Gene therapy is when DNA is introduced into a patient to treat a genetic disease. The new DNA usually contains a functioning gene to correct the effects of a disease-causing mutation. Gene therapy uses sections of The DNA is carefully selected to correct the effect of a mutated gene that is causing disease. The technique was first developed in 1972 but has, so far, had limited success in treating human diseases. Gene therapy may be a promising treatment option for some genetic diseases?, including muscular dystrophy? and cystic fibrosis?. There are two different types of gene therapy depending on which types of cells are treated: Somatic gene therapy: transfer of a section of DNA to any cell of the body that doesn’t produce sperm or eggs.

Plasmids are small, circular or linear pieces of DNA containing non-essential genes that are found in all life, although much more common in prokaryotes, especially bacteria. These genes confer abilities such as metabolizing a previously unusable compound, building an amino acid previously unbuildable, or even antibiotic resistance. Plasmids are used in research to induce the expression of a gene usually not found in the given organism. For example, you can construct a plasmid with a bacterial promoter connected to the gene for a human protein through a process called 'cloning'. The plasmid with the human gene can then be introduced into bacteria by transforming a competent gram-negative with the plasmid. Usually the plasmid also has an antibiotic resistance gene in addition to the target gene.

One of the basic patterns of inheritance of our genes is called autosomal recessive inheritance. What is autosomal recessive inheritance? Autosomal recessive inheritance means that the gene is located on one of the autosomes (chromosome pairs 1 through 22). This means that males and females are equally affected. \"\" Recessive\"\" means that two copies of the gene are necessary to have the trait, one inherited from the mother, and one from the father.

Most people do not know they carry a recessive gene for a disease until they have a child with the disease. Once parents have had a child with a recessive trait or disease, there is a one out of four, or 25 percent chance, with each subsequent pregnancy, for another child to be born with the same trait or disorder. This means that there is a three out of four, or 75 percent chance, for another child to not have the trait or disease: The birth of a child with a recessive condition is often a total surprise to a family, since in most cases, there is no previous family history of a recessive condition." }, { "docid": "D972921#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_many_alleles_does_a_gene_have\nHow many alleles does a gene have?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Genetics How many alleles does a gene have?

The estimated 25,000 genes in the human genome include an enormous amount of DNA that does not code for RNA or protein. This DNA is elaborately organized. Not only is the DNA associated with protein, but also this DNA-protein complex called chromatin is organized into higher structural levels than the DNA-protein complex in prokaryotes. Concept 19.1 Chromatin structure is based on successive levels of DNA packing While the single circular chromosome of bacteria is coiled and looped in a complex but orderly manner, eukaryotic chromatin is far more complex.

A syndrome is a disease or disorder that has more than one feature or symptom. The major symptoms of Usher syndrome are hearing loss and an eye disorder called retinitis pigmentosa, or RP. Retinitis pigmentosa causes night-blindness and a loss of peripheral vision (side vision) through the progressive degeneration of the retina. The retina is a light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye and is crucial for vision. As retinitis pigmentosa progresses, the field of vision narrows, a condition known as “tunnel vision,” until only central vision (the ability to see straight ahead) remains.

Share Email Print Feedback Background The location of the base of tongue malignancy is critical in the diagnosis, management, and prognosis. The base of tongue is the site for the posterior opening of the oral cavity, the entrance of the pharynx and esophagus, and the inferior aspect of the nasopharynx . The surgical management of malignant neoplasms of the tongue base remains difficult despite recent advances in diagnostic techniques. Many patients present at an older age with advanced disease because of the occult nature of associated symptoms. The disease process and treatment often affect adjacent structures, such as the posterior floor of the mouth, larynx, and esophagus. Careful multidisciplinary assessment and treatment selection based on the probability of cure and preservation of function are of paramount importance in the treatment of these patients. High recurrence rates, poor survival, and significant alterations in speech and swallowing function are common experiences for patients with malignancies in these anatomic sites. Despite these frustrations, patients are potentially curable and should be offered regimens that carefully consider morbidity and outcome within the context of the patient's overall medical condition. Etiology Chronic alcohol and prolonged tobacco use, older age, geographic location, and family history are important risk factors for development of base of the tongue carcinoma. Environmental exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, asbestos, and welding fumes may increase the risk of pharyngeal cancer." }, { "docid": "D1079170#0", "title": "http://www.mypetsdentist.com/pet-oral-tumors.pml\nAnimal Dentistry & Oral Surgery Specialists LLC", "text": "\"Oral tumors in cats and dogs It is natural to be very worried and freightened when a mass is identified in your companion animal's mouth, or on the face.

Mastoidectomy Definition Mastoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove an infected portion of the bone behind the earwhen medical treatment is not effective. This surgery is rarely needed today because of thewidespread use of antibiotics. Purpose Mastoidectomy is performed to remove infected air cells within the mastoid bone caused by mastoiditis, ear infection, or an inflammatory disease of the middle ear (cholesteatoma). Thecells are open spaces containing air that are located throughout the mastoid bone. They areconnected to a cavity in the upper part of the bone, which is in turn connected to the middle ear. As a result, infections in the middle ear can sometimes spread through the mastoid bone. Whenantibiotics cannot clear this infection, it may be necessary to remove the infected air cells by surgery. Mastoidectomies are also performed sometimes to repair paralyzed facial nerves." }, { "docid": "D3361554#0", "title": "https://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/med-term-ch-6/deck/13808119\n.", "text": "surface elevations of the tongue that perceive taste are calledpapillaebile is produced in theliverthe strucutre that lies beneath the hard enamel surface of the tooth is called thedentinthe liver, gallbladeer, and pancreas play a vital role indigestion and absorption of nutrientswhat is an important function of the livermaintains glucose levels in the bloodwhat section of the large intestine is associated with the appendixcecumwhat section of the large intestine is associated with the liverwhich structure has respiratory and digestive functionsthe lower esophagal sphincter is also known as thefingerlike projections in the small intestine that absorb nutrients into the bloodstream are calledwhich is an accessory organ of digestionthe progressive, wavelike movement that occurs involuntraily in hollow tubes of the body ismucosal folds in the stomach wall are calledblood proteins, such as prothrombin, are produced by thewhen bile is needed for digestion, the gallbladder releases it into the duodenum through theproct/o meanscholecyst/o meanscholedoch/ocol/o and colon/oor/o and stomat/oodont/ocholangi/ochol/e-emesis-prandial-pepsia-orexia-rrheadia-peri-does the term congenital hernia meanwhen the blood supply to a herniated structure is cut off, the hernia is said to bean ulcer that produces a hole in the stomach wall is known as what kind of ulcergeneral lack of nutrition and wasting occurring in the couse of a chronic disease is calledwhich term means foul-smelling breaththe word eupepsia refers toirritable bowel syndrome is also known asdifficult or painful swallowing is calledwhat is the disorder that causes telescoping of the intestinedownward displacement of internal organs is calledprotrusion of an organ through the wall that normally contains it is calledwhat is a life-threatening obstruction in which the bowel twists on itselfa gastric ulcer is known asloss of appetite is also calledan accumulation of serous fluid in teh abdominal cavity is calleda condition of stones in the common bile duct is calledchronic inflammatino of the intestinal tract is calledblack tarry stool is calledjaundice is caused by excessive levels ofwhich is a term that means stricture or narrowing of the rectumcrohn disease is a bowel disorder that is also known asacute gastritis or peptic ulcer may causewhich of the following diseases is transmitted by infected bloodbleeding gum is primary symptom ofinflammation of the lips is calledsurgical connection of two tubular structures is calledwhat is the term for a group of procedures used to treat morbid obesitysuture of the second portion of the small intestine is known aswhat is the term for the diagnostic procedure to examine the rectum and the anal canalwhat instrument is used to perform a lower GI endoscopystructural abnormalities of the esophagus may be diagnosed by endoscopy of thewhat is an imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves to produce an image of the liver, gallbladder, or pancreaswhich instrument is used to perform a gastroscopythe procedure that takes radiographic images of the gallbladder after administration of a contrast medium is calledwhich of the following specialists is correctly matched with the procedures they performan imaging technique that uses a contrast medium to reveal gallstones or other obstruction in the bile ducts is calledwhich test identifies microorganisms or parasites present in fecesgastroplasty is a type of surgery to treatwhich test detects the presence of occult blood in fecesthe endoscopic examination of the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine is calledwhich blood test is used to confirm the specific virus causing hepatitiswhich endoscopic procedure is used to determine the presence of polyps in the colonwhich laboratory test is used to establish cirrhosis associated with heavy alcohol usewhich physician specializes in treatment of the gumswhich medical specialty is concerned with digestive disorderswhich nonivasive procedure uses shock waves to break up stones in the biliary ductsbackflow of gastric contents into the esophagus is abbreviated aswhich abbreviation means pertaining to the stomach and intestinemetamucil is used to treatantiemetics are prescribed tothe route of nutrition or medication adminisered through a tube inserted through the nose and into the stomach is charted aswhich medication is administered to control nausea and vomitingwhich medication is administered to control heartburn and acid refluxa series of radiographic images of the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine is abbreviated asan mri that visualizes the biliary and pancreatic ducts and gallbladder is abbreviated asthe blood test that evaluates liver injury and function is abbreviated as Steatorrhea is another term for fatty stools.

A thorough inspection of the oral cavity should be a part of any complete head and neck examination. Approximately 10% of patients who are examined will have some abnormality of the oral mucosa. Biopsy is often the definitive procedure that provides tissue for microscopic analysis when additional information is required to guide any indicated therapy. [ 1, 2]The development of a reasonable differential diagnosis is of prime importance in determining if biopsy is indicated. Furthermore, the differential diagnosis aids the clinician in selecting the appropriate technique if biopsy is necessary. A waiting period of 2 weeks often helps in forming the differential diagnosis; lesions that are related to infection, inflammation, or local trauma may resolve during this time. Biopsy is strongly recommended for the evaluation of most lesions that persist for 2 weeks or longer after the potential irritants are removed. Conventional cytologic examination of the oral cavity is associated with an unacceptably high false-negative rate. However, for clinicians who are uncomfortable with intraoral surgery, brush biopsy with sampling of the full thickness of the mucosa may provide reliable information regarding the presence of cellular atypia." }, { "docid": "D3215861#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/3675704/medical-terminology-tests-1-14-flash-cards/\nMedical Terminology Tests 1-14", "text": "313 terms irishmeg701Medical Terminology Tests 1-14Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Acute suppurative sialadenitis presents as rapid-onset pain and swelling and is treated with antibiotics, salivary massage, hydration, and sialagogues such as lemon drops or vitamin C lozenges. Viral etiologies include mumps and human immunodeficiency virus, and treatment is directed at the underlying disease.

So far as the dental area is concerned, frenectomy is either performed inside the middle of upper lip , which is called labial frenectomy, or under the tongue, called lingual frenectomy. Frenectomy as it is a very common dental procedure in dental world and is performed both on children and adults. Labial frenectomy is very common with patients undergoing denture treatment in order to get the proper fit of dentures or patients who have tissues attached to centre of upper lip and causing recession of gums or gap between the upper front teeth called central incisors. In the case of lingual frenectomy, the dentist removes the tissues / lingual frenum developed too close to the tip of the tongue which is either causing speech problems or hindering the development of teeth. Lingual Frenectomy is quite common in the case of children diagnosed withtongue tie or clipping of tongue problem. Here is some more details of labial and lingual frenectomy. In case the readers have some more questions, dedicated dentists on our panel will be more than happy to offerfree dental advice online. Standard Frenectomy An incision is made across the base of the frenum at its attachment to the incisive papilla.

Unlike other sub-sites of the oral cavity, sun exposure is a well established risk factor for development of lip cancer. This helps explain why 90% of lip cancers occur on the lower lip, since it has a higher level of sun exposure compared to the upper lip which is shielded by the nose and is angled slightly downwards. There is also a pronounced geographic variability in incidence which is consistent with sun exposure patterns. In the US, the incidence is 1.8 per 100,000 population, whereas in Australia the incidence reaches as high as 13.5 per 100,000, and in parts of Asia lip cancer is virtually nonexistent. Thirty percent of patients with lip cancer have outdoor occupations. Tobacco use, including dip, alcohol use and immunosuppression are also risk factors. HPV has been associated with lip malignancy, but its role in the pathogenesis of the disease is not as defined as with other sub-sites in the oral cavity and oropharynx. This malignancy is more common in males, patients with fair complexions, and in the 6th decade of life. Most lower lip cancers (90%) are squamous cell type and involve the vermillion, whereas upper lip cancer is usually basal cell type and arise from the lip skin." }, { "docid": "D609722#0", "title": "http://www.sleepreviewmag.com/2014/09/alternative-therapies-obstructive-sleep-apnea/\n9 Alternative Therapies for Obstructive Sleep Apnea", "text": "CPAP is the gold standard for obstructive sleep apnea, but what about patients who can’t—or won’t—tolerate it or who need an additional therapy? We profile the spectrum of FDA-approved therapies, including when to try them, considerations for each, and new developments. Read an updated version of this article: 10 Sleep Apnea Treatments to Consider for Patients Who Fail or Refuse CPAPBy Sree Roy DEVICESOral Appliances Information source: Dr Kathleen Bennett, president, American Academy of Dental Medicine How it works: Oral appliance therapy (OAT) helps prevent the collapse of the tongue and soft tissues in the back of the throat by supporting the jaw in a forward position, keeping the airway open during sleep. When to try it: alternative therapy for mild to moderate OSA; after CPAP refusal or failure for all OSA severities; in conjunction with CPAP (may lower CPAP pressure) Appropriate AHI: Up to 30. For severe OSA patients, only after initial trial of CPAP, oral appliances have been shown to be 50% effective. Other considerations: Patients with lower BMI and lower AHI have higher success rates with oral appliances. It is most effective for supine dependent OSA. Patients with craniofacial retrognathism—when the lower jaw sits back behind the upper jaw—also have been shown to have success with oral appliances. Patients with steep mandibular planes or long necks have more difficulties reaping the benefits of an oral appliance. Patients who should NOT try it: those with central sleep apnea or those with morbid obesity; those with poor dentition—it’s best to first restore the patient’s teeth; those with acute TMD derangement or disc displacement resulting in a limited ability to open mouth New developments in 2014: A study showed objective measurement of OAT compliance is feasible using an embedded microsensor." }, { "docid": "D780276#0", "title": "http://www.dermadvocate.net/library/articles/derm-coding\nDerm CPT codes", "text": "Derm CPT codes Dermatology coding List of common dermatology CPT codes CPT Codes For Dermatology Dermatology Procedure Codes AMBULATORY PHLEBECTOMY/VEIN SURGERYCPT Code Description37720 Ligation and division and complete stripping of long or short saphenous veins37730 Ligation and division and complete stripping of long and short saphenous veins37735 Ligation and division and complete stripping of long or short saphenous veins with radical excision of ulcer and skin graft and/or interruption of communicating veins of lower leg, with excision of deep fascia37760 Ligation of perforator veins, subfascial, radical (Linton type), with or without skin graft, open37780 Ligation and division of short saphenous vein at saphenopopliteal junction (separate procedure)37785 Ligation, division, and /or excision of recurrent or secondary varicose veins (clusters), one leg BIOPSY11100 Biopsy skin 1 lesion11101 Biopsy skin, additional lesion __ (number)11755 Biopsy nail plate40490 Biopsy lip41100 Biopsy tongue anterior41108 Biopsy floor of mouth54100 Biopsy penis67810 Biopsy eyelid69100 Biopsy external ear BOTULINUM TOXIN ADMINISTRATIONCPT Code Description17999 Unlisted procedure, skin, mucous membrane and subcutaneous tissue CHEMICAL PEEL: DEEP - DERMALCPT Code Description15789 Chemical peel, facial;

Studies have shown that even in compliant patients, the actual usage of PAP is only approximately 50 percent of the time. Patients often complain of difficulty in being able to wear a tight mask throughout the night and dealing with the high pressure of air blown into their nose. For the noncompliant, surgery for sleep apnea may be a feasible alternative. While there are many surgical options, surgery should be tailored to the area of obstruction in each particular patient. The sites of obstruction could be anywhere in the upper respiratory tract including the nose, tongue, and throat. Below are the most common and effective surgical methods to address these potential sites of obstruction.

She was a nonsmoker and did not drink alcohol, but she had diabetes, hypertension, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. On examination, an exophytic mass with a whitish surface and multiple papillary projections was seen, involving the right half of the tongue. The tongue showed limited mobility and was indurated and tender to palpation. No enlargement of the cervical lymph nodes was detectable. Histopathological examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis of verrucous carcinoma, but in situ hybridization was negative for p16 as a surrogate marker of human papillomavirus infection. Verrucous carcinoma is a well-differentiated variant of squamous-cell carcinoma that is locally destructive, although it grows slowly and rarely metastasizes. Human papillomavirus infection and smoking are the main recognized etiologic factors. The patient was given methotrexate to reduce the size of the tumor before surgical excision.

This glucose has energy stored in its chemical bonds that can be used by other organisms. This stored energy is released whenever these chemical bonds are broken in metabolic processes such as cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process by which the chemical energy of \"\"food\"\" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Cellular respiration is the general term which describes all metabolic reactions involved in the formation of usable energy from the breakdown of nutrients. In living organisms, the \"\"universal\"\" source of energy is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved. Marathon runners eat a large plate of pasta the night before a competition because pasta is a good source of energy, or fuel for the body. All foods contain energy, but the amount of potential energy stored will vary greatly depending on the type of food. Moreover, not all of the stored energy is available to do work." } ]

The importance of water activity aw in food systems cannot be overemphasized. Throughout history water activity in food has been controlled by optimizing its usage either through drying, addition of sugar, salt or freezing. These methods prevent spoilage and maintain quality of food. Water activity is the ratio of the partial vapor pressure of water in equilibrium with a food: to the partial saturated vapor pressure of water vapor in air at the same temperature. This is equal to the relative humidity of air in equilibrium with the food. The water activity of a food describes the energy state of water in the food, hence it's potential to act as a solvent and participate in chemical/biochemical reactions including growth of microorganisms. This is an important property that is used to predict the stability and safety of food with respect to microbial growth, rates of deteriorative reactions and chemical/physical properties." }, { "docid": "D3245206#0", "title": "https://scienceaid.net/biology/ecology/food.html\nFood and Energy: Energy Transfer and Ecological Pyramids", "text": "\"Food and Energy: Energy Transfer and Ecological Pyramids Edited by Jamie (Science Aid Editor), Jen Moreau, Carlos Spicy Wiener, Sar Mal and 7 others6 Parts: Food Chains Energy Transfer Ecological Pyramids Questions and Answers Referencing this Article Comments You've probably studied food chains since primary school and are familiar enough with the concept to differentiate between herbivores and carnivores to identify those species at the top of the food chain and those species on the bottom. These concepts are the rudimentary basics of the food chain, however, food chains can be much more intricate and are undoubtedly vital parts of our ecosystems. As the name implies, food chains link the consumption of food, the amount of energy wasted and the transfer of energy amongst a species. Food chains always start with a plant source and always end with an animal. A simple example of a food chain would be: a plant is consumed by a herbivore, the herbivore is then consumed by a carnivore. Seems pretty simple right?

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The chemical energy available in food is generally the amount of energy that is released when the food is fully oxidized (like being burned). Your body combines oxidizeable chemicals in food you eat with oxygen that you breathe, in a chemical process that in its result is like slow burning. You inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide like other simpler combustion cycles. We generally measure the energy available in the food with the unit \"\"calorie\"\".

Earth is a complex of active physical and biological systems which interact and influence one another and change in response to energy in its various forms. There are various sources and forms of energy on Earth; some exert their influence naturally and others do so through human intervention. Energy cannot be destroyed but it can be (and constantly is) converted from one form to another.1. What is the most important source of energy for Earth? The Sun. Energy radiating from our closest star - the Sun - provides the natural power that fuels most of the physical and biological processes important to life. These processes include the movement of Earth's atmosphere which distributes energy, produces global weather, and oceanic circulation. Sunlight energy also sustains plant and animal life.

These enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. The word metabolism can also refer to all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms, including digestion and the transport of substances into and between different cells, in which case the set of reactions within the cells is called intermediary metabolism or intermediate metabolism. Main Document Defining Metabolism The term, 'Metabolism,' refers to the entire range of biochemical processes that happen within a person or living organism. Metabolism is something that consists of both,' Catabolism,' and, 'Anabolism;' which are the buildup and breakdown of substances. Metabolism is a term used to refer particularly to the breakdown of food and its subsequent transformation into energy the person's body needs. In the field of Biology, Metabolism refers to all of the body's chemical processes, the digestion of food, and the elimination of waste.

Many chemical reactions occur within biological cells, but without catalysts most of them happen too slowly in the test tube to be biologically relevant. Enzymes can also serve to couple two or more reactions together, so that a thermodynamically favourable reaction can be used to \"\"drive\"\" a thermodynamically unfavorable one. One of the most common examples is enzymes which use the dephosphorylation of ATP to drive some otherwise unrelated chemical reaction. Chemical reactions need a certain amount of activation energy to take place. Enzymes can increase the reaction speed by favoring or enabling a different reaction path with a lower activation energy (Fig. 1), making it easier for the reaction to occur. Enzymes are large proteins that catalyze (accelerate) chemical reactions. They are essential for the function of cells. Enzymes are very specific as to the reactions they catalyze and the chemicals (substrates) that are involved in the reactions." }, { "docid": "D3262849#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/97909010/bio-exam-2-flash-cards/\nbio exam 2", "text": "\"169 terms cayleecantrellbio exam 2Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sortmalnutrition the medical condition resulting from the lack of any essential nutrients in the diet, usually associated with starvationnutrients components in food that the body needs to grow, develop and repair itselfmacronutrients nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, that organisms must ingest in large amounts to maintain healthessential nutrients nutrients that can't be made by the body, so must be obtained by dietenergy the ability to do work, including building complex moleculesstarch a complex plant carbohydrate made up of glucose molecules, a source of stored energyessential amino acids amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize and must obtain from foodcatabolic reaction any chemical reaction that breaks down complex molecules into simpler moleculesanabolic reaction any chemical reaction that combines simple molecules to build more complex moleculesmetabolism all biochemical reactions occurring in an organism, including reactions that break down food molecules and reactions that build new cell structuresenzyme a protein that speeds up the rate of a chemical reactioncatalyst the process of speeding up the rate of a chemical reactionsubstrate a molecule to which an enzyme binds on and which it actsactive site the part of an enzyme that binds to substratesactivation energy the energy required for a chemical reaction to proceed. enzymes accelerate reactions by reducing this.mineral an inorganic chemical element required by organisms for normal growth, reproduction, and tissue maintenance, examples are calcium, iron, potassium, and zincmicronutrients nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, that organisms must ingest in small amounts to maintain healthvitamin an organic molecule required in small amounts for normal growth, reproduction, and tissue maintenancecofactor an inorganic substance, such as a metal ion, required to activate an enzymecoenzyme a small organic molecule, such as a vitamin, required to activate an enzymebiofuels renewable fuels made from living organisms (plants and algae)fossil fuels carbon rich energy sources, such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas, which are formed from the compressed fossilized remains of once living organismschemical energy potential energy stored in the bonds of biological moleculesconservation of energy the principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to anotherpotential energy stored energykinetic energy the energy of motion or movementheat the kinetic energy generated by random movement of molecules or atomsphotosynthesis the process by which plants and other autotrophs use sunlight to make energy rich molecules using carbon dioxide and waterautotrophs organisms such as plants, algae, and certain bacteria that capture the energy of sunlight by photosynthesischloroplast the organelle in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occursheterotrophs organisms, such as humans and other animals, that obtain energy by eating organic molecules that were produced by other organismslight energy the energy of electromagnetic spectrum of radiation that is visible to the human eyephotons packets of light energy, each with a specific wavelength and quality of energychlorophyll the pigment present in the green parts of plants that absorbs photons of light energy during the \"\"photo\"\" reaction of photosynthesisadenosine triphosphate (ATP) the molecule that cells use to power energy requiring functions, the cell's energy currencycarbon fixation the conversion of inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) into organic forms (sugars)body mass index (BMI) an estimate of body fat based on height and weightoverweight having a BMI between 25 and 29.9obese having 20% more body fat than is recommended for one's height, as measured by a body mass index equal to or greater than 30.calorie the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree Calorie 1,000 calories or 1 kilocalorie (kcal) , the capital \"\"C\"\" indicates kilocalorie. the common unit of energy used in food nutrition labelsglycogen a complex animal carbohydrate made up of linked chains of glucose molecules, that stores energy for short term usetriglycerides a type of lipid found in fat cells that stores excess energy for long term useaerobic respiration a series of reactions that occurs in the presence of oxygen and converts energy stored in food to ATPglycolysis a series of reactions that breaks down sugar into smaller units;

Specific proteins in the body control the chemical reactions of metabolism, and each chemical reaction is coordinated with other body functions. In fact, thousands of metabolic reactions happen at the same time — all regulated by the body — to keep our cells healthy and working. Metabolism (meh-TAB-uh-liz-um) is a constant process that begins when we're conceived and ends when we die. It is a vital process for all life forms — not just humans. If metabolism stops, a living thing dies. Here's an example of how the process of metabolism works in humans — and it begins with plants. First, a green plant takes in energy from sunlight.

A thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test measures the amount of TSH in the blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of your brain. It’s responsible for regulating the amount of hormones released by the thyroid. The thyroid is small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck. It’s an important gland that creates three primary hormones:triiodothyronine (T3)thyroxine (T4)calcitonin The thyroid controls numerous different bodily functions, including metabolism and growth, through the release of these three hormones. Your thyroid will produce more hormones if your pituitary gland produces more TSH. In this way, the two glands work together to make sure the right amount of thyroid hormones are produced. However, when this system is disrupted, your thyroid can produce either too many or too few hormones. A TSH test is often performed to determine the underlying cause of abnormal thyroid hormone levels." }, { "docid": "D3498658#0", "title": "http://www.flashcardmachine.com/med-term-chapter16vocabulary.html\nShared Flashcard Set", "text": "\"Shared Flashcard Set Details Title MED TERM Chapter 16 Vocabulary Description MED TERM Chapter 16 Vocabulary Total Cards 99Subject Medical Level Undergraduate 1Created 04/03/2007Click here to study/print these flashcards .

What is thyrotoxicosis? Inflammation of the tissues around the eye of a 58-year-old man with Graves' thyrotoxicosis. Thyrotoxicosis is the name given to the clinical effects experienced due to an excess of thyroid hormones in the bloodstream. Hormones produced by the thyroid gland control how fast or slow the body works ( metabolic rate ). Too much thyroid hormone ( thyroxine and triiodothyronine) speeds up the metabolism and results in the signs and symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. What causes thyrotoxicosis? The main cause of thyrotoxicosis is hyperthyroidism, which is an overactivity of the thyroid gland resulting in it producing excess levels of thyroid hormones. If the hyperthyroidism is due to an autoimmune cause, it is called Graves' disease. Other rarer causes of thyrotoxicosis include excessive intake of thyroid hormone in patients treated for hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland) and sometimes, inflammation of the thyroid gland (thyroiditis), which causes release of large quantities of thyroid hormone into the bloodstream." }, { "docid": "D3174064#0", "title": "https://www.drugs.com/pro/np-thyroid-30.html\nNP Thyroid 30", "text": "NP Thyroid 30Generic Name: levothyroxine, liothyronine Dosage Form: tablet Overview Side Effects Dosage Professional Interactions More Pregnancy Warnings Breastfeeding Warnings User Reviews Drug Images Support Group Q & APricing & Coupons Disclaimer: This drug has not been found by FDA to be safe and effective, and this labeling has not been approved by FDA.

NP Thyroid (thyroid tablets, USP) for oral use is a natural preparation derived from porcine thyroid glands. They contain both tetraiodothyronine sodium (T4 levothyroxine) and triiodothyronine sodium (T3 liothyronine) providing 38 mcg levothyroxine (T4) and 9 mcg liothyronine (T3) per grain of thyroid (or per 65 mg of the labeled amount of thyroid). The inactive ingredients are calcium stearate, dextrose monohydrate, maltodextrin and mineral oil. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: The steps in the synthesis of the thyroid hormones are controlled by thyrotropin (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, TSH) secreted by the anterior pituitary. This hormone’s secretion is in turn controlled by a feedback mechanism effected by the thyroid hormones themselves and by thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), a tripeptide of hypothalamic origin. Endogenous thyroid hormone secretion is suppressed when exogenous thyroid hormones are administered to euthyroid individuals in excess of the normal gland’s secretion. The mechanisms by which thyroid hormones exert their physiologic action are not well understood. These hormones enhance oxygen consumption by most tissues of the body, increase the basal metabolic rate, and the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins." }, { "docid": "D216153#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/hyperthyroidism\nhyperthyroidism", "text": "\"hyperthyroidism Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Related to hyperthyroidism: Graves disease, hypothyroidism Hyperthyroidism Definition Hyperthyroidism is the overproduction of thyroid hormones by an overactive thyroid. Description Located in the front of the neck, the thyroid gland produces the hormones thyroxine (T 4) andtriiodothyronine (T 3) that regulate the body's metabolic rate by helping to form protein ribonucleicacid (RNA) and increasing oxygen absorption in every cell. In turn, the production of thesehormones are controlled by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) that is produced by the pituitarygland. When production of the thyroid hormones increases despite the level of TSH beingproduced, hyperthyroidism occurs. The excessive amount of thyroid hormones in the bloodincreases the body's metabolism, creating both mental and physical symptoms. The term hyperthyroidism covers any disease which results in overabundance of thyroidhormone. Other names for hyperthyroidism, or specific diseases within the category, include Graves' disease, diffuse toxic goiter, Basedow's disease, Parry's disease, and thyrotoxicosis. The disease is 10 times more common in women than in men, and the annual incidence of hyperthyroidism in the United States is about one per 1,000 women.

Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder in which your child’s thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. A child with an underactive thyroid may experience fatigue, weight gain, constipation, decreased growth, and a host of other issues.

Hormones produced by the thyroid affect all aspects of your child’s health including heart rate, energy metabolism (how effectively the body uses calories), growth and development. Hypothyroidism is treatable with medication. Types of hypothyroidism There are several different types of hypothyroidism, including: Congenital hypothyroidism Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) occurs when the thyroid gland does not develop or function normally prior to birth. It is a very common problem, affecting about 1 in every 2,500 to 3,000 babies. In the United States, all states test for CH as part of their routine newborn screening process. Many factors, including your family history, your child’s physical exam, the degree of hypothyroidism in your baby at the time of diagnosis, and the course of treatment over the first two to three years of life, will help your child's physician determine if the cause is hereditary (runs in your family), and if life-long therapy is required." }, { "docid": "D62577#0", "title": "http://www.drrind.com/therapies/thyroid-scale\nThyroid Scale Overview", "text": "Thyroid Scale Overview Dr. Rind's Thyroid Scale™ is a method of evaluating thyroid lab data (TSH, Free T4, and Free T3) relative to optimal values as well as each other to provide a clearer view of what is going on as opposed to simply looking at whether lab values are ‘normal’ or not.

Skilled laboratory staff can significantly enhance the choice of appropriate tests and the accuracy of clinical response; such involvement requires both appropriate training and relevant information from the clinician. Measurement of the serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration with an assay of adequate sensitivity is now the cornerstone of thyroid function testing; for untreated populations at risk of primary thyroid dysfunction, a normal TSH concentration rules out an abnormality with a high degree of certainty. However, in several important situations, most notably pituitary abnormalities and early treatment of thyroid dysfunction, serum TSH can give a misleading indication of thyroid status. An abnormal TSH concentration alone is never an adequate basis for initiation of treatment, which should be based on the typical relationship between trophic and target gland hormones, based on serum TSH and an estimate of serum free thyroxine (T4). Six basic assumptions, some clinical, some laboratory-based, need to be considered, together with the relevant limiting conditions, for reliable use of this relationship. Current methods of free T4 estimation remain imperfect, especially during critical illness. Diagnostic approach differs significantly between initial diagnosis and follow-up of treated thyroid dysfunction. In some situations, serum triiodothyronine (T3) is also required, but serum T3 lacks sensitivity for diagnosis of hypothyroidism, and has poor specificity during non-thyroidal illness. Where assay results are anomalous, most atypical findings can be resolved by attention to the clinical context, without further investigation.

Progesterone is the hormone secreted by the female reproductive system - the ovaries, placenta, and adrenal glands. The term progestin is used to describe progesterone and synthetic steroid hormones with progesterone-like properties, such as the progestogen levonorgestrel. Progesterone functions mainly to regulate the condition of the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) after a woman produces an egg during the middle of her menstrual cycle. Progesterone is the dominant female hormone for the last half of the menstrual cycle. Estrogen and progesterone work in synchronization with each other as checks and balances to achieve hormonal harmony in both sexes. Since most progesterone in males is created during testicular production of testosterone, and most in females by the ovaries, the shutting down or removal of these organs, whether by natural or chemical means, inevitably causes a considerable reduction in progesterone levels. At one time, progesterone was simply considered a \"\"female hormone\"\", and the scientific and medical communities' focus only on the role of progestagens (progesterone and molecules with similar effects) in female reproduction obscured the significance of progesterone's importance elsewhere in both sexes. Widespread research into the potential value of maintaining progesterone levels in both males and females is currently underway.

A meta-analysis is a statistical analysis that combines the results of multiple scientific studies. The basic tenet behind meta-analyses is that there is a common truth behind all conceptually similar scientific studies, but which has been measured with a certain error within individual studies. The aim then is to use approaches from statistics to derive a pooled estimate closest to the unknown common truth based on how this error is perceived. In essence, all existing methods yield a weighted average from the results of the individual studies and what differs is the manner in which these weights are allocated and also the manner in which the uncertainty is computed around the point estimate thus generated. In addition to providing an estimate of the unknown common truth, meta-analysis has the capacity to contrast results from different studies and identify patterns among study results, sources of disagreement among those results, or other interesting relationships that may come to light in the context of multiple studies. [ 1]A key benefit of this approach is the aggregation of information leading to a higher statistical power and more robust point estimate than is possible from the measure derived from any individual study. However, in performing a meta-analysis, an investigator must make choices which can affect the results, including deciding how to search for studies, selecting studies based on a set of objective criteria, dealing with incomplete data, analyzing the data, and accounting for or choosing not to account for publication bias.

Meta-analysis is the statistical procedure for combining data from multiple studies. When the treatment effect (or effect size) is consistent from one study to the next, meta-analysis can be used to identify this common effect. When the effect varies from one study to the next, meta-analysis may be used to identify the reason for the variation. Why perform a meta-analysis? Decisions about the utility of an intervention or the validity of a hypothesis cannot be based on the results of a single study, because results typically vary from one study to the next. Rather, a mechanism is needed to synthesize data across studies. Narrative reviews had been used for this purpose, but the narrative review is largely subjective (different experts can come to different conclusions) and becomes impossibly difficult when there are more than a few studies involved. Meta-analysis, by contrast, applies objective formulas (much as one would apply statistics to data within a single study), and can be used with any number of studies." }, { "docid": "D2208303#0", "title": "http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/14/health/coffee-health/index.html\nHealth effects of coffee: Where do we stand?", "text": "\"Health effects of coffee: Where do we stand?

Several theories concerning the biologically based cause of depression have been suggested over the years, including theories revolving around monoamine neurotransmitters, neuroplasticity, inflammation and the circadian rhythm. Neural circuits implicated in depression include those those involved in the generation and regulation of emotion, as well as in reward. Abnormalities are commonly found in the lateral prefrontal cortex whose putative function is generally considered to involve regulation of emotion. Regions involved in the generation of emotion and reward such as the amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, and orbitofrontal cortex, and striatum and frequently implicated as well. These regions are innervated by a monoaminergic nuclei, and tentative evidence suggests a potential role for abnormal monoaminergic activity.

Fortunately, teachers have become more adept at recognizing the ones that are supported by research. This is an important shift because education has such a long history of fads that Ellis (2005) concluded that in education, \"\"today's flagship is often tomorrow's abandoned shipwreck\"\" (p. 200). The best way to avoid fads in educational practice is research. Too often in K-12 schools, interventions without a solid research base are widely implemented and interventions supported by compelling research are not. Thus, teachers are recognizing that when evaluating a potential intervention or educational practice, the first question should be \"\"Is it a scientific, research-based intervention?\"\" Currently, What Works Clearinghouse's (WWC) cites studies with participants randomly assigned to treatment and control conditions as providing the strongest evidence. That does not mean that practitioners cannot benefit from reading other types of studies; it simply indicates that the research about a particular intervention should include studies that represent strong evidence through use of randomized designs." }, { "docid": "D500695#0", "title": "https://www.drugs.com/npp/probiotics.html\nProbiotics", "text": "Probiotics Overview Side Effects Professional Reviews Q & AMore Scientific Name (s): Lactobacillus spp., ( eg, L. acidophilus , L. casei , L. rhamnosus , L. bulgaricus , L. plantarum , L. helveticus ), Bifidobacterium spp. ( eg, B. bifidum , B. longum , B. breve , B. infantis ), Sacchromyces boulardii , Streptococcus salvarius , Enterococcus faecium Common Name (s): Probiotics , yogurt , sour milk , VSL-3 , Indian yogurt , various commercial preparations Uses Sufficient clinical trials have been conducted to enable meta-analyses to be conducted for several clinical conditions.

The Overjustification hypothesis by self-perception theory, as well as the cognitive evaluation theory (CET) will be discussed, including some of the benefits of self-motivation for learning. Various studies will be explored to show that extrinsic rewards reduce intrinsic motivation. Results suggest that students that are offered an extrinsic goal subsequently show less intrinsic interest and demonstrate poorer conceptual learning and performance in the long term. Alternately, students that are regulated by intrinsic motivations experience positive consequences at school. This paper will conclude on the note that intrinsic motivation plays a pivotal role in learning, and that teachers and other social agents can help promote intrinsic goals to motivate conceptual learning and performance, even when students hold a stronger extrinsic goal orientation. Finally, various factors that can enhance and develop intrinsic motivation will be discussed, and suggestions will be provided for further research on this topic. There is a great deal of research that investigates the effects of extrinsic rewards on intrinsic motivation; in fact, existing literature indicates that reinforcement can undermine intrinsic motivation, lowering intrinsic interest in students (Deci, Koestner, Ryan, 2001). What exactly is meant by reinforcement for student learning? There are three main types of reinforcers: activity reinforcers, such as allowing a student to participate in a pleasant activity; social reinforcers, such as praise and smiling; and tangible reinforcers, such as students being awarded with stickers or gold stars, in return for obedience or for meeting an established standard (Duncan, Kemple, Smith, 2000)." }, { "docid": "D1300836#0", "title": "https://www.slideshare.net/tulasiraman/meta-analysis-an-overview\nMeta Analysis â An Overview", "text": "Meta Analysis – An Overview18,983 views Share Like...

Quantitative: numbers Systematic: methodical Combining: putting together Previous research: whats already done Conclusions: new knowledge A study collects data from individual subjects (such as 100 subjects = 100 “data points”) A meta-analysis collects data from individual studies (such as 100 studies = 100 “data points”)3. HISTORY Karl Pearson is probably the first medical researcher to use formal techniques to combine data from different studies (1904): He synthesized data from several studies on efficacy of typhoid vaccination His rationale for pooling data: “Many of the groups… are far too small to allow of any definite opinion being formed at all, having regard to the size of the probable error involved. ”4. THE TERM META-ANALYSIS 1952: Hans J. Eysenck concluded that there were no favorable effects of psychotherapy, starting a raging debate which 25 years of evaluation research and hundreds of studies failed to resolve 1978: To proved Eysenck wrong, Gene V.

Meta-analysis involves investing substantial time and energy in development and accomplishment. Thereby, it should not be considered as a nippy way to collect and analyze studies with a sole aim of making a quick publication. Hasselblad wrote an excellent article, with lots of examples and formulae that would be of great value for any researcher who wishes to initiate a meta-analysis 1. After the process of accomplishing systematic review has been completed in any study, the process of conducting meta-analysis can take place subsequently. To put in simple words, meta-analysis is the process coalescing the data collected on the basis of systematic reviews. Combining this data together helps in drawing useful conclusions in any study. However, not all systematic reviews necessarily lead to a good meta-analysis. There are some crucial points that govern the efficient conduction of a meta-analysis that is up to the mark.

Large population-based studies in transplant recipients have shown that a wider range of cancers could be associated with immune deficiency. Our aim was to compare cancer incidence in population-based cohort studies of people with HIV/AIDS and people immunosuppressed after solid organ transplantation. Methods Two investigators independently identified eligible studies through searches of Pub Med and reference lists. Random-effects meta-analyses of log standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated by type of cancer for both immune deficient populations. Findings Seven studies of people with HIV/AIDS (n=444 172) and five of transplant recipients (n=31 977) were included. For 20 of the 28 types of cancer examined, there was a significantly increased incidence in both populations. Most of these were cancers with a known infectious cause, including all three types of AIDS-defining cancer, all HPV-related cancers, as well as Hodgkin's lymphoma (HIV/AIDS meta-analysis SIR 11·03, 95% CI 8·43–14·4; transplant 3·89, 2·42–6·26), liver cancer (HIV/AIDS 5·22, 3·32–8·20; transplant 2·13, 1·16–3·91), and stomach cancer (HIV/AIDS 1·90, 1·53–2·36; transplant 2·04, 1·49–2·79). Most common epithelial cancers did not occur at increased rates. Interpretation The similarity of the pattern of increased risk of cancer in the two populations suggests that it is immune deficiency, rather than other risk factors for cancer, that is responsible for the increased risk." } ]

It sure sounds like a scary term, but does that mean it actually is in all cases? Well, it certainly can be. Hyperplasia, also sometimes called hypergenesis, is a condition characterized by an abnormal overgrowth of cells, which can occur in various parts of the body— including the prostate, breasts and uterus. Because it’s the result of an increased rate of cell reproduction, it’s sometimes the initial stage in the development of cancer (although not always) and can also cause enlargement of certain organs. However, not every type is cancerous or even harmful. In fact, certain forms are completely normal and even beneficial in some ways (these types are considered physiologic). ( 1) For example, hyperplasia of the liver allows us to heal from even extensive liver damage. Studies show that up to 75 percent of someone’s liver can be scarred, but that person can still fully recover due to the effects of hyperplasia. ( 2) And when someone gets sick, his or her tonsils might undergo hyperplasia in order to boost production of cells that fight the threatening virus or bacteria." }, { "docid": "D669688#0", "title": "http://medcell.med.yale.edu/histology/muscle_lab.php\nHistology@ Yale", "text": "Muscle Lab Learning Objectives Identify the histological landmarks of skeletal muscle Contrast the structure and function of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissue.

That suggests it is made of two organs—and you may not even think of the spinal cord as an organ—but the nervous system is a very complex structure. Within the brain, many different and separate regions are responsible for many different and separate functions. It is as if the nervous system is composed of many organs that all look similar and can only be differentiated using tools such as the microscope or electrophysiology. In comparison, it is easy to see that the stomach is different than the esophagus or the liver, so you can imagine the digestive system as a collection of specific organs. The Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems The nervous system can be divided into two major regions: the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system (CNS) is the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is everything else ( Figure 1 ). The brain is contained within the cranial cavity of the skull, and the spinal cord is contained within the vertebral cavity of the vertebral column. It is a bit of an oversimplification to say that the CNS is what is inside these two cavities and the peripheral nervous system is outside of them, but that is one way to start to think about it." }, { "docid": "D1667396#0", "title": "http://www.emedicinehealth.com/hyperkalemia/article_em.htm\nHyperkalemia (High Blood Potassium)", "text": "\"What is Hyperkalemia?

Muscles in general can only actively shorten: they do not actively re-lengthen themselves. As such, something has to re-extend them. Skeletal muscles move you about by their attachment to the skeleton (primarily but not exclusively) and they are usually designed with a prime mover and an antagonist. The prime mover does the primary movement while shortening of the antagonist re-lengthens the prime mover. Some skeletal muscles have no antagonist and re-lengthening occurs via having the fibers at 90 degree angles to each other (the tongue), by gravity (the soft palate) or other means. Cardiac muscle moves blood in the body through its rhythmic pumping activity and it is re-extended by, essentially, diastolic blood pressure. Smooth muscle lines the hollow organs of the body (blood vessels, digestive, reproductive, respiratory and urinary tracts) and re-extension involves filling of the lumen and/or pressurizing the lumen. Smooth muscle is involved in regulating blood pressure when found in blood vessels, involved in moving the digestive contents in the digestive tract, andinvolved in moving products of the reproductive tract, involved in regulating air flow within the respiratory system, and involved in regulating urine flow in the urinary tract.

The Cori cycle and glucose-alanine cycle References What is the Cori cycle? The Cori cycle, or glucose-lactate cycle, was discovered by Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Theresa Radnitz, a husband-and-wife team, in the ‘30s and ‘40s of the last century . They demonstrated the existence of a metabolic cooperation between the skeletal muscle working under low oxygen conditions and the liver. This cycle can be summarized as follows:the conversion of glucose to lactic acid, or lactate, by anaerobic glycolysis in skeletal muscle cells;the diffusion of lactate from muscle cells into the bloodstream, by which it is transported to the liver;the conversion of lactate to glucose by hepatic gluconeogenesis;the diffusion of glucose from the hepatocytes into the bloodstream, by which it is transported back to the skeletal muscle cells, thereby closing the cycle. Summarizing, we have: part of the lactate produced in skeletal muscle is converted to glucose in the liver, and transported back to skeletal muscle, thus closing the cycle. Glucose → Lactate →Glucose The importance of this cycle is demonstrated by the fact that it may account for about 40% of plasma glucose turnover. ⇑ Back to the top ⇑Where does the Cori cycle occur?" }, { "docid": "D3360597#0", "title": "https://theartofmed.wordpress.com/2015/05/23/cellular-adaptation-to-stress/\nCellular Adaption To Stress", "text": "\"Cellular Adaption To Stress Cellular adaptation refer to (usually) reversible changes in size, number, phenotype or appearance, metabolic activity or functions of cells in response to adverse environmental conditions or internal bodily stresses. Basically, just as we react to something in our environment, cells don’t just sit there and take their punishment – they change to try to conquer the problem. There are 4 important ways in which they do this: Hypertrophy Hyperplasia Atrophy Metaplasia Hypertrophy and Hyperplasia Hypertrophy is a cellular response that involves the increased size of cells, that results in an increase in size of the affected organ. Note that there is no increase in the number of cells, rather JUST the size. This type of cellular adaptation to stress occurs in a number of different cells, and is usually coupled with another type of cellular adaptation, hyperplasia. Hyperplasia is a cellular response that involves the increase in number of cells in response to a stimulus. Both hyperplasia and hypertrophy occur as compensatory mechanisms to an increased workload on the organ or cell. To remember which is which, think of the prefix and suffix that make up the word. The suffix “plasia” means “development” and thus hyperplasia means “increased development,” corresponding to an increase in the number of cells. Similarly, “-trophy” means “sustenance, nutrition” and thus, hypertrophy refers, in fact to the very mechanism of hypertrophy, an increase in factors that sustain and allow growth of the cells, which will be explained later." }, { "docid": "D953427#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/34679150/ch-6-the-muscular-system-flash-cards/\nCh. 6: The Muscular System", "text": "\"95 terms bkamenicky Ch. 6: The Muscular System Chapter Overview Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

When AREDV occurs prenatally, a close follow-up or expeditious delivery should be contemplated. AREDV in the umbilical artery is associated with intraventricular hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and perinatal mortality. It may be associated with respiratory distress syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis, and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. Available data suggest that women with high-risk pregnancies, such as preeclampsia, gestational hypertension and intrauterine growth restriction, should be evaluated with umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry to reduce the possibility of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Previous article Next article Key Wordsabsent or reversed end-diastolic velocity fetal growth retardation perinatal mortality placental insufficiencypreeclampsia pregnancy complications Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol • September 2009 • Vol 48 • No 3 225 ■ REVIEW ARTICLE ■ Introduction Doppler velocity measurement has been extensively ap- plied in prenatal diagnosis for more than two decades. Blood flow in numerous vessels has been investigated to predict fetal condition, especially in the umbilical artery [1–7]. Histopathologic studies suggest that ab- normal umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry is correlated with a pathologic lesion of the placenta characterized by obliteration of arterioles in the tertiary stem villi; the umbilical artery flow velocity waveform is primarily de- termined by placental villous vascular architecture [8,9]. The increased placental vascular resistance is reflected as a decreased diastolic phase of the umbilical artery waveform; moreover, end-diastolic flow of the umbilical artery vanishes and ultimately reverses in the progres- sively worsened condition, and absent or reversed end- diastolic velocity (AREDV) flow is finally present in the Doppler waveform [3,4,10,11]. AREDV during preg- nancy is a strong indication of placental insufficiency. Previous studies have clarified that an increased um- bilical artery systolic/diastolic ratio is a significant risk factor for progression of fetal acidosis, fetal distress, preterm delivery, low Apgar scores, and even perinatal death [12–15]. Mortality and morbidity (such as intra- ventricular hemorrhage [IVH], periventricular leukoma- lacia [PVL], bronchopulmonary dysplasia [BPD], respiratory distress syndrome [RDS], necrotizing entero- colitis [NEC], and long-term neurodevelopmental im- pairment) of fetuses with AREDV in the umbilical artery have been well discussed, especially in growth-restricted fetuses [1,2,10,16,17]. When AREDV occurs prenatally, close follow-up or expeditious delivery should be consid- ered.

We evaluate the accuracy of Tc B measurements in assessing jaundice in Hispanic neonates by using total serum bilirubin (TSB) measurements as the reference standard and determine the Tc B level that can be used to identify neonates at risk for clinically significant jaundice (above the 95th percentile). Methods: A total of 192 Hispanic neonates were enrolled. Tc B measurements were performed within 30 minutes of obtaining the TSB measurement. The linear relationship between Tc B and TSB was measured by using the Pearson correlation coefficient ( r ). We calculated sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values by using a Tc B level above the 75th percentile to identify neonates with a TSB level above the 95th percentile. Results: TSB ranged from 1.7 to 13.9 mg/d L, with 62% falling below the 75th percentile. Tc B correlated well with TSB in Hispanic neonates ( r = 0.87). A Tc B level above the 75th percentile detected all infants with a TSB level above the 95th percentile, sensitivity 100%, and specificity 66%. Conclusions: In Hispanic newborns, the Tc B level correlated well with the TSB level." }, { "docid": "D169968#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_jaundice\nNeonatal jaundice", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Neonatal jaundice Synonyms Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal icterus, jaundice in newborns Jaundice in a newborn Specialty Pediatrics Symptoms Yellowish discoloration of the skin and white part of the eyes [1]Complications Seizures, cerebral palsy, kernicterus [1]Usual onset Newborns [1]Types Physiologic, pathologic [1]Causes Red blood cell breakdown, liver disease, infection, hypothyroidism, metabolic disorders [2] [1]Diagnostic method Based on symptoms, confirmed by bilirubin [1]Treatment More frequent feeding, phototherapy, exchange transfusions [1]Frequency >50% of babies [1]Neonatal jaundice is a yellowish discoloration of the white part of the eyes and skin in a newborn baby due to high bilirubin levels.

During the last 20 years evidence has been accumulating about the benefits to the newborn of delayed clamping of the cord after birth. These benefits include increased iron stores and a decreased risk of anemia up to 4-6 months of age. 1,2 Adequate availability of iron is important for the development of the brain during the first years of life 3,4 and transferring the cord blood at birth is an easy way to elevate the ferritin in the blood of newborn. As an increasing number of parents are considering storing or donating their cord blood, is there a way to both benefit the baby and collect cord blood? What does “early” and “delayed” mean? One difficulty when assessing the data is the inconsistency of the definitions of “early” and “delayed” clamping. “ Early” has been defined as any time between 10 sec to 1 min, and “delayed” as between 30 sec to 5 min.

The Intensive Care Unit of the Paediatric Clinic Maribor began treating anaemia of prematurity with erythropoietin in 2000. After introducing the treatment, the clinic found that the number of blood product transfusions and the needed blood volume decreased. In addition to erythropoietin, this was the result of stricter criteria for applying transfusion of concentrated erythrocytes. Key words: preterm infant, anaemia of prematurity, erythropoietin, transfusion Introduction After birth, the transition from a hypoxic to a hyperoxic state in all newborns lowers haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations. Improved oxygenation lowers erythropoietin (EPO) concentrations, which in the neonate newborn leads to physiological, mostly asymptomatic anaemia between 8 and 12 weeks of age. ( 1-4) Anaemia of prematurity is the more expressed, deficient response of a premature newborn to this transition. It manifests itself as a normochromic anaemia, which in addition to a severely reduced concentration of Hb is characterized by low EPO serum levels. Many preterm newborns experience anaemia in the first few days of life. Reasons range from a low starting level of Hb (compression, the separation of the umbilical cord stump or bleeding), or multiple venepunctures for laboratory tests and erythrocyte haemolysis because of infection." }, { "docid": "D1441473#0", "title": "http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/Tins4you-546886-care-of-newborn/\ncare of newborn", "text": "\"care of newborn Tins4you Download Share Add to Flag Embed Views: 828 Category: Education License: All Rights Reserved Presentation Description No description available.

It is an important link in the chain of events from conception to adulthood. Newborn undergo profound physiologic changes at the birth because they have been released from a warm, snug, darkened, liquid – filled environment, which has met all the basic needs in to a chilly, glaring, gravity based, outside world. Slide 3: TERMINOLOGY: NEONATE—from birth to under four week (<28weeks) of age, the infant is called newborn or neonate. EARLY NEONATE—First week of life (< 7 days or < 168 hours) is known as early neonatal period. LATE NEONATE---- Late neonatal period extends from seventh to < 28 days. TERM BABY-------Any neonate born between 37and 42 weeks (259-293 days) of pregnancy irrespective of the birth weight.

[ 1] [2] It can affect newborns and (less commonly) fetuses; premature infants are at the greatest risk of neonatal encephalopathy which may lead to this condition. Affected individuals generally exhibit motor control problems or other developmental delays, and they often develop cerebral palsy or epilepsy later in life. This pathology of the brain was described under various names (\"\"encephalodystrophy\"\", \"\"ischemic necrosis\"\", \"\"periventricular infarction\"\", \"\"coagulation necrosis\"\", \"\"leukomalacia,\"\" \"\"softening of the brain\"\", \"\"infarct periventricular white matter\"\", \"\"necrosis of white matter\"\", \"\"diffuse symmetrical periventricular leukoencephalopathy\"\"), and more often by German scientists, but the worldwide dissemination was the term periventricular leukomalacia, introduced in 1962 B.

The purposes of this statement are to review conventional definitions of age during the perinatal period and to recommend standard terminology. “Gestational age” (or “menstrual age”) is the time elapsed between the first day of the last normal menstrual period and the day of delivery (Fig 1 ). 8 – 10 The first day of the last menstrual period occurs approximately 2 weeks before ovulation and approximately 3 weeks before implantation of the blastocyst. Because most women know when their last period began but not when ovulation occurred, this definition traditionally has been used when estimating the expected date of delivery. As long as menstrual dates are remembered accurately, this method of estimating the date of delivery is reliable. 11 Minor inaccuracy (4–6 days) in the expected date of delivery determined from menstrual dates is attributable to inherent biological variability in the relative timing of onset of the last menstrual period, fertilization of the egg, and implantation of the blastocyst." }, { "docid": "D422270#0", "title": "http://www.acehomework.net/?download=test-bank-of-human-development-a-cultural-approach-1st-edition-by-jeffrey-jensen-arnett\nTEST BANK Of Human Development A Cultural Approach 1st Edition By Jeffrey Jensen Arnett", "text": "INSTANT DOWNLOAD WITH ANSWERSIF FACE ANY PROBLEM CONTACT US ATWHISPERHILLS@GMAIL.

Top Abstract Objective: To determine whether congenital anomalies are associated with breech presentation at the time of birth. Study Design: A population-based, retrospective cohort study was conducted among 460 147 women with singleton live births using the Missouri Birth Defects Registry, which includes all defects diagnosed during the first year of life. Maternal and obstetric characteristics and outcomes between breech and cephalic presentation groups were compared using χ 2 -square statistic and Student’s t -test. Multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (a ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Result: At least one congenital anomaly was more likely present among infants breech at birth (11.7 %) than in those with cephalic presentation (5.1 % ), whether full-term (9.4 vs 4.6 %) or preterm (20.1 vs 11.6 % ). The relationship between breech presentation and congenital anomaly was stronger among full-term births (a OR 2.09, CI 1.96, 2.23, term vs 1.40, CI 1.26, 1.55, preterm), but not in all categories of anomalies." }, { "docid": "D563142#0", "title": "http://pedsinreview.aappublications.org/content/20/7/e6\nNeonatal Hypoglycemia", "text": "Advertising Disclaimer »Pediatrics in Review July 1999, VOLUME 20 / ISSUE 7From the American Academy of Pediatrics Neoreviews Neonatal Hypoglycemia Jane E.

The infant had Apgar scores of 7 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. His growth parameters were in the normal range, with weight at the 60th percentile, head circumference at the 50th percentile, and length at the 50th percentile. The baby was taken to the well baby nursery, examined and bathed, and then taken to the mother for nursing at about 2 hours of age. He appeared slightly jittery at that time and was not very interested in nursing or very aware.

According to Webster, viability is \"\"having attained such form and development as to be normally capable of surviving outside the mother's womb.\"\" [ 12] In general, viability refers to the gestational age when a fetus reaches an anatomical threshold when critical organs, such as the lungs and kidneys, can sustain life. [ 13] The Nuffield Council on Bioethics specifically defines the borderline of viability as an infant born at or before the gestational age of 25 weeks. [ 4] More commonly, the limit of viability has been defined as the age of fetal maturity that ensures a reasonable chance of extrauterine survival given technological support. [ 10] Seri and Evans [ 13] have made the latter definition more specific by suggesting that viability is the age at which the infant has a 50% chance of long-term survival. In 2002, the Federal Government entered the viability discussion by enacting the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, stating the term \"\"born alive\"\" means \"\"the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles.\"\" [ 14]Neonatal nurses, nurse practitioners, neonatologists, and obstetricians have long recognized that there are other factors relevant to the viability of the extremely premature neonate, and reliance on estimated gestational age alone may not truly reflect an accurate prognosis. This is particularly true given the difficulties of accurate gestational age estimation. Measurement error in fetal gestational age assessment during the first trimester using ultrasonography is only a few days, but after the first trimester, error can be as great as plus or minus 2 weeks.

Addiction Research Foundation, (1991)Withdrawal Symtoms of a Infant Born to a Mother in Methadone Treatment Not all infants born to mothers on methadone will go through withdrawal after birth. This usually begins a few days after birth (48 to 72 hours after), but symptoms could arise two to four weeks after birth and may last several weeks or months. The onset of withdrawal and severity of symptoms vary: during the birth serum and tissue levels begin to fall; the newborn continues to metabolize the drug (s) and abstinence symptoms occur when critically low tissue levels are reached. Less sever withdrawal symptoms can persist until six months of age. Methadone exposed infants generally are reported to have a higher frequency and more lengthy period of abstinence than those whose mothers used heroin. Withdrawal may be mild and short-lived delayed in onset or characterized by a step by step increase in severity. Symptoms may be present irregularly, or have a two stage course that includes severe withdrawal followed by improvement and then become worse again. More severe symptoms seem to occur in infants whose mothers have taken large amounts of drugs for a long time. The development of the infant’s metabolic and excretory systems also plays an important role, since preterm infants generally eliminate the prenatal drug (s) more slowly and seem to show a less active onset of withdrawal.

Paraphilia literally means “beyond usual or typical love” and is the term generally used to describe sexual behaviors wherein sexual arousal and response are triggered by an unusual object or a bizarre activity. The American Psychiatric Association deems such behavior as a negation of loving relationship and expression of “ psychosexually disordered behavior .” Paraphilia has come to mean a “non-traditional sexual behavior” where the object of sexual arousal is an inanimate object, non-human, or a bizarre activity. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) describes paraphilia as “sexual disorders characterized by recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges or behaviors generally involving – 1. Nonhuman objects 2. The suffering or humiliation of oneself or one's partner, or 3. Children or other nonconsenting persons, that occur over a period of 6 months\"\" (Criterion A), “which cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning\"\" (Criterion B). It must be mentioned that there are those who argue that the categorical distinctions between normal and abnormal sexual behavior are unjustified. There is a whole market that thrives on sex toys and other adult novelties that cater to what some would label “ kinky sex ”." } ]

Sometimes, the pleasure derives from the physical urine (i.e., the warmth and the smell). Other times the person associates the urine and urination with intimacy, closeness, and trust. Urination can play a role in sadomasochistic activities, where the sadist will demonstrate dominance by urinating on the masochist. Some women find that their orgasms are more intense and pleasurable when they have a full bladder, or when they urinate during orgasm. 2People who take part in urophilia are referred to as urophiliacs. Although urophilia encompasses a variety of behaviors and sexual practices involving urine, researchers have identified three primary functions of urine for urophiliacs: Urine serves as a fetishistic object.

Quinsey: Part of the definition of pedophilia is a person has a preference for a particular kind of partner.

As far as we know—and many people have tried—these sexual interests are not modifiable by any method that’s been tried yet. So it appears like pedophilia is a sexual orientation.

THE PARAPHILIASDefinition The word paraphilia is from the Greek for love of what is beyond. A paraphilia involves the fixation on an unusual or partial object or act that impairs the capacity for affectionate sexual relations. Occurrence It is very difficult to get estimates on the occurrence of paraphilias. Many of these behaviors face extreme social condemnation, and, thus, tend to be underreported. Moralism Probably in no field is there such moralistic revulsion again deviant acts as against the paraphilias. For instance, pedophilia is considered such a terrible crime, with good reason, that in the prison system the pedophiles are considered the lowest of the low and are subject to violent attacks by other prisoners. Revulsion, however, does not have to be moralistic. We can hate the act, while not hating the perpetrator for even in this most emotionally volatile area, biological disturbances are present.

On one face, it picks out a technique agents (coercers) can use to get other agents to do or not do something. On the other face, it picks out a kind of reason for why agents (coercees) sometimes do or refrain from doing something. Coercion is typically thought to carry with it several important implications, including that it diminishes the targeted agent's freedom and responsibility, and that it is a ( pro tanto) wrong and/or violation of right. Nonetheless, few believe that it is always unjustified, since it seems that no society could function without some authorized uses of coercion. It helps keep the bloody minded and recalcitrant from harming others, and seems also to be an indispensable technique in the rearing of children. A state's legitimacy and sovereignty is sometimes thought to depend on its ability to use coercion effectively and to monopolize its use within its territory against competitors, both internal and external. Because of its usefulness and its sometimes devastating effects, coercion is a matter of longstanding political and ethical concern. Nonetheless, there has been little sustained scholarly attention to its nature until recently; historically, many seem to have been willing to accept the concept of coercion as a primitive.

