what types of animals are in the madagascar tropical rainforest
|
<P> Tropical rainforests produce 40% of Earth's oxygen. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world. Scientists have counted about 100 to 300 species in one 2 1/2-acre (1-hectare) area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees. About 1/4 of all the medicines we use come from rainforest plants. <P> MORE Black lemur The black lemur lives in the tropical forests of northern Madagascar. Black lemurs are notable for the differences between the sexes. Males are black while females have reddish-brown fur with a black and white face. Black lemurs feed on fruit, flowers, and young leaves. The indri is the largest living lemur. Black and white in color, the indri is famous for its eerie wail that sounds a bit like the song of a humpback whale. The indri feeds on fruit and leaves in the canopy of the rainforests of east <P> Rainforests country profiles. Madagascar, due to its isolation from the rest of the world, has tremendous biodiversity and high rates of endemic species: of more than 200,000 known species found on Madagascar, more than 80 percent exist nowhere else. <P> Madagascar's rain forests, which lie on the east coast of the island, receive more than 100 inches of rain annually,. Five distinct layers make up a tropical rain forest, including an overstory, canopy, understory, shrub layer and forest floor. The rain forests of Madagascar provide a home for unusual creatures such as mongoose, fossas, civets, fanaloucs and tenrecs. Like other islands, Madagascar supports no large mammals, meaning that bats and rodents make up a large part of its mammal species. <P> The tropical forests have the greatest diversity of birds with some of the rarest birds in the world like the Madagascar serpent eagle. 84 species of mammals, 50 species of reptiles, 42 species of birds, 29 species of amphibians, and 82 percent of all plants are endemic (4). Tropical Rainforests. The tropical rainforests of Madagascar stretch along the eastern coast of the island. They are also referred to as the lowland forests because they are located at low elevations from sea level up to 800 meters. <P> ANIMALS: Tropical rainforests are home to half the plant and animal species on Earth. Scientists believe that there is such a great diversity of animals in tropical rainforests because they are one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. LOCATION: There are two types of rainforest biomes: temperate and tropical rainforests. Temperate rainforests are found along coasts in temperate regions. The largest temperate rainforests are on the Pacific coast in North America, stretching from Alaska to Oregon. <P> Ringtails live in the dry forests of southern and western Madagascar where they feed on fruit, flowers, leaves, and bark. Ring-tailed lemurs are the most terrestrial of living lemur species and are found in female-dominated groups consisting of three to 20 animals. The indri is the largest living lemur. Black and white in color, the indri is famous for its eerie wail that sounds a bit like the song of a humpback whale. The indri feeds on fruit and leaves in the canopy of the rainforests of eastern Madagascar. <P> Every year new species of mammals, birds, frogs, and reptiles are found in rainforests. 1 Rainforests have 170,000 of the world’s 250,000 known plant species. 2 the United States has 81 species of frogs, while Madagascar, which is smaller than Texas, may have 500 species. Here are some examples of the richness of rainforests: Rainforests have 170,000 of the world’s 250,000 known plant species. <P> Trees in temperate rainforests can live much longer than humans, some live for up to 1000 years! Tropical rainforests have a bigger variety of trees, hundreds of species in fact! These trees are mostly broadleaf trees and have a shorter lifespan. They usually live for 50 - 100 years. LOCATION: There are two types of rainforest biomes: temperate and tropical rainforests. Temperate rainforests are found along coasts in temperate regions. The largest temperate rainforests are on the Pacific coast in North America, stretching from Alaska to Oregon. <P> The tropical rainforests of Madagascar may be one of the most diverse forests in the world but these forests are also among the most threatened habitats in the world. Since humans arrived 2,000 years ago much of the original forest cover has disappeared and is continuing to disappear at a rapid rate (4,5). Tropical Rainforests. The tropical rainforests of Madagascar stretch along the eastern coast of the island. They are also referred to as the lowland forests because they are located at low elevations from sea level up to 800 meters.

who was the good neighbor policy directed to quizlet
|
<P> The Good Neighbor policy was the foreign policy of the administration of United States President Franklin Roosevelt towards Latin America. Although the policy was implemented by the Roosevelt administration, 19th-century politician Henry Clay paved the way for it and coined the term Good Neighbor. <P> Roosevelt had pledged the United States to the good neighbor policy, transforming the Monroe Doctrine from a unilateral American manifesto into arrangements for mutual action against aggressors. <P> The shift in twentieth-century U.S. policy towards Latin America began with the Good Neighbor Policy. From the late nineteenth century to the 1920s, the United States had a rocky relationship with Latin America. <P> The reason that FDR s Good Neighbor Policy was first applied in U.S. relations with Latin America and the Caribbean stemmed from the root concept of good neighbors. In 1936 Roosevelt explained: Peace, like charity, begins at home. <P> In addition, Roosevelt had thus far followed a Good Neighbor policy with the countries of Latin America. Whereas Teddy Roosevelt had created an interventionist state with his corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, FDR formally accepted nonintervention in 1933. <P> The Cold War Museum-Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt had pledged the United States to the good neighbor policy, transforming the Monroe Doctrine from a unilateral American manifesto into arrangements for mutual action against aggressors. He also sought, through neutrality legislation ... <P> U.S. exports to Latin America increased, and U.S. investment in the region rose. Militarily, the Good Neighbor Policy eventually brought all of Latin America over to the side of the Allies during World War II. Mexico became a staunch U.S. ally, and it was the only Latin American nation to send troops into combat. <P> The Good Neighbor Policy and the Pan-American war propaganda were further abandoned when the United States ignored free trade overtures and viewed Latin America merely as a supplier of raw materials and tropical foodstuffs.

<P> - 2007 Cancer Facts & Figures. Even patients with insurance are thinking hard before agreeing to treatment because out-of-pocket co-payments for the drug could easily run $10,000 to $20,000 a year. One of the few cancer drugs with a higher monthly price than the level planned for Avastin is Erbitux. <P> Press Releases. Based on growth and aging of the U.S. population, medical expenditures for cancer in the year 2020 are projected to reach at least $158 billion (in 2010 dollars) – an increase of 27 percent over 2010, according to a National Institutes of Health analysis. <P> 1 For example, women on a BreastCancer.org forum report chemotherapy costs of $7,000-$40,000 per treatment. 2 Depending on the individual case and the type and number of treatments needed, the total cost of breast cancer treatment, on average, can reach $100,000 -- or, in advanced cases, $300,000 or more. <P> Cancer costs projected to reach at least $158 billion in 2020; Based on growth and aging of the U.S. population, medical expenditures for cancer in the year 2020 are projected to reach at least $158 billion (in 2010 dollars) – an increase of 27 percent over 2010, according to a National Institutes of Health analysis. <P> One of the major costs of cancer is cancer treatment. But lack of health insurance and other barriers to health care prevent many Americans from getting optimal health care. 1 According to the US Census Bureau, about 48 million people (15.4%) in the US were uninsured in 2012. <P> For all other types of cancers during the same time period, the average yearly cost for treatment increased by 25 percent, or five times slower than the cost of skin cancer. From 2002 to 2006 the treatment costs for skin cancer increased $3.6 billion, and from 2007 to 2011 the costs increased to $8.1 billion. <P> 1 Chemotherapy can cost about $10,000-$100,000 or more, depending on the drugs, the method of administration and the length or number of treatments. 2 For example, women on a BreastCancer.org forum report chemotherapy costs of $7,000-$40,000 per treatment. <P> The most significant cost increase occurred in treatment for people with melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer. The study found that the cost of treatment jumped 106 percent, rising from $2,320 annually to $4,789 annually.

what is biomedical PCR
|
<P> PCR is a standard laboratory technique that allows amplification of specific segments of DNA based on complementarity. <P> As the name implies, it is a chain reaction, a small fragment of the DNA section of interest needs to be identified which serves as the template for producing the primers that initiate the reaction. Programming PCRs. PCR is an iterative process, consisting of 3 elements; denaturation of the template by heat, annealing of the oligonucleotide primers to the single stranded target sequence(s), and extension of the annealed primers by a thermostable DNA polymerase. <P> For most, if not all of these applications, alternative methods of DNA (or RNA) amplification, can be substituted. For example helicase-dependent amplification (HDA) and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) are isothermal alternatives to PCR that can be used for the same purposes. 1 PCR can also be used as part of a sensitive test for tissue typing, vital to organ transplantation. 2 As of 2008, there is even a proposal to replace the traditional antibody-based tests for blood type with PCR-based tests. 3 Many forms of cancer involve alterations to oncogenes. <P> Theory. Polymerase chain reaction, better known as PCR, is one of the technologies that not only made a tremendous impact on the scientific community, but also affected many aspects of our everyday lives. Programming PCRs. PCR is an iterative process, consisting of 3 elements; denaturation of the template by heat, annealing of the oligonucleotide primers to the single stranded target sequence(s), and extension of the annealed primers by a thermostable DNA polymerase. <P> Working principle of PCR. As the name implies, it is a chain reaction, a small fragment of the DNA section of interest needs to be identified which serves as the template for producing the primers that initiate the reaction. One DNA molecule is used to produce two copies, then four, then eight and so forth. Programming PCRs. PCR is an iterative process, consisting of 3 elements; denaturation of the template by heat, annealing of the oligonucleotide primers to the single stranded target sequence(s), and extension of the annealed primers by a thermostable DNA polymerase. <P> Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a laboratory technique used to amplify DNA sequences. The method involves using short DNA sequences called primers to select the portion of the genome to be amplified. <P> What is Biomedical Research. Biomedical research is the broad area of science that looks for ways to prevent and treat diseases that cause illness and death in people and in animals. This general field of research includes many areas of both the life and physical sciences. Utilizing biotechnology techniques, biomedical researchers study biological processes and diseases with the ultimate goal of developing effective treatments and cures. Biomedical research is an evolutionary process requiring careful experimentation by many scientists, including biologists and chemists. <P> A resource on PCR for forensic science. DNA profiling (DNA typing, genetic fingerprinting, DNA testing) is a technique used by forensic scientists to identify someone based on their DNA profile. PCR can be used as a tool in genetic fingerprinting. This technology can identify any one person from millions of others. <P> News. The invention of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) radically changed biology. The technique was considered so important that the Nobel Prize was awarded to its inventor, Kary Mullis, in 1993. Thanks to this technique, very small samples of DNA (from as little as a single cell) can be analyzed.

what are some urinary disorders
|
<P> The cause of a urinary tract infection is bacteria, which often make their way from the digestive tract into the urinary system. One type of bacteria, Escherichia coli (or E. coli), normally lives in the colon. When introduced in the urinary tract, E. coli multiplies, and an infection results. Urinary tract infections can occur in different areas of the urinary system. The specific medical name of a urinary tract infection relates to its specific location in your body: 1 A bladder infection is called cystitis. 2 A kidney infection is known as pyelonephritis. <P> Examples of urinary disorders include cancers of the urinary tract, incontinence (inability to control urine flow), interstitial cystitis, kidney stones, kidney failure, and urinary tract infections. Treatment of urinary disorders involves identifying and treating the cause and symptoms. Some examples of possible treatments include self-care measures, medications to relieve pain, medications to relax the bladder, antibiotics, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. <P> Diseases of the urinary system. Different specialists treat urinary system ailments. Nephrologists treat kidney diseases, while urologists treat problems with the urinary tract, including the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, bladder and urethra, according to the American Urological Association (AUA). The only difference between the female and male urinary system is the length of the urethra, according to Merck Manuals. In females, the urethra is about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) to 2 inches (5.1 cm) long and sits between the clitoris and the vagina. <P> The most common UTIs occur mainly in women and affect the bladder and urethra. 1 Infection of the bladder (cystitis). 2 This type of UTI is usually caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. 3 However, sometimes other bacteria are responsible. 1 Infection of the bladder (cystitis). 2 This type of UTI is usually caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. 3 However, sometimes other bacteria are responsible. 4 Sexual intercourse may lead to cystitis, but you don't have to be sexually active to develop it. <P> The urinary system, also known as the renal system, produces, stores and eliminates urine, the fluid waste excreted by the kidneys. The kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from blood. Urine travels from the kidneys through two thin tubes called ureters and fills the bladder. When the bladder is full, a person urinates through the urethra to eliminate the waste. The urinary system is susceptible to a variety of infections and other problems, including blockages and injuries. The only difference between the female and male urinary system is the length of the urethra, according to Merck Manuals. In females, the urethra is about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) to 2 inches (5.1 cm) long and sits between the clitoris and the vagina. <P> Kidney and urinary tract disorders can involve one or both kidneys, one or both ureters, the bladder, or the urethra, and in men, the prostate, one or both testes, or the epididymis. Some urinary tract disorders rarely cause symptoms until the problem is very advanced. These include kidney failure, tumors and stones that do not block urine flow, and some low-grade infections. Sometimes, symptoms occur but are very general or vague and are not always obviously related to the kidneys. Symptoms that are more suggestive of a kidney or urinary problem include pain in the side (flank), swelling of the feet or legs, and problems with urination. Incontinence is an uncontrollable loss of urine, which can have a variety of causes (see Urinary Incontinence in Adults). <P> The urinary tract consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Your kidneys filter your blood, creating urine, which travels through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored. When the appropriate time comes, the muscles of your bladder contract and urine exits your body through your urethra. Urinary disorders include any diseases, disorders or conditions that affect your kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra, or that affect their function. Treatment of urinary disorders involves identifying and treating the cause and symptoms. Some examples of possible treatments include self-care measures, medications to relieve pain, medications to relax the bladder, antibiotics, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. <P> Common symptoms of urinary disorders include abdominal, pelvic, or lower back pain or discomfort; blood in the urine; changes in the urine; difficulty producing urine; fever and chills; frequent urination; leaking of urine; and urgent need to urinate. Treatment of urinary disorders involves identifying and treating the cause and symptoms. Some examples of possible treatments include self-care measures, medications to relieve pain, medications to relax the bladder, antibiotics, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. <P> Diseases of the urinary system can include your diseases of your kidneys, bladder disorders, urinary tract infections and the most dreaded of all urinary diseases, the kidney stone. What diseases affect the urinary system? By the way, that's not apple juice. Now that you know what diseases can affect your urinary system you may want to check out some other diseases of the digestive system. Chron's disease is particularly unpleasant and it affects hundreds of thousands of people.

why was medicare and medicaid created
|
<P> President and Senior Agent, Outlook Life, Most of the U.S. Medicare was created to help pay for health costs for the aged population, because at that time, people over 65 were having a very difficult time finding health insurance. Medicaid was created to assist very low income people (especially children) with medical expenses. Both were signed into law in 1965. <P> Medicaid History. Medicaid was created in 1965 through the Social Security Act. In 1967, the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) Plan was developed for children under the age of 21. Then in 1981, waivers were created for freedom of choice, home and community based care. <P> Medicare and Medicaid are very different. Medicaid is a federal program for low-income, financially needy people, set up by the federal government and administered differently in each state. (This program is called Medi-Cal in California.). <P> In the United States, Medicare is a national social insurance program, administered by the U.S. federal government since 1966, currently using about 30 private insurance companies across the United States. Medicare provides health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older who have worked and paid into the system. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a component of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administers Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and parts of the Affordable Care Act (ACT). <P> Medicaid History. Medicaid was created by the United States government to provide health care to people who have low incomes and cannot afford health services or health insurance on their own. Each individual state manages their Medicaid services and programs. Medicaid was created in 1965 through the Social Security Act. In 1967, the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) Plan was developed for children under the age of 21. Then in 1981, waivers were created for freedom of choice, home and community based care. <P> Medicare was created in 1965 when people over 65 found it virtually impossible to get private health insurance coverage. Medicare has made access to health care a universal right for Americans once they reach age 65. This has helped improve the health and longevity of older Americans. <P> You are here: Home About CMS History. CMS’ program history Medicare & Medicaid On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the bill that led to the Medicare and Medicaid. The original Medicare program included Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). Today these 2 parts are called “Original Medicare.” Over the years, Congress has made changes to Medicare: The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was created in 1997 to give health insurance and preventive care to nearly 11 million, or 1 in 7, uninsured American children. Many of these children came from uninsured working families that earned too much to be eligible for Medicaid. <P> The Medicaid program covers millions of low-income women, children, elderly people and individuals with disabilities. The Medicaid program was enacted in the same legislation that created the Medicare program-the Social Security Amendments of 1965 (P.L. 89-97). <P> The program costs about $432 billion, or 3.2% of GDP, in 2007. Medicaid is a social welfare (or social protection) program that serves about 40 million people (as of 2007) and costs about $330 billion, or 2.4% of GDP, in 2007. Together, Medicare and Medicaid represent 21% of the FY 2007 U.S. federal government. Both Medicaid and Medicare were created when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed amendments to the Social Security Act on July 30, 1965. <P> Fifty years ago, Congress created Medicare and Medicaid and remade American health care. The number of elderly citizens lacking access to hospitals and doctors plummeted. Hospitals, physicians, and state and local governments came to depend on this federal funding.

what is the haka dance
|
<P> A haka is a traditional ancestral war cry, dance or challenge of the Māori people of New Zealand which the New Zealand national rugby union team, the All Blacks, and a number of other New Zealand national teams perform before their international matches. Some non-New Zealand sports teams have also adopted the haka. Other teams from the Pacific and elsewhere however have performed the Ka Mate or Kapa O Pango haka. For instance, the Kapa O Pango haka was used by the University of Hawaii Warriors in 2006, before they created their own war dance, the Ha ʻ a, in the Hawaiian language with original movements. <P> The Haka, which is performed by the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team before each match, is an ancestral war dance of the Māori people, traditionally used to intimidate an opponent before battle. It is also performed to honour a distinguished guest. <P> Haka is a traditional dance form of the Māori of New Zealand, which has become familiar worldwide through their rugby team display. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment. <P> The haka is a traditional genre of Māori dance. This picture dates from ca. 1845. The haka (plural is the same as singular: haka) is a traditional ancestral war cry, dance, or challenge from the Māori people of New Zealand. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment. The New Zealand sports teams' practice of performing a haka before their international matches has made the haka more widely known around the world. This tradition began with the 1888–89 New Zealand Native football team tour and has been carried on by the New Zealand rugby team since 1905. <P> The Haka. The Haka is the traditional Maori war dance performed by New Zealand teams at the beginning of a match. The team practise of the dance has made it widely known around the world. The centrality of the haka within All Black rugby tradition is not a recent development. Since the original All Black team of New Zealand Natives led by Joseph Warbrick the haka has been closely associated with New Zealand rugby. <P> The Haka is a traditional Maori dance. The Haka was originally a combination of dance and chanting that was performed by Maori warriors before the went to battle. Nowadays the Haka is mainly performed for amusement or ceremoniously: a welcome for important guests or to commemorate an important day or event. <P> Also, focussing on Ka mate, the haka performed by the All Blacks there are a few paragraphs on its origin, a translation of the words, and a brief description of how it relates to rugby. Finally there is a bibliography for further reading and links to a couple of related websites. <P> The Haka is the traditional Maori war dance performed by New Zealand teams at the beginning of a match.

