S. (excluding merchants within California, Florida, Texas, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Colorado, Kansas, Maine and Oklahoma) can start charging surcharge fees. If you are in these states, you are not allowed to charge a surcharge fee. Which States allow merchants to charge surcharge fees on credit card transactions and which States prohibit merchants from adding surcharges? However, if a merchant intends to take advantage of a surcharge, they must notify Visa, Master Card and their bankcard processing company (as their merchant acquirer) thirty days prior to implementation. To register with Visa and Master Card, merchants should visit www.mastercardmerchant.com and www.visa.com/merchantsurcharging.com. In July of 2011, a federal judge approved a proposed settlement between the Department of Justice, seventeen states, and Visa and Master Card regarding the interchange structure. With this settlement, VISA and Master Card are removing the rule that prohibited merchants from charging a fee to accept a credit card. Based upon this settlement, Visa and Master Card have announced new guidelines to allow your merchants the option of adding a surcharge to certain credit card transactions. Special new point of sale terminal software applications is required to report the surcharges separately from sales and surcharges can only be added to credit card transactions and CANNOT be charged on PIN debit or Pre-paid cards Surcharge amounts must not exceed the merchant’s average cost of accepting credit cards, capped at 4%. If merchants decide to add surcharges to customer purchases, they must clearly disclose the charges at the point of sale as well as display the dollar amount on the receipt (which is why a new software application is needed)." } ]

The settlement attracted attention because the value of the settlement is approximately $7.25 billion, and the plaintiffs’ attorneys who obtained the settlement proclaimed a great victory for American consumers. Several of the plaintiffs immediately protested the settlement, however, and claimed that it accomplishes nothing. What really happened? Swipe fees. The background of the lawsuit rests in the process that occurs between the time the consumer makes a purchase with a Visa or Master Card and the time the consumer pays his or her credit card bill that comes from the financial institution that supplied the card. First, the consumer’s purchase creates an obligation by the consumer to pay the purchase price. The selling merchant is the first person to hold this obligation. The merchant does not collect this obligation directly from the consumer; instead, the merchant sells the right to collect this obligation to an “acquirer” or “acquiring bank,” for an amount that is usually about 1.5% to 3% less than the face amount of the obligation. Thus, the merchant might actually receive 97 cents out of every $1.00 sold to the consumer, and the discount is referred to as a “swipe fee.”" }, { "docid": "D803500#0", "title": "http://sbinfocanada.about.com/od/insurancelegalissues/a/Credit-Card-Transaction-Fees-Rising.htm\nCredit Card Merchant Fees in Canada", "text": "\"Small Business Business Management Credit Card Merchant Fees in Canada Transaction Fees on Premium Credit Cards the Worst Share Flip Pin Email•••By Susan Ward Updated March 12, 2018All credit cards are more expensive payment methods for merchants than other forms of payment such as debit cards and cash. But the higher fee rates associated with premium credit cards hurt Canadian small businesses especially badly - credit card companies charge merchants even higher fees when customers use premium credit cards than when they use 'regular' ones. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has put together a credit card rate chart that lists many of the specific types of credit cards available in Canada. Looking at the list you'll see, for example, that the transaction fee charged a merchant when a customer uses a regular Master Card is 1.75 percent, but if a customer uses a Master Card Premium High Spend card, the transaction fee is 2.71 percent. Some Master Cards in the World/World Elite category carry even higher transaction fees. To a small business that processed $100,000 worth of credit card transactions each month, the .96 percentage difference charged for premium card transactions would cost an additional $960 a month, an extra $11,520 per year. I've used Master Card rates as an example but I could have just as easily picked Visa; Visa transaction rates follow the same model of premium cards being used to extract higher transaction fees from merchants. And credit companies have been pumping out premium credit cards. \"\" There are a staggering number of cards on the market today in Canada, with over 200 Master Card and Visa cards on our rate chart alone,\"\" says Dan Kelly, president and CEO of the CFIB. The CFIB Lobbies for Change The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) started its campaign against the high cost of Canadian credit card transaction fees in November 2008 and was instrumental in developing the Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry in Canada which came into effect August 17, 2010." }, { "docid": "D407274#0", "title": "https://www.pnc.com/en/personal-banking/banking/checking.html\nPersonal Checking Accounts", "text": "What is Virtual Wallet?

Convenience fees: When is it OK to charge extra to use a credit card? By Tamara E. Holmes | Updated: April 13, 2017Personal Finance Writer Writes regularly about personal finance and health Paying with a credit card often yields rewards, so why not buy everything with a credit card and earn big rewards? No one could blame you for thinking that way, but some of the biggest expenses you may put on a credit card -- including taxes and tuition -- probably won't be the financial slam-dunk you thought they were. Credit card purchases, both large and small, can have extra costs in the form of \"\"convenience fees. \"\" What convenience fees are Convenience fees are charges levied for the privilege of paying for a product or service using an alternative payment, or a payment method that is not standard for the merchant. Movie theaters, for example, typically sell tickets face-to-face at the box office. However, if a movie theater gives customers the alternative option of paying by phone using a credit card, then that theater could charge a convenience fee. So technically, you're not paying for using your credit card, but for the privilege of using the pay-by-phone option. Card network policies vary When it comes to convenience fees, different card processing networks have different policies: CARD NETWORK CONVENIENCE FEE POLICIESVisa According to Visa's policy, certain criteria must be met in order for a merchant to charge a convenience fee: The payment must take place across an alternative payment channel, such as online or by phone." }, { "docid": "D303891#0", "title": "https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/FR/HTML/FR/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-204297/0-0-0-204369/0-0-0-206521.html\n.", "text": "\\ fr \\ Federal Register Publications (CIS, ICE, CBP) \\ Federal Register Publications (CIS, ICE, CBP) - 2010 \\ Federal Register Notices - 2010 \\ Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates [75 FR 6321] [FR 9-10]Previous Document | Next Document Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates [75 FR 6321] [FR 9-10]DOCUMENT NUMBER: FR 9-10FEDERAL REGISTER CITE: 75 FR 6321DATE OF PUBLICATION: February 9, 2010BILLING CODE: 4710-06-PDEPARTMENT OF STATE22 CFR Part 22 [Public Notice: 6887]RIN 1400-AC58Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates AGENCY: Bureau of Consular Affairs, State.

Under the terms of a $7.2 billion settlement reached last summer between credit card companies and merchants, merchants will be free to impose a surcharge on customers paying by credit card. How big a surcharge depends on how much the merchant pays in processing fees, but the amount legally permissible will be between 1.5 percent and 4 percent of your purchase price. No one knows how many merchants will exercise this right, but Gerri Detweiler, director of consumer education at Credit.com, expects the number to be small, at least at first. READ MORE: Credit card settlement may not help consumers. Smaller merchants, she says, typically feel gouged by processing fees and are more likely than big chains to pass the cost along to their customers. Service providers, she says—your accountant, your massage therapist—are the most likely to pass the charge along.

If you see a bottle of water conditioner in the shop, look at the label saying what it contains. If the main ingredient is Na CL, then you'll better save your money and buy salt in the supermarket instead. Also, some shops sells sea salt mix which is for marine tanks, those will increase hardness, p H and other parameters that really don't need to be changed. In short just use normal salt. If possible, try to find salt with no addictives added, in the supermarket and NOT in hardware shops. Even if it has addictives, I do not think the addictives are dangerous otherwise there will be a warning against consumption by people. You may think that we humans are bigger than fish and so it will not affect us. However, humans also consume salt daily and any toxicity can build up in our liver." } ]

A Green Spotted Puffer Hunting a Snail The Green Spotted Puffer Fish The Green Spotted Puffer is a fish with unique needs and care requirements. Their spotted yellow-green backs make them an attractive choice for home aquariums, and their interesting behaviors will separate them from most any other fish you have ever owned. In the wild, Green Spotted Puffers (Tetraodon nigroviridis) are found in Southeast Asia where they inhabit rivers and estuaries. In captivity, unfortunately they are often the victims of poorly educated pet shops and aquarium owners. Perhaps more than any other fish species, Green Spotted Puffers serve as an example of why it is so important to research aquarium fish before bringing them home. In this case, failing to do so can result in the demise of your puffer and perhaps all other fish in your tank. If you currently have one of these little dynamos in your possession you are probably here to learn more about how to care for your puffer. If you have yet to bring a puffer into your home, read this article thoroughly and think seriously about whether or not you want to make the commitment. If you choose to do so, and follow through, you’ll finding puffer ownership to be highly fun and rewarding." }, { "docid": "D1475438#0", "title": "https://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061030124531AAUZTeS\nHow long before I can put fish into my aquarium?", "text": "\"Pets Fish How long before I can put fish into my aquarium?

Then every 10 mins. you need to take 1 cup of your water and add it to the bag of goldfish so that they will adapt to your water and do this till the bag is full, then after you fill the bag the fish will be ready to go into the tank.

An aquarium (plural: aquariums or aquaria) is a vivarium of any size having at least one transparent side in which aquatic plants or animals are kept and displayed. Fishkeepers use aquaria to keep fish, invertebrates, amphibians, aquatic reptiles such as turtles, and aquatic plants. The term \"\"aquarium\"\", coined by English naturalist Philip Henry Gosse, combines the Latin root aqua, meaning water, with the suffix -arium, meaning \"\"a place for relating to\"\". [ 1] The aquarium principle was fully developed in 1850 by the chemist Robert Warington, who explained that plants added to water in a container would give off enough oxygen to support animals, so long as the numbers of animals did not grow too large. [ 2] The aquarium craze was launched in early Victorian England by Gosse, who created and stocked the first public aquarium at the London Zoo in 1853, and published the first manual, The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea in 1854.

It is a carnivorous species that in the wild mostly eats aquatic insect larvae, small invertebrates, tadpoles, frogs and occasionally fish. This species is one of Australia's most terrestrial turtles, spending many months per year on land, the species has been observed feeding on land and the analysis of gut contents has found terrestrial insects. It is important to understand that this is a cold climate turtle. In the wild it is active and feeding in water at 12° C. Eastern Long-necked Turtles are often sold when very small, about 3cm shell length, however, this species will grow to a shell length of 20 - 30cm.

Malawian cichlids, particularly the Mbuna, are incredibly popular among aquarists thanks to their amazing colours and very outgoing personalities. They are often compared to coral reef fish in terms of sheer beauty, with colours ranging from bright yellow and orange through to blue and purple.

Most of these form an ecological grouping that the native fishermen call Mbuna, a name that has caught on in the hobby as well. The word simply means “rock fish” in the language of the Tonga people of Malawi and is a reference to close association between these fish and the shallow rocky reefs and shorelines. Mbuna are in fact grazing fish feeding primarily on algae and small animals they scrape from the rocks using modified jaws and teeth. When alarmed they quickly dive into rocky crevices and wait for danger to pass. They never stray far from the rocks, exploiting them not just for safety and food but also as displaying grounds, male Mbuna holding territories and vigourously driving off any rivals." }, { "docid": "D3045559#0", "title": "http://applesnail.net/content/faq.php\nThe apple snail website", "text": "\"The apple snail websitehttp://www.applesnail.net Marisa cornuarietis If you have a question regarding apple snails and you cannot find the answer in the other pages you have arrived at the right spot.

A specific gravity of 1.003-1.006 is about right if you do want to add salt (get a hydrometer). As you have seen from other answers, some people salt their tank to either increase the p H and hardness (marine salt) or to ward off disease (aquarium salt, solar salts, table salts, epsom salt, etc) . The comment on salting an aquarium is like taking tylenol for no reason is very accurate for the aquarium salt or table salts! It is best to not medicate unless it is a quarantine of a new fish before adding to the tank or there is an actual disease you are treating.

Get the complete details on how to set up and clean a fish tank, plus answers to some common questions about fish-tank maintenance, below. How to Set Up a Fish Tank Once you’ve got your equipment and designated a good spot in the home (out of direct sunlight and free of drafts) to keep the aquarium, follow these ten easy steps to set up and clean your freshwater aquarium: Step one: rinse the tank with warm water, wiping it out with a paper towel if necessary. Do not use soaps or detergents of any kind; they’ll kill your fish. Step two: thoroughly rinse off any gravel, aquarium rocks and any other tank decorations with warm water before placing them into the empty tank. Use a colander to rinse the gravel and rocks until the water runs through clear and free of debris. Step three: fill your tank one-third of the way with room temperature aquarium-specific water from a clean bucket. There are two types of aquarium-specific water you can use: pre-treated, fish-safe aquarium water by the bottle from your local pet store or tap water that’s been treated with a conditioner like Tetra Aqua Safe or Easy Balance Plus to de-chlorinate and remove other harmful chemicals and heavy metals.

Rather, it was created in a series of conferences and orderly negotiations, culminating in the terms of Confederation on 1 July 1867. The union of the British North American colonies of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the Province of Canada was the first step in a slow but steady nation-building exercise that would come to encompass other territories, and eventually fulfill the dream of a country a mari usque ad mare (from sea to sea). Delegates of the Charlottetown Conference, Prince Edward Island, 1864. Image: Library and Archives Canada / PA-091061. LACThe Case for a Country By the 1860s, the union of British North America (BNA) had been a long-simmering idea, the subject of occasional dinner speeches. It was inspired in part by fears of United States domination and even annexation, following the American Civil War, and the belief that Britain was becoming increasingly reluctant to defend its North American colonies against possible US aggression. The violence and chaos of the Civil War had shocked many in British North America. They saw the war as partly the result of a weak central United States government, and this inspired ideas about the need for a strong central government among the BNA colonies. After emerging victorious from the war, the American North was also left with a large and powerful army." }, { "docid": "D2465585#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Where_I_Come_From\nBack Where I Come From", "text": "\"Back Where I Come From From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Back Where I Come From\"\"Single by Mac Mc Anallyfrom the album Simple Life B-side \"\"Company Time\"\" [1]Released January 1990Format 7\"\" single Genre Country Length 3: 32Label Warner Bros.

He was also a big Jennings fan. Johnson grew up poor, but music was always a part of his family’s life. His first real taste of performing in front of people was when he and his father got up in church and sing gospel.

James Handley Editors' Summary: The United States and other industrialized nations export a significant amount of their hazardous wastes abroad for disposal. Exporters often send their waste to countries where environmental regulation is less stringent than in the generating country in order to avoid the high cost of compliance with domestic disposal requirements. Although the United States and the European Community have established limited controls on waste exportation, these regulations do not ensure that waste shipped abroad is transported or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. The author describes the regulatory regimes of the United States and the European Community, and analyzes recent efforts to create international agreements to impose greater controls on transboundary shipments of hazardous waste. In addition, the author examines legislative initiatives put forward in the United States Congress to address the problem. The author concludes that unless waste exports from the United States are prohibited, unsafe disposal abroad will likely continue, and efforts to encourage the minimization of hazardous waste at the source will be thwarted.

Canada, unlike the USA was filled primarily with British descendant people who were loyal to the crown. Canada did not want independence. They saw a great deal of protection being within the British crown as they saw a gorilla to the south who had twice invaded Canada as a MAJOR threat. Britain also saw this as a major threat. Britain by the mid to late 1800s realized, particularly after the civil war were they secretly funded and backed the southern states (they were still bitter about the war of 1812 and losing America in the first place). They realized that they were not going to be able to ever deploy enough soldiers to ever hold on to Canada, in fact there war plan was basically to hold onto Halifax (Canada's largest port city in terms of ability to produce warcraft) and Vancouver (Largest port on the other side) by deploying troops from other regions. However, Britain desired to not get into a war with the USA at all once they realized that the north was basically industrialized, and combined the states took 1 million dead in a bloody civil war. To put that in perspective, all of Canada just had around 3 million people at this time." }, { "docid": "D1751425#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonestar_discography\nLonestar discography", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Lonestar discography Studio albums 10Compilation albums 7Music videos 19Singles 37No.1 Single 9Lonestar is an American country music band founded in 1992 by Richie Mc Donald, John Rich, Keech Rainwater, Michael Britt and Dean Sams.

The BNA Act created the Dominion of Canada by uniting the Province of Canada (modern Ontario and Quebec), the province of New Brunswick, and the province of Nova Scotia. Home rule was not absolute; the Dominion got its own Parliament, but its decisions still needed to be affirmed by the U. K. Parliament. Manitoba joined the Dominion in 1870, followed by British Columbia (1871), Prince Edward Island (1873), and Saskatchewan and Alberta (1905). Newfoundland and Labrador gave up its own claim to nationhood to join Canada in 1949. ( The Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon remain territories, not full provinces.) The Statute of Westminster, in 1931, finally removed the U. K. Parliament from Canada's legislative process. It was not until the Canada Act of 1982, however, that the U. K. relinquished its authority to amend the British North America Act (then renamed the Canada Act). Theoretically, then, until 1982 the U. K. could have said, \"\"Sorry, just kidding -- we're repealing the BNA, you have to go through us now.\"\"" }, { "docid": "D2297982#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_year_did_canada_become_a_democracy\nWhat year did Canada become a democracy?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society Politics and Government Political Theory Democracy What year did Canada become a democracy?

During the movement for independence from Spain, Mendoza was the headquarters of General José de San Martín, who organized an expeditionary force to cross the Andes and liberate Chile in 1817. A monument commemorating this event is atop Gloria Hill, overlooking the city on the west. In 1861 Mendoza was destroyed by an earthquake, with heavy loss of life.

The archipelago consists of the main island, Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, with an area of 48,100 km 2 (18,572 sq mi), and a group of many islands, including Cape Horn and Diego Ramírez Islands. Tierra del Fuego is divided between Chile and Argentina, with the latter controlling the eastern half of the main island and the former the western half plus the islands south of Beagle Channel. The southernmost extent of the archipelago is at about latitude 55 S. The earliest known human settlement in Tierra del Fuego dates to around 8,000 B. C. Europeans first explored the islands during Ferdinand Magellan 's expedition of 1520; Tierra del Fuego and similar namings stem from sightings of the many bonfires that the natives built. Settlement by those of European descent and the great displacement of the native populations did not begin until the second half of the 19th century, at the height of the Patagonian sheep farming boom and of the local gold rush. [ 1] Today, petroleum extraction dominates economic activity in the north of Tierra del Fuego, while tourism, manufacturing, and Antarctic logistics are important in the south.

This means average temperatures of 85 Fahrenheit. So if you're not great with the heat, then aim for Spring (March / April) or Autumn (September / October). Most people recommend a visit between October and April, but if you're a fan of snow sports then come for the ski season which runs from July to early September (depending on yearly snowfall). You can ski just a few hours from the capital, and many people make a day trip of it. Speaking of ‘time’ in Santiago, make sure you allow a few days to explore the city. Many travellers pass through en route to Patagonia in the south, Atacama in the north, or Easter Island, but Chile’s capital city has plenty to offer.

But Peru remained loyal because of the conservative attitude of the Peruvian aristocracy, the presence of many Spaniards in Peru, the concentration of Spanish military power in Lima, and the effective suppression of Indian uprisings. Peru’s independence was, consequently, achieved primarily by outsiders. Among them was Gen. José de San Martín of Argentina, whose aims were to secure Argentine control of Upper Peru’s silver from the Spanish forces that had occupied Upper Peru and to ensure Argentina’s independence by destroying the remaining Spanish power in South America. Because Argentine forces had previously been defeated in Upper Peru, San Martín determined to surround the Spaniards by liberating Chile and using it as a base for a seaborne attack on Peru. Chile was freed in 1818 and a fleet was readied, which enabled San Martín to occupy the Peruvian port of Pisco in September 1820. When the viceroy withdrew his forces into the interior, San Martín entered Lima. Peruvian independence was declared on July 28, 1821. Lacking power to attack the strong Spanish forces in the interior, San Martín sought aid from Simón Bolívar, who had liberated northern South America, but Bolívar declined, refusing to share leadership. San Martín then withdrew, and Bolívar assumed power in Peru to carry on the struggle for liberation." }, { "docid": "D2441885#0", "title": "http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/4/1/breaking-magnitude8quakehitsoffcoastofchile.html\nMagnitude-8.2 quake hits off Chile coast", "text": "\"International Magnitude-8.2 quake hits off Chile coast At least six deaths reported; 6-foot tsunami followed shallow Pacific temblor April 1, 2014 8:02PM ET Updated 11:05PM ETView Full Gallery1 of 7Sunken fishing boats lie in the water in Iquique, northern Chile, April 2, 2014, after a powerful 8.2-magnitude earthquake hit off Chile's Pacific coast.

Proper capitalization is one of the cornerstones of good grammar, yet many people fling capital letters around carelessly. Not every word deserves to be capitalized. It’s an honor that must be warranted, and in writing, capitalization is reserved only for special words. Most of the grammar rules are explicit about which words should be capitalized. However, there are some cases (like title case) in which the rules are vague. Capitalization of Titles There are several contexts in which we can examine capitalization.

This post is now the most popular because I discuss the prospects for foreigners who aspire to work in Chile, the topic people care most about. The biggest problem with Chile is that it is difficult for a foreigner to find work, and the available jobs outside the mining industry pay substantially less than in the USA and Europe. Humans are a tribal species and every country subscribes to the false idea that foreigners take jobs from locals without spending money to create demand for local goods and services. Chile does not allow foreigners or Chileans to easily open businesses and the government forces companies in Chile with more than 25 employees to hire at least 85% Chileans, leaving little room for foreigners (Article 19 of the Labor Code). A prudent migrant saves enough to stay in Santiago for a year, as that is the amount of time that may be required to secure employment. The good news for foreign women is that companies prefer foreign to Chilean women. The government requires companies to take care of Chilean women who become pregnant so most companies avoid or are reluctant to hire young women." }, { "docid": "D3210287#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_of_Easter_Island\nHanga Roa", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Capital of Easter Island)navigation search This article needs additional citations for verification.

Britain's Met Office told Mail Online that the clouds wrapped around the volcano are lenticular clouds, which are formed, it said, when the air is stable and winds blow from the same or similar direction at many levels of the troposphere. It said: 'As the wind blows across hilly or mountainous regions, the air undulates in a downstream train of waves. If there is enough moisture in the air, these waves will condense to form the unique appearance of lenticular clouds. The clouds can be seen as far as 60 miles downwind of the hills or mountains that led to their formation and they are believed to be one of the most common explanations for UFO sightings across the world.

A. 's IDR at 'BBB' & National Scale at 'A+ (cl)'; Outlook Stable July 13, 2016 11:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time CHICAGO-- ( BUSINESS WIRE )--Fitch Ratings has affirmed the Long-Term Foreign and Local Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) of Engie Energia Chile S. A. (formerly known as E. CL) at 'BBB', and its Long-Term National Scale rating at 'A+ (cl)'. Fitch has also affirmed the company's long-term international bond ratings at 'BBB'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. Simultaneously, Fitch has assigned National Equity ratings at 'Primera Clase Nivel 2'. KEY RATING DRIVERSEngie Energia Chile S. A. 's (E. CL) ratings reflect the company's sound financial profile, strong contractual position, competitive cost structure, and diversified generation matrix. The company's ratings also reflect its improved financial metrics and expectations that it will continue strengthening its financial profile once the expansion of the Mejillones terminal (IEM project) and transmission project (TEN) are finalized and the new contracts in the Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) commence during 2018. E. CL entered a high capital investment period with strong credit metrics and its rating is expected to be unaffected during the next expansion cycle, when its leverage is expected to increase momentarily. E. CL expects to fund its approximately USD1.4 billion capex plan over the next three years with internal cash flow generation, cash on hand and approximately USD200 million of incremental debt. The ratings consider our assumption that the financing of the company's capex participation on the TEN project will be realized on a non-recourse basis. Under this scenario, Fitch is projecting leverage, as measured by Total Debt/EBITDA, to be near or below 3.5x at the peak of the capex needs and then to significantly improve starting in 2019 once the contracts in the SIC commence at improved prices and the IEM project is finalized." } ]

Contrary to what most people think, the human body requires carbon dioxide in its blood for health living. During the process of respiration, excess carbon dioxide is removed from the body and this is replaced by atmospheric oxygen; however there is still some level of carbon dioxide that remains in the blood. Having a low level of carbon dioxide in the blood or a high level of carbon dioxide in the blood will greatly affect some of the functioning in the body. These functions are associated to those of the cardiovascular system as well as the systems associated with cellular-based respiration. A low level of carbon dioxide in the blood will lead to reduced oxygen reaching the various cells and tissues of the body. An increase in carbon dioxide in the blood is also a problem for the body. It is therefore necessary to maintain the right carbon dioxide range in the body. High Carbon Dioxide Level in Blood All living beings need air to breath. Air is a mixture of gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen (N2), hydrogen (H2), and noble gases." } ]

At least cellular respiration, the process by which organisms convert food into chemical energy, requires oxygen; on the other hand, some forms of respiration are anaerobic, meaning that they require no oxygen. Such is the case, for instance, with some bacteria, such as those that convert ethyl alcohol to vinegar. Likewise, an anaerobic process can take place in human muscle tissue, producing lactic acid—something so painful that it feels as though vinegar itself were being poured on an open sore. HOW IT WORKSF ORMS OF R ESPIRATIONRespiration can be defined as the process by which an organism takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, one in which the circulating medium of the organism (e.g., the blood) comes into contact with air or dissolved gases. Either way, this means more or less the same thing as breathing. In some cases, this meaning of the term is extended to the transfer of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream and, eventually, into cells or the release of carbon dioxide from cells into the bloodstream and thence to the lungs, from whence it is expelled to the environment. Sometimes a distinction is made between external respiration, or an exchange of gases with the external environment, and internal respiration, an exchange of gases between the body's cells and the blood, in which the blood itself \"\"bathes\"\" the cells with oxygen and receives carbon dioxide to transfer to the environment. This is just one meaning—albeit a more familiar one—of the word respiration. Respiration also can mean cellular respiration, a series of chemical reactions within cells whereby food is \"\"burned\"\" in the presence of oxygen and converted into carbon dioxide and water." }, { "docid": "D343446#0", "title": "https://www.healthline.com/health/acute-respiratory-failure\nAcute Respiratory Failure", "text": "Acute Respiratory Failure Types Symptoms Causes Risk factors Diagnosis Treatment Outlook What is acute respiratory failure?

When a human inhales, he takes in oxygen. When he exhales, he releases carbon dioxide. Most of the carbon dioxide in the blood occurs in the form of bicarbonate. The carbon dioxide blood test, also called the bicarbonate test, measures the amount of bicarbonate in the bloodstream. Some medical conditions and drugs cause low bicarbonate levels. Kidney Disease The kidneys maintain normal levels of sodium, potassium, carbon dioxide and phosphorus in the blood. When kidney disease or kidney failure impairs kidney function, these organs no longer carry out this function properly. Carbon dioxide levels decrease, resulting in the need for treatment.

Sleep apnea is a common condition characterized by a periodic reduction in or a complete stop of breathing during sleep. There are two main types of sleep apnea; obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA). Mixed sleep apnea refers to the combination of both central and obstructive sleep apnea. Apnea is defined as a cessation or near-cessation of breathing for 10 seconds or more that results in a reduction of airflow to 90% below normal. A less severe reduction in breathing is called hypopnea. The basic underlying mechanism is different for the types of sleep apnea. Normally, the brain sends a signal to the respiratory muscles to expand and bring air into the lungs. In central sleep apnea, the brain fails to send this signal, causing disrupted and unregulated breathing." }, { "docid": "D851568#0", "title": "https://www.verywell.com/tachypnea-function-and-treatment-914914\nWhat is Tachypnea?", "text": "\"COPDWhat is Tachypnea?

Anything over 20 breaths per minute is called tachypnea. Function of Tachypnea Also known as rapid breathing, tachypnea is common in people who have emphysema, either because they are not getting enough oxygen or they are trying to \"\"blow off\"\" excess carbon dioxide (a waste product of metabolism), which has built up in their blood due to an inadequate expulsion of inhaled air. In other words, tachypnea in people with COPD is usually caused by either too low of an oxygen level (partial pressure of oxygen or p O2,) which stimulates rapid, shallow breathing, or too high of a carbon dioxide level (which stimulates rapid shallow breathing. ) In addition to COPD being responsible for a low oxygen or an elevated carbon dioxide level, there are other mechanisms by which people with COPD may develop tachypnea. For example, fevers related to lung infections may cause tachypnea. Heart damage such as congestive heart failure, as well as anemia can also contribute to rapid breathing, as can anxiety related to dyspnea—being anxious about getting a good breath and releasing it." }, { "docid": "D3444648#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_dioxide_poisoning\nNitrogen dioxide poisoning", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Nitrogen dioxide poisoning Nitrogen dioxide Classification and external resources Specialty Emergency medicine ICD - 10 T59.0ICD - 9-CM 987.2 [ edit on Wikidata]Nitrogen dioxide poisoning is the illness resulting from the toxic effect of nitrogen dioxide ( NO 2 ). It usually occurs after the inhalation of the gas beyond the threshold limit value. [ 1] Nitrogen dioxide is reddish-brown with very harsh smell at high concentrations. It is colorless and odorless at lower concentration but still harmful. Nitrogen dioxide poisoning depends on the duration, frequency, and intensity of exposure. Nitrogen dioxide is an irritant of the mucous membrane linked with another air pollutant that causes pulmonary diseases such as OLD, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and sometimes acute exacerbation of COPD and in fatal cases, deaths. [ 2] Its poor solubility in water enhances its passage and its ability to pass through the moist oral mucosa of the respiratory tract. Like most toxic gases, the dose inhaled determines the toxicity on the respiratory tract. Occupational exposures constitute the highest risk of toxicity and domestic exposure is uncommon.

This condition produces a shift in the body's p H balance andcauses the body's system to become more alkaline (basic). This condition is brought on by rapid, deep breathing called hyperventilation. Description Respiratory alkalosis is an alkali imbalance in the body caused by a lower-than-normal level of carbon dioxide in the blood. In the lungs, oxygen from inhaled air is exchanged for carbon dioxidefrom the blood. This process takes place between the alveoli (tiny air pockets in the lungs) andthe blood vessels that connect to them. When a person hyperventilates, this exchange of oxygenfor carbon dioxide is speeded up, and the person exhales too much carbon dioxide. This loweredlevel of carbon dioxide causes the p H of the blood to increase, leading to alkalosis.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a progressive, irreversible lung disorder characterized by airway inflammation and impaired breathing. Although it usually takes years for COPD to cause significant symptoms, the condition is typically punctuated by periodic exacerbations, or downturns. A study published in the November 2012 issue of \"\"Thorax\"\" revealed that each exacerbation of COPD significantly increases a patient’s risk of dying. Acute respiratory failure, a potentially life-threatening complication of COPD, may occur during an exacerbation. Poor Gas Exchange Your respiratory system is designed to exchange gases with the surrounding atmosphere. Each time you inhale, oxygen from incoming air is transferred into your bloodstream. When you exhale, carbon dioxide -- a waste product of metabolism -- is removed from your bloodstream and released into the atmosphere. Respiratory failure occurs when your lungs are not capable of efficient gas exchange or the muscular mechanism that expands and deflates your lungs is weakened for any reason.

Even to refer to CO<SUB>2</SUB> as a toxic gas is a surprise to many safety professionals.</P>]By Bob Henderson Jul 01, 2006CARBON dioxide is the fourth most common gas present in the earth's atmosphere, with an average ambient concentration (in fresh air) of about 350 ppm. Carbon dioxide is one of the most common byproducts of living organisms. With every exhaled breath, we produce and release CO 2 into the atmosphere (with an average concentration in exhaled breath of about 3.8 percent). According to one USDA study, an average person produces about 450 liters (900 grams) of CO 2 per day. Liquid and solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) are widely used as refrigerants, especially in the food industry. Carbon dioxide is also used in many industrial and chemical industry processes. Carbon dioxide is particularly associated with the beer and wine making industries, where it is produced by yeast during the fermentation process that converts sugar into alcohol. Carbon dioxide in the headspace of fermentation vessels can easily reach 50 percent by volume or even higher concentrations. Carbon dioxide is also widely used in the oil industry, where it is commonly injected into oil wells to decrease the viscosity and aid in the extraction of oil from mature fields." }, { "docid": "D3010282#0", "title": "http://mhhe.com/biosci/ap/foxhumphys/student/olc/u-reading1.html\n.", "text": "Human Physiology 6/e Fox Student Online Learning Center Additional Readings Acidosis and Alkolosis Urinary The normal p H value for the body fluids is between p H 7.35 and 7.45. When the p H value of body fluids is below 7.35, the condition is called acidosis, and when the p H is above 7.45, it is called alkalosis. Metabolism produces acidic products that lower the p H of the body fluids. For example, carbon dioxide is a by-product of metabolism, and carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid. Also, lactic acid is a product of anaerobic metabolism, protein metabolism produces phosphoric and sulfuric acids, and lipid metabolism produces fatty acids. These acidic substances must continuously be eliminated from the body to maintain p H homeostasis. Rapid elimination of acidic products of metabolism results in alkalosis, and the failure to eliminate acidic products of metabolism results in acidosis. The major effect of acidosis is depression of the central nervous system. When the p H of the blood falls below 7.35, the central nervous system malfunctions, and the individual becomes disoriented and possibly comatose as the condition worsens. A major effect of alkalosis is hyperexcitability of the nervous system." }, { "docid": "D3045795#0", "title": "http://www.livestrong.com/article/199207-arterial-blood-gases-in-copd/\nArterial Blood Gases in COPD", "text": "Arterial Blood Gases in COPDby MELISSA LINGOHR-SMITH Aug. 14, 2017Medically Reviewed by George Krucik, MD, MBACOPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, commonly consists of chronic obstructive bronchitis and emphysema.

According to a model proposed by Dr. Donald F. Klein, professor of psychiatry, people who suffer repeated panic attacks have a hypersensitive “suffocation alarm system” that triggers the shortness of breath and acute anxiety that are the hallmarks of a panic attack. Panic attacks come on suddenly, often with a feeling of intense terror and impending doom and often for no known reason. Those symptoms are accompanied by shortness of breath, a pounding heart, dizziness, and chest pain, lasting less than 10 minutes. Reports of longer episodes require diagnostic review. Often, a person suffering a panic attack for the first time mistakes it for a heart attack and goes to the emergency room. Repeated panic attacks, known as panic disorder, can cause a person to become chronically apprehensive. People may even begin avoiding situations they fear will trigger an attack or places where they will not be able to get to help. Panic attacks are almost always associated with shortness of breath or difficulty breathing. When people feel short of breath, they often respond by hyperventilating, another common symptom of panic attacks." } ]

The saga had rather modest beginnings, consisting in the description by normal anatomists of scattered cells throughout the intestinal mucosa, which were identifiable through their reactivity for chromium and silver salts, and which seemed to be morphologically and functionally different from the numerically more conspicuous cells present in the same mucosa. One of the better-known studies of these cells was carried out by Nicholas (Nikolai) Kultschitsky (1856–1925), Professor of Histology at the University of Kharkov (Russia), in his paper ‘Zur Frage über den Ban des Darmkanals.’ In this contribution, written in 1897, he pointed out the different polarity that these cells exhibited when compared with the mucus-secreting and absorbing cells of the same mucosa, suggesting that their secretory product was not emptied into the intestinal lumen but rather toward the basilar pole of the mucosa and possibly into the vessels. These cells, which were recognized independently by several other investigators, were variously called enterochromaffin cells, argentaffin cells, clear cells, enteroendocrine cells, and Kultschitsky cells, the latter term honoring the individual who had studied them in greatest detail. As an aside, it could be mentioned here that Kultschitsky was a very distinguished and influential scientist, to the point of being given by the Czar the title of Imperial Minister of Education for all of Russia.

An example is the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. There are three principal shapes of epithelial cell: squamous, columnar, and cuboidal. These can be arranged in a single layer of cells as simple epithelium, either squamous, columnar, cuboidal, pseudo-stratified columnar or in layers of two or more cells deep as stratified (layered), either squamous, columnar or cuboidal. All glands are made up of epithelial cells. Functions of epithelial cells include secretion, selective absorption, protection, transcellular transport, and sensing.

In general, papilloma is a histopathological term describing tumors with specific morphology. They take on a classic finger like or cauliflower like appearance. Papillomatous lesions often are lobulated with a central vascular core. Irrelevant of its cytology, a neoplasm of epithelial origin with this form of growth is also called papilloma. Papillomas can be benign or malignant and can be found in numerous anatomical locations (eg, skin, conjunctiva, cervix, breast duct). Specifically, conjunctival papillomas are benign squamous epithelial tumors with minimal propensity toward malignancy. Conjunctival papillomas are categorized into infectious (viral), squamous cell, limbal, and inverted (histological description) based on appearance, location, patient's age, propensity to recur after excision, and histopathology. They demonstrate an exophytic growth pattern.

These tumors are rare, with an overall incidence in the Western world of approximately 2.5 cases to 3.0 cases per 100,000 per year. [ 1] Malignant salivary gland neoplasms account for more than 0.5% of all malignancies and approximately 3% to 5% of all head and neck cancers. [ 1, 2] Most patients with malignant salivary gland tumors are in their sixth or seventh decade of life. [ 3, 4]Carcinogenesis and Risk Factors Although exposure to ionizing radiation has been implicated as a cause of salivary gland cancer, the etiology of most salivary gland cancers cannot be determined. [ 2, 3, 5, 6] Occupations associated with an increased risk for salivary gland cancers include rubber products manufacturing, asbestos mining, plumbing, and some types of woodworking. [ 3]Anatomy Tumors of the salivary glands comprise those in the major glands (e.g., parotid, submandibular, and sublingual) and the minor glands (e.g., oral mucosa, palate, uvula, floor of mouth, posterior tongue, retromolar area and peritonsillar area, pharynx, larynx, and paranasal sinuses). [ 2, 7] Minor salivary gland lesions are most frequently seen in the oral cavity. [ 2 ]Of salivary gland neoplasms, more than 50% are benign, and approximately 70% to 80% of all salivary gland neoplasms originate in the parotid gland.

Share Email Print Feedback Overview Ceruminous gland tumors arise in the external auditory canal (EAC) from specialized glands that are closely related to apocrine glands, [ 1] which are found in the axillae, anogenital area, areolae, and eyelids (glands of Moll). These external ear glands contribute material that combines with sebaceous gland products and desquamated epithelial cells to produce a waxy substance known as cerumen (from Latin cēra “wax”). [ 2]Like other apocrine-related glands, including mammary tissue, ceruminous glands are composed of an inner secretory layer of cells and an outer myoepithelial layer of cells. The glands drain into larger ducts, which, in turn, drain into hair follicles that populate the EAC. [ 3]Tumors that likely derive from the ceruminous glands include benign tumors, such as ceruminous adenoma, ceruminous pleomorphic adenoma, and ceruminous syringocystadenoma papilliferum, as well as malignant tumors, such as ceruminous adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and, mucoepidermoid carcinoma. [ 4, 5, 6, 7]Pathophysiology and Etiology Between 1000 and 2000 ceruminous glands, along with sebaceous glands and associated hair follicles, typically occupy the outer, cartilaginous portion of the external auditory canal (EAC), with a few present in the auricular skin. [ 3] The remaining majority of the ear canal contains a thin layer of epithelium lining dense bone and contains no adnexal structures. On the basis of histologic similarities and distribution pattern, the histogenesis for most of the benign (adenoma, pleomorphic adenoma, and syringocystadenoma papilliferum) and malignant (adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma) glandular tumors arising in the EAC is in all likelihood the ceruminous glands or their embryologic anlage. Ectopic salivary gland tissue has been suggested as another possible origin, [ 8, 9] though ectopic salivary gland tissue in the EAC has never been reported. As expected, given the anatomic arrangement, tumors believed to derive from ceruminous glands are present almost exclusively in the EAC." }, { "docid": "D869806#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_epithelial-stromal_tumor\nSurface epithelial-stromal tumor", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Surface epithelial-stromal tumor High magnification micrograph of a Brenner tumor, a type of surface epithelial-stromal tumor.

Cell division is a long process that ends in mitosis: the lining up of chromosomes in the center of the cell and splitting of the cell into two daughter cells, with a complete set of new chromosomes. 2. Before mitosis, the cell has to replicate its chromosomes so that there are two complete sets: one of which goes into each daughter set Most Adult cells are not dividing: 1. Non-dividing cells are called \"\"quiescent\"\" a. They are tissue cells, doing the job of the tissue 2. When the tissue is wounded, tissue cells proliferate to fill the wound. For most tissues, the cells that fill the wounds are the functional cells of that tissue. For heart muscle and nerve cells, which cannot divide (under ordinary circumstances), tissue fibroblasts fill the wound with scar tissue.

Cassandra is used mostly in the English and German languages, and it is of Old Greek origin. The name is of the meaning shining upon man; protrude, man.

Cassandra was a Trojan princess and daughter of King Priam in Greek mythology and in Homer's Iliad; her prediction of the fall of Troy was unheeded, due to a curse placed upon her by Apollo after she rejected his advances. She was later captured as a concubine of Agamemnon and eventually murdered by his jealous wife. As a result of the mythological connection, the name has traditionally been associated with someone with grim prophecies, but it was nevertheless a popular medieval name. It has appeared in literature as the name of a prophetess in William Shakespeare's play Troilus and Cressida (1602), and in the UK it was later well-known as the pseudonym used by William Connor for his Daily Mirror column, whose criticisms riled Churchill during World War II." }, { "docid": "D194432#0", "title": "https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700843.aspx\nTroubleshooting Certificate Status and Revocation", "text": "\"Troubleshooting Certificate Status and Revocation Published: November 1, 2003By Brian Komar and David B. Cross, Microsoft Corporation Abstract Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP offer significant features in the areas of X.509 support, PKI as well as certificate status checking and revocation. This White paper details the basics of certificate status, chain building, and how they work in Windows operating systems to assist administrators in troubleshooting a PKI implementation.

Traditionally a PKI uses a distributed method of verification so that the clients do not have to contact the Certification Authority (CA) directly to validate the credentials presented. Without checking certificates for revocation, the possibility exists that a security principal will accept credentials that have been revoked by a CA administrator. Certificates are issued with a planned lifetime and explicit expiration date. A certificate may be issued for one minute, thirty years or even more. Once issued, a certificate becomes valid once its validity time has been reached, and it is considered valid until its expiration date. However, various circumstances may cause a certificate to become invalid prior to the expiration of the validity period. Such circumstances include change of name, change of association between subject and CA (for example, when an employee terminates employment with an organization), and compromise or suspected compromise of the corresponding private key." }, { "docid": "D2292458#0", "title": "http://www.mineralminers.com/html/garminfo.htm\nGarnet: Mineral Information and Garnet Facts", "text": "Garnet Mineral Information Page Enter our Virtual Gallery of Almandine Garnet Crystals and Matrix Mineral Specimens MINERALMINERS.

A less important aim is to ensure that each substance has a single name, although a limited number of alternative names is acceptable in some cases. Preferably, the name also conveys some information about the structure or chemistry of a compound. The American Chemical Society 's CAS numbers form an extreme example of names that do not perform this function: each CAS number refers to a single compound but none contain information about the structure." }, { "docid": "D497335#0", "title": "http://commandlinefanatic.com/cgi-bin/showarticle.cgi?article=art012\nHow Certificates Use Digital Signatures", "text": "\"Home Posts Books About Me RSSHow Certificates Use Digital Signatures Anybody who's been using the web for any appreciable amount of time has been presented with ominous, but vague, security warnings such as \"\"this site's certificate has expired\"\", \"\"this site was signed by an untrusted certificate authority\"\", or \"\"the domain name in this site's certificate doesn't match the domain name you've connected to.\"\" Research has borne out that most people ignore these warning messages when they're browsing - and honestly, how many of us really know how worried to be? Many web users — even experienced ones — have only a vague notion of what a \"\"certificate\"\" is and what it's for. However, the concept of a certificate — more accurately, an X.509 certificate [ 1] — is central to modern software security. As you can probably guess, web browsers secure their traffic using digital cryptography algorithms. Digital cryptography algorithms are \"\"key-based\"\" - meaning that sensitive input is obscured by applying a mathematical algorithm to the input along with a secret key in order to produce meaningless gibberish — gibberish, at least, to everybody except a holder of the secret key. In mathematical terminology, an encryption algorithm E is applied to the sensitive plaintext P along with a secret key K to produce the ciphertext C which can be safely transmitted over an open channel. More succinctly, C = E (P,K). Similarly, a decryption algorithm D is applied by the recipient to retrieve the original plaintext: P = D (C,K) . Broadly speaking, there are two categories of digital cryptography algorithms — symmetric and public." }, { "docid": "D2000943#0", "title": "http://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/784/translating-cooking-terms-between-us-uk-au-ca-nz\nTranslating cooking terms between US / UK / AU / CA / NZ", "text": "\"_Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs.

For other uses, see Identity certificate (disambiguation). Server certificate of *.wikipedia.org In cryptography, a public key certificate, also known as a digital certificate or identity certificate, is an electronic document used to prove the ownership of a public key. The certificate includes information about the key, information about the identity of its owner (called the subject), and the digital signature of an entity that has verified the certificate's contents (called the issuer). If the signature is valid, and the software examining the certificate trusts the issuer, then it can use that key to communicate securely with the certificate's subject. [ 1] In email encryption, code signing, and e-signature systems, a certificate's subject is typically a person or organization. However, in Transport Layer Security (TLS) a certificate's subject is typically a computer or other device, though TLS certificates may identify organizations or individuals in addition to their core role in identifying devices. TLS, sometimes called by its older name Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is notable for being a part of HTTPS, a protocol for securely browsing the web. In a typical public-key infrastructure (PKI) scheme, the certificate issuer is a certificate authority (CA), usually a company that charges customers to issue certificates for them. By contrast, in a web of trust scheme, individuals sign each other's keys directly, in a format that performs a similar function to a public key certificate." } ]

Dry cough is only a symptom, so, while it is important that you pay attention to other signs in your cat's behavior in order to establish causes, it is your veterinarian who should diagnose and treat the dry cough as well as its underlying causes. Causes of Dry Cough in Cats The possible causes of dry cough in felines include: Hair balls can get suck in your cat's throat. The presence of these will lead to acute coughing episodes followed by spitting of the hair ball. Asthma. If the cat also sneezes, but has no other symptoms between the coughing episodes, asthma is the probable diagnosis. Allergies to dust, pollens or smoke can also cause lung disease signaled by dry cough. Lung cancer can be a cause of dry cough in older cats. As the lungs receive blood from other organs, cancer present in one part of the body can also migrate to the lungs causing the cough. Surgery or medication can control the disease." } ]

The cough can be dry or moist and other symptoms such as stuffed nose or fever may also be present. Cat Hairball Cough Cats will often have to expectorate hairballs and they cough to do so. Hairballs are formed in the cat's stomach as a consequence of the cat ingesting his own hair while grooming. Long haired cats are more prone to hairballs.

November 20| See Commentsvet verified Pet Care Rx Staff Veterinarian DVMUsually the best treatment method for an upper respiratory infection is to allow the infection to run it's course and to help alleviate the discomfort of your pet's symptoms with these tricks. URI Sections Summary Causes Symptoms Treatment Top 5 Facts In general, the treatment of an upper respiratory infection is mostly aimed at alleviating the discomfort of your pet's symptoms. Take your pet to the veterinarian if symptoms persist for 2 or 3 days, just to be sure it is indeed an upper respiratory infection, and not something else. Once you know what you're dealing with, an upper respiratory infection should run its course over a couple of days or several weeks at most. If the symptoms continue for longer than a month, another visit to the vet is definitely necessary, since it’s likely your pet has developed a secondary infection. Keeping Pets With a URI Comfortable Here are some of the helpful ways that you can diminish the impact of your pet’s symptoms from an upper respiratory infection: Discharge from the Eyes Watery or mucous-like secretion from your pet’s eyes can be gently removed by wiping with a warm, damp rag. Vets may also prescribe an ointment to ease this symptom. Loss of Appetite Congestion, and a difficulty smelling food, can lead to cats and dogs having a diminished appetite. Try to temp pets to eat by warming up food, providing wet food, baby food, or generally making meals more appealing." }, { "docid": "D3478679#0", "title": "http://www.petwellbeingwiki.com/wiki/Cat_Coughs/\nCat Coughs", "text": "Cat Coughs Veterinarian Reviewed on April 1, 2014 by Dr. Janice Huntingford Cat Cough (Feline Coughs)Signs and Symptoms While coughing may not be as common amongst cats as it is with some other animals, felines do exhibit this behavior.

A cough can occur in a variety of forms, including dry, hacking, moist, and wheezing. It can also occur in isolated bouts, flare up intermittently, or be a more constant problem. Furthermore, cat coughs may be more likely occur at certain times than others. For example, sometimes a cat will cough more frequently after meals, after exercise, or at night. Coughing is not actually an illness; rather, it’s a symptom or response. Whether or not cat cough medicine will be appropriate for treating your pet will depend upon the cause of the cough.

Unless you see your cat vomiting bile or blood, however, most causes of cat vomit are relatively easy to treat. Some will require professional treatment by a veterinarian. Here are some of the common causes of vomiting in cats. Hairballs Probably the number one cause of cat vomiting is hairballs. When your cat grooms and cleans himself, the fur goes through his intestinal tract and generally comes out in the stool. But sometimes cats have tender stomach and you'll hear the hacking cough that's a precursor to them vomiting a hairball. Unless your cat coughs up hairballs more than twice a month, there's no cause for alarm. You could give him food with hairball remedy or try a separate hairball cream sold by veterinarians and pet supply companies.

Normally the placenta is delivered within minutes to an hour after child birth. For some women, the placenta doe not deliver naturally and must be physically removed. There are three main types of retained placenta: Trapped Placenta: The placenta detaches from the uterus but becomes trapped due to the cervix closing. Partial Accreta: The placenta grows into and becomes deeply attached to the uterus. This prevents detachment. Placenta Adherens: The muscular layer of the uterus fails to contract. Retained placenta can occur for several reasons or for no reason at all. Causes of retained placenta include: Weak or insufficient uterine contractions: Uterine contractions are what cause the placenta to detach and ultimately become expelled from the vagina. If the muscle (the uterus is a series of tissue layers, mostly comprised of muscle tissue) contractions are weak or uncoordinated, the placenta will not be able to come out on its own." } ]

About half of those deaths are due to calving difficulty (dystocia). This multi-million dollar annual loss is second only to losses from failing to conceive. Calving difficulty has received much more attention in recent years, primarily because of the mating of larger European breeds of bulls to British breeds of cow. Increased calving problems are also being encountered within purebred breeds, as genetically large bulls are often mated to cows of only average size. The purpose of this guide is to acquaint cattle producers with calving management principles that will help minimize calf loss in their herds. Factors causing calving difficulty About 80 percent of all calves lost at birth are anatomically normal. Most of them die because of injuries or suffocation resulting from difficult or delayed parturition (calving).

Prompt veterinary attention can most often allow both the mare and foal to survive a problematic birth. Thus, it is important to understand what is \"\"normal\"\" when it comes to the foaling process so that a problem can be recognized and dealt with promptly. The normal gestation length in mares ranges from 335 to 345 days with an average of 340 days. It is often the case for pregnancy to be prolonged for up to ten days when foals are due in the early months of the year (January-March). Furthermore, it is common for colts to gestate for two or three days longer than fillies. There are several preparations that need to be made prior to a mare's expected foaling date (EFD).

For the purpose of discussion, these components are discussed separately; however, remember that successful management of PPH requires that both components be simultaneously and systematically addressed. Management of obstetric hemorrhage Patients with PPH require aggressive measures to restore and maintain the circulating blood volume (and thereby perfusion pressure) to vital structures. All medical units involved in the care of pregnant women must have a protocol for the management of severe obstetric hemorrhage. [ 30] Management of massive obstetric hemorrhage outlines such a protocol for a pregnant woman in either the antepartum or postpartum period. [ 31] Implement the protocol in a manner similar to a cardiac arrest protocol, with the same attention to detail and documentation.

Delayed cord clamping is a birth practice where the umbilical cord is not clamped or cut until after pulsations have ceased, or until after the placenta is delivered. A growing number of parents are choosing delayed cord clamping for their baby. The timing of clamping the umbilical cord, and practices have a sizeable impact on the outcomes or mother and baby. Research has shown that when we delay cord clamping the neonate will receive up to 30% more of the fetal-placental blood volume than it would have with immediate cord clamping. When your baby is born, the cord and placenta system will contain about one third of your baby’s blood, whilst the remaining two thirds is in the baby. Benefits The benefits of delayed cord clamping for the baby include a normal, healthy blood volume for the transition to life outside the womb; and a full count of red blood cells, stem cells and immune cells. For the mother, delayed clamping keeps the mother-baby unit intact and can prevent complications with delivering the placenta. The placenta Before birth, the baby and placenta share a circulating blood supply that is separate to the mother’s. Inside the uterus, the placenta and umbilical cord provides the baby with oxygen, nutrients and clears waste." }, { "docid": "D1915181#0", "title": "http://www.petmd.com/cat/conditions/reproductive/c_ct_metritis?page=show\nBacterial Infection (Metritis) of the Uterus in Cats", "text": "Metritis in Cats Metritis, a uterine infection that usually occurs within a week after a cat gives birth, is symptomized by an inflammation of the endometrium (lining) of the uterus due to a bacterial infection. It can also develop after a natural or medical abortion, miscarriage, or after a non-sterile artificial insemination. The bacteria that are most often responsible for infection of the uterus are gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli, which often spreads into the blood, causing a blood infection. The infection may lead to sterility, and if left untreated, septic shock, a lethal condition, may follow. Symptoms and Types Discharge from the vulva that smells bad; discharge with pus, or pus mixed with blood; discharge that is dark green Swollen, dough-like abdomen Dehydration (the skin stays tented for a few seconds when pinched)Dark red gums Fever Reduced milk production Depression Lack of appetite Neglect of kittens Increased heart rate if the bacterial infection has become systemic Causes Difficult birth Prolonged delivery, perhaps with a large litter Obstetric manipulation Retained fetuses or placentas Natural or medical abortion, miscarriage Natural or artificial insemination (rare)Diagnosis Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam, including a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, an electrolyte panel, and a urinalysis. These tests will help your veterinarian to determine whether the bacterial infection has spread to the bloodstream, where the infection might have originated, and how dehydrated your cat is. You will need to give a thorough history of your cat's health, onset of symptoms, and possible incidents that might have preceded this condition. Diagnostic tools, like radiograph and ultrasound imaging, will allow your veterinarian to visually examine the interior of the uterus for any retained fetuses or birth matter, excess fluid accumulation, and/or abnormal amounts of abdominal fluid production due to uterine rupture. A sample of the vaginal discharge will also be taken for cytologic (microscopic) examination. A culture of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that lives with oxygen, or without oxygen, respectively) will be used for identifying the bacterial populations present in the blood, and a sensitivity of the isolated bacteria will be performed so that the most appropriate antibiotic treatments can be prescribed." }, { "docid": "D1272023#0", "title": "http://www.leawhitefarms.com/normalcalving.htm\nLEA-White Farms Registered Highland Cattle", "text": "Normal calving in the Highland cow is simple and easy, but despite the reputation of the breed for ease in calving, small calves, and excellent mothering, problems can, and do arise. Gestation in the Highland is going to usually run about 280-285 days from the breeding date. If you are lucky enough to catch the cow in heat and see her bred, that date should be recorded, as it can aid in predicting when the cow will actually calve. Bear in mind that some individuals will carry their calves for considerable shorter, or considerably longer periods of time, and still be healthy and normal. Known gestation lengths of 270 to 292 days have been reported on the same farm. The bigger risk will be in those cows that carry their calves for the longer time period. Calves add 1 to 2 pounds of weight per day during the last 2 weeks of pregnancy, so that longer gestation periods result in larger calves. Carried to the extreme, this can lead to oversized calves for the cow. The cow is not the only contributing factor to gestation length.

The Placenta Also known as the afterbirth, the placenta nourishes the fetal puppy in the uterus. While the fetus grows, it is completely encircled by its own placenta. As the puppy starts passing through the birth canal, it's still enclosed by the placenta, but during the birth process the placenta breaks and is expelled after the birth.

After the birth, a sequence of events initiates milk production whether or not you plan to breastfeed your baby. Although you might not be able to express the colostrum yourself at first, or you might be worried that your milk hasn’t come in or is late; true lactation failure is very rare. There will almost certainly be some milk. However, how much milk depends on getting breastfeeding established early and often and, for a minority of women, whether you have any other potential Reasons for Low Milk Supply. This article discusses the causes for milk coming in late after delivery. What triggers breast milk to come in? During pregnancy the placenta has a vital role in generating hormones to develop the milk making factory in the breasts. After the birth of your baby the placenta separates from the uterus and is expelled. This causes a sharp drop in the hormone progesterone which triggers the breasts to start milk production about 32-40 hours after birth 1." }, { "docid": "D1716766#0", "title": "https://www.thespruce.com/helping-pregnant-cat-during-birthing-555410\nHelping a Pregnant Cat During Birthing", "text": "\"Cat Reproductive Health Helping a Pregnant Cat During Birthing By Franny Syufy Updated 03/12/18Share Pin Emailmjrodafotografia / Getty Images Ready to help your mother cat birth her kittens?

The placenta is usually passed within 15 minutes of the birth of each puppy, and can take longer in cats. A retained placenta is extremely uncommon in dogs, and even less common in cats. It is most often seen in toy breed dogs. Causes of Retained Placenta in Dogs There is no one specific cause of a retained placenta Large litter sizes tend to be affected most often Dystocia (abnormal or difficult labor) has been implicated What to Watch For Signs of a Retained Placenta in dogs may include: Green, fetid vulvar discharge Fever Inappetence Listlessness Diagnosis of Retained Placenta in Dogs The major problem with this syndrome is its diagnosis. It is extremely difficult to count placentas, largely because the bitch often ingests them within seconds of expulsion. Thorough abdominal palpation can be helpful in the diagnosis in certain cases. Feeling a mass in the uterus can be indicative of a retained placenta, although this needs to be differentiated from a retained fetus. It is important to obtain baseline blood tests, including a complete blood count (CBC), biochemical profile, and urinalysis.

Often these problems can be more easily solved if the producer has more knowledge of the physiological process of calving. There are two common presentations for the calf during calving. The first, which is normal and occurs in about 95 per cent of calvings, is the one in which the calf comes forward with the head tucked between its front legs with its nose a few inches from the tips of the toes. The second most common presentation is not considered to be normal because of the high incidence of dystocia (calving problems) associated with it. The calf comes backwards with the hind feet first and the legs fully extended. Backwards presentation only occurs in about 5 per cent of calvings. In the case of twins, one calf is often presented backwards with the other one forward. Dystocia can occur when there are deviations from the above presentations.

The number of layers of tissue between maternal and fetal vascular systems. Differences in these two properties allow classification of placentas into several fundamental types. Classification Based on Placental Shape and Contact Points Examination of placentae from different species reveals striking differences in their shape and the area of contact between fetal and maternal tissue: Diffuse: Almost the entire surface of the allantochorion is involved in formation of the placenta. Seen in horses and pigs. Cotyledonary: Multiple, discrete areas of attachment called cotyledons are formed by interaction of patches of allantochorion with endometrium.

If we as cattle producers do not understand the logistics of mineral nutrition then we are at the mercy of the trained consultant working for a big mineral company, a feed store manager who may not even own a cow, the veterinarian who charges by the hour, or perhaps just as bad the fallacies of our own ignorance. In any event, more often then not we don’t get the proper mineral nutrition into our animals that it takes to put and end to the health and performance problems that take away profits (mastitis, cow pox, ringworms, foot rot, parasite infestation, ecoli scours, retained placenta, reproduction, pink-eye and many other).

The button like structures of the placenta (cotyledons), connect with the caruncles of the uterus. It is through these unions (placentomas), that nutrients are transferred from the mother to the calf. After a normal calving, the placenta will be expelled within 30 minutes to 8 hours. If the placenta has not been released after 12 hours, the cow will have a condition known as retained placenta (RP). Retained placenta by itself is not a problem; however it may lead to uterine contamination.

Because it is easier to remember the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) than to estimate the date of conception, obstetricians set the due date as 284 days (approximately 40.5 weeks) from the LMP. This assumes that conception occurred on day 14 of the woman’s cycle, which is usually a good approximation. The 40 weeks of an average pregnancy are usually discussed in terms of three trimesters, each approximately 13 weeks. During the second and third trimesters, the pre-pregnancy uterus—about the size of a fist—grows dramatically to contain the fetus, causing a number of anatomical changes in the mother ( Figure 1 ).

