Abstract:

The principal intention of this study was to come up with the most conducive internal environment in a building. At any given moment, the internal temperature of a building is a function of the amount of heat produced by sources therein and the net heat transfer into or out of the building. The four heat transfer modes are convection, radiation, conduction, and phase- change. In executing this project, the researchers sought the relevant literature to establish the thermal properties of various materials. The properties are critical in determining the amount of heat inflow and exit from the building. The ...

Cardiovascular system

The cardiovascular system is also known as the circulatory system, and it is the body’s transportation system that comprises the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The system does the work of transporting oxygen, hormones, cellular waste products and nutrients to all the parts of the body. The use of blood transports all the products, and it is approximated that the body of an adult makes use of five liters of blood to transport the products from one part to the other. Blood is pumped from the heart through the arteries then gets into body tissues through capillaries (Inner ...

Introduction

Initially, the problem of evil was tied to the syllogism that everything was created by God and since evil is a thing, therefore evil was also created by God. However, this approach to the problem of evil was devastating to Christians core belief of God being an omnibenevolent God. St. Augustine, therefore, sought to provide a solution to the problem and formulated an approach that prompted two syllogisms which stated that, according to the bible, all of Gods creation are good. Evil cannot be considered as good. Therefore, evil is not a part of God’s creation. The second ...

Ventilator-associated pneumonia

Abstract The intensive care unit in most hospitals plays the role of providing care to patients dealing with life-threatening conditions. The technological and other set ups in these hospital units are vital in ensuring that these patients continue to receive the best regarding care while with the intentions of having them emerge with desirable outcomes. There are however challenges relating to the care that these patients receive since, in most cases, they are usually under mechanical ventilation. A patient under this condition faces the risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia if the ventilators are not handled with the required care. ...

Cysticerus

Cysticercus refers to a tapeworm larva which has a sac filled with fluid that contains scolex which is invaginated. It is normally located within the immediate host tissues, with the capability of developing into mature tapeworm when a desirable host feeds on it ("Cysticercus | Definition of Cysticercus by Merriam-Webster."). Cysticerci are responsible for causing an infection known as cysticercosis. There are several species of cysticerci. The two common species of cysticercus are Tanenia solium whose larva is known as Cysticercus cellulosae. It develops in the swine muscles frequently. The second species is the Taeniarhynchus saginatus. Its larva is known ...

Introduction

The exchange of respiratory gas is limited by the capacity of the respiratory muscles to circulate air in the lung. Ventilation fails when muscles do not have the capacity to cope with the load brought by the mechanics of the pulmonary system. It is crucial to comprehend the mechanics of respiration/breathing not only for purposes of diagnosing how the system has failed and to offer the correct prescription for treatment of the failure, but to be capable of providing the most effectual temporary respiratory support through the use of a mechanical ventilator, as well. The first category explains the ...

The administration of proper medication is essential to the treatment of a health complication. As such, medical practitioners need to enforce proper measures in the issuance of medicine to enhance the betterment of patients (Bojesen et al. 375).

This study will be in line with the code of conduct for Oncologists since the medical practitioner in this scenario deals with cancer patients. Since the maintenance of confidentiality is essential to the success of the medical practice, the practitioners’ and patient’ ...

(Student’s Full Name)

According to John Arend, Mike Benkert, Audrey deFilippis and Saretta Tillmaand, when the Commerzbank building opened its doors in 1997, the “53-story” edifice became the one of the “tallest” buildings located in Europe (1). Nevertheless, the edifice’s distinctiveness did not come from its height, but, rather, it came from the way in which it combined “form, inventiveness, and technical expertise” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & Tillmaand 1). The design and construction of the Commerzbank saw the “[b]reaking away from the American model of deep-planned, air-conditioned structures” that have a “central service core” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & ...

The nervous system (NS) denotes a collection of human body organs as well as connections, which have expressly differentiated cells referred as neurons or other specialized biochemicals, tissues, and supportive cells that assist in the normal working of the human body NS (Swanson, 2015). The human nervous system helps in addressing acquisition, processing, understanding, storing, as well as coordinating or transmitting signals in the body. Therefore, many body organs, as well as sensory organs, possess discrete and different roles. The nervous system (NS) can be categorized into two, that is, peripheral nervous system (PNS) as well as central nervous ...

The process of inhalation or inspiration can be explained simply by the intake of air. In some cases, this process is further described as the transfer of the oxygen to the bloodstream and then to the blood cells. Further, this is followed by the release of the carbon dioxide from the cells to the bloodstream and pumping it to the lungs, from where the waste carbon dioxide is expelled to the environment. The oxygen enters into the body from the outside environments through inspiration. This process of inspiration includes the contraction of the diaphragm along with the internal and ...

Question 1. Insect-eating birds will decrease in number since their source of food has been reduced. The birds may also migrate to warmer areas during this period.

Question 2.

The habitat is the specific place where the organism lives e.g. a fish’s habitat is water. On the other hand, niche is the position and the role played by the organism in an ecosystem. It includes how the organism obtain food and shelter, the mode of survival, and the mode of reproduction (Sutton & Anderson, 2009, p. 46). For instance, a lion’s niche in the ecosystem is that of a predator.Question ...

1. There are four essential components of a physical exam: inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. These parts of the physical exam should take place regardless of what organ system are being evaluated. Inspection involves looking at the patient and diagnosing any non-normal physical findings. A good example of this is bruising seen on the abdomen during an abdominal exam. The next part of the examination is palpation. Here the physician will feel for any abnormal findings, such as masses or abscesses. Following palpation is percussion. During this step, the physician uses their hands to produce a sound and can ...

Packaging is the coordinated system of preparing goods for transport, storage and consumption by the end-user. An appropriate packaging material should protect the capsules from environmental conditions, should be non-toxic, should not react with the product, should not impart taste or odor to the product and should meet the required tamper resistance. There are three types of packaging; primary, secondary and tertiary packaging. Primary packaging is the material that is in contact with the capsule. Secondary packaging is outside the primary packaging and is used to store primary packages together. Tertiary packaging is used for bulk handling of products ...

Introduction

Pulmonary edema (PE) is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the parenchyma and air spaces of the lungs. Most often PE is associated with respiratory failure and impaired gas exchange. Globally, PE is known to be characterized by two major factors, the first is associated with the injury of the lung parenchyma which is termed as non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. The second is associated with the failure of the left ventricle of the heart to release blood from the pulmonary circulation within the system and is termed as cardiogenic pulmonary edema (Glaus, Schellenberg , and Lang. 2010). The major cause ...
