Quante Dizionario delle unità di misura COPIA Russ Rowlett e la University of North Carolina a Chapel Hill L il numero romano 50. L, L simboli per il litro. La minuscola l è il simbolo ufficiale, ma perché è così facilmente confuso con il numero 1 del SI permette la lettera maiuscola L per essere utilizzato. A volte una versione dello script della lettera minuscola viene utilizzato, ma questo non è approvato dalla SI. laacuteb il piede tradizionale ungherese, pari a circa 31,6 centimetri (12.44 pollici) in inglese. Questa era la versione ungherese del fuszlig viennese. lavoro una unità tradizionale della zona nei paesi dell'America Latina. Il lavoro è uguale all'area di un quadrato 1000 Varas su un lato, o 0,04 Legua. Utilizzando lo standard del Texas per la vara (33 13 pollici), questo è equivalente a 177.136 acri o 71.685 ettari. La parola del lavoro significa lavoro in spagnolo, come in inglese. Come unità che rappresenta l'area che potrebbe essere coltivato da un solo agricoltore, un po 'come il vecchio nascondere inglese. Lachter una unità tradizionale di lunghezza utilizzata nelle miniere in Germania e in altre regioni di lingua tedesca. Una variazione sul Fathom. l'unità varia a livello regionale (e anche dal mio al mio), ma di solito era vicino a 2 metri (circa 78.74 pollici). Il Lachter era diviso in 8 spann o in 80 lachterzoll. lachterzoll il pollice quotlachter, quot una unità tradizionale di lunghezza pari a 180 Lachter (voce precedente). Questo era circa 2,5 cm circa lo stesso come il pollice inglese ma un po 'più corto del zoll standard tedesco. Nel 1900, un lachterzoll decimale pari a 1100 Lachter è stato utilizzato anche questo è stato di circa 2 cm (0,78 pollici o 0,76 ZOLL). lai vedere rai. lakh o lac una unità tradizionale di quantità in India, pari a 10 o 5 100 000. In India il lakh è usato comunemente invece del milione e virgole sono usati per isolare il numero di lakh per esempio, il numero 5 300 000 è chiamato 53 lakh e scritto 53,00,000. Vedi anche crore. lambda 91193 un'unità metrica di volume pari al millimetro cubo (mm 3) o microlitri (181L). Il lambda è stato usato in chimica per misurare campioni molto piccoli. Il simbolo è la lettera greca minuscola lambda. lambda 91293 un'unità di distanza relativa utilizzato nella progettazione di circuiti integrati in microelettronica. Questi circuiti sono generalmente progettati per essere scalabile, in modo che lo stesso disegno può essere ripetuto su chip sempre più piccoli come la tecnologia migliora. La dimensione caratteristica di un disegno è la larghezza del suo elemento più piccolo, e uno lambda corrisponde alla metà della dimensione caratteristica. Lambda di qualche decimo di micrometro (micron) sono comuni. Lambert (La o Lb o L) una unità CGS di luminanza. Luminanza è l'intensità luminosa di una superficie, misurando l'intensità della luce emessa (o riflessa) in tutte le direzioni per unità di area della superficie. Uno Lambert è la luminanza di una superficie che emette o riflette un lumen per centimetro quadrato. Il Lambert è una grande unità, e misurazioni pratiche tendono ad essere in millilamberts (MLA). Un calcolo geometrica mostra che una superficie di intensità di un nit emette un flusso luminoso totale di lumen pi per metro quadrato, di conseguenza, uno Lambert è uguale a 10 4 pi 3183.099 candele per metro quadrato e 1 millilambert è uguale a 3.183 099 candele per metro quadrato. Il Lambert onora il fisico tedesco Johann Lambert (1728-1777), che ha mostrato che l'illuminamento di una superficie è inversamente proporzionale al quadrato della distanza dalla sorgente luminosa. Non c'è mai stato un accordo sul simbolo per il Lambert La è una buona scelta, perché è improbabile che possa essere confuso con qualsiasi altro simbolo unità. lanac una unità tradizionale del territorio nei paesi della ex Jugoslavia. Uso varia. In Serbia, la lanac è pari a circa 0,56 ettari (1.38 acri), il che rende l'equivalente serba del Joch austriaco e jutro croato. In Croazia, invece, il lanac è una più grande unità pari a 0,7193 ettari (1.777 acri). La parola lanac mezzi a catena, presumibilmente riferendosi agli ispettori l'uso di catene in misura terreno. terreno miglio dal comune statuto miglio. pari a 5280 piedi o 1609.344 metri, è talvolta chiamato un miglio terra per distinguerlo dal miglio nautico. Allo stesso modo, un campionato terra è pari a 3 miglia terrestri (5280 yard o 4828.03 metri) come distinto da 3 miglia nautiche. corsia metro una unità di superficie coperta per rotolo onroll off navi: navi da carico progettate in modo che i contenitori o altri carichi possono essere arrotolati e disattivare i ponti della nave. Una corsia è una striscia di ponte 2 metri di larghezza. Un metro di corsia è una zona di ponte una corsia di larghezza e un metro di lunghezza, cioè 2 metri quadrati (21.528 piedi quadrati). langdo una unità tradizionale del territorio in Bhutan. Come molte unità di terra europea, il langdo è l'area che una coppia di buoi può arare in un giorno. Se il terreno è asciutto, un langdo è di circa 17 ettari, o 13 acri per una risaia bagnato il langdo è di circa 110 ettari e 14 acri. Langley (Ly) un'unità CGS di trasmissione del calore pari ad una caloria termochimica per centimetro quadrato, o esattamente 41.84 kilojoule per metro quadrato (kJm 2). Chiamato per l'astronomo americano Samuel P. Langley (1834-1906), il Langley viene utilizzato per esprimere il tasso di radiazione solare ricevuta dalla Terra. lap una unità informale di distanza utilizzata nelle competizioni atletiche. In atletica (pista), un giro è la lunghezza di un viaggio intorno una pista da corsa. Questo può variare da traccia a traccia, ma a livello della competizione seria maggior tracce hanno una lunghezza standard. Nei paesi di lingua inglese questo è stato in precedenza 14 miglia (1320 piedi o 402.336 metri). Tracce utilizzati nella maggior parte dei concorsi di oggi hanno una lunghezza di esattamente 400 metri (1312.34 piedi). In piscina, un giro è un giro della piscina, che è, per due volte la lunghezza della piscina, una distanza di esattamente 100 metri (328.08 piedi) in piscine olimpioniche, ma a soli 50 