The effect of colonic distension and changes in intraluminal pH and osmolality have been investigated in patients with well established colostomies. Small volumes of acidic buffer (pH4) and hypertonic saline (4%) were found to be only a very weak peristaltic stimulus. Strong hypertonic solutions (glycerine BP) induced a poorly sustained peristaltic response in the majority of cases. Distension ...

This section provides a summary of important units for geomagnetism and geoelectricty. In addition, a summary of conversion factors and fundamental units of relevance to earth and planetary science are presented for reference. Despite the sentiment expressed above by Vigoureux, it still seems that plenty of us slave over SI units in geomagnetism. There is probably no other scientific discipline...
