Testing Water Quality01:14

Testing Water Quality

451
When the quality of water for concrete preparation is uncertain, its impact on the setting time of cement and compressive strength of mortar is assessed by comparison with de-ionized or distilled water benchmarks. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1602 requires the setting times to be within 90 minutes of the control, British Standard (BS) 3146:1980 allows a 30-minute variance in the initial setting, while British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 1008 specifies initial setting...

Newtonian Fluid: Problem Solving01:18

Newtonian Fluid: Problem Solving

1.1K
Newtonian fluids exhibit a constant viscosity, meaning their shear stress and shear strain rate are directly proportional. This property ensures a predictable and stable response to applied forces, maintaining a linear relationship between force and flow. Examples include water, air, and light oils, consistently demonstrating this proportional behavior regardless of external conditions.
A velocity gradient forms within the fluid when a Newtonian fluid is placed between two parallel plates, with...

Summary

This study found that individuals born under the zodiac sign Pisces had a lower risk of death in a clinical trial. This highlights the potential for significant findings in post-hoc analyses.

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Astrology and health outcomes
  • Critical care medicine

Background:

  • Assessing factors influencing mortality in intensive care.
  • Investigating potential correlations between birth dates and health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if being born under the zodiac sign Pisces affects mortality rates.
  • To maximize data yield from existing clinical trial information.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective observational study of 798 patients in intensive care units.
  • Analysis of data from the Scandinavian Starch for Severe Sepsis/ Septic Shock (6S) trial (2009-2011).
  • Examined 90-day mortality based on zodiac sign (Pisces vs. non-Pisces).

Main Results:

  • 70 patients (9%) were born under Pisces.
  • Pisces group had 35.7% mortality compared to 48% in the non-Pisces group.
  • Relative risk of death for Pisces was 0.75 (95% CI, 0.54-1.03; P=0.03).

Conclusions:

  • Being born under the sign Pisces was associated with a reduced risk of death.
  • Demonstrates the possibility of achieving significant results in post-hoc analyses.
  • Emphasizes the importance of statistical methodology and hypothesis generation.
