  2. Hypothermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia

    Trench foot or immersion foot: a condition caused by repetitive exposure to water at non-freezing temperatures [11] The normal human body temperature is often stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F). [13] Hyperthermia and fevers are defined as a temperature of greater than 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F). [8]

  3. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    Water vapor and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere provide a temperature buffer (greenhouse effect) which helps maintain a relatively steady surface temperature. If Earth were smaller, a thinner atmosphere would allow temperature extremes, thus preventing the accumulation of water except in polar ice caps (as on Mars ).

  4. Respiratory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_system

    Further divisions of the segmental bronchi (1 to 6 mm in diameter) [7] are known as 4th order, 5th order, and 6th order segmental bronchi, or grouped together as subsegmental bronchi. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Compared to the 23 number (on average) of branchings of the respiratory tree in the adult human, the mouse has only about 13 such branchings.

  5. Darjeeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darjeeling

    At the time of the first British arrival, Darjeeling was known among its Lepcha inhabitants as Dorje-ling, or the "Place of the Thunderbolt." [g] According to the Oxford Concise Dictionary of World Place Names, Darjeeling is derived from the Tibetan Dorje ling or Dorje-glin, meaning "Land of Dorje," i.e. of the vajra, the weapon of the Hindu god Indra.

  6. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    At a pressure of 1 atm (0.101325 MPa), the gas deposits directly to a solid at temperatures below 194.6855(30) K [2] (−78.4645(30) °C) and the solid sublimes directly to a gas above this temperature. In its solid state, carbon dioxide is commonly called dry ice. Pressure–temperature phase diagram of carbon dioxide. Note that it is a log ...

  7. Olive oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_oil

    The International Olive Council requires the median of the fruity attribute to be higher than zero for a given olive oil in order to meet the criteria of extra virgin olive oil classification. Virgin olive oil is a lesser grade of virgin oil, with free acidity of up to 2.0%, and is judged to have a good taste, but may include some sensory defects.

  8. Bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria

    Nearly all animal life is dependent on bacteria for survival as only bacteria and some archaea possess the genes and enzymes necessary to synthesise vitamin B 12, also known as cobalamin, and provide it through the food chain. Vitamin B 12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is involved in the metabolism of every cell of the

  9. Ultraviolet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet

    Solar water disinfection [122] has been researched for cheaply treating contaminated water using natural sunlight. The UVA irradiation and increased water temperature kill organisms in the water. Ultraviolet radiation is used in several food processes to kill unwanted microorganisms.
