The new per diem rate is now $129 ($83 lodging, $46 meals and incidental expenses). In fiscal year 2014, there are approximately 2,600 counties that will get the new rates, while 400 Non-Standard Areas (NSAs) will get per diem rates higher than the standard rate for the mainland states.he lodging rate for the month of September will drop from $226 a night to $219 a night. The Times also noted that the GSA will end a policy that allowed federal employees to spend 25 percent above per diem rates for conferences, which will save agencies an estimated $10 million in fiscal 2014, according to the agency.
Article Sections. Tympanometry provides useful quantitative information about the presence of fluid in the middle ear, mobility of the middle ear system, and ear canal volume.
A spectrophotometer measures the intensity of a light beam before and after it passes through a sample and compares these two intensities. The Spec 20 reports two types of measurements: percent transmittance and absorbance.Percent transmittance is the ratio of the intensity of the light passing through the sample to the intensity of the light shining on the sample multiplied by 100%.Absorbance is the log of the transmittance. The Spec 20 can measure absorbance and transmittance over a range of wavelenghts.You must select a wavlength and calibrate the instrument at that wavelength before making any measurements.bsorbance is the log of the transmittance. The Spec 20 can measure absorbance and transmittance over a range of wavelenghts. You must select a wavlength and calibrate the instrument at that wavelength before making any measurements.
