4Near miss (safety) — See Close Call, for the 2002 film. A near miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury, illness, or damage – but had the potential to do so. Only a fortunate break in the chain of events prevented an injury, fatality or damage; in… …
5Near-field scanning optical microscope — Near field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM/SNOM) is a microscopic technique for nanostructure investigation that breaks the far field resolution limit by exploiting the properties of evanescent waves. This is done by placing the detector very… …
6Near infrared spectroscopy — (NIRS) is a spectroscopic method utilising the near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (from about 800 nm to 2500 nm). Typical applications include pharmaceutical, medical diagnostics (including blood sugar and oximetry), food and… …
7Near-infrared spectroscopy — Near IR absorption spectrum of dichloromethane showing complicated overlapping overtones of mid IR absorption features. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a spectroscopic method that uses the near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum …
8Near-Earth asteroid — Near Earth asteroids (NEAs) are asteroids whose orbits are close to Earth s orbit. All near Earth asteroids spend part of their orbits between 0.983 and 1.3 astronomical units away from the Sun. Some near Earth asteroids orbits intersect Earth s… …
9Very low frequency — or VLF refers to radio frequencies (RF) in the range of 3 kHz to 30 kHz. Since there is not much bandwidth in this band of the radio spectrum, only the very simplest signals are used, such as for radio navigation. Also known as the myriameter… …
