1Positive behavior support — strives to use a system to understand what maintains an individual’s challenging behavior. Students’ inappropriate behaviors are difficult to change because they are functional; they serve a purpose for the child. These behaviors are supported by …
2positive end-expiratory pressure — n a technique of assisting breathing by increasing the air pressure in the lungs and air passages near the end of expiration so that an increased amount of air remains in the lungs following expiration abbr. PEEP compare CONTINUOUS POSITIVE… …
3Positive airway pressure — A typical CPAP machine houses the air pump in a case lined with sound absorbing material for quieter operation. A hose carries the pressurized air to a face mask or nasal pillow …
4Reducing agent — A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is the element or a compound in a redox (reduction oxidation) reaction (see electrochemistry) that reduces another species. In doing so, it becomes oxidized , and is therefore the electron… …
5Positive feedback — Alarm or panic can spread by positive feedback among a herd of animals to cause a stampede. Positive feedback is energy taken from the output of a system and reapplied to the input, which is phase congruent with the input signal. A system… …

9Sulfate-reducing bacteria — comprise several groups of bacteria that use sulfate as an oxidizing agent, reducing it to sulfide. Most sulfate reducing bacteria can also use other oxidized sulfur compounds such as sulfite and thiosulfate, or elemental sulfur. This type of… …
10continuous positive airways pressure — an air pressure in the range 5 30 cm H2O (1.2 7.5 mPa). It can be applied to the upper airways using a full face mask or a nasal mask only (nCPAP). It is used in high dependency units to optimize oxygen delivery to patients who are being weaned… …