The essential feature of fetishism is recurrent intense sexual urges and sexually arousing fantasies involving specific objects. While any object may become a fetish, the distinguishing feature is its connection with sex or sexual gratification. A diagnosis of fetishism is made only if an individual has acted on these urges, is markedly distressed by them, or if the fetish object is required for gratification. For some people with a paraphilia such as fetishism, paraphilic fantasies or stimuli may be necessary for erotic arousal and are always included in sexual activity, or the presence of the fetish object may occur only episodically. For example, the fetish object may only be necessary for arousal during periods of stress , and at other times, the person is able to function sexually without the fetish or stimuli related to the fetish. Description As stated, a fetish is a form of paraphilia, and in fetishism, the affected person has created a strong association between an object and sexual pleasure or gratification. A fetish is not simply a pleasant memory—it is a dominant component of most sexual situations. Most fetishes are objects or body parts.

These fantasies, urges, or behaviors must occur for a significant period of time and must interfere with either satisfactory sexual relations or everyday functioning if the diagnosis is to be made. There is also a sense of distress within these individuals. In other words, they typically recognize the symptoms as negatively impacting their life but feel as if they are unable to control them. The DSM-IV classifies paraphilias as an Axis II disorder. [ 1]. This means they are viewed as clinical syndromes or symptomatic personality functions that are evidenced in long lasting symptoms. Typically, all Axis II conditions are believed to affect all parts of the individual's way of interacting with the world, and are called pervasive.

Digestion Carbohydrates are most commonly consumed as polysaccharides (e.g. starch, fibre or cellulose) or disaccharides (e.g. lactose, sucrose, galactose) and therefore need to be broken down into their simpler monosaccharide forms which the body can utilise. The digestion process of polysaccharides such as starch will begin in the mouth where it is hydrolysed by salivary amylase. The amount of starch hydrolysed in this environment is often quite small as most food does not stay in the mouth long. Once the food bolus reaches the stomach the salivary enzymes are denatured. As a result, digestion predominantly occurs in the small intestine with pancreatic amylase hydrolysing the starch to dextrin and maltose.

Flag Why are starch and glycogen considered storage polysaccharides? Answer by Mike Hayes Confidence votes 4.2KStarch and glycogen are both ways of storing glucose, the energy source for most cells. Starch and glycogen are both polymers of glucose, produced by repeated condensation reactions between glucose molecules. When the glucose is needed, they can be broken down by hydrolysis reactions to release the glucose. The advantages of storing glucose as a polymer are that it prevents the glucose from being used up in other reactions, by taking it out of solution, and it also prevents the glucose from altering the water balance of the cell. If large numbers of glucose molecules were produced they would draw water into the cell by osmosis. Similarly when they were used up water could leave the cell by osmosis. Polysaccharides are insoluble and so do not affect the water balance of the cell.11 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

In fact, polysaccharide is the basic appearance in which majority of the carbohydrates are found naturally. The molecular structure of polysaccharides may be either linear or branched. While the polysaccharides having a linear molecular structure, for instance, cellulose, are usually compacted to develop into an inflexible formation, the branched form of polysaccharide molecules, for instance, gum Arabic, are usually water soluble to form pastes or adhesives. In other words, polysaccharides may also be defined as polymeric carbohydrate arrangements (one or more carbohydrate compounds formed by polymerization). As the term 'poly' suggests, they are developed of repeating structural units (mono-saccharides or disaccharides) that are bind mutually by glycosidic (a class of compounds that give up a sugar and an aglycon during hydrolysis) bonds or attachments. Very frequently, polysaccharides are found to be heterogeneous or assorted enclosing trivial alterations of the repeating structural units. Compared to the monosaccharide building blocks, these macro molecules may possess dissimilar properties depending on their structure. Such polysaccharides are often amorphous (shapeless) and also not soluble in water.

They comprise the carbohydrate storage units for plants and animals, and they can also have structural roles in plants, fungi, insects, and crustaceans. Plants make starches as their storage units, while animals store glycogen. Starches and glycogen are homopolysaccharides, meaning that they have the same type of sugar throughout their chain. The polymeric carbohydrate structure for glycogen and starch is made of chains of glucose linked by glycosidic bonds. These are bonds in which the adjoining –OH groups of glucose join together, forming water as a byproduct. These bonds are easily broken, making starch and glycogen ready sources of energy in the form of glucose. Glycogen has thousands of units of glucose with many branches in its structure.

That is the core reason of showing parental characteristics in the progeny. Most of the eukaryotic organisms have two sets of genes known as maternal genes from mother and the paternal genes from father. Therefore, the genetic situation is known as diploid (two sets of chromosomes). That means all the traits have the genetic components from both mother and father. However, those genes could be either dominant or recessive over each other, and that is where the homozygous and heterozygous characteristics are important to know. Homozygous Homozygous genes are composed of two similar type paternal and maternal genes. However, the dominant and recessive characters are important to consider.

Alleles are inherited through sexual reproduction as the resulting offspring inherit half of their chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. The cells in diploid organisms contain sets of homologous chromosomes, which are paired chromosomes that have the same genes at the same positions along each chromosome pair. Although homologous chromosomes have the same genes, they may have different alleles for those genes. Alleles determine how particular traits are expressed or observed. Example: The gene for seed shape in pea plants exists in two forms, one form or allele for round seed shape (R) and the other for wrinkled seed shape (r).

The answer is by gene transmission. Genes are located on chromosomes and consist of DNA. They are passed from parents to their offspring through reproduction. Genes also contain information about a specific characteristic or trait and can either be dominant or recessive. Each gene has a designated place on every chromosome, called a locus. All copies of a gene are not identical and alternative forms of a gene is called alleles that lead to the alternative or different form of one trait. Alleles are helpful in identification of the two members of a gene pair, which produce opposite contrasting phenotypes, e.g., b is an allele of B and vice versa. When the two alleles of a gene are identical, the individual is homozygous for that trail, and on the other hand, if there are two different alleles, the individual is heterozygous.

Every person has two copies of every gene on autosomal chromosomes, one from mother and one from father. If a genetic trait is recessive, a person needs to inherit two copies of the gene for the trait to be expressed. Thus, both parents have to be carriers of a recessive trait in order for a child to express that trait. Note that \"\"expression\"\" in this sense does not refer to genetic expression (i.e., transcription and translation) of the gene. Instead, \"\"expression\"\" here refers to the observance of the gene within the phenotype. If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance with each child to show the recessive trait in the phenotype. Thus if the parents are closely related (in-breeding) the probability of both having inherited the same gene is increased and as a result the probability of the children showing the recessive trait is increased as well.

Darryl Leja / NHGRIby Regina Bailey Updated April 08, 2018An allele is an alternative form of a gene (one member of a pair) that is located at a specific position on a specific chromosome. These DNA codings determine distinct traits that can be passed on from parents to offspring through sexual reproduction. The process by which alleles are transmitted was discovered by Gregor Mendel and formulated in what is known as Mendel's law of segregation. Examples of Dominant and Recessive Alleles Diploid organisms typically have two alleles for a trait. When allele pairs are the same, they are homozygous. When the alleles of a pair are heterozygous, the phenotype of one trait may be dominant and the other recessive. The dominant allele is expressed and the recessive allele is masked.

Price is on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis. In economics, marginal cost is the change in the opportunity cost that arises when the quantity produced is incremented by one unit, that is, it is the cost of producing one more unit of a good. [ 1] Intuitively, marginal cost at each level of production includes the cost of any additional inputs required to produce the next unit. At each level of production and time period being considered, marginal costs include all costs that vary with the level of production, whereas other costs that do not vary with production are considered fixed. For example, the marginal cost of producing an automobile will generally include the costs of labor and parts needed for the additional automobile and not the fixed costs of the factory that have already been incurred. In practice, marginal analysis is segregated into short and long-run cases, so that, over the long run, all costs (including fixed costs) become marginal. If the cost function is differentiable, the marginal cost is the first derivative of the cost function with respect to the quantity. [ 2]The marginal cost can be a function of quantity if the cost function is non-linear.

We assume the supply of money to be fixed. When the price level increases, more money is needed to make purchases and pay for inputs. With the money supply fixed, the increased demand for it will drive up its price, the rate of interest. These higher rates will decrease the buying of goods with borrowed money, thus decreasing the amount of real output demanded.

What comes below is a step by step explanation of how perfectly competitive firms maximize their profits, both algebraically and graphically, and a discussion of our result. Remember that, in perfectly competitive markets, no individual firm has any influence over the market price (since there are many firms and each is a small player in the overall market). Since each firm's product is identical to that of other firms (i.e. products are homogeneous), all firms face the same price. While firms cannot individually influence the market price through their actions, they can collectively. Therefore, our starting point will be the market demand and supply curves. These are the same demand and supply curves from the earlier material on Consumer Theory (i.e. they do all the same tricks, like demand shifting when there's a change in income, that those other demand and supply curves did).

Specifically, nominal interest rates , which is the monetary return on saving, is determined by the supply and demand of money in an economy. Obviously, there is more than one interest rate in an economy and even more than one interest rate on government-issued securities. These interest rates tend to move in tandem, so it is possible to analyze what happens to interest rates overall by looking at one representative interest rate.03of 09What Is the Price of Money?

Next Up Account Aggregation Demand Theory Aggregation Keynesian Economics BREAKING DOWN 'Aggregate Demand'As a macroeconomic term describing the total demand in an economy for all goods and services at any given price level in a given period, aggregate demand necessarily equals gross domestic product (GDP), at least in purely quantitative terms, because the two share the same equation. As a matter of accounting, it must always be the case that the aggregate demand and GDP increase or decrease together. Technically speaking, aggregate demand only equals GDP in the long run after adjusting for the price level. This is because short-run aggregate demand measures total output for a single nominal price level, not necessarily (and in fact rarely) equilibrium. In nearly all models, however, the price level is assumed to be “one” for simplicity. Other variations in calculations can occur depending on methodological variations or timing issues in gathering statistics. Aggregate demand is by its very nature general, not specific.

It is a graphic illustration of a demand schedule. The demand curve is actually used to assess the behavior in a competitive market and is, therefore, combined with a supply curve to estimate the equilibrium quantity and the equilibrium price of the market. Characteristics of a Demand Curve The demand curve is drawn with quantity on the x-axis or horizontal axis, and price on Y-axis or vertical axis. It usually moves downward from left to right and is said to have a negative association. The negative slope is also known as a law of demand, which shows that consumers will buy more of the product and services as their prices fall. The demand curve is usually related to the marginal utility curve because the price an individual is willing to pay for a certain commodity depends on the utility. Nevertheless, the demand is directly dependent on a consumer’s income while utility is not. Thus, it may change indirectly due to the change in demand for other products and services.

The reasoning used to construct the aggregate supply curve differs from the reasoning used to construct the supply curves for individual goods and services. The supply curve for an individual good is drawn under the assumption that input prices remain constant. As the price of good X rises, sellers' per unit costs of providing good X do not change, and so sellers are willing to supply more of good X‐hence, the upward slope of the supply curve for good X. The aggregate supply curve, however, is defined in terms of the price level. Increases in the price level will increase the price that producers can get for their products and thus induce more output. But an increase in the price will also have a second effect; it will eventually lead to increases in input prices as well, which, ceteris paribus, will cause producers to cut back. So, there is some uncertainty as to whether the economy will supply more real GDP as the price level rises. In order to address this issue, it has become customary to distinguish between two types of aggregate supply curves, the short‐run aggregate supply curve and the long‐run aggregate supply curve .

Keynesian principles have been widely applied in the policies of most industrialized countries, and governmental responsibility for the maintenance of “full employment” is now generally accepted. In the United States the growing influence of the “new economics” led, in 1946, to the passage of the Employment Act, which created the Council of Economic Advisers and committed the federal government “to promote maximum employment, production, and purchasing power. ”In addition to its profound influence on economic policy, the modern theory of income and employment has paved the way for important developments in many areas of economic analysis.

So what happens when a determinant of supply other than price changes? The answer is that, when a non-price determinant of supply changes, the overall relationship between price and quantity supplied is affected. This is represented by a shift of the supply curve, so let's think about how to shift the supply curve.02of 05An Increase in Supply An increase in supply is represented by the diagram above. An increase in supply can either be thought of as a shift to the right of the demand curve or a downward shift of the supply curve. The shift to the right interpretation shows that, when supply increases, producers produce and sell a larger quantity at each price. The downward shift interpretation represents the observation that supply often increases when the costs of production decrease, so producers don't need to get as high of a price as before in order to supply a given quantity of output. ( Note that the horizontal and vertical shifts of a supply curve are generally not of the same magnitude. ) Shifts of the supply curve need not be parallel, but it's helpful (and accurate enough for most purposes) to generally think of them that way for the sake of simplicity.03of 05A Decrease in Supply In contrast, a decrease in supply is represented by the diagram above.

Since Keynes assumes all these four quantities, viz., effective demand (ED), output (Q), income (Y) and employment (N) equal to each other, he regards employment as a function of income. Effective demand is determined by two factors, the aggregate supply function and the aggregate demand function. The aggregate supply function depends on physical or technical conditions of production which do not change in the short-run. ADVERTISEMENTS: Since Keynes assumes the aggregate supply function to be stable, he concentrates his entire attention upon the aggregate demand function to fight depression and unemployment. Thus employment depends on aggregate demand which in turn is determined by consumption demand and investment demand." } ]

Hyperkeratosis Symptoms Hyperkeratosis Causes Hyperkeratosis Treatment What is Hyperkeratosis? This is a skin thickening normally occurring in females with skin that is brown. It is caused by too much buildup of keratin in the outer layers of skin. The thickening of this skin defends it from rubbing, irritation as well as pressure. Most of the types of this condition are painless. While hyperkeratosis can happen anyplace on the body there are several regions that are typically more prone. Hyperkeratosis Symptoms Symptoms of this condition usually depend upon the form of hyperkeratosis. Calluses, corns, as well as plantar warts can be quite painful. In some individual they may just be because of their unsightliness Often hyperkeratosis can just develop on its own, minus any obvious cause, containing areas that are large on the skin." } ]

Warts are viral infections that occur in the skin, changing the appearance of the skin. What's a plantar wart, and how are they different from regular warts? The word \"\"plantar\"\" is a descriptive term relating to where they are located, the bottom (or plantar surface) of the foot. Thus, the term describes where they are located more than describing a unique type of wart. So plantar warts are the same as regular warts? They are the same type of infective virus, yes. But plantar warts are a little different than regular warts because they tend to grow inward from the forces of your weight being placed on it when you stand, and because the skin on the plantar portion of the foot is quite a bit thicker than most other portions of your skin. This makes them harder to treat than warts on other parts of the body.

It is caused by inflammation and usually results fromchronic irritation and pressure from poorly fitting footwear. Description A displacement of two major bones of the foot (hallux valgus) causes bunions, although noteveryone with this displacement will develop the joint swelling and bone overgrowth thatcharacterize a bunion. One of the bones involved is called the first metatarsal bone. This bone is long and slender, with the big toe attached on one end and the other end connected to footbones closer to the ankle. This foot bone is displaced in the direction of the four othermetatarsals connected with the toes. The other bone involved is the big toe itself, which is displaced toward the smaller toes. As the big toe continues to move toward the smaller toes, it may become displaced under or over the second toe.

Images of Wart, Plantar (HPV) (9)Close Video Overview Warts are growths of the skin and mucous membranes (the mouth or genitals) that are caused by over 100 types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus causes thickening of the top skin layer. A plantar wart occurs on the sole of the foot. It can look and feel like a callus. Plantar warts can be small, or they can grow to cover most of the sole of the foot. They are usually painless and go away on their own, sometimes taking a few months to resolve (but can take up to 2 years). Warts are usually acquired from person-to-person contact. The virus is not highly contagious but can cause an infection by entering through a small break in the skin.

It consists of thirty-two canvases, each measuring 20 inches (51 cm) in height × 16 inches (41 cm) in width and each consisting of a painting of a Campbell's Soup can—one of each of the canned soup varieties the company offered at the time. [ 1] The individual paintings were produced by a printmaking method—the semi-mechanized screen printing process, using a non- painterly style. Campbell's Soup Cans' reliance on themes from popular culture helped to usher in pop art as a major art movement in the United States. Warhol, a commercial illustrator who became a successful author, publisher, painter, and film director, showed the work on July 9, 1962, in his first one-man gallery exhibition as a fine artist [3] [4] in the Ferus Gallery of Los Angeles, California. The exhibition marked the West Coast debut of pop art. [ 5] The combination of the semi-mechanized process, the non-painterly style, and the commercial subject initially caused offense, as the work's blatantly mundane commercialism represented a direct affront to the technique and philosophy of abstract expressionism. In the United States the abstract expressionism art movement was dominant during the post- war period, and it held not only to \"\"fine art\"\" values and aesthetics but also to a mystical inclination." }, { "docid": "D2343852#0", "title": "http://www.biblical-baby-names.com/meaning-of-andrew.html\n.", "text": "Name Meaning and Biblical Context of Andrew Name Andrew ( Add to Favourite List? ) Gender Meaning Manliness.

These two famously large preaching personalities had parted ways years back amid a divorce between Charles and his wife, Andy’s mom. Some say that Charles had an affair that broke up his marriage and never even missed a day in the pulpit through the whole thing. Some say that his mom had literally lost her mind and it was all her fault. The truth is something that most of us will never know exactly what broke up the marriage of the two time president of the Southern Baptist Convention, and how it tore apart his family – which is probably right given that it’s not really our business. But I’ve always kind of wondered. CNN ran a story yesterday that gives a rare peek inside the relationship between Andy Stanley and his famous father, how it played out, and how they stuck together. It’s a pretty moving story and it’s well worth the read.

Another big influence would have to be my Dad – he took me to see Rush which was my first concert ever so he definitely played a huge role in entering music into my life.

Tupac Shakur is still alive and kicking somewhere, waiting to make his comeback, when there are autopsy photos of his bullet‐riddled corpse on the Internet? Jim Morrison is currently going by Mr. Mojo Rising and residing in some remote location in Africa and enchanting the beautiful topless tribal native women with his beautiful poetry… There is no shortage of crackpot theories about dead celebrities faking their deaths in this world. And since I have always been a firm subscriber of the “If you can’t beat them, join them” mentality, I too have decided to add a celebrity name to said crackpot theories list: Andy Kaufman. Yes, there I said it. I believe Andy Kaufman‐‐yes that Andy Kaufman, the guy from “Taxi\"\"‐‐faked his death in 1984.

With funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, he orchestrated the planning, design, and construction of the observatory, but did not live to see its commissioning. The Hale was groundbreaking for its time, with double the diameter of the next largest telescope and pioneering the use of many technologies such as vapor deposited aluminum and low thermal expansionglass. It is still in active use. It was the largest optical telescope in the world from its completion in 1948 until the BTA-6 was built in 1976, and the second largest until the construction of the Keck 1 in 1993.

These telescopes were very successful, leading to the rapid advance in understanding of the scale of the Universe through the 1920s, and demonstrating to visionaries like Hale the need for even larger collectors. The chief optical designer for Hale's previous 100-inch telescope was George Willis Ritchey, who intended the new telescope to be of Ritchey–Chrétien design. Compared to the usual parabolic primary, this design would have provided sharper images over a larger usable field of view.

Water nymph by John Collier, 1923. Ethereal beings is a denomination that characterizes entities not made of ordinary matter. Despite the fact that they are pictured essentially as nonphysical, they do interact with the material universe and travel between the mystical and the everyday world. Given the lack of scientific evidence of their existence, science does not acknowledge them as factual, though paranormal researchers and psychics claim them as real. Several belief systems and occult theories describe these entities as ghosts, mythological entities, nature spirits, angels, thoughtforms, jinns, [1] [2] and they are mentioned in religious, folkloristic, and magic texts. Since the 19th century, the existence of immaterial beings has been claimed by various spiritualist philosophies as well, and they are found in the popular imagination and represented in movies, TV series and cartoons.

The ‘versed sine’ is 1-cosθ, and the ‘half-versed-sine’ (1-cosθ)/2 = sin² (θ/2) as used above. It was published by R W Sinnott in Sky and Telescope , 1984, though known about for much longer by navigators. ( For the curious, c is the angular distance in radians, and a is the square of half the chord length between the points). A (surprisingly marginal) performance improvement can be obtained, of course, by factoring out the terms which get squared.

Understanding which factors influence organic search visibility on Amazon is just the first in approaching this challenge. But what are the practical applications? Last week, CPC Strategy’s Pat Petriello, Head of Marketplace Strategy hosted a live course on how sellers can actually manipulate the factors that most profoundly influence Amazon SEO. There were a lot of questions we didn’t get a chance to touch on, so here they are now with answers from Sprigley Allan, Head of Amazon Program Development, at CPC Strategy: Q. How many clicks/impressions are enough to get a clue of the value of a keyword before you pause it? A. It’s not so much a magic number for clicks or impressions about when you should take action on a keyword – it’s how much spend has that keyword accrued relative to the ASP, selling price of the item and the advertising cost of sale. This could also be relative to your cost of sale goals. Q. How do you track paid traffic to Amazon without an intermediary landing page? A. You can’t really track conversions – you can only track sessions and organic ranking. Q. So you recommend automatic vs. manual campaigns if your content is optimized?" }, { "docid": "D601415#0", "title": "http://asintool.com/includes/redirect.php?convertfrom=asin-to-upc.php&=Submit+Query\nAmazon ASIN to UPC Lookup Export Tool", "text": "Register to upload your data file.

XAML is a general purpose object instantiation language and to find out what this means - read on. XAML is a, mostly declarative, object instantiation language – that is it’s a way of describing using XML what objects should be created and how they should be initialised before your program starts running. If you keep this in mind then XAML is becomes a lot more transparent and easier to understand. Its use in conjunction with WPF is just one of its many possible applications and indeed it has started to appear in other places – Windows Workflow for example and of course it is the UI design language for Windows Store apps i.e. Win RT apps. To explain exactly what XAML is this article works with custom classes that have nothing to do with WPF so that we can find out about XAML in a completely general context that will help you understand all of its uses potential and current. Declaritive Instantiation We could start with a non-WPF project to prove how general XAML is we but this would waste a lot of time adding references and “usings”. So let’s start with a simple WPF Application using Visual Studio Community Edition say. You don’t need to modify any of the generated code but you do need to add a simple custom class with which to try out XAML:public class My Class { public My Class () { } }All that is necessary for a class to be instantiable by XAML is that it has a parameterless constructor and it can’t be a nested class.

Jack quests to travel back in time and defeat Aku before he can take over the world. The series premiered on August 10, 2001, with a TV movie called The Premiere Movie, before ending in its fourth season on September 25, 2004, without concluding the story. A revival was produced twelve years later, resulting in a fifth season that concluded the series.

In the 20th century, the town had a strong commercial fishing industry, which gradually turned to sport fishing and tourism. For many years, commercial boats provided regular service to the islands and to Kenora, Ontario, at the north end of Lake of the Woods. Several flying services carried sport fishermen and tourists to lodges and fishing camps in Lake of the Woods until economics and increasing regulations drove them out of business.

Context This lesson is the first of a four-part series on static electricity. These lessons are meant to help students understand that static electricity is a phenomenon that involves positive and negative charges. An understanding of static electricity must begin with the concept that all matter is composed of atoms, and all atoms are composed of subatomic particles among which are the charged particles known as electrons and protons. Protons carry a positive charge (+), and electrons carry a negative charge (-). The number of electrons in an atom—ranging from one up to about 100—matches the number of charged particles, or protons, in the nucleus, and determines how the atom will link to other atoms to form molecules. Electrically neutral particles (neutrons) in the nucleus add to its mass but do not affect the number of electrons and so have almost no effect on the atom's links to other atoms (its chemical behavior). To further understanding about static electricity, you should help your students to make connections between their day-to-day experiences with static electricity—such as lightning, receiving shocks after shuffling across a carpet, taking clothes that cling to each other out of the dryer, combing their hair in the wintertime—with the static activities conducted in the classroom. Ask them to try to describe and explain their everyday experiences with static in the terms they are learning: repel, attract, static charge, electron transfer. It is important that students grasp the concept that oppositely charged objects attract each other and like charged objects repel each other." }, { "docid": "D686810#0", "title": "http://jesus-is-savior.com/Evolution%20Hoax/old_earth-young_man.htm\n.", "text": "\"Up until recently I had remained neutral in my position of a Young Earth verses an Old Earth view.

Basically, proponents of an Old Earth view believe that the earth was created by God—did not evolve—has existed for millions (if not billions) of years—and that the human race is young, having only been in existence for 6,000 years (since 4,004 BC). Dr. Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) and Pastor Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951) believed this and so do I. This is often called the 'Gap Principle' (that is, a time gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2). However, I do not, nor have I ever, believed the bogus fraud of Evolution. Nothing has evolved.

Contents [ hide ]1 Background2 Conversion table3 Usage of the systems4 Standard sizes of body piercings by location5 Units and notation6 See also7 External links8 Notes Background [ edit]Main article: American Wire Gauge § Nomenclature and abbreviations in electrical distribution Items of body piercing jewelry have an important common factor: the diameter of the part of the item of jewelry where it will rest in the piercing site. With the wearing of European-traditional kinds of earrings, that thickness is not an issue, because jewelry is made to use only thin wire for support, and the wearer need only have a narrow piercing hole to accommodate it. But with body jewelry, there is a wide variety of possible sizes, and wearers generally want jewelry that is the same size as their piercing site. Some wearers want increasingly larger sizes to deliberately stretch the hole. So that wearers can choose the size they want, there are standards for body jewelry sizes, used by jewelry makers and sellers. Generally, the system of gauge-and-inches is used: In gauge notation, jewelry less than 1⁄ 2 ″ thick is typically measured in a system originally devised for measuring wire thickness. A gauge number denotes a thickness on a standardized scale which, for most purposes, starts at 20g (0.812 mm thick— often used for the posts for nose studs ), and increases in thickness (as the gauge number decreases) to 0g, then 00g, and rarely goes any further as these thicknesses come closer and closer to 1⁄ 2 ″. From there, sizes of 1⁄ 2 ″ and thicker are always specified in fractions of an inch. ( But note that sizes thinner than 1⁄ 2 ″ are also sometimes specified as fractions of an inch; see the Conversion Table to see how these interleave with gauges. ) Even though the gauge system was originally meant for wire, it is now used regardless of whether an item of body jewelry is an actual wire, or is instead a wooden plug, a plastic ring, or any other material." }, { "docid": "D836807#0", "title": "http://www.firehouse.com/article/10504968/300-plus-abbreviations-acronyms-every-firefighter-should-know\n300 Plus Abbreviations & Acronyms Every Firefighter Should Know", "text": "\"300 Plus Abbreviations & Acronyms Every Firefighter Should Know We are expected to use clear text when talking, to ensure the sender understands our message.

They are the 'rungs' in the DNA ladder. Learn how these ring-shaped molecules spell out your genes and pair with each other in this lesson. Nitrogenous Bases If you think of DNA as a twisted ladder, nitrogenous bases are the 'rungs.' They are shaped like flat rings stacked on top of each other in the middle of the DNA strand. Their function is to spell out the sequences that we call genes; you can think of the bases as letters and the genes they make as words or sentences. There are four bases in DNA, and each one is different than the others, making four 'letters.' Amazingly, this is enough variety to spell out all the genes in all living things! The related molecule RNA also has four bases: three are the same as in DNA and one is different." }, { "docid": "D3127973#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Inflammatory+response\ninflammatory response", "text": "\"inflammatory response Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia.

The most prominentchange is a dramatic increase of acute phase proteins in the serum, especially C-reactiveprotein. Also seen are fever, increased vascular permeability, and a variety of metabolic andpathologic changes.anamnestic response the rapid reappearance of antibody in the blood following introduction of an antigen to which the subject had previously developed a primary immune response.auditory brainstem response ABR; a special hearing test that tracks the nerve signals arising in the inner ear as they travel along the auditory nerve to the brain region responsible for hearing. A small speaker placed near the ear makes a clicking sound, and special electrodes record thenerve signal as it travels. The test can determine where along the nerve there is a lesionresponsible for sensorineural hearing loss. It is often used for individuals with such loss in justone ear; this is often caused by a benign tumor along the auditory nerve, but if the ABR reading is normal in a given region, the chances of there being a tumor there are small. This test canalso be used on infants since it requires no conscious response from the person being tested.autoimmune response the immune response in which antibodies or immune lymphoid cells areproduced against the body's own tissues. See also autoimmune disease.conditioned response see conditioned response.dysfunctional ventilatory weaning response a nursing diagnosis adopted by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, defined as inability of a patient to adjust to loweredlevels of mechanical ventilator support, which interrupts and prolongs the process of weaning.

L. Neill Introduction1 The A to Z of Medical terms INTRODUCTION This is now the 3rd edition of the original glossary of anatomical and histological (microscopic anatomy) terms and their etymology derivation where relevant, their word roots, prefixes, suffixes and their pronunciation - this guide and common explanation of some terms are maintained in red. Due to strong feedback other common medical terminology used in health studies are also included, along with a limited number of pathological terms, particularly dermatological descriptive terms. Pathology uses a vast array of words from different origins and although there is a trend to make the terms more aetiological than descriptive - these descriptive terms are commonplace and used extensively - it is these common terms which are now included here. The whole structure of the book has been updated and revised but the same tables of organs, word roots, prefixes and suffixes, organizations and abbreviations are maintained and expanded, as these are one of the book’s most popular features included but with more histology particularly with respect to laboratory preparation and specific stains. The histology atlas, present on the supportive sites for all the A to Zs and well used by students and professionals alike, is in the process of becoming a complete book in itself, but in the meantime some of its main points are included here, particularly the more practical aspects.

( November 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Self-actualization is a term that has been used in various psychology theories, often in slightly different ways. The term was originally introduced by the organismic theorist Kurt Goldstein for the motive to realize one's full potential. Expressing one's creativity, quest for spiritual enlightenment, pursuit of knowledge, and the desire to give to and/or positively transform society are examples of self-actualization. In Goldstein's view, it is the organism's master motive, the only real motive: \"\"the tendency to actualize itself as fully as possible is the basic drive... the drive of self-actualization.\"\" [ 1] Carl Rogers similarly wrote of \"\"the curative force in psychotherapy – man's tendency to actualize himself, to become his potentialities ... to express and activate all the capacities of the organism.\"\" [ 2] The concept was brought most fully to prominence in Abraham Maslow 's hierarchy of needs theory as the final level of psychological development that can be achieved when all basic and mental needs are essentially fulfilled and the \"\"actualization\"\" of the full personal potential takes place, [3] although he adapted this viewpoint later on in life, and saw it more flexibly.

From the beginning humanistic psychologists have cared deeply about what it means to be fully human, and have sought pathways and technologies that assist human beings to reach full humanness. Humanistic psychologists criticized the mainstream psychological schools of the first half of the twentieth century for proclaiming a diminished model of human nature. Their strivings for a new and better concept of humanity provided much of the motivation for the early flourishing of humanistic psychology. What Does it Mean to be Fully Human?

Maslow remains famous for his contributions to psychology in terms of the theory he proposed otherwise known as The Hierarchy of Needs. He is also known the empathetic, compassionate founder of Humanistic Psychology which entails the focus on every individual’s potential and stresses upon significance of growth and self actualization. Humanistic Psychology, according to Maslow and his kind, states that people are innately good natured. According to his theory, mental and social disorders result as a deviation from a human’s natural ‘goodness. ’Abraham Maslow migrated from Russia; he was the first child among seventh others in his Jewish family. In his notes, he mentioned his childhood as lonesome and rather abysmal and that he enjoyed spending his time perusing fiction and nonfiction in the library. Initially Maslow intended on studying law at City College in New York but he decided to change to University of Wisconsin where he developed interest in psychology. It was in Wisconsin where Maslow found a great mentor and guide in his doctoral advisor Harry Harlow.

This view argues that you are free to choose your own behavior, rather than reacting to environmental stimuli and reinforcers. Issues dealing with self-esteem, self-fulfillment, and needs are paramount. The major focus is to facilitate personal development. Two major theorists associated with this view are Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow. Carl Rogers feels that each person operates from a unique frame of reference in terms of building Self Regard or their self concept. Self Concept is one's own belief about themselves.

Maslow (1943, 1954) stated that people are motivated to achieve certain needs and that some needs take precedence over others. Our most basic need is for physical survival, and this will be the first thing that motivates our behavior. Once that level is fulfilled the next level up is what motivates us, and so on. Deficiency needs vs. growth needs This five-stage model can be divided into deficiency needs and growth needs. The first four levels are often referred to as deficiency needs ( D-needs ), and the top level is known as growth or being needs ( B-needs ). Deficiency needs arise due to deprivation and are said to motivate people when they are unmet. Also, the motivation to fulfill such needs will become stronger the longer the duration they are denied. For example, the longer a person goes without food, the more hungry they will become. Maslow (1943) initially stated that individuals must satisfy lower level deficit needs before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs." }, { "docid": "D368521#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_theory\nPersonality psychology", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Personality theory)navigation search Part of a series on Psychology Outline History Subfields Basic types [hide]Abnormal Behavioral genetics Biological Cognitive / Cognitivism Comparative Cross-cultural Cultural Differential Developmental Evolutionary Experimental Mathematical Neuropsychology Personality Positive Quantitative Social Applied psychology [show]Lists [show]Psychology portalv t e A picture of the depictions of personality dimensions.

Personality also predicts human reactions to other people, problems, and stress. [ 2] [3] Gordon Allport (1937) described two major ways to study personality: the nomothetic and the idiographic.

Maslow is a humanistic psychologist. Humanists do not believe that human beings are pushed and pulled by mechanical forces, either of stimuli and reinforcements (behaviorism) or of unconscious instinctual impulses (psychoanalysis).

Essentially, these terms refer the same approach in psychology. Sometimes the humanistic approach is called phenomenological. This means that personality is studied from the point of view of the individual’s subjective experience. For Rogers the focus of psychology is not behavior ( Skinner ), the unconscious ( Freud ), thinking ( Wundt) or the human brain but how individuals perceive and interpret events. Rogers is therefore important because he redirected psychology towards the study of the self. The humanistic approach in psychology developed as a rebellion against what some psychologists saw as the limitations of the behaviorist and psychodynamic psychology. The humanistic approach is thus often called the “third force” in psychology after psychoanalysis and behaviorism (Maslow, 1968). Humanism rejected the assumptions of the behaviorist perspective which is characterized as deterministic, focused on reinforcement of stimulus-response behavior and heavily dependent on animal research. Humanistic psychology also rejected the psychodynamic approach because it is also deterministic, with unconscious irrational and instinctive forces determining human thought and behavior." }, { "docid": "D3479938#0", "title": "http://www.psy.dmu.ac.uk/drhiles/HPpioneers.htm\n.", "text": "\"Pioneers of Humanistic-Existential Psychology Carl Jung (1875-1961)Carl Jung is possibly one of the most important figures in psychology, and yet he remains controversial. For many psychologists he is little more than a historical curiosity. Someone who worked with Freud in the early days of the founding of psychoanalysis, and then went his own way, founded his own school of psychology, became rather eccentric, and is worthy of only the most cursory of mentions in introductory text books. To other psychologists, he is possibly the most complete psychologist that there has ever been. He made radical and significant contributions to all four of the major areas of psychology.

For example:- (i) in behavioural psychology , his research on word association, was fundamental to the development of the lie-detector test, and was recognized by the award of an honorary degree by Clark University, USA, on a visit in 1909; (ii) in psychodynamic psychology, he was second only to Freud in status, and was elected the first president of the International Psychoanalytic Association; he developed his own school of Analytical Psychology , and pushed the boundaries of psychodynamic theory much further than Freud ever could have expected, indeed further than Freud was prepared to accept; (iii) in humanistic psychology, it is clear that Jung�s work anticipated all of the major themes of the humanistic-existential approach, especially his concepts of \"\"Self\"\" (an integrating principle of the human psyche), active imagination and human consciousness; and (iv) in transpersonal psychology, Jung was a pioneer of this field for some fifty of so years before it was ever recognized as a new branch of psychology. Indeed, the work of some of the most important current researchers in the transpersonal field, i.e. Stanislav Grof, Michael Washburn, etc., is almost entirely dependent on the theoretical ideas of Jung.

Maslow’s pyramid describes human motivations from the most basic to the most advanced. According to experts, Maslow’s time-tested pyramid, first proposed in the 1940s, needed to be updated to reflect the last 50 years of research. A team of psychologists, including two from Arizona State University, recast the pyramid. In doing so, they have taken on one of psychology’s iconic symbols and have generated some controversy along the way. The revamp of Maslow’s pyramid reflects new findings and theory from fields like neuroscience, developmental psychology and evolutionary psychology, said Douglas Kenrick, an ASU professor of psychology and lead author of the paper, “Renovating the pyramid of needs: Contemporary extensions built upon ancient foundations. ”Despite being one of psychology’s most memorable images, Maslow’s pyramid hasn’t always been supported by empirical research, said Steven Neuberg, an ASU Foundation professor and coauthor of the paper. “Within the psychological sciences, the pyramid was increasingly viewed as quaint and oldfashioned, and badly in need of updating,” Neuberg added. “It was based on some great ideas, several of which are worth preserving,” Kenrick said. “But it missed out on some very basic facts about human nature, facts which weren’t well understood in Maslow’s time, but were established by later research and theory at the interface of psychology, biology and anthropology." }, { "docid": "D1876571#0", "title": "http://www.positive-parenting-ally.com/abraham-maslow.html\nAbraham Maslow Biography: The Father of Humanistic Psychology & Self Actualization Theory", "text": "\"Abraham Maslow Biography: The Father of Humanistic Psychology & Self Actualization Theory Abraham Maslow was one of the strongest proponents of the humanistic movement in psychology and also one of the biggest critics of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. The Positive Basis of Maslow's Theory Maslow viewed human beings in a very positive light and believed that everyone has a natural tendency to pursue progress and achieve their highest potential. Maslow argued that we are all innately good, kind, and virtuous, and that psychologists had spent far too much time focusing on the negative aspects of humanity. He said,\"\"Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be. \"\" While he believed that parenting and childhood experiences were vitally important, he also proposed that we are responsible for our own development and that we can consciously choose how to shape our future. Despite Universal Needs, We are All Individuals Yes, we are all born with what Maslow called \"\"instinctoid needs\"\" or \"\"innate needs\"\" that drive us to grow, develop, and do whatever is necessary to fulfill these needs. BUT, he was also one of the first people to suggest that individuals are unique beings. In a time dominated by the stimulus-response theory, this idea was quite shocking. Behaviorists such as John B. Watson denied individuality but believed that you could create any behavior you wanted by using the right punishments and rewards. Still others argued that everything about personality was biological and had nothing to do with social environment or personal experience." }, { "docid": "D828#0", "title": "https://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/midterm-quizzes/deck/16587559\nPopular Study Materials from Health And Human Services 105", "text": "\"a lab tech is speaking loudly about the reason a patient is having a blood test outside patient's door.

Only relevant to the common reductio ad absurdum, not the proof by contradiction: However, Reductio ad absurdum is also often used to describe any argument where a conclusion is derived in the belief that everyone (or at least those being argued against) will accept that it is false or absurd. This is a comparatively weak form of reductio, as the decision to reject the premise requires that the conclusion is accepted as being absurd. Although a formal contradiction is by definition absurd (unacceptable), a weak reductio ad absurdum argument can be rejected simply by accepting the purportedly absurd conclusion.

Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment At a glance: About: Ascites is a medical condition in which fluid builds up in the abdomen. Causes: There are a number of causes including heart failure, kidney or liver disease, ruptured bladder, cancer and bleeding disorders. Diagnosis: Baseline tests, ultrasound, and sometimes biopsy. Treatment: Address the cause and removing the fluid which may include abdominocentesis and diuretics. What is ascites? Also known as abdominal effusion, ascites (pronounced ass-eye-tees), is a condition in cats characterised by the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. Most commonly a pale/straw coloured fluid known as transudates (fluids with a low protein and cell content that pass through a membrane or tissue) or exudates (fluid with a high protein content containing cells and cellular substances from the blood vessels), however other fluids such as chyle (highly fatty lymphatic fluid draining from the intestine), blood and urine can also occur. The abdominal cavity is located below the chest and is separated by the diaphragm, a thin sheet of muscle and tendon. Several organs are contained within the abdomen including the liver, spleen, stomach, pancreas, and kidneys." } ]

What medical conditions can involve problems with this part of the body? A pleural effusion is the buildup of excess fluid in the pleural cavity, the fluid-filled space surrounding the lungs. It is one of several disorders affecting the pleural cavity and one that can directly interfere with the expansion of the lungs and a person’s ability to breathe. The accumulation of fluids can range from anything from a few extra ounces to several liters. Viral infection and congestive heart failure are among the many causes. Similar conditions involve the buildup of air or blood in the pleural space. Anatomy of the Pleural Cavity The pleural cavity is the space that lies between the pleura, the two thin membranes that line and surround the lungs. The pleural cavity contains a small amount of liquid known as pleural fluid, which provides lubrication as the lungs expand and contract during respiration. The pleural cavity consists of the parietal pleura attached to the chest wall and the visceral pleura attached to the lungs." }, { "docid": "D940422#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/normotensive+hydrocephalus\nhydrocephalus", "text": "\"hydrocephalus (redirected from normotensive hydrocephalus) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.

Hydrocephalus comes from two Greek words: hydrosmeans water and cephalus means head. There are two main varieties of hydrocephalus: congenital and acquired. An obstruction of thecerebral aqueduct (aqueductal stenosis) is the most frequent cause of congenital hydrocephalus. Acquired hydrocephalus may result from spina bifida, intraventricular hemorrhage, meningitis, head trauma, tumors, and cysts. Description Hydrocephalus is the result of an imbalance between the formation and drainage of cerebrospinalfluid (CSF). Approximately 500 milliliters (about a pint) of CSF is formed within the brain eachday, by epidermal cells in structures collectively called the choroid plexus. These cells linechambers called ventricles that are located within the brain.

It normally contains only a thin film of peritoneal fluid, which consists of water, electrolytes, leukocytes and antibodies. This fluid acts as a lubricant, enabling free movement of the abdominal viscera, and the antibodies in the fluid fight infection. While the peritoneal cavity is ordinarily filled with only a thin film of fluid, it is referred to as a potential space because excess fluid can accumulate in it, resulting in the clinical condition of ascites (see clinical applications). In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the peritoneal cavity – its subdivisions, structure and clinical correlations. By Teach Me Series Ltd (2018)Fig 1 – The peritoneal cavity is a potential space between the parietal and visceral peritoneum. Subdivisions of the Peritoneal Cavity The peritoneal cavity can be divided into the greater and lesser peritoneal sacs. The greater sac comprises the majority of the peritoneal cavity. The lesser sac (also known as the omental bursa) is smaller and lies posterior to the stomach and lesser omentum.

The stomach is a hollow organ that fills with food after eating. Its walls are able to stretch and the entire stomach can distend to several times its size when empty. This distention is usually not visible from the exterior as space within the abdominal cavity allows for the stomach to expand. The term ‘stomach’ is also commonly used, and quite incorrectly, to refer to the abdominal cavity as a whole. Yet the stomach only occupies a small portion of the abdominal cavity, mainly sitting in the left upper quadrant. The term ‘distended stomach’ is therefore often used to refer to a distended abdomen. The abdominal cavity is covered by the abdominal wall comprising skin, subcutaneous tissue including variable amounts of fat, muscles and and inner abdominal lining known as the peritoneum. There is no skeletal system offering a rigid framework to protect the abdominal cavity. Therefore the abdomen can expand with accumulation of fluid, blood, gas or any mass within the cavity." }, { "docid": "D2929636#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/urine+peritonitis\nperitonitis", "text": "\"peritonitis (redirected from urine peritonitis) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia .

The general approach to abdominal bloating is to consider the 5 F’s which are : F latus F at F luid F eces F etus Common Causes of Swollen Stomach Flatus In this case, the abdominal distention is due to gas in the gastrointestinal tract. Gas in the gut may be due to : Gas from swallowing of air ( aerophagia) – this gas contains mainly oxygen and nitrogen and is more likely to be found in the esophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine. Gas from bacterial action on food – this as contains mainly carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen and is more likely to be found in the small intestine and large intestine. Gas that diffuses from the blood into the gastrointestinal tract – mainly nitrogen. At any time, the gut contains less than 200 ml of gas because the gas is usually passed out as a belch, flatus or certain elements like hydrogen are even absorbed into the blood and passed out through the lungs. However, the total movement of gas in and out of the gut can be between 7 to 10 liters per day. Only about 600 to 700ml of this gas is passed out as flatus (average 15 expulsions per day).

Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and internal organs. The condition can be life-threatening if not identified and treated promptly. There are three types of peritonitis: Spontaneous peritonitis Secondary peritonitis Dialysis-associated peritonitis What causes peritonitis? Spontaneous peritonitis is caused by an infection in the blood that occurs when irritant fluid accumulates in the space between the layers of the peritoneum. This is most commonly one of the complications of cirrhosis, especially alcoholic cirrhosis. However, it is also sometimes related to peptic ulcer disease, appendicitis or diverticulitis. Secondary peritonitis is a chronic or acute inflammation caused by bacteria entering the peritoneum following perforation of the gastrointestinal tract (for example, ruptured appendix). The irritant can be gastric juice, small bowel contents or faeces from the colon.

Definition The organs of the abdomen are contained in a sac or membrane called the peritoneum. Normally the peritoneal cavity contains only a small amount of fluid, although in women this can vary (by 20ml, or less than an ounce) depending on the menstrual cycle. \"\" Ascites is the term used to denote increased fluid in the peritoneal cavity, a situation that is not normal. There are a variety of diseases that can cause the fluid to accumulate and the reasons that the ascites occurs may be different for each disease. Cancer that spreads to the peritoneum can cause direct leakage of fluid, while other illnesses cause an excess accumulation of water and sodium in the body. This fluid can eventually leak into the peritoneal cavity. Most commonly, ascites is due to liver disease and the inability of that organ to produce enough protein to retain fluid in the bloodstream as well as obstruction to flow through the scarred cirrhotic liver.

By craig | September 3, 2012Ascites and Edema In patients with chronic diseases of the liver, fibrosis (scarring) of the liver often occurs. When the scarring becomes advanced, the condition is called cirrhosis of the liver. Ascites is excessive fluid that accumulates in the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity. It is a complication of cirrhosis and appears as an abdominal bulge. The peritoneum is the inner lining of the abdominal cavity, which also folds over to cover the organs inside the abdomen such as the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and intestines. Ascites develops because of a combination of two factors:increased pressure in the vein system that carries blood from the stomach, intestines, and spleen to the liver (portal hypertension); anda low level of the protein albumin in the blood (hypoalbuminemia). Albumin, which is the predominant protein in the blood and which helps maintain blood volume, is reduced in cirrhosis primarily because the damaged liver is not able to produce enough of it. Other consequences of portal hypertension include dilated veins in the esophagus (varices), prominent veins on the abdomen, and an enlarged spleen.

It can cause blindness due to detachment of the sight receptors in the eyes (retina) and bleeding. Kidney problems are related to protein loss due to damage of the filtering system by the high blood pressure. Loss of the protein antithrombin III, which prevents clots, can cause thromboembolism (clots). Heart problems are associated with hypertrophy (thickening of the heart muscle) and failure due to the pumping of the heart against the increased pressure. Glomerulopathy is damage to the filtering system of the kidney, causing protein loss. Up to 75% of dogs with Cushing’s have some protein loss, although most do not have severe complications. Proteins, especially albumin, are important in holding fluid within the blood vessels, and excessive loss can cause fluid accumulation in body cavities, underneath the skin, and the lungs. There are other proteins, such as antithrombin III, which are important in helping the body to prevent clotting within the blood vessels." }, { "docid": "D618381#0", "title": "http://www.medicinenet.com/pleurisy/article.htm\nPleurisy (Pleuritis)", "text": "\"Pleurisy facts Pleurisy involves inflammation of the tissue layers (pleura) lining the lungs and inner chest wall. Pleurisy is often associated with the accumulation of fluid between the two layers of pleura, known as pleural effusion. Pleurisy is caused by a variety of conditions, such asinfections,tuberculosis ( TB ),congestive heart failure,cancer,pulmonary embolism, andcollagen vascular diseases. Symptoms of pleurisy include pain in the chest, which is aggravated by breathing in, shortness of breath, and local tenderness. This pain can effect the chest cavity in either the front or back of the cavity, and sometimes patient's have back or shoulder pain. The diagnosis of pleurisy is made by the characteristic chest pain and physical findings on examination of the chest. The sometimes-associated pleural accumulation of fluid ( pleural effusion) can be seen by imaging studies ( chest X-ray, ultrasound, or CT). Analysis of pleural fluid aspirated from the chest can help determine the cause of the pleurisy. Treatment of the underlying conditions is key to the proper management of pleurisy.

The fluid is mostly water with electrolytes, antibodies, white blood cells and other biochemicals. What Is the Purpose of Peritoneal Fluid? The primary function of peritoneal fluid is to reduce the friction between the abdominal organs as they move around during digestion. In a healthy person, there is normally a small amount of peritoneal fluid present in the peritoneal cavity. However, some problems in the body can cause excess fluid to accumulate in the cavity. This fluid is called ascitic fluid and leads to ascites, one of the complications of cirrhosis. How Does Ascites Develop? Ascites is most common in patients who have diseases affecting the liver. Damage to the liver can cause high blood pressure in the veins that deliver blood to the liver, a condition known as portal hypertension." } ]

While Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk called it a \"\"real stretch\"\" to say that a deal has been reached between the two teams, Schefter says \"\"it would take two seconds\"\" if the two teams can agree which one will pay Kaepernick's $11.9 million salary. Denver has offered to pay $7 million of the salary, but the remaining $4.9 million is reportedly the sticking point. The Broncos don't want to pay the rest and want the 49ers to front some of the bill, while San Francisco doesn't want to spend money on a player it trades away. The Broncos made a push to try and get the young quarterback at the end of March, as Kaepernick and John Elway met on Thursday, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Kaepernick asked the 49ers for a trade and his agents received permission to seek one. An early report said that the 49ers and Broncos have decided on the compensation, and restructuring the quarterback's contract is the task at hand now. But it's been some time since that early report, and a lot has happened, including Kaepernick getting his base salary guaranteed for 2016 even if he is traded. The only way to prevent his 2016 team from paying him $11.9 million in base salary is to re-do his contract. Kaepernick has had an odd career trajectory thus far, and what happens next is one if the more interesting questions of the offseason." }, { "docid": "D854528#0", "title": "https://www.celebritynetworth.com/category/richest-businessmen/\nRichest Businessmen", "text": "Richest Businessmen These are the richest businessmen in the world!

By Ryan Van Bibber Updated Jun 14, 2015, 9:34am EDTShare NFL free agency officially started Tuesday, March 10 at 4 p.m. ET. Teams didn't wait that long to get a head start on the offseason. General managers have busied themselves making roster cuts, negotiating with their own free agents and creating a little buzz on the rumor mill with trade talk. The wildest news cycle in recent NFL history got underway with the completely unforeseen deal sending Le Sean Mc Coy from the Eagles to the Bills in exchange for Kiko Alonso. It was off the races after that. The free agency tampering window, er, negotiating period, opened on Saturday, March 7, and the rumor mill has been cranking overtime since then, interrupted only by a long string of tweets from the various NFL insiders delivering shocking news about trades and signings and contracts and everything else that makes pro football's version of the hot stove so darn fun. At any rate, it can be a lot to monitor when your Twitter feed is moving fast enough to generate electricity and one report would seemingly contradict the next one. That's why we have our handy rumor tracker, for you, the excited fan who only wants to see your team do something to make itself a little better next season.

For example, if you already have a citibank credit card, when you log into masterpass you’ll be able to sign in using your citibank username/password. Masterpass will then retrieve all your citi related bank cards and allow you to pick one as well as take care of the billing and shipping address (the default shipping address will be your billing address). Pros: Don’t have to create a new account, already have my billing info/shipping info Cons: If I have multiple banks that I have accounts with I have to manage/log-in with multiple accounts Visa Checkout doesn’t work with the bank issuer at all. The user signs up for Visa checkout and can add all their cards. The user is also not limited to Visa cards, they can actually add Mastercard, Discover, Amex etc. Pros: User has a single account for all their cards.

FRANCHISE: A franchise is a right granted to an individual or group to market a company's goods or services within a certain territory or location. The franchisor (the company owner) sells the rights to the franchisee and then typically receives a fee for ongoing support, therefore having a vested interest in the success of each franchise. Franchising began back in the 1850's when Isaac Singer invented the sewing machine. In order to distribute his machines outside of his geographical area, and also provide training to customers on the use of the machines, Singer began selling licenses to entrepreneurs in different parts of the country. Today many such franchise opportunities are advertised via the Web and other media. Examples of franchises include Carvel, Tutoring Club and Liberty Tax Service.

A franchise is a joint venture between a franchiser and a franchisee. The franchiser is the original or existing business which sells the right to use its name and idea. The franchisee is the individual who buys into the original company by purchasing the right to sell the franchisor’s goods or services under the existing business model and trademark.

An S corporation is a corporation that is treated, for federal tax purposes, as a pass-through entity through an election made with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to be considered an S corporation. What does that mean? As a corporation, an S corporation is created through filing Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State or similar government body. It issues stock and is governed as a corporation, with directors, officers, and shareholders who function in the same manner as their C corporation counterparts. The owners (the shareholders) have the same protection from liability as shareholders of a C corporation. An S corporation shareholder’s personal assets, such as personal bank accounts, cannot be seized to satisfy business liabilities.

Carefully evaluating yourself and the franchise you want to purchase, will greatly improve your chances of success. Therefore, would-be franchise owners need to ask many questions and do thorough research before plunging headlong into the business, and investing their hopes and dreams, and often, the bulk of their assets. Before buying a franchise, there are 10 important questions that you need to think about carefully and answer honestly:1. Will I be willing and able to take on the responsibilities for managing my own business? Before buying a franchise you need to carefully analyse your personality and motives for owning your own business and you need to ensure that your ‘house’ is good order on a personal level.

If a company has only one share of common stock and an investor owns it, the investor owns the entire company and is entitled to one hundred percent of the company’s profits. If a company has 100,000 shares of common stock and an investor owns one of them, then the investor owns 1/100,000th of the company, and as such, has an interest in 1/100,000th of the company’s profits. Common stock has a number of advantages which make it a desirable investment vehicle, some of which are listed below: Common stock has the potential for delivering very large gains, unlike bonds, Certificates of Deposit, or some other alternatives. Annual returns-on-investment (ROIs) of over 100% have occurred on a somewhat regular basis. The potential loss from stock purchased with cash is limited to the total amount of the initial investment. This is considerably better than that of some leveraged transactions, where the maximum loss can well exceed the total of the funds invested. Stocks offer limited legal liability. Passive stockholders (those who take no active part in the running of the company) are protected against any liability stemming from the company’s actions beyond their financial investment in the company.

Strategic planning is matching the strengths of your business to available opportunities. To do this effectively, you need to collect, screen and analyze information about the business environment. You also need to have a clear understanding of your business - its strength's and weaknesses - and develop a clear mission, goals and objectives. Acquiring this understanding often involves more work than expected. You must realistically assess the business you are convinced you know well. Familiarity can breed contempt for thorough analysis; you cannot properly evaluate your firm's strengths or shortcomings.

Accordingly, in the paragraphs below, I explain and discuss the most significant \"\"advantages and disadvantages of an S corporation\"\" issues for small businesses: Disadvantage #1: Extra Tax Accounting S Corporations present their owners and managers with several disadvantages, but perhaps the biggest disadvantage for a previously un-incorporated business concerns the extra accounting required. For the sole proprietorship that's considering an S corporation, the S corporation choice may require more or better bookkeeping and accounting. And this \"\"extra accounting\"\" disadvantage means that either you'll need to learn more accounting or you'll need to pay a bookkeeper or accountant to do it. You'll also, as a practical matter, need to buy a copy of an accounting software program like Quick Books. As compared to a sole proprietor, S corporation tax returns also cost more to prepare. Partly, the extra cost stems from the increased complexity of a corporate return.

When a company is looking at, for example, acquisitions of other companies, development of new lines of business or major purchases of plants or equipment, capital budgeting is the method used to determine whether one option is better than another. There are several capital budgeting methods, each with its pros and cons. Capital Budgeting by Payback Period The most-used method of capital budgeting is determining the payback period. The company establishes an acceptable amount of time in which a successful investment can repay the cost of capital to make it. Investment alternatives with too long a payback period are rejected. Investment alternatives inside the payback period are evaluated on the basis of the fastest payback. Payback method disadvantages include that it does not account for the time value of money. Net Present Value Capital Budgeting In net present value capital budgeting, each of the competing alternatives for a firm’s capital is assigned a discount rate to help determine the value today of expected future returns." }, { "docid": "D1448128#0", "title": "https://www.indiafilings.com/learn/different-types-franchise-agreements/\nDifferent Types of Franchise Agreements", "text": "Guides » Business Startup » Different Types of Franchise Agreements Different Types of Franchise Agreements Once the parties decide to establish a franchise, the next decision is deciding the structure and ownership of the franchise program. Based on the nature of understanding between the franchisor and franchisee, different types of franchise agreements could be entered into as follows: Development Agreement A development agreement is entered into if the franchisor and franchise decide to develop a franchise outlet in a particular area. The development agreement gives the franchisee an exclusive right to open a store in a particular area within a particular period of time. Development agreement only provides the right to develop a store. Once development is complete, a franchisee agreement must be executed to operate the store.

Franchise Agreement Once the development is complete or the store is setup, a franchise agreement is executed.

If you don't have previous business experience, however, it may make sense to consider buying an existing business, which can put you ahead of the competition by throwing you directly into the business world. Before you make the final decision, though, here are some of the pros and cons of previously established businesses and how to deal with them. Some advantages include the following: The main benefit of buying an existing business is the fact that all legwork has already been done for you. Getting a business off the ground is often the hardest part, so you are guaranteeing a head start by skipping the first stage. No need to file paperwork, obtain permits, and consult with lawyers. It gives you the advantage of an established customer base. People will already know the place, so the costs of advertising will be less. You will also avoid the uncertain initial period, where attracting customers to the business can turn into a full-time job in itself.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz long resisted franchising in the United States to maintain control over the Starbucks brand and culture, but he has opened a small number of franchise-owned stores in Europe. Keeping Starbucks a chain in the U. S. has allowed the company to offer a high degree of continuity across American stores. Starbucks plans to increase franchising in Europe, however, and the Starbucks subsidiary Seattle's Best Coffee franchises its cafés and kiosks in the U. S. In addition to the decision to keep Starbucks a chain, market maker Howard Schultz has made several decisions over the years that have brought the world's leading coffee chain back to the top. Schultz has expressed his desire to resist letting stock price define the company. Schultz has stated that the renewed success of Starbucks is due in large part to this philosophy. For example, even when times were tough for Starbucks, he refused to stop offering health care to part-time and temporary employees to save money, which kept employee morale high and encouraged low employee turnover. The other key decisions tycoon Howard Schultz has made as a renowned entrepreneur include his efforts to avoid stagnation by constantly reinventing and expanding Starbucks products and interior designs. He also ensures Starbucks offers customers innovative loyalty incentives, such as rewards cards and mobile payment options.

However, Pennsylvania law permits a minor to consent to all medical, dental, and other health services, except abortion, if the minor has: (1) graduated from high school, or (2) been married, or (3) been pregnant. An emancipated minor may consent to all health services including abortion. No other consent is required—a minor who meets one of these criteria enjoys the same rights to consent and confidentiality as an adult patient. All minors have the ability to consent confidentially to certain medical services under Pennsylvania and U. S. law, which are described in detail below. Confidentiality Fear of disclosure prevents some minors from seeking health services. When young people are assured that providers will maintain their confidentiality, they are more likely to seek care. Generally the right to consent entitles the patient to confidentiality. When a minor has the right to consent, a provider generally may not disclose the minor’s health care information to anyone, including the minor’s parents or guardians, without the minor’s consent, unless there is an explicit exception in the law that permits or requires the disclosure." }, { "docid": "D683255#0", "title": "https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/child-abuse-reporting-procedures\nChild abuse - reporting procedures", "text": "Summary Child Protection protects children and young people from harm caused by abuse or neglect within the family.

A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons.

The exam is scored based on a scale of 0 - 100 with 70 considered as the minimum score necessary to pass the exam. This score is not an exact percentage score as each question is assigned a weight based on the difficulty of the question and the final score is determined using these weights. To register for the exam, you must have an associate's degree from an accredited medical technology program or have attended school for 2 years with at least 60 semester hours at an accredited university and at least 25 of those hours must have been devoted to medical technology related courses. Instead of fitting one of the above requirements, you may also be eligible if you are a graduate of an accredited medical laboratory program or have completed a 50-week military training program for laboratory procedure as long as you have received credit for that program with an accredited university.

Many people eat sunflower seeds as a snack around the world, and they are reasonably nutritious dietary supplement, as long as they are eaten in moderation and not heavily salted. Sunflower seeds are also used in seed mixtures for birds, and they may appear in bird feeders or feeds for pet avians. Most markets sell sunflower seeds, usually in both shelled and unshelled forms, and they are often used as filler in trail and nut mixes. The sunflower, or Helianthus annuus, is a distinctive annual plant which produces large bright yellow flowers which resemble small suns. The flowers grow on tall stalks with simple leaves, and they have been known to reach the height of nine feet (three meters) in ideal growing conditions. In fact, the head of a sunflower is composed of a tightly compacted mass of small flowers, each of which matures into a kernel surrounded by a dry husk. Incidentally, sunflowers are often used to demonstrate the appearance of Fibonacci sequences in nature, since the arrangement of seeds exhibits mathematically predictable symmetry. Native Americans realized the potential of sunflower seeds as a food source several thousand years ago, and they have been growing them ever since. When European explorers first visited the Americas, they brought seeds back with them to attempt cultivating sunflowers on their own." }, { "docid": "D2901417#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USRDA\nDietary Reference Intake", "text": "\"Dietary Reference Intake From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from USRDA)navigation search The Dietary Reference Intake ( DRI) is a system of nutrition recommendations from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies (United States).

The sunflower was used by various Indian tribes in many ways. Seed was ground or pounded into flower, mixed with other vegetables, or cracked and eaten for a snack. Seed was also squeezed into oil for making breads. Sunflowers also used to obtain a purple dye for textiles, body painting and other decorations. Some parts of the plant were used medicinally for snakebite remedies and other ointments.

Safaloah Senior Lecturer in Monogastric Nutrition, Department of Animal Science, University of Malawi; Bunda College of Agriculture Lilongwe, Malawi This paper outlines the current status of livestock production, protein supplies and the animal feed industry in Malawi. Livestock production in Malawi is primarily subsistent where the majority of animals and poultry are kept under the extensive free-range system of management with little or no supplementation. Large-scale commercial livestock and poultry enterprises are few in number and are primarily the intensive type where the use of concentrates and/or protein feed ingredients is common. Available feed resources are either of animal (fishmeal, meat and bone meal) or plant origin (soybean meal, sunflower meal, cottonseed cake and groundnut cake). Neglected or underutilized protein sources include pigeon peas, cowpeas and chickpeas. Some protein sources used in the animal feed industry are imported from neighbouring countries. Most protein sources are incorporated in compounded feed for intensive poultry, pig, beef cattle and dairy production. The animal feed manufacturing industry is generally small with two main feed manufacturers supplemented by on-farm feed mixing. There is urgent need to explore the utilization of unconventional feedstuffs in order to increase the protein resource base and so improve livestock productivity.

