fiber muscle definition | <P> Skeletal muscle is made up of individual muscle cells or myocytes, known as muscle fibers. They are formed from the fusion of developmental myoblasts (a type of embryonic progenitor cell that gives rise to a muscle cell) in a process known as myogenesis. Muscle fibres are cylindrical, and multinucleated. The term muscle refers to multiple bundles of muscle fibers called fascicles. All muscles also contain connective tissue arranged in layers of fasciae. Each muscle is enclosed in a layer of fascia; each fascicle is enclosed by a layer of fascia and each individual muscle fiber is also enclosed in a layer of fascia. <P> Medical Definition of MUSCLE FIBER. : any of the elongated cells characteristic of muscle. What made you want to look up muscle fiber? <P> Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. It is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. The term muscle refers to multiple bundles of muscle fibers called fascicles. All muscles also contain connective tissue arranged in layers of fasciae. Each muscle is enclosed in a layer of fascia; each fascicle is enclosed by a layer of fascia and each individual muscle fiber is also enclosed in a layer of fascia. <P> A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell) is the type of cell found in muscle tissue. Myocytes are long, tubular cells that develop from myoblasts to form muscles in a process known as myogenesis. There are various specialized forms of myocytes: cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells, with various properties. The striated cells of cardiac and skeletal muscles are referred to as muscle fibers. <P> 1. muscle fiber-an elongated contractile cell that forms the muscles of the body. muscle cell, muscle fibre. fibre, fiber-any of several elongated, threadlike cells (especially a muscle fiber or a nerve fiber).

There are two main reasons for taking birth control pills prior to your IVF cycle. First of all, taking birth control pills prior to a stimulation cycle may help the ovaries respond better to the stimulation medication. Typically the injections are given daily for 8-12 days, depending on how your body responds to the medications. The average number of eggs retrieved at IVF is between 8 and 15. Please remember that it is the quality of the eggs, not the quantity that is important. <P> Third, there are two days during your menstrual cycle, when you can start your birth control pills. You can start either on the first day of your period or seven days after it. Either way will work. Our IVF doctors will create an IVF calendar for you, which will clearly state when you need to go off your birth control. Once the patient gets off the birth control pill, she will typically start her period 5 days later. The first day of heavy menstrual flows will be your Cycle Day 1. Note that some IVF protocols will require you to stay on the pill longer than 21 days. <P> It is rare to get a false positive 16 days after egg retrieval (Ovidrel or hCG from your trigger shot can linger in the body for as long as 12 days). Your most reliable result will come from your Quantitative Beta test on the day your IVF nurse recommends. Testing before that day can result in a worrisome low level. <P> Day 3 Transfer Vs. In many IVF cycles, the doctor may recommend a day 5 or “blastocyst” transfer. If the embryo(s) survives in the IVF lab for five days after the egg retrieval, it is likely that it will have reached the blastocyst stage. At this stage we are able to transfer just two embryos to achieve the same pregnancy rate as transferring three embryos on day 3. Day 5 (Blastocyst) Transfer. In many IVF cycles, the doctor may recommend a day 5 or “blastocyst” transfer. If the embryo(s) survives in the IVF lab for five days after the egg retrieval, it is likely that it will have reached the blastocyst stage. <P> 1 This example is for a 28 day menstrual cycle. 2 Birth control pills are not being used to control the menstrual cycle in this example. 3 For cycles using a birth control pill (BCP or OCP), we usually give 12-21 days of pills overlapping Lupron with the last 3 pills. As far as calculating a due date after IVF, the most accurate method is to add 266 days (or 38 weeks) to the day of the egg retrieval. The eggs are fertilized that day, which is the same as day 14 - the day of ovulation and fertilization in a normal <P> Step 11-Pregnancy Follow-up. Please call our office after the embryo transfer to schedule your pregnancy test 14 days after the egg retrieval. The pregnancy test is obtained before 10:00 a.m. and the results will be called to you the same afternoon. Positive tests are repeated in one week, and a sonogram will be scheduled. Typically the injections are given daily for 8-12 days, depending on how your body responds to the medications. The average number of eggs retrieved at IVF is between 8 and 15. Please remember that it is the quality of the eggs, not the quantity that is important. <P> Starting Your IVF Cycle. The IVF cycle entails multiple steps, and each step takes place at a specific time during a six-week period.

what is unrefined salt | <P> In contrast, unrefined, unprocessed salt contributes many dozens of trace minerals to the body that are not necessarily available from other sources. With the trace minerals, the salt is able to transport nutrients into the body's cells (and toxins out of the cells) while maintaining the body's fluid balance. The body's cells retain refined salt because it lacks trace minerals. Electrolyte balance is disturbed. The ultimate result is dehydration, edema, and high blood pressure. Insulin and blood sugar levels are also disrupted. <P> Refined salt--that's the table salt sold in the supermarket--now tastes thin to me and causes raging thirst. While refined salt causes water retention and dehydration, what's surprising is that unrefined salt rehydrates and restores fluid balance. The body's cells retain refined salt because it lacks trace minerals. Electrolyte balance is disturbed. The ultimate result is dehydration, edema, and high blood pressure. Insulin and blood sugar levels are also disrupted. <P> As previously mentioned, unrefined salt has many healthy minerals associated with it. On the other hand, refined salt contains primarily sodium and chloride as well as toxic additives. Unrefined salt is a whole food product which is easily utilized by the body. 4.

As a culinary use, unrefined salt also has a unique flavor and adds great texture to many different kinds of dishes. Refined Salt. Just as I’ve written about the refining process of other pantry staples, white table salt is also bleached and refined. It’s brined in a solution which can include sulfuric acid or chlorine and heated to a point which removes all of its minerals and elements useful to our body. <P> Basic Facts About Unrefined Salt. Unrefined salt is often called sea salt. It is composed of 84 percent sodium chloride and 16 percent other minerals. Because of these other minerals, unrefined salt can have a grainy texture and is not usually pure white. By comparison, refined salt is 97.5 percent sodium chloride. Unrefined salt provides more nutritional value and can actually be good for you due to the 16 percent other minerals that are found in it. It helps to balance your body's electrolytes and supplies 92 vital trace minerals. <P> For example, unrefined sea salt (e.g., Celtic Sea Salt) contains over 80 minerals and elements—all the natural elements necessary for life.

However, as pointed out in my book, Iodine, Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It, there is insufficient iodine in salt to prevent thyroid illnesses or to provide for the body’s iodine needs. <P> After sodium chloride (salt), the main mineral in unrefined sea salt is magnesium, which virtually everyone needs more of. Up to five percent of the weight of dry sea salt is a healthy and symbiotic mix of around 100 elements and over 80 additional compounds. <P> There is a huge difference between refined and unrefined salt. Unrefined salt is packed with essential minerals and supplies the body with a proper balance of sodium and chloride with over 80 trace minerals. Refined salt is a poor food choice. It has no place in our diet. 4. Iodine is added to refined salt to prevent goiter (swelling of the thyroid).

how long does it take for leopard gecko to settle in to new home | <P> The leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) is native to the arid regions of Pakistan and India. Male leopard geckos reach a size of 10 to 12 inches long, and female leopard geckos can measure from 7 to 10 inches long. Leopard geckos are known to live more than 20 years. <P> Leopard geckos will generally live for 10-20 years in captivity if cared for properly. The eldest recorded leopard gecko was Dink who died at 27 years of age. It depands on the leopard gecko usally 1 or 2 weeks. <P> Know when to put your gecko back in its tank. Geckos need warmth to keep their energy levels up. When they are climbing or running around in an area that is not as warm as their tank, they can become fatigued. A good rule of thumb is to check your leo’s belly after you have been playing with them for 10 minutes. If its belly is cold to the touch, place your gecko back in its tank so that it can warm back up. <P> How long does it take until a Gecko gets used to you? I bought a male leopard gecko 2 days ago and she is just staying in the log i put in her vivarium. <P> Leopard Gecko. Leopard geckos are one of the easiest lizards to keep, making them ideal pets for anybody new to reptile care. Popular for their beautiful mottled skin and docile nature, they don't need as much space as many other lizards and can live for 20 years or more. Find out more. <P> A single Leopard gecko can be housed in a ten gallon tank, two or more should have more room. Obviously a ten gallon tank is the minimum and your Leo won't complain about extra room. Typically, a group of three Leos will be comfortable in a 20 gallon-long tank. The tank needs a hide box for the gecko to sleep in. <P> Leopard Gecko Life Span. Leopard geckos are long-lived compared to some reptiles. On average you can expect your gecko to live six to 10 years, but many males live 10 to 20 years. At least one male is still breeding at 27½ years of age. A 10- to 20-gallon aquarium houses one or two leopard geckos from hatchling to adult size. Larger tanks tend to cause the geckos to stray away from their proper heat and hide box. Although visibility is reduced, many people use plastic storage boxes as housing. Any cage you choose should be at least 1 foot tall. <P> How long does it take for a leopard gecko to shed? if it was just hatched then probably 2 or 3 months. after that it will shed about 1 time a month. You may not know it sheded the night before because a lot of leo's will eat t … heir shedding. It depands on the leopard gecko usally 1 or 2 weeks. <P> 1. Get the right environment. A Leopard gecko does great in 10–15 gallon (37.9–56.8 L) tanks pretty much all of their life. Although they are desert geckos, it is recommended that Leopard geckos have paper towels as substrate until they reach an age of two years old, after that you may use a tile substrate. 5. Feed your leopard gecko. Leopard geckos should be fed crickets and meal worms as a staple diet. For newborns, feed only two to five meal worms everyday for about two months of age, then introduce a serving of two to three crickets plus two to three meal worms, add an extra cricket and meal worm as the gecko ages. | 6 to 10 years |
skills needed to be a psychiatrist | <P> Psychiatrists need to be able to take in complex information and synthesize it to reach a conclusion. Interacting with another human being is a complicated process at the best of times; when that person is coping with emotional disruptions or even psychosis, the experience can become very challenging. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in the mental conditions and difficulties of patients. Although psychiatrists deal with similar issues to those of psychologists, they differ from psychologists primarily because they're qualified to prescribe medications to patients. <P> Like all physicians, psychiatrists undergo a lengthy education. Undergraduate degrees must be followed by medical degrees, residencies and licensing exams. Even the best education and training, however, cannot guarantee success. To be an effective psychiatrist, the individual also needs certain personal skills. Psychiatrists need to be understanding about the problems, challenges and needs of others to be at their most effective. In clinical practice, a psychiatrist might hear statements that shock, anger or repel him. <P> Psychiatrists must be able to judge how another is reacting and why he is reacting in that manner. Especially when dealing with patients, a psychiatrist must use his own perceptions to determine potential risks and benefits, such as deciding whether a patient might become dangerous to himself or others. Psychiatrists need to be understanding about the problems, challenges and needs of others to be at their most effective. In clinical practice, a psychiatrist might hear statements that shock, anger or repel him. <P> To become a psychiatrist, a student must complete four years of college, four years of medical school, and three or more years of internship and residency. Yet, medical knowledge is just one of the skills a good psychiatrist needs. Ability to Communicate Well. A psychiatrist needs to be able to communicate with many people in addition to the patient. He may talk to family members to get other perspectives on the patient's problems, and to assess family dynamics. <P> As such, they need to have compassion and empathy for others. Psychiatrists need to be understanding about the problems, challenges and needs of others to be at their most effective. In clinical practice, a psychiatrist might hear statements that shock, anger or repel him. <P> When it is time for the psychiatrist to speak, he needs to be able to do so in such a way that the listener cannot possibly misunderstand what he is saying. Psychiatrists must also be able to understand written communications and prepare written reports or files so that others can understand what he is trying to convey. Psychiatrists need to be understanding about the problems, challenges and needs of others to be at their most effective. In clinical practice, a psychiatrist might hear statements that shock, anger or repel him. <P> Step 1: Attend Undergraduate School. Training for a career in psychiatry begins in undergraduate school, and a bachelor's degree is required for admission to medical school. Undergraduate students pursuing a career in psychiatry may consider majoring in psychology, but a specific major is not required. Step 2: Earn a Medical Degree. Aspiring psychiatrists must complete the same medical school training as doctors, surgeons and other physicians. Medical degree programs typically take four years to complete. <P> During completion of a psychiatric residency program, medical school graduates receive the additional training and education needed to work as a psychiatrist. Admission to residency programs can be competitive and is based on performance in medical school and scores received on medical board exams. Essential Information. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in the treatment of disorders of the mind. Psychiatrists spend twelve or more years studying at the postsecondary and postgraduate levels to acquire the education and training necessary to start a career. | To become a psychiatrist, a student must complete four years of college, four years of medical school, and three or more years of internship and residency. |
what are the connective tissues in smooth muscle tissue | <P> Connective tissue (CT) is one of the four types of biological tissue that support, connect, or separate different types of tissues and organs in the body. The other three types are epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissue. Connective tissue is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body, including the nervous system. In the central nervous system the outer membranes, the meninges, that cover the brain and spinal cord are composed of connective tissue. <P> Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle. It is divided into two subgroups; the single-unit (unitary) and multiunit smooth muscle. Within single-unit cells, the whole bundle or sheet contracts as a syncytium (i.e. a multinucleate mass of cytoplasm that is not separated into cells). Smooth muscle is found within the walls of blood vessels (such smooth muscle specifically being termed vascular smooth muscle) such as in the tunica media layer of large (aorta) and small arteries, arterioles and veins. <P> The types of connective tissue proper vary in the type and arrangement of the fibers included and the type of ground substance or matrix. The most common cell in these tissues is the fibroblast. <P> Also present, just underneath the epithelium of blood capillaries, are cells called Pericytes - (perivascular cells-peri is greek for 'around), which can divide and provide a source of new fibroblasts, especially following tissue injury. Finally, smooth muscle is commonly found in connective tissue. For example, in regions of connective tissue where there are glands, smooth muscle cells called myo-epithelial cells, which lie between epithelial cells and the basement membrane of ducts, are found. The type of connective tissue shown in this photograph on the right is is a type of loose connective tissue. Specialised connective tissue includes tendons and ligaments, Bone and Cartilage, haemopoetic tissue, blood and adipose tissue. Bone contains Osteocytes, and osteoblasts (osteo-bone) which secrete the type of extracellular matrix material (ECM) that makes up bone. <P> As a result of this basic topology, other tissues are either supported upon connective tissue (epithelial surfaces), invaginated into connective tissue (glandular epithelium), or embedded within the connective tissue (blood vessels, muscles, and nerves). EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX. The extracellular matrix of connective tissue is composed of ground substance and fibers. In ordinary connective tissue, the ground substanc e consists mainly of water. The principal fiber type is collagen (the most abundant protein in the body), with elastic fibers as a minor element. <P> MUSCLES AND MUSCLE TISSUE. Muscle is composed of fibers, nerves and connective tissues and account for over 40% of the body weight. The fibers contract to produce tension on the associated tissues or tendons. Muscle tissue is enclosed in facia, which in turn is attached to other structures including ligament. There are three types of muscle tissues: skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscles. Muscle tissue provides a) posture and body support b) locomotion and c) heat production. <P> While some varieties of the connective tissue proper are obvious in their form (tendon, organ capsules, fascias), others are easily confused with other tissues and cell types (for example smooth muscle, which may stain similarly to fibrous connective tissue). <P> One important challenge is to distinguish dense connective tissue from smooth muscle. Remember that smooth muscle will present the features we've just seen, in either longitudinal or transverse cut. In dense connective tissue, the nuclei will usually be outside the fibers. Remember that smooth and skeletal muscle fibers are cells, while connective tissue fibers are cables of acellular collagen. This is the border of smooth muscle and dense irregular connective tissue. With your study partners, find: 1 the connective tissue. 2 the smooth muscle. <P> There are three types of muscle tissues: skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscles. a. skeletal muscle: multinucleated, striated; attached to bones producing locomotion, general support and posture; producing heat. Contraction is voluntary, and not long-sustained. Muscle tissue is enclosed in facia, which in turn is attached to other structures including ligament. There are three types of muscle tissues: skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscles. Muscle tissue provides a) posture and body support b) locomotion and c) heat production. <P> Objectives: 1. Define the connective tissue layers/organization in skeletal muscle. 2. Identify the three types of muscle: smooth, cardiac and skeletal; understand why the latter two are referred to as striated muscles. 3. Identify the myofibrils and cross-striations in striated muscle fibers. 4. Distinguish between smooth muscle and dense regular connective tissue. 5. | Involuntary non-striated muscle |
what county is hartlepool in | <P> A railway link from the north was established from the South Durham coal fields to the historic town. An additional link from the south, in 1835, together with a new port, resulted in further expansion, with the establishing of the new town of West Hartlepool. Hartlepool is represented in the House of Commons by one Member of Parliament. The current MP for the Hartlepool constituency is Iain Wright of the Labour Party. He was first elected in a by-election on 30 September 2004 with a much-reduced majority following an 18% swing to the Liberal Democrats. <P> The information includes council tax rates and how to contact the council. Hartlepool is a local government district and borough in the ceremonial county of County Durham, North East England. In 2003 it had a resident population of 90,161. Hartlepool Borough Council is located in the Civic Centre on Victoria Road. All major bus routes stop on Vicotria Road or Hartlepool’s York Road is a short stroll away. For drivers, park in the Middleton Grange Shopping Centre car parks. <P> West Hartlepool TDSOB (Tech) ceased playing in 2008/09 year due to a high number of players leaving. The club continued to support town and County rugby with all of the towns other clubs playing at Grayfields when their own pitches were unavailable. Hartlepool is represented in the House of Commons by one Member of Parliament. The current MP for the Hartlepool constituency is Iain Wright of the Labour Party. He was first elected in a by-election on 30 September 2004 with a much-reduced majority following an 18% swing to the Liberal Democrats. <P> BBC Tees visited the town's Headland as part of its search for our region's identity. The search was sparked after Stockton South MP James Wharton said the region must decide who and where it is. In the Headland, the majority of people BBC Tees met were clear where they are-County Durham. Fresh feel. The Headland is just a couple of miles outside of Hartlepool's town centre but feels like a different world. While some of the streets and estates close to the town are run down and home to some of our region's most disadvantaged families, the Headland area has a fresh, positive air about it. <P> Donate. This is an ancient seaport and county borough which merged with its Victorian neighbour, West Hartlepool in 1967. It was not so much a marriage but more a reconciliation, for West Hartlepool was built in the 1830's by Ralph Ward Jackson in protest of increased coal shipment charges at the senior port. Hartlepool is not without its famous sports teams, it is renowned for both Football and Rugby with all matches being well attended by loyal fans. The Town Hall Theatre presents a varied programme of plays, comedy, music and dance, and Hartlepool stages a number of seasonal events. <P> A port town in County Durham, Hartlepool has been successful in creating a new, rather more tourist friendly image for itself, helped in no small part by continued investment and the hosting of the prestigious 2010 Tall Ships' Races. The Hartlepool of today is almost unrecognisable compared to the town of 20 years ago, and its transformation is at its most impressive around the former South Docks, which are now home to a vibrant 500-berth marina, full of luxury yachts and surrounded by waterfront bars, restaurants and shops. <P> Hartlepool (/ˈhɑːtlɪpuːl/ or /ˈhaːtlpuːl/) is a town on the North Sea coast of North East England, 7.5 miles (12 km) north of Middlesbrough and 17 miles (27 km) south of Sunderland. Hartlepool is represented in the House of Commons by one Member of Parliament. The current MP for the Hartlepool constituency is Iain Wright of the Labour Party. He was first elected in a by-election on 30 September 2004 with a much-reduced majority following an 18% swing to the Liberal Democrats. <P> It was one of the four districts of the non-metropolitan county of Cleveland. Cleveland was abolished in 1996 after a review by the Banham Commission, with the four boroughs of Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, Redcar & Cleveland and Middlesbrough becoming unitary authorities. Hartlepool was one of a small number council in the United Kingdom to have a directly-elected mayor. This followed a referendum held in the borough in October 2001, and the first mayoral election was held in May 2002. <P> Hartlepool is a unitary authority area in the ceremonial county of County Durham, north-east England.

