ablation

listen to the pronunciation of ablation
Englisch - Englisch
The surgical removal of a body part; amputation
A carrying or taking away; removal
The progressive removal of material by any of a variety of processes such as vaporization under heat or chipping
{n} the act of taking away, a removal
Elimination or removal
A process by where the atmosphere melts away and removes the surface material of an incoming meteorite
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
elimination or removal Also refers to a procedure that eliminates extra electrical pathways within the heart that cause fast or irregular heart rhythms
The process by which ice and snow dissipate owing to melting and evaporation
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
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
process of removal by erosion, melting, evaporation, or vaporization
removal or destruction of a body part
elimination or removal Ablation also refers to a procedure that eliminates extra electrical pathways within the heart that cause fast or irregular heart rhythms
Occurs when more glacier ice is lost by melting and evaporation each year than is added by snowfall
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
(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
The process by which ice and snow waste away owing to melting and evaporation
The process by which ice and snow waste away as a result of melting and/or evaporation
the erosive process that reduces the size of glaciers
Surface removal of ice or snow from a glacier or snowfield by melting, sublimation, and/or calving
The vaporization of tissue with the excimer laser
The removal or destruction of tissue
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
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)
the loss of snow and ice from a glacier by melting and evaporation It is the opposite of accumulation
In glaciers, refers to melting, erosion and evaporation which reduces the area of the ice
surgical removal of a body part or tissue
The dissipation of the heat of re-entry of a spacecraft, meteor, or similar object
{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
Wearing away; superficial waste
surgical removal of a body part or tissue the erosive process that reduces the size of glaciers
Extirpation
The erosion of a glacier
constitutive ablation
A gene expression which results in cell death
catheter ablation
Catheter ablation is an invasive procedure used to remove a faulty electrical pathway from the hearts of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardias (SVT) and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