Alpha tocopherol is the only form of vitamin E that is recognized to meet the human requirements. Functions of Vitamin E: It plays a vital role in preventing oxidative damage and fighting off a variety of degenerative health conditions. It helps to maintain the circulatory system, improve healing ability and decrease the premenstrual syndrome in women. Vitamin E is also required for maintaining a healthy and youthful skin. Scientists have claimed Vitamin E’s role in preventing degenerative mental imbalances like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease in the elderly." }, { "docid": "D1715265#0", "title": "https://draxe.com/sunflower-seeds/\nSunflower Seeds: Benefits, Nutrition & Recipes", "text": "Food Nuts, Seeds & Legumes Sunflower Seeds: Benefits, Nutrition & Recipes Sunflower Seeds: Benefits, Nutrition & Recipes911 66 369Sunflower Seeds Health Benefits Sunflower seeds are a unique food, rich in many types of essential, and sometimes hard to get, nutrients. In fact, sunflower seeds make my Top 10 List for foods rich in Vitamin E, copper, B Vitamins like thiamine, phosphorus, selenium, and more. Sunflower seeds, like nearly all types of nuts and seeds, provide a healthy source of essential fatty acids; their specific fatty acids are in the form of linoleic acid. Additionally, sunflower seeds are also an excellent source of fiber, amino acids (especially tryptophan) which make up the building blocks of proteins, B Vitamins, phytosterols, and more. Although as a culture we have been led to believe that consuming fat can lead to unwanted weight gain, the opposite is in fact true; consuming healthy fats actually leads to a healthy cardiovascular system, a stable healthy body weight, and reduced levels of body-wide inflammation. Healthy sources of fats like those found in sunflower seeds are actually the building blocks for cell membranes, allow your body to balance hormones, help to slow down absorption of food during meal time so that we can go longer without feeling hungry, and also act as carriers for important fat- soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. By adding healthy sources of fats into your diet, like the polyunsaturated kind that is found in sunflower seeds, and replacing trans-fats and low-quality easily oxidized fats, you can experience multiple health benefits. Sunflower Seeds History Sunflower seeds come from, of course, sunflowers! The yellow flowers produce small edible seeds which are gray or greenly colored and are found naturally in dark green, gray, or black shells called “husks”. According to the National Sunflower Association, Sunflowers are actually native to North America. There is evidence that sunflowers were cultivated by native americans as long as 3000 B.

In addition, the National Sunflower Foundation refers to them as a functional food, meaning they nourish the body with substances other than calories. Sunflower seeds contain phytochemicals, such as vitamin E, choline, arginine and lignans. Phytochemicals can help protect against diseases such as heart disease, cancer and high cholesterol.

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email By: Julie Martens Forney Related To: Flowers Plants Mary Beth Shaddix Enhance the beauty of sunflowers by investigating the symbolism of these cheery bloomers. Sunflower meaning varies based on cultural and religious roots, but many aspects of sunflower symbolism remain constant in legends and mythology. Explore the botanical name of this annual flower, Helianthus annuus, and you learn that it derives from Greek “helios” (meaning sun) and “anthos” (meaning flower). The word “annuus” translates as annual, so the botanical name’s literal translation is sunflower annual — a perfect description of this pretty plant. Sunflower meaning in various cultures runs counter to the idea of a short-lived annual. In China, for instance, sunflower symbolism includes the idea of longevity and long life. Many groups associate sunflowers with prolonged constancy and loyalty, reflecting the flower bud’s tendency to follow the sun across the sky. Greek mythology celebrates a sunflower’s apparent dedication to the sun in the tale of a water nymph who fell in love with the god of the sun, Apollo. In her adoration of Apollo, she would sit on the earth and gaze at the sun (Apollo) day after day." }, { "docid": "D2819712#0", "title": "https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/undifferentiated\nundifferentiated", "text": "\"undifferentiatedadjective un·dif·fer·en·ti·at·ed \\ ˌən-ˌdi-fə-ˈren (t)-shē-ˌā-təd \\Popularity: Bottom 10% of words | Updated on: 24 Feb 2018Trending Now:oligarch glib depose omnibus acrimony ALLTime Traveler!

For many among its audience, the installation—a vast field of life-size porcelain seeds—appeared from a distance to be made not of real husks but of carefully raked gravel or chippings. Yet, whether the components were handcrafted sculptures or industrial materials, the intended sense of dislocation, curiosity and altered perception still arose. Confusion and wonderment mixed as the mind struggled to grasp the relationship between the individual and the whole. Covering 1,000 square meters to a depth of ten centimeters, the work’s 100 million seeds were manufactured by traditional methods and delicately painted by hand in the city of Jingdezhen, the major center for the production of Imperial porcelain for over a thousand years. Ai has long been fascinated by the cultural traditions of materials and objects, and of porcelain in particular—the survival of its artisan production, its supreme quality, its early traditions of mass production and global export and the value still invested in it as a cultural artifact in China today. Fabrication of the required 150 tonnes of seeds, from trials to completion, took almost two and a half years, and at its peak employed around 1,600 artisans, placing Ai—a frequent visitor to the community—in the ambiguous positions of factory boss and art patron, controlling workers’ destinies just as the old elites had done. And, like the fragile porcelain seeds themselves, this curious project may bear limited fruit. The Jingdezhen workshops are much reduced—deregulation in the 1980s and the closure of state-owned porcelain firms have left the city exposed to competition from provinces specializing in cheaper wares. Sunflower Seeds, despite its unusual creation, paralleled the growth of materialism, globalization and mass-production in China, and the increasing impotence of the modern worker, creating meaningless products for distant, demanding markets." }, { "docid": "D979833#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_does_a_sunflower_symbolize\nWhat does a sunflower tattoo symbolize?", "text": "Crystal Ponti 102,820 Contributions Crystal Ponti is the founder of Blue Lobster Book Co., a full-service, self-publishing boutique.

Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The reason why there is a restriction on liquids is because there was a terrorist plot in 2006 in which liquid chemicals were going to be mixed to blow up several transatlantic flights - specifically targeting American airline companies, like American Airlines, US Airways, etc. The new TSA policy states that only liquids in containers 3 fluid ounces or smaller in volume are allowed through security. These containers must fit in 1 quart-sized (sandwich sized) Ziploc bag, and only 1 bag is allowed per passenger. That way, the amount of liquids is severely limited, for security's sake. I suggest buying travel-sized products for your journey - and buy at least 2 tubes of travel-sized toothpaste, 3 if you're going to be in Europe for more than a couple of weeks.

That means it's important to know what to look for when buying a new fork. What to think about when buying a fork Travel Mountain biking is a very diverse sport and there are suspension forks designed for every type of bike: cross-country bikes generally offer 80 to 120mm of suspension travel, trail bikes range from 120 to 140mm, enduro and all-mountain bikes have between 150 to 170mm, and gravity/downhill rigs go from 180 to 210mm. The first question is, how much travel will work best for you? All other things being equal, the further your fork can move, the more smoothly it can absorb impacts. But longer-legged forks have to be heavier to cope with the extra leverage and bigger impacts. An extra 10mm of travel will tip head and seat angles back by roughly one degree, which makes steering slower and more stable. Running too long a fork can also overstress your frame and void the warranty, so always check what the recommended travel is for your bike before upgrading. In general, it's best to replace your existing suspension fork with one with that offers a similar amount of suspension. That said, many forks have travel-adjust features." }, { "docid": "D3530741#0", "title": "http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/sign-here-glossary/\n\"Glossary for \"\"Sign Here!\"\" words\"", "text": "\"Glossary for \"\"Sign Here!\"\" words Share: Tweet A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y ZAAndromeda Galaxy The closest major galaxy to our own Milky Way.

The arc is initiated between the continuous wire electrode and the workpiece. The flux, which is contained within the core of the tubular electrode, melts during welding and shields the weld pool from the atmosphere. Direct current, electrode positive (DCEP) is commonly employed as in the FCAW process. There are two basic process variants; self shielded FCAW (without shielding gas) and gas shielded FCAW (with shielding gas). The difference in the two is due to different fluxing agents in the consumables, which provide different benefits to the user. Usually, self-shielded FCAW is used in outdoor conditions where wind would blow away a shielding gas. The fluxing agents in self shielded FCAW are designed to not only deoxidize the weld pool but also to allow for shielding of the weld pool and metal droplets from the atmosphere. The flux in gas-shielded FCAW provides for deoxidation of the weld pool and, to a smaller degree than in self-shielded FCAW, provides secondary shielding from the atmosphere.

Risk to Healthcare Professionals Is the Controversy Settled? References How Does Aerosol Transmission Occur? A second area of controversy is whether pathogens can be aerosolized and transmitted by inhalation. NIOSH defines aerosols as a suspension of tiny particles or droplets in the air. [ 22] Aerosol transmission has been defined as person-to-person transmission of pathogens through the air by means of inhalation of infectious particles. Particles up to 100 μm in size are considered inhalable (inspirable). These aerosolized particles are small enough to be inhaled into the oronasopharynx, with the smaller, respirable size ranges (eg, < 10 μm) penetrating deeper into the trachea and lung (Figure). [ 23, 24] Aerosols are emitted not only by \"\"aerosol-generating procedures,\"\" [ 19] but may also be transmitted whenever an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or exhales. Pathogens transmitted by respiratory aerosols can travel short or long range from the source depending on the size and shape of the particles, the initial velocity (eg, cough vs exhalation), and environmental conditions (eg, humidity, airflow).

A. Kanen, All Rights Reserved Pyroclastic rocks are the products of volcanic explosions; that is, they are fragmental pieces of rock, whether they be minerals, crystals or glass, ejected from the vent. Characteristically there are more pyroclastics associated with acid magmas than basic. Acid magmas are more viscous, hence they are reluctant to release gas and this results in high explosiveness. Pyroclastics form by the expansion of gas contained in the parent magma. This may occur when the rising magma comes into contact with ground water. Large amounts of ash from the country rock are associated with eruption when this happens. Pyroclastics may also form when a lava flows into the sea, or even a lake. On such occasions, the products are usually crossbedded breccias that have a foreset dip of approximately 25 degrees. Submarine eruptions also produce pyroclastics, however, the hydrostatic pressure at extreme depths prevents explosions, limiting the production of pyroclastics to shallow depths. Rocks formed from this type of eruption include pumice and hyaloclastites, which is the brecciated product." }, { "docid": "D1484272#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_cup\nCoffee cup", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Espresso being poured into a demitasse A coffee cup is a container that coffee and espresso -based drinks are served in.

Synopsis Born on October 15, 1542 in Umarkot, India, and enthroned at age 14, Akbar the Great began his military conquests under the tutelage of a regent before claiming imperial power and expanding the Mughal Empire. Known as much for his inclusive leadership style as for his war mongering, Akbar ushered in an era of religious tolerance and appreciation for the arts. Akbar the Great died in 1605. Early Life The conditions of Akbar's birth in Umarkot, Sindh, India on October 15, 1542, gave no indication that he would be a great leader. Though Akbar was a direct descendent of Ghengis Khan, and his grandfather Babur was the first emperor of the Mughal dynasty, his father, Humayun, had been driven from the throne by Sher Shah Suri. He was impoverished and in exile when Akbar was born. Humayun managed to regain power in 1555, but ruled only a few months before he died, leaving Akbar to succeed him at just 14 years old." } ]

At the height of its power, around 1700, it controlled most of the Subcontinent - extending from present-day Bangladesh to Kashmir and part of what is now Badakshan. Its population at that time has been estimated as between 110 and 130 million, over a territory of over 4 million km² (1.5 million mi²). [ 2] Following 1725 it declined rapidly. Its decline has been variously explained as caused by wars of succession, agrarian crises fueling local revolts, the growth of religious intolerance, and British colonialism. The last Emperor, Bahadur Shah II, whose rule was restricted to the city of Delhi, was imprisoned and exiled by the British after the Indian Rebellion of 1857." }, { "docid": "D1176039#0", "title": "http://mocomi.com/lever/\nWhat is a Lever?", "text": "What is a Lever?

The classic period of the Mughal empire, during which it reaches the peak of its power and glory, excelling in the arts, literature, architecture and building construction, and the Mughal court attains its greatest pomp and pageantry, begins with the accession of Akbar the Great in 1556 and ends with the death of Emperor Aurangzeb in 1707. It was during this period that the domains of the empire reach their greatest extent, and their most visible legacies such as the Taj Mahal at Agra, the Red Fort of Delhi, and numerous other palaces, mosques, tombs, minars and forts that stand today in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Lahore, Dhaka, and other cities of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh originated. The use of jewels and jewelry to enhance the brilliance of the Mughal court and its rulers also reached its zenith, during this period. Diamonds, pearls, emeralds, rubies and sapphires were freely used to embellish the crowns, headdresses, royal robes, thrones, carpets, and ornaments used by the emperors, empresses and their family members. The Mughal treasury had chests full of loose diamonds, pearls, and other precious stones, that were used by the court artisans in turning out fabulous pieces of jewelry for the court. Jewelry designing and crafting also attained a high state of refinement during this period, and thousands of experienced and well-trained craftsmen who had been practicing their trade for generations, were on the regular pay roll of the emperors. Emperor Akbar's Baroque Pearl Drop Pendant, is just one piece of jewelry, originating from this rich tradition, and was perhaps part of a more elaborate necklace of unknown design, worn by the emperor, or one of his empresses or a member of the royal family. Characteristics of the pendant The pearl is large and oval-shaped, but slightly baroque, with a height of 4.0 cm. The diameter of the pearl, and its weight whether combined with its accessories such as the bell cap, or alone, are not known." }, { "docid": "D2912099#0", "title": "http://allstarpics.famousfix.com/pictures/fiona-gubelmann\nFiona Gubelmann Pics", "text": "\"Fiona Gubelmann Pics VIEWS: 6,355 VOTES: 3 RATE Next »Fiona Gubelmann Snapshot First Name Fiona Last Name Gubelmann Gender Female Full Name at Birth Fiona Victoria Gubelmann Birthday 1980-03-30Zodiac Sign Aries Birthplace Los Angeles County, California, USANationality American Occupation Text Actress Claim to Fame Parenthood Build Slim Hair Color Blonde Ethnicity White Official Websites www.fionagubelmann.com/Age 37Wikipedia Text Fiona Victoria Gubelmann (born March 30, 1980) is an American actress.

Religion at Akbar's Court [ [156]] OF ALL the aspects of Akbar's life and reign, few have excited more interest than his attitude toward religion. There is every indication that he began his rule as a devout, orthodox Muslim. He said all the five prayers in the congregation, often recited the call for prayers, and occasionally swept out the palace mosque himself. He showed great respect for the two leading religious leaders at the court, Makhdum-ul-Mulk and Shaikh Abdul Nabi. Makhdum-ul-Mulk, who had been an important figure during the reign of the Surs, became even more powerful in the early days of Akbar. Shaikh Abdul Nabi, who was appointed sadr-ul-sadur in 1565, was given authority which no other holder of the office (the highest religious position in the realm) had ever enjoyed. Akbar would go to his house to hear him expound the sayings of the Prophet, and he placed his heir, Prince Salim, under his tutorship. \"\" For some time the Emperor had so great faith in him as a religious leader that he would bring him his shoes and place them before his feet.\"\" /1/Further indication of Akbar's orthodoxy and of his religious zeal was shown in his devotion to Khwaja Muin-ud-din, the great Chishti saint whose tomb at Ajmer was an object of veneration." }, { "docid": "D1725777#0", "title": "http://sensiblereason.com/muslim-hindu-religious-interactions-in-the-mughal-empire-the-birth-and-death-off-a-cohesive-culture/\nMuslim Hindu Religious Interactions in the Mughal Empire: The Birth and Death of a Cohesive Culture", "text": "Muslim Hindu Religious Interactions in the Mughal Empire: The Birth and Death of a Cohesive Cultureby Greg Sarafan · November 6, 2011Like this: The Indian Subcontinent has experienced many religions over the centuries and is one of the oldest cradles of human civilization on earth. The river valleys of India are a petri dish of religion and cultural diversity in practices and beliefs. India has seen times of peace and hegemony, while also experiencing war and conflict with millions perishing in ethno-religious conflicts. Islam and Hinduism have been the two most prominent religions in India. Throughout its history the region has seen both times of cohesion and times of strife and conflict. The Mughal Empire was a time period of peaceful religious and cultural flourishing between the Hindus and Muslims of India, culminating in a golden age of Islamic-Hindu cross cultural pollination. The last Mughal Emperor ’s policy of intolerance towards the religious plurality is what led to the fragmentation of this cohesive system, which continued to deteriorate for centuries. Central Asian tribes invaded India some time around 1500 B. C. E. The Central Asian invaders conquered India and created what is referred to as Classical Indian culture; putting and end to the Golden Age of the Mughal Empire. The Subcontinent was transformed though a successive rulers and mighty empires, before the arrival of Muslims in the 8th Century. The first Muslim contact with India and the attempted conquest was not a assimilative effort on the part of the Muslim generals coming out of the Central Asian dynasties." }, { "docid": "D632394#0", "title": "http://www.culturalindia.net/indian-history/akbar.html\nAkbar the Great", "text": "Akbar was the third and the greatest Mughal Emperor.

Succeeding his father Humayun at a critical stage, he slowly enlarged the extent of the Mughal Empire to include almost all of the Indian sub-continent. He extended his power and influence over the entire country due to his military, political, cultural, and economic dominance.

Also included is the procedure to visit the Holy Prophet (pbuh)'s Tomb and his Mosque. 1. IHRAMThe literal meaning of Ihram is to make haraam (forbidden). When a haji pronounces the Niyyah (intention) of Hajj and Umrah and utters Talbiyah, certain halaal (permissible) things become haraam for him. This combined action (Niyyah and Talbiyah) is called Ihram. The two sheets that a haji wears are figuratively known as Ihram but the real Ihram is Niyyah & Talbiyah. If someone wears these two sheets and does not declare his intention and utter Talbiyah, he does not become a Muhrim. That is why, before Niyyah and Talbiyah, he can cover his head during two rakahs of Nafl, an act which is not allowed in the real state of Ihram. PROCEDUREPreparations for Ihram." } ]

Fire has been a constant metaphor associated with an exceptional level of intensity, passion, and even temptation. Its characteristics are widely used in the figurative language, which adds depth to its meaning. Even love was no stranger to it.

As quick as the rise of male bodybuilding has been over the past 40 years or so, it’s undoubtedly worth noting a long line of female amazons have rocked the stage, many of whom were renowned for their biceps in particular.

In another form, putting a line on top of any Roman Numeral will make it multiplied by 1,000. Putting a line on top of M will make 1,000,000, since 1,000*1,000=1,000,000.

SOS Child sponsorship is cool!Roman numerals are a numeral system originating in ancient Rome, adapted from Etruscan numerals. The system used in classical antiquity was slightly modified in the Middle Ages to produce the system we use today. It is based on certain letters which are given values as numerals. Roman numerals are commonly used today in numbered lists (in outline format), clockfaces, pages preceding the main body of a book, chord triads in music analysis, the numbering of movie publication dates, successive political leaders or children with identical names, and the numbering of some sport events, such as the Olympic Games or the Super Bowl.

In cases where it may be shorter, it is sometimes allowable to place a smaller, subtractive, symbol before a larger value, so that, for example, one may write IV or iv for four, rather than iiii. Sometimes, especially in medical prescriptions, a final i becomes j, such as iij for 3 or vij for 7.

Though availability of paper and the invention of metal movable type sped the dissemination of ideas from the later 15th century, the changes of the Renaissance were not uniformly experienced across Europe. As a cultural movement, it encompassed innovative flowering of Latin and vernacular literatures, beginning with the 14th-century resurgence of learning based on classical sources, which contemporaries credited to Petrarch, the development of linear perspective and other techniques of rendering a more natural reality in painting, and gradual but widespread educational reform. In politics, the Renaissance contributed the development of the conventions of diplomacy, and in science an increased reliance on observation. Historians often argue this intellectual transformation was a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era. Although the Renaissance saw revolutions in many intellectual pursuits, as well as social and political upheaval, it is perhaps best known for its artistic developments and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term \"\"Renaissance man\"\". [ 2] [3] There is a consensus that the Renaissance began in Florence, Italy, in the 14th century. [ 4] Various theories have been proposed to account for its origins and characteristics, focusing on a variety of factors including the social and civic peculiarities of Florence at the time; its political structure; the patronage of its dominant family, the Medici; [5] [6] and the migration of Greek scholars and texts to Italy following the Conquest of Constantinople at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. [ 7] [8] [9] The Renaissance has a long and complex historiography, and in line with general scepticism of discrete periodizations, there has been much debate among historians reacting to the 19th-century glorification of the \"\"Renaissance\"\" and individual culture heroes as \"\"Renaissance men\"\", questioning the usefulness of Renaissance as a term and as a historical delineation. [ 10] The art historian Erwin Panofsky observed of this resistance to the concept of Renaissance It is perhaps no accident that the factuality of the Italian Renaissance has been most vigorously questioned by those who are not obliged to take a professional interest in the aesthetic aspects of civilization— historians of economic and social developments, political and religious situations, and, most particularly, natural science— but only exceptionally by students of literature and hardly ever by historians of Art.

One example would be if you were trying to measure a big tree. It would be pretty easy to take a rope and wrap it around the tree, and then measure the length of the rope to find out how big around the tree was (the circumference ), but you’d have to cut the tree down to measure the radius. We don’t want to cut this big tree down, so we’ll need to use math to figure out the radius instead. Luckily we know that the radius of any circle is always the same as half of the circumference divided by π ( pi )." }, { "docid": "D2105267#0", "title": "http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/roman-numerals-converter.htm\nRoman numerals converter", "text": "Roman numerals converter Roman numerals conversion calculator and how to convert.

In everyday programming, we are now becoming quite insulated from the need to convert between binary numbers and their representation, so it is a novelty to try out ways of doing it in SQL, and experiment with other number systems from the past. My fascination with numbers started when I was about two years old. One of my parents used to bend my fingers, saying “One, Two, Three…” and all our guests smiled, when I tried to repeat “Four, Five, Six…”At that time, I believed that people need the numbers in order to count their fingers and to make their parents and relatives laugh. When I grew up, I discovered that numbers could be helpful in a few more situations, for example to identify time and count money. However, I did not pay much attention to the fact that the counting rules for time and money are different. In one day, among the old documents, stored in our family, I found my grandfather’s watch. The watch had a beautiful watch face with strange symbols on it, instead of numbers. My mother told me that these symbols are the Roman numbers.

In fact, as the name suggests, Roman numerals started in ancient Rome between 900 and 800 B. C. Roman numerals originated as a set of seven basic symbols, symbolizing numbers. As time and language progressed, those markings transformed into the letters we use today. While it may seem strange to use Roman numerals when numbers can be used, knowing how to use them can come in handy. Roman Numerals in Everyday Life Roman numerals are all around us and you've almost certainly seen and used them, even without realizing it. Once you familiarize themselves with the letters and how to use them, you'll be surprised at how often they come up. Below are several places that Roman numerals are often found: Roman numerals are often used in books, and chapters are counted for by using them. Pages are also numbered with Roman numerals in appendices or introductions. When reading a play, the acts are separated into sections marked with Roman numerals.

In contrast, nonmetallic atoms attract electrons more strongly than metallic atoms, and so nonmetals tend to gain electrons and form anions. Thus, when a metallic element and a nonmetallic element combine, the nonmetallic atoms often pull one or more electrons far enough away from the metallic atoms to form ions. The positive cations and the negative anions then attract each other to form ionic bonds. Predicting Monatomic Cation Charges The atoms of the noble gases found in nature are uncombined with other atoms. The fact that the noble gas atoms do not gain, lose, or share their electrons suggests there must be something especially stable about having 2 (helium, He), 10 (neon, Ne), 18 (argon, Ar), 36 (krypton, Kr), 54 (xenon, Xe), or 86 (radon, Rn) electrons. This stability is reflected in the fact that some metallic atoms form cations in order to get the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas. See below. The metallic elements in groups other than 1, 2, or 3 also lose electrons to form cations, but they do so in less easily predicted ways. It will be useful to memorize some of the charges for these metals." }, { "docid": "D3012085#0", "title": "https://www.archimedes-lab.org/numeral.html\nNumbers' & Numeral systems' history and curiosities", "text": "\"Numbers' & Numeral systems' history and curiosities Origins of the Numerals Page 1 / Page 2 / More...

These digits were introduced in Europe within the XII century by Leonardo Pisano (aka Fibonacci ), an Italian mathematician. L. Pisano was educated in North Africa, where he learned and later carried to Italy the now popular Hindu-Arabic numerals. Hindu numeral system is a pure place-value system, that is why you need a zero . Only the Hindus, within the context of Indo-European civilisations, have consistently used a zero. The Arabs, however, played an essential part in the dissemination of this numeral system. The Earliest Evidence of The Use of Numbers All numeration systems started as simple tally marks, using single strokes to represent each additional unit... Our prehistoric ancestors would have had a general sensibility about amounts and quantities, and would have instinctively known the difference between one, two or many antelopes. But the intellectual leap from the concrete idea of two things to the invention of a symbol for the abstract idea of \"\"two\"\" took many ages to come about. Mathematics along with a formal system of numbers initially developed when civilizations settled and developed agriculture - for the measurement of plots of land, the taxation of individuals, and so on - and this first occurred in the Sumerian and Babylonian civilizations of Mesopotamia (roughly, modern Iraq) and in ancient Egypt.

A redox reaction occurs when electrons are transferred from a substance that is oxidized to one that is being reduced. The reductant is the substance that loses electrons and is oxidized in the process; the oxidant is the species that gains electrons and is reduced in the process. The associated potential energy is determined by the potential difference between the valence electrons in atoms of different elements. Because it is impossible to have a reduction without an oxidation and vice versa, a redox reaction can be described as two half-reactions, one representing the oxidation process and one the reduction process. For the reaction of zinc with bromine, the overall chemical reaction is as follows: (20.3.1) Zn 2The half-reactions are as follows:reduction half-reaction: (20.3.2) 2 2oxidation half-reaction: (20.3.3) Zn 2Each half-reaction is written to show what is actually occurring in the system; Zn is the reductant in this reaction (it loses electrons), and Br 2 is the oxidant (it gains electrons). Adding the two half-reactions gives the overall chemical reaction (Equation ). A redox reaction is balanced when the number of electrons lost by the reductant equals the number of electrons gained by the oxidant. Like any balanced chemical equation, the overall process is electrically neutral; that is, the net charge is the same on both sides of the equation. In any redox reaction, the number of electrons lost by the reductant equals the number of electrons gained by the oxidant." }, { "docid": "D2894798#0", "title": "http://www.biology-online.org/9/5_protein_activity.htm\nProtein Activity and Cellular Metabolism - The Human Physiology", "text": "Protein Binding Sites The ability of various molecules and ions to bind to specific sites on the protein surface forms the basis of the wide variety of protein functions.

Chemical specificity and affinity are distinct properties of a binding site. Chemical Specificity A protein may have several binding sites, each site is specific for a particular or a particular type of ligand. This high chemical specificity is due to the complementary shapes of the ligand and the protein. Affinity Affinity is the strength of ligand-protein binding. A binding site could have a high or low affinity for a ligand, depending on the nature of the groups in both and proximity to each other. Saturation A single binding site could be occupied or unoccupied and the fraction of sites that are occupied is called saturation.

This network is composed of two major types of pathways: anabolism and catabolism. Anabolism uses energy stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to build larger molecules from smaller molecules. Catabolic reactions degrade larger molecules in order to produce ATP and raw materials for anabolic reactions. Together, these two general metabolic networks have three major functions: (1) to extract energy from nutrients or solar energy; (2) to synthesize the building blocks that make up the large molecules of life: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and combinations of these substances; and (3) to synthesize and degrade molecules required for special functions in the cell. These reactions are controlled by enzymes, protein catalysts that increase the speed of chemical reactions in the cell without themselves being changed. Each enzyme catalyzes a specific chemical reaction by acting on a specific substrate, or raw material. Each reaction is just one of a in a sequence of catalytic steps known as metabolic pathways. These sequences may be composed of up to 20 enzymes, each one creating a product that becomes the substrate — or raw material — for the subsequent enzyme.

Electrochemistry also embraces the study of electrolyte solutions and the chemical equilibria that occur in them. Many chemical reactions require the input of energy. Such reactions can be carried out at the surfaces of electrodes in cells connected to external power supplies. These reactions provide information about the nature and properties of the chemical species contained in the cells, and can also be used to synthesize new chemicals. The production of chlorine and aluminum and the electroplating and electrowinning of metals are examples of industrial electrochemical processes. Electrochemical cells that produce electric energy from chemical energy are the basis of primary and secondary (storage) batteries and fuel cells. Other electrical phenomena of interest in chemical systems include the behavior of ionic solutions and the conduction of current through these solutions, the separation of ions by an electric field ( electrophoresis ), the corrosion and passivation of metals, electrical effects in biological systems (bioelectrochemistry), and the effect of light on electrochemical cells (photoelectrochemistry).

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Enzyme Function: In simple terms, an enzyme functions by binding to one or more of the reactants in a reaction. The reactants that bind to the enzyme are known as the substrates of the enzyme. The exact location on the enzyme where substrate binding takes place is called the active site of the enzyme. The shape of the active site just fits the shape of the substrate, somewhat like a lock fits a key. In this way only the correct substrate binds to the enzyme. Once the substrate or substrates are bound to the enzyme, the enzyme can promote the desired reaction in some particular way. What that way is depends on the nature of the reaction and the nature of the enzyme. An enzyme may hold two substrate molecules in precisely the orientation needed for the reaction to occur. Or binding to the enzyme may weaken a bond in a substrate molecule that must be broken in the course of the reaction, thus increasing the rate at which the reaction can occur." }, { "docid": "D61049#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox\nRedox", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Redox (disambiguation).

The immune system is also responsible for allergic reactions. An allergic reaction occurs when the body overreacts to substances called allergens, which are normally harmless in healthy individuals. For instance, if the immune system mistakes substances, such as pollen, fungus spores, parasites, or animal dander, for a harmful invader, the body will launch an attack. This reaction causes allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and hives. If the immune system is not functioning properly, individuals are more susceptible to diseases, infections, and cancers.

What is an air ambulance? The definition of an air ambulance, also known as a medical air transport, is any form of aircraft equipped with medical supplies, equipment and qualified medical professionals that will provide mobile medical care to a patient during transport to a medical facility specialized in responding to the medical needs of the patient in transport. An air ambulance transports patients to medical facilities when other transportation will not be adequate for them to receive necessary medical care.

The shift may be lateral, anterior, or posterior, and is usually in the direction away from the affected side. When the visual midline shifts, it causes the person to unconsciously think that the body center is shifted in the direction of the visual midline. In turn, the person will lean toward the midline shift. This can cause problems with balance, center of gravity, weight bearing, transfer, or ambulation (walking). For example, if a hemiparesis or hemiplegia has occurred, a lateral shift in visual midline may cause the patient to posture laterally away from the affected side. Some patients may have an anterior visual midline shift, causing a forward lean (flexion), or a posterior midline shift, causing a backward lean (extension). When a patient develops a visual midline shift, physical therapy or occupational therapy treatments for balance, transfer, or ambulation may plateau. Yoked prism glasses are prescribed by optometric physicians skilled in neuro-optometric rehabilitation for patients with midline shift. Yoked prisms alter a patient’s perception of visual space and increase the patient’s ability to transfer their weight to achieve better posture and balance." }, { "docid": "D2777509#0", "title": "http://www.intrepid247.com/tips-resources/travelling-within-canada\nIntrepid 24/7", "text": "\"Travelling Within Canada: What Could a Medical Emergency Outside of My Province Cost Me?

The records will help determine what– if any– mistakes were made by the facility in the care of the individual. Getting medical records from a nursing home, physician or hospital can be a daunting task due to privacy regulations (HIPPA) and misunderstanding of the laws that apply to obtaininging the records– both on the part of the person requesting the records and on the part of the medical facility. Nonetheless, federal and state laws ensure patients and their authorized representatives are entitled get copies of medical records when the laws are complied with. This includes the right to inspect and copy the resident’s clinical records and other records regarding the resident’s care and maintenance that are kept by the facility or by the resident’s physician. ( Illinois Nursing Home Care Act – 210 ILCS 25/2-104)A resident’s contract with a nursing home facility should designate the name of the resident’s representative, if any, which authorizes the representative to inspect and copy the resident’s records. ( 210 ILCS 45/2-202 ) Nursing home residents also have the right to privacy regarding the content of resident records. When a nursing home survey is performed at a facility, the Illinois Department of Health will respect resident confidentiality and not disclose the contents of a record in a manner which identifies a resident, except upon a resident’s death to a relative or guardian or under judicial proceedings. Also, any confidential medical, social, personal, or financial information identifying a resident will not be made available for public inspection in a manner which identifies a resident.

DNA is both more resilient and more easily repaired than RNA. As a result, DNA serves as a more stable carrier of the genetic information that is essential to survival and reproduction. DNA Is More Stable Both DNA and RNA contain the sugar ribose, which is essentially a ring of carbon atoms surrounded by oxygen and hydrogen. But whereas RNA contains a complete ribose sugar, DNA contains a ribose sugar that has lost one oxygen and one hydrogen atom. Fun fact: This minor difference explains the different names assigned to RNA and DNA – ribonucleic acid versus deoxyribonucleic acid. The extra oxygen and hydrogen atoms in RNA leave it prone to hydrolysis, a chemical reaction that effectively breaks the RNA molecule in half. Under normal cellular conditions, RNA undergoes hydrolysis almost 100 times faster than DNA, which makes DNA a more stable molecule.

DNA is the originating molecule containing the master copy of the code. This is copied to the m RNA first. The differences between DNA and RNA are that 1) RNA has uracil in place of thymine and 2) RNA uses ribose instead of the 2-deoxyribose in DNA. There are both double stranded and single stranded DNA and RNA in nature so this is not a defining difference.

The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving m RNA in transcription as well as t RNA. Aa Aa Aa The genes in DNA encode protein molecules, which are the \"\"workhorses\"\" of the cell, carrying out all the functions necessary for life. For example, enzymes, including those that metabolize nutrients and synthesize new cellular constituents, as well as DNA polymerases and other enzymes that make copies of DNA during cell division, are all proteins. In the simplest sense, expressing a gene means manufacturing its corresponding protein, and this multilayered process has two major steps. In the first step, the information in DNA is transferred to a messenger RNA ( m RNA) molecule by way of a process called transcription. During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase II catalyzes the formation of a pre-m RNA molecule, which is then processed to form mature m RNA (Figure 1)." }, { "docid": "D2656677#0", "title": "https://study.com/academy/lesson/role-of-mrna-in-protein-synthesis.html\nRole of mRNA in Protein Synthesis", "text": "Your next lesson will play in 10 seconds Add to Timeline Autoplay 17K views Create an account to start this course today Try it free for 5 days!Create An Account Recommended Lessons and Courses for You Related Lessons Related Courses What Is the Role of RNA in Protein Synthesis?

Andrew is largely used in the English, Greek, and Russian languages, and it is derived from Old Greek origins. A biblical name, it is derived from the element 'andreia' meaning male, manly, brave, virility. Andreas (Latin and Old Greek) is an original form of Andrew. In the Bible, Andrew was the first chosen of the twelve apostles, and the brother of Simon Peter; the name Andrew was a Greek translation of his Hebrew name, which is not known. He was later thought to be crucified at Patras in Achaia, and was thereafter venerated as Saint Andrew and adopted as the patron saint of Scotland, Greece, Russia, and Romania; various forms of the name have thus become popular in these countries. In Scotland, the city of St Andrews was named after him, and in England, more than 600 churches were dedicated to him. Other saints of the same name include Saint Andrew of Crete (650-740), who was cured of dumbness after his Holy Communion; Andrew Avellino (1521-1608), the patron saint of Naples and Sicily; and Andrew Fournet (1752-1834), who helped establish the order of the Daughters of the Cross. In literature, the name is borne by the slow and comic Sir Andrew Aguecheek in Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night (1601); this association, together with the use of the term 'Merry Andrew' to refer to a clown during the Tudor period lent a comic touch to the name during the time." }, { "docid": "D507896#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_was_Andrew_Jackson%27s_position_in_the_Tennessee_Militia\nWhat are the names of Andrew Jackson's kids?", "text": "Mikestone8 1,179 Contributions What are the names of Andrew Jackson's kids?

Let’s get to it!The Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) scheme was introduced on 1st July 2009 (replacing the Trader Unique Reference Number system previously used in the UK) and it’s basically a method for tracking imports and exports within the EU. An EORI number is assigned to an individual legal identity (i.e. sole trader, partnership, company or individual) by your local member state (so if you’re in the UK – by HMRC) and that EORI number is then used to identify you and your shipments across all EU countries. And really it’s as simple as that – it is just a number given to importers and exporters throughout Europe that can be easily and consistently identified by customs. Do I Need An EORI Number? Although the official explanations are slightly more complicated, to keep things simple and easy to understand – if you are involved with imports OR exports to or from the EU, then you do need an EORI number, as without it you won’t be able to complete the Entry Summary Declaration or Exit Summary Declaration. How Do I Get An EORI Number? To get an EORI number, you simply fill in the application form and send it to HMRC. Which form you need to complete depends on whether or not you’re VAT registered –Form C220 is for VAT registered applicants and can be downloaded here.

In this form, it is more common in the Lowlands, but it is widespread in Scotland in different forms. In the Highlands, it was rendered as Mac Andrew, of medieval Scottish origin. Both names share the same Scottish Gaelic derivation of ‘Gilleaindreas’ - literally a servant of St. Andrew, Scotland’s patron saint. Though it is said there is no exact place of origin, the Kinrara manuscript contains details of a claim that the Mac Andrews came to Badenoch from Moidart c.1400. The tales of the vengeance of Iain beg Mac Aindrea on cattle lifters who raided Badenoch may confirm this. However, there is no disputing the intellectual pedigree that his kinfolk subsequently established. The tradition of scholarly erudition has significant roots in Anderson clan history throughout all the disciplines. This tradition was first established by Alexander Anderson who published works on geometry and algebra in Paris between 1612 and 1619. His cousin, David Anderson of Finshaugh, shared a similar skill in mechanics and mathematics that he applied to removing a large rock that had obstructed the entrance to Aberdeen harbour." }, { "docid": "D242072#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Andrews\nSt Andrews", "text": "\"For other uses, see St Andrews (disambiguation).

It was also a common name among the Jews two centuries before Christ. Andreas became a popular name among later Christians in homage to Saint Andrew from the New Testament, one of Christ’s disciples (in fact, the first disciple called by Jesus). A Galilean fisherman and the brother of Simon Peter (St. Peter), St. Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist and one of the first to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. After the Resurrection, St. Andrew went on to preach in Asia Minor and Greece. He became one of the most popular saints in the Middle Ages and was chosen to be the patron saint of Russia, Greece and Scotland. He is also considered the founder and first bishop of the Byzantium Church (just as his brother St. Peter is considered the first pope of the Roman Catholic Church). Like most of the Twelve Disciples (Peter, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, Thaddeus/Jude, Simon and Judas), usage of Andrew as a given name has perpetuated into modern times. Not only is there Andrew (English) and Anders (Nordic), but there’s also Andreas (Greek, Latin, German), André (French), Andrea (Italian), Andrei (Russian) and Andrés (Spanish). In fact, due to Andrew’s significance among Eastern orthodox Christians, there are actually many Slavic variations of this name, as well." }, { "docid": "D201313#0", "title": "https://www.thoughtco.com/metamorphic-rock-types-4122981\nTypes of Metamorphic Rocks", "text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science Types of Metamorphic Rocks Share Flipboard Email Print Metamorphic rock is formed by heat and pressure.

Photo courtesy Lanzi via Wikimedia Commons Alabaster is a common name, not a geological name, for massive gypsum rock. It is a translucent stone, usually white, that is used for sculpture and interior decorations. It consists of the mineral gypsum with a very fine grain, massive habit, and even coloring. Alabaster is also used to refer to a similar type of marble, but a better name for that is onyx marble...or just marble. Onyx is a much harder stone composed of chalcedony with straight bands of color instead of the curved forms typical of agate. So if true onyx is a banded chalcedony, a marble with the same appearance should be called banded marble instead of onyx marble; and certainly not alabaster because it is not banded at all. There is some confusion because the ancients used gypsum rock, processed gypsum and marble for the same purposes under the name alabaster.02of 25Arkose Pictures of Sedimentary Rock Types.

The name Angela is derived from Church Latin as the feminine version of the boy’s name Angelus (meaning ‘angel’). The classical Greek word “angelos” means ‘messenger’ but it has acquired its full meaning (messenger of God, specifically) from the Bible (i.e., an angel). The name took off in Great Britain and the United Sates in the 18th century onwards, but Angela has been in use throughout Europe. As such, the name does not feel distinctly Italian, Spanish, Greek or English. It’s a rare example of a universal crossover name through its widespread adoption in many languages, cultures and geographies. Angela is currently a Top 30 name in Spain (based off 2009 data) while Angeliki is a Top 10 choice in Greece. Elaborate versions of this name include Angelina and Angelique. Angie is mainly an English pet form, but it is also used in France and Germany.

Rather than sitting through a semester of Intro Stats, let's get right to the point and explain in clear language what all these statistical terms mean and how they relate to one another. What Does Alpha Mean in a Hypothesis Test? Before you run any statistical test, you must first determine your alpha level, which is also called the “significance level.” By definition, the alpha level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true. Translation: It’s the probability of making a wrong decision. Thanks to famed statistician R. A. Fisher, most folks typically use an alpha level of 0.05. However, if you’re analyzing airplane engine failures, you may want to lower the probability of making a wrong decision and use a smaller alpha. On the other hand, if you're making paper airplanes, you might be willing to increase alpha and accept the higher risk of making the wrong decision. Like all probabilities, alpha ranges from 0 to 1." }, { "docid": "D3308895#0", "title": "http://www.nstperfume.com/2014/06/16/tom-ford-velvet-orchid-fragrance-review/\nTom Ford Velvet Orchid ~ fragrance review", "text": "\"Tom Ford Velvet Orchid ~ fragrance review Posted by Angela on 16 June 2014 87 Comments The old saying has it that “everything old is new again.” Tom Ford Velvet Orchid, a salute to the grand oriental perfumes of the 1980s, seems to have taken that saying to heart. Lovers of Yves Saint Laurent Opium, Estée Lauder Cinnabar, Boucheron de Boucheron, and other room-permeating, spicy-woody-ambery fragrances will want to give it a try. Fans of Velvet Orchid’s older sibling, Black Orchid, will probably see no reason to switch. Velvet Orchid’s notes include bergamot, mandarin, honey, vanilla, orange blossom, rose, jasmine, narcissus, magnolia, Cattleya leopoldii orchid, heliotrope, rum, suede, labdanum, sandalwood, and myrrh — not that any of these notes stand out distinctly. Even without the gorgeous deco bottle and “orchid” in its name, a single whiff ties Velvet Orchid to Black Orchid. Although Velvet Orchid has the guts to take the ring with any of the big orientals, it’s billed as a floriental fragrance. And maybe compared to Black Orchid, it is. I imagine the Velvet Orchid’s team of perfumers, including big names Antoine Maisondieu, Shyamala Maisondieu, Calice Becker and Yann Vasnier, plus a crowd of interns and not-yet famous noses, pondering how to transform Black Orchid. “We’ve got to make it more feminine,” Yann Vasnier might have said. “" }, { "docid": "D1570425#0", "title": "http://new.euro-med.dk/20150928-is-angela-merkel-europes-evil-spirit-or-who-is-managing-her.php\nIs Angela Merkel Europe´s Evil Spirit?

Flag What is a mother's maiden name? Answer by Gregg Anderton Confidence votes 28.0KCommunity Manager who loves to wrench on cars, grow plants in the garden, remodel my home, and observe nature. In the English-speaking world, until recently it was the universal custom that upon marriage the woman would take the surname of her husband. Before marriage, she would use the surname of her father. When a woman was not married, she was a \"\"maiden,\"\" a woman who never had sexual relations. So the \"\"maiden name\"\" of a woman is the surname she used before marriage, usually that of her father. Your mother's maiden name is the surname your mother used before she ever married, and is thus her father's (your maternal grandfather's) surname. Before computers were widely used for activities such as genealogy and fan gossip, knowledge of the maiden name of one's mother was not readily available to people outside the immediate family. That name was therefore used as a security device by banks and other institutions." }, { "docid": "D3053954#0", "title": "https://propheticdreamers.com/colors-in-dreams/\nColors in Dreams", "text": "\"Colors in dreams are only important when they are not details.

Fueling the fires were comments Azealia Banks made to MTV Brazil that she and Lady Gaga were working on a song called “Ratchet.” Because Lady Gaga had posted a picture with earrings similar to those in the Beyoncé photograph in September, it was thought that the two megastars, and perhaps Banks, too, could be working on a follow-up to their hit single “Telephone.” Eventually, Beyoncé’s representative told the Cut: “There is no confirmation on any song titles. ”One of Beyoncé’s skills is trend-spotting, and indeed ratchet has been all over popular culture in the past year. LL Cool J released a single named “ Ratchet ” last November, using the word as an adjective to describe a woman who is only after a man’s money. In his September single “ Bandz a Make Her Dance ,” Juicy J boasts of his inability to refuse the advances of “ratchet” women. And in March of 2012, Nicki Minaj dropped “ Right By My Side ,” with Chris Brown, in which she lamented that “all them bitches is ratchet.” At the same time, the “ Ratchet Girl Anthem ,” a parody track recorded by Philip and Emmanuel Houston, collected tens of millions of Youtube hits. In it, the Atlanta brothers pretend to be ratchet women describing their ilk: They carry outdated flip phones, go clubbing while pregnant, and try to punch other women in the face. “" }, { "docid": "D2522995#0", "title": "http://boymeetsworld.wikia.com/wiki/Shawn_Hunter\nShawn Hunter", "text": "\"Shawn Hunter First appearance Pilot (BMW) Girl Meets Home for the Holidays (GMW)Final appearance Brave New World: Part 2 (BMW) Girl Meets Goodbye (GMW)Information Name Shawn Patrick Hunter Role Cory 's best friend, Chet 's son, Jack 's half-brother, Virna 's step-son, Angela 's boyfriend/ex-boyfriend, George Feeny 's student/mentee Final Status Photographer & Writer for \"\"Hit the Road\"\"/Marries Katy Hart/adopts Maya Hart Portrayed by Rider Strong“ I'm afraid of getting hurt, okay?

So it was used to mean “a very little part”, and in negative sentences it assumed the meaning of “in no way, none, at all”. So saying “Non mi piace mica” (I don't mica like it) was like saying “I like it even less than a crumb” which is the same as saying “I don't like it at all”.

The aquatic annelida must metamorphosize into its adult form while the land annelida simply grow. Some reproduce asexually by budding, fissure, or fragmentation.

During pulmonary circulation, blood rich in oxygen is pumped into the left atrium of the heart from the lungs, whereas blood low in oxygen exits the heart through the right ventricle to the lung. The blood that is low in oxygen is also high in carbon dioxide, which is expelled through the lungs. Another function of the circulatory system is completed by systemic circulation, which takes blood rich in oxygen from the heart throughout the body, and takes blood low in oxygen back to the heart. This process involves the ventricles, arteries and capillaries. Circulatory Systems in Living Creatures Some scientists separate the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems because both systems operate using the same biological pathways, but many scientists categorize them together as the circulatory system. All vertebrates, such as mammals, birds and reptiles, as well as annelids and cephalopods, have closed circulatory systems, in which the blood travels through vessels to organs and back to the heart. Other animals, such as mollusks, have open circulatory systems in which the blood bathes the organs directly. However, in both types of circulatory systems, the purpose is the same: to get nutrients to the cells and carry waste away from the cells.

What is the difference between respiration in the sense of gas exchange and cellular respiration? Respiration in the sense of gas exchange is the process by which an organism absorbs the gases necessary for its cellular metabolism from the environment and expels the gases that are the products of this metabolism. Cellular respiration (aerobic or anaerobic) is the chemical reaction in which organic molecules are broken down to produce ATP molecules, the main energy source for the metabolism. Gas exchange is fundamental for cellular respiration, since the supplying of reagents (oxygen, in aerobic cellular respiration) and the expelling of products (e.g., carbon dioxide) of this chemical reaction depends on gas exchange. More Bite-Sized Q&As Below2. What is the chemical equation for aerobic cellular respiration? The chemical equation for aerobic cellular respiration is the following: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ + 36 ADP + 36 P --> 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + 36 ATP3. Keeping in mind the chemical equation for aerobic cellular respiration, which molecules does the cell need and which molecules does it release in the process? Keeping in mind the chemical equation for aerobic cellular respiration, we can observe that glucose and molecular oxygen are needed as reagents and carbon dioxide and water are released." }, { "docid": "D3414284#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/18050819/biology-ch-5-16-flash-cards/\nBiology Ch 5-16", "text": "\"344 terms mnsmb7Biology Ch 5-16Circulatory systems and Immunology In plants circulation is called translocation.

For example, in sponges, the cells are arranged as loose cell aggregates, i.e., they exhibit cellular level of organisation. Some division of labour (activities) occur among the cells. In coelenterates, the arrangement of cells is more complex. Here the cells performing the same function are arranged into tissues, hence is called tissue level of organisation. A still higher level of organisation, i.e., organ level [ organ level of organisation] is exhibited by members of Platyhelminthes and other higher phyla where tissues are grouped together to form organs, each specialised for a particular function.

Anomia describes the individual's lack of integration in social life. Anomia is more closely related to occupational aspiration than to occupational level. The term anomia has proved much easier to measure than has David Emile Durkheim's concept of ‘anomie’. In the philosophy of law and political science, anomia is the state of the absence of law, the negation of law in the sense of lex. Anomia in the sense of the lack of a positive law promulgated by the authority of the state (lex) occurs in conceptions that accept the existence of a pre-social and pre-political state of nature as a historical fact or as a mere hypothesis. Sociological concept of anomie has undergone important transformations when applied in psychiatric research. It is argued that these transformations are not fully in concordance with the original theories of anomie as they were set forth by Durkheim and Merton. Two approaches in social and cross-cultural psychiatry are examined in this context. First, the concept of anomia as introduced and applied in the research of Leo Srole is discussed." } ]

It has been estimated that nearly 2 million people suffer some degree of head injury every year in the United States alone. Although the vast majority of these do not seek medical treatment, approximately 400,000 to 500,000 TBI victims require hospitalization. In the US, the societal cost for TBI has been estimated at between $48 and $83.5 billion per year. Only 12.5% of the annual financial expense is accounted for by direct cost (e.g. hospitalization, physician costs). Since most TBI patients are young and in their peak productive years, the indirect costs (reduced or loss of productivity) represent the greatest loss to society." }, { "docid": "D3031297#0", "title": "http://www.galtsgulch-cr.com/?page_id=24\nDonât Make A Million Dollar Mistake", "text": "Don’t Make A Million Dollar Mistake If you’re a US citizen, and you make the decision to buy property abroad, you need to immediately find out what your obligations are in reporting these offshore assets to the IRS. You may think that since you have only purchased a vacation or retirement property and there is little or no income associated with it, that you have no reporting requirements. Boy, does the IRS have a million dollar surprise waiting for you!Let’s look at an example: John & Julie traveled to Costa Rica in 2002 and just fell in love with the place. They found a home that was just perfect for $250,000. Their attorney in Costa Rica advised them that, since they were foreigners, they should form a Costa Rican corporation, a Sociedad Anomia (S. A.) to buy and hold the property. So, with the help of the attorney, John & Julie formed the corporation and they each acted as officers, directors, and shareholders. John wired the $250,000 to his attorney to buy the house and the sale went off without a hitch. John & Julie never thought to report the purchase to the IRS as there was no income there to be taxed.

Many diseases previously classified as degenerative are now known to be associated with specific metabolic deficiencies or have other definite causes (Table 24-1 ). Others are transmitted by infectious agents (see Chapter 25 ). However, we are still left with a large number of progressive diseases of unknown etiology, and their classification is based on pathologic and clinical findings. This is true of many of the disorders of the basal ganglia and the rest of the extrapyramidal system. However these disorders will be discussed in Chapter 26. As time passes, it is quite likely that the specific biochemical and pathophysiological processes underpinning many of these diseases will be elucidated and their classifications will change. In this chapter we discuss the more common of these conditions (designated by asterisks in Tables 24-2 ). They range from extremely common (Alzheimer disease) to quite rare (the spinocerebellar degenerations).

Aphasia: Diagnosis The Diagnosis of Aphasia Several standardized tests are commonly used in the diagnosis of aphasia. Some of these are the Minnesota Test for Differential Diagnosis (MTDDA ), the Porch Index of Communicative Ability (PICA), and the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE). The MTDDA was developed by Schuell in 1965. This comprehensive test assesses the patient's strengths and weakness in all language modalities. The PICA (Porch, 1967) samples fewer language behaviors than the MTDDA. However, it is known for its elaborate scoring system, which allows the examiner to differentiate between responses elicited with different degrees of cueing, various types of errors, and also to note the immediacy of the response. The BDAE, developed by Goodglass and Kaplan in 1972, has been revised twice, in 1983 and 2001. I was one of the reviewers for the new edition.

On my latest visit to the beach, I gathered some jingle shells, of which most were black, as you can see in my photo. One is somewhat silver, and another has bits of lighter tan, which means it still retains some of it’s original color. But jingle shells don’t start out as black. Just like the lightning whelk below, shells turn black because of sea and sand conditions. According to a comment left on another blog, The Ocracoke Island Journal, shells that have been washed into a low oxygen area will turn black due to the presence of iron sulfide.

Oyster reefs in Florida are found in nearshore areas and estuaries of both coasts, but grow especially vigorously near estuarine river mouths where waters are brackish and less than 10 meters deep. For example, the Apalachicola River in northern Florida is a particularly productive area for oysters, and supplies over 90% of the state's annual oyster catch. Within the Indian River Lagoon, oyster reefs may be found in the vicinity of spoil islands and impounded areas. In addition to being commercially valuable, oyster reefs serve a number of important ecological roles in coastal systems: providing important habitat for a large number of species; improving water quality; stabilizing bottom areas, and influencing water circulation patterns within estuaries. Oyster reefs are built primarily by the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, through successive reproduction and settlement of larvae onto existing reef structure. Oysters in Florida spawn from late spring through the fall. The planktonic larvae that develop require a hard substratum to settle upon in order to complete development to the juvenile stage, and prefer to settle on the shells of other oysters. Thus, over time, continued settlement and subsequent growth of generations of oysters may form massive reef structures consisting of staggering numbers of individuals.

IQ SCORESIQ Scores demonstrate an individual’s performance in the test compared to everyone else in the same age group who has taken the test. As IQ research progressed through the years, different tests were developed and each was given its own scoring system. Therefore, an IQ of 130 is an insignificant claim unless you know the exact test that was used to measure your score. In order to compare different IQ tests against each other, their scores have to be converted to ‘percentiles’.

What was the standard deviation, the SD, of the scale? Good intelligence tests, scientifically constructed ones, all try to measure the same thing, general intelligence, the g -factor, but as with height or distance, intelligence can be measured in several units. If talking about a person's height, you can usually deduce the unit used from the figure, for instance if I tell you that I'm 180 tall, you can deduce that I mean 180 centimeters, because neither 180 meters, nor 180 feet or 180 niches, would be a plausible height for a person of my species. IQ is much trickier, in that the three scales are close together (the ratio between centimeters and inches is 2.5, whereas the ratio between the two most commonly used IQ scales is 1.07) and are all based on an average of 100 (whereas the basis for height, or indeed any distance, is zero, the minimum possible distance between two points in space). The two most common scales use an SD of 15 and 16, respectively, so that a score of 115 on the one is the same as a score of 116 on the other. The difference between those two are so small that you can ignore them. The problem is the 3rd scale, the Cattell scale, having an SD of 24, so that on that a score of 124 is the same as a score of 116 and 115, respectively, on the two other scales." }, { "docid": "D156268#0", "title": "https://www.verywell.com/what-is-considered-a-low-iq-2795282\nHow Low IQ Scores Are Determined and What They Mean", "text": "\"Theories Cognitive Psychology How Low IQ Scores Are Determined and What They Mean How They're Classified and What a Score Under 70 Means By Kendra Cherry Updated March 06, 2018Share Pin Email Print Alessio Damato, Mikhail Ryazanov / Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0)While we often hear a lot of talk about high and low intelligence quotient (IQ) scores, many people aren't quite sure what these designations really mean. Definition of a Low IQ Score An IQ score of 70 or below is considered a low score. Remember, on most standardized tests of intelligence, the average score is set at 100. Anything over 140 is considered high or genius-level. Sixty-eight percent of all scores fall within plus or minus 15 points of the mean (so between 85 and 115). So what does it mean to have a score 70 or below? In the past, an IQ score below 70 was considered a benchmark for mental retardation, an intellectual disability characterized by significant cognitive impairments. Today, however, IQ scores alone are not used to diagnose intellectual disability. Instead, the criteria for a diagnosis includes an IQ of 70 or below, evidence that these cognitive limitations existed before the age of 18, serious limitations in areas such as learning and reasoning, and severe limitations in adaptive areas such as communication and self-help skills. Intellectual disability is the most common type of developmental disorder and affects approximately 0.05 percent to 1.55 percent of all people." }, { "docid": "D3494200#0", "title": "https://www.darkmoon.me/2012/world-iq-figures-a-complete-chart-with-notes-and-comments/\nWorld IQ Figures: A Complete Chart with Notes and Comments", "text": "World IQ Figures: A Complete Chart with Notes and Comments Lasha Darkmoon January 29, 2012 March 25, 2017 Articles, Recommended Reading Including Additional Material on high Jewish, Chinese and Indian IQs Click to expand COLOR CODERED = All higher IQs of 100 and over BLACK = All mediocre IQs in the 80-100 range GREEN = All lower IQs of under 801 Afghanistan 832 Albania 903 Algeria 84 4 Angola 695 Antigua & Barbuda 75 6 Argentina 96 7 Armenia 93 8 Australia 98 9 Austria 102 10 Azerbaijan 8711 Bahamas 7812 Bahrain 8313 Bangladesh 8114 Barbados 7815 Belarus 9616 Belgium 10017 Belize 8318 Benin 6919 Bhutan 7820 Bolivia 8521 Botswana 7222 Brazil 8723 Brunei 9224 Bulgaria 9325 Burkina Faso 6626 Burma (Myanmar) 8627 Burundi 7028 Cambodia 89 29 Cameroon 7030 Canada 9731 Cape Verde 7832 Central African Rep. 68 33 Chad 72 34 Chile 93 35 China 100 36 Colombia 88 37 Comoros 7938 Congo (Braz) 73 39 Congo (Zaire) 6540 Costa Rica 9141 Côte d’Ivoire 42 Croatia 90 43 Cuba 85 44 Cyprus 9245 Czech Republic 9746 Denmark 9847 Djibouti 68 48 Dominica 75 49 Dominican Republic 8450 Ecuador 80 51 Egypt 83 52 El Salvador 84 53 Equatorial Guinea 59 54 Eritrea 68 55 Estonia 97 56 Ethiopia 6357 Fiji 84 58 Finland 97 59 France 9860 Gabon 66 61 Gambia 64 62 Georgia 93 63 Germany 10264 Ghana 71 65 Greece 92 66 Grenada 75 67 Guatemala 79 68 Guinea 6369 Guinea-Bissau 63 70 Guyana 8471 Haiti 72 72 Honduras 8473 Hong Kong 107 74 Hungary 9975 Iceland 98 76 India 81 (But see ‘Update on Indian IQ’ below)77 Indonesia 89 78 Iran 84 79 Iraq 87 80 Ireland 93 81 Israel 94 (Ashkenazi Jews = 110-115.

This is 10 points above the Hong Kong Chinese (107), 20 points above the Canadians (97), 30 points above the Mexicans (87), and 50 points above the Nigerians (67).“The 2005 paper “Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence” by Cochran, Hardy, and Harpending, argued on the basis of inherited diseases and the peculiar economic situation of Ashkenazi Jews in medieval Europe, that Ashkenazi Jews as a group now inherit a cognitive profile that includes higher verbal and mathematical intelligence than other ethnic groups, along with lower spatial intelligence. One observational basis for inferring that Ashkenazi Jews have high intelligence is their prevalance in intellectually demanding fields. From 1901–2010, 21.5% of Nobel prize winners were Jewish, while Jews make up a much smaller fraction of the population of the countries represented. For example, 36% of Nobel prize winners from the United States have been Jewish, while Jews make up 2.1% of the U. S. population. G. Cochran, J. Hardy and H. Harpending additionally cite the disproportionately high percentage of Ashkenazi Chess Grandmasters and Fields Medalists in mathematics, as well as winners of the Turing Award in computer science. Their median IQ is calculated at 117 in From Chance to Choice: Genetics and Justice (2000), published by Cambridge University Press. This is 10 points higher than the generally-accepted IQ of their closest rivals—Northeast Asians—and almost 20% higher than the global average." }, { "docid": "D3529825#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_does_an_IQ_of_135_mean\nWhat does an IQ of 135 mean?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Social Sciences Psychology IQ What does an IQ of 135 mean?

