Humidity

Despite having lived in Georgia for the past couple of years and having dealt with the immense heat and humidity there, I was still unprepared for the heat of the Arizona summer. As an experienced hiker, I thought of myself as experienced enough to deal with the heat and smart enough to not have to worry about it. I would find out all too soon that I was neither experienced enough nor smart enough to deal with the Arizona heat. I left my house at four in the morning, reasoning that since…

the criterion for choosing the optimum switching time is set. 4.1. Fluidized Bed Model 4.1.1. Model Assumptions 1- The bed is perfectly mixed hence; all particles have the same temperature and moisture content at any given time. Air temperature and humidity changes are functions of time. 2- Intra-particle diffusion resistance…

Introduction Bernabucci et al., 2009 described a reduction in feed intake by finishing lambs as a result of heat stress conditions. Dávila-Ramírez et al., 2014 hypothesized that the use of β-adrenergic agonists as a feeding management strategy to improve carcass characteristics in reduced feed intake lambs. Zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) use in steers resulted in the mobilization of tissue from visceral organs and directed these nutrients to carcass tissues during periods of ZH supplementation…

Wrinkled Fingers Have you ever wondered why do humans get wrinkly fingers and toes when submerged in water by a period of time? According to the article “Wet Wrinkled Fingers Evolved for Better Grip” from The New York Times Magazine, wrinkled fingers are for a better grip for wet objects. Also, wrinkled fingers are considered an evolution. At first, it was thought that the wrinkles on the fingers were caused by osmosis (Changizi, 2011). However, recent studies have shown that without nerves, no…

Introduction: Acetaminophen is a common pain reliever and fever reducer used to treat conditions such as head, muscle or tooth ache, as well as colds, fevers, and even arthritis. It is available in a tablet form to be ingested. These tablets are manufactured by a large variety of pharmaceutical manufactures including a great deal of generic brand companies. These tablets all have the same active ingredient, acetaminophen, yet each hold different inactive ingredients that can impact the overall…

Therefore, measure the indoor humidity and make sure that you always maintain an ideal humidity level, which is usually 40-45%. In case the humidity testes shows you that the humidity level is over 50%, then you should act immediately. The best way to do this is to use a dehumidifier that will reduce the humidity level inside your house. In this manner you will be able to control the appearance of the molds or to kill those…

The reservoir for the dehumidifier holds up to 70 pints of moisture a day, allowing you to spend less time dumping the moisture out. If you place it by a drain, you can start it up, and let it work it’s magic without dumping the reservoir. The humidity control allows you to set the amount of moisture in any given room, allowing for a lot or none at all. The controls are electronic, making it easier to set the dial to your preference.…

Method: Purpose: To investigate how Porcellio Scaber reacts in terms of orthokinesis to different humidities in their habitat. Equipment-  75 slaters which range from 5-10mm in length (kept in a plastic container with holes in the lid, with dirt and bark so that they are kept in a natural environment as possible so can react naturally during experiment.)  5x petri dish set ups labelled from 50-90% (One petri dish on the bottom will contain glycerol and have a mesh/gauze hot glued over top…

Mylah Ferland Animal Physiology Dr. Philip The Effect of Relative Humidity on Water Loss in Armadillidium vulgare Introduction We suspected that relative humidity had an effect on water loss in live Armadillidium vulgare, to test this we did an experiment with them in desiccators set with different relative humidity’s. Armadillidium vulgare (isopod) or pill bug need a habitat with a damp surface so that they do not dry out and die. To keep them from dying when we are not using them in…

have to control the humidity if you want a comfortable household interior. There are lots of places, in which the climates in at least three seasons of the year have a lot of humidity in the air. The cold months of winter normally have inadequate humidity to allow easy breathing and restful sleep, so people counter this by placing tabletop humidifers in the bedrooms, especially those of children. In other areas, the climate seldom provides consistently comfortable levels of humidity. A full…
