engine is in the injection process. Most car engines use port injection or a carburetor. A port injection system injects fuel just prior to the intake stroke (outside the cylinder). A carburetor mixes air and fuel long before the air enters the cylinder. In a car engine‚ therefore‚ all of the fuel is loaded into the cylinder during the intake stroke and then compressed. The compression of the fuel/air mixture limits the compression ratio of the engine -- if it compresses the air too much‚ the fuel/air

Aphasia is a language disorder that results from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language. For most people‚ these are parts of the left side (hemisphere) of the brain. Aphasia usually occurs suddenly‚ often as the result of a stroke or head injury‚ but it may also develop slowly‚ as in the case of a brain tumor. The disorder impairs the expression and understanding of language as well as reading and writing. "Aphasia may co-occur with speech disorders such as dysarthria or apraxia

Marian suffered from a heat stroke causing her body to experience hyperthermia. Marian body went through the process of homeostasis from experiencing hyperthermia. “Homeostasis is a state of body equilibrium or stable internal environment of the body.”(Marieb 8) Homeostasis protects the body by allowing it to adapt to the environment. Marian homeostasis tried to cool the body but failed. Though Marian was lucky her daughter found her in time. When a heat stroke occurs the body’s homeostasis shuts
