average price for replacing a roof on a double wide
|
<P> show more I have a 1970 double wide mobile home with an original old aluminum roof. Im lookinmg to replace it with a new roof and i know there alot of different types of foam roofs and such but was wondering if anyone knew which new roof is the best that i should put on here. which product/like should i look at.... What is the best replacement roof for an older double wide mobile home with a aluminum roof? I have a 1970 double wide mobile home with an original old aluminum roof. <P> 1 Regionally, the lowest average price was $35,900 for a new single-wide in the Midwest and $83,800 for a new double-wide in the West. 2 Many new manufactured/mobile homes are set up in developments/parks, where the home owners pay monthly fees/space rent of $100-$800 or more, depending on location and park amenities. 1 If you're buying or selling a used mobile/manufactured house, NadaGuides.com will provide a detailed retail value report for a 1969 or newer mobile home for $20, or sells a manufactured housing cost guide for $60-$120. 2 There are a variety of guidebooks for buying manufactured homes selling for $10-$40. <P> The average cost of a double wide mobile home is $73,600. This price does not include the price of the land. Many double wide mobile homes are set up in developments or parks … , where the homeowners pay monthly fees of $100 -$800 or more. Ask yourself these questions below to estimate the cost of replacing your roof: These and various other factors should be taken into consideration. Call around to local contractors and roofing businesses and get estimates on how much labor, parts, and other things will cost. <P> Metal roofs are also more energy efficient than standard shingle roofs. A metal roof with medium pitch costs about $4 to $5 per square foot installed. This makes the total of a 2,160-square-foot roof cost between $8,640 and $10,800. Metal roofs are typically put over an old roof, which can add insulation value. The cost of roofing labor is a major factor. As of May 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the average wages of roofers at $18.21 per hour. Those in Hawaii cost 40 percent more at a mean of $26.20 per hour, while those in New Mexico are paid almost a quarter less at a mean of $14.1 <P> 1 Rubber mobile home roofs are created by stretching a thick blanket-like membrane over an existing roof at a cost of about $1,175-$2,295 in materials for a single-wide and $1,595-$3,610 for a double-wide, depending on size, manufacturer, shipping distance, pitch of roof and number of vents. 1 Composition shingle roofing is typically added to a pitched roof that repels water better than its flat counterparts and costs about $650-$2,175 for materials for a single-wide or $1,290-$4,250 for a double-wide, depending on size of unit, thickness or quality of shingle and location. <P> 1 Metal roofing materials cost about $1,000-$2,000 for a single-wide or $1,800-$3,000 for a double-wide, depending on size of unit and manufacturer and are designed to last a lifetime. 2 Metal roofs may be installed over an existing roof with or without a DIYer adding insulation in between. 1 Composition shingle roofing is typically added to a pitched roof that repels water better than its flat counterparts and costs about $650-$2,175 for materials for a single-wide or $1,290-$4,250 for a double-wide, depending on size of unit, thickness or quality of shingle and location. <P> 1 Liquid roofing is rolled onto a clean and prepared rooftop with a paint roller at a cost of about $600-$900 for a single-wide mobile home or $1,400-$1,800 for a double-wide unit and is designed to last about 10 years. 1 Composition shingle roofing is typically added to a pitched roof that repels water better than its flat counterparts and costs about $650-$2,175 for materials for a single-wide or $1,290-$4,250 for a double-wide, depending on size of unit, thickness or quality of shingle and location.

what type of muscle tissue is found in hollow organs and is used for peristalsis
|
<P> Muscle tissue is a soft tissue that composes muscles in animal bodies, and gives rise to muscles' ability to contract. This is opposed to other components or tissues in muscle such as tendons or perimysium. It is formed during embryonic development through a process known as myogenesis. Thus, muscle tissue can be described as being one of three different types: 1 Skeletal muscle, striated in structure and under voluntary control, is anchored by tendons (or by aponeuroses at a few places) to bone and is used to effect skeletal movement such as locomotion and to maintain posture. <P> Cardiac muscle occurs only in the heart, and consists of small cells that are striated and under involuntary control. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs, and consists of small elongated cells that are not striated and are under involuntary control. Special Characteristics of Muscle Tissue. Excitability, or irritability, is the ability to receive and respond to a stimulus. <P> 2. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs throughout the body. Smooth muscle contractions are involuntary movements triggered by impulses that travel through the autonomic nervous system to the smooth muscle tissue. Each type of muscle tissue in the human body has a unique structure and a specific role. Skeletal muscle moves bones and other structures. Cardiac muscle contracts the heart to pump blood. The smooth muscle tissue that forms organs like the stomach and bladder changes shape to facilitate bodily functions. <P> 1 Cardiac muscle occurs only in the heart, and consists of small cells that are striated and under involuntary control. 2 Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs, and consists of small elongated cells that are not striated and are under involuntary control. Types of Muscle Tissue. 1 Skeletal muscle is associated with the bony skeleton, and consists of large cells that bear striations and are controlled voluntarily. 2 <P> Report Abuse. Smooth muscle tissue is a tissue type. This type is usually found in the walls of the hollow viscera. Found in distending and contractile organs such as the bladder and the stomach. This tissue is involuntary. sterlingtears · 8 years ago. Thumbs up. 0. Thumbs down. Best Answer: Smooth muscle tissue is located in the walls of organs, the bladder, abdominal cavity, uterus, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, vasculature, skin, ciliary muscle, and the iris of the eye. Its purpose is to keep organ structure against other forces. It is elastic and easily stretched. <P> 1 Smooth muscle or involuntary muscle is found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, bronchi, uterus, urethra, bladder, blood vessels, and the arrector pili in the skin (in which it controls erection of body hair). Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals. Muscle cells contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell. <P> Muscle tissue varies with function and location in the body. In mammals the three types are: skeletal or striated muscle; smooth or non-striated muscle; and cardiac muscle, which is sometimes known as semi-striated. Smooth and cardiac muscle contracts involuntarily, without conscious intervention. Thus, muscle tissue can be described as being one of three different types: 1 Skeletal muscle, striated in structure and under voluntary control, is anchored by tendons (or by aponeuroses at a few places) to bone and is used to effect skeletal movement such as locomotion and to maintain posture. <P> 1 Found in walls of hollow organs (except the heart). 2 When longitudinal layer contracts, the organ dilates & contracts. 3 When the circular layer contracts, the organ elongates. 4 Peristalsis-alternating contractions and relaxations of smooth muscles that mix and squeeze substances through the lumen of hollow organs. Types of Muscle Tissue. 1 Skeletal muscle is associated with the bony skeleton, and consists of large cells that bear striations and are controlled voluntarily. 2 Cardiac muscle occurs only in the heart, and consists of small cells that are striated and under involuntary control. <P> Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of hollow organs. Cardiac muscle: Exists only in your heart. Three types of muscle. You've got around 650 muscles in your body, and they make up roughly half of your bodyweight. These muscles can be divided into three different groups: skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Skeletal muscle generates heat as a by-product of muscle activity. This heat is vital for maintaining your normal body temperature. Smooth Muscle. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs like your intestines and stomach. They work automatically without you being aware of them. Smooth muscles are involved in many 'housekeeping' functions of the body. The muscular walls of your intestines contract to push food through your body

what form of protists is kelps
|
<P> Other animal-like protists lack a cell wall or protective test. The fungi-like protists are actually not evolutionarily related to fungi, although they do take in food by absorption. Like plants, however, their cell walls are made of cellulose. Animal-like protist. There will likely be changes in this grouping as the science of classification progresses. The majority of organisms classified as protists are unicellular though there are a few multicellular organisms. For example, kelp (“seaweed”) is technically a protist even though it is multicellular. Kelp is not grouped with plants, however, because it lacks the cellular complexity present in plant cells <P> Animal-like protists include some well-known species. Paramecia and amoeba are frequently used examples of single-celled organisms. Malaria, a world-wide disease occurring in tropical climates, is caused by an animal-like protist, the Plasmodium. There will likely be changes in this grouping as the science of classification progresses. The majority of organisms classified as protists are unicellular though there are a few multicellular organisms. For example, kelp (“seaweed”) is technically a protist even though it is multicellular. Kelp is not grouped with plants, however, because it lacks the cellular complexity present in plant cells <P> Click Here to return to the search form. To understand how kelp became members of the Protista, one must delve into the convoluted and messy history of systematics. Early attempts at organizing life into a classification system usually separated all organisms as either plants or animals. According to this grouping, kelp and other algae were considered to be very primitive plant forms, along with fungi, molds, and many other types of organisms. <P> In all biological taxonomy schemes, protists (/ˈproʊtɨst/) were a large group of diverse eukaryotic microorganisms, mainly unicellular animals and plants, that do not form tissues. Formerly, these were assigned to the now-obsolete kingdom Protista. Protists live in almost any environment that contains liquid water. Many protists, such as algae, are photosynthetic and are vital primary producers in ecosystems, particularly in the ocean as part of the plankton. <P> This group contains plant-like, animal-like, and fungus-like organisms. This grouping is not based on evolutionary relationships but is more a grouping of convenience — the protists are the eukaryotes that aren’t plants, animals, or fungi. There will likely be changes in this grouping as the science of classification progresses. The majority of organisms classified as protists are unicellular though there are a few multicellular organisms. For example, kelp (“seaweed”) is technically a protist even though it is multicellular. Kelp is not grouped with plants, however, because it lacks the cellular complexity present in plant cells <P> Actually, it is a protist and it gets nutrients from photosynthesis. Yep, kelps are seaweeds, but they are actually from the Kingdom Protista (i.e. protists). They belong to the Class Phaeophyceae which are protists, not plants (although clearly, they are plant like). Kelp do not eat sunlight, and kelp is NOT a plant. Kelp makes its own food by a process called photosynthesis. Kelp is a protist fro … m the kingdom of Protista, it is not a plant Good grief-kelp is a seaweed, not a protist. <P> Kelps are large seaweeds (algae) belonging to the brown algae (Phaeophyceae) in the order Laminariales. There are about 30 different genera. Kelp grows in underwater forests (kelp forests) in shallow oceans, and is thought to have appeared in the Miocene, 23 to 5 million years ago. The organisms require nutrient-rich water with temperatures between 6 and 14 °C (43 and 57 °F). Kombu is used to flavor broths and stews (especially dashi), as a savory garnish (tororo konbu) for rice and other dishes, as a vegetable, and a primary ingredient in popular snacks (such as tsukudani). Transparent sheets of kelp (oboro konbu) are used as an edible decorative wrapping for rice and other foods. <P> Many are minute: The green alga Nanochlorum is only 0.01 mm (0.0004 in) long. Giant kelps can grow to 65 m (210 ft) or more in length. Some protists form structures known as. that are resistant to chemicals and drying and that disperse in the environment. Spores are often the infectious stage of organisms that cause diseases in humans when ingested. Because the Protista are so diverse in form, classification within the kingdom has proved difficult. The classification of the Protista is currently based largely on the structure and organization of the cell, the presence of organelles, and the pattern of reproduction or life cycles. <P> Sunlight.

