Coffee plants are cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the Americas, Southeast Asia, India, and Africa. <P> Vitamins and minerals. Coffee isn't a great source of vitamins and minerals, but as a plant-based drink, it contains some, and a few that we should be getting more of. Let's start with magnesium. A cup of coffee contains about 7 mg, which is a drop in the daily-requirement bucket (420 mg for men, 320 mg for women). <P> Coffee is slightly acidic (pH 5.0–5.1) and can have a stimulating effect on humans because of its caffeine content. Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world. It can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (e.g., espresso, cappuccino, cafe latte, etc.). It is usually served hot, although iced coffee is also served. <P> Caffeine has been studied more than any other ingredient in coffee, and it tends to get credit if the body part benefited is the brain. But coffee contains literally a thousand different substances, and some of the lesser lights are thought to be responsible for healthful effects in other parts of the body. <P> Decaffeinated coffee has some caffeine, but the 2 to 4 mg in an 8-ounce cup is a smidgen compared with the caffeinated version. The lethal dose of caffeine is about 10 grams, which is equivalent to the amount of caffeine in 100 cups of coffee. <P> Although coffee is referred to as a bean, it is actually the seed of a piece of fruit, known as a coffee cherry. They were termed ‘beans’, as they resemble the appearance of actual beans. The cherries are hand picked, and the seed is separated from the fruit.

what does coronal suture separate
|
<P> The coronal suture is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint that separates the frontal and parietal bones of the skull. At birth, the bones of the skull do not meet. If certain bones of the skull grow too fast then premature closure of the sutures may occur. This can result in skull deformities. There are two possible deformities that can be caused by the premature closure of the coronal suture: 1 a high, tower-like skull called oxycephaly <P> Superior view. 1 The coronal suture separates the frontal bone and the parietal bone. 2 The coronal and the sagittal sutures converge into the bregma. 3 The sagittal and lambdoid sutures are also visible from this angle.he cranial sutures are fibrous joints connecting the bones of the skull. To the unknowing individual these shallow grooves may look like fractures. In fact the intricate windy lines of these thin lines mark the adherence between the bones and the growth and closure of the cranial fontanelles. <P> Craniosynostosis (from cranio, cranium; + syn, together; + ostosis relating to bone) is a condition in which one or more of the fibrous sutures in an infant skull prematurely fuses by turning into bone (ossification), thereby changing the growth pattern of the skull.he second most common type is the coronal synostosis representing 20 to 25%. The metopic synostosis comes third with 5 to 15% and the lambdoid synostosis is only seen in 0 to 5% of nonsyndromic cases. In about 5 to 15% more than one suture is affected, which referred to as complex craniosynostosis. <P> Two parietal bones and frontal b … ones-there is only one frontal bone, the coronal suture joins the two parietal and the one frontal bone The coronal suture connect the frontal bone to the parietal bones of the skull. Frontal and parietal. Parietal and frontal.. The coronal suture connects the frontal bone to the parietal bones. The frontal and parietal bones are connected by the coronal suture.

A young child’s head is composed of six bony plates that fuse together as the child ages. The edges of the plates are connected and form what is known as a suture. Sutures are very strong, flexible tissues that hold the cranial bones together. When two sutures join, they form a membrane known as a “soft spot” or fontanelle.

how long for a hard boil egg
|
<P> Place your eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat and set aside 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel. How to Make Deviled Eggs: Transfer hard-boiled eggs to a bowl of ice water with a slotted spoon and let cool. <P> For hard-boiled eggs, put the eggs in a pan and cover them with cold water. This way you'll have less of a chance of breaking them. Bring to a boil, put a lid on it and turn off the heat. Let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes. <P> Directions. Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking. <P> Depending on how cooked you like your hard boiled eggs, the eggs should be done perfectly in 10-12 minutes. That said, depending on your altitude, the shape of the pan, the size of the eggs, the ratio of water to eggs, it can take a few minutes more. <P> For a hard-boiled egg, start the egg in cold water and bring up to the boil. Once the water is gently boiling, set the timer for between 7-10 minutes depending on how well cooked you like your eggs. The longer you boil the egg, the firmer it will be.

what is the spread of a tree
|
<P> The crown of a tree consists of the mass of foliage and branches growing outward from the trunk of the tree. The average crown spread is the average horizontal width of the crown, taken from dripline to dripline as one moves around the crown. Some listings will also list the maximum crown spread which represents the greatest width from dripline to dripline across the crown. Canopy mapping surveys the position and size of all of the limbs down to a certain size in the crown of the tree and is commonly used when measuring the overall wood volume of a tree. Average crown spread is one of the parameters commonly measured as part of various champion tree programs and documentation efforts. <P> Roots found during construction. Ultimately, comparing the spread of the root system to the spread of the canopy is problematic. The dripline is easily altered by pruning, and the roots will not shrink to match the pruned canopy. Trunk diameter is a more reliable predictor of root spread. A 2009 study by Susan Day and Eric Wiseman at Virginia Tech analyzed young trees less than 8 inches in diameter growing in unobstructed soil and found that the ratio of root radius to trunk diameter was about 38 to 1. <P> treeguy123 (AL 7b). Tree spread is simply how wide the trees branches eventually become (from one side of the tree strait thru the trunk to the other side). Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' slowly grows to 20 feet wide so it will have 10 foot long branches on each side of the trunk (10+10=20 feet). In might mean radius in UK or all of Europe for some odd reason, but in the U.S. Spread means just that, the spread of a tree (the diameter measurement of a trees crown). I believe most or all nursers in the U.S. mean this also. 20 feet is the mature width (spread) of Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood', not 40 feet. <P> 1 Person B then moves the ruler until the base of the tree is exactly at 0-inches and the top of the tree is sighted exactly at 10-inches. 2 Person B sights out from the ruler’s 1-inch mark to a point on the trunk above the base. The total of these measurements is the points awarded to a particular tree. A champion tree has accumulated the most points. If two trees of the same species have identical scores, the tree with the largest trunk circumference becomes champion. <P> For champion trees the Average Crown Spread is made by adding the smallest diameter of the crown and the largest diameter of the crown, then dividing it by two. i.e. 30 ft spread + 20 ft spread = 50 A· ã = 2 25 foot. Spread here is another example of a tree guide showing tree: spread'-25' 35. spread In might mean radius in UK or all of Europe for some odd reason, but in the U.S. Spread means just that, the spread of a tree (the diameter measurement of a trees crown). I believe most or all nursers in the U.S. mean this also. 20 feet is the mature width (spread) of Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood', not 40 feet. <P> The Redbud tree is a relatively small tree with spreading branches and a small short trunk. The Redbud is a poplar ornamental tree, which can be found in many gardens and streetscapes. The tree is one of the earliest flowering trees and is often used to add color to gardens. <P> The height and spread of an apple tree (Pyrus malus) depends on the type of tree, whether it is a standard, dwarf or semi-dwarf. To a certain degree, the height and spread of the tree can also be controlled through careful pruning and training. With the exception of standard apple trees, the size of your apple tree is controlled by the type of rootstock the scion has been grafted to. Dwarfing rootstocks have classifications that are used to indicate the eventual size of the fully grown, adult tree. These rootstocks control the height and spread of the tree. Malling 9 and Malling 26 are the rootstocks that have the most dwarfing effect. Malling 7 and Merton Malling 106 rootstocks produce the types of trees commonly referred to as semi-dwarf <P> Measuring a tree. Trees submitted as nominees for the Big Tree Registry must be measured with circumference in inches, and height and crown spread to the nearest foot. The total of these measurements is the points awarded to a particular tree. A champion tree has accumulated the most points. If two trees of the same species have identical scores, the tree with the largest trunk circumference becomes champion.

The TRIA was enacted in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. It was created to enable commercial insurers to provide reasonable terrorism coverage to policyholders who are subjected to acts of terrorism. <P> Policies. All Risk property and casualty policies cover certifiedand non-certified acts of terrorism prescribed by TRIP. Per-occurrence limits, deductibles, locations, a one-year policy term and cancellation provisions mirror those of the property or casualty policy in which the coverage is embedded. <P> The NAIC is committed to working with Congress, the Administration, state officials, and the industry to develop a long-term plan to make terrorism insurance available and affordable. President Obama signed the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (H.R.26) on January 12, 2015. <P> DEFINITION of 'War Exclusion Clause'. A clause in an insurance policy that specifically excludes coverage for acts of war such as invasion, insurrection, revolution, military coup and terrorism. <P> The Terrorism Risk Insurance (Extension) Acts (TRIEA): Congress passed an extension of the 2002 Act at the end of December 2005.

<P> Ways to Improve Your Credit Score. Here’s how to determine your credit score By law, you’re allowed to check your credit report for free once per year. Your credit report will be created by one of the major credit reporting agencies: Equifax: 1-800-685-1111 │ Experian: 1-888-397-3742 │ TransUnion: 1-800-888-4213. Your credit score can range from 300 to 850. Most scores fall between 600 and 700 <P> Which means your credit score for a mortgage application is often different than your credit score for a car loan application, and so on. These credit scores pretty much all range from 300 – 850, though, so if you can keep your score in the 700’s or even 800’s you’ll be in good shape. <P> 1 Each credit bureau offers several services, including reports and scores from the other bureaus. 2 Typically it costs $15-$16 for a one-time credit report and score from a single credit bureau, or $30-$40 for credit reports and scores from all three bureaus. 1 For example, YouCheckCredit.com charges landlords $14.95 for a TransUnion credit report, $9.95 for an eviction report and $4.95 for prior address history verification; while MrLandlord.com charges $59 for a site inspection of the rental premises, then two credit checks are free and additional checks are $9.95 each. <P> Learn More. Important information: When you order your $1 Credit Report & FICO ® Score, you will begin your 7‑day trial membership in Experian Credit Tracker SM. If you don't cancel your membership within the 7‑day trial period*, you will be billed $21.95 for each month that you continue your membership. <P> 1 For example, Experian offers a $1 credit score and report but after 30 days the credit card is automatically charged $12.95 a month until the monitoring service is cancelled. 2 Other companies provide credit monitoring services. 1 For example, YouCheckCredit.com charges landlords $14.95 for a TransUnion credit report, $9.95 for an eviction report and $4.95 for prior address history verification; while MrLandlord.com charges $59 for a site inspection of the rental premises, then two credit checks are free and additional checks are $9.95 each. <P> Your FICO Score powered by Experian considers the credit information that comes from your Experian credit report. Experian is the number one provider of online credit reports and scores in the United States for over ten years. Your FICO Score can range anywhere between 300 and 850. New credit or inquiries from creditors show on your Experian credit report for two years, but only the last year impacts your FICO Score. Sometime opening several credit accounts in a short period of time represents a greater risk to lenders-especially if there isn't also an established credit history on record. <P> Carriers will rate you as if you have no credit, which is the same as having the worst possible credit, he warns. In our example, Elaine's credit score will cost her an additional $36 a month-or $435 a year-while George's costs him $77 more a month, or $932 a year. Credit Cards. For those who carry a balance from time to time, rates climb quickly for those whose credit isn't good or excellent. <P> The Equifax Credit Score is based on an Equifax Credit Score model and is not the same as scores used by 3rd parties to assess your creditworthiness. 1. Get your Equifax Credit Report and Score for $15.95. Equifax Credit Report and Score retail price is $15.95. Product is active for 30 days once purchased. A credit score is a three-digit number, typically between 300 to 850, which credit bureaus calculate based on information in your credit report.

what does a gp psychiatrist do
|
<P> You'll usually need a referral from your GP or another doctor to see a psychiatrist on the NHS. Your GP may refer you directly to a psychiatrist or to a member of a local mental health team, who can assess your needs and help determine if you need to see a psychiatrist or a different mental health professional. Psychiatry is a medical field concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental health conditions. <P> A psychiatrist is a medically-qualified practitioner who will have spent 5-6 years training to be a doctor. He or she will then have worked as a doctor in general medicine and surgery for at least a year. He or she will then have had at least 6 years of further training in helping people with psychological problems. All psychiatrists will learn how to: 1 assess a person's state of mind. 2 use the “biopsychosocial” model of understanding. 3 diagnose a mental illness. 4 use a range of psychological treatments. 5 use a range of medications. 6 help a person recover. <P> A psychiatrist is a licensed medical doctor who has not only earned a medical degree (MD), but who has further specialized in the field of psychiatry, which emphasizes the care and treatment of people with mental illness. Psychiatrists are MDs and can therefore prescribe medication if necessary. Some psychiatrists may be called upon to testify as to the fitness of a defendant to stand trial. A psychiatrist may be in private practice or employed at a hospital or mental health facility. <P> A psychiatrist is a qualified medical doctor who has obtained additional qualifications to become a specialist in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illness and emotional problems. <P> You might want to ask about: 1 Your diagnosis (if any). 2 How your psychiatrist has made sense of your situation. 3 How best to sort out your problems. 4 Your care plan. 5 What to do in an emergency, or even just if your situation changes. 6 Information about your diagnosis, treatment or recovery. 7 Local self-help groups. All psychiatrists will learn how to: 1 assess a person's state of mind. 2 use the “biopsychosocial” model of understanding. 3 diagnose a mental illness. 4 use a range of psychological treatments. 5 use a range of medications. 6 help a person recover. <P> Only medical doctors can be psychiatrists, and only psychiatrists (not counselors, social workers, or psychologists) can prescribe medications or other medical therapies for the treatment of psychological problems. Since psychiatrists are medical doctors, they can make clinical judgments as to whether you may have a non-psychiatric medical condition. For example, sleep apnea, thyroid problems, or anemia may all cause fatigue and low energy they are also two common symptoms of depression. <P> £37,176 + per year. A psychiatrist is a doctor who looks after patients with mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. As a psychiatrist, you would work in a team of health and social care professionals to assess, diagnose and treat patients who have been referred to you. As a psychiatrist, you would examine, diagnose and treat patients who have been referred to you by GPs and other health professionals. You would work with patients who are experiencing mental health problems such as: <P> A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in psychiatry. A psychiatrist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors, unlike psychologists, and must evaluate patients to determine whether their symptoms are the result of a physical illness, a combination of physical and mental, or a strictly psychiatric one. <P> A psychiatrist is a physician (a medical doctor--either an MD or a DO) who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental, addictive, and emotional disorders. Many people are confused about the difference between psychiatry and psychology. A psychiatrist has completed medical school and holds an M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) degree or a D.O.

what does a fireman do
|
<P> Most likely, you’re already a little familiar with the job of a firefighter. Firefighters put out fires in buildings, homes, forests, and anywhere else they occur. They do their best to keep their communities safe and they help to save lives ! However, a firefighter’s job doesn’t stop there! <P> And because their job requires them to be strong, healthy, and fit, firefighters must also spend time looking after their well-being and physical fitness. The job of a firefighter requires many important qualities. A firefighter’s job is often dangerous, so a person who wants to be a firefighter must be brave and strong. Firefighters must also be able to operate equipment and work well with others. Being able to lift heavy things, climb, and work in hot, stressful conditions are also important qualities for firefighting! <P> Take a deep look at what a firefighter does from the time they arrive at the firehouse to the time they leave the firehouse. Whether or not they respond to a single call, they may still do many of the above items while on duty at <P> Being a firefighter is not easy and neither is the process of becoming a firefighter. Competition is fierce and the hiring process can be very grueling and challenging, something many people do not endure or succeed at. More than 70% give up the pursuit of becoming a firefighter and move on to other career choices. <P> Some people might be surprised to discover what a firefighter's job entails. A few years ago (in the late 80's) a fire chief, in a lecture said, The fire department is misnamed.. He explained that the police had the job of interpersonal conflict mitigation. <P> As a fireman, you'll be called on to contain and put out fires in a variety of structures. To perform these duties safely, you attend a training academy where you learn to work with other firefighters and your gear. <P> Firemen, often referred to as firefighters, do a lot more than extinguish fires. Read on and you'll learn more about the many ways firemen help and educate the public. Schools offering Fire Science degrees can also be found in these popular choices.

what are some other mosquito diseases
|
<P> Mosquitoes can spread a number of diseases to people, but two viruses that some mosquito species in New York State can transmit are eastern equine encephalitis (EEE, triple E) and West Nile virus (WNV). EEE is spread only from infected mosquitoes. <P> Much more serious though, are the roles of many species of mosquitoes as vectors of diseases. In passing from host to host, some transmit extremely harmful infections such as malaria, yellow fever, west Nile virus, dengue fever, filariasis, and other arboviruses, rendering it the deadliest animal family in the world. <P> St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE). St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE) is transmitted from birds to man and other mammals by infected mosquitoes (mainly some Culex species). SLE is found throughout the United States, but most often along the Gulf of Mexico, especially Florida. Major SLE epidemics occurred in Florida in 1959, 1961, 1962, 1977, and 1990. <P> Although Culiseta melanura do not bite humans, some mosquitoes will cross bite; i.e., bite an infected bird and then bite a human or animal (horse, emu, and other exotic birds), thereby spreading the disease. These mosquitoes are also known as bridge vectors. The disease is spread when an infected mosquito bites a person with yellow fever and then transmits it by biting another person. There is no specific treatment for yellow fever, other than to relieve the symptoms. Once a person has had yellow fever, they are immune to further infection. <P> Chikungunya is a viral disease spread to people by the bite of infected mosquitoes. The most common symptoms of chikungunya virus infection are fever and joint pain. Other symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, or rash. <P> 1 West Nile Virus (WNV). 2 West Nile virus is a disease transmitted to people, horses, and birds. 3 It is the most commonly reported mosquito-transmitted disease in Minnesota. 4 Most people infected with West Nile virus show no symptoms or flu-like symptoms, but some (primarily elderly) have more severe illness. While mosquito-transmitted disease is not as common in Minnesota as it is in tropical climates, there are several diseases of potential concern to Minnesota residents. Minnesota residents who travel to other countries can return with tropical diseases such as malaria or dengue. 1 West Nile Virus (WNV). 2 West Nile virus is a disease transmitted to people, horses, and birds. 3 It is the most commonly reported mosquito-transmitted disease in Minnesota <P> Diseases Transmitted by Mosquitoes. Some mosquitoes are vectors for diseases. This means they can transmit diseases from one human or animal to another. Typically, the diseases are caused by viruses or tiny parasites. For example, a mosquito that bites an infected human or animal can pick up a virus along with the blood meal. The mosquito and virus do not harm one another but the virus reproduces inside the mosquito. <P> 1 West Nile virus is a disease transmitted to people, horses, and birds. 2 It is the most commonly reported mosquito-transmitted disease in Minnesota. 3 Most people infected with West Nile virus show no symptoms or flu-like symptoms, but some (primarily elderly) have more severe illness.

