  2. Parallel compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_compression

    Parallel compression, also known as New York compression, is a dynamic range compression technique used in sound recording and mixing. Parallel compression, a form of upward compression , is achieved by mixing an unprocessed 'dry', or lightly compressed signal with a heavily compressed version of the same signal.

  3. Bienfang's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bienfang's_test

    A positive test is defined by excessive upward excursion followed by downward drift of the upper eyelid immediately after the eye opens, in similar fashion to Cogan's lid twitch sign. The test is negative if the upper eyelid position remains stable when the eye opens. A positive test is consistent with a diagnosis of OMG.

  4. Dynamic range compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression

    Upward compression increases the volume of quiet sounds below a certain threshold. The louder sounds above the threshold remain unaffected. Some compressors also have the ability to do the opposite of compression, namely expansion. Expansion increases the dynamic range of the audio signal. [3] Like compression, expansion comes in two types ...

  5. Parinaud's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parinaud's_syndrome

    More specifically, compression of the vertical gaze center at the rostral interstitial nucleus of medial longitudinal fasciculus (riMLF). It is a group of abnormalities of eye movement and pupil dysfunction and is named for Henri Parinaud [ 6 ] [ 7 ] (1844–1905), considered to be the father of French ophthalmology .

  6. Davis's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis's_Law

    Davis's law is used in anatomy and physiology to describe how soft tissue models along imposed demands. It is similar to Wolff's law, which applies to osseous tissue.It is a physiological principle stating that soft tissue heal according to the manner in which they are mechanically stressed.

  7. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(physics)

    Compression test on a universal testing machine. Compression of solids has many implications in materials science, physics and structural engineering, for compression yields noticeable amounts of stress and tension. By inducing compression, mechanical properties such as compressive strength or modulus of elasticity, can be measured. [5]

  8. Orogeny - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orogeny

    Orogeny (/ ɒ ˈ r ɒ dʒ ə n i /) is a mountain-building process that takes place at a convergent plate margin when plate motion compresses the margin. An orogenic belt or orogen develops as the compressed plate crumples and is uplifted to form one or more mountain ranges.

  9. Plantar reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_reflex

    Babinski's sign in a healthy newborn. The Babinski sign can indicate upper motor neuron lesion constituting damage to the corticospinal tract.Occasionally, a pathological plantar reflex is the first and only indication of a serious disease process and a clearly abnormal plantar reflex often prompts detailed neurological investigations, including CT scanning of the brain or MRI of the spine, as ...
