Refrigerate the frozen meat. Place the plate of frozen meat in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. For larger cuts of meat, allow 24 hours for every 5 pounds (2.3 kilograms) of meat. After the first 24 hours, check the meat periodically to see if itâs thawed.
In physiology, a refractory period is a period of time during which an organ or cell is incapable of repeating a particular action, or (more precisely) the amount of time it takes for an excitable membrane to be ready for a second stimulus once it returns to its resting state following an excitation.
The orbital period is the time taken for a given object to make one complete orbit around another object. When mentioned without further qualification in astronomy this refers to the sidereal period of an astronomical object, which is calculated with respect to the stars. There are several kinds of orbital periods for objects around the Sun (or other celestial objects): 1  The sidereal period is the temporal cycle that it takes an object to make a full orbit, relative to the stars. 2  This is the orbital period in an inertial (non-rotating) frame of reference.