how long does it take for a pulled muscle to heal
|
<P> Depending on the grade, pulled muscles can take one to eight weeks to heal. For the first 72 hours, apply ice, use elevation and, in consultation with a doctor, take anti-inflammatory medication. After 72 hours, use hot packs to bring blood into the muscle and provide nourishment, which accelerates healing. <P> It takes about 1 week to heal a pulled muscle. You need to make sure that you put ice and heat on it every three to four hours. You can not do anything to your back or it will … turn worse. <P> Relief from pain and inflammation from pulled back muscles / ligaments can be obtained by applying ice to the injury (wrap ice in cloth-do not apply ice directly to skin) for 15 to 20 minutes every 4 hours for two or three days. The cold helps reduce pain and inflammation and is also a distraction from the back pain. <P> Rest your muscle as soon as you pull it. Depending on the severity, you may need up to five days of rest. In most cases, one to three days is plenty of time. Be sure not to rest for too long because this could actually slow down the healing process. Apply ice immediately after you pull a muscle. <P> Treatment. For the first 72 hours, apply ice, use elevation and, in consultation with a doctor, take anti-inflammatory medication. After 72 hours, use hot packs to bring blood into the muscle and provide nourishment, which accelerates healing. <P> Happily, a groin pull will usually heal on its own. You just need to give it some time and rest. To speed the healing, you can: 1 Ice the inside of your thigh to reduce pain and swelling. 2 Experts recommend doing it for 20 to 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for 2 to 3 days, or until the pain is gone. 3 Compress your thigh using an elastic bandage or tape. 4 Take anti-inflammatory painkillers. <P> A pulled muscle in a dog can take a week to a month to fully heal. Your dog will need lots of rest, you can also give him a baby aspirin to reduce swelling.

how long can irs collect on back taxes
|
<P> In most cases, the statute of limitations for the IRS to collect back taxes is 10 years after the IRS has assessed of a tax liability. Essentially, this means the IRS has a 10 year window to collect on a taxpayer’s deficiency and once that window closes the IRS loses its legal claim towards the back taxes. <P> Substitute for Return. If IRS filed your tax return under 6020b of the IRC and did a substitute for return(SFR), the same ten year statute applies. Beware of the the Statute period. If the statute expiration date is coming near, the IRS will become much more aggressive in its attempts to collect the back tax liability. <P> Here are five truths about how many years the IRS to collect back taxes from you: 1. There is an IRS statute of limitations on collecting taxes. The IRS is limited to 10 years to collect back taxes, after that, they are barred by law from continuing collection activities against you. <P> The IRS Statute of Limitations The IRS’ collection statute of limitations refers to the maximum time period the IRS can seek to legally collect back taxes from the taxpayer. The ten year period of time begins when you file a tax return and the tax return legally posts to the IRS computer. <P> The IRS has a 10 year period of time in which to collect back taxes. After that ten year period of time, the back taxes drop off the tax data base and the debt is legally forgiven and can never be collected. The federal tax liens are also released by statute. <P> As a general rule, there is a ten year statute of limitations on IRS collections. This means that the IRS can attempt to collect your unpaid taxes for up to ten years from the date they were assessed. Subject to some important exceptions, once the ten years are up, the IRS has to stop its collection efforts. <P> Answer: It depends. Generally speaking, the IRS can collect a tax by levy or by a court proceeding if the levy has been made within ten (10) years from the date of an assessment. See IRC 6502(a). An assessment is a bookkeeping notation that is made when the IRS posts the liability on its database. <P> The IRS has three years to give you a refund, three years to audit your tax return, and ten years to collect any tax due. Together, these laws are called the statute of limitations. They put time limits on various tax-related actions that you and the IRS can take. <P> This time restriction is most commonly known as the statute of limitations. For most cases, the IRS has 3 years from the date the return was filed to audit a tax return and determine if additional tax is due. After the IRS determines that additional taxes are due, the IRS has 10 years to collect unpaid taxes.

what organ does hypoglycemia affect
|
<P> Hypoglycemia can affect all the organs in your body, especially your brain. If the hypoglycemia symptoms are severe and the individual cannot treat himself/herself, somebody else will need to apply honey, treacle, jam or Glucogel to the inside of the cheeks and then gently massage the outside of the cheeks. 1 Reactive hypoglycemia (postprandial hypoglycemia) - this is when the pancreas produces too much insulin after a meal. 2 Tumors-tumors in other parts of the body (not the pancreas) can cause hypoglycemia. 3 This is very rare. <P> Hypoglycemia refers to blood sugar levels that drop below the normal range. When blood sugar becomes too low, the body releases a hormone called epinephrine, which causes the body to release stored sugar into the blood. Epinephrine produces symptoms such as hunger, sweating, and shaking. This causes dizziness, confusion, and weakness. As blood sugar continues to drop, and the brain does not have enough sugar to function properly, more severe effects occur, including permanent brain damage, seizures, coma, and death. <P> Introduction. Hypoglycemia is a condition in which there is an abnormally low level of glucose (sugar) in your blood. Normally your body keeps blood sugar levels within a narrow range through the coordinated work of several organs and glands and their hormones, primarily insulin and glucagon. Too much glucose results in hyperglycemia, one of the major symptoms of diabetes. However, hypoglycemia is most common among people with diabetes, as too much insulin can cause blood sugar levels to fall (an insulin reaction). <P> Hypoglycemia is the clinical term for low levels of blood glucose. Glucose is the main source of energy for the cells of the human body. As such, blood glucose is usually very well-regulated by the endocrine system. Normal blood glucose level is about 90mg/100ml, with comparatively small fluctuations naturally occurring due to fasting, high carbohydrate meals, activity level and time of day.. Hypoglycemia effects are mainly related to the central nervous system, the digestive system and the circulatory system.Hypoglycemia effects will be most noticeable in relation to the central and autonomic nervous systems. <P> A person with abnormally low levels of blood sugar (glucose) has hypoglycemia. Glucose is the body's main energy source. Hypoglycemia is not a disease in itself; it is a sign of a health problem. The majority of people know when their blood sugar levels have dropped, and have time to do something about it. 1 Reactive hypoglycemia (postprandial hypoglycemia) - this is when the pancreas produces too much insulin after a meal. 2 Tumors-tumors in other parts of the body (not the pancreas) can cause hypoglycemia. 3 This is very rare. <P> Hypoglycemia refers to blood sugar levels that drop below the normal range. When blood sugar becomes too low, the body releases a hormone called epinephrine (adrenaline), which causes the body to release stored sugar into the blood. Epinephrine produces symptoms such as hunger, sweating, and shaking. Low blood sugar can: If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, check your blood sugar. If it is low, eat or drink a source of quick sugar -- like 5-6 pieces of hard candy, 3-4 glucose tablets, or 6 ounces of fruit juice or soft drink (not diet). Check your blood sugar again in 15 minutes. <P> 1 Some critical illnesses. 2 Severe illnesses of the liver, such as severe hepatitis, can cause hypoglycemia. 3 Disorders of the kidney, which can keep your body from properly excreting medications, can affect glucose levels due to a buildup of those medications. Causes. Hypoglycemia occurs when your blood sugar (glucose) level falls too low. There are several reasons why this may happen, the most common being a side effect of drugs used for the treatment of diabetes. <P> The most affected organ from hypoglycemia is the brain, which requires a full glucose supply at all times. Interruption of that supply is similar to interruption of oxygen -- it causes brain insult and damage within 3-4 minutes. Since all the cells of the body, especially the brain cells, use glucose for fuel, a blood glucose level that is too low starves the cells of needed fuel, causing both physical and emotional symptoms. <P> on the Body. Every cell in your body needs sugar (glucose) to function. When your blood sugar levels drop too low, your cells become starved for energy. Initially, that can cause minor symptoms, but if you don’t get your blood sugar levels up soon, you’re at risk of serious complications. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas doesn’t make enough, or your body can’t use it properly. To keep blood sugar levels from rising too much (hyperglycemia), you need the right amount of insulin. With insufficient insulin, your blood sugar levels rise. Too much, and your blood sugar levels can plummet.

