For other uses, see Blindsight (disambiguation). Blindsight is the ability of people who are cortically blind due to lesions in their striate cortex, also known as primary visual cortex or V1, to respond to visual stimuli that they do not consciously see. [ 1] The majority of studies on blindsight are conducted on patients who have the conscious blindness on only one side of their visual field. Following the destruction of the striate cortex, patients are asked to detect, localize, and discriminate amongst visual stimuli that are presented to their blind side, often in a forced-response or guessing situation, even though they do not consciously recognize the visual stimulus. Research shows that blind patients achieve a higher accuracy than would be expected from chance alone. Type 1 blindsight is the term given to this ability to guess—at levels significantly above chance—aspects of a visual stimulus (such as location or type of movement) without any conscious awareness of any stimuli. Type 2 blindsight occurs when patients claim to have a feeling that there has been a change within their blind area—e.g. movement—but that it was not a visual percept. [ 2] Blindsight challenges the common belief that perceptions must enter consciousness to affect our behavior; showing that our behavior can be guided by sensory information of which we have no conscious awareness.

But a neuropsychologist named Elkhonon Goldberg at New York University School of Medicine, who wrote a fantastic book about frontal lobe functions called The Executive Brain, has a different theory. He thinks that while the frontal lobes may be more fragile, there is another factor involved, which is that every other part of the brain is connected to them. When you damage any part of the brain, you change input to the frontal lobes, and when you change input, you change output. If the frontal lobes aren't getting the right input, they don't produce the right output even though structurally they're fine. So all brain damage ends up looking like frontal lobe damage, whether the frontal lobes were injured or not. \"\" The orbital-frontal cortex and Phineas Gage: Updated 7/9/2011\"\"In primates, the frontal lobe has an important role in establishing priorities and planning,\"\" writes Allman in Evolving Brains. \"\" In particular, the lower surface of the frontal lobe, termed the orbital-frontal cortex, is especially important for these functions, as has been shown by an extraordinary series of clinical observations of brain-damaged patients by Antonio Damasio and his team in the Department of Neurology at the University of Iowa College of Medicine. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D2866198#0", "title": "https://courses.lumenlearning.com/wsu-sandbox/chapter/the-brain-and-spinal-cord/\nThe Brain and Spinal Cord", "text": "The Brain and Spinal Cord Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Explain the functions of the spinal cord Identify the hemispheres and lobes of the brain Describe the types of techniques available to clinicians and researchers to image or scan the brain The brain is a remarkably complex organ comprised of billions of interconnected neurons and glia.

In this section, we discuss the overall organization of the brain and the functions associated with different brain areas, beginning with what can be seen as an extension of the brain, the spinal cord. The Spinal Cord It can be said that the spinal cord is what connects the brain to the outside world. Because of it, the brain can act. The spinal cord is like a relay station, but a very smart one. It not only routes messages to and from the brain, but it also has its own system of automatic processes, called reflexes. The top of the spinal cord merges with the brain stem, where the basic processes of life are controlled, such as breathing and digestion.

It is also divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres by the longitudinal fissure, but the two hemispheres are joined at the midline by the corpus callosum. [ 1]At the cellular and circuit level, the cerebral cortex is characterized by two primary organizational features:across its surface it is divided into functional areas that serve various sensory, motor, and cognitive functions, andit is subdivided into several layers that organize the input and output connectivity of resident neurons. These two fundamental properties provide modular functionality. [ 1]In large mammals, the cerebral cortex is usually folded, providing a greater surface area in the confined volume of the cranium. Increased surface area is thought to be important because it allows for the addition and evolution of a greater diversity of functional modules, or areas.

Somatic senses inform the nervous system about the external environment, but the response to that is through voluntary muscle movement. The term “voluntary” suggests that there is a conscious decision to make a movement. However, some aspects of the somatic system use voluntary muscles without conscious control. One example is the ability of our breathing to switch to unconscious control while we are focused on another task. However, the muscles that are responsible for the basic process of breathing are also utilized for speech, which is entirely voluntary. Cortical Responses Let’s start with sensory stimuli that have been registered through receptor cells and the information relayed to the CNS along ascending pathways. In the cerebral cortex, the initial processing of sensory perception progresses to associative processing and then integration in multimodal areas of cortex. These levels of processing can lead to the incorporation of sensory perceptions into memory, but more importantly, they lead to a response. The completion of cortical processing through the primary, associative, and integrative sensory areas initiates a similar progression of motor processing, usually in different cortical areas." }, { "docid": "D133100#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_cortex\nMotor cortex", "text": "\"Motor cortex From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Motor Cortex Topography of human motor cortex Details Identifiers Latin cortex motorius Me SH D009044Neuro Names 2332Neuro Lex ID oen_0001104Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy [ edit on Wikidata]The motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements.

The original design of this system is preserved across many animals through evolution; thus, adaptive physiological and behavioral functions are similar across many animal species. Comparative study of physiological functioning in the nervous systems of different animals lend insights to their behavior and their mental processing and make it easier for us to understand the human brain and behavior. In addition, studying the development of the nervous system in a growing human provides a wealth of information about the change in its form and behaviors that result from this change. The nervous system is divided into central and peripheral nervous systems, and the two heavily interact with one another. The peripheral nervous system controls volitional (somatic nervous system) and nonvolitional (autonomic nervous system) behaviors using cranial and spinal nerves. The central nervous system is divided into forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, and each division performs a variety of tasks; for example, the cerebral cortex in the forebrain houses sensory, motor, and associative areas that gather sensory information, process information for perception and memory, and produce responses based on incoming and inherent information.

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The cerebral cortex is connected to various subcortical structures such as the thalamus and the basal ganglia, sending information to them along efferent connections and receiving information from them via afferent connections. Most sensory information is routed to the cerebral cortex via the thalamus. Olfactory information, however, passes through the olfactory bulb to the olfactory cortex (piriform cortex). The vast majority of connections are from one area of the cortex to another rather than to subcortical areas; Braitenberg and Schüz (1991) put the figure as high as 99%. [ 15] The cortex is commonly described as comprising three parts: sensory, motor, and association areas. Sensory areas The sensory areas are the areas that receive and process information from the senses. Parts of the cortex that receive sensory inputs from the thalamus are called primary sensory areas. The senses of vision, audition, and touch are served by the primary visual cortex, primary auditory cortex and primary somatosensory cortex.

We have already seen that the sudden increase in structural complexity is accompanied by a dramatic increase in physiological complexity. In the cortex we find a greater variety of physiologically defined cell types, and the cells respond to more elaborate stimuli, especially to a greater number of stimulus parameters that have to be properly specified. We are concerned not only with stimulus position and spot size, as we are in the retina and geniculate, but now suddenly with line orientation, eye dominance, movement direction, line length, and curvature. What if anything is the relation between these variables and the structural organization of the cortex? To address this question, I will need to begin by saying something about the structure of the striate cortex. ANATOMY OF THE VISUAL CORTEX The cerebral cortex, which almost entirely covers the cerebral hemispheres, has the general form of a plate whose thickness is about 2 millimeters and whose surface area in humans is over i square foot. The total area of the macaque monkey's cortex is much less, probably about one-tenth that of the human. We have known for over a century that this plate is subdivided into a patchwork of many different cortical areas; of these, the primary visual cortex was the first to be distinguished from the rest by its layered or striped appearance in cross section—hence its classical name, striate cortex. At one time the entire careers of neuroanatomists consisted of separating off large numbers of cortical areas on the basis of sometimes subtle histological distinctions, and in one popular numbering system the striate cortex was assigned the number 17." }, { "docid": "D1593258#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/area\narea", "text": "area Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Financial, Acronyms, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

It may be used in people who have symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, or suicidal thoughts or when other treatments such as psychotherapy and antidepressant medicines have not worked. It is also used for other psychiatric and neurological conditions, such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. Before ECT, you are given anesthesia to put you in a sleepy state, and you are given medicines to relax your muscles. Then an electrical current is briefly sent to the brain through electrodes placed on the temples or elsewhere on the head, depending on the condition and type of ECT. The electrical stimulation, which lasts up to 8 seconds, produces a short seizure. Because of anesthesia, the seizure activity related to ECT does not cause the body to convulse. It is not known exactly how this brain stimulation helps treat depression. ECT probably works by altering brain chemicals (similarly to medicines), including neurotransmitters like serotonin, natural pain relievers called endorphins, and catecholamines such as adrenaline. ECT treatments are usually done 2 to 3 times a week for 2 to 3 weeks." } ]

When these have taken full effect, the patient's brain is stimulated, using electrodes placed at precise locations on the patient's head, with a brief controlled series of electrical pulses. This stimulus causes a seizure within the brain which lasts for approximately a minute. Because of the muscle relaxants and anesthesia, the patient's body does not convulse and the patient feels no pain.

The treatments were unpleasant and dangerous. They were given without anesthesia. The ICT mortality rate varied from 1% to 10% of patients treated. Prolonged coma, in which the patient did not respond to the administration of glucose, was a constant threat. ECT was safer, with lower mortality rates, but patients suffered fractures, severe memory loss, and spontaneous seizures.

Major depressive disorder is a common mental disorder that can negatively affect many areas of someone’s life. It impacts mood and behavior as well as various physical functions, including appetite and sleep. People with major depression often lose interest in activities they once enjoyed and have trouble performing everyday activities. Occasionally, they may even feel as if life isn’t worth living. It’s estimated that about 20 percent of people with major depression also have symptoms of psychosis. This combination is sometimes referred to as psychotic depression.

Only a few realized that individuals with mental illnesses should be treated humanely rather than exorcised, punished, or banished. Certain Greek medical writers, however, notably Hippocrates (flourished 400 bce ), regarded mental disorders as diseases to be understood in terms of disturbed physiology. He and his followers emphasized natural causes, clinical observation, and brain pathology. Later Greek medical writers, including those who practiced in imperial Rome, prescribed treatments for mental illness, including a quiet environment, work, and the use of drugs such as the purgative hellebore. It is probable that most people with psychoses during ancient times were cared for by their families and that those who were thought to be dangerous to themselves or others were detained at home by relatives or by hired keepers. Hippocrates, Roman bust copied from a Greek original, c. 3rd century bce; in the collection of the Antichità di Ostia, Italy. Courtesy of the Soprintendenza alle Antichità di Ostia, Italy During the early Middle Ages in Europe, primitive thinking about mental illness reemerged, and witchcraft and demonology were invoked to account for the symptoms and behaviour of people with psychoses. At least some of those who were deemed insane were looked after by the religious orders, who offered care for the sick generally. The empirical and quasi-scientific Greek tradition in medicine was maintained not by the Europeans but by the Muslim Arabs, who are usually credited with the establishment of asylums for the mentally ill in the Middle East as early as the 8th century." }, { "docid": "D495700#0", "title": "http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/electroconvulsive-therapy/basics/definition/PRC-20014161\nOverview", "text": "Overview Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a procedure, done under general anesthesia, in which small electric currents are passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure. ECT seems to cause changes in brain chemistry that can quickly reverse symptoms of certain mental illnesses. ECT often works when other treatments are unsuccessful and when the full course of treatment is completed, but it may not work for everyone. Much of the stigma attached to ECT is based on early treatments in which high doses of electricity were administered without anesthesia, leading to memory loss, fractured bones and other serious side effects. ECT is much safer today. Although ECT still causes some side effects, it now uses electric currents given in a controlled setting to achieve the most benefit with the fewest possible risks. Why it's done Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can provide rapid, significant improvements in severe symptoms of several mental health conditions. ECT is used to treat: Severe depression, particularly when accompanied by detachment from reality (psychosis), a desire to commit suicide or refusal to eat.

Critics call it by its old name: electroshock. They claim that it temporarily \"\"lifts\"\" depression by causing transient personality changes similar to those seen in head injury patients: euphoria, confusion and memory loss. Both camps agree that ECT, which is administered annually to an estimated 100,000 Americans, most of them women, is a simple procedure -- so simple that an ad for the most widely used shock machine tells doctors they need only set a dial to a patient's age and press a button. Electrodes connected to an ECT machine, which resembles a stereo receiver, are attached to the scalp of a patient who has received general anesthesia and a muscle relaxant. With the flip of a switch the machine delivers enough electricity to power a light bulb for a fraction of a second.

One big appeal: Unlike medications, it specifically hits the brain instead of the whole body So it is also offers an intriguing possible treatment for postpartum depression in women, say, who are breastfeeding and don't want their babies to be exposed to drugs. To deliver TMS, a clinician presses a device to the patient's head to deliver magnetic pulses that reach about an inch deep inside the skull, causing electrical changes in targeted neurons. Typically, a TMS patient goes through a series of about half-hour treatments, usually several times per week over the course of a few weeks or maybe a month. But the results are temporary and may only last weeks or months; patients may need to return for an additional series of treatments if symptoms return.

D. ~ 2 min read Electroconvulsive Therapy — or ECT as it’s commonly known — is a brief medical procedure that involves applying short electrical bursts to the brain through external electrode pads on your head. These electrical bursts create a seizure, which has been shown to help relieve symptoms associated with severe depression. The entire procedure lasts about 15 minutes, although you may be in the hospital for about an hour to include time for prep and recovery from the treatment. ECT treatments are usually grouped together in 6 to 12 treatments at a time, generally given three times a week for 2 to 4 weeks. The number of treatments you will need depends on the severity of your symptoms and how rapidly they improve. Before your first ECT treatment, your doctor needs to make sure the procedure is safe for you. Your psychiatrist will likely refer you to a physician for a physical examination, an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check your heart’s health, and laboratory tests (basic blood tests), to ensure there are no medical conditions that would preclude you from receiving ECT treatment. You may also be referred to an anesthesiologist to go over the risks associated with having anesthesia. Modern electroconvulsive therapy is administered under general anesthesia, to ensure it is a safe and pain-free experience. You will therefore be unconscious during the treatment." }, { "docid": "D556284#0", "title": "http://www.webmd.com/depression/news/20030619/memory-loss-common-complaint-with-ect\nMemory Loss Common Complaint With ECT", "text": "\"Memory Loss Common Complaint With ECTBut Defenders Say Electroconvulsive Therapy Still the Best Option for Some Depression By Salynn Boyles From the Web MD Archives June 19, 2003 -- Supporters say the controversial treatment called electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) helps severely depressed patients who have few other medical options, but new research concludes that this help may come at a high price.

A retrospective study conducted by investigators at Captain James Lovell Federal Health Care Center (FHCC) – Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago, Illinois, showed that among patients with PTSD and major depressive disorder (MDD), the death rate among those who did not receive ECT was significantly greater than that of their counterparts who received ECT.

This acute episode is the focus of initial treatment. Depending on the severity, bipolar treatment options may include hospitalization, particularly if harm to the patient or those around him or her is a concern. The goal of acute bipolar disorder treatment is to rapidly stabilize the condition enough to get the patient out of danger and move forward into a long-term bipolar treatment plan. Typically this means treating the episode with the appropriate bipolar medication and scheduling follow-up sessions with a psychiatrist, psychotherapist and/or case manager. Medication Treatment of Bipolar Disorder Both acute manic or depressive episodes, as well as long-term bipolar treatment, typically require the use of medications. Medications for bipolar disorder vary depending on the phase of the illness: acute mania, acute depression or long-term treatment. 1 Medication selection is also based on specific symptoms and severity. Common medications used in the treatment of bipolar disorder include: Antipsychotics such as haloperidol (Haldol), ziprasidone (Geodon), quetiapine (Seroquel) and risperidon (Risperdal)Lithium Anticonvulsants (often called mood stabilizers) like Valproate (Depakote) and lamotrigine (Lamictal)Benzodiazepines such as clonazepam (Klonopin) and lorazepam (Ativan)Antidepressants may be prescribed, but only with additional mood stabilizing medication. Most doctors agree, antidepressants should be used with caution in the treatment of bipolar disorder due to the possibility of inducing mania or rapid-cycling.

Brain stimulation therapies involve activating or inhibiting the brain directly with electricity. The electricity can be given directly by electrodes implanted in the brain, or noninvasively through electrodes placed on the scalp. The electricity can also be induced by using magnetic fields applied to the head. While these types of therapies are less frequently used than medication and psychotherapies, they hold promise for treating certain mental disorders that do not respond to other treatments. Electroconvulsive therapy is the best studied brain stimulation therapy and has the longest history of use. Other stimulation therapies discussed here are newer, and in some cases still experimental methods. These include:vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (r TMS)magnetic seizure therapy (MST)deep brain stimulation (DBS)A treatment plan may also include medication and psychotherapy.

Electroconvulsive Therapy Definition Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a medical treatment for severe mental illness in which a small, carefully controlled amount of electricity is introduced into the brain. This electricalstimulation, used in conjunction with anesthesia and muscle relaxant medications, produces a mild generalized seizure or convulsion. While used to treat a variety of psychiatric disorders, it is most effective in the treatment of severe depression, and provides the most rapid relief currentlyavailable for this illness. Purpose The purpose of electroconvulsive therapy is to provide relief from the signs and symptoms of mental illnesses such as severe depression, mania, and schizophrenia. ECT is indicated whenpatients need rapid improvement because they are suicidal, self-injurious, refuse to eat or drink,cannot or will not take medication as prescribed, or present some other danger to themselves. Antidepressant medications, while effective in many cases, may take two-six weeks to produce a therapeutic effect.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder, meaning it is a problem caused by changes in how the GI tract works. Children with a functional GI disorder have frequent symptoms, but the GI tract does not become damaged. IBS is not a disease; it is a group of symptoms that occur together. The most common symptoms of IBS are abdominal pain or discomfort, often reported as cramping, along with diarrhea, constipation, or both. In the past, IBS was called colitis, mucous colitis, spastic colon, nervous colon, and spastic bowel. The name was changed to reflect the understanding that the disorder has both physical and mental causes and is not a product of a person’s imagination. IBS is diagnosed when a child who is growing as expected has abdominal pain or discomfort once per week for at least 2 months without other disease or injury that could explain the pain. The pain or discomfort of IBS may occur with a change in stool frequency or consistency or may be relieved by a bowel movement.

Silver, November 2008Question: Help! my dog has diarrhea—is there anything in my medicine cabinet or on my kitchen shelf that could be used to save both of us a visit to the vet? Answer: As a veterinarian, this author sees many patients with minor problems (such as the dog in this story) who could be treated at home safely and effectively. At the same time, there are dogs whose problems, if not addressed early enough by a veterinary professional, suffer more than they need to. Probably the most common complaint received by veterinarians is that of diarrhea. It’s such an easy condition to identify: The smell is unmistakable, as is its chocolate-pudding appearance. Most of the time, diarrhea is caused by a dietary indiscretion or stressful circumstances, and is self-limiting. Diarrhea is not a disease; rather, it is a symptom of a dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). When associated with bad food or food-borne pathogens, diarrhea serves to rapidly remove pathogens from the GIT before they have a chance to be absorbed and cause more damage. Warning Signs That Diarrhea Needs Medical Attention • Black, tarry stool, or stool with copious amounts of fresh blood (bright red)• Loss of appetite• Marked lethargy• Frequent vomiting• Signs of abdominal pain ( bloating, groaning, panting rapidly or avoidance response when belly is touched)• Lasts longer than 48 hours (Since it can rapidly weaken puppies and geriatrics, or dogs with chronic diseases, they may need veterinary attention sooner. )" }, { "docid": "D1948726#0", "title": "http://beingstray.com/canine-stools-diarrhea/\nWhat Canine Stools Tell You About Diarrhea", "text": "What Canine Stools Tell You About Diarrhea By isak, June 10, 2009Diarrhea is the passage of loose, unformed stools generally occurring in more frequent bowel movements.

Chronic diarrhea often comes on gradually and persists for three weeks or longer, or has an episodic pattern of recurrence. Chronic diarrhea requires veterinary investigation.

[ 3] Sometimes, different alleles can result in different observable phenotypic traits, such as different pigmentation. A notable example of this trait of color variation is Gregor Mendel's discovery that the white and purple flower colors in pea plants were the result of \"\"pure line\"\" traits which could be used as a control for future experiments. However, most genetic variations result in little or no observable variation. The word \"\"allele\"\" is a short form of allelomorph (\"\"other form\"\", a word coined by British geneticists William Bateson and Edith Rebecca Saunders ), [4] [5] which was used in the early days of genetics to describe variant forms of a gene detected as different phenotypes. It derives from the Greek prefix ἀλλήλ, allel, meaning \"\"reciprocal\"\", or \"\"each other\"\", which itself is related to the Greek adjective ἄλλος, allos (cognate with Latin alius ), meaning \"\"other\"\". Most multicellular organisms have two sets of chromosomes; that is, they are diploid. These chromosomes are referred to as homologous chromosomes.

In 1930, he belatedly received the Nobel Prize for his discovery of blood types. All humans and many other primates can be typed for the ABO blood group. There are four principal types: A, B, AB, and O. There are two antigens and two antibodies that are mostly responsible for the ABO types. The specific combination of these four components determines an individual's type in most cases.

However, an individual with this rare blood phenotype cannot receive blood from these people. Why? There are four blood groups in the ABO system - A, B, AB, and O, and classification is based on the presence or absence of antigenic substances that appear on the surface of blood cells. Both parents contribute to a child's blood type and the alleles that contribute to this are O, A, and B. Knowing the blood phenotypes of a couple, a person is able to predict the blood type of their child using the Punnet square. For example, if a blood type BO woman has a child with a man who is blood type O or at least carries an O allele (AO, BO, or OO genotypes) then they could have a blood type O child. However, there are rare instances when a couple produces a type O child even if they don’t possess any O allele. If this situation occurs, the child possibly carries the Bombay blood type, a blood type first discovered among three unrelated individuals in Bombay (now Mumbai) India in 1952 by Dr. Bhende and his colleagues. The major characteristic of the red blood cells of the Bombay blood group is the absence of the H antigen.

The term haemolytic disease means that red blood cells are broken down more quickly than usual which can cause jaundice, anaemia and in very severe cases can cause death. During pregnancy, this breakdown of red blood cells in the baby may occur if the mother and baby’s blood types are incompatible and if these different blood types come into direct contact with each other and antibodies are formed. Significant problems with ABO incompatibility occur mostly with babies whose mothers have O blood type and where the baby is either A or B blood type. Premature babies are much more likely to experience severe problems from ABO incompatibility, while healthy full term babies are generally only mildly effected. Unlike haemolytic disease that can result in subsequent babies when a mother has a negative blood group, ABO incompatibility can occur in first-born babies and does not become more severe in further pregnancies. To help you understand ABO incompatibility, it is helpful to review the different blood groups. The genes you inherit from your parents determine your blood group. There are four blood types; A, B, AB and O. Each blood type has its own individual collection of chemicals on the blood cell surface known as antigens, so type A has the A antigen, B has the B antigen, AB has both antigens and O contains no antigen. If different blood types mix, an immune response occurs and the person will produce antibodies to attack the foreign blood antigen." }, { "docid": "D1493835#0", "title": "http://facstaff.uwa.edu/jmccall/evolution_of_the_human.htm\nThe purpose of this web page is to explain some basic facts about human ABO blood group system and to summarize the research and hypotheses regarding its evolution.", "text": "\"EVOLUTION OF THE HUMANABO BLOOD GROUP SYSTEMBonnie B.

BACKGROUNDThe ABO System -- A Polymorphism (http://www.bayerpharma-na.com/children/RON/circu/chrc.0103.asp)Humans can have blood types A, B, AB, or O. This is known as the ABO blood group system, and it is a polymorphism . A polymorphism is defined as a \"\"genetic locus with two or more alleles that occur in appreciable (>1%) frequency in a given population\"\" (http://www.as.ua.edu). The ABO blood group system was the first polymorphism discovered in humans. It is however only one of MANY systems involving the red blood cells. Antibodies and Antigens Understanding the difference between antibodies and antigens is essential to understanding the ABO blood group system and its evolution. Antibodies are substances produced by the body when it is invaded and act to protest it from the foreign substance. Antigens are found in the invading substance and elicit the production of antibodies. The two substances, thus, work in conjunction with each other. ( http://www.uen.org/utahlink/activities/view activity.cgi?activity ld=3037)Typically, the body does not produce antibodies until AFTER it has been introduced to a new substance." }, { "docid": "D2089233#0", "title": "http://livehealthy.chron.com/can-type-o-blood-given-anyone-10193.html\nWhy Can Type O Blood Be Given to Anyone?", "text": "\"Related Articles1 [RH- Blood] | What Happens if a Mother Has an RH- Blood Type & the Fetus Has an RH+ Blood Type?2 [Could Cause] | What Could Cause Blood in the Stool & Sharp Stomach Pains?3 [Wrong Blood] | What Happens When You Give Someone the Wrong Blood Type?4 [Blood Pressure] | What Is Extremely High Blood Pressure?

Mendel observed that a heterozygote offspring can show the same phenotype as the parent homozygote, so he concluded that there were some traits that dominated over other inherited traits. However, the relationship of genotype to phenotype is rarely as simple as the dominant and recessive patterns described by Mendel. As the study of inheritance expanded beyond the seven traits Mendel initially examined and also included organisms other than pea plants, biologists began to notice a variety of relationships between alleles that code for the same trait. These allelic interactions were not exclusively recessive or dominant, and they greatly enriched our understanding of how genotype leads to phenotype. Complete versus Partial Dominance Figure 1Figure Detail Dominance affects the phenotype derived from an organism 's genes, but it does not affect the way these genes are inherited. Complete dominance occurs when the heterozygote phenotype is indistinguishable from that of the homozygous parent. However, sometimes the heterozygote displays a phenotype that is an intermediate between the phenotypes of both homozygote parents (one of which is homozygous dominant, and the other of which is homozygous recessive). This intermediate phenotype is a demonstration of partial or incomplete dominance. When partial dominance occurs, a range of phenotypes is usually observed among the offspring." }, { "docid": "D2529146#0", "title": "http://www.bloodbook.com/rare.html\nRARE BLOOD TYPESBLOODBOOK.COM", "text": "\"RARE BLOOD TYPESBLOODBOOK.

Human blood type is determined by the presence or absence of certain identifiers on the surface of red blood cells. These identifiers, also called antigens, help the body's immune system to recognize it's own red blood cell type. There are four main ABO blood type groupings: A, B, AB, and O. These blood groups are determined by the antigen on the blood cell surface and the antibodies present in the blood plasma. Antibodies (also called immunoglobulins) are specialized proteins that identify and defend against foreign intruders to the body. Antibodies recognize and bind to specific antigens so that the foreign substance can be destroyed. Antibodies in an individual's blood plasma will be different from the antigen type present on the red blood cell surface. For example, a person with type A blood will have A antigens on the blood cell membrane and type B antibodies (anti-B) in the blood plasma. ABO Blood Types ABO blood group antigens present on red blood cells and Ig M antibodies present in the serum.

Beriberi is a disease caused by a vitamin B-1 deficiency, also known as thiamine deficiency. There are two types of the disease: wet beriberi and dry beriberi. Wet beriberi affects the heart and circulatory system. In extreme cases, wet beriberi can cause heart failure. Dry beriberi damages the nerves and can lead to decreased muscle strength and eventually, muscle paralysis. Beriberi can be life-threatening if it isn’t treated. If you have access to foods rich in thiamine, your chances of developing beriberi are low. Today, beriberi mostly occurs in people with an alcohol use disorder. Beriberi from other causes are rare in the United States." } ]

Basic Description Role in Health Support Summary of Food Sources Nutrient Rating Chart Impact of Cooking, Storage and Processing Risk of Dietary Deficiency Other Circumstances that Might Contribute to Deficiency Relationship with Other Nutrients Risk of Dietary Toxicity Disease Checklist Public Health Recommendations References Basic Description Vitamin B1, also known as thiamin, is classified as a B-complex vitamin. Very small amounts of vitamin B1 are found in virtually all foods, and many commonly eaten foods contain substantial amounts. For example, 50/100 of our WHFoods rank as good, very good, or excellent sources of B1. In this context, it might seem odd that deficiency of vitamin B1 is among the more common nutrient deficiencies in the U. S. Yet there is a very simple reason for this high risk of deficiency despite the widespread availability of vitamin B1 in foods, and that reason is food processing. Vitamin B1 is among the nutrients most prone to destruction by our modern food production system. At each step along the way, from storage though refining up through cooking, we lose a big portion of the vitamin B1 content of foods. We'll detail this more in the Impact of Cooking, Storage, and Processing section below. For these reasons, vitamin B1 makes a good case study for the wisdom of the World's Healthiest Foods approach of minimal processing and low impact cooking techniques. Of the foods listed on our site, we have one excellent source of vitamin B1 (asparagus), 10 very good sources, and 39 good sources." }, { "docid": "D1115829#0", "title": "http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/test-catalog/Clinical+and+Interpretive/42356\nUseful For", "text": "Useful For Assessment of thiamine deficiency Thiamine measurement in patients with behavioral changes, eye signs, gait disturbances, delirium, and encephalopathy; or in patients with questionable nutritional status, especially those who appear at risk and who also are being given insulin for hyperglycemia Clinical Information Thiamine (vitamin B1) is an essential vitamin required for carbohydrate metabolism, brain function, and peripheral nerve myelination. Thiamine is obtained from the diet. Body stores are limited and deficiencies can develop quickly. The total thiamine pool in the average adult is about 30 mg. An intake of 0.5 mg per 1,000 kcal per day is needed to maintain this pool. Due to its relatively short storage time, marginal deficiency can occur within 10 days and more severe deficiency within 21 days if intake is restricted. Approximately 80% of all chronic alcoholics are thiamine deficient due to poor nutrition. However, deficiency also can occur in individuals who are elderly, have chronic gastrointestinal problems, have marked anorexia, are on cancer treatment, or are receiving diuretic therapy. The signs and symptoms of mild-to-moderate thiamine deficiency are nonspecific and may include poor sleep, malaise, weight loss, irritability, and confusion. Newborns breast fed from deficient mothers may develop dyspnea and cyanosis; diarrhea, vomiting, and aphonia may follow." }, { "docid": "D640416#0", "title": "http://www.livestrong.com/article/274311-list-of-vitamin-deficiency-diseases/\nList of Vitamin Deficiency Diseases", "text": "List of Vitamin Deficiency Diseasesby MARTIN HUGHES Oct. 03, 2017Numerous diseases are associated with vitamin deficiency. According to the World Health Organization, or WHO, micronutrient deficiencies, including vitamin deficiencies, can affect anybody, although young children and pregnant women in certain developing nations are more commonly affected than others. Vitamin deficiency may be caused by an unhealthy diet, starvation or certain medical conditions that make absorbing nutrients difficult. Symptoms associated with vitamin deficiency diseases vary based on the disease and its severity.

According to the Medline Plus website, pellagra occurs when a person fails to get sufficient amounts of niacin, or vitamin B3, or tryptophan. Tryptophan is one of 20 standard amino acids. Niacin is a water-soluble B vitamin that assists the digestive system, skin and nerves. The most common cause of pellagra is insufficient amounts of niacin or tryptophan in the diet.

Thiamine is mostly concentrated in the skeletal muscles. It is also found in the heart, liver and kidneys. Thiamine is excreted through the kidney. Causes and Risk Factors Beriberi is mostly found in developing countries where people may not be able to access a diet rich in vitamin B1." }, { "docid": "D932081#0", "title": "http://www.virtualmedstudent.com/links/nutrition/vitaminB1.html\nVitamin B1 (aka: thiamine)", "text": "\"Vitamin B1 (aka: thiamine)Function and Biochemistry || Role in Disease || Diagnosis || Overview || Related Articles || References and Resources || Leave a Comment || Search Function and Biochemistry Tweet Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and its derivatives serve many roles in the body. It functions primarily as a cofactor to help enzymes perform their molecular reactions. Several well known biochemical reactions in which thiamine plays a crucial component include: (1) Conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-Co A. (2) Conversion of α-ketoglutarate to succinyl-Co A in the Krebs cycle. ( 3) Conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to ribose-5-phosphate. ( 4) It is used by the enzyme branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase. All of these reactions are crucial to human biochemistry. The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-Co A feeds important molecules into the Krebs cycle, which allows the cell to produce energy. The conversion of α-ketoglutarate to succinyl-Co A is necessary for the Krebs cycle to continue \"\"spinning\"\". Without vitamin B1 (thiamine) the cycle would slow causing decreased energy production.

If it is in alcoholic patients, they will need to discontinue consumption of the alcohol as well. Beriberi is caused by a deficiency of thiamine (Vit. B1). It can be a dietary-related deficiency or in some people (alcoholics and alcohol abusers) it is a problem with the body's ability to take in the vitamin from foods and/or store it. Today's diets in the developed nations are mostly supplemented with enough thiamine to prevent it in otherwise healthy people. It is still seen in under developed countries with diets lacking in proper nutrients.

Scurvy is probably the first illness to be recognized (though not right away, as you will see) as a nutritional deficiency disorder. Its main symptom is massive hemorrhaging; one’s arteries, lacking sufficient vitamin C begin to pit and then finally break open causing internal hemorrhaging. Prior to this, the individual feels exhausted and weak, his gums start to bleed, and diarrhea sets in. Death was far too common the final result. ( For more on vitamin C and its connection to arterial health, you might wish to order our book, Bypassing Bypass . ) Hippocrates first described scurvy as bleeding gums, hemorrhaging and death in the 5th century BC. Outbreaks of scurvy were reported in 1500 BC Egypt, during the winters when fresh produce was scarce. In 1250, during the Crusades, rampant scurvy forced the retreat and eventual capture of St. Louis and his knights.

Thiamine deficiency causes a condition known as beriberi or beri-beri. The initial symptoms are very vague. The first indication of thiamine deficiency may be simple fatigue. As the condition becomes more advanced, there is a wide range of symptoms, affecting many organ systems. These include, but are not limited to chest pains, memory loss, muscle cramps and weakness. In more advanced cases, muscle atrophy and heart failure may be present. Purpose Thiamin has several important functions. It works with other B-group vitamins to help release energy from the food we eat and it keeps nerves and muscle tissue healthy.

Vitamin deficiency occurs when there is insufficient or poor dietary intake of essential vitamins. Inadequate levels of vitamins may result in an array of miserable conditions and make the body feeble and vulnerable to many diseases. Types of Vitamin Deficiency Vitamin deficiency can be classified into two types: Primary Deficiency Primary deficiency is when an inadequate vitamin intake causes a person to become deficient. It is due to not receiving the necessary levels of a vitamin from your diet and this type is basic; it can be easily cured by adopting a special vitamin diet or taking vitamin supplements. Secondary Deficiency When a deficiency occurs as a result of a disease or lifestyle factor, this is called secondary deficiency. For example, smokers need to increase their intake of vitamin C by 30-50%. Another example is when someone’s lifestyle causes them to get minimal sun exposure which cause a deficiency in their vitamin D levels. This deficiency can affect the calcium absorption needed for healthy bones.

J. D. Novak Summary The vitamins were discovered in the span of only five decades commencing at the end of the nineteenth century. This was the result of observations by many people of relationships between diet and health in ways that were not explained by germ theory. Early observations based on the differential physical characteristics of bioactive component of foods gave rise to refinements afforded by a variety of experimental animal models with increasing definition of diet composition. This produced a zig-zag course of discovery that ultimately moved nutrition research to an activity reliant on hypothesis testing through experimentation. By the mid-twentieth century, 13 groups of vitamins were recognized and compositional information was available for use in the formulation of healthful diets for humans and animals. Anchoring Concepts1. A scientific theory is a plausible explanation for a set of observed phenomena; because theories cannot be tested directly, their acceptance relies on a preponderance of supporting evidence.2. A scientific hypothesis is a tentative supposition that is assumed for the purposes of argument or testing, and is thus used in the generation of evidence by which theories can be evaluated.3. An empirical approach to understanding the world involves the generation of theories strictly by observation, whereas an experimental approach involves the undertaking of operations (experiments) to test the truthfulness of hypotheses.4." }, { "docid": "D1324747#0", "title": "http://wikieducator.org/Carbohydrates,_Proteins,_Vitamins_and_Minerals\nCarbohydrates, Proteins, Vitamins and Minerals", "text": "\"Carbohydrates, Proteins, Vitamins and Minerals By Dr. Mohd.

These are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber and water. It is important to consume these seven nutrients on a daily basis to build and maintain health. Deficiencies, excesses and imbalances in diet can produce negative impacts on health, which may lead to diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, scurvy, obesity, or osteoporosis as well as psychological and behavioral problems.

The most basic cause is simply a person not consuming foods with enough Vitamin B1, however this is rare in first world countries. Problems with the absorption of Vitamin B1 Thiamine in the small intestines can also result in a deficiency. One of the most common reasons this happens is consuming too much alcohol, however, there are a number of diseases that can result in a condition where Thiamine is not absorbed correctly. Symptoms related to low levels of energy in the person are the most common since energy production in the cells requires vitamin B1. The proper functioning of brain cells requires large amounts of energy making the effects quite dramatic and very visible when normal brain functioning is impaired by a lack of energy. Symptoms of Vitamin B1 Thiamine Deficiency Vitamin B1 deficiency has a number of basic symptoms associated with it. Supplementation or an increase in vitamin B1 nutritional levels can typically reverse the symptoms quickly. The initial stages of cellular starvation are the cause of most symptoms.

Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I've personally had lasagna thats a week old and had no ill effects. But 3-5 days is probably a safe answer. It really depends on the temperature of your fridge, the colder it is, the longer the food will last. You will however, want to reheat it to an internal temperature of 165°F or greater. That will feel VERY hot, but 165°F is the magic number for reheating food safely.

Do I thaw it out in the fridge? If so, how long? Thanks, Karen Graves Answer: Hi Karen. The ideal approach is to defrost your lasagna (or in this case several 'lasagne') at room temperature, before cooking or reheating them (if already pre-cooked) as normal, i.e. for roughly 20 mins at 180C/355-degrees Fahrenheit. If however you are really pushed for time, I would pop them in the oven on a lower heat to defrost it (maybe half the heat mentioned above). Defrost like this until you can push in a toothpick without hitting ice. Then ramp up the temperature to that noted above and cook for 15 mins (to start) at this full temperature. Add extra 5 minute blasts until fully cooked through. Hope that's clear Karen." }, { "docid": "D424020#0", "title": "http://www.savvyeat.com/freeze-enchiladas/\nHow to Freeze Enchiladas", "text": "How to Freeze Enchiladas January 15, 2015 by Julie 14 Comments When I started brainstorming my list of dishes to freeze before the baby comes, enchiladas were one of the first new things I added. I’ve frozen lasagna and taquitos before, so those were naturally at the top of my entrees list. Enchiladas came immediately after. We love our tacos, and they are in a regular rotation on our menu, but enchiladas often have very similar flavor profiles to tacos. And while I could easily freeze some taco filling, it is going to be easier to reheat frozen enchiladas than it will be to assemble tacos when we’re taking care of a newborn (and probably less messy to eat one-handed, as well!). So I got to experimenting. I couldn’t decide whether or not I needed to leave off the enchilada sauce before freezing. I was a little worried that the acidity of the tomato-based sauce would eat away at the aluminum foil, or that the sauce would pick up a “tinny” flavor in the freezer. So I tested two freezing methods, and froze half the enchiladas with sauce, and half without. Before I reheated the dish, I added enchilada sauce to the other half, and topped both sides with cheese.

[ notes 1] Later, he raised the idea that they could be involved in heredity. [ 1]Nucleic acids are biopolymers, or small biomolecules, essential to all known forms of life. They are composed of nucleotides, which are monomers made of three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. If the sugar is a compound ribose, the polymer is RNA (ribonucleic acid); if the sugar is derived from ribose as deoxyribose, the polymer is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Nucleic acids are the most important of all biomolecules. They are found in abundance in all living things, where they function to create and encode and then store information in the nucleus of every living cell of every life-form organism on Earth. In turn, they function to transmit and express that information inside and outside the cell nucleus—to the interior operations of the cell and ultimately to the next generation of each living organism. The encoded information is contained and conveyed via the nucleic acid sequence, which provides the 'ladder-step' ordering of nucleotides within the molecules of RNA and DNA. Strings of nucleotides are bonded to form helical backbones—typically, one for RNA, two for DNA—and assembled into chains of base-pairs selected from the five primary, or canonical, nucleobases, which are: adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil; note, thymine occurs only in DNA and uracil only in RNA." } ]

This inner chemical environment is capable of carrying out the most basic functions of life: building cells and tissues, producing energy, transporting solutes into and outside cells, multiplying, communicating with other cells, and so on. Some cells and tissues are also capable of carrying out less common tasks, such as motion and detoxification of foreign elements. What is it which makes the inner environment of living cells and tissues so different than the one outside? A comparison between the two environments shows that both are built from the same chemical elements (Figure 1): Figure 1However, a closer look reveals that living organisms are enriched with the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). Animate matter contains large quantities of oxygen and minerals like silicon, but only minute quantities of carbon and hydrogen.

Probably not. Learn about the importance of nucleic acids in life, genetics, and diseases What are Nucleic Acids? Nucleic acids are a group of biomolecules present only in the cell’s nucleus. These nucleic acids are long polymers made of monomeric units called nucleotides: C (cytosine), A (adenine), G (guanine), T (thymine), and U (uracil). There are two types of nucleic acids within the cells: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Both of them have vital functions within the cells. The DNA molecule is made of two strands of nucleotides (C, A, G, T) polymer chains coiled together into a double-helix pattern. The double helix is stabilized by the hydrogen bonds that forms between the nucleotides bases, as determined by their chemical affinity: adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine. The RNA molecule is a single strand polymer composed of the nucleotides C, A, G, and U. However, the RNA molecule can fold itself and acquire secondary structures that are very important to carry out its functions Importance of Nucleic Acids The DNA is the biological molecule that stores all the genetic information of the cell (in some viruses RNA may function as the molecule that stores the genetic information)." }, { "docid": "D2129253#0", "title": "http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Macromolecular_chemistry\nMacromolecular chemistry", "text": "\"navigation search Main Article Talk Related Articles [?] Bibliography [?] External Links [?] Citable Version [? ] This editable Main Article has an approved citable version (see its Citable Version subpage ).

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. In this lesson, you will learn about the different types of nucleotides, their structure, and how the change in a single nucleotide can affect the survival of an organism. Definition of Nucleotides Human DNA is made up of something called nucleotides. Nucleotides are basically the sub-unit measurement of DNA and are lined up in pairs. There are about 3 billion of these nucleotide pairs, also called base pairs. This means each sperm and egg contains roughly six billion individual nucleotides in their nucleus (organized into compact DNA molecules to make it easier to store and move them around). So what are nucleotides for, exactly? They act as a special language, one used to 'write the recipes' for chemicals your body makes, specifically proteins.

DNA is a long polymer made from repeating units called nucleotides. [ 1] [2] The DNA chain is 22 to 26 Ångströms wide (2.2 to 2.6 nanometres ), and one nucleotide unit is 3.3 Ångstroms (0.33 nanometres) long. [ 3] Although each individual repeating unit is very small, DNA polymers can be enormous molecules containing millions of nucleotides. For instance, the largest human chromosome, chromosome number 1, is 220 million base pairs long. [ 4]In living organisms, DNA does not usually exist as a single molecule, but instead as a tightly-associated pair of molecules. [ 5] [6] These two long strands entwine like vines, in the shape of a double helix. The nucleotide repeats contain both the segment of the backbone of the molecule, which holds the chain together, and a base, which interacts with the other DNA strand in the helix. In general, a base linked to a sugar is called a nucleoside and a base linked to a sugar and one or more phosphate groups is called a nucleotide.

Kathy Crysel, CRNA Winston Salem, NC, 27157Dear Ms. Crysel,Thank you for your question regarding the hazards of using ultraviolet radiation in operating rooms to control infections. The development of virulent bacteria that are resistant to multiple antimicrobial treatments is occurring around the world 1 and one of the proposed solutions to minimize wound infections is exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) appears to be effective in reducing the risk of surgical site infection 2-4 including MRSA. The routine use of ultraviolet radiation in orthopedic operating rooms is well known and has been recently investigated by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. 5Ultraviolet radiation can be divided into 3 regions of the ultraviolet spectra as illustrated in Table 1. The most common wavelength in operating rooms because of its germicidal effects is 254 nanometers, in the UV-C range, which is also invisible to humans. All of the UV wavelengths can be responsible for health risks dependent upon the intensity and wavelength of the source, distance from the source, and length of exposure to the source." }, { "docid": "D1199686#0", "title": "http://www.pd.infn.it/~busetto/bnct.htm\nBoron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)", "text": "Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)What is Boron Neutron Capture Therapy? Dosimetry for BNCTA TEPC for BNCTMicrodosimetric measurements What is Boron Neutron Capture Therapy? An ideal therapy for cancer would be one whereby all tumour cells were selectively destroyed without damaging normal tissue. Most of the cancer cells should be destroyed for cure, either by treatment itself or with the help from the body’s immune system, otherwise the danger exists that the tumour may re-establish itself. Although today’s standard treatments - surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy - have successfully cured many kinds of cancers, there are still many treatments failures. The BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) is a cancer treatment technique, which could be the best one for those skin tumours (melanomas), which are nowadays resistant to ordinary therapy. It makes use of thermal or epithermal neutrons to irradiate tumours previously loaded with the stable isotope. Thermal neutron absorption on the nucleus gives rise to the production of two particles, and, whose ranges in tissue (~9 m m and ~5m m respectively) are as short as the diameter of a cell nucleus and whose LET (Linear Energy Transfer) values are largely high. Because of such short ranges, all the energy is released inside the tumour cell, which is killed with high probability because of the high LET values, while the neighbouring cells are not damaged. Dosimetry for BNCTAmong the most challenging aspects of this therapeutic technique is the ability to adequately determine the absorbed dose to the patient and to predict its relative biological effectiveness (RBE)." }, { "docid": "D905721#0", "title": "http://www.npl.co.uk/science-technology/radiation-dosimetry/research/calorimetry\nCalorimetry", "text": "Graphite calorimeters are the primary standards for absorbed dose at NPL. Cutaway showing the internal structure of the new electron/photon and proton therapy-level absorbed dose calorimeters Radiotherapy is one of the two most effective treatments for cancer. The success of radiotherapy in curing cancer depends critically on accurate targeting and delivery of the correct radiation dose. If the dose delivered to a patient is too low then cancerous cells may survive leading to a recurrence of the cancer. If the dose delivered is too high then surrounding healthy tissue is more likely to be damaged. For example, optimal treatment of some head and neck tumours requires that the dose delivered should be within only a few percent of that prescribed. Uncertainty in patient positioning means that it is crucial for all other errors to be as small as is possible. Accurate dosimetry is essential to maintain and improve patient survival rates. The fundamental technique for measuring absorbed dose is through the heating effect of the radiation on the absorber. Measurement of that effect through calorimetry has been for many years the basis of the UK primary standards for calibration of absorbed dose measurements for high-energy photon and high-energy electron beam treatments, and now calorimetry will also be at the foundation of dosimetry for HDR brachytherapy calibrations and for high-energy proton and light ion beams." }, { "docid": "D304126#0", "title": "http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/dosimetry\nDosimetry", "text": "Dosimetry Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia.

General Mills’ introduction of Cheerios sporting the label “Not Made With Genetically Modified Ingredients” is a mere marketing ploy and has nothing to do with health or nutrition. Let’s start the dissection of this blatant attempt to capitalize on the anti-GMO paranoia by looking at the main ingredient in Cheerios, namely oats. Samuel Johnson, the 18 th century writer who compiled the first authoritative dictionary of the English language whimsically defined oats as the grain “eaten by people in Scotland, but fit only for horses in England.” A clever Scot supposedly retorted “that’s why England has such good horses, and Scotland has such fine men!”Modern science, as it turns out, supports the ancient Scotch penchant for oats. A form of soluble fiber in the grain known as beta glucan has been shown to reduce levels of cholesterol in the blood which in turn is expected to reduce the risk of heart disease. You couldn’t tell this by the Scottish experience, though. Scotland has one of the highest rates of heart disease in the world. It seems all that haggis, refined carbs and a lack of veggies is too great a challenge for Scotch oats to cope with. Actually you need at least 3 grams of beta glucan daily to have any effect on blood cholesterol and that translates to roughly a cup of cooked oat bran or a cup and a half of oatmeal." }, { "docid": "D1305428#0", "title": "http://www.davita.com/kidney-disease/diet-and-nutrition/diet-basics/hidden-phosphorus-in-your-diet-and-how-to-control-it/e/5322\nHidden Phosphorus in Your Diet and How to Control It", "text": "Print Page Email Page Hidden Phosphorus in Your Diet and How to Control It Written by Lisa Gutekunst, Da Vita® MSEd, RD, CSR, CDNAs someone with chronic kidney disease (CKD), you faithfully take your phosphate binders as directed by your doctor, and you no longer drink milk, add cheese to your burgers or indulge in chocolate or chili. But still you see your phosphorus levels higher than you or your healthcare team wants them. Frustrated, you wonder what you’re doing wrong. The reason behind your high phosphorus may be due to hidden sources of dietary phosphorus. Hidden phosphorus and the food industry The food industry is adding more phosphate additives to foods that are traditionally considered low-phosphorus foods. The following are a few foods and beverages that now contain hidden phosphorus: Flavored waters Iced teas Sodas and other bottled beverages Enhanced meat and chicken products Breakfast (cereal) bars Nondairy creamers Bottled coffee beverages The number of products containing these additives grows weekly. This makes it virtually impossible for dietitians and those with CKD to know what’s “safe” and what should be limited.

Blood tests to look for anemia, thyroid disorders, and to measure levels of specific nutrients (such as vitamins and minerals) are usually used. Diagnosis using contrast X-rays of the gastrointestinal tract may be carried out to test for underlying digestive disorders. If the deficiency is severe, the individual will be admitted to a hospital where nutrients will be administered using a tube passed through the nose into the stomach (G-tube) or intravenously (IV) directly into the bloodstream. Changing the diet will resolve the problem if poor eating habits are the cause. Each individual will have specific nutrient (vitamin and mineral) deficiencies, so it is important for a doctor to determine which nutrient deficiency is present. A sample of blood will generally be taken in a clinic or hospital and analyzed for vitamin and mineral status. In some cases, such as Crohn's disease (a chronic, episodic, inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by affecting the entire wall of the involved bowel or intestines) or gastric bypass, long-term vitamin and mineral supplementation will be required. These conditions cause changes in the absorption of nutrients and can cause long-term vitamin and mineral deficiencies. If medications are causing nutrient depletion, supplementation with multivitamin therapy or the depleted nutrient, such as coenzyme Q10 (with certain cholesterol-lowering medications called HMG-Co A reductase inhibitors), is recommended by healthcare providers." }, { "docid": "D208026#0", "title": "http://www.muslimconsumergroup.com/halal-haram-mushbooh_ingredients.html?panna=2\nHalal-Haram-Mushbooh Ingredients", "text": "Halal Status Ingredient Category Description Cultured Wheat Flour Grain and plant based ingredients Cultured wheat Flour is made by adding bacteria to wheat flour for non alcoholic fermentation to produce organic acids such as lactic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid and propionic acid to lower the ph of the wheat flour.

It is found in nature in several allotropic forms, and is an essential element for the life of organisms. There are several forms of phosphorous, called white, red and black phosphorous, although the their colours are more likely to be slightly different. White phosphorous is the one manufactured industrial; it glows in the dark, is spontaneously flammable when exposed to air and is deadly poison. Red phosphorous can vary in colour from orange to purple, due to slight variations in its chemical structure. The third form, black phosphorous, is made under high pressure, looks like graphite and, like graphite, has the ability to conduct electricity. Applications Concentrated phosphoric acids are used in fertilizers for agriculture and farm production.

With an open mind, and with grace offered to any who may see it differently, the purpose of this study share the reasons why I use \"\"Yahushua. \"\" I'm not one that believes that you need to pronounce the Messiah's name exactly like I do in order to be saved. However, the issue of the Messiah's name was an important issue among the first century believers in Messiah. To demonstrate this, consider the following scriptures: Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, \"\"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yahushua Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, \"\"Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Yahushua Messiah of Nazareth, rise up and walk. \"\" Acts 3:16 \"\"And His name , through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which [comes] through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. Acts 4:7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, \"\"By what power or by what name have you done this? \"\"" }, { "docid": "D3233903#0", "title": "http://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/969857/made-in-america-the-truth-about-chinese-food\nMade in America: The truth about Chinese food", "text": "\"FOOD & RECIPES / Cooking & Entertaining NEXT STORYMade in America: The truth about Chinese food Sep 06, 2012by Katherine Martinelli Print Are your favorite dishes authentic?

Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email Kaysh Shinn As new parents, you might be surprised at how much you think, talk, and worry about poop. When a baby is pooping regularly, it usually means that all her pipes are in working order and that she's getting enough to eat and disposing of the rest. So it's understandable that the absence of -- or noticeable change in consistency in -- poop can stress parents out. And because food is largely to blame when it comes to constipation, let's take a closer look at your baby's diet. The Just-Liquid Months For starters, constipation in newborns is fairly uncommon. Babies are on an all-liquid diet, so their food is more easily absorbed and digested, says Jennifer Shu, M. D., an Atlanta-based pediatrician and coauthor of Food Fights: Winning The Nutritional Challenges of Parenthood Armed with Insight, Humor, and A Bottle of Ketchup. On average, babies 0 to 4 months old poop 3 to 4 times a day. But rather than frequency, the most important thing to watch for is that it's soft. If an infant's poop is hard, that's a sign that it's staying in there longer than we want it to be, Dr. Shu says." }, { "docid": "D1549588#0", "title": "http://www.thekeep.org/~kunoichi/kunoichi/themestream/shu.html\nShu, Holder of the Sky, God of the Air, Wind, Sunlight and Protection", "text": "\"Shu, Holder of the Sky, God of the Air, Wind, Sunlight and Protectionby Caroline Seawright January 14, 2002 Updated: February 21, 20130 Comments ( )Shu (Su) was the god of dry air, wind and the atmosphere. He was also related to the sun, possibly as an aspect of sunlight. He was the son of the creator god, father of the twin sky and the earth deities and the one who held the sky off of the earth. He was one of the gods who protected Ra on his journey through the underworld, using magic spells to ward off Ra's enemy, the water snake-demon Apep. As with other protector gods, he had a darker side - he was also a god of punishment in the land of the dead, leading executioners and torturers to kill off the corrupt souls. His name might be derived from the word for dryness - shu, the root of words such as 'dry', 'parched', 'withered', 'sunlight' and 'empty'. His name could also mean 'He who Rises Up'. He was generally depicted as a man wearing an ostrich feather headdress, holding a sceptre and the ankh sign of life. Sometimes he was shown wearing the sun disk on his head, linking him to the sun. Occasionally, when shown with his sister-wife Tefnut, he is shown in lion form and the two were known as the \"\"twin lion gods\"\"." }, { "docid": "D2330563#0", "title": "https://foursquare.com/v/gum-how-kitchen/4b9444d9f964a5202d7234e3/menu\nGum How Kitchen", "text": "\"Gum How Kitchen Chinese Restaurant $ $$$Port Washington Save Share Tips 4 Photos 5Menu7.0 / 10 15ratings Menu Main Menu 19Main Menu Dieter's Special (dishes are steamed, sauce on the side w. brown rice or white rice)Steamed Chicken with Broccoli 8.25Steamed Shrimp W.

This chileman's guide aims to answer some of these questions as well as providing some advice on how to avoid 'Hunan hand', 'Jalapeno eye' and tackle the burn! But first let me start with some of my favourite quotes: \"\"Pure capsaicin is so powerful that chemists who handle the crystalline powder must work in a filtered \"\"tox room\"\" in full body protection.

The dish is seasoned with minced ginger and garlic, scallions, soy sauce, and rice cooking wine (usually huangjiu ). American Chinese [ edit]In the United States, the dish seems to have appeared in Chinese restaurants in New York City and Washington, D. C., in approximately 1966, receiving mention in a New York Times guide to Washington, D. C., restaurants published in that year. [ 3] One of the first restaurants in Manhattan to serve the dish was Pearl's, one of the best known New York City Chinese restaurants to serve non- Cantonese food in the 1960s. [ 4] A 1967 article in The New York Times states that another of the first restaurateurs to serve the dish in Manhattan was Emily Kwoh, the owner of the Mandarin House, Mandarin East, and Great Shanghai restaurants.

