Point of view

Trigger Point Injection Trigger points are areas where you have muscle pain. A trigger point injection is a shot given in the trigger point to relieve that pain. A trigger point might feel like a knot in your muscle. It hurts to press on a trigger point. Sometimes the pain spreads out (radiates) to other parts of the body. For example, pressing on a trigger point in your shoulder might cause pain in your arm or neck. You might have one trigger point, or you might have more than one. People…

1. Prepare 2 30-foot-tall rooms. In one of the rooms there will be red LED lights hung on the ceiling, and in the other room there will be no lights. Use the thermostats to keep the temperatures for both rooms at room temperature: 20-25 degrees Celsius. Make sure all windows are closed to prevent sunlight from entering the rooms. 2. Place one set of the 40 pedestals (one set = 20 pedestals) of different heights in each room (20 per room).The first pedestal should be one foot tall, and each…

The purpose of this essay is to explain how the Law of Conservation of Energy is illustrated by the roller coaster in Atlanta, Georgia the Six Flags Amusement Park, the Goliath. The Goliath is a hyper coaster which includes the building materials, steel, wood, and fiberglass. It opened on April 1st, 2006. The Goliath’s top speed is 70 MPH, the height of the first is 200 feet with a drop of 170 feet following it. The duration of the ride is 3 minutes 30 seconds. The coaster can harbor 26 riders…

The melting point is the temperature at which a solid precipitate changes into its liquid form upon heating. It also helps when determine which isomers predominate. The experimental melting point of the E-stilbene was 242 degrees Celsius. The actual melting point of the E-stilbene was 241 degrees Celsius. This verifies that the predominating isomer is meso indicating that the cyclic intermediate remained. Therefore, almost no error occurred within the reaction since the two melting points are…

1. Chapter One: The Three Rules of Epidemics “The three rules of the Tipping Point—the Law of the Few, the Stickiness Factor, and the Power of Context—offer a way of making sense of epidemics.” (Gladwell 29) In The Tipping Point, Gladwell describes the Law of the Few as the fact that people with “a particular and rare set of social gifts” (Gladwell 33) are influential in social epidemics. Their special personality traits help ideas, trends, and social behaviors to “tip”, or become popular. The…

During this lab, I compared the properties of both regular and light margarine, before and after melting. First, we took both of the margarine samples and put them in a hot water bath to melt them. This separated out the components within them- making it easy to measure their percentage value. I found the regular margarine to be made up of 14.5% solids, 64.2% oils, and 21.3% water. Next, I used the same method as before, and found the percentage of each component of the light margarine to…

I had always feared roller coasters as a young kid. I was scared of the astounding heights that some of them reach and their rapid acceleration. I was intimidated from the horrifying screams of terror from other kids on roller coasters, their high-pitched squeals of absolute terror and adrenaline rushing through their small bodies. For me that was very scary and made me not want to get near one of those monstrous horrifying contraptions. This all changed one day when my parents forced me to go…

successfully fractioned, gas chromatography was used to help determine the identity of the two unknown liquids. Fractional distillation and simple distillation both take advantage of two major physical properties to separate liquids. Specifically, boiling point differences and the identity of the vapor phase of mixtures. However, one must utilize the correct distillation based on the conditions presented. If a mixture of volatile…

Behavior can be defined as an individual’s response to an action. The provoked feeling that propels someone to move or strike is the behavior. Behavior is influenced by many different factors. Some examples of these factors could be one’s genetic makeup, environment or individual thoughts and feelings. What makes one person’s behavior uniquely different from another? The world is very diverse in means of different habits, cultures and sex. This diversity is what sets each individual behavior…
