Heated hose pipes are the pipes that offer constant water supply in freezing temperatures. Mostly, they are built and designed to fit personal equipment, structure and requirements. Mainly, they are made up of thermostat switches. As temperature approaches freezing zones, the heat from the heaters keeps the water flowing if need arises. Mainly, the heating element used is copper wire. It’s mainly inside the hose pipeline. It mainly regulates the water flow by turning on and off the heater. The element is usually 50 feet long as it runs with the hose pipe. The length and diameter plays Continue reading...

Introduction

Building simulation methods should focus on the effect that occurs between convective heat repulsion between external air circulation and the given wall surfaces. This study will take a closer look on the effects of heat transfer on a brick surface. A tetrahedral mesh will be used to scertain for the effects that are caused on the walls. A brick wall is known for its thermal characteristic of absorbing heat. Therefore, this thermal property will also be studied in this study. Most authors have attributed this norm to behavior of the different correlations that are used to estimate the exact Continue reading...

Abstract

Recently, attention has been diverted to clean, alternative and renewable technologies due to the depletion of petroleum resources and increase of the green house gases from the combustion of fuel resources. Fuel cell is the fore-runner of these technologies and has received immense impetus due to its relatively clean source of energy. Fuel-cells are devices that produce electrical energy from chemical transformation reactions. Electrodes are placed within an electrolyte medium that facilitates oxidation of fuel. In these electrochemical reactions, ions are generated that generate electricity. This electrical energy can be effectively harnessed to carry out a myriad of functions. Continue reading...

Abstract
This paper examines the air pollution problem in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Heavy pollution in the city has become a concern because of the increasing cases of health problems. Many babies are being born with defects in vital organs, pregnant women are miscarrying and the level of respiratory disease cases has risen. Although burning of coal in homes, during winter, causes pollution other sources of pollution contribute as well. The high altitude and the mountains surrounding Ulaanbaatar worsen pollution in the city. In winter, the Siberian anticyclone causes the city to have temperature inversion and high pressure, which do not Continue reading...

Question 1

Question 2
An independent-samples t-test was conducted to compare DRA scores among students receiving phonics training and a control group .There was a significant difference in the scores for the phonics group (M=6.4, SD=1.64) and the control group (M=4.4, SD=1.42); t(18)=2.9, p = .01.

The mean and standard deviations for Degree of Reading Ability (DRA) scores for Year 4 students are presented in table 1.

In the current sample, the difference between the phonics group and the control group was statistically significant; the group receiving phonics training had scored significantly higher on the Degree of Reading Ability test than the group that did not receive the training. As the DRA is a measure reflecting reading fluency, these results indicate Continue reading...

Introduction

Although drinking tea has been said to have health benefits for many centuries, only recently have its medicinal value been investigated empirically. There are four general categories of tea. These are green, black, white, and oolong tea. Black tea and green tea are the most common types. Black tea, which is obtained after fermentation and oxidation through fermentation, is the most commonly consumed kind. However, recent research indicates that some nutrients and elements are lost through oxidation. Green tea, which is the least unprocessed kind of tea, contains antioxidant polyphenols, especially the catechins believed to contribute to health benefits. Continue reading...

The House of God is a hilarious novel with information on everything doctors do not want patients to know. The author based the story on his experience at the Beth Israel Hospital. The novel caused a scandal when it first appeared. The work glamorized traits of dehumanizing and unprofessional attitudes towards ailing patients, which are a set of very unethical issues. Such include a sadistic and dark humor such as how to “turf” patients to other specialties. Another idea is that GOMERs go round.
The text promotes a detachment from the patient, which causes them to act in ways Continue reading...
