This term is frequently misunderstood given that it is also used to describe radioactive materials and ionized radiation. In the context of Low Intensity Laser Therapy, "radiation" simply means the transmission of energy. LILT does produce radiation, but as photon energy in the visible red and near infra-red regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

quot;Radiation" is often misinterpreted since it is also used to describe radioactive materials and ionizing radiation. The use of the word "radiation" in terms of laser light is merely an expression of energy transmission.

In a group insurance policy, a preexisting medical condition is defined as a physical or mental condition for which medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment was recommended or received within six months prior to the insured's enrollment under the plan.

Bond quality means the creditworthiness of the issuing organization—the likelihood that it will be able to repay its debt. Independent rating services, such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, publish directories (available in most large libraries) that rate bond quality. A lower rating means the service associates a greater credit risk with that particular bond issue.

Quoting refers to quotes of other people's posts to the list. It does not refer to quoting of Lois McMaster Bujold's material, although excessive quoting of that should be avoided too, for other obvious reasons.

quot;Just a Bunch Of Disks", or JBOD, is not really a RAID configuration. The term refers to hard drives that are concatenated (combined or "spanned") to create a large volume. A JBOD configuration provides no real performance benefits or fault tolerance, but it does allow for total usage of all the available space on each disk.

With major hubs in Chicago and Los Angeles, ETF will have the capability to grow by incorporating resources such as additional computing facilities, large data facilities and instrumentation resources. These additional resources, once integrated into the ETF backplane, will be able to share the grid-enabled environment and gain high-speed access to terascale computing platforms, large data archives and visualization environments.

Labor is the process by which contractions of a pregnant uterus cause birth. The term "back labor" refers to labor in which the birth mother feels the most discomfort in her lower back, usually just above the tailbone. Many women do not recognize this back pain as the beginning of true labor. In order to understand the differences between "false labor" and "true labor", visit the labor and birth and inducing labor links.

With the Managed DentalGuard PPD plan, most diagnostic and preventive services are covered at no cost to you. However, for basic, major and some preventive services, you will pay a certain amount -- which is referred to as a patient charge -- for each covered service you receive. The patient charges for your PPD plan are listed in your certificate of coverage booklet, so you'll always know what you'll have to pay for services you need.

The assessment ratio is the relationship between a property’s assessed value and the property’s selling price. This relationship is expressed as a ratio (a percentage). The assessment ratio is calculated by dividing the property’s assessed value by the property’s selling price. For example, if a property is assessed at $95,000 and sold for $100,000, you divide $95,000 by $100,000 and this gives you an assessment ratio of 95%.

People will be sharing it in a way that doesn't guarantee a full pipe to each user all the time. For example, a T1 is comparable to 6 256k connections (6 x 256k = 1.5 MB) but we'll be selling the equivalent of more than 6 DSL lines for a T1. This isn't an entirely accurate example but it's an easy way to get the idea across. For those who have demanding bandwidth needs, frame relay or T1 is highly recommended. With shared DSL service, you're not guaranteed bandwidth.

If the amount you want to borrow is greater than 90% of the value of the property then you will be required to prove that you have genuine savings. Genuine savings is money saved in a bank or term deposit over a certain time period (generally 6 months) or shares held for at least 6 months. Most lenders will want to see at least 5% genuine savings (of the purchase price). If you have less than 5% then the mortgage insurance premium you will pay will substantially increase.

The Solar Radiation or irradiance measurement is not a measure of sunshine duration but energy flow or flux from the sun's electromagnetic radiation measured in Watts per square meter . This energy flow (insolation) is what causes heating of the earth's surface and what makes solar power generation possible. Solar radiation is variable according to the time of year, the elevation of the sun above the horizon, and the obscuration from cloud or haze.

A hazard means anything that can cause harm (e.g. chemicals, electricity, working at height, machinery etc).

Vacuum Combing is the use of a short stroke combing across the scalp combined with a powerful suction along the hair length to effectively dislodge and capture the lice. The combination of combing and airflow is very effective at removing adult lice and nymphs.

quot;Destination therapy" indicates that a device is intended to be the primary therapy that is applied over an extended period of time. It is not planned to be replaced by an alternate therapy. In this case, the Arrow LionHeart™ LVAS is an implanted destination therapy system that is intended to assist severe congestive heart failure patients who are unresponsive to medical therapy and who are considered ineligible to receive a heart transplant.

ISO/IEC Guide 2:2004 defines a standard as a document, established by consensus and approved by a recognized body, that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context.

Certification is a third-party attestation related to products, processes, systems or persons.

This is a term used to describe 'the ascribing of human characteristics to non human things'. In this case, we tend to attach our emotional feelings to wild birds, forgetting that these are wild creatures and do not have human emotions as we might think. They instead live primarily by instincts. This is a study that can get very in-depth and I don't want to get into it here, but just remember, wild creatures don't show emotions as we humans do.

A sustained response is where no presence of the virus can be detected immediately after therapy, and for six months afterwards. Recent research shows that 99% of these people maintain their viral clearance for at least fours years and it is believed their response will last indefinitely. It is also becoming clear that the majority of people who experience a sustained response will enjoy a reversal of their underlying liver damage, even from the stage of cirrhosis.

Good question. The situation is this. Our program was born in a totally non-English speaking environment where it was absolutely necessary to teach teachers who had little or no English language background or training to teach English.

Lever latch handles have a plain back plate. They are used in conjunction with either a mortice or tubular latch which is normally 2.1/2" or 3" long, although longer sizes can be obtained if the handles need to be placed further in from the door edge.
