  2. General Schedule (US civil service pay scale) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Schedule_(US_civil...

    The traditional "entry level" grade within DCAA is the GS-7 level (some employees come in either at the lower GS-5 level or higher GS-9 or GS-11 levels) and the "career ladder" is GS-7 to GS-9 to GS-11 and finally to GS-12, with the employee expected to advance between grades after one year and if hired as a GS-7, to reach the GS-12 level after ...

  3. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    If a g-force (acceleration) is vertically upward and is applied by the ground (which is accelerating through space-time) or applied by the floor of an elevator to a standing person, most of the body experiences compressive stress which at any height, if multiplied by the area, is the related mechanical force, which is the product of the g-force ...

  4. European Union energy label - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_energy_label

    For refrigerating appliances, such as refrigerators, freezers, wine-storage appliances, and combined appliances, the labelling is specified in terms of an energy efficiency index EEI, which is an indication of the annual power consumption relative to a reference consumption that is based on the storage volume and the type of appliance (refrigerator or freezer).

    G (Good) S (Satisfactory) N (Needs improvement) U (Unsatisfactory) H (High pass) I (Incomplete) This system has largely been replaced by the six-point system discussed above, but is still encountered at the elementary school level, particularly in kindergarten and Grades 1 through 3 (these levels comprising the lower division of primary school).

  6. Anion gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anion_gap

    In the largest study published to date, featuring over 12,000 data sets, Figge, Bellomo and Egi [18] demonstrated that the anion gap, when used to detect critical levels of lactate (greater than 4 mEq/L), exhibited a sensitivity of only 70.4%. In contrast, the albumin-corrected anion gap demonstrated a sensitivity of 93.0%.

  7. High-g training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-G_training

    The 20 g centrifuge at the NASA Ames Research Center. High-g training is done by aviators and astronauts who are subject to high levels of acceleration ('g'). It is designed to prevent a g-induced loss of consciousness (g-LOC), a situation when the action of g-forces moves the blood away from the brain to the extent that consciousness is lost.

  8. A-level (United Kingdom) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-level_(United_Kingdom)

    The O grade was equivalent to a GCE Ordinary Level pass which indicated a performance equivalent to the lowest pass grade at Ordinary Level.. Over time, the validity of this system was questioned because, rather than reflecting a standard, norm referencing simply maintained a specific proportion of candidates at each grade, which in small cohorts was subject to statistical fluctuations in ...
