Tropical Rain Forests

They are located near wet tropical lowlands and uplands nearby the equator. A good example is the Amazon River rainforest found in Peru. The structure of the tropical rain forest can be described as full of ferns and shrubs and other plants that require less light. Tall trees forming canopies are common and hence the floor of the forest is dark and damp. It has many layers of decomposing animals and leaves. The biotic components include bamboo and rubber trees, lemurs, poison dart frogs, and anteaters. On the other hand, abiotic components comprise of water, light, rocks, and soil.

Pay discrimination occurs when people with the same qualification and experience have different pay levels. The most relevant pay discrimination we see today is what we call the gender pay gap or the pay discrimination between men and women.

In psychology, there is a learning theory that states that as we learn, we adjust the manner in which we perceive our environment and the manner in which we interpret the incoming stimuli. Consequently, all this alters the way we interact, or behave. It is from this theory that one learns about behaviorism. The latter is the study or our behaviors after exposure to given stimuli within the environment. This helps us in understanding the effects given stimuli have on us. In the learning theory, we have classical and operant conditioning. In classical conditioning, one learns to associate one ...

Oxygen Saturation is a key parameter that is measured by Intensivists and doctors all over the world, and specifically in the critical care environments, since brain cannot survive beyond a couple of minutes without oxygen. This parameter needs constant monitoring of all critically ill patients. Oxygen saturation is usually measured today by inserting a thimble-like cap on one of the patient’s fingers, which is in turn attached to a monitor. There are a number of resulting leads that get attached to the patient’s body like the BP monitor and other cardiac leads. This is usually in addition to other intubations a patient might ...
