what types of chemical is ADH | <P> Sources of hormones in humans = the endocrine system [Fig. 37.2] 3. Target cells = cells with receptors for a given chemical messenger that can alter their activities in response to messenger. - Hormones are transported throughout the body by the blood, but they only elicit responses in target cells. <P> Antidiuretic hormone, also called arginine vasopressin (AVP), is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus in the brain and stored in the posterior pituitary gland at the base of the brain. ADH helps regulate water balance in the body. <P> The endocrine system is a collection of glands that secrete chemical messages we call hormones. These signals are passed through the blood to arrive at a target organ, which has cells possessing the appropriate receptor. <P> Both types of diabetes insipidus lead to the excretion of large quantities of dilute urine. A water deprivation ADH stimulation test is sometimes used to distinguish between these types. It involves fluid restriction, an ADH test, and the administration of ADH (vasopressin). <P> ADH deficiency is often seen with one of two types of diabetes insipidus. Central diabetes insipidus is a decrease in the production of ADH by the hypothalamus or in the release of ADH from the pituitary while nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is characterized by a decrease in the kidney's response to ADH. <P> Antidiuretic hormone stimulates water reabsorbtion by stimulating insertion of water channels or aquaporins into the membranes of kidney tubules. These channels transport solute-free water through tubular cells and back into blood, leading to a decrease in plasma osmolarity and an increase osmolarity of urine. <P> Antidiuretic hormone binds to receptors on cells in the collecting ducts of the kidney and promotes reabsorption of water back into the circulation. In the absense of antidiuretic hormone, the collecting ducts are virtually impermiable to water, and it flows out as urine. <P> Hormones secreted by different endocrine glands vary widely in chemical structure. All hormones, however, can be divided into a few chemical classes. 1. Amines. These are hormones derived from the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan. <P> Antidiuretic hormone (ADH): A relatively small (peptide) molecule that is released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain after being made nearby (in the hypothalamus). ADH has an antidiuretic action that prevents the production of dilute urine (and so is antidiuretic). | A relatively small (peptide) molecule that is released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain after being made nearby (in the hypothalamus). |
how did containment work | <P> The Korean War: Containment in Asia. In Asia, as in Europe, Truman tried to contain the spread of communism. The U.S. denied the USSR any hand in the postwar reconstruction of Japan and occupied Japan until 1952, at which point the U.S. officially exited but left troops behind on American military bases. <P> Containment is a military strategy to stop the expansion of an enemy. It is best known as the Cold War policy of the United States and its allies to prevent the spread of communism abroad. In February 1946, the U.S. State Department asked George F. Kennan, then at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, why the Russians opposed the creation of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. <P> America was the captialist superpower and the USSR (Russia) was the communist superpower. The USSR also included most of what we now call east Europe (e.g. East Germany, Polan … d, Lithuania, Georgia, etc.) America 'won' the cold war when Russia gave up communism in 1991 due to economic failures. ___________________________________________________________________. Well, we fought two hot wars under containment: Korea and Vietnam. Containment obviously didn't work in SE Asai where South Vietnam vanished, Cambodia and Laos both went communist. <P> Containment, associated with the American diplomat George F. Kennan, was the central post-war concept of the US and its allies in dealing with the Soviet Union. Containment kept the cold war from being a hot war. What Kennan did, in his famous “Long Telegram” from Moscow in February 1946 and through a briefly anonymous article in Foreign Affairs in 1947 was to lay out a third path between the extremes of war and appeasement—containment. Stalin, he said, is not Hitler. He does not have a fixed timetable for aggression. <P> The US policy of containment, inextricably linked with the domino theory (one country goes communist, they all go communist) led them into one of the worst wars in their history, Vietnam. Containment lead to American administrations accepting a status quo with the Soviet Union and admitting to each having their own sphere of influence in the world. Containment lead to pointless bloody police action wars and spread false hopes over the Eastern Bloc via Radio Free Europe. Case in point: Hungary 1956 <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The China containment policy is a political term referring to a claimed goal of U.S. foreign policy to diminish the economic and political growth of the People’s Republic of China. The term harkens back to the U.S. containment policy against communist countries during the Cold War. The theory asserts that the United States needs a weak, divided China to continue its hegemony in Asia. <P> Yep. Containment worked. ___________________________________________________________________. Well, we fought two hot wars under containment: Korea and Vietnam. Containment obviously didn't work in SE Asai where South Vietnam vanished, Cambodia and Laos both went communist. It's hard to give a clear answer on whether it worked or not. The USSR didn't collapse due to containment. Communist just does not work as an economic model and so it collaps <P> The United States’ policy to stop the spread of communism was known as. Non-proliferation, Containment, Operation Sputnik, The Cold War, or Domino theory. The United States’ policy to stop the spread of communism was known as: Domino theory, Non-proliferation, Containment, or Operation Sputnik. | It leads to American administrations accepting a status quo with the Soviet Union and admitting to each having their own sphere of influence in the world. |
what is AMH diagnosis | <P> Anti-Muellerian müllerian (HORMONE) amh is not a routinely ordered test but may be useful in specific. CIRCUMSTANCES amh is a hormone produced by reproductive. Tissues its role and the amount normally present varies depending upon sex and. age Anti-Muellerian müllerian (HORMONE) amh is not a routinely ordered test but may be useful in specific. circumstances <P> Anti-Muellerian müllerian (HORMONE) amh is not a routinely ordered test but may be useful in specific. CIRCUMSTANCES amh is a hormone produced by reproductive. tissues Anti-Muellerian müllerian (HORMONE) amh is not a routinely ordered test but may be useful in specific. circumstances <P> For this purpose, it is typically ordered along with other hormone tests and a transvaginal ultrasound (to count the number of follicles as a reflection of the woman's egg supply). An AMH test may be used to evaluate polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) . AMH may be elevated due to the increased number of follicles present. Some ovarian cancers produce increased levels of AMH. Anti-Muellerian müllerian (HORMONE) amh is not a routinely ordered test but may be useful in specific. circumstances <P> AMH/MIS may be used in the investigation of ovarian reserve and the perimenopausal transition in women; the detection and onset of puberty in the young, the differential diagnosis of intersex disorders; the diagnosis of cryptorchidism and anorchidism, and the evaluation of male gonadal function in all ages. <P> One of the most significant things that makes AMH a good test is the fact that it is produced directly from the follicles found within the ovaries. What better way of trying to assess ovarian reserve (egg supply) status than by measuring a hormone produced directly from the oocytes that make up the ovarian reserve. Testing Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels provides an indirect measurement of a woman’s egg supply which is also known as <P> Confirm diagnosis of premature ovarian failure: AMH levels are low or absent. 4. Predict likelihood of IVF success: AMH levels correlate positively with number of retrieved oocytes 1; low AMH levels predict a lower likelihood of follicle response. However in the cycling female, AMH is secreted by preantral and small antral follicles in the ovary, and circulating levels positively correlate with the number of remaining ovarian follicles. Thus, AMH levels reflect ovarian reserve (ie, the number of primordial follicles present). <P> Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a protein hormone produced by granulosa cells (cells lining the egg sacs or follicles) within the ovary. AMH can be measured in the blood at any time in the menstrual cycle as it is stable throughout the cycle. It is a marker for ovarian (egg) reserve. With the availability of AMH blood test, it is not necessary to subject a woman through a standard stimulated cycle unnecessarily for diagnosis of her ovarian response. Treatment options can be either Natural (no stimulating drugs) or Stimulated IVF. <P> SUMMARY ANSWER: AMH may be a good substitute for polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) in diagnosing PCOS. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: AMH has been suggested as an alternative to antral follicle count (AFC) in diagnosing PCOS. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: AMH may be a good substitute for PCOM in diagnosing PCOS.

is walk in cooler a medium temperature or low temperature refrigeration | <P> Ref 101 LOW TEMPERATURE REFRIGERATION (12 HRS). This course introduces specific pump-down controls. Students will complete piping and wiring a real walk-in freezer, pressurizing, leak checking, vacuuming, as well as refrigerant charging. <P> The refrigeration system in that event was likely rated for general purpose and the humidity damaged the packaging which was an important aspect of the purchase in order to get it out the door. We control the humidity in a space by manipulating the temperature of the cooling coil. <P> A walk in cooler moves heat from the box to the space around the condenser. Typical temperature ranges are from 35 degrees Fahrenheit to 41 degrees. Below 35 degrees a forced defrost cycle is needed to avoid freeze ups. <P> This course includes the basic refrigeration cycle, application of low, medium and high temperature systems, and the typical equipment associated with those systems and basic wiring of controls, such as thermostatic expansion valves, capillary tubes, and defrost clocks and defrost systems. <P> This is a comprehensive training program in Refrigeration Equipment Repair and Maintenance. It covers the basic principles of low, medium, and high temperature refrigeration systems. It emphasizes the differences that refrigeration and comfort cooling systems have. <P> Fortunately floral applications benefit from high humidity because in order to do the work with only a gentle breeze, we increase the size of the coil which inadvertently raises the coil temperature. As such, the proper conditions are obtained. This article is courtesy of Austin Industrial Refrigeration. <P> Leave a comment. Flowers do best with High Humidity and Low Velocity refrigeration Aside from the box temperature, other considerations that are particular to medium temperature applications (walk-in coolers & refrigerators) are the air velocity and humidity of the refrigerated space. <P> Here are some general guidelines for temperature ranges based on the type of refrigeration unit you have: 1 Reach-In Refrigerators 35F to 38F. 2 Walk-In Refrigerators 35F to 38F. 3 Reach-In Freezers +5F to -10F. 4 Walk-In Freezers 0F to -10F. 5 Ice Cream Freezers -10F to -20F. | Medium temperature |
average lifespan of a friesian horse | <P> This approximates to 68 inches to the withers of the horse. Average height for horse breeds is 15.2 hands or 60.8 inches. Therefore, the Friesian Horse is taller than most horse breeds. Weight: The Friesian Horse weighs 1,450 pounds, which is 425 pounds heavier than the average horse breed. <P> Just for the heck of it, I googled 'lifespan of Friesian horses.' The first three references mentioned how long lived they are, mentioning a lifespan of 25 years. <P> Fire Magic is an example of a chestnut Friesian. The Friesian's average height is about 15.3 hands (1.60 m), although it may vary from 14.2 to 17 hands (between 1.5 m and 1.7 m) tall at the withers, and mares must be at least 15.2 hands (1.57 m) tall to qualify for its special 'star-designation' pedigree. It has a spectacular trot, both fast and high-stepping. <P> If a horse is completely healthy yes, it might live to be 40 years old, but that is a stretch. Biological factors, riding accidents, illnesses/diseases, etc. make it very hard for a horse to live for that many years. The average lifespan is 20-30 years old, depending as you said on the horse's health. <P> Best Answer: They are beautiful i love them!! About Friesians Background The Friesian horse is unique, truly a breed to be proud of. It developed from a very old breed which was inherent to all of western Europe. It's the only horse native to Holland. <P> The Friesian's average height is about 15.3 hh (63 inches or 1.60 m), although it may vary from 14.2 to 17 hh (between 58 in./1.5 m and 68 in./1.7 m) tall at the withers, and mares or geldings must be at least 15.2 hh (1.57 m) tall to qualify for a 'star-designation' pedigree. <P> SIZE. The Friesian's average height is about 15.3 hh (63 inches or 1.60 m), although it may vary from 14.2 to 17 hh (between 58 in./1.5 m and 68 in./1.7 m) tall at the withers, and mares or geldings must be at least 15.2 hh (1.57 m) tall to qualify for a 'star-designation' pedigree. WEIGHT. <P> I would say that the average height of the Friesian today is around 16hh, this can vary from 14.2hh (1.5m) to 17hh (1.70m), although it is becoming increasingly difficult to find Friesian’s under 15.1hh. Gentle, docile, affectionate are just a few ways to describe the Friesian horses temperament. | Average 25 years. |

water consumption per hour hiking | <P> 1 I pre-hydrate by drinking a liter of water just before I start hiking because carrying water inside you is lighter than carrying water on your back! 2 I start out with 2 liters and drink about 1 pint every hour. 3 I plan my route carefully so I know where there is water if I run out, and can carry more if necessary. It depends on how available it is. Even when it’s plentiful I still prefer to carry a quart in a Nalgene and a 100 oz Camelbk bladder. Last summer I was doing some hiking in some higher elevations that had no water. It was probably in the 80’s that day. <P> Keep the water coming into your body even if you don't really feel very thirsty. If you are hiking, you are losing moisture and you need to replenish it. By the end of a 4-hour hike, you should have drunk both quarts of water and you should be able to use the toilet. If you don't need to, then all that water came out as perspiration and you still need to drink more water to stay hydrated. After a hike, you should drink additional water until you need to use the toilet. I don't mean chug it down, I mean drink a 1/2 cup or so every 5 minutes or so. Water is THE most critical survival item-whether in the wild or at home. Rule of 3 : You'll have air to breathe unless you're under water or in a cave-in <P> Water is one of the heaviest things in your backpack at at 2 pounds per liter it can really weigh you down if you carry to0 much of it when you don’t need to. I used to do this all of the time, first as a day hiker and then later as a backpacker. It depends on how available it is. Even when it’s plentiful I still prefer to carry a quart in a Nalgene and a 100 oz Camelbk bladder. Last summer I was doing some hiking in some higher elevations that had no water. It was probably in the 80’s that day. <P> DAN: I cannot stress enough the importance of carrying the right amount of water. You should drink at least half a liter of water per mile, and more if you are going uphill or if you are in a very hot area. You should always carry between four and six liters of water with you, unless you are going on a very short hike. <P> You can lose up to two quarts (almost 2 litre) of water per hour hiking in the desert in middle of the day, but you can only absorb around one quart (almost one litre) per hour, so that's the minimum you should shoot for if you're planning a hike. share | improve this answer. edited Apr 21 '13 at 16:37. I don't like carrying more than 1 gallon of water, so I plan my hikes accordingly. Depending on where exactly and the weather that day, that can be good enough for a all-day hike of 8 hours or more, or only 4 hours in some cases. <P> @LBell The same site also says Drink one-half to one full quart of water or sports drink each and every hour you are hiking in the heat.. At the one liter per hour mark, a gallon only lasts four hours. I don't like carrying more than 1 gallon of water, so I plan my hikes accordingly. Depending on where exactly and the weather that day, that can be good enough for a all-day hike of 8 hours or more, or only 4 hours in some cases. <P> In warm months each hiker should carry and drink about a gallon (4 liters) of water per day. Watch your ins and outs. Drink enough so that urine frequency, clarity, and volume are normal. You are not drinking enough water if your urine is dark, small in quantity, or non-existent in the course of a day's hiking. Your body can absorb only about one quart of fluid per hour. Drink one-half to one full quart of water or sports drink each and every hour you are hiking in the heat. Carry your water bottle in your hand and drink small amounts often. 1 Water Bottles. 2 Water Purification. 3 Water Filters. <P> Report Abuse. To maintain proper hydration you should consume approximately 1 quart/liter per hour while backpacking. That may seem like a lot, but you lose a lot of water while carrying a typical backpacking load of 25-30 pounds. In all honesty, I can't even say I am that religious about keeping my 1-quart-an-hour. To answer your question, your water requirements will depend on how much you need for hydration, preparing meals and cleaning food preparation utensils(pots,pans.forks). I normally drink about 2 litres per day so it would not be practical for me to carry enough water for a multi-day trip, way too heavy. <P> How much water you should drink depends on three main factors: climate, your level of exertion and your own individual needs. 1 Climate: When hiking in hot and/or humid conditions, one litre per hour is generally recommended. 1 Climate: When hiking in hot and/or humid conditions, one litre per hour is generally recommended. 2 Same goes for altitude, where although the temperature may be cooler, the air is drier and thinner. 3 In milder conditions at lower altitudes, half of the above mentioned quantity should normally suffice. | One litre per hour, |

