1 in tennis, the action of hitting the bottom of the ball so that it does not bounce very high when it hits the ground:
3 in the sports of golf and baseball, to hit a ball so that it goes to one side rather than straight in front:
4 a flat, often thin piece of food that has been cut from a larger piece:
5 to cut something into thin pieces, or to cut one or more thin pieces from something:
Let us note a general 2-categorical fact, that pullback functors between slices preserve existing exponentials.
After several days in culture, microtome slices spread into a thin layer 100-200 m thick.
Brains were then cut by vibratome into 350 mthick slices.
The current state (star) has equal distance to both slices.
The number of slices is mainly limited by a memory constraint.
The large intestine was sliced longitudinally, its contents emptied into a 10 litre bucket and the intestinal wall washed carefully with physiological saline.
A problem with this slicing perpendicular to the nominal trajectory is that the nominal trajectory is not known (yet).
Images of similar quality, depicting the anatomy of the repaired region by multiple transaxial and oblique sagittal slices, were obtained in all 20 patients.
