Accubation (pronounced ack-yew-bay-shun) is the act or posture of reclining on a couch, particularly as practiced by ancient Greeks and Romans during meals, involving leaning back on the left elbow at a low table. It's a somewhat archaic word derived from Latin for "to recline," signifying a comfortable, semi-recumbent position for dining or resting.
Grandiloquent Word of the Day: Accubation (ACK•yew•bay•shun) Noun: The act or posture of reclining on a couch. Used in a sentence: "My entire weekend will be spent in languid accubation!"
Incubation is defined as the process of allowing inoculated cultures to grow under specific conditions of temperature, atmosphere, and duration, tailored to the requirements of different pathogens.
(IN-kyoo-bay-ted) Grown in the laboratory under controlled conditions. For example, white blood cells can be grown in special conditions so that they attack specific cancer cells when returned to the body.
Acclimation is when you adjust to a new climate or situation. You could say that your acclimation to living in a new country has been harder than you expected. The process of acclimation is all about the way that a person or other organism adapts to a new environment.
To incubate means to keep something safe and warm so that it can grow. The word can be used metaphorically to mean to keep something safe in order for it to have time to grow. You incubate a plan or an idea before bringing it into the world, or, metaphorically speaking, hatching it.
Egg incubation is the process by which an egg, of oviparous (egg-laying) animals, develops an embryo within the egg, after the egg's formation and ovipositional release. Egg incubation is done under favorable environmental conditions, possibly by brooding and hatching the egg.
Definitions of intubation. noun. the insertion of a cannula or tube into a hollow body organ. synonyms: cannulation, cannulisation, cannulization, canulation, canulisation, canulization. insertion, introduction, intromission.
: a set of criteria used as a test to evaluate a work of fiction (such as a film) on the basis of its inclusion and representation of female characters.
ABSTRACT. Heat acclimation or acclimatization (HA) occurs with repeated exposure to heat inducing adaptations that enhance thermoregulatory mechanisms and heat tolerance leading to improved exercise performance in warm-to-hot conditions.
It usually means getting accustomed to a particular new climate, but it can also mean getting used to other situations, such as a new school. The word climate in the word acclimate should give you a clue as to the word's meaning: to get used to a specific climate.
One of the best known examples of acclimatization in humans can be observed when travelling to high altitude locations – such as tall mountains or hill stations. For instance, if an individual hikes to 3,000 meters above sea level and stays there for 1-3 days, they become acclimatized to 3,000 meters.
An incubation period is how long it takes for you to develop symptoms after exposure to an infectious disease. Healthcare providers typically measure it in days or weeks.
The female bird incubates the eggs. Researchers incubated the cells in the laboratory. The cultures must incubate for five more days. The virus will incubate in the body for several days before the patient experiences any symptoms.
If you can see blood vessels within the egg, there is a live embryo inside. Blood vessels in chicken eggs are normally observable within 7 to 10 days of an egg's incubation. By 18 days of incubation, the embryo takes up most of the egg and appears as a dark area within the egg.
Abstract: Incubation effect refers to the phenomenon that when people are confronted with an unsolvable problem, they temporarily put it aside and switch to complete other irrelevant tasks instead, which is beneficial to the ultimate solution of the original problem.
Legal incubators have emerged as models that enable newly-admitted lawyers to acquire the range of skills necessary to launch successful practices that expand access to legal services for those of low and moderate incomes.
There are two types of incubation: natural incubation where a hen sits on eggs, and artificial incubation using machines. Proper incubation requires maintaining egg temperatures around 100°F and humidity between 60-80% over the 21 day period.