Unlike wine, in which alcohol is produced by fermenting sugar that is naturally present in fruit, typically grapes, sake is produced by a brewing process more akin to that of beer, where starch is converted into sugars which ferment into alcohol. The brewing process for sake differs from the process for beer in that, for beer, the conversion from starch to sugar and from sugar to alcohol occurs in two distinct steps. Like other rice wines, when sake is brewed, these conversions occur simultaneously. Furthermore, the alcohol content differs between sake, wine, and beer. Wine generally contains 9–16% ABV, [3] while most beer contains 3–9%, and undiluted sake contains 18–20% (although this is often lowered to about 15% by diluting with water prior to bottling). In the Japanese language, the word \"\" sake \"\" ( 酒, \"\"liquor\"\", also pronounced shu) can refer to any alcoholic drink, while the beverage called \"\"sake\"\" in English is usually termed nihonshu ( 日本酒, \"\"Japanese liquor\"\")." } ]

Superstitions are prevalent in Vietnam, and the pantyhose are Dobbins’s good luck charm. With the pantyhose around his neck, Dobbins survives tripping over a land mine, and a week later he survives a firefight. In October, Dobbins’s girlfriend dumps him. Despite the pain of the rejection, he ties the pantyhose around his neck, remarking that the magic hasn’t been lost. Analysis“Stockings” and “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong” are thematically opposed in their treatment of the relationship between soldiers and women. While “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong” challenges the idea that manifestations of femininity serve as comforting reminders of home, “Stockings” enforces it. The story affirms Henry Dobbins’s notion that his girlfriend’s stockings, which he ties around his neck, keep him from harm. At the same time, however, it emphasizes that this tactic is, in the end, nothing but superstition. Dobbins originally rationalizes wearing the stockings because their smell and feel remind him of his girlfriend and of a safer world away from Vietnam." } ]

Although every member of the Alpha Company experiences fear at some point, showing fear will only reveal vulnerability to both the enemy and sometimes cruel fellow soldiers.

Published in 1990 to vast critical acclaim and written with the help of a National Endowment for the Arts creative writing fellowship, The Things They Carried, a novel about his experiences in that war, has sold well over two million copies worldwide and was a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. More recently, the book was included among Amazon.com’s “List of 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime” and was credited as the inspiration for a National Veterans Art Museum exhibit of the same name in Chicago. The book is part memoir, part fiction, and O’Brien―the original master of truthiness―wishes you luck figuring out which is which. It’s a “marvel of storytelling which matters not only to the reader interested in Vietnam but to anyone interested in the craft of writing” ( The New York Times ). It’s “controlled and wild, deep and tough, perceptive and shrewd” ( Chicago Sun-Times) and based on how it continues to resonate with audiences, particularly among young readers, it undoubtedly “stands the test of time” ( PBS News Hour ). Introduction to the Book Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried (1990) is considered one of the finest books about the Vietnam War. Far from a combat story of pride and glory, it is a compassionate tale of the American soldier, brimming with raw honesty and thoughtful reflection. The book's narrator follows a platoon of infantrymen through the jungles of Vietnam." }, { "docid": "D1670453#0", "title": "http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2252023/Today-presenter-Hoda-Kotbs-lawyer-beau-ended-relationship-did-want-marry.html\nHe dumped HER!

Has one of us just come to realize over some time that even though there is still a ”sense of love” or maybe sincere care and even good friendship so that we still get along very well, because the “Spark” is faded or gone, there is a lack of the main ingredient so that something just isn’t right about our love anymore?

Discuss the idea of carrying in O’Brien’s work. What things are carried, and by whom? The theme of carrying is an important one throughout the text, and the title story provides the most comprehensive examination of this idea. The dense and detailed lists of objects that the men carry may seem tedious or irrelevant at times, but by mentioning that in addition to weapons soldiers brought mundane things like candy, cigarettes, and letters from their loved ones, O’Brien emphasizes their humanity. And in specifying the exact weight of several of the items, including food, weapons, and gear, he gives us a very tangible idea of what it was like to struggle under such weight. But the soldiers carry more than just physical burdens—in many cases, they are weighed down by emotional baggage. Jimmy Cross thinks that he carried the idea of Martha so heavily, for example, that he caused Ted Lavender’s death. And because Ted Lavender carries so much anxiety—and tranquilizers and marijuana to slow him down and soothe him—he may not be paying attention while walking around, resulting in his being shot. The metaphor of carrying is important to O’Brien’s work as a whole and extends through the different stories in order to give weight to the idea that the things one carries—whether physical or emotional—enable us to navigate life’s inconsistencies." }, { "docid": "D1783524#0", "title": "http://ehealthforum.com/health/why-does-it-take-him-so-long-to-ejaculate-t382924.html\nWhy does it take him so long to ejaculate?", "text": "\"malocc January 25th, 2013I've been with my boyfriend for about 6 months now, and ever since the beginning it has taken him a very long time to get off.

For example: meristematic cells perform repeated cell divisions, phloem cells - conduct food material, sclerenchyma - mechanical, xylem - conduction of water and mineral salts and so on. Nevertheless, all these different types of cells are derived from the same embryonic cells. The development of various cell types from a single cell is determined and regulated by a process called differentiation, which in turn is controlled by differential concentrations of plant hormones. Added to this, organ differentiation is another fascinating aspect of development. All these processes are regulated by differential gene regulation in response to environmental stimulus and phytohormones. Cellular composition: All cells are made up of a semi viscous fluid called protoplasm, which is considered as the physical basis of life, for it controls all biochemical reactions of the cell.

Lysosomes, which are found in animal cells, are the cell’s “garbage disposal.” The digestive processes take place in these, and enzymes within them aid in the breakdown of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids, and worn-out organelles. Central vacuoles, which are found in plants, play a key role in regulating the cell’s concentration of water in changing environmental conditions. Vesicles and vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs that function in storage and transport. Other than the fact that vacuoles are somewhat larger than vesicles, there is a very subtle distinction between them: the membranes of vesicles can fuse with either the plasma membrane or other membrane systems within the cell. The membrane of a vacuole does not fuse with the membranes of other cellular components. Additionally, some agents within plant vacuoles, such as enzymes, break down macromolecules.

In architecture, this means that buildings should be constructed to support the activities that will be carried out inside them. For example, a skyscraper should be built with several elevator banks; a hospital should be built so that its emergency room is easily accessible. Our natural world also utilizes the principle of form following function, especially in cell biology, and this will become clear as we explore eukaryotic cells ( [link] ). Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have: 1) a membrane-bound nucleus; 2) numerous membrane-bound organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and others; and 3) several, rod-shaped chromosomes. Because a eukaryotic cell’s nucleus is surrounded by a membrane, it is often said to have a “true nucleus.” The word “organelle” means “little organ,” and, as already mentioned, organelles have specialized cellular functions, just as the organs of your body have specialized functions. At this point, it should be clear to you that eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure than prokaryotic cells. Organelles allow different functions to be compartmentalized in different areas of the cell." }, { "docid": "D285458#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysosome\nLysosome", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Cell biology The animal cell Components of a typical animal cell: Nucleolus Nucleus Ribosome (little dots)Vesicle Rough endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus (or \"\"Golgi body\"\")Cytoskeleton Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Mitochondrion Vacuole Cytosol (fluid that contains organelles, comprising the cytoplasm)Lysosome Centrosome Cell membrane A lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle found in nearly all animal cells. They are spherical vesicles that contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down many kinds of biomolecules. Put simply, a lysosome is a type of vesicle with specific composition, of both its membrane proteins, and proteins of its lumen. The lumen's p H (4.5–5.0) [1] is optimal for the enzymes involved in hydrolysis, analogous to the activity of the stomach. Besides degradation of polymers, the lysosome is involved in various cell processes, including secretion, plasma membrane repair, cell signaling, and energy metabolism. [ 2]The lysosomes also act as the waste disposal system of the cell by digesting unwanted materials in the cytoplasm, both from outside the cell and obsolete components inside the cell. Material from outside the cell is taken-up through endocytosis, while material from the inside of the cell is digested through autophagy. Their sizes can be very different—the biggest ones can be more than 10 times bigger than the smallest ones. [ 3] They were discovered and named by Belgian biologist Christian de Duve, who eventually received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1974. Lysosomes are known to contain more than 60 different enzymes.

Colour Guard of the 1st Naval Fusiliers of the French Navy at the 2008 Bastille Day Military Parade, Paris. In military organizations, the Colour Guard (or Color Guard) refers to a detachment of soldiers assigned to the protection of regimental colours. This duty is so prestigious that the colour is generally carried by a young officer ( Ensign ), while experienced non-commissioned officers ( Colour sergeants) are assigned to the protection of the flag. These NCOs, accompanied sometimes by warrant officers (as is the case in several countries), can be ceremonially armed with either sabres or rifles to protect the colour.

But when it comes to Gulf shrimp, that’s only the beginning of the story. Unlike Gulf craband oysters, each of which is harvested and processed prominently as only one species, Gulf shrimp come in different species—and they’re conveniently labeled by color. “Shrimp are thought of almost as a commodity,” said Chris Hastings, owner and executive chef at Birmingham’s Oven Bird and Hot and Hot Fish Club. “ But they each have their own characteristics and flavor profiles. I would challenge people to think of shrimp differently, not just as ‘all shrimp are created equal.’ Because they’re not. ”Why does it matter which color you’re getting? Well, it’s the same story as all Gulf seafood: it’s all about flavor.

Broadcloths are great for guys looking for as little texture as possible in their fabrics. They are generally a thinner, lighter fabric. Particularly, white broadcloth fabrics can be slightly transparent. Broadcloths generally wear the smoothest out of all weaves thanks to their lack of texture, but can also be the most prone to wrinkling.

But during the revolutionary brand change in the mid-1990s, in which the Kings replaced the familiar blue-and-red color scheme that had been a franchise staple since 1971, the team nearly opted for a burgundy, gold and black palate. In fact, Tom O’Grady, who was hired by Commissioner David Stern as the NBA’s first Creative Director in 1990 and orchestrated the creation of 20 of the 30 NBA teams’ re-branding initiatives, reveals he and Michael Mc Cullough, the Kings then-Vice President of Marketing, faced an arduous back-and-forth process in which the team rigorously sampled both purple and burgundy merchandise. “The Sacramento Kings were very close to having the (current) Cleveland Cavaliers colors of burgundy, gold and black,” says O’Grady. “ It was a toss-up for the team right until the end. ”In addition to facing an immediate problem with color sourcing – the NBA’s former clothing manufacturers, Starter and Champion, sent cardinal and maroon samples instead of burgundy – the fact the local San Francisco 49ers already had similar colors ultimately swayed the team towards purple. “The 49ers darkened their color scheme at the time, and I think (the Kings) felt, although it was a really cool color palate, it was going to be too much (like) the 49ers,” says O’Grady. “ ( They thought), ‘We’re doing this change, let’s just do something different here,’ and so the burgundy, gold and black went away. ”While purple was ideally suited for the Kings due to its royal heritage, part of the inspiration behind the new look also stemmed from the team’s affinity for the colors of one of Major League Baseball’s 1993 expansion teams. “The Kings liked the Colorado Rockies color scheme – their sales were very, very strong from the start,” says O’Grady." }, { "docid": "D2555211#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_color_represents_hero\nHow does Indiana Jones represent the romantic hero?", "text": "How does Indiana Jones represent the romantic hero?because he is always saving the girl What do the colors represent?

This is due to the cow having a sudden, dramatically increased demand for calcium to produce milk. In the newly calved cow, this sudden need for calcium comes as a bit of a shock for the body and it can take several days for the normal mechanisms required to regulate calcium levels to begin working efficiently . It is during this transition period that cows are prone to classical milk fever. Cows that are further into their lactation are better able to cope with the shortfall of calcium by absorbing it from their bones and also the mechanisms by which calcium is absorbed from the diet are working much more efficiently. What are the signs? : Cows can be affected by milk fever both clinically (with obvious signs) and subclinically (more subtle - often leads to other problems). The signs to watch out for include:-Subclinical; Retained cleansing, reduced appetite problems associated with reduced food intake ( LDA in particular). Remember cows don’t necessarily have to be recumbent to be suffering from low grade milk fever." } ]

Associated symptoms depend upon the cause of colitis and may includefever,chills,fatigue,dehydration,eye inflammation,joint swelling,canker sores,skin inflammation. Blood in the stool is never normal and medical care should be sought for evaluation of the cause. Depending upon the history and physical examination, further testing may be necessary to find the cause of colitis and may include blood tests ( complete blood count, electrolytes, kidney function and inflammatory marker tests), urine and stool samples, colonoscopy, and barium enema. Treatment of colitis depends upon the cause, and often is focused on symptom relief, supportive care, and maintaining adequate hydration and pain control.

John F. Smith, Extension Dairy Specialist, Kansas State University College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences New Mexico State University (Print Friendly PDF)Summary Calcium metabolism of close-up dry cows and fresh cows is critical for reducing incidence of metabolic disorders. Anionic salts fed to the close-up group can reduce the incidence of milk fever, displaced abomasum, and subclinical hypocalcemia in early postpartum dairy cattle. Dairies experiencing a high incidence of milk fever or displaced abomasum would likely benefit from use of anionic salts. In addition, dairies that feed high-potassium forages, such as alfalfa hay, to dry cows may benefit from supplementing with anionic salts. Anionic salts must be used with caution, however, because they are unpalatable and can reduce dry matter intake. They should only be fed to close-up dry cows. Controlled feeding, precise ration formulation using the DCAD concept, and monitoring of urine p H are necessary to achieve success using anionic salts. The most critical time in the life of a dairy cow is the first few days postpartum. The cow’s metabolism is under severe stress as she transitions to lactation. To meet requirements for milk production, her body has a high nutrient demand." }, { "docid": "D1621941#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/common-name-for-streptococcus-pyogenes\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Common Name For Streptococcus Pyogenes", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Common Name For Streptococcus Pyogenes Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Gurmukh Singh1 How does streptococcus pyogenes cause symptoms?

It can be acute or chronic, and the chronic type can be fatal. Sheep, goats, cattle and other livestock are most likely to carry the bacterium, but it has been found in many types of animals including fish, dogs, camels, and guinea pigs. Q fever can occur anywhere in the world. In 2014, 167 cases of Q fever were reported in the United States (U. S.). The infection is called Query fever because, when it was first identified, the cause was a mystery. The cause has since been identified, but use of the name has continued .

There are numerous causes of colitis including infection, inflammatory bowel disease ( Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis ), ischemic colitis, allergic reactions, and microscopic colitis. Symptoms of colitis depend upon the cause and may includeabdominal pain,cramping,diarrhea, with or without blood in the stool (one of the hallmark symptoms of colitis). Associated symptoms depend upon the cause of colitis and may includefever,chills,fatigue,dehydration,eye inflammation,joint swelling,canker sores,skin inflammation. Blood in the stool is never normal and medical care should be sought for evaluation of the cause. Depending upon the history and physical examination, further testing may be necessary to find the cause of colitis and may include blood tests ( complete blood count, electrolytes, kidney function and inflammatory marker tests), urine and stool samples, colonoscopy, and barium enema. Treatment of colitis depends upon the cause, and often is focused on symptom relief, supportive care, and maintaining adequate hydration and pain control. Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat infectious causes of colitis. Some bacterial infections that cause colitis resolve without any antibiotic treatment.

Q fever (Query fever) is an infectious disease that spreads from animals to humans. Q fever is caused by a microbe called Coxiella burnetii. This microbe can survive for months and even years in dust or soil. Animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats can carry the Q fever microbe in tissues involved in birth--the uterus, placenta, and birth fluids. Infected animals also release the microbe in milk and manure. People acquire the infection by inhaling infectious aerosols and contaminated dusts generated by animals or animal products.

Pucking is normal with bubs on formula. Sometimes their eyes are just a little bigger than their bellies and they have more milk than their stomachs can handle so up comes the excess. If he's happy and settled (to the degree we can expect from a new born) and not showing any signs of pain he is fine.

Sinders · 10 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's ratingthe problem with temperatures is that under the armpit, you have to add a degree for a true core temp, and rectally you have to minus a degree. That said I dont think your baby has a fever, if she did, at her age, there would be something significantly wrong and you would have alot of other symptoms. Also taking underarm temps is unreliable, b/c whatever side they have been laying on or snuggled against they are going to be warmer on that side. If they are even just snuggled in bed taking a nap you can get a wrong reading.

Milk Fever Milk fever, also known as parturient paresis, is low blood calcium. On average, 5-6% of cows will experience clinical milk fever. When the level of calcium in the blood gets too low (<5 mg/dl), nerve and muscle function is lost; the cow goes down and if untreated, can die. Milk fever is fairly easy to treat using intravenous calcium injection. Mild cases in which the cow is not down may be treated with oral calcium chloride or calcium propionate.

It is different from formula feeding in this regard. Generally, a breastfed baby will nurse every three hours, except in the evening, when they nurse more frequently to stock up for the night (known as \"\"cluster feeding\"\"). It will take some getting used to, but eventually, you will get a feel for how much your baby needs. What is the ideal breastfeeding schedule for an infant? The answer is to feed when your baby is hungry. This is known as demand feeding. Feeding on demand means that feeding is started based on hunger cues from the infant and stopped when the infant is satisfied. A demand feeding schedule allows your baby to control the frequency and duration of feeding. It also allows for thorough emptying of the breast, including the important hindmilk, which is high in fat and promotes rapid infant growth." } ]

Overview Achieving higher density development in areas without public water or sewer service presents special circumstances and unique challenges. Conventional septic systems require permeable soils, adequate depth to groundwater and numerous setbacks to lot lines, drinking water wells and wetlands. These physical and regulatory requirements can preclude the clustering of development. However, there are also a number of technological and regulatory opportunities to address these challenges. They include shared systems (multiple homes on one septic system), innovative and alternative septic systems, and small sewage treatment plants. Careful site planning using techniques such as Open Space Residential Design (OSRD) and Low-Impact Development (LID) can identify and set aside optimal locations for wastewater facilities and drinking water sources, thereby allowing the remaining land to be developed at a higher density. The Problem Many of the smart growth techniques, including those that apply to rural areas, rely upon concentrating growth in higher-density configurations, such as a village or town center, and concurrently relieving development pressures in outlying areas that deserve preservation. Challenges to achieving this type of development pattern in rural areas often include wastewater treatment and disposal constraints, especially for on-site systems.

Additional use of a network operating center (NOC) allows for 24/7 monitoring and control of an unlimited number of equipment, systems, and buildings by personnel with the proper training and skill set. Utilizing open-protocol such as Lon Works® and BACnet® allows the building systems to employ the best sensors and technology on the market while not being tied to a particular vendor or manufacturer. Benefits and Capabilities Tenant attraction and retention. A significant benefit to the building owner is the expectation that smart buildings can demand above-market rents, have lower vacancy rates, and can reduce turnover through higher customer service, added technologies, and increased efficiencies. Reduced operating costs. Smart buildings are usually highly efficient buildings where operating costs are significantly lower than comparable buildings." }, { "docid": "D2352942#0", "title": "http://www.larsentoubro.com/\n.", "text": "Unlocking Energy End-to-end solutions for the Global Oil & Gas Industry More Infrastructure Building smart & sustainable Infrastructure More2 / 3Businesses L&T Realty The real estate arm of L&T extends the Company’s values of trust, professionalism and commitment to the domain of commercial and residential properties.

To maintain Google’s competitive advantage, the company has developed an infrastructure that guarantees a fast and efficient search engine, as well as branching out their efforts in other directions beyond search. Let’s first examine the speed of an average Google search. Any random search takes between 0.06 to 0.12 seconds (Gigaom). Google’s competitive edge is traced to the fact that they’ve built their own infrastructure of servers, storage systems, bandwidth and hardware that supports the fastest search on the web. While the cost for the company is high, as Google spends billions of dollars in development and upkeep, this competitive strategy builds a formidable wall for other general search engines, such as Bing (formerly MSN Search) which is merging with Yahoo !. At the same time, the cost of building the advanced infrastructure is an investment for Google to ensure that the cost of conducting a query keeps going down. Google’s advantage over competitors is its rapid speed that keeps users coming back. The results of the search may vary, but because of the incredible speed, a user can search another key phrase with minimal sacrifice and therefore be less inclined to switch to a competitor. Not only does Google provide a fast search, but the company also employs tools and services such as the Google toolbar, Google Maps, Google Earth and Google News." }, { "docid": "D209991#0", "title": "https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/9732886/difference-between-layer-3-switch-and-router\nNetwork Infrastructure", "text": "Directory Network Infrastructure WAN, Routing and Switching LAN, Switching and Routing Network Management Remote Access Optical Networking Getting Started with LANs IPv6 Integration and Transition EEM Scripting Other Subjects Security VPNSecurity Management Firewalling Intrusion Prevention Systems/IDSAAA, Identity and NACPhysical Security MARSEmail Security Web Security Other Subjects Service Providers Metro MPLSVoice Over IPXR OS and Platforms Video Other Subjects Collaboration, Voice and Video IP Telephony Video Over IPJabber Clients Unified Communications Applications Tele Presence Digital Media System Contact Center Conferencing UC Migrations Other Subjects Wireless - Mobility Security and Network Management Wireless IP Voice and Video Getting Started with Wireless WLCCAOther Subjects Services Cisco Service Grid Compliance Management and Configuration Service Connected Analytics Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) Support Data Virtualization Software (CIS)Partner Support Service Smart Call Home Smart Care Smart Net Total Care Operations Exchange Mobile Applications Cisco Proximity Cisco Technical Support Online Tools and Resources Cisco Bug Discussions Technical Documentation Ideas Cisco CLI Analyzer Support Community Help Data Center Application Centric Infrastructure Application Networking Intelligent Automation Server Networking Storage Networking Unified Computing Wide Area Application Services (WAAS)Other Subjects Small Business Network Storage Routers Security Surveillance Switches Voice and Conferencing Wireless Solutions and Architectures Borderless Networks Collaboration Cisco User Groups Seattle Cisco User Group (SEACUG)Silicon Valley Cisco User Group (SVCUG)Southern California Cisco User Group (SCCUG)Cisco Certifications Cisco.com Idea Center Cisco Cafe All Communities Expert Corner Top Contributors Leaderboards Cisco Live!

Molecular biology was born in the laboratories of microbiologists studying viruses and bacteria. Microbes such as E. coli and its viruses are called model systems because of their use in studies that reveal broad biological principles. Microbiologists provided most of the evidence that genes are made of DNA, and they worked out most of the major steps in DNA replication, transcription, and translation. Techniques enabling scientists to manipulate genes and transfer them from one organism to another were developed in microbes. In addition, viruses and bacteria have unique genetic features with implications for understanding the diseases that they cause. Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, with cells that are much smaller and more simply organized than those of eukaryotes, such as plants and animals. Viruses are smaller and simpler still, lacking the structure and metabolic machinery of cells. Most viruses are little more than aggregates of nucleic acids and protein—genes in a protein coat.

RNA interference ( RNAi) is a biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation, by neutralizing targeted m RNA molecules. Historically, RNA interference was known by other names, including co-suppression, post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), and quelling. The detailed study of each of these seemingly different techniques, elucidated that the identity of these phenomena were all actually RNAi. Andrew Fire and Craig C. Mello shared the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on RNA interference in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans, which they published in 1998. Since the discovery of RNAi and its regulatory potentials, it has become evident that RNAi has immense potential in suppression of desired genes. RNAi is now known as precise, efficient, stable and better than antisense technology for gene suppression. [ 1] However, antisense RNA produced intracellularly by an expression vector may be developed and find utility as novel therapeutic agents. [ 2]Two types of small ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules – micro RNA (mi RNA) and small interfering RNA ( si RNA ) – are central to RNA interference. RNAs are the direct products of genes, and these small RNAs can bind to other specific messenger RNA (m RNA) molecules and either increase or decrease their activity, for example by preventing an m RNA from being translated into a protein." }, { "docid": "D875602#0", "title": "https://msu.edu/course/mmg/569/lifecycles.htm\n.", "text": "\"Lectures 3-4: Viral Life Cycles in Cells As discussed in lecture 1, there is a period between infection of a cell and the appearance of new infectious virus that is known as the latent period.

Because neutrally charged objects do not naturally clump around each other, the virus must find a way to move even near a host cell. It does this by attachment -- or adsorption --- onto a susceptible cell; a cell which holds a receptor that the virus can bind to. The receptors on the viral envelope effectively become connected to complementary receptors on the cell membrane. This attachment causes the two membranes to remain in mutual proximity, favoring further interactions between surface proteins.

While these microbes may have some characteristics in common, they are also very different. Bacteria are typically much larger than viruses and can be viewed under a light microscope. Viruses are about 1,000 times smaller than bacteria and are visible under an electron microscope. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that reproduce asexually independently of other organisms. Viruses require the aid of a living cell in order to reproduce. Where Are They Found?

Newer monoclonal antibodies Monoclonal antibodies (m Abs) have already become an important part of the treatment for many cancers. As researchers have learned more about what makes cancer cells different from normal cells, they have developed m Abs to exploit these differences. They have also developed newer forms of m Abs, attaching them to drugs or other substances to make them more powerful. Researchers are also studying other ways of making monoclonal antibodies safer and more effective.

B cells are responsibile for humoral immunity that is mediated by circulating antibodies. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity, in which they kill target cells directly or stimulate the activity of other leukocytes (p. 252)Antigens Antigens are substances that react with molecules of the immune system (antibodies, receptors on B and T cells).

Which DNA viruses have been linked to cancer? Why are DNA viruses more likely to cause cancer than RNA viruses? Why is there a danger in using live attenuated DNA viruses for vaccines? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: First of all, a DNA virus is a virus in which the nucleic acid is double or single stranded DNA (rather than RNA). Major groups of double stranded DNA viruses are papovaviruses, adenoviruses, herpes viruses, large bacteriophages and poxviruses: of single stranded, parvoviruses and coliphages _X174 and M13. Examples of DNA viruses are the JC virus, which has been found in malignant colon tumors and may be linked to colon cancer. There is also, the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a DNA virus, which causes transformation in cells through interfering with tumor suppressor proteins. Interfering with the action of the particular suppressor protein allows a cell infected with the virus to move into a different stage of the cell cycle allowing the virus genome to be replicated forcing the cell into the S phase of the cell cycle could cause the cell to become transformed. Another example is human herpes virus-8, which is associated with Kaposi’s sarcoma, a type of skin cancer." } ]

But agents are still spending way too much money on new lead sources, rather than investing in their existing clients. Simply put, if most of your business is coming from your past clients and it costs you six to seven times more to acquire a new customer than it does to retain an existing one, then you should focus your efforts on marketing to your past clients.1) Be Mobile and Responsive I’ve stressed that going mobile was important in terms of you posting to your social networks while on the go.

But there’s much more to social media than the top social media and media sharing networks. Look beyond those social media juggernauts and you’ll see that people are using many different types of social media to connect online for all kinds of reasons. In our quest to bring you the latest and best social media news from all corners of the internet, we’ve stumbled upon plenty of hyper-focused niche social networks for everything from jet setting and green living to knitting and all things manly. However, grouping social networks according to subject matter quickly gets overwhelming—and sometimes utterly distracting. ( Plus, Wikipedia’s already done it for us. ) And while there was once a time when you could simply categorize networks according to their functional capabilities (Twitter for short text content, You Tube for video, and so on), that time has passed. As more networks add rich features like livestreaming and augmented reality, the lines between their feature sets continue to blur and change faster than most people have time to read up on the changes. So instead of categorizing networks according to hyper-specific user interests or shifting technology features, we prefer to think like marketers and group networks into 10 general categories that focus on what people hope to accomplish by using them. Here’s our list of 10 types of social media and what they’re used for: Social networks —Connect with people Media sharing networks —Share photos, videos, and other media Discussion forums —Share news and ideas Bookmarking and content curation networks —Discover, save, and share new content Consumer review networks —Find and review businesses Blogging and publishing networks —Publish content online Interest-based networks —Share interests and hobbies Social shopping networks —Shop online Sharing economy networks —Trade goods and services Anonymous social networks —Communicate anonymously Knowing about these categories of social media and understanding why people use them can open up new ideas and channels for engaging with your audience more effectively—so let’s get started." }, { "docid": "D3460523#0", "title": "http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/just-explain-it/why-your-cable-bill-is-so-high-195950153.html\nWhy is cable TV so expensive?", "text": "U.

Yahoo Finance Yahoo Finance Just Explain It • May 16, 2014Most people only watch about 10 to 20 TV channels so why are we shelling out hundreds of dollars for hundreds of channels we’re not watching? With the cost for cable TV increasing at 4 times the rate of inflation, it’s no wonder consumers are fed up and dropping pay-TV altogether. In the last five years, five million TV subscribers cut the cord to rely solely on online platforms like Hulu Plus and Netflix . At a time when you can get premium content for less than $10 a month, is cable TV worth the price? Let’s take a look at the business of cable. Media companies like Disney and Fox charge cable providers like Comcast and Cablevision for the content they create. The cable providers, in turn, pass those costs on to you. The most expensive channels cost subscribers about $1.42 a month.

In Hinduism, Om (also spelled Aum) is a Hindu sacred sound that is considered the greatest of all mantras. The syllable Om is composed of the three sounds a-u-m (in Sanskrit, the vowels a and u combine to become o) and the symbol's threefold nature is central to its meaning. It represent several important triads: The three worlds - earth, atmosphere, and heaven The three major Hindu gods - Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva The three sacred Vedic scriptures - Rg, Yajur, and Sama Thus Om mystically embodies the essence of the entire universe. This meaning is further deepened by the Indian philosophical belief that God first created sound and the universe arose from it. As the most sacred sound, Om is the root of the universe and everything that exists and it continues to hold everything together. Om in Hindu culture The syllable is discussed in a number of the Upanishads, which are the texts of philosophical speculation, and it forms the entire subject matter of one, the Mandukya. AUM is a bow, the arrow is the self, And Brahman (Absolute Reality) is said to be the mark. ( Mandukya Upanishad) The essence of all beings is the earth. The essence of the earth is water." } ]

Introduction Aum Shinrikyo, which is also known as Aum and Aleph, is a Japanese cult that combines tenets from Buddhism, Hinduism, and is obsessed with the apocalypse. The group made headlines around the world in 1995 when members carried out a chemical attack on the Tokyo subway system. A nerve agent, sarin, was released onto train cars, killing twelve and causing an estimated six thousand people to seek medical attention, according to the U. S. State Department 2010 Country Report. Aum Shinrikyo is listed as a terrorist organization because of the 1995 attack and for previous attempts to carry out biological and chemical attacks. The group split into two factions in 2007 due to internal friction over attempts to moderate the cult’s religious beliefs and improve its public image. Despite years of inactivity, both groups remain under surveillance by Japanese authorities. Most of Aum’s current 1,500 members live in Japan while about three hundred reside in Russia, says the State Department. Investigation of the 1995 attack remained cold until 2012 when three remaining fugitives were tracked down and arrested, finally closing the chapter on the worst terrorist attack in Japan’s history. Doctrine of the Aum Shinrikyo At the center of the group’s belief is reverence for Shoko Asahara, Aum’s founder, who says that he is the first \"\"enlightened one\"\" since Buddha." }, { "docid": "D2382310#0", "title": "http://www.ancient-symbols.com/symbols-directory/om.html\nOm Symbol", "text": "Om Symbol This Sanskrit word is both a mystical symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, as well as an incantation intoned at the start or the end of a reading, mantra or prayer. Om or Aum is also said to represent the Brahman, or the impersonal Absolute of Hindusim, who is omnipotent, omnipresent and the source of all life. Just as God is to other religions, Brahman cannot be understood or perceived fully. This is way it is important for the symbol Ohm to be his manifest or representation. The Om symbol is composed of three distinct sounds: a, u and m. It should be pointed out that the number three is important in Hinduism, since it teaches that there are three worlds (earth, heaven and the atmosphere), three major gods (Brahma, Vishnu and Siva), and three Vedic scriptures: Rg, Yajur and Sama. Because of this, it is believed that Om contains the essence of life and the universe. It is also said that sound (the sacred sound Om) was created before the universe. The Mandukya Upanishad states that ‘Om is the one eternal syllable of which all that exists is but the development. The past, the present and the future are all included in this one sound, and all that exists beyond the three forms of time is also implied in it.’ Part of the Tibetan Jewelry collection by the artist David Weitzman Symbols Menu:» Gordian Knot » Flower of Life » Vesica Pisces » Merkaba » The Labyrinth » Hung » Sri Yantra » Yin Yang » Chinese Fu » Jerusalem Cross » Triple Moon » bindi » IK Onkar » Hammer Sickle » Khanda » Tree of Life » Rod of Asclepius » Shield of the Trinity » Genesa Crystal » Star of David » Lotus Flower » Nautilus Shell » Halo » Hand of Fatima » jiahu » World Triad » The Morning Star » Tau » Oshe Shango » Seal of Shamash » Camunian Rose » IHS Monogram » Alpha & Omega» Hunab Ku » Borromean Rings » Caduceus » Infinity » Ichthus » Hedjet » Sun Wheel » Fleur De Lis » Eye of God » Happy Human » Lauburu » Pentagram » Sacred Chao » Emerald Tablet of Thoth » Eye of Horus » Buddhi Leaf » Om » Ankh » Chalice » Triquetra » Pentacle » Maat » Ogham » Mandala » Theosophy » Rub el Hizb » Day Night Symbols » The Golden Bough » The Valknut » Kartika » Cross of Tau » Ouroboros » Khamsa» Uraues » Globus Cruciger » Holy Grail » Medicine Wheel » Menorah » Papal Cross » Quincunx » Red Cross » Tetractys » Tilaka » Taijitu » Vajra » Chai » Chi Rho » Dharmacakra » Bagua » Dragon » Heart » Eye of Providence » Golden Spiral » Labrys » Amulet » Sun Face » Faravahar » Thor's Hammer » Healer's Hand » Raven » Keys of St. Peter » Triskele » Ajna » Arsenic » three-legged frog » Phoenix - Bennu" }, { "docid": "D601088#0", "title": "https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Hinduism/Religious_Symbols_of_Hinduism\nHinduism/Religious Symbols of Hinduism", "text": "\"Hinduism/Religious Symbols of Hinduism< Hinduismnavigation search Contents [ hide ]1 The Aum Symbol2 The Swastika Symbol3 The Bindi Symbol4 The Sacred Thread The Aum Symbol [ edit]Aum Aum or Om (in Devanagari ॐ) is one of the most sacred symbols in Hinduism.

They are the end part of the Vedas and known collectively as Vedanta. In Sanskrit, which was the main language of communication among the elite groups in India for several centuries, the word Upanishad means sitting down near. While the ritual chants of the Vedas were uttered in public during the performance of the sacrificial ceremonies, the Upanishads were revealed in private only to a select few on need to know basis. The knowledge contained in the Upanishads is deemed higher knowledge as it deals with the knowledge of the self and the transcendental states of awareness, where as the knowledge contained in the Samhita part of the Vedas is considered the lower knowledge as it is used mainly for performing rituals to obtain material gains and personal favors from various divinities. The exact number of Upanishads is not clearly known. Most of them must have been lost due to secrecy and exclusivity associated with them and the limitations in organizing and preserving them. Presently there are said to be about 250 Upanishads, of which about ten or eleven are considered the most ancient, important and authoritative. From the earliest times, the Upanishads attracted the attention of scholars from various religions and schools of philosophy.

It depends on which tradition you follow. Tibetans for example call their circular sacred art Mandala which I would see as a Yantra but my background is based on Hinduism, Yoga, Vedanta and Tantra. The Sanskrit word Mandala has become more mainstream than Yantra for some reason here in the West. One can see all kinds of creations come forth out of the circle or mandala. Yet Yantras seem to have retained a certain mysticism because of its symbolism and usage in ritualistic worship. ' Sri Yantra', digital fine art, 12\"\"x12\"\", (C)2010 Ma Nithyananda Udaysree Yantras are part of the ancient Tantra Tradition having its roots in age-old teachings from India.

It is comprised of the Sanskrit letters that, together, make the phonetic sound that corresponds to the name of the symbol. All Hindu prayers begin with the Aum sound. It is a way of helping Hindus channel their inner spirituality in order to make contact with the gods. Its meaning is \"\"absolute,\"\" in reference to the Brahman from which all existence emerged. Although it has a negative connotation throughout much of the West because it was adopted as the symbol of the Nazis, the swastika is also a very important symbol in Hinduism. The swastika represents eternity to Hindus. It specifically relates to the Brahman as eternal. The padma, or lotus flower, is the Hindu symbol for freedom or un-attachment. Like Buddhists, Hindus believe that the path to eternal life requires one to let go of all things earthly." }, { "docid": "D3187122#0", "title": "http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/AUM\nAUM", "text": "AUMAlso found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Financial, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia .

This list is provided by The International Association of Cemetery Preservationists, Inc. and Dusty Smith for educational purposes in the field of gravestone studies. Symbolism in artwork, whether paintings or on gravestones, reflects the culture which created the work and can have multiple meanings. ( Note: I will also be enhancing this list with my own further research, which will be noted in a different color.) Be sure to be aware of and follow all local laws and statutes when visiting a cemetery, including applying for any necessary permits or permissions needed before making a gravestone rubbing. Laws and regulations can differ for national cemeteries as well, with stricter regulations in place at a veteran's cemetery, such as the one located in San Diego. Also, keep your safety in mind at all times to prevent any type of personal injury, such as a trip and fall due to uneven or soft ground. Keep these simple tips in mind and your cemetery excursions won't end with a call to a lawyer or a trip to the emergency room. This list is only a portion of such information that can be found in: “Voices from the Cities of the Dead: A Cemetery Reference Guide to Understanding Terminologies, Gravestone Art, Monuments, Abbreviations, Symbols & Icons” compiled & authored by Dusty Smith (with photographic contributions by Kourtnie James & Dusty Smith) © to Raven’s Loch Publishing House.

If you chant a mantra - preferably with a group of people - then you will soon relax and find a sense of peace. This is a biological process - it will even work if you chant something silly, like 'Coca Cola, Coca Cola'. However, the effect is far greater if you chant certain sounds that resonate in the body in a powerful way. And, of course, it helps if the sounds have a meaning. Others have already said more about the meaning of OM than I could. I would suggest, though, that none of that has any real meaning without the actual experience. Martin T · 9 years ago0 1 1 comment Aum or Om Om is not meant to be a word but rather an intonation and is of paramount importance in both Buddhism and Hinduism as this is meant to be a reflection of the omnipotent, omnipresence of God..

The compounding effect Compound interest formula Effective Interest rates The cost of delaying saving What is compound interest? Compound interest is interest paid on the initial principal as well as the accumulated interest on money you have borrowed or invested. Compound interest is like double chocolate topping for your savings. You earn interest on the money you deposit, and on the interest you have already earned - so you earn interest on interest. An online savings account paying monthly interest is an example of an account that earns compound interest. Compound interest is different from simple interest. With simple interest, interest is paid at the end of a specified term, although if the term is more than 12 months, interest may be paid annually." } ]

So the question is, \"\"Is not putting any cash down when buying your next car really a good idea? \"\" $0 Down Delivers - Drive a New Car Home Today!In the buyer's mind this sounds like a great deal.

Account #1: Annual Compounding A single deposit of $10,000 will earn interest at 8% per year and the interest will be deposited at the end of one year. Since the interest is compounded annually, the one-year period can be represented by n = 1 and the corresponding interest rate will be i = 8% per year: The formula shows that the present value of $10,000 will grow to the FV of $10,800 at the end of one year when interest of 8% is earned and the interest is added to the account only at the end of the year. Account #2: Semiannual Compounding In Account #2 the $10,000 deposit will earn interest at 8% per year, but the interest will be deposited at the end of each six-month period for one year. With semiannual compounding, the life of the investment is stated as n = 2 six-month periods. The interest rate per six-month period is i = 4% (8% annually divided by 2 six-month periods). The present value of $10,000 will grow to a future value of $10,816 (rounded) at the end of two semiannual periods when the 8% annual interest rate is compounded semiannually. Account #3: Quarterly Compounding In Account #3 the $10,000 deposit will earn interest at 8% per year, but the interest earned will be deposited at the end of each three-month period for one year. With quarterly compounding, the life of the investment is stated as n = 4 quarterly periods. The annual interest rate is restated to be the quarterly rate of i = 2% (8% per year divided by 4 three-month periods)." }, { "docid": "D1564486#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/40977573/real-estate-license-preparation-practice-test-flash-cards/\nReal Estate License Preparation Practice Test", "text": "\"150 terms joshua_thornton Real Estate License Preparation Practice Test An example of a final exam in California License Preparation test.

The answer to this question is more important than it seems at first glance. While you’re saving and investing money, there should be a target you’re hoping to reach, a certain portfolio size that confirms that you’re on target for your life after work. Until you establish such a goal, there’s no objective way to know if you’re adequately funding the kind of retirement you hope to have.

Introduction Regular measurement and documentation of physiological observations (i.e. clinical observations) are essential requirements for patient assessment and the recognition of clinical deterioration. The Victorian Children’s Tool for Observation and Response (Vi CTOR) charts are a set of 5 age-specific ‘track and trigger’ paediatric observation charts for use in Victorian hospitals, and are designed to assist in recognising and responding to clinical deterioration in children. An age appropriate Vi CTOR chart must be used for all inpatients at RCH. The charts are available for the following 5 age groups: less than 3 months, 3 to 12 months, 1 to 4 years, 5 to 11 years and 12 to 18 years. At RCH there are no adult charts and the 12-18 years chart should be used for young people older than 18 years. These ‘track and trigger’ charts mandate a response by the clinician once the patient’s observations reach a designated ‘zone’. Concerning changes in any one observation, or vital sign, are indicated by two coloured zones (Orange and Purple). If a child’s observation transgresses the Orange or Purple zone an escalation of care response is triggered.

K. study found that user error caused about 50 percent of alarm activations (Gill and Hemming 2003).†† The alarm industry suggests user error accounts for the largest portion of false calls, poor installation is on the decline, and faulty equipment is less of a problem given recent technological advances [International Association of Chiefs of Police n.d. ( a)]. These are not the sole causes. Bad weather, alarm monitoring-center mistakes, and alarm line errors also falsely signal a burglar’s presence. 8Commercial properties tend to have even higher false alarm rates than residential properties because more people tend to share responsibility for activating and deactivating the alarm systems, and the systems tend to be more complex. The rate of false alarms for commercial alarm users may be as much as three times higher than the rate of false alarms among residential alarm users. 9 Chronic false alarm activations are often due to inadequate employee training or inferior systems that have not been upgraded. The Effectiveness of Burglar Alarms Burglar alarms are intended to prevent burglary and to help police apprehend burglars, which, if done reliably and efficiently, benefits the public at large. If, however, burglar alarms are unreliable or inefficient, the drain on police resources from responding to them may outweigh their benefits.

The false positive was corrected in a later definitions update. The 5409 DAT files released on October 20, 2008 contained a bad signature that falsely detected a legit Windows Vista component as malware. Due to the faulty signatures, the Mc Afee products quarantined or completely deleted the conime.exe (Windows Vista console IME) file, which they generically detected as belonging to the PWS-Leg Mir Trojan. Mc Afee explains that the false positive resulted because that particular definition is designed to generically detect multiple Trojan-type malicious applications that steal passwords. “ This includes trojans written in multiple HLLs, including MSVC, MSVB and Delphi,” claims Mc Afee. The name of the PWS-Leg Mir.gen or PWS-Leg Mir.gen.b comes from the fact that in addition to stealing password from various locations on the system, the trojans which are detected under this signature also steal information for the Legend of Mir computer game if the game is installed on a compromised machine. Mc Afee fixed this problem by releasing the 5410 DAT files the next day, on October 21.

Some alarm systems serve a single purpose of burglary protection; combination systems provide both fire and intrusion protection. Intrusion alarm systems may also be combined with closed-circuit television surveillance (CCTV) systems to automatically record the activities of intruders, and may interface to access control systems for electrically locked doors.

One major limitation of current intrusion detection system (IDS) technologies is the requirement to filter false alarms lest the operator (system or security administrator) be overwhelmed with data. IDSes are classified in many different ways, including active and passive, network-based and host-based, and knowledge-based and behavior-based: Active and passive IDSAn active IDS (now more commonly known as an intrusion prevention system — IPS) is a system that’s configured to automatically block suspected attacks in progress without any intervention required by an operator. IPS has the advantage of providing real-time corrective action in response to an attack but has many disadvantages as well. An IPS must be placed in-line along a network boundary; thus, the IPS itself is susceptible to attack. Also, if false alarms and legitimate traffic haven’t been properly identified and filtered, authorized users and applications may be improperly denied access. Finally, the IPS itself may be used to effect a Denial of Service (Do S) attack by intentionally flooding the system with alarms that cause it to block connections until no connections or bandwidth are available. A passive IDS is a system that’s configured only to monitor and analyze network traffic activity and alert an operator to potential vulnerabilities and attacks. It isn’t capable of performing any protective or corrective functions on its own. The major advantages of passive IDSes are that these systems can be easily and rapidly deployed and are not normally susceptible to attack themselves." }, { "docid": "D625394#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/world-view/false-cause-effect-mean-logic-b09673187c7d75ce\n\"What does \"\"false cause and effect\"\" mean in logic?\"", "text": "\"World View Philosophy Logic & Reasoning Q: What does \"\"false cause and effect\"\" mean in logic?

Most commonly it is a statement that the phenomenon being studied produces no effect or makes no difference. An example of a null hypothesis is the statement \"\"This diet has no effect on people's weight.\"\" Usually, an experimenter frames a null hypothesis with the intent of rejecting it: that is, intending to run an experiment which produces data that shows that the phenomenon under study does make a difference. [ 2] In some cases there is a specific alternative hypothesis that is opposed to the null hypothesis, in other cases the alternative hypothesis is not explicitly stated, or is simply \"\"the null hypothesis is false\"\" – in either event, this is a binary judgment, but the interpretation differs and is a matter of significant dispute in statistics. A type I error (or error of the first kind) is the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis." }, { "docid": "D3302562#0", "title": "https://www.isixsigma.com/tools-templates/statistical-analysis/understanding-spc/\nUnderstanding Statistical Process Control [VIDEO] â With Eduardo Santiago", "text": "Understanding Statistical Process Control [VIDEO] – With Eduardo Santiago Michael Cyger 3Statistical process control (SPC), despite sounding esoteric, is a subject that every process owner and worker should – and can – understand, at least at a high level.

Home security systems can protect your home, but false alarms can result in fees and fines from cities and towns. Member Michael Braun of San Antonio says he learned a valuable lesson about using nonlocal alarm system providers when he hired Central Security Group for service last year. He says the company, which is based in Oklahoma and services the southern United States, refused to properly fix a malfunctioning motion detector battery that he says continually sent false alarms to his local police department. “The techs were incompetent and refused to listen to what I had to say,” he says. “ They would take weeks to return service calls. I received more than $100 in fines from San Antonio for false alarms. ”He says he ultimately asked highly rated Friendly Security in San Antonio to fix the problem. He says Friendly previously served as a third-party vendor for CSG and originally hooked up his system, so when his contract with CSG ended, he hired Friendly to service and monitor the system.

Philips, M. D. Ever since the two adversaries in the Cold War, the U. S. A. an the U. S. S. R., realized that their nuclear arsenals were sufficient to do disastrous damage to both countries at short notice, the leaders and the military commanders have thought about the possibility of a nuclear war starting without their intention or as a result of a false alarm. Increasingly elaborate accessories have been incorporated in nuclear weapons and their delivery systems to minimize the risk of unauthorized or accidental launch or detonation. A most innovative action was the establishment of the \"\"hot line\"\" between Washington and Moscow in 1963 to reduce the risk of misunderstanding between the supreme commanders. E-mail this Page Printer Friendly Despite all precautions, the possibility of an inadvertent war due to an unpredicted sequence of events remained as a deadly threat to both countries and to the world. That is the reason I am prepared to spend the rest of my life working for abolition of nuclear weapons. One way a war could start is a false alarm via one of the warning systems, followed by an increased level of nuclear forces readiness while the validity of the information was being checked. This action would be detected by the other side, and they would take appropriate action; detection of the response would tend to confirm the original false alarm; and so on to disaster. A similar sequence could result from an accidental nuclear explosion anywhere. The risk of such a sequence developing would be increased if it happened during a period of increased international tension. On the American side many \"\"false alarms\"\" and significant accidents have been listed , ranging from trivial to very serious, during the Cold War ." }, { "docid": "D441026#0", "title": "http://www.academia.edu/1701761/An_Overview_of_Intrusion_Detection_System_by_TigerHATS\nAn Overview of Intrusion Detection System by TigerHATS", "text": "An Overview of Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Presented by: Monzur Morshed Tiger HATS www.tigerhats.org Tiger HATS - Information is power The International Research group dedicated to Theories, Simulation and Modeling, New Approaches, Applications, Experiences, Development, Evaluations, Education, Human, Cultural and Industrial Technology Homepage: www.tigerhats.org Twitter: www.twitter.com/tigerhats An Overview of Intrusion Detection System Presented by Monzur Morshed (Tiger HATS) Overview Intrusion Detection System Types of IDS IDS Mechanism Responsibility of IDS IDS Terminology Difference between Firewall & IDS Why Do I Need An IDS, I Have A Firewall?

But ask anybody the difference between alloy steel and carbon steel and the chances are that you will draw a blank. Steel is an alloy that mostly contains iron. But its properties can be changed to suit specific requirements by adding certain other elements. This explains the differences between alloy steel and carbon steel. As the name indicates, alloy steel has other elements added to it whereas carbon steel is a kind of steel having higher carbon content. There are other differences also that will be talked about in this article. Alloy steel Alloy steel is a type of steel that has presence of certain other elements apart from iron and carbon. Commonly added elements in alloy steel are manganese, silicon, boron, chromium, vanadium and nickel. The quantity of these metals in alloy steel is primarily dependent upon the use of such steel." } ]

Carbon steel, the most widely used engineering material, accounts for approximately 85%, of the annual steel production worldwide. Despite its relatively limited corrosion resistance, carbon steel is used in large tonnages in marine applications, nuclear power and fossil fuel power plants, transportation, chemical processing, petroleum production and refining, pipelines, mining, construction and metal-processing equipment. The cost of metallic corrosion to the total economy must be measured in hundreds of millions of dollars (or euros) per year. Because carbon steels represent the largest single class of alloys in use, both in terms of tonnage and total cost, it is easy to understand that the corrosion of carbon steels is a problem of enormous practical importance. This is the reason for the existence of entire industries devoted to providing protective systems for irons and steel. Carbon steels are by their nature of limited alloy content, usually less than 2% by weight for total of additions. Unfortunately, these levels of addition do not generally produce any remarkable changes in general corrosion behavior. One possible exception to this statement would be weathering steels, in small additions of copper, chromium, nickel and phosphorus produce significant reduction in corrosion rate in certain environments." }, { "docid": "D797588#0", "title": "http://www.rocksandminerals.com/finder/H3.HTM\nRocks & Minerals O-Z", "text": "\"Obsidian Obsidian is volcanic glass.

Alloy and composite materials are both made up of a mixture of at least two components. Alloys and composites are also similar in that they exhibit different properties than the properties associated with the materials that are used to make them. However, if you look a little deeper, you will find that alloys and composites are actually very different from one another. Let’s take a closer look at what separates the two by analyzing the differences between alloys and composites. What Is an Alloy? An alloy is a mixture of at least two elements with one of those elements being a metal. Alloys can come in both solid and solution forms. Those alloys that only contain two elements are called binary alloys, while those that contain three elements are called ternary alloys. The amount of a particular element inside of an alloy is usually measured in mass with a percentage attached to it." }, { "docid": "D180066#0", "title": "https://www.britannica.com/science/geology\nGeology", "text": "Alternative Titles: geological science, geological sciences Geology, the fields of study concerned with the solid Earth.

Jonathan O'Neil An introduction to the geochemical and geophysical sciences logically begins with mineralogy, because Earth ’s rocks are composed of minerals—inorganic elements or compounds that have a fixed chemical composition and that are made up of regularly aligned rows of atoms. Today one of the principal concerns of mineralogy is the chemical analysis of the some 3,000 known minerals that are the chief constituents of the three different rock types: sedimentary (formed by diagenesis of sediments deposited by surface processes); igneous (crystallized from magmas either at depth or at the surface as lavas); and metamorphic (formed by a recrystallization process at temperatures and pressures in the Earth’s crust high enough to destabilize the parent sedimentary or igneous material). Geochemistry is the study of the composition of these different types of rocks. Pahoehoe lava flow, Kilauea volcano, Hawaii, November 1985. J. D. Griggs, U. S. Geological Survey During mountain building, rocks became highly deformed, and the primary objective of structural geology is to elucidate the mechanism of formation of the many types of structures (e.g., folds and faults) that arise from such deformation. The allied field of geophysics has several subdisciplines, which make use of different instrumental techniques. Seismology, for example, involves the exploration of the Earth’s deep structure through the detailed analysis of recordings of elastic waves generated by earthquakes and man-made explosions. Earthquake seismology has largely been responsible for defining the location of major plate boundaries and of the dip of subduction zones down to depths of about 700 kilometres at those boundaries." }, { "docid": "D2962477#0", "title": "http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-carbon-steel-and-vs-stainless-steel/\nDifference Between Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel", "text": "\"Difference Between Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel Posted on May 30, 2012 by Dunee Carbon Steel vs Stainless Steel Steel is an alloy made out of iron and carbon.

Though carbon is the main alloying material for iron some other elements like Tungsten, chromium, manganese can also be used for the purpose. Different types and amounts of alloying element used determine the hardness, ductility and tensile strength of steel. Alloying element is responsible for maintaining the crystal lattice structure of steel by preventing dislocation of iron atoms. Thus, it acts as the hardening agent in steel. The density of steel varies between 7,750 and 8,050 kg/m 3, and this is affected by the alloying constituents too. Heat treatment is a process which changes the mechanical properties of steels.

Alloys achieve better specific characteristics than their constituent parts, and steel is itself an alloy of iron. Alloy steels are steels in which additional elements have been added to the usual iron, carbon, manganese and silicon that is present in ordinary carbon steels in order to improve their properties and performance. This typically involves better strength and/or hardness and/or ductility and/or corrosion resistance. Several additional elements may be present, and sometimes the desired properties are achieved through a combination of alloying and heat treatment.

When he investigated this curious material, it contained about 13% chromium. This lead to the development of the stainless cutlery steels for which Sheffield became famous. Coincidentally development work was also being carried out in France at about the same time which culminated in the production of the first austenitic stainless steels. The worldwide consumption of stainless steel is increasing. There is growing demand from the building and construction industry where stainless steel is used for its attractive appearance, corrosion resistance, low maintenance and strength. Many other industries are adopting stainless steel for similar reasons as well as the fact that it does not need to be treated, coated or painted when put into service, despite the fact that it is more expensive than plain carbon steels. Evidence to support this comes from the household appliances manufacturers, where there are an ever increasing number of items, traditionally known as ‘whitegoods’, being manufactured in stainless steel. The Families Of Stainless Steels Stainless steels are iron-based alloys containing a minimum of about 10.5% chromium; this forms a protective self-healing oxide film, which is the reason why this group of steels has their characteristic \"\"stainlessness\"\" or corrosion resistance. The ability of the oxide layer to heal itself means that the steel is corrosion resistant, no matter how much of the surface is removed." }, { "docid": "D925505#0", "title": "http://www.lenntech.com/periodic/elements/ca.htm\nCalcium - Ca", "text": "Home Periodic table Elements Calcium Calcium - Ca Chemical properties of calcium - Health effects of calcium - Environmental effects of calcium Atomic number20Atomic mass40.08 g.mol -1Electronegativity according to Pauling1.0Mass volume1.6 g.cm -3 at 20°CMelting point840 °CBoiling point1484 °CVanderwaals radius0.197 nm Ionic radius0.099 nm Isotopes10Electronic configuration [ Ar ] 4s 2Energy of first ionisation589.6 k J.mol -1Energy of second ionisation1145 k J.mol -1Standard potential- 2.87 VDiscovered Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808Calcium The chemical element Calcium (Ca), atomic number 20, is the fifth element and the third most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. The metal is trimorphic, harder than sodium, but softer than aluminium. A well as beryllium and aluminium, and unlike the alkaline metals, it doesn’t cause skin-burns. It is less chemically reactive than alkaline metals and than the other alkaline-earth metals. Calcium ions solved in water form deposits in pipes and boilers and when the water is hard, that is, when it contains too much calcium or magnesium. This can be avoided with the water softeners. In the industry, metallic calcium is separated from the melted calcium chloride by electrolysis. This is obtained by treatment of carbonated mineral s with chlorhydric acid, or like a sub product of the carbonates Solvay process. In contact with air, calcium develops an oxide and nitride coating, which protects it from further corrosion.

