ablations

listen to the pronunciation of ablations
الإنجليزية - الإنجليزية
plural of ablation
ablation
The surgical removal of a body part; amputation
ablation
A carrying or taking away; removal
ablation
The progressive removal of material by any of a variety of processes such as vaporization under heat or chipping
constitutive ablations
plural form of constitutive ablation
ablation
{n} the act of taking away, a removal
Ablation
Elimination or removal
Ablation
A process by where the atmosphere melts away and removes the surface material of an incoming meteorite
Ablation
1 All processes that remove snow, ice, or water from a glacier, snowfield, etc ; in this sense, the opposite of accumulation These processes include melting, evaporation, calving, wind erosion, and an avalanche Air temperature is the dominant factor in controlling ablation, precipitation amounts exercising only secondary control During the ablation season (usually summer), an ablation rate of about 2 mm h-1 is typical of glaciers in a temperate climate 2 The amount of snow or ice removed by the above-described processes; in this sense, the opposite of accumulation
Ablation
elimination or removal Also refers to a procedure that eliminates extra electrical pathways within the heart that cause fast or irregular heart rhythms
Ablation
The process by which ice and snow dissipate owing to melting and evaporation
Ablation
The process of removal of the eye in crustaceans This is done to promote moulting and/or spawning The eye stalk is a source of GIH (Gonadotropin Inhibiting Hormone) and so it's removal, reduces or eliminates the signals which are stopping gonadotropins (which start and control the maturation process) from being produced
Ablation
The removal of surface material from a body by vaporization, melting, chipping, or other erosive process; specifically, the intentional removal of material from a nose cone or spacecraft during high-speed movement through a planetary atmosphere to provide thermal protection to the underlying structure See ablating material
Ablation
process of removal by erosion, melting, evaporation, or vaporization
Ablation
removal or destruction of a body part
Ablation
elimination or removal Ablation also refers to a procedure that eliminates extra electrical pathways within the heart that cause fast or irregular heart rhythms
Ablation
Occurs when more glacier ice is lost by melting and evaporation each year than is added by snowfall
Ablation
Removal In the case of the excimer laser, the frequency of energy causes the molecules of the cornea to loose the "glue" that holds them together They simply fall away from each other and the remaining cornea
Ablation
(1) The process by which ice and snow waste away as a result of melting and/or evaporation (2) The erosive processes by which a glacier is reduced
Ablation
The process by which ice and snow waste away owing to melting and evaporation
Ablation
The process by which ice and snow waste away as a result of melting and/or evaporation
Ablation
the erosive process that reduces the size of glaciers
Ablation
Surface removal of ice or snow from a glacier or snowfield by melting, sublimation, and/or calving
Ablation
The vaporization of tissue with the excimer laser
Ablation
The removal or destruction of tissue
Ablation
The wearing away of material by mechanical means For a meteoroid, the heat of friction as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere melts and removes those materials at the surface of the object
Ablation
All processes, which include melting, evaporation (sublimation), wind erosion, and calving (breaking off of ice masses), that remove snow or ice from a glacier or snowfield The term also refers to the amount of snow or ice removed by these processes (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 1990)
Ablation
the loss of snow and ice from a glacier by melting and evaporation It is the opposite of accumulation
Ablation
In glaciers, refers to melting, erosion and evaporation which reduces the area of the ice
Ablation
surgical removal of a body part or tissue
ablation
The dissipation of the heat of re-entry of a spacecraft, meteor, or similar object
ablation
{i} surgical removal, excision; reduction of the mass of a glacier through the melting and evaporation of snow and ice; burning away of a spacecraft's protective covering during atmospheric reentry
ablation
Wearing away; superficial waste
ablation
surgical removal of a body part or tissue the erosive process that reduces the size of glaciers
ablation
Extirpation
ablation
The erosion of a glacier
