BALANCE OF TRADE AND BALANCE OF PAYMENTS – An Introduction The balance of payments account indicates a systematic record of all export incomes and import payments of a country during any year. Any import from abroad has to be paid for. On the other hand‚ any export will bring money flow into the country. If we subtract the total value of the imported commodities from the total value of the exported commodities of a country‚ what we obtain is called the ‘Balance of Trade’ of the country. If the

Americans (Hispanic or Latino Populations‚ 2015). Each of these conditions is a type of kidney disease in which the kidneys cannot effectively filter wastes from the blood. Chronic Kidney Disease‚ or CKD‚ can lead to many severe health problems. Because the kidneys filter the blood‚ CKD can cause the body to retain fluid that can lead to swelling‚ high blood pressure‚ or fluid in the lungs (National Chronic Kidney Disease Fact Sheet 2014‚ 2014). CKD can also cause potassium levels to rise to dangerous

of the art on Bio-cutting fluids in Machining Submitted by: Abstract The increasing attention to the environmental and health impacts of industrial activities by governmental regulations and by the growing awareness level in the society is forcing industrialists to reduce the use of mineral oil-based metalworking fluids as cutting fluid. Cutting fluids have been used extensively in metal cutting operations for the last 200 years. In the beginning‚ cutting fluids consisted of simple oils

I. Kidney Anatomy A. Every day the kidneys filter nearly 200 liters of fluid from the bloodstream‚ allowing toxins‚ metabolic wastes‚ and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood; of this‚ only 1-2 L of urine is actually formed daily B. Location and External Anatomy 1. Kidneys - bean-shaped organs that lie retroperitoneal in the superior lumbar region. 2. The medial surface is concave and has a renal

point in a fluid has the same magnitude in all directions. (Pressure is a scalar) Variation of Pressure with Depth It will come as no surprise to you that pressure in a fluid at rest does not change in the horizontal direction. This can be shown easily by considering a thin horizontal layer of fluid and doing a force balance in any horizontal direction. However‚ this is not the case in the vertical direction in a gravity field. Pressure in a fluid increases with depth because more fluid rests on

WHAT IS FLUID MECHANICS ? FLUIED: Any thing whose particles can move easily from one place to another that means shape can be easily changed upon the application of negligible force. MECHANICS: Study of response of bodies upon the application of force. FLUID MECHANICS : Fluid mechanics may be defined as the branch of engineering science which deal with behavior of fluids under the condition of rest and

The phospholipids are arranged in a double layer (lipid layer) with the hydrophilic heads facing outward (cytoplasm or ECF) and the hydrophilic tails turned in towards each other. The unsaturated fatty acids are not bonded to each other and form a fluid. Fluid Mosaic model. The term "fluid" is used because the phospholipid molecules and

Kidneys has important functions for the body such as the regulation of blood pressure‚ and removal of waste material from the blood. However‚ steroids could cause severe damages and serious effects on the kidneys if people use them regularly. Also‚ Steroid users usually take Ultra high protein‚ and some might over intake them with weight training which could lead to kidney stones; kidney stones blocks the opening of the