The carbon percentage can vary depending on the grade, and mostly it is between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight. Though carbon is the main alloying material for iron some other elements like Tungsten, chromium, manganese can also be used for the purpose. Different types and amounts of alloying element used determine the hardness, ductility and tensile strength of steel. Alloying element is responsible for maintaining the crystal lattice structure of steel by preventing dislocation of iron atoms. Thus, it acts as the hardening agent in steel. The density of steel varies between 7,750 and 8,050 kg/m3, and this is affected by the alloying constituents too. Heat treatment is a process which changes the mechanical properties of steels. This will affect the ductility, hardness and electrical and thermal properties of steel.

Each pure chemical substance ( e.g., oxygen, iron, or water) has a characteristic set of properties that gives it its chemical identity. Iron, for example, is a common silver-white metal that melts at 1,535° C, is very malleable, and readily combines with oxygen to form the common substances hematite and magnetite.

Steel alloys are formed when melted iron has metallic or non-metallic elements added to create a new material. These alloys usually have new properties that differ from those of the constituent ingredients. A large number of different steels can be made using this process, depending on whether the steel needs to be hard, durable or pliable.

Update: Is it the the same as carne ranchera/carne asada? Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Flank steaks are cuts of beef that are harvested from the belly muscles of a cow. The exact cut of the flank steak may vary slightly, but in general the cut is elongated and something thin. Because cuts of meat of this type tend to be tougher than meat harvested from the rib or loin area, it is not unusual for any flank steak recipe to require the meat be marinated before the actual cooking process begins. At one time, flank steak was considered to be a poor man’s meat, since the cut was not considered as desirable as other types of steak. Over time, however, this has changed. The cost of flank steak has risen considerably since the middle of the 20th century and this cut has found its way into many restaurants as a premier choice for a meat dish.

Dean is the transferred use of an English surname, originating from one of two places. On the one hand, it’s believed to be derived from a place name, from the Olde English “denu” or Middle English “dene” meaning valley (signifying someone who dwelled in a valley). The second meaning is derived from an occupational name, coming from the Latin word “decanus” which gave us Dean, the name of an ecclesiastical supervisor or imperial officer. Now we know this name to be mainly used for one of the heads of faculty in a college or university. Dean is also sometimes considered the Anglicization of the Italian pet name “Dino” (for example Dean Martin was born Dino Paul Crocetti in 1917). Deanna could also be an embellished variation of Diana or Dana (see those names for more detail). What really brought the name Deanna to the attention of English speakers everywhere was a young Canadian actress/singer named Edna Mae Durbin who busted on to the Hollywood scene in 1936 when she was only 14 years old (a contemporary of the then-young Judy Garland). Edna Mae changed her screen name to Deanna Durbin just in time for American audiences to embrace it as a chosen name for their own daughters (Dean is an anagram of Edna). Deanna Durbin had a profound impact on the popularity of Deanna as a girl’s name for the 10 years she remained one of the highest paid actresses and biggest box office draws in Hollywood." }, { "docid": "D694333#0", "title": "http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=3913\n.", "text": "\"Lyrics Songfacts ®Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

Of the Newtons laws of motion the first one states that: (quoting Newton) ...every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net force acting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out) then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. If an external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?" } ]

One of these is the concept of heel-to-toe drop, sometimes also referred to as heel-toe offset, heel-toe differential, or heel-toe lift (you sometimes also see “forefoot” substituted for “toe”). So what exactly is heel-toe drop, and why are people interested in it as a shoe design element? Anatomy of a running shoe from New Balance Heel-Toe drop/offset/differential as defined by Brooks Running is “ the difference between (midsole + outsole) heel height and (midsole + outsole) forefoot height ” (see picture above from New Balance if you’re not clear what the midsole and outsole are). Thus, a drop of zero would mean that when seated in the shoe, the heel and ball of the forefoot would be at exactly the same height off of the ground. A drop of 12mm would mean that the heel sits 12mm higher off the ground than the forefoot. The importance of the HT drop value is that it’s thought that the lower it is, the easier it will be to land on your midfoot or forefoot while running. I’m not sure if there have been published studies confirming this, but my personal experience running in shoes of varying HT drop values, as well as a few of my informal laboratory attempts to correlate heel height in shoes with footstrike, seem to suggest that this relationship is likely real. You can check out these posts for more: Vibram Fivefingers and Barefoot Running: Does Removing Heel Cushion Change Footstrike?

D. & Mark Dombeck, Ph. D. Aug 7, 2009Not everyone who becomes manic experiences the full-blown syndrome of a manic episode. Hypomanic individuals show an expansive, energized and sometimes elated mood, with rapid thinking and pressured speaking in evidence. At a minimum (for the label hypomania to be appropriately applied), this expanded mood state must persist for at least four straight days. As is the case with manic episodes, hypomanic episodes are also characterized by the presence of characteristic symptoms. At least three of the following must be present (for at least four days) before the diagnosis of hypomanic episode is appropriate:an inflated or expansive and even grandiose (but not delusional; not completely out of touch with reality) sense of selfreduced sleep needs compared to normaltalks more than usualsubjective sensation of racing thoughts (often called a \"\"flight of ideas\"\")distraction or derailment of thought occurring significantly more often than normalan increase in goal-directed activity, or physical agitationa marked increase in participation in risky but pleasurable behavior (such as unprotected sex, gambling, unrestrained shopping, etc. ) You'll notice that these are essentially the same criteria that are applied to manic episodes. What is suggested (and what is intended) by this duplication of criteria is that what separates a hypomanic episode from a manic episode is mostly the degree of intensity (or energy) present in the behaviors the manic person emits (and not in their variety).

Inertia is the quality in matter (matter is anything you can touch) that lets it stay still if it is still, or keeps it moving if it is moving. If you want to overcome inertia, you have to apply a force. A force will make something that is still start to move, like flicking a wad of paper with a pencil will make it move.

In it he showed how his principle of universal gravitation provided an explanation both of falling bodies on the earth and of the motions of planets, comets, and other bodies in the heavens. In his Principia Newton explained a wide range of previously unrelated phenomena: the eccentric orbits of comets, the tides and their variations, the precession of the Earth's axis, and motion of the Moon as perturbed by the gravity of the Sun. This work made Newton an international leader in scientific research. The first part of the Principia is devoted to dynamics and includes Newton's three famous laws of motion; the second part to fluid motion and other topics; and the third part to the explanation of Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

Before the concept of a limit had been formally introduced and understood, it was not clear how to explain why calculus worked. In essence, Newton treated an infinitesimal as a positive number that was smaller, somehow, than any positive real number. In fact, it was the unease of mathematicians with such a nebulous idea that led them to develop the concept of the limit. The status of infinitesimals decreased further as a result of Richard Dedekind ’s definition of real numbers as “cuts.” A cut splits the real number line into two sets. If there exists a greatest element of one set or a least element of the other set, then the cut defines a rational number; otherwise the cut defines an irrational number. As a logical consequence of this definition, it follows that there is a rational number between zero and any nonzero number. Hence, infinitesimals do not exist among the real numbers. This does not prevent other mathematical objects from behaving like infinitesimals, and mathematical logicians of the 1920s and ’30s actually showed how such objects could be constructed." }, { "docid": "D1014327#0", "title": "http://www.behindthename.com/name/isaac\nGiven Name ISAAC", "text": "\"Contribute Add to List Given Name ISAACGENDER: Masculine USAGE: English, Spanish, Catalan, Jewish, Biblical, Biblical Latin OTHER SCRIPTS: יִצְחָק (Hebrew)PRONOUNCED: IE-zək (English) [details]Meaning & History From the Hebrew name יִצְחָק (Yitzchaq) meaning \"\"he will laugh, he will rejoice\"\", derived from צָחַק (tzachaq) meaning \"\"to laugh\"\".

According to his friends he had worked it out years before. The late date of publishing led to controversy at the time. Leibniz, a German mathematician published his method for calculus in 1684 before Newton. Leibniz insisted he had discovered calculus first, Newton disputed this strongly claiming Leibniz had stolen his work. This whole dispute lead to a general dislike and distrust of German scientists by English scientists, and of English scientists by German scientists. Most modern historians believe Newton and Leibniz discovered calculus independently.13 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Issac Newtons inventions contributed a great deal to our current understanding of subjects from optics to theology and how early scientists were able to view their world. In mathematics Isaac Newton inventions included laying the ground work for differential and integral calculus. His work was based on his insight that the integration of a function is merely the inverse procedure to differentiating it. Taking differentiation as the basic operation, he produced simple analytical methods that unified many separate techniques previously developed to solve apparently unrelated problems such as finding areas, tangents, the lengths of curves and the maxima and minima of functions. Issac Newton inventions in mechanics and gravitation were summarized the Principia. His discoveries in terrestrial and celestial mechanics showed how universal gravitation provided an explanation of falling bodies on Earth and of the motions of planets, comets, and other bodies in the heavens. He explained a wide range of then unrelated phenomena: the eccentric orbits of comets, the tides and their variations, the precession of the Earth’s axis, and motion of the Moon as perturbed by the gravity of the Sun." }, { "docid": "D3085614#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/The_scientific_revolution_encouraged_scientists_and_philosophers_to\nHow did the scientific encouraged scientists and philosophers to what?", "text": "How did the scientific encouraged scientists and philosophers to what?a phalogical awnser What did the Scientific Revolution encourage scientists and philosophers to do?focus on how something happened instead of why it happened.

Stalking is defined as a prolonged, intrusive method of harassment with obsessive, methodological, threatening, or sociopathic tendencies. Stalking can take place in a variety of circumstances ranging from physical stalking to virtual stalking. Physical stalking can include the inappropriate following, monitoring, or encroaching with regard to a victim. Online stalking can include harassment through email, the illicit collection of data or media belonging to another individual, or the unauthorized access of an individual’s computer network or server. Stalking vs. Harassment The primary difference between Stalking and harassment is the individual legality within each of the behaviors contributory to the charge itself. For example, while harassment is a crime, activity that could potentially be classified as stalking is not always criminal in nature. In many cases, the conglomeration of events and activities in which an individual participates is the gauge of a Stalking charge. For example, photographing an individual without their consent without any intended harm varies in its legality. The photographing of an individual without their respective consent for illicit means - the intent to harass, stalk, threaten, or frighten – can institute fear for personal safety in a Stalking victim." } ]

Cases involving stalking and harassment can be difficult to prosecute, and because of their nature are likely to require sensitive handling, especially with regard to victim care. The provision of accurate and up-to-date information to the victim throughout the life of the case, together with quality support and careful consideration of any special measures requirements are essential factors for the CPS to consider. It is important that the CPS work closely with the police and other agencies to ensure that the best evidence is gathered and presented to the court, to this end prosecutors should be aware of the Protocol on the appropriate handling of stalking offences between the Crown Prosecution Service & ACPO. A strong, coordinated prosecution team is required to proactively build and manage a case. It is also important that, where appropriate, victims are able to access relevant support organisations. This is to ensure that their safety and support needs are addressed throughout the criminal case (and sometimes beyond) and to reduce the risk they face as a result of the offending. In many circumstances, cases of stalking and harassment will come within the definition of 'domestic violence' and as such the CPS Domestic Violence Policy and legal guidance will also be relevant. Further information can be found at: CPS Policy on prosecuting cases of Domestic Violence Domestic Violence Legal Guidance Terminology Harassment In this legal guidance, the term harassment is used to cover the 'causing alarm or distress' offences under section 2 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 as amended (PHA), and 'putting people in fear of violence' offences under section 4 of the PHA.

George Washington Papers Even after the repeal of the Stamp Act, many colonists still had grievances with British colonial policies. For example, the Mutiny (or Quartering) Act of 1765 required colonial assemblies to house and supply British soldiers. Many colonists objected to the presence of a \"\"standing army\"\" in the colonies. Many also objected to being required to provide housing and supplies, which looked like another attempt to tax them without their consent, even though disguised. Several colonial assemblies refused to vote the mandated supplies. The British then disbanded the New York assembly in 1767 to make an example of it. Many non-New Yorkers resented this action, seeing rightly that their own assembly could also be shut down. The Stamp Act had led Americans to ask fundamental questions about the relationship between their local, colonial, legislatures, which were elected bodies, and the British Parliament, in which Americans had no elected representation.

A number of different typologies have been proposed to help us understand stalking behaviour and stalkers. Perhaps the most straightforward breaks stalking down into the type of prior relationship the victim had with the stalker. Using this typology, stalkers can be classified as a former sexual intimate (ex-intimate), an acquaintance (including friends and family members), or a stranger (either public figure or private stranger) (see Mohandie, Meloy, Green-Mc Gowan, & Williams (2006). Journal of Forensic Sciences 51, 147–155). This relationship-based typology can be a useful starting point for thinking about the kinds of risks and management strategies that might be appropriate in a stalking situation. Research clearly shows that ex-intimates are far more likely to be violent than other types of stalkers, and victims may have to take different precautions if someone who is very familiar with them is harassing them. The SRP uses a slightly more complex typology that provides extra information to assist professionals with understanding and managing stalking behaviour. This typology, developed by Paul Mullen, Michele Pathé and Rosemary Purcell, divides stalkers into five types, which are described further under the below. This typology places the greatest emphasis on the context in which the stalking arose and the stalker’s initial motivation for contacting the victim." }, { "docid": "D1757669#0", "title": "https://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/afcm/syrup.html\nSorghumâfor Syrup", "text": "\"Index | Search | Home Sorghum—for Syrup D.

Confusion amongst the public on how exactly hemp oil differs from cannabidiol, or CBD, oil, has prompted the nonprofit Hemp Industries Association to issue a statement explaining the difference between the oils in order to ensure that consumers — specifically, medical marijuana patients — are not misled about the intended uses. Hemp is often mistaken for its cannabis cousin, marijuana, even though smoking an entire garbage bag of hemp would not produce an altered state of consciousness, as hemp contains low levels of THC. Confusion between hemp oil and marijuana oil has spiked recently, as states have passed medical marijuana laws that allow for the use of strains of marijuana that are low in THC and high in CBD. Consumers often confuse hemp oil with CBD oil because both are low in THC and contain CBD. With hemp research and development pilot programs taking off this spring, and the hemp retail market growing at an incredible rate, it’s crucial that consumers and retailers alike understand the difference between hemp oil and CBD extracts, Eric Steenstra, executive director of Hemp Industries Association, said in a separate statement. Our Hemp Industries Association position regarding this distinction calls on makers of CBD products to brand and market their products truthfully and clearly, so as to not further the confusion surrounding CBD products in the marketplace. Though hemp oil does contain low levels of CBD, typically less than 25 parts per million (ppm), CBD extracts “are produced either directly from cannabis flowers that are up to 15 percent CBD (150,000 ppm), or indirectly as a co-product of the flowers and leaves that are mixed in with the stalks during hemp stalk processing for fiber. ”It is important for American farmers and processors of hemp to understand that most CBD in products mislabeled as ‘hemp oil’ is a product of large-scale hemp stalk and fiber processing facilities in Europe where the fiber is the primary material produced at a large scale, the association says.

To harass means to act in a way that causes significant emotional distress towards a particular individual for no reason. The next term, course of conduct, represents a pattern of behavior that is established over a period of time, regardless of length of time, and creates a continued purpose. The third term to consider is a credible threat." }, { "docid": "D2228368#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/peduncle\npeduncle", "text": "Correct all you're your grammar errors instantly.

One way to look behind the scene is to consider the cornfield as a complex and constantly changing community. It is a manufacturing community with many thousands of highly organized and highly efficient \"\"factories\"\" per hectare or acre. Basically, the raw materials for the factories (plants) are water and mineral nutrients from the soil and carbon dioxide and oxygen from the atmosphere. The internal machinery that transforms these raw materials into useful products (yield) is powered by sunlight. The products, called dry matter, consist of different combinations of carbohydrates, proteins, oils, and the mineral nutrients. Differences in growth and yield between hybrids are a result of differences in factory internal machinery. The overall concept of corn production is that the raw materials and sunlight (power), combine with the internal machinery of the hybrid being grown to yield dry matter. This means that growth and yield of a corn plant are functions of the plant's genetic potential to react to the environmental conditions under which the plant is grown. Although nature provides the major portion of the environmental influence on corn growth and yield, a corn producer can manipulate the environment with proven managerial practices." }, { "docid": "D2012552#0", "title": "http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/FTrials/conlaw/senateconfirm.html\n.", "text": "\"Introduction The Constitution (Article II, Section 2) states that the President shall seek the \"\"advice\"\" and obtain the \"\"consent\"\" of the Senate before his nominations to the federal bench (and other \"\"officers of the United States,\"\" including Cabinet officers) assume their posts. ( There is an exception for temporary appointments when the Senate is in recess.) While it is assumed that the President will try to nominate judges who hold a judicial philosophy that he shares, there is much argument over whether the Senate is equally free to take philosophy and ideology into account in its decision whether to confirm the nominees. The Senate rejected 27 (20%) of the 149 nominees to the Supreme Court made between the nation's founding and 2005. The reasons for the rejections vary, and include incompetence, inexperience, and impropriety. Most of the rejections, however, reflect in part, or even primarily, a difference between the President and the Senate over whether the nominated justice represents the right ideological choice. The first Supreme Court nominee to be rejected by the Senate was John Rutledge, nominated by President George Washington in 1795, just eight years after the Constitution's drafting. Although some senators suggested they voted against Rutledge out of concern he was losing his sanity, the main reason for opposition (the nomination failed on a 10 to 14 vote) to Rutledge was the nominee's recently-expressed opposition to the Jay Treaty with Great Britain, a treaty popular in the Federalist-controlled Senate. The ideology-based Rutledge rejection, so soon after the Constitution's adoption, is strong evidence that the Senate's examination of a nominee's qualifications can be broad enough to encompass his political views. While senators may vote against a nominee for many reasons, it is clear that several nominees since Rutledge have failed for political reasons more than out of concerns of incompetence or impropriety." }, { "docid": "D2359817#0", "title": "http://www.breakthroughparenting.com/PAS.htm\n.", "text": "\"Nothing stirs up passions more than the controversy generated when parents are at war over the custody of a child.

Retroviruses are named for an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, which was discovered independently in 1971 by American virologists Howard Temin and David Baltimore. Reverse transcriptase transcribes RNA into deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ), a process that constitutes a reversal of the usual direction of cellular transcription (DNA into RNA). The action of reverse transcriptase makes it possible for genetic material from a retrovirus to become permanently incorporated into the DNA genome of an infected cell; the enzyme is widely used in the biological sciences to synthesize genes.

According to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollution levels are as much as five times higher than outdoors. And good ventilation is an important part of maintaining good indoor air quality. Dilution and at-source (spot) exhausting are the main methods for ensuring good indoor air quality. It is possible to remove particles (by filtration), volatile organics (by adsorption), and other harmful products from indoor air, but these technologies are energy-intensive and very expensive (think spacecraft and submarines).

They are abundant in the genomes of jawed vertebrates, and they comprise up to 5–8% of the human genome (lower estimates of ~1%). [ 1] [2] ERVs are a subclass of a type of gene called a transposon, which can be packaged and moved within the genome to serve a vital role in gene expression and in regulation. [ 3] [4] They are distinguished as retrotransposons, which are Class I elements. [ 5] Researchers have suggested that retroviruses evolved from a type of transposable gene called a retrotransposon, which includes ERVs; these genes can mutate and instead of moving to another location in the genome they can become exogenous or pathogenic. This means that not all ERVs may have originated as an insertion by a retrovirus but that some may have been the source for the genetic information in the retroviruses they resemble. [ 6] When integration of viral DNA occurs in the germ-line, it can give rise to an ERV, which can later become fixed in the gene pool of the host population.

Contents [ show]Shannon and Weaver Edit The first major model for communication was the Shannon–Weaver model developed in 1949 by Claude Elwood Shannon and Warren Weaver for Bell Laboratories [1] Following the basic concept, communication is the process of sending and receiving messages or transferring information from one part (sender) to another (receiver). [ 2]The original model was designed to mirror the functioning of radio and telephone technologies. Their initial model consisted of three primary parts: sender, channel, and receiver. The sender was the part of a telephone a person spoke into, the channel was the telephone itself, and the receiver was the part of the phone where one could hear the other person. Shannon and Weaver also recognized that often there is static that interferes with one listening to a telephone conversation, which they deemed noise. [ 1]In a simple model, often referred to as the transmission model or standard view of communication, information or content (e.g. a message in natural language) is sent in some form (as spoken language) from an emisor/ sender/ encoder to a destination/ receiver/ decoder. This common conception of communication views communication as a means of sending and receiving information. The strengths of this model are simplicity, generality, and quantifiability. Social scientists Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver structured this model based on the following elements: An information source, which produces a message." }, { "docid": "D165815#0", "title": "https://www.copart.co.uk/Content/UK/EN/Support/FAQ-Topics/Glossary-of-Terms\nGlossary of Terms", "text": "Glossary of Terms Print Email FAQ Topics Buying from Copart Fees and Payments MEA Fees and Payments Glossary of Terms Preliminary Bidding Reclaiming VATSale Policies Selling Support Copart UK Glossary of Terms ABI Cat The ABI stands for the Association of British Insurers which is UK's leading financial services trade association.

The resulting changes in pressure, causes changes in lung volumes, i.e. the amount of air the lungs are capable of occupying. These volumes tend to vary, depending on the depth of respiration, ethnicity, gender, age and in certain respiratory diseases. Learn more about respiratory physiology...... Respiratory Physiology - Introduction The respiratory physiology is on the process of incorporation of oxygen in the environment for the utilization of energy from the organic compounds and for the elimination of carbon dioxide Tidal Volume (TV)The volume of air breathed in and out at rest is known as the tidal volume (TV). This is found to be about 500 ml in an averagely built (70 kg), healthy, young adult. The tidal volume tends to decrease in restrictive lung diseases. In restrictive lung diseases, the lungs fail to expand properly as a result of restrictive forces exerted from within the lungs (e.g. – fibrosing alveolitis) or from the thoracic wall (e.g. – severe scoliosis, ankylosing spondylitis). Weakness of the respiratory muscles (e.g. – myasthenia gravis, Guillain Barre syndrome and phrenic nerve palsy) can also give rise to restricted movements of the chest wall resulting in the reduction of the tidal volume. Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) and Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)In addition to the amount of air that could be inspired at rest, the lungs are capable of accommodating an additional amount of air during a deep inspiration. This amount of air that can be inhaled in addition to the tidal volume is known as the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)." }, { "docid": "D2749375#0", "title": "http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/blogs/dept/musings/makeup-air-range-hoods\nMakeup Air for Range Hoods", "text": "\"9 Helpful?

The name was also borne in Greco-Roman mythology and in the Iliad by Ascanius Julius, also known as Iulus or Julus, the son of the Trojan hero Aeneas. Three popes have also borne the name. The name was adopted by English speakers from the 19th century, and has been used with both Christians and Jews." }, { "docid": "D3024364#0", "title": "https://www.homepower.com/articles/home-efficiency/equipment-products/heat-energy-recovery-ventilators\nHeat & Energy Recovery Ventilators", "text": "The heat recovery ventilator (HRV) and its close cousin, the energy recovery ventilator (ERV), can often make a home more efficient.

Homes Need to Breathe A house built to modern standards of tight construction will allow only a very small amount of outside air to leak in. But fresh air is needed to dilute the products of human habitation (cooking, cleaning, breathing, combustion, etc. ), as well as the chemicals that offgas from building materials, such as particle board and paint. According to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollution levels are as much as five times higher than outdoors. And good ventilation is an important part of maintaining good indoor air quality. Dilution and at-source (spot) exhausting are the main methods for ensuring good indoor air quality. It is possible to remove particles (by filtration), volatile organics (by adsorption), and other harmful products from indoor air, but these technologies are energy-intensive and very expensive (think spacecraft and submarines). Although houses can be designed to “self-ventilate,” this process depends upon local climate conditions and wind shading—protection by tall walls and trees—which are not controllable." }, { "docid": "D2657925#0", "title": "http://www.kgbanswers.com/is-the-point-guard-kyrie-erving-julius-ervings-son/21859013\nIs the point guard, kyrie erving, julius erving's son?", "text": "Is the point guard, kyrie erving, julius erving's son?kgb answers » Sports » Basketball » Is the point guard, kyrie erving, julius erving's son?

Catalfimo, Trust and Estate Lawyer Dated: May 24, 2012What is probate? Probate is the court process by which someone is appointed to serve as the executor or administrator of an Estate by the court. The executor will collect all the assets, pay debts of the decedent, pay the costs of the estate administration, report all assets to the court and after a certain time period has lapsed (and all bills are paid), will distribute the estate assets to the decedent’s beneficiaries. How long does it take? It depends. A typical estate in NH may be closed after six months if all the interested parties assent to a Motion for Summary Administration. However, all debts and outstanding bills must first be paid, including the decedent’s final 1040 income tax. If the beneficiaries do not waive the accounting and do not agree to an expedited Motion for Summary Administration, then it may take up to 1 year or longer (from the executor’s date of appointment) before the estate can be closed. How much are the court costs?

The purpose of this guide is to provide a general overview of the six steps required to probate an estate.01 Step 1 of Estate Settlement - Inventory Before being appointed to serve as Personal Representative/Executor, the first step in probating an estate is to locate all of the decedent's estate planning documents and other important papers. The decedent's estate planning documents may include a Last Will and Testament, funeral, cremation, burial or memorial instructions, and/or a Revocable Living Trust. The original documents should be stored in a safe place until they can be given to the estate attorney. The decedent's important papers will include information about the decedent's assets, including bank and brokerage statements, stock and bond certificates, life insurance policies, corporate records, car and boat titles, and deeds; and information about the decedent's debts, including utility bills, credit card bills, mortgages, personal loans, medical bills and the funeral bill. Refer to What Documents Are Needed After Someone Dies? for a detailed list of the specific documents that will need to be located. From these documents a list should be made of what the decedent owned and owed, how each asset is titled (in the decedent's individual name, as a tenant in common, in joint names, or in a trust), and, for assets and debts that have a statement, the value of the asset or debt as listed on the statement and the date of the statement. In addition, the decedent's prior three years of income tax returns should be set aside. Once the decedent's important documents have been sorted through, the next is to meet with an estate lawyer to open the estate with the probate court.02 Step 2 of Estate Settlement - Open the Probate Estate Once the decedent's legal documents and other important papers have been sorted through, the next step in probating the estate is to meet with an estate attorney to officially open the probate estate with the probate court." }, { "docid": "D762582#0", "title": "https://www.bna.com/irs-announces-2017-b57982079185/\nIRS Announces 2017 Inflation Adjustments", "text": "Oct 26, 2016 / by Eric Rodriguez IRS Announces 2017 Inflation Adjustments The IRS recently released the 2017 inflation adjustments for several tax provisions in Rev.

A history of the estate tax is available here. The exemption amount amount is reduced for any taxable gifts made during the decedent’s lifetime. In other words, if gifts were made during the life of the decedent, the estate tax could be increased. Various deductions are available to eliminate taxes on estates over the $5,250,000 threshold. The main deduction is the marital deduction (for assets passing to a surviving spouse). Accordingly, a decedent can leave an unlimited amount to a surviving spouse without the payment of estate tax.

By including a charitable bequest in a will, a testator makes a final statement in support of a qualified charity. Yet, the importance of charitable bequests is often understated; some view a bequest as simpler and less substantial compared to lifetime planned giving arrangements. However, it is difficult not to be impressed by the impact of bequests when charitable organizations regularly report testamentary gifts of $1,000,000, $10,000,000 or more. The Ground Rules Mistakes in Crafting Bequest Language Reduction of the Charitable Bequest Post-mortem Preservation of the Charitable Bequest Advantages of Certain Testamentary Gifts Split-Interest Charitable Bequest Estate Planning with a QTIP and Charitable Bequest Closing Endnotes Whatever form the charitable bequest takes – a specific dollar amount, a particular asset, a certain percentage of the available estate or the estate residue – the donor should benefit from a charitable deduction for estate tax purposes. Keep in mind that an improperly made charitable bequest can both defeat your client’s good intentions and result in a denial of the charitable deduction which increases the taxable estate. This issue explores different opportunities and pitfalls in making charitable bequests. Back to Top I. The Ground Rules A bequest made to a qualified charity is deductible by the estate for estate tax purposes if it meets the requirements set out in the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).1 To qualify for the estate tax charitable deduction under IRC §2055, a bequest generally must be: Included in the decedent’s gross estate;Transferred by the decedent by will; and Made to a qualified charitable organization as defined under estate tax rules.2The term “qualified charitable organization” generally means any domestic or foreign “corporation or association organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes” that will use the asset exclusively for charitable purposes.3Although the applicable exclusion amount has increased in recent years (up to $5,120,000 in 2012), the availability of a charitable deduction against estate taxes is a welcome benefit for many estates. Estates in excess of the applicable exclusion amount face the imposition of the federal estate tax at a 2012 top tax rate of 35%, and the charitable deduction allowed for a bequest can provide a measure of relief from this burden.4Back to Top II. Mistakes in Crafting Bequest Language Advising a client to take advantage of the charitable deduction for a bequest is obvious, but the preparation for and drafting of the bequest should be done with care." }, { "docid": "D2488799#0", "title": "http://www.njlaws.com/answers_to_probate.html\nProbate Answers", "text": "\"Probate Answers Probate is the process where after death the instructions of the Will are carried out.

Probate is a legal proceeding to administer certain kinds of property (called probate property) owned by someone who has died (the decedent), to see that claims, expenses and taxes are properly paid, and to see that the remaining estate is distributed to those entitled to receive it under the terms of the decedent’s will or under Ohio law. Probate property consists of all property titled in the decedent’s name and not transferable on death. It is distributed according to the terms of the decedent’s will or, if the decedent died without a will (intestate), according to Ohio law.

Property that is not probate property (called nonprobate property), and therefore is not part of the probate proceeding, includes: property the decedent and another person held as joint tenants with right of survivorship; property held in a trust; accounts that are payable on death (POD) or will transfer on death (TOD) to a named beneficiary; and insurance or retirement benefits that are payable to a named beneficiary. Nonprobate property passes directly to a named beneficiary, survivor or successor in interest, without probate proceedings." }, { "docid": "D888229#0", "title": "http://www.wkblaw.com/practice-areas/estate-planning-probate-and-trust-administration/overview-california-probate-process\n", "text": "Probate’s Purposes Probate is the legal process that results in a court validating someone’s will or determining that he or she died without one. The court, as part of the probate, will appoint someone to handle the bills of the deceased as well as his or her assets. Depending on certain circumstances, that person is called the executor, administrator, or administrator with the will annexed. Probate is also when creditors of the deceased can appear before the court and make their claims for payment. Under law, they have a fixed period of time to do so and demand payment. In addition to insuring the payments of those debts presented by creditors, the probate process is also used by the federal government to make sure taxes are paid. Income taxes for the deceased must be paid for his or her personal income tax return for the period up to the date of death. If the estate earns any income during the probate, a separate estate income tax return is required, and taxes must be paid on the income. If the estate of the person who died is over the maximum exemption – currently $5,000,000 – a federal estate tax return is due, and any taxes due must be paid within nine months of the date of death. Finally, following the collection of all the assets owned by the person who died and any sale of them, taxes and debts are paid before the executor or administrator distributes the remaining assets as provided for in the decedent’s will or, if there is none, following the rules of intestate succession." }, { "docid": "D1823951#0", "title": "https://www.mib.com/lost_life_insurance.html\n", "text": "Life insurance policyholders may fail to inform the beneficiary (ies) of a policy's existence. In life insurance, the beneficiary is the person or entity entitled to receive the policy proceeds upon the death of insured. Because some beneficiaries are not aware of their entitlement to the death benefit proceeds, they may fail to claim them. Insurance companies would like to distribute what is rightfully due, but they are bound to identify and pay the proper beneficiaries under the policies that they issue and they may only do so when claims are made. Today, consumers have several options available to them when searching for life insurance policies for deceased family members, including: searches provided by state treasurer and national unclaimed property searches; insurance company Lost Policy Finders; state insurance department Policy Locators; and private, fee-based services (for instance, MIB's Policy Locator Service ). First Steps. . . Check the decedent's personal papers and address books looking for listings of insurance agents, lawyers, estate planners, and financial advisors.

An inheritance can help you get out of debt and pay your upcoming bills. However, if you inherit far more money than you currently need, savings some for a rainy-day fund or retirement can help you get ahead. But just because you have extra money doesn't mean you're eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA. Roth IRAs differ from traditional IRAs because money that goes into a Roth is taxed before it goes in, but when you take a qualified distribution, you remove all the contributions and earnings tax-free. Inheritence is Not Compensation To contribute to a Roth IRA, you must have compensation at least equal to your contribution. If your compensation is less than the annual contribution limit, your contribution is limited to the amount of your compensation. Compensation includes only money that you earn from working, either as an employee or as a self-employed individual. However, the IRS does not require that the compensation be specifically used to contribute to a Roth IRA. For example, if you have $8,000 in compensation and you inherit $50,000, even if that $8,000 went to paying rent and food expenses, you can use money from the inheritance to contribute to a Roth IRA, because you had enough compensation for the year." } ]

The General Educational Development (GED) exam is a group of four tests that assess an individual's knowledge of academic subjects typically taught in high school. Test takers who pass all four sections earn a certificate of completion from the state where the test was held. This certificate is regarded by many employers, colleges, and post-secondary schools as an equivalent of a high school diploma.

I heard a number on TV a while back, an amount of calories that you have to cut out or burn in order to loose a pound. Anyone know what that number is? Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: 3500Abby · 1 decade ago0 2 Comment Asker's rating There are about 3,500 calories to a pound. Let's say that you need 2,200 calories to maintain your weight, given your average level of activity. If you were to eat 2,700 calories a day, you would be eating 500 calories times 7 days per week or 3,500 calories too much, and you will gain a pound a week. By the same token, if you only ate 1,700 calories a day, you will lose a pound a week. The source of these calories is irrelevant to weight loss (although it is very important to your overall health). So you can eat or cut back on fat or protein or carbohydrates (refined or not), but in the end, your weight loss will be determined by how many calories passed through your mouth, using the 3,500 calories per pound equivalency. This is a pretty well-established scientific fact, and diets that claim otherwise have a high burden of proof to overcome." } ]

Sex, like any physical activity, burns calories. According to editors at Natural News, sex can raise your heartbeat to aerobic levels and burn an average of 200 calories during a 30-minute session. That translates to losing a pound for every 17.5 times you have sex. They also report that sex reduces food cravings and stimulates chemicals in the body that control appetite, helping you take in fewer calories. Stress Reduction Sex also helps foster an overall sense of health and well-being through reducing stress and improving sleep--two activities linked with weight loss. According to Christine Haran, author of \"\"Good Vibrations: Uncovering the Health Benefits of Sex,\"\" an orgasm causes your body to release oxytocin, a chemical that promotes relaxation, pain relief and emotional bonding. Sex also helps you sleep, and getting enough sleep is important for healing the body after exercise and lowering stress hormones that may cause weight gain.

You will lose weight if you keep your diet in that range but excersise a lot more, or if you maintain a normal range of activity but eat less. But in either scenario, your daily budget is close to 2,000 calories, with a surplus or deficit of perhaps 300. A kilogram of body fat is equivalent to 7,500 calories.

But the rate of calorie burn can vary widely depending on a number of variables. You've probably heard the old adage that a person burns about 100 calories running one mile, but this is just a very loose average that is highly inaccurate for heavier runners, as you'll see below. In this article, we put calorie myths to rest and give you the tools to calculate just how many calories you burn during different types of running workouts. The Variables The number of calories you burn while running depends on metabolic variables, like body weight, age and body composition, and performance variables such as pace and incline. Because body composition is difficult to determine accurately, and because age has a relatively low effect on metabolism, most formulas use body weight as the only metabolic variable when calculating calorie expenditure during activity. Calories Burned Running This Walk/Run Metabolic Calculator on Ex Rx.net is fun to play around with and more accurate than some other calculators because it factors in the grade (or incline), as well as average pace and the runner's body weight. For weight loss, this calculator is also useful because it allows a runner to view both gross calories and net calories burned. Gross calories are the total number of calories burned in a certain amount of time. Net calories, meanwhile, are the number of calories burned, minus the number of calories you would have burned sitting around doing nothing for the same period of time." }, { "docid": "D3058607#0", "title": "http://www.steadyhealth.com/topics/masterbation-calories-burn\nmasterbation calories burn", "text": "\"Guest over a year ago Hello.

While there’s no one magic combination that will make the pounds melt off, you can optimize your diet for weight loss by adjusting the composition of your calories. WHICH MACRO SHOULD YOU ADJUST? When it comes to choosing what to eat more of and what to cut back on for weight loss, consider first what you want to achieve. The goal of losing weight is to reduce fat stores while preserving, or even adding, lean tissue — what we refer to as muscle. Carbohydrates are an important source of fuel for our muscles during exercise and are the only source of energy for our brain and red blood cells. Fat is equally important, playing major roles in everything from brain function to cell structure, but if you’re trying to lose weight, it may not hurt to trade some carbohydrates and/or fat calories for a boost in protein. Calorie for calorie, protein has the most metabolic benefits for weight loss: it increases satiety, stimulates energy expenditureandpreserves muscle, which unfortunately is used for energy along with fat during weight loss.

There are many other ways too, and if you are here today, we are pretty sure you have probably tried about half of them. The methods you choose to lose weight really depend on how overweight you are. If you are just a little over your ideal weight, going with one or two weight loss methods would do you the trick, which will again depend on if you would want to lose just weight, or also wish to build muscles. But if you are overweight, and need to shed quite a few pounds, we suggest that you combine all the methods listed below. With a little patience and a lot of diligence, you will see a noticeable difference in just two weeks." } ]

If that name is a mouthful, you can refer to this parrot as the “linnie.” Bolborhynchus means “parakeet with a large beak.” Don’t be intimidated; lineolated parakeets aren’t prone to use theirs on you. It is also referred to as the barred parakeet because, in most color mutations, there are black bars on the feathers on their backs and wings.

John Muir first met Gifford Pinchot in New York in 1893. Muir traveled with Pinchot and others with the National Forestry Commission surveying the problems of the western forest reserves. At that time, they became good friends. The friendship was not to last, however. While Muir crusaded for the preservation of wilderness, Pinchot campaigned for utilitarian use of public lands. Pinchot and Muir became major antagonists on the issue of Hetch Hetchy Valley. The deepening schism between Muir and Pinchot eventually grew into a great split between the preservation wing and the utilitarian wing of the conservation movement. A story by Linnie Marsh Wolfe in her classic biography Son of the Wilderness: The Life of John Muir suggests that Muir and Pinchot had a dramatic heated confrontation and parting of the ways at Seattle's Rainer Grand Hotel in 1897." }, { "docid": "D1414215#0", "title": "http://linniesociety.org/about-linnies/colors/\nColors", "text": "Colors Colors – Mutations The Lineolated Parakeet comes in many different colors, also known as mutations.

Most Linnies, as we call them, are friendly, easy keepers in both breeding situations and as pets. You could not ask for a nicer bird. They come in Green, which is their normal or wild color, as well as many color mutations. Turquoise, Cobalt, Mauve, Blue Olive, Lutino and Cremino are a few of the more popular colors. The genetics are simple recessive with the exception of the Lutino which is sex linked. With the introduction of the dilute gene (both single and double dilutes) sex-linked identification of birds is possible. When you mate single dilute males to normal females, you can also get single dilute males and normal males and females. On the same token, if you mate a normal male to a double dilute female, all males will be single dilute and all females will be normals, saving the costs on DNA-sexing.

I would venture to say have a high level of expertise when it comes to Dachshunds, and I am more than willing to share what I know when asked. So, let’s get down to it. What Should Your Dachshund Weigh? I want to clear up some things about Dachshunds and their weight. First, Dachshunds come in several sizes. The most widely recognized categories are miniature and standard. With Dachshunds, their category is determined by size/weight, not breed lines or the size of their parents." } ]

Medical science liaisons Pharmaceutical companies employ medical science liaisons (MSLs) to serve as information providers to clients and potential clients -- from insurers to doctors in a medical group. The demand for MSLs has grown along with the legal and regulatory requirements pharmaceutical companies must satisfy. MSLs are not sales representatives. They have medical or scientific backgrounds, and so they can provide peer-level interaction in a way that a business person can't. Typically, MSLs have a Ph. D. in the sciences (e.g., nutritional science), a pharmacy degree (Pharm D) or an MD. Before becoming a liaison, they often get their start working in medical research or in hospital pharmacies. In their first year, MSLs can make between $115,000 to $120,000 plus a 10% to 20% bonus on their base.

Since every octet is sequenced, each of them can be acknowledged. The acknowledgment mechanism employed is cumulative so that an acknowledgment of sequence number X indicates that all octets up to but not including X have been received. This mechanism allows for straight-forward duplicate detection in the presence of retransmission. Numbering of octets within a segment is that the first data octet immediately following the header is the lowest numbered, and the following octets are numbered consecutively. It is essential to remember that the actual sequence number space is finite, though very large. This space ranges from 0 to 2**32 - 1. Since the space is finite, all arithmetic dealing with sequence numbers must be performed modulo 2**32. This unsigned arithmetic preserves the relationship of sequence numbers as they cycle from 2**32 - 1 to 0 again.

That at cabin altitudes above 14,000 feet pilots must use oxygen at all times. And that above 15,000 feet each occupant of the aircraft must be provided supplemental oxygen.

The medical science liaison is a somewhat of a spokesperson and educator, with a bit of clinician and salesperson mixed in. Learn how to become a medical science liaison and what it requires. Demand for Medical Science Liaisons The competition for roles as a medical science liaison is very tough, as with most non-clinical roles for former clinicians or scientists. Clinical roles are almost always easier to obtain than non-clinical, due to supply and demand. Educational Requirements In addition to tough competition for MSL jobs, there are many barriers of entry for becoming a medical science liaison. Most MSL professionals not only have a Ph D, MD, or other graduate-level education in nursing or other life science, but they also possess at least a few years of full-time clinical experience. According to MSLcareers.com, most employers require a doctorate-level degree. Compensation Due to the high level of education required to become an MSL, most medical science liaisons positions start in the low six figures ($100,000+) and go up from there, commensurate upon experience.

The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) is a specific role within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, CRO and other health-care industries. MSLs have advanced scientific training and academic credentials generally consisting of a doctorate degree (Ph. D., Pharm D., M. D.) in the life sciences. They concentrate on a specific Therapeutic Area (i.e. Oncology, Cardiology, CNS, Pulmonary, Hematology, Surgery, Women's Health Care, etc) and disease state. Medical Science Liaisons are vital in the success of a company. They work throughout a product's lifecycle, help to ensure that products are utilized effectively, serve as scientific peers and resources within the medical community, and are scientific experts to internal colleagues at companies. However, the primary purpose of the MSL role is to establish and maintain peer-peer relationships with leading physicians, referred to as Key Opinion Leaders (KOL's), at major academic institutions and clinics. Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) were first established by Upjohn Pharmaceuticals in 1967 as a response to the need for scientifically trained field staff that would be able to build rapport with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in various therapeutic areas of research.

All exocrine glands (and also most endocrine glands), are composed of epithelial tissue. Although most glands give the appearance of being \"\"solid\"\" tissue, their epithelial nature is expressed by the organization of secretory cells into tubules, acini, or cords.

These two categories of secretory products come from two distinct categories of cells, each with a characteristic appearance. Mixed g lands (e.g., most salivary glands) contain both types of cells.

Common symptoms include coughing, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, and shortness of breath. Advertisement There are many natural treatments available to relieve asthma and in this article I am going to specifically describe how essential oils can help to relieve asthma. Essential Oils for Treating Asthma – Precautions Essential oils may not always be an ideal treatment for asthma. After all, asthma attacks can be triggered by allergies, so those with allergic reactions to the scent of specific or all oils will have their attacks triggered by them. As a result, if you experience attacks or a deterioration in your breathing after using an essential oil, the better approach is to seek conventional medical advice. Almost no drugs work for everyone, and essential oils are no exception. Many sufferers may benefit from essential oils and use them to relieve the mild attacks, but still keep a prescribed inhaler on hand to deal with the severe cases. If you are sure you are not allergic to the scent of oils, this is probably an approach that you may want to consider, as it limits synthetic drugs to only the necessary cases. Essential oils and medications are not mutually exclusive, and the former can often support the systems of your body until the latter becomes necessary." }, { "docid": "D2301744#0", "title": "https://www.scribd.com/document/56590201/Complications-of-Cholelithiasis\nCOMPLICATIONS OF CHOLELITHIASIS", "text": "COMPLICATIONS OF CHOLELITHIASISComplications: Gallstones that do not cause symptoms rarely lead to problems.

Gallstones, however, can cause obstruction at any point along the ducts that carry bile. In such cases, symptoms can develop. yy In most cases of obstruction, the stones block the cystic duct, which leads from the gallbladder to the common bile duct. This can cause pain (biliary colic), infection and inflammation (acute cholecystitis), or both. About 10% of patients with symptomatic gallstones also have stones that pass into and obstruct the common bile duct (choledocholithiasis).

The cilia are complex hairlike structures, capable of movement, that line various body organs, including the upper and lower respiratory tracts, auditory tubes, ventricles of the brain, spinal canal, uterine tube, and the ducts of the testes. The main function of the cilia is to move cells, or to move the surrounding fluids. They also serve as a kind of filter. In the respiratory tract, the cilia work to remove dust and other material from inhaled air before it is moved into the lungs. Ciliary beating (the process of movement) is normally coordinated by an intricate interaction of numerous proteins contained within each cilium. Movement is characteristically uncoordinated (dyskinetic) or absent in dogs affected with ciliary dyskinesia; the affected cilia will often have structural lesions. Clinical signs predominate in ciliated organs: a lack of mucociliary (interaction of mucus and cilia) clearance in the respiratory tract can lead to recurrent bacterial rhinosinusitis, bronchopneumonia and auditory canal (ear) infection, as well as chronic inflammation and obstruction of the airways. It can also lead to male infertility (live sperm that are incapable of movement). Hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain), and situs inversus (organs on opposite side than normal) are common albeit variable features of ciliary dyskinesia." }, { "docid": "D931213#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/11417988/chapter-5-the-integumentary-system-and-body-membranes-flash-cards/\nChapter-5 The Integumentary System and Body Membranes.", "text": "\"Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads111 terms gita96Chapter-5 The Integumentary System and Body Membranes.

This is due to an increase in the production of the stomach acid. Ulcer is a disease that is caused by bacteria, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria to be exact. The bacteria produce substances that weaken the mucous lining causing the stomach to get burned. Gastritis and ulcers are two different types of medical conditions that take place in the gastrointestinal tract of the human body. Both are quite similar in nature, which is one of the reasons why many people often confuse both of these conditions together. They also share many symptoms, another reason why these two diseases are quite confusing. Gastritis is actually the inflammation of the stomach lining, while ulcers occur when the stomach lining develops holes through which the acid burns the stomach. Gastritis is a medical condition in which the internal stomach lining becomes inflamed or swollen due to excessive production of stomach acid. Causes for the inflammation vary depending on persons and can also include excessive alcohol consumption, continuous use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen, surgery, infections, burns, chronic bile reflux, stress and certain autoimmune disorders." }, { "docid": "D513722#0", "title": "http://www.justanswer.com/dog-health/6saw1-dog-always-excessive-mucus-he-sneezes-expels-viscous-mucus-large.html\nMy dog has always had excessive mucus (he sneezes and expels very viscous mucus in large qâ¦", "text": "This answer was rated: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★My dog has always had excessive mucus (he sneezes and expels very viscous mucus in large q…My dog has always had excessive mucus (he sneezes and expels very viscous mucus in large quantities).

There are two primary types of coughs, dry and productive. A productive cough is one in which you are coughing up phlegm or mucous-this is not a cough that should be suppressed, as your body needs to rid itself of the gunk that’s in your chest/lungs. While it shouldn’t be suppressed, some of these remedies will address a productive cough by including an expectorant, or something that loosens mucous and makes it easier for the body to get rid of. A dry, hacking, cough is another story. This is one we do want to stop.

Phlegm is the thick fluid secreted by the mucous membrane of the respiratory system. It usually contains mucus, along with debris, bacteria or virus, and inflammatory cells that are produced by the body in response to an infection. The mucous membrane produces mucus to keep the nasal passages moist and humidify the air we breathe in. Mucus helps trap foreign particles and thereby prevents their entry into the respiratory system. When the mucous membrane gets irritated, it produces more mucus than usual, in order to flush out the substances responsible for causing irritation. As a result, the mucus becomes thicker.

A sinus is a cavity (air chamber) within the bone. These are four sets of open spaces within the bones of the skull. They are above the eyes (frontal sinuses), to either side of the nose inside the cheekbones (maxillary sinuses), behind the bridge of the nose (sphenoid sinuses) and in the upper nose (ethmoid sinuses). Normally, mucous cleans any particles that collect in the sinuses. With the help of tiny hairs called cilia, mucous is moved out of sinuses so that it can drain into the nasal passages. However, when you have cold or allergy attack, your sinuses become inflamed or infected and drainage cannot occur. If the sinuses are too small to handle the amount of volume of mucus produced by the body, they can become clogged.

They found that the human brain's neurons had specific receptor sites for opiate drugs: opium, heroin, codeine and morphine. But then there was the obvious question. Why would nature put in our brains a receptor for a plant? After all, humans beings didn't evolve over millions of years eating opium or shooting heroin. The scientists reasoned there must be some other function for these receptors sites. They soon figured out that the active ingredient in all these opiates - morphine - had a chemical structure similar to endorphins, a class of chemicals present in the brain . Endorphins are feel-good chemicals naturally-manufactured in the brain when the body experiences pain or stress. They are called the natural opiates of the body.

What Is Dependence? What Is Addiction? It is important to understand the meaning of the terms tolerance, dependence, and addiction when discussing substance abuse and the use of prescription medications such as opioid painkillers. Unfortunately, both professionals and lay people often misuse these terms, leading to the mistaken belief that tolerance, dependence, and addiction are just different names for the same thing.

Cocaine is many things. It can be a white powder, a very strong stimulant that can be abused to create euphoria, confidence, alertness and energy. In its powder form, it can be snorted or it can be dissolved and injected. If you mix it with a flammable solvent, you can separate out the intoxicating elements from the impurities and inhale the vapors. This is referred to as “freebasing” cocaine. Cocaine can also be found in the form of small off-white rocks. This is cocaine when it has been processed with ammonia or baking soda to remove some impurities. The remaining mixture will dry to rocks that can be broken into small pieces, sold in tiny baggies and smoked.

It is categorized as a stimulant, and is currently a Schedule II substance. Stimulants heighten the body's activity, including increases in energy, alertness, heart rate, and blood pressure. The form of cocaine that is commonly used is a white powder obtained from the leaves of the Erythroxylon Coca plant. History Humans have known about the stimulant effects of the Coca plant since ancient South American cultures chewed the leaves in everyday activities and religious rituals. Cocaine first appeared in American society in the 1880's as a surgical anesthetic, and soon became a common household drug, as well as an ingredient in Coca-Cola and in several types of wines. Snorting cocaine was slowly becoming popular in the early 1900's until the drug was banned in 1914 as a result of the Harrison Act. Abuse began rising again in the 1960's, causing Congress to classify it as a Schedule II drug in 1970. 1 Later, in the mid-1980's, crack cocaine, which is derived from powder cocaine, became an enormously popular drug of abuse. Today, synthetic forms of cocaine such as Novocain are still used as local anesthetics for surgical purposes; however, medical use has become more sporadic with the introduction of safer and more improved pharmaceuticals." }, { "docid": "D859611#0", "title": "https://www.addictioncenter.com/addiction/10-most-common-addictions/\n10 Most Common Addictions", "text": "10 Most Common Addictions People who want to take back control of their life should know as much as possible about their addiction.

The symptoms of drug withdrawal, and the length of that withdrawal, vary depending on the drug of abuse and the length of the addiction. These are a few withdrawal symptoms and timelines for major targets of abuse: Heroin and prescription painkillers: flu-like symptoms lasting 24-48 hours Benzodiazepines: anxiety and/or seizures lasting weeks or (in some cases) months Cocaine: depression and restlessness lasting 7-10 days Alcohol: tremors and/or seizures lasting three days to several weeks Find Fast Heroin and Opiates Benzodiazepines Cocaine Alcohol When Is It Necessary Use of Medications In 2011, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) published that almost 25 million Americans over the age of 12, approaching 10 percent of this section of the population, had used an illicit drug in the month prior to the survey, classifying them as current drug users. Addictive drugs and alcohol make changes to the way the brain processes emotions and regulates mood. Many of these changes create a flood of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which create an artificial feeling of pleasure, or a “high. ”Continued abuse of drugs or alcohol interferes with the motivation and reward chemistry and circuitry, resulting in drug cravings and dependence. Once a dependence on a substance has formed, withdrawal symptoms will start when the substance is then removed. Different drugs and substances will have different withdrawal symptoms and timelines, depending on how they interact with the brain and bodily functions. Drugs are absorbed and remain active in the body for differing amounts of time.

There are ongoing debates as to the exact distinctions between substance abuse and substance dependence, but current practice standard distinguishes between the two by defining substance dependence in terms of physiological and behavioral symptoms of substance use, and substance abuse in terms of the social consequences of substance use.

Table Figure A-1: Ways in Which Psychopharmacology is Used to Treat Alcohol or Other Drug Dependencies. As part of drug abuse treatment, the term detoxification refers to the process of reversing a patient's physical dependence. ( Note: This is not the usual medical meaning of the term detoxification, which implies the removal of a toxin, such as lead, from the body.) If a patient enters treatment inebriated, detoxification includes the period of \"\"sobering up\"\" while the alcohol is being metabolized. During detoxification, medications are prescribed to reduce the intensity of withdrawal signs and symptoms. Increasingly, patients are being detoxified on an outpatient basis, which is associated with more risks than inpatient detoxification. The section below on outpatient detoxification will help primary care practitioners identify and minimize these risks. Although detoxification is rarely adequate treatment for drug dependence, it is often an entry point into more definitive treatment.

Some influences -- such as a patient's overall health and response to treatment -- are not included in national statistics but play a large role in determining individual life expectancy. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Life Expectancy Statistics Life expectancy can be described by different statistics. A survival rate is the percentage of people who survive over a given period. For example, a 5-year survival rate of 25 percent means that over 5 years, 25 out of every 100 people with lung cancer will be alive. Another statistic commonly seen is a death rate, which is the number of deaths for every 100,000 people. Overall Life Expectancy The life expectancy for people with lung cancer has been improving over the past 40 years, although long-term survival remains low." }, { "docid": "D1314771#0", "title": "http://www.humankinetics.com/excerpts/excerpts/diet-affects-the-risk-of-cancer\n.", "text": "Diet affects the risk of cancer This is an excerpt from ACSM’s Guide to Exercise and Cancer Survivorship by American College of Sports Medicine. Effect of Diet An unhealthy diet could account for up to 30% of all cancers in developing countriesand perhaps 35% of cancer deaths in the United States. Hence, along with tobacco use, diet is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for cancer. Given the diverse and complex nature of the human diet, however, it is also one of the most difficult factors to study in large human populations. Numerous instruments for dietary assessment have been developed and validated. As in physical activity assessment, the choice of instrument depends largely on the intended purpose. A vast body of epidemiologic research has addressed a wide array of research questions related to cancer and diet in an attempt to disentangle individual dietary effects. Here we highlight some of the strongest associations identified thus far,although more associations will undoubtedly emerge in the future. Sugar, Fast Foods, and Other Energy-Dense Foods High-calorie foods and drinks are suspected risk factors for cancer given their contributions to weight gain, overweight, and obesity. The risks deriving from specific aspects of an energy-dense diet, however, are not as clear." }, { "docid": "D927015#0", "title": "http://www.womenscancercenter.com/info/types/ovary.html\n.", "text": "\"OVARYJeffrey L. Stern, M. D. Back to Cancer by Type Carcinoma of the ovary is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies. In many cases, it is curable when found early, but because it does not cause any symptoms in its early stages, most women have widespread disease at the time of diagnosis. Partly because of this, the mortality rate from ovarian cancer exceeds that for all other gynecologic malignancies combined. It is the fourth most frequent cause of death in women in the United States. About one in every 70 women will develop cancer of the ovary and one in every 100 women will die from it. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 26,000 cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed each year with approximately 15,000 deaths. Types The most common form of ovarian cancer arises from the cells covering the surface of the ovary and is known as epithelial carcinoma. There are five major types of this carcinoma-serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell and undifferentiated. Epithelial carcinomas are further divided into grades, according to how virulent they appear on microscopic examination. Tumors of low malignant potential, also known as borderline tumors, are the most well-differentiated malignancy (Grade 0) and account for 15 percent of all epithelial carcinomas of the ovary." }, { "docid": "D2334211#0", "title": "https://www.mesotheliomahelp.org/mesothelioma/prognosis/\nMesothelioma Prognosis & Survival Rate Information", "text": "Each mesothelioma patient is unique.

