Sour Milk and All-Natural Science

Lactic acidosis: from sour milk to septic shock.

Lactic acidosis is frequently encountered in the intensive care unit. It occurs when there is an imbalance between production and clearance of lactate. Although lactic acidosis is often associated with a high anion gap and is generally defined as a lactate level >5 mmol/L and a serum pH <7.35, the presence of hypoalbuminemia may mask the anion gap and concomitant alkalosis may raise the pH. The...

The Accuracy of Predicting Compressibility Factor for Sour Natural Gases

This paper presents the initial stage of an effort aimed at developing a new correlation to estimate pseudo critical properties for sour gas when the exact composition is not known. Several mixing rules and gas gravity correlations available in the literature are first evaluated and compared. The evaluation is performed on a large database consisting of more than 2106 samples of sour gas compos...

Science and Natural History

P rior to the blight epidemic, American chestnut (Castanea dentata Borkh.) was one of the most important timber and nut-producing tree species in eastern North America (U.S. Census Bureau 1908). Its native range extended from southern Maine and Ontario in the north to Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi in the south (Sargent 1905). It now exists primarily as stump sprouts across its entire native ...

The Science behind Milk Ejection

The physiology of milk ejection has been thoroughly studied. In 1910, Ott and Scott (1910) discovered that extracts from the posterior pituitary could cause an increase in milk flow from a cannulated teat and some years later it was observed that the extracts from the posterior pituitary caused an increase in intra mammary pressure (Gaines, 1915). In 1941, it was observed that milk ejection was...