metri (164.04 piedi) in molti ricreative e breve piscine - Corso. durare un antico unità europea settentrionale utilizzato nella misurazione grandi quantità, sia in massa o di volume o di entrambi. Ultimo è il termine tedesco per il carico, un significato che sopravvive anche nella parola inglese zavorra. In generale l'ultimo è di circa 4000 sterline (circa 1800 chilogrammi) come unità di massa o 80 quintali (circa 3 metri cubi) come unità di volume. Negli Stati Uniti l'ultima di lana era già 12 sacchi a 364 sterline a sacco, o 4368 libbre (1981.3 kg). Nei Paesi Bassi, l'ultimo è una unità metrica di volume pari a esattamente 3 metri cubi. In Germania, dove l'ultimo è stato in precedenza una unità di volume pari a 2.819 metri cubi, la sua anche una unità metrica di massa pari a 2 tonnellate (circa 4409 libbre). In Gran Bretagna, un Riga ultima del legno è di 80 piedi cubi (2.265 metri cubi) di legname segato quadrati. lb, lbf, LBM lb è il simbolo tradizionale in inglese, spagnolo, italiano e per la sterlina. deriva dalla parola latina libra per la versione romana della stessa unità. Il lbf simboli e LBM sono utilizzati per distinguere tra libbre di forza e chili di massa, rispettivamente. Ld vedere distanza lunare (di seguito). lea una tradizionale unità di misura per filato, variando con il peso delle fibre nel filato. Tipicamente un lea di lana è di 80 iarde (73 metri) di un LEA di cotone o seta 120 iarde (110 metri) e una lea della biancheria 300 iarde (274 metri). Per il cotone e lana, una lea è pari a 17 matasse. Un lea è talvolta chiamato una matassa. campionato un'unità tradizionale di distanza. Derivato da un antico unità celtica e adottato dai romani come il leuga. il campionato è diventato una unità di misura comune in tutta l'Europa occidentale. E 'stato destinato a rappresentare, più o meno, la distanza di una persona potrebbe camminare in un'ora. L'unità celtica sembra essere stata piuttosto breve (circa 1,5 miglia romane, che è di circa 1,4 miglia a statuto o 2275 metri), ma l'unità è cresciuto più a lungo nel tempo. In molti casi era pari a 3 miglia. utilizzando qualsiasi versione del miglio era in corso. In mare, il campionato è stato più volte pari a 3 miglia nautiche. che è di 120 gradi 91293, 3,45 miglia terrestri, o esattamente 5556 metri. Negli Stati Uniti e in Gran Bretagna, la pratica standard è di definire il campionato per essere di 3 miglia terrestri (circa 4.828,03 metri) sulla terra o 3 miglia nautiche in mare. Tuttavia, molte occorrenze del campionato in opere in lingua inglese sono in realtà i riferimenti al campionato spagnolo (la Legua), il portoghese campionato (legoa) o il campionato francese (Lieue). Per queste unità, vedere di seguito in questa pagina. Nel classico romanzo di Jules Verne Ventimila leghe sotto i mari (Vingt Mille Lieues sous les Mers) l'unità nel titolo è il Lieue metrica francese. pari a esattamente 4000 metri. salto una unità tradizionale gallese di distanza pari a 6 piedi 9 pollici o 2.0574 metri. salto secondo un secondo in più aggiunto alla fine di una giornata (30 giugno o il 31 dicembre) per riallineare cronometraggio con il tasso di terre di rotazione. Vedere giorno per i dettagli. Leap Year un'unità di tempo civile pari a 366 giorni. Vedi l'anno 91293. In genere, il giorno della settimana in cui una data specifica cade avanza di un giorno di anno in anno. Ad esempio, 1 agosto cade il Martedì nel 2006 e il Mercoledì nel 2007. Ma dopo l'aggiunta di un giorno in più il 29 febbraio, una data salti oltre un giorno della settimana: nel 2008, un anno bisestile, il 1 ° agosto salti oltre Giovedi a cadere il Venerdì. Un anno bisestile è talvolta chiamato un anno bisestile. Legua 91193 campionato spagnolo. La Legua tradizionale è pari a 5000 Varas. che è vicino a 2,6 miglia o 4,2 chilometri. Utilizzando la definizione del Texas della vara, la Legua è 2.6305 miglia. 13889 piedi. o 4233.4 metri. Utilizzando la definizione tradizionale spagnola, sarebbe 2.597 miglia, 13712 piedi, o 4179.4 metri. Tecnicamente, questa unità è stata abolita da Filippo II nel 1568, ma è rimasto in uso piuttosto ampia, specialmente nelle Americhe. Durante la fine del 19 ° secolo e l'inizio del 18 °, un campionato di 8000 Varas (4,15 miglia o 6680 metri) era legale in Spagna. In mare, marinai spagnoli hanno usato la solita campionato marino (3 miglia nautiche o 5556 metri) o Philip Vs campionato geografica di 117,5 gradi (3.429 miglia nautiche o 6350.5 metri). Allo stato attuale, la Legua viene utilizzato in modo informale in Argentina e in altri paesi di lingua spagnola come un'unità metrica pari a esattamente 5 chilometri (3.107 miglia). Legua 91293 un'unità tradizionale spagnola di un'area pari a un legua piazza 91193. In lingua spagnola dell'America Latina e gli stati del sud-ovest del paese degli Stati Uniti è stata abitualmente misurata in Leguas, con 1 Legua pari a 25 lavori (vedi sopra) o 25 milioni piazza Varas. Utilizzando la definizione del Texas del vara come punto di partenza, la Legua è 4428.4 acri. 6.919 miglia quadrate, 1792 ettari. o 17,92 chilometri quadrati. Una cifra leggermente più grande, 4439 acri (1796 ettari), è utilizzato in California. I più grandi formati, tra il 1800 e 1900 ettari, sono stati già utilizzati in alcune parti del Sud America. In Messico e Texas, questa unità è spesso chiamato un sitio. leacutegua o legoa il campionato portoghese, pari a 3 Milhas (miglia portoghese). Questo è pari a circa 3,836 miglia statuto o 6174.1 metri. Lunghezza (lg) una unità informale della distanza. La distanza tra i concorrenti in corse di cavalli, gare di barche, e situazioni simili è naturalmente espresso in lunghezze, con una lunghezza pari alla durata media di un cavallo, in barca, ecc corse di cavalli, la lunghezza di un cavallo è spesso inteso come circa 8 piedi o 2,4 metri. Tuttavia, dal momento che i cavalli si muovono a diverse velocità la distanza tra loro mentre nei pressi del traguardo sta cambiando. Per evitare questa incertezza, la distanza riportata in lunghezze è spesso calcolato come 5 volte la differenza tra i rispettivi tempi di funzionamento in secondi. Ciò significa che la lunghezza è effettivamente interpretata