Above: The Fox Hole Radio built with a WWII-era âbluedâ razor blade and pencil lead for the detector. Note the bamboo coil form and the paper clip attached to a cork used to slide along the coil turns to tune the radio. The orange wire goes to the antenna, the black wire to ground.
FIV is diagnosed with a âsnapâ test, usually in combination with the Felv test. A positive FIV test almost always indicates active infection. The exception is young kittens born to an FIV positive queen. Young kittens possess antibodies to FIV from mom, but may not actually have the disease. So, if you have an FIV positive kitten, before panicking, have the kitten retested at 6 months of age.
If the FVC and the FEV1 are within 80% of the reference value, the results are considered normal. The normal value for the FEV1/FVC ratio is 70% (and 65% in persons older than age 65).When compared to the reference value, a lower measured value corresponds to a more severe lung abnormality. (See table below.).his is a measurement of lung size (in liters) and represents the volume of air in the lungs that can be exhaled following a deep inhalation. The second is the forced expiratory volume-one second (FEV1) . This is a measure of how much air can be exhaled in one second following a deep inhalation.
