Terminal plasma half-life is the time required to divide the plasma concentration by two after reaching pseudo-equilibrium, and not the time required to eliminate half the administered dose. When the process of absorption is not a limiting factor, half-life is a hybrid parameter controlled by plasma clearance and extent of distribution. In contrast, when the process of absorption is a limiting factor, the terminal half-life reflects rate and extent of absorption and not the elimination process (flip-flop pharmacokinetics). The terminal half-life is especially relevant to multiple dosing regimens, because it controls the degree of drug accumulation, concentration fluctuations and the time taken to reach equilibrium.
Terminal half-life is the time it takes for the concentration of a drug in the body to decrease by half during the elimination phase, after reaching steady state. It is used to estimate how long a drug will stay in the body once the dosing is stopped. Terminal half-life is influenced by factors such as drug metabolism and elimination rate.

What is an isotope that the time it takes it to decay to half its original mass?
c.half-life
What is the half life of promethium?
The half-life of promethium-145 is approximately 17.7 years. Promethium-147 has a half-life of about 2.62 years.
Compared to the length of time for the first half-life of a sample of a radioactive isotope the length of time for the second half-life is?
The length of time for the second half-life is the same as the first half-life. Each half-life represents the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay. This process continues exponentially with each subsequent half-life.
Who describes an isotopes half life?
Half-life is described in time units.
When was Planet Half-Life created?
Planet Half-Life was created in 1999.
What is the half life morphine sulfate er?
It's terminal elimination half-life after intravenous administration is normally 2 to 4 hours. In some studies involving longer periods of plasma sampling, a longer terminal half-life of about 15 hours was reported.

Is half life opposing force on Playstation 2?
No, only Half-Life and Half-Life: Decay.
Is there more blood in half life or Half Life Source?
Ah, my friend, in both versions of Half-Life, there's the same amount of blood - just enough to keep things interesting but not too much to overwhelm you. Remember, it's all about enjoying the experience and immersing yourself in the beauty of the game world. Just keep painting those happy little pixels, and you'll have a wonderful time exploring both Half-Life and Half-Life Source.
The time it takes for half of the radioactive element to decay is the element's what?
The time it takes for half the atoms in a sample of a radioactive element to decay is called the half life.

You say 'I've missed Half my life' which is short for : "I have missed half my life'
What is the term given to the time it take for one half of a sample of radioactive nuclei to decay?
The term is called half-life. It is the time it takes for half of the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay.
How do you import half life 1 weapons into half life 2?
Buy Half Life: Source Or Buy Garrysmod a Half-Life 2 Modification and get the addon "Half-Life Rennaisance" Link to Half Life Rennaisance: http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=57033 Enjoy!
Can half-life source be used for half-life mods?
No. Half-Life: Source runs on the Source engine. The original Half-Life doesn't. You cannot use mods made for the original Half-Life on Half-Life: Source because they run on different engines and it won't work.
