Absorption

1. The total demand for all goods and services in an economy. One calculates the absorption by adding the value of all goods and services produced and consumed locally to that of all imports.

2. A French term for acquisition.

absorption

the sharing of indirect costs or OVERHEADS to units of product by means of COST RATES. Provided that actual overheads do not exceed BUDGET and that actual output is the same as budgeted output, then the overhead cost rate should allow total product cost to be determined, and a selling price set which will recover the overhead costs involved in producing and selling the product. See STANDARD COST, OVERHEAD COST VARIANCE.

We observe that there is a transient increase in the blood velocity with an increase in the radiation absorption. Such increases in blood velocity and hence wall shear stress together with the possible development of hot spots in the flow system mean that the therapy dose needs to be carefully controlled.

Gauges for the thickness measurement, based on radiation absorption technique, have found useful applications - chiefly in metallurgical, industries to detect cavities in rolled sheet ingots, to measure the thickness of hot rolled strip and plate steel and to measure the wall thickness of hot rolled strip and plate steel and to measure the wall thickness of steel tubes.