I get asked that question quite often and my answer is almost always an unequivocal \"\"Induce her!\"\" The only reason I say my answer is almost always and not always is the not so rare case of a wrong breeding date. Since the cow has a 21 day estrous cycle, we can usually differentiate a cow that's overdue from a cow 3 weeks away from delivering her calf. But if a cow is indeed overdue, induction is certainly indicated. Once the cow reaches the last month of her pregnancy, the developing fetus will gain about a pound a day. Prolonging the gestation in a cow by 10 days can take a 100 pound birth weight calf to a 110 pound calf. That can very well be the difference between an unassisted birth and a difficult calving with a dead calf. Even worse, a cesarean section or fetotomy may be the result." } ]

In the case of a satellite the centripetal force is gravity, in the case of an object at the end of a rope, the centripetal force is the tension of the rope. Objects moving in a straight line with constant speed also have constant velocity. However an object moving in an arc with constant speed has a changing direction of motion. As velocity is a vector of speed and direction, a changing direction implies a changing velocity. The rate of this change in velocity is the centripetal acceleration. Differentiating [?] the velocity vector gives the direction of this acceleration towards the centre of the circle. By Newton's second law of motion, as there is an acceleration there has to be a force in the direction of the acceleration. This is the centripetal force, and is equal to: F = - m v 2 /r ( r /r) = - m ω 2 r (where m is mass, v is velocity, r is radius of the circle, and the minus sign denotes that the vector points to the center of the circle and ω = v / r is the angular velocity )Proof of law Proving the formula is a trivial matter." } ]

If no inward force, clothes would fly off in straight path, like a rock on the end of a whirling string.

For circular motion, there needs to be a force that makes the particle turn. This force is called the 'centripetal force.' Please note that the centripetal force is not a new type of force-it is just a force causing rotational motion. To make this clearer, let us study the following examples: If Stone ties a piece of thread to a small pebble and rotates it in a horizontal circle above his head, the circular motion of the pebble is caused by the tension force in the thread. In the case of the motion of the planets around the sun (which is roughly circular), the force is provided by the gravitational force exerted by the sun on the planets. Thus, we see that the centripetal force acting on a body is always provided by some other type of force -- centripetal force, thus, is simply a name to indicate the force that provides this circular motion. This centripetal force is always acting inward toward the center. You will know this if you swing an object in a circular motion.

The direction of the force is oriented at a right angle to the direction of travel of the object, toward the center of the circle along which the object is moving. The size of the force ( F cent) is calculated by taking the product of the mass of the object ( m) and the velocity ( v) squared, divided by the radius of the curvature ( r ): F cent = mv 2 / r. According to Newton's laws of motion, traveling in a circular path requires acceleration, and thus a force must act. Without a force, an object would travel in a straight line, and centripetal force acts to pull the object inward, along the circular path.

Physics Circular Motion and Gravitation Circular Motion1 Answer11Flipping Physics and 2 others Share Jun 29, 2014 (first answer) No. For a system to be in equilibrium, there must be NO acceleration. In uniform circular motion, we must have at least centripetal acceleration because the direction is constantly changing. See the physics classroom for more information on circular motion: http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/circles/Lesson-1/Acceleration (second answer) The answer could be yes or no. It depends on which type of equilibrium you are referring to. Uniform Circular Motion (UCM) means that the angular acceleration is zero, which means the object has a constant angular velocity. ( note: it could still be at rest, the angular velocity would be a constant zero. ) An object in UCM is not in translational equilibrium.

Perhaps the most dangerous parts of any space mission are the launch, re-entry and landing. A huge force is required to propel the rocket a sufficient distance from the earth so that it is able to either escape the earth’s gravitational pull or maintain an orbit. Following a successful mission, re-entry through the earth’s atmosphere provides further challenges to scientists if astronauts are to return to earth safely.

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force. An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes). The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:a g =G (M Earth +M Moon )/r 2Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:a centr = (4 pi 2 r)/T 2Where T is the period.

It can be uniform, with constant angular rate of rotation and constant speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation. The rotation around a fixed axis of a three-dimensional body involves circular motion of its parts. The equations of motion describe the movement of the center of mass of a body. Examples of circular motion include: an artificial satellite orbiting the Earth at a constant height, a fan's blades rotating around a hub, a stone which is tied to a rope and is being swung in circles, a car turning through a curve in a race track, an electron moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, and a gear turning inside a mechanism. Since the object's velocity vector is constantly changing direction, the moving object is undergoing acceleration by a centripetal force in the direction of the center of rotation. Without this acceleration, the object would move in a straight line, according to Newton's laws of motion.

Its definition is based on a Latin phrase which means \"\"fleeing the center,\"\" an accurate description based on what is being observed. There are some physicists who claim that true centrifugal forces do not exist, that an object's reaction to such a force can be explained by other means. One possible explanation for centrifugal force rests in Newton's law of inertia. This law states that an object in a uniform motion tends to stay in that same motion unless there is pressure exerted by an outside force. For example, a ball being twirled around on a string would tend to go in a straight line if not for the string and the force the string puts on the ball. Therefore, the ball, instead of going in a straight line, goes in a circular motion around the center of the pivot. This explanation, why easily understandable, does not explain all aspects of centrifugal force. For example, why does the force still exist when there is no string? In such cases, there is likely still going to be an outside force exhibiting pressure on the object, keeping it from going in a straight line." }, { "docid": "D2372756#0", "title": "http://www.walkerlaw.com/kris/index.php?section=Define\n.", "text": "\"Introduction How Do They Work?

In fact, when you know this information, you can use physics equations to calculate how much force is required to keep an object moving in a circle at the same speed. You always have to accelerate an object toward the center of the circle to keep it moving in circular motion. If an object is moving in uniform circular motion at speed v and radius r, you can find the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration with the following equation: Because force equals mass times acceleration, F = m a, and because centripetal acceleration is equal to v 2 / r, you can determine the magnitude of the centripetal force needed to keep an object moving in uniform circular motion with the following equation: This equation tells you the magnitude of the force that you need to move an object of a given mass, m, in a circle at a given radius, r, and linear speed, v. (Remember that the direction of the force is always toward the center of the circle. ) Think about how force is affected if you change one of the other variables. The equation shows that if you increase mass or speed, you’ll need a larger force; if you decrease the radius, you’re dividing by a smaller number, so you’ll also need a larger force. Here’s how these ideas play out in the real world: Increasing mass.

The first law states that every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. The second law states that the net force on an object is proportional to the time rate of change of its linear momentum ie. mass times acceleration. The third aw states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Your Account Recently Viewed Login / Join Neo K12 ...

The change in motion is called its velocity and change is velocity is called acceleration. Here we are discussing about the term acceleration. It is a vector quantity which is change with time. It is defined as the change in velocity with time. So we can say that if an object has changed its velocity then it is accelerating state. It depends on how fast an object gets speed. There must be change in velocity. If there is no change in velocity for some particular time period then the acceleration remains constant. There is 10 m/s change in velocity in each consecutive second then it is called constant acceleration." }, { "docid": "D961063#0", "title": "https://study.com/academy/lesson/centripetal-force-definition-formula-examples.html\nCentripetal Force: Definition, Formula & Examples", "text": "Your next lesson will play in 10 seconds Add to Timeline Autoplay 238K 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 Centripetal Force: Definition, Examples & Problems Centripetal Motion: Physics Lab Newton's Second Law & Uniform Circular Motion Centripetal Acceleration: Definition, Formula & Example Lesson Transcript Instructor: Scott van Tonningen Scott has a Ph.

When an object is traveling in a circular path, centripetal force is what keeps it fixed in that path. Learn more about this force, how it is calculated and examples of its occurrence. A quiz is provided to test your learning. Definition of Centripetal Force Do you remember riding on the merry-go-round as a kid? Did you ever stand at the very edge of the merry-go-round and hold on tight to the railing as your friends pushed the wheel faster and faster? Maybe you remember that the faster the wheel turned, the harder it became to hold on. You might not have known it at the time, but you were creating a balance between two forces - one real and one apparent - in order to stay on that circular path. Merry-go-rounds are a perfect example of how a force is used to keep an object moving in a circular path." } ]

It is produced in the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain, and absorbed in the arachnoid granulations. There is about 125m L of CSF at any one time, and about 500m L is generated every day. CSF acts as a cushion or buffer for the brain, providing basic mechanical and immunological protection to the brain inside the skull. CSF also serves a vital function in cerebral autoregulation of cerebral blood flow. CSF occupies the subarachnoid space (between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater) and the ventricular system around and inside the brain and spinal cord. It fills the ventricles of the brain, cisterns, and sulci, as well as the central canal of the spinal cord. There is also a connection from the subarachnoid space to the bony labyrinth of the inner ear via the perilymphatic duct where the perilymph is continuous with the cerebrospinal fluid. A sample of CSF can be taken via lumbar puncture." } ]

Formed primarily in the ventricles of the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid supports the brain and provides lubrication between surrounding bones and the brain and spinal cord. When an individual suffers a head injury, the fluid acts as a cushion, dulling the force by distributing its impact. The fluid helps to maintain pressure within the cranium at a constant level. An increase in the volume of blood or brain tissue results in a corresponding decrease in the fluid. Conversely, if there is a decrease in the volume of matter within the cranium, as occurs in atrophy of the brain, the CSF compensates with an increase in volume. The fluid also transports metabolic waste products, antibodies, chemicals, and pathological products of disease away from the brain and spinal-cord tissue into the bloodstream. CSF is slightly alkaline and is about 99 percent water. There are about 100 to 150 ml of CSF in the normal adult human body.

The dura, a tough, inflexible tissue, is the outermost of the three layers of the meninges, the system of membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. A spontaneous CSF leak, as opposed to traumatically caused CSF leaks, arises idiopathically. It is one of several types of cerebrospinal fluid leaks and occurs due to the presence of one or more holes in the dura. A loss of CSF greater than its rate of production leads to a decreased volume inside the skull known as intracranial hypotension. Any CSF leak is most often characterized by orthostatic headaches, which worsen in a vertical position and improve when lying down.

Each and every cell of our body is surrounded by a fluid called interstitial fluid. At the cellular level, the lymphatic system is a pathway through which fluid flows from the inter cellular spaces into the blood. An exchange of substances between the blood and the tissue cells takes place by means of the interstitial fluid. The interstitial fluid surrounding the cells drains into a small tube like structure ( shown in green in the picture ). The lymphatic system is made up of ducts, nodes, and organs that circulate a clear, watery fluid called 'lymph' throughout the body. The primary purpose of this fluid is to filter or flush out waste products such as toxins and pathogens. Lymph also distributes immune cells, fats and proteins and importantly, produces immune system cells called lymphocytes which protect our bodies from antigens such as viruses and bacteria. Lymph works with the circulatory system to drain fluid from cells and tissues and is the key factor in maintaining a healthy fluid balance.

Secretion involves the transfer of hydrogen ions, creatinine, drugs, and urea from the blood into the collecting duct, and is primarily made of water. Blood and glucose are not normally found in urine. Key Termsurine: A liquid excrement consisting of water, salts, and urea, which is made in the kidneys then released through the urethra.glomerulus: A small, intertwined group of capillaries within nephrons of the kidney that filter the blood to make urine. Urine is a waste byproduct formed from excess water and metabolic waste molecules during the process of renal system filtration. The primary function of the renal system is to regulate blood volume and plasma osmolarity, and waste removal via urine is essentially a convenient way that the body performs many functions using one process. Urine formation occurs during three processes: Filtration Reabsorption Secretion Filtration During filtration, blood enters the afferent arteriole and flows into the glomerulus where filterable blood components, such as water and nitrogenous waste, will move towards the inside of the glomerulus, and nonfilterable components, such as cells and serum albumins, will exit via the efferent arteriole.

What is the process by which the renal medullary interstitial fluid becomes HYPEROSMOTIC? * Countercurrent mechanism The major factors that contribute to the buildup of solute concentration into the renal medulla are as follows: 1) Active transport of sodium ions and co-transport of potassium, chloride, and other ions out of the thick portion of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle into the medullary interstitium 2) Active transport of ions from the collecting ducts into the medullary interstitium 3) Facilitated diffusion of urea from the inner medullary collecting ducts into the medullary interstitium 4) Diffusion of only small amounts of water from the medullary tubules into the medullary interstitium, far less than the reabsorption of solutes into the medullary interstitium Countercurrent multiplier -the repetitive reabsorption of sodium chloride by the thick ascending loop of Henle and continued inflow of new sodium chloride from the proximal tubule into the loop of Henle is called the countercurrent multiplier.

Perhaps, because lymph and lymph vessels are generally translucent they drew little attention in early anatomical study compared to organs, blood vessels, muscles and bones. Hippocrates and Aristotle referred to \"\"white blood\"\" and \"\"colorless fluid\"\" but in the Middle Ages medical knowledge declined and the lymph was temporarily forgotten. In 1627 Asellius, in Milan, recovered the knowledge of the lymph.

In general, the lymphatic system is a network of organs, tissues,vessels, nodes and flow potentials. It collects interstitial fluid, infused with the by products of cellular activity, and transports it centrally where it rejoins the blood system. In this role it regulates endogenous metabolites and waste products.

A vascular system allows the movement of water and nutrients through the plant's body and, instead of reproducing with seeds, they reproduce asexually with spores. Most seedless vascular plants grow on land in moist areas. The Vascular System More than 90 per cent of the plants on earth are vascular plants, including all the familiar fruits, vegetable and flowers in our gardens, as well as ferns, club mosses and horsetails. Vascular plants have true roots and true leaves that take in water, minerals and other nutrients; they possess xylem or internal vascular tissues, which takes in nutrients from the soil, and phloem, which moves those nutrients throughout the plant. Non-vascular plants include true mosses and algae, which lack true leaves and true roots, and must take in nutrients in other ways. Reproduction Fruit, vegetables and flowers reproduce sexually; they require the male parts of the plant (pollen) to come in contact with the female parts of the plant (the ovary) for a seed to form. Ferns, horsetails and club mosses do not form seeds, but instead they produce spores like moss or fungi. In ferns, the spores form on the underside of the fronds inside a casing called the sporangia. Although the spores themselves are microscopic and often invisible to the naked eye, on many species you can easily see sporangia, which clump together in a formation called a sori." }, { "docid": "D1871330#0", "title": "http://philschatz.com/biology-book/contents/m44640.html\nSeedless Vascular Plants", "text": "\"Seedless Vascular Plants The vascular plants, or tracheophytes, are the dominant and most conspicuous group of land plants. More than 260,000 species of tracheophytes represent more than 90 percent of Earth’s vegetation. Several evolutionary innovations explain their success and their ability to spread to all habitats. Bryophytes may have been successful at the transition from an aquatic habitat to land, but they are still dependent on water for reproduction, and absorb moisture and nutrients through the gametophyte surface. The lack of roots for absorbing water and minerals from the soil, as well as a lack of reinforced conducting cells, limits bryophytes to small sizes. Although they may survive in reasonably dry conditions, they cannot reproduce and expand their habitat range in the absence of water. Vascular plants, on the other hand, can achieve enormous heights, thus competing successfully for light. Photosynthetic organs become leaves, and pipe-like cells or vascular tissues transport water, minerals, and fixed carbon throughout the organism.

Sexual reproduction results in gametes that combine two cells from different individuals. Meiosis also produces gametes. Haploids contain one set of chromosomes in each of their cells. Diploids cells contain two chromosome sets. For plants, haploid and diploid cells divide via mitosis. The plants’ haploid phase is called the gametophyte, and the diploid phase is called the sporophyte.

Accordingly, we treat it as an anatomical extension of the gametophyte. A generalized bryophyte sporophyte can be considered as having three parts: a \"\"foot\"\" which connects the embryo to the gametophyte to extract nutrients, a seta which lifts the mature sporophyte clear of the gametophyte body, and a terminal sporangium capsule. Shaw & Renzaglia (2004). In addition, we might add the protective structures formed by the gametophyte. The figure shows roughly how the structure works in development. ( 1) Initially, the sporophyte is completely surrounded by the epigonium, a protective coat supplied by the gametophyte. As the sporophyte grows, it elongates and grows wider, eventually fracturing the calyptra. The last remnants form a loose, pointed apical dunce cap, the calyptra, and sometimes a ring around the base, the vaginula.

The study of it can provide a lifetime of challenges and opportunities to learn more about this fascinating craft, or a basic knowledge of it can provide the home gardener with the skills and techniques to keep their garden well stocked with new plants. Plant propagation is the multiplication of plants by both sexual and asexual means. From the home gardener starting a few tomato plants from seed on the kitchen windowsill, to the conservationist growing endangered species of orchids in test tubes, to the nurseries that grow the millions of annuals, perennials, bulbs, shrubs and trees sold ever year, a working knowledge of plant propagation makes all of these endeavors possible. Propagation Methods There are probably as many methods of propagating plants as there are reasons for wanting to do so, but there are basically two types of propagation — sexual and asexual. Nearly all plants in nature have the ability to reproduce sexually, that is, by seed. Along with producing seed they have developed many modifications that aid in the dispersal of that seed. Such modifications include: Seeds being enclosed in colorful fruits that are attractive to animals that eat the fruits and deposit the seeds elsewhere. Seeds with wing-like or tufted appendages that enable the seed to be carried by the wind. Seeds that are hooked or barbed that are easily attached to the coats of animals or out clothing and carried away." }, { "docid": "D1499103#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_flora\nAntarctic flora", "text": "\"Nothofagus fusca, New Zealand The Antarctic flora is a distinct community of vascular plants which evolved millions of years ago on the supercontinent of Gondwana. It is now found on several separate areas of the Southern Hemisphere, including southern South America, southernmost Africa, New Zealand, Australia and New Caledonia. Joseph Dalton Hooker was the first to notice similarities in the flora and speculated that Antarctica had served as either a source or a transitional point, and that land masses now separated may have formerly been adjacent. [ 1]Based on the similarities in their flora, botanist Ronald D'Oyley Good identified a separate Antarctic Floristic Kingdom that included southern South America, New Zealand, and some southern island groups. In addition, Australia was determined to be its own floristic kingdom because of the influx of tropical Eurasian flora that had mostly supplanted the Antarctic flora and included New Guinea and New Caledonia in the Paleotropical floristic kingdom. Contents [ hide ]1 Origin2 Flora of Antarctica3 See also4 References5 External links Origin [ edit]Millions of years ago, Antarctica was warmer and much wetter and was able to support the Antarctic flora, including forests of podocarps and southern beech. Antarctica was also part of the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana, which gradually broke up by plate tectonics starting 110 million years ago. The separation of South America from Antarctica 30–35 million years ago allowed the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to form, which isolated Antarctica climatically and caused it to become much colder. The Antarctic flora subsequently died out in Antarctica, but is still an important component of the flora of southern Neotropic (South America) and Australasia, which were also former parts of Gondwana. Some genera which originated in Antarctic Flora are still recognized as major components of New Caledonia, Tasmania, Madagascar, India, New Zealand, and southern South America." }, { "docid": "D3042793#0", "title": "http://www.devoniantimes.org/who/pages/lycopsid.html\nMore About Lycopsids", "text": "\"Reconstructions of Lepidodendron (far left, Late Carboniferous, ~50 m tall), Sigillaria (left, Late Carboniferous, ~40 m,), Valmeyerodendron (middle top, Early Carboniferous, 0.6 m), Protolepidodendron (top right, Middle Devonian, 0.2 m), Chaloneria (bottom middle, Late Carboniferous, 2 m), Pleuromeia (bottom right, Triassic, 2 m) and Isoetes (bottom far right, extant, 30 cm). ©More About Lycopsids Ancient and Formerly Glorious Plants Lycopsids are the oldest group of living vascular plants. Some of their extinct members were major players in the expansion of plants onto the land, and massive arborescent forms were the most important contributors to the great coal beds that fueled the Industrial Revolution. Today they are represented by only six genera belonging just three families: Lycopodiaceae (club mosses), Selaginellaceae (spike mosses) and Isoetaceae (quillworts). They’re typically inconspicuous ground cover, epiphytic or aquatic components of modern floras. Lycopsids are related to several extinct groups, including Cooksonia (some, but not all species), Asteroxlon, Drepanophycus, zoosterophylls and barinophytes, through the possession of sporangia (spore-bearing organs) that are stalked and kidney-shaped (reniform). Collectively known as lycophytes, these plants comprise one of the two great clades of vascular plants that probably diverged from the earliest vascular plants sometime from the Silurian or Early Devonian; the other clade, euphyllophytes, include the trimerophytes, ferns, sphenopsids (e.g., horsetails), progymnosperms (e.g., Archaeopteris ), and seed plants (e.g., conifers, cycads, and angiosperms). Non-Arborescent Lycopsids Lycopsids are distinguished from other lycophytes because they posses spirally arranged microphylls (narrow, spine-like leaves supplied with a single, unbranched vein) and adaxial sporangia. ( Intermediate forms such as Asteroxylon and Drepanophycus are commonly referred to as pre-lycopsids.) The earliest known lycopsid, Baragwanathia, is known from the Middle or Late Silurian of Australia as well as the Early Devonian of Euramerica." }, { "docid": "D358152#0", "title": "http://www.luontoportti.com/suomi/en/kukkakasvit/common-sundew\nCommon Sundew", "text": "Common Sundew Drosera rotundifolia Name also: Round-leaved Sundew, Roundleaf Sundew Family: Sundew Family – Droseraceae Growing form: Perennial herb.

How are ferns different from flowering plants or trees? [ edit]Flowering plants (including trees) produce seeds, while ferns produce spores. A chief difference between spores and seeds is that spores have very little stored food resources compared with seeds, and thus require more favorable conditions in order to successfully germinate. Seeds, therefore, are more resistant to harsh conditions and require less energy. Spores are usually produced in large numbers to increase the chances of survival.2. Where is the true stem of a fern?

"text": "\"Lynn Atchison Beech The Snake (蛇) is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac and related to the Chinese calendar, as well as in related East Asian zodiacal or calendrical systems. The Year of the Snake is associated with the earthly branch symbol 巳. According to one mythical legend, there is a reason for the order of the 12 animals in the 12 year cycle. The story goes that a race was held to cross a great river, and the order of the animals in the cycle was based upon their order in finishing the race. In this story, the Snake compensated for not being the best swimmer by hitching a hidden ride on the Horse's hoof, and when the Horse was just about to cross the finish line, jumping out, scaring the Horse, and thus edging it out for sixth place. The same 12 animals are also used to symbolize the cycle of hours in the day, each being associated with a two-hour time period. The \"\"hour\"\" of the Snake is 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., the time when the sun warms up the earth, and Snakes are said to slither out of their holes. The reason the animal signs are referred to as \"\"zodiacal\"\" is that one's personality is said to be influenced by the animal sign (s) ruling the time of birth, together with elemental aspects of the animal signs within the sexegenary (60 year) cycle. Similarly, the year governed by a particular animal sign is supposed to be characterized by it, with the effects particularly strong for people who were born in a year governed by the same animal sign. In Chinese symbology, Snakes are regarded as intelligent, but with a tendency to be somewhat unscrupulous.

The History of the Twelve Animals Some believe the animals of the Chinese zodiac were brought to China via the Silk Road, an Asian trade route that also brought Buddhist beliefs to China. However, scholars argue the Chinese zodiac predates Buddhism and has its origins in early Chinese astronomy. It is thought that the twelve-year cycle with an animal representing each year was based on the planet Jupiter because Jupiter is a constant that returns to the same spot in the sky every twelve years.

( April 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Chinese astrology is based on the traditional astronomy and calendars. The development of Chinese astrology is tied to that of astronomy, which came to flourish during the Han Dynasty (2nd century BC to 2nd century AD). Chinese astrology has a close relation with Chinese philosophy (theory of the three harmony: heaven, earth, and water), and uses the principles of yin and yang and concepts that are not found in Western astrology, such as the wu xing teachings, the 10 Celestial stems, the 12 Earthly Branches, the lunisolar calendar (moon calendar and sun calendar), and the time calculation after year, month, day, and shichen (時辰) [1].

During the Han period, the familiar elements of traditional Chinese culture—the Yin-Yang philosophy, the theory of the 5 elements, the concepts of Heaven and Earth, and Confucian morality—were brought together to formalize the philosophical principles of Chinese medicine and divination, astrology and alchemy. [ 2]The 5 classical planets are associated with the Wu Xing: Venus —Metal ( White Tiger)Jupiter —Wood ( Azure Dragon)Mercury —Water ( Black Tortoise)Mars —Fire ( Vermilion Bird) (may or may not be associated with the phoenix which was also an imperial symbol along with the Dragon)Saturn —Earth ( Yellow Dragon)According to Chinese astrology, a person's destiny can be determined by the position of the major planets at the person's birth along with the positions of the Sun, Moon, comets, the person's time of birth, and zodiac Sign. The system of the twelve-year cycle of animal signs was built from observations of the orbit of Jupiter (the Year Star; simplified Chinese: 岁星; traditional Chinese: 歳星; pinyin: Suìxīng ). Following the orbit of Jupiter around the sun, Chinese astronomers divided the celestial circle into 12 sections, and rounded it to 12 years (from 11.86)." }, { "docid": "D1641578#0", "title": "http://dogtime.com/trending/59069-chinese-zodiac-2018-year-dog-means\nChinese Zodiac 2018: The Year Of The Dog And What It Means", "text": "Chinese Zodiac 2018: The Year Of The Dog And What It Means By Mike Clark (Picture Credit: Getty Images)According to the Chinese zodiac, 2018 will be the Year of the Dog, but what does that mean? Well, like the traditional western zodiac, the Chinese zodiac is made up of twelve signs (although the modern western zodiac has been updated to include a thirteenth). However, unlike the signs in the western zodiac, signs in the Chinese zodiac are not designated by the monthly positions of the sun and constellations, but are instead based on the yearly Chinese lunar calendar, which is determined by the movement of the moon. This rarely lines up with the January 1st start of the new year on the Gregorian calendar that most of us use, so even though a baby might be born in the year 2018, they might not actually be born in the Year of the Dog, and some babies born in 2019 will have the dog as their sign. The twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac are all animals. The dragon is the only mythological animal, while the rest are creatures seen in nature. The signs are cycled through and repeated every twelve years, and the dog is the eleventh sign. Additionally, each year is designated by one of five earthly substances referred to as “elements,” which include gold (also called metal), wood, water, fire, and earth. 2018 will specifically be an Earth Dog year.

Billy Graham did appear at the event but this story of his leading the crowd into the streets of New Orleans is fiction. The reason the media did not cover it is because it did not happen.

Chris Tomlin is one of the first planks in satan’s C-rock bridge that connects the church with the world. When unsuspecting pastors and parents hear Tomlin’s lighter songs they think, “C-rock must not be all bad”, and they open the door for Rock and Roll to enter their homes and churches. When C-rock enters a church it pushes out the hymns and the old spiritual songs of the faith. Those who have addicted themselves to the beat of rock have no ear for the ‘old fashioned’ music of the Church. In the article, “Hip Hymns Are Him,” TIME MAGAZINE says: Tomlin “thinks of himself less as a musician and more as a worship leader. Tomlin is the chief American practitioner of the pop-sounding ‘praise and worship’ music that has replaced traditional hymns in congregations looking for a younger crowd.” – Time Magazine. This is reason enough not to listen to him or buy his music. Here is an example of Tomlin’s weak watered down lyrics, that are replacing the great hymns in many churches: You are the first, You go before You are the last, Lord, You’re the encore All the earth will sing Your praise The moon and stars, the sun and rain Then he repeats “Glory in the Highest” over and over again." }, { "docid": "D3011769#0", "title": "http://concertfix.com/concerts/albany-ny\nAlbany, NY Concerts 2018 - 2019", "text": "Albany, NY Concerts 2018 - 2019Albany Venues Albany is ready for a robust concert schedule coming up in the upcoming weeks.

It was hosted by comedians Dan Rowan and Dick Martin. Laugh-In originally aired as a one-time special on September 9, 1967, and was such a success that it was brought back as a series, replacing The Man from U. N. C. L. E. on Mondays at 8 pm (ET). The title of the show was a play on the \"\" love-ins \"\" or \"\"be-ins\"\" of the 1960s hippie culture, terms that were, in turn, derived from \"\" sit-ins \"\", common in protests associated with civil rights and antiwar demonstrations of the time. In 2002, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In was ranked number 42 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time.

I recently made an alternate version of this video, switching out the Chris Tomlin music for a version by Melanie Rea. A lot of overlap, but also a lot of changes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_Nc E.... I like both versions about equally; Melanie's version is somewhat more tender.

Bryan Sheffield for The New York Times MALIBU, Calif. — Not too long ago, the actor Sam Elliott, who has spent much of his 46-year career alternately fighting and embracing habitual typecasting as America’s cowboy, was referred to as a “male ingénue. ”At 71, Mr. Elliott is not young, and anyone who’s witnessed the knowing gleam in his peepers wouldn’t for a second peg him as innocent. But with lauded performances this year in three indie films and guest spots in two acclaimed television series, Mr. Elliott is definitely having a moment. In May, he was named best guest performer in a drama series at the Critics’ Choice Television Awards for his work on FX’s “Justified.” The film “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” in which he played a leading man for the first time in years, opposite Blythe Danner, steadily drew crowds despite its limited release this spring. ( It was a co-star of that film, Mary Kay Place, who slyly called Mr. Elliott an ingénue.) He appeared in another Sundance indie, “Digging for Fire,” and in February returned to “Parks and Recreation” to play the vegan hippie Ron Dunn. But it is Mr. Elliott’s turn as a spurned lover in “Grandma,” which stars Lily Tomlin and opens Aug. 21, that has garnered him some of his warmest reviews yet: He brought a ferocious emotional rawness to the part that caught critics and even the director off-guard. Variety’s Scott Foundas raved that Mr. Elliott had, in 10 minutes on screen, created “a fuller, richer character than most actors do given two hours.”" } ]

Credit: Bruce Blaus/Creative Commons Attribution 3.0by Regina Bailey Updated January 27, 2018The ventricular system is a series of connecting hollow spaces called ventricles in the brain that are filled with cerebrospinal fluid. The ventricular system consists of two lateral ventricles, the third ventricle, and the fourth ventricle. The cerebral ventricles are connected by small pores called foramina, as well as by larger channels. The interventricular foramina or foramina of Monro connect the lateral ventricles to the third ventricle. The third ventricle is connected to the fourth ventricle by a canal called the Aqueduct of Sylvius or cerebral aqueduct. The fourth ventricle extends to become the central canal, which is also filled with cerebrospinal fluid and encases the spinal cord. Cerebral ventricles provide a pathway for the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid throughout the central nervous system. This essential fluid protects the brain and spinal cord from trauma and provides nutrients for central nervous system structures.

Epithelial tissues line the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels throughout the body, as well as the inner surfaces of cavities in many internal organs. An example is the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. There are three principal shapes of epithelial cell: squamous, columnar, and cuboidal. These can be arranged in a single layer of cells as simple epithelium, either squamous, columnar, cuboidal, pseudo-stratified columnar or in layers of two or more cells deep as stratified (layered), either squamous, columnar or cuboidal. All glands are made up of epithelial cells. Functions of epithelial cells include secretion, selective absorption, protection, transcellular transport, and sensing. Epithelial layers contain no blood vessels, so they must receive nourishment via diffusion of substances from the underlying connective tissue, through the basement membrane.

Paramecium Paramecium is a genus of the ciliate protozoa (Kingdom Protista). Protozoa are the group of single-cell eukaryotes (organisms with nuclei) that usually show mobility and heterotrophy. Heterotrophic organisms derive their carbon from organic compounds and include all animals, fungi, and many bacteria. Autotrophic organisms produce organic compounds by using carbon dioxide as their only carbon source and include plants and some bacteria. Paramecium is a freshwater protozoa and may be obtained by culture (purchased or maintained in the laboratory) or in the field by sampling scum of stagnant water. Paramecium is an ideal laboratory organism for studying the general features of animal cells because they are large and show many characteristics of animal cells. The following features are emphasized on the video: cilia, oral groove, food vacuoles, and contractile vacuoles.

Randell First Published January 1, 2007 Research Article Download PDF Article information Abstract Exposed to a diverse array of potentially noxious agents, the respiratory tract is protected by a highly developed innate defense system. Physiologically regulated epithelial ion and water transport coordinated with mucin secretion, beating cilia, and cough results in continuous flow of fluid and mucus over airway surfaces toward the larynx. This cleansing action is the initial and perhaps most quantitatively important innate defense mechanism. Repeated lung infections and eventual respiratory insufficiency characteristic of human cystic fibrosis (CF) and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) illustrate the consequences of impaired mucus clearance. Altered mucus clearance likely contributes to the initiation, progression, and chronicity of other airway diseases characterized by inflammation and mucous secretory cell hyper/metaplasia that afflict millions worldwide, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This review concisely discusses the pathophysiology of human diseases characterized by genetic defects that impair mucus clearance. It then explores animal models in which components of the mucus clearance system have been disrupted. These models firmly establish the importance of mucus clearance for respiratory health, and will help elucidate disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies in CF, PCD and COPD. Keywords Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cilia, mucin, mucociliary clearance, cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia Introduction Respiratory tract diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer typically result from complex interactions between the environment and host genetics. Constantly exposed to the environment, the airways and lungs have evolved to efficiently deliver inhaled air to the alveoli, while protecting gas exchange structures from potentially harmful airborne chemicals, particles, and pathogens." }, { "docid": "D622845#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/1730056/a-p-chapter-11-flash-cards/\nA & P Chapter 11", "text": "51 terms ikostarr A & P Chapter 11These are vocabulary words from Chapter 11 of the Human anatomy and Physiology Book, 6th edition, by Elaine B.

Epithelial tissues line the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels throughout the body, as well as the inner surfaces of cavities in many internal organs. An example is the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. There are three principal shapes of epithelial cell: squamous, columnar, and cuboidal. These can be arranged in a single layer of cells as simple epithelium, either squamous, columnar, cuboidal, pseudo-stratified columnar or in layers of two or more cells deep as stratified (layered), either squamous, columnar or cuboidal. All glands are made up of epithelial cells. Functions of epithelial cells include secretion, selective absorption, protection, transcellular transport, and sensing. Epithelial layers contain no blood vessels, so they must receive nourishment via diffusion of substances from the underlying connective tissue, through the basement membrane.

Multipolar Neurons Multipolar neurons are most common in the brain and spinal cord. They possess three or more dendrites and one long axon issuing from the cell body (Fig. 5-3A). A large motor neuron of the anterior horn of the spinal cord is one example of such a neuron. Bipolar Neurons In bipolar neurons, two processes, one on each end, arise from an elongated cell body (Fig. 5-3B). One process ends in dendrites, and the other process, an axon, ends in terminals in the CNS. These neurons have sensory functions and transmit information received by the dendrites on one end to the CNS via the axon terminals on the other end. Retinal bipolar cells, sensory cells of the cochlea, and ves-tibular ganglia are included in this category." }, { "docid": "D1527969#0", "title": "http://www.slideshare.net/fatimaalzahraa/specialized-cells-biology\nSpecialized Cells, Biology", "text": "Specialized Cells, Biology177,579 views Share Like Download...fatimaalzahraa Follow Published on Nov 24, 2013Specialized Cells, Biology, Human Body...

Overview The nervous system has two anatomical subdivisions: Central Nervous System (CNS) – The CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The CNS integrates, processes and coordinates. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) – The PNS is all of the nervous tissue outside of the CNS. The PNS can be further subdivided into: Afferent Division – Receptors of various kinds provide sensory input to the CNS. Efferent Division – carries motor commands effectors that include muscle cells and gland cells. The efferent division can be divided into: Somatic Nervous System (SNS) – The SNS controls skeletal muscle contractions. Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) – The ANS regulates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glandular activity. Cellular Organization in Neural Tissue Neural tissue contains two cell types:1.

Epithelium Epithelium lines both the outside (skin) and the inside cavities and lumen of bodies such as the skin, the airways, and the digestive tract. Many glands are also formed from epithelial tissue. It serves functions of protection, secretion, and absorption, and is separated from other tissues. Classification Epithelial cells are classified as: Squamous: All Squamous cells are flat cells withan irregular shape. A one-cell layer of simple squamous epithelium forms the alveoli of the respiratory membrane, and the endothelium of capillaries. These cells are associated with the diffusion of water, electrolytes, and other substances. Cuboidal: As the name suggests, these cells have a shape similar to a cube, meaning its width is the same size as its height." } ]

Meyer, Neil Anderson and R. E. Widmer Chrysanthemums, or \"\"mums,\"\" are popular perennials. They offer a wide variety of flower colors, from white and cream to dark maroon and burgundy, as well as numerous growth habits from small dwarf plants to giant shrub-like Maxi-Mums TM. Mums are easy to grow and can provide years of enjoyment if care is taken to select an appropriate variety; plant in a sunny, well drained, location; and provide winter protection. Planting time Plant chrysanthemums in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Small plants derived from rooted cuttings, divisions, or rooted suckers of old plants can be used. Larger container plants purchased from garden centers may be planted anytime during the spring, summer, or early fall. Soil, site, and fertilizer Garden chrysanthemums grow best in a variety of soils but must have excellent drainage conditions. Growth is poor and winterkill likely in poorly drained wet soils. Sunny locations are good sites. Plants in semishady locations will be taller, have weaker stems, and bloom later in the fall." }, { "docid": "D3216637#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faribault,_Minnesota\nFaribault, Minnesota", "text": "\"Faribault, Minnesota From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the city of Faribault, Minnesota.

Appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences November 26, the results solve a long-standing debate and reveal how pollution plays into climate warming. The work can also provide a gauge for the accuracy of weather and climate models. Researchers had thought that pollution causes larger and longer-lasting storm clouds by making thunderheads draftier through a process known as convection. But atmospheric scientist Jiwen Fan and her colleagues show that pollution instead makes clouds linger by decreasing the size and increasing the lifespan of cloud and ice particles. The difference affects how scientists represent clouds in climate models. \"\" This study reconciles what we see in real life to what computer models show us,\"\" said Fan of the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. \"\" Observations consistently show taller and bigger anvil-shaped clouds in storm systems with pollution, but the models don't always show stronger convection. Now we know why. \"\" Also, pollution can decrease the daily temperature range via such clouds: High clouds left after a thunderstorm spread out across the sky and look like anvils." } ]

Even fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas were once plants that obtained their energy from the sun and over millions of years of heat and pressure they have been transformed into the hydrocarbons of today. The earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle. It is slightly elliptical, about a 2% deviation from a perfect circle. This makes only a very slight difference (about 0.1% variation) in the amount of energy that hits the earth over the course of a complete orbit. The earth is also a bit \"\"tilted\"\" while in orbit to the sun which gives rise to our seasons. When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, we are in summer, whereas when it is tilted away from the sun, we have winter. The angle of tilt varies from 22 to 24 degrees. In addition, the axis of rotation has a slight wobble to it which also slightly affects temperatures. In about 30,000 years, earth’s orbit will have changed enough to reduce the sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere to the levels that started the last ice age." }, { "docid": "D218119#0", "title": "http://www.slideshare.net/rmarchetto/weather-and-climate-2120822\nWeather and Climate", "text": "Weather and Climate27,744 views Share Like Download...

Some researchers say decrease of DTR is evidence of “climate change”. Others say the decrease in DTR leveled off in the 1990s.20th Century Trends in DTRIn 1997 Easterling et al (“Maximum and Minimum Temperature Trends for the Globe”, Science, Vol.227, July 1997 [ http://www.met.sjsu.edu/~jin/METR112/paper/Scienceminmax.pdf ]) reported: “ Analysis of the global mean surface air temperature has shown that its increase is due, at least in part, to differential changes in daily maximum and minimum temperatures, resulting in a narrowing of the diurnal temperature range (DTR). ”“ Analysis has shown that this rise [i.e. global mean surface air temperature] has resulted, in part, from the daily minimum temperature increasing at a faster rate or decreasing at a slower rate than the daily maximum, resulting in a decrease in the DTR for many parts of the world. Decreases in the DTR were first identified in the United States, where large-area trends show that maximum temperatures have remained constant or have increased only slightly, whereas minimum temperatures have increased at a faster rate. ”“ Local effects such as urban growth, irrigation, desertification, and variations in local land use can all affect the DTR; in particular, urbanized areas often show a narrower DTR than nearby rural areas. Large-scale climatic effects on the DTR include increases in cloud cover, surface evaporative cooling from precipitation, greenhouse gases, and tropospheric aerosols. Recent studies have demonstrated a strong relation between trends of the DTR and decreases in pan evaporation over the former Soviet Union and the United States, suggesting that the DTR decrease in these areas is influenced by increases of cloud amount and reduced insolation. ”" }, { "docid": "D160805#0", "title": "https://weatherspark.com/m/17578/10/Average-Weather-in-October-in-Fort-Myers-Florida-United-States\nAverage Weather in October in Fort Myers Florida, United States", "text": "Average Weather in October in Fort Myers Florida, United States Daily high temperatures decrease by 5°F, from 88°F to 83°F, rarely falling below 77°F or exceeding 92°F.

Avg. global temp=15 C.- Over short periods of time and regions, imbalances in surface energy budget can result in temperature increasing or decreasing when energy is either stored or removed from the system.- Temperature changes are driven by the difference in incoming solar radiation gains versus outgoing terrestrial energy losses.- The surface exchanges energy with the air by conduction, convection, turbulent mixing of the winds, and radiative and latent heat fluxes.- Diurnal Temperature Cycle- the repeating pattern of daily temperatures.- Diurnal Temperature Range- the differences between the minimum and maximum temperatures on any given day.- Daily Mean Temperature- averaging the maximum and minimum temperature for a 24 hour period.- Similar temperature cycles also occur on monthly, annual, and interannual time scales.- 5 major factors cause energy imbalances for annual temperature cycle: Latitude, Surface Type, Elevation and Aspect, Relation to large bodies of water, and cloud cover.o Latitude- angle of inclination affects incoming solar energy and causes the seasonal cycle in temperature. The amount of energy at the top of the atmosphere is called Insolation. ** Higher insolation =Higher temperatures. Insolation levels affected by latitude.o Surface Type- Because the atmosphere is heated by the Earth’s surface, the surface type plays an important role in the surface air temperature.o Elevation and Aspect- Higher altitude generally has colder temps b/c the air is less dense and there are fewer molecules to absorb incoming solar radiation.§ Aspect is the direction that a mountain slope faces-south facing slopes receive more solar energy and are warmer than north-facing.o Large Bodies of Water- Act to thermally stabilize the temperature of the surrounding air, so that differences between months are reduced. Due to water’s high specific heat (more heat required to increase the temperature of water and it cools down much slower than land). Temperature of nearby water also modifies a region’s temperature.o Cloud Cover- clouds reflect and absorb solar energy. They reduce the amount of solar radiation at the surface causing daytime cooling and have a warming effect, which can be very pronounced at night, when they emit longwave radiation toward the surface.- Global temperatures have increased approximately 6 degrees C over the last 120 years.- Same 5 factors affect diurnal temperature cycle: latitude, surface type, elevation and aspect, relationship to large bodies of water, and cloud cover.- Diurnal temperature cycle has air temperature increasing all morning long to an incoming solar energy peak at noon. After noon, the energy gains still exceed the losses until around 4 pm when maximum daily temperature is reached." } ]

Essbase, whose name derives from \"\"extended spreadsheet database\"\", began as a product of Arbor Software, which merged with Hyperion Software in 1998. Oracle Corporation acquired Hyperion Solutions Corporation in 2007, as of 2009 Oracle marketed Essbase as \"\"Oracle Essbase\"\" (an on-premises product) and more recently, Essbase is offered as part of the \"\"Oracle Analytics Cloud\"\". Until late 2005 IBM also marketed the product – as DB2 OLAP Server. [ 1]The database researcher E. F. Codd coined the term \"\"on-line analytical processing\"\" ( OLAP) in a whitepaper [2] that set out twelve rules for analytic systems (an allusion to his earlier famous set of twelve rules defining the relational model ). This whitepaper, published by Computerworld, was somewhat explicit in its reference to Essbase features, and when it was later discovered that Codd had been sponsored by Arbor Software, Computerworld withdrew the paper. [ 3]In contrast to \"\"on-line transaction processing\"\" ( OLTP ), OLAP defines a database technology optimized for processing human queries rather than transactions. The results of this orientation were that multidimensional databases oriented their performance requirements around a different set of benchmarks ( Analytic Performance Benchmark, APB-1) than that of RDBMS ( Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC)). Hyperion renamed many of its products in 2005, giving Essbase an official name of Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic Services, but the new name was largely ignored by practitioners. The Essbase brand was later returned to the official product name for marketing purposes, but the server software still carried the \"\"Analytic Services\"\" title until it was incorporated into Oracle's Business Intelligence Foundation Suite (BIFS) product.

Those aspects include business transformation, business process rationalization, business or capability-driven solution development, application rationalization, transformation of IT to the cloud, server consolidation, service management and deployment, building systems of systems architectures, and so forth. Most simply, users use EA and System Architect to build diagrammatic and textual models of any and all aspects of their organization, including the who, what, where, when, why, and how things are done so they can understand the current situation, and plan for the future. Parts of the EA can be harvested from existing sources of information in the organization—auto-discovery of network architectures, database architectures, etc. The users building the models are typically enterprise architects, business architects, business analysts, data architects, software architects, and so forth. This information can be viewed by all stakeholders of the organization — including its workers, management, and outside vendors (depending on the level of access they have been granted to the information), through generation of the information to a static website, or enabling direct web-access to the information in the repository. The stakeholders can use this information to get answers to questions about the organization's architecture in the form of visual diagrams and reports that produce textual information, pie charts, and other dashboards." }, { "docid": "D871274#0", "title": "https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/six%20sigma%20green%20belt.do\nSix Sigma Green Belt Jobs", "text": "Permanent IT Jobs Contract IT Jobs Period 6 months 3 months to 30 March 2018The following table provides summary statistics for permanent job vacancies with a requirement for Six Sigma Green Belt qualifications.

If you compare Baan ERP and SAP ERP according to their global customer base, SAP will stand far ahead of Baan. Infor Baan has 1,448 client businesses across the world, whereas, 12,797 companies worldwide use SAP ERP for managing business. Unlike the wide global customer network of SAP ERP, Baan has its own network of companies that are their long-term satisfied customers. For marketers who are planning to increase visibility of their brands and technology offerings, they should equally focus on targeting decision makers from both Baan ERP and SAP ERP software using companies. Authentic market vendors such as Technology User Lists can provide compact database with detailed list of companies that use Baan ERP and SAP ERP that can help marketers to strengthen their campaign foundation and maximize campaign success. You need to be very much proactive in order to obtain the contact database of SAP and BAAN ERP customers.

Microsoft Power BI is a great tool for end users because it really captures a users attention with beautiful visualizations and has a very nice (probably the best) native i OS and Android App on the Business Intelligence arena. I tried a lot a B. I. tools out there, ranging from IBM Cognos, Jaspersoft AWS edition, Microsoft Power BI, Google Data Studio and more recently AWS Quick Sight. At the beginning of 2016 we where looking for a cloud-first Business Intelligence solution for small companies that just can’t afford a legacy licensing + on-premises product. That’s where we happen to cross with Power BI and immediately tried it out and in very few days achieved what we wanted: bar charts and tables with information pulled out from My SQL. So we created some demos and captured the attention of some companies that, after testing side-by-side Power BI and Google Data Studio, decided for the latter. One company choose Power BI for having an i OS App. So we built that project using AWS My SQL Aurora and made most of the calculations on it. Our first obstacle with Power BI is that it is designed for Windows developers because the only tool to build the reports and dashboards runs on Windows. Power BI Desktop installation was not straight forward (a full set of prerequisites if you are not running on Windows 10)." }, { "docid": "D2861380#0", "title": "http://www.gbjournal.org/making-pastors-pay-bi-vocational-salaries/\nMaking it on a Pastorâs Pay: Bi-vocational Salaries", "text": "Standard Posted by General Baptist Ministries Posted on November 4, 2014Posted under Congregrational Ministries, General Baptists, Pastoring Comments1 Comment Making it on a Pastor’s Pay: Bi-vocational Salaries By Franklin Dumond The bi-vocational pastor serves the church while also working as a business owner or as an employee in the secular world. This New Testament pattern of tent-making ministry remains a fact of life for many small to mid-sized churches in the 21 st century. Nevertheless, the bi-vocational pastor faces the tension of balancing company time with church time while being fair to both. A number of variables determine how much time a bi-vocational pastor may give to the church. Some bi-vocational pastors are, for all practical purposes, full-time since their business or professional life offers broad discretion in their time usage. They are able to give extended periods of time to the church or to easily and quickly adjust their work schedules to meet the emergency demands of the congregation. Many congregations with bi-vocational pastors only offer programs and ministries that are connected to the stated worship times of the church. For many of them the church building is empty most of the time. This generally reduces the time demands placed on the pastor. These pastors work a full time job and still easily meet the limited demands of the church since most of those time demands are ‘church’ times." }, { "docid": "D1657288#0", "title": "http://phlebotomytechnicianprogram.org/phlebotomy-salary-seattle-wa/\nPhlebotomy Salary Seattle Wa", "text": "Phlebotomy Salary Seattle Wa Phlebotomist Jobs In Seattle, WA On Career Builder.com Salary Calculator; hire INSIDER; Phlebotomist Jobs … Collects appropriate samples for testing, including phlebotomy procedures, venous and capillary punctures, and urine … Your weekly email alert was successfully created for Phlebotomist Jobs in Seattle, WA You can modify job alerts at …Certified Phlebotomy Technician Salary In Seattle, WA …Average Certified Phlebotomy Technician Salary in Seattle, WA: $35,000.

E. Miller Last updated: January 25, 2018 267 Comments Comcast, or “ XFinity ” as they like to call themselves these days, had thrown me for a bit of a loop lately. The live-chat method had always worked for me in getting discounts and promotions on Comcast services, but lately they’ve been sticklers. I had written an old post on Get Rich Slowly in the past that highlighted how to cut your Comcast bill – and gave the actual chat transcript that cut my cost by 33%. Lately, I hadn’t had as much luck with their live chat team. Perhaps part of the problem I’ve run into was that I had been getting discounted high speed internet (while still paying full price for cable). Then again, maybe they read that post and decided to “toughen up” the live chat team. Sure, I could get rid of cable completely. But college and pro football is right around the corner and I’m an addict! So I decided to go back to my old method of getting a Comcast discount – a good ole’ fashion phone negotiation. Before I go into the negotiation and what the result was, I’ll first highlight what my package and price was: Digital Basic Cable with HD DVR: $83/month (full price)Blast Cable Internet (25MB/s): $30/month (discounted)Total price: $113 per month." }, { "docid": "D1221115#0", "title": "http://www.cabletv.com/xfinity/phone-number\nTo Get Xfinity from Comcast CALL NOW!", "text": "\"To Get Xfinity from Comcast CALL NOW!1-855-399-1542Contact Xfinity from Comcast Today!Give Comcast a Call Looking to get the entertainment you want at the speeds you need?

Some are ludicrous but some are very legitimate. By Samara Lynn June 11, 2014 3:20PM ESTFacebook Twitter Linkedin Pinterest Reddit Email Copy Logically, Comcast's Xfinity Wi-Fi public hotspot rollout makes perfect sense. By using devices that customers already have, it can blanket municipalities and other areas with robust Wi-Fi. As our Internet dependency increases, we need more widespread and speedy connections. And of course, it's the perfect business model. Comcast gets a fairly cheap way to extend its network—by having its customers pay for the equipment!Customers in select cities with Comcast-assigned wireless gateway modems have a primary, private wireless network and a secondary network. This second network is broadcast publically, and is available to those who are not even Comcast customers (on a time-limited basis or for a fee, however).

Comcast Preventing Customers From Accessing Starz Streaming App, Can Only Offer Flimsy Reasons Whyfrom the anti-competitive-shenanigans dept Last year, we noted that Comcast was refusing to let the company's customers access HBO's streaming video service on certain platforms. In order to watch a service like HBO Go on your Roku or, say, gaming console, you need to log in using your cable credentials, as with most \"\"TV Everywhere\"\" type services. Most cable operators had no problem quickly enabling this authentication, but when it came to say -- HBO Go on Roku or the Playstation 3 or 4, Comcast refused to let the services work. Why? If users can't access this content via a third-party app, they're more likely to watch the content on Comcast's own apps, devices, and services. Of course Comcast can't just come out and admit this, so when asked why it's having so much trouble getting this kind of authentication to work, it offers a rotating crop of excuses to news outlets, including claims such efforts just take \"\" time and resources \"\": \"\"With every new website, device or player we authenticate, we need to work through technical integration and customer service which takes time and resources.

Roberts said in a short statement. \"\" Of course, we would have liked to bring our great products to new cities, but we structured this deal so that if the government didn't agree, we could walk away. \"\" The failure of the deal represents a major blow to the firm, which has lobbied hard for the last year to get the deal approved by federal regulators. A central issue in the debate over the merger is whether Comcast poses a threat to the growth of new, internet-based video services that compete with Comcast's old-fashioned cable television service. Critics have pointed out that Comcast has a history of making business decisions that hobble streaming services like Netflix. According to media reports, regulators at the Department of Justice and the Federal Communications Commission found these arguments persuasive enough that they were planning to try to stop the deal. The failure of the deal is the latest sign of a more hostile regulatory climate for large telecommunications mergers.

I didn’t know it at the time of installation, but on my first bill, I noticed that Comcast started charging me $3 to rent this modem. That’s right – for the privilege of paying them $40 a month for internet service, I also had to pay $3 per month to rent the equipment to do it (that price has skyrocketed to $11 per month today).

As its name indicates, the DOC focuses on promoting American businesses both in the United States and overseas. The department also gathers economic and demographic data to measure the well-being of the economy, promotes U. S. exports, enforces international trade agreements, regulates the export of sensitive goods and technologies, and issues patents and trademarks. But then there are Commerce’s non-business duties, such as overseeing scientific data that helps forecast the weather and determine the health of the world’s oceans. Altogether, Commerce maintains a fairly low profile in comparison to other cabinet-level departments, although that does not mean it is above causing controversy, especially when it involves the census or the issuing of patents. In January 2012, President Barack Obama announced his intention to restructure the DOC as part of a cost-cutting reorganization of the federal bureaucracy. To accomplish this, he has asked Congress to create legislation that would grant him the power to make such changes with a majority congressional vote.more History: The Department of Commerce and Labor was created in 1903 at the direction of President Theodore Roosevelt. The combined missions of the new department didn’t last long, as officials in Washington soon realized the need to have a federal agency that was exclusively devoted to promoting American business.

What is Patent Term Restoration? Patents issued by the Patent Trademark Office (PTO) grant patent holders the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention. The granting of this exclusive right is designed to encourage innovation. The patent holder is likely to reap greater profits if protected from direct competition. These profits are intended to serve as incentives for creating innovative products that benefit the public. The Uruguay Rounds Agreements Act (Public Law 103-465), which became effective on June 8, 1995, changed the patent term in the United States. Before June 8, 1995, patents typically had 17 years of patent life from the date the patent was issued. Patents granted after the June 8, 1995 date now have a 20-year patent life from the date of the first filing of the patent application. However, the effective patent term is frequently less than 20 years because patents are often obtained before products are actually marketed." }, { "docid": "D2245564#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_registration\nTrademark", "text": "\"Trademark From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Trademark registration)navigation search For other uses, see Trademark (disambiguation).

Between 1897 and 1914, Dreser worked for Bayer, the former dye factory that was to become the first of the world's pharmaceutical giants, in Wuppertal, north-west Germany. Friedrich Engels was born there. While Dreser made less of a mark on history, you could argue he had the greater influence on the 20th century. As head of Bayer's pharmacological laboratory, he was responsible for the launch of two drugs that have shaped the way we live: aspirin, the world's most successful legal drug; and heroin, the most successful illegal one. Aspirin, of which the world now consumes 40 billion tablets a year, was launched 100 years ago next February. A fanfare of publicity will mark the centenary.

Lucky is currently operated by Save Mart Supermarkets in Northern California. In 1998, Lucky's parent company, American Stores, was taken over by Albertsons, and by 1999 the Lucky brand had disappeared. On January 23, 2006, Super Valu, CVS Pharmacy and an investment group led by Cerberus Capital Management announced they had agreed to acquire Albertsons for $17.4 billion. Existing Albertsons stores were divided between Supervalu and the Cerberus-led group; the Cerberus-acquired stores became Albertsons, which then sold its Northern California and Northern Nevada stores to Save Mart Supermarkets. In 2006, both Super Valu and Save Mart began re-branding some Albertsons locations as Lucky stores, using the old logo. However, the same year, Grocery Outlet, an unrelated Northern California retailer, also began branding some of its stores as Lucky, claiming that Albertsons had given up rights to the Lucky trademark when it retired the brand in 1999.

John Pemberton concocted the Coca Cola formula in a three legged brass kettle in his backyard. The name was a suggestion given by John Pemberton's book keeper Frank Robinson. It was a prohibition law, enacted in Atlanta in 1886, that persuaded physician and chemist Dr. John Stith Pemberton to rename and rewrite the formula for his popular nerve tonic, stimulant and headache remedy, \"\"Pemberton's French Wine Coca,\"\" sold at that time by most, if not all, of the city's druggists. So when the new Coca-Cola debuted later that year - still possessing \"\"the valuable tonic and nerve stimulant properties of the coca plant and cola nuts,\"\" yet sweetened with sugar instead of wine - Pemberton advertised it not only as a \"\"delicious, exhilarating, refreshing and invigorating\"\" soda-fountain beverage but also as the ideal \"\"temperance drink.\"\" It is said coke was discovered when De Luise, a 19th century American soda jerk accidentally hit the soda water spigot, adding carbonated water to the syrup in the glass. The result was a \"\"happy accident\"\": the invention of Coca-Cola. Though Pemberton died just two years later - five months, in fact, after his March 24, 1888, filing for incorporation of the first Coca-Cola Co. - the trademark he and his partners created more than one hundred years ago can claim wider recognition today than that of any other brand in the world. John Pemberton And the Coca-Cola beverage, whose unit sales totaled a mere 3,200 servings in 1886 (\"\"nine drinks per day\"\" based on the twenty-five gallons of syrup sold to drugstores by Pemberton Chemical Co.), is today called the world's most popular soft drink - accounting for billions of servings at restaurants in 195 countries. Such is the commercial legacy of a onetime Confederate lieutenant colonel who earned his medical degree at the age of nineteen, who served on the first Georgia pharmacy licensing board, who set up a top-rated laboratory for chemical analysis and manufacturing, and who, in his dozen-and-a-half years in Atlanta, established eighteen business ventures - including one, the Coca-Cola Co., which now can boast 1995 sales in excess of $15 billion." } ]

It is estimated that between 1,500 and 2,000 languages are spoken here, many with their own set of varying dialects. To make things even more confusing, in many countries the official language is not the same as the lingua franca - that is, the language spoken by the majority of its citizens. If you're planning a trip to Africa, it's a good idea to research both the official language and the lingua franca of the country or region you're traveling to. In this way, you can attempt to learn a few key words or phrases before you go. This can be difficult - especially when a language isn't written phonetically (like Afrikaans), or includes click consonants (like Xhosa) - but making the effort will be greatly appreciated by the people that you meet on your travels. If you're traveling to an ex-colony (like Mozambique, Namibia or Senegal), you'll find that European languages can also come in handy - although be prepared for the Portuguese, German or French that you hear there to sound quite different than it would in Europe. In this article, we look at the official and most widely spoken languages for some of Africa's top travel destinations, arranged in alphabetical order.

The name comes from the plural of the Arabic word sawāhil ‘coast’. ‘ Ki-‘ is a prefix attached to nouns of the noun class that includes languages. Swahili is spoken in East Africa by different people along the coast from Somalia to Mozambique. It serves as a lingua franca for most of East Africa. Status The status of Swahili as an international language results from its strategic location on the coast of East Africa. The Swahili-speaking populations on the East African coast served as intermediaries between the Bantu -speaking peoples in the interior of Africa and the traders on the coast who came from South Asia and Arabia. The use of Swahili spread with the growth of commerce during the colonial period in the 19th-20th centuries. British control of important Swahili-speaking areas of Kenya and Tanzania resulted in the development of an international standard Swahili that was based on the educated speech of the island of Zanzibar . Swahili is spoken by 15.5 million people as a first or as a second language ( Ethnologue )." }, { "docid": "D3524644#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swazi_language\nSwazi language", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Swati language\"\" redirects here.

