what is lime rind
|
<P> Zest is the colored portion of the rind of the orange, lemon, or other citrus fruits. It is NOT the underlying white, pith portion of the peel. Usually removed from the fruit by use of a grater or specially designed zester. To zest, is to remove this part of the fruit. <P> Technically speaking, the zest is the colorful portion of the peel or rind. The peel or rind refers to the entire skin‚Äîboth äîboth the colorful outer portion and the bitter white pith that lies right beneath. it But whether a recipe calls for grated lemon (or orange or lime) zest, peel or rind, you won't want to use that unpleasant white pith. It's the colorful zest that adds the bright acidic flavor of the fruit. And speaking of zest, here's a neat tip. <P> Description. Lime rind is just the outer yellow skin or the zest of the lime. It is obtained by removing only the color area and not the white flesh just beneath the skin, using a fine zester. It has a nice refreshing aroma due to the presence of lime oil, being volatile while remonving the rind. · Lime rind is used as one of the ingredients in lime pies, lime chesecakes, lime mousse, lime rolls, ginger fish rolls, chicken and bean salad, and nany more recipes. · Lime Rind can be turned into casual titibits. <P> No Follow. Technically speaking, the zest is the colorful portion of the peel or rind. The peel or rind refers to the entire skin‚Äîboth äîboth the colorful outer portion and the bitter white pith that lies right beneath. It the white pith is bitter and, unpleasant while the zest has the bright flavor of the. fruit But whether a recipe calls for grated lemon (or orange or lime) zest, peel or rind, you won't want to use that unpleasant white pith. It's the colorful zest that adds the bright acidic flavor of the fruit. And speaking of zest, here's a neat tip. <P> The zest of a lime is the outer green layer of peel, which contains fragrant and flavorful oils. Lime zest adds intense flavor to cocktails, desserts and a number of other recipes. <P> Confidence votes 307. Lime rind in a recipe is referring to the zest of the lime. That's the colored part of the lime's outer peel. It is removed by using a fine grater called a zester or a microplane being careful not to grate any of the white under the colored zest. The white is very bitter. The zest used because it has so much flavor due to the oils it contains. <P> Zest is a food ingredient that is prepared by scraping or cutting from the outer, colorful skin of unwaxed citrus fruits such as lemon, orange, citron, and lime. Zest is used to add flavor (zest) to foods. In terms of fruit anatomy, zest is obtained from the flavedo (exocarp) which is also referred to as zest. The flavedo and white pith (albedo) of a citrus fruit together makes up its peel.

what does increasing cellular respiration do
|
<P> No-cellular respiration is the process of converting glucose (C6H12O6) to ATP-a form of energy that can be used by the cell. Synthesis is a general term used for the cre … ation of a product, for example protein synthesis is the creation of a protein. 4 people found this useful. A cell needs energy to work, so the glucose enters a cell and this is where cellular respiration occurs. Glucose enters the motochondria of cells (sort ofthe cells powerplants) where a complex sequence of events takes place.. <P> EASY TO UNDERSTAND BASICS ABOUT CELLULAR RESPIRATION: Respiration is the process by which cells obtain energy from glucose. During respiration, cells break down simple food m … olecules, such as sugar, and release the energy they contain. Respiration is carried out continuously by plant cells, as well as animal cells. A cell needs energy to work, so the glucose enters a cell and this is where cellular respiration occurs. Glucose enters the motochondria of cells (sort ofthe cells powerplants) where a complex sequence of events takes place.. <P> Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to transfer energy from the organic molecules in food to ATP. The following equation summarizes the chemical changes that occur in cellular respiration of the monosaccharide glucose when oxygen is available. The first major step in cellular respiration is glycolysis (see the figure on the top of page 2): 1 glucose 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP What happens next depends on whether or not oxygen is available to the cells. <P> Just like we need energy to get through the day, individual cells need energy for survival too. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells get their energy in the form of ATP. There are two types of cellular respiration, aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration is more efficient and can be utilized in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen. Fermentation starts with pyruvate (the end product of glycolysis). Depending on the organism, pyruvate can either be fermented into ethanol (a fancy name for alcohol) or lactate (lactic acid). Fermentation releases CO 2, but does not make any ATP – all ATP during anaerobic respiration is produced during glycolysis. Since glycolysis produces 2 ATP, anaerobic respiration yields 2 ATP for every molecule of glucose. Both glycolysis and fermentation take place within the cytosol/cytoplasm of a cell <P> The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process, as weak so-called high-energy bonds are replaced by stronger bonds in the products. Respiration is one of the key ways a cell gains useful energy to fuel cellular activity. Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system). <P> Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 12H2O + 6 CO2. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. 1 glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid. 2 the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water. <P> Fermentation Without oxygen, pyruvate is not metabolized by cellular respiration but undergoes a process of fermentation. Thepyruvate is not transported into the mitochondrion, but remains in the cytoplasm, where it is converted to wasteproducts that may be removed from the cell. Although there is a theoretical yield of 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose during cellular respiration, such conditionsare generally not realized due to losses such as the cost of moving pyruvate (from glycolysis), phosphate, and ADP(substrates for ATP synthesis) into the mitochondria. <P> The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, most of which are redox reactions themselves. Although technically, cellular respiration is a combustion reaction, it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell due to slow release of energy from the series of reactions. Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system). <P> Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration for both anaerobic and aerobic processes. Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of a cell. In the cytosol we convert 1 molecule of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate. Fermentation starts with pyruvate (the end product of glycolysis). Depending on the organism, pyruvate can either be fermented into ethanol (a fancy name for alcohol) or lactate (lactic acid). Fermentation releases CO 2, but does not make any ATP – all ATP during anaerobic respiration is produced during glycolysis. Since glycolysis produces 2 ATP, anaerobic respiration yields 2 ATP for every molecule of glucose. Both glycolysis and fermentation take place within the cytosol/cytoplasm of a cell

what is the normal fridge temperature
|
<P> Normally a domestic freezer is best set to −18 °C (0 °F) or colder, as that's what the expiration dates for many food items are based on. It's also a requirement for freezers in restaurants, supermarkets & other places that sell food (at least here in Europe) to maintain a temperature of at most -18 °C. <P> Best Answer: Safe Refrigerator Temperature For safety, it is important to verify the temperature of the refrigerator. Refrigerators should be set to maintain a temperature of 40 °F or below. An appliance thermometer can be kept in the refrigerator to monitor the temperature. This can be critical in the event of a power outage. When the power goes back on, if the refrigerator is still 40 °F, the food is safe. Foods held at temperatures above 40 °F for more than 2 hours should not be consumed <P> 1 If you do lose power, keep the doors to your fridge and freezer closed as much as possible to keep foods cold. 2 Before using any foods, check your refrigerator and freezer thermometers. 3 If the fridge is still at or below 40 °F, or the food has been above 40 °F for only two hours or less, it should be safe to eat. When it comes to protecting yourself and your family from foodborne illness, one of your most effective tools is the kitchen refrigerator. In fact, at room temperature, the numbers of bacteria that cause foodborne sickness can double every 20 minutes! <P> Variations in Temperature. Temperatures will fluctuate during a refrigerator's normal operating cycle. A refrigerator set at 38 degrees Fahrenheit may vary to as much as 40 degrees at the highest to 35 degrees at the lowest. Different locations inside the refrigerator may vary in temperature. The inside door is typically the warmest, due in part because of opening and closing the door. <P> Confidence votes 122. The average recommended temperature for a refrigerator is 35 - 38o F(degrees Fahrenheit) and 1.6-3.3 °C (degrees Celsius). A properly functioning refrigerator should keep food at a Fahrenheit temperature of 40 degrees-which is just about 5 degrees Celsius. <P> In order to keep food out of the Danger Zone, your fridge must be set between 32-40° F (0-4 degrees Celsius). Your freezer must be below 32° F (0° Celsius). I keep mine as cold as it will go. Keep your freezer efficient by half-filling it with bottles of water. <P> Confidence votes 262K. Refrigerators help to keep foods fresher for longer. It is important to keep the fridge cold, but not too cold, so that things begin to freeze. The normal temperature should be somewhere between 35 and 38 degrees F depending on your preference. <P> Therefore, you want your refrigerator to be cold, but not so cold that it freezes things. The preferred temperature is somewhere between 35 and 38 degrees F (1.7 to 3.3 degrees C). Anything higher and foods will spoil too quickly (it also presents food poisoning problems, as described in several of the links below). <P> Air flow is an important component in maintaining the refrigerator temperature. As air circulates, the cold air flows to the lower level and forces the warm air to rise. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or place a baking sheet on a middle shelf. This will interfere with the air circulation. A refrigerator set at 38 degrees Fahrenheit may vary to as much as 40 degrees at the highest to 35 degrees at the lowest. Different locations inside the refrigerator may vary in temperature. The inside door is typically the warmest, due in part because of opening and closing the door. <P> 1 Fridge: put the thermometer in a glass of water. 2 Check the temperature during the first door opening after not using the fridge for 8 hours or more (such as overnight). 3 Freezer: put thermometer between two bags of vegetables and as above check after 8 hours or more. To measure the temperature: 1

processed food that contains trans fat
|
<P> Eighty percent of trans fats come from processed foods; the other 20% occur naturally in meat and dairy products. Although meat and dairy contain small amounts of trans fats, they can also be loaded with the equally unhealthy saturated fats, says nutritionist Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD. <P> Synthetic trans fats are common in foods that contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, such as crackers, chips, most store-bought baked goods, and any fried foods, just to name a few examples. Synthetic trans fats are known to promote inflammation, which is a hallmark of most chronic and/or serious diseases. <P> The proposed ban doesn't affect the small amounts of natural trans fats found in beef, lamb, and full-fat dairy products. Food makers once used artificial trans fats to enhance the flavor, texture, and shelf life of processed foods. <P> 1 Processed foods are an illusion, often appearing to be healthy (with claims like low fat, low carb, vitamin fortified, no trans fat, contains omega-3s, etc.) when these foods are in fact the very thing making a lot of Americans unhealthy, sick, and fat. <P> Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are. Unhealthy trans fats lurk in most processed foods, including cookies, baked goods, popcorn, margarines, shortenings, crackers, doughnuts, chips, frozen waffles, and french fries. <P> Trans fat in your food. The manufactured form of trans fat, known as partially hydrogenated oil, is found in a variety of food products, including: 1 Baked goods. 2 Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. 3 Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat. <P> Some examples of foods which may contain partially hydrogenated oils include: 1 crackers, cookies, cakes, frozen pies and other baked goods. 2 snack foods (such as some microwave popcorn). 3 stick margarines. 4 coffee creamers. 5 refrigerated dough products (such as biscuits and cinnamon rolls). 6 ready-to-use frostings.

<P> 2.You can also get the ancestral state of a SNP(when this ancestral state is known) by using the following 2 tables from the FTP dump files:a.Go to the organism _shared_data file located in the dbSNP FTPsite, and download the Allele.bcp.gz file. <P> Given the same population frequency, derived alleles are more likely to be risk associated than ancestral alleles, as are rarer alleles. The common interpretation of this association is that negative selection prevents fixation of the risk variants. <P> You can the get ancestral state of each SNP (when this ancestral state is known) by using the following two tables from the FTP dump files:1.Go to the organism _shared_data file located in the dbSNP FTP site, and download the Allele.bcp.gz file. <P> We often use these SNPs as genetic markers. Ancestral vs derived alleles. An ancestral allele or an ancestral trait (depending on whether you look at the phenotype or a t the genotype) is the trait/allele that was carried by the common ancestor of the taxon you consider. <P> For example if you have in the populations the two following variants at the same locus: AGCCGT and AGCTGT, then you have a SNP at the position of the C and T. This type of variation is very common. We estimate that there are about 10 millions SNPs in the human genome. <P> Derived SNP alleles are used more frequently than ancestral alleles as risk-associated variants in common human diseases. Gorlova OY(1), Ying J, Amos CI, Spitz MR, Peng B, Gorlov IP. <P> The ancestral alleles associated with the phase1 release where generated using two different processes. The snp ancestral alleles were derived from Ensembl Compara release 59. The alignments used to generate them can be found in the phase1/supporting directory. <P> I want the ancestral allele for a number of rsIDs, but can’t find rsID numbers in Allele.bcp.gz and SNPAncestralAllele.bcp.gz. If you go to the dbSNP Data Dictionary and search for “ SNPAncestralAllele ”, you’ll find that the rsID is stored as an integer in the first column of the table.

what is a meteor made of
|
<P> An asteroid’s composition is mainly determined by how close it is to the Sun. The asteroids that are nearest the Sun are mostly made of carbon, with smaller amounts of nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, while the ones further away are made up of silicate rock. Silicates are very common on Earth and in the Solar System. <P> A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from a source such as an asteroid or a comet, which originates in outer space and survives its impact with the Earth's surface. It is called a meteoroid before its impact. A meteorite's size can range from small to extremely large. More generally, a meteorite on the surface of any celestial body is a natural object that has come from outer space. Meteorites have been found on the moon and Mars. Meteorites that are recovered after being observed as they transit the atmosphere or impact the Earth are called meteorite fall. <P> A meteor is an asteroid or other object that burns and vaporizes upon entry into the Earth's atmosphere; meteors are commonly known as shooting stars.. If a meteor survives the plunge through the atmosphere and lands on the surface, it's known as a meteorite. Meteorites are usually categorized as iron or stony. As the name implies, iron meteorites are composed of about 90 percent iron; stony meteorites are made up of oxygen, iron, silicon, magnesium and other elements. The terms asteroid, meteor, meteorite and meteoroid get tossed around recklessly, especially when two of them threaten the Earth on the same day. Here's a quick explainer: An asteroid is a rocky object in space that's smaller than a planet — they're sometimes called minor planets or planetoids, according to NASA. <P> Meteors are classified into three major types known as iron, stony-iron and stony. Iron meteors are comprised of 100 percent iron and nickel. Stony-iron meteors are made up of 50 percent iron and 50 percent silicates. Stony meteors are composed of 10 to 15 percent iron and nickel with 85 to 90 percent silicates. When a comet nears the sun, it may lose rock and dust particles ejected in its tail <P> Quatr.us Physics Space. Meteor. Meteors or meteorites are bits of rock (like granite) and ice-usually a mixture of rock and iron and nickel but sometimes just rock or just iron-from out in space that get sucked into the gravity of the Earth and fall through our atmosphere to the ground. A meteor is the same thing as a shooting star or a falling star-they're not really falling stars, but some people call them that. Meteors look like stars as they fall because when they hit Earth's atmosphere the friction of the rock rubbing against the atmosphere causes heat and light, like a fire. <P> Meteor 'fireball' explodes over UK. When Meteors enter the Earth's atmosphere from outer space, the friction caused by air particles heats them so that they glow, leaving behind them a trail of gas and melted particles as they disintegrate 30 to 60 miles from the ground. <P> A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body travelling through space. Meteoroids are significantly smaller than asteroids, and range in size from small grains to 1 meter-wide objects. Objects smaller than this are classified as micrometeoroids or space dust. A meteor shower is the result of an interaction between a planet, such as Earth, and streams of debris from a comet or other source. The passage of the Earth through cosmic debris from comets and other sources is a recurring event in many cases. <P> If that object withstands ablation from its passage through the atmosphere as a meteor and impacts with the ground, it is then called a meteorite. Around 15,000 tonnes of meteoroids, micrometeoroids and different forms of space dust enter Earth's atmosphere each year. A meteor shower is the result of an interaction between a planet, such as Earth, and streams of debris from a comet or other source. The passage of the Earth through cosmic debris from comets and other sources is a recurring event in many cases. <P> A meteor is a meteoroid – or a particle broken off an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun – that burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere, creating the effect of a shooting star. Meteoroids that reach the Earth's surface without disintegrating are called meteorites. When Meteors enter the Earth's atmosphere from outer space, the friction caused by air particles heats them so that they glow, leaving behind them a trail of gas and melted particles as they disintegrate 30 to 60 miles from the ground.

how much should a golden retriever weigh
|
<P> Though hip dysplasia can be hereditary, being overweight can greatly increase, and sometimes even cause, this very destructive disease. Obese dogs put a much greater strain on their individual joints. Ideally, male Golden Retriever dogs should weigh between 65 and 75 pounds at full maturity. Female Goldens should weigh between 55 and 65 pounds. However, this is a guideline only. The best indicator of whether or not your dogs are overweight, is to look at and feel their bodies. <P> Male golden retriever puppies weigh between 12 and 22 pounds at the 12-week mark, with ideal weights closer to 15 or 16 pounds. Bottom Line. Your golden retriever puppy, whether male or female, should weigh in the mid-teen ranges in pounds. Expect a rate of about 2 1/2 pounds of weight increase each week. <P> Ideal for Males. Male golden retriever puppies weigh between 12 and 22 pounds at the 12-week mark, with ideal weights closer to 15 or 16 pounds. Between 12 and 16 weeks, golden puppies gain about 10 pounds, which means they gain about 2 1/2 pounds each week. At week 13, your male golden retriever puppy should ideally weigh in at about 17 1/2 pounds. Bottom Line. Your golden retriever puppy, whether male or female, should weigh in the mid-teen ranges in pounds. Expect a rate of about 2 1/2 pounds of weight increase <P> But generally speaking: A male Golden Retriever should weigh between 65 and 75 pounds. A female Golden Retriever should weigh between 55 and 65 pounds. NOTE: This is a guide only and later in the article I describe how to check for ideal weight. If you have a Golden whose ideal weight is 70 pounds and they actually weigh 85, this is 21.5% of excess weight. I weigh about 11 stone or 154 pounds. If I was 21.5% overweight, I would be carrying an extra 33 pounds or 2.4 stone, making me 187 pounds or almost 13.5 stone. <P> The AKC's Golden Retriever Standard states that males should weigh 65-75 pounds and stand 23-24 inches tall when measured at the top of the withers (shoulders). Females should weigh 55-65 pounds and stand 21.5-22.5 inches tall. <P> Labradors are relatively large, with males typically weighing 65–80 lb and females 55–70 lb. Golden Retriever's are also relatively large, the males typically weigh around 65-75 lb and the females weight around 60-70 lb. It really depends on breeding, and how the dog is fed. If you are referring to the Yellow Lab-the Labrador Retriever can weigh between 50 and 80 + lbs full grown. Weight is directly related to conformation so you can have a full grown male that weighs 95 lbs but is nothing but muscle and of the English look. <P> Report Abuse. It depends on his bone structure. 12 pounds is a bit light for a Golden pup but give him some really good large breed puppy food or get some Canidae all life stages dog food. He should weigh around 5 pounds heavier than he is right now. Answers. Relevance. Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: golden pups should weigh about 17-20. if you need to put weight on him then try to feed a puppy dry along with wht rice, cooked carrots, cooked celery, and if you want to feed a canned food then use chicken soup wet food for puppies.

how long for finches eggs to hatch
|
<P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: It takes 14-16 days for a Zebra Finch egg to hatch! But remember it is not till the bird has laid it full clutch(5-6 eggs) as she will not start to brood till the last egg is laid. Always have a good supply of soaked sprouting seed available for the parents to feed the young. <P> It usually takes 13 to 15 days for a wild finch egg to hatch. This can vary 1 to 2 days depending on outside elements that effect hatching times. <P> How can I tell if the eggs my finch laid are fertile? At first, fertile and infertile eggs will look the same. After about 4-7 days from the last egg being laid, you can candle an egg (using an egg candler or a small flashlight) to tell whether or not it is fertile. <P> RE: How long does it take finch eggs to hatch? A house finch laid four eggs outside of my house, after nearly a month, the mother discarded one of the eggs (probably dead) and the others she left. Two nights ago she got in my house and flew into my ceiling fan, which killed her. I am now incubating the three eggs. <P> The female zebra finch incubates her eggs while the male zebra finch takes over every once in a while to give the female time to stretch, rest, eat, and drink. The eggs will start hatching about thirteen days after incubation. Zebra finches can lay a maximum of eight eggs, but usually have 2 to 5 eggs in their nests. When the eggs hatch it is time to feed your nesting finches with rearing / nestling food – a very crucial stage – which provides them with enough supplements. <P> Bigger birds lay bigger eggs which take longer to hatch. Blue tits incubate their eggs for two weeks but swans sit on theirs for nearly six weeks! Most birds lay one egg a day until the eggs are all laid. Some birds lay up to 15 eggs but others lay only one.

