Heart palpitations are described as feeling like your heart is racing or pounding. Palpitations can be caused by anxiety, panic disorders, overeating, pregnancy, and abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Most palpitations are not serious, however, palpitations caused by a heart condition like atrial fibrillation or Afib can be serious and require medical treatment.
WEIGHING BY DIFFERENCE (From Dr. David Chesney) Weighing by difference is the most accurate method to measure quantitatively the mass of a solid sample. This procedure involves repetitive weighings of a weighing bottle containing a quantity of solid reagent. As the solid is removed to another vessel, the mass of the weighing bottle contents decreases.
USCS and Imperial also differed on several supplemental units; e.g., US hundredweight = 100 pounds, UK hundredweight = 112 pounds = 8 stone. A ton in each country was 20 hundredweight, but because of the difference in hundredweight, the US used a âshort tonâ of 2000 lbs, and the UK a âlong tonâ of 2240 lbs.
