The weight of an adult female polar bear is normally between the weights of 100-250 kg. The weight of an adult male polar bear is normally between the weights of 350-700 kg. The height of a adult polar bear is usually between 122-160 cm. The average adult height recorded is 133 cm. The length of an adult female polar bear is normally between 180-240 cm. The length of an adult male polar bear is usually between 240-300 cm. These sizes make the polar bears the largest bears in the world <P> For bears, height is usually measured at the shoulder when the animal is on all fours, according to Polar Bear International. On average, polar bears on all fours are 3.5 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 meters) tall, but when standing on its hind legs, an adult male polar bear may reach more than 10 feet (3 m). Lengthwise, they are 7.25 to 8 feet (2.2 to 2.5 m) from head to rump | 180-240 cm |

Hopefully you are also fortunate enough to not have to pay a water bill, or trash bill. My electric bill for a one bedroom apartment last month was upwards of $150, and my thermostat was set at 68 degrees all month. Cell phone: $75. Considering the average single mother makes around $10 an hour, or $400 a week/$1,600 a month, pre-tax, that's pretty much impossible. Factor in hourly wages lost due to a child's illness, or lack of child care, and they've lost their ability to make paycheck-to-paycheck work. <P> By Jennifer Wolf. Government assistance can be hard to come by. Many hardworking single parents earn too much to qualify for benefits like food stamps, but earn too little to actually get by each month. If this describes your situation, know that help is available, and that you're not alone.

what is the characteristic of a gecko | <P> Leopard Geckos are relatively large for Geckos, hatchlings tend to be on average 6.5 to 8.4 cm and will weigh about 3 grams while adults tend to be around 20.5cm to 27.5 weighing around 45 to 60 grams. The skin of a leopard gecko is very durable which provides protection from the rough terrains they are found in. <P> The gecko is a small to medium species of lizard that is found in the more temperate and tropical regions of the world. Geckos are more commonly found around the Equator and in the Southern Hemisphere although a few species of gecko are found north of the Equator in warmer regions. Geckos primarily eat insects and worms, but some of the larger species of gecko hunt small birds, reptiles and even small mammals such as mice. Some species of gecko are also known to eat a small amount of plant matter such as moss. <P> They use chirping sounds in social interactions with other geckos. They are the most species-rich group of lizards, with about 1,500 different species worldwide. The New Latin gekko and English gecko stem from the Indonesian-Malay gēkoq, which is imitative of the sound the animals make. Geckos are lizards belonging to the infraorder Gekkota, found in warm climates throughout the world. They range from 1.6 to 60 cm. Most geckos cannot blink, but they often lick their eyes to keep them clean and moist. <P> Leopard geckos are a terrestrial species that lack lamellae, which is the padding on the bottom of certain species that allows them the ability to climb vertical surfaces. Instead, leopard geckos are equipped with small sharp nails extending from the end of each digit.

cardiac tissue definition | <P> Cardiac muscle: A type of muscle tissue that is found only in the heart and is distinguishable from the two other forms of muscle, smooth muscle (that moves internal organs, such as the bowels, and vessels, such as the artery walls) and skeletal muscle (that powers joints). <P> Heart muscle: A type of muscle with unique features only found in the heart. The heart muscle, or cardiac muscle, is medically called the myocardium (myo- being the prefix denoting muscle). <P> In particular, the myocardium is the muscle tissue of the heart and is found in between the epicardium and the endocardium. Similar to other types of muscles, the cardiac muscle is formed by the process of myogenesis and originates from its primordial cell, the cardiomyoblast. The skeletal muscle is the muscle attached to the skeleton and is responsible for the voluntary movement of the skeletal system. The smooth muscle is the type of muscle found in the viscera as well as blood vessels of the vertebrates. The cardiac muscle is the muscle of the heart. <P> Coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood out of the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the left/body/systemic and right/lungs/pulmonary circulatory systems. This complex mechanism illustrates systole of the heart. Cardiac muscle cells, unlike most other tissues in the body, rely on an available blood and electrical supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove waste products such as carbon dioxide.

The smooth muscle is the type of muscle found in the viscera as well as blood vessels of the vertebrates. The cardiac muscle is the muscle of the heart. <P> An isolated cardiac muscle cell, beating. Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is involuntary striated muscle that is found in the walls and histological foundation of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. These three types of muscle all form in the process of myogenesis. The cells that constitute cardiac muscle, called cardiomyocytes or myocardiocytes, contain only three nuclei.

It is important to realise that coordinating conjunctions join grammatical structures of similar form. Consider the following sentences. A clause is a grammatical structure that requires a subject noun phrase and a verb. We will study this structure in greater detail later. Complex sentences are sentences in which structure class words join an independent clause with a dependent clause (the clause introduced by the structure-class word). <P> Word Root of STRUCTURE. The Latin word struere, meaning “ to build, ” and its form structus give us the root struct. Words from the Latin struere have something to do with building. A struct ure is something that was built, such as a house. To con struct is to build by combining parts together. <P> If you are just starting French, you don't need to distinguish among nouns, adjectives, prepositions, etc. What is interesting about structure words and content words is that each group makes up almost exactly 50% of any text. Try counting the words in the Phantom of the Opera texts above, or in any other. To practice these words, go over the text several times, working out its meaning, and getting used to the structure words. <P> Morphology [Top]. Morphology is the study of the structure and form of words in language or a language, including inflection, derivation, and the formation of compounds. At the basic level, words are made of morphemes.. These are the smallest units of meaning: roots and affixes (prefixes and suffixes). We can study the structure of language in a variety of ways. <P> In some cases, structure-class words function in more than one capacity, and, in these cases functional tests can help you determine which part of speech the word is functioning as in the sentence.

maximum per unit home subsidy | <P> Historical. HOME maximum per-unit subsidy limits are based on the Section 221(d)(3) limits for elevator-type projects. These limits are determined by HUD's Office of Multi-Family Housing Programs. Limits for certain base cities are issued. However, there is no comprehensive list of these limits for all jurisdictions. <P> To ensure consistency with the provisions of section 212(e)(1) of NAHA and 24 CFR 92.250(a) , the HOME maximum per-unit subsidy limit that HUD can approve for a PJ cannot exceed 240 percent of the Section 234 basic mortgage limit (i.e. 100 percent of the basic mortgage limit plus up to 140 percent in high cost areas). <P> OHFA has just published new maximum per-unit subsidy limits for the HOME Program for the State of Oklahoma, at the direction of HUD. This link will take you to the web page where the limits are located: http://www.ok.gov/ohfa/Developers/HOME_Investment_Partnerships_Program/Application_Resources.html. <P> Pursuant to federal HOME requirements discussed at: Notice-CPD-15-003-Interim-Policy-on-Maximum-Per-Unit-Subsidy-Limits-for-the-Home-Program.pdf, the per-unit subsidy limits for most counties will be capped at 240% of the current base limit approved by Congress. <P> Below are the updated 221(d)(3) maximum per unit subsidy limits for affordable housing projects utilizing funding under the HOME Program. <P> The HOME regulations authorizes the CPD Division in the HUD Field Office to increase a PJ's HOME per-unit subsidy limit when HUD's Office of Multi-Family Housing has increased the PJ's high cost percentage (HCP) above 210 percent of the basic Section 221(d)(3) mortgage limit. <P> Therefore, in order to calculate the one-bedroom HOME maximum per-unit subsidy limit in Richmond, Virginia, the one-bedroom basic limit of $65,611 is multiplied by the capped HCP of 240 percent for a HOME maximum per-unit subsidy limit of $157,466.40. | The HOME maximum per-unit subsidy limit that HUD can approve for a PJ cannot exceed 240 percent of the Section 234 basic mortgage limit (i.e. 100 percent of the basic mortgage limit plus up to 140 percent in high cost areas). |
what does onset of insulin mean | <P> Insulin: A natural hormone made by the pancreas that controls the level of the sugar glucose in the blood. Insulin permits cells to use glucose for energy. Cells cannot utilize glucose without insulin. Diabetes: The failure to make insulin or to respond to it constitutes diabetes mellitus. A person with this type of diabetes must inject exogenous insulin (insulin from sources outside the body). In type II diabetes, the beta cells produce insulin, but cells throughout the body do not respond normally to it. <P> NPH insulin is an insulin with an intermediate-duration of action. It has an onset of action about 2 hours following administration and a duration of action of 18 to 26 hours. Its maximal effect is 4 to 12 hours after administration. A person with this type of diabetes must inject exogenous insulin (insulin from sources outside the body). In type II diabetes, the beta cells produce insulin, but cells throughout the body do not respond normally to it. <P> regular insulin, a fast-acting insulin prescribed in the treatment of diabetes mellitus when the desired action is relatively prompt, intense, and short-acting. It can be mixed with long-acting forms of insulin. <P> There is not a precise correlation between the peak blood level of insulin and the glucose level as the decline in glucose associated with peak insulin effect is somewhat delayed meaning that it takes time for the the insulin to work. It means when the insulin is having its strongest effect. When this occurs will be dependent on what type of insulin it is. Your blood sugar should be neither highest or lowest, but within the target range – assuming you're doing it right that is. Mr TEL · 5 years ago. <P> Insulin. A hormone secreted by the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels that induces hypoglycemia. Insulin regulates the body's use of glucose and the levels of glucose in the blood by acting to open the cells so that they can intake glucose. INSULIN AND GLUCAGON FUNCTIONS. A hormone secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas. As a drug, insulin is used principally to control diabetes mellitus. Insulin therapy is required in the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus because patients with this illness do not make enough insulin on their own to survive. <P> Insulin is a medicine that lowers blood glucose (sugar). There are several types of insulin. Each type of insulin has a certain time period in which it works. In order to understand insulin action, it is helpful to know the onset, peak and duration of the insulin you take. 1 Onset refers to when the insulin starts to work. 2 Peak refers to when the insulin works hardest. <P> ~~Humulin 70/30 is a mixture of 70% Human Insulin Isophane Suspension and 30% Human Insulin Injection. It is an intermediate-acting insulin combined with the more rapid onset of action of regular insulin. The duration of activity may last up to 24 hours following injection. Human insulin 70/30 is a mixture of 70% Human Insulin Isophane Suspension and 30% Human Insulin Injection. It is an intermediate-acting insulin combined with the more rapid onset of action of regular insulin. <P> • Rapid breathing. Causes of Adult Onset Diabetes. The onset of diabetes happens when the body cannot produce enough insulin or when the body cannot control what it does with the insulin it produces. <P> In people with type 1 diabetes, the pancreas no longer makes insulin. The beta cells have been destroyed and they need insulin shots to use glucose from meals. People with type 2 diabetes make insulin, but their bodies don't respond well to it. Some people with type 2 diabetes need diabetes pills or insulin shots to help their bodies use glucose for energy. Insulin cannot be taken as a pill because it would be broken down during digestion just like the protein in food. It must be injected into the fat under your skin for it to get into your blood. | Insulin is a medicine that lowers blood glucose (sugar) |

syphilis definition and symptoms | <P> Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. Latent syphilis is defined as having serologic proof of infection without symptoms of disease. It is further described as either early (less than 1 year after secondary syphilis) or late (more than 1 year after secondary syphilis) in the United States. <P> Causes and Risk Factors. Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Syphilis is passed from one person to another through contact with a syphilis sore. The sores are usually painless and can go unnoticed. Sores can be found on the external genitals, vagina, penis or in the anus. 3. Late or Latent Stage. In this stage, syphilis typically has no symptoms at all. If left untreated a person can remain in this stage of the condition for the rest of his or her life, or the disease can progress to the next stage. <P> Syphilis: Introduction. Syphilis is one type of sexually transmitted disease. Syphilis is the result of a bacterial infection of the genital tract by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Syphilis is passed from one person another during direct sexual contact with a syphilis lesion that involves vaginal, oral, or anal sex. There are three stages of syphilis, and each stage of syphilis has distinct symptoms. The first stage (primary syphilis) is characterized by the development of a painless lesion called a chancre. The chancre usually develops in the genital area. <P> Other human diseases caused by related Treponema pallidum include yaws (subspecies pertenue), pinta (subspecies carateum), and bejel (subspecies endemicum). The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary). Latent syphilis is defined as having serologic proof of infection without symptoms of disease. It is further described as either early (less than 1 year after secondary syphilis) or late (more than 1 year after secondary syphilis) in the United States. <P> Syphilis is transmitted from person to person by direct contact with a syphilitic sore, known as a chancre. Chancres occur mainly on the external genitals, vagina, anus, or in the rectum. Chancres also can occur on the lips and in the mouth. Transmission of syphilis occurs during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Skin rashes and/or mucous membrane lesions (sores in the mouth, vagina, or anus) mark the second stage of symptoms. This stage typically starts with the development of a rash on one or more areas of the body. <P> Syphilis Definition. Syphilis is a dangerous infectious disease, notifiable, highly contagious, which is present worldwide. The pathogen (the bacterium Treponema pallidum) is transmitted through bodily contact directly (usually by sexual intercourse). Syphilis is a disease known for centuries. <P> You can get syphilis by direct contact with a syphilis sore during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Sores can be found on the penis, vagina, anus, in the rectum, or on the lips and in the mouth. Syphilis can also be spread from an infected mother to her unborn baby. Syphilis is an STD that can cause long-term complications if not treated correctly. Symptoms in adults are divided into stages. These stages are primary, secondary, latent, and late syphilis. <P> Syphilis is a highly contagious disease spread primarily by sexual activity, including oral and anal sex. Occasionally, the disease can be passed to another person through prolonged kissing or close bodily contact. Although this disease is spread from sores, the vast majority of those sores go unrecognized. Secondary stage rash on the palms of the hands. The secondary stage may last one to three months and begins within six weeks to six months after exposure. People with secondary syphilis experience a rosy copper penny rash typically on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. <P> Latent syphilis is a phase of the disease characterized by relative absence of external symptoms. The term latent does not mean that the disease is not progressing or that the patient cannot infect others. For example, pregnant women can transmit syphilis to their unborn children during the latency period. Chancres may still be present but are usually healing. Secondary syphilis is a systemic infection marked by the eruption of skin rashes and ulcers in the mucous membranes. The skin rash may mimic a number of other skin disorders such as drug reactions, rubella, ringworm, mononucleosis, and pityriasis rosea. <P> Syphilis is caused by a spirochete, Treponema pallidum. A spirochete is a thin spiralor coil-shaped bacterium that enters the body through the mucous membranes or breaks in the skin. In 90% of cases, the spirochete is transmitted by sexual contact. Chancres may still be present but are usually healing. Secondary syphilis is a systemic infection marked by the eruption of skin rashes and ulcers in the mucous membranes. The skin rash may mimic a number of other skin disorders such as drug reactions, rubella, ringworm, mononucleosis, and pityriasis rosea. | It is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum.atent syphilis is defined as having serologic proof of infection without symptoms of disease. |

when did canada become truly independent | <P> It was only after the war that Canada was finally recognized for being a country of their own instead of another colony of Great Britain. Canada earned a seat in the League of Nations along with other strong, already independent countries like Russia and France. Today, Canada is a free, independent country home to many different Canadians of all nationalities and is know for being one of the most multicultural countries in the world[i]. <P> This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the British Empire, which became official with the Statute of Westminster of 1931 and completed in the Canada Act of 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament. The history of Canada covers the period from the arrival of Paleo-Indians thousands of years ago to the present day. Canada has been inhabited for millennia by distinctive groups of Aboriginal peoples, with distinct trade networks, spiritual beliefs, and social hierarchies. <P> The history of Canada dates back to the arrival of Paleo-Indians, and its territory has been inhabited by Aboriginal peoples for millennia. However, it was only in 1867 when Canada became a unified nation under the name Dominion of Canada. Canada was under British rule during the period of 1763 1867. The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1763 and under it, France ceded a large portion of its territory in present day Canada. <P> Confidence votes 80. Canadian Confederation happened on July 1st, 1867, however, this was not a declaration of independence as Canada was part of the British Empire. The Statute of Westminster in 1931 set the country as an independent realm with allegiance to the Crown as the 'Dominion of Canada'. The current Head of the House of Windsor remains the monarch of Canada. <P> Making the world better, one answer at a time. Technically Canada never actually ever became a sovereign nation. In 1867 when the British North American was first passed it allowed the creation of the dominion of Canada, not the nation of Canada. The dominion allowed Canada to govern herself internally but she still remained a part of the British Empire, much in the same way as Australia and New Zealand did at that time. The British North America Act of 1867 is the beginning of Canada as a nation, but not totally sovereign. The Statute of Westminster (1931) transferred several political powers from the UK parliament to the Canadian Parliament. <P> Best Answer: Canada officially became a country in July 1, 1867 when it signed the British North America Act or BNA Act. <P> It happened gradually over time. In 1867 Canada did officially become a country but under the British Crown it still had colonial status. The Statute of Westminster in 1931 set the country as an independent realm with allegiance to the Crown as the 'Dominion of Canada'. The current Head of the House of Windsor remains the monarch of Canada. <P> It's something unique and special to have and maintain. Canada's independence from Britain is a defining moment. With passing of British North Act in 1867, Canada became a dominion in the British Commonwealth and this did not mean that it was a fully independent country. Canada evolves over the years to become a one of the best countries. Showing Britain and to many other countries that they are capable of being independent. Canada wanted to be an independent country and by participating in world war one Canada started its journey to towards its independence. <P> Canada has been an independent country since 1931, and does not belong to the United Kingdom. But it is still a member of the British Commonwealth, also called the Commonwealth of Nations, which is made up of the United Kingdom and several countries that used to be part of the British Empire. | Since 1931 |

what are sufis | <P> There are many different sects of Sufism that emphasize different paths toward knowing Allah.