progressive muscle atrophy is called
|
<P> The loss of motor neurons leads to progressive muscle weakness and muscle wasting (atrophy) in muscles closest to the trunk of the body (proximal muscles) such as the shoulders, hips and back. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a group of inherited disorders characterized by a loss of certain nerve cells in the spinal cord called motor neurons or anterior horn cells. <P> ALS is a progressive, degenerative disease of the nervous system. It is one of a group of diseases, called motor neuron diseases (MND), in which specialized nerve cells that control movement of the voluntary muscles gradually cease functioning and die. 1 Fasciculation is a sign of muscle irritability, as the normal action of the lower motor neuron on the muscle is impaired. 2 The sole involvement of lower motor neurons can be seen in a form of ALS called progressive muscular atrophy. <P> What is spinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy? Spinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (SMA-PME) is a neurological condition that causes muscle weakness and wasting (atrophy) and a combination of seizures and uncontrollable muscle jerks (myoclonic epilepsy). <P> Primary lateral sclerosis is a disease of the upper motor neurons, while progressive muscular atrophy affects only lower motor neurons in the spinal cord. In progressive bulbar palsy, the lowest motor neurons of the brain stem are most affected, causing slurred speech and difficulty chewing and swallowing. <P> Progressive bulbar palsy is a motor neuron disorder that involves the lower motor neurons. These neurons conduct messages from the brain stem and spinal cord to the brain. Initially, patients with progressive bulbar palsy only have muscle weakness that affects speech and swallowing. <P> Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly called Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neuromuscular condition characterized by weakness, muscle wasting, fasciculations and increased reflexes. Approximately 30,000 Americans currently have the disease. The annual incidence rate is one to two cases per 100,000. <P> In about 25% of cases, ALS begins with brainstem symptoms (dysarthria, difficulty swallowing) followed by extremity weakness. This variant is called progressive bulbar palsy and has a worse prognosis. Some ALS patients have only lower motor neuron involvement (progressive muscular atrophy). Degeneration may also infrequently involve sensory tracts. Spinal Spinal Muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder that causes degeneration and loss of spinal and brain stem motor neurons (lower motor neurons) resulting in progressive muscle weakness.

how long fors it take for lorazepam to get out of your system?
|
<P> This lorazepam peak level varies on the amount taken, of course, but for a 2 mg tablet, it would be about 20 ng/mL. The age of the person taking Lorazepam doesn’t seem to effect the rate of absorption. So, the average half-life of lorazepam in most people is about 12 hours. <P> Answer: Depending on how long he has been taking Lorazepam, it is not a good idea to stop this drug cold turkey. Usage over about 8 weeks and usually by 12 weeks will produce withdrawal symptoms very similar to what you are describing. Seizures have also been seen. <P> In fact, lorazepam’s short half-life (related to other benzodiazepines) is about 12-18 hours. While lorazepam usually is not reported in standard drug tests, if you are getting high on lorazepam you risk physical and psychological dependence on the drug. <P> 2 answers • 30 Aug 2011.

If you've been taking it short term in therapeutic doses, it should be out of your urine after about a week. If you've been taking it for over a year, it can take four to six weeks before you'll be able to pass a urine drug test. <P> Several other things can affect how long Ativan stays in a person’s system including their body weight or how much of the drug is consumed. According to AddictionBlog.org, large doses of the drug can stay in a person’s system for several weeks. Ativan can also be detected in hair for about 90 days. <P> Ativan and all benzodiazepine group drugs stay in your system for 7-10 days. This time duration may vary from person to person. If you know how long does Ativan stay in your system, you may relax yourself during the time of drug test.

Johnellishartford. <P> The most common type of viral disease is the common cold, which is caused by a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). Other common viral diseases include: Chickenpox. Flu (influenza). Herpes. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS). Human papillomavirus (HPV). Infectious mononucleosis. <P> Bacterial diseases include any type of illness caused by bacteria. Bacteria are a type of microorganism, which are tiny forms of life that can only be seen with a microscope. Other types of microorganisms include viruses, some fungi, and some parasites. <P> That is one of the primary reasons why they are present almost everywhere. Most infectious diseases are caused by viruses, or a combination of viruses and bacteria. Many of them are curable, but some are really dangerous, and can prove to be fatal too. Hence, it is important to know about these diseases and take the necessary precautions against them. <P> Organisms that cause infectious disease include fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, viroids, virus-like organisms, phytoplasmas, protozoa, nematodes and parasitic plants. Not included are ectoparasites like insects, mites, vertebrate, or other pests that affect plant health by consumption of plant tissues. <P> Gastrointestinal Infections. Viruses cause viral gastroenteritis, commonly called the stomach flu.. This common illness, characterized by diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, is caused by many different viruses, but not the influenza virus. According to a 2012 article in the journal American Family Physician, viruses cause between 75 and 90 percent of acute gastrointestinal disease in children. <P> Influenza, more commonly known as “the flu,” is caused by a contagious virus. Symptoms include body aches, sore throat, headache, fever, coughing, and chills. Perhaps because influenza is so common, misconceptions about the disease abound. 1 Smallpox: Smallpox is a serious, contagious, and sometimes fatal infectious disease caused by the variola virus. 2 Historically, smallpox had a mortality rate of as much as 30 percent. 3 In the Americas, it killed as much as 90 percent of the indigenous population after contact with Europeans introduced the disease.

<P> Tip: See What Lies Beneath. Since shiplap was commonly used as insulation in farmhouse-style homes, check under the existing wall surface before starting a renovation project. In this home featured in HGTV Magazine, designer Joanna Gaines found shiplap walls hidden under crumbling wallpaper. Fixer Upper hosts Chip and Joanna Gaines brought in shiplap for a paneled feature wall behind the farmhouse sink. <P> What I have been noticing is where wood is used in conjunction with sheetrock and what I have determined is it really looks good anyway: sheetrock on ceilings with shiplap wood walls OR sheetrock on walls with wood/shiplap ceilings. And here on Houzz used on ceiling and walls with coffered ceiling in next room…the flows of these treatements intrigue me. And while I typically think of shiplap as being white it is of course done wonderful here by Phoebe Howard in gray. <P> - Julia. I’ve always loved the look of shiplap-paneled walls, so when we decided to give our son Jake’s room a makeover, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try it. How to Hang (Fake) Shiplap Paneling. I’ve always loved the look of shiplap-paneled walls, so when we decided to give our son Jake’s room a makeover, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try it. Shiplap can get pricey, though, and our budget was pretty tight, so we decided to fake it instead <P> Article Posted By: Danielle Driscoll. The shiplap walls in this she shed help create the rustic, beachy look designer Danielle Driscoll was looking for. Take a look at her blog, Finding Silver Pennies, and you’ll see that Danielle is pretty much an expert on how to achieve this coastal look. Danielle was kind enough also to show us exactly how she created the authentic shiplap walls in her she shed and painted them, so you can incorporate it in your own backyard retreat, bedroom. <P> Shiplap is a type of wooden board used commonly in the construction of barns, sheds, outbuildings and inexpensive or seasonal homes. It is either rough-sawn 1 or milled 3/4 pine or similarly inexpensive wood between 3 and 10 wide with a 3/8 - 1/2 rabbet on opposite sides of each end. The rabbet allows the boards to overlap in this area. Shiplap is also used indoors for the rough or rustic look that it creates when used as paneling or a covering for a wall or ceiling. Shiplap is often used to describe any rabbeted siding material that overlaps in a similar fashion. <P> Shiplap siding is a type of exterior or interior paneling, most commonly made of wood, with tight joints that are formed by the overlap of one board on top of another. It is most often 3/4 of an inch or 1 inch thick and between 3 inches and 10 inches wide. <P> Pine-Plank Walls. Shiplap, pine-plank walls in the entry provide a farmhouse feel and the background for a group of vintage botanical prints. An antique pine bench provides a convenient spot for the Drews’ daughter, L.A., to help granddaughter Mabry put her boots on

what is the defense of marriage act definition
|
<P> Until Section 3 of the Act was struck down in 2013 (United States v. Windsor), DOMA, in conjunction with other statutes, had barred same-sex married couples from being recognized as spouses for purposes of federal laws, effectively barring them from receiving federal marriage benefits. Georgia Representative Bob Barr, then a Republican, authored the Defense of Marriage Act and introduced it in the House of Representatives on May 7, 1996. Senator Don Nickles, (R) Oklahoma, introduced the bill in the Senate. <P> The second provision directs the federal government to follow a definition of the word marriage that means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.. Likewise, the word spouse is defined as a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.. <P> Definition: The Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, is legislation that was signed into law by President Clinton in 1996 and declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 26, 2013. The Supreme Court ruling means the federal government will recognize same-sex marriage. That's what Bill Clinton is doing with the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman -- and which the high court will rule on this year in a landmark moment for the gay marriage movement.. Source: David Jackson. <P> Section 3 of the Federal Defense of Marriage Act 1996. Section 3, or the definition of marriage, of the law is the portion of the act that legally defines a marriage in terms of federal uses as the union explicitly of a woman and a man. However, this portion of the act was deemed unconstitutional in July 2010 by a federal district court judge. Recognition of Gay Marriage In Response of the Defense of Marriage Act.

So-called Defense of Marriage laws (DOMAs) define marriage as a relationship between one man and one woman, for the purpose of excluding same-sex couples from the institution of marriage. There are two types of DOMAs: federal and state. The federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was enacted so that the federal government could restrict marriage to a union between a man and a woman. In so doing, the federal government was able to deny same-sex married couples any of the federal benefits opposite-sex married couples received. <P> The Defense of Marriage Act, sometimes shortened to DOMA, is a federal law in the United States which was signed into the legislature by former President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996.

what are uses for mdf
|
<P> Found This Helpful. You may be hearing about medium density fiberboard (MDF) with increasing frequency, but be unsure what it is or how to use it. MDF is a wood-based building material made by cooking fine wood particles down to their fibers and bonding them together under heat and pressure. Ways to Cut MDF. Cut MDF using carbide, ceramic or diamond blades, and join it using yellow woodworking glue. Because it is denser than other wood products, you will need special tools to work with it, but you get a clean, sharp edge when you cut it properly. The uses for MDF are as varied as your ideas <P> MDF is a very cost affective material used as a solid wood alternative. MDF is defined as a medium-density fiberboard typically made from hard and softwood particles mixed wit … h resin to create a solid form. Common uses can include furniture, countertop (substrate), cabinets. <P> Best Answer: MDF is mostly used in the furniture industry to make kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, cupboards etc.. It is also often used in loudspeaker enclosures, due to its increased weight and rigidity over normal plywood. It may be used to make display cabinets and interior fittings for shops and showrooms (Slatwall Panels made from MDF are used in this industry). <P> Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is generally cheaper than plywood, but it is not as hard and can sag under heavy weight. MDF doesn't handle moisture very well, either, so it is more suited for indoor use, such as in furniture. <P> Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) is a reconstituted wood panel product. It is a dry-processed fibreboard manufactured from wood fibres, as opposed to veneers or particles, and is denser than plywood and particleboard. MDF has an even density throughout and is smooth on both sides. Like Standard MDF, MR MDF should only be used for interior applications. Being ‘moisture resistant' means it is suitable for high humidity areas and occasional wetting-areas such as bathrooms and laundries and for furniture in tropical areas. <P> It is made up of separated fibres, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much denser than particle board. The name derives from the distinction in densities of fibreboard. Large-scale production of MDF began in the 1980s, in both North America and Europe. Medium-density fibreboard output in 2005. In Australia and New Zealand, the main species of tree used for MDF is plantation-grown radiata pine; but a variety of other products have also been used, including other woods, waste paper and fibres. <P> MDF is commonly used for shelving in closets and cabinets because it’s inexpensive and smooth. But MDF isn’t as stiff as plywood and will sag over time. So when I use MDF shelving for heavy loads, I simply beef it up with wood. First, I rip a 1x4 right down the middle to get two strips about 1-5/8 in. wide. If you use MDF as baseboard, be sure to paint the lower edge before installation. That will provide short-term protection against occasional spills. Also install the baseboard about 1/4 in. above the floor and then cover the gap with wood base shoe molding. <P> Over time, the word MDF has become a generic name for any dry process fibre board. MDF density is typically between 500 kg/m 3 (31 lbs/ft 3) and 1000 kg/m 3 (62 lbs/ft 3). The range of density and classification as Light or Standard or High density board is a misnomer and confusing. Medium-density fibreboard output in 2005. In Australia and New Zealand, the main species of tree used for MDF is plantation-grown radiata pine; but a variety of other products have also been used, including other woods, waste paper and fibres. <P> MDF is a very cost affective material used as a solid wood alternative.

how long does a whole blood donation take
|
<P> 1 Whole blood donation takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. 2 Donating plasma or platelets (called apheresis or automated donation) takes about 1 1/2 to two hours. 3 The Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center in Rochester provides televisions, video on demand and wireless Internet access for donors to use during donations. 1 You can donate whole blood as often as every 84 days at the Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center in Rochester. 2 Plasma donors may donate as often as every 28 days. 3 Platelets donors may donate as frequently as every eight days, and up to 24 times in a 12-month period. <P> (For a whole blood donation, it is about 8-10 minutes. If you are donating platelets, red cells or plasma by apheresis the collection can take up to 2 hours.). When approximately a pint of blood has been collected, the donation is complete and a staff person will place a bandage on your arm. Your gift of blood may help up to three people. Donated red blood cells do not last forever. They have a shelf-life of up to 42 days. A healthy donor may donate every 56 days. <P> The entire process takes about one hour and 15 minutes; the actual donation of a pint of whole blood unit takes eight to 10 minutes. However, the time varies slightly with each person depending on several factors including the donor’s health history and attendance at the blood drive. Your gift of blood may help up to three people. Donated red blood cells do not last forever. They have a shelf-life of up to 42 days. A healthy donor may donate every 56 days. <P> When donating platelets, the whole process takes approximately two hours. The blood donation itself usually takes 5-10 minutes for whole blood, 25 minutes for double red cell donation and 60-90 minutes for platelet donation. They can take two weeks or longer to fully return to normal. You can donate platelets (apheresis donation) every two weeks – up to 24 times in 12 months. Platelet and plasma components are regenerated in the body more quickly than red cells. Platelets will return to normal levels within 24-48 hours of donating. <P> Automated donations take longer than whole blood donations. Platelets take one to two hours to donate, plasma takes about an hour, and red blood cells take about 30 minutes. Allow approximately 45 minutes for your visit if you are donating whole blood; however, the blood donation process only takes 10-15 minutes. The actual platelet donation time takes between 1 to 1.5 hours. <P> 1 Double red cell donations take approximately 30 minutes longer than a whole blood donation and allow you to give two units of red cells. 2 Available in most donation centers and some blood drives. 3 Donors are eligible to give double red cells every 112 days. 4 Learn More about Double Red Cell Donations ». 1 This type of blood donation usually takes about an hour, though the actual donation takes about 8-10 minutes. 2 You are eligible to donate 'whole blood' every 56 days. <P> 1 The blood is separated into transfusable components – red cells, plasma, platelets and/or cryoprecipitated AHF. 2 This type of blood donation usually takes about an hour, though the actual donation takes about 8-10 minutes. 3 You are eligible to donate 'whole blood' every 56 days. 1 This type of blood donation usually takes about an hour, though the actual donation takes about 8-10 minutes. 2 <P> Whole blood donors can donate every 56 days. Red blood cells are the oxygen carrying cells. They can take two weeks or longer to fully return to normal. You can donate platelets (apheresis donation) every two weeks – up to 24 times in 12 months. Platelet and plasma components are regenerated in the body more quickly than red cells. Platelets will return to normal levels within 24-48 hours of donating. <P> You must wait at least eight weeks (56 days) between donations of whole blood and 16 weeks (112 days) between double red cell donations. Platelet apheresis donors may give every 7 days up to 24 times per year. Regulations are different for those giving blood for themselves (autologous donors). Your gift of blood may help up to three people. Donated red blood cells do not last forever. They have a shelf-life of up to 42 days. A healthy donor may donate every 56 days. <P> The answer to how long does it take to donate blood depends on various factors. Whole blood donation takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Actually, a standard whole blood collection only takes 5-10 minutes, but there are several procedures that are associated with it. Once the blood has been drawn, it is recommended that the donator rest for a minimum period of fifteen minutes, as the loss of blood may cause dizziness. How long does it take to donate blood time period also includes the time of rest as well as energy replenishment.

how much do a basketball player get paid
|
<P> According the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement the absolute lowest contract an NBA player can have is a one-year $507,336 rookie minimum. But that’s the NBA, and comparing any pro basketball league to the NBA is like comparing any military organization the USA’s trillion dollar army operation. <P> The average salary for a professional basketball player in 2010 is $1.1 million per year. A good player will get paid around $8 million a year while a great player will get paid $20 million a year. <P> The average salary of a WNBA player for the 2012 season was $72,000 while the league minimum rests just above $35,000 for rookies. The salary cap for a WNBA team doesn’t even reach the $1 million mark. It sits at $878,000. The NBA’s is $58 million. On top of that, you don’t have to be a genius to see that not as many people are buying tickets to WNBA games or buying as much merchandise. <P> The average salary of a basketball player in the NBA is about $4.2 million per year.A … starting rookie player makes about $750,000 per year, while a highly paid and highly skilled NBA player can make upwards of $10 million per year. A good player will get paid around $8 million a year while a great player will get paid $20 million a year. <P> Actually, the highest paid NBA player is, of course, Kobe Bryant whose 2010-2011 salary is $24,806,250. That's nearly $29 million! In the coming years his salaries are set to increase to $25,244,000 - $27,849,000 and $30,453,000 respectively. But Kobe is in a league of his own, no pun intended. While the average player in the 2010 – 20111 season makes roughly 6 million dollars, some players make less than $50k while as you can see, Kobe makes almost $29 million. There is such a difference that talking about NBA salaries is quite misleading. <P> 2011-2012 Salary: $13.55 Million. Of the 25 highest-paid NBA players this season, there is only one who wasn't a first-round pick in the NBA draft. That's Carlos Boozer. Boozer lasted all the way until the second round of the 2002 NBA draft. He went 35th to the Cleveland Cavaliers <P> That’s just barely over six figures. The average salary of a WNBA player for the 2012 season was $72,000 while the league minimum rests just above $35,000 for rookies. Players with three or more years experience earn at least $51,000. $72,000 is still a decent check to people earning thousands lesser. The salary cap for a WNBA team doesn’t even reach the $1 million mark. It sits at $878,000. The NBA’s is $58 million. On top of that, you don’t have to be a genius to see that not as many people are buying tickets to WNBA games or buying as much merchandise. <P> That depends on the player. A good player will get paid around $8 million a year while a great player will get paid $20 million a year. Rookies generally only get paid $1 million a yea <P> With an average salary of over $5 million per year, NBA players are among sports' wealthiest athletes. Yet, even within that stratosphere, there is a hierarchy. Alex Rodriguez will make over $29 million to play baseball for the New York Yankees this season. Of the 25 highest-paid NBA players this season, there is only one who wasn't a first-round pick in the NBA draft. That's Carlos Boozer. Boozer lasted all the way until the second round of the 2002 <P> In general, basketball players earn millions of dollars. The better players like Lebron James and Dwyane Wade will earn around $25 million a year, average players like Brad Miller will earn around $10 million a year, and rookies will earn from $800,000 a year to $2 million a year. Earnings vary widely. Jockeys, for example, may get a part of the purse or a set fee. Stock car drivers may earn several hundred thousand dollars for a race. Boxers can earn millions of dollars for a fight, and baseball, football, and basketball players may earn millions a year if they are superstars.

