easy way to explain these terms is to compare them to how you drive your car. The K Factor is the "miles per gallon" your house gets, similar to the miles per gallon your car gets. The Degree Days are the number of accumulated miles your home can go before it needs a delivery. Just like your car can only go so many miles before you need to stop and gas up.

K-Factor (Thermal Conductivity Factor) - The measure of heat in Btus that pass through one square foot of a homogeneous substance, 1 inch thick, in an hour, for each degree F temperature difference. The lower the K-value, the higher the insulating value. Textbook definition: The time rate of steady heat flow through a unit area of a homogeneous material induced by a unit temperature gradient in a direction perpendicular to that unit area.

A k factor transformer is derated to survive in a harmonic rich environment. It will not cancel any harmonic. See similar questions...

A transformer that is designed to handle the odd harmonic current loads caused by much of today's modern office equipment. A non-linear transformer has a K-factor rating that is an index of its ability to supply harmonic content in its load current while remaining within its operating temperature limit.

K-Factor (Thermal Conductivity Factor) - the actual K-Factor number for an insulation material is based on the number of Btus per hour that pass through a 1" thick by 1" square block of insulation with a 1°F temperature difference between the two surfaces. Materials with the lower K-factor are better insulators. Insulation materials usually have K-Factors less than one and are reported at what is called Mean Temperature. See similar questions...

Generally, the effects are very similar no matter how transfer factors enter the body. Because transfer factors originate in the blood, the source of transfer factors is identical whether they reenter the body in concentrated form such as 4Life? Transfer Factor?, or by injection.

Korean Force or K-Force. With the commitment of Australian forces to the Korean War, the Australian government called for 1,000 men to enlist in the army for three years, with one year of overseas service in Korea. (Normal enlistment time at that stage was for 6 years but this was a deterrent to many WW2 veterans who wanted/needed a shorter term). See similar questions...

Vitrification is cryopreservation which is done with cryoprotectant (antifreeze) mixtures and procedures which are so effective that freezing can be eliminated entirely − there is effectively no ice-crystal formation. In vitrification, tissues of the cryonics patient harden like glass rather than crystallize. It is currently not possible to vitrify most organs, but the brain can be vitrified.

RAID-K is a type of RAID that is proprietary to Kaleidescape. RAID-K has similarities to RAID 4, but it does not use block-level striping of file data — it attempts to keep each movie or music album wholly contained on a single disk. Also, the redundant parity information may exist on more than one disk in order to accommodate a mixture of different sizes of disks. Finally, there is more than just parity data in the redundant information used to achieve fault tolerance. See similar questions...

Though technically more complex than this, Damping factor is usually thought of as an indicator of how tight an amplifier will sound when powering bass speakers. A speaker's driving motor is a coil of wire (called a voice coil) mounted within a magnetic field. As this coil of wire moves within the field a voltage will be induced in the voice coil.

Weather can slow down a move. But, most trustworthy movers will still move during harsh weather conditions. But, if the conditions get too severe, you will have to reschedule. See similar questions...

A cooling degree day is used during warm weather to estimate the required energy for cooling indoor air to a comfortable temperature. One cooling degree day occurs for each degree a day’s average air temperature is above 65°F. Large cooling degree day values imply warm weather and, thus, a large energy demand for cooling. This Climate Prediction Center page has more about degree days, as does this National Climatic Data Center page. See similar questions...

In order to find the past 24 hours for U.S. locations, first enter your zip code or city and state in the "Local Weather Forecast" box in the top left of the website. Second, scroll down the page to "Past Weather Check" section, which provides a brief look at yesterday's weather. Finally, click on the "Past Month's Weather" link found in that section. There you will find in the last column a list for the degree days for that day. See similar questions...
