I take roughly three meals every day with a small serving of an extra snack to complement at the end of the day. The size and portions of my serving may differ depending on how hungry I may be but overall I try to maintain a healthy eating habit with some elements being consistent like water and a fruit and vegetable serving to ensure I have not only very essential micronutrients but also non-nutrient elements like roughage to ease digestion and bowel movement while avoiding conditions like indigestion. On the very first day I took three meals on that ...

1. Exercising regularly is good for health. However, one should not be erratic about it i.e. one should have a plan and stick to it. Fitness also includes the food intake. One should have a balanced diet that gives all nutrients in the correct proportion. Exercise and food together lead to a healthy body. At times an overweight person will not be prepared to expose himself to others in a fitness centre. However, one should realise that it is to change this very situation that one need to keep oneself fit. As a result, one becomes more confident about ...

One of the best ways to know whether a certain food is high or low in a particular nutrient is to make the best use of Daily Value. Low does not necessary imply bad while high does not necessarily imply good. That is why it is important to know which nutrients are needed most and which nutrients are least needed in a particular serving. 5 and 20 Rule has been found to be the best rule of thumb (Abrams and Hawthorne, 2012). The terms “low” and “high” in the context of nutrients need to be well understood. The Daily ...

Objective

Fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) have demonstrated suitability for construction projects due to their strength and durability, while weighing very little. The attributes of FRPs were examined as well as, their applicability in hot, desert temperatures for road barriers and other road safety units.

Background – Composite Materials

Strength and stiffness are the main mechanical properties fibres add to composite materials. The fibres must have uniform diameter, similar strength between each fibre, and very large length-to-diameter ratio. Crystals within the fibre that are aligned with fibre length create high tensile strength. Fibres need to have air space and fibre packing needs to be random ...

Question 1

Stress and blood sugar levels are closely linked. Stress may be caused by various environmental factors. This is especially common in today’s society that comprises of things occurring at high speeds. When the body is under severe stress, the body releases stress hormones, such as cortisol. Stress hormones cause an automatic increase in the level of blood sugar. Adrenalin, which is released during instances of flight and flight, has a similar effect. The main reason for this kind of functionality is to enable the body to have sufficient energy to react to the cause of the stress. Under ...

Introduction

Tensile testing is usually conducted to select a material for its application, quality control, and to forecast how the material is likely to react on deployment of different types of forces. The properties evaluated through the tensile test include the ultimate tensile strength, the maximum elongation, X-area reduction and so forth. These evaluations facilitate determination of such properties as Young’s Modulus, yield strength, Poisson’s ratio, and the characteristics of strain hardening [1. 2]. Tensile testing on glass fibre is, thus, performed to determine the quality of the material it contains, and to ascertain its suitability for various applications.

Introduction

Composites are mixtures of at least two materials, such as reinforcing elements, fillers, and composite matrix binder. Compared to concrete and timber, composites are relatively lightweight. Different composites differ in form and/or composition on a macroscopic scale. Each component retainsits identity and does not dissolve or merge completely into one another. Composites are not generally used as fibres by themselves. They are often impregnated with a matrix material that transfers loads to the fibresand protects the fibres from abrasion and environmental attack. The useful properties of composites are diminished by the matrix to some extent but not fully. Thermoset ...

Skeletal muscles are complex and highly specialized group of cells that are not isomorphic but can be categorized in a heterogeneous group with different qualities. This heterogeneity of the skeletal muscles is important because ensures different sets of functions that skeletal muscles perform in the human body. This heterogeneity also enables a significant ability of the human organism to adapt to different conditions in life (Pette and Staron 2000). In addition of this heterogeneity, skeletal muscles also posses the ability of plasticity. This means that muscle cells can evolve and adapt to different stimuli and change their characteristics (Tavi and Westerblad ...

Setting up of a home internet network and an office

How should this person set-up a home wired network. (Let's leave wireless out of this for now.) Include a simple diagram showing the network. When setting up an internet network in an office, one must look at the speeds achievable and the purity of the data transmission. Obviously both DSL and cable internet have their virtues but DSL is probably better for this type of small office setup as it runs at a lower cost than cable which is also harder to install. One may use cable for a small network but as indicated, the costs are rather high when ...

The Debate between Prostitution and Drugs

The debate between prostitution and drugs has been raging on for a long time now, with the main argument seemingly being that many turn to prostitution in order to fund their drug habit. Prostitution can be defined as being “the performance of acts of non-marital sex as a vocation” (author, date, p29). In short, it is the exchanging of sexual acts for money and therein lies its controversy: some nations, such as The Netherlands, have created laws which allow prostitution to be legalised but many more have refused to do so, leading to prostitution being classified as something which greatly reduces ...

Despite a rise in liberal politics in recent years, homophobia is still a big social problem and this is, in part, due to the until-recently disproved view that homosexuality was something that could be ‘cured’ or as having a ‘cause’ (Herek 1). In short, many viewed homosexuality as being a psychological disorder and as with many things in society that do not fit in with the perceived idea of ‘normality,’ homosexuality was stigmatised. However, more and more countries and states are beginning to accept civil rights for homosexuals and ‘gay marriage’ is becoming a far more common concept too. As is ‘gay adoption’ where a ...

Aesthetics is a section of philosophy that addresses issues related to: Art, which includes drawing, pottery, painting and sculpturing; scenery of beauty and generally the admiration and gratification of beauty and magnificence.