Most languages belong to language families. A language family is a group of related languages that developed from a common historic ancestor, referred to as protolanguage ( proto – means ‘early’ in Greek ). The ancestral language is usually not known directly, but it is possible to discover many of its features by applying the comparative method that can demonstrate the family status of many languages. Sometimes a protolanguage can be identified with a historically known language. Thus, provincial dialects of Vulgar Latin are known to have given rise to the modern Romance languages, so the *Proto-Romance language is more or less identical to Latin. Similarly, Old Norse was the ancestor of Norwegian , Swedish , Danish and Icelandic. Sanskrit was the protolanguage of many of the languages of the Indian subcontinent, such as Bengali , Hindi , Marathi, and Urdu. Further back in time, all these ancestral languages descended, in turn, from one common ancestor. We call this ancestor * Proto-Indo-European (PIE)." }, { "docid": "D1621588#0", "title": "http://aboutworldlanguages.com/French\nFrench", "text": "French By Irene Thompson | Updated October 1, 2015 by Jon Phillips Bienvenue – Welcome French (français) belongs to the Romance branch of the Indo-European language family. Like all Romance languages, it developed from Vulgar Latin spoken by the Roman invaders. Before the Roman invasion of what is France today, the territory was inhabited by a Celtic people whom the Romans called Gauls. The language of the Gauls had little impact on French. From the 3rd century on, Gaul was invaded by Germanic tribes whose languages had a profound effect on the Vulgar Latin of the region, especially on its vocabulary. In 1539, King Francis I made French the official language of administration and court proceedings in France, replacing Latin as the official written language of the country. Following a period of unification and standardization, the language spoken in the 17th-18th centuries became the basis of modern French. From the 17th century on, French enjoyed the status of being the language of culture and diplomacy throughout the western world. European colonization brought French to the Americas, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia.

Although only a few hundred languages have more than a million speakers, the total number of mutually unintelligible forms of speech is something closer to 5,000, many of which are spoken by only tiny numbers of people. Linguists have grouped the world's languages into about 25 major families, each presumably descended from a common ancestor spoken in the distant past. Most of us have had experience with only a few languages, and it might seem that 5,000 is an enormous number. Actually, a few hundred years ago the number of languages in the world was probably closer to 7,000. Let's first take a closer look at the linguistic diversity that existed five hundred years ago. In 1500 there were probably about 7 thousand languages spoken across the earth, most still groupable into the 25 or so major families represented today. Although the number of major groupings is about the same, the number of languages in each group, as well as the relative number of speakers in each group has changed dramatically in the past 500 years. Today, one language family, Indo-European (which includes most languages of Europe, Iran and India) has come to dominate large areas of the world; one out of every two people on Earth is fluent in at least one Indo-European language.

South African Languages? Howzit bru? Here’s the lekker lowdown on local lingos and the official language of South Africa Last Update: February 17, 2017While countries the world over usually have one or perhaps two official languages, the post-Apartheid democratic constitution recognises 11 official languages as part of South Africa’s multi-cultural heritage. The decision to recognise so many languages was a pointed effort at elevating and advancing the indigenous tongues that were suppressed and given lower social status by the government before 1994. Today, thanks to our country’s rich and diverse melting pot population, the majority of South Africans are able to speak more than one language and will often employ several of them during a single conversation. English, which was brought over by the British back in the 1800s, is the lingua franca and is the most frequently used language in media and by politicians and government officials; although, speakers of Afrikaans, Xhosa, Zulu, Northern Sotho, Southern Sotho, Tsonga, Setswana, Venda, Swati and Ndebele can certainly find radio and TV programmes as well as newspapers in their mother tongue. Other unofficial languages recognised in the constitution include the Khoi, San and Nama languages, Sign language, Portuguese, Hindi and indigenous creoles. In order to encourage Mzansi’s multilingual diversity and advance the use of all the official languages, the Basic Education Department is initiating a pilot programme to introduce a third South African language into primary schools’ curriculum for the 2014 academic year (most schools teach English and Afrikaans or English and another South African language). The Western Cape Education Department is already considering introducing Xhosa, which is widely spoken in the province, to Grade R and One pupils in 80 schools.

No, they are not, it is like talking that modern rich urban Hindi which consists of many English words, is linguistically related to English. Even the actual script of Urdu was not formed directly out of Arabic one, but from Persian script, through developing Arabic script. Urdu is thus more historically related to Persian than Arabic. ( Because it was popularised by rulers who made Persian replace Sanskrit as lingua franca and court language) Even in the pronunciation of letters, Urdu speakers seem to concur with the Persian pronunciation rather than Arabic. For example, letters like ص, where Persian and Urdu pronunciation agree with each other (which confuse between the other two \"\"s\"\"s too) while Arabic has a distinct original pronunciation that can be approximated to /sˤ/. Moreover, the actual script of Urdu is derived from Nasta'liq, a cursive writing with scope for Indian aspirated consonants as well as nasals (nun gunnah). This writing is a Persian influence and development of the Arabic script. As a result, Urdu speakers can read Arabic well, but Arabs find it hard to read the cursive script of Urdu." }, { "docid": "D477413#0", "title": "http://languagesgulper.com/eng/Khoisan.html\n.", "text": "Alternative Names: Khoesaan, Khoesan.

Sick Leave Usage Limits Per Leave Year An employee is entitled to use up to 104 hours (13 days) of sick leave each leave year for the purposes outlined above. Definition of Family Member The definition of family member covers a wide range of relationships, including spouse; parents; parents-in-law; children; brothers; sisters; grandparents; grandchildren; step parents; step children; foster parents; foster children; guardianship relationships; same sex and opposite sex domestic partners; and spouses or domestic partners of the aforementioned, as applicable. The list of family members for whom an employee may request sick leave for family care or bereavement purposes (as well as important associated definitions for the terms son or daughter, parent, domestic partner, and committed relationship) may be found on our fact sheet Definitions Related to Family Member and Immediate Relative. When an employee requests sick leave to care for a family member, the agency may require the employee to document his or her relationship with that family member. Agencies should establish consistent rules and follow the same documentation requirements for all relationships, but agencies have authority to request additional information in cases of suspected leave abuse. Advanced Sick Leave At the discretion of the agency, up to 104 hours (13 days) of sick leave may be advanced to an employee, when required by the exigencies of the situation, for family care or bereavement purposes. For further details, please see our fact sheet entitled Advanced Sick Leave. Requesting Sick Leave An employee must request sick leave within such time limits as the agency may require. To the extent possible, an employee may be required to request advanced approval for sick leave to attend to a family member who is receiving medical, dental, or optical examination or treatment, to care for a sick family member, or for bereavement purposes." }, { "docid": "D2691840#0", "title": "http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/87/1/07-046375/en/\nElimination of endemic measles transmission in Australia", "text": "\"Elimination of endemic measles transmission in Australia Anita E Heywood a, Heather F Gidding b, Michaela A Riddell c, Peter B Mc Intyre a, C Raina Mac Intyre a & Heath A Kelly ca.

Medical research can be divided into two general categories: the evaluation of new treatments for both safety and efficacy in what are termed clinical trials, and all other research that contributes to the development of new treatments. The latter is termed preclinical research if its goal is specifically to elaborate knowledge for the development of new therapeutic strategies. A new paradigm to biomedical research is being termed translational research, which focuses on iterative feedback loops between the basic and clinical research domains to accelerate knowledge translation from the bedside to the bench, and back again. Medical research may involve doing research on public health, biochemistry, clinical research, microbiology, physiology, oncology, surgery and research on many other non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The increased longevity of humans over the past century can be significantly attributed to advances resulting from medical research. Among the major benefits have been vaccines for measles and polio, insulin treatment for diabetes, classes of antibiotics for treating a host of maladies, medication for high blood pressure, improved treatments for AIDS, statins and other treatments for atherosclerosis, new surgical techniques such as microsurgery, and increasingly successful treatments for cancer. New, beneficial tests and treatments are expected as a result of the Human Genome Project. Many challenges remain, however, including the appearance of antibiotic resistance and the obesity epidemic.

Go to: Abstract In this glossary the authors have reviewed old and new terms contemporarily used in the infectious disease epidemiology. Many of these concepts were established throughout the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century (classic terms), however, the meanings of old terms have been revised and new terms are continually being added. This glossary has therefore reviewed the classic and the more recently established terminology defining the most relevant terms contemporarily used in this field. Keywords: glossary, infectious diseases Infectious diseases constituted the most serious health issue in the world until the beginning of the 20th century when chronic degenerative diseases began to dominate this scenario in developed countries. Plagues and cholera used to devastate significant proportions of the populations of the great European cities. 1, 2In his classic Plagues and Peoples, 3Mc Neill analyses the importance of infectious diseases in the history of humanity and concludes that the role of infectious diseases in the set of factors that defined the course of the historical evolution of human civilisation has been underestimated, and considers that this role was as important as that of economic and military determinants. The importance that the occurrence of these diseases, principally in the form of epidemics, had in forming the dominant political, social, and theological opinion of the different human societies in medieval and modern times was fundamental in the definition and adoption of many of the pathways that led to civilisation. 4 The explosive characteristics and unpredictability of epidemics are a cause of fear, insecurity, and panic even today, as could be clearly seen during the recent SARS epidemic." }, { "docid": "D3161547#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/Is_diarrhea_a_communicable_disease\nIs diarrhea a communicable disease?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Conditions and Diseases Diarrhea Is diarrhea a communicable disease?

Virulence depends on virulence factors Term Describe the term “normal microbiota”Definition Normal microbiota refers to the organism that colonizes the body’s surfaces without normally causing disease. In-utero, the fetus is free of normal flora in normal circumstances; the process of being colonized (establishment of microbial growth) with normal flora typically begins during the birthing process: MO of the GI tract MO of the skin MO of the genitourinary tract. Other forms of normal flora are acquired throughout the early years of life via environmental exposure: Food that we eat Person-to-person contact Environmental/airborne organisms Term Describe the terms resident and transient microbiota Definition Resident microbiota permanently colonizes the host and is established during the first months of life.

National Surveillance Case Definitions for the Australian National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System Foreword A working group of CDNA was convened in 2001 to revise and develop standard surveillance case definitions for all nationally notifiable diseases for reporting to the NNDSS. The surveillance case definitions were progressively developed through a consensus approach over a number of years. The Case Definitions Working Group currently comprises members representing all jurisdictions and the Australian Government Department of Health, the Public Health Laboratory Network, Oz Food Net, the Kirby Institute, the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance and other communicable disease experts.

A simple yellow flag (also called the \"\"Yellow Jack\"\") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is a 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [ 1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [ 2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is \"\"to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy\"\". [ 3] The word comes from an Italian variant (seventeenth-century Venetian) of 'quaranta giorni', meaning forty days, the period that all ships were required to be isolated before passengers and crew could go ashore during the Black Death plague epidemic.

Two subspecies exist: F. tularensis tularensis (also known as Jellison type A) and F. tularensis holarctica (Jellison type B). F. tularensis tularensis is found in lagomorphs in North America and is highly virulent for humans and domestic rabbits; F. tularensis holarctica is less virulent and occurs in beaver, muskrats and voles in North America and in hares and small rodents in Eurasia. Geographic Distribution Tularemia occurs in North America, continental Europe, Russia, China and Japan. The subspecies F. tularensis tularensis is found in North America; F. tularensis holarctica is seen in North America and Eurasia. Transmission F. tularensis can be transmitted by ingestion, inhalation, arthropod-borne transfer or direct contact through the skin and mucous membranes. Organisms are found in the blood and tissues of infected animals and can survive for long periods on fomites including food and water. Aquatic animals may develop tularemia after being immersed in contaminated water. Carnivores sometimes become infected after ingesting a contaminated carcass. Vectors for F. tularensis tularensis include ticks (including Dermacentor andersoni, D. variabilis and Amblyomma americanum) and biting flies (particularly deerflies)." } ]

Madeleine Lebeau played Yvonne, the jilted lover of Humphrey Bogart's Rick Blaine, in the 1942 film. Lebeau's stepson told The Hollywood Reporter that she had died aged on May 1 in Estepona, Spain aged 92, after breaking her thigh bone. The French-born actress was preceded in death by all of her credited Casablanca co-stars, including leads Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.+3Iconic role: The last surviving Casablanca actress Madeleine Lebeau has died aged 92; she is seen in the 1942 movie in her role as Yvonne In Casablanca Lebeau's Yvonne was rejected by Bogart's Rick following a one-night stand. She was seen drowning her sorrows at his nightclub, before making another drunken pass at him, after which he tasked a bartender with taking her home. Yvonne later returned on the arm of a German soldier. In a memorable scene from the movie as the French patrons and German drinkers battled to sing their national anthems, Yvonne cried and shouted Vive La France as she performed the Le Marseillaise. When Lebeau filmed Casablanca, she and her Jewish actor husband Marcel Dalio had just fled France themselves, escaping Paris in 1940 shortly before the Germans invaded. They reached Lisbon and after a wait received Chilean exit visas.+3The French-born actress was preceded in death by all of her Casablanca co-stars, including Humphrey Bogart But in a scene worthy of Hollywood itself, when their ship docked in Mexico they and 200 others were said to have been left stranded, with their purchased visas found to be fake. The couple eventually received temporary Canadian visas and entered the U. S.

Stuck by the coincidence and by the atmosphere of pre-war Europe, Burnett wrote a play entitled Everybody Goes to Rick's featuring \"\"As Time Goes By.\"\" He took the play to Broadway but couldn't get it produced and eventually sold it to Warner Bros. as a movie script.

Ing appears to have been an older rendering of the Nordic god Freyr, one of the most important gods among the ancient Norse. He was the “peace and prosperity” god who brought virility, fertility, sunny skies and warm weather. In other words, Freyr brought happy times to the mere mortals and was seen as an ancestor to the Swedish monarchy. In fact, the name Ing is probably derived from the Germanic “ingwaz” meaning “ancestor” and was also seen as an earlier ancestor to the Ingaevones tribe (North Sea Germanic peoples). However, what really propelled the interest in the name Ingrid among English speakers was the beautiful Swedish-born actress Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982). Ingrid is currently a Top 10 favorite in Norway and is also highly ranked in Sweden. It also shows up on the charts in Catalonia, Spain of all places. Popularity of the Name Ingrid Ingrid got a bumpy start in America showing up on the charts intermittently between 1913 and 1940. It was probably used among Scandinavian Americans enough to place her on the charts but with sporadic consistency." }, { "docid": "D1525592#0", "title": "http://www.nytimes.com/1995/11/09/garden/at-home-with-stephen-humphrey-bogart-here-s-looking-at-you-dad.html\nAT HOME WITH: Stephen Humphrey Bogart;Here's Looking at You, Dad", "text": "\"Archives | 1995AT HOME WITH: Stephen Humphrey Bogart;Here's Looking at You, Dad By CHARLES STRUMView page in Times Machine, Page 00008 The New York Times Archives RIDGEWOOD, N.

But he gives short shrift to, and ultimately fails to answer, the more compelling question he poses in the book: How did an actor who was limited to embodying the particular stresses of America in depression and war become inimitable—and immortal?

[1]Running time 101 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $1 million [2]Box office $24.5 million [3]Notorious is a 1946 American spy film noir directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains as three people whose lives become intimately entangled during an espionage operation. It was shot in late 1945 and early 1946, and was released by RKO Radio Pictures in August 1946. Notorious is considered by critics and scholars to mark a watershed for Hitchcock artistically, and to represent a heightened thematic maturity. His biographer, Donald Spoto, writes that \"\"Notorious is in fact Alfred Hitchcock's first attempt—at the age of forty-six—to bring his talents to the creation of a serious love story, and its story of two men in love with Ingrid Bergman could only have been made at this stage of his life.\"\" [ 4]Two scenes in the film have been widely cited as among Hitchcock's best: in one, Hitchcock starts wide and high on a second floor balcony overlooking the great hall of a grand mansion. Slowly he tracks down and in on Ingrid Bergman, finally ending with a tight close-up of a key tucked in her hand. [ 5] Hitchcock also devised a scene that circumvented the Production Code 's ban on kisses longer than three seconds by having his actors disengage every three seconds, murmur and nuzzle each other, then start again. The two-and-a-half-minute kiss was described by biographer Paul Duncan as \"\"perhaps his most intimate and erotic kiss\"\". [ 6] [7]In 2006, Notorious was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being \"\"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\"\".

So memorable was their on-screen chemistry, it's easy to forget they only appeared in two films together. Their first collaboration, the lyrical, vaguely comic western Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), was directed by George Roy Hill and saw Redford and Newman pour charisma into their roles as insouciant outlaws. Their next film was even better. A crafty, good-natured crime caper, The Sting (1973) reunited Hill with Redford and Newman and won seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. It's set in 1936 in a big, brawling Chicago teeming with gangsters, gamblers and con artists. Redford and Newman, dressed in snap-brim hats and sharp pin-striped suits, are cast again as old friends, this time as a couple of con men trying to fleece dangerous New York mobster Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw) out of a fortune. The swindle is as audacious as it is complex: in a nutshell, it involves creating a fake bookies, with fake horse-racing results, and persuading the cautious Doyle to bet big. Unfolding to the strains of Scott Joplin's toe-tapping piano rags, the film is steeped in period detail, with set decorator James Payne giddily recreating the Prohibition-era's city streets. A snappy script from David S Ward combines effortlessly with Hill's sleek direction, which uses technical devices – such as chapter headings – to make the plot easier to digest." }, { "docid": "D2269085#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/59504229/chapter-9-and-10-music-appreciation-vocab-flash-cards/\nChapter 9 and 10 Music Appreciation Vocab", "text": "\"61 terms michaihley Chapter 9 and 10 Music Appreciation Vocab Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Try diagrams on Quizlet!See what you're learning in a whole new way.

She is the daughter of Natalie Weinstein-Bacal, a Romanian Jewish immigrant, and William Perske, who was born in New Jersey, to Polish Jewish parents. Her family was middle-class, with her father working as a salesman and her mother as a secretary. They divorced when she was five. When she was a school girl, Lauren originally wanted to be a dancer, but later, she became enthralled with acting, so she switched gears to head into that field. She had studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York after high school, which enabled her to get her feet wet in some off-Broadway productions. Once out of school, Lauren entered modeling and, because of her beauty, appeared on the cover of Harper's Bazaar, one of the most popular magazines in the US. The wife of famed director Howard Hawks spotted the picture in the publication and arranged with her husband to have Lauren take a screen test. As a result, which was entirely positive, she was given the part of Marie Browning in To Have and Have Not (1944), a thriller opposite the great Humphrey Bogart, when she was just 19 years old.

The Case Against the Electoral Collegeby CAROLYN JEFFERSON-JENKINSNational Civic Review, Summer 2001, volume 90, issue 2, page 173We the people do not directly elect the president of the United States; the electoral college does. This election method may satisfy some people, but a desire for change is in the air. In Congress, in state legislatures, in newspapers, in magazines, and on television, the issue of electoral college reform is being widely discussed. The crux of the problem--for which every thinking citizen should have an informed answer--is this: What method of electing the president best serves the people of the United States in the twenty-first century? The electoral college, a curious vestige of the eighteenth century, violates the principle of one person, one vote. The time has come to abolish it. When the founders set up that system, democracy was practiced differently from today Women could not vote; African Americans could not vote; people without property could not vote. The men who wrote the Constitution were deeply mistrustful of popular opinion. Hence they set up the electoral college, theoretically composed of wise and prudent men who could be trusted with the job of picking a president." }, { "docid": "D312289#0", "title": "https://www.heritage.org/constitution/articles/2/essays/78/vice-president\nThe Heritage Guide to The Constitution", "text": "\"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Shestokas Filed Under: Constitution Educational Series Tagged With: article II, congress, constitution, impeachment, president, vice-president The President of the United States is considered to be the most powerful individual in the world. The principal source of this power is Article II of the US Constitution. Article II outlines term of office, the selection, the qualifications, the oath, the powers of appointment, the responsibilities and provisions for impeachment. This is done in about 1,000 words. The Constitution is a document of economy. It’s interesting that it does not say when the president’s term starts. It was the 20th Amendment 145 years later that fixed the date as January 20th. Article I, Section 7 defines the President’s power to approve or veto laws passed by Congress. Article I is devoted to Congress and the passage of laws, so while Article II is the principal source of presidential power, logically, presidential interactions with Congress are also in Article I.

It's been attempted hundreds of times to address controversial issues like gay marriage, abortion rights, and balancing the federal budget. Congress has been successful only 27 times since the Constitution was signed in September 1787. The first ten amendments are called the Bill of Rights because their aim is to protect certain freedoms granted to American citizens and to limit the power of the federal government. The remaining 17 amendments address a variety of topics, including voting rights, slavery, and the sale of alcohol. The first 10 amendments were ratified in December 1791. The most recent amendment, which prohibits Congress from giving itself a pay raise, was ratified in May 1992. How to Amend the Constitution Article V of the Constitution outlines the basic two-step process for amending the document:\"\"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate. \"\" Proposing an Amendment Either Congress or the States can propose an amendment to the Constitution.

The story of that creation in the summer of 1787 is itself a significant aspect in determining the meaning of the document. In June 1776, amid growing sentiment for American independence and after hostilities with the British army had commenced at Lexington, Massachusetts, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia introduced a resolution in the Second Continental Congress for the colonies to collectively dissolve political connections with Great Britain, pursue foreign alliances, and draft a plan of confederation. These actions resulted in the Declaration of Independence of 1776, the Franco-American Alliance of 1778, and the Articles of Confederation, which were proposed in 1777 and ratified in 1781. From its conception, the inherent weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation made it awkward at best and unworkable at worst. Each state governed itself through elected representatives, and the state representatives in turn elected a weak national government. There was no independent executive, and the Congress lacked authority to impose taxes to cover national expenses. Because all thirteen colonies had to ratify amendments, one state's refusal prevented structural reform; nine of thirteen states had to approve important legislation, which meant five states could thwart any major proposal. And although the Congress could negotiate treaties with foreign powers, all treaties had to be ratified by the states. The defects of the Articles became more and more apparent during the \"\"critical period\"\" of 1781–1787." }, { "docid": "D591872#0", "title": "https://www.boundless.com/political-science/textbooks/boundless-political-science-textbook/congress-11/the-nature-and-function-of-congress-76/the-house-and-the-senate-differences-in-responsibilities-and-representation-415-7701/\nThe Nature and Function of Congress", "text": "The House of Representatives The United States House of Representatives is one of the two houses of the United States Congress. Learning Objectives Discuss the organizational structure of the House of Representatives and the qualifications for its members Key Takeaways Key Points The major power of the House is to pass federal legislation that affects the entire country although its bills must also be passed by the Senate and further agreed to by the U. S. President before becoming law. Each U. S. state is represented in the House in proportion to its population but is entitled to at least one representative. The most populous state, California, currently has 53 representatives. In some states, the Republican and Democratic parties choose their candidates for each district in their political conventions in spring or early summer, which often use unanimous voice votes to reflect either confidence in the incumbent or because of bargaining in earlier private discussions. The House uses committees and their subcommittees for a variety of purposes, including the review of bills and the oversight of the executive branch. The entire House formally makes the appointment of committee members, but the choice of members is actually made by the political parties. The Constitution empowers the House of Representatives to impeach federal officials for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors and empowers the Senate to try such impeachment.

But Gouverneur Morris wanted the equality of admitted states to be struck because he feared the political power of the Western states would \"\"overwhelm\"\" the East. Over the objections of James Madison, his motion to strike out the requirement of equality won 7-2. He then moved to make sure that no state could be formed out of a previous state without the consent of the previous state as well as the \"\"general legislature\"\" (i.e., Congress). In this case as well, he wanted the Eastern states that still had claims to Western lands (e.g., Virginia, North Carolina) to have a veto over whether their western counties (which eventually became Kentucky and Tennessee) could become states. This motion passed 6-5. Like the question of the establishment of lower federal courts, the Convention effectively passed the issue of the status of newly admitted states over to the political process. Once the new Constitution went into effect, however, Congress admitted Vermont and Kentucky on equal terms and thereafter formalized the condition in its acts of admission for subsequent states, declaring that the new state enters \"\"on an equal footing with the original States in all respects whatever.\"\"" }, { "docid": "D2333947#0", "title": "http://www.tedkennedy.org/ownwords/event/voting_age/\nLowering the National Voting Age to 18", "text": "\"IN HIS OWN WORDSLowering the National Voting Age to 18Voting Age to 18 Testimony Before the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments March 9, 1970 | Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to have the opportunity to testify before this distinguished Subcommittee, and to give my strong support to the movement to lower the voting age to 18. I believe the time has come to lower the voting age in the United States, and thereby to bring American youth into the mainstream of our political process. To me, this is the most important single principle we can pursue as a nation if we are to succeed in bringing our youth into full and lasting participation in our institutions of democratic government. In recent years, a large number of Senators -- now totaling 73, I believe -- have expressed their support for Federal action to lower the voting age. In particular, I commend Senator Jennings Randolph, Senator Mike Mansfield, and Senator Birch Bayh for their extraordinary success in bringing this issue to the forefront among our contemporary national priorities. For nearly three decades, Senator Randolph has taken the lead in the movement to extend the franchise to our youth. For many years, Senator Mansfield, the distinguished majority leader in the Senate, has been one of the most eloquent advocates of reform in this area. Senator Bayh's extensive hearings in 1968, at which Senator Mansfield was the lead-off witness, helped generate strong and far-reaching support for the movement to lower the voting age, and his current hearings are giving the issue even greater momentum. The prospect of success is great, and I hope that we can move forward to accomplish our goal.

S. President before becoming law. Each U. S. state is represented in the House in proportion to its population but is entitled to at least one representative. The most populous state, California, currently has 53 representatives. In some states, the Republican and Democratic parties choose their candidates for each district in their political conventions in spring or early summer, which often use unanimous voice votes to reflect either confidence in the incumbent or because of bargaining in earlier private discussions. The House uses committees and their subcommittees for a variety of purposes, including the review of bills and the oversight of the executive branch. The entire House formally makes the appointment of committee members, but the choice of members is actually made by the political parties. The Constitution empowers the House of Representatives to impeach federal officials for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors and empowers the Senate to try such impeachment.

These prevailing winds, known as the trade winds, meet at the Intertropical Convergence Zone (also called the doldrums) between 5 degrees North and 5 degrees South latitude, where the winds are calm. The remaining air (air that does not descend at 30 degrees North or South latitude) continues toward the poles and is known as the westerly winds, or westerlies.

It is characterised by convective activity which generates often vigorous thunderstorms over large areas. It is most active over continental land masses by day and relatively less active over the oceans. Description The position of the ITCZ varies with the seasons, and lags behind the sun's relative position above the Earth's surface by about 1 to 2 months, and correlates generally to the thermal equator. Since water has a higher heat capacity than land, the ITCZ propagates poleward more prominently over land than over water, and over the Northern Hemisphere than over the Southern Hemisphere. In July and August, over the Atlantic and Pacific, the ITCZ is between 5 and 15 degrees north of the Equator, but further north over the land masses of Africa and Asia. In eastern Asia, the ITCZ may propagate up to 30 degrees north of the Equator. In January, over the Atlantic, the ITCZ generally sits no further south than the Equator, but extends much further south over South America, Southern Africa, and Australia. Over land, the ITCZ tends to follow the sun's zenith point. Where the trade winds are weak, the ITCZ is characterised by isolated Cumulus (Cu) and Cumulonimbus (Cb) cells." }, { "docid": "D2327589#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/5454712/geography-practice-questions-for-final-exam-flash-cards/\nGeography - practice questions for Final Exam", "text": "\"66 terms hannahleigh870Geography - practice questions for Final Exam Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

The westerlies (blue arrows) and trade winds (yellow and brown arrows)The trade winds are the prevailing pattern of easterly surface winds found in the tropics, within the lower portion of the Earth's atmosphere, in the lower section of the troposphere near the Earth's equator. The trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, strengthening during the winter and when the Arctic oscillation is in its warm phase. Trade winds have been used by captains of sailing ships to cross the world's oceans for centuries, and enabled colonial expansion into the Americas and trade routes to become established across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. In meteorology, the trade winds act as the steering flow for tropical storms that form over the Atlantic, Pacific, and southern Indian Oceans and make landfall in North America, Southeast Asia, and Madagascar and eastern Africa, respectively. Trade winds also transport African dust westward across the Atlantic Ocean into the Caribbean Sea, as well as portions of southeastern North America. Shallow cumulus clouds are seen within trade wind regimes, and are capped from becoming taller by a trade wind inversion, which is caused by descending air aloft from within the subtropical ridge.

Posted on 5 September 2014 by Rob Painting Key Points: Even though the ocean has warmed strongly, global 'surface' warming in the 21st century has been slower than previous decades. One of the prime suspects for this has been an increase in trade winds which help to mix heat into the subsurface ocean - part of a natural oscillation known as the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation ( IPO ). A recently published research paper, Chen & Tung (2014), claim that changes in the saltiness (salinity) of seawater in the North Atlantic is responsible for the decadal-scale variation in ocean heat uptake, rather than the IPO, as increased saltiness makes surface water denser and therefore facilitates the sink ing of water transported poleward. Chen & Tung's own analysis, however, shows that North Atlantic Ocean warming peaked in 2006 and has declined since that time whereas deep ocean warming, as a whole, has not. This new research affirms earlier work ( Meehl et [2011] & Meehl et al [2013]) implicating the increased, albeit likely temporary, mixing of heat down into deeper ocean layers as a key contributor to the slower rate of surface warming in the 21st century. Figure 1 - Ocean heating rates for the global ocean and individual ocean basins down to 1500 metres. The coloured lines represent the various ocean layers.

If the Earth didn't rotate, wind would travel the globe in straight lines. Instead, the spin of the earth causes winds to seemingly curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This curvature of the winds is known as the Coriolis effect. In the Northern Hemisphere, that means that the strong trade winds that originate in the northeast and blow westward pull the surface of the ocean along with them near the equator. Thanks to the coastline and the Coriolis effect, the warm-water current then heads north, turning at about 30 degrees north latitude. The westerlies take over then, completing the circuit. Blowing from the west, these winds guide the current eastward and south after they hit land. The two wind patterns create a continual circular pattern of wind flowing clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.10.1k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind -driven motion of dense, cooler, and usually nutrient -rich water towards the ocean surface, replacing the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted surface water. The nutrient-rich upwelled water stimulates the growth and reproduction of primary producers such as phytoplankton. Due to the biomass of phytoplankton and presence of cool water in these regions, upwelling zones can be identified by cool sea surface temperatures (SST) and high concentrations of chlorophyll-a.

Introduction. In this lecture we put together the knowledge we acquired in lectures 1-4 to understand the general circulation of the atmosphere and climate at and above the Earth's surface. We will learn about the global-scale motion system on Earth and how it divides the planet into different zones, distinguished from one another by their typical weather and climate. This division of the global climate system has had a significant impact on the development of civilization on Earth, because, as we shall later see, present day climate has been with us, more or less in the same way it is now, for the last 10,000 years or so. When time scales longer than that are considered (that is Earth's history on geological time scales) we find that the atmospheric general circulation and climate have undergone very large fluctuations. These were caused sometimes in response to changes in insolation , and other times because of geological changes on Earth itself (continents drifting, mountains rising, and land isthmuses opening to make way for the ocean). Understanding the way the climate system works is a real challenge today, because anthropogenic activity on Earth is introducing significant changes in atmospheric composition and surface properties (such as the increase in CO 2 and aerosol concentrations and deforestation), and we need to assess their future impact. This of course can not be fully addressed before we learn about the oceans and biomass, two other large participants in the climate system. We will return to the issue of climate change later in this class." }, { "docid": "D626253#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/10375490/grg-test-2-flash-cards/\nGRG Test 2", "text": "\"120 terms Sarah_Bobbi_Garcia GRG Test 2Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

The westerlies (blue arrows) and trade winds (yellow and brown arrows)The trade winds are the prevailing pattern of easterly surface winds found in the tropics, within the lower portion of the Earth's atmosphere, in the lower section of the troposphere near the Earth's equator. The trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, strengthening during the winter and when the Arctic oscillation is in its warm phase. Trade winds have been used by captains of sailing ships to cross the world's oceans for centuries, and enabled colonial expansion into the Americas and trade routes to become established across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. In meteorology, the trade winds act as the steering flow for tropical storms that form over the Atlantic, Pacific, and southern Indian Oceans and make landfall in North America, Southeast Asia, and Madagascar and eastern Africa, respectively. Trade winds also transport African dust westward across the Atlantic Ocean into the Caribbean Sea, as well as portions of southeastern North America. Shallow cumulus clouds are seen within trade wind regimes, and are capped from becoming taller by a trade wind inversion, which is caused by descending air aloft from within the subtropical ridge. The weaker the trade winds become, the more rainfall can be expected in the neighboring landmasses.

For the right homeowners, they can have a solid place in the world of kitchen countertop materials. This odd, unique, beautiful, and widely misunderstood natural stone countertop material is surrounded in such mystique that it draws in as many buyers as it does repel them. It is entirely appropriate to begin by dealing with the most obvious question that all prospective buyers have: softness. Myth: Soapstone Is As Soft As Soap Truth: Soapstone is not too soft to use for countertops. Yet it's not the most durable either.

According to Hanley Wood, the average kitchen is sized at roughly 200 square feet, and contains around thirty linear fee t of cabinetry and countertops. This makes it somewhat simple to understand what the \"\" average \"\" cost of a countertop replacement might be, right? Actually, the answer is that it isn't all that simple to select a single price range for such a project. Why not? The list of possible materials from which countertops are made can give a clear illustration of the point. For instance, there are countertops made from: Concrete;Stainless Steel;Natural Stone (including granite, slate, and marble);Wood (including butcher block, bamboo, and unsealed materials);Laminate;Solid Surfacing (including the famous Corian and Formica materials);Glass;Ceramic Tile; and Engineered Stone Each of the materials will come in a range of qualities and prices. Some are more suitable for specific homes and situations and some less so. For instance, a solid surface countertop is usually not for the individual who frequently places hot items on the counters as this can damage and discolor the surface. Additionally, prices will vary according to the type of edging selected, the number of holes required for such items as sinks, the kind of finish or treatment needed, and even by the type of sink that will be mounted into or beneath the countertop as well." }, { "docid": "D737923#0", "title": "http://www.improvenet.com/r/costs-and-prices/copper-countertops\nHow Much Do Copper Countertops Cost?", "text": "You take great pride in your kitchen and nothing exhibits this pride more than a brand new copper countertop.

It interferes with the orderly contraction of the atria or upper chambers of the heart. When the atria fibrillate, blood stagnates and clots can form and sail in the blood stream from the heart to arteries in the brain, blocking them and causing a stroke. In patients with atrial fibrillation, the older someone is or the more abnormal heart function is, the higher the risk of clots forming is. Thus methods to thin the blood can reduce the risk of stroke. In patients less than 65 years of age with no diabetes, high blood pressure, history of stroke or significant structural heart disease, often aspirin alone suffices. However, most patients with atrial fibrillation do require more than just aspirin and that is where anticoagulants are needed to reduce the risk of stroke. Of course, under normal circumstances, blood clotting is a good thing, because it stops bleeding if we are injured. However, clotting in the heart is a bad thing as it can lead to a stroke. Thus achieving the right balance of the risk of stroke versus serious bleeding is the goal." }, { "docid": "D533386#0", "title": "http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-163073/eliquis-oral/details\nEliquis", "text": "Drugs & Medications Eliquis GENERIC NAME (S): Apixaban Read Reviews (88)WARNINGS: Do not stop taking apixaban unless directed by your doctor.

In fact, sometimes even doctors aren’t sure which one to prescribe. After all, there are now five different anticoagulants atrial fibrillation patients have to choose from to help prevent stroke.

Factor Xa inhibitors include the brand names Xarelto ( rivaroxaban) and Eliquis ( apixaban ), both of which have been approved to prevent strokes in patients with a type of heart rhythm abnormality known as atrial fibrillation, as well as for other conditions. Xarelto and Eliquis, along with Pradaxa ( dabigatran ), are the first anticoagulants approved for atrial fibrillation patients in decades. The long-held treatment for stroke prevention was warfarin; however, the drug has many contraindications and patients who use the drug must be monitored on a regular basis because of bleeding risks. In 2010, Pradaxa became the first alternative to warfarin approved for atrial fibrillation patients, followed by Xarelto in 2011, and Eliquis earlier this year. Early data suggests these new drugs may not be safer options. In the first 14 months since Pradaxa hit the market, the drug has been associated with 900 gastrointestinal bleeds and 500 bleeding deaths. Unlike warfarin, the new anticoagulants Pradaxa, Xarelto and Eliquis do not have approved antidotes that can reverse the blood thinning effects. If a patient experiences a major bleeding event, doctors have few options to save the patient’s life.

Xarelto is a name brand of the drug rivaroxaban, an increasingly popular drug jointly developed by Bayer Health Group and Johnson and Johnson, two major pharmaceutical companies. When the drug was first approved in 2011, it showed a lot of promise as an improvement over previous anticoagulant drugs and was often prescribed to patients either experiencing, or at high risk of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or atrial fibrillation. While it is generally understood by doctors and patients that any kind of blood thinner or anticoagulant, by definition, carry a higher risk of bleeding, the side effects experienced by many Xarelto patients have ended in serious health issues and even death. Unlike previous blood thinning medications, this drug has no safety, no “off switch;” even when hospitalized, patients with bleeding or hemorrhages have bled to death, with doctors helpless to treat them. Sounds pretty awful, doesn’t it? There are currently over 18,000 cases pending against the manufacturers of Xarelto. Should you, or a loved one, be among them?

When the atrium is fibrillating, and losing its atrial kick, there is a higher risk of clot forming in the atrium which will break off into the ventricle, then head to your brain and cause a stroke. For that reason, we treat some folks with atrial fibrillation with blood thinners to prevent that stroke risk. Major changes have occurred in this area where newer more convenient anticoagulants (blood thinners) have emerged. This new group of 4 meds saves you from having blood tests routinely to check your levels, which is called having your “INR” checked.

Eliquis is approved only for use in people with AFib that is not caused by a heart valve problem. People with prosthetic heart valves should not take Eliquis. In its approval, the FDA cited a clinical trial of Eliquis in more than 18,000 people with AFib. The results showed that people who took Eliquis twice a day had 21% fewer strokes than those on the blood thinner warfarin. AFib raises the risk of stroke because if the heart doesn’t beat strongly and regularly, blood can pool in the heart and become more likely to form clots.“ Blood clots in the heart can cause a disabling stroke if the clots travel to the brain ,” says Norman Stockbridge, MD, Ph D, of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “ Anti-clotting drugs lower the risk of having a stroke by helping to prevent blood clots from forming." }, { "docid": "D3256911#0", "title": "https://www.drugs.com/sfx/eliquis-side-effects.html\nEliquis Side Effects", "text": "\"Eliquis Side Effects Generic Name: apixaban Overview Side Effects Dosage Professional Tips Interactions Pregnancy Warnings User Reviews More Drug Images Support Group Q & ACompare Alternatives Pricing & Coupons Consumer Professional Managing Side Effects Note: This document contains side effect information about apixaban.

Atrial fibrillation disrupts the flow of blood through the heart, causing blood to pool and clot, then travel to the brain and cause a stroke. Blood thinners, which include aspirin, warfarin, and other anticoagulation medications, can treat be used to atrial fibrillation. Here are eight things every atrial fibrillation patient needs to know about blood thinners. 1. Physicians use a formula to figure out if a patient with atrial fibrillation will develop blood clots, whether he or she needs a blood thinner and, if so, which drug he or she needs, according to healthinaging.org. The formula takes into account the patient’s age and gender and whether he or she has the key risk factors of congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, blood vessel disease and having experienced a past stroke or mini-stroke. 2. Physicians also use formulas to predict how likely a patient is to have bleeding problems if he or she takes anticoagulation medications.

Answer this Question Report Favorite Responses (1)SU suzanne66 14 Jun 2011The elimination half life of prednisone is around 3 to 4 hours. This is the time it takes for your body to reduce the plasma levels by half. It usually takes around 5.5 half lives for a drug to be completely eliminated from your system. With that in mind you could expect a dose or prednisone to be out of your system 16.5 to 22 hours later. Other factors also need to be taken into account and include: 1.

Piano A grand piano (left) and an upright piano (right)Keyboard instrument Hornbostel–Sachs classification 314.122-4-8 (Simple chordophone with keyboard sounded by hammers)Inventor (s) Bartolomeo Cristofori Developed Early 18th century Playing range The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 (the exact year is uncertain), in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard, [1] which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings. The word piano is a shortened form of pianoforte, the Italian term for the early 1700s versions of the instrument, which in turn derives from gravicembalo col piano e forte [2] and fortepiano. The Italian musical terms piano and forte indicate \"\"soft\"\" and \"\"loud\"\" respectively, [3] in this context referring to the variations in volume (i.e., loudness) produced in response to a pianist's touch or pressure on the keys: the greater the velocity of a key press, the greater the force of the hammer hitting the strings, and the louder the sound of the note produced and the stronger the attack. The first fortepianos in the 1700s had a quieter sound and smaller dynamic range." }, { "docid": "D1262225#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/How-much-does-a-Steinway-concert-grand-cost\nHow much does a Steinway Concert Grand (newly manufactured Model D) cost?", "text": "\"Steinway Pianos How Much Does X Cost?

The longer a piano remains out of tune, the more time and effort it will take for a technician to restore it to proper pitch. When a piano is only slightly out of tune, it loses the glowing tonal quality characteristic of a freshly tuned piano, especially because each note in the middle and upper range is sounded by more than one string, and these may get slightly out of tune with each other. Pianos that are more than slightly out of tune tend to be unpleasant to play and listen to, to an extent that varies with the ear of the listener. A tuning hammer and tuning mutes are the main tools that piano technicians use. Some tuners use pure aural techniques while some tuners use electronic tuning devices." }, { "docid": "D2489748#0", "title": "http://www.gistpianocenter.com/blog/how-often-should-i-have-my-piano-tuned/\nHow Often Should I Have My Piano Tuned?", "text": "\"How Often Should I Have My Piano Tuned?2 Replies This article is the second article in a series on piano service. Before you read on, we recommend reading “What Causes a Piano to Go Out of Tune. ”Easily the most popular question my acoustic piano clients ask me is how often they should tune their new or used piano. Understandably, folks who spent the money to purchase a quality instrument want to make sure the value of their investment won’t diminish due to neglect or their own lack of experience. It’s no different from a first-time car buyer asking the dealership how often (s)he should change the new car’s oil. Most people understand the importance of protecting their investments. Unfortunately, while it’s considered common knowledge that a car requires an oil change every 3000 miles, most people have absolutely no idea how often they should tune their piano. Unlike a car, your piano can’t tell you when it needs service. Unfortunately, pianos don’t have “service engine” lights to warn their owners that something might be wrong. So, players continue to play while pianos continue to slip out of tune and – unless players have perfect pitch, play-a-long CDs or duet partners – nobody notices the gradual detuning." }, { "docid": "D1286085#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_general_cost_of_piano_tuning\nWhat is the general cost of piano tuning?", "text": "Flag What is the general cost of piano tuning? Answer by Doug Freeze Confidence votes 146Depends on the quality of the technician and the years of experience like with any field. I know of one tech that charges $180 + for the tuning alone. Most technicians do not include pitch raises or repairs. Pitch raises take longer and have nothing to do with the actual tuning of the piano itself. The piano must be brought up or, lowered to, concert pitch before the actual tuning can take place. Repairs also have nothing to do with tuning. An average tuning takes about 1 to 1. 5 hours for most tuners.

This kind of Lyre was, and is still, called a Kinder Harp quite widely in Waldorf circles. I trained in building early fretted instruments, such as the Lute and Baroque guitar before moving to the Lyre and then the Harp. In that world of rediscovering Early music and its instruments, it was important to be precise in your terminology of instruments. So I renamed the Kinder Harp the Kinder Lyre. Which begs the question, what is the difference between a Lyre and a Harp? A Lyre has the strings run parallel to the sounding board with a transference or contact point between them, what is usually called the bridge of the instrument. Often there is another place where the string vibration is transferred to the instrument, like a nut on a guitar or violin or the bridges on the piano soundboard over which the strings stretch. The image that comes to mind is the depiction of Apollo, the Greek God of Music, playing his tortoise body instrument with the two curved arms coming out of it and the strings attached to a crossbar between them. On the harp, the strings protrude out of the soundbox at an angle of 90 degrees along the center line, and stretch towards an arm on which the tuning pegs are attached for tightening the strings." }, { "docid": "D1286088#0", "title": "http://www.pyrseas.org/what-is-the-average-cost-of-piano-tuning/\nWhat is the Average Cost of Piano Tuning?", "text": "Published July 22nd, 2014 by admin What is the Average Cost of Piano Tuning? Piano tuning is not, as some people believe, an expensive drain on a piano owner’s budget; nor is it something that should only be done when preparing to sell one or pass it down to a friend or family member. Tuning should be accomplished at least annually, with most manufacturers recommending twice a year, regardless of the type of piano owned (especially if you have an electric stage keyboard that you use to perform live). The longer an owner exceeds the manufacturer’s recommendations, the longer and more expensive a tuning will be. First, understand that tunings and repairs are not the same work. Replacing hammers, hammer surfaces, strings (or anything else) will not be needed as part of a tuning. An experienced and reputable piano tuner will do a quick inspection and explain, usually for free, if there are any repairs needed before a tuning can be accomplished. This is rare, unless the piano is very old or has suffered some type of water or smoke damage. Second, piano tuning and a pitch raise are also not the same thing. A piano will begin to lose or drop pitch the longer it is out of tune." }, { "docid": "D3271560#0", "title": "http://bluebookofpianos.com/Rebuilding.html\n.", "text": "BLUEBOOK OF PIANOSREBUILDING A PIANOPIANO RATINGS | ARCHIVES | APPRAISALS | PIANO TYPES | BLUEBOOK VALUE | SELL YOUR PIANOMajor Repairs, Reconditioning & Rebuilding There is no general agreement among technicians as to what constitutes a reconditioning as opposed to a rebuilding. Reconditioning is a less thorough process using a minimum of new parts, and working largely with original parts, whereas rebuilding involves using whatever new parts are necessary to make the piano function at its maximum potential. However, the dividing line between these two procedures is not clearly defined. In some instances reconditioning can involve using several new parts; seldom does a rebuilding include using all new parts Generally, a reconditioning is called for when a piano has been allowed to go for several years without regular complete piano service. There is still enough hammer left to file, and the piano is tunable. The piano is thoroughly cleaned; the action tightened, freed, and regulated; the hammers reshaped, fitted to the strings and voiced; the pedals and dampers are adjusted; and whatever else is necessary is done to restore the piano to its best playing condition. The action centers may be so worn that they need to be re-pinned or even re-bushed. If the existing parts are not too worn, and if the work is done thoroughly the piano may give several years of satisfactory service before needing major attention again. Rebuilding can refer to most any operation, ranging from just adding new hammers to replacing almost everything but the original piano shell. It can include restringing and new tuning pins, a new pinblock, a new soundboard or repairing the old one, new hammers, new hammer shanks, new whippens, new white key coverings, new black keys, new key buttons, keys rebushed, new backchecks, all action felt replaced, new damper felt, pedal assembly overhauled, plate, soundboard, the entire piano refinished, hardware replated, and whatever else may be necessary to make the piano look, sound, and perform like a new instrument." }, { "docid": "D3531469#0", "title": "http://www.mcloughlinpianotuning.co.uk/rates.html\n.", "text": "\"Rates Shaun offers competitive rates from a basic tuning to a complete restring, tuning pin replacement and action recondition.

A: The mechanical genius Bartolomeo Cristofori invented the piano around 1700. The name piano is actually a shortened version of the Italian term pianoforte, meaning soft-loud, and referring to the fact that the pianoforte could produce sound volume covering a much larger range than its predecessors, the harpsichord and clavichord. To get more of the story behind the invention and evolution of the piano, see our article The Why of the Piano. Q: Is the piano a string instrument or a percussion instrument? A: The piano is really a \"\"hybrid\"\"--a combination of two types. It's a string instrument because the musical tones originate in the strings; and it's also a percussion instrument, because the strings are set into vibration by being struck with hammers. To be historically correct, it's classified as a \"\"keyed zither\"\" by musicologists. Q: What types of piano are there? A: There are two basic types: Grand pianos have their strings and soundboard parallel to the floor, and Verticals (or Uprights) have their strings and soundboard turned up perpendicular to the floor." }, { "docid": "D684489#0", "title": "http://www.acousticmasters.com/AcousticMasters_Strings1.htm\nMore than you ever wanted to know about strings â Part 1", "text": "More than you ever wanted to know about strings – Part 1Strings are the heart and soul of the acoustic guitar and indeed of any stringed instrument. All the rest of the instrument does is make the sound of the strings louder and allow the musician to select and sound different notes. Strings may seem like such simple objects, but it has taken thousands of years of technological development to produce the musical strings of today and the development and design characteristics of stringed instruments have been determined entirely by the type, limitations and quality of the strings available at any given time. Strings and stringed instruments seem to have started their development with the bow. As far as we know, the first bows appeared in the late Palaeolithic or early Mesolithic. The earliest evidence for bows in Europe comes from Stellmoor in the Ahrensburg valley north of Hamburg, Germany and dates from the late Palaeolithic Hamburgian culture (9000-8000 BC). Although it’s often assumed that the bow was first developed for hunting and perhaps used as an impromptu musical instrument, which then developed into stringed instruments, there is now evidence that things may have developed the other way around and that the earliest bows were crude musical instruments. Bowstrings have been made of a range of natural materials, such as plant fibres and animal sinew. Most Neolithic bows are made of yew, a material that was later commonly used for the ribs of lute bowls. Ötzi the Iceman found in the Ötztaler Alps carried an unfinished yew longbow, with a bowstring of nettle or flax fibre." }, { "docid": "D212332#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano\nPiano", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the musical instrument.

It is played using a keyboard, [1] which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings. The word piano is a shortened form of pianoforte, the Italian term for the early 1700s versions of the instrument, which in turn derives from gravicembalo col piano e forte [2] and fortepiano. The Italian musical terms piano and forte indicate \"\"soft\"\" and \"\"loud\"\" respectively, [3] in this context referring to the variations in volume (i.e., loudness) produced in response to a pianist's touch or pressure on the keys: the greater the velocity of a key press, the greater the force of the hammer hitting the strings, and the louder the sound of the note produced and the stronger the attack.

Finished Products vs. Labor and Expenses Like a kitchen remodel, there will be substantial costs in finished products from flooring, bathtubs, shower surrounds, cabinets, countertops, and numerous bathroom fixtures. These products, however, don’t typically have the same price tags as major kitchen appliances and full cabinet and countertop installations. Plus, bathroom remodeling is a more labor-intensive process between tearing out old bathroom amenities and tedious tile and plumbing installation. 60-70 percent of bathroom remodel costs are labor and expenses and about 30-40 percent is finished product.

Installing a shower in an existing bathroom expands the functionality of the room and adds value to your home. Showers can be either a stand-alone unit or part of a bathtub-shower combination. While personal style, space and budget helps define the parameters of your shower installation project, some project costs can include demolition, plumbing, tile work and installation labor. Plans Installing a new bathroom shower may require the help of an architect or professional designer. Technical issues like tying into the existing plumbing infrastructure and adhering to local building codes should be addressed in advance.

The tile alone can be $1-$40 or more a square foot; replacing backer board adds about $2 a square foot; and do-it-yourself tools and other material can be $60-$200 or more. For example, Family Handyman.com [ 1] estimates that installing large floor tiles (8\"\"x8\"\" to 12\"\"x12\"\") in a typical bathroom is a moderately difficult job that takes two days and can cost $100-$600, while DIYNetwork.com [ 2] says it can take several weekends and cost $500-$1,000 for a moderate-to-hard project installing small mosaic tiles on a typical bathroom floor. Total costs (materials and labor) for professional installation of a bathroom tile floor averages $10-$40 a square foot, but it can cost more for custom tiles, detailed patterns or unusual room layouts. Expect to pay an additional $200-$800 or more to remove existing tile and repair any damaged areas underneath, for a total of $1,000-$5,000 or more for a typical bathroom (5'x7' to 10'x10'). For details see, How Much Does a Tile Floor Cost. Retiling around a bathtub or inside a shower enclosure can cost $800-$2,500 or more, depending on the type of tiles, total square footage, the amount of repairs needed, any special pattern or border, and local labor rates. Do-it-yourself materials can cost $50-$1,500 or more, depending on the total square footage and the type of tile. For example, HGTV.com estimates that tiling a bathroom wall costs about $100 and, including drying time, takes up to three days; while This Old House.com estimates that tiling around a bathtub [ 3] is a moderately difficult project that takes eight to 10 hours of work (not including drying time) and costs $400-$1,300. Completely retiling all areas of a bathroom -- floor, bathtub enclosure, walk-in shower enclosure and any other spaces that might be tiled -- can cost $10,000-$25,000 or more, depending on the type of tiles, the total square footage and the amount of underlying damage needed repair." }, { "docid": "D1017918#0", "title": "https://www.homeimprovementpages.com.au/article/how_much_does_bathroom_renovation_cost\nHow much does a bathroom renovation cost?", "text": "How much does a bathroom renovation cost?

I spent a lot of time researching tile leveling systems and ended up with the ones from Home Depot because they were the only ones that made sense economically for a one-off use. One of the big criticisms was that they killed your thumbs after a while, but in a 5' tub alcove installation this wasn't an issue. If I were in the business of doing this sort of tiling, I'd go with one of the fancier systems, but for this application I am more than satisfied with the performance and ease of use of the QEP. When we took out the spacers and the wedges this morning (which was easy), everything was level and perfect looking except for a couple of small areas on the edge tile where we didn't use the levelers. By the time we get the grout in, I'm pretty sure no one will notice the imperfections but us. [ Note: if you want a 1/16\"\" space between your tiles you don't need spacers, just the levelers.

My Septic Tank is Full!", "text": "Posted on March 20, 2013 by Courtney Van Delden We often receive calls about “full” septic tanks. But what does full really mean? A septic tank should always be “filled” to its normal liquid level, or the bottom of the outlet pipe which carries effluent to the absorption area. This normal liquid level is usually between 8” to 12” from the top of the tank on average (see picture at right). If the liquid level is at bottom of the outlet pipe, then one would assume the absorption area is accepting the household wastewater. If the liquid level in a septic tank is above the outlet pipe, or to the top of the tank, we call it “overfull” because the tank is filled above its normal operating level. If the tank is overfull, this is usually a sign of problems with the absorption area. Plumbing or septic issue? We have a lot of people call us to pump their tank because they say it is full…usually because they are beginning to experience problems.

They consist of lots of small, compressible elastic capsules blended with an “incompressible” matrix fluid, with the mixture being retained in a strong package, which does not stretch significantly during an impact. Figure 1. The essential features of a SALi based cushion. SALi based cushion = lots of compressible capsules +”incompressible” matrix fluid + low stretch packaging SALi based cushions offer four damage mitigation mechanisms:1 The capsules absorb energy when they suffer bulk compression during an impact.2 Viscous damping converts impact energy into heat when the matrix fluid swirls round the compressing capsules. This reduces the “kickback” when the capsules spring back into shape in the milliseconds following the impact.3 The hydraulic characteristics of the matrix fluid distribute impact loading over the surface being protected.4 Shock waves are scattered at the capsule-fluid interfaces. The compressive stiffness of the device depends on the type of capsules used. Published research papers [2, 3, 4.] describe the use of air capsules made from bubble packing to produce very soft cushions, with stiffer expanded polystyrene beads being the most versatile for use in protective clothing. For very violent crash impacts, expanded metal foam beads can be used." }, { "docid": "D1597106#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willam_Belli\nWillam Belli", "text": "\"Willam Belli Willam Belli while on tour with The AAA Girls, October 8, 2017Born June 30, 1982 (age 35)Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.

A Good Day to Die Hard sees John Mc Clane (Bruce Willis) heading to Moscow to help out his estranged son, Jack (Jai Courtney), who is seemingly headed for prison due to some brazen criminal acts. Little does Mc Clane know, his son is actually a CIA operative who is trying to sneak a convict named Komarov (Sebastian Koch) out of harm’s way before his ex-partner (and current political leader) Chagarin (Sergei Kolesnikov) can get to him. When John inadvertently blows Jack’s operation out of the water, it’s up to both Mc Clane boys to put aside their differences long enough to evade Chagarin’s thug Alik (Radivoje Bukvic), his band of killers, and get the evidence against Chagarin that Komarov is protecting. Once they have that evidence in hand, they can do what Mc Clanes do best: Kill a whole bunch bad guys. There’s a point at which any long-running franchise begins to fall into the realm of self-parody, and for the Die Hard franchise, this fifth installment officially marks that point. Through a combination of a thin story, even thinner characters, terrible dialogue, spastic, murky filming and outrageously cartoonish violence and stunts, the title of this film – A Good Day to Die Hard – is not just a name, it’s a proclamation that this series is now ready for the graveyard. Willis, Courtney and Koch in ‘A Good Day to Die Hard’Advertising [x]Indeed, without the presence of Willis’ iconic character, the film would be a forgettable B-movie action flick. With Willis in it, the appeal is obviously greater – though the experience of actually seeing Mc Clane back onscreen is decidedly less so. Whereas the previous installment had fun with the fact that John Mc Clane is a hero of a bygone era, A Good Day to Die Hard is more content with reducing the iconic character to a generic machismo bad guy-killing machine – one who is so used to this crazy routine that he is impervious to pain, emotion, vulnerability and really anything besides biting sarcasm and cheesy one-liners." } ]

A great deal of music, particularly that from the Western musical tradition, has an underlying pulse or beat. Think of the beat as something 'you tap your foot to' when you are listening to a piece of music. Bar-lines and time signatures are used to make the underlying rhythm, the pattern of beats of differing weight (strong, medium, weak), clearer to the performer. So, for example, a bouree which has four beats in a bar starts on the last beat; the gavotte, also written with four beat in a bar, starts on the third beat. Neither of these, unclear where bar-lines are absent, would not be clearer with bar-lines written into the score. Sometimes time signatures might mislead the performer and we have adopted a 'convention' about how different time signatures relate to particular underlying rhythmic structures. This is illustrated in the three scores below. Two of these are the same piece of music written in two different ways. This score is in 'three'; we have marked the three beats with dotted bar-lines." }, { "docid": "D2560811#0", "title": "https://www.bassresource.com/beginner/bass_fishing_rods.html\nChoosing The Right Rod", "text": "\"Choosing The Right Rod How do you know which bass fishing rod to use for what?

Complete the knot by feeding the end of the line back through the loop you made and pulling it tight. Before you can cast your line, bait your hook by running the tip of the hook through the bait at least 3 times so that it's secure.

