Staffing Levels Per Resident per Day. Medicare determines the expected staffing time per resident per day depending on level of care the residents of The Homestead Of Denison require. It is important to compare the reported time to expected time for a single facility instead of comparing the amount of time per resident of two facilities. Learn why.
Sols Edit. The term sol is used by planetary astronomers to refer to the duration of a solar day on Mars. A mean Martian solar day, or sol, is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds. When a spacecraft lander begins operations on Mars, the passing Martian days (sols) are tracked using a simple numerical count.
Three recent solar cycles. Solar minimum is the period of least solar activity in the 11 year solar cycle of the sun. During this time, sunspot and solar flare activity diminishes, and often does not occur for days at a time. The date of the minimum is described by a smoothed average over 12 months of sunspot activity, so identifying the date of the solar minimum usually can only happen 6 months after the minimum takes place.
