Giardia intestinalis (aka: Giardia duodenalis, Giardia lamblia) is a common, microscopic (intestinal) parasite that commonly affects humans, dogs, and cats. Common signs and symptoms of Giardia infection (in both humans and pets) are diarrhea, gas, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting.
Thermal conductivity 1 Thermal conductivity In physics, thermal conductivity, is the, property of a material's ability to conduct heat. It appears primarily inFourier's Law for heat conduction.hermal conductivity 2. Definitions The reciprocal of thermal conductivity is thermal resistivity, usually measured in kelvin-meters per watt (KÂ·mÂ·W â1).When dealing with a known amount of material, its thermal conductance and the reciprocal property, thermalresistance, can be described.
These properties can then help us model the substance and thus understand how this substance will behave under various conditions. Some of the more important physical and chemical properties from an engineering material standpoint: 1  Phase Transformation Temperatures. 2  Density. 3  Specific Gravity. 4  Thermal Conductivity.