what is the difference between swahili and kiswahili | <P> Whereas Kiswahili only refers to the language, the word Swahili is also used to designate the culture of the inhabitants of the East African coastEast African coastThis is the coastal strip stretching from southern Somalia to northern Mozambique. and the people who speak the language. , the Institute of Kiswahili Studies. There are various sources of neologisms (i.e. new words). To start with, TATAKI checks whether a missing Swahili word does have a semantic equivalent in any of the vernacular languages. <P> Basically, Sheng is a new colloquial Swahili variation spoken mostly by young people in Nairobi. It is admixed with a concoction of Swahili, English and vernacular languages in Kenya. However, the grammar used is mostly as in Swahili. , the Institute of Kiswahili Studies. There are various sources of neologisms (i.e. new words). To start with, TATAKI checks whether a missing Swahili word does have a semantic equivalent in any of the vernacular languages. <P> Due to the fact that Swahili covers an extensive geographic area, regional differences and dialects did arise a nd the most wide-spread regional variants are those spoken in East and Central Africa. The differences include accent, vocabulary, spelling and grammar. An example from Lubumbashi ... , the Institute of Kiswahili Studies. There are various sources of neologisms (i.e. new words). To start with, TATAKI checks whether a missing Swahili word does have a semantic equivalent in any of the vernacular languages. <P> The explanation is simple: Swahili is the English term for the Swahili language, while Kiswahili is the Swahili language term for the Swahili language. When writing in English, we use the word Swahili, and when writing in Swahili, we use Kiswahili.. If you visit the version of this site written in the Swahili language, you will find that we use the term Kiswahili throughout. When Swahili speakers talk about the English language while speaking Swahili, they use the term Kiingereza .. Some people choose to use the term Kiswahili to refer to the Swahili language, even when they are talking in English. <P> Swahili, or Kiswahili, belongs to the larger Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family. 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. 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. <P> Swahili is spoken by 15.5 million people as a first or as a second language (Ethnologue). Along with English, it is the official language of Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda, and is the only African language of the African Union. Swahili is also spoken in Burundi, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, and the U.S. (Ethnologue) . 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. <P> As is the case with all Bantu languages, a lot of specific vocabulary in the fields of science, technology, politics, psychology etc does not have vernacular equivalents. But because Kiswahili is also used as a medium of instruction in many Tanzanian schools, there was a need for such vocabulary to be formulated. , the Institute of Kiswahili Studies. There are various sources of neologisms (i.e. new words). To start with, TATAKI checks whether a missing Swahili word does have a semantic equivalent in any of the vernacular languages. <P> Nothing, absolutely nothing. Some schools of thought say that Swahili refers to the culture and the language whereas Kiswahili refers to strictly the language. IN ADDITION: Kiswahili is the Swahili word for language, and Swahili is the form used in English and many other languages. But they mean the same thing: the language spoken by the Swahili people (and by millions of others,, too). In Swahili, a Swahili person is Mswahili (pl., Waswahili), and the Swahili culture is utamaduni wa kiswahili, referring to the coastal people along the Indian Ocean in East Africa and the nearby islands. | Swahili refers to the culture and the language whereas Kiswahili refers to strictly the language. |
are trade paperbacks worth anything | <P> Modern paperbacks can be differentiated by size. In the US there are mass-market paperbacks and larger trade paperbacks . In the UK, there are A-format, B-format and the largest C-format sizes. Paperback editions of books are issued when a publisher decides to release a book in a low-cost format. A trade paperback, sometimes referred to as a trade paper edition or just trades, is a large-sized paperback book. <P> In the meantime, a dozen copies of the identical book (the same edition & condition) may have been sold by other dealers for just $50. So, $50 will be closer to the actual “value” of the book. A book is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Each book that’s published, of course, has a first edition. And that’s often the only edition. However, for a first edition to have value, there must be a demand for it. If not, the fact that it’s a first edition doesn’t matter. Some books are published in such huge quantities that first editions are very common <P> 17. B esides the typical hardcover, trade paperback and mass-market paperback editions commonly found in stores, there are other editions that you may, or may not, want to consider. These include large print, audio books, translations, ex-library copies. In most cases, these editions are not worth much to collectors. So, according to that, it is the second trade paperback edition. No, it is the first trade paperback edition released but the second edition of the book, since the author added a significant amount of material to the text for the trade paperback release. <P> Unity 0 red and Chaos Effect Alpha red both sell for between $40 and $80. The Chaos Effect Alpha Red (or CEAR, as it is affectionately known), tends to be worth a little more than Unity 0 red. In addition to these red variants, there are blue variants of a few of the trade paperbacks. Gold and V.V.S.S. books. The gold logo books were incentive books that Valiant gave to people for supporting or promoting Valiant. These are worth about $10 to $20 each. The stand outs are the first gold logo books printed, Archer & Armstrong 0 gold, and Eternal Warrior 1 gold, especially the flat version. <P> Traditionally, a trade paperback will reproduce the stories at the same size as they were originally presented in comic book format. However, certain trades have been published in a smaller, digest-sized format, similar in size to a paperback novel. For many years, trade paperbacks were mainly used to reprint older comic-book stories that were no longer available to the average reader, when original copies of those stories were scarce and hard to find, and often very expensive when found due to their rarity. <P> Unlike the individual issues, trade paperbacks usually have no particular value to collectors, as they are reprints (which lack the historical significance of the original publication), and they are often kept in print (thus readily available new). For many years, trade paperbacks were mainly used to reprint older comic-book stories that were no longer available to the average reader, when original copies of those stories were scarce and hard to find, and often very expensive when found due to their rarity. <P> (June 2010). In comics, a trade paperback (often shortened to TPB, TP or trade) is a collection of stories originally published in comic books, reprinted in book format, usually capturing one story arc from a single title or a series of stories with a connected story arc or common theme from one or more titles. For many years, trade paperbacks were mainly used to reprint older comic-book stories that were no longer available to the average reader, when original copies of those stories were scarce and hard to find, and often very expensive when found due to their rarity. <P> Pre-Unity Books. The only regular edition Valiant comics that are worth anything are the pre-Unity issues, and the last few issues of each series. By “regular edition”, I mean the normal copy of the book that hit newsstands and comic racks. Not the gold logo books or the V.V.S.S. The pre-Unity books are: 1 Magnus, Robot Fighter 0-14.

what is mosquito coil | <P> Mosquito coils are basically nothing but mosquito repellants which are made into a product to be used at home or any other close place. This is usually burnt and smoke is produced which helps in keeping mosquitoes away from us or entering the house. It is a very well known fact that mosquitoes kills more people than even sharks do every year. To be more specific, mosquitoes kills thousands every year all over the world and it is a very grave issue for all of us who live around these insects who are so dangerous. <P> A mosquito coil is a mosquito repelling incense, usually shaped into a spiral, and typically made from a dried paste of pyrethrum powder. The coil is usually held at the center of the spiral, suspending it in the air, or wedged by two pieces of fireproof nettings to allow continuous smoldering. Burning usually begins at the outer end of the spiral and progresses slowly toward the centre of the spiral, producing a mosquito-repellent smoke. Active ingredients found in mosquito coils may include: 1 Pyrethrum-a natural, powdered material from a kind of chrysanthemum plant; performance moderate. 2 Pyrethrins-an extract of the insecticidal chemicals in pyrethrum. 3 Allethrin-sometimes d-trans-allethrin, the first synthetic pyrethroid. <P> To use a mosquito coil, you first place it in a holder to keep it safe and off the ground where it can get air to burn. Simple holders are often included with the coils, but some people get quite particular about what they use to contain their coils, with pig-shaped ceramic holders being a perennial favorite. I vaguely remember seeing the occasional mosquito coil when I was growing up in the United States but most people used bug spray and citronella candles. Mosquito coils were actually invented in Japan, at the end of the 19th century. A man named Ueyama Eiichiro was in the business of exporting mandarin oranges when Fukuzawa Yukichi, the famous author, statesman and founder of Keio University, introduced him to a seed trader in the United States <P> These coils have helped several thousands of people every year in protecting themselves from these harmful mosquitoes. But there is a downside to everything and the smoke from these coils have proven to be pretty harmful as well as it cause suffocation! It is a very well known fact that mosquitoes kills more people than even sharks do every year. To be more specific, mosquitoes kills thousands every year all over the world and it is a very grave issue for all of us who live around these insects who are so dangerous. <P> These are the usual ingredients used in preparing a mosquito coil. These are put into a mosquito coil making machine and mixed together to get a mosquito coil which is used to get rid of mosquitoes very efficiently. These ingredients are poisonous and so they have their harmful effects on humans as well. It is a very well known fact that mosquitoes kills more people than even sharks do every year. To be more specific, mosquitoes kills thousands every year all over the world and it is a very grave issue for all of us who live around these insects who are so dangerous. <P> Dear Scott, Those mosquito coils are called katori senkō (mosquito-killing incense), and like you, I strongly associate them with summer in Japan, right up there with kakikōri (shaved ice) and the Koshien, the high-school baseball championship that takes over Japanese television for two weeks every August. I vaguely remember seeing the occasional mosquito coil when I was growing up in the United States but most people used bug spray and citronella candles. Mosquito coils were actually invented in Japan, at the end of the 19th century. A man named Ueyama Eiichiro was in the business of exporting mandarin oranges when Fukuzawa Yukichi, the famous author, statesman and founder of Keio University, introduced him to a seed trader in the United States <P> My conclusion: Mosquito coil smoke is highly toxic to humans and should be avoided. 1 In the evenings or wherever mosquitoes are prevalent during the day, keep your body covered in light-colored clothing and spray insect repellent onto exposed extremities. Burning a mosquito coil while you sleep is not a good idea. Mind you, this is exactly what Thai TV commercials urge the locals to do: one such advertisement shows a group of smiling Thai kids singing about virtues of mosquito coil smoke. <P> Pyrethrum was used for centuries as an insecticide in Persia and Europe, and the mosquito coil was developed around the 1890s by a Japanese business man, Eiichiro Ueyama. At that time in Japan, people usually mixed pyrethrum powder with sawdust and burned it in a brazier or incense burner to repel mosquitoes. Active ingredients found in mosquito coils may include: 1 Pyrethrum-a natural, powdered material from a kind of chrysanthemum plant; performance moderate. 2 Pyrethrins-an extract of the insecticidal chemicals in pyrethrum. 3 Allethrin-sometimes d-trans-allethrin, the first synthetic pyrethroid. | It is a mosquito repelling incense, usually shaped into a spiral, and typically made from a dried paste of pyrethrum powder. |

where are the body organs of a mollusk located | <P> Mollusks also have a radula or file-like organ for feeding, a mantle that may secrete a shell, and a muscular foot for locomotion. Clams are marine mollusks with two valves or shells. Like all mollusks, a clam has a mantle which surrounds its soft body. It also has a muscular foot which enables the clam to burrow itself in mud or sand. The soft tissue above the foot is called the visceral mass and contains the clam's body organs. <P> Body Plan. Mollusks have a thin layer of tissue called the mantle. The mantle covers the body organs, which are located in the visceral mass. Between the soft body and the mantle is a space called the mantle cavity. Mollusks contain gills. Gills are organs in which carbon dioxide from the mollusk is exchanged for oxygen in the water. <P> In general, mollusks have 3 body regions: a head, a visceral mass, and a foot.. The head contains the sense organs and brain, while the visceral mass contains the internal organs. The foot is the muscular lower part of the body which is in contact with the substrate. Mollusks usually have a shell (although some do not). <P> • The visceral mass is the central section of the mollusk’s body that contains the mollusk’s organs. • Outside of the visceral mass is a heavy fold of tissue called the mantle that forms the outer layer of the body and that secretes the mollusk’s shell. | A head, A visceral mass, and A foot |
what does the brimstone symbol mean | <P> 1 The symbol that represents Brimstone is known as the Leviathan Cross, the alchemical symbol for Sulfur. 2 Due to Sulfur's association with hell, it is also used as a satanic symbol. 3 Horns resembling Brimstone's own were added to Team Fortress 2 on the December 3rd, 2014 patch. Trivia. 1 According to the Bible, Brimstone, which is possibly the ancient name for sulfur, evokes the acrid odor of volcanic activity. 2 It is used in conjunction with Fire in an idiomatic expression of signs of God's Wrath, often appearing in reference to the fate of the unfaithful. <P> The Leviathan Cross is sometimes referred to as Crux Satanus, which means the Satan Cross. Depicted on the bottom is an infinity sign (∞), and above is a double cross (‡). The Double cross symbolizes protection and balance between male and female. The infinity sign most likely means eternal rest/happiness, this may have been used by Anton Lavey in The Satanic Bible to represent that Hell, the kingdom of Satan, was actually an afterlife of pleasure, balance, and truth, while Christianity is a religion based off of corruption and lies. <P> (In some views, sulfur and salt are the parents of Mercury) The symbol of sulfur is often used as an identifying symbol by Satanists, due to sulphur’s historical asociation with the devil. A type of balance, which is what I strife to understand. Plus in alchemy, sulphur is read as one of the three primes: Sulfur (fluid connection between the High and the Low). Even though the actual symbol apparently is a triangle on top of a cross, LaVey had a reason to adopt it, and it fits. <P> 1 According to the Bible, Brimstone, which is possibly the ancient name for sulfur, evokes the acrid odor of volcanic activity. 2 It is used in conjunction with Fire in an idiomatic expression of signs of God's Wrath, often appearing in reference to the fate of the unfaithful. Trivia. 1 <P> Sulfur (“Leviathan Cross”). A symbol for the alchemical element Sulfur, (Brimstone) which is spiritually analogous to the human soul. Alchemically, sulfur has the qualities of masculine, hot and dry. Combined with Mercury (feminine, cool and moist), the pair were considered the parents of all metals. A type of balance, which is what I strife to understand. Plus in alchemy, sulphur is read as one of the three primes: Sulfur (fluid connection between the High and the Low). Even though the actual symbol apparently is a triangle on top of a cross, LaVey had a reason to adopt it, and it fits. <P> Fire and brimstone (or, alternatively, brimstone and fire, translated from the Hebrew גפרית ואש) is an idiomatic expression of signs of God's wrath in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and the New Testament. In the Bible, they often appear in reference to the fate of the unfaithful. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever (Revelation 20:10, KJV). <P> brim'-ston, brim'-stun (gophrith; to theion): The word translated brimstone probably referred originally to the pitch of trees, like the cypress. By analogy it has been rendered brimstone because of the inflammability of both substances. Sulphur existed in Palestine in early times and was known by most of the ancient nations as a combustible substance. The figurative use of the word brimstone to denote punishment and destruction is illustrated by such passages as Deuteronomy 29:23; Job 18:15; Psalms 11:6; Isaiah 30:33; Ezekiel 38:22; Luke 17:29; Revelation 9:17. <P> 1 Fire and brimstone. 2 The symbol that represents Brimstone is known as the Leviathan Cross, the alchemical symbol for Sulfur. 3 Due to Sulfur's association with hell, it is also used as a satanic symbol. 4 Horns resembling Brimstone's own were added to Team Fortress 2 on the December 3rd, 2014 patch.

Brimstone means, burning stone or, the stone that burns.. At left is a picture of brimstones and powdered brimstone. When a plain brimstone (like those to the left) is exposed to the air, nothing happens--but if a match is put to it, it will burn in a peculiar way, like a liquid fire, and it emits noxious fumes. The stone melts like wax but the dripping is a peculiar thick fire, like a piece of wax on fire. <P> An upside-down crucifix, however, is not a symbol of Satanism. That would be referred to as The Cross of St. Peter which was a key symbol to the religion of Lutheranism, which is a sub-religion of Christianity.

what is a design control system | <P> Design Controls designates the application of a formal methodology to the conduct of product development activities. It is often mandatory (by regulation) to implement such practice when designing and developing products within regulated industries (e.g. Medical devices). <P> Industrial control systems are used in industrial production for controlling equipment or machines. There are two common classes of control systems, open loop control systems and closed loop control systems. In open loop control systems output is generated based on inputs. In closed loop control systems current output is taken into consideration and corrections are made based on feedback. A closed loop system is also called a feedback control system. The human body is a classic example of feedback systems. <P> Once you have the information on how well the system is performing, you have to do something with that information. The problem the control system designer faces is to determine how to use the information available to develop and apply a control signal that will make the system do what he or she wants it to do. At this point in these lessons that what you are just starting to learn. <P> A control system is a device, or set of devices, that manages, commands, directs or regulates the behavior of other devices or systems. <P> What is clear is that if you want to control a system, you need to know what you want it to do, and you need to know how well it is doing. That implies a couple of things. First, you need to know what you want the system to do. There are lots of ways you can do that. <P> The design control requirements of Section 820.30 of the regulation apply to the design of Class II and III medical devices, and a select group of Class I devices. The regulation is very flexible in the area of design controls. | The application of a formal methodology to the conduct of product development activities. |
what is ligand receptor technology | <P> A conceptual new approach for ligand-receptor capture on the living cell. Ligand receptor capture LRC-TriCEPS™ is a conceptually new technology to analyse the protein interaction of your biologics. We can identify the targets of your protein, antibody and peptide at the cell surface. Ligand-receptor capture technology can be used for many types of orphan ligands, such as peptides, proteins, antibodies, engineered affinity binders but also for viruses. Orphan ligands: 1 Extracellular proteins. 2 Peptide ligands. 3 Antibodies. 4 Engineered affinity binders. 5 Viruses. <P> Box 1: Notch receptor and ligand domains and isoforms. Notch receptors and ligands are single-pass transmembrane receptors that, in the classical view of canonical Notch signalling, mediate cell-contact-dependent cell signalling. The cell on which the receptor is expressed. Canonical Notch signalling is seen as a uni-directional signalling pathway in which the ligand is expressed on one cell, which 'sends' the signal, and the receptor is expressed on a contacting cell, which 'receives' the signal. (EMT). <P> Ligand receptors are specialized molecules on the surface of cells that allow certain small molecules to bind to them, inducing a chemical change inside the cell. For simplicity, ligand receptors are usually referred to as receptors, while the small molecules that bind to them are called ligands. Ligands are diverse in size and composition, and there are many classes of receptors specialized to handle them. <P> A detection method is used to determine the presence and extent of the ligand-receptor complexes formed, and this is usually determined electrochemically or through a fluourescence method. Non specific binding refers to the binding of a ligand to something other than its designated receptor such as various other receptors, or different types of transporters in the cell membrane. For example, various antagonists can bind to multiple types receptors. <P> Video how the LRC-TriCEPS™ technology works. LRC-TriCEPS™ (CaptiRec) is a novel approach which enables the identification of cell surface receptors and off-targets on the living cells for a wide range of orphan ligands, such as: 1 Peptides. Principle of LRC-TriCEPS™-based. LRC-TriCEPS™ (CaptiRec) is a fast and sensitive approach to discover cell surface N-glycosylated receptors for a ligand of interest: 1 Label ligand with the TriCEPS™ chemoproteomic reagent. 2 Activate target cells or native tissue to oxidize cell surface glycans. <P> Specific binding refers to the binding of a ligand to a receptor, and it is possible that there is more than one specific binding site for one ligand. Non specific binding refers to the binding of a ligand to something other than its designated receptor such as various other receptors, or different types of transporters in the cell membrane. For example, various antagonists can bind to multiple types receptors. <P> Ligand Binding Assays (LBA) is an assay, or an analytic procedure, whose procedure or method relies on the binding of ligand molecules to receptors, antibodies or other macromolecules. Non specific binding refers to the binding of a ligand to something other than its designated receptor such as various other receptors, or different types of transporters in the cell membrane. For example, various antagonists can bind to multiple types receptors. <P> A molecule that binds to a receptor is called a ligand, and can be a peptide (short protein) or another small molecule such as a neurotransmitter, hormone, pharmaceutical drug, toxin, or parts of the outside of a virus or microbe. 3.

what city did hurricane katrina hit first | <P> Hurricane Katrina: Before the Storm. The tropical depression that became Hurricane Katrina formed over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005, and meteorologists were soon able to warn people in the Gulf Coast states that a major storm was on its way. Hurricane Katrina: Storm and Flooding. By the time Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans early in the morning on Monday, August 29, it had already been raining heavily for hours. When the storm surge (as high as 9 meters in some places) arrived, it overwhelmed many of the city’s unstable levees and drainage canals. <P> 1 New Orleans survived Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005 - then the levees broke the next day to flood the city. 2 False: All levees breached before 10:00 AM on the morning of August 29, 2005! 3 Mississippi River levees (or Lakefront levees) breached. <P> Early in the morning on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of the United States. When the storm made landfall, it had a Category 3 rating on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale–it brought sustained winds of 100–140 miles per hour–and stretched some 400 miles across.

