Occasionally, head lice or body lice may be acquired from contact with clothing (such as hats, scarves, coats, etc.) or other personal items (such as bedding or towels) that belong to an infested person. This is the more common mode of transmission for body lice.he three kinds of lice that affect humans include: 1  Pediculus humanus capitis (head lice). 2  Pediculus humanus corporis (body lice). 3  Phthirus pubis (pubic lice or crab lice; also called crabs).
The Arrhenius equation provides a relationship between the rate constant #k# and temperature #T#. The Arrhenius equation is: #k=zpe^(-(Ea)/(RT))# where, #k# is the rate constant, #z# is the collision factor, #p# is the steric factor, #Ea# is the activation energy, #R=8.3245J/(mol.K)# is the ideal gas constant and #T# is the temperature.
It is important to note that the decision to use the gas constant or the Boltzmann constant in the Arrhenius equation depends primarily on the canceling of the units. To take the inverse log of a number, the number must be unitless. Therefore all the units in the exponential factor must cancel out.
