Experiment M4 : 2 Stroke‚ 4 Stroke Diesel Engines Abstract Introduction The aim of this experiment was to explore the engines testing methods and to find how the chemical energy in the fuel is converted into power and distributed throughout the system. Six major components of the engine were studied to understand their effect on the engine. Also‚ a multi-cylinder diesel engine is tested for its efficiency. Development of efficiency of the engine has allowed the motor companies to grow very rapidly

However‚ due to the presentation of an ‘unconscious unknown’ the diagnosis of heat stroke can be a difficult

Clinical Feature A stroke is a serious medical situation that normally befalls when a clot within the blood has clogged the flow of blood to the brain. When the brain fails to get the blood and the suitable quantity of oxygen‚ the brain cells literally die.

The NSS (2008) highlights quality markers recommending early supported discharges (ESD) for stroke patients‚ this is supported by Walker (2007) who confirms rehabilitation of stroke patients has become a national priority‚ driven by evidence based research. Economic drivers in ESD highlight financial incentives for reducing hospital stay of stroke patients which according to the DH (2007b) is based on tariff periods whereby low tariff periods result in higher turnover