[ 1] [2] [3] [4] There are several publishers of tests of cognitive abilities. No two publishers use exactly the same classification labels, which have changed from time to time since the beginning of intelligence testing in the early twentieth century. IQ scores have been derived by two different methods since the advent of cognitive ability tests. The first method historically was the \"\"ratio IQ\"\", based on estimating a \"\"mental age\"\" of the test-taker (rounded to a specified number of years and months), which was then divided by the test-taker's \"\"chronological age\"\" (rounded to a specified number of years and months). For example, a mental age score of thirteen years and zero months for a test-taker with the chronological age ten years and zero months results in a quotient of 1.3 after doing the division. The division result was then multiplied by 100 so that scores could be reported without decimal points. Thus the score in the example would be reported as IQ 130. The current scoring method for all IQ tests is the \"\"deviation IQ\"\". In this method, an IQ score of 100 means that the test-taker's performance on the test is at the median level of performance in the sample of test-takers of about the same age used to norm the test." }, { "docid": "D1034684#0", "title": "http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/race-iq-and-wealth/\nRace, IQ, and Wealth", "text": "Race, IQ, and Wealth What the facts tell us about a taboo subject By Ron Unz • July 18, 2012Tweetcarlosgardel / shutterstock At the end of April, Charles Kenny, a former World Bank economist specializing in international development, published a blistering attack in Foreign Policy entitled “ Dumb and Dumber ,” with the accusatory subtitle “Are development experts becoming racists?” Kenny charged that a growing number of development economists were turning towards genetic and other intrinsic human traits as a central explanation of national economic progress, often elevating these above the investment and regulatory issues that have long been the focus of international agencies. Although Kenny suggested that many of his targets had been circumspect in how they raised these highly controversial ideas, he singled out IQ and the Wealth of Nations, published in 2001 by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, as a particularly extreme and hateful example of this trend. These authors explicitly argue that IQ scores for different populations are largely fixed and hereditary, and that these—rather than economic or governmental structures—tend to determine the long-term wealth of a given country. Kenny claimed that such IQ theories were not merely racist and deeply offensive but had also long been debunked by scientific experts—notably the prominent biologist Stephen Jay Gould in his 1980 book The Mismeasure of Man. As Kenny soon discovered from the responses to his online article, he had seriously erred in quoting the authority of Gould, whose fraud on race and brain-size issues, presumably in service to his self-proclaimed Marxist beliefs, last year received further coverage in the New York Times. Science largely runs on the honor system, and once simple statements of fact—in Gould’s case, the physical volume of human skulls—are found to be false, we cannot trust more complex claims made by the particular scholar. Despite Kenny’s obvious lack of familiarity with the technical questions he raised, these issues remain important ones to explore, given today’s globalized world. After all, it is generally acknowledged that some people are smarter than other people, and this almost syllogistically raises the possibility that some peoples may be smarter than other peoples. Most nations prefer material wealth to poverty, and it seems plausible that smarter people might be better at generating the productivity needed to achieve this goal." }, { "docid": "D1793538#0", "title": "http://mhhe.com/socscience/intro/cafe/common/stat/dstats10.mhtml\n.", "text": "The Normal Curve and Percentiles As shown in the histograms in Figure 2, the normal curve is a bell-shaped graph that represents a hypothetical frequency distribution in which the frequency of scores is greatest near the mean and progressively decreases toward the extremes. In essence, the normal curve is a smooth frequency polygon based on an infinite number of scores. The mean, median, and mode of a normal curve all have the same value. This falls at the center of this symmetric distribution and splits it in half, such that 50% of the observations are above and 50% of the observations are below it. Many physical or psychological characteristics, such as height, weight, and scores on many standardized intelligence tests fall on a normal curve. One useful characteristic of a normal curve is that certain percentages of scores fall at certain distances (measured in standard deviation units) from its mean. A special statistical table makes it a simple matter to determine the percentage of scores that fall above or below a particular score or between two scores on the curve. For example, about 68 percent of scores fall between plus and minus one standard deviation from the mean; about 95 percent fall between plus and minus two standard deviations from the mean; and about 99 percent fall between plus and minus three standard deviations from the mean. Figure 4 contains a normal distribution with the percentage of scores at +/- 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations from the mean shown.

Intelligence quotient Medical diagnostics An example of one kind of IQ test item, modeled after items in the Raven's Progressive Matrices test ICD-10-PCS Z01.8ICD-9-CM 94.01 [ edit on Wikidata]An intelligence quotient ( IQ) is a total score derived from several standardized tests designed to assess human intelligence. The abbreviation \"\"IQ\"\" was coined by the psychologist William Stern for the German term Intelligenzquotient, his term for a scoring method for intelligence tests at University of Breslau he advocated in a 1912 book. [ 1] Historically, IQ is a score obtained by dividing a person's mental age score, obtained by administering an intelligence test, by the person's chronological age, both expressed in terms of years and months. The resulting fraction is multiplied by 100 to obtain the IQ score. [ 2] When current IQ tests were developed, the median raw score of the norming sample is defined as IQ 100 and scores each standard deviation (SD) up or down are defined as 15 IQ points greater or less, [3] although this was not always so historically. By this definition, approximately two-thirds of the population scores are between IQ 85 and IQ 115. About 2.5 percent of the population scores above 130, and 2.5 percent below 70.

You learn that your child, with an IQ score of 150, falls into the highly gifted range. What does that mean? Before you can understand what it means for a child to be highly gifted (or moderately gifted, or profoundly gifted), you need to understand what IQ scores represent. How IQ Scores Are Measured An IQ score is an Intelligence Quotient. This is a measure of intelligence, primarily of a person's reasoning ability. The higher the score, the greater that person's reasoning ability. If we took everyone's IQ scores and plotted them, we would see them distributed in a normal bell curve. That means that most scores would fall somewhere in the center of that bell curve." }, { "docid": "D273053#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_reference_chart\nIQ classification", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from IQ reference chart)navigation search Score distribution chart for sample of 905 children tested on 1916 Stanford–Binet Test IQ classification is the practice by IQ test publishers of labeling IQ score ranges with category names such as \"\"superior\"\" or \"\"average\"\". [ 1] [2] [3] [4] There are several publishers of tests of cognitive abilities. No two publishers use exactly the same classification labels, which have changed from time to time since the beginning of intelligence testing in the early twentieth century. IQ scores have been derived by two different methods since the advent of cognitive ability tests. The first method historically was the \"\"ratio IQ\"\", based on estimating a \"\"mental age\"\" of the test-taker (rounded to a specified number of years and months), which was then divided by the test-taker's \"\"chronological age\"\" (rounded to a specified number of years and months). For example, a mental age score of thirteen years and zero months for a test-taker with the chronological age ten years and zero months results in a quotient of 1.3 after doing the division. The division result was then multiplied by 100 so that scores could be reported without decimal points. Thus the score in the example would be reported as IQ 130. The current scoring method for all IQ tests is the \"\"deviation IQ\"\". In this method, an IQ score of 100 means that the test-taker's performance on the test is at the median level of performance in the sample of test-takers of about the same age used to norm the test." }, { "docid": "D131691#0", "title": "http://www.i3mindware.com/what-is-an-iq-test-and-iq-score\nWhat Is An IQ Test?

While people have different cognitive strengths and weaknesses (e.g. language, music, math, visual), consistent correlations between them show us there is a common component to all of these. This common, underlying factor is called ‘general intelligence’ or ‘ g ‘.g is measured with a variety of psychometric assessments that are often referred to as “IQ tests”. IQ tests are the most reliable (e.g. consistent) and valid (e.g. accurate and meaningful) type of psychometric test that psychologists make use of. They are well-established as a good measure of a general intelligence or g. IQ tests are widely used in many contexts – educational, professional and for leisure. Universities use IQ tests (e.g. SAT entrance exams) to select students, companies use IQ tests (job aptitude tests) to screen applicants, and high IQ societies such as Mensa use IQ test scores as membership criteria. Note that many IQ tests on the internet are not standardized or valid. Their scores are not meaningful, and they do not accurately measure your intelligence. A lot of scientific work goes into developing an accurate, valid IQ test that is standardized." } ]

The benefit of this is that I will now translate it into a (hopefully) easy to understand blog post for you! So if you’re wondering what AHAs and BHAs are, and why people keep going on about acid toners, READ ON. First of all, why should we exfoliate? In essence, exfoliating removes dead skin cells. This improves the texture and appearance of your skin (makes it look nicer), reduces breakouts (makes it behave nicer) and can improve absorption of other skincare products you’re using (making it all-around better). There are benefits to scrubs and other products that exfoliate in the ‘normal’ way, also known as physical or manual exfoliators." }, { "docid": "D1025716#0", "title": "http://babynames.allparenting.com/list/Celtic_Baby_Names/Arden/details/\n.", "text": "\"Search 30000 Baby Name Meanings Advanced Baby Names Search And get more name ideas later on.

William Shakespeare 's style of writing was borrowed from the conventions of the day and adapted to his needs. Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 Form3 Similarities to contemporaries4 Differences from contemporaries5 References6 Sources Overview [ edit]Shakespeare's first plays were written in the conventional style of the day. He wrote them in a stylised language that does not always spring naturally from the needs of the characters or the drama. [ 1] The poetry depends on extended, sometimes elaborate metaphors and conceits, and the language is often rhetorical —written for actors to declaim rather than speak. For example, the grand speeches in Titus Andronicus, in the view of some critics, often hold up the action, and the verse in Two Gentlemen of Verona has been described as stilted. [ 2] [3]Soon, however, Shakespeare began to adapt the traditional styles to his own purposes. The opening soliloquy of Richard III has its roots in the self-declaration of Vice in medieval drama. At the same time, Richard's vivid self-awareness looks forward to the soliloquies of Shakespeare's mature plays.

Shakespeare appears countless times in town minutes and court records, spelled in a variety of ways, from Shagspere to Chacsper. Unfortunately, there are very few records that reveal William Shakespeare's relationship to or with the many other Stratford Shakespeares. Genealogists claim to have discovered one man related to Shakespeare who was hanged in Gloucestershire for theft in 1248, and Shakespeare's father, in an application for a coat of arms, claimed that his grandfather was a hero in the War of the Roses and was granted land in Warwickshire in 1485 by Henry VII. No historical evidence has been discovered to corroborate this story of the man who would be William Shakespeare's great-grandfather, but, luckily, we do have information regarding his paternal and maternal grandfathers. The Bard's paternal grandfather was Richard Shakespeare (d. 1561), a farmer in Snitterfield, a village four miles northeast of Stratford. There is no record of Richard Shakespeare before 1529, but details about his life after this reveal that he was a tenant farmer, who, on occasion, would be fined for grazing too many cattle on the common grounds and for not attending manor court. There is no record of Richard Shakespeare's wife, but together they had two sons (possibly more), John and Henry. Richard Shakespeare worked on several different sections of land during his lifetime, including the land owned by the wealthy Robert Arden of Wilmecote, Shakespeare's maternal grandfather. Robert Arden (d. 1556) was the son of Thomas Arden of Wilmecote, Shakespeare's maternal great-grandfather, who probably belonged to the aristocratic family of the Ardens of Park Hall." }, { "docid": "D876731#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_mother%27s_maiden_name\nWhat is a mother's maiden name?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society Society and Civilization Genealogy What is a mother's maiden name?

In the English-speaking world, until recently it was the universal custom that upon marriage the woman would take the surname of her husband. Before marriage, she would use the surname of her father. When a woman was not married, she was a \"\"maiden,\"\" a woman who never had sexual relations. So the \"\"maiden name\"\" of a woman is the surname she used before marriage, usually that of her father. Your mother's maiden name is the surname your mother used before she ever married, and is thus her father's (your maternal grandfather's) surname. Before computers were widely used for activities such as genealogy and fan gossip, knowledge of the maiden name of one's mother was not readily available to people outside the immediate family. That name was therefore used as a security device by banks and other institutions." }, { "docid": "D1210446#0", "title": "http://www.thinkbabynames.com/names/1/faithful\nBoy Names associated withFaithful", "text": "\"Home > Faithful Names Boy Names associated with Faithful SEARCH \"\"FAITHFUL\"\"By Association By Meaning Only F aithful baby names and what they mean, for faithful, dedicated, steadfast, honest, with 46 results.

Performance history is often of limited use, as the first recorded performance of many plays was not necessarily when that play was first performed. For example, the first recorded performance of Romeo and Juliet was not until 1662, yet we know the play was performed in Shakespeare's lifetime.

Similarly, dates of first publication are often relatively useless in determining a chronology, as roughly half the plays were not published until seven years after Shakespeare's death, in the First Folio (1623), prepared by John Heminges and Henry Condell, and published by Edward Blount, William Jaggard and Isaac Jaggard.

This portrait of battling cosmetic titans, which opened on Monday at the Goodman Theater here starring a deliciously paired Patti Lu Pone and Christine Ebersole, doesn’t just show its whole hand from the get-go; it does so as eagerly as a debutante with a fabulous new manicure. Written by Doug Wright (book), Scott Frankel (music) and Michael Korie (lyrics), and directed by Michael Greif, “War Paint” lets you know exactly what it is and where it’s going (or not going) in a prologue, so you can decide right away if it’s your cup of skin toner. Seated on opposite sides of the stage at vanity tables are two middle-aged women in peignoirs appraising themselves in the mirror and applying the ritualistic goo of the show’s title — that is, their makeup. They are, it turns out, Helena Rubinstein (1872-1965) and Elizabeth Arden (1881-1966), masters of self-invention who ruled the American beauty market during the mid-20th century. As embodied here, these glamorous gals look as joltingly different as, well, Ms. Lu Pone (playing Rubinstein) and Ms. Ebersole (Arden), marquee Broadway performers who have dominated many a musical, though in utterly dissimilar styles. ( For the record, they are both in top form here. ) But wait a minute. The Polish-born Rubinstein may have the exotic and imperious countenance of an aging silent-movie vamp (crossed with Cloris Leachman’s Frau Blücher in “Young Frankenstein”), while the perky, blond Arden could pass as Beaver Cleaver’s mother." } ]

As adjectives, they pertain to the certain characteristics or affiliations of that particular ethnic group. A person can be said to be an Arab or a Kurd by looking at the genealogy, linguistic or cultural affinity of the person. Taken literally, an Arab means “a native, inhabitant, or descendant from Arabia.” The same is used for a Kurd – someone that lives or hails from Kurdistan.

Historic Ethnicities of Kurdistan The contiguous Kurdish regions of Iran, Iraq, Turkey , and Syria sit in the north central area of the Middle East. Over the millennia, numerous ethnicities have migrated, settled or natively inhabited the area including Turks, Persians, Arabs, Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians, Chechens, Azeris and others. From the beginning of recorded history until the present day, all of these ethnic groups have strived politically and violently both offensively and defensively for a secure homeland. As one of the crossroads of the Middle East, Kurdistan has been home to both ethnic battlegrounds, as well as peaceful ethnic coexistence. Conquerors in the Kurdish Region The Kurdish region has seen a long list of invaders and conquerors: Ancient Persians from the east, Alexander the Great from the west, Muslim Arabs in the 7th Century from the south, Seljuk Turks in the 11th Century from the east, the Mongols in the 13th Century from the east, medieval Persians from the east and the Ottoman Turks from the north in the 16th Century and most recently, the United States in its 2003 invasion of Iraq. “No Friends But The Mountains”Fortunately for the Kurds, they have been able to retreat into the mountains for sanctuary. This protection is what saved the Kurds from destruction and allowed them to survive as a distinct ethnic group. Their traditional nomadic lifestyle and the inhospitable mountain homeland provide a natural means to evade marauding armies that would subject indigenous people to rape, murder and genocide.

However, when it comes to religion, Kurds share a good deal in common with the Arab majority, especially Sunni Muslims. Overall, Arabs represent 78% of Iraq’s population, while Kurds are 16% and other, smaller ethnic groups constitute the remainder, according to a 2011 Pew Research survey.

[ 26] [27] [28]Globally, the Kurds are estimated to number anywhere from a low of 30 million, to possibly as high as 45 million, [29] [2] with the majority living in the region they regard as Greater Kurdistan. However, there are significant Kurdish diaspora communities in the cities of western Turkey, in particular Istanbul. A recent Kurdish diaspora has also developed in Western countries, primarily in Germany. The Kurds are the majority population in the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan, and are a significant minority group in the neighboring countries of Turkey, Iran, and Syria, where Kurdish nationalist movements continue to pursue greater autonomy and cultural rights.

A Sunni Muslim of Kurdish ethnicity, [5] [6] [7] Saladin led the Muslim military campaign against the Crusader states in the Levant. At the height of his power, his sultanate included Egypt, Syria, Upper Mesopotamia, the Hejaz, Yemen and other parts of North Africa. Originally sent to Fatimid Egypt in 1164 accompanying his uncle Shirkuh, a general of the Zengid army, on orders of their lord Nur ad-Din, an atabeg of the Seljuks, to consolidate Shawar amid his ongoing power struggle for vizier to the teenage Fatimid caliph al-Adid. With Shawar reinstated as vizier, he engaged in a power struggle with Shirkuh, which saw the former realigning himself with Crusader king Amalric. Saladin climbed the ranks of the Fatimid government by virtue of his military successes against Crusader assaults against its territory and his personal closeness to al-Adid. With Shawar assassinated in 1169 and Shirkuh's natural death later that year, al-Adid appointed Saladin vizier, a rare nomination of a Sunni Muslim to such an important position in the Isma'ili Shia caliphate. During his tenure as vizier, Saladin began to undermine the Fatimid establishment and, following al-Adid's death in 1171, he abolished the Fatimid Caliphate and realigned the country's allegiance with the Sunni, Baghdad -based Abbasid Caliphate. In the following years, he led forays against the Crusaders in Palestine, commissioned the successful conquest of Yemen, and staved off pro-Fatimid rebellions in Upper Egypt." }, { "docid": "D2022177#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070512175514AAsUM3W\nDifference (s) Between Iran and Iraq?", "text": "Society & Culture Cultures & Groups Other - Cultures & Groups Difference (s) Between Iran and Iraq?

Most Kurds speak Northern Kurdish ( Kurmanji) or Sorani, which both belong to the Kurdish languages.

Kurdish history in the 20th century is marked by a rising sense of Kurdish nationhood focused on the goal of an independent Kurdistan as scheduled by the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920. Partial autonomy was reached by Kurdistan Uyezd (1923–1926) and by Iraqi Kurdistan (since 1991), while notably in Turkish Kurdistan, an armed conflict between the Kurdish insurgent groups and Turkish Armed Forces was ongoing from 1984 to 1999, and the region continues to be unstable with renewed violence flaring up in the 2000s.

So we turned to our resident smile expert, dentist Jospeh Banker to get a mouthful on the best way to choose your own and get the grin you crave: Dr. Banker, what has triggered the new LED light teeth whitening craze? The in-office whitening lights were previously halogen, which caused significant sensitivity as a result of tooth dehydration. Teeth did appear whiter, but patients were often extremely uncomfortable. The heat from the halogen lights caused significant sensitivity. ( Photo : Instagram)New technology incorporates high powered LED lights which have a higher light output with significantly less heat. These LED lights have been shown to accelerate the whitening process. The battery operated \"\"at-home\"\" kits cannot duplicate the strength of the \"\"in-office\"\" LED lights, so therefore are simply not as effective. Is LED at-home teeth whitening safe?

A. Dorsey Ed. Center, Miami, FLA: Just connect the positive terminal of the battery with one electrical contact of your light bulb and the negative terminal with the other electrical contact of the bulb. Many bulbs have one electrical contact with screw threads on it, with the other contact as a round dot on the end of the base. Other bulbs will have metal prongs sticking out. It's notoriously hard to get good electrical contact on batteries and bulbs by soldering wires on. The spring contacts in flashlights work much better (but even they are troublesome from time to time). It's important to select a bulb which matches what your battery can put out. If the battery has too low a voltage, the current flowing through the bulb will be small and the bulb's filament won't get hot enough to visibly glow. If the battery has too high a voltage, so much current will flow that the filament will get too hot and vaporize." }, { "docid": "D2454413#0", "title": "https://www.landscapelightingworld.com/LED-Lighting-Color-Temperature-a/323.htm\nNeed Help? 813-978-3700", "text": "Need Help? 813-978-3700NEED HELP? 813-978-3700 M-F 8am-8pm ET | Sat-Sun 10am-6pm ETVOLT PRO PORTAL FOR CONTRACTORSLogin or Sign Up Quick Order My Cart Item (s) in your cart Checkout You have no items in your cart.

High color temperatures are bluish while low color temperatures are yellowish. Of interest is that human vision compensates for these tints, and perceives both high and low color temperature lights as being white. It is only when two sources of different color temperatures are side-by-side that they appear different. There are, however, other subtle effects of these differences discussed in this article. This measurement began in the late 1800s, when William Kelvin experimented with heat and a block of carbon.

On the morning of April 16, Gage ordered a mounted patrol of about 50 men under the command of Major Mitchell of the 5th Regiment into the surrounding country to intercept messengers who might be out on horseback. This patrol behaved differently from patrols sent out from Boston in the past, staying out after dark and asking travelers about the location of Samuel Adams and John Hancock. This had the unintended effect of alarming many residents and increasing their preparedness. The Lexington Militia in particular began to muster early that evening, hours before receiving any word from Boston. Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith received orders from Gage on the afternoon of April 18 with instructions that he was not to read them until his troops were underway. They were to proceed from Boston \"\"with utmost expedition and secrecy to Concord, where you will seize and destroy… all Military stores… But you will take care that the soldiers do not plunder the inhabitants or hurt private property. \"\" The rebellion's ringleaders – with the exception of Paul Revere and Joseph Warren – had all left Boston by April 8.

No matter your budget, you really had only one choice when it came to interior lighting options for your home: Head to the hardware store and pick up some incandescent bulbs, choosing a wattage based on how bright you needed the light to be. But in recent years, technology has brought us bulbs — namely, CFLs and LEDs — that put incandescent lighting to shame. Not only are these new options more energy efficient, they can also last years, or even decades, longer than the standard light bulb we all remember from our childhoods. And while prices for LED light bulbs were astronomical when we first covered this topic just a few years ago — upwards of $100 for one bulb — you can now pick up a cheap, 60-watt-equivalent LED light bulb for less than $5. That’s probably why incandescent light bulbs are being phased out: An almost complete ban on their sale started in 2014 and will take full effect in 2020. Simply put, they waste a lot of energy and don’t last very long. As incandescent light bulbs around the country burn out for the last time, let’s look at the other options available.

Not only is it easier and more comfortable to work outdoors in mild weather, but it is also safer. Safely climbing ladders and working along the eaves of a roof can be a dangerous challenge in bad weather. Even if you don’t actually hang your light strings well ahead of the season, you can get much of the preparation done, such as running outdoor extension cords, installing hooks and hangers, and so forth. It’s also smart to test your Christmas lights before it’s time to hang them. ( You can buy an inexpensive Christmas light tester on Amazon.)

The higher the rating, the more protected lighting is. You need a minimum IP44 rating. The first digit refers to the degree you’re protected from any contact with moving parts, and the degree the light is protected from anything getting inside. This ranges from ‘0’ (no special protection) to ‘6’ (dust tight). The second digit indicates how much moisture (drips, spray or jets) the light can withstand. This ranges from ‘0’ (no special protection) to ‘8’ (protection from complete, continuous submersion in water). For example, an IP44 rating means nothing bigger than 1mm can get in, and it’s safe from splashing water." }, { "docid": "D2235232#0", "title": "http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/Hid/conversions/conversions.html\n.", "text": "\"Thinking of converting your halogen headlamps to HID or LED?

One of the many advantages of this type of lighting is that it can be purchased in wired or wireless forms. Because LED bulbs use so little power, a single wireless puck light can be run for months on just three AAA batteries. Most models of puck light are able to swivel and pivot in their base, this makes them very adjustable, allowing you to tune the direction of the lighting until you have it just right. Some models even feature dimmer switches to add control over the brightness and ambiance of your lighting setup. Some of the many common uses for LED puck lights are under cabinet lighting, accent lighting (such as architectural features of a property), convince lighting where there is no power supply and safety/backup lighting to be used in the event of a power outage. Using LED Puck Lights as Under Cabinet Lighting LED puck lights are great to use as under cabinet lighting. These lights are ideal for use as under cabinet lighting, they are extremely easy to install compared to traditional strip under cabinet lights, they will also fit under virtually any cabinet. Old, custom made and foreign designed cabinets sometimes do not have sufficient depth, straight lines and length to accommodate traditional strip under cabinet lighting, LED puck lights are quite compact and can be easily fitted independently of each other. Installing individual puck lights underneath a cabinet instead of a continuos strip light also gives the added advantage to the user of not having to have the whole counter illuminated." }, { "docid": "D1890362#0", "title": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOCO-Genius-GB70-Boost-HD-Jump-Starter-2000A-/401036498063\nNOCO Genius GB70 Boost HD Jump Starter - 2000A", "text": "\"Skip to main contente Bay Shop by category Advanced Hi!

Operating the dimmer will likely cause flickering, it may glow even when the circuit is switched off, possible noise from either the fixture if Fully-integrated or from the LED Driver if it is a Semi-integrated Fixture. It is also likely that the lifetime of the LED may be compromised. Without knowing what the LED fixture is and the details of the lighting circuit and dimmer it's difficult to provide you with a definitive answer, it is always worthwhile ensuring that the LED fixture is actually approved for use in your country by assessing the certification details which have to be provided. Most reputable manufacturers will ensure their LED fixtures are approved and provide the relevant details, however there are some untested products which still slip past without being certified which may in fact become a safety hazard. Dimmer or not, it's not worth risking your home and family with a non-certified LED fixture. I would personally recommend having the dimmer removed from the circuit if possible, however if you don't want to spend the money calling in an electrician it may be worthwhile simply buying a dimmable LED which may cost slightly more but at least you know that it has been designed to comply and last with a dimmable supply36.3k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

The red, orange or green flowers grow on stalks and are both male and female. The female flowers produce red or deep purple fruits less than 1 inch in diameter." } ]

Importance The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) fruit’s husk provides coir, a stringy substance used in horticulture; oil from the seeds of the cohune palm (Attalea cohune) is used in soap. Palm trees are not harvested for their fruits alone, though -- dozens of varieties are important to local economies in tropical countries and have provided food, medicines and building products for centuries.

However, some worms can be parasitic in nature. Some feed on the intestines of animals, including humans, while others destroy plants and crops. Overall, most worms, specifically earthworms, are crucial to the survival of plants, flowers, trees, and crops. Without them, the earth’s landscape and vital crops would suffer. Earthworms help trees, plants, vegetables and fruits thrive by aerating the soil. When earthworms burrow through the soil, the tunnels allow air in to help plant roots breathe. Additionally, as earthworms digest organic matter, their bodies expel it and produce excrement that is rich in calcium, potassium, and phosphorus. Called castings, the nutrients enrich the soil to make plants happy. The earthworm castings also help the soil retain water." }, { "docid": "D2247708#0", "title": "http://ucanr.edu/sites/poisonous_safe_plants/Safe_Plants_by_Scientific_Name/\nSafe Plants (by scientific name)", "text": "\"Print Safe Plants (by scientific name)A note on \"\"safe\"\" plants: The plants on this list are generally believed to be safe.

All of us are familiar with the typical “Robinson Crusoe-style” desert island – a mound of golden sand with a solitary palm tree growing on it, and in fact, this is not just a picture book scenario, coconut palms really do grow on islands like that -the coconuts tolerance to the salt environment and poor sandy soil is incredible. Coconuts can float for thousands of miles until they are cast up onto a sandy shore. After lying quiescent for a while, in the heat of the tropical sunshine, the coconut eventually sprouts into life. Roots sprout out of two of the eyes in the nut, plunging down into the sand, seeking water and nutrients. Through the third eye, a green shoot grows upwards towards the sunlight. Once established, the embryo palm grows rapidly, and within five to six years the coconut will have matured into a graceful palm tree. Sprouting coconut Palmae , the palm family, to which the coconut belongs, is one of the oldest and most diverse of the plant families. Palms have many botanical characteristics such as a woody trunk, perennial growth, leaves which are folded like a fan and the production of a single ‘seed leaf’ which, along with grasses, lilies and other families classifies them as monocotyledons. There have been sixty other species under the genus Cocos, but the coconut palm stands by itself and is monotypic - meaning that within the genus Cocos only one species, nucifera , is recognized." }, { "docid": "D3248215#0", "title": "https://www.bhg.com/gardening/houseplants/projects/easiest-houseplants-you-can-grow/\nThe Easiest Houseplants You Can Grow", "text": "BHG.com Gardening Houseplants Choosing Houseplants Series: The Indoor Gardener The Easiest Houseplants You Can Grow Grow these no-fuss houseplants to bring life and color to your home.

The problem is that there are many toxic plants to dogs; therefore, knowing what plants are poisonous to dogs can go a long way in preventing something tragic from happening and keeping your pet safe around the house. What Plants are Poisonous to Dogs? There are numerous plants that are poisonous to dogs. Because of this, it would be nearly impossible to go through and name each one (along with symptoms) in one brief article. Therefore, I’ve decided to split some of the mast common toxic plants to dogs into three categories: those that are mildly poisonous, moderately poisonous, and severely toxic. Plants Poisonous to Dogs with Mild Effects While many plants can result in mild toxicity, these are some of the most common: Ivy, poinsettia, tansy, nettle, wisteria (seeds/pods), and iris can all result in mild to severe digestive upset. Buttercups ( Ranunculus) contain juices that can severely irritate, or even damage, a dog’s digestive system.

Millions of acres of forest have been cleared to create palm oil farms. What's so wrong with palm oil, from the palm trees that bear fruit, not coconuts? Well, if you listen to environmentalists and animal-rights advocates along with nutrition and health experts, they'll tell you it's something close to poison. Once the United States and other Western countries began condemning and banning trans-fat oils a few years ago, palm oil became a popular substitute. You can find it in shampoo, lipstick, soap and a host of snack and other foods, including some ketchups, margarine, chewing gum, candy bars and cooking oil. Oil-palm trees, as they're called, are grown primarily in Indonesia and Malaysia, and that's where the problems begin. To create oil-palm farms, the two states have cleared millions of acres of tropical forest. In all of the 1980s, Indonesia cleared 674,000 acres, but by 2009 the total had reached 18 million. The two states, together, have clear-cut an area roughly the size of Denmark, an environmental journal reported - all to plant oil-palm plantations." }, { "docid": "D2226662#0", "title": "http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150817-earths-most-poisonous-plants\nFollow BBC Earth", "text": "Some common species rank as the deadliest plants in the world By Ella Davies14 August 2015In 2014, a gardener on a country estate in the UK mysteriously died of multiple organ failure.

The strange thing is, no one seems to agree on exactly how much baking powder should go into self-rising flour. Casual googling turned up recommendations for 0.5 tsp, 1 tsp, 1.25 tsp, and 1.5 tsp (same as 0.5 Tbsp) as the amount of baking powder to add for each 1 cup of flour. Now the difference between 0.5 and 1.5 tsp may not sound like a lot, but consider that it represents a 50% increase or decrease from a middle value of 1.0 tsp. For something as sensitive to stoichiometry as baking is, I’d expect that to make a difference. Then again, it seems reasonable that the desired amount would vary depending on the item being baked and how much loft you hope to get — which sort of defeats the purpose of a pre-mixed flour-baking powder product. But even specialized biscuit recipes disagree on this, but seem to choose either 1 tsp or 0.5 Tbsp (1.5 tsp, in agreement with my mom’s recipe). ( As a side note, they also vary widely on how much shortening or butter to use, as well as how much milk or buttermilk to use and whether or not to chill the dry ingredients + butter. The number of permutations sent me into a brief paralysis (gosh darn it, shouldn’t we have converged on a solution by now?!)" }, { "docid": "D1571436#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/Is_corn_flour_and_self_raising_flour_the_same_thing\nIs corn flour and self raising flour the same thing?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Food & Cooking Grains Corn Cornflour and Cornstarch Is corn flour and self raising flour the same thing?

No, baking soda and baking powder are not the same thing. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate Na2 (CO2). Baking powder is mixture of several ingredients including sodium bicarbonate, sodium acid pyrophosphate, monocalcium phosphate and corn starch, but the ingredients in baking powder can vary according to the manufacturer. When sodium bicarbonate is combined with an acid or acid salt, it produces carbon dioxide bubbles such as those in a soda and some other stuff based on the acid used. When baking powder is mixed with water it makes carbon dioxide bubbles, which in turn with flour and a bit of oil and some heat makes an nice fluffy cake. Both baking soda and baking powder are leavening agents, which means they are added to baked goods before cooking to produce carbon dioxide and cause them to 'rise'.

This means that when these two substances are mixed into a dough or batter and baked, a chemical reaction occurs causing the baked goods to rise. The leavening process not only raises the baked good, but also makes it more tender and supports browning. While baking soda and baking powder serve the same main function, the way in which they work to make a baked good rise is different. What Is Baking Soda? Baking soda, also sometimes referred to as “sodium bicarb,” is just plain sodium bicarbonate. On the ph scale, it is considered a basic. In order for it to do it’s job of leavening your baked good, it needs an acidic component to react with. When the basic properties of baking soda mix with the acidic properties of another ingredient the baking soda works to neutralize the acid and this is what causes the air bubbles (carbon dioxide) that leaven the baked good. In baking, the usual acidic components include: buttermilk, brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, yogurt, lemon juice (or other citrus juice), natural cocoa powder (dutch processed cocoa powder is not acidic), and chocolate." }, { "docid": "D1181847#0", "title": "http://www.cakecentral.com/forum/t/667455/can-cake-batter-be-refrigerated-and-used-later\nCan Cake Batter Be Refrigerated And Used Later?", "text": "Can Cake Batter Be Refrigerated And Used Later?

If your recipe uses baking soda, it should be fine, as baking soda's reaction that causes rising does not begin until heated. If your cake uses baking powder,however, the reaction is activated by contact with liquid. So it begins as soon as you mix the batter. Once you go to bake it, the reaction will have completed, and a good deal of the gases created will have risen through the batter and escaped. Even double acting baking powder which is designed to react partially with liquid and partially with heat will only give you half the needed rise if you don't bake it immediately.mamawrobin Posted 2 Feb 2010 , 3:17ampost #5 of 13Do it all the time and it works fine for me.

Yahoo Food • March 7, 2014Lauren Salkeld Anyone who’s done any from scratch baking is familiar with baking soda and baking powder. But what’s the difference and are they interchangeable? As odorless white powders they certainly seem similar, but baking soda and baking powder are indeed two distinct leavening agents. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and when combined with an acidic ingredient (buttermilk, lemon juice, etc. ), it creates carbon dioxide gas, which expands in the heat of the oven and helps cookies, cakes, and other baked goods rise. The acid also neutralizes baking soda’s by-product, sodium carbonate, which happens to have a rather unpleasant metallic flavor. One very important thing to take away from all this is that you need to be careful with substitutions. For instance, in a recipe calling for baking soda and buttermilk, you can’t just use regular milk and get the same results (you’ll need to add an acid like lemon juice or vinegar).

Both baking soda and baking powder are leavening agents, but the two substances are used under different conditions. Baking Soda Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. When baking soda is combined with moisture and an acidic ingredient (e.g., yogurt, chocolate, buttermilk, honey), the resulting chemical reaction produces bubbles of carbon dioxide that expand under oven temperatures, causing baked goods to rise. The reaction begins immediately upon mixing the ingredients, so you need to bake recipes which call for baking soda immediately, or else they will fall flat! Baking Powder Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate, but it includes the acidifying agent already (cream of tartar), and also a drying agent (usually starch). Baking powder is available as single-acting baking powder and as double-acting baking powder. Single-acting powders are activated by moisture, so you must bake recipes which include this product immediately after mixing.

However, when your larder does not have it, you need to opt for something else. As the name suggests, baking soda is a leavening agent, which is primarily used for baking purposes. Also called sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda (alkali), it is alkaline in nature and commonly used in recipes containing acidic ingredients, like vinegar, citrus juice, sour cream, yogurt, buttermilk, chocolate, cocoa (not Dutch-processed), honey, molasses (also brown sugar), fruits, and maple syrup. It combines with moisture and an acidic ingredient present in the batter, which results in a chemical reaction that produces bubbles of carbon dioxide that expand under oven temperatures, causing the baked food items to rise. Due its ability to turn cocoa powder reddish-brown when baked, baking soda is commonly used in Devil's food cake and many other cake recipes. However, excess of this added to a recipe can result in a soapy taste with a coarse, open crumb. Since it has a definite shelf life, it works best if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Alternatives for Baking Soda Double-acting Baking Powder Double-acting baking powder (substitute the acidic liquids in the recipe with non-acidic ones.

Seal, Harry Styles, Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are among the stars that vacationed at luxury ski resorts in December of 2013. Aspen, Colorado, the French Alps, and Quebec are frequented by the rich and famous because they boast some of the word’s top ski resorts. The stunning views, charming ski towns, luxury accommodations and one-of-a-kind amenities available at exclusive ski resorts make them an attractive option for celebrities that want to travel. Yet, despite the growing popularity of ski holidays, skiing can be a very dangerous sport. Celebrities have been hurt and some have even died after suffering severe injuries while out on the ski slopes. Safety devices, such as ski helmets, cannot do much to protect those skiing at top speeds. Stars increase their odds of peril by skiing off-piste, The climbing number of star fatalities may be why some now view the sport as a death trap.

Several sources connected to the former couple tell TMZ ... neither Arnold nor Maria feel any urgency to get a judge to make the divorce official, even though all of the money and custody issues have been worked out. The reason, they say, is simple ... They're worth approximately $400 million -- which they agree they'll split down the middle -- so it's not like they need the divorce to buy a house. Short story -- neither one of them is in a hurry to pull the trigger, because it will have NO IMPACT on their day-to-day lives.

Our sources say both Arnold and Maria have sent mixed messages to their friends and family -- at times saying they want the divorce, and other times talking about how they still feel love for their longtime partner.

Here, we unravel the (highly confusing, often contradictory) events of Terminators one to five – and explore how the next film, which will see the welcome return of Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, will fit into one of sci-fi’s most complex timelines. Terminator (James Cameron, 1984)In the first Terminator movie, things are simple enough. By “simple”, we mean mildly confusing and paradoxical, because that’s always the way with time travel – but there’s still a satisfying sort of logic to the way in which events play out. Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator T o recap: in 2029, the Future War, between the human race and machines (led by an AI system called Skynet) is ongoing. The machines aren’t too happy about the threat posed by the resistance’s leader, John Connor, and decide to go back in time to make sure that John is never born. A Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is consequently sent back to 1984 to kill John's mother, a young waitress named Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). Understandably, John isn’t thrilled by the idea of having his entire existence wiped out, and sends back a human resistance fighter named Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) to protect Sarah. Why it's a little confusing The big, mind-boggling twist? Reese, who sleeps with Sarah and causes her to become pregnant during the course of the film, is actually John’s father." }, { "docid": "D2591457#0", "title": "http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18702719\nWhat It Means to Be a California Republican", "text": "\"What It Means to Be a California Republican Listen Queue Download Embed Embed< iframe src=\"\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/18702719/18698174\"\" width=\"\"100%\"\" height=\"\"290\"\" frameborder=\"\"0\"\" scrolling=\"\"no\"\" title=\"\"NPR embedded audio player\"\">Transcript February 5, 2008 1:04 PM ETHeard on Day to Day Rob Longistockphoto.com About the best thing you can say about the California Republican party is that it is not dead.

It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, who reprises his role as the eponymous character, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney and J. K. Simmons.

In the weak sense, scientism is the view that the methods of the natural sciences should be applied to any subject matter.

Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"Why are so many young people falling away from the faith?\"\" Answer: Not every child who starts out in church stays in church; in fact, many young people are falling away from the faith and walking away from the church as they grow older. A recent survey conducted by the Barna Group, a leading research organization whose focus is on the relationship of faith and culture, found that less than 1 percent of the young adult population in the United States has a biblical worldview. Even more startling, the data shows that less than one half of one percent of Christians between the ages of 18 and 23 has a biblical worldview. The Barna Group defined a biblical worldview as belief in the following: • absolute moral truth exists • the Bible is completely inerrant • Satan is a real being, not symbolic • a person cannot earn his way into the kingdom of God though good works • Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth • God is the supreme Creator of the heavens and the earth and reigns over the whole universe today Another study by Fuller Seminary also looked at why young people are falling away from the faith. The Fuller study determined that the most important factor in whether young people leave the church or remain steadfast in their faith is whether they have a safe haven to express their doubts and concerns regarding their faith before leaving home. Such a refuge is found in two places: their home and their church youth ministry. The Fuller study also found that most church youth programs tend to focus on providing entertainment and pizza rather than building up young people in their faith. As a result, teens are ill-equipped to face the challenges they will encounter upon leaving home." }, { "docid": "D918789#0", "title": "http://www.inplainsite.org/html/postmodernism.html\n.", "text": "\"Surveys confirm that while the majority of people may be unable to define postmodernity, they are increasingly becoming products of it.

[ 7]More generally, scientism is often interpreted as science applied \"\"in excess\"\". The term scientism has two senses: The improper usage of science or scientific claims. [ 8] This usage applies equally in contexts where science might not apply, [9] such as when the topic is perceived as beyond the scope of scientific inquiry, and in contexts where there is insufficient empirical evidence to justify a scientific conclusion. It includes an excessive deference to the claims of scientists or an uncritical eagerness to accept any result described as scientific. This can be a counterargument to appeals to scientific authority. It can also address the attempt to apply \"\"hard science\"\" methodology and claims of certainty to the social sciences, which Friedrich Hayek described in The Counter-Revolution of Science (1952) as being impossible, because that methodology involves attempting to eliminate the \"\"human factor\"\", while social sciences (including his own field of economics) center almost purely on human action. \"\" The belief that the methods of natural science, or the categories and things recognized in natural science, form the only proper elements in any philosophical or other inquiry\"\", [10] or that \"\"science, and only science, describes the world as it is in itself, independent of perspective\"\" [5] with a concomitant \"\"elimination of the psychological [and spiritual] dimensions of experience\"\".

Tweet Please give me feedback and suggestions about the content you find on this site. Magical Realism happens when a highly realistic setting is invaded by the supernatural as a matter-of-fact. The reader accepts ‘the reality’ of ‘the magical’. Despite its widespread use, the term 'magical realism' has proven notoriously difficult to define amongst literary critics. This is largely due to a variety of applications of the term and its changing meaning over time. In literary circles there’s a vigorous debate with strong reactions both for and against the use of ‘magical realism’ to describe various works of fiction. For example,Is magical realism restricted to the geographic location of Latin America, where it had the largest initial popular impact? Does magical realism have room for a diverse variety of subject matters, or is it restricted to themes of political or cultural discourse? Can magical realism be a narrative mode chosen solely for the purposes of literary exploration, without having its source in the writer’s mythological or cultural background?" }, { "docid": "D2441192#0", "title": "http://barthimeous.blogspot.com/2011/03/relationship-between-culture-and.html\nIntroduction", "text": "\"The relationship between culture and language Diposting oleh Kelompok 18 di 18.20 Jumat, 25 Maret 2011POINT IIntroduction A.

This knowledge provides culturally specific meanings and expressions in relation to care and health. The next focus is on the generic or folk system, professional care system (s), and nursing care. Information about these systems includes the characteristics and the specific care features of each. This information allows for the identification of similarities and differences or cultural care universality and cultural care diversity. Next are nursing care decisions and actions which involve cultural care preservation/maintenance, cultural care accommodation/negotiation and cultural care re-patterning or restructuring. It is here that nursing care is delivered. Major Concepts Transcultural nursing is defined as a learned subfield or branch of nursing which focuses upon the comparative study and analysis of cultures with respect to nursing and health-illness caring practices, beliefs, and values with the goal to provide meaningful and efficacious nursing care services to people according to their cultural values and health-illness context. Ethnonursing is the study of nursing care beliefs, values, and practices as cognitively perceived and known by a designated culture through their direct experience, beliefs, and value system (Leininger, 1979). Nursing is defined as a learned humanistic and scientific profession and discipline which is focused on human care phenomena and activities in order to assist, support, facilitate, or enable individuals or groups to maintain or regain their well-being (or health) in culturally meaningful and beneficial ways, or to help people face handicaps or death." }, { "docid": "D3207048#0", "title": "https://prezi.com/xs8gwpehwoor/systemic-oppression-trust-mistrust-credibility-and-world/\nSystemic Oppression: Trust, Mistrust, Credibility, and World", "text": "\"Public & reusable Create your own Make a copy Share Embed Like Systemic Oppression: Trust, Mistrust, Credibility, and World No descriptionby James Nixonon 29 May 2014Tweet Comments ( 0)Please log in to add your comment.

If the universe is a product of random chance or a group of gods that interfere in the universe, there is really no reason to expect order in nature. Many of the founders of the principle scientific fields, such as Bacon, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton, were believers in a recently created earth. The idea that science cannot accept a creationist perspective is a denial of scientific history. To help us understand that science has practical limits, it is useful to divide science into two different areas: operational science and historical (origins) science. Operational science deals with testing and verifying ideas in the present and leads to the production of useful products like computers, cars, and satellites. Historical (origins) science involves interpreting evidence from the past and includes the models of evolution and special creation." }, { "docid": "D2319106#0", "title": "http://www.christiananswers.net/q-sum/sum-r002.html\nWhat is Secular Humanism?", "text": "What is Secular Humanism?

A Sociological Definition Share Flipboard Email Print Word cloud from Republican presidential debate, 2011.by Nicki Lisa Cole, Ph. D. Updated January 16, 2018Discourse refers to how we think and communicate about people, things, the social organization of society, and the relationships among and between all three. Discourse typically emerges out of social institutions like media and politics (among others), and by virtue of giving structure and order to language and thought, it structures and orders our lives, relationships with others, and society. It thus shapes what we are able to think and know any point in time. In this sense, sociologists frame discourse as a productive force because it shapes our thoughts, ideas, beliefs, values, identities, interactions with others, and our behavior. In doing so it produces much of what occurs within us and within society. Sociologists see discourse as embedded in and emerging out of relations of power, because those in control of institutions—like media, politics, law, medicine, and education—control its formation. As such, discourse, power, and knowledge are intimately connected, and work together to create hierarchies. Some discourses come to dominate the mainstream (dominant discourses), and are considered truthful, normal, and right, while others are marginalized and stigmatized, and considered wrong, extreme, and even dangerous." }, { "docid": "D2001387#0", "title": "https://faculty.gcsu.edu/custom-website/mary-magoulick/defmyth.htm\n.", "text": "\"What is Myth?

ANSWER: The Human Genome Project was a 13-year project coordinated by the U. S. Department of Energy and the National Institute of Health. It completed its initial mission in 2003. The initial purpose or goals were to:identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA,determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA,store this information in databases,improve tools for data analysis,transfer related technologies to the private sector, andaddress the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. Identifying the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA was an enormous achievement of the Human Genome Project which some say is akin to developing the periodic table of elements. However, deriving meaningful knowledge from DNA sequence will define biological research through the coming decades and require the expertise and creativity of teams of biologists, chemists, engineers, and computational scientists, among others. Many research challenges remain in genetics even with the full human sequence in hand. Some of the application areas where specific goals (additional purposes) have been defined are as follows: Molecular Medicine Energy and Environmental Applications Risk Assessment Bioarchaeology, Anthropology, Evolution, and Human Migration DNA Forensics (Identification)Agriculture, Livestock, Breeding, and Bioprocessing A short list of the many challenges (the purpose is to overcome these challenges) include the following: Gene number, exact locations, and functions Gene Regulation DNA sequence organization Chromosomal structure and organization Noncoding DNA types, amount, distribution, information content, and functions The purposes of the Human Genome Project and the ongoing effort to understand the relationship between the code and life is more than just a set of objectives, goals and challenges to overcome.

Thinking Christians must surely be aware that a great moral and spiritual conflict is taking shape all around us, with multiple fronts of battle and issues of great importance at stake. The prophet Jeremiah repeatedly warned of those who would falsely declare peace when there is no peace. The Bible defines the Christian life in terms of spiritual battle, and believers in this generation face the fact that the very existence of truth is at stake in our current struggle. The condition of warfare brings a unique set of moral challenges to the table, and the great moral and cultural battles of our times are no different. Even ancient thinkers knew this, and many of their maxims of warfare are still commonly cited. Among the most popular of these is a maxim that was known by many of the ancients: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend. ”That maxim has survived as a modern principle of foreign policy. It explains why states that have been at war against one another can, in a very short period of time, become allies against a common enemy.

We will offer some thinking about practice and evaluation standards that may help different types of peer initiatives sustain real peer support values in action. Introduction Peer support for people with similar life experiences (e.g., people who’ve lost children, people with alcohol and substance abuse problems, etc.) has proven to be tremendously important towards helping many move through difficult situations (Reissman, 1989; Roberts & Rappaport, 1989). In general, peer support has been defined by the fact that people who have like experiences can better relate and can consequently offer more authentic empathy and validation. It is also not uncommon for people with similar lived experiences to offer each other practical advice and suggestions for strategies that professionals may not offer or even know about.

A good leader also should follow Business ethics; that means running a business ethically is good for business as well as for society. In my opinion, associating ethics in business is very important because a business that behaves ethically will be a model for other businesses and their associates to behave ethically as well.

Just because economics isn’t like physics doesn’t mean it’s useless. So I will also try to talk about what it is useful for. Hayek condemned scientism–the use of the tools of science to give a field such as economics the aura of science without it’s predictive or descriptive power. He didn’t just say this was a waste of time, he said it was dangerous because it led to a false sense of precision and understanding. The way I understand this (and I agree with Hayek) is that the tools of physics–advanced dynamic equations that treat the economy as a planetary body or even a group of planets interacting, is not just wrong, but deeply misleading. Was Hayek right about this? I think so, but the defenders of the mathematical approach to either macroeconomics (Bob Lucas, say) or microeconomics (the game theorists, for example, pick your favorites) would argue otherwise, saying either that we haven’t quite mastered the full set of equations but will eventually, or that we are close enough now and sometimes, the unexpected comes along and we have to modify our models." } ]

The ratio measures the ability of an organization to efficiently produce sales, and is typically used by third parties to evaluate the operations of a business. Ideally, a company with a high total asset turnover ratio can operate with fewer assets than a less efficient competitor, and so requires less debt and equity to operate. The result should be a comparatively greater return to its shareholders. The formula for total asset turnover is: Net sales ÷ Total assets = Total asset turnover For example, a business that has net sales of $10,000,000 and total assets of $5,000,000 has a total asset turnover ratio of 2.0. It is best to plot the ratio on a trend line, to spot significant changes over time. Also, compare it to the same ratio for competitors, which can indicate which other companies are being more efficient in wringing more sales from their assets. There are several problems with the ratio, which are: The measure assumes that additional sales are good, when in reality the true measure of performance is the ability to generate a profit from sales. Thus, a high turnover ratio does not necessarily result in more profits.

In short, it reveals how much revenue the company is generating from each dollar's worth of assets -- everything from buildings and equipment to cash in the bank, accounts receivable and inventories. Formula To calculate your company's asset turnover ratio for a given period, such as a year or a quarter, divide your total sales revenue for the period by your average total assets for the period. The most common way to determine average total assets is simply to add the total value of your assets at the beginning of the period to the value at the end of the period and divide by 2. So, if your company began the year with $100,000 in assets and ended it with $110,000, your total average assets would be $105,000. If your sales revenue for the year was $500,000, then your asset turnover ratio is: $500,000 divided by $105,000 which equals 4.76. Interpretation An asset turnover ratio of 4.76 means that every $1 worth of assets generated $4.76 worth of revenue. In general, the higher the ratio -- the more \"\"turns\"\" -- the better. But whether a particular ratio is good or bad depends on the industry in which your company operates. Some industries are simply more asset-intensive than others are, so their overall turnover ratios will be lower." }, { "docid": "D440537#0", "title": "http://www.treasury.nl/blog/the-net-stable-funding-ratio-nsfr/\n.", "text": "The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)28 maart, 2011 in Columns-Artikelen door George Lekatis The net stable funding (NSF) ratio measures the amount of longer-term, stable sources of funding employed by an institution relative to the liquidity profiles of the assets funded and the potential for contingent calls on funding liquidity arising from off-balance sheet commitments and obligations. The standard requires a minimum amount of funding that is expected to be stable over a one year time horizon based on liquidity risk factors assigned to assets and off-balance sheet liquidity exposures. The NSF ratio is intended to promote longer-term structural funding of banks’ balance sheets, off-balance sheet exposures and capital markets activities. To promote more medium and long-term funding of the assets and activities of banking organisations, the Committee has developed the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). This metric establishes a minimum acceptable amount of stable funding based on the liquidity characteristics of an institution’s assets and activities over a one year horizon. This standard is designed to act as a minimum enforcement mechanism to complement the liquidity coverage ratio standard and reinforce other supervisory efforts by incenting structural changes in the liquidity risk profiles of institutions away from short-term funding mismatches and toward more stable, longer-term funding of assets and business activities. In particular, the NSFR standard is structured to ensure that investment banking inventories, off-balance sheet exposures, securitisation pipelines and other assets and activities are funded with at least a minimum amount of stable liabilities in relation to their liquidity risk profiles. The NSFR aims to limit over-reliance on wholesale funding during times of buoyant market liquidity and encourage better assessment of liquidity risk across all onand off-balance sheet items. In addition, the NSF approach would help to counterbalance the cliff-effects of the liquidity coverage ratio and offset incentives for institutions to fund their stock of liquid assets with short-term funds that mature just outside the supervisory defined horizon for that metric. The NSF measure builds on traditional “net liquid asset” and “cash capital” methodologies used widely by internationally active banking organisations, bank analysts and rating agencies." }, { "docid": "D607060#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/128153952/accounting-1-test-3-flash-cards/\naccounting 1 test 3", "text": "119 terms alexadamssaccounting 1 test 3Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sortconsistency principle a business should use the same accounting methods and procedures from period to perioddisclosure principle a business's financial statements must report enough information for outsider to make knowledgeable decisions about the companymateriality concept a company must perform strictly proper accounting only for items that are significant to the business's financial situationconservatism a business should report the least favorable figures in the financial statements when two or more possible options are presentedinventory costing method a method of approximating the flow of inventory costs in a business that is used to determine the amount of cost of goods sold and ending merchandise inventoryspecific identification method an inventory costing method based on the specific cost of particular units of inventoryfirst in, first out (FIFO) method an inventory costing method in which the first costs into inventory are the first costs out to cost of goods sold. ending inventory is based on the costs of the most recent purchases (pg 330)cost of good valuable for sale the total cost spend on inventory that was available to be sold during a periodlast in, first out (LIFO) method an inventory costing method in which the last costs into inventory are the first costs out to cost of goods sold. the method leaves the oldest costs-those of beginning inventory and the earliest purchases of the period-in ending inventoryweighted average method an inventory costing method based on the weighted average cost per unit of inventory that is calculated after each purchase. weighted average cost per unit is determined by dividing the cost of good available for sale by the number of units available. `lower of cost of market (LCM) rule rule that merchandise inventory should be reported in the financial statements at whichever is lower-its historical cost or its market valueinventory turnover measures the number of times a company sells its average level of merchandise inventory during a period.

It is the role of the management to ensure such objectives are attained, and hence must gather sufficient data to inform them how the business is doing. As a manager, you must ask yourself questions such as whether the company’s market share has improved, or whether the assets are generating enough revenue relative to the amount of money invested, the last of which can be calculated using efficiency ratios. To do this, most managers rely on ratio analysis to help them understand trends and financial statements, which provide crucial information about the company’s performance. Ratio analysis helps them detect strengths and weaknesses of various initiatives and strategies. The tools can also be used to analyze the company’s performance against other firms in the industry, as well as pinpoint any actions that require corrective measures before it is too late. For example, a quick acid ratio, which measures whether the company has sufficient liquid assets to meet its immediate liabilities, can provide a warning before its debts spiral out of control. Classification of Financial Ratios Ratios can be grouped into profitability ratios, liquidity ratios, leverage (gearing) ratios and efficiency ratios, with the former being the focus of this article.

By breaking the ROE into distinct parts, investors can examine how effectively a company is using equity, since poorly performing components will drag down the overall figure. To calculate a firm's ROE through Du Pont analysis, multiply the profit margin ( net income divided by sales ), asset turnover (sales divided by assets) and leverage factor ( total assets divided by shareholders' equity) together. The higher the result, the higher the return on equity.

Return on equity measures net income less preferred dividends against total stockholder’s equity. The three primary drivers of ROE are better sales (or turnover), greater margins and higher debt levels, each of which can lead to a higher ROE. Although return on equity is a useful tool, it does not tell you what factors are helping or hurting the company’s performance. The Du Pont formula addresses this concern by breaking down ROE and allowing investors to see which characteristics are driving ROE. Analysis of the Du Pont formula allows you to determine whether management is generating value for shareholders effectively. Return on Equity Return on equity measures the level of income attributed to shareholders against the investment that shareholders put into the firm. In other words, it measures how efficiently a company is able to generate profits using shareholder’s equity, which includes stock offerings and retained earnings.

Chapter Outline Study Objective 1 - Describe how the Cost Principle Applies to Plant Assets¨ Plant assets are resources that have physical substance (a definite size and shape), are used in the operations of a business, and are not intended for sale to customers.¨ It is important for companies to (1) keep assets in good operating condition, (2) replace worn-out or outdated assets, and (3) expand its productive assets as needed.¨ The cost principle requires that plant assets be recorded at cost.¨ Cost consists of all expenditures necessary to acquire an asset and make it ready for its intended use.¨ If a cost is not included in a plant asset account, then it must be expensed immediately. Such costs are referred to as revenue expenditures. Costs that are not expensed immediately, but are instead included in a plant asset account are referred to as capital expenditures.¨ Cost is measured by the cash paid in a cash transaction or by the cash equivalent price paid when noncash assets are used in payment. The cash equivalent price is equal to the fair market value of the asset given up or the fair market value of the asset received, whichever is more clearly determinable.¨ Once cost is established, it becomes the basis of accounting for the plant asset over its useful life.§ Land – Land is often used as a building site for a manufacturing plant or office. The cost of land includes: (1) The cash purchase price (2) Closing costs such as title and attorney's fees (3) Real estate brokers’ commissions (4) Accrued property taxes and other liens on the land assumed by the purchaser§ All necessary costs incurred in making land ready for its intended use increase (debit) the Land account.§ Land improvements – Land improvements are structural additions made to land such as driveways, parking lots, fences, and underground sprinklers.· The cost of land improvements includes all expenditures necessary to make the improvements ready for their intended use.· The cost of a new company parking lot includes the amount paid for paving, fencing, and lighting.· The total of all these costs would be debited to Land Improvements.· Because land improvements have limited useful lives, their costs are expensed (depreciated) over their useful lives.§ Buildings – Buildings are facilities used in operations, such as stores, offices, factories, warehouses, and airplane hangers.·" }, { "docid": "D1919176#0", "title": "http://www.accountingtools.com/fixed-asset-turnover-ratio\nFixed asset turnover ratio", "text": "\"Fixed asset turnover ratio September 11, 2017The fixed asset turnover ratio compares net sales to net fixed assets. It is used to evaluate the operating performance of a business. A high ratio indicates that a business is: Doing an effective job of generating sales with a relatively small amount of fixed assets Outsourcing work to avoid investing in fixed assets Selling off excess fixed asset capacity A low ratio indicates that a business: Is overinvested in fixed assets Needs to issue new products to revive its sales Has made a large investment in fixed assets, with a time delay before the new assets start generating revenues Has invested in areas that do not increase the capacity of the bottleneck operation, resulting in no additional throughput The concept of the fixed asset turnover ratio is most useful to an outside observer, who wants to know how well a business is employing its assets to generate sales. A corporate insider has access to more detailed information about the usage of specific fixed assets, and so would be less inclined to employ this ratio. The formula for the ratio is to subtract accumulated depreciation from gross fixed assets, and divide into net annual sales. It may be necessary to obtain an average fixed asset figure, if the amount varies significantly over time. Do not include intangible assets in the denominator, since it can skew the results. The formula is: Net annual sales ÷ (Gross fixed assets - Accumulated depreciation)For example, ABC Company has gross fixed assets of $5,000,000 and accumulated depreciation of $2,000,000. Sales over the last 12 months totaled $9,000,000. The calculation of ABC's fixed asset turnover ratio is:$9,000,000 Net sales ÷ ($5,000,000 Gross fixed assets - $2,000,000 Accumulated depreciation)= 3.0 Turnover per year Here are several cautions regarding the use of this measurement: Industry specific." }, { "docid": "D2068283#0", "title": "http://www.tdbank.com/small_business/workshops/Ratios/textratio_analysis.htm\n.", "text": "\"Print this page | Close this window Analyzing Your Financial Ratios Overview Any successful business owner is constantly evaluating the performance of his or her company, comparing it with the company's historical figures, with its industry competitors, and even with successful businesses from other industries.

In this lesson, you'll learn the purpose of calculating the average collection period and the two-step process. We'll also discuss which financial statements are needed to find the data and the importance of comparing the average collection period to the credit policy. Average Collection Period The average collection period is a measurement of the average number of days that it takes a business to collect payments from sales that were made on credit. Businesses of many kinds allow customers to take possession of merchandise right away and then pay later, typically within 30 days. These types of payments are considered accounts receivable because a business is waiting to receive these payments on an account. Accounts receivable are an asset, or something a business owns or is owed. As you might expect, businesses keep a close eye on these types of accounts, because if they don't receive the money that they're owed when it is due, they won't be able to pay their own bills. In this lesson, we're going to explore how a company tracks its accounts receivable and what equations it uses to find an average collection period by looking at a real-world example.

The fixed asset turnover ratio varies throughout every sector and should only be compared to other companies within the same sector. If a company has a higher fixed asset turnover ratio than its competitors, it shows the company is effectively using its fixed assets to generate sales better than its competitors. The fixed asset turnover ratio is calculated by dividing a company's net sales by its net property, plant and equipment.

Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones become weak and are thus more likely to break. Your bones lose calcium and the insides become porous, like a honeycomb. Technically speaking, this is called losing “bone mass”. People with low bone mass are more susceptible to breaking bones. Bone mass generally peaks around the age of 30-35, and then starts to slowly decline at around age 50 in women (60 in men) when you start to lose bone mass faster than your body can grow it back. This happens to all adults, however critical loss of bone mass (osteoporosis) is much more common in women. This is because women tend to have lower bone mass to begin with, live longer on average (more time to lose to bone mass), and generally take in less calcium. Women also need estrogen (a female hormone) to keep their bones strong, and estrogen production falls for all women once menopause hits. Broken bones are a serious impediment to the quality of your life, particularly when you are at an advanced age." } ]

The bones most often affected are the hips, spine, and wrists. Who is affected by osteoporosis? Osteoporosis affects over 10 million Americans, with women four times more likely to develop osteoporosis than men.

Without prevention or treatment, osteoporosis can progress without pain or symptoms until a bone breaks (fractures). Fractures commonly occur in the hip, spine, and wrist. Although women are more likely to get osteoporosis, it is not just a disease of elderly women. Osteoporosis is more common in white or Asian women older than 50 years of age, but osteoporosis can occur in almost any person at any age. Many people who have osteoporosis and risk factors for osteoporosis often do not know they have thin or weak bones. This is because most patients with osteoporosis have no symptoms and are not aware of their weak bones until they have an unexpected fracture. For example, a simple everyday movement such as picking up a grocery bag causes a broken bone or a slip and fall in a parking lot causes a broken hip, and that is their first \"\"symptom of osteoporosis. \"\" Osteoporosis is often not recognized in men.

There is no REAL EXACT DEFINITE age that your height growth stops, in Men or women. For some unfortunate people, it never stops. Men start puberty anywhere between 10 and 15 years old (and there are outliers in both directions). Puberty lasts usually 2-5 years (again, with outliers in both directions). So you could be going through a growth spurt potentially between the ages of 9 and 24 [1] [2]There are plenty of factors that go into when your puberty starts and how long it lasts, genetics, nutrition, and other environmental factors that we don't really know about yet. Studies performed on both fraternal twins (to try to control environmental issues), and identical twins (to try to control genetics) are constantly being performed to learn more about this. Here's a standard growth chart based on population averages: This is for boys aged 2 to 20. You can see how most boys grow pretty steadily until they're about 16 or 17 and then it tapers off.

Sermorelin is a synthetic drug which is derived from GH-RH, which is also known as Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone. GH-RH is the hormone responsible for the production of Human Growth Hormone, commonly referred to as HGH. GH-RH is secreted by the hypothalamus and functions as a chemical messenger which sends the signal to the pituitary to secrete more Human Growth Hormone to be delivered throughout the body. Sermorelin is not naturally produced by the human body, but it is functionally identical to Growth-Hormone Releasing Hormone produced by the human body. Sermorelin contains the same initial 44 proteins that are present in GH-RH, and scientists and researchers have discovered that this truncated version of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone is the shortest known derivative that produces an identical effect upon the body as GH-RH, which is to enhance pituitary secretion of HGH. HGH and Human Development In our preteen and early teenage years, Human Growth Hormone is primarily responsible for the increase in growth rate associated with puberty. Children that suffer from a deficiency in Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone do not produce sufficient levels of Human Growth Hormone and therefore do not grow at the same rate as their peers. Human beings complete the process of normal growth and reach their final adult height after the epiphyseal plates of their long bones close at the end of puberty. After this point, the role of Human Growth Hormone changes, yet the role of GH-RH remains the same." }, { "docid": "D3324508#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/79491445/nutrition-exam-3-flash-cards/\nNutrition Exam 3", "text": "143 terms sarah_rafalko Nutrition Exam 3Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort Iron absorption is impaired by ___ phytates Which of these people is least likely to develop an iron deficiency?

