Heartburn is often triggered by foods. 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 & Melting Point. How to Determine Specific Gravities of Alloys. Find the reciprocal of the specific gravity of each metal in the alloy. This is done by dividing 1 by the specific gravity. For example, the specific gravity of silver is 10.49 and the reciprocal is 1 divided by 10.49 or 0.094966. Multiply each reciprocal by the number of parts per thousand of that metal to be used.