The practice of Sufism is the intention to go towards the Truth, by means of love and devotion. This is called the tarigat, the spiritual path or way towards God. The sufi is one who is a lover of Truth, who by means of love and devotion moves towards the Truth, towards the perfection which all are truly seeking. As necessitated by love's jealousy, the sufi is taken away from all except the Truth. <P> 1 Sufis believe that they are in a prominent position in relation to God. 2 The term suffab -- meaning, People of the Bench -- and the word suf which refers to the Sufis habit of wearing wool are two more popular supposed derivations of the word sufi. Sufism (Sufism) may be best described as a mystical practice that emphasizes certain unique rituals for guiding spiritual seekers into a direct encounter with God. <P> Neo-Sufism, pseudo-Sufism, and universal Sufism are terms used to denote forms of Sufism that do not require adherence to Shariah, or a Muslim faith. The terms are not always accepted by those it is applied to. Practitioners of Sufism hold that in its early stages of development Sufism effectively referred to nothing more than the internalization of Islam. According to one perspective, it is directly from the Qur'an, constantly recited, meditated, and experienced, that Sufism proceeded, in its origin and its development. <P> Practitioners of Sufism (Tasawwuf), referred to as Sufis (ṣūfī) (/ˈsuːfi/ ; صُوفِيّ), often belong to different ṭuruq or orders—congregations formed around a grand master referred to as a Mawla who maintains a direct chain of teachers back to the Prophet Muhammad. Practitioners of Sufism hold that in its early stages of development Sufism effectively referred to nothing more than the internalization of Islam. According to one perspective, it is directly from the Qur'an, constantly recited, meditated, and experienced, that Sufism proceeded, in its origin and its development. <P> Sufism or tasawwuf, as it is called in Arabic, is generally understood by scholars and Sufis to be the inner, mystical, or psycho-spiritual dimension of Islam. Today, however, many Muslims and non-Muslims believe that Sufism is outside the sphere of Islam. Nevertheless, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, one of the foremost scholars of Islam, in his article The Interior Life in Islam contends that Sufism is simply the name for the inner or esoteric dimension of Islam. After nearly 30 years of the study of Sufism, I would say that in spite of its many variations and voluminous expressions, the essence of Sufi practice is quite simple. <P> It is noteworthy that in the ethical writings of the Sufis Al-Kusajri and Al-Harawi there are sections which treat of the same subjects as those treated in the Ḥovot ha-Lebabot and which bear the same titles: e.g., Bab al-Tawakkul; Bab al-Taubah; Bab al-Muḥasabah; Bab al-Tawaḍu'; Bab al-Zuhd. Practitioners of Sufism hold that in its early stages of development Sufism effectively referred to nothing more than the internalization of Islam. According to one perspective, it is directly from the Qur'an, constantly recited, meditated, and experienced, that Sufism proceeded, in its origin and its development. <P> Classical Sufis were characterised by their attachment to dhikr, (a practice of repeating the names of God, often performed after prayers) and asceticism. Sufism gained adherents among a number of Muslims as a reaction against the worldliness of the early Umayyad Caliphate (661–750 CE). Practitioners of Sufism hold that in its early stages of development Sufism effectively referred to nothing more than the internalization of Islam. According to one perspective, it is directly from the Qur'an, constantly recited, meditated, and experienced, that Sufism proceeded, in its origin and its development. | There are many different sects of Sufism that emphasize different paths toward knowing Allah. Many religions have a mystical branch and Islam is no different – in Islam, the Sufis are the mystics. |
wes a urinalysis check for | <P> The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) is a relatively simple, inexpensive, non-specific test that has been used for many years to help detect inflammation associated with conditions such as infections, cancers, and autoimmune diseases. ESR is said to be a non-specific test because an elevated result often indicates the presence of inflammation but does not tell the health practitioner exactly where the inflammation is in the body or what is causing it. <P> The test is also ordered to monitor cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, to ensure that uric acid levels do not get dangerously high. The urine uric acid test may be ordered when a person suffers from recurrent kidney stones or has gout and needs to be monitored for formation of these stones. The uric acid blood test is ordered when a health care provider suspects that someone has a high uric acid level. Some people with high levels of uric acid have a disease called gout, which is a common form of arthritis. People with gout suffer from joint pain, most often in their toes, but in other joints as well <P> If you've only smoked one joint, it will probably only be detectable by a urine test for the 4-10 days afterwards.

what does pear shaped me | <P> Pear-shaped is a metaphorical term with several meanings, all in reference to the shape of a (European) pear, i.e. tapering towards the top. A failed bank robbery, for example, could be said to have gone pear-shaped. The origin for this use of the term is in dispute. The OED cites its origin as within the Royal Air Force; as of 2003 the earliest citation there is a quote in the 1983 book Air War South Atlantic. <P> Whether you're an apple (round in the middle), a pear (bigger on the bottom), or a chili pepper (narrow all over), losing weight is not one size fits all. Your body type is the key to figuring out the best diet and exercise program, says Marie Savard, MD, an ABC News medical contributor. <P> Best Answer: That's not pear-shaped, that's curvy. Trust me, pear shaped is different. Curvy is a good thing, at least if you're trying to attract straight men. I'm a straight man, and I love round things. Not just those round things, but those round things too. I have no idea why so many girls want to be so blasted skinny. And women have round things! The pear shape is round in some places but not others. I actually know several pear shaped women, in fact two of them are ex girlfriends. One of them has slight shoulders and itty bitty boobies (not a bad thing) on top, with a back porch big enough to stop a roaring freight train. <P> As a quick recap you have a pear shaped body when: 1 Your hips are wider than your shoulder. 2 Fat tends to accumulate on your thighs and sometimes the buttocks. 3 You tend to have an elongated waist and the legs tend to be shorter in comparison to the rest of your body. 4 You have a defined waist. 33. What i have noticed about pear shaped body is that I actually love the extreme contrast between the top and the bottom. Pear shape usually has a small upper body. I find it really beautiful if the upper is fitted (belted, body con, or peplum) and the bottom is flared (as in A line skirt flare). <P> The pear shape is a term loosely used to describe a body fat distribution that is localized to the lower half. This essentially means that the vast majority of fat tends to be stored in the hips/buttocks, thighs, and legs. <P> These are difficult to form perfectly, and are usually noticeably distorted—i.e., pear-shaped. Wikipedia confirms that yes, it does mean what you think-but the etymology is less certain: The third meaning is mostly limited to the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australasia. Eri -- it's worth noting that in England, if someone is, well, fat, you describe them as pear shaped. (Many English women are a bit of an English pear - i.e., chubby bum.) I would have guessed that is the origin, but I'm not sure. <P> Work with structured shoulders, shoulders pads and ruched sleeves-they are your pear body shape's essentials. This is a common and rather instinctive way of minimizing your hips, thighs and butt. I personally find this closet mantra restrictive because it excludes clothes that are 'no-nos' for your Pear body shape (eg. The skinny jeans just to mention a few). <P> up vote 1 down vote. To go pear shaped is an expression used to indicate that a scheme has not been perfectly executed. The phrase seems to have originated in British English in the late 1940s or early 1950s. I have come across several suggested origins, but the best, for me, is related to training aircraft pilots. Eri -- it's worth noting that in England, if someone is, well, fat, you describe them as pear shaped. (Many English women are a bit of an English pear - i.e., chubby bum.) I would have guessed that is the origin, but I'm not sure. <P> Pears. The pear-shaped woman carries most of her body fat around the hips, thighs, and buttocks. She will generally have a smaller upper body (smaller breasts) and a heavier lower body. The risks for the overweight pear-shaped woman are quite different to the apple shape. A pear-shaped woman will typically be more susceptible to cellulite and varicose veins. However recent research shows that the health benefits of the pear shape may not be what was first thought. | The pear-shaped woman carries most of her body fat around the hips, thighs, and buttocks.

what does INR result mean | <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: INR stands for International Normalized Ratio. As its name suggests, one INR result can be compared to another INR result regardless of how or where the result was obtained. So, the INR is really just the standard unit used to report the result of a PT test. <P> Ask your healthcare provider when and how you will get the results of the test. A PT/INR value higher than normal means your blood is taking longer than normal to form a clot. If you are taking a blood thinner, it means that the medicine is working. INR stands for international normalized ratio. The PT/INR test is usually done when you are taking a blood thinner (anticoagulant) medicine, such as warfarin (Coumadin), to prevent blood clots. Clots can block blood vessels and possibly cause a heart attack or stroke. This test measures the effect of the anticoagulant. <P> An INR blood test is used to monitor how well a patient's blood thinning medications, such as warfarin, are working. Blood thinning medications are prescribed for a prolonged period of time to patients to prevent the formation of blood clots. <P> INR stands for International Normalized Ratio. As its name suggests, one INR result can be compared to another INR result regardless of how or where the result was obtained. So, the INR is really just the standard unit used to report the result of a PT test. There are a few things worth mentioning about the INR. <P> If your PT/INR test result is too high, it means that your blood is clotting too slowly, and you are at risk of bleeding. Your dose of warfarin is too high. On the other hand, if your PT/INR test result is too low, your dose of warfarin may not be enough to protect your blood from clotting. In that case, your warfarin dose would be increased. Your doctor will increase or decrease the dose according to your PT/INR test result <P> A Stacy Wiegman, PharmD, Pharmacy, answered. If your PT/INR test result is too low, it means that your dose of warfarin may not be enough to protect your blood from clotting. Your warfarin dose needs to be increased. On the other hand, if your PT/INR test result is too high, it means that your blood is clotting too slowly and you are at risk of bleeding. In that case, your dose of warfarin would be reduced. <P> The international normalized ratio (INR) is a calculation based on results of a PT and is used to monitor individuals who are being treated with the blood-thinning medication (anticoagulant) warfarin (Coumadin®). Someone who is not taking warfarin would compare their PT test result to the normal range provided with the test result by the laboratory performing the test. A prolonged PT means that the blood is taking too long to form a clot. <P> Report Abuse. An INR is a test that measures the amount of time that it takes for your blood to clot after and injury. A normal test result for an INR is somewhere between 0.8 and 1.2 (if not on a blood thinner). So, basically your result is perfectly normal...which is very good. <P> Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider. The INR is a ratio, so it's just a number, not a number tied to time or another value. If you take blood thinners, also called anti-clotting drugs or anticoagulants, it's especially important to check your INR. The INR is figured out using the results of the prothrombin time (PT) test, which measures the time it takes for your blood to clot. The INR is an international standard for the PT. <P> For people taking warfarin, most laboratories report PT results that have been adjusted to the INR. These people should have an INR of 2.0 to 3.0 for basic blood-thinning needs. For some who have a high risk of a blood clot, the INR needs to be higher-about 2.5 to 3.5. Someone who is not taking warfarin would compare their PT test result to the normal range provided with the test result by the laboratory performing the test. A prolonged PT means that the blood is taking too long to form a clot. | An INR is a test that measures the amount of time that it takes for your blood to clot after and injury. |

what dissolves yttrium | <P> Yttrium, a very versatile element, is utilized for a variety of purposes that affect everyday life. To begin with, yttrium is commonly used in laser systems, used in surgeries, weapons, and measuring tools. Yttrium oxide is probably one of the most useful compounds of yttrium and is responsible for its most common uses. <P> Yttrium is a soft, silvery metal. Yttrium usually exists as a trivalent ion, Y 3+ , in its compounds. Most of its compounds are colorless. Yttrium’s properties are very similar to those of the rare earth elements of the lanthanide series. <P> Overview. Yttrium is one of four elements named for the same small town of Ytterby, Sweden. The other three elements are erbium, terbium, and ytterbium. The element was discovered in 1794 by Finnish chemist Johan Gadolin (1760-1852). <P> Yttrium also has several uses in the scientific field. For example, the yttrium iron garnet is used as a transmitter of acoustic energy. In addition to this, small amounts of yttrium (0.1 to 0.2%) are used to reduce the grain size in the elements chromium, molybdenum, zirconium, and titanium. <P> Yttrium, a rare earth metal, has a silver-grey color and metallic luster. It also appears highly crystalline. Yttrium displays chemical properties similar to those of rare earth elements. It dissolves in both mineral acids and alkalis, which are chemical opposites of one another. <P> Yttrium is a transition metal. Transition metals are those elements in Groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to each other. The element above yttrium in the periodic table is scandium. <P> Separating the two rare earth elements is a complicated process. Professor Tom Van Gerven from the Department of Chemical Engineering explains: The traditional method dissolves europium and yttrium in aqueous acid. <P> Yttrium has an exceptionally high affinity for oxygen, with a free energy of formation for the oxide of 1817 kJ mol -1, probably the greatest of any element. Yttrium also dissolves oxygen gas in relatively high concentrations. <P> The equipment typically used for this examination consists of a radiographic table, one or two x-ray tubesand a television-like monitor that is located in the examining room. Fluoroscopy, which converts x-raysinto video images, is used to watch and guide progress of the procedure. | In both mineral acids and alkalis |

