This is because certain substances irritate the esophagus or weaken the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which prevents the backward flow of stomach contents that causes reflux. Triggers can include: 1  alcohol. 2  caffeinated products, such as coffee, soda, and tea. 3  chocolate. 4  citrus fruits. 5  garlic. 6  fatty foods. 7  onions.
Testing specific gravity of fuel. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.
Specific gravity (sometimes referred to as Density) is a useful diagnostic attribute when trying to determine the mineral species of an unknown mineral specimen. But textbooks usually describe testing specific gravity using a laboratory balance scale that few of us have in our homes.
