What method of body composition assessment involves passing the body through a magnetic field?

MRI, which is not practical and is very expensive. The only people getting tested via MRI are subjects of a research project. The BOD POD has magnets to lock the door but you do not pass through a magnetic field. BOD PODs are available at many colleges and universities in Exercise Science or Nutrition departments.


What is TOD BOD in water quality measurement?

There are three OD's used Total Oxygen Demand (TOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) They all measure the amount of oxygen that would be required to consume organic material in the water, BOD is the lowest (usually) as it measures demand from microbes eating easily digested organics (sugars etc), COD measures the demand from all other organics (alcohols etc) measured by digesting the material in strong chemical oxidants, and TOD is the total of the two. Oxygen demand is important to know in waste handling as reducing the oxygen in receiving stream can harm fish and other aquatic life.

Why cod is greater than bod?

Type your answer here... It's not. Typically, COD is greater than BOD. The COD test is used primarily as an operational control because it takes only a matter of hours, compared to 5 days for the BOD test.

How to calculate BOD value in a sample?

if unseeded, BOD = (D1-D2)/Pif seeded, BOD = ((D1-D2)-(B1-B2)f)/PD1 = DO of diluted seeded wastewaterD2 = DO of wastewater after incubationB1 = DO of diluted seed sampleB2 = DO of seed sample after incubationf = ratio of seed volume in seeded wastewater test to seed volume in BOD test on seedP = decimal fraction of wastewater sample used. (vol. of wastewater)/(vol. of dilution water plus wastewater)Maybe that helps


Role of nitrifying bacteria in BOD test?

Nitrifying bacteria play a crucial role in the BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) test. They are responsible for oxidizing ammonia to nitrate in the presence of oxygen. This helps determine the amount of biodegradable organic matter in a sample, as the oxygen is consumed during this process. By measuring the decrease in dissolved oxygen, the BOD test provides an indication of the organic pollution level in water.