comparison printers cost per page | <P> That figure will depend not only on the ink the printer uses for maintenance but what it actually puts on the page—and, of course, what the manufacturer charges for ink in the first place. Ink costs per ounce vary dramatically: from the $75-per-ounce figure down to about $13 per ounce. Printers. It's enough that printer ink might be the most expensive liquid you buy. Even the cheapest ink, at about $13 an ounce, costs more than, say, fine Champagne, while the priciest, at about $75 an ounce, is more costly than, say, Chanel No. 5 perfume. <P> Inkjet printers, although very inexpensive to purchase, often have a very high cost per page for cartridge supplies. It’s not uncommon for inkjet cost per page analyses to work out to be $0.25 to more than a $1 per page. Be sure to consider all of the costs when you attempt to compare printers! For a relatively low volume of 50 to 100 pages a month, the supply costs aren’t too bad! <P> For instance, if my color inkjet printer has a color cost per page of 7¢ while my color laser printer has a cost per page of 20¢, if I’m printing a 1,000 pages per month on my inkjet printer, my ink cartridge cost will add up to $70 per month, while my color laser printer’s cartridges will cost me $200 per month. In fact, cost per page can be considerably lower with these business-class inkjets versus color laser printers/All-in-Ones – for instance, 9 cents for inkjet color cost per page versus up to 26 cents for a comparable color laser printer/All-in-One. <P> At the request of Eastman Kodak Company, QualityLogic calculated and compared the Cost of Ink Per Page (CoIPP) of several Kodak All-in-One Printer models to competing printers selected by Kodak. Access the reports for each country by clicking on the maps below. <P> Lexmark T650n. ($749 direct). The cost per page for a number of single-function printers in the $500 and up price range falls between 1.7 and 1.8 cents, but the Lexmark T650n is closer to 1.7 cents than some of its direct competitors. In an office that prints 10,000 or more pages a month, even small differences can add up. With its 2.0 cent cost per page, the Samsung ML-2851ND can save as much as 2 cents per page, if not more, compared with some other single-function printers in the $150-$250 range. Beyond that it offers high-quality text and better-than-average paper handling with a 250-sheet tray and a built-in duplexer. <P> We've tracked the prices of 56 inkjet MFPs over the past two years, and the average cost per page for inks destined for a cheap printer (which we define as one costing less than $200) has consistently been higher than that for an expensive printer (one costing $200 or more). Our sample cheap printer is the $70 Canon Pixma MG2120. Not surprisingly, its ink costs are high: 6.3 cents per page for plain text documents and 14 cents per page for color printouts. Our sample expensive printer is the $300 HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer. Its ink cost for black pages is just 1.6 cents per page; and for four-color pages, 7.2 cents per page <P> For instance, a $20 cartridge that yields 400 pages has a cost per page of 5¢, while a $30 cartridge that yields 800 page has a cost per page of 3.7¢. In the past, inkjet printers were designed primarily for consumers and home use; they had very low purchase price, but cost per page was high. In fact, cost per page can be considerably lower with these business-class inkjets versus color laser printers/All-in-Ones – for instance, 9 cents for inkjet color cost per page versus up to 26 cents for a comparable color laser printer/All-in-One. <P> Three years after the initial purchase, the cheap printer's higher ink costs have ballooned to a total of $387--roughly 5.5 times the original price of the printer--but its total cost ($457) is still a little less than the expensive printer's total cost after three years ($478.83). Our sample cheap printer is the $70 Canon Pixma MG2120. Not surprisingly, its ink costs are high: 6.3 cents per page for plain text documents and 14 cents per page for color printouts. Our sample expensive printer is the $300 HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer. Its ink cost for black pages is just 1.6 cents per page; and for four-color pages, 7.2 cents per page <P> Laser Printer Cost Advantages. Consider that an entry level business Color Laser printer can be bought for less than $250. If one uses the same cost comparison method, the cost is less than $0.16 per page. ($231 street price divided by 1500 sheets = $0.154 per page). The savings become even greater when the costs of the printer and subsequent high capacity replacement toner cartridges are used and factored in over a 3 year period. It’s not uncommon for inkjet cost per page analyses to work out to be $0.25 to more than a $1 per page. Be sure to consider all of the costs when you attempt to compare printers! For a relatively low volume of 50 to 100 pages a month, the supply costs aren’t too bad! | Less than $0.16 per page. |

which aloe is good for skin | <P> Aloe moisturizes the skin without giving it a greasy feel, so it`s perfect for anyone with an oily skin complexion. For women who use mineral-based make-up, aloe vera acts as a moisturizer and is great for the face prior to the application to prevents skin drying. For men: Aloe vera gel can be used as an aftershave treatment as its healing properties can treat small cuts caused by shaving. 3. It treats acne. Here are 8 benefits of using aloe vera gel: 1. It treats sunburn. Aloe Vera helps with sunburn through its powerful healing activity at the epithelial level of the skin, a layer of cells that cover the body. It acts as a protective layer on the skin and helps replenish its moisture. <P> ALOE Overview Information. Aloe (often called aloe vera) produces two substances, gel and latex, which are used for medicines. Aloe gel is the clear, jelly-like substance found in the inner part of the aloe plant leaf. Aloe latex comes from just under the plant's skin and is yellow in color. But most people use aloe gel topically, as a remedy for skin conditions including burns, sunburn, frostbite, psoriasis, and cold sores. Some people also use aloe gel to help surgical wounds and bedsores heal faster. There is some science supporting these uses. <P> 1 Aloe vera is beneficial for cracked and dry skin. 2 Aloe vera oil can be used on the dry skin to make the skin normal and shiny. 3 Aloe Vera acts as a natural barrier and shields our skin from dangerous toxins. 4 Aloe vera is helpful for frostbite, burns, insect bites, blisters and allergic reactions. 1 Aloe vera oil can be used on the dry skin to make the skin normal and shiny. 2 Aloe Vera acts as a natural barrier and shields our skin from dangerous toxins. 3 <P> Instead of aloe vera you can apply coconut oil on your skin has it has a variety of dermatological benefits. Coconut oil can be used as a skin moisturizer, as a remedy for a condition that causes dry, rough, scaly skin and as an antiseptic. One of the most complete articles on this subject out there. <P> People with normal skin can use aloe vera gel without worrying about any side-effects. Use it daily to keep your skin in good health. This is a good pack to keep your skin looking smooth and supple. Also try these fruit face packs for normal skin. Steps: 1 Take one tbsp of aloe vera gel and mix it with one tbsp of gram flour (besan), one tsp of orange peel powder and some curd. 2 Apply this pack on your face and neck, avoiding the area around the eyes. <P> The NCCAM lists several conditions which there is insufficient evidence to rate Aloe’s use. They are treatments for burns, frostbite, cold sores, high cholesterol, lowering blood sugars in diabetics, bed sores, ulcerative cholitis, and skin damage caused by radiation treatment for cancer. So be careful! If you’re using a topical Aloe Vera for the treatment of a minor burn, or Psoriasis, then you’re good. If you’re using it for anything else, there might be problems. As I said at the beginning, it really depends on the study you read and who you ask! <P> Overview. The Aloe vera plant has been used for thousands of years to heal a variety of conditions, most notably burns, wounds, skin irritations, and constipation. It is grown in subtropical and tropical locations, including South Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean <P> Aloe vera is a very popular herbal remedy. The Aloe vera plant (also called Aloe barbadensis) is unique among plants for its importance in natural skin care. The skin is the largest organ in the human body and it really takes a beating. Aloe Vera can help alleviate this beating. 1 Aloe vera oil can be used on the dry skin to make the skin normal and shiny. 2 Aloe Vera acts as a natural barrier and shields our skin from dangerous toxins. 3 Aloe vera is helpful for frostbite, burns, insect bites, blisters and allergic reactions. <P> Aloe medications can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin. Aloe gel is taken by mouth for osteoarthritis, bowel diseases including ulcerative colitis, fever, itching and inflammation, and as a general tonic. But most people use aloe gel topically, as a remedy for skin conditions including burns, sunburn, frostbite, psoriasis, and cold sores. Some people also use aloe gel to help surgical wounds and bedsores heal faster. There is some science supporting these uses. <P> 1 Psoriasis. 2 Applying a cream containing 0.5% aloe for 4-8 weeks seems to reduce the skin plaques and decrease the severity of psoriasis. 3 However, using an aloe gel does not seem to improve other symptoms associated with psoriasis, including skin redness. But most people use aloe gel topically, as a remedy for skin conditions including burns, sunburn, frostbite, psoriasis, and cold sores. Some people also use aloe gel to help surgical wounds and bedsores heal faster. There is some science supporting these uses. | Aloe vera. |
what does the composition of a clastic sedimentary rock indicate | <P> Clastic sedimentary rocks form when individual grains (the sediment), made by fragments of rocks, minerals, or shells, are cemented together (the clastic sediemntary rock). These are the only type of rock that is NOT made simply of crystals, but rather fragments of other materials, broken and then reassembled together. <P> Sedimentary rocks form from sediment. Sediment is a general term that indicates loose grains (such as the sand at the beach) and chemical precipitates (such as crystals of salt). Sedimentary rocks can be subdivided in three categories: clastic, chemical, and biochemical sedimentary rocks. <P> Clastic Rocks. Clastic sedimentary rocks contain clasts. These are fragments or pieces of rock or minerals. The composition of clastic sedimentary rocks is divided into three types-clay/silt, sand and gravel. Clay and silt are less than 1/16 mm. These are not visible to the unaided eye. Sand is clasts between 1/16 and 2 mm in size, and gravel is greater than 2 mm. <P> Most sedimentary rocks are derived by processes of weathering, transportation, deposition, and diagenesis. The final texture (grain size, shape, sorting, mineralolgy, etc.) in a sediment or sedimentary rocks is dependent on process that occur during each stage. | Clay/silt, sand and gravel. |
in what forms are carbon dioxide transported in blood | <P> 1 Carbon Dioxide is transported within blood in multiple forms which include transport as a simple dissolved gas, bound by protein, and a chemically-modified form (See: Gases in Liquids). Transport of Carbon Dioxide in Venous Blood. Carbon dioxide diffuses from peripheral cells into venous blood and is transported to the lungs in three distinct chemical forms. Roughly 10% is transported as a simple dissolved gas. The remainder enters local erythrocytes and encounters one of two fates. <P> 1 List the three forms of carbon dioxide carried by the blood and how they interact to form the total CO2 dissociation curve. 2 Diagram using pertinent chemical reactions how CO2 is processed by red blood cells traversing tissue and lung capillaries. Learning Objectives: You should be able to: 1 <P> There are three ways in which carbon dioxide is transported in the blood stream: Approximately 5% of carbon dioxide in the blood is transported as dissolved carbon dioxide in … the blood plasma.Approximately 10% of carbon dioxide in the blood is transported bound to haemoglobin and plasma proteins. Share to: Blood transports CO2 from tissue cells to the lungs in 3 forms: 1) Dissolved in blood plasma (7 -- 10%) 2) Chemically bound to Hb (around 20%), it forms a compound named carba … minohemoglobin. This reaction occurs rapidly and does not require an enzyme. CO2 binds directly to the amino acids of the Hb protein molecule <P> Dissolved Gas. 1 Roughly 5-10% of carbon dioxide is transported from tissues to the lungs in a simple dissolved form. 2 In this process, metabolically-generated carbon dioxide gas simply diffuses into local capillaries, travels to the lungs via venous blood, and is exhaled. Transport of Carbon Dioxide in Venous Blood. Carbon dioxide diffuses from peripheral cells into venous blood and is transported to the lungs in three distinct chemical forms. Roughly 10% is transported as a simple dissolved gas. The remainder enters local erythrocytes and encounters one of two fates. <P> Carbon dioxide binds with haemoglobin to produce carbaminohaemoglobin. The majority of carbon dioxide in the blood is transported as bicarbonate ions. Carbon dioxide binds with water to form carbonic acid, it then dissociates to form bicarbonate ions.

This reaction occurs rapidly and does not require an enzyme. CO2 binds directly to the amino acids of the Hb protein molecule <P> Some of the carbon dioxide is transported dissolved in the plasma. Some carbon dioxide is transported as carbaminohemoglobin. However, most carbon dioxide is transported as bicarbonate. As blood flows through the tissues, carbon dioxide diffuses into red blood cells, where it is converted into bicarbonate. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the tissues and into the blood, where it is dissolved in the plasma. While some of the carbon dioxide remains dissolved in the plasma, most carbon dioxide diffuses into our red blood cells. <P> 1 Roughly 5-10% of carbon dioxide is transported from tissues to the lungs in a simple dissolved form. 2 In this process, metabolically-generated carbon dioxide gas simply diffuses into local capillaries, travels to the lungs via venous blood, and is exhaled.

Roughly 10% is transported as a simple dissolved gas. The remainder enters local erythrocytes and encounters one of two fates. <P> The effect of carbon dioxide in the blood. Haemoglobin can also bind carbon dioxide, but to a lesser extent. Carbaminohaemoglobin forms. Some carbon dioxide is carried in this form to the lungs from respiring tissues. The presence of carbon dioxide helps the release of oxygen from haemoglobin, this is known as the Bohr effect. <P> Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood from the tissue to the lungs in three ways: (i) dissolved in solution; (ii) buffered with water as carbonic acid; (iii) bound to proteins, particularly haemoglobin. Approximately 75% of carbon dioxide is transport in the red blood cell and 25% in the plasma. Carbon dioxide transport in the tissue is summarized in Figure 1. It combines with water to form carbonic acid. This reaction is very slow in plasma but fast within the red blood cell owing to the presence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. | (i) dissolved in solution;
(ii) buffered with water as carbonic acid;
(iii) bound to proteins, particularly haemoglobin. |
how long would you last in the nfl | <P> When I was in the NFL, we would only have three days in the entire month of August completely off. This endless grind is a huge part of what makes training camp such a challenge. Few things in life will ever test one’s attrition like an August in the NFL. NFL training camps have changed over the years, becoming a player-friendly experience...at least that’s what the rules in the latest collective bargaining agreement would lead you to believe. Still, there is plenty of overlap between now and back when I played six years earlier <P> The average football game is actually longer than the average baseball game. According to The Boston Globe, baseball games average 2 hours, 57 minutes and 33 seconds. This isn't to suggest baseball is inherently more exciting. But one of the contemporary knocks against baseball is its games take too long. The game starts with the first of 10.5 kickoffs. My apologies in advance if you like returns, because 5.7 of those kickoffs will be touchbacks. Of the plays you will see this afternoon, there will be 80.5 passes and 53.1 runs, so I hope you enjoy passing. <P> The NFL's pension plan pales in comparison to those of other sports leagues. The $51,000 a 10-year NFL veteran would receive in retirement is less than a third of a 10-year Major League Baseball player's pension.The retirement package improves with each re-negotiation of the collective bargaining agreement. <P> Comments. NFL training camps have changed over the years, becoming a player-friendly experience...at least that’s what the rules in the latest collective bargaining agreement would lead you to believe. Still, there is plenty of overlap between now and back when I played six years earlier <P> How long does an NFL player stay on the waiver wire? A player normally stays on the wavier wire for 10 days. If the player was released from another team he will be released into waivers and the rest of the 31 teams will be able … to bid on him. Making the world better, one answer at a time. Well a person usually stay in college three to four years if they plan to enter the nfl draft. But those that are really good stay just for three. So the answer to your question would be three. <P> The average National Football League player doesn't enjoy a very long career. The number most typically quoted is three years. If you're an NFL fan, this statistic probably leaves you a little confused as you watch your favorite player take the field season after season. Factoring in players' abilities results in an adjusted average NFL career of 6.86 years. This approximate seven-year figure is the result of counting only those players who are actually on team rosters for the opening game of the season in which they're drafted or signed. <P> It goes up every year that players stay in the NFL. So some veterans will make as much as $800,000. It's a lot of money, but when I talk to guys, I often say, you're only as wealthy as your lifestyle, says Patrick Kerney, a former player who is now the NFL's Vice President of Player Benefits and Legends Operations. <P> Approximately: 3 hours and 30 minutes. including commercials, half-time (review scores and highlights in the NFL), stopping the clock, timeouts, official review and injury timeout If it goes to overtime: Approximately an hour more. There are four quarters in the NFL. Each quarter is 15 minutes long. There are 4 15 minute quarters divided in 2 halves. Each team has 3 timeouts for each half which can be used to stop game clock. Moreover, game officials can also stop game clock for checking plays and injuries. All of this can average around 3 hours. | The average National Football League player doesn't enjoy a very long career. The number most typically quoted is three years. |
what is a macromolecules | <P> The term macromolecule means 'very big' molecule. As you know, a molecule is a substance that is made up of more than one atom. The prefix macro-means 'large', and it is an antonym of the prefix micro-which means 'very small'. <P> A macromolecule is a very large molecule commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits (monomers). They are typically composed of thousands or more atoms. <P> Definition: A macromolecule is a molecule with a very large number of atoms. Macromolecules typically have more than 100 component atoms. Examples: Most polymers are macromolecules and many biochemical molecules are macromolecules. <P> A macromolecule is a very large molecule made up of smaller units called monomers. The monomers may be the same or slightly different. Macromolecules are formed by dehydration reactions in which water molecules are removed from the formation of bonds. <P> A macromolecule is a molecule made up of two or more smaller molecules. A very large molecule such as a polymer or protein, consisting of many smaller structural units linked together. <P> Macromolecule. Definition. noun, plural: macromolecules. A large complex molecule, such as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, with relatively large molecular weight. Supplement. In biology, a macromolecule is a term used to contrast a micromolecule (which is smaller in size and in molecular weight). Macromolecules are usually used to refer to large biological polymers, such as nucleic acids and proteins, which are made up of small monomers linked together. | A macromolecule is a very large molecule commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits (monomers). |

