Noun

reejection (countable and uncountable, plural reejections)

1. The act of reejecting.
   • However, normal or increased cardiac performance in some young or borderline hypertensive subjects has shown them to be associated with faster heart rates and shorter preejection fractions and lower ratios of reejection period (PEP) and left ventricular ejection time (LVET).2012, Robert M. Kaplan, Michael H. Criqui, Behavioral Epidemiology and Disease Prevention, →ISBN, page 305
   • Realistically, reejection becomes ineffective once a star gains too much energy: first because the density in many galaxies falls off more rapidly than r⁻² beyond rₕ, and second because a star with large apoapsis is easily perturbed from its nearly radial orbit on the way in or out.2013, David Merritt, Dynamics and Evolution of Galactic Nuclei, →ISBN, page 451
