The induction of CAM is considered a stress response which maintains a positive carbon balance. However, the induction of phycoerythrin under UV-B stress has also been reported. A chapter on Trance Inductions offers extensive transcripts of several forms of hypnotic inductions that will be useful to the reader new to hypnosis. Anthers subjected to stress conditions can become a target for embryo induction. In addition to their induction by hypoxic stress, they are also found in rapidly growing tissues such as root tips of germinating seeds. In this respect it should be noted that induction of heat-shock proteins can also be triggered by stress factors other than heat. 2.1Medicine The process of bringing on childbirth or abortion by artificial means, typically by the use of drugs. 〔医〕（尤指使用药物的）引产，引起流产 Example sentencesExamples Once the fetal demise was diagnosed, pregnancy was terminated by medical induction, such that the products of conception were largely delivered intact. While in the US most women receive epidurals for pain relief in labor and many elect labor inductions, neither of these common procedures is evidence based. A recent study indicates that Cytotec labor inductions in women who have had a previous cesarean carry a 28-fold increase in the risk of uterine rupture. There seems to be a large percentage of inductions and Caesarian deliveries. Labor is induced in up to 20 percent of pregnancies, and cervical ripening is required in about one half of inductions. Synonyms beginning, inception, onset, emergence, appearance, first appearance, arrival, eruption, dawn, birth 3Logic The inference of a general law from particular instances. 〔逻〕归纳。常与DEDUCTION 相对 Often contrasted with deduction Example sentencesExamples Hans Reichenbach defended it by saying that the only conceivable way we can learn anything about nature is by making inductions from available evidence. First, it seems to be that I agree that induction does not prove something; however, it also appeared to me that we both agreed that it was an ‘indicator.’ Hume famously claimed that inductions are based on regularities found in experience, and concluded that the inductive predictions may very well turn out being false. For Aristotle, there are two species of arguments: inductions and deductions (Posterior Analytics I.1, 71a5ff.). There are techniques to critical thinking, such as the careful application of logic or the alternative application of deduction and induction. Similarly, there is no deductive proof that induction - inference from past evidence to future occurrences - is valid. When this is pointed out, many fall back to the softer empiricist idea that we know by induction that nature in fact is economical in its means. The two principal features of Bacon's new method were an emphasis on gradual, progressive inductions, and a method of exclusion. Synonyms deriving, deduction, deducing, inferring, inference, gathering, gleaning, drawing out, extraction, eliciting 3.1induction of The production of facts to prove a general statement. （为证明概括性说明）归纳，摆出（事实） 3.2Mathematics A means of proving a theorem by showing that if it is true of any particular case it is true of the next case in a series, and then showing that it is indeed true in one particular case. 〔数〕归纳法 Example sentencesExamples As well as his analysis of the nature of number, his work on mathematical induction is of major importance. The principle of mathematical induction, claimed Poincaré, cannot be logically deduced. This result is easy to prove by mathematical induction. Many of the formula on the Fibonacci and Golden Section formulae page can be proved by induction. The method of mathematical induction may be very useful. 4The production of an electric or magnetic state by the proximity (without contact) of an electrified or magnetized body. 电磁感应。参见MAGNETIC INDUCTION See also magnetic induction Example sentencesExamples He published his theory of electrical induction in two papers, the first in 1845 and the second in 1847. After all parts are connected, electromagnetic induction will cause stimulation of the cochlear nerve, which allows the patient to perceive sound. This example illustrates the phenomenon of induction - an electrical charge built up due to the rearrangement of atoms. Controlled adjustable manufacturing method for variable laminations used in electro-magnetic induction devices Other topics he worked on include wave propagation, electrical induction, earthquakes, aeronautics, and the theory of tides. 4.1 The production of an electric current in a conductor by varying the magnetic field applied to the conductor. 感应（改变导体磁场从而产生电流） Example sentencesExamples As this bobbin is such an excellent conductor, the change in the magnetic flux is opposed in the bobbin by the induction of an alternating current. This yields low eddy current losses at high induction levels. These assumed action at a distance and deduced the mathematical laws for induction of electric currents. According to Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction, a changing magnetic field can induce electric current to flow in any conductive structure nearby. 5The stage of the working cycle of an internal combustion engine in which the fuel mixture is drawn into the cylinders. （内燃机）进气，吸气 Example sentencesExamples In speaking of Newtonian mechanics, he praised it for bringing so much under so few hypotheses, and spoke of it as a ‘consilience of inductions.’ Origin Late Middle English: from Latin inductio(n-), from the verb inducere ‘lead into’ (see induce).