It was the costliest natural disaster, as well as one of the five deadliest hurricanes, in the history of the United States. Although Hurricane Katrina made landfall well to the west, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle were both affected by tropical-storm force winds and a storm surge varying from 12 to 16 feet (3.7–4.9 m) around Mobile Bay, with higher waves on top. <P> When Did Hurricane Katrina Hit. Katrina was first upgraded to Tropical Storm status on August 24, 2005, and it was given its name. It only just make it to a category one hurricane before it crossed the coast of Florida early morning August 25. Hurricane Katrina hit around 6:10 a.m. on August 29, 2005 near the Louisiana/Mississippi borderline…and they say there was around 1,836 fatalities (deaths) after the hurricane powered down into a tropical depressions then to a storm and eventually died out! :G.

how do you return a pointer in c | <P> C++ Examples: Returning a Pointer. Instead of a regular value or even a reference, a function can return a pointer. You can start to specify this by typing the * operator on the left side of the function's name. Here is an example: Then, use the body of the function to define it. <P> Returning a pointer from a function is especially fraught with risk, because the pointer is initialized in a totally different piece of code (that's often not even visible to the caller), and the callers do not know how to treat the result. A good documentation for such functions is very important. <P> To do so, you would have to declare a function returning a pointer as in the following example: Second point to remember is that, it is not good idea to return the address of a local variable to outside of the function so you would have to define the local variable as static variable. <P> Rather than returning an array with return (newArray) , you return a pointer to the first element of newArray. The problem is that you're allocating the array the wrong way. If you instantiate it with int newArray[n] , memory gets allocated on the current stack frame. <P> When returning a pointer from a function, do not return a pointer that points to a value that is local to the function or that is a pointer to a function argument. Pointers to local variables become invalid when the function exits. In the above function, the value returned points to a static variable. | Instead of a regular value or even a reference, a function can return a pointer.

how long do domestic cats live | <P> Most of our cats have not made it quite that long. Answering your question, how long do cats live, I'll take an average of all the indoor cats we owned and cared for. The average age of our personal house cats lifespan has been 17 years of happy and healthy living. The following is from my own experience from owning cats for over 35 years. Generally speaking, we had one cat live to the ripe old age of 20. She holds the household record to this day. <P> Several large domestic cats have been known to live for well over 30 years. Those kept in zoo's often live much longer than their wild outside relatives. The following is from my own experience from owning cats for over 35 years. Generally speaking, we had one cat live to the ripe old age of 20. She holds the household record to this day. <P> Statistics indicate that the life span of an indoor cat is much longer than an outdoor cat. On average, an indoor cat lives 9 - 15 years but some cats can live for as many as twenty years. In comparison, an outdoor cat’s life expectancy is less than five years. Increasing longevity: There are many factors that play a part in determining how long a cat will live. Genetics play a role of course. <P> Average life expectancy for cats depends on whether your cat is an indoor or an outdoor cat. Domestic cats live from 12-18 years, depending on whether they are Siamese, Himalayan, Persian or Bengal cats. In general, cats can have long, healthy lives if given proper nutrition and veterinary attention. On average, they age from 12-20 years. A study found that to increase life expectancy, spaying and neutering can be considered. The study showed that neutered male cats live twice as long as intact males, while female ones which were spayed live 62% longer than intact male <P> Average life span for indoor cats – 15 years. Average life span for outdoor cats – 3 to 5 years. Once she is between 8 and 10 years old (and this number is debated – both lower and a bit higher), she should be treated as a senior cat. <P> Indoor pets tend to live a few years longer than outdoor. Cats that are spayed/neutered have an expetancy of 2-5 years longer. Diet can effect the lifespan as well. Generally DSH cats don't usually have any regular health conditions, and they can live up to 30 years or so. Anywhere from 8-20 years. If the cat is indoor only, probably the longer life. If it's outside, I think the average is 2-5 years (cuz there's so many things that can happen to them outside). But many people have long-lived outdoor cats. <P> Domestic cats typically live 14 to 20 years, though the oldest known cat lived to age 36. The oldest cat lived from 1903 to 1939. The average lifespan of a cat is ar … ound 15 - 17 years. Cats have been known to live to 20 years or more, but it really depends on the health of the cat and how well it is taken care of. 10 people found this useful. <P> Life expectancy depends on many things, including one important factor-whether your cat is an indoor-only cat or an outdoor cat. Indoor cats generally live from 12-18 years of age. Many may live to be in their early 20s. The oldest reported cat lived to be an amazing 28 years old. Outdoor cats generally live shorter lives due to being more likely to be involved in traumas such as motor vehicle accidents or dog attacks. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: The average life span of a cat is 12-15 years. Some cats make it to 19, and others can make it up to thirty. It really all depends on if they are altered, live indoors as opposed to outdoors, the food they are fed, overall health, etc. | 14 to 20 years |
what is stress mechanical | <P> Strain Strain is the response of a system to an applied stress. When a material is loaded with a force, it produces a stress, which then causes a material to deform. Engineering strain is defined as the amount of deformation in the direction of the applied force divided by the initial length of the material. <P> The stress or force distribution in the cross section of the bar is not necessarily uniform. Nevertheless, an average shear stress is a reasonable approximation. Stress is the force per unit area on a body that tends to cause it to change shape. Stress is a measure of the internal forces in a body between its particles. These internal forces are a reaction to the external forces applied on the body that cause it to separate, compress or slide. External forces are either surface forces or body forces. <P> In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other, while strain is the measure of the deformation of the material. <P> Mechanical stress: physical condition which exists within any material because of strain or deformation by external forces or by non-uniform thermal expansion. <P> Stress, Mechanical. a measure of internal forces that arise in a body being deformed as a result of external forces. When studying the stress at any point, a section is cut through the point (Figure 1). <P> Tensile stress (or tension) is the stress state leading to expansion; that is, the length of a material tends to increase in the tensile direction. The volume of the material stays constant. When equal and opposite forces are applied on a body, then the stress due to this force is called tensile stress. <P> Definition. Stress is defined as an organism's total response to environmental demands or pressures. When stress was first studied in the 1950s, the term was used to denote both the causes and the experienced effects of these | Physical condition which exists within any material because of strain or deformation by external forces or by non-uniform thermal expansion. |

Side effects of Crestor include headache, depression, muscle aches or pains, joint pain, sleep problems (insomnia or nightmares), constipation, nausea, stomach pain, indigestion, or diarrhea. <P> Rosuvastatin (marketed by AstraZeneca as Crestor) 10 mg tablets. Rosuvastatin, marketed as Crestor, is a member of the drug class of statins, used in combination with exercise, diet, and weight-loss to treat high cholesterol and related conditions, and to prevent cardiovascular disease. It was developed by Shionogi. The primary use of rosuvastatin is for the treatment of dyslipidemia. It is recommended to be used only after other measures such as diet, exercise, and weight reduction have not improved cholesterol levels. <P> Crestor ® (rosuvastatin calcium) is a prescription medication used for treating a number of conditions related to heart disease, including high cholesterol and high triglycerides. Approved uses of Crestor include: 1 Lowering cholesterol in people with high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia). 1 Lowering cholesterol in people with high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia). 2 Crestor can reduce total cholesterol, LDL ( bad cholesterol ), ApoB, non-HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides -- as well as raise HDL ( good cholesterol ). <P> Crestor (Rosuvastatin) belongs to a class of drugs known as statins or HMG CoA reductase inhibitors. Crestor reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and raises high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The medication is also prescribed to lower triglycerides in the blood. LDL (low density lipoprotein) - also known as bad cholesterol . LDL carries cholesterol from the liver to cells. Crestor, like other statins, prevents the production of LDL by suppressing HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme in the liver that plays a crucial role in cholesterol production. By doing this, the medication helps prevents coronary artery diseases, and other cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack, stroke and angina. <P> Uses. Rosuvastatin is used along with a proper diet to help lower bad cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise good cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as statins .. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. <P> Rosuvastatin is in a group of drugs called HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, or statins ..

what does a key do in a tapered shaft | <P> The keyway in the hub has a taper that matches that of the tapered key. Some taper keys have a gib, or tab, for easier removal during disassembly. The purpose of the taper is to secure the key itself, as well as, to firmly engage the shaft to the hub without the need for a set screw. The key prevents relative rotation between the two parts and may enable torque transmission. For a key to function, the shaft and rotating machine element must have a keyway and a keyseat, which is a slot and pocket in which the key fits. The whole system is called a keyed joint. <P> Should the keyway be aligned with the tapered part of the shaft, or with the shaft itself? I am guessing that it would be with the shaft, not the taper, because if I needed to broach a key way in the hub, it would be aligned with the centerline of the hub, not the taper. Am I correct in my thinking? A tapered keyseat might bind radially before the shaft and bore were in proper contact, and this would negate the reasons for the taper fit. Usually the taper fit between shaft and bore also carries torque well, so key is more for registration than torque, another reason why you want a straight, non-binding key fit. <P> So this means when you see a set of taper tip iron shafts in a set of irons off the rack and the shaft is not a True Temper Dynamic, it’s a waste of time for them to do this, since the tapered and parallel versions are the same. <P> Propeller Shaft Installation. Propeller Fit: In order to properly mate the propeller to the shaft taper, the following is one of the most commonly used methods: 1. The taper should be coated with Prussian Blue. 2. The propeller should then be put on the shaft without the key and gently tapped snug onto the taper. 3. Propeller and Key Installation: The propeller should always be installed on the shaft taper first without the key, and its position marked with a pencil. The propeller is. then removed, the key installed and the propeller installed so its position is at the pencil mark. This precaution will indicate if the propeller <P> 1,442. Dsergison is right that since a Woodruff keyseat is round, alignment is irrelevant for the keyseat in the shaft. IME seats for straight keys in tapered shafts or bores are parallel to the axis, not the surface. A tapered keyseat might bind radially before the shaft and bore were in proper contact, and this would negate the reasons for the taper fit. Usually the taper fit between shaft and bore also carries torque well, so key is more for registration than torque, another reason why you want a straight, non-binding key fit. <P> Propeller Fitting Instructions. How to fit your propeller onto a tapered shaft correctly. 1. Check propeller shaft. After removing the old propeller check that the shaft taper, key and thread are undamaged. Try the propeller shaft nut on the shaft thread. The shaft taper should be clean and dry. It will be helpful to mark the direction of the key in the keyway. 4. Propeller fit. Dry fit the propeller to the shaft, without the key in place first. Check that the propeller does not rock on the taper. Mark the shaft at the forward end of the propeller hub <P> A Scotch key or Dutch key also provides a keyway not by milling but by drilling axially into the part and the shaft, so that a round key can be used. If the key is tapered, it is referred to as a Dutch pin and is driven in, and generally cut off flush with the end of the shaft. The key prevents relative rotation between the two parts and may enable torque transmission.

types of neurodegenerative diseases | <P> Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, commonly called “Lou Gehrig's disease” in the US) is the most common motor neuron disease in adults. Motor neuron diseases are neurodegenerative diseases that cause selective loss of the nerve cells that directly connect the brain to muscles. <P> Neurodegenerative disease is an umbrella term for a range of conditions which primarily affect the neurons in the human brain. Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system which includes the brain and spinal cord. <P> More than 600 disorders afflict the nervous system. Neurodegenerative diseases are defined as hereditary and sporadic conditions which are characterized by progressive nervous system dysfunction. These disorders are often associated with atrophy of the affected central or peripheral structures of <P> The major neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are devastating and fatal. Currently there is no means to arrest or reverse the progression of these diseases. <P> Summary. Degenerative nerve diseases affect many of your body's activities, such as balance, movement, talking, breathing, and heart function. Many of these diseases are genetic. Sometimes the cause is a medical condition such as alcoholism, a tumor, or a stroke. Other causes may include toxins, chemicals, and viruses. Sometimes the cause is not known. Degenerative nerve diseases include. 1 Alzheimer's disease. <P> Brain Diseases: Neurodegenerative Conditions continued... Parkinson's disease: Nerves in a central area of the brain degenerate slowly, causing problems with movement and coordination. Early signs are a tremor of the hands, stiffness of the limbs and trunk, slowness of movement, and unstable posture. <P> Degenerative diseases of the nervous system impose substantial medical and public health burdens on populations throughout the world.

what is plantaris muscle rupture | <P> Commonly called Tennis leg, a tear or rupture of the plantaris involves the plantaris muscle and possibly the medial head or inside of the gastrocnemius muscle which is the larger of the two calf muscle. Injuries are usually the result of a sudden muscular action such as reaching out for a tennis shot. Unless associated with bony injury, x-rays of the area will not be useful. Injury to the plantaris muscle can present with similar clinical features to conditions like deep vein thrombosis, rupture of Baker's cyst, and tumors. An MRI is accurate in differentiating and characterizing plantaris muscle injury. <P> The special highlight of plantaris muscle is its muscle belly which is small and thin. Also present is a thin yet long tubular tendon that makes up some part of the posterosuperficial compartment of calf. Along with gastrocnemius and soleus, in group they are termed as triceps surae muscle. An injury to this muscle structure can lead to a very painful calf. The Plantaris muscle is small in size but is one of the important lower limb muscles. Plantaris muscle is very small muscle located along the posterior part of the leg and is a part of calf’s postersuperficial compartment. <P> The Plantaris muscle is a thin muscle in the back of the lower leg, which attaches just above the knee on the outside, passes down the back of the calf and inserts on to the heel bone. It's function is to assist the larger calf muscles in plantar flexing the ankle or pointing the foot down. Tennis Leg. Tennis leg is a general term used to describe pain in the leg caused by a tear of the inner head of the big calf muscle, the plantaris muscle or sometimes both. <P> It is composed of a thin muscle belly and a long thin tendon. While not as thick as the achilles tendon, the plantaris tendon (which tends to be between 30 to 45 cm in length) is the longest tendon in the human body. Not including the tendon, the plantaris muscle is approximately 5-10 cm long and is absent in 8-12% of the population. It is one of the plantar flexors in the posterior compartment of the leg, along with the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. The plantaris muscle arises from the inferior part of the lateral supracondylar ridge of the femur at a position slightly superior to the origin of the lateral head of gastrocnemius. It passes posterior to the knee joint in an inferomedial direction and becomes tendinous distally to insert into the Achilles tendon <P> Tennis leg is a tear or rupture of the plantaris muscle and possibly the medial head or inside of the gastrocnemius muscle which is the larger of the two calf muscles. Tennis Leg. Tennis leg is a general term used to describe pain in the leg caused by a tear of the inner head of the big calf muscle, the plantaris muscle or sometimes both. <P> Main Image: The plantaris muscle is a tapering down pencil sized fine tendon which runs beneath the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles and is attached to the Achilles tendon or to the medial side of the tubercle of the calcaneus. An injury to this muscle structure can lead to a very painful calf. The Plantaris muscle is small in size but is one of the important lower limb muscles. Plantaris muscle is very small muscle located along the posterior part of the leg and is a part of calf’s postersuperficial compartment. <P> Anatomy. The plantaris muscle is a fine rope like tendon running next to the larger Achilles Tendon. It’s function is to work with the Achilles to flex the ankle and knee joint by extending from the outside (lateral) back of the femur (allowing you to stand on your toes or point your foot).

when quoting where to put period | <P> Now, it is still acceptable to place the period outside the quotation marks in this case. However, if the quotation spans the entire sentence from capital letter to fullstop, and/or continues for multiple sentences and comprises a full paragraph, the quotation should enclose the final period. The period is placed inside the quotation mark even if the part between the quotation marks is not a complete sentence.

