Biosafety and Biosecurity Definitions
Laboratory biosafety is the term used to describe the containment principles, technologies, and practices that are implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins, or their accidental release.
Laboratory biosecurity describes the protection, control, and accountability for valuable biological materials within laboratories, in order to prevent their unauthorized access, loss, theft, misuse, diversion, or intentional release.

1. Oxygen Delivery & Safety
- Oxygen Delivery Methods:
- Nasal cannula: 1-6 L/min
- Masks: 3-7 L/min
- Safety Precautions: Use humidification for high-flow oxygen and avoid sparks near oxygen sources.
- Fire Safety: Oxygen supports combustion and is a significant fire hazard. Ensure proper handling.
- COPD Oxygen Therapy: Administer low-flow oxygen at 2-3 L/min to prevent respiratory depression.
- Signs of Hypoxia: Tachypnea, confusion, cyanosis, restlessness, and dyspnea.
- Pulse Oximeter: This device monitors oxygen

Cristián Arriagada: Essential Physics Formulas
This compilation provides fundamental equations covering kinematics, dynamics, work, energy, and rotational motion in classical mechanics. These formulas are crucial for solving problems involving motion and forces.
1. Kinematics (Equations of Motion)
1.1. Uniformly Accelerated Motion (MUA)
- Velocity: V = V0 + a(t – t0)
- Position: X = X0 + V0t + 1/2 at2
- Velocity-Position: V2 = V02 + 2a(X – X0)
- Time: t = (V – V0) / a
1.2. Uniform Rectilinear Motion (MRU)