come unità di tempo pari a 15 secondo. (Poiché la velocità di un cavallo purosangue spesso supera 50 piedi al secondo, questo calcolo minimizza la distanza.) Dose letale (LD) una misura utilizzata in farmacologia per esprimere la percentuale di una popolazione ucciso da una dose della sostanza studiata. La misurazione è dato spesso come pedice. Ad esempio, la potenza di un farmaco o pesticida è comunemente espressa affermando la dimensione della dose LD 50: la quantità di sostanza che uccide 50 della popolazione testata. l o li un'unità tradizionale di distanza in Cina. Un proverbio confuciana ampiamente citato erroneamente in Occidente come un viaggio di mille miglia comincia con un solo passo, dice in realtà un viaggio di mille li comincia con un solo passo. Anche se la Li tradizionale era di circa 13 miglia o 500 metri, i governi tardo imperiale della Cina hanno utilizzato un Li del 1800 Chih. che è 2115 piedi, circa 0,401 miglia, o 644.65 metri. In Cina moderna, la Li è uguale esattamente 0,5 km o 500 metri. In cinese, il chilometro in sé è spesso chiamato un gongli. o li metrica (vedi gong). liang una unità di peso tradizionale cinese. Durante il periodo coloniale europeo del liang è stato pari a 116 catty. 112 sterline, ovvero circa 37,8 grammi questo ha reso lo stesso di un tael. In Cina moderna, il liang è uguale a 110 jin o 10 Qian questo è esattamente di 50 grammi (1.7637 once). libra o libbra (lb) di una unità tradizionale di peso nei paesi di lingua italiana, spagnola e portoghese. La bilancia era l'unità romana da cui la sterlina inglese è disceso il simbolo lb per la sterlina viene da questa unità. La bilancia romana conteneva solo 12 unciae (once) e stava 0,722 inglese libbra. La libbra tradizionale italiana è spesso di dimensioni simili, ma una grande varietà di libbras sono stati utilizzati nel mercato italiano nel corso dei secoli. Le unità spagnola e portoghese sono più grandi, generalmente nel range 1,011-1,016 sterlina inglese (molto vicino a 460 grammi). La bilancia spagnola è uguale a 16 onzas, e la Bilancia portoghese è uguale a 16 onccedilas. La parola libra è talvolta usato ora per il chilogrammo, una unità molto più grande. Lieue campionato francese. Una varietà di unità Lieue sono stati utilizzati per la misurazione della terra in Francia, ma in genere queste unità erano intorno 2.4-2.5 miglia terrestri di lunghezza. Nel 18 ° secolo, l'unità giuridica è stata la Lieue de poste. definito per eguagliare 2000 tese o 2 Milles (2.4221 miglia o 3898 metri). In Francia metrica il Lieue è ora considerato uguale esattamente 4 chilometri (2.4855 miglia). Vedere campionato (sopra). In mare, il Lieue era spesso considerato uguale a 125 gradi 91293 o 2.4 miglia nautiche (4445 metri o 2.7619 miglia) questa unità è stata gradualmente sostituita dai riconosciuti a livello internazionale 3 miglia nautiche (5556 metri o 3.452 miglia). Nel classico romanzo di Jules Verne Vingt Mille Lieues sous les Mers (Ventimila leghe sotto i mari) l'unità nel titolo è la Lieue metrica di esattamente 4000 metri. luce secondo una unità di distanza uguale alla distanza percorsa luce nel vuoto in un secondo. In accordo con la definizione ufficiale del contatore. questa distanza è esattamente 299 792 458 metri (circa 186 282,4 miglia). Allo stesso modo, una luce minuto è di 60 secondi leggeri (circa 17 987 547 km o 11 176 944 miglia) e un giorno la luce è 1440 minuti di luce (circa 25.902 milioni chilometri o 16.095 miliardi miglia). luce watt un'unità di misura la potenza relativa di una sorgente luminosa. Calcolo della potenza erogata in forma di luce visibile è piuttosto complicato. Per una sorgente di luce monocromatica (singola frequenza), come un laser, la potenza in watt luce uguale 683 V (l). dove L è la lunghezza d'onda della luce e V (l) è la potenza relativa in watt per lumen (WLM) necessaria per produrre una sensazione di luminosità costante nell'occhio alla lunghezza d'onda l. I valori di V (l) sono definite dalla Commissione internazionale per l'illuminazione (CIE). Il valore massimo di V (l) è 1683 WLM 1.464 mWlm alla lunghezza d'onda l 555 nanometri (nm), la lunghezza d'onda a cui l'occhio è più sensibile. Quando la sorgente trasporta la luce su una gamma di frequenze (come una lampadina fa), è necessario calcolare 683 volte l'integrale di V (l) moltiplicato per la frazione di energia fornita alla lunghezza d'onda l. Vedi anche Candela e Talbot. anno luce (ly) una unità di distanza utilizzata in astronomia. Un anno luce è la distanza percorsa dalla luce in un anno attraverso il vuoto (e, naturalmente, la maggior parte dell'universo è vicino ad essere vuoto). Nella definizione ufficiale dell'Unione Astronomica Internazionale, l'anno luce è riferisce all'anno Giuliano di esattamente 365,25 giorni o 31 557 600 secondi e la velocità della luce c definito 299.792.458 metri al secondo. Così uno anno luce equivale esattamente 9 460 730 472 580,8 km, o di 9 460 730 472 580 800 metri. Un anno luce è circa 5.880 miliardi di miglia. ligne una unità tradizionale di distanza in paesi di lingua francese, pari a 112 Pouce (pollici francese) e corrispondente da vicino alla linea inglese 91193. La ligne svizzero è utilizzato in tutto il mondo da orologiai che equivale a circa 2,256 millimetri (0,0888 pollici) ed è diviso in 12 douziegravemes. In inglese la ligne è spesso pronunciata magra. ligula un'unità romana di volume di liquido pari a 148 sestario o circa 11.07 millilitri. La parola significa letteralmente una leccata. Linea (Li o) 91193 un'unità tradizionale di distanza pari a 112 pollici (circa 2,1167 millimetri). Per misurare lo spessore di pulsanti, esiste anche una linea più piccola pari a 140 pollici (0,635 millimetri). La linea si chiama ligne (vedi sopra) in francese, la linea in spagnolo, il Linie in tedesco, ed il liniya in russo. Linea (Li) 91293 un antico nome per il maxwell. l'unità CGS di flusso magnetico. L'unità è stata chiamata linea perché i campi magnetici sono stati tradizionalmente rappresentati da linee raffiguranti la direzione del campo l'idea era di quantificare la forza di queste linee. Si tratta di una piccola unità, così i campi sono stati