Growth in the experimental system used to characterize the 120-min lag phase of S. Typhimurium. (A) Overview of system for obtaining lag-phase cells. See Materials and Methods for details. (B) Growth curve showing lag phase in the experimental culture flask. Lag time was determined to be 2.09 h (n = 3).
CROS hearing aid. A Contralateral Routing Of Signals (CROS) hearing aid is a type of hearing aid that is used to treat unilateral hearing loss. It takes sound from the ear with poorer hearing and transmits to the ear with better hearing. Most systems are now wireless and are either behind the ear or custom built in-the-ear systems.
An auditory prosthesis is a device that substitutes for or enhances the ability to hear. It is more commonly called a hearing aide. The word prosthesis comes via New Latin from the Greek prostithenai meaning to add to, or to put in addition.. The plural of prosthesis is prostheses.
