the effects of studying in a foreign country Studying abroad is a good experience for college students. You can learn something different from what you can learn at your college in your country. Universities abroad offer many courses which your university at home does not. Even if they offer similar courses‚ the content‚ concepts‚ and views covered and the assumptions and values they are based on may be different. Even if they are the same‚ studying them in a foreign language is different and worthwhile

Stroke Definition: A stroke is the sudden death of the cells in a specific area of the brain caused by inadequate blood flow. Another name for it is cerebral vascular accident (CVA). A stroke is also called a brain attack. Description: A stroke occurs when an artery bursts or becomes closed when a blood clot lodges in it and blood flow is interrupted to that part of the brain. Blood circulating to that area of the brain served by the artery stops at the point of rupture‚ and the brain tissue

Stroke What is stroke? A stroke is a serious medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. Strokes are a medical emergency and prompt treatment is essential because the sooner a person receives treatment for a stroke‚ the less damage is likely to happen. Ischemic strokes Ischaemic strokes‚ the most common type of stroke‚ occur when blood clots block the flow of blood to the brain. Blood clots typically form in areas where the arteries have been narrowed

Through common practise of Centrifugal pump operating characteristics is it possible to determine the optimum conditions of particular conditions. The results of typical characteristics are expressed on this work in terms of pump discharge pressure‚ pump efficiency‚ and power demand at various pump speeds of verses pump discharge.

STUDYING EFFECTIVELY AND CONQUERING EXAMS 1. INTRODUCTION This is some practical advice from my own experiences as a student and from many years of teaching this discipline (Management Accounting). “Studying effectively” is about building a sound foundation of professional knowledge that is more than just knowing enough to pass the next test or examination. 2. HOW GOOD ARE YOUR STUDY SKILLS? The old adage is “If it ain’t broken don’t fix it”. Make an honest assessment of your study skills

Heat pump From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search For theoretical background‚ see Heat pump and refrigeration cycle. Outdoor components of a residential air-source heat pump A heat pump is a machine or device that transfers thermal energy from one location‚ called the "source‚" which is at a lower temperature‚ to another location called the "sink" or "heat sink"‚ which is at a higher temperature. Thus‚ heat pumps moves thermal energy opposite to the direction that

consider a multiple pump system to meet the design requirements. Two typical options include parallel and series configurations of pumps. Specific performance criteria must be met when considering these options. Given a piping system which has a known design flow rate and head requirements‚ Qdes‚ hdes‚ the following pump selection criteria apply. Pumps in Parallel: Assuming that the pumps are identical‚ each pump must provide the following: Q(pump) = 0.5 Qdes h(pump) = hdes Pumps in Series: Assuming
