How We Lose Heat to the Environment. 1  Radiation - loss of heat to the environment due to the temperature gradient (this occurs only as long as the ambient temperature is below 98.6). Factors important in radiant heat loss are the surface area and the temperature gradient.
Residential treatment center. A residential treatment center (RTC), sometimes called a rehab, is a live-in health care facility providing therapy for substance abuse, mental illness, or other behavioral problems. Residential treatment may be considered the last-ditch approach to treating abnormal psychology or psychopathology.
Real-time computing. In computer science, real-time computing (RTC), or reactive computing describes hardware and software systems subject to a real-time constraint, for example from event to system response. Real-time programs must guarantee response within specified time constraints, often referred to as deadlines.
