	International Cannabinoid Research Society The International Cannabinoid Research Society (ICRS) is a professional society for scientific research in all fields of the cannabinoids, based in North Carolina, US. ICRS is one of the very few global non-profit medical societies or associations related to cannabis and cannabinoids. History The ICRS was formally incorporated as a scientific research society in 1992. Prior to that, early ICRS Symposia were organized by various researchers in the field since 1970. Membership in the Society has risen from 50 original members in its first year to 650+ members from all over the world. Work The International Cannabinoid Research Society is a: Non-political, non-religious organization dedicated to scientific research in all fields of the cannabinoids, ranging from biochemical, chemical and physiological studies of the endogenous cannabinoid system to studies of the abuse potential of recreational ''Cannabis''. In addition to acting as a source for impartial information on ''Canna ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	International Celestial Reference System The International Celestial Reference System (ICRS) is the current standard celestial reference system adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Its origin is at the barycenter of the Solar System, with axes that are intended to "show no global rotation with respect to a set of distant extragalactic objects". This fixed reference system differs from previous reference systems, which had been based on Catalogues of Fundamental Stars that had published the positions of stars based on direct "observations of heir equatorial coordinates, right ascension and declination" and had adopted as "privileged axes ... the mean equator and the dynamical equinox" at a particular date and time. The International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) is a realization of the International Celestial Reference System using reference celestial sources observed at radio wavelengths. In the context of the ICRS, a reference ''frame'' (RF) is the physical realization of a reference ''system,'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Institute Of Corporate Responsibility And Sustainability The Institute of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (ICRS) is a professional body dedicated to supporting Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability practitioners. It is the successor to the Corporate Responsibility Group. ICRS was launched on 9 July 2014 at Guildhall in London, with speeches by the Lord Mayor of London, Fiona Woolf; the Minister for Civil Society, Hon. Nick Hurd MP; and the Chief Executive of Business in the Community. The City of London Corporation is the "lead supporter" of ICRS. Other founding supporters include global firms such as Alliance Boots, Herbert Smith Freehills, Hogan Lovells, IBM, Linklaters, Marks & Spencer, Pearson, Santander, Tata Consultancy Services, Thomson Reuters and Zurich Insurance Group. Membership Membership to ICRS is available to all Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability practitioners at all stages in their career. Eligibility for Associate, Member and Fellow level membership is assessed against the elements of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segment An intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) (also known as intrastromal corneal ring, corneal implant or corneal insert) is a small device implanted in the eye to correct vision. The procedure involves an ophthalmologist who makes a small incision in the cornea of the eye and inserts two crescent or semi-circular shaped ring segments between the layers of the corneal stroma, one on each side of the pupil. The embedding of the two rings in the cornea is intended to flatten the cornea and change the refraction of light passing through the cornea on its way into the eye. __TOC__ Design Intrastromal corneal ring segments have many different types and designs, including Intacs (US), Cornealring (Brazil), Keraring (Brazil), Ferrara ring (Brazil), Myoring (Austria) and Intraseg (UK). Medical uses Intrastromal corneal rings were originally used to treat mild myopia. For this purpose, they have largely been superseded by excimer lasers, which have better accuracy. They are now mostly used ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
