what role do introns and exons play in protein synthesis
|
<P> Exons and introns are part of the mRNA. During transcription inside the nucleus, introns are removed from the mRNA because they are not coded to make a protein. Exons are then … joined together because that is the part required for translation. Before the RNA leaves the nucleus, the introns are removed and the exons are joined together, producing an mRNA molecule with a continuous coding sequence. This process is cal … led RNA splicing. <P> A chemical found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells; it plays an important role in protein synthesis. The structure of RNA is similar to that of DNA. There are several types of RNA molecules, but the messenger RNA, transfer RNA, and ribosomal RNA are vital for protein synthesis. The role of tRNA in protein synthesis is to bond with amino acids and transfer them to the ribosomes, where proteins are assembled according to the genetic code carried by mRNA. translation. The process in which the genetic code carried by mRNA is translated into a sequence of amino acid <P> Splicing. Eukaryotic genes are often interrupted by sequences that do not appear in the final RNA. The intervening sequences that are removed are called introns. The process by which introns are removed is referred to as splicing. The sequences remaining after the splicing are called exons. All of the different major types of RNA in a eukaryotic cell can have introns. <P> – The base sequences of the transcribed RNA complement the base sequences of the template DNA. –In prokaryotes, RNA synthesis and protein synthesis take place in the cytoplasm. – In eukaryotes, RNA is produced in the cell’s nucleus and then moves to the cytoplasm to play a role in the production of proteins. <P> Such stretches of DNA, which get transcribed into RNA but not translated into protein, are called introns. Those stretches of DNA that do code for amino acids in the protein are called exons. Examples: 1 The gene for one type of collagen found in chickens is split into 52 separate exons. 1 Step-by-step removal of introns present in the pre-mRNA and splicing of the remaining exons. 2 This step takes place as the pre-mRNA continues to emerge from Pol II. 3 Synthesis of the poly(A) tail. 4 This is a stretch of adenine (A) nucleotides. <P> Transcrition/translation-Exons and introns. Description: In most eukaryotic genes, coding regions (exons) are interrupted by noncoding regions (introns). During transcription, the entire gene is copied into a pre-mRNA, which includes exons and introns. During the process of RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons joined to form a contiguous coding sequence. This mature mRNA is ready for translation. <P> Always happy to ask and answer questions. Exons are the coding regions which bear codons, each codon representing one amino acid. Thus exons are directly responsible for the amino acid sequence of the proteins. Introns are intervening sequences and bear no coding regions and cannot influence the protein sequence. Before the RNA leaves the nucleus, the introns are removed and the exons are joined together, producing an mRNA molecule with a continuous coding sequence. This process is cal … led RNA splicing. <P> 1 transcription of the information encoded in DNA into a molecule of RNA (described here) and. 2 translation of the information encoded in the nucleotides of mRNA into a defined sequence of amino acids in a protein (discussed in. 3 Gene Translation: RNA → Protein). 1 Step-by-step removal of introns present in the pre-mRNA and splicing of the remaining exons. 2 This step takes place as the pre-mRNA continues to emerge from Pol II. 3 Synthesis of the poly(A) tail. 4 This is a stretch of adenine (A) nucleotides.

what is mosaic down syndrome
|
<P> Down syndrome (DS or DNS) or Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. It is typically associated with physical growth delays, characteristic facial features, and mild to moderate intellectual disability. <P> Mosaicism is a term used to describe a condition where people have different kinds of cells in the body. Mosaic Down syndrome can thus be understood as a condition where people have some cells with the Trisomy 21 arrangement, and some cells that only posses two #21 chromosomes. Mosaic Down Syndrome remains a rare variant of Trisomy 21, and it’s usually tested for in a blood sample. Doctors look for evidence of any cells with the normal arrangement to show whether this condition is present. Number of normal cells is expressed in a percentage value based on the Trisomy cells <P> Mosaic Down syndrome: This type affects about 2% of the people with Down syndrome. Mosaic means mixture or combination. For children with mosaic Down syndrome, some of their cells have 3 copies of chromosome 21, but other cells have the typical two copies of chromosome 21. Children with mosaic Down syndrome may have the same features as other children with Down syndrome. <P> A: Children with mosaic Down syndrome have two distinct cell groupings. In some cells there is a total of 46 chromosomes, which is the “typical” group. In other cells there is an extra copy of the chromosome #21, making 47 cells total for this group. When a person has more than one type of chromosomal makeup, that is called mosaicism, like the mosaic style of art in which a picture is made up of different colors of tiles. In Down syndrome, mosaicism means that some cells of the body have trisomy 21, and some have the typical number of chromosomes. <P> Non-mosaic Down Syndrome occurs when you have an extra copy of chromosome 21 in every cell of your body. At least 98 percent of people with Down Syndrome have this form (which includes either trisomy or translocation type chromosomal abnormalities). When this occurs, there is a mixture of two types of cells. Mosaic Down Syndrome occurs in only 1-2 percent of people with Down Syndrome, and there is a wide range in the level of severity of the impairment. <P> 1 Mosaic Down syndrome. 2 In this rare form of Down syndrome, children have some cells with an extra copy of chromosome 21. 3 This mosaic of normal and abnormal cells is caused by abnormal cell division after fertilization. 4 Translocation Down syndrome. <P> Mosaicism, used to describe the presence of more than one type of cell in a person, is usually described as a percentage. For example, when a baby is born with Down syndrome, the doctor will take a blood sample to perform a chromosome study. Typically, 20 different cells are analyzed. If five of the 20 are normal (46 chromosomes), while the other 15 have an extra #21 chromosome (47 chromosomes), the baby would be said to have mosaic Down syndrome. Since the percentage of cells with an extra chromosome is 15 out of 20, the baby would be said to have a level of mosaicism at 75 percent <P> Mosaic Down Syndrome occurs when you have some cells with the normal two copies of chromosome 21 and some cells with an extra copy of chromosome 21.

how long do you steam hard boiled eggs
|
<P> Put eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Turn off heat, cover pot, and set a timer for 10 minutes. Done! Heidi says. That is how Rachael Ray does it. But I could never the time you boil for and set for. 1 Bring water to a boil then turn down the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on how “hard” you want them.). 2 Allow the eggs to cool enough to be able to handle and then peel them. <P> Rinse your eggs in warm water (you can use eggs you just collected that morning, if you want) and place them in the top of the steamer. Steam for 20 minutes and then plunge the eggs into a bowl of ice water until they are cool enough to peel. :) I used to boil my eggs for 5+ minutes to get hard boiled eggs, but recently learned of this method which is I bring the water to a boil, put a cover on, turn off the heat and let them sit for 15 minutes, then into the ice cold water. It's not really steaming and not really boiling either, but somewhere in the middle. <P> This method works best if the eggs are in a single layer, but you can double them up as well, you'll just need to add more time to the steaming time. 3 Set your timer for 6 minutes for soft boiled, 10 minutes for hard boiled with a still translucent and bright yolk, or 12-15 minutes for cooked-through hard boiled. A steamer basket is convenient, but not necessary. 1 If you are using a steamer basket, fill a saucepan with as much water as needed to reach the bottom of the steamer basket (about 1 inch or so). If you are not using a steamer basket, just fill the bottom of a saucepan with 1/2 inch of water. 2 Heat the water on high heat until it is boiling and producing steam. Turn off the heat and gently place the eggs at the bottom of the steamer basket or the bottom of the pan <P> Directions. 1. If serving eggs cold, add 1 tray of ice cubes to a large bowl and fill with water. Fill a large pot with 1 inch of water. Place steamer insert inside, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add eggs to steamer basket, cover, and continue cooking 6 minutes for soft boiled or 12 minute for hard. Serve immediately if serving hot. <P> I learned this tip from a foodie friends of mine. She heard about steaming eggs rather than boiling them to make them easier to peel. I experimented with steaming them also and will never go back to boiling eggs. Just steam the eggs in a vegetable steamer set over boiling water for 10 minutes. I cooled and peeled mine right away, my friend took hers off the heat and let them set for an additional 10 minutes before peeling. Both ways worked a treat. <P> Depending on how cooked you like your hard boiled eggs, the eggs should be done perfectly in 10-12 minutes. That said, depending on your altitude, the shape of the pan, the size of the eggs, the ratio of water to eggs, it can take a few minutes more. Older eggs are easier to peel than fresh eggs. If you are planning to make hard boiled eggs for Easter and want to make sure that the eggs are easy to peel, buy your eggs at least a week ahead of time (two weeks even better, they'll keep). If you need easy-to-peel eggs and you have fresh eggs, you might want to try steaming the eggs for 15 minutes. Pour an inch of water into a pot and insert a steamer basket.Bring to a boil. Place the eggs in the steamer basket, cover and steam for 15 minutes (more or less, check!) <P> 1 (You want enough water in the pan so that you can boil for 15 to 20 minutes.). 2 Add eggs to basket and cover the pan with a lid. 3 Bring water to a boil then turn down the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on how “hard” you want them.). 4 Allow the eggs to cool enough to be able to handle and then peel them. 1 Bring water to a boil then turn down the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on how “hard” you want them.). 2 <P> up vote 0 down vote. Bring the water to a boil first then cover and reduce the heat to med-high, not low then set timer for 10 to 15 minutes depending on size of eggs and how done you want the center. I like them slightly soft and do extra large eggs at 11 minutes. Another source implies 7 minutes. http://whatscookingwithkids.com/2011/05/27/forget-hard-boiling-eggs-steamed-eggs-are-easy-to-peel/ (In the comments.). And then there is the usual time for hard-boiling, which is 10 minutes.

fluorspar price per ton
|
<P> There seems to be a relationship between the two events – price changes and amounts mined. Fluorspar’s price per ton increased 287% from 1996 to 2012, using average fluorspar acid prices for the year provided by the USGS in their reports (from $141 per ton in 1996 to $545 per ton in the first quarter 2012). This is an average annual increase of 22%. And, the fluorspar mine production went from 4,090,000 metric tons in 1996 to 6,850,000 metric tons in 2012, a 5% per year increase. USGS estimates 240,000,000 metric tons fluorspar in mining company’s reserves ( <P> 60 FLUORSPAR (Data in thousand metric tons unless otherwise noted) Domestic Production and Use: There was little or no domestic mining of fluorspar in 2006.

Fluorite is 48.7 percent fluorine and 51.3 percent calcium. Its industrial value is due mostly to the fluorine content, and it is the chief source of that element. Fluorspar production from Africa through 1976 totals about 3.5 million metric tons. Approximately 88 percent of this total was produced since 1960, and 80 percent originated in South Africa. In 1976, about 83 percent of African fluorspar production was exported. <P> Attending representatives expected the market price of fluorite ore will be over RMB 3,000 per ton in May ...

when and why was the one child policy introduced
|
<P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: China's one child policy is often misunderstood in western countries, so I am glad that your question provides an opportunity to explain what it is and how it works. The one child policy was instituted 30 years ago as a humanitarian response to China's over-population problem. Too many people versus limited resources is the core issue. Like every other country, China only has so much land, water, food, and natural resource <P> History of the One-Child Policy. China’s One-Child Policy was formally instituted 30 years ago on September 25, 1980, in an open letter by the Chinese Communist Party. Up until that date, the government had campaigned locally and nationally for voluntary birth control and discouraged excess reproduction. The Chinese government boasts that the One-Child Policy has prevented over 400 million births, and announced in March 2013 that over the last four decades, they have aborted 336 million children, performed 196 million surgical sterilizations, and inserted 403 million IUD's (intrauterine devices). <P> Case study: China. Cyclists in Beijing, China. In the late 1970s, the Chinese government introduced a number of measures to reduce the country's birth rate and slow the population growth rate. The most important of the new measures was a one-child policy, which decreed that couples in China could only have one child. 1 In 1950 the rate of population change in China was 1.9 per cent each year. 2 Previous Chinese governments had encouraged people to have a lot of children to increase the country's workforce. <P> 10 people found this useful. China's One Child Policy China's one child policy was created by Deng Xiaoping in 1979 because of the large population; 300 million people were born over 20 years. The popula … tion would have been a lot bigger if female babies were wanted. <P> When Deng Xiaoping and his fellow economic reformers introduced the one-child policy as a “temporary” measure in 1979, after Mao’s death and the end of the calamitous Cultural Revolution, they claimed that without the one-child policy, the economy would falter and the population would explode. (Though the one-child policy was introduced in 1979, other, less-stringent family planning policies were in place before it.). These figures are easy to quote, but they fail to convey the magnitude of the horror faced by rural Chinese women. <P> History. The one-child policy was introduced in 1979 by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping to curb China’s rapidly growing population. At the time it was approximately 970 million. When introduced, the policy mandated that Han Chinese, the ethnic majority, could only have one child. Thirty-five years later, the government-mandated policy is still in place, although its rules have recently been relaxed to now allow more couples fitting certain criteria to have a second child <P> China's one child policy was established by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979 to limit communist China's population growth. Although designated a temporary measure, it continues a quarter-century after its establishment. The policy limits couples to one child. <P> The term one-child is inexact as the policy allows many exceptions and ethnic minorities in China are exempt. In 2007, 36% of China's population was subject to a strict one-child restriction. <P> China's one-child family policy has had a great effect on the lives of nearly a quarter of the world's population for a quarter of a century. When the policy was introduced in 1979, the Chinese government claimed that it was a short-term measure and that the goal was to move toward a voluntary small-family culture. Population Growth. When the one-child policy was introduced, the government set a target population of 1.2 billion by the year 2000. The census of 2000 put the population at 1.27 billion, 12 although some demographers regard this number as an underestimate.

what is the best way to cut backer board
|
<P> Mark Donovan of http://www.HomeAdditionPlus.com shows how to easily and cleanly cut cement backer board. Cutting cement backerboard for different types of holes is easy to do with the right tools. Use a scoring knife, a jigsaw, and drill bit to cut cement backerboard. Just make sure you wear eye protection when cutting cement backerboard or drilling cement backer board. <P> Holding the board up prevents the edge from sitting in any water. Cutting backer board, especially if it’s a gypsum-core backer board, is done with a simple razor knife. The surface is scored with the razor, and you then snap the board creating a clean line. The razor is then used to cut the fiberglass backing. It’s the same procedure used to cut regular drywall. If you’re installing your backer board in a shower or tub, don’t allow the board to come into contact with the concrete shower pan or the tub ledge. I prefer to hold up the backer board one-quarter inch off tub ledges and one-half inch off a concrete substrate in a poured shower. <P> Best Answer: You can score it. You must score it deep with a cement board scoring tool (available where you bought the board), move it to a straight edge and snap it. You will probably have to cut the embedded fiberglass mesh with a utility knife, no big deal. The power saw is extremely dusty <P> A 3 x 5–foot sheet of 1/4-inch backer board costs between $9 and $11; the same-size sheet in 1/2 inch costs about $12 to $14. The one challenge DIYers face when working with cement backer board is how to cut the rock-hard panels. Fortunately, there are a few different options. Here's how to use the scoring tool: Lay the backer board on a flat surface and mark the cut line with a carpenter's pencil. (A regular pencil will become too dull from drawing lines on such a hard surface.) Set a straightedge, such as a 4-foot level or perfectly straight board, on the cut line. <P> You can also cut backer board with an angle grinder fitted with a diamond-impregnated cutting wheel, but this tool produces a lot of dust and is harder to control than a circular saw, so use caution. And although I've never tried it myself, you can cut backer board using a wet saw, which is designed for cutting tile. Here's how to use the scoring tool: Lay the backer board on a flat surface and mark the cut line with a carpenter's pencil. (A regular pencil will become too dull from drawing lines on such a hard surface.) Set a straightedge, such as a 4-foot level or perfectly straight board, on the cut line. <P> Score-and-Snap. The simplest way to cut cement backer board is to score the surface and snap the sheet along the scored line, similar to the way you'd cut drywall. In fact, you can use a drywall utility knife to score backer board, but a better option is a carbide-tipped scoring tool. Here's how to use the scoring tool: Lay the backer board on a flat surface and mark the cut line with a carpenter's pencil. (A regular pencil will become too dull from drawing lines on such a hard surface.) Set a straightedge, such as a 4-foot level or perfectly straight board, on the cut line. <P> To make curved cuts or circular cutouts in backer board, you have a couple of options. You could drill a series of holes along the cut line and then tap out the waste with a hammer. While that technique works, it creates quite a mess and leaves a ragged edge. Straight cuts in cement backer board can be made using a circular saw. I just remodeled one of our bathrooms, which included tiling the floor with 12”x 12” Turkish tumbled marble. <P> cutting hardi board. I guess that depends a lot on your definition of best. You're SUPPOSED to be able to cut cement board much like drywall; you just score through the fiberglass mesh on one side, snap along the score line and then cut through the mesh on the other side. Generally, a carbide-tipped knife, is the best method for manual cutting of the boards. However: I still prefer to use a skill saw with carbide tipped blade, that gets tossed when done with the installation. I also use a carbide-dusted jig saw blade (tile cutting blade) for off-angle, or circular cuts. <P> One of the easiest techniques used to cut cement backer board is to score the sheet and then snap it along the cut line. Lay your cement board flat, and draw a line with a carpenter’s pencil where you intend to cut. <P> Cement backer board can be cut with a carbide-tipped scoring tool, just score and snap the sheet, similar to cutting drywall. But since I had several cuts to make, I decided to use power tools. Straight cuts in cement backer board can be made using a circular saw. I just remodeled one of our bathrooms, which included tiling the floor with 12”x 12” Turkish tumbled marble.

when did probation start
|
<P> The Power to Suspend Sentences. Although many states had passed probation laws, beginning with Massachusetts in 1878, probation was not established at the federal level until much later. For many years the federal courts had used a form of probation through suspending sentences. <P> The National Probation Service for England and Wales is a statutory Criminal Justice Service, mainly responsible for the supervision of offenders in the community and the provision of reports to the criminal courts to assist them in their sentencing duties. From this developed the system of releasing offenders on the condition that they kept in touch with the missionary and accepted guidance. In 1907 this supervision was given a statutory basis which allowed courts to appoint and employ probation officers. The Service, at the start of 2004, had some 18,000 staff. <P> 1 Re-Entry Resource Directory-A resource for offenders under supervision, probation officers, and judges of local and state resources that may be used to assist offenders with employment and educational opportunities, as well as other resources and services that may benefit offenders. Florida Felony Probation Information. 1 <P> An offender on probation is ordered to follow certain conditions set forth by the court, often under the supervision of a probation officer. During this testing period, an offender faces the threat of being sent back to prison, if found breaking the rules. By 1951, all the states in the United States of America had a working probation system and ratified the Interstate Compact Agreement. In 1959, the new states of Alaska and Hawaii, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the territories of the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa ratified the act as well. <P> Answer: Prohibition officially began in the United States on January 16, 1920, a full year after the ratification of the 18th amendment. The 18th amendment prohibited the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol. Interestingly enough, it did not prohibit the consumption of alcohol. <P> The United States Probation Office. The first probation law in the United States was enacted by the Massachusetts legislature on April 26, 1878, but it was not until March 4, 1925, when the first statute providing for federal probation officers was signed by President Coolidge. The experience requirements were at least one year in paid probation work or at least three years in paid systematic and organized social work with an established agency. The age requirement was 21 through 54 and retirement was age 70. Enactment of the 1925 law did not bring probation officers into immediate existence. First, competitive examinations had to be held, which were not announced until August of 1926.

how to cook a boiled egg
|
<P> Shutterstock. As soon as the water comes to a boil turn the heat off, cover the pan, and remove it from the heat. Allow the eggs to sit in the water until they are cooked; about 9 minutes for a medium egg, 12 minutes for a large egg, and 15 minutes for an extra-large egg. <P> Soft: Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, then add your eggs and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel. Medium: Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, then add your eggs and cook 7 to 8 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel. <P> Place your eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat and set aside 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel. How to Make Deviled Eggs: Transfer hard-boiled eggs to a bowl of ice water with a slotted spoon and let cool. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, then add your eggs and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel. Medium: Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, then add your eggs and cook 7 to 8 <P> Once cooked, plunge the hard-boiled egg into plenty of cold water for one minute. Drain and cover with more cold water. This will prevent the egg from over-cooking in its residual heat. Cracking the shell with the back of a spoon during cooling will also make the egg easier to peel. Always start with eggs that are at room temperature to best predict the cooking time and minimise cracking. For a soft-boiled egg, lower the egg into gently boiling water with a slotted spoon. Allow three and a half minutes for a medium-sized egg and four minutes for a large egg. The yolk will be runny and the white just set. Cook for a further minute if you like your soft boiled eggs a little firmer. For a hard-boiled egg, start the egg in cold water and bring up to the boil. Once the water is gently boiling, set the timer for between 7-10 minutes depending on how well cooked you like your eggs. The longer you boil the egg, the firmer it will be <P> 1 Put the eggs in a pan of cold water: Place 6 cold eggs in a saucepan and fill with cold water, covering the eggs by an inch. 2 Bring the water to a rolling boil: Set the pan over high heat and bring the water to a boil, uncovered. 3 The water should come to a full, rolling boil. 4 Turn off the heat and cover the pan. Instructions. 1 Put the eggs in a pan of cold water: Place 6 cold eggs in a saucepan and fill with cold water, covering the eggs by an inch. 2 Bring the water to a rolling boil: Set the pan over high heat and bring the water to a boil, uncovered. 3 The water should come to a full, rolling boil. <P> If you are planning to make hard boiled eggs for Easter and want to make sure that the eggs are easy to peel, buy your eggs at least a week ahead of time (two weeks even better, they'll keep). If you need easy-to-peel eggs and you have fresh eggs, you might want to try steaming the eggs for 15 minutes. Pour an inch of water into a pot and insert a steamer basket.Bring to a boil. Place the eggs in the steamer basket, cover and steam for 15 minutes (more or less, check!). Heat the pot on high heat and bring the water to a full rolling boil. Adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the water may help keep egg whites from running out if an egg does crack while cooking. Also some people find adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water helps prevent cracking as well as making the eggs easier to peel. <P> Soft-cooked (boiled) eggs: A soft-cooked egg has a firm white and runny yolk. To serve in egg cup, place egg in cup small end down, slice off large end of egg with knife or egg scissors and eat from shell with spoon. You can also buy a good egg topper from a kitchen store. Medium-cooked (boiled) eggs: A medium-cooked egg has a firm white and a slightly firm yolk. On the outside, medium-boiled eggs look exactly like hard-boiled egg-the whites are tender, yet cooked and hold their shape. Once you open the egg, you see creamy golden yolks which are neither liquid nor completely solid. <P> Directions. Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking. Eggs can be peeled and served immediately.