Enlightenment told the people how exactly to think, feel and behave. Neo-classicism set down hard and fast rules which the poet, playwright or artist must observe if he wanted to produce a perfect composition. The result was that rules, formulas and conventions reigned supreme in literature, in fine arts and in society generally. Romanticism was a revolt against classical restraint, intellectual discipline and artificial standards. Romanticism did not oppose everything for which the past stood as literary romanticism proceeded from neo-classicism.

The paper will examine these attitudes by utilizing primary sources such as newspapers and advice and housekeeping books and by comparing them to books written today on the topic of nineteenth century women. Many examples taken from period newspapers represent the opinion of historian Barbara Welter that attitudes of women were based on their possession of certain well?defined virtues. This paper will concentrate on the vitues of piety, purity, submissiveness and domesticity. This paper will also address the question of female education, as an issue of the period was whether a formal or practical education would accent these virtues and better prepare women for their stations in life. The attitudes represented are those of the working class. The locations concentrated on are small or medium sized towns such as Athol, Barre, Fitchburg, Millbury and Southbridge that are influenced by the city of Worcester. The sources represented are those available to the common man. They tend to exclude the feelings of the upper and lower classes.

That means that with 45,000 to 50,000 in the audience, it was 1/20 of the population that could attend at one time; tickets (pieces of broken pottery giving gate entrance and assigned seat area) must have been highly sought after, with people lining up for tickets as they do today for a world series game. Question for Goldman: How many people did it take to build the Colosseum, and how many bricks or stones did it take? ~Amanda Answer: I'm sure that the construction crews involved thousands of slaves to lift and transport the materials. I'm sure that thousands of skilled and semi-skilled workers were involved in handling the construction materials. If one adds the slaves that were working in the quarries to cut the stones, one gets at least 20,000 to 30,000 people involved. How many bricks or stones went into building the Colosseum? I have no way of making that estimate. It's something I have never counted as far as stones, but I would say that from the quarries at Tivoli, which is about 20 miles from Rome where the travertine was quarried, there were 240,000 cartloads of stones brought just for the exterior facade alone." }, { "docid": "D1617316#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_did_tribunes_protect_protect_plebeian_interests_in_roman_republic\nWere the plebeians interests protected by tribunes legions assembly of tribes consuls or the senate?", "text": "Deac AAA174A 37 Contributions Were the plebeians interests protected by tribunes legions assembly of tribes consuls or the senate?\\n Plebeians were protected by the tribunes, who were appointed justly for that.

Socrates (c. 469-399 BCE)Born in Athens around 469 BCE, Socrates lived during the period of the city's greatest cultural expansion. Son of a midwife and sculptor, he was acquainted with the intellectual elite at the court of Pericles, ruler of Athens, despite his plebian origins. As a young man, Socrates studied philosophy, establishing a familiarity with the work of earlier Greek philosophers. Heraclitus and Parmenides are thought to have been particularly influential in his education. During the Peloponnesian War, he fought in several battles and received commendation for his actions. By 423 BCE, Socrates was well-known in Athens, not so much for military distinction as for his non-traditional teaching methods. He did not keep a formal school, nor did he charge for his services. He was a popular guest at social gatherings, and could often be seen arguing against illogical reasoning and prejudice wherever people congregated.

It is also oddly addictive. Torie Bosch Torie Bosch is the editor of Future Tense, a project of Slate, New America, and Arizona State that looks at the implications of new technologies.

Their naming traditions are part of an ancient heritage and often have beautiful and interesting meanings but it can be difficult to know where to start if you have no exposure to Welsh. Please, any Welsh speakers feel free to help out and forgive any errors, I am by no means any kind of expert, nor is my Welsh very correct or extensive! I just love the language and its traditions, particularly when it comes to horses. There is of course, plenty of regional variation to be considered too, but once you have the basics of the phonetics, its fairly consistent. A simple rule of thumb - emphasis is given to the last-but-one syllable of the word, which is shown below in bold italics. So for example,my Sec D boys are: Myrddin Wyllt (Muthin' W]itht [/B] - hard 'TH' sound.. it means Wild Merlin, the Merlin of King Arthur, who was lost in the forest. and: Ysbryd ap Dafydd (Ussbrid ap Davith - hard TH) meaning Spirit, son of Dafydd and Sec A is 'Bryntwrog Butch' (Brinturrog Butch) - The prefix means the hill of Twrog and I presume the Butch is as in the English word for manly, which he is, despite his small stature!

Getty / peepoby Kimberly Powell Updated June 20, 2017With a few exceptions, hereditary surnames—the last names passed down through the male family lines—didn't exist until about 1000 years ago. While it may be hard to believe in today's world of passports and retinal scans, surnames just weren't necessary before that. The world was much less crowded than it is today, and most folks never ventured more than a few miles from their place of birth. Every man knew his neighbors, so first, or given names, were the only designations necessary. Even kings got by with a single name. During the middle ages, as families got bigger and villages got a bit more crowded, individual names became inadequate to distinguish friends and neighbors from one another. One John might be called \"\"John son of William\"\" to distinguish him from his neighbor, \"\"John the smith,\"\" or his friend \"\"John of the dale.\"\" These secondary names, weren't quite yet the surnames as we know them today, however, because they weren't passed down from father to son. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D131149#0", "title": "http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Annan\nWhat does Annan mean?", "text": "\"What does Annan mean?

Share Flipboard Email Print Have you ever wondered where your surname comes from and what it means?. Getty / peepoby Kimberly Powell Updated June 20, 2017With a few exceptions, hereditary surnames—the last names passed down through the male family lines—didn't exist until about 1000 years ago. While it may be hard to believe in today's world of passports and retinal scans, surnames just weren't necessary before that. The world was much less crowded than it is today, and most folks never ventured more than a few miles from their place of birth. Every man knew his neighbors, so first, or given names, were the only designations necessary. Even kings got by with a single name. During the middle ages, as families got bigger and villages got a bit more crowded, individual names became inadequate to distinguish friends and neighbors from one another. One John might be called \"\"John son of William\"\" to distinguish him from his neighbor, \"\"John the smith,\"\" or his friend \"\"John of the dale.\"\" These secondary names, weren't quite yet the surnames as we know them today, however, because they weren't passed down from father to son. \"\"" } ]

The audience is protected from confusion by the use of a distinct cinematic style for each section. For example, the 1966 sequences echo the movie of Woodstock using split screens and multiple angles of the same event simultaneously on screen, the 1965 sequences (set in Vietnam) shot hand-held on grainy super 16 mm film designed to resemble war reporters' footage. The film attempts to memorialize the 1960s with sequences that recreate the sense and style of those days with references to Haight-Ashbury, the campus peace movement, the beginnings of the modern woman's liberation movement and the accompanying social revolt." }, { "docid": "D277601#0", "title": "http://www.joegerstandt.com/2011/03/what-does-diversity-mean/\nWhat does diversity mean to you?", "text": "What looks like resistance is often a lack of clarity.-Chip and Dan Heath I was recently having a conversation about my work, and the senior leader that I was talking with took issue with the way in which I was using the words diversity and inclusion. I was accused of watering down diversity and doing kumbaya, feel-good presentations on diversity that failed to tackle the stuff that really matters. A core component of my work is about helping to bring clarity and consistency to the language and logic that we use in diversity and inclusion work. I always spend some of my time with groups talking about what diversity means, what the key characteristics of diversity are and doing the same thing with inclusion. I see this as incredibly important because every time I go into an organization and ask employees and leaders what diversity and inclusion are and why they matter to their organization, I hear a bunch of different stuff that does not usually even make a lot of sense. No consistency. No clarity. We might be using the same words (diversity and inclusion) but we are actually all talking about something different…I think it is very difficult to have well informed and actionable conversations when there is no common language in place.

This certification is not required in order to work as a health and safety specialist, but it can be an extremely effective resume-builder for individuals seeking careers in construction health and safety or individuals seeking advancement in a construction-related career. The exam consists of 200 multiple-choice questions that are related to the following four areas: Program Management (Approximately 58 questions)Worksite Auditing (Approximately 80 questions)Training (Approximately 54 questions)Professional Responsibility (Approximately 8 questions)The exam-taker will have four hours to complete the exam and the exam-taker will receive a pass/fail grade based on whether or not he or she makes enough correct responses to meet or exceed the threshold set by the CCHEST. The exact number of correct responses required to pass the exam varies depending on the specific version of the exam that the individual receives and the difficulty of each question included on that version of the exam. In order to register for the CHST Exam, the individual seeking certification must have a high school diploma and must be an OSHA authorized instructor or have 40 hours of classroom training related to construction health and safety or three years of construction experience. The individual will also be eligible to take the exam without meeting these requirements if the individual has an associate's degree or higher related to a health and safety field or has completed 9 semester hours of college courses related to a health and safety field. If the individual meets one of these requirements and has at least one year of work experience in a construction work environment, he or she may register for the exam by submitting an application to CCHEST and, if the application is accepted, he or she will receive instructions on how to schedule a testing date with Pearson VUE.

The Four Types Of Wedges Lofting & Gapping Bounce Grooves In a round of golf, the shots inside 100 yards could easily account for 65% of your score. The Four Types Of Wedges The gap wedge, sand wedge and lob wedge form the different categories of wedges. The most commonly used wedge, the pitching wedge, is often included in the sale of a typical set of irons while the other three types of wedges are usually sold separately. Pitching Wedge / Loft Range: 44° to 49°Golf Wedges Typically sold in a set of irons, the pitching wedge is designed to get under the ball on contact to send the ball high in the air. Pitching wedges range between 44° and 49°, and when the average player strikes the ball properly it can travel between 110 and 125 yards. Before advancing your game with the three other wedges, it's important to learn how to use the pitching wedge first.

My over active imagination often flashes back and forth between the visual of a real elephant and the lovable Disney character Dumbo- but in my case, Dumbo is some how a blue elephant. Now, I am not telling you this as a silent cry for help, nor did I share this visual with my students, but I did think it was important to do an entire class on “wallowing in complexity,” and figuring out what this meant for college writing. For me, the visual I have in my head of a happy, little blue elephant wallowing in mud, is logically tied to childhood encounters of Discovery channel shows on the elephants in Africa,splashing and playing in mud on hot days to lubricate and soothe their skins. In writing, when we allow ourselves to wallow, like the elephants we are momentarily allowing ourselves to self indulge. By wallowing in complexity, we allow ourselves to: 1. Pose problematic questions- questions that interest is as writers and as readers 2. To analyze a problem from all angles- not just right or wrong 3.

Pictures Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures Christopher Nolan's film Inception features a classic optical illusion called the Penrose staircase, which folds back upon itself in space. World-renowned puzzlemaker and LEGO constructor Eric Harshbargertakes us for a walk on the stairs. The popular film Inception provides its viewers with many twists and turns in both storytelling and visuals. From dreams within dreams and mirror-induced Droste effects to mazes and cityscapes that fold upon themselves, the movie keeps the audience engaged and continuously looking for more. With so much going on (and so much left unanswered), it is understandable that some of the details might slip by the moviegoer. One such detail is an optical illusion that is brought to the screen in the form of an ever-ascending staircase. It is introduced by Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) to Ariadne (Ellen Page) as a way to construct a never-ending dreamscape within an otherwise finite world. The moment plays out quickly, and, as with many of director Christopher Nolan's scenes, it is assumed that the audience will keep up. If it was not clear what exactly was going on, then allow me to re-introduce you to the notion of the Penrose Staircase. The illusion takes its name from a father and son duo of mathematicians, Lionel and Roger Penrose, who introduced the impossible object in a 1958 paper." } ]

Cytokinesis was one of the first cell cycle events observed by simple cell biological techniques; however, molecular characterization of cytokinesis has been slowed by its particular resistance to in vitro biochemical approaches. In recent years, the use of genetic model organisms has greatly advanced our molecular understanding of cytokinesis. While the outcome of cytokinesis is conserved in all dividing organisms, the mechanism of division varies across the major eukaryotic kingdoms. Yeasts and animals, for instance, use a contractile ring that ingresses to the cell middle in order to divide, while plant cells build new cell wall outward to the cortex. As would be expected, there is considerable conservation of molecules involved in cytokinesis between yeast and animal cells, while at first glance, plant cells seem quite different. However, in recent years, it has become clear that some aspects of division are conserved between plant, yeast, and animal cells. In this review we discuss the major recent advances in defining cytokinesis, focusing on deciding where to divide, building the division apparatus, and dividing. In addition, we discuss the complex problem of coordinating the division cycle with the nuclear cycle, which has recently become an area of intense research." }, { "docid": "D1716373#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugarit\nUgarit", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Ugarit Entrance to the Royal Palace of Ugarit Shown within Syria Alternate name Ras Shamra ( Arabic: رأس شمرة )Location Latakia Governorate, Syria Region Fertile Crescent Coordinates 35.602°N 35.782°EType settlement History Founded c. 6000 BCAbandoned c. 1190 BCPeriods Neolithic – Late Bronze Age Cultures Canaanite Events Bronze Age Collapse Site notes Excavation dates 1928–present Archaeologists Claude F.

Its ruins are often called Ras Shamra [1] after the headland where they lie. Ugarit had close connections to the Hittite Empire, sent tribute to Egypt at times, and maintained trade and diplomatic connections with Cyprus (then called Alashiya ), documented in the archives recovered from the site and corroborated by Mycenaean and Cypriot pottery found there. The polity was at its height from c. 1450 BC until its destruction in c. 1200 BC; this destruction was possibly caused by the mysterious Sea Peoples. The kingdom would be one of the many destroyed during the Bronze Age Collapse.

Ugarit was important perhaps because it was both a port and at the entrance of the inland trade route to the Euphrates and Tigris lands.

The usual guff: he’d been murdered. He was still alive. The CIA were involved.

D. is extremely limited because few attempts were made by ancient cultures to preserve music using notation systems. Iconography in music is the study of graphical representations of musical activities. Archaeologists have discovered artifacts and drawings dating to prehistoric times which depict musicians performing on various instruments. Early musical instruments have also been discovered. For example, a recent dig in the Ukraine uncovered musical instruments made from the bones of a wooly mammoth dating back to 18,000 B. C. It is likely that music evolved as a communications medium for early humans in hunter-gatherer groups. Drums and primitive horns made from shells and animal parts are used by primitive peoples even today to communicate over great distances. It is possible that early humans were impressed with the power of such communication and found the sounds to be pleasing as well. As hunter-gatherer groups evolved into agrarian cultures, music may have had a place in religious ceremonies and as a welcome rhythmic accompaniment to the tedious labor of farming. Music was almost certainly placed in a supportive role in human activities.

Proudfoot+ Author Affiliations Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3RE, United Kingdom Next Section Abstract Polyadenylation [poly (A)] signals (PAS) are a defining feature of eukaryotic protein-coding genes. The central sequence motif AAUAAA was identified in the mid-1970s and subsequently shown to require flanking, auxiliary elements for both 3′-end cleavage and polyadenylation of premessenger RNA (pre-m RNA) as well as to promote downstream transcriptional termination. More recent genomic analysis has established the generality of the PAS for eukaryotic m RNA. Evidence for the mechanism of m RNA 3′-end formation is outlined, as is the way this RNA processing reaction communicates with RNA polymerase II to terminate transcription. The widespread phenomenon of alternative poly (A) site usage and how this interrelates with pre-m RNA splicing is then reviewed. This shows that gene expression can be drastically affected by how the message is ended. A central theme of this review is that while genomic analysis provides generality for the importance of PAS selection, detailed mechanistic understanding still requires the direct analysis of specific genes by genetic and biochemical approaches. Keywords RNA polymerase II transcriptional termination cotranscriptional processingpoly (A) signal The molecular biology of eukaryotic genes has been transformed in recent years from specific knowledge of how a few eukaryotic genes are expressed to a genome-wide perspective. This has been achieved by ingenious technological advances that afford the accumulation of enormous molecular detail. However, a theme of this review is that much of our current understanding of how gene expression is regulated was laid down in early experiments on specific genes, which is now being confirmed and extended by new genomic analysis." }, { "docid": "D3171779#0", "title": "http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Shi_No_Numa\nShi No Numa", "text": "\"in: Call of Duty: World at War Zombies Maps, Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies Maps, Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies Maps Shi No Numa English Edit Share Shi No Numa World at War/Black Ops Black Ops IIIPrevious level Verrückt Next level Der Riese Game Call of Duty: World at War Call of Duty: Black Ops Call of Duty: Zombies Call of Duty: Black Ops IIICharacter \"\"Tank\"\" Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, Takeo Masaki, Edward Richtofen Team Ultimis Place Rising Sun Facility, Empire of Japan Date October 21 st, 1945 (Original Timeline)Objective Survive for as long as possible against limitless waves of the Undead Find his grave and dig it up ( Call of Duty: Zombies )Enemies Zombies, Hellhounds Console codename nazi_zombie_sumpf (World at War)zombie_cod5_sumpf (Black Ops)zm_sumpf ( Black Ops III )Multiplayer map Features of Knee Deep Campaign level Semper Fi\"\" A \"\"swamp of death\"\" located in Japanese territory, surrounded by a sweltering jungle, hellhounds, and endless armies of the undead. \"\"— Map biography Shi No Numa (Japanese: 死の沼; English: Swamp of Death) is a Zombies map featured in Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Call of Duty: Black Ops III.

History [ edit]The history of Innisfil spans a period in excess of 170 years. The Town was hewn from almost unbroken virgin forests which had been home to the Huron Indians, and was first surveyed in 1820. The area encompassed 68,653 acres (278 km²), including the villages of Allandale, Tollendal, Painswick, Minets Point, and Holly at the time. The first settlers were the Hewson and Soules families who came by way of the East Holland River and Lake Simcoe to settle at Point Endeavour that they then renamed Hewson's Point (later named Big Bay Point). The Hewsons settled on March 30, 1820, and the Soules in 1822. The Warnica family settled the following year, in 1823, in the area now known as Painswick. The first sawmill in the Township was built at Tollendal by George Mc Mullen in 1829." }, { "docid": "D1339645#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_and_agriculture\nClimate change and agriculture", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Human greenhouse gas emissions by sector, in the year 2010. \"\" AFOLU\"\" stands for \"\"agriculture, forestry, and other land use\"\".

Boyce Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbrc.2004.11.072 Get rights and content Abstract In postnatal life, the skeleton undergoes continuous remodeling in which osteoclasts resorb aged or damaged bone, leaving space for osteoblasts to make new bone. The balance of proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of bone cells determines the size of osteoclast or osteoblast populations at any given time. Bone cells constantly receive signals from adjacent cells, hormones, and bone matrix that regulate their proliferation, activity, and survival. Thus, the amount of bone and its microarchitecture before and after the menopause or following therapeutic intervention with drugs, such as sex hormones, glucocorticoids, parathyroid hormone, and bisphosphonates, is determined in part by effects of these on survival of osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes. Understanding the mechanisms and regulation of bone cell apoptosis will enhance our knowledge of bone cell function and help us to develop better therapeutics for the management of osteoporosis and other bone diseases. Previous article Next article Keywords Apoptosis Osteoclasts Osteoblasts Osteocytes Estrogen Bisphosphonates PTH Regulation Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is an essential mechanism that organisms use to remove unwanted cells to attain precise control of organ development and function. It is a form of individual cell suicide originally defined by a series of morphological changes in nuclear chromatin and cytoplasm [1,2]. Cells undergoing apoptosis contract, lose attachment to their neighbors, and break up into fragments, apoptotic bodies, which get phagocytosed quickly by neighboring cells. Apoptosis is regulated by many factors and it in turn controls cell numbers in populations of neural, mesenchymal, and epithelial cells during embryonic development, facilitates deletion of superfluous tissue, such as soft tissue between developing fingers, and accounts for some of the cell loss from regenerating epithelial surfaces in adult tissues, such as the skin and alimentary tract (see recent reviews. [ 3–7] ). In this review, we will briefly describe the general features and molecular regulation of apoptosis and because of space limitations focus on its regulation in osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes, its significance for bone remodeling and its importance in the etiology and treatment of common bone diseases." }, { "docid": "D3558988#0", "title": "http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Fentanyl\nFentanyl", "text": "\"Assessment | Biopsychology | Comparative | Cognitive | Developmental | Language | Individual differences | Personality | Philosophy | Social | Methods | Statistics | Clinical | Educational | Industrial | Professional items | World psychology |Biological: Behavioural genetics · Evolutionary psychology · Neuroanatomy · Neurochemistry · Neuroendocrinology · Neuroscience · Psychoneuroimmunology · Physiological Psychology · Psychopharmacology ( Index, Outline )Fentanyl chemical structure Fentanyl N - (1- (2-phenylethyl)-4-piperidinyl)- N -phenyl-propanamide IUPAC name CAS number437-38-7ATC code N01 AH01 .

It is one of the most powerful opioid analgesics, with a potency approximately 80 times that of heroin and hundreds of times that of morphine. [ 1] Fentanyl has an LD 50 of 3.1 milligrams per kilogram in rats and 0.03 milligrams per kilogram in monkeys. The LD 50 in humans, by intravenous injection in an opiate-naive individual (without tolerance), is approximated to be 0.5-1 milligrams. It is classified as a Schedule II drug in the United States due to its high abuse rate. In October 2002, the Russian military reportedly used \"\"a fentanyl derivative\"\" against terrorists holding hostages in a Moscow theater. [ 1]Contents [ show]History Edit Fentanyl was first synthesized by Paul Janssen under the label of his relatively newly formed Janssen Pharmaceutica in 1959. In the 1960s, fentanyl was introduced as an intravenous anesthetic under the trade name of Sublimaze. In the mid-1990s, Janssen Pharmaceutica developed and introduced into clinical trials the Duragesic patch, which is a formation of an inert alcohol gel infused with select fentanyl doses which are worn to provide constant administration of the opioid over a period of 48 to 72 hours." } ]

If you find that you have additional questions, please ask them! We look forward to adding your questions to the following. Why is professional recare important? Preventing disease is an important part of dental service, perhaps the most important.

The major focus is on Implant Prosthodontics and Treatment Planning. The required materials are presented in a way that allows time for each preceptor to view actual laboratory and clinical cases as he/she chooses. The basic curriculum is augmented by the availability of graduate and predoctoral dental courses, which may be audited by the qualified preceptor, allowing each participant to customize his/her experience. Preceptors will find a very dynamic form of education that does not focus on the dogmatic lecture hall presentation, but instead follows a more intimate seminar-type atmosphere that encourages a cutting edge exchange of ideas. The education attained is limited only by the participant’s willingness to seek out the experiences he/she desires. A seasonal breakdown of the focus areas of the curriculum has been established.

Prosthodontics care is provided by general dentists or prosthodontists who are referred to as prosthodontics specialists that specialize in replacement of teeth as well as aesthetic restoration. After dental school, prosthodontists receive 2 or 3 years of additional training. These are the right people who can make it possible for someone to have a more beautiful smile. Prosthodontists are also required to have an additional training and this can be obtained through a university-based program or hospital that is accredited by ADA otherwise known as the American Dental Association.

By Robert Kreyer, CDTToday’s uncertain economic climate coupled with a larger aging population has produced a surge in demand for immediate complete dentures. This treatment is both one of the most challenging and rewarding in removable prosthodontics. There are two methods for providing clinical and technical treatment for complete immediate denture prosthetics—one is to use the immediate denture as an interim or provisional prosthesis and the other is to treat the immediate complete denture as the definitive prosthesis and then reline after surgical healing and ridge resorption. The first method allows fabrication of the definitive denture at a later date after surgical healing, enabling the technician to reset denture teeth according to ridge resorption and improve anterior esthetics. This approach is optimal, but dental professionals are not always presented with optimal situations or expectations. When financial considerations are paramount, the second option usually best meets the patient’s budget and treatment outcome expectations. Other indications for immediate complete denture prosthetics as an interim or provisional prosthesis include precision restorations such as implant-retained and -supported prosthetics. With immediate dentures, it is very common to decrease labial flare, straighten teeth, and increase vertical dimension, thus improving a patient’s esthetic smile immediately upon insertion of the prosthesis. The clinician and technician have the opportunity to improve existing anterior esthetics with posterior function while still meeting a patient’s financial expectations or restrictions." }, { "docid": "D1259529#0", "title": "http://www.dentaleconomics.com/articles/print/volume-94/issue-10/columns/from-the-laboratory/valplast-flexible-aesthetic-partial-dentures.html\nValplast: Flexible, aesthetic partial dentures", "text": "\"Valplast: Flexible, aesthetic partial dentures October 1, 2004Michael Di Tolla, DDS, FAGDLike many other topics in dental school, removable partial dentures were taught in a rather dogmatic fashion. Design and function were stressed, as they should be, but—for the most part—esthetic issues were ignored. Rather conspicuous clasps, such as I-bars, were placed on maxillary cuspids without a lot of thought given towards how this would affect the patients' opinion and confidence in a given prosthesis. Upon entering private practice, many of us learned that patients would sometimes simply refuse to wear unesthetic partials, unless they replaced maxillary anterior teeth. In those early days I cut off more I-bars than I care to remember and replaced them with a soldered clasp that did not work as well, but could not be seen from 50 feet when the patient smiled. With the rapid advances in esthetic materials and techniques in the fixed prosthodontic arena, it is no wonder that patients requiring removable prosthesis expect us to achieve esthetic results when we replace their missing teeth. Partially or fully edentulous patients comprise nearly half of the aging population, and this group is projected to triple by the year 2010, ensuring that removable prosthodontics will continue to be part of the general dentist's restorative practice for decades to come.

Following graduation from dental school, a person who wants to become a prosthodontist typically goes on to complete two or three years of training in prosthodontics. A prosthodontist is a person who specializes in replacing teeth, jaws, and other parts of the mouth with artificial structures. Many people are most familiar with prosthodontists' work replacing teeth with dentures, but this is only one of the types of replacements this professional provides.

( October 2017)A dental prosthesis is an intraoral (inside the mouth) prosthesis used to restore (reconstruct) intraoral defects such as missing teeth, missing parts of teeth, and missing soft or hard structures of the jaw and palate. Prosthodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on dental prostheses. Such prostheses are used to rehabilitate mastication (chewing), improve aesthetics, and aid speech. A dental prosthesis may be held in place by connecting to teeth or dental implants, by suction, or by being held passively by surrounding muscles. Like other types of prostheses, they can either be fixed permanently or removable; fixed prosthodontics and removable dentures are made in many variations. Permanently fixed dental prostheses use dental adhesive or screws, to attach to teeth or dental implants. Removal prostheses may use friction against parallel hard surfaces and undercuts of adjacent teeth or dental implants, suction using the mucous retention (with or without aid from denture adhesives), and by exploiting the surrounding muscles and anatomical contours of the jaw to passively hold in place." }, { "docid": "D2121065#0", "title": "http://www.prevention.com/health/health-concerns/8-signs-you-might-need-dentures\n8 Signs You Might Need Dentures", "text": "\"8 Signs You Might Need Dentures1/9Dentures?

Helvey, DDSClinicians have much to consider when selecting an elastomeric dental impression material. Before such a material can be brought to market it must first fulfill the criteria of the American Dental Association Specification No. 19, which states that the material must be able to reproduce fine detail of 25 microns or less. Other criteria for the material’s mechanical properties include consistency, permanent deformation, strain in compression, flow, shore hardness, and tear strength. 1 These guidelines can be further sub-categorized into other physical and mechanical properties. What are these various properties, and what should a clinician look for in an impression material—of which there are some 600 brands 2? Hondrum 3 stated that accuracy, dimensional stability, and tear strength (elastic recovery) are the most critical properties. Wettability, or wetting, which is a material’s ability to spread over a surface, 4 strongly affects the accuracy of an impression material. The ability of a liquid material to wet a solid surface is measured by the contact angle—the lower the contact angle, the more hydrophilic the material. Contact angle measurements that define wettability are made mostly on impression material in a static, unchanging state; changes occur in the contact angle during the setting of impression materials." }, { "docid": "D930216#0", "title": "http://www.ada.org/education-careers/careers-in-dentistry/dental-specialties/specialty-definitions\nSpecialty Definitions", "text": "Specialty Definitions Definitions of Recognized Dental Specialties Approved by the Council on Dental Education and Licensure, American Dental Association Dental Public Health: Dental public health is the science and art of preventing and controlling dental diseases and promoting dental health through organized community efforts.

Leinfelder, DDS, MS; Douglas A. Terry, DDS; and Mark E. Connelly, DDSMastering the art of complete or partial dentures requires developing a balance between function, comfort, and esthetics. 1 Although the fabrication of complete denture prostheses is somewhat complex, requiring multiple detailed procedures, the result can be generally quite acceptable. Many times after prosthetic completion an imbalance in these three criteria can occur over time. Gradual physiologic changes of the soft tissues as well as resorption of the underlying osseous structure can cause the denture to lose its original stability and retention. 2 Assuming that the occlusal and vertical dimensions of the denture are acceptable, it is possible to regain tissue adaptation and retention of the supporting structures by relining the denture base. This can be achieved through an indirect technique in the laboratory or directly in the patient’s mouth. The indirect technique includes the generation of an impression, stone cast, and then applying new denture base material to the internal aspect of the denture. The direct method of denture relining is accomplished by means of making an intraoral impression within the denture using a chairside lining material that bonds to the inner surface of the denture. 3-5Each of these methods poses potential challenges. The indirect technique is performed in a laboratory with special curing equipment, which means that the patient must go without the denture for a period of time." }, { "docid": "D257437#0", "title": "http://dictionary.sensagent.com/dental%20restoration/en-en/\nDental restorationupdate", "text": "\"Dental restorationupdate Dental restoration Intervention ICD-9-CM 23.2 - 23.4A dental restoration or dental filling is a dental restorative material used to restore the function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure.

When the green stickers are issued (and the current and future white ones) I know that HOV lanes will be able to be used, but the bigger question i have is about Toll roads that are also HOV. I know down near me the I-15 Express Lanes are Sometimes HOV only, and sometimes HOV toll. They say that vehicles with the HOV sticker can simply enter at any time for free and no toll applies. In the Bay area across the bridges in the HOV lanes, there is a discounted Toll for HOV stickered cars. Does every Toll road in california have their own specific rules if you are allowed to use the toll road free if you have HOV stickers? What about the ones in Orange County?#1usdmattiphone, Feb 11, 2012Rob HSenior Member Joined: Sep 18, 20062,100 731 62Location: Sunnyvale, California Vehicle: 2006 Prius Adding to the questions...

Say It Ain't So... Was having a discussion with a forman today. With respect to a complete rewire in a gutted 40'X100' office building. While I don't particularly do too much commercial work, I know that it should be done...or at least I do that sort of work with FMC or NMT for all the conductors.

Type 3-4-or 5 building. 15 minutes and while Romex can be visible, cannot be in a place where it can get damaged. I had actually already known that, but I was looking for some magical code refference with respect to commercial applications.

It is the second most important economic centre of mainland Southern Italy after Naples, a port and university city, as well as the city of Saint Nicholas. The city itself has a population of 326,799, as of 2015, over 116 square kilometres (45 sq mi), while the urban area has 700,000 inhabitants. The metropolitan area has 1.3 million inhabitants. Bari is made up of four different urban sections. To the north is the closely built old town on the peninsula between two modern harbours, with the Basilica of Saint Nicholas, the Cathedral of San Sabino (1035–1171) and the Hohenstaufen Castle built for Frederick II, which is now also a major nightlife district. To the south is the Murat quarter (erected by Joachim Murat ), the modern heart of the city, which is laid out on a rectangular grid-plan with a promenade on the sea and the major shopping district (the via Sparano and via Argiro ). Modern residential zones surrounding the centre of Bari were built during the 1960s and 1970s replacing the old suburbs that had developed along roads splaying outwards from gates in the city walls. In addition, the outer suburbs developed rapidly during the 1990s." }, { "docid": "D3064003#0", "title": "https://www.livingthenourishedlife.com/21-home-remedies-for-migraines-and/\n21 Home Remedies that WORK for Headaches (and Even Migraines!)", "text": "Home » Latest Posts » Uncategorized » 21 Home Remedies that WORK for Headaches (and Even Migraines! ) By Elizabeth W.21 Home Remedies that WORK for Headaches (and Even Migraines! ) If you’re here, you’re probably looking for natural remedies for migraines and headaches.

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Bearded dragons are prone to impaction of their digestive system, and the chitinous exoskeletons of insect prey can cause problems. This is especially true of crunchy bugs like mealworms, so it is best to feed these in limited quantities, especially to juveniles. Feeding insects right after a molt will help reduce the chance of an impaction as the exoskeletons are not as tough. Crickets also should not be too large, especially for baby bearded dragons (a rule of thumb: feed nothing bigger than the distance between the bearded dragons eyes). Once bearded dragons become adults, you can offer a wider range of insects such as waxworms, silkworms, butterworms, red worms, earthworms, and newly molted mealworms and superworms. However, these should be considered \"\"treats\"\" with crickets still making up the bulk of the diet. Pinkie mice can also be offered to adults occasionally. Juveniles should be fed insects more often than adults." }, { "docid": "D783354#0", "title": "https://www.crystalvaults.com/crystal-encyclopedia/quartz\nQuartz Meanings and Uses", "text": "\"The Crystal Vaults Comprehensive Illustrated Guide to Crystals Your On-Line Guide to The Healing Energies, Metaphysical Properties,Legendary Uses, and Meaningof Clear Quartz Introduction to Meaning and Uses of Clear Quartz Ordinary yet extraordinary, colorful and clear, Quartz crystals are the most common and abundant in the world, comprising the largest and most diverse family in the mineral kingdom. \"\" From ancient times to the present day, quartz crystals have been a source of Light to mankind.

Link (1816)Cladosporium is a genus of fungi including some of the most common indoor and outdoor molds. Species produce olive-green to brown or black colonies, and have dark-pigmented conidia that are formed in simple or branching chains. Many species of Cladosporium are commonly found on living and dead plant material. Some species are plant pathogens, others parasitize other fungi. Cladosporium spores are wind-dispersed and they are often extremely abundant in outdoor air. Indoors Cladosporium species may grow on surfaces when moisture is present. Cladosporium fulvum, cause of tomato leaf mould, has been an important genetic model, in that the genetics of host resistance are understood. [ 2] In the 1960s, it was estimated that the genus Cladosporium contained around 500 plant-pathogenic and saprotrophic species, [3] but this number has since been increased to over 772 species.

Areas of the country with a lot of moisture such as Florida, Oregon, Texas and Louisiana often experience infestations of milder molds like helminthosporium and cladosporium. However, even milder forms of household mold have been blamed for many health problems, including chronic sinus infections, upper respiratory infections and an increase in asthma cases. The amount of mold required to initiate symptoms varies greatly from person to person and is dependent upon your respiratory system or immune system. Though not all household mold is toxic to humans, there are several strains that are associated with serious illnesses and health risks.

Sampling resulted in 110 microbial isolates, identified as eight fungal genera, three bacterial genera, one actinomycetes genus and six algae. Isolated strains were all identified up to species. The inhibitory effect of five antimicrobial agents at various concentrations was investigated against the growth and development of these microbial isolates. Sodium azide at 100 ppm was found to be the best treatment for both fungal and bacterial isolates. Colored spots, caused by microbial growth, were treated by different synthetic and natural chemical substances. Results showed also that microbial enzymes produced by Aspergillus flavus isolate was the best decolorization treatment.

( Response from Dr. Robert Bush:)As you are aware, fungal allergenic extracts for diagnostic (much less therapeutic) use are limited by variability in composition, lack of standardization, and frequent cross-reactivity. Also changes in nomenclature adds to the confusion. Here are my suggestions for a general screening panel (prick skin testing): Alternaria alternata Aspergillus fumigatus Penicillium chrysogenum (notatum) Cladosporium herbarum , C. cladosporiodes , C.sphaerospermum [Hormodendrum hordei] ( consider mix) Drechslera (Curvularia) spicifera or Bipolaris sorokiniana (Helminthosporium sativum) possibly Epicoccum nigrum For the expanded panel: Fusarium species- solani, vasoinfectum,moniliforme (consider mix) Mucor racemosus Aureobasidium (Pullularia) pullulans Aspergillus species -flavus, niger (consider mix) Trichophyton tonsurans Chaetonium globosum +/- Candida albicans Phoma and Stemphyllium share allergens with Alternaria. Aspergillus and Penicillium have cross-reactive allergens I think this would be a reasonable approach. IT with fungi is another story, with limited published. Questions/Comments: We recently switched to another major extract supplier. Problem: None of the three main companies have all the species and our group wishes to stick with one supplier. Where you have suggested a mix I will list our choices: 1) Cladosporoides: C. cladopsorides and C. sphaerospermium but no herbarum available. Should I test just to C.

Fungi decompose organic waste and are essential for recycling of carbon and minerals in our ecosystem. It has been estimated that fungi recycle millions of tons of organic waste annually. There are thousands of different fungi in the world which are essential for the survival of other organisms. In addition, mushrooms and other fleshy fungi are a food source for many animals, including humans. Health effects of fungal spores Many fungal spores contain allergens which can trigger a range of respiratory symptoms in those susceptible. These symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, mucous production, cough, congestion, sinusitis, earache, headache, wheezing, asthma and a range of bronchial symptoms and diseases. It is estimated that around 3-4% of the general population get allergy symptoms from fungal spores, including the majority of asthma sufferers. Many fungal spore types have similar allergens which are released at different times of the year. This means that sufferers of fungal spore allergies are likely to be sensitive to many types for large parts of the year." }, { "docid": "D1732059#0", "title": "https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Cladosporium_sphaerospermum\nCladosporium sphaerospermum", "text": "Cladosporium sphaerospermum.

Bread flour is derived directly from wheat, Triticum aesitivum. The seed of wheat is botanically referred to as a caryopsis. Unlike many other plant species where vegetative reproduction is possible, reproduction in wheat is restricted to seed, following a process of self-pollination between the male anthers and female stigma. The resulting seed is then harvested for processing into nutritional substrate or used for propagation purposes. This article explores the most important factors affecting germination which is the first and most critical process during propagation by means of seed. From a producer’s perspective, successful seed germination and subsequent seedling establishment is seen as a first step towards economically feasible wheat production. Although initial input costs are linked to the acquisition of genetically sound seed, several other factors may also affect the process of germination. This process is complex and can be affected at different stages by many interacting factors such as temperature, water availability, oxygen, light, substrate, maturity of the seed and physiological age of the seed.

Some mold species are relatively benign when exposed to people, while other species can cause more serious health problems that range from infections to extreme allergic reactions and toxic poisoning. In broader terms molds are microscopic fungi that sustain themselves on many different surfaces all over the environment. Molds spread by producing tiny spores that can infiltrate almost any space, from where they reproduce and spread under the right conditions. These spores determine what color the particular mold species will assume.

Posted by Jeffrey Kelly in Georgia Bankruptcy A writ of FI FA (writ of fieri facias) is a document that is issued by your local county clerk’s office for the purpose of recording a lien on your house after a creditor obtains a judgment against you. In addition to putting a lien on your house, a Fi Fa can be used to seize your personal assets. A Fi Fa can also be used to perfect a lien on your automobile. Think of it as a monstrous octopus that can put its arms around everything you own. If you ignore the Fi Fa on your house, it will accrue interest at the judgment rate. In other words, the monstrous octopus will grow larger. Whenever you sell your house, the Fi Fa will have to be paid before ownership can transfer to another person. The good news is that Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be used to avoid a judicial lien to the extent it impairs your exemption. Let me give you an example of a Chatsworth client that was freaking out because they received a copy of a Fi Fa (or writ of fieri facias) in the mail." }, { "docid": "D2280177#0", "title": "http://ginter-siding-and-windows.us/estworksheet.htm\n.", "text": "\"Estimating Your Siding Costs by Calculating Your Exterior Square Footage Simple Method | Detailed Method | Our Very Detailed Method Detailed Method for Calculating Your Exterior Square Footage Equations | Directions | Example This information sheet is for estimating your siding costs.

Soffits cover the bottom of the fascia to the outside wall of the house, and typically are perforated for ventilation. Fascia and soffits protect the house from moisture and weather damage, but not all houses have these features. Some architectural styles have open eaves and therefore no soffits, and a few have no fascia boards across the ends of the rafters, behind the gutters. The Weather Tight remodeling company in Wisconsin provides an illustrated overview [ 1] . Typical costs: Professionally installed soffits and fascias typically cost $6-$10 a linear foot for wood or vinyl, and $8-$20 or more a linear foot for aluminum, but costs can be more in some circumstances -- for a multi-story home with a high roofline, if the soffits are wider than the common 12\"\"-16\"\" or if there are a lot of mitered corners (cut so they meet on an angle). For a simple one-story home with roughly 200'-300' linear feet of soffits and fascias, the installed cost could be $600-$2,000 for wood or vinyl, and $800-$6,000 or more for aluminum. Do-it-yourself installation is possible for those who are comfortable cutting materials to size and working on a ladder or platform to install soffits and fascia under the eaves of the house. Costs will vary significantly depending on the materials chosen. Pressure treated wood or vinyl soffits and fascias can cost $1-$5 or more a linear foot; aluminum can cost $2.50-$15 or more a linear foot." }, { "docid": "D2681264#0", "title": "http://community.screwfix.com/threads/combi-boilers-can-they-go-in-a-loft.62428/\nCombi Boilers - Can they go in a loft?", "text": "\"Home Forums > Screwfix Community Forum > Plumbers' Talk >Combi Boilers - Can they go in a loft?

You may be coping with an injury to the main ligament in your foot – the plantar fascia. This strong, elastic ligament spans the bottom of your foot from the heel bone to the ball. It’s designed to allow you to flex your feet and it supports the spring in your step as you walk. There are six common injuries this vital ligament can sustain. By reading the following, simple summaries, you’ll be able to ascertain if a plantar fascia injury may be the cause of your pain, and you’ll find helpful links for further reading, too. Plantar Fascia Tears When undue strain is placed on the plantar fascia ligament, the fabric of its stretchy tissue can become weakened and small tears can develop. The source of the strain could include weight gain, an anatomical problem that causes you to walk unevenly on your feet, wearing ill-fitting shoes, high-impact sports like running or the normal aging process which can decrease the elasticity of your ligaments. If small tears and inflammation are accompanied by heel pain, particularly morning heel pain, chances are good that you’ve developed a condition known as Plantar Fasciitis.

Nulla bona is a Latin term that, literally translated, means \"\"no goods. \"\" It is used in a legal context in relation to goods being seized to fulfill debt repayment by bailiffs tasked by the court to seize such for payment. If the bailiff or sheriff cannot find any goods of value to seize and sell to repay the debt, the term \"\"nulla bona\"\" will be written on the warrant that was issued to the bailiff to collect or seize the goods. Justipedia explains Nulla Bona In order for goods to be collected by a bailiff against a debt, a seizure writ must be issued against goods that hold a minimum individual value. This writ is called a \"\"writ of fieri facias.\"\" The ability to collect debt money in this way is most commonly used in Western Europe. It is rarely seen in use within the United States, although some states have legalized it. Nulla bona can also be claimed by a garnishee in circumstances where they believe that they do not owe a debtor money, or do not possess property that can be seized to pay a debt with a writ of fieri facias. However, if a debtor does have property that can be seized to pay a debt, then it is typically seized if a writ of fieri facias has been issued. \"" }, { "docid": "D865368#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writ\nWrit", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Writ (disambiguation). In common law, a writ (Anglo-Saxon gewrit, Latin breve) [1] is a formal written order issued by a body with administrative or judicial jurisdiction; in modern usage, this body is generally a court. Warrants, prerogative writs, and subpoenas are common types of writ, but many forms exist and have existed. In its earliest form a writ was simply a written order made by the English monarch to a specified person to undertake a specified action; for example, in the feudal era a military summons by the king to one of his tenants-in-chief to appear dressed for battle with retinue at a certain place and time. [ 2] An early usage survives in the United Kingdom and Canada in a writ of election, which is a written order issued on behalf of the monarch (in Canada, the Governor General) to local officials ( High Sheriffs of every county in the historical UK) to hold a general election. Writs were used by the medieval English kings to summon persons to Parliament, [3] (then consisting primarily of the House of Lords) whose advice was considered valuable or who were particularly influential, and who were thereby deemed to have been created \"\" barons by writ \"\".

[ 4] Written in the vernacular, they generally made a land grant, or conveyed instructions to a local court. In the beginning, writs were the document issued by the King's Chancellor against a landowner whose vassal complained to the King about an injustice, after a first summon by the sheriff to comply had been deemed fruitless. [ 5] William the Conqueror took over the system unchanged, but was to extend it in two ways: first, writs became mainly framed in Latin, not Anglo-Saxon; second, they covered an increasing range of royal commands and decisions.

Some type of water source should be available every mile or so. Enough area with appropriate plants should be available to support a viable population.

In Europe, they cover much of Scandinavia and the coast of the Baltic Sea and are found on the primary mountain ranges--the Alps, the Vosges, and the Carpathians. In North America, coniferous forests stretch across the northern part of the continent from Alaska to Newfoundland; down into Washington, Oregon, and California; and along the Cascades, the Sierra Nevadas, and the Rocky Mountains. In the Southern Hemisphere, they are found in Mexico, along the western coast of South America, in parts of Argentina and Brazil, in parts of the Australasia region, and in portions of Africa.

Thumbing through the official tourist publication available on the flight, my “dogdar” drew me to an article about Potcake adoption and rescue. Potcakes are the native dogs of the Turks and Bahamas islands. The name comes from the practice of feeding dogs the residual hard cooked rice, peas, fat, and meat from the bottom of a flame cooked stew pot. These leftover hard chunks are called potcakes, and thus the island dogs and their traditional food source became synonymous." }, { "docid": "D2048225#0", "title": "http://www.tvguide.com/news/true-blood-forbes-1007953/\nTrue Blood 's Michelle Forbes on Maryann: She's Not a Villain", "text": "\"Today’s News True Blood 's Michelle Forbes on Maryann: She's Not a Villain By Mickey O'Connor | Jul 13, 2009 11:22 AM EDTMichelle Forbes, True Blood Sunday's revealing episode of True Blood confirmed for us that the bull-headed monster who is stalking Bon Temps' ladies and Maryann are one and the same!

Most places weeds are going to be found are in gardens, cropland, roadsides, waste areas (areas not being used for industry, recreation, urban development, farming or grazing), lawns, flower beds, etc. There are possibly millions of plant species that are considered weeds, regardless if they have some beneficial properties or not. Not all weeds are introduced, invasive species, many are also native to the location they are growing in. What makes them \"\"invaders\"\" is when they take over patches of land and dominate that area, pushing out other more desirable plants--primarily ornamentals or those grown for food or animal feed--in the process. They will compete with more \"\"desirable\"\" species for nutrients, sunlight and moisture to grow. Generally three categories of weeds exist: Grass and Grass-likes, Broad-leaf or Forbs, and Woody plants.

They are found in all counties where suitable habitat occurs. Habitat types vary considerable in the ecological regions of Northcentral Texas but generally consist of a mosaic of brush, woodlands, rangelands, agricultural croplands, and riparian zones with adequate sources of surface water. Carrying capacity of habitat for white-tailed deer is most influenced by land use, livestock grazing practices, hunting pressure, and site specific features such as soil types, plant communities, topography, and land size. Larger land holdings with suitable habitat offer land managers greater opportunity to manage populations of white-tailed deer and regulate harvest. Excessive hunting pressure, overgrazing or over-browsing by livestock, habitat modifications (large scale brush control and spraying of herbicides), conversion of native rangelands to improved grasses for livestock grazing, urbanization, and drought are limiting factors that most influence white-tailed deer populations in Northcentral Texas. Almost all white-tailed deer found in Northcentral Texas occur on privately owned properties. Proper habitat management to support populations of white-tailed deer and other native wildlife species by landowners is fundamental to their reproduction and survival. White-tailed deer live in populations of interacting individuals that may live and die on several individually owned tracts of land.

Fruits, bulbs, plant bases, and roots also are consumed. Both browsing and grazing are practiced, but elephants tend to take plant types in proportion to their availability. Browsing is commonly defined as consumption of forbs and the tender shoots, twigs, and leaves of trees and shrubs, whereas grazing is the consumption of grasses and sedges. Free-ranging African elephants select relatively young plant parts if food supplies are not excessively restricted by drought, overpopulation, or habitat degradation. ELEPHANT ANATOMYOne of the most obvious and unique physical features of the elephant is its elongated upper lip and nose, forming a muscular trunk capable of reaching from ground level to high branches in its search for food. Although strong enough to lift an entire tree, the trunk is delicately prehensile and can be used to pick a single grass inflorescence.

S. C. §1 19 (e) of U. S.5 Provisional Application No. 61/370,171 , filed on August 3, 2010, the entire disclosureof which is incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to pharmaceutical combinations and methods for their0 use. In particular, the invention relates to pharmaceutical combinations comprising abeta-3 adrenergic receptor agonist and a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist (hereinafter referred to as 'muscarinic receptor antagonist'), and to methods of using such combinations in the treatment of one or more symptoms associated with overactive bladder, for example, frequency of urgency, nocturia, and5 urinary incontinence. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe International Continence Society (ICS) has defined overactive bladder (OAB) as a symptom complex of urgency, with or without urge incontinence, accompanied by0 frequency and nocturia. The symptoms of overactive bladder are usually associatedwith involuntary contractions of the detrusor (bladder) muscle thus creating a state of bladder hyperactivity. OAB is commonly classified into subtypes including neurogenic, idiopathic, and outlet obstruction. Neurogenic OAB is attributed to coexisting neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis,5 spinal cord injury or stroke. The underlying pathophysiology is the interruption of theotherwise orderly control of micturition, resulting in the symptom complex described above. The cause of idiopathic OAB is not as well defined; alterations in signalling within the bladder have been implicated." }, { "docid": "D3375504#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrations\nConcentration", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Concentrations)navigation search For other uses, see Concentration (disambiguation).

Though it garners few public headlines, carbonic acid, the hydrated form of carbon dioxide, is critical to both the health of the atmosphere and the human body. However, because it exists for only a fraction of a second before changing into a mix of hydrogen and bicarbonate ions, carbonic acid has remained an enigma. A new study by Berkeley Lab researchers has yielded valuable new information about carbonic acid with important implications for both geological and biological concerns. Richard Saykally, a chemist with Berkeley Lab’s Chemical Sciences Division and a professor of chemistry at the University of California (UC) Berkeley, led a study that produced the first X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements for aqueous carbonic acid. These XAS measurements, which were obtained at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source (ALS), were in strong agreement with supercomputer predictions obtained at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC). The combination of theoretical and experimental results provides new and detailed insights into the hydration properties of aqueous carbonic acid that should benefit the development of carbon sequestration and mitigation technologies, and improve our understanding of how carbonic acid regulates the p H of blood. “Our results support an average hydration number of 3.17 with the acid’s two protons each donating a strong hydrogen bond to solvating waters, the carbonyl oxygen accepting a strong hydrogen bond from solvating water, and the hydroxyl oxygen molecules accepting weak hydrogen bonds from the water,” says Saykally. “ XAS data must be interpreted by comparing measurements to results from a calculated spectrum, which is a serious challenge. The strong agreement between our calculated and observed X-ray spectra is a new and significant achievement." }, { "docid": "D289760#0", "title": "http://www.definitions.net/definition/solvate\nDefinitions &Translations", "text": "\"Princeton's Word Net (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition:solvate (verb)a compound formed by solvation (the combination of solvent molecules with molecules or ions of the solute)solvate (verb)cause a solvation in (a substance)solvate (verb)undergo solvation or convert into a solvate Wiktionary (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition:solvate (Noun)A complex formed by the attachment of solvent molecules to that of a solutesolvate (Verb)To form such a complex upon solution Numerology Chaldean Numerology The numerical value of solvate in Chaldean Numerology is: 2Pythagorean Numerology The numerical value of solvate in Pythagorean Numerology is: 4Images & Illustrations of solvate Translations for solvate From our Multilingual Translation Dictionarysolvater Frenchsolvatare Italian Get even more translations for solvate »Translation Find a translation for the solvate definition in other languages: Select another language: Discuss these solvate definitions with the community: Word of the Day Would you like us to send you a FREE new word definition delivered to your inbox daily?

This type of micelle is known as a normal-phase micelle (oil-in-water micelle). Inverse micelles have the head groups at the centre with the tails extending out (water-in-oil micelle). Micelles are approximately spherical in shape. Other phases, including shapes such as ellipsoids, cylinders, and bilayers, are also possible. The shape and size of a micelle are a function of the molecular geometry of its surfactant molecules and solution conditions such as surfactant concentration, temperature, p H, and ionic strength.

We will discuss the two parameters that control the nature and behavior of every system in which one phase is dispersed in another phase. The phases are the disperse phase (for the phase forming the particles) and the dispersion medium (for the fluid in which the particles are distributed). The two parameters are the extent of the interface and the interfacial chemistry of the disperse phase. The physical nature of any dispersion depends on the respective roles of the constituent phases. There are numerous examples of dispersed systems, including foams (gas-in-liquid), emulsions (liquid-in-liquid), and aerosols (solid- or liquid-in-gas), that have found application in pharmaceutics. We will focus on the most widely-formulated type of dispersion, viz suspensions (solid-in-liquid). The physico-mechanical and physicochemical characteristics that constitute the two respective fundamental parameters are summarized in Table 1. The interfacial chemistry is often a neglected parameter in pharmaceutical applications even though in formulation of suspensions, it is as or more important than the interfacial extent. The ZP (symbol ζ) is related to the surface charge, a property that all materials possess, or acquire, when suspended in a fluid." }, { "docid": "D2011137#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hydronium\nTalk:Hydronium", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Chemistry portal This article is within the scope of Wiki Project Chemistry, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of chemistry on Wikipedia.

When the solvent is water it is often referred to as a hydration shell or hydration sphere. The number of solvent molecules surrounding each unit of solute is called the hydration number of the solute. A classic example is when water molecules arrange around a metal ion. For example, if the latter were a cation, the electronegative oxygen atom of the water molecule would be attracted electrostatically to the positive charge on the metal ion. The result is a solvation shell of water molecules that surround the ion. This shell can be several molecules thick, dependent upon the charge of the ion, its distribution and spatial dimensions.

Hydrophobic residues predominantly occur in the globular protein core, but some exist in patches on the surface. Proteins that have high hydrophobic amino acid content on the surface have low solubility in an aqueous solvent. Charged and polar surface residues interact with ionic groups in the solvent and increase the solubility of a protein. Knowledge of a protein's amino acid composition will aid in determining an ideal precipitation solvent and methods.

[ 1] The result of an interaction between the radiation and the absorbing species is removal of an electron from an atom or molecular bond to form radicals and excited species. The radical species then proceed to react with each other or with other molecules in their vicinity. It is the reactions of the radical species that are responsible for the changes observed following irradiation of a chemical system. [ 2]Charged radiation species (α and β particles) interact through Coulombic forces between the charges of the electrons in the absorbing medium and the charged radiation particle. These interactions occur continuously along the path of the incident particle until the kinetic energy of the particle is sufficiently depleted. Uncharged species (γ photons, x-rays) undergo a single event per photon, totally consuming the energy of the photon and leading to the ejection of an electron from a single atom.

