other uses2 Brownout refimprove date April 2011 A brownout is an intentional drop in volt age in an electrical power supply system used for load reduction in an emergency. ref Steven Warren Blume Electric power system basics for the nonelectrical professional . John Wiley & Sons, 2007ISBN 0470129875 p. 199 ref The reduction lasts for minutes or hours, as opposed to short term voltage sag or dip. The term brownout comes from the dimming experienced by lighting when the voltage sags. A voltage reduction may be an effect of disruption of an electrical grid, or may occasionally be imposed in an effort to reduce load and prevent a power outage blackout . ref Alan Wyatt, Electric Power Challenges and Choices , The Book Press Limited, Toronto, 1986 ISBN 0 920650 00 7 page 63 ref Effects Different types of electrical apparatus will react in different ways to a sag. Some devices will be severely affected, while others may not be affected at all. The heat output of any resistance device, such as an electric space heater will vary with the true power consumption, which is proportional to the square of the applied voltage. Therefore, a significant loss of heat output will occur with a relatively small reduction in voltage. Similarly, an incandescent lamp will dim due to the lower heat emission from the filament. Generally speaking, no damage will occur but functionality will be impaired. Commutated electric motors, such as universal motor s, whose mechanical power output also varies with the square of the applied voltage, will run at reduced speed and reduced torque. Depending on the motor design, no harm may occur. However, under load, the motor will draw more ampere current due to the reduced back EMF developed at the lower armature speed. Unless the motor has ample cooling capacity .... A linear direct current regulated supply will maintain the output voltage unless the brownout is severe ... to prevent it depends on the nature of the equipment being controlled for instance a brownout ... more details

Medical findings will signify the collective physical and psychological occurrences of patients surveyed by a medical doctor. The survey is composed of physical examinations by the doctor s senses and simple medical devices, which build clinical findings . If necessary, the results are proofed by further diagnostic tests, which may include procedures using medical apparatus. As the findings relate to the intersubjective occurrences diagnosed by the doctor, they will be differentiated from the sum of subjective data in the patient s medical history . The documentation of medical findings can differ between quantitative data quantitative evidence, e.g. the cholesterol level is 220 mmol L qualitative data qualitative evidence, e.g. the consciousness is clouded Out of a combination of these extracted medical findings, a doctor can deduce their diagnosis , whereby they ascribe an affliction to the patient. Medical findings that do not match these diagnoses will be labeled auxiliary medical findings , whose symptom s can illustrate other afflictions. Although the difference is not clear in everyday parlance, medical findings and symptoms are completely delineated during the process of confirming a medical finding the empirical character those that can be found of the collected medical characteristics is brought out, highlighting symptom of an affliction.

Like many areas of study that have emerged in recent times, it relies heavily on broad interdisciplinary knowledge between the so called traditional fields such as physics i.e. medical physics , radiation physics or imaging physics and advanced biology fields such as biochemistry , biophysics , physiology , neuroscience etc. Some important areas of research in medical biophysics which have evolved from medical physics and diagnostic imaging include medical imaging e.g. MRI , computed tomography , and Positron emission tomography PET , oncology and cancer diagnosis using radiolabelling and molecular imaging , and vasculature and circulatory system function . Some important areas of research in medical biophysics which have evolved from biology and biophysics include using targeted nanomedicine not only for medical imaging but to also deliver energy to disease for treatment.
