what is the relationship between chromosomes and genes | <P> A gene is a basic unit of heredity in a living organism that normally resides in long strands of DNA called chromosomes. Genes are coded instructions that decide what the organism is like, how it behaves in its environment and how it survives. <P> How Genes are Inherited. The process of meiosis splits chromosome pairs in half so that instead of having 46 chromosomes, the resulting cells only have 23 chromosomes each, and only contain half of the genetic material from the parent cell. Everyone has the same genetic complement, but genes can be expressed differently based on what allele -- genetic variant -- a person possesses. We all have genes for hair color, for example, but the expression of that gene is what determines the actual color of your hair. We all have the same set of genes. <P> A gene is a sequence of DNA that determines a particular trait. A chromosome is a coiled DNA chromosome that contains the organisms genetic code (aka-genes). A chromosome is a long packaged DNA sequence. The human diploid (DNA From both mother and father) cell has 46 of these. A chromosome contains thousands of genes which are the … sequences in the actual DNA that code for end products such as proteins. <P> Chromosomes are strans of DNA genes are what chromosomes are made up of. A gene can be dominant or recessive and that is why one of you parents has brown eyes and the other ha … s blue and you have brown because brown eyes is dominant and blue is recessive. Hope this helps. 4 people found this useful. A gene is the specific section of DNA that codes for a functional product (i.e. a protein).

Share to: 1 The Five Major Parts of the Brain At its most basic, the brain controls the body. <P> The resulting bundle is called a chromosome. A Gene is a particular section of the chromosome's DNA string. There are many such sections on the DNA string-thus it contains (also calls 'codes') many genes-in humans between 500 and 4500 depending on what chromosome. One gene contains information for producing one particular protein. A chromosome is a long packaged DNA sequence. The human diploid (DNA From both mother and father) cell has 46 of these. A chromosome contains thousands of genes which are the … sequences in the actual DNA that code for end products such as proteins. <P> DNA forms chromosomes which in cells form genetic codes (genes) in the nucleus, DNA is copied in cell division to make new chromosomes and some (very few) mutate and form new genes. All such genes are packed in cells in the form of chromosomes. Such closed parallelism was recognized by Sutton and Boveri between genes and chromo somes. PARALLELISM BETWEEN GENES AND CHROMOSOMES The chromosomes, and therefore the genes, are made up of the chemical substance called DNA. <P> Chromosomes are molecules that consist of a very long strand of DNA coiled many times, and a few proteins called histones which hold the whole structure together. To put things very simply, chromosomes are made up of genes and genes are made of DNA. All such genes are packed in cells in the form of chromosomes. Such closed parallelism was recognized by Sutton and Boveri between genes and chromo somes. PARALLELISM BETWEEN GENES AND CHROMOSOMES The chromosomes, and therefore the genes, are made up of the chemical substance called DNA. <P> The cell’s nucleus contains chromosomes chromosomes: Rod shaped bodies found in the nucleus of cells that contain genetic information (DNA). made from long DNA molecules. The diagram shows the relationship between the cell, its nucleus, chromosomes in the nucleus, and genes. Nucleus, chromosome and gene. Page: 1 1. 2 2. 3 3. 4 4. <P> Best Answer: DNA is the entire genetic material. A Chromosome is a strand of DNA containging the genes. A gene is a part of a chromosome which carries the information that is passed on to offspring. All such genes are packed in cells in the form of chromosomes.

where are tornadoes mostly located | <P> Another criterion for the location of Tornado Alley (or Tornado Alleys) can be where the strongest tornadoes occur more frequently. Tornado Alley can also be defined as an area reaching from central Texas to the Canadian prairies and from eastern Colorado to western Pennsylvania. The southeastern U.S. region is particularly prone to violent, long track tornadoes. Much of the housing in this region is less robust than in other parts of the USA and many people live in mobile homes. As a result, tornado related casualties in the southern U.S. are particularly high. <P> The location that has the highest frequency of tornadoes is called tornado ally. Tornado Ally is mostly known as the middle of the United states, which is northern Texas, Okla … homa, eastern Colorado, and the southwestern part of Iowa. Some people also say Ohio and Illinois are are part of it, too. Tornado Alley is located in the central U.S. as that is where warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets with cool air from Canada and dry … air from the Rocky Mountains. The warm, moist air acts a fuel for thunderstorms while the incoming cool, or dry air mass, sometimes both, act as a trigger for their development. <P> Tornadoes are most common in the central part of the United States, known as the Great Plains. This area is suited to bring all of the ingredients together to forms tornadoes. More than 500 tornadoes typically occur in this area every year and is why it is commonly known as Tornado Alley.. Copyright 2009 WFMZ. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed <P> About 90% of all tornadoes worldwide occur in the United States. More than half strike within a couple of hundred miles of Missouri and Arkansas. Tornadoes occur frequently in … Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. They are a bit less frequent in the northern plains states and Ohio Valley. Nearly every state in the USA has had tornadoes at some time. (tornado alley) Why they occur is because: they get warm moist air from the gulf of Mexico that collides with cold … dry air from Canada, and they get contained in this area by the mountain ranges that are on either side, when the air collides they swirl around each other causing a tornado. 2 people found this useful. <P> Tornado Alley is a region in the United States that gets more tornadoes, especially strong ones, than anywhere else in the world.

The warm, moist air acts a fuel for thunderstorms while the incoming cool, or dry air mass, sometimes both, act as a trigger for their development. <P> East of the Rocky Mountains is where tornadoes most often occur, specifically in a sub-region known as Tornado Alley. Tornado Alley includes the Midwest states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, as well as the southern state of Texas. <P> Tornadoes occur in many parts of the world, including Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America. Even New Zealand reports about 20 tornadoes each year. Two of the highest concentrations of tornadoes outside the U.S. are Argentina and Bangladesh. <P> Bob The Storm Chaser (Geography Project). Commonly Tornadoes are found in the USA, but can be found all over the world. The area of the US called tornado alley seems to get the most tornadoes. This area includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Tornadoes occur here because of three things, heat, moisture, and lifting. The moisture comes from the Gulf of Mexico, the heating from the sun, and the lifting comes from the dry line | United States. |
what is low dose cancer screening | <P> The type of low-dose CT scan that is recommended for lung cancer screening is a newer form of CT scan known as a low-dose spiral or helical CT scan. The low-dose spiral CT scan continuously rotates in a spiral motion and takes several 3-dimensional X-rays of the lungs. <P> The exam for CT lung cancer screening is a low-dose CT exam, with a radiation dose of approximately 1.5 mSv (millisieverts), equivalent to approximately half of the naturally occurring background radiation that a person receives for one year at sea level. The low-dose CT exam does not require intravenous contrast. <P> Screening means testing for a disease when there are no symptoms or history of that disease. Doctors recommend a screening test to find a disease early, when treatment may work better. The only recommended screening test for lung cancer is low-dose computed tomography (also called a low-dose CT scan, or LDCT). <P> Summary of Recommendation and Evidence. The USPSTF recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in adults aged 55 to 80 years who have a 30 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. <P> People at high risk for lung cancer who benefit from annual screening with low-dose CT according to new guidelines published by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force are between 55* and 80 years old, currently smoke or quit in the last 15 years, and smoked at least an estimated. Mike Dudley: CT Screening Patient. <P> The Lung Cancer Screening is a low-dose CT scan (computed tomography) which is a type of imaging. The scan covers the entire chest and provides a more detailed look than a standard chest X-ray. The exam takes about 15 minutes in total, with the actual scan lasting only 5 to 10 seconds. <P> The low dose CT lung screening exam is for patients 55-80* who have smoked at least one pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years or at least two packs of cigarettes a day for 15 years. Patients will need a script from their healthcare provider indicating LOW DOSE CT LUNG SCREENING. | A type of imaging that covers the entire chest and provides a more detailed look than a standard chest X-ray. |
where is the vascular cambium located | <P> 15. The vascular cambium is the secondary meristematic tissue that forms the vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) of the plant in roots and in the stem. Usually, the outer side of the vascular cambium produces a layer of phloem and the inner (more central) side of the tissue produces a layer of xylem. Lateral, or secondary, meristems, consist of the cambium and the phellogen (also known as cork cambium). These are tissues in the stem, branches and roots that generate other tissues via mitosis. These tissues participate in the secondary growth of plant, that is, in the thickening of the stem, branches and roots. <P> 1 APICAL meristems (located at the tips of roots and shoots) give rise to three PRIMARY MERISTEMS (protoderm, ground meristem, and procambium). 2 LATERAL MERSTEMS are cylindrical, secondary meristems in both stem and root that give rise to either vascular tissue or secondary dermal tissues. 3 They are the. <P> Cork cambium (pl. cambia or cambiums) is a tissue found in many vascular plants as part of the periderm. The cork cambium is a lateral meristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. It is found in woody and many herbaceous dicots, gymnosperms and some monocots (although monocots usually lack secondary growth). It is one of the many layers of bark, between the cork and primary phloem. The function of cork cambium is to produce the cork, a tough protective material. Synonyms for cork cambium are bark cambium, pericambium and phellogen. <P> Vascular cambia are found in dicots and gymnosperms but not monocots, which usually lack secondary growth. A few leaf types also have a vascular cambium. Vascular cambium does not transport water, minerals, or dissolved food through the plant. It does, however, produce the phloem and xylem, which do perform these functions. For successful grafting, the vascular cambia of the rootstock and scion must be aligned so they can grow together. <P> The vascular cambium adds to secondary xylem and secondary phloem while the cork cambium gives rise to cork and secondary cortex. The vascular cambium is a remnant of the apic … al meristem while the cork cambium is a true secondary meristem which develops outside the vascular tissues. 14 people found this useful <P> Vascular cambium and cork cambium: These are referred to as secondary meristems because they produce secondary tissues, and increase the thickness of the plant body. This process is called secondary growth, seen in dicotyledons and gymnosperms. Parenchyma is the fundamental tissue of the plant body. It is found in every part of the plant body like pith and cortex of stem and root, mesophyll of leaves, flesh of fruits, floral parts and even in xylem and Phloem. Cells have thin primary walls and polyhedral shapes. <P> The vascular cambium then produces secondary xylem on the inside of the ring, and secondary phloem on the outside, pushing the primary xylem and phloem apart. Vascular cambium does not transport water, minerals, or dissolved food through the plant. It does, however, produce the phloem and xylem, which do perform these functions. For successful grafting, the vascular cambia of the rootstock and scion must be aligned so they can grow together. <P> The shoot tissues arise from the shoot apical meristem as dermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. Secondary meristems (vascular cambium and cork cambium) then add girth to the plant by adding secondary xylem, phloem, and cork. Top of Page. Shoot Apical Meristem: the apical meristem includes the a group of dividing cells that give rise to three primary meristematic tissues, protoderm, ground meristem, and procambium. Top of Page Secondary Stem Tissues: In dicots and gymnosperms the majority of the plant tissue is composed of secondary vascular tissues. Top of Page Vascular Cambium: The vascular cambium is a layer of meristematic tissue that lies between the primary phloem and primary xylem. As the vascular cambium adds new xylem cells toward the inside of the stem and phloem cells toward the outside of the stem, the vascular bundles eventually coalesce to form a complete ring <P> The cambium present between primary xylem and primary phloem is called intrafasicular cambium. At the time of secondary growth, cells of meduallary rays, in a line with intrafasicular cambium, become meristematic and form interfasicular cambium. Vascular cambium does not transport water, minerals, or dissolved food through the plant. It does, however, produce the phloem and xylem, which do perform these functions. For successful grafting, the vascular cambia of the rootstock and scion must be aligned so they can grow together. | The vascular cambium is a layer of meristematic tissue that lies between the primary phloem and primary xylem. |

what is the difference between a direct skip and indirect skip | <P> Section 2632(c) defines indirect skips and applies special rules to the allocation of GST exemption to such transfers. In general, an indirect skip is a transfer of property that is subject to gift tax (other than a direct skip) and is made to a GST trust. <P> A generation skipping transfer (GST) refers to the shift of property by gift or at death to a person who is two or more generations below that of the person granting the gift. The person giving the gift is referred to as the transferor and the recipient is known as the skip person. Many people use a grandchild as a skip person, but a skip person does not have to be a family member. Any individual other than a spouse or ex-spouse is eligible to receive a generation skipping transfer as long as they are at least 37.5 years younger than the transferor. <P> Indirect Skip (Tax) Law & Legal Definition. A generation skipping transfer (GST) refers to the shift of property by gift or at death to a person who is two or more generations below that of the person granting the gift. A non-skip person is the primary beneficiary who will receive property before it is transferred to the skip person. The transfer to the skip person takes place upon the death of the non-skip person. Typically, a non-skip person is the child of the transferor. <P> There are two types of indirect skips, the taxable termination and the taxable distribution. A taxable termination involves a skip person and a non-skip person. A non-skip person is the primary beneficiary who will receive property before it is transferred to the skip person. The transfer to the skip person takes place upon the death of the non-skip person. Typically, a non-skip person is the child of the transferor. An example of a taxable termination would be a transferor establishing a trust that provides income for his <P> Taxable Termination. A taxable termination is an indirect skip. The transferor sets up a trust for his child or any non-skip person with a clause that stipulates that the trust will be transferred to a grandchild or other skip person upon the non-skip person's death. A common legal practice in estate law is the making of a gift in the form of a trust or lump sum. In 1976 the U.S. government introduced the Generation Skipping Transfer Tax, imposing a flat-rate tax on all gifts or transfers of property to a recipient at least 37.5 years younger than the donor. <P> Direct Skip (Tax) Law & Legal Definition. The taxation of a Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax (GST) depends on whether the transfer is a direct or an indirect skip.

what type of democracy governs the united states | <P> Confidence votes 149. The United States is a federal republic, and operates under a form of representative democracy whereby people are elected to represent the will of their respective home regions (rather than a direct democracy where decisions are put to a vote of the citizenry). The United States is often called a representative democracy, and a democratic republic. The United States is certainly not a pure democracy. <P> Democracy. The United States has had the same type of government for more than 200 years. It’s called a “representative democracy.” Among the nations of the world, it is unusual for a system of government to last so long. <P> The United States is, indeed, a republic, not a democracy. Accurately defined, a democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums. By popular usage, however, the word democracy come to mean a form of government in which the government derives its power from the people and is accountable to them for the use of that power. In this sense the United States might accurately be called a democracy. <P> But there is no basis for saying that the United States is somehow “not a democracy, but a republic.” “Democracy” and “republic” aren’t just words that a speaker can arbitrarily define to mean something (e.g., defining democracy as “a form of government in which all laws are made directly by the people”). A common definition of “democracy” is, “Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives” — we are that, too. The United States is not a direct democracy, in the sense of a country in which laws (and other government decisions) are made predominantly by majority vote. Some lawmaking is done this way, on the state and local levels, but it’s only a tiny fraction of all lawmaking <P> The United States is a democracy, but not a direct one (Myth). Although each branch of government derives its power from majority rule or approval-executive, legislative, judicial, and monetary-the people do not vote for them directly. America, then, is not truly a democracy, but is a republic. A republic is a representative democracy, and laws are passed not by the people themselves but by their elected representatives. In this republic, the people vote for their Senators and Representatives, who, in turn, vote on the laws (Myth). The people vote on a slate of electors, who then vote for the president. <P> As a Constitutional Republic, the United States have a constitution and laws that puts checks and balances in place so that certain minorities are protected from the tyranny of the majority. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy#....

This condition usually causes frequent and sometimes severe infections in infants and young children. <P> mannan-binding lectin (MBL), a circulating plasma, acute phase protein of hepatic origins that plays an important role in the innate immune response to infection, because it binds to carbohydrates on bacteria, and subsequently activates the complement pathway. <P> Reference Range(s). Mannan-Binding Lectin (MBL) is a serum collection (c-type lectin) and is considered an important component of the innate immune system. Clinical studies have used 50 or 100 ng/mL to define severe MBL deficiency <P> Mannose-binding lectin deficiency is a condition that affects the immune system. People with this condition have low levels of an immune system protein called mannose-binding lectin in their blood. This gene provides instructions for making a protein that assembles into a complex called mannose-binding lectin. Functional mannose-binding lectins are made up of two to six protein groups called trimers, which are each composed of three of the protein pieces (subunits) produced from the MBL2 gene. <P> Mannose-binding lectin (MBL), also called mannose-binding protein or mannan-binding protein (MBP), is a lectin that is instrumental in innate immunity. Contents. In order to activate the complement system when MBL binds to its target (for example, mannose on the surface of a bacterium), the MASP protein functions to cleave the blood protein C4 into C4a and C4b. The C4b fragments can then bind to the surface of the bacterium, and initiate the formation of a C3-convertase. <P> Mannan-Binding Lectin (MBL) is a serum collection (c-type lectin) and is considered an important component of the innate immune system. <P> INTRODUCTION.

