specially. This funnel is called as V-funnel. This test is a self-compactibility test to measure the capacity of concrete to pass into the spaces. This test determines the viscosity and passing capacity of SCC. Fresh SCC is filled to the funnel without any compaction or vibration and then the sliding cover under the funnel is opened and the filling time of all concrete in the funnel to the pail is recorded. Fig. 2 V-funnel test L-box test L-box test is used to assess the passing ability of SCC to

VO2 Max Test Objective of the test: To work out how much oxygen can be utilized during an intense exercise test‚ the maximum capacity of oxygen used in the body Background of the test: The aim of this study was to create and evaluate a submaximal cycle ergometry test based on change in heart rate ( HR) between a lower standard work rate and an individually chosen higher work rate. In a mixed population ( n = 143) with regard to sex (55% women)‚ age (21-65 years)‚ and activity status (inactive to

Experiment 05 Water Hardness October 8th‚ 2013 The hardness of water was determined using the methods of titration‚ conductivity‚ and pH analysis. The mean and uncertainty of CaCO3 is 134±36.0 ppm. An error that could have potentially happened could be that the equivalence point was not correctly established causing inaccurate data. BACKGROUND: 1In hard water there is a high amount of mineral content present in the water. Most of the mineral content that is present

3.7.2.1.5 Urea test PRINCIPLE Urea is hydrolyzed in the presence of urease to produce ammonia and CO2. The ammonia produced combines with 2 – oxoglutarate and NADH in the presence of GLDH to yield glutamate and NAD. Urea + H2O + 2H+ 2NH4+ + CO2 NH4+ + 2-Oxoglutarate +NADH H2O +NAD+ + Glutamate The decrease in absorbance due to the decrease of NADH concentration in unit time is proportional to the urea concentration.

Zebrafish Embryotoxicity Test (ZET) The ZET will be done following the method proposed by Beekhuijzen et al. (2015) with modifications. Six embryos will be exposed to each of the following treatments: 0.1‚ 0.05‚ 0.025‚ 0.0125‚ and 0.00625 mg/ml. Embryos will be incubated in 24-well plates with built-in lids. Each well will contain one embryo and 2 ml of the respective treatment. All test solutions will be renewed every 24h to maintain the integrity of the test concentrations. The embryos will

what the Rockwell hardening test is and why it is used‚ how the experiment was conducted‚ data that was found‚ and the importance of testing the hardness of materials. This experiment explains and proves how the hardness of materials can be increased by alloying and heat treating. Intro – Rockwell Hardness Testing Soft and hard qualities exist in materials. In materials‚ hardness measures the ability of a material to resist scratching‚ indentation‚ or penetration. Hardness cannot be expressed in terms

As a result of the tests ran‚ I was able to identify the unknown bacteria. For Unknown A‚ I ran six tests. I first isolated the bacterium from the second bacterium and found a clear growth (Table 1‚ Figure 1). Secondly‚ I ran a gram stain and found a gram positive‚ cocci bacterium (Table 1‚ Figure 2). Third‚ I ran a catalase test in which was negative (Table 1). From here‚ I determined a starch hydrolysis test would be necessary to distinguish between different bacteria. The result was negative (Table

Cold pressor test is widely used as test for auto- nomic functions. It has been used as diagnostic test for diseases like hypertension and other cardiac auto- nomic disorders. During cold pressor test ‚ the hand or foot is immersed in cold water bath held at a con- stant temperature at 80 C. Cold water immersion activates afferent pain and temperature neurons‚ re- sulting in a centrally mediated stimulation of sympa- thetic efferent neurons. In healthy subjects ‚ the CPT causes increase