These diseases may be caused by a virus, also known as arboviruses, or can be caused by parasites. Several of the mosquito species found in Florida are capable of transmitting diseases to humans, horses, and other animals. Symptoms of these illnesses can range from mild to very severe. Mosquito-borne diseases found in Florida include West Nile virus disease, Eastern equine encephalitis, and St. Louis encephalitis. Many other mosquito-borne diseases are found in different parts of the world, and can be brought back to Florida if infected people or animals are bitten by mosquitoes while in Florida.

difference between american standard and special stratocaster

<P> Tone-wise, there is no difference between the texas specials in an american special and the SRV strat, the wood of the guitar and the setup will have its influence but they are the same pickups, trust me. The american specials sound really good. <P> The only dfferences I can tell between the American Standard and the Special as far as looks are the headstock and the tremolo. To my ears the American Special has a different tone all together. As someone else said, try to play them side by side. For me, the American Special was the one that came home with me. <P> 2) Fender Standard Stratocasters, which are only made in Mexico (aka MIM). Fender Standard is the proper designation for a Mexican made 'Standard' Stratocaster. So American Standard = MIA, and Fender Standard = MIM. <P> I got the Highway One and the American Standard FSR (with Texas Specials). My Highway is exactly same as the Am.Special except for paint and pickups. But the FEEL is night and day difference. I´m not saying the Specials arent good, they are indeed.

what is an ahp
|
<P> AHP is a patented synergistic blend of commonly used, safe ingredients that when combined with low levels of hydrogen peroxide dramatically increase its germicidal potency and cleaning performance. <P> The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions, based on mathematics and psychology. It was developed by Thomas L. Saaty in the 1970s and has been extensively studied and refined since then. The first step in the analytic hierarchy process is to model the problem as a hierarchy. In doing this, participants explore the aspects of the problem at levels from general to detailed, then express it in the multileveled way that the AHP requires. <P> Adjustment of the attribute scales proceeds until the satisfactory optimal probability is achieved. AHP is a simpler form of MAUT where the paired comparisons are used to derive the utility functions represented by the priority or weight vector from contributing criteria and alternatives in the hierarchy. Despite AHP’s criticisms, the methodology has been popular, fairly simple to apply, and is the leading approach used for multi-criteria decision-making [14]. Other decision-making alternatives have limitations similar to AHP. NASA used AHP to design mission-success factors for human MARS Exploration [18]. <P> While it can be used by individuals working on straightforward decisions, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is most useful where teams of people are working on complex problems, especially those with high stakes, involving human perceptions and judgments, whose resolutions have long-term repercussions. The first step in the analytic hierarchy process is to model the problem as a hierarchy. In doing this, participants explore the aspects of the problem at levels from general to detailed, then express it in the multileveled way that the AHP requires. <P> Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of Multi Criteria decision making method that was originally developed by Prof. Thomas L. Saaty. In short, it is a method to derive ratio scales from paired comparisons. The input can be obtained from actual measurement such as price, weight etc., or from subjective opinion such as satisfaction feelings and preference. AHP allow some small inconsistency in judgment because human is not always consistent. You may observe that the number of comparisons is a combination of the number of things to be compared. Since we have 3 objects (Apple, Banana and Cheery), we have 3 comparisons. Table below shows the number of <P> AHP 1 © Pearson Education Limited 2004 THE ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) INTRODUCTION The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is due to Saaty (1980) and is often referred to, eponymously, as the Saaty method. The AHP is sometimes sadly misused and the analysis stops with the calculation of the eigenvector from the pairwise comparisons of relative importance (sometimes without even computing the CR!) but the AHP’s true subtlety lies in the fact that it is, as its name says, a Hierarchy process. <P> SESUG 2012 1 Paper SD-04 Decision-Making using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and SAS/IML ® Melvin Alexander, Social Security Administration, Baltimore, MD ABSTRACT SAS/IML ® can be used to implement the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Despite AHP’s criticisms, the methodology has been popular, fairly simple to apply, and is the leading approach used for multi-criteria decision-making [14]. Other decision-making alternatives have limitations similar to AHP. NASA used AHP to design mission-success factors for human MARS Exploration [18]. <P> An AHP hierarchy is a structured means of modeling the decision at hand. It consists of an overall goal, a group of options or alternatives for reaching the goal, and a group of factors or criteria that relate the alternatives to the goal. The first step in the analytic hierarchy process is to model the problem as a hierarchy. In doing this, participants explore the aspects of the problem at levels from general to detailed, then express it in the multileveled way that the AHP requires. <P> Complete this section of the AHP Award Modification form if there is a change to basic project information including project name, location, sponsor, or member. Provide an explanation of the request. If a proposed change impacts a project’s scoring element, complete Section II. Only Bank members may submit AHP grant applications. Affordable housing developers and community organizations interested in competing for AHP funds in the next annual funding competition should contact a Bank member early in their planning process about partnering on an application. <P> The design of any AHP hierarchy will depend not only on the nature of the problem at hand, but also on the knowledge, judgments, values, opinions, needs, wants, etc. of the participants in the decision-making process. The first step in the analytic hierarchy process is to model the problem as a hierarchy.

a person with the genotype ab can receive blood of what type

<P> Universal recipients of the ABO blood type system are the individuals of type AB. Type AB blood does not contain anti-A or anti-B antibodies and people of this group can receive blood from any of the ABO types. <P> A person with genotype AB has type AB blood, and a person with genotype OO has type O blood. A person with type A blood cannot receive type B blood. The reason is immunological. A person with type A blood does not have type B antigens; thus, his immune system considers the type B antigen to be foreign and attacks it. A person with type A blood can't receive type AB blood, either, for the same reason. He can, however, accept <P> A blood test of either type AB or type O is more informative. Someone with blood type AB must have both the A and B alleles. The genotype must be AB. Someone with blood type O has neither the A nor the B allele. The genotype must be OO. A blood test is used to determine whether the A and/or B characteristics are present in a blood sample. It is not possible to determine the exact genotype from a blood test result of either type A or type B. If someone has blood type A, they must have at least one copy of the A allele, but they could have two copies. Their genotype is either AA or AO. Similarly, someone who is blood type B could have a genotype of either BB or B <P> ABO blood type system. The ABO system consists of A, B, AB, and O blood types. People with type A have antibodies in the blood against type B. People with type B have antibodies in the blood against type A. People with AB have no anti-A or anti-B antibodies. People with type O have both anti-A and anti-B antibodies. People with type AB blood are called universal recipients, because they can receive any of the ABO types. People with type O blood are called universal donors, because their blood can be given to people with any of the ABO types. <P> 7.

The results will tell the healthcare provider what blood or blood components will be safe for the person to receive. 1 For example, people with blood group O have both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in their blood. 2 If a unit of blood that is group A, B, or AB is transfused to this person, the antibodies in the recipient's blood will react with the red blood cells, destroying them and causing potentially serious complications. <P> The A and B alleles are dominant to the O allele. When both inherited alleles are O, the genotpye is homozygous recessive and the blood type is O. When one of the inherited alleles is A and the other is B, the genotype is heterozygous and the blood type is AB. AB blood type is an example of co-dominance since both traits are expressed equally. 1 Type A: The genotype is either AA or AO. 2 Type B: The genotype is either BB or BO. 3 Type AB: The genotype is AB. 4 Type O: The genotype is OO. There are four main ABO blood type groupings: A, B, AB, and O. These blood groups are determined by the antigen on the blood cell surface and the antibodies present in the blood plasma.

what are the functions of damping windings in a machine
|
<P> Damper windings in synchronous motor will carryout the same task of induction motor rotor windings. Therefore due to damper windings synchronous motor starts as induction motor and continue to accelerate). When the motor attains about 95% of the synchronous speed, the rotor windings is connected to exciter terminals and the rotor is magnetically locked by the rotating magnetic field of stator and it runs as a synchronous motor. <P> Damper windings are auxiliary windings.It is connected in series with the field windings.The purpose of this winding is to help the main windings to set up the complete and sufficient field for the satisfacory working without any discontinuity. Best Answer: The damper (or ammortisseur) winding is a path for circulation of induced currents when the generator is operating at other than rated speed. That does two things: 1. In generators, it does what the name implies-it increases damping. <P> The winding also serves to damp the oscillations of the rotor around the synchronous speed, and is therefore named the damping-winding (also known as amortisseurs or damper-windings). Source(s): http://media.wiley.com/product_data/exce... Best Answer: The damper (or ammortisseur) winding is a path for circulation of induced currents when the generator is operating at other than rated speed. That does two things: 1. In generators, it does what the name implies-it increases damping. <P> When an ac supply is provided to stator of a 3-phase synchronous motor, stator winding produces rotating magnetic field. Due to the damper winding present in the rotor winding of the synchronous motor, machine starts as induction motor (Induction machine works on the principle of induction. When the motor attains about 95% of the synchronous speed, the rotor windings is connected to exciter terminals and the rotor is magnetically locked by the rotating magnetic field of stator and it runs as a synchronous motor. <P> 1 By providing damper windings in the rotor of synchronous motor Hunting of machinecan be suppressed.When there is change in load, excitation or change in other conditions of the systems rotor of the synchronous motor will oscillate to and fro about an equilibrium position. When the motor attains about 95% of the synchronous speed, the rotor windings is connected to exciter terminals and the rotor is magnetically locked by the rotating magnetic field of stator and it runs as a synchronous motor. <P> The damper winding (also known as ammortisseur) is mostly used in synchronous machine-in stator of synchronous generator and rotor of synchronous motor. It provides some specific advantage to synchronous machines like – smooth starting and compensating the transient effect or unbalanced condition. The rotor of induction machine is mostly of squirrel cage type which is short circuited thus provides high current in start up. Damper winding in synchronous machine is placed in the coil slots and short circuited. <P> Function of damper winding in synchronous machine: 1.Self starting of synchronous machine: The core concept is that damper winding being short circuited carry high current, creates magnetic flux like as induction machine.

what is a biodiversity hotspot yahoo
|
<P> A biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographic region with a significant reservoir of biodiversity that is under threat from humans. Norman Myers wrote about the concept in two articles in “The Environmentalist” (1988), & 1990 revised after thorough analysis by Myers and others in “Hotspots: Earth’s Biologically Richest and Most Endangered Terrestrial Ecoregions”. <P> A recent series of papers has pointed out that biodiversity hotspots (and many other priority region sets) do not address the concept of cost. The purpose of biodiversity hotspots is not simply to identify regions that are of high biodiversity value, but to prioritize conservation spending. Norman Myers wrote about the concept in two articles in “The Environmentalist” (1988), & 1990 revised after thorough analysis by Myers and others in “Hotspots: Earth’s Biologically Richest and Most Endangered Terrestrial Ecoregions”. <P> Around the world, 34 areas qualify under this definition, with nine other possible candidates. These sites support nearly 60% of the world's plant, bird, mammal, reptile, and amphibian species, with a very high share of endemic species. Norman Myers wrote about the concept in two articles in “The Environmentalist” (1988), & 1990 revised after thorough analysis by Myers and others in “Hotspots: Earth’s Biologically Richest and Most Endangered Terrestrial Ecoregions”. <P> A biodiversity hotspot is a region with a high level of endemic species that is under threat from humans. The term hotspot was introduced in 1988 by Norman Myers. While hotspots are spread all over the world, the majority are forest areas and most are located in the tropics. The number and variety of plants, animals and other organisms that exist is known as biodiversity. It is an essential component of nature and it ensures the survival of human species by providing food, fuel, shelter, medicines and other resources to mankind. <P> The most straightforward definition is variation of life at all levels of biological organization. A second definition holds that biodiversity is a measure of the relative diversity among organisms present in different ecosystems. Diversity in this definition includes diversity within a species and among species, and comparative diversity among ecosystems genetic diversity-diversity of genes within a species. The most straightforward definition is variation of life at all levels of biological organization[3]. A second definition holds that biodiversity is a measure of the relative diversity among organisms present in different ecosystems. <P> To qualify as a hotspot, an area must contain at least 0.5% or 1,500 of the world's 300,000 plant species as endemics. In fact, 15 of the 25 hotspots contain at least 2,500 endemic plant species, and 10 of them at least 5,000. <P> There is a genetic variability among the populations and the individuals of the same species. species diversity-diversity among species in an ecosystem. Biodiversity hotspots are excellent examples of species diversity ecosystem diversity-diversity at a higher level of organization, the ecosystem. To do with the variety of ecosystems on Earth Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth. The most straightforward definition is variation of life at all levels of biological organization[3]. A second definition holds that biodiversity is a measure of the relative diversity among organisms present in different ecosystems. Diversity in this definition includes diversity within a species and among species, and comparative diversity among ecosystems genetic diversity-diversity of genes within a species <P> Biodiversity is the variety of different types of life found on Earth and the variations within species. It is a measure of the variety of organisms present in different ecosystems. This can refer to genetic variation, ecosystem variation, or species variation (number of species) within an area, biome, or planet. The number and variety of plants, animals and other organisms that exist is known as biodiversity. It is an essential component of nature and it ensures the survival of human species by providing food, fuel, shelter, medicines and other resources to mankind. <P> To qualify as a biodiversity hotspot on Myers 2000 edition of the hotspot-map, a region must meet two strict criteria: it must contain at least 0.5% or 1,500 species of vascular plants as endemics, and it has to have lost at least 70% of its primary vegetation. Norman Myers wrote about the concept in two articles in “The Environmentalist” (1988), & 1990 revised after thorough analysis by Myers and others in “Hotspots: Earth’s Biologically Richest and Most Endangered Terrestrial Ecoregions”.