The panel <P> It can shrink about 1/16th of an inch for every ten feet of length. This shrinkage creates tension within the concrete that tries to tear it apart. Professionals who install concrete driveways install crisp tooled lines in the slabs. These are called control joints. <P> 1 For an unreinforced slab, control joints should be spaced in feet 2 to 3 times the slab thickness in inches. 2 In other words, for a 4-inch slab, space the joints 8 to 12 feet apart. 3 The spacing is highly dependent on the concrete mix's shrinkage potential. <P> What a contraction joint really is in the end is a crack in the slab that we force to follow a line of our own choosing.

name the major vessels that leave the heart and identify where they lead to | <P> Let's review: your aorta exits your heart from the left ventricle. It is the largest artery and carries blood from the heart to the body. Because blood is propelled out of your heart under high pressure, the aorta contains elastic fibers that allow it to expand and relax. <P> Review 3. Go back to your pulmonary artery. Look at the back side of the heart and see the pulmonary artery branches into two holes. You may not see this because of the fat on the heart. These blood vessels (the pulmonary arteries) leave the right ventricle and lead to the _________________________. The pulmonary artery to the lungs can be seen curving out of the right ventricle toward the left side of the heart (toward your right). Locate the superior and inferior vena cavas Locate the two large blood vessels that enter the right atrium. These are the superior and inferior vena cavas. <P> Report Abuse. Strictly speaking, all the veins lead to the heart. However, there are three (answer a) that directly enter the heart. The superior and inferior vena cavae (plural form of vena cava) enter the right atrium, and the pulmonary vein enters the left atrium. <P> There are three major types of blood vessels: the arteries, which carry the blood away from the heart; the capillaries, which enable the actual exchange of water and chemicals between the blood and the tissues; and the veins, which carry blood from the capillaries back toward the heart. <P> Answer by Cowleya. Confidence votes 10.2K. Four main blood vessels enter/exit the heart: two veins and two arteries. Oxygenated blood enters the left ventricle through the pulmonary vein. This same blood is then pumped out of the left atrium via the aorta. Oxygenated blood enters the heart in the pulmonary vein. It passes through the left ventricle, before exiting in the aorta. 6 people found this useful. Edit. Share to: 1 The Five Major Parts of the Brain At its most basic, the brain controls the body. <P> Coronary circulation is the circulation of blood in the blood vessels of the heart muscle (myocardium). The vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium are known as coronary arteries. The vessels that remove the deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle are known as cardiac veins. These include the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, the small cardiac vein and the anterior cardiac veins. <P> Best Answer: The heart is divided into left heart and right heart functionally. Left heart:-- Incoming blood vessel: Pulmonary vein. The pulmonary veins are large blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. In humans there are four pulmonary veins, two from each lung. They carry oxygenated blood, which is unusual since almost all other veins carry deoxygenated blood. The aorta distributes oxygenated blood to all parts of the body through the systemic circulation. Right heart:-- Incoming blood vessel-venae cavae. The superior and inferior vena cava are collectively called the venae cavae. They are the veins that return deoxygenated blood from the body, into the heart. <P> Collateral circulation is a network of tiny blood vessels, and, under normal conditions, not open. When the coronary arteries narrow to the point that blood flow to the heart muscle is limited (coronary artery disease), collateral vessels may enlarge and become active. Two major coronary arteries branch off from the aorta near the point where the aorta and the left ventricle meet. These arteries and their branches supply all parts of the heart muscle with blood. 1 Left Main Coronary Artery. | The pulmonary artery and superior and inferior vena cavas. |
asphalt resurface cost | <P> Driveway resurfacing is an attractive, long-lasting and cost-effective option for renewing an old asphalt driveway. A typical project involves repairing and preparing the old driveway surface and applying a 1 -inch or thicker layer of new hot mix asphalt (or blacktop, the same stuff used on roadways). The cost of driveway resurfacing ranges widely and may start as low as $1 per square foot and go up to over $3 per square foot. <P> At that approximate cost, a driveway contractor will dig out 4-6 inches of whatever you already have in place, replace it with clean driveway gravel and grade it to a level and compacted surface. After that, they will put down 3-4 inches of base asphalt, and a final coating of 1-2 inches of topcoat. * Note that the any asphalt driveway cost calculators you use online are only going to be rough estimates. The only way to get an accurate cost quote, is to get quotes from local contractors <P> 1 According to Drivewayguide.com, the cost of asphalt resurfacing is less than having a new asphalt driveway installed. 2 The cost of asphalt replacement, where a fresh topcoat is placed onto the old asphalt surface, is around $1.50 to $2 per square foot. Asphalt resurfacing, however, is a simply layer of asphalt (usually 1-3″ thick) that is laid on top of the existing asphalt. 1 The cost of asphalt resurfacing varies widely. <P> An asphalt paver in the Northern VA area just gave me a price quote of $5,495 for applying a 2 1/2 inch layer of state approved asphalt on my 20-year old driveway with 3,285 suare feet, and I'm wondering if this price is fair. That works out to about $1.67 per square foot. <P> 1 According to other sources, an asphalt resurfacing may cost around $5,495 for applying a 2 ½ inch layer of state approved asphalt of 3,285 square feet. 2 This is around $1.67 per square foot based on the information from Gardenweb.com. Asphalt resurfacing, however, is a simply layer of asphalt (usually 1-3″ thick) that is laid on top of the existing asphalt. 1 The cost of asphalt resurfacing varies widely. <P> To calculate the asphalt driveway cost, you just need to take a measurement of length x width to get the approximate square foot area, and multiply it by the average cost of $3-$4/square foot. Example: A driveway that’s 10′ wide and 60′ long equals 600 square feet. After that, they will put down 3-4 inches of base asphalt, and a final coating of 1-2 inches of topcoat. * Note that the any asphalt driveway cost calculators you use online are only going to be rough estimates. <P> Cost of Resurfacing. Resurfacing usually costs anywhere from $1 to $2 per square foot. The price varies based on factors such as your geographic location, local competition, the season and the condition of your driveway. So the cost to resurface a 3,000 square foot driveway would be anywhere from $3,000 to $6,000. Repaving is more expensive than resurfacing because the job requires significantly more time, materials and labor. The cost is usually at least one-third more than resurfacing, and sometimes double the cost <P> 1 Macadam typically lasts 6-10 years and provides the decorative and rustic appearance of a gravel driveway but with a firm base. 2 An asphalt driveway costs about $2 -$5 a square foot, or $1,200 -$3,000 for 12'x50' to $31,000 -$75,000 for a 12' lane a quarter mile long. 1 Also called tar and chip or oil and stone, macadam driveway can cost $1 -$3 or more a square foot on an existing driveway, or $600 -$1,800 for 12'x50'; and $2 -$4 or more a square foot for a completely new driveway with gravel base, or $1,200 -$2,400 for 12'x50'. <P> 1 Depending on the company performing the job, the costs for asphalt resurfacing will usually range around $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. 2 According to Drivewayguide.com, the cost of asphalt resurfacing is less than having a new asphalt driveway installed. Asphalt resurfacing, however, is a simply layer of asphalt (usually 1-3″ thick) that is laid on top of the existing asphalt. 1 The cost of asphalt resurfacing varies widely. | $5,495 for applying a 2 ½ inch layer |

what is considered a abnormal respiratory rate | <P> Measurement [edit]. Human respiration rate is measured when a person is at rest and involves counting the number of breaths for one minute by counting how many times the chest rises. An optical breath rate sensor can be used for monitoring patients during a magnetic resonance imaging scan. The typical respiratory rate for a healthy adult at rest is 12–20 breaths per minute. Average resting respiratory rates by age are: 1 birth to 6 weeks: 30–60 breaths per minute. 2 6 months: 25–4 <P> A normal respiratory rate is termed eupnea, an increased respiratory rate is termed tachypnea and a lower-than-normal respiratory rate is termed bradypnea. Breathing (which in organisms with lungs is called ventilation and includes inhalation and exhalation) is a part of respiration. The typical respiratory rate for a healthy adult at rest is 12–20 breaths per minute. Average resting respiratory rates by age are: 1 birth to 6 weeks: 30–60 breaths per minute. 2 6 months: 25–4 <P> Any lower or higher rate in respiration than the normal twelve breaths per minute (in adults) is considered abnormal and can be attributed to usual or petty occurrences such as age, agitation, sleeping and crying to severe respiratory problems like asthma etc. When inspecting respiration, it is vital to also make a note of whether one has any kind of trouble in breathing. Standard respiratory rate accounted in an adult in good physical shape during inactivity is generally specified as twelve breaths per minute but approximates do differ between basis. <P> The respiration rate is the number of breaths a person takes per minute. The rate is usually measured when a person is at rest and simply involves counting the number of breaths for one minute by counting how many times the chest rises. Respiration rates may increase with fever, illness, and with other medical conditions. <P> A respiratory rate, or breathing rate, is the number of breaths a person takes in one minute while at rest, and it can be measured by counting the number of times a person's chest rises and falls within one minute. For children from the age of one to five years old, normal respiration is 20 to 30 breaths per minute, while children who are from six to twelve years old should have a normal respiratory rate that ranges from 12 to 20 breaths per minute. <P> Definition. Respiratory rate (also known as ventilation rate, respiration rate, breathing rate, pulmonary ventilation rate, breathing frequency, and respiratory frequency or Rf) = the number of breaths a person takes during one minute. It is usually measured at rest, while sitting. Medical textbooks suggest that the normal respiratory rate for adults is only 12 breaths per minute at rest. Older textbooks often provide even smaller values (e.g., 8-10 breaths per minute). <P> A dog respiratory rate under 10 breaths per minute is considered abnormal, and so is a rate of more than 30 breaths per minute. If your pet's respiratory rate is abnormal, this may be due to a wide range of illnesses. An increased respiratory rate may be indicative of: 1 Heat stroke. 2 Exhaustion. 3 Poisoning. <P> The respiration rate is the number of breaths a person takes per minute. The rate is usually measured when a person is at rest and simply involves counting the number of breaths for one minute by counting how many times the chest rises. Respiration rates may increase with fever, illness, and with other medical conditions. When checking respiration, it is important to also note whether a person has any difficulty breathing. Normal respiration rates for an adult person at rest range from 12 to 16 breath <P> This answer has been marked for improvement. Answer by Egivens7. Confidence votes 1. An abnormal respiratory rate is the number of times that a person breathes in one minute that is outside of the normal range of respirations in most people. The average normal rate for adults is 60 to 90, and for infants it is 100 to 140. | The typical respiratory rate for a healthy adult at rest is 12–20 breaths per minute. |
what is a prolapse | <P> Mitral (MI-tral) valve prolapse (MVP) is a condition in which the heart's mitral valve doesn't work well. The flaps of the valve are floppy and don't close tightly. These flaps normally help seal or open the valve. Much of the time, MVP doesn't cause any problems. <P> Prolapse is a hernia of the vagina that a woman may feel as a bulge or pressure. This is referred to in many different ways. Sometimes it is called a “dropped bladder”, “dropped uterus,” “dropped vagina,” or “dropped rectum.” It affects 1 in 10 women. <P> In medicine, prolapse is a condition where organs, such as the uterus, fall down or slip out of place. <P> Vaginal Prolapse Overview. The network of muscles, ligaments, and skin in and around a woman's vagina acts as a complex support structure that holds pelvic organs, and tissues in place. This support network includes the skin and muscles of the vagina walls (a network of tissues called the fascia). <P> Uterine prolapse may be incomplete or complete. An incomplete prolapse occurs when the uterus is only partly sagging into the vagina. A complete prolapse describes a situation in which the uterus falls so far down that some tissue rests outside <P> Pelvic organ prolapse is a medical condition that arises when the normal support of the vagina is lost, resulting in the descent of one or more pelvic structures (bladder, urethra, cervix or vagina). <P> Prolapse literally means to fall out of place‚ from the Latin prolabi meaning to fall out.. In medicine, prolapse is a condition where organs, such as the uterus, fall down or slip out of place. It is used for organs protruding through the vagina or the rectum or for the misalignment of the valves of the heart. <P> By Dr Tomislav Meštrović, MD, PhD. Prolapse is a common condition in medicine which occurs when the structures designed to keep organs in place weaken or stretch, causing them to literally “fall out of place”. | A hernia of the vagina that a woman may feel as a bulge or pressure. |

what does the inr number mean minutes | <P> The higher the INR number, the thinner your blood. The lower the number the thicker your blood ... 1 is normal blood without blood thinners. And although we say thinner generally what that means is that it takes longer to clot. With an INR of 2, your blood takes twice as long as normal unthinned blood. <P> International Normalized Ratio (INR) is a blood test that measures the time it takes for blood to clot. This test is usually administered to people taking anticoagulants or blood thinners. The lower the INR number, the shorter it takes for blood to clot and the greater risk you have for blood clots. The higher the INR number, the longer it takes for blood to clot and the greater risk you have of bleeding. Most healthy people will have an INR of 0.9 - 1.3. 1 Patients who are taking blood thinners such as Warfarin are usually considered therapeutic by their doctors when their INR is between 2.0 and 3.0. <P> A PT/INR value higher than normal means your blood is taking longer than normal to form a clot.

how long is cooked meat good if refrigerated | <P> GRAVY & BROTH: Cooked gravy and broth will stay fresh and safe to eat for 1-2 days in your refrigerator. Freeze it into ice cube trays and you’ll have a handy burst of flavor to add to your next meal. PASTA: Cooked pasta keeps for 3-5 days in the refrigerator, although pasta in soups will swell after the first day. <P> Store Leftovers Safely. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or frozen for 3 to 4 months. Although safe indefinitely, frozen leftovers can lose moisture and flavor when stored for longer times in the freezer. <P> The USDA says to eat refrigerated leftovers within 4 days. Be aware that how long you leave something out before refrigeration and the size of the container can shorten the edible lifetime.

how did the student known as the Arkansas nine impact the civil rights movement | <P> Little Rock Nine. Led by civil rights pioneer Daisy Bates, these nine brave Arkansas teenagers broke through racial barriers to become the first black students to attend Little Rock High School. On September 4, 1957, the first day of classes at Central High, Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas called in the state National Guard to bar the black students’ entry into the school. <P> Little Rock Central High School still functions as part of the Little Rock School District, and is now a National Historic Site that houses a Civil Rights Museum, administered in partnership with the National Park Service, to commemorate the events of 1957. By the end of September 1957, the nine were admitted to Little Rock Central High under the protection of the 101st Airborne Division (and later the Arkansas National Guard), but they were still subjected to a year of physical and verbal abuse (being spat on and called names) by many of the white students. <P> The Civil Rights Movement. September 23, 1957 was no ordinary school day for Elizabeth Eckford and eight other African American teenagers in Little Rock, Arkansas. Little Rock Central High School, like many schools across the country, was segregated. But the Supreme Court had ruled that segregation, or the legal separation of blacks and whites in public facilities, was illegal. And these nine students, who would be known as The Little Rock Nine, would be the first African Americans to attend Little Rock's Central High. <P> In a key event of the American Civil Rights Movement, nine black students enrolled at formerly all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in September 1957, testing a landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional. On September 4, 1957, the first day of classes at Central High, Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas called in the state National Guard to bar the black students’ entry into the school. <P> Bates, and Christopher Mercer Jr. were the 2012 Arkansas Civil Rights Heritage honorees along with the members of the Little Rock Nine. They were honored for their dedication to obtaining equal rights in education in Arkansas, particularly, during the integration of Central High School. During the Central High crisis, Bates was a mentor to the Little Rock Nine. Bates became known as the principal spokesperson and leader for the movement to desegregate Central and became a state and nationally recognized advocate for civil rights. She and her husband, L.C. <P> The desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, gained national attention on September 3, 1957, when Governor Orval Faubus mobilized the Arkansas National Guard in an effort to prevent nine African American students from integrating the high school. 1 The Civil Rights movement: First day of integration at Central High School, Little Rock, Arkansas; photo and first-hand account from Elizabeth Eckford's perspective (Instructional materials). 2 Teachers' Domain Civil Rights Special Collection (WGBH Educational Foundation). 3 Brown: a landmark cas <P> Little Rock Nine.

New to Old. <P> The Little Rock Nine arrived for the first day of school at Central High on September 4, 1957. Eight arrived together, driven by Bates. Eckford’s family, however, did not have a telephone, and Bates could not reach her to let her know of the carpool plans. Therefore, Eckford arrived alone. On September 4, 1957, the first day of classes at Central High, Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas called in the state National Guard to bar the black students’ entry into the school. <P> On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education that segregated schools are inherently unequal.. In September 1957, as a result of that ruling, nine African-American students enrolled at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. When Governor Faubus ordered the Arkansas National Guard to surround Central High School to keep the nine students from entering the school, President Eisenhower ordered the 101st Airborne Division into Little Rock to insure the safety of the Little Rock Nine and that the rulings of the Supreme Court were upheld. <P> Witness to one of the defining moments in the U.S. civil rights movement, Little Rock, Ark., made history in 1957 when nine African American students tested federal anti-segregation laws in public schools for the first time.

what is a coliform | <P> E. coli is a subgroup of the fecal coliform group. Most E. coli bacteria are harmless and exist in the intestines of people and warm-blooded animals. However, some strains can cause illness. The presence of E. coli in a drinking water sample usually indicates recent fecal contamination. <P> A fecal coliform (British: faecal coliform) is a facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, gram-negative, non-sporulating bacterium. Coliform bacteria generally originate in the intestines of warm-blooded animals. Fecal coliforms are capable of growth in the presence of bile salts or similar surface agents, are oxidase negative, and produce acid and gas from lactose within 48 hours at 44 ± 0.5°C. <P> Coliform is a rod-shaped bacteria which are always present in the digestive tract of warm-blooded animals, including humans. Coliforms are found in human and animal waste, and are also found in water, plants and soil. Fecal coliforms are the coliform that is found in the digestive tract of animals and humans, and is an indicator of fecal contamination. A high count of fecal coliforms is considered an accurate indicator of animal or human waste. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a major species of the fecal coliforms <P> Total coliform, fecal coliform, and E. coli. Total coliform, fecal coliform, and E. coli are all indicators of drinking water quality. The total coliform group is a large collection of different kinds of bacteria. Fecal coliforms are types of total coliform that mostly exist in feces. E. coli is a sub-group of fecal coliform <P> Fecal coliform bacteria are a sub-group of total coliform bacteria. They appear in great quantities in the intestines and feces of people and animals. The presence of these bacteria indicates that your well water is contaminated with feces or sewage, and it has the potential to cause disease.