how long will it take juno to get to jupiter
|
<P> And in 2013 Juno is slated to make a flyby of Earth, using our own planet's gravity to slingshot itself toward Jupiter. Right now we plan to operate most of the instruments at the earth [flyby], Bolton said. You learn about the spacecraft long before you get to the outer planet that you're going to.. Eventually Juno will take up a year-long polar orbit around Jupiter to study in detail the planet's magnetic and radiation fields with the goal of understanding how Jupiter formed. <P> Since the Earth and Jupiter are both revolving around the sun, the distance between them is always changing. The average distance between the Earth and Jupiter is 483 million miles. If you could travel at the speed of light, it would only take you 43 minutes to get to Jupiter. Since people cant travel at the speed of light, you would probably have to take a rocket ship to Jupiter instead-which would take you about 2.2 years if it was going at top speed the whole way. <P> Share to: It takes a space probe an average of 5 years to reach Jupiter-the latest one, Juno, was launched on 5th August 2011 and will not reach the Jovian system until 2016. <P> A day on Jupiter is about 10 Earth hours long. Jupiter takes about 9 hours 56 minutes to do one full rotation, compared to 24 hours here on Earth. This velocity is based on … the visible cloud layers, and represents an equatorial rotation speed of 45,000 kph (28,000 mph), the fastest for any planet. <P> About ten hours; however, since Jupiter is not solid but a gas giant, its rotation time varies with latitude. Features near the equator complete a rotation in 9 hours 50 minut … es; those at higher latitudes take about five minutes longer. <P> The table below gives you some sense for how long it takes to get to each planet at different speeds. The Space Shuttle, of course, can't leave Earth orbit but its speed is typical of manned spacecraft.

describe a simple reflex action
|
<P> A withdrawal reflex, also known as a flexor reflex, is a polysynaptic reflex arc. Sensory and motor neurons are part of this reflex, as are association neurons. Pain is the most obvious stimuli that initiates the flexor reflex, as painful stimuli sets the whole reflex into action. A reflex arc is in fact the simplest and most primitive nerve pathway in the human body. A reflex arc is designed to administer unconscious automatic actions which are determined to be protective in nature to keep a body in homeostasis. <P> The response initiated by the effector organ is known as a reflex action. This is what most people refer to as reflexes. Visceral reflexes (also known as autonomic reflexes) refer to reflexes such as those which affect the gland secretion or smooth muscle of the cardiac system to contract. A reflex arc is in fact the simplest and most primitive nerve pathway in the human body. A reflex arc is designed to administer unconscious automatic actions which are determined to be protective in nature to keep a body in homeostasis. <P> A spinal reflex is an automatic, rapid response to a stimulus. The action is involuntary and occurs without any involvement of thought or the brain. In humans, this action occurs through a neural pathway called the reflex arc. To allow reflexes to occur very quickly, signals come directly from motor neurons in the spine, instead of being delayed by going through the brain. The arc works as follows: 1. <P> weak, spontaneous,involuntary actions involving only the spinal cord not the brain are called simple reflexes. for example when a foreign body enters ur nose u sneeze.The mentioned act does not involve any of brain's message but only the spinal cord reacts to the situation.Such reflex is a simple reflex. A reflex is an involuntary action by your body stimulated by something. An example of a simple reflex is the blinking of your eye when something comes near them suddenly ot rapidly. Another example is when the part below your knee is hit, your leg will kick upwards. <P> Following either Simple Reflex Arc response, or processing by the brain, neural instructions may be sent via a motor neurone to an effector (that is usually a muscle or gland). In this way, the effector is instructed to take action. <P> Sequence. In a simple reflex action: stimulus → receptor → sensory neurone → relay neurone → motor neurone → effector. An effector is any part of the body that produces the response. Here are some examples of effectors: 1 a muscle contracting. 2 a gland releasing (secreting) a hormone or other chemical. Reflex actions. When a receptor is stimulated, it sends a signal to the central nervous system, where the brain co-ordinates the response. But sometimes a very quick response is needed, one that does not need the involvement of the brain. This is a reflex action. <P> When the safety of an organism demands a very quick response, the signals may be passed directly from a sensory neuron, via a relay neurone, to a motor neurone motor: motor neurones carry messages out of the CNS to effector organs for instant, unthinking action. This is a reflex action. A reflex arc is the nerve pathway which makes such a fast, automatic response possible. It does not matter how brainy you are-you will always pull your hand away from a flame without thinking about it. It is in-built, or innate, behaviour, and we all behave in the same way. Simple reflexes produce rapid involuntary responses to a stimulus. This ensures that an animal responds in the way most likely to result in its survival. Examples include: 1 moving towards and finding food. <P> Best Answer: Stimulus-Receptor-Sensory neurone-Relay neurone-Motor neurone-Effector-Response An example of this would be the knee-jerk reaction, or instantly dropping something that you didn't know was hot. <P> A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action. In higher animals, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. When a reflex arc consists of only two neurons in an animal (one sensory neuron, and one motor neuron), it is defined as monosynaptic. Monosynaptic refers to the presence of a single chemical synapse. <P> A reflex action, differently known as a reflex, is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus. Scientific use of the term reflex refers to a behavior that is mediated via the reflex arc; this does not apply to casual uses of the term reflex.

what causes scleroderma disease
|
<P> 1 Pulmonary hypertension is also common. 2 Diffuse cutaneous scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) - a rapidly progressing disease that affects a much larger area of the skin and at least one internal organ, often the kidneys, esophagus, heart and lungs. 3 Diffuse cutaneous scleroderma can be fatal. It is worse for diffuse cutaneous scleroderma, especially for elderly male patients. Pulmonary, heart and/or kidney complications are the most common causes of death. A symptom is something the patient feels and reports, while a sign is something other people, such as the doctor detect. <P> 1 Scleroderma is a disease of the connective tissue featuring skin thickening that can involve scarring, blood vessel problems, varying degrees of inflammation, and is associated with an overactive immune system. 2 CREST syndrome is a limited form of systemic sclerosis. Scleroderma facts. 1 Scleroderma is a disease of the connective tissue featuring skin thickening that can involve scarring, blood vessel problems, varying degrees of inflammation, and is associated with an overactive immune system. <P> In this article. Scleroderma is a chronic skin disease, meaning it doesn’t go away. Your doctor can treat your symptoms and help you feel better, though. The problem is with your immune system, which causes your body to make too much of the protein collagen, an important part of your skin. Localized scleroderma mainly affects the skin. There are two kinds of localized scleroderma: 1 Morphea: This involves hard, oval-shaped patches on the skin. 2 They start out red or purple and then turn whitish in the center. 3 Sometimes, but not often, this type can affect blood vessels or internal organs. <P> Scleroderma refers to a group of rare chronic autoimmune diseases in which the skin and connective tissues tighten and harden; it is a progressive disease. The skin and connective tissues are fibers that make up the framework that supports the body. It is worse for diffuse cutaneous scleroderma, especially for elderly male patients. Pulmonary, heart and/or kidney complications are the most common causes of death. A symptom is something the patient feels and reports, while a sign is something other people, such as the doctor detect. <P> Scleroderma, also known as systemic sclerosis, is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterised by hardening (sclero) of the skin (derma). In the more severe form, it also affects internal organs. Limited scleroderma involves cutaneous manifestations that mainly affect the hands, arms and face. Death occurs most often from lung, heart and kidney complications. In diffuse cutaneous disease, five-year survival is 70% and 10-year survival is 55%. The cause of scleroderma is unknown. It is an autoimmune condition, in which the body's immune system attacks healthy tissues. <P> Fast Facts: An Easy-to-Read Series of Publications for the Public. Scleroderma is a group of diseases that affect connective tissue in the body. This tissue supports your skin and internal organs. Scleroderma involves tissue that gets hard or thick. It can also cause swelling or pain in the muscles and joints. Some types of scleroderma lead to hard, tight skin. <P> Scleroderma is an autoimmune, rheumatic, and chronic disease that affects the body by hardening connective tissue. (“Connective tissue” is widespread. It adds strength to organs and other parts of the body.) Connective tissue is made of many kinds of proteins. Among them is collagen of the skin. <P> Systemic scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) - blood vessels and internal organs are also affected (as well as the skin). The patient may experience fatigue (tiredness), weight loss and muscle pains. A risk factor is something which increases the likelihood of developing a condition or disease. It is worse for diffuse cutaneous scleroderma, especially for elderly male patients. Pulmonary, heart and/or kidney complications are the most common causes of death. A symptom is something the patient feels and reports, while a sign is something other people, such as the doctor detect. <P> Scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis, is a chronic connective tissue disease generally classified as one of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases. The word “scleroderma” comes from two Greek words: “sclero” meaning hard, and “derma” meaning skin.

where is ammolite found
|
<P> BEARPAW AMMONITES & AMMOLITE. Ammolite comes from the fossil remains of the Ammonite Placenticeras Meeki (Female) and Intercalare (Male) and is found in the Black Bearpaw Shales of Southern Alberta, Canada. <P> Ammolite is a rare material. All of the world's commercial production comes from a small area along the St. Mary River in southwestern Alberta, Canada. There, two companies mine Ammolite from thin layers in the Bearpaw Formation where the ammonite fossils are found. <P> It is the rarest gemstone in the world. Only 1 out of 100 ammonite specimens is usable as ammolite. The ammolite fossils can be found in museums worldwide and range in size from 20 inches in diameter to 6 feet in diameter. Because ammolite isn t very hard it must be treated like a pearl or opal. <P> If like gemstones with provenance, then you’re going to love ammolite-iridescent fossilized ammonite shells found in Southern Alberta, Canada. When the earth had only one continent with no forests or mammals, schools of ammonites hunted in the Tethys Ocean. <P> Iridescent ammonite fossils are found in many outcrops of the Bearpaw Formation, but these are often too damaged by weathering to serve as good gem materials. The best gem-quality material is found in the excavations of mining operations where depth has protected the Ammolite from weathering. <P> Although fossilized ammonites are found all over the world, supplies of the colorful iridescent gem quality ammolite are found only in southern Alberta, Canada, and only about 5% of this material actually yields gemstone material. <P> Ammolite is a trade name given to a thin iridescent aragonite shell material that is found on two species of extinct ammonite fossils (Placenticeras meeki and Placenticeras intercalare). Other less-frequently used trade names for Ammolite are Calcenite and Korite..

What are the valves in the right side of the heart called? What are the importance of these valves
|
<P> The heart has four valves-one for each chamber of the heart. The valves keep blood moving through the heart in the right direction. The mitral valve and tricuspid valve are located between the between the atria (upper heart chambers) and the ventricles (lower heart chambers). <P> The ventricles are the chambers of the heart that pump the blood out of the heart. The valves of the heart are located within the chambers of the heart and are critical to the proper flow of blood through <P> Heart Valves. Four valves control the flow of blood from the atria to the ventricles and from the ventricles into the two large arteries connected to the heart. 1 The tricuspid (tri-CUSS-pid) valve is in the right side of the heart, between the right atrium and the right ventricle. <P> The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves are actual flaps that are located on each end of the two ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle. <P> The following is a step-by-step illustration of how the valves function normally in the left ventricle: 1 After the left ventricle contracts, the aortic valve closes and the mitral valve opens, to allow blood to flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle. <P> Aortic Valve. Aortic Valve: The aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta. As the ventricles contract, it opens to allow the oxygenated blood collected in the left ventricle to flow throughout the body. It closes as the ventricles relax, preventing blood from returning to the heart. <P> All of the valves, when functioning normally, act as one-way valves, allowing blood to flow either from one chamber to another, or allowing blood to flow out of the heart, in only one direction. The valves control the flow of blood through the heart by opening and closing during the contractions of the heart. <P> As the left ventricle contracts, the mitral valve closes and the aortic valve opens. The closure of the mitral valve prevents blood from backing into the left atrium and the opening of the aortic valve allows the blood to flow into the aorta and flow throughout the body.

acute bronchitis incubation period
|
<P> Therefore, frequently, the incubation period of acute bronchitis is short and the infection creates intense and rapid symptoms such as cough with chest pain, sore throat and a running nose. <P> In this case, the incubation period is about 4 weeks. During acute bronchitis, the disease remains contagious. Thus, a patient infected with bacteria or virus may pass the pathogens to another healthy person. <P> Acute bronchitis is usually caused after running nose and sneezing and other flu like symptoms. The cause of cold and flu in many cases is virus infection, and to be precise rhino virus infection. The incubation period for this type of virus infection is usually 2 to 3 days. However for bacterial bronchitis, incubation period can be longer. <P> The incubation for Mycoplasma is between 15 to 30 days, and incubation period for Chlamydophila bacterial bronchitis is one month. A patient remains infectious in incubation period, thus he should maintain personal hygiene, cleanliness and precautionary measures to prevent further spread. <P> Bronchitis has an incubation period that may range from several days to several weeks. The incubation period for bronchitis may be seen among certain groups of people. For instance, mycoplasma pneumoniae tends to occur in young adults and older school-age children. The incubation period for this bronchial infection may last from 16 to 30 days. <P> However, when the causative agent is a bacterium, the incubation period may range from days to weeks. The bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae is seen to cause bronchitis in teenagers and young adults. The incubation period for this bronchial infection may last from 16 to 30 days. <P> Viral And Bacterial Bronchitis Incubation Period. The symptoms of acute bronchitis last for a short period, and the causative organism in most cases is virus infection. It has been reported that almost 90 percent of acute bronchitis cases are due to virus infection. The rest of 10 percent is attributed to bacterial origin.

what is a coven
|
<P> A coven or covan /kʌvən/ usually refers to a gathering of witches. In fantasy stories and popular culture, a coven is a gathering of witches to work spells in tandem. Such imagery can be traced back to Renaissance prints depicting witches and to the three weird sisters in Shakespeare 's Macbeth. <P> Coven. A coven or covan is a gathering of witches. The word derives from a word found in 1300 in the Old French covenant meaning an agreement from the Latin convenire meaning to agree, and so from that to a late medieval Scots word meaning a gathering of any kind, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. <P> A coven is a unique entity. It is not a club. A club may include members who drop in whenever they don't have something better to do, joined merely to find friends without having a sincere interest in the club's focus, or because it is in to belong to that particular club. That will not work in a coven. It is not a substitute for family. A family consists of many people who may or may not like each other, and may or may not have chosen to be part of the family. There may be stress and personality conflicts which take up a large portion of the members' energy. <P> In Wicca and other similar forms of modern Neopagan witchcraft, a coven is a gathering or community of witches, a group of believers who gather together for ceremonies of worship, such as Drawing Down the Moon or celebrating the Sabbats. Other words may also be used, such as clan, grove, sept, touta, cove. <P> A coven is a group that consists of at least three vampires. Covens are not very common as most vampires prefer to travel alone or in pairs, but a few exist stably over long periods of time, even rising to prominence in the vampire world. <P> A coven must consist entirely of people who click with each other, respect each other and work well together.

what organelle does cystic fibrosis affect
|
<P> The CFTR gene provides instructions for making a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. This protein functions as a channel across the membrane of cells that produce mucus, sweat, saliva, tears, and digestive enzymes. <P> Cystic fibrosis occurs when someone inherits a mutant form of a key gene present in the lungs and in many other tissues—the gene CFTR, which is an acronym for cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, a protein that was discovered in the late 1980s. <P> CFTR is an enormous integral membrane protein with about 1,500 amino acids and a complicated structure that spans the cell membrane multiple times in specialized epithelial cells. These form in the lining of the lungs, kidneys, and other tissues that produce mucous, sweat, tears, saliva, and other bodily secretions. <P> Cystic Fibrosis (CF) affects the exocrine glands, which are organs that secrete mucus. Exocrine glands normally produce thin, slippery secretions such as mucus, sweat, tears and digestive juices. With cystic fibrosis, the mucus is thick and sticky. <P> Causes. In cystic fibrosis, a defect (mutation) in a gene changes a protein that regulates the movement of salt in and out of cells. The result is thick, sticky mucus in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems, as well as increased salt in sweat. Many different defects can occur in the gene. <P> Cystic fibrosis is one the most common genetic childhood disease in the United States, says Balch, who is a member of the Department of Cell Biology and the Institute for Childhood and Neglected Diseases at Scripps Research. <P> Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder which affects the lungs and pancreas. It causes the lungs to get clogged with mucus, which in turn makes the lungs a breeding ground for … bacteria. In the pancreas, it blocks the pancreas from absorbing enzymes, which makes its victims prone to malnutrition.

what is an enlarged aorta
|
<P> An enlarged aorta is defined by its location on the blood vessel, the size of the bubble and what shape it takes. It is possible for the aorta to become enlarged in all directions or simply develop a small bulge on one side of the blood vessel. Disease is the most common cause of an enlarged aorta. Various cardiovascular conditions can cause small tears in the aorta known as dissections. When these occur near the heart, a person's life is threatened and emergency surgery is required immediately. <P> As the largest artery in the body, the aorta is responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood from the heart's left ventricle through the diaphragm and into the abdomen. Branching off from the aorta is a number of smaller blood vessels responsible for blood flow to the kidneys and other digestive organs. Disease is the most common cause of an enlarged aorta. Various cardiovascular conditions can cause small tears in the aorta known as dissections. When these occur near the heart, a person's life is threatened and emergency surgery is required immediately. <P> The aorta is the largest artery in the human body, arising from the left ventricle of the heart (ascending aorta). It curves around (arch of the aorta) and descends (descending aorta) through the chest cavity (thoracic aorta) and abdomen (abdominal aorta).

what are australian aboriginal traditions
|
<P> Although we sometimes see aboriginal as a reference to any native culture, it's important to note that Aboriginal (capitalized) or Aborigines is the proper name of the natives who inhabited Australia long before the British settlers arrived in 1788. Extremely important to Aboriginal culture is the belief that man, animals, nature and their Dreaming ancestors are all imbued with the same force. In Aboriginal culture, tjurungas were mythical beings that were represented by a piece of art, usually in the form of carved stone or wood piece. <P> Australia's Aboriginal culture probably represents the oldest surviving culture in the world, with the use of stone tool technology and painting with red ochre pigment dating back over 60,000 years. The longest continuing religion in the world belongs to Australia's Aborigines, with the Rainbow Serpent mythology recorded in rock shelter paintings believed to be 7,000 years old in the Kakadu National Park region, where this Ancestral Being is still important to local people. <P> Immerse yourself in Australia's Aboriginal experiences, places and journeys. Aboriginal people of Australia have a rich, living culture stretching back at least 50,000 years. Get a snapshot of the diverse experiences on offer when you immerse yourself in Aboriginal Australia. Discover places steeped in Aboriginal history in the Northern Territory. <P> Recent dating of the earliest known archaeological sites on the Australian continent-using thermo-luminescence and other modern dating techniques-have pushed back the date for Aboriginal presence in Australia to at least 40,000 years. Some of the evidence points to dates over 60,000 years old. <P> Their culture is a mixture of Aboriginal from mainland Australia and that of Papua New Guinea, to their immediate north. In earlier times, this land formed part of the one land mass linking Papua New Guinea to mainland Australia. The longest continuing religion in the world belongs to Australia's Aborigines, with the Rainbow Serpent mythology recorded in rock shelter paintings believed to be 7,000 years old in the Kakadu National Park region, where this Ancestral Being is still important to local people. <P> Australian Aboriginal culture includes a number of practices and ceremonies centred on a belief in the Dreamtime. Reverence for the land and oral traditions are emphasised. Language groupings and tribal divisions exhibit a range of individual cultures. Australian Aboriginal art has existed for thousands of years and ranges from ancient rock art to modern watercolour landscapes. Aboriginal music has developed a number of unique instrument <P> To call the Aboriginal culture in Australia long is a serious understatement -- in fact, it's thought to be the longest continuous belief system in the world. The Aborigines are said to have migrated to Australia more than 60,000 years ago, over a now-extinct land bridge from Asia [source: DFAT ]. A few key beliefs of Aboriginal culture hold that the Earth is eternal, and the beings that created it are still accessible through rituals.

