  2. Lactic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acidosis

    Lactic acidosis is commonly found in people who are unwell, such as those with severe heart and/or lung disease, a severe infection with sepsis, the systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to another cause, severe physical trauma, or severe depletion of body fluids. [3]

  3. Modified Mercalli intensity scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Mercalli...

    v. t. e. The Modified Mercalli intensity scale (MM, MMI, or MCS) measures the effects of an earthquake at a given location. This is in contrast with the seismic magnitude usually reported for an earthquake. Magnitude scales measure the inherent force or strength of an earthquake – an event occurring at greater or lesser depth. (The " Mw ...

  4. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    ECGs are normally printed on a grid. The horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents voltage. The standard values on this grid are shown in the adjacent image at 25mm/sec: [57] A small box is 1 mm × 1 mm and represents 0.1 mV × 0.04 seconds. A large box is 5 mm × 5 mm and represents 0.5 mV × 0.20 seconds.

    The researchers weren’t sure what to expect prior to running their experiment. “There was a chance that arm position was not important,” she said.

  6. Potassium-40 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium-40

    Potassium-40 is the largest source of natural radioactivity in animals including humans. A 70 kg human body contains about 140 g of potassium, hence about 140g × 0.0117% ≈ 16.4 mg of 40 K; [ 4 ] whose decay produces about 3850 [ 5 ] to 4300 disintegrations per second ( becquerel ) continuously throughout the life of the person.

  7. Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Boltzmann...

    Mathematically, the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution is the chi distribution with three degrees of freedom (the components of the velocity vector in Euclidean space), with a scale parameter measuring speeds in units proportional to the square root of (the ratio of temperature and particle mass). [ 2 ]

  8. 40-yard dash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40-yard_dash

    In terms of judging a person's speed, the best method of timing is through lasers which start and stop the times when passed through. A laser start (from a stationary position) is more accurate for measuring pure speed as it does not register a runner's reaction time, however, this method of timing a 40-yard dash can affect the accuracy by as much as 0.5 seconds with the manual stopwatch method.

  9. Folate deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folate_deficiency

    Signs of folate deficiency anemia most of the time are subtle. [4] Anemia (macrocytic, megaloblastic anemia) can be a sign of advanced folate deficiency in adults. [1] Folate deficiency anemia may result in feeling tired, weakness, changes to the color of the skin or hair, open sores on the mouth, shortness of breath, palpitations, lightheadedness, cold hands and feet, headaches, easy bleeding ...