The presence of coliform bacteria in drinking water may indicate a possible presence of harmful, disease-causing organisms. Why use coliforms to indicate water quality? <P> Coliform Bacteria are a group of microorganisms commonly found in soil, surface water, and on plants. They are also present in the intestines of animals and humans. Coliform bacteria that are washed into the ground by rain are usually filtered out as the water goes through the soil and into groundwater systems.

Some strains, however, can cause. illness. The presence of this organism indicates. fecal contamination of your well and a high risk for. <P> Coliform bacteria are often referred to as “indicator organisms” because they indicate the potential presence of disease-causing bacteria in water. The presence of coliform bacteria in water does not guarantee that drinking the water will cause an illness. Rather, their presence indicates that a contamination pathway exists between a source of bacteria (surface water, septic system, animal waste, etc.) and the water supply. <P> Coliform bacteria are a commonly used bacterial indicator of sanitary quality of foods and water. They are defined as rod-shaped Gram-negative non-spore forming and motile or non-motile bacteria which can ferment lactose with the production of acid and gas when incubated at 35–37°C. Escherichia coli (E. coli) , a rod-shaped member of the coliform group, can be distinguished from most other coliforms by its ability to ferment lactose at 44°C in the fecal coliform test, and by its growth and color reaction on certain types of culture media. | Coliforms are a broad class of bacteria . |
what is normal profit | <P> BREAKING DOWN 'Normal Profit'. A business will be in a state of normal profit when its economic profit is equal to zero, which is why normal profit is also often called “zero economic profit.” When total revenues are equal to total costs, “normal profit” and “economic profit” are the same. The method of determining whether a firm is in a state of normal profit can be represented in the following way: Total Revenue - (Explicit Expense + Implicit Expenses) = 0. If the difference between total revenue and total expenses is not equal to zero, the business in question is not in a state of normal profit. <P> DEFINITION of 'Normal Profit'. Normal profit is an economic condition occurring when the difference between a firm’s total revenue and total cost is equal to zero. Simply put, normal profit is the minimum level of profit needed for a company to remain competitive in the market. Next Up. The method of determining whether a firm is in a state of normal profit can be represented in the following way: Total Revenue - (Explicit Expense + Implicit Expenses) = 0. If the difference between total revenue and total expenses is not equal to zero, the business in question is not in a state of normal profit. <P> Super-normal (economic) profit. If a firm makes more than normal profit it is called super-normal profit. Supernormal profit is also called economic profit, and abnormal profit, and is earned when total revenue is greater than the total costs. Total costs include a reward to all the factors, including normal profit. <P> Normal profit is a component of (implicit) costs and not a component of business profit at all. It represents the opportunity cost, as the time that the owner spends running the firm could be spent on running another firm. In neoclassical microeconomic theory, profit is either of two related but distinct concepts. Economic profit is similar to accounting profit but smaller because it subtracts off the total opportunity costs (not just the explicit costs, but also the implicit costs) of a venture to an investor. Normal profit refers to zero economic profit <P> Best Answer: Normal profit happens when the Economic profit (not accounting profit) is zero (TR=TC). What you have to pay attention to is that the TC is the total of both explicit and implicit cost. (TC=explicit + implicit cost). A normal profit for me would be the same amount as my opportunity costs I had. Thus a normal profit for me would have been $50,000. I had accounting profit of $60,000. Because Accounting profit ignores opportunity costs, and economic profit considers them, my economic profit is $10,000. <P> The higher a profit margin, the more revenue the business receives. While there is no hard number for what constitutes a normal profit margin, a business usually needs a profit margin of at least 5 percent to maintain growth, unless the business has a customer base that consistently returns for more products. Value Price. One of the ways to increase a normal profit margin for a business is to determine the actual value price of a product. Some products, such as an Apple iPad as of 2011, have a high value placed upon them because of the prestige of the product combined with customer desire. <P> Loading the player... Normal profit is an economic term that means zero economic profit. To an economist, this is normal because total revenue equals total costs, which include both explicit and implicit costs. An explicit cost is what people normally think of as a cost. It is quantifiable because it involves a transaction tied to an exchange of cash at some point | Normal profit is an economic condition occurring when the difference between a firm’s total revenue and total cost is equal to zero. |
what is electrodermal testing | <P> Electrodermal activity (EDA), is the property of the human body that causes continuous variation in the electrical characteristics of the skin. <P> Reinhold Voll, MD, a German physician, developed the first electrodermal system, called the Dermatron, in the 1950's and laid the groundwork for what became known as Electroacupuncture of Voll (EAV). One of Voll's physician students simplified this system creating a second model called the Vegatest. Since Voll's time, electrodermal testing has been adopted by a wide range of alternative healthcare practitioners using it for many different things, including nutrition counseling and prescription of homeopathic remedies. <P> Electrodermal testing (ET) has its roots in acupuncture as practiced in Europe in the 1950s, and is based on the principle of galvanometric skin differentials combined with classical Chinese acupuncture theory. Since Voll's time, electrodermal testing has been adopted by a wide range of alternative healthcare practitioners using it for many different things, including nutrition counseling and prescription of homeopathic remedies. <P> Also referred to as Vega testing, Electrodermal Testing measures the strength of acupuncture points to identify weaknesses in organs. A series of point are measured to produce a complete body analysis. This test involves no needles, but simply a monitor that detects subtle changes on the surface of the skin. <P> Electrodermal testing (EDT) is an acupuncture-based approach and was developed to refine homeopathic prescriptions. EDT is currently being used as a diagnostic technique to advise patients about allergies. However, the evidence for its use in allergy testing is limited and often misrepresented. <P> Massage & other body work. Rolfing® Structural Integration. Electrodermal Screening (EDS). The Downing Clinic has offered electrodermal (EDS) biofeedback screening for many years. With the EDS software and a computer, the specialist tests energy signals in the body. Signals sent on known acupuncture pathways can help determine whether a particular system is stressed or fatigued. <P> The Electrodermal Screening Test According to traditional Chinese medicine, a form of bodily energy called chi is generated in internal organs and circulates throughout the body, forming paths near the surface of the skin called meridians. This is the basis of the electrodermal screening test (EDST). The device used in the EDST is the electrodermal screening device, or EDSD, which works by measuring electrical resistance and polarization at acupuncture points an <P> Electrodermal testing makes no sense and is not supported by any credible evidence. It is not based on science or grounded in reality; it is more akin to divination with a Magic 8 Ball. It merits a favorite phrase of Orac’s: a fetid load of dingo’s kidneys. <P> Zyto Testing, The Latest Advance in Electrodermal Testing. The father of electrodermal screening as we’ve already noted was Dr. Reinhard Voll MD in Germany in the late 1940s. The largest drawback in Electrodermal testing to date is the need to use a probe to touch the acupuncture points in order to test the resistance. It is the largest variable in the process as it relies on the tester to apply testing pressure equally every time pressure is applied. <P> ElectroDermal Screening (EDS) is a technique that measures the resistance to the flow of electrons through the body. The purpose is to detect energy imbalances along invisible lines of the body described by acupuncturists as meridians. Since illness, inflammation, and other factors cause the body's resistance to change, ElectroDermal Screening can be used to detect these changes in resistance. ElectroDermal Screening has its earliest roots in what was called galvanic skin testing. The galvanic skin response, a method of measuring the electrical resistance of the skin, was discovered in the early 1900 | Electrodermal testing (EDT) is an acupuncture-based approach and was developed to refine homeopathic prescriptions.EDT is currently being used as a diagnostic technique to advise patients about allergies. |
why do informal assessments | <P> A few types of informal assessments are as follows: Tests and quizzes-this is the typical way students are evaluated for their acquisition of knowledge, usually consisting of elements such as multiple-choice questions, true and false questions, short-answer questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and so on. In this lesson, we will discuss informal assessments used in the classroom. We will cover what informal assessments are, look at some types and examples, and then you will be asked to take a short quiz to assess your comprehension. <P> Informal assessment is a procedure for obtaining information that can be used to make judgements about children's learning behavior and characteristics or programs using means other than standardized instruments. Observations, checklists, and portfolios are just some of the informal methods of assessment available to early childhood educators. The table below outlines methods for informal assessment, their purposes, and guidelines for using them. <P> Teachers often conduct informal assessments without knowing it. When I work with my small groups of struggling math students, I often just take quick notes on what they are struggling with so that I can review the skill later, or use the information for RTI (Response to Intervention) purposes. Now that you know the strengths and weaknesses of informal assessments I hope it has become obvious that you really need both types. To paint a true and accurate picture of your students, you need to use both types. Formal assessments need to be administered to assess the overall achievement of your student. <P> In order to properly understand what informal assessments are, we should first differentiate them from formal assessments. Formal assessments are designed to tell how well a student has progressed as evaluated against other students. In this lesson, we will discuss informal assessments used in the classroom. We will cover what informal assessments are, look at some types and examples, and then you will be asked to take a short quiz to assess your comprehension. <P> Lesson Summary. Unlike formal assessments, informal assessments are what teachers use every day to evaluate the progress and comprehension skills of their individual students. These assessments come in many types, such as written work, portfolios, grading, tests, quizzes, and project-based assignments. In this lesson, we will discuss informal assessments used in the classroom. We will cover what informal assessments are, look at some types and examples, and then you will be asked to take a short quiz to assess your comprehension. <P> Ongoing assessments are particularly important for English language learners (ELLs). Standardized tests in English do not usually reflect ELLs' true content knowledge or abilities. Yet informal assessments can provide a more well-rounded picture of their skills, abilities, and ongoing progress. Today's No Child Left Behind legislation requires that meticulous records be kept on the progress of ELLs. <P> In summary, assessments are an integral part of education. Informal and formal types of assessment serve as ways to provide feedback for the student and teacher. They provide the student an opportunity for review, and they can serve as motivators. There are two overarching types of assessment in educational settings: informal and formal assessments. Both types are useful when used in appropriate situations. Informal assessments are those assessments that result from teachers' spontaneous day-to-day observations of how students behave and perform in class. <P> Strengths. One of the main strengths of informal assessments is that you can do them without a lot of planning and expense. They are less stressful for students because they often do not realize they are undergoing an assessment. You can receive immediate data and then plan accordingly. Now that you know the strengths and weaknesses of informal assessments I hope it has become obvious that you really need both types. To paint a true and accurate picture of your students, you need to use both types. Formal assessments need to be administered to assess the overall achievement of your student. <P> Formal vs Informal Assessment. Assessments are important tools that aid the teachers in gaining a better insight into the learning graphs of their students. Assessments help teachers to assess better their students as to whether or not they are grasping the lessons so that they will be able to take correct decisions. There are two major types of assessments namely formal and informal assessments. Informal assessment tools are tools that can judge and evaluate students’ performance and skill levels without making use of standardized tests and scoring patterns. There are no standardized tools to measure or evaluate the performances in these assessment tools. <P> Informal Classroom-Based Assessment.

what is kohlrabi | <P> When it's a small bulbous member of the cabbage family called kohlrabi, that's when. For all intents and purposes, kohlrabi appears to be a root vegetable in the same company as turnips, radishes and rutabagas. However, the bulbous shape is caused by a swelling of the plant's stem near the ground. In that sense, it is more of a tightly packed version of its cousin, cabbage. I try to use kohlrabi whenever I can find it because of the valuable kohlrabi nutrition. As a member of the cabbage family it contains some of the same nutrients that appear to protect us against colon cancer and prostate cancer. <P> Kohlrabi (German turnip or turnip cabbage; Brassica oleracea Gongylodes Group) is an annual vegetable, and is a low, stout cultivar of cabbage. Kohlrabi can be eaten raw as well as cooked. The taste and texture of kohlrabi are similar to those of a broccoli stem or cabbage heart, but milder and sweeter, with a higher ratio of flesh to skin. The young stem in particular can be as crisp and juicy as an apple, although much less sweet. <P> You've probably spotted knobby purple or green kohlrabi at the farmers market recently and wondered what the heck this odd-shaped thing with the weird name is! Well, it's a fantastically versatile vegetable with a taste and texture somewhere between cabbage and broccoli stems. This is a great way to get kids to eat their kohlrabi! Shred it and mix with an egg and a few tablespoons of flour or breadcrumbs. Heat oil or butter in a flat skillet, drop on small mounds, and flatten slightly with the back of your spatula. Turn after a few minutes, and serve when both sides are crispy. <P> Kohlrabi is a rather versatile vegetable when it comes to how to prepare. We usually eat them raw—peeled, sliced and added to a salad or used for serving with a dip. You can also steam, boil, bake, grill, or roast them. Just peel away the outside thick skin first. These little sputnik-shaped vegetables come in green or purple, can be eaten raw or cooked, and taste a bit like broccoli stems, but milder and slightly sweeter.

Kohlrabi, also known as knol-khol or German Turnip, is a stout, round, tuberous vegetable in the Brassica family, the family that also includes cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, and brussels sprouts. This stem vegetable is native to Europe. Scientific name: Brassica oleracea (Gongylodes Group). <P> Kohlrabi is a member of the cabbage family, and as such, comes with this family's signature sweet-but-peppery flavor profile. We usually eat the bulbous bottom, but the entire kohlrabi plant is actually edible. The skin has the rubbery texture of broccoli stems and can be white, light green, or bright purple. The kohlrabi turns sweet and a bit caramelized in the high heat of the oven, making a great side dish for steak, grilled fish, or almost any main course dinner. You can also stir fry bite-sized pieces, add them to soups, or steam them. In all cases, the kohlrabi is ready to eat when it is tender. <P> Pronounce it: cole-rah-bee. Looking something like a Sputnik in vegetable form, with a squat bulb and antennae-like shoots, kohlrabi is part of the cabbage family. The name translates as 'turnip cabbage' and the mild, sweet flavour is somewhere between a turnip and a waterchestnut, with a crisp, crunchy textur <P> Although kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea gongylodes) looks like no other vegetable you've ever seen, it's actually a variety (breed or race) of the species Brassica oleracea, to which cabbage, kale, collards, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower also belong. | An annual vegetable, and is a low, stout cultivar of cabbage. |
meaning of secretory organelle | <P> In eukaryotes the organelles of the endomembrane system include: the nuclear membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vesicles, endosomes and the cell membrane. The plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer membrane that separates the cell from its environment and regulates the transport of molecules and signals into and out of the cell. Embedded in the membrane are proteins that perform the functions of the plasma membrane. <P> The endomembrane system is composed of the different membranes that are suspended in the cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell. These membranes divide the cell into functional and structural compartments, or organelles. The plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer membrane that separates the cell from its environment and regulates the transport of molecules and signals into and out of the cell. Embedded in the membrane are proteins that perform the functions of the plasma membrane. <P> Best Answer: The secretary vesicle is a type of transporter organelle that is used to deliver particles within the cell or from the cell to outside of the cell. (Secretion-hence the name secretory vesicles). Source(s): the L · 6 years ago. Thumbs up. 0. Thumbs down. 0. 1 comment. Loading ... More technically, a vesicle is a small, intracellular, membrane-enclosed sac that stores or transports substances within a cell. Vesicles form naturally because of the properties of lipid membranes (see micelle). Most vesicles have specialized functions depending on what materials they contain. <P> The nuclear membrane contains two lipid bilayers that encompass the contents of the nucleus. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a synthesis and transport organelle that branches into the cytoplasm in plant and animal cells. The plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer membrane that separates the cell from its environment and regulates the transport of molecules and signals into and out of the cell. Embedded in the membrane are proteins that perform the functions of the plasma membrane. <P> Its membrane is the site of production of all the transmembrane proteins and lipids for most of the cell's organelles, including the ER itself, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endosomes, mitochondria, peroxisomes, secretory vesicles, and the plasma membrane.

It was identified in 1897 by the Italian physician Camillo Golgi and named after him in 1898. Part of the cellular endomembrane system, the Golgi apparatus packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination. <P> The membrane enclosing the vesicle is also a lamellar phase, similar to that of the plasma membrane, and vesicles can fuse with the plasma membrane to release their contents outside of the cell. Vesicles can also fuse with other organelles within the cell. Vesicles perform a variety of functions. <P> Definition. The secretory vesicle is a vesicle that mediates the vesicular transport of cargo-e.g. hormones or neurotransmitters-from an organelle to specific sites at the cell membrane, where it docks and fuses to release its content. <P> Vesicles are cellular organelles that are composed of a lipid bilayer. You can think of vesicles as cellular envelopes that are used to transport materials from one place to another. Vesicles also function in metabolism and enzyme storage as well. Plant cells are known to have large vacuoles. Lysosomes are cellular vesicles that contain digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are used by cells to break down food particles and to get rid of unneeded cellular materials. Transport vesicles move molecules within the cells. All cells make proteins and require them to function.