spesso misurati in MegaLines una MegaLine è pari a 0,01 Weber. Linea 91393 una tradizionale unità di superficie utilizzata nella stampa e pubblicità, pari a 114 pollici (1.814 millimetri) moltiplicato per la larghezza della linea di stampa. Questo uso è breve per la linea agata. piede lineare (o il piede lineare) (ft o lf) termini usati impropriamente per descrivere un lunghezza di un piede di qualsiasi oggetto lungo e stretto. Il termine corretto è piede lineare la parola lineare si riferisce ad una linea di discendenza, non la lunghezza. Tavole, tubi e recinzioni sono oggetti tipici misurati e venduti dal piede lineare. Nell'industria movimento, un piede lineare è una lunghezza di un piede di un furgone in movimento, di solito un volume di circa 72 piedi cubi (circa 2 metri cubi). Occasionalmente il piede lineare termine è usato come un nome alternativo per il piede bordo. ma questo è appropriato solo se la scheda è larga 12 pollici. Termini come metro lineare e cantiere lineare sono utilizzati in modo simile per indicare lunghezze un metro o un cantiere. collegare una unità tradizionale di distanza utilizzata dagli ispettori, pari a 0,01 catena. In Gran Bretagna, un collegamento è esattamente 0,66 piedi. o 7,92 pollici. o circa 20,12 centimetri. Nel brevetto entrambe le catene 66 piedi e 100 piedi sono stati utilizzati per una catena 100 piedi il collegamento è lo stesso del piede. Lippie una unità tradizionale di volume in Scozia, pari al 14 scozzesi beccare. Questo è stato di circa 2,27 litri per grano, piselli, o fagioli e circa 3,04 litri per orzo o avena. litro o litro (L o L) dell'unità metrica comune del volume. Il litro è stato originariamente definito pari alla esattamente un decimetro cubo, cioè, al volume di un cubo 0,1 metro (o 10 centimetri) su un lato. (Questa definizione reso uguale anche al volume occupato da un chilogrammo di acqua.) Sfortunatamente, gli oggetti fisici costruiti per rappresentare lo strumento e chilogrammo disaccordo leggermente. Come misurato dal contatore standard ed chilogrammo standard, il litro di serie si è rivelata circa 1.000 028 decimetri cubi. Questa discrepanza afflitto il sistema metrico per lungo tempo. Nel 1901 un congresso internazionale ha accettato la discrepanza e formalmente definito il litro di essere esattamente 1.000 028 dm 3. Nessuno era particolarmente felice con una definizione così imbarazzante, e nel 1964 la CGPM ha abrogato la definizione. Nel SI. volumi devono essere misurate in metri cubi o power-di-dieci multipli, non in litri. Tuttavia, il SI afferma che il litro può essere impiegato come un nome speciale per decimetro cubo. Nel corso di questo dizionario, il litro viene utilizzato come nome per esattamente 1 decimetro cubo, 1000 centimetri cubici, o 0,001 metro cubo. Nella sua rinnovata veste come il decimetro cubo, il litro è di circa 61,023 744 pollici cubici. Rispetto alle unità di volume di rito, il litro è un po 'più di un quarto degli Stati Uniti liquido (1.056 688 qt o 33.814 once), ma un po' meno di un quarto degli Stati Uniti a secco (0.908 08 qt) o un litro imperiale britannico (0,879 89 qt o 35.195 once). Il suo nome deriva da una unità di volume francese, la litron. che è stato a sua volta derivato dal litra latino. Il simbolo originale per il litro è stata la lettera minuscola l, ma dal 1979 il caso L superiore è anche stata accettata. Il Dipartimento del Commercio statunitense specifica che L essere utilizzato, almeno da parte delle imprese, al fine di evitare confusione con il numero 1. L'unità è scritto litro negli Stati Uniti e in Gran Bretagna litro ci sono molte altre grafie in varie lingue (vedi ortografia di unità metriche ). atmosfera litro (Lmiddotatm) un'unità di lavoro o energia utilizzata nello studio dei gas confinati. Il comportamento dei gas è descritto, ad una prima approssimazione, dalla legge dei gas PV nRT ideale. La legge del gas ideale è davvero una equazione energia in cui il lato sinistro, pressione P (in atmosfere) volte volume V (in litri), misura l'energia potenziale nel gas confinato. Una atmosfera litro è pari a 101.325 joule. 0.09605 Btu o 74.73 sterline piedi. litri per 100 chilometri (L100 km) una misura del tasso di consumo di carburante per i veicoli utilizzati ampiamente in Europa e altrove. Anche se questa unità è specificato nei regolamenti di diversi paesi, che viola le regole SI per unità di denominazione. L'unità SI equivalente è centilitri per chilometro (CLKm). Nella consumi brevetto è indicato come numero di miglia guidato per brevetto gallone di combustibile consumato un consumo pari x litri ogni 100 km pari esattamente 100 x litri per chilometro o circa 235,215 x miglia per gallone. Nel Commonwealth britannico, il consumo di carburante è stato (ed a volte ancora è) misurata in miglia per gallone imperiale x litri per 100 chilometri è pari a 282.481 x miglia per gallone imperiale. litri per mil (LMIL) una misura del tasso di consumo di carburante per i veicoli utilizzati in Svezia. Il mil Scandinavian 4 è pari a 10 km, in modo da 1 litro per mil equivale a 10 litri per 100 chilometri. livre una unità tradizionale di peso nei paesi di lingua francese e in Grecia. Il Livre corrisponde alla sterlina inglese e alla Bilancia spagnola (vedi sopra). Il livre è diviso in 2 vinacce o in 16 onces. Il livre francese varia da mercato a mercato, ma lo standard ufficiale dal 1350 l'introduzione del sistema metrico è stato il Livre poids de vinaccia o livre de Paris di 489,5 grammi (1.079 sterline inglesi). In Francia moderna, livre viene utilizzato come unità metrica informale pari esattamente 500 grammi o 0,5 kg (1.1023 libbre). Il livre tradizionale greca è anche circa 500 grammi. caricare un tradizionale, generalmente informali, unità di volume. In Stati Uniti paesaggio e alcuni commerci della costruzione di un carico spesso significa un cantiere cubo (0,764,555 mila m 3). Nel linguaggio ordinario nel brevetto un carico spesso significa il volume di un camioncino, un'unità variabile. In Gran Bretagna prima ai tempi moderni, un carico era a volte una unità standard, ma varia con la merce in corso. Una dimensione tipica era di 40 quintali (circa 1,4 metri