what is tert in chem
|
<P> tert-Butyl alcohol (TBA) , or 2-methylpropan-2-ol (2M2P), is the simplest tertiary alcohol. It is one of the four isomers of butanol. tert-Butyl alcohol is a clear liquid (or a colorless solid, depending on the ambient temperature) with a camphor-like odor. As a tertiary alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol is more stable to oxidation and less reactive than the other isomers of butanol. When tert-butyl alcohol is deprotonated with a strong base, the product is an alkoxide anion. In this case, it is tert-butoxide <P> Answers. Best Answer: tert is short for tertiary. tert for organic chemistry is specifically referring to a carbon that is already bonded to 3 other carbon atoms. You could also think of it as a third degree carbon but no one calls it that, I've no idea why. In this case, tert-is a specific type of group. A tert-butyl group is a-C(CH3)3 group; the tert is necessary to distinguish between the 4 different arrangements of a 4-carbon side chain. I hope this helped! Paul · 7 years ago. <P> tert-. (organic chemistry). Abbreviation for tertiary; trisubstituted methyl radical with the central carbon attached to three other carbons (R 1 R 2 R 3 C‒). 1 Facebook. 2 Twitter. <P> Butyl is the largest substituent for which trivial names are commonly used for all isomers. The butyl group's carbon that is connected to the rest (R) of the molecule is called the R I or R-prime carbon. The prefixes sec (from secondary) and tert (from tertiary) refer to the number of additional side chains connected to the first butyl carbon. The prefix iso (from isomer) means equal while the prefix ' n- ' stands for normal. <P> Step 3. The overall reaction, therefore, is: Because tert-butyl alcohol is a tertiary alcohol, the relative stability of the tert-butyl carbocation in the Step 2 allows the S N 1 mechanism to be followed. As a tertiary alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol is more stable to oxidation and less reactive than the other isomers of butanol. When tert-butyl alcohol is deprotonated with a strong base, the product is an alkoxide anion. In this case, it is tert-butoxide <P> Report Abuse. In this case, tert-is a specific type of group. A tert-butyl group is a-C(CH3)3 group; the tert is necessary to distinguish between the 4 different arrangements of a 4-carbon side chain. I hope this helped! Paul · 7 years ago. <P> The prefix n- is used when all carbons form a continuous, unbranched (linear) chain. If a functional group (such as an alcohol) is present that functional group is on the end of the chain. The prefix sec or s is used when the functional group is bonded to a secondary carbon. This prefix is only useful for a four-carbon chain. It is not applicable with a shorter chain, and it is often ambiguous when the chain has five or more carbons. Common name: sec-butanol (s-butanol). IUPAC name: 2- butanol. <P> The tert-butyl substituent is very bulky and used in chemistry for kinetic stabilisation together with other bulky groups such as the related trimethylsilyl group. The prefixes sec (from secondary) and tert (from tertiary) refer to the number of additional side chains connected to the first butyl carbon. The prefix iso (from isomer) means equal while the prefix ' n- ' stands for normal. <P> The effect that the t-butyl group exerts on the progress of a chemical reaction is called the tert-butyl effect. This effect is illustrated in the Diels-Alder reaction below, where the tert-butyl substituent causes a reaction rate acceleration by a factor of 240 compared to hydrogen as the substituent. The prefixes sec (from secondary) and tert (from tertiary) refer to the number of additional side chains connected to the first butyl carbon. The prefix iso (from isomer) means equal while the prefix ' n- ' stands for normal.

what is a gene in genetics
|
<P> Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. It is generally considered a field of biology, but it intersects frequently with many of the life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems. The modern working definition of a gene is a portion (or sequence) of DNA that codes for a known cellular function or process (e.g. the function make melanin molecules). A single 'gene' is most similar to a single 'word' in the English language. The nucleotides (molecules) that make up genes can be seen as 'letters' in the English language. Nucleotides are named according to which of the four nitrogenous bases they contain. The four bases are cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymine <P> A DNA molecule is a twisted ladder-like stack of building blocks called nucleotides. There are four types of DNA nucleotides-adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine-or A, C, G, and T, for short. You've got six billion of these pairs of nucleotides in each of your cells, and amongst these six billion nucleotide pairs are roughly 23,000 genes. A gene is a distinct stretch of DNA that determines something about who you are. (More on that later.) Genes vary in size, from just a few thousand pairs of nucleotides (or base pairs) to over two million base pairs <P> Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features. Genes are made up of DNA. Each chromosome contains many genes. A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases. <P> The father of genetics is Gregor Mendel, a late 19th-century scientist and Augustinian friar. Mendel studied 'trait inheritance', patterns in the way traits were handed down from parents to offspring. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete units of inheritance. The modern working definition of a gene is a portion (or sequence) of DNA that codes for a known cellular function or process (e.g. the function make melanin molecules). A single 'gene' is most similar to a single 'word' in the English language. The nucleotides (molecules) that make up genes can be seen as 'letters' in the English language. Nucleotides are named according to which of the four nitrogenous bases they contain. The four bases are cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymin <P> A gene is a segment of DNA that encodes function. A chromosome consists of a long strand of DNA containing many genes. A human chromosome can have up to 500 million base pairs of DNA with thousands of genes. The total complement of genes in an organism or cell is known as its genome, which may be stored on one or more chromosomes. A chromosome consists of a single, very long DNA helix on which thousands of genes are encoded. The region of the chromosome at which a particular gene is located is called its locus. <P> Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still a primary principle of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. The modern working definition of a gene is a portion (or sequence) of DNA that codes for a known cellular function or process (e.g. the function make melanin molecules). A single 'gene' is most similar to a single 'word' in the English language. The nucleotides (molecules) that make up genes can be seen as 'letters' in the English language. Nucleotides are named according to which of the four nitrogenous bases they contain. The four bases are cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymine <P> Genes. A gene is a length of DNA that codes for a specific protein. So, for example, one gene will code for the protein insulin, which is important role in helping your body to control the amount of sugar in your blood. Genes are the basic unit of genetics. Human beings have 20,000 to 25,000 genes. Genes are made of a chemical called DNA, which is short for 'deoxyribonucleic acid'. The DNA molecule is a double helix: that is, two long, thin strands twisted around each other like a spiral staircase.

what is the normal level for your hemoglobin
|
<P> For people without diabetes, the normal range for the hemoglobin A1c test is between 4% and 5.6%. Hemoglobin A1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4% indicate increased risk of diabetes, and levels of 6.5% or higher indicate diabetes. Hemoglobin A1c provides an average of your blood sugar control over the past 2 to 3 months and is used along with home blood sugar monitoring to make adjustments in your diabetes medicines. <P> Women who are pregnant commonly have low hemoglobin counts. A low hemoglobin level count is generally defined as less than 13.5 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter (135 grams per liter) of blood for men and less than 12 grams per deciliter (120 grams per liter) for women. In children, the definition varies with age and sex. Iron-An essential element for blood production. About 70 percent of the body's iron is found in the red blood cells of blood called hemoglobin and in muscle cells called myoglobin. Anemia-A term that means less than normal levels of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood. <P> A low hemoglobin count is a commonly seen blood test result. Hemoglobin (Hb or Hgb) is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. In many cases, a low hemoglobin count is only slightly lower than normal and doesn't affect how you feel. <P> Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is made up of four protein molecules (globulin chains) that are connected together. <P> Hemoglobin Levels for Children. Children need optimal oxygenation for normal growth and development. According to the World Health Organization, a normal hemoglobin level for children age 6 months to 4 years is at or above 11 g/dL. A normal levels for children ages 5 to 12 years is at or above 11.5 g/dL. A normal level for adolescents ages 12 to 15 is at or above 12.0 g/dL. Any hemoglobin values below these cut-points can indicate anemia, a disorder characterized by a low red blood cell count, as well as low hemoglobin and hemocrit. Normal hemoglobin levels vary, depending on your age, sex, you health and where you live. Children need optimal oxygenation for normal growth and development. According to the World Health Organization, a normal hemoglobin level for children age 6 months to 4 years is at or above 11 g/dL. <P> Normal hemoglobin values are related to the person's age and sex. Normal values may vary slightly between test systems, and which groups of doctors have determined normal values for their group of patients; however, the value ranges are close (vary by about 0.5 g/dl) for almost every group. <P> Normal hemoglobin levels are different in women and in men. In non-pregnant women, normal hemoglobin ranges from 120 g/L to 160 g/L. In men, normal hemoglobin levels range from 140 g/L to 180 g/L. Canadian Blood Services tests each donor’s hemoglobin at the clinic and requires a minimum of 125 g/L for donation. <P> If it gets more severe and causes symptoms, your low hemoglobin count may indicate you have anemia. A low hemoglobin count is generally defined as less than 13.5 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter (135 grams per liter) of blood for men and less than 12 grams per deciliter (120 grams per liter) for women. In children, the definition varies with age and sex. Hemoglobin (Hb or Hgb) is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. In many cases, a low hemoglobin count is only slightly lower than normal and doesn't affect how you feel. <P> Someone who is not diabetic will have about five percent of their hemoglobin glycated. This means that if your A1C is below 5.7, you don’t have to worry. A normal A1C level is below 5.7 percent; 6.5 percent or above indicates diabetes; 5.7 to 6.4 percent is prediabetes.

It is the common term for a high-definition digital video transmission standard known as SMPTE 292M. The SMPTE 292M standard is part of a family of Serial Digital Interface standards that use a coaxial cable to transport uncompressed digital video -- currently still predominantly used in professional TV studios. <P> The California State Disability Insurance (SDI) program provides short-term Disability Insurance (DI) and Paid Family Leave (PFL) wage replacement benefits to eligible workers who need time off work. You may be eligible for DI if you are unable to work due to non-work-related illness or injury, pregnancy, or childbirth. <P> The SDI engine is a design of naturally aspirated (NA) direct injection diesel engine developed and produced by Volkswagen Group for use in cars and vans, along with marine engine (Volkswagen Marine) and Volkswagen Industrial Motor applications. The SDI engine is generally utilised in applications where reliability and fuel economy are of primary concern. These engines lack any type of forced induction, hence the use of 'suction' in the title, and as such, their power output is lower when compared with a similar displacement turbocharged engine. <P> SDI stands for state disability insurance, which pays a portion of your salary if you experience a non-work-related illness, injury, pregnancy or childbirth. Only a few states require that employers carry the insurance, and either you, your employer or both parties may pay the cost. If your employer paid all of your SDI, it includes those payments in your state taxable wages in Box 16 of your W-2.You would report the amounts paid by your employer as taxable income on your state tax return. <P> For example, the 2.0 SDI engine fitted to the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 has a peak power output of 55 kilowatts (75 PS; 74 bhp); whereas the same engine in Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) form is rated at 103 kilowatts (140 PS; 138 bhp) or 125 kilowatts (170 PS; 168 bhp), depending on specification.

what kind of social group do lemurs live in
|
<P> Photo: Herbert Gustafson. Ring-tailed lemurs live in multi-male/multi-female groups of about 11 to 17 animals but which range in size from six to 35 at Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve and four to 31 at Berenty Private Reserve (Sussman 1991; Hood & Jolly 1995; Sauthers pers. comm.). <P> Ring-tailed lemurs can be found in the dry woodlands of southwestern Madagascar. They live together in social groups of up to about 25 lemurs and are very territorial. A group s range can be as small as around 15 acres and as large as 60. Ring-tailed lemurs mark their territory with scents produced in glands in their wrists. They will often fiercely defend their territories from other groups. <P> Ring-tailed lemurs exhibit female philopatry and the core of the social group is the dominant matriline (Jolly 2003). Because females almost always remain in their natal groups while males emigrate into a new group, ring-tailed lemur social groups are centered around a group of related adult females and their offspring. <P> Male and female ring-tailed lemurs are similar physically. They are roughly the same size, measuring about 42.5 cm (1.4 ft.) from head to rump and weighing roughly 2.25 kg (5 lb.). Highly social creatures, ring-tailed lemurs live in groups averaging 17 members. Their society is female-dominant, and a group will often contain multiple breeding females. Females reproduce starting at 3 years of age, generally giving birth to one baby a year. <P> Distribution and Habitat. Ring-tailed lemurs are found in the southwest portion of Madagascar. They live in arid, open areas and forests. Ring-tailed lemurs live in territories that range from 15 to 57 acres (0.06 to 0.2 km 2) in size. <P> The social structure of the Lemur is very interesting. They live in small groups that move around with each other. These family groups have females that are dominate over the males. It can be very difficult to tell the difference between the males and the females.

what is acrylic made out of
|
<P> Monomer liquid. Artificial nail enhancements are made of acrylic plastic. Acrylic is the generic name given to the type of plastic made from a chemical called methacrylate. There are many types of acrylic resins based on different types of methacrylate molecules, but their chemistry is similar. <P> Acrylic fabric is a type of fabric made from acrylic fibers, and was first manufactured by the DuPont Company. DuPont no longer manufactures acrylic fabric, but it is still widely manufactured throughout the world. <P> The majority of what we know as plastic today is made from materials that are extracted from crude oil. Often the same type of crude oil that is used to produce the fuels for cars. 1 There are many other types of polymer, both natural and synthetic: cellulose, starch, silicones, teflon, PVC, etc. <P> Like all plastics, acrylic plastics are polymers. The word polymer comes from the Greek words poly, meaning many, and meros, meaning a part. A polymer, therefore, is a material made up of many molecules, or parts, linked together like a chain. Polymers may have hundreds, or even thousands, of molecules linked together. <P> Background. Acrylic plastic refers to a family of synthetic, or man-made, plastic materials containing one or more derivatives of acrylic acid. The most common acrylic plastic is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is sold under the brand names of Plexiglas, Lucite, Perspex, and Crystallite. PMMA is a tough, highly transparent material with excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation and weathering. It can be colored, molded, cut, drilled, and formed. <P> The term acrylic is used for products that contain a substance derived from acrylic acid or a related compound. Most often, it is used to describe a clear, glass-like plastic known as poly(methyl) methacrylate (PMMA). <P> Acrylic fabric is used widely in knits, as upholstery covering, and the fibers may be woven to make rugs. People often think of acrylic fabric as an excellent wool substitute, and certain forms of it are exceptionally soft, while remaining lightweight. <P> Acrylic is synthetic material with a wide range of possible end uses.

what two processes are involved with the formation of a metamorphic rock
|
<P> Sedimentary rock formation begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth’s surface they begin the long slow but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock. <P> 2. Sedimentary Rocks: Formed in layers as the result of moderate pressure on accumulated sediments. 3. Metamorphic Rocks: Formed from older parent rock (either igneous or sedimentary) under intense heat and/or pressure at considerable depths beneath the earth's surface. <P> 1. Igneous Rocks: Formed from the cooling of molten rock. A. Volcanic igneous rocks formed from molten rock that cooled quickly on or near the earth's surface. B. Plutonic igneous rocks are the result of the slow cooling of molten rock far beneath the surface. 2. <P> Garnet Gneiss. Metamorphism often occurs on two scales: contact and regional. Contact metamorphism occurs relatively locally, in areas adjacent to igneous intrusions or in areas that are in contact with hot water known as hydrothermal fluids. <P> Best Answer: Your three rock types are sedimentary, metamorphic, igneous. Processes involved in sedimentary rock formation are erosion & deposition. Metamorphic rock formation involved uplift, tectonic activity. Igneous rocks form through processes of magma intrusion, volcanism. <P> Like most Earth materials, rocks are created and destroyed in cycles. The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. All rocks are made up of minerals. <P> Metamorphic rock is formed by the changing of a pre-existing rock, known as a protolith, into a new rock. The protolith, meaning 'first stone' in greek, can be igneous, sedimentary or another metamorphic rock. These changes happen without melting which is a characteristic of igneous rock formation. <P> Rock metamorphosis, or metamorphism, is the change in the crystalline components, chemical composition, or structure of rocks from exposure to intense pressure, heat, or exchange of ions through heated solutions.