Luxembourgish is spoken by around 0.5% of the population, but the language has no official status. About 10% of the Belgian population are non-native, and languages spoken include Italian, Spanish, Greek, Arabic and Turkish. Official Languages: French, Dutch and German. Wallon, the local variant of French, is used by 33% of population. Flemish is used by more than 60% of the population, and is spoken in the northern part of the country. <P> They were successful enough to save Dutch in Belgium, but there was no powerful Walloon Movement to save Walloon. This is the reason why Belgium is made up of about 6,5 million Dutch speakers, 4,5 million French speakers, about 600.000 of those also speak Walloon and about 70.000 German speakers. <P> Belgium is a country, which recognises three official languages, Dutch, French and German. There are also a number of unofficial, minority languages spoken here as well. French is spoken predominantly in the area around the capital Brussels and in the region of Wallonia. Globally, around 175 million people speak French. Aside from Belgium, there are forty other countries, which count French as one of their official languages. These include France, Switzerland, Canada, Algeria, Luxembourg, Morocco, Niger, Monaco, Tunisia, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Lebanon, and Martinique. <P> Dutch is the official language of the Flemish Community and the Flemish Region (merged to Flanders) and, along with French, an official language of the Brussels-Capital Region.

what are perfluorocarbons used for | <P> Perfluorocarbons are a group of human-made chemicals composed of carbon and fluorine only. Perfluorocarbons are powerful greenhouse gases that were introduced as alternatives to ozone depleting substances. <P> PFC liquids such as those that will be used in the study are non-reactive and have been used in a number of medical applications. For example, doctors have used perfluorocarbon fluid to assist premature infants’ ability to breathe and to help develop their lung membranes. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are chemically inactive, nontoxic, and nonflammable compounds that are found in the atmosphere at very low levels. PFCs present no known danger to humans if inhaled or ingested. <P> Fluorocarbons, sometimes referred to as perfluorocarbons or PFCs, are, strictly speaking, organofluorine compounds with the formula C x F y, i.e. they contain only carbon and fluorine, though the terminology is not strictly followed. Prior to that, fluorocarbons were prepared by reaction of fluorine with the hydrocarbon, i.e., direct fluorination. Because C-C bonds are readily cleaved by fluorine, direct fluorination mainly affords smaller perfluorocarbons, such as tetrafluoromethane, hexafluoroethane, and octafluoropropane. <P> (March 2010). Liquid breathing is a form of respiration in which a normally air-breathing organism breathes an oxygen-rich liquid (such as a perfluorocarbon), rather than breathing air. Liquid breathing for acceleration protection may never be practical because of the difficulty of finding a suitable breathing medium of similar density to water that is compatible with lung tissue. Perfluorocarbon fluids are twice as dense as water, hence unsuitable for this application. <P> Definition of PERFLUOROCARBON. : any of various hydrocarbon derivatives in which all hydrogen atoms have been replaced with fluorine and that include blood substitutes used in emulsified form. ADVERTISEMENT <P> Small chain perfluorocarbons, such as perfluoro-propane, are gases that rise inside the eye and seal retinal holes. Larger chain perfluorocarbons, such as perfluoro-octane, are liquids heavier than water and are used in surgery to immobilize an infolded retina. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are compounds derived from hydrocarbons by replacement of hydrogen atoms by fluorine atoms. PFCs are made up of atoms of carbon, fluorine, and/or sulfur. <P> A class of solvent molecules that can carry nonpolar gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. They have been used experimentally in transfusion medicine and in some ophthalmic surgeries. Perfluorocarbons are also used as blood gas controls when prepared in buffered solutions equilibrated with CO 2 and O 2. They can be used for certain blood substitute purposes, regardless of the blood type of the patient; are stable at room temperatures; have a pH of 7.4; and are free of infectious pathogens. The blood substitute is an emulsion of perfluorodecalin and perfluorotripropylamine. <P> Perfluorocarbons also are used in eye surgery and as a contrast agent in medical imaging. Many PFC compounds are commercially available and have been used worldwide for decades as tracers — for example, to detect leaks in electrical transmission lines and natural gas distribution lines. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are chemically inactive, nontoxic, and nonflammable compounds that are found in the atmosphere at very low levels. PFCs present no known danger to humans if inhaled or ingested. <P> Perfluorocarbons (PFCs). Perfluorocarbons (PFCs), PFCS. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are man-made compounds containing just fluorine and carbon. They are generally colourless, odourless non-flammable gases at environmental temperatures and for the most part chemically un-reactive. <P> Medicine. Perfluorocarbons are commonly used in eye surgery as temporary replacements of the vitreous humor in retinal detachment surgery. The length of the perfluorated carbon chain determines the physical properties of a particular perfluorocarbon. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are compounds derived from hydrocarbons by replacement of hydrogen atoms by fluorine atoms. PFCs are made up of atoms of carbon, fluorine, and/or sulfur. | Use in eye surgery as temporary replacements of the vitreous humor in retinal detachment surgery. |
what causes yawning and what is it | <P> Out of the various theories regarding what causes a yawn, the most important ones are given below. A yawn is contagious, in the sense that it can easily spread to the person who is observing the other person yawning. While many take yawning to be a sign of tiredness, sleepiness, stress or simply a lack of interest, it could even be an indicator of many other physiological phenomena. This write-up elucidates on what causes one to yawn. Advertisement. <P> Causes of Yawning: The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of Yawning. There are likely to be other possible causes, so ask your doctor about your symptoms. The following drugs, medications, substances or toxins may possibly cause Yawning as a side effect. [ See detailed list of 5 drug side effect causes of Yawning 1 ]. Venlafaxine. <P> Drug side effect causes of Yawning. The following drugs, medications, substances or toxins may possibly cause Yawning as a side effect. [ See detailed list of 5 drug side effect causes of Yawning 1 ]. Venlafaxine. 2 Effexor. 3 Effexor XR <P> It's not uncommon to find that your anxiety is making you yawn more. Yawning is actually a very common symptom of anxiety, especially if you have anxiety attacks, and it's not just because anxiety can leave you fatigued. In this article, we'll explain why anxiety makes you yawn. <P> Causes of yawning a lot. The central cause of excessive yawning or yawning a lot is low CO2 (carbon dioxide) and oxygen levels in brain cells. Most modern people constantly have low brain and body oxygenation. Let us consider why. The physiological norm for breathing at rest (for adults) is only 6 L/min. <P> Yawning redirects here. For the fish species, see Yawning (fish) . A yawn is a reflex consisting of the simultaneous inhalation of air and the stretching of the eardrums, followed by an exhalation of breath. Yawning (oscitation) most often occurs in adults immediately before and after sleep, during tedious activities and as a result of its contagious quality. <P> Yawns are contagious, but they keep the brain working in peak form. By. Yawning can be a problem at the office for Lindsay Eierman. I've explained, 'I'm sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night,' says Ms. Eierman, a 26-year-old social worker from Durham, N.C. But a lack of sleep may not be the problem.... <P> Serious or life-threatening causes of yawning excessively. In some cases, yawning excessively may be a symptom of a serious or life-threatening condition that should be immediately evaluated in an emergency setting. <P> Excessive Yawning. Excessive yawning is more than a theory, it’s actually an indication of something more serious called a vasovagal reaction. The yawning occurs as a response to the vagus nerve, which is the longest cranial nerve. When this nerve acts upon the blood vessels, it causes the body to yawn. | While many take yawning to be a sign of tiredness, sleepiness, stress or simply a lack of interest, it could even be an indicator of many other physiological phenomena.

what is iron discipline | <P> Iron body is a subset discipline within Shaolin Kung Fu. Students of this martial art form subject themselves to daily exercises that harden body tissue. The practice is applied to the legs, trunk, hands, arms and head. <P> An Ironman Triathlon is one of a series of long-distance triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) consisting of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.2-mile (42.2 km) run, raced in that order and without a break. The race typically starts at 7:00 a.m.; the mandatory swim cut off for the 2.4-mile (3.9 km) swim is 9:20 a.m. (2 hours 20 minutes), the mandatory bike cut off time is 5:30 p.m. (8 hours 10 minutes), and the mandatory marathon cut off is midnight (6 hours 30 minutes). <P> The name Ironman Triathlon is also associated with the original Ironman triathlon which is now the Ironman World Championship. Held in Kailua-Kona, the world championship has been held annually in Hawaii since 1978 (with an additional race in 1982) and is preceded by a series of qualifying Ironman events. The race typically starts at 7:00 a.m.; the mandatory swim cut off for the 2.4-mile (3.9 km) swim is 9:20 a.m. (2 hours 20 minutes), the mandatory bike cut off time is 5:30 p.m. (8 hours 10 minutes), and the mandatory marathon cut off is midnight (6 hours 30 minutes). <P> Certainly not. It's a life skill that you learn, like any other, and like any other, the more you practice it, the better you get at it. The very essence of good discipline is being able to overcome (you can't avoid it altogether) the pull of 'not feeling like it'. Nothing will be allowed to stand between you and what you need to do. A consequence of this is that when we don't get the success we hope for in life, instead of committing to work harder for it, we feel cheated! In turn this can lead us into defeatism and depression and low self-esteem. But all this is wonky logic. <P> An example of a normative statement about the educational process is the following.

what is a realistic margin of error | <P> If you want to calculate your margin of error, check out our margin of error calculator. Confidence level: A measure of how certain you are that your sample accurately reflects the population, within its margin of error. Common standards used by researchers are 90%, 95%, and 99%. <P> If the statistic is a percentage, this maximum margin of error can be calculated as the radius of the confidence interval for a reported percentage of 50%. The margin of error has been described as an absolute quantity, equal to a confidence interval radius for the statistic. The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey 's results. It asserts a likelihood (not a certainty) that the result from a sample is close to the number one would get if the whole population had been queried. <P> Margin of error = Critical value x Standard deviation of the statistic. Margin of error = Critical value x Standard error of the statistic. If you know the standard deviation of the statistic, use the first equation to compute the margin of error. Otherwise, use the second equation. Previously, we described how to compute the standard deviation and standard error. <P> In the case of the December Newspoll, then, the margin of error at a 95% confidence level will be 1.96 times the standard error of .01492, which is approximately equal to 2.92% – near enough to 3% that we can use it as a round figure. <P> The margin of error for a particular statistic of interest is usually defined as the radius (or half the width) of the confidence interval for that statistic. The term can also be used to mean sampling error in general. The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey 's results. It asserts a likelihood (not a certainty) that the result from a sample is close to the number one would get if the whole population had been queried. <P> Like confidence intervals, the margin of error can be defined for any desired confidence level, but usually a level of 90%, 95% or 99% is chosen (typically 95%). This level is the probability that a margin of error around the reported percentage would include the true percentage. Along with the confidence level, the sample design for a survey, and in particular its sample size, determines the magnitude of the margin of error. The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey 's results. It asserts a likelihood (not a certainty) that the result from a sample is close to the number one would get if the whole population had been queried. <P> The Level of Confidence. The first piece of information we need to calculate the margin of error is to determine what level of confidence we desire. This number can be any percentage less than 100%, but the most common levels of confidence are 90%, 95%, and 99%. Of these three the 95% level is used most frequently. Sample Size. The only other number that we need to use in the formula to calculate the margin of error is the sample size, denoted by n in the formula. We then take the square root of this number.

what is the origin of the term tar heel | <P> Tar Heel. Tar Heel is a nickname applied to the state and inhabitants of North Carolina as well as the nickname of the University of North Carolina athletic teams, students, alumni, and fans. For a time after the Civil War, the name Tar Heel was derogatory, but it was later reappropriated by the people of North Carolina. Because the exact history of the term is unknown, a number of legends have developed to explain it. <P> Historians have recorded that the principal products during the early history of North Carolina were tar, pitch, and turpentine.. In 1862 tar-heel was introduced as a term … of ridicule. It was during one of the fiercest battles of the War Between the States, so the story goes, that the column supporting the North Carolina troops was driven from the field. Creecy relates that General Lee, upon hearing of the incident, said: God bless the Tar Heel boys, and from that they took the name (Adapted from Grandfather Tales of North Carolina by R.B. Creecy and Histories of North Carolina Regiments, Vol. III, by Walter Clark). <P> Somehow, these terms evolved until the nickname Tar Heel was used to refer to residents of North Carolina and gained prominence during the American Civil War. During this time, the nickname Tar Heel was a pejorative, but starting around 1865, the term began to be used as a source of pride. 1 In a letter dated 1864 (in the North Carolina Tar Heel Collection), a Colonel Joseph Engelhard described the Battle of Ream's Station in Virginia. <P> Now let's discuss why North Carolina is known as both the Tar Heel State and the Old North State. Old North State History In 1629, King Charles I of England erected into a province all the land from Albemarle Sound on the north to the St. John's River on the south, which he directed should be called Carolina. North Carolina is known also as the Tar Heel State and the Old North State. The following song known as The Old North State was adopted as the official song of the State of North Carolina by the General Assembly of 1927. <P> The exact etymology of the nickname is unknown, but most folklore believe its roots come from the fact that tar, pitch, and turpentine created from the vast pine forests were some of North Carolina's most important exports early in the state's history. 1 In a letter dated 1864 (in the North Carolina Tar Heel Collection), a Colonel Joseph Engelhard described the Battle of Ream's Station in Virginia. <P> The moniker is rooted in the state's earliest history, derived from the production of naval stores-tar, pitch and turpentine-extracted from the vast pine forests of the state. Early explorers from Jamestown pointed out the possibilities for naval stores production along the Chowan River. Eventually Parliament offered a bounty for their production, and North Carolina became an important source of tar and pitch for the English navy. <P> Tarheel. The word Tar Heel (or, Tarheel) is the nickname given to someone who is a native or resident of North Carolina, the Tar Heel State. The term allegedly comes from the Colonial Era in which tar was one of North Carolina's major products. tarheel. tarheel is a term used to describe someone from North Carolina. The name originated in the civil war era when a union general remarked that the NC rebels must have tar on their heels because they stick to their lines and don't run no matter how intense the battle becomes. <P> Because the exact history of the term is unknown, a number of legends have developed to explain it. One such legend claims it to be a nickname given during the U.S. Civil War, because of the state's importance on the Confederate side, and the fact that the troops stuck to their ranks like they had tar on their heels. The term Tar Heel gained popularity during the Civil War. 1 In a letter dated 1864 (in the North Carolina Tar Heel Collection), a Colonel Joseph Engelhard described the Battle of Ream's Station in Virginia. | The name originated in the civil war era when a union general remarked that the NC rebels must have tar on their heels because they stick to their lines and don't run no matter how intense the battle becomes. |

the optic nerve extends from the | <P> This nerve originates from the retinal ganglion cells in the retina and extends from the back of the eye to the brain. A ganglion is a mass of tissue composed of nerve cell bodies and a retinal ganglion cell is a type of neuron or nerve cell near the surface of the retina of the eye. When the eye is open, light hits the retina and initiates nerve impulses that travel along the optic nerves to the visual centers of the brain. The spot on the retina where the optic nerve leaves the eye is called the optic disc. <P> The inner retina is supplied by the central retinal artery, the branch of the ophthalmic artery that enters the optic nerve 4 mm posterior to the eye. The central retinal artery has 4 main branches within the retina. These vessels emerge from the optic nerve head and run radially away from the optic nerve. Retinal nerve fibers exit the eye through the optic nerve, located nasally and on the same plane as the anatomical center of the retina. There is no retinal tissue overlying the optic nerve head. The optic nerve head or optic disc is oval in shape and measures approximately 1.75 mm. <P> The optic nerve (also known as cranial nerve II) is a continuation of the axons of the ganglion cells in the retina. There are approximately 1.1 million nerve cells in each optic nerve. The optic nerve, which acts like a cable connecting the eye with the brain, actually is more like brain tissue than it is nerve tissue. blind spot. The beginning of the optic nerve in the retina is called the optic nerve head or optic disc. Since there are no photoreceptors (cones and rods) in the optic nerve head, this area of the retina cannot respond to light stimulation. As a result, it is known as the blind spot, and everybody has one in each ey <P> There are twelve cranial nerves. In terms of its embryonic development, the optic nerve is a part of the central nervous system (CNS) rather than a peripheral nerve. The word optic comes from the Greek optikos, pertaining to sight. Aside from the optic nerve, the eye has a number of other components. These include the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, macula, and vitreous. The cornea is the clear front window of the eye that transmits and focuses light into the eye. It can be viewed as the only visible part of the brain (or extension of it). The optic nerve is the second cranial nerve. The cranial nerve emerge from or enter the skull (the cranium), as opposed to the spinal nerves which emerge from the vertebral column. <P> The optic nerve lies completely within the central nervous system and is the second cranial nerve (CN II). Optic nerve anatomy is similar to brain tissue and differs from peripheral nerves in several ways. The optic nerves extends from the back of the eye to the visual centers of the brain. slide 1 of 5. The optic nerve is the nerve of sight and is the second of twelve paired cranial nerves. It is also known as CN II. This nerve is part of the central nervous system and connects the eye to the brain. When the eye is open, light hits the retina and initiates nerve impulses that travel along the optic nerves to the visual centers of the brain. The spot on the retina where the optic nerve leaves the eye is called the optic disc. <P> The optic tract (from the Latin tractus opticus) is a part of the visual system in the brain. It is a continuation of the optic nerve that relays information from the optic chiasm to the ipsilateral lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) , pretectal nuclei, and superior colliculus. <P> Optic Nerve eye-definition and function. Optic Nerve-the second cranial NERVE, which conveys nerve impulses from the EYE to the BRAIN. There are two optic nerves, one from each eye. The fibers that become the optic nerve originate in the occipital lobes of the cerebrum, in an area called the visual cortex. Each extends along structures called the optic tracts that pass through the temporal lobes and the center of the brain, converging in the optic chiasm. It appears as a pale circle, about the size of a pencil eraser, against the dark background of the retina. The retina’s network of nerves extends from the optic nerve, gathering nerve impulses from the rods, cones, and other nerve cells in the retina. | The beginning of the optic nerve in the retina is called the optic nerve head or optic disc. |
what is throughput booster | <P> Increase the effective range of your Linksys 802.11b Access Point or Wireless Access Point Router. Stronger signal improves throughput by reducing retransmissions. Save on wiring costs--increase your Access Point's coverage into hard-to-reach areas. Simple installation--stack, connect, and go. Frequency: 2.4 G Hz (802.11b wireless networks). System requirements: The Wireless Signal Booster is designed to be used only with the Linksys WAP11 wireless access point or the Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless access point router. Turn up the volume on your Wireless LAN! <P> A benchmark can be used to measure throughput. In data transmission, network throughput is the amount of data moved successfully from one place to another in a given time period, and typically measured in bits per second (bps), as in megabits per second (Mbps) or gigabits per second (Gbps).

