English

Subject field(s)
  • Dietetics
CONT

Weighted recommended nutrient intakes(WRNI) became part of the Food and Drug Regulations in 1996. They are considered to represent the nutritional needs of the total population because they are weighted according to the age and sex distribution of the Canadian population.

Domaine(s)
  • Diététique
CONT

Les apports nutritionnels recommandés pondérés (ANRP) ont été intégrés au Règlement sur les aliments et drogues en 1996. Ils sont considérés comme représentant les besoins nutritionnels de la population totale parce qu'ils sont pondérés en fonction de la répartition de la population canadienne selon l'âge et le sexe.

Subject field(s)
  • Toxicology
  • Visual Disorders
CONT

Response to Morpholine - Route: Eye - Species: Rabbit - Dose: 0.1 ml undiluted - Irritation score = 67.7/110.

OBS

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.

OBS

The above context was taken from an article by Draize et. al. in the December 1984 issue of the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, which is the basis for the cited irritation score. This article along with supplementary explanations on this concept were given to us by Evan D. Riehl, M.D., Medical Consultant at E.I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company, Newark, Delaware, USA.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Space Physics
  • Optics
  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

Quotient of the luminous flux incident on an infinitesimal element of a surface containing the point under consideration, by the area of that element.

CONT

Illuminance(usually ’E’ in formulas) is the total amount of visible light illuminating(incident upon) a point on a surface from all directions above the surface. This "surface" can be a physical surface or an imaginary plane. Therefore illuminance is equivalent to irradiance weighted with the response curve of the human eye.

OBS

Standard unit for illuminance is Lux (lx) which is lumens per square meter (lm/m²). There are several older units of illuminance: footcandle: 1 fc = 10.764 lx; phot: 1 ph = 10 000 lx. Typical illuminance values are: 1 lx = full moon; 10 lx = street lighting; 100-1 000 lx = workspace lighting; 10 000 lx = surgery lighting; 100 000 lx = plain sunshine.

OBS

"Illumination" is a deprecated term for "illuminance".

OBS

illuminance: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

Record 13 1998-02-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Loans
DEF

When calculating borrowings, the IBRD [International Bank for Reconstruction and Development] takes the amount of the loan, multiplies it by the interest rate, and obtains a total for the interest. All the loans are added and all the interest totals. The first sum is then divided by the second to obtain the weighted average interest. This is the single-weighted borrowing cost. Recently, the IBRD has obtained the interest total by multiplying the amount of the loan by the interest and the number of years to maturity, to take into account the fact that it has loans of varying maturities. The weighted averaged interest obtained from this calculation is called the double-weighted borrowing cost.
