Wikify date March 2011 A limiting factor or limiting resource is a factor that controls a process, such as organism growth or species population , size, or distribution. The availability of food, predatation pressure, or availability of shelter are examples of factors that could be limiting for an organism.An example of a limiting factor is sunlight in the rainforest, where growth is limited to all plants in the understory unless more light becomes available. A number of potential factors could influence a biological process, but importantly only one is limiting at any one place and time. This recognition that there is always a single limiting factor is vital in ecology and the concept has parallels in numerous other processes. Some other limiting factors in biology are water availability, temperature, shelter, or predatation. See Liebig s Law . References Raghothama, K. G. & Karthikeyan, A.S. 2005 Phosphate acquisition.

Orphan date February 2009 The F factor , in diagnostic radiology , is the conversion factor between rontgen s and rad unit rads or, in more modern units, coulomb s kg to gray unit grays . In other words, it converts between the amount of ionization in air rontgens and the absorbed dose in tissue rads . The two determinants are of the F factor are the atomic number effective Z of the material and the type of ionizing radiation being considered. Since the effective Z of air and soft tissue is approximately the same, the F factor is approximately 1 for many x ray imaging applications. However, bone has an F factor of up to 4, due to its higher effective Z. References Bushberg et al., 2002. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging.