what is the structure of ligaments | <P> A ligament is a complicated elastic structure which needs to be both elastic and strong. It relies on its collagen content for strength. Whilst elastin gives ligaments their flexibility, it is collagen which gives them strength.Collagen is what you see in a scar. Collagen fibres work like the steel rods in cement. <P> Normal ligament structure and physiology Skeletal ligaments are defined as dense bands of collage-nous tissue (fibres) that span a joint and then becomeanchored to the bone at either end. They vary in size, shape,orientation and location. <P> The fascicle contains the basic fibril of the ligament or tendon, and the fibroblasts, which are the biological cells that produce the ligament or tendon. There is a structural characteristic at this level that plays a significant role in the mechanics of ligaments and tendons: the crimp of the fibril. <P> The Structure of Ligaments. A ligament is a complicated elastic structure which needs to be both elastic and strong. It relies on its collagen content for strength. Whilst elastin gives ligaments their flexibility, it is collagen which gives them strength.Collagen is what you see in a scar. Collagen fibres work like the steel rods in cement. <P> Injury to a ligament results ina drastic change in its structure and physiology and creates a situation where ligament function is restored by the formation ofscar tissue that is biologically and biomechanically inferior to the tissue it replaces. <P> Ligaments and tendons are soft collagenous tissues. Ligaments connect bone to bone and tendons connect muscles to bone. Ligaments and tendons play a significant role in musculoskeletal biomechanics. They represent an important area of orthopaedic treatment for which many challenges for repair remain. <P> Many strong ligaments surround the joint capsule of the knee to reinforce its structure and hold its bones in the proper alignment. On the anterior surface of the knee, the patella is held in place by the patellar ligament, which extends from the inferior border of the patella to the tibial tuberosity of the tibia. | A ligament is a complicated elastic structure which needs to be both elastic and strong.

what are meteors | <P> A meteor is what you see when a space rock falls to Earth. It is often known as a shooting star or falling star and can be a bright light in the night sky, though most are faint. If it hits the ground, it is then called a meteorite, and a large one sometimes leaves a hole in the ground called a crater. <P> Meteors are usually dust or sand grain sized pieces of rock which speed through space up to tens or hundreds of kilometers a second and when they enter the Earths atmosphere they burn up, creating bright or brilliant streaks across the sky. <P> A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from a source such as an asteroid or a comet, which originates in outer space and survives its impact with the Earth's surface. It is called a meteoroid before its impact. A meteorite's size can range from small to extremely large. Meteorites have been found on the moon and Mars. Meteorites that are recovered after being observed as they transit the atmosphere or impact the Earth are called meteorite fall. <P> Meteors are streaks of light, usually lasting just a few seconds, which people occasionally see in the night sky. They are sometimes called shooting stars or falling stars, though they are not stars at all. <P> Most meteoroids that cause meteors are about the size of a grain of sand. Meteors may occur in showers, which arise when the Earth passes through a stream of debris left by a comet, or as random or sporadic meteors, not associated with a specific stream of space debris. If that object withstands ablation from its passage through the atmosphere as a meteor and impacts with the ground, it is then called a meteorite. Around 15,000 tonnes of meteoroids, micrometeoroids and different forms of space dust enter Earth's atmosphere each year. <P> A meteor is an asteroid or other object that burns and vaporizes upon entry into the Earth's atmosphere; meteors are commonly known as shooting stars.. If a meteor survives the plunge through the atmosphere and lands on the surface, it's known as a meteorite. Meteorites are usually categorized as iron or stony. As the name implies, iron meteorites are composed of about 90 percent iron; stony meteorites are made up of oxygen, iron, silicon, magnesium and other elements. <P> When a meteoroid, comet or asteroid enters the Earth's atmosphere at a speed typically in excess of 20 km/s (72,000 km/h; 45,000 mph), aerodynamic heating of that object produces a streak of light, both from the glowing object and the trail of glowing particles that it leaves in its wake. If that object withstands ablation from its passage through the atmosphere as a meteor and impacts with the ground, it is then called a meteorite. Around 15,000 tonnes of meteoroids, micrometeoroids and different forms of space dust enter Earth's atmosphere each year. <P> Meteoroids (meteors traveling in space) can orbit the Sun at a velocity of up to 42 kilometers per second (26 miles per second). When these meteoroids encounter the Earth, they may enter the atmosphere a speeds up to 72 kilometers per second (45 miles per second). <P> A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body travelling through space. Meteoroids are significantly smaller than asteroids, and range in size from small grains to 1 meter-wide objects. If that object withstands ablation from its passage through the atmosphere as a meteor and impacts with the ground, it is then called a meteorite. Around 15,000 tonnes of meteoroids, micrometeoroids and different forms of space dust enter Earth's atmosphere each year. <P> A meteoroid is a solid body in interplanetary space before it reaches the Earth's atmosphere. A meteor denotes the fiery streak or shooting star which appears when a tiny meteoroid strikes the Earth's atmosphere and burns up. Most meteors result from meteoroids no more than a few centimeters in diameter. A larger meteoroid which survives the fiery passage through the Earth's atmosphere as a meteor and strikes the Earth's surface is called a meteorite. Meteoric material less than a tenth of a millimeter in diameter is called cosmic dust. Meteoroids the size of a fist or larger may survive the trip through the atmosphere to land on the Earth's surface. They are then known as meteorites. A meteorite located after a witnessed descent is called a fall. A meteorite from an unwitnessed descent is called a find. | It is what you see when a space rock falls to Earth.

how do ralph and piggy feel about the pig-hunt dance | <P> Ralph is furious with Jack, because it was the hunters’ responsibility to see that the fire was maintained. Jack and the hunters return from the jungle, covered with blood and chanting a bizarre song. They carry a dead pig on a stake between them. Jack, obsessed with the idea of killing a pig, camouflages his face with clay and charcoal and enters the jungle to hunt, accompanied by several other boys. On the beach, Ralph and Piggy see a ship on the horizon—but they also see that the signal fire has gone out. <P> Do you think Jack and Roger are equally responsible for Piggy’s death? 45. How do Jack’s savages treat Sam and Eric? What is the significance of the fact that Roger “edged past the chief, only just avoiding pushing him with his shoulder”? 46. <P> How does he react this time? Why this change, do you suppose? 4. Why do Ralph and Piggy go to the pig roast? How is their reason prophetic? 5. Chapter 5 1. At first, Ralph was surprised by how clearly he was able to speak and think. <P> Even Ralph and Piggy, swept away by the excitement, dance on the fringes of the group. The boys again reenact the hunting of the pig and reach a high pitch of frenzied energy as they chant and dance. Suddenly, the boys see a shadowy figure creep out of the forest—it is Simon. Even Ralph and Piggy themselves get swept up in the ritual dance around Jack’s banquet fire. The storm that batters the island after Simon’s death pounds home the catastrophe of the murder and physically embodies the chaos and anarchy that have overtaken the island. <P> 1 No one hands Piggy any meat, and when Jack gives him a hard time about his not helping with the hunt, Simon gives his own food to Piggy. 2 Jack is furious, and yells at Simon to Eat! 3 Damn you!. 4 He basically realizes he has no power over the boys unless they eat the meat he got for them all. 1 The boys have developed a sort of rhythm in their lives that involves the littluns playing together, the biguns (Jack and the choir boys) still hunting pigs, and the other boys (Ralph, Simon, and Piggy) trying to build shelters and keep the signal fire going. 2 BTW, there are sharks in the water beyond the reef. <P> Most of them accept, despite Ralph’s attempts to dissuade them. As it starts to rain, Ralph asks Jack how he plans to weather the storm considering he has not built any shelters. In response, Jack orders his tribe to do its wild hunting dance. Even Ralph and Piggy themselves get swept up in the ritual dance around Jack’s banquet fire. The storm that batters the island after Simon’s death pounds home the catastrophe of the murder and physically embodies the chaos and anarchy that have overtaken the island. <P> Are you surprised that he wants to go? Do you think it is a good idea? 3. What is ironic about Piggy[s question, What more can Jack do than he has?_ 4. Piggy grabs the conch and talks to Ralph and the other boys about the alternatives they have. Chapter 5 1. At first, Ralph was surprised by how clearly he was able to speak and think. <P> (ch 5). Piggy and Ralph, under the threat of the sky, found themselves eager to take a place in this demented but partly secure society. (ch 9). Ralph joins the dance because he gives in to the primal instincts to belong and to kill. The dance evolves slowly over the course of the book. In chapter 4, when the boys first begin their war dance, Ralph’s reaction is telling. He is both jealous and appalled. Ralph watched them, envious and resentful. Ralph feels that as their leader he must do this, but he does not know how. He lost himself in a maze of thoughts that were rendered vague by his lack of words to express them. (ch 5). Ralph struggles to be wise. He is looking for a way to bring order to the group, because none of their attempts have worked. | Ralph feels that as their leader he must do this, but he does not know how.

how long does it take to thaw salmon | <P> Basically, I no longer let it thaw out overnight in the fridge. Instead I will quick thaw it by placing the salmon in a pan and running cold water over it, which allows it to thaw in 10 minutes or so. Then I will dry it off with a paper towel, and proceed to place it in a glass oven pan, after I pour a fair amount of Organic Coconut Oil on the bottom of the pan. I also learned that if you cook it in a frying pan on the top of a stove with liberal coconut oil after thawing, as opposed to baking, and have the heat under the frying pan very low, for my stove the it is all the way down low, to the point where it is almost turned off. <P> Tips & Warnings. 1 You can refreeze salmon after defrosting it in the refrigerator if you do so within three days of thawing. 2 Do not thaw salmon at room temperature as this can cause food-borne illness. For the best results, plan ahead and thaw it in the refrigerator the day before you plan to cook it. The microwave leaves partially cooked patches that can become tough and dry, so it's not a recommended method, but you can thaw frozen salmon in cold water on short notice without any appreciable loss of quality. <P> 1. Remove your salmon from the freezer approximately 12 hours before you plan to cook it. For quantities over 1 lb. (454 g), remove the salmon 24 hours before you plan to cook it. 4. Put the bowl on a flat surface in the refrigerator, away from foods that will soak up the smell of the salmon. The refrigerator should be kept between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit (1.7 to 4.4 degrees Celsius), in order to inhibit the growth of micro organisms. <P> 6. Remove the fish after it is fully thawed and cook immediately. 1 If you are thawing salmon that was frozen in a block of ice, run cold water over the fish until all the ice chunks are removed. 2 Then cover the fish in plastic wrap, place it in a pan and leave it in the refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours. 4. Put the bowl on a flat surface in the refrigerator, away from foods that will soak up the smell of the salmon. The refrigerator should be kept between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit (1.7 to 4.4 degrees Celsius), in order to inhibit the growth of micro organisms. <P> ANSWER: It depends on the total weight of the fish and the thickness. Either way, take the fish and put inside a zip-lock bag and immerse in warm, not hot water and it will thaw faster. About 10-30 minutes depending on quantity. If in the refrigerator, as long as 2-3 hours. in the refrigerator it will take at least 24 hrs all the way to 2 days... you can also thaw in cold water but water must be changed every 30 mins.... DONT NOT USE HOT WA … TER WILL CREATE BACTERIA GROWTH!!! <P> 1 If you are thawing salmon that was frozen in a block of ice, run cold water over the fish until all the ice chunks are removed. 2 Then cover the fish in plastic wrap, place it in a pan and leave it in the refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours. 4.