The default setting is Disabled <P> In general terms, throughput is the rate of production or the rate at which something can be processed. When used in the context of communication networks, such as Ethernet or packet radio, throughput or network throughput is the rate of successful message delivery over a communication channel. Throughput is usually measured in bits per second (bit/s or bps), and sometimes in data packets per second (p/s or pps) or data packets per time slot. The system throughput or aggregate throughput is the sum of the data rates that are delivered to all terminals in a network. <P> A WiFi repeater could be the solution for you. A WiFi repeater or extender is used to extend the coverage area of your WiFi network. It works by receiving your existing WiFi signal, amplifying it and then transmitting the boosted signal. All you have to do is place the repeater in a location that can receive your existing WiFi network, and then attach the power supply. You can then log into the WiFi repeater via your computer, and input the login details and password of your existing WiFi network, to allow the WiFi repeater to connect and extend. <P> That gets a nice boost with BearExtender PC.

cooking temperature ground beef | <P> The FDA Food Code says that restaurants should cook ground beef to 155°F for 15 seconds. But CDC and USDA say that consumers should cook ground beef to 160°F. The guidance for consumers is different because it is simpler to meet one standard (temperature) than two (temperature and time). 1 Undercooking of ground beef. 2 We defined undercooking as cooking to less than 155°F because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code says that restaurants should cook ground beef to 155°F for 15 seconds. 3 We also looked at whether restaurants used a thermometer to check final temperatures of hamburgers <P> Bacteria multiply rapidly in the Danger Zone — temperatures between 40 and 140 °F (4.4 and 60 °C). To keep bacterial levels low, store ground beef at 40 °F (4.4 °C) or below and use within 2 days, or freeze. To destroy harmful bacteria, cook ground beef to a safe minimum internal temperature of 160 °F (71.1 °C). Change the water every 30 minutes. Cook immediately. Do not refreeze raw ground meat thawed in cold water or in the microwave oven unless you cook it first. Never leave ground beef or any perishable food out at room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour at 90 °F and above). <P> If ground beef is refrigerated promptly after cooking (within 2 hours; 1 hour if the temperature is above 90 °F), it can be safely refrigerated for about 3 or 4 days. If frozen, it should keep its quality for about 4 months. Change the water every 30 minutes. Cook immediately. Do not refreeze raw ground meat thawed in cold water or in the microwave oven unless you cook it first. Never leave ground beef or any perishable food out at room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour at 90 °F and above). <P> Destruction of the pathogens that may be present in raw ground beef, particularly E. coli, requires a cooking procedure that heats the beef to an internal temperature of 160°F (20). Use of a food thermometer is the only way to determine that the internal temperature of ground beef patties has reached 160°F (13, 19). (Unfortunately, only 13% of consumers always or often use a thermometer when cooking or grilling hamburgers (9).). Prior to 1997, consumers were encouraged to cook ground beef until “brown” in the middle to assure a safe temperature had been reached (11). However, research conducted in the 1990s determined that cooked ground beef color. does not correlate to safe endpoint temperature (2, 6, 7, 11). <P> Seafood should be thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145° F (63° C). Fish that's ground or flaked, such as a fish cake, should be cooked to at least 155° F (68° C), and stuffed fish to at least 165° F (74° C). <P> For safety, the USDA recommends cooking hamburgers and ground beef mixtures such as meat loaf to 160°F (70°C) on a meat thermometer. However, “whole muscle” meats such as steaks and roasts may be cooked to approximately. 1 145 °F (60° C) medium rare. 2 160 °F (70° C) medium. 3 175 °F (75° C) well done. Cooking times are based on starting with beef at refrigerator temperature (40 °F). Remember that appliances and outdoor grills can vary in heat. Use a meat thermometer to check for safe cooking and “doneness” of beef. <P> 1 Ground Meats: This change does not apply to ground meats, including beef, veal, lamb, and pork, which should be cooked to 160 ºF and do not require a rest time. 2 Poultry: The safe cooking temperature for all poultry products, including ground chicken and turkey, stays the same at 165 ºF. <P> Ground beef can turn brown before it reaches 160°F or it may retain a pink color at temperatures above 160°F–cooked color change in ground beef depends on a number of factors, including pH, meat source, packaging, freezing history and added ingredients (8).

However, the word yogini encompasses much more than simply a female teach <P> According to the Hatha-Yoga-Pradipika text, a yogini is a woman initiate who can preserve her own genital ejaculate (rajas) and contain the male semen (bindu) by means of the practice of the vajroli-mudra, also practiced in reverse by advanced yogis. <P> A Yogini is the sacred feminine force made incarnate: the goddesses of mythology (Lakshmi, Parvati, Durga, Kali) as well as the ordinary human woman who is enlightened, both having exuberant passion, spiritual powers and deep insight, capable of giving birth to saints, peacemakers, and Yogis. <P> Numerous great yoginis and female mystics are mentioned in the Vedas; in fact, many of the vedic rishis were yoginis, rishikas. In classical Sanskrit literature, Yogini is the name of a class of female tantric sorceresses in the train of Durga, sometimes enumerated as 60, 64 or 65 (Harivaṃśa, Kathāsaritsāgara). Female power here denotes balance. | Refers primarily to a female master practitioner of yoga. |
what type of response is a nerve impulse | <P> Neurons can respond to stimuli and conduct impulses because a membrane potential is established across the cell membrane. In other words, there is an unequal distribution of ions (charged atoms) on the two sides of a nerve cell membrane. Neurons & the Nervous System. The human nervous system consists of billions of nerve cells (or neurons)plus supporting (neuroglial) cells. Neurons are able to respond to stimuli (such as touch, sound, light, and so on), conduct impulses, and communicate with each other (and with other types of cells like muscle cells). <P> An impulse begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by a stimulus in the environment. The cell membranes begin to change the flow of ions and a reversal of charges, the action potential, results. An impulse that changes one neuron, changes the next. Appropriate responses are carried out by effectors (a muscle or gland). The Neuron. The neuron, a nerve cell, is the functional unit of the nervous system that carries the impulse (the message) to the appropriate part of the nervous system or interprets the impulse and allows a response. There are three types of neurons and each has different functions <P> Impulse conduction-an impulse is simply the movement of action potentials along a nerve cell. Action potentials are localized (only affect a small area of nerve cell membrane). So, when one occurs, only a small area of membrane depolarizes (or 'reverses' potential). Neurons & the Nervous System. The human nervous system consists of billions of nerve cells (or neurons)plus supporting (neuroglial) cells. Neurons are able to respond to stimuli (such as touch, sound, light, and so on), conduct impulses, and communicate with each other (and with other types of cells like muscle cells). <P> Neurophysiology • Neurons are highly sensitive to stimuli. When a neuron is adequately stimulated, an electrical impulse is conducted along the length of the axon. • The response is always the same, regardless of the source or type of stimulus. A.) Basic Principles of Electricity • In the body, electrical currents reflect the flow of ions across the cell membrane. <P> Nerve impulse. Definition. noun. (1) The movement of action potential along a nerve fiber in response to a stimulus (such as touch, pain, heat or cold). (2) The relaying of a coded signal that travels along a nerve cell membrane to an effector, such as muscle, gland or another nerve cell. Supplement. A nerve impulse is the relaying of a coded signal from a nerve cell to an effector (a muscle cell, a gland cell or another nerve cell) in response to a stimulus. It is the means by which a nerve cell communicates with another cell. <P> Neurons • Neurons –cells that transmit nerve impulses•3 Types of Neurons –Sensory neurons carry impulses from sense organs to the spinal cord and brain–Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands–Interneurons connect sensory and motor neurons and carry impulses between them. <P> Action potentials are generated by special types of voltage-gated ion channels embedded in a cell's plasma membrane. These channels are shut when the membrane potential is near the resting potential of the cell, but they rapidly begin to open if the membrane potential increases to a precisely defined threshold value. Several types of cells support an action potential, such as plant cells, muscle cells, and the specialized cells of the heart (in which occurs the cardiac action potential). However, the main excitable cell is the neuron, which also has the simplest mechanism for the action potential. <P> In beta cells of the pancreas, they provoke release of insulin. Action potentials in neurons are also known as nerve impulses or spikes, and the temporal sequence of action potentials generated by a neuron is called its spike train . A neuron that emits an action potential is often said to fire. Several types of cells support an action potential, such as plant cells, muscle cells, and the specialized cells of the heart (in which occurs the cardiac action potential). However, the main excitable cell is the neuron, which also has the simplest mechanism for the action potential. <P> Acetylcholine-click on image to open. When the nerve impulse reaches the pre-synaptic membrane it depolarises the membrane. This causes changes in the electrical potential of the immediate environment, i.e. a localised ion transfer reaction is started. This action alters its permeability in favour of calcium ions, Ca 2+ . | It is type of response like touch,pain,heat and cold. |
why are american eggs so yellow | <P> As you suspected, the reason Americans eggs tend to have bright yellow yolks has nothing to do with hormones but rather with what we feed our hens. Beyer says egg yolk color is almost entirely influenced by the birds' diet. So if you're feeding birds yellow corn, it gets in the egg, he explains. <P> I've noticed when I've bought Italian eggs from delis here in Europe that the yolks are very yellow-almost orange. <P> It's a sales thing-one poste above me said American eggs are very clean .. and that's why they make sure the calcium, they feed the egg-factory-hens in America, is completely refined and pure white. They don't dye white eggs brown-the brown eggs are the more natural eggs. <P> Turns out that egg yolk color is really just an indicator of the hen's diet! If they eat more yellow-orange carotenoids, or natural pigments, it affects and changes the yolk's color. <P> This also used to happen in cows: the milk was yellow in the summer when they ate grass, but white in the winter when they ate hay and grains. If you find good yellow eggs, that is a good sign that the chickens led a good life on a natural diet. Of course, the feed could just be doped with vitamin A to make the eggs look more yellow. <P> iStockPhoto. While shell and yolk color may differ between chicken eggs, the difference in color bears no relation to the flavor, nutritional value or quality of the egg. The egg’s size and shell color is determined by the breed of the hen. <P> White eggs come from white chickens, while brown eggs come from chickens that are brown in colour. Most eggs sold in American supermarkets come from White Leghorn chickens, which are white in colour. However, it is possible to find brown eggs in the States, and to find white eggs in the UK. <P> The yellow color comes (primarily) from vitamin A in the eggs. The eggs are high in vitamin A when the chickens are fed a natural diet of seeds, vegitation and insects. Most of the eggs that you buy in the states are factory farmed and pale because the chickens are fed a special protein mix that has a lot of corn. | Due to special protein that is being fed to the chicken containing more amount of corn |

statutory intervention definition | <P> Permissive intervention is up to the discretion of the court. It arises when the intervenor's claim or defense and the instant suit have a Question of Law or fact in common. intervention. n. the procedure under which a third party may join an on-going law-suit, providing the facts and the law issues apply to the intervenor as much as to one of the existing contestants. The determination to allow intervention is made by a judge after a petition to intervene and a hearing on the issue. <P> In law, intervention is a procedure to allow a nonparty, called intervenor (also spelled intervener) to join ongoing litigation, either as a matter of right or at the discretion of the court, without the permission of the original litigants. In the United States federal courts, intervention is governed by Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 1 Rule 24(a) governs intervention of right. 2 Rule 24(b) provides for permissive intervention, which is subject to the discretion of the judge hearing the case. <P> LINK / CITE ADD TO WORD LIST. adjective. The definition of statutory is something mandated by or related to statutes, which are laws or bills passed by the legislature. An example of statutory law is the law found in the Clean Air Act, a federal statute. <P> Where the Minister or Secretary perceives that there is a risk to the operation of an individual school, or to the welfare or educational performance of its students, they may apply an intervention. The school’s board, or proprietors in an integrated school, may also request an intervention. View the relevant sections of the Education Act-Legislation website. The application of one intervention does not preclude the application of any other intervention, either simultaneously or at any other time. <P> A statutory intervention occurs when a department or agency has a legal obligation to become involved. This obligation can relate to interventions that may occur: 1 before court involvement. 2 during court involvement. 3 as a result of court involvement. An intervention is any involvement an agency or worker has with a client. It can be voluntary (where a client seeks or agrees to the intervention) or it can be involuntary or statutory, where a client does not request involvement but workers are legally required to intervene. <P> ‘Level of intervention’ refers to the type of statutory intervention. Look at the figure below relating to options for (or levels of) intervention. It is appropriate to use community support as the sole form of intervention when: 1 the client’s needs can be met through the use of the services of a community support agency. 2 support services are appropriate and available. 3 the client or significant others acknowledge their need for this support. An intervention is any involvement an agency or worker has with a client. It can be voluntary (where a client seeks or agrees to the intervention) or it can be involuntary or statutory, where a client does not request involvement but workers are legally required to intervene. <P> This paper considers four examples of statutory interventions into the common law concept of charity, namely, those of Pennsylvania, Barbados, the definition recommended by the Report of the Inquiry into the Definition of Charities in Australia, and the Recreational Charities legislation of the United Kingdom. Emerson, John (2002) Case studies of statutory interventions into the common law concept of charity. Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane.

An intervention is any involvement an agency or worker has with a client. It can be voluntary (where a client seeks or agrees to the intervention) or it can be involuntary or statutory, where a client does not request involvement but workers are legally required to intervene. <P> Statutory Interpretation Law & Legal Definition. Statutory interpretation is the act or process of interpreting and applying legislation. It is the principles developed by courts for interpreting statutes. This is also referred to as statutory construction. Sometimes the words of a statute have a plain and straightforward meaning. But in most cases, there is some ambiguity or vagueness in the words of the statute which needs to be resolved by the judge | intervention is any involvement an agency or worker has with a client.