length of grass for bermuda | <P> Bermuda grass varieties are usually to be mowed with a conventional mower for height above 1. Mowing below 1 requires that a reel mower be used. They look their best at heights from 1.5 to 2.5 inches, but can usually accommodate heights as low as as 3/4 inches. <P> Seeding rates for Bermuda grass range from 1 to 2 pounds of hulled seed or 2 to 3 pounds of coated seed per 1,000 square feet of lawn. Use a rotary spreader and divide the seed in half and apply it in two directions. When you finish, lightly roll the seed to increase its contact with the soil. <P> Bermuda grass seeds will germinate best if in a soil with a pH between 6 and 7. The grass grows best when the soil temperature is between 75 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit and the air temperature is between 75 and 95 F. You can expect a complete turf cover in four to six weeks. <P> It is universally suggested that no more than 30 to 40 percent of the turf's length be removed in a single cutting. For the short cutting heights recommended for Bermuda grass, this means cutting twice a week during the peak of the growing season to keep it at 1 inch. <P> Recommended Mowing Height. Texas A&M University turf specialists recommend keeping Bermuda grass cut to a height of 1 inch, maintaining that, at heights above 1 inch, the turf that is less wear-resistant and develops unattractive brown stems. <P> It depends on the look you are going for. If you are willing to invest the time and care for a golf-course quality bermuda grass lawn we recommend a height of 1/4 to 1/2 inches. This will require that you mow your grass two or three times a week during peak growing season. <P> From the table, you should be able to determine what type of grass you have and the recommended mowing height for each. For example, if you identified your lawn as Common Bermuda grass, then your suggested mowing height should range from 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches. As a rule of thumb, it is best to stay at the high end of these suggested heights, especially during seasonal droughts and heat waves. | 1.5 to 2.5 inches |
how to get the proper amount of calcium without dairy products | <P> 14 Non-Dairy Foods That Are High in Calcium. If you don't eat dairy, you're not doomed to brittle bones. Fill up on these 14 calcium-rich foods that don't contain a drop of milk. <P> [See: How the Raw Food Diet Works .]. But avoiding dairy also comes with a warning. There are compounds in plants that bind to calcium and prevent you from absorbing it, Anding says. Although they're good sources of calcium on paper, physiologically, the amount of calcium is not so great. <P> Our body actually needs 300-400 mg of calcium per day, but with dairy, this means we need to consume close to the RDA to get that level with the reduced absorption rate. Other food sources are more absorbable like bone broth, dark leafy greens, fish with bones, and even carrots. <P> The preferred source of calcium is calcium-rich foods such as dairy products. Some people will need to take calcium supplements. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamins and minerals reflects how much of each vitamin or mineral most people should get each day. <P> Greens, sardines, almonds, and sesame seeds are all good non-dairy sources of this essential bone-building nutrient. With calcium rich foods, milk isn't a must! Sep 4, 2013. Jane Lear is a regular contributor to TakePart. <P> To give an idea of how many serves of dairy products or calcium containing alternatives that need to be consumed to achieve these RDAs, here are the calcium content of some common milk based products. 1 An eight ounce glass of milk contains 300mg. 2 Six ounces of yogurt has 300mg. 3 2 ounces of Swiss cheese has 530mg. <P> Milk and dairy products such as yogurt, cheeses, and buttermilk contain a form of calcium that your body can absorb easily. Whole milk (4% fat) is recommended for children ages 1 to 2. Adults and children over the age of 2 should drink low-fat (2% or 1%) or skim milk and other dairy products. <P> In order to get enough calcium from your non-dairy diet, it is important to choose calcium-rich foods that are easily absorbed. There are a number of plant-based foods to choose from, including many green leafy vegetables like broccoli, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, and kale. <P> Luckily, there's a range of non-dairy foods that offer the 1,000 to 1,300 milligrams of calcium the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends you get daily. <P> Not all calcium that we consume is absorbed and the amount we need to consume daily varies depending on the source of the calcium. For instance, about 32-33% of the calcium from dairy products is absorbed. | Bone broth, dark leafy greens like broccoli, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, and kale, fish with bones, and even carrots. |

what are two characteristics about segmented worms | <P> The annelids (Annelida, from Latin anellus, little ring), also known as the ringed worms or segmented worms, are a large phylum, with over 17,000 extant species including ragworms, earthworms, and leeches. Annelids are considered members of the Lophotrochozoa, a super-phylum of protostomes that also includes molluscs, brachiopods, flatworms and nemerteans. The basic annelid form consists of multiple segments. <P> Annelids are a phylum including earthworms, leeches, polychaete worms, and some other worm groups(3). Annelids are also called segmented worms because a defining feature they all share is a body most of which is divided into segments, each of which contains parts of the basic body systems (2). Learn more about this article. Annelida is a group commonly referred to as segmented worms, and they are found worldwide from the deepest marine sediments to the soils in our city parks and yards. Through most of the 20th century Annelida was split into three major groups; Polychaeta, Oligochaeta (earthworms etc.) and Hirudinea (leeches <P> Annelida. The animals in the Annelida are segmented worms. They have no legs, and no hard skeleton. Unlike mollusks, annelid bodies are divided into many little segments, like rings joined together. There are many other kinds of worms, but only annelids are segmented this way. There are three main groups of annelids, the earthworms (and their relatives), the leeches, and a big group that lives in the ocean and are called polychaetes (pol-ee-keets) <P> Segmented worms make up the Phylum Annelida. The phylum includes earthworms, leeches, and a large number of mostly marine worms known as polychaetes. Polychaetes (meaning many bristles) have many bristles on the body, while earthworms and leeches have fewer bristles. Some are parasitic, as the leeches; others filter-feed or prey on other invertebrates. Segmented wormsmake up the Phylum Annelida. The phylum includes earthworms, leeches, and a large number of mostly marine worms known as polychaetes. <P> Annelida. . Members of this phylum may be most familiar: the common earthworm, leech and nightcrawler belong to this group. There are three general types of segmented worms. One group is entirely marine (the polychaetes), while the other two groups are either terrestrial or live in freshwater. <P> The annelids (Phylum Annelida) are also called the segmented worms due to their segmented bodies. This group includes the most familiar of all invertebrate worms. Earthworms, freshwater worms, leeches, and marine worms are all annelids. This group is also called bristle worms because most annelids have tiny chitinous bristles called setae. The setae help terrestrial annelids grip their surroundings, and they aid aquatic forms with swimming. Learn more about this article.

Through most of the 20th century Annelida was split into three major groups; Polychaeta, Oligochaeta (earthworms etc.) and Hirudinea (leeches) <P> Marine species are members of one of two classes, Polychaeta (Polychaete worms) or Hirudinea (leeches). A third class, Oligochaeta, includes the well-known earthworms. The phylum is up for a revision as recent research has revealed that the leeches should probably join the oligochaetes, together with the earthworms. So, the annelids now inlcude both segmented and unsegmented worms. They come in a huge variety of shapes and colors. Many of the worms live their lives buried in the sand while others stand up like flowers. Some are microscopic in size, others can reach a length of 3 meters. <P> Segmented worms (Annelida) are a group of invertebrates that includes about 12,000 species of earthworms, ragworms and leeches. Segmented worms live in marine habitats such as the intertidal zone and near hydrothermal vents.

I would also have him/her stop by everyday, not every other. <P> I pay my pet-sitter $30 for two visits to my dog per day, and no overnight stay. Considering there were multiple animals in the household, and she stayed overnight, $50 seems more fair. Certainly, not an overpay to the pet-sitter.

Sounded good, so I gave the house-sitter a thank you card with $350 in it. <P> In defense of 14 year olds, I was babysitting newborns to 5 year olds at that age, with no supervision. Taking care of a cat would have been a piece of cake. I pay my professional cat sitter $18 per day. I would pay a neighbor kid $50 for a week if the visit is as short as you say. I would also have him/her stop by everyday, not every other. Things can go downhill quickly <P> Cat sitters’ fees vary from region to region and are based on fees for nearby animal boarding. Fees are also based on which service package you choose. All cat sitters should check on the animals daily, provide fresh water and food, empty the cat litter box if necessary and spend time with the animal. <P> 1 If you require the pet sitter to spend the night with your sick or lonely pet, expect to pay extra. 2 The usual charge is from $40 to $60 a night. 3 Driving your pet to the vet for treatment (pet taxi service) can cost from $20 to $25 dollars per hour. 1 A 30-minute walk may go for $10 or $15 dollars. 2 If you require the pet sitter to spend the night with your sick or lonely pet, expect to pay extra. 3 <P> Report Abuse. Professional cat sitters who do this generally get $25-35 a VISIT and add $10 for each cat beyond one. Some will make return visits (2x a day for free, some charge $15, others the full amount again). I'd say at least $10-15 a day and take her out to or make a nice dinner for her...and maybe a cake to take home with her. | $25-35 par Visit. |

what is a flavonoid | <P> Flavonoids are a group of plant metabolites thought to provide health benefits through cell signalling pathways and antioxidant effects. These molecules are found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids are polyphenolic molecules containing 15 carbon atoms and are soluble in water. The abundance of flavonoids coupled with their low toxicity relative to other plant compounds means they can be ingested in large quantities by animals, including humans. Examples of foods that are rich in flavonoids include onions, parsley, blueberries, bananas, dark chocolate and red wine. <P> Best Answer: The term flavonoid refers to a class of plant secondary metabolites based around a phenylbenzopyrone structure. Flavonoids are most commonly known for their antioxidant activity. Flavonoids are also commonly referred to as bioflavonoids in the media – these terms are equivalent and interchangable, since all flavonoids are biological in origin. God bless & Good luck! <P> Neoflavonoids structure. Flavonoids (or bioflavonoids) (from the Latin word flavus meaning yellow, their color in nature) are a class of plant secondary metabolites. Chemically, they have the general structure of a 15-carbon skeleton, which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and heterocyclic ring (C). The citrus flavonoids include hesperidin (a glycoside of the flavanone hesperetin), quercitrin, rutin (two glycosides of the flavonol quercetin), and the flavone tangeritin. <P> Flavonoids are one of the largest nutrient families known to scientists, and include over 6,000 already-identified family members. Some of the best-known flavonoids include quercetin, kaempferol, catechins, and anthocyanidins. This nutrient group is most famous for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory health benefits, as well as its contribution of vibrant color to the foods we eat. Because many flavonoids—and especially those belonging to two flavonoid subgroups called flavonols and flavan-3-ols—can be effective in reducing free radical damage to cells and other components in body tissue, they provide antioxidant benefits. <P> The flavonoids are a group of plant pigments, which exert antioxidant activity that is more potent and effective against a broader range of oxidants than the traditional antioxidant nutrients vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, selenium, and zinc. Flavonoids are plant-based compounds with powerful antioxidant properties, which means they reduce inflammation, promote healthy arteries, and help fight aging by preventing -- and repairing -- cellular damage. Flavonoids may also protect against dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and some cancers. <P> Green tea: Another flavonoid favorite is green tea, which contains compounds called polyphenols (wine has them too) that have potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. <P> In metabolic terms, this activity of flavonoids involves the inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes. Not only have specific flavonoids (for example, quercetin) been shown to provide these benefits but so also have flavonoid-containing extracts from a variety of foods, spices, and herbs. Because many flavonoids—and especially those belonging to two flavonoid subgroups called flavonols and flavan-3-ols—can be effective in reducing free radical damage to cells and other components in body tissue, they provide antioxidant benefits. <P> Flavonoids are a diverse group of phytonutrients (plant chemicals) found in almost all fruits and vegetables. Along with carotenoids, they are responsible for the vivid colors in fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids are the largest group of phytonutrients, with more than 6,000 types. <P> The flavonoid nutrient family is one of the largest nutrient families known to scientists. Over 6,000 unique flavonoids have been identified in research studies, and many of these flavonoids are found in plants that are routinely enjoyed in delicious cuisines throughout the world. Because many flavonoids—and especially those belonging to two flavonoid subgroups called flavonols and flavan-3-ols—can be effective in reducing free radical damage to cells and other components in body tissue, they provide antioxidant benefits. <P> Flavonoids, also referred to as bio-flavonoids, are naturally occurring biological compounds that are often found in plants. Quercetin, Kaempferol, Catechin and EGCG are examples of flavonoids. They are actually a type of anti-oxidant that act as a secondary metabolite. | Flavonoids are a group of plant metabolites thought to provide health benefits through cell signalling pathways and antioxidant effects. |
how long do you cook bacon in the oven | <P> Bake the thin-cut bacon for 12-17 minutes for thin-cut, or until desired doneness. I myself like my bacon very crisp, so I bake it 16-18 minutes. For thick bacon, bake for 10 minutes, then turn the bacon with tongs. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 12-17 minutes longer or until the bacon is browned. The bacon is done when the bubbles on it become smaller and it makes less noise. That's a great way to tell when any food is done frying, actually! <P> Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the bacon slices in one even layer on the parchment and bake until golden brown and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to blot and drain briefly before serving. Cooking Directions. <P> 1 Do not wait for the oven to preheat. 2 Go ahead and place the pan in the oven. 3 Cook the bacon for 12-17 minutes. 4 Cooking time depends on the thickness of your bacon, and how long it takes for you oven to come to temperature. Start checking your bacon around 10 minutes to ensure your bacon doesn’t burn. (Nothing worse than burnt bacon!). 7. 3.

why does the oxyhemoglobin curve matter | <P> OxyHemoglobin Dissociation Curve. This curve describes the relationship between available oxygen and amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin. 1 The horizontal axis is Pa02, or the amount of oxygen available. 2 The vertical axis is SaO2, or the amount of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen. 1 The horizontal axis is Pa02, or the amount of oxygen available. 2 The vertical axis is SaO2, or the amount of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen. 3 Once the PaO2 reaches 60 mm Hg the curve is almost flat, indicating there is little change in saturation above this point. 4 So, PaO2 of 60 or more is usually considered adequate. <P> Understand the Oxygen Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve with this clear explanation from Dr. Seheult. This is video 1 of 1 on the oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve (also called oxygen dissociation curve and the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve). Speaker: Roger Seheult, MD. Clinical and Exam Preparation Instructor. Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine <P> The 'steep' portion of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is the range that exists at the systemic capillaries (a small drop in systemic capillary p(O 2) can result in the release of large amounts of oxygen for the metabolically active cells). In its most simple form, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve describes the relation between the partial pressure of oxygen (x axis) and the oxygen saturation (y axis). Hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen increases as successive molecules of oxygen bind. <P> Some Clinical Uses of the Dissociation Curve. The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, and the role of hemoglobin, are important clinically in understanding the relationship of arterial, oxygen saturation to the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood, particularly as it relates to disease. Understanding the Dissociation Curve. In its basic form, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve describes the relation between the partial pressure of oxygen (x axis) and the oxygen saturation (y axis). <P> Factors that affect the standard dissociation curve The strength with which oxygen binds to hemoglobin is affected by several factors. These factors shift or reshape the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve. A rightward shift indicates that the hemoglobin under study has a decreased affinity for oxygen. In its most simple form, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve describes the relation between the partial pressure of oxygen (x axis) and the oxygen saturation (y axis). Hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen increases as successive molecules of oxygen bind. <P> So, the curve has an s-shape because, at lower PO2s, oxygen binds to hemoglobin at a high rate, and this slows down as hemoglobin become more saturated. At PO2s above 60 the curve is relatively flat, meaning that the oxygen content of the blood will not change much with subsequent increases in PO2. 1 Shift to the left: The curve shifts to the left when hemoglobin has an increased affinity for oxygen, and has an easier time making the bond with oxygen. 2 Higher SpO2 for a given PO2. 3 Hemoglobin is more likely to cling to O2 and not let go (activity is minimal). 4 Think Cold. <P> Specifically, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve relates oxygen saturation (SO2) and partial pressure of oxygen in the blood (PO2), and is determined by what is called hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen, that is, how readily hemoglobin acquires and releases oxygen molecules from its surrounding tissue. Background. Understanding the Dissociation Curve. In its basic form, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve describes the relation between the partial pressure of oxygen (x axis) and the oxygen saturation (y axis). <P> Hemoglobin (/ˈhiːmɵˌɡloʊbɨn/); also spelled haemoglobin and abbreviated Hb or Hgb, is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of all vertebrates (with the exception of the fish family Channichthyidae) as well as the tissues of some invertebrates. Carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin and forms carbaminohemoglobin. This decrease in hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen by the binding of carbon dioxide and acid is known as the Bohr effect (shifts the O 2 -saturation curve to the right). <P> (March 2009). The oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curve, also called the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve or oxygen dissociation curve (ODC), is a curve that plots the proportion of hemoglobin in its saturated (oxygen-laden) form on the vertical axis against the prevailing oxygen tension on the horizontal axis. In its most simple form, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve describes the relation between the partial pressure of oxygen (x axis) and the oxygen saturation (y axis). Hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen increases as successive molecules of oxygen bind. | It is a curve that plots the proportion of hemoglobin in its saturated (oxygen-laden) form on the vertical axis against the prevailing oxygen tension on the horizontal axis. |
what is a jewel yam | <P> Jewel yams contain a high level of sugar -- 7 g. Despite this, the jewel yam is a low glycemic index vegetable, recommended for those with diabetes. The American Diabetes Association refers to the jewel yam as a superfood, suggesting diabetics replace regular potatoes with these sweet potatoes. The jewel yam contains zero g of fat, making it a good choice if you follow a low-fat diet. The majority of the calories in this sweet potato come from carbohydrates, a macronutrient your body primarily uses for energy. A medium-sized jewel yam contains 33 g of carbohydrates. <P> yam = moist-fleshed sweet potato Notes: Americans use the word yam to refer to a sweet, moist, orange-fleshed variety of sweet potato. To everyone else in the world, a yam is what Americans call a tropical yam, a firm tuber with white flesh. sweet potato Notes: In American supermarkets, sweet potatoes are displayed next to something called yams, which are moister than sweet potatoes and have darker skins. But according to the rest of the world (and botanists), we have it all wrong. To them, our yams are just a variety of sweet potatoes. <P> Jewel yams are ovate and cylindric in shape, tapering at the ends. They have a rough semi thick skin with a rose hued pale orange color. The flesh is brilliant orange, moist and starchy. The flesh's vibrant color increases when cooked. Its flavor is sweet and its starchy textures allows it to absorb accompanying ingredients' flavors. The Jewel yam is a high source for beta carotene and yields a substantial amount of carbohydrates per single yam. True yams are native to Asia and Africa and are one of the most important food crops in tropical and subtropical regions <P> Yams. By now most people are aware that it is important to have healthy fats in our diet, and when it comes to omega-3 fatty acids, yams are quite preferable. Although both the yam and the sweet potato are low-fat foods, the ratio of essential fatty acids is preferable in the yam compared to the sweet potato. Yams are native to Africa and Asia and you’ll have to venture to your local ethnic market to find a true yam—a starchy tuber that has an almost black bark-like skin and white, purple or reddish flesh and come in many varieties—and can be as small as regular potatoes or grow upwards of five feet long. <P> Fiber. The jewel yam provides you with 4 g of fiber per serving, although be sure to include the skin of the sweet potato when you consume it -- a good deal of the fiber resides there. Your meal plan should include 25 to 38 g of fiber per day to maintain the health of your digestive system. The jewel yam contains zero g of fat, making it a good choice if you follow a low-fat diet. The majority of the calories in this sweet potato come from carbohydrates, a macronutrient your body primarily uses for energy. A medium-sized jewel yam contains 33 g of carbohydrates. <P> All the earlier sweet potato posts made me hungry. Now I am the proud owner of a garnet yam and a jewel yam. I know these are just 2 different varieties of the same tuber but figured I'd ask if anyone here knows of any distinctions betweenn the two. <P> The Jewel yam is, in fact, not a yam. It is a sweet potato that lost its identity to an American labeling system that forced the naming of yellow-orange fleshed sweet potatoes to include yam in their identification. The flesh is brilliant orange, moist and starchy. The flesh's vibrant color increases when cooked. Its flavor is sweet and its starchy textures allows it to absorb accompanying ingredients' flavors. The Jewel yam is a high source for beta carotene and yields a substantial amount of carbohydrates per single yam. <P> Jewel & Garnet Yams – These have brownish-orange skins and bright orange interiors. While labeled yams, they are actually sweet potatoes and are even more common than the standard white-fleshed sweet potato. These varieties are a low-calorie, nutrient-dense food, packed with vitamin-A (more than carrots!). These “yams” can be substituted for sweet potatoes in recipes because… well, they are sweet potatoes. True yams, on the other hand, are a different animal entirely. They may be found in ethnic or specialty grocery stores, but are more common in international markets. <P> There are about 200 varieties of yams, none of which are grown in mainland United States. Sweet potatoes are native to the New World, specifically Peru and Ecuador. The Jewel variety is one of the most common sweet potatoes cultivated for American markets. The flesh is brilliant orange, moist and starchy. The flesh's vibrant color increases when cooked. Its flavor is sweet and its starchy textures allows it to absorb accompanying ingredients' flavors. The Jewel yam is a high source for beta carotene and yields a substantial amount of carbohydrates per single yam. <P> The jewel yam, commonly available at grocery stores throughout the United States, is not a yam at all -- it is a variety of sweet potato. While this root vegetable is available all year round, the best harvest for jewel yams occurs from September through March.