It is the successor to the European Monetary System (EMS). Next Up MSCI EMU Index Currency Union Optimal Currency Area Lisbon Treaty BREAKING DOWN 'European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)'The European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) is really a broad term, under which a group of policies aimed at the convergence of European Union member state economies. The EMU's succession over the EMS occurred through a three phase process, with the third and final phase initiating the adoption of the euro currency in place of former national currencies. This has been completed by all initial EU members except for the United Kingdom and Denmark, who have opted out of adopting the euro. History of the European Monetary Union The first efforts to create a European Economic and Monetary Union began after World War I. On September 9, 1929 Gustav Stresemann, at an assembly of the League of Nations, asked, \"\"Where are the European currency, the European stamp that we need?\"\" Stresemann's lofty rhetoric became irrelevant, however, when a little more than a month later the Wall Street crash of 1929 became the symbolic beginning of the Great Depression, which not only derailed talk of a common currency, it also split Europe politically and paved the way for the Second World War. The modern history of the EMU started with speech given by Robert Schuman, the French Foreign Minister, on May 9, 1950 that later came to be called The Schuman Declaration . Schuman argued that the only way to ensure peace in Europe, which had been torn apart twice in thirty years by devastating wars, was to bind Europe as a single economic entity: \"\"The pooling of coal and steel production ... will change the destinies of those regions which have long been devoted to the manufacture of munitions of war, of which they have been the most constant victims.\"\" His speech led to the Treaty of Paris in 1951 that created the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) between treaty signers Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands." }, { "docid": "D3105971#0", "title": "http://time.com/3980384/germany-europe-greece-crisis/\nDon't Blame Germany for Greece's Debt Crisis", "text": "IDEASZócalo Public Square is a magazine of ideas from Arizona State University Knowledge Enterprise. Germany knows a thing or two about being punished for bad deeds, but in recent weeks the country has been the poster child for the old adage that no good deed goes unpunished. There is no other way to describe the reputational black eye Germans received as a result of the drawn-out Greek bailout negotiations that culminated last week in the approval of a deal struck with other eurozone countries. No country has done more than Germany in recent times to raise living standards and democratic norms across Europe, which is one reason the country that once bedeviled the continent emerged as the world’s most admired nation in a 2013 BBC poll conducted in 25 countries. But over this summer, it’s been stunning to see how easily we can be lured back into embracing darker stereotypes of those bullying, inflexible Germans. The prevailing narrative of the Greek crisis in U. S. media, and on social media, was that the poor Greek people and their idealistic young Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras were being driven to the brink by heartless creditors, led by Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and her Finance Minister, Wolfgang Schäuble. The Germans, and their “troika” of servants – the European Central Bank, the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund – had saddled too much debt on the Greeks, imposed counterproductive austerity policies on its government and demanded humiliating reforms that violated Greek sovereignty. It’s hard not to empathize with the people of Greece; The country’s GDP shrank by a staggering 25 percent in just five years. But the prevailing narrative of a morally tidy showdown between stingy, stubborn Germanic creditors and their victimized Greek debtors overlooked a number of inconvenient truths. For starters, the Greek debt crisis was triggered in no small part by the 2009 revelation that the Greek government had falsified its economic data to make the country appear a member in good standing of the eurozone." }, { "docid": "D2787422#0", "title": "http://www.bankrate.com/finance/economics/european-debt-crisis-impact-on-us-1.aspx\nEuropean debt crisis: Impact on the US", "text": "Out of all the problems facing the U.

Moody’s Investors’ Service rates seven countries Caa1 or worse, several tiers lower than Ba1, which still carries a significant credit risk.

However, Jamaica’s credit rating was upgraded by Moody’s this year, and Argentina’s and Belize’s credit ratings remained stable. The remaining four countries, on the other hand, were downgraded.

A surplus in the capital account means money is flowing into the country, but unlike a surplus in the current account, the inbound flows effectively represent borrowings or sales of assets rather than payment for work. A deficit in the capital account means money is flowing out of the country, and it suggests the nation is increasing its ownership of foreign assets. The term \"\"capital account\"\" is used with a narrower meaning by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and affiliated sources.

Such a bold move would cause more harm than good for core members of the euro, most notably, export-driven Germany. A coordinated effort to share the pain seems to be the best option out there, but it’s unclear how much pain the core eurozone countries are willing to take. The integrity of the eurozone has been considered sacrosanct by its core members throughout the long running European sovereign debt crisis. The idea that a profligate member of the zone, like Greece, would need to be kicked out of the 17- member common currency was quickly dismissed by mainstream politicians of core member states, like Germany and France. But cracks in that resolve have started to form. Two weeks ago, the leaders of Germany and France hinted that they could envision a scenario in which Greece would be allowed to leave the common currency. French President Nicholas Sarkozy took the issue a bit further last week when he said he could envision a “two-speed” Europe, where strong members of the European Union would grow closer while weak members would be left to putter in the background. Traders have interpreted this to mean that a smaller eurozone may be on the horizon, one where the core members of the euro unite to form a strong fiscal and monetary union, while the peripheral nations exit the common currency and drown in debt. On the surface this seems like the best solution to a growing European economic crisis that shows no signs of abating." }, { "docid": "D1949318#0", "title": "http://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0710/the-origins-of-common-currency-symbols.aspx\nThe Origins Of Common Currency Symbols", "text": "\"Ever wonder how our currencies got the specific symbols that they have?

Stunned European leaders called a summit for Tuesday to discuss their next move after the surprisingly strong victory by the ‘No’ camp defied opinion polls that had predicted a tight contest. The euro currency and stock prices in Asia fell sharply in early trade, although dealers emphasized that markets were orderly, with no signs of financial strain. European stock and bond markets were expected to take a hit when they open for trading later on Monday. In Athens, thousands of jubilant Greeks waving flags and bursting fire crackers poured into the city’s central square as official figures showed 61 percent of Greeks had rejected a deal that would have imposed more austerity measures on an already ravaged economy. “You made a very brave choice,” Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in a televised address. “ The mandate you gave me is not the mandate of a rupture with Europe, but a mandate to strengthen our negotiating position to seek a viable solution. ”The vote leaves Greece in uncharted waters: risking a banking collapse that could force it out of the euro.

So, we're going to use the more precise term for a mature female gamete which is ovum (or ova for the plural form). Now you may recall, each ovum must be haploid and contain only one copy of each chromosome.

Neurocutaneous syndromes represent a group of central nervous system disorders with concurrent lesions in the skin, eye, and possibly other visceral organs. [ 1] The neurocutaneous manifestations are related to the common ectodermal origin of these organs. They include tuberous sclerosis complex, Sturge-Weber syndrome, von Hippel-Lindau disease, and neurofibromatosis. The definition can be expanded to include other entities such as ataxia telangiectasia, incontinentia pigmenti, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (Gorlin syndrome), among others. Tuberous sclerosis complex Originally known as Bourneville's disease after the French neurologist, Désiré-Magloire Bourneville, tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC, which is the preferred abbreviation, to distinguish this entity from Tourette syndrome [TS]) is a genetically determined neurocutaneous syndrome—one of the most common—characterized clinically by variable neuropsychiatric manifestations that range from intractable epilepsy (including infantile spasms, which occur in as many as 20-30% of TSC infants) to mental retardation and autism and are often the defining and/or presenting feature of the illness. [ 2]Clinicopathologic features of tuberous sclerosis complex have been recognized since the late 1880s. This disease involves multiple organ systems throughout the body, especially the heart, lungs, skin, and kidneys in addition to the central nervous system (CNS). Visceral manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex include cardiac rhabdomyomas, renal angiomyolipomas, and pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis, whereas its cutaneous signs include facial angiofibromas, subungual fibromas, Shagreen patches, and hypomelanotic macules.

Charles Jennette, M. D., and Ronald J. Falk, M. D. Article Figures/Media99 References 675 Citing Articles Letters Vasculitis is inflammation of vessel walls. It has many causes, although they result in only a few histologic patterns of vascular inflammation. Vessels of any type in any organ can be affected, a fact that results in a wide variety of signs and symptoms. These protean clinical manifestations, combined with the etiologic nonspecificity of the histologic lesions, complicate the diagnosis of specific forms of vasculitis. This is problematic because different vasculitides with indistinguishable clinical presentations have very different prognoses and treatments. For example, a patient with purpura, nephritis, and abdominal pain caused by Henoch–Schönlein purpura usually has a good prognosis and needs only supportive care, whereas a patient with purpura, nephritis, and abdominal pain caused by microscopic polyangiitis is likely to go on to life-threatening organ failure if not treated promptly and appropriately.

We'll explore cytokinesis and see how the process can differ in important ways when it comes to plant versus animal cells. Cell Division If we're talking about cell division, at some point, the cell should actually divide. But so far, all mitosis has done is produce a cell with two nuclei. Cytokinesis is the process in which the cytoplasmic content of the cell is divided into two new daughter cells. While it's easier to consider the events of cytokinesis separately from mitosis, in actuality, there is some overlap between the two. Luckily for us, the mechanisms that govern cytokinesis are far less complicated than those of mitosis. In cytokinesis, the cytoplasmic content of a cell divides into two new daughter cells Mitosis was all about ending up with a precise number of chromosomes. On the other hand, division of the rest of the contents of the cell is far less precise. Having an unequal number of chromosomes in the resulting daughter cells would be a bad thing, but having a unequal number of cytoplasmic content, like ribosomes or mitochondria, isn't." }, { "docid": "D995977#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/The_process_in_which_the_cells_cytoplasm_divides\nThe process by which the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell divides to produce two cells is called?", "text": "Mees 326 Contributions The process by which the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell divides to produce two cells is called?

By How It Works Team · 4 years ago Cytoplasm is more than filler; it performs many critical biological functions in a cell. By definition, cytoplasm is all of the liquid inside a cell membrane but outside of the nucleus. Cytoplasm gives the cell its open, balloon-like shape through a scaffolding of microtubules and microfilaments, called cytoskeleton. Organelles also use microtubules as pathways to travel throughout the cell. In addition to water, cytoplasm contains enzymes that break down glucose into a substance digestible by mitochondria. Other enzymes dissolve cellular waste so it can be removed through the cell membrane.

The municipality is home to the prominent F. E. Warren Air Force Base. History In 1867 a railroad track was being laid down in the Cheyenne area for the Union Pacific Railroad. Due to the arrival of the railroad, approximately 4,000 people moved to the city with the notion that Cheyenne would become a thriving area. A significant amount of the employment in the region was due to the building of the railroad. After it was completed the majority of the people moved out of the town.

ZIP is an acronym for the Zone Improvement Plan, but was also meant to suggest that mail travels more efficiently (and therefore faster) when senders use it. The basic ZIP Code format consists of five numerical digits. An extended ZIP+4 code includes the five digits of the ZIP Code plus four more digits which allow a piece of mail to be even more accurately directed to a very small geography. ZIP Code was originally registered as a trademark by the U. S. Postal Service, but its registration has since expired. The term \"\"ZIP Code\"\" is also used in the Philippines to name its postal codes. The Philippine ZIP Code is used by the Philippine Postal Corporation. Unlike American ZIP Codes, Philippine ZIP Codes are four-digit numbers without any extensions. While the cities of Metro Manila use more than one code, towns and cities outside Metro Manila are assigned only one code for every town and city. The postal service implemented postal zones for large cities in 1943." }, { "docid": "D2006634#0", "title": "http://colorado.hometownlocator.com/zip-codes/data,zipcode,80112.cfm\nEnglewood, CO 80112 ZIP Code Profile", "text": "Photos of the local Englewood, CO area ZIP Code 80112: Basic Data & USPS Preferred City Name Preferred Name, USPSEnglewood, CO 80112Acceptable Alternative Centennial, CO 80112Greenwood Village, CO 80112Greenwood Vlg, CO 80112Not Acceptable, USPSLone Tree, CO 80112ZIP Code Type: STANDARDCounty: Arapahoe County Centroid: Latitude 39.575, Longitude -104.862Time Zone: Mountain Time Zone (UTC -7 hours)Observes DST: Yes ZIP Code 80112 has segments in 3 Counties (Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas).

Psilocybin or psilocin are hallucinogenic substances found in more than 180 species of mushrooms. They are mainly used for spiritual or recreational purposes and cause similar but distinct hallucinogenic experiences compared with LSD. It is dangerous to pick and eat wild mushrooms because it is difficult to distinguish edible mushrooms from their poisonous lookalikes. Poisonous mushrooms can cause stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhoea, while some can cause permanent liver damage, respiratory failure, unconsciousness and even death. Symptoms can take up to 40 hours to develop. DMT is a powerful hallucinogen found in the seeds, bark, leaves or stem of various plants around the world, including some acacia species native to Australia. It is consumed by many individuals as ayahuasca which is mainly used for spiritual purposes. Alternatively, it can be synthesised into a crystalline form which is typically vaporised or smoked.

DMT is a hallucinogenic chemical that is naturally occurring and falls under the tryptamine family. Upon consumption, the drug's effects are short-lasting and drastic, taking the user on an intense psychedelic trip. It is commonly smoked or insufflated and produces a dramatic and incredibly powerful experience, many times provoking the sensation of entering a different world or communication with alien-like beings. DMT is not typically considered addictive and produces no physical withdrawal. However, tolerance may develop with continued use and DMT does have a potential for addiction in some cases. Those who do become addicted to DMT usually increase their dosage with time. They may become accustomed to the fantasy world the substance produces and have difficulty re-entering reality. In addition, its effects may encourage risk-taking behavior, which can lead to the use of other mind-altering substances.

Because most psychoactive drugs, including many that are prescribed as sleeping medication, actually degrade the quality of sleep; this is a bit difficult to believe. Mental health clinicians are aware that many psychiatric patients use cannabis. It also appears that many patients suffering with insomnia also use it. Although it remains illegal and many people are arrested for possession annually, it does not seem that anyone wanting to use it has difficulty obtaining it and more states are providing for medicinal use of it. Connecticut is the most recent state to decriminalize possession of small amounts of cannabis and to provide for medical marijuana. This is a timely issue as there are two states that have ballot initiatives for today that could result in legalization of medical marijuana (Massachusetts and Arkansas) and two others (Washington and Colorado) will be considering essentially legalizing adult possession with regulation and taxation similar to that used with alcohol.

Dimethyltryptamine or N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally-occurring tryptamine and psychedelic drug, found not only in many plants, but also in trace amounts in the human body where its natural function is undetermined. Structurally, it is analogous to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) and other psychedelic tryptamines such as 5-Me O-DMT, bufotenin (5-OH-DMT), and psilocin (4-OH-DMT). DMT is created in small amounts by the human body during normal metabolism by the enzyme tryptamine-N-methyltransferase. Many cultures, indigenous and modern, ingest DMT as a psychedelic in extracted or synthesized forms. Pure DMT at room temperature is a clear or white to yellowish-red crystalline solid. A laboratory synthesis of DMT was first reported in 1931, and it was later found in many plants. Several speculative and yet untested hypotheses suggest that endogenous DMT, produced in the human brain, is involved in certain psychological and neurological states. DMT is naturally produced in small amounts in the brain and other tissues of humans and other mammals. Some believe it plays a role in mediating the visual effects of natural dreaming, and also near-death experiences, religious visions and other mystical states." }, { "docid": "D338007#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-Acetylpsilocin\nO -Acetylpsilocin", "text": "\"O -Acetylpsilocin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article needs additional citations for verification.

It is structurally related to psychedelic lysergamides like LSD and ALD-52 . Like ALD-52, it is theorized to act as a prodrug for LSD. [ 1] The structural resemblance 1P-LSD shares with LSD predicts an extremely similar effect profile, with perhaps the only significant differences stemming from variations in the rate of absorption, duration, metabolism, and excretion of the compound (i.e. its pharmacokinetic factors). Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 1P-LSD, and it has a very brief history of human usage. In the first few months of 2015, 1P-LSD began to be marketed as a legal alternative to LSD alongside lysergamides like ALD-52, ETH-LAD and AL-LAD and sold online as a research chemical . As with LSD itself, 1P-LSD does not meet the criteria to be considered addictive or toxic by the scientific community.

DNA replication is the action of DNA polymerases synthesizing a DNA strand complementary to the original template strand. To synthesize DNA, the double-stranded DNA is unwound by DNA helicases ahead of polymerases, forming a replication fork containing two single-stranded templates. Replication processes permit the copying of a single DNA double helix into two DNA helices, which are divided into the daughter cells at mitosis. The major enzymatic functions carried out at the replication fork are well conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, but the replication machinery in eukaryotic DNA replication is a much larger complex, coordinating many proteins at the site of replication, forming the replisome.

Using variations of these engineering techniques, the isolated gene can be redesigned in the laboratory and then transferred back into cells in culture to elucidate its function. With slightly more sophisticated methods, the engineered genes can be inserted into animals and plants, so that they become a functional and heritable part of the organism's genome. Recombinant DNA technology has also had a profound influence on many aspects of human life outside scientific research: it is used to detect the mutations in DNA that are responsible for inherited disorders and to diagnose an individual's predisposition to genetic diseases such as cancer; it is used in forensic science to identify or acquit suspects in a crime; it is used to produce an increasing number of human pharmaceuticals, including insulin for diabetics and the blood-clotting protein Factor VIII for hemophiliacs.

DNA is a polymer of nucleotides (nt). Each nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, one of four nitrogenous bases, and a phosphoric acid component. DNA consists of two complementary strands in a helix form. Pairing of the nitrogenous bases adenine (A) with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) with guanine (G) on the two complementary strands occurs by hydrogen bonding. A pairs with T by two hydrogen bonds, and C pairs with G by three hydrogen bonds. DNA has chemically distinct 5′ and 3′ ends, and the two strands are antiparallel, with one strand running in the 5′ to 3′ direction and the other strand running in the 3′ to 5′ direction. The antiparallel orientation of the two strands creates a special problem when the DNA is duplicated or replicated during mitosis or meiosis. Genetic information in protein-coding genes is determined by the sequence of nitrogenous bases (A, T, G, C) in one of the strands, with a three-base (triplet) codon designating an amino acid. The genetic code is degenerate, meaning that more than one codon specifies most amino acids." }, { "docid": "D307653#0", "title": "https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/An_Introduction_to_Molecular_Biology/Replication_of_DNA_and_its_repair\nAn Introduction to Molecular Biology/Replication of DNA and its repair", "text": "\"< An Introduction to Molecular Biologynavigation search DNA replication. DNA is unwound and nucleotides are matched to make two new strands. As we know Cell division is essential for an organism to grow, but, when a cell divides, it must replicate the DNA (DNA replication take place during S phase) in its genome so that the two daughter cells have the same genetic information as their parent. The double-stranded structure of DNA provides a simple mechanism for DNA replication. Here, the two strands are separated and then each strand's complementary DNA sequence is recreated by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. This enzyme makes the complementary strand by finding the correct base through complementary base pairing, and bonding it onto the original strand. As DNA polymerases can only extend a DNA strand in a 5′ to 3′ direction, different mechanisms are used to copy the antiparallel strands of the double helix. In this way, the base on the old strand dictates which base appears on the new strand, and the cell ends up with a perfect copy of its DNA.

DNA strands are well formed when the deoxyribonucleotides undergo polymerization with the help of DNA polymerases which are thought to be enzymes that hasten the polymerization process. It is clear that DNA polymerase plays a vital role in the replication of DNA wherein they serve as agents that detect undamaged DNA strands as prototypes which later on they may utilize to be able to create new strands. After that, a new fragment of DNA will be copied through this process. This molecule that was recently polymerized is the actual counterpart of the strand of the template which has exactly the same identity to that partner strand of the original template.

Previous article Next article Commentary Large amounts of double-stranded DNA are efficiently duplicated in all dividing cells. Many features of the DNA replication process are universal, although there is no clear reason a priori as to why this should be, other than to assume that common mechanisms are ancient and that other solutions to the same biochemical problem have not survived evolutionary pressure. Such almost universal features include the semi-conservative nature of chromosomal replication, the unidirectionality of polymerases and the inability of replicative DNA polymerases to synthesize nucleotide chains de novo. Given these common themes, it follows from the structure of DNA that certain protein activities are required to accomplish replication: helicases to unwind the duplex; one or more proteins that bind single stranded DNA, to assist unwinding; and priming polymerases that can indeed synthesize nucleotide chains de novo [1]. There is a strong desire among molecular biologists to uncover such widely applicable mechanisms. Nevertheless, it is still striking when nearly identical solutions to complex molecular problems are uncovered in distantly related organisms. This now appears to be the case for the mechanism by which replicative polymerases achieve processivity in DNA replication, as revealed by the structures of the Escherichia coli and yeast polymerase processivity subunits (see Figure 1 ). The extent to which this breathtaking homology extends to other elements of the replication elongation complexes is not yet known.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis refers to the creation of a new DNA molecule, which occurs in the cell cycle’s synthesis phase (S phase). Duplication of the centrosome, which organizes microtubules to help insure proper chromosomal segregation during cellular division, as well as DNA replication occur during this phase and are necessary for the stimulation of cellular division. The S Phase The purpose of the cell's S phase is to create a new and identical double-stranded (ds) DNA molecule. This is achieved by using each side of the ds DNA strand as a template for a new DNA strand. The first step in this process is to separate the ds DNA, which is accomplished using the DNA helicase enzyme. A DNA polymerase now reads the single-stranded (ss) DNA molecule, incorporating the complementary nucleoside-triphosphate in the opposite position. This will create two identical ds DNA molecules, both containing one template and one newly synthesized strand.

On a cellular level, this reproduction occurs by mitosis, the process by which a single parental cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. In the germ line of sexually reproducing organisms, a parental cell with a diploid genome produces four germ cells with a haploid genome via a specialized process called meiosis. In both of these processes, the genetic material must be duplicated prior to cell division so that the daughter cells receive a full complement of the genetic information. Thus accurate and complete replication of the DNA is essential to the ability of a cell organism to reproduce. In this chapter and the next, we will examine the process of replication.

The surprise lied in mixing the heat-killed virulent encapsulated bacteria with nonvirulent nonencapsulated bacteria did kill the mouse." }, { "docid": "D352130#0", "title": "http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/DNA-Sequencing-Technologies-Key-to-the-Human-828\nDNA Sequencing Technologies Key to the Human Genome Project", "text": "\"The Human Genome Project was a 13-year-long, publicly funded project initiated in 1990 with the objective of determining the DNA sequence of the entire euchromatic human genome within 15 years. In its early days, the Human Genome Project was met with skepticism by many people, including scientists and nonscientists alike. One prominent question was whether the huge cost of the project would outweigh the potential benefits. Today, however, the overwhelming success of the Human Genome Project is readily apparent. Not only did the completion of this project usher in a new era in medicine, but it also led to significant advances in the types of technology used to sequence DNA. Initial Principles and Goals of the Human Genome Project From its inception, the Human Genome Project revolved around two key principles (International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, 2001). First, it welcomed collaborators from any nation in an effort to move beyond borders, to establish an all-inclusive effort aimed at understanding our shared molecular heritage, and to benefit from diverse approaches. The group of publicly funded researchers that eventually assembled was known as International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium (IHGSC). Second, this project required that all human genome sequence information be freely and publicly available within 24 hours of its assembly. This founding principle ensured unrestricted access for scientists in academia and in industry, and it provided the means for rapid and novel discoveries by researchers of all types." }, { "docid": "D252070#0", "title": "http://www.academia.edu/7430391/DNA_REPLICATION_-_Enzymes_and_protein\nDNA REPLICATION - Enzymes and protein", "text": "\"pdf DNA REPLICATION - Enzymes and protein16 Pages DNA REPLICATION - Enzymes and protein Uploaded by M.

This biological process occurs in all living organisms and is the basis for biological inheritance. DNA is made up of two strands and each strand of the original DNA molecule serves as template for the production of the complementary strand, a process referred to as semiconservative replication. Replication fork The replication fork is a structure that forms within the nucleus during DNA replication. It is created by helicases, which break the hydrogen bonds holding the two DNA strands together. The resulting structure has two branching \"\"prongs\"\", each one made up of a single strand of DNA. These two strands serve as the template for the leading and lagging strands, which will be created as DNA polymerase matches complementary nucleotides to the templates; the templates may be properly referred to as the leading strand template and the lagging strand template.

Within the process are involved both DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and different in their function ribonucleic acids (RNA). The process is initiated in the cell’s nucleus, where specific enzymes unwind the needed section of DNA, which makes the DNA in this region accessible and a RNA copy can be made. This RNA molecule then moves from the nucleus to the cell cytoplasm, where the actual the process of protein synthesis take place. What is protein synthesis – The details!All cells function through their proteins. Protein function is defined by their molecular function , localization within cell and involvement in a particular biological process. All components of protein function are defined by the exact composition, structure and conformation of the proteins, which is encrypted within the DNA region (called locus) encoding that protein. With the process of protein synthesis biological cells generate new proteins, which on the other hand is balanced by the loss of cellular proteins via degradation or export. Transcription is the first of overall two protein synthesis steps. During transcription, the information encoded in the DNA is copied to a RNA molecule as one strand of the DNA double helix is used as a template." }, { "docid": "D2970612#0", "title": "https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~edy/genome/sequencing.html\nDNA Sequencing", "text": "DNA Sequencing After the finding that DNA's information was encoded in its sequence of nucleotides (A, C, T, and G), it was believed that one could find this sequence through a method of analyzing a large number of identical strands of DNA and identifying each nucleotide in order of it's appearance in the DNA sequence. This technique was ultimately discovered in 1977 by Fredrick Sanger. His method, known as Sanger Sequencing, relied on two main principles. DNA can be separated by size. This was briefly discussed in the section on Laboratory Techniques with regards to gel electrophoresis. Keeping in mind that DNA is negatively charged, it will migrate towards the positive electrode when an electric current is applied. When placed in a gel composed of polyacrylamide beads, larger strands of DNA will migrate through the gel slower. Incidentally, the use of polyacrylamide gels instead of agarose gels allow for much greater resolution in separating strands of DNA by size. It allows one to actually distinguish a strand of DNA 400 base pairs long from a strand of DNA 401 base pairs long. As a result, polyacrylamide gels would be capable of resolving even 1 base pair differences in DNA, making this very useful for sequencing." }, { "docid": "D431178#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okazaki_fragments\nOkazaki fragments", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search DNA replication Okazaki fragments are short, newly synthesized DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging template strand during DNA replication. They are complementary to the lagging template strand, together forming short double-stranded DNA sections. Okazaki fragments are between 1000 and 2000 nucleotides long in prokaryotes (e.g. Escherichia coli) and are roughly 100 to 200 nucleotides long in eukaryotes. [ 1] They are separated by ~120-nucleotide RNA primers and are unligated until RNA primers are removed, followed by enzyme ligase connecting (ligating) an Okazaki fragment onto the (now continuous) newly synthesized complementary strand. On the leading strand DNA replication proceeds continuously along the DNA molecule as the parent double-stranded DNA is unwound, but on the lagging strand the new DNA is made in installments, which are later joined together by a DNA ligaseenzyme. This is because the enzymes that synthesise the new DNA can only work in one direction along the parent DNA molecule and the two strands are anti-parallel . On the leading strand this route is continuous, but on the lagging strand it is discontinuous. [ 2]DNA is synthesised from 5' to 3', so when copying the 3' to 5' strand, replication is continuous. Phosphodiester links form between the 3' to 5' and nucleotides can be added with the aid of the enzyme DNA polymerase for the continuous leading strand. However, in order to synthesise the lagging strand (the 3' to 5' strand) synthesis must occur in small sections (100-200 nucleotides at a time in eukaryotes)." } ]

A bacterial chromosome is a covalently closed circle that, unlike eukaryotic chromosomes, is not organized around histone proteins. The central region of the cell in which prokaryotic DNA resides is called the nucleoid. In addition, prokaryotes often have abundant plasmids, which are shorter circular DNA molecules that may only contain one or a few genes. Plasmids can be transferred independently of the bacterial chromosome during cell division and often carry traits such as antibiotic resistance. Because of these unique features, transcription and gene regulation is somewhat different between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic ones. Learning Objectives Understand the basic steps in the transcription of DNA into RNA in prokaryotic cells Understand the basics of prokaryotic translation and how it differs from eukaryotic translation Prokaryotic Transcription Initiation of Transcription in Prokaryotes Prokaryotes do not have membrane-enclosed nuclei. Therefore, the processes of transcription, translation, and m RNA degradation can all occur simultaneously. The intracellular level of a bacterial protein can quickly be amplified by multiple transcription and translation events occurring concurrently on the same DNA template.

Previous article Next article Commentary Large amounts of double-stranded DNA are efficiently duplicated in all dividing cells. Many features of the DNA replication process are universal, although there is no clear reason a priori as to why this should be, other than to assume that common mechanisms are ancient and that other solutions to the same biochemical problem have not survived evolutionary pressure. Such almost universal features include the semi-conservative nature of chromosomal replication, the unidirectionality of polymerases and the inability of replicative DNA polymerases to synthesize nucleotide chains de novo. Given these common themes, it follows from the structure of DNA that certain protein activities are required to accomplish replication: helicases to unwind the duplex; one or more proteins that bind single stranded DNA, to assist unwinding; and priming polymerases that can indeed synthesize nucleotide chains de novo [1]. There is a strong desire among molecular biologists to uncover such widely applicable mechanisms. Nevertheless, it is still striking when nearly identical solutions to complex molecular problems are uncovered in distantly related organisms. This now appears to be the case for the mechanism by which replicative polymerases achieve processivity in DNA replication, as revealed by the structures of the Escherichia coli and yeast polymerase processivity subunits (see Figure 1 ). The extent to which this breathtaking homology extends to other elements of the replication elongation complexes is not yet known.

DNA Replication and the Zipper Model DNA helicase acts like a zipper to separate the DNA double helix. So far we've been talking about DNA replication by using a zipper as an example. It really is one of the closest things we have to help us understand how DNA replication works. We talked about how the DNA molecule splits apart during semi-conservative replication and how the enzyme helicase acts just like a zipper slider to separate the DNA right down the middle. Helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds just like the wedge in the slider breaks apart the teeth on a zipper. But we didn't get to talk about how the daughter strands are put together on top of the parent template. So, in this lesson we're going to continue with the steps of DNA replication, and we'll keep thinking of it being similar to the form of a zipper." }, { "docid": "D18260#0", "title": "http://www-personal.ksu.edu/~bethmont/mutdes.html\nMutation, Mutagens, and DNA Repair Outline", "text": "\"Copyright 1998 by Beth A.

We are going to spend some time talking about how mutations can occur and what their consequences may be to cells; we will also be looking at the ways in which cells avoid mutations by repairing DNA damage. Why this focus? Why are mutations important? There are several reasons: 1) they may have deleterious or (rarely) advantageous consequences to an organism (or its descendants); 2) they are important to geneticists: the most common way we study something is to break it--ie., we search for or make a variant (mutant) lacking the ability to perform a process which we want to study.

The synthesis of a primer is necessary because the enzymes that synthesize DNA, which are called DNA polymerases, can only attach new DNA nucleotides to an existing strand of nucleotides. The primer therefore serves to prime and lay a foundation for DNA synthesis. The primers are removed before DNA replication is complete, and the gaps in the sequence are filled in with DNA by DNA polymerases.

The idea that we could use DNA for anything has only been around for a few years, and there you are, driving up the coast of California, musing on how to make your job easier. Suddenly it hits you - what if you could copy tiny parts of the huge DNA molecule really quickly, just like using a photocopier to duplicate a page in a book? That would sure make your life in the lab much more pleasant! Well, that's how Kary Mullis helped advance the science of DNA by advancing the science of PCR.

A lagging strand is the name for one of the two DNA strands in a double helix that is undergoing replication. This lesson will explain which strand is lagging and how it is replicated. Lagging Strand: Definition A lagging strand is one of two strands of DNA found at the replication fork, or junction, in the double helix; the other strand is called the leading strand. A lagging strand requires a slight delay before undergoing replication, and it must undergo replication discontinuously in small fragments. Understanding DNADNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a complex molecule, typically found in a cell's nucleus, that contains an organism's genetic information. The two strands of DNA form a double helix. The strands are complementary because they contain matching base pairs of the four chemicals found in DNA. One end of a DNA strand is not the same as the other. One end contains a 5' phosphate group, and the other contains a 3' hydroxyl group." }, { "docid": "D3553289#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/14753774/biochemistry-flash-cards/\nBiochemistry", "text": "\"135 terms devin_kearns Biochemistry Test 2Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

This reaction works only with the triphosphate forms of the nucleotides (such as deoxyadenosine triphosphate, or d ATP). The total amount of DNA at the end of the reaction can be as much as 20 times the amount of original input DNA, so most of the DNA present at the end must be progeny DNA.

Learn more about homozygous dominance with the help of some adorable cats!Definition of Homozygous Dominant Many genes come in two versions: the dominant allele and the recessive allele. Since diploid organisms (like you and me) have two copies of each of our genes, we could have one of each allele and be heterozygous or have two of the same and be homozygous. An individual is homozygous dominant if they have two copies of the dominant gene. Example of Homozygous Dominant In cats, the agouti allele is dominant. It causes each hair in the cat's coat to have sections that are black and sections that are another color, such as gray. Tabby cats have the agouti allele, giving their fur a multicolored appearance. Because this allele is dominant, we can't know from looking at this cat whether she has two copies of the agouti allele (this would make them homozygous dominant) or whether she has just one agouti allele and carries the recessive non-agouti allele." }, { "docid": "D3290334#0", "title": "https://www.ndsu.edu/pubweb/~mcclean/plsc431/mendel/mendel6.htm\n.", "text": "Mendel's First Law Variations to Mendel's First Law Pedigree Analysis Mendel's Second Law Chi-Square Test Pleiotropy Epistasis Modifier Genes Penetrance and Expressivity Study Questions Mendelian Genetics Overheads Mendelian Genetics WWW Links Genetic Topics Gene Interactions The genes of an individual do not operate isolated from one another, but obviously are functioning in a common cellular environment.

Recessive trait in Genetics--Biology.1 following Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are two kinds of trait: dominant and recessive. Remember that there are two copies of each gene in a genome. For a recessive trait to be expressed, you would have two have two copies of the recessive gene. If you had one recessive and one dominant, then the dominant trait would be expressed. For example, brown eyes are the dominant trait and blue is recessive. If you had a brown eye gene and a blue eye gene, brown would be expressed. You would need two blue eye genes to express that trait. So a recessive trait can be described as a trait which will not be expressed in the phenotype if two different genes are present at that locus in the genotype.

Incomplete dominance is a naturally occurring phenomenon that may be present during the expression of this type of inheritance. This article describes incomplete dominance and goes over examples found in nature. Definition of Incomplete Dominance In nature, sexual reproduction is a process by which organisms increase genetic diversity in their offspring, where parents donate genetic material for specific traits (genes) to progeny (offspring). This is done so that the offspring will have a different combination of traits than their parents. Alternate versions of a gene are called alleles, and they determine what characteristics are exhibited in the individual. In dominant and recessive heredity, dominant alleles are those that require only one copy to be displayed. Recessive alleles, however, require two alleles in order to show up in the organism. So under most circumstances, an individual with one dominant and one recessive allele (called a heterozygote) will only express the dominant version. However, this is not the case when it comes to incomplete dominance." }, { "docid": "D109196#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allele\nAllele", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search An allele ( / ə ˈ l iː l /) [1] [2] is a variant form of a given gene. [ 3] Sometimes, different alleles can result in different observable phenotypic traits, such as different pigmentation. A notable example of this trait of color variation is Gregor Mendel's discovery that the white and purple flower colors in pea plants were the result of \"\"pure line\"\" traits which could be used as a control for future experiments. However, most genetic variations result in little or no observable variation. The word \"\"allele\"\" is a short form of allelomorph (\"\"other form\"\", a word coined by British geneticists William Bateson and Edith Rebecca Saunders ), [4] [5] which was used in the early days of genetics to describe variant forms of a gene detected as different phenotypes. It derives from the Greek prefix ἀλλήλ, allel, meaning \"\"reciprocal\"\", or \"\"each other\"\", which itself is related to the Greek adjective ἄλλος, allos (cognate with Latin alius ), meaning \"\"other\"\". Most multicellular organisms have two sets of chromosomes; that is, they are diploid. These chromosomes are referred to as homologous chromosomes.

By contrast, homozygous is when there are two copies of the same allele at the same locus. The term heterozygous is derived from \"\"hetero-\"\" meaning different and \"\"-zygous\"\" meaning related to a fertilized egg ( zygote ). Determining Traits Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each locus, with one allele inherited from each parent. The specific pairing of alleles translates to variations in an individual’s genetic traits. An allele can either be dominant or recessive. Dominant alleles are those that express a trait even if there is only one copy. Recessive alleles can only express themselves if there are two copies. One such example is brown eyes (which is dominant) and blue eyes (which is recessive).

This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles. Unlike complete dominance inheritance, one allele does not dominate or mask the other. Incomplete dominance occurs in the polygenic inheritance of traits such as eye color and skin color. It is a cornerstone in the study of non-Mendelian genetics. Incomplete Dominance Vs. Co-Dominance Incomplete genetic dominance is similar to but different from co-dominance. Whereas incomplete dominance is a blending of traits, in co-dominance an additional phenotype is produced and both alleles are expressed completely.

To really simplify things, some traits are decided depending on the alleles present, search the pea experiment for example. A dominant allele will mean that even if only one (out of the two genes) it would mean that the dominant allele would be the one that's expressed. This differs to recessive as for a recessive allele to show phenotypically then both alleles would need to be this variant, otherwise the dominant allele would be expressed over the recessive. Please bare in mind that this is a very simplified version for explanatory reasons and therefore shouldn't be taken literally!4.5k Views Related Questions More Answers Below What is a dominant trait in biology?

These laws were initially controversial. When Mendel's theories were integrated with the Boveri–Sutton chromosome theory of inheritance by Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1915, they became the core of classical genetics. Ronald Fisher combined these ideas with the theory of natural selection in his 1930 book The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection, putting evolution onto a mathematical footing and forming the basis for population genetics within the modern evolutionary synthesis.

Burgers, fries, and milkshakes probably aren’t your best bet if you’re on a diet. But over the past several years, fast-food chains have taken major strides to offer menu selections that are decidedly healthy. So when we’re hungry and have nowhere else to turn, a quick study of the menu board at these fast-food destinations can show that it’s not all so terrible after all. Right off the bat, it would seem that the burger joints would have the least healthy options, but there are some items that, surprisingly, aren't filled with bad ingredients and tons of calories. You're never going to mistake these spots for a wheatgrass bar, but in a pinch you can get out of there with minimal grease. Salads may seem the obvious choice, but aren't very healthy if loaded with breaded, fried chicken chunks, and creamy dressings. And keep in mind that while some sandwiches and entrées are healthier, that's often without the add-ons that boost flavor appeal. But the healthy choices don't have to be completely bland: When possible, ask for dressings, sauces, and condiments on the side so you can control the amount put on. And don't rule out combos completely — a combo of two items can be good, as long as the total intake doesn't end up being more than one unhealthy item." }, { "docid": "D2092419#0", "title": "https://www.livestrong.com/article/425790-nutritional-information-for-jersey-mikes/\nNutritional Information for Jersey Mike's", "text": "Nutritional Information for Jersey Mike'sby ELIZA MARTINEZ Oct. 03, 2017Jersey Mike's is a submarine sandwich shop that offers both cold and hot sandwiches.

( AP/Reed Saxon)Pizza Hut has been trying to recharge its business in the US for quite a while. The Yum! Brands chain has seen eight straight quarters of declining domestic sales; meanwhile, its smaller competitors, Papa John’s and Domino’s, have been munching on wider and wider slices of the market. Now Pizza Hut is staking its comeback, at least in part, on the gluten-free diet trend. The chain has partnered with Udi’s Gluten Free, the world’s largest producer of gluten-free foods, and a nonprofit called the Gluten Intolerance Group, to make the pizzas. It isn’t the only major pizza chain in America with a gluten-free pizza option—Domino’s put gluten-free crusts on its menu two years ago—but whereas Domino’s couldn’t promise that pizzas made with those crusts would be safe from cross-contamination, Pizza Hut said it’s keeping the ingredients for its gluten-free pizzas totally separate from all others in each restaurant where the pizzas are offered. Special kits containing Udi’s crusts, cheese, marinara sauce, and pepperoni will be kept together, and each gluten-free pie will be baked on parchment paper, cut with a designated pizza cutter, and delivered in an Udi’s-labeled pizza box. Employees handling gluten-free pizzas must wear gloves and follow other guidelines as advised by the Gluten Intolerance Group. The gluten-free pies, 10 inches in diameter and cut into six slices, will cost $9.99." }, { "docid": "D2945977#0", "title": "http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/dominos-pizza/boneless-chicken\nBoneless Chicken", "text": "Food database and calorie counter Source: Member Domino's Pizza Boneless Chicken Nutrition Facts Serving Size: 3 pieces (76g)Amount Per Serving Calories from Fat 50Calories 150% Daily Values*Total Fat 6g 9 %Saturated Fat 1g 5 %Trans Fat 0g Cholesterol 20mg 7 %Sodium 440mg 18 %Total Carbohydrate 14g 5 %Dietary Fiber 1g 4 %Sugars 1g Protein 12g Vitamin A 0% Vitamin C 0%Calcium 0% Iron 4%* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2000 calorie diet.

Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Ingredients According to Epicurious, the Reuben sandwich made with rye bread, corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing. Traditionally the whole sandwich is placed under a broiler to toast the bread and melt the cheese, but some people prefer to toast it open-faced. Calories Two slices of rye bread contain about 140 calories. One slice of Swiss cheese contains about 105 calories, 3 oz. of corned beef contain about 210 calories and 2 tbsp. of Russian dressing contain about 105 calories. This works out to approximately 560 calories, or a little more than a quarter of the USDA recommended daily calorie allowance for the average adult. Nutrients A Reuben contains about 40 g of carbohydrates, 28 g of protein and 5 g of fiber. Considerations While it is high in protein, a Reuben sandwich contains nearly 2100 mg of sodium -- about a third more than the 1500 mg the American Heart Association recommends for the whole day." }, { "docid": "D1776342#0", "title": "http://www.diet-i.com/calorie_chart/calories-in-salsa.htm\nCalories in Salsa", "text": "OK so Diet-i.com uses cookies to ensure you get the very best experience on this website Read more Cookie Consent plugin for the EU cookie law Diet Information Calories in Salsa - Calorie Content Calories in Salsa Diet and Weight Loss - Food Calories Index - Calories Burned During Exercise Calorie Counting vs. Carbs - 1000 Calorie Plan - 1200 Calorie Diet - 1600 Calorie Diet1800 Calorie Diet - 2000 Calorie Plan - Calorie Needs For Children - Calorie Needs For Teens Diet Nutrition Advice Calories in Salsa Note: Food Serving Size is 2 tbsp Unless Otherwise Stated Salsas Calories Hot Medium (1 tbsp) Mild Fat-Free Thick and Chunky Hot Thick and Chunky Mild Hot Green Chili10 10 10 10 10 10 12Salsa: Calorie Intake and Weight Management The calorie-content of Salsa is low.

The real action is in the frozen foods aisle of your supermarket, where men and women unencumbered by domestic attachment (and, presumably, cooking skills) gather to hunt down the evening’s meals. While we’re not sure the freezer section can quite hold a candle to Tinder, we do know one thing: finding foods you can love—and that will love you back—truly is possible, if you know what to look for. And microwave meals aren’t as nutritionally destitute as you might think—in fact, they can lead to quick weight loss: A 2014 study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that when you opt for a frozen meal from the grocery store, you’ll consume an average of 253 fewer calories and 2.6 less grams of saturated fat per day than if you stopped at a fast food joint. Whether you’re serious about nutrition or just cruising the frozen food scene looking for Mr. Hot Pockets, we’ve got the lowdown on the best options in your supermarket. The researchers of Eat This, Not That! put on their mittens and reached deep into the freezer section to find the 46 best frozen food entrees. And to blast even more fat, don’t miss these essential 40 Ways to Lose 4 Inches of Body Fat!FROZEN BREAKFAST ENTREESYou want to start every morning with a healthy dose of protein (think 10 grams and up) and a belly-filling boost of fiber (try for 5 grams and up).

Surely, you’d think I’d just discovered the Holy Grail of nutrition. But in fact, what I’d just discovered was pizza. Pizza as the Italians make it, that is. Here in America, where chains like Pizza Hut and Papa John’s make it a contest to see which one can come up with the most caloric concotion of this simple dish, pizza has turned into at times a gnarly nutritional nightmare that can pack more than half a day’s worth of calories and nearly a day’s worth of sodium. So we couldn’t help but be intrigued when we heard the news that Domino’s just opened up a pizza delivery shop in Milan. Thankfully, the chain is one of the healthiest pizza chains in America, making a recent effort to slim down their pies. But you'll still find calorie bombs in surprising places.

While it has been translated into English, it is still only ever sung in the original Welsh. Having been written in the closing decade of the nineteenth century, it came to prominence during the Welsh Revival of 1904-5 when it was one of the most frequently sung expressions of spiritual longing and desire for personal holiness by those who were caught up in that great move of the Holy Spirit. The song has remained a great favourite ever since, still often being sung at concerts and eisteddfodau, and even before international rugby matches at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff. It has even developed the status of one of the great icons of Wales; and even t-shirts, mugs, badges, caps, cards and posters can be seen in many ‘Welsh’ shops with the words of the song on them. Its iconic status reflects the deeply-rooted and rich Christian heritage that is still a strong part of Welsh culture even today. Because of its huge popularity, it is also a song whose origins have become mythologised. There are various stories about how it came to be written, and people from several distinct communities today claim theirs to be the place where the song was composed. There is even misapprehension concerning the identity of the person who wrote the famous tune which usually accompanies the words. ' Calon Lân' was written by a man who, though a believer and a faithful chapel man, struggled with personal frailty; and it can be seen as a deep and personal expression for a greater measure of personal, God-pleasing sanctity in his life." }, { "docid": "D1750708#0", "title": "https://whatscookingamerica.net/History/MilkChocolate.htm\nMilk Chocolate History", "text": "Milk Chocolate History Pin Share 15 Tweet Stumble Yum Email History of Milk Chocolate The development of milk chocolate by Daniel Peter changed the flavor of chocolate around the world. In 1887, Daniel Peter adopted the original formula for what was to become the first successful milk chocolate in the entire world. Peter called his product, “Gala” from the Greek, which means, “from the milk.” Daniel Peter worked in the Nestle factory in Vevey, Switzerland until he was in his 90’s. Today, milk chocolate contains chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, vanilla, milk solids, and lecithin. Milk chocolate must contain 10% chocolate liquor, 3.7% milk fats, and 12% milk solids. The quality of milk chocolate varies from brand to brand with European brands usually of higher quality. The following history information on Daniel Peter (1836-1919), the inventory of milk chocolate was written by Francois Auguste Peter, Sr. ( 1898-1991), grandson of Daniel Peter.

The moderator of the debate was a learned rabbi, and as the Christian pressed the claims of this passage home it became so clear that the passage was pointing to Jesus Christ that the rabbi closed the debate with these words: \"\"Let us shut up our books, for if we go on examining the prophecy we shall all become Christians. \"\" Clarence Larkin in \"\" The Book of Daniel\"\": \"\"From this we see that Daniel's seventieth week (Daniel 9:24-27), Jesus' Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24) and John's seals, trumpets, and vials (Revelation 6:1 to 18:24) cover the same period, and are Jewish and have no reference to the Christian Church." }, { "docid": "D326689#0", "title": "http://www.ourbabynamer.com/meaning-of-Daniel.html\nDaniel Meaning", "text": "\"Daniel Meaning Name: What does Daniel mean?

It was traditionally taken to be 120 acres (49 hectares), but was in fact a measure of value and tax assessment, including obligations for food-rent ( feorm ), maintenance and repair of bridges and fortifications, manpower for the army ( fyrd ), and (eventually) the geld land tax. The hide's method of calculation is now obscure: different properties with the same hidage could vary greatly in extent even in the same county. Following the Norman Conquest of England, the hidage assessments were recorded in the Domesday Book and there was a tendency for land producing £ 1 of income per year to be assessed at 1 hide. The Norman kings continued to use the unit for their tax assessments until the end of the 12th century. The hide was divided into 4 yardlands or virgates. It was hence nominally equivalent in area to a carucate, [1] a unit used in the Danelaw.

She made her way up the firm's ranks and, after becoming a senior partner, conspired with Daniel Hardman to oust the three partners and restructure the firm as Pearson Hardman, with Hardman taking over the reins as managing partner.

Dutch ovens have been used as cooking vessels for hundreds of years.

Consequently, the study of the birth, life, and death of stars is central to the field of astronomy. Star Formation Stars are born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies. A familiar example of such as a dust cloud is the Orion Nebula. Turbulence deep within these clouds gives rise to knots with sufficient mass that the gas and dust can begin to collapse under its own gravitational attraction. As the cloud collapses, the material at the center begins to heat up. Known as a protostar, it is this hot core at the heart of the collapsing cloud that will one day become a star. Three-dimensional computer models of star formation predict that the spinning clouds of collapsing gas and dust may break up into two or three blobs; this would explain why the majority the stars in the Milky Way are paired or in groups of multiple stars." }, { "docid": "D353880#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(moon)\nTitan (moon)", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Titania (moon) or Triton (moon).

The eruption was one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in recorded history. The effects were experienced on a global scale. Fine ashes from the eruption were carried by upper level winds as far away as New York City. The explosion was heard more than 3000 miles away. Volcanic dust blew into the upper atmosphere affecting incoming solar radiation and the earth's weather for several years. A series of large tsunami waves generated by the main explosion, some reaching a height of nearly 40 meters (more than 120 feet) above sea level, killed more than 36,000 people in the coastal towns and villages along the Sunda Strait on Java and Sumatra islands. Tsunami waves were recorded or observed throughout the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the American West Coast, South America, and even as far away as the English Channel.

The amount of radiation reflected by a surface is referred to as its albedo. Albedo can range from a value of 0 (no reflection) to a value of 1 (100% reflection). It is important to know how much of the Sun's energy at the poles is reflected, absorbed, or radiated back to into space. Many scientists are researching this question, and for a very good reason. What if, for example, more energy reached the Earth than was reflected or radiated back into space? The Earth as a system has an energy budget that includes all gains of incoming energy and all losses of outgoing energy. When the flow of incoming solar energy is balanced by an equal flow of heat to space, the Earth is in radiative equilibrium. Global temperature is relatively stable when the sum of the gains is approximately equal to the sum of the losses. Anything that increases or decreases the amount of incoming or outgoing energy disturbs Earth's radiative equilibrium; global temperatures rise or fall in response." }, { "docid": "D122764#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cometary\nComet", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Cometary)navigation search This article is about the astronomical objects.

The atoms in the cloud are energized by ultraviolet light from a nearby star and emit radiation as they fall back into lower energy states (in much the same way as a neon light). These nebulae are usually red because the predominant emission line of hydrogen happens to be red (other colours are produced by other atoms, but hydrogen is by far the most abundant). Emission nebulae are usually the sites of recent and ongoing star formation. Planetary nebulae are shells of gas thrown out by some stars near the end of their lives. Our Sun will probably produce a planetary nebula in about 5 thousand million years.

Spotting it could prove quite challenging, but if you plan ahead and observe from a location with a good horizon without obstructions (such as trees or buildings), you should be able to see it. The best chance comes around late December; greatest elongation occurs on the 28th and this is when Mercury is highest in the sky. Of the famous five naked-eye planets, Mercury can sometimes be the second brightest, outshining all stars, and can often be the planet closest to Earth – and yet it has been seen by remarkably few people! This is because Mercury, the innermost planet of the solar system, can never depart more than 28° from the Sun as seen from our point of view. Mercury can never be seen more than roughly two hours before or after the Sun, so because of this it is not well known. The beautiful, and sometimes orange planet, can be amazingly prominent near greatest elongation at its few best apparitions of the year (there are many separate apparitions of Mercury in a year because the swift planet races back and forth between the morning and evening sides of the Sun). To know when one of these favorable periods will occur (this month’s apparition is far from favorable) please consult this page at the beginning of each month. However, observers at mid-northern latitudes may follow the general rule that Mercury is best seen as an evening object sometime in late winter or early spring, and as a morning object in late summer or early autumn.

( JP) is a Nintendo Entertainment System video game released in 1985 by Nintendo. The game, designed by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka, has become one of the most important and successful video games of all time. The second best selling video game (succeeded solely by Wii Sports ), Super Mario Bros. has found its way in the homes of over 40 million consumers. It was introduced to many Americans as an arcade title, though the home console version generated more sales. A successor to the arcade video game Mario Bros., the game was perhaps as popular as it was due to the increasing fanbase of gamers who immensely enjoyed titles like Donkey Kong and, naturally, Mario Bros. The Nintendo Entertainment System's success in America can arguably be attributed to the video game, and certainly it helped increase the sales of the Famicom in Japan. In Super Mario Bros., the character Mario sets off on an adventure to save the beautiful Princess Peach Toadstool from King Bowser Koopa. She is capable of reversing the black magic of King Koopa, which explains his motives for kidnapping her. King Koopa uses his magic on the Mushroom Kingdom and transforms the Toads of the land into mushrooms and stones." }, { "docid": "D105441#0", "title": "https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jan/04/video-games-2017-guide\nThe 42 most anticipated video games of 2017", "text": "\"Games The 42 most anticipated video games of 2017A bumper guide to the most exciting, innovative and impressive new games of the coming year Keith Stuart@keefstuart Wed 4 Jan 2017 07.15 EST06.53 EST3,911 426Horizon: Zero Drawn – one of the most keenly anticipated console titles in a busy year.

Unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus led Alexis Bouvard to deduce that its orbit was subject to gravitational perturbation by an unknown planet. Neptune was subsequently observed by Johann Galle within a degree of the position predicted by Urbain Le Verrier, and its largest moon, Triton, was discovered shortly thereafter, though none of the planet's remaining 12 moons were located telescopically until the 20th century. Neptune has been visited by only one spacecraft, Voyager 2, which flew by the planet on August 25, 1989.

In the Documentary “Nothing But The Beat”, Guetta says “I wanted to create a bridge between Europe and America,” and he did just that. He saw house music as a way to bring urban and white culture together under one roof. Now signed to EMI Virgin Records, Guetta has proven that house music is here to stay. Back in the early 1980s, Chicago club and radio DJ’s were playing various styles of dance and disco music. In the mid 1980s and 1990s, house music became a major fixation on the UK music charts. In the past decade, house music has become very popular in America because many artists have crossed over to the mainstream. Young people are now more interested in the chorus and beat of a song over the words, something that house music has capitalized on.

A leachate evaporation pond in a landfill site located in Cancún, Mexico A leachate is any liquid that, in the course of passing through matter, extracts soluble or suspended solids, or any other component of the material through which it has passed. Leachate is a widely used term in the environmental sciences where it has the specific meaning of a liquid that has dissolved or entrained environmentally harmful substances that may then enter the environment. It is most commonly used in the context of land-filling of putrescible or industrial waste. In the narrow environmental context leachate is therefore any liquid material that drains from land or stockpiled material and contains significantly elevated concentrations of undesirable material derived from the material that it has passed through.

[ 1] [2] It usually contains both dissolved and suspended material. The generation of leachate is caused principally by precipitation percolating through waste deposited in a landfill. Once in contact with decomposing solid waste, the percolating water becomes contaminated, and if it then flows out of the waste material it is termed leachate. [" } ]

For solid waste policy to be effective, inputs should come from stakeholders, including citizens, businesses, community based-organizations, non governmental organizations, government agencies, universities, and other research organizations. These inputs form the basis of policy frameworks that influence solid waste management decisions. [ 1] In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates household, industrial, manufacturing, and commercial solid and hazardous wastes under the 1976 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). [ 2] Effective solid waste management is a cooperative effort involving federal, state, regional, and local entities.

Landfills vs Open Dumps, part 1", "text": "by: Leslie Jones When you think of a landfill, does it conjure up an image of a big hole in the ground with trash in it that gets covered with dirt every once in a while? Studies show that when asked what a landfill is, this is a close depiction of several answers given. In reality, Federal guidelines have made modern landfills an intricate layering system that puts “open dumps” to shame and will keep them a thing of the past. An open dump refers to a land disposal site where solid waste is disposed of in a manner that does not protect the environment, is susceptible to open burning, and is exposed to the elements, vectors, and scavengers. Throughout history dumps have been used to solve solid waste problems. In the past, open dumping was used as an inexpensive and often appropriate solution. It served the purpose of keeping waste separated from commercial and residential areas thus limiting exposure to disease and objectionable odors. However, the introduction of more complex products into the waste stream, increased urbanization and population growth, have all resulted in a huge increase in the negative impacts of open dumps. Today the use of open dumps does not conform to the increasing public awareness of environmental issues, including the current focus on sustainability and global climate change. Closing, or alternatively upgrading, open dumps is therefore a key issue for many communities." }, { "docid": "D83074#0", "title": "http://www.advanceddisposal.com/for-mother-earth/education-zone/learn-about-landfills.aspx\nLearn About Landfills", "text": "Learn About Landfills There’s more to them than meets the eye. And nose. What is a landfill? A landfill is a carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground, in which trash is separated from the area around it. Why are landfills important? Landfills contain garbage and serve to prevent contamination between the waste and the surrounding environment, especially groundwater. What happens to the trash in a landfill? Landfills are not designed to break down trash, merely to bury it. That’s because they contain minimal amounts of oxygen and moisture, which prevents trash from breaking down rapidly. So landfills are carefully filled, monitored and maintained while they are active and for up to 30 years after they are closed." }, { "docid": "D2797804#0", "title": "http://military.wikia.com/wiki/Sheridan_Reserve_Center\nSheridan Reserve Center", "text": "\"The Sheridan Reserve Center is a former fort in Lake Forest, Highwood, and Highland Park [1] in Lake County, Illinois, United States.

Every country on earth seems to have difficulty dealing with their municipal solid waste. At an individual level, this problem affects people everywhere, for everyone contributes their share of waste that ends up in landfills, incinerators, waste-to-energy plants or the recycling bin. Each homeowner has several options in disposing of waste. They range from simply throwing waste in the garbage to recycling to turning that waste into energy. The following 5 waste disposal systems are available to just about anyone given the right tools and space. 1. Simply Throwing Garbage away As common as throwing garbage away is, it is also highly problematic when it is taken as a whole. The U. S. commonly throws away 250 million tons or more of garbage annually, consuming more than 3,500 acres of land in the process. There is something very passive about throwing garbage away: put it in the basket and watch the truck haul it away." }, { "docid": "D2109104#0", "title": "http://www.cpeo.org/techtree/ttdescript/lancap.htm\n.", "text": "\"Landfill Caps and Enhancements Description Landfill capping is a containment technology that forms a barrier between the contaminated media and the surface, thereby shielding humans and the environment from the harmful effects of its contents and perhaps limiting the migration of the contents. A cap must restrict surface water infiltration into the contaminated subsurface to reduce the potential for contaminants to leach from the site. Landfills have been the most common form of waste disposal, and old landfills are present or in close proximity to most communities in the United States. Prior to environmental laws that regulated waste disposal, landfills were no more than holes in the ground filled with waste and covered with dirt. Many of the old landfills that are problems today were constructed in this fashion. When hazardous waste was disposed, it often was placed in metal drums that rusted through in a few years, leaving the waste to seep through the landfill. Water was allowed to seep through the cover of the landfill, saturate the wastes, and come out the bottom or sides as leachate (i.e., liquid that leaches through the landfill and collects in pockets in the landfill material or below the landfill). Leachate, in turn, often flowed into groundwater. In 1976, Congress passed the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), tightening the regulatory oversight of existing landfills and establishing basic standards for covering landfills (i.e., landfill caps and containing leachate. Two types of caps were required: those for hazardous waste landfills and those for non-hazardous waste landfills." }, { "docid": "D387128#0", "title": "http://www.buzzle.com/articles/three-major-types-of-environmental-pollution.html\nThe Effects of the Three Major Types of Environmental Pollution", "text": "The Effects of the Three Major Types of Environmental Pollution Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, our planet has been affected by an issue which is perhaps more grave than those like overpopulation, natural disasters, and even terrorism.

Technically speaking, environmental pollution can be defined as the addition of contaminants and harmful substances to the environment. The contaminants affect all living organisms including human beings. In the last three hundred years, especially in the 20th century, the Earth has endured many problems that have spoiled its environment. Overpopulation, increase in demand and supply of commodities, exploitation of natural resources, technological advancement, shortage of eco-friendly options, etc., are some of the main reasons for this global issue of pollution.

The leachate collection system's job is to direct the leachate to collection sumps so it can be properly removed from the landfill. The leachate collection system is designed with a minimum 2 percent slope to drain to collection sumps. A leachate collection sump consists of an HDPE riser and submersible pump. Leachate drains to the leachate collection system, where it is transferred to a central collection pump and piped to an onsite holding tank or it can be re-circulated in the areas underlain by Subtitle D liner system. As necessary, the leachate stored in the tanks is transported to an approved offsite wastewater treatment plant for disposal.

What is Pulverised Fuel Ash? Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA) is the fine ash produced during the combustion process used at coal-fired power stations. When coal is burned, the fine ash is carried out with the flue gas. This passes through electrostatic precipitators that remove these fine particles as Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA). PFA is then collected in silos where it is either sold dry for use in concrete or moistened (called conditioning) for applications such as fill, grouts, etc. Some stations may mix the ash with large quantities of water and pump the resulting slurry to lagoons." }, { "docid": "D2644489#0", "title": "https://www.britannica.com/technology/solid-waste-management\nSolid-waste management", "text": "Solid-waste management, the collecting, treating, and disposing of solid material that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful.

