Do you know a lot of Americans die in their sleep? The have Sleep Apnea and do not know it. The solution to sleep apnea is having a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure(CPAP) machine and knowing how to operate it. Operating a CPAP machine is an easy six steps process, that you connect and put together less than five minutes
The first step is ordering the CPAP machine. It comes with S9 device and an H5i device humidifier, power supply unit, tubing, and assembled mask unit.
The second step, you need a nightstand or flat surface next to the bed. On the flat surface, align the S9 device and the H5i humidifier. Push them together until they click. Connect the plug of the power supply unit to the rear of the S9 device. Connect the power cord

You need to pull out the mask assembly and inspect for any cracks and then connect it to the air tubing. Ensure it on tight, so the air does not leak out.
The fifth step is filling your H5i water tub. Slide the silver latch on the front of the device and lift open the flip lid. Remove the water tub. Through the center hole, fill the water tub with room temperature (do not use hot or cold) distilled water up to the max water level mark. Warning! Filling the water tub while still in humidifier may damage the unit, voiding warranty. Overfilling the water tub may result in water splashing through the tubing. Return the water tub to the H5i. Close the flip lid, ensuring that it clicks into place.
The sixth step is operating. Press the start/stop button to start and stop your treatment. After a few seconds, the menu will automatically open to your humidifier setting. If the smart start/stop feature is enabled, simply breathe into the mask to start the flow of air. Airflow will shut off after a few seconds when the mask is removed. Warning! Airflow may stop if there is a high leak from your mask or tube. If this should happen, pull the mask away from your face and check for a secure fit. Make sure not to overtighten mask as this can increase leak. Adjust your humidifier setting by first turning the dial, then press down on the dial to lock in the desired settings. The screen

    Pill Bug Experiment

    Purpose The purpose of this lab is to investigate animal behaviors by diving into the world of ethology. There are two ways pill bugs will respond to environmental stimuli: Kinesis (non-directional response) and taxis (directional response). Kinesis occurs when organisms (randomly) move around quickly when they’re unhappy and slowly when they’re happy, which is best demonstrated when one lifts up a rock or other material that the pill bugs are under. In contrast to the simpler response that does not necessarily involve many neurons, taxis is often observed in response to changes in light, heat, moisture, sound, and/or chemicals (odor).…

    Introduction: There is a direct relationship between temperature and pressure in gases. The relationship can be proven by measuring pressure, which is measured with a pressure sensor, and temperature, which is measured with a temperature probe. Two areas remain constant throughout this experiment, which are volume of the gas and the number of molecules the gas itself contains. In this experiment, using the constructed apparatus, an Erlenmeyer flask with an air sample will be placed in four different water baths, which vary in temperature. Following this, a mathematical relationship between pressure and absolute temperature of a gas can be determined.…

    PURPOSE/QUESTION The question that we will answer using this laboratory report is, “How is the rate of dissolving sugar affected by changing the temperature of the water, changing the rate of stirring, and changing the size of the crystal?” The independent variable of each laboratory experiment is different, however they are all being changed to get consistent and effective results for one dependent variable. The three independent variables are the temperature of water, rate of stirring and size of the crystal and the dependent variable of the all the experiments is the rate of sugar dissolving. HYPOTHESES Below are the laboratory experiment hypotheses that we have formed as a group to figure out what will happen to the rate of dissolving under…