First appearing in the Sunday comics way back in 1897, the Katzenjammers are still kicking around in syndication today, making them the longest-running comic strip in history. That is the short version of the story, for the longer version is a bit more complicated. Created by Rudolph Dirks, the artist was the caretaker of the twins until 1912. Requesting a sabbatical long before the eras in which they were granted, William Randolph Hearst decided to continue running the popular strip in his New York Journal under the steady hand of Dirks’ assistant, H. H. Kerr. Miffed at each other, Dirks and Hearst locked horns in a series of court battles to see who ultimately controlled the twins. In a confusing set of rulings, the courts awarded Dirks the right to continue his strip in a competing newspaper, but he had to rename it first." }, { "docid": "D1403461#0", "title": "http://www.dictionary.com/browse/dough\ndough", "text": "\"dough [doh]Spell Syllables Examples Word Origin See more synonyms on Thesaurus.comnoun1. flour or meal combined with water, milk, etc., in a mass for baking into bread, cake, etc. ; paste of bread.2. any similar soft, pasty mass.3.

It is made by placing an uncooked filling, typically meat and vegetables, on one half of a flat shortcrust pastry circle, folding the pastry in half to wrap the filling in a semicircle and crimping the curved edge to form a seal before baking. The traditional Cornish pasty, which since 2011 has Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in Europe, [2] is filled with beef, sliced or diced potato, swede (also known as yellow turnip or rutabaga – referred to in Cornwall as turnip) and onion, seasoned with salt and pepper, and is baked. Today, the pasty is the food most associated with Cornwall. It is regarded as the national dish and accounts for 6% of the Cornish food economy.

The drink is usually somewhat bitter, sweet or light, and serves as a warm-up or opener to a meal. The term comes from the Latin aperire a verb meaning “to open.” In France, one might receive the drink before a meal, usually dinner, and sometimes lunch. In Italy, one would be offered an aperitivo. The former term is more commonly used in the US and in other English speaking countries. Ina Garten, known for her cooking show on the Food Network, The Barefoot Contessa, frequently plans elaborate meals that include an aperitif, and she is quite creative. Instead of martinis, she might serve appletinis, cosmopolitans, or other inspired drinks, frequently combining fruit juices with various alcohols.

Finally, if you are making your own shortcrust pastry (while I can make my own and I did here, my hands are usually a bit too warm for pastry so I tend to buy it in a block) that is fine, but if you are going for a shop bought version you need to roll out, you can always switch it out for layers of filo pastry to cut down on the butter and carbs. While we had it warm with a salad for Supper, I found the next day it is even better served cold. Speaking of trips to Tescos, a few days later while I was helping my Mother with her weekly shop I got very excited when I finally found The Lake District Dairy Co.'s Quark in both the Original, Vanilla and Lemon versions on the shelf. I'd looked for it in Sainsbury's, Tescos and Waitrose before but with not much luck; we don't seem to ever have much choice where we are out in the countryside, but as this i Phone snap shows, it should be easy to find even if you live in the middle of nowhere or only near small stores.

I've been doing primarily interior remodels and decks, but as the business is growing, I'm starting to get requests to bid siding jobs and additions. I have no interest in running a full-time production siding crew - I really only anticipate four or five siding jobs a year. So I'm ready to invest in two nailers, and I'd love some advice. I've read through a whole bunch of threads here, and I've read this week's version of Hardie's installation instruction, and as best I can tell, my options for blind-nailing are to use either a siding nailer or a roofing nailer. My take on it is that the siding nailer is really the right tool for the job. The problem is cost and availability. The only siding nailer available locally is about $150 more than a decent roofing run I can get all over town. I'm a small business, and don't have a big annual tool budget. Three hundred extra dollars seems a bit extravagant for tools I'll only use on a few jobs a year." } ]

Installation instructions may vary depending on the manufacturer, and check with your local building inspector for any code requirements. Safety First Always follow these safety precautions when installing fiber cement siding: Wear safety glasses when cutting and nailing FCS. Use ear protection when cutting siding with a circular saw. Cutting FCS with a circular saw creates a large amount of dust which can lead to the incurable lung disease silicosis. Always cut siding outside and use a dust collecting saw hooked to a shop vac if possible. Wear a NIOSH approved N-95 dust mask or respirator when cutting FCS. Storage and Handling Inspect siding carefully for damage when it arrives. Store off the ground, making sure it is flat and well supported. Keep it dry until it has been installed." }, { "docid": "D2675103#0", "title": "http://www.all-about-siding.com/vinyl-siding-styles.html\nVINYL SIDING STYLES", "text": "\"VINYL SIDING STYLESWhen you hear 'vinyl siding styles', people are generally talking about the different profiles, textures, colors, profile, thicknesses, lengths and prices within each 'type' of siding.

It’s proven to be the most sturdy and weather-resistant siding material available these days for residential and commercial applications. It remains unaffected by insects and pests, can bear large temperature variations, and never rots or warps because of moisture or water. Its fire resistant properties further encourage its use as a safe and viable construction material. When you order Hardiplank siding, it is delivered in standard sheets or in pre-cut strips. The strips are generally used for trim corners, soffits and eave linings. Most of the siding work uses sheets that you can cut to size at home. However, it’s important to use proper tools for cutting fiber cement siding, as the sturdiness of Hardiplank could damage the ordinary tools. You can get the special-purpose tools meant for cutting fiber cement siding from your local hardware store. These tools facilitate the process of cutting and you can save your present cutting tools from getting damaged." }, { "docid": "D3028258#0", "title": "https://sawdustgirl.com/installing-pergo-laminate-flooring/\nPergo â Installation Laminate Flooring", "text": "Sandra December 12, 2015Pergo – Installation Laminate Flooring Share 1 Pin 22 Tweet +1 Stumble23I’m installing Pergo in my loft craft room .

Three-tab shingles are usually 36 inches long; each tab is 12 inches. They are designed to be installed with a 5-inch reveal. Some roofers install shingles so the cutout lines describe a slight angle as you look from the bottom to the top of the roof. However, most people prefer the cutout lines to be aligned so they make straight vertical lines. This section shows how to install shingles using the racking method.

She was placed in a convent school in Italy briefly during a family trip to Europe in 1890—her mother and brother Elliot lived in Italy while her father was in an asylum in France being treated for alcoholism.

A strong and vigorous man both personally and in politics, it was through Roosevelt that the world identified America with cowboy values of courage, initiative and hardiness while it watched Roosevelt expand American influence in world affairs.

S. chief justice and president. Synopsis William Howard Taft was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on September 15, 1857. From a prominent political family, he followed his forebears into law and was on track to be a career jurist, well on his way to his dream job of sitting on the Supreme Court, when he was sidetracked for a term as the 27th U. S. president by his wife and Theodore Roosevelt. Taft finally achieved his dream of being appointed chief justice of the U. S. Supreme Court in 1921, becoming the only person to have served both as a chief justice and president. Taft died in Washington, D. C., on March 8, 1930. Early Life William Howard Taft, born on September 15, 1857, in Cincinnati, Ohio, was one of six children of Louisa Maria Torrey and Alphonso Taft. Many Taft ancestors, who could be traced back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, had gone into law, including William's father, Alphonso Taft. Alphonso Taft had served under President Ulysses S.

However, such methods were limited by the weather and the need for an uninterrupted line of sight between receptor points. These limitations also lessened the effectiveness of the semaphore, a modern precursor to the electric telegraph. Developed in the early 1790s, the semaphore consisted of a series of hilltop stations that each had large movable arms to signal letters and numbers and two telescopes with which to see the other stations. Like ancient smoke signals, the semaphore was susceptible to weather and other factors that hindered visibility. A different method of transmitting information was needed to make regular and reliable long-distance communication workable. Did You Know? SOS, the internationally recognized distress signal, does not stand for any particular words. Instead, the letters were chosen because they are easy to transmit in Morse code: \"\"S\"\" is three dots, and \"\"O\"\" is three dashes. The Electric Telegraph In the early 19th century, two developments in the field of electricity opened the door to the production of the electric telegraph." } ]

The significance of this invention and demonstration was quickly recognized, and many commercial interests contributed to the rapid construction and spread of telegraph lines throughout the United States. Charles Thomas Jackson It was an inventor named Charles Thomas Jackson who told Samuel Finley Breese Morse in 1832 that an electric impulse could be carried along a long wire. It was this information that inspired Morse, an art professor at the University of the City of New York, to sketch his first designs of the telegraph, according to Notable Biographies. Sketches Morse's sketches showed the three major parts of the telegraph: A sender; a receiver for recording the electrical signal; and a code for translating the signal into letters and numbers for an understandable message. Morse believed that information could be transmitted this way over any distance. Alfred Vail A mechanic named Alfred Vail helped Morse further develop his ideas, according to Radio-Electronics. They formed a partnership in 1837, devised a system of dots and dashes which later became the Morse code, applied for a patent and tried to secure funding for their invention. Congressional Funding In 1843, Morse finally obtained $30,000 in funds from the U. S. Congress to build the first telegraph line, which connected Washington, D.

It’s an interesting and by all accounts commercially viable design that got me thinking about the rationale behind the QWERTY keyboard. Unlike KALQ, it couldn’t have been designed to accommodate a specific typing technique because, well, the idea of typing –touch typing, at least– hadn’t been invented yet.

The first “telegraph” was invented in 1809 in Bavaria by a man named Soemmering . His device was crude and required decoding a message by means of electrolysis. In 1828, Harrison Dyar created a telegraph that would burn holes in special paper by means of an electric arc.

S.—died April 2, 1872, New York, New York), American painter and inventor who, independent of similar efforts in Europe, developed an electric telegraph (1832–35). In 1838 he developed the Morse Code. He was the son of the distinguished geographer and Congregational clergyman Jedidiah Morse. From Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, where he had been an unsteady and eccentric student, his parents sent him to Yale College (now Yale University) in New Haven, Connecticut. Although he was an indifferent scholar, his interest was aroused by lectures on the then little-understood subject of electricity. To the distress of his austere parents, he also enjoyed painting miniature portraits. After graduating from Yale in 1810, Morse became a clerk for a Boston book publisher. But painting continued to be his main interest, and in 1811 his parents helped him go to England in order to study that art with American painter Washington Allston. During the War of 1812, between Great Britain and the United States, Morse reacted to the English contempt for Americans by becoming passionately pro-American. Like the majority of Americans of his time, however, he accepted English artistic standards, including the “historical” style of painting—the Romantic portrayal of legends and historical events with personalities gracing the foreground in grand poses and brilliant colours." }, { "docid": "D2042140#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/How-was-Morse-code-used-in-World-War-II\nHow was Morse code used in World War II?", "text": "\"Morse Code Communication World War II Warfare Military History and Wars History How was Morse code used in World War II?5 Answers Quora User, Ex RNAnswered Nov 29, 2015 · Author has 924 answers and 2.2m answer views I'm going to answer two questions here... firstly, a question you haven't asked \"\"Why use morse code?\"\" and then I'll get round to answering your actual question \"\"How was morse code used?\"\" Ok. Why use Morse Code? If you look at the sound of a human voice on an oscilloscope display you'll see a mess of differing frequencies and amplitudes... Human voices are complicated! If you look at a morse code signal through an oscilloscope you'll see just two levels of transmission On or Off, which vary over time... Once you try to piggyback these signals onto an electromagnetic radiowave and send them through the ether then there's going to be interference, signal loss through attenuation, jamming in wartime, frequency bandwidth trimming and all sorts of other factors that intervene between the microphone of the transmitter and the loudspeaker of the receiver... As was said before, the human voice is a complicated thing - and the human brain isn't very good at decoding the sound of a human voice if there's a lot of interference... Morse code on the other hand is just about the simplest signal you can imagine - and it's still recognisable and understandable when subjected to the same levels of interference. So - Morse Code is more likely to get through and be understood than human voice... A second reason, specifically for using Morse Code during the Second World War, was encoding... Nowadays equipment exists to take an outgoing radio signal and automatically encrypt the data or voices during transmission, this is 'on-line' encryption... This generally didn't exist during WW2, so the best way of making sure your data was secure was by using 'off-line' encryption - I.e. : taking the text of your original message and encrypting the text itself (manually or mechanically) into an incomprehinsible set of seemingly random letters before transmitting the encrypted set of goobledegook... At the far end some guy would note down the serious of random letters, feed them through the same mechanical or manual decoding system in reverse, hopefully reproducing the plain text message you actually sent. Again, using a system of dits and dahs to send individual letters is quicker and more accurate than sitting in front of a microphone and saying \"\"hotel, echo, lima, lima alpha\"\". It should be noted that already by the outbreak of the second world war there was an alternative to morse - RATT or Radio Automatic Teletype, which basically encoded letters typed into a keyboard into a series of 5-bit binary numbers, which were then transmitted as Zeros ( a low pitched tone) or Ones (a high pitched tone), this was, in principle, far faster than morse code, but relied on a great deal of heavy and not necessarily very reliable electro-mechanical equipment to produce the signal, whereas morse needs just one man with a mechanical morse key to produce the signal and another with a Mk1 Ear to receive it. Now for your actual question, how was morse code used during WW2... In reality it was used for virtually all long-range radio communications where teletype was impractical due to size, complexity or security." } ]

Popular practices include wearing masks, capuchons, and costumes, overturning social conventions, dancing, drinking alcohol, begging, feasting, whipping, etc. Because of violent activities associated with the Ku Klux Klan, Louisiana has a state law prohibiting the wearing of hoods and masks in public.

Some time in the Second Century, during mid-February (usually February 15 according to the Julian calendar), Ancient Romans would observe what they called the Lupercalia, a circus-type festival which was, in many respects, quite similar to the present day Mardi Gras. This festival honored the Roman deity, Lupercus, a pastoral God associated with Faunus or the Satyr. Although Lupercus is derived from the Latin Lupus (meaning \"\"wolf\"\"), the original meaning of the word as it applies to Roman religion has become obscured over the passage of time. When Christianity arrived in Rome, the dignitaries of the early Church decided it would be more prudent to incorporate certain aspects of such rituals into the new faith rather than attempt to abolish them altogether. This granted a Christian interpretation to the ancient custom and the Carnival became a time of abandon and merriment which peceded the Lenten period (a symbolic Christian pentinence of 40 days commencing on Ash Wednesday and ending at Easter). During this time, there would be feasting which lasted several days and participants would indulge in voluntary madness by donning masks, clothing themselves in the likeness of spectres and generally giving themselves up to Bacchus and Venus. All aspects of pleasure were considered to be allowable during the Carnival celebration and today's modern festivites are thought by some to be more reminiscent of the Roman Saturnalia rather than Lupercalia, or be linked to even earlier Pagan festivals. From Rome, the celebration spread to other European countries. In medieval times, a similar-type festivity to that of the present day Mardi Gras was given by monarchs and lords prior to Lent in order to ceremoniously conscript new knights into service and hold feasts in their honor." }, { "docid": "D2527287#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_did_mardi_gras_start_in_new_orleans\nHow did Mardi Gras start in new Orleans?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society Society and Civilization Holidays and Traditions Mardi Gras How did Mardi Gras start in new Orleans?

Here are 10 things to know before you start tossing beads. Mardi Gras Has Pagan Roots Mardi Gras (French for Fat Tuesday) is a Christian holiday-cum-pop culture phenomenon that dates back thousands of years to pagan spring and fertility rites. Also known as Carnival, it’s celebrated in several nations across the globe -- predominantly those with large Roman Catholic populations -- on the day before the religious season of Lent. When Christianity arrived in Rome, religious leaders decided to incorporate some pagan traditions like the raucous Roman festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia into the new faith -- a far easier task than abolishing them outright. As a result, the debauchery and excess of Carnival season became a prelude to the 40 days of penance between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. Mardi Gras Began In Mobile, Ala. Mardi Gras spread from Rome across Europe where it then crossed the oceans to the colonies of the New World. Historians believe the first American Mardi Gras occurred in 1703, one year after French explorer Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville established Fort Louis de la Louisiane in what is now Mobile, Ala. By the 1730s, New Orleans and other French settlements took to marking the holiday with masked balls, lavish dinners and wild street parties. The first parade in New Orleans is thought to have occurred on Fat Tuesday in 1827, while the first official parade took place 10 years later. Mardi Gras Is Not A One-Day Event Mardi Gras is not a singular event but rather a season that begins on Three Kings Day and climaxes on Fat Tuesday, just in time for a somber Ash Wednesday." }, { "docid": "D3552583#0", "title": "https://www.bustle.com/articles/17016-why-do-women-flash-their-breasts-for-beads-at-mardi-gras-a-brief-history\nWhy Do Women Flash Their Breasts For Beads At Mardi Gras?

Photo: Reuters Mardi Gras might be defined by its beads, parades and fatty foods, but the holiday filled with debauchery has pious roots. Fat Tuesday, held 46 days before Easter, began as a Catholic tradition of revelry before the austere season of Lent begins. Fat Tuesday may mark a specific day, but it actually refers to a season that begins on the Christian holiday of Epiphany. The holiday, celebrated Jan. 6, is also known as Three Kings Day and commemorates the adoration of Jesus Christ by the Three Wise Men. The time between Epiphany and Mardi Gras is commonly referred to as Carnival, during which parades take place in Catholic strongholds like Brazil, Venice, Uruguay, Trinidad and Tobago, and New Orleans. This year Mardi Gras falls on Feb. 17. Below are answers to three common questions about the religious significance of Mardi Gras: How Did Mardi Gras Begin? Like many Catholic holidays, Mardi Gras bears resemblances to ancient pagan rituals, particularly Saturnalia and Lupercalia.

The walrus is the only living species in the family Odobenidae and genus Odobenus. This species is subdivided into three subspecies: [2] the Atlantic walrus ( O. r. rosmarus) which lives in the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific walrus ( O. r. divergens) which lives in the Pacific Ocean, and O. r. laptevi, which lives in the Laptev Sea of the Arctic Ocean. Adult walrus are easily recognized by their prominent tusks, whiskers, and bulk. Adult males in the Pacific can weigh more than 2,000 kg (4,400 lb) [3] and, among pinnipeds, are exceeded in size only by the two species of elephant seals. [ 4] Walruses live mostly in shallow waters above the continental shelves, spending significant amounts of their lives on the sea ice looking for benthic bivalve mollusks to eat. Walruses are relatively long-lived, social animals, and they are considered to be a \"\" keystone species \"\" in the Arctic marine regions. The walrus has played a prominent role in the cultures of many indigenous Arctic peoples, who have hunted the walrus for its meat, fat, skin, tusks, and bone. During the 19th century and the early 20th century, walruses were widely hunted and killed for their blubber, walrus ivory, and meat." } ]

His contributions to the exploration of the world as it was then known have generally been understated by modern sources, and overshadowed by greater exploits of his contemporaries.

Walt Disney was a lifelong fan of the book and wanted to make it a decade earlier, but another production of the story was being produced elsewhere at the time, prompting the studio to shelf it for a while. Then World War II happened and they lost a lot of their budget on war films. Some years of Development Hell turned the film into a more wacky, comedic cartoon in the same vein as The Emperor's New Groove and a very odd entry in the Disney canon.

Share Flipboard Email Printvia Wikipediaby Kallie Szczepanski Updated December 27, 2017Bactria is an ancient region of Central Asia, between the Hindu Kush Mountain range and the Oxus River (today generally called the Amu Darya River). In more recent times, the region also goes by the name \"\"Balkh,\"\" after one of the tributary rivers of the Amu Darya. Historically often a unified region, Bactria now is divided among many Central Asian nations: Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, plus a sliver of what is now Pakistan. Two of its significant cities that are still important today are Samarkand (in Uzbekistan) and Kunduz (in northern Afghanistan). Brief History of Bactria Archaeological evidence and early Greek accounts indicate that the area east of Persia and northwest of India has been home to organized empires since at least 2,500 BCE, and possibly much longer. The great philosopher Zoroaster, or Zarathustra, is said to have come from Bactria. Scholars have long debated when the historical personage of Zoroaster lived, with some proponents claiming a date as early as 10,000 BCE, but this is all speculative. In any event, his beliefs form the basis for Zoroastrianism, which strongly influenced the later monotheistic religions of southwest Asia (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). In the sixth century BCE, Cyrus the Great conquered Bactria and added it to the Persian or Achaemenid Empire." } ]

Chandragupta Maurya raised an army and with the assistance of Chanakya (also known as Kauṭilya), [4] overthrew the Nanda Empire in c. 322 BCE and rapidly expanded his power westwards across central and western India." }, { "docid": "D2792926#0", "title": "http://classroom.synonym.com/did-alexander-spread-greek-culture-throughout-ancient-world-9349.html\nDid Alexander Spread Greek Culture Throughout the Ancient World?", "text": "\"Home » Classroom Did Alexander Spread Greek Culture Throughout the Ancient World? By Michael Drwiega Following Alexander’s illustrious conquests, Greek culture radiated throughout much of the world. Conquering territories from his native Macedonia to the Indus River, Alexander the Great (356-323 B. C. E.) enabled his successors, the three Hellenistic kingdoms, to spread Greek culture to an unprecedented extent. Vast regions formerly dominated by Egyptian or Persian traditions soon came to exhibit distinctively Greek characteristics in politics, language, athletics, art, literature and philosophy. Nonetheless, much of the world, including most people within the Hellenistic kingdoms, continued to live largely unaffected by Greek culture. Geography In Alexander’s day, humans were living not only in Africa, Europe and the Middle East but also in Central and East Asia, Australia, the Americas and on islands in the Pacific Ocean. Alexander’s conquests fell far short of encompassing all these regions. They did, however, embrace territories from Greece to the Indus River and from Anatolia to Memphis on the Nile. Greek Cities Cities attracted the majority of Greeks who immigrated into the lands Alexander conquered. Whether long established or newly founded by the conquerors, these urban areas soon acquired traditional features of Greek city-states, such as councils, assemblies, theaters and gymnasiums as well as an agora that served as both market and political forum." }, { "docid": "D3507160#0", "title": "https://www.ancient.eu/Darius_I/\nDarius I", "text": "\"Darius I (c. 550-486 BCE), also known as Darius the Great, was the third Persian King of the Achaemenid Empire. His reign lasted 36 years, from c. 522 to 486 BCE; during this time the Persian Empire reached its peak. Darius led military campaigns in Europe, Greece, and even in the Indus valley, conquering lands and expanding his empire. Not only resuming to military prowess, Darius also improved the legal and economic system and conducted impressive construction projects across the Persian Empire. Rise to Power The most important primary sources, that tell us about his life and reign, are his inscriptions, the most famous example being the trilingual inscription, in Akkadian or Babylonian, Elamite, and old Persian, carved on the Bisitun (Behistun) rock relief from the village of the same name and from his palace at Persepolis. Also, accounts about his reign were chronicled by the Greek historian Herodotus. Darius was born in c. 550 BCE, the oldest son of Hystapes and Rhodugune. The Behistun inscription mentions that his father occupied the position of satrap (regional leader) of Bactria and Persis during the reign of Cyrus the Great (559-530 BCE) and his son, Cambyses (530-522 BCE). During the reign of Cambyses, Darius held the position of spearman ( doryphoros ) and accompanied the king in his campaign to Egypt between 528 and 525 BCE. Before leaving for Egypt, Cambyses named Patizithes as custodian of the royal palace in his absence." }, { "docid": "D1228454#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bactrian_camel\nBactrian camel", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Bactrian camel A Bactrian camel in the Shanghai Zoo Conservation status Domesticated Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Camelidae Genus: Camelus Species: C. bactrianus Binomial name Camelus bactrianus Linnaeus, 1758Synonyms [1]List [show]The Bactrian camel ( Camelus bactrianus) is a large, even-toed ungulate native to the steppes of Central Asia.

According to another theory, the Aryans migrated from India to other countries suggesting that India is the primary and original homeland of the Aryans. Both the theories regarding the migration of Aryans have been discussed below:1. Theory of migration of Aryans to India from outside India A majority of scholars and historians hold the view that the Aryans migrated to India from outside. They have put forward various linguistic, archaeological and literary arguments in support of their claim that the origin of Indo-Aryans was outside of India. It is believed that their original homeland was the Kirghiz steppe or Southern Russia. What was then the route, of their migration?

China About 100 A. D. the Han started to decline. The bureaucracy became corrupt and the power of the central government weakened. Local landlords became more powerful as government control and supervision declined. They increased the tax burden on the peasants and took many of their farms. As peasant unrest grew, a revolutionary movement emerged called the Yellow Turban. The Yellow Turbans were Daoists; their attempts at revolution failed. Compounding this political weakness and peasant unrest was the effect of several devastating epidemics that wiped out nearly half the population. With all this internal turmoil, the weakened Han dynasty could not fend off the advance of the Hun invaders. Even though the Han fell and initiated a period of chaos, there was not a permanent disruption of Chinese civilization." } ]

That said, banks do have routing numbers. But those numbers are used as a way to track and organize the paper checks and other deposits/debits that move between banks millions of times every day in the United States. When you cash my check at your bank, your bank needs to know how to route that check back to my bank for payment — the routing number tells which bank the check came from and the account number tells which specific customer wrote the check. This is shown in words on your check, of course, but the routing and account numbers allow this process to be easily automated.

ACH and wire transactions are two of the most widely used transaction types where this number is used. Each state has a unique Routing Number so as to differentiate between customers of different regions. This makes it important to ensure that you are using the right routing number while making a transaction. The company maintains a high standard of security and transaction assistance, and keeps an orderly track of every customer served here. Each state where a branch of the bank is located has its own unique Wells Fargo Routing Number. A Wells Fargo Routing Number is required for initiating various financial transactions such as direct deposits, electronic payments, wire transfers, check ordering and many more.

Whether you need to set up a direct deposit, such as your paycheck, or order checks online, you’ll need both your bank's routing number and your personal account number for those transactions. In a nutshell, account numbers are a lot like a customer ID, or fingerprint, that’s specific to each account holder. Similarly, routing numbers identify each banking institution with a unique numerical ID. Routing and account numbers are assigned to indicate exactly where transactional funds are coming from and going to. So any time you make an electronic funds transfer, for instance, both the routing and account numbers must be provided to the relevant financial institution. Routing Number The routing number (which is sometimes referred to as an ABA) is a sequence of nine digits used by banks to identify specific financial institutions within the Unites States. This number proves that the bank is a federal- or state-chartered institution and that it maintains an account with the Federal Reserve . Small banks generally possess just one routing number, while large multinational banks can have several different routing numbers, usually based on the state in which you hold the account. Routing numbers are most commonly required when reordering checks, for payment of consumer bills, to establish a direct deposit (like a paycheck) or for tax payments." }, { "docid": "D3495091#0", "title": "https://bank-routing.org/211574642-banknewport-routing-number\n211574642 Routing Number (BANKNEWPORT)", "text": "Home BANKNEWPORT 211574642 Routing Number211574642 Routing Number (BANKNEWPORT)Transfer Money Up to 8x Cheaper Than Banks with Transfer Wise When you get or send a wire transfer globally with your bank, you might find a poor exchange rate, and pay hidden fees consequently.

Krikorian tells us nothing more, but provides a some links. According to the Wikipedia article on John Tyler (1790—1862), Tyler had, by his second wife, Julia Gardiner Tyler (born 1820), a son, Lyon Gardiner Tyler (1853-1935). It says that Harrison Ruffin Tyler, a son of Lyon, was born in 1928 (when Lyon was 75) and is still alive. So, John Tyler at age 63 had a son Lyon Gardiner Tyler, and Lyon Gardiner Tyler at age 75 had a son Harrison Ruffin Tyler, and Harrison is about 80 and still alive. 63 plus 75 plus 80 equals 208 years. Three generations span the years from 1790 and 2009. Amazing. However, Wikipedia doesn’t say anything about a second living grandson. Krikorian links a photo of one Lyon Tyler identified as Tyler’s grandson, but the page gives no information about him." } ]

Lately, as the crisis in the U. S. economy has deepened, and, as Election Day gets closer, they have also been much evoked. Theodore and Franklin’s resumes have many common elements including this one: Both presidents attended and but did not graduate from Columbia Law School. Teddy was meant to be a member of the Class of 1882 and FDR the Class of 1907, but both departed early to embark on their historic political careers, never receiving their juris doctor degrees. “Tonight,” said Columbia Law School Dean David M. Schizer on Sept. 25 at the Harlan Fiske Stone Society Reception, “we’re going to reconcile that.” In conferring them posthumous J. D.s, Schizer described the Roosevelts’ eras and drew parallels to today. “When FDR was inaugurated, industrial production had fallen by more than half in three years, farm prices had fallen by 60 percent, and 32 of the 48 states had closed their banks." }, { "docid": "D2179325#0", "title": "http://celebrity-height.com/theodore-roosevelt-height-weight-body-statistics/\nTheodore Roosevelt â Height Weight Age Body Measurements", "text": "Theodore Roosevelt – Height Weight Age Body Measurements Theodore Roosevelt Bio Theodore Roosevelt Jr., born on 27 October 1858 in New York City, New York, was an American statesman, author, soldier, explorer, naturalist and reformer. From 1901 to 1909 he served as the 26th President of the United States as a leader of the Republican Party. Theodore Roosevelt died from a blood clot in his sleep in the early hours of 6 January 1919 at Sagamore Hill. After he ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of New York City in 1886, Theodore Roosevelt served with the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry and gained national renown for courage during the Spanish–American War. In 1898 he was elected governor of New York, but the state party leadership moved him to the role of vice president as Mc Kinley’s running mate in the election of 1900. After the assassination of President Mc Kinley in September 1901, he succeeded to the office at age 42 – the youngest United States President in history. Leading his country and party into the Progressive Era, he advocated his “Square Deal” domestic policies, promising the average citizen fairness, regulation of railroads, breaking of trusts and pure food and drugs. He won the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize due to his successful efforts to end the Russo-Japanese War.

Historically, working on a switchboard required a great deal of mechanical knowledge, as operators had to manually process calls. Today, many switchboards are highly computerized, with the operator focusing on answering calls and routing them to the correct destination rather than having to deal with the physical wiring. Switchboards are used to handle phone calls in a variety of environments. Most emergency response phone numbers route to a switchboard, where an operator will determine where the call should be sent. They are also used in large companies, hotels, and other settings where a large number of incoming phone calls need to be processed, and in situations where companies want to make it difficult for members of the public to contact people in the company directly. Movie producers, for example, like their calls routed through a switchboard so that they can decide whom they want to talk to and when. In addition to handling external phone calls, a switchboard operator also deals with internal communications. When an analyst on the 40th floor picks up the phone to dial a banker on the 50th floor, the call may be routed through a company switchboard, and the analyst may interact with an operator along the way. Paging systems may also be handled this way, as in the case of a hospital that takes calls from the outside, manages internal communications, and uses overhead paging to alert personnel to important issues." }, { "docid": "D313288#0", "title": "http://jobdescriptionandresumeexamples.com/veterinary-receptionist-job-description-example-duties-tasks-and-responsibilities/\nVeterinary Receptionist Job Description Example, Duties, Tasks, and Responsibilities", "text": "Veterinary Receptionist Job Description Example, Duties, Tasks, and Responsibilities Veterinary Receptionists welcome clients and their pets to the clinic with a warm smile. Image source: Fourpawsvets.com Veterinary Receptionist Job Description Example A veterinary receptionist is an individual who works in a veterinary clinic or hospital with basic knowledge of veterinary and front desk activities such as answering calls, welcoming clients and taking mails. The job requires being comfortable in the presence of animals because you will be dealing with them on a daily basis. The job description of the receptionist who works in a veterinary hospital involves providing accurate information to inquiries from clients and other members of the public. Therefore, to succeed on this job, the receptionist must make it a priority to learn about all his/her clinic’s procedures. For the fact that the role involves a lot of physical contact with people, the receptionist has to be neatly and smartly dressed at all times; and must also wear a warm smile when greeting and welcoming clients to the clinic. Receptionists can have a great deal of influence on their companies’ clients because they are usually the first people clients come in contact with when they visit the clinics. They therefore serve as a liaison officer between doctors and clients. They also render customer service to clients and ensure they are well satisfied before exiting the clinic. Other responsibilities of the receptionist include maintaining a good and professional relationship with clients by getting appointments for them with the doctors, and calling them up on phone to inform them of new developments concerning their pets." }, { "docid": "D340713#0", "title": "http://www.rasmussen.edu/degrees/health-sciences/blog/what-does-a-medical-assistant-do/\nWhat Does a Medical Assistant Do?", "text": "What Does a Medical Assistant Do?

You are the ruling physician in your home and are quick to act when a minor medical crisis occurs with your children. It’s natural to value a degree path that is not only convenient to your schedule, but also affordable and easily translatable into your role as mom or dad—after all, your family is your primary concern. And of course, you’re a master multitasker.

Often referred to as a dental scheduler, this administrative professional answers the phone, greets patients, files documents and maintains the appointment calendar. In addition to these common tasks, a dental receptionist has the added responsibilities of collecting insurance information, compiling dental histories and escorting patients to and, sometimes, from the dentist’s exam room. Dental receptionists earn salaries similar to more traditional receptionists, but certain skills can improve earnings. General Receptionist In 2011, receptionists averaged $26,730 a year, or $12.85 an hour, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Because higher salaries — mainly in the postal services and scientific research industry — can skew this figure, median wage is often a better indicator of a receptionist’s earning potential. About half of all receptionists earn $25,690 a year or less. Neither figure, however, differentiates one industry from another. Dental Receptionist A survey conducted by Office Team, an administrative staffing agency, found that dental receptionists earned $25,750 to $34,000 a year in 2012.

The movement can be due to changes in turgor or changes in growth. Nastic movements differ from tropic movements in that the direction of tropic responses depends on the direction of the stimulus, whereas the direction of nastic movements is independent of the stimulus. The rate or frequency of these responses increases as intensity of the stimulus increases. An example of such a response is the opening and closing of flowers (photonastic response). Nastic responses are usually associated with plants.\"\" Tropism Movement: \"\"A tropism (from Greek, tropos, to turn) is a biological phenomenon, indicating growth or turning movement of a biological organism, usually a plant, in response to an environmental stimulus. In tropisms, this response is dependent on the direction of the stimulus (as opposed to nastic movements which are non-directional responses). Viruses and other pathogens also affect what is called \"\"host tropism\"\" or \"\"cell tropism\"\" in which case tropism refers to the way in which different viruses/pathogens have evolved to preferentially target specific host species, or specific cell types within those species. The word tropism comes from the Greek trope (\"\"to turn\"\" or \"\"to change\"\")." } ]

However, there are so many variations that are present even in plants, be it in their structure, size, color, or mode of nutrition. These numerous variations, in their phenotypic (outwardly visible) traits as well as their genotype, has made people study this group since centuries, thus, making botany one of the oldest sciences, rivaling astronomy today. Botany has formed the basis on which, the study of plants and consequently, living organisms was done. It was the plants present in his backyard that inspired Gregor Johann Mendel to propose the first laws of genetic inheritance, that are studied even to this day. The importance of this science cannot be stressed enough, as today, all living organisms owe their existence to plants, either directly or indirectly.

Hormone binding to a specific receptor activates chemical and transport steps that generate second messengers, which trigger the cell's various responses to the original signal. In the diagram above, the receptor is on the surface of the target cell. In other cases, hormones enter cells and bind to specific receptors inside. Environmental stimuli can also initiate signal pathways. For example, phytochrome conversion is the first step in the transduction pathways that lead to a cell's responses to red light. Specific example: a hypothetical mechanism for auxin's stimulation of cell elongation. ( 1) The hormone binds to an auxin receptor, and (2) this signal is transduced into second messengers within the cell, inducing various responses. ( 3) Proton pumps are activated, and secretion of acid loosens the wall, enabling the cell to elongate. ( 4) The Golgi apparatus is stimulated to discharge vesicles containing materials to maintain the thickness of the cell wall.

Currently there are two ideological poles, representing the prevailing tendencies within the movement. One is the direction toward new lifestyles within a women's culture, emphasizing personal liberation and growth, and the relationship of women to women. Given our real need to break loose from the old patterns--socially, psychologically, and economically--and given the necessity for new patterns in the post revolutionary society, we understand, support and enjoy this tendency. However, when it is the sole emphasis, we see it leading more toward a kind of formless insulation rather than to a condition in which we can fight for and win power over our own lives. The other direction is one which emphasizes a structural analysis of our society and its economic base. It focuses on the ways in which productive relations oppress us. This analysis is also correct, but its strategy, taken alone, can easily become, or appear to be, insensitive to the total lives of women. As socialist feminists, we share both the personal and the structural analysis.

As a result, camera shots are very important in shaping meaning in a film. Reviewing the examples on the right hand side of this page should make the different camera shots clearer. An extreme long shot ( animation on right) contains a large amount of landscape. It is often used at the beginning of a scene or a film to establish general location (setting).

A common example is a plant root growing in humid air bending toward a higher relative humidity level. This is of biological significance as it helps to increase efficiency of the plant in its ecosystem. The process of hydrotropism is started by the root cap sensing water and sending a signal to the elongating part of the root. Hydrotropism is difficult to observe in underground roots, since the roots are not readily observable, and root gravitropism is usually more influential than root hydrotropism. [ 2] Water readily moves in soil and soil water content is constantly changing so any gradients in soil moisture are not stable. Root hydrotropism research has mainly been a laboratory phenomenon for roots grown in humid air rather than soil. Its ecological significance in soil-grown roots is unclear because so little hydrotropism research has examined soil-grown roots. Recent identification of a mutant plant that lacks a hydrotropic response may help to elucidate its role in nature. [ 3] Hydrotropism may have importance for plants grown in space, where it may allow roots to orient themselves in a microgravity environment.

Endocrine System Concept Overview: The endocrine system includes several glands and scattered cells and the hormones they secrete into the bloodstream. A hormone exerts a specific physiological effect on target cells, which have receptors for it. Exocrine glands deliver substances into ducts, which open onto body surfaces. The nervous and endocrine systems interact to maintain homeostasis. The nervous system acts faster and more locally than the endocrine system. Neurosecretory cells, which are neurons that secrete hormones, are a physical and evolutionary link between the two systems. In a negative feedback loop, excess of a hormone or the product of a hormone-induced response suppresses further synthesis or release of that hormone until levels return to normal. In a positive feedback loop, the hormone causes an event that increases its production. Ions or nutrient levels near the endocrine cells, input from the nervous system, and other hormones control feedback loops. Concept: b.

The shape has been regulated by the gravitropic curvature at the base. Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms. Charles Darwin was one of the first to scientifically document that roots show positive gravitropism and stems show negative gravitropism. That is, roots grow in the direction of gravitational pull (i.e., downward) and stems grow in the opposite direction (i.e., upwards). This behavior can be easily demonstrated with any potted plant. When laid onto its side, the growing parts of the stem begin to display negative gravitropism, growing (biologists say, turning; see tropism) upwards. Hebaverns (non-woody) stems are capable of a small degree of actual bending, but most of the redirected movement occurs as a consequence of root or stem growth outside.

Making a Voluntary Movement Our Mirror Neurons Prefer the Movements We’ve Already Learned In brain imaging, when subjects are asked to move their thumbs, activity is observed in the posterior parietal and somatosensory areas, Area 8 of the prefrontal cortex , and motor areas 4 and 6. Interestingly, if subjects are simply asked to repeat the movement mentally without actually performing it, Area 6 is still activated, but not Area 4. Some kinds of damage to the posterior parietal cortex can lead to a syndrome called apraxia. In one form of apraxia, patients can make certain gestures spontaneously but have trouble in making these same gestures if asked to do so. In another form, patients cannot make the correct movements to use objects such as a pencil or a pair of scissors, even though they can describe the functions of these objects perfectly. In addition, people with apraxia will have even more difficulty in performing a gesture if they are asked to do so outside the appropriate social context. What apraxia thus seems to impair is the ability to make voluntary movements that are not directly elicited or stimulated by the environment. THE MOTOR CORTEXThe anatomical region of the brain known as Area 4 was given the name primary motor cortex (symbol: M1) after Penfield showed that focal stimulations in this region elicited highly localized muscle contractions at various locations in the body. This mapping is represented somatotopically on the motor cortex, where the surface area devoted to controlling the movements of each body part varies in direct proportion to the precision of the movements that can be made by that part (see boxed text below)." } ]

It was ratified by conventions in 11 states. It went into effect on March 4, 1789. The first 10 constitutional amendments ratified by three-fourths of the states in 1791 are known as the Bill of Rights. The Constitution has been amended 17 additional times – for a total of 27 amendments – and its principles are applied in courts of law by judicial review. The due process clause of the Constitution was partly based on common law and on Magna Carta (1215), which had become a foundation of English liberty against arbitrary power wielded by a tyrant. The philosophers John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and Monstesquieu substantially influenced the underlying principles embodied by the Constitution, such as the notion that the government ‘s duty under a social contract among the sovereign people is to serve them by protecting their natural rights.

Once the Senate has given its advice and consent to ratification, the President ratifies the treaty by signing an instrument of ratification.

In contrast to many countries with parliamentary forms of government, where the office of president, or head of state, is mainly ceremonial, in the United States the president is vested with great authority and is arguably the most powerful elected official in the world. The nation’s founders originally intended the presidency to be a narrowly restricted institution. They distrusted executive authority because their experience with colonial governors had taught them that executive power was inimical to liberty, because they felt betrayed by the actions of George III, the king of Great Britain and Ireland, and because they considered a strong executive incompatible with the republicanism embraced in the Declaration of Independence (1776). Accordingly, their revolutionary state constitutions provided for only nominal executive branches, and the Articles of Confederation (1781–89), the first “national” constitution, established no executive branch.

Under international law, a treaty is any (a) binding agreement (b) between two or more states (countries) or international organizations, (c) in writing, (d) governed by international law. Regardless of what countries term a document, internationally, it is a treaty so long as it contains the above 4 ingredients. Thus, an executive agreement under US law is still a treaty under international law. Under US law, the difference in between treaty and executive agreement is whether the President has the authority to execute it without the advice and consent of the Senate. If he or she has such authority, it is an executive agreement, and if not, it is a treaty. Basis for such authority is found by examining the constitution, federal statutes, and international agreements that the US is party to. The US Department of State considers the following factors in designating an international agreement a treaty or executive agreement: The degree of commitment or risk for the entire Nation;Whether the agreement is intended to affect state laws;Whether the agreement requires enabling legislation;Past U. S. practice;The preference of Congress;The degree of formality desired;The proposed duration and the need for prompt conclusion; and General international practice on similar agreements. [ With the proviso that:] In determining whether any international agreement should be brought into force as a treaty or as an international agreement other than a treaty, the utmost care is to be exercised to avoid any invasion or compromise of the constitutional powers of the Senate, the Congress as a whole, or the President.

It restored the Ottoman constitution of 1876 and brought in multi-party politics with a two stage electoral system ( electoral law) under the Ottoman parliament. The constitution offered hope by freeing the empire’s citizens to modernize the state’s institutions and dissolve inter-communal tensions. [ 1]Instead, this period became the story of the twilight struggle of the Empire. Ottoman military reforms resulted in the Ottoman Army engaging in the Italo-Turkish War (1911), the Balkan Wars (1912–1913), and the continuous unrest caused by the Ottoman counter-coup of 1909, which preceded the 31 March Incident (Restoration, 1909) and 1912 Ottoman coup d'état ( Saviours) and the 1913 Ottoman coup d'état in the Empire up to World War I. The Ottoman entry into World War I in the Middle Eastern theatre ended with the partition of the Ottoman Empire under the terms of the Treaty of Sèvres. This treaty, as designed in the conference of London, gave a nominal land and permitted the title Ottoman Caliphate (compared with Vatican; a sacerdotal - monarchical state ruled by the Catholic Pope ), not to be a further threat but just powerful enough to protect Britain from the Khilafat Movement. The occupation of Constantinople along with the occupation of Smyrna mobilized the Turkish national movement which ultimately won the Turkish War of Independence. The formal abolition of the Ottoman Sultanate was performed by Grand National Assembly of Turkey on 1 November 1922." }, { "docid": "D15606#0", "title": "http://nationalparalegal.edu/conLawCrimProc_Public/Federalism/PresidentialPowers.asp\nPresidential Powers", "text": "\"Presidential Powers Related Videos: The American System of Government: Separation of Powers Congressional and Presidential War Powers under the US Constitution The Power of the President: The Roles of Executive Orders in American Government Terms: Appointments Clause: Article II, Section 2, clause 2 grants the President the power to “appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States [except those whose positions are not otherwise already provided for in the Constitution, and] Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers…in the President alone.” In other words, the President is given broad appointing powers, and the powers not granted the President, which remain with Congress, may be vested in the President by Congressional act.

What he should say is that the United States never properly joined the accord: It is a treaty that requires the advice and consent of the Senate. Instead, President Barack Obama choose to “adopt” it with an executive order last September. Two features cut heavily against it being treated as the kind of arrangement that can be entered into by a president on his own authority. First, it has a four-year waiting period for withdrawal, quite unlike traditional executive agreements. Second, it is a large multilateral deal, and the other parties apparently believe it requires domestic ratification. Whatever that means for U. S. constitutional purposes, it does suggest that other countries should hardly protest if Trump merely follows their example to seek domestic ratification. Some general principles are worth reviewing. In international law, the term “treaty” is one of the many terms for a binding international agreement.

LEGAL RELATIONS AMONG NATION- STATESMuch of the law governing relations among nation-states developed from history, customs, and traditions that found their way into legal precedents. In cases where nations disagreed over their rights and duties toward one another, consensus slowly developed. For example, when a citizen attempted to bring a lawsuit in his home country against a foreign sovereign, the court would typically deny relief on the ground that the foreign sovereign had immunity as a generally recognized custom of international law. Customary international law, however, could not answer all of the questions and needs of nation-states and their citizens. Agreements between nations were needed to improve alliances in times of war, or to promote international trade and commerce in times of peace. Thus, countries often entered into treaties of \"\"friendship, commerce, and navigation\"\" (FCN) with other countries. Such treaties define the reciprocal rights and duties of each nation in furtherance of each nation's self-interest.

[ 2] In birds and mammals, bone marrow is the primary site of new blood cell production or hematopoiesis. [ 3] It is composed of hematopoietic cells, marrow adipose tissue, and supportive stromal cells. On average, bone marrow constitutes 4% of the total body mass of humans; in an adult having 65 kilograms of mass (143 lb), bone marrow typically accounts for approximately 2.6 kilograms (5.7 lb). [ 4] Human marrow produces approximately 500 billion blood cells per day, which join the systemic circulation via permeable vasculature sinusoids within the medullary cavity. [ 5] All types of hematopoietic cells, including both myeloid and lymphoid lineages, are created in bone marrow; however, lymphoid cells must migrate to other lymphoid organs (e.g. thymus) in order to complete maturation. Bone marrow transplants can be conducted to treat severe diseases of the bone marrow, including certain forms of cancer such as leukemia. Additionally, bone marrow stem cells have been successfully transformed into functional neural cells, [6] and can also potentially be used to treat illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Gerds, MDPublished: April 2016Contents Introduction The myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), previously termed the myeloproliferative disorders, are characterized by the clonal proliferation of one or more hematopoietic cell lineages, predominantly in the bone marrow, but sometimes in the liver and spleen. 1 In contrast to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), MPNs demonstrate terminal myeloid cell expansion into the peripheral blood. In the 2008 revision of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of myeloid neoplasms, MPNs include chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), chronic neutrophilic leukemia, polycythemia vera (PV), primary myelofibrosis (PMF), essential thrombocythemia (ET), chronic eosinophilic leukemia, mastocytosis, and unclassifiable MPNs. 2 MDS/MPN overlap disorders are those chronic myeloid disorders unable to be classified as \"\"classic\"\" MPN or MDS. These include chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, atypical CML, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, and unclassifiable MDS/MPN. Chronic myelogenous leukemia is the only MPN that is characterized by the presence of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, which is formed by translocation of the ABL gene from chromosome 9 joining to the BCR gene on chromosome 22. The altered chromosome 22 with the fusion gene is the Philadelphia chromosome. With a unique pathogenesis and treatment, CML is often considered separately from the rest of the MPNs. The most commonly recognized mutation in the remainder of the Philadelphia chromosome-negative MPNs is Janus kinase 2 ( JAK2) V617F, which is present in more than 90% of patients with PV and approximately half of those with PMF or ET ( Table 1 ). 3 This mutation substitutes phenylalanine for valine at position 617 in the JH2 domain (Val617Phe, V617F) of exon 14, leading to constitutive activation of the JAK -STAT and other pathways resulting in uncontrolled cell growth." }, { "docid": "D164855#0", "title": "https://www.78stepshealth.us/human-physiology/hematopoiesis.html\n.", "text": "\"Hematopoiesis Last Updated on Mon, 20 Feb 2017 | Human Physiology Blood cells are constantly formed through a process called hematopoiesis (also called hemopoiesis). The hematopoietic stem cells —those that give rise to blood cells—originate in the yolk sac of the human embryo and then migrate to the liver. Hematopoiesis thus occurs in the liver of the fetus. The stem Heart and Circulation cells then migrate to the bone marrow, and shortly after birth the liver ceases to be a source of blood cell production. The term erythropoiesis refers to the formation of erythrocytes, and leukopoiesis to the formation of leukocytes. These processes occur in two classes of tissues after birth, myeloid and lymphoid. Myeloid tissue is the red bone marrow of the long bones, ribs, sternum, pelvis, bodies of the vertebrae, and portions of the skull.

These abnormalities result from an unregulated growth of hematopoietic stem cells (multipotent stem cells that give rise to all types of blood cells). In these type of conditions although the cells grow rapidly there is an impaired maturation and function leading to reduction of normal hematopoiesis (formation of blood cellular components) and destruction of other tissues. However, in dogs they are found 10 times less frequently than lymphoproliferative (condition in which lymphocytes are produced in excessive quantities) diseases. There is no age, breed or gender predilection. The differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells depends upon several regulatory growthfactors called colony-stimulating factors (CSFs). It is these clonal disorders in the bone marrow that actually lead to myeloaplasia (low count of all blood cell lines like red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets), myelodysplasia (group of disorders in which the bone marrow does not function properly and produces insufficient number of blood cells) and myeloproliferation. MPDs fall into 2 categories — acute myeloid leukemia and chronic myeloproliferative diseases. The uncontrolled growth of cells affects maturation and this in turn leads to the accumulation of poorly differentiated cells. These disorders were earlier referred to as acute MPDs or acute non-lymphocytic leukemias but now they have been brought under the ambit of acute myeloid leukemia." }, { "docid": "D814206#0", "title": "http://pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.1148/radiographics.19.6.g99no231465\nA Pattern-oriented Approach to Splenic Imaging in Infants and Children", "text": "Keywords: Children, gastrointestinal system, 775. ** 2 ; Infants, gastrointestinal system, 775. ** 2; Spleen, abnormalities, 775.134, 775.1653 ; Spleen, CT, 775.12112 ; Spleen, MR, 775.12141 ; Spleen, radionuclide studies, 775.12171 ; Spleen, size, 775.372 ; Spleen, US, 775.1298INTRODUCTION Section: Choose prevnext The spleen in infants and children is commonly involved in a wide variety of pathologic conditions.

The mesenchymal cells of the splenic primordium differentiate to form the capsule, connective tissue framework, and splenic parenchyma.

Describe the various solid and cystic retroperitoneal masses.•. Recognize the imaging features of various retroperitoneal masses.•. Discuss some of the specific imaging features that can narrow the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext Primary retroperitoneal masses, which originate in the retroperitoneum but outside the major retroperitoneal organs, are uncommon and can be divided primarily into solid and cystic masses, each of which can be further subdivided into neoplastic and nonneoplastic masses ( Tables 1, 2 ). Of the primary retroperitoneal neoplasms, 70%–80% are malignant in nature, and these account for 0.1%–0.2% of all malignancies in the body ( 1, 2 ). Because the treatment options vary, it is useful to be able to noninvasively distinguish these masses. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging play an important role in characterization (size, shape, wall thickness, septa, calcification, and fat content) and the assessment of the extent of the disease and involvement of adjacent and distant structures ( 1, 3, 4 ). Although CT is best for assessing calcification, MR imaging has superior soft-tissue contrast, which is useful for staging and the assessment of vascular invasion, as well as for evaluating the fat content of lesions. Ultrasonography (US) plays a relatively limited role in the evaluation of masses, except for the assessment of vascular invasion, which could be performed better with CT and MR imaging. The differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses can be narrowed down to a certain extent on the basis of imaging characteristics, patterns of involvement, and demographics; however, there is a substantial overlap of imaging findings, and histologic examination is often required for definitive diagnosis.

In the areas of the skeleton where bones move (for example, the ribcage and joints), cartilage, a semi-rigid form of connective tissue, provides flexibility and smooth surfaces for movement. The skeletal system is the body system composed of bones and cartilage and performs the following critical functions for the human body:supports the bodyfacilitates movementprotects internal organsproduces blood cellsstores and releases minerals and fat Support, Movement, and Protection The most apparent functions of the skeletal system are the gross functions—those visible by observation. Simply by looking at a person, you can see how the bones support, facilitate movement, and protect the human body. Just as the steel beams of a building provide a scaffold to support its weight, the bones and cartilage of your skeletal system compose the scaffold that supports the rest of your body. Without the skeletal system, you would be a limp mass of organs, muscle, and skin. Bones also facilitate movement by serving as points of attachment for your muscles. While some bones only serve as a support for the muscles, others also transmit the forces produced when your muscles contract. From a mechanical point of view, bones act as levers and joints serve as fulcrums ( Figure 1 )." }, { "docid": "D1674365#0", "title": "https://www.studystack.com/flashcard-68892\n.", "text": "\"A&P Chp 6 Bone & Ske Anatomy & Physiology I - Chapter 6: Bone and Skeletal Tissue Question Answer Cartilage tissue is mostly water The skeletal cartilage has no nerves or blood vessels, is surrounded by a layer of dense irregular connective tissue called perichondrium What is contain in the perichondrium? blood vessels Name the three types of skeletal cartilages hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilages What are the most abundant skeletal cartilages that provide flexibility?

[ 2] In birds and mammals, bone marrow is the primary site of new blood cell production or hematopoiesis. [ 3] It is composed of hematopoietic cells, marrow adipose tissue, and supportive stromal cells. On average, bone marrow constitutes 4% of the total body mass of humans; in an adult having 65 kilograms of mass (143 lb), bone marrow typically accounts for approximately 2.6 kilograms (5.7 lb). [ 4] Human marrow produces approximately 500 billion blood cells per day, which join the systemic circulation via permeable vasculature sinusoids within the medullary cavity. [ 5] All types of hematopoietic cells, including both myeloid and lymphoid lineages, are created in bone marrow; however, lymphoid cells must migrate to other lymphoid organs (e.g. thymus) in order to complete maturation. Bone marrow transplants can be conducted to treat severe diseases of the bone marrow, including certain forms of cancer such as leukemia. Additionally, bone marrow stem cells have been successfully transformed into functional neural cells, [6] and can also potentially be used to treat illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease.

The first of such stem cell lines forms in the mesoblast (extraembryonic mesoderm) of the umbilical vesicle (stage 7, ca. 19 days, 7 ). Recent investigations ( 1, 2) have shown that definitive stem cell lines for hematopoiesis probably come from a center within the embryo.

A normal spleen weighs 150 g and is approximately 11 cm in craniocaudal length. [ 2]The normal spleen is usually not palpable, although it can sometimes be palpated in adolescents and individuals with a slender build. However, an enlarged or palpable spleen is not necessarily of clinical significance. For example, certain individuals with broadly splayed costal margins have readily palpable, but small, spleens.

Blood Cells Affected in Pancytopenia Specifically, pancytopenia refers to a deficiency of: Red blood cells (RBCs): RBCs are the cells which bind and carry oxygen to the tissues of the body. White blood cells (WBCs): There are several types of white blood cells (WBCs) which are further broken down into granulocytes (including neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), and agranulocytes (including lymphocytes and monocytes). These cells are responsible for fighting off infections among other functions. Platelets: Platelets are responsible for blood clotting.

Thus, the Continental Congress had no powers incidental to those which were \"\"expressly delegated\"\" by the Articles of Confederation. [ 2] By contrast, the Necessary and Proper Clause expressly confers incidental powers upon Congress, while no other clauses in the Constitution do so by themselves. [ 2]The draft Necessary and Proper Clause provoked controversy during discussions of the proposed constitution, and its inclusion became a focal point of criticism for those opposed to the Constitution's ratification. While Anti-Federalists expressed concern that the clause would grant the federal government boundless power, Federalists argued that the clause would only permit execution of power already granted by the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton spoke vigorously for this second interpretation in The Federalist Papers. At this time James Madison concurred with Hamilton, arguing in Federalist No. 44 that without this clause, the constitution would be a \"\"dead letter\"\". At the Virginia Ratifying Convention, Patrick Henry took the opposing view, saying that the clause would lead to limitless federal power that would inevitably menace individual liberty. [" } ]

Generally speaking, this clause allows Congress to make any law it deems essential and appropriate. This clause is often called the 'elastic clause' because it expands the powers of Congress beyond the powers already enumerated in the Constitution.

