Signs conspicuity

Signs Conspicuous bumpy swellings on the pod surfaces progressing to a tan discoloration. Eventually the entire pod is covered by the fungus. [Pg.610]

Scialfa, C.T., Ho, G., Caird, J., and Graw, T. 1999. Traffic sign conspicuity The effects of clutter, luminance, and age. Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Houston, Texas. [Pg.322]

Entrances to rooms and other guarded locations containing exposed li e parts must be locked and imirked with conspicuous warning signs forbidding unqualified persons to enter. [Pg.190]

An additional cause of weakness may be involvement of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, which is very conspicuous in infantile acid maltase deficiency. All three glycogenoses causing weakness are in fact due to generalized enzyme defects, but histological signs of denervation are not evident. [Pg.703]

On the other hand, cellular membranes are composed of chiral molecules such as phospholipids and cholesterol, but the homochirality of these constituents is not obviously manifested in the membrane s structure. However, in certain cases biological membranes exhibit a distinct helical or twisted structure, which is a very conspicuous sign of the chirality of the supramolec-ular aggregate. These chiral supramolecular aggregates are the subject of this chapter. [Pg.282]

Short-term preservation (several weeks) can usually be successfully accomplished by generous application of polyethylene plastic wrap and duct-tape. Be careful in applying the tape to avoid direct contact with the items. The adhesive can be left behind on the part and when removed, can take with it important dust, fibers, or other data. Even short-term preservation requires some control of access, chain of custody documentation and conspicuously posted signs. Many workers are genuinely curious to learn and see for themselves what the damaged or essential part actually looks like, and may unintentionally cause changes. [Pg.164]

We five in the age of quality. Quality is measured, analyzed, and discussed. The simplest product and the most trivial service come from quality-assured organizations. Conspicuously embracing quality is the standard of the age. Even university faculty are now subject to quality audits of their teaching. Some of these new-found enthusiasms may be more appropriate than others, but I have no doubt that proper attention to quality is vital for analytical chemistry. Analytical measurements affect every facet of our modern, first-world fives. Health, food, forensics, and general trade require measurements that often involve chemical analysis, which must be accurately conducted for informed decisions to be made. A sign of improvement in developing countries is often a nation s ability to measure important aspects of the lives of its citizens, such as cleanliness of water and food. [Pg.4]

As shown by measurement of root and hypocotyl elongation, the treatment with the RO fraction did not prevent the initial absorption of water by the seed, which is essentially a passive process. However, it effectively inhibited the ensuing expansion of these organs, which results from a combination of cell expansion and cell division. As late as 46 h after seed imbibition, no sign of cell division was visible in roots from seeds treated with 1 8- and 1 10-diluted RO fraction, and only occasional divisions, mainly in the procambial area, were observed after treatment at 1 14 dilution. By contrast, control roots resumed active cell division within 16 h after imbibition. As a conspicuous consequence of the inhibition of cell expansion/division activity, the apex of roots from treated seeds appeared distinctly... [Pg.308]

A 50-year-old man developed recurrent sharp lower abdominal pain and nausea, having taken modified-release nicotinic acid 500-2000 mg/day for 8 weeks for hypercholesterolemia. He had a low-grade fever, tachycardia, and hypotension. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a markedly hypoechoic liver of normal size, with relatively echogenic conspicuous portal triads. Aspartate transaminase activity and prothrombin time were raised. Nicotinic acid was withdrawn and the signs and symptoms resolved within several days. [Pg.2514]

Persistent vomiting is the cardinal sign, but abdominal distension may not be a conspicuous feature. The vomiting is bile-stained when the obstruction is below the ampulla of Vater (70% of cases), and clear but persistent in supra-ampullary lesions. [Pg.4]

A manufacturer can notify its employees of any known risks associated with the R D chemical by using labels on the containers holding the R D chemical, conspicuous signs, written notices to each R D employee, or any other written notice that adequately advises of the health risks. As a practical matter, it is advisable to use container labeling, conspicuous signs, or written notices to each R D employee because these communication methods are explicitly listed in the regulations and the manufacturer will have the burden of proving that an alternative method is adequate. [Pg.150]

The licenseemustposteach areaorroom in which an amount of licensed material more than 10 times the quantity specified in Appendix C to 10 CFR Part 20 is used or stored with a conspicuous sign or signs bearing the radiation symbol and the words CAUTION, RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS or DANGER, RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS. [Pg.536]

A Radiation Area within a restricted area is an area accessible to personnel where radiation exists (according to the legaldefinition)arising in whole orin part fromlicensed material at such levels that a major portion of the body could receive a dose of 5 mrem (0.05 mSv) in 1 hour, or in excess of 100 mrem (1 mSv) in 5 consecutive days. A Radiation Area must be conspicuously posted with one or more signs bearing the radiation symbol and the words... [Pg.541]
