In the Irvine-Park falling needle viscometer (FNV) (194), the moving body is a needle. A small-diameter glass or stainless steel needle falls vertically in a fluid. The viscous properties and density of the fluid are derived from the velocity of the needle. The technique is simple and useflil for measuring low (down to lO " ) shear viscosities. The FNV-100 is a manual instmment designed for the measurement of transparent Newtonian and non-Newtonian... 

Accuracy of Pyrometers Most of the temperature estimation methods for pyrometers assume that the objec t is either a grey body or has known emissivity values. The emissivity of the nonblack body depends on the internal state or the surface geometry of the objects. Also, the medium through which the therm radiation passes is not always transparent. These inherent uncertainties of the emissivity values make the accurate estimation of the temperature of the target objects difficult. Proper selection of the pyrometer and accurate emissivity values can provide a high level of accuracy. 

Capsilgels are transparent hard capsules containing silicagel. The capsule is made from hard gelatine. It consists of two cylindrical parts, a body with a hemispherical... 

Vision is vital for human activities, and eyes are very sensitive to a number of toxic insults induced by chemical compounds. The most serious outcome is permanent eye damage which may be so severe as to cause loss of vision. The eye consists of the cornea and conjunctiva, the choroid, the iris, and the ciliary body. It also contains the retina, which is of neural origin, and the optic nerve. The retina contains photoreceptors, a highly specific light-sensitive type of neural tissue. The eye also contains the lens and a small cerebrospinal fluid system, the aqueous humor system, that is important for the maintenance of the steady state of hydration of the lens and thus the transparency of the eye. 

Figure 1 Schematic drawing of the morphology of the ribosome. The ribosomal subunits are labeled, as are the approximate locations of their respective functional centers. The drawing is a transparent view from the solvent side of the small subunit. Transfer RNAs are shown in different binding states with the arrow indicating their direction of movement through the ribosome. The tRNA anticodon ends are oriented towards the viewer, whereas the 3-ends of the tRNAs are oriented towards the peptidyl transferase region on the large subunit. The letters h and b denote the head and body regions on the 30S subunit, respectively.

The intensity of a flare is largely determined by its temp, which in turn depends on the stability of the reaction products. In order to generate grey body radiation which encompasses the spectral sensitivity of the human eye (0.4— 0.74pm), 3000°K should be exceeded. Whereas this is possible using nitrates and perchlorates with alkaline earth metals as well as Zr, Ti and Hf (Ref 34) (H, C, B, Si and P form oxides which dissociate at high temps), in practice Mg and A1 are found to be best in terms of heat output, cost, and transparency to visible radiation... 

There are four principal processes that may be used to manufacture the glass body that is drawn into today s optical fiber. "Outside" processes—outside vapor-phase oxidation and vertical axial deposition— produce layered deposits, of doped silica by varying the concentration of SiCl4 and dopants passing through a torch. The resulting "soot" of doped silica is deposited and partially sintered to form a porous silica boule. Next, the boule is sintered to a pore-free glass rod of exquisite purity and transparency. 

Accountability and transparency involve conducting the business of government in such a way that it is open to the scrutiny of supervisory bodies and the public. In addition, government procedures and the criteria for decision-making must be clearly defined and available to all. 

Accountability and transparency have several aspects reporting to and control by supervisory bodies clarity and openness of procedures criteria for decision-making and decisions made and existence of systems for complaint and appeal. Accountability and transparency can be evaluated by examining, in particular reporting requirements, external reviews of the authority s performance frequency of publications and content of website (and other means of communication between the DRA, the public and the regulated parties) bodies to which complaints are directed and appeals procedures. However, the individual details of these elements of regulation make quantitative comparison difficult. 

Alchemy implied, in sensation itself, a peaceful and detached love of the world. For the world of alchemy, like that of the "mythological" traditions whose heritage it transmitted, was a world at once living and transparent, a great a sacred body, an immense Anthropos in all respects resembling the small one. Nature, it could be said, was at once the body of God and the body of man. Everywhere was life, everywhere soul, everywhere the holy breath of God... 

The term protoplasm is used to indicate the thick viscous semifluid or almost jelly-like colorless, transparent material which makes up the essential substance of both the cell body and the nucleus, including the cytoplasmic membrane but not the cell wall. It contains a high percentage of water and holds fine granules in suspension. 

What can one do to image specific soft tissues using X-rays One must enhance the density of these regions to decrease the ability to transmit X-rays through the region. To aid in the creation of such images or CAT scans, contrast media are often ingested or injected into the body. Contrast medium fluids that are opaque (i.e., not transparent) to X-rays are known as radiopaque media. These...

Where die connection between a vitamin and a disease is less transparent, a wide field remains open for the discovery of meaningful correlations between vitamin content of body fluids and tissues and physiologic or pathologic events. 

The ability to relax at will is essential for occult work. All meditations should be preceded by relaxation. At first, it may take some time, but practice will increase your skill. Relaxation makes your body a clear channel, transparent to the in-flowing light, and so enabling energy to flow unimpeded. When seated in the meditation posture, focus first upon your feet. Tense the muscles of both feet for about four seconds, then allow them to relax.