From birth through adolescence, more bone is produced than is lost during bone remodeling. In young adults, the rates of bone production and loss are about the same. As the levels of sex steroids diminish during middle age, especially in women after menopause, a decrease in bone mass occurs because bone destruction outpaces bone formation. Because women's bones generally are smaller than men's bones to begin with, loss of bone mass in old age typically causes greater problems in women. These factors contribute to a higher incidence of osteoporosis in women. Aging has two main effects on the skeletal system: Bones become more brittle and lose mass. Bone brittleness results from a decrease in the rate of protein synthesis and in the production of human growth hormone, which diminishes the production of the collagen fibers that give bone its strength and flexibility." }, { "docid": "D2641567#0", "title": "https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/004015.htm\nAging changes in the bones - muscles - joints", "text": "Changes in posture and gait (walking pattern) are common with aging.

Speculation has it that the sharpness had two more specific purposes: starting the weaning process and aiding the pups in learning the basics of bite inhibition. Weaning When the pups are growing, their teeth start irritating the mother dog when she nurses. It's totally normal, therefore, for her to start resenting nursing (and who can blame her!) and start moving away." }, { "docid": "D1374897#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/When_does_a_puppy_lose_their_puppy_teeth\nWhen does a puppy lose their puppy teeth?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Mammals Land Mammals Domestic Dogs Dog Behavior When does a puppy lose their puppy teeth?

Share Tweet +1 Pin it Anyone who has owned a puppy or a juvenile dog will be all too familiar with the ins and outs of teething, when the pup begins to grow in their permanent adult teeth and lose their baby teeth to make room for them. This is the time at which your pup or young dog will be obsessed with their mouths and teeth, exploring everything orally and always remaining on the lookout for potential things that they can chew!A lot of good advice is written on how to get through the teething stage itself without losing your mind (and your cherished possessions!) but information on what actually happens during this stage and what is going on in your dog’s mouth can be somewhat harder to come by. In this article, we will look at the basics of the process that occurs as your pup loses their baby teeth and grows in their adult set, and what you can expect to happen during this time. Read on to learn more. The baby and adult teeth When your pup is little, they possess 28 baby teeth in their mouths. These are referred to as deciduous teeth, and are a temporary set that are only present for a few months, before your pup starts to lose them and grow in their permanent teeth. Pups start to get their baby teeth at around 2-3 weeks of age, starting with the incisors, then the canine teeth, and eventually the premolars. All of the 28 baby teeth should be present and in place by around eight weeks of age." }, { "docid": "D112358#0", "title": "http://care4yourpets.com/how-many-teeth-does-an-adult-dog-have/\nHow Many Teeth Does An Adult Dog Have?", "text": "Misc December 12, 2015 posted by admin How Many Teeth Does An Adult Dog Have?

Figuring out how old a dog is by looking at her teeth is more of an art than a science, but a close look can often give you a pretty good idea. It’s easier if she’s a young puppy, but the teeth on older dogs hold some clues as well. Open the dog’s mouth so that you can see all of the teeth. Dogs that aren’t used to this may resist, so be prepared to stop and have a veterinarian do the checking if necessary. A dog that is uncomfortable might pull back forcefully, try to keep her mouth away from you, lick her lips a lot or tighten her jaw muscles. Dogs that are very upset might growl. Do not ignore these warnings. Any of these indicators mean it’s time to let the vet step in.

It primarily affects the limbs, while the trunk is only slightly shorter than normal. The condition has been known for thousands of years. The term achondroplasia (a = no, chondros = cartilage, plasia = formation) was used for the first time in 1878 by French physician M J Parrot. However, the term is not strictly correct as cartilage formation in achondroplasia is generally normal and impaired growth is caused by abnormalities in the growth zones of the skeleton. Several hundred inherited skeletal dysplasias are currently recognised. Some affect the whole skeleton while others affect specific parts of the body. In the Swedish Board of Health and Welfare’s Database of Rare Diseases there is information on other skeletal dysplasias including chondrodysplasia punctata, diastrophic dysplasia, congenital spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, pseudoachondroplasia and late-onset spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia.

Individuals with pseudoachondroplasia are not unusually short at birth; by the age of two, their growth rate falls below the standard growth curve. Other characteristic features of pseudoachondroplasia include short arms and legs; a waddling walk; joint pain in childhood that progresses to a joint disease known as osteoarthritis; an unusually large range of joint movement ( hyperextensibility) in the hands, knees, and ankles; and a limited range of motion at the elbows and hips.

Most people are familiar with disproportionate dwarfism where some of the parts of the body are small or average or above-average in size. In proportionate dwarfism, all the parts of the body are small to the same degree. ( Mayo Clinic)The most common form of dwarfism is achondroplasia.

The other possible cause is that the condition can be inherited from a parent with achondroplasia.

There are two possible causes of achondroplasia: A mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene Inheriting the gene from a parent with achondroplasia. In the second cause, the inheritance pattern of achondroplasia occurs in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means that one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. Therefore, if one of the parents with achondroplasia passes the FGFR3 gene on to the child, the child will likely develop the condition. If one parent has achondroplasia, a child has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the FGFR3 gene (located on chromosome 4) and subsequently developing achondroplasia. If both parents have the disorder, the child has a three in four (75 percent) chance of developing achondroplasia. Also, in these cases, the child has a one in four chance of inheriting the gene from both parents. Newborns who inherit both genes are considered to have a severe form of achondroplasia, where survival is usually less than 12 months after birth.

Reference from A. D. A. M. Back to Top Causes Achondroplasia is one of a group of disorders called chondrodystrophies or osteochondrodysplasias. Achondroplasia may be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, which means that if a child gets the defective gene from one parent, the child will have the disorder. If one parent has achondroplasia, the infant has a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder. If both parents have the condition, the infant's chances of being affected increase to 75%. However, most cases appear as spontaneous mutations. This means that two parents without achondroplasia may give birth to a baby with the condition. Back to Top Symptoms The typical appearance of achondroplastic dwarfism can be seen at birth. Symptoms may include: Abnormal hand appearance with persistent space between the long and ring fingers Bowed legs Decreased muscle tone Disproportionately large head-to-body size difference Prominent forehead ( frontal bossing)Shortened arms and legs (especially the upper arm and thigh)Short stature (significantly below the average height for a person of the same age and sex)Spinal stenosis Spine curvatures called kyphosis and lordosis Back to Top Exams and Tests During pregnancy, a prenatal ultrasound may show excessive amniotic fluid surrounding the unborn infant.

At present arteriosclerosis or arterial stiffness is classified into three lesions:-Atherosclerosis – Atherosclerosis affects the elastic and large arteries in which there is atheroma formation. Moenckeberg medial calcific sclerosis Arteriolosclerosis Pathology The arteriosclerosis lesions begin as the intima in the arterial wall starts to enlarge with the deposition of variable amounts and types of lipids, inflammatory cells, connective tissues as well as matrix proteins, enzymes and calcium deposits. As these lesions mature, they are called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is atheroma with arteriosclerosis. This is the largest killer in industrialized countries leading to hundreds of thousands of heart attacks and strokes. There are several subclassifications of atherosclerosis including one adopted by the American Heart Association.

This wave is reflected in the lower body as well as down to the finger. It is this combination of the direct wave and reflected wave that is measured and recorded by the finger probe. The pulse wave is a physiological phenomenon, observable and measurable in the arterial system during blood circulation. During one heart systole a certain blood volume is expelled. This propagates through the arteries due to the reciprocal transformation between kinetic energy of a segment of the expelled blood volume and the potential energy of a stretched segment of the resilient vascular wall.

For the purpose of developing consistent reporting of CMV in clinical trials, definitions of CMV infection and disease were developed and published. This study seeks to update the definitions of CMV on the basis of recent developments in diagnostic techniques, as well as to add to these definitions the concept of indirect effects caused by CMV. Topic:diagnostic techniques and procedures infection cytomegalovirus infectionscytomegalovirus transplant recipients Issue Section: Invited Articles During the past decade, major advances have been achieved regarding the management of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease. These advances have been made possible through the development of new diagnostic techniques for the detection of the virus and through the performance of prospective clinical trials of antiviral agents. It was apparent early in the development of these advances that it would be of value if similar definitions of important concepts could be used in these studies to allow for comparison of results from different trials. Therefore, a first set of CMV definitions was developed and published as part of the proceedings of the 4th International CMV Conference in Paris in 1993 [ 1 ]. These definitions were updated at the 5th International CMV Conference in Stockholm in 1995 [ 2] and have since been used in many published studies. However, since 1995, many new developments in diagnostic technologies have occurred, and new concepts, such as the indirect effects of CMV, have been recognized. Therefore, the aim of this report is to update and expand the published definitions of CMV, taking into account current knowledge." }, { "docid": "D73252#0", "title": "http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/116/20/2346\nCardiovascular Manifestations of Rheumatologic Diseases", "text": "Cardiovascular Involvement in General Medical Conditions Cardiovascular Manifestations of Rheumatologic Diseases Mary J.

Phone: 0049-9131-8522291; Fax: 0049-9131-8522601; kerstin.amann@uk-erlangen.de Next Section Abstract Calcification of the vascular tree is common in physiologic and pathologic conditions, i.e., aging, diabetes, dyslipidemia, genetic diseases, and diseases with disturbances of calcium metabolism. In chronic kidney disease, vascular calcification is even more common, develops early, and contributes to the markedly increased cardiovascular risk in this particular population. Pathomorphologically, atherosclerosis ( i.e., plaque-forming degenerative changes of the aorta and of large elastic arteries) and arteriosclerosis ( i.e., concentric media thickening of muscular arteries) can be distinguished. Increasing knowledge about calcification together with improved imaging techniques provided evidence that also vascular calcification has to be divided into two distinct entities according to the specific sites of calcification within the vascular wall: Patchy calcification of the intima in the vicinity of lipid or cholesterol deposits as present in plaque calcification and calcification of the media in the absence of such lipid or cholesterol deposits, known as Mönckeberg-type atherosclerosis. The two types of calcification may vary according to the type of vessel (large elastic versus smaller muscular type artery) and proximal versus distal sites of the arterial tree. Furthermore, clinical studies showed that it is not purely academic to distinguish between intimal and medial calcification but rather relevant for the clinical presentation, treatment, and prognosis because each type leads to different clinical consequences. In vivo studies in animal models provided evidence in favor of common pathomechanisms between vascular calcification and atherosclerosis; however, there is other, strong experimental and clinical evidence that pleads for the continued distinction between intimal and medial calcification. Cardiovascular calcification is frequent in elderly patients or populations with a particularly high atherogenic risk profile ( e.g., diabetes, chronic kidney disease [CKD])." }, { "docid": "D736202#0", "title": "http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/109/21/2605.full\nAtherosclerotic Vascular Disease Conference", "text": "AHA Conference Proceedings Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease Conference Writing Group I: Epidemiology Richard C.

Although CHD mortality peaked in the 1960s and then declined dramatically, 1,2 CHD remains the leading cause of death in both men and women in the United States. The aging of the United States population contributes to the high prevalence of CHD. By the year 2020, it is estimated that ischemic heart disease will be the number one cause of disability and death worldwide. 3 Data on noncoronary atherosclerotic vascular disease (AVD) are far less available than data on CHD. Studies of the atherosclerotic process underlying ischemic stroke are hampered by the differing vascular mechanisms that lead to stroke, including large-artery atherosclerosis with occlusion and distal embolization and small penetrating arterial disease with lacunar infarction. Also, there are a considerable number of ischemic stroke events for which the mechanism is unclear and the infarct is of undetermined cause. What is known about the epidemiology of atherosclerotic disease in different territories tends to come from snapshots based on several prevalence studies, which often reflect a medical milieu very different from the one today in which many preventive interventions, including lipid-lowering therapy, hypertension control, and antiplatelet therapies, are more widely used. Epidemiologic, pathophysiological, and therapeutic studies of noncoronary atherosclerotic disease have tended to focus on individual territories rather than on the vascular tree in its totality." }, { "docid": "D1118490#0", "title": "http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/claudication/basics/definition/con-20033581\nOverview", "text": "Overview Claudication Claudication is pain caused by too little blood flow, usually during exercise. Sometimes called intermittent claudication, this condition generally affects the blood vessels in the legs, but claudication can affect the arms, too. At first, you'll probably notice the pain only when you're exercising, but as claudication worsens, the pain may affect you even when you're at rest. Although it's sometimes considered a disease, claudication is technically a symptom of a disease. Most often, claudication is a symptom of peripheral artery disease, a potentially serious but treatable circulation problem in which the vessels that supply blood flow to your legs or arms are narrowed. Fortunately, with treatment, you may be able to maintain an active lifestyle without pain. Symptoms Claudication symptoms include: Pain when exercising.

EDIT 1A simple google search took me to medicinenet.com -pathology - \"\"that branch of medicine which treats of the essential nature of disease. \"\" etiology - \"\"The study of causes, as in the causes of a disease. \"\" Pathogenesis: \"\"The development of a disease and the chain of events leading to that disease. \"\" So I decided to try wikipedia as, I felt, all definitions will necessarily fail to actually explain the differences between them as the differences are pretty nuanced. But wikipedia articles on these terms were either very detailed or very general, in the sense that although I understood what they were saying in any particular article, I still couldn't figure out how the rest of the terms were referring to something different. All seemed to mean - understanding why and how diseases work/spread and how to control them. The only term I understood distinctly here was epidemiology, which means studying the occurrence of diseases in a given population (thus putting a geographical limitation).

Cholesterol is a fatty substance that occurs naturally in the body. It performs several vital functions. It is needed to make the walls surrounding the body's cells and is the basic material that is converted to certain hormones. Your body makes all the cholesterol you need. You need only a small amount of fat in your diet to make enough cholesterol to stay healthy. The fat and cholesterol you eat are absorbed in the intestine and transported to the liver. The liver converts fat into cholesterol, and releases cholesterol into the bloodstream. There are two main types of cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the \"\"bad\"\" cholesterol) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the \"\"good\"\" cholesterol).

When myocardial cells do not receive adequate blood flow or oxygenation, one of the following conditions may occur: myocardial ischemia, myocardial injury, or myocardial infarct. ACS is classified to ICD-9-CM code 411.1, which is the same code assigned for unstable angina. It is vital to review the entire medical record to make sure the information presented supports the final code assignment. Therefore, if the record contains evidence that the patient may have experienced an AMI but only ACS is documented, then it may be appropriate to query the physician for clarification of the final diagnosis.

Lithium is commonly prescribed to people who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia or eating disorders. The team of Swedish researchers stated that they had previously found that “1.5% of people who took lithium from the 1960s and 1970s developed end-stage renal disease,” but that more modern approaches to administering the drug and monitoring side effects seemed to have reduced the prevalence of the damaging side effect. For this new study, they wanted to assess the prevalence and extent of kidney damage in more recent long-term users. The researchers studied 4,879 patients who took lithium for at least 10 years between 1981 and 2010. They found that about one-third of the patients who had taken lithium for 10–29 years had evidence of “chronic renal failure,” while 5% were in the “severe or very severe category. ”“The results indicate that a substantial proportion of adult patients who are treated with lithium for more than a decade develop signs of renal functional impairment, also when treated according to modern therapeutic principles,” they wrote. “ Our results emphasise that lithium treatment requires continuous monitoring of kidney function. ”Aiff, Harald, Per-Ola Attman, Mattias Aurell, Hans Bendz, Bernd Ramsauer, Staffan Schön, and Jan Svedlund. “ Effects of 10 to 30 Years of Lithium Treatment on Kidney Function.”" }, { "docid": "D2563158#0", "title": "http://www.scandikitchen.co.uk/useful-scandinavian-words-start-using-english/\nUseful Scandinavian words to start using in English", "text": "Useful Scandinavian words to start using in English Posted by Bronte Aurell | Community, Fun stuff, Scandi Life The best untranslatable Scandi words you need to include in your everyday use from now on and forever Image: The utterly brilliant satwcomic.com We have some great words that deserve to be used outside their humble Scandi origins.

At first, Wang's discovery did not attract much attention. Only a few Chinese scholars heard the news and collected some manuscripts and silk paintings from the secret cave. For example, Ye Changzhi, the chief official of Education Department of Gansu Province, collected five volumes of Buddhist sutras and two scroll-paintings. However, this exciting news soon attracted the attention of foreign explorers. The newly discovered old Chinese cultural relics were just the things they were looking for. When Sir Aurel Stein came into the small Dunhuang town and heard the exciting rumor, the discovery of many antiquities in one of the Mogao caves, he decided to visit the secret cave right away.

Abnormal findings are often followed up by more sensitive diagnostic procedures, and, if warranted, interventions that aim to prevent progression to cervical cancer. The test was invented by, and named for, the prominent Greek doctor Georgios Papanikolaou. A Pap smear is performed by opening the vaginal canal with a speculum, then collecting cells at the outer opening of the cervix at the transformation zone (where the outer squamous cervical cells meet the inner glandular endocervical cells). The collected cells are examined under a microscope to look for abnormalities. The test aims to detect potentially pre-cancerous changes (called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or cervical dysplasia; the squamous intraepithelial lesion system (SIL) is also used to describe abnormalities), which are caused by human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted DNA virus. The test remains an effective, widely used method for early detection of pre-cancer and cervical cancer. While the test may also detect infections and abnormalities in the endocervix and endometrium, it is not designed to do so. In the United States, Pap smear screening is recommended starting around 21 years of age until the age of 65. However, other countries do not recommend pap testing in non-sexually active females.

Like other forms of inherited retinal disease, ad RP is exceptionally heterogeneous. Mutations in more than 25 genes are known to cause ad RP, more than 1000 mutations have been reported in these genes, clinical findings are highly variable, and there is considerable overlap with other types of inherited disease. Currently, it is possible to detect disease-causing mutations in 50%–75% of ad RP families in select populations. Genetic diagnosis of ad RP has advantages over other forms of RP because segregation of disease in families is a useful tool for identifying and confirming potentially pathogenic variants, but there are disadvantages too. In addition to identifying the cause of disease in the remaining 25% of ad RP families, a central challenge is reconciling clinical diagnosis, family history, and molecular findings in patients and families. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited dystrophic or degenerative disease of the retina with a prevalence of roughly one in 4000 ( Haim 2002; Daiger et al. 2007 ). Typically, the disease progresses from the midperiphery of the retina into the central retina and, in many cases, into the macula and fovea ( Heckenlively and Daiger 2007; Fahim et al. 2013 )." }, { "docid": "D2006584#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joubert_syndrome\nJoubert syndrome", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Joubert syndrome Joubert syndrome is inherited via an autosomal recessive manner Specialty Medical genetics Joubert syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects the cerebellum, an area of the brain that controls balance and coordination. Joubert syndrome is one of the many genetic syndromes associated with syndromic retinitis pigmentosa. [ 1] The syndrome was first identified in 1969 by pediatric neurologist Marie Joubert in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, while working at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Mc Gill University. [ 2]Contents [ hide ]1 Signs and symptoms2 Genetics3 Diagnosis4 Treatment5 Prognosis6 Research7 References8 External links Signs and symptoms [ edit]Most of the signs and symptoms of the Joubert syndrome appear very early in infancy with most children showing delays in gross motor milestones. [ 3] Although other signs and symptoms vary widely from individual to individual, they generally fall under the hallmark of cerebellum involvement or in this case, lack thereof. Consequently, the most common features include ataxia (lack of muscle control), hyperpnea (abnormal breathing patterns), sleep apnea, abnormal eye and tongue movements, and hypotonia in early childhood. Other malformations such as polydactyly (extra fingers and toes), cleft lip or palate, tongue abnormalities, and seizures may also occur. Developmental delays, including cognitive, are always present to some degree. [ 4]Those suffering from this syndrome often exhibit specific facial features such as a broad forehead, arched eyebrows, ptosis (droopy eyelids), hypertelorism (widely spaced eyes), low-set ears and a triangle shaped mouth. Additionally, this disease can include a broad range of other abnormalities to other organ systems such as retinal dystrophy, kidney diseases, liver diseases, skeletal deformities and endocrine (hormonal) problems.

Chromosomes are long sequences of DNA that contain hundreds or thousands of genes. Every person has 2 copies of each of the 23 chromosomes, called chromosomes 1..22 and the 23rd is the sex chromosome, which is either X and Y. Men are XY and women are XX in the 23rd chromosome pair. Causes of chromosome diseases: Chromosomal diseases arise from huge errors in the DNA that result from having extra chromosomes, large missing sequences, or other major errors. These are usually caused by a random physical error during reproduction and are not inherited diseases (i.e. both parents are usually free of the condition). Spontaneous chromosome errors: Most chromosomal diseases arise spontaneously from parents where neither has the disease.

Both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive are inherited. Acquired cystic kidney disease is not an inherited condition, but is linked to long-term kidney problems, dialysis, and old age. Roughly 90 percent of polycystic kidney disease cases are autosomal dominant.

Muscular dystrophy and many related neuromuscular disorders are genetic diseases caused by errors in genes associated with muscle function. What are genes? Genes are the basic functional units of heredity. Each gene contains the code to make a message to tell the cells how to make a particular product such as a protein. The proteins are responsible for all living cells’ structures and functions – from eye colour to muscle movement. If a gene is mutated, the protein will be damaged, faulty or even non-existent. Where do mutated genes come from? We all have variations in our DNA which is why we are unique. Very rarely, these changes make a gene faulty and can result in a genetic condition." }, { "docid": "D653330#0", "title": "https://www.acog.org/Patients/FAQs/Genetic-Disorders\nGenetic Disorders", "text": "FAQ094, April 2017PDF Format Genetic Disorders What are genes?

Genetic Testing Definition A genetic test examines the genetic information contained inside a person's cells, called DNA, to determine if that person has or will develop a certain disease or could pass a disease to his or her offspring. Genetic tests also determine whether or not couples are at a higher risk than thegeneral population for having a child affected with a genetic disorder. Purpose Some families or ethnic groups have a higher incidence of a certain disease than the population as a whole. For example, individuals from Eastern European, Ashkenazi Jewish descent are at higher risk for carrying genes for rare conditions that occur much less frequently in populationsfrom other parts of the world. Before having a child, a couple from such a family or ethnic groupmay want to know if their child would be at risk of having that disease. Genetic testing for thistype of purpose is called genetic screening. During pregnancy, a baby's cells can be studied for certain genetic disorders or chromosomalproblems such as Down syndrome. Chromosome testing is most commonly offered when themother is 35 years or older at the time of delivery. When there is a family medical history of a genetic disease or there are individuals in a family affected with developmental and physicaldelays, genetic testing also may be offered during pregnancy." }, { "docid": "D1511403#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetics\nHuman genetics", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Human Genetics\"\" redirects here.

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. Current interests in the research field focus on understanding and exploiting signalling mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis as well as the role of the primary cilium in cystogenesis. The primary purpose is to highlight pathogenetic pathways underlying renal cyst formation as well as possible therapeutic targets for the treatment of PKD. (" } ]

But for what it’s worth, the average amount spent to insure a car in the U. S. was $815 a year in 2012, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. However, as anyone who pays much less — or more — than $815 a year can tell you, there are a lot of variables that affect your car insurance rates. Some factors, including where you live and what kind of car you drive, can be tough to change. Others, such as your driving habits and the level of coverage you choose, are a bit easier to tweak.

The regulations provide that an employee’s hours of service include the following: Each hour for which an employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the performance of duties for the employer; and Each hour for which an employee is paid, or entitled to payment, on account of a period of time during which no duties are being performed due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty or leave of absence. Additional things to keep in mind: Hours of service include all paid leave. All hours of service performed for entities treated as a single employer (i.e., controlled group, common control, or affiliated service groups) must be taken into account. Hours of service include all hours of service for which an employee receives U. S. sources of income, but do not include hours of service compensated by a foreign source of income. Therefore, hours of service worked outside the United States, such as employees that work overseas, generally will not count toward hours of service. Hourly Employees For hourly employees, the employer must calculate the actual hours of service from records of hours worked and hours for which payment is made or due for vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty or leave of absence. Non-Hourly Employees For non-hourly employees, the employer may calculate the number of hours of service under any of the following three methods: Use the same calculation method used for hourly employees;Use the days-worked equivalency method where the employee is credited with 8 hours of service for each day the employee would be credited with at least one hour of service; or Use the weeks-worked equivalency method where the employee is credited with 40 hours of service per week for each week the employee would be credited with at least 1 hour of service. It is important to note that the regulations prohibit use of the days-worked or weeks-worked equivalency method if the result would substantially understate an employee’s hours of service in a way that would cause that employee not to be treated as a full-time employee. The number of hours of service calculated using either of the equivalency methods must generally reflect the hours actually worked and the hours for which payment is made or due." }, { "docid": "D1612253#0", "title": "https://wallethub.com/edu/strictest-and-most-lenient-states-on-speeding/14211/\nStrictest And Most Lenient States on Speeding and Reckless Driving", "text": "\"Strictest And Most Lenient States on Speeding and Reckless Driving Jul 21, 2016 | Alina Comoreanu, Senior Researcher Speed kills. We have all been told that since driver’s education class, and yet America drivers routinely exceed the speed limit. Before you underestimate the danger of exceeding the speed limit, consider that in 2014, speeding was a factor in 28 percent of motor vehicle crash deaths. Speeding is costly, too. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that the annual economic cost to society of speeding-related crashes is $40.4 billion. Another important issue is the impact of speeding on fuel consumption. According to the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), as a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph will cost you 7 percent more for gasoline.

One of the most important aspects of a credit card is payment flexibility. Credit cardholders do not have to pay back the entire amount spent on the card each month. Instead, they can elect to pay a minimum amount (decided by the card issuer) or any amount between that and the full balance. If the full balance due is not paid, cardholders must pay additional fees called Annual Percentage Rates (APR) on the remaining balance due.

Consumers who haven’t previously used credit are ciphers to lenders and credit card companies, which are understandably wary about lending to people without a track record of timely repayments." }, { "docid": "D1744324#0", "title": "http://money.stackexchange.com/questions/6341/whats-the-average-credit-limit\nWhat's the average credit limit?", "text": "\"_Personal Finance & Money Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who want to be financially literate.

I was hoping they'd propose a new limit to me, but they instead the reverse happened: they asked how much I wanted. I decided to play it conservative; the new limit puts me at under 50 percent peak utilization, but I suspect I could have asked for more and gotten it. So now I'm looking for data relevant to that problem. I hear stories of people who rack up tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt, way above my current credit limit. But they could just be racking up over the limit fees and interest. What I suppose I really care about is the average credit limit in the US.

You need money to enjoy your retirement years, and that takes careful planning. Maintaining your pre-retirement living standard usually requires an income from various sources. The State of Connecticut understands this and provides you with retirement benefits through the Connecticut State Employees Retirement System. The State also offers you the option of participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan and 403 (b) Program retirement savings plans to supplement your retirement income from the State Employees Retirement System; information on these and other miscellaneous employee benefits can be obtained on the Office of the State Comptroller’s website at www.osc.ct.gov under Employees Resources. The State Employees Retirement System is based on a Connecticut state law enacted in 1939. Since 1939, the law has been changed by legislation and collective bargaining. Current plan provisions are in effect until June 30, 2022 in accordance with the 2011 agreement between the State of Connecticut and the State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition." } ]

The single most important geographic feature of the climate of Oregon is the Pacific Ocean whose coastline makes up the western border. Because of the normal movement of air masses from west to east, most of the systems moving across Oregon have been modified extensively in traveling over the Pacific. As a result, winter minimum and summer maximum temperatures in the west, and to a lesser extent in the eastern portion, are greatly moderated. The occurrence of extreme low or high temperatures is generally associated with the occasional invasion of the continental air masses. The unlimited supply of moisture available to those air masses that move across the Pacific is largely responsible for the abundant rainfall over western Oregon and the higher elevations of the eastern portion. Beginning near and following the coast the full length of the State, the Coast Range is the farthest west of the three mountain ranges that exert an important influence on Oregon’s climate. This range rises to between 2,000 and 3,000 feet above sea level in the northern part of the State and between 3,000 and 4,000 feet in the southern portion with occasional peaks rising another 1,000 to 1,500 feet. This range, athwart the path of the moisture laden marine air moving in from the Pacific, forces it to rise as it moves eastward. The resultant cooling and condensation produces some of the heaviest annual rainfalls in the United States along the higher western slopes, and materially reduces the available moisture in the air." }, { "docid": "D405382#0", "title": "https://weather.com/news/climate/news/winter-2016-2017-warmest-coldest-wettest-driest-records\nWhere Winter 2016-17 Ranked as One of the Warmest, Coldest, Wettest or Driest on Record", "text": "01:15Winter Extremes Nationwide Meteorologist Danielle Banks explains who saw the wettest, driest, coldest and warmest winters on record.

At this point, the main north–south road from the Willamette Valley met the road between Jacksonville and settlements along the Rogue River. In about 1870, Magruder Brothers opened a store at the crossroads. In 1872, a post office was established here under the name Central Point.

West of the Cascade Mountains, winters are chilly with frequent rain, while light snowfall occurs a few days a year; temperatures can get very cold, but only occasionally, as the result of Arcticcold waves. The high desert region of the state is much drier, with less rain, more snow, colder winters, and hotter summers. An oceanic climate (also called \"\"marine west coast climate\"\") predominates in Western Oregon, and a much drier semi-arid climate prevails east of the Cascade Range in Eastern Oregon. Major factors determining Oregon's climate include the large semi-permanent high pressure and low pressure systems of the north Pacific Ocean, the continental air masses of North America, and the Cascade mountains. [ 1] Oregon's population centers, which lie mostly in the western part of the state, are generally moist and mild, while the lightly populated high deserts of Central and Eastern Oregon are much drier. Contents [ hide ]1 Precipitation1.1 Snow2 Temperature3 Selected climate charts4 See also5 References5.1 Works cited Precipitation [ edit]Oregon rainfall varies widely from region to region. Precipitation in the state varies widely: some western coastal slopes approach 200 inches (5,100 mm) annually, while the driest places, such as the Alvord Desert (in the rain shadow of Steens Mountain) in eastern Oregon, get as little as 5 inches (130 mm). [ 2] [3]The Pacific Ocean, the moisture-laden air above it, and the storms moving from it over the Oregon coast, are major factors in the state's precipitation patterns. As humid ocean air flows east from the ocean and encounters the Coast Range, it rises steeply, cools, and loses moisture through condensation, which produces heavy rain." }, { "docid": "D1953823#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashland,_Oregon\nAshland, Oregon", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Ashland City Ashland, Oregon The Plaza Location of Ashland in Jackson County and in the state of Oregon Coordinates: 42°11′29″N 122°42′03″WCoordinates: 42°11′29″N 122°42′03″WCountry United States State Oregon County Jackson Settled 1852Government• Mayor John Stromberg ( D) [1] [2]Area [3]• Total 6.59 sq mi (17.07 km 2)• Land 6.59 sq mi (17.07 km 2)• Water 0 sq mi (0 km 2)Elevation [4] 1,949 ft (594 m)Population ( 2010) [5]• Total 20,078• Estimate (2015) [3] 20,861• Density 3,046.7/sq mi (1,176.3/km 2)Time zone Pacific ( UTC-8)• Summer ( DST) Pacific ( UTC-7)ZIP code 97520Area code (s) 541 and 458FIPS code 41-03050 [6]GNIS feature ID 1137318 [4]Website City of Ashland Ashland is a city in Jackson County, in the State of Oregon.

The city is the home of Southern Oregon University (SOU) and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF). These are important to Ashland's economy, which also depends on restaurants, galleries, and retail stores that cater to tourists. Lithia Park along Ashland Creek, historic buildings, and a paved intercity bike trail provide additional visitor attractions. Ashland, originally called Ashland Mills, was named after Ashland County, Ohio, the original home of founder Abel Helman, and secondarily for Ashland, Kentucky, where other founders had family connections. Ashland has a mayor-council government assisted by citizen committees. Historically, its liberal politics have differed, often sharply, with much of the rest of southwest Oregon.

However, in February, that core of cold weather is predicted to shift westward over the northern Rockies with colder-than-normal conditions extending all the way to the Washington and Oregon coasts. Not too far away, Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia, are predicted to have one of their top three coldest winters in the past 20 years, according to Accu Weather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist and Canadian Blogger Brett Anderson. Though February is expected to be a drier month for Seattle and Portland, chances for any snow events would be highest during this month with the colder air in place.

If it's been awhile since the walls and ceilings have been painted or cleaned, you should thoroughly clean them before painting as it can extend the life of a paint job by helping the paint to adhere better.

This method can cost $50-$250 or more a foot, depending on the length and depth of the existing pipes, local rates and the ease of access. Replacing an average sewer line from the house to where it connects to the public sewer system typically costs $3,000-$6,000. However, if the project is complex and/or if the connection to the public system is in the middle of the street it can cost $7,000-$25,000 or more. Cost Helper readers report paying $4,500-$13,000, or $50-$100 per foot traditional replacement of 50'-100' of sewer line, for an average cost of $7,493 or $106 per foot. Trenchless sewer replacement uses minimal digging with one of several methods -- pipe-bursting, in which a machine breaks and pushes out the old pipe while pulling through and installing a new pipe in its place. Expect to pay about $60-$200 per foot, or $3,500-$20,000 for an average household sewer line depending on the type, length and depth of the existing pipe, plus the cost of any required permits or sidewalk repairs. The trenchless slip-lining method (in which a new, smaller-diameter is installed inside the existing sewer line) or relining (both of which reduce the overall interior diameter of the sewer line) typically cost $80-$250 or more a foot, or $4,000-$25,000 or more for a typical household sewer. Cost Helper readers report paying $6,000-$12,000 or about $92-$238 per foot for trenchless sewer repair, with an average cost of $8,900 ($162 per foot).

There are two kinds of home improvements – giant kidney-shaped pools, state of the art home offices and the best privately owned topiary in the Midwest, or more practical improvements that are optimized to maximize your average cost and return on investment. A number of factors that affect how much of your costs you’ll recoup – the value of homes in the neighborhood, the state of the housing market as a whole and the timing of your sale, but here are the top six home improvements for selling a house that REALTORS® can use to get results for their clients. Remodel the Kitchen One of the most prominent turnoffs from prospective home buyers is an unattractive kitchen. Today’s kitchen is where families spend most of their time together and size doesn’t matter as much as appearance. Cabinets are the first thing that buyers notice but they’re also one of the more expensive items to replace. Have your sellers repaint or resurface them first, unless they are sorely dated or beat-up, then it’s a good idea to replace them entirely. Counter tops are more durable and can be upgraded with simple laminates. New faucets or shiny sinks will also help catch the eye of prospective buyers. Avoid the professional chef’s stove and the granite counter tops if your client wants the best return on investment and advise them to stick with more cost-effective upgrades and improvements." }, { "docid": "D497946#0", "title": "http://www.improvenet.com/r/costs-and-prices/cost-of-house-cleaning-services\nCost of House Cleaners", "text": "Cost of House Cleaners Most homeowners spend between $122 to $167 nationally.

Factors affecting the cost One would assume that the smaller the square footage, the lower the price. For lamination installation however, this is not true. The smaller the area in which the floor is being placed, the higher the cost will be per square foot. This is because a lot of trimming will be involved and it is more time-consuming.

Laminate flooring usually has an under layer; about a half-inch composite-wood/fiber core; a print/design layer with a photograph of the desired wood grain or other natural flooring style; and a top coating of clear melamine plastic resin that resists scratching, cutting and fading. ( Laminate flooring is sometimes confused with laminated wood flooring -- another name for engineered wood flooring -- which has an actual layer of wood veneer on top. ) Typical costs: Installing laminate flooring is a relatively common weekend project for two people with intermediate-level do-it-yourself skills. Low-cost laminate starts around 90 cents-$2 for thinner flooring (6-7mm). With some additional costs for underlayment and matching baseboards/trim, it can run $450-$950 for basic laminate materials for a 20x20-square-foot living room. Laminate prices are based in large part on how realistic-looking the flooring is; inexpensive laminate may look artificial. Thicker (8-12mm) and more realistic laminate could run $3-$7 a square foot, with total materials costs of $1,300-$3,000 for a living room. Other factors affecting the price include the efficiency and strength of the locking mechanism, higher levels of melamine in the core to improve moisture resistance, and options such as joints impregnated with Paraffin wax to repel water. Professional installation costs vary considerably by location, but can add $2-$5 a square foot.

The core consists of melamine resin and fiber board, over which a decorative layer (the part that you see) is placed. The outermost layer, a clear protective coat, is what makes Pergo so easy to maintain. While hardwoods require regular applications of sealer and wax for protection, Pergo needs virtually zero maintenance aside from occasional sweeping and mopping. Benefits of Pergo Flooring Pergo is available in a wide variety of styles and colors. Every wood color and grain pattern imaginable, and even stone tile, can be accurately mimicked by Pergo flooring." }, { "docid": "D645380#0", "title": "https://trustedpros.com/forum/home-improvements/what-is-the-average-cost-for-finishing-a-basement\nWhat is the average cost for finishing a basement?", "text": "What is the average cost for finishing a basement?

In the past, to lay interlocking laminate flooring in a basement, a subfloor of plywood was needed to provide a barrier between the cement and new flooring material. Today, there's a new interlocking underlayment that can be used called Delta® FL. The underlayment is a thin, 7/8-inch-high dimpled plastic sheeting that protects the flooring laminate from problems caused by damp concrete, allowing the dimpled underside to handle minor leaks other floor treatments cannot. The underlayment costs .51 cents a square foot. To lay the underlayment and laminate floor in a 10-by-12-foot room, a contractor will charge $815 for the labor and material. You can buy the material for $560 and do it yourself and save 31 percent. To find out if a cement floor is damp, conduct this simple test: Tape a piece of aluminum foil to the floor and wait a few weeks to see if an accumulation of moisture appears on the inside of the foil when it is removed. If it's dry, there's a good chance the cement doesn't hold moisture; if there are beads of moisture, consider painting the cement instead of finishing the floor.

Painting a house: Professional house painters often base price quotations on the square footage of a property. Alternatively, even if a person plans to paint their house themselves, measuring square footage can yield accurate estimates of the amount of paint required. Total cost encompasses more factors than the just amount of paint required including the cost of materials such as brushes, turpentine, and any materials necessary for preparing, mixing, applying, and cleaning up paint. These considerations are typically included in a quote from a professional painter, in addition to labor costs. Accordingly, the larger the size of a property or area, the higher the cost requirement to paint it.

Be aware that results may vary in terms of effectiveness whereby complete removal is possible sometimes, but other times, the tattoo can only be lightened or intentionally faded.

Microblading is a process executed by a certified and experienced cosmetic eyebrow tattoo artist using a hand held instrument with a small blade at the end. The cosmetic eyebrow tattoo artist will manually and carefully make little incisions in the skin that mimic the existing natural hair creating the perfect blend for the most natural looking eyebrows. This treatment is only semi-permanent due to how the pigments are inserted into the skin. The skin is made of 3 layers; the dermis, epidermis and the subcutaneous. The epidermis is the thin, tough, outer layer of skin that we see and touch. The dermis is the layer below and it contains nerve endings, sweat glands and hair follicles. The final layer is the subcutaneous fat layer which serves as a protective padding. When a client receives microblading, the cosmetic eyebrow tattoo artist will precisely penetrate only the first layer and by doing this the pigments only sit on the surface of the skin." }, { "docid": "D161174#0", "title": "https://www.roofingcalc.com/top-10-roof-dormer-types-and-costs/\nTop 10 Roof Dormer Types, Plus Costs and Pros & Cons", "text": "\"Top 10 Roof Dormer Types, Plus Costs and Pros & Cons Leave a reply Roof dormers can improve architectural design of your home, add living space, and provide other benefits, but what are your options?

The Pros There are several good reasons for a roof dormer: Dormers add architectural interest, accent, and detail: Having one or more dormers as part of a roof’s structure can boost the curb appeal of a home that might otherwise be a bit bland.

It also reduces baggy skin, receding upper eyelids and droopy eyelashes that affect vision. Eyelid surgery is also used to correct ptosis, a type of medical condition that leads to drooping eyelids as a result of nerve damage or inadequate muscle tone.

From decreasing frown lines to bringing cuteness on the face, botox is surely a pro technique or a secret weapon, which can help you in achieving some beauty goals irrespective of your gender and age. Botox is commonly used to prevent or decrease the frown lines on the face and make it look younger, without any exaggeration. Some people confuse the usage of botox with topical medications, which can be used anytime. However, there is more to botox and its usage which needs to be uncovered!What is Botox? Botox is a muscles relaxant injection, which is designed to reduce the stress from the congested muscles on the forehead (or any other face part) and relax them. When muscles of our face are overly active then, they tend to bring unwanted harsh expressions on the face thus, decreasing the natural beauty. These expressions are sometimes referred as the beginning of frown lines and wrinkles on the face. Scientifically, botox is an A type liquid injection, which consists of neurotoxin and is processed with the help of bacterium called as Clostridium Botulinum. For advanced safety, the injection of Botox is properly sterilized under harsh medical conditions by the certified company “Allergan”." } ]

In the four weeks since the series was released, the story has captivated the nation, launching a frenzy of binge-watching, and fueling conspiracy theories and outrage, both among those who think Avery was wrongfully convicted – even framed – and those who think the documentary was misleading. SLIDESHOW: 'Making a Murderer': Evidence Presented at the Murder Trial The documentary begins in 2003 in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, when Avery had just been released from prison after serving 18 years for a rape he didn’t commit. He had been exonerated by DNA evidence. Two years later, in 2005, just as Avery was in the middle of a $36 million dollar lawsuit against the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s department related to his 1985 wrongful rape conviction, he was arrested for murder. Avery had gone from being a celebrated face of wrongful convictions to being accused of raping and dismembering Halbach. Halbach, 25, was a freelance photographer working for Autotrader magazine when she went missing on Oct. 31, 2005. She had come to the Avery family’s salvage yard in Mishicot, Wisconsin, to take pictures of a vehicle Avery was selling. Her charred remains were found in a burn-pit near his trailer." }, { "docid": "D3203082#0", "title": "http://boatnerd.com/swayze/shipwreck/\nThe Great Lakes Shipwreck File: Total Losses of Great Lakes Ships 1679 - 1999by Dave Swayze © 1998 - 2001 - David D.

Bugs Bunny was conceived at Leon Schlesinger’s animation unit at Warner Brothers studios. Nicknamed “Termite Terrace” because of its spartan accommodations on the Warner lot, the unit boasted some of the top names in animation, including Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, and Friz Freleng, as well as renowned voice artist Mel Blanc and musician Carl Stalling. Bugs Bunny was the product of combined inspiration. Animator Ben (“Bugs”) Hardaway inadvertently christened him when his casual sketch of a proposed rabbit character was labeled “Bugs’s Bunny” by a fellow employee. Robert Mc Kimson drew the model sheet for the character, Freleng developed Bugs’s personality, Avery and Jones made further refinements, and Blanc infused him with his familiar wisecracking Brooklynese delivery. Embryonic versions of the character appeared in Warner cartoons as early as 1938, but not until A Wild Hare (1940) did Bugs appear in his familiar incarnation. Excerpt from the Warner Brothers cartoon Fresh Hare (1942), featuring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, both voiced by Mel Blanc. Public Domain Only Walt Disney ’s Mickey Mouse rivals Bugs Bunny as the most popular cartoon character of all time.

Alfred is largely used in the Dutch, English, French, German, Polish, and Scandinavian languages, and it is derived from Old English origins. The name's meaning is inspired advice; old peace. A two-element name, it is from the elements 'aelf' meaning elf, supernatural being ; 'raed' counsel, advice. The name could be derived from Aelfraed (Old English), meaning 'inspired advice', or Ealdfrith (Old English) or Alfrid, meaning 'old peace'. It was rather common before the Norman Conquest, and was borne by Alfred the Great (849-899), King of Wesse; he was widely respected for his inspiring rule, for driving the Danes out of England, and for his patronage of learning and culture. After the conquest, it was adopted in different forms by the Normans, and was one of the few Old English names that became popular beyond England and across the continent. It later fell into disuse by the end of the Middle Ages before experiencing a revival among other medieval names in the 19th century.

He used this model to analyze Steven Avery in the popular documentary Making a Murderer. His colleague Don Tennant contributed to this report. It’s extraordinarily difficult to watch the immensely popular Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer without feeling an overwhelming bias in favor of Steven Avery, the program’s hapless protagonist. After all, Avery had served 18 years in prison for a rape he didn’t commit, only to find himself back in prison a few years later, sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. Whether or not the filmmakers intentionally portrayed Avery as a victim, attempting to see him in any other light was an elusive quest. Compounding the empathy that audiences around the world have felt toward Avery is the fact that his conviction in the horrific death of the young photographer came largely at the hands of the seemingly seedy Manitowoc County, Wisc., Sheriff’s Department—the same law enforcement agency that had, perhaps knowingly, bungled the rape investigation that stole nearly two decades of Avery’s life from him.

Hallucinogenic drugs are seen as inherently worthless and inherently dangerous, producing negative societal changes. In contrast to this view is the fact that hallucinogenic plants have been used as religious sacrament, healing medicine, and spiritual guides for thousands of years. As an example of beneficial use of a plant hallucinogen, I will use the ancient traditional healing ceremonies, ceremonies still functioning today, which use the San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi). The key factor in the use of the cactus is the mescaline that it contains. The hallucinogenic effects of the mescaline is necessary for the healing ceremony to function properly. The beneficial use of psychedelic effects in the San Pedro cactus healing ritual contrasts with the negative associations society has about hallucinogens. The legal statutes and the societal taboo against researching the effects of plant hallucinogens is an example of the general attitude toward plants with psychoactive effects. These laws and opinions are crippling mostly to those who want to preserve traditional knowledge about beneficial plants. These laws and attitudes have come about because of misinformation about the psychedelics as well as widespread misuse of them." } ]

Hallucinogens are mind-altering drugs that are commonly known as psychedelics. Learn more about hallucinogens, the most common types and the various effects they have on people. What Are Hallucinogens? Hallucinogens are certain types of drugs that distort a person's mental and perceptual abilities and often produce bizarre images and sensations. These sensations are so unusual that they're sometimes referred to as trips. Users often see images, hear sounds and experience sensations that seem realistic but do not exist. For example, a person using a hallucinogen may feel as though bugs are crawling over their entire body when there are, in fact, no insects on them at all. Hallucinogens have been used throughout history both as a source of natural medicine and in religious traditions around the world." }, { "docid": "D98646#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mescaline\nMescaline", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with mezcal, mesclun, or mexamine.

December 25, 2016138SHARESShare Tweet Share Print Send DMT is not illegal because of any scientific research which states that it is dangerous, or because there have been committees which have investigated its effects. DMT is illegal because of a United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Drugs in 1971, that all countries signed except East Timor, Equatorial Guinea, Haiti, Kiribati, Liberia, Nauru, Samoa, Solomon Islands, South Sudan, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. DMT is illegal because LSD was made illegal in the United States in the 1966, which then catalyses the United Nations blanket ban on all psychotropic compounds in 1971. The United Nations convention put LSD and DMT into the schedule 1 category, even higher than morphine or amphetamine (which are in Schedule 2), stating that compounds in schedule 1 pose a serious risk to public health and have no therapeutic value – and yet, no evidence for these claims and resulting legislation were ever made. Amazonian shaman holding ayahuasca brew LSD is not as dangerous as many people think it is, with extremely few people taking it dying, compared to the very large numbers of people who are taking it globally.https://erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_death.shtml However, the establishment in the United States clearly considered LSD dangerous due to its culturally destabilising effect, because under its influence the baby boomers began to reject the status quo, and protest against foreign wars, and so LSD was perceived to promote social unrest and upheaval. There are no reported deaths from anyone smoking DMT and neither have I heard of anyone becoming physically injured from smoking DMT. DMT is non-addictive and no physical harm has ever been shown to be demonstrated with the administration of DMT. So why is DMT still illegal then? I would say it is still illegal because it is presumably easier and convenient of governments to maintain its illegality, and there is a lack of lobbying to make DMT legal." }, { "docid": "D83731#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_drug_use\nRecreational drug use", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Adriaen Brouwer, The Smokers (1636) Edgar Degas, L’Absinthe (1873)Recreational drug use is the use of a psychoactive drug to induce an altered state of consciousness for pleasure, by modifying the perceptions, feelings, and emotions of the user. When a psychoactive drug enters the user's body, it induces an intoxicating effect. Generally, recreational drugs are in three categories: depressants (drugs that induce a feeling of relaxation and calm); stimulants (drugs that induce a sense of energy and alertness); and hallucinogens (drugs that induce perceptual distortions such as hallucination ). In popular practice, recreational drug use generally is a tolerated social behaviour, rather than perceived as the serious medical condition of self-medication. However, heavy use of some drugs is socially stigmatized. Recreational drugs include alcohol (as found in beer, wine, and distilled spirits ); cannabis and hashish; nicotine ( tobacco ); caffeine ( coffee and black tea ); and the controlled substances listed as illegal drugs in the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961) and the Convention on Psychotropic Substances (1971) of the United Nations. What controlled substances are considered illegal drugs varies by country, but usually includes methamphetamines, heroin, cocaine, and club drugs. In 2009, it was estimated that about 3% to 6% of people aged 15 to 65 had used illegal drugs at least once (149 to 270 million).

The story of this syndrome begins with a cactus. Mescaline is a chemical, derived from a cactus, that causes vivid hallucinations. It was studied (sometimes quite personally) by the psychologist Heinrich Klüver, who noticed that monkeys given mescaline often smacked their lips, which reminded him of patients with seizures arising from the temporal lobe. To try to find the brain region affected by mescaline, the pair worked with an aggressive monkey named Aurora. They removed a large part of Aurora's left temporal lobe, due to the lobe's association with seizures, to investigate it under a microscope. When Aurora woke, her previously aggressive demeanor had vanished, and she was instead placid and tame. Symptoms At this point, Heinrich Klüver lost interest in mescaline and focused on the temporal lobe instead. In a series of different procedures and tests on 16 monkeys, Klüver and Bucy found that monkeys with bilateral temporal lobe surgery often had the following symptoms: Psychic Blindness - This is a term that signifies a lack of meaning in what was being viewed, and the monkey would view the same object over and over. In the words of the researchers, \"\"the monkey seemed just as eager to examine the tongue of a hissing snake, the mouth of a cat, a wire cage, or a wagon as a piece of food.\"\"" }, { "docid": "D522239#0", "title": "http://www.ayahuasca-info.com/faq\nFAQ", "text": "FAQI WOULD LIKE TO PARTAKE IN AN AYAHUASCA CEREMONY.

( 1) The vaccine contains a weakened live strain of Mycobacterium bovis, which is present in cows and shares a common ancestor with the human tubercule bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis (2). Similar to other vaccines, BCG triggers the formation of antibodies from the harmless strain of Myobacterium bovis to help prevent tuberculosis (Figure 1) (1). The efficacy of BCG vaccine varies from 0-80% depending on age, the type of BCG vaccine, and the population (1). Although BCG remains as the primary vaccine against tuberculosis, it has only produced variable amounts of success. Many factors, including recent findings that distinct BCG strains have very different biochemical characteristics due to mutations, have further complicated the issue (1). Researchers are currently searching for a more effective way to treat tuberculosis disease, but none have been found to date (1).

The approval was announced Sunday at the 75th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association by Dr. Denise Faustman, director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Immunobiology Laboratory in Boston and principal investigator of the study. According to the American Diabetes Association, 5 percent of people with diabetes — or roughly three million individuals — have type 1, in which the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Faustman told Reuters Health that the BCG vaccine temporarily raises levels of a substance called tumor necrosis factor, or TNF — and the higher TNF levels can eliminate the damaging T cells in the blood of individuals with type 1 diabetes. In a small preliminary trial, Faustman’s team found that two BCG injections given four weeks apart temporarily eliminated diabetes-causing T cells.

Nowadays, patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who present the full spectrum of symptoms and signs are unusual in developed countries, but doctors and health workers often see such patients in developing countries. Lung cancer has become a more common cause of some or all of these symptoms in developed countries, and, as cigarette smoking increases, this may well become the case in developing countries." }, { "docid": "D257591#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantoux_test\nMantoux test", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The Mantoux skin test consists of an intradermal injection of one-tenth of a milliliter (ml) of PPD tuberculin.

It is one of the major tuberculin skin tests used around the world, largely replacing multiple-puncture tests such as the tine test. The Heaf test, a form of tine test, was used until 2005 in the UK, when it was replaced by the Mantoux test. The Mantoux test is endorsed by the American Thoracic Society and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was also used in the USSR and is now prevalent in most of the post-Soviet states.

Treating TBVaccination for TBCountries with high TB rates Overview Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection spread through inhaling tiny droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected person. It mainly affects the lungs, but it can affect any part of the body, including the tummy (abdomen) glands, bones and nervous system. TB is a serious condition, but it can be cured if it's treated with the right antibiotics. Symptoms of TBTypical symptoms of TB include:a persistent cough that lasts more than three weeks and usually brings up phlegm, which may be bloodyweight lossnight sweatshigh temperature (fever)tiredness and fatigueloss of appetiteswellings in the neck You should see a GP if you have a cough that lasts more than three weeks or you cough up blood.

TB that affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) is the most contagious type, but it usually only spreads after prolonged exposure to someone with the illness. In most healthy people, the body's natural defence against infection and illness (the immune system) kills the bacteria and there are no symptoms." }, { "docid": "D462247#0", "title": "http://www.healthcaremagic.com/search/bcg-vaccine-twice-given-mistake\nBcg vaccine twice given mistake", "text": "Health Topics » Drug/Medication » Bcg »Showing results for : Bcg vaccine twice given mistake Premium Questions BCG vaccine, bump Baby got a puncture on her BCG vaccine bump ...

The actual size of the scar depended on the person's normal reaction to scarring. E.g., I have a barely noticeable scar while my daughter has a really nasty one. But every scar my daughter gets is really nasty.

Reservoirs: Humans are the only known reservoir for M. tuberculosis. ( 2, 3). General Characteristics: M. tuberculosis is an acid-fast bacteria, and neither Gram positive nor Gram negative. When Gram stained, it gives the appearance of “ghost” cells (3, 4). The Ziehl-Neelsen stain may be used to identify M. tuberculosis, and if present will appear pink in color on the slide. It is a nonmotile rod-shaped obligate aerobe that does not form spores. Mycolic acids are present in the cell walls of M. tuberculosis which are composed of peptidoglycan.

Several types of immunotherapy can be used to treat melanoma. Immune checkpoint inhibitors These newer drugs have shown a lot of promise in treating advanced melanomas. An important part of the immune system is its ability to keep itself from attacking normal cells in the body. To do this, it uses “checkpoints”, which are proteins on immune cells that need to be turned on (or off) to start an immune response. Melanoma cells sometimes use these checkpoints to avoid being attacked by the immune system. But these drugs target the checkpoint proteins, helping to restore the immune response against melanoma cells. PD-1 inhibitors Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and nivolumab (Opdivo) are drugs that target PD-1, a protein on immune system cells called T cells that normally help keep these cells from attacking other cells in the body. By blocking PD-1, these drugs boost the immune response against melanoma cells. This can often shrink tumors and help people live longer (although it’s not yet clear if these drugs can cure melanoma)." }, { "docid": "D206997#0", "title": "http://www.thetruthabouttb.org/do-i-have-tb/testing-for-tb/\nTesting for TB", "text": "If your GP suspects you may have TB, they will send you for testing.

Chest x-ray A chest x-ray can show damage in your lungs, but you might need further tests to prove you have TB, such as sputum and culture tests or scans. Testing sputum A lab will use a microscope to look at any sputum (phlegm) that you cough up. If there are TB germs in your sputum, you have tuberculosis of the lungs or throat (pulmonary TB). This test also helps doctors to understand how infectious you may be. Biopsy If it is thought that you have TB, but not in your lungs or throat, the doctor may take a biopsy to test for TB.

Sterling, M. D., and David W. Haas, M. D. Article Figures/Media5 References 15 Citing Articles The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a health care worker to patients in New York City. 1 Several aspects of the episode were notable: the health care worker was foreign-born; latent tuberculosis infection had previously been diagnosed by tuberculin skin testing, but the health care worker had declined treatment; and after active disease developed in the health care worker, 1500 persons were exposed, which necessitated a large-scale contact investigation to determine the extent of transmission and prevent further spread. Today, the incidence of tuberculosis in the United States is the lowest ever recorded. This downward trend has been driven largely by steady decreases in incidence among persons born in this country. However, case rates have not decreased among foreign-born persons living in the United States, and tuberculosis in the foreign-born now accounts for most of the reported domestic cases. Latent tuberculosis infection is also more common among foreign-born persons: one third of the world's population, but less than 10 percent of the U. S. population, has latent infection. In recent decades, the proportion of foreign-born health care workers in this country has increased. One fourth of all practicing physicians in the United States graduated from foreign medical schools, and the number of foreign-born nurses employed here has increased in response to a shortage of registered nurses. Although these health care workers play a crucial role in health care delivery, one consequence is that an increasing proportion of U. S. health care providers are infected with M. tuberculosis. From the CDC/George Kubica Recommended approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of M. tuberculosis infection in foreign-born health care workers are the same as those for health care workers who were born here." }, { "docid": "D1697435#0", "title": "http://www.tbfreeengland.co.uk/vaccination/\nVaccination", "text": "Vaccination TB Free England Explained: Vaccination Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

It must be turned by a prime mover that can be an internal combustion engine (driven, usually, by diesel oil or gasoline), or it can be a turbine, driven either by superheated steam or by water falling from a reservoir. ( The latter is known as \"\"hydro-electric power generation.\"\") Before today's solid-state voltage inverters were invented, electric motors were often used to drive generators to produce a different type of electrical power (for example, to produce dc power from an ac service or to produce 3-phase ac power from a single-phase ac service). For more information, see the answers to the Related Questions shown below. In electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy for use in an external circuit. The source of mechanical energy may vary widely from a hand crank to an internal combustion engine.

An alternator is a charging system for cars that produces electricity. Generators are used in the production of large-scale electricity. Both alternators and generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The main difference between them is in regard to what spins and what is fixed.

Much good evidence, from field and laboratory petrology, from geophysics, and from physical chemistry is now available and some fairly definite conclusions seem possible. I have therefore selected as the subject of my address: The Temperatures of Magmas. RHYOLITIC MAGMAS HAVE LOWER TEMPERATURES THAN BASALTIC MAGMASMany economic geologists and some petrographers still adhere to the belief that rhyolitic magmas have higher temperatures than basaltic magmas. So far as I am aware, the only evidence for this is the fact that basaltic rocks on heating become fluid at lower temperatures than do rhyolitic rocks. However, a careful study of the evidence, mostly petrographic, shows conclusively that the opposite is true and we explain the apparent discrepancy as due to the water and other mineralizers which are in the rhyolitic magma but are not in the rhyolitic rock melted in an open crucible. It has long been known that an obsidian with considerable water becomes fluid before the blowpipe at a rather low temperature but on continued heating it loses its water and thereafter can be made liquid only at a much higher temperature. Let us consider the crystallization on slow cooling of a magma intermediate in composition between a rhyolite and a basalt yielding a basalt porphyry, or a gabbro porphyry, containing more or less quartz and orthoclase. The study of thin sections of such rocks shows that, with few exceptions, the early crystals to form are calcic plagioclase and dark minerals and, as crystallization proceeds, the feldspar becomes progressively more sodic. The remaining liquid will become poorer and poorer in the material for calcic feldspar and dark minerals and richer in that for quartz, orthoclase, and sodic feldspar." }, { "docid": "D3317261#0", "title": "https://www.flashcardmachine.com/igneous-rocks9.html\nShared Flashcard Set", "text": "\"Shared Flashcard Set Details Title Igneous Rocks Description Basic Terms, defintions and explanations Total Cards 76Subject Geology Level Undergraduate 1Created 10/28/2013Click here to study/print these flashcards .

The resulting structures after solidification and cooling are also sometimes described as lava. The molten rock is formed in the interior of some planets, including Earth, and some of their satellites, though such material located below the crust is referred to by other terms. A lava flow is a moving outpouring of lava created during a non-explosive effusive eruption. When it has stopped moving, lava solidifies to form igneous rock. The term lava flow is commonly shortened to lava. Although lava can be up to 100,000 times more viscous than water, lava can flow great distances before cooling and solidifying because of its thixotropic and shear thinning properties.

In any case, these coarse mineral grains point to a long, sustained period of grain growth in the magma or to specific compositional factors, such as high water content, that greatly facilitate growth of large-size silicate mineral grains from a magma.7. Why are the crystals in pegmatites so large? Very large silicate mineral grains (crystals) indicate extremely fast, in-melt transport of the mineral constituents to the growing crystals. We know that pegmatite magmas are small volume, relatively low temperature melts that are extremely rich in water and other dissolved volatiles. The volatiles promote very fast rates of material transfer, thus accounting for rapid growth of very large crystals.8.

A thin layer of rock separates the Earth's oceans from the hot mantle beneath them. In this lesson, you'll read about the composition and life cycle of this oceanic crust. Then you can take a quiz to test your understanding. What Is Oceanic Crust? All over the Earth, just a few miles below our feet, the powerful tectonic forces that create and destroy the Earth's crust are at work 24 hours a day. We're usually unaware of them until a violent earthquake, volcanic eruption, or tsunami threatens lives and property, but this cycle is essential to all life. It creates the crust of the Earth we walk on, and the crust that lies at the ocean floor. Oceanic crust is the part of the Earth's crust that makes up the seafloor. It's thinner, denser, and simpler in structure than the continental crust." }, { "docid": "D152989#0", "title": "http://geology.about.com/od/more_igrocks/a/granite.htm\nWhat Is Granite?", "text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science What Is Granite?

The other rocky planets— Mercury, Venus and Mars—are covered with basalt, as is the ocean floor of Earth. But only Earth has this beautiful and interesting rock type in abundance. Granite Basics Three things distinguish granite. First, granite is made of large mineral grains (its name is Latin for \"\"granum,\"\" or \"\"grain\"\") that fit tightly together. It is phaneritic, meaning its individual grains are large enough to distinguish with the human eye. Second, granite always consists of the minerals quartz and feldspar, with or without a wide variety of other minerals (accessory minerals)." }, { "docid": "D206495#0", "title": "https://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/mauisoil/a_factor_form.aspx\nSoil Formation", "text": "Soil Formation Soil fertility is greatly influenced by the factors of soil formation. As soils form, nutrients are being continually removed from and added to the soil with time. The conditions that are present during soil formation ultimately determine how much and what kind of nutrients the soil can naturally supply and hold. In the previous section, we discussed how soil profiles vary from place to place. In fact, differences in soil make-up cause soils to behave and perform in many different ways. We have mentioned the process of weathering when we discussed soil mineral composition. Now, we will discuss the processes of weathering in terms of soil formation. We will begin by looking at the 5 factors of soil formation that cause great differences in the development of soil profiles on Maui.