According to the 10th Amendment, all powers not specifically granted to Congress by the Constitution belong to the states and the people. Enumerated Powers Section 3 of Article I gives the Senate sole power to try all impeachments, while Section 7 grants power over all federal spending to the House of Representatives.

Lincoln's power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus was extensively explored during the Civil War, but since then his suspensions have escaped detailed scrutiny despite the controversy they provoked, their widespread and effective use to combat malignant opposition to the war, and their uncertain grounding in the Constitution. This scholarly inattention is surprising, but there are a number of possible explanations. Probing the constitutional validity of the suspensions requires a textual analysis of the Constitution that is more congenial to lawyers than to scholars. The crisis Lincoln faced and the stature he has achieved make it easy for historians to justify his actions without examining them. If a president has the power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, his power exists only in the event of rebellion or invasion, neither of which is likely to occur, so why burden history with musty law? For whatever reasons, there has been no in-depth scholarly analysis of Lincoln's actions since the Civil War and little evaluation of that analysis since an 1888 article by S. G. Fisher. All accounts of Lincoln's presidency discuss the habeas corpus suspensions, of course, and many of them take sides for or against Lincoln, but the constitutional issue is not considered in detail. This is true even of James Randall's Constitutional Problems Under Lincoln, a brilliant synthesis of history and law. William Duker and law professors Daniel Farber and Akhil Reed Amar have examined the issue, but, as we will see, their constitutional analyses are brief, superficial, and flawed." }, { "docid": "D2665957#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denied_powers\nArticle One of the United States Constitution", "text": "\"Article One of the United States Constitution From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Denied powers)navigation search Wikisource has original text related to this article: Article 1 of the United States Constitution This article is part of a series on the Constitution of the United States of America Preamble and Articles of the Constitution Preamble I II III IV V VI VIIAmendments to the Constitution Bill of Rights I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX XXI XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII XIX XXXXI XXII XXIII XXIV XXV XXVI XXVIIUnratified Amendments Congressional Apportionment Titles of Nobility Corwin Child Labor Equal Rights D.

Section 1 is a vesting clause that bestows federal legislative power exclusively to Congress. Similar clauses are found in Articles II and III. The former confers executive power upon the President alone, and the latter grants judicial power solely to the federal judiciary. These three articles create a separation of powers among the three branches of the federal government. This separation of powers, by which each department may exercise only its own constitutional powers and no others, [1] [2] is fundamental to the idea of a limited government accountable to the people. The separation of powers principle is particularly noteworthy in regard to the Congress. The Constitution declares that the Congress may exercise only those legislative powers \"\"herein granted\"\" within Article I (as later limited by the Tenth Amendment ).

United States. In that case, Congress is claiming a power under the Treaty Clause that is outside the list expressly granted to it by the Constitution. Under the Constitution as originally understood, the short answer is: “No, a treaty can’t override the Constitution. The treaty has the force only of a statute, not of a super-constitution. ”But the full answer is more complicated. This is because the Founding-Era evidence does suggest that the Constitution enables the federal government to acquire significant—although not unlimited—additional power by entering into treaties. First, let’s examine powers the federal government cannot obtain by treaty: Treaties cannot override the first eight amendments in the Bill of Rights or the Constitution’s other specific exceptions to federal authority (such as the ban on taxing exports). Those provisions were adopted to deny the federal government authority it otherwise might have.

When George Washington asked Alexander Hamilton to defend the constitutionality of the First Bank of the United States against the protests [1] of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Attorney General Edmund Randolph, Hamilton produced what has now become the classic statement for implied powers. [ 2] Hamilton argued that the sovereign duties of a government implied the right to use means adequate to its ends. Although the United States government was sovereign only as to certain objects, it was impossible to define all the means it should use, because it was impossible for the founders to anticipate all future exigencies. Hamilton noted that the \"\" general welfare clause \"\" and the \"\" necessary and proper clause \"\" gave elasticity to the Constitution. Hamilton won the argument with Washington, who signed the bank bill into law. Later, directly borrowing from Hamilton, Chief Justice John Marshall invoked the implied powers of government in the United States Supreme Court case, Mc Culloch v. Maryland. In 1816, the United States Congress passed legislation creating the Second Bank of the United States. The state of Maryland attempted to tax the bank.

The Senate is a more deliberative body than the House of Representatives because the Senate is smaller and its members serve longer terms, allowing for a more collegial and less partisan atmosphere that is somewhat more insulated from public opinion than the House. The Senate is considered a more prestigious body than the House of Representatives on account of its longer terms, smaller membership, and larger constituencies. Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 \"\"To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes\"\" The clause was intended to address a weakness in the Articles of Confederation that allowed states to raise barriers to trade between themselves. The clause gives the federal government the ability to keep trade regular between the states. Modern interpretations have used this clause to give broad powers to Congress that were never intended by the founders. The founders gave congress the authority to eliminate trade barriers between states to protect the individual citizen's right to engage (or refrain from engaging) in commerce with entities in other states. Modern courts have expanded the scope of this clause to encompass anything that, at the determination of Congress, affects interstate commerce.

Chief Justice Marshall wrote, \"\"Let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consistent with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional. \"\" Collecting Taxes Article I Section 8 gives Congress the power to levy and collect taxes.

Some gentlemen, he knew, were of opinion that the business of the United States could be better transacted by a single person than by many; but this was not the intention of the Constitution. It was provided that the Government should be administered by Representatives, of the people's choice; so that every man, who has the right of voting, shall be in some measure concerned in making every law for the United States. The establishment of post roads he considered as a very important object; but he did not wish to see them so diffused as to become a heavy charge where the advantage resulting from them would be but small; nor, on the other hand, for the sake of bringing a revenue into the Treasury, consent to straiten them so as to check the progress of information. If the post office were to be regulated by the will of a single person, the dissemination of intelligence might be impeded, and the people kept entirely in the dark with respect to the transactions of Government; or the Postmaster, if vested with the whole power, might branch out the offices to such a degree as to make them prove a heavy burden to the United States. In many instances the expense is productive of a benefit sufficient to counterbalance it; in others, no public benefit arises, but some individuals reap a private advantage from the institution, whilst it is injurious to others.

S. Constitution, though it is also the most controversial. The Clause gives Congress the authority to use powers not explicitly named in the Constitution, if they are necessary in order to perform its responsibilities as outlined in the Constitution. In other words, Congress may do whatever is “necessary and proper” to do its job. To explore this concept, consider the following Elastic Clause definition. Definition of Elastic Clause Noun A clause within the United States Constitution that grants Congress the power to pass whatever laws are deemed “necessary and proper” to help Congress to carry out the enumerated powers. Origin1788 Ratification of the U. S. Constitution (the term Elastic Clause is an Americanism adopted in the early 20th century)What is the Elastic Clause Located in Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the U. S. Constitution, the Elastic Clause is so named because of the flexibility it gives to Congress when it comes to exercising its enumerated powers. Like an elastic band, the Clause can be metaphorically “stretched” to meet Congress’ needs, or “contracted” to rein in Congress, if necessary. The Elastic Clause specifically states that Congress shall have the authority …“To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers …”Other names for the Elastic Clause include the “Basket Clause,” the “Coefficient Clause,” and the “Sweeping Clause. ”Enumerated Powers Enumerated powers are the backbone of Congressional authority, as the Constitution specifically lists what Congress is permitted to do, and what authority is reserved for the individual states, and the people. Both Congress and the Supreme Court are notorious for their broad interpretations of just what are considered to be enumerated powers." } ]

If muscle spasms are especially painful, if they do not resolve or if they recur, medical care should be accessed to look for other possible underlying causes. Smooth muscles that are within the walls of hollow organs (like the colon) can go into spasm, causing significant pain. Often this pain is colicky, meaning that it comes and goes.

How do you do it? And does it really live up to the hype?by Brad Walker | First Published February 8, 2015 | Updated September 11, 2017Dynamic Stretching has received a lot of attention lately, and rightfully so. It’s a great form of stretching that is essential for many sports that require high levels of explosive power and speed. So let’s take a closer look at dynamic stretching. What is Dynamic Stretching? Although there are many different ways to stretch, they can all be grouped into one of two categories; static or dynamic. The term dynamic stretching (or dynamic stretches) refers to any stretching exercise that is performed with movement. In other words, the individual uses a swinging or bouncing movement to extend their range of motion (ROM) and flexibility.

Why? Whilst some injuries are true accidents in the sense of being unavoidable, many are the result of your body being unprepared for tasks that you have set it. There is an unwritten law among both élite athletes and casual exercisers that a warm-up prior to exercising is essential for any programme to be successful, and is an important part of prevention of injuries. However, within the population of dance teachers and students there has been confusion in the past as to what that warm-up should involve. Many in the Ballet world have believed that the preparatory exercises at the barre constitute the warm-up, but this is a fallacy. The body needs to be thoroughly warmed up before any set exercises take place if they are to be carried out as successfully and safely as possible. A good warm-up is a group of exercises performed immediately before an activity that provides the body with a period of adjustment from rest to exercise. It is designed to improve performance and reduce the chance of injury by preparing the dancer mentally as well as physically. A warm-up should have the following beneficial effects:•Increased elasticity of the muscle/ tendon unit. This allows greater flexibility of the joints and reduces the risk of injury." }, { "docid": "D2582585#0", "title": "http://www.stretchify.com/isometric-stretching/\nIsometric Stretching", "text": "Isometric Stretchingadmin | June 28, 2013 | 2 Replies Isometric stretching is a distinct type of static stretching (that is, involving no motion) which aims at increasing someone’s flexibility by executing isometric contractions of the stretched muscles. Like static stretching, it does not involve motion, while many fitness experts state that is one of the most potent ways of increasing static-passive flexibility, being more effective compared to either passive (more info here) or active stretching (detailed article here ). How Isometric Stretching Works Being a distant relative of static stretching, isometric stretching applies a different principle than it; rather than stretching to a certain point and holding that stretch, the latter actually introduces the resistance of your muscles through performing isometric contractions (tensing) of the already stretched muscles being subjected to an ordinary passive stretch. By doing so, and with some of the muscle fibers already being stretched prior to initiating the contraction, your muscles are able to overcome the earliest passive stretch, tackling the stretch reflex and inducing the lengthening reaction, which in turn prevents the stretched fibers from contracting thus enabling the trainee to apply a new, passive stretch that will go deeper. In addition, after an isometric stretch, the fibers which were put through it are able to “remember” that ability to stretch beyond their natural limit, ultimately resulting in wider range of motion. The last two sentences sum up the main advantage of Isometric stretches The above described principle of isometric stretching is hugely implemented in the more complicated PNF stretching, during which the trainee follows a sequence of passive-isometric-deeper passive stretch. Isometric Stretching Exercises Below are presented a handful of isometric stretches for random body areas; in any case, do not experiment with any of these exercises without carefully browsing through our Stretching Guide: A nice exercise which can introduce you to isometric stretching is the popular “side split”, adapted to this particular type. So, assume a seated position on the floor and begin opening your legs until you reach your flexibility limit (in principle, just as if you were performing an ordinary passive/static side split stretch); now, instead of just holding to that position for the typical 20-30 seconds, try to pull your legs against the floor as if you were trying to close them together, and thus you will have carried out an isometric stretch! Hold your stretch for 20-30 seconds (photo 1). Another one for the glutes: Lie supine on the floor with your feet initially touching a wall and with your knees forming a 90-degree angle with your thighs; now, take the left leg off the wall and cross it over the right one, so that the back of the left sole rests onto the right leg’s knee; next, grab the back part of your right thigh with both your hands and pull it towards your chest while moving its toes also backwards; now, rather than just holding the stretch there, try to push the tailbone of the left side down to the ground; hold your stretch for 20-30 seconds (photo 2)." }, { "docid": "D389700#0", "title": "https://sites.google.com/site/lifesciencesinmaine/16-skin-bones-and-muscles\n16.

While static stretching takes a muscle to its full length and holds it there for 15 to 60 seconds, a dynamic stretch takes soft tissues to their full length and rather than holding it, after a brief pause of 3 to five seconds, the muscle being stretched contracts and the muscles and tendons exert a force in that lengthened position. In this way we can lengthen the muscle, strengthen it in its new range, and also work on balance and coordination. It also provides a good warmup before a sport or activity. Dynamic stretching exercises have been shown to improve performance when done before an activity that requires a lot of power, strength or speed. All movements during a dynamic stretch are done deliberately and slowly so as to avoid activating the stretch reflex at the end of the movement and movements used are those that mimic those movements used in a specific sport but in a controlled yet exaggerated manner.

When massaging, it’s best to rub in the direction of the muscle fibers. So, if you get a charley horse in your calf, rub from your knee down to your heel, not sideways across the calf.

The muscular system, in vertebrates, is controlled through the nervous system, although some muscles, like cardiac muscle, can be completely autonomous. Muscle is contractile tissue and is derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells. Its function is to produce force and cause motion, either locomotion or movement within internal organs. Much of muscle contraction occurs without conscious thought and is necessary for survival, like the contraction of the heart or peristalsis, which pushes food through the digestive system. Voluntary muscle contraction is used to move the body and can be finely controlled, such as movements of the finger or gross movements that of the biceps and triceps. Muscle structure Muscle is composed of muscle cells (sometimes known as \"\"muscle fibers\"\"). Within the cells are myofibrils; myofibrils contain sarcomeres which are composed of actin and myosin.

The Englishman spent a decade at a university trying to find the one true language of the universe. Before traveling to northern Africa, he studied Esperanto, an international language, then religions of the world, and finally alchemy. To the Englishman's dismay, however, the alchemists he has met won't teach him what he wants to know — perhaps, he conjectures, because they don't know it themselves. Surrounded by thick books, he awaits the departure of a caravan for Egypt. He hopes to travel through the Sahara desert to the Al-Fayoum oasis on the way there, reportedly the home of a two-hundred-year-old alchemist who can turn any metal into gold. After meeting the Englishman, Santiago removes Urim and Thummim from his pocket and is surprised when the Englishman shouts their names. The Englishman tells Santiago that the stones aren't valuable, then removes two identical stones from his own pocket. Santiago tells him that the stones came from a king, a fact which the Englishman is not surprised to learn. \"\" It was shepherds who were the first to recognize a king that the rest of the world refused to acknowledge,\"\" he says." } ]

The three Elrics lived in peace in the rural village and the boys began displaying a remarkable talent for alchemy at a young age, much to the joyful astonishment of their mother. However, early in the year 1904, Trisha contracted an illness that had been spreading in the area and died, leaving her two sons orphaned. Alphonse, devastated by the loss of his mother, began to fear that he and his brother would not be able to survive without her, but twisted hope returned to the boy's heart when Edward vowed that the two of them would find a way to bring their dear mother back to life with the power of alchemy. Alphonse and Edward spent the next few years living on their own in the Elric family home, supported by their close childhood friend Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako, while pursuing the alchemical knowledge necessary for their planned resurrection. Although they had gained a great deal of information and comprehension regarding the extended basics of the craft, before long it became apparent to the young prodigies that there was only so far they could go while being self-taught. In a stroke of good fortune, Resembool was visited by an exceptionally skilled alchemist named Izumi Curtis who, after some persuasion, agreed to take the Elric brothers on as her apprentices provided they pass a preliminary test. She brought the boys to Yock Island near the town of Dublith in the southern region, where she informed them that they were to survive for one full month without alchemy. If, at the end of their ordeal, they could correctly explain the concept \"\"One is All and All is One\"\", they would begin their training under her wing.

Why does this novel resonate with so many? In his introduction to the English translation, Coelho at first claims not to know, but he goes on to suggest that perhaps it's because “we all need to be aware of our personal calling.” This, I am sure, is one of its many appeals, but it's not the only one, nor is it as blithely positive as it might seem.

Methods in the Study of Western Esotericism By Arthur Versluis Until comparatively recently, there was very little scholarship on Western esotericism as a field. There were, of course, various articles and books on aspects of Western esotericism like alchemy or Rosicrucianism, but there was virtually no sense in the scholarly world that these disparate tributaries of thought formed a larger current of Western esotericism as such. One finds landmark studies in the mid-twentieth century by authors like Frances Yates, but no one who demarcated “Western esotericism” as a field for interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary study. This situation was to change with the work of Antoine Faivre (1934-) who, in the last quarter of the twentieth century, with numerous major books and articles defined an entire field of inquiry. Faivre holds a chair in the École Pratique des Hautes Études at the Sorbonne in the “Histoire des courants ésotériques et mystiques dans l’Europe moderne et contemporaine,” and his work represents the first strictly academic overview of Western esotericism. In his view, it is best to speak of Western esotericism in terms of “forms of thought” rather than in terms of “occult tradition” or similar terminology. He is interested in delineating the elements that make up particular ways of thinking we can mark as “esoteric,” and this methodological approach has been widely accepted. In his definitive book Accès de l’ésotérisme occidental, (1996), he demarcates four primary and two secondary characteristics that he sees as common to all the various currents of Western esotericism. Faivre’s six characteristics are, again, as follows: 1." }, { "docid": "D3229168#0", "title": "http://www.sacred-texts.com/tarot/sot/sot01.htm\nWHAT IS THE TAROT?", "text": "\"Sacred Texts Tarot Tarot Reading Index Previous Nextp. 3WHAT IS THE TAROT? No study of occult philosophy is possible without an acquaintance with symbolism, for if the words occultism and symbolism are correctly used, they mean almost one and the same thing. Symbolism cannot be learned as one learns to build bridges or speak a foreign language, and for the interpretation of symbols a special cast of mind is necessary; in addition to knowledge, special faculties, the power of creative thought and a developed imagination are required. One who understands the use of symbolism in the arts, knows, in a general way, what is meant by occult symbolism. But even then a special training of the mind is necessary, in order to comprehend the \"\"language of the Initiates\"\", and to express in this language the intuitions as they arise. There are many methods for developing the \"\"sense of symbols\"\" in those who are striving to understand the hidden forces of Nature and Man, and for teaching the fundamental principles as well as the elements of the esoteric language. The most synthetic, and one of the most interesting of these methods, is the Tarot In its exterior form the Tarot is a pack of cardsp. 4used in the south of Europe for games and fortune-telling.

Will Fate is constantly intertwined with will, and a key theme of the book focuses on how much in life is under one's control, and how much is controlled by fate. The old king states that the world's greatest lie is that \"\"at some point during our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.\"\" While this point of view strongly supports that will has a stronger hold on one's destiny, later events, such as Santiago and the alchemist being caught by warring tribes, demonstrate fate's hold on one's life. However, in every situation where fate does take over, the characters are capable to excavate themselves from the situation. For, instance, after being caught by the tribal chief, Santiago is able to turn himself into the wind, demonstrate his power, and is released. Love Love is described as a part of the Soul of the World. Love occurs in life and Nature, as everything supports each other, they love each other. Santiago tells the desert that it shows love for the alchemist's falcon by offering it game, after which the falcon shows love to man as it offers the game to eat, and the man shows love for the desert as after one dies, his body is reintegrated into the desert sands.

The optic nerve connects your eyes to your brain. It carries the visual messages that you see to your brain. An injury to your optic nerve is called traumatic optic neuropathy. If your injury is severe, you may have permanent changes in your vision. What is the cause? Traumatic optic neuropathy can be caused by a direct injury to the optic nerve, or injuries near the nerve can cause damage from swelling, bleeding, or infections. Damage can happen with any injury to your head or eye socket such as: Falls Car or bike accidents Sports injuries Being punched, kicked, stabbed or shot in your eye Complications of surgery in your eye socket, brain or sinuses What are the symptoms? Symptoms may include: Vision loss in one eye that may worsen over several days Trouble seeing colors or everything looking dim Pain and swelling in your eye How is it diagnosed? Your eye care provider will ask about your symptoms and medical history and do exams and tests such as: An exam using a microscope with a light attached, called a slit lamp, to look closely at the front and back of your eye An exam using drops to enlarge, or dilate, your pupils and a light to look into the back of your eyes A test of the way your pupils react to light." } ]

How nerve cells work The central nervous system The peripheral nervous system Dr Kate says What is the nervous system? The nervous system is the highway along which your brain sends and receives information about what is happening in the body and around it. This highway is made up of billions of nerve cells, or neurons (say new-rons) which join together to make nerves. A nerve is a fibre that sends impulses through the body. These fibres are covered by fatty substance called myelin (say my-e-lin). Myelin helps the messages go fast through the neurons. Nerve cells work by a mixture of chemical and electrical action.

The brain stem acts as a bridge between the lower most part of your brain (cerebellum) and your spinal cord; it carries messages through your nerves to your brain and messages from your brain through your nerves back to your body parts. The brain stem is also made up of several different structures that control some of the most basic functions that keep you alive – your breathing, your heart rate and your blood pressure. The brain stem also coordinates such things as eye movements, movement of the jaw, tongue and larynx, your facial expressions, and sensations and movements of your neck and head; the brain stem accomplishes that through the cranial nerves that pass through it. Basically, all nerve communication between the brain and the spinal cord passes through the brain stem, so you can certainly understand its importance!Any type of injury to the brain stem could be devastating.

This is why one friend with MS may seem to be highly functional, and another friend with MS is unable to work due to her MS-related disabilities. In addition to the unique types of symptoms seen in MS, symptoms also vary in duration; some come and go, some are permanent. Also, symptoms vary in intensity—some are mild and bearable, and others are severe and disabling.

Sensory reception and perception entail the translation of these signals, which represent changes in the matter or energy of the environment, into processes within the body and brain. For example, if you eat a cookie, your sense of taste translates the chemical data from that cookie into the sensation of sweetness, a sensation your brain most likely perceives as a pleasing one. In everyday language, people are accustomed to speaking of five senses possessed by humans and, to a greater or lesser degree, by other animals: sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste. The reality is rather more complex. For one thing, there are not really just five senses; rather, there are at least five others—and there may be more, depending on just how one defines and classifies the senses. These other senses include the kinesthetic sense, or the discernment of motion; the sensation of temperature, or distinguishing relative heat and cold; the awareness of pressure; the sense of equilibrium or balance; and the perception of pain. All of these senses involve a response to stimuli, which may be defined as any phenomenon (that is, an observable fact or event, such as an environmental change) that directly influences the activity or growth of a living organism. Each of these senses has a biological component as well as a physical or a chemical one. In the next few paragraphs, we briefly discuss what this means, first by considering the nervous system in general terms and then by looking at the physical and chemical receptors that transmit data through that system." }, { "docid": "D2120954#0", "title": "http://www.frontsplitsfast.com/why-is-it-that-i-feel-nauseous-or-lightheaded-when-i-am-stretching\nWhy is it that I feel Nauseous or Lightheaded when I am Stretching?", "text": "Why is it that I feel Nauseous or Lightheaded when I am Stretching?

Obviously (well, perhaps not so obvious - see section 5 ), the light from these objects needed billions of years to reach us, and therefore the universe has to be billions of years old. But many people don't know how the distances to astronomical objects can be measured and think there may be something wrong with the methods of the scientists, that perhaps all objects we see in the sky are no farther away than some thousand light years, and hence the YECs could be right anyway. Therefore, in this FAQ, I will try to explain the methods which are used in astronomy, and try to answer some of the standard objections raised by YECs. I will concentrate on the best-known and most used methods; more information can be found e.g. at Stellar Astronomy and The ABC's of Distances.b) General outline For measuring distances to astronomical objects, one uses a kind of \"\"ladder\"\" of different methods; each method goes only to a limited distance, and each method which goes to a larger distance builds (in general, but not always) on the data of the method (s) before. The starting point is knowing the distance from the earth to our sun; this distance is called one astronomical unit (AU) and is roughly 150 million kilometers. I think that even YECs agree on this number, hence I don't discuss here where one gets it from.

Any shipment sailing from port of loading July 1st, 2013, onwards will fall under this rule which is applicable for all import documents destined to Bangladesh. Carriers or freight forwarders will not be able to submit manifest without AIN or BIN, shipments could otherwise not be discharged. Also, consignees will not be able to clear the goods if the same is not correctly mentioned or mismatched: BIN* is also mandatory when CONSIGNEE is “TO THE ORDER OF BANK” and NOTIFY PARTY is the actual importer in Bangladesh. AIN* is mandatory when CONSIGNEE and NOTIFY PARTY are forwarders/NVOCCs who are only authorized by Bangladesh Customs to submit Import General Manifest (IGM) at their own responsibility. CMA CGM have instructed its documentation teams in local agencies to ensure that shippers/forwarders incorporate the correct AIN* or BIN* number in their shipping instruction while submitting to the CMA CGM. * The term BIN stands for Business Identification Number, also known as VAT registration number. For bills of lading consigned to forwarder then the AIN (Agent Identification Number) will need to be mentioned on bill of lading instead of BIN.

After becoming the ALRAMS Air Force in 1972, major investment assured an expansion in terms of capabilities, quality and quantity of aircraft. [ 1] Training and instruction was provided by the Pakistan Air Force. Neighbour Emirate of Dubai maintained its own air component, the Dubai Defence Force Air Wing, until 1999, when the two were effectively merged to become what is now the United Arab Emirates Air Force. Although the integration of the two independent forces has been complete, a small degree of autonomy exists at the operational command level, with the Western Air Command being headquartered in Abu Dhabi and the Central Air Command in Dubai. [ 1]Since the 1980s, a combination of regional instability and high oil prices has resulted in an ambitious modernisation of the UAEAF, with the goal of attaining a level of capability matching the highest NATO standards.

She has been known by other names, such as the Lady of the Lake, the Goddess of the Earth and Nature, and the Goddess of Luck and Magick. As well, there are some people who actually believe that she might be an aspect of The Morrigan. Aine was the daughter of Eogabail, a member of the Tuatha da Danaan and the foster son of the Sea God Manannan Mac Lir, while other versions of this legend claim that she was actually married to Manannan Mac Lir himself. Aine has been viewed, at various times, as both a Sun Goddess and a Moon Goddess. While she was in her original role as a Sun Goddess, Aine was nicknamed “bright,” and it was when she was in that role that she was able to shape-shift into becoming “Lair Derg,” the ”Red Mare,” or the horse that never could be outrun. Traditionally, Sun Goddesses have been known as Goddesses of Love and Fertility, and Aine followed in that tradition with great enthusiasm. It was during a much later period in time that Aine developed the characteristics of a more maternal Moon Goddess, and was believed to guard her followers’ livestock and crops. There are farmers, even today, who perform the exact same rituals that their ancestors performed thousands of years ago. At midsummer, they walk through their fields and wave their torches, in the hope that Aine and her sacred fire might grant them an abundant harvest." }, { "docid": "D2983065#0", "title": "http://keralagovernment-homepage.blogspot.com/p/tds.html\nIncome Tax", "text": "Income Tax REFERENCE GUIDE ON TDS FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEESLast updated on 14-02-2018Income tax Slabs for financial year 2017-18 You can download the circular from Finance department for complete awareness of TDS dedeuction Circular No 01-2018-Fin Dated 06-01-2018ORhttps://goo.gl/LV4eep TDS CALCULATORS (Prepared by employees from different departments)Developed by SAJI V.

Graphite is the key component of modern day pencil lead —in fact, lead is a misnomer as it's actually made up of a mixture of graphite and clay. The formulation of this mixture determines its lead grade. The higher the proportion of graphite content relative to clay the lead has, the softer and darker the lead will be, and vice versa. Lead grade is an important consideration for both the artist and writer. The hardness of a lead affects its strength, smoothness, smudge resistance, and pigmentation. Writers can fine tune the darkness of their lines by moving a step up or down in lead hardness, while an artist can employ the full range of lead grades to achieve different effects.

[ 1] It was established by the American medical duo Pat and Marian Kennedy at the invitation of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan who was then the Governor of Al Ain. At the time of its establishment, Al Ain had very high infant and maternal mortality rates, with as many as one in two infants and one in three women dying for want of adequate medical care. So drastic was the impact of the hospital in reducing mortality that a simple wooden foetal heart monitor was chosen in 2011 as one of the 40 objects that shaped modern UAE by the National newspaper. [ 1]The Hospital initially operated out of a mud building, a guest house that was donated by Sheikh Zayed. A modest cement building housing patients' rooms and a nurses' station was constructed in 1964. Up until the 1970s when it added facilities like X-ray, a delivery suite and staff housing, facilities at the hospital remained rudimentary." }, { "docid": "D3457719#0", "title": "http://quranicnames.com/ayan/\nAyan", "text": "«Ayan»A Quranic Name for Boys and Girls Short meaning of Ayan Time, Era, Epoch See below for detailed meaning How to pronounce Ayan U ntil + pra Y + YA rd + N mber Each block is a syllable.

It is suggested, e.g., that it is a nickname applied in contempt by the Jews, being either shikkor, \"\"drunken,\"\" or sheqer, \"\"falsehood.\"\" Others think the form has arisen through change of \"\"m\"\" to \"\"r\"\" in pronunciation; as \"\"l\"\" to \"\"r\"\" in Beliar. These theories may safely be set aside.

To ask or answer a question, scroll down the page to the Question and Answer section. When you are working in a pharmacy there are some basic math calculations that you will use every day. It's important to have a solid understanding of these calculations, to ensure that you can accurately translate the amount of medication that is prescribed into a usable form for the patient. The most common calculation will happen when the amount of medication prescribed does not exactly match an amount in a dosage form. For example, if a prescription calls for the patient to take 3 grams of medication daily. The only pills you have available are 500 milligram capsules. To convert the prescribed dosage to milligrams, multiply grams by 1000. This means the prescription calls for 3000 milligrams daily, or six 500 milligram capsules. The key to being able to do these pharmacy technician math calculations quickly is in being able to understand the important information that is on the prescription." }, { "docid": "D2885557#0", "title": "http://prijom.com/posts/how-many-milligrams-go-into-1-gram.php\n.", "text": "How Many Milligrams Go Into 1 Gram Grams to Milligrams How many mg in a gram? : So to find out how many milligrams in grams, simply multiply it by 1000 or instead , use the converter below. 1 Gram = 1000 Milligrams.

Since I posted the recipes of tangzhong bread, I started receiving emails from readers asking the same question like this, “Could you convert (the recipe of xxx) from grams into cup measurement for me because I don’t have a kitchen scale?” I lost count of how many emails of such I received so far. I think it’s time to write a post to respond to all who might have the similar question. I pretty understand that it is quite confusing when spotting a recipe with different measurements. It might be disappointing too if you really like to give it a go, but don’t know how to convert to the measurement you used to. As a food blogger, seeing my readers succeed in trying my recipes will definitely motivate me and make me happy. Unfortunately, there’s no one formula to help convert different ingredients from one kind of measurement to another. The only way is to weight the ingredient one by one, then measure it by a cup/tablespoon, or vice versa. I don’t mind taking some time to go back all the requested recipes and convert them into cup measurement." }, { "docid": "D748064#0", "title": "http://convert-to.com/623/shredded-desiccated-coconut-conversion-with-nutritional-facts.html\nShredded coconut, dried/desiccated, amount and nutrition facts conversion", "text": "Advertisements Coconut shredded (desiccated, moisture removed) Conversion Results : Step 1: Enter an Amount to Convert* You may enter whole numbers, decimals or fractions (ie: 6, 5.33, 1/2, 3/4, 17 3/8) * Precision is how many numbers after decimal point (0 – 9)Enter Amount : Precision : Step 2: Select shredded coconut Measuring Unit to Convert From Step 3: Select shredded coconut Measuring Unit to Convert Tocup US of shredded coconutcup Metric of shredded coconutounce ( oz ) of shredded coconutpound ( lb )fluid ounce ( fl oz ) of shredded coconutgallon US ( gal )pint US ( pt ) liquidpint UK ( pt )quart US ( qt ) of shredded coconutquart dry US ( qt ) of shredded coconutgram ( g )dekagram ( dkg – deca – deka )kilogram ( kg – kilo )milliliter ( ml )deciliter ( dl – dcl )liter ( L )tablespoon ( Tbsp – tbls ) of shredded coconutteaspoon ( tsp – tspn ) of shredded coconut100g serve of shredded coconut US Legal Nutrition labeling cup ( = 240ml )kilojoules ( k J ) energycalories ( Cal ) energy Protein – gram ( g )Fat, total – gram ( g )– Saturated Fat – gram ( g )– Trans fatty acids – gram ( g )– Polyunsaturated Fat – gram ( g )– Monounsaturated Fat – gram ( g )Cholesterol – milligram ( mg )Total Carbohydrates – gram ( g )– Sugars – gram ( g )Dietary Fiber – gram ( g )Sodium in shredded coconut – milligrams ( mg )Potassium content – milligram ( mg )cup US of shredded coconutcup Metric of shredded coconutounce ( oz ) of shredded coconutpound ( lb )fluid ounce ( fl oz ) of shredded coconutgallon US ( gal )pint US ( pt ) liquidpint UK ( pt )quart US ( qt ) of shredded coconutquart dry US ( qt ) of shredded coconutgram ( g )dekagram ( dkg – deca – deka )kilogram ( kg – kilo )milliliter ( ml )deciliter ( dl – dcl )liter ( L )tablespoon ( Tbsp – tbls ) of shredded coconutteaspoon ( tsp – tspn ) of shredded coconut100g serve of shredded coconut US Legal Nutrition labeling cup ( = 240ml )kilojoules ( k J ) energycalories ( Cal ) energy Protein – gram ( g )Fat, total – gram ( g )– Saturated Fat – gram ( g )– Trans fatty acids – gram ( g )– Polyunsaturated Fat – gram ( g )– Monounsaturated Fat – gram ( g )Cholesterol – milligram ( mg )Total Carbohydrates – gram ( g )– Sugars – gram ( g )Dietary Fiber – gram ( g )Sodium in shredded coconut – milligrams ( mg )Potassium content – milligram ( mg )Shredded coconut, dried/desiccated, amount and nutrition facts conversion Nutritional information table for shredded coconut (desiccated, moisture removed)Nutrition Facts Serving Size 20g shredded coconut 5 Servings per 100 g 0.6 Servings per 1/8 cup (30ml – 11.8g) *Energy per 20g serving : Calories / Kilocalories132 Cal / kcal Kilojoules 552.2k JNutrients : Per 1/8 cup (30ml) Per 100g Energy325.6k J (77.8Cal) 2761k J (660Cal)Protein0.8g 6.88g Fat, Total7.6g 64.53g– saturated 6.75g 57.22g– trans fat 0.0g 0.0g– polyunsaturated fat 0.08g 0.71g– monounsaturated fat 0.3g 2.75g Cholesterol0.0 mg 0.0 mg Total Carbohydrate2.79g 23.65g Sugars 0.87g 7.35g Water 0.4g 3g Ash 0.23g 1.9g Dietary Fiber1.9g 16.3g Selenium, Se2.2 µg (micro gram) 18.5 µg (microgram)Sodium, Na4 mg 37 mg Potassium, K64 mg 543 mg Magnesium, Mg11 mg 90 mg Phosphorus, P24 mg 206 mg Zinc, Zn0.24 mg 2.01 mg Calcium, Ca3 mg 26 mg Iron, Fe0.39 mg 3.3 mg Copper, Cu0.09 mg 0.8 mg Manganese, Mn0.32 mg 2.75 mg Folate, Total1.02 µg (micro gram) 9 µg (microgram)Vitamin C – ascorbic acid0.2 mg 1.5 mg Vitamin E – alpha-tocopherol0.05 mg 0.44 mg Vitamin K – phylloquinone0.04 µg (micro gram) 0.3 µg (microgram)Ingredients: coconut (shredded desiccated – removed moisture) Storage instructions: Store in a cool, dry place Average expiry time: 1 year from production date * 1/8 US Legal Nutrition Labeling Cup equals 30ml Shredded coconut grams in a measuring cup amount (US measuring cup and Metric si cup) US cup = 93 grams = 3 ounces (3.28 oz net wt.)

Graben often occur side-by-side with horsts. Horst and graben structures indicate tensional forces and crustal stretching. Graben are produced from parallel normal faults, where the displacement of the hanging wall is downward, while that of the footwall is upward. The faults typically dip toward the center of the graben from both sides. Horsts are parallel blocks that remain between graben; the bounding faults of a horst typically dip away from the center line of the horst." } ]

Monoclines Monoclines are the simplest type of folds. The rock layers or strata are horizontal, but at different levels in height. A ramp-like incline connects the otherwise horizontal, flat layers.

Faults range in length from a few centimetres to many hundreds of kilometres, and displacement likewise may range from less than a centimetre to several hundred kilometres along the fracture surface (the fault plane). In some instances, the movement is distributed over a fault zone composed of many individual faults that occupy a belt hundreds of metres wide. The geographic distribution of faults varies; some large areas have almost none, others are cut by innumerable faults. Faults may be vertical, horizontal, or inclined at any angle. Although the angle of inclination of a specific fault plane tends to be relatively uniform, it may differ considerably along its length from place to place. When rocks slip past each other in faulting, the upper or overlying block along the fault plane is called the hanging wall, or headwall; the block below is called the footwall. The fault strike is the direction of the line of intersection between the fault plane and the surface of the Earth. The dip of a fault plane is its angle of inclination measured from the horizontal. Faults are classified according to their angle of dip and their relative displacement." }, { "docid": "D2039940#0", "title": "http://www.discovernewmexico.com/articles/rio_grande_gorge_geology/index.htm\n.", "text": "The Rio Grande Gorge and the Geology that Formed It By Linda Thompson Rio Grande Gorge ©Terry Thompson, High Mesa Productions.com (Taos, New Mexico) Spanish conquistadores discovered the mouth of the Rio Grande River in 1519. In the next 100 years they founded some of the earliest North American settlements along its banks. These explorers named the river El Río Grande, or 'the Great River.' However, it has been called many other names. The pueblo people called it Posoge, or P'Osoge, 'big river.' Shipwrecked British sailors crossed it in 1568 and called it 'the River of May.' Various Spaniards and Mexicans named it El Río de Nuestra Señora ('river of our lady'), El Río Guadalquivir, El Río Bravo, El Río del Norte, and El Río Turbio ('turbulent river'). On a map dated 1700, it appears as El Río del Norte y de Nuevo México. This river of many names, or at least the section that runs through northern New Mexico, is not a typical river that has carved out its own valley. Rather, the valley appeared first and the river followed. This 'rift valley' is a separation in the earth's crust caused by faulting and other earth movements when the North American and Pacific plates scraped against each other some twenty-nine million years ago." }, { "docid": "D2647561#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taupo_Volcanic_Zone\nTaupo Volcanic Zone", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Mount Ngauruhoe Satellite photo of the Lake Taupo caldera Volcano and lake/caldera locations in the Taupo Volcanic Zone.

Rocks deform Many students have a difficult time realizing that rocks can bend or break. They also may have difficulty imagining the forces necessary to fold or fault rocks or comprehending that the seemingly constant Earth can change dramatically over time. This is especially true of students who live in tectonically stable areas. If students are to understand the basics of stress and strain, they must overcome this barrier since it will be difficult to examine the causes and conditions of deformation if students cannot comprehend deformation. It is often helpful to have students create analog models of the structures present in rock photos or hand samples. Here is a picture of a structure known as boudinage (named after the French word for blood sausage - note the sausage-like structure). Can you make a similar structure using your Silly Putty ®? What kind of rate of strain is necessary to produce something similar (do you get the same result if you pull it apart quickly or more slowly)?

Jordan THE BALCONES ESCARPMENTIntroduction Driving on Interstate Highway 35 between Austin and San Antonio, one observes that the land to the east is for the most part relatively flat, whereas the land to the west is more rugged and higher, Austin, San Marcos, San Antonio and other towns along this part of the Interstate Highway 35 are all located at or near this obvious change in topography, which commonly is called an escarpment. Generally speaking, an escarpment is the relatively steep face that separates two regions of markedly different elevation. Along most of the Balcones Escarpment, the land to the west averages about 300 feet higher than the land to the east. FORMATION OF ESCARPMENTSMost escarpments, including the Balcones, are the result of differential erosion, which occurs when there are variations in the ability of exposed rock to resist erosion. The old saying \"\"the rain falls alike on the just and the unjust\"\" can be applied to resistant and non-resistant rocks. Erosional agents, such as rain, attack with essentially equal vigor all over the land along the Balcones Escarpment. But the rocks on the west side are more resistant to erosion, and have been worn down less than the rocks on the east side, with the passage of time and countless rainstorms. So, \"\"differential erosion\"\" describes the result of erosional processes acting on rocks with different properties -- properties which influence the rocks' susceptibility to erosion. Figure 36 is a profile of a hypothetical escarpment, showing locations of resistant and non-resistant rocks. ( BIGGER) Figure 36The face of the escarpment usually looks more scarred by erosion than any other part of the area, because erosive power of water is greater on the steep slope of the face." }, { "docid": "D2133193#0", "title": "https://prezi.com/csqdnuyk5isa/mt-unzen-japan/\nMt.

Unzen's History How often has it erupted? Over actually recorded history, the answer is as follows: 1663, 1792, 1990/1991 almost continually to 1994/1995. When did eruption begin? Mount Unzen is part of Shimabara Peninsula, which has seen extensive volcanism over thousands of years. The oldest volcanic deposits in the region date from over 6 million years ago, and extensive eruptions occurred over the whole peninsula between 2.5 and 0.5 million years ago. Were deaths and damage common with Mt. Unzen's eruptions? Deaths and damages are not \"\"Common\"\" with the eruptions of Mt.

Recall that stress is a force acting on a material that produces a strain. Stress is a force applied over an area and therefore has units of Force/area (like lb/in 2 ). Pressure is a stress where the forces act equally from all directions.

The Basin and Range possesses perhaps the most unique topography of the Western United States. It covers a large area of the US, extending to the Rocky Mountain, Southwestern, and South Central states. Basin and Range topography is characterized by alternating valleys and mountainous areas, oriented in a north-south, linear direction. The entire region, including all of Nevada, southeastern California, and southeastern Oregon, consists of high mountain ranges (mostly running north-south) alternating with low valleys. The formation of this topography is directly related to tectonic forces that led to crustal extension (pulling of the crust in opposite directions). After the Laramide Orogeny —the mountain-building event that created the Rockies—ended in the Paleogene, tectonic processes stretched and broke the crust, and the upward movement of magma weakened the lithosphere from underneath. Around 20 million years ago, the crust along the Basin and Range stretched, thinned, and faulted into some 400 mountain blocks. The pressure of the mantle below uplifted some blocks, creating elongated peaks and leaving the lower blocks below to form down-dropped valleys. The boundaries between the mountains and valleys are very sharp, both because of the straight faults between them and because many of those faults are still active." }, { "docid": "D1465935#0", "title": "http://www.thefreedictionary.com/graben\ngraben", "text": "graben Also found in: Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

The depressed areas of a rift valley are formed by one or more grabens. A graben is a fallen portion of land with faults on 2 or more sides.

One of the first to recognise how plate tectonics could be applied to the geological record was J. Tuzo Wilson. If continents rift apart to form ocean basins, other oceans must close. This may be repeated throughout Earth history. Example: the IAPETUS ocean between England & Scotland in the Lower Palaeozoic, closed in the Caledonian; later opening of the Atlantic, almost in the same place. The cycle is known as the Wilson Cycle: (1) Rifting of continents by mantle diapirism (2) Continental drift, seafloor spreading & formation of ocean basins (3) Progressive closure of ocean basins by subduction of ocean lithosphere (4) Continental collision and final closure of ocean basin The two diagrams below (Figs 1 & 2) illustrate some simple (if old) concepts of continental rifting (e.g. the Gondwana continent) at the start of the Wilson Cycle. Uprising plume causes doming of crust with magma chamber developing underneath. As extension continues, an ocean basin forms, and thick sedimentary sequences develop at continental margins as rivers dump sediments in deep water. However in reality may be a bit more complex . . .

For the most part, it only makes sense to move it if the C: drive is full. Outlook 2013 IMAP ost files are moved using the Force PSTPath key. Moving the offline cache so its easier to back it up is generally pointless: it's an offline copy of your Exchange mailbox and it can only be opened by the account that created it. If you try to use an old cache file, Outlook will complain that it doesn't match the server mailbox. If the server fails and there is no server backup, the contents of the current, most up-to-date *.ost can be used to repopulate the server. In short, if you want a usable backup of your mailbox, export the contents to a *.pst file instead of including the *.ost in a backup file.

Using Outlook in Unicode mode is especially advantageous for organizations with multilingual needs and — because Outlook Unicode-formatted files have higher storage capacities than non-Unicode files — for users who need very large Outlook files. Taking advantage of Unicode support in Outlook depends on specific criteria that are checked when users run Outlook. If the criteria for using Unicode are met and users are running in Unicode mode, Unicode is used throughout Outlook when it is used with Exchange Server (for e-mail messages, the Address Book, and so forth). If the criteria for using Unicode are met, you can enforce migrating users to Unicode if that is important in your organization.

Deleting something for good when connected to Exchange Server is not a simple task. The reason for this is because a copy of that email is sitting first in the OST database (yes, OST files are databases) and in the Exchange Database. So, what I would do is this. First, delete the email. This will put the email into your delete items folder. Now go into the deleted items folder and delete it there as well. Now you need to delete it from the DUMPSTER on the Exchange folder. Do this by clicking on the Delete Items folder in Outlook again and Click Tools - Recover Deleted Items." }, { "docid": "D3408735#0", "title": "http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_365hp-outlook/sync-outlook-365-email-contacts-calendar-and-notes/16527f51-b9eb-4838-a279-665d129f33bd\nQ: Sync Outlook 365 (email, contacts, calendar and notes) with android phone", "text": "\"RB rbuege asked on August 12, 2013Q: Sync Outlook 365 (email, contacts, calendar and notes) with android phone I have a home subscription to Office 365 that I use on my Windows 7 laptop and a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.1).

All sync settings need to be adjusted using the software which acts as an interface to connect the handheld device with Outlook. Did you install the sync software?

Instead, the performance impact occurs during the ongoing, everyday I/O to the .ost file when Outlook is running.

In the modern industrial system, however, the market is not a place; it has expanded to include the whole geographical area in which sellers compete with each other for customers. Alfred Marshall, whose Principles of Economics (first published in 1890) was for long an authority for English-speaking economists, based his definition of the market on that of the French economist A. Cournot: Economists understand by the term Market, not any particular market place in which things are bought and sold, but the whole of any region in which buyers and sellers are in such free intercourse with one another that the prices of the same goods tend to equality easily and quickly. To this Marshall added: The more nearly perfect a market is, the stronger is the tendency for the same price to be paid for the same thing at the same time in all parts of the market. The concept of the market as defined above has to do primarily with more or less standardized commodities, for example, wool or automobiles. The word market is also used in contexts such as the market for real estate or for old masters; and there is the “labour market,” although a contract to work for a certain wage differs from a sale of goods. There is a connecting idea in all of these various usages—namely, the interplay of supply and demand. Most markets consist of groups of intermediaries between the first seller of a commodity and the final buyer. There are all kinds of intermediaries, from the brokers in the great produce exchanges down to the village grocer." }, { "docid": "D2339277#0", "title": "http://www.wikinvest.com/wiki/Futures_specify\n.", "text": "\"This article is part of Wiki Project Definitions.

Futures contracts detail the quality and quantity of the underlying asset; they are standardized to facilitate trading on a futures exchange. Some futures contracts may call for physical delivery of the asset, while others are settled in cash. The futures markets are characterized by the ability to use very high leverage relative to stock markets. Futures contracts do not refer to future values .

Answer: Commodities are objects that come out of the Earth such as wheat, cattle, soybeans, corn, oranges, gold, uranium, copper, aluminum, coal, cotton, and oil. Commodities of the same grade are consider fungible - that is, interchangeable with other commodities of the same grade regardless of who produced or farmed it. For example, if a mining company in Colorado produces high quality copper, and a different mining company in Wyoming also produces high, the copper produced by both mining companies is fungible as long as it receives the same grade.

Purpose of Futures Markets Futures markets are price discovery and risk management institutions. In futures markets, the competing expectations of traders interact to \"\"discover\"\" prices. In so doing, they reflect a broad range of information that exists on upcoming market conditions. Futures markets are actually designed as vehicles for establishing future prices and managing risk so you can avoid gambling if you want. For example, a wheat producer who plants a crop is, in effect, betting that the price of wheat won't drop so low that he would have been better not to have planted the crop at all. This bet is inherent to the farming business, but the farmer may prefer not to make it. The farmer can hedge this bet by selling a wheat futures contract.

Definition of Commodity Money Money is a type of asset in an economy that is used to buy goods and services from other people. A commodity is a physical item that is readily interchangeable with another item of the same type. Commodity money is a commodity that has intrinsic value. Intrinsic value means that the commodity has value even if it is not used as money. In times of economic turmoil, such as severe economic depressions or hyperinflation, people sometimes turn to commodity money instead of the money authorized by their governments.

ADVERTISEMENTS: Broadly, money can be classified as: (i) Full Bodied money; (ii) Representative Full bodied money; and (iii) Credit money. ( i) Full bodied Money: ADVERTISEMENTS: Any unit of money, whose face value and intrinsic value are equal, is known as full bodied money, i.e. Money Value = Commodity Value. For example, during the British period, one rupee coin was made of silver and its value as money was same as its value as a commodity. ( ii) Representative Full-bodied Money: It refers to money which is usually made of paper. The value of representative full-bodied money is much higher than its value as a commodity. It is accepted as money as it can be conveniently used for carrying out transactions. Such a type of paper money is 100% backed by metallic reserve of gold or silver and is redeemable at the option of the holder.

The asset transacted is usually a commodity or financial instrument. The predetermined price the parties agree to buy and sell the asset for is known as the forward price. The specified time in the future—which is when delivery and payment occur—is known as the delivery date. Because it is a function of an underlying asset, a futures contract is a derivative product. Contracts are negotiated at futures exchanges, which act as a marketplace between buyers and sellers. The buyer of a contract is said to be long position holder, and the selling party is said to be short position holder. [ 1] As both parties risk their counter-party walking away if the price goes against them, the contract may involve both parties lodging a margin of the value of the contract with a mutually trusted third party.

Next Up Marginal Rate Of Transformation Production Efficiency Economic Efficiency Efficiency BREAKING DOWN 'Production Possibility Frontier - PPF'The PPF indicates the production possibilities of two commodities when resources are fixed. This means that the production of one commodity can only increase when the production of the other commodity is reduced, due to the availability of resources. Therefore, the PPF measures the efficiency in which two commodities can be produced together, helping managers and leaders decide what mix of commodities are most beneficial. The PPF assumes that technology is constant, resources are used efficiently, and that there is normally only a choice between two commodities. Understanding and Interpreting the PPFThe PPF drives home the idea that opportunity costs normally come up when an economic organization with limited resources must decide between two alternatives.

Ikerd * University of Missouri The term sustainable agriculture has been defined in many ways (Allen, et al., Lockeretz, Smit and Smithers). However, most definitions seem to agree in defining sustainability as a characteristic of performance of agricultural systems as a whole rather than attempting to define sustainable agricultural practices, methods, or enterprises. In general, it can be argued, a sustainable agriculture must be ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially responsible (Ikerd, 1994). Past emphasis on the economic dimension of sustainable agriculture has focused on reducing costs by reducing purchased inputs. Economic comparisons of conventional and sustainable farming systems, for example, have assumed that farmers will continue to produce the same basic commodities for sale in highly competitive national and international agricultural markets. Yields and costs per unit of production are compared for conventional and alternative systems (Ikerd, Monson and Van Dyne, 1992; Repetto and Faeth, 1990; Pimentel, et. al., 1991).

Commonly traded commodities include gold, beef, oil, lumber and natural gas. Additional examples of commodities include iron ore, crude oil, salt, sugar, tea, coffee beans, copper, rice, wheat, silver, and platinum. Commodities are basic because they have simply been grown or extracted from their natural state and brought up to a minimum grade for sale in a marketplace - there is no extra value added to them by the producer. Although the quality may differ slightly between producers, commodities by definition are very similar no matter who produces them. All commodities of the same grade are priced equally, and are interchangeable. The most widely traded commodities have well established markets. Investors buy and sell commodities through futures contracts on exchanges. The exchanges standardize the quantity and minimum quality of the commodity.

D. Reviewed by RN Jeannie Randall Source Clonazepam (Klonipin®) is one of the most abused drugs because it's readily available and has the potential to give users a high. The drug is prescribed only to be taken only by mouth, so if you snort it to try to enhance its effects, this is by definition a form of drug abuse. Snorting oral clonazepam can lead to nasal problems and serious consequences of drug abuse, including addiction, overdose and death, especially when abused with other prescription or illicit drugs. Clonazepam Snorting and Addiction Clonazepam is relatively safe when taken as prescribed to treat problems such as anxiety and panic disorders, epilepsy, and insomnia, as reviewed by a 2000 American Family Physician (AFP) article, but not when the drug is snorted. According to a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) fact sheet, crushing and snorting oral clonazepam is the most common way users abuse the benzodiazepine (benzo). Why Snorting People who snort clonazepam hope to get a faster absorption and a quicker and greater high or sedation by this route. Note the following facts: Some people turn to snorting when they develop tolerance to the oral drug and want to try to get a higher effective hit. In general, snorted drugs go straight into the blood and therefore get to your brain more quickly than by mouth but there is no direct evidence this is true for clonazepam or other benzos. There are no studies that directly compare blood absorption of snorted versus oral clonazepam or whether snorted clonazepam, or other abused benzos such as alprasolam (Xanax), get to the brain faster than when taken by mouth. A 1995 study in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology did show a quicker peak blood concentration of the drug by nasal route compared to when given between gum and cheek (buccal route)." }, { "docid": "D749579#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_long_does_it_take_to_get_clonazepam_out_of_your_system\nHow long does clonazepam stay in your system?", "text": "Isadora Duncan 220,164 Contributions How long does clonazepam stay in your system?

It is approved for the treatment of panic disorder (with or without agoraphobia), as well as certain types of seizure disorders. However, benzodiazepines are also commonly used to treat difficulty sleeping and alcohol withdrawal. Panic Disorder occurs when a person experiences unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear.

Convulsions produced in rodents by pentylenetetrazol or, to a lesser extent, electrical stimulation are antagonized, as are convulsions produced by photic stimulation in susceptible baboons. A taming effect in aggressive primates, muscle weakness and hypnosis are also produced. In humans, Clonazepam is capable of suppressing the spike and wave discharge in absence seizures (petit mal) and decreasing the frequency, amplitude, duration and spread of discharge in minor motor seizures. Pharmacokinetics: Clonazepam is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration.

Many of the most famous historic buildings and monuments in Britain (Stonehenge, for example) are under the care of English Heritage. Many of the sites the EH manages are ruins (castles, stone circles, and medieval monasteriies, for example), though a few properties are stately homes such as Audley End House in Essex. One of the best things that EH gets up to is hosting special events at many of the properties they administer. A glance at their latest \"\"Events\"\" brochure reveals over 600 events ranging from historical re-enactments of jousting to \"\"Life in the Age of Chivalry\"\" and exhibitions of medieval calligraphy. For those of you living outside the UK, you should be able to get a current copy of the events brochure from any regional British Tourist Authority office, or request a copy through your your local travel agent. Membership If you enjoy exploring the history and heritage of England, a membership can pay for itself many times over. Membership entitles you to free entry to all English Heritage properties throughout England, and includes quarterly colur magazine and member-only offers and travel discounts as well as information on special events and family activities. The Britain Express family have been English Heritage members for over a decade, and over that time we've visted roughly 90% of English Heritage properties throughout the country. I think we've had pretty good value from our annual memberships!" }, { "docid": "D248408#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_telephone_number\nFictitious telephone number", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Ranges for fictitious telephone numbers are common in most telephone numbering plans. One of the main reasons these ranges exist is to avoid accidentally using real phone numbers in movies and television programs because viewers frequently call the numbers used. In North America, the area served by the North American Numbering Plan (NANPA) system of area codes, fictitious telephone numbers are usually of the form (XXX) 555-xxxx. The use of 555 numbers in fiction, however, led a desire to assign some of them in the real world, and some of them are no longer available for use in fiction. Other areas have different fictitious telephone numbers. To be effective, it must not be possible to change a fictitious telephone number into a real one by adding or changing a few digits. Usually, the number must be unassigned in every area code within the numbering plan. Outside NANPA, special fictitious telephone numbers for mobile phones, premium-rate numbers or toll free numbers are sometimes assigned as well.