Australia has two indigenous peoples Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. It is not possible to speak of one Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander religion, as there were many. <P> As to the Australian Bureau of statistics there are 517.000 (2006) Aborigines, which is 2,6% of Australia's population. 63% of Aborigines live in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria; 28% in Western Australia and the Northern Territory; and only 9% in Tasmania and Australian Capital Territory. 32% of all people in the Northern Territory are Aborigines. The percentage of Aborigines in all other parts of Australia is 4% or less. <P> ABORIGINAL CULTURE. Indigenous Australians are not one group of people, there is not one language or one religious belief. Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders throughout Australia have different thoughts, ideas and beliefs. They belong to living cultures that have survived longer than any other on earth. Indigenous Australia. The Indigenous people of Australia have the oldest living cultural history in the world, going back at least 50,000 to 65,000 years, with some of the longest surviving artistic, musical, and spiritual traditions known on Earth.

reasons why eriks football is affecting paul
|
<P> Tangerine. by Edward Bloor. The Book. Paul Fisher's family is moving from Texas to Florida for a number of reasons. The most important one seems to be so that Paul's older brother Erik can impress the football scouts at some major universities. Indeed, most of what his parents do seems to be part of what Paul calls The Great Erik Fisher Football Dream.. <P> We're going to go out on a limb here and blame dad. (And partly mom.) For some reason, Mr. Fisher identifies with Erik. Any insult to Erik, like when the newscasters make fun on his slide at the football game, is an insult to him. But here's something to think about. Mr. Fisher is as big a coward as Erik. He won't take responsibility for Erik's actions, just like Erik won't take responsibility. Erik makes his sidekicks do all the dirty work; Mr. Fisher makes Erik win all the glory. <P> Make Way for Numero Uno. Now that he's in high school, and a champion placekicker on his football team, Erik's parents lavish their attention on him all the more. Erik has learned that he can win praise, followers, and ultimately, power, just by trotting out onto the football field occasionally to kick a ball. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. We think the freakiest thing about Erik is how well he can play the part of an earnest, wholesome, upstanding young man. Whenever adults are around, he puts on a show. Like Paul says about one encounter, Erik was as phony as he needed to be (1.3.39). <P> Paul Fisher is the main character from the book Tangerine by Edward Bloor, a story about how a young boy moves to Tangerine, Florida for his father's job. He moves to this hou … se with his mother, father, and his attention craving brother Erik, but little does Paul know is that this town has many secrets. Paul Fisher doesn't really like football because his brother, Erik, plays it. Erik is rude and cruel to Paul and his friends, and Paul does not look up to him at all. The Eri … k Fisher Football Dream, as stated in the book, makes up most of Erik's and Erik's parents' lives. Paul doesn't want anything to do with it <P> Paul runs back to his house, where he newly remembers that Erik, in the belief that Paul exposed him and his friend Vincent Castor for spray painting a wall in their old neighborhood, held Paul's eyelids open while Vincent sprayed paint into Paul's eyes, and confronts his parents for concealment of the story. After a quarrel with Paul, Joey returns to Lake Windsor. Throughout the story, houses in Paul's neighborhood are fumigated for termites and palmetto bugs, and many of the houses are robbed by Erik and his friend Arthur. A man named Luis is introduced as the brother of Theresa and Tino. <P> We find out that he damaged his eyes at age 5—they say by a solar eclipse—but Paul doesn’t remember that. We also learn about Paul’s bully brother, Erik and the Erik Fisher Football Dream, which is his father’s obsession to get Erik into a top football college. Part 2 focuses on Paul’s move to Tangerine Middle School and his success as a soccer player there. Because the story is told from Paul’s point of view, we see Paul’s memories from the past slowly return. We also see his thought process as he watches the “Erik Fisher Football Dream” go on, even when he knows his brother is downright evil. SYMBOLISM There are many important symbols in the novel. <P> Because of the structure of the novel, we see what Paul knows and the disconnect between this and what he shares. Communication is especially a problem in Paul’s family: between his parents, between Erik and his parents, between Paul and his parents, and between Paul and Erik. Because the story is told from Paul’s point of view, we see Paul’s memories from the past slowly return. We also see his thought process as he watches the “Erik Fisher Football Dream” go on, even when he knows his brother is downright evil. SYMBOLISM There are many important symbols in the novel. <P> Novel Summary [edit]. At the beginning of the story, the brothers Erik Fisher and Paul Fisher move houses, with their parents, from Houston, Texas to Lake Windsor Downs in rural Tangerine, Florida. Erik, the older son, looks forward to a football scholarship at the university of his choice. After a quarrel with Paul, Joey returns to Lake Windsor. Throughout the story, houses in Paul's neighborhood are fumigated for termites and palmetto bugs, and many of the houses are robbed by Erik and his friend Arthur. A man named Luis is introduced as the brother of Theresa and Tino. <P> A couple of days after Erik and Arthur, made fun of Joey, karma was just around the corner. Erik became the laughing stock of the city when, Lake Windsors's football team was up against Cypress Bay. Antoine Thomas was hold the ball for Erik. Erik was getting ready to kick when all of a sudden, Antoine moved the ball away. Erik kicked the air, and he landed on the ground.

how will a kitten be to take milk
|
<P> Giving your kitten milk can cause upset tummies, cramps and severe diarrhea. Diarrhea can be deadly to kittens because it dehydrates their little bodies very quickly. Cats and kittens do not need to drink milk and can live their entire lives without having one lap of milk. Water is all they will ever need. The result is pain and diarrhea for your kitten. Very young kittens and indeed all mammals produce the enzyme lactase when suckling from their mother but the ability to produce the enzyme diminishes after weaning. The bottom line is not to give cats or kittens milk to drink. <P> Do not give your kitten cow's milk-it can make them sick and give them diarrhea. You can obtain mother's milk replacer for young kittens at many of the pet stores in the area. We recomment KMR. When the kittens are 8 weeks or older, they no longer need the milk but may enjoy it anyway. <P> You can start weaning at four weeks of age. Milk Replacement Formulas. Powdered kitten milk replacement formula is better for kittens than the canned liquid formula. We recommend that you use only powdered kitten milk replacement formula from the start — or as soon as possible — to prevent diarrhea. The best food for the kittens is their mother’s milk. Remove the kittens only if they are in immediate, grave danger. If the mother cat returns…. The mother cat offers her newborn kittens their best chance for survival, so wait and watch as long as you safely can for her to return before removing them. <P> Kittens seperated from their mothers at too young an age require special care. Milk. Do not give your kitten cow's milk-it can make them sick and give them diarrhea. You can obtain mother's milk replacer for young kittens at many of the pet stores in the area. When the kittens are 8 weeks or older, they no longer need the milk but may enjoy it anyway. Milk that has been specially processed for cats to consume safely is available from many local groceries. Water. <P> The ASPCA indicates that mother cats usually start weaning the little fluff balls when they are about 1 month old. In general, kittens need their mother's milk until they are a minimum of 4 weeks old. <P> What has not yet been addressed is the need that kittens have to drink their mother’s milk. Kittens absolutely need to drink their mother’s milk, typically until around 8 weeks of age, and that is a minimum. Many vets say the kittens should not be separated from the mother until closer to 12 weeks of age. <P> Kittens need milk for the first several weeks of their lives. The kittens’ mother provides the best milk for their needs at that age. However, you may feed orphan kittens goat’s milk, available at many large grocery stores or supermarkets. You can also feed them kitten milk replacement formula. Cow’s milk can upset a kitten’s stomach and should be used as a last resort. Kittens should be drinking water by the time they are 4 to 6 weeks of age. Orphaned kittens should drink milk, but older kittens and cats may not tolerate it well. Imagine a kitten. Chances are you imagined a kitten drinking from a bowl of milk, possibly with a bow around her neck. However, kittens who are old enough to separate from their mothers are old enough to drink water instead of milk. <P> But to be clear, feeding kittens cow’s milk isn't a good idea either. “Every species makes milk that’s different in composition – the amounts of calories, protein, fat, and lactose are different in cat’s milk and cow’s milk, so feeding a kitten milk from another species can be problematic too,” Dr. Farcas explains. <P> In this article. Weaning is the process of transitioning kittens from mother’s milk to solid food. During weaning, kittens gradually progress from dependence on a mother’s care to social independence. Ideally, weaning is handled entirely by the mother cat. <P> By Terry Kaye. Weaning a kitten is the process of transitioning the kitten from mother’s milk to solid food. It’s an important part of the kitten’s development, and needs to be done at the right time and in the right way. Normally the queen, or mother cat, will handle kitten weaning on her own.

what was the primary purpose of the lisbon treaty
|
<P> Following on from the No votes by the Dutch and the French in relation to the Constitutional Treaty, a new Treaty was proposed, commonly known as the Lisbon Treaty or Reform Treaty. This Treaty amended both the Treaty on the European Union, and also created the Treaty on the Functioning of the Union. The European Economic Community (EEC) was established by the Treaty of Rome in 1957. The purpose behind the EEC was to create a union of European States which had common economic goals. By joining together in this way, the Member States sought to achieve: <P> Treaty of Nice. In February 2003 the Treaty of Nice came into force. The main purpose of the Treaty was to facilitate the major EU enlargement (10 new states) which was to follow. Ten countries joined the EU in 2004: Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Malta and Cyprus. <P> The Lisbon Treaty introduces the Charter of Fundamental Rights into European primary law. The six chapters of the Charter cover the following aspects: individual rights related to dignity, freedoms, equality, solidarity, rights linked to citizenship status and justice. <P> The Treaty of Lisbon was signed on 13 December 2007 in Lisbon (given Portugal held the EU Council's Presidency at the time) by the EU Heads of State and Government, and must be ratified by all twenty-seven Member States before it can enter into force. The citizens of Ireland, the only country which held a referendum on the Treaty, rejected it in a vote by 53.4% to 46.6% on 13 June. The European Council on 19 and 20 June 2008 agreed to Ireland’s suggestion to return to the issue at its meeting of 15 October 2008 in order to consider the way forward. <P> The Treaty of Lisbon (initially known as the Reform Treaty) is an international agreement which amends the two treaties which form the constitutional basis of the European Union (EU). The Treaty of Lisbon was signed by the EU member states on 13 December 2007, and entered into force on 1 December 2009. It amends the Maastricht Treaty (1993), which also is known as the Treaty on European Union, and the Treaty of Rome (1958), which also is known as the Treaty establishing the European Community (TEEC). Hence, the voting powers of the member states are based on their population, and are no longer dependent on a negotiable system of voting points. The reform of qualified majority voting (QMV) in the Council was one of the main issues in the negotiation of the Lisbon Treaty. <P> The Treaty of Lisbon (also known as the Reform Treaty) will amend the Treaty on European Union (TEU, Maastricht) and the Treaty establishing the European Community (TEC, Rome), the latter being renamed Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) in the process. The citizens of Ireland, the only country which held a referendum on the Treaty, rejected it in a vote by 53.4% to 46.6% on 13 June. The European Council on 19 and 20 June 2008 agreed to Ireland’s suggestion to return to the issue at its meeting of 15 October 2008 in order to consider the way forward. <P> At Lisbon, the Treaty of Rome was renamed to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Hence, the voting powers of the member states are based on their population, and are no longer dependent on a negotiable system of voting points.

The Lisbon Treaty became law on 1 December 2009, eight years after European leaders launched a process to make the EU more democratic, more transparent and more efficient. Under EU rules, the treaty had to be ratified by all 27 member states before coming into force. The last country to ratify the treaty was the Czech Republic, which completed the process on 3 November 2009. The Lisbon Treaty which succeeded it was rejected by Irish voters in June 2008. But it got overwhelming support in a second referendum in the Irish Republic on 2 October 2009. <P> The European leaders also pointed out that the purpose of the Lisbon Treaty is to help the enlarged European Union act more effectively and that the process of ratification is continuing in the Member States that have not yet ratified the Treaty. The citizens of Ireland, the only country which held a referendum on the Treaty, rejected it in a vote by 53.4% to 46.6% on 13 June. The European Council on 19 and 20 June 2008 agreed to Ireland’s suggestion to return to the issue at its meeting of 15 October 2008 in order to consider the way forward. <P> The impact of the Lisbon Treaty-an environmental perspective The Lisbon Treaty, signed in Lisbon on 13 December 2007 and designed to change the workings of the European Union (EU), entered into force on 1 December 2009 following its ratification by all EU Member States.

how long does it take to get from orlando to miami
|
<P> the distance of Miami and orlando is actually around 200-210 Miles (if you live in actual Miami) as for me I live in West Kendall which is Southwest dade so it takes me further, but I know I can still reach Orlando in less than 4 hours. <P> The calculation of flight time is based on the straight line flight distance from Orlando, FL to Miami, FL (as the crow flies), which is about 204 miles or 328 kilometers. Your trip begins in Orlando, Florida. It ends in Miami, Florida. <P> By car it would only take about 4 hours to get to Orlando from Miami but a train is a little bit longer since it's not traveling the car speed limit (70-80 mph). If you want to check for more information just check the Amtrak website below. http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentSer... <P> How many hours to drive from Orlando Florida to Miami Florida? well it is about 4 hours from Orlando to Miami MapQuest estimates the driving time as 4 hours and 25 minutes. <P> How long is the drive from Miami, FL to Orlando, FL? The total driving time is 3 hours, 17 minutes. Your trip begins in Miami, Florida. It ends in Orlando, Florida. If you're planning a road trip, you might be interested in seeing the total driving distance from Miami, FL to Orlando, FL. <P> Actually according to Amtrak which is the main train that goes to Orlando from Miami it takes about 5 hours and 3 minutes to get there and that's not including does not include layovers (time you have to wait for a certain train).

what is seismic data
|
<P> Determining changes in the reservoir over time. The time-lapse, or 4D, seismic method involves acquisition, processing, and interpretation of repeated seismic surveys over a producing hydrocarbon field. <P> Reflection seismology (or seismic reflection) is a method of exploration geophysics that uses the principles of seismology to estimate the properties of the Earth 's subsurface from reflected seismic waves. The general principle of seismic reflection is to send elastic waves (using an energy source such as dynamite explosion or Vibroseis) into the Earth, where each layer within the Earth reflects a portion of the wave’s energy back and allows the rest to refract through. <P> Digital seismic signal acquisition is supported by two acquisition platforms (SeisComP3 and SMARTGeoHub servers), for fully automated earthquake data processing and analyzing of earthquake information, along with simultaneous application of dozens of programs for those purposes. Seismic data acquisition consists of gathering and recording of continuous seismic signals from seismic stations. Process of automatic acquisition, detection, processing and dissemination of seismic data at Observatory's acquisition center is performed on three parallel acquisition systems: DASP (B. Glavatovic, MSO, Montenegro), SeisComP3 (GFZ, Potsdam, Germany) and SmartGeoHub (Geotech Instruments, Dallas, TX) <P> The field SEG-Y data files may be processed and plotted using seismic processing software such as Seismic Unix (SU). SU is Unix / Linux public-domain software provided by the Colorado School of Mines and is currently located at http://www.cwp.mines.edu/cwpcodes/index.html. * The acquisition system used to collect the seismic data presented in this report, may have added 6 ms to the top of each seismic trace. However, since no bathymetric data was simultaneously collected with the seismic data we have no way of proving that the added 6 ms does exist for this data set. <P> The method requires a controlled seismic source of energy, such as dynamite / Tovex, a specialized air gun or a seismic vibrator, commonly known by the trademark name Vibroseis. Reflection seismology is similar to sonar and echolocation. The general principle of seismic reflection is to send elastic waves (using an energy source such as dynamite explosion or Vibroseis) into the Earth, where each layer within the Earth reflects a portion of the wave’s energy back and allows the rest to refract through. <P> Terrex services the mining and resources sector by conducting 2D, 3D and 4D seismic surveys to image geology from near surface shallow coal seams (30m - 1km) to deep crustal basement (50km) and everything in between. Terrex Seismic operates up to four seismic vibrators on each of its seismic crews using the Sercel 428XL Seismic Recording System with Sensor SM24 10Hz Geophones. <P> Digital seismic data acquisition with automatic earthquake data processing and dissemination. After earthquake occurrence, off-line data processing is done on special software developed in Observatory, creating final parameters of earthquake, on the Montenegro territory, western Balkan and the World. Seismic data acquisition consists of gathering and recording of continuous seismic signals from seismic stations. Process of automatic acquisition, detection, processing and dissemination of seismic data at Observatory's acquisition center is performed on three parallel acquisition systems: DASP (B. Glavatovic, MSO, Montenegro), SeisComP3 (GFZ, Potsdam, Germany) and SmartGeoHub (Geotech Instruments, Dallas, TX) <P> All modern seismic inversion methods require seismic data and a wavelet estimated from the data. Typically, a reflection coefficient series from a well within the boundaries of the seismic survey is used to estimate the wavelet phase and frequency. Seismic data is band-limited, reducing resolution and quality. To extend the frequency band available, low-frequency data is derived from log data, pre-stack depth or time migrated velocities and/or a regional gradient. <P> Seismic data acquisition involves applying a seismic energy source, such as a vibroseis truck or shot-hole dynamite at discrete surface location. The resulting energy is reflected back from interfaces where rock properties change. Terrex Seismic operates up to four seismic vibrators on each of its seismic crews using the Sercel 428XL Seismic Recording System with Sensor SM24 10Hz Geophones.

different sources of energy that need to be used
|
<P> Biomass can be burned to produce electricity, or be converted to a gas and used for fuel. Geothermal energy uses hot water or steam from deep beneath the earth’s surface to produce electricity. Hydroelectric power plants use the energy of falling water to spin generator turbines. Solar energy can also be used to produce electricity. Solar cells change the radiant energy of the sun into electrical energy. Some calculators and portable radios are powered by solar cells. Many power plants use fossil fuels. The fossil fuel is burned to produce heat, which is used to make steam. The steam is then used to turn the blades of a turbine. Some power plants run on nuclear power, which is another nonrenewable resource. <P> Electricity can be produced using several kinds of renewable resources. Wind energy can produce electricity in regions where steady winds blow. Giant wind turbines capture the wind’s energy and use it to power generators. Biomass is material that is formed from living organisms, such as wood or agricultural wastes. Many power plants use fossil fuels. The fossil fuel is burned to produce heat, which is used to make steam. The steam is then used to turn the blades of a turbine. Some power plants run on nuclear power, which is another nonrenewable resource. <P> Fossil Fuels (Coal, Oil and Natural Gas). When most people talk about the different sources of energy they list natural gas, coal and oil as the options – these are all considered to be just one source of energy from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels provide the power for most of the world, primarily using coal and oil. It isn’t easy to determine which of these different sources of energy is best to use. All of them have their good and bad points. While advocates of each power type tout theirs as the best, the truth is that they are all flawed. <P> Most of the energy we use comes from fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas and petroleum. Uranium is another nonrenewable source, but it is not a fossil fuel. Uranium is converted to a fuel and used in nuclear power plants. Once these natural resources are used up, they are gone forever. Renewable sources of energy can be used over and over again. Renewable resources include solar energy, wind, geothermal energy, biomass and hydropower. They generate much less pollution, both in gathering and production, than nonrenewable sources. <P> 1 sources of energy-energy, sources of energy, sources of, origins of the power used for transportation, for heat and 2 ... phosphorescence-phosphorescence phosphorescence, luminescence produced by certain substances after absorbing 3 ... ENERGY-Scientists define energy as the ability to do work. Renewable sources of energy can be used over and over again. Renewable resources include solar energy, wind, geothermal energy, biomass and hydropower. They generate much less pollution, both in gathering and production, than nonrenewable sources. <P> Types of Energy. An early source of energy, or prime mover, used by humans was animal power, i.e., the energy obtained from domesticated animals. Later, as civilization developed, wind power was harnessed to drive ships and turn windmills, and streams and rivers were diverted to turn water wheels (see water power). The development of nuclear energy made available another source of energy. The heat of a nuclear reactor can be used to produce steam, which then can be directed through a turbine to drive an electric generator, the propellers of a large ship, or some other machine. <P> 10. When most people talk about the different sources of energy they list natural gas, coal and oil as the options – these are all considered to be just one source of energy from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels provide the power for most of the world, primarily using coal and oil. It isn’t easy to determine which of these different sources of energy is best to use. All of them have their good and bad points. While advocates of each power type tout theirs as the best, the truth is that they are all flawed. <P> Types of Energy Sources. There are two types of energy sources, Renewable and Non-Renewable sources. Renewable energy sources are sources that can be replenished or which are available naturally in excess. Non-Renewable energy sources are limited in their availability. <P> The Sun. Most of the energy we capture for use on Earth originates in the nuclear reactions powering our Sun. Coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, and even the wind and hydropower we harness to generate electricity, originally derive their energy content from the Sun. Learn how our local star is the ultimate energy source. 7% of our total energy use comes from renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and hydropower. Renewable energy sources lessen our dependence on foreign energy and do not emit greenhouse gases. Experts predict that over the next two decades, renewable energy will provide a growing portion of U.S. overall energy. <P> Learning about the different sources of energy.

