ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE Introduction Heat transfer refers to the process of thermal exchange between different systems. Generally, the heat transfer from two systems will be from the hotter region to the cooler one. Now when we were discussing heat transfer in buildings, it is essential because it’s used for designing fabric and also for developing passive and active systems necessary to deliver the required thermal conditions for minimum consumption of resources. Very broadly mechanisms of heat transfer can be described as convection, conduction, radiation and phase change. The thermal behavior of a system is a function of the dynamic relationship between the mechanisms. Describing Building Heat Mechanisms Conduction; this is the diffusion of internal heat within a body as a result of the temperature difference across it. Conduction in the building is essential where there may be temperature differences between the inside and outside of a building for instance in a heated building during winter (Chadderton, D. 2013). This mechanism is the primary potential heat transfer in which internal heating and cooling can be lost to the outside resulting into occupant’s…
Complementary Therapies Abstract Complementary therapies are the medication methods that are employed alongside the conventional treatments prescribed by a medical doctor. The administration of complementary therapy is crucial in the management of cancer and nurses should be well conversant with the requirements of administering the therapy. The study considers an analysis of evidence from several scholarly articles. The study considered several scholarly articles and compared the results from each article to ensure the comprehensiveness of the study. The evidence obtained from the literature shows that complementary therapy is useful in improving the quality of life among patients. The different studies leave a gap in that; the studies only assess the efficacy of complementary therapy on menopause alone. The different researches are faced with a lot of limitations such as inadequate consideration of modernization on menopause. Introduction and Methodology Complementary therapies are the medication methods that are employed alongside the conventional treatments prescribed by a medical doctor. The aim of complementary therapy is always to help the recipients feel better as well as improving their quality of life. Complementary therapies may…
Description of my core convictions According to Kotsko (2016), the core convictions mainly refer to the underlying beliefs that are held by an individual, group or organization. Such guiding principles tend to edict the behavior of an individual and are also known to assist in the understanding of the differences between wrong and right (Davis et al, 2017). The core convictions additionally assist one to establish whether he/she is on the apt path and meeting his/her goals through the creation of the unswerving guide. Some of the core convictions I hold include the observation that I believe in the existence of God and that for an individual to be considered complete, he has to be affiliated to a religious institution. I also hold that core conviction in being a better resource steward and exercising frugality to ascertain that future generations can get the resources and survive. Lastly, I also hold the conviction that honesty will always be the best policy for any person wishing to attain a successful life and that one has to earn trust. Sources of Core…
Source Article Review: Relationship Between Nutrition and Health The following response will examine the article The Relationship between Nutrition and Health by Keri Peterson as the material is directly related to the content of my essay. Peterson asserts that a person’s diet has a profound impact on one’s health as proper counselling in regards to nutrition, exercise, and diet is critical for preventing health complications, along with managing an individual’s health. On that regard, Peterson’s assertion is similar to my inference that nutrition and health go hand-in-hand, therefore, the source will be extremely useful to my essay. Whereas Peterson does not give deep insight into the association between nutrition and health, her experience as a primary care physician gives credibility to her ideology. She states that she takes care of individuals with a variety of issues, including complications like diabetes, arthritis, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, among other health-related issues (Peterson, 1). Due to such experiences she is able to spot health complications before they develop into a more severe problem. On that account, Peterson’s practice and experience gives…
Discourse Community Analysis English 1301: Rhetoric and Composition I The Rhetorical Situation One of the most difficult challenges you’ll face in college is learning to join various academic discourse communities. A “discourse community” is a group of people who share knowledge of a particular topic, similar backgrounds and experiences, values, and common ways of communicating. Discourse communities seem particularly mysterious and intimidating when you are an “outsider,” but the good news is that we all have experience joining discourse communities. You successfully joined a discourse community any time you learned to participate and feel comfortable in a new school, a new church, a new circle of friends, or a new interest group (e.g., people interested in a certain sport or sports team, a band or type of music, a television show, gaming, cooking, yoga, dance, etc.) The purpose of this paper—and a primary purpose of ENGL 1301—is to demonstrate for you that the process of joining an academic discourse community is not so different from the process by which you’ve joined other discourse communities. Write a paper to me and…
Change should be implemented only for good reasons. Try to remember a situation in your own life that involved unnecessary change. Why do you think that the change was unnecessary? What types of turmoil did it cause? Were there things a change agent could have done that would have increased unfreezing in this situation? In addition, many good ideas are never realized because of poor timing or a lack of power on the part of the change agent. For example, both organizations and individuals tend to reject outsiders as change agents because they are perceived as having inadequate knowledge or expertise about the current status, and their motives often are not trusted. Therefore, there is more widespread resistance if the change agent is an outsider. The outside change agent, however, tends to be more objective in his or her assessment, whereas the inside change agent is often influenced by a personal bias regarding how the organization functions. Likewise, some greatly needed changes are never implemented because the change agent lacks sensitivity to timing. If the organization or the people within…
Annotated bibliography of story books Stein, D. E. (2012). Because Amelia smiled. Candlewick Press. A sequent of kind acts is seen to materialize in the heartwarming but never sentimental narrative by Stein. Thus, “because Amelia smiled as she came down the street, Mrs. Higgins smiled back and thought of Lionel, her grandson who was in Mexico, and as a result baked cookies to send over to him.” The cookies that Mrs. Higgins send to Lionel as a gift inspire one of his learners to become an instructor in kickboxing; moreover, her video finds its way to England, and as a result is seen to inspire a number of virtuous acts in various nations and cities including Paris, Israel, Italy, as well as back to Amelia who lives in New York City. The spreads used by Stein’s are densely colored using crayon lines and pencils and are also crammed with a lot of visual information. In the narrative, Lionel is observed in his apartment within unnamed Mexican city; however, the author draws a portrait of the entire neighborhood where Lionel’s lives, alongside…
