OSTEOPOROSIS Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break.Bone mineral density (BMD) reflects the balance between bone resorption and formation.Peak BMD is reached from age 20-35 for men and women.Osteoporosis occurs when resorption exceeds formation ‚which resultant bone loss.It is diagnosed based on T-score‚with the gold standard measurement being dual energy x-ray absorpimometry (DXA)of the hip and spine BMD.A T-score is the number of standard deviations

1. A Little About Buoyancy o In order to understand how a boat can float in water we must first go over one of the principles behind such a feat: buoyancy. This principle in physics was discovered by the mathematician Archimedes about 2‚000 years ago‚ so it has been taught and understood for some time now. The basics of buoyancy involve the relationship between the weight of the object in question‚ in this case a boat‚ and the weight of the water it displaces. If the object weighs more than the

shall also discuss the effects these diseases would have on the everyday life of a small boned white female who is 84-years-old. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that can get worse with time. Your bones become fragile due to losing bone mineral density and bone mass. People do not realize this disease is occurring because they cannot feel their bones becoming weaker ("What is osteoporosis‚" 2011). Osteoporosis is most likely caused by three imbalances in the human body. Cause number one is a low

In the pasted years population has been growing rapidly in MEDC’s and LEDC’s‚ by looking at the crude birth rate and crude death rate we are able to see how the population grows in certain countries. Looking at how high the rates are in a LEDC country and a MEDC country‚ you are able to conclude that you can relate specific factors to different areas of the world. When looking at the population growth of a LEDC there are common factors that appear when looking at the death and birth rates. For

Carbohydrates‚ if highly eliminated from the diet‚ are most frequently replaced with protein. The increase in protein very much effects bone health and calcium absorption and excretion. There are conflicting studies as to which way this is influenced. Type II Diabetes – Many treatments for type II diabetes suggest a high carbohydrate

Newtons. English (now American) system Feet‚ pounds (mass)‚ seconds‚ pounds (force) cgs system Density The density of a substance is defined as its mass divided by a unit volume ρ=M/V where ρ=density M=mass V=volume In the SI system the base unit for density is kg/m^3‚ whereas in the American engineering system density is commonly expressed as (lb_M)/(ft^3 ) (lb_M=pounds(mass)). Density of water SI system: 1 x 103kg/m3 = 1 g/cm3 American engineering system: 62.4 lbM/ft3.

exact approximation of quantity as in cars by fuel meters what we get an idea of whether tank is full‚ empty‚ half full etc. The liquid level detector and optimizer play an important role in tanks to indicate the level of liquid of a particular density. In this paper we have proposed a technique to measure the amount of liquid available in tank. This device digitally displays the level of liquid inside the tanks using load sensor. The measurements are taken so the accuracy level is of 96.36%-98%
