Miami Heat

with how to keep ourselves and our pets cool. The blistering heat and fierce humidity in the Midwest are prevalent weather trends and make it difficult to reside outside. Our community warns us to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and a hat and stay out of the sun when the heat is at its peak. When it comes to our pets, we are told to put out extra bowls of water for Fluffy and Fido and provide them with shelter and shade. In the heat of the Summer, sometimes things can go terribly wrong.…

Have you recently purchased a home? Are you making sure that it's ready for the winter season? While you're busy checking to make sure that the furnace is in good working order and that the weatherstripping around the doors and windows is intact, here are some reasons to also hire a duct cleaning service: Prevent mold allergies: When cool and potentially humid air returns from your air conditioning unit and enters your ducts, the moisture can encourage the growth of mold spores. Left…

dehydration can be reflected in reduced skin turgor that is displayed by tenting of the skin as a flag for dehydration (Popkin, D’Anci & Rosenberg, 2010). The body’s core temperature is usually between 36-37 0C. The core temperature is balanced by heat gains and losses, the body uses sweat and evaporation of sweat to cool the body (Ridley & Channing, 1999). Loss of water through sweat is carried out by eccrine sweat glands which are evenly distributed over most of the body surface (Popkin,…

will be illustrated as following. Reducing cooling energy consumption will be emphasized in designing the new house. The original orientation (315 degrees with living room faces south-west) resulted in excessive heat gain during summer, especially in the afternoon, and insufficient heat gain during winter. Thus, changing the orientation to 135 degrees enables most openings of the house to face northern and eastern side, which contributes to improving energy performance of the house. The…

Introduction Heat exhaustion is a condition caused by exposure to extreme heat. Heat exhaustion means that your body is too hot. Your body cools itself by sweating. When your body cannot cool down, you could develop heat exhaustion. Untreated heat exhaustion could lead to heat stroke. Heat stroke can be deadly. Elderly adults have a greater risk for heat exhaustion than younger adults. Other adults who may be at higher risk are those who are overweight, have high blood pressure, or have heart…

You asked the following question: “I have an existing building with a wet system. The owner is installing a walk-in cooler that will be maintained between 33°F and 39°F with a thermostat. The top of the cooler is approximately 10 feet below the ceiling so I will need to drop sprinklers into the cooler. Are the sprinklers I am dropping into the cooler required to be dry pendent sprinklers or are standard pendent sprinklers acceptable because it is being maintained above 32°F?” In response to…

the heat capacity of benzoic acid must be calculated. This requires the benzoic acid to be burned in the Bomb Calorimetry. Afterwards, Tollhouse chocolate chips will then be utilized by the bomb calorimetry to calculate the energy content of a serving of chocolate chips. The heat of the system and the change in the internal energy for the system will be discovered. The value will then be compared to the nutritional value on the package of the Tollhouse chocolate chips.…

A Guide to Finding the Best Infrared Heating Pads Infrared technology provides heat that doesn’t burn your skin like traditional electric heating pads. Infrared heating mats provide deeper and long-lasting pain relief over conventional heating pads. The Benefits of Infrared Heating Pads • Blood circulation enhancement • Pain reduction • Joint inflammation and stiffness relief • Skin cell revitalization These are only a few benefits of this heating technology that works much like the sun, which…

laboratory and practice calculating mass percent composition. Before beginning taking measurements, read through the instructions below and make a neat table in which to record all the numerical data. Using tongs put a clean crucible on the hotplate. Heat the crucible for approximately 5 minutes. Turn off the hotplate. Carefully remove the crucible to a piece of wire gauze and allow the crucible to cool for one minute. Transfer the crucible to a desiccator and allow to cool for approximately 5…

While it definitely slowed, the contractions were sporadic at best. The heart lost its regularity and showed random contraction intervals, some ranging shorter than normal while others had greater time gaps between contractions. Procedure 5: Effects of a Ligature on the Heart After the knot had been tied around the AV groove, no noticeable alterations were noticed to heart contraction. Upon tightening of the thread however, the heart appeared in clear distress. Beat irregularities ensued…