what do antioxidants do for skin | <P> A Dr. Ellen Marmur, MD, Dermatology, answered. Antioxidants are found in blueberries, green tea, red kidney beans, olive oil, artichokes, pomegranates, dark chocolate, and red wine. These are indeed the superheroes of the nutrient family. Antioxidants are among the natural defense mechanisms that protect skin against additional oxidative (aging) processes. Antioxidant creams help to combat potentially harmful wrinkle-causing free radicals, which are often generated after sun exposure. <P> Your skin is your largest organ, so it is important to take care of it. Antioxidants protect skin by limiting the production of free radicals, which can damage skin cells. Antioxidants in skin care products can do a lot for the health and appearance of your skin, including reducing the signs of aging. From calming inflamed skin to tightening and toning, antioxidants offer great benefits from natural sources. One of the most desirable benefits of antioxidants in skin-care products is the calming of inflammation. Antioxidants, such as alpha lipoic acid and others found in pine bark and green tea, produce valuable anti-inflammatory results by increasing circulation and cell metabolism. <P> If you're like most people, you want smooth, healthy skin, but maybe you don't want to wade through hundreds of chemically laden products to get it. That's where antioxidants can help. Incorporating the right antioxidants into your diet and skin care routine can have a positive effect on your skin. Antioxidants are nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and enzymes (proteins inside your body) that can help to prevent and repair damage to your body's tissue. In most cases, all you need to fulfill your body's quota for antioxidants is a healthy and balanced diet. In fact, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor before increasing your intake of any supplement. To learn more about antioxidants and skin care, look over the links on the next page. <P> A diet rich in antioxidants may improve the quality of the skin. Skin water content and fat levels increase (the more the better in the skin). The antioxidants lutein, alpha lipoic acid, vitamins C and E, carotenoids, and polyphenols improve the skin, whether they are eaten or applied in cream form. Antioxidants are among the natural defense mechanisms that protect skin against additional oxidative (aging) processes. Antioxidant creams help to combat potentially harmful wrinkle-causing free radicals, which are often generated after sun exposure. <P> Another top benefit of antioxidant skin care is skin firming. Antioxidants may actually reverse the effects of aging by improving skin health and rejuvenating its appearance. Coenzyme Q-10, or CoQ-10, is a common skin-firming antioxidant and is great for use in eye creams and products that are meant to tone the skin. One of the most desirable benefits of antioxidants in skin-care products is the calming of inflammation. Antioxidants, such as alpha lipoic acid and others found in pine bark and green tea, produce valuable anti-inflammatory results by increasing circulation and cell metabolism. <P> The polyphenol antioxidants in green tea have also been shown to help prevent certain skin cancers and protect skin against sunburns. Antioxidants found in red wine and green tea are being studied for their possible cancer-fighting potential, but so far the results aren't conclusive. Antioxidants are among the natural defense mechanisms that protect skin against additional oxidative (aging) processes. Antioxidant creams help to combat potentially harmful wrinkle-causing free radicals, which are often generated after sun exposure. <P> Antioxidants do this by slowing or preventing the effect of free radicals, which start oxidation -- a process that causes damage from oxygen that can lead to cell dysfunction. If you've seen a peeled apple turn brown, you've seen oxidation in action. In most cases, all you need to fulfill your body's quota for antioxidants is a healthy and balanced diet. In fact, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor before increasing your intake of any supplement. To learn more about antioxidants and skin care, look over the links on the next page. <P> Antioxidants benefit your health by cleaning free radicals out of your bloodstream. They have a range of health benefits; some studies have shown that antioxdants reduce the signs of aging by minimizing wrinkles and preserving the texture of the skin. | Antioxidants protect skin by limiting the production of free radicals, which can damage skin cells.

what is a foreign exchange trade | <P> In finance, an exchange rate (also known as a foreign-exchange rate, forex rate, FX rate or Agio) between two currencies is the rate at which one currency will be exchanged for another. It is also regarded as the value of one country’s currency in terms of another currency. A currency pair is the quotation of the relative value of a currency unit against the unit of another currency in the foreign exchange market. The quotation EUR/USD 1.11 means that 1 Euro is able to buy 1.11 US dollar. <P> The foreign exchange market is the market in which foreign currency—such as the yen or euro or pound—is traded for domestic currency—for example, the U.S. dollar. The exchange rate is the price of foreign currency. For example, the exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar is usually stated in dollars per pound sterling ($/£); an increase in this exchange rate from, say, $1.80 to say, $1.83, is a depreciation of the dollar. <P> The Foreign Exchange market, also referred to as the Forex or FX market is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average turnover of US$3.2 Trillion. Foreign Exchange is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another. Currencies are traded in pairs, for example Euro/US Dollar (EUR/USD) or US Dollar/Japanese Yen (USD/JPY). There are two reasons to buy and sell currencies <P> Forex is a commonly used abbreviation for foreign exchange, and it is typically used to describe trading in the foreign exchange market by investors and speculators. Currencies trade on an open market, just like stocks, bonds, computers, cars, and many other goods and services. A currency's value fluctuates as its supply and demand fluctuates, just like anything else. 1 An increase in supply or a decrease in demand for a currency can cause the value of that currency to fall. <P> DEFINITION of 'Foreign Exchange Market'. The market in which participants are able to buy, sell, exchange and speculate on currencies. Foreign exchange markets are made up of banks, commercial companies, central banks, investment management firms, hedge funds, and retail forex brokers and investors. Because the currency markets are large and liquid, they are believed to be the most efficient financial markets.

how did the greek philosophers view creation | <P> This sparked a series of investigations into the limit and role of reason and of our sensory faculties, how knowledge is acquired and what knowledge consists of. Here we find the Greek creation of philosophy as “the love of wisdom,” and the birth of metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. The Western philosophical tradition began in ancient Greece in the 6th century BCE. The first philosophers are called Presocratics which designates that they came before Socrates. The Presocratics were from either the eastern or western regions of the Greek world. <P> Ancient Greek philosophy arose in the 6th century BCE and continued throughout the Hellenistic period and the period in which Ancient Greece was part of the Roman Empire. It dealt with a wide variety of subjects, including political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, ontology, logic, biology, rhetoric, and aesthetics. Some claim that Greek philosophy, in turn, was influenced by the older wisdom literature and mythological cosmogonies of the ancient Near East. <P> The Greeks. Western intellectual history always begins with the ancient Greeks. This is not to say that no one had any deep thoughts prior to the ancient Greeks, or that the philosophies of ancient India and China (and elsewhere) were in any way inferior. Greek philosophy didn’t begin in Greece (as we know it); It began on the western coast of what is now Turkey, an area known then as Ionia. In Ionia’s richest city, Miletus, was a man of Phoenician descent called Thales (624-546). <P> Socrates, born in Athens in the 5th century BCE, marks a watershed in ancient Greek philosophy. Athens was a center of learning, with sophists and philosophers traveling from across Greece to teach rhetoric, astronomy, cosmology, geometry, and the like. Some claim that Greek philosophy, in turn, was influenced by the older wisdom literature and mythological cosmogonies of the ancient Near East. <P> In addition to the Greek Pantheon, He believes there is one god that is the Ideal God. All gods emanate from this god. One of these lesser gods is called the Demiurge. This god is responsible for the creation of the physical world and the rest of the Greek gods. 1. Socrates and Plato both acknowledged the Greek Pantheon. They believed however that the gods were good, just and full of virtue or they would not be gods. Socrates often mentions “the god”. This is always a reference to the god Apollo. <P> Ancient Greek Philosophy. The Ancient Greek philosophers have played a pivotal role in the shaping of the western philosophical tradition. This article surveys the seminal works and ideas of key figures in the Ancient Greek philosophical tradition from the Presocratics to the Neoplatonists. The Western philosophical tradition began in ancient Greece in the 6th century BCE. The first philosophers are called Presocratics which designates that they came before Socrates. The Presocratics were from either the eastern or western regions of the Greek world. <P> © 2001 – 2011 World View Classes 1 Week 22 The World View of the Greek Philosophers I. What is the Greek World View as Explained by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle? A. Their view of the Gods. 1. Socrates and Plato both acknowledged the Greek Pantheon. They believed however that the gods were good, just and full of virtue or they would not be gods. Socrates often mentions “the god”. This is always a reference to the god Apollo. <P> Early Life. Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle was born circa 384 B.C. in Stagira, a small town on the northern coast of Greece that was once a seaport. Aristotle’s father, Nicomachus, was court physician to the Macedonian king Amyntas II. <P> Thales, the first Greek philosopher and the first who is recorded to have studied in Africa, says that he learned philosophy from the Egyptians. They studied in Egypt because it was the educational capital of the ancient world. Pythagoras is known to have spent at least twenty two years in Africa. The African people may have religion and myths, but not philosophy, according to this reasoning. Thus, this notion privileges the Greeks as the originators of philosophy, the highest of the sciences. There is a serious problem with this line of reasoning. The information is false. | The Greek creation of philosophy as “the love of wisdom,” and the birth of metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. |
how long does it take to be a bodybuilder | <P> As soon as you start lifting weights with the goal of building muscle, you're on track to becoming a bodybuilder. But it will take some time before your gains are noticeable. You can expect large gains as a novice but eventually your muscle growth will begin to slow. A novice adult lifting weights three hours per week can expect to gain four to 15 pounds per year without the use of steroids or hormones. If you lift more often you can expect bigger gains. If you lift for seven hours per week you can expect to gain eight to 20 pounds annually. After two years this will slow to five to 15 pounds. <P> Expected Gains. A novice adult lifting weights three hours per week can expect to gain four to 15 pounds per year without the use of steroids or hormones. After two years of lifting this person should expect just three to 10 pounds of annual gains. If you lift more often you can expect bigger gains. If you lift for seven hours per week you can expect to gain eight to 20 pounds annually. After two years this will slow to five to 15 pounds. <P> Age. As you age, building muscle becomes harder, and it may take a year or more to get into shape for a competition. You are fighting the natural loss of muscle mass that occurs as you get older. Regular resistance training can counter this loss so you can become competitive with the peers in your age group. Goals and Fitness Level. If you are already training at an intense level, you might take the next steps and begin competing in the next six months. If you just want to experience a local, amateur competition, you may need less time. If you are hoping to rank with the winners in your age group, prepare for longer. <P> Some people gain weight at different speeds, it is hard to tell someone exactly how long it would take to become a bodybuilder, however, … the average time would be between 4 and 7 months of intense workouts and meal planning. Geoff Canyon. This would take approximtely 18 to 21 months in the 2 year span. The remaining time would be spent preparing for competition or shredding. In this phase the individual will change their diet and training patterns in order to remove as much subcutanous body fat to show as much muscle definition as possible. <P> In reality, becoming a bodybuilder takes months, and sometimes years, of dedicated training and dieting. You are becoming competitive in a sport, not just going to the gym to get “bigger.” Your goals, fitness level, genetics, age and habits all determine how long your quest will last. Goals and Fitness Level. If you are already training at an intense level, you might take the next steps and begin competing in the next six months. If you just want to experience a local, amateur competition, you may need less time. If you are hoping to rank with the winners in your age group, prepare for longer. <P> I really don’t think 1 -2 pounds of muscle each months is actually that bad. I mean, in just 6 months you could add around 10 pounds of noticeable muscle to your frame, and get dramatically stronger. Sounds good to me! Set small goals for yourself, like how much you want to gain in the next 6 months or a year. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll need to work your ass off to make these kinds of gains. You’ll need a good training program, diet plan, rest and patience to see it through and hit your goals. <P> As you can see even an offseason diet can be challenging. I am constantly drinking water all day long. I plan on getting up to 240-245 pounds this offseason and will diet down to 215-220 for the show. It takes consistency, day in and day out, of eating, sleeping, and training. <P> This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. hey guys in this video I got 2 questions and answers, I talk about how long does it take to see results in muscle mass, and the other question is how to maintain or keep up with your muscle gains while on holidays, please subscribe and like :). <P> Best Answer: Well bodybuilders are in the top percent of people in the world that have great genetics (even though many today use anabolic steroids). Most bodybuilders start in their teen years because it does take many years for them to get into there prime.

average cost of orbiters | <P> The total cost of the actual 30-year service life of the shuttle program through 2011, adjusted for inflation, was $196 billion. The exact breakdown into non-recurring and recurring costs is not available, but, according to NASA, the average cost to launch a Space Shuttle as of 2011 was about $450 million per mission. A more realistic projection of 12 flights per year for the 15-year service life combined with the initial development costs would have resulted in a total cost projection for the program of roughly $54 billion (in 2011 dollars). <P> Early estimates for the cost to deliver payload to low earth orbit were as low as $118 per pound ($260/kg) of payload ($635/pound in 2011 dollars), based on marginal or incremental launch costs, and assuming a 65,000 pound (30 000 kg) payload capacity and 50 launches per year. A more realistic projection of 12 flights per year for the 15-year service life combined with the initial development costs would have resulted in a total cost projection for the program of roughly $54 billion (in 2011 dollars). <P> A final tally of the space shuttle program's lifetime costs puts the price tag at $1.5 billion per flight, a new analysis shows. The analysis reveals that, as of the end of 2010, the space agency had spent more than $192 billion on the fleet since its inception in 1971, researchers said. That suggests that by the end of this year, which includes three more shuttle missions, NASA will have spent $196.5 billion on its storied space shuttle program. <P> Roger A. Pielke, Jr. has estimated that the Space Shuttle program cost about US$170 billion (2008 dollars) through early 2008; the average cost per flight was about US$1.5 billion. Two missions were paid for by Germany, Spacelab D1 and D2 (D for Deutschland) with a payload control center in Oberpfaffenhofen. The SRBs were jettisoned before the vehicle reached orbit, and the ET was jettisoned just before orbit insertion, which used the orbiter's two Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) engines. At the conclusion of the mission, the orbiter fired its OMS to de-orbit and re-enter the atmosphere. <P> Early during development of the space shuttle, NASA had estimated that the program would cost $7.45 billion ($43 billion in 2011 dollars, adjusting for inflation) in development/non-recurring costs, and $9.3M ($54M in 2011 dollars) per flight. A more realistic projection of 12 flights per year for the 15-year service life combined with the initial development costs would have resulted in a total cost projection for the program of roughly $54 billion (in 2011 dollars). <P> The shuttle, which consisted of two “re-manufactureable” solid boosters, an expendable external tank, and a refurbishable orbiter, cost about $1 billion per launch, based only on average annual program costs, and $1.5 billion per launch if development costs were also included, based on a 2011 study. TOTAL. $5 billion cost per launch. The actual annual expenditure would be only $4 billion, but due to the currently flat NASA budget, declining due to both inflation and politics, a $4-billion share of the budget is a bigger share than the shuttle took up in the past. <P> Cost: NASA's figures for the first 20 missions (1981-85) showed an average cost of $257 million. STS-27 military mission cost to NASA in Dec-1988 was reported at $375 million. Constuction cost is about $1.3-2 billion per orbiter (each capable of >100 missions). Performance: OV-103/104/105 can deliver 24,990 kg into 204 km LEO; they are called 55K Orbiters because of their 55,100-pound capacities (the design goal was 65K). <P> But that proved enough data for Pielke and Radford to come up with ballpark figures. The average cost per launch was about $1.5 billion over the life of the US space-shuttle programme, according to a University of Colorado-Boulder analysis.

