In August 2012, BlazeMeter announced a partnership with Acquia a commercial open source software company providing products, services, and technical support for the open source Drupal content management system.
Chemical buffers of the body include the bicarbonate, phosphate, and protein buffer systems. Chemical buffers are single or paired sets (a weak acid and its salt) of molecules that act rapidly to resist excessive shifts in pH by releasing or binding H+.
Ordinarily, chemical and physiological buffer systems maintain the hydrogen ion concentration of body fluids within very narrow pH ranges. Abnormal conditions may disturb the acid-base balance. For example, the pH of arterial blood is normally 7.35-7.45. A value below 7.35 produces acidosis.