what is a current in physics
|
<P> This means that the coulomb is defined as the amount of charge that passes through a surface when a current of one ampere ampère flows for one. [Second = C]. As When i visualize, Current i see things. Moving i see them moving in a. Direction i see a. Vector i see the wrong. thing This means that the coulomb is defined as the amount of charge that passes through a surface when a current of one ampere ampère flows for one. [Second = C]. As When i visualize, Current i see things. Moving i see them moving in a. direction <P> Current is a scalar quantity (though in circuit analysis, the direction of current is relevant). The SI unit of electrical current is the ampere, defined as 1 coulomb/second. Definition: Electrical current is a measure of the amount of electrical charge transferred per unit time. It represents the flow of electrons through a conductive material. <P> A current of 1 ampere means that there is 1 coulomb of charge passing through a cross section of a wire every 1 second. To test your understanding, determine the current for the following two situations. Note that some extraneous information is given in each situation. (The current is 12 C / 3 s or 4 Amperes at point A. Since current is everywhere the same, it is also 4 Amperes at point E. So the ratio of Q to t is 4 C / s.). f. False. The current is everywhere the same within an electric circuit. <P> In physics, power is the rate of doing work. It is equivalent to an amount of energy consumed per unit time. In the SI system, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the steam engine. <P> Electric current is defined as the rate at which charge flows through a surface (the cross section of a wire, for example). Despite referring to many different things, the word current is often used by itself instead of the longer, more formal electric current. This means that the coulomb is defined as the amount of charge that passes through a surface when a current of one ampere ampère flows for one. [Second = C]. As When i visualize, Current i see things. Moving i see them moving in a. direction <P> The influence of charges is characterized in terms of the forces between them (Coulomb's law) and the electric field and voltage produced by them. One Coulomb of charge is the charge which would flow through a 120 watt lightbulb (120 volts AC) in one second. Two charges of one Coulomb each separated by a meter would repel each other with a force of about a million tons! The rate of flow of electric charge is called electric current and is measured in Amperes. In most DC electric circuits, it can be assumed that the resistance to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is related to voltage and resistance by Ohm's law. The standard abbreviations for the units are 1 A = 1C/s. <P> See Answer Answer: D Current is the rate at which charge flows. Charge will not flow in a circuit unless there is an energy source capable of creating an electric potential difference and unless there is a closed conducting loop through which the charge can move. Answer: D. Current is the rate at which charge flows. Charge will not flow in a circuit unless there is an energy source capable of creating an electric potential difference and unless there is a closed conducting loop through which the charge can move. 2. (The current is 12 C / 3 s or 4 Amperes at point A. Since current is everywhere the same, it is also 4 Amperes at point E. So the ratio of Q to t is 4 C / s.). f. False. The current is everywhere the same within an electric circuit. <P> Science Physics for Kids. Current is the flow of an electric charge. It is an important quantity in electronic circuits. Current flows through a circuit when a voltage is placed across two points of a conductor. 1 The flowing of electric current through a wire can sometimes be thought of like the flowing of water through a pipe. 2 The electrical conductivity of a material is the measurement of the ability of the material to allow for the flow of electrical current.

where does magnesium chloride come from
|
<P> Ancient Minerals magnesium flakes are dry flakes of magnesium chloride hexahydrate and other trace minerals, in a convenient and economical form for utilization in baths and foot soaks. Ancient Minerals magnesium flakes are approximately 47% magnesium chloride by weight.Where Do Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes Come From?Ancient Minerals magnesium flakes are extracted from the Ancient Zechstein Seabed in Europe, 1600 to 2000 meters deep in the interior of the Earth. <P> Some magnesium chloride is made from solar evaporation of seawater. Anhydrous magnesium chloride is the principal precursor to magnesium metal, which is produced on a large scale. Hydrated magnesium chloride is the form most readily available. <P> (Redirected from MgCl2). Magnesium chloride is the name for the chemical compounds with the formulas MgCl 2 and its various hydrates MgCl 2 (H 2 O) x. These salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water. The hydrated magnesium chloride can be extracted from brine or sea water. <P> A very exciting addition to the magnesium family is a product loosely referred to as magnesium oil. It’s not actually an oil at all, but a super saturated solution of magnesium chloride. Magnesium oil can be sprayed or rubbed on the body, and is readily absorbed through the skin. <P> Magnesium chloride is the name for the chemical compounds with the formulas MgCl 2 and its various hydrates MgCl 2 (H 2 O) x. These salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water. The hydrated magnesium chloride can be extracted from brine or sea water. <P> Magnesium Chloride is recognized by many medical professionals as the “Master Magnesium Compound” for both dietary and topical uses, due to its high potency and efficient action. Magnesium is undeniably therapeutic to the human body, yet much is left unsaid about the type and quality of various forms of magnesium. <P> Most magnesium comes from seawater which is composed of 0.13 percent of the element in the form of magnesium chloride. It can also be found in natural minerals such as dolomite and magnesite in the form of magnesium oxide.

what type of treatment would be given for galactosemia
|
<P> There are different types of galactosemia: classic galactosemia (also known as type I, is the most common and most severe form of the condition), galactosemia type II (also called galactokinase deficiency), and type III (also called galactose epimerase deficiency). Galactosemia, which means “galactose in the blood”, is a rare inherited condition. People with galactosemia have problems digesting a type of sugar called galactose from the food they eat. <P> It is primarily part of a larger sugar called lactose, which is found in all dairy products and many baby formulas. The signs and symptoms of galactosemia result from an inability to use galactose to produce energy. Researchers have identified several types of galactosemia. These conditions are each caused by mutations in a particular gene and affect different enzymes involved in breaking down galactose. Classic galactosemia, also known as type I, is the most common and most severe form of the condition. If infants with classic galactosemia are not treated promptly with a low-galactose diet, life-threatening complications appear within a few days after birth <P> Galactosemia is a treatable inherited disease that reduces the body's ability to metabolize galactose, a simple sugar found in milk. The classic form of galactosemia can be fatal without prompt treatment and careful management. Duarte galactosemia is a much milder form of the disease in which a person has 25 to 50% of the normal amount of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase. People with Duarte galactosemia generally do not suffer any of the symptoms of classic galactosemia. <P> A galactosemia test is a blood test (from the heel of the infant) or urine test that checks for three enzymes that are needed to change galactose sugar that is found in milk and milk products into glucose, a sugar that the human body uses for energy. A person with galactosemia doesn't have one of these enzymes. Galactosemia follows an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance that confers a deficiency in an enzyme responsible for adequate galactose degradation. <P> Classic galactosemia, the most severe form of the disease, is caused by a deficiency in an enzyme called galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase. People with classic galactosemia have less than 5% of the normal activity in this enzyme. Duarte galactosemia is a much milder form of the disease in which a person has 25 to 50% of the normal amount of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase. People with Duarte galactosemia generally do not suffer any of the symptoms of classic galactosemia. <P> Galactose is found in lactose. Lactose is the sugar found in many kinds of foods and in all dairy products. Normally when you eat something that has lactose, your body breaks lactose down into galactose and glucose. <P> Galactosemia is an inherited defect of galactose metabolism caused by an enzyme deficiency that prevents proper metabolism and utilization of galactose, or milk sugar. The main dietary source of galactose is lactose, the principle carbohydrate found in all forms of milk. <P> Galactose makes up half of lactose, the sugar found in milk. The other sugar is glucose. If an infant with galactosemia is given milk, substances made from galactose build up in the infant's system. These substances damage the liver, brain, kidneys, and eyes. Persons with galactosemia cannot tolerate any form of milk (human or animal). They must be careful about eating other foods containing galactose. <P> Galactosemia (British galactosaemia) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that affects an individual's ability to metabolize the sugar galactose properly. Galactosemia follows an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance that confers a deficiency in an enzyme responsible for adequate galactose degradation. <P> 1 It is charcaterised by the deficiency of Galactose-1 phosphate uridyl transferase, an enzyme that is responsible for converting Galactose consumed by an individual to Glucose. 2 Galactosemia Type II – It is also known as Galactokinase Deficiency and is rarer than the classic forms. Picture 1 – Galactosemia. 1 Classic Galactosemia – It is the commonest and the most acute form of the disease. 2 Galactosemia Type II – It is also known as Galactokinase Deficiency and is rarer than the classic forms. 3 Galactosemia Type III – It is referred to as Galactose Epimerase Deficiency and is very rare.

what type of music was in the baroque period
|
<P> The term Baroque is generally used by music historians to describe a broad range of styles from a wide geographic region, mostly in Europe, composed over a period of approximately 150 years. The negative use of the word comes from a description by Charles de Brosses of the ornate and heavily ornamented architecture of the Pamphili Palace in Rome. Although the term was applied to architecture and art criticism in the 19th century, it wasn't until the 20th century that the term baroque was applied to music. <P> Baroque music forms a major portion of the classical music canon, being widely studied, performed, and listened to. The negative use of the word comes from a description by Charles de Brosses of the ornate and heavily ornamented architecture of the Pamphili Palace in Rome. Although the term was applied to architecture and art criticism in the 19th century, it wasn't until the 20th century that the term baroque was applied to music. <P> The Baroque (US /bəˈroʊk/ or UK /bəˈrɒk/) is often thought of as a period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance, theater, and music. The term Baroque is also used to designate the style of music composed during a period that overlaps with that of Baroque art, but usually encompasses a slightly later period. <P> During the Baroque period, composers experimented with musical contrasts that differed greatly from the music of the Renaissance. They used what is known as a melodic soprano line supported by a bass line. Music became homophonic, meaning it was based on one melody with harmonic support coming from a keyboard player. From the toccata emerged what is known as prelude and fugue, an instrumental music beginning with a short free style piece (prelude) followed by a contrapuntal piece using imitative counterpoint (fugue). Other music forms of the Baroque period are the chorale prelude, Mass and oratorio, <P> Baroque music belongs to its own period, the Baroque period (1600-1760). It was followed by the Classical period (1750-1830). … Baroque music and Classical music differ in terms of music theory, instrumentation, and key people. The Baroque music era was the era of some of the world's greatest composers, including Handel, Bach, Purcell, Monteverdi, Cavalli and Rameau. It was written to uplift and glor … ify the soul, qualities which later became superseded by the Romantic style of music. <P> 2. Counterpoint in the Baroque Period: Definition, Harmony & Examples The use of counterpoint is a significant characteristic of Baroque period music. In this lesson, learn how to define counterpoint, how it was used during the Baroque period, and hear popular examples. 3. A fugue is a complex style of composition that was developed during the Baroque period. In this lesson, learn how fugues are made, what characteristic qualities make up the style, and how J.S. Bach influenced the style, and listen to examples. <P> Baroque was before the Classical period from the 1600s-1700s. Some composers include Bach, Telemann, Pachelbel, Purcell, Vivaldi, and Handel. Many woodwinds and strings, imagi … ne dancing in a castle, that would be baroque music. The harpsichord was a very popular instrument at the time. The Baroque music era was the era of some of the world's greatest composers, including Handel, Bach, Purcell, Monteverdi, Cavalli and Rameau. It was written to uplift and glor … ify the soul, qualities which later became superseded by the Romantic style of music. <P> Baroque music expanded the size, range, and complexity of instrumental performance, and also established opera, cantata, oratorio, concerto, and sonata as musical genres. Many musical terms and concepts from this era are still in use today. The negative use of the word comes from a description by Charles de Brosses of the ornate and heavily ornamented architecture of the Pamphili Palace in Rome. Although the term was applied to architecture and art criticism in the 19th century, it wasn't until the 20th century that the term baroque was applied to music. <P> The Baroque period in music is often described as ornate and intense. Music from this period often features emotions expressed through repeating melodies and quick changes in volume, pace and other aspects. 3. A fugue is a complex style of composition that was developed during the Baroque period. In this lesson, learn how fugues are made, what characteristic qualities make up the style, and how J.S. Bach influenced the style, and listen to examples.

where did the last earthquake happen
|
<P> The last North Texas earthquake to get a lot of attention was recorded on July 28, 2012 when a magnitude 2.2 quake was felt in Johnson County. The epicenter of that earthquake was between Cleburne and Burleson. Published at 11:29 PM CDT on Sep 29, 2012. <P> In Japan, for example, in the early 1990s, many seismologists suggested that the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923 (a magnitude-8.2 quake that killed more than 140,000 people in Tokyo and Yokohama) would repeat itself sometime in the mid-1990s to the early-2000s based on a 70- to 80-year cycle. <P> It was the third earthquake to be felt in southwestern Indiana in the last two years. The first was a magnitude 3.9 on December 7, 2000, centered near Evansville, and the second was a magnitude 5.0 on June 18, 2002, also centered near Evansville. <P> Two days prior to the massive temblor, a magnitude-7.2 earthquake with three aftershocks greater than magnitude 6.0 hit offshore eastern Honshu. These quakes caused little damage even though the main rupture was only 8 kilometers deep. <P> The horrific earthquake that struck Nepal Saturday did not come as a surprise to experts. They knew it was coming. In fact, just last week a group of earthquake specialists gathered in Kathmandu to try to figure out how the country could prepare for the major earthquake they feared was imminent. <P> The earthquake giving rise to the tsunami occurred at 6,000 feet below sea level 80 miles from northern Japan and 240 miles from Tokyo. Seismic waves (sound traveling through … the solid crust of the earth below the ocean floor) move at around 14,000 KM/hr or about 8,300 miles/hr. <P> The Wasatch Range, with its outstanding ski areas, runs North-South through Utah, and like all mountain ranges, was produced by a series of earthquakes. The 386 km (240-mile) long Wasatch Fault is made up of several segments, each capable of producing up to a M7.5 earthquake. <P> An earthquake is the shaking of the ground cause by seismic waves. Almost all earthquakes occur when pent up stress in rocks along large, active faults (like the SAF) is suddenly released as the rock breaks. <P> Japan's megaquake and killer tsunami: How did this happen?

<P> Itchy skin, also known as pruritus, is an irritating and uncontrollable sensation that makes you want to scratch to relieve the feeling. The possible causes for itchiness range from internal illnesses, such as kidney or liver disease, to skin rashes, allergies, and dermatitis. Many skin conditions that are common can cause itchy skin. The following can affect any area of skin on the body: 1 dermatitis: inflammation of the skin. 2 eczema: a chronic skin disorder that includes itchy, scaly rashes. 3 psoriasis: an autoimmune disease that causes skin redness and irritation, usually in the form of plaques. <P> And, with so many things coming into contact with your skin daily, you're bound to get an itch or two. Serious itching can be caused by allergies, disease, emotions and infections, but let's take a look at what causes the common itches that aggravate you everyday. Itching, also known as pruritus, starts with some kind of external stimuli, including bugs, dust, clothing fibers and hair. <P> Itch in contrast creates a scratch reflex, which draws one to the affected skin site. Itch generates stimulus of a foreign object underneath or upon the skin and also the urge to remove it. For example, responding to a local itch sensation is an effective way to remove insects from one's skin. Scratching has traditionally been regarded as a way to relieve oneself by reducing the annoying itch sensation. 1 Pruritus ani (also known as anusitis), irritation of skin at the exit of the rectum (anus), causing the desire to scratch. 2 Referred itch, phenomenon in which a stimulus applied in one region of the body is felt as an itch or irritation in a different part of the body. <P> Substances that irritate the skin and make it itchy are common.

These parasites are released from infected snails into fresh and salt water (such as lakes, ponds, and oceans). Because swimmer's itch is caused by an allergic reaction to infection, the more often you swim or wade in contaminated water, the more likely you are to develop more serious symptoms. <P> Itch is likely to be more than a localized phenomenon in the place we scratch. Results from a study showed that itching and scratching were induced purely by visual stimuli in a public lecture on itching. The sensation of pain can also be induced in a similar fashion, often by listening to a description of an injury. 1 Pruritus ani (also known as anusitis), irritation of skin at the exit of the rectum (anus), causing the desire to scratch. 2 Referred itch, phenomenon in which a stimulus applied in one region of the body is felt as an itch or irritation in a different part of the body. <P> itch. n. 1. an irritation or tickling sensation of the skin causing a desire to scratch. 2. a restless desire. 3.

The precise location of the ancient city was thirteen kilometres from the coast. <P> The people of Cyrene were African people who lived in what is now Libya. Situated on the Mediterranean coast of northern Africa, Cyrene was the chief city of the region known then as Cyrenaica, the nation that bordered Egypt on the west. Cyrene itself lay about 450 miles (720 km) west of Alexandria, Egypt. Cyrene is the African country where Simon of Cyrene came from, that blessed brother who helped the Lord Jesus bear His cross up to Mount Calvary (Mt 27:32).

what does a strawberry come from
|
<P> Technically, the strawberry is an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant's ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries. Each apparent seed (achene) on the outside of the fruit is actually one of the ovaries of the flower, with a seed inside it. The strawberry fruit was mentioned in ancient Roman literature in reference to its medicinal use. The French began taking the strawberry from the forest to their gardens for harvest in the 14th century. <P> 1 Benefits of Strawberries Strawberries are a popular fruit often associated with summer. 2 The red fruit can be consumed plain or in a variety of ways, such as in smoothies, as a topping for cereals or 3 ….

From at least the time of Aristotle until well into the 17th century, there was a belief in an errant hypothesis called spontaneous generation . <P> The garden strawberry (or simply strawberry; Fragaria × ananassa) is a widely grown hybrid species of the genus Fragaria (collectively known as the strawberries). The strawberry fruit was mentioned in ancient Roman literature in reference to its medicinal use. The French began taking the strawberry from the forest to their gardens for harvest in the 14th century. <P> June bearing or spring bearing, everbearing and day neutral are the three types of strawberries grown in Illinois. Fruits of day neutral plants and everbearers are usually smaller than June-bearers fruit. June bearing strawberries produce a crop during a two-to-three week period in the spring. Everbearers do not produce many runners. Day neutral strawberries will produce fruit throughout the growing season. These strawberries produce just a few runners. Everbearing and day neutral strawberries are great for gardeners who have limited space. <P> Fragaria /frəˈɡɛəriə/ is a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae, commonly known as strawberries for their edible fruits. There are more than 20 described species and many hybrids and cultivars. Strawberries are not true berries.

There are two different types of strawberries, the June bearing which has berries for a period of two to three weeks and can be found in peoples gardens across the United States. There are also ever-bearing strawberries which produce berries all spring and summer. Most of these are grown for wholesale. California grows most of the strawberries. Strawberries got their name because they used to put straw around the plants so when the berries set on they wouldn't be touching the soil. <P> I was shocked to learn that over 80% of our strawberries come from California. It makes sense, the weather is perfect year round to grow them! They have warm and sunny days, fog that rolls in and a light ocean breeze. Apparently, strawberries grow where people love to live. <P> The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s via a cross of Fragaria virginiana from eastern North America and Fragaria chiloensis, which was brought from Chile by Amedee-Amédée Francois françois frezier. frézier in 1714 The strawberry fruit was mentioned in ancient Roman literature in reference to its medicinal use.

what is streptococcal shock syndrome
|
<P> An infection caused by strep or staph bacteria can lead to toxic shock syndrome. These bacteria are common and usually don't cause problems. But in rare cases, the toxins enter the bloodstream and cause a severe immune reaction. This reaction causes the symptoms of TSS. <P> Cause of Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome: Streptococcus bacterial infection often from a wound or bruise. Causes of Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome: The source of streptococcus, when identified, is most often the site of a minor <P> Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome (STSS) is a severe illness associated with invasive or non-invasive group A streptococcal (Streptococcus pyogenes) infection. STSS may occur with infection at any site, but most often occurs in association with infection of a cutaneous lesion. <P> Acute respiratory distress syndrome Table 1. Case definition of streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome (streptococcal TSS) and necrotizing fasciitis* I. Streptococcal TSSA. Isolation of group A Streptococcus Streptococcus from a normally sterile body siteB. <P> Simply stated, “non-streptococcal” toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is synonymous with TSS caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Clinically, it resembles streptococcal TSS with fever, hypotension, thrombo-cytopenia, and renal involvement, but there are several differences. <P> Toxic shock syndrome is a rare, life-threatening complication of certain types of bacterial infections. Often toxic shock syndrome results from toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria, but the condition may also be caused by toxins produced by group A streptococcus (strep) bacteria. Toxic shock syndrome historically has been associated primarily with the use of superabsorbent tampons. <P> 1 Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome: Some cases of toxic shock syndrome are caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, the same bacterium that causes strep throat. 2 S. pyogenes often comes from a skin infection and causes a more serious form of toxic shock syndrome than S. aureus. <P> INTRODUCTION: Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is now recognized as a toxin-mediated, multisystem illness. It is characterized by an early onset of shock with multiorgan failure and continues to be associated with high morbidity and mortality, caused by group A Streptococcus pyogenes. <P> Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a toxin-mediated acute life-threatening illness, usually precipitated by infection with either Staphylococcus aureus or group A Streptococcus (GAS), also called Streptococcus pyogenes.

