Glossary

A building, for which thermal comfort can be achieved solely by post-heating or post-cooling of the fresh air mass, which is required to achieve sufficient indoor air quality conditions – without the need for additional recirculation of air.

The state in which a stainless steel exhibits a very low corrosion rate. The loss (or minimizing) of chemical reactivity exhibited by certain metals and alloys under special environmental conditions.

(ISO) A character string that enables a user to have full or limited access to a system or to a set of data.

The heating of milk, wines, fruit juices, etc., for about thirty minutes at 68°C (154.4°F) whereby the living bacteria are destroyed, but the flavor or bouquet is preserved; the spores are unaffected, but are kept from developing by immediately cooling the liquid to 10°C (50°F) or lower.

A process for killing pathogenic organisms by heat, applied for a critical period of time.

Process Analytical Technology

(IEEE) A change made directly to an object program without reassembling or recompiling from the source program.

When applied to genetics, the government regulations or requirements conferring the right or title to an individual or organization to genes if there has been substantial human intervention.

(IEEE) A sequence of instructions that may be performed in the execution of a computer program.

(IEEE) Analysis of a computer program (source code) to identify all possible paths through the program, to detect incomplete paths, or to discover portions of the program that are not on any path.

(NBS) Testing to satisfy coverage criteria that each logical path through the program be tested. Often paths through the program are grouped into a finite set of classes. One path from each class is then tested. Synonymous: Path Coverage.

Any microbiological or eukaryotic cell containing sufficient genetic information, which upon expression of such information is capable of producing disease in healthy people, plants, or animals.

Causing or capable of causing disease.

Organisms capable of causing disease, either directly (by infecting) or indirectly (by producing a toxin that causes illness).

Disease-producing microbes.
