Tats

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Acronyms, Idioms, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Tats 

a people inhabiting the regions along the Caspian Sea in the Azerbaijan SSR and the southern part of the Dagestan ASSR. They also live in Iran. In the USSR they number 14,200 (1970 census). Their language is Tat. The Tats in the Azerbaijan SSR are bilingual—their second language is Azerbaijani—and their culture and daily life differ very little from those of the Azerbaijanis. Those who hold religious beliefs profess the Shiite Muslim, Monophysite Christian, or Jewish faith. The traditional occupations are land cultivation and fruit growing. Artistic handicrafts, such as carpet weaving and the making of copperware, are developed. A significant number of Tats work in industry.

We hear: "Ricky loved Becks' tats when he came to his dressing room to wish him luck before fighting Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas.
Thus, TATs serve a variety of purposes including (a) providing immediate assistance to general educators (Chalfant et al), (b) maintaining students with learning and behavioral difficulties in general education (Graden, Casey, & Christenson, 1985; Nelson, Smith, Taylor, Dodd, & Reavis, 1992), and (c) reducing the total number of special education referrals while increasing the proportion of appropriate referrals (Graden et al).
Our study of outlier TATs, defined as TATs in excess of 70 minutes, showed that only 28% were caused by the analytic phase of the total testing process; most delays occurred in preanalytic steps associated with specimen collection and transport or postanalytic steps involved with reporting the results.
