Potential energy

Basal Metabolism Basal metabolism is the minimum amount of energy expenditure required per unit of time that is necessary to conduct involuntary bodily functions such as respiration, blood circulation, muscle tone, maintain body temperature, and ultimately maintain life. The human body requires energy to sustain proper body fluids and nutrients that preserve life and health. An individual’s basal metabolism can be determined by finding their basal metabolic rate. According to Respiratory Care…

postsynaptic nerve terminal (the dorsal horn neuron)[1]. Specifically activation of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA)-type and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptors lead to depolarization and the generation of action potentials which transmits the pain impulses through ascending pathways (e.g. spinothalamic tract ) to the brain. Neuropeptides like substance P are also released into the synapse and have been shown to prolong the depolarization wave elicited by…

Fluid mechanics has two branches fluid statics and fluid dynamics. In Fluid Mechanics we actually observe fluid motion and…

term in the equation (3) represents coulomb potential whereas last term is exchange-correlation potential. The exchange and correlation effects were taken in to account by using PBE-sol exchange correlation technique for treatment of electronic interactions in ZnGa2S4 and CdGa2S4 crystal compounds. The aim behind adoption of PBE-sol exchange correlation technique is that it recoups the prime gradient expansion for exchange and jallium surface potential are exactly replicate by regulate its…

1: If 25.0 g of Al cool from 310oC to 37oC, how many joules of heat energy are lost by the Al? Heat Transfer q = m x Cs x ∆T q = C x ∆T • • • • • q = heat absorbed or released (J) Cs = specific heat (J g-1 K-1) C = heat capacity (J K-1) m = mass of substance (g) ∆T = change in temperature (K) = Tfinal -…

Choosing to build a steel kit home provides you with a wonderful investment. When you build with steel framed systems, you have better energy efficiency, superior strength, a non-combustible material and less maintenance required. That alone makes steel kit homes a preferred method in turning an old shed house into the ideal home. The great thing about doing this is that it does not cost as much as you might believe. For example, in many cases you can get a pre-built shell that costs less than…

Makayla is talking to Mia about the whether we ever landed on the Moon. Mia says,” I have a theory about that.” Using 3 – 4 complete sentences, what is wrong with Mia’s use of the term “theory” in this instance? Mia is wrong to use the word theory because the word implies that you have some scientific evidence to back up whatever your theory states. She is implying that she went through an experiment and gathered information about her theory. She should gather evidence to use the word…

important to examine the ways that this disorder can be controlled. Low potassium diets, regular turnout, and a constant schedule have been shown to effectively manage the condition of Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis. The role of potassium in action potentials, as well as in muscular contraction, is reviewed. Also investigated is the ideal way to feed a horse affected with this condition. In recent years, a new condition in the performance horse industry has surfaced which is affecting the…

These neurons transduce, or convert, the light energy from the photon into electrical impulses that neurons are able to utilize. The impulse travels through the stimulus-receiving apparatuses(dendrites for non-specialized neurons) and into the cell body in which the signal is summarized. Neural summation…

fatigue: At the high stimulus frequency of 2 Hz the contraction force decreased 3.25% per second. Our results were in agreement with the current knowledge of muscle fatigue. Fatigue was partly due to the loss of energy resources. As skeletal muscle was stimulated at high frequencies, the energy resources became depleted. Our results mean that continuously stimulated skeletal muscles in functioning organisms, eventually lead to fatigue limiting muscle…
