The significant loss of blood calcium commonly characterizes the condition of hypocalcemia. In particular, the loss of calcium is common in the extracellular fluid, and it occurs in greater quantities though it is replaceable by the intestine or the bone (Watad et al., 2016). The condition is a consequence of various clinical entities with the signs and symptoms of neuromuscular irritability. The common conditions of the neuromuscular irritability include the paresthesia, laryngospasm, muscle cramps, seizures as well as tetany. The same instability of the neuromuscular structures appears in the elicitation of the Chvostek’s signs and the common Trousseau’ ...

Benford's law also known as the first-digit law deals with the distribution of natural numbers in which it tends to major into their importance regarding significance. The law states that given any arrangement of natural numbers, the smallest number always seems to be the most significant while the largest number in the collection is always the least significant. Therefore, number 1 appears to be the most significant in any given combination of natural numbers 30% of the times. While on the other hand, number 9 appears only 5% of the times as the most significant number. The law states ...

Introduction

There are environmental chemical processes which require light to react. These processes are called photochemical reactions. Photochemical reaction is commonly initiated due to the absorption of solar energy or light. When molecules absorb energy in the form of light, the atoms are converted in a transient excited state (Larson & Weber, 1994). This transition state or excited has completely different physical and chemical properties with the initial state of the molecule. The excited states also have more tendencies to react since they are considered stronger acids and stronger reductants that the initial state of the molecule. The excited state of ...