It was not until 320 bce in Athens that the first known law forbidding this practice was established. At that time a system for waste removal began to evolve in Greece and in the Greek-dominated cities of the eastern Mediterranean. In ancient Rome, property owners were responsible for cleaning the streets fronting their property. But organized waste collection was associated only with state-sponsored events such as parades. Disposal methods were very crude, involving open pits located just outside the city walls. As populations increased, efforts were made to transport waste farther out from the cities." }, { "docid": "D683434#0", "title": "http://www.scdhec.gov/HomeAndEnvironment/Land/Landfills/HowLandfillsWork/\nHow Landfills Work", "text": "\"DHEC > Environmen... > Land... > Landfills... > How Landfills Work How Landfills Work It's not a dump - so don't call it that.

It's the place your household garbage calls home. So, just what is a Class 3 landfill? A Class 3 landfill is a scientifically engineered facility built into or on the ground that is designed to hold and isolate waste from the environment. Federal and state regulations strictly govern the location, design, operation and closure of Class 3 landfills in order to protect human health and the environment. Class 3 landfills are the most common places for waste disposal and are an important part of an integrated waste management system. Today, about 70.5 percent of the MSW generated in South Carolina is disposed of in the state's 23 permitted Class 3 landfills.

Water pollution is one of many types of pollution which results from contaminants being introduced into the natural environment. Pollution causes adverse change. Water pollution is often caused by the discharge of inadequately treated wastewater into natural bodies of water. This can lead to environmental degradation of aquatic ecosystems. In turn, this can lead to public health problems. For example, people living downstream may use the same polluted river water for drinking or bathing or irrigation. Water pollution affects the entire biosphere of plants and organisms living in these water bodies, as well as organisms and plants that might be exposed to the water.

Groundwater pollution (also called groundwater contamination) occurs when pollutants are released to the ground and make their way down into groundwater. This type of water pollution can also occur naturally due to the presence of a minor and unwanted constituent, contaminant or impurity in the groundwater, in which case it is more likely referred to as contamination rather than pollution. The pollutant creates a contaminant plume within an aquifer. Movement of water and dispersion within the aquifer spreads the pollutant over a wider area. Its advancing boundary, often called a plume edge, can intersect with groundwater wells or daylight into surface water such as seeps and spring, making the water supplies unsafe for humans and wildlife. The movement of the plume, called a plume front, may be analyzed through a hydrological transport model or groundwater model. Analysis of groundwater pollution may focus on soil characteristics and site geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, and the nature of the contaminants. Pollution can occur from on-site sanitation systems, landfills, effluent from wastewater treatment plants, leaking sewers, petrol filling stations or from over application of fertilizers in agriculture. Pollution (or contamination) can also occur from naturally occurring contaminants, such as arsenic or fluoride." }, { "docid": "D284632#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/79507265/apes-chapter-22-flash-cards/\nApes chapter 22", "text": "54 terms amelia_eriksen Apes chapter 22Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

A prude ( Old French prude meaning honourable woman) [1] is a person who is described as (or would describe themselves as) being concerned with decorum or propriety, significantly in excess of normal prevailing standards. They may be perceived as being more uncomfortable than most with sexuality or nudity. The name is generally considered a pejorative term to suggest fear and contempt of human sexuality and excessive, unusual modesty stemming from such a negative view of sexuality. It is hence unflattering, often used as an insult. A person with such attitude to sexuality may have reservations about nudity, public display of sexual affection, discussion of sexual matters, participating in romantic or sexual activity—reservations that exceed normal prevailing community standards. Exhibiting fear and discomfort with sexuality may be associated with advocating censorship of sexuality or nudity in the media, avoiding or condemning any public display of affection. The degree of prudery understood as fearful contempt of human sexuality can vary among different cultures and traditions. Another use of \"\"prude\"\" is as a label and an insult directed to anybody having reservations resulting from standards of modesty or even any moral standards and beliefs or which are not shared by the offender." } ]

Thanks to Dr. Drew and reality television, I participated in a wide array of televised interviews about my decision to quit porn. From Oprah to Extra! and The View to Tyra, some of our best-known talk show hosts wanted answers to complex questions: Why did I get into porn? What made me quit? I did my best to answer honestly and thoughtfully, not just for myself, but also for my compatriots still in the business, and for all of the young women out there who are a lot like I was when I first disrobed in front of a camera as a part-time job in college. These questions are more relevant than ever today, with the ongoing proliferation of porn in our culture and the potential consequences of participating in porn, both physically and possibly emotionally. A recent Daily Beast feature even addressed the lighter version of this issue. The article discussed how difficult it is to prevent your daughter from morphing into the newest, shiniest feminine archetype: a prince-seeking Disney princess. Of course, there was no way I could have explained my motivation to enter or exit porn in a 15-minute television interview, and I can’t get to the bottom of it in an article meant to be read over morning coffee." }, { "docid": "D2497586#0", "title": "http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Mrs.+Grundy\nMrs. Grundy", "text": "Mrs. Grundy Also found in: Thesaurus, Idioms, Wikipedia .

While engaged in conversation with the hostess, I spotted a young woman who my peripheral vision conned me into believing was the hostess’s sister, whom I’ve met several times. After my conversation with the hostess was over, I went in to hug the “sister” and realized, once it was too late, that it wasn’t the “sister,” and rather a girl I briefly met at the hostess’s baby shower a few months back and exchanged- maybe- two sentences with. She probably thought I was a lunatic and wondered why I was hugging her- she may not have even remembered me from the shower and figured I was just crazy and awkward. She politely proceeded with the hug, which was the one-armed-pat-on-the-back-no-frontal-contact-haphazard-hug and I desperately tried to play off the situation and pretend that hugging her was normal and intentional. Is hugging generally awkward? Not for me, because I love hugging. However, I occasionally forget that some people are finicky about not wanting weird people to touch them. Like me.

A prig, like the Pharisee, says: \"\"God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are\"\"—except that he often substitutes Self for God. A prig is one who works out his paltry accounts to the last farthing, while his millionaire neighbour lets accounts take care of themselves. A prig expects others to square themselves to his very inadequate measuring rod, and condemns them with confidence if they do not. A prig is wise beyond his years in all things that do not matter. A prig cracks nuts with a steamhammer: that is, calls in the first principles of morality to decide whether he may, or must, do something of as little importance as drinking a glass of beer. On the whole, one may, perhaps, say that all his different characteristics come from the combination, in varying proportions, of three things—the desire to do his duty, the belief that he knows better than other people, and blindness to the difference in value between different things." }, { "docid": "D1124232#0", "title": "http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pretender\n.", "text": "\"Top definition Pretender A woman who initially attempts to give men the impression that she is a prude and does not indulge in casual sex, but behind closed doors, she is very kinky and more than willing to engage in short-term, non-monogamous 'casual' sex with a man.

L. Snyder, Biometeorology Specialist Department of Land, Air and Water Resources University of California Davis, CA 95616, USAThe dew point temperature is defined as the temperature at which the air becomes saturated with water vapor when the air is cooled by removing sensible heat. It is very important in meteorology because it is directly related to the amount of water vapor in the air and it can be used to determine other variables (e.g., vapor pressure, relative humidity, wet bulb temperature, and vapor pressure deficit) that are often used in agriculture. In addition, the dew point measured during nighttime is often a good first guess for the next morning's minimum temperature. Consequently, it is extremely important for freeze protection of crops. The definition of the dew point temperature is given in the figure below. Nighttime Energy Balance and Inversions During nighttime, there is a net loss of long wave radiation from the surface to the sky. This causes the surface to cool and sensible heat, which is measured with a thermometer, is convected downward from the air to the surface to partially replace the heat loss. However, the surface cools faster than the air above and this usually leads to an inversion (i.e., the temperature increases with height). Also, heat is conducted upward through the soil to partially replace the heat lost to radiation. The net radiation is relatively constant during the night, but the volume of air supplying heat to the surface increases during the night and so the net rate of heat loss of air near the surface decreases with time during the night." }, { "docid": "D2984663#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/FAQ/4566\nIsaac Newton", "text": "\"Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society Society and Civilization Famous People Scientists Isaac Newton Unanswered | Answered Isaac Newton Parent Category: Scientists The English scientist, theologian and mathemetician who formulated important laws of gravitation and physics.

Dictionaries often define electricity as \"\"a fundamental entity of nature consisting of negative and positive kinds.\"\" This is a scientist's definition of the word, where \"\"quantity of electricity\"\" means the same as \"\"quantity of charge.\"\" In other words, electric charge is a charge of electricity. Each proton carries a small bit of electricity, as does each electron." }, { "docid": "D2722446#0", "title": "https://en.mimi.hu/biology/autotrophs.html\nAutotrophs", "text": "\"Autotrophsautotrophs An organism able to build all the complex organ ic molecule s that it requires as its own food source, using only simple inorganic compound s.

The answer to this question (or a question like this) is a measurement of temperature. The hotter something is, the higher its temperature. Therefore I would like to propose the following informal definition — temperature is a measure of hotness.

The work-energy theorem can be derived from Newton’s second law. Work transfers energy from one place to another or one form to another.

Say there is equilibrium, i.e. no net heat flow, why can the entropy not be sitting at a non-maximal value? From the second law of thermodynamics, it follows that never gets smaller and of course I know that for an isolated system there are many statements involving, which say what might happen for processes. But if I have equilibrium, then no relevant processes are going on. Some proofs in thermodynamics involve arguments how if we don't have maximal entropy, then we can do something which raises entropy. But why is that relevant or related equilibrium, i.e. to the positions for the termodynamic parameters, which don't change with time? One could argue that probably the energy doesn't sit at the minimal value, but in thermodynamics, without microscopic forces, the statement that the energy changes towards equilibrium and seeks its minimal value seems to be derived from maximal entropy.

In classical physics terms, you do work on an object when you exert a force on the object causing it to move some distance. The amount of work you actually do may have little relationship to the amount of effort you apply. For example, if you push on a car stuck in a snow drift, you may exert a lot of force (and effort) but if the car does not budge, you have not done any work! In order for work to be done on an object, the object must move some distance as a result of the force you apply. There are also constraints on the force you apply. Only force exerted in the same direction as the movement of the object result in work. You may think that you do a lot of work if you carry an arm full of books from home to school. In reality you do no work at all! In carrying the stack of books, you exert an upward force to hold the books so they don't fall to the ground." }, { "docid": "D496723#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion\nSimple harmonic motion", "text": "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Part of a series of articles about Classical mechanics Second law of motion History Timeline Branches [show]Fundamentals [show]Formulations [show]Core topics [show]Rotation [show]Scientists [show]v t e In mechanics and physics, simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion or oscillation motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement. Simple harmonic motion can serve as a mathematical model for a variety of motions, such as the oscillation of a spring. In addition, other phenomena can be approximated by simple harmonic motion, including the motion of a simple pendulum as well as molecular vibration. Simple harmonic motion is typified by the motion of a mass on a spring when it is subject to the linear elastic restoring force given by Hooke's Law. The motion is sinusoidal in time and demonstrates a single resonant frequency. For simple harmonic motion to be an accurate model for a pendulum, the net force on the object at the end of the pendulum must be proportional to the displacement. This is a good approximation when the angle of the swing is small. Simple harmonic motion provides a basis for the characterization of more complicated motions through the techniques of Fourier analysis. Therefore it can be simply defined as the periodic motion of a body along a straight line, such that the acceleration is directed towards the center of the motion and also proportional to the displacement from that point.

If an object is not horizontal to the ground, it may be on an inclined plane. We need to adjust both the calculations and the free-body diagram when determining the net force on an object on an inclined plane. Learn how in this lesson. Tilted Surfaces When you sit at the top of a slide, you are perpendicular to the ground. But if you scoot far enough forward, you will end up sliding down the slide because it is a tilted surface. So down you go until you reach the bottom, where you (hopefully) end up perpendicular to the ground once again. The reason you travel down the slide is because of an unbalanced force. This happens for most objects - unbalanced forces cause them to travel down tilted surfaces, which in physics we call inclined planes. Things like balls, toy cars, and dinner plates will all slide down an inclined plane as gravity pulls them back to Earth from their elevated position at the top of the plane." } ]

The latest sunrise of the year comes at the end of the first week. Hand in hand with the dipping mercury, comes the mounting depth of the snow, crowding the regularly plowed main thoroughfares. While Catskill region snow lovers, usually ski vacationers, revel in the splendid whiteness, most natives are more concerned with the safety of their daily commute to and from work. Away from the towns, the sounds of a January day seem muted, from the faint chirping of winter birds on a feeder, to the whining cars on a roadway at a distance, with an occasional chilling wind sighing through the bare woods. Against the pale skies, the land takes on a crisp outline that was hidden during foliage time. Now each tree is etched, displaying limbs stripped naked, clean and sharp against a frozen landscape. In the Hudson Valley lowlands of Ulster and Greene Counties, snowfall and snow cover amounts are directly related to temperature. January daily high temperatures normally hover just below the freezing mark for nearly all of the month, except in urbanized areas such as New Paltz, Kingston, Catskill and Saugerties, where the normal January high of the day can be at the freezing point or slightly above. These towns, in a cold January, will retain all fallen snow, while a warm January will result in melting during most of the daylight hours." }, { "docid": "D323607#0", "title": "https://www.weather.gov/phi/hist_phi\nHistorical Weather for Philadelphia/Mt.Holly,NJ WFO", "text": "\"Philadelphia/Mt Holly Weather Forecast Office Historical Weather for Philadelphia/Mt.

Its geographic location results in the State being influenced by wet, dry, hot, and cold airstreams, making for daily weather that is highly variable. The Garden State is 166 miles long from north to south, and its greatest width is about 65 miles. While this may not seem too large, there is a marked difference in climate between Cape May in the south and the Kittatinny Mountains of northwestern New Jersey. The dominant feature of the atmospheric circulation over North America, including New Jersey, is the broad, undulating flow from west to east across the middle latitudes of the continent. These \"\"prevailing westerlies\"\" shift north and south and vary in strength during the course of the year, exerting a major influence on the weather throughout the State. Some general observations about the temperature and precipitation in New Jersey include:1) Temperature differences between the northern and southern parts of the state are greatest in the winter and least in summer. All stations have registered readings of 100 degrees F or higher and have records of 0 degrees F or below.2) Average number of freeze free days in the northern highlands is 163, 179 in the central and southern interior, and 217 along the seacoast.3) Average annual precipitation ranges from about 40 inches along the southeast coast to 51 inches in north-central parts of the state. Many areas average between 43 and 47 inches.4) Snow may fall from about October 15 to April 30 in the highlands and from about November 15 to April 15 in southern counties.5) Most areas receive 25 to 30 thunderstorms per year, with fewer storms near the coast than farther inland. Approximately five tornadoes occur each year, and in general, they tend to be weak.6) Measurable precipitation falls on approximately 120 days." }, { "docid": "D2007626#0", "title": "http://www.horseshoecrab.org/info/conservation.html\n.", "text": "\"Conservation Assessing the Population Habitat Considerations Present Condition of Habitats Who Harvests Horseshoe Crabs? Biological and Environmental Impacts Socioeconomic Impacts Assessing the Population In order to accurately assess population trends in any group of animals, two things must happen: First, an accurate initial census (baseline) must be taken that counts (or estimates within an acceptable margin of error) the total number of individuals in a population. Second, the method by which the animals are counted after the baseline census must be consistent from location to location and from year to year. Unfortunately, in the case of horseshoe crabs, there is no accurate baseline data from previous years; in addition, governmental and environmental groups have employed different (i.e., inconsistent) censusing methods over the years. The end result is that, as of the year 2000, no one can say with certainty how many horseshoe crabs inhabit the Atlantic coast, or whether their numbers have gone up or down significantly in the past 10 or 20 years. Assessing Annual Recruitment The term \"\"annual recruitment\"\" refers to the number of juveniles that have been added to the population pool after a breeding season. Little is known about annual recruitment in horseshoe crabs. In addition, the number of larvae that survive to sexual maturity also remains unknown. Known factors about recruitment and mortality include the following: the maximum fecundity of the adults can be estimated (Shuster, 1982); most eggs that remain buried, and are not subject to shorebird predation, survive to hatching (Rudloe, 1979); and larval mortality from predation is substantial (Loveland et al., 1996)." }, { "docid": "D897026#0", "title": "https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/summary-info/national/2012/4\nSummary Information", "text": "\"State of the Climate Reports Summary Information Monthly Climate Briefings RSS Feed The State of the Climate Summary Information is a synopsis of the collection of national and global summaries released each month.

The term ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan; [1] it was chosen to suggest that the mail travels more efficiently and quickly ( zipping along) when senders use the code in the postal address. The basic format consists of five digits. An extended 'ZIP+4' code was introduced in 1983 which includes the five digits of the ZIP Code, followed by a hyphen and four additional digits that determine a more specific location. The term ZIP Code was originally registered as a servicemark by the U. S. Postal Service, but its registration has since expired.

Routing numbers are also known as banking routing numbers, routing transit numbers, RTNs, ABA numbers, and sometimes SWIFT codes (although these are quite different from routing numbers as SWIFT codes are solely used for international wire transfers while routing numbers are used for domestic transfers). Routing numbers differ for checking and savings accounts, prepaid cards, IRAs, lines of credit, and wire transfers. All banks usually have separate routing numbers for each of the states in the US. You can look for the routing number on the check (cheque book) issued by your credit union or can search this website for free." }, { "docid": "D1160470#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_O%27_Lakes,_Florida\nLand O' Lakes, Florida", "text": "\"Land O' Lakes, Florida From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Land O' Lakes, Florida Census-Designated Place Intersection of U.

How long will it keep frozen?? I have a buddy of mine that has about 40lbs of meat that he intended to make sausage with in and never did….. He knows that it was from 2011 hunting season….. Do you think that it is worth defrosting or should I just throw it away???? I do not have very much experience with venison and I really don’t even know what to look for to tell if it is bad…. He said that it has been frozen since it was packaged, but I have my concerns about using it without asking someone that is more familiar with it…. The little experience I have with venison was always fresh and never frozen, so I always knew that it was good to use…… Thoughts??? Opinions ???? Thanks Shoney Boy Jun 11, 2012 #2diggingdogfarm Master of the Pit Southern Tier of New York State I've used venison much older than that. : biggrin: As long as it isn't freezer burnt or rancid, i wouldn't hesitate to use it. ~Martin Jun 11, 2012 #3paulyd213Newbie WInchester Va Should be fine, I had some over the weekend from 2010.

Equatorial Lying between the Tropics of Cancer in the northern hemisphere and Capricorn in the south, equatorial climates are home to the world's rainforests, where rainfall and humidity are high. Surprisingly, temperatures are not that extreme, generally 25-35 °C, and vary little. The hottest months are only two or three degrees warmer than the cooler times of the year. Because these regions are so close to the Equator, the length of day and night hardly varies throughout the year.

The humid continental climate is noted for its variable weather patterns related to cyclonic storms and its large temperature range due to its interior location in mid-latitude continents. Controlling Factors The humid continental climate is known for its variable weather conditions due to its location in the midlatitudes and the year-round influence of the polar front. This climate lies in the boundary zone between many different air masses, principally polar and tropical ones (see air mass map ). Polar-type air masses collide with tropical type air masses causing uplift of the less dense and moister tropical air resulting in precipitation. Colliding along the polar front, these air masses turn and swirl into large extratropical cyclones steered by the polar front jet stream lying high in the troposphere. These huge systems generally work their way across the surface in a west to east fashion, embedded in the dominate wind flow of the westerly wind belt. Figure 9.26 Overlooking the Wisconsin River (Click image to enlarge)Continentality is an important controlling factor over the characteristics of this climate.

Along with the continental subarctic climate, the humid continental climate is a primarily Northern Hemispheric phenomena, since landmasses are absent at the significant latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Köppen-Geiger-Pohl system, this climate is divided into the Dfa, Dfb, Dwa, and Dwb subtypes.

One example of a landscape found within this climate type is shown by this photograph of a dairy farm in south-central Wisconsin.©Robert Frerck/Odyssey Productions Precipitation tends to be ample throughout the year in the Df section, being derived both from frontal cyclones and, in summer months, from convectional showers when maritime tropical air pushes northward behind the retreating polar front. Many areas show a distinct summer precipitation maximum because of this convective activity, although more uniform patterns are not uncommon. Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are an early summer occurrence when the polar front is in the southern margin of the Dfa region. Winter precipitation often occurs in the form of snow, and a continuous snow cover is established for from one to four months in many parts of the region, especially in the north.

Introduction Chicago lies midway between the Continental Divide and the Atlantic Ocean, and is 900 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. Chicago's climate is typically continental with cold winters, warm summers, and frequent short fluctuations in temperature, humidity, cloudiness, and wind direction. Many consider the more moderate temperatures of spring and fall to be the most pleasant. Lake Michigan provides a moderating influence on temperature while boosting the amount of snowfall received in the city. Climatic controls Four factors control the continental climate of Chicago: 1) the sun, 2) weather systems, 3) urban areas, and 4) Lake Michigan. Two major controls are latitude (reflecting the amount of solar input) and weather systems (air masses and cyclonic storms). The effects of Lake Michigan and the urban area are of lesser significance but they influence local climate conditions to varying degrees within the Chicago metropolitan area, rather than uniformly across the entire region. The sun, primary energy source for virtually all weather phenomena, in large part determines air temperatures and seasonal variations. Solar energy is three to four times greater in early summer than in early winter at Chicago’s mid-latitude location; which results in warm summers and cold winters." }, { "docid": "D117845#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate\nClimate", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This page presents a general overview of Earth's climate system.

[ 1] [2] It is measured by assessing the patterns of variation in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time. Climate differs from weather, in that weather only describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region. A region's climate is generated by the climate system, which has five components: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. [ 3]The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, and altitude, as well as nearby water bodies and their currents. Climates can be classified according to the average and the typical ranges of different variables, most commonly temperature and precipitation. The most commonly used classification scheme was the Köppen climate classification.

Different kinds of bacterial plasmids based on encoded genes (their roles)F-plasmids (fertility factor or sex factors): Bacterial cells with F plasmids are called F+ cells and acts as donor cells or +strain during bacterial conjugation. F factors are involved in bacterial conjugation. R-plasmids (resistance plasmids): These plasmids encode genes that confer bacterium resistance against antibiotics. R plasmids are easily transferred from one strain to another offering antibiotic resistance to neighboring cells easily. Col-plasmids: these plasmids carry genes that produce bacterial toxins called colicins.

Cancer immunotherapy In 2016 the American Society of Clinical Oncology nominated immunotherapy as one of the most significant medical breakthroughs for cancer. How does cancer immunotherapy work? Cancer immunotherapy is designed to induce, enhance, or suppress the body’s immune system to combat tumours by using the body’s own properties, or cells grown in the laboratory. Such therapy takes two different forms. The first, known as active immunotherapy, aims to stimulate the immune system, and the second, known as passive immunotherapy, aims to strengthen the cancer patient's immune system. Immunotherapy is achieved through a number of different approaches. These range from re-activating a switch in immune cells that tumour cells turn off to prevent their own destruction, to tagging cancer cells for their elimination by immune cells, or genetically modifying a patient’s own T cells, the foot soldiers of the immune system, to directly destroy cancer cells. Immunotherapy developed on the back of knowledge accumulated from the early development of vaccines and serum therapies for infectious diseases.

This is true, but the real wonder is the rise of antibiotic resistance in hospitals, communities, and the environment concomitant with their use. The extraordinary genetic capacities of microbes have benefitted from man's overuse of antibiotics to exploit every source of resistance genes and every means of horizontal gene transmission to develop multiple mechanisms of resistance for each and every antibiotic introduced into practice clinically, agriculturally, or otherwise. This review presents the salient aspects of antibiotic resistance development over the past half-century, with the oft-restated conclusion that it is time to act. To achieve complete restitution of therapeutic applications of antibiotics, there is a need for more information on the role of environmental microbiomes in the rise of antibiotic resistance. In particular, creative approaches to the discovery of novel antibiotics and their expedited and controlled introduction to therapy are obligatory.

Over the next 100 years, many significant discoveries lead to the conclusions that genes encode proteins and reside on chromosomes, which are composed of DNA. These findings culminated in the central dogma of molecular biology, that proteins are translated from RNA, which is transcribed from DNA. Plasmids and Recombinant DNA Technology Techniques in chemistry enable isolation and purification of cellular components, such as DNA, but practically this isolation is only feasible for relatively short DNA molecules. In order to isolate a particular gene from human chromosomal DNA, it would be necessary to isolate a sequence of a few hundred or few thousand basepairs from the other six billion basepairs of the human genome. Digesting the human genome with restriction enzymes would yield about two million DNA fragments, which is far too many to separate from each other for the purposes of isolating one specific DNA sequence. This obstacle has been overcome by the field of recombinant DNA technology, which enables the preparation of more managable (i.e., smaller) DNA fragments.

The bacterial cytoplasmic elements include homologs of the three major types of eukaryotic cytoskeletal proteins (actin, tubulin, and intermediate filament proteins) and a fourth group, the Min D-Par A group, that appears to be unique to bacteria. The cytoskeletal structures play important roles in cell division, cell polarity, cell shape regulation, plasmid partition, and other functions. The proteins self-assemble into filamentous structures in vitro and form intracellular ordered structures in vivo. In addition, there are a number of filamentous bacterial elements that may turn out to be cytoskeletal in nature. This review attempts to summarize and integrate the in vivo and in vitro aspects of these systems and to evaluate the probable future directions of this active research field.

The increasing incidence of nosocomial and community-acquired S. maltophilia infections is of particular concern for immunocompromised individuals, as this bacterial pathogen is associated with a significant fatality/case ratio. S. maltophilia is an environmental bacterium found in aqueous habitats, including plant rhizospheres, animals, foods, and water sources. Infections of S. maltophilia can occur in a range of organs and tissues; the organism is commonly found in respiratory tract infections. This review summarizes the current literature and presents S. maltophilia as an organism with various molecular mechanisms used for colonization and infection. S. maltophilia can be recovered from polymicrobial infections, most notably from the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients, as a cocolonizer with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Recent evidence of cell-cell communication between these pathogens has implications for the development of novel pharmacological therapies. Animal models of S. maltophilia infection have provided useful information about the type of host immune response induced by this opportunistic pathogen.

Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, with cells that are much smaller and more simply organized than those of eukaryotes, such as plants and animals.

E. coli bacteria on the left are resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics, and grow next to one antibiotic (bottom) and are less inhibited by another antibiotic (top). Beta-lactamases ( β-lactamases, also known as penicillinase) are enzymes ( EC 3.5.2.6) produced by bacteria, that provide multi-resistance to β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, cephamycins, and carbapenems ( ertapenem ), although carbapenems are relatively resistant to beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase provides antibiotic resistance by breaking the antibiotics ' structure. These antibiotics all have a common element in their molecular structure: a four-atom ring known as a β-lactam. Through hydrolysis, the lactamase enzyme breaks the β-lactam ring open, deactivating the molecule's antibacterial properties. Beta-lactam antibiotics are typically used to treat a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Beta-lactamases produced by Gram-negative organisms are usually secreted, especially when antibiotics are present in the environment.

Lambrecht Department of Plant Pathology, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NEIntroduction Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms, generally ranging from 1-2 µm in size that cannot be seen with the unaided eye ( Figure 1 ). Plant associated bacteria may be beneficial or detrimental. All plant surfaces have microbes on them (termed epiphytes), and some microbes live inside plants (termed endophytes). Some are residents and some are transient. Bacteria are among the microbes that successively colonize plants as they mature. Individual bacterial cells cannot be seen without the use of a microscope, however, large populations of bacteria become visible as aggregates in liquid, as biofilms on plants, as viscous suspensions plugging plant vessels, or colonies on petri dishes in the laboratory. For beneficial purposes or as pathogens, populations of 106 CFU (colony-forming units/milliliter) or higher are normally required for bacteria to function as biological control agents or cause infectious disease." }, { "docid": "D775569#0", "title": "http://www.gene.com/media/press-releases/4161/1979-07-11/first-successful-bacterial-production-of\n.", "text": "\"Wednesday, Jul 11, 1979First Successful Bacterial Production of Human Growth Hormone Announced South San Francisco, Calif. -- July 11, 1979 --Genentech, Inc., today announced the successful bacterial production of human growth hormone (h GH) using molecular biological techniques. Genentech's announcement of h GH production follows the company's success in producing human insulin and somatostatin using similar technology. This announcement follows the formal communication of Genentech's research results to the scientific community at the Mile's Symposium on July 11, 1979, in a research paper delivered by Genentech's Dr. David Goeddel. Human growth hormone is a protein hormone produced in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain mediating both growth and stature. It is currently used in the treatment of \"\"hypopituitary dwarfism,\"\" a children's disease in which the pituitary malfunctions and secretes insufficient amounts of h GH for normal growth, and results in dwarfism. Hypopituitary dwarfism is currently treated by administering h GH extracted from the pituitaries of human cadavers. Although this is a rare disease, h GH supplies are now so limited that many suffering from hypopituitary dwarfism are unable to receive treatment. The successful bacterial production of h GH will enable the production of sufficient quantities of h GH to treat all those hypopituitary patients who could benefit from its administration. In addition to being efficacious for dwarfism, h GH may have value in treating diffuse gastric bleeding, burns, bone disintegration, bone fractures, and other diseases. Supplies of h GH have been so limited that research has been restricted in these areas, but now adequate supplies of h GH produced by microbial sources will enable clinicians to investigate these important therapeutic uses." } ]

The species reacting with the aromatic ring is usually a positive ion or the end of a dipole. Nitration is one of the most important examples of electrophilic substituition. The electrophile in nitration is the nitronium ion which is generated from nitric acid by protonation and loss of water , using sulphuric acid as the dehydrating agent. The reaction is shown below : HNO3 + 2H2SO4 NO2+ + H3O+ + 2HSO4- In this experiment we will put nitro group on a benzene ring which already has ester group attached to it.

In a chemical reaction, the limiting reagent is the reactant that determines how much of the products are made.

The experimenter will simply fill a beaker with a measured quantity of water, then take a teaspoon of Copper Chloride, mass it, and add it to the water to make the solution. The dissolving of the Cu Cl2 is a physical reaction that occurs in chemistry. Forming the Solution The reaction will occur when the Aluminum is added to the newly formed Copper Chloride. First though, the experimenter must mass the Aluminum. It is important to note that this quantity is crucial and will determine the products of the reaction.

This quantity is sometimes referred to as the chemical amount. In Latin mole means a \"\"massive heap\"\" of material. It is convenient to think of a chemical mole as such. Visualizing a mole as a pile of particles, however, is just one way to understand this concept. A sample of a substance has a mass, volume (generally used with gases), and number of particles that is proportional to the chemical amount (measured in moles) of the sample. For example, one mole of oxygen gas (O 2 ) occupies a volume of 22.4 L at standard temperature and pressure (STP; 0°C and 1 atm), has a mass of 31.998 grams, and contains about 6.022 × 10 23 molecules of oxygen. Measuring one of these quantities allows the calculation of the others and this is frequently done in stoichiometry. The mole is to the amount of substance (or chemical amount) as the gram is to mass. Like other units of the SI system, prefixes can be used with the mole, so it is permissible to refer to 0.001 mol as 1 mmol just as 0.001 g is equivalent to 1 mg." }, { "docid": "D1806259#0", "title": "http://www.southchemistry.com/just/practice%20test%20ch15%202009.htm\n.", "text": "Equilibrium Practice Test1)For the equilibrium system given below: Cu 2+ ( aq) + Zn (s) -->Cu (s) + Zn 2+ ( aq)the correct form for the equilibrium constant expression is K c=A.

It is used in the design of water pipe systems [1] such as fire sprinkler systems, [2] water supply networks, and irrigation systems. It is named after Allen Hazen and Gardner Stewart Williams. The Hazen–Williams equation has the advantage that the coefficient C is not a function of the Reynolds number, but it has the disadvantage that it is only valid for water. Also, it does not account for the temperature or viscosity of the water. [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 General form2 Pipe equation2.1 U. S. customary units (Imperial)2.2 SI units3 See also4 References5 External links General form [ edit]Henri Pitot discovered that the velocity of a fluid was proportional to the square root of its head in the early 18th century. It takes energy to push a fluid through a pipe, and Antoine de Chézy discovered that the hydraulic head loss was proportional to the velocity squared. [ 4] Consequently, the Chézy formula relates hydraulic slope S (head loss per unit length) to the fluid velocity V and hydraulic radius R: The variable C expresses the proportionality, but the value of C is not a constant. In 1838 and 1839, Gotthilf Hagen and Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille independently determined a head loss equation for laminar flow, the Hagen–Poiseuille equation. Around 1845, Julius Weisbach and Henry Darcy developed the Darcy–Weisbach equation.

[ 1] [note 1] The time constant is the main characteristic unit of a first-order LTI system. In the time domain, the usual choice to explore the time response is through the step response to a step input, or the impulse response to a Dirac delta function input. [ 2] In the frequency domain (for example, looking at the Fourier transform of the step response, or using an input that is a simple sinusoidal function of time) the time constant also determines the bandwidth of a first-order time-invariant system, that is, the frequency at which the output signal power drops to half the value it has at low frequencies. The time constant is also used to characterize the frequency response of various signal processing systems – magnetic tapes, radio transmitters and receivers, record cutting and replay equipment, and digital filters – which can be modeled or approximated by first-order LTI systems. Other examples include time constant used in control systems for integral and derivative action controllers, which are often pneumatic, rather than electrical. Time constants are a feature of the lumped system analysis (lumped capacity analysis method) for thermal systems, used when objects cool or warm uniformly under the influence of convective cooling or warming. [ 3]Physically, the time constant represents the elapsed time required for the system response to decay to zero if the system had continued to decay at the initial rate, because of the progressive change in the rate of decay the response will have actually decreased in value to in this time (say from a step decrease). In an increasing system, the time constant is the time for the system's step response to reach of its final (asymptotic) value (say from a step increase). In radioactive decay the time constant is called the decay constant ( λ ), and it represents both the mean lifetime of a decaying system (such as an atom) before it decays, or the time it takes for all but 36.8% of the atoms to decay." }, { "docid": "D1025268#0", "title": "http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Russia/United-States/Economy\nCountry vs country: Russia and United States compared: Economy stats", "text": "\"Country vs country: Russia and United States compared: Economy stats Home Country Info Compare Russia vs. United States Economy Author: Edsel.

Milk turns sour much more rapidly if stored at room temperature rather than in a refrigerator; butter goes rancid more quickly in the summer than in the winter; and eggs hard-boil more quickly at sea level than in the mountains. For the same reason, cold-blooded animals such as reptiles and insects tend to be more lethargic on cold days. The reason for this is not hard to understand. Thermal energy relates direction to motion at the molecular level. As the temperature rises, molecules move faster and collide more vigorously, greatly increasing the likelihood of bond cleavages and rearrangements. Whether it is through the collision theory, transition state theory, or just common sense, chemical reactions are typically expected to proceed faster at higher temperatures and slower at lower temperatures. By 1890 it was common knowledge that higher temperatures speed up reactions, often doubling the rate for a 10-degree rise, but the reasons for this were not clear. Finally, in 1899, the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) combined the concepts of activation energy and the Boltzmann distribution law into one of the most important relationships in physical chemistry: Take a moment to focus on the meaning of this equation, neglecting the A factor for the time being. First, note that this is another form of the exponential decay law discussed in the previous section of this series." }, { "docid": "D2733998#0", "title": "https://wahiduddin.net/calc/density_altitude.htm\nAn Introduction to Air Density and Density Altitude Calculations", "text": "\"An Introduction to Air Density and Density Altitude Calculationsupdated: 14 Jan 2016 copyright 1998 - 2016 Richard Shelquist Density Altitude On-Line Calculators: For your convenience, the following density altitude calculators are available for use on this web site:- Density Altitude Calculator, using dew point - Density Altitude Calculator, using relative humidity What is density altitude? Density altitude is defined as the altitude at which the density of the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is the same as the density of the air being evaluated. ( The Standard Atmosphere is simply a mathematical model of the atmosphere which is standardized so that predictable calculations can be made. ) So, the basic idea of calculating density altitude is to calculate the actual density of the air, and then find the altitude at which that same air density occurs in the International Standard Atmosphere. In the following paragraphs, we'll go step by step through the process of calculating the actual density of the air, and then determining the corresponding density altitude. And finally, at the end of this article, we'll compare the accurate density altitude calculations with the results of a greatly simplified density altitude equation which ignores the effects due to water vapor in the air. Some different meanings of the word \"\"altitude\"\": As odd as it may seem, an aircraft altimeter does not actually know anything about altitude, it only measures pressure. For pilots, it is very important to understand that an aircraft altimeter only measures air pressure (not true altitude). This point is especially important to understand with the ever-increasing use of GPS. An aircraft flying at a specific pressure altitude (as indicated by an altimeter set to 29.92 in-Hg) may note some significantly different altitude displayed on a GPS (which measures actual distance above mean sea level)." }, { "docid": "D843497#0", "title": "http://www.slideshare.net/elmochem/ap-chemistry-study-guide-kinetics\nAP Chemistry Study Guide- Kinetics", "text": "\"AP Chemistry Study Guide- Kinetics82,748 views Share Like...

STUDY GUIDE— AP Chemistry CHAPTER 14- Chemical Kinetics 14.1 Factors that Affect Reaction Rates •Chemical kinetics is the study of how fast chemical reactions occur. •There are several important factors which affect rates of reactions: •physical state of the reactants, •concentration of the reactants, •temperature of the reaction, and •presence or absence of a catalyst. •The goal is to understand chemical reactions at the molecular level. 14.2 Reaction Rates •The speed of a reaction is defined as the change that occurs per unit time. •It is often determined by measuring the change in concentration of a reactant or product with time. •The speed of the chemical reaction is its reaction rate. •For a reaction A B: change in the concentration of B Average rate with respect to B = change in time •Here the change in the concentration of B is defined as: Δ (concentration of B) = (concentration of B at final time) − (concentration of B at initial time) •Illustrate this with an example: •Suppose A reacts to form B. Let us begin with 1.00 M A. •At t = 0 (time zero) there is 1.00 M A and no B present. •At t = 20 sec, there is 0.54 M A and 0.46 M B. •At t = 40 sec, there is 0.30 M A and 0.70 M B. •We can use this information to find the average rate with respect to B: \"\" (Conc B) (Conc of B at t = 20 s ) !

For a given set of reaction conditions, the equilibrium constant is independent of the initial analytical concentrations of the reactant and product species in the mixture. Thus, given the initial composition of a system, known equilibrium constant values can be used to determine the composition of the system at equilibrium. However, reaction parameters like temperature, solvent, and ionic strength may all influence the value of the equilibrium constant. A knowledge of equilibrium constants is essential for the understanding of many chemical systems, as well as biochemical processes such as oxygen transport by hemoglobin in blood and acid-base homeostasis in the human body. Stability constants, formation constants, binding constants, association constants and dissociation constants are all types of equilibrium constants.

For example, dough rises faster at room temperature than when refrigerated, and plants grow more rapidly in warm weather than in cold. We can literally see the effect of temperature on reaction rate by observing a chemiluminescent reaction, one that produces light. The characteristic glow of fireflies is our most common example of such a reaction. Another familiar example is the light produced by the popular Cyalume ® light sticks, which contain chemicals that produce chemiluminescence when mixed. As seen in Figure 14.11, these light sticks produce a brighter light at higher temperature. The amount of light produced is greater because the rate of the reaction is faster at the higher temperature. Although the light stick glows more brightly initially, its luminescence also dies out more rapidly. How is this experimental observation of faster reaction at higher temperatures reflected in the rate expression? The faster rate at higher temperature is due to an increase in the rate constant with increasing temperature." }, { "docid": "D470784#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_charge\nElementary charge", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Elementary electric charge Definition: Charge of a proton Symbol e or sometimes q Value in coulombs: 1.602 176 6208 (98) × 10 −19C [1]The elementary charge, usually denoted as e or sometimes q, is the electric charge carried by a single proton, or equivalently, the magnitude of the electric charge carried by a single electron, which has charge − e.

OVERVIEW Viscosity is a principal parameter when any flow measurements of fluids, such as liquids, semi-solids, gases and even solids are made. Brookfield deals with liquids and semi-solids. Viscosity measurements are made in conjunction with product quality and efficiency. Anyone involved with flow characterization, in research or development, quality control or fluid transfer, at one time or another gets involved with some type of viscosity measurement. Many manufacturers now regard viscometers as a crucial part of their research, development, and process control programs. They know that viscosity measurements are often the quickest, most accurate and most reliable way to analyze some of the most important factors affecting product performance. Rheological relationships help us to understand the fluids we are working with so that we can either know how they are behaving or force them to behave according to our needs. There are many different techniques for measuring viscosity, each suitable to specific circumstances and materials.

Equally fundamental is the law of conservation of energy. Although energy can change in form, it can not be created or destroyed. These two laws of physics provide the basis for two tools which are used routinely in environmental engineering and science---the mass balance and the energy balance. This portion of the course deals with these tools. Mass balances are developed and applied in some detail in the following section, after which the concept of the energy balance is presented and applied. Mass Balance This principle of conservation of mass is extremely useful. It means that if the amount of a pollutant somewhere (say, in a lake) increases, then that increase cannot be the result of some ``magical'' formation out of nowhere. The pollutant must have been either carried into the lake from elsewhere or produced via chemical reaction from other compounds that were already in the lake. And, if chemical reactions produced the mass increase in our pollutant, they must also have caused a corresponding decrease in the mass of some other compounds." }, { "docid": "D875647#0", "title": "http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/~cchieh/cact/c123/coneffec.html\nConcentration and Chemical Reaction Rate", "text": "CAc T Home Page Concentration and Chemical Reaction Rate Skills to develop Explain chemical reaction rates Explain the concentration effects on reaction rate Define the order of a reaction with respect to a reactant Define the overall order of a chemical reaction Define the rate constant of a chemical reaction Determine the order of a reaction by experiment Concentration and Chemical Reaction Rate In the introduction to chemical kinetics , we have already defined chemical reaction rates. Rates of chemical reactions depend on the nature of the reactants, the temperature, the presence of a catalyst, and concentration. This page discusses how the concentration affect the chemical reaction rates. Concentration effect is important because chemical reactions are usually carried out in solutions. Chemical Reaction Rates The reaction rates of chemical reactions are the amounts of a reactant reacted or the amount of a product formed per unit time, (moles per second). Often, the amount can be expressed in terms of concentrations.amount reacted or produced Rate = --------------- units: g/s, mol/s, or %/s time interval At certain conditions, the rates are functions of concentrations. Depending on the time interval between measurements, the rates are called average rate: rate measured between long time interval instantaneous rate: rate measured between very short interval initial rate: instantaneous rate at the beginning of an experiment However, a more realistic representation for a reaction rate is the change in concentration per unit time, either the decrease of concentration per unit time of a reactant or the increase of concentration per unit time of a product. In this case, the rate is expressed in Mol/ (L sec).concentration change of a reactant or product Rate = ----------------------- units: g/ (M s), M/s, ppm/s etc time interval Measuring Reaction Rate To measure a reaction rate, we usually monitor either a product or a reactant for its change. Any physical characteristic related to the quantity or concentration of a product or reactant can be monitored. Some of the characteristics to be monitored are: change in pressure, change in color (spectroscopic measurement), temperature for exothermic or endothermic reaction, and presence of certain key substance,The change can be plotted on a graph, and from the graph, we can get the average rate or the instantaneous rate by either graphical method or using computer for the data analysis." } ]

However, if you are not properly informed about, and prepared for, the saliva (swab) drug test, you might easily fail it. There are two facts you need to take into consideration if you want to pass your saliva drug test. These are: One: Marijuana can be detected in saliva tests up to 24 hours after your last joint. So, if your last joint was more than 24 hours before your saliva drug test, you most likely will pass. If you abstain from marijuana for at least 48 hours before your test, you have a ‘ very high chance’ of passing.

Private drug and alcohol detox centres are massively superior to their state-run counterparts, though. Below are just some of the reasons why opting for a drug and alcohol recovery program in a private clinic is the best option. First, better funding is afforded to the private sector because they are not under the jurisdiction of government funding policy. They run off the backs of stable streams of income which does not increase and decrease rapidly in quick succession. Alcohol and drug rehab in Bradford is better under this system as the best treatments, equipment and staff are afforded patients in need. They are not going to have their services cut out from under them at any time. Another reason private drug and alcohol help in Bradford is the best option is because nobody is left behind. It doesn’t matter what type of addiction is present, everybody has a place within these drug and alcohol rehab facilities. The state system differs since it often won’t allow people in for treatment unless they have an addiction to the harder drugs like heroin and cocaine." }, { "docid": "D2368321#0", "title": "http://detoxmarijuanafast.com/how-to-pass-a-saliva-drug-test-for-marijuana-2-facts-you-need-to-know\nHow to Pass a Saliva Drug Test for Marijuana â 2 Facts You Need to Know!", "text": "How to Pass a Saliva Drug Test for Marijuana – 2 Facts You Need to Know!January 13, 2018 by Detox John 288 Comments‘How to pass a saliva drug test for marijuana?’ is one of the most popular questions we have received from users on our website. Luckily compared to urine and hair drug test s, the saliva drug test for marijuana is the easiest drug test to pass. However, if you are not properly informed about, and prepared for, the saliva (swab) drug test, you might easily fail it. There are two facts you need to take into consideration if you want to pass your saliva drug test. These are: One: Marijuana can be detected in saliva tests up to 24 hours after your last joint. So, if your last joint was more than 24 hours before your saliva drug test, you most likely will pass. If you abstain from marijuana for at least 48 hours before your test, you have a ‘ very high chance’ of passing. Moreover, you need to brush your teeth and gums thoroughly and use a mouthwash like Listerine several times in order to get rid of any trace of marijuana. If you want make sure your saliva is “clean”, you should take a saliva oral liquid screening kit test at home." }, { "docid": "D76794#0", "title": "https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/klonopin-addiction/withdrawal-detox/\nKlonopin Withdrawal and Detox", "text": "Klonopin Withdrawal and Detox Klonopin Withdrawal Hotline24/7, Toll-Free, Confidential844-207-6576Any time a person becomes physically dependent on a drug, they may experience withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms occur when the body becomes reliant on a substance for normal operation and then the discontinuation or a reduction in dosage creates physical discomfort as the body readjusts to life without the substance. Klonopin, the brand name for clonazepam, can significantly affect the central nervous system. When people no longer take Klonopin as prescribed, and begin misusing the drug, the body often reacts negatively and will attempt to detox itself which will lead to withdrawal symptoms occurring. If someone is misusing Klonopin, or they stopped misusing the drug and are now experiencing withdrawal symptoms, know that withdrawal and detox are first steps in the recovery process. Because these withdrawal symptoms can be extremely uncomfortable the can create doubt about about starting a rehabilitation program. Ultimately though, it’s best to seek professional help to deal with the detoxification process and the symptoms that come along with withdrawal. Table of Contents1. What is Klonopin Withdrawal?2.

Some of you may have never even heard the name, while others may know all about it or have tried it themselves. On this page I aim to shed some light on this method, including things such as what the Certo drug test method is, how it works and effectiveness, what you need for it and instructions on how to do it. [ hr]What is the Certo/Sure Gel detox method? The Certo drug test method is a urine (and blood) drug test detox method where fruit pectin is used as the “primary ingredient” to pass your drug test. Certo is the brand name of a type of fruit pectin commonly used for this method, hence the name. Certo is used to make jam, jelly and more. The second most common fruit pectin used for this method is that of the Sure Jell brand (often referred to as Sure Gel). I noticed though that both Certo and Sure Jell are manufactured by Sure Jell, which can be a bit confusing, but since both work just as well it’s no big issue. This detox method has actually been around for ages, but as with any method it only started getting a lot of traction once there was enough different people who have claimed success with it ( here it’s mentioned in the forums at Marijuana.com from 2004 )." }, { "docid": "D2792832#0", "title": "http://thcclean.net/how-to-pass-a-urine-drug-test/\nHow To Pass A Urine Drug Test Fast For Weed (2 Most Effective Ways)", "text": "How To Pass A Urine Drug Test Fast For Weed (2 Most Effective Ways)220 Comments / Drug Test Guides / By Sophie Ah.

They might believe that entering a hospital setting or a treatment facility means giving up control and that going through the process alone will be safer and easier to handle. Unfortunately, this white-knuckle, cold-turkey approach is rarely effective. People who go through detox may endure physical pain as well as life-threatening side effects, and they may also have serious cravings for drugs. All of these factors put together could make the detox process less than successful. In fact, people who go through detox alone might have major complications to endure, and those complications might pop them right back into a drug-using habit. Entering a formal detoxification program for addiction might be a much safer, and much more effective, choice for people who need to overcome an addiction. At The Oaks, they’ll get the help they’ll need to give the best chance that the process moves forward and results in sobriety instead of relapse.

It is widely abused as \"\"syrup\"\" or \"\"purple drank\"\" and the codeine in this cough syrup is very addictive. Although less potent than heroin, codeine belongs to the same class of drugs (the opiates) as heroin, and produces a strong addiction and a syndrome of withdrawal that is quite similar to a heroin or oxycontin withdrawal. Once addicted to codeine and promethazine, users will need to drink the syrup daily or more, to avoid feeling the pains of withdrawal. What Does Codeine with Promethazine Do to the Brain? Codeine enters the brain and stimulates certain receptors that make us feel very good. If you abuse codeine with regularity, the brain gets used to this easy stimulation, and will reduce the number of these \"\"feel good\"\" receptors. When this happens, you will need to take more codeine to feel the same effects that a smaller dose once induced, and when you don’t take any codeine, you will feel worse than normal. Once your brain has adjusted to your regular use of codeine, you are physically addicted to the drug, and will feel withdrawal pains when you don’t have it in your body. The \"\"feel good\"\" receptors that codeine stimulates are also responsible for pain regulation, and this is why the withdrawal can be so unpleasant." } ]

It is one of the defining characteristics of mammals and the source of the term Mammalia, given by Carolus Linnaeus. Milk is a rich substance composed of proteins, lipids, sugars, and water. It provides the primary source of nutrition for newborns before they are able to digest more diverse foods, and frees the mother from the necessity of providing a more specialized environment to rear the young. The provision of milk also allows birth to occur at an early stage of development. The presence of mammary glands and production of milk provides a period of intense maternal interaction with the newborn during early behavioral development. Among primates, human mothers spend more time with their infants than any other species. In general, a gland is a group of cells or an organ that produces a secretion for use elsewhere in the body, in a body cavity, or for elimination from the body.

All exocrine glands (and also most endocrine glands), are composed of epithelial tissue. Although most glands give the appearance of being \"\"solid\"\" tissue, their epithelial nature is expressed by the organization of secretory cells into tubules, acini, or cords. Every exocrine secretory cell has some portion of its plasma membrane exposed to an external surface, communicating with the outside of the body by a system of ducts.

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

All exocrine glands (and also most endocrine glands), are composed of epithelial tissue . Even the lung and the kidney, although not properly glands, have a glandular pattern of tissue organization. Although most glands give the appearance of being \"\"solid\"\" tissue, their epithelial nature is expressed by the organization of their cells, with each cell attached laterally to its neighbors. Every exocrine secretory cell has some portion of its plasma membrane exposed to an external surface, communicating with the outside of the body by a system of ducts. In most glands, the secretory cells are organized into secretory units, which are described according to their shape as tubules, acini, or cords. In the diagrams here and below, secretory units are colored orange and ducts are colored blue.

The products of glands are aqueous fluids that usually contain proteins. Secretion Secretion is the process whereby gland cells obtain needed substances from the blood and transform them chemically into a product that is discharged from the cell. The protein product is made in the rough ER, then packaged into secretory granules by the Golgi apparatus and released by the cell through exocytosis. Classification of Glands Glands are classified as endocrine (internal seceretion) or exocrine (external secretion) depending on where they release their product and unicellular or multicellular based on the number of cells in the gland. Unicellular glands are scattered throughout epithelial sheets, whereas most multicellular glands develop by invagination of an epithelial sheet into the underlying connective tissue. Endocrine Glands Endocrine glands lack ducts - they are often referred to as \"\"ductless glands.\"\" Endocrine glands secrete directly into the tissue fluid that surrounds them. The product of endocrine glands are hormones, which they release into the extracellular space.

The term federalism is also used to describe a system of the government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units (like states or provinces). Federalism is a system in which the power to govern is shared between national and provincial (state) governments, creating what is often called a federation. Proponents are often called federalists. Meaning Slide 4: TYPES OF FEDERALISM Dual federalism Cooperative federalism Creative federalism New federalism Slide 5: Dual federalism, a legal theory which has prevailed in the United States since 1789, is the belief that the United States consists of two separate and co-sovereign branches of government. This form of government works on the principle that the national and state governments are split into their own spheres, and each is supreme within its respective sphere. Specifically, dual federalism discusses the relationship between the national government and the states' governments. According to this theory, there are certain limits placed on the federal government. These limits are: 1. National government rules by rules only." } ]

In a unitary state, sub-national units are created and abolished (an example being the 22 mainland regions of France being merged into 13), and their powers may be broadened and narrowed, by the central government.

In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states, as well as the division of power between them and the central government, is typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of either party, the states or the federal political body. Alternatively, federation is a form of government in which sovereign power is formally divided between a central authority and a number of constituent regions so that each region retains some degree of control over its internal affairs. [ 1] [2]The governmental or constitutional structure found in a federation is considered to be federalist, or to be an example of federalism. It can be considered the opposite of another system, the unitary state. France, for example, has been unitary for multiple centuries. Austria and its Bundesländer was a unitary state with administrative divisions that became federated through the implementation of the Austrian Constitution following the 1918 collapse of Austria-Hungary." }, { "docid": "D1524347#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendums_by_country\nReferendums by country", "text": "\"Referendums by country From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A referendum (in some countries synonymous with plebiscite, or a vote on a ballot question) is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal.

[ 1] The term derives from the Greekaristokratia, meaning \"\"rule of the best\"\". [ 2]The term is synonymous with hereditary government, and hereditary succession is its primary philosophy, after which the hereditary monarch appoints officers as they see fit. At the time of the word's origins in ancient Greece, the Greeks conceived it as rule by the best qualified citizens—and often contrasted it favourably with monarchy, rule by an individual. In later times, aristocracy was usually seen as rule by a privileged group, the aristocratic class, and has since been contrasted with democracy.

Normally, that entity is an individual, the despot, as in an autocracy, but societies which limit respect and power to specific groups have also been called despotic. [ 1]Colloquially, the word despot applies pejoratively to those who abuse their power and authority to oppress their populace, subjects, or subordinates. More specifically, the term often applies to a head of state or government. In this sense, it is similar to the pejorative connotations that are associated with the terms tyrant and dictator. [ 2]Contents [ hide ]1 Etymology2 Ancient Greece and Oriental despotism3 History4 Contrast with absolute monarchy5 References Etymology [ edit]The English dictionary defines despotism as \"\"the rule of a despot; the exercise of absolute authority.\"\" [ 3]The root despot comes from the Greek word despotes, which means \"\"master\"\" or \"\"one with power.\"\" The term has been used to describe many rulers and governments throughout history. It connoted the absolute authority and power exercised by the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, signified nobility in Byzantine courts, designated the rulers of Byzantine vassal states, and acted as a title for Byzantine Emperors. In this and other Greek or Greek influenced contexts, the term was used as an honorific rather than as a pejorative." }, { "docid": "D886580#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/2802150/chapter-4-federalism-flash-cards/\nChapter 4: Federalism", "text": "\"56 terms blairbear Chapter 4: Federalism Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Learning Objectives Analyze the key historical documents and political theorists that shaped the contours of the Constitution Key Takeaways Key Points The Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787 by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was ratified by conventions in 11 states. It went into effect on March 4, 1789. The first 10 constitutional amendments ratified by three-fourths of the states in 1791 are known as the Bill of Rights. The Constitution has been amended 17 additional times – for a total of 27 amendments – and its principles are applied in courts of law by judicial review. The due process clause of the Constitution was partly based on common law and on Magna Carta (1215), which had become a foundation of English liberty against arbitrary power wielded by a tyrant. The philosophers John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and Monstesquieu substantially influenced the underlying principles embodied by the Constitution, such as the notion that the government ‘s duty under a social contract among the sovereign people is to serve them by protecting their natural rights. There is a viewpoint that some Americans have come to see the documents of the Constitution, along with the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, as being a cornerstone of a type of civic religion.

This is the same thing as a federal government which may have distinct powers at various levels authorized or delegated to it by its member states, though the adjective 'central' is sometimes used to describe it. [ 1] The structure of central governments varies. Many countries have created autonomous regions by delegating powers from the central government to governments at a subnational level, such as a regional, state or local level. Based on a broad definition of a basic political system, there are two or more levels of government that exist within an established territory and govern through common institutions with overlapping or shared powers as prescribed by a constitution or other law. Usual responsibilities of this level of government which are not granted to lower levels are maintaining national security and exercising international diplomacy, including the right to sign binding treaties. Basically, the central government has the power to make laws for the whole country, in contrast with local governments. For definition of levels of government see also general government (in economics). Generally, the difference between a central government and a federal government is that the autonomous status of self-governing regions exists by the sufferance of the central government and are often created through a process of devolution. As such they may be unilaterally revoked with a simple change in the law." }, { "docid": "D2226187#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Scotland\nPolitics of Scotland", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Scotland This article is part of a series on thepolitics and government of Scotland Government Parliament Law Scotland in the UKScotland in the EUAdministrative divisions Other countries Atlasv t e Scotland is a country which is part of the United Kingdom.

Scotland entered into a political union with England in 1707, and since then has sent representatives to the Palace of Westminster, which became the British parliament. Currently, 59 Members of Parliament (MPs) represent Scottish constituencies at Westminster, and issues such as the constitution, foreign affairs, defence, social security, pensions, issues of medical ethics, and fiscal, economic and monetary policy are decided on a nationwide UK level. In 1999, a 129-member Scottish Parliament was established in Edinburgh; it has full power to make law in Scotland, except in reserved matters. In the UK government, Scottish affairs are represented by the Secretary of State for Scotland, currently David Mundell MP. The Scottish Government is headed by a First Minister, who is the leader of the political party with the most support in the Scottish Parliament, currently Nicola Sturgeon MSP. The head of state in Scotland is the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II (since 1952).

PURPOSEThe objective of this introductory chapter is to explain the importance of agricultural services, the role that governments had assumed in their provision and the perceived need in the 1980s for institutional reform including a reduced role for central government in service provision. Decentralization is defined and the potential links between decentralization, improved governance and increased efficiency of service delivery discussed. The chapter examines the various forms that decentralization can take, namely, deconcentration, delegation, devolution, partnerships and privatization and concludes with a discussion of the potential benefits of decentralization and the challenge and risks of diversity. KEY POINTSAgricultural services are extremely heterogeneous but include all non-tangible, non-storable items provided to agricultural producers to increase their productivity. In the post-independence era, central governments assumed a dominant or monopolistic role in the provision of agricultural services. Inefficiency and changing economic and political conditions in the 1980s led to calls for radical institutional reform and the decentralization of responsibilities, including agricultural service provision, from central government to other levels of governance in the public, private and voluntary sectors. The main forms of decentralization are deconcentration, delegation, devolution, partnerships with Civil Society Organizations (CSO) and privatization. Decentralization may assist in achieving good governance, improve service delivery and lead to political democratization.1.1 Introduction1.1.1 The range and importance of agricultural services The wide range of agricultural services Although this Sourcebook is concerned with the decentralization of agricultural services, we have to start by admitting that it is difficult to give a precise definition of ‘services’. They are extraordinarily heterogeneous [1] and there is no clear boundary to demarcate ‘goods’ from ‘services’." }, { "docid": "D1490204#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/3072275/ap-us-gov-ch-3-federalism-flash-cards/\nAP US GOV CH 3 Federalism", "text": "\"18 terms hkug93AP US GOV CH 3 Federalism Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

It is a form of administrative decentralization. Devolved territories have the power to make legislation relevant to the area. Devolution differs from federalism in that the devolved powers of the subnational authority may be temporary and are reversible, ultimately residing with the central government.

[ 1]In the game, players complete levels by swapping coloured pieces of candy on a game board to make a match of three or more of the same color, eliminating those candies from the board and replacing them with new ones, which could potentially create further matches. Matches of four or more candies create unique candies that act as power-ups with larger board-clearing abilities. Boards have various goals that must be completed within a fixed number of moves or limited amount of time, such as a certain score or collecting a specific number of a type of candy.