how much schooling do you need to be a ASL interpreter | <P> Interpreters convert information from one spoken language into another—or, in the case of sign language interpreters, between spoken language and sign language. The goal of an interpreter is to have people hear the interpretation as if it were the original. <P> An ASL, or American Sign Language, interpreter uses hand motions to translate the English language into American Sign Language. ASL interpreters are needed to interpret communication from individuals who are deaf to individuals who are able to hear the English language, and vice versa. <P> Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a sign language interpreter. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and certification to find out if this is the career for you. <P> With many years of experience and a college degree, a sign language interpreter may earn as much as $35,000 to $45,000 a year. 1 Another example that this is an accurate pay scale is a source from El Camino College. They pay their experienced sign language interpreters $36,000 to $44,000 a year (2). <P> Interpreting students learn how to help Deaf and hearing people communicate with each other so that Deaf people can participate fully in society. If you major in sign language interpretation, you’ll prepare for work as an interpreter of American Sign Language (ASL). There's a shortage of qualified interpreters for the Deaf. <P> A bachelor's degree in interpreting is normally required to become an ASL interpreter and to take the certification exam administered by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf. RID also provides an alternative pathway for certification. <P> You can then begin the degree program, which will take two years for an associate degree or four years for a bachelor's degree. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that many employers desire a bachelor's degree for ASL interpreters, but the degree does not necessarily have to be in American Sign Language. <P> The first step in becoming an ASL interpreter is learning to sign. Some students study ASL during the first two years of a four-year degree program. Others learn to sign by taking courses at community colleges. | bachelor's degree |
what does era mean | <P> This baseball statistic represents the amount of earned runs, on average, that a pitcher allows for every nine innings he or she pitches. A pitcher's ERA is one of the most fundamental stats used to compare pitchers. ERA is calculated by dividing the pitcher's earned runs allowed by the total number of innings pitched and multiplying that total by 9. Earned Run Average = 9 x (Earned Runs Allowed/Innings Pitched). <P> Earned Run Average. The amount of runs a pitcher has given up per 9 innings pitched. Take earned runs, divide by how many innings pitched. That will determine how many runs that pitcher has given up per inning pitched. Multipy that number by 9.0, to determine how many runs that pitcher would give up in 9 innings. Example: Pitcher has given up 9 earned runs in 30 innings. <P> ERA in baseballs stands for “earned run average.” It is used to measure a pitcher’s performance and was originally created during the 1900s to rate the effectiveness of relief pitchers. Today, it is one of most widely recognized statistics used to assess a pitcher’s ability. Calculations. An ERA is calculated by adding up the earned runs and dividing the number by the number of innings pitched. That number is then multiplied by 9. For example, if a pitcher allowed 25 earned runs over 100 innings, you would divide 25 by 100 and then multiply by 9. The ERA would be 2.25. <P> Era. An era is a commonly used word for a long period of time. When used in science, for example geology, an era denotes a clearly defined period of time of arbitrary but well-defined length, such as for example the Mesozoic Era from 252 Ma–66 Ma, delimited by a start event and an end event. <P> Answer An era stands for earned run average, it is the average amount of runs given up over a nine inning period. This is computed by taking the number of runs gi … ven up multiplied 9 then divided by the number of innings pitched. that number by. Que soy era is typically the beginning of the sentence Que soy era inmaculada conceptiou Bernadette Soubirous said to be told by an apparition on the … day of annunciation in 1858. <P> In baseball statistics, earned run average (ERA) is the mean of earned runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings pitched (i.e. the traditional length of a game). It is determined by dividing the number of earned runs allowed by the number of innings pitched and multiplying by nine. Runs resulting from defensive errors (including pitchers' defensive errors) are recorded as unearned runs and are not used to determine ERA. <P> An era is a span of time marked by character, events, changes on earth, etc. When used in science, for example geology, an era denotes a clearly defined period of time of arbitrary but well-defined length, such as for example the Mesozoic Era from 252 Ma–66 Ma, delimited by a start event and an end event. When used in social history, eras may for example denote a period of some monarch's reign. In colloquial language, eras denote longer spans of time, before and after which the practices or fashions change to a significant degree. When era is extended to a calendar system, it is known as a calendar era <P> 3. (baseball) a measure of a pitcher's effectiveness; calculated as the average number of earned runs allowed by the pitcher for every nine innings pitched. Familiarity information: ERA used as a noun is uncommon. Hypernyms (era is a kind of...): geologic time; geological time (the time of the physical formation and development of the earth (especially prior to human history)). Meronyms (parts of era): geological period; period (a unit of geological time during which a system of rocks formed). | ERA is the mean of earned runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings pitched. |
what stimulates gastrin secretion | <P> A gastrin test measures the level of the hormone gastrin in the blood. Gastrin is produced by cells, called G cells, in the stomach lining. When food enters the stomach, G cells trigger the release of gastrin in the blood. As blood levels of gastrin rise, the stomach releases acid (gastric acid) that helps break down and digest food. When enough gastric acid has been produced by the stomach, gastrin levels in the blood drop. <P> What is gastrin? Gastrin is a hormone that is produced by ‘G’ cells in the lining of the stomach and upper small intestine. During a meal, gastrin stimulates the stomach to release gastric acid. This allows the stomach to break down proteins swallowed as food and absorb certain vitamins. <P> Gastrin. The hormone gastrin is the primary controller of acid secretion in your stomach. Specialized cells in your stomach, known as G cells, produce gastrin in response to the presence of food. Gastrin release from your G cells stimulates acid production by another type of stomach cell called the parietal cell. Foods containing protein are potent stimulants of gastrin production, which leads to vigorous secretion of stomach acid <P> 1 A. increased production of HCl by parietal cells stimulates gastrin secretion. 2 B. gastrin stimulates ECL cells to release histamine. 3 C. somatostatin is an inhibitor of gastrin secretion. 4 D. elevated gastric pH stimulates G cells to release gastrin. <P> gastrin. a polypeptide hormone secreted by certain cells of the pylorus, which strongly stimulates secretion of gastric acid and pepsinogen, and weakly stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes and gallbladder contraction. gastrin assay. plasma levels are elevated in gastrointestinal disease and other systemic diseases <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Gastrin is a peptide hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by the parietal cells of the stomach and aids in gastric motility. It is released by G cells in the pyloric antrum of the stomach, duodenum, and the pancreas. Gastrin binds to cholecystokinin B receptors to stimulate the release of histamines in enterochromaffin-like cells, and it induces the insertion of K + /H + ATPase pumps into the apical membrane of parietal cells (which in turn increases H + release into the stomach cavity). | Gastrin is a peptide hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by the parietal cells of the stomach and aids in gastric motility. |

cost mri scan | <P> CT Scan costs range from $1,200 to $3,200; they usually cost less than MRIs (about half the price of MRI). MRI costs range from $1,200 to $4,000 (with contrast), which is usually more expensive than CT scans and X-rays, and most examining methods. Time taken for complete scan. Usually completed within 5 minutes. This is a good pricing guide for CT scan machines. A vanilla 4-slice CT scanner costs $85,000 to $150,000. A 16-slice scanner costs $145,000 to $225,000 and the top-of-the-line 64-slice CTs can cost up to $450,000. The machines may typically need annual maintenance, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars. <P> Shop and save with New Choice Health! A MRI in Atlanta costs $1,016 on average when you take the median of the 108 medical providers who perform MRI procedures in Atlanta, GA. The least expensive MRI in Atlanta is $390 for a MRI of Head while the most expensive MRI list price is $1,650 for a Breast MRI (One Breast). <P> 1 MRI cannot be done on patients who are claustrophobic as the patient has to remain inside the noisy machine for about 20-45 minutes. 2 CT scan is cheaper than an MRI. 3 A CT scan costs $1,200 to $3,200 while an MRI can cost up to $4,000. This is a good pricing guide for CT scan machines. A vanilla 4-slice CT scanner costs $85,000 to $150,000.

The machines may typically need annual maintenance, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars. <P> Add in the Doctors and Hospitals. Charges for a single MRI scan vary widely across the country for reasons beyond startup costs. According to the recently released Medicare data, MRIs charges are as little as $474 or as high as $13,259, depending on where you go. When it comes to pricey hospital procedures, MRIs come to mind. Sure enough, according to recently released Medicare pricing data analyzed by NerdWallet Health, the average cost of an MRI in the U.S. is $2,611. Here’s what’s behind that number. <P> 1 About one in 20 patients feel claustrophobic or anxious inside a traditional MRI machine and require a mild sedative such as propofol (Diprivan) , which can cost about $125-$400. 2 An estimated 5%-10% of patients need a contrast solution, or special dye injected into the body, to further enhance the scan. 1 For example, in New Hampshire hospitals the scan typically costs about $ 2,772 -$5,501. 2 At Pacific Alliance Medical Center in Los Angeles, a brain MRI without contrast (a special dye delivered by IV) costs $4,166. 3 The MRI, when deemed medically necessary, is typically covered by health insurance plans <P> In some cases, an MRI can produce clearer images than an X-ray or CT scan. Most MRIs are typically covered by health insurance when deemed medically necessary. If deductibles are met, typical out-of-pocket cost consists of copays of $20-$100 for the doctor visit and for the procedure. What should be included: 1 A spinal MRI is used to find various spinal problems, including nerve damage or tumors. 2 It typically costs $1,000-$5,000, depending on the part of the spine being scanned and whether the procedure is performed in a hospital or physician's office. <P> Discounts: 1 About one in 20 patients feel claustrophobic or anxious inside a traditional MRI machine and require a mild sedative such as propofol (Diprivan) , which can cost about $125-$400. 2 An estimated 5%-10% of patients need a contrast solution, or special dye injected into the body, to further enhance the scan. 1 For example, in New Hampshire hospitals the scan typically costs about $ 2,772 -$5,501. 2 At Pacific Alliance Medical Center in Los Angeles, a brain MRI without contrast (a special dye delivered by IV) costs $4,166. 3 The MRI, when deemed medically necessary, is typically covered by health insurance plans <P> 1 A spinal MRI is used to find various spinal problems, including nerve damage or tumors. 2 It typically costs $1,000-$5,000, depending on the part of the spine being scanned and whether the procedure is performed in a hospital or physician's office.

what are metals | <P> Metals and Nonmetals. As shown on the periodic table of the elements below, the majority of the chemical elements in pure form are classified as metals. It seems appropriate to describe what is meant by metal in general terms. This general description is adapted from Shipman, et al. <P> Silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) are some of the most efficient metals and are often used in electronics. 2. Reactivity: Metals are very reactive, some more than others, but most form compounds with other elements quite easily. Sodium (Na) and potassium (K) are some of the most reactive metals. A metal like iron (Fe) forms iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3), which you know as rust. <P> Metals are opaque, lustrous elements that are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most metals are malleable and ductile and are, in general, denser than the other elemental substances. <P> Here is look at the location of the metals on the periodic table and their common properties: Examples of Metals. Most of the elements on the periodic table are metals, including gold, silver, platinum, mercury, uranium, aluminum, sodium and calcium. Alloys, such as brass and bronze, also are metals. <P> The elements can be classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, and are malleable (they can be hammered into sheets) and ductile (they can be drawn into wire). <P> Metals are opaque, lustrous elements that are good conductors of heat and electricity.

what is neurasthenia | <P> neurasthenia (nerˑ· s·thēˑ·nē·) , n term introduced by the American neurologist GM Beard to describe a condition characterized by irritability, lack of concentration, hypochondria, and worry. Neurasthenia was viewed as a reflection of the natural superiority of the American culture and a product of the progress and refinement of modern civilisation; treatments included cold water cures, diets, exercise, arsenic and many others. <P> Neurasthenia is currently a diagnosis in the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (and the Chinese Society of Psychiatry 's Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders). Americans were said to be particularly prone to neurasthenia, which resulted in the nickname Americanitis (popularized by William James). <P> As a psychopathological term, neurasthenia was used by Beard in 1869 to denote a condition with symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, headache, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, neuralgia and depressed mood. Americans were said to be particularly prone to neurasthenia, which resulted in the nickname Americanitis (popularized by William James). <P> Neurasthenia. Neurasthenia was a term first coined by George Miller Beard in 1869. Beard's definition of neurasthenia described a condition with symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, headache, impotence, neuralgia and depression. It was explained as being a result of exhaustion of the central nervous system's energy reserves, which Beard attributed to civilisation. Neurasthenia Neurasthenia was a term first coined by George Miller Beard in 1869. <P> Important. It is possible that the main title of the report Neurasthenia is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. <P> 1 Neurasthenia term is related to condition which shows symptoms of weakness, nervousness, headache, loss of memory, neuralgia, depressed mood, irritability, lack of concentration, hypochondria and hyperventilating. Neurasthenia is a mental disorder triggered by stress or anxiety. Symptoms may include. 1 weakness or fatigue, which may be accompanied by chest pain. 2 rapid intense heartbeat that may be irregular (palpitations, tachycardia). 3 cold, clammy hands and feet. 4 abnormally rapid breathing (hyperventilating). 5 dizziness or faintness. <P> Effexor. Buspirone. Neurasthenia is characterized by general lassitude, irritability, lack of concentration, worry, and hypochondria. The term was introduced into psychiatry in 1869 by G. M. Beard, an American neurologist. <P> Neurasthenia is another name for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. It means the weakness of the nervous system. Neurasthenia is characterized by general lassitude, irritability, lack of concentration, worry, and hypochondria. Neurasthenia is a mental disorder triggered by stress or anxiety. Neurasthenia covers a wide spectrum of symptoms, including painful sensations or numbness in parts of the body, chronic fatigue, anxiety, and fainting. <P> Neurasthenia is characterized by general lassitude, irritability, lack of concentration, worry, and hypochondria and also known Primary Neurasthenia, Cardiac Neurosis, Chronic Asthenia, Da Costa's Syndrome, Effort Syndrome, Functional Cardiovascular Disease, Soldier's Heart and Subacute Asthenia. Physicians of the Beard way of thinking associated neurasthenia with the stresses of urbanization and the pressures placed on the intellectual class by the increasingly competitive business environment. Typically, it was associated with upper class individuals in sedentary employment. | Neurasthenia is currently a diagnosis in the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (and the Chinese Society of Psychiatry 's Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders). |
age limit for child to stay home alone | <P> The National SAFEKIDS Campaign recommends that no child under the age of 12 be left at home alone. However, consider a child's age and maturity level. For example, if a child is extremely impulsive, it might be best to wait until he or she is older than 12. There appear to be very few states with specific regulations about the age of a child left at home alone. These states do not set a specific age after which a child legally can stay home alone but do provide recommendations. CARE Latchkey Kids Calling Solutions. DSC provides an easy and secure sign-up procedure (For a quick overview, please visit the registration information web page). <P> Most experts say that by age 10 or 11, it's OK to leave a child alone for short periods of time (under an hour) during the day, provided they're not scared and you think they're mature enough to handle it. Here are a few factors to consider before turning over the house -- and your other kids -- to your preteen. Most states don't have laws stipulating how old a child needs to be to stay home alone. So the decision is left up to the parents' judgment. It's pretty obvious to most parents that a 5-year-old is too young to be left alone in the house <P> Below are general guidelines to follow when considering the age range for leaving a child home alone. 7 & under-Should not be left alone for any period of time. This may include leaving children unattended in cars, playgrounds, and backyards. 8 to 10 years-Should not be left alone for more than 1½ hours and only during daylight and early evening hours. 11 to 12 years-May be left alone for up to 3 hours but not late at night or in circumstances requiring inappropriate responsibility. 13 to 15 years-May be left unsupervised, but not overnight. 16 to 17 years-May be left unsupervised (in some cases, for up to two consecutive overnight periods) <P> The following table lists legal age restrictions for children left at home alone categorized by state within the U.S. Please note that city and county ordinances within each state may have more definitive and restrictive laws.