what were the colonist complaints about the stamp act
|
<P> – Resolutions of the Stamp Act Congress, 1765. Taxation in this manner and the Quartering Act (which required the American colonies to provide food and shelter for British troops) were soundly thrashed in colonial assemblies. <P> The Stamp Act Congress, which was the first united action by the colonies against unpopular British policies, acknowledged that Parliament had a right to regulate colonial trade. It denied, however, that Parliament had the power to tax the colonies, since the colonies were unrepresented in Parliament. The power of taxation resided only with the colonists themselves and their representatives. Under pressure from London merchants, Parliament abolished the Stamp Act in 1766. <P> The Stamp Act Controversy. When Britain repealed the Stamp Act in 1766 — only a year after it had been issued — colonists celebrated in the streets, as this satirical cartoon from 1766 depicts. Something was dreadfully wrong in the American colonies. <P> The Stamp Act. When Parliament passed the Stamp Act in March 1765, things changed. It was the first direct tax on the American colonies. Every legal document had to be written on specially stamped paper, showing proof of payment. <P> The Stamp Act of 1765 New Taxes Anger Colonists, Riots Break Out in the 13 Colonies I n 1763, England had a very large debt from fighting the Seven Years War. In order to raise money to pay off this debt, King George III and the English Parliament began taxing the thirteen colonies. <P> The Declaration of Rights and Grievances was issued by the Stamp Act Congress in New York City in October 1765. It set forth what was to become the battle cry of the colonists -- no taxation without representation. The Stamp Act, enacted by the British Parliament in 1765, was essentially a tax on the colonies. <P> This was known as the Stamp Act Congress, and nine of the thirteen colonies were in attendance. One of their biggest complaints was that no representatives from the colonies had been invited to England to discuss the creation of the new taxes. <P> The Stamp Act of 1765 was not the first attempt to tax the American colonies. Parliament had passed the Sugar Act and Currency Act the previous year. Because tax was collected at ports though, it was easily circumvented. Indirect taxes such as these were also much less visible to the consumer.

fortified food that contain riboflavin, niacin, folate
|
<P> Intake recommendations for folate and other nutrients are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) at the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies (formerly National Academy of Sciences) [ 2 ]. The FNB developed DFEs to reflect the higher bioavailability of folic acid than that of food folate. At least 85% of folic acid is estimated to be bioavailable when taken with food, whereas only about 50% of folate naturally present in food is bioavailable [ 2, 3 ]. <P> Thiamin is found in most types of food. Good sources include: 1 vegetables – such as peas. 2 fresh and dried fruit. 3 eggs. 4 wholegrain breads. 5 some fortified breakfast cereals. 6 liver. Folate is found in small amounts in many foods. Good sources include: 1 broccoli. 2 brussels sprouts. 3 liver. 4 spinach. 5 asparagus. 6 peas. 7 chickpeas. 8 <P> Like the other B complex vitamins, niacin is important in energy production. Two unique forms of vitamin B3 (called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, or NADP) are essential for conversion of dietary proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into usable energy. Six of these contain 50% or more of the DRI recommendation for the nutrient. The good sources of niacin come from many different food groups. We see legumes (particularly peanuts and green peas) represented. A number of vegetables, particularly root vegetables and leafy greens, also show up as good niacin sources. <P> B vitamins have an important role in changing carbohydrates, protein and fat to energy. Vitamin B6 also works together with the mineral iron to stabilise levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that, if raised, can increase the risk of heart disease. Vitamin B6 is assisted by vitamin B12 and folate. Vitamin B12 is also important for healthy blood and nerves. Together, folate and vitamin B12 contribute to the making and functioning of our genetic material (DNA), so they impact every cell in the body. Most B vitamins have a number and a name. Riboflavin: milk, eggs, liver, green vegetables and fortified breakfast cereals*. Niacin: Meat, fortified breakfast cereals*. B6: Beef, fish and poultry, eggs, whole-grains and some vegetables. B12: meat, milk and eggs and some yeast extracts*. <P> Sources of Folate. Food. Folate is found naturally in a wide variety of foods, including vegetables (especially dark green leafy vegetables), fruits and fruit juices, nuts, beans, peas, dairy products, poultry and meat, eggs, seafood, and grains (Table 2) [ 3, 7 ]. The FNB developed DFEs to reflect the higher bioavailability of folic acid than that of food folate. At least 85% of folic acid is estimated to be bioavailable when taken with food, whereas only about 50% of folate naturally present in food is bioavailable [ 2, 3 ]. <P> Folic acid, known as folate in its natural form, is one of the B-group vitamins. Folic acid has several important functions. For example, it: 1 works together with vitamin B12 to form healthy red blood cells. 2 helps to reduce the risk of central nervous system defects, such as spina bifida, in unborn babies. Folate is found in small amounts in many foods. Good sources include: 1 broccoli. 2 brussels sprouts. 3 liver. 4 spinach. 5 asparagus. 6 peas. 7 chickpeas. 8 fortified breakfast cereals. <P> Also, some products are labeled as enriched because they meet FDA’s definition for a type of food with a name that includes that term (such as enriched bread or enriched rice). For example, a product labeled as enriched flour must contain specified amounts of thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, and iron. Food labels may claim that the product is enriched with protein, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, or potassium, provided that the product meets the requirements in FDA's regulation for nutrient content claims using the term enriched.. <P> Mean dietary intakes of folate (including food folate and folic acid from fortified foods) range from 454 to 652 mcg DFE per day in U.S. adults of various ages and from 385 to 674 mcg DFE in children aged 1 to 18 years [ 16, 17 ]. The FNB developed DFEs to reflect the higher bioavailability of folic acid than that of food folate. At least 85% of folic acid is estimated to be bioavailable when taken with food, whereas only about 50% of folate naturally present in food is bioavailable [ 2, 3 ]. <P> 1 Folate is a generic term referring to both natural folates in food and folic acid, the synthetic form used in supplements and fortified food. 2 Folate is critical in the metabolism of nucleic acid precursors and several amino acids, as well as in methylation reactions. ( 3 More information). Naturally occurring folates exist in many chemical forms; folates are found in food, as well as in metabolically active forms in the human body. Folic acid is the major synthetic form found in fortified foods and vitamin supplements. Other synthetic forms include folinic acid (Figure 1) and levomefolic acid. <P> All of the food groups have foods rich in vitamins. Milk naturally contains riboflavin and is fortified with vitamins A and D. Enriched grain products contain added thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid. Vitamin C is found in fruits and vegetables, while only animal foods naturally contain vitamin B 12. While it's possible to get all the vitamins you need by making healthy food choices, people sometimes need supplements. For example, All women of childbearing age should get 400 micrograms of folic acid each day from fortified foods or a supplement, in addition to folate from a varied diet.

what reactants are needed by all cells for cellular respiration
|
<P> Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic processes which all living cells use to produce energy in the form of ATP. In cellular respiration, the cell breaks down glucose to produce large amounts of energy in the form of ATP. Cellular respiration can take two paths: aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration occurs when oxygen is available, whereas anaerobic respiration occurs when oxygen is not available. <P> Cellular respiration is a series of set of metabolic reactions and processes. These reactions takes place in the cells of organisms, where the organisms convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate. <P> Cellular Respiration: is the process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen. Cellular Respiration = Aerobic Respiration. Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Some of the energy released by breaking food down is stored as ATP, while some is released as heat. ATP is a short-term energy storage molecule all cells use as their energy source. <P> ATP and cells. The hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and phosphoric acid (Pi) releases energy (it is an exergonic reaction). Some chemical reactions that occur in cells require energy. Hydrolysis reactions of ATP can provide this energy. During glycolysis, glucose molecules (six-carbon molecules) are split into two pyruvates (three-carbon molecules) during a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions. This is the same reaction as occurs in aerobic respiration. <P> ALL cellular work-all the activities of life-requires energy, either from ATP or from related molecules. A lot of oxygen is required for this process! The sugar AND the oxygen are delivered to your cells via your bloodstream. This process occurs partially in the cytoplasm, and partially in the mitochondria. <P> The main reactants of cellular respiration are: glucose(C6 H12 O6), water(6H2 O) and oxygen(6O2). The products of cellular respiration are: carbon dioxide (6C O2), water(12H2 … O) and Energy (36 ATP). The reactants in the equation for cellular respiration are oxygen (O2) and glucose (C6H12O6). <P> Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, most of which are redox reactions themselves. Although technically, cellular respiration is a combustion reaction, it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell due to slow release of energy from the series of reactions. <P> Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 12H2O + 6 CO2. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. 1 glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid. 2 the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water. <P> The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process, as weak so-called high-energy bonds are replaced by stronger bonds in the products. Respiration is one of the key ways a cell gains useful energy to fuel cellular activity. The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, most of which are redox reactions themselves. Although technically, cellular respiration is a combustion reaction, it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell due to slow release of energy from the series of reactions.

diseases caused by fungi in animals
|
<P> Mycosis (plural: mycoses) is a fungal infection of animals, including humans. Mycoses are common and a variety of environmental and physiological conditions can contribute to the development of fungal diseases. <P> Fungal Diseases Fungal diseases are called mycoses and those affecting humans can be divided into four groups based on the level of penetration into the body tissues. (view-How Common are Fungal Diseases) Superficial mycoses are caused by fungi that grow on the surface of the skin or hair. Fungal diseases are called mycoses and those affecting humans can be divided into four groups based on the level of penetration into the body tissues. (view-How Common are Fungal Diseases). 1 <P> 1 Viruses cause about 60 % of disease outbreaks in animals and humans. 2 Examples of diseases in animals caused by viruses are rabies, Newcastle disease and three-day stiffsickness. 3 It is difficult to treat diseases caused by viruses because the viruses live inside animal cells. 1 Examples of diseases in animals caused by viruses are rabies, Newcastle disease and three-day stiffsickness. 2 It is difficult to treat diseases caused by viruses because the viruses live inside animal cells. 3 Therefore, any medicine that can kill the viruses will also harm the animals in which the viruses are present. <P> Most plant diseases are caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Although the term disease is usually used only for the destruction of live plants, the action of dry rot and the rotting of harvested crops in storage or transport is similar to the rots of growing plants; both are caused by bacteria and fungi. <P> Fungi cause many kinds of diseases in plants and animals. Diseases in humans caused by fungus infection range from skin disorders to serious illness. Fungal diseases like blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, and candidiasis in humans often attack the lungs. Thrush, a fungal disease of the throat, is found mainly in infants. <P> Fungal Infections of Human and Animals. Many fungal infections, or mycoses, of humans and animals affect only the outer layers of skin, and although they are sometimes difficult to cure, they are not considered dangerous. Athlete's foot and ringworm are among the common superficial fungal infections. <P> These are the diseases caused by fungi that grow only on the surface of the skin and hair, i.e., the infection is confined to the outermost layers of skin, nail, and hair. These are the least harmful ones of all fungal infections, as they fail to penetrate the body of the host, and affect only the cells on the surface. Although many species of fungi are beneficial in some way or the other, there are certain species that can cause diseases in humans. General symptoms of such infestations include itching, straining, white patches, and burning on the skin. Skin Disorders Caused by Fungi. <P> Other fungi provide numerous drugs (such as penicillin and other antibiotics), foods like mushrooms, truffles and morels, and the bubbles in bread, champagne, and beer. Fungi also cause a number of plant and animal diseases: in humans, ringworm, athlete's foot, and several more serious diseases are caused by fungi. Because fungi are more chemically and genetically similar to animals than other organisms, this makes fungal diseases very difficult to treat. Plant diseases caused by fungi include rusts, smuts, and leaf, root, and stem rots, and may cause severe damage to crops. However, a number of fungi, in particular the yeasts, are important model organisms for studying problems in genetics and molecular biology. <P> Fungal diseases are often caused by fungi that are common in the environment. Fungi live outdoors in soil and on plants and trees as well as on many indoor surfaces and on human skin. Most fungi are not dangerous, but some types can be harmful to health. Mucormycosis – A rare infection caused by different fungi that belong to a group of fungi called Mucoromycotina. These fungi typically live in soil and in association with decaying organic matter, such as leaves, compost piles, or rotten wood. 1 Symptoms. <P> Pathogenic fungi are fungi that cause disease in humans or other organisms. The study of pathogenic fungi is referred to as medical mycology .. Although fungi are eukaryotic organisms, many pathogenic fungi are also microorganisms. Fungicides, such as ziram are used to protect plants against fungal infections.

what is a disease caused by chromosomal mutations
|
<P> Many mutations have no effect at all. These are called silent mutations. But the mutations we hear about most often are the ones that cause disease. Some well-known inherited genetic disorders include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, phenylketonuria and color-blindness, among many others. All of these disorders are caused by the mutation of a single gene. Most inherited genetic diseases are recessive, which means that a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene to inherit a disorder <P> Each of these mutations can cause a variety of different diseases and conditions. Read on to learn what these mutations are and what disorders they can cause. slide 1 of 8. The causes of chromosomes mutation occur when there is any change in the arrangement or structure of the chromosomes. These mutations occur most often during meiosis during the stage when crossing over occurs. There are several different mutation types that result in chromosomal structure change. This cause of mutation occurs when a piece of one chromosome is transferred to a non-homologous chromosome. The two chromosomes, that are often reciprocal, swap segments with each other. This genetic mutation is often responsible for chronic myelogenous leukemia. <P> Such types of mutations are also called as mosaicism. Here are some diseases which are caused by gene mutations:- 1)Cystic Fibrosis:- Cystic fibrosis is a single gene mutation. This disease is related with secretory glands of the body like sweat and mucus. This is a hereditary disease. <P> A genetic disorder is a disease that is caused by a change, or mutation, in an individual’s DNA sequence. <P> 1 For example, Translocation Down Syndrome is a subtype of Down Syndrome caused by translocation of a large sequence of a chromosome. 2 Subtraction disorders: The process of translocation can also cause large sequences of DNA to be lost from chromosomes. 3 This creates diseases similar to monosomy conditions. Autosomal Trisomy Chromosome Diseases. The 22 non-sex autosome chromosomes (autosomes) can also exhibit disorders, of which the most common is trisomy (having 3 copies rather than a pair). Because these are disorders of the autosomes and not the sex chromosomes, these disorders can occur with males or females. <P> Answers. Best Answer: Many diseases can be caused by mutations, such as: -sickle cell anemia-certain cancers-B thallasemia-cystic fibrosis-basically, any disease can be caused by mutations, and the diseases may be apparent later on in life or right at birth. Source(s): <P> A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes. <P> 1 Genetic mutation— A permanent change in a gene that can be passed on to children. 2 The rare, early-onset familial form of Alzheimer's disease is associated with mutations in genes on chromosomes 21, 14, and 1. 3 Genetic risk factor— A change in a gene that increases a person's risk of developing a disease. If a person inherits from a parent a genetic mutation that causes a certain disease, then he or she will usually get the disease. Sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, and early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease are examples of inherited genetic disorders. In other diseases, a genetic variant may occur

why brass tarnishes
|
<P> Tarnish is a thin layer of corrosion that forms over copper, brass, silver, aluminum, magnesium and other similar metals as their outermost layer undergoes a chemical reaction. <P> Making the world better, one answer at a time. A metal tarnishes due to oxidation. It forms an oxide layer on the metal. eg: copper, when new it is shiny, but after a time outside, it goes green. This is due to oxidation and is called a tarnish. <P> Tip. 1 You can also use lemon and salt, or equal parts of flour, salt and vinegar to make a paste to clean brass. 2 For cleaning with lemon and salt, remove the seeds from a half lemon and coat it with salt. <P> An alloy of copper and zinc -- and sometimes other metals -- brass tarnishes quickly when exposed to air. To prevent the oxidization that leads to tarnish, manufacturers of brass lamps and other brass items often coat the lamp base in clear lacquer. <P> As brass hardware ages, its surface oxidizes, which leaves a layer of tarnish over the hardware. Over time, an additional protective layer, called a patina, forms over the untreated tarnished brass. <P> Tarnish does not always result from the sole effects of oxygen in the air. For example, silver needs hydrogen sulfide to tarnish, although it may tarnish with oxygen over time. It often appears as a dull, gray or black film or coating over metal. Tarnish is a surface phenomenon that is self-limiting, unlike rust. Only the top few layers of the metal react, and the layer of tarnish seals and protects the underlying layers from reacting. <P> Tarnish actually preserves the underlying metal in outdoor use, and in this form is called patina. The formation of patina is necessary in applications such as copper roofing, and outdoor copper, bronze, and brass statues and fittings. Patina is the name given to tarnish on copper based metals. <P> The tarnish, or patina, is caused by a chemical reaction between the various metals in the alloy, and acids or other corrosive materials. Acids in the skin can cause uneven tarnish from over-handling, and over time even dust will have leave an unattractive patina.