Hypoglycemia can affect all the organs in your body, especially your brain.

hvac cost in retail space per square foot
|
<P> Assuming the existing conditions do not present any code concerns (ADA, fire, egress, etc.), and is a good core and shell building, with reasonably easy access to necessary utilities, then the finish cost for office space will range between $25-$50 per square foot, depending on the level of finish you are looking for. The median for this type of construction is between $160 and $170 per square foot. Not surprisingly, New York tops the charts for most expensive city to build in for all of these building types. <P> MANAGING ENERGY COSTS IN RETAIL BUILDINGS Retail buildings in the U.S. spend an annual average of $1.21 per square foot on electricity and 14 cents per square foot on natural gas. In a typical retail building, lighting, cooling, and heating represent between 69 and 84 percent of total use depending on climate, making those systems the best targets for energy savings.When trying to better manage your building’s energy costs, it helps to understand how you are charged for those costs. <P> Studies have shown that continuously monitoring a building’s energy systems can lead to reductions of 10 to 15 percent in annual energy bills. For the typical 50,000-square-foot retail building, that’s equal to about $8,000 in savings per year! In a typical retail building, lighting, cooling, and heating represent between 69 and 84 percent of total use depending on climate, making those systems the best targets for energy savings.When trying to better manage your building’s energy costs, it helps to understand how you are charged for those costs. <P> The median cost for this commercial building type hovers around $100 per square foot. Because of the new trends in fast food being more boutique and less assembly line, the cost for a typical fast food restaurant is on the rise. The median for this type of construction is between $160 and $170 per square foot. Not surprisingly, New York tops the charts for most expensive city to build in for all of these building types. <P> Rich, Thank you for your question. That is a fairly small size for an office building, which puts upwards pressure on the price per square foot. While the chart would suggest a cost in the neighborhood of $160 per square foot, the small square footage could easily push you up into the $200 per square-foot range. The data for this year indicates a $15-$30 per square foot or approximately 13% increase in construction cost over last year, depending on region. Note that over twenty stories starts getting into more unique building characteristics that will drive costs in various ways <P> 3. The average per square foot cost for commercial office space construction can be anywhere between $100 per square foot to $200 per square foot or even more. The cost will depend on the kind of material and fitting and furniture you plan to use for the office construction. The average construction cost per square foot for commercial hvac is around $35 per sqaure foot. Now it depends on you that either you are making it lavish or not. Mostly people who are constructing it is costing them around $35-40 per square foot. <P> For the most common office building size, two to four stories tall, the range is from just over $140 per square foot in Winston-Salem to over $240 per square foot in New York – Note that this is over $10 per square foot more than last year. The data for this year indicates a $15-$30 per square foot or approximately 13% increase in construction cost over last year, depending on region. Note that over twenty stories starts getting into more unique building characteristics that will drive costs in various ways <P> Slab – A concrete slab will cost about $4 per square foot. So if a the slab is 24 x 30 foot, then your slab would cost $2880. This price varies though in different areas, and with the cost of concrete. Crawl Space – The cost is based on the perimeter of the home. Adding about $500 for additional support pillars under the house, should leave you with a good idea of how much a crawl space foundation will cost. Basement – Unfinished basement costs in the US vary from $12 to $28 per square foot. Soil conditions vary and it could be even more in some areas. <P> We get the number $1,944 and $2592. Adding about $500 for additional support pillars under the house, should leave you with a good idea of how much a crawl space foundation will cost. Basement – Unfinished basement costs in the US vary from $12 to $28 per square foot. Soil conditions vary and it could be even more in some areas.

what are hormones and what is their function
|
<P> The main function of endocrine glands is to secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. Hormones are chemical substances that affect the activity of another part of the body (target site). In essence, hormones serve as messengers, controlling and coordinating activities throughout the body. Ultimately, hormones control the function of entire organs, affecting such diverse processes as growth and development, reproduction, and sexual characteristics. Hormones also influence the way the body uses and stores energy and control the volume of fluid and the levels of salts and sugar (glucose) in the blood. <P> The Importance of Hormones. The function of hormones in the body is inarguably very important; even the slightest change in how a hormone works could impact the entire body. In order to perform all the necessary processes normally, such as growth, development, metabolism, movement, and reproduction, hormones are needed. Put simply, hormones are the body s chemical messengers that relay a signal from cell to cell. Endocrine glands produce and release these hormones into the bloodstream, where they will travel and bind with a specific receptor, to reproduce or to trigger the production of proteins. <P> Hormones. are secreted from the glands of the endocrine system, they are specific in that each hormone causes a response in a specific target organ or group of cells, rather than on the body as a whole. Exocrine hormones are secreted via a duct into the blood and usually effect a distant organ or tissue. The Endocrine system regulates the activities of the body by secreting complex chemical substances (hormones) into the blood stream. These secretions come from a variety of glands which control various organs of the body. The key functions are: 1 To regulate the metabolic functio <P> Regulation of hormone synthesis of gonadal, adrenal, and thyroid hormones is often dependent on complex sets of direct influence and feedback interactions involving the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA), -gonadal (HPG), and-thyroid (HPT) axes. Hormones affect distant cells by binding to specific receptor proteins in the target cell resulting in a change in cell function. When a hormone binds to the receptor, it results in the activation of a signal transduction pathway. <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. Hormones affect distant cells by binding to specific receptor proteins in the target cell resulting in a change in cell function. When a hormone binds to the receptor, it results in the activation of a signal transduction pathway. <P> The endocrine system uses hormones to control and coordinate your body's internal metabolism (or homeostasis) energy level, reproduction, growth and development, and response to injury, stress, and environmental factors. Consider the following hormones and their role in the workings of the endocrine system: Where the hormone is produced. Hormone(s) secreted. Hormone function. Adrenal glands. Aldosterone. Regulates salt, water balance, and blood pressure. Adrenal glands. Corticosteroid <P> The function of hormones in the body is mainly to serve as chemical messengers. The brain receives a message from the nerves, interprets it, and transmits the message to a specific endocrine gland. Put simply, hormones are the body s chemical messengers that relay a signal from cell to cell. Endocrine glands produce and release these hormones into the bloodstream, where they will travel and bind with a specific receptor, to reproduce or to trigger the production of proteins. <P> Well, the truth of the matter is that hormones and their function within the endocrine system are extremely complex. There are multiple glands throughout the body, and each gland produces specific hormones designed to carry out certain functions. The whole process is actually quite amazing! The thyroid gland's main function is to control your body's metabolism, while the parathyroid glands play a large role in the distribution of calcium and phosphate throughout the body. The pancreas lies directly behind the stomach and is responsible for the production of insulin and glucagon. <P> How Hormones Function. The function of hormones in the body is mainly to serve as chemical messengers. The brain receives a message from the nerves, interprets it, and transmits the message to a specific endocrine gland. In response, the endocrine gland releases one or more hormones to bind with a specific cell. Put simply, hormones are the body s chemical messengers that relay a signal from cell to cell. Endocrine glands produce and release these hormones into the bloodstream, where they will travel and bind with a specific receptor, to reproduce or to trigger the production of proteins.

what did splitting the atom do?
|
<P> Fermi knew that when an atom splits it releases other neutrons, and he was quick to realize that under the right conditions those neutrons could go on to split other atoms in a chain reaction. This would lead to one of two things: a steady generation of energy in the form of heat or a huge explosion. <P> It’s possible to release this energy, and actually harness it, by splitting specific types of atoms apart into multiple fragments – a process known as nuclear fission. All you need to break apart a uranium-235 atom is a slow-moving free neutron. <P> Splitting an atom is called nuclear fission, a process that was discovered in 1938; the repeated splitting of atoms in fission is called a chain reaction. While most people do not have the equipment to do this, if you've ever been curious how it's done, here's an overview. Ad. <P> ANSWER Ernest Walton and John Cockroft (1932) were the first to split the nucleus in a completely controlled manner. This was under the direction of Rutherford (see below) who, whilst at the Cavendish laboratory, Cambridge had done so but not by entirely artificial means. <P> Best Answer: In the most common form of atomic bomb uranium 235 is split by striking it with a low energy neutron. Generally the heavier an element the easier it is to split its atom (fission). The mass of the fragments is less than that of the original atom and the lost mass is converted into energy (E=mc^2). The fission also releases more slow neutrons which go on to provide the chain reaction. <P> The focus of the splitting-the-atom story should be on the discovery of nuclear fission and its impact on world affairs. It is important not to overlook the science in this episode when considering the ethical and national-security considerations associated with fission and fusion.

what is the function of the filtration barrier
|
<P> Glomerular Filtration. The first step in renal processing involves the filtration of plasma in the glomerulus. Glomerular filtration is a process of bulk flow: water and low molecular weight substances move from the lumen of the capillary, across the filtration membrane, and into Bowman s space. When the filtration membrane is not functioning properly, it ceases to be an effective barrier. What then occurs is proteinuria, an abnormal accumulation of protein in the urine. <P> The glomerular filtration barrier function: new concepts. Hausmann R(1), Grepl M, Knecht V, Moeller MJ. Author information: (1)University Hospital of RWTH Aachen University, Institute for Numerical Mathematics, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany. PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Each day, the human kidneys filter about 140 l of primary urine from plasma. Although this ultrafiltrate is virtually free of plasma protein, the glomerular filter never clogs under physiological conditions. <P> As all plasma proteins are negatively charged, the electrical field across the glomerular filtration barrier is predicted to drive plasma proteins from the filter toward the capillary lumen by electrophoresis. SUMMARY: In this review, we examine our novel model for glomerular filtration in more detail. PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Each day, the human kidneys filter about 140 l of primary urine from plasma.

