A house of correction is a type of detention facility, historically used in England, where individuals are detained as punishment for minor crimes or to reform through labor and discipline. Today, the term may refer to a jail or prison, particularly in certain jurisdictions in the U.S. Some modern houses of correction are designed more as rehabilitation centers than as regular prisons. The objective of such facilities is to facilitate reintegration of inmates into regular society after the completion of their sentences.

Habenaria peramoena is a species of orchid in the family Orchidaceae. It is a perennial plant native to Southeast Asia, often found in moist and shaded areas, particularly in forests and mountainous regions. The orchids are distinguished by their greenish-white or yellow-green flowers with lateral sepals that are often twisted. The species is known for its ornamental value, with unique and intricate flower structures.

Hystricomorpha is a suborder of the order Rodentia that comprises a large number of species of rodents, including porcupines, chinchillas, guinea pigs, and capybaras among others. It is characterized by a unique arrangement of the masseter (jaw muscles) and associated skull structures, allowing for more efficient gnawing. The suborder is predominantly distributed in the tropics and subtropics regions.

A dose rate is quantity of radiation absorbed or delivered per unit time.
It is often indicated in micrograys per hour (µGy/h) or as an equivalent dose rate ḢT in rems per hour (rem/hr) or sieverts per hour (Sv/h).Dose and dose rate are used to measure different quantities in the same way that distance and speed are used to measure different quantities. When considering stochastic radiation effects, only the total dose is relevant; each incremental unit of dose increases the probability that the stochastic effect happens. When considering deterministic effects, the dose rate also matters. The total dose can be above the threshold for a deterministic effect, but if the dose is spread out over a long period of time, the effect is not observed. Consider the sunburn, a deterministic effect:
when exposed to bright sunlight for only ten minutes at a high UV Index, that is to say a high average dose rate,
the skin can turn red and painful. The same total amount of energy from indirect sunlight spread out over several years - a low average dose rate - would not cause a sunburn at all, although it may still cause skin cancer.
