Filtration is commonly the mechanical or physical operation which is used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by interposing a medium through which only the fluid can pass. Oversize solids in the fluid are retained‚ but the separation is not complete; solids will be contaminated with some fluid and filtrate will contain fine particles (depending on the pore size and filter thickness). Filtration is also used to describe some biological processes‚ especially in water treatment and sewage

At The Radius we can appreciate when things look bleak and not very encouraging. There are certain topics that cause a gridlock in communication‚ and are so egregious they seem daunting to even reconcile. Such topics include slavery‚ the state of education‚ and the worldwide crisis with refugees. In June a series of events gave us the opportunity to bring these undesirable topics to the forefront and to fulfill our mission to be solution-oriented‚ and to think creatively.

beds: glomerular and peritubular capillaries --- arranged in series and separated by the efferent arterioles (help regulate the hyrostatic pressure in both capillaries) =glomerular capillaries have high hydrostatic pressure (60 mmHg) which causes rapid fluid filtration =peritubular capillaries have lower hydrostatic pressure (13 mmHg) which permits rapid fluid reabsorption =kidneys can regulate the hydrostatic pressure in both capillaries by: a) adjusting the resistance of the afferent and

Ionic Radius: Definition‚ Calculation‚ and Trends Atoms are microscopic particles that constitute all matter. Despite their tiny size‚ however‚ they can be measured. One way that certain atoms‚ called ions‚ are measured‚ is by ionic radius. The radius is different from an atomic radius and is influenced by the particles’ charges. Use the following information to understand this important measurement in chemistry. What is Ionic Radius? Ionic radius is‚ simply put‚ the radius of an ion. An ion is

The doctor identified which bone she had fractured‚ and it was her radius bone. The doctor said there would be no surgery needed to heal the fracture‚ that it wasn’t very severe. He made a closed reduction‚ that is when the bone is straightened and doesn’t involve opening the skin. He put on a cast on her

VPN and RADIUS The boom in telecommuting and the need to support more remote workers is making life tough for IT managers. Besides the normal tasks of maintaining remote-access server (RAS) equipment‚ managers often find their time consumed administering access rights and authentication privileges on several‚ geographically dispersed remote access servers at the same time. Enter the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)‚ a commonly used authentication system. Most remote-access

Name: Affiliated Institution: Course: Date: Water Filtration The methods used in this experiment are simple filtration methods which are used by many water companies worldwide. In this experiment simple lab equipment was used‚ after contaminating water with various contaminants the water was filtered by using cheesecloth‚ sand‚ activated charcoal and alum. The contaminants used in the experiment are the most common and the most hazardous. They include; cleaning detergents

foul water sample rubber tubing pinch clamp iron ring plastic cup scoop Objective/Purpose: To purify a sample of foul water using oil-water separation‚ sand filtration‚ and charcoal adsorption and filtration. Procedure: First‚ you have the measure the foul water sample and record it in your data table. You have to record what you see and smell before you filter anything out. Then you have the separate the oil from the water using the ring stand‚ rubber tubing‚ pinch clamp and funnel. After

Gel filtration GEL FILTRATION OF PROTIENS Aim: The aim of this experiment is to identify proteins from a complex mixture using the gel filtration technique also known as size exclusion chromatography. This technique is widely used by biochemists when proteins larger than the pores are excluded from the column and the smaller molecules elute last and then collected in test tubes for examination by spectroscopic techniques. The red/brown proteins‚ in particular‚ will be observed closely