<P> Saliva testing is much more specific and correctly identifies the level of hormones at the cellular level, in contrast to a serum (blood) test, which measures the level of hormones circulating in the bloodstream. Saliva testing is not helpful, however, to monitor women who are taking hormones in a sublingual (drops or spray) or tansmucosal (lozenge or troche) format. These forms of hormone delivery concentrate the hormones in the salivary glands and the resulting saliva levels are too high to be useful. <P> By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD. Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted directly into the blood, which carries them to organs and tissues of the body to exert their functions. There are many types of hormones that act on different aspects of bodily functions and processes. Some of these include: Hormones are secreted from the endocrine glands in the body. The glands are ductless, so hormones are secreted directly into the blood stream rather than by way of ducts. Some of the major endocrine glands in the body include: <P> A hormone (from Greek ὁρμή, impetus) is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour. Some hormones are completely active when released into the bloodstream (as is the case for insulin and growth hormones), while others must be activated in specific cells through a series of activation steps that are commonly highly regulated. <P> Hormones such as antidiuretic; a hormone produced in the pituitary gland causes the kidneys to keep hold of water and aldosterone which helps in the control of blood pressure, another example is renin found in the kidneys, renin plays a part in the control of blood pressure. Another example is, aldosterone, which belongs to a class of hormones called mineral corticoids, produced in the adrenal glands. Role of aldosterone is to help maintain blood pressure, water and salt levels balanced in the body. <P> The release of anti-diuretic hormone from the pituitary gland into the bloodstream is controlled by a number of factors. A decrease in blood volume or low blood pressure, which occurs during dehydration or a haemorrhage, is detected by sensors (receptors) in the heart and large blood vessels. <P> The endocrine system is a control system of ductless glands that secrete hormones within specific organs. Hormones act as messengers, and are carried by the bloodstream to different cells in the body, which interpret these messages and act on them. The endocrine system regulates its hormones through negative feedback, except in very specific cases like childbirth. Increases in hormone activity decrease the production of that hormone. The immune system and other factors contribute as control factors also, altogether maintaining constant levels of hormones. <P> The endocrine system includes all of the glands of the body and the hormones produced by those glands. The glands are controlled directly by stimulation from the nervous system as well as by chemical receptors in the blood and hormones produced by other glands. Many blood vessels surround the pituitary gland to carry the hormones it releases throughout the body. Situated in a small depression in the sphenoid bone called the sella turcica, the pituitary gland is actually made of 2 completely separate structures: the posterior and anterior pituitary glands. <P> When hormones are released by the endocrine glands into the blood stream, they target specific cells, tissues, or organs. Each target has specific receptors for the hormones, like fitting a key to a lock. The hypothalamus is an endocrine gland located in the lower middle of the brain. Most of the endocrine glands are controlled by feedback systems that avoid hormone imbalance. Hormones from one gland can target other glands and stimulate them to produce and release a different hormone into the blood, which in turn can affect different target tissues. <P> Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Controls production of sex hormones (estrogen in women and testosterone in men) and the production of eggs in women and sperm in men. Pituitary gland. Antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin). Affects water retention in kidneys; controls blood pressure. Pituitary gland. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

what is goiter on thyroid
|
<P> Goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland. The resulting bulge on the neck may become extremely large, but most simple goiters are brought under control before this happens. Occasionally a simple goiter may cause some difficulty in breathing and swallowing. <P> Goiter is a swelling (hypertrophy) of a gland in the neck called the thyroid gland. 1-3 The thyroid gland is situated in front of the windpipe and is responsible for producing and secreting hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. <P> Goiter (GOI-tur) is an abnormal enlargement of your thyroid gland. Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck just below your Adam's apple. Although goiters are usually painless, a large goiter can cause a cough and make it difficult for you to swallow or breathe. <P> Symptoms. Treatment. Another type, called toxic nodular goiter, results when one or more nodules, or adenomas, develop in the thyroid and trigger excess production of thyroid hormone. In short, a goiter is any enlargement of the thyroid gland. <P> A goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland. The thyroid gland, located in the front of your neck, makes thyroid hormones. When your thyroid gland is enlarged, it can produce too much, too little, or just enough thyroid hormone. <P> The term “goiter” simply refers to the abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland. It is important to know that the presence of a goiter does not necessarily mean that the thyroid gland is malfunctioning. A goiter can occur in a gland that is producing too much hormone (hyperthyroidism), too little hormone (hypothyroidism), or the correct amount of hormone (euthyroidism). A goiter indicates there is a condition present which is causing the thyroid to grow abnormally. <P> The term non-toxic goiter refers to enlargement of the thyroid that is not associated with overproduction of thyroid hormone or malignancy. The thyroid can become very large so that it can easily be seen as a mass in the neck.

what does a ribosome look like
|
<P> i know what it does and where it is in a cell, i just need to know what does it look like. answers plz!! Follow. 3 answers 3. Report Abuse. i know what it does and where it is in a cell, i just need to know what does it look like. answers plz!! Add your answer. <P> The polypeptide chain is released and the ribosome subunits are returned to the pool of ribosome units in the cytoplasm. Ribosomes are found in two locations in the cell. Free ribosomes are dispersed throughout the cytoplasm. Bound ribosomes are attached to a membranous structure called the endoplasmic reticulum. Found throughout the cell, ribosomes are composed of ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) and proteins. They are the sites of protein synthesis. Although Robert Hooke first used a light microscope to look at cells in 1665, it was only during the last few decades that the cell's organelles were discovered. <P> The subunits of ribosomes are produced in the nucleolus, which is located in the nucleus of the cell. Ribosomal proteins enter the nucleolus and combine with four rRNA strands to produce the two subunits. The subunits leave the nucleus through the nuclear pores and combine in the cytoplasm. slide 3 of 6. <P> Structure. The ribosome is made up of two parts, called subunits. The larger of the two subunits is where the amino acids get added to the growing protein chain. The small subunit is where the mRNA binds and is decoded. Each of the subunits is made up of both protein and ribonucleic acid (RNA) components. On a gross level, the ribosome looks something like an oyster with one of its shells somewhat smaller than the other. The two subunits are joined to each other by interactions between the rRNAs in one subunit and proteins in the other subunit. <P> Other ribosomes are found on the endoplasmic reticulum. Endoplasmic reticulum with attached ribosomes is called rough ER. It looks bumpy under a microscope. The attached ribosomes make proteins that will be used inside the cell and proteins made for export out of the cell. The mRNA is then sent out of the nucleus and to the ribosomes. When it is time to make the protein, the two subunits come together and combine with the mRNA. The subunits lock onto the mRNA and start the protein synthesis. The process of making proteins is quite simple. <P> The nucleolus is usually visible as a dark spot in the nucleus, and is the location of ribosome formation. Ribosomes are where RNA is translated into protein. This process is called protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is very important to cells, therefore large numbers of ribosomes are found in cells. Ribosomes float freely in the cytoplasm, and are also bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). <P> There are two different ways to describe this one: It depends on if you are talking about a eukarotic cell or a prokaryotic cell. All ribosomes consist of two unequal subunits. Prokaryotic is a total weight of 70S, with one unit being 30S and the other being 50S (they are not suppose to add up to 70). Eukaryotic ribosomes are a total weight of 80S with one unit being 40S and the other being 60S (again they are not suppose to add up to 80S). <P> Proteins even make up most of your hair. When a cell needs to make proteins, it looks for ribosomes. Ribosomes are the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell. They are like construction guys who connect one amino acid at a time and build long chains. Ribosomes are special because they are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The mRNA is then sent out of the nucleus and to the ribosomes. When it is time to make the protein, the two subunits come together and combine with the mRNA. The subunits lock onto the mRNA and start the protein synthesis. The process of making proteins is quite simple. <P> Ribosomes are like the steering wheel and the gas pedal. Ribosomes is the control between the nucleus and the cell. The gas pedal and the steering wheel is the control bet … ween the driver and the car. 2 people found this useful. Ribosomes are made of two subunits; one larger and one smaller. It is made up of proteins and has a globular shape. This is so that mRNA can pass through during translat … ion. 1 person

how long should stitches stay in dog's ears for cut
|
<P> Your doctor will give you instructions on how to care for your stitches or staples. Be sure to follow those instructions. Check with your doctor about how long you need to keep your wound dry. In some cases the bandage can be removed after 24 to 48 hours, and the wound can then be gently washed to remove the crust. Do not scrub or soak the wound during the first 48 hours. When deciding how long to leave your stitches or staples in place, your doctor will consider several factors, such as the location, depth, and size of your wound and your general health. Be sure to follow his or her instructions. Most of the time, stitches are removed: 1 From the face in 4 to 5 days. 2 From the hands and arms in 5 to 10 days. 3 From the feet, legs, chest, abdomen, and back in 7 to 14 days. 4 Over a joint in 7 to 14 day <P> If your dog's incision has non-dissolving skin stitches, stainless steel sutures, or stent sutures, they should usually be removed seven to fourteen days after the operation; the actual time depends on the type of surgery performed. Your veterinarian will tell you when the sutures can be removed from your dog. Under no circumstances should a dog with a fresh surgical incision be allowed to run off leash. Restrict your dog's activity for a period of 7-14 days, to allow the incision to begin healing. When you do take your dog outdoors, keep him or her on a short leash, and avoid long walks. <P> Report Abuse. Depends if they are dissolving or need to be removed. It should be about 10 days. If there is no dressing on the wound it should heal faster but you need to watch it and make sure there is no redness, swelling or smell. <P> Best Answer: It depends on what you mean by heal. The stitches will come out in about 1-2 weeks. The ears should stay taped for anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months depending on the breed and cut. The ears could take a while for them to stand up the way they are supposed to (I've seen it take up to a year) <P> Your doctor will give you instructions on how to care for your stitches or staples.

Your veterinarian will tell you when the sutures can be removed from your dog. <P> Report Abuse. It depends on many factors. If you have to have sutures, the doctor will tell you how long they have to stay in but the average is 5-10 days. Sometimes, it's longer...up to 2 weeks. Do NOT attempt to remove sutures on your own...this is something that needs to be done by a doctor. Faces; stitches must come out in 4-5 days because the skin heals so fast & would grow over the sutures. In the extremities & over joint lines we like 10 days due to the stress on the wound. Most others are 7 days. Some operations are different as deeper structures are involved. <P> If you cut through the ear cartilage, you should take the dog to the vet for stitches. If the cut starts to become very swollen, red, hot to the touch, painful, ooze any fluids or develops a bad smell, you need to take your dog to the vet for treatment-these are signs of an infection. If you accidentally cut your dog's ear, the first thing to do is get the bleeding stopped. If the cut is shallow, mild pressure (like you would put on one of your own fingers) … for a few minutes should get the bleeding to stop. After that, keep the area clean with saline or tap water (room temperature, preferably) and watch it for the next 3-5 days. It should heal up on it's ow

<P> Kennel Manager, Dog Boarding Salary. (United States). The average rate for a Kennel Manager, Dog Boarding is $11.68 per hour. Most people move on to other jobs if they have more than 20 years' experience in this field. <P> Good groomers can make much more money and you can offer your services to friends and family as well. Kennel assistants with no formal training get paid on average between $7.33 an hour and $10.01 an hour. This is not very much when you consider how much work goes into keeping animals clean, fed and looked after. Expect to clean out a lot of cages, change food and water and keep things as sanitary as possible. This is an ongoing project in any kennel. The simple fact is that keeping a pack of dogs indoors creates a lot of dirty and smelly waste. It is a dirty job being a kennel assistant, but someone has to do it. <P> For example the median expected annual pay for a typical Veterinary Assistant in the United States is $28,458 so 50% of the people who perform the job of Veterinary Assistant in the United States are expected to make less than $28,458.

Obviously this salary would vary according to state, county, years of experience and education, but the lowest in GA is roughly 70-75k a year...again, that is the lowest. Good salary, and good retirement....con is that you don't get as much time off. An assistant director can be in many different fields. Across most fields, they average around 75,000 a year. In movies or commercials, they can make hundreds of thousands … a year. <P> Salary Info. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicted jobs for nonfarm animal caretakers such as kennel assistants to increase at a rate of 15%, which is faster than the average of all occupations, during the years 2012-2022 (www.bls.gov). <P> Best Answer: Not much. Minimum wage in Ontario is $9.75 and will be going up to $10.25 in a few months. Expect that. Don't expect anymore than $13-14, and thats usually if you get in with a good company and are there for a while. I turned down a vet assistant job for 9.75 for a kennel job at 10.50, I like my kennel job. The assistant that was at this clinic was making $13 after being there for 4 years :S. Source(s): <P> The median expected salary for a typical Veterinary Assistant in the United States is $24,415. Vet Assistant make about $8-10 an hour. Vet TECHS make about $24,415.

what temperature should seedlings be kept at
|
<P> After germination, most seedlings grow best if the air temperature is below 70 degrees F. If temperatures are too warm (over 75), the seedlings will grow too fast and get weak and leggy. Most seedlings grow fine in air temperatures as low as 50 degrees, as long as soil temperature is maintained at about 65 to 70. <P> When the light is turned on, an ideal temperature for the cuttings and seedlings is between 68ºF and 77ºF (20ºC and 25ºC). As the plants get older they can evaporate a little bit more and the temperature may increase to a maximum of 82ºF (28ºC). <P> If temperature is kept consistently and sufficiently warm, your tomato seeds will usually germinate within 5 to 10 days. Best to keep temperature range 70 to 80F (21 to 27C). The lower the temperature the slower the germination. However, temperatures below 50F (10C) or above 95F (35C) are poor for <P> When grown indoors, seedlings do not develop the ability to handle temperature extremes or direct sunlight. Place them outdoors in partial shade for an hour or two the first day, 3 to 6 hours the second, and all day the third. By the fourth day, they should be able to handle direct sunlight for a few hours. <P> The temperature of the cannabis should not be excessively cold or hot. The best temperature range for cannabis is 24 to 30 C (70 to 86 F) when day or when artificial light is on. Temperatures above 31 C and under the temperature of 15.5 C seem to decrease (THC) tetrahydrocannabinol potency and sluggish growth. <P> Conversely, when plants are given high temperatures and only moderate light, the stems elongate. Plants growing under moderate intensity lamps (40-50 watts per sq ft, 430-540 watt per sq m) should be kept on the low side of the recommended temperature range. Plants growing under higher intensity lamps (60 watts per sq ft, 650 watts per sq m and higher) should be kept on the warmer end of the scale. <P> When CO2 is being used, the plant prefers to be a few degrees warmer, between 79° and 85° F (26°-29° C). Individual marijuana varieties differ in their temperature preferences by a few degrees, so some experimentation is required to find the ideal temperatures for the strain you are growing. <P> Temperature, Humidity & Air Quality. Marijuana grows well in moderate temperatures – between 70° and 85° F (21°-29° C). Both high and low temperatures slow marijuana’s rate of metabolism and growth. Plants grow fastest when the temperature during the lighted period is kept between 72° and 77° F (22 ° -26 ° C). <P> If you start seed 5 to 8 weeks before transplanting, your seedlings can grow in seed flats and will be about 10 inches tall at transplanting. If you start 8 to 12 weeks early, then plan on growing them in pots up to 12 inches diameter. Find out your last frost date by calling your co-operative extension agent.

what is the difference between turmeric and curcumin
|
<P> Curcumin is the active ingredient that comes from turmeric. Turmeric is a plant that is in the same family as ginger. The rhizomes (root stalks) of turmeric are used in cooking, particularly in curries. In traditional Asian medicine, turmeric is used to treat various conditions. Curcumin is extracted from turmeric for medicinal purposes. <P> Curcumin belongs to a family of chemicals known as curcuminoids, which are polyphenolic compounds that have a bright yellow color. The distinctive color of turmeric is due to the high levels of curcumin it contains. Laboratory and animal studies have demonstrated that curcumin has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties, reports an article published in 2007 in the medical journal Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. <P> The plant turmeric (Curcuma longa) is very well known in India. The root is harvested, cleaned, dried, and powdered to be used as a spice (turmeric gives curry its beautiful golden yellow color) and as a medicine. Traditionally, turmeric was used for nearly every health condition known-from smallpox to a sprained ankle. <P> The two words are sometimes used interchangeably, but the technical difference between the two is that turmeric is the yellowish powder used to flavor foods, while curcumin is a chemical contained within turmeric. <P> Turmeric is a spice from the root of the curcuma longa plant which is in the ginger family. It’s used as a spice, a dye, and as a medicine in many Southeast Asian cultures, especially in Ayurvedic medicine. It can be taken in many forms from capsules and liquids, powders like Organic Turmeric from Banyan Botanicals. <P> Turmeric is a spice that contains Curcumin, a chemical compound that has been found to have anti cancer properties. For centuries, turmeric has been used as an antibiotic in India to provide relief in wounds and cuts. It has great healing power and the ability to suck pain when taken orally mixing it with milk. <P> In addition to its use as a culinary spice, turmeric has been used traditionally in India as a disinfectant and treatment for laryngitis, bronchitis, and diabetes. Turmeric is derived from the rhizomes (underground stems) of the plant Curcuma longa, a member of the ginger family.

what is the average lifespan of a python
|
<P> The average lifespan of ball pythons in captivity is 20 years. Reports document the maximum lifespan in captivity ranges from 28 years (at the Oakland Zoo) up to 50 years (reported by the Philadelphia Zoo). <P> Snakes tend to have life spans in between turtles and lizards. Most snakes in captivity live 15 to 30 years. The oldest reported snake to date is a ball python that lived to be 47.5 years old at the Philadelphia Zoo. <P> Physical Characteristics: The ball python reaches a length of 3-6 feet and lives 20-30 years, if in captivity. While the average lifespan is 20 years, there is a ball python on record as being more than 47 years old. The ball python is a robust snake with a short tail. It exhibits rectilinear movement in order to crawl forward by pressing its body to the ground and using its muscles to propel forward. <P> Sometimes they can live longer but that is the average length of their lives. Ball Pythons life span. Ball pythons have a life span of 20 to 30 years. While that is the “average” there are many people who find their beloved pet to get much older. The oldest on record lived to the ripe old age of 48. That’s just shy of half a century! <P> Ball pythons can live 20-30 years in captivity. The oldest recorded ball python was 48 years old. Burmese python: over 25 years. Green tree python: around 20 years, longest recorded 28 years. <P> Boas have a life span of 25 to 30 years on average, but like all other snakes it isn’t unheard of for them to live longer. Burmese Python life span. The Burmese has a potential life span of 25+ years of age, but in captivity the average lifespan is closer to 10 years. The biggest reason for this is that people are simply not prepared to take care of an animal of this size.

where are your lungs located in your body
|
<P> 1 Just Breathe: Studies in Pulmonary Function The lungs move oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out into the air. 2 Pulmonary function studies are conducted to measure the effectiveness of your lung function. <P> Your heart is located under your ribcage in the center of your chest between your right and left lungs. Its muscular walls beat, or contract, pumping blood to all parts of your body. <P> The organs of your body that allow you to breathe are called your lungs. You have twoof them that work together, located in your chest inside the rib cage. The main purpose of your lungs is to breathe in good air and breathe out bad air. The good air contains oxygen, which your body needs. <P> After absorbing oxygen, the blood leaves the lungs and is carried to your heart. Your heart then pumps it through your body to provide oxygen to the cells of your tissues and organs. As the cells use the oxygen, carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed into the blood. Your blood then carries the carbon dioxide back to your lungs, where it is removed from the body when you exhale. <P> The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax). The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles), finally becoming microscopic. <P> Your heart is located between your lungs in the middle of your chest, behind and slightly to the left of your breastbone (sternum). A double-layered membrane called the pericardium surrounds your heart like a sac. <P> The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax).