how long can cooked food stay good in refrigerator | <P> Red meat and pork can remain in the refrigerator up to 5 days and can be frozen for 4-12 months. Leftover cooked meat will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator and 2-6 months in the freezer. Ground meats (beef, veal, pork, or poultry) can be refrigerated for 1-2 days and frozen for 3-4 months. Lunchmeats and hot dogs will last two weeks in the refrigerator unopened and should be eaten within 3-5 days of opening (hot dogs can go a couple of days longer). In the freezer they’ll last 1-2 months. Bacon is safe to eat for up to a week in the fridge—but raw sausage should be eaten within two days. <P> The USDA says to eat refrigerated leftovers within 4 days. Be aware that how long you leave something out before refrigeration and the size of the container can shorten the edible lifetime. The gist is the longer it's warm, the more [likely] pathogens will be able to multiply to unsafe levels. <P> After food is cooked, it should sit out at room temperature no more than two hours before being refrigerated to slow down bacteria growth. But once stored in the fridge, leftovers should be eaten up within three to four days because bacteria can still grow even at refrigerator temperatures. <P> Times are based on a refrigerator set at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. Shelf life also depends on the freshness of foods at the time of purchase. 1 Cheese, hard: six months. 2 Butter: 1 to 3 months. 3 Olives and pickles: one month. 4 Fresh eggs (in shell): 3 to 5 weeks. 5 Cheese, soft, unopened: 3 to 4 weeks. 6 Cheese, soft, opened: 1 to 2 weeks. 7 Bacon, cooked: one week. 8 Hard-boiled eggs | Three to four days. |

what are carrier pigeons used for | <P> Carrier Pigeons are pigeons that are used to carry a message from one place to another. Carrier pigeons were used by the U.S. military during World War I, World War II and the Korean War. Homing Pigeons are a slate blue color. Using pigeons to carry messages is generally called pigeon post.. Most homing or racing type varieties can be used to carry messages. There is no specific breed actually called carrier pigeon, so a carrier pigeon is any variety that is <P> Carrier pigeons were birds used to carry messages before the invention of modern communication devices, beginning as early as the 15th century. Some species of pigeons will instinctively fly back to their homes even if released far away, hence the name homing pigeons which are still used as racing pigeons.. carrier pigeons are trained to deliver messages, they are trained so they know how to get to their destination. it is me understanding that carrier pigeons were used in world … war 1 for delivering messages. <P> During the First and Second World Wars, carrier pigeons were used to transport messages back to their home coop behind the lines. When they landed, wires in the coop would sound a bell or buzzer and a soldier of the Signal Corps would know a message had arrived. Before the advent of radio, carrier pigeons were frequently used on the battlefield as a means for a mobile force to communicate with a stationary headquarters. In the 6th century BC, Cyrus, king of Persia, used carrier pigeons to communicate with various parts of his empire. <P> Their skills made them used to carry messages as carrier pigeon or messenger pigeons. They have been used in many places around the world. They are usually referred as pigeon post or war pigeon during wars. White homing pigeons are used in release dove ceremonies at weddings, funerals, and some sporting events. With training, pigeons can carry up to 75 g (2.5 oz) on their backs. The German apothecary Julius Neubronner used carrier pigeons to deliver urgent medication. <P> When used as carrier pigeons in pigeon post a message is written on thin light paper and rolled into a small tube attached to the bird's leg. Pigeons can only go back to one mentally marked point that they have identified as their home. White homing pigeons are used in release dove ceremonies at weddings, funerals, and some sporting events. With training, pigeons can carry up to 75 g (2.5 oz) on their backs. The German apothecary Julius Neubronner used carrier pigeons to deliver urgent medication. <P> In all, it is estimated that more than 100,000 carrier pigeons were used by both sides during the war. They are recorded as having a 95% success rate in navigating successfully to their intended destination. Carrier Pigeons Used During World War I. Feb 24, 2014 | World War I. Carrier Pigeons, used to carry communications during World War I, proved to be instrumental in the war. <P> Pigeons have long played an important role in war. Due to their homing ability, speed, and altitude, they were often used as military messengers. Carrier pigeons of the Racing Homer breed were used to carry messages in World War I and World War II, and 32 such pigeons were presented with the Dickin Medal. They ceased being used as of 1957. Before the advent of radio, carrier pigeons were frequently used on the battlefield as a means for a mobile force to communicate with a stationary headquarters. In the 6th century BC, Cyrus, king of Persia, used carrier pigeons to communicate with various parts of his empire. <P> Today, carrier pigeons are used regularly only in remote areas of countries such as India. In the industrialized world, their use is whimsical or idiosyncratic: a 1998 attempt to smuggle diamonds from a South African mine by pigeon, or an Internet connection achieved last May by carrier pigeons. <P> The homing pigeon is a variety of domestic pigeon (Columba livia domestica) derived from the rock pigeon, selectively bred to find its way home over extremely long distances. The wild rock pigeon has an innate homing ability, meaning that it will generally return to its nest and mate. White homing pigeons are used in release dove ceremonies at weddings, funerals, and some sporting events. With training, pigeons can carry up to 75 g (2.5 oz) on their backs. The German apothecary Julius Neubronner used carrier pigeons to deliver urgent medication. | Used to carry a message from one place to another. |
cost of spray insulation | <P> The average price to cover 200 square feet with a spray foam insulation kit will run between $300 and $600 (about two to three kits). Inside spray foam kits is something called Icynene, a foam made from two liquids that are heated and pushed through a gun on the can. Since spray foam takes up less space than other types of insulation -- fiberglass or blown-in insulation, for example -- you can change its thickness to meet the requirements of the application space. The average thickness of spray foam is three inches, but it can be made deeper if needed. <P> @ $2.60/sq. ft. This amounts to $6,240 for 3 spray on foam with an R value of approximately 20-21. 2X4 inch walls with 16 Bats has R of 11. Cost for insulation is $0.38/sq. ft for material plus installation, which you can do yourself. Cost for same area with bats is $912.00. It cost me right at 5k for the walls on a 2400 sq ft house. Walls were 9 ft and that included rim joists.This was poly foam at 3 inches thick.I also used one inch sheeting on the outside for a total of 4 inches of foam. We used blown in fiberglass in the attic 15 <P> 1 The cost of spray foam insulation is usually expressed per board foot, which is a measure of volume (not linear feet). 2 1 board foot is equal to 144 cubic inches, or a board that measures 1 foot long and 1 foot wide and 1 inch thick. 3 Open-cell spray foam costs $.40 to $.70 per board foot. Spray Foam Insulation Prices. While the function of spray foam insulation—to keep buildings warm during cold weather and cool during warm weather—is the same as traditional pink fiberglass insulation, that’s where the similarities between the two materials end. <P> 1 Open-cell spray foam costs $.40 to $.70 per board foot. 2 Closed-cell spray foam costs $.75 to $1 per board foot. 3 Expressed in terms of square feet, spray foam installation cost is $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot (for an average-sized home between 2,000 to 2,500 square feet, that’s a total cost of $3,000 to $7,500.

what is the definition of arctic | <P> Socially and politically, the Arctic region includes the northern territories of the eight Arctic states, although by natural science definitions, much of this territory is considered subarctic. The Arctic region is a unique area among Earth's ecosystems. For example, the cultures in the region and the Arctic indigenous peoples have adapted to its cold and extreme conditions. In recent years, the extent of the sea ice has declined. The Arctic's climate is characterized by cold winters and cool summers. Precipitation mostly comes in the form of snow. The Arctic's annual precipitation is low, with most of the area receiving less than 50 cm (20 in). <P> Polar Bond Definition: A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed. This causes the molecule to have a slight electrical dipole moment where one end is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative. <P> A person who ignores another person is an example of being in an Arctic mood. The definition of Arctic is a name for anything associated with the North Pole region. An example is the Arctic Ocean near the North Pole. An Arctic means a waterproof shoe that is worn over a regular shoe. Putting on a pair of galoshes over tennis shoes is an example of wearing Arctics. <P> The region surrounding the North Pole consists of a large ocean surrounded by land. This ocean, called the Arctic Ocean, is like no other ocean on Earth; and because of its special location and climate, the lands that surround it are unique. But other people use different definitions when talking about the Arctic. Some scientists define the Arctic as the area north of the arctic tree line (green line in map at right), where the landscape is frozen and dotted with shrubs and lichens. <P> Full Definition of POLAR. 1. a: of or relating to a geographic pole or the region around it b: coming from or having the characteristics of such a region. 2. : of or relating to one or more poles (as of a magnet). 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. <P> 1 Relating to the regions around the North Pole: an Arctic explorer. More example sentences. Synonyms. 1 Measurements from below the ice are only possible at the North Pole as the Arctic ice cap sits on the sea, unlike the Antarctic, which is a land mass. <P> What is the Arctic. The Arctic can be defined in various ways. 1 Geographically, the Arctic is the region where the sun remains above the horizon for at least one full day in summer and below the horizon for one full day in winter. 2 This is the region north of the Arctic Circle at 66°34’ latitude. <P> The Arctic consists of the Arctic Ocean and parts of Alaska (United States), Canada, Finland, Greenland (Denmark), Iceland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden. The Arctic region consists of a vast ocean with a seasonally varying ice cover, surrounded by treeless permafrost. The Arctic's climate is characterized by cold winters and cool summers. Precipitation mostly comes in the form of snow. The Arctic's annual precipitation is low, with most of the area receiving less than 50 cm (20 in). <P> Definition: The term Arctic is used to refer to the northernmost region of the Earth, including the area surrounding the North Pole. Countries which have part of their land in the Arctic zone include the United States, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. The opposite of Arctic is Antarctic, which refers to the southernmost region of the Earth, and the region around the South Pole (also an area with extreme cold). This is the realm of penquins, but not polar bears. <P> Adj. 1. Arctic-of or relating to the Arctic; the Arctic summer. north-polar. polar-of or existing at or near a geographical pole or within the Arctic or Antarctic Circles; polar regions. | The Arctic consists of the Arctic Ocean and parts of Alaska (United States), Canada, Finland, Greenland (Denmark), Iceland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden. |
what does insulin do | <P> What Insulin Does. Specifically, insulin allows the cells in the muscles, fat and liver to absorb glucose that is in the blood. The glucose serves as energy to these cells, or it can be converted into fat when needed. Insulin also affects other metabolic processes, such as the breakdown of fat or protein. <P> Your cells cannot use glucose without insulin, a hormone secreted from the beta cells in the pancreas. Insulin helps the cells take in glucose and convert it to energy. Insulin affects several organs and tissues to promote glycogen storage and laying down of fat. Glucose, some amino-acids, and to a much lesser extent fat all promote insulin release. In the liver, insulin increases glucose transport into the liver from the blood, and the synthesis of glycogen. In muscle the effects are similar and in fact the amount of glucose taken up by muscle is a significant contributor to the total glucose disposal rate (GDR). In adipocytes, insulin promotes synthesis of fat <P> insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. it is produced by the islets of langerham cells in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone central to regulating carbohydrate and f … at metabolism in the body. Insulin affects several organs and tissues to promote glycogen storage and laying down of fat. Glucose, some amino-acids, and to a much lesser extent fat all promote insulin release. In the liver, insulin increases glucose transport into the liver from the blood, and the synthesis of glycogen. In muscle the effects are similar and in fact the amount of glucose taken up by muscle is a significant contributor to the total glucose disposal rate (GDR). In adipocytes, insulin promotes synthesis of fat <P> Continue ReadingPatient Guide to Insulin: About Diabetes. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that allows your body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food that you eat for energy or to store glucose for future use. Insulin helps keeps your blood sugar level from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia). <P> Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps the body store and use glucose. Think of insulin as the U.S. Postal Service and glucose as the mail; insulin is responsible for delivering that glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, liver, and most other cells so that your body can use it for fuel. Insulin is a hormone produced and secreted by the pancreas or administered by injection, that is necessary for glucose (in the blood) to be transported into cells where it is converted into energy. The only tissues that do not require insulin to transport glucose into cells are the brain and heart <P> Insulin has several broad actions including: 1 It causes the cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from blood and convert it to glycogen that can be stored in the liver and muscles. 2 Insulin also prevents the utilization of fat as an energy source. 1 In absence of insulin or in conditions where insulin is low glucose is not taken up by body cells, and the body begins to use fat as an energy source. 2 Insulin also controls other body systems and regulates the amino acid uptake by body cells. 3 It has several other anabolic effects throughout the body as well. <P> Insulin (from the Latin, insula meaning island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells in the pancreas. It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood to skeletal muscles and fat tissue and by causing fat to be stored rather than used for energy. <P> A. Insulin stimulates the cells of the body to absorb sugar (glucose) out of the blood. It also inhibits the production of glucose by the liver. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not make insulin. In type 2 diabetes, the body is resistant to the insulin the body does make. All people with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin injections. | It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood to skeletal muscles and fat tissue and by causing fat to be stored rather than used for energy. |

common causes of endocrine diseases | <P> Glands of the endocrine system. Each gland of the endocrine system releases specific hormones into your bloodstream. These hormones travel through your blood to other cells and help control or coordinate many body processes. Endocrine glands include: 1 Adrenal glands. 2 Two glands that sit on top of the kidneys that release the hormone cortisol. 3 Hypothalamus. <P> Endocrine disorders arise because of problems with the glands of the endocrine system. Of the many potential endocrine disorders, some of the most common relate to problems with the pancreas or with the pituitary, thyroid, or adrenal glands. Types and causes of endocrine disorders include: Acromegaly, an overproduction of growth hormone, and prolactinoma, an overproduction of prolactin hormone, resulting from damage to the pituitary gland. <P> Causes and treatment of endocrine diseases. Diabetes, the most common disease of the endocrine system, can be linked to obesity, diet and family history, according to Dr. Alyson Myers of North Shore-LIJ Health System. To diagnose diabetes, we do an oral glucose tolerance test with fasting.. Stress, infection, and changes in the blood's fluid and electrolyte balance can also influence hormone levels, according to the National Institutes of Health. The most common endocrine disease in the United States is diabetes, a condition in which the body does not properly process glucose, a simple sugar. <P> Common Diseases of the Endocrine System. Your endocrine system includes eight major glands throughout your body. These glands make hormones, which are chemical messengers that travel through your bloodstream to tissues or organs. Hormones work slowly and affect body processes from head to toe. In the U.S., the most common endocrine disease is diabetes. There are many others. They are usually treated by controlling how much hormone your body makes. Hormone supplements can help if the problem is too little of a hormone. Some endocrine diseases are: 1 Growth and development. <P> Glands of the Endocrine System. Each gland of the endocrine system releases specific hormones into your bloodstream. These hormones travel through your blood to other cells and help control or coordinate many body processes. Endocrine glands include: 1 Adrenal glands: Two glands that sit on top of the kidneys that release the hormone cortisol. 2 Hypothalamus: A part of the lower middle brain that tells the pituitary gland when to release hormones. 3 Ovaries: The female reproductive organs that release eggs and produce sex hormones <P> The endocrine system influences how your heart beats, how your bones and tissues grow, even your ability to make a baby. It plays a vital role in whether or not you develop diabetes, thyroid disease, growth disorders, sexual dysfunction, and a host of other hormone-related disorders. These hormones travel through your blood to other cells and help control or coordinate many body processes. Endocrine glands include: 1 Adrenal glands: Two glands that sit on top of the kidneys that release the hormone cortisol. <P> Thyroid disorders are also very common. Thyroid disorders include hypothyroidism, in which the thyroid glands produce too little hormones, hyperthyroidism, in which the thyroid glands produce too much hormones, thyroid cancer, and thyroid nodules. <P> Increased or decreased levels of endocrine hormone may be caused by: 1 A problem with the endocrine feedback system. 2 Disease. 3 Failure of a gland to stimulate another gland to release hormones (for example, a problem with the hypothalamus can disrupt hormone production in the pituitary gland). Other endocrine disorders include: Adrenal insufficiency. The adrenal gland releases too little of the hormone cortisol and sometimes, aldosterone. Symptoms include fatigue, stomach upset, dehydration, and skin changes. <P> 1 Endocrine disease that results when a gland produces too much or too little of an endocrine hormone, called a hormone imbalance. 2 Endocrine disease due to the development of lesions (such as nodules or tumors) in the endocrine system, which may or may not affect hormone levels. These hormones travel through your blood to other cells and help control or coordinate many body processes. Endocrine glands include: 1 Adrenal glands: Two glands that sit on top of the kidneys that release the hormone cortisol. | Acromegaly, an overproduction of growth hormone, and prolactinoma, an overproduction of prolactin hormone, resulting from damage to the pituitary gland. |

Discuss how you have experienced OR witnessed both concepts in our American Society. Ethnocentrism is viewing your own culture as more superior than any other culture, that all other groups are measured in relation to one’s own. Ethnocentrism can lead to cultural misinterpretation and it often distorts communication between human beings. These ethnic distinctions and sub-divisions serve to define each ethnicity's unique cultural identity.[.

Ethnocentrism may be overt or subtle, and while it is considered a natural proclivity of human psychology, it has developed a generally negative connotation <P> Print Email Save. Ethnocentrism is the view that one’s ethnicity is better than the others. The other cultures are evaluated on the basis of one’s own beliefs relating to customs, behavior, language and religion. The concern with the superiority of one’s race and culture is overriding. <P> Xenocentrism The opposite of ethnocentrism is xenocentrism which means preferring ideas and things from other cultures over ideas and things from your own culture. At the heart of xenocentrism is an assumption that other cultures are superior to your own. Links to other Internet information on ethnocentrism. We are ethnocentric when we use our cultural norms to make generalizations about other peoples' cultures and customs.

viruses may either contain ________ or ________ as genetic material | <P> Viruses depend on the host cells that they infect to reproduce. When found outside of host cells, viruses exist as a protein coat or capsid, sometimes enclosed within a membrane. The capsid encloses either DNA or RNA which codes for the virus elements. While in this form outside the cell, the virus is metabollically inert; examples of such forms are pictured below. When it comes into contact with a host cell, a virus can insert its genetic material into its host, literally taking over the host's functions. An infected cell produces more viral protein and genetic material instead of its usual products. <P> Examples of viral illnesses range from the common cold, which can be caused by one of the rhinoviruses, to AIDS, which is caused by HIV. Viruses may contain either DNA or RNA as their genetic material. Herpes simplex virus and the hepatitis B virus are DNA viruses. <P> Some scientists speculate that viruses started as rogue segments of genetic code that adapted to a parasitic existence. All viruses contain nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA (but not both), and a protein coat, which encases the nucleic acid. Some viruses are also enclosed by an envelope of fat and protein molecules. <P> All viruses contain either RNA or DNA surrounded by a protective protein shell called a capsid. The genetic material in a virus may take one of four forms: a double strand of DNA, a single strand of DNA, a double strand of RNA, or a single strand of RNA. The size of the genetic material of viruses is often quite small. <P> Section 6.3 Viruses: Structure, Function, and Uses. A virus is a small parasite that cannot reproduce by itself. Once it infects a susceptible cell, however, a virus can direct the cell machinery to produce more viruses. Most viruses have either RNA or DNA as their genetic material. The nucleic acid may be single-or double-stranded. The T phages of E. coli are large lytic phages that contain a single molecule of double-stranded DNA. This molecule is about 2 × 10 5 base pairs long in T2, T4, and T6 viruses and about 4 × 10 4 base pairs long in T1, T3, T5, and T7 viruses. <P> Viruses are classified according to their type of genetic material, their strategy of replication, and their structure. The International Committee on Nomenclature of Viruses (ICNV), established in 1966, devised a scheme to group viruses into families, subfamilies, genera, and species. Viruses often damage or kill the cells that they infect, causing disease in infected organisms. A few viruses stimulate cells to grow uncontrollably and produce cancers. Although many infectious diseases, such as the common cold, are caused by viruses, there are no cures for these illnesses. <P> Viruses consist of genetic materialeither deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA)surrounded by a protective coating of protein, called a capsid, with or without an outer lipid envelope. Viruses are between 20 and 100 times smaller than bacteria and hence are too small to be seen by light microscopy. Viruses often damage or kill the cells that they infect, causing disease in infected organisms. A few viruses stimulate cells to grow uncontrollably and produce cancers. Although many infectious diseases, such as the common cold, are caused by viruses, there are no cures for these illnesses. <P> Photo by: Irochka. A virus is a small, infectious agent that is made up of a core of genetic material surrounded by a shell of protein. The genetic material (which is responsible for carrying forward hereditary traits from parent cells to offspring) may be either deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). The genetic material in a virus may take one of four forms: a double strand of DNA, a single strand of DNA, a double strand of RNA, or a single strand of RNA. The size of the genetic material of viruses is often quite small. <P> A DNA virus is a virus that has DNA as its genetic material and replicates using a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase. The nucleic acid is usually double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) but may also be single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). DNA viruses belong to either Group I or Group II of the Baltimore classification system for viruses. Single-stranded DNA is usually expanded to double-stranded in infected cells | RNA or DNA |

