why is boron nitride an insulator
|
<P> Boron nitride can be doped p-type with Be and n-type with boron, sulfur, silicon or if co-doped with carbon and nitrogen. Both hexagonal and cubic BN are wide-gap semiconductors with a band gap energy corresponding to the UV region. Boron nitride has been produced in amorphous (a-BN) and crystalline forms. The most stable crystalline form is the hexagonal one, also called h-BN, α-BN, or g-BN (graphitic BN). Hexagonal boron nitride (point group = D 6h; space group = P6 3 /mmc) has a layered structure similar to graphite. <P> Boron nitride has the formula (BN)n, (n is a very large number, but the empirical formula is BN). It forms cubic and hexagonal structures which correspond (analogous) to carbon in the form of diamond and graphite respectively. Hexagonal boron nitride can be made in single layers and can also be formed into nanotubes. Bundles of boron nanotubes are used for wire sleeving. Boron nanotubes are used as a catalyst support, as in the case of carbon nanotubes. Boron nitride is NOT an electron deficient compound like semi-conductors. <P> Boron nitride has potential use in nanotechnology. Nanotubes of BN can be produced that have a structure similar to that of carbon nanotubes, i.e. graphene (or BN) sheets rolled on themselves, but the properties are very different. Boron nitride has been produced in amorphous (a-BN) and crystalline forms. The most stable crystalline form is the hexagonal one, also called h-BN, α-BN, or g-BN (graphitic BN). Hexagonal boron nitride (point group = D 6h; space group = P6 3 /mmc) has a layered structure similar to graphite. <P> Figure 1. h-BN powder (photo courtesy of Ceram Research Ltd). Cubic boron nitride (C-BN) has the same structure as diamond and its properties mirror those of diamond. Indeed C-BN is the second hardest material next to diamond. C-BN was first synthesised in 1957, but it is only in the last 15 years that commercial production of C-BN has developed. It is not surprising therefore that boron nitride and carbon exhibit similarity in their crystal structure. In the same way that carbon exists as graphite and diamond, boron nitride can be synthesised in hexagonal and cubic forms. <P> No, boron nitride is often used as an insulator in the semi-conductor industry. <P> Boron nitride is an excellent heat conductor and electrical insulator with overall cost reduction while improving physical properties at lower loading. Meet the need for new and innovative cooling techniques with Thermally Conductive Plastics (TCP) containing Boron Nitride. <P> Boron nitride is often referred to as “white graphite” because it is a lubricious material with the same platy hexagonal structure as carbon graphite. Unlike graphite, BN is a very good electrical insulator. It offers very high thermal conductivity and good thermal shock resistance. Boron nitride is a white solid material in the as produced hot pressed form. It is a low porosity solid. It is easily machined into complex shapes using standard carbide tooling. <P> Boron nitride is a chemical compound with chemical formula BN, consisting of equal numbers of boron and nitrogen atoms. BN is isoelectronic to a similarly structured carbon lattice and thus exists in various crystalline forms. Boron nitride has been produced in amorphous (a-BN) and crystalline forms. The most stable crystalline form is the hexagonal one, also called h-BN, α-BN, or g-BN (graphitic BN). Hexagonal boron nitride (point group = D 6h; space group = P6 3 /mmc) has a layered structure similar to graphite. <P> The results were reported last week in the online journal Nano Letters. Graphene, touted as a possible successor to silicon in microelectronics applications, is the new darling of research labs that hope to take advantage of its superb electronic properties. Hexagonal boron nitride, on the other hand, is an insulator. Earlier this year, Rice postdoctoral researchers in Ajayan's group found a way to implant islands of h-BN into sheets of graphene, a unique way to exert a level of control over the sheet's electronic character.

what is a bacnet
|
<P> This BACnet protocol stack library provides a BACnet application layer, network layer and media access (MAC) layer communications services. It is an open source, royalty-free library for an embedded system, Windows, Linux, or other operating system. Example BACnet client and server applications are included. BACnet is an open protocol, which means anyone can contribute to the standard, and anyone may use it. The only caveat is that the BACnet standard document itself is copyrighted by ASHRAE, and they sell the document to help defray costs of developing and maintaining the standard (just like IEEE or ANSI or ISO). <P> Briefly, What is BACnet? is the first in our Understanding BACnet Series. The series is an overview intended for those who are encountering BACnet for the first time or those who simply wish to review basic BACnet concepts. BACnet is a communications protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks. One of its primary appeals is that it provides interoperability among different vendor's equipment. This frees the building owner from dependence on one vendor when the time comes for system expansion. <P> What makes BACnet special is that the rules relate specifically to the needs of building automation and control equipment, i.e., they cover things like how to ask for the value of a temperature, define a fan operating schedule, or send a pump status alarm. Maybe, maybe not. In order for a BACnet device, say an operator workstation, to talk to non-BACnet devices like your existing DDC system from XYZ Controls, you need an intervening gateway. A gateway is like a United Nations translator that can speak two languages. <P> BACnet is a communications protocol for b uilding a utomation and c ontrol net works. It is an ASHRAE, ANSI, and ISO 16484-5 standard protocol. BACnet was designed to allow communication of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control (HVAC), lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems and their associated equipment. The BACnet protocol defines a number of services that are used to communicate between building devices. The protocol services include Who-Is, I-Am, Who-Has, I-Have, which are used for Device and Object discovery. Services such as Read-Property and Write-Property are used for data sharing. <P> BACnet (Building Automation and Control Network) is a communications protocol that defines the services used to communicate between building automation end-devices and building control systems. BACnet stands for Building Automation and Control network. The BACnet Committee developed the standard with the intention of creating a technically sound and truly non-proprietary standard. They also kept in mind ease of use and did their best to eliminate many of the barriers to implement. <P> Page 4 BACnet Introduction Introduction BACnet is an building automation and control networking protocol. It was developed by ASHRAE. BACnet was designed specifically to meet the communication needs of building automation and control systems. Typical applications include: heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control, lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems. History and Background Who cares. It works. Page 6 BACnet Objects and Properties cont’d Data inside a BACnet device is organized as a series of objects. Each ob-ject has a type and a set of properties. There is always at least one object in a device – it is used to represent the device itself. The other objects represent the device’s data. <P> A protocol for building automation. BACnet is a data communication protocol mainly used in the building automation and HVAC industry (Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning). The protocol allows equipment such as air conditioning machines, pumps and ventilation devices to communicate with a PLC <P> The series is an overview intended for those who are encountering BACnet for the first time or those who simply wish to review basic BACnet concepts. BACnet is a communications protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks. One of its primary appeals is that it provides “interoperability” among different vendor’s equipment. This frees the building owner from dependence on one vendor when the time comes for system expansion. <P> BACnet stands for Building Automation and Control Network. It was officially unveiled by ASHRAE in 1996, and has been approved as ISO standard 16454-5 and is also becoming a standard in the European Union.

when was soccer founded
|
<P> The location and time of the first soccer game is debated. There is currently no known record of the first soccer match played anything said on this matter would be pure specu … lation. It may be compareable to a pick-up game. Answer Football in general can be traced by over 900 years to Medieval Shrovetide football. However, the 'Laws of the game … ' for Assosiation football (Soccer) were coded by the Football Association in 1863. The first ever soccer match was played on Barnes common at Mortlake, London on 19th December 1863 between Barnes football club and Richmond football club. <P> The North American Soccer League (NASL), founded in 1968, brought Brazilian star Pel to the United States, and by 1980 the league had 24 teams. The NASL suffered financially, and in 1984 it went out of business. However, the league left a legacy of growing American involvement in the sport at youth level. The modern game of soccer began in the 19th century in England, where a variety of football games developed, all of which involved both handling and kicking. London Football Association (FA) in 1863 established the first set of rules for soccer, which was played at that time mostly in private schools and universities. <P> In 1888, The Football League was founded in England, becoming the first of many professional football competitions. During the twentieth century, several of the various kinds of football grew to become some of the most popular team sports in the world. The modern rules of many football codes were formulated during the mid-or late- 19th century. This also applies to other sports such as lawn bowls, lawn tennis, etc. The major impetus for this was the patenting of the world's first lawnmower in 1830. <P> Association football gained the nickname soccer in 1871 when the Rugby Football Union was founded. Both sports were called football, so people called Association football … soccer and Rugby football rugger. Although rugger is rarely used anymore, the name soccer persists in several countries. <P> FIFA was founded on 21 May 1904 in Paris by delegates from Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The founders created the first FIFA statutes, unifying the laws of the game to make it fair and clear to all players setting the foundation for all future football development.

A sport similar to football (called soccer in the United States and elsewhere) was played 3000 years ago in Japan. Chinese text from 50 BC mentions football-type games between teams from Japan and China. A text dating from 611 AD confirms that football was played in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan <P> There are a number of conflicting beliefs concerning the question of who invented soccer. Some suggest that the history of soccer dates back as far as 2500BC, during which time the Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese all appear to have partaken in feet-based games involving a ball. Soon after the FA rules were agreed, the first official soccer match took place in Battersea Park, London, featuring many of the top players. From that point on soccer flourished in Britain, with the Football Association Cup being introduced 12 years later and the foundation of the Football League in 1888. <P> The first football club was formed in Sheffield, England in 1857. The Football Association was founded on 26 October 1863 by 11 clubs meeting in London. (The word association was abbreviated to assoc., which became “soccer.”).

what is the axis of the transverse plane
|
<P> Axes. An axis is a straight line around which an object rotates. Movement at the joint take place in a plane about an axis. There are three axis of rotation. 1 Sagital axis-passes horizontally from posterior to anterior and is formed by the intersection of the sagital and transverse planes. <P> For the planes of a gear, see List of gear nomenclature. The transverse plane (also called the horizontal plane, axial plane, or transaxial plane) is an imaginary plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts. It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes. It is one of the planes of the body used to describe the location of body parts in relation to each other. The other two commonly used terms are the coronal plane and the sagittal plane. <P> The transverse plane (also called the horizontal plane, axial plane, or transaxial plane) is an imaginary plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts. It is one of the planes of the body used to describe the location of body parts in relation to each other. The other two commonly used terms are the coronal plane and the sagittal plane. <P> Your body can move in three distinct planes of motion: the sagittal plane, the frontal plane and the transverse plane. To get a comprehensive workout for your body, you should include exercises that move through each plane of motion. <P> 1 A transverse plane, also known as an axial plane or cross-section, divides the body into cranial (head) and caudal (tail) portions. 2 It is parallel to the ground, which (in humans) separates the superior from the inferior, or put another way, the head from the feet. Movement at the joint take place in a plane about an axis. There are three axis of rotation. 1 Sagital axis-passes horizontally from posterior to anterior and is formed by the intersection of the sagital and transverse planes. <P> The transverse axis, also known as the frontal or mediolateral axis, is perpendicular to the sagittal plane. In other words, the sagittal plane rotates about the transverse axis. A somersault is an example of movement about the transverse axis. The anteroposterior axis can also be called the sagittal axis. Frontal plane rotation occurs about the anteroposterior axis. Examples include jumping jacks and cartwheels <P> transverse plane, any one of the planes cutting across the body perpendicular to the sagittal and the frontal planes (at right angles to the long axis of the body), dividing the body into superior and inferior parts. Also called cardinal horizontal plane. Compare frontal plane, median plane, sagittal plane. a vertical plane through the body parallel to the median plane (or to the sagittal suture) and dividing the body into left and right portions. transverse plane. one passing through the body, at right angles to the sagittal and dorsal planes, and dividing the body into cranial and caudal portions. <P> a plane across the body at right angles to the coronal and sagittal planes; transverse planes are perpendicular to the long axis of the body or limbs, regardless of the position of the body or limb; in the anatomic position, transverse planes are horizontal planes; otherwise the two terms are not synonymous. a vertical plane through the body parallel to the median plane (or to the sagittal suture) and dividing the body into left and right portions. transverse plane. one passing through the body, at right angles to the sagittal and dorsal planes, and dividing the body into cranial and caudal portions. <P> 1 Transverse Planeo The Y-axis is perpendicular to the transverse plane. 2 Therefore a point which rotates around the Y-axis will move in the transverse plane.o Essentially, movement in a given plane takes place Y-axis around the axis that is perpendicular to that plane. 3 25. <P> 1 A coronal or frontal plane is perpendicular to the ground and divides the body into dorsal (posterior or back) and ventral (anterior or front) portions. 2 A transverse plane, also known as an axial plane or cross-section, divides the body into cranial (head) and caudal (tail) portions. Movement at the joint take place in a plane about an axis. There are three axis of rotation. 1 Sagital axis-passes horizontally from posterior to anterior and is formed by the intersection of the sagital and transverse planes.

what is radicals
|
<P> In the Chinese character 媽 mā mother, the left part is the radical 女 nǚ female. In this case the radical is the semantic component of a phono-semantic compound, while the right part, 馬 mǎ horse, is the phonetic component. The English term radical is based on an analogy between the structure of characters and inflection of words in European languages. Radicals are also sometimes called classifiers, but this name is more commonly applied to grammatical classifiers (measure words) <P> radical. adj. 1. of, relating to, or characteristic of the basic or inherent constitution of a person or thing; fundamental: a radical fault. 2. concerned with or tending to concentrate on fundamental aspects of a matter; searching or thoroughgoing: radical thought; a radical re-examination. radical-an atom or group of atoms with at least one unpaired electron; in the body it is usually an oxygen molecule that has lost an electron and will stabilize itself by stealing an electron from a nearby molecule; in the body free radicals are high-energy particles that ricochet wildly and damage cells. <P> A Chinese radical (Chinese: 部首; pinyin: bushǒu; bùshǒu: literally section) header is a graphical component of A chinese character under which the character is traditionally listed in A chinese. dictionary The English term radical is based on an analogy between the structure of characters and inflection of words in European languages. Radicals are also sometimes called classifiers, but this name is more commonly applied to grammatical classifiers (measure words). <P> In chemistry, a radical (more precisely, a free radical) is an atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired valency electrons. Most radicals are reasonably stable only at very low concentrations in inert media or in a vacuum. A notable example of a free radical is the hydroxyl radical (HO•), a molecule that has one unpaired electron on the oxygen atom. Two other examples are triplet oxygen and triplet carbene (: CH 2) which have two unpaired electrons. In contrast, the hydroxyl anion (HO−) is not a radical, since the unpaired electron is resolved by the addition of an electron; singlet oxygen and singlet carbene are not radicals as the two electrons are paired <P> Simplifying powers. Factors of the radicand. Fractional radicand. W E SAY THAT A SQUARE ROOT RADICAL is simplified, or in its simplest form, when the radicand has no square factors. A radical is also in simplest form when the radicand is not a fraction. Example 1. 33, for example, has no square factors. Its factors are 3 · 11, neither of which is a square number. Therefore, is in its simplest form. <P> The horizontal bar in the radical symbol tells how much of the expression is to be used. In this expression: the bar stretches across the whole expression p-q. So this means we subtract q from p, then find the square root of the result. The number of times the radicand is multiplied by itself. 2 means square root, 3 means cube root. After that they are called the 4th root, 5th root and so on. If this is missing, it is assumed to be 2 - the square root. <P> A radical (bushu) is a common sub-element found in different kanji characters. Every kanji has a radical or a radical itself can be a kanji. Radicals express the general nature of the kanji characters. A radical is the part of the kanji character that gives you a clue to its origin, group, meaning or pronunciation. Many kanji dictionaries organize characters by their radicals. There are 214 radicals.

what training is needed to become a teacher
|
<P> In order to teach preschool, the student must have at least a high school diploma or equivalent. To teach K - 12th grade, the student needs a bachelor's degree. In the case of public schools, the teacher must possess a bachelor's degree and also be licensed as a teacher in the state where they live. <P> How to Become a Special Education Teacher. Special education teachers in public schools are required to have a bachelor’s degree and a state-issued certification or license. Teachers in private schools also need a bachelor’s degree, but may not be required to have a state license or certification. <P> A: In order to be a teacher you will need at least a bachelor's degree in a subject such as: early childhood education, special education, science, mathematics or teaching. Teachers can also take advanced, post-graduate degrees or certificate programs in teaching, teacher training and adult education. <P> Although you don't need a master's degree to get a teaching license, you may need one to maintain your license. Some states require that you earn one within a specified time frame. There are two types of master-level education programs. One is designed for certified teachers who want or need an advanced degree. <P> Certification Required to Become a Teacher. All states in the U.S. require public school teachers to be certified or licensed through each state's own process. Early childhood, elementary, middle and high school education certification is available. Specialty certifications are available in areas like reading, physical education or music. <P> Students in an alternative licensing program must already have a bachelor's degree. The bachelor's does not necessarily have to be in the subject area that the student will be teaching. In most programs, students practice teaching in the classroom while taking education classes on weekends or at night. <P> Although the specific education requirements for becoming a teacher vary by state, all states require that public school teachers have bachelor's degrees. Those who teach high school and college usually need degrees in the disciplines they teach; however, college professors may also need an advanced, graduate degree. <P> For a student to become a teacher for K - 12th grade in a public school, they must first earn a bachelor's degree and receive state certification. To receive a teacher's license, an individual must complete an approved teaching program before passing a state licensure exam.

what is the difference between a mixed and pure culture
|
<P> There will never be a pure culture in this system of things. However, depending on what you believe in of course, there is to come a time when all the disturbing mixed up thin … gs we deaql with on a daily basis will come to pass and a new earth will form. It will be at that time when we can truly obtain a pure culture. A pure culture is a culture consisting of only one strain. YOU CAN OBTAIN A PURE CULTURE BY PICKING OUT A SMALL PORTION OF THE MIXED CULTURE(which will form the pure culture) AND GROWING THEM ON A NEW CULTURE MEDIA. <P> Difference Between Capitalism and the Mixed Economy. • Categorized under Politics | Difference Between Capitalism and the Mixed Economy. Capitalism vs Mixed Economy. There has been resurgence in the economic system known as capitalism during the past two decades. 4. The mixed economy is a balance between socialism and capitalism. As a result, some institutions are owned and maintained by the government, while others are owned by the private sector. 5. The mixed economy allows economic participation from both the private sector and the government. <P> A pure culture is one in which only one kind of microbial species is found whereas in mixed culture two or more microbial species formed colonies. Culture on the other hand, is the lifestyle that the people in the country (although it doesn't have to necessarily be a country, it could be a group of people or a period of time, etc.) live. If this answer helped you, please help me and click 'recommend' and make me a recommended answerer! Thanks (: <P> Best Answer: Pure culture is when you're 100% one thing, mixed culture is when you're more than one thing. If i remember correctly, a pure culture is grown from a single cell (often extracted from a mixed culture) of which the origin is known. A mixed culture is not. <P> A mixed culture is a container that holds two or more identified and easily differentiated species of microorganisms. A contaminated culture was once pure or mixed (and … thus a known entity) but since had contaminants (unwanted microbes of uncertain identity) introduced into it. A pure culture is a culture consisting of only one strain. YOU CAN OBTAIN A PURE CULTURE BY PICKING OUT A SMALL PORTION OF THE MIXED CULTURE(which will form the pure culture) AND GROWING THEM ON A NEW CULTURE MEDIA. <P> By Investopedia AAA |. A: A mixed economy is one in which the government does not own all of the means of production, but government interests may legally circumvent, replace, limit or otherwise regulate private economic interests. The first is state ownership of production, or socialism. The second is controlled private ownership, or a mixed economy, in which the state allows varying degrees of freedom between producers and consumers. <P> A pure culture is one in which only one kind of microbial species is found whereas in mixed culture two or more microbial species formed colonies. A pure culture is a culture consisting of only one strain. YOU CAN OBTAIN A PURE CULTURE BY PICKING OUT A SMALL PORTION OF THE MIXED CULTURE(which will form the pure culture) AND GROWING THEM ON A NEW CULTURE MEDIA. <P> A culture is a society's total way of living and a society is a group that live in a defined territory and participate in common culture. While the answer given is in essence … true, societies originally form for the express purpose to enhance survival of its members.