Thus, the petrological and geochemical usages of the term have become vague and flexible and it is difficult to obtain agreement among workers. As Lavoisier famously said “ …it is impossible to dissociate science from language… ”; in order to make progress we need clear concepts and a precise language. Introduction Recent studies do not support the existence of Core-Mantle Boundary (CMB) type temperatures (ΔT~1500°C) or thermally driven mantle plumes originating from the CMB as the cause of ocean-island magmatism. Most Ocean Island Basalts (OIB) have inferred temperatures that overlap the range inferred at midocean ridges (see Thermal pages). In some studies, the temperatures inferred from magma at Hawaii fall outside the range of MORB but this is the only such location, for modern basalts, and the maximum anomaly is ΔT < 150°C. Even these modest temperature anomalies are contested [see Primary magmas at mid-ocean ridges ]. Hawaiian xenoliths do not support such high temperatures and other studies of magmas have a smaller excess temperature." }, { "docid": "D865283#0", "title": "http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/geol204/volcan&magma.htm\n.", "text": "EENS 3050Natural Disasters Tulane University Prof. Stephen A.

Characteristics of Magma Types of Magma Types of magma are determined by chemical composition of the magma. Three general types are recognized: Basaltic magma -- Si O 2 45-55 wt%, high in Fe, Mg, Ca, low in K, Na Andesitic magma -- Si O 2 55-65 wt%, intermediate. in Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, KRhyolitic magma -- Si O 2 65-75%, low in Fe, Mg, Ca, high in K, Na Gases in Magmas At depth in the Earth nearly all magmas contain gas dissolved in the liquid, but the gas forms a separate vapor phase when pressure is decreased as magma rises toward the surface of the Earth. This is similar to carbonated beverages which are bottled at high pressure. The high pressure keeps the gas in solution in the liquid, but when pressure is decreased, like when you open the can or bottle, the gas comes out of solution and forms a separate gas phase that you see as bubbles. Gas gives magmas their explosive character, because volume of gas expands as pressure is reduced. The composition of the gases in magma are: Mostly H 2 O (water vapor) & some CO 2 (carbon dioxide)Minor amounts of Sulfur, Chlorine, and Fluorine gases The amount of gas in a magma is also related to the chemical composition of the magma.

By definition, basalt is an aphanitic igneous rock with less than 20% quartz and less than 10% feldspathoid by volume, and where at least 65% of the feldspar is in the form of plagioclase. Basalt is usually grey to black in colour, but rapidly weathers to brown or rust-red due to oxidation of its mafic minerals into rust. It almost always has a fine-grained mineral texture due to the molten rock cooling too quickly for large mineral crystals to grow, although it can sometimes be porphyritic, containing the larger crystals formed prior to the extrusion that brought the lava to the surface, embedded in a finer-grained matrix. Basalt with a vesicular or frothy texture is called scoria, and forms when dissolved gases are forced out of solution and form vesicles as the lava decompresses as it reaches the surface. On Earth, most basalt magmas have formed by decompression melting of the mantle. Basalt commonly erupts on Io, the third largest moon of Jupiter, and has also formed on Earth's Moon, Mars, Venus, and the asteroid Vesta. Source rocks for the partial melts probably include both peridotite and pyroxenite. The crustal portions of oceanic tectonic plates are composed predominantly of basalt, produced from upwelling mantle below ocean ridges." }, { "docid": "D1518509#0", "title": "http://www.sandatlas.org/basalt/\nBasalt", "text": "Basalt Basalt is a very common dark-colored volcanic rock composed of calcic plagioclase (usually labradorite), clinopyroxene ( augite) and iron ore (titaniferous magnetite ).

The basemap is a Space Shuttle radar topography image by NASA. Part I. The East African Rift System The East African Rift System (EARS) is one the geologic wonders of the world, a place where the earth's tectonic forces are presently trying to create new plates by splitting apart old ones. In simple terms, a rift can be thought of as a fracture in the earth's surface that widens over time, or more technically, as an elongate basin bounded by opposed steeply dipping normal faults. Geologists are still debating exactly how rifting comes about, but the process is so well displayed in East Africa (Ethiopia-Kenya-Uganda-Tanzania) that geologists have attached a name to the new plate-to-be; the Nubian Plate makes up most of Africa, while the smaller plate that is pulling away has been named the Somalian Plate (Figure 1). These two plates are moving away form each other and also away from the Arabian plate to the north. The point where these three plates meet in the Afar region of Ethiopia forms what is called a triple-junction. However, all the rifting in East Africa is not confined to the Horn of Africa; there is a lot of rifting activity further south as well, extending into Kenya and Tanzania and Great Lakes region of Africa." }, { "docid": "D529112#0", "title": "http://study.com/academy/lesson/mantle-plume-definition-lesson-quiz.html\nMantle Plume: Definition & Explanation", "text": "\" {\"\"error\"\":true,\"\"iframe\"\":true}Your next lesson will play in 10 seconds Add to Timeline Autoplay 24K views Create an account to start this course today Try it free for 5 days!Create An Account Recommended Lessons and Courses for You Related Lessons Related Courses Slab Pull: Definition & Theory Island Arc: Definition & Formation Ridge Push: Definition & Overview Batholith: Definition & Formation Lesson Transcript Instructor: Charles Spencer Charles teaches college courses in geology and environmental science, and holds a Ph.

Yet, they are proposed as an explanation for many volcanic features. You'll learn what geologists think they are in this lesson. What Is a Mantle Plume? A mantle plume is a large column of hot rock rising through the mantle. The heat from the plume causes rocks in the lower lithosphere to melt. The largest (and most persistent) mantle plumes are presumed to form where a large volume of mantle rock is heated at the core-mantle boundary, about 1,800 miles below the surface, although smaller plumes may originate elsewhere within the mantle. Once the temperature increases sufficiently to lower the rock density, a column of the hotter-than-normal rock (perhaps 2,000 kilometers in diameter) starts to rise very slowly through the surrounding mantle rocks." }, { "docid": "D1518506#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Basalt\nTalk:Basalt", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Basalt has been listed as a level-4 vital article in Science, Physics.

It lacks layering, cleavage, foliation, phenocrysts, etc. It is just a piece of volcanic glass without further conditions. In the majority of cases obsidian solidified subaerially (on land). Volcanic glass that formed underwater has alternative names like tachylite and hyaloclastite. Typical obsidian is either black or slightly reddish and often demonstrates beautiful conchoidal fracture. Width of sample 11 cm.

To eliminate and stop armpit odor naturally use home remedies like vinegar, baking soda, lemon, tea tree oil, aloe vera and honey. Following these tips daily will eliminate the bad smell from underarms in a week. Bad odor from body can lead to a very embarrassing situation. The actual reason for this bad scent is not sweat, the main offenders are the bacteria on skin that work on sweat leading to the unpleasant aroma. Take regular baths Taking regular baths is an important step for removing the sweat on skin. If you don’t take daily showers the number of bacteria on skin increases tremendously that can lead to body odor. Hence during baths properly wash both your underarms to prevent it from darkening and for removing the skin impurities. Use dry towels for body as moist ones contain a lot of bacteria in it. Also after a workout when you reach home, remove sweaty clothes, take a small shower and wear clean clothes." }, { "docid": "D876807#0", "title": "http://www.thefreedictionary.com/warm\nwarm", "text": "\"warm Also found in: Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Acronyms, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia .warm (wôrm)adj. warm·er, warm·est1.

Posted Jan 12, 2015SHARETWEETEMAILMORESource: Wikimedia Commons Guest post by Amanda White Winter has arrived with a vengeance, blasting us with subzero wind chills and furious snow squalls. Though I don’t enjoy shoveling the driveway in these unhospitable conditions, it gives me the chance to savor the piercingly fresh scent of snow. This scent can instantly transport me back in time to one of those rare days in my childhood when there was enough snow to go sledding: We got the call around 5:30am that school was cancelled. I spent the entire day propelled by that euphoria – climbing up and riding down the sledding hill, building snow forts with the neighbors, and finally collapsing next to the fire, exhausted and content, after a mug of hot chocolate. That complex emotion and memory can be triggered by a simple sensory cue: the smell of winter air. How do smells trigger such strong emotions and memories? The answer is likely due to brain anatomy. Incoming smells are first processed by the olfactory bulb, which starts inside the nose and runs along the bottom of the brain. The olfactory bulb has direct connections to two brain areas that are strongly implicated in emotion and memory: the amygdala and hippocampus." }, { "docid": "D1614588#0", "title": "http://www.theflowersavenue.com/freesia/\n", "text": "March 21, 2012 Leave a comment Maya Barnes Flowers You can call the freesia flower the most fragrant flower.

In general, the Yorkshire Terrier breed does not have any breed related reasons for having a bad smell. However, there are reasons why a bad odor would permeate through the coat, ears, mouth and other areas. We are going to look at the explanations of why a smell may be coming from a Yorkie and steps that you can take to keep your puppy or dog from maintaining a fresh, clean scent. The Coat and Skin There are 2 elements that can build up on the coat that will combine to create a disagreeable odor:1- It is true that dogs mainly perspire through their paws, however this does not mean that the coat stays dry. A small amount of perspiration is emitted through hair follicles from the coat. While this is very light, in time - without the proper grooming and baths- this will begin to smell bad.2- Natural body oils are found on the skin and these are produced to keep both skin and coat healthy. This has a very light scent as well, but as with perspiration, it can build up to the point of having a bad odor. Skin conditions such as dry, irritated skin (sometimes due to allergies) can trigger the body to produce more oil than normal, and therefore without a few extra baths with a quality product that is both moisturizing and protecting, an odor can begin to build up. How to Resolve This -If your Yorkie has any sort of skin irritation (dry skin, yeast, mites), this should be treated." }, { "docid": "D1450307#0", "title": "https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Houbigant/Chantilly-2685.html\nChantilly Houbigant for women", "text": "\"Designers » F-H » Houbigant Oriental « Groups Chantilly Houbigant for women Sponsored Buy Houbigant at Lucky Scent Buy it online BIG SALE on or Right now there are 2 items on I have it I had it I want itlove like dislike winter spring summer fall day night Total people voted: 684female 25- 25+ male 25- 25+I have it: 535 I had it: 423 I want it: 144 My signature: 7main accordswarm spicycitruswoodybalsamicaromatic Pictures Chantilly by Houbigant is a Oriental fragrance for women.

Most people think showering once a day is the norm, but there are plenty of people who don't — and it might be healthier. Starre Vartan January 28, 2014, 5:43 p.m.22k Tweet358147Is it really important to shower every single day? ( Photo: Nadya Korobkova/Shutterstock)If you don't shower much — but generally keep that information to yourself because of the negative stigma — you're not alone. Following hot on the heels of the no-shampooing hair care revolution, some folks are taking the logical next step: If no or reduced shampooing results in healthier, shinier hair, what about skipping soaping up the body? Unlike the modified hair-washing schedule, which tends to elicit commentary about shampoos and parabens, conditioners and hair-drying time, skipping showers altogether seems to bring up plenty of other opinions on the subject. Many people who do shower every day think that not doing so is inherently wrong and unhealthy. It's assumed that people who don't shower on the regular are stinky and/or greasy and maybe even visibly dirty — and it certainly can't be good for you. But considering that it has really only been the last 100 years or so that people have bathed more than once a week (Saturday night baths were the norm for most of American history), daily showering is actually not objectively healthier or better; and in fact, one of the most common reasons that people cut down on showering is actually for skin-health reasons, not laziness. As far as being actually physically dirty, most of us who don't work outside or aren't otherwise involved in daily work where we might get covered in dust, dirt or grease probably don't get any real dirt on anything other than our faces and hands most weeks." }, { "docid": "D2993641#0", "title": "http://www.refocusonbeing.com/diy-essential-oil-diffuser-locket-necklaces/\nDIY Essential Oil Diffuser Locket Necklaces", "text": "DIY Essential Oil Diffuser Locket Necklaces November 10, 2014 | 35 Comments A lthough it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, I am going to get you started on the path to an ultra-creative DIY Christmas.

Here’s a simple recipe for making your own homemade insecticidal soap using ordinary household ingredients. Homemade Insecticidal Soap Recipe The simplest insecticidal soap is nothing more than a 2% soap solution. To make this at home, you will need: Sprayer: Any clean spray bottle or garden sprayer will work fine for spraying insecticidal soap. Make sure the sprayer or bottle hasn’t been used for herbicides. Pure Soap: Use a pure liquid soap, such as Castile, or all-natural soap. The active ingredient in insecticidal soap comes from the fatty acids in animal fat or vegetable oil, so it’s important to use the real thing. Don’t use detergents (which aren’t actually soaps), dish soaps, or any products with degreasers, skin moisturizers, or synthetic chemicals. Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Soap is usually pretty easy to find in stores, or check your local natural-foods store for other options.

These athletes are always looking for help in increasing the size and strength of their muscles. Arginine AKG is one way to achieve these results. Arginine is one of the amino acids and alpha ketoglutarate is a form of glutamine, another amino acid. Amino acids help to build proteins in the body. The specific combination of these two amino acids also helps to increase the body’s production of nitric oxide. Arginine AKG is a supplement that is offered by many health and vitamin stores and is available in a variety of doses. As with all supplements, you should know the benefits, side effects, and dosage requirements before you start taking arginine AKG. Not all types of physical activity are suitable for everyone. Users take training advice at their own personal risk." } ]

It plays a role in several important body functions, including cell division, wound healing, immune function, and the removal of ammonia from the body. Arginine may also be important during growth periods, since experts believe it may stimulate secretion of human growth hormone. Arginine helps make nitric oxide, which dilates or relaxes arteries, making blood flow more freely and thus lowering blood pressure. Nitric oxide also helps prevent clot formation and plaque buildup on artery walls that can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Because of arginine's role in the production of nitric oxide, it has been suggested that the amino acid may be useful as a treatment for a variety of heart conditions. Doses as large as 30 grams of arginine per day have been used to treat congestive heart failure. Experts have also looked at the role of arginine in intermittent claudication (painful cramping in the calf as a result of poor circulation). Individuals with advanced hardening and narrowing of the arteries often have difficulty walking due to a lack of blood flow to the legs. In one study, individuals who consumed snack food bars containing arginine were able to improve their walking distance." }, { "docid": "D1219541#0", "title": "https://nutritionreview.org/2013/04/krebs-cycle-intermediates/\nKrebsâ Cycle Intermediates", "text": "Nutrition Review Archive Krebs’ Cycle Intermediates By Nutriton Review.org - April 22, 2013 890779Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter Maximizing Your Body’s Performance By Ward Dean, MD and Jim English Production and management of sustainable biological energy resources is of vital concern for everyone. Disruptions in the normal production of mitochondrial energy can contribute to a wide range of metabolic disturbances and symptoms, including fatigue, immune system dysfunction, dementia, depression, behavioral disturbances, attention deficiency, muscle weakness and pain, angina, heart disease, diabetes, skin rashes, and hair loss. These symptoms of metabolic impairment are also present in persons suffering from acquired diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and in those with inherited mitochondrial diseases, such as mitochondrial myopathy. As these conditions share a common link in mechanisms of metabolic energy production, they may also benefit from nutritional strategies that optimize energy production and metabolic pathways. The Krebs’ Cycle All cells must produce energy to survive. Hans A. Krebs first elucidated the process of cells converting food into energy, the Citric Acid Cycle, in 1937. Krebs proposed a specific metabolic pathway within the cells to account for the oxidation of the basic components of food – carbohydrates, protein and fats – w for energy. The Krebs’ cycle takes place inside the mitochondria or ‘power plant’ of cells and provides energy required for the organism to function. Mitochondria are found in all cells in the human body, with the exception of mature red blood cells. The primary function of these tiny organelles (each cell contains between 500 and 2,000 mitochondria) is to convert energy found in nutrient molecules and store it in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)." }, { "docid": "D2453481#0", "title": "http://www.argininealpha-ketoglutarate.com/how-arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate-benefits-outweigh-side-effects/\nHow Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate Benefits Outweigh Side Effects", "text": "How Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate Benefits Outweigh Side Effects There are many muscle building supplements that are available in the market today. Most of these supplements contain the amino acid, L-arginine which is known to have many benefits as far as body building is concerned. However, when the arginine alpha ketoglutarate muscle building supplement was introduced in the market, the first bodybuilders who tried the new supplement were the first ones to gain the arginine alpha ketoglutarate benefits. By taking the arginine-akg supplement, the body builders experienced a rapid increase in muscle size, strength and endurance, a reduction in their body fats and stimulation of their immune system. During strenuous workouts their muscles were ripped but were healed fast. Bodybuilders experienced continuous pump hence the flow of blood is enhanced thereby releasing toxins and replaced it with energy and oxygen. The use of arginine-akg supplement also boosted the men’s sexual capability. The human body produces amino acids like arginine and alpha ketoglutarate to create nitric oxide. The arginine supplied by the human body is not enough to boost nitric oxide that is why a person eats more nuts and seeds to increase the supply of arginine-akg in the body.

Citrulline’s name is actually derived from the Latin word for watermelon—citrullus—because it was first isolated from the fruit in 1930.1What does L-Citrulline and L-Arginine do? Together they help:• Support cardiovascular health by boosting nitric oxide production and helping blood flow more easily throughout the body• Support healthy blood pressure and boost the immune system• Detoxify the liver and eliminate ammonia from the body• Improve sexual stamina and enhance recovery from an intense workout Who might benefit from taking a supplement containing both citrulline and arginine?• Anyone who wants to support healthy blood pressure Individuals who want to avoid angina (chest pain)• Individuals who want to avoid leg pain due to poor blood circulation• Anyone who wants protection from heart attack and stroke• Men suffering from erectile dysfunction• Athletes who want a faster recovery How are citrulline and arginine related? As soon as citrulline enters the kidney, vascular endothelium and other tissues, it is converted into arginine.

L-arginine is a key nutrient in promoting efficient blood flow and overall cardiovascular function. L-arginine is considered one of the \"\"semi-essential\"\" amino acids—meaning, your body can't produce it in sufficient quantities, so you must obtain most of it from your diet. But new research is emerging every day that this little powerhouse-nutrient plays a number of other important roles in your health, with benefits stretching far beyond your heart and blood. It appears that cardiovascular benefits may have just been the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what L-arginine can do for you—including possibly slowing down the aging process itself. My aim of this article is to present the scope of the bulk of the research to date. This is no small endeavor, because at least 800 scientific studies have been published on this one amino acid, which has been studied with respect to its role in more than 150 diseases.

Arginine, or L-arginine, is one of 20 amino acids that you get from proteins in your diet. It’s typically considered a semi-essential amino acid. That means you can usually get enough of it from diet alone. If you eat a well-balanced diet, you probably don’t need to take arginine supplements. But if you have certain health conditions, your doctor may recommend adding them to your routine. In other cases, your doctor may encourage you to avoid them. For some people, taking arginine supplements may actually increase their risk of health problems. Sources Where can you get arginine? Arginine is found in several different food products, including:red meatpoultryfishdairyseedsnutsbeansleafy vegetablessome fruits For example, turkey, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, and soybeans are rich sources of arginine." }, { "docid": "D281756#0", "title": "http://thesupplementreviews.org/male-enhancement/l-arginine-benefits-erectile-dysfunction-and-side-effects/\nL-Arginine Benefits and Side Effects", "text": "0 Flares L-Arginine Benefits and Side Effects While there are many amino acids taken from proteins that are beneficial to health, one specifically stands among the others when it comes to sexual health. The amino acid in question that has been receiving a lot of attention is L-Arginine. L-Arginine has a growing list of potential benefits for maintaining a healthy heart, a healthy body, and a healthy libido. It has perhaps been most proven for its sexual health benefits, which is why it is commonly found in male enhancement supplements. If you’re looking to use L-Arginine primarily as a natural remedy for erectile dysfunction, click here to read our review of our favorite male enhancement supplement. L-Arginine Benefits L-Arginine benefits are often understated. I’m sure you’ve heard that it “could be good,” otherwise you wouldn’t be reading an L-Arginine review. However, L-Arginine is “definitely good” by every measurable standard that a nutritional supplement would have to measure up to. The human body requires amino acids in order to accomplish all the incredible feats that allow us to continue to survive, fueling the many different simultaneously occurring processes that keep our bodies going. L-Arginine has been shown to directly benefit your body’s ability to heal, your excretory system, your immune/endocrine system functions, and the flow of blood through your veins and arteries." }, { "docid": "D2070646#0", "title": "https://nootriment.com/l-arginine-food-sources/\nL-Arginine Food Sources & Dietary Intake Recommendations", "text": "Advertising Disclosure L-Arginine Food Sources & Dietary Intake Recommendations Posted By: Nootriment | 0 5 5If you want to raise your levels of the amino acid L-Arginine naturally, there are a number of foods that you should look to include in your diet. Arginine is an amino acid and it is a precursor to nitric oxide (NO). It helps reduce healing time of injuries, especially bone injuries (as it increases collagen). It also reduces the healing time for damaged tissue. It is popular as a bodybuilding supplement for weight lifting and increased muscle mass. It is also used as a sexual health supplement as it can support erectile function, libido and stamina. This supplement is normally obtained through diet from a number of healthy foods. But if injured from burns, broken bones and for wounds, eating more Arginine rich foods and supplements may be needed.

When determining how much L-arginine to use and when to take L-arginine, it is important to consider the reason for which it is being taken. According to Web MD, L-arginine in supplement form is known to provide a variety of benefits, especially for cardiovascular function and in the treatment of some cardiovascular diseases. Recommended dosages for oral L-arginine range from 400 mg to 6,000 mg per day, depending on the reason it is being supplemented. Dosages are typically split into two or three administrations per day. This compound is also used as a pre- or post-workout supplement. L-Arginine products can also be used in topical formulations to promote skin health or to improve sexual performance.

If it wasn’t important, your body wouldn’t naturally produce it. Oh, you didn’t know that? Yep its true. Creatine is simply a combination of 3 amino acids – arginine, glycine, and methionine. This threesome works to convert spent ATP (aka ADP) back into ATP to be used for muscle energy. In essence, creatine helps recycle energy. Quick note on water weight, the #1 fear people have in regards to creatine: Yes, creatine will increase your bodies overall water weight, but not dramatically. The first 1-2 pounds of weight gain can be attributed to water, the subsequent gains are do to increased muscle mass as creatine helps to BUILD MUSCLE.

Not just any pair of studio headphones will do, either. We’ve seen the headphone market become saturated with popular brands and their celebrity marketing, claiming to be ‘studio’, ‘professional’ or any other adjective you can think of that will get a person to buy a pair of their headphones. Those of us who are truly into music equipment know that when it comes to being an audiophile, the overall headphone type and design and various other features you need depends on what exactly you’re using the pair cans of for. Riding in the bus or using these at the gym isn’t really the main concern here, although you can technically use any pair of headphones for that. Today we review the best headphones specifically for mixing and mastering. As perhaps you’ve already read it, we have some of these models listed in our best studio headphones article. However, that post is a bit broad covering all types of headphones, so in this case we will be specifically speaking about mixing and mastering for complete sound accuracy. You need a certain type of build for even frequency distribution as opposed to perhaps total isolation (like a lot of popular studio headphones do) when it comes to recording.

The goal is to release compression in those areas which alleviates stress and pain. Cranial sacral therapy seeks to restore the natural position of the bones and can decrease stress from chronic injuries as well as provide relief from migraine headaches, neck and back pain, temporomandibular joint disorder (the inflammation of the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull) and more. According to the National Headache Foundation, approximately 28 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches. Often, migraines are triggered or exacerbated by stress and poor sleep. In a study published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine, researchers found that participants who received bodywork like Cranial Sacral Therapy had better quality sleep and fewer migraines than participants who didn't. Effects even lasted up to three weeks after therapy ended. Another way to address pain in the head is through scalp massage, which can be extremely relaxing. \"\" Many people don't realize we have muscles on our scalp,\"\" says Melissa Wheeler, a massage therapist and the teacher training coordinator for the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, California. \"\" Those muscles are responsible for making our facial expressions, and there can be a lot of tension there, especially when staring at a computer all day or when we are under a lot of stress.\"\"" } ]

In 1918 he moved to Detroit, Michigan to pursue a career in the automobile industry. After an explosion in the factory left him severely crippled, he discovered the osteopathy as a possible way to restore his health. He traveled to the Dearborn College of Osteopathy in Elgin, Illinois for treatment. Due to his limited financial resources De Jarnette decided to enroll in the college since there was no charge for students to receive treatments. After his graduation De Jarnette returned to Lincoln, Nebraska. However still suffering from serious back problems he met a chiropractor who convinced him to receive chiropractic care.

Even today, treatment of afflictions associated with these systems and especially health maintenance are remarkedly varied, as diverse as the numerous disciplines found throughout the world and their individual practitioners. For nearly 15 years I’ve been a chief proponent of the use of the Craniosacral System as another rhythm to help evaluate the proper functioning of the body … and to help solve problems of pain and dysfunction. I’ve been dedicated to teaching the therapeutic value of the Craniosacral System to all healthcare professionals, physicians and non-physicians, including massage therapists, physical therapies, occupational therapists, chiropractors, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and even dentists. If it seems odd that so many different practices can derive benefit from an understanding of this System, an explanation of how is functions may be helpful. The Craniosacral System is a physiological system that exists in humans as well as those animals possessing a brain and spinal cord. Its formation begins in the womb and continues to function until death. When there is an imbalance in your Craniosacral System, your brain and spinal cord suffer.

Within the cranial cavity, the brain is surrounded by meninges. The meninges consist of three layers of connective tissue membranes (dura, arachnoid, and pia mater). The arachnoid and pia are known as the leptomeninges (\"\"lepto\"\" means thin and fine in Greek). There are several differences in the meninges covering the brain and spinal cord, and, accordingly, they are discussed separately. The menin-ges consist of fibroblasts and collagen fibrils.

When a baby is unable to nurse or nurses so poorly that he causes pain to his mother, he presents a true challenge. A mother who experiences pain or who perceives that her baby is not breastfeeding effectively is a mother who is at risk of prematurely weaning this baby (Riordan and Auerbach 1999). After working through all of the usual avenues of information and resources that can help in this kind of situation, some Leaders have found a new therapy, called Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST), can be helpful. CST is a light-touch manual therapy used to encourage the body's self-correcting mechanisms. Generally using about five grams of pressure, or about the weight of a small coin, the practitioner evaluates the body's craniosacral system. This system plays a vital role in maintaining the environment in which the central nervous system functions." }, { "docid": "D56957#0", "title": "http://quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/cranial.html\nWhy Cranial Therapy Is Silly", "text": "\"Why Cranial Therapy Is Silly Stephen Barrett, M. D. Craniosacral therapy (CST) is one of many terms used to describe a various methods based on fanciful claims that: The human brain makes rhythmic movements at a rate of 10 to 14 cycles per minute, a periodicity unrelated to breathing or heart rate. Small cranial pulsations can be felt with the fingertips. Restriction of movement of the cranial sutures (where the skull bones meet) interfere with the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord) and cause disease. Diseases can be diagnosed by detecting aberrations in this rhythm. Pain (especially of the jaw joint) and many other ailments can be remedied by pressing on the skull bones. Most practitioners are osteopaths, massage therapists, chiropractors, dentists, or physical therapists. The other terms used to describe what they do include cranial osteopathy, cranial therapy, bio cranial therapy, and two chiropractic variants called craniopathy and sacro occipital technique (SOT). Dubious Claims Osteopaths attribute the origin of CST to osteopath William G. Sutherland (1873-1954), who published his first article on this subject in the early 1930s. From the mid-1970s onward, the leading proponent was John E. Upledger, D. O., who founded the Upledger Institute of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

In the absence of lachrymal and salivary glands in fish, cranial autonomic pathways generally occur only in cranial nerves III and X. Segmental paravertebral ganglia, or true sympathetic chains, are present in fish other than cyclostomes.

D. Osteopathic physicians (DOs) are the legal equivalents and, in most cases, are the professional equivalents of medical doctors (MDs). However, before deciding whether to use the services of a DO it is useful to understand osteopathy's history and the practical significance of its philosophy. Cultist Roots Andrew Taylor Still (1828-1917) originally expressed the principles of osteopathy in 1874, when medical science was in its infancy. He is commonly said to have had an MD degree, but Martin Gardner, one of the 20th century's leading science writers, concluded that \"\"there is no evidence Still had any medical training other than helping his father, a Methodist missionary, take care of Shawnee indians.\"\" [ 1]Still claimed that diseases were caused by mechanical interference with nerve and blood supply and were curable by manipulation of \"\"deranged, displaced bones, nerves, muscles—removing all obstructions—thereby setting the machinery of life moving.\"\" His autobiography states that he caused a bald-headed man to grow hair three inches long in one week and that he could \"\"shake a child and stop scarlet fever, croup, diphtheria, and cure whooping cough in three days by a wring of its neck.\"\" [ 2] He was antagonistic toward the drug practices of his day and regarded surgery as a last resort. Rejected as a cultist by organized medicine, he founded the first osteopathic medical school in Kirksville, Missouri, in 1892. As medical science developed, osteopathy gradually incorporated all of its theories and practices [3] and achieved licensure in all 50 states. In 1901, California became the first state to license DOs; in 1989, Nebraska became the last." }, { "docid": "D1628496#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/6069648/chapter-7-the-skeleton-flash-cards/\nChapter 7: The skeleton", "text": "\"88 terms packgirl85Chapter 7: The skeleton Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

A stationary bike is a low-impact option that's easy on your joints. Types of Bikes Not all stationary bikes are alike. There are two main types, an upright bike and a recumbent bike: The first option, an upright bike, is like a regular bicycle (your legs extend below your torso and your back is not supported), only stationary. Recumbent bikes offer a more relaxed, supported sitting position. Like a chair, they have seat backs to support your back, and instead of pedaling below, your legs usually extend in front of you. The Set-Up Proper bike set-up will give you an effective workout and reduce your risk of injury. Adjusting a bike to fit you usually involves three to four variables: Seat height: On an upright bike, start by adjusting your seat to about the height of your hip. Have a seat, placing your feet on/into the pedals.

Usually caused by repetitive movements (like exercise or sitting in the same position for many hours), injuries or built-up inflammation over time, tendonitis can cause a lot of pain. People who are over 40 years old tend to get tendonitis more than younger people, but really anyone can development symptoms depending on how damaged versus elastic tendons become. It’s true that as we age, our ligaments, bones and tendons slowly weaken with everyday wear and tear, so we’re more likely to experience things like muscle or joint pain. Tendonitis comes down to experiencing inflamed tendons that are more susceptible to stress, strain, movement and tears. Despite what most people assume, this can affect people of all ages, sizes and physical activity levels, not just serious athletes or the elderly. Tendonitis is treated in different ways depending on where it’s located on the body, how long it’s been present and the person’s physical activity level. If you visit an orthopedic or doctor to help treat your tendonitis, he or she might prescribe a treatment plan involving getting plenty of rest, taking time off from exercise, using ice/heat packs, attending physical therapy, or taking pain-killing and anti-inflammatory medications. Most of the time drastic measures like having surgery performed or getting ongoing injections isn’t needed, but in the case where a tendon ruptures, these can be used to manage the situation quickly.

The great thing about varying your jump rope training to include shorter, high-intensity interval sets (especially with a weighted rope) is that you are getting much higher muscle activation and recruiting more muscle fibers for both upper and lower body. This will actually help you build muscle over time, which can make your body more efficient at burning calories.

Increasing muscle strength is a frequently cited reason for starting an exercise program; however, not all strength training is the same and achieving a specific strength-training goal requires following the right type of workout program. For example, training for maximum strength requires heavy weights for limited repetitions, while improving explosive strength requires moving light-to-moderate weights as fast as possible. Strength training is the functional application of Newton's second law of physics, which defines force as the product of a mass and its acceleration (Force = MA). Generally speaking, strength is the ability to accelerate a mass from a state of rest, which results in the production of muscular force. From a physiological perspective, strength is the ability to activate muscle motor neurons and their attached muscle fibers (together called a motor unit) to generate the force necessary to achieve a specific outcome. To achieve a strength-based goal, it is important to first define the specific type of strength required for success and then design an exercise program to develop that strength. The magnitude and rate of force production are determined by the efficiency at which all of the involved muscle motor units are recruited. Both intramuscular coordination (the ability to recruit all of the motor units within a specific muscle) and intermuscular coordination (the ability to have a number of different muscles working together to generate a force) are required to achieve optimal levels of strength. The prerequisite for any strength-training program is the structural integrity of the musculoskeletal system to control stability of the stable joints, while allowing the mobile joints to move through unrestricted, multiplanar motion." }, { "docid": "D2128217#0", "title": "http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/08/02/10-ways-to-burn-100-calories-in-10-minutes.html\n10 ways to burn 100 calories in 10 minutes", "text": "\"Mind and Body10 ways to burn 100 calories in 10 minutes Published August 02, 2013Facebook Twitter Email (i Stock)Got 600 seconds?

Most importantly, Democrats should remember that 33% of Bernie Sanders voters will refuse to vote for Clinton in November, if she becomes nominee. As stated by The Wall Street Journal, there are a great many Bernie Sanders supporters like H. A. Goodman: A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll indicates one third of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ supporters cannot see themselves voting for Hillary Clinton in November.

Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., today will announce he’s running for president. Sanders, known as a populist liberal and a self-described socialist, will run as a Democrat. He’s hoping to raise $50 million for his bid, Bloomberg reports — almost certainly far less than Democratic rival Hillary Clinton is expecting to pull in. But it’s still sizable sum for a U. S. senator from a small state who has traditionally leaned heavily on small-dollar donors. Here’s more on Sanders’ financial history: Don't miss another investigation Sign up for the Center for Public Integrity's Watchdog email and get the news you want from the Center when you want it. Since 2009, Sen. Bernie Sanders has raised about $7.6 million for his campaign committee. Most of it — more than 60 percent — came from small-dollar donors who gave $200 or less.

Senate after winning re-election in 2012 with 71 percent of the vote. Sanders previously served as mayor of Vermont’s largest city for eight years before defeating an incumbent Republican to be the sole congressperson for the state in the U. S. House of Representatives. He lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife Jane and has four children and seven grandchildren. Bernard “Bernie” Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York, to immigrant parents and grew up in a small, rent-controlled apartment. His father came to the United States from Poland at the age of 17 without much money or a formal education. While attending the University of Chicago, a 20-year-old Sanders led students in a multi-week sit-in to oppose segregation in off-campus housing owned by the university as a Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) officer. In August of 1963, Sanders took an overnight bus as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech firsthand at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. After graduation, Bernie moved to Vermont where he worked as a carpenter and documentary filmmaker." }, { "docid": "D2248127#0", "title": "http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/09/politics/spike-lee-produces-new-ad-for-bernie-sanders/index.html\nSpike Lee produces new ad for Bernie Sanders", "text": "\"Spike Lee produces new ad for Bernie Sanders By Elizabeth Landers, CNNUpdated 7:22 PM ET, Sat April 9, 2016JUST WATCHEDProjection: Sen.

Sanders, who is running for president as a Democrat, announced on Wednesday that he has retained the services of the firm Revolution Messaging to run digital ads and online fundraising. The staffers with the firm who will be working on Sanders’ campaign include Revolution Messaging’s founder, Scott Goodstein, who ran the 2008 Obama campaign’s social media and mobile programs; Arun Chaudhary, who was the first official White House videographer; Shauna Daly, who served as deputy research director on Obama’s 2008 campaign; and Walker Hamilton, who was a lead programmer for that campaign. “Like a lot of Obama supporters, we were looking for a candidate with a track record of doing the right thing — even if it meant taking on Wall Street billionaires and other powerful interests. A candidate who could inspire a movement,” said Goodstein. “ Bernie Sanders is that candidate.” Due to his long-standing criticism of the influence of big-money interests on government, Sanders has strong online and grassroots appeal, which he hopes to leverage to raise the money needed to fund a presidential campaign.

A 19th-century illustration of a young girl wearing a camisole; prior to c. 1950, this was typical wear for pre-pubescent girls A training bra (also trainer bra, starter bra, first bra or bralette) is a lightweight brassiere designed for girls who have begun to develop breasts during puberty when the girl's breasts are not yet large enough to fit a standard-sized bra. Breast growth is usually defined by the Tanner scale. Girls who are developing breasts are at Tanner stage I and II. Training bras are usually a lightweight, unlined, pullover style bra and feature a soft, elastic bra band and soft bra cups. Prior to the marketing of training bras, a pre-teen or young teen girl in Western countries usually wore a one-piece \"\"waist\"\" or camisole without cups or darts.

New research has found that a faulty gene, rather than feeble willpower, could be responsible for binge-eating. Binge-eaters frequently and compulsively stuff themselves with food, often in secret, and tend to feel ashamed afterwards. They are usually, but not always, overweight. Traditionally, eating behaviour has always been seen as a product of complex cultural causes. But scientists in Switzerland say a particular gene that stimulates the hunger 'centre' in the brain, has a central role to play. The gene, known as the melanocortin 4 receptor, makes a protein that triggers your appetite in a certain area of the brain. It has previously been linked to obesity in earlier studies. But if this gene mutates and produces too little protein, the body feels constantly hungry, prompting binge-eating. Researchers from the Hirslanden Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, studied 469 adults with obesity." }, { "docid": "D2419029#0", "title": "https://en.mediamass.net/people/melissa-rauch/pregnancy-rumors.html\nMelissa Rauch Pregnant?", "text": "Melissa Rauch Pregnant?

The groundbreaking crossover — timed for the November sweep — centers on a child pornography ring that brings the cops, firefighters and district attorneys of three Dick Wolf procedurals together. It kicks off Tuesday night on “Chicago Fire” and continues Wednesday with “Law & Order: SVU” and “Chicago P. D.”“It invariably raises interest in all of the shows,” “Fire” and “P. D.” Executive Producer Matt Olmstead told The Wrap. Olmstead also mentioned he couldn’t recall ever seeing a three-show crossover before. Also read: Big Screen to Small Screen: 27 Movies Being Made Into TV Shows (Photos)On “Chicago Fire,” the firefighters discover the child porn stash during a response to a blaze. “ P. D.’s” Erin Lindsay ( Sophia Bush) is even more shocked when she discovers one of the young victims is her somewhat estranged half-brother. Insisting on playing a role in the case, Lindsay follows the path to New York City, where she and the “SVU” team are able to reconstruct the ring from there — but they all must go back to Chicago to find the kingpin and bring the perp to justice.

Forbes estimates that Jordan's equity as owner of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets is $416million and his net worth outside of the team to be $600million. It reported Jordan now owns 89.5 per cent of the Hornets, which marks an additional stake in the team since he previously owned just 80 per cent. Jordan's spokeswoman, Estee Portnoy, confirmed that Jordan purchased an additional stake in the Hornets in January 2013, but wouldn't say how much. Portnoy had no comment on whether or not Jordan is a billionaire. A six-time NBA champion with Chicago Bulls, Jordan earned fame and fortune on the basketball court, as well as through endorsements and movies. The 51-year-old became the majority owner of the Hornets (formerly the Bobcats) in 2010 when he bought out Bob Johnson's share of the team for $175million. It is that team, and not the various athletic gear or his infrequent film projects that have launched him into the realm of the extremely wealthy. A recent evaluation of the team predicted that the Hornets are worth $410million, but Forbes states that number may be low-balling it a bit considering the Milwaukee Bucks, long considered the least valuable team in the NBA, sold for $550million last month.+2Ulitmate slam dunk: Jordan made a name for himself on the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s Forbes' experts pits the Hornets' true value at somewhere between $600million and $625million, and once the money he has spent on the team is subtracted out from his portion of that estimate then coupled with his unrelated earnings of $600million, the total would put him just slightly above the billion-dollar mark.

Goyer Portrayed by Heath Ledger The Joker is a fictional character who appears as the main antagonist in Christopher Nolan 's 2008 superhero film The Dark Knight. Based upon the DC Comics character of the same name, he was played by Australian actor Heath Ledger. A psychopathic mass murderer with a sadistic sense of humor, the Joker's arc follows his attempt to undermine the efforts of Batman ( Christian Bale ), James Gordon ( Gary Oldman ), and Harvey Dent ( Aaron Eckhart) to rid Gotham City of crime. The character embodies themes of chaos, anarchy and obsession: throughout the film, he expresses a desire to upset social order through crime, and defines himself by his conflict with Batman. Ledger's interpretation of the character is specifically influenced by the graphic novels Batman: The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. In the film, he wears the character's traditional color palette, while his facial appearance includes clown makeup that covers facial scars of a Glasgow smile. The character also explores techniques found in Ledger's previous performances, including his clown act in Terry Gilliam 's fantasy film The Brothers Grimm. Further, it references paintings by artist Francis Bacon, Anthony Burgess ' novel A Clockwork Orange and various punk rock musicians. Ledger's casting as the Joker was initially controversial, who seemed an unlikely choice for the role.

A stained histologic specimen, sandwiched between a glass microscope slide and coverslip, mounted on the stage of a light microscope. Staining is an auxiliary technique used in microscopy to enhance contrast in the microscopic image. Stains and dyes are frequently used in biology and medicine to highlight structures in biological tissues for viewing, often with the aid of different microscopes. Stains may be used to define and examine bulk tissues (highlighting, for example, muscle fibers or connective tissue ), cell populations (classifying different blood cells, for instance), or organelles within individual cells. In biochemistry it involves adding a class-specific ( DNA, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) dye to a substrate to qualify or quantify the presence of a specific compound. Staining and fluorescent tagging can serve similar purposes. Biological staining is also used to mark cells in flow cytometry, and to flag proteins or nucleic acids in gel electrophoresis. Simple staining is staining with only one stain/dye. There are various kinds of multiple staining, many of which are examples of counterstaining, differential staining, or both, including double staining and triple staining." }, { "docid": "D1478787#0", "title": "http://www.elearn.ascp.org/AngelUploads/Content/LQPB1302/_assoc/PB_13-02.html\nLearning Objectives", "text": "\"Learning Objectives On completion of this exercise, the participant should be able todescribe 2 causes of thrombocytopenia.differentiate thrombocytopenia from pseudothrombocytopenia.explain how preanalytic variables can affect hematologic specimens.choose an appropriate anticoagulant for hematologic testing.describe 3 strategies to prevent reporting of inaccurate platelet counts by the clinical laboratory scientist. History A 45-year-old woman was referred to a hematopathologist after an incidental finding of thrombocytopenia on routine blood testing. Initial laboratory findings were as follows: white blood cell count, 7900/µL (reference range, 4500-11,000/µL; to convert to ×10 9 /L, multiply by 0.001); hemoglobin, 12.1 g/d L (reference range, 12.0-16.0 g/d L; to convert to g/L, multiply by 10.0); and platelet count, 15 ×10 3 /µL (reference range 150-400 ×10 3 /µL; to convert to 10 9 /L, multiply by 1.0). The patient had no history of recent infection, weight loss, or drug use. The patient had no chief complaints or family history of bleeding disorders, and during physical examination, no evidence of bruising or bleeding was noted. Because of the low platelet count, obtained at a different clinical laboratory, additional blood was drawn at the hospital laboratory, and the complete blood cell count was ordered by the hematopathologist. The platelet count on the automated hematology instrument was 20 ×10 3 /µL; however, a flag alerted the technologist to platelet clumps. She reviewed the peripheral blood smear and noted clusters of platelet clumps. The technologist suspected that a preanalytic error may have caused the patient's platelets to clump. The phlebotomist reported that there were no problems during the phlebotomy procedure and that the specimen tube had been mixed correctly." }, { "docid": "D554292#0", "title": "https://courseapproval.asu.edu/content/principles-biomedical-sciences\nPrinciples of the Biomedical Sciences", "text": "Home ›Principles of the Biomedical Sciences Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 10/06/2014 - 14:20Course Prefix: SC210Pre-requisite: Application and Approval.

Platelet Count Definition A platelet count is a diagnostic test that determines the number of platelets in the patient'sblood. Platelets, which are also called thrombocytes, are small disk-shaped blood cellsproduced in the bone marrow and involved in the process of blood clotting. There are normallybetween 150,000-450,000 platelets in each microliter of blood. Low platelet counts or abnormallyshaped platelets are associated with bleeding disorders. High platelet counts sometimesindicate disorders of the bone marrow. Purpose The primary functions of a platelet count are to assist in the diagnosis of bleeding disorders and to monitor patients who are being treated for any disease involving bone marrow failure. Patientswho have leukemia, polycythemia vera, or aplastic anemia are given periodic platelet counttests to monitor their health. Description Blood collection and storage Platelet counts use a freshly-collected blood specimen to which a chemical called EDTA hasbeen added to prevent clotting before the test begins.

Learning Objectives Differentiate among the hemostasis disorders of Von Willebran disease, hemophilia, and factor V Leiden thrombophilia Key Takeaways Key Points Von Willebrand disease is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. People with type 1 and type 2 von Willebrand disease may have mild-to-moderate bleeding symptoms, while those with type 3 can have severe bleeding episodes. Hemophilia is a disease where there is a low level of, or are no, blood proteins important for clotting, causing an inability to produce blood clots. There are two types: Type A, which is a deficiency in factor VIII, and Type B, also known as Christmas disease, which is a deficiency in factor IX. The opposite of hemophilia is Factor V Leiden thrombophilia, a disorder of human factor V blood protein that causes a hypercoagulability disorder or overactive clotting resulting in dangerous blood clots. In sickle- cell disease, red blood cells undergo a change in shape upon deoxygenation because of polymerization of the abnormal sickle hemoglobin. Polycythemia is a condition in which there is a net increase in the total circulating erythrocyte (red blood cell). Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by an abnormal proliferation of blood cells, usually white blood cells (leukocytes). Key Terms Hemophilia: A group of hereditary genetic disorders that impair the body’s ability to control blood clotting or coagulation, which is used to stop bleeding when a blood vessel is broken.coagulation: The process by which blood forms solid clots.thrombophilia: The tendency to develop thrombosis (blood clots) due to an abnormality in the system of coagulation." }, { "docid": "D1342972#0", "title": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002561961265469X\nA Histologic and Cytologic Method for the Spatial Definition of Gliomas", "text": "Mayo Clinic Proceedings Volume 62, Issue 6, June 1987, Pages 435-449A Histologic and Cytologic Method for the Spatial Definition of Gliomas CATHERINE DAUMAS-DUPORT M.

Traditional histologic criteria were not established for detecting isolated tumor cells located at the boundaries of gliomas. Standard histologic techniques used for processing surgical specimens result in preparations of insufficient quality to allow the detection of minimal tumor infiltrates within normal brain parenchyma. Consequently, histologic examination has been considered an unreliable method of determining the boundaries of gliomas. In this study, we describe in detail an improved technique of biopsy specimen preparation that involves the use of glutaraldehyde-fixed and hemalum-phloxine-stained paraffin sections as well as alcohol-fixed and hemalum-phloxine-stained smears. In concert, these methods allow visualization of delicate cytologic details and are complementary in assessing the presence of isolated tumor cells at the periphery of gliomas. We define morphologic criteria for the accurate identification of isolated neoplastic cells and for their distinction from normal or reactive glial elements. These morphologic criteria include classic cytologic features of malignant lesions (such as nuclear pleomorphism and hyperchromasia) as well as the assessment of tumor architecture and cellular spatial relationships. Previous article Next article Historically, before the development of stereotactic methods for the treatment of glial neoplasms, no great demand existed for the precise determination of tumor boundaries. Removal or decompression of gliomas by traditional craniotomy was largely an exercise in eye-hand coordination." }, { "docid": "D29763#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/353411/medical-terminology-chapter-13-flash-cards/\nMedical Terminology - Chapter 13", "text": "114 terms tab11576Medical Terminology - Chapter 13Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Macrocytosis is reported in terms of mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Normal MCV values range from 80 to 100 femtoliters (fl) and vary by age and reference laboratory. 1 MCV is calculated according to the following formula: Macrocytosis can be identified by reviewing peripheral blood smears and/or by automated RBC indices. The peripheral blood smear is more sensitive than RBC indices for identifying early macrocytic changes because the MCV represents the mean of the distribution curve and is insensitive to the presence of small numbers of macrocytes. 2 However, compared to the peripheral blood smear, MCV may underestimate macrocytosis in over 30% of cases. 3Although determination of the MCV by automated blood cell counter is rarely inaccurate, hyperglycemia, marked leukocytosis and cold agglutinins may result in false elevations of the MCV." }, { "docid": "D180842#0", "title": "https://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/blood-smear/tab/sample\nBlood Smear", "text": "At a Glance Why Get Tested?

Sexual and Reproductive Development Human beings are sexual throughout life. Sexuality encompasses more than sexual behavior - it is not only the physical, but the mental and spiritual as well. Sexuality is a core component of personality and a fundamental part of human life. While the problems usually associated with sexual behavior are real and need to be addressed, human sexuality also has significant meaning and value in each individual's life. Reproductive Biology Reproductive physical maturity and the capacity for human reproduction begin during puberty, a period of rapid growth and change experienced by both males and females. Puberty is not an isolated event, but a process which takes place over several years. During puberty, the hypothalamus (a gland located at the base of the brain which regulates temperature, sleep, emotions, sexual function and behavior) produces hormones (chemicals that originate in a gland or organ and travel through the blood to another organ, stimulating it by chemical action to increase functional activity and secretions). These hormones stimulate the gonads, the reproductive glands (the testes in males and the ovaries in females) to produce testosterone (males) and estrogen and progesterone (females). Male puberty generally occurs between the ages of 13-15 and is characterized by the secretion of the male hormone testosterone, which stimulates spermatogenesis (sperm production), and the development of secondary sexual characteristics (increased height and weight, broadening shoulders, growth of the testes and penis, pubic and facial hair growth, voice deepening, and muscle development)." } ]

Wesson founded the Smith & Wesson Company in Norwich, Connecticut in 1852 to develop the Volcanic rifle. Smith developed a new Volcanic Cartridge, which he patented in 1854. The Smith & Wesson Company was renamed Volcanic Repeating Arms in 1855, and was purchased by Oliver Winchester. Smith left the company and returned to his native Springfield, Massachusetts, while Wesson stayed on as plant manager with Volcanic Repeating Arms. [ 5]As Samuel Colt 's patent on the revolver was set to expire in 1856, Wesson began developing a prototype for a cartridge revolver." }, { "docid": "D1794850#0", "title": "https://www.eaglegunrangetx.com/review-springfield-armory-xd-s-9mm/\nReview: Springfield Armory XD-S 9mm", "text": "Review: Springfield Armory XD-S 9mmby Andy Rutledge | Aug 7, 2015 | Blog |The Springfield Armory XD-S is a pistol that I waited for with great anticipation before its release. The photos and specs made it seem like an almost perfect carry pistol. Then shortly after release they largely disappeared from store shelves due to a voluntary recall in 2013. When the upgraded versions were available and after shooting an XD-S rental pistol, my suspicions about its quality and feel were confirmed. So I added one to my collection and for specific reason: deeper concealment. By Andy Rutledge* * *The XD-S comes in both 9mm and .45ACP calibers and in 3.3″ and 4.0″ barrel versions. This review will deal specifically with the 3.3″ version chambered in 9mm. Why Consider The Springfield XD-S 9mm? The XD-S 3.3″ 9mm belongs to a specific category of carry pistols and is not meant to compete with or replace compact double-stack 9mm pistols like the Glock 19 or a Sig P250. Rather, the XD-S is made for when a thin, single-stack subcompact ( read: more-concealable) pistol is appropriate, but without giving up the 9mm chambering —or— when you want to own only one carry gun that will work in just about any carry context." }, { "docid": "D2289614#0", "title": "http://www.gunbroker.com/Gun-Parts/BI.aspx\nAdvancedSign In RegisterBrowse CategoriesBuy Sell Deals Video Help", "text": "\"All > Gun Parts Show Category Information Gun Parts For Sale Narrow Your Search Has Pictures No Reserve Has Quick Look Factory New New Old Stock Used Ship International Big Ticket Hot Items Immediate Checkout Save this Search | Tips Per Page You Searched For Categories [remove]Gun Parts Narrow Your Search Subcategories Other Gun Accessories & Parts (93038)Gun Holsters & Gun Leather (74693)Scope Accessories & Scope Parts (45240)Pistol Magazines & Pistol Clips (40337)AR15 Parts (34938)Gun Scopes (27919)Rifle Magazines & Rifle Clips (20970)Gun Cleaning Kits & Gun Cleaning Supplies (20616)Pistol Grips (19762)Gun Sights (19349)Rifle Stocks (16364)Gun Cases & Gun Storage (13978)Small Rifle Parts (11899)Other Rifle Accessories & Parts (11706)Other Shotgun Accessories & Parts (10540)Shotgun Chokes (8361)Small Pistol Parts (8073)Gunsmithing Tools & Gunsmith Supplies (7267)Shooting Glasses & Hearing Protection (5665)AK47 Parts (5505)See more All Items Auctions Buy Now!Displaying the first 10000 items that match your criteria.

June 9, 20080Tweet Share Using a smaller off duty weapon with the same features and functions as the larger duty weapon is ideal if the duty weapon can't be carried off duty. Shown as an example is the Glock 19 9mm over the Glock 26 9mm. Frank Borelli I'm often asked for recommendations for a concealed carry handgun. Because much of my response also applies to selecting an off duty carry gun, I thought that I would address it here this month. There are two differences, however, that apply to police officers. The first is that you should give serious consideration to carrying your regular duty weapon. Many officers discover that when they get their duty gun out of the bulky duty holster and think seriously about carrying it concealed, it is not as difficult as they first imagine. The advantages of doing this are that:it is a gun you already haveit is the same one you train with regularlyyou can use the same ammunition that you use on duty There is a lot to be said for being familiar with the basic operation and controls and the performance you should expect from the gun and ammo combination. Second, it should not cost you any extra money." }, { "docid": "D2126361#0", "title": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=united+states+plates\n735,072 results for united states plates", "text": "\"Items in search results COMPLETE SET 50 UNITED STATES License Plates - ALL 50 USA States + BONUS Plate!Pre-Owned$199.97Buy It Now+$19.95 shipping Only 1 left!396 Sold Complete Set of 50 UNITED STATES License Plates - Low Grade Pre-Owned$150.00Buy It Now+$19.95 shipping Only 1 left!15 Watching License Plate Map of the United States Art Print Poster 36x24Brand New$6.99Buy It Now Free Shipping2 new & refurbished from $6.99Retro United States Car License Plates Sign Metal Home Bar Auto Tags Decorations Brand New$6.60Buy It Now Free Shipping From China UNITED STATES, SCOTT # 1735, PLATE BLOCK OF RATE A ORANGE EAGLE, MINT NEVER HING$1.05Buy It Now+$0.50 shipping Mint NH United States Plate Blocks Scott #3261-62 FV $59.80$52.99Buy It Now+$3.00 shipping Only 1 left!1 Watching UNITED STATES Vintage Car License Plate Bar Room Home Decor Tags Collectible Brand New$6.99Buy It Now Free Shipping6+ Watching From China KNS Pins Anti-Walk Pins Non-Rotating Gen ST BLACK Spike's Side Plates .154 Pin Brand New$30.77Buy It Now Free Shipping208 Sold FAST 'N FREEEstimated Delivery Thu, Mar. 8STRIKE INDUSTRIES GEN 2 Anti Walk Rotation Trigger Hammer Pins Black Nitride AUTHENTIC & AUTORIZED DEALER - GEN 2 - BEWARE OF FAKESBrand New$15.92Buy It Now Free Shipping190 Sold FAST 'N FREEEstimated Delivery Fri, Mar. 9For Glock Front Sight Tool + Armorers Takedown Disassembly Punch + Mag Plate Includes our Magazine Base Plate Removal Tool Brand New38 product ratings$24.95Buy It Now Free Shipping1372 Sold Custom Engraved Plate BRASS 2\"\"x4\"\" Name Plate Plaque Art Label Tag Gift Trophy BUY 3 GET 1 FREE!!

If he becomes an FFDO (Federal Flight Deck Officer) does that count as a California CCW as well, like the state police recieve in California? Dr Rockso 12-20-2011, 5:15 PMI'm fairly sure that FFDOs are not covered under LEOSA since they don't have statutory powers of arrest.edlegault 12-20-2011, 5:33 PMI don't think so. I think their firearms must be unloaded and loaded at the flight deck (stupid). Seems like there was a pilot arrested for having a loaded firearm off the flight deck or there was a discharge on the flight deck or something and this subject came up before. Ubermcoupe 12-20-2011, 5:34 PMDont think so: FFDOs are considered Federal law enforcement officers only for the limited purposes of carrying firearms and using force, including lethal force, to defend the flight deck of an aircraft from air piracy or criminal violence. FFDOs are not granted or authorized to exercise other law enforcement powers such as the power to make arrests, or seek or execute warrants for arrest, or seizure of evidence, or to otherwise act as Federal law enforcement outside the jurisdiction of aircraft flight decks." }, { "docid": "D5568#0", "title": "http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/08/robert-farago/are-wilson-combat-1911s-worth-4000/\nAre Wilson Combat 1911s Worth $4000?", "text": "Are Wilson Combat 1911s Worth $4000?by Robert Farago |Aug 30, 2011 |45 commentsfacebook twitter linkedin email When TTAG announced the arrival of the new Wilson Combat X-TAC Compact, more than a few members of our Armed Intelligentsia wondered why in the world anyone would pay $2680 for a pistol. ( And that, 1911 fans, is a non-customized “entry level” model.) Sid put it succinctly: “The price! My God! The price!” So I asked John May to justify the cost of his employer’s 1911s. Billy Boy’s marketing maven sent the following bullet points explaining “why Wilson Combat Pistols are more highly valued than other makers pistols”:1. All of our pistols are hand built, one at a time from the best components. Wilson Combat has more collective experience than any other custom builder. Calling on that experience and the world’s best components gives you the best final products.2." }, { "docid": "D667834#0", "title": "http://inthesetimes.com/article/15972/permatemps_in_manufacturing\nForever Temp?", "text": "\"On November 14, 2013, members of the Chicago Workers Collaborative stage an action about wage theft in the temp. industry.

BY Sarah Jaffe Share Tweet Reddit Stumble Upon Email Print Despite the many drawbacks of a temp job, anemic job growth during the economic recovery has meant that many blue-collar workers have few options beyond putting in their time as a temp in the hope that they’ll get hired full-time one day. Betty Mc Cray, 53, has moved around a bit in her lifetime. She’s worked as a chef, a nursing home attendant and a welder. Throughout, she says proudly, she has “worked union,” even in states with anti-labor right-to-work laws, such as Tennessee, where she moved in 2010 to be closer to her son. That changed in 2011, when she found work at a Nissan auto plant in Smyrna, Tenn., preparing parts for the assembly line. Not only is this job non-union, but Mc Cray doesn’t technically work for Nissan—she’s employed through Yates Services, a temporary staffing agency." }, { "docid": "D2395891#0", "title": "http://alltoptens.com/top-ten-9mm-pistols-of-2014/\nTop Ten Best 9mm Pistols in the world", "text": "Top Ten Best 9mm Pistols in the world Facts, Science & Technology 22 Comments Facebook Twitter Google + Stumbleupon Linked In Pinterest Related Articles Top 10 Rubik’s Cube Facts to blow your mind Top 10 Largest Earthquakes in Recorded History Top Ten Countries with Largest Coal Reserves If you’re passionate about Pistols/Handguns then we have something amazing for you.

It can also be used to convert the 22C to shoot as a non-compensated. Converting the 31 or 31C to shoot .40 s&w is also possible. Using it to convert the 17 to shoot .40 s&w is not safe as it will not fit into the slide properly. Calibers can only be converted down, not up. This barrel will not work extended in the 23 or 32 due to the difference in the locking blocks. Barrel Info: Caliber: .40 s&w Height: 1.26 inches Length: 4.49 inches Rifling: right hand, hexagonal Length of Twist: 9.84 inches Travels at: ~ 985 feet per second Using reloaded or lead ammunition in Glock barrels is NOT recommended!Product Reviews Click here to review this item WOW! Great Factory Replacement Barrel I have thought about getting a .40 barrel for my 2nd Gen G31 in 357 Sig for years. I was always concerned that it would not shoot to the same point of aim and I would have to get adjustable sights. I finally broke down a purchased one a week or so ago from Glockmeister." }, { "docid": "D2786966#0", "title": "http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=beretta+32\n1,570 results for beretta 32", "text": "\"Items in search results BERETTA 3032 TOMCAT .32 ACP 7 Round MAGAZINE JM32 Factory NEW *FAST SHIP*! !

When asked if the pistol would be in “sellable” condition after the tests, we politely responded in the negative. We were going to break the Hi Point and chronicle the punishment it took along the way. Hi-Point got the point and signed-up for our torture test. Then, time went by . . .

Johnnie Walker openend many countries to Scotch whisky: Keep walking. John Walker, born at Kilmarnock in 1805, was a shopkeeper at Kilmarnock, in Ayrshire, Scotland. He founded his grocery in 1819 with only fourteen years. John Walker managed to sell almost everything, even his own whisky, under the Walker�s Kilmarnock Whisky, which was surely a single or blended malt, as blended whisky was forbidden up to 1860. In 1843, with the arrival of the railway at Kilmarnock, John and his son Alexander realize the potential of the train for their enterprise. In 1860 they decide to use squared bottles, that remains an icon of the mark, together with the slanted johnnie walker label, that is inclined 24 degrees. Having squared bottles was good because they stock in less space and there were less broken bottles. Five years later, Alexander Walker create their first blend. Each type of blend: Old Highland Whisky, Special Old Highland Whisky and Extra Special Old Highland Whisky, had its label of a different color." } ]

The bone marrow is one of two primary lymphoid organs, along with the thymus. Bone marrow is a sponge-like tissue found at the center of the body's large, flat bones. The Job of the Bone Marrow Bone marrow is where B-cells are selected, developed and matured in a process called hematopoiesis. Two types of stem cells are made in the bone marrow: stromal cells, which make fat, cartilage and bone, and hematopoietic stem cells, which make blood cells. Furthermore, two types of marrow are found in bone marrow: red marrow, where blood cells and platelets come from, and yellow marrow, which has a high amount of fat cells and makes some white blood cells. Like we saw in the thymus, at birth there is almost exclusively red marrow, but as we age, more of the red marrow converts into the yellow marrow, with the high fat content. Bone Marrow in Lymphoma Because the bone marrow is where hemopoietic stem cells are made, it plays a very important role in lymphoma. When you consider how important the job of the bone marrow is — creating the cells that will become the blood cells that carry oxygen through the body and remove carbon dioxide from tissue, defending the body against infection and disease, and helping the process of clotting so that we don't bleed to death with a simple cut — you can begin to see how devastating any bone marrow disease can be. After all, blood cells have a short life span; they are always being replaced, and this production process is of crucial importance in maintaining not just good health, but life itself." } ]

The primary lymphoid organs in mammals are the thymus and bone marrow, where lymphocyte differentiation occurs.• Phagocytic cells are found in the circulation as monocytes and granulocytes. Monocytes differentiate into macrophages that reside in tissues (e.g. Kupffer cells in the liver). Neutrophils are short-lived phagocytes present in high numbers in the blood and at sites of acute inflammation.• Eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, and platelets, together with cytokines and complement, take part in the inflammatory response.• NK cells recognize and kill virus-infected cells and certain tumor cells by inducing apoptosis.• Antigen-presenting cells link the innate and adaptive immune systems and are required by T cells to enable them to respond to antigens.• Lymphocytes are heterogeneous phenotypically, functionally, and morphologically.• B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes express specific antigen receptors called the B cell receptor (BCR) and T cell receptor (TCR) respectively.• There are three major subpopulations of T cells which have helper, cytotoxic and regulatory activities (T H, T C and Treg).• B cells can differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma cells and memory cells.• T cells developing in the thymus are subject to positive and negative selection processes.• Mammalian B cells develop mainly in the fetal liver and from birth onwards in the bone marrow. This process continues throughout life. B cells also undergo a negative selection process at the site of B cell generation.• Lymphocytes migrate to, and function in, the secondary lymphoid organs and tissues.• Secondary lymphoid organs and tissue protect different body sites – the spleen responds to blood borne organisms; the lymph nodes respond to lymph-borne antigens; and the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue ( MALT) protects the mucosal surfaces.• Most lymphocytes recirculate around the body; there is continuous lymphocyte traffic from the blood stream into lymphoid tissues and back again into the blood via the thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct. Cells of the immune system There is great heterogeneity in the cells of the immune system, most of which originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the fetal liver and in the postnatal bone marrow – mainly in the vertebrae, sternum, ribs, femur and tibia (Fig. 2.1 ). This morphological heterogeneity reflects the fact that cells of the immune system are called on to provide a wide variety of functions including:• phagocytosis;• antigen presentation;• lysis of virus-infected cells; and• secretion of specific antibodies.

