The BUN is roughly one-half of the blood urea (R). Normal human adult blood should contain between 5 to 20 mg of urea nitrogen per 100 ml (5â20 mg/dL) of blood, or 1.8 to 7.1 mmol urea per liter (R). To convert from mg/dL of blood urea nitrogen to mmol/L of urea, multiply by 0.357.
The 'dark' side of the moon. The moon orbits the Earth once every 27.322 days. It also takes approximately 27 days for the moon to rotate once on its axis. As a result, the moon does not seem to be spinning but appears to observers from Earth to be keeping almost perfectly still. Scientists call this sychronous rotation. The side of the moon that perpetually faces Earth is known as the near side. The opposite or back side is the far side.
As with all directions we have to choose the labels arbitrarily: North did not have to be up on the map; and clocks could have been designed the other way around. The Moon orbits the Earth, and the rest of the planets also orbit the Sun, in this same direction. The direction arises from the initial angular momentum of the material that made up the Solar System.
