Hyper loop The hyper loop consists of a pair of steel tubes‚ normally elevated‚ which are evacuated to 0.015 psi. This not quite a hard vacuum but "soft" enough that relatively ordinary equipment can be used to maintain it‚ and some tiny leaks can be tolerated. This is about the same pressure as a spacecraft flying at about 30 miles would feel. Pretty low drag‚ but far from zero‚ especially at the proposed 760mph‚ approximately 1/1000th of sea-level drag. The vehicle is substantially smaller

POSITION PAPER ON THE OODA LOOP 1. The OODA loop is a critical thinking and decision making tool used by the military‚ businesses and regular people because it is one of the best. While many processes require step by step obedience‚ any of the steps in the OODA loop can be put into the “wrong” order to fit the needs of the situation. OODA stands for observe‚ orient‚ decide‚ act. 2. Observation is where an individual soaks up raw data and sorts it into relevant and non-relevant. Without the

Endocrine Case Histories - Case 28 A 21-year-old noncompliant male with a history of type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus was found in a coma. His blood glucose was high‚ as well as his urine glucose‚ urine ketones‚ and serum ketones. His serum bicarbonate was <12 mEq/L. His respiration was exaggerated and his breath had an acetone odor. His blood pressure was 90/60 and his pulse weak and rapid (120). ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form 1. Define noncompliant

Discuss the role of negative feedback in living organisms and how it benefits these living organisms? (25 marks) Negative feedback is the process by which changes occur to bring an organism’s internal environment back to the normal level. One example of negative feedback in a living organism is the ways humans regulate their blood glucose levels. I will firstly discuss the processes that occur as a result of blood glucose levels being too low. When blood glucose levels are too low the pancreas

Count-Controlled Loops and While Loops Count-controlled: control variable (or loop counter) initial value of the control variable increment (or decrement) by which the control variable is modified each iteration through the loop condition that tests for the final value of the control variable A count-controlled repetition will exit after running a certain number of times. The count is kept in a variable called an index or counter. When the index reaches a certain value (the loop bound) the loop will
