Laryngo-onycho-cutaneous Syndrome
Laryngo-onycho-cutaneous syndrome (also known as Shabbir syndrome) is a rare epithelial disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. It is characterized by abnormalities in the larynx, nails (" onycho-"), and skin ("cutaneous"). The disorder is only found in Punjabi Muslims and only a few cases have been reported. It was characterized by Pakistani dermatologist Syed Ghulam Shabbir (1923–2002) in 1986. It may be associated with ''LAMA3''.

Look Out Circular
Look out circular (LOC) is a circular letter used by authorities in India to check whether a traveling person is wanted by the police. It may be used at immigration checks at international borders such as international airports or sea port A port is a maritime facility comprising one or more wharves or loading areas, where ships load and discharge cargo and passengers. Although usually situated on a sea coast or estuary, ports can also be found far inland, such as Hamburg, Manche ...s. Definition Look out circulars are opened to search for absconding criminals and also to prevent and monitor effectively the entry or exit of anyone who may be sought by law enforcement authorities. When issued, they are sent to all immigration checkpoints in the country. An LOC is valid for an initial period of one year, but can be extended. Effectiveness Many individuals with pending criminal proceeding are living or working or travelling abroad, and an LOC is not issued in every case. Th ...

Dreadlocks
Dreadlocks, also known as dreads or locs, are a Hairstyle, hairstyle made of rope-like strands of matted hair. Dreadlocks can form naturally in Hair#Texture, very curly hair, or they can be created with techniques like twisting, Backcombing, backcombing, or crochet. Etymology The word ''dreadlocks'' is usually understood to come from Jamaican Creole ''dread'', "member of the Rastafari, Rastafarian movement who wears his hair in dreadlocks" (compare Nazirite), referring to their fear of God, dread or awe of God. An older name for dreadlocks was ''Wiktionary:elflock, elflocks'', from the notion that elf, elves had matted the locks in people's sleep. Other origins have been proposed. Some authors trace the term to the Mau Mau rebellion, Mau Mau, a group of whom apparently coined it from British Empire, British colonialists in 1959 as a reference to their dreadful hair. In their 2014 book ''Hair Story: Untangling the Roots of Black Hair in America'', Ayana Byrd and Lori Tharps cl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
LOC Record
In the Domain Name System, a LOC record (experimental ) is a means for expressing geographic location information for a domain name. It contains WGS84 Latitude, Longitude and Altitude (ellipsoidal height) information together with host/subnet physical size and location accuracy. This information can be queried by other computers connected to the Internet. Record format The LOC record is expressed in a master file in the following format: LOC ( d1 1 [s1 d2 [m2 [s2 alt["m"">1">1_[s1<_a>__d2_[m2_[s2.html" ;"title="1.html" ;"title="1 [s1">1 [s1 d2 [m2 [s2">1.html" ;"title="1 [s1">1 [s1 d2 [m2 [s2 alt["m"[siz["m"] [hp["m"] [vp["m" ) (The parentheses are used for multi-line data as specified in RFC 1035, section 5.1.) where: d1: [0 .. 90] (degrees latitude) d2: .. 180 (degrees longitude) m1, m2: .. 59 (minutes latitud ...

Amway
Amway Corp. (short for "American Way") is an American multi-level marketing (MLM) company that sells health, beauty, and home care products. The company was founded in 1959 by Jay Van Andel and Richard DeVos and is based in Ada Township, Michigan, Ada, Michigan. Amway and its sister companies under Alticor reported sales of $8.9 billion in 2019. It is the largest multi-level marketing company in the world by revenue. It conducts business through a number of affiliated companies in more than a hundred countries and territories. Amway has been investigated in various countries and by institutions such as the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for alleged pyramid scheme practices. The company has paid tens of millions of dollars to settle these suits. In 1983, Amway admitted to defrauding the Canadian government of customs duties and taxes by falsely undervaluing goods it imported into the country over a period of 15 years; it had to pay a fine. Between 2007 and 2008, Amway was fou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Limiting Oxygen Concentration
The limiting oxygen concentration (LOC), also known as the minimum oxygen concentration (MOC), is defined as the limiting concentration of oxygen below which combustion is not possible, independent of the concentration of fuel. It is expressed in units of volume percent of oxygen. The LOC varies with pressure and temperature. It is also dependent on the type of inert (non-flammable) gas. Limiting oxygen concentration for solid materials The effect of increasing the concentration of inert gas can be understood by viewing the inert as thermal ballast that quenches the flame temperature to a level below which the flame cannot exist. Carbon dioxide is therefore more effective than nitrogen due to its higher molar heat capacity.Drysdale:92 The concept has important practical use in fire safety engineering. For instance, to safely fill a new container or a pressure vessel with flammable gases, the atmosphere of normal air (containing 20.9 volume percent of oxygen) in the vesse ...

Limit Of Convection
In meteorology, the equilibrium level (EL), or level of neutral buoyancy (LNB), or limit of convection (LOC), is the height at which a rising parcel of air is at the same temperature as its environment. This means that unstable air is now stable when it reaches the equilibrium level and convection stops. This level is often near the tropopause and can be indicated as near where the anvil of a thunderstorm because it is where the thunderstorm updraft is finally cut off, except in the case of overshooting tops where it continues rising to the maximum parcel level (MPL) due to momentum. More precisely, the cumulonimbus will stop rising around a few kilometres prior to reaching the level of neutral buoyancy and on average anvil glaciation occurs at a higher altitude over land than over sea (despite little difference in LNB from land to sea).

Letter Of Credit
A letter of credit (LC), also known as a documentary credit or bankers commercial credit, or letter of undertaking (LoU), is a payment mechanism used in international trade to provide an economic guarantee from a creditworthy bank to an exporter of goods. Letters of credit are used extensively in the financing of international trade, when the reliability of contracting parties cannot be readily and easily determined. Its economic effect is to introduce a bank as an underwriter that assumes the counterparty risk of the buyer paying the seller for goods. Typically, after a sales contract has been negotiated, and the buyer and seller have agreed that a letter of credit will be used as the method of payment, the ''applicant'' will contact a bank to ask for a letter of credit to be issued. Once the ''issuing bank'' has assessed the buyer's credit risk, it will issue the letter of credit, meaning that it will provide a promise to pay the seller upon presentation of certain docum ...

Lab-on-a-chip
A lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is a device that integrates one or several laboratory functions on a single integrated circuit (commonly called a "chip") of only millimeters to a few square centimeters to achieve automation and high-throughput screening. LOCs can handle extremely small fluid volumes down to less than pico-liters. Lab-on-a-chip devices are a subset of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices and sometimes called "micro total analysis systems" (μTAS). LOCs may use microfluidics, the physics, manipulation and study of minute amounts of fluids. However, strictly regarded "lab-on-a-chip" indicates generally the scaling of single or multiple lab processes down to chip-format, whereas "μTAS" is dedicated to the integration of the total sequence of lab processes to perform chemical analysis. History After the invention of microtechnology (≈1954) for realizing integrated semiconductor structures for microelectronic chips, these lithography-based technologies were soon ...

Loc Publishing
Omniscriptum Publishing Group, formerly known as VDM Verlag Dr. Müller, is a German publishing group headquartered in Riga, Latvia.

OmniScriptum is designated as non-academic by the Norwegian Scientific Index, and its subsidiary Lambert Academic Publishing has been described as a predatory vanity press which does "not apply the basic standards of academic publishing such as peer-review, editorial or proof-reading processes." The company also offers print-to order publishing for fiction authors.
