Influence of Fines on the Compressibility of Surface Sands in Kuwait by Al-Abdulmuhsen, Shaikhah A. N.

“…Moreover, with increasing fines, the compressibility increased as demonstrated by the larger values of Cc at all degrees of relative compaction except at 100% and that the coefficient of consolidation Cv decreased with increasing fines, which means that as the fines increase the time required to achieve a certain degree of consolidation will also increase.…”

Dose of Bicarbonate to Maintain Plasma pH During Maximal Ergometer Rowing and Consequence for Plasma Volume by Nielsen, Henning Bay

“…Compared to CON, BIC increased plasma sodium by 4 mmol/L, bicarbonate was maintained, and lactate increased to 25 ± 7 vs. 18 ± 3 mmol/L (p < 0.05). Plasma volume was estimated to decrease by 24 ± 4% in CON, while with BIC the estimate was by only 7 ± 6% (p < 0.05) and yet BIC had no significant effect on performance [median 6 min 27 s (range 6 min 09 s to 6 min 57 s) vs. 6 min 33 s (6 min 14 s to 6 min 55 s)]. …”
