    Perfluorosulfonic acids. Perfluorosulfonic acids ( PFSAs) are chemical compounds of the formula C n F (2n+1) SO 3 H and thus belong to the family of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds (PFASs). The simplest example of a perfluorosulfonic acid is the trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. Perfluorosulfonic acids with six or more ...

    Around the time of alignment, extreme gravitational lensing of the galaxy is observed. A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light and other electromagnetic waves, is capable of possessing enough energy to escape it. [ 2] Einstein 's theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently ...

    Clarke's test. In medicine, Clarke's test (also known as the Osmond-Clarke test or patellar grind test) is a component of knee examination which may be used to test for patellofemoral pain syndrome, chondromalacia patellae, patellofemoral arthritis, or anterior knee pain. It is not a standard part of the knee examination but is used to diagnose ...
