Burn surface assessment is subject to considerable differences among clinicians [2]. This work investigated the accuracy among experts based on conventional surface estimation methods (e.g. "Rule of Palm", "Rule of Nines" or "Lund-Browder Chart"). The estimation results were compared to a ...
If your refrigerator has a dial thermostat, set it to "colder" or a higher number to lower the temperature. To make your refrigerator cooler if your thermostat has a sliding measure, move the slider to the right. Use the touchpad buttons to change the settings on your refrigerator's electro...
In addition to tracking your running metrics – like distance, pace, calorie burn and heart rate – an outdoor GPS watch can provide you with a long battery life, altimeter, route planning and fueling guidance. This can make or break your trail running experience. Polar Grit X2 Pro Titan ...
There are various ways to measure humidity, each providing different insights into the amount of moisture in the air. Water Vapor and Its Role Water vapor plays a vital role in the Earth’s weather and climate systems. When liquid water evaporates, it becomes water vapor and enters the ...
How to measure pulse rate The pulse rate can be measured manually or by means of special devices. The pulse rate can be measured manually or by “palpation” with the fingers at all points on the body where arteries run superficially. The best-known palpation site is in the area of the ...
A study was designed to measure the areas in question to find which was most accurate. The conclusions challenge standard teaching and show a sex difference. The area of the palm alone is 0.5 per cent BSA in males and 0.4 per cent BSA in females, whereas the area of the palm plus the...
Astronomers (professional or amateur) can measure a star's brightness (the amount of light it puts out) by using aphotometerorcharge-coupled device(CCD) on the end of a telescope. If they know the star's brightness and the distance to the star, they can calculate the star's luminosity:...
Tremblay's team analyzed the Gaia observations to measure the luminosities and colors of 15,000 white dwarfs within 300 light-years of Earth. What they found was an excess (or a "pile-up") in the population of stars of specific colors and brightness. They realized that this group of stars...
Some astronomers use their telescopes to make scientific measurements with photometers (devices to measure the intensity of light) or spectroscopes (devices to measure the wavelengths and intensities of light from an object). Make Your Own Telescope Many amateurs prefer to make their own telescopes...
(Except I cut all three pieces slightly too long, requiring trimming with a chisel. It seems I’m a “measure twice, then cut twice anyway” guy.) Sanding each board, staining it, and then finishing it off with the steel wool was by far the easiest part, and it made me realize how...