<P> Colleges often report a combined tuition and fees figure. According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2014–2015 school year was $31,231 at private colleges, $9,139 for state residents at public colleges, and $22,958 for out-of-state residents attending public universities. <P> The average cost of supplies required for elementary grades is about $26 for around a dozen items, but the cost can range from less than $5 to more than $80. The average cost in middle school was $52 to $60 for roughly 17 items, with the cost ranging from $13 to more than $150. <P> According to a sampling of school supply lists from around the Peninsula, rising sixth graders will pay more than their elementary and middle school peers. On average, sixth graders will spend $70.89 on required school supplies, about $18 more than the average cost of supplies for other grades. <P> In all, we looked at supply lists for more than 20 schools. The average cost of required supplies for elementary students for the 2012-2013 school year is $44.48. Middle school students will spend about $68.84 on supplies. To compare the lists, we visited a major big box retailer to scope out prices. <P> pin. email. If the words school supplies call to mind a few pencils, a notebook, maybe a Trapper Keeper, get ready for the new math: The average K-12 parent will spend $100 per student on school supplies this year, up 12 percent from last year. And that might be getting off easy. <P> According to the National Retail Federation, parents will spend $26.5 billion on K-12 back-to-school necessities this year. That’s an average $669.28 per child, up 5 percent from last year’s $634.78. Elementary school kids cost the least, with high school kids nearing the top of the estimates.

<P> After The Jay Leno Show was canceled in January 2010 amid a host controversy, Leno returned to host The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on March 1, 2010. He hosted his last episode of The Tonight Show on February 6, 2014. That year, he was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame. The deal was made that O'Brien would receive a $33 million payout and that his staff of almost 200 would receive $12 million in the departure. O'Brien's final episode aired on Friday, January 22, 2010. Leno returned as host of The Tonight Show following the 2010 Winter Olympics <P> Jay Leno (b. April 28, 1950) is a talk show host. Starting in 1992, he was the host of NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. In 2009, Leno left The Tonight Show to be replaced … by Conan O'Brien. He then launched a new NBC show called The Jay Leno Show. When O'Brien left the network in 2010 due to a timeslot conflict, Leno returned to The Tonight Show where he currently is. <P> 33. View. comments. Jon Stewart was named as the highest paid late night entertainer with earnings of $25-30 million a year for hosting The Daily Show. The 50-year-old Stewart outpaced past late night salary leaders Jay Leno and David Letterman, in an annual survey released by TV Guide on Tuesday. The TV Guide survey of television salaries showed that Ashton Kutcher, 35, remained the highest paid actor on the small screen with his $750,000 per episode salary for Two And A Half Men. Mark Harmon was ranked second with $525,000 per episode of NCIS, plus a piece of the drama's profits. <P> While the salary for a lead has been $150,000 to $200,000 per episode in recent years, most deals for stars of new series were between $75,000 and $125,000. No one broke the bank on anything this year, says one former studio head. Fall TV: Get scoop on your favorite shows and stars. <P> Jay Leno first became the host of NBC's The Tonight Show in 1992, taking over from Johnny Carson. Jay stepped down to retire in 2009 but soon made a return to television with a prime time talk show called The Jay Leno Show. On top of his Tonight Show salary, Jay earns an additional $15 – $20 million per year from a hectic stand up touring schedule. Jay has stated in past interviews that 100% of the money he earns from The Tonight Show, after taxes and fees, goes directly into his bank account and he just lives off his stand up earnings <P> EXCLUSIVE: Jay Leno-hosted Tonight Show will air its last episode on February 6, and, per terms of his show exit deal with NBC, the cast and crew will be paid until his contract expires in September.

<P> An athletic director oversees sports programs at a high school or college. Find out about the education and experience you'll need to become an athletic director at each level, and get information on certifications. Schools offering Education-Sports Management degrees can also be found in these popular choices. <P> An athletic director is an administrator who works in a high school, college, or university. As an athletic director, some of your job duties may be to fundraise and budget for intercollegiate and intramural athletic activities. You may also be responsible for recruiting, managing publicity, and supervising coaches. <P> Athletic directors, or ADs, are high school or postsecondary administrators responsible for the development and supervision of campus athletic programs. Entry-level AD positions require at least a bachelor's degree, but most positions demand at least a master's and relevant experience. <P> If you intend to become a high school athletic director, you may wish to pursue an advanced degree in educational leadership. You might also consider a degree in physical education and health, sports medicine, sports management or a related field. <P> Educational Qualifications. To work as an athletic director in a high school, you may need a bachelor's degree in an area like education or physical education. <P> There are a few master’s degrees that can be applied to athletic directing, but the best one overall is athletic administration. A master’s degree in athletic administration will fully equip you for a future job as an athletic director. If you want to be a high school athletics director, a bachelors is also reasonable but less likely to get you a job (visit Education Portal for more information). <P> At the 4-year undergraduate degree level, students interested in becoming athletic directors can pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Sports Administration or a related degree. Athletic director programs integrate so many business principles that some 4-year degree programs enable students to earn business minors.

what vitamins are good for the skin
|
<P> 1. Vitamin A. Necessary for the maintenance and repair of vital skin tissue, vitamin A is the key to healthy skin. If you’re deficient in vitamin A, your skin may take on a dry, flaky complexion. Get your daily recommended allowances of vitamin A through foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, and dark, leafy vegetables. Vitamin C can also help reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and reduce photo damage. 4. Vitamin E. Use vitamin E on your skin to help reduce the appearance of scars and rough, dry skin. To keep skin looking supple and soft, try adding more nuts, olives, and spinach to your diet, all of which are high in the vitamin. <P> Certain vitamins and antioxidants may help improve the health and quality of your skin. Research has found that antioxidant vitamins A, C and E, as well as selenium, can help support and maintain healthy skin and may protect the skin against sun damage. 1 Vitamin E: Helps the body regulate retinol levels, which is essential for healthy skin. 2 It is also key for healthy immune system and healthy eyes. 3 Selenium: A mineral that may help protect the skin against sun damage and wrinkles. <P> Different vitamins and minerals can be particularly good for your skin, helping to rejuvenate it and restore a healthy glow. Some nutrients also serve as antioxidants, which help to reduce the effect of free radicals on your cells. These vitamins and minerals will help your skin look its best. It is possible to receive what you need through balanced nutrition, but supplements can help make up for any deficits in your diet. See the links on the next page for more information. <P> Vitamin C also stimulates the production of collagen in your skin. Collagen is the protein responsible for making your skin supple. So if you wish to retain smooth and youthful skin then Vitamin C can help. Most fruits are good sources of Vitamin C so try to make fruits a staple addition to your everyday diet. Since Vitamin A also helps the skin rebuild tissues, it is also an essential vitamin when it comes to healing scrapes, wounds and other damages to the skin. Patients who suffer from the skin disease psoriasis are often advised to apply retinoids (a form of Vitamin A) to regulate cellular growth. <P> Nutrients for Healthy Skin. Of all the news coming from the beauty community, the loudest buzz may be about the power of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to give skin a more radiant, healthy, and, yes, youthful glow. http://img.webmd.com/dtmcms/live/webmdNone. The beauty of the skin is that you can affect it from both inside and out, says dermatologist Doris Day, MD, author of Forget the Facelift: Turn Back the Clock with a Revolutionary Program for Ageless Skin. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants is good for your whole body, including your skin. Antioxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamins C, E, and A can curb the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. These molecules can harm skin cells and cause signs of aging <P> Overview. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is essential for the maintenance of healthy skin. Naturally occurring vitamin E is not a single compound; instead, vitamin E is a group of molecules with related structures, some of which may have unique properties in skin. Topical application can also supply the skin with vitamin E and may provide specific vitamin E forms that are not available from the diet. As an antioxidant, vitamin E primarily reacts with reactive oxygen species. In addition, vitamin E can also absorb the energy from ultraviolet (UV) light. <P> So if you wish to keep lines, wrinkles, dull skin and other skin aging symptoms at bay then Vitamin A may can be of great help. Good sources of Vitamin A include eggs, leafy greens, milk, carrots, pumpkins, liver and more. 2. Vitamin E. Vitamin E is perhaps the most well-known vitamin that is essential for healthy skin. This is because Vitamin E is an effective antioxidant that helps fight free radicals in your body. Free radicals are caused by a number of factors such as smoking, pollution and sun exposure. Since Vitamin A also helps the skin rebuild tissues, it is also an essential vitamin when it comes to healing scrapes, wounds and other damages to the skin. Patients who suffer from the skin disease psoriasis are often advised to apply retinoids (a form of Vitamin A) to regulate cellular growth. <P> What You Eat Matters. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants is good for your whole body, including your skin. Antioxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamins C, E, and A can curb the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. These molecules can harm skin cells and cause signs of aging.

what causes an e coli urinary tract infection
|
<P> An E. coli urinary tract infection is the most common type of urinary tract infection. Nearly all of the UTIs that occur are caused by E. coli (Escherichia coli), a common bacteria find in the lower intestines of animals. They can also cause any number of infections, including pneumonia, sinusitis and endocarditis. <P> Causes. E. coli urinary tract infections occur when E. coli is introduced into the urinary system, usually through the urethra. E. coli is a common bacteria that is found in the lower intestines and stool of many mammals. <P> The most common UTIs occur mainly in women and affect the bladder and urethra. 1 Infection of the bladder (cystitis). 2 This type of UTI is usually caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. 3 However, sometimes other bacteria are responsible. <P> 1 Infection of the bladder (cystitis). 2 This type of UTI is usually caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. 3 However, sometimes other bacteria are responsible. 4 Sexual intercourse may lead to cystitis, but you don't have to be sexually active to develop it. <P> Escherichia coli is one of the most frequent causes of many common bacterial infections, including cholecystitis, bacteremia, cholangitis, urinary tract infection (UTI), and traveler's diarrhea, and other clinical infections such as neonatal meningitis and pneumonia. <P> Other strains of E. coli can cause urinary tract infections or other infections. You get an E. coli infection by coming into contact with the feces, or stool, of humans or animals. This can happen when you drink water or eat food that has been contaminated by feces. E. coli can get into meat during processing. <P> Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common type of infection caused by bacteria (most often E. coli) that travel up the urethra to the bladder. A bladder infection is called cystitis. If bacterial infection spreads to the kidneys and ureters, the condition is called pyelonephritis.

<P> Medical Definition of PILUS. : a hair or a structure (as on the surface of a bacterial cell) resembling a hair. ADVERTISEMENT. Latin. First Known Use: 1760. <P> A pilus (Latin; plural: pili) is a hairlike structure on the surface of a cell, especially Gram-negative bacteria, a protein appendage required for bacterial conjugation. Pili connect the bacterium to another of its species and build a bridge between the cytoplasm of either cell. <P> (1) (microbiology) Short, filamentous projections on a bacterial cell, used not for motility but for adhering to other bacterial cell (especially for mating) or to animal cells. (singular: pilus). (2) (botany) Philippine tree Canarium ovatum whose seeds are edible; source of Pili nut. <P> Pili can also aid in attachment between bacterial cells. Some bacteria are able to produce conjugation pili that allow for the transfer of DNA from one bacterial cell to another. Bacteria have evolved the process of conjugation as a way to increase genetic variability. <P> Pili. The first external structure is the pilus (plural: pili). A pilus is a thin, rigid fiber made of protein that protrudes from the cell surface. The primary function of pili are to attach a bacterial cell to specific surfaces or to other cells. <P> Pilus. Definition. noun, plural: pili. (microbiology) Short, filamentous projection on a bacterial cell, used not for motility but for adhering to other bacterial cell (especially for mating) or to animal cells. Supplement. Bacterial pili are involved in cell adhesion. <P> Above: a pilus projecting from the surface of a Gram negative bacterial cell. 'Pilus' is Latin for 'hair' (plural pili) and describes not so much hair-like bacterial appendages, but thin rod-like appendages that some bacteria have.

what is osmosis in cells
|
<P> Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration (weak/dilute solution) to an area of low water concentration (strong/concentrated solution) through a partially permeable membrane. As we know each cell is surrounded by a cell membrane. This membrane has tiny holes in it which allow small molecules to pass through but not large ones. Due to this nature the cell membrane is described as being partially (or selectively) permeable. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion involving water molecules. <P> Osmosis is the movement of a solvent across a semipermeable membrane toward a higher concentration of solute. In biological systems, the solvent is typically water, but osmosis can occur in other liquids, supercritical liquids, and even gases. When a plant cell is placed in a solution that is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm, water moves into the cell and the cell swells to become turgid. Osmosis is responsible for the ability of plant roots to draw water from the soil. <P> Osmosis in red blood cells. If a red blood cell is placed in water, water enters the cell by osmosis. Because the membrane is quite weak the cell will burst as the volume and therefore the pressure in the cell increases. Red blood cells shrink when placed in concentrated solutions of sugar as water moves out of them by osmosis. This makes the cells appear wrinkled when viewed through a microscope. <P> Osmosis is the traveling of water across a membrane. It is important for a cell’s survival to regulate osmosis in order to maintain an optimal internal environment, according to Student Study Guide for Campbell’s BIOLOGY, Fourth Edition by Martha R. Taylor. Biological cell membranes are selectively permeable, which means that the ease and rate of small molecules passing through membranes vary widely. The plasma membrane regulates exchange of nutrients, oxygen, inorganic ions, waste products, and water. The cellular membrane’s molecular organization controls permeability. <P> Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. When a plant cell is placed in a solution that is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm, water moves into the cell and the cell swells to become turgid. Osmosis is responsible for the ability of plant roots to draw water from the soil. <P> When a cell is submerged in water, the water molecules pass through the cell membrane from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration. For example, if the cell is submerged in saltwater, water molecules move out of the cell. If a cell is submerged in freshwater, water molecules move into the cell. When a plant cell is placed in a solution that is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm, water moves into the cell and the cell swells to become turgid. Osmosis is responsible for the ability of plant roots to draw water from the soil. <P> Osmosis is the result of diffusion across a semipermeable membrane. If two solutions of different concentration are separated by a semipermeable membrane, then the solvent will tend to diffuse across the membrane from the less concentrated to the more concentrated solution. This process is called osmosis. Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, down a solute concentration gradient. Process. Diffusion mainly occurs in gaseous state or within gas molecules and liquid molecules.(e.g. <P> Effects of osmosis in plant cells. Plant cells are enclosed by a rigid cell wall. When the plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, it takes up water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting. The plant cell is said to have become turgid i.e. swollen and hard. 1. If the water concentration of the cell s cytoplasm is lower then that of the medium (i.e. the medium is a hypotonic solution) surrounding the cell then osmosis will result in the cell gaining water. <P> Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a cell membrane. It is an essential process in cell membrane functioning. Whether or not a cell contains a rigid cellular wall or not will determine how it reacts to hypotonic and hypertonic solutions. Biological cell membranes are selectively permeable, which means that the ease and rate of small molecules passing through membranes vary widely. The plasma membrane regulates exchange of nutrients, oxygen, inorganic ions, waste products, and water. The cellular membrane’s molecular organization controls permeability.

where is vegemite made
|
<P> Vegemite. Delicious Australian spread, made from used brewer's yeast. Non-Australians tend to give descriptions of it similar to 'tastes like a mixture of salt and battery acid'. This is because they are wimps, and need to drink more beer, eat more pies, and of course, eat more Vegemite. <P> A. VEGEMITE is certified Halal by The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils. VEGEMITE is made on a dedicated production line and does not contain or come into contact with any animal derived ingredients and the yeast in the product has been processed to ensure the product is alcohol free. <P> A spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits as well as a filling for pastries, Vegemite is similar to British, New Zealand and South African Marmite, Australian Promite, Swiss Cenovis and German Hefeextrakt. Vegemite is salty, slightly bitter, malty, and rich in umami – similar to beef bouillon. <P> It is similar to British and New Zealand Marmite and to Swiss Cenovis. Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste may be described as salty, slightly bitter, and malty — somewhat similar to the taste of beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky, much like peanut butter. <P> How to Enjoy Vegemite. Vegemite is an iconic Australian spread. It is made from what is left over in the vat after brewing the beer. It basically consists of dormant yeast, boiled-down vegetable stock, and lots of salt. Although many Australians enjoy it, it is definitely an acquired taste. <P> Vegemite (/ˈvɛdʒɨmaɪt/ VEJ-ə-myt) is a dark brown Australian food paste made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives developed by Cyril P.

jockey weight and height requirements
|
<P> Jockey being weighed post-race, holding equipment. Jockeys must be light to ride at the weights which are assigned to their mounts. There are horse carrying weight limits, that are set by racing authorities. The Kentucky Derby, for example, has a weight limit of 126 lb (57 kg) including the jockey's equipment. The weight of a jockey usually ranges from 108 to 118 lb (49 to 54 kg). Despite their light weight, they must be able to control a horse that is moving at 40 mph (64 km/h) and weighs 1,200 lb (540 kg). Though there is no height limit for jockeys, they are usually fairly short due to the weight limits. Jockeys typically stand around 4 ft 10 in (1.47 m) to 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m) <P> Weight Limits. Depending on specific race and track guidelines, a jockey must weigh between 108 and 118 pounds without clothing and equipment, which can add a significant number of pounds. Jockeys need a riding license from the state in which they race. The minimum age to be licensed is 16 years old. As a general rule, a jockey is prohibited from owning the horse being raced. The jockey owns all the equipment used in the job, including saddles, bridles, crops, clothing and helmets. <P> Report Abuse. There is no minimum or maximum height requirement for jockeys. The minimum weight or average weight is 112 (they can weigh less though) and the maximum weight is 117. Source(s): 5 years working with race horses. racehorsegal · 9 years ago. <P> 1 Physical Requirements: a light build and specified weight (Although jockeys have the reputation of being elfishly small, the average jockey can be between 4'10 and 5'7; the weight is far more crucial than the rider's height). <P> Best Answer: The lightest jockey I know of now is 98 pounds, most apprentices have to be around 105 so they are able to take advantage of the 10 and 5 pound weight allowance. The least amount a horse will carry in a handicap race or with a 10 pound apprentice is around 100-105. There is no minimum or maximum height requirement for jockeys.

