hydrogen-absorbing negative electrode (anode) thus the hydride part of the name. This electrode is normally a metal hydride which is typically an alloy of Lanthanum and rare earths that act as a source of reduced hydrogen that form protons when oxidised. The electrolyte is normally alkaline potassium hydroxide and its cell voltage is 1.2V. The basics of the nickel-metal hydride cell with a negative electrode originates from research on alternative energy sources. Experiments showed that some metallic alloys form

blood pressure, respiration and skin conductivity (Patrick, C. J., 1989). Electrolytes released on the skin surface during perspiration lowers the electrolytic resistance to the skin, thus increasing electro-dermal activity. Lying can cause changes in heart rate, breathing rate, and electro dermal activity. These responses can be stimulated by involuntary stress responses detecting in increase in the secreting of electrolytes or the increase sweat being secreted by sweat glands on the skin thus measuring

myriad functions within the human body. When the body is deprived of the water levels that it requires dehydration ensues. Alcohol and caffeine contribute to dehydration and the injurious symptoms that result. Water also serves as a medium for electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride which maintain water levels and facilitate the proper functioning of the nervous system. Finally, there are many things that people can do to prevent dehydration, but water requirements vary according to

CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION a. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Vinegars had been used at home solely for cooking. Most people are not aware that it actually has other uses at home like lighting small LED bulbs. Thus, when the researchers came across this project on the internet, we grabbed the opportunity of proving whether or not this is a possibility. With the cheap and readily-available materials, this project can provide households with an alternative source of light that can easily be done and

Hypernatremia and Hyponatremia Hypernatremia is a type of electrolyte disorder that occurs when there is increased serum sodium of 145meq/L or higher due to sodium retention. Oversecretion of aldosterone, adrenocorticotropic, contributes to the hypernatremia, the increased sodium concentration affects the respiratory system, the kidney, and the gastrointestinal system (Huether, & McCance, 2013). The thirst receptors in the hypothalamus is stimulated due to the water imbalance, which is hard to correct
