Bioconcentration. In aquatic toxicology, bioconcentration is the accumulation of a water-borne chemical substance in an organism exposed to the water. [ 1][ 2] There are several ways in which to measure and assess bioaccumulation and bioconcentration. These include: octanol-water partition coefficients (K OW ), bioconcentration factors (BCF ...
Bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF), also referred to by the code numbers Halon 1211 and Freon 12B1, is a haloalkane with the chemical formula C F 2 Cl Br. It is used for fire suppression, especially for expensive equipment or items that could be damaged by the residue from other types of extinguishers. [ 1 ]
Accelerated life testing. Accelerated life testing is the process of testing a product by subjecting it to conditions ( stress, strain, temperatures, voltage, vibration rate, pressure etc.) in excess of its normal service parameters in an effort to uncover faults and potential modes of failure in a short amount of time. [ 1][ 2] By analyzing ...
High-temperature operating life. High-temperature operating life (HTOL) is a reliability test applied to integrated circuits (ICs) to determine their intrinsic reliability. This test stresses the IC at an elevated temperature, high voltage and dynamic operation for a predefined period of time. The IC is usually monitored under stress and tested ...
Tris (pentafluorophenyl)borane, sometimes referred to as "BCF", is the chemical compound (C6F5)3B. It is a white, volatile solid. The molecule consists of three pentafluorophenyl groups attached in a "paddle-wheel" manner to a central boron atom; the BC3 core is planar. It has been described as the “ideal Lewis acid ” because of its high ...
Survival function. The survival function is a function that gives the probability that a patient, device, or other object of interest will survive past a certain time. [ 1] The survival function is also known as the survivor function[ 2] or reliability function. [ 3] The term reliability function is common in engineering while the term survival ...
Rural communities of color across the US find new ways to get the health care they need. Haywood Park Community Hospital was the closest hospital for many in Brownsville, Tennessee, a rural city ...
The Larson–Miller model is used for experimental tests so that results at certain temperatures and stresses can predict rupture lives of time spans that would be impractical to reproduce in the laboratory. Expanding the equation as a Taylor series makes the relationship easier to understand. Only the first terms are kept.
