Water Resistant is a common mark stamped on the back of wrist watches to indicate how well a watch is sealed against the ingress of water. It is usually accompanied by an indication of the static test pressure that a sample of newly manufactured watches were exposed to in a leakage test.
Similarly, in an analysis of the resistome in a water treatment plant, plasmids and other protein-coding mobile genetic elements were present at all levels of filtration, and these mobile elements harbored genes for resistance. [5] These soil and water-based resistant communities are known as reservoirs, from which resistance can transfer to ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR or AR) occurs when microbes evolve mechanisms that protect them from antimicrobials, which are drugs used to treat infections. [2] This resistance affects all classes of microbes, including bacteria (antibiotic resistance), viruses (antiviral resistance), parasites (antiparasitic resistance), and fungi (antifungal ...
Waterproof (or water-resistant) describes objects unaffected by water or resisting water passage, or which are covered with a material that resists or does not allow water passage. In horology, the waterproofness of a watch is defined by its resistance under pressure.

In the U.S., the more abuse-resistant Suboxone dominates the market, making it the most widely prescribed of the medically assisted treatments for opioid addiction. Neither Suboxone nor methadone is a miracle cure. They buy addicts time to fix their lives, seek out counseling and allow their brains to heal.
The watches are tested in static or still water under 125% of the rated (water) pressure, thus a watch with a 200-metre rating will be water-resistant if it is stationary and under 250 metres of static water. The testing of the water-resistance is fundamentally different from non-dive watches, because every watch has to be fully tested.