cubi). lungo quintale il quintale britannico. pari a 112 libbre. long ton ton tradizionale britannico. pari a 2240 sterline. longword un'unità di informazioni generalmente pari a 2 parole 91293. lotto una unità tradizionale di peso in paesi di lingua tedesca, pari a circa 12 once o 15 grammi. Lot è la parola tedesca per un Plumbbob piombo, per cui l'unità rappresenta un piccolo peso di piombo. unità di colore Lovibond vedere gradi Lovibond. simbolo LPF per litri per colore, una specifica trovato su servizi igienici. regolamenti governativi degli Stati Uniti ora richiedono idraulici di installare servizi igienici solo a basso filo di 6.0 Lpf o meno. 1 Lpf 0,264 Stati Uniti gallone per filo (GPF). abbreviazione lpi per le linee per pollice, una unità utilizzata per indicare la risoluzione dei dispositivi di visualizzazione (come schermi televisivi o monitor del computer), o di indicare la spaziatura tra le righe delle pagine stampate. tirare 91193 un vecchio nome inglese per una canna da 1 (5.5 yard o 5.0292 metri). In alcune parti d'Inghilterra questa unità ha rappresentato una canna più lunga di 7 yard (6.4008 metri), una unità anche chiamato il grande occhiello. portarsi 91293 una scatola superficiale o cassa per prodotti come le ciliegie, uva, o pesche. La dimensione di un capocorda varia con l'elemento che contiene. anse tipiche detengono circa 16-28 libbre (7-13 kg) di prodotti in un volume di circa 13 bushel (circa 12 litri). Questa unità sembra essere particolarmente comune in mercati di prodotti nel Midwest degli Stati Uniti Lumberg un vecchio nome per il Talbot. l'unità di luminosa (light) energia pari a 1 lumen secondo. lumen (lm) l'unità SI per misurare il flusso di luce prodotta da una sorgente di luce o ricevuto da una superficie. L'intensità di una sorgente luminosa viene misurata in candele. Un lumen rappresenta il flusso totale di luce emessa, uguale all'intensità in candele moltiplicato per l'angolo solido in steradianti (1 (4183 pi) di una sfera) in cui la luce viene emessa. Così il flusso totale di una luce sola candela, se la luce è emessa uniformemente in tutte le direzioni, è 4183 lumen pi. Lumen è una parola latina per la luce. lumen ore (lm h) un'unità di quantità di luce, pari ad un lumen di flusso luminoso continuata per un'ora. Il secondo lumen (lm s) è definito in modo simile. giorno lunare un altro nome per il giorno di marea. una unità di tempo pari a 24 ore 50 minuti utilizzati nelle previsioni marea. distanza lunare (LD) la distanza media tra la Terra e la Luna (tecnicamente, la lunghezza del semiasse maggiore dell'orbita Lune). Questa unità, pari a circa 384 401 km o 238 855 miglia. viene utilizzato per misurare le distanze di mancanza di asteroidi che passano vicino alla Terra. mese lunare, i nomi Lunazione per l'intervallo medio tra due successivi nuove lune, una unità di tempo pari a 29.530 59 giorni. Vedere mese 91193. lusec una unità di energia utilizzata per la prestazione o perdite di pompe per vuoto. Uno lusec rappresenta un flusso di un litro al secondo ad una pressione di un micrometro (o micron) di mercurio o 1 L183181mHgs. Dal momento che u è talvolta usato come un simbolo per il micron, il nome del gruppo è un acronimo per litro-micronsecond. Una lusec è equivalente a 0,001 315 6 atm183cm 3 s o 133,3 Pa183cm 3 s, che è la stessa di 133,3 microwatt. lucentezza, lucentezza, lustrum una tradizionale unità di tempo pari a 5 anni. Nell'antica Roma il Lustrum stata una cerimonia di espiazione e di purificazione per l'intera popolazione della città, effettuata ogni 5 anni dopo il completamento del censimento.

This means that medically released CAF members who meet certain eligibility criteria, are entitled to be considered for employment in priority over other potential candidates for a position. Eligibility Certain CAF members who release for medical reasons have a right to appointment in priority to all persons, other than those referred to in section 40 and subsections 41(1) to (4) of the PSEA (referred to as the Act ), to any position in the public service for which the Commission is satisfied that the person meets the essential qualifications referred to in Paragraph 30(2)(a) of the Act .

The CF RTW program provides a framework for enhanced communication between the member, the medical authorities and the Chain of Command, while respecting privacy expectations. The CF RTW program is a rehabilitation initiative that helps convalescing members ease back into the workplace by adapting schedules and duties to their level of ability. The more supportive the work environment is, the greater the potential for success. Eligibility The CF RTW Program applies to members of the Regular Force and the Primary Reserve. Extensive research demonstrates that the probability of returning to work decreases significantly with the length of time away from work. Ill and injured individuals who are away for more than six months are 50 less likely to return to any type of work, when compared to individuals who are returned to work earlier in some capacity or another. The CF RTW program facilitates the restoration of the physical and mental health of injured or ill CAF members by helping them reintegrate into the workplace as soon as medically possible. The ultimate goal is to return members to their regular duties as soon as possible via a transitional employment period of duties modified in duration andor scope. Participation Any member who suffers an injury or contracts an illness that temporarily or permanently limits hisher ability to perform duties at their designated place of employment should participate in the CF RTW Program. The actual CF RTW process may vary from unit to unit. The RTW Program has many benefits for the ill or injured member. Quick intervention through a planned and gradual reintegration into the workplace gives the member the ability to actively participate in hisher rehabilitation. It also facilitates the responsibility for treatment. A progressive RTW plan provides meaningful work in a supportive environment and a social support network. The member will gain motivation through self-satisfaction, trust, and confidence.

