This type of laryngitis is generally caused by exposure to irritants over time. Chronic laryngitis can cause vocal cord strain and injuries or growths on the vocal cords (polyps or nodules). These injuries can be caused by: Inhaled irritants, such as chemical fumes, allergens or smoke.
Maximum sustainable power. Functional Threshold Power, or FTP, is one of the key training terms in cycling and is effectively the maximum power you can sustain for an hour. As a result, FTP is seen as a crucial figure in determining your all-round ability on the bike, and is a number top riders swear by.
maximum power point (MPP) In photovoltaic systems, the point at which the most possible current is drawn from a cell, and the voltage subsequently drops off. The MPP changes slightly with temperature and intensity of sunlight. Most photovoltaic (PV) systems have power conditioning electronics, called maximum power point trackers (MPPT), that constantly adjust the voltage in order to maximize power output. Simpler systems operate at a fixed voltage close to the optimal voltage.