when did humans arrive in europe
|
<P> A map of early human migrations. Homo sapiens seem to have appeared in East Africa around 200,000 years ago. The oldest individuals found left their marks in the Omo remains (195,000 years ago) and the Homo sapiens idaltu (160,000 years ago), that was found at the Middle Awash site in Ethiopia. The expansion of modern human population is thought to have begun 45,000 years ago, and may have taken 15,000-20,000 years for Europe to be colonized. During this time the Neanderthals were slowly being displaced. <P> Modern Man (Homo sapiens sapiens) arrived relatively recently in Europe (~40,000 years ago) compared to colonization that occurred in South East Asia and Australia which date back more than 55,000 years ago. So when modern humans decided to look west rather than east while pondering their future in a cold Central Asia they would have found Europe already occupied by Homo neanderthalensis, who had separated from the main evolutionary line some 500 <P> Early human migrations and expansions of archaic and modern humans across continents began 2 million years ago with the migration out of Africa of Homo erectus. This was followed by the migrations of other pre-modern humans including H. heidelbergensis, the likely ancestor of both modern humans and Neanderthals. The expansion of modern human population is thought to have begun 45,000 years ago, and may have taken 15,000-20,000 years for Europe to be colonized. During this time the Neanderthals were slowly being displaced. <P> Modern Human beings evolved in Africa from a variety of hominid species over a few million years. The first humans to leave the African continent were Homo erectus (upright man), who migrated northeast about 2 million years ago when present day deserts were grassland. So when modern humans decided to look west rather than east while pondering their future in a cold Central Asia they would have found Europe already occupied by Homo neanderthalensis, who had separated from the main evolutionary line some 500,000 years ago. <P> A+E Networks. The Black Death arrived in Europe by sea in October 1347 when 12 Genoese trading ships docked at the Sicilian port of Messina after a long journey through the Black Sea. <P> View. comments. The first modern humans to arrive in Europe and Asia migrated north out of Egypt around 55,000 years ago, according to new genetic research. The study has answered a long standing question about the route early Homo sapiens took when spreading from the African continent. 1 Scientists have proposed two routes for how Homo sapiens spread out of Africa between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago-through Egypt or Ethiopia. 2 The researchers found people living in Europe and Asia are more closely related to those living in Egypt than they are to those from Ethiopia. <P> These findings might give some support to the claim that modern humans from Africa arrived at southern China about 100,000 years BP (Zhiren Cave, Zhirendong, Chongzuo City: 100,000 years BP; and the Liujiang hominid (Liujiang County): controversially dated at 139,000–111,000 years BP). The expansion of modern human population is thought to have begun 45,000 years ago, and may have taken 15,000-20,000 years for Europe to be colonized. During this time the Neanderthals were slowly being displaced. <P> From the Near East, some of these people went east to South Asia by 50,000 years ago, and on to Australia by 46,000 years ago at the latest, when for the first time H. sapiens reached territory never reached by H. erectus. The expansion of modern human population is thought to have begun 45,000 years ago, and may have taken 15,000-20,000 years for Europe to be colonized. During this time the Neanderthals were slowly being displaced. <P> Modern humans and Neandertals existed side-by-side in Europe for example for perhaps 15,000 years before the earlier species became extinct. Our modern ancestors probably first left Africa about 100,000 years ago when water levels were low enough to allow easy passage across the mouth of the Red Sea. So when modern humans decided to look west rather than east while pondering their future in a cold Central Asia they would have found Europe already occupied by Homo neanderthalensis, who had separated from the main evolutionary line some 500,000 years ago. <P> All people today are classified as Homo sapiens. Our species of humans first began to evolve nearly 200,000 years ago in association with technologies not unlike those of the early Neandertals. It is now clear that early Homo sapiens, or modern humans, did not come after the Neandertals but were their contemporaries. The first fossils of early modern humans to be identified were found in 1868 at the 27,000-23,000 year old Cro-Magnon rock shelter site near the village of Les Eyzies in southwestern France. They were subsequently named the Cro-Magnon people. They were very similar in appearance to modern Europeans.

what is median salary
|
<P> An average is just one measure of central tendency for any set of data. Another measure is a median. For our wage data, the median wage (or net compensation) is the wage in the middle.. That is, half of the workers earned below this level. The table below shows that the median wage is substantially less than the average wage. <P> In 2013, Gallup published a list of countries with median household income. Using median, rather than mean income, results in a much more accurate picture of the average income of the middle class since the data will not be skewed by gains and abnormalities in the extreme ends. 1 Based on analysis on US median household income, median household money income during the 2006-2012 period had an average (but not median) of $53,836, therefore by comparison the Gallup result is underreported and is even below the Census' own figures. <P> By Alison Doyle. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median wage for workers in the United States at the end of September 2014 was $790 per week or $41,080 per year for a 40 hour work week. Wages were 2.5% higher than at the same date for the previous year. <P> Median vs. Mean. Median is often confused with another statistic called the mean, or average. The mean of a data set is equal to the sum of all the data values divided by the total number of values in the data set. Consider a data set consisting of the following numbers: 1, 8, 9, 10 and 12. For example, if there are 49 singers in the economy that make $30,000 a year and one superstar singer that makes $10 million a year, the average income of all singers in the economy is $229,400. <P> Median income is the amount which divides the income distribution into two equal groups, half having income above that amount, and half having income below that amount. Mean income (average) is the amount obtained by dividing the total aggregate income of a group by the number of units in that group. While the median annual household income for a household with a householder having an associate degree was $51,970, the median annual household income for householders with a bachelor's degree or higher was $73,446. <P> (March 2015). Median income is the amount that divides the income distribution into two equal groups, half having income above that amount, and half having income below that amount. Mean income (average) is the amount obtained by dividing the total aggregate income of a group by the number of units in that group. 1 Based on analysis on US median household income, median household money income during the 2006-2012 period had an average (but not median) of $53,836, therefore by comparison the Gallup result is underreported and is even below the Census' own figures. <P> The median salary is less likely than the average salary to be skewed by outliers, for example an extremely high salary or an extremely low salary that may be earned by only a few people. Common Misspellings: medien. Share. By Dawn Rosenberg McKay. Definition: If you lined up, in order from highest to lowest or lowest to highest, all the salaries of people working in a particular occupation, the median salary is the one that falls at the midpoint of that range. <P> One key measure is the real median level, meaning half of households have income above that level and half below, adjusted for inflation. According to the Federal Reserve, this measure was $51,939 in 2013, below the 1999 peak of around $57,000. While the median annual household income for a household with a householder having an associate degree was $51,970, the median annual household income for householders with a bachelor's degree or higher was $73,446.

how fast do bears run
|
<P> 1 Bears are incredibly fast (black bears and grizzlies can run as fast as a horse, about 50 km/h), so do not try to race a bear to a tree—you will lose. 2 This approach is usually only viable if you are right next to the tree, and you’re a good climber. <P> Black bears are surefooted and graceful and run at speeds up to 25-30 mph which is about 40-50 km/h. The average walking speed of a polar bear is 5.5 kph (3.4 mph)When being chased or charging prey, polar bears can run as fast as 40 kph (25 mph) for short distances. <P> Answer by Nithun Puvirajasingam. Confidence votes 109. Black bears are surefooted and graceful and run at speeds up to 25-30 mph which is about 40-50 km/h. Young, lean black bears may run up to 30 mph (48 km/hr), but average bears are more dangerous for their strength than their speed. So if you are camping or hiking and you do encounter a black bear, then you shouldn't run because the bear can run faster. The average walking speed of a polar bear is 5.5 kph (3.4 mph)When being chased or charging prey, polar bears can run as fast as 40 kph (25 mph) for short distances. <P> How Fast can a Grizzly Bear Run. Grizzly bears are able to run as fast as 55 km per hour. They seem to be more active at dawn and dusk, but may come out any time. Grizzly bears also share the same area of food provided the food is good enough to feed all of them. <P> The fastest bear is the Black Bear, followed by the Brown Bear, and the Polar Bear. In short, the larger the bear the slower it is. Keep in mind that even the slowest bear can still move it out at about 30 mph. The average walking speed of a polar bear is 5.5 kph (3.4 mph)When being chased or charging prey, polar bears can run as fast as 40 kph (25 mph) for short distances. <P> Les. Brown bears-are extremely fast, capable of running in short bursts as high as of 40 mph (64 km/h). Polar bears-have been clocked at a top speed of 35 mph (56 km/h), along a a road in Churchill, Canada. Grizzly bears-can reach top speeds of up to 30 mph (48km/h), but they can't maintain that speed for very long. American Black bears-can reach running speeds of up to 25 mph (40km/h). <P> all i know is that a full grown bear can run as fast as a horse so i imagine it could run 100 meters pretty fast. A bear can run 100 yards in 6 seconds, over uneven ground! A … bear can out run, out swim and out climb a man. The average walking speed of a polar bear is 5.5 kph (3.4 mph)When being chased or charging prey, polar bears can run as fast as 40 kph (25 mph) for short distances. <P> Young, lean black bears may run up to 30 mph (48 km/hr), but average bears … are more dangerous for their strength than their speed. So if you are camping or hiking and you do encounter a black bear, then you shouldn't run because the bear can run faster. The best advice is to seek shelter or assistance. The average walking speed of a polar bear is 5.5 kph (3.4 mph)When being chased or charging prey, polar bears can run as fast as 40 kph (25 mph) for short distances.

what is a 'score'
|
<P> DEFINITION of 'Z-Score'. A Z-Score is a statistical measurement of a score's relationship to the mean in a group of scores. A Z-score of 0 means the score is the same as the mean. A Z-score can also be positive or negative, indicating whether it is above or below the mean and by how many standard deviations. <P> SCORE may refer to: 1 SCORE (software) , a music scorewriter program. 2 SCORE (Spain) , a free general sports magazine. 3 SCORE (television) , a defunct joint television network. 4 SCORE! Educational Centers. <P> 5 Years of SCORE Prize. SCORE Prize celebrates Tennessee schools and districts that are leaders in student learning. Tickets are free and include a special musical performance by Charles Esten, who stars as Deacon on ABC's Nashville. <P> Your FICO Scores only look at information in your credit report. Your credit score is calculated from your credit report. However, lenders look at many things when making a credit decision such as your income, how long you have worked at your present job and the kind of credit you are requesting. <P> South Correctional Entity. ***TRAFFIC ALERT DUE TO CONSTRUCTION***. Construction crews have reduced S 200th Street to the east of SCORE's entrance to one lane during normal business hours. Allow extra time for construction delays if coming to the facility during normal business hours. SCORE (South Correctional Entity) is a jail in Des Moines, Washington serving the confinement needs of 7 Member Cities and a number of contract agencies with a total capacity of 802 inmates. <P> BREAKING DOWN 'FICO Score'. Using mathematical models, the FICO score takes into account various factors in each of these five areas to determine credit risk: payment history, current level of indebtedness, types of credit used and length of credit history, and new credit. DEFINITION of 'FICO Score'. A type of credit score that makes up a substantial portion of the credit report that lenders use to assess an applicant's credit risk and whether to extend a loan. FICO is an acronym for the Fair Isaac Corporation, the creators of the FICO score. Next Up. <P> score. 1. the record of points or strokes made by the competitors in a game or contest. 2. the total points or strokes made by one side or competitor. 3. the performance of an individual or group on an examination or test, expressed by a number or other symbol. 4. a notch, scratch, or incision. <P> Standard Score. The standard score (more commonly referred to as a z-score) is a very useful statistic because it (a) allows us to calculate the probability of a score occurring within our normal distribution and (b) enables us to compare two scores that are from different normal distributions. Standard Normal Distribution and Standard Score (z-score). When a frequency distribution is normally distributed, we can find out the probability of a score occurring by standardising the scores, known as standard scores (or z scores).

what are organelles discrete structures found inside all cells that have a specific function
|
<P> Voyage inside the cell. Two types of cells that make up all living things on earth: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells (check this video) , like bacteria, have no 'nucleus', while eukaryotic cells, like those of the human body, do. So, a human cell is enclosed by a cell, or plasma, membrane. Enclosed by that membrane is the cytoplasm (with associated organelles) plus a nucleus. Structure of a typical bacterium (prokaryote) (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokaryote). <P> Nucleus. The nucleus is one of the most important organelles in a cell. It is often the largest organelle in animal cells, but this is not always the case. Nuclei contain the genetic material called DNA that is responsible for controlling and directing all cell activities. Ribosomes. Ribosomes are small structures made of RNA and Protein that function in protein synthesis to create proteins for the cell out of amino acids. They are formed in the nucleolus, which is found inside the nucleus. <P> Membrane Bound Organelles. 1 The Nucleus is the largest organelle in a cell. 2 It contains a dense structure called the Nucleolus and is surrounded by the Nuclear Envelope, a structure composed of two membranes, seperated by fluid, which contain a number of nuclear pores that can allow relatively large molecules through. 1 These structures are called Organelles. 2 The fine detail of the cell (which may be revealed by an electron microscope) is called the cell's ultrastructure. 3 Organelles perform different functions within a cell, and this is called the Division of Labour. <P> 1 Organisms are composed of cells, and these cells have specific structures within in them that allow them to carry out their functions. 2 These structures are called Organelles. 3 The fine detail of the cell (which may be revealed by an electron microscope) is called the cell's ultrastructure. 1 These structures are called Organelles. 2 The fine detail of the cell (which may be revealed by an electron microscope) is called the cell's ultrastructure. 3 Organelles perform different functions within a cell, and this is called the Division of Labour. <P> Image: Specialised organelles.

The nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts are all <P> In cell biology, an organelle /ɔrɡəˈnɛl/ is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function. Individual organelles are usually separately enclosed within their own lipid bilayers. The name organelle comes from the idea that these structures are to cells what an organ is to the body (hence the name organelle, the suffix-elle being a diminutive). <P> Specialised organelles. Some cell types have their own specialised organelles that carry out functions that aren’t required by all cells. Here are just a few of the specialised organelles that we know about: 1 Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and other organisms that conduct photosynthesis (such as algae). Every cell in your body contains organelles (structures that have specific functions). Just like organs in the body, each organelle contributes in its own way to helping the cell function well as a whole.

They are formed in the nucleolus, which is found inside the nucleus. <P> Organelles and Their Functions. The nucleus is arguably the most important organelle in the cell. It is the control center, telling all of the other organelles what to do and when to do it. The nucleus also contains all of the cell's genetic material, or its DNA.

parkinson's disease is a disorder affecting what
|
<P> Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders. It is both chronic, meaning it persists over a long period of time, and progressive, meaning its symptoms grow worse over time. PD is the most common form of parkinsonism [1] , in which disorders of other causes produce features and symptoms that closely resemble Parkinson’s disease. While most forms of parkinsonism have no known cause, there are cases in which the cause is known or suspected or where the symptoms result from another disorder. <P> Parkinson's disease is a fairly common neurological disorder in older adults, estimated to affect nearly 2 percent of those older than age 65. The National Parkinson Foundation estimates that 1 million Americans have Parkinson's disease. 1 The diagnosis is Parkinson's disease dementia when a person is originally diagnosed with Parkinson's based on movement symptoms and dementia symptoms don't appear until a year or more later. 2 The diagnosis is dementia with Lewy bodies when: 3 When dementia symptoms appear within one year after movement symptoms. <P> Parkinson's disease (or, simply, Parkinson's or PD) is the most common form of parkinsonism, a group of motor system disorders. It is a slowly progressing, degenerative disease that is usually associated with the following symptoms, all of which result from the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells: <P> Parkinson's disease (PD, also known as idiopathic or primary parkinsonism, hypokinetic rigid syndrome (HRS), or paralysis agitans) is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system mainly affecting the motor system. Parkinson's disease is more common in older people, with most cases occurring after the age of 50; when it is seen in young adults, it is called young onset PD (YOPD). The main motor symptoms are collectively called parkinsonism, or a parkinsonian syndrome. <P> Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder that occurs when certain neurons in the brain die or become impaired. These nerve cells, located in a midbrain structure that controls muscle movement, produce dopamine, the chemical responsible for coordinated muscle function. <P> Parkinson's disease affects the way you move. It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain. Normally, these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine. Dopamine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement. <P> A Brain Disorder. Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that leads to shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with walking, balance, and coordination. It affects about half a million people in the United States although the numbers may be much higher. The average age of onset is 60 years, and the risk of developing Parkinson's goes up with age. Click for more information. Parkinson's disease was first described in 1817 by James Parkinson, a British doctor who published a paper on what he called the shaking palsy.. <P> Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Neurology & Neurosurgery hospital in the nation for 2015-2016 by U.S. News & World Report. Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. It develops gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinson's disease, the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement. In the early stages of Parkinson's disease, your face may show little or no expression, or your arms may not swing when you walk. Your speech may become soft or slurred <P> Parkinson's disease is a neurological movement or motor system disorder affecting approximately 1 million people in the United States. The most common symptoms of Parkinson's disease are tremor or trembling, gait, bradykinesia, or slowness of movement, instability in posture, and speech problems. Despite the fact that the Parkinson's disease was first described nearly 200 years ago, its cause remains a mystery. Doctors and researchers do know that this disease is associated with a loss of the neurochemical dopamine in the brain.

what is a panda
|
<P> The red panda, sometimes called the lesser panda, is a raccoon-sized mammal that lives in the same kind of habitat as giant pandas but over a larger area in Asia. Its fur is reddish and it eats bamboo. Red pandas are not related to giant pandas. As few as 1,864 giant pandas live in their native habitat, while another 300 pandas live in zoos and breeding centers around the world. The Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute is a leader in giant panda conservation. <P> The giant panda is listed as endangered in the World Conservation Union's (IUCN's) Red List of Threatened Species. There are about 1,600 left in the wild. More than 300 pandas live in zoos and breeding centers around the world, mostly in China. Giant pandas live in broadleaf and coniferous forests with a dense understory of bamboo, at elevations between 5,000 and 10,000 feet. Torrential rains or dense mist throughout the year characterizes these forests, often shrouded in heavy clouds <P> Physical Description: The giant panda, a black-and-white bear, has a body typical of bears. It has black fur on ears, eye patches, muzzle, legs, and shoulders. The rest of the animal's coat is white. Giant pandas live in broadleaf and coniferous forests with a dense understory of bamboo, at elevations between 5,000 and 10,000 feet. Torrential rains or dense mist throughout the year characterizes these forests, often shrouded in heavy clouds <P> Giant pandas are bears that are native to China, where they are considered a national treasure. Even with this exalted status, giant pandas are endangered: only about 1,600 live in the wild, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). <P> Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the giant panda's diet is over 99% bamboo. Giant pandas in the wild will occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents or carrion. The giant panda's tail, measuring 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in), is the second-longest in the bear family. (The longest belongs to the sloth bear .). The giant panda typically lives around 20 years in the wild and up to 30 years in captivity. The oldest captive, a female named Ming Ming, had a recorded age of 34. <P> Pandas are about the size of the American black bear. An adult panda is typically 1.5 meters long (4 - 5 feet) and weighs about 75 to 135 kilograms (165 to 353 pounds). Males are 10% to 20% heavier than females. Pandas live between 18 to 25 years in the wild. <P> The giant panda is a highly specialized animal with unique adaptations, and has lived in bamboo forests for millions of years. The average giant panda eats as much as 9 to 14 kg (20 to 30 lb) of bamboo shoots a day to compensate for its low level of energy digestibility. The giant panda's tail, measuring 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in), is the second-longest in the bear family. (The longest belongs to the sloth bear .).

what dosage of cytomel for weight loss
|
<P> Tiromel is an weight loss drug, it is also known as Cytomel. This drug is manufactured by Abdi Ibrahim. Tiromel is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid but a thyroid hormone. Generally one 25 mcg tablet is taken on the first day, and the dosage is thereafter increased by one tablet every three of four days for a maximum dosage of 100 mcg. This will help the body adjust to the increased thyroid hormone, hopefully avoiding any sudden shock to the system. <P> Before that I was on synthroid for 6 years with again what seemed like normal thyroid levels but I still had meny of the symptoms of hypothyroid, fatigue, weakness, weight gain, increased difficulty losing weight, coarse, dry hair, dry, rough pale skin, hair loss and major cold intolerance. Please tell me that the Cytomel. Read More. It’s is just that I never got relief from hypothyroid symptoms on just 75 mcg of T4 Levoxyl – fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, coarse, dry hair, hair loss, constipation, depression, increased cholesterol, and constant sweating. <P> Read More. Hi Free Bird82 Can't answer about Cytomel but about the weight loss, after 1 week of exercising and watching what you eat. Many people won't lose the pounds straight away as the exercise is building muscle and muscle weighs more than fat (some people even put on weight to begin with!). Please tell me that the Cytomel. Read More. It’s is just that I never got relief from hypothyroid symptoms on just 75 mcg of T4 Levoxyl – fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, coarse, dry hair, hair loss, constipation, depression, increased cholesterol, and constant sweating. <P> Cytomel. Cytomel, a brand name for liothyronine, is used to treat hypothyroidism, and sometimes to diagnose hyperthyroidism. Each pill contains either 5, 10 or 25 mcg or liothyronine. The typical starting dose is usually 25 mcg, with a gradual increase until you are taking 75 mcg to 125 mcg daily. Cytomel does not have any reported side effects aside from hyperthyoidism symptoms, which only occur if you are taking too much of it. While they do cause weight loss, these drugs should not be used to help you lose weight if you have normal thyroid function. This is because your risk of developing adverse effects is greater than any weight loss benefits you may receive. <P> I take 88 mcg Synthroid every day and 5 mcg Cytomel 3x per day (15 mcg a day.) My endo told me to space the dosage of Cytomel every 5 hours-EX: 8:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. I take 88 mcg of Synthroid every day and 5 mcg Cytomel 3x a day (15 mcg a day.) I space my doses out as follows: Synthroid - 6:00 a.m. Cytomel - 8:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. This is perfect for me. I began taking 5 mcg a day and slowly moved up to 15 after about 5 months. I didn't do well on Synthroid alone <P> by reviewsfat Leave a Comment. Cytomel is a trademark for Liothyronine Sodium, a thyroid gland hormone which is used to help individuals with thyroid problems in which can result in weight problems,chronic tiredness, and troubles with metabolic process. Cytomel dosage should be kept in control and really should never be used over long time period. The product generally is available in bottles of one hundred pills at 25 mcgs each. A lot of people start by having one 25mcg pill every day and slowly increasing Cytomel dosage every 3 to 4 days by one additional pill. Cytomel is really a thyroid medicament and must never be taken for weight loss needs, because it could cause hyperthyroidism that could be extremely risky <P> Save. Cytomel is a synthetic thyroid hormone used medically to treat hypothyroidism. It is not recommended for weight loss or to treat obesity, and its use may cause a number of detrimental side effects. 1 The Best Thyroid Medication for Weight Loss. <P> Read More.

