A tungsten wire is 1.50 m long and has a diameter of 1.00 mm. At 20C a current of 50 mA flows through this wire.
 
  The temperature coefficient of resistivity for this tungsten is 4.5  10-3/C, and its resistivity at 20C is 5.6  10-8   m.
  (a) What is the potential difference across the ends of this wire at 20C?
  (b) If the wire temperature increases by 100 C, what potential difference across its ends is now required to produce a current of 50 mA?

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
