LOD
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: LODs
Senses: examples: text: The lowest response region in the spectrum is that which has the LOD as the upper bound. It is clear that if a response that is smaller than the response associated with the LOD is observed, the analytical result should be reported as "less than the LOD" or "not detected."

text: PFOS exceeded the LOD in potatoes, canned vegetables, eggs, sugars, and preserves, with highest levels detected in potatoes (10 ng/g ww).
ref: 2011, Thomas P. Knepper, Frank T. Lange, Polyfluorinated Chemicals and Transformation Products, →ISBN, page 145:
text: When calculating the LOD, one uses the determined S/N ratio for the investigated analytical procedure [2].

glosses: Initialism of limit of detection; the smallest concentration that can be detected using a specific method.
examples: text: In practice, the LOD score is computed over a wide range of values for 6.

text: For historical reasons, the LOD score functions LOD(Θ) = log ʌ(Θ) is preferred in genetic epidemiologial applications over LR(Θ) = 2ln ʌ(Θ).

text: One would expect that LOD (logarithm of odds) scores based on small sample sizes would be unstable and contribute to lack of replication.

text: Graphical level of detail (LOD) is a set of techniques for coping with the issue of limited computational resources by reducing the graphical detail of the scene far from the observer. Simulation LOD reduces quality of the simulation at the places unseen. Contrary to graphical LOD, simulation LOD has been almost unstudied.

glosses: Initialism of level of detail.
examples: text: On very long time scale, tidal friction is responsible for a secular decrease in the Earth's rotation rate and thus for an increase in the length of day (LOD) (for more details, see for instance Brosche and Sṻndermann [1978]).
ref: 1982, S. Ponsar, V. Dehant, R. Holme, D. Jault, A. Pais, T. Van Hoolst, The Core and Fluctuations in the Earth's Rotation:
text: This long-term change in the LOD must be reomoved from the total change to obtain the short period and decade variations.

text: Artificial satellites now provide a direct measure of changes in LOD (Fig. 4. lb), and laser ranging to the Moon underpins calculations of changes in the mean angular velocity of the Moon.

glosses: Initialism of length of day.
examples: text: Additionally, commanders should note that a LOD proceeding is neither a substitute for, nor a bar to, such disciplinary action as may be warrented.
ref: 1996, Richard A. Gittins, Kirk L. Davies, The Military Commander and the Law, →ISBN, page 222:
text: LOD investigations are usually a result of a soldier or other personnel being killed or injured, and the investigation is necessary to determine if the cause was in the line of duty, or if the actions that caused the casualties or injuries were a result of neglect or misconduct and not in the line of duty.

glosses: Initialism of line of duty; an official determination of whether something occurred in the line of duty.
examples: text: While most LOD metadata employs multiple vocabularies and metadata schemas for description, for the sake of simplicity this exploration of RDF will use only a single metadata schema, Dublin Core.
ref: 2013, Erik T. Mitchell, Library Linked Data: Research and Adoption, →ISBN, page 15:
text: LOD (Linked Open Data) is an international endeavor to interlink structured data on the Web and create the Web of Data on a global level. In this paper, we report about our experience of applying existing LOD frameworks, most of which are designed to run only in European language environments, to Korean resources to build linked data.