The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. To change 4 to 12, you have to multiply it by 3. So if you multiply 3/4 by 3/3 you get 9/12. Now you do the same for 1/3. To get 12 you have to multiply it by 4/4 (4 times 3 = 12) 1/3 times 4/4 = 4/12.

This is also called being \"\"top-heavy.\"\" An improper fraction is most often turned into a mixed number with a remainder, but some fractions can be turned into whole numbers. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction; for instance, 1 1/3 is a mixed number. In this case, the fraction 1/3 is classified as the \"\"remainder.\"\" On the other hand, a whole number is a number like 2, 3, and 4. Converting Improper Fractions to Whole Numbers Look at the top number of the fraction and make sure that it is equal to or greater than the bottom number of your fraction. If the numbers are the same, you can convert your improper fraction into a whole number of 1. If the top number is bigger than the bottom number, see if the bottom number can go into the top number without creating a remainder. For example, if the improper fraction is 24/12, 12 goes into 24 two times exactly, without any remainder, creating a whole number of 2." }, { "docid": "D1500249#0", "title": "http://www.themathpage.com/Arith/multiply-fractions-divide-fractions.htm\nHOW TO MULTIPLY FRACTIONS HOW TO DIVIDE FRACTIONS", "text": "\"S k i l l i n A R I T H M E T I CTable of Contents | Home | Introduction Lesson 26HOW TO MULTIPLY FRACTIONS HOW TO DIVIDE FRACTIONSIn this Lesson, we will answer the following: How do we multiply a fraction by a whole number?

Mixed number to decimal calculator finds the decimal equivalent by converting a mixed number, fraction, integer or whole number to a decimal. How to Convert a Mixed Number to a Decimal Follow these 2 steps to convert a mixed number to a decimal: Convert the fraction to a decimal: Divide the numerator by the denominator Add this decimal number to the whole number part of the mixed number A mixed number is a whole number plus a fraction. To find the decimal form of a fraction just divide the numerator by the denominator using a calculator or long division. Then add the decimal number to the whole number. Example: Convert the mixed number 7 1/4 to a decimal Convert the fraction to a decimal: Divide 1 by 4 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25Add 0.25 to the whole number 7: 7 + 0.25 = 7.25Note that this solution works even if the fraction part of the mixed number is an improper fraction. Example: Convert the mixed number 3 9/5 to a decimal Convert the fraction to a decimal: Divide 9 by 5 9 ÷ 5 = 1.8Add 1.8 to the whole number 3: 3 + 1.8 = 4.8Secondary Method: Convert a Mixed Number to a Decimal by Fraction Addition Alternatively you can convert a mixed number to a decimal by first converting the mixed number to two fractions, adding them and simplifying to a decimal. Example: Convert the mixed number 5 2/3 to a decimal5 2/3 = 5/1 + 2/35 2/3 = (5/1 * 3/3) + 2/35 2/3 = 15/3 + 2/35 2/3 = 17/35 2/3 = 5.667A mixed number such as 7 1/4 can be converted to a decimal. It is implied that 7 1/4 is really 7 + 1/4 and that 7 = 7/1, therefore we are first adding the fraction 7/1 + 1/4.

First, convert the mixed fraction (1 38) to an an improper fraction ( 118 ): Cut the whole pizza into eighths and how many eighths do you have in total?1 lot of 8, plus the 3 eighths = 8+3 = 11 eighths. Now multiply that by 3:1 38 × 3 = 118 × 31 = 338You have 33 eighths. And, lastly, convert to a mixed fraction (only because the original fraction was in that form):33 eighths is 4 whole pizzas (4×8=32) and 1 eighth left over. And this is what it looks like in one line:1 38 × 3 = 118 × 31 = 338 = 4 18Another Example: What is 1 12 × 2 15 ?

I was fairly confident based on the work we have done over the last few weeks that the students would easily manage this concept, and my students did not disappoint me. We reviewed the idea of “unit fraction” and used the fraction bars in Kidspiration to model different ways to build fractions. We talked about how you can build or “compose” new fractions with unit fractions (which I also call counting fractions…just like we count WHOLE numbers, we can count FRACTIONS too!). We then tied the fraction bars to a more traditional adding and subtracting notation—we modeled by counting unit fraction groups to add and by crossing out fractions to subtract. Students seemed to be really understanding, so I felt ready to send them off to do our math rotations. Here is our rotation board: (I’ve flipped the top cards backward to hide the names). Today’s groups were picked based on needs—I knew that I wanted to differentiate the “teacher time” rotation.

To write an improper fraction as a whole number means to write the improper fraction as a mixed number, which is a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction, such as 1 2/3. It's not hard to learn how to convert an improper fraction into a mixed number. Find the whole number. Divide the top number by the bottom number, but use long division only, not a calculator, because calculators give decimals and you need a remainder (which can be found through long division). If you don't know how to do long division, ask yourself the question, \"\"how many times does the bottom number fit into the top number, without going over?\"\" If your improper fraction is 3/2, 2 goes into 3 once without going over, because 2 X 1 = 2 but 2 X 2 = 4. So for 3/2, the whole number is 1. Find the remainder.

Cashews cost 2 dollars per pound and almonds cost 5 dollars per pound. He plans to sell 150 pounds of a mixture. How many pounds of each type of nuts should be mixed if the mixture will cost 3 dollars? Solution #1: Use of one variable leading to a linear equation Let x be the number of pounds of cashews So, 150 - x will represent the number of almonds Since each pound of the mixture cost 3 dollars, 150 pounds will cost 3 × 150 = 450 dollars Cost of cashews + cost of almonds = 450 2 × x + (150 - x) × 5 = 450 2x + 150 × 5 - x × 5 = 450 2x + 750 - 5x = 450 2x - 5x + 750 = 450 -3x + 750 = 450 -3x + 750 - 750 = 450 - 750 -3x = -300 -3x/-3 = -300/-3 x = 100 150 - x = 150 - 100 = 50. The store owner should mix 100 pounds of cashews with 50 pounds of almonds Solution #2: Use of two variables leading to a system of linear equations Let x represent the number of pounds of cashews Let y be the number of pounds of almonds x + y = 150 2x + 5y = 450 Solve by elimination Multiply x + y = 150 by -2 -2 (x + y) = 150 × -2 -2x + -2y = -300 Put the two equations together again. -2x + -2y = -300 2x + 5y = 450 Add the left sides and the right sides to get: 3y = 150 3y/3 = 150/3 y = 50 Example 2 and 3 are more challenging mixture word problems Example #2: Suppose a car can run on ethanol and gas and you have a 15 gallons tank to fill.

Please help!!! ! Follow 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Oh dear. This is a truly pointless exercise, and bad teaching when there are so many other things of more importance that could be addressed than these archaic and non-standard units. The only one which is used in scientific terminology is the kilometer, although centimeters are used colloquially and quite acceptable, but the others should have fallen out of use decades ago (indeed, have done so) so exercises of this type are just a waste of time in my opinion. Basically, deca- means ten of something, and deci- means one-tenth, so 1 meter = 10 decimeters, therefore 10 decameters = 10 x (10 decimeters) = 100 decimeters. Centi- means one-hundredth, so 1metre = 100 centimeters, therefore 1 decameter = 10 x (100 centimeters) = 1000 centimeters. Hecto- means one hundred, therefore 1 hectometer = 100 meters = 10 decameters. Kilo- means one thousand, of course, so 1 kilometer = 1000 meters, and since 1 hectometer = 100 meters, 1 kilometer = 10 hectometers. The only ones your daughter needs to bother about are millimeter, centimeter, and kilometer, and she should learn to manipulate these confidently." }, { "docid": "D1701927#0", "title": "http://ethw.org/Millimeter_Waves\nMillimeter Waves", "text": "\"The millimeter-wave region of the electromagnetic spectrum is usually considered to be the range of wavelengths from 10 millimeters (0.4 inches) to 1 millimeter (0.04 inches). This means millimeter waves are longer than infrared waves or x-rays, for example, but shorter than radio waves or microwaves. The millimeter-wave region of the electromagnetic spectrum corresponds to radio band frequencies of 30 GHz to 300 GHz and is sometimes called the Extremely High Frequency (EHF) range. The high frequency of millimeters waves as well as their propagation characteristics (that is, the ways they change or interact with the atmosphere as they travel) make them useful for a variety of applications including transmitting large amounts of computer data, cellular communications, and radar. One of the greatest and most important uses of millimeter waves is in transmitting large amounts of data. Every kind of wireless communication, such as the radio, cell phone, or satellite, uses specific range of wavelengths or frequencies. Each application provider (such as a local television or radio broadcaster) has a unique “channel” assignment, so that they can all communicate at the same time without interfering with each other. These channels have “bandwidths” (also measured in either wavelength or frequency) that must be large enough to pass the information from the broadcaster’s transmitter to the user. For example, a telephone conversation requires only about 6 k Hz of bandwidth, while a TV broadcast, which carries much larger amounts of information, requires about 6 MHz.

Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain. How do raindrops form? The clouds floating overhead contain water vapor and cloud droplets, which are small drops of condensed water. These droplets are way too small to fall as precipitation, but they are large enough to form visible clouds. Water is continually evaporating and condensing in the sky. If you look closely at a cloud you can see some parts disappearing (evaporating) while other parts are growing (condensation). Most of the condensed water in clouds does not fall as precipitation because their fall speed is not large enough to overcome updrafts which support the clouds." }, { "docid": "D3094064#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/4mm_equals_how_many_inches\nHow many inches in 4mm?", "text": "\"Aygabtu How many inches in 4mm?0.157480315 in Direct Conversion Formula . 4 mm . . 1 in 25.4 mm . = . 0.157480315 in.

This is easily calculated provided that you have the local price of the fuel to be used. 1 cubic foot of natural gas will produce *1000BTU per hour, 1 litre of propane will produce *29,059 BTU per hour and 1 US Gallon will produce *110,000 BTU per hour. (* values may vary slightly, depending on location) The BTU of the fireplace is divided by the BTU value of the fuel to determine the amount of fuel consumed per hour. Example: A natural gas fireplace that has an input of 30,000 BTU per hour consumes 30,000 / 1000 = 30 cubic feet/hour. If the price of natural gas is .35 cents ($0.0035) per cubic foot then 30 cubic feet x .35 = 10.5 cents ($0.105). Therefore the cost of operating one of our 30,000 BTU Natural Gas Fireplaces such as the new GDS28 Gas Stove for one hour is 10.5 cents.

That is how the Gas companies measure the amount of gas produced, used, moved...etc. Since a therm is a measurement of energy we can approximate the usage like this: The energy contained in a a cubic foot of gas varies. Therefore an exact Therm usage value will be hard to come by. ( It would be easier if there was a measurement of BTU or therm content posted. The Natural Gas companies know this value when gas is acquired from the well, but they are more interested in how much they are moving.)

There are too many variables to consider a particular household to be \"\"average\"\". Fuel consumption will vary by home size, insulation, location, and usage habits. However, typical homes require 50 million to 150 million BTU per year for heat, so assuming 100 million BTU to be about average: Assume 0.82 million btu (net heating value*) per 1000 cubic feet of natural gas. 1000 cubic feet of gas / .82 net heating value ~=1,219.51 1,220 cubic feet of gas will be required to generate 1 million btu of heat, so you'll need about 1,220 ft^3 * 100 for the year, or 122,000 cubic feet of gas. At $7 per 1000 cubic feet, that's 122 * $7 = $854 for the year At $9 per 1000 cubic feet, that's 122 * $9 = $1.098 for the year.

Gen. Stat. Section 12-455a (b) as meaning \"\" (1) fuels as defined in section 14-1 and (2) any other combustible gas or liquid suitable for the generation of power to propel motor vehicles.\"\" This definition includes natural gas and propane, as well as other fuels in gaseous form. Until Policy Statement 92 (10) was issued, the Department had not provided information concerning the computation of tax on motor vehicle fuels occurring in gaseous form. Policy Statement 92 (10) provided factors for determining the quantity of natural gas in gaseous form that is equivalent to one gallon of gasoline. Those conversion factors were arrived at by comparing the number of BTUs (British Thermal Units) produced by the combustion of a gallon of gasoline with the number of BTUs produced by the combustion of 100 cubic feet of natural gas. That is, PS 92 (10) called for gasoline and motor vehicle fuels occurring in gaseous form to be reduced to a common unit of measurement (BTUs). Therefore, implicit in PS 92 (10) was a policy of taxing motor vehicle fuels not on a per-gallon basis, but according to their BTU production. The Department has now determined that the policy implied in PS 92 (10) is flawed.

A cubic foot of natural gas is the amount of natural gas that can be contained in a cube one foot on a side, at a certain standard temperature and pressure. But gas is not actually produced at a “standard” temperature and pressure. Temperature and pressure affect the amount of gas that can be contained in a one-foot cube. The higher the pressure, the more gas can be contained within the cubic foot of space. Conversely, the higher the temperature, the less gas can be contained in a cubic foot of space. So, when gas is measured, its pressure and temperature must also be measured. Its actual volume, at its actual temperature and pressure, can then be corrected to show what volume the same gas would have at a standard temperature and pressure." }, { "docid": "D2035021#0", "title": "http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/blogs/dept/musings/understanding-energy-units\nUnderstanding Energy Units", "text": "0 Helpful?

The first commercial gas ranges were sold way back in 1836, as an alternative to coal and wood stoves (of course, electricity wasn’t a factor in the mid-19th century). But it took quite a while for gas ranges to “catch fire” with consumers, as a network of gas pipes was slowly constructed over the next 100-150 years. Today, nearly half of Americans choose gas ranges over electric stoves, and many who buy an electric range have no real choice (unless they purchase a propane gas stove) because they live in rural areas without residential natural gas lines. Electric and gas ranges, obviously, perform the same basic function: cooking food. They function quite differently, however. Electric models slowly heat cooking elements which then transfer the heat to pots and pans (or heat up the inside of an oven); on a gas stove, the burners are ignited immediately and the resulting flames are directly responsible for heating up pots (or an oven’s interior). The features of gas stoves vary considerably, and it’s important to choose a model which best meets your needs. We’re here to help by taking a look at the benefits of using gas for cooking, the important considerations and decisions which factor into a purchase so you can easily pick the best gas range.

A: Quick Answer Propane and natural gas burn at nearly equal flame temperatures (3,560 degrees Fahrenheit). However, propane yields more energy per unit volume than natural gas does. For many years it was a commonly held belief that propane burned hotter than natural gas, but that was due to a miscalculation in the volume needed to create equal yields.

Credit: Lluis Real age fotostock Getty Images Full Answer In order to create the same yield in heat, the volume of natural gas used must be about 2.5 times that of propane. Burning one cubic foot, natural gas will yield about 1,012 BTU's of heat, while propane yields 2,520 BTU's of heat in that same cubic foot.

But, if we assume we are talking about a volume of water, the conversion is easy once we decide on the definition of a pint. See, for example, Pint (Wikipedia)Let’s use the “liquid pint” definition of 1 pint = 473 milli-liters (rounding off to the nearest whole number here), or 0.473 liters. Since a liter is by definition 1000 cubic cm, 1 pint = 473 cubic cm. Water has a density of 1 gram per cubic cm, so 1 pint of water is 473 grams.

Quinoa is a great food, not just for vegetarians and vegans, but for anyone looking to lower their cholesterol or add healthy whole grains and extra fiber to their diet. Do be aware, however, that there are several different kinds of quinoa, so their nutrient content will vary slightly. Calories in Quinoa Quinoa is relatively low in calories. One cup of cooked quinoa (185 g) provides 222 calories. But, of course, watch what you add to the quinoa, as it's in the cooking process that most of the calories and fat will be added, depending on how you prepare it. Fat in Quinoa Quinoa is naturally low in fat but, as a seed, it does have a small amount. One cup of cooked quinoa provides 3.4 grams of fat.

It’s easy to get enough protein without eating animals, but the doubters often have another concern: Are these meat-free protein sources complete? The term \"\"complete protein\"\" refers to amino acids, the building blocks of protein. There are 20 different amino acids that can form a protein, and nine that the body can’t produce on its own. These are called essential amino acids —we need to eat them because we can’t make them ourselves. In order to be considered “complete,” a protein must contain all nine of these essential amino acids in roughly equal amounts. Yes, meat and eggs are complete proteins, and beans and nuts aren’t. But humans don’t need every essential amino acid in every bite of food in every meal they eat; we only need a sufficient amount of each amino acid every day. Most dietitians believe that plant-based diets contain such a wide variety of amino acid profiles that vegans are virtually guaranteed to get all of their amino acids with very little effort.

A diet lacking in iron can result in low energy levels, shortness of breath, headaches, irritability, dizziness or anemia. Iron can be found in two forms in foods — heme and non-heme. Heme iron is only found in animal products, whereas non-heme iron is only found in plants ( 2 ). The recommended daily intake (RDI) is based on an average intake of 18 mg per day. However, individual requirements vary based on a person's gender and life stage. For instance, men and post-menopausal women generally require around 8 mg of iron per day. This amount increases to 18 mg per day for menstruating women and to 27 mg per day for pregnant women. And, since non-heme iron tends to be less easily absorbed by our bodies than heme iron, the RDI for vegetarians and vegans is 1.8 times higher than for meat eaters.

Don't worry, I was where you are right now about 2 years ago when I discovered this tiny seed, pronounced keen-wa. But, now that I have, dinners have never been the same. In our house we eat a primarily vegetarian diet - and largely Indian food. But, because life is fast-paced no matter how you try to slow it down, we've been looking for shortcuts to dinner. A complete and traditional Indian meal always includes a bowl of beans or lentils with curried vegetables and rice or bread. But these days, it's hard to get even all of these components to the table. And ,when I don't have time to make the legumes, I often worry that we are not including enough protein in our meals.

His father, Willie Adams, and mother, Debbie Ezell, first observed his extreme height condition when he was two months old. [ 1] The condition is caused by an inversion in the 12th chromosome. [ 2]His activities include joining a middle school football team. [ 3] In 2008, there was an attempt to halt Brenden's growth when he was 7 ft 4.5 in (2.248 m) tall. [ 1]Adams' growth curve almost mimics that of Robert Wadlow (the tallest man in recorded history). Some doctors [ who?] estimate he would have been over 8 feet (2.4 m) tall if he had kept growing constantly.

Secretly indulges in throwbacks way earlier than Thursdays. If you know that 1 foot is equal to 30.5 cm, then you can divide 164 by 30.5. Any whole number you get from that equation will give you how many feet you have: 5. If you backtrack and realize that 5 feet is equal to approximately 152 cm, then you know you only have 12 more cm to account for. If you know that 1 inch is equal to 2.5 cm, you know that you'll get 4.8 inches. So, 164 cm converts to 5 feet and approximately 5 inches.18 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Timm Superintendent and Extension Wildlife Specialist Hopland Research and Extension Center University of California Hopland, California 95449Importance of Rodent-Proof Construction Rats and mice cause serious damage to all kinds of structures if they are allowed access to them. Damage by rodents has been documented in homes, apartments, hotels, office complexes, retail businesses, manufacturing facilities, food processing and warehouse facilities, public utility operations (especially power and electronic media operations), farm and feed storage buildings, and other structures. In urban settings, rodents most often cause damage to older, inner-city buildings and utilities in poor repair. New housing developments may experience commensal rodent problems, but problems are more noticeable in neighborhoods 10 to 12 years of age or older. Ornamental plantings, accumulation of refuse, woodpiles, and other such sources of harborage and food are more quickly invaded and occupied by rodents when adjacent to an established rodent habitat. Many types of land, air, and water transportation systems and their infrastructure also face serious rodent infestation problems. Infestations are of particular concern in the transportation of foodstuffs, feed, and other agricultural products. Commensal rodents consume and contaminate human and livestock feed. One rat can eat about 1/2 pound (227 g) of feed per week, and will contaminate and waste perhaps 10 times that amount.

These results are assumed to be using the counter-movement technique, in which the arms are used to help propel the body upwards, though in many cases it may not be the case.

I’ll go through this example step by step and attempt to discuss the kinds of things one needs to think about when considering this type of problem. A more detailed discussion can be found in my response to the question: “How are conversion factors used?”The first question to ask is: Is the conversion I’m trying to do between two different units for the same type of quantity? The liter is a unit of volume in SI. The quart is a unit of volume in what I will call the English system. But, as is often the case in the English system, there are several different units of volume called quarts. Most of them are similar, but not exactly the same.

These measuring units have their own importance because we usually use them when it comes to baking and cooking. There are ingredients that are used in slight quantities which may be solid or liquid. These quantities are measured in units like grams, kilograms, liters, ounces and so on but here we will talk about an ounce. So in order to measure such slight quantities, we should learn some basic calculations. The measured quantity in any recipe is very important because if you make a slight mistake in measurement then the entire recipe is ruined. These are the quantities which we take help from at the time of cooking and baking. So if you want that your cup cakes are as delicious as a professional baker then you must clearly understand these conversions.…The women who are at home cook or bake with the same quantity but the chefs at restaurants focus on precision and accuracy of the quantity. It is thought that the women found ounce as one of the most confusing units of measurements that is why they are often found using spoons whenever there are ounces used. But you have to be careful to measure such slight quantities using appropriate measuring tools in order to have perfect results." }, { "docid": "D1678917#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/food/one-gallon-equals-many-cups-1780c107e9a62920\nOne Gallon Equals How Many Cups?", "text": "Food Food Measurements Q: One Gallon Equals How Many Cups?

The most common bottle sizes were:1 pint = 2 cups = 16 fluid ounces1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups = 32 fluid ounces1/2 gallon = 2 quarts = 8 cups = 64 fluid ounces Then the whole world (except the US) went metric, and the standard sizes in the metric system were adopted by bottle making, water, and soda companies.

Also known as the cardiovascular system, this network carries oxygen and nutrients to the body. It also transports waste products to the kidneys, liver and lungs for elimination. Cells, hormones and other important chemicals are delivered from one location to another via the circulatory system. Heart and other circulatory problems are major causes of disability and death. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

From there, it enter the right atrium. Between the right atrium and the right ventricle there is a special valve which senses if there is blood in the ventricle. When the right ventricle is full, the special valve closes down so that the oxygen poor blood does not enter back into the atrium again when the heart is squeezing. From there the blood enters the pulmonary artery and end up in the lungs. After it gets oxygen rich, the blood is sent back to the heart through the pulmonary veins. The blood is dumped into the left atrium and there is another special valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle. The valve closes down so that the blood doesn't go back to the atrium when it squeezes. The blood is transported to the aorta after it leaves the ventricle." }, { "docid": "D243071#0", "title": "http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/111342.aspx\n.", "text": "The Importance of Homeostasis in the Human Body: Keeping Us Alivewritten by: Nick Oza•edited by: Diana Cooper•updated: 10/8/2014Homeostasis is maintained within the body by a complex series of organs and organ systems. Learn more about how they work together to keep our body functioning properly. When equilibrium within the body is maintained, homeostasis is said to occur. The human body maintains a steady internal environment for the proper functioning of the body. Maintaining a constant internal environment requires the body to make many adjustments. Adjustments within the body are referred to as regulation of homeostasis. Homeostatic regulation is comprised of three parts: a receptor, a control center and an effector. The receptor functions by receiving information about any changes that are occurring in the environment while the control center processes that information and the effector executes the commands of the control center by making changes in response. All the organ systems of the body work together to maintain homeostasis within the body. Before we look at the various organ systems involved and how they work together to maintain a normal internal environment, we will look at the different aspects of the human body and how does the human body maintain homeostasis." }, { "docid": "D2375106#0", "title": "https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Structural_Biochemistry/Cell_Signaling_Pathways/Circulatory_System\nStructural Biochemistry/Cell Signaling Pathways/Circulatory System", "text": "\"Structural Biochemistry/Cell Signaling Pathways/Circulatory System< Structural Biochemistry | Cell Signaling Pathwaysnavigation search Contents1 Circulatory System1.1 Blood Vessels1.2 Chambers2 Single Circulation3 Double Circulation3.1 Pulmonary Circulation3.2 Systemic Circulation3.3 Coronary Circulation4 Body Fluids4.1 Blood5 Mammalian Heart5.1 Cardiac Cycle5.2 Maintaining heart beat6 Electrocardiogram6.1 Pacemaker cells6.2 Control of the Heart Rhythm6.3 Patterns of Blood Pressure6.4 Capillary Function7 Cardiovascular Disease7.1 Congestive Heart Failure7.2 Atherosclerosis7.3 Heart Attack7.4 Stroke8 Angina9 Coronary Bypass Surgery10 References Circulatory System [ edit]The human circulatory system. The Circulatory System is an organ system that transfers the body's essentials such as blood cells, nutrients, gases, and etc. to and from the cells in order to maintain homeostasis. Under the circulatory system, there are two systems: cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels, while the lymphatic system is composed of the lymph, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels. Not all organisms require a circulatory system. Its primary purpose is to distribute nutrients and essential elements like oxygen throughout the cell. Smaller organisms, or those with a high surface area relative to their volume, do not need a circulatory system because transfer can take place directly across their cellular membranes. Flatworms are an example of this; due to their size and shape, cells can obtain nutrients and remove waste without the need for an extensive circulatory system because diffusion is sufficient. Human beings, however, require a circulatory system due to their size; for example, oxygen would not be able to effectively diffuse into organ cells without a circulatory system because oxygen would have to go through our skin and into organ cells for them to receive oxygen." }, { "docid": "D1382664#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/25886723/heart-attack-flash-cards/\nheart attack", "text": "39 terms courtneysternheart attack Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Flag What body system does hemophilia affect? Answer by D4est Confidence votes 48.0KHemophilia is a genetic problem with the clotting factors missing in the blood which are needed to clot blood and prevent uncontrolled bleeding from even minor cuts. So it is the circulatory system that is primarily affected. Although other body systems can also be affected such as the musculoskeletal system (achy red and swollen joints, etc. ), digestive system (problems with bleeding gums that can affect dental hygiene), bleeding of internal organs, etc. The liver is responsible for making the clotting factor proteins. A lack of one or more of these proteins (depending on which protein is missing) can cause hemophilia. In this way, hemophilia does slightly effect the liver, but the remaining functions of the liver are intact. Indirectly, hemophilia can have an effect on any organ if the individual has a bleeding episode in or around it.7 people found this useful Was this answer useful?" }, { "docid": "D2830013#0", "title": "http://www.studymode.com/subjects/interrelationship-between-the-integumentary-system-and-other-body-systems-page1.html\n\"\"\"Interrelationship Between The Integumentary System And Other Body Systems\"\" Essays and Research Papers\"", "text": "\"\"\"Interrelationship Between The Integumentary System And Other Body Systems\"\" Essays and Research Papers Interrelationship Between The Integumentary System And Other Body Systems Integumentary System Laszlo Vass, Ed.

Sayeed, MDCardiology (Cardiovascular Disease)Coronary artery disease is one of the most common diseases worldwide and is an epidemic with the frequency increasing worldwide, likely due to high fat, fast food diets, increasing obesity and smoking. The current prevalence in the US is about 7% of the US population or over 16 million people. Dole Nutrition Institute Administration More than 80 million adults in the United States are afflicted by heart disease, the country’s leading cause of death. It takes more than 800,000 lives each year. Just under 500,000 of those fatalities result from a heart attack; nearly 150,000 from a stroke; and the remainder are from cardiac arrhythmia, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, congenital defects and other heart disorders. A tragic aspect of these figures is that 80 percent of heart disease cases are preventable. Smoking, for instance, is a major contributor, raising blood pressure, generating free-radical damage and aggravating other risk factors, such as diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. Smoking more than doubles the risk for sudden cardiac death; and yet just one year after someone quits, their risk of having a heart attack is cut in half. Obesity, poor nutrition and chronic stress are other high-risk factors that could be mitigated by diet and exercise. Even for those who are born with heart disease (congenital heart disease) or are genetically predisposed to it, lifestyle choices can make the difference between keeping the condition manageable and letting it become debilitating." }, { "docid": "D751055#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart\nHeart", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the internal organ.

Metastasis is the process by which cancer cells migrate throughout the body. In order for cells to move through the body, they must first climb over/around neighboring cells. They do this by rearranging their cytoskeleton and attaching to the other cells and the extracellular matrix via proteins on the outside of their plasma membranes.

Note that the thymus is no longer considered part of the endocrine system, as it does not produce hormones. Details Identifiers Latin Systema endocrinum Me SH D004703FMA 9668Anatomical terminology [ edit on Wikidata]The endocrine system is a chemical messenger system consisting of hormones, the group of glands of an organism that secrete those hormones directly into the circulatory system to be carried towards distant target organs, and the feedback loops of homeostasis that the hormones drive. In humans, the major endocrine glands include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testis, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, and adrenal glands. In vertebrates, the hypothalamus is the neural control center for all endocrine systems. The field of study dealing with the endocrine system and its disorders is endocrinology, a branch of internal medicine. [ 1]Special features of endocrine glands are, in general, their ductless nature, their vascularity, and commonly the presence of intracellular vacuoles or granules that store their hormones. In contrast, exocrine glands, such as salivary glands, sweat glands, and glands within the gastrointestinal tract, tend to be much less vascular and have ducts or a hollow lumen. A number of glands that signal each other in sequence are usually referred to as an axis, for example, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. In addition to the specialized endocrine organs mentioned above, many other organs that are part of other body systems, such as bone, kidney, liver, heart and gonads, have secondary endocrine functions." }, { "docid": "D1043895#0", "title": "https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/medicine/1838\nPrimolut N", "text": "This information is intended for use by health professionals1.

November 19, 2008 by lylemcd 79 Comments A perennial question, argument and debate in the field of nutrition has to do with how many carbohydrates people should be eating. While the nutritional mainstream is still more or less advocating a large amount of daily carbohydrate (with fat being blamed for the health problems of the modern world), groups often considered at the ‘fringe’ of nutrition are adamant that carbohydrates are the source of all evil when it comes to health, obesity, etc. They advocate lowering carbohydrates and replacing them with dietary protein, fat or both. This is a topic that I discussed in some detail in Carbohydrates and Fat Controversies Part 1 and Carbohydrate and Fat Controversies Part 2 and I’d recommend readers take a look at those for a slightly different look at the issue than what is discussed here. Arguments over recommended carbohydrate intake have a long history and it doesn’t appear to be close to ending any time soon. Typical mainstream recommendations have carbohydrates contributing 50% or more of total calories while many low-carbohydrate advocates suggest far fewer (ranging from the 40% of the Zone diet to close to zero for ketogenic diets). This article looks at the topic in detail. And while I originally wrote it quite a while back (some of you have probably seen it before), it was nice going over it with fine toothed comb for an update. While the majority of it stands up well over time, I was able to make some slight changes to the values, along with removing some original stuff that wasn’t really relevant." }, { "docid": "D2636333#0", "title": "http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/units/weight.htm\nImperial Measures of Weight", "text": "\"Imperial Measures of Weightindex --- alpha --- intro --- length --- area --- volume --- weight --- money --- angles --- weather --- other --- foreign --- trades --- documents --- metric --- tables This page gives Imperial units of weight.

Additionally, a bulk packaging has: * * * (1) A maximum capacity greater than 450 L (119 gallons) as a receptacle for a liquid; (2) A maximum net mass greater than 400 kg (882 pounds) and a maximum capacity greater than 450 L (119 gallons) as a receptacle for a solid; or (3) A water capacity greater than 454 kg (1000 pounds) as a receptacle for a gas as defined in §173.115 of this subchapter. Non-bulk packaging means a packaging which has: This Limited Quantity of a Haz Mat is in a non-bulk packaging. ( 1) A maximum capacity of 450 L (119 gallons) or less as a receptacle for a liquid; (2) A maximum net mass of 400 kg (882 pounds) or less and a maximum capacity of 450 L (119 gallons) or less as a receptacle for a solid; or (3) A water capacity of 454 kg (1000 pounds) or less as a receptacle for a gas as defined in §173.115 of this subchapter. A transport vehicle may also be a bulk packaging. Since bulk and non-bulk packagings are both a type of packaging, its important to know that defined term as well (also at 49 CFR 171.8): Packaging means a receptacle and any other components or materials necessary for the receptacle to perform its containment function in conformance with the minimum packing requirements of this subchapter." }, { "docid": "D476602#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080930114652AAnkgRZ\nOne gallon of water equals how many pounds ?", "text": "\"Science & Mathematics Mathematics One gallon of water equals how many pounds ?

Another stab at it Actually, a newton (N) is an SI (International System) measure of force...specifically, it is the force that produces an acceleration of 1 meter per second per second when exerted on a mass of 1 kilogram. Since weight is the downward force exerted on matter as a result of gravity, a k N of force can be equated to weight...hence, the response above.

Ramadan in 2016 will start on Monday, the 6th of June ( 6/6/2016) and will continue for 30 days until Tuesday, the 5th of July. Note that in the Muslim calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Muslims will celebrate Ramadan on the sunset of Sunday, the 5th of June. Although Ramadan is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. This difference means Ramadan moves in the Gregorian calendar approximately 11 days every year. The date of Ramadan may also vary from country to country depending on whether the moon has been sighted or not. The dates provided here are based on the dates adopted by the Fiqh Council of North America for the celebration of Ramadan. Note that these dates are based on astronomical calculations to affirm each date, and not on the actual sighting of the moon with the naked eyes. This approach is accepted by many, but is still being hotly debated. Dates of Ramadan by year When is Ramadan in 2006?" } ]

AMER ALMOHIBANY / AFP - Getty Images Curious About Ramadan? Here Are the Basics01:03Millions of Muslims around the world on Monday marked the start of Ramadan, a month of intense prayer, dawn-to-dusk fasting and nightly feasts. Others will begin fasting a day later, Tuesday, due to a moon-sighting methodology that can lead to different countries declaring the start of Ramadan a day or two apart. Here are some questions and answers about Islam's holiest month: Why Do Muslims Fast? The fast is intended to bring the faithful closer to God and to remind them of the suffering of those less fortunate. Ramadan is a time to detach from worldly pleasures and focus on one's inner self. It's seen as a way to physically and spiritually purify, refraining from habits such as smoking and caffeine. Muslims often donate to charities during the month and feed the hungry." }, { "docid": "D351762#0", "title": "http://www.ramadanmonth.com/\nWhen Is Ramadan 2018 | Ramadan Calendar, Dates, Timings", "text": "Ramadan is the ninth holy month of the Islamic calendar.

If on 29th of Shaban evening, new moon doesnt appear than the 1st day of the Ramadan month will begin without any condition of crescent visibility after completion of 30 days of Shaban month. Similarly, Ramadan will last 29 days long if Shawwal crescent appears on the 29th day evening otherwise, Ramadan will have its last day on its 30th day.

The interview has been edited and condensed. What is the significance of Ramadan? What is the event being observed?

Ramadan in 2015 will start on Thursday, the 18th of June ( 18/6/2015) and will continue for 30 days until Friday, the 17th of July. Note that in the Muslim calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Muslims will celebrate Ramadan on the sunset of Wednesday, the 17th of June. Although Ramadan is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. This difference means Ramadan moves in the Gregorian calendar approximately 11 days every year. The date of Ramadan may also vary from country to country depending on whether the moon has been sighted or not. The dates provided here are based on the dates adopted by the Fiqh Council of North America for the celebration of Ramadan. Note that these dates are based on astronomical calculations to affirm each date, and not on the actual sighting of the moon with the naked eyes. This approach is accepted by many, but is still being hotly debated.

Creatine can raise your DHT levels by as much as 56 percent! ( 1)According to a 2010 human study perfrmed on professional rugby players, creatine does not raise your total testosterone concentration but does significantly improve the conversion of free testosterone to the ‘active’ form of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT):‘After 7 days of creatine loading, or a further 14 days of creatine maintenance dose, serum T levels did not change. However, levels of DHT increased by 56% after 7 days of creatine loading and remained 40% above baseline after 14 days maintenance (P < 0.001). The ratio of DHT: T also increased by 36% after 7 days creatine supplementation and remained elevated by 22% after the maintenance dose (P < 0.01).’Whilst many claim that DHT is a ‘bad’ form of testosterone that causes male pattern balding and prostate problems, it has recently been shown that there has to be a combination of high DHT with high estrogen to promote these issues. DHT may effectively treat prostate problems by competing with estrogen (2). It appears that taking steps to control estrogen rather than suppressing DHT is the best method for keeping your prostate healthy." }, { "docid": "D1895083#0", "title": "http://www.kansascity.com/living/food-drink/eating-for-life/article315562/Hot-and-Sour-Soup-is-high-in-flavor-low-in-sodium.html\nHot and Sour Soup is high in flavor, low in sodium", "text": "The Star’s Hot and Sour Soup uses a combination of low-sodium chicken broth and reduced-sodium soy sauce to whittle the sodium to a more moderate 310 milligrams.

Beginning with the discovery of penicillin in 1928, the rapid resolution of bacterial infections from antibiotics caused many in the medical profession to become completely enamored with the drug based approach to illness erroneously thinking that the danger to human life from infections was a thing of the past. Not so fast. By 1940, antibiotics had come into widespread use causing both doctors and people to gradually forget about natural antibiotics for resolving infections and the age old remedies like cod liver oil. This change in the medical paradigm has led in recent decades to abuse of drug based antibiotics and the worrisome rise of antibiotic resistant superbugs such as the “TDR” (totally drug resistant) strain of tuberculosis and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections particularly in babies and children. The over-reliance on drug based resolution to infections has also triggered an epidemic of children and adults with compromised gut function and autoimmune diseases of all kinds due to an imbalanced intestinal environment and the consequential scourge of leaky gut syndrome. Beyond the problem of antibiotic resistance, however, are the long term effects of even a single round of antibiotics. The expectation in the health community that you can just fix the damage with probiotics and/or fermented foods and that gut flora magically returns to normal seems to be far from accurate. Evidence is now emerging from multiple sources that gut flora may actually be permanently altered by drugs or, at the very least, the damage persists for several years. The Journal Microbiology, for instance , reports that the generally acknowledged precept that use of antibiotics only causes disruption of the gut flora for a few weeks is highly flawed." }, { "docid": "D241774#0", "title": "https://www.bodybuilding.com/content/the-40-best-low-calorie-foods.html\nThe 40 Best Low-Calorie Foods", "text": "\"Nutrition Nutrition Tips The 40 Best Low-Calorie Foods Low-calorie doesn't have to mean low on flavor or nutrients.

When you steep loose tea (typically made from whole or partially broken tea leaves) the leaves are able to expand and unfurl as they interact with hot water. The result is a brewed tea that yields all of the subtle flavor nuances its grower and producer intended. There are several factors that determine how great your brewed cup will be. Depending on the type of tea, the water temperature and steeping time will play important roles. ( Learn more about the three Ts—type, temperature, and time— visit our How to Brew Tea page. ) Another important factor is the ratio of loose leaf tea to water. In other words, how much tea should we steep to yield the perfect brewed cup? Steeping too many tea leaves could yield a brewed tea that’s too strong, astringent, or even bitter. Steeping too few tea leaves could yield a weak tea that tastes more like hot water than a cup of tea." }, { "docid": "D798250#0", "title": "http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/much-sugar-really-soda-4922.html\nHow Much Sugar Is Really in a Soda?", "text": "\"Related Articles What Happens if You Only Drink Soda vs. Water?

There was little clinical data on herbs, and what did exist was mostly published in German. But researchers (and translators) have been busy of late, and we now have proof that herbs are viable treatments for many ailments. “Herbs won’t replace pharmaceuticals, but the research shows that–for many conditions–herbs work well, are cheaper than drugs and cause fewer side effects,” says Mary Hardy, M. D., medical director of the integrative medicine program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. “ Herbs aren’t quite mainstream, but they’re moving in that direction. Patients are interested in them, and doctors are increasingly familiar with herb research. “Twenty years ago, there was no integrative program at Cedars-Sinai” she adds. “ Now there is. That says something” Here, then, are the proven, 55 best herbal treatments.

Coughing is not really a condition in itself, but is simply a natural reflex to keep the throat and airways clear. When caused by some condition, then coughing is simply one of the many possible symptoms of that condition. At other times a cough may simply develop as a result of irritation to the throat or respiratory passages. Because of the frequency with which we are afflicted with coughs and colds most people prefer using natural methods of treatment to deal with a regular cough. A severe, persistent cough or one that is accompanied by other symptoms should however be examined and investigated by a health care professional. Cough remedies for children, toddlers, babies and infants are particularly popular, because many over the counter drugs can be quite strong and are not ideally suited to frequent administration particularly in children. The same holds true for pregnant women, which is why there is a widespread usage of cough remedies for kids and cough remedies while pregnant for pregnant women. A cough is not usually a threatening condition and will resolve naturally, but it can be troublesome, particularly when coughing at night keeps you up and prevents you from recuperating. This can lead to fatigue, irritability and exhaustion, serving to further weaken your immune system, leaving you more vulnerable to illness." }, { "docid": "D552635#0", "title": "http://foodfacts.mercola.com/ginger.html\nWhat Is Ginger Good For?", "text": "\"What Is Ginger Good For?0Disponible en Español Ginger Binging Botanical name: Zingiber officinale Prized for its medicinal and culinary properties in Asian cultures for thousands of years, ginger, also known as ginger root, is an underground rhizome. It's a little strange-looking, like a small, rounded, brown cactus. But the fragrance is pleasantly pungent, and the flavor completely unique, reminiscent of citrus with acidic notes. Ginger is a versatile addition to soups, sauces, marinades, and a number of other dishes, from baked apples to stir-fried vegetables. A cup of tea, of course, is one of its hallmarks, not just for pleasant flavor, but soothing qualities. Early Roman traders carried ginger from Southeast Asia to Europe, where it became a hit by the Middle Ages. It was very expensive, but even then renowned for healing capabilities. Henry VIII even suggested it as a remedy for the plague. Spanish explorers introduced it to the West Indies, South America, and Mexico, which began exporting it back to Europe in the 16th century.

Maybe it's time to upgrade to a truck. The question is, \"\"What kind?\"\" Soon after you begin your search, you'll realize that shopping for the right truck can get confusing. When it comes to heavy duty towing and hauling, it's easy to get lost in the sea of terms and safety requirements. The real meaning of \"\"half-ton\"\" pickup, for instance, eludes some automotive folks, let alone first-time truck buyers. A ton is 2000 pounds (907.19 kg), so does it follow that a half-ton truck weighs 1000 pounds (453.5 kg)? Actually, the name doesn't refer to the weight of the truck. In fact, half-ton pickups weigh much more than that. The weight of a truck without cargo or passengers is called the curb weight." } ]

The twenty-foot equivalent unit (often TEU or teu) is an inexact unit of cargo capacity often used to describe the capacity of container ships andcontainer terminals. It is based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container, a standard-sized metal box which can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains and trucks. One TEU represents the cargo capacity of a standard intermodal container, 20 feet (6.1 m) long and 8 feet (2.44 m) wide. There is a lack of standardisation in regards to height, ranging between 4 feet 3 inches (1.30 m) and 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m), with the most common height being 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 m). Also, it is common to designate 45-foot (13.7 m) containers as 2 TEU, rather than 2.25 TEU. Forty-foot equivalent unit (often FEU or feu) Standard unit for describing a ship's cargo carrying capacity, or a shipping terminal's cargo handling capacity.

[ 1] Intermodal containers are primarily used to store and transport materials and products efficiently and securely in the global containerized intermodal freight transport system, but smaller numbers are in regional use as well. These containers are known under a number of names, such as simply container, cargo or freight container, ISO container, shipping, sea or ocean container, container van or ( Conex) box, sea or c can. [ nb 1]Intermodal containers exist in many types and a number of standardized sizes, but ninety percent of the global container fleet are so-called \"\"dry freight\"\" or \"\"general purpose\"\" containers, [2] [3] durable closed steel boxes, mostly of either twenty or forty foot (6 or 12m) standard length. [ 2] [4] The common heights are 8 feet 6 inches (2.6 m) and 9 feet 6 inches (2.9 m) – the latter are known as High Cube or Hi-Cube containers. [ 5]Just like cardboard boxes and pallets, these containers are a means to bundle cargo and goods into larger, unitized loads, that can be easily handled, moved, and stacked, and that will pack tightly in a ship or yard. Intermodal containers share a number of key construction features to withstand the stresses of intermodal shipping, to facilitate their handling and to allow stacking, as well as being identifiable through their individual, unique ISO 6346 reporting mark. In 2012, there were about 20.5 million intermodal containers in the world of varying types to suit different cargoes.

A concrete mixer (often mistakenly called a cement mixer) is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components. For smaller volume works portable concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be made at the construction site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete before it hardens. An alternative to a machine is mixing concrete by hand. This is usually done in a wheelbarrow; however, several companies have recently begun to sell modified tarps for this purpose.

Before 1980, most produced bitumen was transported by truck, but trucking is seasonally restricted and relatively inefficient and expensive compared to pipeline transport. However, bitumen in its undiluted state is too viscous and dense to be transported by pipeline. To create a fluid capable of transportation by pipeline, bitumen must be mixed with a fluid that has much lower viscosity and will keep bitumen from precipitating out of the mixture. By 1985 and demonstrating the effectiveness of dilbit, Alberta Energy Company was operating dual pipelines to transport diluent from Edmonton to Cold Lake and dilbit from Cold Lake to Edmonton.

CALCULATION OF MACHINE RATES3.1 Introduction3.2 Classification of Costs3.3 Definitions3.4 Fixed Costs3.5 Operating Costs3.6 Labor Costs3.7 Variable Effort Cycles3.8 Animal Rates3.9 Examples3.1 Introduction The unit cost of logging or road construction is essentially derived by dividing cost by production. In its simplest case, if you rented a tractor with operator for $60 per hour - including all fuel and other costs - and you excavated 100 cubic meters per hour, your unit cost for excavation would be $0.60 per cubic meter. The hourly cost of the tractor with operator is called the machine rate. In cases where the machine and the elements of production are not rented, a calculation of the owning and operating costs is necessary to derive the machine rate. The objective in developing a machine rate should be to arrive at a figure that, as nearly as possible, represents the cost of the work done under the operating conditions encountered and the accounting system in use. Most manufacturers of machinery supply data for the cost of owning and operating their equipment that will serve as the basis of machine rates. However, such data usually need modification to meet specific conditions of operation, and many owners of equipment will prefer to prepare their own rates.3.2 Classification of Costs The machine rate is usually, but not always, divided into fixed costs, operating costs, and labor costs.

Wijchers 1 Richard J. Festenstein 2Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.tig.2011.01.004 Get rights and content Males and females display differences in physiology, behaviour and susceptibility to many diseases. Genome-wide transcription profiling studies have uncovered large-scale sex differences in autosomal gene expression in somatic tissues that are thought to underlie such ‘sexual dimorphisms’. Because males and females differ genetically mainly in their sex chromosome complement, most sex differences can be traced back to the X and Y chromosomes. Although sex hormones are usually considered the main architects of sexual dimorphisms, recent studies have demonstrated that sex chromosomes can also induce sex differences in somatic gene expression in the absence of hormonal differences. The recent discovery of epigenetic sex differences that are not hormone-induced brings us closer to understanding differences in autosomal gene expression. In this review, we discuss the insights gained from these findings and the mechanisms by which X and Y chromosomes might induce epigenetic sex differences. Previous article Next article Sexual dimorphism in gene expression; not just hormones All animal species display differences between males and females [1]. In humans, such ‘sexual dimorphisms’ are most obviously apparent as physical and behavioural differences. Importantly, the prevalence, course and response to treatment of many diseases differ between males and females [2]. Males and females differ by only a handful of genes on the sex chromosomes, so most sexual dimorphisms are considered to be driven by the gene expression differences of autosomal genes in both the reproductive organs and in nongonadal, somatic tissues. Such gene expression differences are common during development and in adult tissues across many mammalian species [3,4]. Moreover, genes not differentially expressed often show sex-specific variations in exon usage and levels of particular splicing isoforms [5,6]. The true extent of sexually dimorphic gene expression in somatic tissues was not appreciated until a recent large-scale microarray analysis of hundreds of mice provided the statistical power to reliably detect minor gene expression differences [7]. This study revealed that thousands of autosomal genes are differentially expressed between the sexes in several somatic tissues, with 14% (brain) to 70% (liver) of active genes affected [7]. Although the expression changes were less than 1.2-fold for the majority of genes, small-scale differences in many genes are expected to have a large combined impact on cellular differences between the sexes. Of course, a 1.2-fold change might not reflect a 1.2-fold change in all cells across a heterogeneous population, and might also reflect differences in the proportion of cells expressing a given gene, similar to what is observed in position–effect variegation (PEV, Box 1 )." }, { "docid": "D1458918#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_many_autosomes_do_humans_have\nHow many autosomes do humans have?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Genetics How many autosomes do humans have?

There are currently nine types of phenotypically diverse non-syndromic syndactyly, an increase since the original classification by Temtamy and Mc Kusick (1978). Non-syndromic syndactyly is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, although the more severe presenting types and sub types appear to have autosomal recessive and in some cases X-linked hereditary. Gene research has found that these phenotypes appear to not only be one gene specific, although having individual localised loci, but dependant on a wide range of genes and subsequent signalling pathways involved in limb formation. The principal genes so far defined to be involved in congenital syndactyly concern mainly the Zone of Polarizing Activity and Shh pathway. Research into the individual phenotypes appears to complicate classification as new genes are found both linked, and not linked, to each malformation. Consequently anatomical, phenotypical and genotypical classifications can be used, but are variable in significance, depending on the audience.

A geneticist studies birth disorders and their cause. Normally each individual has 46 chromosomes in every cell. Most fetuses receive 23 chromosomes from each parent. Chromosomes are structures found in every cell of the body. Typically there are 22 non-sex chromosome pairs called autosomes, and one sex chromosome pair.

The renal cysts originate from the epithelia of the nephrons and renal collecting system and are lined by a single layer of cells that have higher rates of cellular proliferation and are less differentiated than normal tubular cells ( 1 ). Abnormalities in gene expression, cell polarity, fluid secretion, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix have also been described in PKD, but the mechanism of cyst formation remains incompletely understood ( 2 – 6 ). In recent months, there have been several advances in our understanding of the genetics and pathogenesis of PKD. Genes responsible for autosomal recessive PKD in humans and mice have been cloned, the PKD2 gene product has been identified as an intracellular calcium release channel, the PKD1 gene product has been found to regulate the cell cycle, and a neglected cellular organelle, the primary cilium, has emerged as a potential key player in polycystic disease. In this review, we will discuss how the cloning of the human PKD genes and the characterization of animal models have provided new insights into the pathogenesis of PKD. It is hoped that a more thorough understanding of the genetics and pathogenesis of PKD will lead to improvements in diagnosis and treatment." }, { "docid": "D81279#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_Dystrophy\nMuscular dystrophy", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Muscular Dystrophy)navigation search Muscular dystrophy In affected muscle (right), the tissue has become disorganized and the concentration of dystrophin (green) is greatly reduced, compared to normal muscle (left).

Synonyms of Severe Chronic Neutropenia SCNSubdivisions of Severe Chronic Neutropeniachronic congenital neutropeniachronic idiopathic neutropeniacyclic neutropenia General Discussion Severe chronic neutropenia (SCN) is a rare blood disorder characterized by abnormally low levels of certain white blood cells (neutrophils) in the body (neutropenia). Neutrophils play an essential role in fighting bacterial infections by surrounding and destroying invading bacteria (phagocytosis). Symptoms associated with severe chronic neutropenia include recurring fevers, mouth sores (ulcers), and/or inflammation of the tissues that surround and support the teeth (periodontitis). Due to low levels of neutrophils, affected individuals may be more susceptible to recurring infections that, in some cases, may result in life-threatening complications. SCN may last for months or years and can affect both children and adults. Clinicians recognize three forms of the disorder: congenital, cyclical, and idiopathic neutropenia. The term idiopathic neutropenia is used when severe chronic neutropenia occurs for unknown reasons. Signs & Symptoms Symptoms and physical findings associated with severe chronic neutropenia vary greatly depending on how low the level of neutrophils in the blood falls. As earlier noted, the four main subdivisions of severe chronic neutropenia are congenital, cyclical, idiopathic, and autoimmune." }, { "docid": "D2892464#0", "title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-autosome.htm\nWhat is an Autosome?", "text": "Within the nucleus of the cell, DNA is arranged into discrete structures called chromosomes. Cells within sexually reproducing organisms have two copies of each chromosome, called homologous chromosomes. One copy comes from the male parent and one comes from the female. Two chromosomes, or one pair, determine the sex of the organism, so they are called the sex chromosomes. The rest of the chromosomes are referred to as autosomes. For example, humans have 46 chromosomes, or 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes. A karyotype is an image created of all the chromosomes within a nucleus. In a karyotype of a human cell, pairs one to 22 are autosome pairs, while pair 23 consists of the sex chromosomes. The paired autosomes are arranged from one to 22 in descending size.

This depends on sexual differentiation among organisms - even bacteria and single celled eukaryotic algae show sexual differentiation - more complex organisms show phenotypic dimorphism between males and femalesphenotypic dimorphism Sexual dimorphism is a phenotypic difference between males and females of the same species, meaning that there are obvious differences between the male and female of the species. The main differences are the presence or absence of reproductive organs. How is your sex determined? Sex is characterized by differences in sex chromosomes - genes determine sexual differences (found on the sex chromosomes) - however there is often some interaction between genes on autosomes and X/Y chromosomes ex.

A genetic mutation means that a gene contains a change – like a spelling mistake – that disrupts the gene message (makes the gene faulty). Genetic mutations can occur spontaneously. Sometimes a faulty gene is inherited, which means it is passed on from parent to child. Genetic changes that make a gene faulty can cause a wide range of conditions. Although most related parents will have healthy children, they are more likely than unrelated parents to have children with health problems or genetic disorders.

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is one of the most common life threatening genetic disorder and affects many people worldwide. It can vary in certain parts of the world from 1 to 400 people to 1 in 1000 people affected worldwide depending on the part of the world. PKD is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous fluid - filled cysts on the kidneys which dramatically enlarge kidneys which severely compromises kidneys function. PKD is prevalent, inherited condition for which there is currently no effective specific clinical therapy. The cysts are derived from renal tubular epithelial cells which gradually compress the parenchyma and compromise renal function.

A Look at the Everyday Healthcare Heroes By Anna Heinrich on 7/31/2017 4 Comments From Scrubs to Nurse Jackie to Chicago Med, you’ve seen nurses portrayed multiple times on TV. Sure, they wear scrubs, give shots and carry stethoscopes around their necks, but what does a registered nurse actually do? More than you might think!For starters, registered nurses (RNs) are not limited to working in hospital settings. RNs can also work in clinics, schools, assisted living facilities, homes, schools and more. They can also specialize in areas such as cardiac care, midwifery, family practice, geriatrics, labor and delivery and emergency nursing. Increased access to healthcare and an aging Baby Boomer population have led to high demand for registered nurses. In fact, employment for RNs is projected to increase 16 percent through 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That growth coupled with the above-average earning potential makes a registered nursing career sound appealing.

Summarize the most important beliefs and assumptions of symbolic interactionism and exchange theory. The sociological understanding of social problems rests heavily on the concept of the sociological imagination. We discuss this concept in some detail before turning to various theoretical perspectives that provide a further context for understanding social problems. The Sociological Imagination Many individuals experience one or more social problems personally. For example, many people are poor and unemployed, many are in poor health, and many have family problems, drink too much alcohol, or commit crime. When we hear about these individuals, it is easy to think that their problems are theirs alone, and that they and other individuals with the same problems are entirely to blame for their difficulties. Sociology takes a different approach, as it stresses that individual problems are often rooted in problems stemming from aspects of society itself." }, { "docid": "D522089#0", "title": "https://www.law.cornell.edu/ethics/ca/narr/CA_NARR_1_01.HTM\nEnd-of-life notice: American Legal Ethics Library", "text": "\"End-of-life notice: American Legal Ethics Library As of March 1, 2013, the Legal Information Institute is no longer maintaining the information in the American Legal Ethics Library.