Michaelmas daisy-North American perennial herb having small autumn-blooming purple or pink or white flowers; widely naturalized in Europe. Aster novi-belgii, New York aster. aster-any of various chiefly fall-blooming herbs of the genus Aster with showy daisylike flowers. <P> For other uses, see Aster (disambiguation) . Aster is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Its circumscription has been narrowed, and it now encompasses around 180 species, all but one of which are restricted to Eurasia; many species formerly in Aster are now in other genera of the tribe Astereae. <P> Asters, or michaelmas daisies, are perennial flowers. You will find garden asters in many sizes and colors. Flowers usually bloom in late summer or fall in clusters, with each blossom from half an inch to several inches wide, on stems six inches to several feet tall. <P> The Michaelmas daisy, or Aster amellus, is a European species of aster that is usually white, bluish, or lavender in appearance. These flowers can reach heights of 15 to 30 inches (40 to 70 centimeters), and typically produce daisy-like blooms that are 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.5 centimeters) wide. The Michaelmas daisy is a perennial plant, meaning that it will typically grow back from the roots year after year without being replanted. Ad. These plants are typically capable of thriving without care, and have been observed to spread both through the roots and through seeds. <P> The noun MICHAELMAS DAISY has 1 sense: 1. North American perennial herb having small autumn-blooming purple or pink or white flowers; widely naturalized in Europe. Familiarity information: MICHAELMAS DAISY used as a noun is very rare. <P> Clusters of tiny, pink to lavender daisy-like blooms set the Michaelmas daisy (Aster novi-belgii), sometimes called the New York aster, apart from other landscape perennials. These blooms appear in late summer or early fall, providing a last flush of color before the earth goes dormant for the winter. 1. Pull weeds growing around the Michaelmas daisy plant. Remove any debris such as dead leaves, stems or rocks from the ground. Spread a 1-inch layer of mulch around the plant with a rake, keeping the mulch 2 to 4 inches away from the plant's base to avoid causing the stems to rot. <P> The Michaelmas daisy is considered the Aster genus's type species, meaning that scientists believe this plant possesses all the major defining characteristics that should be found in all species of the genus. The Michaelmas daisy is a perennial plant, meaning that it will typically grow back from the roots year after year without being replanted. Ad. These plants are typically capable of thriving without care, and have been observed to spread both through the roots and through seeds. <P> Spread: 50cm. Time to divide plants: February to April.

divergent boundaries characteristics
|
<P> Visit the Interactive Plate Boundary Map to explore satellite images of divergent boundaries between continental plates. Two locations are marked within the rift valley of East Africa and another location is marked within the Red Sea. Effects that are found at a divergent boundary between oceanic plates include: a submarine mountain range such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge; volcanic activity in the form of fissure eruptions; shallow earthquake activity; creation of new seafloor and a widening ocean basin. <P> Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts which eventually become rift valleys. Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill. <P> Over millions of years, tectonic plates may move many hundreds of kilometers away from both sides of a divergent plate boundary. Because of this, rocks closest to a boundary are younger than rocks further away on the same plate. Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill. <P> A divergent boundary (or constructive boundary) is where two sections of the egg shell-two tectonic plates-are moving away from each other. When this happens, they leave a gap in-between, and this gap can be filled by the magma from below. Features of Divergent Boundaries. Exactly what happens when two plates diverge depends on the type of plates involved. There are two types of plates: oceanic plates and continental plates. Oceanic plates are, unsurprisingly, plates below sea level and therefore under oceans. <P> Plate Boundaries. Objectives: 1. Explain the differences between divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. 2. Describe the land features associated with each type of plate boundary. 3. Give examples of land structures found at each plate boundary. <P> In the theory of plate tectonics, the earth's crust is broken into plates that move around relative to each other. As a result of this movement, three types of plate boundaries are formed: divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. Divergent boundaries are boundaries where plates pull away from each other, forming mild earthquakes and volcanoes as magma comes to the surface. Convergent boundaries are boundaries where two plates are pushing in <P> At divergent boundaries, two plates move apart from each other and the space that this creates is filled with new crustal material sourced from molten magma that forms below. The origin of new divergent boundaries at triple junctions is sometimes thought to be associated with the phenomenon known as hotspots. Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill. <P> There it forms characteristics of a continental divergence, and a rift is forming on the island. Eventually Iceland will break into two separate islands, with sea in between. The East African Rift is a continental divergent boundary in East Africa. Features of Divergent Boundaries. Exactly what happens when two plates diverge depends on the type of plates involved. There are two types of plates: oceanic plates and continental plates. Oceanic plates are, unsurprisingly, plates below sea level and therefore under oceans. <P> In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill. <P> Divergent Boundary. Introduction. A divergent boundary is an area where two crustal plates are separating. Most of these tectonic plate boundaries are located on the floor of the oceans. The separating plates form rift valleys on the ocean floor where there are weaknesses in the crust. New oceanic crust.

what is the major vein found on the back of the heart that drains blood from the heart tissue is known as?
|
<P> Venules. Venules are minute vessels that drain blood from capillaries and into veins. Many venules unite to form a vein. 1 Drains blood from capillaries into veins, for return to the heart. <P> In most people, the portal vein splits into left and right veins before entering the liver. The right vein then branches off into anterior and superior veins. The portal vein supplies approximately 75 percent of blood flow to the liver. The portal vein is not a true vein, which means it does not drain into the heart. Instead, it brings nutrient-rich blood to the liver from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen. <P> [Continued from above] . . . It begins at the dorsal venous arch of the foot, a major superficial vein that drains blood from the toes and back of the foot. From the dorsal venous arch, the great saphenous vein passes anterior to the medial malleolus of the ankle and enters the medial side of the leg. <P> The coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the tissues of the heart. Oxygen-poor blood travels from organs and tissues to the heart through veins. The vena cava is the major vein that returns blood to the right atrium of the heart. The vena cava superior returns blood from the head, neck, upper extremities, and chest. The vena cava inferior returns blood from the lower extremities, the pelvis, and the abdomen. <P> Vena cava is one of the two veins (superior vena cava and inferior vena cava) that drain blood from all parts of the body (except the heart) into the right atrium of the heart.

<P> Anthony Tony Stark is a billionaire industrialist and inventor. He is the former CEO of Stark Industries, a conglomerate originally started by his father, Howard Stark. While in Afghanistan, Stark was captured by Ten Rings, and was ordered to build the Jericho missile for them. Tony returns to his home where he and J.A.R.V.I.S. try to find a solution in finding a new power source for the Arc Reactor. Uncertain of his outcome of survival, Tony appoints his former personal assistant Pepper CEO of Stark Industries, replacing her with Natalie Rushman. <P> Anthony Edward Tony Stark, simply known as Tony Stark, and also known as the famous super-hero named Iron Man, is a character that appears in the Iron Man Trilogy films and in The Avengers movie. He was portrayed by actor Robert Downey, Jr. , and is based on the character of the same name in the comics. He is well-known as Iron Man. also owns Stark Industries and is its CEO, lives in his house in Malibu, and is one of the founding and lead member of The Avengers. He is also in a relationship with Head-Chief of Stark Industries, and current girlfriend, Pepper Potts. <P> By Ryan Haupt. Marvel has a proud history of science-heroes, with many Marvel heroes emerging as accidents of science or the product of their own scientific ingenuity. Tony Stark is one such hero and in order to analyze his plausibility we brought in an honest to goodness scientist to figure it out for us. In Iron Man, Tony Stark makes a big deal out of getting palladium from the missiles in the cave when he's building his initial chest-sized arc reactor. This is likely an essential component of the reactor because palladium is one of the few elements theorized to be a potential room-temperature superconductor. <P> Iron Man (Tony Stark) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, as well as its associated media. The character was created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. Iron Man is a playable character in Iron Man, the 1992 arcade game Captain America and the Avengers, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and its sequel, and Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects, as well as being featured as an unlockable character in X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse and Tony Hawk's Underground. <P> 1 Or maybe he is on some type of recreational drug. 2 It is Tony Stark – he likes to drink. 3 Tony Stark knows that only a worthy being can lift Mjoelnir mjölnir and he also knows he is not. 4 Worthy, however in an attempt to appear that he is (trying even though he knows he will) fail he uses The Iron man. glove 1 I think the answer is that the computer Jarvis built the suit and S.H.I.E.L.D. along with Tony’s father (Howard Stark) built Jarvis. 2 Oh, of course this is different than the comic books. 3 Tony Stark is drunk and doesn’t know what he is doing. 4 Or maybe he is on some type of recreational drug. <P> In the film version of Iron Man, Stark Industries has a logo similar to that of defense contractors Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange as SIA. Stark Industries, later also known as Stark International, Stark Innovations, Stark/Fujikawa, Stark Enterprises and Stark Resilient, is a fictional multi-billion dollar Conglomerate owned and run by businessman Anthony Edward Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man. <P> I am Iron Man! Tony Stark is an engineering superhero! Although Tony Stark doesn't have any super powers, he is an incredibly good engineer. Iron Man is Tony Stark's creation. It's a special suit that gives Stark superhuman strength, the ability to fly and powerful weapons. Iron Man's suit isn't really made out of iron. That would be too heavy. Instead it is made out of a fictional material that is very light and very strong. Scientists haven't worked out how to make anything like it yet. An Iron Man suit could maybe be made out of a type of titanium, which is very strong <P> The palladium that powers Tony Stark's arc reactor—and, by extension, his Iron Man exoskeleton suit—is slowly leaking into his bloodstream and killing him. And the fast-talking industrialist has exhausted the rest of the periodic table looking for an element that is a safer power source than palladium.

Important Notes: Never administer anything through the nasogastric tube until you are sure the tube is in the correct place (the stomach).If you are unable to confirm correct position by pH measurement contact your nurse or GP immediately for advice. <P> nasogastric intubation, the placement of a nasogastric tube through the nose into the stomach to relieve gastric distension by removing gas, gastric secretions, or food; to instill medication, food, or fluids; or to obtain a specimen for laboratory analysis. the flexible tube with a rounded end is passed through the nasal cavity to the stomach; the technique requires expert knowledge and care to avoid damage to the nasal conchae and mucosa and to avoid passing medicines or feed into the lungs. <P> Nasogastric medications. Patients who have a nasogastric (NG) tube in place are commonly given medications through the tube. If a medication is not available in liquid form, you must first crush it or open the capsule and empty the powder or granules and then dissolve the medication in a facility-approved-fluid. <P> The mechanisms responsible for aspiration in patients bearing a nasogastric feeding tube are (1). loss of anatomical integrity of the upper and lower esophageal sphincters, (2). increase in the frequency of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations, and (3). PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Aspiration is one of the most common complications in enterally fed patients. The source of aspiration is due to the accumulation of secretions in the pharynx of reflux gastric contents from the stomach into the pharynx. <P> RECENT FINDINGS: There is evidence in the literature showing that the presence of a nasogastric feeding tube is associated with colonization and aspiration of pharyngeal secretions and gastric contents leading to a high incidence of Gram-negative pneumonia in patients on enteral nutrition. PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Aspiration is one of the most common complications in enterally fed patients. The source of aspiration is due to the accumulation of secretions in the pharynx of reflux gastric contents from the stomach into the pharynx. <P> Nasogastric intubation, the insertion of a tube through the nose into the stomach or small intestine, is also done to temporarily feed certain patients. In this case, material is not suctioned out. Nasogastric suction involves removing solids, liquids, or gasses from the stomach or small intestine by inserting a tube through the nose and suctioning the gastrointestinal material through the tube. <P> nasogastric intubation. the flexible tube with a rounded end is passed through the nasal cavity to the stomach; the technique requires expert knowledge and care to avoid damage to the nasal conchae and mucosa and to avoid passing medicines or feed into the lungs. <P> A nasogastric tube is a narrow bore tube passed into the stomach via the nose. It is used for short-or medium-term nutritional support, and also for aspiration of stomach contents-eg, for decompression of intestinal obstruction. A wide bore tube is used if drainage is needed; otherwise, a finer bore tube is used. 1 In the absence of a positive aspirate test, where pH readings are more than 5.5, or in a patient who is unconscious or on a ventilator, an X-ray must be obtained to confirm the initial position of the nasogastric tube.

<P> Charting BBT and CM he... Ovulation chart: How to predict ovulation by charting your basal body temperature and cervical mucus. Charting your basal body temperature and cervical mucus can help you predict when you're fertile and have the best chance of ge... Sample BBT chart. When you ovulate (or release an egg from your ovary), that egg has a chance of getting fertilized. When that egg gets fertilized, you're pregnant! You're most fertile from two to three days before you ovulate through the day of ovulation. <P> When pregnancy occurs, there may be a dip in temperature at the time of implantation, usually five to seven days after ovulation, and an additional rise in temperature of 0.3 to 0.5 degree Fahrenheit after 12 to 14 days post-ovulation. In its simplest form, BBT charting consists of taking your waking temperature daily, recording it onto a graph, and reading the results to confirm whether or not ovulation has occurred. BBT charting was first identified in the 1930s by proponents of the rhythm method of birth control. <P> Typically, after you ovulate your BBT will stay elevated for about 12 days. If you notice a dip in basal body temperature after ovulation, this may indicate a problem. You may have a short luteal phase or a luteal phase defect. This may cause problems if you are trying to have a baby. <P> For those that chart their basal body temperature (BBT) , an implantation dip could be an early indication of pregnancy. As you know, ovulation can be detected on a basal body temperature chart by a slight shift in temperature midway through your cycle. It occurred for them at 6 DPO, six days past ovulation. You could see an implantation dip as early as 6 DPO or as late as 12 DPO. Basically what you are looking for is a dip in your basal body temperature. <P> Your fertility is highest during the two days before ovulation and the day it occurs, but your basal body temperature changes 12 to 24 hours after ovulation. Since the egg only lives one day, by the time BBT indicates ovulation there’s little fertile time left to conceive. Because the spike in body temperature at ovulation is so small, you need a special basal thermometer (available at drugstores for about $10 to $15) to measure it. A basal thermometer records temperatures in one-tenth of a degree increments instead of the two-tenth increments on fever thermometers. <P> By charting your BBT every day, you can detect the day you ovulate by looking for a slight temperature rise that will remain elevated after ovulation. While with a regular chart, your temps will remain elevated, with an implantation dip, your chart will show a one-day drop in temperature. It occurred for them at 6 DPO, six days past ovulation. You could see an implantation dip as early as 6 DPO or as late as 12 DPO. Basically what you are looking for is a dip in your basal body <P> All about Basal Body Temperature (BBT). Understand the role of BBT in fertility charting. Learn how to use BBT to detect ovulation. Basal Body Temperature (BBT) is your body temperature at rest (wake up time). BBT rises after ovulation due to increased progesterone released from the corpus luteum after ovulation. <P> No. Many people do see a dip the day of ovulation, but many people do not. A temperature dip cannot confirm ovulation. More important than observing a dip, is seeing a temperature rise after ovulation. Your temperature rises in response to the presence of the heat-inducing hormone progesterone, which is only released after ovulation. If you are lucky enough to have advanced warning of ovulation in the form of a temperature dip, take advantage and be sure to have intercourse that day <P> Charting Basal Body Temperature. Charting your basal body temperature, or BBT, is the easiest way to determine if you tend to have a dip in basal body temperature after ovulation. While you can keep track of this on a regular sheet of paper, it is much simpler to do if you have a BBT record form, which can be purchased or found for free online. If you notice a dip in basal body temperature after ovulation, this may indicate a problem. You may have a short luteal phase or a luteal phase defect. This may cause problems if you are trying to have a baby. <P> Low temperatures are observed before ovulation and higher temperatures are recorded after ovulation. Your BBT, or basal body temperature, is your body temperature at rest as measured in the morning after at least three hours of sleep, before you get up, with a special BBT thermometer that you can buy at your drugstore.

what is the normal dosage for zoloft
|
<P> I've been using the generic brand of zoloft (sertraline) for about 6 months now. My doctor started me with the minimum dosage (25 mg) and I am currently up to 100 mg. I didn't have any troubles with 25, 50 or 75 mg. But I had a little bit of gitters and agitation for the first couple of days on 100. It's always best to just follow what you doctor is prescribing, BUT I will say that even for a med sensitive person 25Mgs per day of Zoloft is most often not a normal theraputic dosage. Theraputic dosgaes of Zoloft (sertraline) range from 50Mgs up to 200Mgs a day depending on many factors. <P> The recommended starting dose of Zoloft for people with panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or social anxiety disorder is Zoloft 25 mg once a day. After a week, your healthcare provider will likely increase the dose to 50 mg of Zoloft once a day. He or she may also choose to increase the Zoloft dosage if symptoms continue, or decrease the dose if side effects occur. <P> Although the starting dose for people with panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or social anxiety disorder is typically 25 mg daily, healthcare providers often increase that dose to 50 mg daily. After a week, your healthcare provider will likely increase the dose to 50 mg of Zoloft once a day. He or she may also choose to increase the Zoloft dosage if symptoms continue, or decrease the dose if side effects occur. <P> While a relationship between dose and effect has not been established for major depressive disorder, OCD, panic disorder, PTSD or social anxiety disorder, patients were dosed in a range of 50-200 mg/day in the clinical trials demonstrating the effectiveness of ZOLOFT for the treatment of these indications. Systematic evaluation of ZOLOFT has demonstrated that its efficacy in social anxiety disorder is maintained for periods of up to 24 weeks following 20 weeks of treatment at a dose of 50-200 mg/day (see Clinical Trials under CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). <P> Here, the medication doses were high. In adults, the standard Zoloft dose for depression is 50 mg daily. A number of patients in my practice have done well on 25 mg. To treat anxiety, the starting doses tend to be low; at first, antidepressants can increase anxiety. But for unknown reasons, the final dose, to mitigate anxiety, can be substantial. Again, in my clinical experience, for the more routine forms of anxiety often modest doses suffice. But in the current study of anxiety in children, the average Zoloft dose was between 133 and 146 mg daily. The children started at 25 mg, with the dose raised weekly as needed up to the eighth week of the study. <P> The recommended starting dose of Zoloft for children ages 6 to 12 with OCD is Zoloft 25 mg once daily, while the starting dose for adolescents ages 13 to 17 is Zoloft 50 mg once daily. Your child's healthcare provider may choose to increase the dosage if symptoms continue, or decrease it if Zoloft side effects occur. <P> Maintenance doses for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder with Zoloft range from 50 mg to 200 mg per day. Changes in dosage should not occur at intervals of less than one week because of the long elimination half-life of Zoloft of 24 hours. A: Zoloft (sertraline) is a type of antidepressant known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It is commonly used to treat depression, social anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). <P> If a 100 mg/day dose has been established with luteal phase dosing, a 50 mg/day titration step for three days should be utilized at the beginning of each luteal phase dosing period. ZOLOFT should be administered once daily, either in the morning or evening. Systematic evaluation of ZOLOFT has demonstrated that its efficacy in social anxiety disorder is maintained for periods of up to 24 weeks following 20 weeks of treatment at a dose of 50-200 mg/day (see Clinical Trials under CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). <P> Patients not responding to a 50 mg dose may benefit from dose increases up to a maximum of 200 mg/day. Given the 24 hour elimination half-life of ZOLOFT, dose changes should not occur at intervals of less than 1 week. Systematic evaluation of ZOLOFT has demonstrated that its efficacy in social anxiety disorder is maintained for periods of up to 24 weeks following 20 weeks of treatment at a dose of 50-200 mg/day (see Clinical Trials under CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). <P> Dosage of Zoloft for Depression or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The recommended starting Zoloft dose for people with depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is Zoloft 50 mg once a day. After a week, your healthcare provider will likely increase the dose to 50 mg of Zoloft once a day. He or she may also choose to increase the Zoloft dosage if symptoms continue, or decrease the dose if side effects occur.

