(Geomagnetic Elements) In solar-terrestrial terms, the components of the geomagnetic field at the surface of the earth. In SESC use, the northward and eastward components are often called the H and D components, where the D component is expressed in gammas and is derived from D (the declination angle) using the small angle approximation.

H-1B cap is the number of new H-1B visas that are issued in a fiscal year. The visas are counted as one H-1B visa per person. The number of visas issued in previous fiscal years is not considered or counted. As of 2008, the cap was 65,000 per/year. 6,800 of these visas are set aside for H-1B1 status for similar foreign workers from Chile and Singapore. There are an additional 10,500 E-3 visas for similar workers from Australia. H-1B visa renewals or visa transfers to a different employer do not count towards the cap, nor do up to 20,000 foreign workers who received a Masters' or higher from a U.S. educational institution. Furthermore, there is no limit on the number of visas issued to U.S. universities and research institutions.

All > Technology > Virtualization
the requirement that a business service be continuously operational for a desirably long length of time.
Tools like VMWare HA can, in case of a server failure, re-start virtual machines, automatically on another server. The tools also monitor the capacity of a server and choose an optimal server for the VM to run. In case of failure of the underlying physical resource, the machine is restarted, not dynamically moved, which means that there will be service downtime. This can be prevented by clustering firewalls even in virtualized network.

A monoclonal antibody that is being studied in the treatment of refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies are made in the laboratory and can locate and bind to substances in the body, including cancer cells. hA20 binds to the protein CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of immune system cell), and some types of lymphoma cells. Also called HCD20 and IMMU-106.