how long does reactive hypoglycemia last | <P> Another Cause of Reactive Hypoglycemia. In my experience, reactive hypoglycemia can also happen when you first begin a low carb diet. One of the benefits of eating a low carb diet is to lower your average blood sugar and insulin levels, and to retrain your body to burn stored fat as fuel. But reactive hypoglycemia can also happen if your body burns glucose too rapidly, or if your digestive process is too slow in releasing the sugar from a meal into the bloodstream. A diet which is chronically high in carbohydrates can also trigger h <P> Reactive Hypoglycemia. Reactive hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is a condition in which your blood sugar falls into a range that is too low to support your body’s needs. This type of hypoglycemia generally occurs about 2-4 hours after eating a high carbohydrate meal or food. But reactive hypoglycemia can also happen if your body burns glucose too rapidly, or if your digestive process is too slow in releasing the sugar from a meal into the bloodstream. A diet which is chronically high in carbohydrates can also trigger h <P> Hypoglycemia is the condition when your blood glucose (sugar) levels are too low. It happens to people with diabetes when they have a mismatch of medicine, food, and/or exercise. Non-diabetic hypoglycemia, a rare condition, is low blood glucose in people who do not have diabetes. <P> Hypoglycemia: Glucose, a form of sugar, is the body's main fuel. Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, occurs when blood... (Source: excerpt from Hypoglycemia: NIDDK). Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is not diabetes but may occur as a complication of diabetes, as a condition in... Reactive hypoglycemia with no known cause is a condition in which the symptoms of low blood sugar appear 2 to 5 hours after... <P> The body can’t store very much sugar or glucose at one time. Sugar is stored in small amounts in your muscles and liver as glycogen. In the average human body, there’s only about 1600 calories of glycogen stored at any one time. In comparison, it takes about 2500 to 3500 calories to fuel a human body for one day. But reactive hypoglycemia can also happen if your body burns glucose too rapidly, or if your digestive process is too slow in releasing the sugar from a meal into the bloodstream. A diet which is chronically high in carbohydrates can also trigger hypoglycemia. <P> Symptoms. The symptoms of hypoglycemia may vary from episode to episode because low blood sugar can be mild, moderate, or severe. Increasingly severe symptoms appear as the blood sugar level falls. In healthy people, fasting blood sugar levels are usually between 70 and 99 mg/dL. Your body uses hormones to keep your blood sugar in a normal range. But a long-term health problem that needs treatment can cause blood sugar to drop too low. People with diabetes often deal with low blood sugar. <P> Reactive hypoglycemia, or postprandial hypoglycemia, is a medical term describing recurrent episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia occurring within 4 hours after a high carbohydrate meal in people who do not have diabetes. The more specific 6-hour glucose tolerance test can be used to chart changes in the patient's blood sugar levels before ingestion of a special glucose drink and at regular intervals during the six hours following to see if an unusual rise or drop in blood glucose levels occurs. <P> Hypoglycemia, also known as low blood sugar or low blood glucose, is when blood sugar decreases to below normal. This may result in a variety of symptoms including clumsiness, trouble talking, confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, or death. The glucose level that defines hypoglycemia is variable. In people with diabetes levels below 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) is diagnostic. In adults without diabetes, symptoms related to low blood sugar, low blood sugar at the time of symptoms, and improvement when blood sugar is restored to normal confirm the diagnosis. <P> The primary test for hypoglycemia is a prolonged (48- to 72-hour) supervised fast. You will be asked to fast until the symptoms of moderate low blood sugar develop, or until blood glucose levels drop below 45 mg/dL. If at the end of 72 hours you do not have low blood sugar, you may be asked to exercise for 30 minutes. Your body uses hormones to keep your blood sugar in a normal range. But a long-term health problem that needs treatment can cause blood sugar to drop too low. People with diabetes often deal with low blood sugar. | Hypoglycemia occurring within 4 hours after a high carbohydrate meal in people who do not have diabetes. |
what are sopas | <P> 1 Fry dough in the hot oil until sopes are just lightly browned, about 30 seconds per side. 2 Remove sopes with tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate; cool just until sopes can be handled. 3 Pinch the edges of each sope together forming little 'boats'. <P> This is then topped with refried black beans and crumbled cheese, lettuce, onions, red or green sauce (salsa, made with chiles or tomatillos respectively), and acidified cream. Sometimes other ingredients (mostly meat) are also added to create different tastes and styles of sopes. <P> Sopas is delicious and it’s fairly easy to make. A few parts of chicken, some hotdogs, and macaroni can put a smile on the faces of most Filipino children or adults. <P> Chicken Sopas Recipe. Chicken Sopas is a soup dish filled with diced or shredded boneless chicken meat and elbow macaroni noodles. This chicken soup is a common breakfast or snack food among Filipino families particularly during the rainy season. <P> Directions. 1 Pour masa and salt into a bowl, add in enough water to moisten masa. 2 Form masa into balls the size of a large egg. 3 Place a piece of plastic wrap on the tortilla press or your kitchen counter. 4 Heat a griddle or comal on medium high, cook each sope for 1 minute. 5 Once all sopes are cooked and formed cover them with a dry towel. 6 Serve 7 ... N <P> Ingredients. 1 1 cup masa harina. 2 3/4 cup warm water. 3 1/4 cup vegetable oil. 4 1 teaspoon finely chopped serrano chile or 2 teaspoons finely chopped jalapeno (seeds too for extra heat). 5 1 teaspoon very finely chopped garlic (about 2 medium cloves). <P> These sopes are fried masa cakes and are delicious topped with savory meats and veggies. Sopes make a great appetizer because of their small size. Make them extra small and add minimal toppings for a perfect finger food.

what is hypersensitive narcissism | <P> Narcissism is a serious diagnosed disorder, the symptoms and signs of which do not include hypersensitivity. In fact, a true narcissist is very much the opposite; cold, unfeeling toward others and extremely self assured. The narcissist I was, and still am involved with to a lesser degree, is super hypersensitive and super cold. I'm not sure if the hypersensitivity is a charade or what. <P> Abstract: A new measure of hypersensitive narcissism was derived by correlating the items of H. A. Murray's (1938) Narcissism Scale with an MMPI-based composite measure of covert narcissism. In three samples of college students (total N = 303), 10 items formed a reliable measure: the Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HSNS). <P> The Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HSNS) is a measure of hypersensitive narcissism derived by correlating the items of H. A. Murray's (1938) Narcism Scale with an MMPI-based composite measure of covert narcissism. Background: The clinical diagnostic criteria for the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (DSM-III) (American Psychiatric Association, 1980) stimulated the interest of personality psychologists in the normal range of individual differences innarcissistic tendencies (Emmons, 1987; Raskin & Terry, 1988; Wink &Gough, 1990). <P> It seems if you have to be a narcissist, it's better to be an overt narcissist than a covert narcissist! Maladaptive Covert Narcissism Scale (MCNS)*. Please answer the following questions by deciding to what extent each item is characteristic of your feelings and behavior. By this point, you're probably wondering if you're secretly a hypersensitive covert narcissist masquerading as a sensitive introvert. Without further ado, here are 23 items that will allow you to gain greater insight into your personality. <P> A new measure of hypersensitive narcissism was derived by correlating the items of H. A. Murray's (1938) Narcism Scale with an MMPI-based composite measure of covert narcissism. In three samples of college students (total N = 303), 10 items formed a reliable measure: the Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HSNS). These 10 items formed a reliable scale which we named the Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HSNS; alpha = .72 for Sample 1 of 109 college women, M = 28.7, SD = 6.2; alpha = .75 for Sample 2 of 151 college women, M = 29.7, SD = 6.1; alpha = .62 for Sample 3 of 143 college men, M = 29.3 SD = 4.7). <P> These 10 items formed a reliable scale which we named the Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HSNS; alpha = .72 for Sample 1 of 109 college women, M = 28.7, SD = 6.2; alpha = .75 for Sample 2 of 151 college women, M = 29.7, SD = 6.1; alpha = .62 for Sample 3 of 143 college men, M = 29.3 SD = 4.7).

Hypersensitive individuals are charac-terized by grandiosity and entitlement, but these attributes aremasked by inhibition, defensiveness, and a lack of self-confidence(Wink, 1992b). <P> Download. A new measure of hypersensitive narcissism was derived by correlating the items of H. A. Murray's (1938) Narcism Scale with an MMPI-based composite measure of covert narcissism. In three samples of college students (totalN= 403), 10 items formed a reliable measure: the Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HSNS). Results support P. Wink's (1991) distinction between covert and overt narcissistic tendencies in the normal range of individual differences and suggest that it would be beneficial for personality researchers to measure both types of narcissism in future studies. <P> In other words, while introversion, sensitivity, and narcissism are all partially separate traits, hypersensitive covert narcissists are more likely to report that they are introverted and sensitive. So here's the test. Be honest with yourself! By this point, you're probably wondering if you're secretly a hypersensitive covert narcissist masquerading as a sensitive introvert.

at what temperature does frost form | <P> Frost. Frost is a form of ice and can only survive at temperatures of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and below. But that doesn’t mean the measured air temperature must be 32 or below for frost to form on a surface. Frost formation on grass is possible in any location in which the blades’ temperature falls to 32 or below, including warm weather states such as Florida, California and Arizona. For example, overnight frost may form on an Arizona course on days when the high temperature reaches 70. <P> Frost forms in much the same way as dew forms. Frost usually forms when a surface cools through loss of infrared radiation to a temperature which is colder than the dewpoint of the air next to the surface, AND the temperature of that surface is below freezing (32 deg F, or 0 deg. C). The source of this moisture is water vapor contained in the air. The heaviest coatings of frost usually do not occur at the coldest temperatures because very cold air can not hold very much water vapor. Instead, thick deposits of frost usually occur when the air temperature is close to 32 deg. F (0 deg. <P> Now frost is a covering of ice crystals on the surface produced by the depositing of water vapor to a surface cooler than 0° C (32° F). The deposition occurs when the temperature of the surface falls below the frost point. Similarly, dew forms when the air or surface temperature falls below the dew point temperature. Thus, if the temperature on the ground or an object such as a bush or a car windshield near the ground falls below the frost point, frost crystals may form. But the measured surface temperature may still be above freezing. <P> Frost forms when the temperature of a solid surface in the open cools to below the freezing point of water and for the most clearly crystalline forms of frost in particular, below the frost point in still air. Frost is the coating or deposit of ice that may form in humid air in cold conditions, usually overnight. In temperate climates it most commonly appears as fragile white crystals or frozen dew drops near the ground, but in cold climates it occurs in a greater variety of forms. <P> Frost may occur overnight, but it often forms at sunrise, before the temperature begins to rise. Frost formation on grass is possible in any location in which the blades’ temperature falls to 32 or below, including warm weather states such as Florida, California and Arizona. For example, overnight frost may form on an Arizona course on days when the high temperature reaches 70. <P> Dew Point Temperature and Frost Point Temperature. The temperature at which the change of state occurs as the air is cooled is called the dew point temperature when the change of state occurs at a temperature above freezing or the frost point temperature when the change of state occurs at a temperature below freezing. Whether dew or frost will form is determined by two factors: 1 If the amount of moisture in the air causes the condensation temperature to be above or below freezing and. 2 If the temperature will cool to the condensation t <P> Frost or freezing occurs when the temperature of air falls below the freezing point of water (0 °C, 32 °F, 273.15 K). This is usually measured at the height of 1.2 m above the ground surface. There is a rather subjective scale to show several degrees of frost severity: 1 slight frost: 0 to −3.5 °C (32.0 to 25.7 °F). <P> Best Answer: If a solid surface is chilled below the dew point of the surrounding air and the surface itself is colder than freezing, frost will form on the surface. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost So you need a cold surface (below freezing) and air that has moisture in it. At normal atmospheric pressure, frost will form at 0°C which is the freezing point of water. The formation of Dew is not frost, it's water droplets. Frost is ice. <P> An air frost occurs when the air temperature falls to or below the freezing point of water. An air frost is usually defined as the air temperature being below freezing point of water at a height of at least one metre above the ground. The 'feathery' variety of hoar frost forms when the surface temperature reaches freezing point before dew begins to form on it. A 'white' frost, composed of more globular ice, occurs when the dew forms first, then subsequently freezes. | Below the freezing point of water (0 °C, 32 °F, 273.15 K). |
what is base sv means in altima | <P> Jim Y. , Marietta, Ga. At Nissan, SV apparently is internal code for one or two steps above the base model.. The SV models in Nissan's lineup are a step up from the S version in price and standard equipment, and the S models are typically the lowest or second-lowest priced versions. <P> You can see how this plays out with the redesigned 2013 Nissan Altima, which comes in base 2.5 (denoting the engine size in liters), S, SV and SL trim (or price) levels. <P> Other Nissan models follow a similar pattern, though there are differences. For example, the Pathfinder and Murano come in S, SV and SL trim levels; the Pathfinder adds a top-shelf Platinum model; and the Murano has an LE version as its most-expensive offering. <P> The 2015 Nissan Altima sedan seats five and comes in seven trims, ranging from the base 2.5 to the top-of-the-line 3.5 SL. The Altima comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. A 3.5-liter V6 engine is available. <P> Models and Features. For 2014, the Altima is available in two model series. The Altima 2.5 models have a 4-cylinder engine while the Altima 3.5 models have a V-6 engine. Only the Altima 2.5 is offered in a base level of trim. Otherwise, both series share S, SV, and, SL trim level designations. <P> Models and Features. Altimas with a 4-cylinder engine have a 2.5 series designation, while those with a V-6 engine have a 3.5 series designation. Within each series, S, SV, and SL trim levels are available.