<P> 1 Median. 2 The median of a set of numbers is the number in the middle. 3 For example, in the set of numbers {4,6,25}, the median is 6. 4 However the numbers must be in order for the median to be in the middle. 1 For example, in the set of numbers {4,6,25}, the median is 6. 2 However the numbers must be in order for the median to be in the middle. <P> The mean is the average of the numbers: a calculated central value of a set of numbers. To calculate: Just add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. <P> b. The average of the two middle numbers, when such a sequence has an even number of values. For example, in the sequence 4, 8, 10, 56, the median is 9 (the average of 8 and 10). Compare arithmetic mean, average, mode. 2. A line joining a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. 3. the middle number in a given sequence of numbers, or the average of the middle two numbers when the sequence has an even number of numbers: 4 is the median of 1, 3, 4, 8, 9. 4. a straight line from a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. 5. <P> more ... The middle number (in a sorted list of numbers). To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number. Example: find the Median of {13, 23, 11, 16, 15, 10, 26}. Put them in order: {10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 23, 26} The middle number is 15, so the median is 15 <P> 1 The median of a set of numbers is the number in the middle. 2 For example, in the set of numbers {4,6,25}, the median is 6. 3 However the numbers must be in order for the median to be in the middle. 4 If there are an even number of numbers, then the median is the average of the last 2 middle numbers. 1 For example, in the set of numbers {4,6,25}, the median is 6. 2 However the numbers must be in order for the median to be in the middle. <P> Median is the middle data value of an ordered data set. 1 If there are two middle values, then the median is the mean of the two numbers. 1 The middle numbers from the above data set are 30 and 31. 2 As there are two middle numbers we have to find the mean of those numbers. = = 3 30.5. 4 So, 30.5 is the median (middle value) of the data set 33, 30, 42, 22, 18, and 31. <P> Arithmetic Median Definition: Median is the middle value of the given numbers or distribution in their ascending order.Median is the average value of the two middle elements when the size of the distribution is even. <P> The mean is the average you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. The median is the middle value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order, so you may have to rewrite your list first. The mode is the value that occurs most often. If no number is repeated, then there is no mode for the list. The range is just the difference between the largest and smallest values. Just remember the following: mean: regular meaning of average median: middle value mode: most often. (In the above, I've used the term average rather casually. The technical definition of average is the arithmetic mean: adding up the values and then dividing by the number of values. <P> 1 If there are two middle values, then the median is the mean of the two numbers. 2 There will be two middle values when the number of values in the data set is even. 1 The middle numbers from the above data set are 30 and 31. 2 As there are two middle numbers we have to find the mean of those numbers. = = 3 30.5. 4 So, 30.5 is the median (middle value) of the data set 33, 30, 42, 22, 18, and 31.

what means HSPF?
|
<P> Thus, a system which delivers an HSPF of 7.7 will transfer 2.25 times as much heat as electricity consumed over a season. In Europe the term Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF) is used to mean the same as the average COP over the heating season. The higher the HSPF rating of a unit, the more energy efficient it is. HSPF is a ratio of BTU heat output over the heating season to watt-hours of electricity used. It has units of BTU/watt-hr. Depending on the system, an HSPF ≥ 8 can be considered high efficiency and worthy of a US Energy Tax Credit. <P> The efficiency of air conditioners are often rated by the HSPF as defined by the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute in its standard 210/240 Performance Rating of Unitary Air-Conditioning and Air-Source Heat Pump Equipment. The higher the HSPF rating of a unit, the more energy efficient it is. HSPF is a ratio of BTU heat output over the heating season to watt-hours of electricity used. It has units of BTU/watt-hr. Depending on the system, an HSPF ≥ 8 can be considered high efficiency and worthy of a US Energy Tax Credit. <P> HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) is a term used in the heating and cooling industry. HSPF is specifically used to measure the efficiency of air source heat pumps. The higher the HSPF rating of a unit, the more energy efficient it is. HSPF is a ratio of BTU heat output over the heating season to watt-hours of electricity used. It has units of BTU/watt-hr. Depending on the system, an HSPF ≥ 8 can be considered high efficiency and worthy of a US Energy Tax Credit. <P> You have probably stumble in this heating and air acronym when charged to select equipment for heating and air conditioning. Let’s get started by quoting from Wikipedia : HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) is a term used in the heating and cooling industry. HSPF is specifically used to measure the efficiency of air source heat pumps. Depending on the system, an HSPF ≥ 8 can be considered high efficiency and worthy of a US Energy Tax Credit. For a heat pump delivering 120,000,000 Btu during the season when consuming 15,000 kWh the HSPF can be calculated as HSPF = 120000000 (Btu) / (15000 (kWh) x1000) = HSPF = 8. <P> HSPF. HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. The Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) is used to measure the efficiency of heat pump. The HSPF is a ratio of the heat output to electricity use over an average heating season, and the higher the HSPF the greater the energy efficiency. <P> They needed a universal standard of measurement to determine the energy efficiency of HVAC units. These measurements are in SEER (central air conditioner units, Heat Pump cooling season), EER (window unit), HSPF (Heat Pump), AFUE (Furnace, boilers) and COP (heat pump, chiller). <P> more HVAC definitions. HSPF is an abbreviation for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. It is the most commonly used measure of the heating efficiency of heat pumps. (The cooling efficiency of a heat pump is measured by its SEER .). Technically speaking, the HSPF is a heat pump's estimated seasonal heating output in BTUs divided by the amount of energy that it consumes in watt-hours. A heat pump with a high HSPF is more efficient than a heat pump with a low HSPF. New heat pumps manufactured after 2005 are required to have an HSPF of at least 7.7. The most efficient heat pumps have an HSPF of 10. <P> HSPF –. HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor and is primarily used to measure the heating efficiency of heat pumps and ductless heat pumps, although it is also used (somewhat confusingly) to describe the overall heating and cooling capabilities of a system. HSPF, SEER, and AFUE – Demystifying Efficiency Ratings. The world of heating and cooling certainly has its fair share of tricky technical language, which can make it difficult for consumers to make an informed decision when buying new equipment. <P> Le 6 June 2012 By Melissa Dupuis. HSPF is an acronym that stands for “Heating Seasonal Performance Factor”. HSPF is a rating like SEER but instead of being a rating used to measure the efficiency of a cooling system, it is a rating to measure specifically the heating efficiency of a heat pump. A heat pump has both a SEER and an HSPF rating since it can both cool and heat a building. 1 In 2012, the highest HSPF rating on a heat pump is approximately 13. 2 If you refer to the chart below, you can save approximately $200 if you own a 9 HSPF heat pump versus owning a 7 HSPF heat pump. 3 Note that it is with a 3 ton heat pump with an average electricity rate of $0.086 (Quebec base rate is approx $0.0751). <P> Heat Pumps are rate with two energy efficiency: HSPF is a measurement of Heat pump’s energy efficiency over one heating season and the cooling efficiency of Heat Pump is measuring with Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating over one cooling season. These measurements are in SEER (central air conditioner units, Heat Pump cooling season), EER (window unit), HSPF (Heat Pump), AFUE (Furnace, boilers) and COP (heat pump, chiller).

what does a radiologist see
|
<P> Radiologists communicate the results of diagnostic and interventional imaging to the doctor who has sent you for the test or procedure, by a written report sent to your doctor. Sometimes, the radiologist will discuss the report verbally (e.g. over the telephone) with your doctor too. Radiologists can choose to work in various sub-specialties of radiology such as breast imaging, interventional radiology, musculoskeletal imaging, cardiac imaging, or paediatric (children’s) imaging. <P> A radiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury by using medical imaging technologies, such as MRI and CT. A radiologist who is certified by the American Board of Radiology will clearly meet this recommendation (all Inland Imaging radiologists are board certified). In its practice guidelines, the ACR defines alternative pathways for physician qualification. <P> Radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging to diagnose and treat diseases seen within the body. Interventional radiology is the performance of (usually minimally invasive) medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies. The acquisition of medical imaging is usually carried out by the radiographer, often known as a radiologic technologist. <P> Radiologists physicians are usually board certified by the American Board of Radiology (for a doctor of medicine) or the American Osteopathic Board of Radiology (for an osteopathic doctor); an indication of a high level of training, and demonstrated excellence in the field. Radiologists graduate from accredited medical schools, pass a licensing examination, and then go on to complete a residency of at least four years of unique post-graduate medical education in, among other topics: 1 Radiation safety and protection. <P> Interventional radiology (IR), also known as vascular and interventional radiology (VIR) or surgical radiology, is an independent medical specialty, which was a sub-specialty of radiology until recently, that uses minimally invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system. <P> Radiologists are usually board certified, that is, have taken and passed an examination and are thus approved to practice in the field by either the American Board of Radiology (for a medical doctor) or the American Osteopathic Board of Radiology (for an osteopathic doctor). Chest Radiology The radiology subspecialty devoted to diagnostic imaging and diagnosis of diseases of the chest, especially the heart and lungs. This includes x-rays, CT (computed tomography or CAT), Ultrasound, MRI and chest procedures, such as lung biopsy and thoracentesis or drainage of fluid from the chest. <P> Generally, a radiologist: A radiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury by using medical imaging technologies, such as MRI and CT. Radiologists also treat diseases, such as cancer or heart disease, by means of radiation or minimally invasive, image-guided surgery. Radiologists are often able to see problems early by interpreting the results of your imaging study and can provide an accurate diagnosis to your referring physician. A radiologist who is certified by the American Board of Radiology will clearly meet this recommendation (all Inland Imaging radiologists are board certified). In its practice guidelines, the ACR defines alternative pathways for physician qualification. <P> Radiologists use a variety of imaging techniques such as X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose and/or treat diseases. Interventional radiology is the performance of (usually minimally invasive) medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies. The acquisition of medical imaging is usually carried out by the radiographer, often known as a radiologic technologist. <P> A radiologist is a medical doctor that uses technology, computers, medical imaging and medical equipment like MRI, computed tomography (CT Scans), and ultrasound to assist other doctors in figuring out issues related to their patients' medical conditions. The radiologist performs many procedures as part of the interventional radiology doctrine. Examples include drainage of an abscess using ultrasound or CT Scan, stopping a bleed by blocking the vessel that is bleeding, extracting urinary stones and unclogging the urinary system, and treating aneurysms in the brain. <P> The majority of radiologists also complete a fellowship — one to two additional years of specialized training in a particular subspecialty of radiology, such as breast imaging, cardiovascular radiology or nuclear medicine. 1 Radiation safety/protection. RadiologyInfo.org is not a medical facility. Please contact your physician with specific medical questions or for a referral to a radiologist or other physician.

how long does it take a hamstring to heal
|
<P> The length of time it takes to recover from a hamstring strain or tear will depend on how severe the injury is. A minor muscle pull or strain (grade 1) may take a few days to heal, whereas it could take weeks or months to recover from a muscle tear (grade 2 or 3). <P> Hamstring Injury Grade 1. A grade 1 strain will take about a week of recovery time. A grade 1 strain hurts minimally, there is no pain walking, and motion isn't hindered. But it is imperative that you not play golf or exercise your leg. <P> How long does a hamstring injury take to heal? The average healing times are: (1) mild strain – 2 to 10 days, (2) moderate strain – 10 days to 6 weeks, (3) severe strain – 6 to 10 weeks. The complications listed above are more likely to occur in the case of repeated injuries. <P> A grade 2 hamstring strain will take two to three weeks of recovery for proper healing to occur. Do not allow yourself to put too much stress on the leg during this time because it will just increase the length of recovery time. <P> Definition. A hamstring injury occurs when you strain or pull one of your hamstring muscles — the group of three muscles that run along the back of your thigh. You may be more likely to get a hamstring injury if you play soccer, basketball, football, tennis or a similar sport that involves sprinting with sudden stops and starts. <P> However, how long it takes for a hamstring to heal will depend on the type of injury, overall health of the individual, and the type of treatment received. <P> Overall, it can take from a few to several weeks for a hamstring injury to heal but the patient can generally return to his training and activities afterwards. <P> Hamstring Injury Grade 3. A grade 3 hamstring strain will take three to five weeks for proper recovery. A person with a grade 3 strain may have trouble walking without assistance, i.e., crutches. Also there will heavy swelling in the area of the strain. Do not play golf or perform any activity during this recovery time.

temperature of gas definition
|
<P> An important property of any gas (including air) is temperature. We have some experience with temperature that we don't have with properties like viscosity and compressibility. <P> The standard temperature is the freezing point of water and the standard pressure is one standard atmosphere. These can be quantified as follows: Standard temperature: 0°C = 273.15 K Standard pressure = 1 atmosphere = 760 mmHg = 101.3 kPa Standard volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP: 22.4 liters. <P> The temperature of the gas stream resulting from the combustion of fuel and air within a turbine engine. For engine performance monitoring, the temperature may be measured at either of two points signified by the abbrevs JPT and TGT. <P> 1 The first principle is the observation that the temperature of an object can affect some properties of the object, such as the length of a solid, or the gas pressure in a closed vessel, or the electrical resistance of a wire. <P> Boyle's law or the pressure-volume law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant temperature varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant. PV = C. When pressure goes up, volume goes down. When volume goes up, pressur <P> Gases can be converted to liquids by compressing the gas at a suitable temperature. Gases become more difficult to liquefy as the temperature increases because the kinetic energies of the particles that make up the gas also increase. Microscopic view of a gas. <P> In such a gas, all the internal energy is in the form of kinetic energy and any change in internal energy is accompanied by a change in temperature. An ideal gas can be characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). <P> An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other.

Avoid scouring across the grain of the finish, which can damage it. 5. Disinfect and cleanse the sink whenever it begins to lose its luster. Fill it one-quarter full with equal amounts of bleach and water. Let the solution sit for 15 minutes, and then drain and rinse the sink thoroughly. Dry the sides and bottom with a towel. <P> Rinse and dry your sink after using it. Stainless steel is designed to resist corrosion, but you can stain or scratch it if you aren't careful. Cleaners that are too abrasive will damage the finish, and corrosive substances -- including those in food and drinks -- can leave stains that dull the sink's shine. 5. Disinfect and cleanse the sink whenever it begins to lose its luster. Fill it one-quarter full with equal amounts of bleach and water. Let the solution sit for 15 minutes, and then drain and rinse the sink thoroughly. Dry the sides and bottom with a towel. <P> After you rinse the sink out, use a soft towel to dry it. Drying the sink will keep it free of tap water stains. Most tap water contains minerals that can ruin the stainless steel finish. Protect the bottom of your stainless steel from scratching and staining, with a rubber sink mat. The rubber sink mat will keep utensils, dishes, glasses and food off the surface of the stainless steel. This way, a handful of silverware thrown into the sink will not scratch the surface. Allow hot pots and pans to cool before you place them in your stainless steel sink. Pots and pans that go from the hot stovetop to a room temperature sink can cause warping and staining. <P> Tips & Warnings. 1 You can remove the stains that develop as a result of hot pots and pans placed on the stainless steel. 2 Stainless steel cleansers, sold in most supermarkets, home improvement centers and hardware stores, can keep your stainless steel sink shining like new. This way, a handful of silverware thrown into the sink will not scratch the surface. Allow hot pots and pans to cool before you place them in your stainless steel sink. Pots and pans that go from the hot stovetop to a room temperature sink can cause warping and staining.

