Imperial and US customary measurement systems (42 US gallons, 34.97 imperial gallons or 159.0 litres) used in the oil industry has the dimension of volume and could be replaced by the gallon, cubic metre or litre. The definitions of potential difference (volt), electric current (ampere), electrical resistance (ohm) were defined in terms of metric units, international agreement having been reached at a series of IEC Congress in Chicago between 1881 and 1906 when the electrical industry was in its infancy. At that time the metric system had become established in continental Europe while in the United Kingdom metrication was an active issue. Similarly, the units of
Thymidine kinase 1 of malignancy, furthermore, TK-1 has been found to be elevated in serum even before clinical symptoms appear. This offers the potential for earlier therapy. Elevations in serum TK-1 have been found to correlate with the return of breast and other forms of cancer TK-1 can be used to detect cancer earlier, determine what stage it is in, and detect recurrence. Thymidine Kinase 1 can be measured based on its enzyme activity or using immunoassay. Thymidine kinase 1 Thymidine kinase 1, soluble (gene name TK1), is a human thymidine kinase. Two forms of this protein have been identified in animal cells,