[Article in Polish]. Musiał K(1), Zwolińska D. Author information: (1)Katedra i Klinika Nefrologii Pediatrycznej Akademii Medycznej we Wrocławiu. The aim of the review is to discuss recent investigations on the glomerular filtration barrier. The barrier consists of three layers: the vascular endothelium, the glomerular basement membrane and the slit diaphragm located between podocyte foot processes. The main components of the slit diaphragm are nephrin, the product of NPHS1 gene and podocin, the product of NPHS2 gene. <P> The ultrafiltration of plasma in the kidney occurs through the capillary wall of the glomerulus. The filtration barrier is composed of glomerular endothelial cells (GECs), the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), and podocyte cells (Fig. 1). The plasma molecules are sieved through the glomerular filter based on their size and (probably) charge [1] . The filtration barrier is a target of injury in several systemic and renal diseases, and this often leads to progressive renal disease and kidney failure. Therefore, it is essential to understand the molecular biology <P> 1 Filtration barrier —The filtration barrier is composed of the fenestrated endothelium of the glomerular capillaries, the fused basal lamina of the endothelial cells and podocytes, and the filtration slits of the podocytes. As a result, the filtrate leaving the Bowman's capsule is very similar to blood plasma (filtrate or glomerular filtrate is composed of blood plasma minus plasma protein i.e. it contains all the components of blood plasma except the proteins) in composition as it passes into the proximal convoluted tubule.

what are chameleons predators
|
<P> In fact, a chameleon attacked by a predator turns reddish with brown or yellow stripes, as most of the chameleons' predators (snakes, mammals) do not distinguish well the colors. Actually, the chameleon is constantly changing its color according to its emotions, light and temperature. 1. The Chameleons' closest relatives are ...the iguanas and dragon lizards (Agamidae). In fact, there are iguanas living in Americas called false chameleons, that resemble a lot the real chameleons of the Old World, and even have the ability of changing their color. <P> All carnivourous animals capable of catching and killing a chameleon in the geographical area they live can be a predator for a chameleon. Most common predators would be birds … , snakes, lizards (including other chameleons). I have been studying these kind of lizards and the predators are all types of animals and people. <P> Live prey like insects and worms are still considered to be nutritious food sources for chameleons. Crickets: They are abundant and are often the staple of a chameleon's … diet (thought it should not be the only prey that is fed to your chameleon). It also makes it hard for predators to see it. 3. They can shoot out their tongue nearly a foot and catch an insect with incredible accuracy. 4. Behavioral adaption would be the manner in which the chameleon moves throughout vines and limbs. <P> Snakes, especially the Boomslang Snake and the Vine Snake, are predators to the chameleon. Some birds are also, including the shrike, coucal, and hornbill. The Cuckoo Hawk will also occasionally prey on chameleons. Most common predators would be birds … , snakes, lizards (including other chameleons). I have been studying these kind of lizards and the predators are all types of animals and people. <P> Reptile. Half of the world's chameleon population lives on the island of Madagascar. They are famous for their ability to change color. This serves as a form of communication, a response to temperature, light, and mood, as well as a defense against predators. <P> Chameleons protect them self from their predator they change colors when they see a predator but chameleons changes colors because they are scared that other predators will ea … t the chameleon so thats chameleons changes colors so they will hide for predators. Most common predators would be birds … , snakes, lizards (including other chameleons). I have been studying these kind of lizards and the predators are all types of animals and people. <P> One of the amazing chameleon facts for kids is that these reptiles are capable to change their color with respect to their surroundings. This helps them in camouflaging from potential predators. These animals inhabit all throughout South Asia, Africa, Spain, Portugal, California, and Florida. <P> The chameleon is a very distinctive and well-known species of lizard, due to the large eyes and curled tail of the chameleon. Chameleons are found throughout jungle and desert alike, in Africa, Asia and parts of Southern Europe and chameleons have also been introduced to parts of North America. <P> There are many types of chameleons, and they all have a lot of predators, or natural enemies. Chameleons are at the bottom of the food chain, and near the outside of the food web. In order to hide from their predators, many species of chameleons are able to change their color in order to match their surroundings. When an animal is the same color as most of its srurroundings, it is said to be camouflaged. Snakes are one of the kinds of creatures that eats chameleons. Birds are another <P> The Eating Habits of Chameleons. The muscles on the tip of a chameleon's tongue provide suction that traps prey. Hulton Collection/Valueline/Getty Images.

what are snots
|
<P> 2. snot-nasal mucus. mucous secretion, mucus-protective secretion of the mucus membranes; in the gut it lubricates the passage of food and protects the epithelial cells; in the nose and throat and lungs it can make it difficult for bacteria to penetrate the body through the epithelium. Translations. <P> Simply put, snot is mucus that is produced by a special membrane in the nose. The purpose of snot is to trap dust particles, germs and pollen that are inhaled and to prevent them from getting into the lungs. When the inhaled particle and the surrounding mucus that surrounds it dry and solidify, you get what most people call bogeys (or boogers in the USA). <P> When you have cold you have snot why well the reason for that is because when you breath in the air sometimes the air contains bad germs but your hairs in your nose traps it b … ut sometimes the germs can go in you respiratory system. The germs start growing in your nose, throat and lungs. <P> Snot is the slang term of nasal mucus. Mucus is the slippery secretion that is produced by nasal mucous membranes. These secretions typically contain water, glycoproteins, some inorganic salt, and antibodies or immunoglobulins that try to stop germs by killing them. <P> When a person is exposed to germs, pollen, or dust for example, snot is actually produced by the nasal mucous membranes as a form of defense mechanism against possible illness or disease. <P> But aside from the nose, mucus is also produced in other parts of the body particularly in “mucus membranes” located in the intestines, the stomach, and the eyes among various other parts. Much of the function of mucus in various parts of the body is to ward off infectious organisms like bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

what is maximum dose of ibuprofen
|
<P> Maximum for tylenol is 4 Gm or 4,000 Mg and the Maximum for ibuprofen is 3.2 Gm or 3200 Mg-this is within a 24 HOUR period. 2400 Mg or 1800 Mg/24 hours is the most commonly prescribed for ibuprofen. I have taken care of TWO patients in the past; one who had tylenol toxicity and the other one had ibuprofen toxicity. <P> You can take ibuprofen over the counter. The recommended dose is 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours. Talk to your doctor though as mine has me take up to 4 tablets every 4 to 6 hours (the maximum and what takes it to prescription level). Absolutely makes cramps manageable for me. <P> The maximum daily dose for ibuprofen is different for children and adults. The dose will depend on the symptoms being treated, but the maximum does not change. The maximum dose of prescription ibuprofen for adults, elderly adults and adolescents is 3200 mg. per day, divided into three or four doses. The maximum dose of over-the-counter ibuprofen for the same groups is 1200 mg. per day <P> A. The maximum daily dose of ibuprofen is 3,200 mg. However, if you are taking that much ibuprofen, I would be asking you a lot of questions as to why and if you have been to the doctor or health care provider for further evaluation. <P> The dose of ibuprofen can range from 200 mg every 4 to 6 hours up to 800 mg every 6 hours. The maximum daily dose anyone should ever take is 800 mg every 6 hours or a total of 3200 mg per day. However, anything over the recommended over-the-counter dose of 200 mg should only be taken on the advise of your doctor. <P> Ibuprofen: Appropriate doses of ibuprofen in children is weight dependant. The maximum recommended dose is approximately 100 mg per 22 pounds of body weight every 6-8 hours for the shortest period of time possible. Long term use of ibuprofen and acetaminophen can cause organ damage even in recommended doses.

