for slow charging. o The sealed nickel-cadmium cell can be stored in the charged or discharged state without damage. It can be restored for service by recharging several charge/discharge cycles. o The electrolyte is commonly availalable, low cost potassium hydroxide KOH. o Available in a large variety of sizes & capacities. • Limitations o Relatively low energy density — compared with newer systems. o Memory effect — the NiCd must periodically be exercised to prevent memory. o Environmentally…

Additionally, the lab studies have proven that oregano oil possesses potent antibacterial properties. Furthermore, medicinal oregano abounds in minerals, like potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, and boron, so that it is even more beneficial. According to the studies, oregano oil is completely safe for human use and can be taken along with antibiotics in order to fight infection. Plus, the oil…

She murdered Liam Taylor, Timothy Hardwick, Becky Phillips, and Claire Peak. She murdered and attempted each of her victims by injecting them with high doses of insulin, potassium, and lignocaine when she was left alone with them (usually at night). Then, Beverley would call the resuscitation team to help save the child or they would come on their own. If the child was able to be saved, Allitt would attack once again. Allitt…

Ringworm can be tested in the following three ways; KOH (potassium hydroxide) preparation, a Wood’s light exam, or skin culture. A KOH preparation is a test that helps your physician find out if a fungus is causing your rash. The physician takes a sample of your skin by lightly scraping the infected area. The skin sample is placed on a slide with a potassium hydroxide solution and is gently heated. If the fungus cells are present then the doctor can see them…

Anatomy Assessment Claim The kidneys are located just below the rib cage and filter blood. “Every day, the two kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid.” The three major renal processes are glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion. Glomerular filtration produces a filtrate that is cell and protein free. This occurs in the renal corpuscle. Next, is tubular secretion. Taking place in the…

alkalosis is prevalent when your body loses an abundant amount of acid and gains too much base. This can occur due to access vomiting in result of this you will lose some electrolytes over use of diuretics, adrenal disease and losing large amounts of potassium and sodium amongst other conditions. The symptoms can vary as always non-serious conditions may include nausea numbness hand tremors. Serious conditions include difficulty breathing, confusion and possibly being in a…

convulsions (McCance and Huether, 2019). Anion Gap During metabolic acidosis, the anion gap is often used to show the different types of metabolic acidosis. In the anion gap, there is a measurement of the difference between the sum of sodium and potassium concentration and the sum of HCO3 and CL concentration. A normal anion gap in metabolic acidosis, is the bicarbonate loss when there is a retention of chloride; this process takes place in order to keep an ionic balance (McCance and Huether,…

Results indicated that average reaction times for the auditory and visual stimuli tests were both significantly different from that of the control conditions (see table 1 and figures 1, 2 and 3). Differences in average reaction time differing from the control test (test 1) range from as little as 4 milliseconds (test 2, test subject 2) to that of 67 milliseconds (test 4, test subject 3) (see table 1 and figure 1, 2 and 1.3). According to the averages of the percent increase in reaction time, the…

the first week of this experiment, we had to gain an understanding of the identities of a known compound, potassium permanganate (KMnO4), so we could have a baseline to compare the rest of our results. For example,…

are at risk of developing atrophy and the release of toxic intracellular contents that will eventually enter the circulatory system (Mohr, 234). From a pathophysiological standpoint, the result of rhabdomyolosis is the affect on sodium, calcium, potassium, and myoglobin (Mohr, 234). Firstly, sodium will flow freely through the cell membrane, causing oedema to muscle cells, posing a threat to Trevor by causing intravascular hypovolemia (Mohr, 234). With the affect on calcium, destruction of the…
