UVU is very different from most universities as we do not teach from a textbook. Most instructors have a PhD in engineering and 20-40 years of experience. Course content is developed from scratch and is based on the instructorâs experience. The textbook serves as a reference and some reading assignments are made.
Deionization (DI Water or Demineralization) simply means the removal of ions. Ions are electrically charged atoms or molecules found in water that have either a net negative or positive charge.
A urinary diversion is a way to release urine from the body when you canât urinate because the urinary system is damaged or not working. You will need a urinary diversion, for example, if your bladder has been removed to stop the spread of cancer, or if your bladder has nerve damage. Any problem in the bladder that blocks the flow of urine and causes it to accumulate in the ureters and kidneys may result in the need for a urinary diversion. A urinary diversion may mean a urostomy, which requires a pouch to be worn outside the body, or a continent diversion, which involves the creation of a pouch or bladder inside the body, usually using part of the digestive tract. The ileal conduit is made from a short segment of the small intestine.
