Current produced by thermocouples. My understanding is that the thermocouple voltage is strictly a function of the temperature. Apparently this is called the Seebeck Voltage. Like any voltage source there is an internal resistance associated with it due to real world effects.
HIV/AIDS. Condoms for HIV prevention. Condoms, when used correctly and consistently, are highly effective in preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). A large body of scientific evidence shows that male latex condoms have an 80% or greater protective effect against the sexual transmission of HIV and other STIs.
The transmission of disease from region to region--and of course from country to country--has broadened the force of this argument in recent years. So instead, it offered a dubious argument that condoms were ineffective in preventing the transmission of disease.
