Relative Heat Gain is the combination of solar heat gain (the transmitted energy plus that amount of absorbed energy that is radiated to the interior) and heat transfer due to the indoor/outdoor temperature differential.

The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient is the fraction of incident solar radiation admitted through a window, both directly transmitted and absorbed and subsequently released inward. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower a window's solar heat gain coefficient, the less solar heat it transmits. A SHGC of 0.40 or less is recommended in warm climates. In heating-dominated climates, a high SHGC increases passive solar gain for the heating, but reduces cooling season performance. See similar questions...

Solar heat gain coefficient is the solar heat gain through glass relative to the incident solar radiation. The SHGC is similar to the SC, but also accounts for absorbed, convected, and inwardly radiated solar energy. See similar questions...

The troposphere is comparable in thickness to the skin of an apple. The distance from the equator to the pole is 10,000 km while the maximum height of the troposphere is 20 km; a width-to-height ratio of 500:1. Vertical heat transport is more important than horizontal heat transport, but the wind blows mainly in the horizontal direction because of the large width to height ratio. See similar questions...

If it's not for yourself, accompany your loved one going for their appointment. Make sure they've understood what was said, and that the audiologist's recommendations make sense. Offer your loved one plenty of encouragement and support all the way through, from initial consultation through the follow-up and adjustment period. See similar questions...

There is no real way to get more gain out of a single Boostaroo Amplifier. We do sell a higher gain amplifier model that is twice as powerful as the Original Boostaroo. It's called, The Boostaroo Revolution Optionally, you can also daisy chain one or two Boostaroo Amplifiers together. This will provide you with a significant volume increase.

Weight change is usually minimal (body fat composition increases in the breast and hips sometimes - adding curves). Appetite may be increased during the first few months of pill use. To prevent weight gain, decrease fats and increase fruits and vegetables in your diet and exercise regularly. ^ Contraceptive FAQ | ^ Top See similar questions...

This refers to the sensitivity of the gyro. When the gyro senses an unwanted movement it commands the tail servo to move in the opposite direction to compensate. How much it tells the servo to move is the 'gain'. Ideally the amount of gain should match how much the helicopter was rotated so that it stays pointed in the same direction and does not move. If the gain is too high then the helicopter over compensates. The effect you will see is the tail will bounce back and forth. See similar questions...

This means the gain can be adjusted in the radio. A non-remote gain capable gyro has a control on it that you use a screw driver to turn for more or less gain. A remote gain capable gyro has an extra plug that goes to the gear channel. With this type you can use the gyro menu in the radio to adjust the gain. If it's an older or cheaper radio that does not have a gyro menu, then you can use the gear ATV to adjust the gain. See similar questions...

Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness. It occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature: the body’s temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. Body temperature may rise to 106°F or higher within 10 to 15 minutes. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not provided. See similar questions...

There is an excellent wood stove with a not-so-excellent chimney. The problem was that the chimney had a good sized crack in it, which we repaired with aluminum foil! The wood supply is excellent too—lots of driftwood. Another problem is that a million wasps come out inside the house as soon as you light the stove and warm the house a bit.

Government records about U.S. citizens and residents is protected by the Privacy Act of 1974; as a result, the U.S. Embassy generally cannot help locate a person living in the United States. There are, however, public sources of information. You may want to try searching for your friend or relative via the Internet on a Web site such as Infobel.com. You may also wish to contact the Costa Rican Embassy in the U.S. See similar questions...
