Präpertate die niedrige "Hemmwerte" bei mindestens zwei aeroben Keimen zeigen. (this is about the testing of compounds on animals)

neutral  Armorel Young: Your statistics are suspect, SwissTell. While there are some 2 million Google hits for inhibition value (i.e. for the 2 words appearing, possibly separately, in one doc.), there are only 5,050 for "inhibition value" as a phrase.

  -> I said so above myself, Aromrel. But 5050 is not too bad either for a topic which is not run-of-the-mill
neutral  Kim Metzger: Since you're a fan of Google hits, you might as well learn how to count them. http://www.ciesin.org/gsasearch/search_tips.jsp#phrase_searc... The only way to count hits for a phrase is to enclose it in quotation marks.

  -> I am a fan of G not for the reasons you think but because I bought them at 50! Your cloaking what basically is your usual snide remarks into a once-a-year 'agree' (in the meantime a neutral) cannot hide the motive, as transparent as your mean character

LD50 / inhibitor concentration


Explanation:
Was ist genau gemeint für ein "Hemmwert" in diesem Zusammenhang? LD50 = median lethal dose = mittlere letale Dosis? Oder allgemeiner eine "inhibitor concentration"?
