Rod (in Slavic languages Род), sometimes referred to simply as god (Div, Diy; in the Veda Slovena Diy or Dia), is probably the most ancient deity in the Slavic pantheon. It is likely that several other gods, most notably Svarog, were initially epithets or incarnations of Rod. ...
A rod is a unit of length, equal to 11 cubits, 5.0292 metres, 16.5 feet, or of a statute mile. A rod is the same length as a perch and a pole. The lengths of the perch (one rod) and chain (four rods) were standardized in 1607 by Edmund Gunter.
Rod is a fictional character from the Tony Award winning Broadway musical, Avenue Q. He was originally played on Broadway by puppeteer John Tartaglia, but is currently played by Howie Michael Smith.
In geometry, a rod is a 3-dimensional, solid (filled) cylinder.
Rods, a rather new entry in the field of Cryptozoology, are creatures said to flit about in the air at such a high speed as to not be seen by the naked eye. Rods appear to be observational artifacts produced by rapidly flying animals. ...
Light-sensitive, specialized retinal receptor cell that works at low light levels (night vision). A normal retina contains 150 million rods.
A document which provides the definitive record of the cleanup alternative that will be used to remediate a hazardous waste site. The ROD is based on the Remedial Investigation / Feasibility Study and public comment.
Round, thin semi-finished metal length that is rolled from a billet and coiled for further processing. These rolling facilities often are called "rod trains". Rod is commonly drawn into wire products or used to make bolts, nails, and other machined parts.
A vertebrate photoreceptor that is primarily sensitive to light at low levels of intensity. Electrophysiology and human psychophysical experiments indicate that rods can reliably respond to the absorption of a single photon. Rods predominate in the retinas of nocturnal animals.
A photosensitive receptor in the retina that helps you to see in low light.
A graduated staff used in determining the difference in elevation between two points. The two most common types of rods are the Philadelphia Rod, graduated in feet and hundredths of a foot, and a California Rod, graduated in feet, inches, and eighths of an inch.
One of the two main classes of photoreceptor found in the vertebrate eye. Rods are very sensitive to light but fail to produce a usable signal at high light levels. They mediate night vision and have little effect on color vision in daylight.
A ROD is a legal, technical, and public document that explains which cleanup alternative will be used at a CERCLA NPL site. ...
The official record resulting from an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
a rod-shaped cell in the retina that is sensitive to dim light (Morris 1992).
(tamping) (ASTM C24l) A round, straight steel rod, 5/8' in diameter and approximately 24' in length, having the tamping end rounded into a hemispherical tip, the diameter of which is 5/8'.
Rust, oxidation and discolouration
Record of Decision. A formal document that describes the selected remedies for a site or group of sites.
A determination by the federal government that the project has complied with applicable laws and regulations in conducting the NEPA environmental review process.
Record of Decision. The formal document that in 1994 adopted the Northwest Forest Plan. See reference.
A photoreceptor in the retina of the eye that is specialized for colorless, dim-light vision.
This is the official document filed at the termination of the NEPA process.
This document is the same as a DN except it accompanies an EIS.
the. That by delivery of which a person is formally admitted to possession of a copyhold tenement by the steward of the manor.
A concise written record of the responsible official's decision based upon an EIS.
equals 16.5 feet. Used to measure portages.
A unit of measure for surveying land equaling 5 ½ Yards.
The final determination of the preferred alternative that follows the consideration of public comment. RODs apply to both CERCLA and NEPA .
any of the many rod-shaped cells in the retina of the eye; rods detect dim light and can distinguish shades of gray, whereas cones in the retina detect colors
an instrument or piece of equipment with a handle, shaft, and reel seat, which connects a reel and line for the purpose of making a controlled presentation of bait, lure, or fly.
