Measuring haemodynamic variables using different techniques and examining the effects of diving reflex‚ isometric muscle contraction and psychological stress on these variables. Introduction Haemodynamics is the study of factors that determine the movement of blood (Widmaier et al‚ 2011). The main haemodynamic factors are heart rate and blood pressure. Heart rate is defined as the number of times the heart contracts per minute. Normal resting heart rate in adults ranges between 60 – 100 beats

Types of Variables Binary variable Obsevations (i.e.‚ dependent variables) that occur in one of two possible states‚ often labelled zero and one. E.g.‚ “improved/not improved” and “completed task/failed to complete task.” Categorical Variable Usually an independent or predictor variable that contains values indicating membership in one of several possible categories. E.g.‚ gender (male or female)‚ marital status (married‚ single‚ divorced‚ widowed). The categories are often assigned numerical

Cooling Drinks 1) What is the specific latent heat of fusion of water? Specific latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance when changing states. This could be boiling or melting. Latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed to melt a substance‚ while latent heat of vaporisation is the amount of energy needed to boil a substance. The specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334 j/g In the graph‚ you can see that as the temperature increases more

Global Variables This writing assignment will focus on global variables. A global variable is a variable every module in a program can see‚ meaning that the entire program is its scope (Gaddis‚ 2010). There are both advantages and disadvantages to using global variables and it is my intention to explore some of them here‚ starting with the disadvantages. There seems to be a lot to be said about the disadvantages of using global variables. First and foremost the scope itself can be a disadvantage

Wortmann Iowa Learning Online 2001 Iowa Teacher of the Year Teacher Notes: Sports Drinks and Homeostasis Personal notes from the author: If you want students to have a rich discussion about a topic‚ the topic has to be “on their agenda.” Students need to have something from their past experience to contribute to make the discussion truly engaging. Most students have tried sports drinks at some time in their life‚ and therefore‚ have experiences

Two Variable Inequality Katherine Courtney MAT221 Phil Le August 25‚ 2013 Inequalities are equations that can be used to determine not just what something could equal but what something cannot equal. It tells us what the relative size is of two values and if they are big or small‚ too much or not enough. Inequalities could make it easier to determine how much someone might need of something in order to make a certain amount of something‚ while also determining

extraneous variables by using random assignment to experimental conditions and sometimes also by incorporating direct control and/or blocking into the design of the experiment. Each of these strategies—random assignment‚ direct control‚ and blocking—is described as follows; A researcher can directly control some extraneous variables. In the calculus test example‚ the textbook used is an extraneous variable because part of the differences in test results might be attributed to this variable. We could