what is FFT and what does it stand for in matlab
|
<P> Time and frequency domain for the same signal. A fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm computes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a sequence, or its inverse. Fourier analysis converts a signal from its original domain (often time or space) to a representation in the frequency domain and vice versa. <P> The fft() function calculates the one-dimensional FFT of its input argument. If the input argument is a vector, then the operation is pretty simple to understand; the output is just the result of efficiently calculating a discrete Fourier transform on the input. The fft2() function calculates the two-dimensional FFT of a matrix. One way of envisioning this operation is to take standard one-dimensional FFTs down each column of the input matrix $A$ to yield a temporary result $B$. <P> Description. example. Y = fft(X) computes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of X using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. If X is a vector, then fft(X) returns the Fourier transform of the vector. If X is a matrix, then fft(X) treats the columns of X as vectors and returns the Fourier transform of each column. Input array, specified as a vector, matrix, or multidimensional array. Input arrays of 8-bit or 16-bit unsigned integers are cast to double prior to computing the Fourier transform. If X is an empty 0-by-0 matrix, then fft(X) returns an empty 0-by-0 matrix. <P> If the input is a matrix, then, as many MATLAB functions do, each column is treated as a separate one-dimensional signal and are transformed separately. Therefore, the $n$-th column of the output matrix corresponds to the DFT of the $n$-th column of the input matrix. The fft2() function calculates the two-dimensional FFT of a matrix. One way of envisioning this operation is to take standard one-dimensional FFTs down each column of the input matrix $A$ to yield a temporary result $B$. <P> When using FFT algorithms, a distinction is made between the window length and the transform length. The window length is the length of the input data vector. It is determined by, for example, the size of an external buffer. The transform length is the length of the output, the computed DFT. In this call to fft, the window length m = length(x) and the transform length n = length(y) are the same. The transform length is specified by an optional second argument: In this call to fft, the transform length is n. <P> Plot the pulse in the time domain. To use the fft function to convert the signal to the frequency domain, first identify a new input length that is the next power of 2 from the original signal length. This will pad the signal X with trailing zeros in order to improve the performance of fft. Input array, specified as a vector, matrix, or multidimensional array. Input arrays of 8-bit or 16-bit unsigned integers are cast to double prior to computing the Fourier transform. If X is an empty 0-by-0 matrix, then fft(X) returns an empty 0-by-0 matrix. <P> Symmetry: When the region between 0 and fs is examined, it can be seen that there is even symmetry around the center point, 0.5fs. 4. Matlab and the FFT Matlab's FFT function is an effective tool for computing the discrete Fourier transform of a signal. The following code examples will help you to understand the details of using the FFT function. <P> The MATLAB fft function returns the DFT y of an input vector x using a fast Fourier transform algorithm: In this call to fft, the window length m = length(x) and the transform length n = length(y) are the same. The transform length is specified by an optional second argument: In this call to fft, the transform length is n. If the length of x is less than n, x is padded with trailing zeros to increase its length to n before computing the DFT. If the length of x is greater than n, only the first n elements of x are used to compute the transform. <P> *. My last question: how do we understand convolution in matlab? For example: now we have two functions: x(t) and y(t), and t = 1:1:10, we want to get z(t) = x(t)*y(t). Obviously, length of z(t) should be the same as t, x(t) and y(t), i.e. 10. But if we use 'conv' function, we will get a result of length 2*10-1 = 19; if we use 'ifft(fft)', we will get a result of length 10 - the same length as x and y; if we use 'ifft(fft(x,n))', the result will be length n-the number we assigned. Hi, I'm trying to obtain convolution of two vectors using 'conv' and 'fft' function in matlab. For example: con_xy1 =. con_xy2 =. Obviously, the first six values in con_xy1 is identical to con_xy2.

what is an example of mechanical energy to thermal energy
|
<P> Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system. Thermal energy is one of various types of energy, where ' energy ' can be defined as 'the ability to do work.' Work is the movement of an object due to an applied force. Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or a system due to the movement of particles within that object or system. Energy is simply the ability to do work, and work is accomplished when a force moves an object. In this context, a system is a collection of objects within a boundary, like a pot of water. <P> Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Energy comes in various forms. Here are 5 main types of energy and examples of them. 1 mechanical energy. 2 Mechanical energy is energy that results from movement or the location of an object. 3 Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy. Examples: An object possessing mechanical energy has both kinetic and potential energy, although the energy of one of the forms may be equal to zero. A moving car has kinetic energy. If you move the car up a mountain, it has kinetic <P> The energy acquired by the objects upon which work is done is known as mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of position). <P> Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. In other words, it is energy in an object due to its motion or position, or both. In the 'open door' example above, I possess potential chemical energy (energy stored in me), and by lifting my hands to push the door, my action also had kinetic energy (energy in the motion of my hands). <P> -Thermal energy and mechanical energy are the sum of potential and kinetic energy. -They can change to another form of energy. -They can't be created or destro … yed due to the law of conservation of energy. Thermal energy is used to boil water which creates pressure that moves a piston. The movement of the piston or anything the piston moves is mechanical energy. 3 people found this useful. Edit. Share to: <P> Lesson Summary. In review, mechanical energy is energy possessed by an object due to its motion or its position. Energy is the ability to do work and work is accomplished when a force moves an object. Let's now look at some examples of mechanical energy. A demolition machine is a great example of both potential and kinetic mechanical energy. The wrecking ball possesses potential mechanical energy when it is raised to a vertical position above the ground. <P> The example of conversion of mechanical energy to thermal energy is the rubbing of hands. Thermal energy is used to boil water which creates pressure that moves a piston. The movement of the piston or anything the piston moves is mechanical energy. 3 people found this useful. Edit. Share to: <P> Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of heat. Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or a system due to the movement of particles within that object or system. Energy is simply the ability to do work, and work is accomplished when a force moves an object. In this context, a system is a collection of objects within a boundary, like a pot of water. <P> Because thermal energy is due to the movement of particles, it is a type of kinetic energy, which is the energy due to motion. Thermal energy results in something having an internal temperature, and that temperature can be measured-for example, in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit on a thermometer.

matrix reporting structure definition
|
<P> Definition of a matrix organization structure. This may incorporate solid lines (direct strong reporting) and dotted lines (a weaker reporting relationship, but still indicating some formal level of ‘right’ to the individual’s time) or it may mean multiple solid lines to more than one boss. How the structure evolves. Most organizations evolve from functional structures within a country or other geographic region. In this case, we have a number of functions such as manufacturing, legal, HR, sales, marketing, IT etc. each reporting to a country or region head. <P> It is a type of organizational structure in which people with similar skills are pooled for work assignments, resulting in more than one manager (sometimes referred to as solid line and dotted line reports, in reference to traditional business organization charts). Some organizations fall somewhere between the fully functional and the pure matrix. These organizations are defined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge as ’composite’. For example, even a fundamentally functional organization may create a special project team to handle a critical project. <P> A definition. The term “matrix team” is coming into regular usage, but how do we define a matrix team. In its strictest definition a matrix organization structure is where people have more than one boss. So we could simply define a matrix team as a team where individuals on the team report to more than one boss. However, there are a variety of forms of matrix management and matrix structures and the term matrix team has been used more widely to define teamwork in these more complex environments. <P> Matrix structure is only one of the three major structures. The other two are Functional and Project structure. Matrix management is more dynamic than functional management in that it is a combination of all the other structures and allows team members to share information more readily across task boundaries. <P> He also reports to his own line manager (line reporting). Structure In a matrix organization, a vertical structure combines with a horizontal structure, that is two divisions overlap on the same hierarchical level. Here, the principles of functional reporting and line reporting intersect. <P> STRUCTURE. Photo by: kentoh. Matrix management is a technique of managing an organization (or, more commonly, part of an organization) through a series of dual-reporting relationships instead of a more traditional linear management structure. <P> An organizational structure that facilitates the horizontal flow of skills and information. It is used mainly in the management of large projects or product development processes, drawing employees from different functional disciplines for assignment to a team without removing them from their respective positions. Show more usage examples... The matrix organization was optimal as there was a no central authority and all parties weighed in on their ideas equally. 10 people found this helpful. Sometimes it is best to use a matrix organization line of thinking when you are trying to come up with new plans to succeed. <P> Definition. A matrix organizational structure is a company structure in which the reporting relationships are set up as a grid, or matrix, rather than in the traditional hierarchy. In other words, employees have dual reporting relationships-generally to both a functional manager and a product manager. for Teachers for Schools for Companies. A matrix organizational structure is one of the most complicated reporting structures a company can implement. Read on to learn why a company might implement a matrix structure, and the advantages and disadvantages for both company and staff. <P> Matrix Organization Definition The matrix organization represents a two-dimensional hierarchy. This is based on positions reporting to more than one superior organizational object.