There is no single answer to “how old is old enough”. No magical age or single indicator that ensures a child is ready to stay at home alone (or with younger siblings). Some states have made laws that specify an age (e.g. 10 years old) below which it is illegal to leave children alone. Other states (such as California) do not set a specific age, but rather, consider the maturity level of the child. <P> There is no national law regarding a child’s minimum age to stay home alone. A few states have set forth an age, such as Oregon (10 years) and Maryland (8 years), but the majority are either completely silent on the issue or offer only recommendations. <P> Laws for Leaving a Child Home Alone. Only a couple of states have laws that specify the age when a child can be left home alone, including Maryland (age 8) and Illinois (age 14). However, most states have guidelines with the Department of Health and Human Services or other child protective agencies that test a child's ability to be left home alone. 8 to 10 years-Should not be left alone for more than 1½ hours and only during daylight and early evening hours. 11 to 12 years-May be left alone for up to 3 hours but not late at night or in circumstances requiring inappropriate responsibility. 13 to 15 years-May be left unsupervised, but not overnight. 16 to 17 years-May be left unsupervised (in some cases, for up to two consecutive overnight periods) <P> Maturity Check.

what does a expansion tank do in a car | <P> An expansion tank or expansion vessel is a small tank used to protect closed (not open to atmospheric pressure) water heating systems and domestic hot water systems from excessive pressure. The tank is partially filled with air, whose compressibility cushions shock caused by water hammer and absorbs excess water pressure caused by thermal expansion. <P> Expansion Tanks. The expansion tank is a vital part of your car's cooling system and acts as an overflow reservoir catching the water/coolant mix that is forced from your radiator as it heats and builds pressure in the system. , cooling systems would explode under pressure or the coolant would be forced from the overflow tube on the radiator and leak onto the road. If your find yourself having to replace coolant too regularly then check your expansion tank and the rest of your system for leaks. <P> Firstly, the problem we are addressing with the tank is thermal expansion. When water is heated it expands. For example, water heated from 90°F to a thermostat setting of 140°F in a 40 gallon hot water heater will expand by almost one-half gallon. This is because when water is heated, its density decreases and its volume expands (see below). If you do not have a one way valve installed on the main water line, and therefore do not have a closed water system, you may still benefit from a water heater expansion tank. <P> 10 most extreme places on Earth. A coolant expansion tank is a common component found in most automotive applications. They are typically connected by a tube to the radiator filler neck, and can serve as a place for excess coolant to be captured when the pressure release valve in the radiator cap gives way. <P> That is an expansion tank installed on the water supply pipe to the water heater. Its purpose is to deal with thermal expansion of water as it heats up in the water heater-to prevent water pressure from getting too high. Water pressure in the system doesn't increase significantly. Most houses that have a check valve on the water service pipe-usually as part of a pressure-reducing valve installed just above or below the main water cutoff-do not have an expansion tank, since it wasn't required until recently. <P> Making the world better, one answer at a time. The expansion tank retains coolant in a reservoir that's been forced out of the car's radiatior under pressure. As you run your car, the temprerature of the coolant circulating through the water jackets naturally increases causing increasing pressure in the cooling system. When the pressure builds to a high enough point, the radiatior cap allows that pressure to escape into the coolant reservoir through a small black rubber tube, called an overflow tube connected by the neck of the radiator to the expansion tank. <P> expansion tanks. , cooling systems would explode under pressure or the coolant would be forced from the overflow tube on the radiator and leak onto the road. If your find yourself having to replace coolant too regularly then check your expansion tank and the rest of your system for leaks. <P> Most of the coolant that is forced into the expansion tank returns to the radiator naturally after a few hours or when the engine is cold. If you had no expansion tank on your car, then the coolant that was released under pressure would spill out onto the road. When the pressure builds to a high enough point, the radiatior cap allows that pressure to escape into the coolant reservoir through a small black rubber tube, called an overflow tube connected by the neck of the radiator to the expansion tank. <P> The expansion tank retains coolant in a reservoir that's been forced out of the car's radiatior under pressure.

During the early years of the Cold War, West Berlin was a geographical loophole through which thousands of East Germans fled to the democratic West. In response, the Communist East German authorities built a wall that totally encircled West Berlin. It was thrown up overnight, on 13 August 1961. The Berlin Wall was officially referred to as the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart (German: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall) by GDR authorities, implying that the NATO countries and West Germany in particular were fascists by GDR propaganda. <P> The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer) separated the city of Berlin in Germany from 1961 to 1989. It separated the eastern half from the western half. Many people thought it was a symbol of the Cold War. The Berlin Wall was taken down on November 9, 1989. The Berlin Wall was about 168 km (104 miles) long. It was built to prevent people from escaping from the eastern half of Berlin. <P> The Berlin Wall was both the physical division between West Berlin and East Germany from 1961 to 1989 and the symbolic boundary between democracy and Communism during the Cold War. Dates: August 13, 1961 -- November 9, 1989. Also Known As: Berliner Mauer (in German). <P> Before the Wall's erection, 3.5 million East Germans circumvented Eastern Bloc emigration restrictions and defected from the GDR, many by crossing over the border from East Berlin into West Berlin; from which they could then travel to West Germany and other Western European countries. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on 9 November 1989 that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere. <P> Construction of the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall was erected on August 13, 1961. Early on that Sunday morning the GDR began, under Secretary General Erich Honecker, to block off East Berlin and the GDR from West Berlin by means of barbed wire and antitank obstacles. Streets were torn up, and barricades of paving stones were erected. Reconstruction of Berlin. Since the Berlin Wall became obsolete with the 1989 opening of the borders between East and West Germany, Berliners have created massive reconstruction, mostly in what was East Berlin. <P> The Berlin Wall was built by the communist government of East Berlin 1961.

Born of the splintering of Germany by the Allies at the end of World War II, the wall was a symbol of communist authoritarianism, the most visible element of the Iron Curtain. It separated families, cut people off from their jobs and left East Germans peering into the vibrant west from their drab communist apartments. <P> Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! Introduction. In post-World War II Germany, the Berlin Wall was erected on August 16, 1961, along the demarcation between the eastern sector of Berlin controlled by the Soviet Union, and the western sectors occupied by the United States, France, and Great Britain. Reconstruction of Berlin. Since the Berlin Wall became obsolete with the 1989 opening of the borders between East and West Germany, Berliners have created massive reconstruction, mostly in what was East Berlin. | Nov. 10, 1989: East German border guards try to prevent a crowd climbing onto the Berlin Wall on the morning that the first section was pulled down. |

define buyer behaviour | <P> Consumer buyer behaviour is considered to be an inseparable part of marketing and Kotler and Keller (2011) state that consumer buying behaviour is the study of the ways of buying and disposing of goods, services, ideas or experiences by the individuals, groups and organizations in order to satisfy their needs and wants. Moreover, the following popular definitions have been proposed for the term of consumer buyer behaviour: 1 According to Blackwell et al (2006) consumer buying behaviour is itself is a complex, dynamic issue which cannot be defined easily and commonly. <P> To define consumer behavior: it is the study of consumers and the processes they use to choose, use (consume), and dispose of products and services. A more in depth definition will also include how that process impacts the world. Consumer behavior incorporates ideas from several sciences including psychology, biology, chemistry and economics. All marketing decisions are based on assumptions and knowledge of consumer behavior, (Hawkins and Mothersbaugh, 2007). <P> (April 2011). Consumer Behaviour is the study of individuals, groups, or organizations and the processes they use to select, secure, use, and dispose of products, services, experiences, or ideas to satisfy needs and the impacts that these processes have on the consumer and society. Customer behavior study is based on consumer buying behavior, with the customer playing the three distinct roles of user, payer and buyer. <P> Alternatively, consumer buying behaviour “refers to the buying behaviour of final consumers, both individuals and households, who buy goods and services for personal consumption” (Kumar, 2010, p.218). Moreover, the following popular definitions have been proposed for the term of consumer buyer behaviour: 1 According to Blackwell et al (2006) consumer buying behaviour is itself is a complex, dynamic issue which cannot be defined easily and commonly. <P> LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION TO CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR Introduction As a consumer we are all unique and this uniqueness is reflected in the consumption pattern and process of purchase. The study of consumer behaviour provides us with reasons why consumers differ from one another in buying using products and services. Exploring the link between marketing and Customer orientation Definition, role and importance of consumer behavior for a marketer Identify the major factors that influence a consumer’s purchase decision and behavior A simplified model of the consumer decision-making framework Define consumer behavior. <P> 1 The definition formed by Solomon et al (1995) describes consumer buying behaviour as a process of choosing, purchasing, using and disposing of products or services by the individuals and groups in order to satisfy their needs and wants. Moreover, the following popular definitions have been proposed for the term of consumer buyer behaviour: 1 According to Blackwell et al (2006) consumer buying behaviour is itself is a complex, dynamic issue which cannot be defined easily and commonly. <P> Definition. A management theory component which analyzes the purchasing habits of individuals and/or groups. Primarily used for marketing purposes, the analysis includes an examination of perception, desire, decision-making and satisfaction. The four models that are often used include economic model, learning theory model, psychoanalytic model and information processing model. <P> 1 Complex buying behavior-This type of behavior involves a high degree of consumer involvement in the buying process with the consumer seeing a great difference among brand choices. 1 Habitual buying behavior-A typical consumer's involvement in the buying process is low because the consumer doesn't see much difference between available brands in habitual buying behavior. <P> Example of previous research used to define consumer behaviour. Moreover, the following popular definitions have been proposed for the term of consumer buyer behaviour: 1 According to Blackwell et al (2006) consumer buying behaviour is itself is a complex, dynamic issue which cannot be defined easily and commonly. <P> In a laymans language consumer behaviour deals with the buying behaviour of individuals. The main catalyst which triggers the buying decision of an individual is need for a particular product/service. Consumers purchase products and services as and when need arises. | Consumer buyer behaviour is considered to be an inseparable part of marketing and Kotler and Keller (2011) state that consumer buying behaviour is the study of the ways of buying and disposing of goods, services, ideas or experiences by the individuals, groups and organizations in order to satisfy their needs and wants. |
how often can you breed hedgehogs | <P> Speaking of the due date, the gestation period for hedgehogs is approximately 35 days. I have heard of births happening from about 33 days through to about 42, so the 35 is not absolute. Most will be within the 34-37 day range, however. Probably most notable is that mother hedgehogs will tend to eat the babies if disturbed at all for a few days prior to, and for up to about 10 days after the birth. This can be heartbreaking and very frustrating to would be breeders. By our (human) standards, this sort of thing is unthinkable, and very hard to accept. <P> How old should a female be when she is bred?-. It is recommended that you wait until a female is at least 6 months of age before she is bred for the first time. You should not breed a female if she is or may be over 18 months of age and has never had babies before. That depends on the female. Typically, it is suggested to retire breeding females at around 2 1/2 years of age. Sometimes, they will retire themselves at a younger age, by failing to concieve or by refusing to raise babies. <P> Male hedgehogs know what to do (females do as well, but will often play hard to get). Males will usually squeak very loudly and plaintively when they encounter a female -- and the actual courtship antics are usually VERY entertaining. Probably most notable is that mother hedgehogs will tend to eat the babies if disturbed at all for a few days prior to, and for up to about 10 days after the birth. This can be heartbreaking and very frustrating to would be breeders. By our (human) standards, this sort of thing is unthinkable, and very hard to accept. <P> Never breed ill-tempered animals! This is very irresponsible since that bad attitude will be passed on to the hoglets! The female should be between 5 and 12 months when you first breed her-no younger and preferably, no older. If she is too young, it could cause permanent damage to her internal organs. After she is one year old, her chances of conceiving for the first time drop dramatically. Since you will be bringing the female to the male's cage, (this ensures better breeding success) clean his cage, and remove any obstacles such as toys, tubes or boxes that might get in their way. Then, take her to his cage and leave them together for about 7 days. <P> To breed hedgehogs, obviously, the minimum you need is a male and a female, but there are many other points to consider. Breeding of ill tempered hedgehogs is not a good idea, breeding of related hedgehogs can also be a bad idea. Choose the hedgehogs to be bred with some care. Probably most notable is that mother hedgehogs will tend to eat the babies if disturbed at all for a few days prior to, and for up to about 10 days after the birth. This can be heartbreaking and very frustrating to would be breeders. By our (human) standards, this sort of thing is unthinkable, and very hard to accept. <P> Next time she has a litter she will be familiar with how to care for her babies and be able to do it on her own. If the babies must be removed then you have quite a handful for the next few weeks. One thing I learned is that hedgehogs only require 5 to 10% of their body weight in food each 24 hour period. Probably most notable is that mother hedgehogs will tend to eat the babies if disturbed at all for a few days prior to, and for up to about 10 days after the birth. This can be heartbreaking and very frustrating to would be breeders. By our (human) standards, this sort of thing is unthinkable, and very hard to accept. <P> Female hedgehogs should be a minimum of 6 months old before breeding. Breeding after the 6 month mark can also have adverse reactions such as a greater instance of cannibalized litters and rejected hoglets, and/or birthing complications. It s advisable you breed two females at the same time. <P> Hedgehog gestation is normally around 35 days. However, live babies can be delivered as early as 29 days, or as late as 59 days from the last breeding opportunity. That depends on the female. Typically, it is suggested to retire breeding females at around 2 1/2 years of age. Sometimes, they will retire themselves at a younger age, by failing to concieve or by refusing to raise babies. <P> Once again, health is an important consideration. Males can usually breed throughout their life span (we have a five year old who has sired litters) if they are healthy. Be sure the male is not related to the female. Inbreeding hedgehogs can lead to physical anomalies, health problems, and poor temperament, and should NOT be done. Breeding and Development Articles and pictures about hedgehog breeding, growth, and development. Advanced Care Issues Articles for people who already own a hedgehog or want to know more than just the basics. <P> They love their exercise wheels for this reason! Male Pygmy hedgehogs are mature at five months old when they can start breeding. The gestation period is quite long for such tiny little creatures and can be anything from 32 to 50 days. Females usually give birth to three or four babies in any one litter. | Around 35 days. |
why was the U.S. government attached to the boarding school policy | <P> After Carlisle opened, boarding schools became a part of official U.S. Government Indian policy. Attendance was mandatory. Most of the schools were run by church organizations, but they all followed the same mind-control model set forth by Pratt. Many non-Indians either aren’t aware of this shameful piece of American History or know very little about it. In order to undo the boarding school legacy, it is important for every teacher with American Indian students in the classroom to have an awareness of past events and their continuing impact. <P> American Indian boarding schools were boarding schools established in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to educate Native American children and youths according to Euro-American standards. As a result, many large Indian boarding schools closed in the 1980s and early 1990s. By 2007, 9,500 American Indian children were living in Indian boarding school dormitories. This figure includes those in 45 on-reservation boarding schools, seven off-reservation boarding schools, and 14 periphera <P> By the 1880s, the U.S. operated 60 schools for 6,200 Indian students, including reservation day schools and reservation boarding schools. The reservation day school had the advantage of being relatively inexpensive and caused the least opposition from parents. Some Native American parents saw boarding school education for what it was intended to be — the total destruction of Indian culture. Others objected to specific aspects of the education system, the manner of discipline and the drilling. <P> In order to spread a unified national vision, the U.S. federal government recognized a need for assimilation of diverse people; specifically, assimilation of the Native Americans. From 1810 until 1917 the U.S. federal government subsidized the creation of and education within mission and boarding schools. As a result, many large Indian boarding schools closed in the 1980s and early 1990s. By 2007, 9,500 American Indian children were living in Indian boarding school dormitories. This figure includes those in 45 on-reservation boarding schools, seven off-reservation boarding schools, and 14 periphera <P> Boarding School History. Off-reservation boarding schools for American Indian children began on November 1, 1878 when Captain Richard H. Pratt opened the Carlisle Indian School at an abandoned military post in Pennsylvania. Pratt was an Army Captain, not an educator. Many non-Indians either aren’t aware of this shameful piece of American History or know very little about it. In order to undo the boarding school legacy, it is important for every teacher with American Indian students in the classroom to have an awareness of past events and their continuing impact. <P> For Col. Richard Henry Pratt, the goal was complete assimilation. In 1879, he established the most well known of the off-reservation boarding schools, the Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. As Headmaster of the school for 25 years, he was the single most impacting figure in Indian education during his time. Some Native American parents saw boarding school education for what it was intended to be — the total destruction of Indian culture. Others objected to specific aspects of the education system, the manner of discipline and the drilling. <P> The Reservation Boarding School System was a war in disguise. It was a war between the United States government and the children of the First People of this land. Its intention was that of any war, elimination of the enemy. The third and final plan to be adopted was the off-reservation boarding school. This was finally to be the way to rid Native children of their language and culture. The children were sent, in many cases, hundreds of miles away from family, language and Native ways. <P> The government paid religious societies to provide education to Native American children on reservations. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) founded additional boarding schools based on the assimilation model of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. As a result, many large Indian boarding schools closed in the 1980s and early 1990s. By 2007, 9,500 American Indian children were living in Indian boarding school dormitories. This figure includes those in 45 on-reservation boarding schools, seven off-reservation boarding schools, and 14 periphera <P> The boarding school experience for Indian children began in 1860 when the Bureau of Indian Affairs established the first Indian boarding school on the Yakima Indian Reservation in the state of Washington. Some Native American parents saw boarding school education for what it was intended to be — the total destruction of Indian culture. Others objected to specific aspects of the education system, the manner of discipline and the drilling. | It was a war between the United States government and the children of the First People of this land.This was finally to be the way to rid Native children of their language and culture.