And, if the jockey has a bug (5-10 lbs. less for just starting out as a jockey-apprentice), than that particular horse will now carry 106 lbs., or even 101 lbs. for that particular race. If the weight asignments afforded a racehorse-thoroughbred/quarter horse for a race are 121 lbs for every borse in the race and minus five lbs for age difference, the horse will carry 116 lbs. and if there is an addditional allowance for a horse to carry even 5 lbs. <P> Height Considerations. There are no height limits for jockeys. However, jockeys tend to be shorter than normal to meet the weight guidelines. The average height for a jockey is between 4 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 6 inches. Jockeys need a riding license from the state in which they race. The minimum age to be licensed is 16 years old. As a general rule, a jockey is prohibited from owning the horse being raced. The jockey owns all the equipment used in the job, including saddles, bridles, crops, clothing and helmets. <P> “It works on your nervous system. It works on your mind.”. Weight requirements vary from race to race and track to track, but generally horses carry between 112 and 126 pounds, which includes jockey and about 7 pounds worth of gear. Some jockeys lose as much as 10 pounds in a day. “It’s dangerous,” Haire told FNL

what does OA mean
|
<P> Osteoarthritis (OA), which is also known as osteoarthrosis or degenerative joint disease (DJD), is a progressive disorder of the joints caused by gradual loss of cartilage and resulting in the development of bony spurs and cysts at the margins of the joints. Osteoarthritis is caused by disintegration of the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones. As the cartilage wears away, the roughened surface of the bone is exposed, and pain and stiffness result. In severe cases the center of the bone wears away and a bony ridge is left around the edges. <P> Report Abuse. OA is either: 1. Actually COA and the label is damaged where you can't read the C. COA stands for certificate of authenticity and all Win7's should have one. 2. OA, CIS and GE all refer to Russian editions of Win7. If your Win7 is in English, I'm sure you label actually is supposed to read COA. If your Win7 is in Russian, then OA refers to the Russian language edition of Win7. <P> A. Arthritis is a general term that means inflammation of the joints. Osteoarthritis, commonly known as wear and tear arthritis, is the most common type of arthritis. It is associated with a breakdown of cartilage in joints and can occur in almost any joint in the body. It commonly occurs in the weight-bearing joints of the hips, knees, and spine. <P> 1. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Activation is also known as OA. It basically is OEM basic input/output system (BIOS) activation -- meaning they've activated it already and you don't need to enter the key and activate yourself. <P> A type of arthritis marked by progressive cartilage deterioration in synovial joints and vertebrae. Risk factors include aging, obesity, overuse or abuse of joints (repetitive motions, bending, lifting), as in sports or strenuous occupations, instability of joints, excessive mobility, immobilization, and trauma. Signs and symptoms include pain and inflammation in one or more joints, typically in the hands, knees, hips, and spine. The dominant side of the body is involved somewhat more often than the nondominant side. <P> Inflammation of the synovial membrane of the joint is common late in the disease. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. Its cause is unknown but may include chemical, mechanical, genetic, metabolic, and endocrine factors. Emotional stress often aggravates the condition. Osteoarthritis is caused by disintegration of the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones.

typical acetylene cost

<P> Sounts good to me. I pay about $150 for a 125 cu ft (wshielding gas, but same tank). Normally a X cf O2 cylinder gests mated to a similar capacity C2H2 cylinder. The tank will be physically smaller since the C2H2 is dissolved in acetone. Usually it's a pain in the butt to get an owned cylinder bigger then 125. <P> According t … o www.doityourself.com a yard of concrete will cost about $75.00 so a cubic foot will cost you $75/27, which would be about $2.78 per cubic foot. 1 foot of concrete is a very small volume so you will probably be charged for a minimum quantity which will be more that the cost of 1 foot. <P> 1 On average, the price for a swap out of about 60 cubic foot acetylene owner-cylinder is about $70, while you should be prepared to spend about $35 for a 40 cubic foot exchange of an owner tank. 2 The cost is going to depend on where you get the refill and the size of the tank. <P> I bought the oxy cylinders for $200 even and the exhange charge is around 25 bucks. I currently own 2- 145 cf acetylene cylinders that i bought for $200 even as well.They cost around 40 bucks to exchange. Also to note that these cylinders i have are not on any lease contract.I own them forever. <P> How much is it? 1 On average, the price for a swap out of about 60 cubic foot acetylene owner-cylinder is about $70, while you should be prepared to spend about $35 for a 40 cubic foot exchange of an owner tank. <P> 1 When acetylene must be pressurized and then stored for use in oxy-acetylene metal cutting and welding operations, special storage cylinders are used. 2 These tanks are available in multiple sizes. 3 The cost of a new tank depends upon the size of the tank. 4 For instance, a new, 40 cubic foot tank retails for about $75.

what is piston pumping loss
|
<P> The force (F) required to lift the piston, will be the weight of the piston and pump rods (Wp), plus the weight of the column of water having a cross section equal to the piston area and a height equal to the head (H). There is also a dynamic load which is the force needed to accelerate these masses. <P> Axial-piston pumps consist of a set of pistons that are fitted within a cylinder block and driven by an angled swash plate powered by the input shaft. As the swash plate rotates, the pistons reciprocate in their respective cylinder block bores to provide the pumping action. Vane-type pumps can handle inlet vacuum up to 6 in.-Hg (152.4 mm-Hg) and piston-type pumps up to 4 in.-Hg (101.6 mm-Hg). Noise and Vibration Vane-type pumps are the quietest and most vibration-free followed by piston-and gear-type pumps in that order. <P> Analysis on the friction losses of a bent-axis type hydraulic piston pump. 1 Yeh-Sun HongAffiliated withSchool of Aeronautical & Mechanical Engineering, Hankuk Aviation University Email author. , 2 Yoon-Ho DohAffiliated withSchool of Aeronautical & Mechanical Engineering, Hankuk Aviation University. The design of an axial piston pump for electro-hydrostatic transmission systems requires accurate information where and how much the internal friction and flow losses are produced. <P> In this paper, it is shown that the viscous friction forces on the valve plate and input shaft bearing are the primary source of the friction losses of the bent-axis type pump, while the friction forces and moments on the piston are of little significance. The design of an axial piston pump for electro-hydrostatic transmission systems requires accurate information where and how much the internal friction and flow losses are produced. <P> Engine efficiency of thermal engines is the relationship between the total energy contained in the fuel, and the amount of energy used to perform useful work. There are two classifications of thermal engines-. The efficiency of engine is defined as ratio of the useful work done to the heat provided. where, is the heat absorbed and is the work done. <P> An axial piston pump is a positive displacement pump that has a number of pistons in a circular array within a cylinder block. An axial piston pump has a number of pistons (usually an odd number) arranged in a circular array within a housing which is commonly referred to as a cylinder block, rotor or barrel. <P> Pumping loss Gas exchange system (air filter, intake, throttle, valves, exhaust pipes, after-treatment device, muffler) Engine fluid flow* (coolant, oil) *Have to be careful to avoid double-counting. The engine coolant and oil flow losses are provided for by the oil and water pump. <P> Control losses occur on the discharge side of a centrifugal pump that has been equipped with a backpressure valve to control flow rate. As the liquid flows through the control valve, energy is lost. Next to static head, control losses are frequently the most important factor in calculating the pump’s total dynamic head. A pump can be defined as “a mechanical device that adds energy to a fluid to increase its flow rate and static pressure.” This process can be accomplished with positive displacement pumps or kinetic-energy pumps. <P> Over the intake stroke, the piston is being acted upon * by the intake manifold pressure (vacuum) minus (even more vacuum) pressure drop across the intake valve/port. On the exhaust stroke it is being acted upon * by the exhaust manifold pressure PLUS pressure drop across the exhaust valve/port. Both of these strokes are thus resisting the motion of the crank, and therefore absorbing power. This power goes toward heating the air that is pumped through the engine. This is pumping loss. Since exhaust manifold pressure (assuming a decent exhaust system) is typically near ambient, pumping loss is mostly a function of intake vacuum.

how much does canadian government give you per month per child
|
<P> I get $380/week for EI maternity pay $100/month provincial child care benefit $380/month child tax benefit. however that should go up as well as provincial child care benefit due to the fact I've had twins in the past 5 weeks. just waiting for papers to go through. Best Answer: There is the Child Tax Benefit, it is based off of your income. There is the Universal Child Care benefit, which is $100/month per child under six. And there is the Working Tax Credit, which is added to your GST cheques every 3 months. For example: We had 3 kids, and I get $1,086.15 from the CTB and UCC, I get $418.00 for my GST and WTC <P> How much money will I get from the Canada Child Tax Benefit? The amount you will receive depends on your income and how many children you have, so it is different for every family. For example, if your net family income is less than $37,885 per year and you have one child, you could receive as much as $1,300 per year. The lower your income and the more children you have, the higher the benefit amount you can receive. The government recalculates your benefit each year, which means that if your income changes you may be able to receive more money. The same application is used for both the Canada Child Tax Benefit and the Universal Child Care Benefit, so you can apply for both programs at the same time anyway. <P> Yes, it's true. The benefit in question is Canada's Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) . The UCCB was introduced in the 2006 Federal Budget. The UCCB provides all families with $100 per month for each child under age 6. Benefits began in July, 2006. What's confusing is how to apply for the UCCB. When UCCB was introduced, there existed another benefit called the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) . <P> Yes, Canada has a child tax benefit program that is based on your income with a max payout of aprox $248 per month plus a bonus of $100 monthly till the age of 6 no matter what your income is. mbmedic · 7 years ago.

For children under age five, these were $5 per month; for six-to-nine-year-olds $6; 10-12 years, $7; and 13-15, $8. The average payment per child was $5.94 — considerably below the Marsh Report's recommended minimum payment of $7.50 per child. It expanded the role of the tax system in child support, which saw a diminished role for family allowances. The government instead established a Refundable Child Tax Credit of $200 per annum for families with incomes of $18,000 or less. As incomes rose above this level, benefits would be taxed away to disappear entirely at $26,000 <P> The new benefit — paying a maximum of $85 per month per child up to the age of 18 — was tax-free and income-tested on the basis of net family income as reported in the preceding year's income tax returns.

The enhanced UCCB would replace the existing Child Tax Credit for the 2015 and subsequent taxation years. The Government proposes to increase the dollar limits of the CCED by $1,000—i.e., to $8,000 from $7,000 per child under age 7, to $5,000 from $4,000 for each child aged 7 through 16 (and for infirm dependent children over age 16), and to $11,000 from $10,000 for children who are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit.

what is severe osteoporosis
|
<P> The best treatment for severe osteoporosis. Treatment for severe osteoporosis is based on the following findings: 1- People with a history of osteoporosis must undergo treatment to reduce the risk of fractures. 2- Evidence suggests that treatment for severe osteoporosis has borne good results in patients. <P> Osteoporosis and Spine Fractures. Many people -- especially those with osteoporosis -- have severe back pain that's caused by spine fractures. A fractured spine can be extremely painful and also result in disfigurement and immobility. Osteoporosis Bone Fractures: A Treatment Overview. Osteoporosis can be a silent disease, but many patients suffer symptoms such as pain and height loss. Read a brief description of osteoporosis symptoms. Compression Fractures of the Back. Sudden, severe back pain, especially in older women, often signifies a spinal compression fracture -- a sign of weak bones. <P> The most common cause of osteoporosis pain is a spinal compression fracture. If you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, or if you have several risk factors for osteoporosis, these symptoms may indicate a compression fracture 1 : Sudden, severe back pain that gets worse when you are standing or walking. 2 Some pain relief when lying down. Medication to Relieve Osteoporosis Pain. Medication is the most popular way to manage osteoporosis pain. Drugs include: 1 Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen are safe pain relievers for most people. 2 These may cause stomach irritation and bleeding or liver problems. <P> A bone mineral density (BMD) test is can provide a snapshot of your bone health. The test can identify osteoporosis, determine your risk for fractures (broken bones), and measure your response to osteoporosis treatment. <P> Osteoporosis is a disease where decreased bone strength increases the risk of a broken bone. It is the most common reason for a broken bone among people who are old. Bones that commonly break include the back bones, the bones of the forearm, and the hip. Until a broken bone occurs there are typically no symptoms. Bone loss increases after menopause due to lower levels of estrogen. Osteoporosis may also occur due to a number of diseases or treatments including alcoholism, anorexia, hyperthyroidism, surgical removal of the ovaries, and kidney disease. <P> Osteoporosis is a condition that has virtually no symptoms until severe bone damage has already occurred. Once the bones have been weakened by bone density loss, symptoms may include: 1 Back pain. 2 Loss of height over time with stooped posture. 3 Fractures of the vertebrae, wrists, hips or other bones. Without treatment, a person with osteoporosis is likely to have fractures, most often in the spine or hips (which support the body's weight) or in the wrists from bracing against a fall. Fractures of the spine can happen even without a fall or an injury. The bones of the spine become so weak that they start to compress. <P> But when osteoporosis becomes severe, it can lead to fractures and a condition called kyphosis. Kyphosis is a deformity resulting from spinal compression fractures, sometimes described as the dowager's hump.. Both fractures and kyphosis can be very painful. Medication to Relieve Osteoporosis Pain. Medication is the most popular way to manage osteoporosis pain. Drugs include: 1 Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen are safe pain relievers for most people. 2 These may cause stomach irritation and bleeding or liver problems. <P> In my first post I said: Your question about severe osteoporosis is a good one, since I've heard differing opinions on this. According to what I've been told, and what the WHO say's about severe osteo, it's any score below -2.5 with one fragility fracture. You can read this below.

You'll need to take the antibiotic for as long as your doctor directs, usually five to 10 days but possibly as long as 14 days. In most cases, signs and symptoms of cellulitis disappear after a few days. <P> Best Answer: 32 hours is not a long time for visual improvement of a infection. That's only a day and 8 hours. Most of the time, you won't see visual improvement until about three days. Normally doctors prescribe antibiotics to childdren for a course of 10 days. <P> Treating cellulitis. Treatment for cellulitis depends on what caused the infection, the severity of your symptoms and the general state of your health. You can usually be treated at home with antibiotics if you have mild symptoms.

average tax refund
|
<P> Taxpayers residing in Connecticut, Nevada and Texas receive the highest average federal tax refunds, according to IRS data. The smallest refund checks go to mailboxes in rural states: Montana, Maine, Vermont and North Dakota. The following table shows federal individual income tax refund statistics, by state, for fiscal year 2011, the most recent state data available from the IRS: Note: Figures shown are for individual income tax returns only. <P> The average tax refund in 2012 was $2,700, equaling more than a month's worth of income for two-thirds of taxpayers, or more than three months of groceries for the average family of four, according to the American tax and financial center at TurboTax, a provider of tax preparation software. The average tax refund could cut almost one-third of the average credit card debt. According to TurboTax, 42 percent of early tax filers plan to use their refund to pay down debt and cover the costs of rent, food and utilities. Another 25 percent will save at least some of their tax refund. <P> If there were 109 million refunds in 2011 and the average refund was around $3000, that means that 109 million people collectively loaned the US Government around $327 billion for the year. How nice of them. Nice work if you can get it. In previous years, the average tax refund has been in the same range, with the average peaking for the 2009 tax year before slipping: 1 Average 2012 Refund: $2,803. 2 Average 2011 Refund: $2,913. <P> WASHINGTON — By the end of February, more than 48 million tax refunds had been issued the IRS today announced – an increase of 5.6 percent compared to the same time last year. As of Feb. 28, the average refund this year is $3,034, up 3 percent compared to the average refund amount for the same time last year. Almost 88 percent of refunds to date have been directly deposited into the accounts of taxpayers, saving them time and a trip to the bank. <P> United States [edit]. According to the Internal Revenue Service, 77% of tax returns filed in 2004 received a refund check, with the average refund check being $2,100. In 2011 the average tax refund was $2,913. Taxpayers may choose to have their refund directly deposited into their bank account, have a check mailed to them, or have their refund applied to the following year's income tax. <P> As of April 27th, nearly two weeks after the end of tax season, the average tax refund dipped slightly from two weeks ago to $2,716 as more returns were filed. They’ve now processed 126.3 million returns of a total 133.5 million received with 99.1 million refunds. In previous years, the average tax refund has been in the same range, with the average peaking for the 2009 tax year before slipping: 1 Average 2012 Refund: $2,803. 2 Average 2011 Refund: $2,913. <P> Posted by Financial Samurai 51 Comments. The average tax refund is around $3,000 in America according to the IRS. Since saving, or not spending $250 a month is difficult for many, I’m OK with such a refund. With basic savings interest rates close to zero, your opportunity cost is pretty small. If we are to compare the average tax refund to the average per capita income in America of $50,000 (~$40,000 tax), $3,000, or roughly 6-7% of income is a pretty meaningful number. <P> The math works out to just over 73% of all returns resulting in a refund. The average tax refund works out to $2,792. This means that Uncle Sam received an average of $2,792 in interest-free loans from 109,499,000 lenders (aka taxpayers), for a combined $305.7 billion. Pretty ridiculous. <P> As of March 22nd, the average tax refund stands at just a hair under three thousand dollars. At this time last year, the average was a little over that amount, sitting at $3,030 (the average for last year would later fall to $2,803 as later filers were accounted for). In previous years, the average tax refund has been in the same range, with the average peaking for the 2009 tax year before slipping: 1 Average 2012 Refund: $2,803. 2 Average 2011 Refund: $2,913. <P> I wanted to dig a little deeper on the question of average income tax refund because nearly three thousand dollars seems really high but it actually isn’t. It took a bit of searching but after some research into their SOI Tax Stats page, I was able to glean a few gems about the average tax refund. In previous years, the average tax refund has been in the same range, with the average peaking for the 2009 tax year before slipping: 1 Average 2012 Refund: $2,803. 2 Average 2011 Refund: $2,913.

who invented the first sewing machine
|
<P> In 1877 the world's first crochet machine was invented and patented by Joseph M. Merrow, then-president of what had started in the 1840s as a machine shop to develop specialized machinery for the knitting operations. This crochet machine was the first production overlock sewing machine. In 1804, a sewing machine was built by the Englishmen Thomas Stone and James Henderson, and a machine for embroidering was constructed by John Duncan in Scotland. An Austrian tailor, Josef Madersperger, began developing his first sewing machine in 1807. He presented his first working machine in 1814. <P> by Tomo · March 23, 2011. A German named Charles Wiesenthal who lived in England got patented the needle that he designed for sewing machine in 1755. It was in 1790 Thomas Saint, who was an English inventor and a maker of cabinets got a copyright for a sewing machine as a whole. Thomas Stone and James Henderson got French patent for their machine and Scott John Duncans for his embroidery machine in 1804 but both machines were a great failure. The French tailor Barthelemy Thimonnier invented the first sewing machine that could function in 1830. The machine used a single thread and a needle which was hooked. The other tailors burnt his shop and almost killed him as they thought the new invention might bring unemployment <P> He patented the first practical sewing machine in 1846. In 1846, the idea of a sewing machine was nothing new. The first patents for such a machine had been granted in England in 1755, in Austria in 1819, the U.S. in 1826 and France in 1830..Early sewing machines were designed for industrial applications. But in 1846 Elias Howe changed all that, he came up with another way to make clothes, he patented the first practical sewing machine..The sewing machine industry based on his original invention made possible the mass production of clothing on a much larger scale than had ever been possible with hand-stitching. <P> That same year a patent was granted to Scott John Duncan for an embroidery machine with multiple needles.. Both inventions failed and were soon forgotten by the public. In 1818, the first American sewing machine was invented by John Adams Doge and John Knowles. Their machine failed to sew any useful amount of fabric before malfunctioning. Hand sewing is an art form that is over 20,000 years old. The first sewing needles were made of bones or animal horns and the first thread was made of animal sinew. Iron needles were invented in the 14th century. The first eyed needles appeared in the 15 <P> In 1790, the English inventor Thomas Saint invented the first sewing machine design, but he did not successfully advertise or market his invention. His machine was meant to be used on leather and canvas material. In 1804, a sewing machine was built by the Englishmen Thomas Stone and James Henderson, and a machine for embroidering was constructed by John Duncan in Scotland. An Austrian tailor, Josef Madersperger, began developing his first sewing machine in 1807. He presented his first working machine in 1814. <P> Elias Howe was the inventor of the first American-patented sewing machine. Elias Howe was born in Spencer, Massachusetts on July 9, 1819. Cultura/Matelly/ Riser/ Getty Images. Elias Howe was the inventor of the first American-patented sewing machine. Elias Howe was born in Spencer, Massachusetts on July 9, 1819. After he lost his factory job in the Panic of 1837, Howe moved from Spencer to Boston, where he found work in a machinist's shop. <P> It was in 1846 that Elias Howe got the first American patent for a sewing machine that had one pointed eye and accepted thread from two sources. The mass production of machines started in 1850 when Isaac Singer invented the machine that was commercially successful. Thomas Stone and James Henderson got French patent for their machine and Scott John Duncans for his embroidery machine in 1804 but both machines were a great failure. The French tailor Barthelemy Thimonnier invented the first sewing machine that could function in 1830. The machine used a single thread and a needle which was hooked. The other tailors burnt his shop and almost killed him as they thought the new invention might bring unemployment <P> The first sewing machine was invented in the United States by Walter Hunt from New York. Hunt never obtained a patent. Later, Elias Howe, from Massachusetts, invented the fi … rst automatic sewing machine. Howe did receive a patent for his invention. Elias Howe was employed in a machinist's shop, where h … e had the opportunity to experiment with inventing a sewing machine. He successfully demonstrated his first sewing machine in 1846, and patented his lockstitch sewing machine on 10 September 1846 in New Hartford, Connecticut. Howe faced a legal battle after Isaac Singer invented the up-and-down motion mechanism, and Allen Wilson developed a rotary hook shuttle, both filing for patents

what is a wolf
|
<P> The gray wolf is one of the world's best known and well researched animals, with probably more books written about it than any other wildlife species. The gray wolf has very dense and fluffy winter fur, with short underfur and long, coarse guard hairs. Most of the underfur and some of the guard hairs are shed in the spring and grow back in the autumn period. The longest hairs occur on the back, particularly on the front quarters and neck. <P> A wolfdog (also called a wolf–dog hybrid or wolf hybrid) is a canid hybrid resulting from the hybridization of a domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) to one of four other Canis species, the gray (Canis lupus), eastern timber (Canis lycaon), red (Canis rufus), and Ethiopian wolves (Canis simensis). Contents. Intra-hybridization between dogs and other subspecies of gray wolves are the most common wolfdogs since dogs and gray wolves are considered the same species hence are genetically very close and have shared vast portions of their ranges for millennia. <P> This wolf is thought to be the ancestor of the domestic dog, though they have sharper senses than a dog and have 20-30% larger brains. The red wolf (Canis rufus) is a smaller, more secretive wolf, living in smaller packs from 2-10. Some scientists believe that red wolves are the decendants of gray wolf/coyote hybrids. Answer. Wolves (canis) are types of dog, the largest animal in the canine family. They are related to today's dogs and can be found many places. They are intelligent animals that have pricked ears, thick fur and dog-like builds. <P> Wolf. The ancestor of our dog, the carnivorous wolf is also related to animals such as the coyote, fox, and dingo. Wolves are endangered, but humans are beginning to open their eyes to previous mistakes and helping wolves make a comeback. <P> Full Definition of WOLF. 1. plural also wolf a: any of several large predatory canids (genus Canis) that live and hunt in packs and resemble the related dogs; especially: gray wolf — compare coyote, jackal b: the fur of a wolf. Definition of WOLF for Kids. 1. : a large bushy-tailed wild animal that resembles the related domestic dog, eats meat, and often lives and hunts in packs. 2. : a crafty or fierce person. — wolf·ish \ˈwu̇l-fish\ adjective <P> The wolf is thought to be an ice age survivor, dating wolves around 300,000 years ago. The wolf is accepted to be the ancestor of the domestic dog as the wolf is thought to have selectively bred in order to breed appealing traits typical of puppies and to eliminate the not so appealing traits of adult wolves. The grey wolf is a highly adaptive animal found in all kinds of terrain. <P> A wolf-dog hybrid (also called a wolf hybrid or wolfdog) is a canid hybrid resulting from the mating of wolf (Canis lupus) and a dog (Canis familiaris). The term wolfdo … g is preferred by most wolfdog proponents and breeders since the domestic dog was recently taxonomically recategorized as a subspecies of wolf. Answer. Wolves (canis) are types of dog, the largest animal in the canine family. They are related to today's dogs and can be found many places. They are intelligent animals that have pricked ears, thick fur and dog-like builds. <P> The gray wolf or grey wolf (Canis lupus) also known as the timber wolf, or western wolf, is a canid native to the wilderness and remote areas of North America and Eurasia. It is the largest extant member of its family, with males averaging 43–45 kg (95–99 lb), and females 36–38.5 kg (79–85 lb). The gray wolf has very dense and fluffy winter fur, with short underfur and long, coarse guard hairs. Most of the underfur and some of the guard hairs are shed in the spring and grow back in the autumn period. The longest hairs occur on the back, particularly on the front quarters and neck. <P> There are many species of wolf. The most common is the grey or timber wolf (canis lupus) that looks a lot like a husky dog. They are found in deeply wooded forest areas north America (Canada) and russia and are tall wolves. Answer.

