A cancer slope factor gives the percent increase in the risk of getting cancer associated with a dose of a toxin(in mg [milligram] of toxin per kg [kilogram] of body weight) every day for a lifetime.... A risk assessor will apply cancer slope factors and unit risks to test results to calculate how many more cancer cases a population might be likely to see if that population had a lifetime of exposure to that amount of a toxin.... Cancer slope factors and unit risks are usually based on tests on laboratory animals.

Originally, some controversy centred around the classification of diplomatic representatives, particularly as regards matters of precedence and relative status. The attribution of the title of Ambassador, as distinct from Minister, to the head of a diplomatic mission depends on various factors, including the rank of the States concerned. Sometimes an embassy is a matter of tradition, as for example between France and Switzerland. Usually, however, now, the population and importance of the country of mission are the determining factor. There are none the less many cases of anomalies in the allocation of embassies, which reflect a lack of uniformity of practice. 1, record 10, English, - status%20of%20ambassador
