    Category: Medicine

  • durability: a) the capacity of wood to last, i.e. to perform its functions, in service, with particular reference to decay (when termed decay resistance) rather than animal attack (e.g. termite resistance, Teredo resistance) or resistance to weathering. May be directly related to exposure; b) (gluing) the ability of an adhesive to maintain an adequate bond under the conditions of service that the joint has to withstand
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • durability: a measure of the resistance of a material to wear and physico-chemical change under specified conditions of use and/or storage
    Category: Standards, measures and testing

  • durability: resistance of lining to weathering,chemical attack and wearing
    Category: Building industry

  • durability: retention of the properties inherent in warmed-up clay.Durability is determined by the temperature that brings about the loss of the water of constitution.The clay-regenerating content of a sand is hence directly related to durability
    Category: Iron and steel industries

  • durable: Any type of finish reasonably resistant to normal usage,washing,and/or dry-cleaning.
    Category: Various industries and crafts

  • durable: any consumer goods which have an anticipated useful life and which are intended to be used over a period of time rather than immediately consumed

  • durable: any goods consumed by the households which have an anticipated useful life and which are intended to be used over a period of time rather than immediately consumed
    Category: Commerce - movement of goods

  • dural: a structural alloy of aluminium with 3-5 per cent of copper and small amounts of magnesium (0.2-0.75 per cent) and manganese (0.4-1 per cent),used for airplane parts and in other structural constructions; aluminium-copper-magnesium-manganese alloy
    Category: Building industry

  • duralumin: a structural alloy of aluminium with 3-5 per cent of copper and small amounts of magnesium (0.2-0.75 per cent) and manganese (0.4-1 per cent),used for airplane parts and in other structural constructions; aluminium-copper-magnesium-manganese alloy
    Category: Building industry

  • duration: the weighted average maturity of all cash flows(inclusive of principal repayments)resulting from an investment or category of investments,the weighting to be given to each cash flow being the relative contribution of its present value to the total current market value of such investment or category of investments
    Category: Financial affairs - taxation - customs

  • duration: In wave forecasting,the length of time the wind blows in essentially the same direction over the fetch(generating area)
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • duration: the number of weeks in which payments were received by an individual(actual),or qualified for(potential),for each program.Average duration is defined as the number of weeks paid per program in a 12-month period,divided by the number of first payments received in that program during that period
    Category: Statistics

  • duration: a measure of the timing of the cash flows to be received from a security
    Category: Financial affairs - taxation - customs

  • duration: the time which must elapse before the amount of a security becomes due for payment
    Category: Commerce - movement of goods

  • endurance: number of cycles to failure under given conditions,generally stated as decimal fraction or multiples of 10**6.The criterion of failure is either the occurrence of a visible fatigue crack or complete failure.Plastic deformation may also be adopted to determine the end of the test
    Category: Iron and steel industries

  • endurance: the capacity of a material to withstand a fatigue test
    Category: Technical and industry in general

  • endurance: the length of time that an aircraft can remain in flight without refuelling. Maximum -- is obtained under the conditions when least power is required for forizontal flight.
    Category: Transport

  • honduran: inhabitant of Honduras
    Category: The cosmos

  • long-duration: a type of live loading applied over a long period
    Category: Mechanical engineering

  • non-durable: those goods consumed by households which are subject to death,destruction,or especially rapid decay or deterioration(as of foodstuffs)e.g.-such as diary products,meats and fruits
    Category: Commerce - movement of goods

  • non-procedural: very high level programming language that allows the user to express the solution to a problem in a form other than an explicit algorithm
    Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

  • procedural: a somewhat vague phrase denoting bias in a sampling inquiry attributable to the procedure followed in obtaining the information,as distinct from bias due to the use of inferior methods of estimation on the data when obtained
    Category: Statistics

  • procedural: information about courses of action; knowledge about what to do in a specific situation
    Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

  • procedural: the party is impeded by procedural obstacles
    Category: Law

  • procedural: kind of reasoning which uses simulation to answer questions and solve problems
    Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

  • procedural: in a frame-based method:the process of adding or removing values from the slots which can activate procedures(self-contained pieces of code)attached to the slots.These procedures may then modify values in other slots,continuing the process until the desired goal is achieved

  • procedural: style of programming which consists of designing a program as a set of procedures,manipulating anonymous data structures
    Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

  • procedural: a memory of rules of action and procedures

  • procedural: a surfacing control that creates maps based on values entered by the user. Maps created by procedural shaders can be used on any surfacing parameter - diffuse colour, specular reflection, luminosity, transparency, etc. - in just the same manner that bitmaps created outside the application can be used
    Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

  • procedural: a method of airspace control which relies on a combination of previously agreed and promulgated orders and procedures
    Category: Defense

  • procedural: a function that takes either a 2D texture coordinate or a 3D world coordinates as input, and returns a texture value (either a colour for a pattern map or a normal for a bump map)
    Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

  • procedural: a nonlinear representation of plans used by a hierarchical planning system called KAMP.It can be thought as a two-dimensional data structure.The horizontal dimension is a temporal one,reflecting the partial ordering among the actions.The vertical dimension is one of abstraction,where goals and abstract actions are refined into sentences of low-level actions that can be performed directly by the agent
    Category: General

  • procedural: a special type of pattern map that dynamically calls a procedural texture function to compute a perturbed surface normal rather than performing a lookup into a stored image