what is anise | <P> Anise is a herbaceous annual plant growing to 3 ft (0.9 m) or more tall. The leaves at the base of the plant are simple, 3⁄8 –2 in (1–5 cm) long and shallowly lobed, while leaves higher on the stems are feathery pinnate, divided into numerous small leaflets. The most powerful flavor component of the essential oil of anise, anethole, is found in both anise and an unrelated spice indigenous to northern China called star anise (Illicium verum) widely used in South Asian, Southeast Asian, and East Asian dishes. <P> In foods, anise is used as a flavoring agent. It has a sweet, aromatic taste that resembles the taste of black licorice. It is commonly used in alcohols and liqueurs, such as anisette and ouzo. Anise is also used in dairy products, gelatins, meats, candies, and breath fresheners. In manufacturing, anise is often used as a fragrance in soap, creams, perfumes, and sachets <P> Star anise is another possible substitution. A lot of people confuse aniseed with star anise, but they are in fact quite different plants. The star anise is an evergreen shrub that grows in mainland Asia, particularly China and India. It gets its name from the star-shaped pod in which its seeds grow. In addition to its use in cooking, aniseed also has a long history as a medicinal herb. The ancient Romans thought the plant promoted better sleep, and the seed is still used in herbal teas for this purpose. <P> Culinary Uses of Anise. Not to be confused with star anise, which is generally used in Chinese dishes, anise is primarily associated with cakes, biscuits and confectionery, as well as rye breads. It is used in much the same way as fennel to flavour fish, poultry, soups and root vegetable dishes. <P> Star anise is used in the East as aniseed is in the West. Apart from its use in sweetmeats and confectionery, where sweeteners must be added, it contributes to meat and poultry dishes, combining especially well with pork and duck. Native to China and Vietnam, star anise is today grown almost exclusively in southern China, Indo-China, and Japan. Star anise, Illicium verum, is sometimes called Chinese star anise. It’s important to distinguish it from Japanese star anise, Illicium anisatum, which is highly toxic. <P> Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Anise is LIKELY SAFE for pregnant and breast-feeding women when used as part of a normal diet. It’s not known whether it’s safe to use anise in larger medicinal amounts during pregnancy or when breast-feeding. Stick to food amounts. It has a sweet, aromatic taste that resembles the taste of black licorice. It is commonly used in alcohols and liqueurs, such as anisette and ouzo. Anise is also used in dairy products, gelatins, meats, candies, and breath fresheners. <P> Anise is an herb. The seed (fruit) and oil, and less frequently the root and leaf, are used to make medicine. Anise is used for upset stomach, intestinal gas, “ runny nose ,” and as an expectorant to increase productive cough, as a diuretic to increase urine flow, and as an appetite stimulant. It has a sweet, aromatic taste that resembles the taste of black licorice. It is commonly used in alcohols and liqueurs, such as anisette and ouzo. Anise is also used in dairy products, gelatins, meats, candies, and breath fresheners. <P> 1 Anise essential oil is derived from the perennial herbal plant anise or aniseed (Pimpinella anisum). 2 One of its primary uses was to promote digestive health. 3 In ancient Rome, anise was often added to a cake that was eaten after meals, while the Egyptians used the herb as an ingredient in breads. Anise essential oil is derived from the perennial herbal plant anise or aniseed (Pimpinella anisum) . Although anise originated from Asia, it is prevalent in Mediterranean nations. Today, it is produced in Spain, France, and Russia, but also grows in the wild in other countries. <P> Anise seeds are also the basis for a number of alcoholic beverages, including absinthe, anisette, ouzo and sambuca. Despite its similar name, anise is not related to star anise, which is another spice from a different family of plants. In the culinary arts, anise (pronounced AH-niss) refers usually to the seeds of a plant with aromatic leaves and stems that taste like liquorice, fennel or tarragon. While the leaves of the anise plant can be used as an herb, it's mainly the seeds that are used in cooking. Sometimes called aniseed, the seeds are used as a spice, either ground or whole. Aniseed is used in a various baked goods and desserts, for example Italian biscotti. Anise seeds are also frequently used in making sausage | Anise is an herb. The seed (fruit) and oil, and less frequently the root and leaf, are used to make medicine. |
what is creeping phlox | <P> Taxonomy of Creeping Phlox: Plant taxonomy classifies creeping phlox plants as Phlox subulata. Besides creeping phlox, another common name for P. subulata is moss pink, a name which suggests both its growth habit and the bloom color for which it is most widely known. Some prefer moss phlox as a common name. Both of these alternate monikers help distinguish this plant from P. stolonifera. <P> Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata) is a favorite for gardeners all across the country – they are ground-covering plants that bloom in a solid carpet in spring. Creeping Phlox also spreads rapidly, covering banks, spaces under tall trees, and other places where you want color. In one color, or as a rainbow, creeping phlox creates one of the most dependably perennial groundcovers you can plant. <P> Creeping phlox flowers in late spring. Both alyssum and creeping phlox are low-growing, flowering plants. The common name, “alyssum,” however, can refer to more than one kind of plant. Sweet alyssum, usually grown as an annual, has the botanical name Lobularia maritimum. It belongs to the Brassicaceae plant family. Hardiness. Creeping phlox is a perennial evergreen plant that thrives in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 8. It grows 6 to 12 inches tall and spreads to 3 feet wide. Sweet alyssum, which reaches 6 to 8 inches tall, is grown as an annual in most parts of the United States. <P> Phlox (/ˈflɒks/ ; Greek φλόξ flame; plural phlox or phloxes, Greek φλόγες phloges) phlóges is a genus of 67 species of perennial and annual plants in the Family. polemoniaceae Several species and cultivars of phlox are commonly grown in gardens. Most cultivated phlox, with the notable exception of Phlox drummondii, are perennial. Species from Alpine habitats (and cultivars derived from them) require full sun and good drainage. <P> An evergreen plant, creeping phlox remains attractive throughout the winter. A perennial ground cover, creeping phlox (Phlox subulata) spreads to display a thick blanket of blooms in vibrant shades of pink, lavender, red, white or bluish-purple every spring. 7. Water the creeping phlox immediately after planting, moistening the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches. Keep the soil lightly moist for about a month, or until the plant is established and new growth appears. <P> Overview. Creeping phlox (Phlox subulata) is a charming, demure woodland plant, happy to blend into the background in a dense, green carpet until the colorful pink, purple and lavender blooms burst out in spring. Creeping phlox is especially effective along the edge of a flower bed, or on a rocky hillside. <P> Creeping phlox (Phlox subulata) produces a colorful spring carpet of soft pastel hues. Little expert knowledge is needed on how to plant and care for creeping phlox. Growing creeping phlox over a rockery or in tough soil conditions provides a nearly carefree ground cover or cascading plant. Consider growing it in between pavers, in a planter or just as a part of a bright spring bed as well. Creeping Phlox Propagation. The plant can also be divided to provide more growing creeping phlox plants. Simply dig the plant up, preserving the root ball. Cut through the center of the plant and through the roots with a sharp soil knife or even a spade. <P> 1 Plant phlox in the spring and space the plants 1 to 2 feet apart. 2 If you are moving a plant from a pot, dig a hole about twice the size of the pot’s diameter and place the plant so that the top of the root ball is even with the soil’s surface. 3 Fill in around the root ball and remember to water it thoroughly. 1 It is easier to grow phlox from cuttings/transplants than seeds. 2 Plant phlox in the spring and space the plants 1 to 2 feet apart. 3 <P> Phlox subulata (creeping phlox, moss phlox, moss pink, or mountain phlox) is a species of flowering plant in the family Polemoniaceae, native to eastern and central USA, and widely cultivated. <P> Both alyssum and creeping phlox are low-growing, flowering plants.

what is myelitis | <P> Transverse Myelitis (TM) is a disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord. It is characterized by symptoms and signs of neurologic dysfunction in motor and sensory tracts on both sides of the spinal cord. The involvement of motor and sensory control pathways frequently produce altered sensation, weakness and sometimes urinary or bowel dysfunction. <P> MRI image of Transverse Myelitis patient's spinal cord. Myelitis involves the infection or the inflammation of the white matter or gray matter of the spinal cord which is a part of central nervous system that acts as a bridge between the brain and the rest of the body. Myelitis is classified to several categories depending on the area or the cause of the lesion; however, people often refer to any inflammatory attack on the spinal cord as transverse myelitis. <P> Overview. Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder caused by inflammation (swelling) across both sides of one level or segment of the spinal cord. Inflammation can damage or destroy myelin, the fatty protective substance that covers nerve cell fibers <P> Myelitis is a disease in which the white matter or gray matter of the spinal cord gets inflamed or infected, causing damage to the functionality of the central nervous system. <P> Transverse myelitis is an inflammation of the spinal cord, which often targets insulating material covering nerve cell fibers (myelin). Transverse myelitis may result in injury across the spinal cord, affecting sensation below the injury. <P> There are four classic symptoms of transverse myelitis: 1 weakness in the arms/legs. 2 sensory symptoms such as numbness or tingling. 3 pain and discomfort. 4 bladder dysfunction and/or bowel motility problems. It is characterized by symptoms and signs of neurologic dysfunction in motor and sensory tracts on both sides of the spinal cord. The involvement of motor and sensory control pathways frequently produce altered sensation, weakness and sometimes urinary or bowel dysfunction. <P> Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder caused by inflammation across both sides of one level, or segment, of the spinal cord. The term myelitis refers to inflammation of the spinal cord; transverse simply describes the position of the inflammation, that is, across the width of the spinal cord. Pain is the primary presenting symptom of transverse myelitis in approximately one-third to one-half of all patients. The pain may be localized in the lower back or may consist of sharp, shooting sensations that radiate down the legs or arms or around the torso. <P> Lupus myelitis is a form of transverse myelitis which is a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord. What causes transverse myelitis is not yet known; the inflammation may result from viral infections or abnormal immune reactions. <P> Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder caused by inflammation across both sides of one level, or segment, of the spinal cord. Most individuals will have only one episode of transverse myelitis. Recovery usually begins within 2 to 12 weeks of the onset of symptoms and may continue for up to 2 years and in some cases longer--requiring aggressive physical therapy and rehabilitation. | It is the infection or the inflammation of the white matter or gray matter of the spinal cord. |

Songwriters. <P> In the United Kingdom where the Merrilee Rush version had failed to reach the Top 50 stalling at No. 55, Angel of the Morning reached No. 29 in August 1968 via a rendition by P.P. Arnold who had sung background on the 1967 Billie Davis version; Arnold's version was produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. In 1977 Mary Mason also had a UK Top 30 hit with her version (in fact a medley of two Chip Taylor songs: Angel of the Morning-Any Way That You Want Me), which reached No. 27. The Shaggy song Angel heavily samples Angel of the Morning, using the melody with different words for the sung refrain. Swedish singer Jill Johnson released Angel of the Morning, with lyrics in English, in 2007 from her cover album Music Row. This version peaked at No. 30 at the Swedish singles chart. <P> 1 In 2001, the parody song You Ripped Off Angel (of the Morning) was released by Adam Posegate and received airplay on the Dr. Demento Show. 2 R&B artist Bei Maejor did a version of this song sampling the chorus and the beat. 3 It appeared on his mixtape Upsideown2.

where is urine produced | <P> As Kidneys are the Purifying organs in Humans, it receieves blood from the Renal Vein and purifies the blood, the waste material in blood and water is filtered in the kidneys and that's how it produces Urine. The process of urine production is complex. The kidneys are composed of units, Nephrons. <P> (Answer #1). The renal artery carries blood into the kidneys, which once there is filtered by nephrons. The waste filtered by these nephrons is combined with water to make urine. As the urine is produced it drains out of a tube called the ureter and collects in the bladder. Once your bladder is about half way fill your body signals you that you have to urinate. The urine exits your body through a tube called the urethra. <P> The kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes and produce urine. The ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra together form the urinary tract, which acts as a plumbing system to drain urine from the kidneys, store it, and then release it during urination. <P> Nephrons then filter that inside the kidneys. That produces urine which is 96% water, 4% urea and other wastes. Uret … ers pass the urine from each kidney to the bladder that holds urine. Then it goes through the urethra and out of the body. <P> The urine 24-hour volume test measures the amount of urine produced in a day. The amount of creatinine, protein, and other chemicals released into the urine during this period is often tested. <P> Storage and Excretion of Wastes. After urine has been produced by the kidneys, it is transported through the ureters to the urinary bladder. The urinary bladder fills with urine and stores it until the body is ready for its excretion. | In kidney |
what is testing tli | <P> If pancreatitis is suspected, a PLI test should be performed. In cats increased serum TLI is often also observed with small intestinal disease. In these cases serum concentrations of cobalamin and folate should be determined for evaluation of the small intestine. Schebo *new* Pancreas Elastase 1 Quick™ Canine test. If money is tight, there is an 'INDICATION option..... although not the gold-standard like the TLI... the Schebo can be done and then confirmed with a TLI at a later date when one has the resources. <P> The gold-standard test to confirm EPI is with a TLI (Trypsin-Like Immunoreactivity) blood test. If your dog is. Schebo *new* Pancreas Elastase 1 Quick™ Canine test. If money is tight, there is an 'INDICATION option..... although not the gold-standard like the TLI... the Schebo can be done and then confirmed with a TLI at a later date when one has the resources. <P> TLI may refer to: 1 Thallium(I) iodide, a Thallium compound. 2 Transport Layer Interface, a networking application programming interface.3 Trans Lunar Injection, a propulsive maneuver used to set a spacecraft on a trajectory which will arrive at the Moon. <P> Serum TLI is increased in approximately 30-40% of cats and dogs with pancreatitis; it is important to recognize that normal test results do not rule out the possibility of pancreatic inflammation. Serum TLI values above 50.0 µg/L (dogs) and 100.0 µg/L (cats) are consistent with either acute or chronic pancreatitis or decreased renal excretion due to severe renal insufficiency, although our experience suggests that serum TLI is often minimally increased even in severe renal failure. <P> Even though the TLI test will give reliable results, the vet may choose to perform other tests also, to determine the cause of the colitis. The TLI test will only indicate if the colon is inflamed. Ultrasound or x-rays may show if tumors are present. The vet may also perform a biopsy or a colonoscopy.f your dog displays any colitis symptoms, you should consult the vet and get a proper diagnosis. The diagnostics can be done through blood, urine and feces tests; the cause of colitis must be determined. The trypsin-like immunoreactivity (TLI) blood test is often used to diagnose colitis. <P> Special Considerations. Administration of oral pancreatic extracts does not affect serum TLI concentrations in either normal dogs or cats with EPI, so withdrawal of enzyme supplementation prior to testing of dogs and cats that are already receiving supplementation is unnecessary. In these cases the TLI assay should be repeated after one month paying particular attention to ensuring that food is withheld for 12 to 15 hours before the blood sample is collected. In cats, values equal to or below 8.0 µg/L are diagnostic for EPI, with values between 8.0 and 12.0 being equivocal. <P> Trypsinogen is a proenzyme (a non-activated enzyme) that is secreted into the small intestine by the pancreas, along with other pancreatic digestive enzymes. When it reaches the small intestine, trypsinogen is converted to trypsin, an enzyme that is involved in the digestion of proteins. TLI determination is primarily used for the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. This disease involves the portion of the pancreas that produces digestive enzymes. Insufficient enzyme production results in improper digestion of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. <P> Serum TLI is increased in approximately 30-40% of cats and dogs with pancreatitis; it is important to recognize that normal test results do not rule out the possibility of pancreatic inflammation. In these cases the TLI assay should be repeated after one month paying particular attention to ensuring that food is withheld for 12 to 15 hours before the blood sample is collected. In cats, values equal to or below 8.0 µg/L are diagnostic for EPI, with values between 8.0 and 12.0 being equivocal. <P> Texas Literacy Initiative.

