sound absorption factor | sound absorption coefficient

absorptance | a | absorption factor

internal absorptance

sound absorption coefficient [ SAC | acoustic absorption coefficient | acoustic absorption factor | acoustic absorptivity | absorption coefficient ]

differential absorption ratio

absorptance | absorption factor | absorption ratio

Definition: This category differs from others in that it includes disorders identifiable on the basis of not only symptoms and course but also the existence of one or other of two causative influences: an exceptionally stressful life event producing an acute stress reaction, or a significant life change leading to continued unpleasant circumstances that result in an adjustment disorder. Although less severe psychosocial stress ( life events ) may precipitate the onset or contribute to the presentation of a very wide range of disorders classified elsewhere in this chapter, its etiological importance is not always clear and in each case will be found to depend on individual, often idiosyncratic, vulnerability, i.e. the life events are neither ...[+++] necessary nor sufficient to explain the occurrence and form of the disorder. In contrast, the disorders brought together here are thought to arise always as a direct consequence of acute severe stress or continued trauma. The stressful events or the continuing unpleasant circumstances are the primary and overriding causal factor and the disorder would not have occurred without their impact. The disorders in this section can thus be regarded as maladaptive responses to severe or continued stress, in that they interfere with successful coping mechanisms and therefore lead to problems of social functioning.

absorptance [ absorption factor | absorption ratio ]

build-up factor for absorption into air

Such experiments should include: One, the full characterization of hormones in bio-active substances in milk from rBGH treated cows, including compounds such as prostaglandins, progesterone, prolactin, thyroid hormones, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, growth hormone releasing factor, basoactive intestinal peptide, epidermal growth factor, estrogens, plasmin, interlukins, tumour necrosis factor, insulin, IGF-1, IGF-2 and growth hormone; two, the feeding of milk from rBGH cows to neonatal primates to determine the effects on gastrointestinal tract development, absorption ...[+++] and function; and three, the effect of consumption of milk from rBGH treated cows on immune recognition and subsequent immune functions in the gut.

Some of these things are time-released, so how they develop that, integrate it into the product and the rate at which it is absorbed are factors.

The questions I have raised about the effect of temperature on the uptake of carbon dioxide in the oceans and the effect of temperature and precipitation on land productivity are now incorporated in this model — very crudely, but they are incorporated.

In those kinds of tests, do they calculate body weight, food intake, growth rates, the multiplication factor, the “soup mix”, as it has been referred to, of all of these herbicides taken together?