Keratoconus is a congenital disease of the cornea (autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive) and it belongs to the large group of hereditary corneal dystrophies. The disease is characterised by thinning and conuslike protrusion of the cornea. This is due to alterations that cause weakening of the corneal structure. The incidence of keratoconus in the general population is about 1 in 2000 <P> Keratoconus can cause substantial distortion of vision, with multiple images, streaking and sensitivity to light all often reported by the person. It is typically diagnosed in the person's adolescent years.

It seems to occur in populations throughout the world, although it is observed more frequently in certain ethnic groups, such as South Asians.

The majority of cases of keratoconus are bilateral, and often asymmetric. The less affected eye may show a high amount of astigmatism or mild steepening. Onset is typically in early adolescence and progresses into the mid-20’s and 30’s. However, cases may begin much earlier or later in life. Early signs of Keratoconus include: • Asymmetric refracive error with high or progressive astigmatism. • Keratometry showing high astigmatism and irreguality (axis that do not add to 180 degrees). • Scissoring of the red reflex on ophthalmoscopy or retinoscopy. <P> Keratoconus (KC, KTCN) (from Greek: kerato-horn, cornea; and konos cone) is a degenerative disorder of the eye in which structural changes within the cornea cause it to thin and change to a more conical shape than the more normal gradual curve.

A media tour of Nkandla on Sunday gave South Africans the first ever opportunity, in five years of slow-dragging scandal, to put pictures to some of the state-funded infrastructure built inside President Jacob Zuma’s private rural compound. Although it took up well below 2% of the total amount spent on Nkandla, the state-built swimming pool has captured the public imagination more than any other feature, not least because of the state-created neologism used to defend it: firepool. <P> Meaning of nkandla.

how to cook lamb rack in oven
|
<P> 1 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Trim any excess fat from the lamb racks. 2 Cut small slits in the top of the lamb with a small, sharp knife. 3 Insert slices of garlic and small pieces of rosemary into the slits. 4 Sit the lamb on a plate. Directions. 1 <P> 1 (If you are not going to cook them within 2 hours, refrigerate, then bring to room temperature an hour before cooking.). 2 Preheat oven to 425° F. Heat a roasting pan in the oven for 10 minutes. 3 Pat the racks of lamb dry with paper towels and coat lightly with the olive oil. Directions. 1 Prepare the racks of lamb at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours) before cooking: Chop together the garlic, salt, rosemary, and pepper to make a coarse rub. 2 Rub the racks with the mixture, cover, and set aside. <P> Directions. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Brush lamb with Dijon mustard, to coat. Dredge in breadcrumbs. Place on a rack into the oven for 20 minutes. Remove and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve. Recipe courtesy of Kathleen Daelema <P> 1 Preheat the oven to fan 200C/ conventional 220C/gas 7. Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper. 2 Heat a large, heavy frying pan over a moderately high heat and brown two of the racks well on the meaty sides for about 1-2 minutes, then turn and brown the other sides for a further 1 minute. <P> For a nice rare lamb rack, 25 to 30 minutes is a good guide. When you’re happy with the doneness of your lamb, remove the tray from the oven. Remove the lamb from the roasting tray and put the vegetables back in the oven. Let the lamb rest on a board for 5 to 8 minutes, then carve – aim to get two bones per person. Serve with the lovely roasted vegetables. Put the lamb right on top of the vegetables in your roasting dish. Put into your hot oven and roast – see cooking times below. Cooking times: A rough guide is 25 minutes for every 450g of meat, but it all depends on your oven. A good way to test for doneness is to give the meat a bit of a squeeze with your fingers. <P> 3 Preheat oven to 450°F, arrange the oven rack so that the lamb will be in the middle of the oven. Score the fat, by making sharp shallow cuts through the fat, spaced about an inch apart. Sprinkle the rack all over with salt and pepper. Place the lamb rack bone side down (fat side up) on the pan. <P> 1 Preheat oven to 425° F. Heat a roasting pan in the oven for 10 minutes. 2 Pat the racks of lamb dry with paper towels and coat lightly with the olive oil. 3 Place the racks flesh-side down in the pan. Directions. 1 Prepare the racks of lamb at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours) before cooking: Chop together the garlic, salt, rosemary, and pepper to make a coarse rub. 2 Rub the racks with the mixture, cover, and set aside. <P> 1 You can brown a rack of lamb on the stove first. 2 Sear each side over medium-high heat for two to three minutes in 2 tbsp. of olive oil. 3 Add a splash of red or white wine or minced garlic and lemon juice to the pan for flavoring. 4 Then, roast the lamb at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. <P> Directions. 1 Prepare the racks of lamb at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours) before cooking: Chop together the garlic, salt, rosemary, and pepper to make a coarse rub. 2 Preheat oven to 425° F.

<P> Definition. Central processing unit (CPU) on a single silicon chip (called microchip) that can be 'soft wired' by using different programming instructions. When coupled with memory and input-output devices, a microprocessor becomes a microcomputer. Intel 4004, one of the earliest microprocessors, had a 4-bit data bus and could address 4.5 kilobytes of memory. The first mass produced microprocessor was Intel 8080 that in 1973 cost about $400. <P> Part of the Microprocessors glossary: A processor is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the basic instruction s that drive a computer. The term processor has generally replaced the term central processing unit (CPU). The processor in a personal computer or embedded in small devices is often called a microprocessor. <P> CPUs/Processors.

See microprocessor defined for English-language learners. See microprocessor defined for kids. ADVERTISEMENT. <P> The microprocessor is a multipurpose, programmable device that accepts digital data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory, and provides results as output. Intel introduced its first 4-bit microprocessor 4004 in 1971 and its 8-bit microprocessor 8008 in 1972. During the 1960s, computer processors were constructed out of small and medium-scale ICs—each containing from tens of transistors to a few hundred. <P> A microprocessor -- also known as a CPU or central processing unit -- is a complete computation engine that is fabricated on a single chip. The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004, introduced in 1971. The 4004 was not very powerful -- all it could do was add and subtract, and it could only do that 4 bits at a time. <P> Part of the Microprocessors glossary: A microprocessor, sometimes called a logic chip, is a computer processor on a microchip. The microprocessor contains all, or most of, the central processing unit (CPU) functions and is the engine that goes into motion when you turn your computer on. <P> The microprocessor, also known as the Central Processing Unit (CPU), is the brain of all computers and many household and electronic devices.

<P> 1 trillion = (10^3)^(3+1) = 10^12 which is 1 followed by 12 zeros, ie 13 digits. 1 In those countries that use the long scale (based on power of a million) such as Europe. 2 In those countries that use the short scale (based on powers of a thousand) such as USA. <P> The number 6 trillion trillion can represent two different numbers, because there are two scales in use. The short scale is used in the US, while the long scale is still in … use in some countries. The number 6 trillion trillion (short scale) is 6 x 1024, or 6 septillion, with 24 zeros. <P> 1 trillion = (1 million)3 = (106)3 = 1018. so 1 trillion has 19 digits (a '1' followed by eighteen '0's). 1 trillion = (1 thousand)3+1 = (103)4 = 1012. so 1 trillion has 13 digits (a '1' followed by twelve '0's). * In those countries that use the long scale (based on powers of a million) like Europe: 1 trillion = (10^6)^3 = 10^18 which is 1 followed by 18 zeros, ie 19 digits. <P> Numbers [edit]. 1 Trillion (short scale) (1,000,000,000,000; one million million; 10 12; SI prefix: tera-), the current meaning in both American and British English. <P> (1012 sec)/(3.16 x 107 sec/yr) = 31,546 years!

what is a salary sacrifice pension
|
<P> So if your employer offers a salary sacrifice arrangement, you should investigate whether you should take up this offer. Your employer should give you an overview of how salary sacrifice might affect you and whether or not they would pay some or all of the NICs they save into your pension pot. You may also benefit from more pension contributions from your employer, if they are giving you some or all the money they are saving on NICs. But you need to weigh up four disadvantages against this too. 1 If your employer is providing you with life cover, this is usually worked out as a multiple of your salary. <P> Salary sacrifice is an especially tax-efficient way for you to make pension contributions. You may also benefit from more pension contributions from your employer, if they are giving you some or all the money they are saving on NICs. But you need to weigh up four disadvantages against this too. 1 If your employer is providing you with life cover, this is usually worked out as a multiple of your salary. <P> Salary sacrifice, or salary exchange, is a tax-efficient agreement between you and your employer, where you agree to give up an amount of future earnings (either salary or bonus). <P> A salary sacrifice pension is an optional form of pension saving that is arranged between employer and employee through the employment contract. Before we explain how salary sacrifice works in relation to pension savings, we need to first explain the basic principle of salary sacrifice. Should you and your employer agree to establish a salary sacrifice pension, the law requires certain things of your employer. Most importantly, the employer will have to report all non-cash benefits to HMRC at the end of the tax year. <P> A salary sacrifice pension scheme is a tax-efficient way to save for retirement. You save on income taxes, and both you and your employer save on National Insurance contributions. The result is guaranteed money put into your pension pot where it can grow over time. Should you and your employer agree to establish a salary sacrifice pension, the law requires certain things of your employer. Most importantly, the employer will have to report all non-cash benefits to HMRC at the end of the tax year. <P> The idea behind this is quite simple. You give up part of your salary and, in return, your employer gives you a non-cash benefit, such as childcare vouchers, or increased pension contributions. Once you accept a salary sacrifice, your overall pay is lower, so you pay less tax and National Insurance. Salary sacrifice is when you agree to give up part of your salary so you can get extra benefits from your employer. Find out more about how it works. How salary sacrifice works. Things to consider before taking salary sacrifice. <P> Your employer might offer a salary sacrifice pension scheme to all salaried workers on the payroll. This type of pension scheme is voluntary, but it may be to your advantage if your financial circumstances are right. 1 Contribution Refund – Under a salary sacrifice plan, the money added to your pension account is not considered a contribution on your part. <P> In a generic sense, salary sacrifice is the principle of forgoing a portion of your salary in exchange for some sort of non-cash benefit. In the case of a pension, you would be sacrificing a portion of your pay in exchange for more money in your pension pot and lower taxes and insurance contributions. 1 Contribution Refund – Under a salary sacrifice plan, the money added to your pension account is not considered a contribution on your part. <P> Take the example of an employee, earning £40,000 per annum, paying 5% into their pension. If this was done via salary sacrifice, the employer would save 13.8% of what was sacrificed, which is £276 p.a. (based on 2012/13 tax rates and assuming the scheme is contracted-in). Multiply this out for 300 employees, and the saving becomes approximately £83k each and every year the scheme runs.

what is mushroom good for
|
<P> 1 High blood pressure. 2 There is inconsistent evidence about the effects of reishi mushroom on high blood pressure. 3 Early research suggests that taking reishi mushroom extract daily for 12 weeks does not lower blood pressure in people with slightly high blood pressure. Reishi mushroom is a fungus that some people describe as “tough” and “woody” with a bitter taste. The fruiting body (above-ground part) and mycelium (filaments connecting a group of mushrooms) are used as medicine. <P> The standard for the name mushroom is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence the word mushroom is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. Mushroom describes a variety of gilled fungi, with or without stems, and the term is used even more generally, to describe both the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota and the woody or leathery fruiting bodies of some Basidiomycota, depending upon the context of the word. <P> By Dr. Mercola Mushrooms contain some of the most potent natural medicines on the planet. Of the 140,000 species of mushroom-forming fungi, science is familiar with only 10 percent, according to world-renown mycologist Paul Stamets, who has written six books on the topic. Two years ago, I interviewed Steve Farrar, who worked and studied mushrooms professionally for the last 30 years. The first 20 years he spent growing them and working primarily with gourmet chefs, but in the past decade, he's started applying his expertise of mushrooms to health purposes. <P> Crimini Mushrooms. Crimini mushrooms, also known as Portobello mushrooms, are good for supporting the immune system, and a healthy immune system can aid in fighting arthritis and ward against cancer. These mushrooms help the immune system by shifting the activities of white blood cells. Shiitakes are heart-healthy mushrooms that are full of antioxidants. If you're looking to lower your cholesterol, try a heaping helping of this savory fungus. They contain eritadenine, which is known to reduce cholesterol levels. It's good news for the heart. <P> Reishi mushrooms are edible and though they are not as commonly consumed as other mushrooms, they may be incorporated into a healthy soup or other recipe, for example. Reishi combines well with shiitake, onion, garlic, cilantro and miso. SHARE SHARE TWEET EMAIL. Reishi mushroom, which is also known as Ganoderma lucidum, is an Asian mushroom that grows at the base of hardwood trees, forming a shelf-like shape and displaying a characteristic deep reddish-brown color. <P> Maitake is also known by the name Dancing Mushroom, famous for its taste and health benefits. In Japan, Maitake Mushroom is called King of Mushroom. The fruiting body and the mycelium of Maitake are used medicinally. In China and Japan, Maitake Mushrooms have been consumed for 3000 years. Years ago in Japan, the Maitake had monetary value and was worth its weight in silver <P> A mushroom (or toadstool) is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. Mushroom describes a variety of gilled fungi, with or without stems, and the term is used even more generally, to describe both the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota and the woody or leathery fruiting bodies of some Basidiomycota, depending upon the context of the word. <P> Mushrooms, though classified as vegetables in the food world, are not technically plants. They belong to the fungi kingdom and although they are not vegetables, mushrooms provide several important nutrients. It's common knowledge that the key to getting enough vitamins and minerals in the diet is to eat a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables-the more color, the better. Mushrooms contain just as high an antioxidant capacity as carrots, tomatoes, green and red peppers, pumpkins, green beans, and zucchini. 4. Selenium is a mineral that is not present in most fruits and vegetables but can be found in mushrooms.

normal amount of time for late period
|
<P> It’s normal to get your period as early as 9 years old or as late as 15 years old. This is a big time range and it’s hard to be one of the first or one of the last. Girls who are active in sports or are very thin may not get their period until a later age. <P> The length of a normal menstrual cycle is 28 days, plus/minus 7 days. That is, a period may occur 7 days before the expected date of the period or may be normally delayed for 7 days beyond the expected date. But, if the delay is more than 35 (28+7) days, then the cause of the delay needs to be investigated. <P> A menstrual cycle is the time from the day a menstrual period starts to the time the next period starts. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days long. However, a normal cycle can be shorter or longer than this. It may be anywhere from 21 to 35 days long. Most periods last 3 to 5 days, but anywhere from 2 to 7 days is normal. Menstrual cycles may happen around the same date every month or they may be irregular. A menstrual period is considered late if it hasn’t started 5 or more days after the day you expected it to start. <P> You should get your period once every month. Your menstrual cycle should be about 28 days. This means that there should be about 28 days from the first day of your period to the first day of your next period. 28 days is an average number, but anywhere between 21 and 35 days is normal. Your period will usually last between 3 and 7 days. The amount of blood flow you have will probably be different each day.

how long does it take for seeded grass to start growing
|
<P> The germination time for grass seed ranges from 5 to 30 days depending on the variety. It can be even longer than this in cooler temperatures. This is how long it will take to actually see the grass growing. Until this point, the seed, or the soil and mulch in contact with the seed, must stay moist. It doesn’t need to be soggy or swimming, but moist. Once the new grass is visible, the roots are also growing down into the soil. <P> Considerations. If the grass seed doesn't germinate as fast as expected, it may be because it is lacking the proper water dosage. Soaking the seeds will cause them to become water-logged and perhaps rot. They also can float away, causing gaps in a new lawn. Too little water can cause them to dry and die <P> When you plant grass seeds, it is important to match the grass species to your local climate and plant the seeds at the correct time and rate. To get a rough idea how long for your lawn to get established, add 30 to 45 days to the germination time. Hard fescue (Festuca longifolia) and red fescue (Festuca rubra) seeds take seven to 14 days. Plant 7 to 9 pounds of annual ryegrass seed or 6 to 9 pounds of perennial ryegrass per 1,000 square feet in the fall. <P> Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) seeds germinate in seven to 12 days. Hard fescue (Festuca longifolia) and red fescue (Festuca rubra) seeds take seven to 14 days. Plant 7 to 9 pounds of annual ryegrass seed or 6 to 9 pounds of perennial ryegrass per 1,000 square feet in the fall. <P> Replanting New Grass Seed. Grass is a fast growing plant, but the exact rate at which it grows depends upon the type of grass used and the growing conditions. Germination. Grass seeds usually germinate between seven and ten days after they have been sown, although it can take between three and thirty days. Growth. A fast growing variety of grass sown under good growing conditions will produce a green covering in about a week, although it will not yet be properly established. Most varieties should produce visible results within about two weeks. Grass takes several weeks or months to become fully established. Seeds sown in mid spring should be well established before the summer, while seeds sown at the beginning of fall should be growing well by the first frosts. <P> If stored in a cool, dry place, grass seed can last for 2-3 years. However, the germination rate (the number of seeds that will grow) will decrease over time, so you may not get the same results you would if you were using fresh seed. For best results, use fresh product and try to plant it within a year. The length of time varies by grass type. The product package should tell you how long it will take for your new grass to begin growing. For the general guidelines used by Scotts experts, click here. <P> How long does it take for seed to grow. Different seed mixtures establish at different speeds. As a general rule, hardwearing mixtures usually contain ryegrass and red fescue, two species that establish quite quickly-they can germinate in as little as 3-4 days, but 7-10 days is more average. <P> Concerning how long does grass seed take to grow, if the conditions are good and the variety of grass used is of the type that grows fast, within a week’s time the result may be a lush green patch in the lawn. While it may not be properly grown yet the visible result may take about two to three weeks. The normal duration at which the seed of the grass germinates is between 6 to 10 days after the seed has been planted. However it can also take from minimum 4 days to maximum forty days. The climate condition during which the seed is sown is also very essential for the seeds to germinate faster and to grow. The seed of the grass germinates faster with the availability of proper light, water and nutrition of soil. Excess of heat, over irrigation and over-use of pesticides and insecticides may kill the germination. A temperate and warm condition is most favorable for no matter how long does grass seed take to grow. <P> Buffalograss (Stenotaphrum secundatum) seeds take 14 to 30 days to germinate. Plant 1 pound of Bermudagrass seeds per 1,000 square feet in late spring or early summer. For the same area, plant 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of buffalo grass in spring or fall. Hard fescue (Festuca longifolia) and red fescue (Festuca rubra) seeds take seven to 14 days. Plant 7 to 9 pounds of annual ryegrass seed or 6 to 9 pounds of perennial ryegrass per 1,000 square feet in the fall.

what are characteristics of organic molecules
|
<P> Organic molecules are those that: 1) formed by the actions of living things; and/or 2) have a carbon backbone. Methane (CH4) is an example of this. If we remove the H from one of the methane units below, and begin linking them up, while removing other H units, we begin to form an organic molecule. Each organic molecule group has small molecules (monomers) that are linked to form a larger organic molecule (macromolecule). Monomers can be jouined together to form polymers that are the large macromolecules made of three to millions of monomer subunits. <P> what are the characteristics of organic molecules? this is for bio, i look in the text book but i don't think its in there.