At least two of these personalities are considered to routinely take control of the individual's behavior, and there is also some associated memory loss, which is beyond normal forgetfulness. This memory loss is often referred to as \"\"losing time\"\". These symptoms must occur independently of substance abuse or a general medical condition. Description Edit Dissociative identity disorder was initially named multiple personality disorder, and, as referenced above, that name remains in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. While dissociation is a demonstrable psychiatric condition that is tied to several different disorders, specifically those involving early childhood trauma and anxiety, multiple personality remains controversial. Criticisms Edit The problem is perhaps not multiple personalities, but rather a loss of identification with the individual recognizable personality. This results in tendancies to switch personalities with a much weaker conscious control, and sometimes with the conscious mind oblivious to the switching. The interpretation from the external view is a multiple persona, but internally the individual may not notice or understand the phenomena is occuring. Despite the controversy, some mental health institutes have wards specifically designated for dissociative identity disorder." } ]

This article has information on four dissociative disorders and what symptoms are associated with each disorder. We also include treatment options for dissociative disorders. Dissociative disorders is a category in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) that includes four specific disorders and a category for dissociative disorder NOS (not otherwise specified). The four disorders are called Dissociative Amnesia, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Dissociative Fugue, and Depersonalization Disorder in the DSM-IV-TR. As none of these names is illuminating, let's look at what dissociative means and how each of the separate disorders is characterized. What Does Dissociative Mean? Dissociation refers to the psychological coping mechanism of separating thoughts, feelings, or body sensations that create anxiety from the rest of a person's psyche. Usually experiences, good and bad, are integrated into a person's history and personality, but when something so psychologically traumatic happens that a person cannot integrate it, the person may dissociate him- or herself from the memory and feelings. This is not a conscious choice, and the dissociated material is not easily accessible to the conscious mind." }, { "docid": "D1326040#0", "title": "http://daydreamobscura.blogspot.com/2013/05/otherkin-multiple-systems-and-mental.html\nOtherkin, Multiple Systems, and Mental Illness", "text": "\"Otherkin, Multiple Systems, and Mental Illness In our journey to catalogue and observe the various flora and fauna of Tumblr here at Ti A, one often comes across characters whose behavior and ideas seem to indicate a level of mental instability, if not outright mental illness.

It is not the mission here to make fun of people with debilitating mental disorders, or make light of those with serious problems. Fortunately, the two Tumblr species that most resemble popular media’s versions of abnormal psychology are happily free of anything but an overabundance of creativity and imagination, and usually only suffer from a tendency to get overly wrapped up in the mythology of their social circles. Why should you care what I say? ( Who the hell are you anyways? ) I have a BS in Psychology from a science-oriented university. As part of my degree process I worked on several projects with a researcher who is still at the forefront of the intersection of psychology and law, particularly jury behavior, eyewitness memory, and the use of psychological defenses at trial.

Chronic depersonalization refers to depersonalization-derealization disorder, which is classified by the DSM-5 as a dissociative disorder. [ 2]Though degrees of depersonalization and derealization can happen to anyone who is subject to temporary anxiety or stress, chronic depersonalization is more related to individuals who have experienced a severe trauma or prolonged stress/anxiety. Depersonalization-derealization is the single most important symptom in the spectrum of dissociative disorders, including dissociative identity disorder and \"\" dissociative disorder not otherwise specified \"\" (DD-NOS).

Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures are episodes of movement, sensation, or behaviors that are similar to epileptic seizures but do not have a neurologic origin; rather, they are somatic manifestations of psychologic distress. Patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures frequently are misdiagnosed and treated for epilepsy. Video-electroencephalography monitoring is preferred for diagnosis. From 5 to 10 percent of outpatient epilepsy patients and 20 to 40 percent of inpatient epilepsy patients have psychogenic nonepileptic seizures. These patients inevitably have comorbid psychiatric illnesses, most commonly depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, other dissociative and somatoform disorders, and personality pathology, especially borderline personality type.

Conversion disorder Specialty Psychiatry Causes Stress Treatment to comfort Deaths 0 [ edit on Wikidata]Conversion disorder ( CD) is a diagnostic category used in some psychiatric classification systems. It is sometimes applied to patients who present with neurological symptoms, such as numbness, blindness, paralysis, or fits, which are not consistent with a well-established organic cause, which cause significant distress, and can be traced back to a psychological trigger. It is thought that these symptoms arise in response to stressful situations affecting a patient's mental health or an ongoing mental health condition such as depression. Conversion disorder was retained in DSM-5, but given the subtitle functional neurological symptom disorder. The new criteria cover the same range of symptoms, but remove the requirements for a psychological stressor to be present and for feigning to be disproved. The theory of conversion disorder stems from ancient Egypt, and was formerly known as \"\" hysteria \"\". The concept of conversion disorder came to prominence at the end of the 19th century, when the neurologists Jean-Martin Charcot and Sigmund Freud and psychologist Pierre Janet focused their studies on the subject. Before their studies, people with hysteria were often believed to be malingering.

Hudson Alpha Institute for Biotechnology Mental disorders, in particular their consequences and their treatment, are of more concern and receive more attention now than in the past. Mental disorders have become a more prominent subject of attention for several reasons. They have always been common, but, with the eradication or successful treatment of many of the serious physical illnesses that formerly afflicted humans, mental illness has become a more noticeable cause of suffering and accounts for a higher proportion of those disabled by disease. Moreover, the public has come to expect the medical and mental health professions to help it obtain an improved quality of life in its mental as well as physical functioning. And indeed, there has been a proliferation of both pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments. The transfer of many psychiatric patients, some still showing conspicuous symptoms, from mental hospitals into the community has also increased the public’s awareness of the importance and prevalence of mental illness. There is no simple definition of mental disorder that is universally satisfactory. This is partly because mental states or behaviour that are viewed as abnormal in one culture may be regarded as normal or acceptable in another, and in any case it is difficult to draw a line clearly demarcating healthy from abnormal mental functioning.

[ 2] More recently, \"\"dissociative amnesia\"\" has been defined as a dissociative disorder \"\"characterized by retrospectively reported memory gaps. These gaps involve an inability to recall personal information, usually of a traumatic or stressful nature.\"\" [ 1] In a change from the DSM-IV to the DSM-5, dissociative fugue is now subsumed under dissociative amnesia. [ 3]The atypical clinical syndrome of the memory disorder (as opposed to organic amnesia) is that a person with psychogenic amnesia is profoundly unable to remember personal information about themselves; there is a lack of conscious self-knowledge which affects even simple self-knowledge, such as who they are. [ 4] Psychogenic amnesia is distinguished from organic amnesia in that it is supposed to result from a nonorganic cause; no structural brain damage or brain lesion should be evident but some form of psychological stress should precipitate the amnesia, [5] however psychogenic amnesia as a memory disorder is controversial. [ 6]Contents [ hide ]1 Definition2 Cause2.1 Comparison with organic amnesia3 Diagnosis4 Treatments5 Popular culture6 See also7 References8 External links Definition [ edit]Psychogenic amnesia is defined by the presence of retrograde amnesia (the inability to retrieve stored memories leading up to the onset of amnesia), and an absence of anterograde amnesia (the inability to form new long term memories). [ 7] [8] [9] Access to episodic memory can be impeded, [2] while the degree of impairment to short term memory, semantic memory and procedural memory is thought to vary among cases. [ 4] If other memory processes are affected, they are usually much less severely affected than retrograde autobiographical memory, which is taken as the hallmark of psychogenic amnesia. [ 4] However the wide variability of memory impairment among cases of psychogenic amnesia raises questions as to its true neuropsychological criteria, as despite intense study of a wide range of cases there is little consensus of which memory deficits are specific to psychogenic amnesia.

Conversion disorder Specialty Psychiatry Causes Stress Treatment to comfort Deaths 0Conversion disorder ( CD) is a diagnostic category used in some psychiatric classification systems. It is sometimes applied to patients who present with neurological symptoms, such as numbness, blindness, paralysis, or fits, which are not consistent with a well-established organic cause, which cause significant distress, and can be traced back to a psychological trigger. It is thought that these symptoms arise in response to stressful situations affecting a patient's mental health or an ongoing mental health condition such as depression. Conversion disorder was retained in DSM-5, but given the subtitle functional neurological symptom disorder. The new criteria cover the same range of symptoms, but remove the requirements for a psychological stressor to be present and for feigning to be disproved. The theory of conversion disorder stems from ancient Egypt, and was formerly known as \"\" hysteria \"\". The concept of conversion disorder came to prominence at the end of the 19th century, when the neurologists Jean-Martin Charcot and Sigmund Freud and psychologist Pierre Janet focused their studies on the subject. Before their studies, people with hysteria were often believed to be malingering.

There are no known biological causes of dissociative identity disorder but DID does tend to run in families. While Putnam et al noted that 97% of patients with dissociative identity disorder reported a history of abuse, part of the controversy of DID, however, is that some clinicians claim that there is not a direct enough association between early-childhood trauma and dissociative identity disorder due to the bias in self-reporting. What Causes Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)? The causes of dissociative identity disorder appear to be complex. People with dissociative identity disorder tend to have personal histories of recurring, overpowering, severe and often life-threatening traumas such as physical or sexual abuse before the age of nine; which is thought to be a key developmental age. The cause of dissociative identity disorder may also be extreme neglect or emotional abuse even if no overt physical or sexual abuse occurred. DID may also be related to a natural disaster, such as war. According to Web MD, findings indicate that parents who are frightening and unpredictable tend to raise children who experience dissociation. Richard Kluft, an expert in dissociative identity disorder, suggests that DID is caused by four factors: Individuals have an innate potential to dissociate that is reflected in the fact that they are easy to hypnotize (have a high hypnotizability rating)." }, { "docid": "D379895#0", "title": "http://www.psychone.net/psychological-disorders-list.php\nPsychological Disorders List - Symptoms and Diagnosis", "text": "\"Psychological Disorders List - Symptoms and Diagnosis This psychological disorders list and directory has been abbreviated from the \"\"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV)\"\".

Introduction Recent debates between differing schools of scientific thought, fueled by the media and by lay organizations with varied political agendas, have left the public confused and misinformed regarding the nature of traumatic memories. This confusion is causing great distress to many people who are survivors of child abuse and those who care about them. The purpose of this brochure is to reach beyond the hype of popular media and the rhetoric of single-purpose organizations to clarify the issues and to discuss the body of knowledge agreed upon by most mental health professionals about traumatic memories and their retrieval. There is strong documentation to prove the high incidence of child abuse in the general population. Sexual abuse of children and adolescents is known to cause severe psychological and emotional consequences. Adults who were sexually abused in childhood are at higher risk for developing a variety of psychiatric disorders, including dissociative disorders (such as dissociative identity disorder/multiple personality disorder), anxiety disorders (panic attacks, etc. ), personality disorders (borderline personality disorder, etc. )," }, { "docid": "D848929#0", "title": "https://www.allaboutcounseling.com/library/dissociative-amnesia/\nDissociative Amnesia", "text": "Dissociative Amnesia Tweet Dissociative Amnesia is a condition that is part of a group called dissociative disorders and occurs when a person has periods of memory loss. It is unlike the typical amnesia we first think of, in that it is not caused by head injury or illness, but instead is a psychological disorder associated with traumatic memories or psychological stress. A person with Dissociative Amnesia can have loss of identity, important personal information, and certain memories, for at least a period of time. Usually, this is a result of overwhelmingly stressful events that have been experienced or witnessed. Symptoms of Dissociative Amnesia: Inability to remember certain memories Inability to remember personal information Unexplained, persistent confusion Anxiety Depressed mood Causes of Dissociative Amnesia While Dissociative Amnesia can run in families, it is usually a result of traumatic events. It is sometimes viewed as an intense symptom of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It works almost like a psychological defense mechanism, blocking out the traumatic memories. The problem is, it disrupts other memories, personal identity and information, and can cause other disorders like anxiety and depression. The causes of Dissociative Amnesia are usually extremely intense, such as memories of war or combat, witnessing brutal crimes, or experiencing abuse and violence in the personal life. These events are so immensely overwhelming that the person’s psychological state is completely disrupted for at least a short period of time." } ]

Car Reviews Renault Pulse Rx Z Petrol 05/11/2015Renault pulse is the best hatchback in the market. I bought it three months ago and not once have I regretted buying it. I drive it to and fro to my factory and home. The distance is close to 40 km a day and I needed a good diesel variant. I test drove i20 and punto before zeroing in on this one. It is a great buy since the engine is powerful, it gives close to 21 kmpl which in itself satisfies me a great deal. The driving and handling experience is pleasant and on the road the car has good presence and doesn’t let you remain behind in the traffic. I loved the comfort it offers and the storage space in the cabin as well as in the boot is ample, as a family car it does well too.

How were they introduced/converted to Islam?3 Answers Mohammed Pithapur, Product Engineer at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (2017-present)Answered Jun 2, 2014I hope i'll be able to deliver a brief insight on this quandary. First of all Dawoodi Bohras essentially have two main sources of coming into existence. The first one is from Yemen, wherein lies the cradle of Islam. The other are those who are found in India and other Southeast Asia countries. I once had a chance to have a conversation with my grandpa regarding the existence of bohra sect. He told me that most of the India Dawoodi Bohras were originally Brahmins (Mostly Nagar Brahmins). They were being baptized into Islam during the reign of Aurangzeb by a few selected leaders who had traveled from Yemen in order to spread the message of Islam. Aurangzeb was keen to convert everyone (including Dawwodi bohras) into Sunnis. He even gave orders for beheading a Patriarch bohra leader & priest in Ahmedabad." }, { "docid": "D1286960#0", "title": "http://www.world-temperature.com/world_weather/asia/1\n.", "text": "Weather -

The areas outside Brihan Mumbai ( Greater Mumbai) and Navi Mumbai have lacked organised development. Navi Mumbai, developed as one of the largest planned cities in the world, was promoted by a Maharashtra Government -owned company, City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO). The region has had problems related to haphazard and illegal development as a result of rapid urbanisation. Villages along the NH3 in Bhiwandi Taluka are examples of haphazard developments in the MMR, with some of the largest warehousing areas in India.

The name derives from the Sanskrit daksina (\"\"south\"\"). The plateau is bounded on the east and west by the Ghats, while its northern extremity is the Satpura Mountain Range. The Deccan's average elevation is about 2,000 feet (600 m), sloping generally eastward; its principal rivers, the Godavari, Krishna, and Cauvery, flow from the Western Ghats eastward to the Bay of Bengal. The plateau's climate is drier than that on the coasts and is arid in places. Although sometimes used to mean all of India south of the Narmada River, the word Deccan relates more specifically to that area of rich volcanic soils and lava-covered plateaus in the northern part of the peninsula between the Narmada and Krishna rivers. Having once constituted a segment of the ancient continent of Gondwanaland, this land is the oldest and most stable in India. The Deccan plateau consists of dry tropical forests that experiences only seasonal rainfall On the western edge of the plateau lie the Sahyadri, the Nilgiri, the Annamalai and the Cardamon Hills, commonly known as Western Ghats. The average height of the Western Ghats, which run along the Arabian Sea, goes on increasing towards the south.

One hemisphere, usually the left, in a right-handed person, is slightly larger than the other and constitutes the dominant hemisphere. Motor control of speech is also confined to the speech area of Broca (corresponding to Brodmann areas 44 and 45) which is usually found only in the dominant hemisphere.

There are 86 main nerves branching off from the CNS – 12 pairs of cranial nerves that branch off from the brain and 31 pairs of spinal nerves that branch off from the spinal cord. The brain, which is housed in and protected by the bones of the skull, makes up all parts of the central nervous system above the spinal cord.

They monitor such things as temperature, light, and sound from the external environment. Inside the body, the internal environment, receptors detect variations in pressure, p H, carbon dioxide concentration, and the levels of various electrolytes. All of this gathered information is called sensory input. Sensory input is converted into electrical signals called nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain. There the signals are brought together to create sensations, to produce thoughts, or to add to memory. Decisions are made each moment based on the sensory input. This is integration. Based on the sensory input and integration, the nervous system responds by sending signals to muscles, causing them to contract, or to glands, causing them to produce secretions." }, { "docid": "D2201558#0", "title": "http://www.slideshare.net/allaine/brain-and-five-senses\nBrain And Five Senses", "text": "Brain And Five Senses118,674 views Share Like Download...000 07, nurse at DOHFollow Published on May 11, 2009Published in: Education, Health & Medicine2 Comments26 Likes Statistics Notes Post Jie Liu@grotle1231 yep!! it's helping me too i thank them VERY much!! : D5 years agogrotle1231i apreciate this it helped on my biology project6 years ago Brain And Five Senses1.

The program seems to come and go from year to year depending on funding, so it’s worth checking each time you have an old car that won’t pass smog. It is active for 2016. They pay $1,000 (or $1,500 if you’re low-income), so if you’re planning to sell the car to a private buyer for less than that, it’s easier to just sell it to the state instead. Here’s a checklist to see if your car qualifies: California Cash for Clunkers Program Sell to a local corporate car buyer: From the Cash for Clunkers website: “If you car is not eligible for the BAR program or you need cash quickly talk to a local California car buyer.

TUTORIAL: Economics Basics Football The Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), also known as Division I in men's basketball, is the highest level of college where the best amateur football players, in the country, are scouted and recruited. This division houses five of the biggest bowl games in the country, including the Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Rose Bowl and the BCS National Championship Game. The National Champion is determined by taking an average ranking, from a number of polls from around the country, and determining which top two teams play for the National Championship.

ESPN reports that 27.3 million viewers watch The BCS National Championship game alone. Even with so many viewers nationwide, 43% of schools in this division generated negative median net revenue of $2.87 million in losses. Many schools that play in college bowl games, end up spending more money, to play the games, than they receive in revenue from their respective conferences.

With current television revenue resulting from NCAA football bowl games and March Madness in basketball, there is now a clamoring for compensating both football and basketball players beyond that of an athletic scholarship. This article takes a point/counterpoint approach to the topic of paying athletes and may have potential implications/consequences for college administrators, athletes, and coaches. Dr. John Acquaviva defends the current system in which colleges provide an athletic scholarship that provides a “free college education” in return for playing on the university team. Dr. Dennis Johnson follows with a counterpoint making the case that athletes in these sports should receive compensation beyond that of a college scholarship and forwards five proposals to pay the athletes. Key words: pay for play, athletic scholarships Introduction: History of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)The idea of paying college athletes to compete dates back to what is considered to be the first intercollegiate competition. In a regatta between Harvard and Yale Universities, Harvard used a coxswain who was not even a student enrolled at the Ivy League school (5).

Certain aspects of the draft, including team positioning and the number of rounds in the draft, have seen revisions since its first creation in 1936, but the fundamental methodology has remained the same. Currently the draft consists of seven rounds. The original rationale in creating the draft was to increase the competitive parity between the teams as the worst team would, ideally, have chosen the best player available. In the early years of the draft, players were chosen based on hearsay, print media, or other rudimentary evidence of a player's ability.

F. L. vs. M. L. B. as a Labor Market: A Freakonomics Quorum November 28, 2007 @ 11:34amby Stephen J. Dubner It’s a widely held perception that the professional athletes who constitute Major League Baseball and the National Football League have different levels of power — i.e., players have more juice in M. L. B., while it’s a team’s ownership that has more power in the N. F. L., often at the expense of individual players. Is this true? We put this question to a handful of insiders: Vince Gennaro, Darren Rovell, Stan Kasten, and Andrew Zimbalist. Here are their responses: Vince Gennaro, sports consultant and author of Diamond Dollars: The Economics of Winning in Baseball: The radically different business models of the “egalitarian” N. F. L. and the “Darwinian” M. L. B. favor different constituents. With less variability in its revenue streams and a salary cap limiting player compensation, the N. F. L. structure tends to favor the owners. Meanwhile, the M. L. B. model leads to more revenue risk, and allows greater leverage and thus greater compensation for players. Pro football teams engage in a “national” business, with national broadcast rights making up the largest portion of their revenue stream. As such, about 80 percent of the nearly $7 billion of the N. F. L.’s annual revenues are divided evenly among all 32 teams. Before the New York Giants or Kansas City Chiefs ever play a game, they’re each entitled to about $150 million in annual revenue. According to a Forbes estimate, all but one N. F. L. team brought in between $182 and $255 million in 2006 (only the Redskins exceeded $300 million)." }, { "docid": "D621398#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_much_does_a_football_player_make_in_a_week\nHow much does a football player make in a week?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Jobs & Education Jobs Salary and Pay Rates How much does a football player make in a week?

In a draft, teams take turns selecting from a pool of eligible players. When a team selects a player, the team receives exclusive rights to sign that player to a contract, and no other team in the league may sign the player. The best-known type of draft is the entry draft, which is used to allocate players who have recently become eligible to play in a league. Depending on the sport, the players may come from college, high school or junior teams or teams in other countries. An entry draft is intended to prevent expensive bidding wars for young talent and to ensure that no one team can sign contracts with all of the best young players and make the league uncompetitive. To encourage parity, teams that do poorly in the previous season usually get to choose first in the postseason draft, sometimes with a \"\"lottery\"\" factor to discourage teams from deliberately losing. Other types of drafts include the expansion draft, in which a new team selects players from other teams in the league; and the dispersal draft, in which a league's surviving teams select players from the roster of a newly defunct franchise. Drafts are usually permitted under anti-trust or restraint of trade laws because they are included in collective bargaining agreements between leagues and labor unions representing players. These agreements generally stipulate that after a certain number of seasons, a player whose contract has expired becomes a free agent and can sign with any team." }, { "docid": "D47689#0", "title": "http://www.unc.edu/%7Eandrewsr/ints092/weikel.html\n.", "text": "\"Sports Marketing: A Take on the History and the Future Colby Weikel INTS 92April 28, 1998Professors Andrews, Didow, and Peacock Brief History and Trends in Sports Marketing Sports marketing is a relatively new field and dimension within the broad concept of marketing.

The NFL and NCAA claim that the NFL age requirement protects young athletes by shielding them from physical injury and requiring them to mature emotionally and receive an education before entering the world of professional sports. In fact, the NFL and NCAA are capitalizing on young athletes’ entertainment value and turning a profit for three years, without compensating the “performers”.

The weekly team cap is $11,200 and the weekly team minimum is $8,200. The league minimum for a player is $340 per week for a rookie and $375 for a veteran player. If a team is operating at the maximum, the average weekly salary would be about $560, working at the minimum it would be around $410. Multiplying that by 30 (estimated number of weeks in the season) for an average salary of $12K to $17K. In addition, they receive health insurance, lodging and other benefits.

What Causes Ordinary Puffy Eyes and Dark Circles Under the Eyes? Ordinary swelling around the eyes means you have an excessive accumulation of fluids, called edema, in surrounding skin tissue. Because the skin around the eyes is the thinnest skin in the body, swelling and discoloration can be quite prominent. But why does fluid accumulate to form puffy eyes in the first place? Puffy eyes generally result from a variety of factors, including: Overconsumption of salt, which causes fluid retention Allergies that can cause inflammation and swelling Sinus problems Dehydration Fatigue and lack of sleep Stress Crying Aging Inherited facial features While the last answer isn't very satisfying, it's true that many people have puffy eyes because this trait simply runs in the family. With aging, eye puffiness can be caused in part when fatty tissue that ordinarily protects the eye inside the bony eye socket begins to push forward and fill in spaces below the eye.

Basic rundown of what we went over in this video: we really don’t like calling this a diet, because it is more of a lifestyle change that we are sticking to, rather than just a quick fix diet to lose weight. The main step we took was cutting majority of carbs out of our diet including white rice, white noodles, and things made with white flour. Simple rule: don’t eat anything white, except for Cauliflower. Note: we sure as hell picked the WRONG country to live in for this kind of a diet.

That is the only way I can account for the fact that my Korean friends can eat SO MANY THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF WHITE RICE AND NOODLES and not gain weight!

It seems to make them more sturdy, and even enhances the flavors. Since I didn’t use any gums in the recipe, the refrigerating over night really helps. We did eat some before refrigerating and they were good, but a little more delicate, and a less intense flavor. You could, however, use a 1/2 tsp xanthan gum, if you tolerate it well. I didn’t use it, as I don’t always tolerate it well." }, { "docid": "D611075#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/314970567682794593/\nExplore Low Calorie Starbucks Drinks and more!", "text": "Low Calorie Starbucks Drinks Starbucks Iced Coffee Low Carb Drinks Coffee Drinks Sugar Free Starbucks Drinks Starbucks Hacks 0 Carb Foods Low Carb Food Low Carb Recipes Make sure to order with No Classic Syrup!

They have large reproductive tracts, long pregnancies, produce large calves that require a long developmental period and reproduce infrequently with the inter-calf interval as long as 5 years. Male Reproductive System Unusual for mammals, the testicles of elephants are located within the body, close to the kidneys. The male’s reproductive tract is about 2 meters long. Male elephants, called bulls, begin producing sperm between 10 and 15 years of age, sometimes even earlier in zoos. In the wild, only the older, larger bulls gain access to the females, however younger breeders are known in zoos. Adult bulls go through periodic episodes of elevated testosterone and heightened aggressive states called musth. Musth bulls can be recognized by the large amounts of thick fluid draining from the temporal glands located just behind the eyes. Many bulls continually dribble urine and show damp patches on their hind legs. Musth bulls show several unique behaviors including: ear-waving to spread the musth scent, a musth rumble (or low frequency vocalization announcing his presence to cycling females), a musth walk with head and ears held high above their shoulders as a visual display to other bulls and aggression towards everything in its path." }, { "docid": "D459848#0", "title": "http://www.vetinfo.com/vets/answers/treatment-for-split-dog-nail\nTreatment for split dog nail?", "text": "\"Treatment for split dog nail? What should we do to treat split toe nail? By: Erika Raines El Segundo, CAReplied on 04/19/2011The usual treatment for a split toe nail is to cut the nail off to the level of the paw and allow it to grow a new nail. This is a very painful procedure and results in large amount of bleeding, so it is not something you should attempt at home. If the nail is not split to the level of the quick, you can cut the nail above the split and below the quick for the same result with little pain and probably no bleeding. However if the nail is split farther up than the quick, your best option is to let your veterinarian treat it. He or she will be able to apply medications to stop the pain and apply compounds to stop the bleeding after the nail has been removed. Sorry, the browser you are using is not currently supported.

He got a local pharmacy to manufacture the beverage in 1984, and they took stakes in his firm, Red Bull Gmb H. And that was the start of it all! Second thing I looked at was the official Red Bull site, where I found the ingredients of the popular drink. Here's what's in the stuff! The first ingredient, and most prominent, is Taurine. Now, on the site, it said that in many cases Taurine is essential to have in the body.

The rut is characterized in males by an increase in testosterone, exaggerated sexual dimorphisms and increased aggression and interest in females. [ 1] The males of the species may mark themselves with mud, undergo physiological changes or perform characteristic displays in order to make themselves more visually appealing to the females. [ 1] [2] Males also use olfaction to entice females to mate using secretions from glands and soaking in their own urine. [ 1] [3] [4]During the rut (known as the rutting period and in domestic sheep management as tupping ), males often rub their antlers or horns on trees or shrubs, fight with each other, wallow in mud or dust, self-anoint and herd estrus females together. These displays make the male conspicuous and aids in mate selection. The rut in many species is triggered by shorter daylengths. For different species, the timing of the rut depends on the length of the gestation period ( pregnancy ), usually occurring so the young are born in the spring. This is shortly after new green growth has appeared thereby providing food for the females, allowing them to provide milk for the young, and when the temperatures are warm enough to reduce the risk of young becoming hypothermic.

To understand how this works, lets talk about a process called osmosis. Water is attracted to things like salts, proteins, and such.

Since it’s just a couple short weeks after Christmas I am guessing that darn near everyone reading this can relate in one way or another. Whether it be that Duck Dynasty t-shirt and Christmas DVD your Mom gave you, or that 2nd crock pot from the in-laws, there is always something you wish you could return if you just had the dang receipt. Well, now you can, as I researched a bunch of popular retailers that will happily take back items without proof of purchase. Costco Because they keep track of all your purchases on your Costco account, they don’t require a receipt to make a return. They will just look up your buying history on their computer and verify the purchase that way. Pretty handy, especially since they allow you to return items at practically any point in the products lifespan. The only exception is electronics which has a 90 day return policy. I have personally returned a Keurig coffee maker without a receipt over a year after I originally purchased it. They took it back with no questions asked." }, { "docid": "D2790348#0", "title": "https://www.consumeraffairs.com/eyeglasses/visionworks.html\n376 Visionworks Consumer Reviews and Complaints", "text": "\"Last updated: April 8, 2018376 Visionworks Consumer Reviews and Complaints Sort: Recent Filter by: Any Donna of Willow Grove, PA Verified Reviewer Original review: April 8, 2018The worse experience ever, signed stating buy one get one.

What is their return policy? The holiday shopping season spans more than a month of the calendar year. It begins with the Black Friday shopping bonanza and gets book-ended by the rush to return everything you didn’t want the day after Christmas. Let’s face facts, there will be a plethora of lines to return items on December 26th, and Walmart may have the longest lines of them all, with the retail giant accounting for more purchases than just about any other holiday stop. If you’re one of the unlucky souls that needs to make a return this holiday season, there are a few things you should know.1.) You don’t need to return everything the day after the holiday. Walmart understands that it is going to be beset with shoppers looking to trade in unwanted or duplicate gifts. As such, it does its best to help spread out the dates required to return items by in order to limit the flow by noting this in their return policy. If you received something with a 15-Day return on it (computers, camera, tablets, and other electronics), you’ll be allowed to return up until January 10th." }, { "docid": "D158900#0", "title": "https://corporateofficehq.com/hobby-lobby-corporate-office/\nHobby Lobby Corporate Office", "text": "Hobby Lobby Corporate Office How would you rate your experience with Hobby Lobby ?

While most of the customers are completely satisfied with the items they have bought, others may need to return all or part of their purchases for various reasons. Customers who prefer to return items directly to their local Walmart branches will need to know what the Walmart customer service hours are in order to successfully complete the transaction. Walmart Return Procedure Before knowing what the Walmart return hours are, customers need to be made aware of the fact that they will require an Easy Returns Receipt before being able to return any items to their local store. Once this is printed, they can gather the item (s) they would like to return and head to the returns desk. The main advantages of using this return method is that customers will receive a refund or be able to perform an exchange immediately in-store and they will not have to pay any shipping charges on their returns – unlike returns that may have to be shipped back to the store.

Many retailers will accept returns provided that the customer has a receipt as a proof of purchase, and that certain other conditions, which depend on the retailer's policies, are met. These may include the merchandise being in a certain condition (usually resellable if not defective ), no more than a certain amount of time having passed since the purchase, and sometimes that identification be provided (though usually only if a receipt is not provided). In some cases, only exchanges or store credit are offered, again usually only without a receipt, or after an initial refund period has passed.

KTVK-TV in Phoenix recently put a handful of area Walmarts to the test (you can watch the video below) to see what would happen when an undercover producer tried returning a mix of seasonal and regular items with a gift receipt. Four different stores, three different results. None of them quite right. Store 1 would not give the customer any refund, insisting that because the original purchaser had paid with a credit card that the refund had to be credited back to that person’s card. Stores 2 and 3 provided a refund of the $10.77 purchase to the gift receipt holder, but did not give her the option of receiving a cash refund.

By Charles Rex Arbogast/AP Photo. After spending much of the millennium flirting with the idea, Donald Trump actually announced on June 16 that he’s going to make a run for the Republican presidential nomination (or, at the very least, spend as much time as he can drawing attention toward himself during the debates). And while that means the 69-year-old will have plenty of time to air his heady political blend of opinion and charisma, it also means that the flamboyant entrepreneur will fall under more financial scrutiny than ever before. ( And, as Trump found out Monday afternoon, after NBC cut ties with the mogul for his much-derided remarks about immigrants in his campaign announcement, there’s plenty of non-financial scrutiny as well. ) While he’s vowed to turn over his records to the Federal Election Commission on time, one of The Donald’s biggest claims—that he’s worth $8.7 billion—has already been called into question. Forbes’s accounting recently put the figure at $4.1 billion. Sure, that means he’s still “really rich”—literally one of the cornerstones of his run—but maybe not as “really rich” as he wants people to believe. Then there are the bankruptcy filings, which have been a leitmotif in public opera that is The Donald’s long, storied business and media career." }, { "docid": "D3160354#0", "title": "http://www.last-name-meanings.com/surnames/McDonald.php\nMcDonald Family Facts", "text": "Mc Donald Last Name Meaning Please visit Ancestry.com for further information about the Mc Donald last name.

First, for those uninterested in politics or network television, there’s his name, its ubiquity both impressive and saturated in culture to a point past laughable parody. It adorns casinos, apartment complexes, innumerable towers, clothing lines and the like, either a sign of ego or protection against amnesia. Then, of course, is his long run as corporate overlord of C-list celebrities grasping for relevance on “Celebrity Apprentice,” barking orders and criticism as he forces them through demeaning tasks that will fill conversation on Monday daytime talk shows and spark condescending snark on any number of blogs. And over the last few months, Trump has gotten political, hanging his name on America’s ultimate ego trip: teasing a presidential run, complete with controversial calls for proof of President Obama’s citizenship, sour faces at criticism and taking a victory lap when his main campaign contention was disproved. None of those things, however, top line his pop culture biography; that foremost note belongs to his unique brand of hair style, the most attention-grabbing aspect of his personality despite being the one detail he does not broadcast to the world. It’s long been a mystery, how Trump manages to create the unique coif that is half combover, half Davy Crockett cap. In an effort to somehow expand his profile, he’s finally revealed his hair care secrets, giving an overview of the long process to Rolling Stone. “OK, what I do is, wash it with Head and Shoulders.

Donald originally created his superheroic identity as a means of secretly seeking revenge against relatives such as Scrooge Mc Duck and Gladstone Gander, but soon found himself fighting other menaces. The character is an Italian invention and, though dominant in stories in which he appears, is very much absent from all others not starring him. Contents [ show]History Original version Born after the approval of the comic-book character Diabolik, the first idea of a superhero based on Donald came to the author Elisa Penna. It was after the then executive director of the \"\"Topolino\"\" comic book Mario Gentilini asked for a \"\" 'superman' version of Mickey Mouse \"\" that the cartoonist Guido Martina instead suggested to make Donald a superhero, taking the original idea by Penna, and revising and perfecting it, thus creating Paperinik (whose name is a combination of \"\"Paperino\"\", the italian name of Donald Duck, and the suffix \"\" -ik \"\" from \"\"Diabolik\"\"). In the French version he was called Fantomiald, in the German version Phantomias, Patomás in the Spanish translations, and the Greek version Phantom Duck (Φάντομ Ντακ), all of them based on the master-criminal Fantômas. In Denmark his adventures have mostly been published in small books called \"\"Jumbobøger\"\", or \"\"Jumbo books\"\" (Due to being several hundred pages long, not for their size). He is known in Denmark as \"\" Stålanden \"\", meaning \"\"The Steel-duck\"\" and in Sweden as \"\" Stål-Kalle \"\", meaning \"\"Steel-Donald\"\".

For example, knowing that Secretary of State John Kerry’s family name was chosen by his paternal grandfather Fritz Kohn can save us from making assumptions based on his Irish-sounding name. But Vice President Joe Biden’s name really is of Irish origin, right? No, his ancestry is Irish on his mother’s side, yes, but English on his father’s, except that his middle name Robinette (his father’s mother’s maiden name) is a clue to French Canadian ancestry. How about Donald Trump? “ In Trump’s 1987 book, The Art of the Deal, he incorrectly states that Frederick Trump was of Swedish origin, an assertion that Fred Trump had made for many years. Trump later acknowledged his German ancestry…” ( Wikipedia . ) It sure doesn’t sound Swedish to me!

The short story is that “Mc” and “Mac” are prefixes that mean “son of.” Early inconsistencies in records are what led to having both Mc and Mac prefixes. Mc is just an abbreviation of Mac, and both can actually be abbreviated further to the much less common M’. As you might guess from this, the myth that a Mac name denotes Scottish heritage while a Mc name denotes Irish heritage is simply not true. Similarly, the assertion that Mac names are Protestant while Mc names are Catholic doesn’t have a shred of truth to it. They both just mean “son of” and can be used by anyone of either descent or religion. Someone with the last name of Mac Donald is sort of like someone with the last name of Johnson—likely, each had ancestors with the name of Donald or John. Back in the day, it was common to differentiate people with the same name by also calling them by the names of their fathers, which is how this sort of surname started to become popular. You can probably see why Mc and Mac names typically contain a second capital letter." }, { "docid": "D443830#0", "title": "http://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/101413/reviewing-assets-balance-sheet.asp\nReviewing Assets On The Balance Sheet", "text": "\"A company’s balance sheet provides a snapshot of the assets it owns, liabilities it is responsible for, and whatever might be left over when subtracting assets from liabilities that represents owners' capital or shareholders’ equity. Combined, an analysis of a firm’s balance sheet indicates its financial strength, whether it can meet its obligations and how it grows owners' capital. Below is a more detailed analysis of the asset side of the equation. Assets Overview A firm uses its assets to generate sales and bottom-line profits (net income) for shareholders. A healthy company will continually grow its assets, by reinvesting profits back into the business. A very basic, high-level asset balance sheet will include a mix of current and non-current assets totaled to indicate a firm's total assets. Current assets are those that can be sold rather quickly, or specifically within a year. In fact, they will likely be turned into cash and consist of working capital items, which generally consist of raw materials that are turned into final products sold by the company. Non-current assets consist of items likely to be sold or used up after a year or much longer. These are also logically referred to as long-term assets." }, { "docid": "D2574455#0", "title": "http://www.historyfiles.co.uk/KingListsBritain/BritainStrathclyde.htm\nCeltic Kingdoms of the British Isles", "text": "Celtic Kingdoms of the British Isles Celts of Britain Damnonii & Attacotti (Britons)The area of Scotland now known as Strathclyde was originally occupied by the British tribe known as the Damnonii. They were bordered to the north by the Venicones and the Epidii, and to the south by the Votadini , Selgovae, and Novantae tribes. The Roman conquest of Britain did not originally include the Damnonii territory, although there were periods when they later fell under Roman administration. That didn't last, however, and the Damnonii seem to have been a source of trouble for the Romans over a long span of time. They appear to have been formed a definite kingdom in the second century (one of the 'four kingdoms of ancient Scotland'), when a descendant of Caratacus of the Catuvellauni collected together a force of 'free Britons' in opposition to the 'enslaved' Britons and their masters to the south. The Damnonii may have been related in some way to the Dumnonii, and also the Irish tribe (s) of that name ('fir Domnainn', which means 'men (of) Domnonii'). The Roman conquests in the south of Britain could easily have forced small groups of natives to flee to still-independent areas of the British Isles and Ireland. Having done so, they would be only to ready to adopt the label of 'free Britons'. People of the Damnonii form one of the candidates for the mysterious Attacotti of the fourth century AD.

Moreover, many business owners assume that once they have chosen a business name and registered the business with the state, that they have unlimited rights to the name in conjunction with their business. The following questions and answers will hopefully explain the different meanings of these terms and the proper usage of each. A. What is a Legal Name? The legal name of a business is the name of the person or entity that owns a business. If the business is a partnership, the legal name is the name given in the partnership agreement or the last names of the partners. For limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations, the business' legal name is the one that was registered with the state government. These names will often have a “legal ending” such as LLC, Inc. or LLP. B. When Should a Legal Name be Used?

It is shared by 1.3% of the British populace. 1 It is also common in Ireland, no doubt reflecting English or Lowland Scots immigration in part, but it can also be an Anglicisation of Mc Gowan ( Mac Gabhann son of the smith ), 2 which is also a Scottish surname of the same meaning. South of the border Mc Gowan appears most strongly in Lancashire, where it reflects Irish immigration into Liverpool. The dominance of the Smiths is not surprising, if we consider that every village in the Middle Ages would need a blacksmith. In those areas of the British Isles with fewer villages, and more scattered farmsteads, there were fewer blacksmiths and consequently the surname is less common." }, { "docid": "D1360824#0", "title": "https://secretmenus.com/mcdonalds/breakfast-hours-menu/\nMcDonalds Breakfast Menu, Prices, & All-Day Breakfast Hours", "text": "Mc Donalds Breakfast Menu, Prices, & All-Day Breakfast Hours69What time does Mc Donalds start serving breakfast?

With an area of 36,692 hectares, or 142 square miles, and only 196 inhabitants recorded in the 2011 census, [3] Jura is much more sparsely populated than neighbouring Islay, and is one of the least densely populated islands of Scotland: in a list of the islands of Scotland ranked by size, Jura comes eighth, [5] whereas ranked by population it comes 31st. Jura forms part of the council area of Argyll and Bute. The island is mountainous, bare and infertile, covered largely by vast areas of blanket bog, hence its small population. [ 6]The main settlement is the village of Craighouse on the east coast. Craighouse is home to the Jura distillery, producing Isle of Jura single malt whisky. [ 7] The village is also home to the island's only hotel, shop and church. Between the northern tip of Jura and the island of Scarba lies the Gulf of Corryvreckan, where a whirlpool makes passage dangerous at certain states of the tide. The southern part of the island, from Loch Tarbert southwards, is designated as a national scenic area (NSA), [8] one of 40 such areas in Scotland, which are defined so as to identify areas of exceptional scenery and to ensure its protection from inappropriate development by restricting certain forms of development. [ 9] The Jura NSA covers 30,317 hectares in total, consisting of 21,072 ha of land, with a further 9245 ha being marine (i.e. below low tide).

An attraction of Davidson’s philosophy of language is the set of conceptual connections he draws between traditional questions about language and issues that arise in other fields of philosophy, including especially the philosophy of mind, action theory, epistemology, and metaphysics. This article addresses only his work on the philosophy of language, but one should bear in mind that this work is properly understood as part of a larger philosophical endeavor. It is useful to think of Davidson’s project in the philosophy of language as cleaving into two parts. The first, which commences with his earliest publications in the field (Davidson 1965 and 1967), explores and defends his claim that a Tarski-style theory of truth for a language L, modified and supplemented in important ways, suffices to explain how the meanings of the sentences of a language L depend upon the meanings of words of L, and thus models a significant part of the knowledge someone possesses when she understands L. In other words, Davidson claims that we can adapt a Tarski-style theory of truth to do duty for a theory of meaning. This claim, which is stronger and more complex than it appears at first reading, is examined in section 1. The second part of Davidson’s work on language (in articles beginning with Davidson 1973 and 1974) addresses issues associated with constructing the sort of meaning theory he proposes in the first part of his project. A Davidsonian theory of meaning is an empirical theory that one constructs to interpret─that is, to describe, systematize, and explain─the linguistic behavior of speakers one encounters in the field or, simply, in line at the supermarket. Again, this problem turns out to be more complex and more interesting than it first appears. This set of issues is examined in section 2." } ]

Latimer was born on September 4, 1848 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. His parents were George and Rebecca Latimer, both runaway slaves who migrated to Massachusetts in 1842 from Virginia. George Latimer was captured by his slave owner, who was determined to take him back to Virginia. His situation gained great notoriety, even reaching the Massachusetts Supreme Court. Eventually George was purchased by abolition supporters who set him free. Lewis served in the United States Navy for the Union during the Civil War, assigned to the U. S. S.

I immediately began to write this loving listicle of movie stars who have completely ignored Cher’s advice. As I began my research, I was surprised at the number of times that I was unsure myself if someone was alive, which imbued my mission with an even greater sense of purpose. I decided somewhat arbitrarily that in order to qualify, the actor had to have made their film debut before 1962 and preferably been under contract during the studio era.

Roberts was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the daughter of Larry and Ann Meltzer. Her father deserted the family when Roberts was a child, and her mother raised Doris Jewish with the help of her Russian-born parents in The Bronx, New York. Her stepfather was Chester H. Roberts. In 1999, Doris Roberts achieved \"\"overnight\"\" stardom in the role of Marie Barone in the series Everybody Loves Raymond, going from working actress -- which she'd been for more than 40 years to being an instantly recognized performer.

Long before stars like Jerry Lawler and Bret Hart claimed that title, a South Carolina native by the name of Rufus R. Jones was the undisputed king. It wasn’t a self- proclaimed moniker – he was presented the crown by a legion of fans one night at the Greensboro Coliseum. Rufus R. “Freight Train” Jones, who entertained thousands of wrestling fans for more than two decades, is dead at the age of 60. Jones, whose real name was Carey Lloyd, died of a heart attack Nov. 13 while on a hunting trip near his home in Kansas City, Mo. The personable Jones, who used running shoulder blocks known as the “freight train” to soften up his opponents for his finishing head butt maneuver, was also known for his colorful, yet sometimes dis jointed, television interviews. “My name is Rufus R. Jones, and the ‘R’ stands for guts,” became his rallying cry in several of his vintage spiels. Jones, who began his mat career in the mid-1960s, retired from the sport in 1987 and worked for two years as a security guard at a dog-racing track before opening Rufus’ Ringside Restaurant and Bar in Kansas City in 1991. And, like most of the things he took on, it was a success. Jones held an assortment of titles during his career – among them the Mid-Atlantic title, the Mid-Atlantic TV title and the Central States tag-team title with The Mongolian Stomper, Bulldog Bob Brown, Bob Geigel, Mike George and Dewey Robertson.

Contents [ hide ]1 Early life2 Business career3 Personal life3.1 Philanthropy and will4 References5 Further reading6 External links Early life [ edit]James Buchanan Duke, known by the nickname \"\"Buck\"\", was born on December 23, 1856, near Durham, North Carolina, to industrialist and philanthropist Washington Duke (1820–1905) and his second wife, Artelia Roney Duke. [ 3]Business career [ edit]Duke's father, Washington, had owned a tobacco company that his sons James and Benjamin (1855–1929) took over in the 1880s. In 1885, James Buchanan Duke acquired a license to use the first automated cigarette making machine (invented by James Albert Bonsack ), and by 1890, Duke supplied 40% of the American cigarette market (then known as pre-rolled tobacco). In that year, Duke consolidated control of his four major competitors under one corporate entity, the American Tobacco Company, which was a monopoly as he controlled over 90% in the American cigarette market. His robber baron business tactics directly led to the Black Patch Tobacco Wars in 1906-1908. At the start of the 1900s, Duke tried to conquer the British market as he had done the American, eventually forcing the then divided British manufacturers to merge into the Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain and Ireland, Ltd ( Imperial Tobacco ). After two years of intense competition in Great Britain, Imperial Tobacco took the fight to the U. S. market, forcing American Tobacco to look for a settlement. This resulted in an agreement whereby American Tobacco controlled the American trade, Imperial Tobacco controlled the trade in the British territories, and a third, cooperative venture named the British-American Tobacco Company was set up between the two to control the sale of tobacco in the rest of the world." } ]

Now, the 22-year-old actress is opening up about her next look for Descendants 3 and just how the wigs are made for her for the films. The wigs for Mal, Carlos, Evie and more, actually take months to make from scratch. “What they do is take a mold of your head and these wigs takes months to make,” Dove shared in a recent chat with J-14. However the look for “ Descendants 2 was all me. ”She continues, “They made a big crazy purple wig from scratch and asked me what I thought about it,” she adds. “ I showed them a pic of a girl with straight, long [hair], [and] blunt bangs. ”The only thing that she didn’t like? The color!“I didn’t like that it was lighter,” Dove says, revealing that when some fans saw the lighter purple as pink, she knew that was going to happen. So for Descendants 3, she has a clear vision." }, { "docid": "D2704667#0", "title": "http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSnSe-5ECm9qdw69tT86Jxg\nDove Cameron", "text": "\"Music videos Play all3:13Dove Cameron - White Christmas (Audio Only)Disney Music VEVO165,836 views 4 months ago2:51Dove Cameron - Step Up (From \"\"The Lodge: Season 2 Soundtrack\"\"/Jess Version/Audio Only)Disney Music VEVO168,333 views 7 months ago4:12You and Me (From \"\"Descendants 2\"\")Disney Music VEVO100,702,753 views 8 months ago CC3:16Ways to Be Wicked (From \"\"Descendants 2\"\")Disney Music VEVO19,678,565 views 8 months ago CC3:09It's Goin' Down (From \"\"Descendants 2\"\")Disney Music VEVO138,626,076 views 8 months ago CC2:51Descendants Cast - Rotten to the Core (From \"\"Descendants\"\")Disney Music VEVO308,614,465 views 2 years ago2:23Dove Cameron - If Only (From \"\"Descendants\"\")Disney Music VEVO156,623,819 views 2 years ago3:50Dove Cameron - Genie in a Bottle (Official Video)Disney Music VEVO146,862,264 views 2 years ago CC3:02Dove Cameron - Better in Stereo (from \"\"Liv and Maddie\"\")Disney Music VEVO70,605,391 views 4 years ago2:32Dove Cameron, Sofia Carson - Space Between (From \"\"Descendants 2\"\")Disney Music VEVO44,399,625 views 8 months ago CC3:16Descendants Cast - Set it Off (From \"\"Descendants\"\")Disney Music VEVO108,735,283 views 2 years ago3:12Kristin Chenoweth, Dove Cameron - Evil Like Me (From \"\"Descendants\"\")Disney Music VEVO58,761,053 views 2 years ago View 19 more Albums13 videos Liv and Maddie (Music from the TV Series)Dove Cameron, Jordan Fisher Updated today1 video Better Together (From \"\"Descendants: Wicked World\"\")Sofia Carson, Dove Cameron Updated today1 video My Destiny (From \"\"Liv and Maddie: Cali Style\"\")Dove Cameron Updated yesterday1 video One Second Chance (From \"\"Liv and Maddie: Cali Style\"\")Lauren Donzis, Dove Cameron Updated today1 video I'm Your Girl (From Descendants: Wicked World)Dove Cameron, Sofia Carson Updated today1 video Genie in a Bottle Dove Cameron Updated today1 video You, Me and the Beat (From \"\"Liv and Maddie\"\")Dove Cameron Updated today1 video Count Me In (From \"\"Liv & Maddie\"\")Dove Cameron Updated today1 video Cloud 9Dove Cameron, Luke Benward Updated today1 video Better in Stereo (from \"\"Liv and Maddie\"\")Dove Cameron Updated today1 video On Top of the World (from \"\"Liv and Maddie\"\")Dove Cameron Updated today \"" }, { "docid": "D2534680#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/535998793131330921/\nExplore Ryan Mccartan, Dove Cameron, and more!", "text": "\"Ryan Mccartan Dove Cameron 15 Years Year Old 15 Anos One Year Old Dave Cameron Age Dove Cameron and her mom See more Diving Filter Smile Hair Tumblr Dove Cameron Moda Celebs Snorkeling All smiles over here!See more See more Disney Channel Stars Disney Stars Lovey Dovey Diving Movie Stars Bear Dove Cameron Descendants Disney Descendants Queen The beautiful Dove Cameron See more Dove Cameron Disney Stars Teen Vogue Natural Makeup Girl Crushes Diving Hair And Beauty Fur Coat Photo And Video Dove Cameron Just Turned Her Freckles Gold See more Dove Cameron Pretty Girls Girl Pictures My Hair Diving Hair Makeup Beautiful People Beautiful Eyes Beautiful Women Dove) Prom anyone?

This extra genetic material causes the developmental changes and physical features of Down syndrome. Down syndrome varies in severity among individuals, causing lifelong intellectual disability and developmental delays. It's the most common genetic chromosomal disorder and cause of learning disabilities in children. It also commonly causes other medical abnormalities, including heart and gastrointestinal disorders. Better understanding of Down syndrome and early interventions can greatly increase the quality of life for children and adults with this disorder and help them live fulfilling lives. Symptoms Each person with Down syndrome is an individual — intellectual and developmental problems may be mild, moderate or severe. Some people are healthy while others have significant health problems such as serious heart defects. Children and adults with Down syndrome have distinct facial features. Though not all people with Down syndrome have the same features, some of the more common features include: Flattened face Small head Short neck Protruding tongue Upward slanting eye lids (palpebral fissures)Unusually shaped or small ears Poor muscle tone Broad, short hands with a single crease in the palm Relatively short fingers and small hands and feet Excessive flexibility Tiny white spots on the colored part (iris) of the eye called Brushfield's spots Short height Infants with Down syndrome may be average size, but typically they grow slowly and remain shorter than other children the same age." } ]

This includes the absorption of nutrients and minerals, the breakdown and buildup of large molecules, the interconversion of small molecules, and the production of energy from these chemical reactions. Virtually every chemical step of metabolism is catalyzed by an enzyme . Disorders of these enzymes that result from abnormalities in their genes are known as inborn errors of metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism were first recognized by Sir Archibald Garrod, a British physician who noted in 1902 that the principles of Mendelian inheritance applied to certain examples of human metabolic variation. He perceived the genetic basis for a particular metabolic condition that leads to visible effects — alkaptonuria, which results in a black pigment in the urine. Since then, more advanced chemical methods have allowed the discovery of hundreds of enzyme defects that cause metabolic diseases. Enzymes Control Metabolic Reactions Enzymes are proteins that control the rate of chemical reactions in the cell. In general, each enzyme controls the rate of only one or a few reactions. Enzymes function by binding to the molecules to be reacted (called substrates or precursors) and altering their chemical bonds, producing products." }, { "docid": "D2067399#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisomy_21\nDown syndrome", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Trisomy 21)navigation search Down syndrome Synonyms Down's syndrome, Down's, trisomy 21A boy with Down syndrome assembling a bookcase Specialty Medical genetics, pediatrics Symptoms Delayed physical growth, characteristic facial features, mild to moderate intellectual disability [1]Causes Third copy of chromosome 21.

However, the procedure can be done up to week 20. The quad screen is used to evaluate whether your pregnancy has an increased chance of being affected with certain chromosomal conditions, such as Down syndrome. The alpha-fetoprotein part of the test can help evaluate the chance for neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, and abdominal wall defects, such as omphalocele. If your risk level is low, the quad screen can offer reassurance that there is a decreased chance for Down syndrome, trisomy 18, neural tube defects and abdominal wall defects. If the quad screen indicates an increased chance of one of these conditions, you might consider additional screening or testing.

Since the introduction of cell-free DNA testing, screening for trisomy 13 has also been offered. The intent of such screening and diagnosis is to enable pregnant women to make informed decisions regarding their pregnancies and be better prepared in the event of the birth of an affected infant. The Disorders Neural Tube Defects (NTD)Neural tube defects (NTDs) (anencephaly, open spina bifida or meningomyelocele, and encephalocele) are a heterogeneous group of congenital malformations resulting from a failure of fusion of the neural tube. Anencephaly is almost always fatal at or within a few hours of birth. The survival rate and the degree of handicap (surgically correctable to severely disabling) of children with meningomyelocele or encephalocele vary with the location and severity of the lesion and the treatment given. The estimated incidence of NTD is ~1 per 1,300 pregnancies. 1Down Syndrome Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is a common autosomal aneuploidy characterized by growth retardation, lack of muscle tone, and moderate to severe intellectual disability." }, { "docid": "D128035#0", "title": "https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/birthdefects/downsyndrome.html\nFacts about Down Syndrome", "text": "Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome.

Babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these chromosomes, chromosome 21. A medical term for having an extra copy of a chromosome is ‘trisomy.’ Down syndrome is also referred to as Trisomy 21.

Every effort is made to motivate the students by attracting them to the many marvels of genetics, demonstrations and models of applied genetics, genetic engineering, genetic disorders, detecting genetic diseases thereby invoking their curiosity. The teachers in the Junior High Schools can also use these plans directly or modify to the students’ levels and needs. The aim here is to attract students initially and to hold their interest, while slowly introducing the terms, vocabulary and thought-provoking discussion questions without turning them off. Genetics is only one section of biology and can be pr Esented within a week or two and the curiosity of students are brought into focus in the development of this unit. The search for Nature’s secrets can be an exciting story if presented in an orderly manner. The subject can be introduced with a sequence of events that builds on mendel’s experiments with Pea Plants, leading to an understanding of basic, genetic mechanisms—sex determination, gene function and mutation. The students learn that Mendel concluded from his experiments that traits from both parents are passed on to the next generation of offsprings and that there are dominant and recessive factors for each trait." }, { "docid": "D1983879#0", "title": "http://www.surgeryencyclopedia.com/A-Ce/Amniocentesis.html\nAmniocentesis", "text": "\"Surgery A-Ce Amniocentesis Amniocentesis Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition Amniocentesis is a procedure used to diagnose fetal defects in the early second trimester of pregnancy. A sample of the amniotic fluid, which surrounds a fetus in the womb, is collected through a pregnant woman's abdomen using a needle and syringe. Tests performed on fetal cells found in the amniotic fluid can reveal the presence of many types of genetic disorders. Early diagnosis allows doctors and prospective parents to make important decisions about treatment and intervention prior to birth. Purpose Since the mid-1970s, amniocentesis has been used routinely to test for Down syndrome, by far the most common, nonhereditary, genetic birth defect, afflicting about one in every 1,000 babies. By 1997, approximately 800 different diagnostic tests were available, most of them for hereditary genetic disorders such as Tay-Sachs disease, sickle cell disease, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and cystic fibrosis. Amniocentesis, often called amnio, is recommended for women who will be older than 35 on their due-date. It is also recommended for women who have already borne children with birth defects, or when either of the parents has a family history of a birth defect for which a diagnostic test is available. Another reason for the procedure is to confirm indications of Down syndrome and certain other defects that may have shown up previously during routine maternal blood screening.

People with Cat Eye Syndrome Have a Very Distinctive Look By Mary Kugler, RNUpdated March 16, 2018Share Pin Email Print Credit: Dougal Waters/Digital Vision/Getty Images Cat eye syndrome (CES, also known as Schmid–Fraccaro syndrome), is a condition caused by a chromosomal abnormality and is named after the cat-like eye shape it causes. CES is the result of a genetic defect in chromosome 22, which causes an extra chromosome fragment. Incidence of Cat Eye Syndrome Cat eye syndrome affects both males and females and is estimated to occur in 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 150,000 individuals. If you have CES, you are most likely the only one in your family to have the condition since it's a chromosomal abnormality as opposed to a gene. Symptoms of Cat Eye Syndrome If you or your child has CES, you may experience a wide range of symptoms. About 80 percent to 99 percent of individuals with cat eye syndrome have the following three symptoms in common: Small growths of skin (tags) of the outer ears Depressions in the skin (pits) of the outer ears An absence or obstruction of the anus (anal atresia)Other, more common, symptoms of Schmid–Fraccaro syndrome includes: The absence of tissue from the colored part of one or both eyes (iris coloboma)Congenital heart defects Rib abnormalities Downward slanting openings between the upper and lower eyelids Defects of the urinary tract or kidneys Short stature Cleft palate Wide-set eyes Intellectual disability There are other less common birth defects, which have been noted as part of the condition, too. Causes of Cat Eye Syndrome According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), the exact cause of cat eye syndrome is not entirely understood. In some cases, the chromosomal abnormality appears to arise randomly due to an error in how a parent’s reproductive cells divide. In these cases, your parent has normal chromosomes." }, { "docid": "D2209951#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Trisomy-21\nDown syndrome", "text": "\"Correct all you're your grammar errors instantly.

The FAA has restricted the unauthorized use of model aircraft and small drones near airports. ( David Paul Morris / Bloomberg)Matt Pearce Contact Reporter FAA restricts unauthorized model aircraft and drones near airports The Federal Aviation Administration restricted the unauthorized use of model aircraft and small drones near airports in a new interpretation of existing federal rules that was released Monday. The administration cited recent \"\"reckless use of unmanned model aircraft near airports and involving large crowds of people\"\" in its announcement of the policy shift, which comes as federal officials are trying to determine how to regulate private unmanned aircraft in American airspace. Effective immediately, the aviation administration says model-aircraft operators flying within five miles of an airport must ask the airport and its control tower for permission to fly, according to its notice. “We want people who fly model aircraft for recreation to enjoy their hobby – but to enjoy it safely,” U. S. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement. “ We often say that safety is a shared responsibility, so to help, we are providing additional information today to make sure model aircraft operators know exactly what’s expected of them. ”The administration, citing preexisting law, issued a list of do's and don'ts for model-aircraft users that says pilots must always be in eyesight of their aircraft, which require certification if they're larger than 55 pounds and which can't be used for commercial purposes, such as for photography. Despite citing concerns over the use of small drones near crowds in a news release, the agency's notice did not issue guidelines explicitly banning the practice. Brendan Schulman, a New York-based attorney specializing in drone law, said he was troubled by the Federal Aviation Administration's restrictions on model aircraft near airports, which came without public comment. Previously, pilots of model aircraft or small drones were encouraged to contact the authorities only if they planned to fly within three miles of an airport, Schulman said; now, that contact is mandatory, and the safety bubble has been expanded to five miles. \"\"" } ]

A variety of names have been used including unmanned aircraft (UA), remotely operated aircraft (ROA), remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has now settled upon the term unmanned aircraft system (UAS), which acknowledges that drones include not only an aircraft, but a piloting control device and a method of communications between the two…well…most of the time.

