  2. Nephelometry (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephelometry_(medicine)

    Nephelometry is a technique used in immunology to determine the levels of several blood plasma proteins. For example, the total levels of antibodies isotypes or classes: Immunoglobulin M, Immunoglobulin G, and Immunoglobulin A. [1]

  3. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    The atomic time relates to the orbital period of a ground state electron around a hydrogen atom and is about 24.2 attoseconds. The svedberg is a time unit used for sedimentation rates (usually of proteins). It is defined as 10 −13 seconds (100 fs). The TU (for time unit) is a unit of time defined as 1024 μs for use in engineering.

  4. Nephelometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephelometer

    A nephelometer [1] or aerosol photometer [2] is an instrument for measuring the concentration of suspended particulates in a liquid or gas colloid. A nephelometer measures suspended particulates by employing a light beam (source beam) and a light detector set to one side (often 90°) of the source beam.

    the nephelometer: an instrument for estimating the number of bacteria in suspensions used for calculating the opsonic index and for vaccines. joseph mcfarland, m.d. jama. 1907; xlix(14):1176-1178.

  6. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    In an increasing system, the time constant is the time for the system's step response to reach 1 − 1 / e ≈ 63.2% of its final (asymptotic) value (say from a step increase). In radioactive decay the time constant is related to the decay constant ( λ ), and it represents both the mean lifetime of a decaying system (such as an atom) before it ...

  7. Return period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_period

    The theoretical return period between occurrences is the inverse of the average frequency of occurrence. For example, a 10-year flood has a 1/10 = 0.1 or 10% chance of being exceeded in any one year and a 50-year flood has a 0.02 or 2% chance of being exceeded in any one year.

  8. Time of concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_concentration

    It is defined as the time needed for water to flow from the most remote point in a watershed to the watershed outlet. [1] It is a function of the topography, geology, and land use within the watershed. A number of methods can be used to calculate time of concentration, including the Kirpich (1940) [2] and NRCS (1997) [3] methods.