Organic molecules are the chemicals of life, compounds composed of more than one type of element, that are found in, and produced by, living organisms. The feature that distin … guishes an organic from inorganic molecule is that organic contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, whereas inorganic molecules do not. <P> Solutions are studied by the science of physical chemistry. Like inorganic salts, organic compounds may also form crystals. A unique property of carbon in organic compounds is that its valency does not always have to be taken up by atoms of other elements, and when it is not, a condition termed unsaturation results. Neutral organic compounds tend to be less soluble in water compared to many inorganic salts, with the exception of certain compounds such as ionic organic compounds and low molecular weight alcohols and carboxylic acids where hydrogen bonding occurs. <P> Organic chemistry is a chemistry subdiscipline involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. <P> Click here for more information!

what are the properties of cement
|
<P> A chemical reaction called hydration takes place between the water and cement, and concrete normally changes from a plastic to a solid state in about 2 hours. Concrete continues to gain strength as it cures. Heat of hydration-is the heat given off during the chemical reaction as the cement hydrates. Stages of hydration: Properties of Concrete Range in proportions of materials used in concrete, by absolute volume. Bars 1 and 3 represent rich mixes with small size aggregates. <P> Tests can be made to ensure the properties of concrete correspond to specifications for the application. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). The elasticity of concrete is relatively constant at low stress levels but starts decreasing at higher stress levels as matrix cracking develops. Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. <P> Concrete is an artificial conglomerate stone made essentially of Portland cement, water, and aggregates. When first mixed the water and cement constitute a paste which surrounds all the individual pieces of aggregate to make a plastic mixture. A chemical reaction called hydration takes place between the water and cement, and concrete normally changes from a plastic to a solid state in about 2 hours. Thereafter the concrete continues to gain strength as it cures. <P> Properties of Concrete Concrete is an artificial conglomerate stone made essentially of Portland cement, water, and aggregates. Properties of Concrete While cement in one form or another has been around for centuries, the type we use was invented in 1824 in Britain. It was named Portland cement because it looked like the stone quarried on the Isle of Portland. Stages of hydration: Properties of Concrete Range in proportions of materials used in concrete, by absolute volume. Bars 1 and 3 represent rich mixes with small size <P> Therefore, the properties of a good cement must be investigated. Although desirable cement properties may vary depending on the type of construction, generally a good cement possesses following properties (which depend upon its chemical composition, thoroughness of burning and fineness of grinding). 1 Provides strength to masonry. 2 Stiffens or hardens early. 3 Possesses good plasticity. 4 An excellent building 5 ... Easi <P> A cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens and can bind other materials together. The word cement can be traced back to the Roman term opus caementicium, used to describe masonry resembling modern concrete that was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The most important uses of cement are as a component in the production of mortar in masonry, and of concrete, a combination of cement and an aggregate to form a strong building material. <P> All things being equal, concrete with a lower water-cement (cementitious) ratio makes a stronger concrete than that with a higher ratio. The total quantity of cementitious materials (portland cement, slag cement, pozzolans) can affect strength, water demand, shrinkage, abrasion resistance and density. The elasticity of concrete is relatively constant at low stress levels but starts decreasing at higher stress levels as matrix cracking develops. Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. <P> Properties of Cement Concrete. The cement concrete possesses the following important properties: 1 It possesses a high compressive strength. 2 It is a corrosion resistance material and atmospheric agent has no appreciable effect on it. 3 It hardens with age the process of hardening continues for a long time after the concrete has attained sufficient strength. 4 It is more economical ... <P> It's important to note that cement is only one component of three concrete properties and the term concrete is a mixture of the three. Concrete properties consist of three basic components: water, aggregate (rocks and sand), and portland cement. Cement, usually in powder form, acts as a binding agent when mixed with water and aggregates. 2. Water-Water is needed to form a chemical reaction with the cement (hydration) to form heat. This starts the drying and hardening process. Water is also used to provide workability with the concrete. The amount of water in the mix in pounds compared with the amount of cement is called the water/cement ratio. <P> The properties of such a concrete would be less than that of a wet concrete. The reaction of water with the cement in concrete is extremely important to its properties and reactions may continue for many years. This very important reaction will be discussed in detail in this section. Aggregates are chemically inert, solid bodies held together by the cement. Aggregates come in various shapes, sizes, and materials ranging from fine particles of sand to large, coarse rocks. Because cement is the most expensive ingredient in making concrete, it is desirable to minimize the amount of cement used.

legislative bureaucratic administration definition
|
<P> Full Definition of LEGISLATIVE. 1. a: having the power or performing the function of legislating b: belonging to the branch of government that is charged with such powers as making laws, levying and collecting taxes, and making financial appropriations — compare executive, judicial. 2. <P> When the legislature delegates broad lawmaking powers to an administrative agency, the popular control provided by direct election of decision makers is absent—but this does not mean that administrative agencies are free from political accountability. Federal administrative agencies must be responsive to legislative and executive oversight mechanisms. During the 1970s, many members of Congress began to feel that the normal process of legislation was too cumbersome for effective control of administrative action. <P> Most decisions that administrators take as part of their official functions are of an administrative nature. There is necessarily a public character to the phrase. The relationship is one of inequality or subordination. It excludes decisions made in the exercise of legislative and judicial power. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Any law or act which is inconsistent with it has no force or effect. The effect of this provision is that laws and administrative acts must comply with the Constitution. The Constitution is binding on the executive branch of government in every sphere of administration <P> Administrative law is the body of law that allows for the creation of public regulatory agencies and contains all of the statutes, judicial decisions, and regulations that govern them. It is created by administrative agencies to implement their powers and duties in the form of rules, regulations, orders, and decisions. Administrative procedure constitutes the methods and processes before administrative agencies, as distinguished from judicial procedure, which applies to courts. Federal administrative agencies must be responsive to legislative and executive oversight mechanisms. During the 1970s, many members of Congress began to feel that the normal process of legislation was too cumbersome for effective control of administrative action. <P> Legislative Veto of Administrative Rules. An administrative rule is typically a regulation, standard or policy issued by an executive agency to implement statutory provisions administered by the agency. In many states, the number of regulations promulgated by executive agencies exceeds the number of statutes enacted by the legislature. In Mead v. Arnell, 791 P.2d 410 (Idaho 1990), the Idaho Supreme Court upheld the authority of the legislature to veto administrative rules through passage of a resolution that did not require the governor's signature. <P> For other uses, see Bureaucracy (disambiguation) . A bureaucracy (/bjuːˈrɒkrəsi/) is a body of non-elective government officials and/or an administrative policy-making group. Historically, bureaucracy was government administration managed by departments staffed with nonelected officials. Today, bureaucracy is the administrative system governing any large institution. Since being coined, the word bureaucracy has developed negative connotations. Bureaucracies have been criticized as being too complex, inefficient, or too inflexible. <P> The fundamental challenge of administrative law is in designing a system of checks that will minimize the risks of bureaucratic arbitrariness and overreaching, while preserving for the agencies the flexibility that they need in order to act effectively. Federal administrative agencies must be responsive to legislative and executive oversight mechanisms. During the 1970s, many members of Congress began to feel that the normal process of legislation was too cumbersome for effective control of administrative action. <P> The legislative history of a statute is a unique form of secondary legal authority. It is not binding on courts in the way that primary authority is. Federal and state constitutions, statutes, case law (judicial decisions), and agency regulations form the body of primary authority that courts use to resolve disputes. <P> Administrative law encompasses laws and legal principles governing the administration and regulation of government agencies (both Federal and state). Such agencies are delegated power by Congress (or in the case of a state agency, the state legislature) to act as agents for the executive. Branch of law governing the creation and operation of administrative agencies. Of special importance are the powers granted to administrative agencies, the substantive rules that such agencies make, and the legal relationships between such agencies, other government bodies, and the public at large.

how long does it take for a lice to fully mature
|
<P> Nit: Nits are lice eggs. They are generally easy to see in the seams of an infested person's clothing, particularly around the waistline and under armpits. Body lice nits occasionally also may be attached to body hair. They are oval and usually yellow to white in color. Body lice nits may take 1–2 weeks to hatch. Nymph: A nymph is an immature louse that hatches from the nit (egg). A nymph looks like an adult body louse, but is smaller. Nymphs mature into adults about 9–12 days after hatching. <P> The eggs are glued to the hair shaft very close to the scalp. Head lice live only about 30 to 40 days. They die in 1 or 2 days when removed from the head, and eggs die soon after being removed from the warm scalp. Head lice do not wander about rugs, furniture, or school buses seeking a host. The eggs hatch in about 8 or 9 days. The newly hatched louse (nymph) will suck blood for food and shed its skin (molt) three times as it develops into an adult over a 10-day period. The young lice and adults live their entire lives on the head, feeding on blood. The entire life cycle takes about 3 weeks. <P> Life Cycle. The life cycle of a louse begins as an egg, also called a nit. The nit is a 1mm whitish-yellow speck that attaches itself firmly to an individual hair strand close to the scalp. After 7 to 10 days, the nit hatches and becomes what is known as a nymph, or a young louse. Don’t Worry. Getting rid of a case of head lice can be time-consuming and tedious, but it’s not a health hazard. Lice don’t carry disease and don’t harm the head or scalp. Prevent head lice by not sharing combs, hairbrushes, hair accessories, towels, bedding, hats, or scarves with a person infected with the parasite. <P> Pubic lice have three forms: the egg (also called a nit), the nymph, and the adult. Nit: Nits are lice eggs. They can be hard to see and are found firmly attached to the hair shaft. They are oval and usually yellow to white. Pubic lice nits take about 6–10 days to hatch. Nymph: The nymph is an immature louse that hatches from the nit (egg). A nymph looks like an adult pubic louse but it is smaller. Pubic lice nymphs take about 2–3 weeks after hatching to mature into adults capable of reproducing. <P> As long as there’s a food source readily available, an adult louse can live for as long as 30 days on a human. However, this short lifespan is perpetuated by the constant laying of eggs. Female lice lay up to six eggs each day. Don’t Worry. Getting rid of a case of head lice can be time-consuming and tedious, but it’s not a health hazard. Lice don’t carry disease and don’t harm the head or scalp. Prevent head lice by not sharing combs, hairbrushes, hair accessories, towels, bedding, hats, or scarves with a person infected with the parasite. <P> Nymphs and fully mature adults can survive for only about a day without a food source. Adult lice can’t live past 24 hours or so on non-human surfaces such as carpets, hardwood flooring, clothing, furniture, sports helmets, headphones, or hair accessories. Don’t Worry. Getting rid of a case of head lice can be time-consuming and tedious, but it’s not a health hazard. Lice don’t carry disease and don’t harm the head or scalp. Prevent head lice by not sharing combs, hairbrushes, hair accessories, towels, bedding, hats, or scarves with a person infected with the parasite. <P> Adult head lice are about 1/8 inch long, grayish, flattened, and wingless. Their legs are claw-like, designed to hold onto hair. These lice excrete partially digested blood which can appear as 'black dandruff'. Lice eggs, commonly referred to as nits, are whitish, oval and the size of a pinhead (1/30 inch long). They are attached to hair near the scalp. Nits that are found further than 1/2 inch from the scalp nearly always have hatched or died. Young head lice (called nymphs) are mobile and molt three times, developing into mature adults in about three weeks. Adults can live for about four weeks but do not lay eggs until after seven days. Head lice do not survive off a host for more than one or two days. Head lice do not jump or fly. <P> One of the biggest causes of re-infestation is not getting the lice out of your environment. Lice will live up to 48 hours off your head, and nits will survive for up to 10 days on your sofa, your car seats, your bedding, etc. You must treat your head and your home environment to end a lice infestation in one day, and stop it from coming back. <P> Use nit combs or cat flea combs to remove the lice and eggs. Because eggs can hatch for up to 10 days after they are laid, comb hair daily for two weeks after you find the last live head lice, to remove any young that have emerged. Young head lice (called nymphs) are mobile and molt three times, developing into mature adults in about three weeks. Adults can live for about four weeks but do not lay eggs until after seven days. Head lice do not survive off a host for more than one or two days. Head lice do not jump or fly.

how long can eggs remain refrigerated
|
<P> 1 Eggs out of the shell will usually stay good for 2 to 4 days in the fridge and one year in the freezer; egg yolks and egg whites may also be frozen separately and used later for cooking or baking purposes. 1 To maximize the shelf life of eggs, do not store them in the molded egg rack of the refrigerator door, as the temperature is too warm — the eggs will last much longer when they are stored in the main body of the refrigerator, in their purchased carton. <P> 1 Eggs can remain edible for even longer than a month, but freshness (egg yolk that sits firm and high, and a thick viscous egg white) will be noticeably less after two weeks. 2 If eggs start out as Grade AA, they remain AA for only two weeks if properly refrigerated. 3 After that, they'll be Grade A for another 2 weeks. Eggs … can remain edible for even longer than one month, but freshness (egg yolk that sits firm and high, and a thick viscous egg white) will be noticeably less after two weeks. There is an expiration date on the carton. If in doubt, put the egg in water. <P> You should always purchase eggs by the sell-by or expiration date. Once you get them home, you can keep them for up to 5 weeks from the purchase date, even if the sell-by date expires during that time. <P> Refrigeration protects eggs against pathogen growth. Eggs also age 4 times faster when they are unrefrigerated, so eggs that normally have a 30-45 day shelf life, would deteriorate in just over a week. The rule of thumb is that refrigerated foods should not be left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Written 29 Jul, 2011 • View Upvotes. <P> Eggs that you buy from the store will not stay fresh for long without refrigeration. Eggs that come right from the chicken can kept at room temperature for weeks. Store bo … ught eggs should be refrigerated within a few hours of buying them just to be safe. After that, they'll be Grade A for another 2 weeks. Eggs … can remain edible for even longer than one month, but freshness (egg yolk that sits firm and high, and a thick viscous egg white) will be noticeably less after two weeks. There is an expiration date on the carton. <P> Expert answer: Eggs are unlikely to go bad in a refrigerator setting, but would dry up over time. Eggs don't automatically go bad or spoil after date. If the eggs do not already have salmonella, it will not grow in an egg as it sits in your fridge. The USDA says that the date can be no further ahead than 30 days after the packing date. Your store can choose any day within that 30 days to date the eggs. <P> 1 To freeze whole eggs: (1) Remove eggs from their shells; (2) Pierce yolks and gently mix in 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every one cup of raw eggs (if using eggs for main dishes) or 1 tablespoon of sugar (if using for baking or desserts); (3) Place in covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags and freeze. 1 To maximize the shelf life of eggs, do not store them in the molded egg rack of the refrigerator door, as the temperature is too warm — the eggs will last much longer when they are stored in the main body of the refrigerator, in their purchased carton. <P> The bottom line is shelf life. The shelf life for an unrefrigerated egg is 7 to 10 days and for refrigerated, it's 30 to 45 days. A good rule of thumb is one day at room temperature is equal to one week under refrigeration.. Eggs purchased from grocery stores are typically already three weeks old, or older. <P> After eggs are refrigerated, they need to stay that way. A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the movement of bacteria into the egg and increasing the growth of bacteria. Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than 2 hours. <P> Expert answer: We tell consumers to look to the egg carton sell-by dates to judge freshness. The USDA says that the date can be no further ahead than 30 days after the packing date. Your store can choose any day within that 30 days to date the eggs. If you don't find a date on the carton, using the eggs within three weeks of the carton date should allow them to be used within optimum quality, meaning the yolk will be high and upstanding, and the white will be tall and firm

at what age does your hair starts turning grey
|
<P> The grey hair “rule of thumb” is that by the age of 50, half of the population have lost the colour in 50% of their hair. When researchers tested this rule, they found that 74% of people aged between 45 and 65 had grey hair, with an average intensity of 27%. Generally, men have more grey hair than women. <P> Differs widely per person, but I would guess the average to be around 35. But my hair started turning gray at age 18! I've had to dye it ever since. Even though my parents and siblings didn't go gray for a long time after that, like closer to 36, 38. But I had a really bad case of Mono, and my hair started turning gray when I was sick, so maybe that had something to do with it. <P> There is no set age that hair begins to turn Grey, I have been a cosmetologist for 12 years and have seen all ages with gray hair. A traumatic experience or health issues can cause hair to become gray earlier or in one spot but heredity is usually the main factor.