According to the Guardian Liberty Voice, the FAA sent an email in February to Texas Equusearch informing the search group they were being prohibited from using the unmanned aircraft, commonly known as drones, in the group’s search efforts. Texas Equusearch took the matter to the United States Court of Appeals for the D. C. Circuit, whose three-person panel agreed that the FAA’a email was not legally binding, but a warning to the group. The Court overturning the intent of the email now means that Texas Equusearch can use the drones in their search efforts, and that the FAA’s authority over drones is greatly diminished because the FAA did not represent the completion of the agency’s policy on drone use in the United States. Those rules are expected to be made complete by next year. Not only was the FAA warning against the use of drones to the Texas search team not legally binding, it was also devoid of consequence to the group. The FAA prohibits the non-recreational use of drones in the U. S. without its permission. The agency has granted limited approvals to hundreds of public entities for academic or governmental use, and to two companies for commercial use in Alaska. The ruling by the court might not have had the intended effect of making the FAA policy null, but it did get the Texas group back its drone back to searching for missing people.

And while the FAA is currently working on a new set of rules that will address the operation of both commercial and non-commercial unmanned aircraft systems ( UASs) inside the national airspace system, the battle is just beginning. While it’s not fair to leave the drone industry in limbo for such a long time, the alternative – the resulting rules – probably won’t appease UAS pilots. The FAA has long defined the term aircraft as “a device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air,” and drones fit this definition, according to the FAA. And they’re not backing down on this definition anytime soon. In fact, they’ve sent a clear message that they’ll go after any drone pilot that doesn’t play by the rules. After a drone pilot named Raphael Pirker flew his drone over the University of Virginia and sold the footage to an advertising company, the FAA sued him on the basis of careless and reckless behavior, claiming that he was flying an aircraft without a certificate and flying at low altitudes over people, buildings and structures. Specifically, the FAA stated that Pirker violated FAR 91.13 (a), which states, “no person may operate an aircraft in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another. ”In March, a federal judge ruled in favor of Pirker, but the FAA appealed, saying that this type of activity, if allowed to become widespread, would put the national airspace system in danger.

Rick Wilking/Reuters WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday announced new rules that will require nearly all owners of remote-controlled recreational drones to register the machines in a national database, an attempt by the agency to address safety fears. Federal officials have rushed to issue new rules on drones before the holidays, when an estimated 700,000 new drones are expected to be bought. Drone owners will be required to submit their names, home addresses and email addresses to the F. A. A., disclosures meant to encourage users to be more responsible, officials said. “Unmanned aircraft enthusiast are aviators, and with that title comes a great deal of responsibility,” Anthony Foxx, the secretary of the Transportation Department, said in a conference call. “ Registration gives us an opportunity to work with these users to operate their unmanned aircraft safely. ”The federal rules are the first of their kind for users of recreational drones, also known as unmanned aircraft systems.

This procedure requires the use of a combination of drugs to terminate the pregnancy. Several drugs are currently used to perform medical abortion. Methotrexate (MTX)A medical abortion using methotrexate (MTX) followed by misoprostol is effective up to the end of the seventh week of pregnancy. A dose of methotrexate is given either orally or by injection at the first visit with the doctor. The second step to this procedure requires the use of misoprostol five to seven days later. A few hours or a few days later you will begin experiencing contractions and the fetus will be aborted from your body. Seven days after the administration of misoprostol you will be examined to ensure that the procedure is complete and no complications have occurred. Methotrexate is a drug that is typically used for the treatment of cancer and rheumatoid arthritis because it fights the rapid growth of cells in the body. When used to assist in an abortion, the drug will cause the fetus and placenta to separate from the lining of the uterus in preparation for the misoprostol administration." } ]

A teratogenic agent is responsible for producing such a defect. The term teratogen usually is cited in the context of causing anatomical defects in an embryo that was previously differentiating normally. Teratogens include irradiation, chemicals (drugs), and infectious agents. This chapter reviews principles of teratology and discusses drug use in pregnancy. DRUGS AND BIRTH DEFECTSThe clinical consequences of drug teratogens must be placed in the overall context of developmental defects in humans. Defects may be from genetic, environmental, or unknown causes. Approximately 25% are known to be genetic in origin (e.g., Mendelian, chromosomal). Approximately 65% of defects are of ostensibly unknown etiology but probably reflect combinations of genetic and environmental factors (polygenic/multifactorial). The risk for malformation after exposure to a drug must be compared with the background rate, which for major malformations in the general population usually is cited as 2–3%." }, { "docid": "D346141#0", "title": "https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/therapeutic+abortion\ntherapeutic abortion", "text": "\"therapeutic abortion Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Related to therapeutic abortion: spontaneous abortion, criminal abortion, Elective Abortion Abortion, Therapeutic Definition Therapeutic abortion is the intentional termination of a pregnancy before the fetus can liveindependently. Abortion has been a legal procedure in the United States since 1973. Purpose An abortion may be performed whenever there is some compelling reason to end a pregnancy. Women have abortions because continuing the pregnancy would cause them hardship, endangertheir life or health, or because prenatal testing has shown that the fetus will be born with severeabnormalities. Abortions are safest when performed within the first six to 10 weeks after the last menstrualperiod. The calculation of this date is referred to as the gestational age and is used in determining the stage of pregnancy. For example, a woman who is two weeks late having herperiod is said to be six weeks pregnant, because it is six weeks since she last menstruated. About 90% of women who have abortions do so before 13 weeks and experience fewcomplications.

It has replaced the live partial birth abortion method since the Partial Birth Abortion Ban act was upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court in April, 2007.

Wade", "text": "Crime1973Roe v. Wade Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite Roe v. Wade was a landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that established a woman’s legal right to an abortion. The Court ruled, in a 7-2 decision, that a woman’s right to choose an abortion was protected by the privacy rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. The legal precedent for the decision was rooted in the 1965 case of Griswold v. Connecticut, which established the right to privacy involving medical procedures. Despite opponents’ characterization of the decision, it was not the first time that abortion became a legal procedure in the United States. In fact, for most of the country’s first 100 years, abortion as we know it today was not only not a criminal offense, it was also not considered immoral. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the word “abortion” referred only to the termination of a pregnancy after “quickening,” the time when the fetus first began to make noticeable movements. The induced ending of a pregnancy before this point did not even have a name–but not because it was uncommon. Women in the 1700s often took drugs to end their unwanted pregnancies. In 1827, though, Illinois passed a law that made the use of abortion drugs punishable by up to three years’ imprisonment. Although other states followed the Illinois example, advertising for “Female Monthly Pills,” as they were known, was still common through the middle of the 19th century." }, { "docid": "D1943851#0", "title": "http://www.abortionfacts.com/literature/how-are-abortions-done\nHow Are Abortions Done?", "text": "\"How Are Abortions Done?

The sympathetic nervous system is often thought of as the part of the nervous system that controls primitive responses to stress and pain, the so-called “fight or flight” response. The increased sympathetic nervous activity in the intestine causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Sympathetic activity also delays emptying of the stomach into the small intestine and thereby prevents oral medications from entering the intestine and being absorbed. The impaired absorption of oral medications is a common reason for the ineffectiveness of medications taken to treat migraine headaches. The increased sympathetic activity also decreases the circulation of blood, and this leads to pallor of the skin as well as cold hands and feet. The increased sympathetic activity also contributes to the sensitivity to light and sound sensitivity as well as blurred vision. Migraine afflicts 28 million Americans, with females suffering more frequently (17%) than males (6%). Missed work and lost productivity from migraine create a significant public burden.

BACKGROUNDGravid patients with mechanical heart valves require long-term anticoagulant therapy. Controversy exists concerning the appropriate treatment of these patients. METHODSForty-three women on warfarin carrying out 58 pregnancies were studied. For each patient with full-term pregnancy a caesarian section was scheduled for the 38th week during brief warfarin discontinuation. Maternal and fetal complications were evaluated. Fetal complications were divided according to the warfarin dosage ≤5 mg and >5 mg necessary to keep an international normalized ratio (INR) of 2.5 to 3.5, and analyzed subsequently. RESULTSA total of 58 pregnancies were observed: 31 healthy babies (30 full term, 1 premature) and 27 fetal complications (22 spontaneous abortions, 2 warfarin embryopathies, 1 stillbirth, 1 ventricular septal defect, 1 growth retardation) were recorded.

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Medication Media Gallery Tables References Background Many causes of sudden death in the pediatric population are due to genetic heart disorders, which can lead to structural abnormalities (eg, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and arrhythmogenic abnormalities (eg, familial long QT syndrome ). Indeed, sudden cardiac death in the pediatric population can be the first presentation of an underlying heart problem. ( See Etiology and Pathophysiology and Presentation. ) Long QT syndrome is a genetically transmitted cardiac arrhythmia caused by ion channel protein abnormalities. It is characterized by electrocardiographic abnormalities and a high incidence of syncope and sudden cardiac death. ( See Etiology and Pathophysiology, Prognosis, and Workup. ) Long QT syndrome can be mistaken for palpitations, neurocardiogenic syncope, and epilepsy. [ 1] The diagnosis is suggested when ventricular repolarization abnormalities result in prolongation of the corrected QT interval. ( See DDx and Workup. ) Diagnostic criteria Schwartz et al suggested incorporating clinical and electrocardiogram (ECG) findings in a probability-based diagnostic criteria for long QT syndrome.

Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Migraine is a complex disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of headache, most often unilateral and in some cases associated with visual or sensory symptoms—collectively known as an aura—that arise most often before the head pain but that may occur during or afterward (see the image below). Migraine is most common in women and has a strong genetic component. Migraine headache. Example of a visual migraine aura as described by a person who experiences migraines. This patient reported that these visual auras preceded her headache by 20-30 minutes. View Media Gallery Signs and symptoms Typical symptoms of migraine include the following: Throbbing or pulsatile headache, with moderate to severe pain that intensifies with movement or physical activity Unilateral and localized pain in the frontotemporal and ocular area, but the pain may be felt anywhere around the head or neck Pain builds up over a period of 1-2 hours, progressing posteriorly and becoming diffuse Headache lasts 4-72 hours Nausea (80%) and vomiting (50%), including anorexia and food intolerance, and light-headedness Sensitivity to light and sound Features of migraine aura are as follows: May precede or accompany the headache phase or may occur in isolation Usually develops over 5-20 minutes and lasts less than 60 minutes Most commonly visual but can be sensory, motor, or any combination of these Visual symptoms may be positive or negative The most common positive visual phenomenon is the scintillating scotoma, an arc or band of absent vision with a shimmering or glittering zigzag border Physical findings during a migraine headache may include the following: Cranial/cervical muscle tenderness Horner syndrome (ie, relative miosis with 1-2 mm of ptosis on the same side as the headache)Conjunctival injection Tachycardia or bradycardia Hypertension or hypotension Hemisensory or hemiparetic neurologic deficits (ie, complicated migraine)Adie-type pupil (ie, poor light reactivity, with near dissociation from light)See Clinical Presentation for more detail. Diagnosis The diagnosis of migraine is based on patient history. International Headache Society diagnostic criteria are that patients must have had at least 5 headache attacks that lasted 4-72 hours (untreated or unsuccessfully treated) and that the headache must have had at least 2 of the following characteristics [ 1]: Unilateral location Pulsating quality Moderate or severe pain intensity Aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity (eg, walking or climbing stairs)In addition, during the headache the patient must have had at least 1 of the following: Nausea and/or vomiting Photophobia and phonophobia Finally, these features must not have been attributable to another disorder. Classification of migraine is as follows: Migraine without aura (formerly, common migraine)Probable migraine without aura Migraine with aura (formerly, classic migraine)Probable migraine with aura Chronic migraine Chronic migraine associated with analgesic overuse Childhood periodic syndromes that may not be precursors to or associated with migraine Complications of migraine Migrainous disorder not fulfilling above criteria Migraine variants include the following: Childhood periodic syndromes Late-life migrainous accompaniments Basilar-type migraine Hemiplegic migraine Status migrainosus Ophthalmoplegic migraine Retinal migraine A migraine variant may be suggested by focal neurologic findings, such as the following, that occur with the headache and persist temporarily after the pain resolves: Unilateral paralysis or weakness - Hemiplegic migraine Aphasia, syncope, and balance problems - Basilar-type migraine Third nerve palsy with ocular muscle paralysis and ptosis, including or sparing the pupillary response - Ophthalmoplegic migraine Testing and imaging studies Selection of laboratory and/or imaging studies to rule out conditions other than migraine headache is determined by the individual presentation (eg, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein levels may be appropriate to exclude temporal/giant cell arteritis).

[ 1] Accurate statistics have been kept since the enactment of the 1973 US Supreme Court decisions legalizing abortions. Note the following: Since the 1973 decision, approximately 1.3-1.4 million abortions have been performed annually in the United States. Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures performed in the United States each year. Medical termination of pregnancy with mifepristone was approved in the United States in 2000 and is used in 31 countries worldwide. Approximately half of all abortions are performed with this method. More than 40% of all women will end a pregnancy by abortion at some time in their reproductive lives. Based on estimated lifetime risk, each American woman is expected to have 3.2 pregnancies, of which 2 will be a live birth, 0.7 will be an induced abortion, and 0.5 will be a miscarriage. Using 1996 data, this translates into 3.89 million live births, 1.37 million abortions, and 0.98 million miscarriages. The pregnancy-associated mortality rate in the United States from 1998-2005 among women who delivered live neonates was 8.8 deaths per 100,000 live births." } ]

It is a paired artery, with one for each of the testes. It is the male equivalent of the ovarian artery. Because the testis is found in a different location than that of its female equivalent, it has a different course than the ovarian artery. They are two slender vessels of considerable length, and arise from the front of the aorta a little below the renal arteries. Each passes obliquely downward and lateralward behind the peritoneum, resting on the Psoas major, the right lying in front of the inferior vena cava and behind the middle colic and ileocolic arteries and the terminal part of the ileum, the left behind the left colic and sigmoid arteries and the iliac colon. Each crosses obliquely over the ureter and the lower part of the external iliac artery to reach the abdominal inguinal ring, through which it passes, and accompanies the other constituents of the spermatic cord along the inguinal canal to the scrotum, where it becomes tortuous, and divides into several branches. Two or three of these accompany the ductus deferens, and supply the epididymis, anastomosing with the artery of the ductus deferens; others pierce the back part of the tunica albuginea, and supply the substance of the testis." }, { "docid": "D745836#0", "title": "https://svpow.com/2014/09/23/tutorial-28-how-to-remember-the-branches-of-the-internal-iliac-artery/\nTutorial 28: how to remember the branches of the internal iliac artery", "text": "Tutorial 28: how to remember the branches of the internal iliac artery September 23, 2014Here’s a thing I put together to help my students understand the many branches of the internal iliac artery in humans. In the image above, we’re looking in superomedial view into the right half of the sacrum and pelvis. Bones are white, ligaments blue, the piriformis muscle sort of meat-colored, and arteries red (for a tour of the pelvis identifying all of this stuff, see my pelvic foramina slideshow ). At the top is a big inverted Y-shape: the common iliac arteries branching from the abdominal aorta, which continues on, much reduced, as the median sacral artery. The right common iliac artery is shown bifurcating into the external iliac artery, which continues on out of the pelvis to become the femoral artery, and the internal iliac artery, source of much fear and doubt. The first thing to understand is that any particular branching pattern of the internal iliac arteries, whether in an anatomical altas, a lecture, revealed in a dream, or even in your own body, will probably have no bearing whatsoever on the branching pattern in the next person you encounter, alive or dead. Furthermore, the variation between right and left in a single person can be as great as that among different people. The branches to pelvic viscera are particularly fiendish; they sometimes travel far into the pelvis as a common trunk and then “starburst” near their target organs, making identification almost impossible. Do not waste your time trying to memorize any particular branching sequence. Instead, concentrate on matching the arteries to their targets; you will discover the identities of the branches by seeing where they are going, not the order in which they branch." }, { "docid": "D2064501#0", "title": "https://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/biosc-224-study-guide-2013-14-kebede/deck/11501965\nBiosc 224 Study Guide (2013-14 Kebede)", "text": "\"1.

This miracle is a characteristic that all living things have in common and sets them apart from nonliving things. But even though the reproductive system is essential to keeping a species alive, it is not essential to keeping an individual alive. In human reproduction, two kinds of sex cells or gametes are involved. Sperm, the male gamete, and a secondary oocyte (along with first polar body and corona radiata), the male gamete must meet in the female reproductive system to create a new individual. For reproduction to occur, both the female and male reproductive systems are essential. It is a common misnomer to refer to a woman's gametic cell as an egg or ovum, but this is impossible. A secondary oocyte must be fertilized by the male gamete before it becomes an \"\"ovum\"\" or \"\"egg\"\". While both the female and male reproductive systems are involved with producing, nourishing and transporting either the oocyte or sperm, they are different in shape and structure." }, { "docid": "D3195741#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/vasovasostomy\nvasovasostomy", "text": "\"vasovasostomy Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Wikipedia .vasovasostomy [ vas″o-vah-sos´tah-me] anastomosis of the ends of the severed vas (ductus) deferens.

In the guinea pig, the narrow part of the epididymis that traverses the upper pole of the testis and passes downward over the entire length of the gonad is composed exclusively of efferent ductules and the initial segment (zone I) of the epididymal duct. At the beginning of zone II, the narrow contour of zone I expands into a large globular region which lies adjacent to the caudal pole of the testis. The globular region of the guinea pig epididymis is commonly referred to as the cauda epididymidis but in the present study, examination with the light microscope reveals that it is composed of five histologically distinct zones (zones III through VII). A detailed histological analysis of the characteristics of the epithelium in the seven zones of the guinea pig epididymis and in the efferent ductules and ductus deferens was udertaken to obtain a better understanding of structure-function relationships in the epididymis of the guinea pig. It was found that each of the zones could be readily distinguished on the basis of its histological features and primarily on the basis of the appearance of the principal cells.

The primary function of the reproductive system is to produce male and female sex cells and to ensure the growth and development of offspring. The reproductive system is comprised of male and female reproductive organs and structures. The growth and activity of these organs and structures is regulated by hormones. The reproductive system is closely associated with other organ systems, particularly the endocrine system and urinary system. Male and Female Reproductive Organs Both male and female reproductive organs have internal and external structures. Reproductive organs are considered to be either primary or secondary organs. The primary reproductive organs are the gonads (ovaries and testes), which are responsible for gamete (sperm and egg cell) and hormone production." }, { "docid": "D2066711#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/11314952/reproductive-system-flash-cards/\nreproductive system", "text": "72 terms sfsparks05reproductive system Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sortfunctions of the male reproductive system 1. testes produce sperm and the male sex hormone testosterone 2. the ducts transport, store and assist in maturation of sperm 3. the accessory sex glands secrete most of the liquid portion of semen 4. the penis contains the urethra, a passageway for ejaculation of semen and excretion of urinescrotum the supporting structure for the testes, consists of loose skin and underlying subcutaneous layer that hangs from the root of the penis internally it is divided by the scrotal septumdartos muscles subcutaneous layer and smooth muscle tissue that makes up the septumcremaster muscle series of small bands of skeletal muscle that descend as an extension of the internal oblique muscle through the spermatic cord to surround the testestestes/testicles paired oval glands in the scrotum. they develop near the kidneys in the posterior portion of the abdomen and they usually begin their descent into the scrotum through the inguinal canals during the latter half of the seventh month of fetal development.tunica vaginalis serous membrane which is derived from the peritoneum and forms during the descent of the testes, cover the testestunica albuginea the connective tissue of the tunica vaginalisseminiferous tubules where sperm is produced in the testesspermatogenic cells sperm forming cells, function is fertilizationsertoli cells have several functions in supporting spermatogenesis support and protect developing spermatogenic cells by nourishing spermatocytes, spermatids, and sperm; phagocytize excess spermatid cytoplasm as development proceeds; and control movements of spermatogenic cells and the release of sperm into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule. also produce fluid for sperm transport, secrete inhibin hormone and regulate the effects of testosterone and FSHleydig cells secrete testosterone, the most prevalent androgen.primary spermatocytes first step in sperm cell production; are diploidsecondary spermatocytes second step in sperm cell production; are haploid. no replication of DNA occurs herespermatids the result of the secondary spermatocytes splitting into fourspermiogenesis final stage of development. turn haploid spermatids into sperm. no cell division occurs." }, { "docid": "D3485185#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_function_of_the_ductus_arteriosis\nWhat is the function of the ductus arteriosis?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Cardiovascular Health What is the function of the ductus arteriosis? Flag What is the function of the ductus arteriosis? Answer by Amy Luo Confidence votes 655The ductus arteriosis (DA) is a normal part of the fetal circulation. It is a shunt (or a short vessel) that connects the pulmonary artery and descending aorta. Functions of DA include: Providing a channel for blood to bypass circulation to the lungs. Explanation: Since the fetus does not use his/her lungs, flow from the right ventricle needs an outlet. The DA shunts the flow of blood from the left pulmonary artery to the aorta just beyond the origin of the artery to the left subclavian artery. Distributing oxygen received through the placenta from the mother's blood. As part of the normal physiology, the DA starts closing once the baby is born and the lungs inflate, establishing breathing. The DA us completely sealed after 4-10 days, separating the pulmonary and systemic circulations.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?" }, { "docid": "D3550038#0", "title": "https://www.coursehero.com/tutors-problems/Biology/7161155-1-Which-condition-is-best-described-when-the-ovaries-shut-down-their/\n1.

This region is particularly important for examination of males because the spermatic cord, the testes, and the scrotum are included in this area. The inguinal region is a site for herniations, especially in males where the spermatic cord runs through the inguinal canal. The inguinal ligament and the iliopubic tract The inguinal ligament is formed at the inferior end of the external oblique’s aponeurosis. Most of the inguinal ligament fibers insert into the pubic tubercle directly, but some of them form the lacunar and pectineal ligaments that attach to the superior pubic ramus. The iliopubic tract is a fibrous band that runs just under the inguinal ligament. It reinforces the posterior wall and the floor of the inguinal canal.

After they leave the testes, the sperm passes through the epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct, and urethra. Epididymis Sperm leave the testes through a series of efferent ducts that enter the epididymis. Each epididymis is a long (about 6 meters) tube that is tightly coiled to form a comma-shaped organ located along the superior and posterior margins of the testes. When the sperm leave the testes, they are immature and incapable of fertilizing ova. They complete their maturation process and become fertile as they move through the epididymis. Mature sperm are stored in the lower portion, or tail, of the epididymis. Ductus Deferens The ductus deferens, also called vas deferens, is a fibromuscular tube that is continuous ( or contiguous) with the epididymis. It begins at the bottom (tail) of the epididymis then turns sharply upward along the posterior margin of the testes.

In a nutshell these reactions split water to release electrons and produce oxygen gas. The electrons are energized by light energy to higher energy levels in the chlorophyll molecule. They are passed through an electron transfer system in the thylakoid membranes. This is accompanied by proton accumulation in the lumen of the thylakoid which drives ATP synthesis as protons move back to the stroma. The electrons are excited again by light while held in chlorophyll again, and are passed to another short electron transfer system to NADP +. This can be summarized quite briefly as: H 2 O light → → → → → → → → → chlorophyll O 2 + ATP + NADPHYou may recall that photosynthesis can be summarized as: CO 2 + H 2 O light → → → → → → → → → chlorophyll O 2 + CH 2 OObviously the light reactions alone do not accomplish photosynthesis. They do not convert carbon dioxide into a carbohydrate which is an integral part of photosynthesis.

Elucidation of the carbonpathway Radioactive isotopes of carbon ( 14 C) and phosphorus ( 32 P) have been valuable in identifying the intermediate compounds formed during carbon assimilation. A photosynthesizing plant does not strongly discriminate between the most abundant natural carbon isotope ( 12 C) and 14 C. During photosynthesis in the presence of 14 CO 2, the compounds formed become labeled with the radioisotope. During very short exposures, only the first intermediates in the carbon-fixing pathway become labeled. Early investigations showed that some radioactive products were formed even when the light was turned off and the 14 CO 2 was added just afterward in the dark, confirming the nature of the carbon fixation as a “dark” reaction. American biochemist Melvin Calvin, a Nobel Prize recipient for his work on the carbon-reduction cycle, allowed green plants to photosynthesize in the presence of radioactive carbon dioxide for a few seconds under various experimental conditions." }, { "docid": "D400027#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/16057760/biology-chapter-8-flash-cards/\nBiology Chapter 8", "text": "\"103 terms sonjaadelgren12Biology Chapter 8Photosynthesis and Respiration Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Carbon dioxide, water, and light are used to make glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis is not a single chemical reaction, but rather a set of chemical reactions. The overall reaction is: 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + light → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2The reactions of photosynthesis can be categorized as light-dependent reactions and dark reactions. Chlorophyll is a key molecule for photosynthesis, though other cartenoid pigments also participate. There are four (4) types of chlorophyll: a, b, c, and d.

Part of a series on Paleontology Fossils [show]Natural history [show]Organs and processes [show]Evolution of various taxa [show]Evolution [show]History of paleontology [show]Branches of paleontology [show]Paleontology Portal Categoryv t e The history of paleontology traces the history of the effort to understand the history of life on Earth by studying the fossil record left behind by living organisms. Since it is concerned with understanding living organisms of the past, paleontology can be considered to be a field of biology, but its historical development has been closely tied to geology and the effort to understand the history of Earth itself. In ancient times, Xenophanes (570–480 BC), Herodotus (484–425 BC), Eratosthenes (276–194 BC), and Strabo (64 BC-24 AD) wrote about fossils of marine organisms, indicating that land was once under water. During the Middle Ages, fossils were discussed by Persian naturalist Ibn Sina (known as Avicenna in Europe) in The Book of Healing (1027), which proposed a theory of petrifying fluids that Albert of Saxony would elaborate on in the 14th century. The Chinese naturalist Shen Kuo (1031–1095) would propose a theory of climate change based on evidence from petrified bamboo. In early modern Europe, the systematic study of fossils emerged as an integral part of the changes in natural philosophy that occurred during the Age of Reason. [ 1] The nature of fossils and their relationship to life in the past became better understood during the 17th and 18th centuries, and at the end of the 18th century, the work of Georges Cuvier had ended a long running debate about the reality of extinction, leading to the emergence of paleontology- in association with comparative anatomy - as a scientific discipline. The expanding knowledge of the fossil record also played an increasing role in the development of geology, and stratigraphy in particular." }, { "docid": "D1012656#0", "title": "http://darwin.bio.uci.edu/sustain/bio65/lec02/b65lec02.htm\nEXTINCTION OF THE DINOSAURS", "text": "\"In North America the 3 mm layer is underlain by a similar layer 2 cm thick, and it is thickest (46 cm) at sites near to Haiti and Cuba, suggesting an impact site in the Caribbean Sea.

Our understanding of these events has progressed rapidly over the past few decades, especially with improvements in technology enabling more precise measurements of the ages of rocks, but the causes of these events are still debated. The extinction that occurred in the Late Ordovician is associated with an episode of global cooling, possibly to that of the Late Devonian. The events in the Late Permian and Late Triassic are associated with episodes of rapid global warming, and the eruption of major volcanic provinces. The end Cretaceous witnessed further eruptions and an extraterrestrial impact. These past crises demonstrate the resilience of the Earth's biota, and furthermore their study might help us better understand the responses of the biosphere to present day climatic changes.

The defining characteristic of vertebrates is their backbone, an anatomical feature that first appeared in the fossil record about 500 million years ago, during the Ordovician period. In this article, we'll look at the various groups of vertebrates in the order in which they evolved to create a picture of how vertebrate evolution unfolded to the present day. Jawless Fish (Agnatha)The first vertebrates were the jawless fish. These fish-like animals had hard bony plates that covered their bodies and as their name implies, they did not have jaws. Additionally, these early fish did not have paired fins. The jawless fish are thought to have relied on filter feeding to capture their food, and most likely would have sucked water and debris from the seafloor into their mouth, releasing water and waste out of their gills. The jawless fish that lived during the Ordovician period all went extinct by the end of the Devonian period. Yet today there are some species of fish that lack jaws (such as lampreys, and hagfish)." }, { "docid": "D2318943#0", "title": "https://www.livescience.com/28739-jurassic-period.html\nJurassic Period Facts", "text": "\"Live Science History Reference: Jurassic Period Facts By Livescience.com, staff | April 15, 2013 07:46pm ETMOREThe supercontinent Pangaea began to drift apart during the Jurassic Period. Credit: USGSThe Jurassic Period was the second segment of the Mesozoic Era. It occurred from 199.6 to 145.5 million years ago, following the Triassic Period and preceding the Cretaceous Period. During the Jurassic Period, the supercontinent Pangaea split apart. The northern half, known as Laurentia, was splitting into landmasses that would eventually form North America and Eurasia, opening basins for the central Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. The southern half, Gondwana, was drifting into an eastern segment that would form Antarctica, Madagascar, India and Australia, and a western portion that would form Africa and South America. This rifting, along with generally warmer global temperatures, allowed for diversification and dominance of the reptiles known as dinosaurs. Plant life By the Mesozoic Era, living things had evolved the capability of living on the land rather than being confined to the oceans. By the beginning of the Jurassic, plant life had evolved from Bryophytes, the low-growing mosses and liverworts that lacked vascular tissue and were confined to swampy moist areas. Ferns and gingkoes, complete with roots and vascular tissue to move water and nutrients and a spore system of reproduction, were the dominant plants of the early Jurassic." }, { "docid": "D341485#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_evolutionary_history_of_life\nTimeline of the evolutionary history of life", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Timeline of evolutionary history of life)navigation search Not to be confused with history of evolutionary thought.

In biology, evolution is any change across successive generations in the heritable characteristics of biological populations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization, from kingdoms to species, and individual organisms and molecules, such as DNA and proteins. The similarities between all present day organisms indicate the presence of a common ancestor from which all known species, living and extinct, have diverged through the process of evolution. More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, [1] that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct.

In biology, evolution is any change across successive generations in the heritable characteristics of biological populations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization, from kingdoms to species, and individual organisms and molecules, such as DNA and proteins. The similarities between all present day organisms indicate the presence of a common ancestor from which all known species, living and extinct, have diverged through the process of evolution. More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, [1] that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct. [ 2] [3] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, [4] of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described. [ 5]While the dates given in this article are estimates based on scientific evidence, there has been controversy between more traditional views of increased biodiversity through a cone of diversity with the passing of time and the view that the basic pattern on Earth has been one of annihilation and diversification and that in certain past times, such as the Cambrian explosion, there was great diversity.

The record shows that in late Permian times a group of animals called therapsids (synapsids), which had many mammal-like characteristics, appeared rather suddenly, flourished for about ten million years, and then died out in a wave of mass extinction. 151 Then, at the beginning of the Triassic Period, another group of therapsid \"\"protomammals\"\" appeared in the fossil record for a few million years, and were extinguished. Then another group appeared. A group of animals called thecodonts appeared about the same time as the third wave of therapsids, and as the Triassic Period wore on the therapsids diminished in number and the thecodonts increased. At the end of the Triassic, and the beginning of the Jurassic Period, most of the therapsids and thecodonts disappeared in another great wave of extinction. True dinosaurs then appeared.

It is the last period of the Mesozoic Era. The Cretaceous Period is usually abbreviated K, for its German translation Kreide (chalk). The Cretaceous was a period with a relatively warm climate, resulting in high eustatic sea levels that created numerous shallow inland seas. These oceans and seas were populated with now- extinct marine reptiles, ammonites and rudists, while dinosaurs continued to dominate on land. During this time, new groups of mammals and birds, as well as flowering plants, appeared. The Cretaceous ended with a large mass extinction, the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, in which many groups, including non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs and large marine reptiles died out. The end of the Cretaceous is defined by the abrupt Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (K–Pg boundary), a geologic signature associated with the mass extinction which lies between the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras." }, { "docid": "D1026233#0", "title": "http://www.platypus.org.uk/facts-history.htm\n.", "text": "\"History Geologic Time The Earth has existed for about 4.5 billion years old, but animals did not appear until 540 million years ago.

Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth. It is the sole living representative of its family ( Ornithorhynchidae) and genus ( Ornithorhynchus ), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record. The unusual appearance of this egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver -tailed, otter -footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, with some considering it an elaborate fraud. It is one of the few venomous mammals, the male platypus having a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom capable of causing severe pain to humans. The unique features of the platypus make it an important subject in the study of evolutionary biology and a recognisable and iconic symbol of Australia; it has appeared as a mascot at national events and is featured on the reverse of its 20-cent coin. The platypus is the animal emblem of the state of New South Wales. Until the early 20th century, it was hunted for its fur, but it is now protected throughout its range. Although captive breeding programmes have had only limited success and the platypus is vulnerable to the effects of pollution, it is not under any immediate threat.

Learning Objectives Discuss the definition of democracy: its core qualities, and any controversy over those qualities Key Takeaways Key Points The most common system that is deemed democratic in the modern world is parliamentary democracy in which the voting public takes part in elections and chooses politicians to represent them in a legislative assembly. A purer form is direct democracy in which the voting public makes direct decisions or participates directly in the political process. Elements considered essential to democracy include freedom of political expression, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, so that citizens are adequately informed and able to vote according to their own best interests as they see them. Majority rule is often listed as a characteristic of democracy. However, it is also possible for a minority to be oppressed by a tyranny of the majority in the absence of governmental or constitutional protections of individual or group rights. Key Termsegalitarian: Characterized by social equality and equal rights for all people.civil society: All of the institutions, voluntary organizations, and corporate bodies that are less than the state but greater than the family.

In a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a different person from the head of government. This is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, the executive branch does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature. Countries with parliamentary democracies may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament (such as the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden and Japan), or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature (such as Ireland, Germany, India and Italy). In a few parliamentary republics, such as Botswana, South Africa, and Suriname, among some others, the head of government is also head of state, but is elected by and is answerable to parliament. In bicameral parliaments, the head of government is generally, though not always, a member of the lower house.

[ 2] Democratic socialists hold that capitalism is inherently incompatible with the democratic values of liberty, equality and solidarity; and that these ideals can only be achieved through the realization of a socialist society. Democratic socialism can be supportive of either revolutionary or reformist politics as a means to establish socialism. [ 3]The term \"\"democratic socialism\"\" is sometimes used synonymously with \"\" socialism \"\", but the adjective \"\"democratic\"\" is sometimes used to distinguish democratic socialists from Marxist–Leninist inspired socialism which is viewed as being non-democratic in practice. [ 4] [5] Democratic socialists oppose the Stalinist political system and Soviet economic model, rejecting the authoritarian form of governance and highly centralized command economy that took form in the Soviet Union in the early 20th century. [ 6] Democratic socialism is distinguished from social democracy on the basis that democratic socialists are committed to systemic transformation of the economy from capitalism to socialism whereas social democracy is supportive of reforms to capitalism. [ 7] In contrast to social democrats, democratic socialists believe that reforms aimed at addressing social inequalities and state interventions aimed at suppressing the economic contradictions of capitalism will only see them emerge elsewhere in a different guise. As socialists, democratic socialists believe that the systemic issues of capitalism can only be solved by replacing the capitalist system with a socialist system—i.e. by replacing private ownership with social ownership of the means of production.

S. Ambassador played a tacit role in the removal of the Secretary General of Greece’s ruling political party;2 and (3) the attack on the World Trade Center was a joint Jewish-American conspiracy to justify a Western war against Muslims—with reports that no Jews died in the September 11 attacks.3 All of these perspectives have numerous subscribers in Greece.

E. David Jacobs, South African Ambassador to the Hellenic Republic. POLITICAL STABILITYAs an emerging economy, South Africa has not remained completely unaffected by the turmoil in other emerging economies world-wide, especially in Asia, and lately also in Russia. This negatively affected investor confidence in these countries. The fact, however, that we were able to weather this storm so successfully, including an assault on our currency, reflects positively on the inherent strength of our economy; on the soundness of our economic and fiscal policies; and above all, on the political stability in South Africa. South Africa's peaceful and stable transition to democracy, universally recognised as one of the major achievements of the 20th Century, is not a coincidence or a mere short-term success: the realities in South Africa, which made this miraculous transition possible, are still in place and guarantee future stability. Political stability is the key to investor confidence, especially in today's world. It is, therefore, essential to take a closer look at those factors, external and internal, which are guaranteeing continued political stability in South Africa. INTERNATIONAL DIMENSIONBesides large-scale foreign investment in South Africa, there are also vested foreign interests in various other fields which ensure continued foreign involvement in South Africa. Let me mention a few examples:a) Large and longstanding investments by leading European companies and increasingly also from the USA, guarantee the continued interest and involvement in developments in South Africa by the international community. Noteworthy is the fact that major concerns, who have been involved heavily and over a long period, and who are therefore well-acquainted with the realities in South Africa, are in the forefront as far as new investments in South Africa are concerned (the German company BMW is a prime example)." }, { "docid": "D1007945#0", "title": "https://www.forbes.com/sites/dougbandow/2017/01/05/greece-heads-into-another-economic-crisis-time-to-finally-exit-the-european-union/\nGreece Heads Into Another Economic Crisis: Time To Finally Exit The European Union?", "text": "Doug Bandow Contributor I write about international politics, economics, and development.

Here are some of the most common questions and answers related to Form I-90 for green card renewal and replacement:1When should I renew my green card? Answer: Most U. S. green cards expire every ten years. It’s best to file Form I-90 for a green card renewal 5-6 months before the expiration date on the green card. If that date has passed, you will not lose your permanent residence. But you should apply for a green card renewal as soon as possible. You should not file Form I-90 for a green card renewal earlier than six months before the expiration date; USCIS may reject your application and mail it back to you. Use the Green Card Renewal Calculator to determine when to file your application and get a helpful email reminder." }, { "docid": "D994883#0", "title": "http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/us-immigration/citizenship-through-marriage.html\nOn U.S. Citizenship Through Marriage", "text": "\"Naturalization is the process by which an immigrant with a green card becomes a citizen of the United States. Contrary to common myth, marrying a U. S. citizen or lawful permanent resident doesn't allow you to apply to naturalize right away. But it is a first step along the way. After getting married, you must get a green card, then spend a minimum number of years in the U. S. as a lawful permanent resident and meet various other requirements before applying to become a citizen. Rights of Green Card Holders Compared With Rights of U. S. Citizens As a green card holder (lawful permanent or conditional resident), you'll be able to live in the United States indefinitely, get a a Social Security Number (if you didn't get one already, using a work visa or permit), work here, and travel (so long as you don't abandon your U. S. residence and settle in another country, in which case you may not be allowed to return). You'll be given an identity card (which isn't actually green) that has your photo, in order to prove your status. But your status as a green card holder isn't entirely secure. If you violate U. S. laws, fail to keep U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services informed about your changes of address, receive government assistance, or otherwise become removable or inadmissible, you may jeopardize your right to stay in the U. S. or in some cases, to return after a trip outside. That's why you'll want to apply for U. S. citizenship as soon as you're eligible. U. S. citizens gain rights to vote, obtain a U.

A: Adjustment of Status (AOS) refers to the procedure that allows foreign nationals already in the U. S., who are eligible to receive an immigrant visa and for whom immigrant visa number is immediately available, to apply for immigrant status with the U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Adjustment of status within the U. S. is available for immediate relatives of spouses or parents of U. S. citizens provided the alien entered with a visa, even though the alien’s authorized stay has expired. It is also available to alien applicants who have obtained a labor certification indicating that there are no qualified or available Americans who are capable of performing the services the applicant does, and provided the alien applicant is in authorized status. Adjustment of Status is the final stage of Green Card application. After the completion of this process, the applicant becomes a lawful permanent resident of the U. S. A applicant can opt either for I-485 application or Consular Processing (CP).1) File form I-485: In this case, the applicant can file for adjustment of status using form I-485 and for family members while in US.2) Consular Processing: In this case, applicant can apply for adjustment of status at the U. S. Consular office in their home country. Adjustment of Status is a procedure allowing certain foreign nationals already in the U. S. to apply for immigrant status.

S. district court were not U. S. citizens. While that may not seem like many, just 3 percent of registered voters would have been more than enough to provide the winning presidential vote margin in Florida in 2000. Indeed, the Census Bureau estimates that there are over a million illegal aliens in Florida, and the U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has prosecuted more non-citizen voting cases in Florida than in any other state. Florida is not unique. Thousands of non-citizens are registered to vote in some states, and tens if not hundreds of thousands in total may be present on the voter rolls nationwide. These numbers are significant: Local elections are often decided by only a handful of votes, and even national elections have likely been within the margin of the number of non-citizens illegally registered to vote. Yet there is no reliable method to determine the number of non-citizens registered or actually voting because most laws to ensure that only citizens vote are ignored, are inadequate, or are systematically undermined by government officials. Those who ignore the implications of non-citizen registration and voting either are willfully blind to the problem or may actually favor this form of illegal voting. Americans may disagree on many areas of immigration policy, but not on the basic principle that only citizens—and not non-citizens, whether legally present or not—should be able to vote in elections.

If ultrasonograms show evidence of gallstones and if the cause of pancreatitis is believed to be biliary, a cholecystectomy should be performed during the same hospital admission. Feeding should be introduced enterally as the patient’s anorexia and pain resolves. Patients can be initiated on a low-fat diet initially and need not invariably start their dietary advancement using a clear liquid diet.

It is most commonly observed in the setting of very ill patients (eg, on mechanical ventilation, with sepsis or severe burn injuries, [3] after severe trauma [4] ). In addition, acalculous cholecystitis is associated with a higher incidence of gangrene and perforation compared to calculous disease. The usual finding on imaging studies is a distended acalculous gallbladder with thickened walls (>3-4 mm) with or without pericholecystic fluid. Acalculous cholecystitis can be observed in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, although it is a late manifestation of this disease. Acalculous cholecystitis can also be found in patients on total parenteral nutrition (TPN), typically those on TPN for more than 3 months. References Pathophysiology The main cause of this illness is thought to be bile stasis and increased lithogenicity of bile. Critically ill patients are more predisposed because of increased bile viscosity due to fever and dehydration and because of prolonged absence of oral feeding resulting in a decrease or absence of cholecystokinin-induced gallbladder contraction." }, { "docid": "D976987#0", "title": "http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/test_procedures/gastroenterology/cholecystectomy_92,P07689/\nCholecystectomy", "text": "Home > Health Library Cholecystectomy<< Back to Gastroenterology Tests and Procedures What is a cholecystectomy? A cholecystectomy is surgery to remove your gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ under your liver. It is on the upper right side of your belly or abdomen.

This may happen along the entire cut or just part of it. Your doctor may decide not to close it again with sutures (stitches). If your doctor does not close your wound again with sutures, you need to care for it at home, since it may take time to heal. The wound will heal from the bottom to the top.

A Gastroenterologist is a physician with dedicated training and unique experience in the management of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver. What is Gastroenterology? Gastroenterology is the study of the normal function and diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts and liver. It involves a detailed understanding of the normal action (physiology) of the gastrointestinal organs including the movement of material through the stomach and intestine (motility), the digestion and absorption of nutrients into the body, removal of waste from the system, and the function of the liver as a digestive organ. It includes common and important conditions such as colon polyps and cancer, hepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn), peptic ulcer disease, colitis, gallbladder and biliary tract disease, nutritional problems, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and pancreatitis. In essence, all normal activity and disease of the digestive organs are part of the study of Gastroenterology. Training A Gastroenterologist must first complete a three-year Internal Medicine residency and is then eligible for additional specialized training (fellowship) in Gastroenterology. This fellowship is generally 2-3 years long so by the time Gastroenterologists have completed their training, they have had 5-6 years of additional specialized education following medical school. Gastroenterology fellowship training is an intense, rigorous program where future Gastroenterologists learn directly from nationally recognized experts in the field and develop a detailed understanding of gastrointestinal diseases." }, { "docid": "D3500084#0", "title": "http://www.pinehurstmedical.com/gastroenterology-information/gastroenterology-a-endoscopy-services\nGastroenterology & Endoscopy Procedures and Services", "text": "Gastroenterology & Endoscopy Procedures and Services The following is a list of some of the common services and procedures offered by our gastroenterologists.

Of these 9,000, about 2/3 have cancer limited to the gallbladder, while the remaining 1/3 have cancer of the intra- and/or extrahepatic biliary tree. The gallbladder lies on the right of the liver. The biliary tree within the liver is referred to as “intrahepatic” while “extrahepatic” refers to the biliary system outside the liver. A bile duct tumor (s) can occur in any of these locations. Risk Factors & Presentation Risk factors for biliary cancers include chronic inflammation from infection or autoimmune disease, particularly primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Cholangiocarcinoma typically presents with signs of tumor obstruction of the bile duct. It may be localized (Klatskin’s tumor) versus a diffuse process (cholangiocellular) within the biliary tree. Early manifestations include pruritis (itchiness) and change in urine and stool color.

Uncomplicated cholecystitis has an excellent prognosis; the development of complications such as perforation or gangrene renders the prognosis less favorable. Signs and symptoms The most common presenting symptom of acute cholecystitis is upper abdominal pain. The following characteristics may be reported: Signs of peritoneal irritation may be present, and the pain may radiate to the right shoulder or scapula Pain frequently begins in the epigastric region and then localizes to the right upper quadrant (RUQ)Pain may initially be colicky but almost always becomes constant Nausea and vomiting are generally present, and fever may be noted Patients with acalculous cholecystitis may present with fever and sepsis alone, without the history or physical examination findings consistent with acute cholecystitis. Cholecystitis may present differently in special populations, as follows: Elderly (especially diabetics) – May present with vague symptoms and without many key historical and physical findings (eg, pain and fever), with localized tenderness the only presenting sign; may progress to complicated cholecystitis rapidly and without warning Children – May present without many of the classic findings; those at higher risk for cholecystitis include patients with sickle cell disease, serious illness, a requirement for prolonged total parenteral nutrition (TPN), hemolytic conditions, or congenital and biliary anomalies The physical examination may reveal the following: Fever, tachycardia, and tenderness in the RUQ or epigastric region, often with guarding or rebound Palpable gallbladder or fullness of the RUQ (30-40% of patients)Jaundice (~15% of patients)The absence of physical findings does not rule out the diagnosis of cholecystitis. See Presentation for more detail. Diagnosis Laboratory tests are not always reliable, but the following findings may be diagnostically useful: Leukocytosis with a left shift may be observed Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels may be elevated in cholecystitis or with common bile duct (CBD) obstruction Bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase assays may reveal evidence of CBD obstruction Amylase/lipase assays are used to assess for pancreatitis; amylase may also be mildly elevated in cholecystitis Alkaline phosphatase level may be elevated (25% of patients with cholecystitis)Urinalysis is used to rule out pyelonephritis and renal calculi All females of childbearing age should undergo pregnancy testing Diagnostic imaging modalities that may be considered include the following: Radiography Ultrasonography Computed tomography (CT)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)Hepatobiliary scintigraphy (see the image below)View Image Cholecystitis. Abnormal finding on hepatoiminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)The American College of Radiology (ACR) makes the following imaging recommendations: Ultrasonography is the preferred initial imaging test for the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis; scintigraphy is the preferred alternative CT is a secondary imaging test that can identify extrabiliary disorders and complications of acute cholecystitis CT with intravenous (IV) contrast is useful in diagnosing acute cholecystitis in patients with nonspecific abdominal pain MRI, often with IV gadolinium-based contrast medium, is also a possible secondary choice for confirming a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis MRI without contrast is useful for eliminating radiation exposure in pregnant women when ultrasonography has not yielded a clear diagnosis Contrast agents should not be used in patients on dialysis unless absolutely necessary See Workup for more detail.

The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach and close to the duodenum—the first part of the small intestine. The pancreas secretes digestive juices, or enzymes, into the duodenum through a tube called the pancreatic duct. Pancreatic enzymes join with bile—a liquid produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder—to digest food. The pancreas also releases the hormones insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream. These hormones help the body regulate the glucose it takes from food for energy. Normally, digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas do not become active until they reach the small intestine. But when the pancreas is inflamed, the enzymes inside it attack and damage the tissues that produce them. Surgeons in the Complex Abdominal Surgery Program at UCSF Medical Center have developed surgical techniques for severe acute pancreatitis, including blunt necrosectomy and the minimally invasive, step-up necrosectomy to remove the dead tissue. With new techniques to manage the disease, these procedures result in decreased severity of illness and fewer deaths." }, { "docid": "D1418514#0", "title": "https://www.drugs.com/health-guide/gallstones.html\nGallstones", "text": "Gallstones Health Guide Disease Reference Care Notes Medication List Encyclopedia Q & AMore What Is It? Gallstones are pebble-like nuisances that can form inside the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pouch that collects bile as that liquid flows from the liver to the intestine through the bile ducts. Bile is a fluid that is made, in part, to help with digestion. The salts in bile make it easier for you to digest fat. Bile also contains some waste products including cholesterol and bilirubin (created when old red blood cells are destroyed). Gallstones form in the gallbladder when cholesterol or bilirubin particles begin to cluster together into a solid lump. The stone grows in size as the bile fluid washes over it, much like a pearl forms inside an oyster. Most of the time, gallstones do not cause any symptoms or problems. Small gallstones can leave the gallbladder and its draining ducts, then pass out of the body through the intestines." }, { "docid": "D1180971#0", "title": "https://www.medicinenet.com/bile_duct_cancer_cholangiocarcinoma/article.htm\nBile Duct Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma)", "text": "Bile Duct Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma) Center Cancer 101 Pictures Slideshow Breast Cancer Slideshow Skin Cancer Slideshow Patient Comments: Bile Duct Cancer - Treatment Patient Comments: Bile Duct Cancer - Symptoms Patient Comments: Bile Duct Cancer - Stage Find a local Doctor in your town What is bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma)?

ADARSH ? · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment A basic form of cricket can be traced back to the 13th century, but it may have existed even earlier than that. The game seems to have originated among children of the farming and metalworking communities in the Weald between Kent and Sussex. Written evidence exists of a game known as creag being played by Prince Edward, the son of Edward I (Longshanks), at Newenden, Kent in 1300. In 1598, a court case referred to a sport called kreckett being played at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford around 1550. The Oxford English Dictionary gives this as the first recorded instance of cricket in the English language. A number of words are thought to be possible sources for the term \"\"cricket\"\". The name may derive from a term for the cricket bat: old French criquet (meaning a kind of club) or Flemish krick (e) (meaning a stick) or in Old English crycc (meaning a crutch or staff). ( The latter is problematic, since Old English 'cc' was palatal in pronunciation in the south and the west midlands, roughly ch, which is how crycc leads to crych and thence crutch; the 'k' sound would be possible in northern dialects, however.)" }, { "docid": "D1935420#0", "title": "http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Edgar\nWhat does Edgar mean?", "text": "\"What does Edgar mean?

Unlike the spiritualists of yore, who typically plied their trade in dark-room séances, Edward and his ilk often perform before live audiences and even under the glare of TV lights. Indeed, Edward (a pseudonym: he was born John Ma Gee Jr.) has his own popular show on the Sci Fi channel called Crossing Over, which has gone into national syndication (Barrett 2001; Mui 2001). I was asked by television newsmagazine Dateline NBC to study Edward’s act: was he really talking to the dead? The Old Spiritualism Today’s spiritualism traces its roots to 1848 and the schoolgirl antics of the Fox sisters, Maggie and Katie. They seemed to communicate with the ghost of a murdered peddler by means of mysterious rapping sounds. Four decades later the foxy sisters confessed how they had produced the noises by trickery (Nickell 1994), but meanwhile others discovered they too could be “mediums” (those who supposedly communicate with the dead). The “spiritualism” craze spread across the United States, Europe, and beyond. In darkened séance rooms, lecture halls, and theaters, various “spirit” phenomena occurred. The Davenport Brothers conjured up spirit entities to play musical instruments while the two mediums were, apparently, securely tied in a special “spirit cabinet.”" }, { "docid": "D2759542#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwards_(surname)\nEdwards (surname)", "text": "\"Edwards (surname)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the surname \"\"Edwards\"\".

It lies between 46° and 47° N latitude and 62° and 64° W longitude. To the south and west, the Northumberland Strait separates the island from the mainland provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Its location, along with the island’s fertile red soil, has given Prince Edward Island two nicknames: the “Garden of the Gulf” (referring to the Gulf of St. Lawrence) and the “Million-Acre Farm.” It is also sometimes referred to as “Spud Island” because of its significant potato production.

As part of Acadia during the French regime (1720–58), it was called Île Saint-Jean, but when the British took over they first Anglicized the name to St. John’s Island, then attempted to call it New Ireland, and finally, in 1799, named it for Edward Augustus, the duke of Kent and Strathern, commander of the British forces in North America and one of the sons of King George III of Great Britain.

Low temperatures are required during carcass storage to prevent microbial spoilage. Cold shortening or cold toughening depends on the difference between hot carcass and environmental temperatures. Carcass size and degree of fatness are other factors that influence carcass temperature decline. Most concern during storage, distribution and retail display of meat and meat products is the minimum growth temperature for a microorganism." } ]

Symptoms of foodborne illness include upset stomach, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and dehydration; they can range from mild to severe and death. Foodborne illness can affect anyone who eats contaminated food; however, certain populations are more susceptible to becoming ill with a greater severity of illness. These populations include infants and children, the elderly, pregnant women, people taking certain kinds of medications or immune suppressed (e.g., cancer patients, diabetics). To prevent foodborne illness, it is necessary to understand how food becomes unsafe to eat and what proactive measures can be taken to keep food safe. Causes of Foodborne Illness The causes fall into the following 3 categories: Biological hazards include bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Bacteria and viruses are responsible for most foodborne illnesses. Biological hazards are the biggest threat to food safety.

Introduction The quality of a food changes over time, which impacts its shelf life. Many deterioration and spoilage problems of foods are related to chemical, biochemical, and/or physical changes, such as lipid oxidation, enzymatic and non-enzymatic browning, and moisture absorption/loss.

In fact, at room temperature, the numbers of bacteria that cause foodborne sickness can double every 20 minutes! Chilling foods to proper temperatures is one of the best ways to slow the growth of these bacteria. To ensure that your refrigerator is doing its job, it’s important to keep its temperature at 40 °F or below; the freezer should be at 0 °F. Since few refrigerator controls show actual temperatures, using an inexpensive freestanding appliance thermometer will allow you to monitor the temperature and adjust the setting of the refrigerator and/or freezer if necessary.

Now we want to know what he should do from the time the carcass is eviscerated until it is ready to be cut into steaks and roasts. What is Aging? Aging of meat--also called seasoning, ripening or conditioning--is defined as the practice of holding carcasses or cuts at temperatures of from 34ºF to 37ºF. Thus enzymes (cateptic or proteolytic) function to break down some of the complex proteins contained in the muscle.

Information is given on chilling, freezing, cold storage, cooking, peeling and packing of shrimp. Shrimp canning and the manufacture of other shrimp products are briefly mentioned, and figures are given for yield and composition of shrimp meats. The principal species of shrimp encountered in the British fishery are named and described at the beginning of the note, and a brief account of methods of catching precedes the advice on handling them. Species of shrimp THE TERMS SHRIMP AND PRAWNThe terms shrimp and prawn are widely used in the UK industry to describe the same species and this can lead to some confusion. Species of Crangon and Pandalus, which constitute the bulk of the British commercial landings, are hence called shrimp in this note, whereas species of Palaemon, which are captured only in small quantities, are called prawn. The terms prawn and shrimp are often used in the fish trade to distinguish large specimens from small ones. The Labelling of Food Regulations 1970 contain a list of prescribed names for fish which comes into force on 1 January 1973, and here it states that large fish of the Pandalus, Palaemon and Penaeus species may be called prawn, and small specimens of the same species may be called shrimp. Since no guidance is given on what is meant by large and small, this could lead to difficulties. The use of size as a guide to naming becomes even more confusing in international trade because in North America for instance much bigger specimens than any that occur in British landings are invariably designated shrimp." }, { "docid": "D1243316#0", "title": "https://www.chowhound.com/recipes/basic-steamed-dungeness-crab-30258\nEasy Steamed Dungeness Crab", "text": "\"Easy Steamed Dungeness Crab Crab San Francisco Bay Area Christmas +9Steaming Seafood Gluten Free Shellfish Winter Pescatarian Dungeness Crab Main Dish Easy Save (68)Sign up to save this recipe to your profile Sign Up Now ›Rate1 crab (8 ounces of crabmeat) Easy (6) Total: 30 mins Active: 15 mins PREVIOUS: Dungeness Crab and Fuji Apple Salad with Curry...

E hlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary collagen disease presenting primarily as dermatological and joint disorders. The first description of the syndrome in the literature was of a young Spaniard who was able to stretch the skin overlying his right pectoral muscle over to the left angle of his mandible. 1 In 1901, Ehlers described the condition as a hyperelasticity of the skin and a strong tendency to bruising.

Collagen is one of the major structural components of the body. Collagen is a tough, fibrous, protein, and serves as a building block essential in both strengthening connective tissue (e.g. bones) and providing flexibility where needed (e.g. cartilage). The problems seen in patients with EDS can be due to either the poor strength of collagen. It may alternatively be due to the absence of sufficient amounts of structurally normal collagen. The primary complications seen in EDS involve the skin, muscles, skeleton, and blood vessels. Patients with EDS often have skin that can be describes as “velvety”, “loose”. This skin characteristic predisposes patients to problems with wound healing. Patients will often note that they develop “paper-thin” scars." }, { "docid": "D3229664#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system_diseases\nDysautonomia", "text": "\"Dysautonomia The autonomic nervous system Specialty Neurology Causes Inadequacy of sympathetic (or parasympathetic components) of autonomic nervous system [1]Risk factors Alcoholism and Diabetes [2]Diagnostic method Ambulatory Blood pressure, as well as EKG monitoring [3]Treatment Symptomatic and supportive [1] [ edit on Wikidata]Dysautonomia or autonomic dysfunction is a condition in which the autonomic nervous system (ANS) does not work properly. This may affect the functioning of the heart, bladder, intestines, sweat glands, pupils, and blood vessels. Dysautonomia has many causes, not all of which may be classified as neuropathic. [ 4] A number of diseases can feature dysautonomia, such as Parkinson's disease, HIV/AIDS, multiple system atrophy, autonomic failure, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and autonomic neuropathy. The diagnosis is achieved through functional testing of the ANS, focusing on the affected organ system. Investigations may be performed to identify underlying disease processes that may have led to the development of symptoms or autonomic neuropathy. Symptomatic treatment is available for many symptoms associated with dysautonomia, and some disease processes can be directly treated.

Connective tissue is any type of biological tissue with an extensive extracellular matrix that supports, binds together, and protects organs. These tissues form a framework, or matrix, for the body, and are composed of two major structural protein molecules: collagen and elastin. There are many different types of collagen protein in each of the body's tissues. Elastin has the capability of stretching and returning to its original length—like a spring or rubber band. Elastin is the major component of ligaments (tissues that attach bone to bone) and skin. In patients with connective tissue disease, it is common for collagen and elastin to become injured by inflammation (ICT)." }, { "docid": "D2166138#0", "title": "http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/e/ehlers_danlos_syndrome/doctors.htm\nDoctors and Medical Specialists for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome", "text": "Doctors and Medical Specialists for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Intro Symptoms Causes Treatment Misdiagnosis Deaths Videos Doctors Complications Must Reads in Health Protecting Your Skin During Winter Watch: My Personal Psoriasis Journey Are You Getting The Best Cancer Care?

