On other cameras, such as those from Canon and Nikon, this is not a distinguished mode. Rather, ISO can be set manually in all modes, or sometimes set to auto, and thus sensitivity priority is equivalent to manual ISO and program mode, in both cases automatically selecting aperture and shutter speed, with a manual ISO setting.

Reverse sensitivity is a term from the New Zealand planning system. It describes the impacts of newer uses on prior activities occurring in mixed use areas. Some activities tend to have the effect of limiting the ability of established ones to continue. A key instance is the impact of new residential development on mixed use neighbourhoods as an area goes through a process of gentrification . Such prior uses might be entertainment, commercial or industrial uses. New residents tend to have expectations of a level of amenity comparable to suburban residential areas and will complain about noise from established uses. This has previously had the effect of imposing economic burdens or operational limitations on the prior uses that reduce their viability, forcing them to close down or move. The concept of reverse sensitivity suggests that a reversal of this approach is possible and that the burden of providing residential amenity in mixed use environments should fall to the developers of new residential buildings in those areas. Planning schemes can regulate these issues via zoning ordinances.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Shock sensitivity is a comparative measure of the sensitivity to sudden compression by impact or blast of an explosive chemical compound . Determination of the shock sensitivity of a material intended for practical use is one important aspect of safety testing of explosives . A variety of tests and indices are in use, of which one of the more common is the Rotter Impact Test with results expressed as FoI Figure of Insensitivity . At least four other impact tests are in common use, while various gap tests are used to measure sensitivity to blast shock. Julius Peters KG is a notable German company which manufactures testing apparatus for these tests. Sensitivities vary widely A few materials such as nitrogen triiodide cannot be touched at all without detonation detonating , and so are of purely academic interest. Some other compounds with a high sensitivity to shock, such as nitroglycerin and acetone peroxide , may detonate from a firm jolt and so cannot be legally transported in pure form. Acetone peroxide is often used by amateurs and terrorists as a means to detonate other explosives as well as acting as the main blasting agent, often resulting in injuries or death to those who underestimate its sensitivity. A number of methods are known to desensitize nitroglycerine so that it can be transported for Glyceryl trinitrate pharmacology medical uses , and it is also incorporated into other less sensitive explosives, such as dynamite s and gelignite s. Many practical commercial materials of intermediate sensitivity, such as gelignites and water gel explosive s, can be safely handled as they will not explode from casual shocks such as being dropped or lightly knocked by a tool. However they may explode if struck forcefully by a metal tool, and would certainly explode in the barrel if they were used in an artillery shell projectile ... by another explosive weapon.

Refimprove date September 2007 Assay sensitivity is a property of a clinical trial defined as the ability of a trial to distinguish an effective Therapy treatment from a less effective or ineffective intervention. Without assay sensitivity, a trial is not internally valid and is not capable of comparing the efficacy of two interventions. Importance Lack of assay sensitivity has different implications for trials intended to show a difference greater than zero between interventions superiority trials and trials intended to show non inferiority. Non inferiority trials attempt to rule out some margin of inferiority between a test and control intervention i.e. rule out that the test intervention is no worse than the control intervention by a chosen amount. If a trial intended to demonstrate efficacy by showing superiority of a test intervention to Scientific control control lacks assay sensitivity, it will fail to show that the test intervention is superior and will fail to lead to a conclusion of efficacy. In contrast, if a trial intended to demonstrate efficacy by showing a test intervention is non inferior to an active control lacks assay sensitivity, the trial may find an ineffective intervention to be non inferior and could lead to an erroneous conclusion of efficacy. ref cite journal ... itself directly demonstrates that the trial had assay sensitivity assuming the finding is not related ... of assay sensitivity.

There is much variation in the sensitivity to cold experienced by different people, with some putting on many layers of clothing while others in the same environment feel comfortable in one layer. Cold sensitivity may be a symptom of hypothyroidism , anemia , fibromyalgia or vasoconstriction according to article Sauna . There may also be differences in people in the expression of uncoupling protein s, thus affecting their amount of thermogenesis . It has been found that one s state of mind influences one s perception of ambient temperature.

All explosive compounds have a certain amount of energy required to initiate. If an explosive is too sensitive, it may go off accidentally. A safer explosive is less sensitive and will not explode if accidentally dropped or mishandled. However, such explosives are more difficult to initiate intentionally. Explosive train Less sensitive explosives can be initiated by smaller quantities of more sensitive explosives, called primers or detonator s, such as blasting cap s. The use of increasingly less sensitive explosive materials to create an escalating chain reaction is known as an explosive train , initiation sequence , or firing train .

Image KB test.jpg right thumb Antibiotic sensitivity Thin wafers containing antibiotic have been placed on an agar plate growing bacteria. Bacteria are not able to grow around antibiotics to which they are sensitive Antibiotic sensitivity is a term used to describe the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotic s. Antibiotic susceptibility testing AST is usually carried out to determine which antibiotic will be most successful in treating a bacterial infection in vivo . Testing for antibiotic sensitivity is often done by the Kirby Bauer antibiotic testing Kirby Bauer method . Small wafers containing antibiotics are placed onto a plate upon which bacteria are growing. If the bacteria are sensitive to the antibiotic, a clear ring, or zone of inhibition, is seen around the wafer indicating poor growth. Other methods to test antimicrobial susceptibility include the Stokes method, E test also based on antibiotic diffusion . Agar and Broth dilution methods for Minimum inhibitory concentration Minimum Inhibitory Concentration determination. Ideal antibiotic therapy is based on determination of the aetiological agent and its relevant antibiotic sensitivity. Empiric treatment is often started before laboratory microbiological reports are available when treatment should not be delayed due to the seriousness of the disease. The effectiveness of individual antibiotics varies with the location of the infection, the ability of the antibiotic to reach the site of infection, and the ability of the bacteria to resist or inactivate the antibiotic. Some antibiotics actually kill the bacteria bactericidal , whereas others merely prevent the bacteria from multiplying bacteriostatic so that the host s immune system can overcome them. Muller Hinton agar is most frequently used in this antibiotic susceptibility test. For example, gram bacteria are sensitive to penicillin.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 A sensitivity speck is a place in silver halide crystal where latent image is preferentially formed. This is very often the site of shallow electron traps, such as crystalline defect particularly edge dislocation and silver sulfide specks created by sulfur sensitization process. When a photon is absorbed by a silver halide crystal, a free carrier electron in the conduction band is generated. This free carrier can migrate through the crystal lattice of silver halide , until captured by the shallow electron trap, where the electron is likely to reduce an interstitial silver ion to form an atomic silver. Subsequent exposure can grow the size of silver cluster through the same mechanism. This forms the latent image where the silver cluster becomes large enough to render the entire crystal developable in developer solution.