Posting to Joint Personnel Support Unit (JPSU) and the Service Personnel Holding List (SPHL) References CANFORGEN 11411, Defence Administrative Orders and Directives (DAOD) 5060-0 A posting to the JPSU provides an ill or injured Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) member with the opportunity to focus on recovery and rehabilitation, with the primary aim of returning to duty. The posting of ill and injured members to the JPSU also allows Commanding Officers to focus on unit operational imperatives, with a secondary possibility that a vacant position may be filled via the posting process by the ill or injured members career manager. Eligibility Ill and injured Regular Force members are eligible for posting to the JPSU. Under certain conditions, Reserve Force members may be eligible for posting to the JPSU. Posting to the JPSU is based on a prognosis of restricted employment due to medical reasons for a period of six months or more. A posting to the JPSU must be recommended by the unit Commanding Officer, and supported by the BaseWing Surgeon or a delegated senior medical officer. The approving authority for posting Regular Force personnel to the JPSU is Director of Military Careers and it is the appropriate Command Headquarters (HQ) for Reserve Force personnel. CANFORGEN 11411 provides further detail on posting to the JPSU. With the stand-up of the JPSU, the purpose of the SPHL has changed significantly. Prior to 2008, the SPHL was simply an administrative means by which Commanding Officers (COs) of Regular Force units could maintain operational effectiveness within their units by requesting the posting of replacement personnel for positions which were deemed essential. With the stand-up of the JPSU, the focus has been placed on determining how to best provide support for an injured or ill CAF member. The possibility of a replacement has become a secondary consideration. All CAF members who were previously placed on the SPHL are now posted to the JPSU. Posting to JPSU A CAF member posted to the JPSU is under command and control of the JPSU. The member is assigned to the Support Platoon of the nearest Integrated Personnel Support Centre (IPSC). The Support Platoon will utilize its resources to ensure that the member is provided with every reasonable opportunity to return to active duty. Admittedly, a return to duty may not be possible for everyone, and for those CAF personnel who will eventually be medically released, the efforts of the IPSC team will shift to providing a smooth transition upon release. The daily routine for ill and injured CAF members posted to the JPSU will be guided by the medical employment limitations (MELs) documented by CAF Health Services. Within the guidelines of the MELs, personnel posted to the JPSU will be supported in their treatment and recovery by the leadership of the IPSC Support Platoon, and will be expected to participate in return to work (RTW) and other treatment programs to enhance their return to active duty or to ensure a smooth transition. Administration CAF members posted to the JPSU are subject to all administrative and disciplinary policies, including leave and Performance Evaluation Reports (PERs). They are considered on duty unless in hospital, on sick leave or other authorized leave. In compliance with the medical employment limitations, members posted to the JPSU are required to report for duty, on a full or part-time basis, based on the IPSC Support Platoons established schedule of working hours, as well as the approved modified work plan developed in consultation with the approved MELs.

CFSP is calculated as seven days of pay for the members substantive rank at release per year of eligible service, including partial year, to a 30 year maximum in the members lifetime. For CAF members in the substantive rank of Colonel and above, and Lieutenant - Colonel of the legal branch and above, the accumulation of years of eligible service ended on 1 Oct 2011, and for all other CAF members, with the exception of military judges, the accumulation of years of eligible service ended on 1 Mar 2012. The accumulation of years of eligible service continues for members who are released for medical reasons (release Items 3(a) and 3(b) under QRampO 15.01), and released involuntarily (release Items 5(b), 5(d), 5(e), or 5(c) where the member has not reached retirement age under Queens Regulations and Orders (QRampO) Chapter 15 but has completed the period of obligatory service because of a change in classification, trade specifications, or in the establishment requirements of the CF), or who is released by reason of death. In the event of death, Severance Pay is payable to the members service estate. During the release process, the members Release section completes the CFSP calculation form and advises the member of hisher entitlement. Subsequently, the Release section forwards all release documentation to Director Military Careers Administration (DMCA) for audit of the members file. Once the audit has been completed, DMCA advises Director Military Pay and Allowances Released Personnel Pay Office (DMPAP RPPO) of the members entitlement for payment. This benefit is administered by DMCA and is paid by the DMPAP RPPO at National Defence Headquarters (NDHQ). For additional information, call toll free 1-800-773-7705. Medical Treatment and Expenses Queens Regulations and Orders (QRampO) Chapter 34.07, Entitlement to Medical Care This section describes the entitlement to medical treatment and coverage of medical expenses for Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members dependent upon their terms of service. Eligibility Members of the Regular Force, Reserve Force on Class C Service and extended Class BService are eligible for comprehensive medical care at public expense, while so employed. They are not eligible to care for the treatment of chronic non-service related conditions. Reserve Force Members with Medical Conditions Attributed to Service ndash The extent of medical care provided andor paid for by the Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS) to Reserve Force members who develop medical conditions as a result of their service is briefly described below. Eligible Reserve members, while still employed in the CAF, are entitled to medical care at public expense to treat any condition that is attributable to service. Specifically, after the employment period has been completed, a Commander of a command may, upon recommendation of the attending physician, authorize the extension of the period of service in order to provide medical care at public expense to a Reserve member whose need for medical care is attributed to the performance of duty. Where there are reasonable grounds to believe that the condition is attributable to military service, and unless the Reserve member has been released from the CAF, the CFHS should continue to provide medical care to the Reserve member, as long as the officer commanding a command approves the extension of the period of service, even if relatedness to service has yet to be conclusively determined. To ensure continuity of care, the treatment may be jointly sharedcoordinated by the BaseWing Surgeon and a civilian family doctor. BaseWing Surgeons must oversee medical care provided at public expense. Medical care provided at public expense to Reserve members must conform to CFHS standards, comparable to the medical care provided to Regular Force members. Release ndash A member of the CAF is not entitled to medical care at CF expense beyond the effective date of release. Medical treatment and expenses are entitlements under the responsibility of the Commander CF Health Services Group. The point of contact is the closest military Health Services Centre. Planning Ahead: Wills and Estate Planning References National Defence Act (NDA) - Section 42, Queens Regulations and Orders (QRampO) Chapter 25, Defence Administrative Orders and Directives (DAOD) 7011-0, 7011-1, 7012-0, and 7012-1 Estate planning is the whole process of arranging your personal affairs in contemplation of your death or mentalphysical incapacity. Proper estate planning will ensure that your family members have less to worry about in these circumstances. A well laid-out estate plan ensures that your affairs are looked after according to your wishes and that your family is looked after. For example, you will have to consider whether you have enough money to cover expenses, such as the cost of your funeral and probate fees, should it be necessary to have your Will verified through the court system. Other expenses such as any outstanding personal loans, income tax, bills, rent or mortgage payments will also have to be paid. If you are supporting a family member, planning for the payment of these expenses as well as your familys general living expenses, such as groceries, is critical. Proper estate planning includes preparing a will and an affidavit of execution, tax planning, completing a power of attorney (separate versions for financial affairsproperty management and personal care, when you are out of country or otherwise unable to attend to your own affairs), and purchasing life insurance. Your Will ndash Everyone should have a Will. Dying intestate (without a