Hypoxia is the main physiological complication when ascending to high altitudes. The percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere stays the same‚ but the partial pressure and barometric pressure begin to drop on rising to a higher altitude. The level of altitude‚ rate of ascent‚ and duration of exposure all determine the body’s response to hypoxia. The physiological responses to high altitude hypoxia are divided into two categories. First there are acute responses known as accommodation‚ which refers to

Although PCG can be used in other domains‚ games are one of the best examples of rich and diverse content creation applications and provide unique user experiences. Based on that‚ EDPCG [30] is defined as a generic and effective approach in order to optimize user experience via the adaptation of the experienced content. However‚ even if based on game technology and affective computing

Dorothy Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory and Sister Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model are considered as grand nursing theories. The grand nursing theories are a conceptual model‚ which identifies the focal point of nursing inquiry and guide the development of mid-range theories that will become useful to nurses and also to

mammals‚ lizards and some insects. The woodlouse habitat reflects its need to avoid warm and dry areas. The woodlouse is prone to desiccation (drying out) due to its body’s large surface area to volume ratio. This results in a variety of behavioural adaptations that help it conserve moisture and avoid desiccation. The woodlouse exhibits negative phototaxes behaviour‚ this results in them moving away from brighter areas in order to find a darker one. This is because darker areas are usually damper and

Homo sapiens (Latin: "wise man") is the scientific name for the human species. Homo is the human genus‚ which also includes Neanderthals and many other extinct species of hominid; H. sapiens is the only surviving species of the genus Homo. Modern humans are the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens‚ differentiated from their direct ancestor‚ Homo sapiens idaltu. Subspecies of H. sapiens include Homo sapiens idaltu and the only extant subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens. Some sources show Homo sapiens neanderthalensis