what does the pituitary gland form from
|
<P> Pituitary gland: The main endocrine gland. It is a small structure in the head. It is called the master gland because it produces hormones that control other glands and many body functions including growth. The pituitary consists of the anterior and posterior pituitary. The anterior pituitary is the front portion of the pituitary. <P> 1 The hormones of the pituitary gland help regulate the functions of other endocrine glands. 2 The pituitary gland has two parts—the anterior lobe and posterior lobe—that have two very separate functions. 3 The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release or inhibit pituitary hormone production. <P> Prolactin, which stimulates milk production Thyroid stimulating hormone, which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones. There are also some hormones that are produced by the hypothalamus and then stored in the posterior pituitary gland prior to being released into the bloodstream. 1 Adrenocorticotropic hormone, which stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete steroid hormones, principally cortisol. 2 Growth hormone, which regulates growth, metabolism and body composition. 3 Luteinising hormone and follicle stimulating hormone, also known as gonadotrophins. <P> The posterior pituitary (or neurohypophysis) is a lobe of the gland that is functionally connected to the hypothalamus by the median eminence via a small tube called the pituitary stalk (also called the infundibular stalk or the infundibulum). The anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis) is a lobe of the gland that regulates several physiological processes (including stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation). The intermediate lobe synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone. <P> Hormones secreted from the pituitary gland help control: growth, blood pressure, certain functions of the sex organs, thyroid glands and metabolism as well as some aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, nursing, water/salt concentration and the kidneys, temperature regulation and pain relief. The anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis) is a lobe of the gland that regulates several physiological processes (including stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation). The intermediate lobe synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone. <P> The pituitary gland secretes and stores hormones, which it uses to stimulate your other glands. Your hormones regulate a variety of body functions, such as temperature, urine production, thyroid activity, growth in children, and the production of sex hormones (testosterone in men and estrogen in women). Specifically, your pituitary gland manufactures eight different types of hormones: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), luteinising hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin, growth hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), and oxytocin. <P> The anterior pituitary makes several important hormones-growth hormone, puberty hormones (or gonadotrophins), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH, which stimulates the thyroid gland to make Thyroxine), prolactin and Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH, which stimulates the adrenal stress hormone, cortisol). The most common problem with the pituitary gland occurs when a benign growth (often referred to as 'adenoma' or 'tumour') develops. This can cause the gland to produce excess hormone, or it can block hormone production, or it can be 'non functioning' (hormone production not affected in any way). <P> The pituitary gland is a gland in the brain which produces chemicals called hormones (an endocrine gland). Hormones are chemical messengers which help different organs in the body communicate with each other. The pituitary gland is one part of a messenger system. Take the example of the control of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland in your neck. The hypothalamus produces a hormone called thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH travels to the pituitary gland and stimulates it to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). <P> In vertebrate anatomy, the pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an endocrine gland about the size of a pea and weighing 0.5 grams (0.018 oz) in humans. It is a protrusion off the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain. The anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis) is a lobe of the gland that regulates several physiological processes (including stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation). The intermediate lobe synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone. <P> The pituitary is an important gland in the body and it is often referred to as the 'master gland', because it controls several of the other hormone glands (e.g. adrenals, thyroid). The most common problem with the pituitary gland occurs when a benign growth (often referred to as 'adenoma' or 'tumour') develops. This can cause the gland to produce excess hormone, or it can block hormone production, or it can be 'non functioning' (hormone production not affected in any way).

how long after agreeing a buyer for a house does it take
|
<P> In other words, after your home purchase offer is accepted you'll have 30 days to obtain mortgage loan approval and close on the deal. Your mortgage lender will need to see your accepted purchase offer in order to begin final loan approval though. Initial Closing Date. It's common for real estate buyers and sellers to mutually agree to a closing date. For example, when offering to purchase a home you might ask its seller to agree to close within 30 days. <P> Most are taking closer to the 45 days right now. As a first time Buyer, I would choose a Lender first, find out what you qualify for, and then start searching about 2 1/2 - 3 months before you want to be in your new home. I would love to chance to speak with you and possibly assist you in your search. I have the Multiple Listing Service Listings link on my web site. The average client of mine finds a home in as little as one week to 4 weeks. From that period when we find the home and go under contract you are looking at another 30 to 45 days to close in most cases. Depending on your personal circumstances I would definitely give yourself some buffer room. <P> A home buyer can withdraw an offer at any time until the offer is accepted by the home seller. After that, the seller may owe a commission to the broker, and may sue the buyer for breach of contract to recover the cost of that commission. The law is very different for the home seller who actually accepts an offer by a buyer under the exact terms of the offer. When this happens, the seller and the buyer are now in contract subject to any contingencies required of the buyer (home inspection or loan requirements) in order to close the transaction. <P> Closing Time Frame. Once a mortgage loan is given final approval, most home sale closings can take place very shortly thereafter. In fact, some mortgage lenders may be comfortable with home sale closings two to three days after a mortgage loan application's final approval. Generally, though, it usually takes about a week after final mortgage loan approval before a home's sale closing takes place. Initial Closing Date. It's common for real estate buyers and sellers to mutually agree to a closing date. For example, when offering to purchase a home you might ask its seller to agree to close within 30 days. <P> If the price for the purchase and sale of the real property has been agreed to as well as the contingencies, etc., that are in the written contract, signed and dated by the seller and the buyer, the situation is then known as the “parties being in contract”. <P> After you've made an offer to buy a house, the seller will accept your offer, make a counteroffer with one or more changes, or reject the offer outright. Enter Your Zip Code to Connect with a Lawyer Serving Your Area. After you've made an offer to buy a house, the seller will accept your offer, make a counteroffer with one or more changes, or reject the offer outright. We'll describe here how this will all play out. <P> How long it takes to find the home depends on your market inventory and your personal preference. The average client of mine finds a home in as little as one week to 4 weeks. From that period when we find the home and go under contract you are looking at another 30 to 45 days to close in most cases. Depending on your personal circumstances I would definitely give yourself some buffer room. <P> With that said, interest rates are historically low and now could be the best time to purchase a home. If you are thinking of purchasing a home, I would suggest you start looking now. It is hard to say how long it will take for you to purchase a home. I know a couple that started looking for a house in January, and still have not closed. I know another guy that started looking, offered and closed the transaction within 3 weeks. My opinion would be start now. You never know how long it will take in todays market. If you find a house you like that is a short sale then it could take at least 2 months. I have clients that start 4-6 months looking <P> When you get 75 days out from your move in date, I would start actively touring the homes in the price range and area you like. In our area, if you start sooner those homes will be gone before you are ready to write a contract. From writing a contract to possession it is 30 to 45 days. The average client of mine finds a home in as little as one week to 4 weeks. From that period when we find the home and go under contract you are looking at another 30 to 45 days to close in most cases. Depending on your personal circumstances I would definitely give yourself some buffer room.

Explain what an embedded computer system is
|
<P> ANSWER: An embedded system is a single-purpose computer built into a larger system for the purposes of controlling and monitoring the system [1]. A general purpose computer (e.g. a personal computer) is defined not to be an embedded system. <P> Definition of:embedded system. Any electronic system that uses a computer chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems use microcontrollers (MCUs) or microprocessors (MPUs), or they may use custom-designed chips. In embedded systems, the software typically resides in firmware, such as a flash memory or read-only memory (ROM) chip, in contrast to a general-purpose computer that loads its programs into random access memory (RAM) each time. <P> Embedded Systems. Definition: An embedded system is a combination of hardware and software which creates a dedicated computer system that performs specific, pre-defined tasks and which is encapsulated within the device it controls (if it is part of a larger device). <P> Embedded Computer Systems. An embedded system is a special-purpose system in which the computer is completely encapsulated by the device it controls. Unlike a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer, an embedded system performs pre-defined tasks, usually with very specific requirements. Since the system is dedicated to a specific task, design engineers can optimize it, reducing the size and cost of the product. Embedded systems are often mass-produced, so the cost savings may be multiplied by millions of items. <P> A specialized computer system that is part of a larger system or machine. Typically, an embedded system is housed on a single microprocessor board with the programs stored in ROM. Virtually all appliances that have a digital interface -- watches, microwaves, VCRs, cars -- utilize embedded systems. <P> An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today. Embedded systems range from no user interface at all, in systems dedicated only to one task, to complex graphical user interfaces that resemble modern computer desktop operating systems. Simple embedded devices use buttons, LEDs, graphic or character LCDs (HD44780 LCD for example) with a simple menu system. <P> An embedded system can be defined as a control system or computer system designed to perform a specific task. Common examples of embedded systems include MP3 players, navigation systems on aircraft and intruder alarm systems. Most embedded systems are time critical applications meaning that the embedded system is working in an environment where timing is very important: the results of an operation are only relevant if they take place in a specific time frame. An autopilot in an aircraft is a time critical embedded system. <P> An embedded system is a computer that has been built to solve only a few very specific problems and is not easily changed. In contrast, a general-purpose computer can do many different jobs, and can be changed at any time with new programs for new jobs. An embedded system usually does not look like a computer, often there is no keyboard or monitor or mouse. But like any computer it has a processor and software, input and output. The word embedded means it is built into the system. <P> Since the embedded system is dedicated to specific tasks, design engineers can optimize it to reduce the size and cost of the product and increase the reliability and performance. Some embedded systems are mass-produced, benefiting from economies of scale. Embedded systems range from no user interface at all, in systems dedicated only to one task, to complex graphical user interfaces that resemble modern computer desktop operating systems. Simple embedded devices use buttons, LEDs, graphic or character LCDs (HD44780 LCD for example) with a simple menu system.

The lotus flower is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols in the religion, and is one of the most important images in the faith. The roots of a lotus flower extend into the mud and the stem grows up through the water and the flower blossoms above the surface <P> The ultimate lotus flower meaning in the Hindu belief system is that the lotus flower symbol represents awakening to the spiritual reality of life. The opening of a lotus flower represents rising from primal thought and base energies to highest spiritual consciousness. The lotus flower in Hinduism has many layers of symbolism. The lotus appears in creation stories, enlightenment stories, and in association with the chakras. Like the Egyptian lotus flower symbolism mentioned on the last page, Hindus have a creation story with a lotus as well. <P> Perhaps one of the strongest associations of the lotus flower with religion is that that is observed in Hinduism. In this religion the lotus flower meaning is associated with beauty, fertility, prosperity, spirituality, and eternity. The most common lotus form seen in Hinduism is the white lotus flower. Many of the gods and goddesses of Hinduism are linked to the flower, for example the goddess of prosperity, Laxmi, is usually depicted as being seated atop a fully opened lotus flower. Another interesting fact about the lotus flower meaning to the Egyptians was the way that it was used as a symbol for the unification of the two Egyptian kingdoms, that is to say the bonding of upper and lower Egypt. <P> In Hindu, Buddhist and Egyptian religions, the lotus is considered a sacred flower. Among its many meanings and significance, the lotus is a symbol of spontaneous generation, and so it also represents divine birth, spiritual development and creation itself. The lotus also represents purity and non-attachment, and is a symbol of Bhakti or love for God. Most people let their love flow towards the mundan world. But a devotee redirects his love only towards God, who resides with in one s heart. <P> The Lotus, the national flower of India, is a symbol of supreme reality. Hindu religion and mythology portray goddess Saraswathi, the muse of learning, as being seated on a lotus flower. To the Indian psyche, the lotus is more than a flower – it represents both beauty and non-attachment. <P> In the Hindu religion, the Lotus flower is an flower that with every god and goddess. The Supreme Personality … of Godhead, Vishnu, holds the lotus flower. Other Goddess and God holds the lotus flower. The Lotus Flower is the symbol of Peace. The Lotus was an important symbol for Ancient Egypt because it is the only flower which fruits and flowers at the same time. They considered it a symbol of creation, the sun, and rebirth. In Christianity, the white lotus symbolizes the Virgin Mary. <P> The Lotus Flower, Hindu God's Favorite Flower. Both in worship and in portrayals of the divine, Hindus are infatuated with lotus flowers. The very name of the Hindu worship ritual, puja, can be translated as flower act.. The lotus is the foremost symbol of beauty, prosperity and fertility. According to Hinduism, within each human is the spirit of the sacred lotus. It represents eternity, purity, divinity, and is widely used as a symbol of life, fertility, ever-renewing youth. For Buddhists, the lotus flower symbolizes the most exalted state of human; head held high, pure and undefiled in the sun, feet rooted in the world of experience. There is a story that the lotus arose from the navel of God Vishnu, and at the center of the flower sat Brahma. <P> Lotus Flower is one of the most popular symbols in Hindu religion. It is believed that Lord Brahma emerged from the navel of Lord Vishnu sitting on a lotus. Goddess Saraswati, the Hindu Goddess of learning, is shown sitting on a lotus. Lotus flower is a symbol of eternity, plenty and good fortune and Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, is usually depicted with a lotus flower. Lotus flower is frequently mentioned in the ancient Sanskrit Hindu scriptures, as padma (pink lotus), kamala (red lotus), pundarika (white lotus) and utpala (blue lotus). The earliest reference can be found in the Rg Veda. Numerous gods and goddess in Hindu pantheon are depicted as sitting on the lotus or carrying it.

what is dry is
|
<P> Dry ice, sometimes referred to as cardice (chiefly British chemists), is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It is used primarily as a cooling agent. Its advantages include lower temperature than that of water ice and not leaving any residue (other than incidental frost from moisture in the atmosphere). As a result, the extreme cold causes the liquid to solidify into a snow-like consistency. Finally, the snow-like solid carbon dioxide is compressed into either small pellets or larger blocks of dry ice. <P> The Web's leading source of Information about Dry Ice For locations to buy dry ice & Storage Containers Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide, a normal part of our earth's atmosphere. It is the gas that we exhale during breathing and the gas that plants use in photosynthesis. <P> The drying process for doing laundry at home is either hanging clothes on a clothesline or tumbling them in a gas-or electric-heated dryer. Dry cleaning, on the other hand, is different. It's a process that cleans clothes without water. The cleaning fluid that is used is a liquid, and all garments are immersed and cleaned in a liquid solvent -- the fact that there is no water is why the process is called dry.. <P> Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a chemical solvent other than water. The solvent used is typically tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), which the industry calls perc or PERC. It is used to clean delicate fabrics that cannot withstand the rough and tumble of a washing machine and clothes dryer; it can also eliminate labor-intensive hand washing. A dry-cleaning machine is similar to a combination of a domestic washing machine and clothes dryer. Garments are placed in the washing or extraction chamber (referred to as the basket or drum), which constitutes the core of the machine. <P> Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO 2), comprising two oxygen atoms bonded to a single carbon atom. As a result, the extreme cold causes the liquid to solidify into a snow-like consistency. Finally, the snow-like solid carbon dioxide is compressed into either small pellets or larger blocks of dry ice. <P> Answer: Dry ice is the common name for the solid form of carbon dioxide. Originally the term ' dry ice ' was a trademark for the solid carbon dioxide produced by Prest Air Devices (1925), but now it refers to any solid carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a natural component of air. Dry ice is safe to use for smoke machines and lab experiments, providing care is taken to avoid frostbite. When the pressure is released, some of the liquid will transition into a gas, cooling some of the liquid into dry ice frost or snow, which can be collected and pressed into pellets or blocks. This is similar to what happens when you get frost on the nozzle of a CO 2 fire extinguisher. <P> syn: dry, arid both mean without moisture. dry is the general word indicating absence of water or freedom from moisture, which may be favorable or unfavorable: a dry well; a dry bath towel. arid suggests intense dryness in a region or climate, resulting in bareness or in barrenness: arid tracts of desert. 2. having or characterized by little or no rain: the dry season. 3. characterized by absence, deficiency, or failure of natural or ordinary moisture. 4. not under, in, or on water: to be on dry land. 5. not now containing or yielding water or other liquid; depleted or empty of liquid: The well is dry. <P> dry. 1. free from moisture or excess moisture; not moist; not wet. 2. having or characterized by little or no rain: the dry season. 3. characterized by absence, deficiency, or failure of natural or ordinary moisture. 4. not under, in, or on water: to be on dry land. 5. not now containing or yielding water or other liquid; depleted or empty of liquid: The well is dry. <P> In addition, inflammation of the surface of the eye may occur along with dry eye. If left untreated, this condition can lead to pain, ulcers, or scars on the cornea, and some loss of vision. However, permanent loss of vision from dry eye is uncommon. Dry eye can make it more difficult to perform some activities, such as using a computer or reading for an extended period of time, and it can decrease tolerance for dry environments, such as the air inside an airplane.

what minerals are in basalt
|
<P> Basalt is fine-grained so that the individual minerals are not visible, but they include pyroxene, plagioclase feldspar and olivine. These minerals are visible in the coarse-grained, plutonic version of basalt called gabbro. <P> Basalt. Basalt is a very common dark-colored volcanic rock composed of calcic plagioclase (usually labradorite), clinopyroxene (augite) and iron ore (titaniferous magnetite). Basalt may also contain olivine, quartz, hornblende, nepheline, orthopyroxene, etc. Basalt is a volcanic equivalent of gabbro. <P> Basalt is a dark-colored, fine-grained, igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene minerals. It most commonly forms as an extrusive rock, such as a lava flow, but can also form in small intrusive bodies, such as an igneous dike or a thin sill. It has a composition similar to gabbro. <P> Basalt a mafic extrusive rock, is the most widespread of all igneous rocks, and comprises more than 90% of all volcanic rocks. Because of its relatively low silica content, basalt lava has a comparatively low viscosity, and forms thin flows that can travel long distances. It is also found as intrusive dikes and sills. <P> Basalt Rocks. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock that is very dark in color. It is the most common type of rock in the Earth's crust and it makes up most of the ocean floor. It is made of many dark colored minerals such as pyroxene and olivine. Basalt also contains some light colored minerals such as feldspar and quartz, but the amounts are small. Typically, you can't see most of the mineral crystals without using a microscope because quick cooling prevents large crystals from forming. <P> The most abundant minerals in granite are potassium feldspar, plagioclase feldspar, and quartz; with differing amounts of muscovite, biotite, and hornblende-type amphiboles. … The most abundant minerals in basalt are amphibole and pyroxene, sometimes plagioclase, feldspathoids, and/or olivine.

what are travel associated infections
|
<P> Although travel within Europe is probably associated with milder illness than is travel outside of the region, infection occurring in Europe is likely to be underestimated because most European travellers travel within Europe only. I read with interest the Article by Patricia Schlagenhauf and colleagues x1 See all References 1 about travel-associated infection presenting in Europe. <P> Ten patients acquired their dengue infections during travel to areas of the United States in which dengue is endemic (Puerto Rico [six] and U.S. Virgin Islands [two]) or to a U.S. location where an outbreak was occurring (Hawaii during May 27, 2001--January 30, 2002 [two]) (5). Previous dengue infection increases the risk for DHF in a patient with subsequent dengue infection. Dengue shock syndrome is DHF with signs of circulatory failure, including narrow pulse pressure (. 20 mm Hg), hypotension, or shock, and can result in a case-fatality rate of approximately 10% (8). <P> A healthcare-associated infection is an infection that is acquired after contact with the healthcare services. This is most frequently after treatment in a hospital, but can also happen after treatment in outpatient clinics, nursing homes and other healthcare settings. Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can cause mild to severe illness. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath and fever. The majority of patients who are treated for pneumonia in hospital are admitted with the infection (having accquired pneumonia in the community). <P> The purpose of this Bulletin is to raise awareness about travel-associated infectious disease threats through the presentation of several recent travel-associated infections and the provision of some travelers’ health reminders. • Schedule an appointment to see a health care provider 4–6 • Get the appropriate travel vaccines. Examples of travel-associated vaccines that might be indicated in addition to the routinely recommended vaccines in the United States include rabies, typhoid, and yellow fever vaccines. <P> * lymph (LIMF) nodes are small, bean-shaped masses of tissue that contain immune system cells that fight harmful microorganisms. Lymph nodes may swell during infections. * shock is a serious condition in which blood pressure is very low and not enough blood flows to the body's organs and tissues. A bite from an infected mosquito can transmit filariasis (fih-luh-RYE-uh-sis), a parasitic disease that affects the lymphatic system * . When the infected mosquito feeds, tiny worms pass from it to the person, where they travel to and grow in the lymph vessels. <P> Please note: An erratum has been published for this article. To view the erratum, please click here. Dengue is a mosquito-transmitted, acute viral disease caused by any of the four dengue virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4). Dengue is endemic in most tropical and subtropical areas of the world and has occurred in U.S. residents returning from travel to such areas (1--3). CDC maintains a laboratory-based passive surveillance system for travel-associated dengue among U.S. residents*. Previous dengue infection increases the risk for DHF in a patient with subsequent dengue infection. Dengue shock syndrome is DHF with signs of circulatory failure, including narrow pulse pressure (. 20 mm Hg), hypotension, or shock, and can result in a case-fatality rate of approximately 10% (8). <P> A careful travel history can help to distinguish the traveler's risk of having contracted an exotic infection, including malaria, dengue fever, and typhoid fever. The most common travel-related infection is traveler's diarrhea. A discussion of typical and rare conditions is provided, grouped by the three most common chief complaints of fever, diarrhea, and rash. <P> Some travel-related infections are spread through the bites of insects, such as mosquitoes (which carry malaria, mah-LAIR-e-uh, and yellow fever) or flies (for example, the tsetse, SET-see, fly can carry trypanosomiasis, trih-pan-o-so-MY-uh-sis). A bite from an infected mosquito can transmit filariasis (fih-luh-RYE-uh-sis), a parasitic disease that affects the lymphatic system * . When the infected mosquito feeds, tiny worms pass from it to the person, where they travel to and grow in the lymph vessels. <P> Travel-associated infections in migrants are complex for various reasons. Epidemiology can be affected by changing trends in the migrant's country of origin, such as those with HIV originating from sub-Saharan countries. I read with interest the Article by Patricia Schlagenhauf and colleagues x1 See all References 1 about travel-associated infection presenting in Europe.

where does the water that is produced by cellular respiration go
|
<P> Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to transfer energy from the organic molecules in food to ATP. The following equation summarizes the chemical changes that occur in cellular respiration of the monosaccharide glucose when oxygen is available. <P> Cellular respiration produces water, carbon dioxide and energy in the form of ATP. The chemical equation for it (which shows the products) is shown below. <P> Cellular Respiration is the process where living organisms gathers the energy in food molecules to make energy. Heterotrophs, organisms that must get energy from food indirectly from sunlight or inorganic substances, go through the process of cellular respiration to get the energy needed. This energy comes from food. <P> Water is a bi product in several cellular respiration processes including glycolosis. water is produced in step 9 from to 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphenalpyruvate. water is also a product of the citric acid cycle. these cycles are what produce the ATP required for normal cellular function. <P> Water is formed in the Kreb's Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle when Citric acid is converted to cis-acotinic acid. Water, however, is formed mainly during Oxidative Phosphorylation in the Cristae of the Mitochondria. <P> The energy released is captured in the form of ATP (3 ATP per NADH and 2 ATP per FADH 2). The electron transport chain (ETC) consists of a series of molecules, mostly proteins, embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The glucose required for cellular respiration is produced by plants. <P> Cellular respiration is the process by which cells get their energy in the form of ATP. There are two types of cellular respiration, aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration is more efficient and can be utilized in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen. <P> Carbon dioxide is the by-product of cellular respiration. This gas is produced in the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and as a by-product of the citric acid cycle. <P> Cellular respiration is the process by which the chemical energy of food molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved.

