A dram is both a unit of weight and a measure of liquid capacity. In either case, it’s a small amount. Dram came from French through Latin and ultimately from the Greek word drachmē, meaning “handful.” As a unit of weight, a dram is 1/16 of an ounce (and an ounce is 1/16...
Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) gains recent great interest due to its potential in contactless heart rate measurement using consumer-level cameras. Thi
A handy guide to learning all about the different sizes of beer, wine, and alcohol bottles and containers.
I recall a story in the news a while back, where some Continental-style café/bars in the UK were trying to sell beer by the 500 ml glass, as is traditional in Europe. The law came down on them like a ton (or tonne?) of bricks and said they were not allowed to do that. I ha...
However, there are methods to extract ions from solid samples into a liquid phase for measurement. For example, in the case of soil samples, an extraction process can be employed to dissolve the ions of interest into a liquid solution for subsequent ion measurement using ISEs. How accurate are...
but it's still a pint that you buy, a pint of milk. You also, if you go into a pub or a bar, you buy a pint of beer or half a pint of beer. So that's still the old measurement. Okay, there is a larger liquid measurement as well. From the imperial system called a gallon...
In the case of some of the laboratory measurements, equivalent theoretical results are also presented in order to test the validity of the mathematical models currently being employed. The theory describing the system dynamics and some of the features of the laboratory system are presented...
In cross-sectional analyses, transferrin was associated with several CVD-RFs in women, which was not the case for ferritin or transferrin saturation. In the longitudinal part of our study, we took advantage of repeated measures of iron biomarkers to correct for low reliability of iron biomarkers....
An amount of 7 mg of TpClPB, acting as anionic additive was added to some of these membranes; in this case, the corresponding mass composition was 35.0, 61.2, 2.6, and 1.2%, respectively. e mixture was stirred until the PVC was well moistened and dispersed in 3.0 mL THF. ese membranes...
A label-free property of all reactions is heat, which can be measured quantitatively using calorimetric techniques. Although methods based on the simulation of the complete calorimetric curves, which typically take minutes to hours to record, to obtain kinetics data have been developed24, there is ...
