SUMMARY PAGE CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION As part of a balanced diet‚ most individuals incorporate wheat products into their diets; bread‚ cakes‚ pizzas or biscuits are just the few gluten containing products that people without coleiac disease‚ take for granted. Although deemed as normal for most‚ these simple foods are not as nutritious or beneficial to people who have Coeliac disease. Coeliac disease pronounced (see-liac) is intolerance to wheat products‚ whereby gluten fights against

Bernoulli’s theorem i Bernoulli’s theorem‚ in fluid dynamics‚ relation among the pressure‚ velocity‚ and elevation in a moving fluid (liquid or gas)‚ the compressibility and viscosity (internal friction) of which are negligible and the flow of which is steady‚ or laminar. First derived (1738) by the Swiss mathematicianDaniel Bernoulli‚ the theorem states‚ in effect‚ that the total mechanical energy of the flowing fluid‚ comprising the energy associated with fluid pressure‚ the gravitational potential

Page 88-90 stated that plastics are polymers and are chemically unreactive because they are held together by stable single bonds‚ which also results in their chemical stability. The stability of plastics makes them resilient to breakage making them good replacements for fragile items such as glass. Some plastics are weakened and dissolved by organic non-solvents so not all plastics can be used for the same purposes. Plastics are moulded to different shapes with some being flexible like plastic bags

of Mount Nyirangongo 300 people were killed by lava travelling at more than 30 Kph in 1986. Although lava usually travels at relatively slow speed‚ basaltic lava which has low silica content therefore reducing the lava’s weight and increasing its viscosity hence allowing it to travel at high speeds. And it was basaltic lava that killed those 300 people in Nyirangongo. The secondary effect of volcanoes are lahars‚ landslide and tsunamis. Lahars occur when lava and mud mix travelling down the sides

EMULSION An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible ( non mixable). Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids. Although the terms colloid and emulsion are sometimes used interchangeably‚ emulsion should be used when both the dispersed and the continuous phase are liquids. In an emulsion‚ one liquid (the dispersed phase) is dispersed in the other (the continuous phase). Examples of emulsions include milk‚ mayonnaise

1. What clinical findings are likely in R.S. as a consequence of his COPD? How would these differ from those of emphysematous COPD? Chronic bronchitis‚ also known as type B COPD or “blue bloater” in most cases (90%) is caused by cigarette smoking with the typical patient being overweight. It is symptomatically diagnosed with a conformation of chest radiography showing increased bronchial vascular markings‚ congested lung fields‚ enlarged horizontal cardiac silhouette and evidence of previous pulmonary

The aquatic environment is used to provide weight relief to the body‚ antigravity positioning‚ and increased resistance as therapeutic tools. Aquatic PT also provides multiple sensory stimuli through buoyancy‚ relative density‚ water temperature‚ viscosity‚ resistance‚ and vestibular input. With joint loading forces greatly reduced in the water‚ aquatic therapy provides the opportunity for low impact exercise and allows for ease of active movement‚ reduction of hypertonicity‚ and improved circulation

the analysis of open flow channels. In many cases the major features can be expressed in terms of only a few variables‚ whose behavior can be described adequately by a simple theory. The principal forces at work are those of inertia‚ gravity and viscosity‚ each of which plays an important role. The flow rate was constant throughout the experiment at 4.98 l/s‚ and values for Ec and yc where calculated at 0. 04560 and 0.03040 respectively. Table of contents: Abstract-------------------

The Tensile Behaviour of Common Engineering Polymers Abstract The mechanical properties of polymers vary significantly from polymer to polymer as a result of atomic structures and bond strength. The tensile properties of representative samples from the common polymer were tested and evaluated in this experiment. This laboratory experiment is also designed to demonstrate the procedure used for obtaining mechanical properties as modulus of elasticity‚ yield strength‚ ultimate tensile strength
