At what temperature will Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers display the same reading?
-40
As we have formula for converting temperature C= F-32x5/9
so if we put the value -40 in Fahrenheit
C=-40-32x5/9
C=-72x5/9
C=-360/9
C=-40
and in other formula F=Cx9/5+32
so put the same value
F=-40x9/5+32
F=-360/5+32
F=-72+32
F=-40
So here prove that -40C=-40F

Valium and xanax are benzodiazepines and are not tested for on a DOT drug screen at all. In fact, it is illegal to test for these substances on a federal DOT test. The DOT drug screen looks for marijuana, opiates, PCP, amphetamines and cocaine. There's no such thing as a drug it's illegal to test for according to the DOT; they could test you for steroids if they wanted to. The reason they only test fpr those five drugs is that they're the five drugs most likely to be found in a trucker's urine. Considering that most drivers who do drugs are doing so to stay awake, why would any trucker do downers?

For an Ativan (lorazepam) overdose, the typical initial dosage of flumazenil is 0.2 mg administered intravenously over 30 seconds. If the desired level of sedation reversal is not achieved, additional doses of 0.3 mg can be given after 60 seconds, with a maximum total dose of 3 mg. It is important to monitor the patient closely, as flumazenil can precipitate seizures in patients with benzodiazepine dependence. Always consult medical guidelines or a healthcare professional for specific cases.