valid Will) means that you have no say in how your Estate is administered and how your assets are distributed. Therefore, if you have specific ideas regarding how you want your estate settled and to whom you want, your assets distributed, put them in writing. A properly executed Will is a legal document that reflects your wishes for the distribution of your estate. While you can draft a Will on your own, you should seek legal advice from a lawyernotary because there are certain formal legal requirements that must be followed when completing a Will. If these requirements are not followed, the Will may be invalid. A lawyernotary who specializes in estate planning will be able to provide you with additional advice relative to your estate planning. Before seeing a lawyernotary, prepare an inventory of your assets and try to calculate their value. Make sure that you take into account any outstanding mortgage on your property. Also, make a list of your Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) and any life insurance policies you may have, and find out if you do not know whom you have designated as your beneficiary on these policies. Take your time when preparing your Will. It is one of the most important documents you will sign. In addition, you should review your Will periodically as personal circumstances change. You may need to make a new Will if you experience a change in marital status or upon the birth or adoption of a child(ren). A Will made ten, five or even two years ago may not reflect your present wishes or financial situation. You will need to appoint an executor and an alternate executor. The executor is the person designated by the Will to administer your estate in accordance with your Will. The executor will carry out your wishes and take care of tasks such as filing tax returns, protecting your property and paying expenses. You should discuss with your lawyernotary who should be your executor and how much heshe will be paid for carrying out that duty. Some people choose an individual such as a spouse, other family members or a close friend. Other people choose a trust company because they have expertise and are impartial when carrying out duties of an executor, which may minimize taxes. Living Will ndash The expression living will is sometimes used to refer to a document in which you stipulate your desire about treatments if you become ill or injured and cant communicate your wishes. It is quite common, for instance, to write a living will saying that you do not want to be kept alive on artificial life supports if there is no hope of recovery. The term advance directive is also frequently used to refer to such a document. The expression proxy directive is also utilized to describe a document that combines a Power of Attorney and a living will. Tax planning ndash Tax planning is an important part of estate planning. There are several ways to reduce estate taxes, such as charitable donations or RRSPs to spouses or dependent children. It is a complex area, so discuss it with your financial advisor, lawyernotary or accountant. Powers of attorney ndash Besides your Will, you should discuss preparing a power of attorney with your lawyernotary. This is a legal document, which you sign, and have witnessed authorizing a person or persons to make decisions for you should you ever become incapable of making these decisions for yourself. There are two kinds of powers of attorney: one for managing financial affairs or property, and another for personal care. The latter type allows you to organize your affairs so that someone you trust will have authority to decide about your health care, nutrition, shelter, clothing, hygiene and safety if you cannot. Life insurance ndash Amongst other things, life insurance can help provide your family with replacement income after your death, as well as cover your final expenses and debts you may have. Unlike the proceeds of your RRIF, which are transferred to your estate and taxed, the proceeds of your life insurance policy are tax-free. To be insurable, however, you must be healthy. Keep in mind that your premiums will vary depending on such factors as your health, age and coverage amount. There are different types of life insurance, including term insurance, permanent insurance and universal life. Consult a financial advisor for more information and to help you do a need analysis. It is a good idea to comparison-shop and find the product that best suits your needs and your budget. Tips Make sure that your financial affairs are in order and your records are up-to-date at all times Make sure your executor knows where to find your records Canada Pension Plan (CPP)Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) pays out a lump sum death benefit to your surviving spouse or estate and There are several ways you can minimize your estate costs, such as establishing a spousal trust and designating beneficiaries on your RRSPs, Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs) and life insurance policies. Consult a financial advisor to help you consider what is right for you. The Canadian Forces (CF) Service Will ndash The CAF strongly urges every member to make a Will on enrolment and, review, update their Will upon the birth or adoption of a child(ren) and to make a new Will upon any change in marital status (see DAOD 7012-0). However, a Will (referred to as the service will) may be made at any time during service and placed in safekeeping with the CAF or elsewhere. The CAF provides a simple Will Form, which is a very basic Will, appropriate primarily for single CAF members. A lawyernotary may be consulted to make a Will with specific provisions, including but not limited to trusts and guardianship for children and additional bequeaths. A private Will may be deposited with the CAF for safekeeping. Note the following reminders: Ratify or replace any Will made before reaching the age of majority (this age varies between provinces and territories) Update a Will upon the birth or adoption of a child(ren) Make a new Will upon marrying, unless the existing Will was made in contemplation of the marriage and states this clearly and Make a new Will upon divorce. If a Will has been deposited with the CAF for safekeeping, the member is entitled to receive it or to have it forwarded to hisher address upon release. It is important to complete any necessary documentation in this regard. Canadian Forces Member Assistance Program (CFMAP) The CFMAP is a partnership between the Department of National Defence (DND) and Health Canadas Emergency Preparedness and Occupational Health Directorate Employee Assistance Services (EAS). The CFMAP offers confidential, voluntary, short term counselling to assist with resolving many of todays stresses at home and in the work place. The CFMAP should not be regarded as treatment for mental illness or addictions. Eligibility Regular Force ndash Regular Force members and their immediate family members, spouse, partner and dependant children of the member, have direct access to the CFMAP telephone counselling service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reserve Force ndash Certain members of the Reserve component, Cadet Instructor Cadre (CIC), Cadets, Canadian Rangers and certain family members of the preceding groups may also have access. In order for Reserve Force members and their family members to receive full assistance under this program, the situation or issue for which assistance is sought must be directly linked to service in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). Notwithstanding this condition, the individuals from any of these groups may contact CFMAP and receive an initial assessment followed by an appropriate referral. Parents and Siblings ndash Parents and siblings of CAF Regular and Reserve Force members who are injured or who die while in service have direct access to the CFMAP telephone counselling service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are limitations that apply to assistance provided under CFMAP. Sessions will normally consist of a face-to-face meeting, but, if circumstances dictate, the meeting between the CAF member or family member and the counsellor may be conducted by telephone. Where service beyond the scope of this program is required, CAF members, and where applicable their families with the members consent, may be referred to CF Health Services. However, should they prefer to use civilian services, all costs will be borne by the CAF member. Entitled individuals residing in Canada and the USA can access this program through the toll free telephone number 1-800-268-7708 (TDD 1-800-567-5803). Entitled individuals residing in other countries must dial the International Access Code of the country from which they are calling and then 800-268-7708. This line is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by a fully bilingual, trained counsellor. The role of the telephone counsellor is to refer the client to a counsellor in private practice for face-to-face counselling, and if the client is in crisis, to provide counselling over the phone. Contact will be made with the client within 48 hours and an appointment will take place within five days or sooner in crisis situations.

