The surface finish for Rockwell testing must be smooth and uniform to obtain an accurate measurement. If you recognize the fact that one Rockwell point is equal to 0.002 millimeter (0.000080 inch), it is easy to understand why certain aspects of the test are important. Rockwell results typically are reported to 0.1 Rockwell point (0.000040 in.).
Pinworm inhabits the colon and rectum, feeding on Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria in the stool. Late at night when children are asleep, the female pinworm, which measures about the length of a staple (0.5 inch or 13 millimeters), emerges from the anus and lays her eggs on the surrounding skin.
Mucus in the stool can be related to infection, inflammation, cancer, constipation, or conditions of the anus or rectum. Frequent, loosely-formed stool can be related to diet, medications, infection, inflammation, or food poisoning.
