An extracorporeal liver device is similar to a kidney dialysis because this is the device used for liver dialysis.

Liver dialysis or technically known as Single-Pass Albumin Dialysis is designed to remove protein-bound toxins. It is the simplest form of albumin dialysis which utilizes the rudimentary principles of hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration. The dynamics of this procedure begins with the patient's blood flowing through a standard high-flux dialyzer that is impermeable to albumin. This is then dialyzed against a dialysate with an albumin concentration of 2%-5%, which is discarded after a single pass. It allows the removal of albumin-bound molecules that are minute enough to pass through the porous membrane and as well as water-soluble toxins.

What does population density measure?

vesna_86 [32]

Density is the number of things which could be people, animals, plants, or objects in a certain area. To calculate density, you divide the number of objects by the measurement of the area. The population density of a country is the number of people in that country divided by the area in square kilometers or miles.

Match the surface to its respective albedo score. fresh snow soil ocean (high-angle sun) ocean (low-angle sun) 0.95 arrowRight 0

Answer:

fresh snow → 0.9
soil → 0.2
ocean (high-angle sun) → 0.05
ocean (low-angle sun → 0.95

Explanation:

Albedo is the radiation reflected by the earth´s surface to the universe.

Albedo might be defined as a relation between reflected light from a particle and the incident light. It is the fraction of the incident radiation that is reflected by any object. If the surface is mostly clear and clean, most of the incident radiation is reflected. But if the surface is dark and rugose, most of the incident radiation is absorbed, and the temperature of the absorbing object will increase.

Albedo value is always inferior or equal to one and can be expressed as a percentage. The surface that reflects 100% of the incident light will have an albedo value = 1. But if the surface absorbs all the radiation and does not reflect any percentage, the albedo value = 0. Note: there is no real object that might reflect or absorb 100% of the incident radiation.

The importance of albedo is that it avoids high temperatures on the earth. There are many different surfaces with different albedo values. Global variations in albedo are natural processes due to exogenic and endogenic variations. But to these natural events, we must add all the variations caused by human beings´ actions, which increase greenhouse gases, decreasing albedo, and increasing global warming. The increase of greenhouse gases, such as CO₂, decreases albedo. The same occurs with atmospheric dust due to volcanic eruptions. Additional material interposes between the earth´s surface and the universe, decreasing the energy return to the universe.
