Unit 2 – Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalance A. Homeostasis a. State of equilibrium in the body b. Naturally maintained by adaptive responses c. Body fluids and electrolytes are maintained within narrow limits B. Water content of the body i. Varies with age‚ gender‚ body mass 1. Men have more muscle mass → increased water‚ fat cells have less water content b. 50-60% of the weight in an adult c. 45-55% in older adults d. 70-80% in infants C. Body Fluid Components a. ICF b.

Theories of Group Formation Below is an explanation of the different models of group formation processes by Lewin‚ Tuckman‚ McGrath‚ and Gersick including the major features‚ steps‚ and characteristics. Tuckman (1965)‚ stated these roles/processes are needed for group formation: Forming: Group members learn about each other‚ and the task at hand. Indicators of this stage might include: unclear objectives‚ confusion‚ and low morale. Storming: As group members continue to work‚ they will

Investigation 4- Formation of Deserts 1. There are high-pressure and low-pressure belts on Earth because of the differences in area that include the location‚ the mountain ranges‚ and the coastal areas. It also has to do with the uneven warming of the sun because of the rotation of the earth on its axis. It also has to do with the air that is found around the equator‚ as it is uneven. This causes for heat to raise which in turn causes low pressure. Then‚ the air that moves out of these “lows‚” toward

Formation of the Philippine Islands The Indo-Australian plate is found south of the Eurasian and the Philippine Seaplates. It is generally oceanic‚ being submerged by Indian and Pacific Oceans‚ but it holds two gigantic land masses – the island continent of Australia and Indian subcontinent. Recent researches‚ however‚ show that these two land masses are moving independently of each other‚ thus‚ may actually be parts of separate plates. The Philippine Sea plate is found east of the Eurasian

Fluid Mechanics Laboratory 2 Report Robby Joseph 14103508 1.0 Introduction This experiment was undertaken for the study of flow in pipes and the factors that affect it in both laminar and turbulent regimes. The transitional regime between laminar and turbulent flow will also be studied. The experiment was done using a pipe with a known diameter‚ and water was pumped in from a tank. Throughout the process‚ measurements of the quantity of water and time were taken as well as the hydraulic gradient

Q.2 (from Street‚ Watters‚ and Vennard) The weight density γ = ρg of water in the ocean may be calculated from the empirical relation γ = γo + K(h1/2)‚ in which h is the depth below the ocean surface‚ K a constant‚ and

1.Earthquakes 1. According to dictionary.reference.com an earthquake is a: Series of vibrations induced in the earth’s crust by the abrupt rupture and rebound of rocks in which elastic strain has been slowly accumulating. The earth is made up of tectonic plates these are massive slabs of rock floating on magma ‚as the plates move about‚ they spread apart‚ collide‚ or slide past each other‚ This is the main cause of volcanoes and earthquakes Earthquakes occur in many regions all over the world

One topic that interested me in this chapter was James Marcia’s identity formations. He spilt the formations into four different modes‚ and adolescents are sorted into the groups by answering two questions. These questions are: Has the person gone through an identity crisis yet? and Was there a commitment made? An identity crisis is a span of time in adolescents where confusion on the future and insecurity about oneself are established and then addressed through commitments. A "no" in both questions

Class: DME2 Title: Flow Measurement Date: 11/02/2013 Lecturer: Mr Higgins Summary: In this experiment many different meters were used to measure fluid flow rate; the orifice plate‚ the venture meter‚ the rota meter and the weigh tank. Each meter works by its ability to alter a certain physical property of the flowing fluid and then allows this alteration to be measured. The measured alterations are linked directly to the flow rate and these measurements are subbed in to adjusted equations