cost to add electrical panel
|
<P> Just a note on panel upgrades. For a majority of the states electrical code panels (2011 National Electrical Code), when upgrading a panel, a majority of breakers must be replaced with the Arc-Fault type. this may increase the past cost of the job by as much as $50 a breaker. <P> 1 Can I add a 200 amp sub panel off a 200 service panel. 2 What'd be the cost for electrical upgrade to 200 amps. 3 What'd be the cost for electrical upgrade to 200 amps. 4 Cost of replacing my 100 electrical panel to 200 and adding new circuts. <P> The average home is going to require a minimum of 100 amp service, but it isn't unheard of to see installations of 200 amps and more. For this discussion we will look at the costs of upgrading the average home from 40 amps to a new panel with 200 amp service. The average cost for a 200 amp upgrade is going to be from $1300 to $3000 (including materials). <P> A qualified electrical contractor usually charges between $800 and $1,200 to upgrade an existing panel to 100 amps. This will only occur in older homes, like in Philadelphia for example, because the current minimum requirement is 100 amps. If a new panel is needed, it will cost between $1,500 and $2,500. An upgrade to 200 amps typically costs from $1,300-$3,000, and an upgrade to 400 amps can cost up to $4,000. Many people believe their circuit breaker or electrical panel is faulty because they experience a tripped breaker. <P> 1 If outlets are added as part of a larger project, such as upgrading an electrical panel or wiring, the cost per outlet could be on the lower end of the scale; if an electrician comes in just to add one outlet, the minimum charge might be higher than the range estimated above. Shopping for adding an electrical outlet: 1 <P> 1 Typically it costs $800-$1,200 to have a qualified electrician upgrade an existing panel to 100 amps, or $1,500-$2,500 if a new panel is needed. 2 Expect to pay $1,300-$3,000 to upgrade to 200 amps, or $2,000-$4,000 to go to 400 amps. 3 Installing a new sub-panel runs $500-$1,000.

dialysis how long can someone live on
|
<P> The average life expectancy of people with kidney failure on dialysis. Generally, if patients can be provided sufficient dialysis every time and don’t miss any dialysis, they can live with dialysis for approximately 5 years. This value changes for individuals in different environment and different healthy conditions. <P> Time Frame. Those undergoing kidney dialysis treatment possess a very general, average life expectancy of four years. But many scenarios come into play with some patients enjoying a bountiful life for as long as 25 years. We do not yet know how long patients on dialysis will live, says the National Kidney Foundation. We think that some dialysis patients may live as long as people without kidney failure.. <P> Two things to know-you can live a long time on dialysis; do not max out your credit cards. Remember when looking at statistics that averages are made of extremes. If five patients live two years and one patient lives twenty years, the average life span would be five years. <P> The life expectancy of a person receiving a dialysis treatment is anywhere between 5 to 7 years; however cases have emerged where a person lives a long lifetime while receiving dialysis treatment. Someone with a kidney disorder should highly consider being placed on a list for a transplant. When a person's kidneys stop working on their own, hemodialysis may be required. How long can someone live on dialysis? Although this is a scary time in a person's life, it is still possible to live a long and fulfilling life before a kidney transplant is needed. <P> How long you can live on dialysis, and how well you do, will depend on a number of things, including how healthy you are, your attitude, your quality of healthcare and how much you take an active role in your care. Sign up for no-cost Kidney Smart® education class to learn more about kidney disease. <P> The data show that 70- to 74-year-olds on dialysis can expect to live 3.6 years on average, compared with 12.2 years for all Americans of that age. For 75- to 79-year-olds, the figures dropped to 3.1 years versus 9.2 years. <P> Age. Younger people with diabetes and ESRD on dialysis can live longer than older patients. For example, 88 percent of those under the age of 20 will live through five years of dialysis. Just 21 percent of dialysis patients between 65 and 74 years of age will survive through five years. Treatments. Some statistics show that the survival rate of diabetes on dialysis is 71 percent through one year, 29 percent through five years and 11 percent after 10 years. How long can people on dialysis with ESRD and diabetes live is affected by the following factors. Other health issues. <P> And usually the longer time that patients on dialysis, the more likely they die from these problems. Therefore, how long can a person live on dialysis becomes a hot topic among kidney failure patients. Actually, how long can a person live on dialysis depends on many factors. In clinic, life span of dialysis patients varies greatly from case to case. And it may range from several days to decades.

what is offset in electronics
|
<P> However, the input offset voltage value may drift with temperature or age. Chopper amplifiers actively measure and compensate for the input offset voltage, and may be used when very low offset voltages are required. Input bias current and input offset current also affect the net offset voltage seen for a given amplifier. <P> Input offset voltage is the equivalent voltage at the input of an operational amplifier. If an amplifier has a voltage gain of ten and an input offset voltage of 10 microvolts, a level of 100 microvolts will appear at the output with no input. <P> For circuits that accuracy and/or symmetry is critical, the offset null pins provide a means to cancel internal discrepancies. The best example I can give you is the old ohmmeter. You would short the leads and adjust the needle to read zero, then you knew your resistance readings would be as accurate as possible. By adjusting the pot we can null any offset error. An offset error is when the inputs are exactly equal but the output isn't exactly zero. This error is also characterized by the datasheet: It can be safely ignored in AC applications, where this offset will be ignored by the AC coupling. <P> Manufacturers try to design an op amp so the input offset voltage is as small as possible to minimize this error voltage at the output of the amplifier, especially for applications where small voltages are being amplified. If an amplifier has a voltage gain of ten and an input offset voltage of 10 microvolts, a level of 100 microvolts will appear at the output with no input. <P> Answer by N4rb. Confidence votes 362. Input offset voltage is the equivalent voltage at the input of an operational amplifier. If an amplifier has a voltage gain of ten and an input offset voltage of 10 microvolts, a level of 100 microvolts will appear at the output with no input. <P> For circuits where it is necessary to remove or null the offset, many op-amp chips provide two pins that enable this to be done. Using the offset null adjustment requires a potentiometer with its wiper connected to the negative supply with some op amps or to 0 V with others so it is necessary to check the data sheet. Using an offset null capability it is possible to reduce the level of the offset voltage significantly. To incorporate an offset null capability within the op amp, a number of different actual circuits can be adopted. <P> However, due to manufacturing process, the differential input transistors of real op-amps may not be exactly matched. This causes the output to be zero at a non-zero value of differential input, called the input offset voltage. Typical values for are around 1 to 10mV for cheap commercial-grade op-amp integrated circuits (IC). Chopper amplifiers actively measure and compensate for the input offset voltage, and may be used when very low offset voltages are required. Input bias current and input offset current also affect the net offset voltage seen for a given amplifier. <P> The offset null capability for op amps is often used in instrumentation applications. For example where the small DC voltages produced by thermocouples or other sensors need to be amplified. Using an offset null capability it is possible to reduce the level of the offset voltage significantly. To incorporate an offset null capability within the op amp, a number of different actual circuits can be adopted. <P> The voltage offset due to these currents are separate from the input offset voltage parameter and is related to the impedance of the signal source and of the feedback and input impedance networks such as the two resistors used in the basic inverting and non-inverting amplifier configurations. Chopper amplifiers actively measure and compensate for the input offset voltage, and may be used when very low offset voltages are required. Input bias current and input offset current also affect the net offset voltage seen for a given amplifier. <P> Op Amp Offset Null Terminals. Op amps have terminals which are called Offset Null Terminals. Before we get into exactly what the offset null terminals are, we need to explain some basics so you'll understand exactly what these terminals are for. First to begin with, an op amp is a differential amplifier. This means it amplifies the difference in voltage between the two input pins. This is why op amps have offset null terminals. To make the voltages exactly equal, you apply the same voltage to both pins and place a potentiometer to one of the pins and change the resistance until the output is 0V.

how to hard boil eggs without cracking them
|
<P> Fill the pot gently with at least one inch (3 cm) of water. Pour the water against the side of the pan so that it does not disturb the eggs. If you cannot avoid pouring the water onto the eggs, steady them with your hand so that they do not slide around and crack. 1 Add half a teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring the water to a gentle boil using a medium heat. Let the water boil slowly so that the eggs do not crack from a rapid temperature shift. Cover the pot with a lid. The water will boil a bit more quickly with the lid on, but feel free to leave it off if you want to keep an eye on the eggs. <P> Find a pan large enough to hold all of the eggs you want to boil in a single layer. I then cover that layer of eggs with cold water. The operative word is cold water, not hot from the tap but cold from the tap. Bring that pan of water to a rolling boil for one minute. I then remove the pan from the heat and wait. You want to wait until the water has cooled enough for you to handle the eggs. That usually is 20-30 minutes depending upon your threshold of pain. <P> Best Answer: First, put them in the pan gently then cover with water, to just about an inch above the eggs. Put them on the stove, put the lid on the pot, turn the heat to high. When steam starts coming from the pot, turn off the heat and set the timer for 14 minutes. What I do is fill a pan with warm water and place in the eggs along with 1-2tb of salt. Do not put the eggs in when the water is boiling. Turn on high. Once it comes to a boil, time it for 10 minutes for a hard boiled egg. Rinse and let sit in cold water. <P> L.A. Times Test Kitchen and Food Editor Russ Parsons’ tip is simple. Place the eggs in a pan just big enough to hold them in a single layer, Parsons said. Cover them with cold water and bring them to a rolling boil. Cook for one minute, then remove them from the heat. When the water has cooled enough that you can put your hand in (about 20 minutes), the eggs will be perfectly cooked.. Here’s why this method works: Cold water and placing the eggs in a single layer helps prevent cracking. Tips and tricks on how to boil the perfect Easter eggs without cracking them in 2014. Flickr <P> If you need easy-to-peel eggs and you have fresh eggs, you might want to try steaming the eggs for 15 minutes. Pour an inch of water into a pot and insert a steamer basket.Bring to a boil. Place the eggs in the steamer basket, cover and steam for 15 minutes (more or less, check!). Heat the pot on high heat and bring the water to a full rolling boil. Adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the water may help keep egg whites from running out if an egg does crack while cooking. Also some people find adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water helps prevent cracking as well as making the eggs easier to peel. <P> Put eggs into a pan of cold water and bring the eggs to a boil. Cover the pan with a lid and remove the pan from the heat. Let the pan stand for 25 minutes. Rinse the eggs under cold water. <P> Here is the way I cook my own perfect hard boiled eggs…. 1 Using a heavy bottomed saucepan, cover the eggs with cold water by at least an inch of water. 2 Bring the water to a boil uncovered. 3 Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat and cover it. 4 Let the pot sit for about 15 minutes. <P> 2. Turn off the heat, keep the pan on the hot burner, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. If you have the type of stove burner that doesn't retain any heat when turned off, you might want to lower the temp to low, simmer for a minute, and then turn it off. Heat the pot on high heat and bring the water to a full rolling boil. Adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the water may help keep egg whites from running out if an egg does crack while cooking. Also some people find adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water helps prevent cracking as well as making the eggs easier to peel. <P> How to hard boil eggs without cracking them to later color for Easter eggs is the simplest of your Easter Recipes. The eggs should be thoroughly hard boiled if you intend to later conduct an Easter egg hunt with the hard boiled eggs that your family dyed for Easter.1. <P> PLACE eggs in saucepan large enough to hold them in single layer. ADD cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch. HEAT over high heat just to boiling. REMOVE from burner. COVER pan. LET EGGS STAND in hot water about 12 minutes for large eggs (9 minutes for medium eggs; 15 minutes for extra large).

close to me lyrics meaning
|
<P> click a star to vote. omfg, the song is about gay sex with your friend. Ive been waiting hours for this, i made my self so sick i wish i stayed asleep today and also i never thought you'de be this close to me... and also he's in a closet. It was made when gays where extremely frowned upon. In the end he drowns in the video. This song is an abstract reference to the fear that life will one day end. The day he sings about is a reference to a lifetime. Tonight is the end of this day. He condenses a lifetime into a single day. It is child like in that a child also fears the coming darkness of night as a form of death. <P> I just wanna be close to you. And show you the way I feel. I just wanna be close to you. And do all the things you want me to. I just wanna be close to you. And show you the way I feel. Songwriters. CARROLL, DINA / LOWIS, NIGEL. Published by. Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group, DOWNTOWN MUSIC PUBLISHING LLC. When I'm lying in the midnight hour. Holding you just like a dream. Love is never what it seems. When we touch. And you're holdin' me the way you do. Girl, you make my dreams come true. You make my dreams come true <P> In 1985, Sting worked with Dire Straits on Money For Nothing , which has a chorus that sounds very similar to this (compare the lines Don't stand so close to me with I want my MTV). Sting did not want a songwriting credit, but his record company thought he should get one so they could receive royalties. <P> Don't Stand So Close to Me is a 1980 song and hit single by the British rock band The Police. It concerns a schoolgirl's crush on her young teacher which leads to an affair, which in turn is discovered. The Police won the 1982 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for this song. Let's exploit that. in a 2001 interview for the concert DVD ...All This Time, Sting denied that the song is autobiographical. Don't Stand So Close to Me appeared on The Police's album Zenyatta Mondatta (A&M), and became a hit No. 1 UK single along with a corresponding music video. <P> My older sister always called this song Glenn Music because I think it reminded her of my mood(s) which tend to change often. Great song simple lyrics and too the point. Glenn-Edwardsville, Il. To me, this song is beautiful because it professes a type of love for someone that sets you straight and calms you down. Robert Smith (from Q Magazine's 1001 Best Songs Ever): It's weird because of all the songs we've written, Close To Me doesn't spring to mind as one of our best songs. It was a slightly surreal moment on the record and it wasn't even a definite album track during the recording <P> All these things I do to keep you close to me. And every day's another day from what we used to be. I don't know what I've been thinking. 'Cause this is much like hell. It's days like this, I must insist. I'm not doing so well. Oh no, get lost in you. Like you know, I often do. <P> This song describes a type of love for someone that turns your world upside down but now that you have actually found it you are calm and you feel complete. The lyrics build up to something this person can't wait any longer for, this something can mean many different things to whoever the listener is.

what is preposition words
|
<P> PREPOSITIONS. Prepositions are words which begin prepositional phrases. A prepositional phrase is a group of words containing a preposition, a noun or pronoun object of the preposition, and any modifiers of the object. A preposition sits in front of (is pre-positioned before) its object. The following words are the most commonly used prepositions: about. below. <P> Prepositions. A preposition is a word such as after, in, to, on, and with. Prepositions are usually used in front of nouns or pronouns and they show the relationship between the noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. They describe, for example: <P> A preposition is a word which precedes a noun (or a pronoun) to show the noun's (or the pronoun's) relationship to another word in the sentence. (The word preposition comes from the idea of being positioned before. <P> A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition plus a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition). Object of the preposition is just a fancy name for the noun or pronoun that that follows the preposition. In our apple example above, apple is the object of all of the prepositions.

what is mps disease
|
<P> Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and related diseases are genetic lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) caused by the body’s inability to produce specific enzymes. Normally, the body uses enzymes to break down and recycle materials in cells. Since 1975 the Society has supported individuals and families affected with MPS and related diseases. We are governed by a member-elected volunteer Board of Directors, many of whom are parents of children <P> MPS II, Hunter syndrome or iduronate sulfatase deficiency, is caused by lack of the enzyme iduronate sulfatase. Hunter syndrome has two clinical subtypes and (since it shows X-linked recessive inheritance) is the only one of the mucopolysaccharidoses in which the mother alone can pass the defective gene to a son. Although no studies have been done to determine the frequency of MPS I in the United States, studies in British Columbia estimate that 1 in 100,000 babies born has Hurler syndrome. The estimate for Scheie syndrome is one in 500,000 births and for Hurler-Scheie syndrome it is one in 115,000 births. <P> Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI), also known as Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, is a progressive condition that causes many tissues and organs to enlarge and become inflamed or scarred. Skeletal abnormalities are also common in this condition. The rate at which symptoms worsen varies among affected individuals. <P> MPS and related diseases are hereditary. In nearly all cases a child receives a recessive gene from each parent. MPS II is the only exception where the gene may be passed from a mother to her male children. A couple’s chance of having another child with one of these diseases is 1 in 4 with each pregnancy. Since 1975 the Society has supported individuals and families affected with MPS and related diseases. We are governed by a member-elected volunteer Board of Directors, many of whom are parents of children <P> Hunter syndrome, also called mucopolysaccharidosis II or MPS II, is a rare disease that's passed on in families. It usually affects only boys. Their bodies can't break down a kind of sugar that builds bones, skin, tendons, and other tissue. <P> Although there is currently no cure for MPS or related diseases, research is making great strides. Carrier detection, the development of replacement enzymes, and the possibility of gene therapy, are among today’s research themes and treatment options. Since 1975 the Society has supported individuals and families affected with MPS and related diseases. We are governed by a member-elected volunteer Board of Directors, many of whom are parents of children <P> Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a condition that affects many parts of the body. This disorder was once divided into three separate syndromes: Hurler syndrome (MPS I-H), Hurler-Scheie syndrome (MPS I-H/S), and Scheie syndrome (MPS I-S), listed from most to least severe. <P> Hunter syndrome has a different form of inheritance from the other MPS diseases as it is sex-linked like haemophilia. Girls may be carriers of the disease but, except in very rare cases, only males will be sufferers. Hunter adults have been known to marry. Their children are unaffected. The MPS diseases are part of a larger group of disorders known as Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs). The combined incidence of LSDs in the population is 1 in 5,000 live births. <P> Sanfilippo syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis III (MPS-III) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease. It is caused by a deficiency in one of the enzymes needed to break down the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate (which is found in the extra-cellular matrix and on cell surface glycoproteins). <P> The MPS Diseases. The Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are rare genetic disorders in children and adults. They involve an abnormal storage of mucopolysaccharides, caused by the absence of a specific enzyme. Without the enzyme, the breakdown process of mucopolysaccharides is incomplete. The MPS diseases are part of a larger group of disorders known as Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs). The combined incidence of LSDs in the population is 1 in 5,000 live births.

how important is your credit score
|
<P> Your credit score is a very important number that you should always be aware of. It’s a measure of your financial responsibility–the higher your score, the more willing lenders and creditors will be to lend you money. One of the best things you can do before applying for a loan is to check your credit report and score. <P> Your credit score is very important but it is only one factor in a mortgage application. Lenders also consider your income, employment history, your current monthly debts, the size of the loan and your down payment. If your credit score isn't where you want it to be, you can improve it over time. <P> So, yes, your credit score is important, much like saving for retirement or creating a spending plan. Still, if your credit scores have been damaged as a result of the economic downturn of the past few years, don’t beat yourself up. Over time, financial wounds can heal and the scars on your credit will disappear. <P> A credit score is a three-digit number that measures how likely you are to repay a loan on time. It uses information from your credit report to predict the risk of you not paying that loan back 24 months after scoring. A credit report is an explanation of your credit history. <P> Credit Reports and Credit Scores Your credit history is important to a lot of people: mortgage lenders, banks, utility compa-nies, prospective employers, and more. So it’s especially important that you understand your credit report, credit score, and the companies that compile that information, credit bureaus. This brochure provides answers to some of the most common, and most important, ques-tions about credit. <P> Using that calculator today, for example, the average monthly payment on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage of $250,000 is $1,077 for someone with a FICO credit score above 760. For someone with a credit score of 680-699, however, the payment is $1,133. <P> So, yes, your credit score is important, much like saving for retirement or creating a spending plan. Still, if your credit scores have been damaged as a result of the economic downturn of the past few years, don’t beat yourself up. <P> The Equifax® Credit Score is based on an Equifax Credit Score model and is not the same as scores used by 3rd parties to assess your creditworthiness. 1.

