Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal (kidney) glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit time. [4] Central to the physiologic maintenance of GFR is the differential basal tone of the afferent (input) and efferent (output) arterioles (see diagram).
Skydiver Bill Booth's second rule states that "The safer skydiving gear becomes, the more chances skydivers will take, in order to keep the fatality rate constant." [ 1 ] Risk compensation is a theory which suggests that people typically adjust their behavior in response to perceived levels of risk, becoming more careful where they sense ...
Natural time analysis has been experimentally used for the diagnosis of heart failure syndrome [15] [16] as well as identifying patients at high risk for sudden cardiac death, [14] even when measuring solely the heart rate, either using electrocardiography or far more inexpensive and portable equipment (i.e. oximeter).
The 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor had a total kinetic energy prior to impact of about 0.5 megatons, thus, regardless of impact probability, it would only rate 0 on the Torino scale. Between 2000 and 2013, 26 atmospheric asteroid impacts with an energy of 1–600 kilotons were detected by the network of infrasound sensors operated by the Preparatory ...
The overall rate of complete resolution of both symptoms and ulceration varies at 50-75%. [8] Stool frequency and straining effort decrease after this treatment. [1] In about 56% of cases, biofeedback treatment stops rectal bleeding. [1] Some patients are able to cease relying on digitation. [1]
The current mass loss rate of RW Cephei has been determined to be ~ 7 × 10 −6 M ☉ /yr using a DUSTY model fit. [8] A previous study estimated 1.8 × 10 −5 M ☉ /yr using silicate line strengths and adopting a distance of 2.8 kpc. [ 50 ]
In this case, a room is defined as space of a housing unit of at least 4 m 2 (43 sq ft) as normal bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, kitchens and habitable cellars and attics. [10] About 38.9% of the total households were owner occupied, or in other words did not pay rent (though they may have a mortgage or a rent-to-own agreement). [11]
