Numerical scoring system developed by Friedenwald, Hughes and Herrmann for the evaluation of primary irritants using the rabbit's eye(for the toxicologic appraisal of a given compound). Table 6 : Scale of weighted scores for grading the severity of ocular lesions : I. Cornea : A. Opacity... B. Area involved.... Total maximum score=80. II. Iris :... Total possible maximum=10. III. Conjunctivae :... Total maximum=20. The maximum total score(110) is the sum of all scores obtained for the cornea, iris and conjunctivae. NB : A test score may result in a fraction [as shown in the above example 67. 7/110] because of the fact that it represents the average of all the animals in the test group. 3, record 2, English, - irritation%20score

Integral transport methods. The integral transport methods construct an expression for the angular flux at a given location by integrating over all external and scattering sources that could contribute, taking in account the probability of the source neutral reaching the given location without a collision. The collision probability method result from partitioning the domain of the problem into a large number of finite size regions and formulating the equation to calculate the average value of the neutral flux in each region. Like the Monte Carlo method, the result of collision probability method can be very accurate. This method has been successfully implemented for neutral propagating in 3D rectangular grids. Since the collision probability method is based on a global particle balance, the neutral flux at a given region is coupled to the neutral scalar flux of any other regions via collision probabilities which must be calculated by multi-dimensional numerical integration involving expensive evaluation of Bickley functions. 3, record 4, English, - collision%20probability%20method

Research is aimed at a NOx Emission Index of 5, resulting in less than 1% annual ozone depletion. ... From a technical standpoint, these critical emission levels depend on the engines’ injection and combustion system performance, i.e. the quality of the air/fuel mixture, its distribution in the combustor primary zone and the corresponding temperatures.

Le terme «indice» désigne une indication numérique qui sert à exprimer un rapport. Ne pas confondre avec «taux d'émission» ni avec «débit d'émission». Le terme «taux» désigne une proportion dans laquelle intervient un élément, un facteur variable, une quantité de quelque chose par rapport à une quantité d'autre chose (par exemple, on parle d'un taux d'émission de CO2 de x nombre de grammes par kilomètre pour une voiture). Le terme «débit» se rapporte à la quantité d'un polluant émis dans l'atmosphère par unité de temps. Enfin, voir aussi «facteur d'émission». 2, record 6, French, - indice%20d%27%C3%A9mission

A variation(of pocket billiards) similar to fifteen ball with the number of points for each ball equal to the number of the ball and with 61 points needed to win. In rotation, the balls must be played in rotation-in numerical order starting with the lowest numbered ball on the table. Any balls pocketed as a result of or subsequent to contact with the proper object balls are credited to the player, even if the first object ball is not pocketed. Failure to first contact the proper object ball, however, constitutes a miss and ends the player's inning.
