Abduction
Abduction Ab*duc"tion, n. [L. abductio: cf. F. abduction.]
1. The act of abducing or abducting; a drawing apart; a
carrying away. --Roget.
2. (Physiol.) The movement which separates a limb or other
part from the axis, or middle line, of the body.
3. (Law) The wrongful, and usually the forcible, carrying off
of a human being; as, the abduction of a child, the
abduction of an heiress.
4. (Logic) A syllogism or form of argument in which the major
is evident, but the minor is only probable.
AdductionAdduction Ad*duc"tion, n. [Cf. F. adduction. See Adduce.]
1. The act of adducing or bringing forward.
An adduction of facts gathered from various
quarters. --I. Taylor.
2. (Physiol.) The action by which the parts of the body are

--Dunglison. asexual reproductionReproduction Re`pro*duc"tion (-d?k"sh?n), n. [Cf. F.
reproduction.]
1. The act or process of reproducing; the state of being
reproduced; specifically (Biol.), the process by which
plants and animals give rise to offspring.
Note: There are two distinct methods of reproduction; viz.:
asexual reproduction (agamogenesis) and sexual
reproduction (gamogenesis). In both cases the new
individual is developed from detached portions of the
parent organism. In asexual reproduction (gemmation,
fission, etc.), the detached portions of the organism
develop into new individuals without the intervention
of other living matter. In sexual reproduction, the
detached portion, which is always a single cell, called
the female germ cell, is acted upon by another portion
of living matter, the male germ cell, usually from
another organism, and in the fusion of the two
(impregnation) a new cell is formed, from the
development of which arises a new individual.

homogenous body from particle to particle,

Induction generatorInduction generator In*duc"tion gen"er*a`tor
A machine built as an induction motor and driven above
synchronous speed, thus acting as an alternating-current
generator; -- called also asynchronous generator. Below
synchronism the machine takes in electrical energy and acts
as an induction motor; at synchronism the power component of
current becomes zero and changes sign, so that above
synchronism the machine (driven for thus purpose by
mechanical power) gives out electrical energy as a generator. Induction motor
Induction motor Induction motor (Elec.)
A type of alternating-current motor comprising two wound
members, one stationary, called the stator, and the other
rotating, called the rotor, these two members corresponding
to a certain extent to the field and armature of a
direct-current motor.