The defining symptoms of fibromyalgia are often associated with other subjective and objective symptoms which occur in combination. The cause of fibromyalgia is considered as complex as its clinical presentation. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is still not well understood but mechanisms which have been suggested include:abnormal pain perceptionsleep disordersabnormal circulating levels of central neurochemical substancesskeletal muscle abnormalities, structural or functional It has also been suggested that joint hypermobility (JH) may be associated with the pathology of fibromyalgia. Quiz: Could You Have Fibromyalgia? What Is Joint Hypermobility? Joint hypermobility is defined as \"\"abnormally increased mobility of small and large joints beyond the limits of their physiological movement\"\". Joint hypermobility (see illustration) is common among in young females and is seen in about 5% of the healthy adult population.

It is the fourth installment in The Elder Scrolls action fantasy series, following The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and preceding The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The game was released for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 in March 2006, and on Play Station 3 in March 2007, with a mobile version of the game released on May 2, 2006. Taking place within the fictional province of Cyrodiil, Oblivion ' s main story revolves around the player character 's efforts to thwart a fanatical cult known as the \"\"Mythic Dawn\"\" that plans to open portal gates to a demonic realm known as \"\"Oblivion\"\". The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely. A perpetual objective for players is to improve their character's skills, which are numerical representations of certain abilities. Early in the game, seven skills are selected by the player as major skills for their character, with those remaining termed as minor skills. Development for Oblivion began in 2002, directly after the release of Morrowind, opting for tighter pacing in gameplay and greater plot focus than in past titles. To design the graphics, Bethesda used an improved Havok physics engine, high dynamic range lighting, procedural content generation tools that allowed developers to quickly create detailed terrains, and the Radiant A. I. system, which enabled non-player characters (NPCs) to make choices and engage in behaviors more complex than in past titles. The game features fully voiced NPCs—a first for the series—and the music of award-winning composer Jeremy Soule." } ]

Yes, it seems Dumbledore will be giving voice to The Prophet, a mysterious character that serves as an aide in recovering your stolen soul. Expect a deep voice full of wisdom, accompanied by an unmistakable British accent. High King Emeric, the charismatic Breton that leads the Daggerfall Covenant will be voiced by Golden Globe winner Bill Nighy.

Dawn Era Edit The Dawn Era began with the creation of Mundus; it is an era that is known mostly through myth and legend, which are different in different cultures, however most scholars agree on what events led up to the start of recorded history. Time did not exist and when it was created it was not linear, like during a Dragon Break. [ 9] The Convention took place at the \"\"end\"\" of this era, at the imposition of linear time.

None of these islands is really big, and Skiathos is no exception. From the four main islands this one has the best beaches, most of them very sandy and very large, but also almost all of them organized with facilities / sunbeds / parasols etc. In total you can find more than fifty beaches on Skiathos, which is of course quite a few for such a relatively small island. Because of the fine white sand (and small white pebbles on some of them) and the clear waters, the colour of the sea is usually a beautiful turqoise or greenblue, and very inviting for a swim. There's a bus going from the main town, which makes a stop at practically every beach on the east and the south of the island and then goes back again. There are beds and parasols almost everywhere you go and there are plenty of accommodations and restaurants to choose from. There are bars and clubs where you can have a good time in the evening and the night and terraces where you can have a cocktail while you stare at the sea or at the people that pass by. Skiathos is a stylish island with a touch of class that seems to be attracting people that have a bit of money to spend. This may be nice for some people, but personally I prefer the more unspoiled kind of beaches, which are more difficult to reach and where you just throw your towel in the sand." }, { "docid": "D3347482#0", "title": "https://www.facebook.com/HiltonMunichPark\n.", "text": "Home About Photos Restaurants Book a table at Tivoli Restaurant Events Reviews Trip Advisor Reviews Instagram Pinterest Posts Videos Locations Community Notes See more of Hilton Munich Park on Facebook Log Inor Create New Account Community See All5,530 people like this5,443 people follow this About See All Am Tucherpark 7 (5,228.88 mi) Munich, Germany 80538Get Directions Hilton Hotels & Resorts Location+49 89 38450Typically replies within a day Contact Hilton Munich Park on Messengerwww.munich-park.hilton.com Restaurant · Hotel · Travel & Transportation Impressum Hours Always Open Popular hours Suggest Edits People5,530 likes45,029 visits Pages liked by this Page Hilton Dresden Artists for Kids - Projekt für kreative Jugendhilfe Hilton Garden Inn Davos People Also Like Hilton Nuremberg / Hilton Nürnberg Hotel Hilton Munich City Hotel Hilton Munich Airport Hotel Restaurants in Munich, Germany Places Munich, Germany Travel & Transportation Hilton Munich Park English (US) · Español · Português (Brasil) ·Français (France) · Deutsch Privacy · Terms · Advertising · Ad Choices ·Cookies · More Facebook © 2018Photos See All Reviews4.2 1,146 Reviews Tell people what you think Veronica Collinet· November 20, 2017We are having the best time here!

Names that end with El (or Elle): Hazel, Annabel, Gabrielle, Danielle, Rachel, Isobel, Ethel, Liesel, Laurel, Mabel, Maricel, Claudel. And even names containing El: Adelaide, Helen/Helena, Delaney, Delilah, Stella, Lorelei, Melody, Madeleine, Penelope, Amelie, Cordelia, Jacqueline. Just some ideas - I hope you find something in there that strikes your fancy, or at least gives you an idea for a brilliant name. I personally quite like Hazel, Madeleine, or Lorelei, if you don't want to limit yourself to El- names.

( February 2014)Until the late 18th century, almost all Christian Greeks were named for Orthodox saints from the Old and New Testaments and early Christian traditions. With the Modern Greek Enlightenment and the development of Greek nationalism, names of Ancient Greek figures, both deities and mortals, became fashionable, as they remain today.

Female names almost always end in -α and -η, though a few end in -ώ with -ου being possible. When Greek names are used in other languages, they are sometimes rendered phonetically ( e.g. Eleni for Ἑλένη) and sometimes by their native cognates, e.g. English 'Helen' and French 'Hélène'. In the United States, there are conventional anglicizations of some names that are not otherwise related, e.g. Jimmy/James for Δημήτρης, when in fact James is cognate to Ἰάκωβος Iakovos/Jacobus." }, { "docid": "D663253#0", "title": "http://www.ilsp.gr/en/services-products/products/item/1-langtechn/2-noema\n.", "text": "NOEMA: Greek Sign Language dictionary Category: Language Education Products NOEMA - a dictionary of the Greek Sign Language (GSL) consists the first electronic dictionary of Greek signs and in parallel the first DVD-ROM production in Greece. It contains 3.000 video recorded signs with their Modern Greek translations and is equally addressed to native signers as well as to hearing students of GSL. On the basis of an ergonomic arrangement focusing on optimal product utilization by the two user groups, every video lemma is accompanied by its equivalent in Modern Greek, further explanatory remarks, if necessary, as well as synonyms and antonyms in GSL, whenever such exist. Incorporation of explanatory remarks and Modern Greek translations helps non native GSL users to better understand the meaning of the presented signs, while it allows native GSL signers to enrich their vocabulary in Modern Greek. The dictionary also provides for lemma classification according to semantic categories, the goal of which is to enable presentation, and accordingly, teaching of groups of signs, which are semantically or pragmatically related. However, the most important element of the dictionary remains its multimedia structure, given that the lemmas are actual video recordings of signs, accompanied by a significant number of explanatory icons. Lemma searching is possible by: The hand shape (s) consisting the sign: in this case the user selects the appropriate hand shape (s) from an exhaustive table by clicking on his/her selections. Lemma classification according to semantic category: in this case the user may observe groups of related signs such as names of animals and plants, signs related to family life, transportation, etc. Alphabetic ordering of sign translations in Modern Greek.

Fogle, 37, the now former Subway pitchman who agreed to plead guilty to charges that he had sex with minors and possessed child pornography, faces a prison sentence of five to 12 years. His foundation was supposed to pay out $2 million annually to schools and community organizations to combat childhood obesity, but instead it spent just $73,000 a year, the report says. Sixty percent of the money went toward the executive director’s salary, and 26 percent was unaccounted for, the newspaper reports. Russell Taylor served as executive director of the foundation from 2008, according to his Linked In page, until he was fired following his May arrest on multiple counts of child pornography.

Emma is ranked #1 on our popularity charts and is often added to lists like Antique Baby Names Back in Style and discussed in our forums with posts like \"\" Baby a Day \"\". From the experts: Emma has now been the most popular name in the United States for three years in a row, having done handsprings up the charts thanks to a legion of Emma heroines, from Bovary to Goldman to Jane Austen 's protagonist. So parents who have turned from Emily to Emma seeking something more distinctive will have to keep looking. Emma was given a big boost among popular girls' names when it was given to Rachel and Ross 's baby on Friends in 2002. Emma is simple but has deep history, is streamlined and modern-feeling yet distinctly feminine. It's hard to find all those qualities combined in one name, which is exactly why so many parents (over 17,000 last year) have chosen Emma and made it the top girls' name. Parents who love Emma but think it's overexposed have been moving to such alternatives as Amelia, Emilia, Amelie, Emmeline, and Ella. But, of course, these names might be poised to move up and take Emma 's place near the top of the list.

[ 3] [4] Due to her father being betrayed and her being forced into foster care and juvenile detention, Thorne has become emotionally troubled. Emily Van Camp, who portrays Thorne, described the character as having become \"\"corrupted\"\" to the point where Van Camp was concerned that it would be difficult to make Thorne appealing to audiences. The character usually appears calm and cold while dealing with difficult circumstances but as the series progresses, she begins to reveal vulnerabilities in her demeanor and reacts more emotionally to situations, which also impedes her efforts to get vengeance. [ 3] According to Van Camp, Thorne has tried to bury her emotions but has an unstable emotional side, which means her feelings come out in extremes. [ 5]Emily Thorne is a modern female interpretation of the character Edmond Dantès from The Count of Monte Cristo. In Revenge Thorne serves as a modern female version of Edmond Dantès, the lead character from The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, which is the novel that inspired the series. [ 6] According to Anthony Letizia of alterna-Tv.com, similar to Dantès being falsely imprisoned for fourteen years on the charge of treason, Thorne was imprisoned in juvenile detention [a] and her father was framed for the crime of financing a terrorist attack on the United States." }, { "docid": "D1149627#0", "title": "http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Amelie\nWhat does Amelie mean?", "text": "\"What does Amelie mean?

For the comic book series, see Empowered (comics). The term empowerment refers to measures designed to increase the degree of autonomy and self-determination in people and in communities in order to enable them to represent their interests in a responsible and self-determined way, acting on their own authority. It is the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights . Empowerment as action refers both to the process of self-empowerment and to professional support of people, which enables them to overcome their sense of powerlessness and lack of influence, and to recognize and use their resources. To do work with power. The term empowerment originates from American community psychology and is associated [ by whom?] with the social scientist Julian Rappaport (1981). [ 1] However, the roots of empowerment theory extend further into history and are linked to Marxist sociological theory. These sociological ideas have continued to be developed and refined through Neo-Marxist Theory (also known as Critical Theory). [" } ]

CORE MANDATESThe social work profession’s core mandates include promoting social change, social development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people. Social work is a practice profession and an academic discipline that recognizes that interconnected historical, socio-economic, cultural, spatial, political and personal factors serve as opportunities and/or barriers to human wellbeing and development. Structural barriers contribute to the perpetuation of inequalities, discrimination, exploitation and oppression. The development of critical consciousness through reflecting on structural sources of oppression and/or privilege, on the basis of criteria such as race, class, language, religion, gender, disability, culture and sexual orientation, and developing action strategies towards addressing structural and personal barriers are central to emancipatory practice where the goals are the empowerment and liberation of people.

Background Authentic leadership has been proposed as the root element of effective leadership needed to build healthier work environments because there is special attention to the development of empowering leader–follower relationships. Although the influence of leadership style and empowerment on job satisfaction is well documented, there are few studies examining the influence of authentic leadership on nurses' empowerment and work outcomes. Design A non-experimental, predictive survey. Method In 2008, a random sample of 600 Registered Nurses working in acute care hospitals across Ontario in Canada was surveyed. The final sample consisted of 280 (48% response rate) nurses. Variables were measured using the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire, Global Job Satisfaction Survey, and General Performance scale. The theoretical model was tested using structural equation modelling. Results/outcomes The final model fit the data acceptably. Authentic leadership significantly and positively influenced staff nurses' structural empowerment, which in turn increased job satisfaction and self-rated performance." }, { "docid": "D2857168#0", "title": "http://genderequality.ie/en/GE/Pages/WhatisGE\n.", "text": "\"You are here: What is Gender Equality? What is Gender Equality? Gender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of society, including economic participation and decision-making, and when the different behaviours, aspirations and needs of women and men are equally valued and favoured. The European Institute for Gender Equality has compiled an online Glossary of gender mainstreaming concepts and definitions, drawn from international and regional women’s human rights instruments, European Union and Council of Europe legislative and strategy documents. The Council of Europe has also compiled a Gender Equality Glossary based on the definitions and terms of Council of Europe instruments and standards relating to gender equality and this is available online. How Do We Measure Gender Equality? Gender equality is measured by looking at the representation of men and of women in a range of roles. The Central Statistics Office regularly publishes \"\" Women and Men in Ireland \"\", a compendium of key statistics which enable us to map progress achieved towards de facto gender equality in Ireland. The European Union statistical office, Eurostat, publishes an overview of gender statistics for the European Union from fields such as education, the labour market, earnings and health, important for showing differences in the situations of women and men.

Heathfield Updated January 28, 2018Are you interested in your own personal empowerment or the empowerment of your employees? Employers and employees both have unrealistic perceptions about what empowerment is and how it's supposed to work in real time. Empowerment is the process of enabling or authorizing an individual to think, behave, take action, and control work and decision-making about their job in autonomous, independent, self-directed ways. It is the state of feeling self-empowered to take control of your own destiny. Empowerment is feeling in control of your work environment and that you have permission to make decisions in the areas you control and are responsible for in your job. When thinking about empowerment in human relations terms, try to avoid thinking of it as something that one individual does for another. This is one of the problems organizations have experienced with the concept of empowerment. People think that someone, usually the manager, has to bestow empowerment on the people who report to him or her. Consequently, the reporting staff members wait for the bestowing of empowerment, and the manager asks why people won't act in empowered ways. This bestowing and waiting has led to a general unhappiness, mostly undeserved, with the concept of empowerment in many organizations." }, { "docid": "D2458911#0", "title": "https://joe.org/joe/1999october/comm1.php\nEmpowerment: What Is It?", "text": "\"October 1999 // Volume 37 // Number 5 // Commentary // 5COM1Empowerment: What Is It?

In order to learn these values we need to give leaders the tools to obtain, sustain, and follow through. The definition of leadership is “the ability to get others to follow.” Today’s leaders are struggling to get people to follow them, especially in high school and middle school. Many of the youth leadership organizations I work with are filled with students have a position of leadership, but most students are not following them. A majority of these leaders have a 3.0 or higher GPA, play one or more sports, are involved in a club or activity on or off the campus, and are rarely, if ever, sent to the dean for suspension or expulsion. These students are great leaders, but it is essential that our student leaders know that they can’t rely on a position of leadership to get their peers to follow them or to truly make a difference. We need to transform these leaders into what I call REAL LEADERS and give them the tools necessary to get their fellow students to follow them and do what’s right.

Verbal warning and written warning, particularly in a legal context, represent the stages in a formal disciplinary and/or corrective action. For those of us who are not familiar with the terms, verbal warning and written warning primarily exist within a company’s disciplinary policies and most companies issue such warnings as part of a corrective procedure. Traditionally, the terms are collectively defined as a series of steps carried out to discipline an employee or correct his/her performance at work. These steps are not only limited to verbal and written warnings but also include suspension and/or termination. However, the concern of this article is only the verbal and written warning, which can be distinguished by the fact that a verbal warning precedes a written warning. Further, it must be noted that while most companies adhere strictly to these stages of disciplinary action others might carry out such procedures slightly differently. What is Verbal Warning? The term verbal warning has been defined as a warning issued to an employee by the employee’s manager or supervisor concerning discipline and/or a performance issue.

Empowerment is not the same thing as employee engagement but it does help employees feel more engaged. Several factors contribute to effective empowerment. Your organizational culture must support empowerment. It won't work if managers feel threatened by a loss of authority, for example. There is also the question of what to empower and when.

A functional commission of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), it was established by Council resolution 11 (II) of 21 June 1946. The CSW is instrumental in promoting women’s rights, documenting the reality of women’s lives throughout the world, and shaping global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women. In 1996, ECOSOC in resolution 1996/6 expanded the Commission’s mandate and decided that it should take a leading role in monitoring and reviewing progress and problems in the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, and in mainstreaming a gender perspective in UN activities. Following the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015, the Commission now also contributes to the follow-up to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development so as to accelerate the realization of gender equality and the empowerment of women (ECOSOC resolution 2015/6 ). During the Commission’s annual two-week session, representatives of UN Member States, civil society organizations and UN entities gather at UN headquarters in New York.

To follow the above definition, administrators must be active in providing experiences for all teachers to grow as leaders. In today’s economy and with limited funds available to provide teachers with professional development, administrators must be creative and open to numerous options for individual and school growth. This growth is enhanced by empowered teachers, who are committed to the overall success of the school’s mission, have increased productivity in and out of the classroom, and an increase in the teachers disposition Research shows that when administrators use tactics to increase teacher empowerment, teacher morale also increases. Terry (2000) states “in schools where teachers are empowered to be leaders, the focus of control changes from the principal to the teachers” (p.2). In the “Journey to Teacher Empowerment (1999) the authors share that when teachers’ confidence increases and when they feel competent in their abilities, classroom instruction will improve. Goyne (1994) states that” administration should encourage other teachers to seize opportunities to share their strengths with other members of the staff” (p.2). By providing opportunities, teachers are accepting leadership roles. Furthermore, participating teachers learn new skills to increase student learning. As teachers improve together as a staff, individual and school moral can increase." } ]

A week back, I sprayed mixture of water and epsom salt through a spray tank having a ratio of 2 tbsp of epsom per 1 gallon of water on a lawn measuring 3000 sqft. A total of 3 gallons of the mixture was sprayed. I just wanted to ask if the ratio is correct and also do i have to just spray (like insecticide spray) or soak the lawn completely for a greener lawn. Moreover, how frequently should i apply it on to my lawn. Thanks Post #9312790Quote Bookmarkecrane3 Dublin, CA (Zone 9a) Oct 23, 2012Unless you know that your soil is deficient in magnesium, there are probably other better things to do if you want a greener lawn (such as lawn fertilizer). And even if you have a magnesium deficiency and need epsom salts, you'll still need to fertilize since epsom salt doesn't provide any of the other nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium)Post #9313274Quote Bookmark Wee Nel Ayrshire Scotland, United Kingdom Oct 23, 2012I would always recamend a soil test be done before you spray large areas of garden as there can be quite a difference in PH from one area to the next especially IF the top soil was imported before the lawn was laid and you might not know where the soil originated from, Should you not know or have soil testing done (you can do the test yourself very cheaply) buy a very cheep soil test kit from garden store, a few dollars, it might not be as proper as the professional kits used by professional gardeners but, believe me these cheaper kits are fine and used all over the world by amature gardeners to give a (guide) as to the type of soil they have and what is required to alter the PH either up or down depending on what is to be planted. You never said why you needed to spray the lawn or if there were signs of any deficiencies showing in the lawn to make you think Magnesium was short and causing a problem so it is difficult without a picture to offer help at this point. My own gut feeling for a lawn that is well established (that is more than a year old) is to purchase a good quality and recommended ready prepared lawn feed and weed, that is used according to the directions on carton, some have a moss killer mixed in as well as a feed, others have just feed or a Lawn sand mix that helps keep any moss at bay while offering good drainage over the wetter winter months, the best thing to do is to go to the garden store and talk to someone who treats lawns in your area as I am sure there will be someone who can help as I'm not really sure what type of grass you would be using in Pakistan, I know some parts of UK use a different grass mix as do some USA states wwhile here in UK we grow a more finer type of grass because of our climate and temp variations as well as rain fall. Hope this helps you out a bit." } ]

Using Epsom salt baths is an advanced detoxification strategy that has remarkable health benefits. Epsom salts are named for a bitter saline spring located at Epsom in Surrey, England. Epsom is different than traditional salts in that it is actually a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate. These minerals have very powerful health benefits that can enhance the detoxification capabilities of the body. How an Epsom salt bath works: Magnesium and sulfate are both readily absorbed through the skin and into the body's blood stream.

Roses respond to fertilizer just before the plants experience a new growth spurt. Flower buds develop during a growth spurt, and feeding the plants during the bud development stage helps them produce the best blossoms. Climbers respond to deadheading immediately after the first bloom period, followed by a resting phase during the hottest part of the season before the second phase of flowering begins. Depending on the rose variety, the plants gear up to produce another round of flowers as cooler weather approaches. Cultivars of climbing roses flourish throughout U. S.

( January 24, 1982) - When Bobby Layne flipped the coin for the start of Super Bowl XVI, it logically followed that the game between the San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals would be played along unconventional lines. As a Hall of Fame quarterback for the Detroit Lions in the 1950s, the Texan Layne frequently delighted in unorthodox strategy while en route to National Football League championships. Super Bowl XVI was played to an improbable script. Three turnovers cost the Bengals 17 points in a 20-point first half that set a Super Bowl record; the 49ers staged a dramatic goal line stand that might have saved the game, and Ray Wersching kicked a record-tying four field goals. The location of the game also set a precedent. After 15 games in warm weather climates, the 1982 championship contest was played in the Pontiac (Mich.) Silverdome, 25 miles from Detroit. While surrounding areas shivered in below zero chill factors, 81,270 enjoyed 72-degree comfort in the huge, 5-year-old stadium. That the 49ers and Bengals were in the Super Bowl was remarkable in itself. For more than 30 years, the 49ers had strained and struggled in a bid for distinction, but their best efforts produced only three division titles." }, { "docid": "D464451#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Knight\nPhil Knight", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Philip Knight\"\" redirects here.

But, even so, there are some who aren't pleased with Jerry Jones. Many fans would like to see him gone, forming organizations to have him displaced as general manager. Sports Illustrated has named Jerry Jones as one of their least favorite sports personalities, after receiving the results of an online poll in Virginia, Delaware and Texas.

Major sports franchises (the NFL, the NBA, the NHL and Major League Baseball) announce such ownership changes fairly frequently. What is not so frequent, however, is seeing Blacks — even as limited partners — in these 122 sports ownership groups (32 NFL teams, and 30 each in the other three sports). Sorry to report, there’s just one Black majority owner among all of those franchises, in all of those sports. I point that out because the new Sixers major owner, a guy named Joshua Harris, was smart enough to add Will and Jada Smith as limited partners in the 15-person ownership group that he headed, as he bought the team from Comcast-Spectacor. I don’t have a clue how much Will and Jada actually invested in the team’s $280 million purchase price, but it certainly wasn’t “chump change,” by any stretch of the imagination. Harris, the lead owner, is not only a Wharton School graduate and a shrewd business owner, he’s also ranked at #309 on Forbes Magazine’s list of the 400 wealthiest Americans, one of 12 NBA owners to have made the list.

If you can detect the symptoms at an early stage, then you can keep things from getting ugly. Esophageal ulcer is a kind of peptic ulcer which affects the esophagus - the passage where food travels from the throat to the stomach. These ulcers are open sores or lesions which form in the lining of the esophagus. Experts say that excess production of the stomach acid is responsible for corroding the lining of the esophagus, causing it to inflame and eventually producing an ulcer. This condition is commonly associated with long-term use of pain relievers, smoking, infection by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, and acid reflux. Symptoms Caused By Esophageal Ulcer One classic symptom is a dull or burning pain. It is common with all forms of peptic ulcers. The affected person may feel the pain radiating within the areas starting from the navel up to the breastbone. The pain worsens when the ulcer comes in contact with the stomach acid, and may last from a few minutes to several hours and may disappear only to return after a few days or weeks." } ]

Burning sensations in the esophagus can make swallowing painful, leading to poor nutrition. Burning in the chest associated with meals may be from esophageal conditions such as acid reflux, inflammation or ulcers. However, pain and burning while swallowing may also relate to conditions that involve the pharynx, or throat, since the throat muscles are so important in swallowing. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Gastroesophageal Reflux Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is a recurring problem, with symptoms affecting over 20 percent of Americans. It occurs when the esophagus becomes irritated from a back-flow of stomach acid. Prolonged exposure to acid reflux and irritation can result in painful swallowing and other complications because the lining of the esophagus becomes sore and inflamed. Structures in the throat can also be involved.

The main function of the esophagus is to propel food into the stomach. To ensure that food does not move backward—a condition known as reflux—sphincters (constricting ring-shaped muscles) at either end of the esophagus close when the food is not passing through them in a forward direction. Esophageal function tests are used to determine whether the sphincters are working properly. Purpose The esophagus has two sets of sphincters at its upper and lower ends. Each of these muscular rings must contract in an exact sequence for swallowing to proceed normally. The upper esophageal sphincter normally stops the contents of the stomach from moving backward into the pharynx and larynx (voice box). The lower esophageal sphincter guards against stomach acid moving upward into the esophagus. The lower sphincter should be tightly closed except to allow food and fluids to enter the stomach. The three major symptoms occurring with abnormal esophageal function are difficulty with swallowing (dysphagia); heartburn; and chest pain." }, { "docid": "D749983#0", "title": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212097113700165\nEndoscopic Imaging of Esophageal Lichen Planus", "text": "Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2013, Pages 31-32open access Endoscopic Imaging of Esophageal Lichen Planus A Behrens Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S2212-0971 (13)70016-5 Get rights and content Open Access funded by Fuji Photo Film U.

Most patients are middle-aged or elderly women. Esophageal involvement seems to be high (50%), but the great majority of patients do not show any symptoms. Endoscopic findings include lacy white papules or submucosal plaques, peeling tissue paper-like pseudomembranes, hyperemic lesions, erosive changes, ulceration, and stenosis. Owing to missing data there are no evidence-based therapeutic recommendations. Probatory therapeutic regimes with use of acute flares of systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, rituximab, and topical corticosteroids have shown positive effects.

The intestinal tube is a \"\"sounding board\"\" structure for the nervous system. During acute psychic stress (worry, concern, competition), we are all aware of such symptoms as loss of appetite, tendency to loose stools, and even nausea and vomiting. Disordered autonomic nervous system function also occurs in longer lasting anxiety with such physiologic changes as increased production of gastric acid, rapid emptying of the stomach, diarrhea or constipation, increased or decreased appetite. Abdominal pain from the gastrointestinal tube is typically vague, often rhythmic and difficult to localize. The symptoms related to peptic ulcer are probably the most characteristic of all abdominal discomfort but even they can be variable. Characteristic symptoms of gastrointestinal involvement are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, dysphasia, and jaundice. One can usually localize symptoms as to which end of the gut is involved, but innervation is so interrelated at times even this is difficult.2.2 Ulcer Disease On completion of this minicourse you will be able to:1.

The stomach churns the food and secretes a strong acid that aids in digestion. A specialized muscle, known as the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), is located at the end of the esophagus. This muscle normally contracts firmly, relaxing only to allow food and liquid to pass from the esophagus into the stomach. This muscle maintains a certain pressure to keep the end of the esophagus closed, preventing stomach acid and digested food from moving back into the esophagus. However, the LES muscle does not always work perfectly. It can easily be overcome by a number of factors, the most common being eating a large meal. Other agents that weaken the LES muscle and allow reflux of stomach juices are: Nicotine (cigarettes)Fried or fatty foods Chocolate Coffee Citrus fruits and juices Peppermints Pregnancy What is Esophagitis?

Frequent and mild gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is quite common, especially in infants, but the disease (GERD) is more severe and causes complications. It is estimated that about half of American adults experience GERD symptoms at least once a month. The hallmark symptoms of GERD may occur several times per day and include: Heartburn. A burning sensation in the chest and throat. Regurgitation. A sensation of acid or food/liquid backed up in the esophagus. Typical GERD symptoms in infants include frequent regurgitation, irritability, arching the back, choking or gagging, and resisting feedings.

Epigastrium is the medical term for the upper middle region which lies high up in the abdomen. It is approximately where the breastbone ends, although some of the abdomen is tucked under the ribcage and behind the breastbone. Causes of Upper Middle Abdominal Pain1. Esophageal (Gullet) Disorders Upper central abdominal pain during swallowing may appear in esophageal varices (mainly in chronic alcoholics) or in esophageal ulcers due to prolonged gastric acid reflux Strong painful cramps in the esophagus that may be felt behind and below the breastbone may be due to: Dry food Hard passage of the food because of the dry esophageal mucosa (in dehydration), overgrown fibrous tissue (strictures) in prolonged GERD or, rarely, in systemic sclerosis Improper relaxation of the muscles that embrace the stomach entrance (cardia) due to damaged nerves (mostly during surgery)Diagnosis is made from history or by upper endoscopy (esophagoscopy).2. GERDGastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) refers to back-flow of gastric acid into esophagus. Burning pain below and behind the breastbone and/or in the throat and acidic taste in mouth are main symptoms. The cause is inadequate closure of the stomach entrance from various reasons, like herniation of the upper part of the stomach through a widened opening in the diaphragm (hiatus hernia). Diagnosis is made from symptoms, upper endoscopy and measuring of pressures and p H in the esophagus.3. Gastritis Gastritis (Latin gaster = stomach; -itis denotes inflammation) is inflammation of the inner layer (mucosa) of the stomach with one or more of the following symptoms: Burning pain below the breastbone, worsening during or after the meal Nausea and vomiting Early satiety Excessive belching (burping)Fever Heartburn, burning feeling behind the breastbone and/or in the throat Abdominal cramps Black stools The causes of acute (sudden) gastritis include infection with rotavirus (stomach flu) , mainly in children, food poisoning, excessive secretion of gastric acid, painkillers like aspirin or ibuprofen, acidic foods, spices and so on." }, { "docid": "D2746738#0", "title": "https://draxe.com/acid-reflux-symptoms/\nAcid Reflux Symptoms, Causes & Natural Treatments", "text": "Conditions Conditions Acid Reflux Symptoms, Causes & Natural Treatments Acid Reflux Symptoms, Causes & Natural Treatments1244 27 9120Between 25 percent to 40 percent of Americans of all ages suffer from acid reflux symptoms. An estimated 20 percent of adults experience gastroesophageal reflux disease weekly or daily — commonly called GERD or referred to as heartburn, a more severe case of acid reflux. ( 1) Why do so many suffer from these agitating, often persistent, symptoms of indigestion? As you’ll learn, there are many common causes of GERD and acid reflux, which include pregnancy, hiatal hernias, eating an unhealthy diet and an imbalance of stomach acid. All of these can result in the regurgitation of acid that triggers unpleasant acid reflux symptoms, such as burning or belching. ( 2)At the root of acid reflux is dysfunction of the the lower esophageal sphincter, which is supposed to close as soon as food passes through. However, if it doesn’t close all the way, acid can creep up from lower in the digestive system and begin to cause an array of problems. If it’s not treated properly, long-term acid reflux can cause severe damage. Easing acid reflux or GERD symptoms temporarily with medications or over-the-counter drugs is usually not a cure — it’s only a way to offer some relief as symptoms are suppressed in the short-term. Ironically, these medications may cause new or worsened symptoms, depending on how your body reacts to them." } ]

Early inhabitants during the Paleolithic Age, in an effort to survive, grouped together into small societies such as bands, and subsisted by gathering plants and hunting for wild animals. The practice of cultivating the soil, producing crops and raising livestock began in the Neolithic Age some 9,000 years ago; stone tools were used and people began to live in small groups, or villages. As man continued to journey east-to-west across Eurasia (a combination of Asia and Europe), knowledge of tools and new methods of organization arrived; civilizations flourished as metal axes and arrowheads improved survival. In the 8th century BC, Greece began to emerge from the Dark Ages. Classical Greek culture had a powerful influence on the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of the Mediterranean region and Northern Europe. In short, the Greek culture provided the foundation of modern Western culture. Of the great civilizations to develop in Europe, the previously mentioned Roman Empire certainly had the most lasting influence. During its often tumultuous 500-year period of innovation, it changed the continent and had a profound and lasting influence on the development of modern architecture, language, law and religion. After its collapse, the Eastern Roman Empire survived (285-1450) as the Byzantine Empire." } ]

It shares the continental landmass of Eurasia with the continent of Europe and the continental landmass of Afro-Eurasia with both Europe and Africa. Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometres (17,212,000 sq mi), about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, [5] was the site of many of the first civilizations. Asia is notable for not only its overall large size and population, but also dense and large settlements, as well as vast barely populated regions. Its 4.5 billion people constitute roughly 60% of the world's population. In general terms, Asia is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. The western boundary with Europe is a historical and cultural construct, as there is no clear physical and geographical separation between them. The most commonly accepted boundaries place Asia to the east of the Suez Canal, the Ural River, and the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas.

The corresponding adjective is Middle-Eastern and the derived noun is Middle-Easterner. The term has come into wider usage as a replacement of the term Near East (as opposed to Far East) beginning in the early 20th century. Arabs, Turks, Persians, Azeris and Kurds constitute the largest ethnic groups in the region by population, while Armenians, Assyrians, Circassians, Copts, Greeks, Jews, Somalis, Shabaks, Mandaeans and other ethnic and ethnoreligious groups form significant minorities. The history of the Middle East dates back to ancient times, with the (geopolitical) importance of the region being recognized for millennia. Several major religions have their origins in the Middle East, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; the Baha'i faith, Mandaeism, Unitarian Druze, and numerous other belief systems were also established within the region. The term \"\"Middle East\"\" may have originated in the 1850s in the British India Office. However, it became more widely known when American naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan used the term in 1902 to \"\"designate the area between Arabia and India\"\". During this time the British and Russian Empires were vying for influence in Central Asia, a rivalry which would become known as The Great Game. The modern Middle East began after World War I, when the Ottoman Empire, which was allied with the Central Powers, was defeated by the British Empire and their allies and partitioned into a number of separate nations, initially under British and French Mandates." }, { "docid": "D11470#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent\nContinent", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Continent (disambiguation).

However, the same word is employed also to indicate different non-Roma groups whose lifestyle is apparently similar; like some “ Travellers ” and other itinerant people. We are not dealing here with the derogatory implications that are ascribed to this term, but only with the respectful meaning of the word which may be acceptable as a popular term to define a community of people having distinguishable cultural features. There are also other applications of this word which are not of our interest, as for example, in reference to people whose lifestyle is regarded as unconventional ‒ in a similar way as “Bohemian” ‒ or as it is applied mainly in America, to artists who have actually not any ethnic relationship with any Gypsy group, neither Romany nor non-Romany. Therefore, we can say that there are ethnic Gypsies who are Roma, and other Gypsies who are not ethnically Roma. In this essay we intend to briefly expose about both: Romany and non-Romany Gypsies. Romany Gypsies The Roma are a well defined ethnic community, composed by groups and sub-groups having a common origin and common cultural patterns ‒ that in many cases have been modified or adapted, according to the land of sojourn and other circumstances along history. There is a common Romany Law, which several groups do not keep any longer, but still recognizing that their ancestors have observed such complex of laws until not too long time ago. It is not easy to classify the distinct Romany groups and sub-groups. There are different patterns to be considered in order to establish a relationship between them: for example, the language and the degree of observance of the “ Zakono ” (the Romany Law) are essential for the largest group of Roma worldwide, while many other groups do not speak Romany at all and take account of other facts in order to consider a person to be a true Rom/Romni or not." }, { "docid": "D1630362#0", "title": "http://www.skwirk.com/p-c_s-16_u-307_t-751_c-2820/topography/nsw/topography/australia-s-physical-environment/the-australian-continent\nTopography", "text": "Topography Unit Home Topic Home Chapter Home 5 Pictures 1 Animations 0 Videos Chapter Summary 0 Activities 1 Exams Introduction Topography is a term that refers to the characteristics of land in terms of slope, elevation and orientation. The study of topography is crucial in gaining an understanding of the land and its uses. A landform is an individual topographic feature, which can be as minor as a cliff or a sand dune, or as major as a peninsula or a mountain range. In focusing on a topographic landform it is possible to ascertain information on environmental quality, agriculture and hydrology, such as determining weather patterns, managing soil erosion and understanding drainage characteristics. Landforms The Australian continent, with the exception of Antarctica, is the lowest, flattest and driest of the seven continents. The continent can be broken into four major landform regions: the Coastal Plains, the Eastern Highlands, the Central Lowlands and the Western Plateau. These landform regions have been created by movements in the Earth's crust, river erosion and changes in climate and sea level. Within these major areas, there are smaller topographic regions with distinctive landforms.

Asia borders Africa and Europe to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. Asia is bounded by the Arctic Ocean on the north, the Indian Ocean on the south, the Pacific Ocean on the east, and Europe on the west. The continent of Asia can be divided into six sub categories—Northern Asia, Southern Asia, Eastern Asia, Western Asia, Central Asia and South East Asia. It lies almost entirely in the northern hemisphere of the Earth and the seasons are more or less similar all throughout the continent. Asia has almost every type of climate found in the world. The key factors that influence Asia’s climate are its vast land area, its location between the Arctic and the Tropics, and the great range in elevation from sea level to the high plateaus and mountains. According to a popular belief, the name Asia is derived from an Assyrian word ‘Asu’ meaning ‘East’. The continent of Asia has been home to some of the greatest ancient civilizations like the Chinese and the Harappan civilizations.13 Interesting Facts about Asia The continent of Asia is home to more than 60% of the total population of the world and is therefore the most populous continent in the world.

For transpiration in human and animal physiology, see Sweating and Hyperhydrosis. Overview of transpiration: Water is passively transported into the roots and then into the xylem. The forces of cohesion and adhesion cause the water molecules to form a column in the xylem. Water moves from the xylem into the mesophyll cells, evaporates from their surfaces and leaves the plant by diffusion through the stomata Stoma in a tomato leaf shown via colorized scanning electron microscope The clouds in this image of the Amazon Rainforest are a result of evapotranspiration. Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation. [ 1] Leaf surfaces are dotted with pores called stomata, and in most plants they are more numerous on the undersides of the foliage. The stomata are bordered by guard cells and their stomatal accessory cells (together known as stomatal complex) that open and close the pore. [" } ]

Plants use xylem and phloem as the main vehicles for transport. Roots pull in water and nutrients from the soil, which are then moved upward into the stems and leaves by xylem.

Potometer readings will typically vary according to factors in the environment, such as temperature, light, humidity, breeziness and the available supply of water for the plant. A very simple potometer can be made by inserting a leaf-bearing plant stem snugly into a piece of plastic tubing and connecting the tubing to a pipette, or graduated length of glass tubing, full of water. It is important to prevent any air from entering the apparatus, so potometers are often assembled underwater, with everything submerged apart from the leaves. Changes in the level of water in the pipette are noted over time to assess the rate of water uptake by the plant, which corresponds to loss of water from the leaves. Plant roots take up water and minerals from the soil and transport them up the stem to the leaves through specialized tissue known as xylem. Xylem consists of numerous tiny channels which run vertically all the way up the plant. When water reaches the leaves, it evaporates through openings called stomata. As water molecules tend to stick together, this evaporation from the top of the plant exerts an upward pull on the vertical columns of water in the xylem. By setting up a potometer experiment, transpiration rates can be measured when various environmental factors are changed." }, { "docid": "D1127531#0", "title": "http://study.com/academy/lesson/how-evaporation-transpiration-contribute-to-the-hydrologic-cycle.html\nHow Evaporation & Transpiration Contribute to the Hydrologic Cycle", "text": "Your next lesson will play in 10 seconds Add to Timeline Autoplay 30K 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 Runoff & Infiltration: Definition & Process What Is Transpiration in Plants? - Definition, Rate & Process What is Runoff? - Definition & Effects The Water Cycle: Precipitation, Condensation, and Evaporation Lesson Transcript Instructor: Sarah Friedl Sarah has two Master's, one in Zoology and one in GIS, a Bachelor's in Biology, and has taught college level Physical Science and Biology.

The amount of water a plant needs depends on the type of plant, how much light the plant gets, and how old the plant is. When plants are not watered properly they wilt. This is because of something called turgor, which is water pressure inside the cells that make up the plant's skeleton. Water enters a plant through its stem and travels up to its leaves. When a plant is properly hydrated, there is enough water pressure to make the leaves strong and sturdy; when a plant doesn't get enough water, the pressure inside the stems and leaves drops and they wilt.

Muscle soreness is a normal consequence of exercise. In most cases it is mild, emerging shortly after a workout is completed (if not during the workout) and lasting no longer than a day or two. But sometimes the pain is intense, and when it’s intense it is almost always delayed, emerging the morning after the workout and lasting as long as three or four days. Known as delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), this rarer type of pain occurs after workouts that are unusually long or intense. Naturally, what constitutes an unusually long or intense workout differs between individual runners, and may also differ for any single athlete over time. For beginners, and for those who are returning to training after time off, virtually any workout is unusually long and intense, and that’s why DOMS occurs most frequently and is most severe at the beginning of the training process. RELATED: Eat & Drink Away Muscle Soreness A certain amount of DOMS is unavoidable at this time. However, there are ways to minimize it, and minimizing DOMS is a worthy goal, because that muscle pain is a sign of muscle injury.

Thus, any form of exercise with eccentric muscle contractions causes more DOMS than does exercise with concentric muscle contractions. Ample evidence from histologic studies, electron microscopic examination, and serum enzymes of muscular origin supports this notion. To produce a given muscle force, fewer motor units are activated in an eccentric contraction than in a concentric contraction. In eccentric contractions, the force is distributed over a smaller cross-sectional area of muscle. The increased tension per unit of area could cause mechanical disruption of structural elements in the muscle fibers themselves or in the connective tissue that is in series with the contractile elements; however, it has not been proven that injury to muscle cells or to connective tissue is the causative factor in DOMS." }, { "docid": "D2604963#0", "title": "http://www.wisegeekhealth.com/how-do-i-treat-soreness-after-massage.htm\nHow Do I Treat Soreness after Massage?", "text": "Rest, drinking fluids, and applying heat or cold can help with soreness after massage. If soreness persists for more than two or three days, or becomes extremely painful, it may be a sign of an injury that could require medical treatment. Massage does carry some risks, particularly for those with certain conditions. It can be important to discuss medical history with a massage therapist before a session, identifying any causes for concern. Patients in treatment for ongoing medical problems might want to discuss massage with their doctors to determine if it is right for them. Various massage techniques can cause different levels of soreness. Some involve deep muscle work which can make people sore, just like working out. When the muscles are not used to being manipulated in a particular way, they can become tender. This is a special concern with deep tissue and trigger point massage, both of which can involve intense, sustained pressure as part of the session. Soreness after having a massage can be more likely when the work is deep." }, { "docid": "D284945#0", "title": "http://running.competitor.com/2014/07/recovery/eat-and-drink-away-sore-muscles_38375\nEat And Drink Away Sore Muscles", "text": "Eat And Drink Away Sore Muscles By Matt Fitzgerald, Published Jul. 17, 2014Adding nuts into your diet can help your muscles recover after a workout.

If you can’t handle tender calves and aching hamstrings, you shouldn’t run. In fact, according to surveys, muscle soreness is one of the major reasons non-runners don’t run. While you can’t avoid muscle soreness completely as a runner, there are things you can do to lessen it. When you think of treatments for muscles recently beat up by the roads, you probably think of things such as ice baths, massage, topical analgesics and anti-inflammatory medications. But there are also nutritional measures that can address muscle soreness in a few distinct ways. One of the simplest things you can do to reduce the amount of tissue damage your muscles are subjected to during running is to consume a sports drink during your longer runs. When muscle glycogen stores fall low late in long runs, the muscles rely increasingly on breaking down their own proteins to provide an alternative fuel source." }, { "docid": "D1417278#0", "title": "https://www.verywell.com/muscle-pain-and-soreness-after-exercise-3119254\nWhat Causes Muscle Soreness After Exercise?", "text": "\"Health and Safety What Causes Muscle Soreness After Exercise? Understanding Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)By Elizabeth Quinn | Reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MDUpdated January 05, 2018Share Pin Email Print Pali Rao/Getty Images Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a phenomenon in which muscle pain or stiffness develops a day or two after exercise. While it is most common in people who have just started exercising, it can happen to anyone who has dramatically increased the duration or intensity of a workout routine. DOMS is considered a normal response to unusual exertion and is part of an adaptation process by which the muscles recover and undergo hypertrophy (an increase in muscle size). Causes of DOMSDOMS is not the same thing as muscle pain experienced during exercise or one caused by an injury such as a strain or sprain. Rather, it is related to microscopic tears that develop in muscle fibers as you exert them excessively. These microtears can also occur if you engage in movements your muscles are not accustomed to, such as new exercise. Eccentric muscle contractions, in which a muscle contracts as it lengthens, are the type most associated with DOMS. Examples of this including descending stairs, running downhill, lowering weights, doing deep squats, and lowering yourself during push-ups.

If you are experiencing hip, buttock, hamstring or sciatic pain then you may be suffering Piriformis Syndrome . Piriformis syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your sciatic nerve is compressed and/or irritated by the piriformis muscle as it passes deeply through your buttock, resulting in pain. Sometimes the condition is called ‘pseudo sciatica’, as it is often confused with pain in the nerve resulting from a low back disc bulge. Your diagnosis of piriformis syndrome should be made after a spinal nerve root compression (eg disc bulge) has been eliminated as a cause of your sciatica symptoms. Where is your Piriformis Muscle? Your piriformis muscle originates mostly from your sacrum (base of spine) to insert on the greater trochanter of the femur (thigh bone). In the standing position, your piriformis muscle is a lateral hip rotator muscle, but it changes to a medial hip rotator in hip flexion due to its orientation.

Flag What happens during inhalation and exhalation? Answer by Mitch Cook Confidence votes 428Inhalation is the process of taking air into the lungs. For this to occur, the air pressure inside the lungs must be lower than that of the external atmosphere as air flows from areas of higher pressure to lower pressure. This is achieved by the contraction of the external intercostal muscles and the relaxation of the internal intercostals which acts to pull the ribcage upwards and outwards, hence, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity. The diaphragm also contracts to extend the cavity further downwards. Due to the function of the pleural membrane, the size of the lungs is increased which, in turn, creates an area of lower air pressure inside the lungs; hence, air is drawn into the lungs. Exhalation is the process of expelling air out of the lungs. For this to occur, the air pressure inside the lungs must be higher than that of the external atmosphere as air flows from areas of higher pressure to ones of lower pressure. This is achieved by the relaxation of the external intercostal muscles which bring the rib cage inwards and the diaphragm bulges upwards (recoiling to its original shape) respectively." } ]

For all air-breathing vertebrates, respiration is handled by the lungs, but these are far from the only components of the respiratory system. In fact, the system is composed of the following biological structures: nose and nasal cavity, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles, lungs and the muscles of respiration. ( 1)A properly functioning respiratory system is a vital part of our good health. Respiratory infections can be acute and sometimes life threatening. They can also be chronic, in which case they place tremendous long term stress on the immune system, endocrine system, HPA axis, and much more.

Carbon dioxide gas (CO2 for short) is a waste product of various body processes. It needs to be expelled from the body via exhalation. For the body to function in a healthy way, there must be both a regular intake of oxygen and the output of carbon dioxide that happens through the breathing process. Inhalation 1,2After breathing in through the nose and/or mouth, the air travels down the windpipe (called the trachea). This airflow continues down the windpipe until it divides into two different breathing tubes that lead separately into each of the two lungs.

In reality, the body stores the excess protein or carbs in a person's diet in form of fat, specifically, as triglyceride molecules, which consist of just three kinds of atoms: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. For people to lose weight, their triglycerides must break up into building blocks, which happens in a process known as oxidation.

Learning Objectives Describe adaptive immunity Key Takeaways Key Points The adaptive immune response provides the vertebrate immune system with the ability to recognize and remember specific pathogens to generate immunity, and mount stronger attacks each time the pathogen is encountered. The cells of the adaptive immune system are a type of leukocyte called a lymphocyte. B cells and T cells are the major types of lymphocytes involved in adaptive immunity. B and T cells can create memory cells to defend against future attacks by the same pathogen by mounting a stronger and faster adaptive immune response against that pathogen before it can even cause symptoms of infection. Antigen -presenting cells present captured antigens to immature lymphocytes, which then mature to be specific to that antigen and work to destroy pathogens that express that antigen. Hypersensitivity disorders (allergies) may occur when an adaptive immune response forms against antigens that aren’t associated with pathogens, such as pollen. More complex hypersensitivity disorders may involve cytotoxic T cells and cause chronic inflammation and damage to the body’s own tissues. Key Termsantigen: A substance that induces an immune response, usually a molecule found on a pathogen such as a toxin or molecule expressed by the pathogen or pathogen-infected cells.hypersensitivity: A disorder in which an adaptive immune response forms memory cells specific to antigens that aren’t associated with pathogens.antigen presenting cell: A cell that presents captured antigens to immature T-cells.

OVERVIEWThe immune system has developed to protect the host from pathogens and other foreign substances. Self/non-self discrimination is one of the hallmarks of the immune system. There are two mains sites where pathogens may reside: extracellularly in tissue spaces or intracellularly within a host cell, and the immune system has different ways of dealing with pathogens at these sites. A. Extracellular pathogens Antibodies are the primary defense against extracellular pathogens and they function in three major ways:1. Neutralization (Figure 1a) By binding to the pathogen or foreign substance antibodies can block the association of the pathogen with their targets. For example, antibodies to bacterial toxins can prevent the binding of the toxin to host cells thereby rendering the toxin ineffective. Similarly, antibody binding to a virus or bacterial pathogen can block the attachment of the pathogen to its target cell thereby preventing infection or colonization. 2. Opsonization (Figure 1b) Antibody binding to a pathogen or foreign substance can opsonize the material and facilitate its uptake and destruction by phagocytic cells." }, { "docid": "D2917996#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_immunity\nAdaptive immune system", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Adaptive immunity)navigation search A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of a single human lymphocyte The adaptive immune system, also known as the acquired immune system or, more rarely, as the specific immune system, is a subsystem of the overall immune system that is composed of highly specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate pathogens or prevent their growth.

Two qualities of influenza account for much of the epidemiological spread of the virus. First, is the ability to emerge and circulate in avian or porcine reservoirs by either genetic reassortment or direct transmission and subsequently spread to humans at irregular intervals. Second, is the fast and unpredictable antigenic change of important immune targets once the virus has become established in a human. A highly contagious virus causing extensive morbidity and major case fatality rates is an archetypal anxiety. Influenza has the potential to create such a scenario. The influenza virus, as a pathogenic agent for humans, has been circulating in the human population since at least the sixteenth century (Cox & Kawaoka 1998) leading to recurrent epidemics of febrile respiratory disease every 1 to 3 years. In addition, each century has seen some pandemics rapidly progressing to involve all parts of the world due to emergence of a novel virus to which the overall population holds no immunity. The characteristics of pandemics include occurrence outside the usual season, extremely rapid transmission with concurrent outbreaks throughout the globe, and high attack rates in all age groups with high mortality rates even in healthy young adults.

Abstract The immune systems of men and women differ in significant ways, especially after puberty. In particular, females are generally more prone to autoimmunity, but experience lower rates of infections and chronic inflammatory disease. Sex hormones, genes encoded on the sex chromosomes, and gender-specific behaviors likely contribute to these differences. The aging process is associated with changes in the composition and function of the immune system and these changes may occur at an accelerated rate in men as compared to women. Moreover, after the age of menopause, the incidence of chronic inflammatory disease in women approaches or exceeds that observed in males. At the same time, the incidence of autoimmunity in post-menopausal women is decreased or equivalent to the rates observed in similarly-aged men. Additional studies addressing the influence of sex on the pathogenesis of chronic and autoimmune diseases in the aged are warranted.

Infant respiratory syncytial virus and rhinovirus infections are known to be associated with an increased risk of asthma development, and among children with prevalent asthma, 85% of asthma exacerbations are associated with viral infections. However, the exact nature of this relationship remains unclear. Is the increase in severity of infections an epiphenomenon, meaning respiratory tract infections just appear to be more severe in patients with underlying respiratory disease, or instead a reflection of altered host susceptibility among persons with asthma and atopic disease? The main focus of this review is to summarize the available levels of evidence supporting or refuting the notion that patients with asthma or atopic disease have an altered susceptibility to selected pathogens, as well as discussing the biological mechanism or mechanisms that might explain such associations. Finally, we will outline areas in need of further research because understanding the relationships between infections and asthma has important implications for asthma prevention and treatment, including potential new pathways that might target the host immune response to select pathogens.

In vertebrates, the immune system is considered the last line of defense against foreign invaders. It fights by destroying pathogens and tumor cells using mechanisms that constantly adapt to recognize and rid these disease causing cells. This mechanism is needed so that the immune system does not attack itself or the organisms healthy cells. Unfortunately, pathogens can evolve rapidly which would allow it to avoid the immune system and attack the host. There are many mechanisms that have evolved that allow for the immune system to recognize and even neutralize pathogens. Every living organism even the most basic unicellular organisms, bacteria, contain some enzyme systems that are used to protect from viral infections." }, { "docid": "D90781#0", "title": "http://www.microbiologybook.org/bowers/immune%20cells.htm\n.", "text": "\"x x INFECTIOUS DISEASEBACTERIOLOGY IMMUNOLOGY MYCOLOGY PARASITOLOGY VIROLOGYVIETNAMESEIMMUNOLOGY - CHAPTER NINECELLS INVOLVED IN IMMUNE RESPONSES AND ANTIGEN RECOGNITIONGene Mayer, Ph.

Used with permission OVERVIEWThe immune system has developed to protect the host from pathogens and other foreign substances. Self/non-self discrimination is one of the hallmarks of the immune system. There are two main sites where pathogens may reside: extracellularly in tissue spaces or intracellularly within a host cell, and the immune system has different ways of dealing with pathogens at these sites. Although immune responses are tailored to the pathogen and to where the pathogen resides, most pathogens can elicit both an antibody and a cell-mediated response, both of which may contribute to ridding the host of the pathogen. However, for any particular pathogen an antibody or a cell-mediated response may be more important for defense against the pathogen. Extracellular pathogens Antibodies are the primary defense against extracellular pathogens and they function in three major ways: Neutralization (Figure 1a) By binding to the pathogen or foreign substance antibodies, can block the association of the pathogen with their targets. For example, antibodies to bacterial toxins can prevent the binding of the toxin to host cells thereby rendering the toxin ineffective. Similarly, antibody binding to a virus or bacterial pathogen can block the attachment of the pathogen to its target cell thereby preventing infection or colonization." }, { "docid": "D733497#0", "title": "https://www.boundless.com/biology/textbooks/boundless-biology-textbook/the-immune-system-42/adaptive-immune-response-234/humoral-immune-response-875-12125/\nAdaptive Immune Response", "text": "Antigen-presenting Cells: B and T cells B and T cells, parts of the adaptive immune response, contain receptors that can identify antigens derived from pathogens. Learning Objectives Explain the role played by B and T cells in the adaptive immune system Key Takeaways Key Points The adaptive immune response is slower to develop than the innate immune response, but it can act much more powerfully and quickly than the innate immune response against pathogens that it has seen before. B and T cells are lymphocytes, or white blood cells, which are able to recognize antigens that distinguish “self” from “other” in the body. B and T cells that recognize “self” antigens are destroyed before they can mature; this helps to prevent the immune system from attacking its own body. Key Terms B cell: a lymphocyte, developed in the bursa of birds and the bone marrow of other animals, that produces antibodies and is responsible for the immune system T cell: a lymphocyte, from the thymus, that can recognize specific antigens and can activate or deactivate other immune cellsantigen: a substance that binds to a specific antibody; may cause an immune response Introduction The adaptive, or acquired, immune response to an initial infection takes days or even weeks to become established, much longer than the innate response. However, adaptive immunity is more specific to an invading pathogen and can fight back much more quickly than the innate response if it has seen the pathogen before. Adaptive immunity occurs after exposure to an antigen either from a pathogen or a vaccination. An antigen is a molecule that binds to a specific antibody, often stimulating a response in the immune system as a result. The adaptive immune response activates when the innate immune response insufficiently controls an infection. In fact, without information from the innate immune system, the adaptive response could not be mobilized." }, { "docid": "D633381#0", "title": "http://blog.delimmune.com/2016/12/inflammation-immune-system-resources/\nInflammation and the Immune System: 50 Guides, Articles, Videos, and Other Resources on How Inflammation Impacts Immune Health", "text": "Inflammation and the Immune System: 50 Guides, Articles, Videos, and Other Resources on How Inflammation Impacts Immune Healthby John Sichel | Last Updated Jun. 8th, 2017Tweet Inflammation involves white blood cells and their substances protecting the body from infection and against invaders like bacteria and viruses. As such, inflammation is an immune system response that helps defend the body. But, when the immune system prompts inflammation to occur even though invaders are not putting the body at risk, the immune system attacks normal tissues as though they are infected or abnormal, and the person develops an autoimmune disease. Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gouty arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, muscular low back pain, and muscular neck pain are associated with unnecessary inflammation. Symptoms of inflammation commonly include redness, swollen areas that may be warm to the touch, joint pain, joint stiffness, and loss of joint function. Some people treat inflammation with anti-inflammatory drugs, but doctors do not always recommend treating inflammation because it may be a necessary immune response. That’s why it’s a good idea to check with your doctor and educate yourself about inflammation and the immune response before taking any medication. To help you learn more about inflammation, it’s causes and its how it relates to the immune system, we have rounded up 50 resources from across the internet. Our resources are from trusted sources and leading publications and authorities on health and include tips for naturally reducing inflammation, knowing when inflammation is a concern, and understanding the connection between inflammation and the immune system. While we have listed our top 50 resources on inflammation and the immune system here in no particular order, we have grouped them by type and included a table of contents so you can easily get to the resources that are of most interest to you." }, { "docid": "D1009106#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innate_lymphoid_cell\nInnate lymphoid cell", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a group of innate immune cells that are derived from common lymphoid progenitor (CLP) and belong to the lymphoid lineage. These cells are defined by absence of antigen specific B or T cell receptor because of the lack of recombination activating gene (RAG). ILCs do not express myeloid or dendritic cell markers. [ 1]This relatively newly described group of cells has varying physiological functions; some functions are analogous to helper T cells, while the group also includes cytotoxic NK cells. Accordingly, they have an important role in protective immunity and the regulation of homeostasis and inflammation, so their dysregulation can lead to immune pathology such as allergy, bronchial asthma and autoimmune disease. [ 2] In addition, they can regulate adipose function and metabolic homeostasis, in part by eliciting beiging.

For each newly discovered branch of the ILC family, it will be important to determine whether a cell type represents a stable lineage or just a stage of differentiation or activation. [ 4] The emerging body of data about the transcription factors and cytokine signals that differentiate ILCs contributes to the evolving classification system used to identify ILCs. In 2013 a nomenclature and classification system was proposed that divides the known ILCs into three groups.

The innate response, which we have discussed previously, functions continuously in a normal host without exposure to any virus. Most viral infections are controlled by the innate immune system. However, if viral replication outpaces innate defenses, the adaptive response must be mobilized. The adaptive defense consists of antibodies and lymphocytes, often called the humoral response and the cell mediated response. The term ‘adaptive’ refers to the differentiation of self from non-self, and the tailoring of the response to the particular foreign invader. The ability to shape the response in a virus-specific manner depends upon communication between the innate and adaptive systems. This communication is carried out by cytokines that bind to cells, and by cell-cell interactions between dendritic cells and lymphocytes in lymph nodes. This interaction is so crucial that the adaptive response cannot occur without an innate immune system. The cells of the adaptive immune system are lymphocytes – B cells and T cells." }, { "docid": "D544513#0", "title": "http://www.cytokines-and-depression.com/chapter4.html\nThe Immune System -- Briefly", "text": "\"Chapter 4The Immune System -- Briefly The medical literature on the immune system is gargantuan.

Many cells of the immune system are fully functional at birth and need no special training. These cells comprise the innate arm of the immune system. Other cells, called lymphocytes, require environmental training to become fully functional. Lymphocytes comprise the adaptive arm (i.e. it adapts to the environment) of the immune system. We will look at the innate arm first. Innate Immunity All organisms, whether they are worms, insects or humans, are born with innate immunity. Innate immunity is essentially a series of unlearned defenses displayed by certain immune cells at birth and continue throughout the life of the organism." } ]
