LEDs… Release only ONE color of light Produce very little heat What is an LED? They are semiconductor devices that can convert electrical energy directly into light due to the nature of the bonding that occurs in the semiconductor solid. Type of bonding is directly related to conductivity of solid. Bonding in Elemental Solids Electronegativity – the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself. Atoms with low e.n.

infections‚ and burns can all lead to septicemia‚ which is one very good reason to monitor any infections to ensure that they do not spread. A case of septicemia starts with bacteria or toxins that they produce entering the bloodstream‚ resulting in a coagulation of the blood as the body tries to fight the bacteria. A patient with septicemia tends to look very bad. The condition is marked by confusion‚ chills‚ sweating‚ a very high fever‚ weakness‚ a rash‚ and an elevated heart rate. Respiration is also

The decision of a laparoscopic liver surgery or open liver surgery is based on the location and size of the tumor. Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) liver resection can be performed through three of four small keyhole-sized incisions in the abdomen to remove the tumor whether they are benign or malignant. The patient experiences lesser pain and scarring as compared to the traditional open liver resection and can be discharged earlier‚ approximately in two to three days after the procedure. Standard
