  2. DISC assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DISC_assessment

    DISC assessment. DISC assessments are behavioral self-assessment tools based on psychologist William Moulton Marston's DISC emotional and behavioral theory, first published in 1928. [1] These assessments aim to improve job performance by categorizing individuals into four personality traits: dominance, inducement, submission, and compliance.

  3. Antibiotic sensitivity testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_sensitivity_testing

    Thin paper discs containing an antibiotic have been placed on an agar plate growing bacteria. Bacteria are not able to grow around antibiotics to which they are sensitive. This is called "the zone of inhibition". Antibiotic sensitivity testing or antibiotic susceptibility testing is the measurement of the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics.

  4. Galactic disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_disc

    A galactic disc (or galactic disk) is a component of disc galaxies, such as spiral galaxies like the Milky Way and lenticular galaxies. Galactic discs consist of a stellar component (composed of most of the galaxy's stars) and a gaseous component (mostly composed of cool gas and dust). The stellar population of galactic discs tend to exhibit ...

  5. Lunar limb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_limb

    Lunar limb. Two contrasting lightnesses of the lunar disc at crescent phase, overexposed to show earthshine. Across the Moon, the lunar terminator is visible, the borderline between the Moon's day and night; the lunar limb is the Moon's profile against the dark sky, top right in this picture. The lunar limb is the edge of the visible surface ...

  6. Airy disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airy_disk

    Airy disk captured by 2000 mm camera lens at f/25 aperture. Image size: 1×1 mm. In optics, the Airy disk (or Airy disc) and Airy pattern are descriptions of the best- focused spot of light that a perfect lens with a circular aperture can make, limited by the diffraction of light. The Airy disk is of importance in physics, optics, and astronomy.

  7. Domestic international sales corporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_international...

    The domestic international sales corporation is a concept unique to tax law in the United States. In 1971, the U.S. Congress voted to use U.S. tax law to subsidize exports of U.S.-made goods. The initial mechanism was through a Domestic International Sales Corporation (DISC), an entity with no substance which received tax benefits.

  8. Point spread function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_spread_function

    A point source as imaged by a system with negative (top), zero (center), and positive (bottom) spherical aberration. Images to the left are defocused toward the inside, images on the right toward the outside. The point spread function (PSF) describes the response of a focused optical imaging system to a point source or point object.

  9. Disk diffusion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_diffusion_test

    The disk diffusion test (also known as the agar diffusion test, Kirby–Bauer test, disc-diffusion antibiotic susceptibility test, disc-diffusion antibiotic sensitivity test and KB test) is a culture -based microbiology assay used in diagnostic and drug discovery laboratories. In diagnostic labs, the assay is used to determine the ...
