| Hehner value | The weight or percentage of the nonvolatile fatty acids yielded by 5 g of a saponified fat or oil. Synonym: Hehner value. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| higher heating value | (HHV) The maximum potential energy in dry fuel. For wood, the range is 7,600 to 9,600 Btu/lb. (05 Dec 1998) |
| homing value | In a cybernetic system such as homeostasis, that value of a trait of interest that the restorative forces are directed towards maintaining. (05 Mar 2000) |
| soil value | The relative lightness or intensity of colour, approximately a function of the square root of the total amount of light, one of the three variables of colour. (09 Oct 1997) |
| net heating value | The potential energy available in the fuel as received, taking into account the energy loss in evapourating and superheating the water in the sample. Expressed as NVH = (HHV x (1- MC / 100)) - (LH(2)O x MC / 100) (05 Dec 1998) |
| net present value | The sum of the costs and benefits of a project or activity. Future benefits and costs are discounted to account for interest costs. (05 Dec 1998) |
| nutritive value | An indication of the contribution of a food to the nutrient content of the diet. This value depends on the quantity of a food which is digested and absorbed and the amounts of the essential nutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrate, minerals, vitamins) which it contains. This value can be affected by soil and growing conditions, handling and storage, and processing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| S value | Svedberg Unit. See: sedimentation coefficient. (18 Nov 1997) |
| iodine value | An indication of the quantity of unsaturated fatty acids present in a fat; it represents the number of grams of iodine absorbed by each 100 g of fat. See: hydrogen number. Synonym: iodine value. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tenth-value layer | <radiobiology> Thickness of a specified substance which, when introduced into the path of a given beam of radiation, reduces the absorbed dose index or dose-equivalent index to one-tenth. The magnitude of the tenth-value layer may be different for absorbed dose index and dose equivalent index. (16 Dec 1997) |
| thiocyanogen value | The number of grams of thiocyanogen taken up by 100 g of fat; analogous to the iodine number, except that thiocyanogen will not add to all the double bonds in polyunsaturated fatty acids as will iodine. Synonym: thiocyanogen value. (05 Mar 2000) |
| threshold limit value | The maximum concentration of a chemical recommended by the American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists for repeated exposure without adverse health effects on workers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| economic value of life | The evaluation of the monetary value of a life lost or a life saved. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lower heating value | (LHV) The potential energy in a fuel if the water vapour from combustion of hydrogen is not condensed. (05 Dec 1998) |
| Abbe's law of limiting resolution | <physics> For a periodic structure of units separated by distance d and obliquely illuminated by the unrefracted ray and one of the two diffracted rays (extremely oblique illumination). Abbe applied the law of diffraction: d = 0.5 lambda /NA, where: lambda = wavelength of the monochromic light or shortest of mixed wavelengths NA = the limiting numerical aperture (NA) of objective or condenser.