how much sleep should a child get | <P> School-aged children need between 10 and 11 hours of sleep per night. Not getting enough sleep is common in this age group, given increasing school obligations (e.g. homework), evening activities, and later bedtimes. <P> Age Hours Of Sleep 0 - 2 months 10.5 - 18 2 - 12 months 14 - 15 1 - 3 years 12 - 14 3 - 5 years 11 - 13 5 - 12 years 10 - 11. The #1 tip for good sleeping habits in children is to follow a nightly routine. <P> 1-3 Years Old: 12 - 14 hours per day. As your child moves past the first year toward 18-21 months of age he will likely lose his morning and early evening nap and nap only once a day. While toddlers need up to 14 hours a day of sleep, they typically get only about 10. <P> Children who nap well are usually less cranky and sleep better at night. Although children differ, after six months of age, naps of 1/2 to two hours duration are expected and are generally discontinued between ages 2-5 years. <P> Most children from about 21 to 36 months of age still need one nap a day, which may range from one to three and a half hours long. They typically go to bed between 7 and 9 p.m. and wake up between 6 and 8 a.m. 3-6 Years Old: 10 - 12 hours per day. <P> The amount of sleep a child needs varies depending on the individual and certain factors, including the age of the child. Following are some general guidelines: 1-4 Weeks Old: 15 - 16 hours per day. <P> Sleep and Toddlers (1-2 years). Toddlers need about 11-14 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. When they reach about 18 months of age their naptimes will decrease to once a day lasting about one to three hours. Naps should not occur too close to bedtime as they may delay sleep at night. <P> 4-12 Months Old: 14 - 15 hours per day. While up to 15 hours is ideal, most infants up to 11 months old get only about 12 hours of sleep. Establishing healthy sleep habits is a primary goal during this period, as your baby is now much more social, and his sleep patterns are more adult-like. | 14 hours a day of sleep |

what organs are used in the respiratory system | <P> Elements of the respiratory system include the nose, the mouth, the pharynx, the larynx, the trachea, the bronchi, the lungs, and the muscles used to breathe in and out. Although many people associate the nose with the sense of smell, it can actually also be considered one of the organs of the respiratory system. <P> Advertisement. The main function of respiratory system is to allow gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) with different parts of the body. The different organs of the respiratory system are nose, pharynx, epiglottis, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. These organs carry out the process of respiration. <P> The primary function of the respiratory system is to allow the lungs to take in atmospheric oxygen through inhalation and dispose of the waste products the body does not need through exhalation. Inhalation is an active motion that causes the diaphragm to contract. <P> Respiratory System. Several organs of the respiratory system are responsible for the process of breathing. The nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs work together to allow gas exchange to occur at the cellular level. <P> Functions of Organs in Respiratory System. Respiration begins when oxygen enters into the body through the nose and the mouth. The oxygen then travels through the trachea and pharynx where the trachea divides into two bronchi. <P> The different organs of the respiratory system such as nose, larynx, trachea, bronchi, etc. carry out the process of respiration/breathing.

The Yale University admissions website, as an example, states, Yale does not have any specific entrance requirements (for example, there is no foreign language requirement for admission to Yale). <P> To view the state course and credit requirements, look below for the section that matches when a student entered ninth grade for the first time. School counselors are available to answer any questions you may have about what is needed to reach the goal of high school graduation. <P> The State Board of Education adopted changes to the high school graduation requirements in January 2014. The new requirements are effective beginning with students who enter grade 9 in the 2014-15 school year. For students entering 9th grade beginning 2014-15 the new foundation curriculum plan with at least one endorsement will be required for admission consideration. <P> Courses without degree credit. Courses MATH:0100 Basic Algebra I and MATH:0300 Basic Geometry carry no degree credit. Students who take these courses, or courses equivalent to them at another college or university, may not count semester hours from these courses toward the 120 semester hours required for graduation. <P> Credit Hour Requirements & Policies. To earn a degree from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, you must earn a minimum of 120 semester hours (s.h.) of credit towards graduation. You may find that you need to earn more than the minimum 120 semester hours if you. <P> Notes on CADR and Admission Standards CADR reflect the minimum number of credits required in six subject areas that students must earn to be eligible for routine admission consideration by four-year public baccalaureate institutions. <P> Math Requirements. Math is another subject that is absolutely needed to get into a 4-year college. Similar to English, college admission boards want to see at least 4 years of math; however, having only 3 years may not necessarily disqualify you for admission. <P> A minimum of two credits of laboratory science is required. At least one of the two credits must be in biology, chemistry, or physics. Students typically take this full credit course in two successive high school semesters. | Minimum of 120 semester hours (s.h.). |
what is an organic ligand | <P> A ligand is an ion or molecule which exists independently of any complex that it might form. In the complex [Co(NH 3) 6 ] 3+ , the ammonia molecules, which can exist outside of the complex, are acting as ligands. The complex is a combination of a Lewis acid (the central metal atom/ion) and some Lewis bases (the ligands). The main way of classifying ligands is by the number of points at which they are attached to, or bound to, the metal center. This is the denticity. <P> In coordination chemistry, a ligand (/lɪɡənd/) is an ion or molecule (functional group) that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex. The bonding between metal and ligand generally involves formal donation of one or more of the ligand's electron pairs. EDTA 4− , when it is hexidentate, binds as a κ 6 -ligand, the amines and the carboxylate oxygen atoms are not contiguous. In practice, the n value of a ligand is not indicated explicitly but rather assumed. The binding affinity of a chelating system depends on the chelating angle or bite angle. <P> Naming Coordination Compounds. A complex is a substance in which a metal atom or ion is associated with a group of neutral molecules or anions called ligands. Coordination compounds are neutral substances (i.e. uncharged) in which at least one ion is present as a complex. <P> 1. An organic molecule attached to a central metal ion by multiple coordinate bonds. 2. An organic molecule attached to a tracer element, e.g., a radioisotope. 3. A molecule that binds to a macromolecule, e.g., a ligand binding to a receptor. 4. An organic molecule attached to a tracer element, for example, a radioisotope. 3. A molecule that binds to a macromolecule, for example, a ligand binding to a receptor. 4. The analyte in competitive binding assays, such as radioimmunoassay. 5. An atom or group covalently attached to a specified carbon atom in an organic molecule <P> Organometallic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds containing at least one bond between a carbon atom of an organic compound and a metal. Organometallic chemistry combines aspects of inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry. Organometallic compounds are widely used in homogeneous catalysis. However, if any of the ligands form a direct M-C bond, then complex is usually considered to be organometallic, e.g., [(C 6 H 6)Ru(H 2 O) 3 ] 2+ . Furthermore, many lipophilic compounds such as metal acetylacetonates and metal alkoxides are called metalorganics.. <P> Many complexes feature coordination bonds between a metal and organic ligands. The organic ligands often bind the metal through a heteroatom such as oxygen or nitrogen, in which case such compounds are considered coordination compounds. However, if any of the ligands form a direct M-C bond, then complex is usually considered to be organometallic, e.g., [(C 6 H 6)Ru(H 2 O) 3 ] 2+ . Furthermore, many lipophilic compounds such as metal acetylacetonates and metal alkoxides are called metalorganics.. <P> ligand. [lig′ənd, lī′gənd]. Etymology: L, ligare, to bind. 1 a molecule, ion, or group bound to the central metal atom of a chemical compound, such as the oxygen molecule in oxyhemoglobin, which is bound to the central iron atom. 2 an organic molecule attached to a specific site on a cell surface or to a tracer element. An organic molecule attached to a tracer element, for example, a radioisotope. 3. A molecule that binds to a macromolecule, for example, a ligand binding to a receptor. 4. The analyte in competitive binding assays, such as radioimmunoassay. 5. An atom or group covalently attached to a specified carbon atom in an organic molecule <P> Ligand Definition. A ligand is an atom, ion, or molecule that donates or shares one or more of its electrons through a covalent bond with a central atom or ion. It is a complexing group in coordination chemistry that stabilizes the central atom and determines it reactivity. Ligand Examples. Monodentate ligands have one atom that can bind to a central atom or ion. Water (H 2 O) and ammonia (NH 3) are examples of neutral monodentate ligands. A polydentate ligand has more than one donor site. <P> Metal ligand multiple bonds some ligands can bond to a metal center through the same atom but with a different number of lone pairs. The bond order of the metal ligand bond can be in part distinguished through the metal ligand bond angle (M-X-R). EDTA 4− , when it is hexidentate, binds as a κ 6 -ligand, the amines and the carboxylate oxygen atoms are not contiguous. In practice, the n value of a ligand is not indicated explicitly but rather assumed.

typical credit card transaction fees | <P> 1 In 2014 the average interchange fee per covered transaction was slightly lower for transactions processed over dual-message networks (which are mostly signature-authenticated) compared to those processed over single-message networks (which are mostly PIN-authenticated): $0.23 and $0.24 respectively. 1 For transactions processed over single-message networks the average interchange fee per exempt transaction has been steadily declining since Regulation II took effect, and in 2014 was only slightly higher than that for covered transactions ($0.26 vs. $0.24). <P> Interchange fees now comprise a substantial share of the income these companies make on credit cards. In 2004, card issuers took in $28 billion in interchange. By 2008, that figure had shot up to $48 billion. These fees, known as interchange, are set by the credit card processors: Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, which together control 93% of all card transactions in the United States. Businesses that want to accept credit cards have no other choice but to pay these fees. <P> A merchant must negotiate a discount fee, most of which is an interchange transaction fee, with the acquiring financial institution in order to process debit card transactions, just as they do for credit card transactions. According to the Federal Reserve, the average interchange fee per transaction for all debit card issuers in 2009 was 43 cents. Data collected from the fourth quarter of 2011 indicated that the average interchange fee received by non-exempt issuers declines 45% from the 2009 level to 24 cents. <P> The Two Components of a Credit/Debit Card Transaction. Each time you process a credit or debit card transaction through your merchant account, you are charged an inquiry fee and a percentage of the total transaction. The inquiry fee is a flat amount, typically between 20 cents and 35 cents. The percentage charged, is typically called your credit card rate and it is variable based on the type of transaction and the type of card used. <P> Plans to cut transaction fees on debit and credit cards in the European Union have been published-but there is disagreement over the potential impact. The European Commission estimates that the EU payment market is worth 130bn euros (£112bn) but is fragmented and expensive. On average, debit card transactions cost the retailer 9p each, or about 0.2% of the bill. Credit card transactions typically cost much more, at around 0.9%. [This will] finally put an end to the unjustified high level of these fees. <P> The negotiated fee is then subtracted from each customer transaction with a credit or debit card. The “interchange transaction fee,” which is paid to the credit or debit card issuer, makes up the largest percentage of the merchant discount fee and is the focus of this report. According to the Federal Reserve, the average interchange fee per transaction for all debit card issuers in 2009 was 43 cents. Data collected from the fourth quarter of 2011 indicated that the average interchange fee received by non-exempt issuers declines 45% from the 2009 level to 24 cents. <P> Cap on fees. Shops and businesses pay different interchange rates to the banks, depending on the size of the retailer, and whether the customer has used a debit card or a credit card. On average, debit card transactions cost the retailer 9p each, or about 0.2% of the bill. Credit card transactions typically cost much more, at around 0.9%. [This will] finally put an end to the unjustified high level of these fees. <P> In a credit card or debit card transaction, the card-issuing bank in a payment transaction deducts the interchange fee from the amount it pays the acquiring bank that handles a credit or debit card transaction for a merchant. <P> Statement: $0 – $15 per month. The statement fee is charged because, at the end of each month, you will receive a statement from your processing bank that will list all the transactions that went through for that particular month. It’s very much like your credit card or telephone bills. | Typically between 20 cents and 35 cents. |
how to get more vitamin a | <P> Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water soluble antioxidant vitamin that helps control infection, neutralize free radicals, and aid in the body's absorption of iron. It also helps to make collagen, which is vital to the health of teeth, gums, bones, and blood vessels. <P> Vegetables are an important source of vitamin A by providing you with carotenoids like beta-carotene. Most orange/yellow/red vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, and pumpkin, contain vitamin A. Dark green veggies like kale, spinach, and lettuce are also wonderful sources of vitamin A. 2. Eat fruit. <P> Best food sources: Dairy products are the most calcium-dense foods, but smaller amounts can be found in legumes and dark green, leafy vegetables. How to eat enough of it: An eight-ounce glass of skim milk, one cup of yogurt, one cup of cooked spinach, and one fig will get you to your calcium goal. <P> 3. Add animal food sources to your diet. Foods of animal origin provide the retinol form of vitamin A, which is what your body transforms carotenoids (plant-based vitamin A) into once you've digested them. Retinol-rich foods include liver, eggs, and fatty fish. <P> You can also get vitamin D by taking supplements. This is a good way to get vitamin D if you can’t get enough sunlight, or if you’re worried about exposing your skin.

how long does it take to transition from relaxed to natural hair | <P> Time Frame. The amount of time it takes to grow hair relaxer out depends on how quickly your hair grows and how long you want your hair to be before you cut the relaxed hair off. According to the Mayo Clinic, hair grows about a 1/2 inch each month during its growth phase, though this varies from person to person. Considerations. Some people try natural hair relaxers as they transition from relaxed hair to their natural texture. These hair treatments do not straighten the hair, however. Often consisting of a blend of herbs, they are typically used to make hair more manageable and soften the natural curl texture. <P> Relaxing hair gives you six to eight weeks or so of beautifully straight and silky hair. However, the transition from relaxed hair into natural hair is tough-odd curly bits, split ends and endless breakage. <P> If your hair is shoulder length or longer and the majority of your hair is relaxed it could take up to a year or more before your natural hair reaches a length that you are okay with. Transitioning is the way to go if you don’t want to sacrifice your hair length and go natural all at once. You can pace yourself and go back to natural hair at a rate that you are comfortable with. Here is how the process works: #1 Stop using chemical relaxers. To begin the process give up the creamy crack completely. <P> Hair grows 1/2″ per month on average. So if you want 10 inches of natural hair before you chop off your ends, you’ll need to transition for 20 months. Also keep in mind that natural hair can shrink up to 50 to 80% of its length. So 10 inches of natural hair is not the same as 10 inches of relaxed hair. So you may choose to transition longer to get the desired hang length you want. <P> Pages: 1 2. Transitioning to natural hair does not have to be hard. If you arm yourself with the right knowledge and give 100%, you can not only succeed but actually enjoy it. So many “naturals in the making” are happy to have finally taken the plunge but there are still many who are afraid or have tried and failed. <P> In order to go from relaxed to natural hair, you have two options: Transitioning or The Big Chop. Which one you choose is entirely up to you. There is no right way or wrong way to start your journey. It doesn’t matter how you get there, its all about what makes you comfortable. 1 You have a consistent hair texture as opposed to transitioning where you have to deal with two. 2 There are no long waits to go natural; your hair is returned to its natural state as soon as your relaxed hair is chopped off. 3 With a big chop you have a fresh start no chemically processed hair and no split ends. <P> I transitioned from relaxed hair to Natural hair by wearing cornrows,microbraids,crochets,weaves. Going Natural was one of the best decisions of my life. It took me a few unsuccessful attempts but I finally did it! My last relaxer was September 2009 and I did my BC on September 13, 2010. <P> Hi I am on my 4th month of transitioning to natural i have been relaxing for the past 33 years a very long time. My last relax was November 2013, so i want to take a brake from all the heat and relaxing. People are asking me why I want to do that, my hair is pretty long about 17 to 20 inches long. I don’t want to cut so want to see how long I can go with out doing the big chop, I am excited.. which i had not relax my hair. <P> For newbies, transitioning is moving from relaxed to natural hair. Most persons who do a long stretch with relaxed hair are technically transitioning and those persons who are tired of relaxed hair and want to wear their own hair are definitely transitioning. Forget about using heat to dry your hair or to style your hair. When transitioning do not try to straighten your natural hair to look like your relaxed hair, this will create problems. Your hair won’t like it and it will break. | Six to eight weeks |

what changes did the declaration of sentiments and resolutions call for | <P> The Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions was drafted by Elizabeth Cady Stanton for the women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. Based on the American Declaration of Independence, the Sentiments demanded equality with men before the law, in education and employment. <P> The convention's Declaration of Sentiments became the single most important factor in spreading news of the women's rights movement around the country in 1848 and into the future, according to Judith Wellman, a historian of the convention. 1 Osborn, Elizabeth R. The Seneca Falls Convention: Teaching about the Rights of Women and the Heritage of the Declaration of Independence. 2 ERIC Digest. 3 Ryerson, Lisa M. Falls revisited: Reflection on the legacy of the 1848 Woman's Rights Convention.. 4 Vital Speeches of the day 65.11 (1999): 327-332. <P> The convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York, now known as the Seneca Falls Convention. The principal author of the Declaration was Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who based it on the form of the United States Declaration of Independence. She was a key organizer of the convention along with Lucretia Coffin Mott, and Martha Coffin Wright. At a time when temperance and female property rights were major issues, even many supporters of women's rights believed the Declaration's endorsement of women's suffrage would hinder the nascent women's rights movement, causing it to lose much needed public support. <P> The first signatures on the Declaration of Sentiments. onvention to discuss the Social, Civil, and Religious Condition of Woman, was called by the Women of Seneca County, N.Y., and held at the village of Seneca Falls, in the Wesleyan Chapel, on the 19th and 20th of July, 1848. The Declaration of Sentiments, offered for the acceptance of the Convention, was then read by E. C. Stanton. A proposition was made to have it re-read by paragraph, and after much consideration, some changes were suggested and adopted. <P> Under the leadership of Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a convention for the rights of women was held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. It was attended by between 200 and 300 people, both women and men. Little substantive change resulted from the Declaration in 1848, but from that time through 1920, when the goal of women’s suffrage was attained with the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, the Declaration served as a written reminder of the goals of the movement. <P> Stumble. Post. Share. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott wrote the Declaration of Sentiments for the Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention (1848) in upstate New York, deliberately modeling it on the 1776 Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Sentiments was read by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, then each paragraph was read, discussed, and sometimes slightly modified during the first day of the Convention, when only women had been invited and the few men present anyway were asked to be silent. <P> Seneca Falls Convention summary: The Seneca Falls Convention was the first women’s rights convention in the United States. It was organized by a handful of women who were active in the abolition and temperance movements and held July 19–20, 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. The Declaration of Sentiments became the blueprint for the women’s rights movement and for the suffrage movement, which soon gained national attention. Stanton, who was 32 at the time of the convention, would spend the rest of her life fighting for the right to vote. <P> The Declaration of Sentiments, also known as the Declaration of Rights and Sentiments, is a document signed in 1848 by 68 women and 32 men—100 out of some 300 attendees at the first women's rights convention to be organized by women. At a time when temperance and female property rights were major issues, even many supporters of women's rights believed the Declaration's endorsement of women's suffrage would hinder the nascent women's rights movement, causing it to lose much needed public support. <P> When Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote the Declaration of Sentiments, she used the Declaration of Independence as a framework. Freedom was still freedom, but the idea of it was used for a purpose different from that of the founding fathers. The historical context had changed, and with it, the idea of freedom. <P> On the morning of the 19th, the Convention assembled at 11 o'clock. . . .