No, stress DOESN'T turn your hair grey and men's beards really DO go ginger: Expert reveals what really affects our hair colour. 1 Rodney Sinclair is a Professor of Dermatology at University of Melbourne. 2 Claims that by age 50, half of us have lost colour in 50 per cent of our hair. <P> The grey hair “rule of thumb” is that by the age of 50, half of the population have lost the colour in 50% of their hair.

Hair isn't actually grey its white, but it looks grey Why hair turns gray as we agePremature graying can happen at any a … ge ... generally from the 20's up. I knew a young man in Elementary school who had a tin can thrown at him which cut the scalp and he had a patch of white hair about two inches in diameter. <P> Typically, white people start going gray in their mid-30s, Asians in their late 30s, and African-Americans in their mid-40s. Half of all people have a significant amount of gray hair by the time they turn 50. <P> Here's a look at what causes hair to turn gray and some of the factors that affect graying. Answer: The age at which you'll get your first gray hair (assuming your hair doesn't simply fall out) is largely determined by genetics. You'll probably get that first strand of gray around the same age your parents and grandparents started to go gray. However, the rate at which the graying progresses is somewhat under your own control. Smoking is known to increase the rate of graying. <P> The Graying Process. With age, the pigment cells in a hair follicle gradually die off. As they do, that strand of hair will no longer grow in with as much color and will show up as more silver, gray or white as it continues to grow. Eventually, if all the pigment cells die, the hair grows in completely gray.

<P> The Oxford Universal Dictionary defines music as, That one of the fine arts which is concerned with the combination of sounds with a view to beauty of form and the expression of thought or feeling (Little and Onions 1965, 1300). In his 1983 book, Music as Heard, which sets out from the phenomenological position of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, and Ricoeur, Ricœur Thomas clifton defines music as an ordered arrangement of sounds and silences whose meaning is presentative rather than. . . . denotative <P> : a short piece of music with words that are sung. : the act of singing. : a series of musical sounds that are produced by a bird or an animal (such as a whale).

what has afghanistan done for conserving biodiversity
|
<P> You can help save biodiversity. Biodiversity decline and loss of ecosystem services is a major global threat to the future of our planet and our generations. The good news is that there are lots of things you can do to help ease the pressure on this loss of biodiversity. We are not in a hopeless situation. <P> As years of warfare, drought, and new settlements have taken a toll on the nation’s biodiversity resources, UNEP has partnered with the Government of Afghanistan to assess the status of these precious ecosystems and determine how best to promote their sustainable conservation. <P> The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), known informally as the Biodiversity Convention, is a multilateral treaty. The Convention has three main goals: 1 conservation of biological diversity (or biodiversity); 2 sustainable use of its components; and. 2010 was the International Year of Biodiversity. The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity is the focal point for the International Year of Biodiversity. At the 2010 10th Conference of Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity in October in Nagoya, Japan, the Nagoya Protocol was adopted. <P> A new Biodiversity Policy describes USAID’s commitment and approach to conserving species and ecosystems, and our focus on integrating biodiversity with other sectors for improved conservation and development outcomes. Biodiversity loss has accelerated from just a few species going extinct each year to an estimated 1,000 species disappearing annually. The collective actions of seven billion people are degrading the natural resource base and threaten to erode development gains around the world. <P> Conservation biology is a mission-oriented science that focuses on how to protect and restore biodiversity, or the diversity of life on Earth. Like medical research, conservation biology deals with issues where quick action is critical and the consequences of failure are great. Many of these programs focus on the biodiversity of the local region or globe, and what you can do to help protect and restore it. Many organizations also have educational web sites with information about biodiversity (see Conservation biology links). <P> UK Conservation. The UK’s natural environment and its biodiversity provides a vital and valuable role in supporting the basic natural services we all depend on, such as food, fresh water and clean air. For example, bees pollinate our crops and the crops in turn provide us with food. Nature conservation in the UK is driven by a wide range of policies, legislation and agreements, all delivered by a range of bodies, from the statutory, voluntary, academic and business sectors, which work together to conserve the environment and its biodiversity. <P> Species and habitats under threat and/or in decline. To help set priorities, OSPAR’s work on protection and conservation of biodiversity has started from an identification of those species and habitats most in need of protection. The OSPAR List of threatened and/or declining species and habitats was agreed in 2003 and extended in 2008 Table 10.2 and Table 10.3. 1 To protect, conserve and restore species, habitats and ecological processes which have been adversely affected as a result of human activities. 2 To protect, conserve and restore species, habitats and ecological processes which best represent the range of these features within the OSPAR maritime area. <P> - Pavan Sukhdev, Environmental Economist. Conserving the diversity of life on earth is fundamental to human well being. Once considered a niche issue or special interest, biodiversity conservation is now recognized as critical to achieving equitable and sustainable development. Biodiversity loss has accelerated from just a few species going extinct each year to an estimated 1,000 species disappearing annually. The collective actions of seven billion people are degrading the natural resource base and threaten to erode development gains around the world. <P> Biodiversity is More than Just Species. Species diversity is only one part of biodiversity. To properly catalogue all the life on Earth, we also have to recognize the genetic diversity that exists within species as well as the diversity of entire habitats and ecosystems. Genetic Biodiversity is the variation in genes that exists within a species. <P> Box 10.2 Aims of the OSPAR MPA network. Marine protected areas are areas for which protective, conservation, restorative or precautionary measures have been put in place to protect and conserve species, habitats, ecosystems or ecological processes of the marine environment on a temporary or permanent basis. The OSPAR network of MPAs has the following aims: 1 To protect, conserve and restore species, habitats and ecological processes which have been adversely affected as a result of human activities. 2 To protect, conserve and restore species, habitats and ecological processes which best represent the range of these features within the OSPAR maritime area.

what is waterfall style furniture
|
<P> The inspiration for waterfall furniture came from handmade furniture emanating from the modernist movements in France, Austria and Germany, known as Art Moderne. Makers copied the designs of the ultra-exclusive French firm of Sue et Mare. Early examples, designed to appeal to broad audiences. Because of the furniture’s free-form and curvy lines, people called it “waterfall” furniture. There are all types of pieces, including chairs, desks, end tables, clothes chests. <P> Hi Hope. This is as you mentioned, a Waterfall bedroom set from the 1930s. It’s so named for the rounded tops and the way they spill over in a waterfall effect. Right now, dealers consider this style to be in the used furniture category rather than the collectible furniture category. Hope says, I have some furniture I would like appraised. It is antique waterfall full bed with 2 nightstands, vanity and dresser. There are some visible chips, but overall in good condition. <P> Resolved Question: I have an art deco waterfall style bedroom set: vanity with 4 drawers and a round mirror and bed which also has the original spring mattress frame). It was sold by Montomery Ward CO probably in the 40's. <P> Related: art deco furniture waterfall fountain indoor waterfall antique waterfall furniture waterfall decor indoor fountain china cabinet art deco desk art deco buffet. 1 2 3. This is the median price based on sales of this product in the same condition from all listings on ebay.com in the past 14 days, or if there are any insufficient number of listings for a meaningful calculation, the past 90 days. <P> Answer by Al92 (105). It is plywood furniture that has nice curves and edges resembleing a waterfall. There is not really a frame to waterfall furniture. There are all kinds of types, chairs, desks, end tables, clothes drawers. The drawers do not have slides. Something you just can not take your eyes off. It is usually antique and can be found at auctions and other antique dealers. Waterfall furniture is something you need to experience in person and can add value and elegance to your home. <P> Waterfall furniture is a catchall term for molded plywood furniture that employs curved or rounded horizontal edges; hence, the term waterfall. The furniture uses unusual veneer designs and often has clever Bakelite handles. This was inexpensive furniture in its time. <P> The Waterfall style is characterized by a rounded front on top of the furniture piece mimicking a waterfall. Typically, waterfall pieces are veneered. Because it is veneer, you will often see damage on the pieces you find at yard sales or estate sales. <P> Check the disambiguation page. The Waterfall is a room furniture item in Club Penguin. Members could obtain it for free at the Prehistoric Party 2013 after roaring at the Big Water Place, Tree Place, Hunting Spot, Tyranno Town, and Scary Ice. <P> Between the 1920's and 1940's, during the Great Depression, furniture with curved lines was expensive due to the carving of the wood. When the then new material plywood became available, the curves were now easily achieved. Something you just can not take your eyes off. It is usually antique and can be found at auctions and other antique dealers. Waterfall furniture is something you need to experience in person and can add value and elegance to your home. <P> The diamond inlay pattern is frequently found on furniture of this period but it has nothing to do with the term waterfall.. It was simply a decorative device that fit with the style and period. Furniture from this period is noted for the innovative and ingenious use of multiple veneers from many woods.

how long does it take for a onion seed to produce onions
|
<P> Onions are characterized by day length; long-day onion varieties will quit forming tops and begin to form bulbs when the daylength reaches 14 to 16 hours while short-day onions will start making bulbs much earlier in the year when there are only 10 to 12 hours of daylight. Preparing the Soil. Onions are best grown on raised beds at least four inches high and 20 inches wide. Onion growth and yield can be greatly enhanced by banding a fertilizer rich in phosphorous (10-20-10) 2 to 3 inches below transplants at planting time. <P> Yellow onions have a long shelf life. A staple in many kitchens, yellow onions are a high-yield crop; from a square-foot plot of earth you can harvest 20 to 50 onions. If you grow bulb onions from seed, the process will take up to two years. For a quicker crop, grow onions from sets, dormant baby bulbs, the size of a large pea, grown the prior year. Expect yellow onions to reach harvest around 100 days after you plant the sets. <P> Part 2 of 2: Planting Your Onions. 1. Get the soil ready. When you’re ready to plant, till the soil about 6 inches (15.2 cm) deep and add a layer (1 cup per 20 feet) of phosphorous fertilizer. Using a mixture such as 10-20-10 or 0-20-0 will provide an extra boost for your developing onions. Give your onions about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week, and supplement with a nitrogen fertilizer once a month for nutrients. One month after planting, add a layer of mulch between each plant to lock in moisture and block out weeds. <P> Green onions are generally ready for harvest in 20 to 30 days. Onion varieties differ in shape, size, flavor and color. Depending on the type of onion and whether you start plants from seed, transplants or sets, the time to maturity varies as well. It can take up to five months for plants to mature enough to harvest. When starting onion plants from seed, allow the soil temperature to warm to at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit before sowing. <P> Starting onion plants from seed takes the longest for onions to fully grow, but seeds give you the most choices in variety. It can take up to five months for plants to mature enough to harvest. When starting onion plants from seed, allow the soil temperature to warm to at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit before sowing. In areas with mild winters, you can plant varieties of short-day onions four weeks before the first frost in fall <P> The stem gets either small onions on it or flowers then seeds depending on the type it is. You plant the seeds or baby onions to get more. If you plant a whole onion with the root part down and the top just covered with dirt it will grow the green tops and then it will grow the seeds or baby onions. One year you will have seeds from the onion. The next year you will have onions from the seed <P> Onions are ready to harvest approximatly 150 days after planting seeds, and approximately 100 days after transplanting sets. Green or spring onions are pulled as needed when the stems are about 1/4 inch thick. Pull green onions anytime after the tops are 6 inches tall. Plant onions 1 inch deep and 3 to 4 inches apart in double rows, leaving 6 to 10 inches between rows. Be sure to leave enough room between rows to weed. If the onions are planted closer together, you can harvest every other plant as a green onion so that bulb development of the remaining plants is not impeded. <P> For a shorter period between planting and harvest, you may choose to start the onion seeds indoors eight to 12 weeks before the last frost date for your area and transplant seedlings outdoors when they grow to 1/4 inch in diameter, about two to four weeks before the last frost date for your area. It can take up to five months for plants to mature enough to harvest. When starting onion plants from seed, allow the soil temperature to warm to at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit before sowing.

We couldn’t have done it without you, and we continue to have success daily with the stellar team that we have been given to work with. <P> In an attempt to continue their rapid growth, some of the larger contract research organizations have expanded into other fields such as medical product marketing (pharmaceutical detailing), discovery and formulation, contract manufacturing, clinical labs, and other related fields. Clinical investigators themselves, which are hired by the CRO or the sponsor directly to actually conduct the clinical trial at a specific location, may be part of an organization that provides CRO-like services or that provides joint marketing and clinical trial support. <P> The contract research organization industry is relatively young. Most of the top CRO industry participants were founded in the late 1980's to mid 1990's as the pharmaceutical industry first began to recognize outsourcing as an effective cost-reduction strategy. Clinical investigators themselves, which are hired by the CRO or the sponsor directly to actually conduct the clinical trial at a specific location, may be part of an organization that provides CRO-like services or that provides joint marketing and clinical trial support. <P> Worldwide, there are about 1,100 companies operating in the contract research organization industry, including a number of individuals working as independent consultants. Only a few hundred CROs have sales exceeding $10 million (USD), and of these only about a dozen are publicly traded.

how does a secured credit card work
|
<P> Secured Credit Cards. Secured Credit Cards can be useful to establish a credit history or repair a bad credit history when the usage of the card is reported to the credit reporting agencies-Experian, TransUnion or Equifax. The credit limit on a Secured Credit Card is established by a security deposit instead of the cardholder’s credit history. Understand how Secured Credit Cards are similar, yet different, to more traditional credit cards so that you can chose the card that works best for you. <P> The credit limit for a Secured Credit Card is based upon the amount of a refundable security deposit that placed into an account by the consumer. This is different than a traditional, unsecured credit card where your credit limit is usually based on your credit score and credit report. The credit limit on a Secured Credit Card is established by a security deposit instead of the cardholder’s credit history. Understand how Secured Credit Cards are similar, yet different, to more traditional credit cards so that you can chose the card that works best for you. <P> If and when a cardholder does not make their regular payments on a Secured Credit Card, the card issuer can choose to use the funds held in the security deposit to cover the defaulted amounts. When this may occur and how the funds in the security deposit savings account are used can vary between cards and card issuers. The credit limit on a Secured Credit Card is established by a security deposit instead of the cardholder’s credit history. Understand how Secured Credit Cards are similar, yet different, to more traditional credit cards so that you can chose the card that works best for you. <P> Credit card issuers take a risk when issuing unsecured credit cards. If you max out your credit line, can’t pay the balance and declare bankruptcy, the bank has to cover that amount. Because of that, people with low credit scores or a limited credit history may be unable to win approval for a traditional credit card. Paying for Purchases. At the point of sale, a secured card works exactly like an unsecured card. You swipe it at a merchant location or type the number into the form for an e-commerce site, and the transaction goes through if you have enough money remaining on your credit line. <P> The biggest difference between a secured and an unsecured credit card is that secured cards require a security deposit from the cardholder, which functions as cash collateral against you defaulting on your payments. Think of a secured card as your credit line training wheels that allow you the benefits of owning a credit card while giving you the opportunity to build a history of responsible credit use with on-time payments. <P> A secured credit card uses money you place in a security deposit account as collateral. Your credit line is based on your income, ability to pay and the amount of your cash collateral deposit. For example, if you put $1,000 into the deposit account, your available credit line will be $1,000 if you have sufficient income and can demonstrate your ability to pay. (Note that a secured credit card is not the same thing as a prepaid card. Your initial deposit is simply collateral and doesn't count toward payments.) A security deposit gives lenders the confidence that you will pay them back, even if you have damaged credit or no credit history. A secured credit card can help you build or re-establish your credit. However, if you default on your payments, the card issuer may keep your deposit. This means that making your monthly payments on time is just as crucial with a secured credit card as with a traditional card. <P> Monthly Bills. Payments on a secured card also work like an unsecured card does, even though you’ve already funded the credit line. You get a bill every month, either in the mail or electronically, and pay the balance. If you can pay only the minimum, you’ll then accrue interest on the remaining amount. Paying for Purchases. At the point of sale, a secured card works exactly like an unsecured card. You swipe it at a merchant location or type the number into the form for an e-commerce site, and the transaction goes through if you have enough money remaining on your credit line. <P> A secured card requires you to put up the funds for your credit line. This serves as collateral to make sure you honor your agreement and pay your bill. Usually your credit line will be all or most of your security deposit. Paying for Purchases. At the point of sale, a secured card works exactly like an unsecured card. You swipe it at a merchant location or type the number into the form for an e-commerce site, and the transaction goes through if you have enough money remaining on your credit line.

how long for nicotine to be out of your system
|
<P> Nicotine is usually detectable in a blood test for 1-3 days after the consumption of a tobacco product.* However, the length of time that nicotine stays in your system may vary based on how much or how often you smoke, and may also be affected by your age and general health. In a saliva test, which is the most accurate test, nicotine can be detected for more than 10 hours or up to 2-4 days.*. There are ways to effectively clear nicotine from your system, most of which include eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, and getting exercise. <P> 2-3 days: Nicotine is a short-acting drug, and is usually metabolized into cotinine which lasts for up to 72 hours. If you give it one week, your test should be negative. Swab tests of oral fluids may remain positive for up to a week. However, far more important than passing a cotinine drug test is STAYING STOPPED. <P> Blood Test. Testing for nicotine shows that nicotine is detectable for 1 to 3 days. It is common to test for cotinine instead of nicotine, as cotinine is detectable in the system for up to 10 days after nicotine has been removed from your system. When smoking only occasionally or you have a limited nicotine intake, the nicotine should be cleared out in 3 to 4 days. If you are a regular smoker, it may take 1-2 weeks; if you are a long time heavy smoker, it may take more than 20 days for a clean urinalysis test. <P> Most of the nicotine will be excreted from the system within twenty minutes after smoking. Nonetheless, it can be detected in the saliva for approximately 24 hours after the last smoke. Its metabolite, cotinine, can be detected for as long as 4 to 7 days depending on the amount of nicotine consumed. For heavy smokers, it may be detected up to seven to fourteen days. You are beginning to see how challenging it is to adequately answer the question of How Long does Nicotine Stay In Your System. Blood Test for Nicotine. Nicotine presence can be detected in the blood for a short period only (about 48 hours) . However, its metabolite, cotinine, can be detected up to about three weeks from the last use and the cut-off detection levels is 200 ng/ml. <P> Nicotine Drug Test. In order to know the fact as to how long nicotine stays in your system, you need to remember the duration of smoking and the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Usually nicotine persists in the body for 2-4 days but in some cases it may also last for a few months. However, in the case of passive smoking the nicotine remains in the body for a long time. The presence of nicotine is usually detected in the urine, blood, and hair follicle through medical tests <P> Report This | Share this:How long before Nicotine is out of system?Nicotine has a half-life in the human body of 2 hours (although it can range from 1 to 4 hours in different individuals). The average smoker has a blood nicotine concentration of about 40 ng/ml after an evening cigarette. <P> The length of time that nicotine stays in the body and cotinine can be a reliable indicator of nicotine use depends on the amount of tobacco smoked, the number of years smoking tobacco, and the type of nicotine test performed. It can be as short as 2 days, or as long as 3 months. Both qualitative and quantitative blood tests can be used to detect nicotine use. Either blood nicotine levels or its presence or absence can be determined. Nicotine, along with its derivatives cotinine and anabasine, can be used for these blood tests.

what causes tectonic.plates to move
|
<P> The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in relation to each other. Convergent Boundaries. <P> Churning currents of molten rocks below the tectonic plates causes their movement; these currents propel the tectonic plates causing them to move/hit each other. What causes the currents under the tectonic plates is the heat in the surface s core. There are three different types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, plates move into each other; divergent, plates move apart; and transform, plates move sideways in relation to <P> A: The three primary causes for tectonic plate movement are the convection of material in the mantle, gravity and the rotation of the planet. These forces cause each of the seven major plates and numerous other microplates to move independently of the others at a rate of a few centimeters per year. Know More. <P> Plates at our planet s surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth s core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.

why put aluminum foil on windows

<P> Some new neighbors of mine put up aluminum foil on their windows. A buddy of mine said that it's a sign of marijuana plant garden. He said that he's seen shows like Law and Order where aluminum foil on windows was a sign of drug plant growth. Oooooooooooooooh, I HATE HOA's.

In fact, if you wrap a potato in aluminum foil and put it in a hot over, the foil will get hot first. This is because metals like aluminum are very good conductors of heat, so they absorb heat very quickly. Answer 3: Actually, aluminum foil does get hot when it is in the oven. For example, if you wrap up a baked potato in foil and cook it in the oven, the foil will be too hot too touch. What you might be thinking about is, for example, laying a piece of foil in the oven (like when people make a tent over their turkey).

what are the symptoms of mastoid sinus infection
|
<P> Mastoiditis, a mastoid sinus infection, was fatal prior to invention of antibiotics. Now-a-days, mastoiditis is uncommon and a less dangerous disease. Thanks to antibiotics! However, treating mastoiditis is still difficult because medication may not reach the affected area. However, if symptoms of mastoid sinus infection are ignored or not treated properly, complications may occur, such as. 1 It may damage the mastoid bone. 2 Patients may feel vertigo or dizziness. 3 Epidural abscess, pus accumulated between the bones of the spine or skull and the outer membrane of the brain, may develop. <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Mastoiditis is the result of an infection that extends to the air cells of the skull behind the ear. Specifically, it is an inflammation of the mucosal lining of the mastoid antrum and mastoid air cell system inside the mastoid process. The mastoid process is the portion of the temporal bone of the skull that is behind the ear which contains open, air-containing spaces. Some common symptoms and signs of mastoiditis include pain, tenderness, and swelling in the mastoid region. There may be ear pain (otalgia), and the ear or mastoid region may be red (erythematous). <P> Coalescent mastoiditis occurs when inflammation and other symptoms of the disease persists over 2-4 weeks. This infection may obliterate mastoid sinuses and destroy lining around the bone. Cholesteatoma, a skin cyst in the middle ear, can also disrupt the ear drainage system, causing mastoiditis. However, incidences of mastoiditis in adults are very less in number. Common Symptoms. 1 Discomfort or pain in the ear may occur. 2 Discharge from the ear is common. 3 The source of discharge may be located in the perforated eardrum. 4 Entire ear or back of the ear may become red. 5 Swelling may occur behind the ear. 6 A tender and painful abscess may occur due to mastoid bone’s damaged cortex <P> Mastoiditis is an inflammation or infection of the sinus behind the middle ear (Mastoid sinus). This can be often seen on imaging studies such as MRI (see below). <P> Mastoiditis is a bacterial infection of the mastoid bone. The mastoid bone, which sits behind the ear, consists of air spaces that help drain the middle ear. When the mastoid cells become infected or inflamed, often as a result of an unresolved middle ear infection (otitis media), mastoiditis can develop. Mastoiditis symptoms may include: 1 Fever, irritability, and lethargy. 2 Swelling of the ear lobe. 3 Redness and tenderness behind the ear. 4 Drainage from the ear. 5 Bulging and drooping of the ear (in acute mastoiditis). <P> Common Symptoms. 1 Discomfort or pain in the ear may occur. 2 Discharge from the ear is common. 3 Entire ear or back of the ear may become red. 4 Swelling may occur behind the ear. 5 Patients may suffer from high fever, which may increase suddenly. 6 Mastoiditis affects ability to hear. 7 Headache and irritability are two other common symptoms of the disease. However, incidences of mastoiditis in adults are very less in number. Common Symptoms. 1 Discomfort or pain in the ear may occur. 2 Discharge from the ear is common. 3 The source of discharge may be located in the perforated eardrum. 4 Entire ear or back of the ear may become red. 5 Swelling may occur behind the ear. 6 A tender and painful abscess may occur due to mastoid bone’s damaged cortex <P> Back to Top Causes. Mastoiditis is usually caused by a middle ear infection (acute otitis media). The infection may spread from the ear to the mastoid bone of the skull. The mastoid bone fills with infected materials and its honeycomb-like structure may deteriorate. Mastoiditis usually affects children. Before antibiotics, mastoiditis was one of the leading causes of death in children

what is a spun bearing in an engine
|
<P> Almost without exception, this is caused by a spun rod bearing. Rod bearings spin due to a colapse of the oil film between the crank journal and rod bearing. Why this happens is a topic of great discussion. Mahle/Clevite has a very nice guide on their website to help you diagnose bearing wear patterns and failures. To view their guide, click HERE. <P> Report Abuse. The bearing that is referred to is the bearing between the crankshaft journal and the connecting rod which is more of a bushing that is locked in place, when it gets spun is has turned inside the connecting rod causing damage to both the connecting rod and the crankshaft journal. Wraith53089 · 9 years ago. Thumbs up. 0. In each case, a spun bearing means the same thing, the bearing sleeve or ball race has attached itself to the shaft and the outer portion of the bearing is spinning in the bearing support structure. <P> Subaru WRX BLOWN MOTOR with a SPUN BEARING – Knocking Noise. This is an engine still running that has a spun bearing. You can hear the knocking of the crankshaft. I think this is common with this engine because it is a high performance engine.

Just click on a page below to find out what you want to know most: Continue Reading... <P> The engine bearing in your vehicle refers to either the engine's main bearings or the rod bearings. Engine bearings protect and support the connecting rod or crankshaft, enabling it to spin freely in the engine. Engine Bearing Replacement. When either rod bearings or main bearings in an engine fail, it is a good idea to replace all of the bearings in the set. It must be stated that this is a precision operation that most mechanics allow a machine shop with the proper tools to perform. <P> Best Answer: There are two types of bearings, sleeve and ball (or roller). In each case, a spun bearing means the same thing, the bearing sleeve or ball race has attached itself to the shaft and the outer portion of the bearing is spinning in the bearing support structure. <P> Report Abuse. A spun bearing is due to a lack of lubrication to the crankshaft. Either a rod or main bearing fuses to the crank, causing it to spin inside the cap/rod. There is usually considerable damage to the crank, block or con-rod. Can be very expensive to repair. If some of the bearing material has gotten into the oil passages for the crank you will have to replace it as well. If it spun a bearing then the oil pump wasn't working or there was no oil in the engine to begin with. Bad news all the way around. <P> A Spun Engine Bearing. A spun care engine bearing happens when these bearings are damaged by friction, debris, overheating and lack of lubrication. When this happens, the bearing slides out of position causing a loud knocking or it can weld itself to the crankshaft causing the engine to seize. Popular Spun Bearing Pages.

what is the structure of the human mouth
|
<P> The Human Mouth. The human mouth is a complex structure that consists of both hard and soft tissues forming a hollow cavity. The mouth anatomy features several components including the jaws, teeth, gums, tongue, palate, cheeks, lips, which all together contribute in making possible the various functions of the mouth. <P> A very simple labelled diagram of the mouth (anterior view of the mouth) is shown below, followed by notes about each of the structures labelled. This is useful for introductory level courses but doesn't include all of the parts of the mouth that are involved in the initial stages of the digestion process. <P> Good knowledge of the morphology, anatomy, structure and physical characteristics of mouth and teeth is necessary in order to understand the development of several dental conditions, their causes and their treatments. <P> The mouth (or oral cavity) is important for speech and communication, eating and digestion, and can also be used for breathing. The main structures inside the mouth are the teeth, tongue, tonsils, salivary glands and-at the back of the throat (not shown on the left). the epiglottis. Structure in/of the mouth. Notes / Description. 1. <P> The mouth, like many organs in the human body, is a hollow cavity. The part in front of the teeth is called the vestibule, while the part behind is the mouth itself. The floor of the mouth is formed from sheets of muscle tissue which are attached to the inner surface of the jawbone, or mandible. <P> Click to read more below. Also known as the oral cavity, the mouth is the hollow cavity that allows food and air to enter the body. The mouth contains many other organs-such as the teeth, tongue, and the ducts of the salivary glands-that work together to aid in the ingestion and digestion of food. The mouth also plays a major role in the production of speech through the movements of the tongue, lips and cheeks.

cost of home addition
|
<P> For example, room addition costs estimates of $80 to $130 per square foot for a basic family room addition is common. If the room addition includes bathrooms and/or a kitchen, the room addition costs can easily escalate to $200-250 per square foot. <P> 1 The above figures place the cost of the addition at $124 per square foot. 2 This pricing structure assumes that carpenters charge an average of $70 per hour, electricians between $65 to $85 per hour, and painters between $20 and $35 per hour. <P> 1 Adding a 1,500-square-foot second floor with large sections done as a do-it-yourself project (plus serving as your own general contractor when needed) can run $105,000-$225,000; hiring a remodeling contractor for the same project can be $225,000-$450,000. <P> Remodeling an existing home almost always costs more per square foot than new construction, because the renovation must match the existing structure, which may not be level or straight. However, a home addition can add desired space without the hassle of moving to a new home. <P> 1 Adding new floor space for a 400-square-foot family room can run $10,000-$20,000 for a do-it-yourself project, or $30,000-$100,000 or more for an addition built by a contractor. <P> 1. Decide on the square footage of the room you will be adding to your home. Room additions can cost up to 50 percent higher, between $80 and $130 per square foot before considering wiring and plumbing, than that same room had been constructed with the rest of the house, according to the Home Addition Plus website. <P> Costs Vary Widely. Nationally, estimates of room addition costs vary from $80 to $250 a square foot. A simple room addition with a basic foundation and no plumbing generally costs at least $100 a square foot with typical internal finishing, no expansion of a heating/cooling unit, and minimal structural changes. <P> The average national cost of adding a room or building an addition is $40,960, with most homeowners spending between $21,711 and $63,014. This data is based on actual project costs as reported by HomeAdvisor members.

type of white blood cells that is a phagocyte
|
<P> The Process of Phagocytosis. Let's use the example of a white blood cell engulfing an invading bacterium to illustrate the process of phagocytosis. A cell that engages in phagocytosis is called a phagocyte. First, the white blood cell has to recognize the invader and realize that it needs to be destroyed. It recognizes signal molecules released by the bacterium and is drawn toward it. <P> Neutrophils are normally found in the bloodstream and are the most abundant type of phagocyte, constituting 50% to 60% of the total circulating white blood cells. One litre of human blood contains about five billion neutrophils, which are about 10 micrometers in diameter and live for only about five days. This material is then displayed to other cells of the immune system. Some phagocytes then travel to the body's lymph nodes and display the material to white blood cells called lymphocytes. This process is important in building immunity, and many pathogens have evolved methods to evade attacks by phagocytes. <P> Phagocytosis. Several types of cells in the immune system engulf microorganisms via phagocytosis. 1 Neutrophils. 2 Neutrophils are abundant in the blood, quickly enter tissues, and phagocytize pathogens in acute inflammation. 3 Macrophages. 4 Macrophages are closely related to monocytes in the blood. <P> A basophil is a type of white blood cell and a type of granulocyte. Blood. A tissue with red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and other substances suspended in fluid called plasma. Blood takes oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and carries away wastes. T-Lymphocytes (T-Cells). A type of white blood cell. T-lymphocytes are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. They help protect the body from infection and may help fight cancer. Also called T cell and thymocyte. <P> Lymphocytes. A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell that is part of the immune system. There are two main types of lymphocytes: B cells and T cells. The B cells produce antibodies that are used to attack invading bacteria, viruses, and toxins. T-Lymphocytes (T-Cells). A type of white blood cell. T-lymphocytes are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. They help protect the body from infection and may help fight cancer. Also called T cell and thymocyte. <P> B-Lymphocytes (B-Cells). A type of white blood cell that makes antibodies. B lymphocytes are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. Also called B cell. T-Lymphocytes (T-Cells). A type of white blood cell. T-lymphocytes are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. They help protect the body from infection and may help fight cancer. Also called T cell and thymocyte. <P> Answer by Nik vik. Confidence votes 54. Phagocytes A type of white blood cell the eats dead cells, and other debris in the blood. ----------------------------- A phagocyte is a white blood cell that 'engulfs' not only dead cells and debris but also reacts against Pathogens (disease causing micro-organisms). There are different types of phagocytes e.g. Macrophages or Neutrophils <P> Phagocytosis is one such tactic wherein special types of cells called phagocytes ingest and kill invading organisms. Phagocytes also ingest dead cells and debris caused by tissue injury. Three types of white blood cells can act as phagocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils and monocytes. These white blood cells circulate in the bloodstream awaiting chemical signals of invasion and inflammation. Upon receiving these signals, the white blood cell phagocytes migrate to the site of infection. Neutrophils. Special stem cells in the bone marrow give rise to neutrophils, which are normally the most abundant white blood cells in the circulation. Neutrophils typically comprise 40 to 60 percent of the white blood cells in the circulation. The primary function of neutrophils is phagocytosis.

what is the speed rating on car tyres
|
<P> Tyre Speed Rating. The speed rating of a tyre is displayed on the sidewall. Like in the image, you will find it at the end of the tyre's size. It is always represented by a letter-in the following example the tyre speed rating is W. Once you know your tyre speed rating, you can work out what is the maximum speed your tyre is capable of maintaining. For example, the W rating seen in the image, tells us that this tyre can reach speeds of up to 168mph. Speed ratings are based on tests in which engineers run the tyre at 6.2 mph steps, in 10 minute increments, until the required speed has been met. <P> Speed Rating. The speed rating of a tyre is represented by a letter of the alphabet at the end of the tyre size code and indicates the maximum speed capability of the tyre. Tyres receive a speed rating based on a series of tests which measure the tyres capability to handle a set speed for a prolonged period of time. Although not illegal, it is not advisable to have tyres with a lower speed rating or load index than the manufacturer recommended tyre specification for your vehicle, or to have a combination of different tyre construction types. <P> Most car and van tyres used in the UK have both a load and speed rating after the tyre size, e.g. 195/65R15 is usually followed by 91V. This means the tyres can carry their rated load upto a maximum non-stop speed of 240 kph. <P> If necessary, you can use a tire with a speed rating that is greater than the speed rating recommended for your car (for example, instead of using an H-rated tire on the Audi A3, you could use a V-rated tire (149 mph). Tire speed rating. Speed rating ensures that a vehicle’s tires match its top speed capability. Going back to our Audi, the “H” speed rating is equal to 130 miles per hour, meaning that under optimal conditions**, the tire can perform at speeds up to 130 mph. <P> Speed ratings. The speed rating of your tyre can be found on the on the outside of the sidewall. It’s shown as a letter after your size in the picture. In this case it’s a V rated tyre this indicates the speed rating. We recommend that you fit the correct speed rated tyre as recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle. The speed rating of your tyre can be found on the on the outside of the sidewall. It’s shown as a letter after your size in the picture. In this case it’s a V rated tyre this indicates the speed rating <P> Speed rating is easy to locate because it’s usually the last item in the character sequence in the tire’s size code. For example in this tire code: “P205/60R16 82S,” S is the speed rating. To view the tire size code for your current tires, just look at the sidewall. <P> 1 We do not recommend downgrading the speed rating of your tires. 2 This may result in poor handling and unpredictable steering. 3 However, if you want better cornering response, there is no problem installing a higher speed rated tire on your vehicle. 4 Never mix and match tires with different speed ratings on your vehicle. A tire receives its speed rating by the U.S. Government through meeting minimum standards for reaching and sustaining a specified speed. <P> Exotic Sports Cars. While a Z-speed rating still often appears in the tire size designation of these tires, such as 225/50ZR16 91W, the Z in the size signifies a maximum speed capability in excess of 149 mph, 240 km/h; the W in the service description indicates the tire's 168 mph, 270 km/h maximum speed. A service description identifies the tire's load index and speed rating. Service descriptions are required on all speed rated (except for Z-speed rated) tires manufactured since 1991. <P> The speed rating is described on the tire sidewall. Many tire manufacturers currently include the speed symbol in the tire size description. Example: P225/70 H R15 Speed Symbol. In this example the H indicates that the tire is capable of sustained speeds up to 130 MPH. Tires certified for Z speed ratings (top speeds over 149 MPH) will continue to be identified by including the speed symbol in the size designation since the top speed for a Z rated tire is determined in accordance with the manufacturer's vehicle specifications.

when is growth hormone released
|
<P> Print | Email article to a friend | Last updated: December 12, 2014. Growth hormone-releasing hormone stimulates the secretion of growth hormone, an important regulator of growth, metabolism and body structure. Alternative names for growth hormone-releasing hormone Growth hormone-releasing factor; GRF; GHRF; GHRH. Insulin-like growth factor 1 is a hormone produced in the liver and other organs in response to growth hormone, which in turn acts in many tissues to cause metabolic and growth actions. In addition to its effect on growth hormone secretion, growth hormone-releasing hormone also affects sleep, food intake and memory. <P> Growth hormone (GH or HGH), also known as somatotropin or somatropin, is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals. It is a type of mitogen which is specific only to certain kinds of cells. <P> If the hypothalamus produces too little growth hormone-releasing hormone, the production and release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland is impaired, leading to a lack of growth hormone (adult growth hormone deficiency). Insulin-like growth factor 1 is a hormone produced in the liver and other organs in response to growth hormone, which in turn acts in many tissues to cause metabolic and growth actions. In addition to its effect on growth hormone secretion, growth hormone-releasing hormone also affects sleep, food intake and memory. <P> Because growth hormone is released in pulses, a single measurement of the blood level is not normally clinically useful. Therefore, testing for the suppression or stimulation of growth hormone release from the pituitary is usually done. 1 GH stimulation tests help to diagnose GH deficiency and hypopituitarism. 2 For a stimulation test, a sample of blood is drawn after 10-12 hours of fasting <P> Somatostatin then prevents the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland and growth hormone-releasing hormone production by the hypothalamus, therefore acting as a powerful suppressor of growth hormone secretion. Insulin-like growth factor 1 is a hormone produced in the liver and other organs in response to growth hormone, which in turn acts in many tissues to cause metabolic and growth actions. In addition to its effect on growth hormone secretion, growth hormone-releasing hormone also affects sleep, food intake and memory. <P> Growth hormone is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, development and regeneration. This peptide hormone is made up of 191 amino acids that form a long, single-chain polypeptide. Growth hormone is synthesized in the somatotropic cells, which are found in the anterior pituitary gland. These cells are also responsible for storing and releasing the hormone. <P> Growth hormone is released into the bloodstream from the anterior pituitary gland. The pituitary gland also produces other hormones which have different functions to growth hormone. <P> Regulation of release and secretion. The release of growth hormone is controlled by growth hormone-releasing hormone (somatocrinin) and growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (somatostatin), both of which are released by the neurosecretory nuclei of the hypothalamus. This peptide hormone is made up of 191 amino acids that form a long, single-chain polypeptide. Growth hormone is synthesized in the somatotropic cells, which are found in the anterior pituitary gland. These cells are also responsible for storing and releasing the hormone. <P> Growth hormone-releasing hormone is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus. The principal function of growth hormone-releasing hormone is to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone into the bloodstream. Insulin-like growth factor 1 is a hormone produced in the liver and other organs in response to growth hormone, which in turn acts in many tissues to cause metabolic and growth actions. In addition to its effect on growth hormone secretion, growth hormone-releasing hormone also affects sleep, food intake and memory. <P> Growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), also known as growth-hormone-releasing factor (GRF, GHRF), as well as somatorelin (INN), somatoliberin, and somatocrinin, is a releasing hormone of growth hormone (GH). It is a 44 - amino acid peptide hormone produced in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. GHRH first appears in the human hypothalamus between 18 and 29 weeks of gestation, which corresponds to the start of production of growth hormone and other somatotropes in fetuses. Main article: Growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor. The GHRHR is a member of the secretin family of G protein-coupled receptors, and is located on chromosome 7. This protein is transmembranous with seven folds, and its molecular weight is approximately 44 kD.

meaning of anodes for boats
|
<P> DEFINITION OF AN ANODE. “An ingot of sacrificial metal attached to the underwater hull of a narrowboat or canal boat which corrodes due to electrolysis more readily than the hull and propeller. Magnesium anodes are used for boats in fresh water. Aluminium anodes are used for boats in brackish water. Anodes will offer protection based on the Noble Series of metals. The theory is that by attaching a piece of metal to the hull that is more reactive than the hull itself then this piece of metal will corrode first. For our inland waters we use sacrificial magnesium anodes for protection. <P> Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. A simple method of protection connects the metal to be protected to a more easily corroded sacrificial metal to act as the anode. <P> The common anode for fresh water is magnesium. Aluminum is a good catch all anode meaning a boat that frequents both fresh and salt has decent protection in either environment. The quality of the anode and the purity of the aluminum or magnesium is also important. The salt content found in brackish or salt water dramatically increases the rate of corrosion. If a magnesium anode is used in salt/brackish water it will corrode very quickly, possibly lasting only a very short time thus leaving your hull and drive completely unprotected. <P> BoatZincs.com, Inc. is the Internet's leading retailer of marine corrosion control products in North America. We specialize in the sale of sacrificial zinc, aluminum and magnesium anodes for recreational and commercial boaters. <P> The zinc used is a softer metal that will succumb to electrolysis before the aluminum, steel, etc... on your boat and motor. That is why they are called sacrificial anodes. We do not inherit the earth from our fathers, we are borrowing it from our children. See more details! This new area was created specifically to meet the needs of those of you who participate in the iboats Boat Restoration, Building, and Hull Repair forum. To kick off the launch, we are giving away free product in every order over $100 as follows: Spend $100-149: Get a free paint suit (Large only). <P> Zinc and aluminium are generally used in salt water, where the resistivity is generally lower. Typical uses are for the hulls of ships and boats, offshore pipelines and production platforms, in salt-water-cooled marine engines, on small boat propellers and rudders, and for the internal surface of storage tanks. Since the operation of a galvanic anode relies on the difference in electropotential between the anode and the cathode, practically any metal can be used to protect some other, providing there is a sufficient difference in potential. For example, iron anodes can be used to protect copper. <P> If any of your boating is also in brackish or salt water, fit aluminum anodes. Don Casey has been one of the most consulted experts on boat care and upgrades for 30 years, and a panelist on our Ask The Experts website for a decade. Where the zinc is mounted directly to the protected metal--bolted to the side of a metal rudder, for example--it is essential to make sure the surface under the zinc is bare and bright before the anode is installed. This is to ensure good electrical contact. <P> Therefore in this example the manufacturers recommended weight of magnesium anodes would be 14kg to 20kg. Luckily anodes are sold by weight. Common sizes are 1.5kg, 2.5kg and 3.5kg ingots for standard weld-on canal boat anodes. Anodes will offer protection based on the Noble Series of metals. The theory is that by attaching a piece of metal to the hull that is more reactive than the hull itself then this piece of metal will corrode first. For our inland waters we use sacrificial magnesium anodes for protection. <P> The type of water you'll be boating in -- and the combination of metal found on your boat -- determines the type of sacrificial anode you will need. For freshwater boating, chances are you'll need magnesium or aluminum alloy anodes. See more details! This new area was created specifically to meet the needs of those of you who participate in the iboats Boat Restoration, Building, and Hull Repair forum. To kick off the launch, we are giving away free product in every order over $100 as follows: Spend $100-149: Get a free paint suit (Large only). <P> Now, most boaters refer to sacrificial anodes as “zincs,” because zinc has been used for a long time. But there are other “zincs” made of aluminum, magnesium and various alloys with various trade names. In a hypothetical situation where zinc would last 150 days, magnesium would last but 50 days, while an aluminum anode would have corrosion lined up at the chow line for 225 days.

what is gamma globulin
|
<P> gamma globulin. n. 1. A protein fraction of blood serum containing many antibodies that protect against bacterial and viral infectious diseases. 2. A solution of gamma globulin prepared from human blood and administered for passive immunization against measles, German measles, hepatitis A, and other infections. <P> Immunoglobulin (also called gamma globulin or immune globulin) is a substance made from human blood plasma. The plasma, processed from donated human blood, contains antibodies that protect the body against diseases. <P> Gamma Globulin Levels/Range. Globulin and albumin are serum proteins (in blood plasma) produced by the immune system or the liver. The ratio of globulin in the blood is 2-3 g/dl. Globins are further classified into alpha 1 globulins, alpha 2 globulins, beta globulins, and gamma globulins. A gamma globulin blood or lab test is performed to determine gamma globulin level by drawing blood from the patient's vein. A gamma globulin test chart shows the following normal gamma globulin test ranges. <P> This type of gamma globulin, which is an immune serum, contains a wide range of antibodies, depending on its method of production, and it provides passive immunity for several weeks. In cattle, its most common use is in the newborn orphan which receives no colostrum. 1. A protein fraction of blood serum containing many antibodies that protect against bacterial and viral infectious diseases. 2. A solution of gamma globulin prepared from human blood and administered for passive immunization against measles, German measles, hepatitis A, poliomyelitis, and other infections. <P> Production of gamma globulin may be increased in the body when there is invasion by harmful microorganisms. An abnormal amount in the blood, a condition known as hypergammaglobulinemia, may be indicative of a chronic infection or certain malignant blood diseases.. A protein fraction of blood serum containing many antibodies that protect against bacterial and viral infectious diseases. 2. A solution of gamma globulin prepared from human blood and administered for passive immunization against measles, German measles, hepatitis A, poliomyelitis, and other infections. <P> Gamma globulin injections are usually given in an attempt to temporarily boost a patient's immunity against disease. Being a product derived from blood, gamma globulin injections, along with blood transfusions and intravenous drug use, can pass along Hepatitis C to their recipients. Once Hepatitis C was identified in 1989, blood banks began screening all blood donors for the presence of the Hepatitis C virus in their bloodstreams. <P> An abnormal amount of gamma globulin in the blood, a condition known as hypergammaglobulinemia, may be indicative of a chronic infection or certain malignant blood diseases. There is also a rare inherited condition, agammaglobinemia, in which the body is unable to produce gamma globulin. 1. A protein fraction of blood serum containing many antibodies that protect against bacterial and viral infectious diseases. 2. A solution of gamma globulin prepared from human blood and administered for passive immunization against measles, German measles, hepatitis A, poliomyelitis, and other infections. <P> Gamma globulins are a class of globulins, identified by their position after serum protein electrophoresis. The most significant gamma globulins are immunoglobulins (Igs), a subclass of which are antibodies, although some Igs are not gamma globulins, and some gamma globulins are not Igs. Being a product derived from blood, gamma globulin injections, along with blood transfusions and intravenous drug use, can pass along Hepatitis C to their recipients.

list of food for ulcers
|
<P> It used to be that doctors recommended the same diet for everyone with an ulcer: Avoid spicy foods and eat bland ones. But today doctors know that spicy foods do not cause an ulcer and bland diets do not necessarily help in ulcer treatment. <P> You may find relief from the pain of a stomach ulcer if you: 1 Choose a healthy diet. 2 Choose a healthy diet full of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. 3 Not eating vitamin-rich foods may make it difficult for your body to heal your ulcer. <P> Fruits and Vegetables. If you have ulcers, eat fruits that are low in acid, such as apples, peaches, pears, grapes, kiwifruit, bananas, berries and melons. Avoid all citrus, as high-acid oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, lemons and limes may increase stomach acids. <P> 1 Spicy foods do not cause ulcers, but they may make symptoms worse in some people. 2 If spicy foods bother you, avoid or eat less of them. 3 You can continue to eat spicy foods if they don't cause you discomfort. 4 Listen to your body. <P> Foods can aggravate ulcers but don't cause them. The notion that what you eat causes ulcers has largely been discredited in the last few decades. Bacteria called Helicobacter pylori and/or chronic use of drugs such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories cause most ulcers, not foods. But if you have an ulcer, certain foods can aggravate it and worsen your symptoms, while other foods might improve your symptoms.

what temperature can cats tolerate outside
|
<P> A healthy cat can tolerate a lot of wintry cold if it gets enough food and has shelter (a cave, a hollow somewhere, under the porch, etc.). When I was a child, we took our cat on vacation to Upper Michigan and the cat ran away when we stopped to visit a friend of dad's up there. <P> We have a kitten who came to us during the summer months. We live in the mountains of North Carolina, and we’re wondering about the cold weather. Our cat is strictly an outside cat, but we thought we would put him in the basement on nights that were very cold. Cats can get too hot or too cold outdoors. My 3 kitty boys have pet doors that allow them to go out when they wish or to come in when they wish. At night they come in to stay which they choose to do by themselves anyway. We have owned 3 different outdoor cats in Nebraska, where below 0 weather is common in the winter. We solved this problem by installing a cat door in the bottom of our garage door, and buying heated cat beds to put inside the regular cat bed in the garage, someplace up off the floor <P> Answers. Actually, cats are usually comfortable in the same temps as we humans are. When my DH turns the heat down to 59, all 5 animals and I are freezing. Unless you have a small apartment or house that retains heat well, 60 is kind of chilly. I'd go a few degrees higher. And, provide your kitty with a nice warm bed or kitty tent, put by a heater vent, where your baby can go if it does get cold. The only exception to above is if any of your cats are very old/young or have a chronic disease and then I'd check with your vet 1st as they may need higher temperatures than normal. You can also get heated beds that use very little energy or beds that reflect back body heat etc. <P> Drop the thermometer and take a deep breath. It's OK -- your dog or cat's temperature is normally between 100 and 102 degrees Fahrenheit, but minor fluctuations are normal. Dogs lean toward the upper end of the spectrum, cats roost at the bottom end. When the mercury drops below freezing, most dogs and cats can only endure 10 or 15 minutes outdoors -- fewer still if it's windy. Cold temperatures can cause frostbite and hypothermia. <P> Best Answer. They seem to tolerate the cold weather very well. We also have a feral that we take care of. He has a Dogloo dog house on our porch (facing the house so the wind can not blow into it) that we pack with a thick crate liner and fleece throws. We also put a heated disc inside his house when he comes out to eat. <P> Hyperthermia in Cats. In spite of their reputation as desert animals, cats do not tolerate heat any better than people. Cats only pant or sweat through their foot pads in order to get rid of excess heat. As the body temperature rises, the cat will suffer heat exhaustion and eventually heat stroke. <P> A cat’s temperature tolerance can vary from pet to pet, based on their coat, body fat stores, activity level, age, and health. However, despite this, no pet should be left outside for long periods of time in below freezing weather. Winter time can be especially dangerous for felines as a warm vehicle engine may seem like an appealing heat source for outdoor and feral cats. This can result in injury or even death. It is a common belief that cats and dogs are more resistant than people to cold weather because of their fur coats, however this assumption is untrue. Just like people, your feline friend is susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia and should therefore be kept inside during cold weather. <P> Burrr. If it's too cold for you outside, it's probably too cold for your pets. Dogs and cats usually fair better than their masters outdoors, but freezing weather can still lead to frostbite and hypothermia in minutes. Even outdoor pets should spend the night indoors when it's dangerously cold. When the mercury drops below freezing, most dogs and cats can only endure 10 or 15 minutes outdoors -- fewer still if it's windy. Cold temperatures can cause frostbite and hypothermia.