To understand the power of the immune system, all that you have have to do is look at what happens to anything once it dies. That sounds gross, but it does show you something very important about your immune system. When something dies its immune system (along with everything else) shuts down. In a matter of hours the body is invaded by all sorts of bacteria, microbes, parasites... None of these things are able to get in when your immune system is working, but the moment your immune system stops the door is wide open.

Lymph is a clear fluid that comes from blood plasma, which exits blood vessels at capillary beds. This fluid becomes the interstitial fluid that surrounds cells. Lymph contains water, proteins, salts, lipids , white blood cells, and other substances that must be returned to the blood. The primary functions of the lymphatic system are to drain and return interstitial fluid to the blood, to absorb and return lipids from the digestive system to the blood, and to filter fluid of pathogens, damaged cells, cellular debris, and cancerous cells. Lymphatic System Structures The major components of the lymphatic system include lymph, lymphatic vessels, and lymphatic organs that contain lymphoid tissues. Lymphatic Vessels Lymphatic vessels are structures that absorb fluid that diffuses from blood vessel capillaries into surrounding tissues. This fluid is directed toward lymph nodes to be filtered and ultimately re-enters blood circulation through veins located near the heart.

The number of patients with this complication continues to grow, and many return home from transplant centres after HCT requiring continued treatment with immunosuppressive drugs that increases their risks for serious infections and other complications. In this Seminar, we review our understanding of the risk factors and causes of GHVD, the cellular and cytokine networks implicated in its pathophysiology, and current strategies to prevent and treat the disease. We also summarise supportive-care measures that are essential for management of this medically fragile population. Previous article Next article Introduction The number of allogeneic haemopoietic-cell transplantations (HCTs) continues to rise, with more than 25 000 procedures undertaken annually. The graft-versus-leukaemia or graft-versus-tumour effect during this procedure effectively eradicates many haematological malignant diseases. 1 Development of novel strategies that use donor leucocyte infusions, non-myeloablative conditioning, and umbilical-cord blood transplantation has helped expand the indications for allogeneic HCT over the past few years, especially for older patients. 2 Improvements in infectious prophylaxis, immunosuppressive treatments, supportive care, and DNA-based tissue typing have also contributed to enhanced outcomes after the technique. 1 Yet, the major complication of allogeneic HCT—graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)—remains lethal and limits use of this important procedure." }, { "docid": "D2971729#0", "title": "http://www.ehow.com/about_5591539_role-spleen-marrow-circulatory-system_.html\nWhat Is the Role of the Spleen & Marrow in the Circulatory System?", "text": "\"Home »Biology What Is the Role of the Spleen & Marrow in the Circulatory System? By Palmer Owyoung; Updated April 24, 2017The circulatory system is made up of various organs that produce both white and red blood cells found in the immune system. The lungs, heart, veins and arteries must coordinate to efficiently transport almost 5 liters of blood around the body. While red blood cells transport oxygen, it is the white blood cells that fight infectious organisms and perform blood clotting. The spleen and marrow are considered the birthplace and nursery of these cells. Function Of The Spleen The spleen is a multifunctional organ. In the circulatory system, its main role is to destroy and remove old or defective red blood cells and cell debris or bacteria from the blood stream. It also produces red blood cells when required, as well as lymphocytes, plasma cells, and antibodies. It therefore acts as both a storage reservoir for stem cells and mature blood cells, which it will release into the blood circulation when the body requires it (e.g. to fight infections).

[ 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.

Follow Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Lymphocytes are specialized white blood cells whose function is to identify and destroy invading antigens. All lymphocytes begin as “stem cells” in the bone marrow, the soft tissue that fills most bone cavities, but they mature in two different places. Some lymphocytes mature in the bone marrow and are called B lymphocytes. B lymphocytes, or B cells, make antibodies, which circulate through the blood and other body fluids, binding to antigens and helping to destroy them in humoral immune responses. Other lymphocytes, called T lymphocytes, or T cells, mature in the thymus, a small glandular organ located behind the breastbone. Some T lymphocytes, called cytotoxic (cell-poisoning) or killer T lymphocytes, generate cell-mediated immune responses, directly destroying cells that have specific antigens on their surface that are recognized by the killer T cells.

Aplastic anemia may occur suddenly, or it can occur slowly and get worse over a long period of time. Treatment for aplastic anemia may include medications, blood transfusions or a stem cell transplant, also known as a bone marrow transplant. Symptoms Aplastic anemia symptoms may include: Fatigue Shortness of breath with exertion Rapid or irregular heart rate Pale skin Frequent or prolonged infections Unexplained or easy bruising Nosebleeds and bleeding gums Prolonged bleeding from cuts Skin rash Dizziness Headache Aplastic anemia can progress slowly over weeks or months, or it may come on suddenly.

DNA is a long sequence of building blocks called nucleotides, which occur in four forms called A, T, C and G. This code contains almost all of the information, and is usually considered static. More transient information can also be stored in the DNA in the form of DNA modifications. These are small extensions (such as a methyl or acetyl group) that are attached to the DNA sequence. They influence the binding of certain proteins to DNA, and thus have an effect on the regulation on how the information present in the DNA sequence is used.

Genetics and Human Health: A Primer DNA, RNA, genes and chromosomes [2]2.2 Every cell in the human body contains a nucleus, with the exception of red blood cells, which lose this structure as they mature. Within the nucleus are tightly coiled threadlike structures known as chromosomes (see Figure 1). Every chromosome has a long arm and a short arm, with a pinch point known as a ‘centromere’. Humans normally have 23 pairs of chromosomes, one member of each pair derived from the mother and one from the father (see Figure 2). One those pairs consists of the sex chromosomes—with two X chromosomes determining femaleness, and one X and one Y determining maleness. The other 22 chromosomes are known as ‘autosomes’.2.3 Each chromosome has within it, arranged end-to-end, hundreds or thousands of genes (see Figure 3), [3] each with a specific location, consisting of the inherited genetic material known as DNA. Some chromosomes are significantly larger than others, and some are more densely packed with genes. Under the standard system of identification, scientists have numbered these autosomes from 1–22 in size order (that is, the number of base pairs), [4] with chromosome 1 being the largest (279 million base pairs, and an estimated 2968 genes). [ 5] Of the sex chromosomes, the X (163 million base pairs and an estimated 1184 genes) is similar in size to chromosome 7, while the Y is the smallest chromosome (51 million base pairs and an estimated 231 genes).

Together with growing evidence in support of a tan- talizing theory about the earliest life on earth and our own efforts to build switches from biological molecules, the bacte- rial conundrum set our laboratory group at Yale University in search of an answer. What we found was a far bigger rev- elation than we were expecting: it was a new form of cellular self-control based on one of the oldest types of molecule around—ribonucleic acid, or RNA. Long viewed as mostly a lowly messenger, RNA could have considerable authority, as it turned out, and sophisti- cated mechanisms for asserting it. Although the workings of this newfound class of RNA molecules that we dubbed ribo- switches are still being characterized, it is already clear that they may also provide novel ways of fighting human diseases. Many pathogenic bacteria rely on riboswitches to control as- pects of their own fundamental metabolism, for instance. That this ancient form of self-regulation persists in modern organisms attests to its importance. Bacterial cells are aston- ishingly adaptive and self-reliant chemical factories dedicated to making one final product: endless copies of themselves. But only strains that have been able to maintain this hurried chain of descent in the face of cutthroat competition for resources in changing environments have survived this long.

RNA functions as an information carrier or “messenger”. RNA has multiple roles. Ribosomal RNA (r RNA) is involved in protein synthesis. Introduction At their core, all organisms on the planet have very similar mechanisms by which they handle their genetic information and use it to create the building blocks of a cell. Organisms store information as DNA, release or carry information as RNA, and transform information into the proteins that perform most of the functions of cells (for example, some proteins also access and operate the DNA library). This “central dogma” of molecular biology is an extremely simplistic model, but useful for following the flow of information in biological systems. Among the core features:1.

Researchers did not understand exactly how traits were passed to the next generation until the middle of the 20th century. Now it is clear that genes are what carry our traits through generations and that genes are made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). But genes themselves don't do the actual work. Rather, they serve as instruction books for making functional molecules such as ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins, which perform the chemical reactions in our bodies.

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.

Several slightly different conventions are in use. The number of continents is most commonly considered seven but may range as low as four when the Americas and Afro-Eurasia are each considered a single continent. According to the definition of a continent in the strict sense, an island cannot be part of any continent, but by convention and in practice most major islands are associated with a continent. There are three overland boundaries subject to definition:between Europe and Asia (dividing Eurasia ): along the Turkish Straits, the Caucasus and the Urals (historically also north of the Caucasus, along the Kuma–Manych Depression or along the Don River)between Asia and Africa (dividing Afro-Eurasia into Africa and Eurasia ): at the Isthmus of Suezbetween North America and South America (dividing the Americas ): the Isthmus of Panama While the isthmus between Asia and Africa and that between North and South America are today navigable, via the Suez and Panama canals, respectively, diversions and canals of human origin generally are not accepted on their own accord as continent-defining boundaries; the Suez Canal happens to traverse the isthmus between the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea, dividing Asia and Africa. The remaining boundaries concern the association of islands and archipelagos with specific continents, notably:the delineation of Southeast Asia from Australasiathe delineation between Africa, Europe and Asia in the Mediterranean Seathe delineation between Asia and Europe in the Arctic Oceanthe delineation between Europe and North America in the Atlantic Oceanthe delineation between North and South America in the Caribbean Seathe delineation of Asia from North America in the North Pacific Ocean Contents [ hide ]1 Europe and Africa2 Europe and Asia2.1 History2.2 Modern definition2.3 Islands3 Europe and North America3.1 Islands4 Africa and Asia5 North and South America5.1 Mainland5.2 Islands6 Asia and North America7 The Americas and Oceania8 Asia and Oceania9 Antarctica10 See also11 References Europe and Africa [ edit]The Mediterranean Sea The Atlantic Ocean around the boundary The European and African mainlands are non-contiguous, and the delineation between these continents is thus merely a question of which islands are to be associated with which continent.

When water is added to a dry soil, each particle is covered with a film of adsorbed water. If the addition of water is continued, the thickness of the water film on a particle increases. Increasing the thickness of the water films permits the particles to slide past one another more easily. The behavior of the soil, therefore, is related to the amount of water in the system. Approximately sixty years ago, A. Atterberg defined the boundaries of four states in terms of \"\"limits\"\" as follows: Atterberg's Definitions Liquid limit: The boundary between the liquid and plastic states;Plastic limit: The boundary between the plastic and semi-solid states;Shrinkage limit: The boundary between the semi-solid and solid states. Procedure for Determination of Liquid Limit | Procedure for Determination of Plastic Limit Casagrande's Definition These limits have since been more definitely defined by A. Casagrande as the water contents which exist under the following conditions: Liquid limit: The water content at which the soil has such a small shear strength that it flows to close a groove of standard width when jarred in a specified manner. Plastic limit: The water content at which the soil begins to crumble when rolled into threads of specified size. Shrinkage limit: The water content that is just sufficient to fill the pores when the Liquid Limit Definition The Liquid Limit, also known as the upper plastic limit, is the water content at which soil changes from the liquid state to a plastic state.

The reasoning, however, was based more on cultural variables than on physical facts. In recent years, students began learning that Europe and Asia are not separate continents at all. A continent is defined conventionally as one of several large, continuous and discrete landmasses on Earth, residing on a separate tectonic plate, usually separated from others by water. Traditionally, most geographers and historians identified seven continents. Listed from largest size to smallest were Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia.

Violet, who longs to escape her relationship with her mafioso boyfriend Caesar, enters into a clandestine affair with alluring ex-con Corky, and the two women hatch a scheme to steal $2 million of mafia money. Bound was the first film directed by the Wachowskis, and they took inspiration from Billy Wilder to tell a noir story filled with sex and violence. Financed by Dino De Laurentiis, the film was made on a tight budget with the help of frugal crew members including cinematographer Bill Pope. The directors initially struggled to cast the lesbian characters of Violet and Corky before securing Tilly and Gershon. To choreograph the sex scenes, the directors employed 'sex educator' Susie Bright, who has a bit part in the film." }, { "docid": "D136723#0", "title": "http://www.dictionary.com/browse/limited\nlimited", "text": "\"limited [ lim -i-tid]Spell Syllables Synonyms Examples Word Origin See more synonyms on Thesaurus.comadjective1. confined within limits; restricted or circumscribed: a limited space; limited resources.2.

Allocation is a procedure that is used to divide (\"\"allocate\"\") a single input (i.e. energy) between two different outputs. For example in the case of a combined heat and power (CHP) system it may consume a single fuel, such as natural gas. However the CHP system produces both heat and electricity. The GHG emissions from the combustion of the gas needs to be divided between the generation of heat and electricity. The common ways of doing this are by energy content (i.e. MJ, k WH produced..etc), economic value (i.e. the total economic value of heat versus total value of electricity generated) or in this case of CHP to consider the relative quality of the heat and electricity. Allocation methods can be influential to results and therefore it's important to pick a fair allocation method. Boundary conditions Boundary conditions are used to define what is included in a study. The common boundary conditions are cradle to gate, cradle to site and cradle to grave. However full boundaries should also define what was excluded (i.e. due to a lack of data, or inputs that were assumed negligible)." }, { "docid": "D1263107#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_definition_of_divergent_question\nWhat is the definition of divergent question?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Literature & Language Languages and Cultures English Language Definitions What is the definition of divergent question?

But in the video above, neurologist Dr. Richard Cytowic debunks these familiar notions, arguing that brain regions once believed to be “silent” are actually humming with activity. What exactly do these “silent” regions do? According to Cytowic, they’re intimately involved with our ability to plan, make decisions, adapt to evolving situations, and reason abstractly.

It has been misattributed to many people, including Albert Einstein. [ 1] By extrapolation, it is suggested that a person may harness this unused potential and increase intelligence. Changes in grey and white matter following new experiences and learning have been shown, but it has not yet been proven what the changes are. [ 2] The popular notion that large parts of the brain remain unused, and could subsequently be \"\"activated\"\", rests in popular folklore and not science. Though mysteries regarding brain function remain—e.g. memory, consciousness—the physiology of brain mapping suggests that all areas of the brain have a function. [ 3] [4]Contents [ hide ]1 Origin2 Analysis3 In popular culture4 See also5 References Origin [ edit]One possible origin is the reserve energy theories by Harvard psychologists William James and Boris Sidis in the 1890s who tested the theory in the accelerated raising of child prodigy William Sidis; thereafter, James told audiences that people only meet a fraction of their full mental potential, which is a plausible claim. [ 5] In 1936, American writer Lowell Thomas summarized this idea (in a foreword to Dale Carnegie 's How to Win Friends and Influence People) by adding a falsely precise percentage: \"\"Professor William James of Harvard used to say that the average man develops only ten percent of his latent mental ability\"\". [ 6] This book was not the first to use the 10 percent figure, which was already circulating within the self-help movement before then; for example, the book Mind Myths: Exploring Popular Assumptions About the Mind and Brain includes a chapter on the ten percent myth that shows a self-help advertisement from the 1929 World Almanac with the line \"\"There is NO LIMIT to what the human brain can accomplish." }, { "docid": "D971027#0", "title": "http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/759837_3\nClinical Applications of Imaging Disease Burden in Multiple Sclerosis", "text": "Brain Atrophy in MSBrain volume measurements are not used in routine clinical practice, but it is a very attractive MRI metric in MS because it is clinically relevant, robust and could offer an in vivo measure of neurodegeneration. In general, brain volume in MS patients decreases by 0.7–1.0% per year, [ 15] which is approximately three-times the rate of normal controls. It can be seen as early as CIS. [ 16, 17] It has been shown to correlate with cognitive impairment, [ 18] EDSS [ 19] and quality of life. [ 20]Overall, brain atrophy (pathological loss of tissue) represents the net effect of tissue damage in MS. The exact mechanism by which brain atrophy occurs remains incompletely understood. Axonal loss within white matter lesions probably contributes to brain atrophy by two mechanisms: the amount of tissue lost within the lesions themselves, and Wallerian degeneration in pathways related to the lesions. [ 15, 21] Some studies have found a tight correlation between white matter lesion burden and brain volume; [ 22] however, other studies suggest that this correlation is only modest, suggesting that separate pathologic processes are also contributing to the loss of brain volume. [ 21] Gray matter lesions occur but may not be directly associated with cortical thinning; one pathologic study of 22 MS patients and 17 controls failed to find a significant correlation between gray matter lesions and cortical thinning. [ 23] Iron deposition may also potentially contribute to brain atrophy.

So, what actually is going on when you are ravenously hungry? More importantly, how can you make quiet those signals when your desire to eat is out of control? It All Begins in Your Brain Although your brain plays the biggest role in hunger control, it responds to feedback from other parts of your body, particularly your stomach. The portion of your brain most closely involved in controlling hunger is the hypothalamus, a part of your brain that also regulates other bodily functions like temperature, thirst, memory, sleep, growth, and more. One signal the hypothalamus uses to decide whether you need to eat is how distended your stomach is. If your stomach stretches in response to a meal, this information feeds back to your hypothalamus.

According to the ASAM’s definition, published on the group’s website on Monday, addiction is a “primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry.” This clarification, which was based on consultations with more than 80 experts, is aimed in part at de-stigmatizing addictive disorders. That’s an admirable goal. The scientific evidence shows that addiction is rooted in distinct brain changes, just like other mental illnesses such as depression (though in both instances, the same changes are not found in all people with the conditions). The research does clearly show that evidence-based treatment is far more effective at resolving drug abuse problems than law enforcement efforts like incarceration. There’s no justification for treating people with addiction any differently than other patients.

Bone atrophy, decreased capacity for tissue repair, and chronic disease are known to influence fracture patterns and operative algorithms in this age group. This study presents craniofacial trauma injury patterns and treatment in an elderly population at a major urban trauma center. Methods Patient records were retrospectively reviewed from February 1998 through December 2010. Patients at least 60 years of age who met the inclusion criteria for craniofacial fractures identified by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision code review and confirmed by author review of available computed tomograms were studied. Demographic information, fracture type, concomitant injuries, and management were recorded. Results Of 11,084 patients presenting with facial fracture, 1,047 were older than 60 years. The most common mechanism of injury was falls (50%), and most patients were men (59%). Commonly fractured areas included the nose (n = 452, 43%), maxilla (316, 30%), zygoma (312, 30%), orbital floor (280, 27%), and mandible (186, 18%), with 51 patients (5%) having a concomitant basilar skull fracture.

In this activity you'll get to find out whether people have a sidedness—that is, whether they generally prefer to do most activities with one side of their body—and which side that is. Background Each person's brain is divided into two sides—the left and right hemispheres. In some cases, one hemisphere may be more active than the other during a certain activity. For example, when someone processes language, one hemisphere is usually more active than the other. Doing this or other activities, however, is not absolutely limited to using one hemisphere or the other, or even certain hemispheric parts.

percentage of people with the disease who remain alive for a certain period after their diagnosis. In most cases, statistics refer to five-year survival rates. The survival rates discussed in this article are based on the relative survival rate, which measures the survival of cancer patients in comparison to the general population. The overall five-year relative survival rate for 1995-2001 was 4.6 percent.

Often, statistics refer to the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer, which refers to the percentage of people who remain alive five years after a pancreatic cancer diagnosis. This includes patients who have few or no signs or symptoms of pancreatic cancer, are free of disease, or are receiving treatment for pancreatic cancer. Survival rates are based on large groups of people; they cannot be used to predict what will happen to a particular patient. It is important to note that no two patients are exactly alike, and pancreatic cancer treatment and responses to treatment vary greatly from patient to patient." }, { "docid": "D53646#0", "title": "http://spectrum.ieee.org/biomedical/devices/the-vagus-nerve-a-back-door-for-brain-hacking\nThe Vagus Nerve: A Back Door for Brain Hacking", "text": "\"Feature Biomedical Biomedical Devices29 May 2015 | 11:00 GMTThe Vagus Nerve: A Back Door for Brain Hacking Doctors stimulate a nerve in the neck to treat epilepsy, heart failure, stroke, arthritis, and a half dozen other ailments By Samuel K. Moore Advertisement Illustration: Tavis Coburn“This is a bottle of pills,” says J. P. Errico, showing me something that’s obviously not a bottle of pills. Errico, who is cofounder and CEO of Electro Core Medical, is holding the Gamma Core, a noninvasive vagus nerve stimulator. If Electro Core’s R&D work holds up, this device is about to turn decades of evidence about the importance of a single nerve into a new kind of medicine: an electrical therapy as benign as a morning swim and as straightforward as popping a pill with your coffee. Look at an anatomy chart and the importance of the vagus nerve jumps out at you. Vagus means “wandering” in Latin, and true to its name, the nerve meanders around the chest and abdomen, connecting most of the key organs—heart and lungs included—to the brain stem. It’s like a back door built into the human physiology, allowing you to hack the body’s systems. Vagus nerve stimulation, or VNS, got its start in the 1990s, when Cyberonics, of Houston, developed an implanted stimulator to treat particularly tough cases of epilepsy. That application was just the beginning. Researchers soon found that stimulation had the potential to treat a variety of ailments, including painful neurological conditions such as migraine headaches and fibromyalgia, inflammatory problems such as Crohn’s disease and asthma, and psychiatric ailments such as depression and obsessive- compulsive disorder. Scientific enthusiasm notwithstanding, the clinical history of VNS has been mixed." }, { "docid": "D364674#0", "title": "https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Symptoms-Diagnosis/Diagnosing-Tools/MRI\nMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)", "text": "\"In this article Overview Uses in MSDifferent scan types provide different information Possible safety concerns with gadolinium contrast agents Different magnets provide different information Additional resources Overview Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic tool that currently offers the most sensitive non-invasive way of imaging the brain, spinal cord, or other areas of the body. It is the preferred imaging method to help establish a diagnosis of MS and to monitor the course of the disease. MRI has made it possible to visualize and understand much more about the underlying pathology of the disease. How it works Unlike a computed tomography (CT) scan or conventional X-ray, MRI does not use radiation. Instead, MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to measure the relative water content in tissues — both normal tissue and abnormal — in the body . MRI works in the following way: A very strong magnetic field causes a small percentage of the hydrogen protons in water molecules to line up in the direction of the magnetic field. The percentage lined up is small, but large enough to give a strong signal for imaging. Once the hydrogen protons have been lined up, radio waves and some additional but weaker magnetic fields are used to knock them out of line. When the radio waves are stopped, the protons relax back into line. As they relax, the protons release resonance signals that are transmitted to a computer." }, { "docid": "D1669218#0", "title": "http://www.indiana.edu/%7Ep1013447/dictionary/assn_cor.htm\n.", "text": "To return to the exercise, close this browser window. Association Cortex Association cortex is the cerebral cortex outside the primary areas (Figure 1). It is essential for mental functions that are more complex than detecting basic dimensions of sensory stimulation, for which primary sensory areas appear to be necessary. In humans the association areas are by far the most developed part of the cerebral cortex, and the brain in general. These areas are necessary for perceptual activities, like recognizing objects (toasters, horses, trees, words, etc), rather than simple contours, edges or sensory qualities like color or pitch. Association areas take up an increasingly larger percentage of the cerebral cortex as brain size increases among different species. Figure 2-1e illustrates the increase in relative size of association areas as the brain gets bigger. Association cortex is shown as the pink area outside the primary cortical areas. It is much larger and takes up a much greater percentage of cortex on the human's cerebral hemisphere than on the rat's.

In order to make the calendar section of this homepage complete, I have decided to place here the complete published paper which appeared as \"\"A Calendar For Sense and Sensibility\"\" in Philological Quarterly, 79 (Fall 2000), 233-266. The argument of the paper is that the extant calendar of the 1811 Sense and Sensibility reveals an underlying set of features typical of epistolary novels. It is improbable Austen would have gone to the difficult trouble of erecting such a calendar or her novel had such features had it not been that the original calendar was written as letters. Then its ironic and juxtaposed events would have emerged naturally from the way epistolary narrative allows the writer to escape chronological time within a letter. If I were to revise it, I would stress the obsessive telling of time throughout the book, how each phase of action moves in hours, days, weeks, months, carefully calculated against distances and places. I omitted many of the citations of lengths of time that were not necessary for my calendar, but they are there and part of what went into the timeline and feel of the book, its inner structuring." }, { "docid": "D1812882#0", "title": "http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Lyanna_Stark\nLyanna Stark", "text": "\"Lyanna Stark Season (s)6, 7First seen\"\" Home \"\"Last seen\"\" The Dragon and the Wolf \"\"Appeared in5 episodes (see below)Titles Princess Consort Status Deceased Death281 AC at the Tower of Joy Died giving birth to Jon Snow Death shown in episode\"\" The Winds of Winter \"\" (vision)Origin Winterfell Allegiance House Stark (by birth)House Targaryen (by marriage)Culture Northmen Religion Old Gods of the Forest Father { Rickard Stark }Spouse { Rhaegar Targaryen }Children Jon Snow (Aegon Targaryen)Siblings { Brandon Stark } { Eddard Stark } { Benjen Stark }Portrayed by Aisling Franciosi (adult)Cordelia Hill (child)\"\" His name is Aegon Targaryen.

Updated: October 14, 2015Immediately following the birth of your baby, your blood loss will be bright red and slightly heavier than a normal period – though it shouldn’t exceed what can be managed with a sanitary pad every four hours. If it does, please refer to your midwife or doctor. The loss and blood flow will decrease over the next week, and the colour will alter to a paler red, then a brownish-red colour. The discharge (also known as lochia) can become yellow-white in colour before it ceases. You will notice an odour, which is strong but not offensive. The blood flow should stop after a week or so, but light blood loss might last for about 6 weeks after the birth and is not a cause for concern – it differs for each woman. If you’re worried, contact your midwife or doctor for advice. It’s important that you use sanitary pads and not tampons after the birth of your baby.

Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. Among the features measured are face, fingerprints, hand geometry, handwriting, iris, retinal, vein, and voice. Biometric data are separate and distinct from personal information. Biometric templates cannot be reverse-engineered to recreate personal information and they cannot be stolen and used to access personal information. Using a unique, physical attribute of your body, such as your fingerprint or iris, to effortlessly identify and verify that you are who you claim to be, is the best and easiest solution in the market today. That is the simple truth and power of Biometrics Technology today. Although biometric technology has been around for many years, modern advances in this emerging technology, coupled with big reductions in cost, now make biometrics readily available and affordable to consumers, small business owner, larger corporations and public sector agencies alike. How Does a Fingerprint Optical Scanner Work? A fingerprint scanner system has two basic jobs -- it needs to get an image of your finger, and it needs to determine whether the pattern of ridges and valleys in this image matches the pattern of ridges and valleys in pre-scanned images." } ]

Basic characteristics of BIOMETRIC Technologies: • Universality: Every person should have the characteristic. People who are mute or without a fingerprint will need to be accommodated in some way. • Uniqueness: Generally, no two people have identical characteristics. However, identical twins are hard to distinguish. • Permanence: The characteristics should not vary with time. A person's face, for example, may change with age. • Collectibility: The characteristics must be easily collectible and measurable. • Performance: The method must deliver accurate results under varied environmental circumstances. • Acceptability: The general public must accept the sample collection routines." }, { "docid": "D3492148#0", "title": "http://www.datacenterjournal.com/what-is-a-mantrap-and-do-you-need-one/\nWhat Is a Mantrap and Do You Need One?", "text": "Design Feature What Is a Mantrap and Do You Need One?written by Jeff Clark October 17, 2012Although a large portion of data center security focuses on virtual threats, such as hackers, malware and so forth, physical site security is nevertheless critical as well. A thief or saboteur in the flesh can cause as much—if not more—damage than one in cyberspace. One of the keys to strong data center security is careful control of access to the facility. But every security procedure can be compromised; even the most stringent multifactor biometric authentication system can be defeated, particularly in the case where an intruder “piggybacks” or “tailgates” legitimate personnel into a secure area. That’s where so-called mantraps can offer some benefits. Mantraps: Basically What the Name Indicates A mantrap is essentially just that: a small room designed to “trap” those who would enter a secure area of a facility. This “trap” enables security—whether a system or an employee—to verify the credentials of the entrant and either allow access or trigger alerts indicating an unauthorized entry attempt. Mantraps, which are sometimes called security vestibules, are small rooms with two or more doors. Authentication procedures may be required either at just the door to the secure area or at all doors. The simplest implementation of a mantrap involves two doors: one connects the vestibule to the secure area, and one connects to the nonsecure area." }, { "docid": "D767134#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/32000581/a-220-802-study-questions-flash-cards/\nA+ (220-802) Study Questions", "text": "\"180 terms Eric_Basoco A+ (220-802) Study Questions Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort You just clicked Start -->Run on a Windows XP workstation.

However, each technological innovation harbors the potential of hidden threats to its users. One major threat is theft of private personal data and information. As digital data become more prevalent, users try to secure their information with highly encrypted passwords and ID cards. However, the misuse and theft of these security measures are also on the rise. T aking advantage of security flaws in ID cards result in cards being duplicated or counterfeited and being misused. This increasing battle with cyber security has led to the birth of biometric security systems. Outlining the main differences between the methods of biometric technology used to verify user identities will shed light on the advantages and disadvantages of personal data security systems.

Biometrics is the identification of people based upon their physical characteristics; most commonly their fingerprints, hands, eyes, or facial features. While time and attendance systems are used to manage employee attendance, scheduling, and associated payroll tasks. Within time and attendance, biometric devices are often used as a punch clock in order to add an extra layer of security, accountability and efficiency. How Does Biometric Time and Attendance Software Work? Step 1: Biometric Devices: Using biometric time and attendance systems allows employees to clock in and out using their fingerprint, retinal scan, etc. Often times this process is also accompanied by a PIN (Personal Identification Number) which must also match the fingerprint or other scan. Step 2: Time and Attendance Software: Pairing your biometric device with a time and attendance software allows for more efficient payroll and attendance processing. Rather than spending hours adding up manually submitted clock-in and clock-out times, your biometric time and attendance software will allow you to automatically import data into your payroll software. This will significantly cut down on processing time and will eliminate errors derived from manually inputting information." }, { "docid": "D1180851#0", "title": "https://www.techopedia.com/definition/13657/multi-factor-authentication-mfa\nMulti-Factor Authentication (MFA)", "text": "Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)Definition - What does Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) mean? Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security mechanism in which individuals are authenticated through more than one required security and validation procedure. MFA is built from a combination of physical, logical and biometric validation techniques used to secure a facility, product or service. Techopedia explains Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)MFA is implemented in an environment where an individual's authentication and validation is the highest priority. Examples include a nuclear power plant or a bank’s data warehouse. To gain access to a secured location or system, MFA typically requires three different security mechanism layers and formats, as follows: Physical security: Validates and authenticates a user based on an employee card or other type of physical token Logical/knowledge base security: Validates and authenticates a user based on a required password or personal identification number (PIN), which is memorized by the user Biometric security: Validates and authenticates based on a user's fingerprints, retinal scan and/or voice" }, { "docid": "D197065#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics\nBiometrics", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the academic journal of statistics in biology, see Biometrics (journal).

There are three common factors used for authentication: Something you know (such as a password)Something you have (such as a smart card)Something you are (such as a fingerprint or other biometric method)Identification occurs when a user professes an identity (such as with a username), and authentication occurs when users prove their identity. For example, users are authenticated when they provide both their username and correct password. Permissions, rights, and privileges are then granted to users based on their proven identity.

Erik Ableson • November 2, 2005 9:09 AMAn interesting idea, although there's one area where this breaks down and that's in the international arena where you run across different keyboard layouts. As an anglophone transplanted in France, I'm just starting to get my touch typing speeds back up to where I find them reasonable, and I'm now ruined as a typist on US layout keyboards. Switching back and forth from the english at the house and french at the office has definitely changed my psycho-motor profile for typing. Just something to keep in mind for highly mobile professionals - they'll need about 6 months of acclimatization before they can rekey their typing pattern with any degree of consistency." } ]

The slick sound earned plenty of radio play, but it was the image of the schoolgirl Spears, just 16 when the song was released on October 23, 1998, that made her a sensation. MTV played the video, but it was the internet that gave her the most traction, as teenage girls and guys of all ages logged into their AOL accounts and typed some variation of \"\"Britney Spears\"\" into Alta Vista to see more of the starlet. Over the next 10 years, Spears led the world in celebrity news, with one incident after another documented by eager paparazzi.

Prehistory in the present territory of Argentina began with the first human settlements on the southern tip of Patagonia around 13,000 years ago. Written history began with the arrival of Spanish chroniclers in the expedition of Juan Díaz de Solís in 1516 to the Río de la Plata, which marks the beginning of Spanish domination in this region. In 1776 the Spanish Crown established the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, an umbrella of territories from which, with the Revolution of May 1810, began a process of gradual formation of several independent states, including one called the United Provinces of Río de la Plata. With the declaration of independence on July 9, 1816 and the military defeat of the Spanish Empire in 1824, a federal state was formed in 1853-1861, known today as the Republic of Argentina.

From 1976-1983, a brutal military junta ruled Argentina in what was called “the Dirty War,” when some 10,000 persons were “disappeared” and human rights abuses were rampant. Many of the disappeared were believed to have been abducted by agents of the Argentine government during these years; the disappeared were often tortured and killed before their bodies were disposed of in rural areas or unmarked graves. In response the movement called “Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo” arose, wearing signs with photos and names of their children who had vanished, standing in silent protest. The junta remained in power until Argentina’s cratering economy and woefully unsuccessful attempt to seize the Falklands/Malvinas Islands from the United Kingdom further undermined any remaining shred of credibility. The military leaders, with some convincing from the U. S. and others, stepped down; the general election on October 30, 1983 — and the surprising defeat of the Peronist party — marked the return of constitutional rule. Over 85% of eligible voters participated. With the return to democracy, Argentina and the United States developed a very close bilateral relationship, which was highlighted by President Clinton’s visit to Argentina in October 1997. In July 1998, the United States Government recognized Argentina as a major non-NATO ally. In March 2016 President Barack Obama honored the victims of the Dirty War and ordered the declassification of thousands of military and intelligence documents related to the period." }, { "docid": "D330646#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrods\nHarrods", "text": "\"This article needs to be updated.

At the beginning of Uruguayan independence in 1828, the country had a scarce population of only 75,000. Only one major city, the capitol, Montevideo existed. The rest of the population was scattered in a northwestern, Portuguese speaking region and Spanish speaking South. Today, Uruguay is recognized as a monolingual Spanish speaking country but a closer look reveals a more nuanced dual heritage and development of national identity almost by an accident of history as a “lost province” of both its powerful neighbors and then as a neutral buffer state. Uruguayan historians have even cast the original Charrua Indians that killed the first Spanish settlers on the ‘Left’ (Eastern) Bank of the Parana as “founders of the nation.” The Charrúas delayed the settlement of the east bank for another hundred and fifty years allowing Buenos Aires on the opposite bank to become the major port and settlement center of the Rioplatense region and leaving Montevideo in its shadow. In Uruguay, the national language was determined by the policy of the central government to favor one language – Spanish – over its competitor, Portuguese. Like the great dispute between English and French in Canada, the centuries-old rivalry between Spain and Portugal was transferred to the New World. The poorly defined and contested border between the Spanish and the Portuguese empires had been in dispute since the “Division of the World” agreed to between the two Iberian powers with the support of the Pope in the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494." }, { "docid": "D499892#0", "title": "http://dictionary.reverso.net/spanish-english/buenos%20dias\nbuenos dias translation | Spanish-English dictionary", "text": "\"Search Definition Synonyms Conjugate Speak Suggest new translation/definitionbuenos días exp.good morning Entry related to: bueno Additional comments: Marihemyl E : BUENA TRADEEze G :bueno Collaborative Dictionary Spanish-English¡ buenos dias ! adv. good morning!¡ buenos dias ! adv. good morning!¡ buenos días! exp. good morning!

We are thinking about taking a domestic flight from Buenos Aires out of AEP airport to go to Salta the same day. How much time should we give ourselves for a transfer between these 2 airports on a Monday and also to allow sufficient time to clear Immigration, etc. ( We will have only carry-on luggage.) Would a noon flight out of AEP for Salta be unrealistic for us to take? There is a later flight around 2 PM, 3PM, etc., which probably would be a safer bet? Unfortunately, we won't have a lot of time with this trip, so continuing on to Salta after arriving from the US would actually be more efficient for us; we will then come back to BA at the end, from where we will be flying out to return to the US.

Please read our disclosure for more info. Buenos Aires is the steak capital of the world, so we were a little worried about how we’d get on as vegetarians. Our fears were quickly eased on our first day when Simon sniffed out a local bakery and came back with a pile of sugary doughnuts, sticky medialunas and dulce de leche filled pastries – all for just 7 pesos (about £1). OK, so it may not make a nutritious, healthy meal but it was gooood. Things got even better in the coming days as we discovered some wonderful Buenos Aires vegetarian restaurants and some tasty Argentine snacks. These are our top food choices in Buenos Aires for vegetarians or for those just looking for a break from great slabs of beef.1) Empanadas – These popular Argentine savoury pastries are one of our favourite snacks here. Although meat fillings are most common it’s easy to find queso & cebolla (cheese & onion) versions. Great for a quick and cheap meal.2) Alfajores – The classic sweet snack is the Alfajor – two round biscuits filled with copious amounts of dulce de leche (see below). There are many variations, most commonly a chocolate coating, but I prefer the simple version." }, { "docid": "D2597117#0", "title": "https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/what-do-you-call-somebody-who-is-unable-to-speak.968068/\nWhat do you call somebody who is unable to speak?", "text": "\"Dictionary and thread title search: Forums > English Only > English Only >What do you call somebody who is unable to speak?

By Michael Mason; Updated April 25, 2017Here's a Calculator to Help You1234567890+-x/.=CFor convenience in locating the geographic position of different places on the Earth’s surface, the surface is covered by an imaginary grid, which is depicted on maps as vertical and horizontal lines. The vertical lines, which join the two poles, are called lines of longitude, and the horizontal lines, which are parallel to the equator, are called lines of latitude. Longitude is split into 360 degrees, 180 degrees to the east and to the west of Greenwich, through which the Zero degree meridian passes. Latitude is split into 180 degrees, 90 degrees north and south of the equator. Determine the Latitude In order to calculate the difference in latitude of two places, you first need to know the latitude of each of the two individual locations. There are several ways of determining this. The traditional way is to look up the location on a map that shows latitude and longitude and to measure the latitude using a pair of dividers. The second, and probably the easiest way, is to look it up on an Internet search, and the third is to use a program such as Google Earth, and read it off the screen. Making the Calculation Here’s where your math is put to test." } ]

Albania is a small predominantly mountainous country in Southeastern Europe, on facing the Adriatic and Ionian Seas within the Mediterranean Sea. About 20% of the Albania‘s territory consist of coastal plains, while the remaining by a mass of high rugged mountain ranges. The country covers a territory of 28,748 km 2 (11,100 sq mi), making it the 145th largest country in the world. [ 1] [2] It lies mostly between latitudes 42° and 39° N and longitudes 21° and 19° E. Albania shares borders with Montenegro in the northwest, Kosovo in the northeast, Macedonia in the east and Greece in the south. [ 3] Its coastline length on the Adriatic and the Ionian Seas is 476 km (296 mi). [ 4] The lowlands of the west face the Adriatic Sea and the strategically important Strait of Otranto, which puts less than 72 km (45 mi) of water between Albania and the heel of Italy. Topographically, Albania encompasses coastal plains in the west to the Albanian Alps in the north, the Sharr Mountains in the northeast, Skanderbeg Mountains in the center, Korab Mountains in the east, Pindus Mountains in the southeast and Ceraunian Mountains in the southwest along the Albanian Riviera. The hydrographic network of the country includes several of the largest and most ancient bodies of freshwater in Southern Europe.

Trade names include Nipol, Krynac and Europrene. Nitrile butadiene rubber ( NBR) is a family of unsaturated copolymers of 2-propenenitrile and various butadiene monomers (1,2-butadiene and 1,3-butadiene). Although its physical and chemical properties vary depending on the polymer’s composition of nitrile, this form of synthetic rubber is unusual in being generally resistant to oil, fuel, and other chemicals (the more nitrile within the polymer, the higher the resistance to oils but the lower the flexibility of the material).

The term \"\"Shimeji\"\" is often used to describe one of over 20 species such as the Clamshell, the Beech, or the Pioppino mushroom. However, when referred to as the Hon shimeji (also Honshimeji or Hon-shimeji), the name is typically, but incorrectly, referencing the similar looking Brown Beech (Buna shimeji or Buna-shimeji) or the White Beech (Bunapi shimeji or Bunapi-shimeji) mushrooms, which are also known as the Brown and White Clamshell mushrooms. The Pioppino Mushroom (Agrocybe aegerita) most often refers to the Velvet Pioppino which also has an appearance that is very similar to the Brown or White Beech with a distinctively different shade of coloring. The Hon shimeji is really the only true shimeji species and is a delicacy in Japan. The Hon shimeji has been more difficult to obtain in the past but has started to be cultivated in the recent years, making this species more obtainable. The Honshimeji mushroom grows in bunches of delicate, compact white stems 1 to 2 inches high, topped with small light brown or off white caps. The flesh of this mushroom is crisp in texture, providing a crunchy and juicy meat that may taste somewhat nutty or herb flavored when cooked. It is not a good mushroom to serve raw, since the flavor and ability to digest it will not be favorable. It is a good mushroom to serve in stir-fried foods, with wild game or seafood, in soups or stews, and in a variety of sauces." }, { "docid": "D1590215#0", "title": "http://www.valvias.com/type-diaphragm-valve.php\n.", "text": "\"Diaphragm Valve Search Diaphragm valve Search Diaphragm valve company Send Diaphragm valve enquires to Valvias Diaphragm valves are used on shut-off and throttling service for liquids, slurries and vacuum/gas. The seal is achieved by a flexible membrane, usually elastomer, and possibly reinforced with a metal part. The membrane is tensed by the effect of a stem/compressor with lineal movement until contact is made against the seal of the body. The operating parts of the diaphragm valve are isolated from the flow. This makes this valve suitable for viscous flows and also hazardous, abrasive and corrosive flows as its sealing system avoids any contamination towards or from the environment.

During the initial phase in early 1942, the Empire of Japan invaded the Australian -administered territories of the New Guinea Mandate (23 January) and Papua (8 March) and overran western New Guinea (beginning 29/30 March), which was a part of the Netherlands East Indies. During the second phase, lasting from late 1942 until the Japanese surrender, the Allies —consisting primarily of Australian and US forces—cleared the Japanese first from Papua, then the Mandate and finally from the Dutch colony. The campaign resulted in a crushing defeat and very heavy losses for Empire of Japan. As in most Pacific War campaigns, disease and starvation claimed more Japanese lives than enemy action. Most Japanese troops never even came into contact with Allied forces, and were instead simply cut off and subjected to an effective blockade by the US Navy. Garrisons were effectively besieged and denied shipments of food and medical supplies, and as a result, some claim that 97% of Japanese deaths in this campaign were from non-combat causes.

There's a flashback-within-a-flashback, within a flashforward, within the snow globe of a child with autism. This episode makes the narrative structure of Inception look linear. The structure of the episode leads to a strange whiplash effect within the first five to 10 minutes of the episode, during which time I became sure I had missed an episode somewhere in between. But that's impossible! I literally recap this show, how could I forget Scott being mauled and ... wait, did they just say Derek is dead?! With twice the amount of episodes as last season, the show is definitely experimenting a bit with the freedom of having more room to tell the story. They can take an episode to get really funky with the storytelling in order to help us connect emotionally with the characters without sacrificing the nonstop forward momentum that has already become this season's hallmark. I like this episode, even if it doesn't feel like all of the wacky structuring is entirely necessary.

Despite what people may think at first, the genre is less targeted at a male audience (though it does have male fans), and more targeted at a female fan base. Saying that, No, Thank You!!! has made a great effort to attract male fans, even going as far as to create sexual scenes in the form of male- eroge, rather than the slightly sweeter scenes a fujoshi (female BL fan) may expect.

Walton purchased one if the Ben Franklin stores in 1945. His focus was on the profit margin. Walton believed that selling products at a lower selling price, but in high volume sales, would make both customer and himself happy with the deal. Walton was on to something, as sales increased 45% during his first year in business with his Ben Franklin store. When his 5-year lease with the company expired, he was unable to reach a new agreement. Walton opened his own store on Main Street in Bentonville, calling it Waltons Five and Dime.

The ACOG was originally designed to be used on the M16 rifle and M4 carbine, but Trijicon has also developed ACOG accessories for other firearms. Models provide fixed power magnification levels from 1.5× to 6×. [1] ACOG reticles are illuminated at night by an internal phosphor. Some versions have an additional daytime reticle illumination via a passive external fiber optic light pipe or are LED-illuminated using a battery. The first ACOG model, known as the TA01, was released in 1987. [ 2] [3]Contents [ hide ]1 Design2 Bindon aiming concept3 Users4 Related Images5 Controversy6 See also7 References8 External links Design [ edit]The ACOG is available in a variety of configurations from the manufacturer with different reticles, illumination, and other features. Most ACOGs do not use batteries for reticle illumination, [4] being designed to use internal phosphor illumination provided by the radioactive decay of tritium. The tritium illumination has a usable life of 10–15 years. [ 5] Some versions of the ACOG have an additional daytime reticle illumination via a passive external fiber optic light pipe. Normally this allows the brightness of the reticle to match the field of view since it collects ambient light from around the sight, although this can lead to a mismatch in lighting - such as sunlight hitting the light pipe directly, or standing in a shadow - causing the reticle to be much brighter or darker than the target.

Mission accepted, Brian! I’ve shot a lot of .22s over the years and I’m happy to make a few suggestions. I’ll break it to you now, though: the Phoenix Arms Rangemaster is not among them. A good plinker has to be simple, affordable and rugged. Tack-driving accuracy and tactical good looks are not required, since tin cans and magpies aren’t too small and they’ll never know what shot them. ‘Mission-Critical’ reliability is also not exactly mission-critical for plinking, when a jam or misfire is only an inconvenience. That being said, a plinker should be fairly reliable with the kinds of low-grade .22 ammunition (purchased at least 500 rounds at a time) that will be its exclusive diet. If you’re looking for a plinker, remember to include pawn shops and smaller gun stores in your search because used guns often make the best plinkers. First of all they’re cheap, and second you’ll never get too upset if your nephew accidentally scratches or dings a gun that’s already covered in dings and scratches." }, { "docid": "D542704#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_allied_military_operations_of_the_Vietnam_War_(1965)\nList of allied military operations of the Vietnam War (1965)", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search [ show]v t e Military engagements of the Vietnam War This article is a list of known military operations of the Vietnam War in 1965, conducted by the armed forces of the Republic of Vietnam, the United States and their allies.

[ 21] [22] These Cold War -era rifles have been used in conflicts both large and small since the 1960s. They are used by military, police, security forces, revolutionaries, terrorists, criminals and civilians alike and will most likely continue to be used for decades to come. [ 23] [24] As a result, they have been the subject of countless comparisons and endless debate. [ 5] [25] [26]The AK-47 was finalized, adopted and entered widespread service in the Soviet Army in the early 1950s. [ 27] Its firepower, ease of use, low production costs, and reliability were perfectly suited for the Soviet Army's new mobile warfare doctrines. More AK-type weapons have been produced than all other assault rifles combined. [ 28] In 1974, the Soviets began replacing their AK-47 and AKM rifles with a newer design, the AK-74, which uses 5.45×39mm ammunition. The M16 entered U. S. service in the mid-1960s. [ 29] Despite its early failures, the M16 proved to be a revolutionary design and stands as the longest continuously serving rifle in American military history." }, { "docid": "D911996#0", "title": "http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/newtown.asp\nSandy Hook Exposed?", "text": "\"Sandy Hook Exposed? A video supposedly documenting that the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School were a staged hoax is full of misinformation.3KCLAIMA video documents that the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School were a staged hoax. RATINGFalse ORIGINA video widely circulated after the 14 December 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, which left 26 victims dead at that school, purported to show many contradictions in facts surrounding the Sandy Hook shootings which established that the incident was a staged “hoax”: The information presented in that video was a mixture of misinformation, innuendo, and subjective interpretation, such as the following:1) In the immediate aftermath of the terror and tragedy of the Sandy Hook shootings, there was naturally a great deal of confusion among witnesses, police, and the news media about subjects such as the number of shooters involved, the identities of those involved, and the number of guns used. It’s hardly surprising or revelatory to note that some witnesses gave contradictory statements, that police initially followed up on the possibility of multiple shooters, or that some news outlets initially reported inaccurate information. All of this is typical in the crush for information from the news media, public, and relatives of victims that follows in the wake of disasters involving large numbers of deaths.2) In their initial sweep of the crime scene, police detained or investigated some people who were soon cleared of any involvement with the shootings: According to the Newtown Bee, a “reliable local law enforcement source” told them that a man with a gun who was spotted in the woods near the school on the day of the incident was an “off-duty tactical squad police officer from another town. ”Chris Manfredonia, whose 6-year-old daughter attends Sandy Hook, was briefly handcuffed by police after he ran around the school trying to reach his daughter (who had been locked in a room with her teacher). An unidentified man whom some children reported seeing pinned down on the ground in handcuffs outside a nearby firehouse was also briefly detained and then released when police determined he was merely an innocent passerby. Contrary to claims, Christopher Rodia (not to be confused with Chris Manfredonia), whose name can be heard on a recording of a police radio transmission reporting the license plate of a “possible suspect vehicle” parked at Sandy Hook Elementary (because he was being pulled over in a traffic stop elsewhere), was not a suspect in the shootings nor was he the registered owner of the car that accused shooter Adam Lanza drove to the school. The black Honda that police impounded at the scene belonged to a relative of Adam Lanza’s and not to Rodia. Chris Rodia himself was not at Sandy Hook Elementary when the shootings took place; he was driving a different vehicle in another town at the time." }, { "docid": "D138111#0", "title": "https://www.glassdoor.ca/Salary/Walmart-Salaries-E715.htm\nWalmart Salaries", "text": "Walmart Salaries Updated 27 March, 20182,056 employee salaries in CA (for 536 job titles) | 36,921 salaries in USHow much do Walmart employees make?

Thus, they seem to have another, similar disorder that doctors call undifferentiated connective tissue disease. Although the word \"\"undifferentiated\"\" sounds vague, it describes a real problem. It does not mean that a doctor does not know what to call the condition, it just means that all or most of the clinical features (problems) traditionally seen in lupus or another connective tissue disease aren't present but some of those features are present. This undifferentiated category is distinctly separate from another group of vague-sounding disorders called \"\"overlap syndromes.\"\" People with overlap syndromes have the clear features of at least two or more CTDs, and thus may meet the diagnoses for several at the same time. In contrast, patients with UCTD do not have enough of the features of a definite CTD (systemic lupus, systemic sclerosis, or dermatomyositis/polymyositis) to be firmly classified with such a diagnosis. However, because they may have a few features from several known diseases, they are said to be \"\"undifferentiated.\"\" ( See Fig. 1)Figure 1The term \"\"undifferentiated connective tissue disease\"\" was first used in 1980s to identify people who were recognized as being in the early stages of a CTD but who did not yet meet the standard criteria for a well-defined CTD." }, { "docid": "D2828810#0", "title": "http://nyulangone.org/conditions/systemic-lupus-erythematosus-in-adults/diagnosis\nDiagnosing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus", "text": "Diagnosing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Share: Systemic lupus erythematosus, commonly known as lupus, is a chronic autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system, which attacks viruses and bacteria, instead attacks healthy tissue, causing inflammation throughout the body and, sometimes, damaging tissue. Lupus can affect the blood vessels, brain, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, nervous system, or skin. Another type of lupus, cutaneous (discoid) lupus, affects only the skin. Symptoms of lupus can range from mild to serious, depending on the organs affected. Lupus involves periodic flare-ups, in which symptoms intensify, and remission, in which symptoms lessen or disappear. The most common symptoms include fatigue, painful and swollen joints, skin rashes—most notably, a butterfly-shaped rash across the face—unexplained fever, and mouth or nose ulcers. More severe lupus can cause pleuritis, an inflammation of the lining of the lungs; kidney disease; neurological conditions—those affecting the brain and spinal cord—such as weakness or memory loss; and pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac that covers the heart. Experts don’t know what causes lupus. But a family history of the disease increases risk, and hormones or chemicals may also play a role." }, { "docid": "D964646#0", "title": "http://www.esupplements.com/article/side-effects-of-pre-workout-supplements/\nSide Effects of Pre-Workout Supplements", "text": "Moses January 14, 2014Side Effects of Pre-Workout Supplements I recently started taking Neurocore Pre-Workout and the first time i took it i started getting itchy and my heart started to race a little, What are some things i should look for to know i should stop taking a product and what are normal reactions to all pre workouts? Reply Mike Jackson January 23, 2014Side Effects of Pre-Workout Supplements Hey Moses, that’s a great question and probably the one I get asked more than any other as it relates to pre-workouts supplements. The sensation that you’re feeling is called paresthesia and it’s triggered by the amino acid beta-alanine, one of the principle ingredients in your product. About 10 years ago beta-alanine broke through as one of the most promising pre-workout ingredients and since has become something of a staple in most pre-workout supplements because of how well it works. Unfortunately, it does cause that itchy feeling you’re noticing and sometimes can cause visible redness similar to a “niacin-rush.” There are no studies to suggest it’s in anyway harmful. If it’s something you’d rather avoid then look for pre-workout products that don’t contain either beta-alanine or niacin. December 3, 2016Erik719@gmail.com Thankful for this post. I too have extreme itchiness after about the 4 th time taking Six Star preworkout blend.

The body's immune system normally makes proteins called antibodies to protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other foreign materials. These foreign materials are called antigens. In an autoimmune disorder such as lupus, the immune system loses its ability to tell the difference between foreign substances (antigens) and its own cells and tissues. The immune system then makes antibodies directed against \"\"self.\"\" These antibodies, called \"\"auto-antibodies,\"\" react with the \"\"self\"\" antigens to form immune complexes.

Learn about what a C4 plant is and what makes C4 plants unique. Then you can test your knowledge with a quiz. What Is a C4 Plant? A C4 plant sounds like something that should be associated with Hollywood action movies! However, it is just a type of plant that uses a specific photosynthesis mechanism (C4 photosynthesis) in order to avoid photorespiration. Photorespiration is a wasteful reaction that occurs when plants take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide instead of taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. All plants make energy during the Calvin cycle (the process where plants take up CO 2 and turn it into sugar energy); however, in hot, sunny, dry climates, C4 plants are much more efficient than C3 plants (plants that perform C3 photosynthesis - the most common type). The difference between C3 and C4 plants is that C4 plants make a four-carbon sugar during the Calvin cycle instead of two three-carbon sugars as in C3 plants. This larger sugar in C4 plants brings more CO 2 to the Ru Bis CO enzyme, reducing oxygen levels and making the process energy-intensive." }, { "docid": "D699030#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/causes-of-low-platelets-in-adults\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Causes Of Low Platelets In Adults", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Causes Of Low Platelets In Adults Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Keith Stockerl-Goldstein2 doctors agreed:1 What could cause low platelets?

Related to complement: compliment, Complement systemcomplement [ kom´plĕ-ment] a term originally used to refer to the heat-labile factor in serum that causes immune cytolysis (lysis of antibody-coated cells). It is now used to refer to the entire functionally related system comprising at least 20 distinct serum proteins, their cellular receptors, and related regulatory proteins; thissystem is the effector not only of immune cytolysis but also of other biologic functions includinganaphylaxis, phagocytosis, opsonization, and hemolysis. Complement activation occurs by two different sequences, the classical pathway and the alternativepathway. All of the “components of complement,” designated C1 through C9 (C1 being composed of three distinct proteins, C1q, C1r, and C1s), participate in the classical pathway; the alternativepathway lacks components C1, C2, and C4 but adds factor b, factor d, and properdin. Regulatoryproteins include factor h, factor i, clusterin, C3 nephritic factor, decay accelerating factor, homologous restriction factor, C1 inhibitor, C4 binding protein, membrane cofactor protein, protectin, and vitronectin. The classical pathway is primarily activated by the binding of C1 to antigen-antibody complexescontaining the immunoglobulins Ig M or Ig G. The alternative pathway can be activated by Ig A immunecomplexes and also by nonimmunologic materials including bacterial endotoxins, microbialpolysaccharides, and cell walls. Activation of the classical pathway triggers an enzymatic cascadeinvolving C1, C4, C2, and C3; activation of the alternative pathway triggers a cascade involving C3 and factors B and D and properdin. Both pathways result in cleavage of C5 and formation of themembrane attack complex, which in its final state creates a pore in the cell wall and causes celllysis. Complement activation also results in the formation of many biologically active complementfragments that act as anaphylatoxins, opsonins, or chemotactic factors." }, { "docid": "D1130403#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/109191090/soft-tissue-calcificationmaxillary-sinus-flash-cards/\nSoft Tissue Calcification/Maxillary Sinus", "text": "\"102 terms babu227Soft Tissue Calcification/Maxillary Sinus Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

The test also goes by the formal names of Complement Component C3, Complement activity and Complement Component C4. The complement system is composed of a set of blood proteins that circulate and work with each other to boost immunity and to promote inflammatory responses. They primary perform the function of destroying viruses and bacteria. The primary components of the complement system are nine in number and they are designated from C1 to C9. The complement system is different from the acquired immune system, as it does not generate specific antibodies that can destroy a viral agent on target. The complement system thus need not be exposed to a virus earlier to remember to destroy it. Instead, it forms part of the body's innate immune system which responds to foreign substances very quickly and can identify them by studying the outer membranes of these foreign cells and microorganisms." }, { "docid": "D512609#0", "title": "http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Digestive-Disorders---Gastroenterology/Fluctuating-Liver-Enzymes/show/234776\nFluctuating Liver Enzymes", "text": "\"Fluctuating Liver Enzymesdartmouth03Hello Dr, I'm a 24 year old male nonsmoke and nondrinker, 5'7 133 w/ no family history of liver problems.

Extensive Definition Aflatoxins are naturally occurring mycotoxin s that are produced by many species of Aspergillus, a fungus, most notably Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxins are toxic and among the most carcinogen ic substances known. After entering the body, aflatoxins are metabolized by the liver to a reactive intermediate, aflatoxin M1, an epoxide. Aflatoxin is frequently misspelled as aflotoxin and alfatoxin, which could be confused with alpha toxin. Contamination conditions Aflatoxin producing members of Aspergillus are common and widespread in nature. They can colonize and contaminate grain before harvest or during storage. Host crops are particularly susceptible to infection by Aspergillus following prolonged exposure to a high humidity environment or damage from stressful conditions such as drought, a condition which lowers the barrier to entry. The native habitat of Aspergillus is in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains undergoing microbiological deterioration and it invades all types of organic substrates whenever conditions are favorable for its growth. Favorable conditions include high moisture content (at least 7%) and high temperature. Crops which are frequently affected include cereal s ( maize, sorghum, pearl millet, rice, wheat ), oilseed s ( peanut, soybean, sunflower, cotton ), spice s ( chile pepper s, black pepper, coriander , turmeric, ginger ), and tree nut s ( almond, pistachio, walnut, coconut, brazil nut )." }, { "docid": "D3277394#0", "title": "https://www.revolvy.com/topic/Chemophobia&item_type=topic\nChemophobia", "text": "\"Save Chemophobia (or chemphobia or chemonoia [1] [2]) is an aversion to or prejudice against chemicals or chemistry. The phenomenon has been ascribed both to a reasonable concern over the potential adverse effects of synthetic chemicals, and to an irrational fear of these substances because of misconceptions about their potential for harm. [ 3] [4] People marketing products react to widespread chemophobia with products marketed with an appeal to nature. Definition and uses There are differing opinions on the proper usage of the word chemophobia. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry defines chemophobia as an \"\"irrational fear of chemicals\"\". [ 5] According to the American Council on Science and Health, chemophobia is a fear of synthetic substances arising from \"\"scare stories\"\" and exaggerated claims about their dangers prevalent in the media. [ 6]Despite containing the suffix -phobia, the majority of written work focusing on addressing chemophobia describes it as a non-clinical aversion or prejudice, and not as a phobia in the standard medical definition. Chemophobia is generally addressed by chemical education [7] [8] [9] [10] and public outreach. [ 7] [4] [11]Michelle Francl has written: \"\"We are a chemophobic culture. Chemical has become a synonym for something artificial, adulterated, hazardous, or toxic.\"\"" }, { "docid": "D309686#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinogen\nCarcinogen", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The international pictogram for chemicals that are sensitising, mutagenic, carcinogenic or toxic to reproduction. A carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide, or radiation that promotes carcinogenesis, the formation of cancer. This may be due to the ability to damage the genome or to the disruption of cellular metabolic processes. Several radioactive substances are considered carcinogens, but their carcinogenic activity is attributed to the radiation, for example gamma rays and alpha particles, which they emit. Common examples of non-radioactive carcinogens are inhaled asbestos, certain dioxins, and tobacco smoke. Although the public generally associates carcinogenicity with synthetic chemicals, it is equally likely to arise in both natural and synthetic substances. [ 1] Carcinogens are not necessarily immediately toxic; thus, their effect can be insidious. Cancer is any disease in which normal cells are damaged and do not undergo programmed cell death as fast as they divide via mitosis. Carcinogens may increase the risk of cancer by altering cellular metabolism or damaging DNA directly in cells, which interferes with biological processes, and induces the uncontrolled, malignant division, ultimately leading to the formation of tumors. Usually, severe DNA damage leads to programmed cell death, but if the programmed cell death pathway is damaged, then the cell cannot prevent itself from becoming a cancer cell." }, { "docid": "D3333340#0", "title": "http://www.definitions.net/definition/Benzene\nDefinitions &Translations", "text": "\"Vocabulary What does benzene mean?

