Environmental determinism is an idea that the physical environment influences human progress towards specific routes. Hippocrates‚ Airs‚ Water‚ and Places‚ and Jared Diamond’s‚ Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel‚ each offer a view of environmental determinism and suggests a link between the physical environment and medical discourse and racial classification/inequality. Hippocrates Airs‚ Water‚ and Places was one of the first major works on environmental determinism. It concentrated on medical climatology‚ geography

- Half a cup of water Procedure: 1. For this experiment‚ the independent variable is whether the balloon is filled with water or not. The dependent variable is what happens to the balloon when it is placed above the lit candle. This is determined by observing the balloon. The constants (control variables) are how much the balloon is inflated and the amount of water in the balloon. 2. Inflate the yellow colored balloon and tie it up. 3. Pour half a cup of water into the blue colored

HEAT TRANSFER Heat transfer‚ also known as heat flow‚ heat exchange‚ or simply heat‚ is the transfer of thermal energy from one region of matter or a physical system to another. When an object is at a different temperature from its surroundings‚ heat transfer occurs so that the body and the surroundings reach the same temperature at thermal equilibrium. Such spontaneous heat transfer always occurs from a region of high temperature to another region of lower temperature‚ as required by the second

Hand Sensitivity Are people more sensitive to cold water on their dominant hand or non-dominant hand? If a person sticks their hand in cold water‚ then their dominant hand will be able to withstand cold the longest. To conduct the experiment two bowls of the same size were filled: one with room temperature water and one with cold water (adding lots of ice). After this was done‚ each participant put both hands in each bowl (one at a time). The time was recorded how long each participants had each

of the three ways in which heat is transferred. In convection‚ heat can be exchanged from one fluid to another. In this experiment‚ a heated plate is in contact with air inside a rectangular cross section duct. The air is heated by conduction from the heated plate. The density of the air decreases as it is heated and this makes the warm air rise. Colder air‚ which in turn is less dense‚ then replaces the warmer air‚ which has risen. The plate then heats this colder air‚ which will eventually rise

to food. Rats were habituated to the new environment for seven days before the test. All experiments were performed in accordance with the guide for the care and use of laboratory animals (IR.SBMU.nrc.REC.1390.20) approved by the Research and Ethics Committee of the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. All efforts were made to diminish the number of animals and their suffering during the experiment. 2.4.1. Surgery and microinjection For stereotaxic surgery‚ all the rats were anesthetized

HEAT TRANSFER MECHANISMS Heat energy is being transferred from one location to another because of a temperature difference. The three mechanisms for heat transfer are: • Conduction. When you grip the hot handle of a pan on a stove‚ you feel conduction in action. Heat flows from the pan and along the length of the handle to its cooler free end. This is because one end of the rod is held at the high temperature‚ and the other end stays at the lower temperature. Although the rod itself doesn’t

Technology of the Insulin Pump For many years‚ people who have been diagnosed with diabetes typically do not live a long life. “Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which the pancreas no longer produces enough insulin or cells stop responding to the insulin that is produced‚ so that glucose in the blood cannot be absorbed into the cells of the body”(Farflex). There have been many advances in the technology of diabetic supplies; this includes the insulin pump. “Insulin pumps are a medical device
