Warning defined

Inhalation. The threshold limit value of HCN is 4.7 ppm. This is defined as the maximum average safe exposure limit for a 15-min period by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Exposure to 20 ppm of HCN in air causes slight warning symptoms after several hours 50 ppm causes disturbances within an hour 100 ppm is dangerous for exposures of 30 to 60 min and 300 ppm can be rapidly fatal unless prompt, effective first aid is adininistered. There is always a small concentration of cyanide (0.02 to 0.04 mg/L) in the blood, and the body has a mechanism for continuous removal of small amounts, such as from smoking, by converting it to thiocyanate, which is discharged in the urine. 

The atoms of a protein s structure are usually defined by four parameters, three coordinates that give their position in space and one quantity, B, which is called the temperature factor. For well refined, correct structures these B-values are of the order of 20 or less. High B-values, 40 or above, in a local region can be due to flexibility or slight disorder, but also serve as a warning that the model of this region may be incorrect. 

Wildlife indicators can establish baseline conditions, act as early warning signals of environmental problems, identify the extent of contamination, define critical pathways and responses at multiple trophic levels, as well as integrate biological exposure with the physical and chemical environment (Farrington 1991). Indicator selection is based on a combination of criteria or characteristics that include (Jenkins 1981) ... 

The exact role of rituximab in RA is not clearly defined, but it is indicated for patients with moderate to severe RA with a history of inadequate response to DMARDs and other BRMs. Rituximab carries a black-box warning of fatal infusion reactions and severe mucocutaneous reactions even though these events did not occur during the RA clinical trials. The benefits of rituximab must be tempered against the safety concerns reported with use of rituximab in the oncology setting. 

Furthermore, it is seen from Bq. (9) that any relation involving the cosine of an included angle may be written in terms of the scalar product of the vectors which define it. Finally, the reader is warned that a relation such as A B = A C does not imply that B = C, as... 

Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) Similar to Biosafety Level 1 and is suitable for work involving agents of moderate potential hazard to personnel and the environment. Required practices are BSL-1 practices plus limited access, biohazard warning signs, sharps precautions, and a biosafety manual defining any needed waste decontamination or medical surveillance policies. 

We can see why a compound with chiral centres should end up optically inactive by looking again at the eclipsed conformer. The molecule itself has a plane of symmetry, and because of this symmetry the optical activity conferred by one chiral centre is equal and opposite to that conferred by the other and, therefore, is cancelled out. It has the characteristics of a racemic mixture, but as an intramolecular phenomenon. A meso compound is defined as one that has chiral centres but is itself achiral. Note that numbering is a problem in tartaric acid because of the symmetry, and that positions 2 and 3 depend on which carboxyl is numbered as C-1. It can be seen that (2R,3S) could easily have been (3R,2S) if we had numbered from the other end, a warning sign that there is something unusual about this isomer.

As evidence, Wosinska reported that past television DTCA spending by Lipitor, but not more recent current DTCA Lipitor spending, had reduced adherence. Because past advertising was defined as the level of expenditure in 30 to 60 days prior to the prescription, her findings are consistent with a side-effects hypothesis if patients react to the side-effect warnings with a temporary suspension of therapy of at least a few days, then the level of advertising in the prior (rather than the current) month would have had an impact on adherence.
