dissociation | the act of removing from association |
bend curve | curved segment (of a road or river or railroad track etc.) |
blind curve blind bend | a curve or bend in the road that you cannot see around as you are driving |
oxygen mask | a breathing device that is placed over the mouth and nose, supplies oxygen from an attached storage tank |
curvature curve | the property possessed by the curving of a line or surface |
oxygen deficit | temporary oxygen shortage in cells resulting from strenuous exercise |
normal curve bell-shaped curve Gaussian curve Gaussian shape | a symmetrical curve representing the normal distribution |
regression line regression curve | a smooth curve fitted to the set of paired data in regression analysis, for linear regression the curve is a straight line |
theory of dissociation theory of electrolytic dissociation Arrhenius theory of dissociation | (chemistry) theory that describes aqueous solutions in terms of acids (which dissociate to give hydrogen ions) and bases (which dissociate to give hydroxyl ions), the product of an acid and a base is a salt and water |

curve curved shape | the trace of a point whose direction of motion changes |
closed curve | a curve (such as a circle) having no endpoints |
simple closed curve Jordan curve | a closed curve that does not intersect itself |
sine curve sinusoid | the curve of ysin x |
oxygen debt | a cumulative deficit of oxygen resulting from intense exercise, the deficit must be made up when the body returns to rest |
dissociation disassociation | a state in which some integrated part of a person's life becomes separated from the rest of the personality and functions independently |