why is simple squamous epithelium in the nephron
|
<P> 1 Thin Loop of Henle. 2 Both the descending and ascending arms of the thin loop of Henle are histologically similar and are composed of a simple squamous epithelium. 3 These cells are not very metabolically active, consistent with the fact that they do not participate in any active transport of water or solutes. 1 As one traverses along the nephron, the morphology and functionality of the tubular epithelial cells changes, thus defining functional segments which are involved in resorption and secretion of different sets of molecules. 2 Here we only provide a brief histological description of the segments of the nephron <P> Other places simple squamous epithelia can be found include; the glomerulus of the kidney, the walls of capillaries, and the alveoli of the lungs, to name a few. Here they are forming a thin sheet-like layer which allows for minimal resistance to diffusion. Here we see simple squamous epithelia as seen in cross section. Simple Squamous Epithelium. In this silver stained, whole mount of a simple squamous epithleium, we see it as it would look from a top view. These cells are large, but quite thin, and have a prominent, protruding nucleus. A good analogy to their shape is the sunny-side-up fried egg. <P> Renal Corpuscle. Blood plasma is filtered here. Renal corpuscle consists of a ball of capillaries called glomerulus which is enclosed in glomerular capsule made up of a parietal layer with simple squamous epithelium and a visceral layer rich in cells called podocytes. The DCT is the end of the nephron, and is made up of cuboidal epithelium. It is shorter and less convoluted than PCT. Collecting Duct. The collecting duct passes down into the renal medulla and it receives fluid from many nephrons. <P> Overview. 1 The nephron is a long, winding tubule that extends from the Bowman's Capsule and ends in the renal papillae. 2 The nephron possesses a simple epithelium lined by a single layer of cells which can generically be referred to as tubular epithelial cells. 1 As one traverses along the nephron, the morphology and functionality of the tubular epithelial cells changes, thus defining functional segments which are involved in resorption and secretion of different sets of molecules. 2 Here we only provide a brief histological description of the segments of the nephron <P> The parietal epithelium of Bowman's Capsule is a layer of simple squamous epithelium lining the outer border of the corpuscle. The visceral epithelium of Bowman's capsule (or podocytes) surrounds the capillary endothelial cells, with mesangial cells filling in the spaces between closely apposed capillaries. Each nephron drains into a collecting tubule, which serves as a duct system to conduct the urine out of the Kidney. The glomeruli and the proximal and distal convoluted tubules are found in the cortex. The descending loop of Henle leaves the cortex and enters the medulla, returning to the cortex as the ascending loop. <P> (June 2011). Bowman's capsule (or the Bowman capsule, capsula glomeruli, or glomerular capsule) is a cup-like sac at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in the mammalian kidney that performs the first step in the filtration of blood to form urine. A glomerulus is enclosed in the sac. Fluids from blood in the glomerulus are collected in the Bowman's capsule (i.e., glomerular filtrate) and further processed along the nephron to form urine. This process is known as ultrafiltration. <P> Second, the loop of Henle, This has a thick descending portion (pars recta), a thin descending portion, a thin ascending portion, and a thick ascending portion. The lumen is made up of simple squamous epithelium. This part of the nephron is hard to tell apart from adjacent capillaries, except that there are no red blood cells in the lumen. Finally, the distal convoluted tubule. These tubules are less numerous than the proximal convoluted tubules. <P> Squamous. Squamous means scale-like. simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat scale-shaped cells. Both the endothelial lining of blood vessels and the mesothelial lining of the body cavities are simple squamous epithelium. Try to identify the simple squamous epithelia in these pictures. <P> Loop of Henle. The U-shaped nephron loop is divided into two portions: a descending limb that passes from cortex into the medulla; an ascending limb that passes from the medulla back to the cortex. Besides, loop of Henle is also divided into thick and thin segments. The DCT is the end of the nephron, and is made up of cuboidal epithelium. It is shorter and less convoluted than PCT. Collecting Duct. The collecting duct passes down into the renal medulla and it receives fluid from many nephrons.

how does the body process sucrose
|
<P> Fructose is a monosaccharide, or single sugar, that has the same chemical formula as glucose but a different molecular structure. Sometimes called fruit sugar, fructose is found in fruit, some vegetables, honey, and other plants. Fructose and other sugars are carbohydrates, an important source of energy for the body. <P> Glucose. Another type of simple sugar is glucose, which is the most common form of carbohydrate. It is derived from starches. When you eat starches, your body converts them to glucose, which raises blood sugar levels and supplies your body with energy. Your body metabolizes glucose via the intestinal tract, causing a rise in blood sugar. <P> Digestion. Sucrose digestion does not begin until the sugar reaches the small intestine. Your body cannot absorb polysaccharides as is, so it must first break sucrose down into its component parts. Through a process called hydrolysis, water assists in severing the glycosidic bond to separate the glucose and fructose molecules; one molecule of water is needed for each molecule of sucrose. However, this reaction naturally occurs very slowly <P> Sucrose, commonly known as table sugar, consists of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. Sugars like sucrose that consist of three or more molecules are called polysaccharides and are joined by a glycosidic bond, a special chemical link that binds carbohydrates together. Through a process called hydrolysis, water assists in severing the glycosidic bond to separate the glucose and fructose molecules; one molecule of water is needed for each molecule of sucrose. However, this reaction naturally occurs very slowly <P> Glucose is a carbohydrate, and is the most important simple sugar in human metabolism. Glucose is called a simple sugar or a monosaccharide because it is one of the smallest units which has the characteristics of this class of carbohydrates. Glucose is also sometimes called dextrose. Corn syrup is primarily glucose. Glucose. <P> Simple carbohydrates are classified as either monosaccharides or disaccharides. Monosaccharides are the simplest, most basic units of carbohydrates and are made up of only one sugar unit. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides and are the building blocks of sucrose, a disaccharide. Thus, disaccharides are just a pair of linked sugar molecules. They are formed when two monosaccharides are joined together and a molecule of water is removed -- a dehydration reaction. Sucrose is commonly known as table sugar, and is obtained from sugar cane or sugar beets. Fruits and vegetables also naturally contain sucrose. When sucrose is consumed, the enzyme beta-fructosidase separates sucrose into its individual sugar units of glucose and fructose. <P> Fructose, or fruit sugar, is a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion. Fructose was discovered by French chemist Augustin-Pierre Dubrunfaut in 1847. <P> Glucose and fructose are the two simple sugars in sucrose. Fruit sugar is made up of sucrose, the same disaccharide found in your sugar bowl, and fructose, which is also a simple sugar. About Sugar. Sugar is a carbohydrate. Sucrose, which you may know better as table sugar, is made from sugar beets or sugar cane and is a disaccharide, meaning it consists of two simple sugar molecules, or monosaccharides. <P> Sugar cane is a natural source of sucrose, or table sugar. Sucrose, glucose and fructose are important carbohydrates, commonly referred to as simple sugars. Sugar is found naturally in whole foods and is often added to processed foods to sweeten them and increase flavor. Sucrose is commonly known as table sugar, and is obtained from sugar cane or sugar beets. Fruits and vegetables also naturally contain sucrose. When sucrose is consumed, the enzyme beta-fructosidase separates sucrose into its individual sugar units of glucose and fructose.

what is the role of the mitochondria
|
<P> An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. The main function of the mitochondria is the … production of energy, in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The mitochondria provide energy for the cell. They are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they provide the location for the production of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). ATP is produced by aerobic respiration such as glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport <P> Mitochondria are the cell's power producers. They convert energy into forms that are usable by the cell. Located in the cytoplasm, they are the sites of cellular respiration which ultimately generates fuel for the cell's activities. Mitochondria are also involved in other cell processes such as cell division and growth, as well as cell death. <P> The function of the mitochondria in a plant cell is to support the function of the cell and the structure. The mitochondria usually has a membrane which has folds that are … stretched to provide a wider surface area for cellular activities. 1 person found this useful. The mitochondria provide energy for the cell. They are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they provide the location for the production of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). ATP is produced by aerobic respiration such as glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport <P> The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. The word mitochondrion comes from the Greek μίτος, mitos, i.e. thread, and χονδρίον, chondrion, i.e. granule or grain-like. Mitochondria range from 0.5 to 1.0 μm in diameter. A dominant role for the mitochondria is the production of ATP, as reflected by the large number of proteins in the inner membrane for this task. This is done by oxidizing the major products of glucose: pyruvate, and NADH, which are produced in the cytosol. <P> Mitochondria are well-defined cytoplasmic organelles of the cell which take part in a variety of cellular metabolic functions. Survival of the cells requires energy to perform different functions. The mitochondria are important as the fact that these organelles supply all the necessary biological energy of the cell, and they obtain this energy by oxidizing the substrates of the Krebs cycle. Functions of Mitochondria. The most prominent function of mitochondria is to produce energy to the cell in the form of ATP through oxidative respiration process. It also regulates the metabolic activity of the cell. <P> Mitochondria are unusual organelles. They act as the power plants of the cell, are surrounded by two membranes, and have their own genome. They also divide independently of the cell in which they reside, meaning mitochondrial replication is not coupled to cell division. At the inner mitochondrial membrane, a high energy electron is passed along an electron transport chain. The energy released pumps hydrogen out of the matrix space. The gradient created by this drives hydrogen back through the membrane, through ATP synthase. <P> The main function of mitochondria is the production of energy during the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via the TCA Cycle (which is also as the Krebs Cycle and the Citric Acid Cycle). That process is an important metabolic pathway (see also what is metabolism). Production of energy. ATP Synthesis. The main function of mitochondria is the production of ATP. According to many textbooks: Energy production within cells is the main function of mitochondria. However, some students are told not to state that mitochondria produce or create energy.

