* Low brass is a copper-zinc alloy containing 20 % zinc with a light golden color and excellent ductility ; it is used for flexible metal hoses and metal bellows.

Conversely the use of true brass seems to have declined in Western Europe during this period in favour of gunmetals and other mixed alloys but by the end of the first Millennium AD brass artefacts are found in Scandinavian graves in Scotland, brass was being used in the manufacture of coins in Northumbria and there is archaeological and historical evidence for the production of brass in Germany and The Low Countries areas rich in calamine ore which would remain important centres of brass making throughout the medieval period, especially Dinant – brass objects are still collectively known as dinanterie in French.

Often logic " 0 " will be a lower voltage and referred to as " Low " while logic " 1 " is referred to as " High ".

Low voltage reduces the specimen damage by the incident electrons and increases image contrast that is especially important for biological specimens.

Estonian has been influenced by Swedish, German ( initially Middle Low German, later also standard German ), and Russian, though it is not related to them genetically.

This is primarily because the Estonian language has borrowed nearly one third of its vocabulary from Germanic languages, mainly from Low Saxon ( Middle Low German ) during the period of German rule, and High German ( including standard German ).

Low concentrations of HDL ( below 40 mg / dL for men, below 50 mg / dL for women ) increase the risk for atherosclerotic diseases.

The overall risk assessment is then Low, Medium or High, depending on the sub-range containing the calculated value of the Composite Index.

Low ( as opposed to zero or negative ) inflation reduces the severity of economic recessions by enabling the labor market to adjust more quickly in a downturn, and reduces the risk that a liquidity trap prevents monetary policy from stabilizing the economy.

Low risk criteria such as these provide some protection for a case where individuals may be exposed to multiple chemicals ( whether pollutants or food additives, or other chemicals ).

Low molecular weight heparin also disrupts rosette formation and may have a lower risk of bleeding in malaria.

Individuals who were born Very Low Birth Weight (< 1500 grams ) and Extremely Low BirthWeight ( ELBW ) are at greater risk for various cognitive deficits including planning ability.

* Low ( green ): low risk

Low calcium intake may also be a risk factor in the development of osteoporosis.

Low fiber, high fat diet, constipation and use of stimulant laxatives increase the risk of bleeding, also history of diverticulitis increases the chance to bleed.

The level of risk in each zone changes every three hours moving from " Low " to " Moderate " to " High " and back to " Low ".

Further evidence of sex-based disparities in radiation-induced cancers was published in the 2006 report by the National Research Council ’ s Committee to Assess Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation ( known as the BEIR VII report ), which found that women ’ s risk due to radiation exposure exceeded men ’ s by 37. 5 percent.

Low voltage cabling is permitted because current flow is typically negligible so the risk of overheating and fire is limited.

Low MAOA activity is a significant risk factor for aggressive and antisocial behavior in adults who report victimization as children.

This led to the development of the Very Low Profile ( VLP ) form factor DIMM with a height of ~. 72 " ( 18. 3 mm ).

Low birth weight is also a known factor.

NLX ( New Low Profile Extended ) was a form factor proposed by Intel and developed jointly with IBM, DEC, and other vendors for low profile, low cost, mass-marketed retail PCs.

LPX ( Low Profile eXtension ), originally developed by Western Digital, was a loosely defined motherboard format ( form factor ) widely used in the 1990s.

Low levels of factor XI also occur in many other disease states, including Noonan syndrome.

Nerve growth factor has been shown to interact with TrkA and Low affinity nerve growth factor receptor.

Low angle shots in medium close-up on a person can point to their power, but it can also point to ridicule because of the distortion factor.
