any similarities between hurricane and earthquakes in the way they are caused but they both cause destruction and death resulting from diseases and destruction of buildings. Let’s examine what causes these calamities and how to remain safe when they occur. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters near the equator. They are formed when moist air over the ocean rises upward causing an area of lower air pressure below. Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes in to fill the gap. This

A positive feedback loop occurs when the production of a reaction leads to an increase in that reaction. If a system is in homeostasis‚ a positive feedback loop moves a system further away from the target of equilibrium. It does this by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. An example of this type of feedback loop in the endocrine system is occurs during childbirth. When labor begins. The baby’s head is pushed downwards‚ resulting in an increased

There are two types of atrophy: physiological and pathological. Physiological atrophy occurs during early development while pathological atrophy can be caused by a number of factors including aging‚ disuse‚ and malnutrition. As a person ages‚ his or her brain and endocrine-dependent organs undergo atrophy and begin to shrink. People who are

scatter can occur in different directions. The photoelectric interaction is very important in the x-ray field‚ it’s mainly responsible for the image contrast. This interaction occurs when the energy photons binding energy is equal to or slightly greater interacts with the inner-shell electron. The primary energy electron becomes completely absorbed by the atom resulting in the x-ray to no longer exist. The atom ends up storing that energy‚ causing it

This process is separated in three parts which all occur in different sections of the mitochondria and cytosol. The first step is called glycolysis which occurs in the cytosol‚ followed by the Krebs Cycle which occurs in the mitochondrial matrix‚ and lastly oxidative

communications. 2.1. Risk An uncertain event or condition that‚ if it occurs‚ has a positive or negative effect on a project’s objectives. Risk is often a measure of the inability to achieve overall project objectives within defined project requirements and constraints and has three components: (1) the probability of occurrence‚ (2) the impact of the risk on the program‚ and (3) the time horizon during which the consequences will occur if the risk is not mitigated.

part in cyber bullying. Overall‚ today cyber bullying is becoming more damaging than traditional bullying due to a greater number of ways a person can be cyber bullied; cyber bullying forms an ideal environment for bullies given it can occur anonymously and can occur anywhere. Also‚ cyber bullying is more damaging than traditional bullying because more people are able to witness cyber bullying due to the public nature of the internet‚ and due to the fact that cyber bullying is not monitored as closely

Without the proper amount of clotting factor‚ bleeding occurs easily. Hemophilia is an inherited disorder in about two thirds of the cases. About one third of the cases of hemophilia occur due to spontaneous changes in the gene or mutations. The presence of a mutated gene may not be noted until a woman with

Although it is rather effective‚ it would not completely stop property and infrastructure damage‚ and deaths still would occur. Evidence has shown that the collapsing of buildings are the biggest threat to human life and the economy‚ because of this‚ scientists in MEDCs are looking to improve buildings and infrastructure‚ making them more earthquake resistant.

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that ceases cell growth in the nervous system and it can cause tumors to grow on the nervous tissue. These tumors can occur anywhere in the nervous system‚ this includes the brain‚ nerves‚ the spinal cord‚ skin‚ and many more of the body’s systems. These tumors tend to be benign or in other words they are non-cancerous. The development of these benign tumors may cause skin and or bone abnormalities. These tumors‚ also known as neurofibromas‚ form on nerves