where do cocoa beans grow
|
<P> Cocoa beans grow best where there are fairly constant, warm or even hot temperatures all year round (usually in the 65 to 90 degree F range). For cocoa beans to thrive, they need high humidity and a lot of rainfall (from about 40 to 100 inches per year). Cocoa beans grow poorly in any kind of cold or drought conditions. Additionally, cocoa beans grow best where there is a lot of light. <P> Cocoa beans come from the cocoa tree, Theobroma cacao. The beans grow in green fruits that turn orange when ripened. The seeds of these fruits are toasted and processed to produce various cocoa and chocolate products. <P> People grow cocoa trees in order to sell the cocoa beans that are in the pods. The kernel of the cocoa beans is used to make cocoa and chocolate. In the countries of Europe and North America people eat a lot of cocoa and chocolate. But the cocoa tree does not grow in their countries; they buy cocoa from Africa. <P> Cocoa beans grow on a tree called Theobroma cacao and are the base ingredient for making chocolate. The relatively small tree is native to the tropical regions of Central and South America and it thrives in moist, shady areas of the rain forest. <P> Pods containing cocoa beans grow from the trunk and branches of the cocoa tree. Harvesting involves removing ripe pods from the trees and opening them to extract the wet beans. Pods are suitable for harvest for 3 to 4 weeks, after which time the beans begin to germinate. <P> World-wide, far more cocoa beans grow in Cote d’Ivoire than anywhere else. That country is the world’s largest producer of cocoa beans; about one-third of the world’s annual harvest of cocoa beans grow in Cote d’Ivoire. Other top cocoa bean growers include Ghana and Indonesia. <P> One of the reasons why people ask us “Where do cocoa beans grow” is because they are interested in knowing whether they can grow cocoa beans in their house into a cocoa tree. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to grow cocoa trees indoors – especially in the United States. <P> Cocoa beans grow into beautiful trees; these trees grow most successfully in a narrow band called the Cocoa Belt or the Chocolate Belt; this band extends up to 20 degrees of latitude north and south of the equator.

where glaciers are formed
|
<P> Glaciers are massive bodies of ice that slowly move across the landscape. They form by layers of snow compacted over the years to form a very thick layer of ice. Two primary types of glaciers exist: continental and alpine. Continental glaciers are large, dome-shaped sheets of ice and are vastly spread throughout the land. Alpine glaciers are found in mountain regions and in their valleys <P> As a glacier retreats, it leaves behind large piles of rock, gravel, and even boulders. These sediment deposits are called moraines. Moraines may form at the foot (terminal moraine) or sides (lateral moraine) of the glacier or in the middle of two merging glaciers (medial moraine). A glacial moraine in Kyrgyzstan. Photo courtesy of Martin Talbot via Flickr. <P> Glaciers are made up of fallen snow that, over many years, compresses into large, thickened ice masses. Glaciers form when snow remains in one location long enough to transform into ice. What makes glaciers unique is their ability to move. Due to sheer mass, glaciers flow like very slow rivers. Some glaciers are as small as football fields, while others grow to be dozens or even hundreds of kilometers long <P> 1 When two alpine glaciers merge together at the base of a mountain it is called a piedmont glacier. 2 If the piedmont flows into the sea, it is called a tidewater glacier. 3 Valley glaciers are formed in mountain valleys. 4 Cirque glaciers are confined to the valley. They form by layers of snow compacted over the years to form a very thick layer of ice. Two primary types of glaciers exist: continental and alpine. Continental glaciers are large, dome-shaped sheets of ice and are vastly spread throughout the land. <P> Lateral moraines are formed on the sides of the glacier. Medial moraines are formed when two different glaciers merge and the lateral moraines of each coalesce to form a moraine in the middle of the combined glacier. Glacial moraines are formed by the deposition of material from a glacier and are exposed after the glacier has retreated. They usually appear as linear mounds of till, a non-sorted mixture of rock, gravel and boulders within a matrix of a fine powdery material. <P> Glaciers begin to form when snow remains in the same area year-round, where enough snow accumulates to transform into ice. Each year, new layers of snow bury and compress the previous layers. This compression forces the snow to re-crystallize, forming grains similar in size and shape to grains of sugar. At this point, it is about two-thirds as dense as water. Over time, larger ice crystals become so compressed that any air pockets between them are very tiny. In very old glacier ice, crystals can reach several inches in length. For most glaciers, this process takes more than a hundred years. <P> Glacier Formation. There are two types of places on Earth where glaciers form: at the north and south poles, where it's always really cold; and at high elevations, such as large mountain ranges. A glacier is basically an accumulation of snow that lasts for more than a year. <P> Alpine glaciers. Alpine glaciers begin high up in the mountains in bowl-shaped hollows called cirques. As the glacier grows, the ice slowly flows out of the cirque and into a valley. Several cirque glaciers can join together to form a single valley glacier. When valley glaciers flow out of the mountains, they spread out and join to form a piedmont glacier. The ice in contact with the valley walls contains a lot of rock and sediment which makes the ice dark grey or brown. <P> Ice shelves form when glaciers reach the sea and begin to float. The Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica is a famous ice shelf. Chunks of ice can break off an ice shelf or a glacier that reaches the sea. This is called calving. The ice chucks form icebergs up to 250 km long and 100 km wide. Very small icebergs are called bergy bits. When a glacier melts, all of the rock, sand and mud that it was carrying gets left behind. Geologists call this mixture of sediment till. <P> A glacier (US /ˈɡleɪʃər/ or UK /ˈɡlaesiə/) ˈɡlæsiə is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own; weight it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its (ablation melting and) sublimation over many, years often. centuries Glacial moraines are formed by the deposition of material from a glacier and are exposed after the glacier has retreated. They usually appear as linear mounds of till, a non-sorted mixture of rock, gravel and boulders within a matrix of a fine powdery material.

what does proxima centauri look like
|
<P> Proxima’s orbit around the two primary stars in the Alpha Centauri system is thought to take as long as half a billion years. It’s the closest star to our Earth and sun, about a trillion kilometers closer than the other two star in the Alpha Centauri system. Hence its name. Bottom line: The Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to our sun. On our sky’s dome, we see this multiple system as a single star – the third-brightest star visible from Earth. Charts, photos and info about this fascinating star system. <P> View full size image. The star Proxima Centauri lies a scant 4 light-years from Earth, making it the closest stellar neighbor to our own sun and a perfect target for the Hubble Space Telescope. In this Hubble telescope photo, Proxima Centauri shines as a bright point-like object, but that appearance is deceiving. The image does not show the other two stars which make up a triple star system with Proxima Centauri. Its two companions, Alpha Centauri A and B, lie outside the frame. Hubble acquired the image in 1996, and NASA unveiled it in 2013. <P> Therefore its temperature and color also match those of the Sun. Alpha Centauri B is an orange star with a spectral type of K1. Whereas Alpha Centauri A and B are stars like the Sun, Proxima is a dim red dwarf with a spectral type of M5 - much fainter, cooler, and smaller than the Sun. Proxima is so faint that astronomers did not discover it until 1915. <P> Proxima is the closest star to Earth. Faint red Proxima Centauri – at only 3,100 K and 500 times less bright than our sun – is nearly a fifth of a light year from Alpha Centauri A and B. This great distance is what calls into question its status as part of a triple star system. Bottom line: The Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to our sun. On our sky’s dome, we see this multiple system as a single star – the third-brightest star visible from Earth. Charts, photos and info about this fascinating <P> A red dwarf with the mass of Proxima Centauri will remain on the main sequence for about four trillion years. As the proportion of helium increases because of hydrogen fusion, the star will become smaller and hotter, gradually transforming from red to blue. Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf, because it belongs to the main sequence on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and is of spectral class M6. M6 means that it falls in the low-mass end of M-type stars. <P> As the nearest star from our Solar System, Proxima Centauri is a prime candidate for future interstellar travel and space colonization missions. X-Ray image of Proxima Centauri. Now, even if Proxima Centauri is the nearest star, it is still 4.2 light years away. That’s about 4 x 10 13 km. The spacecraft that would take the first explorers to that system would have to rely on a virtually unlimited supply of energy. Furthermore, sufficient shielding against cosmic radiation should be in place. <P> Image: Proxima Centauri (shown by the arrow) in relation to Centauri A and B. The latter appear as a single bright object at upper left. Credit: European Southern Observatory. In his book Alpha Centauri: The Nearest Star (New York: William Morrow & Company, 1976), Isaac Asimov imagined what Proxima Centauri would look like from a planet around either of the binary stars. At first glance, one expects that the Alpha Centauri planets will be very dry. The period of the AB binary pair is only 79 years. The orbital eccentricity, e=0.52, indicates that the stars come within 11.2 AU of each other at close approach. <P> Proxima Centauri is very likely part of a triple star system with Alpha Centauri A and B, but its orbital period may be greater than 500,000 years. Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf, because it belongs to the main sequence on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and is of spectral class M6. M6 means that it falls in the low-mass end of M-type stars. <P> Alpha Centauri is part of a double, or triple, star system. The two main components are Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. The third star, a red dwarf called Proxima Centauri, is thought to be about 4.22 light-years distant and is actually our sun’s closest neighbor among the stars. Bottom line: The Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to our sun. On our sky’s dome, we see this multiple system as a single star – the third-brightest star visible from Earth.

