  2. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

  3. ΔT (timekeeping) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ΔT_(timekeeping)

    Models estimate this effect to contribute about −0.6 ms/day/cy. Combining these two effects, the net acceleration (actually a deceleration) of the rotation of the Earth, or the change in the length of the mean solar day (LOD), is +1.7 ms/day/cy or +62 s/cy 2 or +46.5 ns/day 2. This matches the average rate derived from astronomical records ...

  4. Local average treatment effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_average_treatment_effect

    The LATE can be estimated by a ratio of the estimated intent-to-treat effect and the estimated proportion of compliers, or alternatively through an instrumental variable estimator. The LATE was first introduced in the econometrics literature by Guido W. Imbens and Joshua D. Angrist in 1994, who shared one half of the 2021 Nobel Memorial Prize ...

  5. Contraction stress test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraction_stress_test

    Presence of late decelerations with at least 50% of the contractions [9] Negative: No late or significant variable decelerations, [9] with at least 3 uterine contractions (lasting 40 seconds) in 10 minute period. [10] Equivocal—Suspicious: Presence of late decelerations with fewer than 50% of contractions or significant variable decelerations.

  6. Amnioinfusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnioinfusion

    Amnioinfusion is a method in which isotonic fluid is instilled into the uterine cavity.. It was introduced in the 1960s as a means of terminating pregnancy and inducing labor in intrauterine death, but is currently used as a treatment in order to correct fetal heart rate changes caused by umbilical cord compression, indicated by variable decelerations seen on fetal heart rate monitoring.

  7. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

    Late intake valve closing (LIVC) The first variation of continuous variable valve timing involves holding the intake valve open slightly longer than a traditional engine. This results in the piston actually pushing air out of the cylinder and back into the intake manifold during the compression stroke.

  9. Umbilical cord prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilical_cord_prolapse

    Umbilical cord prolapse should always be considered a possibility when there is a sudden decrease in fetal heart rate or variable decelerations, particularly after the rupture of membranes. With overt prolapses, the diagnosis can be confirmed if the cord can be felt on vaginal examination.
