    cross effect

    The example you've given refers to a different cross effect. The cross effect relating to the NDIR gas sensor is due to the limited selectivity between gases in certain cases ,such as between ethane and methane, when the bandwidths(as seen by the instrument) happen to overlap and so when you're...

    bench

    I came in as a late interloper and missed a couple of early posts - cougr and dharvatis you are right on the money... it refers to a gas sensor arrangement aka the optical bench.

    bench

    Exactly resident. Equipment comes in different styles and sizes - such as hand held, bench top, industrial mega scale etc.. Here bench = φορητό... i.e. something sturdy but lightweight that you can carry/move around easily. Μιλάμε για ένα φορητό ανιχνευτή αερίων που χρησιμοποιείται σε μικρά...

    backstone

    I'm treating this as an opportunity to learn something about history and ancient cultures - or to get confused in the process. So the backstone according to this definition is a stone (presumably a large monolithic slab ?) forming the rear wall of the chamber... so it doesn't necessarily refer...

    backstone

    Επειδή to backstone δεν υπάρχει σαν όρος - ήθελα να ρωτήσω άμα αυτό δίνει άδεια να εφευρεθεί ένας καινούργιος όρος .. π.χ. ας πούμε οπισθόλιθος η κάτι το παρόμοιο ; Έτσι τουλάχιστον (με την μονολεκτική, πλασματική απόδοση - άμα επιτρέπεται βεβαία ) διατηρείται μια αντιστοιχία.

    whoopdidoo

    Σωστά, Αλεξάνδρα ! Αλλά χρησιμοποιείται και ειρωνικά .. σαν "σπουδαία τα λάχανα" ... bid deal etc.. Unfortunately my google search didn't bring forth any examples, but I know from experience that it can be used ironically that way. Eleni needs to determine in which sense it's being used.

    fund of funds

    Το Α/Κ Κεφαλαίων είναι βεβαία ο αποδεχτός και σωστός όρος .. το Κ/ Κεφαλαίων δεν χρησιμοποιείτε. Και στην παρατήρηση της Palavra's .. ..ίσως αποδείχτηκε ότι δεν αποφεύγεται νομίζω το αμοιβαίο - έπρεπε να το χρησιμοποιήσω. :inno:

    fund of funds

    Συμφωνώ, Στο ίδιο συμπέρασμα έφτασα τελικά. Δεν ξέρω άμα έλαβε (χτες) η Palavra την απάντηση μου (δια private message - επειδή δεν είχα ένδειξη ) .. της έστειλα ένα παρόμοιο απόσπασμα σχετικά με το Α/Κ Κεφαλαίων .. που αποσαφηνίζει το θέμα, και κατέληξα επίσης (μέσα στο Private message)...

    peak titre

    I think we're on the same page. :mellow: The way I figure it(I could be wrong) ..is A laboratory may have predetermined a LOD concentration for a particular analyte (an assay concentration cutoff which is a constant as you say for the particular analyte concerned - but let's say it happens to...

    peak titre

    By reciprocal relationship I meant a multiplicative inverse relationship for each particular peak titre sample and its corresponding LOD titre pair. So let's say starting with a particular peak titre sample in which its LOD titre has been determined to be reached after 6 serial dilutions (6x...

    peak titre

    Thanks dharvatis. Obviously a reciprocal relationship (of some sort) exists then between the lowest measurable titre (the titre in which the limit of detection occurs - essentially the assay cut off titre - το όριο ανίχνευσης) and the peak titre.

    peak titre

    I'm confused by this link .. I'm not sure if peak height described here is synonymous with peak titre ? http://www.stsanalytical.com/TechnicalLibrary/STS%20-%20Limit%20of%20Detection.pdf

    peak titre

    Το peak titre έχει να κάνει με το όριο ανίχνευσης - άλλα δεν ξέρω άμα αντιστοιχεί επακριβώς ;

    lemon = (slang) σαπάκι

    Interesting - whereas "lemon" only refers to inanimate objects. You wouldn't refer to an inept player(writer or actor etc..) as a "lemon" (it would be nonsensical) .. you'd call him/her a failure,a hack or a dud etc.. instead. A "lemon" is almost exclusively a manufactured or constructed...

    lemon = (slang) σαπάκι

    Πάντως συμφωνώ με την Alexandra ! A distinction needs to be made here -a "lemon" is a product that will bring us grief, problems and disappointment - when we expected so much more from it. A "lemon" could very well be a brand new product. The opposite of a "lemon" is a product that's reliable, a...

    lemon = (slang) σαπάκι

    Here's my take on it.. A "lemon" can loosely apply to anything that hasn't met a buyer's expectations .. but it's more usually reserved for cars, some make/model let's say that's notorious for "breaking down" mechanically. For shares .. There's also the term "Penny Dreadful Shares/Stocks"...

    τζάμπα μάγκας

    Καλημέρα, Για το τζάμπα - ίσως two-bit, smalltime... ταιριάζει νομίζω με τα συμφραζόμενα. Μάγκας είναι πιο δύσκολο. Για το τζάμπα μάγκας.. Two-bit hero (or bully or punk ?) .. το two-bit hero ίσως υποδηλώνει ότι δεν κινδυνεύει ο μάγκας - ήρωας. .. and τζάμπα μαγκιές - could be two-bit heroics ?
