    insulation materials are specifically designed to reduce the heat flow by limiting heat conduction‚ convection‚ radiation or all three while performing one or more of the following functions: The main function of insulation is to reduce the heat transfer‚ the insulation material must have the appropriate characteristic to slow down the transport of heat occurred by conduction‚ convection and radiation. Conduction loss in insulation is negligible. There are three general material types into which thermal

     Introduction: The regulation of body temperature is called thermo-regulation. It is the ability of any organism to maintain the temperature of its body at normal level even when the temperature of the external environment is fluctuating. The normal temperature of the body of humans is approximately 37◦C or between the 98◦F-100◦F and it is called its core body temperature. This core temperature usually remains the same within a very short range of variations. This core temperature only

    can be seen through the tympanic membrane. The audiogram of a person with otosclerosis will show a low frequency air-bone gap consistent with conductive hearing loss. The bone conduction thresholds will be altered and they may appear to be 5dB poorer than the air conduction thresholds. Carhart’s notch‚ a dip in bone conduction threshold at 2000 Hz is frequently found with otosclerosis. Immittance tests will show a type As tympanogram due to reduced compliance and normal ear canal volume. No acoustic

    Pivot joints (known also as rotary joints). These joints allow for rotation around an axis. There is a pivot joint near the top of your spine that allows your head to move from side to side. Hinge joints. This type of joint can open and close like a door. Your elbow is a hinge joint. Your biceps and triceps muscles are basically two people standing on opposite sides of a wall (the humerus‚ or upper-arm bone)‚ each with one hand reaching over to its respective side of a door (the bones of the lower