what age can you legally leave a child home alone
|
<P> Here are some things to consider when deciding if your child is old enough to be home alone without a sitter: 1 Generally speaking, a child must ne 12 years of age or older before you are legally permitted to leave him home alone for any period of time. 1 Generally speaking, a child must ne 12 years of age or older before you are legally permitted to leave him home alone for any period of time. 2 In some states and municipalities this may be different, and before you even consider doing so, check with your local law enforcement agency to know the laws. <P> A parent who leaves a child home alone before he is ready may face charges of neglect in Pennsylvania. Although Pennsylvania doesn't have a set minimum age at which it's legal for children to be left home alone, a parent is still responsible for knowing when her child may be safely left home without supervision. A young babysitter must be able to handle the responsibility of the child as well. Parents must decide for themselves whether a child can be left home alone, rather than decide strictly by age, according to the U.S. Administration for Children & Families. Parents should consider how safe their neighborhood is when making the decision. <P> Legal age for kids home alone. Some states have laws governing what age you can legally leave them home, ranging from age 8 all the way to age 14. Check out the list here to see the specific laws in your state. Most states, however, do not have laws, leaving the decision up to the parent. After taking into account their child's maturity, many parents think you can leave kids home alone for short periods of time starting at age eight or nine. <P> Laws for Leaving a Child Home Alone. Only a couple of states have laws that specify the age when a child can be left home alone, including Maryland (age 8) and Illinois (age 14). However, most states have guidelines with the Department of Health and Human Services or other child protective agencies that test a child's ability to be left home alone. 8 to 10 years-Should not be left alone for more than 1½ hours and only during daylight and early evening hours. 11 to 12 years-May be left alone for up to 3 hours but not late at night or in circumstances requiring inappropriate responsibility. 13 to 15 years-May be left unsupervised, but not overnight. 16 to 17 years-May be left unsupervised (in some cases, for up to two consecutive overnight periods) <P> Georgia’s Guidelines for leaving a child without adult supervision: 1 Children under 8 years old should never be left alone, even for short periods of time. 2 Children between the ages of 9 and 12, based on level of maturity, can be left home alone for brief periods of time. 1 <P> Please watch your kids. The legal age when you can leave a kid home is 12. But that is the legal requirement, parents should always think twice before leaving a small kid in the hands of a 12 year old. 12 year old is still a small kid and giving a responsibility of a an even younger kid to a 12 year can be dangerous. These states do not set a specific age after which a child legally can stay home alone but do provide recommendations. I have to say that I am surprised by the lack of official age restrictions in most states. And for the states that do, there is a very wide range of ages: 8-14. <P> The law on leaving your child on their own. The law doesn’t say an age when you can leave a child on their own, but it’s an offence to leave a child alone if it places them at risk. Use your judgement on how mature your child is before you decide to leave them alone, eg at home or in a car. <P> There’s no one law in Australia that says at what age you can or can’t leave your child home alone. In Queensland if you leave a child under 12 years of age for an ‘unreasonable time’ without supervision you have committed a misdemeanour. However, the legislation also says that whether the time is unreasonable depends on all the relevant circumstances. You’re the best judge of when your child is ready to be left at home alone. It’s not just about your child’s age – her maturity is also important. You might feel confident leaving a 12-year-old who’s very responsible, but quite worried about a 15-year-old who takes a lot of risks.

difference between misdemeanor and felony trial
|
<P> The Differences Between a Felony and a Misdemeanor. The main difference between a felony and a misdemeanor is the severity of the crime. What is considered to be a severe crime will vary from society to society and, sometimes, from state to state. Both felonies and misdemeanors can be committed against people, property, or the state. Once again, though, the difference is the severity of the crime. <P> In most states, crimes are classified in one of two categories: felonies and misdemeanors. Sometimes, there are also a third class of crimes called petty crimes or violations, and are usually punished by a fine with no jail time (these often include traffic infractions). Felonies. Felonies are the most serious type of crime and are usually classified by degrees, with a first degree felony being the most serious. Examples of felonies include murder, aggravated or grand theft, rape, etc. <P> The punishments for a felony and misdemeanor differ greatly as well. Felonies tend to involve prison sentences of at least a year, fines, or a combination of both. Misdemeanors, on the other hand, involve prison sentences of less than a year, smaller fines, or a combination of both. What is considered to be a severe crime will vary from society to society and, sometimes, from state to state. Both felonies and misdemeanors can be committed against people, property, or the state. Once again, though, the difference is the severity of the crime. <P> Other constitutional rights such as the right to a speedy trial are also involved when a person is charged with a felony. Conviction of a felony brings with it more disadvantages than just higher fines and longer jail time. In some states, persons convicted of felonies cannot serve on juries, or purchase or possess firearms and may not be employed in certain professions, such as law, teaching, or the military. <P> Jury trials are not available for petty offenses. Misdemeanors are punishable by more substantial fines and sometimes jail time, usually less than one year. Any jail term would most likely be served in a local or county jail, rather than a state or federal correctional institution. Conviction of a felony brings with it more disadvantages than just higher fines and longer jail time. In some states, persons convicted of felonies cannot serve on juries, or purchase or possess firearms and may not be employed in certain professions, such as law, teaching, or the military. <P> In Ohio, criminal offenses are divided into Misdemeanors and Felonies based on their maximum potential punishment. The maximum penalty for a misdemeanor in Ohio is up to 6 months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. Felonies have potential sentences that are far more severe and can result in imprisonment in the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. The classification of a charge as either a misdemeanor or felony also affects your right to a speedy trial. For example: • Minor misdemeanor – your speedy trial right is 30 days. • 3rd or 4th degree misdemeanor – your right to a speedy trial is 45 days. <P> Criminal offenses are grouped into two categories. A misdemeanor is a lesser offense, such as shoplifting, harassment, or driving while intoxicated. A felony is a more serious crime like rape, murder or kidnapping. The process from arrest to trial is pretty much the same for misdemeanors and felonies. <P> Criminal defense attorney Clark Head is a highly regarded trial attorney with more than 30 years of courtroom experience in municipal, county, state, and federal courts throughout the entire State of California. We invite you to learn more about the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor on this page. <P> Felonies and misdemeanors are two classifications of crimes used in most states, with petty offenses being the third. Petty offenses are sometimes called violations and are usually punished by a fine with no jail time. Conviction of a felony brings with it more disadvantages than just higher fines and longer jail time. In some states, persons convicted of felonies cannot serve on juries, or purchase or possess firearms and may not be employed in certain professions, such as law, teaching, or the military.

what can i use instead of stones for story stones ideas
|
<P> As the children get the idea of how to use the stones for telling stories, we will invite them to tell their own stories…. For now, we set the story stones out on a table for the children to explore on their own…. Here are some more ideas for story telling that I would like to try…. Story Telling Jar by Honey Bee Books. Ms. Abby introduced the story stones to the entire class during circle time…. Since story telling is new to our class, Ms. Abby told the story for today. Each child took a turn picking out a stone and Ms. Abby would include that stone in the next part of her story…. <P> Exploring story stones in preschool. By Deborah J. Stewart, M.Ed. I already shared how to make story stones and I must say, if you haven’t thought about making story stones with or for your class, that you really should. Our students LOVE them…. Ms. Abby introduced the story stones to the entire class during circle time…. Since story telling is new to our class, Ms. Abby told the story for today. Each child took a turn picking out a stone and Ms. Abby would include that stone in the next part of her story…. <P> How to Use Story Stones for Storytelling in a Group. I’m sure there would be many ways to use story stones, but I wanted the kids themselves to drive their story. And do it collectively – as part of a group activity. The best part was that I could use the stones to have the kids drive the storytelling sessions and be actively engaged rather than they being passive listeners. Sensory play, art, stories, group activity – story stones made this birthday girl’s party extra special. <P> But, first – how to make the story stones. To make story stones, we used the river stones that we’d collected last year from a trip to Dharamsala and recently from Himachal Pradesh. (So, whenever you get a chance to visit a stream or a river, don’t forget to pick up some stones. The best part was that I could use the stones to have the kids drive the storytelling sessions and be actively engaged rather than they being passive listeners. Sensory play, art, stories, group activity – story stones made this birthday girl’s party extra special. <P> Each stone has a picture of a character or animal or object on it. You can make a story stone by painting a picture on it, you can use stickers, you can draw on your stone with a permanent marker, or like us, you can use magazine cutouts or fabric scraps to make your story stones. **More about how I made ours in a bit. The stones can also be used for creative play: The hooligans often use the story stones at whatever centre they’re playing at. Ours are often used as: 1 characters in the dollhouse. 2 animals at our farm cemter. 3 in conjunction with our building blocks. 4 as food in the play kitchen. <P> If you’re looking for ideas on how to use your story stones, check out these story stone task cards, written for use in a classroom, but great for home as well. By the way, if you like the idea of story stones, but don’t want to make your own, there are some amazing ones available on Etsy. I especially like these fairy tale story stones by Thrive360Living (she has lots of cool sets available) but you can also just search for “story stones.”. There are so many ways to make story stones! I’ve seen story stones made with acrylic paint, fabric collage, magazine collage, Sharpie oil-based paint pens, and Sharpie permanent markers. (I haven’t decided which way to do it ourselves yet. Probably acrylic paint <P> We’ve done a lot of rock arts and crafts in our home, but we have yet to make story stones. It’s on our activity list for this afternoon, though, and I can’t wait! In preparation, I’ve collected a few resources and posts with story stones ideas…. There are so many ways to make story stones! I’ve seen story stones made with acrylic paint, fabric collage, magazine collage, Sharpie oil-based paint pens, and Sharpie permanent markers. (I haven’t decided which way to do it ourselves yet. Probably acrylic paint <P> Kids can express emotions through storytelling, they learn new vocabulary, and learn to listen as well. Story Stones are an interesting tool for boosting their creativity. Story Stones can be used by parents, educators, or other adults to guide a story along. Kids ask questions, contribute to the story, make up different stories with the same characters-all the while increasing their thinking capacities

What do you feed them onsmall fish are part of their diet no, sorry, fish are not part of the Cray diet! cray are Omnivores not hunting carnivores. problem with fish and cray stem from the keepers not the nature of the Cray. the only 'blue lobster' legal in the UK is the Cherax Quad. <P> Most lobsters are a greenish brown color like the small one in the picture. Sometimes, but not very often, lobsters are blue like the bigger one in the picture. They can also be yellow, or white, or even more than one color. A lobster of any color (except white) will turn red when you cook it. Lobsters like to eat crabs, clams, mussels, starfish, smaller fish, and sometimes even other lobsters. A lobster does have teeth — but they are not in its mouth, they are in its stomach. The food is chewed in the stomach between by what look like three molars. These are called the “gastric mill”. <P> The American lobster, Homarus americanus, is a species of lobster found on the Atlantic coast of North America, chiefly from Labrador to New Jersey. It is also known as true lobster, northern lobster, or Maine lobster. It can reach a body length of 64 cm (25 in), and a mass of over 20 kilograms (44 lb), making it not only the heaviest crustacean in the world, but also the heaviest of all living arthropod species. <P> The Hammers Cobalt Blue Lobster is one of the most striking ornamental crayfish you'll ever see. It will add an amazing splash of brilliant blue color that's sure to draw attention to your freshwater aquarium. The coloration of this blue beauty intensifies as it matures.

I have about 5 crawfish and I feed them little fish and shrimp pellets. The shrimp pellets seem to be the best thing to feed them. For the hermit crabs I recommend that you give them an enviroment that is semi-arid. Fill a 10 gallon tank with about 1-2 inches of sand that should be a sufficient bedding. <P> What do you feed them on small fish are part of their diet. If so I want one.

cost of chernobyl nuclear disaster
|
<P> The costs of the Chernobyl nuclear accident can only be calculated with a high degree of estimation, given the non-market conditions prevailing at the time of the disaster and the high inflation and volatile exchange rates of the transition period that followed the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991. The source document for this Digest states: The Chernobyl nuclear accident, and government policies adopted to cope with its consequences, imposed huge costs on the Soviet Union and three successor countries, Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine. <P> In Ukraine, 5–7 percent of government spending each year is still devoted to Chernobyl-related benefits and programmes. In Belarus, government spending on Chernobyl amounted to 22.3 percent of the national budget in 1991, declining gradually to 6.1 percent in 2002. Total spending by Belarus on Chernobyl between 1991 and 2003 was more than US $ 13 billion. The source document for this Digest states: The Chernobyl nuclear accident, and government policies adopted to cope with its consequences, imposed huge costs on the Soviet Union and three successor countries, Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine. <P> Comparison to Other Nuclear Disasters. The cost of a nuclear accident in a populated, industrial area could be much higher. That's because the Chernobyl disaster took place in a rural farming region. More than 5,700 square miles are contaminated, about the size of Connecticut. Hurricane Katrina cost less, between $125 billion to $250 billion. It knocked GDP growth to 1.3% in the 4th quarter 2005. It affected 19% of U.S. oil production and spiked gas prices to $5 a gallon. The 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident created as much economic damage as Chernobyl. <P> Four hundred times more radioactive material was released from Chernobyl than by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The disaster released 1/100 to 1/1000 of the total amount of radioactivity released by nuclear weapons testing during the 1950s and 1960s. The International Project on the Health Effects of the Chernobyl Accident (IPEHCA) was created and received US $ 20 million, mainly from Japan, in hopes of discovering the main cause of health problems due to 131 I radiation. <P> The costs are enormous — the Chernobyl arch alone will end up costing about $1.5 billion, financed largely by the United States and about 30 other nations. And making the site of a radioactive disaster truly secure can take generations. <P> However estimated cost of Chernobyl amounts to €450 billion. The Fukushima bills are not yet in and the dangers remain live, but estimates to date range from around $200 billion up to about $500 million-many times the entire equity value of any nuclear power corporation. The continuing nuclear disaster at Fukushima has concentrated minds on the risks of nuclear catastrope in Europe-all the more so as estimates of Fukushima's cost rise towards a giddying US$500 billion. <P> Source: Chernobyl Forum. The Chernobyl accident and the measures taken to deal with its consequences have cost the Soviet Union – and later Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine – hundreds of billions of dollars, but economic losses were also incurred by other countries, for instance in Scandinavia. Costs include: <P> Damage As a result of the Chernobyl disaster, almost a fourth part of Belarus was contaminated (some 23 per cent of the territory). For comparison, radioactive fallout in Russia amounted to 1.5 per cent and in Ukraine to 7 per cent of the country’s territory. Damage caused by the Chernobyl disaster is estimated at some $235 billion. However, the overall amount of money that Belarus and the international community invested into the recovery amounts to just 8 per cent of the total damage. Safe environment in the affected regions requires much time to take hold. <P> The Chernobyl disaster was the worst nuclear power plant accident in history in terms of cost and casualties. The International Project on the Health Effects of the Chernobyl Accident (IPEHCA) was created and received US $ 20 million, mainly from Japan, in hopes of discovering the main cause of health problems due to 131 I radiation.

what foods are rich in iron for dogs
|
<P> Iron is found in liver, lean meats, fish, whole grains, and legumes. Most commercial pet foods contain a highly available form of supplemental iron to help meet dietary requirements. Daily iron requirements. Dogs and cats should receive 36.4 mg of iron daily for every pound of food they eat (on a dry matter basis). The iron should be in a form other than iron oxide or iron carbonate. <P> Iron from animal sources is known as heme iron and is found in various meats and fish. Iron from plants is known as nonheme iron, and is found in certain vegetables and in iron-fortified foods such as breakfast cereals. Heme iron is better absorbed by the body than nonheme iron. The following foods are good sources of heme iron (from animal sources): 1 Chicken liver. 2 Oysters. <P> A nutritional plan rich in protein and Vitamin B12 is essential for anemic dogs. A number of other supplements and minerals can help, too. Consider incorporating one of the following substances into your dog's food intake: 1 Geritol tables: give a Geritol supplement to enhance the blood with iron and B vitamins. To quickly boost the amount of oxygen your dog's blood can carry, serve him foods with a lot of iron and B vitamins. Avoid supermarket or generic foods for canine anemia. The nutrients in them are harder for dogs to absorb. Start your anemic dog's meal plan by incorporating the following healthy foods: <P> Fortunately, many vegetables, such as broccoli and bok choy, which are high in iron, are also high in vitamin C so that the iron in these foods is very well absorbed. Commonly eaten combinations, such as beans and tomato sauce or stir-fried tofu and broccoli, also result in generous levels of iron absorption. Iron is found in food in two forms, heme and non-heme iron. Heme iron, which makes up 40 percent of the iron in meat, poultry, and fish, is well absorbed. Non-heme iron, 60 percent of the iron in animal tissue and all the iron in plants (fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts) is less well absorbed. <P> Foods high in iron, protein and B vitamins (particularly vitamin B12) are essential in helping the production of red blood cells. I would avoid commercial dog food, especially generic brands, with the exception of high-quality pet food such as Royal Canin, Science Diet, Iams, and those that are high in iron. 1 Milk Thistle which boosts hemoglobin levels. 2 crushed vitamin C tablets in your dog's food to help with iron absorption, approximately 500 mg a day, more for a larger dog. 3 geritol tablets to give the blood a bigger boost of iron and B vitamins. 4 phosphorus pellets which helps treat bleeding in anemic dogs. <P> Iron in plant foods such as lentils, beans, and spinach is nonheme iron. This is the form of iron added to iron-enriched and iron-fortified foods. Our bodies are less efficient at absorbing nonheme iron, but most dietary iron is nonheme iron. 1 1. Iron-Rich Foods. Very good sources of heme iron, with 3.5 milligrams or more per serving, include: 1 3 ounces of beef or chicken liver. 2 3 ounces of clams, mollusks, or mussels. <P> Diet. A diet rich in iron, vitamin B12, and protein is essential in helping the production of red blood cells. Suitable foods include: 1 Liver (iron, B-complex vitamins, protein); 2 Green vegetables (the chlorophyll in the veggies can help the body to produce healthier blood); 3 Kelp (iodine and trace minerals) <P> Food for Anemic Dogs. To quickly boost the amount of oxygen your dog's blood can carry, serve him foods with a lot of iron and B vitamins. Avoid supermarket or generic foods for canine anemia. The nutrients in them are harder for dogs to absorb. Start your anemic dog's meal plan by incorporating the following healthy foods: 1 Cooked liver: 4 ounces for a large dog; 2 ounces for a smaller dog. 2 Good dog food full of iron. 3 Lean meats like ground beef and lamb. 4 Fish, nuts and vegetable

is a speeding ticket a conviction
|
<P> Traffic tickets generally come in two forms, citing a moving violation, such as exceeding the speed limit, or a non-moving violation, such as a parking violation, with the ticket also being referred to as a parking citation, notice of illegal parking or parking ticket. The most expensive speeding ticket ever given is believed to be the one given to Jussi Salonoja in Helsinki, Finland, in 2003. Salonoja, the 27-year-old heir to a company in the meat-industry, was fined 170,000 euros for driving 80 km/h in a 40 km/h zone. <P> Report Abuse. A speeding ticket is a moving violation. Paying the fine is an admittance of guilt, which is why you have the option of appearing before a judge to plead your case. peersignal · 8 years ago. Thumbs up. As opposed to a parking violation, a speeding citation is a moving violation. You are not convicted (found guilty) until the Judge says so. If you pay the fine, then you are admitting guilt. Source(s): Me, retired Police Officer. <P> Report Abuse. Yes, a speeding ticket is a moving violation. Non-moving violations are like parking, where the car wasn't being driven. If you pay the fine, that is the same as pleading guilty or being convicted. As opposed to a parking violation, a speeding citation is a moving violation. You are not convicted (found guilty) until the Judge says so. If you pay the fine, then you are admitting guilt. Source(s): Me, retired Police Officer. <P> In United States law, reckless driving is a major moving traffic violation. It is usually a more serious offense than careless driving, improper driving, or driving without due care and attention and is often punishable by fines, imprisonment, or driver's license suspension or revocation. (List specific to the USA.). Reckless Driving in New York is not a non-criminal petty offense or traffic infraction.. Reckless Driving is a misdemeanor and therefore a crime.. A conviction for Reckless Driving is a conviction for a crime and such a conviction results in a permanent criminal record. <P> Financial reasons exist too. Reckless driving fines can go up to $2,500. While that number is not imposed often, it's not unusual to see a fine of $350 or more for these offenses; whereas, the maximum fine for a regular Virginia speeding ticket is $250.