This support could include being offered money to pay for things that make caring easier. Or the local authority might offer practical support, such as arranging for someone to step in when you need a short break. It could also put you in touch with local support groups so you have people to talk to. The Care Act 2014 makes carer's assessments more widely available to people in caring roles. For more information, read about the Care Act changes for carers. Local authorities now have a legal duty to assess any carer who requests one or who appears to need support. If you are a carer and you need some support, get in touch with the council covering the area where the person you care for lives. The council will be able to give you information and advice about how the assessment will work.

In some states, the conversations between school counselors and students are considered privileged communication. In most states, however, school counselors are required to testify in court proceedings. Visit www.schoolcounselor.org/ethics to see your state’s statutes. Even when your state statute grants privilege for the school counselor/student relationship, the statute often contains exceptions and caveats allowing a judge to determine when the needs of the state outweigh the privilege. If the case is tried in federal court, then the state statute may or may not extend. If you deem it important to avoid testifying, then inform the attorney that you do not have any information to help the case (if this is true).

Anka Draganski Chloride is a major mineral that works with sodium and potassium to keep your body fluid levels balanced. It works by maintaining the fluid volume outside of the cells. The cells in the lining of your stomach need chloride to make hydrochloric acid, which is a component of your digestive juices . It's easy to find chloride in foods, so deficiency is rare. Table salt and sea salt are both 40 percent chloride by volume so you'll consume chloride every time you add salt to your foods or when you eat foods that are made with salt. Salt substitutes often use chloride too -- it's just the sodium that's replaced in products such as potassium chloride. That's because sodium has been linked to high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases in some people. Many vegetables such as celery, tomatoes, lettuce, and seaweeds are good sources of chloride as well.

Menu items that are low in calories can carry up to half your daily recommended amount of sodium and a day’s worth of fat—while some of Panera’s more caloric entries may actually be among your best choices. And another tricky dilemma at Panera: In 2014, the restaurant announced a commitment to “clean” ingredients and full nutritional transparency. That means they no longer allow partially hydrogenated oils—those unhealthy trans fats you’ve been warned about—in their food. And yet, in some cases, you’ll notice that Panera actually lists trans fats in the nutritional breakdown of their menu items. What gives? The trans fat at Panera is a naturally occurring lipid called conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, that’s found in beef and turkey (but not chicken or pork).

If you're trying to cut calories or just plain eat healthier, navigating the meat section at your local grocery store can be just as confusing as decoding a nutrition label! For those who eat it, meat provides protein and other nutrients, too, including iron, thiamine, and zinc. But many sources of meat can also be high in fat, especially saturated fat, which has been linked to high cholesterol and heart disease. And any food that is high in fat is also higher in calories, which can make it tough to reach your weight management goals. To assist consumers in meat selection, the government developed the following definitions, based on a cooked, 3-ounce portion of meat. Extra lean meat contains less than 5 grams of total fat and less than 2 grams of saturated fat. Lean meat contains less than 10 grams of total fat and less than 4.5 grams of saturated fat.

A 3-cup serving of white, air-popped popcorn has 92 calories, 1 gram of fat and 1 milligram of sodium, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

While many variations of the sport exist, triathlon, in its most popular form, involves swimming, cycling, and running in immediate succession over various distances. Triathletes compete for fastest overall course completion time, including timed \"\"transitions\"\" between the individual swim, cycle, and run components. The word \"\"triathlon\"\" is of Greek origin from τρεις or trei and αθλος or athlos. Triathlon races vary in distance. According to the International Triathlon Union, and USA Triathlon, the main international race distances are: ⁕Sprint Distance; 750 metres swim, 20 kilometres bike, 5 kilometres run ⁕Intermediate distance; commonly referred to as \"\"Olympic distance\"\": 1.5 kilometres swim, 40 kilometres bike, 10 kilometres run ⁕Long Course; 1.2 miles swim, 56 miles ride, 13.1 miles run ⁕Ultra Distance; 2.4 miles swim, 112 miles ride, and a full marathon: 26.2 miles run The most recognized branded Ultra Distance is the Ironman triathlon. Transition areas are positioned both between the swim and bike segments, and between the bike and run segments and are where the switches from swimming to cycling and cycling to running occur. These areas are used to store bicycles, performance apparel, and any other accessories needed for preparing for the next stage of the race. The time spent in T1 and T2 is included in the overall time of the race. Transitions areas can vary in size depending on the number of participants expected for the race." }, { "docid": "D1109083#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100102122310AAzucXn\nHow far is the horizon over water?", "text": "\"Science & Mathematics Geography How far is the horizon over water? Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: It depends on your height above the surface of the water. The formula is: The straight line of sight distance d in kilometers to the true horizon on earth is approximately d = Square root of (13 * h) where h is the height above ground or sea level (in meters) of the eye of the observer. Examples: For an observer standing at sea level with h = 1.70 metres (5 ft 7 in) (average eye-level height), the horizon is at a distance of 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi). For an observer standing on a hill or tower of 100 metres (330 ft) in height, the horizon is at a distance of 36 kilometres (22 mi). For Imperial units, 13 is replaced by 1.5, h is in feet and d is in miles. Thus: d = Square root of (1.5 * h) Examples: For observers on the ground with eye-level at h = 5 ft 7 in (5.583 ft), the horizon is at a distance of 2.89 miles (4.65 km). For observers standing on a hill or tower 100 feet (30 m) in height, the horizon is at a distance of 12.25 miles (19.71 km). If the US Navy ever said the horizon was 14 miles away, it must have been from the masthead of a large ship - about 130 feet (39.82 meters) above the water.

The principal constituent of granite is feldspar. Both plagioclase feldspar and alkali feldspar are usually abundant in it, and their relative abundance has provided the basis for granite classifications. In most granite, the ratio of the dominant to the subdominant feldspar is less than two. This includes most granites from the eastern, central, and southwestern United States, southwestern England, the Fennoscandian (Baltic Shield) area, western and central France, Spain, and many other areas. Granites in which plagioclase greatly exceeds alkali feldspar are common in large regions of the western United States and are thought to be characteristic of the great series of batholiths stretching from Alaska and British Columbia southward through Idaho and California into Mexico." }, { "docid": "D1892821#0", "title": "https://animalcorner.co.uk/animals/zebras/\nZebras", "text": "Zebras ADVERTISEMENTImage Source Zebras are equids – members of the horse family (Equidae) and are medium sized, odd-toed ungulates.

Long-distance running, or endurance running, is a form of continuous running over distances of at least eight kilometres (5 miles). Physiologically, it is largely aerobic in nature and requires stamina as well as mental strength. [ 1]Among mammals, humans are well adapted for running significant distances, and particularly so among primates. The endurance running hypothesis suggests that running endurance in the Homo genus arose because travelling over large areas improved scavenging opportunities and allowed persistence hunting. The capacity for endurance running is also found in migratory ungulates and a limited number of terrestrial carnivores, such as dogs, wolves and hyenas.

This large vertical habitat for gas and the additional availability of source material indicate that considerable gas may have been formed and still remains undiscovered. Indeed, it is estimated that 45 percent of the world’s recoverable gas remains undiscovered and that, on the basis of energy content, the world’s ultimate recoverable resources of natural gas will approach those of oil. Because the utilization of gas in large volumes lags behind the use of oil, the world’s stock of gas is expected to last longer than that of oil. However, if the consumption of gas approaches that of oil on an equivalent basis, it too will be short-lived as a major energy resource. The flaring of associated gas has long been a practice connected with oil production. As recently as 2004, according to a report issued by the World Bank, approximately 150 billion cubic metres (150 bcm), or 5.3 trillion cubic feet (5.3 tcf), of the world’s annual gas production was lost at the wellhead by this procedure. This would be equivalent to some 25 percent of the United States’ annual gas consumption or 75 percent of Russia’s annual gas exports for that year. Historically, Middle Eastern and African oil-producing countries have flared the most gas. Much of the gas yielded is reinjected, but what cannot be reinjected has often been flared because the remote location of many oil wells makes the recovery of gas expensive." }, { "docid": "D3104785#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_many_laps_around_a_football_field_equal_a_mile\nHow many laps around a soccer field equal a mile?", "text": "\"How many laps around a soccer field equal a mile?

One of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists had believed that the iconic stone monument was erected around 2500 BC. However one recent theory has suggested that the first stones were not erected until 2400-2200 BC, while another suggests that bluestones may have been erected at the site as early as 3000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury henge monument, and it is also a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge itself is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust. New archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project indicates that Stonehenge served as a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. The dating of cremated remains found that burials took place as early as 3000 B. C, when the first ditches were being built around the monument. Burials continued at Stonehenge for at least another 500 years when the giant stones which mark the landmark were put up." }, { "docid": "D2676460#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead,_South_Dakota\nLead, South Dakota", "text": "\"Lead, South Dakota From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Lead City Lead, South Dakota Aerial photo of Lead Location in Lawrence County and the state of South Dakota Coordinates: 44°21′3″N 103°45′57″WCoordinates: 44°21′3″N 103°45′57″WCountry United States State South Dakota County Lawrence Incorporated 1890 [1]Area [2]• Total 2.06 sq mi (5.34 km 2)• Land 2.06 sq mi (5.34 km 2)• Water 0 sq mi (0 km 2)Elevation 5,213 ft (1,589 m)Population ( 2010) [3]• Total 3,124• Estimate (2015) [4] 2,999• Density 1,516.5/sq mi (585.5/km 2)Time zone Mountain (MST) ( UTC-7)• Summer ( DST) MDT ( UTC-6)ZIP code 57754Area code (s) 605FIPS code 46-36220 [5]GNIS feature ID 1265276 [6]Website http://cityoflead.com/www .leadmethere .org Lead Historic District U.

The city was named for the leads or lodes of the deposits of valuable ores. [ 9] It is the site of the Homestake Mine, the largest, deepest (8,240 feet [2,510 m]) and most productive gold mine in the Western Hemisphere before closing in January 2002. By 1910, Lead had a population of 8,382, making it the second largest town in South Dakota. [ 10]Lead was founded as a company town by the Homestake Mining Company, which ran the nearby Homestake Mine. Phoebe Hearst, wife of George Hearst, one of the principals, was instrumental in making Lead more livable. She established the Hearst Free Public Library in town, and in 1900 the Hearst Free Kindergarten." }, { "docid": "D2797005#0", "title": "http://www.cadtutor.net/tutorials/autocad/units-and-scales.php\nUnits and Scales", "text": "\"Units and Scalesby David Watson Introduction Among the most important concepts that newcomers to Auto CAD need to get to grips with are those of drawing scale and drawing units. You cannot start creating sensible drawings with Auto CAD until you are familiar with scale, units and the commands you use to control them. This tutorial discusses these concepts, starting with the two most commonly asked questions in this subject area. At what scale should I draw? As a general rule, everything you draw with Auto CAD will be drawn full size. This often comes as quite a surprise to those who are new to CAD and have spent a number of years working on a drawing board. When you start drawing with Auto CAD you do not have to decide upon a drawing scale as you do when using a drawing board. When drawing on paper you must decide do draw at say, 1:20 or 1:200 depending upon the size of the object that you are drawing so that your scaled drawing will fit on the drawing sheet, be that A3 or A1. In Auto CAD you do not need to decide upon a drawing scale until you come to print the drawing and because the scaling of your drawing takes place at the printing stage, you can create drawings at a scale of 1:1. This has particular advantages because you can, for example, measure lengths, areas and volumes within an Auto CAD drawing and not need to compensate for any scale factor." }, { "docid": "D2781594#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_many_furlongs_is_the_Grand_National\nHow many furlongs is the Grand National?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Units of Measure Length and Distance How many furlongs is the Grand National?

It was not until 1847 that Ben Nevis was confirmed by the Ordnance Survey as the highest mountain in Britain, ahead of its rival Ben Macdui. The summit observatory was built in the summer of 1883, and would remain in operation for 21 years. The first path to the summit was built at the same time as the observatory and was designed to allow ponies to carry up supplies, with a maximum gradient of one in five. The opening of the path and the observatory made the ascent of the Ben increasingly popular, all the more so after the arrival of the West Highland Railway in Fort William in 1894. Our Route: The 1883 Pony Track to the summit (also known as the Ben Path, the Mountain Path, or the Tourist Route) remains the simplest and most popular route of ascent. It begins at Achintee on the east side of Glen Nevis about 2 km (1.5 miles) from Fort William town centre, at around 20 metres above sea level. The path starts off gently from the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre via a bridge crossing the River Nevis and affords easy walking before climbing steeply to the saddle by Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe at 570m, and then ascends the remaining 700 metres up the stony west flank of Ben Nevis in a series of zig-zags. It is well made and maintained throughout its length, and, thanks to the zig-zags, not unusually steep apart from the initial stages. Start / Finish: Glen Nevis Visitor Centre Car Park Ascent: 4350 feet Target time: Ascent: 2.5 - 3 hour / Descent: 2 - 2.5 hours Ben Nevis, although not as high as Alpine mountains, is positioned on a more northerly latitude and the climate can be considered similar to Arctic regions." }, { "docid": "D2611475#0", "title": "http://www.mathsisfun.com/measure/unit.html\n\"\"\"Unit\"\" of Measurement\"", "text": "\"\"\"Unit\"\" of Measurement In Measurementwe talk about \"\"Units\"\" ... what are they?

Go to: Abstract Aims Our aim was to study the effect of grapefruit juice on the pharmacokinetics of levothyroxine. Methods In a randomized cross-over study with two phases, 10 healthy subjects ingested 200 ml grapefruit juice or water (control) three times daily for 2 days. On day 3, a single 600 µg dose of levothyroxine was administered with 200 ml grapefruit juice or water, which was also ingested 1 h before and 1 h after levothyroxine. Serum concentrations of total thyroxine (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were measured up to 24 h. Results Grapefruit juice decreased slightly (11%; P < 0.01) the maximal increase of T4 concentration after ingestion of levothyroxine from 66.4 nmol l −1 to 59.4 nmol l −1 (95% CI on the difference −11.3, −2.7). The incremental areas under the serum T4 concentration-time curve (d AUC) during the first 4 and 6 h were also decreased slightly: d AUC (0,4 h) by 13% ( P < 0.05), from 195 nmol l −1 h to 169 nmol l −1 h (95% CI −51, −1) and d AUC (0,6 h) by 9% ( P = 0.085), from 298 nmol l −1 h to 271 nmol l −1 h (95% CI −58, 4). The decrease in the serum concentration of TSH (1.25 m U l −1) measured 24 h after ingestion of levothyroxine, was not altered by grapefruit juice. Conclusions Grapefruit juice may slightly delay the absorption of levothyroxine, but it seems to have only a minor effect on its bioavailability. Accordingly, the clinical relevance of the grapefruit juice-levothyroxine interaction is likely to be small." }, { "docid": "D2241395#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_many_ml_is_1_cup_of_milk\nHow many ml is 1 cup of milk?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Food & Cooking Baking How many ml is 1 cup of milk?

Although most liquids in Canada are measured on the metric system, you'll find that Canadians are well-versed in using the Imperial ounces and gallons the U. S. uses, too. For Instance, bottled sodas in Canada are measured in ounces, but milk is sold by the liter in individual clear plastic sealed bags that you can take home and transfer to a jug for serving. Common liquor measurements include a Canadian \"\"twenty-sixer,\"\" which is a regular-sized bottle measuring 750 milliliters or 25 ounces; an American \"\"handle,\"\" which is the largest-sized bottle measuring 1.75 liters or 59 ounces; and a dual-culture \"\"forty,\"\" which is a 1.14-liter or 40-ounce bottle of beer. Converting Canadian Volumes to American Measurements If you're traveling to Canada, you may get a bit confused when filling up the gas tank or trying to buy a certain quantity of liquor, so you should learn how to convert from Canada's metric volume to America's Imperial volume measurement system. Fortunately, converting measurements from the metric system to the Imperial system is relatively straightforward. Use the following equivalents to figure out how much of a liquid you're getting in Canada in American measurements:1 liter = .2642 gallons (U. S.)1 gallon (U. S.) = 3.7854 liters1 milliliter = .0338 fluid ounces (U. S.)1 fluid ounce (U. S.) = 29.5735 milliliters Other common metric to Imperial equivalents you'll need to know when visiting Canada include converting grams and kilograms to ounces and pounds for weight, Celsius to Fahrenheit for temperature, kilometers per hour to miles per hour for speed, and meters and kilometers to yards and miles for distance. Common Volumes in Canada Before you set out for your trip to Canada, you should familiarize yourself with these common items you might find that will be measured in fluid milliliters and liters instead of ounces and gallons.

The answer to this is, of course, going to vary from drink to drink and there are a few things to consider. The average cocktail uses:1 1/2 ounces (the average shot) of a base liquor (i.e. vodka, gin, rum, etc.). Liqueurs are typically poured at 1/2 to 3/4 ounce. Accent juices (i.e. lemon and lime) typically use 1/4 to 1/2 ounce. Filling a highball or tall drink with juice or soda often requires 4 to 6 ounces.

Ounces? What are ounces? How many ounces in a liter? How many ml in a liter? How many oz to grams? How big is an ounce compared to a milliliter compared to a gram compared to a gallon compared to a dram? Unless you are used to measuring and labeling an ounces, ounce size may not mean a lot to you. Maybe the below is completely foreign - or just not important to you - and you want to view our jar sizes by width or by height?

Limitations of Use: Intermezzo is not indicated for the treatment of middle-of-the-night insomnia when the patient has fewer than 4 hours of bedtime remaining before the planned time of waking. Slideshow Melatonin: Worth Losing Sleep Over?2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Important Administration Instructions Intermezzo is to be taken in bed when a patient wakes in the middle of the night and has difficulty returning to sleep. Intermezzo should only be taken if the patient has at least 4 hours of bedtime remaining before the planned time of waking [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Intermezzo should be placed under the tongue and allowed to disintegrate completely before swallowing. The tablet should not be swallowed whole. For optimal effect, Intermezzo should not be administered with or immediately after a meal. The tablet should be removed from the pouch just prior to dosing. Basic Dosing Information The recommended and maximum dose of Intermezzo is 1.75 mg for women and 3.5 mg for men, taken only once per night as needed if a middle-of-the-night awakening is followed by difficulty returning to sleep. The recommended doses for women and men are different because women clear zolpidem from the body at a lower rate than men [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)]. Use with CNS Depressants The recommended Intermezzo dose for men and women who are taking concomitant CNS depressants is 1.75 mg. Dose adjustment of concomitant CNS depressants may be necessary when co-administered with Intermezzo because of potentially additive effects." }, { "docid": "D2789888#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_many_ml_in_1.75_liters\n1.75 liters equal to how many ml?", "text": "Jehiatt 2,374 Contributions1.75 liters equal to how many ml? 1175Manny de la Riva 616,402 Contributions How many ml in 1.75 l?1750 ml Thiscouldbedan 573 Contributions1.75 liters equals how many mls? milli means thousands. move decimal over 3 places. 1750 ml Blue 518,948 Contributions How many ml is 1.75 liters?

Because the conversion factor is only given to four significant figures, we cannot have more figures in the answer, so I would give that as 3,281 feet. This would be precise enough in nearly all cases. Or you could use this calculator: Meters to Feet (m to ft) conversion calculator This gives the result as 3,280.839895 feet. In Australia, we converted to metric a few years after I finished school, so I still think in the old measures. I mentally convert metric measures that I encounter to the old measures to appreciate them. So for metes to feet, multiply by 3 and add 10%. That's often near enough. This would give 3,300 in this example. Also 1 km is close to 5/8 mile.300 metres approx = 1,000 feet.etc.36 Views Related Questions More Answers Below How many feet are there in a meter?" }, { "docid": "D2248007#0", "title": "http://philschatz.com/physics-book/contents/m42091.html\nPhysical Quantities and Units", "text": "\"Physical Quantities and Units The distance from Earth to the Moon may seem immense, but it is just a tiny fraction of the distances from Earth to other celestial bodies. ( credit: NASA)The range of objects and phenomena studied in physics is immense. From the incredibly short lifetime of a nucleus to the age of the Earth, from the tiny sizes of sub-nuclear particles to the vast distance to the edges of the known universe, from the force exerted by a jumping flea to the force between Earth and the Sun, there are enough factors of 10 to challenge the imagination of even the most experienced scientist. Giving numerical values for physical quantities and equations for physical principles allows us to understand nature much more deeply than does qualitative description alone. To comprehend these vast ranges, we must also have accepted units in which to express them. And we shall find that (even in the potentially mundane discussion of meters, kilograms, and seconds) a profound simplicity of nature appears—all physical quantities can be expressed as combinations of only four fundamental physical quantities: length, mass, time, and electric current. We define a physical quantity either by specifying how it is measured or by stating how it is calculated from other measurements. For example, we define distance and time by specifying methods for measuring them, whereas we define average speed by stating that it is calculated as distance traveled divided by time of travel. Measurements of physical quantities are expressed in terms of units, which are standardized values. For example, the length of a race, which is a physical quantity, can be expressed in units of meters (for sprinters) or kilometers (for distance runners)." }, { "docid": "D686240#0", "title": "https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/structge/stress.htm\nStress and Strain: Basic Terms and Concepts", "text": "\"Stress and Strain: Basic Terms and Concepts Steven Dutch, Natural and Applied Sciences, University of Wisconsin - Green Bay First-time Visitors: Please visit Site Map and Disclaimer.

One sabin is the sound absorption of one square foot of a perfectly absorbing surface--such as an open window! The sound absorption of a wall or some other surface is the area of the surface, in square feet, multiplied by a coefficient which depends on the material of the surface and also on the frequency of the sound. These coefficients are carefully measured and tabulated. The unit honors Wallace Sabine (1868-1919), a Harvard University professor who founded the systematic study of acoustics about 1895.

The “cents” part of the money is like the “hundredths” part of decimals – it’s one hundredth of a dollar. That’s because there are a hundred cents in a dollar. So when you buy a new pair of ballet slippers for $49.99, this is a decimal, since there are some numbers after a “period”. Think of a decimal as typically being “in between” regular numbers. You can divide the 49.99 into 40 dollars + 9 dollars + 99 cents. The 4 is in the “tens” field (since ), the 9 is in the “ones” field (since ), and the decimal point represents the start of the fractional part of the number (less than 1). The first 9 after the decimal point represents the “tenths” (since ), and the second 9 represents the “hundredths” (since ). ( With money, the first 9 after the decimal would be the dimes, and the second 9 would be the pennies).

How many digits are there in 8^1000? b. What power of 8 has 1000 digits? c. What number to the 1000th power has 500 digits? The answer to the questions a, b, and c are 904, 8^1107, and +/-sqrt (10) respectively. I had an idea of using log_8 (x) = 1000 = log (x) / log (8).

Electron rest mass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Notice these two values are inconvenient to write in regular decimal notation because there are so many digits to write. When values are very large or very small it is often more manageable to write the numerals using scientific notation. Scientific notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Scientific notation is a representation that uses a decimal number times a power of ten. The decimal value is usually written with one digit, not zero, in front of the decimal point, and when multiplied together with a power of 10, the scientific notation exactly equals the value it represents. This is referred to as the normalized form for scientific notation. Before when we studied scientific notation (Session 13), we only worked with whole numbers. This meant that we allowed more than one non-zero digit and all of the powers of 10 were positive powers. Now we extend that notation to include any decimal fraction." }, { "docid": "D1051427#0", "title": "https://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090405234246AAlAMop\nHow to find antilog of a number like 0.7774 from the antilog table?", "text": "\"Science & Mathematics Mathematics How to find antilog of a number like 0.7774 from the antilog table?

However, systems related to binary numbers have appeared earlier in multiple cultures including ancient Egypt, China, and India. Leibniz was specifically inspired by the Chinese I Ching. Egypt [ edit]See also: Ancient Egyptian mathematics Arithmetic values represented by parts of the Eye of Horus The scribes of ancient Egypt used two different systems for their fractions, Egyptian fractions (not related to the binary number system) and Horus-Eye fractions (so called because many historians of mathematics believe that the symbols used for this system could be arranged to form the eye of Horus, although this has been disputed). [ 1] Horus-Eye fractions are a binary numbering system for fractional quantities of grain, liquids, or other measures, in which a fraction of a hekat is expressed as a sum of the binary fractions 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64. Early forms of this system can be found in documents from the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt, approximately 2400 BC, and its fully developed hieroglyphic form dates to the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, approximately 1200 BC.

It uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols 0 – 9 to represent values zero to nine, and A, B, C, D, E, F (or alternatively a – f) to represent values ten to fifteen. For example, the hexadecimal number 2AF3 is equal, in decimal, to (2 × 16 3) + (10 × 16 2) + (15 × 16 1) + (3 × 16 0) , or 10,995. Each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits ( bits) (also called a \"\" nibble \"\"), and the primary use of hexadecimal notation is as a human-friendly representation of binary coded values in computing and digital electronics. For example, byte values can range from 0 to 255 (decimal) but may be more conveniently represented as two hexadecimal digits in the range 00 through FF. Hexadecimal is also commonly used to represent computer memory addresses . Contents [ show]Representing hexadecimal Template: Hexadecimal table In situations where there is no context, hexadecimal numbers can be ambiguous and confused with numbers expressed in other bases. There are several conventions for expressing values unambiguously. A numerical subscript (itself written in decimal) can give the base explicitly: 159 10 is decimal 159; 159 16 is hexadecimal 159, which is equal to 345 10. Other authors prefer a text subscript, such as 159 decimal and 159 hex, or 159 d and 159 h ." }, { "docid": "D2845082#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101017092001AAxOJK4\nHow do you add a fraction to a decimal ?", "text": "Science & Mathematics Mathematics How do you add a fraction to a decimal ? Cuz i'm in the fourth but take 9th grade math and my teacher or my classmates will tell me so actually i'm confused if you help I will give you $10.00 no lie just help me and don't say that it is impossible cuz it is Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: To add a fraction to a decimal easily, you will have to convert them both into the same form. For example if you wanted to calculate 1/2 + 1.5, you could say 1.5=3/2, so 1/2+3/2 = 4/2 = 2. Or you could say that 1/2 = 0.5, and 0.5 + 1.5 = 2. I hope that answered your question!Daniel · 8 years ago0 0 Comment The best way is to convert the fraction into a decimal. Then add the two decimals together. Here is an example... 7/12 + 0.561 First convert 7/12 to a decimal... 0.583 Now add the two decimals... 0.583 + 0.561 = 1.44 You can go from decimal to fraction but that can be tricky because you have several additional steps... Once you have the fraction you have to simplify it. Then you have to find a common denominator so you can add the two fractions together. I'll demonstrate using our example above... 7/12 + 0.561 Convert the decimal to a fraction 7/12 + 561 / 1000 Find the lowest common denominator between 12 and 1000 3000 Now convert both fractions to the LCD 1750 / 3000 + 1683 / 3000 Add the two fractions 3433 / 3000 You can double check your work by converting it to a decimal. 1.443 As you can see converting to fractions is alot more work and time." }, { "docid": "D3399584#0", "title": "https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-7\nSeventh grade math", "text": "Seventh grade math Here is a list of all of the math skills students learn in seventh grade!

It is a fast, simple action directly supported by the processor, and is used to manipulate values for comparisons and calculations. On simple low-cost processors, typically, bitwise operations are substantially faster than division, several times faster than multiplication, and sometimes significantly faster than addition. While modern processors usually perform addition and multiplication just as fast as bitwise operations due to their longer instruction pipelines and other architectural design choices, bitwise operations do commonly use less power because of the reduced use of resources.

The one that we typically use is called decimal. These number systems refer to the number of symbols used to represent numbers. In the decimal system, we use ten different symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. With these ten symbols, we can represent any quantity. For example, if we see a 2, then we know that there is two of something. For example, this sentence has 2 periods on the end.. When we run out of symbols, we go to the next digit placement. To represent one higher than 9, we use 10 meaning one unit of ten and zero units of one. This may seem elementary, but it is crucial to understand our default number system if you want to understand other number systems. For example, when we consider a binary system which only uses two symbols, 0 and 1, when we run out of symbols, we need to go to the next digit placement." }, { "docid": "D1110420#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time\nDecimal time", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search GMT at page generation24-h time decimal time13:42:42 5h 71m 31 s French decimal clock from the time of the French Revolution. The large dial shows the ten hours of the decimal day in Arabic numerals, while the small dial shows the two 12-hour periods of the standard 24-hour day in Roman numerals. Decimal Time clock reading 2.50 DT equivalent to 6 AM standard time Decimal time is the representation of the time of day using units which are decimally related. This term is often used specifically to refer to French Revolutionary Time, used in France for a few years beginning in 1792 during the French Revolution, which divided the day into 10 decimal hours, each decimal hour into 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds, as opposed to the more familiar UTC Time standard, which divides the day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds. The main advantage of a decimal time system is that, since the base used to divide the time is the same as the one used to represent it, the whole time representation can be handled as a single string. Therefore, it becomes simpler to interpret a timestamp and to perform conversions. For instance, 1:23:00 is 1 decimal hour and 23 decimal minutes, or 1.23 hours, or 123 minutes; 3 hours is 300 minutes or 30,000 seconds. This property also makes it straightforward to represent a timestamp as a fractional day, so that 2018-04-09.534 can be interpreted as five decimal hours and 34 decimal minutes after the start of that day, or 0.534 (53.4%) of a day through that day. It also adjusts well to digital time representation using epochs, in that the internal time representation can be used directly both for computation and for user-facing display.

Although it does not mean that you and the baby are safe from any complications in the coming months, following the guidelines of your ob-gyn can help you have a healthy pregnancy from this stage. Pregnancy week 10: fetal development Sensory Organ Development Development of the eyes continues with the main optical structure already being in place [2]. The external ears have completed their growth while the internal ear is almost done growing as well. Both the eyes and ears start developing at the sides of the head, later moving to the right place. Facial Development The forehead starts bulging up at this stage, sitting high on the head while the hair follicles begin to grow as well. The fetal head will soon appear normal as the forehead gradually flattens [3]. Limb Development The thin hands and legs continue to grow longer while the fingers and toes start to grow nails and unique finger prints [4]. The bones and cartilages also keep growing during the 10th week [5]. Week 10 Pregnancy Nervous System Development The outline of the spine becomes clearly visible at this stage with the spinal nerves stretching out from it [3]. Internal Organ Development The vital organs of your baby, including the brain, liver and kidneys begin to function on their own while continuing their growth at the same time [1]. The intestines are already hollow tubes with muscles that help them move and tighten [4], helping your baby to practice swallowing. This is also the week when the diaphragm begins to develop, gradually separating the chest and abdomen. The sex organs also grow rapidly and you will soon be able to know whether to paint the nursery blue or pink [6].10 weeks pregnancy baby size The fetus that was the size of a green olive is now a big as a lime with his crown to rump measurement being around 1.2 inches [3] (3.1 cm). He has also started gaining weight, currently weighing about 0.14 ounces (4g) [5]. Body changes during week 10 of pregnancy Your growing uterus and increasing blood volume continue to lead to certain pregnancy pains and other symptoms. The high pregnancy hormone (HCG and progesterone) levels make your complexion smoother and shinier, giving you the well-known “pregnancy glow” by increasing the number of facial oil glands [7]. The growing milk-producing glands may also lead to fuller breasts [7]. What does 10 weeks pregnant look like? Although you might notice your belly expanding quite a bit in the past few weeks, it is still too early for others to start noticing your baby bump [8]. However, there is nothing to worry about if you do not start showing at all at this stage, especially if this is your first pregnancy [9].10 weeks pregnant ultrasound An ultrasound scan performed this week shows the head to comprise about half the length of your baby [10] with some fuzzy hair growth [11].10 Weeks Pregnant Ultrasound Picture The translucent or see-through skin allows you to see the functioning of the inner organs on a 4D ultrasound [10]. This is usually the week when the parents hear their child’s heartbeat for the first time, which is often described as being similar to the sound of galloping horses [12]. Prenatal testing during pregnancy week 10Your doctor may ask you to take certain genetic tests at this stage to detect any hereditary or congenital disorders like Down syndrome [13]. All these tests are non-invasive, meaning only a few blood samples are collected from you to examine your baby’s DNA." } ]

While miscarriage is fairly common, it's a process that can be painful for the mother, both physically and emotionally. The following are 10 things that are important to know if you are having symptoms of a miscarriage or have been recently diagnosed with a miscarriage.1 Pregnancy Bleeding Does Not Always Mean Miscarriage Stockbyte/Getty Images Miscarriages can be devastating regardless of the cause or when they occur during the pregnancy. Beyond abdominal cramping and passing tissues (the placenta and the gestational sac) through the vagina, one of the most common symptoms of miscarriage is vaginal bleeding. That said, bleeding in early pregnancy does not always mean miscarriage. The only way to know for sure if your bleeding is from a miscarriage is through an evaluation with your doctor. If your doctor determines you are indeed experiencing a miscarriage, it's important to roughly measure how much you're bleeding. If the blood is soaking through two maxi pads per hour for two consecutive hours, call your doctor right away. This may be a sign that you are hemorrhaging, and you may need a procedure called a dilation and curettage ( D&C ) to stop the bleeding. If you are not bleeding that heavily but are concerned that your bleeding seems to be persisting for too long—like if you have had heavy bleeding for more than two or three days—it is a good idea to see your doctor to rule out complications.2 Miscarriage Diagnosis May Take up to a Week Sometimes doctors can diagnose a miscarriage before the symptoms actually begin." }, { "docid": "D1584205#0", "title": "http://www.glowm.com/section_view/heading/Endocrine%20Diseases%20in%20Pregnancy/item/168\nEndocrine Diseases in Pregnancy", "text": "INTRODUCTIONPregnancy is a unique clinical scenario in which several endocrine disorders may be more frequent and/or have specific considerations for diagnosis and treatment. In this review, anterior pituitary insufficiency, adrenal, parathyroid, and thyroid disorders of pregnancy are discussed. ANTERIOR PITUITARY INSUFFICIENCYAnterior pituitary insufficiency is an uncommon disease. The etiology includes destruction of the anterior pituitary gland by tumors, infarction (postpartum necrosis or Sheehan's syndrome), idiopathic disease (Simmonds' disease), surgery, and radiotherapy to the pituitary gland. There have also been reports of pituitary necrosis in patients with elevated intracerebral pressure. 1 Disease of the hypothalamus affecting the secretion of releasing hormones may produce a similar clinical picture; some cases of Sheehan's syndrome and idiopathic hypopituitarism are due to hypothalamic diseases. 2 Finally, congenital hypopituitarism is a rare diagnosis among newborn infants. 3Sheehan’s syndrome The most common cause of panhypopituitarism in women of childbearing age is postpartum necrosis, or Sheehan's syndrome. 4The pathogenesis is not clear, although Sheehan in his original description did associate it with severe postpartum hemorrhage. 5 Although the classic clinical etiology of Sheehan's syndrome in about 90% of patients is severe bleeding of the anterior pituitary during delivery or immediately postpartum, no catastrophic event can be detected in more than 10% of patients." }, { "docid": "D437339#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/early-pregnancy-discharge-vs-pms-discharge\nTop 20 Doctor insights on: Early Pregnancy Discharge Vs Pms Discharge", "text": "Top 20 Doctor insights on: Early Pregnancy Discharge Vs Pms Discharge Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Heidi Fowler1 doctor agreed:1 Thick clumpy milky discharge early pregnancy or pms?

A slightly higher than normal basal body temperature (not a fever) may occur in a small percentage of women but for it to be attributed to pregnancy a doctor would look for the temperature to be elevated consistently for more than two weeks. Any prolonged fever should be investigated by a doctor as it may be a sign of infection. In your case, if you have conceived it would have only been within the past week or two and highly unlikely your body would be exhibiting any secondary symptoms of pregnancy just yet. Many early pregnancy symptoms closely mimic PMS and it is unreliable to try and diagnose a pregnancy before a missed period based on symptoms alone.

Conception therefore occurs after ovulation. A few days later, the fertilized egg that has travelled to the uterus is implanted in its lining and a placenta is formed. This process results in the production of human chorionic gonadotropin (h CG), a substance commonly known as the pregnancy hormone because it is responsible for many of the signs and symptoms associated with pregnancy. Depending on the number of days that have passed since ovulation and fertilization, different signs and symptoms of conception will be experienced. These early symptoms may vary for each woman and pregnancy. Moreover, some women are more sensitive to these changes and after the first or second pregnancy they may immediately be able to tell if they are pregnant again. Some women experience mild symptoms, while others may have experience more discomfort. Typical timing of the signs and symptoms of conception may also vary, so while some experience them as early as a few days post-ovulation (dpo), others may notice them a few weeks later. Common Signs of Conception and When They Occur The best way to determine if a woman is pregnant is a pregnancy test, which may be either a blood or urine test for h CG." } ]

Typical costs: Soft woods such as pine run about $3-$6 a square foot for the boards; adding nails/staples, baseboards/trim and other supplies, materials can be $1,300-$2,500 for DIY installation of a 400-square-foot family room. Do-it-yourself installation requires at least intermediate-level carpentry skills. The Family Handyman magazine provides instructions and estimates it costs $5 a square foot and requires two weekends per room. Professional installation adds another $3-$5 or more a square foot, making total installed costs (materials and labor) about $2,400-$4,400 for a 400-square-foot room. Hardwood flooring like oak, American cherry or teak runs $5-$10 a square foot or $2,000-$4,000 in materials for a 400-square-foot room. Professional installation adds another $4-$8 or more per square foot, making it around $3,700-$7,800 for labor and materials. Less expensive wood may have more knots, color variations and other natural imperfections. Depending on the species, more expensive wood should be more consistent in color. A North Carolina homeowner [ 1] paid $9 a square foot to have a prefinished wood floor installed, while California homeowners paid $20,000 for 1,400 square feet (about $14.30 a square foot) of white oak solid plank flooring in varying widths of 4-, 6- and 8-inches with high-quality on-site finishing." }, { "docid": "D2934610#0", "title": "http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2696975/cost-of-removing-vinyl-flooring-and-subfloor\n$$$???

This involves sanding down the surface past any finish or blemishes and then re-applying color treatments and seal. The finished product will look like a completely new hardwood floor and can be achieved for a fraction of the price of a new installation. Average Price to Refinish Hardwood Floors$1.50 per sq ft - $5.00 per sqft Average Price for New Hardwood Flooring Materials Starts at $8.00 per sq ft and goes up from there. The price of a refinishing project is determined by the materials, the equipment used, and the number of hours of labor that it takes to perform the job. In general, for a basic refinishing job, it will take a contractor about 4-5 hours per 100 square feet of space.

You’ve also heard the old saying, “In Like a Lion and Out Like a Lamb,” or vice versa, and although that saying has nothing to do with health care reform, the ongoing updates to ACA legislation can leave one feeling like they’re trying to wrestle an on-again off-again lion, similar to the unpredictable turbulence we can experience with weather in spring time! Never the less, wrestle we must and today’s wrestling match features reporting for the Individual Mandate and Employer Shared Responsibility focusing on Forms 1094 & 1095. ACA added Section 6055 to the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”). This is where the Code says every provider of minimum essential coverage will report coverage information to the IRS by filing an information return and furnishing a statement to participating individuals. This information is then used by the IRS to administer, and individuals to show compliance with, the Individual Mandate. ACA also added section 6056 to the Code, which requires applicable large employers to file information returns with the IRS and provide statements to their full-time employees about the health insurance coverage the employer offered. This information is used by the IRS in determining whether employers owe a fee for not providing the mandated coverage (Shared Responsibility) and whether or not individuals are entitled to a subsidy if they purchase coverage through one of the Insurance Exchanges. In very simple terms, the individual mandate is the part of the law that says all individuals are required to have minimum essential health coverage. This is similar to the way cars on our streets are required to have a certain amount of insurance (at least in most states)." } ]

Only 23,000 Alaskans enrolled in its nongroup market for 2016. Alaska also has very high health care costs. For these reasons, marketplace insurance coverage costs far more in Alaska than anywhere else. The average monthly premiums in the marketplace in Alaska in 2016 was $863, compared to $396 nationally. Marketplace premiums (for a 40-year old non-smoker for the second-lowest cost silver plan) increased 31.4 percent in 2016 and 26.3 percent in 2015, compared to national rate increases of 10.1 percent (2016) and 2 percent (2015). Even with these increases, Alaska’s insurers lost millions of dollars. Moda, one of the two insurers in the Alaska market, has announced that it will be leaving the market for 2017. Of course, premiums and premium increases are much lower for the 86 percent of enrollees who receive premium tax credits, for whom premiums are reduced on average by 85 percent to an average of $126.

If you have a plan from the Health Insurance Marketplace, the Marketplace will provide Form 1095-A to you and the IRS with information about your coverage and premium tax credits.

Yet like it or hate it, taxpayers will get their first exposure to Obamacare's impact on their tax returns during the coming tax season. Many people are concerned that the form they'll need to prepare to prove that they're entitled to any subsidies they received for their Obamacare premiums will prove to be a big headache for taxpayers.

What happens if I don’t make my premium payment by the end of the grace period? Louise Norris Individual health insurance and health reform authority; broker January 4, 2018Q. What happens if I don’t make my premium payment by the end of the grace period?? A: If you fail to pay your premiums and exhaust the grace period for plans offered in a health insurance marketplace, you will lose your insurance coverage. The grace period is either one month or three months long, depending on whether or not you’re receiving subsidies and whether or not you’ve paid at least one premium so far during the year. The three month grace period applies to those who receive federal subsidy assistance in the form of an advanced premium tax credit and who have paid at least one full month’s premium within the benefit year. For those without a subsidy the grace period is one month (the one-month grace period also applies to plans purchased outside the exchange, since none of those plans qualify for subsidies). For enrollees who are not receiving subsidies, if payment is not made prior to the end of the one-month grace period, coverage will be retroactively terminated to the end of the month for which premium was last paid. For enrollees who are receiving subsidies (and who have paid at least one month’s premium), if their premiums go past three months overdue, the coverage will be terminated retroactive to the end of the first month of the grace period. So if a subsidized enrollee pays the January premium but then doesn’t pay February, March or April, the coverage would then be terminated as of the end of February." }, { "docid": "D2352937#0", "title": "http://thismatter.com/money/tax/tax-credits/premium-tax-credit.htm\nHealth Insurance Premium Tax Credit", "text": "Health Insurance Premium Tax Credit2018-01-12 Calamities happen by chance. Insurance is designed to mitigate the risk of economic loss from calamities by having a group of people, the insured, paying premiums to pay for economic losses suffered by the few among the group. However, if only the people at high risk for the calamity pays into the insurance fund, then it will be much more expensive. On the other hand, insurance companies want to make a profit. Therefore, they will attempt to eliminate high risk customers — the people who would need the insurance the most — from their insured pool. Since healthcare costs are extremely high, most people without insurance would be unable to afford the cost of healthcare, forcing those in need to declare bankruptcy or to simply not pay their bill. In many cases, the government has to step in to pay the healthcare providers for the services that they provided. Thus, without government intervention, health insurance will not work for society. Those at low risk will not want to pay the high premiums, and those at high risk cannot afford the premiums. The Affordable Care Act ( ACA) was designed to rectify this fundamental flaw in health insurance by forcing everyone to pay into the system, which is referred to as the individual mandate, or pay a penalty." }, { "docid": "D2199698#0", "title": "http://knolltax.com/form-1095b-info.php\nForm 1095-B Information", "text": "How the Affordable Care Act will Affect Individuals and their Tax Return NEW FORM 1095-B INFORMATION REPORTING FOR THE ACA: THE TOP 5 THINGS HEALTH INSURERS AND SELF-INSURED PLAN SPONSORS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE NEW FORM 1095-B REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ARE:1.

This comes as a bit of a surprise to many who assumed that HRAs integrated with a major medical plan, regardless of funding method, would be considered “supplemental coverage” and not require any reporting. This guidance affects reporting requirements for both small employers and applicable large employers offering HRAs integrated with a fully-insured medical plan. Background Beginning in 2016, the ACA requires employers and insurance companies to report certain plan and coverage information to the IRS on Forms 1095 and 1094. Section 6055 of the Code requires reporting of coverage-related information for individuals enrolled in a minimum essential coverage plan. This portion of the reporting will be completed either on Part III of Form 1095-C, or in some cases, with an alternative Form 1095-B. For fully-insured coverage, the 6055 reporting will be handled by the insurance carrier, but for self-funded coverage, this portion of the reporting is the responsibility of the plan sponsor (typically the employer). More information on the 6055 reporting requirements are contained in the IRS FAQ, which can be found here. Note that applicable large employers are also responsible for the 6056 reporting on offer of coverage information. Employers use different sections and types of Form 1095 to report both Section 6055 and 6056 information depending on the requirements that apply to that particular employer.

The penalty for not having coverage will be paid on your Federal Income Tax Returns for each full month you, or a family member doesn’t have health insurance or an exemption and is based on your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI). The fee went up each year from 2014 – 2016 making it more important to look into coverage and exemptions options each year. Depending on your coverage, income, and family size, you will either pay a flat dollar amount or a percentage of income above the tax return filing threshold for your filing status.

Methods A total of 384 pregnancies after embryo transfer were included. Inviable pregnancies were defined as biochemical pregnancies, ectopic pregnancies and first trimester abortions. Ongoing pregnancies were defined as singleton pregnancies and multiple pregnancies whose gestation were achieved more than 12 weeks. Serum 2-h CG concentrations were compared among different groups. Results On the post embryo transfer d 11, the mean 2-h CG concentration of the ongoing pregnancy group (323.7±285.2 m IU/ml) was significantly higher than that of the inviable pregnancy group (81.4±68.1 mm IU /ml) (P < 0.001). In multiple gestations, the levels of 2-h CG were significantly higher compared with singleton pregnancies. If the 2-h CG level was between 10 m IU/ml and 50 m IU/ml, the positive predictive value of biochemical pregnancies and ectopic pregnancies was 81.8%, the negative predictive value was 94.4%. If the level was less than 100 m IU/ml, the positive predictive value of first trimester abortions was 80.8%, the negative predictive value was 77.8%. If the level was greater than 250 m IU/ml, the positive predictive value of multiple pregnancies was 83.3%, the negative predictive value was 74.4%." } ]

Like many other pregnancy failures, it’s a clunky name that doesn’t quite make sense (see blighted ovum – the most ineptly named miscarriage ever). So here are 10 important things you should know about a chemical pregnancy, as collated from reliable online medical sources.1. A chemical pregnancy is an early miscarriage. So early, in fact, that you may not know you had one. Or indeed that you were pregnant at all. A chemical pregnancy usually occurs when you’re five or six weeks pregnant – i.e. before you’ve had an ultrasound scan.2. It’s called a chemical pregnancy because, however short-lived the pregnancy, your body produced a ‘chemical’ (i.e. a hormone) called HCG. You may have done a home pregnancy test and got a positive result. That’s the HCG telling your body implantation happened.3." }, { "docid": "D2530228#0", "title": "http://www.victoriafertility.com/our-services/in-vitro-fertilization/\nIn-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)", "text": "\"In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)In-Vitro Fertilization, or IVF, is a process designed to help women achieve pregnancy.

Originally, IVF was designed to help women with tubal disease, but today IVF is able to help couples with many different problems achieve a healthy pregnancy. Before explaining IVF it is important to have a basic understanding of the female menstrual cycle. The Normal Menstrual Cycle Women are born with a finite number of eggs. The ovaries are not like the testes in men. The testes are like sperm factories that continue to make fresh sperm all the time. The ovaries are more like “banks” of eggs.

Not surprisingly, the start of your menstrual cycle will trigger the start of your IVF cycle as your body gears up for its natural ovulation process. Depending on what was diagnosed and/or decided at your fertility treatment consultation, you may take birth control pills for a while to control the timing of the cycle more precisely and to prevent the growth of cysts, which can also affect ovulation.

METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of all viable pregnancies achieved through IVF at two centres between January 1999 and March 2004. RESULTS: Of the 455 pregnancies resulting in live births, 391 met inclusion criteria and contributed a total of 1052 HCG values. Using random effects models, the best pattern to describe the rise of log HCG was quadratic with the rate of increase slowing at 24 days post-oocyte retrieval. Limiting the analysis to measurements below the discriminatory zone, the linear model adequately characterized the profile. The average slope was 0.403, yielding a predicted increase of 1.50 (50% increase) in 1 day and 2.24 (124%) in 2 days. In the final model, absolute HCG values, but not rate of rise, were significantly higher for twins and triplets and significantly lower for patients with BMI >30 kg/m 2. CONCLUSIONS: The HCG profile of viable pregnancies conceived with IVF is quadratic with an earlier plateau than has been reported for non-IVF pregnancies. The average rate of rise is comparable to previous estimates in symptomatic spontaneous conceptions.body mass index, HCG rise, IVF, multiple pregnancies, viable pregnancies Topic:pregnancy body mass index procedure chorionic gonadotropin fertilization in vitro triplets twins live birth Issue Section: Early pregnancy Introduction Serial measurements of serum HCG in early gestations represent an invaluable aid in the differentiation of normal and abnormal pregnancies.

It may seem larger because your abdominal muscles are a bit weaker. At 11 weeks, your fetus is about the size of a lime (fitting in the palm of your hand), so the uterus is probably not too much bigger. Right now, it should just be peaking up over your pelvic bone, but you may be showing a bit more because it is not your first pregnancy. Your uterus won't reach your navel until about 20 weeks." } ]

That is true to a degree, although it depends on a variety of factors, such as your weight and body type at the time of conception and the baby’s position in your uterus. On average, pregnant women begin showing during the second trimester, around 12 to 16 weeks. Normally, your uterus is the size of a lemon. By weeks 14 to 17 of your pregnancy, it’s about the size of a small melon and has risen above the pelvic cavity, making it visible above your waistline. At this point, you’ll probably need to shop for maternity clothes if you haven’t done so already. Early in pregnancy, some women have a “come-and-go” belly. Your belly may feel expanded one day and the next day, after you’ve had a bowel movement, it disappears. This full belly-flat belly phenomenon, while a little unsettling, is normal.

At that point, unless there is a problem, all babies grow at the same rate, which is why it's the best judge of your baby's age. Later on in pregnancy, a number of different things can cause variations in a baby's size, so it's not really possible to judge age by ultrasound.

Sometimes this date is changed during the course of your pregnancy, but mostly it stays the same and is looked forward to with great anticipation. The reality is however that only five per cent of babies arrive on the day they are expected. Ideally you should allow two weeks either side of your due date. Giving birth anywhere between 37 to 42 weeks is considered normal. There is evidence to suggest that the current methods of estimating the due date may in fact not be as accurate as we think. One study found first time mothers gave birth on average 5 days over their due date and second time mothers gave birth on average 2 days after their due date. Most studies I reviewed suggested that first time mothers had longer pregnancies than women who had a baby before. Around 10 per cent of pregnancies do go beyond 42 weeks.

This was the question on my mind during the later stages on my pregnancy in the spring of 2010. I heard a lot of conflicting information about what a \"\"due date\"\" meant and when babies were born. Some people saw the \"\"due date\"\" like a deadline... if the baby hasn't arrived yet, it's late, it's time to freak out. Some people said due dates were a bad example of western intervention, used by doctors as an excuse to cut us all open. Some people said that first time moms should expect to go late, it's normal and you should chill out. I found some scattered statistics about what week babies came... and a lot of those graphs just said \"\"X% were born at 40 weeks\"\" but didn't explain what that meant (during the 40th week of pregnancy? 40 weeks accomplished? On day 280?).

You are probably already in maternity clothes with people wishing you the best, and some even wanting to touch your belly to feel your baby, wherever you go. The second trimester is the best time of being pregnant with a relatively higher energy level and fewer unpleasant symptoms. Fetal development this week Internal organ development With all the major organ developed and in place, your baby is now poised to grow in size and gain weight. He is swallowing larger amounts of amniotic fluid this week as the digestive system gets a better workout [1]. The meconium production (the dark sticky substance that will be your baby’s first bowel movement) continues from the previous weeks as a result of the digestive function [2]. Baby Development Pregnancy Week 20Sensory organ development The small bones in the inner ear are now properly developed while the characteristic external structures of the nose begin to form [3]. The eyelids that have been fused shut for the past weeks may begin to open this week in some babies [4]. Your baby also has working taste buds at this stage [5]. External appearance Vernix caseosa, the waxy white substance produced by the fetal sebaceous glands [6] to protect him from the amniotic fluid, is now covering your baby’s entire body [7]. The transparent skin also starts forming fat layers underneath it, making him look less skinny [8]. He also starts growing scalp hair this week that will be present at birth. But, this hair will fall out within a couple of weeks after your baby is born before the lighter, permanent hair can begin to grow [3]. How big is your baby this week? He is now almost as big as a banana, weighing around 10.2 oz (289.17 gm) [9]. His crown to rump length is about 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) while he is approximately 10 inches (25.4 cm) long from head to heel [10]. The fetus’ legs remain curled up in front of his body until the 19th week, making it impossible to measure his length from head to feet. However, they begin to straighten up from the 20th week onward, enabling your health care provider to measure his actual height. Pregnancy week 20: Your belly and body changes Your body is undergoing many changes apart from the obvious – the growing baby bump; and you must also feel these changes with every passing day. Your changing center of gravity due to the growing belly and the considerable weight gain are the most evident ones [11]. Your uterus is now three times as big as its original size with the top of it now being at the same level with your bellybutton [12]. It will be growing about 1 cm every week until delivery [3]. Your baby is growing inside the uterus as those kicks and punches start to feel more like real fetal movements rather than the quickening in the earlier weeks.20 weeks pregnant ultrasound scan You will have your mid-pregnancy ultrasound around this week (if it has not been done last week) as it is usually performed between the 18th and 20th weeks [13]. Known as an anomaly scan, it is performed for evaluating the fetal growth, screening for certain birth defects (like neural tube defects and Down’s syndrome) and confirming your due date [3]. The ultrasound also allows your doctor to observe the baby’s limbs, fingers and toes for any abnormality, while assessing the umbilical cord, placenta and amniotic fluid to make sure that the baby is getting everything necessary for proper growth [13]. You can also see the straightening spine [11] in addition to finding out the gender of your baby [14].20 Weeks Pregnant Ultrasound Picture Twin pregnancy week 20 ultrasound In a twin pregnancy, two babies are generally scanned separately to screen for any physical or other abnormalities." }, { "docid": "D1369016#0", "title": "https://www.rockthebabybump.com/how-far-along-am-i/\nHow Far Along Am I In My Pregnancy Based On Due Date (Pregnancy Calculator)", "text": "How Far Along Am I In My Pregnancy Based On Due Date (Pregnancy Calculator)How Far Along Am I? – A common question, all mommies may be asking.

If, while under oath, you attest as being true to any essential fact that you know is false, you commit perjury. California law pursuant to Penal Code Sections 118 through 131 outlines the various ways you can be found guilty of committing this serious crime. You can commit perjury in or out of a courtroom, either orally or in writing. This applies whether you lie or you invite, persuade or coerce someone else to lie under oath – what is known as suborning perjury. If you lie under oath, you could be charged with perjury. It is also unlawful for a law enforcement officer to commit perjury. Furthermore, perjury which leads to an innocent person’s execution may be punished as a capital offense. You can be punished for committing perjury by being sent to jail or being placed on probation. A perjury conviction will damage your credibility and may lead to other serious and potentially long-term consequences." }, { "docid": "D2663447#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverside,_Umatilla_County,_Oregon\nRiverside, Umatilla County, Oregon", "text": "\"For other places named Riverside in Oregon, see Riverside, Oregon (disambiguation).

USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) has estimated average costs for 156 fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, using 2013 retail scanner data from Information Resources, Inc. (IRI). A selection of retail establishments across the United States provides IRI with weekly retail sales data (revenue and quantity). These retail establishments include grocery stores, supermarkets, supercenters, convenience stores, drug stores, and liquor stores. ERS estimated the average retail price of each product on a per-pound basis (or per-pint basis for juices). In order to estimate the cost of consuming each food, ERS researchers further adjusted retail quantities to account for removing inedible parts and for cooking loss which occur prior to consumption. Costs to consume foods were then estimated per edible cup equivalent as defined in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. ERS assumes sole responsibility for its assumptions and calculations using the IRI data. The rising prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has prompted various strategies to improve children's diet quality. ERS has examined the effect of replacing one energy-dense snack a day with a fruit or vegetable to determine the likely impact on both households' food budgets and children's caloric intakes, using