<P> Effected means executed, produced, or brought about. For example, The dictatorial regime quickly effected changes to the constitution that restricted the freedom of the people. On the other hand, affected means made an impact on. It is the past tense of the verb form of affect, which means to impact. <P> Meaning of Affect and Effect. In order to understand the correct situation in which to use the word affect or effect, the first thing one must do is have a clear understanding of what each word means. 1 Affect is a verb. 2 It means to produce a change in or influence something. 3 Effect is a noun that can also be used as a verb. <P> affect 2 is not used as a noun; as a verb it means “to pretend” or “to assume” (new students affecting a nonchalance they didn't feel). The verb effect means “to bring about, accomplish”: Her administration effected radical changes. The noun effect means “result, consequence”: the serious effects of the oil spill. <P> Affect means to have an influence on something. Affect is normally a verb. Effect is the result of an influence or change. Effect is normally a noun. They are related in t … hat when something affects something else, it produces an effect on it. The word affect has a noun meaning related to psychology and emotion. The word effect has a verb meaning, which is to create, bring about, or institute. <P> In order to understand the correct situation in which to use the word affect or effect, the first thing one must do is have a clear understanding of what each word means. 1 Affect is a verb. 2 It means to produce a change in or influence something. 3 Effect is a noun that can also be used as a verb.

The cerebral hemisphere is one half of the cerebrum, the part of the brain that controls muscle functions and also controls speech, thought, emotions, reading, writing, and learning. <P> Emotional lateralization is the asymmetrical representation of emotional control and processing in the brain. There is evidence for the lateralization of other brain functions as well. Emotions are complex and involve a variety of physical and cognitive responses, many of which are not well understood. The general purpose of emotions is to produce a specific response to a stimulus. <P> Cerebrum: Much of your brain function takes place in the cerebral cortex, or outer layer of the cerebrum. It's the assembly line of human thought where all the heavy work gets done. Left hemisphere: Controls your concrete side: speech, writing, language, and calculation. The cerebrum is divided into the left and right cerebral hemispheres. The right hemisphere controls the muscles on the left side of the body. The left hemisphere controls the muscles on the righ <P> The cerebrum is a large part of the brain containing the cerebral cortex (of the two cerebral hemispheres), as well as several subcortical structures, including the hippocampus, basal ganglia, and olfactory bulb. In humans, the cerebrum is the superior-most region of the central nervous system. <P> The researchers conclude that the brain is not as compartmentalized as previously thought, and that different parts of the brain overlap and can share responsibilities. While emotions may be controlled by the right side of the brain, the left side is not left out when it comes to processing emotions. Future studies can determine what other parts of the brain process emotions in books or television. The study was published in Neuropsychologia. While recognizing emotions was associated with atrophy of parts of the right side of the brain, recognizing musical, and not facial, expressions of music was associated with parts of the left side that were connected to language. <P> It controls reading, thinking, learning, speech, and emotions. The cerebrum is divided into the left and right cerebral hemispheres. The right hemisphere controls the muscles on the left side of the body. The left hemisphere controls the muscles on the right side of the body. Cerebellum: The cerebellum controls balance for walking and standing, and other complex ac <P> The right and left hemispheres of the brain are joined by a bundle of fibers called the corpus callosum that delivers messages from one side to the other. Each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body. If a brain tumor is located on the right side of the brain, your left arm or leg may be weak or paralyzed. Not all functions of the hemispheres are shared. In general, the left hemisphere controls speech, comprehension, arithmetic, and writing. The brain is composed of three parts: the brainstem, cerebellum, and cerebrum. The cerebrum is divided into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital. 1 The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement. The cerebellum is located under the cerebrum <P> Normally, Dr. Fedio says, the brain's two hemispheres work in tandem to judge emotions around us so we can make the right response. The right brain functions like radar, scanning for the blip on the screen — signs of negative emotion or danger — and alerts the left side. <P> Cerebrum. The cerebrum (supratentorial or front of brain) is composed of the right and left hemispheres. Functions of the cerebrum include: initiation of movement, coordination of movement, temperature, touch, vision, hearing, judgment, reasoning, problem solving, emotions, and learning. Brainstem. The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain is an important organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, respirations, temperature, hunger, and every process that regulates our body.

how long are you contagious with flu
|
<P> Children may pass the virus for longer than 7 days. Symptoms start 1 to 4 days after the virus enters the body. Information about how long a person is contagious is available at How Flu Spreads. Fever, chills, fatigue, body aches, sore throat, and headache are common symptoms of flu. Not everyone with flu will have a fever. The flu can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The flu is different from a cold. <P> However, the viruses that cause colds (for example, rhinoviruses) are not the same as those that cause the flu (influenza viruses). Although the typical incubation period for influenza is about one to four days, some adults can be contagious from about one day before onset of symptoms for up to two weeks. Other people who develop complications, such as pneumonia, may extend the contagious period for a week or two. For colds, most individuals become contagious about a day before cold symptoms develop and remain contagious for about five to seven days. <P> You can be contagious from a few days up to two weeks or more, depending on which virus is causing your stomach flu (gastroenteritis). A number of viruses can cause gastroenteritis, including noroviruses and rotaviruses. 1 Symptoms usually appear within one to two days of exposure. 2 Although you typically feel better after a day or two, you're contagious for up to three days after you've recovered. 3 Some people may be contagious for up to two weeks after recovery. 4 Rotavirus. <P> Most experts agree that adults with a cold or the flu start being contagious about a day before they start experiencing symptoms. For the flu, the contagious period then lasts five to seven days into the illness. For children, the contagious period for the flu can last up to two weeks after they start feeling sick, even if they start feeling better before that. The contagious period for a cold lasts about three to four days into the illness. As a general rule, people with a cold are most contagious about three days after their initial exposure to the virus. For more information on colds, influenza and related topics, check out the links on the next page. Print. <P> Flu Contagious Period. Flu starts being contagious about 24 hours before you have symptoms. You're most contagious when you first get sick and for the following 2 to 3 days. The severity of your symptoms correlates to how many new viruses are being produced, so you're less contagious as you start to feel better. Most people stop being infectious approximately 5 to 7 days after getting sick, but you can remain contagious for as long as 10 days. <P> The flu is contagious a day before and five days to a week after its onset. Young children, people over 65, those with compromised immune systems, and people with a terminal illness are at risk of death from the flu. Pregnant women are also at greater risk. The flu can also cause premature birth. <P> A. THe CDC says 'Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Children may pass the virus for longer than 7 days.'. Remember that some people who get the flu may not have symptoms and can spread the virus too. 18 Followers. A. You may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. <P> The Flu Is Contagious. Most healthy adults may be able to infect other people beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Children may pass the virus for longer than 7 days. Symptoms start 1 to 4 days after the virus enters the body. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Some people can be infected with the flu virus but have no symptoms. People with flu can spread it to others up to about 6 feet away. Most experts think that flu viruses are spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

how do i use sunpass on peach pass roads
|
<P> 1 The transponder that works on the I-85 Express Lanes will also provide access to Florida and North Carolina toll roads via the SunPass, Leeway Pass and E-Pass and NC Quick Pass lanes. 2 Your Peach Pass transponder must be tied to a valid and current license plate. <P> Conversely, any toll road in Florida that accepts SunPass, will now accept all Peach Pass and NC Quick Pass transponders. Peach Pass and NC Quick Pass motorists traveling in Florida will need to utilize the clearly marked, SunPass-only lanes located throughout Florida’s toll road system. <P> For now, SunPass only works outside Florida on a Raleigh, N.C.-area toll road. Drivers from the Tar Heel state similarly can pay for tolls in Florida using their Quick Pass, part of the Northeast's larger E-ZPass system that operates in 15 states. <P> SunPass, which is run by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, also is compatible with E-Pass, which is the transponder system operated by the expressway authority. North Carolina, which has Quick Pass, entered into a similar arrangement with Florida in July, 2013. <P> Motorists can use their home state transponder to pay tolls on the I-85 Express Lanes in Georgia, the all-electronic Triangle Expressway in North Carolina and more than 700 miles of toll roads in Florida with their Sun Pass. <P> The Future of Interoperability. Currently, Peach Pass can be used on toll roads in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina only. In the coming months and years, the number of states in which the Peach Pass is interoperable will continue to expand to include the E-Z Pass network throughout the Northeast. <P> Florida transponders now work in Georgia and North Carolina. SunPass, Florida's electronic transponder system, now works on toll roads in Georgia, said a Wednesday release from the two states. <P> Some time after that, SunPass and Georgia's Peach Pass, which works on toll roads in Atlanta, will become compatible. Officials hope these deals will lead to agreements with states that use the much bigger E-Zpass, which has nearly 23 million transponders in circulation.

what is a length of a day
|
<P> Our solar day is 24 hours, which, generally speaking, is the length of time which elapses between the Sun reaching its highest point in the sky two consecutive times. Our sidereal day is 23 hours and 56 minutes, which is so close to our solar day that we often fail to distinguish between the two. A sidereal day is the length of time which passes between a given fixed star in the sky crossing a given projected meridian (line of longitude). <P> Since the planets spin on their axes at different rates and travel about the Sun at different speeds as well, the length of one day is different for each planet. For example, on Earth the length of a solar day is 24 hours. But because of its slow rotation and its rapid orbital speed, one solar day on Mercury lasts about as long as 176 days on Earth. Our sidereal day is 23 hours and 56 minutes, which is so close to our solar day that we often fail to distinguish between the two. A sidereal day is the length of time which passes between a given fixed star in the sky crossing a given projected meridian (line of longitude). <P> The length of one (solar) day on a planet is the time from noon to noon. Our sidereal day is 23 hours and 56 minutes, which is so close to our solar day that we often fail to distinguish between the two. A sidereal day is the length of time which passes between a given fixed star in the sky crossing a given projected meridian (line of longitude). <P> THE MEANING OF DAY. Those who argue that the word day means long age, point out that the Hebrew word, yom, can have a number of meanings, only one of which is day of 24 hours. 1 They further seek to strengthen their position with the use of Psalm 90:4 and II Peter 3:8, comparing a day to a thousand years. God did not leave the length of the creation days open to question. He told us the exact length of each day. In Exodus 20:11, He said that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them and rested on the seventh day.. The context of the statement is an emphatic command. <P> For Mars, the year is nearly twice as long as ours, 686.98 days, and the rotation period is a little longer than ours, 24 hours 37 minutes 22.66 seconds (this is often erroneously listed as the length of the day). For planets which are even further out, the motion around the Sun is even smaller and the time required to compensate for it is only a few seconds. For Jupiter the difference between the rotation period and the length of the day is about 3 seconds; and for Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, the difference is about 1 second. <P> A day is a unit of time. In common usage, it is an interval equal to 24 hours. It also can mean the consecutive period of time during which the Sun is above the horizon, also known as daytime. The period of time during which the Earth completes one rotation with respect to the Sun is called a solar day. This phenomenon is due to tides raised by the Moon which slow Earth's rotation. Because of the way the second is defined, the mean length of a day is now about 86 400.002 seconds, and is increasing by about 1.7 milliseconds per century (an average over the last 2 700 years). <P> It is always harder to determine the length of a day of a gas giant than it is to determine the length of a day of a terrestrial planet. Saturn’s day was measured at 10 hours 39 minutes and 24 seconds in the ‘80s. Then it was measured at approximately 10 hours 45 minutes and 45 seconds. A day on Venus is 243 Earth days. Venus’ day is actually longer than its year. It only takes 224.7 Earth days for the planet to orbit the Sun. We measure a day on Earth as a period of 24 hours, but it actually takes the planet 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds to rotate on its axis. This measurement is actually called a sidereal day and is the length of time it takes the Earth to come back to the same position relative to the star <P> We are accustomed to thinking of a day as a period of 24 hours. However, that definition is a narrow one that only applies to our own planet. A day is the length of time it takes for a planet to complete one rotation on its axis – 360°. Since all of the planets rotate at different speeds, the length of a day on each one differs. planets of our Solar System. Compared to Earth, Mercury has a very long day. A day on Venus is 243 Earth days. Venus’ day is actually longer than its year. It only takes 224.7 Earth days for the planet to orbit the Sun. We measure a day on Earth as a period of 24 hours, but it actually takes the planet 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds to rotate on its axis. This measurement is actually called a sidereal day and is the length of time it takes the Earth to come back to the same position relative to the stars <P> On average over the year this day is equivalent to 24 hours (86 400 seconds). A day, in the sense of daytime that is distinguished from night-time, is commonly defined as the period during which sunlight directly reaches the ground, assuming that there are no local obstacles. This phenomenon is due to tides raised by the Moon which slow Earth's rotation. Because of the way the second is defined, the mean length of a day is now about 86 400.002 seconds, and is increasing by about 1.7 milliseconds per century (an average over the last 2 700 years).

what types of receptors are found in the skin
|
<P> Skin receptors, also called cutaneous receptors, are part of the somatosensory system. They detect pressure, temperature, and vibrations on or around the skin. Cutaneous mechanoreceptors respond to pressure sensations on the skin and include Merkel's corpuscles, Meissner's corpuscles, and bulboid corpuscles. Receptors that detect temperature are made up of free nerve endings on the skin and are called thermoreceptors. Pain receptors on the skin are also free nerve endings called nociceptors. <P> Two types of transient receptors are found in hairy skin. Pacinian corpuscle receptors are associated with the peripheral ends of certain type A alpha and beta fibers. They respond to mechanical taps and vibrations in the 50- to 500-Hz range. Four types of velocity receptors are found in hairy skin. G2 hair receptors are the peripheral ends of type A beta fibers terminating around the base of guard hairs in the base of hair follicles. They respond to both slow and rapid movement of hairs and deflection of the skin. <P> There are not tow types of sensory receptors in the skin there are many types of sensory receptors in the skin i.e., in the CUTANEOUS RECEPTORS of the MECHANORECEPTORS. … They are the: Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's disc, Paccinian corpuscles, Ruffini's end organs, Free Nerve Endings and Hari Follicel Organs. There are four different types of receptors in the skin. There are merkel receptors, meissner corpuscles, ruffini cylinders and pacinian corpuscles. <P> The cutaneous receptors are the types of sensory receptor found in the dermis or epidermis. They are a part of the somatosensory system. Cutaneous receptors include e.g. cutaneous mechanoreceptors, nociceptors (pain) and thermoreceptors (temperature). With the above-mentioned receptor types the skin can sense the modalities touch, pressure, vibration, temperature and pain. The modalities and their receptors are partly overlapping, and are innervated by different kinds of fiber types. <P> Confidence votes 6.2K. Sensory receptors in the skin (cutaneous receptors) are generally of the mechanoreceptor, nociceptor, and thermoreceptor types. Mechanoreceptors sense pressure (such as touch) and vibrations and for example include Meissner corpuscles, Merkel disks, Ruffini corpuscles and Pacinian corpuscles. There are four different types of receptors in the skin. There are merkel receptors, meissner corpuscles, ruffini cylinders and pacinian corpuscles. <P> The sensory receptors in the skin, such as Meissner's and Pacinian corpuscles, as well as free nerve endings, are classified as general sensory receptors. 1 In slides 21 and 35 of the skin, sensory nerve endings are inside Pacinian and Meissner's corpuscles. 2 Pacinian or lamellar corpuscles, which are encapsulated receptors for deep pressure, are found in the dense connective tissue of the dermis below the epithelium in slide 21. <P> The sensory receptors in the skin are: 1 cutaneous mechanoreceptors. 2 Ruffini's end organ (sustained pressure). 3 Meissner's corpuscle (changes in texture, slow vibrations). 4 Pacinian corpuscle (deep pressure, fast vibrations). With the above-mentioned receptor types the skin can sense the modalities touch, pressure, vibration, temperature and pain. The modalities and their receptors are partly overlapping, and are innervated by different kinds of fiber types. <P> List the sensory receptors found in the dermis of the skin: free nerve endings for pain, temperature, messiners corpuscles for touch in the hairless skin, pacinian corpuscles for pressure. 25.

<P> Zedi redirects here. For people named Zedi, see Zedi (name) . Stupa in Gotemba, Shizuoka, Japan. A stupa (Sanskrit: m., stūpa heap) is a mound-like or hemispherical structure containing śarīra relics, typically the remains of Buddhist monks or nuns, used as a place of meditation. Built for a variety of reasons, Buddhist stupas are classified based on form and function into five types: 1 Relic stupa, in which the relics or remains of the Buddha, his disciples and lay saints are interred. <P> Section of Stupa with dimensions. The Buddhist vihara at Sanchi, famous for its Great Stupa is located at Sanchi Town in Raisen District of the state of Madhya Pradesh, India, it is 46 Km north-east of Bhopal. The 'Great Stupa' at Sanchi is the oldest structure and was originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka the Great in the 3rd century BCE. Its nucleus was a hemispherical brick structure built over the relics of the Buddha. It was crowned by the chatra, a parasol-like structure symbolising high rank. <P> The shape of the stupa represents the Buddha, crowned and sitting in meditation posture on a lion throne. His crown is the top of the spire; his head is the square at the spire's base; his body is the vase shape; his legs are the four steps of the lower terrace; and the base is his throne..

This is the Great Stupa at Sanchi, located on a hill in the countryside of central India just north of presentday Bhopal. It is the largest of several stupas at the site, which also includes the remains of several monastic buildings, including dining halls and pilgrim rooms <P> (Professor Robert Thurman, from the Foreword to Buddhist Stupas in Asia: the Shape of Perfection). Stupa is a Sanskrit word that means “to heap” or “to pile up” and refers to the mound-like shape of the earliest stupas. The Mahaparinirvana Sutra tells us that it was the Buddha himself who outlined the basic design of the stupa. <P> The stupa, an architectural structure usually housing the cremated remains or possessions of important saintly figures, is considered to be the structural emblem and the most important type of monument of Buddhism. Most stupas have a very distinctive semi-spherical shape, often surrounded by a fence. <P> The Great Stupa at Sanchi is the oldest stone structure in India and was originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka the Great in the 3rd century BCE.

if an industry is perfectly competitive or monopolistically competitive then the government
|
<P> Each firm in a perfectly competitive market is a price taker and can sell all of the output that it wants at the going market price, in this case $2.50. A firm is able to do this because it is a relatively small part of the market and its output is identical to that of every other firm. As such, the marginal cost curve is not the supply curve for the firm.Long-Run ProductionIn the long run, with all inputs variable, a perfectly competitive industry reaches equilibrium at the output that achieves the minimum efficient scale, that is, the minimum of the long run average cost curve. <P> Like a monopoly, a monopolistically competitive firm faces a downward sloping demand curve. Even though the product of a monopolistically competitive faces competition from many similar brands, there are differences in the brands, either actual or perceived. Consider corn flakes. Monopolistic Competition and Oligopoly. Characteristics of Monopolistic Competition. We begin our analysis by looking at a model of monopolistic competition. As the name monopolistic competition suggests, the industry shares characteristics of both a perfectly competitive industry and a monopoly. <P> University of Pacific-Economics 53 Lecture Notes #15 I. Features of Monopolistic Competition Like the name suggests, a monopolistically competitive industry has features from both a monopoly market structure and a perfectly competitive market structure.