examples of implied contracts | <P> An express contract is a contract in which the terms of the agreement are stated in words, (oral or written) while an implied-in-fact contract is a contract formed in whole or … in part from the conduct of the parties. <P> DEFINITION of 'Implied Contract '. A legal substitute for a contract. An implied contract is an agreement created by actions of the parties involved, but it is not written or spoken. This is a contract assumed to have been drawn. In this case, there is no written record nor any actual verbal agreement. A form of an implied contract is an implied warranty provided automatically by law. BREAKING DOWN 'Implied Contract '. Implied contract is an agreement which is not reduced to writing but is created on the basis of the behavior of the parties involved. Under an implied contract, it is suggested that the parties involved are acting under an agreement. <P> Implied In-Fact Contracts. An implied in-fact contract creates an obligation between the parties based on the facts of the situation. If the parties’ conduct or the circumstances suggests they had an agreement or understanding that created an obligation, then the law will find that they had an implied in-fact contract. <P> A court will often assume that some contract terms are implied. This allows the court to enforce the contract and follow through with the parties' intent and protect parties from fraud by omission or misrepresentation. One common example is an implied warranty of merchantability. A contract drafter normally attempts to cover all of the terms and provisions of the agreement. Implied terms are words or provisions that a court assumes were intended to be included in a contract. This means that the terms aren't expressly stated in the contract. <P> Contracts implied in fact are inferred from the facts and circumstances of the case or the conduct of the parties. However, such contracts are not formally or explicitly stated in words. The law makes no distinction between contracts created by words and those created by conduct. As a general rule, if an express contract between the parties is established, a contract embracing the identical subject cannot be implied in fact, as the law will not normally imply a substitute promise or contract for an express contra <P> An implied contract is created when two or more parties have no written contract, but the law creates an obligation in the interest of fairness based on the parties’ conduct or circumstances. There are two types of implied contracts: contracts that are implied in-fact and contracts that are implied at-law. An implied in-fact contract creates an obligation between the parties based on the facts of the situation. If the parties’ conduct or the circumstances suggests they had an agreement or understanding that created an obligation, then the law will find that they had an implied in-fact contract. <P> There are two types of contracts: an expressed contract, which states the promises in clear language, and an implied contract, which is where behaviors or actions lead parties to believe an agreement exists. An implied contract works differently. This type of contract evolves when no written contract is present, but circumstances may cause one person to become unjustly enriched as a result of their actions or an understanding exists. There are two types of implied contracts: 1 Implied in fact. 2 Implied in law. <P> For example, a contract is implied when a party knowingly accepts a benefit from another party in circumstances where the benefit cannot be considered a gift. Therefore, the party accepting the benefit is under a legal obligation to give fair value for the benefit received. Opposite of express contract. <P> Implied Contracts Although contracts that are implied in fact and contracts implied in law are both called implied contracts, a true implied contract consists of obligations arising from a mutual agreement and intent to promise, which have not been expressed in words. The courts may not create a contract for the parties. When the parties have no express or implied agreement on the essential terms of a contract, there is no contract. Courts are only empowered to enforce contracts, not to write them, for the parties. A contract, in order to be enforceable, must be a valid. | A contract is implied when a party knowingly accepts a benefit from another party in circumstances where the benefit cannot be considered a gift.

what is the average cost of moving out of state | <P> You may also decide to hire additional help for the moving to pack, load and unload the moving truck with your things. Based on the average cost per hour at about $90 for 3 people for 4 hours you would have to pay $320. This is one of the highest costs of all costs along with hiring a truck and paying for its fuel. The average moving cost per hour varies between $85 to $95 depending on the moving date. This is the average cost for hiring two men and a truck. Usually in summer it is more expensive to move as well as at the end of the month. So checking how much the hourly rate for movers is is one of the things to do before moving. <P> 5 Cost-Saving Tips for Moving Time. Decamp mid month and other ways to save without schlepping it yourself. By Laura Cohn, May 2010. This story has been updated since it originally published. 1. You Don't Have to Pay Full Freight. A cross-country move for a three-bedroom home can cost as much as $8,000. Figure $6,000 for the actual move (movers charge about $100 per 100 pounds, and the average room adds up to 1,000 pounds), $1,700 for the packing and $250 for the insurance. <P> The cost of a moving company is also typically included in the moving budget. These expenses, however, are just the beginning. To understand what is the average cost of moving, you have to dig a little deeper into your personal situation. The Cost at Point A. Estimates from around the country, show that moving companies charge about $25 an hour, for each mover on the job. To get an accurate idea of average moving costs let us use the following scenario. A family relocates from a 3-bedroom home in Los Angeles to New York City. The average weight of their belongings is around 10,000 lbs <P> Before you talk to moving companies, find out how much your move will cost. Enter in your information to the left, and we'll give you an estimate of how much truck rental, full service moving, and self service moving will cost. You can also get free multiple moving quotes. This moving cost calculator is intended to provide a range of moving estimates that you might receive from moving companies. It's JUST an estimated range. There are many factors that go into how much a moving company will charge for your move. <P> The average moving cost for hiring a truck to take you from Northern Virginia to Boston for example would cost you approximately between $650 and $750. If you decide to hire a truck for moving, this would cost you on average between $650 and $750 which is a price that does not include fuel cost. The average moving cost per hour varies between $85 to $95 depending on the moving date. This is the average cost for hiring two men and a truck. Usually in summer it is more expensive to move as well as at the end of the month. So checking how much the hourly rate for movers is is one of the things to do before moving. <P> The cost will also vary depending on the mileage, how far your move is. But since you're looking for a ballpark figure, I would say about $10,000+ for a move from say a state like Florida to Connecticut--that's with the full service. Another option is to rent a moving truck-you do all the packing, loading and driving. This last option works out to be the cheapest. Other factors that would affect the cost are: whether or not you would need your car to be transported-that would cost extra, per vehicle. <P> The average cost of truck rental for the purposes of one way moving depends on how long one wants to move. The first day costs around $10, while 4 days costs around $20. Another option is to rent a moving truck-you do all the packing, loading and driving. This last option works out to be the cheapest. Other factors that would affect the cost are: whether or not you would need your car to be transported-that would cost extra, per vehicle. <P> Average Moving Cost to do it Yourself. Signing for an insurance would be one of the small costs and it is about $100. Also include in your calculation a cost for hotel. Especially if your moving is at a bigger distance or out of state, you will certainly have to spend at least one night out. Depending on the prices in your area the approximate cost for one night at a hotel would be on average about $80. The average moving cost per hour varies between $85 to $95 depending on the moving date. This is the average cost for hiring two men and a truck.

how long do savannah monitors get | <P> They are carnivores and prone to obesity, therefore it is vital to monitor the weight of your savannah monitor to prevent excess weight gain. Feeding juveniles a few times a week is fine but adult savannahs may only need to eat once a week. Savannah monitors will grow to be about 3 to 4 feet long. Regular handling will make them more tame but like all monitors, if they are not a captive bred baby or are not handled often savannah monitors can become aggressive. <P> An adult savannah monitor’s cage size should be AT LEAST 5-6 feet long x 4-6 feet deep and 3-4 feet high. Because of the large size requirements for savannah monitor enclosures, cages often need to be hand constructed of wood and plexiglass or glass. Savannah monitor cages MUST be made of glass or plexiglass. THEY ARE POISONOUS. Adult Savannah Monitors over three feet long should be fed two to three times weekly, juveniles more often. Savannahs will gorge themselves with whatever is placed in front of them, so be very careful not to overfeed. <P> Neonate Care. Once you have neonate savannah monitors, set them up in groups of two or three in terraria about 18 inches long, 12 inches wide and 13 inches tall. A standard 15-gallon tank will be fine. However, an ideal height is 3 feet, so the young monitors can climb. At the very least you need a large terrarium measuring at least 6 feet long, 6 feet wide and 6 feet tall with at least 3 feet of soil substrate. A mature pair of savannah monitors should be at least 1.5 years old or more. Sexing monitors can be tricky, even for experts. <P> The Savannah monitors in captivity tend to be larger than their wild counterparts, due to food being more regularly available: no forced fasting from lack of available prey during the prolonged dry periods, periods that can last from 3-6 months, depending on where the lizard is originally from. While 4 ft STL specimens are rare in the wild, some may reach this length in captivity. Bennett reports wild hatchlings to be around 5 inches (13 cm) STL and 0.25 oz (6-7 gm), with wild adults averaging 13 inches (33 cm) SVL, 25 inches (64 cm) STL. <P> Enclosures for adult savannah monitors can get quite expensive so you may want to look into making your own. Hatchlings only need a 20-gallon aquarium with a mesh lid until they are 10-12 inches long. Adults will need a floor space of 8 x3 as a minimum, and the more room for them to move around in, the better. They are on the smaller side of the monitor family, and are great pets to own if you are looking for something larger than a bearded dragon. Appearance. A savannah monitor has the potential to reach over three feet in length. It can take two or three years for a savannah monitor to reach its full size. These monitors are a dusty brown or grey, and do not have a lot of coloration. When properly cared for, savannah monitors can live for 10-15 years <P> That would be at least 6 feet for every cage dimension. Others, pointing out that young monitors are arboreal and spend much of their time in trees, recommend a terrarium 8 or 9 feet tall. I favor keeping young savannah monitors in terraria measuring about 36 inches long, 24 inches wide and 15 to 20 inches tall. This provides a confined space that allows you to closely examine the lizard, so you can make sure it is eating and look for early signs of ill health. For savannah monitors, the air temperature under the basking spot should be between 105 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The material under the hotspot, usually a rock, may reach a surface temperature of 135 to 145 degrees, and this is fine. <P> Report Abuse. Savannah Monitors typically 2.5 to 4 feet, although rare 5 foot specimens are known. Plan on 4 feet by 8 feet of floor space. Juveniles can start out in a large tank (e.g. 55 gallon) but will grow quickly so new owners might want to start with an adult sized custom enclosure. | two or three years |
what causes water blisters | <P> Blisters-Topic Overview. Blisters are fluid-filled bumps that look like bubbles on the skin. You may develop a blister on your foot when you wear new shoes that rub against your skin or on your hand when you work in the garden without wearing gloves. Home treatment is often all that is needed for this type of blister. Other types of injuries to the skin that may cause a blister include: <P> Blisters are pockets of fluid that form on the skin, often as a reaction to rubbing, friction or burns. A blister is formed by the body's defence mechanisms to help protect the skin against further damage and to promote healing. Some blisters are caused by conditions such as chickenpox and impetigo. Blisters Don't pop the blister; the skin covering the blister helps protect it from infection. Gently wash the area with mild soap and water or a cleansing towel and then apply antibacterial cream. Cover it with gauze and secure with hypoallergenic tape to help protect the skin and prevent <P> Causes of blisters. Blisters are most often caused by skin being damaged by friction or heat. Certain medical conditions also cause blisters to appear. The damaged upper layer of skin (epidermis) tears away from the layers beneath and fluid (serum) collects in the space to create a blister <P> A blister is a collection of clear fluid trapped between or beneath the top layer of skin, the epidermis. Blisters, which are often called “water blisters,” often break open and the fluid inside is released onto the skin. Blisters, also known as vesicles, can occur in all age groups and populations. A blood blister is a specific type of blister that is due to damage to blood vessels and tissues just under the skin, which causes blood and other fluids to pool and form a bump. Blood blisters typically form after a strong pinch of the tissues, but there are other causes as well <P> Water blisters are actually comprised of blood serum, minus the clotting agents and blood cells. When the body detects damage to the outer layers of the skin, it will send blood to the area to heal and cool the skin. Acting as a protective shield, the serum/water pads the wound and prevents it from further harm. <P> For vesiculation in geology, see vesicular texture. A blister is a small pocket of fluid within the upper layers of the skin, typically caused by forceful rubbing (friction), burning, freezing, chemical exposure or infection. Most blisters are filled with a clear fluid called serum or plasma. However, blisters can be filled with blood (known as blood blisters) or with pus (if they become infected). The word blister entered English in the 14th century. A blister may form when the skin has been damaged by friction or rubbing, heat, cold or chemical exposure. Fluid collects between the epidermis —the upper layer of the skin —and the layers below. This fluid cushions the tissue underneath, protecting it from further damage and allowing it to heal. <P> 1 Burns, if severe enough, can produce blistering. 2 This includes burns from heat, chemicals, and sunburns. 3 Allergic eczema is a skin condition that is caused or worsened by allergens and can produce blisters. 4 Another type of eczema, dyshidrotic eczema, also causes blistering, but its cause is unknown. 1 It can cause red and inflamed skin, and also blistering. 2 Burns, if severe enough, can produce blistering. 3 This includes burns from heat, chemicals, and sunburns. 4 <P> Blisters are small raised areas that are filled with fluid and located in the superficial layer of the skin. They look like bubbles on the surface of the skin. Although they are often caused by irritation or friction (such as with a poorly fitting shoe), blisters can also represent disease processes. Depending upon the cause of the blisters, blisters may occur singly or in groups. In contrast to abscesses and boils, which are collections of inflammatory fluid found deep in the tissues, blisters are found in the most superficial layer of skin. Small fluid-filled blisters are medically known as vesicles. | The body detects damage to the outer layers of the skin, it will send blood to the area to heal and cool the skin. |
describe a typical greek polis | <P> A polis (plural: poleis) was the typical structure of a community in the ancient Greek world. A polis consisted of an urban centre, often fortified and with a sacred centre built on a natural acropolis or harbour, which controlled a surrounding territory (chora) of land. Like a state, each polis was also involved in international affairs, both with other poleis and non-Greek states in the areas of trade, political alliances and wars. <P> Definition: The polis (plural, poleis) was the ancient Greek city-state. The word politics comes from this Greek word. In the ancient world, the polis was a nucleus, the central urban area that could also have controlled the surrounding countryside. (The word polis could also refer to the city's body of citizens.) This surrounding countryside (chora or ge) could also be considered part of the polis. Also Known As: city-state.

This translation is misleading because the ancient Greek polis really shares few common features with a modern city; in fact, the differences are much greater in number and of far greater significance than the similarities. The differences are even greater when we compare the Greek polis and the modern nation <P> The term polis has, therefore, been translated as ‘ city-state ’ as there was typically only one city and because an individual polis was independent from other poleis in terms of political, judicial, legal, religious and social institutions and practices, each polis was in effect a state. Like a state, each polis was also involved in international affairs, both with other poleis and non-Greek states in the areas of trade, political alliances and wars. <P> Acropolis (as in the Athenian Acropolis) is not THE city.

what temperature to bake salmon | <P> Directions. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, on a non-stick baking sheet or in a non-stick pan with an oven-proof handle. Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with the Toasted Almond Parsley Salad and squash, if desired <P> Oven Temperature. Another thing that determines how long the salmon is baked is oven temperature. Typically, recipes for baking salmon call for an oven temperature of 350 to 450 degrees. The salmon should always be put into a pre-heated oven. Cooking in an oven that hasn't been pre-heated can cause drying of the fish. <P> Report Abuse. I bake salmon all the time. I line my pan with aluminum foil, place the salmon fillet in the pan, put on my favorite seasonings/toppings, seal it up, and bake it in a preheated 400º oven. If the topping is thick, like a mayonnaise topping with onion powder and dill sprinkled over it, my 8 oz piece of salmon takes about 30 minutes to cook <P> The best way to cook the thicker fillets is to use 400° as the set temperature and bake the fish for 18-20 minutes. If a lower heat is desired, season the fillet and wrap it in foil, sealing it tightly and bake at 350° for about 25-30 minutes. Salmon must always be cooked at about 400° Farenheit for optimal results. Fish cooks fast and must be baked at a high temperature to kill bacteria and cook the flesh evenly. The lowest possible temperature to cook Salmon is 350°, but this may result in a dried fish, unless it is completely wrapped in foil. For optimal baking results, each fillet or steak should be coated with olive oil, margarine or butter and then about 1 teaspoon of lemon juice should be drizzled over it <P> 1 Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on prepared baking sheet. 2 Mix remaining oil, thyme, and lemon zest in a small bowl. 3 Spread thyme mixture over salmon fillets, dividing equally. 4 Season with salt and pepper. 5 Let stand 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. 6 Bake salmon until just opaque in center, 15-18 minutes. 1 Brush with 1/2 tablespoon oil. 2 Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on prepared baking sheet. 3 Mix remaining oil, thyme, and lemon zest in a small bowl. 4 Spread thyme mixture over salmon fillets, dividing equally. 5 Season with salt and pepper. 6 <P> Bake Until Opaque and Flaky. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F for fillets or 350 degrees F for a dressed fish. You can bake the fillets at a lower temperature, if desired, but remember to increase the cooking time. Bake salmon fillets or steaks, uncovered, for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness. For a dressed salmon, bake for 6 to 9 minutes per 8 ounces of fish. To test for doneness, insert a fork into the salmon and gently twist. <P> Place the salmon in the roasting pan: Place the salmon in the roasting pan, skin-side down. Transfer to the oven. Roast for 4 to 6 minutes per half-inch thickness of salmon: Roasting time depends on the thickness of your salmon, as determined by the thickest part of the salmon fillet. For every half-inch of salmon, roast 4 to 6 minutes — 4 minutes will give you salmon that is still a touch rare, 6 minutes will thoroughly cook it. <P> 1 Preheat oven to 275°F.

