Metabolic alkalosis Discussion Prompt 1 For discussion prompt 1, I have chosen to describe the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, evaluation, and treatment of metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis. Metabolic acidosis is the too much production of acid by the body and occurs when the kidney fails to release acid from the body. The pathophysiology of metabolic acidosis is that it results in reduced bicarbonate concentration (Kraut & Madias, 2017). Both acute and chronic disorders may result from the disorder as a result of excessive production of acids and acidification of renal. Some of the clinical manifestations include loss of appetite, increased rate of heartbeat, breathing problems, and the patient may seem confused. The evaluation of metabolic acidosis is that it is a result of low levels of bicarbonate plasma and the addition of the serum anion gap. Metabolic acidosis treatment includes X-ray to check whether lungs are infected, bronchodilator medications, and avoiding smoking to reduce respiratory compensation. Metabolic alkalosis occurs when the body’s blood becomes alkaline, and its pathophysiology is that it occurs as a result of an increased concentration of…
FRP and TRM materials development of the so-called textile reinforced mortars (TRM). Both FRP and TRM materials may be given the term “continuous fiber composites” or “advanced composites” or simply “composites”. For comparison with steel, typical stress-strain diagrams for unidirectional composites under short-term monotonic loading are given in Figure below. Uniaxial tension stress-strain diagrams for different unidirectional FRPs and steel. (Stijn Matthys, 2000) CFRP ＝ carbon FRP, AFRP ＝ aramid FRP, GFRP ＝ glass FRP In the following portion the three main components, namely matrices, adhesives and fibers of the composite materials strengthening system will be discussed as much as possible briefly. 2.1.1 Polymer matrices Polymeric matrices can be combined with carbon, glass, organic, or boron fibers to yield a wide class of polymeric composites with low density, high strength and stiffness, excellent chemical resistance and high fatigue resistance,. The main drawback of these materials is their relatively low temperature (in comparison with metals) resistance limited by the matrix. The polymer matrix of a fiber reinforced polymer material consists of a resin binder (polymer binder) and normally some additives and…

Ethical Perspective Question 1 The explanation is based on virtue ethics. It is a branch of ethics that insists on doing something because it is right. Giving free healthcare to all people means that people will no longer suffer or die due to illness. The virtues insisted, in this case, is fairness since all the people will get access to treatment since everyone is deserving of good health. Question 2 The argument is based on Duty ethics/Deontology. It is section n of ethics that insists that rules are followed and that actions should be determined by obligation. In this case, it is the obligation of the school to ensure that a person is molded into a better person by creating integrity in them. Question 3 The argument is based on moral relativism. Different cultures have different morals, and what seems right in one may be wrong in another. In that case, human sacrifice was not illegal according to the cultures that practice it, while in the modern world, it is immoral according to many cultures. Question 4 The argument is…

Causes and signs of water line damage No living animal can survive without water; the same can be said about your home. Without water, you would not cook, clean, or even bathe. The above also explains why your water bill takes up a more significant portion of your utility bills. Getting water is not enough; the water should be clean and uncontaminated. If you find that your water is sometimes discolored or has a smell, it might be contaminated. Water contamination can mean that your water line is compromised. To avoid a situation where your water gets contaminated because you require waterline repairs, below is some basic information you should know about your water line. 5 Signs your waterline is damaged Low water pressure When your water main is leaking, you will notice a decrease in the water pressure within the house or office. The pressure does not decrease at once, but it will happen gradually as the leak gets more prominent. The pipe is losing water before it can get to the house hence reducing water pressure when the…
