Working with a team‚ working for a team and working as a team are very different concepts. This distinction is the biggest lesson I learned from the simulation. A team may refer to a group of people but each member has a specific role to play. The idea of parts joining together to form a whole are analogous to the individual personalities‚ strengths and weaknesses each one brings to complete the team. In our group‚ the leader blended in with the roles of the other members. She would have been more

Decompression Sickness Decompression sickness‚ also known as the bends‚ is a term used in scuba diving to describe the sharp‚ painful feeling that occurs when one surfaces too quickly. Although it is not very common‚ it can potentially be fatal if severe enough. The symptoms for the bends are easily identified and are simple to treat if it is caught in the early stages. Decompression sickness can be prevented all together if proper safety precautions are taken. If you pay attention in certification

Elly starts to cry and partly blames Sophie for her sickness. Elly asks Sophie when it is okay to die. If there are some things in life you must have done before you die. Sophie doesn’t know how to answer her question and then finally Elly pulls up her jumper. Characterization Sophie and Elly have been

2) At high altitude The effects of high altitude on humans are considerable. The percentage saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen determines the content of oxygen in our blood. After the human body reaches around 2‚100 m (7‚000 feet) above sea level‚ the saturation of oxyhaemoglobin begins to plummet. However‚ the human body has both short-term and long-term adaptations to altitude. Athletes use these adaptations to help their performance. There is a limit to the level of adaptation; mountaineers

20°F. When the temperature is 35°F‚ what is the altitude of the cloud? 3400 At what temperature does a cloud form at 9500 feet? 62 degrees 2. Set the temperature to 70°F. What happens to the altitude of the cloud as you raise the dew point from 20°F to 65°F? goes down Why? Cool air is unable to penetrate clouds above due to subsidence inversion. 3.

Krakauer describes how Ngawang Topche‚ a Sherpa who assisted Scott Fischer’s Everest expedition‚ developed HAPE while climbing the mountain and the effect it had on him. High Altitude Pulmonary Edema is “typically brought on by climbing too high‚ too fast” where “the lungs fill with fluid” from the pulmonary arteries‚ which are exposed to high pressure because of the altitude (Krakauer 113).