How much does fiber optic cable cost. As I try to self educate my self on the issues, I have heard figures cited that it takes about $100,000 a mile to deploy fiber optic cable in multi strands typical for telephone applications and information systems. But that may include two costs, the factory cost of the cable itself, and the cost of burying the cable that has all kinds of labor and right of way issues that increase the simple per mile cost of the cable itself. <P> The model compares the cost of a horizontal-UTP/vertical-fiber network to the cost of a centralized optical-fiber network. Fiber is used in the vertical riser for both network scenarios, as it is widely recognized as cost-effective in the backbone. In the horizontal, the UTP network model uses Category 5 cable.

where does the spleen sit in the human body located | <P> Spleen Location. Spleen is the biggest lymphoid organ present in the upper far left portion of the abdomen in the left hypochondrium and is surrounded by peritoneum. Spleen is 1 inch thick, 3 inches broad and 5 inches long. The enlargement of spleen is referred to as splenomegaly. <P> Front View of the Spleen. The spleen is an organ in the upper far left part of the abdomen, to the left of the stomach. The spleen varies in size and shape between people, but it’s commonly fist-shaped, purple, and about 4 inches long. Because the spleen is protected by the rib cage, you can’t easily feel it unless it’s abnormally enlarged. <P> Protected by our ribs, the spleen is located between the stomach and the diaphragm in the left hypochondriac region of the abdominal body cavity. <P> Spleen. The spleen is located in the upper left abdominal cavity, just beneath the diaphragm, and posterior to the stomach. It is similar to a lymph node in shape and structure but it is much larger. The spleen is the largest lymphatic organ in the body <P> The human spleen is an organ that creates lymphocytes for the destruction and recycling of old red-blood cells. The spleen is also a blood reservoir. It supplies the body with blood in emergencies such as a bad cut. The spleen is also the location where white blood cells trap organisms. The spleen is shaped like a loose fist and is tucked under the left side of the diaphragm. The average weight of an adult spleen is 0.44 lbs. <P> The spleen plays multiple supporting roles in the body. It acts as a filter for blood as part of the immune system. Old red blood cells are recycled in the spleen, and platelets and white blood cells are stored there. The spleen also helps fight certain kinds of bacteria that cause pneumonia and meningitis. The spleen is an organ in the upper far left part of the abdomen, to the left of the stomach. The spleen varies in size and shape between people, but it’s commonly fist-shaped, purple, and about 4 inches long. Because the spleen is protected by the rib cage, you can’t easily feel it unless it’s abnormally enlarged. <P> While everybody is familiar with organs like brain, lungs and liver, there do exist some organs which are relatively unknown to people. One such less-known organ of the human body system is spleen-a dark-red oval shaped organ located in the left half of the body. Spleen function in humans is mostly related to the production of red blood cells and proper functioning of the immune system. <P> Spleen Function, Location, Size and Disorders. Spleen is the largest lymphatic organ in the human body. Lymphatic or lymphoid organs are the major parts of the immune system of our body. Function of the immune system is to protect the host (i.e. human body) from the invasion of foreign organisms. Location of the spleen. Spleen weighs about 150 gm in adults and lies under the diaphragm in the left upper part of the abdomen at the level between 9th and 11th ribs. Anterior to the spleen lies stomach and medially lies the superior part of the left kidney. <P> The human spleen is an organ found in humans with important roles in regard to red blood cells and the immune system. It is located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. The spleen is part of your lymphatic system, which fights infection and keeps your body fluids in balance. It contains white blood cells that fight germs. The human spleen also helps control the amount of blood in human body, and destroys old and damaged cells. The spleen is encased in a thick connective-tissue capsule. <P> The spleen is located under the ribcage and above the stomach in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. Adult spleens are usually about 5 inches wide and weigh about 6 ounces. Spleens are soft and purple, possessing many blood vessels.

why was prohibition finally passed | <P> Prohibition occurred in the United States between the years of 1920 and 1933. Prohibition was a national ban on the manufacture, transport and sale of alcohol. The ban in the United State was backed up by a legal amendment to the U.S constitution, which was the 18th amendment made. The 18th amendment set out which intoxicating liquors were banned and how the ban was to be enforced. <P> The repeal of Prohibition in the United States was accomplished with the passage of the Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution on December 5, 1933. Some supporters of Prohibition, such as Rev. Charles Stelzle who wrote Why Prohibition! (1918), believed that prohibition would eventually lead to reductions in taxes, since drinking produced half the business for institutions supported by tax dollars such as courts, jails, hospitals, almshouses, and insane asylums. <P> Prohibition in the United States was a nationwide constitutional ban on the sale, production, importation, and transportation of alcoholic beverages that remained in place from 1920 to 1933. Prohibition had a notable effect on the alcohol brewing industry in the United States. Wine historians note that Prohibition destroyed what was a fledgling wine <P> In 1933, the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was passed and ratified, ending national Prohibition. After the repeal of the 18th Amendment, some states continued Prohibition by maintaining statewide temperance laws. The 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is ratified, repealing the 18th Amendment and bringing an end to the era of national prohibition of alcohol in America. At 5:32 p.m. EST, Utah became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, achieving the requisite three-fourths majority of states’ approval. <P> In early 1933, Congress adopted a resolution proposing a 21st Amendment to the Constitution that would repeal the 18th. It was ratified by the end of that year, bringing the Prohibition era to a close. FDR’s victory meant the end for Prohibition, and in February 1933 Congress adopted a resolution proposing a 21st Amendment to the Constitution that would repeal the 18th. The amendment was submitted to the states, and in December 1933 Utah provided the 36th and final necessary vote for ratification. <P> Now, why did this prohibition repealed and was not passed into law? The major reason was due to the businessmen behind these giant liquor companies who are giving a lot of monetary support to these congressmen and other lawmakers during election campaign. The end goal basically of this great abolition is to finally eradicate the many social problems such as poverty, crimes, murder, and many others. The prohibition after it was passed in congress gathered a lot of supporters most especially those congressmen who are really concerned with the welfare of people in society. <P> Prohibition was mandated under the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Enabling legislation, known as the Volstead Act, set down the rules for enforcing the ban and defined the types of alcoholic beverages that were prohibited. Prohibition had a notable effect on the alcohol brewing industry in the United States. Wine historians note that Prohibition destroyed what was a fledgling wine <P> “No temperance in it…”: Woodrow Wilson & Prohibition Because Prohibition began in Wilson’s administration it is often assumed that he supported it. In fact, Wilson vetoed the infamous Volstead Act which enforced Prohibition and he opposed a federal law enforcing what he thought was a personal moral issue. The Anti-Saloon league, through its allies in Congress, introduced the Prohibition Amendment in 1917. It was submitted to the House of Representatives on April 4, 1917. The Senate received the resolution on July 30, 1917 and passed it August 1 by a vote of 65 to 20. <P> Why Was Prohibition Repealed? Prohibition in particular the United States of America generated a lot of support on the one hand and a lot of rejections on the other hand. The core of this so-called prohibition was to amend or to put into law the abolishment of alcoholic beverages. The end goal basically of this great abolition is to finally eradicate the many social problems such as poverty, crimes, murder, and many others. The prohibition after it was passed in congress gathered a lot of supporters most especially those congressmen who are really concerned with the welfare of people in society. <P> The League, and other organizations that supported prohibition such as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, soon began to succeed in enacting local prohibition laws. Eventually the prohibition campaign was a national effort. Prohibition in the United States was a measure designed to reduce drinking by eliminating the businesses that manufactured, distributed, and sold alcoholic beverages. | Because congress gathered a lot of supporters most especially those congressmen who are really concerned with the welfare of people in society. |
when is ovulation in a long cycle | <P> The day of ovulation differs from woman to woman and can even be different from month to month for an individual woman. For a woman with a 28 day cycle, the window of ovulation is day 11 through day 21 of your cycle. Ovulation could occur on any one day during this window. <P> It also prepares your body for pregnancy each month. A cycle is counted from the first day of 1 period to the first day of the next period. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days long. Cycles can range anywhere from 21 to 35 days in adults and from 21 to 45 days in young teens. The rise and fall of levels of hormones during the month control the menstrual cycle. <P> Tracking Ovulation: A woman’s monthly cycle is measured from the first day of her menstrual period until the first day of her next period. On average, a woman’s cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have much shorter or much longer cycles. Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 – Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP. <P> The second half of the cycle is called the luteal phase and is from the day of ovulation until the next period begins. The luteal phase has a more precise timeline and usually is only 12-16 days from the day of ovulation. This ultimately means that the day of ovulation will determine how long your cycle is. Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 – Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP. <P> Ovulation calculator. Our ovulation calculator will tell you when you’re most likely to be fertile over the next six months. To increase your chances of getting pregnant, just tell us the first day of your last period and how long your cycle usually lasts (between 20 and 45 days). <P> The average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days. But normal cycles can vary from 21 to 35 days. The amount of time before ovulation occurs is different in every woman and even can be different from month to month in the same woman, varying from 13 to 20 days long. <P> The first step is to learn the days when you’re most fertile. A woman with a 28-day menstrual cycle, for example, has about 6 days each month when she can conceive – the day one of her ovaries releases an egg, called ovulation, and the 5 days before. Timing sex within that window is key. To figure it out, start charting your menstrual cycle and recording how long it lasts. Day 1 is the first day of your period. Since the length of your cycle can vary slightly from month to month, it’s best to keep track for a few months. <P> For most women, the length of time between ovulation (when an egg is released from the ovary) and their monthly period is between 12 to 16 days (this is called the luteal phase). The first day of your menstrual cycle is the first day of your period (day 1). The period usually then lasts anything from 3 to 7 days. You’ll probably find that if you get any period pains, they’ll be at their worst in the first few days of your period. <P> Menstrual Cycles. The average menstrual cycle is 28 to 32 days. Some women have longer or shorter cycles, so the exact timing of ovulation can vary. Here's an overview of a typical 28-day menstrual cycle | Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 – Day 21 of their cycle. |

what was congress system | <P> To this end, the Congress powers agreed to meet whenever trouble should crop up in Europe to discuss how to fix it. The first meeting of the Congress System was in 1818, at the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle. This meeting dealt with the coalition of European armies that had been occupying France since Napoleon's defeat.

The Birth of the “Congress System”: The Quadruple Alliance of November 1815. The real trigger for the Congress System, as I point out in my book, Napoleon’s was brief return during the Hundred Days, an event that palpably demonstrated the continuing fragility of the international system. George Canning, the new British Foreign Secretary, generally opposed the Congress System, but his appointment took place so close to the opening of the Congress of Verona that he reluctantly permitted Wellington to proceed there. | After independence and before 1967, the Congress was in a dominant position and this period normally referred as a “Congress Dominated System” or “Congress System”. |

what age can you separate rabbits from mother | <P> A: Baby rabbits need to stay with their mother until they are about 8 weeks old. Baby rabbits start nibbling on hay and pellets at about 2 weeks old. However, just because they start eating on their own does not mean they can be taken away from their mother. They need to continue to feed from their mother until they are about 8 weeks old. Baby rabbits separated from their mother before this time often end up dying. Sexing Rabbits.

The breeder may charge for this service, if they are willing to do it. The breeder may also ask to keep one or more of the babies as stock.. As soon as the babies are weaned, at eight weeks, the mother rabbit should be spayed. Often times people are concerned that the mother rabbit is not feeding the babies, sometimes because she is never seen with them. This is normal behavior for a domestic (or wild) rabbit and that mother rabbits do not lay with their offspring in the same manner as dogs and cats. <P> Seperating Baby rabbits. by: Anonymous. Tulsi You should separate your two rabbits, at the very latest, before 5 months, since from that age they will be able to breed.

what contains in a cigarette | <P> It is an additive in cigarettes, cigars, little cigars, smokeless tobacco products, and tobacco rolling paper. Brands marketed as menthol cigarettes have enough menthol added to describe them as having a menthol flavor. However, brands not labeled as menthol may contain low levels of it as well. A cigarette is any roll of tobacco wrapped in paper or in any substance not containing tobacco. It is the most widely used tobacco product in the United States. Tobacco smoke contains a deadly mix of more than 7,000 chemicals. <P> Cigarettes and other forms of tobacco—including cigars, pipe tobacco, snuff, and chewing tobacco—contain the addictive drug nicotine. Nicotine is readily absorbed into the bloodstream when a tobacco product is chewed, inhaled, or smoked. <P> Cigarette Ingredients. Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing (carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other toxins. These cigarette ingredients include nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT. Nicotine is highly addictive. As a cigarette is smoked, the amount of tar inhaled into the lungs increases, and the last puff contains more than twice as much tar as the first puff. Carbon monoxide makes it harder for red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. <P> Answer by JayveeRouge. Confidence votes 1.4K. Cigarette contain an oily liquid substance called Nicotine, found in a tobacco leaves (which is the main content of a cigarette) that acts as a stimulant and also contributes to smoking addiction. <P> Cigarettes, including low-tar brands, contain dozens of cancer-causing chemicals. A cigarette may look harmless enough-tobacco l … eaves covered in classic white paper. But when it burns, it releases a dangerous cocktail of about 4,000 chemicals including: more than 70 cancer-causing chemicals hundreds of other poisons. <P> Nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive substance, and almost all e-cigarettes contain nicotine. Even some products that claim to be nicotine-free still may contain the drug. For instance, initial FDA lab tests conducted in 2009 found that cartridges labeled as nicotine-free had traceable levels of nicotine. The main component of e-cigarettes is the e-liquid contained in cartridges. To create an e-liquid, nicotine is extracted from tobacco and mixed with a base (usually propylene glycol), and may also include flavorings, colorings and other chemicals. <P> A cigarette is a small cylinder of finely cut tobacco leaves rolled in thin paper for smoking. The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder; its smoke is inhaled from the other end, which is held in or to the mouth; in some cases, a cigarette holder may be used, as well. Some countries require cigarette packs to contain warnings about health hazards. The United States was the first, later followed by other countries including Canada, most of Europe, Australia, India, Hong Kong, and Singapore. In 1985, Iceland became the first country to enforce graphic warnings on cigarette packaging. <P> Electronic cigarettes (also called e-cigarettes or electronic nicotine delivery systems) are battery-operated devices designed to deliver nicotine with flavorings and other chemicals to users in vapor instead of smoke. Although they do not produce tobacco smoke, e-cigarettes still contain nicotine and other potentially harmful chemicals. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug, and recent research suggests nicotine exposure may also prime the brain to become addicted to other substances. <P> Cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products vary widely in their content of nicotine, cancer-causing substances, and other toxicants. In a cigarette (which contains 0.49 to 0.89 gram of tobacco), the nicotine content can vary between 13.79 and 22.68 milligrams per gram of dry tobacco (12, 13). | Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing (carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other toxins.

