Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a wood structural panel product. We are often asked to comment on popular opinions regarding any special sensitivity of OSB to water.

We have been studying the rocky shore ecology for over 15 years, and by being in the water at many places, over a thousand dives, have obtained a clear picture of what the real story is. We stand very strong in our assertions, which arise from intimate observations, while we saw it happen! It started with a study of the extent of the kelp death, and thus the dense plankton blooms that caused it. Should you be interested in more detail, read our discoveries in Seafriends/enviro/habitat/survey93. See similar questions...

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 21,000 people die annually from radon-induced lung cancer. Only smoking cigarettes causes more lung cancer cases. While EPA has estimated that radon is of more intense concern to some regions of the United States than others, it is not true that radon is of no concern in a residential property based solely on regional location.

This is a matter of personal taste and preference. I tend to like my tobaccos a little on the dry side, with about 11-12% moisture content, but others like their tobaccos much wetter. Tobacco is packaged in order to assure optimal keeping and aging qualities. The moisture content in the tin can be anywhere from 12-18% for natural tobaccos, and as high as 28-40% for some very heavily cased aromatics. This may not be optimal for smoking.

Real bandwidth efficiency in a demand-assigned (DAMA) satellite system is a complex matter; it depends not only on the physical-layer properties of the transmission scheme such as modulation and coding schemes and carrier spacing. Additional factors that must be taken into account include efficiency of use of the allocated capacity, efficiency of capacity scheduling (i.e., can the system actually allocate the available resources when demand exists) and responsiveness to changes in demand.

Yes, SgtSearch was created by Marines around 1997 as a metasearch tool. He was brought to life by a Sergeant in the Marine Corps, and was put on paper by another Marine friend of the founders. The rest is history. See similar questions...

Oriented Strand Board) OSB or Oriented Strand Board is a wood panel manufactured with strands of wood layered to increase strength and stability. The strands are coated with a special binder, arranged into layers, then bounded under extreme heat and pressure. Some OSB siding products have a thin paper layer laminated on the surface.

OSB is rated Exposure 1 for durability. Panels with this designation are intended for protected construction uses not permanently exposed to the weather, intended to resist moisture due to construction delays, or other conditions of similar severity. In order to be marked Exposure 1 OSB panels must meet specific (i.e. moisture cycling) bond requirements. See similar questions...

Cedar shakes and shingles have only been tested on plywood decking. Make sure you use a very good quality hot dipped galvanized or stainless nails that are ring shanked to hold the roof to the OSB and check with your local Building Official to see if this type of application is permitted.

Yes, it's for real and it happens all the time, but rather randomly. It's not generally structured or monitored, and no, chances are you won't trust your instincts well enough to know what to do. There is no guarantee that your pet will come back to you if they are uncertain about things. Princess may not even know what to do, whether the time is right for you, whether you still want her, what effects seeing her old toys may have on her, etc. See similar questions...

The Establishment knows that evidence is piling up for the Bell Curve theory that they've denounced so vociferously for so long. So they are just trying to postpone the day of reckoning on which it becomes widely understood that they are fools, liars, and smear-artists by silencing anyone like Watson who speaks up. The frenzy will only increase as the genome data comes flooding in. See similar questions...

Ambient" refers, in general, to the "air temperature" of an area. You can only change it by up to the (10 degrees times Corporeal Forces) maximum. Things in the area heat up or cool down depending on the difference between their current temperature and the ambient temperature. E.g., You have a pitcher of water in an area and the ambient temperature is raised 40 degrees. Eventually the water will heat up to the "room temperature. See similar questions...

This is a question of specific interest to those of you who have followed up the game magazines over the last years.

Fiction has always been my interest, although I have read most of John Douglas's and Roy Hazelwood's works dealing with their interviews with serial killers, the investigation of real murder cases and the concept of profiling. Outside of that, I have read very little non-fiction. I enjoy the creativity of fiction a lot more I guess. I do have an idea that I've been kicking around for a number of years regarding a piece of historical fiction, but that's as probably as close as I'll get. See similar questions...