Its molecule is composed of 6 carbon atoms joined in a ring, with 1 hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom. Because its molecules contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon. Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, and is one of the most elementary petrochemicals. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and the second [n]-annulene, a cyclic hydrocarbon with a continuous pi bond. It is sometimes abbreviated Ph–H.

Alcohol and estrogen, for example, does not damage DNA. It's one of the assumptions of the Ames test that mutagenicity implies carcinogenicity, but is this always the case? I assumed that it was, but then I saw one of the comments here. I did some more research but the internet seems to be reluctant to be definitive on the subject. This guy claims 'no', but I'd prefer sources or at least a response that handles counterexamples like HPV. This paper claims 'yes', but doesn't list any specific examples. Some mutagens might be more specific to genes involved in cell cycle regulation, so I could see how a weak mutagen is a powerful carcinogen.

Hereâs What You Need to Know.", "text": "\"As of today, the World Health Organisation has officially classified processed meat as \"\"carcinogenic\"\", alongside such notorious substances as tobacco, arsenic, and pesticides. The decision was made by the International Agency of Research into Cancer (IARC), based on a review of 800 studies from around the world that found \"\"sufficient evidence in humans that the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer\"\". At the same time, red meat has been classified as \"\"probably carcinogenic\"\", because while a direct link between it and cancer has yet to be found in humans, studies have found strong evidence for it in lab animals. So what does this mean for everyone who isn’t vegetarian right now? Long story short, yes these classifications are serious and based on real science; no you don’t have to give up bacon, sausages, beef, or any other kind of meat in an effort to avoid a higher risk of cancer. Here’s why. First off, when we talk about processed meats, we’re talking anything that has been salted, cured, fermented, or smoked, which means hot dogs, sausages, bacon, ham, corned beef, dried meat such as beef jerky, and canned meat or meat-based sauces. Red meat, on the other hand, is classified as any mammalian muscle meat, so beef, veal, venison, and pork. According to the IARC review, for every 50 grams (1.8 ounces) of meat eaten on a daily basis - so two rashers of bacon a day - the average risk of developing colon cancer is 18 percent higher. As Joshua A. Krisch explains at Vocativ, right now, your lifetime risk of colorectal cancer is about five percent." }, { "docid": "D2532167#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/health-benefits-of-unsweetened-iced-tea\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Health Benefits Of Unsweetened Iced Tea", "text": "Top 30 Doctor insights on: Health Benefits Of Unsweetened Iced Tea Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Heidi Fowler1 Can iced green tea have same health benefits as hot green tea?

I can agree that this school is in it for the money, but these days it is pretty much expected and the typical American greed. The course material in gen ed courses or courses such as program mgmt. etc. are easy to pass if you have half a brain. I do have 10 years of professional experience, and while it makes courses for me very easy, if you do not have any knowledge it gives you a basic understanding for entry level positions in my field if you pay attention. Material is a bit dated using old technology, but working in an enterprise environment the technology and content still applies to newer technology as well or deviates from it. I did also dislike the group projects, as I had several groups where my team mates were useless and I had to do most of the work in order to submit quality content using my professional knowledge. I was looking at several colleges and chose De Vry due to my schedule. There are cheaper options, but the online courses are very flexible and an A or B is easy to get with some effort." }, { "docid": "D2462132#0", "title": "http://undergraduate-catalog-2014-2016.shsu.edu/home/tuition-and-fees.html\nTuition & Fees", "text": "Tuition & Fees Tuition and Fees Schedule 2014-2015 Academic Year All tuition and fees are subject to change by action of the State Legislature or the Board of Regents of The Texas State University System.

IPEDS is a mandatory data collection for institutions that participate in or are applicants for participation in any federal student financial aid program authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 USC 1094, Section 487 (a) (17) and 34 CFR 668.14 (b) (19)). The 2017 lists are based on data collected during the 2015-16 IPEDS data collection cycle, the most recent data that have undergone the full NCES data review process and been publicly released via the IPEDS Data Center. Institutions had the following year to review their submitted 2015-16 data through NCES publications, College Navigator, and the Data Center. Updated data submitted in the 2016-17 Prior Year Revision System are not included in the 2017 CATC lists because a full data review of the revised data is not possible by the July 1 release date. Furthermore, the 2016-17 Prior Year Revision System only allows for updates for three years back from 2016-17, which means the required average net price from 2012-13 needed to calculate the three-year change cannot be updated. Thus, data cannot be revised after the CATC lists have been released to the public. The College Affordability and Transparency Center includes multiple lists as described below. For institutions that base institutional charges on academic year The following lists were generated For each of the following institutional sectors Highest tuition and required fees: A list of the five percent of institutions that have the highest tuition and required fees for the 2015-16 academic year Highest net price: A list of the five percent of institutions that have the highest net price for the 2014-15 academic year Lowest tuition and required fees: A list of the ten percent of institutions that have the lowest tuition and required fees for the 2015-16 academic year Lowest net price: A list of the ten percent of institutions that have the lowest net price for the 2014-15 academic year Public, 4-year Private not-for-profit, 4-year Private for-profit, 4-year Public, 2-year Private not-for-profit, 2-year Private for-profit, 2-year Public, less-than-2-year Private not-for-profit, less-than-2-year Private for-profit, less-than-2-year For institutions that base institutional charges on an entire program (primarily career and vocational programs)The following lists were generated In institutions’ largest program areas Tuition and fees for career and vocational programs: A list of all institutions and the 2015-16 tuition and required fees for their largest program (e.g., the program with the highest enrollment)Net price for career and vocational programs: A list of all institutions and 2014-15 net price charged for their largest program (e.g., the program with the highest enrollment)Examples: Cosmetology and Related Personal Grooming Services Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services Somatic Bodywork and Related Therapeutic Services Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Technologies Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Health and Medical Administrative Services.

However, the determination to increase the fees and charges are made by the University administration and The University of Texas System Board of Regents. Students are assessed tuition and fees based on the location and programs in which they are enrolled and the degrees being pursued. Students enrolled in programs and pursing degrees that are a partnership arrangement with another university may be assessed the tuition and fees approved by the partnership. PERTINENT INFORMATIONBy statutory provision, the Board of Regents has the authority and power to prescribe, regulate and otherwise engage in and control tuition and registration fees as well as non-resident fee exemptions. No student may attend class, laboratory, or clinic until the student is officially registered with tuition and fees (or an installment payment) paid. Registration is not complete until tuition and fees are paid by the last business day, before first class day. When and if a student misses the official publicized tuition and fees payment deadline (known as Census Day as defined by the Texas Education Code ), the student shall be removed from enrollment by the Office of the University Registrar as approved by the Deans’ Council on 10-20-2009. UNIVERSITY PROCEDURETypically, at the first Board meeting of the calendar year, a schedule of tuition and fee rates will be presented to the Board of Regents for approval for the upcoming school year. The annual Tuition and Fee schedule, once approved by the Board of Regents will be utilized by the Health Science Center as appropriate when registering students for the new school year." }, { "docid": "D1607708#0", "title": "http://www.iup.edu/bursar/tuitionfees/graduate/\nGraduate Tuition and Fees", "text": "Graduate Tuition and Fees Tuition and Fee Cost Estimator Estimate your cost to attend IUP, including tuition, fees, and room and board.

As health has consumed a rising share of the provincial budget, the debate has increasingly focused on the sustainability of the health care system in a form that gives Ontarians what they want. The system is sustainable if we can answer “yes” to one of three questions. Are we willing to pay ever-increasing taxes to support it? If not, are we willing to squeeze out spending on all other public services — including education at all levels, social services, justice, infrastructure and economic development — to make room for rising health care costs? If not, are we willing to shift a significant portion of health care spending to individuals, regardless of their ability to pay? Public opinion surveys indicate that the answers to the first two questions are probably “no” (significant minorities offer a tepid “yes”) and to the third a resounding “no.” Politically, however, the answers are “no” to all three. Ontarians are unlikely to want either higher new taxes on individuals or cuts to non-health programs to accommodate the relentless increase in health care spending; none will even tolerate discussions that so much as hint at moving away from the public payer nature of financing hospital care and physicians’ services." }, { "docid": "D801035#0", "title": "http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_faqs_school_fees_6135.aspx\nDubai School Fees: A Complete Guide to School Fees in Dubai", "text": "Dubai Guide Dubai FAQs Dubai School Fees: A Complete Guide to School Fees in Dubai Here's a full list of the school fees in Dubai for parents to take note of Posted on7 January 2014Last updated on 16 January 2018For every parent living in Dubai with their family, school fees is a huge financial payment that is paid annually.

The disease first emerged as an epidemic in the 1970s, killing thousands of dogs before an effective vaccine became available. Although no longer present in epidemic proportions, parvovirus is still relatively common in unvaccinated dogs, and veterinary surgeons throughout the country regularly report outbreaks of the disease. Therefore, protecting your dog through vaccination is vitally important. Who is at risk? All unvaccinated animals, particularly those in high-risk areas and young puppies, are at risk. Parvovirus causes enteritis, it is seen in any age of dog from about four weeks of age, but most commonly in dogs less than one year old. How is it spread? The main source of infection is the faeces of infected dogs; the virus can also spread on shoes and clothing and on the coat and pads of dogs. Cause of canine parvovirus The cause of canine parvovirus disease is a highly contagious DNA-containing virus." } ]

Flag What is the incubation period of tuberculosis? Answer by Vanshira Confidence votes 77To answer the question, once the bacteria begin to multiply, it generally takes 2 to 12 weeks to either develop symptoms of TB or to show a positive PPD skin test. A latent infection can stay dormant in your lungs for years or decades, with no sign but a positive skin test, or it could convert to an active infection at any point. However, once it becomes known that you have a TB infection, active or inactive, it can be treated and eradicated with antibiotics. If successfully treated, the bacteria are not going to stay in you for the rest of your life; they will die. Since the skin test looks for the immune reaction to the bacteria, not the bacteria itself, the skin test will remain positive throughout your lifetime, even if the infection is completely cured.12 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

The virus manifests itself in two different forms. The more common form is the intestinal form, which is characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and lack of appetite (anorexia). The less common form is the cardiac form, which attacks the heart muscles of very young puppies, often leading to death. The majority of cases are seen in puppies that are between six weeks and six months old. The incidence of canine parvovirus infections has been reduced radically by early vaccination in young puppies. Signs & Symptoms of Parvo in Dogs The major symptoms associated with the intestinal form of a canine parvovirus infection include: Severe, bloody diarrhea Lethargy Anorexia Fever Vomiting Severe weight loss The intestinal form of CPV affects the body's ability to absorb nutrients, and an affected animal will quickly become dehydrated and weak from lack of protein and fluid absorption. The wet tissue of the mouth and eyes may become noticeably red and the heart may beat too rapidly. When your veterinarian palpates (examine by touch) your dog’s abdominal area, your dog may respond with pain or discomfort." }, { "docid": "D839910#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system\nPhotovoltaic system", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Photovoltaic power systems and components: Top: solar string inverter and other BOS components ·Solar array on rooftop in Hong Kong, China · BIPV on balcony in Helsinki, Finland Middle: rooftop system in Boston, United States · Westmill solar park in the United Kingdom · Dual axis tracker with CPV modules · Topaz, one of the world’s largest solar power station, as seen from space Bottom: commercial rooftop PV system of about 400 k W p ·Power plant on Mt. Komekura, Japan · Solar PV system on Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain-top A photovoltaic system, also PV system or solar power system, is a power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics. It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to change the electric current from DC to AC, as well as mounting, cabling, and other electrical accessories to set up a working system. It may also use a solar tracking system to improve the system's overall performance and include an integrated battery solution, as prices for storage devices are expected to decline. Strictly speaking, a solar array only encompasses the ensemble of solar panels, the visible part of the PV system, and does not include all the other hardware, often summarized as balance of system (BOS). Moreover, PV systems convert light directly into electricity and shouldn't be confused with other technologies, such as concentrated solar power or solar thermal, used for heating and cooling. PV systems range from small, rooftop-mounted or building-integrated systems with capacities from a few to several tens of kilowatts, to large utility-scale power stations of hundreds of megawatts. Nowadays, most PV systems are grid-connected, while off-grid or stand-alone systems only account for a small portion of the market. Operating silently and without any moving parts or environmental emissions, PV systems have developed from being niche market applications into a mature technology used for mainstream electricity generation. A rooftop system recoups the invested energy for its manufacturing and installation within 0.7 to 2 years and produces about 95 percent of net clean renewable energy over a 30-year service lifetime.

It is not only useful for travelling abroad but also act as an identity for a particular person. Different procedures are followed for applying passport and for applying tatkal passport. In this section let me explain about the rules and formalities that have to be followed for applying tatkal passport. If we apply for a fresh passport usually it will take 4-5 months including police verification and it will reach the applicant before 4 months. Apart from any urgent situation, if we are applying/renewing passport it will take same 4 months. SO to take the passport in a short interval of time Government of India introduced a new concept called as Tatkal passport which can be obtained in 7-12 days. At what situation tatkal passport can be applied-If suppose a person is suffering from serious health issues and he has to travel abroad for treatment or for any surgery in that case he can apply for tatkal passport or if a person has to travel abroad for some official purpose to sign a business deal or to get some knowledge transfer then he can apply for tatkal passport.

The disease most often strikes in pups between six and 20 weeks old, but older animals are sometimes also affected. A rare variant of the disease may be seen in very young (neonatal) puppies is myocarditis (an inflammation of the heart muscle). Cause Symptoms and complications Tests and diagnosis Treatment Prevention Additional resources Baker Institute and canine parvovirus Cause What causes parvovirus infection? The virus that causes the disease known as “parvo”, canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV), first emerged among dogs in Europe around 1976. By 1978 the virus had spread unchecked, causing a worldwide epidemic of myocarditis and inflammation in the intestines (gastroenteritis). We now know the virus is not limited to dogs, but is capable of causing infections in wild canines such as coyotes and wolves, and other wild animals, including foxes, raccoons and skunks. CPV is closely related to feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), a virus that has been know since the 1920s to infect cats and mink and other animals. CPV probably arose as the result of 2 or 3 genetic mutations in FPV that allowed it to expand its host range to infect dogs. Three decades after its first appearance, CPV strikes puppies with deadly disease much less frequently due to the development of effective vaccines in the late 1970s, but outbreaks still occur frequently, and vaccinating your dog is of the utmost importance." }, { "docid": "D3531033#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/incubation-period-for-shingles-being-contagious\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Incubation Period For Shingles Being Contagious", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Incubation Period For Shingles Being Contagious Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. J.

How Much Does a Dog CT Scan Cost? A dog CT scan can help look at different parts of the body such as the brain and the spine, similar to that of an x-ray. But the main difference will rely on the advanced technology that’s able to capture a three-dimensional view rather than a simple two-dimensional view as seen via an x-ray. During this scan, it will send fine x-ray beams through the body, which will then send the signals to the computer that processes the images. With the final images, tissue images will show in either a white, black or shades of gray, known as the gray scale. The number of gray colors will show the ability of the tissue to absorb the x-ray beam and will help identify tissues that are either normal or abnormal. A dog CT scan is often ordered for a dog that suffers from seizures, disorders, behavior changes or problems walking. How much does a dog CT scan cost? The cost of a dog CT scan will depend on the vet you use, where you live and the complexity of the study." } ]

Diagnostic imaging allows doctors to \"\"see\"\" inside the body by obtaining pictures of bones, organs, muscles, tendons, nerves and cartilage. Diagnostic imaging includes MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT (computed tomography), and PET (positron emission tomography), as well as Ultrasound, nuclear medicine, picture archival communication systems, digital mammography, and molecular imaging. These technologies enable physicians to diagnose diseases at earlier stages while avoiding more invasive and costly diagnostic procedures. While a significant technological advance, diagnostic imaging is also the fastest growing medical expenditure in the United States, with an annual 9% growth rate - more than twice that of general medical expenditures (4.1%) according to the American College of Radiology website (May 2004). The cost of diagnostic imaging is projected to increase 28% between 2000 and 2005 to nearly $100 billion annually, according to a Booz Allen Hamilton analysis. This FYI examines the reasons for increasing utilization and costs, notes the benefits, and suggests strategies for purchasers. If You Build It They Will Come - The Link Between Availability, Utilization and Costs Proliferation of Imaging Equipment: Many doctors - orthopedic surgeons, cardiologists, and neurologists, for example - are installing imaging equipment in their own facilities outside the hospital. General Electric, the largest supplier of MRI machines, expects the growth in MRI sales between 2001 and 2005 to occur outside the hospital.

Josh Haner/The New York Times A group of cardiologists recently had a proposition for Dr. Andrew Rosenblatt, who runs a busy heart clinic in San Francisco: Would he join them in buying a CT scanner, a $1 million machine that produces detailed images of the heart? The scanner would give Dr. Rosenblatt a new way to look inside patients’ arteries, enable his clinic to market itself as having the latest medical technology and provide extra revenue. Although tempted, Dr. Rosenblatt was reluctant. CT scans, which are typically billed at $500 to $1,500, have never been proved in large medical studies to be better than older or cheaper tests. And they expose patients to large doses of radiation, equivalent to at least several hundred X-rays, creating a small but real cancer risk. Dr. Rosenblatt worried that he and other doctors in his clinic would feel pressure to give scans to people who might not need them in order to pay for the equipment, which uses a series of X-rays to produce a composite picture of a beating heart. “If you have ownership of the machine,” he later recalled, “you’re going to want to utilize the machine.” He said no to the offer.

CT (Computed Tomography)The CT's main principal is based on X-rays passing through a body, being weakened by tissue. The weakening (or attenuation) differs per tissue, as dense tissues absorb more X-rays than less dense tissues. Also CT uses a specific measure to quantify the density of tissues, expressed in ''Hounsfield's units'' (HUs). Tissues with more HUs are denser than tissues with less HUs. CT scans are often used when a physician needs a quick diagnosis. In general CT's are used for bone related abnormalities and are great for imaging the circulatory system (using iodine contrasts). This is a CT image, notice that the fluid is black, this is due to the fact that X-rays pass easily through water. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)An MRI excites H protons in the tissue using Radio pulses. When the H protons are excited they gradually lose their energy (relaxation), this emits a weaker Radio pulse wich can be measured and quantified." }, { "docid": "D952890#0", "title": "https://www.newchoicehealth.com/procedures/chest-ct-scan\nChest CT Scan Cost and Procedure Information", "text": "A CT scan (also called a CAT scan) is a noninvasive, painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.

Here in Acadia National Park you will find granite cliffs side by side with sand and cobblestone beaches. Glacier-carved mountains rise from the sea, cupping deep lakes in their valleys. Here, too, are meadows and marshes and dense evergreen forests. Everywhere the ocean makes its presence felt, whether by sight, sound, or smell. Much of Acadia National Park's outstanding scenery is the result of glaciers carving through an east-west ridge of granite, leaving mountains separated by valleys. Many glaciers have covered Maine, and the last melted 11,000 years ago. Big blocks of ice were left behind forming lakes and ponds. As the glacier retreated, sea level rose and flooded the valley that is now the only fjord located on the eastern seaboard of the United States, Somes Sound. Today a mixed coniferous-deciduous forest cloaks the granite backbone of the island, but the work of the glaciers is still evident in U-Shaped valleys, the whale backed ridges of the mountains, and glacial debris called erratics." }, { "docid": "D1514002#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunder_Hole\nAcadia National Park", "text": "\"Acadia National Park From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Thunder Hole)navigation search Acadia National Park IUCN category II ( national park)Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse Location Hancock / Knox counties, Maine, United States Nearest city Bar Harbor Coordinates 44°21′N 68°13′WCoordinates: 44°21′N 68°13′WArea 49,052 acres (198.51 km 2) 871 acres (352 ha) private [1]Established July 8, 1916Visitors 3,509,271 (in 2017) [2]Governing body National Park Service Website Acadia National Park Acadia National Park is a United States national park located in the state of Maine, southwest of Bar Harbor.

This cross country road trip also features prominently in another room, one devoted to a large, handmade quilt entitled, “The Story of Hiram Hank Williams.” Towards the bottom of the quilt, a small panel offers a crudely stitched image of a blue car and this simple narrative: NEW YEARS DAY 1953 HIS CURRENT HIT SONG WAS I’LL NEVER GET OUT OF THIS WORLD ALIVE AT THE AGE OF 29 HANK WILLIAMS SR.

Nothing worked until my wife and daughter stepped onto the fake Route 66 in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure — and suddenly their interest piqued in the Mother Road. Photos: The real Route 66 inspirations for Disney's Cars Land In an attempt to close the deal on my dream vacation, I decided to search for the real-world inspirations behind the fictional town of Radiator Springs. Fortunately for me, the folks at Pixar Animation and Walt Disney Imagineering have already made the trip several times — all in the name of research, of course. Pixar's chief creative officer John Lasseter, a car junkie and son of a onetime Chevrolet parts manager, dreamed up the idea for what would eventually become the 2006 \"\"Cars\"\" movie after a family road trip along Route 66. Lasseter sent his Pixar team on several fact-finding tours along Route 66 to garner inspiration for the film from the real people and places along the fabled road. In his capacity as Imagineering's chief creative advisor, Lasseter also sent a Disney team out to explore Route 66 when Cars Land was still just in the planning stages at Disney California Adventure. The trips were led by historian and storyteller Michael Wallis, author of \"\"Route 66: The Mother Road\"\" and voice of the Sheriff in the \"\"Cars\"\" movies. \"\" We went through towns just like Radiator Springs,\"\" Wallis said. \"\" I took them out on the road and exposed them to the places they never would have found and people they never would have met. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D1093995#0", "title": "http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/05/travel/escapes/05american.html\nThe Other Grand Canyon", "text": "Escapes | American Journeys The Other Grand Canyon By JIM ATKINSON SEPT. 4, 2008MORE THAN FOLKLORE A naturally formed obelisk called the Lighthouse at Palo Duro Canyon near Amarillo, Tex. Canyon depths reach more than 800 feet. David Bowser for The New York Times THE nation’s second-largest canyon, Palo Duro, opens like the maw of a hungry crocodile from the flat high plains of the Texas Panhandle, a geological anomaly so improbable that many Texans still think of the place as a rumor, a bit of folklore passed down by generations of drunken cowboys. It took my wife and me 30-odd years, but we recently kept a marriage-long promise to ourselves to confirm the canyon’s existence with a drive through the extreme northwest of Texas that included not only Palo Duro State Park but a tour of its urban neighbor, Amarillo, a town that, despite the familiarity of its name, also remains a mystery even to most Texans. Not only is Palo Duro Canyon a runner-up to the Grand Canyon in size (120 miles long, 6 to 20 miles wide and more than 800 feet deep, compared with the big one’s dimensions of 277 miles long, 8 to 18 miles wide and a mile deep), but it comes pretty close in lonely, rugged, Butch-and-Sundance beauty, too — though with a completely different look. The Grand Canyon is a kaleidoscope of volcanic earth tones. Palo Duro (Spanish for “hard wood,” after the junipers that dominate the canyon’s foliage) is bright red and green in shades that at certain times of day look more artificial than natural — green from junipers and cottonwoods, live oaks and cactus that stud its surfaces; red because of its unusually iron-rich soil. If it’s surprising to find a canyon at all out this way, it’s doubly so to find one so fecund and alive with color. Our view of this natural pastiche from the deck of the Sorenson Cabin — one of three stone and timber bungalows, maintained and rented by the state park, that hang on the rim of the abyss — was as eye-pleasing as any we’ve seen at five-star resorts." }, { "docid": "D297728#0", "title": "https://www.gmpartsonline.net/blog/2016-cadillac-cts-v-the-most-powerful-cadillac-ever\n2016 Cadillac CTS-V: The Most Powerful Cadillac Ever", "text": "2016 Cadillac CTS-V: The Most Powerful Cadillac Ever Over the past few years, Cadillac has been challenged by its rivals in a class it used to dominate.

From October 7 through March 6 of each year, it is the first place to view a sunrise in the United States. Millions of years ago, the earth's tectonic and volcanic forces pushed the land upward to form the mountains on the island. Then, during ice ages that followed, huge 1 - 2 mile high and slow moving glaciers sheared off the top leaving the rounded off appearance we see today. Largely composed of pink granite, it is covered with spruce and pitch pine forests, tiny sub alpine plants (such as cinquefoil), short gnarled trees, wild blueberries, and boulders of all sizes and shapes. The Park Loop Road winds approximately 3.5 miles to the summit and provides several key spots along the way where you can stop and take in the spectacular panoramic views. On the northwestern side you will see Eagle Lake, Western Bay, and further inland. To the south, you will see the Cranberry Islands. To the northeast lies Bar Harbor, the Porcupine Islands, Bar Island, and in the distance, Schoodic Peninsula on the mainland.

First thing what I would do is remove the air intake hose and look at the throttle body assembly and see if it is full of carbon. If it is. clean it up real good, purchase some Throttle body cleaner and spray away. The P0101 is a MAF sensor, I suspect that is dirty too, purchase some CNC MAF cleaner, and spray the filaments Do a search on how to clean properly. Then put everything back together, disconnect the negative battery cable for 15mins and reattch or use the scan tool if you still have it and clear the codes and drive. If the CEL comes back on, check the codes again, if they are the same, i would replace the throttle body assembly, and go from there.3 people found this helpful." }, { "docid": "D2488093#0", "title": "http://www.itemautoparts.com/index.htm\n.", "text": "Item Auto Parts - Automotive Headlamp Assembly Replacement Canister Vent Solenoid 1999 How To Fix A Ford Ranger Caprice Power Window Switch.

One of the main issues associated with the use of ISF slag was that zinc and lead ions are known to cause retardation of the cement setting process. The effect of various inorganic additives to attempt to offset the retardation is reported. The previously favoured explanation for the mechanism of retardation could not fully explain observations made during this and other studies. Based on evidence gathered during this work, a detailed mechanism is proposed for the retardation of setting caused by heavy metal ions such as zinc and lead, involving the conversion of a metal hydroxide to a metal hydroxy-species. This conversion reaction consumes calcium and hydroxide ions from the surrounding solution and delays their supersaturation and hence the precipitation of CSH gel and Ca (OH) 2.

The term glass, in popular usage, is often used to refer only to this type of material, which is familiar from use as window glass and in glass bottles. Of the many silica-based glasses that exist, ordinary glazing and container glass is formed from a specific type called soda-lime glass, composed of approximately 75% silicon dioxide (Si O 2 ), sodium oxide (Na 2 O) from sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ), calcium oxide, also called lime (Ca O), and several minor additives.

Approximately 30% of all minerals are silicates and some geologists estimate that 90% of the Earth's crust is made up of silicates. With oxygen and silicon the two most abundant elements in the earth's crust, the abundance of silicates is no real surprise. The basic chemical unit of silicates is the ( Si O 4) tetrahedron shaped anionic group with a negative four charge (-4). The central silicon ion has a charge of positive four while each oxygen has a charge of negative two (-2) and thus each silicon-oxygen bond is equal to one half (1/2) the total bond energy of oxygen. This condition leaves the oxygens with the option of bonding to another silicon ion and therefore linking one ( Si O 4 ) tetrahedron to another and another, etc.. The complicated structures that these silicate tetrahedrons form is truly amazing. They can form as single units, double units, chains, sheets, rings and framework structures. The different ways that the silicate tetrahedrons combine is what makes the Silicate Class the largest, the most interesting and the most complicated class of minerals. The Silicates are divided into the following subclasses, not by their chemistries, but by their structures: Nesosilicates (single tetrahedrons)Sorosilicates (double tetrahedrons)Inosilicates (single and double chains)Cyclosilicates (rings)Phyllosilicates (sheets)Tectosilicates (frameworks)The Nesosilicate Subclass (single tetrahedrons)The simplest of all the silicate subclasses, this subclass includes all silicates where the ( Si O 4 ) tetrahedrons are unbonded to other tetrahedrons.

( June 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)From a terminological point of view, geopolymer cement [1] is a binding system that hardens at room temperature, like regular Portland cement. If a geopolymer compound requires heat setting it may not be called geopolymer cement but rather geopolymer binder. List of the minerals, chemicals used for making geopolymer cements Geopolymer cement is being developed and utilised as an alternative to conventional Portland cement for use in transportation, infrastructure, construction and offshore applications. It relies on minimally processed natural materials or industrial byproducts to significantly reduce its carbon footprint, while also being very resistant to many common concrete durability issues. Production of geopolymer cement requires an aluminosilicate precursor material such as metakaolin or fly ash, a user-friendly alkaline reagent [2] (for example, sodium or potassium soluble silicates with a molar ratio MR Si O 2 : M 2 O ≥ 1.65, M being Na or K) and water (See the definition for \"\"user-friendly\"\" reagent below). Room temperature hardening is more readily achieved with the addition of a source of calcium cations, often blast furnace slag. Geopolymer cements can be formulated to cure more rapidly than Portland-based cements; some mixes gain most of their ultimate strength within 24 hours." }, { "docid": "D1580201#0", "title": "http://www.skamol.com/production/materials/calcium-silicate\nCalcium silicate", "text": "Calcium silicate Calcium silicate consists primarily of two elements: quicklime and microsilica, where microsilica initially was a waste product from the production of silicon metal and ferrosilicon. Microsilica became a rather costly waste product and therefore, the desire to recycle the material arose in the silicon industry. Skamol was among the pioneers in finding a valuable use of microsilica. The first idea was to use the waste material in connection with moler and this development process led to a special insulating board combining the two materials. For this effort, Skamol received an international development award. Product development led to Skamol calcium silicate boards The further development, however, went in a completely different direction without moler. Instead it was found that microsilica and quicklime was a good combination, and the direction was set towards the Skamol calcium silicate systems we know today. Our portfolio of calcium silicate boards utilize the unique insulating properties of the raw materials: They can withstand high temperatures, and are lightweight materials that are very easy to work with. Since the beginning, we have continuously developed our calcium silicate systems and we continue to find new uses across segments including a wide variety of applications within building and industry applications." }, { "docid": "D1344966#0", "title": "http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-914-Spark-Plug-srch.html\nPORSCHE 914 SPARK PLUG", "text": "\"PORSCHE 914 SPARK PLUGCan't find what you need?

In cooling systems, corrosion causes two basic problems. The first and most obvious is the failure of equipment with the resultant cost of replacement and plant downtime. The second is decreased plant efficiency due to loss of heat transfer-the result of heat exchanger fouling caused by the accumulation of corrosion products. Corrosion occurs at the anode, where metal dissolves. Often, this is separated by a physical distance from the cathode, where a reduction reaction takes place. An electrical potential difference exists between these sites, and current flows through the solution from the anode to the cathode. This is accompanied by the flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode through the metal. Figure 24-1 illustrates this process. For steel, the typical anodic oxidation reaction is: Fe = Fe 2 + + 2e ¯This reaction is accompanied by the following: Fe 2 + + 2OH ¯ = Fe (OH) 2The ferrous hydroxide then combines with oxygen and water to produce ferric hydroxide, Fe (OH) 3, which becomes common iron rust when dehydrated to Fe 2 O 3." }, { "docid": "D489707#0", "title": "http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Straw-Bale-House\nHow to Build a Straw Bale House", "text": "\"Edit Article How to Build a Straw Bale House Building a straw bale and plaster house is a low-cost and environmentally friendly way to create a home.

Peter Snyder Hospitality Institute of Technology and Management670 Transfer Road, Suite 21ASt. Paul, MN 55114Introduction The characteristics of water used in the production and preparation of food are quite important. National, state and local regulatory authorities require the use of potable water in food production. Potable water standards are defined by the Environmental Protection Agency as listed by National Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations that deal with health. The safety of water for human consumption will always be the most important consideration. Characteristics of Water Hardness Potable water, however, may possess soluble minerals such as calcium and magnesium that are of significant importance. These ions form precipitates with bicarbonates in water when it is heated, and with sulfates when water is evaporated from solution. This phenomenon is known as water hardness. The hardness of water may be expressed quantitatively in terms of parts per million (ppm) for calcium, ppm of calcium carbonate, and grains calcium carbonate per gallon of water. Based on grains of carbonate per gallon, water is classified as follows: Soft: 1 to 4 grains per gallon Medium: 5 to 10 grains per gallon Hard: 11 to 20 grains per gallon Hard water is also sometimes classified as temporarily hard or permanently hard." }, { "docid": "D1020207#0", "title": "http://www.madehow.com/Volume-6/Silicon.html\nSilicon", "text": "\"Silicon Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Background Second only to oxygen, silicon is the most abundant element in Earth's crust. It is found in rocks, sand, clays and soils, combined with either oxygen as silicon dioxide, or with oxygen and other elements as silicates. Silicon's compounds are also found in water, in the atmosphere, in many plants, and even in certain animals. Silicon is the fourteenth element of the periodic table and is a Group IVA element, along with carbon germanium, tin and lead. Pure silicon is a dark gray solid with the same crystalline structure as diamond. Its chemical and physical properties are similar to this material. Silicon has a melting point of 2570° F (1410° C), a boiling point of 4271° F (2355° C), and a density of 2.33 g/cm3. When silicon is heated it reacts with the halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) to form halides. It reacts with certain metals to form silicides and when heated in an electric furnace with carbon, a wear resistant ceramic called silicon carbide is produced. Hydrofluoric acid is the only acid that affects silicon." }, { "docid": "D19343#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral\nMineral", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Mineral (disambiguation). Crystals of serandite, natrolite, analcime, and aegirine: Mont Saint-Hilaire, La Vallée-du-Richelieu RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound, [1] usually of crystalline form and not produced by life processes. A mineral has one specific chemical composition, whereas a rock can be an aggregate of different minerals or mineraloids. The study of minerals is called mineralogy. As of March 2018, there are more than 5,500 known mineral species; [2] 5,312 of these have been approved by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA). [ 3]Minerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species, which were determined by the mineral's geological environment when formed. Changes in the temperature, pressure, or bulk composition of a rock mass cause changes in its minerals. Within a mineral species there may be variation in physical properties or minor amounts of impurities that are recognized by mineralogists or wider society as a mineral variety, [4] for example amethyst, a purple variety of the mineral species quartz.

They are mostly likely ancestors of the Cocopah and other Yuman-speaking tribes in the region. The Patayan peoples practiced floodplain agriculture where possible and relied heavily on hunting and gathering. The first significant contact of the Cocopah with Europeans and Africans probably occurred in 1540, when the Spanish explorer Hernando de Alarcón sailed into the Colorado River delta. The Cocopah were specifically mentioned by name by the expedition of Juan de Oñate in 1605." }, { "docid": "D1410839#0", "title": "http://www.winnememwintu.us/who-we-are/\nWho We Are", "text": "Who We Are In our language Winnemem Wintu translates to Middle Water People as the Mc Cloud River is bounded by the Upper Sacramento to the West and the Pit River to the East. We were born from water, we are of the water, and we fight to protect it. The Winnemem Wintu tribe is indigenous to northern California and has been formally recognized by the California Native American Heritage Commission, an agency of the State of California with responsibility for preserving and protecting Native American sites and cultural resources in California. We once numbered approximately 14,000; by 1910, after several decades of conflict with white settlers, that number had plummeted to 400. Today the tribe’s population is approximately 150. Archeological and ethnographic studies indicate that we have lived in the Mc Cloud River area of northern California for at least 6,000 years, but our traditional knowledge and stories provide evidence we have been here for far longer. Our name means “Middle Water People,” and we are intimately connected to the Mc Cloud River, Mount Shasta, and the surrounding meadows. As Chief Caleen Sisk explains, “ [O]ur beginning of life comes from Mt. Shasta, so all those stories up and down the river have meaning – from Yellow Jacket Mountain, to Fox Mountain, to the Sucker Pools, all these have stories that belong to the Winnemem people and songs that go with them.” Recognized by the Federal Government The U. S. government first recognized the Winnemem Wintu in 1851, when it entered into the Cottonwood Treaty. Through this treaty, the Winnemem Wintu and several other Native American tribes ceded their homelands to the United States in exchange for the creation of a 35-square mile reservation." }, { "docid": "D1899187#0", "title": "https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/some-native-americans-defy-us-law-on-eagle-feathers/2013/02/21/057349ce-7ad4-11e2-9a75-dab0201670da_story.html\nSome Native Americans defy U.S. law on eagle feathers", "text": "Angelica Chavis, a third-year law student in North Carolina, received her prized eagle feather from a tribal elder at age 7, when she was crowned Little Miss Lumbee. And she’s planning to keep it, even if it’s against federal law. “It’s something I’ve earned, and it was given to me as an honor,” said Chavis, 23. She and other members of the Lumbee Tribe, the largest in North Carolina, say they’re feeling like second-class citizens these days because of a new Obama administration policy. The Justice Department said in October that it would allow Native Americans to possess or use eagle feathers for religious or cultural purposes. But there was a catch: The new rule applies only to members of federally recognized tribes, and the Lumbee Tribe is not among them. Consequently, the Lumbees and members of other non-federally recognized tribes who own feathers are violating the Bald Eagle Protection Act, which makes it a crime to possess a feather without a federal permit. It’s another example of the growing disparities among the nation’s tribes. The Lumbees want the feather policy changed to include all Indians.

The occupiers were demanding a visit by Secretary of the Interior to discuss possession of the surplus mid-bay property.9 Laws and Programs Passed for Indians After the Occupation of Alcatraz Occupation set the stage for positive Indian programs Dr. Dean Chavers • June 9, 2017As of 1969, Congress had passed 5,000 laws for Indians. The effects of the laws had been to reduce the role of Indian tribal leaders and enhance the power of federal officials to regulate Indian people and their lives. The Indian occupation of Alcatraz Island in 1969 set the stage for the development of positive Indian programs. We were against the “ations”—relocation and termination. Alcatraz led to the most enlightened Indian policy of the last 100 years. President Richard Nixon said in July 1970 that Indians should have no more termination and should have self-rule. Ada Deer’s contributions to changing Indian policy may have been the most important of all the visionaries. She quit her job teaching and spent the next four years doing everything she could to persuade Congress to reverse the termination of her tribe, the Menominee.

Native American Rights In the United States, persons of Native American descent occupy a unique legal position. On theone hand, they are U. S. citizens and are entitled to the same legal rights and protections under the Constitution that all other U. S. citizens enjoy. On the other hand, they are members of self-governing tribes whose existence far predates the arrival of Europeans on American shores. Theyare the descendants of peoples who had their own inherent rights—rights that required no validation or legitimation from the newcomers who found their way onto their soil. These combined, and in many ways conflicting, legal positions have resulted in a complexrelationship between Native American tribes and the federal government. Although the historicevents and specific details of each tribe's situation vary considerably, the legal rights and statusmaintained by Native Americans are the result of their shared history of wrestling with the U. S.government over such issues as tribal sovereignty, shifting government policies, treaties that weremade and often broken, and conflicting latter-day interpretations of those treaties. The result today is that although Native Americans enjoy the same legal rights as every other U. S. citizen, they alsoretain unique rights in such areas as hunting and fishing, water use, and Gaming operations. In general, these rights are based on the legal foundations of tribal sovereignty, treaty provisions, andthe \"\"reserved rights\"\" doctrine, which holds that Native Americans retain all rights not explicitlyabrogated in treaties or other legislation.

[ 4]These basic provisions have been changed or clarified by various federal laws over the history of the United States. Regulate historically meant facilitate, rather than control or direct in the more modern sense. Therefore, the Congress of these United States was to be the facilitator of commerce between the states and the tribes. [ 5]These Constitutional provisions, and subsequent interpretations by the Supreme Court (see below), are today often summarized in three principles of U. S.

In 1848, Indians in California outnumbered whites by 10 to one — can you imagine that — walking out of your house today and hiking to your favorite park or beach in an 1848 California countryside? By 1870 (22 years later) it was estimated there were only 30,000 Indians left living in California mostly as a result of the California Gold Rush and the onslaught of white immigrant settlers as their foreign diseases and U. S. government-sanctioned genocide were systematically wiping out the California indigenous populations — better known today as ethnic cleansing — 120,000 California aboriginal Indians were lost in this 22-year period. By 1900 it was estimated that less than 16,000 California Indians had survived the invasion of their homelands (some 134,000 California Indians were lost during this 52-year period while the United States Government was in control of California). It is believed the Kumeyaay (Tipay-Iipay-Diegueño) Indians — one of the largest and strongest pre-contact tribal groups in California — had only 1,000 surviving tribal members at the turn of the 20th century (1900).

By Marc Dadigan REDDING - Caleen Sisk, the chief and spiritual leader of the Winnemem Wintu tribe, wore a traditional basket hat - representing clear thinking - to her meeting with congressional candidate Jim Reed. Amid the din of wheezy coffee grinders at Westside Java & Caffe in Redding, Reed pleaded with Sisk: End her tribe’s longstanding battle against the federal government’s proposal to raise the Shasta Dam by 18.5 feet - a $1 billion retrofit that stands to flood or damage 40 sacred tribal sites used for ceremonies and healings. If elected, Reed told her, he would introduce legislation to grant federal recognition to the Winnemem. ( SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO)The Winnemem Wintu is a ghost tribe, lacking official recognition from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs. The tribe’s members share their limbo status with at least half of this state’s 150,000 California Indians, according to the California Native American Heritage Commission. As a result, their cultural identities and rights may be subject to political bargaining. California Watch was present at the tribe’s meeting with Reed last October, part of a contributor’s research on challenges the Winnemem Wintu face in their quest to preserve their traditional religion and cultural rites. For the 125 remaining tribe members, federal recognition would restore not just scholarships and monetary benefits, but also less tangible changes the tribe covets, including added legal clout to protect their sacred sites.

[ 1] [2] [3]Description [ edit]In the United States, the Indian tribe is a fundamental unit, and the constitution grants Congress the right to interact with tribes. More specifically, the Supreme Court of the United States in United States v. Sandoval, 231 U.

[ 4] Federal tribal recognition grants to tribes the right to certain benefits, and is largely controlled by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). While trying to determine which groups were eligible for federal recognition in the 1970s, government officials became acutely aware of the need for consistent procedures. To illustrate, several federally unrecognized tribes encountered obstacles in bringing land claims; United States v. Washington (1974) was a court case that affirmed the fishing treaty rights of Washington tribes; and other tribes demanded that the U. S. government recognize aboriginal titles. All the above culminated in the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975, which legitimized tribal entities by partially restoring Native American self-determination. Following the decisions made by the Indian Claims Commission, the BIA in 1978 published final rules with procedures that groups had to meet to secure federal tribal acknowledgment." }, { "docid": "D3546049#0", "title": "https://www.revolvy.com/main/index.php?s=Yokut%20people&item_type=topic\nYokut people", "text": "\"The Yokuts (previously known as Mariposas [4]) are an ethnic group of Native Americans native to central California.

The two main kinds of domesticated camels are the Bactrian, which has two humps, and the dromedary or Arabian camel, which only has one. A camel's humps, which consist of fibrous tissue and fat, weigh up to 80 pounds each and when food is in short supply, the camel's body metabolizes the fat in the humps for nourishment.

Flag Where do camels live? Answer by Scott A. Butler Confidence votes 25.8KA British multi-genre author, wordsmith, blogger and tea addict. He is also a co-author of 'In Memory: A Tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett'. There are two types of camels in the world: the bactrian and Arabian. The bactrian camel has two humps and is found in the deserts of eastern and northern Asia, specifically the Gobi. The Arabian, as its name suggests, is found in Arabian deserts, and is the one hump variety. Few of these animals of either variety are found in the wild any longer. Camels also roam the Australian deserts. They were imported to Australia to help with colonisation by transporting goods and people across the vast Australian deserts and plains." }, { "docid": "D2819546#0", "title": "http://www.thefreedictionary.com/camel\ncamel", "text": "camel Also found in: Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Financial, Acronyms, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia .cam·el (kăm′əl)n.1.

It is common knowledge that dromedary camels can survive for many days in the hot desert without access to water. However, the role of the camel's hump in water preservation is not well understood by most people. Most of us, when looking at camels in the zoo, still imagine the humps to be filled with water. But what is the truth behind the myth - what secrets are hidden beneath the camel's skin?

Alexander travelled down the Nile from Memphis to Lake Mareotis, where he chose the site for the city that became Alexandria. Then he continued along the coast to Paraitonion (modern Mersa Matrouh) before striking southwards into the desert towards Siwa, using camels as his pack animals.\"\" F2 \"\"Further to your last answer (Q&A, July 17), I am unsure what Mr Pailing means by Alexander the Great's being the first literary reference to camels in Egypt, but by Alexander's time the Old Testament was already an antiquity. In Genesis both Abram (xii, 16) and the Ishmaelites (xxxvii, 25) apparently took their own camels to that country. Additionally, in Exodus, in the description of the fifth plague, Moses is told to promise Pharaoh upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.\"\" F3So, whilst in my original LBC essay I looked at a range of issues such as authentic ancient adoption practices, marriage customs, semi-nomadism, and private armies, I will concentrate here on the sole issue of where did Abraham (or Abram as he then was) get his camel? Given the semi-legitimate questions of sceptics and enquirers it could also be asked \"\"where did Pharaoh get his from?\"\".

That is 21 hands tall. It would be a normal 15h horse plus a 6h pony in height. The tallest living horse is 20h, I believe. The hump can be a foot or two taller, depending on how fat the camel is (up to 27 hands, so basically two horses tall at the hump) Bactrain camels (two humped) are 7 foot at the hump, so use the things above.

The bactrian is native to Central Asia, while the dromedary comes from the Middle East and northern Africa. Both species have very similar diets and eating habits, regardless of where they live. General Diet Rules Camels are herbivores and will graze—eat constantly throughout the day—just as sheep do. Camels are also ruminants, which means they eat food, then regurgitate it and chew it before swallowing one last time. This is why camels have four stomachs, to help them process food properly. Because they live in the desert, where food might be scarce, they move constantly while eating. This actually helps preserve vegetation so no area is completely degraded by constant eating. What They Actually Eat Food choices are limited in the desert, so the camel is not exactly picky. Whatever twigs, stems and green shoots are available—except poisonous plants, which the camel can recognize—he will eat." }, { "docid": "D806407#0", "title": "http://www.desertusa.com/animals/camel.html\nCamel", "text": "\"Camel Camelus A tall desert-dwelling creature, the camel has become an icon of the Asian and African deserts. Generally the camel is a pleasant animal. If well treated, the domestic camel is very docile and easy to manage. If ill-treated, they can become very stubborn. Camels can easily be identified by the unique one or two humps on their back and their long necks. When running, a camel can reach a speed up to 40 mph in short bursts, 25 mph for longer periods of time. Camels do not have hooves. The foot of a camel is made up of a large leathery pad, with two toes at the front, the bones of which are embedded in the foot. The padding makes the gait of a camel silent, and keeps it from sinking in the sand. The camel also has pads of thick leathery skin, on its leg joints, enabling it to kneel or lay in the hot sand." }, { "docid": "D56794#0", "title": "http://goafrica.about.com/od/africanwildlife/ss/The-Camel-In-Africa-Camel-Facts.htm\nFun Facts About African Animals: The Camel", "text": "Inspiration Adventure Fun Facts About African Animals: The Camel By Anouk Zijlma Updated 03/17/18Share Pin Email•••Although we more typically associate camels with the deserts of the Middle East, there are millions of these large-eyed ungulates living in Africa. Most of them are found in North Africa, either in countries like Egypt and Morocco that border the Sahara Desert; or in Horn of Africa nations like Ethiopia and Djibouti. There are three species of camel found worldwide, and the African species is more properly known as the dromedary or Arabian camel. While other camel species have two humps, the dromedary is easily identified by its single hump. Dromedaries have been domesticated for at least 4,000 years, and no longer occur naturally in the wild. Over the last four millennia, they have become indispensable to the people of North Africa. Camels are used for transport, and for their meat, milk, wool, and leather. They are well-adapted to waterless environments and are therefore far better suited to life in the desert than conventional working animals like donkeys and horses. Their resilience made it possible for North African ancestors to establish trade routes across the Sahara Desert, linking West Africa to North Africa.

Zaslow, Extension District Director, North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service ( Note from NH: Though the methods below are useful, there are situations where chemical changes to the materials have occurred and NOTHING will restore the material to its original condition. For example, streaky or milky-colored stains on shower doors are often permanent because the glass has actually been etched by the reaction of water-borne chemicals. These can be prevented through the installation of water softening equipment or (for the thrifty) simply wiping the doors dry after use. Also, plated plumbing fixtures that have become discolored can be cleaned, but often (especially on cheap brass plating or chrome) the coating has been destroyed and no amount of cleaning can restore it. In my personal experience with mineral accumulations around faucets and on shower doors, I can unequivocally say that the NUMBER ONE way to prevent mineral deposits is to wipe off standing water or droplets , especially around the bases of faucets and on your glass shower doors (with a towel of squeegee). Then you'll have a much easier time keeping mineral deposits under control! ! Hard water is the cause of many problems... and makes others worse!If you have hard water but don't have a water treatment system, you probably have more than your share of scum, film, and lime deposits on a number of household surfaces.

When people with celiac disease eat food containing gluten, their bodies react by damaging the small intestine. Uncomfortable symptoms such as abdominal pain often occur. The damage to the small intestine also interferes with the body's ability to make use of the nutrients in food. About 1 percent of the total population has celiac disease. It is more common in people with type 1 diabetes. An estimated 10 percent of people with type 1 also have celiac. The only way to manage celiac disease is to completely avoid all foods that have gluten. Following a gluten-free diet will prevent permanent damage to your body and will help you feel better.

If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction damages your small intestine's lining and prevents absorption of some nutrients (malabsorption). The intestinal damage often causes diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, bloating and anemia, and can lead to serious complications. In children, malabsorption can affect growth and development, in addition to the symptoms seen in adults. There's no cure for celiac disease — but for most people, following a strict gluten-free diet can help manage symptoms and promote intestinal healing. Symptoms The signs and symptoms of celiac disease can vary greatly and are different in children and adults. The most common signs for adults are diarrhea, fatigue and weight loss. Adults may also experience bloating and gas, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, and vomiting. However, more than half of adults with celiac disease have signs and symptoms that are not related to the digestive system, including: Anemia, usually resulting from iron deficiency Loss of bone density (osteoporosis) or softening of bone (osteomalacia)Itchy, blistery skin rash (dermatitis herpetiformis)Damage to dental enamel Mouth ulcers Headaches and fatigue Nervous system injury, including numbness and tingling in the feet and hands, possible problems with balance, and cognitive impairment Joint pain Reduced functioning of the spleen (hyposplenism)Acid reflux and heartburn Children In children under 2 years old, typical signs and symptoms of celiac disease include: Vomiting Chronic diarrhea Swollen belly Failure to thrive Poor appetite Muscle wasting Older children may experience: Diarrhea Constipation Weight loss Irritability Short stature Delayed puberty Neurological symptoms, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, headaches, lack of muscle coordination and seizures Dermatitis herpetiformis Dermatitis herpetiformis is an itchy, blistering skin disease that stems from intestinal gluten intolerance." }, { "docid": "D2314648#0", "title": "http://articles.mercola.com/celiac-disease/what-is-celiac-disease.aspx\nWhat Is Celiac Disease in the First Place?", "text": "What Is Celiac Disease in the First Place?07,563 views Story at-a-glance Celiac disease is defined as an autoimmune condition wherein patients experience a reaction in the small intestine after consuming products with gluten Refractory celiac disease is also linked to gliadin, a component of gluten that works together with similar proteins in barley and rye, causing the immune reaction Celiac disease is defined as an autoimmune 1 condition wherein patients experience a reaction in the small intestine after consuming products with gluten.

This causes serious damage and problems that can go beyond the digestive system. To prevent that, you need to be on a gluten -free diet. Once gluten is out of the picture, your small intestine will start to heal. But because celiac disease is so hard to diagnose, people can have it for years. This long-term damage to the small intestine may start to affect other parts of the body. Many of these problems will go away with a gluten-free diet.

Though gluten tolerance is a symptom of Celiac disease, the latter refers to a damaged intestinal mucosa brought about by a inherited gene, and avoiding glutens can help control the disease. On the other hand, some individuals can have gluten intolerance without having Celiac disease and damage to the intestines. What is Celiac Disease in more detail, please Celiac disease (CD), also called Celiac Sprue or Autoimmune Gluten Intolerance, appears to be a genetically inherited disorder which sets off an autoimmune attack in the body. In other words, if you have it, you probably have ancestors or family members with it, too. This attack causes atrophy damage in the small intestine, and that, in turn, results in poor absorption of nutrients in the food you eat. The malabsorption can lead to malnutrition and other maladies. Some CD individuals can have less severe symptoms than others, and vice versa. What causes CD to show its face? Stress can cause Celiac to reveal itself, and eating certain types of storage protein, aka gluten, can set off the autoimmune response." }, { "docid": "D1039749#0", "title": "http://www.everydayhealth.com/digestive-health/experts-how-do-food-allergies-affect-digestion.aspx\nHow Do Food Allergies Affect Digestion?", "text": "\"Thinkstock Everyday Health: The rates of food allergies continue to rise.

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology (2) suggests that only 8% have normal guts after starting gluten-free diets.

Your small intestine is lined with tiny, finger-shaped tissues called villi. The villi create a large surface that absorbs vitamins, sugars, and other nutrients as food passes through the small intestine. When a person who has celiac disease eats gluten, the villi flatten out and the intestinal lining becomes damaged. This decreases the area that can absorb nutrients. In some cases, this inability to absorb nutrients may be bad enough to stunt growth and weaken bones. The loss of vitamins and minerals may lead to other problems, such as anemia, osteoporosis, or growth delays in children. People who have celiac disease may have periods when their symptoms seem worse. Or symptoms may sometimes not be noticed at all.

Symptoms of celiac disease can range from the classic features, such as diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition, to latent symptoms such as isolated nutrient deficiencies but no gastrointestinal symptoms. The disease mostly affects people of European (especially Northern European) descent, but recent studies show that it also affects Hispanic, Black and Asian populations as well. Those affected suffer damage to the villi (shortening and villous flattening) in the lamina propria and crypt regions of their intestines when they eat specific food-grain antigens (toxic amino acid sequences) that are found in wheat, rye, and barley.

If you know or love someone with celiac disease, you might be wondering what they can and can’t eat. The celiac disease diet is essentially a gluten-free diet. Celiacs must remove all gluten – a protein found in wheat, barley and rye – from their diet as even a crumb of gluten can make them sick and cause an autoimmune response. Unfortunately, gluten is everywhere. It’s not only found things like wheat, barley and rye, but also in a slew of other ingredients that may be derived from these ingredients. Gluten goes by many names and is hidden in many products you know and use regularly. According to Dr. Alessio Fasano, a leading celiac researcher and author of Gluten Freedom, celiac disease afflicts 1 in 133 people in the U. S., but many people with celiac disease remain undiagnosed.

While “overt” celiac may manifest with cramping, bloating, gas, and diarrhea, the reality is that most cases are “silent,” meaning there are no obvious symptoms, digestive or otherwise. Even larger numbers of people have the “latent” form, meaning their immune systems are predisposed to develop a response to gluten when triggered by certain conditions. Gluten sensitivity is so common now that we even have a CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code for it. We are now understanding that gluten has many more far-reaching effects than previously believed, and indicators of gluten sensitivity and celiac disease can show up in the form of low energy, fatigue, brain fog, skin rashes, numbness in the extremities, fibromyalgia, muscle and joint pain — even problems with coordination. And all forms, whether overt or silent, can have devastating long-term consequences all over the body. As with leaky gut, dysbiosis, and other digestive disorders, poor nutrient absorption is just one concern. Over time, gluten-sensitive women who continue to eat gluten increase their risk for a host of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, including osteoporosis, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism, and more.

Even though many varieties can be good for your health, contaminants such as mercury and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), found in many types of fish, may be detrimental to your health. But it gets even more complicated. Beyond choosing fish based on healthfulness (considering things like abundance of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and low concentrations of mercury and contaminants), consuming fish also has an environmental impact. Many environmental advocates have reported that the mismanagement of many large-scale fishing operations has resulted in overfishing (and the plummeting of some wild fish populations). Fish farming, one alternative to wild fish, may help protect these populations, but other groups claim that fish farming has led to other problems, like the overuse of antibiotics to control disease. Trying to keep track of which types of fish are healthy and safe—not only for you, but also for the environment—can be daunting, to say the least. And here’s why: Making the right choice when it comes to fish means looking for fish that have the highest nutritional content, lowest levels of contaminants, and, for those concerned with the environment, the lightest impact on the planet.

Hennessey, MD Leonard Wartofsky, MDWhat is hyperthyroidism? The thyroid gland, located at the front of your neck, makes hormones that control your metabolism—the way your body uses energy. Hyperthyroidism, also called overactive thyroid, occurs when your thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone. Too much thyroid hormone speeds up many of the body’s functions. If untreated, an overactive thyroid can lead to other health concerns, such as heart problems. The main cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves’ disease, in which the immune system attacks the thyroid. Less often, hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid has one or more nodules (lumps) that make too much thyroid hormone. What is the treatment of hyperthyroidism? The goal of treatment is to lower the amount of thyroid hormones.

Infectious organisms — including bacteria, viruses and parasites — or their toxins are the most common causes of food poisoning. Infectious organisms or their toxins can contaminate food at any point of processing or production. Contamination can also occur at home if food is incorrectly handled or cooked. Food poisoning symptoms, which can start within hours of eating contaminated food, often include nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Most often, food poisoning is mild and resolves without treatment. But some people need to go to the hospital. Symptoms Food poisoning symptoms vary with the source of contamination. Most types of food poisoning cause one or more of the following signs and symptoms: Nausea Vomiting Watery or bloody diarrhea Abdominal pain and cramps Fever Signs and symptoms may start within hours after eating the contaminated food, or they may begin days or even weeks later.

If you have enough folic acid around the time you conceive your baby, then there’s less risk of your baby being born with neural tube defects such as spina bifida.

When you do become pregnant, continue to take the supplement each day for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. If you’ve just found out you are pregnant and had not been taking folic acid supplements, start them right away and continue to take them until the 12th week of pregnancy. Folic acid supplements are available over the counter in pharmacies and some supermarkets.

The choice needs to be something that will be safe for the baby, safe for the mom and also something that will not cause difficulties with the ability to breastfeed by decreasing milk production. The U. S. National Library of Medicine database Lact Med states that ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) is a preferred agent to treat pain or inflammation in breastfeeding mothers. However, you might want to talk to your doctor or your baby's pediatrician before deciding whether ibuprofen is the best choice for you. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Ibuprofen Safety Ibuprofen is excreted in breast milk, although the amount is very small. According to Lact Med, a woman taking ibuprofen in over-the-counter recommended amounts would deliver far less than the recommended single dose of ibuprofen for an infant over a 24-hour period. The Lact Med ibuprofen fact sheet further notes that adverse effects in infants of mothers taking ibuprofen have not been reported in at least 23 cases found in the medical literature, and there is no information regarding the medication having an effect on breastfeeding. Because it has been shown to be safe for both the mom and baby and has not shown negative effects on the ability to breastfeed, ibuprofen is a recommended agent to help with pain or inflammation in nursing mothers. Warnings and Precautions Despite its popularity and usual safety in the general population, ibuprofen can pose some potential risks for the mom.

If you're a pescatarian, you can eat any type of fruit, vegetable, grain or legume along with your fish. Some pescatarians, like some vegetarians, consume eggs and dairy products while others do not. Vegetarians who eat dairy follow an lacto-ovo vegetarian diet, so if you eat dairy, you can call yourself a lacto-ovo-pescatarian.

When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative constant, change the sense (direction) of the inequality. When both sides of an inequality are the same sign, change the sense of the inequality when you take the reciprocal of both sides. You may chain like inequalities together: If a<b and b<c, then a<c (transitive property)If a<b and c<d, then a+c<b+d. In English, that means that if you take two things that are smaller and put them together, it will be smaller than the two larger things put together. You can not combine mixed inequalities. If a<b and b>c, then you can't say for sure that a<c or that c<a. If a<b and c>d, then you can't say for sure that a+c<b+d or that a+c>b+d If you rewrite the entire problem, just switching sides, make sure you change the sense of the inequality so that it still points to the same quantity. The following operations do not change the sense of the inequality Adding a constant to both sides of an inequality Subtracting a constant from both sides of an inequality Multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a positive constant Double Inequalities Sometimes, two inequalities are combined into one. However, you need to be careful: If x>3 and x<6, then you can write 3<x<6." }, { "docid": "D1378489#0", "title": "http://www.divorceaid.co.uk/legal/process.htm\n.", "text": "\"Legal Separation Grounds for divorce The legal process Scroll down for legal glossary What is separation? To be separated, all you have to do is live apart. There are many couples who decide not to divorce but you should carefully consider your options with a solicitor. It is commonplace to make a Deed of Separation to record any agreement regarding financial matters, children and plans to divorce or not. Care needs to be taken before signing any document as this could be relied upon if a divorce takes place at a later date. If you have both received legal advice, the court would prefer not to overturn the agreement at a later date provided that you had both been honest and there has not been any change in your circumstances. When you are living apart, you are classed as separated by the Inland Revenue and by the Benefits Agency. Is there an alternative to divorce? Yes, this is a Judicial Separation. This is not so common but could be considered when there are religious objections to divorce." }, { "docid": "D834109#0", "title": "https://intothegloss.com/2014/12/castor-oil-beauty/\nIngredient To Know: Castor Oil", "text": "\"148 replies Share Tweet Pin Copy Yes, there is an oil for everything.

What this product does for spray tans will blow your mind!If you have read some of my website you will know that I am a big fan of body exfoliating before spray tanning. In fact I think it is crucial. Without it you will tan uneven and your tan will be coming off in patches. In extreme cases you can look worse with a spray tan on than without it. Although there are many products on the market that will exfoliate your skin (some better than others)I have never been fully satisfied with any of them, because none of them has ever got rid of my problem spots like dry ankles, knees and elbows.

Temperature scales In the USA, the Fahrenheit temperature scale is used. Most of the rest of the world uses Celsius, and in science it is often most convenient to use the Kelvin scale. The Celsius scale is based on the temperatures at which water freezes and boils. 0°C is the freezing point of water, and 100° C is the boiling point. Room temperature is about 20° C, a hot summer day might be 40° C, and a cold winter day would be around -20° C. To convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius, use these equations: The two scales agree when the temperature is -40°. A change by 1.0° C is a change by 1.8° F. The Kelvin scale has the same increments as the Celsius scale (100 degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water), but the zero is in a different place. The two scales are simply offset by 273.15 degrees. The zero of the Kelvin scale is absolute zero, which is the lowest possible temperature that a substance can be cooled to. Several physics formulas involving temperature only make sense when an absolute temperature (a temperature measured in Kelvin) is used, so the fact that the Kelvin scale is an absolute scale makes it very convenient to apply to scientific work." }, { "docid": "D3187752#0", "title": "http://www.montgomeryco.com/countyclerk/vitalrecords/marriagelicenses.php\n.", "text": "Marriage Licenses Getting Married?