Cell shape is generally characteristics of a given bacteria, but can vary depending on growth conditions. Bacteria generally form distinctive cell morphologies when examined by light microscopy. 1 They constitute almost 95% of the cell wall in some Gram positive bacteria and as little of the cell wall in Gram negative bacteria. 2 The cell wall of some gram positive is completely dissolved by an enzyme called lysozyme. <P> $\rightarrow$ There are 3 types of bacteria based on their shapes such as: Bacteria grow in number not in size, but they make copies of themselves by dividing into half. There are three basic shapes of bacteria: 1 Rod shaped bacteria called as bacilli. 2 Spherical shaped bacteria called as cocci. 1 Symbiotic bacteria: These bacteria have a mutual benefit from other organisms. 2 For e.g.: nitrogen fixing bacteria (or) rhizobium. 3 Parasitic bacteria: These bacteria are present in plants, animals and human beings. 4 These bacteria feeds on host cells and causes harm to the host <P> 1 The bacterial cell is delineated by a rigid cell wall. 2 The cell wall is made of lipopolysaccharides and murein 9peptidoglycan). 3 Bacteria is devoid of any nucleus, nucleolus or nuclear membrane. 4 The genetic materials are localized within a discrete region called the nucleoid. The following characteristics are common to most of the bacteria 1 –. Found everywhere, in all possible habitats. 2 These are basically unicellular but may live in association with other cells forming colonies. 3 The bacterial cell is delineated by a rigid cell wall <P> The cytoplasm and plasma membrane of most bacterial cells are surrounded by a cell wall; further classification of bacteria is based on cell wall characteristics (see Gram's stain). They can also be characterized by their patterns of growth, such as the chains formed by streptococci.

platelets - normal range | <P> A platelet count above 1,00,000 platelets per microliter (mcL) is considered normal. So your count is normal even though the range is usually 1,50,000-4,00,000. You should not have any problems in carrying the pregnancy forward. My platelets were in the 90,000 range for 20 years and started to fall further as my fibrosis got worse. My platelets have remained between 55,000 & 65,000 for many years but my INR numbers have been perfect. <P> Platelets are important elements in the blood that are important for blood coagulation (clotting and prevention of bleeding). The normal platelet count ranges between 150,000 and 450,000 per microliter (one-millionth of a liter). Although the number of platelets is decreased, their function may remain intact in most cases of thrombocytopenia. All blood cells (white cells, red cells, and platelets) are made in the bone marrow. Thrombocytopenia means a lower platelet count in the blood compared to the normal range. Thrombocytosis refers to a greater number of platelets compared to the normal range. <P> A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. Having more than 450,000 platelets is a condition called thrombocytosis; having less than 150,000 is known as thrombocytopenia. You get your platelet number from a routine blood test called a complete blood count (CBC). <P> blood. For me, male and little older, the normal range is 150-450. So at 470, or so, it's not big out of the range. I have read that that the absence of a spleen can be a possible reason for increased platelets in the blood since the spleen is a storge facility for platelets. No docs here. My platelets were in the 90,000 range for 20 years and started to fall further as my fibrosis got worse. My platelets have remained between 55,000 & 65,000 for many years but my INR numbers have been perfect. <P> A. Platelets are the tiny blood cells that help stop bleeding by binding together to form a clump or plug at sites of injury inside blood vessels. A normal platelet count is between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter (one-millionth of a liter, abbreviated mcL). The average platelet count is 237,000 per mcL in men and 266,000 per mcL in women. Platelets seem to have a large backup capacity: blood typically still clots normally as long as the platelet count is above 50,000 per mcL (assuming no other problems are present). Spontaneous bleeding doesn’t usually occur unless the platelet count falls to 10,000 or 20,000 per mcL. <P> The normal range (99% of population analyzed) for platelets in healthy Caucasians is 150,000 to 400,000 per cubic millimeter (a mm 3 equals a microliter). or 150–400 × 10 9 per liter. The normal range has been confirmed to be the same in the elderly and Spanish populations. On a stained blood smear, platelets appear as dark purple spots, about 20% the diameter of red blood cells. The smear is used to examine platelets for size, shape, qualitative number, and clumping. The ratio of platelets to red blood cells in a healthy adult is 1:10 to 1:20. <P> In many cases, the patients can also get abnormal platelet count due to certain medications. You need to take be wary to what kind of medications you are taking. The normal platelet count range is between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. A drop below normal platelets range can lead to abnormal bleeding. An increase above this normal range for platelets can lead to abnormal blood clotting. Platelets are also known as thrombocytes. A low platelet count is a condition that is known as thrombocytopenia. It happens when platelets drop to a level lower than the normal range. On the other hand, when the amount goes above platelets normal range, it is referred to a condition called thrombocytosis. <P> Normal platelet counts are in the range of 150,000 to 400,000 per microliter (or 150 - 400 x 109 per liter), but the normal rangefor the platelet count varies slightly among different laboratories. <P> Normally, a person's platelet count is 150,000 to 400,000 per μl (microlitre). But the normal platelet count range in children is between 150,000-450,000 per μl. There is a slight decrease in the platelet count in pregnancy as there is an increase in the blood produced while the number of platelets remain the same. Platelets are responsible for the coagulation of blood. So it is very important to be in the normal platelet count range. Let us find out about the normal platelet count and the adverse effects of its increased or decreased number. | 150,000 to 450,000 per microliter of blood. |

what is north of the golden gate bridge | <P> For the nearby strait, see Golden Gate. For the bridge, see Golden Gate Bridge. Golden Gate Park, located in San Francisco, California, United States, is a large urban park consisting of 1,017 acres (412 ha) of public grounds. It is administered by the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department, which began in 1871 to oversee the development of Golden Gate Park. With 13 million visitors annually, Golden Gate is the fifth most-visited city park in the United States after Central Park in New York City, Lincoln Park in Chicago, and Balboa Park and Mission Bay Park in San Diego. <P> Details. For locals, The Golden Gate Bridge (Highway 101 North) provides a vital link between San Francisco and Marin County and is possibly the prettiest morning commute in the world. For over 10 million visitors each year, walking on the bridge is the highlight of their trip to San Francisco. Named after the Golden Gate Strait that it spans; the Golden Gate Bridge marks the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. Joseph B. Strauss was Chief Engineer on the bridge. At a cost of $35 million, the 1.2-mile bridge took more than four years to build. <P> The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, to Marin County, bridging both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. The bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States. The Golden Gate Bridge is the top most used suicide site/ suicide bridge in the world, after the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge (see List of suicide sites). The deck is about 245 feet (75 m) above the water. <P> The Golden Gate is the North American strait that connects San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. It is defined by the headlands of the San Francisco Peninsula and the Marin Peninsula, and, since 1937, has been spanned by the Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when completed in 1937, and is an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and California. <P> The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay onto the Pacific Ocean. As part of both US Highway 101 and California Route 1, it connects the city of San Francisco on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County. The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when completed in 1937, and is an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and California. <P> Crossing the strait of the Golden Gate from San Francisco to the Marin headlands for 1.7 miles is the world-renowned Golden Gate Bridge, easily identified by its International Orange color. Opened in 1937, the bridge was built at a cost of $35 million in principal and $39 million in interest and 11 workers’ lives. Golden Gate Bridge. Once called the bridge that couldn't be built, today it is one the seven wonders of the modern world. This magnificent span, perhaps San Francisco's most famous landmark, opened in 1937 after a four-year struggle against relentless winds, fog, rock and treacherous tides. <P> 1 Walking is the best ways to experience the immensity of the Bridge. 2 It is 1.7 miles long and it takes approximately 45–60 minutes to walk across. 3 The sidewalk is open to visitors seven days a week during the hours between sunrise and sunset. 4 The Bridge is open to autos and cyclists 24 hours a day.

how did the united states gain freedom | <P> Although Spain joined the war against Great Britain in 1779, it did not recognize U.S. independence until the 1783 Treaty of Paris. Under the terms of the treaty, which ended the War of the American Revolution, Great Britain officially acknowledged the United States as a sovereign and independent nation. By issuing the Declaration of Independence, adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, the 13 American colonies severed their political connections to Great Britain. <P> Publisher. A+E Networks. On this day in 1776, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Continental Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims the independence of a new United States of America from Great Britain and its king. On July 4, 1917, the day on which the United States celebrates its independence, U.S. troops make their first public display of World War I, marching through the streets of Paris to the grave of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat and hero of the American Revolutionary War. <P> When did the US gain its freedom? In 1783, the Treaty of Paris ended the war and recognized the sovereignty of the United States over the territory bounded by what is now Canada to the north, Florida to the so … uth, and the Mississippi River to the west. Dred Scott was the famous slave who sued to gain his freedom and was denied by the US Supreme Court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857). <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Slaves before the Civil War gained their freedom in one of three ways. The most obvious, and most dangerous, was to simply run away. The Underground Railroad assisted them to escape to the northern states, and eventually all the way to Canada. Other slaves managed the journey on their own. <P> After Spain's defeat by U.S. and Cuban forces during the War of 1898, Spain relinquished sovereignty over Cuba. Following the war, U.S. forces occupied Cuba until 1902, when the United States allowed a new Cuban government to take full control of the state’s affairs. As a condition of independence, the United States forced Cuba to grant a continuing U.S. right to intervene on the island in accordance with the Platt Amendment. The amendment was repealed in 1934 when the United States and Cuba signed a Treaty of Relations. U.S. Recognition of Cuban Independence, 1902. Following the defeat of Spain in 1898, the United States remained in Cuba as an occupying power until the Republic of Cuba was formally installed on May 19, 1902. <P> July 4 was intentionally chosen by the United States because it corresponds to its Independence Day, and this day was observed in the Philippines as Independence Day until 1962. In 1964, the name of the July 4 holiday was changed to Republic Day. Adams's prediction was off by two days. From the outset, Americans celebrated independence on July 4, the date shown on the much-publicized Declaration of Independence, rather than on July 2, the date the resolution of independence was approved in a closed session of Congress. <P> The original 13 colonies gained their independence from Great Britain. Later other states such as California, Texas, Florida, New Mexico gained their independence from Spain. Alaska was bought from Russia. <P> Best Answer: Yes, we DECLARED independence July 4th, but that is not the answer. The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776, but the United States was not 'officially' independent from Great Britain until the Treaty of Paris was signed September 3, 1783 after the American Revolution. <P> July 4, 1776 Declaration of Independence is signed.

what is enzyme replacement therapy | <P> Enzyme Replacement Therapy has very effectively treated Gaucher Type I for the past 20+ years. ERT is also available for Fabry, certain types of Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) and Pompe. ERT for Niemann-Pick Types A & B is in clinical trials. <P> Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is a medical treatment replacing an enzyme in patients in whom that particular enzyme is deficient or absent. Usually this is done by giving the patient an intravenous (IV) infusion containing the enzyme. Enzyme replacement therapy is currently available for some lysosomal diseases: Gaucher disease, Fabry disease, MPS I, MPS II (Hunter syndrome), MPS VI and Glycogen storage disease type II. <P> Abstract. The lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of disorders heralding in a new era in the treatment of genetic diseases. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) moves the treatment of these disorders from symptomatic management to therapeutic interventions. ERT is not a cure for these disorders, but it can greatly modify or attenuate the phenotype. Treatment for LSDs is lifelong and the diseases affect multiple organ systems. <P> Ad. Enzyme replacement therapy usually introduces approximately the same enzyme that is lacking in the body from the outside. For example, Gaucher's disease is caused by a deficiency of glucocerebrosidase, an enzyme which plays an important role in the body's metabolism. A second type of enzyme replacement therapy introduces enzymes that have become deficient for some other reason. Cystic fibrosis is caused by the body's failure to produce a particular protein that is crucial to the function of cell membranes. <P> NINDS scientists are working to determine the effects of enzyme replacement therapy in Gaucher's patients with neurological complications. Ceredase is manufactured by the Genzyme Corporation of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was approved by the FDA in early April for treatment of Type I Gaucher's disease. <P> Enzyme replacement therapy is used as a treatment for Gaucher's disease, Fabry disease, Glycogen storage disease type II, cystic fibrosis and others. Usually, fresh enzymes must be injected regularly for the therapy to work. A second type of enzyme replacement therapy introduces enzymes that have become deficient for some other reason. Cystic fibrosis is caused by the body's failure to produce a particular protein that is crucial to the function of cell membranes. <P> Enzyme replacement therapy does not affect the underlying genetic defect, but increases the concentration of enzyme in which the patient is deficient. ERT implies life-long treatments with regular and frequent infusions of enzyme (for example once or twice a month throughout the patient’s life). Answer. Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) is a medical treatment replacing an enzyme in patients in whom that particular enzyme is deficient or absent. The replacement enzyme is referred to as a “recombinant” enzyme, produced through gene engineering <P> Enzyme replacement therapy is a relatively new type of treatment. As more is discovered about the genome and about the cellular function of proteins, new forms of enzyme replacement therapy are likely to emerge. A second type of enzyme replacement therapy introduces enzymes that have become deficient for some other reason. Cystic fibrosis is caused by the body's failure to produce a particular protein that is crucial to the function of cell membranes. <P> Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Genes code for proteins, and some proteins are enzymes responsible for chemical reactions in the body. So, when a gene for an enzyme is mutated and does not produce the gene product, an enzyme is missing or defective. | Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is a medical treatment replacing an enzyme in patients in whom that particular enzyme is deficient or absent. |
how old before a boar can breed | <P> A yearling (or older) boar can service 50 sows in stalls or 35 to 40 pasturing females. The gestation period for your pregnant sow will be approximately 113 days, or as the old saying goes, three months, three weeks, and three days. But there are some important preparations to be made before that magic moment of birth arrives. All in all, though, breeding your own pigs can take you one step closer to true self-sufficiency, provide you with the opportunity to start a worthwhile homestead critter-raising business, and give you a heck of a lot of satisfaction. <P> *Boys should be at least 4 months old and girls should be at least 2, but they have to be under 6 to start. 2) How old will a guinea pig be when it is to old to breed? ** If they have been breeding since they reached the minimum age then they can do it forever! If not, then they cannot be over 6 months. A sow should weigh a minimum of 400gm, equivalent to about three months of age, before being mated and should preferably be a little older than this.. Male guinea pigs should be about three to four months of age before being allowed to mate. 2)How old will a guinea pig be when it is to old to breed? Breeding after 8 months of age can be fatal for a guinea pig who has not had a previous litter due to dystocia. Basically you want to breed all Guinea Pigs between 4-8months of age then retire them. 3)Can the male a female be exactly the same age? <P> In a purebred herd, use the same sire for the second breeding. Sows can be bred in the post weaning heat if pigs are weaned at 2 weeks of age or older and the sow is not in too thin a condition. Boars should be approximately seven to eight months old before being used in a breeding herd. The boar is considered to be mature at 15 months of age or older. The suggested maximum number of services per boar are listed in Table 1 <P> - have eaten less feed than average to reach a specific weight. 1 A good boar will reach 90 kg live weight before it is 140 days old, have a P2-backfat measurement of 15 mm or less, and require only 2,99 kg of feed or less to gain 1 kg in weight to grow from 30 to 90 kg live weight. 1 Boars usually have a maximum working life of between 18 and 24 months. 2 This means they should be replaced when they are 30 to 36 months old. 3 It is very important to keep record of the boars' use so that infertile ones can be detected and replaced as soon as possible. 4 A low sex drive (libido) can also be a problem. <P> RE: How old does a farm pig need to be to breed? I have a duroc cross sow that is around 5 months old and about 100 lbs. When will she be old enough to breed? Does she have to weigh a certain amount before I breed her? <P> 1 A good boar will reach 90 kg live weight before it is 140 days old, have a P2-backfat measurement of 15 mm or less, and require only 2,99 kg of feed or less to gain 1 kg in weight to grow from 30 to 90 kg live weight. 2 Buy boars at least four or five weeks before they are used for the first time. 1 Boars usually have a maximum working life of between 18 and 24 months. 2 This means they should be replaced when they are 30 to 36 months old. 3 It is very important to keep record of the boars' use so that infertile ones can be detected and replaced as soon as possible. 4 A low sex drive (libido) can also be a problem. <P> You can either browse through the yellow pages for names of pig breeders or visit and get referrals from well-known stores that sell pigs and pig feeds. 3. When breeding pigs, select sows that are at least 9 to 10 months old as this is the ideal age for breeding. For the boars, you can either buy them when they're at least 8 months old if you have a small number of sows then breed them with a larger number as they grow older. This is because breeding pigs doesn't take up to much time and pigs are capable of producing large litters. They have a short gestation period and it normally would only require a few boars or male pigs to mate with many sows or female pigs. <P> (Both young and old sows should receive a second mating 24 hours after their first.) As for the male partners in a porcine union, an 8- to 12-month-old boar can usually service 12 females in pasture or be handmated (matched individually in a barn) with 24 gilts or sows. All in all, though, breeding your own pigs can take you one step closer to true self-sufficiency, provide you with the opportunity to start a worthwhile homestead critter-raising business, and give you a heck of a lot of satisfaction. <P> Here is a sounder of sows and pigs on our preserve. Wild hogs will breed year round, but births peak in spring and fall. Gestation is 114 days, and a sow will give birth to anywhere from 1 to a dozen piglets. She can have 2 litters a year. The sow is a superb protectoress of her young. | 2 weeks |

how does polio affect someone | <P> Two types of vaccine protect against polio: oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) and inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) (given as an injection in the leg or arm, depending on the patient's age). Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a crippling and potentially deadly infectious disease. It is caused by the poliovirus. The virus spreads from person to person and can invade an infected person’s brain and spinal cord, causing paralysis (can’t move parts of the body). <P> 1 This form of polio does not affect the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). 2 Non-paralytic: This form, which does affect the central nervous system, produces only mild symptoms and does not result in paralysis. Post-polio syndrome is a complication that can occur after a person has caught and recovered from poliovirus. Symptoms of the syndrome can appear up to 35 years after the polio infection. <P> Polio affects the body by attacking your central nervous system. It infects the spinal cord, brain and surrounding tissues. Your symptoms vary depending on which area of the spinal cord and brain it attacks. If you are affected by a lesser strain of poliovirus, you may experience minor symptoms that mirror the flu. <P> PPS is a condition that affects polio survivors ten to 40 years after recovery from an initial infection. PPS is characterized by further weakening of muscles that were previously affected by the polio infection. Symptoms include fatigue, slowly progressive muscle weakness and deterioration. The polio virus enters the body through the mouth, usually from hands contaminated with the stool of an infected person. Polio is more common in infants and young children and occurs under conditions of poor hygiene. Paralysis is more common and more severe when infection occurs in older individuals. <P> Poliomyelitis, often called polio or infantile paralysis, is an infectious disease caused by the poliovirus. Approximately 90% to 95% of infections cause no symptoms. Poliomyelitis has existed for thousands of years, with depictions of the disease in ancient art. The disease was first recognized as a distinct condition by Michael Underwood in 1789 and the virus that causes it was first identified in 1908 by Karl Landsteiner. <P> Spinal polio is the most common form. It affects movement of the muscles and causes inflammation of the nerve Cells, leading to damage or destruction of motor neuron ganglia. When spinal neurons die, Wallerian degeneration takes place, leading to weakness of those muscles. <P> A. Polio: The Disease. P oliomyelitis (polio) is a viral illness that begins suddenly with flu-like symptoms of fever, headache, vomiting and/or diarrhea, muscle aching and feeling poorly.. The virus enters the body through the stomach and intestines. <P> Best Answer: How polio affects the body depends on the type of polio and what area it attacks. Nonparalytic polio is a type that doesn't lead to paralysis (abortive poliomyelitis). This usually causes the same mild, flu-like signs and symptoms — sore throat, fever, nausea, vomiting, and constipation or diarrhea — typical of other viral illnesses. Most people recover from abortive polio in less than a week. Another type of polio is bulbar polio. This is a severe type of polio and the virus affects the motor neurons in your brainstem, where the centers of the cranial nerves are located. These nerves are involved in your ability to see, hear, smell, taste and swallow <P> Polio is a viral disease which may affect the spinal cord causing muscle weakness and paralysis.

where are footballs made | <P> The first games of Australian football were played with a round ball, because balls of that shape were more readily available. In 1860, Australian football pioneer Tom Wills argued that the oval rugby ball travelled further in the air and made for a more exciting game. Traditionally made of brown leather, modern footballs are manufactured in a variety of colors and patterns. A regulation football is 28–30 cm (11–12 in) long and 58–62 cm (23–24 in) in circumference at its widest point. It weighs 410–460 g (14–16 oz) and is inflated to 65.7–68.8 kPa (9.5–10.0 psi). <P> Since 1955, the official NFL footballs have been made at the Wilson factory in Ada, Ohio. Each football is handmade from cowhide sourced from Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. Football fans often perpetuate the idea that footballs used to be made of pigskin, which is how they got their nickname, but it turns out this isn't the case. In fact, pigskins were originally made out of animal bladders—sometimes the bladder of a pig, which is thought to be how the moniker pigskin came about. <P> How NFL footballs are made JAN 03 2011. The manufacturing process for the official NFL football made by Wilson: It's fascinating that every football used in the NFL for the past 20-30 years has been made by Deb, Loretta, Peg, Glen, Emmitt, Tina, Etta Mae, Pam, and Michelle. Also, they call the pre-laced, pre-inflated ball a carcass! (thx, peter). <P> But nope! The NFL’s official footballs are made of premium cowhide leather. According to the NCAA, college teams also use leather footballs, but they’re a little bit smaller than NFL balls. Younger kids (six to eight years old) use smaller footballs made of rubber. That makes it easier for little hands to grip the ball. <P> Many companies throughout the world produce footballs. The earliest balls were made by local suppliers where the game was played. It is estimated that 40% of all footballs are made in Sialkot, Pakistan, with other major producers being China and India. In 1863, the first specifications for footballs were laid down by the Football Association. Previous to this, footballs were made out of inflated leather, with later leather coverings to help footballs maintain their shapes. <P> Here is an inside look into Wilson's Ada, Ohio, football factory where all of the official NFL game balls are made.

Footballs have been made out of a variety of materials over the years, including bladders, hides, rubber, paint, leather and string. According to Timothy Gay in Football Physics: The Science of the Game, the shape of the ball is a prolate spheroid. The first footballs to be thrown in the 1860s were not thrown in a tight spiral. They were tossed with two hands because they were round. In the days before vulcanized rubber became a commonly produced and purchased material, footballs were made out of pig's bladders. <P> The oldest football still in existence, which is thought to have been made circa 1550, was discovered in the roof of Stirling Castle, Scotland, in 1981. The ball is made of leather (possibly from a deer) and a pig's bladder. Traditionally made of brown leather, modern footballs are manufactured in a variety of colors and patterns.

what is puk code | <P> PUK stands for 'PIN Unlock Key'. It's a unique code that is linked to your specific SIM card and is usually 8 digits long. Some phones may ask for a PUC code instead. This stands for 'PIN Unlock Code' and is exactly the same thing as a PUK Code. By calling your network provider. The PUK code is unique to your SIM card, so you can only get this from your mobile network. Sometimes they will give you this when you first get the SIM card, but not all networks do this. <P> Enter your PUK code into your mobile. If you incorrectly enter your PUK code 10 times, your SIM card will be automatically wiped and will need to be replaced. 1 Enter the PUK code into your mobile device. 2 Enter a new PIN into your device. 3 Verify your new PIN. A PUK or 'Personal Unlocking Key' is a security feature on most mobile devices that protects your SIM card data. A PUK code is required when a SIM Card PIN code has been entered incorrectly. <P> When you insert the SIM card into another phone, the phone prompts you for the code.

One culturally prevalent answer to the why question is that terrorists are “driven” or “pushed” to do it, and that the decisive driving or pushing agent is pathology. This answer has evolved in recent years in line with advances in knowledge and moral sensibilities. Because these questions are about the circumstances of terrorism, and not the interior world of terrorists, they are not only more intellectually tractable for scholars, but also more directly relevant to efforts to prevent or stop terrorist recruitment. <P> In Syria, ISIS has grown in part because it is seen as a better alternative to the many brigand-like groups operating in towns under the misnomer umbrella term of the Free Syrian Army, Amos and Feldman said. “What ISIS offered was order, and people were craving order in Syria.

what are disadvantages of hydropower | <P> Hydro comes from the Greek word for water. Hydro-electricity, or hydro-power, is usually generated by turbines in a dam in a river. The dam means that a great body of water builds up in the river valley behind the dam. This is released through the turbines when electricity is needed. <P> Benefits of Hydropower. Water power offers a number of advantages to the communities that they serve. Below are just some of the benefits that hydropower has over other methods of providing energy. 1 Because hydropower plants can generate power to the grid immediately, they provide essential back-up power during major electricity outages or disruptions. 2 In addition to a sustainable fuel source, hydropower efforts produce a number of benefits, such as flood control, irrigation, and water supply. <P> Disadvantages of hydroelectric power. There are many disadvantages of hydroelectric power due to which it is not used on a very large scale all around the globe. Before employing something on an industrial level, you should consider pros and cons of hydropower. So the disadvantages are: The reservoir of water for hydroelectric power releases a large amount of carbon dioxide and methane. The area around the dam is filled with water. The plants and trees in them start rotting and decompose by other method without the use of oxygen. <P> 1 The energy generated through hydropower relies on the water cycle, which is driven by the sun, making it a renewable power source, making it a more reliable and affordable source than fossil fuels that are rapidly being depleted. 1 Because hydropower plants can generate power to the grid immediately, they provide essential back-up power during major electricity outages or disruptions. 2 In addition to a sustainable fuel source, hydropower efforts produce a number of benefits, such as flood control, irrigation, and water supply. <P> Hydropower – Advantages and Disadvantages of Hydropower. Hydropower is the energy generated by the water power, using gravity and buoyancy waterfall. It is the most used form of renewable energy. Once built, a hydropower plant, it produces energy without emitting greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuels. In 2006, total production of hydropower, TW 2998 was approximately 20% of global consumption. This represented 88% of energy from renewable sources. 1 The main advantage of hydropower is that the production costs are eliminated; 2 Hydropower plants have a higher economic lifetime; 3 The maintenance cost of such sources of “green energy” is very small, since the equipment is automated and does not require a large staff during power generation; <P> Hydro Power. Hydropower has now become the best source of electricity on earth. It is produced due to the energy provided by moving or falling water. History proves that the cost of this electricity remains constant over the year. <P> Advantages Hydropower is a fueled by water, so it's a clean fuel source. Hydropower doesn't pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas. Hydropower is a domestic source of energy, produced in the United States. Hydropower relies on the water cycle, which is driven by the sun, thus it's a renewable power source. Hydropower is generally available as needed; engineers can control the flow of water through the turbines to produce electricity on demand. Hydropower plants provide benefits in addition to clean electricity <P> Hydropower advantages and disadvantages. Ned Haluzan. Hydropower is also sometimes called water power, and is basically a power that is coming from the force or energy of moving water. Hydropower offers some advantages over some other energy sources but there are also some disadvantages that should also be mentioned.

what is the function of the mucous membrane that lines the nasal cavity | <P> Know your nose The nasal cavity is divided into two passages by the nasal septum. The nasal septum is composed of both bone and cartilage and extends from the nostrils to the back of the throat. Bones called nasal conchae project into the lateral walls of the nasal cavity, forming a series of folds called turbinates. There are three turbinates on each side of the nasal cavity and are lined by a thick mucous membrane. Turbinates greatly increase the surface area of the nasal cavity. During inhalation air is directed over and under the turbinates. Lining the nasal cavity is a mucous membrane rich with blood vessels. As air passes over the nasal mucosa it is prepared and conditioned to safely pass deeper into the respiratory system and ultimately end up in the lungs. The heat radiated from the blood vessels warms the air to near body temperature <P> The nasal cavity (or nasal fossa) is a large air filled space above and behind the nose in the middle of the face. Each cavity is the continuation of one of the two nostrils. <P> When you inhale, air is drawn into the nasal cavity, which warms, moistens and filters the incoming air. The nasal cavity includes mucus, immunologic tissue in the form of the … adenoids to combat allergens, and a pathway to excrete mucus during times of infection/illness. In addition, neuroreceptors for the sense of smell are located in the nasal cavity. + 73 others found this useful. Mark Laminack <P> Introduction. The nasal cavity refers to the interior of the nose, or the structure which opens exteriorly at the nostrils. It is the entry point for inspired air and the first of a series of structures which form the respiratory system. Anatomy of the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity extends from the external opening, the nostrils, to the pharynx (the upper section of the throat), where it joins the remainder of the respiratory system. It is separated down the middle by the nasal septum, a piece of cartilage which shapes and separates <P> Like the nasal cavity, the sinuses are lined with a mucous membrane composed of cells that produce mucus and have cilia. Incoming dirt particles are trapped by the mucus, and then moved by the cilia into the nasal cavity, through small sinus openings. There are three turbinates on each side of the nasal cavity and are lined by a thick mucous membrane. Turbinates greatly increase the surface area of the nasal cavity. During inhalation air is directed over and under the turbinates. Lining the nasal cavity is a mucous membrane rich with blood vessels. As air passes over the nasal mucosa it is prepared and conditioned to safely pass deeper into the respiratory system and ultimately end up in the lungs. The heat radiated from the blood vessels warms the air to near body temperature <P> From the nasal cavity its continuity with the conjunctiva may be traced, through the nasolacrimal and lacrimal ducts; and with the frontal, ethmoidal, sphenoidal, and maxillary sinuses, through the several openings in the meatuses. The mucous membrane is thickest, and most vascular, over the nasal conchae. It is also thick over the septum; but it is very thin in the meatuses on the floor of the nasal cavities, and in the various sinuses. It is one of the most commonly infected tissues in adults and children. Structure of the Mucous Membrane (Fig. 857).—The epithelium covering the mucous membrane differs in its character according to the functions of the part of the nose in which it is found. In the respiratory region it is columnar and ciliated <P> Most of the nasal and paranasal sinus cavities contain repiratory epithelium, that is pseudo-stratified columnar ciliated epithelium with many goblet cells (mucus producing). This respiratory epithelium continues down the whole respiratory tract. Respiratory mucous membrane, lines the lower part of the cavity. Its function is to warm, moisten and clean inspired air: 1 The warming is accomplished with the presence of a plexus (collection) of veins in the submucous connective tissue (which is why you bleed so much when you get a nose bleed). <P> The nasal mucous membrane lines the nasal cavities, and is intimately adherent to the periosteum or perichondrium. It is continuous with the skin through the nares, and with the mucous membrane of the nasal part of the pharynx through the choanae.

what is coaxial cable used for | <P> Coaxial cable. A Coaxial cable is a cable used in the transmission of video, communications, and audio. This cable has high bandwidths and greater transmission capacity. Most users relate to a coaxial or coax cable as a cable used to connect their TVs to a cable TV service. However, these cables are also used in networks and what allow a broadband cable Internet connection using a cable modem. The picture is an example of a c <P> The most commonly recognized variety of RG-6 is cable television (CATV) distribution coax, used to route cable television signals to and within homes, and RG-6 type cables have become the standard for CATV, mostly replacing the smaller RG-59, in recent years. In practice, the term RG-6 is generally used to refer to coaxial cables with an 18 AWG center conductor and 75 ohm characteristic impedance. <P> Today RG6 is the more commonly used RG-type. RG6 is used in a variety of applications, both residential and commercial. RG6 is typically a double shielded coaxial cable about 6.86mm in diameter with a center conductor a bit larger than that of the RG59 type. 1 Dual/Siamese: Dual and/or Siamese coaxial cable have two cables bound together at the jacket. 2 This type of cable can come in different variations. 3 One variation is two RG6 type cables bound together by the jacket. 4 It is commonly referred to as dual RG6 and is typically used for satellite TV installations. <P> The outer channel serves as a ground. Many of these cables or pairs of coaxial tubes can be placed in a single outer sheathing and, with repeaters, can carry information for a great distance. Coaxial cable is sometimes used by telephone companies from their central office to the telephone poles near users. It is also widely installed for use in business and corporation Ethernet and other types of local area network. <P> Coaxial Cable. The coaxial cable is a copper-based wire cable. It is composed of four separate layers. The center of the cable has a thin wire conductor. Surrounding the copper wire is a layer of plastic insulation. On top of this layer is a wire mesh providing another layer of insulation and a shield from outside interference. The coaxial cable is a popular wire used for audio and visual purposes, especially televisions and VCRs. <P> Coaxial cable conducts electrical signal using an inner conductor (usually a solid copper, stranded copper or copper plated steel wire) surrounded by an insulating layer and all enclosed by a shield, typically one to four layers of woven metallic braid and metallic tape. For high-power radio-frequency transmission up to about 1 GHz, coaxial cable with a solid copper outer conductor is available in sizes of 0.25 inch upward. The outer conductor is rippled like a bellows to permit flexibility and the inner conductor is held in position by a plastic spiral to approximate an air dielectric. <P> Coaxial cable, or coax (pronounced /ˈkoʊ.aeks/), æks is a type of cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating, layer surrounded by a tubular conducting. Shield many coaxial cables also have an insulating outer sheath or. jacket For high-power radio-frequency transmission up to about 1 GHz, coaxial cable with a solid copper outer conductor is available in sizes of 0.25 inch upward. The outer conductor is rippled like a bellows to permit flexibility and the inner conductor is held in position by a plastic spiral to approximate an air dielectric. <P> RG-59 Coaxial Cable. RG -59 cable is the most widely used coaxial cable for most cable television and VCR applications. It is characterized by a 23 AWG (American Wire Gauge) center conductor. RG-59 cable is typically less expensive than RG-6 cable. The most common types of coaxial cable for video installations have been the RG-59 and RG-6 cables. Of these two, RG-59 is typically the default cable type for most low-cost cable installations. RG stands for radio guide, and the numbering of RG types of coax cable is arbitrary. <P> Applications of coax cable. Coax cable or coaxial feeder is used in many applications where it is necessary to transfer radio frequency energy from one point to another. Possibly the most obvious use of coax cable is for domestic television down-leads, but it is widely used in many other areas as well. The most common type of antenna feeder used today is undoubtedly coaxial feeder or coax cable. Coax cable, often referred to as RF cable, offers advantages of convenience of use while being able to provide a good level of performance. <P> RG-6 Coaxial cable. RG-6/U is a common type of coaxial cable used in a wide variety of residential and commercial applications. The term RG-6 itself is quite generic and refers to a wide variety of cable designs, which differ from one another in shielding characteristics, center conductor composition, dielectric type and jacket type. In practice, the term RG-6 is generally used to refer to coaxial cables with an 18 AWG center conductor and 75 ohm characteristic impedance. | A Coaxial cable is a cable used in the transmission of video, communications, and audio. |

what is aerodynamics | <P> We can also think of drag as aerodynamic resistance to the motion of the object through the fluid. This source of drag depends on the shape of the aircraft and is called form drag. As air flows around a body, the local velocity and pressure are changed. Drag is the aerodynamic force that opposes an aircraft's motion through the air. Drag is generated by every part of the airplane (even the engines! <P> The two primary forces in aerodynamics are lift and drag.

The term aerodynamics is often used synonymously with gas dynamics, with the difference being that gas dynamics applies to the study of the motion of all gases, not limited to air. In aerodynamics, hypersonic speeds are speeds that are highly supersonic. In the 1970s, the term generally came to refer to speeds of Mach 5 (5 times the speed of sound) and above. The hypersonic regime is a subset of the supersonic regime. <P> Welcome to the Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics What is aerodynamics? The word comes from two Greek words: aerios, concerning the air, and dynamis, which means force. Aerodynamics is the study of forces and the resulting motion of objects through the air. Judging from the story of Daedalus and Icarus, humans have been interested in aerodynamics and flying for thousands of years, although flying in a heavier-than-air machine has been possible only in the last hundred years. Because aerodynamics involves both the motion of the object and the reaction of the air, there are several pages devoted to basic gas properties and how those properties change through the atmosphere. This site was created at NASA Glenn as part of the Learning Technologies Project (LTP). <P> Full Definition of AERODYNAMICS. : a branch of dynamics that deals with the motion of air and other gaseous fluids and with the forces acting on bodies in motion relative to such fluids. — aero·dy·nam·ic \-ik\ also aero·dy·nam·i·cal \-i-kəl\ adjective. — aero·dy·nam·i·cal·ly \-i-k(ə-)lē\ adverb. — aero·dy·nam·i·cist \-ˈnam-ə-səst\ noun. <P> Aerodynamics comes into play in the study of flight and the science of building and operating an aircraft, which is called aeronautics. Aeronautical engineers use the fundamentals of aerodynamics to design aircraft that fly through the Earth's atmosphere. When the airplane is in level flight at a constant speed, the force of the thrust is just enough to counteract the aerodynamic drag. Moving air can also generate forces in a different direction from the flow. The force that keeps an airplane from falling is called lift. Lift is generated by an aircraft wing. <P> Aerodynamics, from Greek ἀήρ aer (air) + δυναμική (dynamics), is a branch of Fluid dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it interacts with a solid object, such as an airplane wing.

The hypersonic regime is a subset of the supersonic regime. <P> Aerodynamics is the study of how gases interact with moving bodies. Because the gas that we encounter most is air, aerodynamics is primarily concerned with the forces of drag and lift, which are caused by air passing over and around solid bodies.

why was darvon discontinued | <P> Nov. 19, 2010 -- The FDA has at last banned Darvon, Darvocet, and other brand/ generic drugs containing propoxyphene -- a safety-plagued painkiller from the 1950s. New proof of heart side effects, in studies of healthy people taking normal doses of the drug, prompted the FDA to act. An estimated 10 million Americans are taking Darvocet and other propoxyphene painkillers. They should NOT immediately stop taking the drugs, as there is danger of serious withdrawal symptoms.

what is a learning curve | <P> The theory of the learning curve or experience curve is based on the simple idea that the time required to perform a task decreases as a worker gains experience. The basic concept is that the time, or cost, of performing a task (e.g., producing a unit of output) decreases at a constant rate as cumulative output doubles. <P> Learning curve shows the rate of improvement in performing a task as a function of time, or the rate of change in average cost (in hours or dollars) as a function of cumulative output. <P> noun. 1 A graph that depicts rate of learning, especially a graph of progress in the mastery of a skill against the time required for such mastery. 2 The rate at which something can be learned or the degree of difficulty in learning something: a product with a difficult learning curve. <P> The term learning curve is used in two main ways: where the same task is repeated in a series of trials, or where a body of knowledge is learned over time. The first person to describe the learning curve was Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885, in the field of the psychology of learning, although the name wasn't used until 1909. <P> noun. The definition of a learning curve is the time and study that it takes to develop knowledge or skills relating to a particular subject or task. An example of a learning curve is the amount of effort needed to learn to play a new musical instrument. <P> DEFINITION of 'Learning Curve'. A concept that describes how new skills or knowledge can be quickly acquired initially, but subsequent learning becomes much slower. <P> The term the learning curve has a popular, well-known meaning in American culture. However, as these things sometimes go, when you start to examine the way that term is used, you find out that the popular meaning of the term really doesn't make any sense. <P> Learning Curve on Graph. Learning curve demonstrates that over a period time, there is an increase in productivity but with diminishing rate as production increases. Therefore, if the rate of reduction is 20% than the learning curve is referred as 80% learning curve. | The time and study that it takes to develop knowledge or skills relating to a particular subject or task. |
what does ceftriaxone do | <P> Ceftriaxone is usually continued for at least 2 days after symptoms disappear. Ceftriaxone will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.

how long does it take to install a new roof | <P> * Conditions Apply. The construction of a new metal roof may take 3-5 days however this will depend on the weather and public holidays. A 10% deposit is required for roofing jobs over $3,300 with 40% due upon delivery of materials and the balance due on completion. <P> When you have a new roof fitted you should, as far as possible, pay as much as you can afford to ensure that you get as long a life as possible with your new roof. Taking the plunge. Having a new roof fitted will mean a fairly major upheaval in your life. It may be necessary for you to move out while it is being done so it is important to know exactly how long to install a new roof will take. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t that straight forward. Everything depends on the size of the roof, the shape of the roof and exactly what you are having fitted <P> Many new roofs come with a life of up to 20 years and some more durable and hard wearing roofs will have a life as long as 40 or 50 years but if you don’t care for your roof and regularly have it checked and maintained you face a very real risk of substantially decreasing this lifespan. It may be necessary for you to move out while it is being done so it is important to know exactly how long to install a new roof will take. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t that straight forward. <P> It is not easily installed on a hip roof. Steeper roof pitches make installing metal roofing more time consuming, due to safety constraints. On a gabled end roof, metal roofing will go Much faster. providing that the pitch is not much more than 4/12. A lot faster. I installed a steel roof on a 30x50 7/12 gabled end today, and had time to drink beer, and eat oysters <P> Re-roof or new construction all depends on the type of roof, the weather, and the inspections needed. Generally for a small family home it can take a few days to large commercial projects that can take a few weeks to a few months. So how long should a roof last? We have seen poorly designed and installed roofs go as few as six or seven years before they failed, and we have seen old coal tar built up roofs that were 60 years old. Most building owners, roofing contractors and designers feel 20 years is an acceptable service life. <P> The size of the roof. Obviously a larger roof will take longer to install than a smaller one. 2. The slope of the roof. A 12:12 pitch roof will require fall protection, loading the roof requires more effort and care. A 3:12 roof doesn't require fall protection, loading the roof is a breeze and materials stay where you put them. Steeper roof pitches make installing metal roofing more time consuming, due to safety constraints. On a gabled end roof, metal roofing will go Much faster. providing that the pitch is not much more than 4/12. A lot faster. <P> At Atlantic we thrive to get even job done on time, on budget and to the best possible expectations. Although there are several variables to be considered, but since our roofing crews are very well experienced they will get most jobs done in one day. The benefit of using a roofing company that has 30 years replacing and repairing roofs is that efficiency has become second nature. On a typical shingle roof without damage to the actual roof structure, we will have the new roofing materials on your home and your property cleaned up by the end of the day. For built-up roofs, removing and replacing the roof will probably proceed at a rate of approximately 1,500 square feet per day. For single-ply roofs, the rate is closer to 2,000 to 4,000 square feet per day. Keep in mind there will be advance preparation before the day(s) of the actual construction. <P> Replacing a residential roof is a labor-intensive project and, depending on the type of roof, could take anywhere from a one day to a few days or more depending on the size and complexity. The time involved is substantially affected by the weather, as well. So how long should a roof last? We have seen poorly designed and installed roofs go as few as seven to ten years before they failed, and we have seen old asphalt roofs that were over 30 years old. Most building owners, roofing contractors and designers feel 25 years is an acceptable service life for today’s products. <P> Different shingles and roofing systems take longer than others. It also depends on the size of your roof. If your roof is only 15 SQ single layer tear off then it would be easily a day installation but if it was a 50 SQ single layer tear off it might take 2 days. Also, anytime that you have to redeck or resheet the roof before installing new shingles you are doubling the amount of time it takes to complete a roof. You are also doubling your material and labor costs as well. For example, if your home has a wood shake roof on it now and you are wanting to switch to a composition shingle or even a stone coated steel roofing system it is going to take longer than if you were to tear off a single layer composition shingle and replace it with another composition shingle. | It takes anywhere from a one day to a few days or more depending on the size and complexity. |

what is a parfleche in native american | <P> Many of the old American Indian parfleche bags or parfleche cases and other painted American Indian rawhide pieces in museum and private collections were painted with cookies. We have made every effort to revive the cookies as they were found on the Plains and the Plateau before 1900. <P> A parfleche is a Native American rawhide bag, typically used for holding dried meats and pemmican.The original bags had graphics that were actually maps, general geographical depictions of the surrounding land. <P> If Luggage says something about a traveler, the parfleche used to say something nomadic Native American tribes, and much more. Parfleches are containers of folded or laced rawhide, painted in detailed mostly geometric designs. <P> Make Your Own Parfleche Native Americans from the Columbia Plateau and the Plains stored, transported and shared foods and materials in parfleches.

what kind of cast is used for a broken wrist | <P> A Colles' fracture -- or distal radius fracture -- is often called a ''broken wrist.'' Technically, it's a break in the larger of the two bones in your forearm. The bone breaks on the lower end, close to where it connects to the bones of the hand on the thumb side of the wrist. <P> Type of cast. Location. Uses. Short arm cast. Applied below the elbow to the hand. Forearm or wrist fractures. Also used to hold the forearm or wrist muscles and tendons in place after surgery. Long arm cast. Applied from the upper arm to the hand. Upper arm, elbow, or forearm fractures. Also used to hold the arm or elbow muscles and tendons in place after surgery. Arm cylinder cast. Applied from the upper arm to the wrist. To hold the elbow muscles and tendons in place after a dislocation or surgery. <P> A wrist fracture is a medical term for a broken wrist. The wrist is made up of eight small bones which connect with the two long forearm bones called the radius and ulna. Although a broken wrist can happen in any of these 10 bones, by far the most common bone to break is the radius. <P> The five bones in your hand that connect your wrist to your thumb and fingers are called the metacarpal bones. You have a fracture (break) in one or more of these bones. This is called a hand (or metacarpal) fracture. Some hand fractures require wearing a splint or a cast. <P> Your fractured (broken) wrist has been placed in a plaster cast to make sure that the wrist is kept still while the fracture heals. The plaster cast will stay on for up to six weeks. Once the plaster cast has been taken off, your wrist will need another six weeks to become fully strong. | Short arm cast |
what bacteria causes diarrhea in humans | <P> Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria normally live in the intestines of people and animals. Most E. coli are harmless and actually are an important part of a healthy human intestinal tract. However, some E. coli are pathogenic, meaning they can cause illness, either diarrhea or illness outside of the intestinal tract. <P> Viruses, bacteria, and parasites that invade the digestive tract usually cause diarrhea. Large amounts of water are lost with the diarrhea, leading to dehydration in children. Children become dehydrated much quicker than adults, and this can lead to serious problems if fluids are not replaced. Salmonella is a bacteria that infects the intestines and causes diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. Over 1 million cases of salmonella infection are reported in the United States each year. The illness usually lasts four to seven days and most people recover without treatment <P> Food-borne illness often shows itself as flu-like symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever, so many people may not recognize the illness is caused by bacteria or other pathogens on food. Thousands of types of bacteria are naturally present in our environment. Not all bacteria cause disease in humans. <P> Parasites such as Giardia lamblia and cryptosporidium can cause diarrhea. Common bacterial causes of diarrhea include campylobacter, salmonella, shigella and Escherichia coli. Diarrhea caused by bacteria and parasites can be common when traveling in developing countries and is often called traveler's diarrhea. 1 Medications. 2 Many medications can cause diarrhea. 3 The most common are antibiotics. 1 Many medications can cause diarrhea. 2 The most common are antibiotics. 3 Antibiotics destroy both good and bad bacteria, which can disturb the natural balance of bacteria in your intestines. 4 This disturbance sometimes leads to an infection with bacteria called Clostridium difficile, which also can cause diarrhea. <P> Causes – Acute Diarrhea. Most cases of acute, watery diarrhea are caused by viruses (viral gastroenteritis). The most common ones in children are rotavirus and in adults are norovirus (this is sometimes called “cruise ship diarrhea” due to well publicized epidemics). Bacteria are a common cause of traveler’s diarrhea. Parasitic intestinal infections such as giardiasis can cause chronic diarrhea. Diabetes mellitus may be associated with diarrhea due to nerve damage and bacterial overgrowth; this occurs mainly in patients with long-standing, poorly-controlled diabetes. <P> Bacteria, viruses, and parasites can cause a wide variety of illnesses, and can infect any of the organs of the body. Viruses are often responsible for respiratory illnesses (such as the common cold) and digestive illnesses (such as diarrhea). Bacteria can infect any part of the body, but often cause diarrhea when they invade the digestive tract. Salmonella. Description. Salmonella is a bacteria that infects the intestines and causes diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. Over 1 million cases of salmonella infection are reported in the United States each year. <P> 1 Giardiasis is the name of the disease caused by Giardia lamblia parasites that infect the small bowel. 2 Giardiasis is caused by Giardialamblia parasites that damage the small intestine; Giardia lamblia forms cysts are transmitted to humans in contaminated water or food and by person-to-person contact. <P> Bacteria, viruses, and parasites can cause a wide variety of illnesses, and can infect any of the organs of the body.

how long does it take for a puppy broken jaw to mend? | <P> Jaw Fractures. Jaw fractures are a very common problem in veterinary practice. The lower jaws (the left and right mandibles), or the upper maxillas (left and right facial bones) may be fractured (broken). When there is a fracture of the upper maxillas, the fracture may be obvious, or extremely subtle. <P> I took her to the vet and he said that she had a broken jaw and could wire it shut to fix it, but it's expencieve. Here is the problem... My parents... show more You see my boyfriend and I have been keeping two of my parents dogs for the last week. Report Abuse. No.. a broken jaw will not heal itself and eventually, the jaw will lock up and your dog will not be able to eat. Sorry to be so blunt, but it brings me back to a time when I worked for a vet. <P> For most adult dogs or cats, broken bone healing time is 8 to 12 weeks. In puppies or kittens, broken bone healing time is 6 to 9 weeks. Complicated fractures can take as much as 16 weeks. Delayed Union and Non-Union Fractures. Age: Younger dogs or cats heal faster. They are already producing new bone in order to grow, and the cellular /chemical processes for growing bone are the same as those needed to heal a fracture; enzymatic momentum is on their side. <P> have you taken your dog to the vet?? depending in where the break is and what treatment is done will depend on how long it takes to heal. if it is a minor break then sometimes a cast will work but can be on for around 8-10 weeks. Broken bones heal faster in puppies, but in older dogs it can easily take 3 months or more. Depending on the location & type of break, whether it needed to be pinned or have a plate put in. All these questions can be answered by the vet who is treating your dog's broken leg. Source(s): miaugh · 7 years ago. <P> The maxilla forms the upper jaw (maxilla) and holds the upper teeth in place, whereas, the mandible, also called the jawbone, forms the lower jaw and holds the lower teeth in place. Fractures of the upper jaw and lower jaw (mandible) are mostly seen in dogs due to injury or trauma. <P> Broken Bones in Dogs. Most fractures tend to be caused by car accidents and falls from a height. The dogs bones most commonly broken are the femur, pelvis, skull, jaw, and spine. Fractures are classified as open or closed. In an open fracture (also called a compound fracture), a wound exposes the dogs bone. Often the bone is seen sticking through the skin. <P> The average healing time for a broken jaw is six weeks. If the fractured segments of the jaw are properly aligned and undisturbed during healing, the jaw should heal and be as strong as in was before the fracture occurred. The pain will be a pulsating throb with occasional sharp pangs. A broken jaw is also likely if your jaw sticks out farther than normal or is indented. There will be swelling on the side of the face where the jaw is broken. <P> I took her to the vet and he said that she had a broken jaw and could wire it shut to fix it, but it's expencieve. Here is the problem... My parents never intended to keep the little dog, she's a bit active, they were going to take her to the pound. Report Abuse. No.. a broken jaw will not heal itself and eventually, the jaw will lock up and your dog will not be able to eat. Sorry to be so blunt, but it brings me back to a time when I worked for a vet. <P> Only the nose is broken more frequently. A broken jaw is the 10th most common fractured bone in the human body. Fractures (breaks in the bone) are generally the result of a direct force or trauma to the jawbone (mandible). A dislocated jawbone means that the temporomandibular joint (where the jaw connects with the skull) is moved out of place. | Average 6 weeks. |
what is a squish | <P> squish. v. squished, squish·ing, squish·es. v. tr. To squeeze or crush together or into a flat mass; squash. v. intr. To emit the gurgling or sucking sound of soft mud being walked on <P> Squish is an effect in internal combustion engines which creates sudden turbulence of the fuel/air mixture as the piston approaches top dead centre (TDC). In an engine designed to use the squish effect, at top dead centre (TDC) the piston crown comes very close, (typically less than 1mm), to the cylinder head. <P> So what is squish clearance? Also known as quench, squish refers to the area or areas where the piston comes very close to the cylinder head while passing through top dead center (TDC). Even though the fire has already been lit, these areas still contain unburned air/fuel mix as the piston arrives. The result is more chamber turbulence, better atomization of the fuel, and the squish band even has a cooling effect on the fuel. Those are all good things! They result in more complete combustion (read: more power and better fuel mileage) as well as better resistance to detonation. <P> Squish is a commercial cross-platform GUI and regression testing tool that can test applications based on a variety of GUI technologies (see list below). It is developed and maintained by Froglogic. Squish is developed and maintained by Froglogic. Version 1.0 was released on 18 November 2003. Squish uses property-based object identification (independent of screen position), and is able to record and replay test scripts written in JavaScript, Perl, Python, Ruby or Tcl. <P> squish. 1. In the asexual community, the equivalent of a crush, but explicitly lacking an interest in forming a romantic couple or having a sexual relationship with the person in question. It does not matter if they are in a relationship, as long as you two can have a deep connection. A squish is an intense feeling of attraction, liking, appreciation, admiration for a person you urgently want to get to know better and become close with. A crush on someone that is not associated with a desire for a romantic or sexual relationship. The desire to get to know them and be important to them is purely platonic in nature. Characterized by admiration, respect and affection for a person. <P> Introduction. Squish band thickness is the distance between the piston and the cylinder head where the piston meets the cylinder bore. If the squish clearance and width is set to an optimal amount, then the fuel is burned efficiently. If the squish distance is too great then the fuel in the squish band is not burned and the engine runs very “dirty”. It is inefficient and does not produce optimal power. The squish band is a very important part of head mods and this is where I spend alot of time. <P> 1. the noise of soft mud being walked on. Familiarity information: SQUISH used as a noun is very rare. • SQUISH (verb). The verb SQUISH has 2 senses: 1. walk through mud or mire. 2. put (a liquid) into a container or another place by means of a squirting action. Familiarity information: SQUISH used as a verb is rare. <P> The Squish Band is defined as that area between the FLAT of the piston and the FLAT of the cylinder head at top dead center (TDC). <P> Shown above is an angled squish band, i.e. the squish band is at an angle from the horizontal. More common in stock HD motors is a flat or zero degree squish band, which is the same thing except that the fuel is squeezed out horizontally. Now simply measure with a caliper: Squish clearance is then modified to the desired value by adjusting the height of the cylinder, the thickness of the head and base gaskets, using a piston with a larger compression height, or some combination thereof. | It is an effect in internal combustion engines which creates sudden turbulence of the fuel/air mixture as the piston approaches top dead centre. |

Which polysaccharide is usually found in the cell wall of fungi? | <P> Chitin. Chitin is a nitrogenous polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of the tarantula. It's a tough semitransparent horny substance; the principal component of the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of certain fungi. <P> Cell walls can be composed of polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, or a combination of these. Cell walls provide increased mechanical strength and resistance to lysis by osmotic shock (water moving into the cell). Cell walls are found in the cells of eubacteria, archaebacteria, fungi, algae, and plants. The cell walls vary greatly in their compositions: 1 Eubacteria. 2 Almost all eubacterial species have cell walls containing a polysaccharide called peptidoglycan. <P> Plant cell walls are mostly made of the polysaccharide cellulose. They also contain a large amount of hemicellulose and pectin. Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan. The cell walls of plants can actually have two layers. The primary structure is a polysaccharide known as cellulose (which is actually not digestible when consumed by humans …). <P> Bacterial Cell Walls. In eubacteria, the cell wall is composed of one or more layers of a peptidoglycan, called murein. A peptidoglycan is a combination of peptides and sugars. Murein is composed of the sugars N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid. To murein are linked peptide extensions that are crosslinked to form the netlike wall. The cell walls of fungi are diverse among the taxonomic groups, but most contain chitin microfibrils embedded in a polysaccharide matrix and covered with a loose coating of additional molecules combining sugars and peptides (amino acid chains). <P> Polysaccharides are an important class of biological polymers. Their function in living organisms is usually either structure-or storage-related. Starch (a polymer of glucose) is used as a storage polysaccharide in plants, being found in the form of both amylose and the branched amylopectin. In animals, the structurally similar glucose polymer is the more densely branched glycogen, sometimes called 'animal starch' <P> Chitin : Chitin is an extracellular structural polysaccharide found in large quantities in the body covering (cuticle) of arthropods and in smaller amounts in sponges, mollusks, and annelids. Chitin has also been identified in the cell walls of most fungi and some green algae. Starch : Starch is a nutrient polysaccharide found in plant cells, protists, and certain bacteria and is similar in many respects to glycogen. (In fact, glycogen is often referred to as “animal starch.”) Starch usually occurs in cells in the form of granules visible by both light and electron microscopy. <P> Plant cell walls are mostly made of the polysaccharide cellulose. They also contain a large amount of hemicellulose and pectin. Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan. <P> In addition, the cell wall acts as a filtering mechanism. A major function of the cell wall is to act as a pressure vessel, preventing over-expansion when water enters the cell. Cell walls are found in plants, fungi and prokaryotic cells but not in mycoplasmas. The composition of the cell wall varies between species and may depend on cell type and developmental stage. The primary cell wall of land plants is composed of the polysaccharides cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. In bacteria, peptidoglycan forms the cell wall. Archaean cell walls have various compositions, and may be formed of glycoprotein S-layers, pseudopeptidoglycan, or polysaccharides. Fungi possess cell walls made of the glucosamine polymer chitin, and algae typically possess walls made of glycoproteins and polysaccharides. Unusually, diatoms have a cell wall composed of biogenic silica. Often, other accessory molecules are found anchored to the cell wall. <P> Advertisements: Included in this group are cellulose (found in plant cell walls), mannan (found in yeast cell walls), chitin (in the shells of arthropods and the cell walls of some fungi), hyaluronic acid, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate (in connective tissue) and the peptidoglycans of bacteria.

(In fact, glycogen is often referred to as “animal starch.”) Starch usually occurs in cells in the form of granules visible by both light and electron microscopy. | Cell walls are found in the cells of eubacteria, archaebacteria, fungi, algae, and plants. |
how long before you can take out a nose piercing | <P> Healing time is different depending on the part of your body that you get pierced. Some parts are more likely to get infected or have problems. Piercings on your ear lobes usually take about 6-8 weeks to heal. However, piercings on the side of your ear (cartilage) can take anywhere from 4 months to 1 year to heal. <P> As we have said the time frame for a newly pierced nose to completely heal varies from 2 to 4 months for nostril piercing and 6 to 8 months for septum piercings. Swelling and other symptoms that appear immediately after the piercing is done however normally go away in 10 to 15 days. We have all along been saying that you shouldn’t remove your piercing during the healing time to not only avoid infections but also to avoid close up especially given the fact that a piercing on the nose of less than four weeks closes up in less that 24 hours if the ring or stud is removed. <P> For this reason, most piercers recommend that you wait the maximum four months for nostril piercings and eight months for septum piercings before attempting to change the ring yourself. If you need to switch the ring before then, ask your piercer to tackle the job. It's important to clean your piercing site at least once a day to promote normal healing. To do this, dissolve 1/4 tsp. of sea salt in 1 cup of warm water. If you're cleaning a nostril piercing, soak a cotton ball in the solution and hold it over the piercing for about 10 minutes to kill bacteria. <P> 1 If your piercing is in your septum (the middle section of the nose), you'll need to insert the jewelry into the hole through one nostril. 2 If, however, the piercing is in the side of one of your nostrils, you should insert it from the outside of the nose. 1 If, however, the piercing is in the side of one of your nostrils, you should insert it from the outside of the nose. 2 As a reminder, be sure to wash your hands or put on gloves before handling your (sterile) new jewelry or touching your piercing. <P> Cartilage piercings take significantly longer to heal than those that go through a flap of skin, like an earlobe. If you remove a ring from a nostril piercing that is less than 6 months old, the hole closes within a matter of days. If your piercing is healed, the hole on the outside of the nostril might stay open for several weeks <P> Average heal time can vary from piercing to piercing from 4~6 weeks for some and other a lot longer. Light heals are not considered healed and can be damaged by removing the jewellery too soon. Nostril piercings can take 6 months to 1 year to heal completely, and a septum piercing usually takes about 3 months. Then in about … three or four weeks I could take it out for a couple of days at a time. Now if you just got it done and you want to know how long in till you can change it, i would wait in till it is healed all the way. The more times you change it be for it is heal the more chance of it getting infected. <P> 1 While every piercing is different, most new nose piercings will need at least a month to heal to the point that you can safely remove the jewelry. 2 However, longer waiting periods (up to two months or longer) are usually preferable. 1 If, however, the piercing is in the side of one of your nostrils, you should insert it from the outside of the nose. 2 As a reminder, be sure to wash your hands or put on gloves before handling your (sterile) new jewelry or touching your piercing. <P> 188. Hi, I'm just wondering how long you guys think you should leave a nose piercing before changing to a ring, I've heard conflicting times from piercers, ranging from 6 weeks to 3 months so was just wondering what's the best. I really want a ring in it but don't want to do it too soon and cause problems. Thanks!! Senior Member.

what is a pothole geography | <P> V-Shaped valleys are found in the upper course of the river and are a result of both erosion by the river and weathering. V-Shaped valleys are deep river valleys with steep sides that look like a letter V when a cross section of them is taken, hence the name. Meanders are bends in a river that form as a river’s sinuosity increases. The sinuosity of a river is a measurement of how much a river varies from a straight line. It’s a ratio between the channel length and displacement (straight line distance) between two points in the river’s course: <P> Potholes. Potholes are cylindrical holes drilled into the bed of a river that vary in depth & diameter from a few centimetres to several metres. They’re found in the upper course of a river where it has enough potential energy to erode vertically and its flow is turbulent. In the upper course of a river, its load is large and mainly transported by traction along the river bed. Meanders are bends in a river that form as a river’s sinuosity increases. The sinuosity of a river is a measurement of how much a river varies from a straight line. It’s a ratio between the channel length and displacement (straight line distance) between two points in the river’s course: <P> pothole, in geology, cylindrical pit formed in the rocky channel of a turbulent stream. It is formed and enlarged by the abrading action of pebbles and cobbles that are carried by eddies, or circular water currents that move against the main current of a stream. <P> The hollows are called dolines or shakeholes. The shakehole is then eroded by streams and a vertical hole known as a pothole or swallow hole is formed. These holes can, in turn, be enlarged by heavy rainfall or glacial meltwater. Gaping Gill, in the Yorkshire Dales, is an example of an enlarged swallow hole. <P> Noun. 1. pothole-a pit or hole produced by wear or weathering (especially in a road surface). chuckhole. hollow, hole-a depression hollowed out of solid matter. 1. A hole or pit, especially one in a road surface. Also called chuckhole. 2. A deep round hole worn in rock by loose stones whirling in strong rapids or waterfalls. 3. Western US A place filled with mud or quicksand that is a hazard to cattle. <P> Best Answer: Potholes are hollows formed underground by the action of water erosion. this usually occurs in porous limestone type rock where a fissure or crack allows the ingress of water from a river or stream to flow in. <P> Potholes form mainly in the upper course of the river, in high altitude where the river channel cuts directly into the bedrock. Potholes are the direct consequence of vertical erosion and processes of abrasion. As has already been described, rejuvenating rivers form as a result of a fall in sea level, either as a result of an increase in ice storage or due to isotatic rise or tectonic shifts. Either way the result is a relative fall of sea level to land. Isostatic rise or rebound is caused by the landmass rising. <P> pothole. in geology, cylindrical pit formed in the rocky channel of a turbulent stream. It is formed and enlarged by the abrading action of pebbles and cobbles that are carried by eddies, or circular water currents that move against the main current of a stream. Any bowl-shaped, cylindrical, or circular hole formed by the grinding action of a stone in the rocky bed of a river or stream. Also known as churn hole; colk; eddy mill; evorsion hollow; kettle; pot. A vertical, or nearly vertical shaft in limestone. <P> 4. Traffic can break the pavement. A pothole is a type of failure in an asphalt pavement, caused by the presence of water in the underlying soil structure and the presence of traffic passing over the affected area. Introduction of water to the underlying soil structure first weakens the supporting soil. <P> Potholes are cylindrical holes drilled into the rocky bed of a river by burbulent high-velocity water loaded with pebbles. The pebbles become trapped in slight hollows and vertical eddies in the water are strong eneough to allow the sediment to grind a hole into the rock be abrasion (corrasion). Potholes can vary in width from a few centimetres to several metres. They are generally found in the upper or early-middle course of a river. This is where the valley lies well above base level, giving more potential for downcutting, and where the river bed is more likely to be rocky in nature. | Potholes are cylindrical holes drilled into the bed of a river that vary in depth & diameter from a few centimetres to several metres. |
what makes up human blood | <P> Like the red and white blood cells, platelets are produced in bone marrow from stem cells. Plasma. Plasma is the relatively clear, yellow tinted water (92+%), sugar, fat, protein and salt solution which carries the red cells, white cells, and platelets. Normally, 55% of our blood's volume is made up of plasma. <P> The blood also carries away waste products. The adult human body contains approximately 5 liters (5.3 quarts) of blood; it makes up 7 to 8 percent of a person's body weight. Approximately 2.75 to 3 liters of blood is plasma and the rest is the cellular portion. <P> Whole blood makes up about 7% of a person's body weight and consists primarily of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. The average human adult has about 1 ‐ 1½ gallons of blood traveling through their circulatory system. <P> White cells, or leukocytes, exist in variable numbers and types but make up a very small part of blood's volume--normally only about 1% in healthy people. Leukocytes are not limited to blood. They occur elsewhere in the body as well, most notably in the spleen, liver, and lymph glands. <P> More specifically, Human blood has about 45% blood cells and 55 percent plasma. The blood cells contain erythrocytes(red blood cells) and leukocytes(white blood cells), but it's mostly red blood cells. The plasma part has 90% water, and 10% protein, gases, waste, and enzymes. <P> Red cells normally make up 40-50% of the total blood volume. They transport oxygen from the lungs to all of the living tissues of the body and carry away carbon dioxide. The red cells are produced continuously in our bone marrow from stem cells at a rate of about 2-3 million cells per second. <P> Human blood is made of plasma (makes up 54.3% of the blood volume) and several kinds of cells (corpuscles); these are 1 –. erythrocytes (RBC) – 45% of blood by volume. 2 leukocytes (WBC) – 0.7% of blood by volume. 3 thrombocytes (platelets) – minute amounts. <P> Normally, 7-8% of human body weight is from blood. In adults, this amounts to 4.5-6 quarts of blood. This essential fluid carries out the critical functions of transporting oxygen and nutrients to our cells and getting rid of carbon dioxide, ammonia, and other waste products. | Made of plasma (makes up 54.3% of the blood volume) and several kinds of cells (corpuscles); these are 1 –. erythrocytes (RBC) – 45% of blood by volume. 2 leukocytes (WBC) – 0.7% of blood by volume. 3 thrombocytes (platelets) – minute amounts. |
what does magnetosphere attract | <P> MAGNETOSPHERE. The magnetosphere is the region that surrounds a planet and the magnetic field of that planet, in which charged particles are trapped and controlled by that planet’s magnetic field, rather than the solar magnetic field. Plasmasphere: a region inside the magnetosphere which captures plasma that flows from the ionosphere, so that there is a plasma build-up. Pole: an extremity of an axis through a sphere; in a magnet, one of two places where it is most intense; the two poles have opposite charges (+/-). <P> More specifically, the Earth’s magnetosphere is the region of space where the Earth’s magnetic field is confined by the solar wind plasma, blowing outward from the Sun. The magnetosphere prevents most of the particles from the Sun, carried by solar wind, from hitting the Earth. Plasmasphere: a region inside the magnetosphere which captures plasma that flows from the ionosphere, so that there is a plasma build-up. Pole: an extremity of an axis through a sphere; in a magnet, one of two places where it is most intense; the two poles have opposite charges (+/-). <P> A magnetosphere is classified as induced when, or when the solar wind is not opposed by the object's magnetic field. In this case, the solar wind interacts with the atmosphere or ionosphere of the planet (or surface of the planet, if the planet has no atmosphere). Study of Earth's magnetosphere began in 1600, when William Gilbert discovered that the magnetic field on the surface of Earth resembled that on a terrella, a small, magnetized sphere. <P> Magnetosphere The area around the Earth that extends beyond the atmosphere is called the Magnetosphere. The Magnetosphere begins at approximately 1000 km and extends … thousands of kilometers into space. the sun and the Earth's magnetic field create this layer. <P> A magnetosphere is classified as intrinsic when, or when the primary opposition to the flow of solar wind is the magnetic field of the object. Mercury, Earth, Jupiter, Ganymede, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune exhibit intrinsic magnetospheres. Study of Earth's magnetosphere began in 1600, when William Gilbert discovered that the magnetic field on the surface of Earth resembled that on a terrella, a small, magnetized sphere. <P> The shape of the Earth's magnetosphere is the direct result of being blasted by solar wind. It prevents most of the particles from the Sun, carried in the solar wind, from hitting the Earth. The Sun and other planets have magnetospheres, but the Earth has the strongest one of all the rocky planets. <P> Because the Earth is made of magnetic elements such as Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt, the Earth acts as an extremely large magnet, which attracts these charged particles, among other things. Plasmasphere: a region inside the magnetosphere which captures plasma that flows from the ionosphere, so that there is a plasma build-up. Pole: an extremity of an axis through a sphere; in a magnet, one of two places where it is most intense; the two poles have opposite charges (+/-). <P> The Earth's Magnetic Field. The Earth has a magnetic field with north and south poles. The Earth's magnetic field reaches 36,000 miles into space. The magnetic field of the Earth is surrounded in a region called the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere prevents most of the particles from the sun, carried in solar wind, from hitting the Earth. Some particles from the solar wind can enters the magnetosphere. <P> Magnetosphere The area around the Earth that extends beyond the atmosphere is called the Magnetosphere.
