  • indirect labor — labor performed, as by maintenance and clerical workers, that is not considered in computing costs per unit of production.
  • indiscoverable — not discoverable.
  • induction coil — a transformer for producing high-voltage alternating current from a low-voltage direct current, consisting essentially of two concentric coils with a common soft-iron core, a primary coil with relatively few windings of heavy wire, and a secondary coil with many turns of fine wire. Excitation of the primary coil by rapidly interrupted or variable current induces high voltage in the secondary coil.
  • interelectrode — existing between multiple electrodes
  • introductorily — By way of introduction.
  • jurisdictional — the right, power, or authority to administer justice by hearing and determining controversies.
  • landing beacon — a radio transmitter that emits a landing beam
  • latency period — Psychoanalysis. the stage of personality development, extending from about four or five years of age to the beginning of puberty, during which sexual urges appear to lie dormant.
  • lattice window — a window formed of an open framework of wood, metal, etc, arranged to form an ornamental pattern
  • lending policy — a set of guidelines and criteria developed by a bank and used by its employees to determine whether an applicant for a loan should be granted or refused the loan
  • lindelof space — a topological space having the property that every cover consisting of open sets has a subcover consisting of a countable number of subsets.
  • line of credit — credit line (def 2).
  • linen cupboard — airing cupboard
  • linolenic acid — colourless unsaturated essential fatty acid
  • listed company — A listed company is a company whose shares are quoted on a stock exchange.
  • load balancing — (operating system, parallel)   Techniques which aim to spread tasks among the processors in a parallel processor to avoid some processors being idle while others have tasks queueing for execution. Load balancing may be performed either by heavily loaded processors (with many tasks in their queues) sending tasks to other processors; by idle processors requesting work from others; by some centralised task distribution mechanism; or some combination of these. Some systems allow tasks to be moved after they have started executing ("task migration") others do not. It is important that the overhead of executing the load balancing algorithm does not contribute significantly to the overall processing or communications load. Distributed scheduling algorithms may be static, dynamic or preemptive. Static algorithms allocate processes to processors at run time while taking no account of current network load. Dynamic algorithms are more flexible, though more computationally expensive, and give some consideration to the network load before allocating the new process to a processor. Preemptive algorithms are more expensive and flexible still, and may migrate running processes from one host to another if deemed beneficial. Research to date indicates that dynamic algorithms yield significant performance benefits, but that further (though lesser) gains may be had through the addition of process migration facilities.
  • mandibulectomy — (surgery) excision of the mandible.
  • medicalisation — Alternative spelling of medicalization.
  • medicalization — The act or process of medicalizing.

  • misdeclaration — An incorrect declaration, especially in an official context.
  • mobile command — the Canadian army and other land forces
  • model checking — (theory, algorithm, testing)   To algorithmically check whether a program (the model) satisfies a specification. The model is usually expressed as a directed graph consisting of nodes (or vertices) and edges. A set of atomic propositions is associated with each node. The nodes represents states of a program, the edges represent possible executions which alters the state, while the atomic propositions represent the basic properties that hold at a point of execution. A specification language, usually some kind of temporal logic, is used to express properties. The problem can be expressed mathematically as: given a temporal logic formula p and a model M with initial state s, decide if M,s \models p.
