Introduction Gastric volvulus is a rare but potentially life threatening condition that is defined by the pathological rotation of the stomach. There are many factors that contribute to the pathophysiology of this condition, for example laxity of the gastric ligaments. Gastric volvulus can be categorized according to the axis of the rotation and may result in an organoaxial, mesenteroaxial, or combined volvulus of the stomach1. This condition can be primary or secondary, with secondary being…

In this project the aim is to determine the equilibrium constant (Kc) of a weak base when it reacts with a weak acid. The chemicals I wish to determine the equilibrium constant for are, Ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) and Propanol (C3H7OH). To accomplish this, the first question we must ask is, “what is an equilibrium constant and how is it determined”? There are 2 different types of equilibrium. The first, and the type we shall be using is known as homogeneous equilibrium which has everything present…

deep below the waterline.” Eaton, John, Haas, Charles; page 16. Source 3 states that April 14, 11:40 P.M., 1912, “An ice burg is sighted dead ahead, but Titanic is sailing at almost 21 knots and cannot be turned quickly enough to port to avoid a collision along her starboard side.” National Geographic: Titanic, page 98. Also stating on source 3 is on April 15, 1:50 a.m. 1912, “ Two hours of steady flooding settles the bow. The ship gradually lists to port, and by about 1:50 a.m. the water…

involving boats running over or hitting the Atlantic Sturgeon. Uncountable numbers of any species of fish get massacred in the onslaught of massive boats every day. Very large numbers of deceased fish was up on shore completely ravaged. These boat collisions are rare since the Atlantic Sturgeon is a bottom dweller and they spend most of their time at depths of 1,000 feet or more in bodies of water where that is possible. Intakes for dams and nuclear power plants also kill billions of fish and…

that which he considers to be morally wrong. The play's historical context of the Vietnam War is not accidental. Lawrence and Lee believe that "the Now Thoreau" can speak to a new generation of young and old people who are confronted with the collision between what their government is doing and what is morally right. Thoreau is shown to be someone who not only refuses to fold in the face of authority, but actually recognizes that what is worth believing is worth fighting for and being shared…

People think football is too dangerous because of all the hits and collisions. People think there is no good point to football. People think that it’s a waste of time. But, it’s actually a really good sport. One reason football is a great sport is because it’s competitive. It’s competitive because one big play could lead to endless bragging rights. Every time I step onto the field I always want to do better than the person next to me. No matter what it is, it always gives me that drive to do…

Speeding increases the likelihood of crashing, and reduces your ability to react to an impending crash. It also increases the potential damage done to you and your vehicle in the event of an accident. Going above the speed limit even a little bit increases the chance of a crash. Car accidents cause some of the most deaths in the United States, speed being a factor in many of these crashes. The faster you’re travelling, the slower you can react and then brake, making speeding a very deadly…

in faster rates of enzyme activity. Therefore, if the opposite were to occur, then the reaction will slow down and not function properly. For concentration, my hypothesis was proved to be correct. The undiluted solution had higher frequencies of collision at the active site of the enzyme and substrate. Which means the percent of amylose as well as absorbance level was higher compared to the diluted samples. The result on the effect of pH on enzyme activity prove my hypothesis to be correct. As…

navigation path through traffic. It will also be able to recognize signs to navigate to its final destination. Vehicle to Pedestrian (V2P) The USDOT pedestrian, V2P, technology objective is to identify and assess when there is a potential pedestrian collision to both the drive and pedestrian. V2P will have the capabilities to “sense” its surroundings like the environment and infrastructure, it will be able to communicate to other vehicles, and cell phones. The category of pedestrian includes…

and they would still use them. There will be no one to enforce the banning of them so there is no point. Drones aren't all bad there are ones that are used specifically for delivering of packages. We will need to invent a system that prevents collisions of multiple drones and of planes and drones. If we just have a barrier so that we keep the military drones away from all of the other ones we’ll be fine. Drones are coming if we like it or not we just have to be prepared and deal with it.…
