ldquo;µg” is the proper scientific designation for micrograms. The labeling guidelines (for food), use µg even though “mcg” for microgram is currently more easily understood by consumers. We are following the proper guidelines and believe that consumers will soon catch up. Back to top of page

This chart can help convert dosages cited in studies between international units (IU) and milligrams (mg). For example, 400 IU of synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol is converted to 363 mg dl-alpha-tocopherol by dividing 400 IU by 1.10. See similar questions...

The decision was based upon three key points: (1) my interest in psychological domains/complexes and association theory, (2) the theories of semantic differentials and antinomies, and (3) a means of complementing my phenomenological research on the nature and functions of the mind. According to semanticists, different concepts and constructs are conveyed by shades of meanings of words. See similar questions...

Chlorine changes the tastes and odor of water. Chlorination can also produce harmful by-products called Trihalomethanes (THMs) which are linked to incidence of cancer. No, the UV unit will use about the same amount of energy as a 60 watt light bulb. It is a cost effective, natural way to increase water quality where microbiological contamination is present and to provide peace of mind where microbiological contamination is a greater risk.

The mohel is a super-specialist, an expert at his profession, who probably possesses more experience at performing circumcisions than most doctors. A mohel may have the opportunity to perform more brisses in a month than some doctors do in an entire year. Doctors may be called away on medical emergencies and have to cancel their participation in your child's circumcision at the last minute. See similar questions...

When we started developing MusicXML, a DTD (Document Type Definition) was the only official W3C recommendation for defining an XML document. Since that time, XML Schemas have become an official W3C recommendation, and alternative schema languages like RELAX NG have also become available. W3C XML Schemas offer many benefits when using XML in electronic commerce and business database applications. For musical documents, though, the advantages are less compelling.

This is mainly a stylistic decision. Several XML books advise representing semantics in elements rather than attributes where possible. One advantage of doing this is that elements have structure, but attributes do not. If you find that what you are representing really has more than one part, you can create a hierarchical structure with an element. With attributes, you are limited to an unordered list.

A As Georgia’s only health sciences university and the CSRA’s only academic medical center, our mission is to improve health and reduce the burden of illness in society. By undertaking this initiative, MCG and its related entities join numerous educational and health care facilities across the state and nation in protecting our employees, patients and visitors from exposure to secondhand smoke. This is an important step in fulfilling our role as healthcare leader in Georgia. See similar questions...

I know, I hate it when I look at an allegedly reusable library, no matter how useful, and its IO is based on some sort of homegrown paradigm instead of something common. However, think about the specific requirements we have in this application - cross platform data means we need a type IO abstraction layer to handle little-endian vs. big-endian issues.

Well, "The Dollhouse" had been taken. We decided to be different and catchy. A stroke of luck in 2006 enabled us to acquire www.thedollhousestore.com, which we had changed to as of March 1st. We will keep the other website as a sister site with the same items and information. top See similar questions...

The webcam project was done with essentially zero dollars for a budget. Thus, we had to use as much existing equipment as possible, and cut as many corners as we could. We already had the camera mounted on the roof, the video cables run to our broadcast control room, and a spare computer. The frame grabber and Webcam32 were chosen because they worked well and were low-cost. See similar questions...

You can export your precise data to UG or SolidEdge using IGES or STEP. Step is preferred since it does a better job supporting solid modeling data. See similar questions...

Maybe, but be careful. ReaderWriterLock is used to allow multiple threads to read from a data source, while still granting exclusive access to a single writer thread. This makes sense for data access that is mostly read-only, but there are some caveats. First, ReaderWriterLock is relatively poor performing compared to Monitor.Enter/Exit, which offsets some of the benefits. Second, you need to be very sure that the data structures you are accessing fully support multithreaded read access. See similar questions...

Whilst both fabrics are natural products, silk has the advantage over cotton as it is a protein fibre of animal origin rather than a vegetable fibre and has the ability to mimic human hair. The long strands of silk provide a smooth, friction free garment which will not irritate the skin, even on the most active toddler. In addition, DermaSilk is capable of maintaining a stable body temperature in whatever climate and absorbing up to 1/3 rd of its weight in moisture before it begins to feel damp.

Conventional silk underclothes are made of tightly woven threads which do not allow for the free passage of air through their weave – rather like the material used in parachutes. DermaSilk uses a specially designed knitted construction with plenty of ventilation capacity. You can breathe through 48 layers of DermaSilk without too much effort. This is very important for eczema patients who need to maintain a stable temperature and moisture levels close to their skin. See similar questions...

You cannot use zone valves with the open system because of the need for flow during the off season. You can use zone valves with a closed system although we find that it is more costly and not energy efficient. You need to buy one large pump that will waste energy if only one zone is called.

Music can often be distracting in itself, to you as well as your co-workers. This is particularly true for music with lyrics. ChatterBlocker was intentionally designed for blocking unwanted speech, while simultaneously minimizing distraction. Many of the sound file were recorded in binaural, which makes them especially effective at masking sounds coming from any direction. See similar questions...
