airframe structure. On light aircraft the longitudinally level position is generally obtained by placing the spirit level on two pegs or on the heads of two partially withdrawn screws on the side of the fuselage and adjusting the jacks (or the shock absorber extension or tyre pressures‚ if the aircraft is resting on its wheels) until the spirit level is centred. The laterally level position is obtained by placing the spirit level on the centre-section spar boom (or other nominated position) and again

started due to the fact that Kobe is situated among 3 of the Earth’s tectonic plates (The Eurasian‚ the Pacific and the Philippine plates).Stress had been strengthening in the rocks of the Philippine and pacific plates‚ once this stress was released‚ shock waves travelled through the Earth’s crust. This resulted in mass destruction in the form of ‘The Kobe Earthquake’ (Which reached 7.2 on the Richter scale!) And was the worst recorded disaster for Japan since World War 2.

which is why immediate response is necessary to clean up the fracture area 2. Further‚ x-ray also showed a torn meniscal cartilage in the knee above the fracture. When the bones collide against each other‚ they tend to create shocks; meniscal cartilage is a type of shock absorber in the knee joint which helps in stabilizing the knee joint 4. It also functions in distributing the body weight over the knee joint 5. Fig 2: Diagram of the Knee10 Nadine had to stay in the hospital for 14 more days

it is thought that other fish can see no part of it other than its lights. The viperfish uses swimming for locomotion. It has been known to impale its victims on its teeth by swimming toward them‚ while using its first vertebra as a shock absorber. The viperfish ’s diet consists of shrimp‚ squid‚ and little fishes. The viperfish is found at depths of 500-2500 meters during the day in the part of the ocean sometimes called the "twilight zone‚" because very little light penetrates

A herniated desk‚ spondylosis or narrowing of the cervical disk calls for surgery if initial treatments‚ such as physical therapy and corticosteroid injections‚ do not relieve pain. Discs ask like shock absorbers for the spine’s vertebrae and when deteriorating or ruptured‚ the pressure causes ongoing discomfort and dysfunction. Although sometimes related to injury or disease‚ normal aging can also lead to cervical spine disorders. Removing the damaged

is also important for the transport of materials like hormones and enzymes within the blood plasma. Water helps to stabilize body temperature because it absorbs and releases high levels of heat before its temperature changes. Water serves as a shock absorber and finally it is a base for all body lubricants in system‚ The ammonia molecule (NHȝ) comes from the decomposition of proteins
