Objectives. The Loeb minimum criteria (LMC), developed by a 2001 consensus conference, are minimum standards for initiation of antibiotics in long term care settings, intended to reduce inappropriate prescribing.
NTP-Normal Temperature and Pressure. NTP is commonly used as a standard condition for testing and documentation of fan capacities: 1  NTP-Normal Temperature and Pressure-is defined as air at 20oC (293.15 K, 68oF) and 1 atm (101.325 kN/m2, 101.325 kPa, 14.7 psia, 0 psig, 29.92 in Hg, 407 in H2O, 760 torr).ote that the earlier IUAPC definition of STP to 273.15 K and 1 atm (1.01325 105 Pa) is discontinued. 1 Pa = 10-6 N/mm2 = 10-5 bar = 0.1020 kp/m2 = 1.02x10-4 m H2O = 9.869x10-6 atm = 1.45x10-4 psi (lbf/in2). Standard volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP is 22.4 liters.
Atmospheric temperature range is the numerical difference between the minimum and maximum values of temperature observed in a given location during a period of time (e.g., in a given day, month, year, century) or the average (average of all temperature ranges in a period of time).he average temperature range is 5.7 degrees only. Temperature variation along the year in Aracaju is very damped (standard deviation of 1.93 for the maximum temperature and 2.72 for the minimum temperature).
