Quick Answer. The meaning of a reactive result for a hepatitis B test depends on the type of test performed, according to the Hepatitis B Foundation. The three most common blood tests detect the presence of hepatitis B surface antigens, hepatitis B surface antibodies or hepatitis B core antibodies. Continue Reading.
The Kelvin scale and the kelvin are named after the British physicist and engineer William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin , who wrote of the need for an âabsolute thermometric scaleâ. The kelvin (symbol: K) is a unit increment of temperature and is one of the seven SI base units. The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale where absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy, is zero (0 K).
Kelvin is another unit of temperature that is very handy for many scientific calculations, since it begins at absolute zero, meaning it has no negative numbers. (Note...the word degrees is NOT used with Kelvin.) The way to convert from degrees Celsius to Kelvin is: The three different temperature scales have been placed side-by-side in the chart below for comparison.
