Transects and quadrats are two ecological tools that allow us to quantify the relative abundance of organisms in an area. To track changes over time, it is important to be able to quantify changes in abundance. What is the importance of transect chart? A transect helps identify problems to thenRead More →
The line transect sampling provides a convenience method of estimating the number of objects in a study. The objects may be any species of animal or plant that is easily visible, at least at close range. What is use of transect method? A transect is a path along which oneRead More →
Margin Plate is the outboard strake of the inner bottom and when turned down at the bilge the margin plate (or girder) forms the outer boundary of the double bottom.

This is done when the CVL/PICC is no longer required for medication or fluid infusions. Do you flush a central lineRead More →
The arterial waveform reflects the change in pressure over time, or dP/dt, and thus the slope of the upstroke reflects this. Generally speaking, the steeper the slope, the quicker the rise, the greater the dP/ dt, and the stronger the contractile forces appear. What does Overdamped mean? An overdamped systemRead More →
