McGraw Hill Financial, Inc. is an American publicly traded corporation headquartered in Rockefeller Center in New York City. Its primary areas of business are financial, publishing, and business services.
Due to the threats they pose to the health of humans, animals, and plants, it is crucial to detect and identify pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria reliably and rapidly. This is true in the medical and veterinary setting, as well as in safety investigations of food, water, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products.
Industry:Science
High-purity chemicals used for analytical reactions, for the testing of new reactions where the effects of impurities are unknown, and in general for chemical work where impurities must either be absent or at known concentrations. If the concentration of impurity in any reagent is critical, an analysis should be made.
Industry:Science
Circuitry that is designed to ensure that external sources of interference do not degrade its performance. The design principles involved are very simple, and their application in a systematic manner will reduce interference from external sources to an acceptable level, even for the most sensitive circuits and applications.
Industry:Science
Any bacteriophage able to infect the bacterium <i>Escherichia coli</i>. Many are phages able to attack more than one strain of this organism. The T series of phage (T1–T7), propagated on a special culture of <i>E. coli</i>, strain B, have been used in extensive studies from which most of the knowledge of phages is derived.
Industry:Science
Distinctive ridges that appear on the bulb of the inside of the end joint of each finger and thumb. These ridges have definite contours and appear in three general pattern types, the arch, the loop, and the whorl, each with general and specific variations of the pattern, dependent upon the shape and relationship of the ridges.
Industry:Science
Electronic circuits used to create or modify specified time-varying electrical voltage or current waveforms using combinations of active electronic devices, such as transistors or analog or digital integrated circuits, and resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Most wave-shaping circuits are used to generate periodic waveforms.
Industry:Science
Disturbances that are propagated at a gas-liquid interface and are dependent primarily upon the gravitational property of the liquid (surface tension and viscosity being of secondary importance). Wave motions that occur in confined fluids (either liquid or gaseous) are dependent primarily upon the elastic property of the medium.
Industry:Science
Atmospheric water-vapor content, expressed in any of several measures, especially relative humidity, absolute humidity, humidity mixing ratio, and specific humidity. Quantity of water vapor is also specified indirectly by dew point (or frost point), vapor pressure, and a combination of wet-bulb and dry-bulb (actual) temperatures.
Industry:Science
General surgery includes broad operative expertise and experience with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and abdomen; benign and malignant diseases of the breast; disorders of the endocrine system, including the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands; and vascular disease; as well as the comprehensive management of trauma.
Industry:Science
Chemical compounds of nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen and oxygen do not combine when mixed directly (as in air), but they do combine during chemical reactions of compounds containing them. A number of nitrogen oxides can be isolated which differ from one another in the numbers of nitrogen and oxygen atoms present in each molecule.
