Elevation

Tibetans, Andeans and Ethiopians are three small tribes who live in high elevations and conditions that, for lowlanders, would be considered hazardous and unsafe; but for them, it is an everyday life struggle. Just like those who live in remote, extreme climates, like the Inuits, these tribes have changed their whole genetic make-up in order to survive these conditions peacefully. Communities living in high altitudes and climates could be prime examples of how to survive in the harshest…

Boechera stricta Boechera stricta, belongs to mustard family Brassicaceae. It is restricted to higher elevations and faces both abiotic (e.g. drought) and biotic stressors (e.g. herbivore) at low elevation range limits (Rushworth et al. 2011). For understanding genetic controls on ecologically, these species are very important which provide further understanding of underlying mechanisms in natural populations as compared to artificial lab experiments. Boechera stricta is widely distributed in…

longer swollen. Compression- Compress the ankle to get rid of the swelling. Elevation- Elevate the ankle above the heart. Stage 2: Sub-Acute Stage (days 3-14) During this time, I will make the patient try and gradually put weight on the foot, a little bit more with each day. Towards the end, I will try to get him to get back into his old walking pattern, so a lifelong limp doesn’t develop. Icing, compression and elevation are…

“(We’re the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation to do something about it)”-Jay Inslee. Climate change is the inevitable future and without the proper precautions the Earth will face a Global Environmental crisis. There are a number of natural factors that affect our climate for instance ocean currents play a big role in our climate. How do Ocean Currents work? well in hot places when the ocean water evaporates the salt stays behind making it warmer.…

Explain how Newton 's first law applies to air bags, seat belts, and headrests. Newton’s first law applies to air bags, seat belts, and headrests in terms of keeping your body at rest while you are driving, which in turn will keep you safe. When you crash your car, the motion of your body in the car matches the motion of the century itself, so when it crashes, your body has the tendency to stay in motion. So, with the headrest, seatbelt, and airbag, they are all designed to slow down the forward…

An invasive approach including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves clinical outcomes in clients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and in clients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS) (Mehta et al., 2012). Periprocedural major bleeding is a strong autonomous predictor of early and late major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality (Bertrand, Larose, & Rodes-Labau, 2009; Verneugt, Steinhubl, & Hamon, 2011; as cited in Bernat et al.…

hyperglycemia causes the significant elevation of plasma levels of urea, uric acid and creatinine when compared with the normal group, while after treatment of Kombucha to the diabetic rats the levels of urea, uric acid and creatinine significantly reduced. This indicates that treatment with Kombucha normalized the urea, uric acid and creatinine…

“The ferry across Earth to Heaven…: an Intuitionist black box” (Whitehead 98). In The Intuitionist, the black box, believed to be finished by James Fulton (63), is treated as a messiah, a panache to every problem every character faces. The protagonist of the book, Lila Mae, is a colored female Intuitionist elevator inspector with a perfect record. However, after her inspection, the elevator Number Eleven falls into a “total freefall [which] is a physical impossibility” (35). The fall damages…

decreases with increasing altitude, and as a result, the boiling point of water deceases as elevation increases. Since pressure and temperature are directly correlated to each other, when the pressure (PSIA) is…

6. Three Nutrient Agar Plate (NAP) were contaminated as follow to illustrate that there are microorganism all around us and to demonstrate the necessity for proper aseptic technique. a) The lid of the first agar plate was removed and the exposed agar was placed in the building on the laboratory rack for 3 hours. The lid was replaced and labelled as “air”. It was then incubated at room temperature. b) A second Petri plate was divided in half using a marker. Two cotton sterile swab were moisten in…
