* postural habit that can develop for numerous reasons.

Normal breathing
* involves rhythmic inhaling and exhaling.
* is carried out by movement of the diaphragm.
* matter of controlling the lungs.
* means breathing at a rate dictated by the body.
* takes in about one pint of air with each breath.

Patterned breathing
* pain coping technique using the principle of distraction.

### activity | breathing:

Shallow breathing

* can invoke an emotional imbalance.
* causes an inadequate supply of oxygen in the blood.
* creates tension and fatigue.
* is like working a part-time job.
* leads to breathlessness and a build up of anxiety.
* means less oxygen flow to the brain.
* puts less oxygen in the blood stream, producing an increase in muscle tension.
* reduces the oxygen content of the blood.
* typical physical response to anger, stress, fear, sadness, and pain.
* utilizes the thorax rather than the abdominal muscles.

* allows all measurements to be recorded in real units.
* are activities.
* arises from uncertainty in modeling complex physical processes.
* can be, for example, in terms of atmospheric pressure or altitude above sea level.
* classical inverse problem that can be solved with standard least-squares methods.
* compensates for the effects of any variables in a measurement system.
* depends on germination rates and row width.
* highly technical topic focused on quantitative issues.
* is an activity
  - in terms of equivalent activity contained in an aqueous solution
* is simply a term that describes a process of conforming to a standard
  - the comparison of instrument performance to a standard of known accuracy
* is the key to accurate measurements
  - means to provide a ratio of primary to secondary power
  - process of measuring and adjusting the amount of product applied to an area
* procedure performed by using a voltmeter.
* refers to the accuracy with which one can predict one's own performance
  - match between confidence and accuracy, rather than accuracy itself
  - process of getting consistent color output