what is bacterial pneumonia
|
<P> Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. People with pneumonia usually complain of coughing, mucus production, fever, shortness of breath, and/or chest pain. 1 The body's immune system usually keeps bacteria from infecting the lungs. 2 In bacterial pneumonia, bacteria reproduce in the lungs, while the body tries to fight off the infection. 1 Inflammation is the body's attempt to destroy infection, and causes many of the other symptoms of bacterial pneumonia, including fever and chest pain. 2 Pneumonia can be very serious, because it directly interferes with the body's ability to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen. <P> Bacterial Pneumonia Causes. 1 Most pneumonia is caused by bacteria or a virus. 2 Pneumonia from any cause can occur at any age, but people in certain age groups are at higher risk for certain types of pneumonia. 1 The most common way you catch pneumonia is to breathe infected air droplets from someone who has pneumonia. 2 Another cause is an improperly cleaned air conditioner. 3 Yet another source of infection in your lungs is spread by an infection from somewhere else in your body, such as your kidney. <P> Pneumonia (nu-MO-ne-ah) is an infection in one or both of the lungs. Many germs—such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi—can cause pneumonia. The infection inflames your lungs' air sacs, which are called alveoli (al-VEE-uhl-eye). <P> Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. People with pneumonia often complain about coughing, fever, shaking chills, and shortness of breath. 1 Your body's immune system usually keeps bacteria from infecting your lungs. 2 In pneumonia, bacteria reproduce in your lungs, while your body tries to fight off the infection. 1 The most common way you catch pneumonia is to breathe infected air droplets from someone who has pneumonia. 2 Another cause is an improperly cleaned air conditioner. 3 Yet another source of infection in your lungs is spread by an infection from somewhere else in your body, such as your kidney. <P> Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung affecting primarily the microscopic air sacs known as alveoli. It is usually caused by infection with viruses or bacteria and less commonly other microorganisms, certain drugs and other conditions such as autoimmune diseases. Pneumonia presumed to be bacterial is treated with antibiotics. If the pneumonia is severe, the affected person is generally hospitalized. Pneumonia affects approximately 450 million people globally per year (7% of the population) and results in about 4 million deaths. <P> Pneumonia is an infection in one or both of your lungs. Many germs, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can cause pneumonia. Pneumonia is not a single disease. It can have more than 30 different causes. Understanding the cause of pneumonia is important because pneumonia treatment depends on its cause. 5 Facts You Should Know about Pneumonia. Pneumonia is a common lung infection caused by bacteria, a virus or fungi. It is often spread via coughing, sneezing, or even breathing, and those who don't exhibit symptoms can also spread the illness. <P> Bacterial pneumonia is classified based on where you acquire it—outside or inside a hospital. An infection that occurs in a healthcare setting is usually more serious because you are already sick. Also, this type of infection is often caused by more dangerous bacteria. The most common symptoms of bacterial pneumonia are: 1 cough with yellow, green, or blood-tinged mucus. 2 chest pain that worsens when coughing or breathing. 3 sudden onset of chills. 4 fever of 102 degrees or above (lower than 102 in older persons). 5 headache. 6 muscle pain. 7 breathlessness or rapid breathing. 8 lethargy. <P> Overview. Bacterial pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs. The bacteria cause the lung’s air sacs (alveoli) to become inflamed and engorged with pus, fluid, and cellular debris. This often impairs the body’s ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.

<P> Hydroseeding is a process used to produce turf in a significantly short time at costs lower than sod. Hydroseeding applications are not the same, and the rates used to produce the ideal seed germination vary by mix or blend and other factors. <P> Hydroseeding Cost. If you are looking for a hydroseeding cost estimate, then this article offers some help in that matter. Read to know about this modern seed planting technique, which is widely used today. <P> 1 The cost of hydroseeding at Always Green Hydroseeding depends on the seed choice. 2 Quick Lawn, which uses Perennial Ryegrass, costs $0.10 per square foot. 3 Athletic and Park, suitable for home lawns, parks and athletic fields, costs $0.12 per square foot. 4 Tuff Turf, seed mix for heavy traffic, costs $0.14 <P> First it's important to note, not all hydroseeding applications are the same. The type of seed, tackifiers, mulch, and rate they are applied, will have an impact on the final hydroseed cost. For Sod Quality Results, we recommend a blend of high quality grass seed, a small amount of tackifiers (bonding agent), and a rate of 2,000 lbs of 100% wood fiber hydro-mulch/acre. <P> Hydroseeding & Erosion Control Services – serving residential and commercial clients in California. Save money on your new lawn, hydroseed for a fraction of the cost of sod. Have a beautiful lawn in three weeks – you can grow a new lawn even in the hot summer months! <P> Most hydroseeding companies price the cost of hydroseeding new lawns by calculating the square feet of the area to be hydroseeded (length X width = square feet) less home, walks, drive, and landscaping. Example: A lot 125 feet deep and 80 feet wide would be 10,000 square feet. <P> Hydroseeding is a fast, cost effective way to have a new lawn that will sprout fantastic results. Hydroseeding costs only a little more than old fashioned methods using dry seeding techniques combined with a spray on straw/cotton blend mulch.

average cost of mole removal
|
<P> The cost of laser mole removal varies depending on the doctor, the geographic area you live in, and the size and number of growths you want removed. In general, you can expect to pay about $50 to $80 per treatment. <P> Moles can be unsightly, and some can even lead to cancer, so many dermatologists recommend removing them. As with any medical procedure, removing a mole will cost money. The price of mole removal can range from about $100 to $600 per mole. The cheapest reported price we found for removing a mole was $50, but the average price will depend on a variety of factors. The less expensive treatment options will cost anywhere from about $50 to $200, while freezing and laser mole removal can cost upwards of $600 or more. Most insurance companies will not cover mole removal for purely cosmetic reasons. Patients may be required to pay for the full mole removal procedure. <P> There is NO Medicare rebate for this procedure. Average cost of Laser Mole removal is $250 for individual moles or $500 for several moles. There is a small additional cost if the mole is larger or if there are more than the usual numbers. <P> This can only be determined with accuracy after you have been evaluated. The cost depends on the complexity of the procedure and the number of lesions or moles treated. The consultation fee is 50 dollars. The “average” mole fee is about 75 dollars per mole, and a single lesion can range from $400 to $1200 for treatment. Costs are reduced when there are multiple moles or lesions. I have been told that I charge a heck of a lot less than other doctors (dermatologists and family practice doctors). <P> 1 So, if mole removal creams are permitted to you, be ready to pay around $50. 2 The amount of cream in a tube will be enough for removal of 3-5 moles. 3 If a doctor recommends surgery, be ready to pay $120-250 for the operation and $55-110 for a consultation. <P> 1 Most animal removal companies use traps to kill and remove moles or gophers, although some combine trapping with fumigation; total costs for professional removal can cost $50 - $500 or more, depending on local rates, the number of gophers, the size of the property and the difficultly of the terrain. 2 For example, 1 Gopher traps cost $5-$25, and mole traps can be $10-$60, depending on size, type and materials. 2 Generally two traps are set at a time, back-to-back in the tunnel. 3 Trapline Products provides how-to videos demonstrating basic mole trapping and gopher trapping techniques. <P> 1 Removal of a mole typically costs about $150 to $400. 2 It varies from doctor to doctor and by which technique is used. 1 In the first, the surgeon uses a scalpel to shave the mole off at the level of the skin, then cauterizes the wound or applies a liquid to prevent bleeding. 2 In the second, the surgeon cuts out the mole and some of the skin around it, then closes the wound with stitches. <P> The price of a mole-removal procedure is usually based on the size, shape and location of the mole and the complexity of the procedure. For example, having a large mole removed from your cheek will typically cost more than having a small one taken off your arm. First of all, the size of the moles is different -- it takes more time to remove a larger mole and therefore it costs more. Secondly, the skin on your cheek is more cosmetically sensitive than the skin on your arm and may require a more complex procedure [source: Hacker ]. <P> Of course, getting a mole removed is a little more complicated than the first two options -- and it's more expensive. There isn't a set cost for mole removal because all moles are different and prices vary by doctor, but plan to spend between $100 and $500 [source: Hacker ]. First of all, the size of the moles is different -- it takes more time to remove a larger mole and therefore it costs more. Secondly, the skin on your cheek is more cosmetically sensitive than the skin on your arm and may require a more complex procedure

what are the distinguishing absorbances for saturated alkanes
|
<P> 1. Alkanes-Are saturated hydrocarbons that therefore contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms bonded to each other, and typically follow the chemical formula C n H 2n+2. A common example is paraffin. 2. Alkenes-These unsaturated hydrocarbons are molecules that contain at least one carbon-to-carbon double bond <P> The alkane is saturated while the alkene is unsaturated. All hydrocarbons are saturated or unsaturated. Saturated hydrocarbons have only single carbon to carbon bonds. Like soil that is saturated with water and no more water can be absorbed into it. In that alkanes very rarely react while alkenes are highly reactive. Alkenes readily react with halides, alcohols, and hydrogen to name a few. Alkene bromination, or halogen addition reaction, is one of the more well know reactions because it is used to determine if an organic molecule is <P> Methane is a saturated hydrocarbon. Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that contain no rings and contain only single bonds between the different atoms. Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon because it contains only one carbon atom. Hydrocarbons with carbon-carbon double bonds are called alkenes. Hydrocarbons with carbon-carbon triple bonds are called alkynes. And hydrocarbons that contain rings of carbon atoms that are joined by alternating single and double bonds are called aromatic. <P> Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Saturated means that the hydrocarbon has only single bonds and that the hydrocarbon contains the maximum number of hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom. Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain multiple bonding and contain less than the maximum number of hydrogens per carbon. Ethane, C2H6, is an alkane and is an example of a saturated hydrocarbon. Ethene, C2H4, is an alkene and is an example of unsaturated hydrocarbon. Ethyne, C2H2, is an alkyne and is also an example of unsaturated hydrocarbon. Aromatic compounds are unsaturated hydrocarbons and contain a benzene ring. <P> HYDROCARBONS. These compounds form the simplest form of lipids, they contain only carbon and hydrogen. They may be divided into aliphatic hydrocarbons with a carbon chain which may be linear (normal), branched, saturated (alkanes) or unsaturated (alcenes), cyclic hydrocarbons and carotenoids. <P> Hydrocarbons that contain rings or double bonds are called unsaturated hydrocarbons, which are the opposite of saturated hydrocarbons. Alkanes-such as cyclohexane, which is an important precursor to nylon-that contain rings of carbon atoms are unsaturated. Another example of a hydrocarbon is ethylene. Hydrocarbons with carbon-carbon double bonds are called alkenes. Hydrocarbons with carbon-carbon triple bonds are called alkynes. And hydrocarbons that contain rings of carbon atoms that are joined by alternating single and double bonds are called aromatic. <P> Report Abuse. Alkanes are saturated. They have the maximum number of Hydrogen atoms attached. They have single sigma bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms. The alkenes are unsaturated and have double bonds consisting of a single sigma bond and a pi bond. The sigma bonds are much stronger than pi bonds <P> Hydrocarbons that contain only carbon-to-carbon single bonds are called alkanes. These are also referred to as saturated molecules. Hydrocarbons containing at least one carbon-to-carbon double bond are called alkenes, and compounds with at least one carbon-to-carbon triple bond are called alkynes. <P> Hydrocarbons are compounds made from carbon and hydrogen atoms joined by covalent bonds. Alkanes are saturated-they have only single bonds. Alkenes have a double bond-they are unsaturated. Alkenes react with brown bromine water and decolourise it, but alkanes do not. Alkenes can act as monomers.

know what does the labyrinth represent
|
<P> • LABYRINTH (noun). The noun LABYRINTH has 2 senses: 1. complex system of paths or tunnels in which it is easy to get lost. 2. a complex system of interconnecting cavities; concerned with hearing and equilibrium. Familiarity information: LABYRINTH used as a noun is rare. Dictionary entry details. <P> A labyrinth walk can represent a life journey, a pilgrimage to a sacred place, or a prayer bringing us to God. It can be a way of intentionally and reflectively facing a problem or issue. Sometimes you may walk the labyrinth looking for an answer. Some people do not really get a feel for the labyrinth experience until they have walked it at least three times. The center is a place and a time for illumination, meditation and prayer. Stay in the center as long you like. Visit each petal of the rose in the center. <P> The Labyrinth is an archetype, a divine imprint, found in all religious traditions in various forms around the world. By walking our replica of the Chartres Labyrinth, laid in the floor of Chartres Cathedral around 1220, you are rediscovering a long-forgotten mystical tradition that is insisting to be reborn. The labyrinth symbolizes the journey to the center or to self, the life journey or the path of life, or the spiritual journey – our walk with God. It is also said to represent the ongoing cycle of birth, life, death, rebirth and the process of transformation and healing. <P> These are Alaska's favorite last words, and they're from one of her favorite books, The General in his Labyrinth by Gabriel Garcia García, marquez márquez which is a Biography Of. Simon bolivar we never really know what the—labyrinth'is that s one of the enduring mysteries of—the Novel but alaska thinks'that it s. about suffering For Miles, it's not that he chooses the labyrinth, but he's found a personal way to escape it. He was gone, and I did not have time to tell him what I had just now realized: that I forgave him, and that she forgave us, and that we had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth. <P> From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan%27s_labyrinth. Guillermo del Toro has said the film has strong connections in theme to The Devil's Backbone and should be seen as an informal sequel dealing with some of the issues raised there. In 2004 Del Toro said: Pan is an original story. El Laberinto del Fauno literally translated means The Labyrinth of the Faun. Since in English faun (a satyr) and fawn (a baby deer) are both pronounced the same, it was believed that there would be some confusion so the English title is Pan's Labyrinth even though the faun is not the god Pan. <P> Pan’s Labyrinth is as much of a fairytale as it is homage to the power of fairytales. For Del Toro, himself also a teller of stories, stories are the lifeblood of culture, they are the wonder of human existence, a part of us that cannot die, one that isn’t governed by the restrictions of the natural world. This scene, that of Ofelia’s rose-story, is in a symbolic setting – the people of Spain are the men in the story, the blue flower is their political freedom and the thorns around the rose is the fascist regime. Just as her story is ending, we see Vidal, alone in his office tending to his broken pocket watch. <P> What does the labyrinth symbolize? The labyrinth symbolizes the journey to the center or to self, the life journey or the path of life, or the spiritual journey – our walk with God. It is also said to represent the ongoing cycle of birth, life, death, rebirth and the process of transformation and healing. <P> The labyrinth is a model of that path. A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world. <P> The Pale Man -- one of the many monstrous metaphors for fascism and evil in Pan's Labyrinth.. By Colin Walsh. Pan’s Labyrinth (2006) is as much of a fairytale as it is a story about how fairytales, and stories in general, clash with the fascism of post-Civil War Spain. This scene, that of Ofelia’s rose-story, is in a symbolic setting – the people of Spain are the men in the story, the blue flower is their political freedom and the thorns around the rose is the fascist regime. Just as her story is ending, we see Vidal, alone in his office tending to his broken pocket watch. <P> I think it's a misreading to see the faun as a representation of the devil. Pan represents Dionysus, a pre-Christian, feminine spirit of life and joy. The judgment that the faun is the devil is a Christian judgment, and, in the context of this film, an incorrect reading of the symbolism. Pan’s Labyrinth (Spanish title: El laberinto del fauno) is a Spanish language fantasy film written and directed by Guillermo del Torro, director of The Devil’s Backbone, Hellboy and Blade II.

<P> Ecotourism is a form of tourism involving visiting fragile, pristine, and relatively undisturbed natural areas, intended as a low-impact and often small scale alternative to standard commercial (mass) tourism. According to them ecotourism must above all sensitize people to the beauty and the fragility of nature. They condemn some operators as greenwashing their operations: using the labels of green and eco-friendly”, while behaving in environmentally irresponsible ways. <P> The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) defines ecotourism as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people.” They have added “and involves interpretation and education” in 2015. In this situation education is for visitors as well as the staff. <P> Ecotourism. Jungle hut in Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand. Ecotourism is a type of sustainable [sustainable: Doing something in a way that minimises damage to the environment and avoids using up natural resources, eg by using renewable resources. ] development. <P> Most tourism in natural areas today is not ecotourism and is not, therefore, sustainable. Ecotourism is distinguished by its emphasis on conservation, education, traveler responsibility and active community participation. Specifically, ecotourism possesses the following characteristics: In fact, tourism is now the world's largest industry, with nature tourism the fastest growing segment. People want to experience nature and the world, but should try to do so in a way that doesn't impact the natural environment. <P> Ecotourism typically involves travel to destinations where flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the primary attractions. Ecotourism is intended to offer tourists insight into the impact of human beings on the environment, and to foster a greater appreciation of our natural habitats. According to them ecotourism must above all sensitize people to the beauty and the fragility of nature. They condemn some operators as greenwashing their operations: using the labels of green and eco-friendly”, while behaving in environmentally irresponsible ways. <P> However, this same growth creates significant opportunities for both conservation and local communities. Ecotourism can provide much-needed revenues for the protection of national parks and other natural areas -- revenues that might not be available from other sources. Additionally, ecotourism can provide a viable economic development alternative for local communities with few other income-generating options. In fact, tourism is now the world's largest industry, with nature tourism the fastest growing segment. People want to experience nature and the world, but should try to do so in a way that doesn't impact the natural environment. <P> The Ecotourism Society defines it as responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of the local people. A walk through the rainforest is not eco-tourism unless that particular walk somehow benefits that environment and the people who live there. Ecotourism, eco travel, eco-lodges and just generally being eco have become popular tourism sales pitches. <P> Ecotourism in Costa Rica is one of the key activities of the tourism industry in the country. By the early 1990s, Costa Rica became known as the poster child of ecotourism. The country is among many developing nations that look to ecotourism as a way of cashing in on the growing demand for this popular trend of travel. <P> The International Ecotourism Society defines Ecotourism as: responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people. <P> Ecotourism encompasses a broad spectrum of environmentally responsible activities that increase visitor appreciation, develop a better understanding of the natural and cultural heritage, and are carefully managed to be ecologically, economically and socially sustainable. Ecotourism Australia defines ecotourism as ‘ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus on experiencing natural areas that fosters environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation’.

