Thread Count is the number of threads per one square inch of fabric. The higher thread signifies a tighter weave for a softer feel to the fabric and is one of the indicators used in evaluating the smoothness and quality of the fabric. For added durability and comfort, all Campus Bedding sheets are made of high 300 thread count 100 percent cotton. The finish and type of cotton are also important criteria in determining fabric quality.

Again, not necessarily. A thread count of at least 220 is necessary to make a downproof fabric that is not excessively stiff and heavy. Using smaller yarns leaves more space in the weave, and raising the thread count does not always compensate fully. Even spacing is also important; otherwise down can leak through the less densely packed area. Weaves that have the same warp count as weft count are more stable than fabrics that have a much higher count in one direction than the other. See similar questions...

Some clinical laboratory's correct their reticulocyte counts by multiply the retic count times the patient/s hemtocrit over a normal hemtocrit - 36% for women and 45% for men. Example: a 7.6% retic count on a male was mutiplied by 30/45, giving a 5.1% corrected retic. If this was a female, it would be 7.6% X 30/36 = 6.4% See similar questions...

Thread count is the measure of how many threads, warp and weft, are woven into one square inch of fabric. Thread count is one consideration in the quality of linens; however, more important is the quality of the cotton, the hand or feel of the fabric, and quality of the finishing.

A normal CD4 count is 400-1200 cells per cubic millimeter (mm3), with some variation from lab to lab. When your CD4 count is above 400/mm3, we rarely see any opportunistic infections and there are usually no symptoms related to HIV, except for swollen lymph nodes in some people. When the CD4 count is between 200 and 400/mm3 one can develop tuberculosis, thrush and frequent Herpes infections. See similar questions...

Not necessarily. Higher thread count fabrics have smaller yarns, so they are generally lighter and softer. On the other hand, smaller threads are weaker. Higher thread count fabrics can be far less durable than lower thread count fabrics. Some of the most durable downproof fabric made is a 227 count Egyptian cotton from Germany. The quality of the yarn is just as important as thread count. See similar questions...

All salaries are included in team salary (and count against the cap). The Bird exception simply says a team can exceed the cap to sign certain players. The new salary applies toward the team salary just like the salaries of the team's other players. So if a team is over the cap and uses the Bird exception to re-sign its own free agent, it will end up farther over the cap. If one of the other exceptions wasn't used, it may just be the way the deal was reported. See similar questions...

A pollen count is the measure of the amount of pollen in the air. Pollen counts are commonly included in local weather reports and are usually reported for mold spores and three types of pollen: grasses, trees, and weeds. The count is reported as grains of pollen per square meter of air collected over 24 hours. This number represents the concentration of all the pollen in the air in a certain area at a specific time.

with sheets, a comforter's thread count—the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric - indicates its quality, durability, and feel. Higher thread counts have a tighter weave for a smooth, luxurious touch. Just as important, a high thread-count keeps the dirt out and the down in, making a comforter "down proof". At least 200 threads per square inch are needed to down proof a comforter. Keep your eye out for it. See similar questions...

Thread count is the sum of the warp and weft of the threads per square inch. The higher the "thread count" is the tighter woven the material is. The material will have a smoother and softer feel to it when it has a higher thread count. See similar questions...
