Why are babies and children 1 1/2 years and younger NOT allowed to have honey?

Manuka Honey
Some pediatricians recommend that honey should not be fed to babies and children under the age of 1 1/2 years, because of the possibility that honey could contain clostridium botulinum spores, the cause of infant botulism. Spores of this bacteria do not germinate in the acidic adult digestive system, but may grow in the gut of young infants, because they do not have a well-developed digestive system.

What do the signal names 'signal 0', 'signal 1', ... mean?

Frequently Asked Questions about PhysioNet
noted in the answers to the previous two questions, signal names recorded in header files describe the signals in each record. In rare cases, however, this information is missing, usually because it was not preserved when the signals were recorded. Names of the form 'signal N' are default signal names used in such cases; they may appear in header files explicitly, or they may be displayed by PhysioToolkit software if no explicit signal names appear in a header file.

How can 0=1?

Zen Computer FAQ
In zen thinking, though, "nothing" is still "something." Sitting in meditation means doing nothing and something at the same time. Similar examples abound in everyday life. In politics, nonparticipation in the system still makes a political statement. In television, "Seinfeld" can famously proclaim itself to be about nothing, yet still find material for laughs. Yes, zero does not equal one, but with the right perspective, zero does equal one.

What do 0 and 1 represent in zen?

Zen Computer FAQ
In zen, 0 is like the ocean and 1 is like a wave. A wave is of the ocean, but distinct from it, too. Each wave swells up out of the water and moves forward through space and time. The ocean, constant, manifests and powers the wave. human beings, we experience this ocean, this 0, like surfers--catching the wave, or 1, as it rises, and riding it until it dies out or we crash. Each wave, then, is like a lifetime; one ride over, we return to catch another.

What is the difference between Class 1 and Class 0?

ALBI™ STEEL
To achieve Class 1, treated wood must comply with BS 476 : Part 7 for Surface Spread of Flame. To achieve Class 0, treated wood must comply with BS 476 : Part 7 for Surface Spread of Flame and BS 476 : Part 6 for Fire Propagation. Class 0, therefore, is the more demanding performance requirement.

How about RAID 0 + 1 or RAID 10?

Xssist™ Group Pte. Ltd. (Singapore) Frequently Asked Q...
This gives good results but at very high prices as we use SCSI drives. Instead of doing this, we simply setup a second server. This allows better performance. There is diminishing returns in improving only 1 aspect of a server. The other parts of the server become the bottleneck. It is usually better value for us to setup a second server, than to have a RAID 10 setup, in a webhosting server.

Are 0 and 1 good numbers to pick?

GRE Academic FAQs
Unless dictated by the constraints or difficulty level of the questions, 0 and 1 are often not good numbers to pick for variables. Since using these numbers in calculations can often cause unusual things to happen (for example, multiplying any number by 0 gives you 0 and multiplying any number by 1 gives you that number), they are more likely than any other numbers to make more than one answer choice appear to be correct, which means you're going to have to pick new numbers and try again.

How can I enter a "mixed number" such as 1 1/2 ("one and one half")?

Algebra :: FAQ
Mixed number" notation is ambiguous (you never know whether you are supposed to add or multiply the two quantities), and Algebra Solutions doesn't support it. You can easily simulate it by adding a "+" in between (i.e. 1+1/2). However, be careful when multiplying ? you need to use extra parentheses like this: (1+1/2)*(2+1/3)

How do I encode Y'CBCR components from R'G'B' in [0, +1]?

Color FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions Color
Rec. 601 specifies eight-bit coding where Y' has an excursion of 219 and an offset of +16. This coding places black at code 16 and white at code 235, reserving the extremes of the range for signal processing headroom and footroom. CB and CR have excursions of +/-112 and offset of +128, for a range of 16 through 240 inclusive. To compute Y'CBCR from R'G'B' in the range [0.

What does it mean to have 0, 1, or 2 points?

CalSTRS Home Loan Program
A point is one percentage of the loan amount. The lenders offer rates that may be lower, but require paying points. A rate of 7.875% with 1 point for a loan of $100,000 would require the borrower to pay a total of $1,000 to the lender upon closing of the loan. A rate of 8.000% with 0 points will require no payment to the lender, but the interest rate is slightly higher. Points will lower the interest rate and are of most benefit if you intend to keep the loan for a long time.

Should I start the simulation at hour 1 or hour 0 ?

TRNSYS primary
In TRNSYS 16, the start time is the time at which the simulation starts. It is an instantaneous point in time. So a simulation for a whole year would start at 0 and end at hour 8760. A simulation for the month of April would start at hour 2160 and end at hour 2880. In TRNSYS 15 and before, the definition of the start time was different. In those versions, the start time was the time at the end of the first time step.
