Respiratory Syncytial Virus
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), also called human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) and human orthopneumovirus, is a common, contagious virus that causes infections of the respiratory tract. It is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Its name is derived from the large cells known as ''syncytia'' that form when infected cells fuse. RSV is the single most common cause of respiratory hospitalization in infants, and reinfection remains common in later life: it is a notable pathogen in all age groups. Infection rates are typically higher during the cold winter months, causing bronchiolitis in infants, common colds in adults, and more serious respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia in the elderly and immunocompromised. RSV can cause outbreaks both in the community and in hospital settings. Following initial infection via the eyes or nose, the virus infects the epithelial cells of the upper and lower airway, causing inflammation, cell damage, and airway obstruction. A variet ...

Minicar RSV
The Minicar RSV was a concept automobile created in the United States and funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to find ways to decrease highway fatalities. A contract was awarded in 1975 to independent firms Calspan & Minicars, after rejecting unsuitable concepts presented by much larger automakers, including Ford and Volkswagen. The car itself was completed sometime between 1976 & 1980: at least 10 were produced & demonstrated on television & at county fairs. The program was terminated in January 1981, at the start of the Reagan Administration, and most of the test vehicles were destroyed by 1991. In the late 2000s, two vehicles were found, and NHTSA paid to bring one to semi-usable status for further study. Specifications * Doors: 2 gull wing * Features: airbags; run-flat tires; did NOT have seat belts in the front * Frame: plastic-composite and steel mix * Mileage: 32mpg est. * Powerplant: Honda EF * Seating: 4 passengers References Ext ...

Ship Prefix
A ship prefix is a combination of letters, usually abbreviations, used in front of the name of a civilian or naval ship that has historically served numerous purposes, such as identifying the vessel's mode of propulsion, purpose, or ownership/nationality. In the modern environment, prefixes are cited inconsistently in civilian service, whereas in government service a vessel's prefix is seldom omitted due to government regulations dictating that a certain prefix be used. Today the common practice is to use a single prefix for all warships of a nation's navy, and other prefixes for auxiliaries and ships of allied services, such as coast guards. For example, the modern navy of Japan adopts the prefix "JS" – Japanese Ship. However, not all navies use prefixes. Among the Blue-water navy, blue-water navies, those of France, Brazil, China, Russia, Germany, and Spain do not use ship prefixes. NATO designations such as FS (French Ship), FGS (Federal German Ship), and SPS (Spanish Ship) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
USV RSV (Marine Tech)
The RSV (Remote Survey Vehicle) is an Unmanned Surface Vehicle developed by the founders of Marine Tech SAS since 2008. Features Engineered and designed as an autonomous and robust marine surface platform, the RSV can operate several oceanographic sensors simultaneously to achieve measurements, exploration of aquatic environment and hydrographic survey. Fitted with a high resolution infrared camera, the RSV can also be considered as an autonomous platform for surveillance and security of sensitive areas (ports protection, specific areas monitoring or observation of unsafe events for humans). With an autonomy varying from 4h to 48h, the RSV is a size-optimized and user-friendly USV, remotely controlled or autopiloted. Data measured are transmitted and visualized/controlled in real time by the distant operator. The range of RSV allows operating: * in difficult access areas (dams, rivers, shallow water, canals, etc.), * offshore. The RSV allows ROV deployment for subsea obse ...

Revised Standard Version
The Revised Standard Version (RSV) is an English translation of the Bible published in 1952 by the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA. This translation itself is a revision of the American Standard Version (ASV) of 1901, and was intended to be a readable and literally accurate modern English translation which aimed to "preserve all that is best in the English Bible as it has been known and used through the centuries" and "to put the message of the Bible in simple, enduring words that are worthy to stand in the great Tyndale- King James tradition." The RSV was the first translation of the Bible to make use of the Dead Sea Scroll of Isaiah, a development considered "revolutionary" in the academic field of biblical scholarship. The New Testament was first published in 1946, the Old Testament in 1952, and the Apocrypha in 1957; the New Testament was revised in 1971. The original '' Revised Standard Version, Catholic Editio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Royal Society Of Victoria
The Royal Society of Victoria (RSV) is the oldest scientific society in the state of Victoria in Australia. Foundation In 1854 two organisations formed with similar aims and membership, these being ''The Philosophical Society of Victoria'' (founded 15 June, 1854, inaugural president Andrew Clarke) and ''The Victorian Institute for the Advancement of Science'' (founded 12 August, 1854, inaugural president Justice Sir Redmond Barry). These two merged in July 1855 to form the Philosophical Institute of Victoria, with Clarke as the inaugural president. The Philosophical Institute received Royal Charter in 1859, and the first president of the freshly renamed Royal Society of Victoria was Ferdinand von Mueller (later Baron Sir Ferdinand von Mueller), then Victoria's Government Botanist. In 1860 the RSV organised the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition under the Presidency of Victorian Governor Sir Henry Barkly. Activities The Society has played an important role in the life of Mel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rijn-Schelde-Verolme
The shipbuilding company Rijn-Schelde-Verolme Machinefabrieken en Scheepswerven NV (RSV) was a combination of shipbuilding companies and machine factories founded in 1971. In 1983 the company went broke with a staggering loss of public money. It led to the Parliamentary inquiry about RSV. Foundation Context After World War II, the Dutch shipbuilding industry quickly recovered. Until the mid 1950s there was a lot of work and the industry made good profits. In 1958 it was the fifth of the world in tonnage and employed 56,000 people. Nevertheless, the Dutch shipbuilders had a structural problem. In general they had missed out on the revolution in shipbuilding which had taken place in the United States during World War II, and resulted in the Liberty ship. It involved building ships in sections and series, and replacing most riveting with electric welding. Building in sections was first done in the Netherlands by Cornelis Verolme. In about 1960, the other shipyards followed. Buil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stampe Et Vertongen
Stampe et Vertongen was a Belgian aircraft manufacturer formed in 1922 and based at Antwerp. The company specialised in design and construction of primary trainers/tourers and advanced trainers. One of their products - the Stampe-Vertongen SV.4 - has become known in certain countries as just ''Stampe''. History Established in 1922 with Alfred Renard as its chief designer, the company designed a series of trainer/tourer aircraft in the 1920s and 1930s, all prefixed RSV (for Renard, Stampe & Vertongen). In the early 1930s Alfred Renard left to join a company he had formed with his brother Georges Renard Société Anonyme d'Avions et de Moteurs Renard. The RSV company designation prefix then changed to SV. The company's most successful design was the SV.4 of 1933, a light tourer/trainer biplane powered by a de Havilland Gipsy III engine. Although only 35 were produced before the start of the war War is an intense armed conflict between states, governments, societies, or ...
