1. How does bleeding from a wound be stopped? A wound stops bleeding due to the process of clot formation called coagulation. Coagulation is from the Latin coagulatus meaning "to cause to curdle". All this chemical action creates a plug called a blood clot. After a time‚ moisture is squeezed out of the clot and it contracts. This process is called syneresis. It’s not widely known but the same chemical process of syneresis also happens in the formation of jams and jellies. 2. How does the immune

Philosophy through Mathematics For centuries mathematics has been the bases to almost everything we do. Whether we are dealing with complex physics or modern medicine‚ without mathematics almost nothing we have now would be possible. Mathematics is a broad topic that can be broken down into many different categories. Most people limit their mathematics to just basic arithmetic and some geometry but the world of mathematics can be expanded to be so much more. The world of mathematics includes more than

Advantages of mix design Mix design aims to achieve good quality concrete at site economically. I. Quality concrete means • Better strength • Better imperviousness and durability • Dense and homogeneous concrete II. Economy a) Economy in cement consumption It is possible to save up to 15% of cement for M20 grade of concrete with the help of concrete mix design. In fact higher the grade of concrete more are the savings. Lower cement content also results in lower heat of hydration and hence

Abstract Soil reflectance spectroscopy is a well known technique to assess soil properties rapidly and quantitatively both in point (Spectroscopy) and image (Imaging Spectroscopy (IS)) domains. The quantitative approach has been developed in the past two decades by many researchers and many papers have been published on this subject in the scientific literature. Basically‚ the quantitative approach has been adopted from other disciplines (e.g. food‚ textile‚ pharmaceutical); whereas the mapping
