Hair on the scalp grows about half a millimeter a day - about 6 inches per year. Unlike other mammals, hair growth and loss is random and not seasonal or cyclical. Hairs are in various stages of growth and shedding at any given time. There are three stages of hair growth: catagen, anagen and telogen.
DEFINITION of 'Annual Basis'. The return earned by an investment over the course of a year. Projections containing the phrase on an annual basis have usually used less than a year's worth of data to project a full year's worth of returns. For example, an investment might have returned 1.5% in one month. By multiplying this return by 12, an 18% annual basis is the result.
The Latin word annus, meaning âyear,â gives us the root ann or enn. Words from the Latin annus have something to do with a year. Anything that is annual happens once a year and anything biennial happens once every two years. An anniversary is the return every year of the date on which something special happened.