Price and Output Determination Under Monopolistic Competition in the Long-Run One of the assumptions we made about a monopolistically competitive industry was that entry and exit in the industry is easy. <P> Like perfect competition, a monopolistic competitive industry has many firms, or if there are not many firms, there are at least many competing products that are almost identical in nature. Monopolistic Competition and Oligopoly. Characteristics of Monopolistic Competition. We begin our analysis by looking at a model of monopolistic competition. As the name monopolistic competition suggests, the industry shares characteristics of both a perfectly competitive industry and a monopoly. <P> In particular, a perfectly competitive firm's marginal cost curve is also its supply curve.This conclusion, however, only applies to perfect competition. Firms operating in market structures that do not equate price and marginal cost, but rather equate marginal revenue and marginal cost. As such, the marginal cost curve is not the supply curve for the firm.Long-Run ProductionIn the long run, with all inputs variable, a perfectly competitive industry reaches equilibrium at the output that achieves the minimum efficient scale, that is, the minimum of the long run average cost curve. <P> The features of a monopolistically competitive industry include: (1) Many firms. Like a perfectly competitive structure, in monopolistic competition there are a large number of firms. Each firm is small relative to the size of the market. (2) Entry is easy. Like a perfectly competitive structure, entry into an industry is not blocked. C. Price and Output Determination Under Monopolistic Competition in the Long-Run One of the assumptions we made about a monopolistically competitive industry was that entry and exit in the indus <P> Show transcribed image text If an industry is perfectly competitive or monopolistically competitive, then the government has relatively little reason for concern about a) taking advantage of economies of scale. b) regulatory recapture. <P> The existence of such perfect markets are quite rare in the real world, and the perfectly competitive marketplace is a formation of economic theory to help better understand other forms of market competition such as monopolistic and oligopolistic. Perfect competition explains an economic theory of a marketplace which does not happen to exist in reality. Summary: Perfect Competition vs Monopolistic Competition. 1 Perfect and monopolistic competitions are both forms of market situations that describe the levels of competition within a market structure. <P> Long Run Pricing and Output for the Monopolistically Competitive Firm. Unlike a monopoly industry, new firms can enter the monopolistically competitive industry. And like a perfectly competitive industry, economic profits attract new firms seeking a share of those profits into the industry. Monopolistic Competition and Oligopoly. Characteristics of Monopolistic Competition. We begin our analysis by looking at a model of monopolistic competition. As the name monopolistic competition suggests, the industry shares characteristics of both a perfectly competitive industry and a monopoly. <P> Short-run equilibrium of the firm under monopolistic competition. The firm maximizes its profits and produces a quantity where the firm's marginal revenue (MR) is equal to its marginal cost (MC). The firm is able to collect a price based on the average revenue (AR) curve. The difference between the firm's average revenue and average cost, multiplied by the quantity sold (Qs), gives the total profit. Long-run equilibrium of the firm under monopolistic competition. . A monopolistically competitive firm might be said to be marginally inefficient because the firm produces at an output where average total cost is not a minimum. A monopolistically competitive market is productively inefficient market structure because marginal cost is less than price in the long run.

Then the government has relatively little reason for concern about a) taking advantage of economies of scale.b) regulatory recapture.

what are the soil collectors used on the mars rover
|
<P> - NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has used its full array of instruments to analyze Martian soil for the first time, and found a complex chemistry within the Martian soil. <P> The rover's onboard laboratory will study rocks, soils, and the local geologic setting in order to detect chemical building blocks of life (e.g., forms of carbon) on Mars and will assess what the Martian environment was like in the past. <P> Each cubic foot of Martian soil contains about two pints of liquid water, though the molecules are bound to other minerals in the soil. Curiosity first landed on Mars in August 2012 on Gale Crater, near the equator of the planet. <P> SINTEF researchers envision a Mars rover carrying the snake much of the time, dropping the smaller robot at soil-collection sites or other areas of scientific interest. The rover could then analyze the snake-snagged soil or set it aside for transportation back to Earth. <P> Martian soil is the fine regolith found on the surface of Mars. Its properties can differ significantly from those of terrestrial soil. The term Martian soil typically refers to the finer fraction of regolith. On Earth, the term soil usually includes organic content. <P> PASADENA, Calif. - NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has used its full array of instruments to analyze Martian soil for the first time, and found a complex chemistry within the Martian soil. <P> The robotic arm on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity delivered a sample of Martian soil to the rover's observation tray for the first time on October 16, 2012. <P> This graphic shows results of the first analysis of Martian soil by the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) experiment on NASA's Curiosity rover. <P> A rendition of the proposed location of the Mars Plant Experiment (MPX) on top of a Curiosity rover image.

how much to feed a horse
|
<P> 1 Horses also need to feed on grain which costs from $12 and $22 for a 50 pound bag on the average. 2 Daily cost for grain can be placed between $0.75 and $4.80. 3 For instance, daily feed for a horse in North California area, for both hay and grain, will cost around $4 to $8 per day. 4 Monthly expenses can run to $130 to $275. 1 Basing it on pick up price, Alfalfa hay will come out $0.16 per pound multiplied by the weight of the horse, and its daily consumption will cost around $4.40 per day for hay. 2 Horses also need to feed on grain which costs from $12 and $22 for a 50 pound bag on the average. <P> 1 For instance, daily feed for a horse in North California area, for both hay and grain, will cost around $4 to $8 per day. 2 Monthly expenses can run to $130 to $275. 1 Basing it on pick up price, Alfalfa hay will come out $0.16 per pound multiplied by the weight of the horse, and its daily consumption will cost around $4.40 per day for hay. 2 Horses also need to feed on grain which costs from $12 and $22 for a 50 pound bag on the average. <P> 1 Depending on the size of your horse and the type of feed that you choose, the average horse will eat anywhere from $1.50 to $6 per day worth of food. 2 According to BackintheSaddleProject.com, weather slightly plays a role in the volume of feeding. 3 Horses are fed more in winter to keep them warm. 1 Basing it on pick up price, Alfalfa hay will come out $0.16 per pound multiplied by the weight of the horse, and its daily consumption will cost around $4.40 per day for hay. 2 Horses also need to feed on grain which costs from $12 and $22 for a 50 pound bag on the average. <P> If you’re changing the amount of feed, increase or decrease each meal a little at a time, over several weeks if possible. One method for changing the type of feed is to replace 25 percent of the current food with the new food every two days, so that in six days the horse is eating l00 percent of the new food. 3. Feed according to the horse’s needs. 1 Each horse is an individual and has different needs. 2 Two major factors for deciding how much your horse needs to eat are her size and the amount of work she does. <P> When a horse is fed too much at once, the food isn't digested as effectively. 3. Feed according to the horse’s needs. 1 Each horse is an individual and has different needs. 2 Two major factors for deciding how much your horse needs to eat are her size and the amount of work she does. <P> 1 Accustom horses to feed gradually. 2 In general, they maybe given as much hay as they will eat. 3 It is safe to start horses on 1/2 pound of grain daily for each hundred pound's of the animal's weight. 4 Thereafter, 1/2 pound of grain added to the total ration every third day is advisable. The basic ration for a horse is hay plus grain. The amount of grain a horse needs depends on the growth or performance expected. The amount of total ration is based on a consumption of 2-1/4 pounds of airdry fed per cwt. Thus a 1,000-pound horse would receive a total daily ration of 22-1/2 pounds. <P> At least 65% of this amount should be forage. In other words, a 1000 lb horse should be fed 18 lb of dry matter each day. Dry matter (DM) is the amount of feed that does not contain moisture; the DM content of hay is considerably higher than fresh grass. Your hay analysis should show the DM content of your forage. If you are feeding 100% hay and your hay contains 90% DM (or 10% moisture), your 1000 lb horse should be fed 20 lb of hay (18 lb DM/0.9) straight from the bale each day. Clearly, weighing hay is the most effective way to measure the correct amount <P> Structural carbohydrates, like hay and grass, are essential to a horse’s diet. Horses eat large quantities of hay and grass as their main source of food. In fact, horses should eat about 15-20 pounds or 1-2% of their body weight in hay every day, so make sure that your horse always has plenty of hay to chew on. In two days, replace 50% of the old feed with the new feed. Two days after that, replace 75% of the old feed with the new feed. Then two days after that you will be able to give your horse 100% new feed.

what is a normal resting heart rate
|
<P> Consult your doctor if your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats a minute (tachycardia) or if you're not a trained athlete and your resting heart rate is below 60 beats a minute (bradycardia) — especially if you have other signs or symptoms, such as fainting, dizziness or shortness of breath. With. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute. To measure your heart rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. <P> My resting heart rate used to be 60 bpm (beats per minute). Last year in my prime shape after running four marathons in four months, I had a resting heart rate of 38 bpm. That is when I am sitting watching TV. It could be lower when I am sleeping, but I have not tested this yet. Dear Brett, A heart rate of 38 beats per minute (bpm) can be normal in a well-trained endurance runner at age 60. The heart rate normally lowers at rest. And distance running over four years could cause a reduction in resting heart rate from 60 bpm to 38 bpm. <P> Most adults have a resting heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). The fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For example, athletes may have a resting heart rate of 40-60 bpm or lower. You should contact your GP if you think your heart rate is continuously above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm, although this could just be normal for you. <P> A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute. To measure your heart rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. <P> Your pulse is your heart rate, or the number of times your heart beats in one minute. 2 Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you are at rest and increases when you exercise (more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the body when you exercise). 1 A normal adult resting heart beat is between 60-100 heartbeats per minute. 2 Some experienced athletes may see their resting heartrate fall below 60 beats per minute. 3 Tachycardia refers to the heart beating too fast at rest-over 10 <P> The normal resting adult human heart rate ranges from 60–100 bpm. Tachycardia is a fast heart rate, defined as above 100 bpm at rest. Bradycardia is a slow heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest. During sleep a slow heartbeat with rates around 40–50 BPM is common and is considered normal. When the heart is not beating in a regular pattern, this is referred to as an arrhythmia. These abnormalities of heart rate sometimes indicate disease. <P> In newborn infants up to one year old, 100 to 160 bpm is normal. Children between one and 10 years old range from 70 to 120 bpm. After the age of 10, up to adults and seniors, 60 to 100 bpm are considered normal, often centered on 72 as a benchmark for healthy, resting adults. Age, sex, weight, physical conditioning and other factors work together to establish your normal heart rate. According to Medline Plus, a healthy heart rate for most adults is 60 to 100 beats per minutes. Athletes' heart rates may be as low as 40 bpm, which is healthy for them. <P> For adults 18 and older, a normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm), depending on the person’s physical condition and age. For children ages 6 to 15, the normal resting heart rate is between 70 and 100 bpm, according to the AHA. But a heart rate lower than 60 doesn’t necessarily mean you have a medical problem. Active people often have lower heart rates because their heart muscles don't need to work as hard to maintain a steady beat. Heart rate, also known as pulse, is the number of times a person's heart beats per minute. A normal heart rate depends on the individual, age, body size, heart conditions, whether the person is sitting or moving, medication use and even air temperature. Even emotions can have an impact on heart rate. <P> Normal resting heart rates range from 60–100 bpm. Bradycardia is defined as a resting heart rate below 60 bpm. However, heart rates from 50 to 60 bpm are common among healthy people and do not necessarily require special attention. Bradycardia is a slow heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest. During sleep a slow heartbeat with rates around 40–50 BPM is common and is considered normal. When the heart is not beating in a regular pattern, this is referred to as an arrhythmia. These abnormalities of heart rate sometimes indicate disease.

<P> The gastrointestinal tracts of animals and man are common sources of Salmonella. High protein foods such as meat, poultry, fish and eggs are most commonly associated with Salmonella. The gastrointestinal tracts of animals and man are common sources of Salmonella. High protein foods such as meat, poultry, fish and eggs are most commonly associated with Salmonella. However, any food that becomes contaminated and is then held at improper temperatures can cause salmonellosis.ore than 90 percent of the cases of food poisoning each year are caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Bacillus cereus, and Entero-pathogenic Escherichia coli. These bacteria are commonly found on many raw foods. <P> Symptoms typically include abdominal cramps and bloody stools. Botulism. One of the most serious causes of food poisoning is botulism, which is most commonly associated with improperly canned vegetables or cured pork and ham. This bacterium produces a neurotoxin that results in paralysis, Mena says. <P> Salmonella outbreaks are commonly associated with eggs, meat and poultry, but these bacteria can also contaminate other foods such as fruits and vegetables. Foods that are most likely to contain Salmonella include raw or undercooked eggs, raw milk, contaminated water, and raw or undercooked meats. Symptoms of Salmonella infection, or Salmonellosis, range widely, and are sometimes absent altogether. The most common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. Typical Symptoms of Salmonella infection: Appear 6 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food and last for 3 to 7 days without treatment. <P> Javiana is the fourth most common serotype associated with foodborne illness. A report on Salmonella serotypes from the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the food safety arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, indicated this strain is not often associated with products regulated by the agency.almonella Enteritidis. Enteritidis is the most common strain of Salmonella in our food supply. The increased prevalence in poultry products made Salmonella Enteritidis a food-safety issue in the 1970s. It is the serotype most often associated with poultry. <P> Causes. Salmonella bacteria live in the intestines of people, animals and birds. Most people are infected with salmonella by eating foods that have been contaminated by feces. Commonly infected foods include: 1 Raw meat, poultry and seafood. 2 Feces may get onto raw meat and poultry during the butchering process.3 Seafood may be contaminated if harvested from contaminated water. 4 Raw eggs. <P> E. coli. In the past, E. coli was commonly associated with undercooked ground beef, but recently the germ has shown up in other places as well. Outbreaks of E. coli have involved a wide variety of food, including fresh produce, beef, nuts, water, and cookie dough, to name a few, Mena says.ymptoms typically include abdominal cramps and bloody stools. Botulism. One of the most serious causes of food poisoning is botulism, which is most commonly associated with improperly canned vegetables or cured pork and ham. <P> Vermin such as rodents, roaches and flies also carry Salmonella. Salmonellosis has occurred from the consumption of contaminated foods such as cheese, milk, eggs, meat, poultry, pastries, cakes and candies. Salmonellosis is caused when we eat foods which contain the organism. This is a food infection. These organisms continue to grow and multiply in the small intestines. <P> While Salmonella is most often associated with poultry products, outbreaks are linked to a wide variety of sources, including contaminated ground beef, fruits and vegetables, dog food, turtles and hedgehogs. Scientists first identified Salmonella as a human pathogen in the late 19th Century.almonella Enteritidis. Enteritidis is the most common strain of Salmonella in our food supply.

<P> In general, realism in art and literature refers to the attempt to represent familiar and everyday people and situations in an accurate, unidealized manner. More specifically, the term realism refers to a literary and artistic movement of the late 1800's and early 1900's. This movement was a reaction against romanticism. Romanticism was an earlier movement that presented the world in much more idealized terms. Realism in Literature. <P> Realism more specifically refers to the art movement which originated in France in the early 1850s. The advocates of such movement considered themselves people who are against romanticism, a dominating French artwork and literature in the early 19th century. <P> The Realism Art Movement. Realism was an artistic movement that began in France in the 1850s, after the 1848 Revolution. Seeking to be undistorted by personal bias, Realism believed in the ideology of objective reality and revolted against the exaggerated emotionalism of the Romantic movement. Curated by. <P> NOTE: For other important historical stylistic trends like Realism, see Art Movements and Schools (from about 100 BCE). Realist Artists. Realist artists, strongly associated with the 19th century movement include: Jean-Francois Millet (1814-75), Gustave Courbet (1819-77), Honore Daumier (1808-79). <P> The realist movement in art also originated in France during the 1800's. The realists wanted to break away from the formal artistic styles and subjects of the past. So they created objective, unemotional works that were unadorned with imaginative flourishes.

what does the anterior cingulate cortex do
|
<P> Anterior cingulate cortex can further be divided in the perigenual anterior cingulate cortex (near the genu) and midcingulate cortex. The anterior cingulate cortex receives primarily its afferent axons from the intralaminar and midline thalamic nuclei (see thalamus). Dorsally is the granular area 31. The posterior cingulate cortex receives a great part of its afferent axons from the superficial nucleus (or nucleus superior-falsely LD-) of the thalamus (see thalamus), which itself receives axons from the subiculum. <P> Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) is a brain region that subserves cognition and motor control, but the mechanisms of these functions remain unknown. Human neuroimaging and monkey electrophysiology studies have provided valuable insights, but it has been difficult to link the two literatures. It refers to the same cortical region that has been called the anterior cingulate cognitive division (ACcd) (1), rostral cingulate zone (9), or midcingulate cortex (3). The dACC ROI is indicated in aqua on the coronal slice enlargement (Subject 1, Lower Left). Coronal slices are shown for subjects 2 and 3. <P> The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex that resembles a collar surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. It consists of Brodmann areas 24, 32, and 33. It appears to play a role in a wide variety of autonomic functions, such as regulating blood pressure and heart rate. It is also involved in rational cognitive functions, such as reward anticipation, decision-making, empathy, impulse control, and emotion. <P> The anterior cingulate cortex contains cells known as spindle neurons, which also have been found in the ACC and frontoinsular cortex of humans and other hominids (great apes), as well as in humpback whales, killer whales and sperm whales. It includes both the ventral and dorsal areas of the cingulate cortex, and appears to play a role in a wide variety of autonomic functions, such as regulating blood pressure and heart rate, as well as rational cognitive functions, such as reward anticipation, decision-making, empathy and emotion. <P> MeSH. [1]. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex, that resembles a collar form around the corpus callosum, the fibrous bundle that relays neural signals between the right and left cerebral hemispheres of the brain. It includes both the ventral and dorsal areas of the cingulate cortex, and appears to play a role in a wide variety of autonomic functions, such as regulating blood pressure and heart rate, as well as rational cognitive functions, such as reward anticipation, decision-making, empathy and emotion. <P> The affect division of anterior cingulate cortex modulates autonomic activity and internal emotional responses, while the cognition division is engaged in response selection associated with skeletomotor activity and responses to noxious stimuli. Excessive cingulate activity in cases with seizures confirmed in anterior cingulate cortex with subdural electrode recordings, can impair consciousness, alter affective state and expression, and influence skeletomotor and autonomic activity. <P> The cingulate cortex, also known as limbic cortex, is a part of the brain situated in the medial aspect of the cerebral cortex. The cingulate cortex includes the entire cingulate gyrus, which lies immediately above the corpus callosum, and the continuation of this in the cingulate sulcus. Dorsally is the granular area 31. The posterior cingulate cortex receives a great part of its afferent axons from the superficial nucleus (or nucleus superior-falsely LD-) of the thalamus (see thalamus), which itself receives axons from the subiculum. <P> Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) lies on the medial surfaces of the brain's frontal lobes and encompasses subdivisions that play key roles in cognitive, motor, and emotional processing (1). It refers to the same cortical region that has been called the anterior cingulate cognitive division (ACcd) (1), rostral cingulate zone (9), or midcingulate cortex (3). The dACC ROI is indicated in aqua on the coronal slice enlargement (Subject 1, Lower Left). Coronal slices are shown for subjects 2 and 3. <P> Impairments in the development of the anterior cingulate, together with impairments in the dorsal medial-frontal cortex, may constitute a neural substrate for socio-cognitive deficits in autism, such as social orienting and joint attention. It appears to play a role in a wide variety of autonomic functions, such as regulating blood pressure and heart rate. It is also involved in rational cognitive functions, such as reward anticipation, decision-making, empathy, impulse control, and emotion. <P> Assessments of anterior cingulate cortex in experimental animals and humans have led to unifying theories of its structural organization and contributions to mammalian behaviour. The anterior cingulate cortex forms a large region around the rostrum of the corpus callosum that is termed the anterior executive region. Excessive cingulate activity in cases with seizures confirmed in anterior cingulate cortex with subdural electrode recordings, can impair consciousness, alter affective state and expression, and influence skeletomotor and autonomic activity.

Becoming an Alpha. 1 A Beta or Omega can become an Alpha by killing an Alpha. Special Abilities. 1 An Alpha’s bite can transform a human into a werewolf. 2 The bite usually only has two outcomes-transformation or death although there are exceptions (See Lydia Martin and Kanima). <P> Main article: Alpha. A True Alpha is a werewolf who rises to Alpha status solely on the strength and purity of their character, sheer force of will. True Alphas are rare, only appearing once in a 100 years. <P> These are called “True Alphas” and are very rare. Our understanding of the True Alpha status is evolving. We're told a True Alpha's status can only be taken by a Beta of his own making but this may not be the case. Special Abilities. 1 An Alpha’s bite can transform a human into a werewolf. 2 The bite usually only has two outcomes-transformation or death although there are exceptions (See Lydia Martin and Kanima). <P> — Oracle, about Alpha Werewolves. An Alpha Werewolf is the leader of a pack of werewolves. It is the strongest, most powerful and by far the most lethal variety of Werewolf. Similar to wizards, Alpha's are said to possess great power and wisdom. 1 Alpha Bite: The bite of an alpha can turn a human into a Werewolf. 2 Alpha Voice Roar: When an Alpha is in danger, it sends out a loud howl or roar that signals other members of its pack. <P> 1 Alpha Bite: Only the bite of an alpha can turn a human into a Werewolf. 2 Regenerative Healing: Alphas heal much faster than humans and are immune to diseases. 3 Merging: Alpha twins have shown the ability to merge into one Super-Wolf. 1 Alpha Roar: The roar of an Alpha Werewolf has the ability to force the transformation of other werewolves against their will. 2 Retractable Fangs: Alphas can retract their fangs, back and forth. 3 Pain Absorption: Alphas can absorb the pain of other beings. <P> True Alpha Edit. A True Alpha is a werewolf that dosen't need to steal his/her powers from another Alpha. This Werewolf can rise to this status by his/her own will and strength of character. 1 Alpha Roar: The roar of an Alpha Werewolf has the ability to force the transformation of other werewolves against their will. 2 Retractable Fangs: Alphas can retract their fangs, back and forth. 3 Pain Absorption: Alphas can absorb the pain of other beings. <P> 312 pages on this wiki. The Alpha Werewolf is the leader of the pack. Many Alphas have the ability to turn into a wolf completely. A Beta or an Omega can become an Alpha by killing one (stealing their power). An Alpha can gain more power by killing his/her Betas. 1 Alpha Roar: The roar of an Alpha Werewolf has the ability to force the transformation of other werewolves against their will. 2 Retractable Fangs: Alphas can retract their fangs, back and forth. 3 Pain Absorption: Alphas can absorb the pain of other beings. <P> There are many different kinds of werewolves, and the Alpha Wolf is just one. Although some may argue the Alpha Wolf is the most important and powerful kind of werewolf there is. Historically the Alpha werewolf is a shape changing creature that can become wolf by rubbing an ointment on themselves or by wearing a charm. Other ancient legends point to heredity playing a big part in the Alpha wolves. These legends state that one can only be an Alpha wolf if they are born into it. <P> N/A. The Alpha Werewolf is the very first werewolf and progenitor of all other of their species. Being closer to the Alpha up to the fourth generation, werewolves are considered pure-bloods

how much does the treatment for chlamydia cost
|
<P> 1 For example, Planned Parenthood in Houston charges $28 for a chlamydia test, and AnyLabTestNow.com charges $89 for a chlamydia urine test or $129 for a combined chlamydia/gonorrhea test. 2 Drugstore.com charges about $13 for a one-week course of the generic antibiotic doxycycline hyclate. 1 Drugstore.com charges about $30 for a one-gram dose of the generic antibiotic azithromycin and about $50 for the brand-name equivalent, Zithromax. <P> You can treat gonorrhea and chlamydia at the same time; usually different antibiotics are used, but it's possible to use two grams of azithromycin in a single dose. The catch … is that vomiting is common after this treatment, and may require a second treatment. <P> Best Answer: Go to your county health department. They usually have free STD treatment. If that is not available, get your perscription filled at Wal Mart or Walgreens. The usual treatment for chlamydia is doxycycline, 100mg twice a day for 7 days, and this is a $4.00 prescription at those stores.

what does neurofibromatosis affect
|
<P> Incidence and Prevalence of Neurofibromatosis. Neurofibromatosis is the most common genetic neurological disorder that is caused by a single gene. It affects more than 100,000 people in the United States. Type 1 NF affects 1 in 4000 people and is usually diagnosed during childhood. Type 2 affects 1 in 50,000 and is usually diagnosed in early adulthood. Schwannomatosis is rare. NF occurs throughout the world and affects men and women of all races and ethnic groups. NF produces tumors of the skin, internal organs, and nerves that may become cancerous (malignant). It also can affect bones, causing severe pain and debilitation and may result in learning disabilities, behavioral dysfunction, and hearing and vision loss. There is no cure for n <P> Neurofibromatosis Type 1. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder that can affect multiple systems of the body. It is characterized by the presence of: 1 Skin differences, such as cafe-café-au lait (spots light brown patches on the), skin and freckles on the armpits or. groin Most of the brain tumors that occur in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) are low-grade astrocytomas. They can occur anywhere in the brain, but most often occur along the optic pathway, and therefore can affect vision. Most of these tumors occur by 5 years of age. <P> Overview of Neurofibromatosis. Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic neurological disorder that affects cell growth in nerve tissue. NF produces tumors of the skin, internal organs, and nerves that may become cancerous (malignant). It also can affect bones, causing severe pain and debilitation and may result in learning disabilities, behavioral dysfunction, and hearing and vision loss. There is no cure for neurofibromatosis. <P> Neurofibromatosis is a disease that affects the development and growth of nerve cell tissues. It causes tumors to grow on nerves and can affect many systems in the body including the skin, skeleton, and brain. Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is the more common form of the disease, occurring in 1 in 3,000 to 4,000 births. Also known as von Recklinghausen disease, NF1 mostly affects nerves of the outer parts of the body (peripheral nervous system). <P> Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder that affects approximately 1 in 25,000 people, and is sometimes inherited in families or may arise spontaneously. NF2 most commonly causes dysfunction of the vestibular nerve. <P> Neurofibromatosis, also known as NF, is a genetically inherited disorder of the nervous system (brain and spinal cord) which mainly affects the development of nerve (neural) cell tissues, causing tumors (neurofibromas) to develop on nerves, and may cause other abnormalities. Neurofibromatosis is the most common genetic neurological disorder that is caused by a single gene. According to the National Health Service (NHS), UK, Nf1 affects approximately 1 in every 2,500 newborns. Although the odds seem small, Nf1 is classed as a common genetic disorder. <P> Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a condition characterized by changes in skin coloring (pigmentation) and the growth of tumors along nerves in the skin, brain, and other parts of the body. The signs and symptoms of this condition vary widely among affected people. Mutations in the NF1 gene cause neurofibromatosis type 1. The NF1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called neurofibromin. This protein is produced in many cells, including nerve cells and specialized cells surrounding nerves (oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells). <P> Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is the more common form of the disease, occurring in 1 in 3,000 to 4,000 births. Also known as von Recklinghausen disease, NF1 mostly affects nerves of the outer parts of the body (peripheral nervous system).

minimum carbs your body need a day
|
<P> To maintain weight, the chart below shows you your daily calorie limit. It's based on your age, activity level, and the BMI (body-mass index) of 21.5 for women and 22.5 for men. To lose weight -- about 1 pound a week -- reduce total calories in the chart by 500 a day. To gain weight, add 500 calories per day for each pound you want to gain per week. <P> So, summing up mid-article, the absolute requirement for carbohydrates is zero grams per day. However, depending on protein intake, a practical minimum for carbs lies between 50 grams/day (if someone functions well in ketosis) to 100-120 grams per day (if they don’t function well in ketosis). For a typical male with 160 pounds of lean body mass, daily carbohydrate intake could range from the physiological requirement of zero grams per day to a near maximum of 1120 g/day during a carb-load. Which makes it no wonder that people are confused. <P> When carbohydrates are restricted completely, the body still has a small requirement for glucose (although this decreases over time) and the body has to find something to make glucose out of. That something is lactate and pyruvate (produced from glucose metabolism), glycerol (from fat metabolism) and some amino acids. For a typical male with 160 pounds of lean body mass, daily carbohydrate intake could range from the physiological requirement of zero grams per day to a near maximum of 1120 g/day during a carb-load. Which makes it no wonder that people are confused. <P> Minimum Requirements. The Institute of Medicine encourages all women to consume at least 130 grams of carbohydrates each day. A woman’s individualized carbohydrate needs are based on her recommended calorie requirements, weight management goals and physical activity level. This means women following 1,200-calorie weight loss diets need about 135 to 195 grams of carbs each day, women consuming 1,600-calorie diets need 180 to 260 grams, women following 2,000-calorie diets need 225 to 325 grams and women consuming 2,400 calories per day require 270 to 390 grams of carbohydrates each day. <P> The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates make up 45 to 65 percent of your total daily calories. So, if you get 2,000 calories a day, between 900 and 1,300 calories should be from carbohydrates. That translates to between 225 and 325 grams of carbohydrates a day. You can find the carbohydrate content of packaged foods on the Nutrition Facts label. The Nutrition Facts label shows total carbohydrates, which includes starches, fiber, sugar alcohols, and naturally occurring and added sugars. <P> The amount of carbohydrates a woman should consume each day depends on her total daily calorie intake. Despite carbohydrates’ bad reputation in many commercial weight loss diets, carbohydrates are your body’s main fuel source. This means women following 1,200-calorie weight loss diets need about 135 to 195 grams of carbs each day, women consuming 1,600-calorie diets need 180 to 260 grams, women following 2,000-calorie diets need 225 to 325 grams and women consuming 2,400 calories per day require 270 to 390 grams of carbohydrates each day. <P> The University of Maryland Medical Center website notes a minimum recommended carbohydrate intake of 100 grams to 150 grams per day. The Institute of Medicine, the organization that sets the recommended dietary allowances for nutrients, recommends consuming at least 130 grams of carbohydrates per day. For most people, this is still below the recommended percentage of calories from carbohydrates. If you consumed 1,200 calories per day, 130 grams of carbohydrates would make up 43 percent of your calories, but it would only be 26 percent of your daily calories if you consumed 2,000 calori <P> The recommended intake is a minimum of 130 grams/day, or 45 - 65 percent of daily calories for adults, independent of age or activity level. This is the minimum needed for your brain to function. Athletes are recommended to consume 6 - 10 grams for every kilogram of body weight per day. For example, a typical man weighing 70 kilograms needs 420 grams of carbs per day to fuel his activity. If you are on a low-calorie diet (less than 2000 calories per day), it may be difficult to achieve the 6 grams per day. Since there are four calories per one gram of carbohydrate, you would need to be consuming 250-300 grams of carbohydrates per day. The digestibility of the carbohydrates you consume (fiber content) plays a role in the physiological energy available. <P> The Institute of Medicine recommends a minimum of 130 grams of carbohydrates per day, which is the average minimal usage of glucose that the brain uses on a daily basis. You need 2,361 Calories/day to maintain your weight. You should take 252 (40%) - 472 (75%) grams of carbohydrate for your energy needs. You need 1,361 Calories/day to lose 1 kg per week. You should take 145 (40%) - 272 (75%) grams of carbohydrate for your energy needs. (55% = 200 grams, 65% = 236 grams). You need 2,861 Calories/day to gain 0.5

how much do minor league general managers make
|
<P> Major League Baseball managers serve as their teams’ head coaches. Many managers earn approximately $1 million per year, but the amount varies based on tenure, experience, location and team success. In 2010, the Yankees awarded manager Joe Girardi a three-year, $9 million contract, according to Bloomberg News. <P> Minor league baseball managers are employees of the parent club, not of the minor league franchise. Therefore, their salaries are determined by their value and net worth to the major league team, not by their minor league winning percentage or how their presence effects gate sales and revenues. <P> Salaries for Major League Coaches; Salary of a Baseball General Manager; ... Minor league baseball players, although still professionals at their sport,... <P> Typically working on one-year contracts, minor league baseball managers make an average of $20,000 to $60,000 per season, according to a recent study by Baseball America, the industry's leading publication for on-and off-the-field news and information. <P> A 2007 story in Sports Business Daily reported that Major League Baseball salaries averaged $1.4 million per season for the 2007 season. Sixteen of 30 managers earned less than $1 million with the Oakland Athletics, Washington Nationals, Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Devil Rays each paying their managers $500,000. <P> General Manager Salaries. Salaries for minor league GMs vary depending on the level -- A, AA or AAA -- and experience. Few public records, however, are available regarding minor league GM salaries. According to Baseball America, pay for an A-level GM started around $45,000 per year in 2010. A GM at the AAA level might make as much as $100,000. Pay for assistant GMs in 2010 ranged from $35,000 at A-level to $80,000 at AAA-level ball.

what culture are used for nasal mrsa
|
<P> The following are recommended for prevention of VRE and MRSA in hospitals and may be adapted for use in non-hospital healthcare facilities: 1 Obtain stool cultures or rectal swab cultures of roommates of patients newly found to be infected or colonized with VRE, and nasal swabs for MRSA. 1 When cohorting patients with the same MRSA is not possible, place MRSA patients in rooms with patients who are at low risk for acquisition of MRSA and associated adverse outcomes from infection and are likely to have short lengths of stay. <P> Nasal MRSA colonization also strongly predicted antimicrobial resistance in other organisms. A negative nasal test was less useful; only 217 of 323 patients (67.2%; 95% CI, 61.8, 72.3) with clinical cultures involving MRSA had detectable, concomitant nasal MRSA colonization. Nasal tests to rule out MRSA infection. To function as an ideal rule-out test, nasal MRSA tests would be consistently positive in the presence of clinical MRSA. We found that 217 of 323 patients (67.2%; 95% CI, 61.8, 72.3) whose clinical cultures involved MRSA had a positive nasal real-time PCR test. <P> MRSA: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. 1 Staphylococcus aureus, often referred to simply as staph, are bacteria commonly carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people. 1 An MRSA BSI is when a patient has a positive test for MRSA in the blood along with evidence of an infection, such as a fever. 2 MRSA BSIs are often secondary infections; that is, the result of an MRSA infection in another place, such as the lungs (pneumonia) or a wound. <P> Objective. To determine the proportion of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) detections identified by nasal swabbing using agar culture in comparison with multiple body site testing using agar and nutrient broth culture. Design. Cross-sectional study. Patients. Patients were screened for MRSA via multiple body site swabs (nasal, throat, axillary, perineal, and wound/invasive device sites) cultured individually on chromogenic agar and pooled in nutrient broth. Combined results from all sites and cultures provided a gold-standard estimate of true MRSA prevalence. <P> Nasal swabbing using agar culture identified two-thirds of the total MRSA carriers who were diagnosed by multiple body site screening using agar plus nutrient broth culture. Nasal swab screening combined with culture on agar is a commonly applied method for detecting MRSA carriage. <P> 1 Your doctor may take a sample from your infected skin, nose, blood, urine or saliva and send it to the lab. 2 This test sample is called a “culture”. 3 If the lab finds MRSA in the test sample, the test is positive; this means that you have MRSA in or on your body. 1 An MRSA BSI is when a patient has a positive test for MRSA in the blood along with evidence of an infection, such as a fever. 2 MRSA BSIs are often secondary infections; that is, the result of an MRSA infection in another place, such as the lungs (pneumonia) or a wound. <P> 1 Staphylococcus aureus, often referred to simply as staph, are bacteria commonly carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people. 2 Approximately 25% to 30% of people in general are colonized (when bacteria are present, but not causing an infection) in the nose with staph bacteria. 1 An MRSA BSI is when a patient has a positive test for MRSA in the blood along with evidence of an infection, such as a fever. 2 MRSA BSIs are often secondary infections; that is, the result of an MRSA infection in another place, such as the lungs (pneumonia) or a wound. <P> If either a culture or a molecular test is positive for MRSA, then the person is colonized with MRSA at the site that was tested, which is usually the nares (nostrils). If a wound site culture of a person treated for MRSA is still positive, then the bacteria are still present. If the nasal screen or wound site culture is negative, then MRSA are either not present or are present in numbers too low to be detected by the test. ^ Back to top. Some hospitals have instituted measures to control the spread of MRSA by screening those patients they feel are at risk of being colonized with these resistant bacteria (a carrier) or all new admissions to the hospital. <P> A methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) screen is a test that looks solely for the presence of MRSA and no other pathogens. It is primarily used to identify the presence of MRSA in a colonized person. Some hospitals have instituted measures to control the spread of MRSA by screening those patients they feel are at risk of being colonized with these resistant bacteria (a carrier) or all new admissions to the hospital.

average price to wire data in new office building
|
<P> Voice and Data Cabling Average Costs. You can expect to pay anywhere from $100 up to $500 per drop for voice and data cabling installation. Many companies will charge you a single price for the entire project (for example, $20,000 to install 75 drops). Generally, the bigger the project, the more your price will come down when getting competitive bids. <P> Rich, Thank you for your question. That is a fairly small size for an office building, which puts upwards pressure on the price per square foot. While the chart would suggest a cost in the neighborhood of $160 per square foot, the small square footage could easily push you up into the $200 per square-foot range. The data for this year indicates a $15-$30 per square foot or approximately 13% increase in construction cost over last year, depending on region. Note that over twenty stories starts getting into more unique building characteristics that will drive costs in various ways <P> 1 A California MIS operator paid around $14,000 for a new system with 150 drops using 5e wiring. 2 A Georgia telecom company paid roughly $7,000 for 58 new voice and 51 new data runs. 3 One Arizona programmer paid $75 per hour, in addition to travel and material costs, for a cable installation upgrade. You can expect to pay anywhere from $100 up to $500 per drop for voice and data cabling installation. Many companies will charge you a single price for the entire project (for example, $20,000 to install 75 drops). Generally, the bigger the project, the more your price will come down when getting competitive bids. <P> 1 The actual cost of office building wiring depends not only on the total number of drops, but also the number of face-plates, patch panels, network racks, and switches required in addition to installation, set-up, activation, and testing charges. Voice and data wiring is a highly technical and job-specific matter that should be discussed in detail with a data cabling company. The following information is only meant to provide you with a basic idea of how network cabling works and what should be considered before a new installation. <P> The cost of cabling is a significant part--from 5% to 20%--of the overall communications costs. Both new cabling installations and upgrades can run from $2 to $5 per square foot and, for technologically intensive applications, increase to $50 per square foot. The building accommodated securities-processing operations that were being relocated from New York City to New Jersey. The typical per-square-foot cost for this technically intensive cabling project is $5 to $6 <P> 1 To see how cabling costs are broken down, check out this quote for a 40,000 square foot office with 222 drops. 2 The total cost came to $26,000; more than $10,000 was in labor charges alone. Voice and data wiring is a highly technical and job-specific matter that should be discussed in detail with a data cabling company. The following information is only meant to provide you with a basic idea of how network cabling works and what should be considered before a new installation. <P> The cost of cabling to cat6 is $250 for every one thousand feet. For this discussion we will look at the costs of installing ten lines of Cat6 (with an average of 200 feet per line) the average home office to such service. The project parameters indicate that roughly $500 of cable is required, and the average electrician costs will be roughly $50 per point of connection-meaning that another $500 will be necessary for proper installation. <P> Compare Office Building Wiring Prices. Fast, dependable data and voice cabling is a must in today’s information-driven business world. Cabling problems—one of the leading causes of network problems—cost companies millions of dollars annually. Voice and data wiring is a highly technical and job-specific matter that should be discussed in detail with a data cabling company. The following information is only meant to provide you with a basic idea of how network cabling works and what should be considered before a new installation. <P> For the most common office building size, two to four stories tall, the range is from just over $140 per square foot in Winston-Salem to over $240 per square foot in New York – Note that this is over $10 per square foot more than last year.

what happens if xmas day falls on weekend
|
<P> For example, if the holiday falls on a Saturday, the day to be treated as the holiday is the preceding Friday. However, if that Friday is an employee's scheduled day off (i.e., a non-workday) the day to be treated as the holiday is the preceding Thursday. <P> 1 If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday and that day would not otherwise be a working day for the employee, the holiday is transferred to the following Monday or Tuesday so that the employee still gets a paid day off if the employee would usually work on these days. <P> For Employees on First-40-Hours-If the holiday falls on a Saturday and Saturday is a non-workday, the day to be treated as a holiday is the workday immediately before the holiday. If the holiday falls on a Sunday and Sunday is a non-workday, the day to be treated as the holiday is the subsequent workday. <P> If Boxing Day falls on a Saturday, the following Monday is a bank holiday. If Christmas Day falls on a Saturday, the following Monday and Tuesday are bank holidays. All schools and many organizations are closed in this period. Some may close for the whole week between Christmas and New Year. <P> When a paid holiday falls on Saturday, the best practice in most industries is to count Friday as the paid holiday, and give as many employees as possible Friday off. Under this system, every employee is paid for 8 hours (straight time) more than he or she actually worked that week, as holiday pay. <P> Generally speaking, if a public holiday falls on a day on which the employee does not usually work, the employer must provide the employee with another day off work that would ordinarily be a working day for the employee and must pay the employee public holiday pay for that day. The exception to this rule is Alberta. <P> What are an Employer's Obligations if a Public Holiday Falls on a Weekend? This year, both Christmas and New Year’s Day will fall on Sundays, which is a non-working day for most employees. <P> 1 If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday and that day would not otherwise be a working day for the employee, the holiday is transferred to the following Monday so that the employee still gets a paid day off if the employee would usually work on these days. <P> Over the Christmas and New Year period: 1 If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday and that day would not otherwise be a working day for the employee, the holiday is transferred to the following Monday or Tuesday so that the employee still gets a paid day off if the employee would usually work on these days. <P> In the United States employers are not required by law to pay you for holidays regardless of what day of the week the holiday falls on. If your employer provides you with holi … day pay you are receiving a benefit and not an entitlement.

when to remove sutures from hand
|
<P> Ensure that there is no infection in the surrounding area of the wound. Clean the area with an antiseptic cream or lotion. This will remove any dried blood and soften the tissue around the wound. Lift the thread up at the knot with the tweezers. Take the suture scissors in your other hand. Gently cut through the thread close to the skin. Make sure not to pull or overstretch the skin. <P> Use the pair of tweezers to gently lift the knot of the first stitch slightly above the skin. 3. Cut the suture. Holding the knot above your skin, use your other hand to wield your scissors and snip the suture next to the knot. 4. Pull the thread through. Use the tweezers to continue grasping the knot and gently pull the stitch through your skin and out. <P> Skin laceration repair is an important skill in family medicine. Sutures, tissue adhesives, staples, and skin-closure tapes are options in the outpatient setting. Physicians should be familiar with various suturing techniques, including simple, running, and half-buried mattress (corner) sutures. <P> Lacerations Sutures. In general, lacerations that require sutures include: Guidelines for Suture Removal. Sutures may need to stay in longer when the laceration is over a joint, or in an area that is under a lot of stress, such as the palm of the hand or sole of the foot. 1 Facial lacerations over 1/4 inch (6 mm).

<P> An integrated development environment (IDE) is a programming environment that has been packaged as an application program, typically consisting of a code editor, a compiler, a debugger, and a graphical user interface (GUI) builder. See complete definition. language-oriented programming (LOP). Language-oriented programming (LOP) is an approach to software development that focuses on the use of domain specific languages (... <P> SecurActive Performance Vision. IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) is a standard electronic interface used between a computer motherboard's data paths or bus and the computer's disk storage devices. In today's computers, the IDE controller is often built into the motherboard. Prior to the IDE drive, controllers were separate external devices so IDE reduced problems associated with storage devices and integrated controllers. <P> An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. Maestro I is a product from Softlab Munich and was the world's first integrated development environment 1975 for software. Maestro I was installed for 22,000 programmers worldwide. Until 1989, 6,000 installations existed in the Federal Republic of Germany. <P> And that's why Visual SourceSafe 4.0 integrates directly into the Visual Basic IDE. Figure 1. SourceSafe integrated into Visual Basic. Without leaving Visual Basic, you can check a form out, modify that form, and check it back in. As an example, imagine running the Visual C++ debugger to track down a problem reported by a tester or customer. You pull down the Tools menu, choose Get from SourceControl, and get all the files in the project, just to make sure you are up-to-date with everyone's changes. Then you debug and find the problem. <P> An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. Most modern IDEs have intelligent code completion. Some IDEs contain a compiler, interpreter, or both, such as NetBeans and Eclipse; others do not, such as SharpDevelop and Lazarus. The boundary between an integrated development environment and other parts of the broader software development environment is not well-defined.

It's free and open-source, supports tons of languages with more plugins coming all the time, and is incredibly simple to install and use, even for a beginner. Aptana is a popular choice for web app development. Aptana Studio 2 can be used as a stand-alone IDE or can be plugged into Eclipse. Aptana comes with Firebug support built-in, and its developer community seems to release plugins for other languages as needed. <P> 2. Alternatively referred to as IDLE, IDE is short for Integrated Development Environment, and are visual tools that allow programmers to develop programs more efficiently. Commonly, an IDE may have a compiler, debugger, text editor, and other integrated tools.

how long does the international space station take to orbit the earth each day
|
<P> Best Answer: The time a satellite takes to orbit the Earth depends on how high it is above the Earth's surface-the higher the orbit, the longer it takes to circle the Earth. Most satellites in what is called Low Earth Orbit (LEO) are at a height of roughly 250 miles and take a little over 90 minutes for each orbit. <P> During a 24 hour period, how many times does the ISS orbit the Earth? Well, the space station orbits Earth about every 90 minutes, so that means in a 24 hour day, the space station orbits approximately 16 times. <P> How far does the ISS orbit? The ISS (International Space Station) orbits at an altitude of approximately 350 kilometres (220 miles) above the surface of the Earth, travelling at an average speed of 27,72 … 4 kilometres (17,227 mi) per hour, completing 15.7 orbits per day. <P> Orbital period The International Space Station completes 15.79 orbits per day, or about one orbit every 90 minutes. <P> The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of roughly 17,150 miles per hour (that's about 5 miles per second!). This means that the Space Station orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes! <P> Share to: The International Space Station is maintained in a near circular orbit with a minimum mean altitude of 278 km (173 mi) and a maximum of 460 km (286 mi).

what is meerschaum
|
<P> Meerschaum pipes may develop rich coloring from both age and use. The first recorded use of meerschaum for making pipes was around 1723 and quickly became prized as the perfect material for providing a cool, dry, flavorful smoke. The porous nature of meerschaum draws moisture and tobacco tar into the stone. The qualities of the meerschaum were combined with those of the briar wood pipes by lining a briar pipe with a meerschaum bowl. Some believe the meerschaum lined briar pipe gives the porosity and sweet smoking qualities of meerschaum along with the heat-absorbing qualities and durability of briar. <P> Civilization Started with Stones …Meerschaum also sepiolite, is a soft white mineral. Meerschaum is a hydrous magnesium silicate having the chemical formula Mg4Si6O15(OH)2·6H2O and it’s density is between 0.988 to 1.279 gr/cm3 Eskişehir has been steeped in the mystique of meerschaum for five millennia. Meerschaum is a rare mineral which is found in Eskisehir, Turkey, although there are some small deposits in other countries such as Greece, France, USA and Somali. It is accepted among experts that the purest quality meerschaum comes from Turkey. <P> Also meerschaum is referred to as “White Gold”. Meerschaum behaves in a natural way reminiscent of a living organism. Scientifically, it is an alkaline mineral, a magnesium hydrosilicate compound whose loosely bound crystals have a microscopic spongy texture. Meerschaum is a rare mineral which is found in Eskisehir, Turkey, although there are some small deposits in other countries such as Greece, France, USA and Somali. It is accepted among experts that the purest quality meerschaum comes from Turkey. <P> Meerschaum is the most flavorful and beautiful pipe you can own. Meerschaum-one of the most porous substances found in nature-acts as a filter, absorbs tobacco tars and nicotine, and yields a most satisfying smoke. Meerschaum smokes cool and dry with a flavor unrivaled by any other pipe. The split block-meerschaum is soaked in water for 15-30 minutes until the material achieves a cheese-like consistency. Working with the softened material, the carver determines the rough shape of the pipe before the bowl and draft hole are bored. Like all fine hand-crafted articles, no two meerschaums are alike. <P> MEERSCHAUM: A German word meaning literally, sea-foam, alluding to the belief that it was the compressed whitecaps of waves.

which part of the dna ladder is made of sugars and phosphates
|
<P> In this model of a very short section of DNA you can see how the A-T and C-G base pairs make up the rungs of the ladder and the sugars and phosphates make up the two long strands. These two models shows how all the atoms of the sugars, phosphates and nitrogenous bases fit together to make the spiral staircase or twisted ladder shape first suggested by the x-ray diffraction pictures of DNA taken by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. <P> The sugar is called deoxyribose. The rungs of the ladder are made of a pair of molecules called bases. There are four bases in DNA: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. Because of the chemical structures of the bases, adenine only pairs with thymine and cytosine only pairs with guanine to form a rung. Procedure: 1. <P> The DNA is made up of base pairs Adenine Thymine Cytosine and Guanine, which form the rungs of the double-helix ladder, and the double-helix ribbons (the backbones of th … e dna) are formed from sugar (deoxyribose)-phosphate groups.

The four nitrogen bases found in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. Each of these bases are often abbreviated a single letter: A (adenine), C (cytosine), G (guanine), T (thymine). The bases come in two categories: thymine and cytosine are pyrimidines, while adenine and guanine are purines (). The pyrimidine structure is produced by a six-membered, two-nitrogen molecule; purine refers to a nine-membered, four-nitrogen molecule. Base Pairing in DNA. The nitrogen bases form the double-strand of DNA through weak hydrogen bonds. The nitrogen bases, however, have specific shapes and hydrogen bond properties so that guanine and cytosine only bond with each other, while adenine and thymine also bond exclusively. <P> Concept 19 The DNA molecule is shaped like a twisted ladder. Earlier work had shown that DNA is composed of building blocks called nucleotides consisting of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases — adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). Phosphates and sugars of adjacent nucleotides link to form a long polymer. Other key experiments showed that the ratios of A-to-T and G-to-C are constant in all living things. X-ray crystallography provided the final clue that the DNA molecule is a double helix, shaped like a twisted ladder. In 1953, the race to determine how these pieces fit together in a three-dimensional structure was won by James Watson and Francis Crick at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. They showed that alternating deoxyribose and phosphate molecules form the twisted uprights of the DNA ladder. <P> The sides of the DNA ladder are long chains of sugars and phosphates (fahs-fates). The rungs of the ladder are four chemical bases: adenine (add-n-een), guanine (gwa-neen), cytosine (sigh-tuh-seen) and thymine (thigh-meen). Adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T) and guanine (G) always pairs with cytosine (C). <P> Yes, you are correct. DNA is made up of a base (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine), a phosphate and a deoxyribose Sugar. The phosphate and the sugar form the backbone whi … le the bases form the links in between. 1 person found this useful.

what dog breed names are capitalized
|
<P> Samoyed would be capitalized (because as one commenter stated it is also the name of a nomadic people in Siberia). Also, note that Dalmatians are named after Dalmatia, so that breed name is capitalized. This is essentially a matter of style. The American Kennel Club capitalizes all dog breed names, it appears. I think if you are consistent and have a rationale for how you capitalize the breed names, that will work just fine in professional writing. Also, if you submit your writing for publication somewhere, an editor will help you follow that publication's style. This is not something to concern yourself with too greatly. <P> All names of dog breeds should be capitalized because as stated above they are proper nouns. Word document goes by different rules. If a dog breed name has 2 separate names in it, then both should be capitalized such as Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Springer Spaniel, etc. Answer by John Graham. Confidence votes 1. Because it is a Proper Noun. (This answer is WRONG: According to Merriam-Webster, dog breeds are common nouns, therefore golden retriever, beagle, collie and most others are lowercase, unless they have a proper noun in their title (e.g., Yorkshire terrier or German shepherd.). <P> August 20, 2009, 12:25am. When it comes to dog breeds, etc., I only capitalize the name when it functions as a name: Chesapeake Bay retriever, Labrador retriever, but not when the name has become a sort of generic descriptor: french fries.

The ones that are capitalised are named after places, nations or peoples. Capitalised dog breeds include: 1 Afghan Hound – originated in Afghanistan. 2 Airedale Terrier – originated in Airedale, England. 3 Great Dane – originated in Denmark or Germany. 4 Pomeranian – named for the Pomerania region in Central Europe <P> Dog breeds are not capitalized unless the name is that of a geographic region: Pomeranian, “Labrador retriever,” “bull terrier”, “American pit bull terrier.” (Dalmatian is an exception; it’s usually lowercase, but I would probably uppercase it when it appears with similar names normally capitalized.). <P> Grammar Girl. In general, the rule for dog (and cat) breeds is to capitalize the part of the name derived from a proper noun and lowercase the part of the name derived from a common noun. In the following examples, English and Yorkshire are derived from proper nouns—the names of places—and thus should be capitalized. On the other hand, mastiff is derived from the Latin mansuetus mansuétus for tame or, mild and terrier is derived From Old french chien terrier for dog of the, earth, land or—ground both common, nouns which means those parts should not be. <P> For our veterinary journals, we have a style guide that tells us which dog and cat breed names to capitalize. The list is based on entries in The American Heritage Dictionary (our company's standard). If the breed isn't listed in that dictionary, we editors come to a consensus and add it to our style guide. I think if you are consistent and have a rationale for how you capitalize the breed names, that will work just fine in professional writing. Also, if you submit your writing for publication somewhere, an editor will help you follow that publication's style. This is not something to concern yourself with too greatly. <P> chas.clifton.

what is avocado pit good for
|
<P> Remove the pit. Cut into the avocado carefully, so as not to injure the pit, which is in the fruit's center. You can do this by scoring the skin/fruit about ½ an inch (1.3 cm) deep all the way around the outside, and then twisting the two halves in opposite directions to open it. Carefully remove the pit and set it aside. <P> Avocado is a tree. The fruit, a popular food, is a good source of potassium and vitamin D. The fruit, leaves, and seeds are used to make medicine.

When ordering at a restaurant, remember that not all avocado dishes are created equal. <P> Step 1. Cut the avocado and remove the pit. An easy way to do this is to slice into the avocado and cut it all around the pit to remove the halves cleanly. Then insert the tip of your knife into the pit, twist and remove carefully, removing from the end of the knife. Use the avocado on sandwiches or in dips, reserving the pit. While you may automatically discard the avocado pit when you slice into an avocado, you may want top think again. According to a 2004 Journal of Food Chemistry, avocado pits are rich in antioxidants, and are also rich in soluble fiber, which can help those with cholesterol. <P> Eaten with other foods, your body is better able to absorb the nutrients, such as alpha-and beta-carotene and lutein.

what happened in the evaporator coil
|
<P> Frozen Evaporator Coils. Another major cause of evaporator coil leaks is when the evaporator coil freezes over. When the coil eventually melts, there may be too much condensate for the pan to handle, so a good portion of it ends up in your home. The causes of evaporator coil leaks are 100 percent preventable. By understanding these causes and knowing what can be done about them, you can keep your home and A/C from damage. <P> 1 FROST BUILD-UP on AIR CONDITIONER COILS-CONTENTS: what causes frost & ice build-up on the cooling coil or evaporator coil in an air conditioner or heat pump; knowing the cause of frost-blocked cooling coils can make the repair easier. Why frost or ice forms on a cooling coil in an active or in-use air handler. 1 The air flow is too slow or has completely halted across the cooling coil. 2 The cause of this problem could be as simple as a dirty air filter or it could be crimped, disconnected ductwork or even improperly-sized ductwork. <P> Causes of evaporator coil leaks that occur in the four-to seven-year time frame of an air conditioner’s service life – a much more common occurrence – most often are due to degradation of the copper tubing inside the coil. While there might be any number of other explanations for these problems, low refrigerant is high on the list, particularly with older air conditioners. The evaporator coil located inside the indoor air handler is a vital component in the air conditioning system. The coil circulates refrigerant vapor at a temperature of about 40 degrees. The refrigerant extracts heat energy from indoor air, which is drawn over the coil surfaces by the force of the blower fan <P> Here are some suggestions to eliminate formicary corrosion as one of the causes of evaporator coil leaks and low refrigerant in your air conditioning system: 1 Increase household ventilation with fresh outdoor air to dilute concentration of VOCs inside the house. While there might be any number of other explanations for these problems, low refrigerant is high on the list, particularly with older air conditioners. The evaporator coil located inside the indoor air handler is a vital component in the air conditioning system. The coil circulates refrigerant vapor at a temperature of about 40 degrees. The refrigerant extracts heat energy from indoor air, which is drawn over the coil surfaces by the force of the blower fan <P> When your cooling system has dirty A/C coils, you’re paying more to cool your home and getting less cooling than you’re paying for. An air conditioner doesn’t add coolness to the inside of your house; it removes heat. What’s left behind when you take out the heat energy is a cool, comfortable home. The components that make heat transfer happen are the evaporator and condenser coils. <P> Comments are off. An experienced air conditioning technician looks for causes of evaporator coil leaks when tests reveal insufficient refrigerant in the system. Low refrigerant can be the root cause behind a number of A/C malfunctions from the subtle to the acute. While there might be any number of other explanations for these problems, low refrigerant is high on the list, particularly with older air conditioners. The evaporator coil located inside the indoor air handler is a vital component in the air conditioning system. The coil circulates refrigerant vapor at a temperature of about 40 degrees. The refrigerant extracts heat energy from indoor air, which is drawn over the coil surfaces by the force of the blower fan <P> A big part of what your A/C does is pull humidity from the air. Your A/C unit pulls in hot, humid air, then runs it over the evaporator coil to cool the air down before recirculating it throughout your home. The causes of evaporator coil leaks are 100 percent preventable. By understanding these causes and knowing what can be done about them, you can keep your home and A/C from damage. <P> The most common causes of evaporator coil leaks are a clogged drain line or a rusted condensation pan. The drain line can get clogged with all sorts of things, like insects, mold or dirt, which then means the water coming off the condensation coil has nowhere to go. The causes of evaporator coil leaks are 100 percent preventable. By understanding these causes and knowing what can be done about them, you can keep your home and A/C from damage. <P> My AC unit has what’s known as an A-frame style evaporator coil. The coil has a two halves joined together like the letter A and sits on a condensate drip pan. The drip pan forms a moat under the coils to catch the water dripping down as warm humid air from the house is chilled as it moves across the cold coils. If your evaporator coils are clean the condensate should wick down to the condensate pan. Dirt or mold on the coils will interrupt the flow, soaking up water and providing sites for the water to drip off the coils before reaching the pan.

what are freckles
|
<P> Those little brown spots adorning your body are merely patches of pigment, called melanin. This freckle ingredient protects your skin from the sun's damage by reflecting and absorbing ultraviolet (UV) rays. Freckles owe their mark to genetics and sun exposure. <P> And the Culprit is…. The Sun! Freckles are a way our skin tells us: “Hey, I’m getting damaged by the sun!” When the melanocytes in the skin get damaged by the sun, we produce freckles which are abnormal collections of melanin pigment, packaged in a different way than a normal melanin pigment is packaged. These melanocytes produce melanin pigment and feed it to keratinocytes, the normal skin cells that form the outer barrier of our skin.This barrier protects us from the insults of nature, and importantly, from the sun. This pigment prevents us from being damaged by the sun’s powerful rays. <P> Another area in which scientists have advanced the study of freckles is through research of the disease xeroderma pigmentosum. Xeroderma pigmentosum is an extreme sensitivity to sunlight -- those who have it are at great risk of developing skin cancer when exposed to the sun [source: MedicineNet ]. <P> Moles and Your Skin. Moles are growths on the skin that are usually brown or black. Moles can appear anywhere on the skin, alone or in groups. Most moles appear in early childhood and during the first 30 years of a person's life. It is normal to have between 10-40 moles by adulthood <P> In simple terms, freckles are areas of the skin that have a little more pigment than the surrounding area. If your doctor ever mentions ephelides, don't worry -- that's just the medical term for freckles. There are two types of freckles: simple freckles and sunburn freckles. <P> Q. What about old age freckles? Old age freckles are actually Liver Spots, and they are a sign of skin damage. After 40, your skin is less able to regenerate itself, and this can result in irregular shaped brown patches of various shades. Liver Spots are usually larger and less numerous than the cute freckles of youth. <P> We all have pigment-producing cells in our skin called melanocytes. These melanocytes produce melanin pigment and feed it to keratinocytes, the normal skin cells that form the outer barrier of our skin.This barrier protects us from the insults of nature, and importantly, from the sun. This pigment prevents us from being damaged by the sun’s powerful rays. <P> Let's find out what freckles are and why some people have them. Freckles are not harmful or the sign of a health problem. They're just pigment cells (cells that contain color) that are contained within the skin in small batches. Freckles are usually tan or light brown, flat, and very small (smaller than the head of a pin) <P> Freckles are pigmented skin cells that are found most commonly on fair-skinned individuals. They are genetic in nature and most common in children prior to puberty, though many adults have them too. Freckles are small, individual tan spots that contain more melanin than other skin cells. They do not indicate any sort of skin disorder or disease in a normal capacity. People with fair skin have less melanin, or pigment, in their skin cells

what is the difference in autocad and autocad lt
|
<P> Save. Developed by Autodesk in the early 1980s, AutoCAD is a software program for 2D and 3D drafting and design. CAD stands for either computer aided drafting or computer aided design.. The main difference between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT is that AutoCAD has both 2D and 3D capabilities. AutoCAD LT maintains the 2D elements of AutoCAD, but AutoCAD LT has less features. <P> The AutoCAD also allows for 3D printing! Furthermore, unlike the AutoCAD, its LT version cannot be used over a network on multiple machines due to unavailability of network licensing. Other differences between the two include customization options, management and automation capabilities, and CAD standards. <P> AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT are quite similar but not identical. In this extra Part of Tens are the ten (okay, eleven) most significant differences between the AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT programs. <P> To begin with, AutoCAD LT and AutoCAD have considerable difference in their price. AutoCAD is the full or complete version and its price level is greater than AutoCAD LT. This is because the LT version is made to be a lost cost version of AutoCAD that has reduced capabilities, that is, can perform fewer functions. <P> What are the difference between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. Can anyone tell me the difference between AutoCAD 2008 and AutoCAD 2008 LT version. LT is different than normal version. <P> Another difference between the two is that while the AutoCAD can only be purchased from official Autodesk dealers, you can buy AutoCAD LT from a number of computer stores where it is available. <P> Re: What are the difference between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.

<P> Diwali is perhaps the most well-known of the Hindu festivals. The word Diwali means 'rows of lighted lamps'.

what is pigmented leather
|
<P> Pigmented Leather is the most durable and is used in the majority of furniture upholstery and almost all car upholstery. The durability is provided by a polymer surface coating which contains pigments. Aniline leathers feel like real skin-light and flexible-whilst a heavily pigmented (protected) leather can feel rather like plastic. Leather upholstery in cars is almost exclusively pigmented to protect it from years of heavy use, as are domestic upholstery leathers. <P> This leather is identified to have a pale greenish blue color when the pigment color is removed by dry or wet rubs. These opaque black napa lamb leathers are common in garment and accessories such as wallet, briefcase and bag. Pigmented auto leather seats may have the same look as other pigmented upholstery but the quality is more stringent to resist UV lights, dry and wet rubs and to withstand extreme temperature fluctuation. <P> Napa pigmented leather is absorbent and is common in garment and is the softest among pigmented leathers but also the most delicate when comes to either dry or wet rubbing. Semi-aniline leather common in upholstery is semi-absorbent thus more delicate than the standard pigmented upholstery. Pigmented auto leather seats may have the same look as other pigmented upholstery but the quality is more stringent to resist UV lights, dry and wet rubs and to withstand extreme temperature fluctuation. <P> B) How to care for and clean Non-Pigmented Leathers (including Pure Aniline, Semi-Aniline Leathers). Non-Pigmented Leathers are more difficult to care for and to clean. It is important to note that a Semi-Aniline Leather falls into this category even though it has a small amount of pigment in it. Semi-Aniline leather is pure aniline leather that has a small amount of pigment or clear finish thus allowing the natural characteristics of the hide to still show through while offering some of the benefits of color consistency and increased wearability. <P> Because no other coating or pigment is used, this leather is superbly soft and supple with rich, penetrating color. Only about 5% of this leather is good enough to be used as is. This kind of leather is called 'Aniline dyed Leather' or 'Unfinished Leather'. And only a soil resistant treatment is applied to the surface. It is more durable leather than the 'Aniline dyed Leather' or 'Unfinished Leather' and it is often used in situations that require heavy duty characteristics. However, if too much pigment is applied, this will impair the breathing capability of the leather. <P> 1 Finished split leather The split section of the hide is coated with a pigment and finish and is then printed with a grain pattern designed to look like the top surface of the leather. 2 Finish split leather should only used in non contact areas. 1 Pigment Coated (Pigmented) Leather has had an additional surface coating added which is designed to add to its durability. <P> Pigmented or coated leather. Production. For these leathers the hides with the most natural features are used. A colour layer is applied to receive a pleasant levelling of the surface. The natural features are nearly no longer visible, they are coated, therefore the term “coated leathers“. Pigmented or coated leathers are carefree leathers, liquids are-as mentioned above-generally rejected and can be easily wiped up with a cloth. The not immediately visible body and hair fats affect also this kind of leather badly. <P> In general non-pigmented leather can be identified by the lack of a shiny and glossy surface, however this is not a foolproof method of identification. This type or leather tends to absorb oils and stains and develops a patina over time as the leather ages. Semi-Aniline leather is pure aniline leather that has a small amount of pigment or clear finish thus allowing the natural characteristics of the hide to still show through while offering some of the benefits of color consistency and increased wearability. <P> Leathers are made from the skins of many animals but mainly cattle, goat, sheep and pigskins. Although there is a great variety of leather types, a leather can usually be put into one of three categories 1 :-. Aniline. 2 Semi-aniline. 3 Pigmented (protected). Aniline leathers feel like real skin-light and flexible-whilst a heavily pigmented (protected) leather can feel rather like plastic.

how to cure bacon at home
|
<P> 1 Pat the bacon dry with a clean towel and set it on a rack over a baking sheet. 2 Allow the bacon to air-dry in the refrigerator for 6-24 hours. 3 At this point, you can slice it for green bacon or you can smoke or roast the whole belly. 1 Chill bacon well in the refrigerator, then with a long, very sharp knife, slice it thin or thick, as desired. 2 Use hard-to-slice pieces in pots of beans or soup. 3 Wrap your finished bacon in parchment paper and store. <P> 1 In a glass dish, use your very clean hands to slather the meat all over with the wet ingredients (if using) until thoroughly coated everywhere. 2 Place one half of the dry cure mixture in the bottom of the glass dish. 3 Place the wet pork belly into the dish and press it into the salt/sugar mix. 1 Chill bacon well in the refrigerator, then with a long, very sharp knife, slice it thin or thick, as desired. 2 Use hard-to-slice pieces in pots of beans or soup. 3 Wrap your finished bacon in parchment paper and store. <P> Canadian bacon is made from loin meat and is often called back bacon. It is much leaner, perhaps 10:1 meat to fat, and, because it is thicker, the curing time will be about two weeks instead of one week. In the US, it is called back bacon. Order boneless loin (not tenderloin) if you want to make this. Makin' bacon at home is surprisingly easy and the results are quantum leaps better than the stuff from large commercial producers. Once you have the basic recipe down, you can vary the ingredients to make a flavor profile to suit your taste. It is a simple two-step process: (1) Curing, and (2) smoking. <P> 1 Choose the right pork belly. 2 If you go to the time and trouble of curing and smoking your own bacon, start by procuring a pork belly worthy of your efforts. 3 This means from organic hogs (or hogs raised humanely without hormones or antibiotics). 4 Or from a heritage breed like Berkshire, Duroc, or Kurobuta. 1 The bottom of a pork belly usually comes with skin (rind), which will be tougher than the rest of the bacon. ( 2 It also blocks the absorption of the cure and smoke flavors.) Commercial smokehouses remove it using a slicing machine. 3 At home, you’ll have to work a bit harder. <P> 1 If you are only doing one pork belly, you can make a half or even quarter batch of curing salt. 2 Pour about 1/2 cup of the curing salt onto a large pan and press all sides of the pork belly into the curing salt to coat thoroughly. 3 Rub the salt into all surfaces of the pork and dredge so that it is completely coated. 1 Pour about 1/2 cup of the curing salt onto a large pan and press all sides of the pork belly into the curing salt to coat thoroughly. 2 <P> However, making bacon at home is actually not that hard. Here I will teach you a simple method how to make bacon, how to cure bacon and then bake or smoke it. It can then keep for a while in your fridge or even longer in your freezer. 1 Pour about 1/2 cup of the curing salt onto a large pan and press all sides of the pork belly into the curing salt to coat thoroughly. 2 Rub the salt into all surfaces of the pork and dredge so that it is completely coated. <P> Curing your own pork belly at home to make bacon is easy! Just follow these simple instructions and you'll be frying up your own bacon in no time! The recipe below is adapted from Michael Ruhlman's recipe from his popular book, Charcuterie. If you don’t have a smoker, you can use your oven (but alas, you will miss out on the smoky flavor that is classic to bacon). Place the pork belly in the smoker. You should have it set to a low smoke setting (200-220 degrees), and smoke the belly for 2 hours. After 2 hours, your pork belly will be almost this delicious looking <P> 1 You don't want to completely cook the meat, just flavor it. 2 Chill bacon well in the refrigerator, then with a long, very sharp knife, slice it thin or thick, as desired. 3 Use hard-to-slice pieces in pots of beans or soup. 4 Wrap your finished bacon in parchment paper and store. 1 Chill bacon well in the refrigerator, then with a long, very sharp knife, slice it thin or thick, as desired. 2 Use hard-to-slice pieces in pots of beans or soup. 3 <P> Bacon is God. To cure your own bacon, plan and shop for ingredients well in advance. You might need to special-order the pork belly from your local butcher or grocery store. You can order curing salt from online retailers such as www.sausagemaker.com; I recommend Insta-Cure #1. In this recipe, I offer three ways to smoke the bacon.

types of lipids
|
<P> The four types of lipids are triglycerides, fatty acids, phospholipids, and sterols (cholesterol). Triglycerides are important for metabolism and production of energy. Fatty acids are used to make lipids in cells, attatch to phosphate groups to form phospholipids, and they are used for storage. Phospholipids are the main part of cell membranes and assist in regulating cell environment. <P> The different types of lipids are triglycerides, sterols, and phospholipids. Triglycerides include many fats and sterols, including cholesterol. A phospholipid consists of … two fatty acids, glycerol, and a phosphate group. Joanna Grana Maciel. Lipids come in the form of fatty acids, waxes, steroids and neutral fats. They can also be in compound form, which occurs when the lipids combine with another chemical compound. Under the latter category are lipolipids, glycolipids, and phospholipids. 1 person found this useful. <P> Phospholipids consist of two fatty acid chains, a phosphate group and a glycerol group. Phospholipids are characterized by their hydrophobic--not soluble on water--tails, formed by the fatty acid chains and hydrophilic--soluble in water--heads. Overview. Lipids are a group of biological molecules that all share two distinct characteristics: they are insoluble in water, and they are rich in energy due to the number of carbon-hydrogen bonds. <P> Out of all lipid compounds; three types of lipids are more common. They are also called as neutral fats. The triglycerides have ester as functional group which comprised of one glycerol molecule (1,2,3-trihydroxypropane) combined with three fatty acids molecules. Lipids are primarily involve in the formation of cell membranes which is a bilipid layer and present in all living things like bacteria and human. Lipids also present in the form of more complex structures such as cholesterol and other biologically active molecules in living systems. <P> By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Lipids are a diverse group of fat-soluble biological molecules. Here is a look at different types of lipids and where they are found. 1 Triacylglycerols or Triglycerides. 2 The largest class of lipids goes by different names: triacylglycerols, triglycerides, glycerolipids, or fats <P> The different types of lipids are triglycerides, sterols, and phospholipids. Triglycerides include many fats and sterols, including cholesterol. A phospholipid consists of … two fatty acids, glycerol, and a phosphate group. Triglycerides are important for metabolism and production of energy. Fatty acids are used to make lipids in cells, attatch to phosphate groups to form phospholipids, and they are used for storage. Phospholipids are the main part of cell membranes and assist in regulating cell environment. <P> Lipids are a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids, and others. Fatty acids or fatty acid residues when they form part of a lipid, are a diverse group of molecules synthesized by chain-elongation of an acetyl-CoA primer with malonyl-CoA or methylmalonyl-CoA groups in a process called fatty acid synthesis. <P> This is the last class of macromolecules. Unlike the previous groups, however, lipids are a chemically diverse group of molecules that all share a common property: they are (relatively) insoluble in water due to their hydrophobicity (and thus soluble in other lipids).

what is pet flooring material made of
|
<P> Vinyl flooring is a popular flooring option for families with pets. Luxury vinyl and vinyl sheet are highly durable, long-lasting, and resistant to moisture, scratches and dents. They are also easy to maintain. And here's another benefit of vinyl: it softens the sound of your pet’s nails when they walk across the floor. <P> But it is most popular as a floor covering. Vinyl flooring is made up of layers of material starting with a core of vinyl over a backing of felt or fiberglass. Decorative designs are printed on the next layer that sits on top of the core. That decorative design layer is what makes vinyl flooring so versatile. It can be made to look like almost any material. <P> Whether it is recycled or natural rubber, flooring that is made from either one is very comfortable. Rubber floors bring with them a superior level of anti-fatigue comfort that is hard to find in other types of flooring. The rubber material is softer and more forgiving surface to stand on than wood or concrete. <P> Our flooring products are manufactured with natural or recycled and reclaimed rubbers, adopting the materials’ incredible durability and protective qualities. However, rubber’s versatility is the characteristic that makes our flooring products so incredibly useful for a variety of needs. <P> You’ll want to find durable, easy-care Flooring that accommodates your dog or pet ’s size, age and temperament. Some pet-friendly products are also eco-friendly; good for your pets, and good for the earth. <P> PET BCF Polyester Carpet is manufactured using recycled plastic bottles made with polyethylene terephthalate, also known as PET. The BCF portion stands for Bulked Continuous Filament, which describes the construction of the carpet yarn. <P> If you want the cleanest, most sustainable carpet for your home, opt for EverStrand. ® This premium PET polyester fiber is thoroughly purified for the cleanest strand and easy to keep clean with advanced soil and stain protection. And, with up to 100% recycled content, it's the world's most sustainable carpet. <P> Recycled rubber is a remarkably durable kind of elastomer that is made from vehicle tires. Rubber floors made from this cost-effective material demonstrate a clear ability to shield existing flooring from physical shock and impact, while also being durable enough to maintain their form.

<P> + More. On Dec. 7, 1941, radios buzzed with the news that several hundred Japanese planes attacked a U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, killing more than 2,400 Americans as well as damaging or destroying eight Navy battleships and more than 100 planes. <P> A+E Networks. Just before 8 a.m. on December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. On December 7, 1941, Japan launches a surprise attack on American soil at Pearl Harbor. 1 Contents. 2 Pearl Harbor and the Road to War. “ 3 A Date Which Will Live in Infamy”. <P> Naval Station Pearl Harbor is a United States naval base adjacent to Honolulu, Hawaii. In 2010, along with the United States Air Force 's Hickam Air Force Base, the facility was merged to form Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam. Pearl Harbor is the headquarters of the United States Pacific Fleet. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan on Sunday, 7 December 1941 brought the United States into World War II. Over the years, Pearl Harbor remained a main base for the US Pacific Fleet after World War II along with Naval Base San Diego. In 2010, the Navy and the Air Force merged their two nearby bases; Pearl Harbor joined with Hickam Air Force Base to create Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. <P> While the 1920s were largely a time of austerity at Pearl Harbor as post-World War I appropriations decreased, the base continued to grow. By 1934, the Minecraft Base, Fleet Air Base, and Submarine Base had been added to the existing Navy Yard and Naval District. Beginning in the first half of the 19th century, Pearl Harbor was identified as possible location for a naval base by the United States, Great Britain, and France. Its desirability was reduced however by the shallow water and reefs that blocked its narrow entrance. <P> The first wave of Japanese planes reached the U.S. Naval Station at Pearl Harbor (located on the south side of the Hawaiian island of Oahu) at 7:55 a.m. on December 7, 1941. Just before the first bombs dropped on Pearl Harbor, Commander Mitsuo Fuchida, leader of the air attack, called out, Tora! Tora! <P> Pearl Harbor Naval Base, Hawaii, was attacked by Japanese torpedo and bomber planes on December 7, 1941, at 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time. The sneak attack sparked outrage in the American populace, news media, government and the world. The American fleet was under the command of Admiral Husband E. Kimmel and the ground troops were commanded by Lt. General Walter C. Short. Pearl Harbor was the hub of American naval power since King Kalakua gave the right to the U.S. to develop a coal station there in 1887. <P> Located eight miles west of Honolulu, Pearl Harbor is home to the largest naval base in the United States. Access to much of the area is restricted to military personnel, but the numerous World War II memorials found here make it one of the most visited tourist sites on the island of Oahu. <P> Introduction.

genetic disorder vs chromosomal disorder
|
<P> Chromosomal disorders of structure occur when there are physical changes to the chromosome that alter its configuration. In TRANSLOCATION, fragments of a chromosome break away and reattach to other chromosomes or are lost, potentially changing several chromosomes with unpredictable and random results. <P> Genetic defects and chromosomal abnormalities are both sometimes called genetic conditions or genetic disorders, but the difference lies in how much of the DNA is actually affected. <P> Researchers are learning that nearly all conditions and diseases have a genetic component. Some disorders, such as sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis, are caused by mutations in a single gene. The causes of many other disorders, however, are much more complex. <P> The overlap in heritability attributable to common genetic variation was about 15 percent between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, about 10 percent between bipolar disorder and depression, about 9 percent between schizophrenia and depression, and about 3 percent between schizophrenia and autism. <P> Although it is possible to inherit some types of chromosomal abnormalities, most chromosomal disorders (such as Down syndrome and Turner syndrome) are not passed from one generation to the next. Some chromosomal conditions are caused by changes in the number of chromosomes. <P> Another common classification for genetic disorders is dominant or recessive. Some common genetic disorder classifications are: 1 An autosomal dominant disorder may be inherited from one parent who is affected. 2 Dominant means the nonfunctional gene of the gene-pair is able to override the normal gene. <P> Genetic Disorders. Genetic disorders can happen for many reasons. Genetic disorders often are described in terms of the chromosome that contains the gene. If the gene is on one of the first 22 pairs of chromosomes, called the autosomes, the genetic disorder is called an autosomal condition. If the gene is on the X chromosome, the disorder is called X-linked. Genetic disorders also are grouped by how they run in families. Disorders can be dominant or recessive, depending on how they cause conditions and

how much will a brick wall cost
|
<P> 1 Do-it-yourself materials cost about $10-$15 a square face foot. 2 ThisOldHouse.com provides a video showing how to build a block wall, calling the project challenging and estimating it will take two people 8-10 hours for a low wall 10-16 feet long. 1 Material and labor for a wood retaining wall runs approximately $20-$25 a square face foot (and there's usually a minimum charge for small projects), which would be about $1,000-$1,300 for a 50-square-face-foot wall. <P> 1 Materials and installation for a stone retaining wall start around $25-$40 a square face foot and go up depending on materials, site conditions, and other factors. 2 It costs $1,250-$2,000 or more for a wall 30 inches high and 20 feet long. 1 Material and labor for a wood retaining wall runs approximately $20-$25 a square face foot (and there's usually a minimum charge for small projects), which would be about $1,000-$1,300 for a 50-square-face-foot wall. <P> Brick Walls-Pricing and Installation Cost Notes. Homewyse cost estimates are approximate ranges for basic work in typical conditions. The estimates should only be used for preliminary planning. Homewyse estimates are NOT substitutes for quotes from qualified vendors. Do you need to know the average cost to install Brick Walls in your zip code? Do you need an easy-to-understand 2015 estimate of Brick Wall job options and costs? Get pricing INSTANTLY. <P> Cost of Materials. The cost of adding a new wall to a home depends on the material used. Brick walls are often an affordable option, and a hollow brick wall costs around $25.40 per square foot. Hollow bricks feature a unique design with a durable shell and a hollow space in the center of each brick. Traditional brick walls cost around $14.10 per square foot. A natural stone wall will cost around $8 to $12 per square foot based on the type of stone chosen. A concrete block wall costs $6.10 to $7.60 per linear foot. Homeowners will also need to pay for any other materials needed, including steel bars, sand to keep the stones from rubbing against each other and mortar <P> 1. The cost of the bricks can vary greatly depending on the type of brick and the quantity required. 2.The cost of cement in the mortar can also vary depending on what type is required and how strong a mix is needed, also if you need to colour the mortar this also needs to be alocated for in your calculations. <P> Homeowners planning on the installation of a brick wall will have some additional costs beyond the purchase of the main material for the project. Bricks must be bonded together with mortar. The mortar and other supplies to construct a brick wall add an average of $1.20 per finished square foot of wall. A brick wall may be constructed by a handyman, masonry specialist or a general contractor. The average cost per hour for a handyman or general contractor to install a brick wall is $44.50. The average cost per hour to hire a masonry specialist for the construction of a brick wall is $62. <P> How Much Does Brick Cost? The day you buy your brick home, the total cost should be in this range: 6 to 7% more than vinyl; 3 to 4% more than fiber cement; or 10 to 19% less than stone--for a home in the $250,000, 2,500 square foot range. The extra upfront cost for brick translates into only a small increase in your monthly mortgage payments, likely no more than $50 per month for a $250,000 house. 2. Every year, compare d to vinyl and fiber cement siding, you will save up to 5% on homeowners insurance. <P> The overall cost of your brick wall will vary considerably depending upon the materials you use to construct it. Brick can be an affordable option, but there are different types of bricks. Hollow bricks cost between $23 and $29 per square foot, while traditional brick costs closer to $14 per square foot. Hollow bricks are going to cost about double per square foot compared to traditional bricks. Hollow bricks are made of a durable outer shell with a hollow center. Mitigating factors may include how big you want your brick wall to be, or how difficult of a location you plan to build the wall. According to industry averages, people spend anywhere from $4,000 to $20,000 installing a brick wall.

why should the long-term care system be equipped to provide a variety of ltc services
|
<P> Long-term care is a variety of services and supports to meet health or personal care needs over an extended period of time. While long-term care is often associated with nursing homes, the truth is that most care is actually provided at home. <P> Accordingly, long term care includes a wide range of services that are tailored to individual needs (based on the individuals functional assessment) Long term care services must be integrated because the services require appropriate interfacing with the delivery of primary care, mental health care, and acute care. <P> UTILIZATION AND COST CONTROLS. Removing financial barriers to LTC will increase demand for formal services. Long-term care insurance could legitimately result in a 20% increase in nursing home utilization and a 50% to 100% increase in use of community and home health care by the elderly. <P> Most long-term care is provided at home. Other kinds of long-term care services and supports are provided by community service organizations and in long-term care facilities. Examples of home care services include: 1 An unpaid caregiver who may be a family member or friend. <P> The resources provided here are intended to assist individuals in planning for their current and/or future long-term care needs. Older Americans Act (OAA) programs provide home and community-based services through State and Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) in each state to individuals over 60 years of age. <P> Long-term care services and support typically come from: 1 An unpaid caregiver who may be a family member or friend. 2 A nurse, home health or home care aide, and/or therapist who comes to the home. 3 Adult day services in the area. 4 A variety of long-term care facilities. <P> Long-term care means helping people of any age with their medical needs or daily activities over a long period of time. Long-term care can be provided at home, in the community, or in various types of facilities. This section deals mainly with older people who need long-term care. <P> Long-term care services are those health, social, housing, transportation, and other supportive services needed by persons with physical, mental, or cognitive limitations sufficient to compromise independent living. The United States has a complicated and overlapping array of financing and service programs for LTC. <P> Formal LTC is provided by various community-based and institutional agencies who get reimbursed for the services they deliver. Informal LTC is provided by family and friends who do not get paid for the services they provide. Informal care reduces the use of formal home health care and delays nursing home enty. <P> Long-term care is provided in different places by different caregivers, depending on a person's needs. Most long-term care is provided at home by unpaid family members and friends. It can also be given in a facility such as a nursing home or in the community, for example, in an adult day care center.

causes of microscopic blood detection in the urine
|
<P> During routine visits to your health care provider, you are often asked to give a urine sample for testing. Many tests are done routinely, like checking for sugar (diabetes), bacteria (infection) and blood. Blood in the urine that you do not see is called microscopic hematuria.. This blood is only visible under a microscope. There are many causes and most are not serious, but may call for care by your health care provider. <P> Blood in the urine (hematuria) can originate from any site along the urinary tract and, whether gross or microscopic, may be a sign of serious underlying disease, including malignancy. The literature agrees that gross hematuria warrants a thorough diagnostic evaluation. <P> In hematuria, your kidneys — or other parts of your urinary tract — allow blood cells to leak into urine. A number of problems can cause this leakage, including: Urinary tract infections. Urinary tract infections often occur when bacteria enter your body through the urethra and begin to multiply in your bladder. 1 So can Alport syndrome, which affects the filtering membranes in the glomeruli of the kidneys. 2 Kidney injury. 3 A blow or other injury to your kidneys from an accident or contact sports can cause blood in your urine that you can see. 4 Medications. <P> Other forms of kidney disease (e.g. diabetes, immune disease or viral infection) may also cause blood to be seen in the urine. Physical damage to the kidneys through accident or contact sports, such as boxing, may also cause blood to appear in the urine. Bladder and kidney stones may both lead to the presence of blood in the urine due to the physical damage they can cause in the affected organ. Inherited conditions such as Alport syndrome and sickle cell anaemia can also cause the symptoms of hematuria. Inflammation of the prostate may also lead to hematuria. Cancer in the bladder, prostate or kidneys may also cause the presence of blood in urine; however, this usually will only occur once the cancer has become quite advanced and more difficult to treat. <P> The causes of gross and microscopic hematuria are similar and may result from bleeding anywhere along the urinary tract. One cannot readily distinguish between blood originating in the kidneys, ureters (the tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder), bladder, or urethra. Any degree of blood in the urine should be fully evaluated by a physician, even if it resolves spontaneously. Infection of the urine, (often called a urinary tract infection or UTI) stemming either from the kidneys or bladder, is a common cause of microscopic hematuria. Urine is naturally sterile and should not contain bacteri <P> 1 Even if your bleeding was first discovered through urine testing (urinalysis), you're likely to have another test to see if your urine still contains red blood cells. 2 Urinalysis can also check for urinary tract infection or the presence of minerals that cause kidney stones. Sometimes, the cause of urinary bleeding may not be found. In that case, your doctor may recommend regular follow-up tests, especially if you have risk factors for bladder cancer, such as smoking, exposure to environmental toxins or a history of radiation therapy. 1 Preparing for your appointment. 2 Treatments and drug <P> 1 Urine tests. 2 Even if your bleeding was first discovered through urine testing (urinalysis), you're likely to have another test to see if your urine still contains red blood cells. 3 Urinalysis can also check for urinary tract infection or the presence of minerals that cause kidney stones.

causes of demyelination
|
<P> Viral infections cause a variety of demyelinating diseases in animals and humans. Demyelinating diseases are defined as disorders of the central or peripheral nervous system with destruction of myelin and relative preservation of axons. The pathogenesis of the demyelination is different with different infections; these mechanisms range from direct infection and lysis of oligodendrocytes to immune destruction of myelin or supporting cells by cell-mediated immune responses, antibody, or cytokines (see Box 1-1). <P> Causes of Demyelination. Inflammation is the most common cause of myelin damage. Other causes include: 1 inflammation. 2 infection with certain viruses. 3 metabolic problems. 4 loss of oxygen. 5 physical compression. MS is a chronic disease where demyelination occurs in the white matter of the brain and in the spinal cord. In areas where myelin is under attack by the immune system, lesions or “plaques” form. These plaques are scar tissue. The name “sclerosis” means scar <P> Organophosphates, a class of chemicals which are the active ingredients in commercial insecticides such as sheep dip, weed-killers, and flea treatment preparations for pets, etc., will also demyelinate nerves. Neuroleptics can also cause demyelination. The demyelinating diseases of the peripheral nervous system include: 1 Guillain-Barre barré syndrome and its chronic, counterpart chronic inflammatory demyelinating. 2 Polyneuropathy-ANTI mag peripheral. 3 Neuropathy-Charcot-Marie Tooth. disease <P> Demyelination is the breakdown of the protective covering of the nerve fibers in the spinal cord and brain. This protective covering, called a myelin sheath, helps promote proper nerve function. Demyelination is a condition known as demyelinating disease. There are several causes of demyelination. Myelin, found in the insulating white matter around the nerves, is an important part of the nerves. During transmission of information, myelin has the responsibility of receiving and interpreting the messages sent from the brain. <P> The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of Demyelination. There are likely to be other possible causes, so ask your doctor about your symptoms. 1 Alzheimer's disease. 2 Multiple sclerosis. 3 Age related. 4 Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy-CIDP. 5 Organophosphates. 6 Guillain Barre syndrome. Other medical conditions listed in the Disease Database as possible causes of Demyelination as a symptom include: 1 Abetalipoproteinaemia. 2 Alexander disease. 3 Aspartylglucosaminuria. 4 Central pontine myelinosis. 5 Diffuse sclerosis of Schilder. 6 Familial Danish dementia. 7 Hereditary sensorimotor neuropathy type 3. 8 Levamisole. <P> Demyelination occurs when there is a breakdown of the protective covering of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord.

what is an inconclusive biopsy
|
<P> A biopsy is a procedure to remove a piece of tissue or a sample of cells from your body so that it can be analyzed in a laboratory. <P> Excisional biopsy. A skin (cutaneous) biopsy removes cells from the surface of your body. A skin biopsy is used most often to diagnose skin conditions, including cancers, such as melanoma. What type of skin biopsy you undergo will depend on the type of cancer suspected and the extent of the suspicious cells. Skin biopsy procedures include: 1 Shave biopsy. If the cells are cancerous, the biopsy results can tell your doctor where the cancer originated — the type of cancer. A biopsy also helps your doctor determine how aggressive your cancer is — the cancer's grade. <P> The doctors said my biospy was inconclusive more test needed I thought doing a biospy gives you a yes or no answer. I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with this issue. It sounds like you are being evaluated for potential breast cancer, and this can be a very stressful time. Alternatively, it could be because the tissue had some abnormalities or irregularities in it that were of unclear significance. Your doctor will work closely with the pathologist who examined the biopsy sample and also potentially with a surgeon to determine what the next step is. <P> So she had thyroid biopsy done but that was also inconclusive. Doctor's office told her that not enough sample was taken to make a conclusive determination. So Doctor's office is... show more My wife noticed that area around her thyroid had slight bump. So she had ultrasound done but it was inconclusive. So she had thyroid biopsy done but that was also inconclusive. Doctor's office told her that not enough sample was taken to make a conclusive determination. So Doctor's... Source(s): thyroid biopsy inconclusive: https://trimurl.im/g24/why-would-thyroid... <P> If the cells in question can't be accessed with other biopsy procedures or if other biopsy results have been inconclusive, your doctor may recommend a surgical biopsy. During a surgical biopsy, a surgeon makes an incision in your skin to access the suspicious area of cells. If the cells are cancerous, the biopsy results can tell your doctor where the cancer originated — the type of cancer. A biopsy also helps your doctor determine how aggressive your cancer is — the cancer's grade. <P> The node results were inconclusive due to necrotic tissue collected. The biopsy of the mass returned as non malignant but also mentioned necrotic tissue. Her oncologist still suspects cancer and we are awaiting removal of the lymph node for biopsy of some live tissue. The wait and see game is tough. <P> There are many reasons that a breast biopsy could be inconclusive. This could be because the amount of tissue that was obtained was not sufficient to reach a conclusion (for example, if you had a needle biopsy, this can sometimes happen). Alternatively, it could be because the tissue had some abnormalities or irregularities in it that were of unclear significance. Your doctor will work closely with the pathologist who examined the biopsy sample and also potentially with a surgeon to determine what the next step is. <P> A biopsy is a medical procedure that involves taking a small sample of body tissue so it can be examined under a microscope. A tissue sample can be taken from almost anywhere on or in your body, including the skin, organs and other structures. A biopsy is sometimes inconclusive, which means it hasn't produced a definitive result. In this case, the biopsy may need to be repeated, or other tests may be required to confirm your diagnosis. Page last reviewed: 17/06/2015. <P> 40% helpful. Linda Ackerman, R.N. answered... Inconclusive could mean that there were not enough cells to test, based on the biopsy sample, or something could have gone wrong during the shipping and handling of the tissue, which hindered the pathologist ability to analyze the cells. I would recommend asking your physician specifically about the findings:

nitrosamines which are known to cause cancer are used in
|
<P> In addition to a variety of nitrosamines, other cancer-causing substances in smokeless tobacco include polonium–210 (a radioactive element found in tobacco fertilizer) and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (also known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) (1). Smokeless tobacco is tobacco that is not burned. It is also known as chewing tobacco, oral tobacco, spit or spitting tobacco, dip, chew, and snuff. Most people chew or suck (dip) the tobacco in their mouth and spit out the tobacco juices that build up, although “spitless” smokeless tobacco has also been developed. <P> At least 28 chemicals in smokeless tobacco have been found to cause cancer (1). The most harmful chemicals in smokeless tobacco are tobacco-specific nitrosamines, which are formed during the growing, curing, fermenting, and aging of tobacco. Smokeless tobacco is tobacco that is not burned. It is also known as chewing tobacco, oral tobacco, spit or spitting tobacco, dip, chew, and snuff. Most people chew or suck (dip) the tobacco in their mouth and spit out the tobacco juices that build up, although “spitless” smokeless tobacco has also been developed. <P> In a recent study, cancer researchers found that oral tobacco products, including lozenges and moist snuff, are not a good alternative to smoking, since the levels of cancer-causing nitrosamines in smokeless tobacco and lozenges are very high. Cancer. Smokeless tobacco is a cancer-causing agent, also known as a carcinogen. Cancers are most likely to develop at the site where tobacco is held in the mouth, but it may also include the lips, tongue, cheek, and throat. Leukoplakia. <P> 1 Smokeless tobacco products are a major source of cancer-causing nitrosamines and a known cause of human cancer. 2 They increase the risk of developing cancer of the mouth and throat, esophagus (swallowing tube), and pancreas. 1 Tobacco use accounts for at least 30% of all cancer deaths, causing 87% of lung cancer deaths in men, and 70% of lung cancer deaths in women. ( 2 Source: Cancer Facts & Figures 2014). <P> Theoretically, nitrosamines could be contributing to the non-estrogen dependent breast cancers as this chemical causes DNA mutations in general, according to mammalian laboratory studies. There are obvious sources of nitrosamines; nitrite preserved food like luncheon meats, bacon or smoked fish. But there are non obvious sources as well; some beers contain nitrosamines from the brewing process, tobacco products and any food item that is in a non breathing container. <P> Carcinogenic (cancer causing) Effects It is believed that after nitrate is converted to nitrite in the body, it can react with certain amine-containing substances found in food to form nitrosamines, which are known to be potent cancer causing chemicals. Pesticide exposure has been associated with an increased risk for NHL. There is no strong evidence that nitrate and nitrite can cause cancer in the absence of the amine-containing substances necessary for the formation of nitrosamines in the body. <P> As long ago as 1986, the advisory committee to the Surgeon General concluded that the use of smokeless tobacco “is not a safe substitute for smoking cigarettes. It can cause cancer and a number of noncancerous oral conditions and can lead to nicotine addiction and dependence” (5). Smokeless tobacco is tobacco that is not burned. It is also known as chewing tobacco, oral tobacco, spit or spitting tobacco, dip, chew, and snuff. Most people chew or suck (dip) the tobacco in their mouth and spit out the tobacco juices that build up, although “spitless” smokeless tobacco has also been developed. <P> NDMA and other nitrosamines are among the chemicals known to the state to cause cancer [Title 27, California Code of Regulations, Section 27001], pursuant to California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) . NDMA and other nitrosamines can cause cancer in laboratory animals. The NTP identifies a number of them as reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens (NTP, 201), and US EPA classifies a number them as probable human carcinogens (see US EPA's IRIS). <P> Nitrosamines can cause cancers in a wide variety of animal species, a feature that suggests that they may also be carcinogenic in humans. At present, available epidemiological evidence from case-control studies on nitrite and nitrosamine intake supports a positive association with gastric cancer risk. In the 1970s, there was an increased frequency of liver cancer found in Norwegian farm animals. The farm animals had been fed on herring meal, which was preserved using sodium nitrite. The sodium nitrite had reacted with dimethylamine in the fish and produced dimethylnitrosamine. <P> No. There is no scientific evidence that using smokeless tobacco can help a person quit smoking (7). Because all tobacco products are harmful and cause cancer, the use of all tobacco products is strongly discouraged. There is no safe level of tobacco use. Smokeless tobacco is tobacco that is not burned. It is also known as chewing tobacco, oral tobacco, spit or spitting tobacco, dip, chew, and snuff. Most people chew or suck (dip) the tobacco in their mouth and spit out the tobacco juices that build up, although “spitless” smokeless tobacco has also been developed.

<P> The name organelle comes from the idea that these structures are to cells what an organ is to the body (hence the name organelle, the suffix-elle being a diminutive). Under the more restricted definition of membrane-bound structures, some parts of the cell do not qualify as organelles. Nevertheless, the use of organelle to refer to non-membrane bound structures such as ribosomes is common. This has led some texts to delineate between membrane-bound and non-membrane bound <P> Animal Cell Structure Animal cells are typical of the eukaryotic cell, enclosed by a plasma membrane and containing a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles.

what drugs does narcan reverse
|
<P> Naloxone is an special narcotic drug that reverses the effects of other narcotic medicines. Naloxone is used to reverse the effects of narcotic drugs used during surgery or to treat pain. Naloxone may also be used to treat narcotic drug overdose or to diagnose narcotic drug addiction. Naloxone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide <P> In this article. A medication called naloxone can reverse the effects of an overdose of heroin or some types of painkillers. Paramedics and emergency room doctors have used it for years to save lives. Naloxone blocks the effects of drugs made from opium, or opioids. These include: 1 heroin. 2 morphine. 3 oxycodone. 4 methadone. 5 fentanyl. 6 hydrocodone. 7 codeine. 8 hydromorphone. <P> Naloxone, also known as Narcan among other names, is a medication used to reverse the effects of opioids especially in overdose. Naloxone may be combined within the same pill as an opioid to decrease the risk of misuse. When given intravenously it works within two minutes and when injected into a muscle it works within five minutes. The medication may also be used in the nose. The effects of naloxone last about half an hour to an hour. <P> Last reviewed on RxList 4/29/2015. Narcan (naloxone) is an opioid antagonist and is used for the complete or partial reversal of opioid overdose, including respiratory depression. It is also used for diagnosis of suspected or known acute opioid overdose and also for blood pressure support in septic shock. NARCAN (naloxone) is an opioid antagonist. Physical dependence associated with the use of NARCAN (naloxone) has not been reported. Tolerance to the opioid antagonist effect of NARCAN (naloxone) is not known to occur. <P> Reversal Agents and Other Sedative Agents. The advantages to using narcotics and the benzodiazapines is that there are specific reversal agents for both those classes of drugs. For the narcotics, the reversal agent is naloxone or narcan, and for the benzodiazapines the reversal agent is flumazinal or rumazicon. <P> Narcan is available as a generic termed naloxone. Common side effects of Narcan are flushing, dizziness, tiredness, weakness, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, body aches, diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea, fever, chills, goosebumps, sneezing, shortness of breath, or runny nose. NARCAN (naloxone) is an opioid antagonist. Physical dependence associated with the use of NARCAN (naloxone) has not been reported. Tolerance to the opioid antagonist effect of NARCAN (naloxone) is not known to occur. <P> Complete or Partial Reversal of Opioid Depression. NARCAN (naloxone) prevents or reverses the effects of opioids including respiratory depression, sedation and hypotension. Also, NARCAN (naloxone) can reverse the psychotomimetic and dysphoric effects of agonist-antagonists such as pentazocine. <P> Naloxone is a pure opioid antagonist. It works by reversing the depression of the central nervous system and respiratory system caused by opioids. Naloxone was patented in 1961 by Jack Fishman, Mozes J. Lewenstein, and the company Sankyo. The drug was approved for opioid overdose by Food and Drug Administration in 1971. Naloxone may be combined within the same pill as an opioid to decrease the risk of misuse. When given intravenously it works within two minutes and when injected into a muscle it works within five minutes. The medication may also be used in the nose. The effects of naloxone last about half an hour to an hour. <P> 1 Review. Naloxone is an special narcotic drug that reverses the effects of other narcotic medicines. Naloxone is used to reverse the effects of narcotic drugs used during surgery or to treat pain. Naloxone may also be used to treat narcotic drug overdose or to diagnose narcotic drug addiction. Naloxone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. <P> Narcan™ (naloxone) is an opiate antidote. Opioids include heroin and prescription pain pills like morphine, codeine, oxycodone, methadone and Vicodin. When a person is overdosing on an opioid, breathing can slow down or stop and it can very hard to wake them from this state. If a person has taken opioids and is then given Narcan™ (naloxone), the opioids will be knocked out of the opiate receptors in the brain. Narcan™ (naloxone) can help even if opioids are taken with alcohol or other drugs.

what is milk fever
|
<P> Milk Fever (Hypocalcaemia). Milk fever is a misnomer. It is not a fever, and doesn't always have to do with milk production. It is actually low blood calcium, which is known as hypocalcaemia. <P> Eclampsia, also called milk fever or puerperal tetany, is an acute, life-threatening disease caused by low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia) in dogs and more rarely in cats. The lactating animal is especially susceptible to blood calcium depletion because of milk production. <P> Email Article. Eclampsia, also called milk fever or puerperal tetany, is an acute, life-threatening disease caused by low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia) in dogs and more rarely in cats. The lactating animal is especially susceptible to blood calcium depletion because of milk production. <P> Milk fever is probably the most common metabolic disorder in dairy cattle. The condition usually occurs just before, during or immediately after parturition. This condition is also likely to be the most common cause of apparent sudden death in dairy cows, and is a common cause of dystocia and stillborn calves. <P> Milk fever, postparturient hypocalcemia, or parturient paresis is a disease, usually of dairy cows, characterized by reduced blood calcium levels (see: Hypocalcemia). It is most common in the first few days of lactation, when demand for calcium for milk production exceeds the body’s ability to mobilize calcium reserves. <P> Milk fever (or hypcalcaemia) is the result of a reduction of blood calcium in the early stages of lactation. This is due to the cow having a sudden, dramatically increased demand for calcium to produce milk.

what is elevated rdw blood test
|
<P> RDW is the abbreviation for red blood cell distribution width.. According to Lab Tests Online, RDW calculates the varying sizes of red blood cell (RBC) volume in a blood sample. An RDW test is usually performed as part of a CBC, or complete blood count. <P> RDW stands for the red blood cell distribution width. This is a standard reported measure on a complete blood count (CBC) lab test. It measures the variability in red blood cell size. In the normal state, red blood cells are continually being produced and removed from the blood at a steady rate. <P> 77 Followers. A. RDW stands for the red blood cell distribution width. This is a standard reported measure on a complete blood count (CBC) lab test. It measures the variability in red blood cell size. In the normal state, red blood cells are continually being produced and removed from the blood at a steady rate. <P> RDW is elevated in accordance with variation in red cell size (anisocytosis), ie, when elevated RDW is reported on complete blood count, marked anisocytosis (increased variation in red cell size) is expected on peripheral blood smear review. <P> The red blood cell distribution width (“RDW”) test is normally done when the complete blood count is ordered by the health practitioner. The RDW test measures the variations in size of red blood cells. <P> Red cell distribution width (RDW) laboratory test is a part of a standard complete blood count (CBC), and it is used along with other RBC indices, especially mean corpuscular volume (MCV) to help determine the causes of anemia. <P> 105347. Red cell distribution width is a clinical measure that is used to assess the size of the red blood cells or calculate the volume of the red blood cells. It forms a part of the complete blood count i.e. CBC analysis.