<P> Definition of STAR for Kids. 1. : any of the heavenly bodies except planets which are visible at night and look like fixed points of light. 2. : a figure or object with five or more points that represents or suggests a star in the sky. 3. 4. 5. <P> [8] As stars signify the knowledges of good and truth, they signify also the doctrinals of the church, for these are knowledges. The doctrinal respecting faith separate from charity in the last times, is thus described by a star in the Revelation : <P> The signification of stars is the knowledges of good and truth. That stars have this signification in the Word is because they are small luminaries which shine at night, when they give forth into our atmosphere gleams of light, just as knowledges give forth gleam <P> A pentagram (sometimes known as a pentalpha or pentangle or a star pentagon) is the shape of a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes. The word pentagram comes from the Greek word πεντάγραμμον (pentagrammon), from πέντε (pente), five + γραμμή (grammē), line. <P> noun. verb. Star is defined as a bright point of light in the sky or a five-sided drawing that is meant to resemble the points of light in the sky. 1 An example of star is what makes up the Big Dipper constellation. 2 An example of star is a drawing of a five-sided point of light.

what is objectivity
|
<P> A proposition is generally considered objectively true (to have objective truth) when its truth conditions are met and are bias-free; that is, existing without biases caused by, feelings, ideas, etc. of a sentient subject. Objectivity in referring requires a definition of truth. According to metaphysical objectivists, an object may truthfully be said to have this or that attribute, as in the statement This object exists, whereas the statement This object is true or false is meaningless. <P> Objectivity. The terms “objectivity” and “subjectivity,” in their modern usage, generally relate to a perceiving subject (normally a person) and a perceived or unperceived object. The object is something that presumably exists independent of the subject’s perception of it. In other words, the object would be there, as it is, even if no subject perceived it. Hence, objectivity is typically associated with ideas such as reality, truth and reliability. The perceiving subject can either perceive accurately or seem to perceive features of the object that are not in the object. <P> Objectivity is a value. To call a thing objective implies that it has a certain importance to us and that we approve of it. Objectivity comes in degrees. Claims, methods and results can be more or less objective, and, other things being equal, the more objective, the better. Douglas's conception of objectivity emphasizes a prohibition for values to replace or dismiss scientific evidence—she calls this detached objectivity —but it is complemented by various other aspects that relate to a reflective balancing of various perspectives and the procedural, social aspects of science (ch. 6). <P> A second, broader meaning of the term refers to the ability in any context to judge fairly, without bias or external influence; this second meaning of objectivity is sometimes used synonymously with neutrality. Objectivity in referring requires a definition of truth. According to metaphysical objectivists, an object may truthfully be said to have this or that attribute, as in the statement This object exists, whereas the statement This object is true or false is meaningless. <P> This objectivity in journalism helps the audience to make up their own mind about a story and decide what they want to believe. There is a necessity for reporters to present the honesty regarding the facts instead of always reporting information in an honest format (Clark). They also argue that such objectivity is nearly impossible to apply in practice—newspapers inevitably take a point of view in deciding what stories to cover, which to feature on the front page, and what sources they quote. <P> Journalistic objectivity can refer to fairness, disinterestedness, factuality, and nonpartisanship, but most often encompasses all of these qualities. They also argue that such objectivity is nearly impossible to apply in practice—newspapers inevitably take a point of view in deciding what stories to cover, which to feature on the front page, and what sources they quote. <P> Objectivity is a central philosophical concept, related to reality and truth, which has been variously defined by sources. Generally, objectivity means the state or quality of being true even outside of a subject 's individual biases, interpretations, feelings, and imaginings. Objectivity in referring requires a definition of truth. According to metaphysical objectivists, an object may truthfully be said to have this or that attribute, as in the statement This object exists, whereas the statement This object is true or false is meaningless. <P> Scientific objectivity is a characteristic of scientific claims, methods and results. It expresses the idea that the claims, methods and results of science are not, or should not be influenced by particular perspectives, value commitments, community bias or personal interests, to name a few relevant factors. Douglas's conception of objectivity emphasizes a prohibition for values to replace or dismiss scientific evidence—she calls this detached objectivity —but it is complemented by various other aspects that relate to a reflective balancing of various perspectives and the procedural, social aspects of science (ch. 6).

what can cause a sore neck and flu symptoms
|
<P> Swine Flu. Swine flu, or H1N1, is a type of influenza, but the symptoms may be more severe than the typical seasonal flu. Symptoms of swine flu include muscle aches, joint pain and tender lymph nodes, all of which can cause neck and back pain. General flu symptoms such as a sore throat are also present. Individuals with medical conditions, like diabetes, asthma or cancer, can become very ill from swine flu. Cat scratch disease begins with mild flu-like symptoms, such as fever and fatigue. Neck pain occurs due to lymph node swelling. Muscle aches and back pain are part of the overall malaise caused as the body fights the bacteria. <P> Stiff Neck Causes and Symptoms. The most common causes of a stiff neck include, but are not limited to, the following: Muscle Strain or Sprain. By far the most common cause of a stiff neck is a muscle sprain or muscle strain, particularly to the levator scapula muscle. Located at the back and side of the neck, the levator scapula muscle connects the cervical spine (the neck) with the shoulder. Other infections can also cause stiff neck symptoms, such as meningococcal disease, an infection in the cervical spine. Any time a stiff neck is accompanied by a fever, it is advisable to seek immediate medical attention to check for these possibilities. 1 See Osteomyelitis, a Spinal Infection. <P> Both the flu and a cold are viral infections and can cause symptoms such as coughing and sore throat. A cold is a minor viral infection of the nose and throat. The flu, however, is usually more severe, with higher fevers and the addition of aches and pains. <P> Tumors of the throat, tongue, and larynx (voice box) can cause a sore throat with pain radiating to the ear and/or difficulty swallowing. Other important symptoms can include hoarseness, noisy breathing, a lump in the neck, unexplained weight loss, and/or spitting up blood in the saliva or phlegm. <P> Many people with a stiff neck find taking a warm bath to be helpful. Symptoms of a cold combined with a stiff neck can be caused by neck cancer. Persistent headaches and stress can cause the neck to become stiffer. A cold with neck stiffness may be caused by tonsillitis. A heating pad can be used to treat a stiff neck when it's accompanied by a cold. In some cases, cold and flu symptoms in tandem with a stiff neck indicate meningitis or another serious ailment. Colds can cause a sore throat. <P> Fever, neck pain and stiffness can be signs of meningitis-or the flu. There are a number of reasons why you may end up with a stiff neck that ache during a cold or flu infection. <P> Fever and Stiff neck.

<P> Ear infections occur when one of your Eustachian tubes becomes swollen or blocked and fluid builds up in your middle ear. Eustachian tubes are small tubes that run from each ear directly to the back of the throat. The causes of Eustachian tube blockage include: 1 allergies. 2 colds. 3 sinus infections. 4 excess mucus. <P> 1 Otitis media is usually an infection and/or inflammation of the middle ear. 2 Ear infection or inflammation causes fluid buildup in the middle ear. 3 A cold or other respiratory infection can lead to ear infections or inflammation. <P> 1 Otitis media features fever, ear pain, and a feeling of fullness in the ear; as well as fussiness and feeding problems in young children. 2 Otitis media is usually an infection and/or inflammation of the middle ear. 3 Ear infection or inflammation causes fluid buildup in <P> Cats don’t often get ear infections, but when they do, the cause can be complex. If your vet has ruled out ear mites -- the culprit in about half of all feline ear infections -- she’ll have to do some sleuthing to figure out what's causing your cat's outer or middle ear infection. <P> Examining the ear can reveal the cause of symptoms such as an earache, the ear feeling full, or hearing loss. 1 To determine an ear infection, the doctor should use a pneumatic otoscope. 2 This device detects any reduction in eardrum motion. 3 It has a rubber bulb attachment that the doctor presses to push air into the ear. <P> Ear Infections-Cause. Middle ear infections are caused by bacteria and viruses. Swelling from an upper respiratory infection or allergy can block the eustachian tubes, which connect the middle ears to the throat. <P> Canine ear infections are most commonly caused by bacteria or yeast. Ear mites, excessive hair, moisture or wax, foreign bodies, allergies, and hypothyroidism can all be contributing factors in the development of an ear infection.

what is radiata pine
|
<P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Pinus radiata, family Pinaceae, the Monterey pine, insignis pine or radiata pine, is a species of pine native to the Central Coast of California and Mexico (Guadalupe Island and Cedros island). Pinus radiata is a versatile, fast-growing, medium-density softwood, suitable for a wide range of uses. Its silviculture is highly developed, and is built on a firm foundation of over a century of research, observation and practice. <P> Radiata pine is classed as a medium-density softwood. Radiata pine clearwood (wood that is free of defects such as knots, holes or other blemishes) is one of the world's best clearwoods. Due to research and the high quality of New Zealand Radiata pine, it can be used in many applications (see below). <P> Radiata pine's botanical name is Pinus radiata-it is also known as Monterey pine and New Zealand pine. Radiata pine was introduced into New Zealand in the 19th century. Although native to California, USA, it actually grows faster in New Zealand than in its original home. It can reach maturity in around 28 years. <P> 1 a pine tree, Pinus radiata, native to the western USA. but grown in Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere to produce building timber. <P> Radiata pine is native to the central coast of California but is widely planted in Australia and New Zealand. It makes up 28% of Tasmania’s timber plantations and is popular in all types of construction and decorative uses. These include framing, lining, glue laminated beams, veneer and plywood. <P> Color/Appearance: Heartwood is light brown, wide sapwood is a paler yellowish white, and is distinct from the heartwood. Radiata Pine lumber is plantation-grown, and generally has very wide growth rings and is knot-free. Grain/Texture: Straight grained with a medium, even texture. <P> Comments: In the southern hemisphere, where pines are to a large extent absent, Radiata Pine is the most commonly planted and cultivated pine. It is valued on plantations for its fast growth and utility as both a source of construction lumber as well as wood pulp in the paper industry.

what is a hida scan used to diagnose
|
<P> A gallbladder scan is a nuclear scanning test that is done to check gallbladder function. The scan can find blockage in the tubes (bile ducts) that lead from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine (duodenum). During a gallbladder scan, a radioactive tracer substance is injected into a vein in the arm. The liver removes the tracer from the bloodstream and adds it to the bile that normally flows through the bile ducts to the gallbladder. <P> Definition. A HIDA scan is an imaging test. It helps to diagnose problems of the gallbladder and liver. Bile is a fluid that is made in the liver. It is stored in the bile duct. This fluid helps your body digest certain foods. If there is a problem with the production or flow of bile, a HIDA scan may find the problem. <P> Cholescintigraphy is a test done by nuclear medicine physicians to diagnose obstruction of the bile ducts (for example, by a gallstone or a tumor), disease of the gallbladder, and bile leaks. <P> A gallbladder scan is also called a hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scan (HIDA scan), gallbladder radionuclide scan, hepatobiliary scan, cholescintigraphy, or hepatobiliary scintigraphy. A gallbladder scan is only one method used to diagnose conditions of the gallbladder, liver and bile ducts. Discuss all of your testing options with your doctor to understand which options are right for you. 1 Previous. 2 1. <P> Other related procedures that may be used to diagnose problems of the gallbladder include abdominal X-rays, computed tomography (CT scan) of the liver and biliary tract, abdominal ultrasound, cholecystography, or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) . A gallbladder scan is a specialized radiology procedure used to assess the function and structure of the gallbladder. This procedure may also be referred to as a liver-biliary scan because the liver often is examined as well due to its proximity and close functional relationship to the gallbladder. <P> HIDA Scan. HIDA scan is an imaging procedure that helps your doctor track the production and flow of bile from your liver to your small intestine. Bile is a fluid produced by your liver that helps your digestive system break down fats in the foods you eat. A HIDA scan, which stands for hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scan, creates pictures of your liver, gallbladder, biliary tract and small intestine. A HIDA scan can also be called cholescintigraphy, hepatobiliary scintigraphy or hepatobiliary scan. A HIDA scan is a type of imaging study called a nuclear medicine scan. <P> HIDA scan test or cholescintigraphy is one of the tests used to diagnose gallbladder problems or obstructions in the bile duct. The HIDA scan exam may be advised for a patient when gallbladder disease is suspected but cannot be detected by the usual ultrasound procedure. Basically, the HIDA scan test is a scan that uses a radioactive dye, namely, hydroxy imino diaetic acid (HIDA), to trace the path of the bile produced by the liver. <P> Definition. A HIDA scan is an imaging test. It helps to diagnose problems of the gallbladder and liver. Bile is a fluid that is made in the liver. It is stored in the bile duct. This fluid helps your body digest certain foods. If there is a problem with the production or flow of bile, a HIDA scan may find the problem <P> A cholescintigraphy is a test that diagnoses obstructed bile ducts. Cholescintigraphy is most commonly used to diagnose problems with the gallbladder when other more commonly-performed tests, particularly ultrasonography, are normal.

what are the products of digestion
|
<P> The term mechanical digestion refers to the physical breakdown of large pieces of food into smaller pieces which can subsequently be accessed by digestive enzymes. In chemical digestion, enzymes break down food into the small molecules the body can use. Digestion begins in the mouth with the secretion of saliva and its digestive enzymes. Food is formed into a bolus by the mechanical mastication and swallowed into the esophagus from where it enters the stomach through the action of peristalsis. <P> The majority of starch is also digested in the duodenum and jejunum, the first and second segments of the small intestine. The monosaccharide products of carbohydrate digestion, glucose and galactose, are actively absorbed through the intestine by a process that requires energy. <P> Digestion is the breakdown of food into smaller particles or individual nutrients. It is accomplished through six basic processes, with the help of several body fluids—particularly digestive juices that are made up of compounds such as saliva, mucus, enzymes, hydrochloric acid, bicarbonate, and bile. About 5 percent of undigested food products are broken down in the ileum. This is why some people can have a small part of their intestine removed and still seem to digest most foods with little problem. Digestion of food that enters the small intestine is usually complete after three to ten hours. <P> Anaerobic digestion is a collection of processes by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. The process is used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to produce fuels. <P> Most of the end-products of digestion, along with vitamins, minerals, and water, are absorbed in the small intestinal lumen by four mechanisms for absorption: (1) active transport, (2) passive diffusion, (3) endocytosis, and (4) facilitative diffusion. Active transport requires energy. About 5 percent of undigested food products are broken down in the ileum. This is why some people can have a small part of their intestine removed and still seem to digest most foods with little problem. Digestion of food that enters the small intestine is usually complete after three to ten hours. <P> The small intestine is 5–6m in length, and most of the chemical digestion occurs within the first metre. Once digested into smaller molecules, absorption can take place. Millions of tiny finger-like structures called villi project inwards from the lining of the small intestine. These structures greatly increase the surface area of contact that the products of digestion have with the small intestine, allowing for their rapid absorption into the bloodstream. <P> Image: The large intestine. The human digestive system consists of a long muscular tube and several accessory organs such as the salivary glands, pancreas and gall bladder. It is responsible for food ingestion and digestion, absorption of digestion products and the elimination of undigested materials. Millions of tiny finger-like structures called villi project inwards from the lining of the small intestine. These structures greatly increase the surface area of contact that the products of digestion have with the small intestine, allowing for their rapid absorption into the bloodstream. <P> Most digestion occurs in the upper portion of the small intestine, called the duodenum. Below the duodenum is the jejunum, and then there is the last segment, called the ileum. About 5 percent of undigested food products are broken down in the ileum. This is why some people can have a small part of their intestine removed and still seem to digest most foods with little problem. Digestion of food that enters the small intestine is usually complete after three to ten hours. <P> Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream. Digestion is a form of catabolism that is often divided into two processes based on how food is broken down: mechanical and chemical digestion. Digestion begins in the mouth with the secretion of saliva and its digestive enzymes. Food is formed into a bolus by the mechanical mastication and swallowed into the esophagus from where it enters the stomach through the action of peristalsis.

genetic causes of blindness
|
<P> Inherited Eye Disease. Genetic factors play a role in many kinds of eye disease, including those diseases that are the leading cause of blindness among infants, children and adults. Genetics also play a role in vision problems that occur in otherwise healthy eyes. Genetic ophthalmologic researchers now have evidence that the most common vision problems among children and adults are genetically determined. <P> Genetic basis of Color Blindness. Color vision deficiency or color blindness is caused when the cone cells are unable to distinguish among the different light wavelengths and therefore misfire, causing the brain to misinterpret certain colors. Any mutations that affect the above genes causes the color vision deficiency. For example, a mutation affecting the first two genes would cause a defect in detecting the green and red color of the light spectrum. This is one of the most prevalent forms of color blindness. slide 4 of 4 <P> Color vision deficiency (sometimes called color blindness) represents a group of conditions that affect the perception of color. Red-green color vision defects are the most common form of color vision deficiency. Affected individuals have trouble distinguishing between some shades of red, yellow, and green. Red-green color vision defects and blue cone monochromacy are inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. The OPN1LW and OPN1MW genes are located on the X chromosome, which is one of the two sex chromosomes. In males (who have only one X chromosome), one genetic change in each cell is sufficient to cause the conditio <P> Diseases & Conditions.

Genetics also play a role in vision problems that occur in otherwise healthy eyes. Genetic ophthalmologic researchers now have evidence that the most common vision problems among children and adults are genetically determined. <P> Color blindness is a genetic condition caused by a difference in how one or more of the light-sensitive cells found in the retina of the eye respond to certain colors. <P> When Leber congenital amaurosis is caused by mutations in the CRX or IMPDH1 genes, the disorder has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Autosomal dominant inheritance means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. In about 30 percent of all people with Leber congenital amaurosis, the cause of the disorder is unknown. Read more about the CEP290, CRB1, GUCY2D, and RPE65 genes. See a list of genes associated with Leber congenital amaurosis. <P> Color blindness, or color vision deficiency, is the inability or decreased ability to see color, or perceive color differences, under normal lighting conditions. Color blindness affects a significant percentage of the population. There is no actual blindness but there is a deficiency of color vision. The most usual cause is a fault in the development of one or more sets of retinal cones that perceive color in light and transmit that information to the optic nerve. This type of color blindness is usually a sex-linked condition. <P> Red-green color vision defects are the most common form of color vision deficiency. This condition affects males much more often than females. Among populations with Northern European ancestry, it occurs in about 1 in 12 males and 1 in 200 females. Red-green color vision defects and blue cone monochromacy are inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern.

why do we use orthographic projection
|
<P> It is a form of parallel projection, where all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface. It is further divided into multiview orthographic projections and axonometric projections. With multiview orthographic projections, up to six pictures of an object are produced, with each projection plane parallel to one of the coordinate axes of the object. The views are positioned relative to each other according to either of two schemes: first-angle or third-angle projection. <P> The orthographic projection has been known since antiquity, with its cartographic uses being well documented. Hipparchus used the projection in the 2nd century BC to determine the places of star-rise and star-set. With multiview orthographic projections, up to six pictures of an object are produced, with each projection plane parallel to one of the coordinate axes of the object. The views are positioned relative to each other according to either of two schemes: first-angle or third-angle projection. <P> So far we have only covered one method of Orthographic Projection, this is known as First Angle Projection. First Angle Projection is used in Europe and most of the world. However America and Australia use a method known as Third Angle Projection. In First Angle Projection we place our object in the First Quadrant (see above figure). This means that the Vertical Plane is behind the object and the Horizontal Plane is underneath the object. In Third Angle Projection the Object is placed in the Third Quadrant <P> An orthographic Projection is often called a blueprint. In Technology Class we will not be concerned with a number of the rules that would govern a drawing for a detailed drafting class, but we will endevor to have the students recognize, prepare and be able to read a simple mechanical drawing. <P> This means we make the object become 2D. The difference between Orthographic Projection and any other drawing method is that we use several 2D views of the object instead of a single view. Orthographic Projection gives us a very clear method of communicating ideas and objects. It is a method that every engineer in the world recognizes. Because of this we can reproduce any object drawn Orthographically. All of these problems can be overcome using Orthographic Projection. An engineer in Germany can have a plastic bottle made in Japan, exactly as he wants it, without any problem if he sends an Orthographic drawing of the bottle. <P> An animated Introduction Orthographic Projection Vs Perspective. Compared to help us better understand why we use Ortho in Engineering & CAD. In Engineering we need our information at an object level, not at an observer level. Orthographic covers the object level, and perspective showcases from the observer level. <P> For the orthographic projection as a map projection, see Orthographic projection in cartography. For mathematical discussion in terms of linear algebra, see Projection (linear algebra) . Orthographic projection (or orthogonal projection) is a means of representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions. With multiview orthographic projections, up to six pictures of an object are produced, with each projection plane parallel to one of the coordinate axes of the object. The views are positioned relative to each other according to either of two schemes: first-angle or third-angle projection.

why is critical thinking important for business
|
<P> Everyone is incredibly busy, and often we believe that we don't have the time to really think through an issue, said Jen Lawrence, co-author of Engage the Fox: A Business Fable About Thinking Critically and Motivating Your Team (Greenleaf Book Group Press, 2014). <P> §1. Critical thinking is a domain-general thinking skill. The ability to think clearly and rationally is important whatever we choose to do. If you work in education, research, finance, management or the legal profession, then critical thinking is obviously important. But critical thinking skills are not restricted to a particular subject area. <P> Critical thinking is a meta-skill-it governs a person's facility to process information in a logical manner. A person with critical thinking skills is capable of upgrading his own knowledge and can easily engage in independent self-learning. <P> What all of this means is that critical thinking skills are at a premium. The businesses that succeed now will be the ones that can best find or create managers and executives with the ability to “think outside the box” and see new possibilities for the future. The importance of abandoning assumptions. <P> Critical thinking gives you an intellectual approach that enables you to select from the available information that which is relevant to you and which you most agree with (e.g. what is the most up-to-date information, who is the most respected person in that area, what is the most credible source). In the workplace. <P> Therefore, critical thinking is focused on testing the validity of assumptions or beliefs by the application of a set of cognitive skills such as ‘interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation and self-regulation’ (Facione, 2010: 5). <P> Critical thinking is a process which leads to reasoned conclusions, through the application of a set of skills. It can be applied and used in different contexts in order to test the validity of several hypotheses presented as solutions of a problem or an issue. <P> Lawrence noted that critical thinking helps employees gather all of the information required to analyze a situation, generate optimal solutions to a problem and get feedback from all the people involved in the situation. All of these steps, she said, contribute to better business solutions overall.

how to draw crocus
|
<P> It is an excellent plan to hide the model from sight, and see how much, or how little, has penetrated our brain.Afterward try drawing some simple flowers: a snowdrop in a small vase; a crocus—bulb, stem, and flower; a daffodil with a few broad spear-like leaves. The lemon and the tangerine are excellent subjects for this test, because you have contrast of both shape and colour. If you sketch them first with your brush, choose a tint of which they are both composed—say, a very pale yellow. Draw first the lemon, the large, elongated, egg-shaped variety. <P> One right here, one on this side, and on on the very top. And once you have that, go back to the center circle and draw a few curved lines coming from that circle on to each petal. Then we'll go in and draw some yellow for the pistils. And then green for the stem curving down. And this is an overhead view of the flower. And then you're done. <P> Put some of these objects on a table, at a little distance from your desk, and sketch them two by two, and side by side. You could draw some with your pencil, and some with your brush. The lemon and the tangerine are excellent subjects for this test, because you have contrast of both shape and colour. If you sketch them first with your brush, choose a tint of which they are both composed—say, a very pale yellow.

