1. Introduction Anthropometrics is a Greek term meaning “man measure”. To appreciate anthropometrics you must be able to understand how you can relate your own body features to others in terms of: size, shape, strength etc. Anthropology is not just restricted to biological features such as: human nature, evolution or genetic, it is also concerned with the social aspects of live. Aspects such as religion, politics and languages are elements that are not always associated with anthropometrics.…

Jupiter Jupiter is often referred to as “Gas Giant” due to it being the largest planet in the solar system as well as its composition of primarily hydrogen and carbon. The planet has an average temperature of -145 degrees Celsius. Its full name of Jupiter comes from the king of the Roman gods. Galileo Galilei discovered Jupiter along with its four largest moons on January 4th 1609. The planet’s iconic red, white, brown, and yellow stripes are due to regional changes. The white and yellow stripes…

underlying problems that can cause delay or deficit in the normal development and functioning of an infant (URMC, 2014). This paper will discuss the proper examination of behavior, cranial nerves, tone, positioning, reflexes, head sutures and head circumference of a newborn and how they relate to a neurological examination (University of Utah Medical Center…

These tools are the individual’s body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and risk factors, The BMI is a tool used for children but does not give an accurate picture of an adult who is considered to be obese using just the BMI calculations. Doctors also measure the waist circumference to measure the central obesity. When assessing risk factors, the doctors take into account the individual’s current diagnosis, such as diabetes…

Introduction: Photosynthesis powers ecosystems and provides the Earth’s atmosphere with oxygen. It is a reaction that requires water, carbon dioxide and energy from the sun to produce glucose and oxygen. In the process of photosynthesis water is oxidised and carbon dioxide is reduced. The process of photosynthesis consists of two parts; a light-dependent reaction and a light-independent reaction. In the light dependent reaction the energy from light moves the electrons from a photosystem…

Eratosthenes In Professor Russ physical science class, there’s a plethora of subjects you, as a student, are bound to cover. This semester we had discuss over twenty different fields of science; the first being Geometry and Eratosthenes computing circumference of earth. We started the final semester off with two worksheets. The first was the “Angles of a Triangle”, we had to cut out the three angles of the triangle and piece them together in a shape. The three angles form a straight line;…

local trust criteria for being offered bariatric surgery services, which was; BMI>35 with NIDDM and/or OSAHS an appointment at the bariatric surgery clinic was issued. At the first clinic visit a complete history; initial weight, BMI, height, neck circumference, waist, blood pressure and co-morbidities were recorded. The patients themselves completed an Epworth Sleepiness Score form and if the ESS score was>11 they were referred to the respiratory physicians team for further assessment and…

According to (Narayan et al,2000), Type 2 diabetes is a very common chronic illness suffered by 2.5 million people in UK. The concerning figures of diabetes are estimated to increase by 42% in industrialised countries and 170% in industrialising countries between 1995 and 2025 (Narayan et al,2000). In this essay I will be discussing about the the relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes, genetic susceptibility towards causing type 2 diabetes and effects of obesity on the functioning of…

It has been alleged that Galileo said those memorable words when he was released after the famous trial during which he was forced to repudiate his convictions about the earth moving around the sun. The message of Eppur si muove ("And yet it moves") was very subtle and important: despite my public deny, and the Church's proclamation on the contrary, the earth does, in fact, move around the sun and not the opposite. Galileo's words have huge epistemological importance: despite the Church's values…

The final results of the experiment showed that the area under the graph of the absolute values of the EMG is a linear relation to the strength of the muscle contraction. This is due to the amount of force a muscle produce. As I squeezed the bulb in my hand harder, the duration of the burst of activity increases with the duration of the muscle contraction. So depending on the amount of fibers participating in the contractions this can contribute to the graded contractions. As my grip became…
