Abstract

The experiment was done to investigate the relative roughness of pipe three though a plot of the friction factor verses the Reynolds number. A comparison of the obtain results was made against a Moody diagram. Also, additional comparison of the experimental results obtained from pipe 1 and 2 were made against theoretical values obtained through Prandtl and Blasius equations. This process entailed plotting the theoretical and the experimental values on the same comparative roughness against Reynolds number chart. Additional results of different types of flow, exhibited by the flowing fluid, was done and represented in a graph of head ...

The management of chronic diabetes self-care programs is mainly the responsibility of the patient. In primary care, nurses normally emphasize the prevention of complications and adherence to diabetes self management regimes.

This paper describes the process of implementing a protocol for motivational interviewing for diabetes patients at Ben Taub Hospital in Houston, Texas.

Intelligence is a broad term which has various meaning attached to it, in all the languages of the world. Philosophers have been trying to understand and explain the meaning of the term ‘intelligence’ since centuries, and each one of them has come up with their own exemplification of the term. For example, Einstein terms intelligence, not as the occupation of knowledge, but it is more of imagination and creativity. Socrates, on the other hand, believes that intelligence is the self-knowledge of claiming that one knows nothing. Moving from philosophers, people have considered understanding the meaning of the term from ...

(Fletcher, G. 1998) defines criminal law as an embodiment of legislation that relates to crimes committed on day to day life. These laws are relative owing to the fact that each and every country has its own; the laws define what activity amounts to a crime and the penalty for the commitment of each. These laws limit the conduct of citizens and ban any activity that would cause harm, endanger or threaten the wellbeing of other members of the society.

A strong debate has been forming regarding the correlation of the Tel Dan inscription with the description of the battle depicted in 2 Kings 9 of the Old Testament. The Tel Dan Stele was located in 1993 and 1994 in Tel Dan, and it depicts various victories in battle against Israel and the House of David. The author of the stele is strongly implied to be Hazael, a king of Damascus. It is entirely possible that the Tel Dan inscription can provide “a different view of the death of Jehoram king of Israel than that provided in the Bible” (Demsky, p. 72). ...
