Active Directory is a collection of network resources that can contain users, computers, printers, groups, and even other Active Directories. Active Directory services allow administrators to handle and maintain all network resources from a single location, providing users access to the network resources they need to get their work done. Active Directory is a feature primarily of Microsoft Windows, although other operating systems can participate in it to a limited degree.

AD services control much of the activity that goes on in WCER’s network environment. In particular, they make sure each person is who they claim to be (authentication), usually by checking the username and password they enter, and allow them to access only the data they’re allowed to use (authorization).

In general, WCER users don't need to know how to configure their computers to connect to the Active Directory domain. If your device is provided by WCER, Research IT has configured this for you.

Because most feeds contain non-protein nitrogen (NPN), crude protein generally overestimates the actual protein content of a feed.

A strong desire for food.

(1) The word hunger describes the feeling of discomfort that is the body’s signal that it is in need of more food. Because of prolonged, involuntary lack of food, hunger results in discomfort, illness, weakness, or pain that goes beyond the usual uneasy sensation." Thus hunger is an individual-level physiological condition that may result from food insecurity. (2) The World Food Programme of the United Nations defines hunger as not having enough to eat to meet energy requirements. Hunger can lead to malnutrition, but absence of hunger does not imply absence of malnutrition (See related definitions at the WFP website.)

A Department ID is the sequence of numbers that identifies a specific campus department, program, or entity. Historically, the Department ID was known as a "UDDS," which stands for "Unit, Division, Department, Subdepartment." This term is still in use in some resources, so we are including it in this glossary listing.

In more practical terms, a Department ID/UDDS is the unique combination of letters and numbers that identify the division, department, and possibly subdepartment, associated with a particular personnel, research, financial, or other activity or transaction.

EXAMPLE:  The full Department ID for a particular Letters & Science Department would be written as : 48XXXX.

"48" stands for "College of Letters & Science"

"XXXX" are the four numbers that identify the specific department, program, project, or other administrative entity.

A list of Letters & Science Department ID/UDDS numbers can be found at:

Research teams initially determine which IRB to submit their study to. During pre-reivew, the IRB office may determine that the study should be reviewed by another IRB.  This activity, available only to the IRB director, can move the study between the MR and HS boards, as well as to the SBS and ED IRBs. 

Once a submission has been scheduled for review at an IRB meeting, IRB Office staff can reassign the primary or secondary reviewer responsible for conducting the review, should scheduling or other conflicts arise. 

Studies in pre-review are assigned to a specific IRB staff reviewer.  If necessary due to workload, vacations, or any other issue, the IRB director can reassign that study to a different staff reviewer using this activity.

Some studies undergo a facilitated review rather than a full review, for example, studies sent to the NCI CIRB.  IRB staff will record the facilitated review decision using this activity.  This activity moves the study to the "awaiting correspondence" state.

During or after an IRB meeting, IRB staff use this activity to record the outcome of the review (e.g. approved, deferred, etc.).

Standard deviation (SD) is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. If the data points are further from the mean, there is higher deviation within the data set. The SD shares the same unit as the mean. The SD is calculated as the square root of variance by determining the variation between each data point relative to the mean. The symbol for standard deviation is σ (the Greek letter sigma). Approximately, in a normal distribution,
38% of all observations are within ± 0.5 SD units of the mean;
68% of all observations are within ± 1 SD units of the mean;
95% of all observations are within ± 2 SD units of the mean;
99% of all observations are within ± 3 SDunits of the mean.
