The Importance of Lipase. Fats require special digestive action before absorption because the end products must be carried in a water medium (blood and lymph) in which fats are not soluble. Lipase is the primary digestant used to split fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Although little actual fat digestion occurs in the stomach, gastric lipase does digest already emulsified fats such as in egg yolk and cream. Emulsification is the real key to the proper digestion of fats.
Over 40% of fatal collisions are caused by excessive or inappropriate speed. A 5km/h difference in speed could be the difference between life and death for a vulnerable road user like a pedestrian. 1  Hit by a car at 60km/h, 9 out of 10 pedestrians will be killed.
But if there are enough cars on the road, even if people anticipate approaching traffic to the best of their abilities, phantom traffic jams will form. We're usually inclined to think that these must be caused by an individual driver, Seibold says. prototype of Google's self-driving car. (Google). In the short term, there are some things engineers can do to cut down on these traffic jams. The straighter and smoother a road is, the less likely the jams are to form, since it means drivers won't be doing as much sudden braking.
