Senses:
gloss: A partially ordered set.
pos: noun
examples: 1973, Barbara L. Osofsky, Homological Dimensions of Modules, American Mathematical Society, →ISBN, page 76,
42. Definition. A poset (partially ordered set) (X, ≤) (usually written just X) is a set X together with a transitive, antisymmetric relation ≤ on X.
43. Definition. A linearly ordered set or chain is a poset (X, ≤), such that ∀a, b ∈ X, either a ≤ b or b ≤ a or a = b.
1998, Yuri A. Drozd, Representations of bisected posets and reflection functors, Idun Reiten, Sverre O. Smalø, Øyvind Solberg (editors), Algebras and Modules II, American Mathematical Society (for Canadian Mathematical Society), page 153,
We construct a complete set of reflection functors for the representations of posets and prove that they really have the usual properties. In particular, when the poset is of finite representation type, all of its indecomposable representations can be obtained from some "trivial" ones via relations. To define such reflection functors, a wider class of matrix problem is introduced, called "representations of bisected posets".
The combinatorial interest in posets is largely due to two unoriented graphs associated with a given poset: the comparability graph (which we shall not consider here) and the covering graph.

radiogram
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: From radio- (prefix denoting radioactivity or radiation) + -gram (suffix denoting something drawn, written, or otherwise recorded).
Base: radio
Inflected forms:
form: radiograms
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: Synonym of radiograph (“an image, often a photographic negative, produced by radiation other than ordinary light; especially an X-ray photograph”).
pos: noun
examples: Following my usual custom, with some difficulty I removed the radiogram from the mount and found in the upper one half of the left border a radiopaque shadow in the area previously covered by the film mount frame. […] This indicated that another radiogram should be made, which revealed an impacted third molar in disto-oblique position.
The method I use is to outline the contour of the chest wall on an X-ray film and to transpose it on a sheet of paper. If the radiogram has been taken correctly, the outline of the chest will be clearly visible on the film, the edge of the ribs contrasting quite sharply against the shadow of less density given by soft parts covering the thorax.
[F]ractures in animals, which were on a diet that deranged their calcium and phosphorus metabolism healed normally as judged from histological sections. But when radiograms were taken of these fractures they revealed little callus and hence the radiograms would normally be interpreted as indicating non-union; that is, that a bony callus had not formed. […] Accordingly, radiograms do not always give an accurate indication of whether or not osteogenesis has occurred.
