Sine wave inverters with more than three steps in the wave output are more complex and have significantly higher cost than a modified sine wave, with only three steps, or square wave (one step) types of the same power handling.
A healthy cell has a pH of 7.35 while a cancer cell is more acidic. Cesium when taken orally will raise the pH of cancer cells, but not that of normal cells. When the pH of a cancer cell goes above 7.5 it dies and if it goes above 8.0 it will die in a matter of hours.
Explain how extremes of pH limit growth. Majority of organisms live or grow in habitats between pH 6 and 8 obligate acidophiles: Euglena mutabilis-alga that grows between 0 and 1.0 pH Thermoplasma-archae that lives in hot coal piles at a pH of 1 to 2, and would lyse if exposed to pH 7.
