Title: Center Of Pressure Date: 2nd October‚ 2006 Objectives: To calculate the center of pressure of an immersed rectangular surface and compare it to the value calculated theoretical. Apparatus: The apparatus is shown diagrammatically in the figure Note that the curved selection of the shape of this apparatus is to exclude the effect of moments that forces acting on this surface cause about the pivot as all these forces will pass through the pivot. Theory: The center of pressure of an immersed

The skill I was observed on was for undertaking a blood pressure measurement. In undertaking this assignment‚ I have maintained confidentiality and I asked the patient for her consent to carry out procedure for measuring blood pressure according to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2008). I was directly supervised and observed by my mentor for all the activities undertaken. I will discuss how I took blood pressure of a patient and further explain rationale behind doing specific way. I will

Study Of Cocoons. A pupa is the life stage of some insects undergoing transformation. The pupal stage is found only in holometabolous insects‚ those that undergo a complete metamorphosis‚ going through four life stages; embryo‚ larva‚ pupa and imago. Pupa of the rose chafer beetle Characteristics:- In the life of an insect the pupal stage follows the larval stage and precedes adulthood (imago). It is during the time of pupation that the adult structures of the insect are formed while the larval

Blood Pressure – Making a formal inference We often talk about a person’s “blood pressure” as though it is an inherent characteristic of that person. In fact‚ a person’s blood pressure is different each time you measure it. Blood pressure reacts to stress‚ diet and genetics.

Natural selection forms the foundation of how we understand the ways that species have formed over time. Another form of selection is sexual selection‚ which is the selection of traits based on their roles in courting and mating. It involves attracting a mate with the greatest fitness while simultaneously portraying oneself as the best mate for selection. Fitness‚ described in natural selection‚ is the ability to reproduce and leave successful offspring that will continue the cycle. Sexual selection
