Industry approaches to estimating fire loss generally fall into two key areas ... 

Animal studies have shown that oral exposure to FireMaster PBB causes a wasting syndrome characterized by progressive decreased weight gain, with immediate moderate to severe body weight loss generally preceding death." ... 

The optimum characteristic impedance is dictated by a combination of factors. Interconnections with low characteristic impedance (<40 fl) cause high power dissipation and delay in driver circuits, increased switching noise, and reduced receiver noise tolerance (35). High characteristic impedance causes increased coupling noise and usually has higher loss. Generally, a characteristic impedance of 50-100 fl is optimal for most systems (35), and a ZQ of 50 fl has become standard for a variety of cables, connectors, and PWBs. For a polyimide dielectric with er = 3.5, a 50-fl stripline can be obtained with b = 50 xm, tv = 25 xm, and t = 5 xm. 

The amounts of chloride versus acetate salt forms chosen for cation delivery should be based on assessment of the acid-base balance of the patient and sources of G1 losses. More proximal G1 losses generally are associated with increased chloride needs and more dis-... 

The termination of hostilities provided the opportunity, as it did for so many other experimental practices, to assess just how effective camouflage methods had been. Much energy and time had been expended on developing techniques, the worth of which could now be either confirmed or refuted by evaluation of the numbers of ships they had saved. That losses generally had declined in the later stages of World War 1 was obvious but, as stated earlier, numerous other factors inlluenced this improvement.

Solvents suitable for elution of chromatographically separated radioactive compounds can be ascertained by chromatographing the substances in solvents of various polarities those which carry a substance with the solvent front, are appropriate for elution. The adsorbent is scraped off the plate and digested with several portions of the solvent. The clear solution is decanted and filtered through a small sintered glass funnel. Losses generally ensue from the use of filter paper. 

Nausea and vomiting first day of exposure, up to a 2-week latent period followed by appetite loss, general malaise, sore throat, pallor, diarrhea, and moderate emaciation. Recovery in about 3 months unless complicated by infection or injury. 

Theoretically, the lifetime of an ES is unlimited because no final event indicates that it is dead. However, the continuous charging and discharging of an ES at a constant current can actually result in exponential decay of the capacitance, leading to an increase in internal resistance. The end of an ES life cycle is defined as maximum acceptable loss in relative capacitance. The life cycle of an ES (Figure 5.1) details the initial dramatic loss generally found in all cycle testing, a steady linear decline in relative capacitance over time. 

Persistentsepal yellowcress Rorippa columbiae) Known to have a scattered distribution because of specialized habitat requirements or habitat loss generally occurs in moist to marshy places and is known to inhabit the wetted shoreline of the Hanford Reach of the Columbia River in Benton County. 

Functional foods and materials that improve fat metabolism have been extensively studied. Diets for weight loss generally recommend restricting intakes of energy, total fats, and saturated fats. In contrast, we have focused on the nature of the glycerol esters rather than on the fatty acid composition of oils, and have found that DAG, particularly in the 1,3-isoform, have metabolic characteristics distinct from those of TAG and are less likely to become stored body fat. A cooking oil product containing at least 80% (w/w) DAG has been on the market in Japan as a food for specified health use (FOSHU) since 1999. In this chapter, the nutritional characteristics and beneficial health effects of DAG observed in several clinical studies are outlined and possible mechanisms for these effects are discussed.
