Students are introduced to the five fundamental loads: compression, tension, shear, bending and torsion. They learn about the different kinds of stress each force exerts on objects. Engineers take into consideration the impact of many types of forces when designing structures. Factors that influence the design decisions include: anticipated use of the structure, expected weather exposure, and the type of soil it will be built upon.
An alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test measures the level of ALT enzyme in your blood. ALT is an enzyme produced by liver cells. It helps the body metabolize proteins. If the liver is damaged or not functioning properly, ALT is released into the blood. This causes ALT levels to increase. The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test is used to evaluate liver function. The test is also known as a serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) test or alanine transaminase test.
SGOT stands for serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase or can also be known as AST for aspartate aminotransferase whereas SGPT stands for serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase or can also be known as ALT for alanine transferase.
