Neurine :: Neurine (n.) A poisonous organic base (a ptomaine) formed in the decomposition of protagon with boiling baryta water, and in the putrefraction of proteid matter. It was for a long time considered identical with choline, a crystalline body originally obtained from bile. Chemically, however, choline is oxyethyl-trimethyl-ammonium hydroxide, while neurine is vinyl-trimethyl-ammonium hydroxide..

Round :: Round (a.) Full; complete; not broken; not fractional; approximately in even units, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.; -- said of numbers..

Millesimal :: Millesimal (a.) Thousandth; consisting of thousandth parts; as, millesimal fractions..

Abbreviate :: Abbreviate (v. t.) To reduce to lower terms, as a fraction..

Algorithm :: Algorithm (n.) The art of calculating with any species of notation; as, the algorithms of fractions, proportions, surds, etc..

Deflection :: Deflection (n.) A deviation of the rays of light toward the surface of an opaque body; inflection; diffraction.

Fractional :: Fractional (a.) Relatively small; inconsiderable; insignificant; as, a fractional part of the population..

Fractional :: Fractional (a.) Of or pertaining to fractions or a fraction; constituting a fraction; as, fractional numbers..

Decimal :: Decimal (n.) A number expressed in the scale of tens; specifically, and almost exclusively, used as synonymous with a decimal fraction..

Eriometer :: Eriometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the diameters of minute particles or fibers, from the size of the colored rings produced by the diffraction of the light in which the objects are viewed..

Denominator :: Denominator (n.) That number placed below the line in vulgar fractions which shows into how many parts the integer or unit is divided.

Seventieth :: Seventieth (n.) The quotient of a unit divided by seventy; one of seventy equal parts or fractions.

Fractionally :: Fractionally (adv.) By fractions or separate portions; as, to distill a liquid fractionally, that is, so as to separate different portions..

Rainbow :: Rainbow (n.) A bow or arch exhibiting, in concentric bands, the several colors of the spectrum, and formed in the part of the hemisphere opposite to the sun by the refraction and reflection of the sun's rays in drops of falling rain..

Anaclastic :: Anaclastic (a.) Produced by the refraction of light, as seen through water; as, anaclastic curves..

Dioptrics :: Dioptrics (n.) The science of the refraction of light; that part of geometrical optics which treats of the laws of the refraction of light in passing from one medium into another, or through different mediums, as air, water, or glass, and esp. through different lenses; -- distinguished from catoptrics, which refers to reflected light..

Diffraction :: Diffraction (n.) The deflection and decomposition of light in passing by the edges of opaque bodies or through narrow slits, causing the appearance of parallel bands or fringes of prismatic colors, as by the action of a grating of fine lines or bars..

Refractor :: Refractor (n.) A refracting telescope, in which the image to be viewed is formed by the refraction of light in passing through a convex lens..

Parabola :: Parabola (n.) One of a group of curves defined by the equation y = axn where n is a positive whole number or a positive fraction. For the cubical parabola n = 3; for the semicubical parabola n = /. See under Cubical, and Semicubical. The parabolas have infinite branches, but no rectilineal asymptotes..

Uniaxial :: Uniaxial (a.) Having but one optic axis, or line of no double refraction..
