Lethality can also refer to the after-effects of a major chemical or oil/gas process loss of containment, causing fire, explosion, or a toxic cloud. Lethality curves can be developed in process safety to assess and describe mortality patterns around the accident location. The impact is typically greatest closest to the event site and lessens to ...
Ten Mark 83 bombs aboard a US Navy F/A-18E. The nominal weight of the bomb is 1,000 pounds (450 kg), although its actual weight varies between 985 pounds (447 kg) and 1,030 pounds (470 kg), depending on fuze options, [1] and fin configuration. [2]
Synthetic lethality is defined as a type of genetic interaction where the combination of two genetic events results in cell death or death of an organism. [1] Although the foregoing explanation is wider than this, it is common when referring to synthetic lethality to mean the situation arising by virtue of a combination of deficiencies of two or more genes leading to cell death (whether by ...