For other uses, see Crocus (disambiguation) . Crocus (English plural: crocuses or croci) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family comprising 90 species of perennials growing from corms. Bosschaert, working from a preparatory drawing to paint his composed piece spanning the whole of spring, exaggerated the crocus so that it passes for a tulip, but its narrow, grass-like leaves give it away. Saffron gatherers appear in Minoan frescos on the island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea. <P> The name of the genus is derived from the Greek κρόκος (krokos). This, in turn, is probably a loan word from a Semitic language, related to Hebrew כרכום karkōm, Aramaic ܟܟܘܪܟܟܡܡܐ kurkama, and Arabic كركم kurkum, which mean saffron (Crocus sativus), saffron yellow or turmeric (see Curcuma).

what is genetic polymorphism in humans
|
<P> Single nucleotide polymorphisms, frequently called SNPs (pronounced “snips”), are the most common type of genetic variation among people. Each SNP represents a difference in a single DNA building block, called a nucleotide. For example, a SNP may replace the nucleotide cytosine (C) with the nucleotide thymine (T) in a certain stretch of DNA. SNPs occur normally throughout a person’s DNA. <P> Polymorphism is common in nature; it is related to biodiversity, genetic variation and adaptation; it usually functions to retain variety of form in a population living in a varied environment. The most common example is sexual dimorphism, which occurs in many organisms. All the common blood types, such as the ABO blood group system, are genetic polymorphisms. Here we see a system where there are more than two morphs: the phenotypes A, B, AB and O are present in all human populations, but vary in proportion in different parts of the world. <P> 1 The later definition by Cavalli-Sforza & Bodmer (1971) is currently used: Genetic polymorphism is the occurrence in the same population of two or more alleles at one locus, each with appreciable frequency, where the minimum frequency is typically taken as 1%. All the common blood types, such as the ABO blood group system, are genetic polymorphisms. Here we see a system where there are more than two morphs: the phenotypes A, B, AB and O are present in all human populations, but vary in proportion in different parts of the world. <P> An example of a botanical genetic polymorphism is heterostyly, in which flowers occur in different forms with different arrangements of the pistils and the stamens. The system is called heteromorphic self-incompatibility, and the general 'strategy' of stamens separated from pistils is known as herkogamy. All the common blood types, such as the ABO blood group system, are genetic polymorphisms. Here we see a system where there are more than two morphs: the phenotypes A, B, AB and O are present in all human populations, but vary in proportion in different parts of the world. <P> Single-nucleotide polymorphisms may fall within coding sequences of genes, non-coding regions of genes, or in the intergenic regions (regions between genes). SNPs within a coding sequence do not necessarily change the amino acid sequence of the protein that is produced, due to degeneracy of the genetic code. This is simply the lesser of the two allele frequencies for single-nucleotide polymorphisms. There are variations between human populations, so a SNP allele that is common in one geographical or ethnic group may be much rarer in another. <P> Polymorphism is a change in DNA sequence, which is common in a population. In other words, there needs to be more than one phenotype for a particular character in a population for it to be called polymorphism. by HAW. Mutation vs Polymorphism. In eukaryotes, DNA is found in chromosomes in the nucleus. Chromosomes are made of a single molecule of DNA and histone proteins. Chromosomes are linear, and DNA in them is double stranded. There are many chromosomes in a single nucleus. <P> Polymorphism involves one of two or more variants of a particular DNA sequence. The most common type of polymorphism involves variation at a single base pair. Polymorphisms can also be much larger in size and involve long stretches of DNA. Natural variations in a gene, DNA sequence, or chromosome that have no adverse effects on the individual and occur with fairly high frequency in the general population. <P> Genetic polymorphism promotes diversity within a population. It often persists over many generations because no single form has an overall advantage or disadvantage over the others regarding natural selection. A common example is the different allelic forms that give rise to different blood types in humans. Genetic polymorphism. Definition. noun. (1) The existence together of many forms of DNA sequences at a locus within the population. (2) A discontinuous genetic variation that results in different forms or types of individuals among the members of a single species. <P> 1 Genetic polymorphism is the simultaneous occurrence in the same locality of two or more discontinuous forms in such proportions that the rarest of them cannot be maintained just by recurrent mutation or immigration, originally defined by Ford (1940). All the common blood types, such as the ABO blood group system, are genetic polymorphisms. Here we see a system where there are more than two morphs: the phenotypes A, B, AB and O are present in all human populations, but vary in proportion in different parts of the world.

what was the first battery used for
|
<P> 1 The metallic conducting arc was used to carry the electricity over a greater distance. 2 Alessandro Volta's voltaic pile was the first wet cell battery that produced a reliable, steady current of electricity. 3 1836 Daniell Cell-The Voltaic Pile could not deliver an electrical current for a long period of time. 1 1881 - J.A. 2 Thiebaut patented the first battery with both the negative electrode and porous pot placed in a zinc cup. 3 1881 - Carl Gassner invented the first commercially successful dry cell battery (zinc-carbon cell). 4 1899 - Waldmar Jungner invented the first nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery. <P> This 'battery' pre-dates the official development of the battery by Alessandro Volta in 1800 by two millennia. The term 'battery' was coined by Benjamin Franklin to describe several Leyden jars connected in series, although 'battery' is used today to refer to a single voltaic cell. This watch however was a mechanical watch, which is different from … the most common (and more accurate) type of battery powered watch that is used today which is called a 'quartz' watch. The first company to successfully develop, produce, and sell a quartz watch commercially was Seiko on December 25th, 1969. <P> The first dry cell battery was manufactured in 1888 under the auspices of a Dr. Gassner. It was to become the prototype for the dry cell battery industry. Gassner used zinc to hold all of the components and kept zinc for the negative electrode as well. He had just constructed the first battery cell with the first electrolyte. The copper and zinc rods were the electrodes, positive and negative. The acid started to eat away the zinc rod, while the copper rod captured the energy released from the action. <P> It is a connected bunch (or “battery”) of electro-chemical devices. The Italian inventor Alessandro Volta invented the first battery in 1799. Volta’s battery was called a pile —a messy stack of disks made of two types of metal. The discs were separated from each other by pieces of cloth soaked in salt water. <P> Alesandro Volta invented the first battery. The first actual battery was invented by a man in Italy named Alessandro Volta in 1800. Volta was a physicist who was born in F … ebruary of 1745 and died on March 5, 1827. 4 people found this useful. This watch however was a mechanical watch, which is different from … the most common (and more accurate) type of battery powered watch that is used today which is called a 'quartz' watch. The first company to successfully develop, produce, and sell a quartz watch commercially was Seiko on December 25th, 1969. <P> 1 This battery, which produced about 1.1 volts, was used to power objects such as telegraphs, telephones, and doorbells, remained popular in homes for over 100 years. 2 1839 Fuel Cell-William Robert Grove developed the first fuel cell, which produced electrical by combining hydrogen and oxygen. 1 1881 - J.A. 2 Thiebaut patented the first battery with both the negative electrode and porous pot placed in a zinc cup. 3 1881 - Carl Gassner invented the first commercially successful dry cell battery (zinc-carbon cell). 4 1899 - Waldmar Jungner invented the first nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery. <P> This first battery for operating a cell phone was actually a car’s battery and was hooked directly to the phone instead of being a separate battery like cell phone batteries are today. Most early cell phones were only able to be used in a vehicle because they needed such large amounts of battery power. By the time the first prototype of the modern cell phone appeared in 1973, the phone was capable of being used independently and worked in multiple calling regions. Cell phones were being tested in trials in Chicago, Washington D.C. and Baltimore by 1977 and in Japan by 1979. <P> That is, not until the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta came along. In 1800, Volta created the first modern day battery when he built what came to be known as his voltaic pile. The pile was made of up of zinc and copper plates with vinegar-or brine-dampened pieces of leather or pasteboard placed in between each plate. Some of the first primitive types of batteries can be traced all the way back to the Parthians around 250 B.C. when the they lived in the area of modern day Baghdad [source: Buchmann ]. <P> The first battery powered watch was publicly announced on January 3rd, 1957 by Hamilton, an American watch. This watch however was a mechanical watch, which is different from … the most common (and more accurate) type of battery powered watch that is used today which is called a 'quartz' watch. The first company to successfully develop, produce, and sell a quartz watch commercially was Seiko on December 25th, 1969. The first actual battery was invented by a man in Italy named Alessandro Volta in 1800. Volta was a physicist who was born in F … ebruary of 1745 and died on March 5, 1827. <P> These Baghdad batteries may have been used for religious rituals, medicinal purposes, or even electroplating. In 1799, Italian physicist Alessandro Volta created the first battery by stacking alternating layers of zinc, brine-soaked pasteboard or cloth, and silver. This arrangement, called a voltaic pile, was not the first device to create electricity, but it was the first to emit a steady, lasting current.

what are cartilaginous joints
|
<P> Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage (fibrocartilage or hyaline). Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. Cartilaginous joints also forms the growth regions of immature long bones and the intervertebral discs of the spinal column <P> 1.Primary cartilaginous joints(= synchondroses): A plate of hyaline cartilage connects the bones at the joint. Only hyaline cartilage is involved, and the joints are immoveable. An example is the cartilaginous epiphyseal plate which separates the epiphysis from the diaphysis in long bones during growth. 2.Secondary cartilaginous joints(= symphyses). It involves both hyaline and fibrocartilage. The articular surface of each bone is covered with a thin layer of hyaline cartilage, and fibrocartilage unites these two layers. <P> 1 Also known as primary cartilaginous joints, they only involve hyaline cartilage. 2 The joints can be immovable (synarthroses) or slightly movable (amphiarthroses). 3 The joint between the diaphysis and epiphysis of a growing long bone is a synchondrosis. 4 This is interesting in that it is a temporary joint with no movement. <P> A cartilaginous joint is a joint where cartilage connects the bones. Cartilage is a tough but flexible connective tissue that comes in three types: hyaline (also called articular), elastic and fibrocartilage. <P> Define cartilaginous joints : Cartilaginous joints are connections between bones that are held tightly together by cartilage-specifically either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage. The definition of a cartilaginous joint is clearer with information about how cartilaginous joints compare with the other types of joints. Cartilaginous joints is 1 of the. : 1 Fibrous joints-held together by fibrous connective tissue. 2 Cartilaginous joints-held together by cartilage tissue. 3 Synovial joints-include a synovial cavity surrounded by a fibrous capsule. <P> Cartilaginous joints: In this type of joints there is a piece of cartilage between the bones which hold the bones together and makes a joint. Cartilaginous joints are further divided into the following subtypes; 1 Primary cartilaginous joints: (synchondrosis): In this subtype the bones are united by a plate of hyaline cartilage so that the joint is immovable and strong. <P> bicondylar joint a condylar joint with a meniscus between the articular surfaces, as in the temporomandibular joint. cartilaginous joint a type of synarthrosis in which the bones are united by cartilage, providing slight flexible movement; the two types are synchondrosis and symphysis. composite joint (compound joint) a type of synovial joint in which more than two bones are involved. cartilaginous. consisting of, or of the nature of, cartilage. cartilaginous joint. the bones of the joint are joined together by fibrocartilage or hyaline <P> Cartilaginous joints which have layers of hyaline cartilage between the adjoining bones are known as sychondroses joints. Many of these joints are only temporary and are typically found in the growth areas on bodies which have not yet fully developed. Joints which allow limited movement or respond to twisting and compression by permitting “give” to prevent injury are typically cartilaginous joints. These joints are separately classified in two individual groups, the symphyses and the sychondroses.

how to get my credit score up fast
|
<P> 30% of your score is credit utilization: how much of your credit limit is used up by your balance? On each revolving account, you need to keep your balance below 30% of your credit limit, or you will hurt your FICO score. For example, if you have a $200 credit limit, you must not have a balance higher than $60, which is 30% of $200. Every time you apply for credit, the lender makes a hard inquiry into your credit history, and this type of inquiry hurts your FICO score a few points. You get all these hard inquiry points back over the course of a year after the hard inquiry, and the inquiry falls off your reports at the 2-year mark. <P> Increase your credit limits. The first simple and fast tip to raising your credit score is by increasing your credit card limits. If your balance is $4900 on your $5000 limit card, your balance to credit ratio is nearly 100%. By raising your limit to say $8000, your score will jump because you now don’t look as stretched on your report. First off, make sure you get your current credit score. Check my page for a current promotional code from MyFico. They have a free trial and they are the only company I trust to get real, legit FICO scores. Also if you need any other legal documents use a Legal Zoom Promo Code and save on your legal documents. <P> 1 Keep balances low on credit cards and other revolving credit. 2 High outstanding debt can affect a credit score. 3 Pay off debt rather than moving it around. 4 The most effective way to improve your credit scores in this area is by paying down your revolving (credit cards) debt. Amounts Owed Tips. This category contributes 30% to a FICO Score's calculation and can be easier to clean up than payment history, but that requires financial discipline and understanding the tips below. 1 <P> The Second Step. Next, find the items on your credit report that are pulling your credit scores down and put them into a list, organize the list with the oldest accounts at the top of the list. You are going to be using this list to dispute these negative accounts with the credit bureaus through dispute letters. The first step in making your credit score go up is to determine the reason why it is bad in the first place. Generally it will be from late payments, maxed out credit cards ,excessive credit inquiries and other irresponsible behavior. The best way to accomplish this is to buy and examine a copy of your credit report. <P> 1 High outstanding debt can affect a credit score. 2 Pay off debt rather than moving it around. 3 The most effective way to improve your credit scores in this area is by paying down your revolving (credit cards) debt. 4 In fact, owing the same amount but having fewer open accounts may lower your scores. Amounts Owed Tips. This category contributes 30% to a FICO Score's calculation and can be easier to clean up than payment history, but that requires financial discipline and understanding the tips below. 1 Keep balances low on credit cards and other revolving credit. 2 <P> But if you’re trying to boost your credit score quickly, you should start by paying off the credit card with the lowest available credit limit. For example, say you have two credit cards. One credit card has a $1,600 limit with a $400 balance, which means 25 percent of your available credit is being used. <P> The fastest way to raise your credit score is by reducing your balance to credit ratio. For example, if you have a $5000 limit credit card, but owe $4900, that will kill your score. Reducing that balance down to 0 or even $1000, would likely cause a jump of 40+ points or more in your score. First off, make sure you get your current credit score. Check my page for a current promotional code from MyFico. They have a free trial and they are the only company I trust to get real, legit FICO scores. Also if you need any other legal documents use a Legal Zoom Promo Code and save on your legal documents. <P> Get a responsible loan. If you know you'll be able to pay it off, a small personal loan can increase your credit score. About 10% of your FICO credit score is what's called account mix, or basically how many different loans and credit accounts you have. 1 Ideal credit utilization rates are under 10%. 2 If you can get your total debt to under 10% of your available credit, you've done very well. 3 This should be your target debt level, even if it might take you a while to get there. 4 In general, keeping your utilization under 30% is healthy. <P> The number one recommended way to quickly boost a score is to check your credit report and make corrections when applicable. Both MyFICO and Forbes recommend this as a first step to a quick fix. Credit reports are known to have errors, and many errors can cost you tens or even hundreds of points on your score. Make Substantial Debt Payments. If you have some free cash, making sizable payments on debt accounts can boost your score significantly. In fact, behind disputing errors, paying down credit card balances is the fastest track to a score spike. <P> 1 Check Your Credit Report Credit score repair begins with your credit report. 2 If you haven't already, request a free copy of your credit report and check it for errors. 3 Your credit report contains the data used to calculate your score and it may contain errors.

what do scientists think occurs for an autoimmune disease
|
<P> And many symptoms of autoimmune diseases are the same for other types of health problems too. This makes it hard for doctors to find out if you really have an autoimmune disease, and which one it might be. But if you are having symptoms that bother you, it's important to find the cause. <P> A disease in which the immune system attacks the body is called an autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune disorders comprise at least 80 different conditions that together affect 5 to 9 percent of Americans, or between 14 million and 22 million people. <P> A Dr. Anthony Komaroff, MD, Internal Medicine, answered. Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system attacks its own body's cells. This happens when components of the adaptive immune response, namely T and B cells, fail to distinguish between self and nonself.. That is, they attack the body's own tissues in the same way they would an invading germ. <P> 1 An autoimmune disorder that causes the body's immune system to attack the bone joints. 2 Reiter's syndrome. 3 An autoimmune disease affecting various body systems in response to a bacterial infection and the body's confusion over the HLA-B27 marker. <P> Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks healthy cells in the body. It seems counter-productive for our immune system to attack our own bodies, but scientists think that there is a naturally occurring level of autoimmunity that is going on all the time in humans and other higher animals. When this autoimmunity starts to harm the body it is called an autoimmune disease. <P> 1 Rheumatoid arthritis. 2 An autoimmune disorder that causes the body's immune system to attack the bone joints. 3 Reiter's syndrome. 4 An autoimmune disease affecting various body systems in response to a bacterial infection and the body's confusion over the HLA-B27 marker. <P> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease that causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints.

If the vehicle fails, this will also be recorded, and you will need to have repairs made to the vehicle to bring it up to MOT standards. <P> An MOT test is required once your vehicle reaches 3 years old. To find the exact date you should check your vehicle registration document, also known as a V5C. For example if the date of first registration is shown as 1st March 2013 then your first MOT is due by the 1st March 2016 at the latest.

If your vehicle is more than three years old you will have to get it tested every year to show that it meets the minimum road safety and environmental standards. You can check the MOT status of a vehicle online if you have a legitimate interest in the vehicle-you must be the owner, registered keeper or be considering buying the vehicle.

Pigeon Pea suits a sub-tropical to tropical climate and thrives in a warm position with adequate water. It prefers warmer temperatures and is not frost tolerant. <P> Pigeon Pea tolerates various soil types, low nutrient levels and will grow well in a soil pH from 5 to 8. If you don’t want the seeds germinating throughout your garden areas, then remove all seed pods before pruning and using on the soil. You can also plant Pigeon Pea as a wind break or prune to form a hedge. Pigeon Pea is a perennial, evergreen shrub, growing to over 3m tall.

