Ocean Literacy #5d states, “Ocean biology provides many unique examples of life…, adaptations… that do not occur on land.” Striped bass (Mornoe saxatilis) have many adaptations, such as an inferior mouth, to grab food below because they are carnivorous. They have a rounded tail for short burst of speed t get away from bigger predators, and a fusiform body for high speeds. The striped bass live all the way north of Canada, all the way down to Florida. The striped bass mostly live in Chesapeake…

Dosing a Patient for Anesthesia Anesthesia is a very dangerous drug if placed in the wrong hands. Most surgeries require intravenous anesthesia. There are multiple different types of anesthesia including intravenous, inhalation, nerve block (local) or topical. Intravenous is the number one go to for surgeries, the wrong dosage could cost you your life. The anesthesiologist has to use caution when prescribing the correct dose of anesthesia based on height, weight and laboratory values of the…

John Ortiz is a recent a graduate from a highly touted dance academy. In his last semester at the academy, one of his instructors was interested in what had driven her students to find their passion in dance. So to find out she gave an assignment for each student to write a paper on how they fell in love with dance. In John’s case, falling in love with dance seemed as likely as the Cleveland Browns ever winning the Super Bowl. Growing up John was never the most slender kid. He always had a big…

This number is placed over a 1 simply to show it in fraction form, making the conversion easier. The number is then set equal to the fraction representing the number of pounds in a kilogram (kg). The 2.22lbs. is placed on the bottom part of the fraction in order for the lbs. units to cancel out, leaving behind only kilograms. The numerator of the first fraction is multiplied by the numerator of the second fraction. This product is then divided by the product of the denominators of both the first…

defined as 1/299,792,458 of the distance light travels in a vacuum in one second. The kilogram is the unit of mass it is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram. The first practical understanding of the metric system came in 1799, during the French Revolution, when the existing system of measure, which had fallen into shame, was temporarily replaced by a decimal system based on the kilogram and the meter. The French revelation invented and led into a lot of developments…

story by mentioning other elements that changed when expose to extreme temperatures, ending the chapter with a discussion on yttrium (Y) and neodymium (Nd). In the seventeenth chapter, starts with Donald Glaser, the drunk who was interested in bubbles. Surprisingly, Glaser won a Noble Prize at the age of Thirty-three after he switched his research from bubbles in beer to bubbles in liquid nitrogen (N2). Kean also mentions Ernest Rutherford, who was interested in radioactivity. Rutherford mimic…

difference between the mean values of the BMI’s and income levels. This also means that BMI’s are directly proportional to income levels. From both table one and table two, it can be seen that the mean BMI for each income level varies by only 0.3 kilograms per meters squared, which With every experiment that is done, there is always a chance of limitations occurring. One limitation that occurred, which may have affected the results was the removal of 931 of the surveys. This could have affected…

Stasis is not the science fiction type of stasis where you are frozen in time; it is more akin to hibernation. We will slow the bodies of humans down to a state where they can still function as a person but not get deadly hypothermia. Astronauts aren’t supposed to live off of their body fat for 8 months like bears so scientists have come up for a solution to give humans that same affect by giving them liquid nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This is great because it bypasses the…

Unfortunately we can not do any of the equations when the car's weight is in pounds so we need to convert the weights into kilograms. Originally the van weighed 4965 pounds, after converting that to kilograms it came out to be 2252 kilograms(2012 Ford). Originally the car weighed 2225 pounds in kilograms that is 1463(2002 Volkswagen). The weights of the vehicles are shown in the equations by using Fg. On the math sheet there is the givens which is some of the calculations…

(0:11). This is very interesting in that it indicates that his audience is apart of the minority, suggesting that they should join in the majority that already do. Another example is when he says “You take 10 kilograms of feed, you can get one kilogram of beef, but you can get nine kilograms of locust meat” (9:21). Here he shows logically how it makes more sense to eat insects because you get more output than other meat sources. His appeals to logos are very effective and are what really…
