down-low

Examples of down-low in the following topics:

• High and Low Culture

  • The distinction between the the "high" culture of the elite and the "low" culture of the masses has become increasingly blurred over time.
  • In order to understand popular culture, we must first distinguish between what has been traditionally referred to as "high" and "low" culture.
  • The definition of what constitutes popular culture - and where it falls within high and low culture - is frequently debated.
  • In essence, they created a space where high and low could meet.
  • Conceptual barriers between so-called high and low culture have broken down, accompanying an explosion in scholarly interest in popular culture, which encompasses such diverse media as comic books, television, and the Internet.

• Female Athlete Triad: Disordered Eating, Amenorrhea, and Premature Osteoporosis

  • Female athlete triad is a combination of eating disorders, disrupted menstruation, and low bone density.
  • Disordered eating is defined among this situation due to the low caloric intake or low energy availability.
  • By restricting their diets, athletes worsen the problem of low energy availability.
  • As osteoclasts break down bone, patients see a loss of bone mineral density.
  • Low bone mineral density renders bones more brittle and hence susceptible to fracture.

• Longitudinal and Transverse Waves

  • As the wave travels in one direction - say south - it is creating an up-and-down (not north-and-south) motion on the water's surface.
  • This kind of wave is fairly easy to draw; a line going from left-to-right has up-and-down wiggles.
  • The result of these "forward and backward" waves is that the "high point" of a sound wave is where the air molecules are bunched together, and the "low point" is where there are fewer air molecules.
  • In water waves and other transverse waves, the ups and downs are in a different direction from the forward movement of the wave.
  • The "highs and lows" of sound waves and other longitudinal waves are arranged in the "forward" direction.

• Down Syndrome

  • Down syndrome or Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a chromosomal condition caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.
  • This is the cause of 1–2% of the observed Down syndromes.
  • Translocation Down syndrome is often referred to as familial Down syndrome.
  • Many standard prenatal screens can discover Down syndrome.
  • Lab work can take several weeks, but will detect over 99.8% of all numerical chromosomal problems with a very low false positive rate.

• Everyday Low Pricing

  • Everyday low price is a pricing strategy offering consumers a low price without having to wait for sale price events or comparison shopping.
  • Everyday low price (EDLP) is a pricing strategy promising consumers a low price without the need to wait for sale price events or comparison shopping.
  • EDLP saves retail stores the effort and expense needed to mark down prices in the store during sale events, as well as to market these events.
  • At Trader Joe's, its everyday low prices are available to everyone.
  • Its everyday low prices are available to everyone.

• Low Temperatures

  • Low temperatures usually inhibit or stop microbial growth and proliferation but often do not kill bacteria.
  • Low temperatures usually inhibit or stop microbial growth and proliferation but often do not kill bacteria.
  • Refrigeration preserves food by slowing down the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and the action of enzymes which cause food to rot.
  • Freezing food slows down decomposition by turning residual moisture into ice, inhibiting the growth of most bacterial species.

• Dead Space: V/Q Mismatch

  • Dead space is a broken down or blocked region of the lung that produces a mismatch of air and blood in the lungs (V/Q mismatch).
  • The pulmonary circulation pressure is very low compared to that of the systemic circulation; it is also independent of cardiac output.
  • Dead space is characterized by regions of broken down or blocked lung tissue.
  • Note that this does not occur when lying down because in this position, gravity does not preferentially pull the bottom of the lung down.
  • When a healthy individual stands up quickly after lying down for a while, both ventilation and perfusion increase.

• Periodic Trends in Metallic Properties

  • Metallic properties tend to decrease across a period and increase down a periodic group.
  • Elements with low electronegativity tend to have more metallic properties.
  • So, the metallic properties of elements tends to decrease across a period and increase down a group.
  • These elements all possess low electronegativities and readily form positive ions.

• When to Extend Product Lines

  • A company can extend its product line using a down-market stretch, an up-market stretch, or a move both ways.
  • The company can extend its product line with a down-market stretch, an up-market stretch, or a move both ways.
  • If the company has been attacked by a low-end competitor, it often decides to counterattack by entering the low end of the market;

• Impact of the SML on the Cost of Capital

  • If the price of the instrument goes up, its expected returns go down, and vice versa.
  • A firm that is raising capital would like to sell these instruments for a high price, and investors want to buy them for a low price.
  • An instrument plotted below the SML would have a low expected return and a high price.
  • An instrument plotted above the line has a high expected return and a low price.