<P> Languages. A Finn’s mother tongue is either Finnish, Swedish (5.6% of the population are Swedish speakers) or Saami (some 8,000 native speakers). Finnish belongs to the small Finno-Ugrian language group; outside Finland it is understood (and to some extent spoken) in Estonia. <P> Finnish (suomi (help·info) , or suomen kieli) is the language spoken by the majority of the population in Finland and by ethnic Finns outside Finland.

For example, telephone is puhelin and university is yliopisto in Finnish. This approach was especially used in the 19th century when Finnish was consciously developed from the status of a language spoken by common people into a written, official (since 1863) and cultural language. <P> Location: Spoken in Sweden and in Finland (mainly coastal region). There is also a small minority of speakers in North Western Estonia. Number of Speakers: 10.5 million worldwide. 9.2 million inhabitants speak it as mother tongue (no official language registration). In Finland there are around 291,219 speakers, which is 5.4% of the population and they register themselves as Swedish-speaking (date from 31.12.2011). <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Swedish is the official language of Sweden and is spoken by the vast majority of the nine million inhabitants of the country. It is a North Germanic language and quite similar to its sister Scandinavian languages, Danish and Norwegian. Finnish was the majority language of Sweden's eastern parts, though it was used almost exclusively as a spoken language. These areas were also home of a significant Swedish-speaking minority. Finnish became a minority language in the west as well since many Finnish speakers migrated there (mostly for economic reasons). <P> Finnish is spoken by about five million people, most of whom reside in Finland. There are also notable Finnish-speaking minorities in Sweden, Norway, Russia, Estonia, Brazil, Canada, and the United States.

what is a telomere quizlet
|
<P> Because these somatic cells do not regularly use telomerase, they age. The result of aging cells is an aging body. If telomerase is activated in a cell, the cell will continue to grow and divide. This immortal cell theory is important in two areas of research: aging and cancer. Cellular aging, or senescence, is the process by which a cell becomes old and dies. It is due to the shortening of chromosomal telomeres to the point that the chromosome reaches a critical length. Cellular aging is analogous to a wind up clock. If the clock stays wound, a cell becomes immortal and constantly produces new cells. If the clock winds down, the cell stops producing new cells and dies. <P> 1 However, because the ends are protected by telomeres, the only part of the chromosome that is lost, is the telomere, and the DNA is left undamaged. 2 Without telomeres, important DNA would be lost every time a cell divides (usually about 50 to 70 times). 1 Telomerase is an enzyme that adds the TTAGGG telomere sequence to the ends of chromosomes. 2 Telomerase is only found in very low concentrations in our somatic cells. 3 Because these cells do not regularly use telomerase they age leading to a reduction in normal function. 4 The result of ageing cells, is an ageing body <P> Telomerase is a large multisubunit RNP. Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase that adds telomere repeats to chromosome ends. The minimal catalytic core is composed of TERT, the telomerase reverse transcriptase, and TERC, the telomerase RNA, which acts as the template for telomere addition. Telomeres protect chromosome ends. Telomeres are TTAGGG double-stranded DNA repeats culminating in a single-stranded overhang. The shelterin protein complex protects telomeres, facilitates replication and controls access of telomerase. <P> Noun. 1. telomerase-an enzyme in eukaryotic cells that can add telomeres to the ends of chromosomes after they divide. enzyme-any of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions. <P> They consist of the same short DNA sequence repeated over and over again. 1 Telomeres are sections of DNA found at the ends of each of our chromosomes. 2 They consist of the same sequence of bases repeated over and over. 3 In humans the telomere sequence is TTAGGG. 1 Telomerase is an enzyme that adds the TTAGGG telomere sequence to the ends of chromosomes. 2 Telomerase is only found in very low concentrations in our somatic cells. 3 Because these cells do not regularly use telomerase they age leading to a reduction in normal function. 4 The result of ageing cells, is an ageing body <P> Telomeres are caps at the ends of chromosomes that protect your genes from being eroded each time a cell divides. Specifically they are repeating bases and proteins at the tips of chromosomes. As the length of a cell increases, its volume increases faster than its surface area. The resulting decrease in the cell's ratio of surface area to volume makes it more difficult for the cell to move needed materials in and waste products out. <P> Telomeres are the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes, like the plastic tips at the end of shoelaces. Without the coating, shoelaces become frayed until they can no longer do their job, just as without telomeres, DNA strands become damaged and our cells can’t do their job. Telomeres protect the vital information in our DNA. DNA makes up all of the cells in our body. It is the genetic material that makes us who we are. And every organ in our body (skin, liver, heart, etc.) is made up of cells. So, telomeres are vital to our health. Our cells replenish by copying themselves. <P> 1 Every time a cell carries out DNA replication the chromosomes are shortened by about 25-200 bases (A, C, G, or T) per replication. 2 However, because the ends are protected by telomeres, the only part of the chromosome that is lost, is the telomere, and the DNA is left undamaged. 1 Telomerase is an enzyme that adds the TTAGGG telomere sequence to the ends of chromosomes. 2 Telomerase is only found in very low concentrations in our somatic cells. 3 Because these cells do not regularly use telomerase they age leading to a reduction in normal function. 4 The result of ageing cells, is an ageing body <P> Telomerase replaces short bits of DNA known as telomeres, which are otherwise shortened when a cell divides via mitosis. In normal circumstances, absent telomerase, if a cell divides recursively, at some point the progeny reach their Hayflick limit, which is believed to be between 50–70 cell divisions. Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase enzyme that carries its own RNA molecule (with the pattern of C C C A A U C C C in vertebrates), which is used as a template when it elongates telomeres.

what makes up carbon dioxide
|
<P> Save. Carbon dioxide, or CO2, is a very important molecule. It exists in the atmosphere at low concentrations -- around 590 parts per million by mass. Plants and photosynthetic organisms absorb it and transform it into organic carbon, upon which all other organisms depend <P> [See Periodic Table of the Elements ]. Carbon occurs naturally as carbon-12, which makes up almost 99 percent of the carbon in the universe; carbon-13, which makes up about 1 percent; and carbon-14, which makes up a minuscule amount of overall carbon but is very important in dating organic objects. Just the facts. <P> A molecule of the compound carbon dioxide contains one atom of the element carbon and two atoms of the element oxygen. Each oxygen atom shares a double bond with the carbon atom. Carbon is the sixth element in the periodic table and occurs in pure form as coal and diamonds. Oxygen, element eight, is a gas that makes up about 21 percent of the atmosphere. Living things take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The oxygen helps turn food into energy, creating carbon dioxide as a byproduct <P> Structure of Carbon Dioxide. Carbon dioxide is made up of a carbon atom covalently bonded to two oxygen atoms. The oxygens are double bonded to the carbon atom, and they are arranged linearly, meaning that the angle between the two bonds is 180 degrees. Carbon dioxide, or CO2, is a very important molecule. It exists in the atmosphere at low concentrations -- around 590 parts per million by mass. Plants and photosynthetic organisms absorb it and transform it into organic carbon, upon which all other organisms depend <P> Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a colorless, odorless gas vital to life on Earth. This naturally occurring chemical compound is composed of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. Carbon dioxide is produced during the processes of decay of organic materials and the fermentation of sugars in bread, beer and winemaking. It is produced by combustion of wood, carbohydrates and fossil fuels such as coal, peat, petroleum and natural gas. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: The chemical formula is CO2 which means that there is one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. The word dioxide means tow oxygens (di means two) and if there is no prefix, then it means one. So carbon dioxide is one carbon tow oxygen. <P> A carbon dioxide is also important to plants as this is used in the photosynthesis process. In fact this gas is involved in a cycle. Plants inhale the carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen; animals on the other hand inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This gas is also helpful as well in carbonating cola drinks. <P> 1 Carbon dioxide (a carbon atom plus two oxygen atoms) makes up about 0.04 percent of Earth's atmosphere, according to the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) — an increase over pre-industrial times, because of the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon occurs naturally as carbon-12, which makes up almost 99 percent of the carbon in the universe; carbon-13, which makes up about 1 percent; and carbon-14, which makes up a minuscule amount of overall carbon but is very important in dating organic objects. Just the facts. <P> Carbon dioxide is a tasteless, odorless gas that makes up less than 1 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere. It’s a natural product of respiration, and plants use it to make food. Too much carbon dioxide is dangerous. Carbon is the sixth element in the periodic table and occurs in pure form as coal and diamonds. Oxygen, element eight, is a gas that makes up about 21 percent of the atmosphere. Living things take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

<P> 3. Measure the distance from the top of the range to the bottom of the cabinets or the ceiling above the range. Install hood vents at least 18 inches above an electric range and 20 inches above a gas range. Choose a hood vent with a height that will not place it lower than recommended. 1. Measure the width of your range with a tape measure. Ideally, a hood vent is as wide or wider than your range. Hood vents are generally 30, 36 or 42 inches wide. <P> The minimum distance recommended between the stove top and the range hood is 18” – 20” and the maximum distance recommended is 30”. If you decide to place the range hood farther away from the stove top than 30”, it will not work as well. Note the measurement from your stove top to the bottom of the closest cabinet or to the ceiling. A bigger range hood is always better if it can fit in your space. Also note that 24” range hoods are designed to fit into a 24” space (they are not manufactured to be exactly 24” wide). <P> Re: Microwave/range hood distance to range top. SECTION M1901.

Having installed many of them according to the book for Sears .I recall it as 18 inches from bottom of micro hood to stove top. <P> We only have 23 inches(23-1/2 at most) and the specs for many range hoods require a minimum height which is more than this. For eg, Kobe hoods requires the min height from the stove top to the bottom of the hood to be 27 and the max height to be 30. Our gas range expects the min height to be 24. Is it acceptable to have +/- an inch or so if the range hood also say expects a min ht of 24? <P> There isn't really a standard size for a stove and refrigerator. Sizes of most stoves that you can find at your basic appliance store range from: 35 to 36 tall, 19 to … 40 wide, and 24 to 26 deep. For refrigerators: 55 to 69 tall, 24 to 36 wide, and 26 to 33 deep. What does the distance have to be between the stove top and the stove hood? 40 - 42 inches. Less than 40 inches you could bang your head on it, if you're tall. More than 42 inches it'll be less effective. Range tops are usually set at 34 - 36 inches s … o overall height to the hood is 6' 2 to 6' 6 <P> Determining Range Hood Coverage. At a minimum, the range hood width should extend to the width of the cooktop, and cover 100% of the back burners and 50% of the front burners. Range hoods can be wider and deeper, and in some places it is code to have the width of the hood extend 6 greater than the cooking surface. <P> Each hood has its own recommended installation height range, anywhere from 18 to 30 inches above the cooktop. Installing the hood at the lower end of the range increases its effectiveness, but can also limit working space for tall pots, and it may look awkward at eye level, or be low enough to bump your head. The best height for your range hood depends on more than one factor. The closer the range hood is to the cooktop, the more effectively it can remove grease and smoke from your kitchen. But if it is too close, it poses a fire hazard, since grease trapped in the filter is highly flammable <P> Deborah Butler, Brickwood Builders. The specifications/installation instructions for the range generally will indicate what the manufacturer thinks is the best distance from the range to the bottom of the range hood. 24 would generally be considered too low over a gas range.

What is the difference between an infection and a disease
|
<P> Understanding infection vs. disease. There's a difference between infection and disease. Infection, often the first step, occurs when bacteria, viruses or other microbes that cause disease enter your body and begin to multiply. <P> An infectious disease is a clinically evident disease resulting from the presence of pathogenic microbial agents, including pathogenic viruses, pathogenic bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular parasites, and aberrant proteins known as prions. These pathogens are able to cause disease in animals and/or plants. Best Answer: infections are bacterial and a disease can be viral, neurological and physically disabling, while an infection can be cured with antibiotics with the exception or MRSA or the Super Bug. Source(s): tampico · 8 years ago. Thumbs up. <P> Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by a germ called Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is spread from person to person through the air. TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, the kidneys, or the spine. <P> Both can be the result of bad hygiene and intercourse. Actually, the difference between them is that one is caused by Candida which is a yeast that lives in the body, usually in the background and then overgrows to cause yeast infections such as thrush, whilst bladder infections are caused by bacteria. A virus causes an infection. It is the actual file that causes the infection. An infection itself is the action or state of the computer's security being compromised by … a virus or other malware. 12 people found this useful. <P> Infection vs Disease. Infection and Disease are two words that are often confused as one and the same. In fact these two medical terms are different in their meanings. Infection is understood in the sense of contamination. Contaminating air or water with harmful organisms is said to cause infection. Infection affects a person with disease. On the other hand disease is the end result of an infection. This is the main difference between infection and disease. In short it can be said that infection leads to disease. A person gets a disease if he or she carries an infection. <P> This information sheet discusses tuberculosis (TB) and the difference between the two TB-related conditions: latent TB infection (LTBI) and TB disease. It explains what is meant by LTBI, and, that although persons with LTBI cannot spread the disease, if left untreated, they can develop active TB in the future. <P> Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by a germ called Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is spread from person to person through the air. TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, the kidneys, or the spine. They are infected with M. tuberculosis, but do not have TB disease. The only sign of TB infection is a positive reaction to the tuberculin skin test or TB blood test. Persons with latent TB infection are not infectious and cannot spread TB infection to others. <P> As you might think, bacterial infections are caused by bacteria, and viral infections are caused by viruses. Perhaps the most important distinction between bacteria and viruses is that antibiotic drugs usually kill bacteria, but they aren't effective against viruses.

what is contract formulation
|
<P> As a pharmaceutical contracting organization, PERC continues to provide high quality research, analysis, formulation development, deformulation, small-scale production, and CGMP stability study services at competitive prices to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and other academic institutions.. <P> Generally, a non-breaching party to an installment contract may cancel the contract only when a breach or cumulative breaches substantially impair the value of the entire contract. The NCCUSL and the ALI began work in the late 1980s on a revision to Article 2 of the UCC. A sales contract that is Unconscionable may be struck down in whole or in part by a court. A sale is unconscionable if a person in a superior bargaining position dictates terms that are grossly unfair to the other party. <P> A contract for the sale of goods can be made in any manner that shows agreement between the buyer and seller. A contract may be made orally or in writing or through any other conduct by both parties that acknowledges the existence of a contract. A sales contract that is Unconscionable may be struck down in whole or in part by a court. A sale is unconscionable if a person in a superior bargaining position dictates terms that are grossly unfair to the other party. <P> Best Formulations, a diversified nutraceutical and pharmaceutical company headquartered in City of Industry, California, is a contract manufacturer and private labeler of thousands of branded, high quality nutritional supplements including softgels, tablets, capsules, powders, teas, and drugs. <P> A smaller company might not have internal formulation development capabilities. It is cheaper to contract out than to build up the internal capability, which takes expertise and a significant capital investment in manufacturing equipment, even though the work is done in an experimental environment. PS: Contract formulation development companies are constantly expanding capabilities and attracting top talent. The goal is never just to bring a client in-house once, but to bring a client in and keep them long-term. <P> To form a contract, one of the parties must make an offer, the other party must accept the offer, and consideration, or something of value, must be exchanged. An offer may be revoked without any loss to the offeror if the revocation is made before the other party accepts the offer and gives consideration. A sales contract that is Unconscionable may be struck down in whole or in part by a court. A sale is unconscionable if a person in a superior bargaining position dictates terms that are grossly unfair to the other party. <P> Formulation. Formulation is a term used in various senses in various applications, both the material and the abstract or formal. Its fundamental meaning is the putting together of components in appropriate relationships or structures, according to a formula. <P> In some cases the buyer and seller may agree in the sales contract to Liquidated Damages. Generally, a liquidated damages clause is placed into a sales contract to fix damages at a certain amount in case a party is unable to perform. A sales contract that is Unconscionable may be struck down in whole or in part by a court. A sale is unconscionable if a person in a superior bargaining position dictates terms that are grossly unfair to the other party. <P> Any agreement that is enforceable in court is a contract. Because a contract is a voluntary obligation, in contrast to paying compensation for a tort and restitution to reverse unjust enrichment, English law places a high value on ensuring people have truly consented to the deals that bind them in court. Remedies are often agreed in a contract, so that if one side fails to perform the contract will dictate what happens. A simple, common and automatic remedy is to have taken a deposit, and to retain it in the event of non-performance.

why are diamondback terrapins endangered
|
<P> Your support will help us fight to protect diamondback terrapins and other threatened and endangered wildlife. A symbolic adoption helps save real animals in the wild. Length: 7.5 inches (females); 5 inches (males). Weight: 1.5 lbs (females); 0.5 lbs (males). Lifespan: 25-40 years. The diamondback terrapin is light brown, gray or black on top with a bottom shell that ranges from yellow to olive in color. <P> Diamondback Terrapin. Joel Sartore. With elaborate shell patterns, spotted skin and a mouth that curves upward in an ever-present smile, the diamondback terrapin is the charismatic state reptile of Maryland and can be found in the saltwater marshes of the eastern and southern United States. <P> The diamondback terrapin has large webbed feet. The species is sexually dimorphic in that the males grow to approximately 13 cm (5.1 in), while the females grow to an average of around 19 cm (7.5 in), though they are capable of growing larger. The largest female on record was just over 23 cm (9.1 in) in length. Adult diamondback terrapins mate in the early spring, and clutches of 4-22 eggs are laid in sand dunes in the early summer. They hatch in late summer or early fall. <P> The diamondback terrapin is found along the Atlantic Coast of the eastern United States from Cape Cod to the Florida Keys and west along the Gulf Coast to Texas. The diamondback terrapin is believed to be the only turtle in the world that lives exclusively in brackish water (containing some salt, but not as much as ocean water), habitats like tidal marshes, estuaries and lagoons. Most terrapins hibernate during the winter by burrowing into the mud of marshes. <P> Our terrapins suffer from a serious loss of habitat. New Jersey has experienced explosive development of its wetlands. When wetlands are filled and covered for the construction of buildings, the terrapins lose their homes. Our community of Somers Point provides a good example of the rapid growth and development in our region. We are losing open space rapidly <P> Diamondback terrapin populations have declined considerably in many parts of their geographic range and are listed as endangered, threatened or species of special concern in some states. Their skin color is a pale to dark gray or black, flecked with dark spots, blotches or stripes. The hingeless plastron (bottom shell) is yellow to green or black and may be marked with dark blotches. No two individual diamondback terrapins are exactly alike in coloration and pattern. <P> Distribution and Habitat. Northern diamondback terrapins exclusively inhabit coastal salt marshes, estuaries, tidal creeks and ditches with brackish water (a mix of both salt and freshwater) which is bordered by spartina grass. <P> Diamondback terrapins live in the very narrow strip of coastal habitats on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States, from as far north as Cape Cod, Massachusetts to the southern tip of Florida and around the Gulf Coast to Texas. Adult diamondback terrapins mate in the early spring, and clutches of 4-22 eggs are laid in sand dunes in the early summer. They hatch in late summer or early fall. <P> Diamondback Terrapin. Diamondback terrapins are turtles with concentric, diamond-shaped markings and grooves on the scutes (plates) of their carapaces (top shells), which range from medium gray or brown to nearly black. Their skin color is a pale to dark gray or black, flecked with dark spots, blotches or stripes. The hingeless plastron (bottom shell) is yellow to green or black and may be marked with dark blotches. No two individual diamondback terrapins are exactly alike in coloration and pattern. <P> Conserving terrapins on southern Barnegat Bay and Great Bay through species management, education, and awareness. Northern Diamondback Terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin terrapin) are native to New Jersey and inhabit the many miles of coastal salt marshes and estuaries along the Atlantic Coast and Delaware Bay. They live exclusively in brackish water (a mixture of both salt and fresh water).