what distinguishes bacteria from archaea | <P> Archaea are particularly numerous in the oceans, and the archaea in plankton may be one of the most abundant groups of organisms on the planet. Archaea are a major part of Earth's life and may play roles in both the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle. Although Archaea are prokaryotic, they are more closely related to Eukarya and thus cannot be placed within either the Bacteria or Eukarya domains. One property unique to Archaea is the abundant use of ether-linked lipids in their cell membranes. <P> These microbes are prokaryotes, meaning that they have no cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles in their cells. Archaea were initially classified as bacteria, receiving the name archaebacteria (in the Archaebacteria kingdom), but this classification is outdated. Although Archaea are prokaryotic, they are more closely related to Eukarya and thus cannot be placed within either the Bacteria or Eukarya domains. One property unique to Archaea is the abundant use of ether-linked lipids in their cell membranes. <P> Best Answer: Bacteria: -no nucleus-no membrane bound organelles-no mitochondria or chloroplasts Eukarya: -true nucleus-membrane bound organelles-have either mitochondrias or chloroplast Archaea: Closer to Eukarya than Prokarya-live in EXTREME conditions. Source(s): · 6 years ago. Thumbs up. <P> Archaea and bacteria are both single-celled microorganisms known as prokaryotes but this is one of the few things they have in common. Even though they both look vaguely similar when viewed through a microscope, each represents a completely different group of creatures. Archaea and bacteria differ in the environments in which they can survive. While bacteria live almost everywhere, only archaea are capable of surviving in harsh extremes, although they are also found elsewhere. Some archaea, known as thermophiles, live in very hot environments such as volcano vents. <P> Archaea and bacteria have different cell membranes and cell structures, and archaea are found in extreme environments where most bacteria could not survive. Bacteria cell walls contain a substance known as peptidoglycan, while the cell walls of archaea do not. Archaea and bacteria also differ because the cell membranes of archaea have a unique structure and do not contain the same lipids, or fats, that are found in the cell membranes of other organisms. Archaea and bacteria differ in the environments in which they can survive. While bacteria live almost everywhere, only archaea are capable of surviving in harsh extremes, although they are also found elsewhere. Some archaea, known as thermophiles, live in very hot environments such as volcano vents. <P> 2. Organisms can be classified into one of three domains based on differences in the sequences of nucleotides in the cell's ribosomal RNAs (rRNA), the cell's membrane lipid structure, and its sensitivity to antibiotics. 3. The three domains are the Archaea, the Bacteria, and the Eukarya. 4. Prokaryotic organisms belong either to the domain Archaea or the domain Bacteria; organisms with eukaryotic cells belong to the domain Eukarya. <P> Introduction (from Wikipedia). The Archaea constitute a domain or kingdom of single-celled microorganisms. These microbes are prokaryotes, meaning that they have no cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles in their cells. Bacteria constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. In the past, archaea were classified as bacteria and were called archaebacteria. But it was discovered that archaea have a distinct evolutionary history and biochemistry compared with bacteria. The similarities are that archaea and eubacteria are single-celled organisms that do not have a nucleus or organelles. <P> Here is more information on the differences between these two microorganisms. Both bacteria and archaea have different Ribosomal RNAs (rRNA). Archea have three RNA polymerases like eukaryotes, but bacteria have only one. Archaea have cell walls that lack peptidoglycan and have membranes that enclose lipids with hydrocarbons rather than fatty acids (not a bilayer). | Archaea and bacteria have different cell membranes and cell structures, and archaea are found in extreme environments where most bacteria could not survive. |

Prof Jason Castro, of Bates College, and Prof Chakra Chennubhotla, of the University of Pittsburgh, used a computerised technique to whittle down smells to their most basic essence. <P> I want to do this because bad breath is pretty misunderstood by people. Just like general body odor, bad breath can come from a myriad of different places and have countless causes. But people tend to think of bad breath differently -- they think it's all in the mouth, and that some gum will solve the problem. <P> Humans can distinguish more than 10,000 different smells (odorants), which are detected by specialized olfactory receptor neurons lining the nose.... It is thought that there are hundreds of different olfactory receptors, each encoded by a different gene and each recognizing different odorants. Smell is a very direct sense. In order for you to smell something, molecules from that thing have to make it to your nose. Everything you smell, therefore, is giving off molecules -- whether it is bread in the bakery, onions, perfume, a piece of fruit or whatever. <P> An odor or odour or fragrance is caused by one or more volatilized chemical compounds, generally at a very low concentration, that humans or other animals perceive by the sense of olfaction. Common odors that people are used to, such as their own body odor, are less noticeable to individuals than external or uncommon odors. This is due to habituation; after continuous odor exposure, the sense of smell fatigues quickly, but recovers rapidly after the stimulus is removed. <P> It's an open question how many fundamental types of odor qualities there are, study researcher Jason Castro of Bates College said in a statement. This is in striking contrast to olfaction's 'sister sense,' taste, where we know that five basic qualities seem to organize sensations, Castro said. Castro and his colleagues took a standard database known as Andew Dravniek's 1985 Atlas of Odor Character Profiles. The profiles contained long lists of descriptors — such as sweet, floral or heavy — which people had rated in terms of applicability to 144 different odors. <P> The thousands of aromas humans can smell can be sorted into 10 basic categories, US scientists say.

what to eat with diverticulitis flare up | <P> Intestinal obstructions can result from a number of different factors: Strictures or scar tissue that has built up to the point where the intestine is extremely narrowed, or a spasming length of intestine, or a volvulus (twist/kink in the intestine), or a diverticulitis flare-up. For the best treatment and management of diverticular or obstructive GI disease, your diet should vary according to your symptoms. During good/calm times, it’s best to eat a diet that promotes easy digestion and absorption and tonifies the intestinal wall. <P> Foods to Avoid With Diverticulitis. In the past, doctors had recommended that people with diverticular disease (diverticulosis or diverticulitis) avoid hard-to-digest foods such as nuts, corn, popcorn, and seeds, for fear that these foods would get stuck in the diverticula and lead to inflammation. Many studies show that eating fiber-rich foods can help control diverticular symptoms. Try to eat at least 25-35 grams of fiber a day. Here are a few fiber-rich foods to include in meals: 1 Whole-grain breads, pastas, and cereals. 2 Beans (kidney beans and black beans, for example). <P> Diverticulosis occurs when little pockets, which are known as diverticula, form along the colon wall. When these pockets get inflamed or infected, the condition is called diverticulitis. A flare-up of diverticulitis can include a variety of symptoms and, if severe enough, may require hospitalization. One symptom of a flare-up of diverticulitis is abdominal pain. The patient may feel sudden pain in the lower left part of the abdomen, according to MayoClinic.com. In some cases, the pain may start out as a mild one and then gradually increase over several days. Another symptom of a diverticulitis flare-up includes nausea and vomiting, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Severe nausea and vomiting with abdominal distension may suggest a more significant complication of diverticulitis, such as a bowel obstruction. <P> Fortunately, sufferers can find relief by eating the right foods. A low-residue diet, aka low-fiber diet, is usually recommended during the flare-up periods of diverticulitis to decrease bowel volume so that the infection can heal. An intake of less than 10 grams of fiber per day is generally considered a low-residue diverticulitis diet. Diverticulitis Diet. You may be asked to start with a clear fluid diet at the onset of diverticulitis. After a few days, you may incorporate the following low fiber foods (less than 10 g per serving) that are mild enough to be eaten during a diverticulitis flare-up. <P> Posts: 151.

But during a flare-up (diverticulitis), it's best to consume a liquid diet to provide a form of bowel rest and flushing of the colon, to prevent a blockage or obstruction from occurring. It is also easiest to heal infection or inflammation whilst on a liquid (but highly nutritious) diet <P> Abdominal Pain. One symptom of a flare-up of diverticulitis is abdominal pain.

Severe nausea and vomiting with abdominal distension may suggest a more significant complication of diverticulitis, such as a bowel obstruction. <P> Foods containing nuts, seeds and tough skins can irritate the intestinal tract and may cause a flare up of diverticulitis. Avoid foods such as nuts, sesame seeds, corn, popcorn and most raw fruits and vegetable skins and membranes. Baked potatoes are acceptable if the skin is removed. Overview. Diverticulitis occurs as a result of diverticula in the digestive tract becoming infected and inflamed or as a result of a small tear in a diverticulum. The goal of a diverticulitis diet is to allow bowel rest to promote healing. <P> But during a flare-up (diverticulitis or acute stricture), it’s best to consume a liquid, pre-digested diet to provide a form of bowel rest and flushing of the colon, to help prevent a blockage or obstruction from occurring. For the best treatment and management of diverticular or obstructive GI disease, your diet should vary according to your symptoms.

what does the law say about cctv warning signs | <P> Back to Video Surveillance Signs. In recent years, the use of video surveillance in the private sector has become an increasingly valuable security measure. In fact, studies have shown that employing a closed-circuit television system is the most effective method of ensuring that criminals are correctly convicted. The majority of video surveillance laws concern the invasion of privacy with the use of covert video surveillance. The use of covert video surveillance is particularly controversial in areas in which a high level of personal privacy is expected, such as: locker rooms, dressing rooms, bedrooms, and bathroom stalls. <P> CCTV used on your property will be exempt from the Data Protection Act unless you are capturing footage of individuals outside your property. However, regardless of whether your CCTV system is exempt, the ICO recommends that you use CCTV in a responsible way to protect the privacy of others. Most uses of CCTV will be covered by the Data Protection Act. This gives you the right to see information held about you, including CCTV images of you, or images which give away information about you (such as your car number plate). <P> Video surveillance, however, is rarely required by law. One that does come to mind is ATM facilities in New York City, which I believe must have CCTV coverage. But property owners are not required to install and supervise CCTV. More often than not CCTV is installed by property owners as a measure to reduce property damage or to record the damage for possible police investigation after the fact. Some property complexes do have CCTV with on-site guard monitoring and certainly the presence of CCTV does raise the question of liability. A landlord of a residential property has a duty to provide reasonable security when the property is known to be in a high crime area and that tenants are likely to be at risk. Also, there are laws that affect the landlord's duty to provide some level of protection, such as front door locks and intercom systems. <P> CCTV SIGNS MUST BE CORRECT. CCTV signs that you use MUST be individually made to suit YOUR OWN CCTV system to be legal. It is no good buying off the shelf signs that just tell people that they are being recorded or suchlike. See Data Protection Act-Legal Requirements. Legal CCTV signs are easily obtainable from compliant CCTV Sign makers, such as the one given below.

what temperature should a freezer be kept at | <P> 1 If you do lose power, keep the doors to your fridge and freezer closed as much as possible to keep foods cold. 2 Before using any foods, check your refrigerator and freezer thermometers. 3 If the fridge is still at or below 40 °F, or the food has been above 40 °F for only two hours or less, it should be safe to eat. <P> In order to keep food out of the Danger Zone, your fridge must be set between 32-40° F (0-4 degrees Celsius). Your freezer must be below 32° F (0° Celsius). I keep mine as cold as it will go. Keep your freezer efficient by half-filling it with bottles of water. <P> Normally a domestic freezer is best set to −18 °C (0 °F) or colder, as that's what the expiration dates for many food items are based on. It's also a requirement for freezers in restaurants, supermarkets & other places that sell food (at least here in Europe) to maintain a temperature of at most -18 °C. <P> However, most recommend that a freezer's temperature should be maintained cold enough to keep ice cream frozen brick-solid. Ice cream … freezes at about 5°F (-15°C). Therefore, it is recommended that a freezer's temperature be maintained at 0°F (-17°C). <P> The FDA advises that you should keep the temperature of your fridge between 32 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit, preferably right in the middle of that range, at, say, 35 degrees. Set the temperature at 35, and you avoid the risk of frozen food (that’s what the freezer’s for!) and you avoid the risk of spoilage. <P> The ideal freezer temperature is 0 Fahrenheit (-18 Celsius) for storing food. And -10 Fahrenheit (-23 Celsius) is recommended when freezing food. The faster food freezes the smaller the ice crystals. The smaller the ice crystals the smaller the change in texture and better quality when thawed. <P> 1 Also, when putting food away, don't crowd the refrigerator or freezer so tightly that air can't circulate. 2 Keep your appliances at the proper temperatures. 3 Keep the refrigerator temperature at or below 40° F (4° C). 4 The freezer temperature should be 0° F (-18° C). 5 Check temperatures periodically. <P> 1 Keep the refrigerator temperature at or below 40° F (4° C). 2 The freezer temperature should be 0° F (-18° C). 3 Check temperatures periodically. 4 Appliance thermometers are the best way of knowing these temperatures and are generally inexpensive. | 0° F (-18° C) |

what is sunstone | <P> Sunstone is a gem-quality member of the feldspar group of minerals. It is famed for its aventurescence, often referred to as 'schiller'. Sunstone may also be traded as 'aventurine feldspar', but nowadays, the term ' aventurine ' is primarily used only in reference to the green quartz known as 'aventurine'. Although sunstone deposits can be found in various locations around the world, there is no single source from which it is commercially mined. Some of the more significant, notable deposits come from India, Canada, Madagascar, Norway, Russia and the USA (Oregon, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Utah). <P> The value of gem-quality sunstone is determined by its color, transparency, and the quality of aventurescence. Colorless and yellow stones are usually the least expensive and values increase through pink, orange and red. Bright red stones, green stones and nice bicolor stones have the highest values. The inclusions in sunstone can be so small that they are not visible to the unaided eye, or they can be large enough to be clearly visible. The inclusions are extremely thin. Even though they might be large enough to be clearly seen face-on, they are usually too thin to be visible when viewed from the side. <P> Sunstone is an interesting feldspar gemstone with a glittery appearance and usually an orange or reddish color, hence its name. The glitter effect is caused by inclusions of the mineral Hematite, or sometimes also Goethite or Pyrite (and in one rare instance, Copper). Sunstone is very similar in habit to Aventurine, a form of Quartz that exhibits the same glittering Aventurescence effect. Sunstone is occasionally called 'Aventurine Feldspar' to distinguish it from its Quartz counterpart. <P> Sunstone occurs in a range of colors that begins with colorless and ranges through yellow, orange and red. The color is determined, in part, by the abundance and size of the copper platelets within the stone. The inclusions in sunstone can be so small that they are not visible to the unaided eye, or they can be large enough to be clearly visible. The inclusions are extremely thin. Even though they might be large enough to be clearly seen face-on, they are usually too thin to be visible when viewed from the side. <P> Sunstone is a plagioclase feldspar, which when viewed from certain directions exhibits a brilliant spangled appearance; this led to its use by the Vikings to locate the Sun for navigational purposes. It has been found in Southern Norway, Sweden and in various United States localities. I. The optical effect appears to be due to reflections from inclusions of red copper, in the form of minute scales, which are hexagonal, rhombic, or irregular in shape, and are disposed parallel to the principal cleavage-plane. <P> Sunstone is a member of the Feldspar family, and is named for its warm shades of gold, orange, reds and browns that sparkle like the sun. Inclusions of Goethite or Hematite refract light between the different crystal layers and produce an iridescent effect as the stone is viewed from various angles. Sunstone which is gold in color is the natural birthstone of those born in the magical month of midsummer (July 22 - August 21). Gold crystals bring you success, enthusiasm, happiness, and power. Sunstone which is orange in color is the true birthstone of those born at the end of summer (August 22 - September 22). <P> The name sunstone is used for specimens of translucent to transparent feldspar that produce bright metallic flashes when light interacts with tiny plate-like mineral inclusions within the stone. The inclusions in sunstone can be so small that they are not visible to the unaided eye, or they can be large enough to be clearly visible. The inclusions are extremely thin. Even though they might be large enough to be clearly seen face-on, they are usually too thin to be visible when viewed from the side. <P> -Oregon sunstone, also known as heliolite, is a transparent feldspar with colors ranging from water clear through pale yellow, soft pink, and blood red to (extremely rare) deep blue and green. For decades, however, the term sunstone has been used for these Oregon gem feldspars both with and without schiller. Oregon sunstones are a calcium-rich variety of plagioclase feldspar named labradorite, a common mineral in basaltic lava flows. <P> Sunstone. Learn about the metaphysical properties and crystal meanings of Sunstone such as abundance. Sunstone Pendant Example.

what does a bidet do | <P> Bidets are personal hygienic devices. As such, bidets which have been installed and/or used cannot be returned. However-some bidets come with a 30 Day Trial and of course those seats can be returned for any reason, used or not. You can learn more about our 30 Day Trial here. Yes, you will need to plug the bidet seat to a nearby electrical outlet. Like most power cords in the U.S., the power cord of your bidet seat has two flat pins, with one round pin at the bottom. The bidet toilet seat is compatible with any standard 120V outlet. <P> A bidet may also be a nozzle attached to an existing toilet, or a part of the toilet itself. In this case, its use is restricted to cleaning the anus and genitals. In northern Europe (with the exception of Finland), bidets are rare. They are also common in the Middle East, in countries such as Armenia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Turkey, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Jordan. <P> A bidet is not a strangely named and plumbed toilet! If you have a bidet, you still use the toilet for all the conventional purposes! No, a bowel movement probably would not go down the drain of a bidet, not without quite a bit of unpleasant assistance by the operator or some poor person who came along later. A bidet is a specialized device to be used only for cleaning your genitals and anal region! Sorry to be all blunt and clinical, but this is rather important. For the sake of all employees at traditional European hotels, do not use the bidet inappropriately! <P> Activate a toilet seat bidet. Look for the “Wash” button on the bidet’s remote control, which is usually mounted on the wall next to the toilet. You may also find the button on the toilet itself. A nozzle will appear beneath you and rinse your nether regions with a stream of water. In this latter case, you'll need to use your hands to manually clean yourself. 3. Clean your rear and/or your genitals. If you're using a bidet with a jet, then you can mostly let the force of the water do its work. If you're using a basin, then you'll need to get your hands dirty. Either way, you might consider using your wet hands to scrub the area clean more quickly <P> 2. Find the bidet. Sometimes, the bidet is located near the toilet, attached to the wall: it looks something like a low sink or a toilet with a faucet. However, many modern bidets are built into the toilet seat, so you don't need to get up to straddle another fixture. In this latter case, you'll need to use your hands to manually clean yourself. 3.

normal levels of salinity in estuaries | <P> The salinity of estuarine water varies from estuary to estuary, and can change from one day to the next depending on the tides, weather, or other factors (Levinton, 1995.). Estuaries are transitional areas that straddle the land and the sea, as well as freshwater and saltwater habitats. <P> An estuary is a partially enclosed body of water, and its surrounding coastal habitats, where saltwater from the ocean mixes with fresh water from rivers or streams. In fresh water the concentration of salts, or salinity, is nearly zero. The salinity of water in the ocean averages about 35 parts per thousand (ppt). The mixture of seawater and fresh water in estuaries is called brackish water and its salinity can range from 0.5 to 35 ppt. <P> Salinity. temperature | depth | salinity | dissolved oxygen | turbidity | pH | nutrients | chlorophyll.
