  • High Elevation Simulators

    2211 Words  | 5 Pages

    INTRODUCTION: It is no secret that that is above sea level, which is approximately 5000 feet and above are considered high elevation places. The higher the elevation the lower oxygen levels will be. Oxygen, as we know sustains life. The function of oxygen is to fuel one’s body, so essentially people who are more active require more oxygen to keep going. The question is how does a higher altitude effect athlete’s training and performance? It is a question that has been asked by trainers, coaches and

  • Super Elevations

    550 Words  | 2 Pages

    Have you ever been driving down the road and approach a turn too fast? What happens? You and the car undergo centrifugal force and you as well as the car are pushed away from the turn, or up the grade also know as a superelevation. An engineer must balance this force raising the grade on one side of the road. It should be noted that under theoretical observations steering would be effortless but in order to provide these ideal conditions the friction factor would be zero and the vehicle weight would

    variables Our results showed that species clusters differed in terms of analysed environmental variables. Generally, temperature-related variables (BIO1, BIO3, BIO4 and BIO9) were the key factors responsible for differentiation between the clusters. Elevation and variables connected with the terrain sculpture (WI, TI, TRI and MRVBF) were among the most important topographic variables separating species clusters. The influence of the geological variables (related to the bedrock) was relatively weak, but

  • Spatial Analysis

    2330 Words  | 5 Pages

    Introduction The development of GIS was a result of spatial data analysis (Goodchild and Robert 2003) in the same token GIS has advanced the management of spatially referenced data. The foundation of GIS as a result is spatial analysis because it involves operations such as transformations, manipulations and other methods that are applicable to GIS to improve the data values. In turn this will encourage decisions, exposing patterns or trends not easily identifiable and anomalies. The process of spatial

  • Calculating the Morphotectonic Indices of the Mula River Basin, Western Maharashtra, India

    1285 Words  | 3 Pages

    Geological structure plays a crucial role in determining a wide field of relief forms, even in areas where exogenetic factors are regarded as the dominant ones in the landscape (Ahnert 1998; Bloom 1998; Ritter et al. 2002). In recent years Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and Geographical Information System (GIS) technologies have been extensively used to determine the morphometric properties of tectonically active regions. In addition the use of Remote Sensing and GIS techniques to evaluate the tectonic

    The Relationship between the Angle of Elevation of a Ramp and the Speed of a Ball Introduction In this piece of coursework I'm going to investigate and measure the speed of the ball rolling down a ramp. From the data that I'm going to collect I'm going to be able to work out the Gravitational potential energy when changing the height, the friction force acting on the ball whilst it rolling down, and finally the kinetic energy exerted by the ball. Planning Fair Testing Before

  • Environmental Impact of Early Oil Extraction Infrastructure

    The earliest aerial photograph reviewed for Phase I ESA purposes was taken in 1943. The previous alignment of Highway 101, now called Santa Maria Way (or Business U.S. 101), is bordering the site to the west. An unpaved road had been constructed through the southern portion of the site that appears to be the access road to oil well Holmes No. 1, which is just east of the site, connecting it to Highway 101. The unpaved road through the site is looped with what appears to be four round tanks in

  • Commentary on The Only Alien on the Planet by Kristen Randle

    After reading, The Only Alien on the Planet, my views have changed on people. I have realized that some friends, like Caulder and Ginny, in the book would be willing to do anything to help Smitty in his situation. They didn't give up on him even if he never talked to them, because they knew Smitty was acting like that for a reason. Another view of mine that has changed is on how people act to one another. It has taught me that just because a person acts a certain way to you, like Smitty not talking

    629 Words  | 2 Pages

    We started at an elevation of about 6,400 feet. At his location there were many Pinion Pines, Junipers, rabbit brush, sagebrush, Indian rice grass, and cheat grass. At this location there were two different layouts. There were areas with more trees making a forest and there was a large area that had a few trees scattered through out. There were efforts to increase land for deer to graze so the trees were chain sawed down. Sadly their efforts failed because cheat grass has taken over all the open

    to take a closer look at. Lynch uses a device during his training called an elevation mask, which constricts your breathing through the mouth and the nose. A few questions arise—what effect does this mask have on ventilation and respiration of the respiratory cycle? Does the device in fact make it seem as if you’re working out in a high elevation setting, such as a mountain? From personal experience with the elevation mask, I have noticed that as soon as I put the mask on and begin my training

    Ladakh is a high-elevation cold desert, which makes it an extraordinary extreme environment. It provides a suitable habitat some wildly adapted microbes. Due to the high elevation a person can experience freezing cold temperatures and the burning nuisance of the sun all the same time. There is an abundance of cold adapted microbes in Ladakh, some which are thought to have application as inoculants and biocontrol agents in crops not only growing at low temperatures but at high elevation as well. The remote

  • Summary: Tibetan Genetic Heritage Vs. Gene

    of the world,” due to its high elevation. People that live in Tibet, called Tibetans, survive living in the high elevation with help from a gene called EPAS1. The gene helps the Tibetans survive oxygen deprivation in the high altitudes. Scientists had studied this gene for years in order to discover its origin, but they didn’t succeed until 2010. They found that the EPAS1 gene had come from Denisovan DNA. This EPAS1 gene has helped the Tibetans live in high elevations ever since they inherited the