how did the battle of lake erie go
|
<P> The United States Brig Niagara in Erie, Pennsylvania is a reconstruction of an early 19th century warship of the United States Navy. On September 10, 1813, nine small ships defeated a British squadron of six vessels in the Battle of Lake Erie. <P> Intro. In September of 1813, during the War of 1812, Oliver Hazard Perry of the U.S. Navy and his crew of 557 brave patriots prevailed over the British fleet in the Battle of Lake Erie near Put-in-Bay, Ohio. Birth of the Modern U.S. Navy: 1 Great Britain possessed the greatest navy in the world at the time of the war. 2 During the Battle of Lake Erie, the U.S. Navy battled for and gained supremacy on Lake Erie. 3 Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s victory on Lake Erie was key to an American invasion into Upper Canada. <P> The Battle of Lake Erie. When the War of 1812 began, Oliver Hazard Perry became commander of American forces on Lake Erie, stationed in Presque Isle, now Erie, Pennsylvania. He commissioned the building of nine ships, recruiting shipbuilders, blacksmiths, and other workers from throughout the region <P> The Battle of Lake Erie, sometimes called the Battle of Put-in-Bay, was fought on 10 September 1813, in Lake Erie off the coast of Ohio during the War of 1812. Nine vessels of the United States Navy defeated and captured six vessels of British Royal Navy. When the war broke out, the British immediately seized control of Lake Erie. They already had a small force of warships there: the sloop-of-war Queen Charlotte and the brig General Hunter. The schooner Lady Prevost was under construction and was put into service a few weeks after the outbreak of war. <P> Initially, America did not possess the naval power needed to match the British on the Great Lakes. Perry quickly made the necessary arrangements for the construction of a small fleet on Lake Erie. Then on September 10, 1813, the British navy attacked in what became known as the Battle of Lake Erie at Put-In-Bay. Commodore Isaac Chauncey was given command of the naval forces on Lake Erie and Ontario early on in the War of 1812. Chauncey sought a commander for the Lake Erie squadron and Perry was assigned this role in January of 1813. However, he intended to have Perry be his second in command. <P> Battle of Lake Erie — Battle of the Thames. Throughout 1812 and into 1813, a British squadron led by Commander Robert H. Barclay held control of Lake Erie. Control of the Great Lakes was of paramount importance in the War of 1812. <P> Publisher. A+E Networks. In the first unqualified defeat of a British naval squadron in history, U.S. Captain Oliver Hazard Perry leads a fleet of nine American ships to victory over a squadron of six British warships at the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. <P> Prior to the Battle of Lake Erie. Many years of rugged times characterized the competition between America and British Canada over the old Northwest Territory around the Great Lakes. As a direct result, on June 18, 1812, an unprepared America declared war against the world's most powerful naval power. <P> The Battle of Lake Erie between the British Navy and the American fleet had a major impact on the War of 1812. The Americans were able to use the momentum of victory to push remaining British ships out of the Great Lakes, while the Army secured significant victories on land to end the war.

how does natural light affect mood
|
<P> Dr. Rosenthal says lighting can alter our brain chemistry, leading to mood shifts. One of the best studied aspects of the effects on light on mood is related to the total amount of daylight present. Some people are exquisitely sensitive to this, and on dark days -- especially during the winter -- their mood plummets. The best explanation for this is that levels of the soothing brain chemical serotonin are at their lowest on dark days. <P> When natural sunlight hits the skin, it triggers the body to produce vitamin D. Vitamin D is present in very few foods, but is necessary for proper calcium absorption. Sufficient calcium levels in the body prevent teeth and bone erosion, including osteoporosis. Treatments for lack of natural sunlight. Most parts of the world have three low-sunlight seasons, and the only way to absorb enough sunlight during these times is to get into natural sunlight to keep serotonin and melatonin levels from sinking. <P> Aromatherapy recipes for depression. Another way to combat the depressive symptoms of SAD rellies on herbs. Using aromatherapy for depression is a natural way to combat negative thoughts and promote relaxation. Many essential oils have calming or energizing properties that can benefit your mind. Treatments for lack of natural sunlight. Most parts of the world have three low-sunlight seasons, and the only way to absorb enough sunlight during these times is to get into natural sunlight to keep serotonin and melatonin levels from sinking. <P> Much of sunlight’s effect on mood is related to the visible light that hits your eyes. Remember, cycles of light and dark affect the production of certain hormones like melatonin, which in turn says a lot about our biological rhythms and moods. High-powered light-makers (not sun lamps, which emit dangerous ultraviolet radiation) mimic the sun’s effect on your brain, stabilizing serotonin, the chemical related to depression. Exercise also can help by releasing mood-boosting endorphins. <P> WebMD Health News. Dec. 5, 2002 -- A sunny day may do more than just boost your mood -- it may increase levels of a natural antidepressant in the brain. A new study shows that the brain produces more of the mood-lifting chemical serotonin on sunny days than on darker days. And the levels of serotonin were higher on bright days than on overcast or cloudy ones. In fact, the rate of serotonin production in the brain was directly related to the duration of bright sunlight. No other atmospheric conditions were related to serotonin levels. <P> Your skin and eyes should catch sunlight for 10 to 15 minutes a day, even early in the morning when the sun is not yet strong. Do not look directly into the sun, but glance peripherally at it for just a few seconds at a time. Treatments for lack of natural sunlight. Most parts of the world have three low-sunlight seasons, and the only way to absorb enough sunlight during these times is to get into natural sunlight to keep serotonin and melatonin levels from sinking. <P> It encourages us to produce vitamin D and protects us from seasonal mood changes. However, because society is more aware than ever of skin cancer and sun damage, most of us have significantly reduced our exposure to natural sunlight. Treatments for lack of natural sunlight. Most parts of the world have three low-sunlight seasons, and the only way to absorb enough sunlight during these times is to get into natural sunlight to keep serotonin and melatonin levels from sinking. <P> When the northern hemisphere is far from the sun during the winter months, some of us experience chemical changes in our brains that lead to depression. It’s called seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, and it affects 10% of Americans. Fortunately, there is an innovative solution to combat it. High-powered light-makers (not sun lamps, which emit dangerous ultraviolet radiation) mimic the sun’s effect on your brain, stabilizing serotonin, the chemical related to depression. Exercise also can help by releasing mood-boosting endorphins. <P> The more sunlight the body receives, the more serotonin the brain produces. In addition, the body also creates vitamin D from the sun's ultraviolet rays. High levels of vitamin D help our bodies maintain high levels of serotonin. High-powered light-makers (not sun lamps, which emit dangerous ultraviolet radiation) mimic the sun’s effect on your brain, stabilizing serotonin, the chemical related to depression. Exercise also can help by releasing mood-boosting endorphins.

what are good prebiotics foods
|
<P> Probiotic-rich foods are common, but prebiotic foods are just as important. Add these top prebiotic foods to your list and don’t forget to pair them with probiotic foods for the best results. Your healthy gut awaits! <P> Prebiotics vs. Probiotics. While probiotic-foods have live bacteria, prebiotic foods feed the good bacteria already living in your gut. You can find prebiotics in items such as asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes, bananas, oatmeal, red wine, honey, maple syrup, and legumes. <P> Asparagus is a common food rich in prebiotics. Prebiotics are nondigestible or partially digestible food ingredients that stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the colon and thus promote better overall health. <P> Yogurt is one of the most familiar sources of probiotics -- good bacteria that keep a healthy balance in your gut. Studies suggest that probiotics can help ease lactose intolerance. They also may help tame gas, diarrhea, and other digestive problems. <P> Or think of it as gram/100 grams. So if bananas have 1% prebiotics by weight and you eat 100 grams of banana, you get 1 gram of prebiotics. We can also use these to get real-world examples of how much food you must eat to get your daily <P> Many foods contain probiotics (the good bacteria that help your body maintain health) and prebiotics (fiber that good bacteria eat but that isn’t digestible by humans). However, it’s difficult to get enough probiotics strictly through food. <P> You don't necessarily need probiotics — a type of good bacteria — to be healthy. However, these microorganisms may help with digestion and offer protection from harmful bacteria, just as the existing good bacteria in your body already do. Prebiotics are nondigestible carbohydrates that act as food for probiotics. <P> Both bananas and berries provide you with prebiotics. These fruits are good sources of fiber and also contain other essential nutrients, such as the high amounts of potassium in bananas and vitamin C in berries.

what does a pediatrician do on a typical day
|
<P> Profile of a Pediatrician. A pediatrician is a doctor who specializes in care of children aged 17 and under. In most cases children receive the care of a pediatrician from as early as the day they are born until they turn 18 years of age. At this time the patient will begin seeing a practitioner who specializes in the care of adults. Becoming a pediatrician is not a complicated process but it is by no means an easy one either. Before beginning a practice as a pediatrician a number of steps must be taken. The first step is to enter a college program, ideally in a pre-medicine program. <P> A pediatrician commonly starts his/her day in the Newborn Nursery at the local hospital, examining newborns within 24 hours of birth. After a break for lunch, the day continues until 4 or 5 pm. In addition to seeing patients in the office, during the day, a Pediatrician will likely have to spend some time doing administrative work, giving advice on the phone, filling out forms and doing other paperwork, doing research and sometimes teaching. <P> One of the things we have to address is what a typical day is like as a pediatric nurse. I've looked online and haven't been able to find anything other than just a list of the kinds of things they do, but I'm looking for more of a daily schedule. The first rule of pediatric nursing is that there is no typical day. Your patients are so diverse they can have any number of conditions. Peds covers patients from birth to age 18. One day you might have a newborn and a toddler. The next day you might have two teenagers. <P> Dr. Mortimer Childers is a pediatrician at St. Shmoop Children's Hospital. (In case you're wondering, St. Shmoop is the patron saint of standardized testing.) He wakes up at 5:30, eats a bowl of Fruit Loops (filled with vitamin F and natural Toucan proteins), and drinks a glass of chocolate milk. Before lunch, he does three immunizations, writes prescriptions for five kids with colds (must be going around), and treats one sprained thumb. The thumb belongs to an 8-year-old boy named Jonathan who sustained his injury while playing Wii Mario Kart. <P> Most Pediatricians in primary care have a fairly typical day, which generally begins with seeing patients in the hospital before starting … their day in their office. In the hospital, a Pediatrician might have new babies to see in the newborn nursery or he might have to see sick patients admitted to the hospital. After 'making rounds' in the hospital, Pediatricians usually begin seeing patients in their office at about 8 or 9 am. After a break for lunch, the day continues until 4 or 5 pm. In addition to seeing patients in the office, during the day, a Pediatrician will likely have to spend some time doing administrative work, giving advice on the phone, filling out forms and doing other paperwork, doing research and sometimes teaching. <P> [See a typical day for a first year med student and a medical intern .]. Below, in MacAdam's own words, is her typical timeline: 6:00 a.m. — Alarm rings—hit snooze. Today I have nursery rounds, so I slap on some scrubs and head out the door to the hospital. <P> Most Pediatricians in primary care have a fairly typical day, which generally begins with seeing patients in the hospital before starting their day in their office. In the hospital, a Pediatrician might have new babies to see in the newborn nursery or he might have to see sick patients admitted to the hospital. the typical day for a migrant worker was very difficult. They moved place to place looking for jobs. The workers asked to stay at a home, but it always came with a price. And … that price was work. The workers had to do a job and once they were finished they could stay at the place for the night. <P> A typical day in the life of a Pediatrician. Courtesy of CareerOneStop.

The maximum salary a pediatrician earns is also ZAR 40,000 on a monthly basis. Thus on average the pay scale for a pediatrician with a master’s degree in South Africa is ZAR 40,000 per month.

Membership of Rajya Sabha is limited by the Constitution to a maximum of 250 members, and current laws have provision for 245 members. If Lok Sabha passed a Money Bill, and transmitted it to Rajya Sabha, Rajya Sabha has only fourteen days to return the bill (with or without amendments) to Lok Sabha.

<P> Aspirin is a white crystalline powder with a melting point of 135°C. The common chemical name for aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. Its systematic name is 2-(acetyloxy)benzoic acid. The chemical formula of aspirin is C 9 H 8 O 4 and the atoms are arranged according to the following diagram. <P> Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is a salicylate medication, often used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. Aspirin also has an antiplatelet effect by stopping the binding together of platelets and preventing a patch over damaged walls of blood vessels. <P> Possible impurities. The systematic name of aspirin is 2-ethanoylhydroxybenzoic acid. We usually make it by the esterification of 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid) using ethanoic anhydride and a catalyst such as concentrated sulphuric acid or phosphoric acid. <P> Aspirin is a white crystalline powder with a melting point of 135°C. The common chemical name for aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. Its systematic name is 2-(acetyloxy) benzoic acid.

salmonella typhi bacteria in blood culture
|
<P> When first performed, the SD RDTs correctly identified S. Typhi antigen in blood culture bottles from 29/30 (96.7%) patients in comparison to S. Typhi reference assays. Of the non-S. Typhi patients, four gave positive RDT results: two S. Enteritidis (a group D Salmonella) and two E. coli. We investigated whether the combination of blood culture amplification of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi with an S. Typhi antigen rapid diagnostic test (RDT) could be an accurate and inexpensive tool for the accelerated diagnosis of patients with acute typhoid in Laos. <P> However, this technique is extremely painful, which may outweigh its benefit. Blood, intestinal secretions (vomitus or duodenal aspirate), and stool culture results are positive for S typhi in approximately 85%-90% of patients with typhoid fever who present within the first week of onset. They decline to 20%-30% later in the disease course. In particular, stool culture may be positive for S typhi several days after ingestion of the bacteria secondary to inflammation of the intraluminal dendritic cells. Later in the illness, stool culture results are positive because of bacteria shed through the gallbladder <P> Although the detection of S. Typhi S. Typhi bacteremia are stool culture positive, and such RDTs are therefore not optimum for diagnosis of acute typhoid fever (3, 17, 18). Typhoid diagnosis in the tropics could be enhanced by making the identification of S. Typhi in blood cultures simpler, less expensive, and faster. We investigated whether the combination of blood culture amplification of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi with an S. Typhi antigen rapid diagnostic test (RDT) could be an accurate and inexpensive tool for the accelerated diagnosis of patients with acute typhoid in Laos. <P> Typhoid fever is a type of enteric fever along with paratyphoid fever. The cause is the bacterium Salmonella typhi, also known as Salmonella enterica serotype typhi, growing in the intestines and blood. Typhoid is spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected person. Typhoid fever. Typhoid fever, also known simply as typhoid, is a symptomatic bacterial infection due to Salmonella typhi. Symptoms may vary from mild to severe and usually begin six to thirty days after exposure. Often there is a gradual onset of a high fever over several days <P> Salmonella infection is diagnosed through testing of a stool sample. Salmonella bacteria can be detected in stool. [5, 15] In cases of bacteremia or invasive illness, the bacteria can also be detected in the blood, urine, or on rare occasions in tissues. [5] The test consists of growing the bacteria in cultur <P> A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) specific for Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi was used for the detection of the pathogen in blood, urine, and stool samples from 131 patients with clinical suspicion of typhoid fever. Salmonella typhi DNA was detected in the urine or stool of 72.9% of the patients diagnosed with typhoid fever. In our study, more urine samples (65.6%) than stool samples (39.5%) were positive for the pathogen. <P> Stool culture alone yields a sensitivity of less than 50%, and urine culture alone is even less sensitive. Blood, duodenal aspirate, and stool culture results are positive for S. typhi in approximately 85-90% of patients with typhoid fever within the first week of illness. <P> Typhi isolates from blood cultures in Pondicherry were found to be highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (MIC ≥ 4 mg/L), and the emergence of such resistant bacteria is a cause of concern. In recent years, there have been some sporadic reports of high-level ciprofloxacin resistance in Salmonella enterica [ ]. A total of 337 blood culture isolates of S. Typhi, isolated from Pondicherry, India, between January 2005 and December 2009, were investigated using phenotypic, molecular and serological methods. Of the 337 isolates, 74 (22%) were found to be multidrug resistant (MDR) and 264 (78%) nalidixic acid resistant (NAR). <P> Salmonella can sometimes also be isolated from blood, urine or tissue samples. Salmonella bacteria can be detected in stool. [5, 15] In cases of bacteremia or invasive illness, the bacteria can also be detected in the blood, urine, or on rare occasions in tissues.

what is imprinting
|
<P> Sexual imprinting is the process by which a young animal learns the characteristics of a desirable mate. For example, male zebra finches appear to prefer mates with the appearance of the female bird that rears them, rather than that of the birth parent when they are different. It was first used to describe situations in which an animal or person learns the characteristics of some stimulus, which is therefore said to be imprinted onto the subject. Imprinting is hypothesized to have a critical period. <P> The best-known form of imprinting is filial imprinting, in which a young animal acquires several of its behavioral characteristics from its parent. It is most obvious in nidifugous birds, which imprint on their parents and then follow them around. It was first used to describe situations in which an animal or person learns the characteristics of some stimulus, which is therefore said to be imprinted onto the subject. Imprinting is hypothesized to have a critical period. <P> Definition of IMPRINTING. : a rapid learning process that takes place early in the life of a social animal (as a goose) and establishes a behavior pattern (as recognition of and attraction to its own kind or a substitute). See imprinting defined for kids. ADVERTISEMENT. unstinting. 1. : a rapid learning process that takes place early in the life of a social animal (as a greylag goose) and establishes a behavior pattern (as recognition of and attraction to its own kind or a substitute). 2. : genomic imprinting. <P> Imprinting. A process whereby a young animal follow the characteristics of his/her mother after hatching.It can be filial imprinting or followiing a future mating partner. Example: A young chick after hatching can follow his/her mother and adapt to the environment where his/her mother goes, and also the movement of his/her mother. <P> For other uses, see Imprinting (disambiguation) . In psychology and ethology, imprinting is any kind of phase-sensitive learning (learning occurring at a particular age or a particular life stage) that is rapid and apparently independent of the consequences of behavior. It was first used to describe situations in which an animal or person learns the characteristics of some stimulus, which is therefore said to be imprinted onto the subject. Imprinting is hypothesized to have a critical period. <P> Genomic imprinting is the epigenetic phenomenon by which certain genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. If the allele inherited from the father is imprinted, it is thereby silenced, and only the allele from the mother is expressed. If the allele from the mother is imprinted, then only the allele from the father is expressed. Forms of genomic imprinting have been demonstrated in fungi, plants and animals. Genomic imprinting is a fairly rare phenomenon in mammals; most genes are not imprinted. In insects, imprinting affects entire chromosomes. In some insects the entire paternal genome is silenced in male offspring, and thus is involved in sex determination <P> Many people believe that imprinting is very important to social development. Young birds deprived of a chance to imprint are often socially awkward, and they may not recognize other members of their species, or they may have difficulty engaging in basic behaviors which are common to their species. It can take a variety of forms, but the most famous type is probably filial imprinting, in which young birds learn to recognize and follow their parents. Typically, in addition to being time-sensitive, this type of learning also happens very quickly, with animals quickly absorbing the lessons they need to learn. <P> Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism of inheritance which allows genes to be expressed differently depending on which parent they come from. This means it is modification of the genome, or changes what the genome produces, without changing the nucleotide (DNA) sequence.
