flow | any uninterrupted stream or discharge |
menstruation menses menstruum catamenia period flow | the monthly discharge of blood from the uterus of nonpregnant women from puberty to menopause, the women were sickly and subject to excessive menstruation, a woman does not take the gout unless her menses be stopped--Hippocrates, the semen begins to appear in males and to be emitted at the same time of life that the catamenia begin to flow in females--Aristotle |
coefficient | a constant number that serves as a measure of some property or characteristic |
absorption coefficient coefficient of absorption absorptance | a measure of the rate of decrease in the intensity of electromagnetic radiation (as light) as it passes through a given substance, the fraction of incident radiant energy absorbed per unit mass or thickness of an absorber, absorptance equals minus transmittance |