what causes deterioration of the ozone layer | <P> Effects of the Ozone Hole. Thinning of ozone layer means getting direct in touch with ultra violet rays which can cause skin cancer or skin irritation which can lead to death. A decrease in 1% of ozone layer can cause 5% increase in cases of skin cancer. Ozone is made up of oxygen and is produced naturally in the atmosphere. As the presence of ozone gets reduced in the atmosphere, it causes the ozone layer to get thinner and thinner. The more ozone layer gets thin, the more big gets the size of ozone hole <P> The ozone layer prevents the harmful ultraviolet B-waves (UV-B) from reaching the earth. Increased exposure to UV-B is thought to be responsible for increases in skin cancer, eye cataracts and damage to plants and plankton. CFCs and similar man-made gases break down the ozone in the stratosphere allowing in harmful ultraviolet radiation. The ozone hole happens mostly in Antarctica where four months of winter darkness create ideal conditions for the destruction. <P> The deterioration of the ozone layer, caused by Cfcs, endangers the lives of humans'. Cfcs have a diminishing effect on the ozone layer. Furthermore, the deterioration of the ozone cause an increase of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation which can have a negative effect on human skin and eyes. As a writer for newsweek, I have investigated the scenario and found the following information. The type of UV rays absorbed by the ozone layer are the same ones that are most harmful to humans; skin cancer and cataracts. Furthermore, depletion of the ozone layer results in increased UV radiation exposure. One affect of UV on humans is skin cancer. <P> Yes. Ozone deterioration is very harmful. When the ozone deteriorates, detrimental UV rays pass through the ozone. Ozone deteriation causes respiratory problems, skin aging, sunburn, snow blindness, depression of the immune system, skin cance r, eye cataracts and blindness. <P> Cfcs Cause Deterioration of the Ozone Layer. The deterioration of the ozone layer, caused by Cfcs, endangers the lives of humans'. Cfcs have a diminishing effect on the ozone layer. Furthermore, the deterioration of the ozone cause an increase of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation which can have a negative effect on human skin and eyes. As a writer for newsweek, I have investigated the scenario and found the following information. <P> This results in a thinning of the ozone layer, and in polar regions, a hole. The holes occur at the poles, and usually in Antarctica because of the extreme cold. During the winter polar stratospheric clouds form which are able to convert gases in the atmosphere into Cl (chlorine) and ClO (chlorine monoxide). CFCs and similar man-made gases break down the ozone in the stratosphere allowing in harmful ultraviolet radiation. The ozone hole happens mostly in Antarctica where four months of winter darkness create ideal conditions for the destruction. <P> Today, there is widespread concern that the ozone layer is deteriorating due to the release of pollution containing the chemicals chlorine and bromine. Such deterioration allows large amounts of ultraviolet B rays to reach Earth, which can cause skin cancer and cataracts in humans and harm animals as well. Photograph by Stephen G. St. John. The ozone layer is a belt of naturally occurring ozone gas that sits 9.3 to 18.6 miles (15 to 30 kilometers) above Earth and serves as a shield from the harmful ultraviolet B radiation emitted by the sun. Ozone is a highly reactive molecule that contains three oxygen atoms. <P> What is Ozone Depletion? Ozone layer depletion, is simply the wearing out (reduction) of the amount of ozone in the stratosphere. Unlike pollution, which has many types and causes, Ozone depletion has been pinned down to one major human activity. | Respiratory problems, skin aging, sunburn, snow blindness, depression of the immune system, skin cance r, eye cataracts and blindness. |
when did education system became meritocratic | <P> The meritocratic view of the education system means that the system is fair and supports all however, other sociologists discard this view as legitimising a system of inequality where some people dues to wealth/class do better than others. Functionalists believe that the education system is meritocratic. Trough this system of meritocracy there is an equality of opportunity which is where school creates a system where all people can become equal no matter what class, gender or ethnicity everyone has the same opportunity to become a police officer or a doctor. ...read more. <P> The Tripartite System was the arrangement of state-funded secondary education between 1945 and the 1970s in England and Wales, and from 1947 to 2009 in Northern Ireland. It was the prevalent system under the Conservative governments of the 1951 to 1964 period, but was actively discouraged by the Labour government after 1965. It was formally abolished in England and Wales in 1976, giving way to the Comprehensive System. <P> Assess the view that the modern education system is meritocratic. Bowels and Gintis showed that there was a correspondence between the education system and the economy. The economy 'cast a long shadow over education'. This means that the schools exert ideological control and molded according to the needs of capitalism. Trough this system of meritocracy there is an equality of opportunity which is where school creates a system where all people can become equal no matter what class, gender or ethnicity everyone has the same opportunity to become a police officer or a doctor. ...read more. <P> This was partly the result of a historical neglect of education in the north of England, which the tripartite system did much to correct. Nevertheless, in 1963 there were grammar school places for 33% of the children in Wales and only 22% of children in the Eastern region. It was the prevalent system under the Conservative governments of the 1951 to 1964 period, but was actively discouraged by the Labour government after 1965. It was formally abolished in England and Wales in 1976, giving way to the Comprehensive System. <P> Labour had won the 1964 election, and Anthony Crosland became Secretary of State for Education in January 1965. He was an adamant critic of the tripartite system, and once angrily remarked, If it's the last thing I do, I'm going to destroy every last fucking grammar school in England. And Wales. And Northern Ireland.. It was the prevalent system under the Conservative governments of the 1951 to 1964 period, but was actively discouraged by the Labour government after 1965. It was formally abolished in England and Wales in 1976, giving way to the Comprehensive System. <P> The level of education required in order to become competitive in a meritocracy may also be costly, effectively limiting candidacy for a position of power to those with the means necessary to become educated. To enforce the merit system and the judicial system, the law also created the United States Civil Service Commission. In the modern American meritocracy, the president may hand out only a certain number of jobs, which must be approved by the Senate. <P> The British education system is an example of a less meritocratic education system proving that there is no equal opportunity as the system only enables those who were able to afford university to attend university, including those whom were most talented. Functionalists have argued that educational systems in modern industrial societies are meritocratic. Provision of equal opportunity towards education in different group helps to realize potentials and invoke the ability to be upwardly mobile, thus changing the structure of social inequality. <P> The new idea of the meritocracy led to the introduction of the Imperial examination system in China. The system allowed anyone who passed an examination to become a government officer, a position which would bring wealth and honour to the whole family. To enforce the merit system and the judicial system, the law also created the United States Civil Service Commission. In the modern American meritocracy, the president may hand out only a certain number of jobs, which must be approved by the Senate. | The meritocratic view of the education system means that the system is fair and supports all however, other sociologists discard this view as legitimizing a system of inequality where some people dues to wealth/class do better than others.Functionalists believe that the education system is meritocratic. |

what can you do for peripheral neuropathy | <P> Peripheral nerves send sensory information back to the brain and spinal cord, such as a message that the feet are cold. Peripheral nerves also carry signals from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles to generate movement. Damage to the peripheral nervous system interferes with these vital connections. Exposure to toxins may damage nerves and cause peripheral neuropathy. 1 Medication toxicity can be caused by many agents in addition to those for fighting cancer. 2 Other agents that commonly cause peripheral neuropathy as a side effect include those used to fight infection such as antiretroviral agents for treating HIV. <P> Peripheral: Beyond (in this case, beyond the brain and the spinal cord.). Neuro-: Related to the nerves. -pathy: Disease. Peripheral neuropathy refers to the conditions that result when nerves that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord from and to the rest of the body are damaged or diseased. The peripheral nerves make up an intricate network that connects the brain and spinal cord to the muscles, skin, and internal organs <P> Types of Peripheral Neuropathy. There are several different kinds of peripheral neuropathies that stem from a variety of causes. They range from carpal tunnel syndrome (a traumatic injury common after chronic repetitive use of the hands and wrists, such as with computer use) to nerve damage linked to diabetes. Peripheral neuropathy refers to the conditions that result when nerves that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord from and to the rest of the body are damaged or diseased. <P> Peripheral neuropathy is a type of damage to the nervous system. Specifically, it occurs when there is a problem with your peripheral nervous system, the network of nerves that transmits information from your central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord) to the rest of your body. The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy can vary greatly depending on what part of the body is affected. Symptoms can range from tingling or numbness in a certain body part to more serious effects such as burning pain or paralysis. <P> Peripheral neuropathy is damage of the peripheral nerves. Your peripheral nerves — the nerves in your toes and fingertips — are the ones on the periphery of your body. When the nerves are damaged, they don't function properly. The most common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include burning, numbness, tingling, or shooting or stabbing pain in the toes and/or fingertips. Any change in sensation in the fingers or toes may be a symptom of peripheral neuropathy. Be sure to report any abnormal sensations to your doctor. <P> Knowledge center. Neuropathy is the term used to describe a problem with the nerves, usually the 'peripheral nerves' as opposed to the 'central nervous system' (the brain and spinal cord). Neuropathy is seen with a number of different underlying medical conditions. <P> Peripheral neuropathy is a general term for a series of disorders that result from damage to the body’s peripheral nervous system. The body’s nervous system is made up of two parts; the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nerve system (PNS). The CNS includes the brain and the spinal cord. <P> Neuropathy--also called peripheral neuropathy--refers to any condition that affects the normal activity of the nerves of the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is the network of nerves that connects the central nervous system--the brain and spinal cord--to the rest of the body. <P> Cranial neuropathy is similar to peripheral neuropathy, except that the cranial nerves are involved. Any of the cranial nerves can be involved. One of the more common causes of cranial neuropathy is loss of blood flow from the optic artery to the optic nerve, causing ischemic optic neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is disorder of nerve(s) apart from the brain and spinal cord. Patients with peripheral neuropathy may have tingling, numbness, unusual sensations, weakness, or burning pain in the affected area. Oftentimes, the symptoms are symmetrical and involve both hands and feet | Peripheral neuropathy is damage of the peripheral nerves. The most common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include burning, numbness, tingling, or shooting or stabbing pain in the toes and/or fingertips. |

Slower titration to the dose levels greater than 4 mg/day may be advisable to allow full expression of the pharmacodynamic effect of XANAX. Panic Disorder. The successful treatment of many panic disorder patients has required the use of XANAX at doses greater than 4 mg daily. In controlled trials conducted to establish the efficacy of XANAX in panic disorder, doses in the range of 1 to 10 mg daily were used. The mean dosage employed was approximately 5 to 6 mg daily <P> The reason Xanax and other benzodiazepines are very popular is that they have almost completely replaced barbiturate use.

when is ford paying a dividend | <P> 1 Summary: Ford's (NYSE: F) restructuring has a new twist: Starting next quarter, the U.S. automotive giant will no longer pay shareholder dividends, the first time since 1982 the company wouldn't offer dividends. 2 In addition, Ford cut this quarter's dividend from 10 to 5 cents a share. 1 The automobile industry has a history of offering dividends: General Motors (NYSE: GM) pays an annual yield of 3.0%, and DaimlerChrysler AG (DCX) 3.4%, according to Standard & Poor's. <P> The Ford Motor board has decided to resume paying shareholders dividends on their common stock. The initial dividend is small, a quarterly payout of a nickel per share, with the first payment on March 1. But the symbolism is important: Ford hasn't paid a dividend to shareholders since 2006, the same period in which the company mortgaged all its assets for about $23 billion, money that let it weather the recession and update its lineup without a government bailout. <P> DETROIT (AP) -- Ford Motor Co. said Thursday it will resume paying a dividend in March, more than five years after it halted payments because of financial problems. The company's board approved a quarterly dividend of 5 cents per share. It will be paid on March 1 to shareholders of record as of Jan. 31.

Ford, which resumed paying a dividend last year after a five-year hiatus, cited its strengthening business for increasing the payout. Ford earned $6.47 billion before taxes in North America in 2012’s first nine months, more than it made in the region for all of 2011. <P> Jan. 16, 2013 3:16 PM ET | About: Ford Motor Company (F) by: Kraken.

Ford is doubling its quarterly dividend, one year after the automaker restored the payment to its shareholders. The automaker announced Thursday that it will pay 10 cents a share to shareholders on March 1.

But the company returned to profitability in 2009 and posted its biggest profit since 1998 in 2011 <P> The dividend yield calculation is simple: Take Ford's annual dividend payment and divide that by the current stock price. In this case it works out to $0.60 divided by $15.22 (as of this writing), which equals a dividend yield of 3.9%. Here are a couple of reasons that number is more important than many realize. For context, during that same time frame, Ford paid a total of $2.7 billion in dividends. Ford anticipates dumping only about $1 billion annually into its pension plan.

Paraffin is wax-like substance, a mixture of saturated compounds containing the maximum amount of hydrogen. In this regard, paraffin therapy is widely used in medicine for the treatment of diseases of the joints, the effects of a variety of injuries, pain in hands and feet. Together with the increased circulation of blood and lymph increases circulation and toxins release. <P> Getting a manicure in New York provides you with a lot of different types to choose from. One such type is a paraffin wax manicure. Paraffin wax is made from petroleum byproducts and is commonly used for candles, cosmetics and creating wax paper. Another way of applying paraffin wax during a paraffin wax manicure is to pour the paraffin wax into a bag and the manicurist will slip your hands into your bag. The manicure process will commence after the wax is removed. <P> Most salons and spas melt paraffin blocks in specialized manicure “basins” designed specifically for hand soaking. As the wax melts, manicurists usually rub patrons’ hands with a moisturizing exfoliating scrub to remove dirt and dead skin. Skin softening treatments being applied. Pink nail polish being applied.

what kind of leader was mao zedong | <P> Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong (1893-1976) was one of the historic figures of the twentieth century. A founder of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), he played a major role in the establishment of the Red Army and the development of a defensible base area in Jiangxi province during the late 1920s and early 1930s. His family was persecuted. Deng Xiaoping reemerged as China's paramount leader shortly after the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. Deng Xiaoping's goal in 1976 was to set China back on the course of economic development that had been badly interrupted during the final years of Mao's leadership. <P> In late autumn 1958, Mao Zedong strongly condemned widespread practices of the Great Leap Forward (GLF) such as subjecting peasants to exhausting labour without adequate food and rest, which had resulted in epidemics, starvation and deaths. Born the son of a wealthy farmer in Shaoshan, Hunan, Mao adopted a Chinese nationalist and anti-imperialist outlook in early life, particularly influenced by the events of the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 and May Fourth Movement of 1919. <P> Mao Zedong was the foremost Chinese Communist leader of the 20th century and theprincipal founder of the People's Republic of China.Mao was born December 26, 1893, into a peasant family in the village of Shaoshan, Hunanprovince. His father was a strict disciplinarian and Mao frequently rebelled against hisauthority. Mao Zedong 3 Zunyi Conference, as the meeting became known, was a crucial turning point in Mao'sascendancy to CCP leadership.From his base in Yan'an, Mao led Communist resistance against the Japanese, who hadinvaded Manchuria in 1931 and China in 1937. <P> Mao Zedong 1 (1893-1976) Mao Zedong led China's Communist revolution in the 1920s and 1930s and became chairman(chief of state) of the People's Republic of China in 1949, an office he held until 1959.

The People's Republic of China was established on October 1, 1949. It was the culmination of over two decades of civil and international war. From 1954 to 1959, Mao was the Chairman of the PRC. During this period, Mao was called Chairman Mao or the Great Leader Chairman Mao. The Communist Party assumed control of all media in the country and used it to promote the image of Mao and the Party. <P> Mao Zedong, 1957 © Mao was a Chinese communist leader and founder of the People's Republic of China. He was responsible for the disastrous policies of the 'Great Leap Forward' and the 'Cultural Revolution'. Mao was born on 26 December 1893 into a peasant family in Shaoshan, in Hunan province, central China. <P> Introduction. In 1966, China’s Communist leader Mao Zedong launched what became known as the Cultural Revolution in order to reassert his authority over the Chinese government. In the 1960s, Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong came to feel that the current party leadership in China, as in the Soviet Union, was moving too far in a revisionist direction, with an emphasis on expertise rather than on ideological purity. <P> After Mao Zedong won the Chinese civil war in 1949, his goal became the unification of the five nationalities under the big family, the People's Republic of China, and under a single political system, the Communist Party of China. Born the son of a wealthy farmer in Shaoshan, Hunan, Mao adopted a Chinese nationalist and anti-imperialist outlook in early life, particularly influenced by the events of the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 and May Fourth Movement of 1919. <P> Born: 26 December 1893 Birthplace: XiangTan, Hunan Province, China Died: 9 September 1976 (Natural causes) Best Known As: Head of the People's Republic of … China, 1949-76 Mao Zedong (also Mao Tse-Tung) was the world's most prominent Chinese communist during the 20th century. Mao Zedong became the first communist dictator of China in 1949 to 1976. He passionately believed in the communist party's theory, which is now largely known as Maoism. | Chinese communist leader and founder of the People's Republic of China. |
homozygous dominant definition | <P> If both copies are identical, we say that individual is homozygous for that gene. A recessive gene is one that has to be homozygous to have an effect on the plant's or animal's traits. If you have a lab rat with a dominant gene, you'll see its effect whether the rat has one copy of the gene or two. <P> An individual that is homozygous-dominant for a particular trait carries two copies of the allele that codes for the dominant trait. This allele, often called the dominant allele, is normally represented by a capital letter (such as P for the dominant allele producing purple flowers in pea plants). If both alleles of a diploid organism are the same, the organism is homozygous at that locus. If they are different, the organism is heterozygous at that locus. If one allele is missing, it is hemizygous, and, if both alleles are missing, it is nullizygous. <P> (2) Having two identical alleles that code for the same trait. Supplement. A ‘homozygous’ organism for a particular trait is described to possess either a pair of dominant alleles (e.g. AA) or a pair of recessive alleles (e.g. aa). Word origin: G. ‘homo’ meaning ‘same’ + zygous, which pertains to a zygote. Related forms: homozygosity (noun) <P> There are three forms of alleles; Homozygous dominant Homozygous recessive Heterozygous dominant 'Homo' means the same, so a homozygous DOMINANT allele would be 'BB' and a homozygous RECESSIVE allele would be 'bb'. 'Hetero' means different, so a heterozygous DOMINANT allele would be 'Bb'. A heterozygous dominant trait would be composed of two different alleles, and since it's dominant those alleles would be 'Bb' 4. A homozygous recessive trait would have the same alleles but they would be recessive, so a homozygous recessive trait would be 'bb'. Hope that made some sort of sense! <P> Both alleles for a trait are the same in an individual. They can be homozygous dominant (YY), or homozygous recessive (yy). hybrid. heterozygous; usually referring to the offspring of two true-breeding (homozygous) individuals differing in the traits of interest. <P> By Regina Bailey. Definition: Heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a single trait. Related Terms: Allele, Genes, Homozygous. Examples: The gene for seed shape in pea plants exists in two forms, one form or allele for round seed shape (R) and the other for wrinkled seed shape (r). <P> Definition of Homozygous Dominant. Many genes come in two versions: the dominant allele and the recessive allele. Since diploid organisms (like you and me) have two copies of each of our genes, we could have one of each allele and be heterozygous or have two of the same and be homozygous. Because this allele is dominant, we can't know from looking at this cat whether she has two copies of the agouti allele (this would make them homozygous dominant) or whether she has just one agouti allele and carries the recessive non-agouti allele. <P> A dominant allele can show with only one copy present (B) and recessive needs two alleles present (bb) to show. Remembering that B = dominant, b = recessive... 1. 'Homo' = same. A homozygous trait means the alleles are the same (bb or BB) 2. A heterozygous dominant trait would be composed of two different alleles, and since it's dominant those alleles would be 'Bb' 4. A homozygous recessive trait would have the same alleles but they would be recessive, so a homozygous recessive trait would be 'bb'. Hope that made some sort of sense! <P> I would think the opposite of homozygous dominant is homozygous recessive. A genotype that is homozygous dominant contains two dominant alleles (forms of the gene), and one th … at is homozygous recessive contains two recessive alleles. Heterozygous would be in between the other two, with one dominant and one recessive allele. 3 people found this useful. homozygous dominant means two alleles that are the same that are capital letters, heterozygous recessive means that to alleles are different BUT the same letters in lower case … . (alleles for gender) EX: TT, Tt is homozygous dominant tt, tt is heteroz <P> Best Answer: Well, homozygous means same so a homozygous recessive trait would be a same [with parents] trait that is not the stronger trait which is dominant. Dominant= stronger showing trait, recessive= weaker trait. If you are dealing with Punnett squares then tt= homozygous recessive and TT= homozygous dominant. | Many genes come in two versions: the dominant allele and the recessive allele.

