Cable Positive HIV/AIDS Information
Two types of tests are commonly used to detect HIV infection. The most commonly used initial test is an enzyme immune assay (EIA) or the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). If EIA test results show a reaction, the test is repeated on the same blood sample. If the sample is repeatedly reactive, the results are "confirmed" using a second test such as the Western blot.

How soon after my reversal will I have sperm in my semen?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About Vasectomy Reversal
The return of sperm after vasectomy reversal may be immediate or may take up to 12 months. The difference lies in the type of the procedure required and the intra-operative findings. If there are high numbers of very motile (swimming) sperm at time of the vasectomy reversal and vasovasostomy alone is required than it is common for sperm to be present at the initial semen analysis at one or two months post-op.

Can I detect Am241 in the presence of Cs137?

BNC | FAQ | Model 935 SAM | Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs...
Yes. The Model 935 allows modification of the isotopic radiation lines in its library. One can very easily enable or disable a particular energy line in order to optimize results. This is helpful when two or more lines are very close. In this case, however, you would not need to modify the lines. Good results can be obtained without altering the standard library since there is ample seperation between all major lines (Cs-137: 662 and 32 keV; Am-241: 59.5 and 26 keV).

How do we detect the presence of radiation? WHAT IS RADIATION?

Low Dose Radiobiology - Frequently Asked Questions
Radiation is a form of energy. There are two basic types of radiation, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. The difference between these two types is the amount of energy they have. Ionizing radiation is high-energy radiation that has the ability to break chemical bonds, cause ionization and produce free radicals that can result in biological damage. Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to cause ionization but disperses energy through heat and increased molecular movement.

Why test for the presence of HIV in the blood?

HIV, AIDS, and the test
If you have been in contact with strange blood or when you have had unprotected sex, it gives a lot of uncertainty. You might be exposed to sexual transmittable diseases (STD's) like HIV. Although the chance of an infection is generally very small, it is present. The only way to find out whether you are still HIV negative (no HIV present in the blood) is to do an HIV test. Somebody who is infected with HIV will not notice it for the first few years.

Can the object move?

In Nomine Frequently Asked Questions - Celestials
Also depends on the object. Anything designed to bend or move will be able to do so. So a door could open and close, a car could drive around, a ball could roll, a puppet could walk around. But a candlestick couldn't move around on its own, since it is inflexible. Neither could a hammer lift itself to hammer a nail (or whatever). Certain Songs can give movement abilities, however.
