Terma


Definition:

  • (n.) The terminal lamina, or thin ventral part, of the anterior wall of the third ventricle of the brain.

  • (6) The TERMA array is calculated from a weighted average of the TERMA arrays for the ten photon energies to give a "polychromatic TERMA array".

  • (8) Thus the method accounts for the effect of beam hardening of the TERMA.
  • (9) The approach we have used involves computing the dose at all points in a medium by superposing the dose spread array (DSA) from the interaction of a photon at a point in the medium with an array of data representing the TERMA (photon fluence times the photon energy) at points in the beam.

  • (14) The dose distribution is the superposition of the kernels, weighted by the magnitude of the TERMA impulse for all interaction sites.
  • (15) The superposition process is shown to be forgiving to spectral differences when calculating the PDSA, but sensitive to the incident photon energy spectrum used to calculate the TERMA.
  • (16) The Termas Ferraria spa (full day from €34) on São Miguel’s jagged northern tip is efficient, but better is Ferraria’s (free) rock pool, where you’re gently braised by hot spring water while grabbing gamely on to ropes as the Atlantic pounds wildly over your head.
  • (17) The FFT technique is shown to be significantly faster than standard convolution for medium to large TERMA and dose spread array sizes.

Terra


Definition:

  • (n.) The earth; earth.

Example Sentences:
