which organ system is responsible for balancing calcium levels in the body | <P> The ultimate control of homeostasis is accomplished by the nervous system (for rapid responses such as reflexes to avoid picking up a hot pot off the stove) and the endocrine system (for longer-term responses, such as maintaining the body levels of calcium, etc.). The endocrine system is the second type of extrinsic control, and involves a chemical component to the reflex. Sensors detect a change within the body and send a message to an endocrine effector (parathyroid), which makes PTH. PTH is released into the blood when blood calcium levels are low. <P> Balance of electrolytes within the body is also maintained by the urinary system. The urinary system is also responsible for maintaining red blood cell count within the body and the optimum pH levels in the blood. All of these functions help maintain homeostasis within the body. 7. <P> Why our body needs calcium. Calcium is a mineral that is stored in the bones. Nearly all the calcium in the body is stored in bone tissue. But a small amount (around 1%) circulates dissolved in the blood and other body fluids, or is inside our cells. This is needed for. 1 Keeping bones and teeth healthy. 2 Blood clotting. <P> The PTH system provides long-term, day-to-day regulation of calcium levels by many hormones working in concert. This hormonal “feedback loop” is governed by the parathyroid glands and the calcitonin secreting cells of the thyroid gland by their constant monitoring of the blood calcium levels. Special cells that reside in the thyroid gland along with thyroid hormone containing cells release another hormone, calcitonin, into the blood. Calcitonin signals osteoclasts to slow down removal of calcium from bone; this action tends to lower levels of blood calcium. <P> The two most important hormones for maintaining calcium levels in the body are parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25(OH)2D (the active form of vitamin D). The major regulator is PTH, which is part of a negative feedback loop to maintain [Ca ++ ] ECF (see Humoral regulation). <P> Calcium metabolism refers to all the movements (and how they are regulated) of calcium atoms and ions into and out of various body compartments, such as the gut, the blood plasma, the interstitial fluids which bathe the cells in the body, the intracellular fluids, and bone. <P> The endocrine system is a unique and essential part of normal body function. Where the nervous system handles functions that happen quickly, like breathing and body movement, the endocrine system handles body functions that happen much slower, such as the growth of cells, organs, and metabolism. Endocrine system keeps the body's hormone and secretion levels in balance. Since there is a whole series of organs and glands that must work in tandem to maintain healthy hormone and secretion levels, when one of them doesn't function the way it's supposed to function, it puts a heavy strain on the rest of the body. <P> How parathyroid hormone works. Like in the thyroid, the parathyroids have receptors (in this case calcium receptors) that detect the level of calcium in the body. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released when these calcium receptors (CaR) on the surface of the parathyroid glands detect low blood calcium levels. <P> Hormones control various cellular activities including growth; development; reproduction; energy use and storage; and water and electrolyte balance. Both the endocrine system and the nervous system are responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the body. The endocrine system regulates vital processes in the body including growth, metabolism, and sexual development. This system is comprised of several major endocrine glands. These glands secrete hormones into the blood. | Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25(OH)2D (the active form of vitamin D) |
what was the purpose of the invention of the bessemer process | <P> Henry Bessemer-The Steel Man. Englishmen, Sir Henry Bessemer (1813-1898) invented the first process for mass-producing steel inexpensively, essential to the development of skyscrapers. <P> Bessemer was knighted in 1879 for his contribution to science. The Bessemer Process for mass-producing steel, was named after Bessemer. The inventor, Sir Henry Bessemer on the making of the first steel ingot: More on Steel. Robert Mushet invented tungsten steel in 1868. Henry Brearly invented stainless steel in 1916. <P> The process of refining molten iron with blasts of air was accomplished by the British inventor Sir Henry Bessemer who developed the Bessemer furnace, or converter, in 1855. He was a prolific inventor, but is best known for his process for the manufacture of steel. <P> Bessemer converter, schematic diagram. The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron prior to the open hearth furnace. The key principle is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. <P> Discovered in 1855 by Sir Henry Bessemer. The Bessemer process was discovered through Sir Henry’s attempts to manufacture steel faster and more cheaply. Particularly for the purpose of manufacturing military weapons, which were at the time made with iron, which is considerably heavier than steel. <P> Sir Henry Bessemer was a prominent British engineer, inventor and entrepreneur. He developed the first cost-efficient process for the manufacture of steel in 1856, which later led to the invention of Bessemer converter. | key principle is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. |
average lifespan of a tropical fish | <P> Betta fish actually live for 4+ years, eight years is not uncommon, in a 2+ gallon tank. In petstores males and females are actually an average of two years old; a female's finnage is alway short. 2-3 years in a bowl but 6-7 in a tank. 8 years is not uncommon, though. <P> Reference List. Here is a reference with the expected lifespan of popular aquarium fish. These figures are simply an average. Keep in mind that with good care fish can live much longer. Likewise, fish that are not kept in the proper habitat, and are not cared for properly, will have a shorter lifespan. <P> Bettas on average live little more than two years, while Goldfish live for decades. Short Lifespans. Killifish are among the aquarium fish with the shortest lifespan. They generally only live a year or two. Bettas are not far behind, averaging only about 2 years. There have been documented cases of Bettas living 5 years or more, but that is not the norm. <P> Freshwater. Many freshwater fish average about 1 to 3 years of life. Some of the more popular species with this short life span include fantail guppies, swordtail platy, mollies, rainbow fish, hatchet fish, corydoras catfish, some cichlids, rasboras and tiger barbs. There are also several fish that live around 3 to 5 years, with proper care and feeding. <P> The average lifespan of a goldfish is about 10-15 months with improper care. Many die before that because of poor care such as overfeeding, having too small of a fish tank, not having a good enough filter, forgetting to feed them, ETC. The oldest recorded goldfish lived to be 44 years old but died in 2003. <P> Many freshwater fish average about 1 to 3 years of life.

what does stratified columnar do | <P> The most prevalent of the stratified epithelia is the squamous variety. As a keratinized or waterproofed component of the skin, stratified squamous epithelium provides substantial protection against friction, microbial invasion and dessication. Stratified epithelia are found covering the exterior body surfaces and lining portions of the body tracts where friction phenomena occur. A multilayered epithelium allows deeper cells to replace the more superficial cells as they are damaged or cast off from the epithelial free surface. <P> 10 most extreme places on Earth. Stratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue composed of two or more layers of columnar epithelial cells. Epithelial tissue is one of the body’s primary tissues and lines the surfaces and insides of structures in many parts of the body. A rare type of this tissue, stratified columnar epithelium, is only found in a few places in the body, including parts of the anus, conjunctiva in the eye, uterus, and pharynx. Epithelial tissue is classified in two ways: based on structure, and based on form and function. <P> A pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a special type of simple epithelium that consists of a falsely-stratified single layer of epithelial cells resting on a basement membrane. Many, if not most, of the cells, are columnar. <P> These can be arranged in a single layer of cells as simple epithelium, either squamous, columnar or cuboidal, or in layers of two or more cells deep as stratified (layered), either squamous, columnar or cuboidal. All glands are made up of epithelial cells. <P> 1 Pseudostratified epithelia are simple epithelia that appear to be stratified when they are viewed in section, even though they are truly simple epithelia. 2 Shape of Cells. 3 In squamous epithelia, the outermost layer is flattened. <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A stratified squamous epithelium consists of squamous (flattened) epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane. Only one layer is in contact with the basement membrane; the other layers adhere to one another to maintain structural integrity. Although this epithelium is referred to as squamous, many cells within the layers may not be flattened; this is due to the convention of naming epithelia according to the cell type at the surface. In the deeper layers, the cells may be columnar or cuboidal. <P> The layers may include stratified squamous, stratified columnar, or stratified columnar ciliated types of cells. There are various subtypes of stratified epithelium, named for the type of cells on the surface (e.g., stratified squamous epithelium, stratified columnar epithelium). (strat'i-fīd ep'i-thē'lē-ŭm). A type of epithelium composed of a series of layers, the cells of each varying in size and shape. It is named more specifically according to the type of cells at the surface, e.g., stratified squamous epithelium, stratified columnar epithelium, stratified ciliated columnar epithelium. <P> The principle structural types are simple and stratified. Simple epithelium has only one layer of cells, while stratified epithelium has two or more layers. The form and function classifications of epithelial tissue are cuboidal, squamous, and columnar. A rare type of this tissue, stratified columnar epithelium, is only found in a few places in the body, including parts of the anus, conjunctiva in the eye, uterus, and pharynx.

Epithelial tissue is classified in two ways: based on structure, and based on form and function. <P> Stratified columnar epithelium is a rare type of epithelial tissue composed of column shaped cells arranged in multiple layers. Stratified columnar epithelia are found in the ocular conjunctiva of the eye, in parts of the pharynx and anus, the female's uterus, the male urethra and vas deferens. Also found in Lobar ducts in salivary glands. The cells function in secretion and protection. | It composed of column shaped cells arranged in multiple layers. |
about how many autopsies does a coroner have yearly | <P> While many types of medical doctors are capable of performing autopsies, most states or local government laws mandate that an appointed forensic pathologist do the work. These appointees are called medical examiners and have an official position in the county medical examiner system. Not all counties use the medical examiner system. Some counties use coroners and a coroner's system. There are two major differences between medical examiners and coroners and their corresponding systems. In the event that a non-medical coroner needs an autopsy performed, he or she can have it sent to a medical examiner. In some states, the government will provide the coroner with a medical examiner for the autopsy. <P> For more information, check with the coroner's court in your state or read the specific legislation for each state. Even though 128,500 Australians die each year, only a relatively small percentage (10.5%) will end up needing to have an autopsy. Victoria. Approximately 32, 000 people die in Victoria each year. There is one main coronial facility in Melbourne, and approximately 4,003 deaths per year are reported to coroner, and 2,423 have a full autopsy. <P> They Are Expensive. Autopsies are not covered under Medicare, Medicaid or most insurance plans, though some hospitals -- teaching hospitals in particular -- do not charge for autopsies of individuals who passed away in the facility. A private autopsy by an outside expert can cost between $3,000 and $5,000. <P> More than 1,500 counties operate under a coroner system, where qualifications and expectations vary, according to the National Association of Medical Examiners. 1 Kansas, Ohio, and Louisiana require coroners to be certified forensic pathologists. 2 In Nebraska coroners are often also the county attorney. 1 North Dakota requires that coroners be licensed physicians, but only in counties of more than 8,000 people. 2 Georgia requires that you be at least 25 years old, have no felony convictions, have a high-school education and complete a week's training course in death investigation before you take the job. <P> Of the 128 500 people who die in Australia every year, only 13.4% of deaths are referred on to the coroner's office and even fewer will require a coronial investigation and autopsy. Victoria. Approximately 32, 000 people die in Victoria each year. There is one main coronial facility in Melbourne, and approximately 4,003 deaths per year are reported to coroner, and 2,423 have a full autopsy. <P> Approximately 45, 400 people die each year in New South Wales. Sydney has three major coronial facilities, and approximately 6,000 deaths per year are reported to the coroner-of these approximately 90% (5400) have a full autopsy. Victoria. Approximately 32, 000 people die in Victoria each year. There is one main coronial facility in Melbourne, and approximately 4,003 deaths per year are reported to coroner, and 2,423 <P> The principal aim of an autopsy is to determine the cause of death, the state of health of the person before he or she died, and whether any medical diagnosis and treatment before death was appropriate. In most Western countries the number of autopsies performed in hospitals has been decreasing every year since 1955. <P> A Coroner will most likely earn an average pay level between 48000 and 72000 based on tenure and industry expertise. Coroners can expect an average pay level of Sixty Five Thousand dollars per year. Coroners obtain the most salary in the District of Columbia, where they earn average pay levels of just about $77520. Employees who work in this job receive the highest salary in Information, where they receive pay levels, on average, of $75450. The national wage distribution is shown below. <P> A survey of more than 60 of the nation's largest medical examiner and coroner offices by ProPublica, PBS Frontline and NPR found 105 doctors who have not passed the exam -- or more than 1 in 5 doctors on their full-time and part-time staffs. <P> Some states, like Louisiana, require coroners to be forensic pathologists, but most county coroner systems do not. In the event that a non-medical coroner needs an autopsy performed, he or she can have it sent to a medical examiner. In some states, the government will provide the coroner with a medical examiner for the autopsy. | 48000 and 72000 |
the lend lease act was passed by the united states congress in response to increased | <P> Introduction. Proposed in late 1940 and passed in March 1941, the Lend-Lease Act was the principal means for providing U.S. military aid to foreign nations during World War II. The Lend-Lease Act of March 11, 1941, was the principal means for providing U.S. military aid to foreign nations during World War II. <P> A+E Networks. Proposed in late 1940 and passed in March 1941, the Lend-Lease Act was the principal means for providing U.S. military aid to foreign nations during World War II. The Lend-Lease Act of March 11, 1941, was the principal means for providing U.S. military aid to foreign nations during World War II. <P> The Lend-Lease Act was initiated due to America's looming involvement in World War II. During the period before the enactment of The Lend-Lease Act the United States had instituted a peacetime draft and had increased its defense budget 5 fold. When the Lend-Lease Act came before Congress it fell along party lines, with the Lend-Lease Act passing largely due to a majority of Democrats in both the House and Senate. In the House, the bill passed by 260 to 165 and 59 to 30 in the Senate. <P> Confidence votes 4.0K. The Lend-Lease Act was passed on March 11, 1941. Lend-Lease was a program of the United States Federal government during World War II which enabled the United States to provide the Allied nations with war material while the US was still officially a neutral country. What is the definition for Lend-lease Act? It was the name of the program under which the United States of America supplied the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China, France and other Allied nations with vast amounts … of war materiel between 1941 and 1945 in return for, in the case of Britain, military bases. <P> Its major goal was to supply the United Kingdom, France, China, and the Soviet Union with supplies to combat the Axis powers during World War II while avoiding the United States direct military involvement in the war. The Lend-Lease Act was essential to circumvent the prohibitions of the Neutrality Acts. When the Lend-Lease Act came before Congress it fell along party lines, with the Lend-Lease Act passing largely due to a majority of Democrats in both the House and Senate. In the House, the bill passed by 260 to 165 and 59 to 30 in the Senate. <P> In all from 1941 until the end of the war the Lend-Lease Act cost the United States almost $51 billion, with the majority going to Great Britain, the Soviet Union, France, China and Brazil. The U.S. also received billions of dollars worth of goods through reverse lend-lease. When the Lend-Lease Act came before Congress it fell along party lines, with the Lend-Lease Act passing largely due to a majority of Democrats in both the House and Senate. In the House, the bill passed by 260 to 165 and 59 to 30 in the Senate. <P> Passed on March 11, 1941, this act set up a system that would allow the United States to lend or lease war supplies to any nation deemed vital to the defense of the United States.. <P> Without Lend-Lease, the Soviet people would have had to make even greater sacrifices and would have suffered even more deaths. The American Lend-Lease aid program was passed by the United States Congress in March of 1941 originally to support the war effort in Great Britain. American public and congressional opinion at first resisted the idea of extending the aid to the Soviet Union. During World War II the United States shipped an enormous amount of aid to the Soviet Union through the Lend-Lease program. The significance of this aid to the Soviet war effort has long been debated. <P> The Lend-Lease Act of 1941 was a program instituted by the United States of America and signed by President Franklin Roosevelt on March 11, 1941; 4 months before the United States became directly involved in World War II. When the Lend-Lease Act came before Congress it fell along party lines, with the Lend-Lease Act passing largely due to a majority of Democrats in both the House and Senate.

how to assess breathing rate | <P> How to Measure and Record Respiratory Rate. Respiration is the process that occurs when oxygen is inhaled into the lungs, converted into energy via a chemical reaction and expelled as carbon dioxide. Normal respiration is an automatic process and does not require conscious effort. <P> Begin the respiratory assessment by counting your patient s respiratory rate and simply observing his breathing pattern. Don t tell the patient you are counting his respirations, as that may alter <P> The respiratory rate is the number of breaths that a patient takes each minute. The rate should be taken when the patient is at rest, and it is assessed by counting the number of times the chest rises in one minute. <P> Observe the rise and fall of the victim's chest and count the number of respirations out loud for one full minute. One respiration consists of one complete rise and fall of the chest, or the inhalation and exhalation of air. The normal respiratory rate for a healthy adult at rest is 12-to-20 breaths per minute. <P> When someone breathes, they breathe in oxygen and then breathe out carbon dioxide. The breathing rate, or the number of times that a person breathes in and out in 1 minute, is often checked by health care professionals to determine the health of a person. The normal breathing rate is between 12 and 18 breaths per minute. Many factors affect a person's breathing. <P> Measuring respirations. The respiratory rate is the number of breaths that a patient takes each minute. The rate should be taken when the patient is at rest, and it is assessed by counting the number of times the chest rises in one minute. Common factors that influence respiration rate are as follows: <P> Step 1. Stand or sit facing the person whose pulse rate and respiration rate you are to measure. Step 2. Select a site to measure the pulse. The two chief options are on the person’s wrist, just below the thumb, or on the neck, on either side of the person’s windpipe. | By counting the number of times the chest rises in one minute. |
who were the anglo saxons ks2 | <P> 1 Egbert was the first Anglo-Saxon king to rule England. 2 The last Anglo-Saxon king was Harold II in 1066. 3 The two most famous Anglo-Saxon kings are Alfred the Great and Canute the Great. 4 The Anglo-Saxon period covers about 600 years, and Anglo-Saxon kings ruled England for about 300 years. Vikings from the east were still invading England during the time of the Anglo-Saxons. Sometimes, instead of fighting the Vikings, people would pay them money to leave them in peace. This payment is called Danegeld. Alfred the Great was based in the kingdom of Wessex, and his palace was in Winchester. <P> For over 600 years the Anglo-Saxons were settled in Britain replacing many of the Roman stone buildings with new buildings of their own.

definition of syphilis | <P> Other human diseases caused by related Treponema pallidum include yaws (subspecies pertenue), pinta (subspecies carateum), and bejel (subspecies endemicum). The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary). Gummatous syphilis or late benign syphilis usually occurs 1 to 46 years after the initial infection, with an average of 15 years. This stage is characterized by the formation of chronic gummas, which are soft, tumor-like balls of inflammation which may vary considerably in size. <P> Noun. 1. syphilis-a common venereal disease caused by the treponema pallidum spirochete; symptoms change through progressive stages; can be congenital (transmitted through the placenta). lues, lues venerea, pox, syph. Word History: When syphilis began to ravage Europe in the late 1400s, it was described with such terms as the Neapolitan disease, Spanish disease, and French disease, according to national prejudices of the person discussing the illness. <P> Syphilis is caused by a spirochete, Treponema pallidum. A spirochete is a thin spiralor coil-shaped bacterium that enters the body through the mucous membranes or breaks in the skin. In 90% of cases, the spirochete is transmitted by sexual contact. Primary syphilis is the stage of the organism's entry into the body. The first signs of infection are not always noticed. After an incubation period ranging between 10 and 90 days, the patient develops a chancre, which is a small blister-like sore about 0.5 in (13 mm) in size. <P> Latent syphilis. Latent syphilis is a phase of the disease characterized by relative absence of external symptoms. The term latent does not mean that the disease is not progressing or that the patient cannot infect others. For example, pregnant women can transmit syphilis to their unborn children during the latency period. Primary syphilis is the stage of the organism's entry into the body.

how long does alcohol stay in your bloodstream for a blood test | <P> One unit is equal to 10 ml of one hundred per cent alcohol. That is about 30 ml of whiskey or 236 ml of beer. The average bottle of beer holds 330 ml. [ 7 ] Normally, it takes the body an hour to break down a single unit of alcohol. If a person drinks 250 ml of wine, it would take three hours for the body to metabolize the alcohol. A 500 ml beer would take about two hours. But a strong 500ml strong beer would take much longer since it contains about three units of alcohol. <P> Concerning how long does alcohol stay in blood? The higher the amount of alcohol intake goes the longer it is estimated to stay in the blood stream. In some cases it takes from 12 to 24 hours for a body to completely show a negative result in the blood test for alcohol. <P> Report Abuse. Alcohol is absorbed into the blood stream and can leave the body either through metabolism or through urine, breath and perspiration. About ninety percent of alcohol remain in the blood stream and needs to leave the body through metabolism alone. How long alcohol stays in the blood stream of a person depends on the rate of metabolism. The rate at which alcohol is metabolized is about .015 BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) in an hour. Accordingly, a person with blood alcohol concentration of .15 becomes totally free of alcohol content in his bloodstream after about ten hours. There is no way to speed up alcohol metabolism. <P> One serving of alcohol is fully absorbed into the blood stream within 30 minutes to 2 hours after intake. This is because the body can metabolize about 0.25 ounces of alcohol per hour. However, the effects of alcohol vary by individual and by how much alcohol they drink in one session. <P> Adding up your units. If you drink a large (250ml) glass of wine, your body takes about three hours to break down the alcohol. If you drink one pint of beer, your body takes about two hours to break it down. One pint of strong lager is equivalent to three units, so this will take longer. However, this time can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. If you have a few drinks during a night out, it can take many hours for the alcohol to leave your body. The alcohol could still be in your blood the next day. This means that if you drive the day after an evening of drinking, you could be over the legal alcohol limit. <P> Do not drink: Blood alcohol levels will not be abnormal at 24 hours after a drink. However there are other tests that can detect alcohol intake up to 80 hours earlier. It would depend on what test is being done. Some tests are positive for two weeks after the drink in a chronic drinker. See this site for info. http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh28-1/30-37.pdf ...Read more. Depends on the: Test concerned. Blood alcohol will dissipate in about 24 hours or less. Other changes in blood components, e.g. Carbohydrate deficient transferrin may be abnormal for up to two weeks, particularly after drinking for a few days. <P> Best Answer: They shouldn't. Let me explain. Alcohol in the blood is detected for a matter of hours and completely depends on how much alcohol you consume over a specific period of time. Heavy consumption of alcohol over a few hour time span can be detected in the blood for around 10-12 hours. IE: For example, you drink 6 beers over 2 hours -- You would likely test positive for alcohol for about 6 hours. The rule of thumb is 1 hour per Beer (or 1 shot of 80 proof liquor). The breathalyzer used by police is very close to what a blood test would detect and for the same <P> After 4 hours – your BAC would be 0.02. After 5 hours – your BAC would be 0.005. Alcohol would be eliminated from the body at about 5 hours and 20 minutes (the body metabolizes alcohol at the rate of about 0.005 per twenty minutes, as 0.005 x 3 = 0.015). So it is easy to tell when your body will be free of alcohol. <P> Obviously lesser consumption will result in a lower Blood Alcohol Level and the body will eliminate the alcohol quicker .. IE: For example, you drink 6 beers over 2 hours -- You would likely test positive for alcohol for about 6 hours. The rule of thumb is 1 hour per Beer (or 1 shot of 80 proof liquor).

Darker skin has more melanin and more protection. <P> Melanoma: The most dangerous form of skin cancer, a malignancy of the melanocyte, the cell that produces pigment in the skin. <P> Melanoma is cancer that begins in cells that become melanocytes, which are specialized cells that make melanin (the pigment that gives skin its color). Most melanomas form on the skin, but melanomas can also form in other pigmented tissues, such as the eye. <P> Definition of Melanoma. Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer. It begins in the pigment cells (melanocytes, see diagram right) that produce skin color. Most melanomas can be treated successfully if they are detected at an early stage. <P> Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is a type of cancer that develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. Melanomas typically occur in the skin but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye. In women they most commonly occur on the legs, while in men they are most common on the back. <P> : a tumor of high malignancy that starts in melanocytes of normal skin or moles and metastasizes rapidly and widely—called also malignant melanoma, melanocarcinoma, melanoepithelioma, melanosarcoma. <P> malignant melanoma a malignant skin tumor, usually developing from a nevus and consisting of dark masses of cells with a marked tendency to metastasis. It is not common, but its incidence is increasing and it is the most aggressive type of skin cancer. | Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that arises from melanocytes-the cells that produce pigment. |
what does digestive system do | <P> The two main types of digestion is chemical and physical digestion. Physical digestion is the physical breakdown of food, using your teeth, called mastication. Chemical digestion uses different fluids and chemicals in your body to break down the food further, such as pepsin and hydrochloric acid. It is then pushed to the rectum which is the last part of the large intestine, then out the anus and into your toilet. The digestive system refers to the system from the mouth to the bowels. It is the system that the body used to draw nutrients from food and to eliminate waste. <P> In the human digestive system, the process of digestion has many stages, the first of which starts in the mouth (oral cavity). Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components which can be absorbed and assimilated into the body. Saliva functions initially in the digestive system to moisten and soften food into the formation of a bolus. The bolus is further helped by the lubrication provided by the saliva in its passage from the mouth into the oesophagus. <P> Also called the throat, the pharynx is the portion of the digestive tract that receives the food from your mouth. Branching off the pharynx is the esophagus, which carries food to the stomach, and the trachea or windpipe, which carries air to the lungs. Stop 2: The Pharynx and Esophagus. Also called the throat, the pharynx is the portion of the digestive tract that receives the food from your mouth. Branching off the pharynx is the esophagus, which carries food to the stomach, and the trachea or windpipe, which carries air to the lungs. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4. <P> The digestive system is the path that the food taht you eat follows so that your body can get all of the nutrients out of it. It begins in your mouth, goes through your aosophagus, through your stomach and then small and large intestine and then to your anus as poo or your urethra as urine. It is then pushed to the rectum which is the last part of the large intestine, then out the anus and into your toilet. The digestive system refers to the system from the mouth to the bowels.

Your digestive system is uniquely designed to turn the food you eat into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth and cell repair. <P> The main parts of the digestive system are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gull bladder, and pancreas. Food does not actually pass thro … ugh the liver, gull bladder and pancreas, but they do produce a green liquid called bile that helps digestion.

It is the system that the body used to draw nutrients from food and to eliminate waste. <P> Stop 1: The Mouth. The mouth is the beginning of the digestive system, and, in fact, digestion starts here before you even take the first bite of a meal. The smell of food triggers the salivary glands in your mouth to secrete saliva, causing your mouth to water. When you actually taste the food, saliva increases. Stop 2: The Pharynx and Esophagus. Also called the throat, the pharynx is the portion of the digestive tract that receives the food from your mouth.

Your Digestive System. Your digestive system is uniquely designed to turn the food you eat into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth and cell repair. Here's how it works <P> The digestive system is a group of organs working together to convert food into energy and basic nutrients to feed the entire body. Food passes through a long tube inside the body known as the alimentary canal or the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). The digestive system uses 3 main processes to move and mix food: 1 Swallowing. 2 Swallowing is the process of using smooth and skeletal muscles in the mouth, tongue, and pharynx to push food out of the mouth, through the pharynx, and into the esophagus. | They do produce a green liquid called bile that helps digestion.t is then pushed to the rectum which is the last part of the large intestine, then out the anus and into your toilet.

what is sgpt | <P> Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase is the full form of SGPT. It is an enzyme which is normally present in liver and heart cells. When the heart or liver are damaged in any person then SGPT is released into blood. <P> Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT). Guide. An alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood. ALT is found mainly in the liver, but also in smaller amounts in the kidneys, heart, muscles, and pancreas. ALT was formerly called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). ALT is measured to see if the liver is damaged or diseased. Low levels of ALT are normally found in the blood. But when the liver is damaged or diseased, it releases ALT into the bloodstream, which makes ALT levels go up. <P> SGOT and SGPT. Liver function tests are one of the blood tests that are most commonly performed to assess the function of the liver or injury caused to the liver. Liver damage is detected initially by performing a simple blood test that determines the level of various liver enzymes present in the blood. <P> It is a known fact that the elevated levels of SGPT is the indication of the existence of different other medical problems like viral hepatitis, liver damage, bile duct problems, congestive heart failure, infectious mononucleosis or myopathy. SGPT is also known by the name of ALT (Alanine Transaminase). <P> SGPT is released into blood when the liver or heart are damaged. The blood SGPT levels are thus elevated with liver damage (for example, from viral hepatitis) or with an insult to the heart (for example, from a heart attack). Some medications can also raise SGPT levels. Also called alanine aminotransferase (ALT). <P> The term SGPT stands for Serum Glutamic Pyruvate Transaminase. This is an enzyme that is found in the cells of the liver. It is also commonly known as Alanine Transaminase, abbreviated as ALT. In a normally healthy individual, the level of SGPT is measurable in the blood. | Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase is an enzyme which is normally present in liver and heart cells. |

what habitat do crossbill live in | <P> CONSERVATION STATUS. The Red Crossbill has a large range, estimated globally at 10,000,000 square kilometers. Native to North and Central America as well as Europe and Asia, this bird prefers temperate forest ecosystems, though it can reside in urban areas. The global population of this bird is estimated at 15,000,000 individuals and does not show signs of decline that would necessitate inclusion on the IUCN Red List. <P> Common crossbill. Common crossbills have a distinctively shaped beak that gives them their name. Folklore tells that the crossbill got its beak when it attempted to remove the nails from Jesus' hands and feet as he was crucified on the cross. The crossed bill enables crossbills to pull pine seeds out of pine cones. <P> For the medical condition, see torticollis. The crossbill is a genus, Loxia, of birds in the finch family (Fringillidae), with three to five (or possibly many more) species. These birds are characterised by the mandibles with crossed tips, which gives the group its English name. <P> Sea animals and plants and other organisms living in water is said to live in Aquatic habitat.In these habitats we find many animals like-shark,octopus,whales,squids etc. We … also find many types of water plants and other organisms. Koalas live in a range of habitats, as long as there are abundant eucalyptus trees of the sort they prefer. They are found on coastal islands, tall eucalypt forests, bushland and low woodlands inland. <P> HABITAT. The largest red crossbill populations are in coniferous forests that extend from Scandinavia east to Siberia and in northern North America. Known as boreal forest, this densely wooded area is snowbound for half of the year, but it has a vast number of cone-bearing spruce and fir trees. The red crossbill has much in common with two other species of finch found in coniferous forests: the pine grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator) and the parrot crossbill (Loxia pytyopsittacus). All three species are strongly built for birds of their size, with a bull neck and stocky body. <P> Red Crossbill: Breeds from southern Alaska, Manitoba, Quebec, and Newfoundland, south in the west to northern Nicaragua, and in eastern U.S. to Wisconsin and North Carolina (in mountains). Spends winters irregularly south to the Gulf Coast; also in Eurasia. Native to North and Central America as well as Europe and Asia, this bird prefers temperate forest ecosystems, though it can reside in urban areas. The global population of this bird is estimated at 15,000,000 individuals and does not show signs of decline that would necessitate inclusion on the IUCN Red List. <P> Conservation status: Amber.

what are property rights in economics | <P> DEFINITION of 'Property Rights'. Laws created by governments in regards to how individuals can control, benefit from and transfer property. Economic theory contends that government enforcement of strong property rights is a determinant regarding the level of economic success seen in the area. <P> The Economists’ Oversight. In his book on the history of property rights, Tom Bethell examines the neglect of property rights in the economic literature. He concludes that the existence of private property was a presumption that underlay the work of the classical economists. <P> Lack of property rights. Markets are efficient at producing private goods, largely because producers and consumers have the right of ownership of the resources exchanged in an economic transaction involving a private good. However, markets are less efficient when property rights do not exist. <P> Executive Summary. Prosperity and property rights are inextricably linked. The importance of having well-defined and strongly protected property rights is now widely recognized among economists and policymakers. A private property system gives individuals the exclusive right to use their resources as they see fit. <P> Buy Now from Mises Store. Austrian economics puts private property at the center of its analysis of value, price, and exchange. Respect for private property is also implied by the fundamental moral principle, Do not steal.. <P> Property rights. In an economy, there needs to be clear laws regarding ownership of goods and services. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make any effective business; and issues such as theft and grabbing would be uncontrolled. There are four main components of property rights, and nearly all government policies and legislations seek to define property ownership by addressing these main components. Right to use the property. The essence of owning property is being able to use it in the way you want. <P> Private property is a legal designation of the ownership of property by non-governmental legal entities. Private property is distinguishable from public property, which is owned by a state entity; and collective property, which is owned by a group of non-governmental entities. Private property is further distinguished from personal property, which refers to property for personal use and consumption. <P> The property rights component is an assessment of the ability of individuals to accumulate private property, secured by clear laws that are fully enforced by the state. It measures the degree to which a country’s laws protect private property rights and the degree to which its government enforces those laws. 1 70 —Private property is guaranteed by the government. 2 The court system is subject to delays and is lax in enforcing contracts. 3 Corruption is possible but rare, and expropriation is unlikely. 4 60 —Enforcement of property rights is lax and subject to delays. | There needs to be clear laws regarding ownership of goods and services.

unsaturated hydrocarbon examples | <P> Ethene, C2H4, is an example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Other examples of unsaturated compounds are benzene, C6H6, and acetic acid, C2H4O2. All bond angles about the carbon-carbon double bond are 120o. All atoms bonded to the double bonded carbon atoms lie in the same plane. An alkene is a hydrocarbon containing double bonds. The general formula of an alkene is CnH2n. An alkyne is a hydrocarbon containing triple bonds. The general formula of an alkyne is CnH2n-2. <P> 1. Alkanes-Are saturated hydrocarbons that therefore contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms bonded to each other, and typically follow the chemical formula C n H 2n+2. A common example is paraffin. 2. Alkenes-These unsaturated hydrocarbons are molecules that contain at least one carbon-to-carbon double bond. With the chemical formula consisting of molecules of C n H 2n, alkenes are very common in the petrochemical industry; the simplest alkene is ethylene, or ethane. 3 <P> Alkanes are an example of saturated compounds. An unsaturated compound is a chemical compound that contains carbon-carbon double bonds or triple bonds, such as those found in alkenes or alkynes, respectively. Saturated and unsaturated compounds need not consist only of a carbon atom chain. <P> Unsaturated hydrocarbons are compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, with one or more carbon-carbon double or triple bond in their chemical structure. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are commonly used in many industrial processes for the production of pesticides, fuel, paints, lacquers and more. Hydrocarbons are compounds that only consist of the elements hydrogen and carbon. In this lesson, we will focus on one type of hydrocarbon: unsaturated hydrocarbons, and its three types-alkenes, alkynes and aromatic hydrocarbons. <P> Unsaturated hydrocarbons are compounds that consist only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) and contain at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond.

what is proptosis in the eye | <P> by admin Leave a Comment. Proptosis is the condition of bulging eyes which is inherited by birth. In some cases it may develop due to thyroid problems. It can be unilateral which is bulging out of one eye and bilateral in which both the eyes are bulging. It is a clear indication for protruding eyes. Some of the other signs of proptosis are discomfort in opening and closing the eyes, difficulty in sleeping or blinking, dryness of eyes, discomfort or pain in making eye movements, scarring seen inside the eyes and excess of white part on the eyes. <P> Exophthalmos. Taken from the Greek (literally meaning 'with prominent eyes'), exophthalmos is a condition in which either one or both eyeballs bulge out or protrude from the eye socket. Many different conditions can lead to exophthalmos, which is also known as proptosis. Eye health centre <P> proptosis. Abnormal forward displacement of one eye. It is a sign of a severe orbital disorder, such as a tumour, inflammation, or thyroid eye disease. See orbital cellulitis; Graves' disease; exophthalmometer; exophthalmos; carotid-venous fistula. Protrusion of one or both eyeballs; can be congenital and familial, or due to pathology, such as a retroorbital tumor (usually unilateral) or thyroid disease (usually bilateral). Synonym(s): proptosis. [G. ex, out, + ophthalmos, eye]. /prop·to·sis/ (prop-to´sis) forward displacement or bulging, especially of the eye. <P> (May 2010). Exophthalmos (also called exophthalmus, exophthalmia, proptosis, or exorbitism) is a bulging of the eye anteriorly out of the orbit. Exophthalmos can be either bilateral (as is often seen in Graves' disease) or unilateral (as is often seen in an orbital tumor). In the case of Graves' disease, the displacement of the eye is due to abnormal connective tissue deposition in the orbit and extraocular muscles which can be visualized by CT or MRI. If left untreated, exophthalmos can cause the eyelids to fail to close during sleep leading to corneal dryness and damage. <P> This is a problem with the eyes also commonly known as exophthalmos. This is a condition where 1 or both of the eyes bulge out. There are some individuals who have eyes that seem to bulge naturally because of disparities in the human anatomy. Other individuals can develop this problem. The 2nd most common cancer type is melanoma. Glaucoma also is a severe disorder categorized by a rise in the pressure inside the eyeball. This can lead to protrusion and enlargement of eyes outside the exterior of the eye socket. Bleeding or hemorrhage also can cause the eyeball to bulge. <P> Proptosis, or exophthalmos, is the bulging out of one eye (unilateral) or both eyes (bilateral). Reviewed by. Michael Garin O.D. Proptosis, or exophthalmos, is the bulging out of one eye (unilateral) or both eyes (bilateral). Cases of proptosis develop for reasons ranging from variations in our anatomy to the development of another condition such as hyperthyroidism, of which bulging eyes are a symptom. If a person suddenly develops exophthalmos, especially in both eyes, it is considered a very serious problem <P> slide 1 of 7. Proptosis is a bulging of the eyeball from the socket from one or both eyes. Unilateral or any asymmetrical protrusion or bulging of one eye by at least 2 millimeters is one way of recognizing the protrusion. The normal upper limit is 22 mm for whites, 24 mm for blacks, 21 mm for Asians, and 19.7 mm for Hispanics. <P> Proptosis in Dogs. Proptosis is a medical condition which causes a dog's eye to move forward. This typically noticeable (and unseemly) medical condition is frequently associated with head trauma, and often threatens the dog's vision. <P> Knowledge center. Exophthalmos, or exophthalmia, is a protruding eyeball anteriorly out of the orbit (eye socket). The Greek word ophthalmos means eye and the Greek word ex means out.

what was the titanic made out of | <P> By Bob McDonald, Quirks & Quarks. Studies of the steel that made up the hull and rivets of Titanic have shown that the ship was made with lower-grade metals that were more brittle, suggesting that lives might have been saved had the vessel been constructed with better material. <P> No, the name Titanic just referred to it's large size. Titanium got it's name from the Titans of Greek Mythology. Titanium is as strong as steel, but 45% lighter so it would be a good replacement for steel if itwasn't so expensive. Titanium was not used outside a laboratory until 1946. <P> The Titanic-Construction. Last Updated: 08/14/2014 - 16:49. Titanic was built in Belfast by the shipbuilding company Harland and Wolff. The company was owned by Lord Pirrie, a friend of Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line (pictured below, left). The chief designer of the Titanic was his son-in-law, Thomas Andrews (pictured below right). <P> About the ship. The RMS Titanic was built by the White Star line, which was a competitor to another shipbuilding company, Cunard. In 1907, Cunard made major waves by building the Lusitania and the Mauretania, which set speed records crossing the Atlantic. <P> RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning of 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK, to New York City, US. 1 The Boat Deck, on which the lifeboats were housed. 2 It was from here during the early hours of 15 April 1912 that Titanic ' s lifeboats were lowered into the North Atlantic. 3 The bridge and wheelhouse were at the forward end, in front of the captain's and officers' quarters. <P> The RMS Titanic, the largest ship afloat at the time it entered service, was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line, and was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast with Thomas Andrews as her naval architect. Andrews was among those lost in the sinking. 1 The Boat Deck, on which the lifeboats were housed. 2 It was from here during the early hours of 15 April 1912 that Titanic ' s lifeboats were lowered into the North Atlantic. 3 The bridge and wheelhouse were at the forward end, in front of the captain's and officers' quarters. <P> The wreck of Titanic remains on the seabed, split in two and gradually disintegrating at a depth of 12,415 feet (3,784 m).

The sinking of the Titanic on the 15 th of April, 1912 was one of the most news breaking and shocking events of the early 20 th century. At the time of construction, the Titanic was the largest ship ever built, and used revolutionary design and technology to give it an unsinkable status. Many combining factors led to the magnitude of the disaster, including lack of lifeboats, flaws in the design of the ship and negligence of the crew | The ship was made with lower-grade metals that were more brittle, suggesting that lives might have been saved had the vessel been constructed with better material. |
how long do alcohol withdrawal last | <P> The acute alcohol withdrawal usually is over within 5-8 days but some people suffer from depressions, sleep disturbances and other diffuse symptoms for weeks or even months after a long period of drinking. Alcohol withdrawal is caused when you interrupt constant exposure of alcohol to the central nervous system. Sometimes, withdrawal can be confused with a hangover, especially when hangover duration lasts more than a couple of days. <P> These may not necessarily be signs of alcohol withdrawal, your symptoms are also warning signs of taking tenormin. Withdrawal can last anywhere for a couple of weeks to a couple months, depending on how much and how often you drank. I think typically 30 to 50 days most people are through the worst of it. Alcohol withdrawal is caused when you interrupt constant exposure of alcohol to the central nervous system. Sometimes, withdrawal can be confused with a hangover, especially when hangover duration lasts more than a couple of days. <P> • Anxiety. • Irritability. • Depression. Symptoms may begin within a few hours after the last time alcohol was consumed and may last up to 48 to 72 hours. It is important to note that psychological withdrawal may continue long after the physical symptoms subside. <P> The withdrawal can begin anywhere from a few hours from the last drink all the way into the span of months, although the withdrawal symptoms are not consistently severe throughout the entire span of time. How long the withdrawal lasts varies from one person to another, and symptoms may overlap. Alcohol withdrawal occurs in stages, according to eMedicineHealth. Keep in mind that every person has varying tolerances as well as varying physical reactions, but there is a general timeline for how long the stages of alcohol withdrawal will last. <P> Alcohol withdrawal symptoms generally begin when an individual stops consuming alcohol. Depending on how much alcohol you consume, how often you drink alcohol and how long you have been drinking; your withdrawal symptoms may begin within a few hours of your last alcohol use, or they may begin with a few days. It may be comforting to know that some people never experience withdrawal symptoms. If you are wondering “ how long does alcohol withdrawal last ,” and if it is preventing you from getting help, here is some information that may help to put your fears to rest. Of course the best resource for you is to consult with your doctor. <P> Withdrawal usually begins 6 to 8 hours following a reduction in alcohol use, peaks 24 to 28 hours after the last drink, and can last up to 7 days. After you withdraw from alcohol, however, you can and may experience disrupted sleep patterns or changes in attention and concentration days to months after the last drink. Alcohol withdrawal is caused when you interrupt constant exposure of alcohol to the central nervous system. Sometimes, withdrawal can be confused with a hangover, especially when hangover duration lasts more than a couple of days. <P> For most people, the worst of the symptoms occur around two to four days after the last drink. Most individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms for around a week, though this will depend on the individual. Let’s take a look at a typical alcohol withdrawal timeline for a long-time, heavy alcohol abuser: Note: that not all people will experience all of these symptoms. The severity of your symptoms will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity of your drinking problem. Contents. 1 1 Timeline. 2 1.1 5-10 Hours After Your Last Drink: Tremors and anxiety. <P> Symptoms of Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome. In general, how severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms become depends on how much and for how long a person has been drinking. Minor alcohol withdrawal symptoms often appear 6 to 12 hours after a person stops drinking. Sometimes a person will still have a measurable blood alcohol level when symptoms start. <P> Detoxification (detox) from alcohol varies in length and severity depending on the amount and length of time the alcohol has been consumed. Symptoms will be both mental and physical beginning very shortly after the last drink. Within hours, a heavy drinker will begin to have signs of withdrawal. DTs. Delirium tremens (DTs) can begin within 3 to 5 days after an alcoholic quits drinking. People who drink heavily on a daily basis should be hospitalized so that doctors can monitor for the DTs, which appear as confusion, hyperactivity and extreme blood pressure hikes. <P> How long alcohol withdrawal lasts depends on several factors, especially how long the person has used alcohol and to what extent the person had developed a chemical dependency upon this particular drug.

what is the artery called that carries blood from the heart to the lungs | <P> Capillaries, the smallest and most numerous of the blood vessels, form the connection between the vessels that carry blood away from the heart (arteries) and the vessels that return blood to the heart (veins). The primary function of capillaries is the exchange of materials between the blood and tissue cells. <P> Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Pulmonary arteries transport blood that has a low oxygen content from the right ventricle to the lungs. Systemic arteries transport oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body tissues. <P> There are two types of blood vessels in the circulatory system of the body: arteries that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to various parts of the body and veins that carry blood towards the heart for purification. <P> The aorta carries oxygenated blood to the body. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs and it is the only artery to carry deoxygenated blood. There are two veins associated with the heart. The vena cava, or great vein, carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the body. <P> The pulmonary trunk, which splits into the pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated (oxygen-poor) blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to drop off its carbon … dioxide and pick up fresh oxygen. <P> Pulmonary Circulation. Pulmonary circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system which carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart. It is what the Pulmonary Artery and the Pulmonary Veins do. <P> Arteries. The arteries are major blood vessels connected to your heart. 1 The pulmonary artery carries blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs to pick up a fresh supply of oxygen. 2 The aorta is the main artery that carries oxygen-rich blood from the left side of the heart to the body. <P> Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Is is what the arteries and veins do. | cardiovascular system |
what is the difference between maven and jenkins | <P> A maven project is a project that will analyze the pom.xml file in greater detail and produce a project that's geared towards the targets that are invoked. The maven project is smart enough to incorporate build targets like the javadoc or test targets and automatically setup the reports for those targets. <P> A Free-Style project is a project that can incorporate almost any type of build. While a maven project you can only build maven projects, the Free-Style project is the more generic form of a project. You can execute shell/dos scripts, invoke ant, and a lot more. Majority of the plugins are written to use the free-style project. <P> Maven is more like a replacement for Ant. It gives basic support for build and version control, JUnit tests, etc... you define what you want to do in a pom.xml file. Jenkins itself doen't support build / version control or JUnit, but rather it calls the pom.xml file you have defined in your project. <P> If we need to compare Maven and Jenkins or Hudson, following would be my list of differences between Maven and Hudson or Jenkins : 1) Main difference between Maven and Jenkins or Hudson is that Maven is a build tool which knows how to build project and Jenkins or Hudson provides trigger to build. You can control when to trigger build automatically using Jenkins or Hudson or any CI tool. <P> Jenkins is a continuous integration suite that checks your code out of a repository, builds and packages it, and dumps it out to a server so you can test it-all hands-off. It can use Maven or Ant as its build tool. In summary, Jenkins can use Maven as its build tool for continuous integration. <P> Also one more difference between ANT and Maven is that, Maven is more than just a build tool, it act as project management tool and can generate reports etc, Though I have yet to use this feature. Jenkins and Hudson are Continuous Integration tool, commonly known as CI frameworks. <P> In short, though Maven and ANT are build tool but main difference is that maven also provides dependency management, standard project layout and project management. On difference between Maven, ANT and Jenkins, later is a continuous integration tool which is much more than build tool. You can setup your CI environment using Jenkins or Hudson and automatically build, test and deploy your Java project. | Maven is a build tool which knows how to build project and jenkins provides trigger to build. You can control when to trigger build automatically using Jenkins or Hudson or any CI tool. |

what is quantum computing and how does it work | <P> The quantum computer's main drawback is the same as its strength: quantum decoherence. The qubit calculations are performed while the quantum wave function is in a state of superposition between states, which is what allows it to perform the calculations using both 1 & 0 states simultaneously. The ability of a quantum computer to perform multiple computations simultaneously (or in parallel, in computer terms) is called quantum parallelism). The exact physical mechanism at work within the quantum computer is somewhat theoretically complex and intuitively disturbing. <P> To be more specific, the field of quantum information studies the implications that quantum mechanics has on the fundamental nature of information. By studying this relationship between quantum theory and information, it is possible to design a new type of computer— a quantum computer. By learning how to think about the smallest quantum computers, it becomes possible to get a feeling for how and why larger quantum computers are so powerful. To that end, this article is divided into three parts: Single qubits. The quantum bit, or qubit, is the simplest unit of quantum <P> This video was supported by TechNYou: http://bit.ly/19bBX5G. A quantum computer works in a totally different way from a classical computer. Quantum bits or 'qubits' can exist in a superposition state of both zero and one simultaneously. This means that a set of two qubits can be in a superposition of four states, which therefore require four numbers to uniquely identify the state. So the amount of information stored in N qubits is two to the power of N classical bits. Thank you to Andrea Morello and UNSW. <P> Quantum computing studies theoretical computation systems (quantum computers) that make direct use of quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. Quantum computers are different from digital computers based on transistors. There exist quantum algorithms, such as Simon's algorithm, that run faster than any possible probabilistic classical algorithm. Given sufficient computational resources, however, a classical computer could be made to simulate any quantum algorithm, as quantum computation does not violate the Church–Turing thesis. <P> The field of quantum computing was initiated by the work of Paul Benioff and Yuri Manin in 1980, Richard Feynman in 1982, and David Deutsch in 1985. A quantum computer with spins as quantum bits was also formulated for use as a quantum space–time in 1968. There exist quantum algorithms, such as Simon's algorithm, that run faster than any possible probabilistic classical algorithm. Given sufficient computational resources, however, a classical computer could be made to simulate any quantum algorithm, as quantum computation does not violate the Church–Turing thesis. <P> Large-scale quantum computers will be able to solve certain problems much more quickly than any classical computers that use even the best currently known algorithms, like integer factorization using Shor's algorithm or the simulation of quantum many-body systems. There exist quantum algorithms, such as Simon's algorithm, that run faster than any possible probabilistic classical algorithm. Given sufficient computational resources, however, a classical computer could be made to simulate any quantum algorithm, as quantum computation does not violate the Church–Turing thesis. <P> How D-Wave Systems Work. Quantum computing uses an entirely different approach than classical computing. A useful analogy is to think of a landscape with mountains and valleys. Solving optimization problems can be thought of as trying to find the lowest point on this landscape. <P> Quantum computers have the potential to perform certain calculations significantly faster than any silicon-based computer. Scientists have already built basic quantum computers that can perform certain calculations; but a practical quantum computer is still years away. In this article, you'll learn what a quantum computer is and just what it'll be used for in the next era of computing. You don't have to go back too far to find the origins of quantum computing. While computers have been around for the majority of the 20th century, quantum computing was first theorized less than 30 years ago, by a physicist at the Argonne National Laboratory. <P> A quantum computer is a computer design which uses the principles of quantum physics to increase the computational power beyond what is attainable by a traditional computer. Quantum computers have been built on the small scale and work continues to upgrade them to more practical models. The ability of a quantum computer to perform multiple computations simultaneously (or in parallel, in computer terms) is called quantum parallelism). The exact physical mechanism at work within the quantum computer is somewhat theoretically complex and intuitively disturbing. <P> Photo: Quantum computing means storing and processing information using individual atoms, ions, electrons, or photons. On the plus side, this opens up the possibility of faster computers, but the drawback is the greater complexity of designing computers that can operate in the weird world of quantum physics. | A quantum computer is a computer design which uses the principles of quantum physics to increase the computational power beyond what is attainable by a traditional computer.

common autoimmune diseases | <P> Overall, autoimmune diseases are common, affecting more than 23.5 million Americans. They are a leading cause of death and disability. Yet some autoimmune diseases are rare, while others, such as Hashimoto's disease, affect many people. <P> Autoimmune diseases are caused by the overreaction of an individual’s immune system. The immune system provides the body with protection from threats such as parasites, bacteria, fungus and viruses. In the case of an autoimmune disease, the body mistakes normal body tissue to be a threat and attacks it. <P> The most common autoimmune diseases are listed below. 1 Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: This is a chronic thyroditis condition that afflicts the thyroid gland, which is necessary for the production of hormones that regulate our body’s usage of energy or metabolism. 2 It often results in hypothyroidism. <P> Autoimmune Diseases. More than 80 diseases occur as a result of the immune system attacking the body’s own organs, tissues, and cells. Some of the more common autoimmune diseases include type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and inflammatory bowel disease. <P> The following are some of the more common autoimmune diseases: 1 rheumatoid arthritis: inflammation of joints and surrounding tissues. 2 systemic lupus erythematosus: affects skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs. <P> Common autoimmune diseases such as thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes affect more than 1 in 100 people. In contrast, a rare autoimmune disease such as Goodpasture’s disease (a form of vasculitis) affects around 1 in a million people. <P> About Autoimmune Disease.

The neck of the gallbladder is the narrower part that tapers into the cystic duct. The cystic duct, which is about 3 to 4 centimeters long (about 1 to 2 inches), carries bile into the common bile duct. The primary functions of the gallbladder relates to the storage and secretion of bile. 1 The gallbladder stores bile. 2 It is also able to concentrate the bile from the liver so that the a large volume of the bile constituents can be stored in a small space (1 liter of bile concentrated into 50 ml). <P> Gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped, hollow structure located under the liver and on the right side of the abdomen. Its primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a yellow-brown digestive enzyme produced by the liver. The gallbladder is part of the biliary tract. <P> The gallbladder (see the images below) is a relatively small but surgically important organ of the body. Cholecystectomy (open or laparoscopic surgical removal of the gallbladder as a treatment for stones) is one of the most common surgical procedures performed the world over. Liver and gallbladder, anterior view. The Calot triangle is formed by the undersurface of the liver, the cystic duct, and the right hepatic duct. The cystic artery gives off small branches to the cystic duct as well. It is not an end artery; blood supply comes to the gallbladder from the liver in the gallbladder bed also. <P> Anatomy of the Gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear shaped organ that is about 7 to 10 centimeters long (3 to 4 inches) and 2 to 3 centimeters wide (about 1 inch). It has the ability to hold about 50 milliliters of bile which can be emptied via the cystic duct (gallbladder duct) into the common bile duct. From here, the bile will empty into the lumen of the duodenum. This is explained in detail under Bile Duct Anatomy. The primary functions of the gallbladder relates to the storage and secretion of bile. 1 The gallbladder stores bile. 2 It is also able to concentrate the bile from the liver so that the a large volume of the bile constituents can be stored in a small space (1 liter of bile concentrated into 50 ml). <P> Gross Anatomy. The gallbladder is a piriform (pear-shaped) organ that straddles the undersurface of segments IVB and V of the liver. It has an inferior peritoneal surface and a superior hepatic surface that is closely applied to the gallbladder bed in the liver.

what is cauliflower ear treatment | <P> Cauliflower ear, or “hematoma auris”, is a collection of blood between the cartilage of the ear and the skin. When the ear lobe is repetitively struck or bent, as in taking a helmet on and off, the underlying cartilage is traumatized. A blood clot forms under the skin separating the skin from the underlying cartilage. Cauliflower ear is a very preventable condition but if left untreated may create problems down the line. The best way to beat cauliflower ear is prevention and early treatment. <P> Any trauma to the ear can cause it. Cauliflower ear can even be the result of an infection in the ear lobe. When blood flow is blocked, the affected cartilage may die and, without the supportive tissue, fold in on itself. Scar tissue may form, contributing to a swollen and deformed look. This results in a bumpy or lumpy appearance on part of the ear, similar to a cauliflower. Early treatment can help prevent permanent deformity. Fortunately, the types of injuries that cause cauliflower ear are often preventable by wearing the right type of protective head gear. <P> Cauliflower ear Definition. It is a malformation of the external ear that often results due to repeated blows. It is commonly seen in wrestlers, boxers, rugby players, and martial artists. Cauliflower-like ears also occur in some diseased animals such as dogs. The painful condition is also known by other names like: <P> In this article. The term cauliflower ear refers to a deformity of the ear caused by blunt trauma or other injury, such as what may occur during a boxing or wrestling match. Left untreated, the injury leads to a blockage that prevents blood flow and damages tissue. This results in a bumpy or lumpy appearance on part of the ear, similar to a cauliflower. Early treatment can help prevent permanent deformity. Fortunately, the types of injuries that cause cauliflower ear are often preventable by wearing the right type of protective head gear. <P> The Original Cauliflower Ear Treatment provides the necessary environment for healing. Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed**. Cauliflower ear or hematoma auris or perichondrial hematoma is a condition most common among wrestlers, rugby players, mixed martial artists, and 1920s boxers. If the external portion of the ear suffers a blow, a blood clot or other fluid may collect under the perichondrium <P> Causes of Cauliflower Ear. The most common cause of cauliflower ear is a hit to the ear -- or repeated hits to the ear -- that leads to hematomas, or small collections of blood that clot and block the flow of blood and nutrients. This results in a bumpy or lumpy appearance on part of the ear, similar to a cauliflower. Early treatment can help prevent permanent deformity. Fortunately, the types of injuries that cause cauliflower ear are often preventable by wearing the right type of protective head gear. <P> Cartilage damage may also result from piercing the upper ear in the cartilage. Piercing can lead to a type of ear cartilage infection called auricular perichondritis, which can result in cauliflower ear. An even more rare cause of cauliflower ear is from the inflammation of cartilage in relapsing polychondritis. When the ear is struck and a blood clot develops under the skin, or the skin is sheared from the cartilage, the connection of the skin to the cartilage is disrupted, causing cauliflower ear. The cartilage of the ear has no other blood supply except that supplied by the overlying skin. <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Cauliflower ear (complication of hematoma auris, perichondrial hematoma, or traumatic auricular hematoma) is a condition that occurs when the external portion of the ear suffers a blow, blood clot or other collection of fluid under the perichondrium. As a result, the outer ear becomes permanently swollen and deformed, resembling a cauliflower. The condition is most common among prize-fighters and martial arts competitors such as boxers, mixed martial artists, wrestlers, martial artists, and in full-contact sports such as rugby football. <P> Cauliflower ear is medically known as an auricular hematoma. The external ear is made of cartilage and it is the shape of the cartilage that gives the ear its distinctive shell-like shape. The cartilage is lined by perichondrium, a tight layer of connective tissue. Auricular hematoma/cauliflower ear occurs when the ear cartilage is injured (from a blow or other form of trauma). Trauma results in fluid or blood collecting between the perichondrium and the cartilage. This blood or fluid can become permanent and scarred, resulting in the appearance of cauliflower ear <P> Cauliflower ear, medically known as auricular hematoma, is a condition of the outer ear that can cause deformity to the external ear if left treated. The condition results in a distortion of the outer ear resulting in a deformity that looks like the outside of a “cauliflower” over time. | A condition that occurs when the external portion of the ear suffers a blow, blood clot or other collection of fluid under the perichondrium. |
average time to approve a business loan | <P> There are a lot of loan companies that will promise you anything to get your business. The best way to speed up the approval process is to complete the application paperwork correctly and supply the right documentation. <P> A loan approval process should take anywhere from 1 day to 1 month, depending on the size and type of loan applied for, as well as the credit risk and underwriting needed for the borrower. <P> In small business, time is money, and there’s nothing more frustrating than spending time waiting for money. When you apply for a small business loan, there are a number of factors that help to determine how long it will take for your loan to be approved. <P> That said, in the banking industry the median small business loan is about $130,000 - $140,000 with highest around $250,000. SBA small business loans range from about $5,000 (microloans) to $5 million (largest guaranteed) with the average loan around $371,000. 5. <P> The length of time it will take you to get your SBA loan depends on how fast you return your completed application to the SBA. The amount of time it takes you to receive your loan is also dependent on the loan program you choose. <P> The micro loan, which will grant a small business up to $35,000, is usually the quickest type of SBA loan to get approved, but it might take longer to actually receive the cash. From other sources, a small business loan can approved in as little as 24 hours. A quick internet search will reveal a number of places that advertise approvals in between 24 and 72 hours from the time the correct paperwork is submitted. Of course, as with most dealings on the internet, you need to be wary of scams. <P> When applying for a business loan, it's essential to prepare a detailed business plan and fully inform the lender about your proposed venture. This information helps the lender to provide you with the right type of finance and advice. <P> Basic Loan Guaranty is the most popular SBA loan. You may use loan proceeds in any business-building manner.

what are the main structures inside the kidneys called | <P> Summary. Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fists. They are located near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. Inside each kidney about a million tiny structures called nephrons filter blood. They remove waste products and extra water, which become urine. <P> The major calices then converge into a funnel-like cavity called the renal pelvis. The renal pelvis, which is attached to the indented side of the kidney anatomy (hilum), extends into the ureter. The ureter is a long narrow duct (tube) that conveys urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. <P> All blood in the body flows through the kidneys every 10 minutes, so your blood is filtered for toxins 150 times a day. Structure: A kidney has 2 distinct parts: the cortex on the outside and the medulla on the inside. The medulla leads into an area called the pelvis (sometimes called the renal pelvis). <P> Each of the million tiny nephrons in the kidney is a mass of even tinier tubules, as shown in the figure. The main part of the nephron consists of the proximal (near) and distal (far) convoluted tubules, which become the nephron’s collecting duct. Structure of the kidneys and the nephrons inside the kidneys. At the beginning of the proximal convoluted tubule is a ball-like structure made up of the glomerulus, which is the site where the nephron’s tubule intermingles with a capillary, and the glomerular capsule (also called Bowman’s capsule). <P> The internal structure of the kidney is divided into two main areas... a light outer area called the renal cortex, and a darker inner area called the renal medulla. Within the medulla there are eight (8) or more cone-shaped sections known as renal pyramids. <P> Function: To take urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The presence of urine inside them stimulates a mechanical contraction which propels the fluid forwards. Bladder Structure: Sometimes called the urinary bladder this is a sac-like organ in the pelvic cavity. <P> The renal pelvis, therefore, is a structure that collects urine formed in the kidney and channels it into the ureter. The ureter of each kidney is located in the renal hilum, which is a groove in the kidney where the ureter, renal artery, vein, and nerves are located. <P> In each kidney, there are one million of these structures, called nephrons. The nephron is the basic unit of the kidney. It's a long, thin tube that is closed at one end, has two twisted regions interspaced with a long hairpin loop, ends in a long straight portion and is surrounded by capillaries. | Renal medulla |
what is plaque buildup in arteries | <P> Coronary artery disease is caused by plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that supply blood to the heart (called coronary arteries). Plaque is made up of cholesterol deposits. Plaque buildup causes the inside of the arteries to narrow over time. This process is called atherosclerosis. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease in the United States. This process is called atherosclerosis. Too much plaque buildup and narrowed artery walls can make it harder for blood to flow through your body. When your heart muscle doesn’t get enough blood, you may have chest pain or discomfort, called angina. Angina is the most common symptom of CAD. <P> Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is a condition in which plaque builds up inside the arteries. Plaque is made of cholesterol, fatty substances, cellular waste products, calcium and fibrin (a clotting material in the blood). Atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis. Often a blood clot forms and blocks the artery, stopping the flow of blood. If the oxygen supply to the heart muscle is reduced, a heart attack can occur. If the oxygen supply to the brain is cut off, a stroke can occur. And if the oxygen supply to the extremities is reduced, gangrene can result. <P> This is plaque that builds up in arteries-the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrient-rich blood from your heart to your body’s tissues. Plaque in the arteries is a fatty, waxy substance that forms deposits in the artery wall. These deposits can narrow the artery and reduce blood flow. <P> Inflammation; chol: Cholesterol and inflammation cause plaque build up in arteries. There is also a genetic component. High blood pressure causes damage to interior walls of arteries which causes certain cells(macrophages) to move there to repair the damage. <P> Saturated fat is a main dietary culprit in the buildup of plaque in the arteries. As a result, experts suggest trying to keep saturated fat to less than 7% of total daily calories. A primary source of saturated fat is animal products. The Power of Food. Certain foods can cause the body to make too much of a waxy substance called cholesterol. Cholesterol can combine with fat, calcium, and other substances in the blood to form plaque. Plaque then slowly builds up and hardens in the arteries, causing them to narrow. This buildup of plaque, a condition called atherosclerosis, can lead to heart disease, heart attack, and stroke <P> Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart and other parts of your body. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, plaque hardens and narrows your arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body. Atherosclerosis can lead to serious problems, including heart attack, stroke, or even death. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart. Plaque narrows the coronary arteries and reduces blood flow to your heart muscle. Plaque buildup also makes it more likely that blood clots will form in your arteries. Blood clots can partially or completely block blood flow. If blood flow to your heart muscle is reduced or blocked, you may have angina (chest pain or discomfort) or a heart attack <P> Blocked arteries caused by plaque buildup and blood clots are the leading cause of death in the U.S. Reducing cholesterol and other risk factors can help prevent cholesterol plaques from forming. Occasionally, it can even reverse some plaque buildup. <P> CAD is caused by plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart (called coronary arteries) and other parts of the body. Plaque is made up of deposits of cholesterol and other substances in the artery. This process is called atherosclerosis. Too much plaque buildup and narrowed artery walls can make it harder for blood to flow through your body.

how does fluorescence occur | <P> The absorption of a photon of energy by a fluorophore, which occurs due to an interaction of the oscillating electric field vector of the light wave with charges (electrons) in the molecule, is an all or none phenomenon and can only occur with incident light of specific wavelengths known as absorption bands. <P> Fluorescence is a member of the ubiquitous luminescence family of processes in which susceptible molecules emit light from electronically excited states created by either a physical (for example, absorption of light), mechanical (friction), or chemical mechanism. <P> Excitation of a susceptible molecule by an incoming photon happens in femtoseconds (10E-15 seconds), while vibrational relaxation of excited state electrons to the lowest energy level is much slower and can be measured in picoseconds (10E-12 seconds). <P> Fluorescence is a member of the ubiquitous luminescence family of processes in which susceptible molecules emit light from electronically excited states created by either a physical (for example, absorption of light), mechanical (friction), or chemical mechanism. <P> Fluorescence occurs when an orbital electron of a molecule, atom, or nanostructure, relaxes to its ground state by emitting a photon from an excited singlet state : Excitation: Fluorescence (emission): Here is a generic term for photon energy with h = Planck's constant and = frequency of light. <P> Fluorescence is a process where a substance emits light as an effect of the absorption of light of a shorter wavelength. The difference in wavelengths is called Stoke’s Shift. In detail, fluorescence occurs if a substance absorbs light in the form of photons. This leads to a shift of electrons to a higher energy level. <P> As a consequence, fluorescence emission occurs exclusively from the lowest excited singlet state (S(1)), resulting in a spectrum that mirrors the ground to first excited state transition (350 nanometer peak) in quinine and not the entire absorption spectrum. <P> The process of phosphorescence occurs in a manner similar to fluorescence, but with a much longer excited state lifetime. The fluorescence process is governed by three important events, all of which occur on timescales that are separated by several orders of magnitude (see Table 1). <P> Abstract. Fluorescence quenching refers to any process that decreases the fluorescence intensity of a sample. A variety of molecular interactions can result in quenching. These include excited-state reactions, molecular rearrangements, energy transfer, ground-state complex formation, and colli-sional | Fluorophore occurs due to an interaction of the oscillating electric field vector of the light wave with charges (electrons) in the molecule, is an all or none phenomenon and can only occur with incident light of specific wavelengths known as absorption bands. |
diseases that originate from animals are called | <P> In direct zoonosis the disease is directly transmitted from animals to humans through media such as air (influenza) or through bites and saliva (Rabies). In contrast, transmission can also occur via an intermediate species (referred to as a vector), which carry the disease pathogen without getting infected. Major modern diseases such as Ebola virus disease and influenza are zoonoses. Zoonoses can be caused by a range of disease pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites; of 1,415 pathogens known to infect humans, 61% were zoonotic. <P> View full size image. Diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans, such as bird flu and tuberculosis, can wreak havoc on the health of both organisms. Now researchers have found 13 so-called zoonoses are responsible for 2.2 million human deaths every year. About 60 percent of all human diseases and 75 percent of all emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, according to the researchers. Most human infections with zoonoses come from livestock, including pigs, chickens, cattle, goats, sheep and camels. <P> Diseases passed from animals to humans are called zoonoses. There are more than three dozen we can catch directly through touch and more than four dozen that result from bites. But disease-carrying parasites are not picky about hosts. <P> Disease Transmitted from Animals to Humans.

Of the 37 new infectious diseases identified in the past 30 years, more than two-thirds sprang from animals. Infections transmitted from animals to humans are called zoonoses, or zoonotic diseases. Of the more than 1,700 known viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that infect people, more than half either originated in or now come directly from animals. Indirect Transmission. Diseases that are transmitted to humans indirectly via an insect, an arthropod (animals with jointed appendages and exoskeletons, such as ticks), or another animal (such as snails, which deliver the parasite responsible for schistosomiasis) are called vector-borne diseases. <P> A zoonotic disease or zoonosis (plural is zoonoses) is any disease of animals that can be transmitted to people.

average square foot cost of building a house | <P> 1. Local building permit costs & lay of property: Depending on what municipality/region you build in, pricing for building & development costs can range from as low as $10,000 to $30,000. For example, on a 1,800 square foot home, this translates to a difference of $11.00 per square foot. Building a house on a low-grade property most likely requires extra work in regards to raising the grade and bringing in extra loads of fill. This obviously increases the price. <P> Take the price of the home, deduct the price of the land, and divide that amount by the square footage of the home. For example, if the home is selling for $230,000 and the land costs $30,000, then the construction cost is around $200,000. If the home is 2,000 square feet, then the cost per square foot is $100. Use several new homes in your area to get an approximate square footage price. <P> Home prices of $55, $66, $72, $80, $84, $92, $110, $118, and $328 per square foot combine to produce an average of $112 per square foot, which is probably a reasonable figure for many areas of the country. However, the difference between the lowest figure and the highest is very substantial. <P> Porches cost a median of $67 per square foot, but vary from $20 to $85. These high end prices include all sorts of special lighting, and other perks. The materials for decking are about $5 per square foot, and average installation plus materials is about $20. The average custom home building costs for custom homes built in the United States is right around $83 per square foot. The median price however was $78 <P> The average cost to build a log home in the U.S. is approximately *$150.00-$200.00+ per square foot turnkey. The square footage you need to be concerned with is the actual living area on the main and second floor if applicable. Example: 2,000 square foot home- (1,500 main floor) & (500 loft floor) with a full basement and two car garage. Lower end. 1 2,000 square feet times $150.00 per sq.ft. = 2 $300,0000. 3 Full basement – 1500 square feet times $35.00 = $52,500.00. <P> • Basement – $25 to $35 per square foot depending on local prices, soil and climate. • Crawl Space – $15 to $20 per square foot. • Slab – around $10 per square foot (plus you won’t need floor joists or a sub-floor). * Remember that a basement actually gives you more square footage. In other words, you have to have a foundation, so it might as well be a basement if the climate is suitable for one. The cost for the basement is only $10 or $15 more for a basement than a crawl space, so you are essentially getting your basement footage for $10 or $15 per square foot. A Well and Septic could cost between $10,000 and $20,000 depending on location. Cost of structural building materials $20 to $30 per square foot, whether stick built, Concrete Insulated Panels, (CIP) Structural Insulated Panels, (SIP) or lowest of all, log kits and log panels. <P> 1 A great deal depends on location plus the complexity of the project and the quality of the materials chosen. 2 It's possible to custom-build an 800-square-foot dome house for $1 million or a 12,000-square-foot rural ranch house for $400,000. 3 However, the $400,000 custom-built house is the exception rather than the rule. 1 However, building a modest custom home in a low-cost area might drop costs as low as $100 a square foot, or $350,000 for 3,500 square feet. <P> In the majority of states the average cost is below $85 per square foot. In the northeastern states and California the average price of construction can be between $100 and $120 dollars per square foot. In reality there are many factors that impact the average custom home costs. Let’s walk through a few. The average custom home building costs for custom homes built in the United States is right around $83 per square foot. The median price however was $78 <P> Generally, turnkey costs will start at around $70 a square foot for a starter home in ideal conditions. An average level of finish will be more like $90-100. At $110-120 we are building a custom finish. For example, a $5,000 well will cost $1 per square foot on a 5,000 s.f. house and $2 a s.f. on a 2,500 s.f. house. Since houses with low square footage of finished space still tend to have garages, porches, and all the other site costs, the cost per square foot tends to be higher. <P> 1 A modular home (built in a factory then trucked to the building site in sections) starts at $50,000-$60,000 for 800-900 square feet (1-2 bedrooms, 1 bath) not including the cost of the land, foundation or other site work, but can cost $500,000-$1 million for large, customized homes. 1 Building a garage typically costs about $35-$45 a square foot, or $8,400-$10,800 for a standard single-car garage and $13,300-$17,100 for a two-car garage. 2 A custom outdoor greenhouse with a solid foundation, heating and electricity starts at $10,000-$20,000 for a small structure, but can cost $25,000-$50,000 or more. | $78 per square foot. |

why were organs put in a canopic jar | <P> Going through the mummification process and the use of canopic jars to protect the organs, demonstrates that the Egyptians believed the deceased were a continuation of their mortality. They believed that the preservation of these vital organs would help the deceased during the afterlife. Canopic jars were used from the Old Kingdom up to the Ptolemaic Period. The first known use of canopic jars was during the burial of Hetepheres I, a queen from the fourth dynasty. During the time of the Old Kingdom, canopic jars were simple in design and had plain lids. <P> The purpose of the Ancient Egyptian Canopic jars was to contain the liver, lungs, stomach and intestines which were removed during the process of mummification. Each organ had a separate canopic jar which were all stored together in a Canopic chest or box.

These were used as containers in which to hold the internal organs of the deceased that was going to be mummified. The ancient Egyptians before mummifying their pharaohs and dead took out the internal soft organs. These organs contained a lot of fluid and could cause the body to putrefy and decompose quickly. <P> These jars were used by the Ancient Egyptians from the time of the Old Kingdom up until the time of the Late Period or the Ptolemaic Period, by which time the viscera were simply wrapped and placed with the body. The viscera were not kept in a single canopic jar: each jar was reserved for specific organs. The name canopic reflects the mistaken association by early Egyptologists with the Greek legend of Canopus. Canopic jars of the Old Kingdom were rarely inscribed, and had a plain lid.

at what age does conduct disorder usually appear | <P> However, in children with conduct disorder, these symptoms occur more frequently and interfere with learning, school adjustment, and, sometimes, with the child's relationships with others. The following are the most common symptoms of conduct disorder. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. The 4 main groups of behaviors include the following: Aggressive conduct. Aggressive conduct causes or threatens physical harm to others and may include the following: Intimidating behavior. Bullying. <P> Conduct disorder is more common among boys than girls, with studies indicating that the rate among boys in the general population ranges from 6% to 16% while the rate among girls ranges from 2% to 9%. Conduct disorder can have its onset early, before age 10, or in adolescence. Children who display early-onset conduct disorder are at greater risk for persistent difficulties, however, and they are also more likely to have troubled peer relationships and academic problems. <P> 1 Further, many children and teens with conduct disorder also have other mental illnesses, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) , learning disorders, depression, substance abuse, or an anxiety disorder, which may contribute to the symptoms of conduct disorder. 1 Genetics: Many children and teens with conduct disorder have close family members with mental illnesses, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use disorders and personality disorders. 2 This suggests that a vulnerability to conduct disorder may be at least partially inherited. <P> There are three types of conduct disorder. They are labeled according to the age at which the symptoms first occur. The three types of conduct disorder are: 1 childhood onset (signs of conduct disorder appear before 10 years old). 2 adolescent onset (signs of conduct disorder appear during the teenage years). 3 unspecified onset (the age that conduct disorder first occurs is unknown). <P> Overview. Conduct disorder is a group of behavioral and emotional problems that usually begins during childhood or teenage years. People with the disorder have a long-term and continual pattern of behavior that violates the rights of others or goes against what is deemed normal by society for their age group. The three types of conduct disorder are: 1 childhood onset (signs of conduct disorder appear before 10 years old). 2 adolescent onset (signs of conduct disorder appear during the teenage years). 3 unspecified onset (the age that conduct disorder first occurs is unknown). <P> Conduct Disorder Symptoms. By Psych Central Staff ~ 2 min read. The essential feature of Conduct Disorder is a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior by a child or teenager in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated. <P> In the United States, prevalence rates for conduct disorder (CD) are estimated at 2-9%, 5 out of every 100 teenagers, according to various nonclinical samples summarized by Costello in 1990, and are complicated by relatively high rates of co-occurrence or comorbidity with other disorders. <P> Conduct disorder is a serious behavioral and emotional disorder that can occur in children and teens. A child with this disorder may display a pattern of disruptive and violent behavior and have problems following rules. <P> Course Conduct Disorder may be diagnosed in adults, however, symptoms of Conduct Disorder usually emerge in childhood or adolescence, and onset is rare after age 16. Conduct disorder, to be diagnosed, must last 6 months or longer. Most children or adolescents with conduct disorder grow out of this disorder, but if this behavior persists past age 18 and intensifies, the diagnosis is changed to antisocial personality disorder. | Before 10 years old |
neutrino definition | <P> Full Definition of NEUTRINO. : an uncharged elementary particle that is believed to have a very small mass, that has any of three forms, and that interacts only rarely with other particles. — neu·tri·no·less \-ləs\ adjective. See neutrino defined for English-language learners. <P> noun (plural neutrinos). A neutral subatomic particle with a mass close to zero and half-integral spin, which rarely reacts with normal matter. Three kinds of neutrinos are known, associated with the electron, muon, and tau particle. Example sentences. 1 The leptons consist of the charged electron, muon and tau, together with three electronically neutral particles-the electron neutrino, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos. 2 The proton and the neutron are baryons; the electron, the muon, and the neutrino are leptons; whilst the pions are mesons. <P> Neutrino oscillation is a quantum mechanical phenomenon whereby a neutrino created with a specific lepton flavour (electron, muon, or tau) can later be measured to have a different flavour. The probability of measuring a particular flavour for a neutrino varies periodically as it propagates through space. Neutrino oscillation arises from a mixture between the flavour and mass eigenstates of neutrinos. That is, the three neutrino states that interact with the charged leptons in weak interactions are each a different superposition of the three neutrino states of definite mass. <P> Medical Definition of NEUTRINO. : an uncharged elementary particle that is believed to be massless or to have a very small mass, that has any of three forms, and that interacts only rarely with other particles. : an uncharged elementary particle that is believed to have a very small mass, that has any of three forms, and that interacts only rarely with other particles. — neu·tri·no·less \-ləs\ adjective. See neutrino defined for English-language learners. <P> Neutrinos oscillate between different flavors in flight. That is, an electron neutrino produced in a beta decay reaction may arrive in a detector as a muon or tau neutrino. This oscillation requires that the different neutrino flavors have different masses, although these masses have been shown to be tiny. It is possible that the neutrino and antineutrino are in fact the same particle, a hypothesis first proposed by the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana. The neutrino could transform into an antineutrino (and vice versa) by flipping the orientation of its spin state. <P> A neutrino (/nuːˈtriːnoʊ/ or /njuːˈtriːnoʊ/ , in Italian [nɛuˈtrino]) is an electrically neutral elementary particle with half-integer spin. The neutrino (meaning little neutral one in Italian) is denoted by the Greek letter ν (nu). Neutrinos have mass, but tiny even compared to other subatomic particles. It is possible that the neutrino and antineutrino are in fact the same particle, a hypothesis first proposed by the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana. The neutrino could transform into an antineutrino (and vice versa) by flipping the orientation of its spin state. <P> By Andrew Zimmerman Jones. Definition: The neutrino is an elementary particle which holds no electrical charge, travels at nearly the speed of light, and passes through ordinary matter with virtually no interaction. There are actually three types of neutrino: electron neutrino, muon neutrino, and tau neutrino. These names come from the their partner particle under the Standard Model of particle physics. <P> Part of the Computing fundamentals glossary: A neutrino is a sub atom ic particle with no electric charge. Neutrinos are known for their ability to propagate over considerable distances through solid matter almost unaffected. Neutrinos were originally thought to have no mass. Another type is related to a particle called the muon. The third type is related to a particle called the tau. The main difference between the neutrinos and their relatives is the fact that neutrinos are electrically neutral, while the electron, muon, and tau are electrically charged. <P> Neutrinos are most often created or detected with a well defined flavor (electron, muon, tau). However, in a phenomenon known as neutrino flavor oscillation, neutrinos are able to oscillate among the three available flavors while they propagate through space. It is possible that the neutrino and antineutrino are in fact the same particle, a hypothesis first proposed by the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana. The neutrino could transform into an antineutrino (and vice versa) by flipping the orientation of its spin state. | An uncharged elementary particle that is believed to have a very small mass, that has any of three forms, and that interacts only rarely with other particles. |
what the typical age for premature menopause | <P> Postmenopause follows perimenopause and lasts the rest of your life. The average age of a woman having her last period, menopause, is 51. But, some women have their last period in their forties, and some have it later in their fifties. Smoking can lead to early menopause. So can some types of operations. <P> Any individual woman can vary quite a lot compared with an average. For instance, although the average age of menopause in developed countries is 51.4 years, there is a range from a low of about age 40 (early), to a high or late menopause age of 58 years. The average age of menopause depends on the population studied to calculate the average. Most women stop menstruating around the age of 50, and the average age in the developed world is 51.4 years (1). <P> The average age of menopause in the United States is 51, but it is considered perfectly normal for a woman to go through it at any time between the ages of 35 and 59, says Lila Schmidt, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist in private practice in San Diego. “Anything above 35 is not premature,” she says. <P> Premature Ovarian Failure: Premature Menopause. Approximately 1 in every 1000 women between the ages of 15-29 and 1 in every 100 women between the ages of 30-39 are affected by premature ovarian failure (POF) also called premature menopause. A woman can be affected by POF at any age or time in her life. <P> The average age of menopause is 51 years old. But there is no way to predict when an individual woman will have menopause or begin having symptoms suggestive of menopause. The age at which a woman starts having menstrual periods is also not related to the age of menopause onset. <P> This is where a woman's ovaries stop producing an egg every four weeks. She no longer has monthly periods and is unlikely to get pregnant. In the UK, 51 is the average age for a woman to reach the menopause, although some women experience the menopause in their 30s or 40s. If you experience the menopause before the age of 40, it's known as a premature menopause. <P> The average age for menopause in the United States is 51, according to the National Institute on Aging. Generally, most women experience onset between the ages of 40 and 60. Early menopause usually refers to cases where onset occurs before the age of 40. <P> 1 The average age of U.S. women at the time of menopause is 51 years. 2 The most common age range at which women experience menopause is 48-55 years. 3 Premature menopause is defines as menopause occurring in a woman younger than 40 years. 4 About 1% of women experience premature menopause. 1 The most common age range at which women experience menopause is 48-55 years. 2 Premature menopause is defines as menopause occurring in a woman younger than 40 years. 3 <P> Average age of menopause. When talking about the age when a majority of women have had their last menstrual period, it can be more helpful to use the average or mean age of menopause. Most women stop menstruating around the age of 50, and the average age in the developed world is 51.4 years (1). Most women stop menstruating around the age of 50, and the average age in the developed world is 51.4 years (1). <P> A. In the U.S., the average age of onset for natural menopause is 51. However, because of genetics, illness, or medical procedures, some women go through menopause before the age of 40. Menopause that occurs before this age, whether natural or induced, is known as premature menopause. | between the ages of 40 and 60. |
average church construction cost per square foot using steel building | <P> The steel building material costs depend on the quality of your building.

Since many retail & commercial buildings require additional finishing like insulation or facade façade, customization the cost may rise to$ 30 or$ 40 per square (FOOT). sf <P> -Buyer from New Virginia, IA. What they were looking for: Metal building to use as a home, with front porch cover and separate metal carport.. Price paid: I was looking for metal building costs per square foot that didn't exceed $4. I purchased a 40x60x14 metal building for $9,483 with 2 doors and 12 ft. front porch cover which made the length 72 ft. in length. The porch also wraps around both 12 ft. sides which makes part of it 52 ft. wide. <P> 1 If your congregation plans on buying a prefabricated steel church and erecting it, materials might cost somewhere around $5 to $15 per square foot. 2 The larger the church steel building is, however, the lower material costs will be. 1 For example, the materials for a 30,000 square foot church might be purchased for as little as $8 to $10 per square foot. 2 A 70’x110’x24’ church in Texas was engineered and installed for around $70,000 to $75,000 ($9 to $10 per square foot) . <P> Materials for an average sized, residential steel building can range $7 per square foot for large buildings such as a 80x100 building and go up to $10 PSF for a small 30x40 building. These prices are for the building shell. Also consider the location of the building and whether a foundation and a floor will need to be laid to complete the installation. This can add from $4 to $8 per square foot to the cost for either style of metal building. <P> Since many retail & commercial buildings require additional finishing like insulation or facade façade, customization the cost may rise to$ 30 or$ 40 per square (FOOT). Sf insulating a commercial steel building is a necessary expense but is also a very good. investment Since many retail & commercial buildings require additional finishing like insulation or facade façade, customization the cost may rise to$ 30 or$ 40 per square (FOOT). sf <P> Gehlen said commercial construction, whether it involves a church or an office building, is fairly standard at approximately $70 per square foot for wood frame and $110 per square foot for steel and concrete, including basic plumbing, wiring, fixtures and finishes. The cost for this project, encompassing less than 19,000 feet, is $4.3 million, or about $239 per square foot. In practically every case, when church construction costs are examined, the Catholic church will cost more — usually 50% more per square foot — than the comparable Protestant church. <P> 1 In general, you can expect to pay approximately $15 to $25 per square foot for a basic rigid frame commercial steel building (all inclusive). 2 More customized/refined commercial metal steel buildings might cost closer to $20 to $40 per square foot. 1 If you’re interested in constructing a do-it-yourself commercial steel building, metal building kits could run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 to $20 per square foot, while a poured concrete foundation might cost around $5 to $10 per square foot. | $110 per square foot for steel and concrete, including basic plumbing, wiring, fixtures and finishes. |
what is an arrhythmia | <P> An arrhythmia is an abnormality in the timing or pattern of the heartbeat. When you have an arrhythmia, your heart may beat too quickly or too slowly, or you may experience an irregular rhythm in which your heart feels as if it is skipping a beat.. An arrhythmia means the heart is not beating in the proper rhythm. This can cause anything from minor symptoms all the way to cardiac arrest and death. Since different rhythm disturbances need different treatments, diagnosing the precise type of arrhythmia is important. <P> Cardiac arrhythmia, also known as cardiac dysrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast, or too slow. Arrhythmia may be classified by rate (tachycardia, bradycardia), mechanism (automaticity, reentry, triggered) or duration (isolated premature beats; couplets; runs, that is 3 or more beats; non-sustained= less than 30 seconds or sustained= over 30 seconds). <P> Rapid arrhythmias are called tachycardias, while slow ones are called bradycardias. Irregular arrhythmias-when the heartbeat is irregular-are called fibrillations, as in atrial or ventricular fibrillation. When a single heartbeat occurs earlier than it should it is called premature contraction. 1 The heart may beat too fast (ventricular tachycardia) or irregularly (ventricular fibrillation). 2 Cardiomyopathy-disease of the myocardium (heart muscle). 3 The walls of the ventricles may stretch or enlarge, or the left ventricle wall may thicken and constrict. <P> About Arrhythmia. An arrhythmia is an abnormal heart rhythm. Learn about the heart's structure and why abnormal heart rhythms may cause problems. Read more. <P> Arrhythmia. An arrhythmia (ah-RITH-me-ah) is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm. A heartbeat that is too fast is called tachycardia (TAK-ih-KAR-de-ah). A heartbeat that is too slow is called bradycardia (bray-de-KAR-de-ah). Most arrhythmias are harmless, but some can be serious or even life threatening. Arrhythmia (Cardiac Arrhythmia). An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm. PubMed Health Glossary. (Source: NIH-National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute). <P> An irregular heartbeat is an arrhythmia (also called dysrhythmia). Heart rates can also be irregular. A normal heart rate is 50 to 100 beats per minute. Arrhythmias and abnormal heart rates don't necessarily occur together. Arrhythmias can occur with a normal heart rate, or with heart rates that are slow (called bradyarrhythmias -- less than 50 beats per minute). Arrhythmias can also occur with rapid heart rates (called tachyarrhythmias -- faster than 100 beats per minute). 1 Atrial fibrillation. 2 Atrial fibrillation is a very common irregular heart rhythm that causes the atria, the upper chambers of the heart, to contract abnormally. 3 Atrial flutter. 4 This is an arrhythmia caused by one or more rapid circuits in the atrium. <P> An arrhythmia is a disorder of the heart that affects the rate or rhythm at which the heart beats. An arrhythmia occurs when electrical impulses, which direct and regulate heartbeats, don’t function properly. This causes the heart to beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), too early (premature contraction), or too erratically (fibrillation). <P> Knowledge center.

what is the approximate cost of a solar panels for the average household | <P> Typically, residential solar power systems in Australia vary from 1.5kW (6 x 250W panels) to 10kW (40 x 250W panels) in size. A 5kW solar system is generally seen as a ‘decent sized’ average. Consider that back in 2010 you were looking at $17000 to $20000 for a 5kW system, that same system now can be bought for between $7000 and $15000. Then there’s the Australian Solar Credits Rebate. At the point of sale, homeowners are entitled to a government rebate on their solar panels. <P> Our residential solar power systems are custom designed for your home. Getting a solar panel system price estimate is easy: you can start with a quick online quote, talk with one of our friendly consultants or request a free consultation and written proposal. Free consultation. Schedule a free consultation with one of our knowledgeable consultants to learn about the price of a solar panel system for your home and how much you can save every month on your electricity bills. The initial call will be about 10 minutes. <P> You can use these solar calculators to estimate the size and the cost of the solar panel array needed for your home energy usage. Ideally, you will know your total kilo-watt hours (kWh) used for the past 12 months or the average monthly kWh used each month. 1 Do you want to cut your electric bill by 20%, 50% or 100%? 2 It will cost less upfront to start with a smaller system, but you will still save money every month. 3 Estimated Cost per Watt-Enter a value in this field to estimate the cost of solar panels for the size of your estimated solar array. <P> Cost to you for 3kW of solar power: Approx $5,000. Now whether a 3kW system is an appropriate size for you or not is a good, and difficult, question to answer. It is not as simple as buying a solar system that generates the same amount of electricity that your household uses. Home Solar Panels Solar Panels Cost. The price of your new solar system will, of course, depend on how big it is. Or to put it another way-how many kiloWatts (kW) you choose to install. <P> the approximate cost for a solar panel system, before incentives and rebates, to offset 100% energy cost ($170 / month). the system required would be a 7.8 kW system. By offsetting 50% of your energy consumption, the system required would. be half that size, or a 3.9 kW solar energy system. 3.9 kW x $9,000 (average price per 1kW) = $35,100 * before incentives. Offsetting 50% of your energy demand might net 60% or more off your monthly bill due to the tiered pricing structure. Over the system’s lifetime that’s a net savings of at least $60,000. The average homeowner saves over $1000 a year on electricity by installing solar panels on their roof. That’s including the cost of solar panels. The most. common way to go solar today is by leasing, which essentially means instead of paying the utility you pay less to produce your own energy. <P> The cost of installing solar power on a mid-sized home is between $30,000 to $40,000 dollars, which covers about 30 panels. If you’re connecting off the grid, expect a higher price tag to cover the cost of extra wiring and materials. Those 30 panels will produce about 8350 kW hours of energy a year or 22 kW hours a day. It doesn’t quite cover the average household consumption of 30 kW per day, but it will certainly make a big dent in what you use. <P> Wholesale Solar is 100% employee-owned! Figuring out exactly how much your solar system will cost can take a little detective work. Electricity rates vary, and each state has different rebates that may affect the overall price of your system. The average system costs a little over $10,000. The good news is that many banks offer low cost financing, which can make your loan payment less than what you were previously paying for electricity! <P> Last update: June, 2014. Solar panels have been just as cheap or cheaper than grid energy since 2013, in most places. Solar is unlikely to continue to get a lot cheaper, though, because the price of the panels has dropped so much that most of the system cost is now for installation, not for the panels themselves. <P> 1 Estimated Cost per Watt-Enter a value in this field to estimate the cost of solar panels for the size of your estimated solar array. 2 Cost per watt will vary depending on the system size, solar manufacturer, labor costs and location. 1 Do you want to cut your electric bill by 20%, 50% or 100%? 2 It will cost less upfront to start with a smaller system, but you will still save money every month. 3 <P> Solar Energy Savings. The average household today pays nearly $170 each month in home energy costs. Some estimates have energy costs pegged. at almost $200 per month, a cost of $2,400 for the entire year. The average homeowner saves over $1000 a year on electricity by installing solar panels on their roof. That’s including the cost of solar panels.

what is activia | <P> Activia yogurt is part of a huge health market that promotes and sells probiotic yogurts and drinks. Many of the manufacturers, including Danone have made made several claims that their yogurt can improve your digestive health and help alleviate certain digestive disorders. For example Activia’s Bifidus ActiRegularis® is derived from the Bifidobacterium Animalis strain which lives in the intestines of most mammals and humans. This strain is believed to reduce the spread of harmful bacteria and help in the production of vitamin B12. <P> What is Activia. Activia is a delicious probiotic yoghurt from Danone. It contains an exclusive probiotic Bifidus ActiRegularis ® which is scientifically proven for its ability to survive in the digestive system and help improve digestive comfort. <P> Activia is a brand of yogurt owned by Groupe Danone (The Dannon Company in the United States) and introduced in France in 1987. As of 2013, Activia is present in more than 70 countries and on all 5 continents. Activia is classified as a functional food, designed to improve digestive health. Activia products are sold with different textures (set or firm, stirred, drinkable...) and in flavors adapted to local consumer preferences. The product line varies by country. Most Activia yogurts contain real fruit. <P> Activia Probiotic Strains. To be called a probiotic yogurt the product must contain a live active culture, which is a fancy name for a probiotic bacteria.

what is the oxidation reaction of glucose | <P> Energy from glucose is obtained from the oxidation reaction. where a mole of glucose (about 180 grams) reacts with six moles of O 2 with an energy yield δG = 2870 kJ. The six moles of oxygen at STP would occupy 6 x 22.4L = 134 liters. When oxidized in the body in the process called metabolism, glucose produces carbon dioxide, water, and some nitrogen compounds and in the process provides energy which can be used by the cells. <P> A molecule of glucose, which is broken down by an organism into carbon dioxide and water in a process called glucose oxidation. A strand of DNA, which is created by the energy that is produced through glucose oxidation. Mitochondria use the by-products of glucose oxidation to produce ATP. Water molecules are one product of glucose oxidation. <P> The oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide is the same as above.The Cl(V) in the chlorate ion is reduced to Cl(-I) in the chloride anion for a reduction of 6 electrons. Multiplying the reduction half reaction by 4, to use 24 electrons, and combining the oxidation and reduction half reactions gives us the net reaction. An aldehyde can be oxidized to a carboxylic acid group. Outline • Oxidation and Oxidation State• Oxidation of Alcohols and Aldehydes• Oxidation of Sugars• HomeworkWatch the video on the reaction between sugar (in a gummy worm) and a strong oxidizing agent, KClO 3. <P> Redox reactions, or oxidation-reduction reactions, have a number of similarities to acid–base reactions. Like acid–base reactions, redox reactions are a matched set, that is, there cannot be an oxidation reaction without a reduction reaction happening simultaneously. Because there is no net change in charge during a redox reaction, the number of electrons in excess in the oxidation reaction must equal the number consumed by the reduction reaction (as shown above). Elements, even in molecular form, always have an oxidation state of zero. <P> Glucose oxidation is a chemical process that provides energy for an organism to carry out all of its required activities. During this process, glucose, a simple sugar molecule obtained from food, is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. A strand of DNA, which is created by the energy that is produced through glucose oxidation. Mitochondria use the by-products of glucose oxidation to produce ATP. Water molecules are one product of <P> Oxidation describes the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom or ion. Reduction describes the gain of electrons by a molecule, atom or ion. These reactions mutually occur of course. Whenever there is oxidation there is reduction, and whenever there is reduction there is oxidation. this is the oxidation of glucose which is the central (but not sole) mechanism whereby we derive our energy from in the form of energy storing molecules such as ATP and GTP, with electron carriers such as NAD+ and FAD+ helping the process. <P> Oxidation Reactions of Sugars The oxidation of sugars provides energy in cellular respiration. Sugars are also the precursors to the other organic molecules in organisms. Stepwise oxidation of an alcohol function group in a sugar produces an aldehyde or ketone. An aldehyde can be oxidized to a carboxylic acid group. Outline • Oxidation and Oxidation State• Oxidation of Alcohols and Aldehydes• Oxidation of Sugars• HomeworkWatch the video on the reaction between sugar (in a gummy worm) and a strong oxidizing agent, KClO 3. <P> The carbon dioxide is the oxidized form of carbon while the water is the oxidized form of hydrogen, hence the oxidation of glucose which consists of carbon and hydrogen as well as oxygen. The presence of the latter, oxygen, indicates that glucose as a molecule is already more oxidized than the equivalent hydrocarbon. <P> Redox reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed; in general, redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between species. Because there is no net change in charge during a redox reaction, the number of electrons in excess in the oxidation reaction must equal the number consumed by the reduction reaction (as shown above). Elements, even in molecular form, always have an oxidation state of zero. <P> Glucose oxidation is an aerobic process, a chemical reaction that requires oxygen. The term oxidation, in fact, refers to any reaction where oxygen is combined with another molecule, which is then said to be oxidized.

why are antacids useful | <P> Antacids are used commonly for symptoms such as heartburn, abdominal pain (sometimes described as sour stomach) and nausea resulting from a number of conditions such as, inflammation or acid-peptic ulcers of the esophagus (esophagitis), stomach (gastritis), and duodenum (duodenitis). Magnesium oxide antacids are used to treat magnesium deficiencies from either diets or medications that cause magnesium depletion. Off label (not FDA-approved) uses for antacids containing aluminum and magnesium or aluminum alone include preventing bleeding from stress-induced ulcers. <P> Antacids are used to relieve acid indigestion, upset stomach, sour stomach, and heartburn. Additional components of some formulations include dimethicone, to reduce gas pains (flatulence) and alginic acid, which, in combination with antacids, may help manage GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease). <P> Side Effects of Antacids and Acid Blockers. To understand the side effects of antacids and acid blocking drugs it is useful to examine why they exist, how they work and what they do to the gastric system. Common US brands of over the counter antacids include: Pepto-Bismol, Milk of Magnesia, Rolaids, Tums, Alka-Seltzer, Mylanta, Rolaids, Maalox, and Gaviscon. Natural antacids may also be present in your grocery cart in items such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). <P> Sodium bicarbonate is baking soda and is an antacid. Some facts about antacids are as follows: 1 Taken on an empty stomach, they only neutralize acid for 30 to 60 minutes because the antacid quickly leaves the stomach. 2 If taken with food, the protective effect may be 2 or 3 hours. <P> Antacids containing aluminum (e.g. Maalox®, Mylanta ®) that neutralize stomach acid are composed of a metal ion (aluminum, magnesium, calcium, sodium) which is linked to an alkali (hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate, trisilicate). Antacids are used to relieve acid indigestion, upset stomach, sour stomach, and heartburn. Additional components of some formulations include dimethicone, to reduce gas pains (flatulence) and alginic acid, which, in combination with antacids, may help manage GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease). <P> Antacids may be used: 1 To reduce the symptoms of acid reflux which may cause heartburn or inflammation of the gullet (oesophagitis) . 2 To relieve some of the symptoms caused by ulcers in the stomach and part of the gut called the duodenum. 3 In other conditions where it is helpful to neutralise stomach acid. Antacids may be used: 1 To reduce the symptoms of acid reflux which may cause heartburn or inflammation of the gullet (oesophagitis) . 2 These conditions are sometimes called gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). 3 To relieve some of the symptoms caused by ulcers in the stomach and part of the gut called the duodenum. <P> Antacids treat stomach acidity by neutralizing gastric hydrochloric acid or preventing the secretion of acid. Antacids can be used to treat: 1 heartburn. 2 indigestion. Some people have reported allergic reactions to antacids. Antacids can also increase the risk of developing sensitivity to certain foods and have been linked to possible bone fracture. Excessive use of antacids can lead to an overdose on calcium carbonate with magnesium, two common ingredients in many antacids. <P> Introduction. Antacids are a type of medication that can control the acid levels in your stomach. They're available over the counter from pharmacies and are often used to treat the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion. Some antacids also coat the surface of the oesophagus (gullet) with a protective barrier against stomach acid, or produce a gel on the stomach’s surface which helps stop acid leaking into the oesophagus and causing acid reflux. | Because it used to relieve acid indigestion, upset stomach, sour stomach, and heartburn. |
what is scleritis commonly associated with | <P> 1 Scleritis is frequently associated with connective tissue diseases of which rheumatoid arthritis is by far the most common. 2 Other connective tissue diseases seen are Wegener's granulomatosis, relapsing polychondritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, reactive arthritis, polyarteritis nodosa and ankylosing spondylitis. 1 Anterior scleritis (98% of cases) : 2 Diffuse anterior-this is the most common (and benign) form, characterised by widespread inflammation of the anterior sclera. 3 It accounts for about 50% of scleritis cases. <P> Anterior scleritis, the most common form, can be subdivided into diffuse, nodular, or necrotizing forms. In the diffuse form, anterior scleral edema is present along with dilation of the deep episcleral vessels. The entire anterior sclera or just a portion may be involved. As scleritis is associated with systemic autoimmune diseases, it is more common in women. It usually occurs in the fourth to sixth decades of life. Men are more likely to have infectious scleritis than women. <P> Scleritis is a disorder in which the outer surface of the eye becomes severely inflamed. The sclera is the outer protective layer of the eye. In scleritis, the scleral tissue becomes inflamed and red. The condition can be very painful. Scleritis is believed to be the result of the body’s immune system overreacting. The types of scleritis are divided by the position where inflammation is taking place: anterior (front) or posterior (rear). Most individuals feel severe pain with the condition, but there are exceptions. Treatment is a step-ladder approach beginning with the least risk and moving on as the condition worsens <P> Scleritis is a serious inflammatory disease that affects the white outer coating of the eye, known as the sclera. The disease is often contracted through association with other diseases of the body, such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis or rheumatoid arthritis. There are three types of scleritis: diffuse scleritis (the most common), nodular scleritis, and necrotizing scleritis (the most severe). Scleritis may be the first symptom of onset of connective tissue disease. Symptoms of scleritis include: 1 Redness of the sclera and conjunctiva, sometimes changing to a purple hue. 2 Severe ocular pain, which may radiate to the temple or jaw. 3 The pain is often described as deep or boring. <P> Scleritis is commonly associated with systemic autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, relapsing polychondritis, spondyloarthropathies, Wegener granulomatosis, polyarteritis nodosa, and giant cell arteritis. Scleritis is a chronic, painful, and potentially blinding inflammatory disease that is characterized by edema and cellular infiltration of the scleral and episcleral tissues. <P> These complications are most common in necrotizing scleritis, the most destructive type of scleritis. Disease association may be found in about 57% of patients with scleritis. Up to 48% of patients with scleritis present with a known connective-tissue or vasculitic disease. Scleritis is a chronic, painful, and potentially blinding inflammatory disease that is characterized by edema and cellular infiltration of the scleral and episcleral tissues. <P> Corneal disease in patients with RA can be an isolated complication, but it is most commonly associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca or a form of anterior scleritis. The spectrum of disease may include keratitis, sclerosing keratitis, and peripheral or paracentral ulcerative keratitis 1, 2, 6, 7 (Table 2) . Scleritis (Figure 3) or episcleritis (Figure 4) in patients with RA occurs at a prevalence rate of 4 to 10 percent. 1 RA is the most common cause of scleritis, accounting for approximately 18 to 33 percent of cases. <P> Scleritis is an uncommon disease and is differentiated from episcleritis, which is a more common ocular condition. In episcleritis, only the superficial tissue between the white of the eye (sclera) and the blood vessel-filled covering (conjunctiva) is inflamed. 1 Scleritis is an inflammation of the white of the eye. 2 It is serious eye disease which is often associated with underlying autoimmune disorders. 3 Prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential in preventing permanent vision loss. <P> INTRODUCTION Scleritis is a severe, destructive inflammatory disease affecting the eye wall.

autosomal recessive pattern definition biology | <P> Print. In an autosomal dominant disorder, the mutated gene is a dominant gene located on one of the nonsex chromosomes (autosomes). You need only one mutated gene to be affected by this type of disorder. <P> Autosomal recessive: A genetic condition that appears only in individuals who have received two copies of an autosomal gene, one copy from each parent. The gene is on an autosome, a nonsex chromosome. The parents are carriers who have only one copy of the gene and do not exhibit the trait because the gene is recessive to its normal counterpart gene. If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance of a child inheriting both abnormal genes and, consequently, developing the disease. <P> In autosomal recessive inheritance, both genes of interest (i.e., one from each parent) on a paired chromosome have the same defect; if both parents have the recessive gene of interest, the likelihood of expression in progeny is 1:4. Men and women are affected equally. Examples. Genetics Referring to a mode of inheritance, in which the phenotypic expression of a gene of interest requires its presence on both paired chromosomes–ie, a homozygous state; if both parents have the recessive gene of interest, the likelihood of expression in progeny is 1:4; ♂ and ♀ <P> Print. To have an autosomal recessive disorder, you inherit two mutated genes, one from each parent. These disorders are usually passed on by two carriers. Their health is rarely affected, but they have one mutated gene (recessive gene) and one normal gene (dominant gene) for the condition. Two carriers have a 25 percent chance of having an unaffected child with two normal genes (left), a 50 percent chance of having an unaffected child who also is a carrier (middle), and a 25 percent chance of having an affected child with two recessive genes (right). <P> Autosomal recessive. A pattern of inheritance in which both copies of an autosomal gene must be abnormal for a genetic condition or disease to occur. An autosomal gene is a gene that is located on one of the autosomes or non-sex chromosomes. Genetics Referring to a mode of inheritance, in which the phenotypic expression of a gene of interest requires its presence on both paired chromosomes–ie, a homozygous state; if both parents have the recessive gene of interest, the likelihood of expression in progeny is 1:4; ♂ and ♀ are affected equally. <P> autosomal-recessive inheritance, a pattern of inheritance resulting from the transmission of a recessive allele on an autosome. Males and females are usually affected with equal frequency. If both parents are heterozygous (Aa), each of their children has a 25% chance of expressing the trait of the recessive allele. <P> Autosomal: Pertaining to a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome. People normally have 22 pairs of autosomes (44 autosomes) in each cell, together with 2 sex chromosomes, X and Y in a male and X and X in a female. <P> Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus. The first allele is dominant and the second allele is recessive. For genes on an autosome (any chromosome other than a sex chromosome), the alleles and their associated traits are autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. Dominance is a key concept in Mendelian inheritance and classical genetics. | A pattern of inheritance in which both copies of an autosomal gene must be abnormal for a genetic condition or disease to occur.

the law of conservation of mass | <P> Aa Aa Aa. The Law of Conservation of Mass dates from Antoine Lavoisier's 1789 discovery that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. In other words, the mass of any one element at the beginning of a reaction will equal the mass of that element at the end of the reaction. <P> The conservation of mass is a fundamental concept of physics along with the conservation of energy and the conservation of momentum. Within some problem domain, the amount of mass remains constant--mass is neither created nor destroyed. <P> The law of conservation of mass is a fundamental principle of physics. According to this law, matter can be neither created nor destroyed. In other words, the mass of an object or collection of objects never changes, no matter how the parts are rearranged. <P> The law of conservation of energy, a fundamental concept of physics, states that the total amount of energy remains constant in an isolated system. It implies that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be change from one form to another. <P> The Law of Conservation of Energy states: Energy cannot be created or destroyed but merely change from one fo … rm to another. Einstein showed that matter is a form of energy. When a nuclear decay occurs there is a minuscule loss of mass that is transformed into energy. <P> In the law of conservation of mass (or matter), the mass in a system that is closed will be constant. This holds despite what occurs inside the system. If a candle is burned, the mass of the candle disappears. But the mass is still around in the form of combustion byproducts. <P> The law of conservation of mass means that if you start out with 100 grams of reactants, you will end up with 100 grams of products. In addition, the number and types of a … toms in the reactants and products will be the same. <P> Answer: The law of conservation of mass or of matter, also known as the Lomonosov-Lavoisier law, states that the mass of substances in a closed system will remain constant, no … matter what processes are acting inside the system. <P> The law of conservation of mass (from Lavoisier) states that mass can be neither created nor destroyed (but it may change its form into something that is not desired, such as heat with an engine) or that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reacting substances is equal to the total mass of products formed. | mass can be neither created nor destroyed or that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reacting substances is equal to the total mass of products formed. |

what group of animals includes worms | <P> Invertebrates include animal groups such as sponges, cnidarians, flatworms, mollusks, arthropods, segmented worms, and echinoderms as well as many other lesser-known groups of animals. The most notable characteristic of invertebrates is that they have no backbone. These six basic animal groups include: amphibians, birds, fish, invertebrates, mammals, and reptiles. When you have a understanding of these six groups, you'll be on your way to grasping the basic characteristics of virtually every animal on the planet. <P> 1 Mollusks are soft-bodied animals, which often live in hard shells. 2 They include snails, slugs, octopus, squid, mussels, oysters, clams, scallops, chitons, and cuttlefish. 3 Mollusks are the second-largest group of invertebrates, with 50,000 living species. 4 Arthropods are the largest and most diverse of all animal groups. Almost all animals fall into one of two groups. Adult vertebrates have a spinal column, or backbone, running the length of the body; invertebrates do not. Vertebrates are often larger and have more complex bodies than invertebrates. However, there are many more invertebrates than <P> Worms. 'Worm' is the common name given to a diverse group of invertebrate animals that have a long, soft body and no legs. Worms are found worldwide, in freshwater, seawater, and on land. <P> Animal Kingdom. The Animal Kingdom is split into several Phyla. Each Phylum group contains organisms that have things in common. Below is a list of some animal Phyla: Chordate Phylum: All the animals which have a backbone. Includes: Fish, Reptiles, Birds, Amphibians, and Mammals. Arthropod Phylum: All the jointed legged animals. All of these animals have an exoskeleton, meaning the skeleton is on the outside of the body. <P> Christmas tree worm-Spirobranchus giganteus. Photo Credit: Photo © Nick Hobgood / Wikipedia. Segmented worms are a group of invertebrates that includes earthworms, ragworms and leeches. Segmented worms include more than 22,000 species that are categorized into two basic groups, the polychates and the clitellates. <P> Flatworms lack a coelom and other worms are referred to as pseudo-coelomates. The most advanced worms are true coleomates as are all groups of higher animals which evolved from worms (such as mollusks, arthropods, and vertebrates). Worm trails are present in Ediacaran strata. Fossils from the earliest Cambrian include embryos of segmented worms (Bengston, 1997). Worms lack the specialized limbs that are present in most higher animals such as vertebrates and arthropods. <P> Worms live in almost all parts of the world including marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats. Some worms living in the ground help to condition the soil (e.g., annelids, aschelminths). Many thrive as parasites of plants (e.g., aschelminths) and animals, including humans (e.g., platyhelminths, aschelminths). Several other worms may be free-living, or non parasitic. There are worms that live in freshwater, seawater, and even on the seashore. Worms are hermaphrodites (both sexes in one animal) but can cross fertilize. Other invertebrate groups may be called worms, especially colloquially. In particular, many unrelated insect larvae are called worms, such as the railroad worm, woodworm, glowworm, bloodworm, inchworm, mealworm, silkworm, and wooly bear worm. <P> The main groups of parasites are as follows: Kingdom: Animalia (animals). Phylum: Acanthocephala (spiny-headed worms). Phylum: Annelida (segmented worms). 1 Class: Hirudinea (leeches). <P> Of molluscs, worms, and lophophores. The Lophotrochozoa comprise one of the major groups within the animal kingdom, In turn, the Lophotrochozoa belongs to a larger group within the Animalia called the Bilateria, because they are bilaterally symmetrical with a left and a right side to their bodies. <P> By Phil Myers. The annelids include earthworms, polychaete worms, and leeches. All members of the group are to some extent segmented, in other words, made up of segments that are formed by subdivisions that partially transect the body cavity. Segmentation is also called metamerism. | Annelids is one of the group of animals which includes worms. |
what is solenoid in transmission | <P> While manual transmissions make use of the clutch to change gears, automatic transmissions rely on a complicated hydraulic system for shifting, and the transmission solenoid is especially important for this process. As you can guess, the transmission solenoid is a required component of a functioning transmission, and any solenoid that starts malfunctioning only spells trouble. So today we’ll explain its function, common problems that can occur, and everything you need to know about replacement here. <P> Changing a transmission solenoid is a common repair on an automatic transmission. To control gear shifting, transmission solenoids direct transmission fluid to servo valves. In most cars and trucks, the transmission system has a fixed number of gears that can be used at various speeds. A solenoid valve, such as a transmission solenoid, generally has nine parts: the valve body, an inlet port, an outlet port, the solenoid coil body, the coil winding, lead wires, a plunger or piston, a spring, and an orifice. <P> A transmission solenoid is an electromechanical valve that controls the flow of transmission fluid into and through an automatic transmission. In modern transmissions, a transmission solenoid typically comes in a pack installed in a transmission control unit, transmission control module, or transmission valve body. Transmission solenoids are powered by a voltage or current the supply of which is controlled by the transmission controller or computer. A solenoid valve, such as a transmission solenoid, generally has nine parts: the valve body, an inlet port, an outlet port, the solenoid coil body, the coil winding, lead wires, a plunger or piston, a spring, and an orifice. <P> The Delphi Automatic Transmission Solenoid controls the flow of transmission fluid into and through the automatic transmission. The Automatic Transmission Solenoid is an electromechanical valve that controls the flow of transmission fluid into and through the automatic transmission. A voltage or current, the supply of which is controlled by the transmission controller or computer, powers the transmission solenoids. The Dorman Automatic Transmission Solenoid controls the flow of transmission fluid into and through the automatic transmission. The Automatic Transmission Solenoid typically comes in a pack installed in a transmission control unit, transmission control module, or transmission valve body. <P> An automatic transmission solenoid is simply a solenoid. A solenoid is an electrical device that opens and closes by getting a command from the computer in your car. Of course the computer gets many signals from other inputs all over the car, in order to make a decision. <P> A transmission solenoid is an electro-hydraulic valve that controls fluid flow into and throughout an automatic transmission. Solenoids can be normally open or normally closed. Transmission solenoids are usually installed in a transmission valve body, transmission control unit or transmission control module. <P> Transmission fluid is directed throughout the valve body by various transmission solenoids– such as the transmission shift solenoid, lockup solenoid, or transmission control solenoid (there’s also a torque converter clutch solenoid) –that either open or close hydraulic valves to regulate fluid flow. As you can guess, the transmission solenoid is a required component of a functioning transmission, and any solenoid that starts malfunctioning only spells trouble. So today we’ll explain its function, common problems that can occur, and everything you need to know about replacement here. <P> Your transmission shift solenoids mount on the transmission valve body that controls fluid flow through the various circuits and passages in the transmission. <P> If the transmission solenoid is energized, the plunger opens and allows fluid to pass while a solenoid that is not receiving power is closed in its normal position. So while the various engine sensors determine when the gears should shift, it is the job of the transmission solenoid to act out the actual shifting. As you can guess, the transmission solenoid is a required component of a functioning transmission, and any solenoid that starts malfunctioning only spells trouble. So today we’ll explain its function, common problems that can occur, and everything you need to know about replacement here. | An electro-hydraulic valve that controls fluid flow into and throughout an automatic transmission. |
what is vitamin a essential for | <P> Vitamin A is a family of fat-soluble compounds that play an important role in vision, bone growth, reproduction, cell division, and cell differentiation. Vitamin A is important for healthy bones. However, too much vitamin A has been linked to bone loss and an increase in the risk of hip fracture. Scientists believe that excessive amounts of vitamin A trigger an increase in osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone. <P> Overview. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that your body doesn't store it. You have to get what you need from food, including citrus fruits, broccoli, and tomatoes. You need vitamin C for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that your body doesn't store it. You have to get what you need from food, including citrus fruits, broccoli, and tomatoes <P> Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in many foods. Vitamin A is important for normal vision, the immune system, and reproduction. Vitamin A also helps the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs work properly. There are two different types of vitamin A. The first type, preformed vitamin A, is found in meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. The second type, provitamin A, is found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based products. The most common type of provitamin A in foods and dietary supplements is beta-carotene. <P> Vitamin A is a group of unsaturated nutritional organic compounds, that includes retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and several provitamin A carotenoids, and beta-carotene. Vitamin A has multiple functions: it is important for growth and development, for the maintenance of the immune system and good vision. In foods of animal origin, the major form of vitamin A is an ester, primarily retinyl palmitate, which is converted to retinol (chemically an alcohol) in the small intestine. The retinol form functions as a storage form of the vitamin, and can be converted to and from its visually active aldehyde form, retinal. <P> Beta-carotene is a precursor for vitamin A. The body needs to convert it to retinol or vitamin A for use. Beta-carotene is found naturally in mostly orange and dark green plant foods, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, mangos, and kale. Vitamin A is important for healthy bones. However, too much vitamin A has been linked to bone loss and an increase in the risk of hip fracture. Scientists believe that excessive amounts of vitamin A trigger an increase in osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone. <P> Vitamin A is essential for good health. It promotes growth, the immune system, reproduction, and vision. However, recent research suggests that too much vitamin A, particularly in the form of retinol, may be bad for your bones. Vitamin A is important for healthy bones. However, too much vitamin A has been linked to bone loss and an increase in the risk of hip fracture. Scientists believe that excessive amounts of vitamin A trigger an increase in osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone. <P> Vitamin A: Why It's Important. Vitamin A is commonly known as the vitamin needed for good eyesight. Along with promoting vision, vitamin A is also vital for regulating genes, maintaining healthy skin, supporting the immune system and producing red blood cells. <P> The form of vitamin A found in fruits and vegetables is known as carotenoids. The most common type of carotenoid is-carotene (beta carotene). These carotenoids are used to build the type of vitamin A used by our body. Vitamin A is important to vision and the growth of the bones. <P> 1 Vitamin A obtained from colorful fruits and vegetables is in the form of provitamin A carotenoids, which are converted to retinol by the body after the food is ingested. 2 Good food sources of provitamin A carotenoids include carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale and cantaloupes. | Good health |
how fast is the tesla model s | <P> Follow John. Add to circle. Many Tesla fans and electric-car drivers now know about the Model S P85D, Tesla's all-wheel-drive electric car that's arguably the fastest four-door sedan on the market. What most of them likely don't know is just what the car's ultimate performance mode, called Insane, actually feels like. 2014 Tesla Model S P85D, road test, Dec 2014 [photo: David Noland]. When it was first announced by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the all-wheel-drive D version of the Tesla Model S had been expected as an addition to the lineup. But the all-out highest-performance model, the P85D, hadn't been. <P> Musk also said Tesla will upgrade the battery pack of the Model S to improve its range, something it plans to do every year. The upgrade will cost about $3,000, and it will give the car a range of about 300 miles on the highway on a single battery charge, about 15 miles more than the current version. CEO Elon Musk said Friday that the upgrade will cost $10,000 for new buyers of the Model S, whose base price is $70,000. Current Model S owners will be able to get the upgrade for $5,000 plus the cost of installation in the next six months. <P> Our intrepid driver Elliot states that the expected top speed of the Tesla Model S is around 130 mph, but he wanted to prove it. In possibly the quietest top speed run of all time, Elliot pegs the accelerator and in just 12 seconds gets the Model S up to 100 mph. The Tesla Model S is many things; an electric car, sure, but it’s also billed as a luxury car as well. But wait, it’s also a performance vehicle, capable of beating such venerable sports cars like the Dodge Viper. <P> Tesla announced Thursday that the all-wheel-drive versions of its Model S electric car will manage a slight increase in range of about 10 miles on a charge vs. the rear-drive models — for a maximum of 275 miles — because of efficiencies designed into the new system. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors Inc., shows how the sensing features being addedd to the Model S electric sedan work Ringo H.W. Chiu, AP. Fullscreen. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors Inc., announces its new Tesla D, a new all-wheel-drive version of the Tesla Model S <P> The Tesla Model S is a full-sized plug-in electric five-door, luxury liftback, produced by Tesla Motors. Since its introduction in June 2012 it has achieved rapidly growing sales, particularly in Norway and California. It scored a perfect 5.0 NHTSA automobile safety rating. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official range for the Model S Performance model equipped with an 85 kWh battery pack is 265 miles (426 km), topping the Tesla Roadster to lead the electric car market. The Tesla Model S won awards such as the 2013 World Green Car of the Year, 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year, Automobile Magazine 's 2013 Car of the Year, Time Magazine Best 25 Inventions of the Year 2012 award and Consumer Reports ' top-scoring car ever. In 2015, Car and Driver named the Model S the Car of the Century. <P> Not only does the 85 kWh Model S have an impressive 265-mile EPA-rated range, but it'll do the benchmark 0-60 mph sprint in only 4.4 seconds. That means the all-electric luxury sport sedan from Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA] is at least as fast as V-8 German super sedans like the BMW M5. Given the Tesla's hefty weight at the curb of 4,690 lbs, it's even more impressive--weight is typically the enemy of speed. Huge low-down torque helps, of course--the 416-hp Model S Performance develops 443 lbs-ft from zero to 5,100rpm, and power delivery is much smoother too. <P> Tesla's claims for charging speed are not absolute. Weasel-words like up to and as fast as pepper the discussion. One says a Supercharger will provide half a charge in about 20 minutes.. At the Supercharger unveiling they said they could provide 3 hours of driving in as little as 30 minutes.. <P> So just how fast is the Tesla Model S? Let’s go on a top speed run to find out.
