Source: Laboratory of Dr. Zhongqi He - United States Department of Agriculture Acids and bases are substances capable of donating protons (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-), respectively. They are two extremes that describe chemicals. Mixing acids and bases can cancel out or neutralize their extreme effects. A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral. The values of proton concentration ([H+]) for most solutions are inconveniently small and difficult to compare so that a more practical...

Gene transfection by electroporation is improved approximately two times when orientation of electric field is changed during pulse application, while cell viability is not affected. The increase in gene transfection is caused by the increase of the membrane area which is made competent for DNA entry into the cell.

A double stranded RNA interference (dsRNAi) technique is employed to down-regulate the maize cinnamoyl coenzyme A reductase (ZmCCR1) gene to lower plant lignin content. Lignin down-regulation from the cell wall is visualized by microscopic analyses and quantified by the Klason method. Compositional changes in hemicellulose and crystalline cellulose are analyzed.

The hydraulic capacitance of biomass is a key component of the vegetation water budget, which serves as a buffer against short and long-term drought stresses. Here, we present a protocol for the calibration and use of soil moisture capacitance sensors to monitor water content in the stems of large trees.
FAQs
An Ohm Meter determines resistance by combining a known electrical input with the test object's measured response. Its internal source applies a known voltage or current, and the instrument uses Ohm's law to calculate the resistance value. This relationship links the applied condition and observed response, allowing the reading to represent the component or material under test.
External power can alter the electrical response that an Ohm Meter is trying to measure, making the calculated resistance unreliable. More importantly, energized circuits can expose the instrument to conditions it was not designed to handle and may cause damage. Disconnecting circuit power before testing therefore protects the meter and improves confidence in the result.
Resistance values provide a practical way to interpret circuit condition. A reading can help verify a resistor value, check continuity, or indicate an open or short circuit. The instrument therefore does more than report a number: it connects a measured electrical response with a diagnostic conclusion about wiring or components.
First, the circuit should be de-energized. The Ohm Meter is then used to apply its internal known voltage or current across the test object. It measures the resulting response and calculates resistance using Ohm's law. The resulting value can then be compared with the expected component or wiring condition.
An Ohm Meter is useful when a resistor value needs verification, continuity must be checked, or an open or short circuit is suspected. In wiring and component assessment, the measured result helps locate a fault or confirm an expected electrical path. These checks also contribute to electrical safety.
In physics, these measurements connect circuit behavior with material properties. By observing the resistance of a test object, investigators can study how materials or components respond electrically and use the result in experiments involving circuit behavior. The same measurements support engineering evaluations of wiring and components, making resistance useful for laboratory analysis and practical assessment.