The case management relationship is an organized and collaborative problem solving process that enables those who need it to access services and supports to optimize their level of independence and quality of life. In the event of serious injury or death, VAC will work closely with the CAF Designated Assistant andor the CAF Case Manager to provide the necessary supports. VAC Pastoral Outreach Program Similar to the pastoral care Military Chaplains provide to those who are serving in uniform, this program assists retired CAF personnel and their immediate family, when a pastoral need arises. This service is not intended to replace the ministry of civilian parish clergy. When, however, an individual is without the immediate ministry of a member of the clergy, this program may provide assistance. While it is primarily designed for situations when former members are dealing with end of life issues (i. e. dying, death, bereavement, etc.) it is not necessarily restricted to this area alone. An important feature of the program is its capacity to provide a swift response with a very high quality of pastoral care. The clergy are carefully selected and specifically mandated for this ministry. Many of them are retired CAF Padres, or Royal Canadian Legion Reserve Chaplains, who have personal familiarity with the military way of life. Also available are Emergency Medical Services chaplains, Police and Firefighter chaplains. Clergy are paid a standard honorarium for their services and are also reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred. Former CAF members, both Regular and Reserve Force and their immediate family members may request services by calling 1-800-504-4156.

Eligibility A veteran or family member may contact a Legion Service Officer directly to request assistance. Assistance for Veterans Affairs Canada Applicants ndash The Legion Command Service Officer can provide assistance from the first application with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) through to providing assistance and representation at Appeal with the Veterans Review and Appeal Board (VRAB). Approximately 10 of all first applications adjudicated by VAC have been staffed by a Legion Command Service Officer while Legion Command Service Officers present approximately 400 Reviews and Appeals to the VRAB annually. Veteran Housing ndash Legion Housing is available at approximately 150 sites across Canada with 7,700 housing units. These units are available to veterans.

Homeless Veterans ndash The Legion continues to assist veterans, including those veterans who are either homeless or at-risk (i. e. precariously housed and at risk of homelessness). BCYukon Command has dedicated housing for homeless veterans such as Cockrell House in Victoria and Veterans Manor in Vancouvers east side. Ontario Command implemented Operation Leave the Streets Behind program to assist homeless and at risk veterans. This program has helped more than 50 veterans just in the last year.

Outward Bound Canada has developed a program designed to reach out to veterans and perhaps aid in their integration back into civilian life. This program, open to all veterans including still serving, is sponsored by Alberta and Northwest Territories Command. The cost of the program and all associated travel costs will be covered. The Alberta and Northwest Territories Command continues to provide financial assistance to the Edmonton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) Child Program (Children with Parents who Experienced Trauma).

United Nations (UN) Military - Death and Disability Compensation The UN has a Death and Disability Compensation program for members on UN missions. However, it makes a key distinction between medical claims for United Nations Military Observers (UNMOs), and those for contingent members, including staff officers. Eligibility Regular Force and Reserve Force Class C members may be entitled to UN Military Death and Disability Compensation. For UNMOs, the member can process claims directly to the Permanent Mission of Canada to the United Nations (address below). For contingent members, they are treated differently with regard to a claim. The member cannot make an application as it is left to the discretion of the Government of Canada (GoC) to submit a claim on behalf of the member. It is to be noted, under current legislation, a claim submitted to the UN, be it by a member under the UNMOs status or the GoC on behalf of a member, the payment will be used as an offset against any payment for a similar claim to Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). To this date the GoC has not made any representation to the UN on behalf of any members of a formed UnitContingent. As such for disabilities sustained by Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members while deployed to the UN as part of a formed UnitContingent (including staff officers), a claim should be submitted to VAC under the auspice of the Disability Award Program in accordance with the New Veterans Charter (see Section 1 - veterans. gc. ca ). UNMO Claims ndash Medical claims must be submitted within four months of the injury or death of an UNMO, or onset of the illness. In exceptional circumstances, the Secretary-General may accept for consideration a claim made at a later date. It is important to note that the documentation accompanying the claim will be critical in demonstrating its validity and ensuring its approval in a reasonably timely manner. Therefore, either a combination of, or at least one of the following, should be provided: UN accident report UN Board of Inquiry UN medical documentation UN NOTICAS (Notification of Casualty), or Similar type of document or report. Claims must be sent to the Canadian Mission at the address provided below. Subsequent correspondence and enquiries should also be directed to the Canadian Mission, either by letter, facsimile 212-848-1196, or telephone 212-848-1157. It is stressed that the UN medical claims process is particularly slow. Claims will usually take years to resolve. In addition, the UN has yet to establish a policy to address Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) claims. As a result, PTSD claims at this time may be submitted, however they will not be adjudicated for an indefinite period. PTSD claims should nevertheless be processed in order to ensure they are in the possession of the UN. UNMO Claims should be forwarded by mail to the following address: Deputy Military Adviser Permanent Mission of Canada to the United Nations One Dag Hammarskjoumlld Plaza 885 Second Avenue, 14th Floor New York, NY 10017 USA SISIP Financial Services (SISIP FS) As a division of the Canadian Armed Forces Personnel and Family Support Services (CFPFSS) since 1969, SISIP FS provides tailored and unbiased financial solutions, suited to meet the needs of serving and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) community.
