CONT

DNase Agar. DM132 A medium for the presumptive identification of pathogenic staphylococci by demonstration of DNase production.

CONT

Deoxyribonuclease(DNAse) agar actually has DNA in it. Deoxyribonuclease is an exoenzyme excreted from the cell which will break the DNA down into smaller molecules. There are 2 kinds of DNAse agar that can be used. 1) The first medium has no indicator, but is does require HCl(hydrochloric acid) reagent to be added after growth has occurred on the plate. Without DNAse enzyme, the HCl precipitates out the undestroyed DNA. The rest of the agar with the remaining DNA, which binds to HCl will have turned cloudy. Around the growth area, if the bacterium has made DNAse and destroyed the DNA, there will be clear zones seen. 2) DNAse agar with the indicator methyl green can be used. In this medium, when the DNA in the medium is hydrolyzed by the bacterial DNAse enzyme, the pieces of cut DNA release from binding to methyl green, and you will see a yellowish/orange zone around the growth area. OBJECTIVE : To identify the presence of the DNAse enzyme.

PHR

DNase agar with (w/) toluidine blue, methyl green.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Maneuvers

CONT

As the aircraft nears the OMNI station,(½ mile) the zone of confusion will direct an "S" turn in alternate directions as the OMNI indicator needle swings. This alternate banking, is an indication that station passage is imminent.

CONT

La distance totale de vol suivant le début de la descente est ajustée selon les instructions du CTA qui maintient la distance requise entre tous les avions en approche finale. Pour ce faire, les avions doivent être dirigés pour se tourner vers le LOC (extension de la ligne centrale de la piste) à différentes distances de la piste. Ceci peut entraîner un certain nombre de manœuvres comme un virage ou un double virage en S, pour retarder l'opération si nécessaire.

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

[The] rising of the water level or piezometric surface in and around a pumped well after stoppage of pumping [or the] rising movement of the water table or the piezometric surface caused by recharge following upon a period of depletion.

CONT

... groundwater pumping will continue to be conducted in an environmentally conservative manner as was done during the 1990-91 and 1991-92 runoff years until there has been a substantial recovery in soil moisture and water table conditions in areas of Types B, C, and D vegetation that have been affected by groundwater pumping. The Standing Committee will establish annual pumping programs based on an evaluation of current conditions, including soil moisture level, water table depth, degree of water table recovery, soil type, vegetation conditions, the results of studies pertaining to vegetation recovery, and compliance with the goals of the Agreement.

CONT

The plant communities that we monitor require periodic connection to the groundwater for long-term survival and recovery from drought. Unfortunately, the on/off status often is not an accurate indicator of whether groundwater is reaching the plant root zone, but the rise of water above the water table due to capillarity is detected easily by the monitoring. Using the soil water and groundwater data, we determine which monitoring sites are connected with the water table and which still need water table recovery.

PHR

Recovery cycle.

  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Surveillance, Detection and Reconnaissance (Military)
CONT

MDV determines whether the majority of military traffic, which often moves very slowly, will be visible. To capture the majority of this traffic, a radar must have the ability to detect the lowest possible radial velocity. As a target's radial velocity approaches zero, the target will fall into the clutter or "blind zone. "The clutter spread is a function of a radar's antenna real bandwidth. When a target is in clutter, traditional MTI [moving target indicator] radars can either detect the target or locate it, but not both.