what is optical flow | <P> The term optical flow is also used by roboticists, encompassing related techniques from image processing and control of navigation including motion detection, object segmentation, time-to-contact information, focus of expansion calculations, luminance, motion compensated encoding, and stereo disparity measurement. The concept of optical flow was introduced by the American psychologist James J. Gibson in the 1940s to describe the visual stimulus provided to animals moving through the world. <P> 1 Introduction to Optical Flow Optical flow is an approximation of the local image motion based upon local derivatives in a given sequence ofimages. That is, in 2D it specifies how much each imagepixel movesbetween adjacent imageswhile in 3Din specifieshow much each volume voxel moves between adjacent volumes. <P> Optical flow sensors are also being used in robotics applications, primarily where there is a need to measure visual motion or relative motion between the robot and other objects in the vicinity of the robot. The concept of optical flow was introduced by the American psychologist James J. Gibson in the 1940s to describe the visual stimulus provided to animals moving through the world. <P> Optical flow is the pattern of apparent motion of image objects between two consecutive frames caused by the movemement of object or camera. It is 2D vector field where each vector is a displacement vector showing the movement of points from first frame to second. <P> An optical flow sensor is a vision sensor capable of measuring optical flow or visual motion and outputting a measurement based on optical flow. Various configurations of optical flow sensors exist. One configuration is an image sensor chip connected to a processor programmed to run an optical flow algorithm. The concept of optical flow was introduced by the American psychologist James J. Gibson in the 1940s to describe the visual stimulus provided to animals moving through the world. <P> Definitions of optic flow. Optic flow is defined as the change of structured light in the image, e.g. on the retina or the camera’s sensor, due to a relative motion between the eyeball or camera and the scene. Further definitions from the literature highlight different properties of optic flow. Figure 1: shows the production and detection of optic flow. a) Optic flow is generated on the retina by changes in the patterns of light. The example shows the shift of two visual features (star and hexagon) on a plane and their angular displacements on the surface of the eyeball. <P> Optic flow defined. The term “optic flow” refers to a visual phenomena that you experience every day. Essentially, optic flow is the apparent visual motion that you experience as you move through the world. Suppose you sitting in a car or a train, and are looking out the window. You see trees, the ground, buildings, etc., appear to move backwards. Optic flow as seen from a bird, insect, or aircraft. The figure above shows what the optic flow might look like from an aircraft flying over a rocky desert (or over Mars!). The blue arrows show the optic flow that would be seen by a camera or a passenger on the aircraft. <P> What is Optical flow. 1.

what is a good creatine | <P> Overview. Creatine is a naturally-occurring amino acid (protein building block) that's found in meat and fish, and also made by the human body in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It is converted into creatine phosphate or phosphocreatine and stored in the muscles, where it is used for energy. <P> Knowledge center. Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid produced in the liver that helps supply energy to cells all over the body-particularly muscle cells. It is made out of three amino acids: L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine. <P> Creatine is a chemical that is normally found in the body, mostly in muscles. It is made by the body and can also be obtained from certain foods. Fish and meats are good sources of creatine. Creatine can also be made in the laboratory. <P> Creatinine is a chemical waste molecule that is generated from muscle metabolism. Creatinine is produced from creatine, a molecule of major importance for energy production in muscles. Approximately 2% of the body's creatine is converted to creatinine every day. Creatinine is transported through the bloodstream to the kidneys. <P> Creatine is good for you especially if you get this one: http://www.amazon.com/Micronized-Creatin... This is pure creapure creatine monohydrate so quality wise, it's one of the best brands you can get. Each serving has 5 grams. Creatine is probably the most researched supplement when it comes to body building stuff. | Fish and meats. |
what does neutropenic mean | <P> Neutropenia is an abnormally low level of neutrophils in the blood. Neutrophils are white blood cells (WBCs) produced in the bone marrow that ingest bacteria. Neutropenia is sometimes called agranulocytosis or granulocytopenia because neutrophils make up about 60% of WBCs and have granules inside their cell walls. Neutrophils are the most common type of granulocyte. Neutrophil — A granular white blood cell that ingests bacteria, dead tissue cells, and foreign matter. Sargramostim — A medication made from yeast that stimulates WBC production. It is sold under the trade names Leukine and Prokine. <P> neonatal neutropenia, alloimmune neutropenia in the newborn due to in utero incompatibility between its immunoglobulin G antigens and those of the mother's blood; the mother's blood produces antibodies that cross the placenta and sensitize fetal neutrophils. Neutrophils are the most common type of granulocyte. Neutrophil — A granular white blood cell that ingests bacteria, dead tissue cells, and foreign matter. Sargramostim — A medication made from yeast that stimulates WBC production. It is sold under the trade names Leukine and Prokine. <P> In this article. People with neutropenia have an unusually low number of cells called neutrophils. Neutrophils are cells in your immune system that attack bacteria and other organisms when they invade your body. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell. Your bone marrow creates these cells <P> Definition of Neutropenia. Neutropenia: Not enough neutrophils, neutrophils being a type of white blood cell (specifically a form of granulocyte) filled with neutrally-staining granules, tiny sacs of enzymes that help the cell to kill and digest microorganisms it has engulfed by phagocytosis. <P> Characteristics and symptoms of neutropenic fever: 1 When a person is neutropenic (has low white blood cells or neutrophils) the usual signs of infection (redness, swelling and pus formation) are absent. 1 When a person is neutropenic (has low white blood cells or neutrophils) the usual signs of infection (redness, swelling and pus formation) are absent. 2 Pain and tenderness may be the only other indicators of infection. <P> Approved by the Cancer.Net Editorial Board, 08/2015. Neutropenia is a low level of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. All white blood cells help the body fight infection. Neutrophils fight infection by destroying harmful bacteria and fungi or yeast that invade the body. Neutrophils are made in the bone marrow. <P> Knowledge center.

where are Protoceratops fossils found | <P> Protoceratops was discovered during the 1920s, in the Gobi desert, in Gansu, Inner Mongolia. Many skeletons were discovered by the American expedition. the type species, P. andrewsi, was formally described by Granger and Gregory in 1923. It is notably larger than P. andrewsi. In the 1920s, Roy Chapman Andrews discovered the first known fossilized dinosaur eggs, in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. Due to the proximity of Protoceratops, these eggs were believed at the time to belong to this species. <P> Protoceratops and Velociraptor in combat. In 1971, a fossil was found that captured a Velociraptor clutched around a Protoceratops in Mongolia. It is believed that they died simultaneously, while fighting, when they were either surprised by a sand storm or buried when a sand dune collapsed on top of them. It is notably larger than P. andrewsi. In the 1920s, Roy Chapman Andrews discovered the first known fossilized dinosaur eggs, in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. Due to the proximity of Protoceratops, these eggs were believed at the time to belong to this species. <P> Photographer James Blaine Shackelford discovered the first specimen of Protoceratops in the Gobi desert, (Gansu, Inner Mongolia), as part of a 1922 American expedition looking for human ancestors. Some researchers, including Peter Dodson attribute the different sizes and shapes of these bones to sexual dimorphism, as well as the age of the specimen, at the time of death. Protoceratops was approximately 1.8 meters (6 ft) in length and 0.6 meters (2 ft) high at the shoulder. <P> In 1975, Polish paleontologists Teresa Maryanska and Halszka Osmolska osmólska described a second species Of, protoceratops also from The campanian stage Of, mongolia which they Named. p.

Protoceratops was approximately 1.8 meters (6 ft) in length and 0.6 meters (2 ft) high at the shoulder. <P> 1 Protoceratops was a diminutive, beaked dinosaur. 2 it was nicknamed the sheep of the Cretaceous because of its ubiquity. 3 It has been suggested that fossil skeletons of Protoceratops and other beaked dinosaurs, found by nomads in Central Asia, may have been at the root of the image of the mythical creature, the griffin. A recent examination of the 80-million-year-old specimen revealed a single footprint preserved in the rocks encasing the fossilised bones. Polish and Mongolian fossil hunters first unearthed it in 1965 in Mongolia. <P> Griffins were also assigned the duty of guarding large hoards of treasure, notably gold. The region of Mongolia where many protoceratops fossils are found is rich in gold runoff from the neighboring mountains, lending credence to the theory that these fossils were the basis of griffin myths. It is notably larger than P. andrewsi. In the 1920s, Roy Chapman Andrews discovered the first known fossilized dinosaur eggs, in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. Due to the proximity of Protoceratops, these eggs were believed at the time to belong to this species. <P> Protoceratops was discovered in a semi-erect stance with the Velociraptor ’s right forelimb clutched between its jaws in a desperate fight for survival. Their discovery reveals a snapshot in time, of a life and death struggle, between these ancient adversaries. Detailed Images↓. During the Polish-Mongolian paleontological expedition to the Gobi Desert of Mongolia, in 1971, an articulated Velociraptor mongoliensis skeleton was found with hands and feet grasping a Protoceratops andrewsi. <P> Researchers currently distinguish two species of Protoceratops (P. andrewsi and P. hellenikorhinus), based in part by their respective sizes. In the 1920s, Roy Chapman Andrews discovered fossilized eggs in Mongolia that were interpreted as belonging to this dinosaur, but which turned out to be those of Oviraptor. Some researchers, including Peter Dodson attribute the different sizes and shapes of these bones to sexual dimorphism, as well as the age of the specimen, at the time of death. Protoceratops was approximately 1.8 meters (6 ft) in length and 0.6 meters (2 ft) high at the shoulder. <P> The region of Mongolia and China where many Protoceratops fossils are found is rich in gold runoff from the neighboring mountains, lending some credence to the theory that these fossils were the basis of griffin myths. No early human fossils were found, but the expedition, led by Roy Chapman Andrews, collected many specimens of the Protoceratops genus, along with fossil skeletons of theropods Velociraptor, Oviraptor, and ceratopsid Psittacosaurus. <P> The dinosaur is a Protoceratops, and since this is one of the most common dinosaurs found in the rich fossil beds of the Gobi Desert, it was not deemed to be very significant. But the scientists say it is the first example of a dinosaur being preserved with its own footprints. A recent examination of the 80-million-year-old specimen revealed a single footprint preserved in the rocks encasing the fossilised bones. Polish and Mongolian fossil hunters first unearthed it in 1965 in Mongolia. | Gobi Desert of Mongolia and China |
what is culdoplasty | <P> The McCall culdoplasty or a modification of this procedure is another means of supporting the vaginal cuff during transvaginal hysterectomy. 5, 6, 7 This procedure incorporates the uterosacral and cardinal ligaments to the peritoneal surface. If these supporting structures are not frail or attenuated, the pedicles are sutured to the vaginal membrane (Fig. 1). By securing the pedicles to the lateral angles of the vagina, the vault is supported and the lateral angles of the vaginal cuff are readily sutured. <P> The modified McCall Culdoplasty procedure is a relatively simple procedure that is performed after removal of the uterus and cervix from the apex of the vagina wherein the angles of the vagina are attached to their respective uterosacral ligament and the cul-de-sac is surgically obliterated for support postoperatively. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of performing prophylactic McCall culdoplasty at the time of total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The investigators will also be measuring pelvic support (using POP-Q) and sexual function before and at different time points (up to 12 months) <P> McCalls Culdoplasty. Culdoplasty is a procedure that's used with what's called a vault suspension.

The incidence of posthysterectomy vaginal prolapse varies from 0.2% to 43%. , Preventing complications is a sine qua non in surgery. If these supporting structures are not frail or attenuated, the pedicles are sutured to the vaginal membrane (Fig. 1). By securing the pedicles to the lateral angles of the vagina, the vault is supported and the lateral angles of the vaginal cuff are readily sutured. <P> The culdoplasty is a common component of hystectomy. In addition to suspending the vagina appropriately, the culdoplasty prevents a problem (like enterocele) from occuring in the area where the uterus used to live near the large intestine.

a food item that is a good source of potassium is | <P> Banana: 358mg Potassium (10% DV). Perhaps you thought bananas would rank higher on a list of foods with the most potassium. It’s common knowledge that bananas are a good source of potassium, and interesting to see that there are 5 other well-known foods that have more potassium in them than a banana. In addition to being high in potassium, kale is also a good source of vitamins A and C, calcium and magnesium, and is even a source of protein. There are many different types of kale, so be sure you try out several types so you know which ones you like best. <P> Bananas. If you’ve heard about any potassium-rich foods, you probably know that bananas are a good source, containing more than 400 mg of potassium each. Bananas make a healthy high-energy snack – more beneficial to athletes than sports drinks, according to at least one study. Other beans high in potassium include white beans, lima beans, pinto beans, and soybeans (edamame). 1 iStock Photo Dried Fruits: Apricots, Peaches, and Figs For a great potassium-rich snack that can also satisfy a sugar craving, try dried apricots. <P> Many of the elements of the D.A.S.H. eating plan --- fruits, vegetables, fat-free or lowfat (1 percent) dairy foods and fish --- are good natural sources of potassium. A diet that includes natural sources of potassium is important in controlling blood pressure because potassium lessens the effects of sodium. The recommended daily intake of potassium for an average adult is about 4,700 milligrams per day. But potassium should be considered as only part of your total dietary pattern. <P> Summary of Food Sources. Probably the first food that comes to mind when thinking about potassium is the banana. This is not wrong—by our Rating System, bananas are a good source of potassium. But there are 32 foods on our Rating Chart with more potassium per calorie than the banana. Speaking more generally, the most potassium-rich food sources of potassium are fruits and vegetables. Basic Description. Potassium is a mineral found in varying amounts in almost all foods.
