all volume, weight and area measure are stated in terms of metric measure: 1 ounce (weight) is equal to 28.349 grams (g) 1 ounce (fluid) is equal to 28.413 milliliters (ml) 1 imperial gallon is equal to 4.55 liters (L) 1 liter water weighs 1 kilogram (Kg) 1 kilogram is equal to 2.2 lb. 100 sq. m. is equal to 1076 sq. ft. 100 cu. m is equal to 3500 sq. ft.
Methodologies applied to derive and calculate indicators. Examples: 1. Adult consumer performs paid work for at least 20 hours per week. 2. SED child attends at least 90% of regularly scheduled school days.
These are cumulative stays that are incremented at midnight: (a) Unoccupied bed equivalent days per period (b) Occupied bed equivalent days per period (c) Resourced bed equivalent days per period. Percentage occupancy = (occupied bed days per period / resourced bed days per period) x 100. Turnover rate = (admissions / number of days in period) / resourced bed days per period. Turnover interval = unoccupied bed days per period / (admissions x number of days in period). Five-day wards need to be handled carefully. They have five resourced bed days per week but only four bed-equivalent days, as they are counted at midnight. The denominator used should be four resourced bed days rather than five; otherwise 100 percent occupancy would not be possible.
Actions that can be taken by a government or a group of governments, often in conjunction with the private sector, to accelerate the use of technologies or other practices that reduce GHG emissions.
A decision by Cabinet or the Prime Minister that has been finalised in the context of the 2006-07 Budget and has resulted in a change in expenditure from 2006-07 onwards.
specific feature(s) used to quantify an indicator, as specified in a sampling protocol. For example, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and specific conductivity are all measures of water chemistry.