The pigeon pea has an average life span of five years and grows best in US Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 to 15. Planting should take place in late spring, after the last frost or early summer. Plant one pigeon pea seed into the hole. Cover the seed with soil. Avoid putting too much soil on top of the seed; use just enough to conceal the seed. <P> Pigeon peas will grow just about anywhere. They can cope with poor soils and little water. Of course they will grow faster, bigger, better, and live longer if they have plenty of water and nutrients.

what percentage of your salary should you use on rent, food and entertainment
|
<P> Allot between 12 and 25 percent of your income to personal items and activities as well as groceries. This includes entertainment and beauty services such as hair salons and barber shops. Two to 10 percent can be expected for personal expenses while the remaining 10 to 15 percent can be spent on food. Percentage guidelines help with money management. Developing percentage guidelines for your family income is vital to a family budget. This allows you to spend what is needed without going over the allotted amount that you have set for each category of expenses. <P> Rent to Income. Landlords typically require that your annual income is at least 40 times the monthly rent. For example, if you and your roommate are looking at a $3,000 per month apartment, the landlord would require a combined income of $3,000 × 40, which equals $120,000. <P> If that new apartment rents for less than 30 percent of your income, you should be in good financial shape. The cost of paying for a place to live is usually the largest single monthly expense for any household, whether you own or rent your home. For example, suppose you earn $50,000 a year, or $4,167 a month. If 35 percent of your income goes to rent, you'll be paying about $1,458 a month. But if only 25 percent goes to rent, the monthly payment is about $1,042 -- a savings of more than $400 a month <P> Percentage spent on clothing. Experts recommend spending no more than 8 percent of your income on clothing monthly. Percentage spent on groceries and dining out: Experts say you should aim for 18 percent of your income on total food expenses. Percentage spent on entertainment: Experts say you should aim for 5 percent of your income on total recreational expenses. <P> The Percentages. Most financial experts suggest that no more than 30 percent of your income should be spent on rent. That percentage is not universally recognized, however. Some experts put the ratio at 35 percent, while others say it should be 25 percent to 30 percent. For example, suppose you earn $50,000 a year, or $4,167 a month. If 35 percent of your income goes to rent, you'll be paying about $1,458 a month. But if only 25 percent goes to rent, the monthly payment is about $1,042 -- a savings of more than $400 a month <P> How Much Rent is Affordable? You might have also heard that you should spend no more than 30% of your annual income on rent. Spending 30% of your yearly income on rent is widely believed to be an affordable amount, leaving enough money for all your other expenses. Landlords typically require that your annual income is at least 40 times the monthly rent. For example, if you and your roommate are looking at a $3,000 per month apartment, the landlord would require a combined income of $3,000 × 40, which equals $120,000. <P> Once you buy, he says to make your housing costs no more than 25% of your take-home pay. Presumably, he would recommend an even smaller percentage for rent. Answers.com, always a good source for popular beliefs, gives 25% of gross income as the maximum rent. Move.com suggests a range of 25% to 30% . The photo alone makes it worth the click. The post muses, without resolution, on the eternal question of how high is too high. Many personal finance experts say you should spend no more than 35% of your gross income on rent (not including renter’s insurance) whether you live in a high-or low-cost area. <P> Rent or Mortgage. You should expect to spend between 25 to 30 percent of your net income each month on rent or mortgage. Landlords and property managers typically require you to make at least 2.5 to three times the rent to qualify as a tenant. If your current home takes more than 30 percent of your income, it is time to add to your income, get a roommate or find a cheaper place to live. Percentage guidelines help with money management. Developing percentage guidelines for your family income is vital to a family budget. This allows you to spend what is needed without going over the allotted amount that you have set for each category of expenses.

what are the roles of a chief executive officer

There are various other titles for the position of CEO including president and executive or managing director.

what is payload capacity
|
<P> Towing capacity and payload are two different creatures. Lets start with payload. Payload is the difference between empty weight of your vehicle and the gross weight (the maximum weight it will safely haul. Also called GVWR or gross vehicle weight rating). Gross wieght minus empty weight = payload. Towing capacity is what the vehicle will safely pull and be able to safely stop with without the trailer trying to push you through an intersection with the brakes locked on the towing vehicle. I hope that this helped you <P> Payload refers to the amount of cargo weight a vehicle can safely carry. For example: An over the road semi can gross a max weight of 80,000 lbs. This is max weight including the truck, the trailer, the fuel and the driver. The payload capacity refers to the actual weight of the cargo which could be less than half of the vehicles gross weight. There may be room for more cargo in the trailer, but this would cause an overweight situation that could be unsafe. The same is true with the Tacoma <P> For instance, they often calculate this number by supposing that nothing is in the truck except for a 150-pound (68-kg) driver. In realistic situations, where the driver may be heavier, other passengers are in the cab and extra cargo is in the bed, the truck's actual towing capacity is lower [source: Edmunds ]. It turns out that not only do half-ton pickups weigh and carry more than a half ton, they can also tow more than a half ton. Although payload capacity usually refers to how much weight a truck can carry in both passengers and cargo in the cab and bed, towing capacity refers to how much the truck can safely tow. Although different, these two parameters can affect each other. For instance, the payload can include the tongue weight, which is the portion of trailer weight -- usually about 15 percent -- that bears down on the truck's hitch. Manufacturers often embellish the maximum towing capacity of a truck in advertisements <P> Payload is the carrying capacity of an aircraft or launch vehicle, usually measured in terms of weight. Depending on the nature of the flight or mission, the payload of a vehicle may include cargo, passengers, flight crew, munitions, scientific instruments or experiments, or other equipment. Extra fuel, when optionally carried, is also considered part of the payload. When the weight of the payload and fuel are considered together, it is known as the useful load fraction . In spacecraft, mass fraction is normally used, which is the ratio of payload to everything else, including the rocket structure. <P> Best Answer: Payload is how much weight you can put into and on a vehicle. Towing capacity is the maximum weight of a trailer and load that can be pulled behind a vehicle. Payload is the difference between empty weight of your vehicle and the gross weight (the maximum weight it will safely haul. Also called GVWR or gross vehicle weight rating). Gross wieght minus empty weight = payload. <P> Full Definition of PAYLOAD. 1. : the load carried by a vehicle exclusive of what is necessary for its operation; especially: the load carried by an aircraft or spacecraft consisting of things (as passengers or instruments) necessary to the purpose of the flight. 2. : the weight of a payload. <P> For a rocket, the payload can be a satellite, space probe, or spacecraft carrying humans, animals, or cargo. For a ballistic missile, the payload is one or more warheads and related systems; the total weight of these systems is referred to as the throw-weight. When the weight of the payload and fuel are considered together, it is known as the useful load fraction . In spacecraft, mass fraction is normally used, which is the ratio of payload to everything else, including the rocket structure. <P> payload. 1. The sum of the weight of passengers and cargo that an aircraft can carry. See also load. 2. The warhead, its container, and activating devices in a military missile. 3. The satellite or research vehicle of a space probe or research missile. The total weight of passengers and cargo that an aircraft carries or can carry. b. The total weight of the instruments, crew, and life-support systems that a spacecraft carries or can carry. c. The passengers, crew, instruments, or equipment carried by an aircraft, spacecraft, or rocket.

what is muscle fiber
|
<P> Within skeletal muscle there are three types of fiber: Type I. Type I fibers are also known as slow twitch fibers. They are red in colour due to the presence of large volumes of myoglobin and so oxygen and high numbers of Mitochondria. <P> Skeletal muscle is made up of individual muscle cells or myocytes, known as muscle fibers. They are formed from the fusion of developmental myoblasts (a type of embryonic progenitor cell that gives rise to a muscle cell) in a process known as myogenesis. Muscle fibres are cylindrical, and multinucleated. Muscle fibers are in turn composed of myofibrils. The myofibrils are composed of actin and myosin filaments, repeated in units called sarcomeres, the basic functional units of the muscle fiber. The sarcomere is responsible for the striated appearance of skeletal muscle, and forms the basic machinery necessary for muscle contraction <P> Skeletal muscle tissue is attached to our bones. It is striated; that is, the fibers (cells) contain alternating light and dark bands (striations) that are perpendicular to the long axes of the fibers. Skeletal muscle tissue can be made to contract or relax by conscious control (voluntary). Smooth muscle tissue is located in the walls of hollow structures such as blood vessels, the stomach, intestines, and the bladder. Smooth muscle fibers are usually involuntary, and they are non-striated (smooth). Smooth muscle tissue, like skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy (growth). <P> Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. It is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. Muscle fibres are cylindrical, and multinucleated. Muscle fibers are in turn composed of myofibrils. The myofibrils are composed of actin and myosin filaments, repeated in units called sarcomeres, the basic functional units of the muscle fiber. <P> The average person has approximately 60% fast muscle fiber and 40% slow-twitch fiber (type I). There can be swings in fiber composition, but essentially, we all have three types of muscle fiber that need to trained. Smooth muscle tissue is located in the walls of hollow structures such as blood vessels, the stomach, intestines, and the bladder. Smooth muscle fibers are usually involuntary, and they are non-striated (smooth). Smooth muscle tissue, like skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy (growth). <P> Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals. Muscle cells contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell. Muscles function to produce force and motion. 1 Type I, slow twitch, or red muscle, is dense with capillaries and is rich in mitochondria and myoglobin, giving the muscle tissue its characteristic red color. 2 It can carry more oxygen and sustain aerobic activity using fats or carbohydrates as fuel. <P> Noun. 1. muscle fibre-an elongated contractile cell that forms the muscles of the body. muscle cell, muscle fiber. fibre, fiber-any of several elongated, threadlike cells (especially a muscle fiber or a nerve fiber). muscle, musculus-one of the contractile organs of the body. <P> 1. muscle fiber-an elongated contractile cell that forms the muscles of the body. muscle cell, muscle fibre. fibre, fiber-any of several elongated, threadlike cells (especially a muscle fiber or a nerve fiber).

Type IIa fibers are fatigue-resistant, type IIb fatigue easily. type II muscle fiber deficiency. a relative deficiency of type II muscle fibers, with a predominance of type I fibers. An inherited defect in Labrador retrievers. Clinical signs include stunted growth, and muscle weakness and abnormal gait, which subside with rest, from an early age.

how did fdr get a third term
|
<P> The decision to run for a third term was difficult for Franklin D. Roosevelt to make. He knew running would be unprecedented. The previous eight long years in office made the thought of retreating to his lifelong home in Hyde Park, New York, and his new presidential library quite attractive. Others were convinced that Roosevelt's third term would signal America's acquiescence to a dictatorship. Still others were disturbed by Roosevelt's apparent dismissal of tradition no president had ever run for a third term. <P> · just now. Report Abuse. FDR was actually elected to a third AND fourth term The 22nd amendment, probhibiting more than 2 terms, was not passed until 1947, and not officially ratified until 1952. FDR died a year into his fourth term in 1945. FDR was actually elected to a third AND fourth term The 22nd amendment, probhibiting more than 2 terms, was not passed until 1947, and not officially ratified until 1952 <P> It should be noted that Henry A. Wallace was FDR's vice president during his third term. Had Wallace run for the fourth term, Roosevelt might not have been reelected. Wallace's unbending stand in favor of civil rights was unpopular with conservative Southern Democrats. <P> The two term limit was only a tradition (started by Washington) until FDR. After FDR's passing, it became part of the Constitution. Declared wars have nothing to do with it. In fact, Roosevelt was elected to his third term in 1940, before we were involved in WWII. FDR was actually elected to a third AND fourth term The 22nd amendment, probhibiting more than 2 terms, was not passed until 1947, and not officially ratified until 1952. <P> A+E Networks. On this day in 1940, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who first took office in 1933 as America’s 32nd president, is nominated for an unprecedentedthird term. Roosevelt, a Democrat, would eventually be elected to a record four terms in office, the only U.S. president to serve more than two terms. In 1936, he won his second term in office by defeating Kansas governor Alf Landon in a landslide. On July 18, 1940, Roosevelt was nominated for a third presidential term at the Democratic Party convention in Chicago. The president received some criticism for running again because there was an unwritten rule in American politics that no U.S. president should <P> The first, and only president elected for a third term was Franklin D.

A+E Networks. Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt is reelected president of the United States for a record third time, handily defeating his Republican challenger, Thomas Dewey, the governor of New York, and becoming the first and only president in history to win a fourth term in office. <P> Up to FDR, their was no constitutional wording on the issue, it was just tradition since George Washington that a President would sit for two terms max, then leave office IE what George did, but since Constitution was silent FDR was able to run for third term, but after the Constitution was changed.

what constitutes a quorum
|
<P> Quorum of Members. Before a meeting can conduct business it requires a quorum --the minimum number of members who must be present at the meeting before business can be legally transacted. <P> A quorum also might mean the number of members of a body defined as competent to transact business in the absence of the other members. The purpose of a quorum rule is to give decisions made by a quorum enough authority to allow binding action to be conducted. <P> The number of members that constitutes a quorum differs depending on the assembly and is usually provided for in that assembly's governing documents (for example, its constitution, charter, bylaws or standing orders). The quorum may also be set by law. <P> According to Robert's Rules, a quorum is the minimum number of voting members who must be present at a properly called meeting in order to conduct business in the name of the group. A quorum should consist of as large as can be depended upon for being present at all meetings when the weather is not exceptionally bad.. <P> A quorum is the minimum number of voting members who must be present of a “deliberative assembly necessary to conduct the business of that group” (Quorum, 2013). <P> quorum. n. the number of people required to be present before a meeting can conduct business. Unless stated differently in by-laws, articles, regulations, or other rules established by the organization, a quorum is usually a majority of members. <P> A quorum is the minimum number of people who must be present to pass a law, make a judgment, or conduct business. Quorum requirements typically are found in a court, legislative assembly, or corporation (where those attending might be directors or stockholders). <P> A quorum is the minimum number of members of a deliberative assembly (a body that uses parliamentary procedure, such as a legislature) necessary to conduct the business of that group.

what is hyperthyroidism symptoms
|
<P> Continue ReadingHyperthyroidism: Causes. When you have hyperthyroidism, your body is producing excessive amounts of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. Since these hormones regulate your metabolism (how your body processes and uses energy), having too high a level will cause symptoms related to a high metabolism. <P> Hyperthyroidism, also known as over active thyroid and hyperthyreosis, is the condition that occurs due to excessive production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. Thyrotoxicosis is the condition that occurs due to excessive thyroid hormone of any cause and therefore includes hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism due to certain types of thyroiditis can eventually lead to hypothyroidism (a lack of thyroid hormone), as the thyroid gland is damaged. Also, radioiodine treatment of Graves' disease often eventually leads to hypo <P> Knowledge center. Hyperthyroidism, also known as overactive thyroid, is a medical condition caused by an abnormally high level of thyroid hormone in the bloodstream. The thyroid gland produces an excessive amount of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland is located in the neck <P> Symptoms are related to the effects of excess thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones control metabolism, so excessive amounts of T4 or T3 cause a metabolic rate that is too high. This is called a hyper-metabolic state. People with hyperthyroidism typically have rapid heart rates, weight loss, and heat intolerance. The thyroid gland can be visibly enlarged (goiter). You can also have elevated blood pressure, nervousness, and hand tremors. You may also sweat a lot, feel hungry and restless, and have difficulty concentrating. <P> Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which an overactive thyroid gland is producing an excessive amount of thyroid hormones that circulate in the blood. (Hyper means over in Greek). Thyrotoxicosis is a toxic condition that is caused by an excess of thyroid hormones from any cause. 1 There are many possible causes of hyperthyroidism. 2 Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include restlessness, tremors, weight loss despite an increased appetite, sweating, rapid heart rate, intolerance to heat, and frequent bowel movements. 3 Treatments for hyperthyroidism include medications, ablation, and surgery. <P> About Hyperthyroidism. The thyroid gland is a part of the body's endocrine (hormone) system — which is made up of the glands that help regulate many of the body's different functions. An overactive thyroid produces too much of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, which causes some of these functions to speed up. Hyperthyroidism is the medical term for an overactive thyroid gland. Too little thyroxine reverses the process and slows down the body's functions. This can be caused by an underactive thyroid, a condition also referred to as hypothyroidism. Symptoms. Hyperthyroidism often causes the thyroid gland, which is located at the front of the neck, to become noticeably larger. <P> With hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid, the thyroid makes too much, explains Dr. Sood. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto’s disease, a condition where the immune system makes antibodies that destroy thyroid cells and stop them from making the thyroid hormone. The most common form of hyperthyroidism is a condition called Grave’s disease <P> Graves' disease. The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is an autoimmune condition called Graves' disease. The body's immune system creates an antibody that causes the gland to make an excessive amount of thyroid hormone. Graves' disease runs in families, and usually affects younger women. Thyroiditis. <P> 1 Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which there is an excessive amount of thyroid hormones. 2 Thyroid hormones regulate the metabolism of the cells. 3 Normally, the rate of thyroid hormone production is controlled by the brain at the pituitary gland. 1 There are many possible causes of hyperthyroidism. 2 Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include restlessness, tremors, weight loss despite an increased appetite, sweating, rapid heart rate, intolerance to heat, and frequent bowel movements. 3 Treatments for hyperthyroidism include medications, ablation, and surgery.

what is the average distance between planets
|
<P> Planet Distance Matrix. Below is a matrix of the eight planets in our solar system and their respective distances from each other. Each distance is calculated as an average and converted into astronomical units (AU) where 1 AU = the distance between the Sun and Earth = 149,598,000 kilometres. This chart is based on averages and the distances from one planet to another have been calculated by the difference in their mean distance from the sun. For this reason, it is easiest to look at the average distance between planets as opposed to a specific distance at any point in time; however we have also included minimum and maximum distances. <P> The reason for this is that the planets have elliptical orbits and none of them are perfect circles. As an example, the distance between the planet Mercury and Earth can range from 77 million km at the closest point, to as far as 222 million km at the farthest. There is a huge amount of different in the distances between the planets depending on their position on their orbit path. The table below shows the eight planets and the average distance between them. The AU column is the distance in astronomical units. 1 AU is the distance from the Sun to Earth, which is 149,600,000 km <P> Its mean (average) distance from the sun is about 67 million miles (108 million kilometres). Other interesti … ng facts about Venus: The diameter of Venus is about 7,520 miles (12,100 kilometers), approximately 400 miles (644 kilometers) smaller than that of the Earth. In terms of Astronomical Units (AU), the … average distance of the Earth from the Sun,the planetary distances are: Mercury: 0.4 AU Venus: 0.7 AU Earth: 1 AU Mars: 1.5 AU Jupiter: 5.2 AU Saturn: 9.5 AU Uranus: 19.2 AU Neptune: 30 AU. 1 AU = exactly 149,597,870,700 metres (or about 150 million km). <P> Furthest: 109 million km / 68 million miles (.728 AU). Average: 108 million km / 67 million miles (.722 AU). Closest to Venus from Earth: 40 million km / 25 million miles. From the Solar Dynamics Observatory: Planet Venus transiting the Sun in the 304 Anstrom wavelength at approx. 90,000 degrees Fahrenheit in July 2012. Average: 779 million km / 484 million miles (5.20 AU). Closest to Jupiter from Earth: 588 million km / 346 million miles. The “pale blue dot” of Earth as seen from Cassini on July 19, 2013. <P> We should like to make a proposal that the average mean distance between the planet Mercury and the Sun be considered for computations of the astronomical unit. The average mean distance between Mercury and the Sun is generally cited as being 36 ,000,000 miles or, 57,900,000 kilometers. Tweet. The astronomical unit (AU) currently in use is derived from the average mean distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is generally cited as 93 ,000,000 miles or 149,600,000 kilometers. <P> Distances Between the Planets. The distances between each planet in our solar system will vary depending on each orbit. No planet has a perfectly circular orbit around the sun and therefore the distance between each planet can take on two very extreme numbers. For this reason, it is easiest to look at the average distance between planets as opposed to a specific distance at any point in time; however we have also included minimum and maximum distances. <P> Astronomical Unit (A.U.). An astronomical unit (A.U.) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. Astronomical units are usually used to measure distances within our solar system. <P> (An AU is the distance from Earth to the Sun, about 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles). The table below lists the distance of each planet from the Sun in AU. To find the distance between the orbits of two planets in AU, subtract the two planet-Sun distances. For example, Earth orbits at 1 AU from the Sun and Venus orbits at 0.72 AU from the Sun. The difference between these two distances is 1 - 0.72 = 0.28 AU. <P> Distances in the solar system are commonly measured in Astronomical Units (AU). An AU is simply the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. Because the Earth's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse, the Earth is not always the same distance from the Sun. An AU is equal to ~149,600,000 km.