what primary plant tissue is involved in transport of minerals
|
<P> Plants have two different types of 'transport' tissue. Xylem transports water and solutes from the roots to the leaves, phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Plant transport. No heart, no blood and no circulation, but plants do need a transport system to move food, water and minerals around. They use two different systems – xylem moves water and solutes from the roots to the leaves – phloem moves food substances from <P> Plants have two systems for the transportation of substances-using two different types of transport tissue. Xylem transports water and solutes from the roots to the leaves, while phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the leaves, which results in more water being drawn up from the roots. <P> Xylem, and phloem are the two types of tissue that make up the vascular tissue system. Xylem: Xylem acts as a conduit is responsible for moving water and minerals from theroots up the stem to the shoot system where these substances are used forphotosynthesis. <P> Seed plants contain 2 types of vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) to help transport water, minerals, & food throughout the root & shoot systems. Plant cells have several specialized structures including a central vacuole for storage, plastids for storage of pigments, and a thick cell wall of cellulose. Plants have 3 tissue systems --- ground, dermal, and vascular tissues. Plant tissues make up the main organs of a plant --- root, stem, leaf, & flower. <P> Xylem. Xylem vessels are involved in the movement of water through a plant-from its roots to its leaves via the stem. During this process: Water is absorbed from the soil through root hair cells. Xylem transports water and solutes from the roots to the leaves, while phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the leaves, which results in more water being drawn up from the roots. <P> In the centre of the root, is the beginning of the transport system of the plant, which is made of two main transport tissues, the xylem tissue and the phloem tissue. The diagram below shows a transverse section through a root. Just like humans, plants have a transport system of vessels and cells that transports water, minerals and other nutrients around the plant. <P> The vascular tissue system is important in transport. The vascular tissue system is composed of the xylem (transport of water and dissolved minerals) and phloem (transport of food-usually sucrose and other sugars-, nitrogen containing compounds, and hormones). The xylem and phloem in the primary plant body are usually closely associated in the form of vascular bundles. Epidermis: The epidermis consists of a single layer of cells that covers the majority of young plants. The epidermis is present throughout the life of plants that exhibit only primary growth. Primary growth refers to cells and tissues that originate from the apical meristems. <P> Plant tissues are categorized broadly into three tissue systems: the epidermis, the ground tissue, and the vascular tissue. 1 Epidermis-Cells forming the outer surface of the leaves and of the young plant body. 2 Vascular tissue-The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. 1 Vascular tissue-The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. 2 These transport fluid and nutrients internally. 3 Ground tissue-Ground tissue is less differentiated than other tissues. 4 Ground tissue manufactures nutrients by photosynthesis and stores reserve nutrients. <P> Meristems: There are 3 main types of meristematic tissue in vascular seed plants ---- apical, intercalary, & lateral meristems. Apical Meristem occur at the tips of roots and shoots and are responsible for the length-wise extension of the plant body known as primary growth. Plants have 3 tissue systems --- ground, dermal, and vascular tissues. Plant tissues make up the main organs of a plant --- root, stem, leaf, & flower.

where is progesterone secreted
|
<P> A Dr. Elena Yanushpolsky, MD, OBGYN (Obstetrics & Gynecology), answered on behalf of Brigham and Women's Hospital. Progesterone is a hormone that is secreted by the ovary after ovulation. During the first two weeks of the menstrual cycle, the growing egg is surrounded by granulosa cell. During that time, up until ovulation, granulose cells mainly secrete the hormone estrogen. Once ovulation takes place and the egg is released from the ovary, granulosa cells change their secretion pattern and begin to secrete progesterone in addition to estrogen. <P> Steroids are common in both plants and animals...... Click the link for more information. , progesterone is secreted chiefly by the corpus luteum, a group of cells formed in the ovary ovary,ductless gland of the female in which the ova (female reproductive cells) are produced. <P> Guide. A progesterone test measures the amount of the hormone progesterone in a blood sample. Progesterone is a female hormone produced by the ovaries during release of a mature egg from an ovary (ovulation). Progesterone helps prepare the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to receive the egg if it becomes fertilized by a sperm. <P> Estrogen and Progesterone. Estrogen is produced by the ovarian follicle (ovary), and estrogen levels rise through the early part of the menstrual cycle. Progesterone begins to be produced upon ovulation, and levels elevate through the remainder of the cycle until dropping just prior to the menstrual flow. <P> As the egg migrates down the fallopian tube, progesterone is released. It is secreted by a temporary gland formed within the ovary after ovulation called the corpus luteum. Progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy by causing the uterine lining to thicken. If a woman is not pregnant, the corpus luteum disappears. If a woman is pregnant, the pregnancy will trigger high levels of estrogen and progesterone, which prevent further eggs from maturing. Progesterone is secreted to prevent uterine contractions that may disturb the growing embryo. <P> Progesterone is also responsible for maintaining a pregnancy. Progesterone is secreted from the ovary after ovulation by a mass called a “corpus luteum.” The corpus luteum is maintained by the hormone hCG until the placenta is capable of taking over progesterone production. <P> Progesterone. Progesterone is one of the steroid hormones. It is secreted by the corpus luteum and by the placenta and is responsible for preparing the body for pregnancy and, if pregnancy occurs, maintaining it until birth. If pregnancy does occur, the placenta begins to secrete progesterone which supplements that of the corpus luteum. In fact, by the fifth month of pregnancy, the placenta secretes sufficient progesterone by itself that the corpus luteum is no longer essential to maintain pregnancy. <P> What is progesterone? Progesterone belongs to a group of steroid hormones called progestogens. It is mainly secreted by the corpus luteum in the ovary during the second half of the menstrual cycle. It plays important roles in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. Progesterone. Print | Email article to a friend | Last updated: January 14, 2015.

what does a potometer do biology
|
<P> 1 The Potometer does not measure the rate of transpiration accurately because not all of the water that is taken by the plant is used for transpiration (water taken might be used for photosynthesis or by the cells to maintain turgidity). 2 The potometer measures the rate of uptake of water. 1 The potometer measures the rate of uptake of water. 2 To measure transpiration rate directly, rather than the rate of water uptake, utilize a scientific instrument which quantifies water transfer at the leaves. 3 The water retained by plant is so negligible that it can be neglected. <P> The Potometer. A potometer is a device that measures the rate at which a plant draws up water. Since the plant draws up water as it loses it by transpiration, you are able to measure the rate of transpiration. The basic elements of a potometer are: 1 A plant cutting. 2 A calibrated pipette to measure water loss. 3 A length of clear plastic tubing. 4 An air-tight seal between the plant and the water-filled tubing <P> A potometer, or transpirometer, is a device used to measure the rate of transpiration, or the rate of loss of water, from the leaves of a plant. Ad. One type of potometer design commonly used in the biology classroom is the bubble potometer, where the rate of movement of a bubble of air inside a column of water is used to measure the transpiration rate of a plant. <P> A potometer is a device used for measuring the rate of water uptake of a leafy plant shoot. The main reason for water uptake by a cut shoot is transpiration (evaporation in plants) and is effected by the transpiration stream. <P> A potometer (from Greek ποτό = drunken, and μέτρο = measure) —sometimes known as a transpirometer — is a device used for measuring the rate of water uptake of a leafy shoot. The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration. Everything must be completely water tight so that no leakage of water occurs. 1 The potometer measures the rate of uptake of water. 2 To measure transpiration rate directly, rather than the rate of water uptake, utilize a scientific instrument which quantifies water transfer at the leaves. 3 The water retained by plant is so negligible that it can be neglected. <P> potometer is an appartus to measure water uptake by a plant. it is used to find out the water uptake by a plant using potometer and then measure it by the scale on the … potometer. . 5 people found this useful.

To measure transpiration rate directly, rather than the rate of water uptake, utilize a scientific instrument which quantifies water transfer at the leaves. <P> Main Image: A potometer also known as ‘transpirometer’ is a tool used for measuring the rate of water loss of a leaves of the plant. The major reason for water loss is transpiration and photosynthesis. Transpiration is the loss of water from leaves and stems and essential process in green plants. All potometers follows the same pattern as given below: 1 Mass potometer: The mass potometer is designed in such a way that a plant with its root is inundated in a glass beaker or a container. 2 This container (beaker) is then kept on a digital balance. <P> The mass potometer measures the water lost through transpiration of the plant and not the water taken up by the plant. 1 A potometer is a piece of apparatus used to measure the rate of water loss from a plant (transpiration). 2 The rate of transpiration can be estimated in two ways: 1 The potometer measures the rate of uptake of water. 2 To measure transpiration rate directly, rather than the rate of water uptake, utilize a scientific instrument which quantifies water transfer at the leaves. 3 The water retained by plant is so negligible that it can be neglected.

how much grocery bill in a month for an average american
|
<P> The average food cost per month for 1 person varied from a low of $196.08 for a single female in the 51 - 70 age group on a thrifty plan to $447.84 for a single male in the 19 - 50 age group on a liberal plan. For females, the average food cost per month for 1 person is $283.28 For males, the average food cost per month for 1 person is $319.28. You can view the raw data at USDA. If you want to perform your own calculations, remember that the data shown is for individuals in a four-person family <P> For a couple with older teenagers (especially sons), the average grocery bill for family of 4 is slightly higher at about one thousand fifty-six dollars ($1,056), and ranges from almost seven hundred dollars ($700) per month on a thrifty plan to more than fourteen hundred dollars ($1,400) per month on a liberal plan. As you can see from Chart 1, the estimated average grocery bill for family of 4 ranges from almost six hundred fifty dollars ($650) per month on a thrifty plan to almost thirteen hundred dollars ($1,300) per month on a liberal plan. For your convenience, we've highlighted the average value for all plans combined <P> Answer: According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, the average food cost per month for 1 person in the United States is approximately three hundred one dollars ($301.00) for all categories combined. For females, the average food cost per month for 1 person is $283.28 For males, the average food cost per month for 1 person is $319.28. You can view the raw data at USDA. If you want to perform your own calculations, remember that the data shown is for individuals in a four-person family <P> Answer: According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, the average grocery bill for family of 4 in the United States is about nine hundred sixty-three dollars ($963) per month. As you can see from Chart 1, the estimated average grocery bill for family of 4 ranges from almost six hundred fifty dollars ($650) per month on a thrifty plan to almost thirteen hundred dollars ($1,300) per month on a liberal plan. For your convenience, we've highlighted the average value for all plans combined <P> So, how much does the average American spend on groceries each month? The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics charts a wide variety of areas including employment, inflation, average pay and benefits, as well as consumer spending. In 2009, they found that the average American spent $6,443 annually food. This works out to spending about 13 percent of the annual household income on food, and a little more than half of that goes to the grocery store. If you divide the annual number by an average of two visits to the grocery store per week, that comes to roughly $60 per trip. Of course, some people make more frequent trips, while others stock up in larger amounts once or twice a month. <P> As you can see from chart 3, the average grocery bill for family of 4 in this example ranges from around five hundred sixty-four dollars ($564) per month on a thrifty plan to more than eleven hundred dollars ($1,100) per month on a liberal plan. As you can see from Chart 1, the estimated average grocery bill for family of 4 ranges from almost six hundred fifty dollars ($650) per month on a thrifty plan to almost thirteen hundred dollars ($1,300) per month on a liberal plan. For your convenience, we've highlighted the average value for all plans combined <P> For those two states, the average food cost per month for 1 person is $249.06 for Alaska and $365.52 for Hawaii. Note that each of these are for the thrifty plan, which is the only one published by the USDA for those two states. For females, the average food cost per month for 1 person is $283.28 For males, the average food cost per month for 1 person is $319.28. You can view the raw data at USDA. If you want to perform your own calculations, remember that the data shown is for individuals in a four-person family <P> Typical grocery spending According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American family spent $4,000 per year on groceries in 2013, or about $330 each month. In the context of a yearly budget, groceries count for about 8% of typical family spending, above health care (7%), entertainment (5%), and clothing (3%). Meanwhile, annual grocery spending is up by $140 since 2011.

how much do movers cost
|
<P> Time of year. Most movers will be able to quote you a ballpark price for moving your home based on the numbers and types of rooms in your home. Movers are well trained in being able to estimate how much packing and moving is involved in a 400 square foot kitchen as opposed to a 200 square foot library. <P> 1 Tipping is common for movers and runs $3-$5 per hour or 7-15% of the total move cost. 2 Insurance for a move runs about 30 cents per pound. 3 The American Moving and Storage Association explains how to plan a move and what to do before getting estimates. 1 Stairs, long or difficult distances from the truck to the door are priced higher. 2 Tipping is common for movers and runs $3-$5 per hour or 7-15% of the total move cost. 3 <P> Usually mover charge 1 hour as a travel fee (the time the movers get to your location and back from the destination) with the regular hourly rate. Most professional movers rates are from $85/hour to $95/hour depending on the date. Busy dates are more expensive (in the end of the month, especially in the Summer). These prices include 2 men and a truck. So a sample mini move of 3 hours will cost you approximately 3hours + 1 hour travel time = 4hours x $85 in the best case scenario comes to $340 total. Most movers will ask for a deposit when scheduling the move so they can reserve the date for you <P> 1 A studio apartment takes two movers--at $25 each per hour--an average of 2-4 hours to load, transport and unload for a price of $100-$200. 2 The same service for a 900-square foot two-bedroom apartment with three movers will take 4-6 hours and cost $300-$450. 1 Stairs, long or difficult distances from the truck to the door are priced higher. 2 Tipping is common for movers and runs $3-$5 per hour or 7-15% of the total move cost. 3 Insurance for a move runs about 30 cents per pound. <P> 1 The same service for a 900-square foot two-bedroom apartment with three movers will take 4-6 hours and cost $300-$450. 2 Price for a three-bedroom, 1,750-square foot house using four movers who load, transport and unload, runs $600-$900 and takes about 6-9 hours. 1 Stairs, long or difficult distances from the truck to the door are priced higher. 2 Tipping is common for movers and runs $3-$5 per hour or 7-15% of the total move cost. 3 Insurance for a move runs about 30 cents per pound. <P> This charge includes additional boxes, shrink-wrap, tape and bubble wrap. Therefore, how much movers charge per hour and for packing is relative and will reflect the standard of the area you live, the mover’s category and the number of movers and work hours. Again, the total moving cost is difficult to determine unless you get an in-house estimate that will guarantee a final cost. Local moves usually cost less than long distance or commercial relocation. When moving locally, movers will charge an hourly rate, which will include travel time and packing labor. So, here you can ask how much movers charge per hour. <P> 1 Moving out of a studio apartment with the help of 2 local movers will cost you around $150-$200 if the entire loading, transportation and unloading operations are complete within 3-4 hours. If you decide to hire movers for labor only (without a moving truck), the professionals will charge about $60 to $80 per hour of labor. You can use our local moving cost calculator form on the top of the page as a cost estimator about the entire move. <P> Legitimate licensed and insured movers usually charge between $75 and $120 per hour, some charge as low as $75/hr depending on the area in which you live. Any mover that charge you less than $75/hr is not normally a licensed and insured mover and you may want to be very leery of these movers. <P> The cost per hour per mover is about $25 – $30. How many hours of work will the movers do depends on the size of your home, how much stuff you’ve got in there, and if the movers are hired to pack or load/ unload. Hiring only moving labor could cost you about $50 to $70 per hour. A two bedroom apartment or house will need 3 movers and about 5 – 6 hours of work which means an average of $350 – $400 total charge. A three bedroom flat or house would take approximately 7 – 8 hours of work which means that the movers charge could go up to about $800 – $900. <P> Make sure you keep this in mind when you speak with them to estimate moving costs. The average cost of movers for 2 men and a truck is between $90 and $120 per hour. If you decide to hire movers for labor only (without a moving truck), the professionals will charge about $60 to $80 per hour of labor. You can use our local moving cost calculator form on the top of the page as a cost estimator about the entire move.

why was mendeleev's periodic table accepted
|
<P> Mendeleev's table was the one to become universally accepted for two major reasons. First, he left strategic gaps in his table to account for elements that had not yet been discovered (and subsequently were discovered and fit the expectations required in his periodic table). <P> This table and the accompanying observations were first presented to the Russian Chemical Society in March 1869. (Actually, Mendeleev was ill, and his colleague Nikolai Menshutkin presented his paper [Menschutkin 1934].) The paper was published in the first volume of the new society's journal. <P> Mendeleev developed the periodic table of elements by arranging the elements in order of increasing atomic mass in 1869. He discovered that elements with similar properties oc … curred in a periodic pattern. <P> Mendeleev realized that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a 'periodic' way, and arranged them so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table. <P> Isotopes are atoms of the same element having different atomic mass but same atomic number. For e.g., there are three isotopes of hydrogen with atomic mass 1, 2, and 3. According to Mendeleev's periodic table these should be placed at three separate places. <P> Mendeleev developed the periodic table of elements by arranging the elements in order of increasing atomic mass in 1869. He discovered that elements with similar properties oc … curred in a periodic pattern. He was able to predict the properties of elements that were missing at the time because of this pattern. In 1914, Moseley contributed to the periodic table by reorganizing the elements according to atomic number. <P> He realised that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a 'periodic' way, and arranged them so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table. <P> Dmitri Mendeleev was born at Tobolsk, Siberia in 1834 and died in 1907. Mendeleev studied science at St. Petersburg and graduated in 1856. In 1863 Mendeleev was appointed to a professorship and in 1866 he succeeded to the Chair in the University. <P> Another table in order of relative atomic mass. Dmitri Mendeleev (1834 - 1907). In 1869, just five years after John Newlands put forward his law of octaves, a Russian chemist called Dmitri Mendeleev published a periodic table.

<P> Love Symbol redirects here. For the heart symbol commonly used to represent love, see Heart (symbol) . is the fourteenth studio album by American recording artist Prince, released October 13, 1992 on Paisley Park and Warner Bros. Records. 3 Chains o' Gold, a direct-to-video film produced and directed by Prince, was released in 1994. The film is based on the plotline and songs of the Love Symbol Album and contained some of the original segues which were planned to be on the album. <P> mitch monson. Minneapolis, MN, USA. PRINCE The Artist Formerly Known as Prince // Symbol Design. In addition to working on a number of Prince music videos over the years, I was fortunate enough to collaborate with Art Director Lizz Luce to design the Symbol for The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. You can see that the motorcycle in purple Rain has the symbol All over it, And after the When doves cry scene you can see the Symbol In the Bridge, so The Symbol it's not A 90s Thing. Well I'm not an expert but If U ask me I think that The Symbol Was His Name Til 2001 I think. <P> Due to its official title being an unpronounceable symbol, which Prince later adopted as his name, the album has been referred to as the Love Symbol Album, Symbol Album, or simply Symbol. It is Prince's second album to feature his backing group, The New Power Generation, which received co-billing for the release. 3 Chains o' Gold, a direct-to-video film produced and directed by Prince, was released in 1994. The film is based on the plotline and songs of the Love Symbol Album and contained some of the original segues which were planned to be on the album. <P> Prince to a Symbol. By Nate Rawlings Friday, Sept. 16, 2011. It's sometimes hard for young fans today to understand how popular Prince was in the 1980s. With hits like When Doves Cry and 1999, Prince (that was actually part of his real name, Prince Rogers Nelson) was one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. <P> Prince /prin-ce/ [1 syll.] as a boys' name is pronounced prince. It is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Prince is prince . Surname that possibly derived from a nickname for those with a lordly manner, or indicated someone who worked in a prince's household. The musician Prince made the royal title familiar as a given name, but has changed his name to a symbol sometimes abbreviated TAFKAP. Comedian Freddie Prinze; actor Freddie Prinze Jr; theatrical producer Harold Prince. Kreatif forms: Princy, Prinnios, Prinpe <P> Prince and symbols used by artists. Long before Prince became the artist known by a symbol, English poets signed their work with a symbol. In fact, only two Old English poets are known by name, Cynewulf and Caedmon. Old English differed greatly from the English of today, it basically resembled modern German. <P> Some reporters claimed Prince was discarding a celebrated trademark. But Prince felt when the lights went down in a concert hall, and he spoke into a microphone, “it doesn’t matter what your name is.” Jokes and references to “Symbol Man,” “the Glyph,” and “What’s-His-Symbol” crept into stories. <P> Confidence votes 20. It is to my understanding that the Symbol Prince used for awhile are the glyph symbols of Mars(male) and Venus(female) combined. Prince's symbol is also essentially identical to an alchemic symbol for the substance soapstone, with a circle added and the whole symbol rotated 135 degrees clockwise. This symbol may be found on page 74 of Signs, Symbols and Signets by Ernst Leher, Dover, 1969, a republication of the original 1950 work <P> Ian Dickson/Redferns. In 1993, Prince was fed up with his label, Warner Bros. They wanted him to release fewer CDs so he wouldn't flood the market and they could better promote him. He couldn't get out of his contract, but he could change his name to an unpronounceable symbol, largely to mess with them. Journalists started to call him the artist formerly known as Prince, but in 2000 he went back to Prince when his Warner contract expired. During that time, sales of his new music slowed down significantly, but he still managed to get his point across. 1 Share.

