1 Why the test is used: Between 75% and 90% of people with lupus have a positive anti-dsDNA test. 2  Also, the test is very specific for lupus. 3  Therefore, a positive test can be useful in confirming a diagnosis. 4  For many people, the titer, or level, of the antibodies rises as the disease becomes more active.
The zone below ground where the pore spaces are filled with ground water is called the saturated zone. Above the saturated zone, where the pore spaces are not filled with ground water, is the unsaturated zone. The water table marks the boundary between the saturated and unsaturated zone. The water table intersects Earth's surface at rivers and at lakes.

The Antarctic ice sheet, which contains 61% of all fresh water on Earth, is visible at the bottom. Condensed atmospheric water can be seen as clouds, contributing to the Earth's albedo.
