To decide whether the same method can be used to measure the specific heat capacity of a sample, the following factors that affect measurement during thermal diffusivity tests need to be analyzed: 1  Rise in temperature. 2  Laser pulse magnitude. 3  Reflection by other media. 4  Sample-related problems.
Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF) Extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the side of the body to treat spinal disorders and reduce long-term back or leg pain that has not responded to other treatments, such as steroid injections, physical therapy and pain medication.
Applications [edit]. A common use for the S/PDIF interface is to carry compressed digital audio for surround sound as defined by the standard IEC 61937. This mode is used to connect the output of a DVD player or computer, via optical or coax, to a home-theatre amplifying receiver that supports Dolby Digital or DTS./PDIF was developed at the same time as the main standard, AES3, used to interconnect professional audio equipment in the professional audio field.