how do muscles of the back function
|
<P> Three types of muscle. You've got around 650 muscles in your body, and they make up roughly half of your bodyweight. These muscles can be divided into three different groups: skeletal, smooth and cardiac. All of these muscles can stretch and contract, but they perform very different functions. Skeletal muscle. The tissue most commonly thought of as muscle is skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles cover your skeleton, giving your body its shape. <P> Nine muscles of the chest and upper back are used to move the humerus (upper arm bone). The coracobrachialis and pectoralis major muscles connect the humerus anteriorly to the scapula and ribs, flexing and adducting the arm toward the front of the body when you reach forward to grab an object. Muscles of the Chest and Upper Back. The muscles of the chest and upper back occupy the thoracic region of the body inferior to the neck and superior to the abdominal region and include the muscles of the shoulders. <P> Click to read more below. The trapezius is one of the major muscles of the back and is responsible for moving, rotating, and stabilizing the scapula (shoulder blade) and extending the head at the neck. It is a wide, flat, superficial muscle that covers most of the upper back and the posterior of the neck. Like most other muscles, there are two trapezius muscles – a left and a right trapezius – that are symmetrical and meet at the vertebral column <P> Three types of muscles. The muscular system can be broken down into three types of muscles: skeletal, smooth and cardiac, according to the NIH. Skeletal muscles are the only voluntary muscle tissue in the human body and control every action that a person consciously performs. Muscles also can be identified by their function. The flexor group of the forearm flexes the wrist and the fingers. The supinator is a muscle that allows you to roll your wrist over to face palm up. <P> In addition to moving the arm and pectoral girdle, muscles of the chest and upper back work together as a group to support the vital process of breathing. The diaphragm is a strong, thin, dome-shaped muscle that spans the entire inferior border of the rib cage, separating the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. Muscles of the Chest and Upper Back. The muscles of the chest and upper back occupy the thoracic region of the body inferior to the neck and superior to the abdominal region and include the muscles of the shoulders. <P> The basic function of muscle is to generate force. Secondarily, muscles can provide some shape and form to the organism. Anatomically and functionally, muscle can be divided into two types, smooth and striated. Striated or striped muscle can be further divided into skeletal muscle and cardiac (heart) muscle. <P> Rhomboid. The rhomboid muscle. This muscle is located on the upper portion of the back anatomy, underneath the trapezius. They originate from the vertebrae and insert into the scapulae. The rhomboid muscle is activated as you bring and squeeze your scapula or shoulder blades back and together. The latissimus dorsi, also known as the “lats” or “wings,” are the largest and most well-known of all the back muscles. Once large enough, the lats are responsible for your body’s “V-taper” because of their protruding appearance under your armpit area and on the back of your ribs. <P> These important muscles control many motions that involve moving the arms and head – such as throwing a ball, looking up at the sky, and raising your hand. Breathing, a vital body function, is also controlled by the muscles connected to the ribs of the chest and upper back.... Muscles of the Chest and Upper Back. The muscles of the chest and upper back occupy the thoracic region of the body inferior to the neck and superior to the abdominal region and include the muscles of the shoulders.

difference between whitetail and mule deer
|
<P> The tails of the two species are also different. Mule deer have a black tip on the tail and this is quite noticeable against the white rump patch. White tails, as the name implies, don’t have a black tip on the tail. Rather, the top of the tail down to the very tip is the same color as the back and sides of the animal. In this respect, mule deer antlers are similar to those of elk, though the rack is not as large. A white tailed deer has antlers that have a beam, or main antler, that runs the full length of each side of the rack. <P> Mule Deer and Whitetail Deer are closely related cousins sharing the same generic name. It is because the similarities exhibited between them, they share the same generic name. · Geographical distribution is wider for whitetails compared to mule deer, which is because whitetails have a tremendous genetic variation among them. · Mule deer is larger compared to whitetail deer in body size. · Mule deer has mule-like large ears but those are small in whitetail deer. · Whitetails have white coloured fur under their tails, whereas mule deer have white tails with a black tip. · The antlers of mule deer are bifurcated rather than branching from a single main beam <P> Antlers. Buck, or male, white-tailed deer and mule deer have antlers. White-tailed bucks' antlers consist of a main beam with tines growing out from that beam. Mule deer bucks' antlers fork from the beam and then fork again. The result gives a very different look. Reproduction. White-tailed deer and mule deer have slightly different reproduction and mating cycles. Mule deer mate from mid-to late November; white-tailed deer breed from late November to early December. Gestation for mule deer is seven months, for white-tailed deer 6 1/2 months. <P> Whitetail Deer. Odocoileus virginianus, Whitetail, White-tailed deer, or Virginia deer are different names for the same animal described here. It is a medium sized deer native to Americas. An adult male has about 60 to 130 kilograms of weight and they are about 80 to 100 centimetres tall at the withers. · Geographical distribution is wider for whitetails compared to mule deer, which is because whitetails have a tremendous genetic variation among them. · Mule deer is larger compared to whitetail deer in body size. · Mule deer has mule-like large ears but those are small in whitetail deer. · Whitetails have white coloured fur under their tails, whereas mule deer have white tails with a black tip. · The antlers of mule deer are bifurcated rather than branching from a single main beam <P> Please try again later. This video shows the difference in tails between a mule deer (left), and a White tail (right). When the tails are down, the Muley's tail is black at the top and the bottom, with white in the center. The White tail's tail will be tan, outlined in white. <P> The difference between mule deer and white tale deer is that mule deer are slightly larger than white tales and live in colder areas. The white tale deer's tale is white on th … e end and the mule deer's is black. Mule deer have more of a brown gray color and the white tale is more red. 1 person found this useful. <P> Mule deer have a white rump patch around tail, which is thinner than the broad tail of the whitetail, and has a black tip. The mule deer stand three to three and a half feet tall at the shoulder, with bucks weighing 125-250 lbs. and does weighing in between 100 and 150 pounds. <P> The most noticeable differences between white-tailed and mule deer are the size of their ears, the color of their tails, and the configuration of their antlers. In many cases, body size is also a key difference. The mule deer's tail is black-tipped, whereas the whitetail's is not. Mule deer antlers are bifurcated; they fork as they grow, rather than branching from a single main beam, as is the case with whitetails. Each spring, a buck's antlers start to regrow almost immediately after the old antlers are shed.

what can cause middle back pain
|
<P> Middle back pain can also be due to more serious conditions, such as fibromyalgia, spondylitis (infection or inflammation of the spinal joints), or a herniated disc. A bulging disc can put pressure on the nerve roots coming out from the spine, resulting in middle back pain. Other possible causes of middle back pain. Middle back pain can also be due to systemic problems or problems affecting other body systems, which can be serious or life threatening in some cases. <P> In most cases, upper and middle back pain is caused by: 1 Overuse, muscle strain, or injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support your spine. 2 Poor posture. 3 Myofascial painMyofascial pain that affects the connective tissue of a muscle or group of muscles. Conditions that put pressure on the spinal nerves also can cause pain. These include: 1 OsteoarthritisOsteoarthritis. 2 This occurs when the cartilage that cushions the small facet joints in the spine breaks down. 3 When this happens, the back bones rub together and cause damage and pain. <P> Sitting or standing for long periods of time can also cause serious middle back pain. The effects of poor posture on the back may not cause middle back pain immediately. Instead, this causes pain gradually over time. Often as a result of muscle strains and sprains or other minor back injuries, muscle spasms and cramps can be another cause of middle back pain. This condition occurs when muscles in the back tense up. <P> See a picture of the spine. Upper and middle back pain is not as common as low back pain or neck pain, because the bones in this area of the back don't flex or move as much as the bones in your lower back or neck. Instead, they work with the ribs to keep the back stable and help protect vital organs, such as the heart and lungs. Upper and middle back pain may be caused by: 1 Overuse, muscle strain, or injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support your spine. 2 Poor posture. <P> Cause. In most cases, upper and middle back pain is caused by: 1 Overuse, muscle strain, or injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support your spine. 2 Poor posture. 3 Myofascial pain that affects the connective tissue of a muscle or group of muscles <P> 1 The breakdown of the discs can cause back or neck pain, arthritis, spinal stenosis, or a herniated disc. 2 A sudden injury to your back, such as from a fall or a car accident, may also start this process. 3 This problem can occur anywhere on your spine. 4 But in most cases, it occurs in the discs in the lower back and neck. Conditions that put pressure on the spinal nerves also can cause pain. These include: 1 OsteoarthritisOsteoarthritis. 2 This occurs when the cartilage that cushions the small facet joints in the spine breaks down. 3 When this happens, the back bones rub together and cause damage and pain. <P> Middle back pain is any type of pain or discomfort in the area between your upper and lower back. Health care professionals refer to this area as the lower thoracic area or lower thoracic spine. The upper thoracic area or upper thoracic spine makes up part of the upper back. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of middle back pain can help control symptoms and reduce the risk of complications, such as disability. Seek prompt medical care if your middle back pain is severe, is persistent, or causes you concern. <P> Although upper back pain is not a very common spinal disorder, it can cause significant discomfort and pain when it does occur. The most common causes of upper back pain are muscular irritation (myofascial pain) and joint dysfunction. There can be an injury to a disc in the upper back (such as a thoracic herniated disc or degenerated disc) that causes upper back pain, but such injuries are very rare. <P> Middle back pain may also cause referred pain in the chest as well. The thoracic spine, or middle back, connects the chest and ribs to the spine. Referred pain throughout the chest can be caused since the nerves in the chest or abdomen may share nerves that can become affected within the spine. Instead, this causes pain gradually over time. Often as a result of muscle strains and sprains or other minor back injuries, muscle spasms and cramps can be another cause of middle back pain. This condition occurs when muscles in the back tense up. <P> Upper back pain, also called middle back pain or thoracic back pain, is back pain that is felt in the region of the thoracic vertebrae, which are between the bottom of the neck and top of the lumbar spine. It has a number of potential causes, ranging from muscle strain to collapse of a vertebra or rare serious diseases.

what is a parabolic antenna
|
<P> Parabolic antennas are also classified by the type of feed, that is, how the radio waves are supplied to the antenna: 1 Axial or front feed – This is the most common type of feed, with the feed antenna located in front of the dish at the focus, on the beam axis, pointed back toward the dish. An advantage of parabolic antennas is that most of the structure of the antenna (all of it except the feed antenna) is nonresonant, so it can function over a wide range of frequencies, that is a wide bandwidth. <P> 1 High directivity: As with the gain, so too the parabolic reflector or dish antenna is able to provide high levels of directivity. 2 The higher the gain, the narrower the beamwidth. Parabolic reflector antenna applications. There are many areas in which the parabolic / dish antenna may be used. Its performance enables it to be used almost exclusively in some areas. 1 Direct broadcast television: Direct broadcast or satellite television has become a major form of distribution for television material. <P> A parabolic antenna is an antenna that uses a parabolic reflector, a curved surface with the cross-sectional shape of a parabola, to direct the radio waves. The most common form is shaped like a dish and is popularly called a dish antenna or parabolic dish. Design. The operating principle of a parabolic antenna is that a point source of radio waves at the focal point in front of a parabolic reflector of conductive material will be reflected into a collimated plane wave beam along the axis of the reflector. <P> The parabolic dish antenna is the form most frequently used in the radar engineering of installed antenna types of. Figure 1 illustrates the parabolic antenna. A dish antenna consists of one circular parabolic reflector and a point source situated in the focal point of this reflector. This point source is called “primary feed” or “feed”.

A parabolic (or paraboloid or paraboloidal) reflector (or dish or mirror) is a reflective surface used to collect or project energy such as light, sound, or radio waves. Its shape is part of a circular paraboloid, that is, the surface generated by a parabola revolving around its axis. The parabolic reflector transforms an incoming plane wave traveling along the axis into a spherical wave converging toward the focus. The parabolic reflector functions due to the geometric properties of the paraboloidal shape: any incoming ray that is parallel to the axis of the dish will be reflected to a central point, or focus . <P> Parabolic antennas are also classified by the type of feed, that is, how the radio waves are supplied to the antenna: Axial or front feed-This is the most common type of feed, with the feed antenna located in front of the dish at the focus, on the beam axis.

which kind of luster gives minerals a shiny appearance
|
<P> Metallic-Minerals with a metallic luster are opaque and reflective, like metal. The metal lic elements, most sulfides, and some oxides belong in this category. Submetallic-Describes a mineral that is opaque to nearly opaque and reflects well. Thin splinters or sections of submetallic minerals are translucent. <P> As one of the properties in minerals, there are different types of luster as there are different mineral categories. Luster is divided into two categories namely nonmetallic and metallic. Metallic minerals tend to have a shiny and opaque appearance. There are various sub-categories of luster in nonmetallic minerals. <P> Pitchy-Minerals with a tar-like appearence have a pitchy luster. Minerals with a pitchy luster are usually radioactive and have gone through the process of metamiction. Waxy-A waxy luster describes a mineral that appears as if it were coated with a layer wax. <P> Luster (or Lustre) is a description of the way light interacts with the surface of a crystal,rock or mineral-For example a metallic lustre or silky lustre. <P> Every mineral has a characteristic luster, but some minerals may have a different luster on different specimens. There is no scientific method to determine luster. Often, determining the luster of a particular specimen is personal; to some it may appear as one type of luster, and to others as a different type. <P> Such include cinnabar and sphalerite. There are minerals that have a completely nonmetallic luster. Thus type of luster gives minerals a nonmetallic appearance. An example of nonmetallic luster is adamantine, a type of luster where a mineral has a brilliant, shiny appearance with a hard diamond look. Such minerals may be translucent or transparent and include cubic zirconia and diamonds. <P> One simple way to classify luster is based on whether the mineral is metallic or non-metallic. Minerals that are opaque and shiny, such as pyrite, have a metallic luster. Minerals such as quartz have a non-metallic luster. Different types of non-metallic luster are described in Table below. <P> Minerals like pyrite that are opaque and shiny have a metallic luster. Minerals with a non-metallic luster do not look like metals. There are many types of non-metallic luster, six of which are described in Table 3.1.

False, most people do not consider William Shakespeare as the greatest play writer of all time, the people who do are people that concentrates in the field of English Literature, and are severely limited to other works. For this reason Shakespeare is deeply admired by actors, and many consider playing a Shakespearean character to be the most difficult and most rewarding role possible. 4) Ability to Turn a Phrase Many of the common expressions now thought to be cliches clichés Were'shakespeare s. creations <P> King Lear is thought by many to be one of Shakespeare's greatest triumphs, a play layered with complexities of the human condition: it is a study in human suffering and the kinship of man. It follows the story of Lear, the King of England, as he descends slowly into madness and his three daughters. <P> Visitor Survey Click here! Shakespeare is renowned as the English playwright and poet whose body of works is considered the greatest in history of English literature. Surprisingly for the world's greatest playwright, we actually know very little about Shakespeare's life. What few details we have come from church records, land titles and the written opinions of others. Very little is known about young Shakespeare. <P> Almost everyone in the Western World has read one of Shakespeare's plays, even if only at school, and almost everyone can name one of his works. Arguably, Shakespeare's most famous and popular play is the romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Other popular plays include Hamlet, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Othello, and The Merchant of Venice. Some of Shakespeare's plays were published individually in his lifetime, but most were printed for the first time in the First Folio of 1623 <P> As the title says. Also, to even have the impudence to say that Shakespeare is the greatest writer of all time and not merely past time while not thinking about the future leads to some bias. The reason why shakespeare is considered the best is because of his intouchability. Being the greatest writer is different from person to person. To say that Shakespeare is the greatest writer of all time suggests he was the most liked writer/ most read/ most influential writer of all time. He wasn't any of the three so therefore he can't be the greatest <P> William Shakespeare is generally considered the greatest writer of all time. His plays, along with his collection of sonnets, contain unparalleled poetic beauty and wisdom, and his knowledge is breathtakingly diverse. Arguably, Shakespeare's most famous and popular play is the romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Other popular plays include Hamlet, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Othello, and The Merchant of Venice. <P> Without a doubt Shakespeare was a genius, and is considered, along with the likes of Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as having possessed one of the greatest minds of all time. Arguably, Shakespeare's most famous and popular play is the romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Other popular plays include Hamlet, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Othello, and The Merchant of Venice. <P> William Shakespeare, if that was his real name, was an obscure writer of Elizabethan entertainments about whom little is known.... Just kidding. But only partly. The poet and playwright generally considered the greatest ever is also one of the least known of all literary figures. His works were indeed created for the popular entertainment of his day with little thought to their immortality. Shakespeare did not take any steps to preserve his writings past their immediate use <P> Posted on. (Answer #1). Shakespeare's reputation as the greatest English-language writer stems from at least five dimensions of his collective work. The first of these is the sheer scope of his achievement. Over some thirty-eight plays, Shakespeare addressed virtually every aspect of human experience. That being so, although he wrote for a specific audience of a particular historical era, Shakespeare's works are timeless. In fact, many of his works have been updated to our own time. Depth is a third facet of the Shakespeare canon.

<P> These elements are radioactive. They either have no stable naturally occurring isotope, or else are entirely artificial (all artificial elements have no stable isotopes). Click any element tile below to get the full entry for that element, or click on the sample picture to go directly to the description of that sample. <P> Half-life is the amount of time required, for half quantity of radioactive element to decay. For example C 14 has a half life of 5730 years. That is, if you take 1 gm of C 14, then half of it will have been decayed in 5730 years. In the list presented below, half-lives of all the radioactive elements are presented. Radioactive Elements List. Here is a detailed and comprehensive list of natural radioactive elements along with their atomic and mass numbers, decay modes and half-lives. Here 'Beta Decay (β -)' denotes electron emission while Beta Decay (β +) denotes positron emission. <P> A radioactive element is one with an unstable nucleus, which radiates alpha, beta or gamma radiation and gets converted to a stable element. This article has a comprehensive list of radioactive elements and their properties. Here is a detailed and comprehensive list of natural radioactive elements along with their atomic and mass numbers, decay modes and half-lives. Here 'Beta Decay (β -)' denotes electron emission while Beta Decay (β +) denotes positron emission. <P> Of the first 83 elements in the periodic table, 80 have isotopes considered to be stable. Technetium, promethium (atomic numbers 43 and 61, respectively) and all the elements with an atomic number over 82 only have isotopes that are known to decompose through radioactive decay. Only 13 of the 38 known-but-unstable elements (assuming the total number of elements is 118) have isotopes with a half-life of at least 100 years. Every known isotope of the remaining 25 elements is highly radioactive; these are used in academic research and sometimes in industry and medicine. <P> radioactive element, an element subject to spontaneous degeneration of its nucleus accompanied by the emission of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive. Naturally occurring radioactive elements include radium, thorium, and uranium. Several radioactive elements not found in nature have been produced by the bombardment of stable elements with subatomic particles in a cyclotron. Compare stable element. See also radioactivity. <P> Half-Life of a Radioactive Element. The half-life of a radioactive element is the time needed for half of the material to decay. The blue and orange points represent the original number of radioactive nuclei and those that decay; the number of blue points decreases by half at each step in time. <P> This radioactive metal is unique in that one of its isotopes, uranium-235, is the only naturally occurring isotope capable of sustaining a nuclear fission reaction. (An isotope is a version of the element with a differing number of neutrons in its nucleus.). <P> Share. This is a list or table of elements that are radioactive. All elements have radioactive isotopes. This table contains the elements that have no stable isotopes. Each element is followed by the most stable known isotope and its half-life. This list is sorted by increasing atomic number. Reference: International Atomic Energy Agency ENSDF database (Oct 2010). <P> A chemical element or element is a chemical substance consisting of atoms having the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei (i.e. the same atomic number, Z). There are 118 elements that have been identified, of which the first 94 occur naturally on Earth with the remaining 24 being synthetic elements. There are 80 elements that have at least one stable isotope and 38 that have exclusively radioactive isotopes, which decay over time into other elements. Iron is the most abundant element (by mass) making up the Earth, while oxygen is the most common element in the crust of the earth. <P> Isotopes are atoms of the same element (that is, with the same number of protons in their atomic nucleus), but having different numbers of neutrons. Most (66 of 94) naturally occurring elements have more than one stable isotope. There are 80 elements that have at least one stable isotope and 38 that have exclusively radioactive isotopes, which decay over time into other elements. Iron is the most abundant element (by mass) making up the Earth, while oxygen is the most common element in the crust of the earth.

<P> Mineral. mineral. 1. An inorganic species or substance occurring in nature, having a definite chemical composition and usually a distinct crystalline form. Rocks, except certain glassy igneous forms, are either simple minerals or aggregates of minerals. 2. A mine. 3. Of or pertaining to minerals; consisting of a mineral or of minerals; as, a mineral substance. 2. Impregnated with minerals; as, mineral waters. (Science: chemistry) Mineral acids, a salt of a mineral acid. Mineral tallow, a familiar name for hatchettite, from its fatty or spermaceti-like appearance. <P> mineral. n. 1. (Minerals) any of a class of naturally occurring solid inorganic substances with a characteristic crystalline form and a homogeneous chemical composition. 2. any inorganic matter. 3. (Mining & Quarrying) any substance obtained by mining, esp a metal ore. 4. any of the inorganic elements, as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, or sodium, that are essential to the functioning of the human body and are obtained from foods. 5. minerals, Brit. mineral water. 6. of, pertaining to, or of the nature of a mineral. 7. containing or impregnated with minerals. <P> Minerals. A mineral is a solid, inorganic, naturally-formed substance that has a crystalline structure and specific chemical composition. I know that's a lot to take in, so let's break down this definition piece by piece. First of all, minerals are solid and formed naturally in the earth. Rocks and minerals are both solid, naturally formed substances that are found in or on the earth. They are both inorganic, meaning they are not made from tissues of living things.