what is an anemia profile test | <P> The Anemia Panel is a comprehensive panel that includes a CBC, Ferritin, Folates, Total Iron Binding Capacity with Iron, Reticulocyte Count, Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid. A CBC (Complete Blood Count) looks at important parameters of your blood including hemoglobin level, white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Anemia is a lower than normal red blood cell count or the lack of hemoglobin in your red blood cells, resulting in a wide range of symptoms. Anemia can cause fatigue, headaches, shortness of breath, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and a number of other symptoms. <P> Anemia is a condition that occurs when the number of red blood cells (RBCs) and/or the amount of hemoglobin found in the red blood cells drops below normal. Red blood cells and the hemoglobin contained within them are necessary to transport and deliver oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. These include people with diets poor in iron and vitamins, chronic diseases such as kidney disease, diabetes, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, a family history of inherited anemia, chronic infections such as tuberculosis or HIV, and those who have had significant blood loss from injury or surgery. <P> Sample Report. Anemia occurs when you have less than the normal number of red blood cells in your blood or when the red blood cells in your blood don't have enough hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein that gives the red color to your blood. Its main job is to carry oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body. <P> If the CBC results confirm you have anemia, you may need other blood tests to find out what's causing the condition, how severe it is, and the best way to treat it. Reticulocyte count. This test measures the number of reticulocytes (re-TIK-u-lo-sites) in your blood. Reticulocytes are young, immature red blood cells. If you have iron-deficiency anemia, your red blood cells will look smaller and paler than normal. Tests to measure iron levels. These tests can show how much iron has been used from your body's stored iron. Tests to measure iron levels include: 1 Serum iron. <P> Anemia is a blood disorder that is defined as: 1 having fewer red blood cells than normal, or. 2 having less hemoglobin than normal (hemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that carries oxygen). Vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia: If you have this form of anemia because your stomach does not absorb vitamin B-12 well, the usual treatment is a shot of vitamin B-12 once a month. In some cases your health care provider may prescribe an oral tablet. <P> Anemia is a condition that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a main part of red blood cells and binds oxygen. If you have too few or abnormal red blood cells, or your hemoglobin is abnormal or low, the cells in your body will not get enough oxygen. Symptoms of anemia -- like fatigue -- occur because organs aren't getting what they need to function properly. <P> Iron deficiency anemia: This most common form of anemia results from not having enough iron in the blood. Iron is the main component of hemoglobin. Iron deficiency anemia may be caused by a lack of iron in the diet or a loss of blood. Pregnant women may have this form of anemia because the baby uses the mother's iron to make red blood cells and to grow. Vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia: If you have this form of anemia because your stomach does not absorb vitamin B-12 well, the usual treatment is a shot of vitamin B-12 once a month. In some cases your health care provider may prescribe an oral tablet. <P> If your doctor suspects that bleeding in your stomach or intestines is causing your anemia, you will have tests to determine the cause of the bleeding. These may include: 1 A fecal occult blood test (FOBT), which looks for blood in stool samples. 2 A colonoscopy. <P> Other Blood Tests. If the CBC results confirm that you have anemia, you may need other blood tests to find out what type of anemia you have and how severe it is. Reticulocyte count. A reticulocyte (re-TIK-u-lo-site) count measures the number of young red blood cells in your blood. For this test, your doctor removes a small amount of bone marrow tissue through a needle. The tissue is examined to check the number and type of cells in the bone marrow. You may not need bone marrow tests if blood tests show what's causing your hemolytic anemia. | If your doctor suspects that bleeding in your stomach or intestines is causing your anemia, you will have tests to determine the cause of the bleeding. |
what causes a collapsed trachea in dogs | <P> 1 Tracheal collapse is a chronic, progressive disease of the trachea that primarily strikes certain small breed dogs. 2 Tracheal collapse can be either congenital (present from birth) or acquired. 3 The acquired form of the condition is often caused by chronic respiratory disease, Cushing’s disease or heart disease. The collapse can involve the bronchi that feed air to the lungs, which results in serious airway obstruction in the dog. Symptoms Tracheal collapse is most common in small breed dogs like the Chihuahua, Lhasa apso, Maltese, Pomeranian, pug, Shih Tzu, toy poodle and the Yorkie. <P> Dog collapsed trachea is often the cause of obstruction of the airway and coughing in a dog. The direct cause is not known, but there are several factors that may contribute to the cause. Most commonly, the cause is likely abnormal synthesis of the cartilage in the trachea. <P> In this article. Tracheal collapse is a common cause of airway obstruction in dogs. The trachea, or “windpipe,” is a tube made up of sturdy rings of cartilage through which air is transported to and from the lungs. Sometimes, however, the tracheal rings begin to collapse, and as air is squeezed through, a characteristic honking cough results. A honking cough in a toy-breed dog is highly suggestive of collapsing trachea, but a definitive diagnosis may require additional tests. Radiographs may reveal an obviously collapsed trachea, although not always. <P> The trachea, or windpipe, is the tube connecting the throat to the lungs. Small rings of cartilage along the tracheal wall maintain the tube shape. In the dog, these rings do not completely encircle the windpipe, but only cover about 5/6 (83%) of the circumference. A thin membrane of tissue completes the circle. <P> Tracheal collapse is a chronic, progressive disease involving the windpipe, or trachea. The trachea is somewhat like a vacuum cleaner hose that contains small rings, in this case cartilage, that keep the airways open. The rings are C-shaped, with the open part of the C facing upward. <P> Tracheal stent in a dog. Tracheal collapse in dogs is a condition characterized by incomplete formation or weakening of the cartilagenous rings of the trachea resulting in flattening of the trachea. It can be congenital or acquired, and extrathoracic or intrathoracic (inside or outside the thoracic cavity. <P> Learn the dangers of a collapsed trachea in dogs. The trachea or windpipe connects your mouth and nose to the lungs. Made of muscle and cartilage, the trachea is the essential tube that brings the air you breathe to your lungs where the oxygen eventually travels to the bloodstream and organs. A collapsed trachea is rarely an issue in younger dogs. Most dogs with tracheal health issues develop problems around six or seven years of age. When a dog's trachea collapses, there are a number of symptoms. <P> Tracheal Collapse in Dogs. The trachea is the large tube that carries air from the nose and throat to the small airways (bronchi) that go to the lungs. Collapse of the trachea occurs when there is a narrowing of the tracheal cavity (lumen) during breathing. <P> The trachea (also known as a windpipe) is made up of hard rings of cartilage and carries air from the nose and throat to small airways (bronchi) that go to the lungs. Tracheal collapse is a common cause of airway obstruction that occurs when these rings of cartilage collapse. | Dog collapsed trachea is often the cause of obstruction of the airway and coughing in a dog. |

what test for glaucoma | <P> Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers a glaucoma test once every 12 months for people at high risk for glaucoma. The screening must be done or supervised by an eye doctor who's legally allowed to do this test in your state. <P> Order your free copy ». Early detection, through regular and complete eye exams, is the key to protecting your vision from damage caused by glaucoma. A complete eye exam includes five common tests to detect glaucoma. It is important to have your eyes examined regularly. Your eyes should be tested: 1 before age 40, every two to four years. 2 from age 40 to age 54, every one to three years. 3 from age 55 to 64, every one to two years <P> A glaucoma test is usually part of a routine eye exam. Both types of glaucoma tests measure internal pressure of the eye. One glaucoma test involves measuring what happens when a puff of air is blown across the surface of the eye. (A puff test) Another test uses a special device (in conjunction with eye-numbing drops) to touch the surface of the eye to measure eye pressure. <P> To detect glaucoma, your eye care professional will do the following tests: Visual acuity: This eye chart test measures how well you see at various distances. Visual Field: This test measures your side (peripheral) vision. It helps your eye care professional find out if you have lost side vision, a sign of glaucoma. But, this test alone cannot detect glaucoma. Glaucoma is found most often during an eye examination through dilated pupils. This means drops are put into the eyes during the exam to enlarge the pupils. This allows the eye care professional to see more of the inside of the eye to check for signs <P> 1 Eye pressure. 2 Tonometry measures the pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure, or IOP). 3 Vision tests. 4 These include tests to check for visual acuity and loss of side and central vision (perimetry testing). 1 Tonometry measures the pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure, or IOP). 2 Vision tests. 3 These include tests to check for visual acuity and loss of side and central vision (perimetry testing). 4 Cornea thickness. 5 Tests such as ultrasound pachymetry measure the thickness of the clear front surface of the eye (cornea). <P> Tests for Glaucoma. Glaucoma is detected through a comprehensive eye exam that includes a visual acuity test, visual field test, dilated eye exam, tonometry, and pachymetry. A visual acuity test uses an eye chart test to measure how well you see at various distances. A visual field test measures your side or peripheral vision. It helps your eye care professional tell if you have lost side vision, a sign of glaucoma. Click for more information. In a dilated eye exam, drops are placed in your eyes to widen, or dilate, the pupils. In tonometry, an instrument measures the pressure inside the eye. Numbing drops may be applied to your eye for this test. With pachymetry, a numbing drop is applied to your eye. Your eye care professional uses an ultrasonic wave instrument to measure the thickness of your cornea. <P> Tests and diagnosis discussion for Glaucoma: Many people may know of the air puff test or other tests used to measure eye pressure in an eye examination. But, this test alone cannot detect glaucoma. Glaucoma is found most often during an eye examination through dilated pupils. This means drops are put into the eyes during the exam to enlarge the pupils. This allows the eye care professional to see more of the inside of the eye to check for signs of glaucoma. <P> Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. A major risk factor is increased pressure in the eye. The disorders can be roughly divided into two main categories: open-angle and closed-angle (or angle closure ) glaucoma. <P> Other tests determine whether you have glaucoma and how advanced your glaucoma may be. Most diagnostic tests need to be repeated on a regular basis to follow the presence or progression of glaucoma. 1 Air puff test: The air puff test is the most common. <P> Glaucoma tests are designed to test your eyes for one of the key symptoms of the disease – increased eye pressure – however only a comprehensive eye exam can reveal whether or not you have glaucoma. Increased pressure inside the eye is often a key indicator of glaucoma, though not exclusively so. One glaucoma test involves measuring what happens when a puff of air is blown across the surface of the eye. (A puff test) Another test uses a special device (in conjunction with eye-numbing drops) to touch the surface of the eye to measure eye pressure. | Visual acuity test, visual field test, dilated eye exam, tonometry, and pachymetry. |
what is brown sugar made of | <P> Depending on the variety of brown sugar, molasses is either added back to refined white sugar or left intact with the sugar crystals during the refining process. Brown sugar is prized for its deep, rich flavor and color. Because molasses is hydroscopic, brown sugar and the baked goods made with it retain moisture well. Brown sugar also contains a slightly higher mineral content than regular refined white sugar due to the presence of molasses. <P> Brown cane sugar is a combination of sugar and molasses, refined without any added colorings, flavorings, or coatings. Formed using the traditional method of crystallization, each C&H® brown sugar crystal is brown all the way through. If cane sugar is not specified on the label, the sugar may be beet sugar. <P> Light brown sugar has less molasses per total volume of sugar (about 3.5% according to Rose Levy Beranbaum) while dark brown sugar has more (6.5%). You can easily see the difference in their makeup using just your eyeballs: dark brown sugar is darker in color and looks more like molasses syrup. <P> : If you want to make light brown sugar, this is what I did, I used 1 tablespoon of molasses per one cup of sugar and this makes a much lighter brown sugar, mine was a nice golden brown doing it with this ratio. : Just thought I'd throw that in there for all of the people on here who are asking. <P> To make brown sugar you need one cup of white sugar and one tablespoon of molasses. Mix the two together -- this job is faster if you use an electric mixer -- until completely incorporated. Use it or store it -- it doesn't matter, because you just made brown sugar. <P> It is either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar consisting of sugar crystals with some residual molasses content (natural brown sugar), or it is produced by the addition of molasses to refined white sugar (commercial brown sugar). <P> Brown sugar is a sucrose sugar product with a distinctive brown color due to the presence of molasses. | One cup of white sugar and one tablespoon of molasses. |
average gpa of a medical student | <P> If you are concerned and applying with a low GPA, it could be worth your while to consider the following two options: 1. Time off: The average age of entering medical students is now 24, with a considerable number of students applying later. Not only do medical schools appreciate mature applicants who learned from their mistakes, but if you take time off you will have more time to prepare a more competitive application. A lower than average GPA doesn’t preclude attending medical school, but does raise challenges. By Veritas Prep. + More. Strong GPAs, MCAT scores, and admissions essays are crucial for getting into medical school. However, sometimes life can throw unexpected roadblocks in your way. <P> If both MCAT and GPA are lower, admission to medical school becomes much harder. However, having said that, there is more to the overall application than the MCAT and GPA alone. An otherwise stellar application can also overcome a lower GPA and MCAT score – to a point. The 3.0 GPA is a cutoff for most medical schools. However, some applicants are accepted every year that have a lower GPA, so this value is by no means absolute. Again, it all depends on the strength of the overall application…and the MCAT score. For example, for the 2005 school year, 155 applicants were accepted to allopathic medical schools (out of 17,978 total accepted that year) with a GPA that was lower than a 2.75. <P> My daughter goes to school where it is very hard to get A. She is 4th year student and finally got A-last year. She has around 3.40 GPA, which is considered average for those students applying to medical school. The school has statistics that say if have B+ average then have 80% chance of getting accepted in medical school. Unfortunately, courses that are taken as part of International Program aren’t included in the GPA. While we’ve tackled the question of how many people get into medical school, we turn our attention today to the average GPA for medical school. It’s stressful to think that a few bad grades in your undergraduate career can impact your chances of getting in medical school. A low GPA or low MCAT score can be overcome! <P> Getting into medical school is difficult, and applicants are frequently rejected because their grades are not high enough. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the average GPA of an applicant who matriculated at a medical school was 3.68 in 2012, close to an A-minus average. This puts a lot of pressure on medical school hopefuls because it is a challenge to do that well every semester. <P> The average GPA of entering medical students was 3.64 on a 4.0 scale. The average total score on the MCAT was 34 (for the MS program in Clinical and Biomedical Investigations, MCAT scores may be substituted for the GREs). Average total MCAT score was 32. University of California, Los Angeles David Geffen School of Medicine http://dgsom.healthsciences.ucla.edu/dgsom/education/pages/mep For 2013, there were 8,107 applicants and 151 admitted students. The average GPA of entering medical students was a 3.78 on a 4.0 scale. <P> For 2013, there were 7,752 applicants and 184 admitted students. The average GPA of entering medical students was 3.64 on a 4.0 scale. The average total score on the MCAT was 34 (for the MS program in Clinical and. Biomedical Investigations, MCAT scores may be substituted for the GREs). Average total MCAT score was 32. University of California, Los Angeles David Geffen School of Medicine http://dgsom.healthsciences.ucla.edu/dgsom/education/pages/mep For 2013, there were 8,107 applicants and 151 admitted students. The average GPA of entering medical students was a 3.78 on a 4.0 scale. <P> The average GPA of students admitted to Harvard Medical School is 3.93. It will undoubtedly be more difficult to gain admission into schools with high average admitted GPA scores. Be realistic in your expectations and apply to schools accordingly. Medical School Size. There are 709 students currently enrolled at Harvard Medical School, which is roughly 27% more than the average for all Medical Schools. 167 new students matriculated in the most recent first-year medical school class. <P> Because of this, the most important factors for getting into medical school are your GPA and MCAT scores. To be in a realistic position, you should be in line with the average MCAT scores and GPA for other matriculants, which is about a 3.6 GPA and 30 MCAT. <P> Maybe at some schools. See the tables in “Using MCAT Data in Medical Student Selection” from AAAMC. 65% of applicants with MCAT 27-29 are accepted with GPA 3.8-4.0. Refer to the MSAR (from AAMC) for school-specific information. The table below illustrates the combination of overall undergraduate AMCAS GPA and MCAT scores of UW Medical School applicants (from the WWAMI states, including MSTP WWAMI) that were accepted (green) and not accepted (red) in the last academic year. | GPA was 3.64 on a 4.0 scale. |
how much does it cost to add a garage to my house | <P> The problem and biggest expense is engineering a slab and perhaps moving concrete back to make it happen. I'd guess starting at $20,000 if the house is built and now you want to add garage space. If building from start seems like many builders will add for $8000-$15000 1 car space depending on the neighborhood. <P> Adding a garage to a home can require an extensive amount of work, and for this project we will assess the cost of building an attached garage of 676 square feet (26'x26') to a pre-existing home (this is going to easily accommodate two vehicles, provide storage and even have room for a small work area). 1 According to author Stu Silverman the average cost of adding a garage begins at roughly $7,500, and for a two-car garage the average costs will go much higher. 2 This sort of structure will average at $27,040. 3 The resale value of this update would hold at $21,635, or a nearly 81% return on investment <P> Grittihs) we got a quote in less than 45 mins. for a 1.5 car garage the estimate is $12,354 for a 2 car garage (with a short approaching driveway) will cost us $16,325 this includes the demolition of old garage, 30 year roof, all electrical, slab, garage door, an entrance door and 1 window. 1 Accomplished do-it-yourselfers can cut costs considerably; materials for a single-car garage with a door but no windows start at $3,000-$4,000, depending on the size and style. <P> For the garage addition, the typical costs include: 1 According to author Stu Silverman the average cost of adding a garage begins at roughly $7,500, and for a two-car garage the average costs will go much higher. 2 This sort of structure will average at $27,040. 1 According to author Stu Silverman the average cost of adding a garage begins at roughly $7,500, and for a two-car garage the average costs will go much higher. 2 This sort of structure will average at $27,040. 3 The resale value of this update would hold at $21,635, or a nearly 81% return on investment <P> Denise Sands, Agent, Naples, FL. The cost to build a garage can vary from state to state. In PA, I have seen the price to be a low of $15,000 to a high of $25,000 for a 2 car garage. However, as with most improvements to your home, the value of your property does not increase proportionately. You can expect to receive an appraised value of $5,000 to $10,000 for this addition <P> For the garage addition, the typical costs include: 1 According to author Stu Silverman the average cost of adding a garage begins at roughly $7,500, and for a two-car garage the average costs will go much higher. 2 The above figures place the garage addition at $40 per square foo t. 1 According to author Stu Silverman the average cost of adding a garage begins at roughly $7,500, and for a two-car garage the average costs will go much higher. 2 This sort of structure will average at $27,040. 3 The resale value of this update would hold at $21,635, or a nearly 81% return on investmen <P> 1 The cost of adding a porch can range from $50-$120 for do-it-yourself materials for a simple concrete slab to $3,000-$6,000 to have someone pour a 50x20-foot slab. 1 Adding new floor space for a 400-square-foot family room can run $10,000-$20,000 for a do-it-yourself project, or $30,000-$100,000 or more for an addition built by a contractor. <P> 1 Upgrading the quality of materials can bump the cost to $55 a square foot, or $13,200 for a minimum single-car structure, $21,000 for a two-car garage and $47,000 or more for the dream version. 1 Accomplished do-it-yourselfers can cut costs considerably; materials for a single-car garage with a door but no windows start at $3,000-$4,000, depending on the size and style. <P> According to CostHelper, contractors usually charge $35 to $45 per square foot for a basic garage, and up to $55 per square foot for a garage built with higher quality materials. For a basic single-car garage, that comes to between $9,240 and $11,880. A higher-end, single-car structure might cost as much as $14,520. According to Garaga, a single garage should be at least 12 feet wide by 22 feet long (264 square feet), and a double garage should be 18 feet wide by 22 feet long (396 square feet). Building bigger can bring the price up. Costhelper says an 850-square-foot garage with plenty of storage space could cost $38,000 or more. | Basic single-car garage,that comes to between $9,240 and $11,880. |
how long does a diet change take to affect cholesterol | <P> 1 Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. 2 Omega-3 fatty acids don't affect LDL cholesterol. 3 They have other heart benefits, such as helping to increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or good) cholesterol, reducing your triglycerides, a type of fat in your blood, and reducing blood pressure. <P> Your total cholesterol level is in the Desirable range, but your level of bad LDL cholesterol is High. This may mean that your level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or good cholesterol, is too low. It is best to have a high level of good HDL and a low level of bad LDL. <P> Food can affect the amounts of cholesterol in your blood. Some foods raise cholesterol. Other foods help lower cholesterol. The table below lists different foods and drinks and how they affect your total cholesterol level, your HDL (good) cholesterol, and your LDL (bad) cholesterol. If you get more exercise, your level of good HDL cholesterol may increase, which could also help to keep your levels of LDL and total cholesterol in check. Your total cholesterol level is in the Desirable range, but your level of bad LDL cholesterol is High. <P> It usually takes 2-4 weeks for a change in diet to start to influence cholesterol levels. However, the full effect of a change in diet may not be seen for up to 3 months. The correct answer is: 3 months. Usually, doctors suggest patients try a cholesterol-lowering diet alone for about three months. If, after three months, your LDL cholesterol is still high, you may need to do more. Your doctor may recommend more therapeutic lifestyle changes (called TLC) as your next step. TLC includes three parts: a cholesterol-lowering diet, regular physical activity, and weight management <P> 5. Eliminate trans fats Trans fats raise LDL (bad) cholesterol, lower HDL (good) cholesterol, and raise triglycerides. 6. Understand triglycerides Triglycerides are impacted the most by your simple sugar and alcohol intake. 7. Increase dietary fiber You need 25-35 grams of dietary fiber daily, especially soluble fiber. 85% of all the cholesterol in your body is made by your liver. Only 15% comes from your diet. If you don't get it in your diet, your liver simply makes more. INFLAMMATION is the real culprit along with homocysteine amino acid from B vitamin deficiencies. <P> Low-fat diets were found to have very little effect on cholesterol levels. However, if you follow a low-fat diet and lose weight, you will most likely reduce your cholesterol level since weight loss lowers your LDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides and raises your HDL cholesterol. Losing just 5 to 10 percent of your weight reduces your risk of heart disease. Fasting Versus Not Fasting. LDL, the “bad” cholesterol, and triglycerides are affected by the food you’ve eaten recently. Total cholesterol and HDL, the “good” cholesterol, take longer to change. For this reason, your health care provider may ask you to fast before your cholesterol screening. The American Heart Association recommends you get your cholesterol checked every four to six years <P> Diet. In order to lower LDL cholesterol, reduce saturated fat in your diet and increase dietary fiber. Saturated fats increase the body’s production of LDL cholesterol. Dr. Gianos says to cut saturated fat to less than 10 grams per day, and to eat 30 grams of fiber per day, 10 grams of which should be insoluble fiber.

