Humidity

Workers who are exposed to high temperature and humidity or work in a hot environment are at risk of heat stress. Circulating blood to the skin and through sweating is the key to get rid of extra heat to balance a stable internal temperature. When the body is not able to cool itself, the body’s core temperature and heart rate increase and several heat-related illnesses could occur [1]. Appropriate clothing is encouraged to wear during working in extreme heat environment. However, protective…

The internship of Chowan Athletics sports medicine team has given the insight and basic knowledge of why athletic training is important in the sport world. Before starting my internship, I had a one on one meeting with the supervisor Eric Gustafson to go over the rules and responsibilities as an intern. The purpose of the meeting is go over the rules and goals of the internship. Eric had given me advice to finish all the basic and Advanced level competencies due to I will have to complete…

For years, people have been studying the effect that the climate has on objects such as wood and metal. It is common knowledge that some objects can sometimes expand or contract, depending the temperature and humidity of the environment that they are located in. People see it every day. It is the same reason that power lines seem to sag less in the winter, and why a tight jar lid is much easier to remove when hot water is ran over it. This very same effect can be seen in guitars,…

Take Home Final Exam 1. a. In my experiment there would be three experimental groups: the first would have both nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), the second would only have N, and the third would only have P; all three groups can be tested in order between April and mid-June where the graph shows the lake had some of the highest biomass of Diatoms, Dinoflagellates, and Green algae. The independent variables would be the N and P in each experimental group and the amount added in each setting;…

Outdoor mold can attach itself to your clothing or pets and be carried inside, or it can start growing suddenly due to leaks or flooding. No matter how it takes hold, mold remediation should be your priority before it can get worse. Warmth and humidity help mold grow, but really, it thrives…

Essentially, microclimatic conditions are critical parameter for the use of outdoor spaces. There are four basic environmental parameters influencing the overall thermal comfort (refer to figure 2.1). It include: air temperature, radiation, relative humidity and wind velocity, (Johansson, and Emmanuel, 2006; Huang, 2007 and Makaremi, et al., 2012). These parameters affect human response to thermal environments (Parsons, 2003; Noor Hanita, 2004). The tolerance of outdoor thermal environments…

Many homeowners know that having mold in their homes is bad, yet they are unaware of exactly how bad it is for their health. Mold can spread and grow anywhere in a home or business as long as there is oxygen and moisture present. Mold releases spores that can center your home through windows, vents, and doorways. It can also be brought into a home by attaching to clothing or a pet. Mold is most commonly found in basements that have been flooded, underneath or behind refrigerators, and underneath…

too long. • Beer that was previously stored in refrigerator should not be left to room temperature. • Bottles should be kept away from direct UV rays and light as this can cause premature aging of wine. • Ensure the humidity levels of the bar or restaurant are properly monitored. Humidity should be kept under 70%. • Store the wine bottles sideways so the corks will stay moist. • Try not to store beer on its side for long period as this can create a yeast ring (or water-mark) inside the bottle,…

5. Physical Security Devices a) Employee Identification Badges / Smart Cards: The company should provide employees with picture identification badges with a smart chip and magnetic strip. The company will provide unique public-key infrastructure (PKI) certificates on the employee’s smart chip, which will allow user access to the company network. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) capable cards should not be used. While they are more convenient for access control than swipe cards, an…
