In the liquid phase of water , activity is called Aw , and activity of water in the
vapor phase is designated by Av . Conversion of other colligative properties to
activity is quite simple ( see Table 5 . 1 ) . The critical equilibrium humidity will

The hypothesis which is currently used to explain water vapor uptake by ticks
involves the secretion of a fluid from the type I acini of the salivary glands at
irregular intervals . This fluid is thought to have hygroscopic properties which
allow it to ...
