This test measures the amount of lactate in the blood or, more rarely, in the cerebrospinal fluid. Lactate is the ionic (electrically charged) form of lactic acid. It is produced by muscle cells, red blood cells, brain, and other tissues during anaerobic (oxygen deficient) energy production and is usually present at low concentrations in the blood.
Drain the swamp is a political term that refers to the removal of corruption in Washington D.C. It became a rallying cry for Donald Trump and his supporters during the final weeks of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The term comes from the practice of actually draining swamps to decrease the mosquito population and fight against malaria.
Full drain-flows entered the Toenepi wetlands at a single point at the upstream end. Where drain flows at Bog Burn were less than 6 L s -1, the full flow entered the wetland. Volumes higher than 6 L s -1 are diverted directly to an adjacent surface-flow drain, thus bypassing the wetland.his resulted in 16â37% of the annual drainage flow being diverted from the wetland, comprising 19â49% of the annual TN load and 15â46% of the annual TP load from the drainage system (see later sections). Detailed analyses of earlier rainfall and hydrological data can be found in Tanner and Sukias (2011).