how did solidarity affect communist rule in poland | <P> In Poland, the Roundtable Talks between the government and Solidarity-led opposition led to semi-free elections in 1989. By the end of August a Solidarity-led coalition government was formed and in December Tadeusz Mazowiecki was elected Prime Minister. In December 1990, Wałęsa was elected President of Poland. Since then Solidarity has become a more traditional, liberal trade union. Its membership had dropped to 680,000 by 2010 and 400,000 by 2011. <P> It is widely believed that Solidarity undermined Communism in Poland, partly by disrupting the Communist program of production through strikes, but more by transferring the trust and loyalty of the Polish people from Communism to itself. Solidarity was able to undermine communism further in the early seventies by the action that the Gomulka took against it. On the twelfth of December 1970, the Prime Minister announced a series of unexpected price changes. Consumer goods only rose a small percentage in price, but certain foods had huge price increases. <P> As a result of the Round Table Agreement between the Polish government and the Solidarity-led opposition, elections were held in Poland on 4 June 1989, in which the opposition were allowed to field candidates against the Communist Party-the first free elections in any Soviet bloc country. In December 1990, Wałęsa was elected President of Poland. Since then Solidarity has become a more traditional, liberal trade union. Its membership had dropped to 680,000 by 2010 and 400,000 by 2011. <P> Solidarity was a trade union that organised Polish workers in the 1980s and stood up to the communist government of the time. Its leader was Lech Walesa. In 1989, Solidarity was able to propose a candidate for its election, and Walesa won the 1990 election for the presidency.

Their removal from the political scene precluded the possibility of a democratic transition called for by the Yalta agreements. The communist Polish United Workers' Party dissolved itself in 1990, and transformed into the Social Democracy of the Republic of Poland.

how fairtrade started | <P> 1 The concept of 'fair trade' has been around for over 40 years but a formal labelling scheme didn't get off the ground until the late 1980s. 2 In 1988: launch of the first Trade label, Max Havelaar, under the initiative of the Dutch development agency. We have fair trade so that all the communities in developing countries can earn a fair amount of money from producing crops. They also get decent working conditions, commitmen … t from the buyers, local sustainability and fair terms of trade for the farmers and producers. <P> The fair trade movement has undergone several important changes since its early days following World War II. Fair trade, first seen as a form of charity advocated by religious organizations, has radically changed in structure, philosophy and approach. The past fifty years have witnessed massive changes in the diversity of fair trade proponents, the products traded and their distribution networks. The first fair trade agricultural products were coffee and tea, quickly followed by dried fruits, cocoa, sugar, fruit juices, rice, spices and nuts. Coffee quickly became the main growth engine behind fair trade: between 25 to 50% of the total alternative trading organization turnover in 2005 came from coffee sales. <P> Fair Trade has been growing at 37% year to year increase, making people wonder whether Fair Trade is the biggest growing market after The Internet. How did Fair Trade begin? Fair Trade started in the mid 1940s and early 1950s in developed countries. » printer friendly version well i know that......... the fair trade movement, also known as the trade justice movement, promotes international labour, environment and social standards for the production of traded goods and services. <P> 1 What is Fair Trade? www.FTRN.org Fair Trade is a lot of things: a social justice movement, an alternative business model, a system of global commerce, a tool for international development, a faith-based activity. It means different things to different people. There is no single, regulatory, authoritative body. <P> Step 1. Write a business plan for your fair trade business. Decide whether you will open a store or sell fair trade items online. Visit other fair trade stores to see what they stock. Determine how you will differentiate your store from others like it by offering different products or creating a different atmosphere within your store. <P> Earth Divas' Blog. When the owner of Earth Divas, Ed Edmundson, decided to start a company that sold 100% fair trade items, he had no idea how to get started. Learning the ins and outs of how to source and supply fair trade items was a huge undertaking. And, like any business owner he made some mistakes along the way! <P> Who we are. Fairtrade is a global movement with a strong and active presence in the UK, represented by the Fairtrade Foundation. Fairtrade is a movement for change that works directly with businesses, consumers and campaigners to make trade deliver for farmers and workers. The international Fairtrade system represents the world's largest and most recognised fair trade system <P> Additionally, Fair Trade USA, formerly a licensing agency for the Fairtrade International label, broke from the system and is implementing its own fair trade labelling scheme, which has resulted in controversy due to its inclusion of independent smallholders and estates for all crops. One of the main tenets of fair trade is that farmers receive a fair price, but this does not mean that the larger amount of money paid for fair trade cocoa goes directly to the farmers. In reality, much of this money goes to community projects such as water wells rather than to individual farmers. <P> Fair trade is a social movement whose stated goal is to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions and to promote sustainability. Members of the movement advocate the payment of higher prices to exporters, as well as higher social and environmental standards.

what does the right pulmonary artery do | <P> Pulmonary artery: One of the two vessels which are formed as terminal branches of the pulmonary trunk and convey un-aerated blood to the lungs. The two pulmonary arteries differ in length and anatomy. The right pulmonary artery is the longer of the two. <P> Pulmonary artery is one of the two vessels branching from the pulmonary trunk is an integral part of the whole heart anatomy and is the vessel that transports de-oxygenated blood to the lungs coming from the right ventricles. The right pulmonary artery is longer of the two arteries. <P> The main pulmonary artery is responsible for transporting oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart and back toward the lungs. The main artery splits into the left pulmonary artery and the right pulmonary artery, each of which directs the blood to the corresponding lung. Along with the umbilical arteries, these are the sole arteries in the body that transport oxygen-depleted blood. The umbilical arteries are located in the uterus. <P> The pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs, to drop off carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. There are two pulmonary arteries, one going to the left lung and one to the right. Knowledge provided by me-I'm a Paramedic. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. <P> The pulmonary artery transports blood from the heart to the lungs. While most major arteries branch off from the aorta, the main pulmonary artery extends from the right ventricle of the heart and branches into left and right pulmonary arteries. | It directs the blood to the right lung. |
what occurs when the cerebral cortex interprets the nerve impulses from sense organs | <P> *Sensations : Sensation: also known as a perception, is a feeling that occurs when the brain interprets sensory impulses. - the sensation depends on which region of the brain recieves the impulse. Projection: the process by which the brain causes a sensation to seem to come from the region of the body being stimulted. 1 pain impulses originating from the head travel on the sensory fibers of cranial nerves. 2 impulses that do not originate from the brain travel on the sensory fibers of spinal nerves and processed in the gray matter, then transmitted to the brain. <P> Central relay station for sensory impulses ascending from other parts of the nervous system to the cerebral cortex. Receives all sensory impulses (except smell) and channels them to appropriate regions of cortex for interpretation. Produces a general awareness of certain sensations, such as pain, touch, and temperature. Cerebellum. Communicates with other parts of the CNS by means of three pairs of nerve tracts called Cerebellar puduncles. Brings sensory information concerning position of limbs, joints, and other body parts to the cerebellum. Sends correcting impulses to the midbrain. <P> The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory receptors, neural pathways, and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception. <P> How the brain interprets electrical impulses sent by neurons. University of California, San Diego neurobiologists have uncovered evidence that sheds light on the long-standing mystery of how the brain makes sense of the information contained in electrical impulses sent to it by millions of neurons from the body. <P> The Neuron. The neuron, a nerve cell, is the functional unit of the nervous system that carries the impulse (the message) to the appropriate part of the nervous system or interprets the impulse and allows a response. There are three types of neurons and each has different functions. 3) motor neurons —carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands. The Response Mechanism. When a stimulus is received by a sensory neuron, the impulse (or message) is carried through fibrous extensions called dendrites to the cell body. <P> 1 A sensation is a feeling that occurs when the brain interprets sensory impulses. 2 The nerve impulses that travel away from the receptors into the central nervous system are similar, because of this the resulting sensation depends on what part of the brain recieves the impulse. 1 pain impulses originating from the head travel on the sensory fibers of cranial nerves. 2 impulses that do not originate from the brain travel on the sensory fibers of spinal nerves and processed in the gray matter, then transmitted to the brain. <P> The ventral root contains efferent (motor) fibers that carry messages from the spinal cord to the effectors. Cell bodies of the efferent fibers reside in the spinal cord gray matter. These roots become nerves that innervate (transmit nerve impulses to) muscles and organs throughout the body. Twelve pairs of cranial nerves transmit from special sensory receptors information on the senses of balance, smell, sight, taste, and hearing. Sensory neurons connect sensory receptors to the CNS. The CNS processes the signal, and transmits a message back to an effector organ (an organ that responds to a nerve impulse from the CNS) through a motor neuron. The PNS has two parts: the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. <P> cerebrum. The largest section of the brain. It is located in the upper portion and is the area that possesses our thoughts, judgment, memory, and association skills, and the ability to discriminate between items. The outer layer of the cerebrum is the cerebral cortex, which is composed of folds of gray matter. The brain is one of the largest organs in the body and coordinates most body activities. It is the center for all thought, memory, judgment, and emotion. Each part of the brain is responsible for controlling different body functions, such as temperature regulation and breathing. <P> Sensory neurons receive impulses and carry them from the sense organs to the spinal cord or brain. Interneurons connect sensory and motor neurons and interpret the impulse. Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands. 1 Draw and label the structure of a typical nerve cell. 3) motor neurons —carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands.

how to prepare catechol | <P> Not to be confused with Catechin, also sometimes called catechol. Also not to be confused with the taxonomic umbrella-term Catch-all of a type or genus. Catechol, also known as pyrocatechol or 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C 6 H 4 (OH) 2. It is the ortho isomer of the three isomeric benzenediols. This colorless compound occurs naturally in trace amounts. (The name catechol has also been used as a chemical class name, where it refers generally to the catechins .). <P> Add 1 cm3 of catechol solution to each boiling tube. The catechol is a substrate for the enzyme to act on.9. Finally, add 1 cm3 of the enzyme, catechol oxidase, extracted from the banana, to each boiling tube.10. Filter the contents of each test tube with the No. 6 filter papers. <P> Methods. Catechol oxidase is the enzyme responsible for the browning of fruit. It is easy to prepare from a number of different sources – bananas are particularly good – and the reaction is readily followed using a colorimeter. Investigating the effect of pH. A reaction mix containing 0.01M catechol should give a good response at 25°C. (0.3mls 0.1M catechol + 2.6mls buffer added to 0.1mls enzyme extract in a standard cuvette). The initial straight line portion of the graph of absorbance against time gives V i – the initial rate of reaction. <P> Catechol oxidase carries out the oxidation of phenols such as catechol, using dioxygen (O 2). In the presence of catechol, benzoquinone is formed (see reaction below). Hydrogens removed from catechol combine with oxygen to form water. Catechol is present in small quantities in the vacuoles of cells of many plant tissues. Catechol oxidase is present in the cell cytoplasm. If the plant tissues are damaged, the catechol is released and the enzyme converts the catechol to ortho-quinone, which is a natural antiseptic. <P> Write down your hypothesis about the effect of the range of pH on enzyme activity: Set up 7 test tubes with 40 drops of a different buffered pH solution in each. Add 10 drops of potato extract to each and stir. Then add 10 drops of 1% catechol to each and stir. We will be using the enzyme catecholase (or catechol oxidase) that is common in plants; it is present in the freshly squeezed potato juice that has been provided. The substrates of catecholase are catechol and oxygen. The substrates react with one another within the active site of the enzyme. <P> When you begin handling the Catechol solution you will need to use gloves and safety glasses or goggles as it is a poison with a splash hazard. Report all spills to your instructor immediately. Any solution contaminated with catechol must be disposed of in the toxic waste beaker in the hood. 1 Mix 1 mL of the supernatant (crude extract) with 19 mL of ice cold deionized water (see bottle in refrigerator) to make 20 mL of dilute extract. 2 This will be your enzyme solution so keep it on ice. 3 Set vortexer to touch and the speed to between 5 & 6. 4 Do not add catechol to the tubes until ready with a stopwatch <P> Catechol oxidase is an enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of phenols such as catechol. Catechol oxidase is a copper-containing enzyme whose activity is similar to that of tyrosinase, a related class of copper oxidases. Catechol is present in small quantities in the vacuoles of cells of many plant tissues. Catechol oxidase is present in the cell cytoplasm. If the plant tissues are damaged, the catechol is released and the enzyme converts the catechol to ortho-quinone, which is a natural antiseptic. <P> As such it would be 0.1 g (pure catechol) in 100 ml or 1 g in 1000 ml on a m/v basis. I know biologists aren't good at maths, but this does take the biscuit. Don't tar us all with the same brush, I do this for a living! (Original post by ChemistBoy).

Last edited by ChemistBoy; 24-11-2009 at 18:19. vinylate. <P> The reaction catalysed is the oxidation of catechol to the yellow product 1,2-benzoquinone. catechol + ½O 2 → 1,2-benzoquinone + H 2 O. On exposure to air there is a further reaction in which the yellow benzoquinone is converted to dark brown melanin. Investigating the effect of pH.

explain how the lymphatic system protects the body from infection | <P> The lymphatic system. The diagram shows the lymph vessels, lymph nodes and the other organs that make up the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is similar to the blood circulation. The lymph vessels branch through all parts of the body like the arteries and veins that carry blood. <P> Outside of the system of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, there are masses of non-encapsulated lymphatic tissue known as lymphatic nodules. The lymphatic nodules are associated with the mucous membranes of the body, where they work to protect the body from pathogens entering the body through open body cavities. Lymph Nodes. Lymph nodes are small, kidney-shaped organs of the lymphatic system. There are several hundred lymph nodes found mostly throughout the thorax and abdomen of the body with the highest concentrations in the axillary (armpit) and inguinal (groin) regions. <P> The lymphatic system has three functions: 1 The removal of excess fluids from body tissues. 2 Absorption of fatty acids and subsequent transport of fat, chyle, to the circulatory system. 3 Production of immune cells (such as lymphocytes, monocytes, and antibody producing cells called plasma cells). The lymphatic system plays an integral role in the immune functions of the body. It is the first line of defense against disease. This network of vessels and nodes transports and filters lymph fluid containing antibodies and lymphocytes (good) and bacteria (bad). <P> The primary function of the lymph system is to protect the body from infection and disease via the immune response. It does this by production, maintenance and distribution of lymphocytes (infection fighting cells). The lymph system also helps to maintain fluid movement between the cells and the bloodstream. The lymph vessels which absorb, collect and transport lymph throughout the body are equipped with one way valves which propel the lymph in one direction. The lymph fluid is moved by muscle contraction, breathing, arterial pulsations or application of external pressure, such as massage or compression of some sort. <P> What the lymphatic system is. The lymphatic system is a system of thin tubes and lymph nodes that run throughout the body. These tubes are called lymph vessels or lymphatic vessels. The lymph system is an important part of our immune system. It plays a role in fighting bacteria and other infections and destroying old or abnormal cells, such as cancer cells. You can read detailed information about the immune system and cancer. The diagram shows the lymph vessels, lymph nodes and the other organs that make up the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is similar to the blood circulation. The lymph vessels branch through all parts of the body like the arteries and veins that carry blood. <P> View full size image. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body. The lymphatic system primarily consists of lymphatic vessels, which are similar to the circulatory system's veins and capillaries. <P> The lymphatic system is a network of very small tubes (or vessels) that drain lymph fluid from all over the body. The major parts of the lymph tissue are located in the bone marrow, spleen, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and the tonsils. The heart, lungs, intestines, liver, and skin also contain lymphatic tissue.
