mortars. The geopolymer binders with WTS and the additional RHA became the mortars more consistent and difficult to mix and mold, and the entrapped air remained in the mortars. Fig. 7 shows the capillary water absorption. The higher the WTS content in the mixture, the lower the capillary water…

Ventilation and perfusion work together in the body to provide oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide. Ventilation provides tissue and organs oxygen by the process of mechanical inspiration and exhalation of the lungs. This provides the alveoli within the lungs with oxygen, as well as the ability to expel waste products like carbon dioxide. Perfusion provides the tissues and organs with oxygen by the mechanism of diffusion between the pulmonary capillaries and alveoli. Ventilation Ventilation…

Diffusion across this pressure gradient is so effective that the capillary blood is fully oxygenated by the time it has passed through 1/3rd of the alveolar capillary network (Grossman & Porth, 2014). Ficks law of diffusion describes the relationship between factors that influence diffusion rates. It can be used to look at diffusion between the alveoli and this pulmonary capillary network. These factors include the partial pressure difference of gas (p1-p2), the thickness (T) and surface area…

Introduction: Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis is a malignancy caused by uncontrolled proliferation of the Langheran’s cell line with associated granulomatous deposition. The disease exists in a wide spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from localized skin manifestation to diffuse disease with neurological involvement. Typically, diabetes insipidus occurs when the hypothalamic-pituitary axis is affected by histiocytic infiltration. Langheran’s cell histiocytosis can be confirmed by…

On the southwest corner of 6th and Mt. Rushmore, there is a sign that says, "Welcome to Little Italy." The building next to the sign is a quadplex that shares many small businesses. This is a "mom and pop shop" area of town. Just to the north of all these businesses is an area where most of the drug addict and alcoholic population spend their time. This was a crime infested area with king pins in all sorts of drug categories. Our dispatcher received a call on. October 2nd, 2016 about a finding…

Adelaide Fringe: Adulting Hi guys, I’m Jack! There is nothing better from the Mad March rather than the Adelaide Fringe. So, today, I’m going to talk about my experience about Adelaide Fringe Festival this year. The Adelaide Fringe festival runs every year from the 18th of February to 18th of March and it’s the biggest ticket selling arts festival with free entrance into the showgrounds! Most years, I attend the fringe together with my family and friends for a fun night out. So this year,…

Answer to Question No. 1 (a) Fringe benefit refers to the benefit that is provided toan employee or an associate of the employee by the employer or associate of an employer in any given year in respect of the employment of the employee.

Benefit refers to anything that is provided to the employee by the employer which he would actually have to incur himself if the benefit was not provided by the employer. It aims…

On December 2nd, 2016 at the Constance theatre the dance department presented a show called Agbedidi. The show, directed and choreographed by Mohamed DaCosta and Trent D. Williams, Jr., displayed a combination of Traditional African and Contemporary Dance. The house buzzed with excitement as the start of the show approached. It is quite encouraged to see such a large audience at an event, but this audience also brought a positive, vibrant atmosphere for the dancers to soak up. I was curious to…

A water table marks the top of the saturated zone of groundwater. When something is saturated, it means one substance (Like soil) is filled with another substance (Like water). Therefore, the area filled with water is called the saturated zone. This zone can be called the phreatic zone or the zone of saturation. This is always the zone below the water table. Directly above a water table there is always a capillary fringe. The water table separates the capillary fringe from the zone of…

Mucilaginous secretions produced by microscopic algae are probably important in helping to stabilize fine sediments. The animal population of sandy shores mainly dwells below the surface, but includes some species which at times emerge to crawl or swim. Along the upper parts of some sandy beaches is a zone where the sand dries out and air penetrates during intervals between periods of submergence. This is the littoral fringe of the sandy shore, which in the British Isles is often inhabited…