what are proteolytic enzymes
|
<P> Proteolytic enzymes (proteases) help you digest the proteins in food. Although your body produces these enzymes in the pancreas, certain foods also contain proteolytic enzymes. Papaya and pineapple are two of the richest plant sources, as attested by their traditional use as natural tenderizers for meat. Another theory popular in certain alternative medicine circles suggests that proteolytic enzymes can aid rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and other autoimmune diseases. Supposedly, these diseases are made worse when whole proteins from foods leak into the blood and cause immune reactions. <P> (1). Proteolytic enzymes or protease can be used, in part, to digest complete proteins that are in meat. Yet, outside of meals, they have been harnessed for a multitude of healing processes, sometimes exclusively and sometimes in conjunction with other therapies. <P> A protease (also called peptidase or proteinase) is any enzyme that performs proteolysis, that is, begins protein catabolism by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that link amino acids together in a polypeptide chain. Proteases have evolved multiple times, and different classes of protease can perform the same reaction by completely different catalytic mechanisms. Proteases can be found in animals, plants, bacteria, archaea and viruses. <P> Proteolytic enzymes can also be absorbed into the body whole and may help reduce inflammation and pain; 2,44-46 however, the evidence is inconsistent. Several studies found that proteolytic enzymes might be helpful for neck pain, osteoarthritis, and post-herpetic neuralgia (an aftereffect of shingles). Another theory popular in certain alternative medicine circles suggests that proteolytic enzymes can aid rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and other autoimmune diseases. Supposedly, these diseases are made worse when whole proteins from foods leak into the blood and cause immune reactions. <P> By Steven Hefferon, CMT, PTA, CPRS. Proteolytic enzymes, also referred to as proteases, are enzymes that break down proteins into their smallest elements. If this breakdown of proteins happens in your gut, we call the enzymes digestive, because they help us digest our food. Systemic proteolytic enzymes, however, have a completely different purpose, so please don't confuse the two. When taken on an empty stomach, proteolytic enzymes will pass through the stomach or intestine lining and enter the circulatory system. This is why they are called systemic - once they enter the circulatory system, they circulate throughout the body <P> Broad Spectrum Proteolytic Enzyme Formulation. Best Proteolytic Enzymes is a potent formulation containing a broad spectrum of vegetarian proteolytic enzymes. Proteolytic enzymes function in the body to digest and break down proteins into their amino acid components. Studies show that various proteolytic enzymes are absorbed through the gut wall into circulation. Enzymes are required to facilitate chemical reactions throughout the body <P> The most important thing that systemic proteolytic enzymes do is to break down excess fibrin in your circulatory system and in other connective tissue, such as your muscles. These enzymes bring nutrients and oxygen-rich blood that remove the metabolic waste produced by inflammation and excess fibrin. Systemic proteolytic enzymes, however, have a completely different purpose, so please don't confuse the two. When taken on an empty stomach, proteolytic enzymes will pass through the stomach or intestine lining and enter the circulatory system. This is why they are called systemic - once they enter the circulatory system, they circulate throughout the body <P> Doctor's Best Proteolytic Enzymes is a potent formulation delivering a broad spectrum of vegetarian proteolytic enzymes.

what is sun in
|
<P> The Sun is a huge, glowing sphere of hot gas. Most of this gas is hydrogen (about 70%) and helium (about 28%). Carbon, nitrogen and oxygen make up 1.5% and the other 0.5% is made up of small amounts of many other elements such as neon, iron, silicon, magnesium and sulfur. <P> Compared with the billions of other stars in the universe, the sun is unremarkable. But for Earth and the other planets that revolve around it, the sun is a powerful center of attention. It holds the solar system together; pours life-giving light, heat, and energy on Earth; and generates space weather. The sun is a big star. The sun's surface, or atmosphere, is divided into three regions: the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the solar corona. The photosphere is the visible surface of the sun and the lowest layer of the atmosphere. <P> The photosphere is the lowest layer of the sun's atmosphere, and emits the light we see. It is about 300 miles (500 km) thick, although most of the light comes from its lowest third. Temperatures in the photosphere range from 11,000 F (6,125 C) at bottom to 7,460 F (4,125 C) at top. The solar atmosphere above that consists of the photosphere, chromosphere, a transition region and the corona. Beyond that is the solar wind, an outflow of gas from the corona. The core extends from the sun's center to about a quarter of the way to its surface. Although it only makes up roughly 2 percent of the sun's volume, it is almost 15 times the density of leadand holds nearly half of the sun's mass. Next is the radiative zone, which extends from the core to 70 percent of the way to the sun's surface, making up 32 percent of the sun's volume and 48 percent of its mass <P> Answers. Relevance. Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Sun in is water and peroxide...with a few other chemicals tossed in...What makes it different is it supposed to be a easy way to create natural highlights, and for very light brown and blonde hair it works, but not without damage to the hair! The point of it is to spray in your hair, and let the sun mix with the chemicals and lighten it. It won't work for dark hair, and could possibly make it splotchy. It works best on lighter hair if you must use it. <P> The Sun (in Greek: Helios, in Latin: Sol) is the star at the center of the Solar System and is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. It is a nearly perfect spherical ball of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. In the Sun's outer layer, from its surface to approximately 200,000 km below (70% of the solar radius from the center), the temperature is lower than in the radiative zone and heavier atoms are not fully ionized. As a result, radiative heat transport is less effective. <P> The Sun is the center of the Solar System and the source of all life and energy here on Earth. It accounts for more than 99.86% of the mass of the Solar System and it’s gravity dominates all the planets and objects that orbit it. The Sun is presently in it’s main sequence phase, which is characterized by the ongoing production of thermal energy through nuclear fusion. Currently, more than four million tonnes of matter is converted into energy within the core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation. <P> The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star that comprises about 99.86% of the mass of the Solar System. The Sun has an absolute magnitude of +4.83, estimated to be brighter than about 85% of the stars in the Milky Way, most of which are red dwarfs. The Sun is a Population I, or heavy-element-rich, star. In the Sun's outer layer, from its surface to approximately 200,000 km below (70% of the solar radius from the center), the temperature is lower than in the radiative zone and heavier atoms are not fully ionized. As a result, radiative heat transport is less effective. <P> The sun is a big ball of hot gases. The gases are converted into energy in the sun's core. The energy moves outward through the interior layers, into the sun's atmosphere, and is released into the solar system as heat and light. These elements are created in the sun's core, which makes up 25 percent of the sun. Gravitational forces create tremendous pressure and temperatures in the core. The temperature of the sun in this layer is about 27 million degrees F (15 million degrees C). <P> Deep in the sun's core, nuclear fusion reactions convert hydrogen to helium, which generates energy. Particles of light called photons carry this energy through the sun's spherical shell, called the radiative zone, to the top layer of the solar interior, the convection zone. The sun's surface, or atmosphere, is divided into three regions: the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the solar corona. The photosphere is the visible surface of the sun and the lowest layer of the atmosphere.

If you have wheat germ oil on hand it is a lovely addition, too. 1 Note: It is nice to use a variety of oils to make up the 1 cup. 2 Such as 2/3 cup grapeseed and 1/3 cup safflower. 3 <P> If you only use one essential oil, this is it! Lavender (lavandula angustifolia) is the most versatile of all essential oils. Most commonly known for its relaxing effects on the body, therapeutic-grade lavender has been highly regarded for the skin. It may be used to cleanse cuts, bruises and skin irritations. <P> 2. Let the lavender dry. If you are using fresh lavender, dry it first in shade or wrapped in a cloth, to enhance its aroma and minimize the chance of the oil becoming rancid. Tie the sprig up with rubber bands or a string and let it hang upside down in a dry, warm area. 1. Cut sprigs of fresh lavender or purchase them dried. Cut off the stems of lavender along with the flowers, in 6 inch (15 centimeter) segments or longer. The leaves and new stems can be used to infuse oil as well as the flowers, although the woody, thick stems near the base should be avoided. You may use flower buds or strong-smelling flowers <P> http://waysandhow.com.

characteristics of leukocytes
|
<P> The cellular components of blood include erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and platelets. Normal human blood contains 4.8 - 5.2 million erythrocytes/ m l and 4000 - 10,000 leukocytes/ m l. Leukocytes are divided into five classes based on morphological and tinctorial characteristics when stained. The five classes of leukocytes are: 1 neutrophils (40% - 75%). 2 eosinophils (1% - 6%). 3 basophils (less than 1%). <P> Monocytes account for 2 to 10 percent of all leukocytes. They are agranulocytes, meaning that their cytoplasm lacks granules. These cells spend up to a day in the bloodstream before moving into tissues (generally the liver, lungs and lymph nodes). Eosinophils. Eosinophils comprise 1 to 6 percent of the total leukocyte count. Like neutrophils, eosinophils migrate from the bone marrow to the extravascular tissue, where they wait for an infection to occur. Eosinophils can survive in this tissue for several weeks. <P> Types of Leukocytes. Leukocytes, which is an alternate name for white blood cells, are responsible for a stronger immune system of the body. They are present throughout our body, including the blood and lymphatic system, to safeguard our body from infectious diseases and unknown bodies that enter our system to harm us. Leukocyte is another name for white blood cells. There are different types of leukocytes that exist in our body, each having a significant function of their own. This Buzzle article discusses the various kinds and functions of each kind <P> Monocytes and neutrophils are phagocytic. The number of leukocytes in the blood is often an indicator of disease, and thus the WBC count is an important subset of the complete blood count. The normal white cell count is usually between 4 and 11 × 10 9 /L. In the US this is usually expressed as 4,000–11,000 white blood cells per microliter of blood. <P> White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All leukocytes are produced and derived from a multipotent cell in the bone marrow known as a hematopoietic stem cell. Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the blood and lymphatic system. Five different and diverse types of leukocytes exist. The number of leukocytes in the blood is often an indicator of disease, and thus the WBC count is an important subset of the complete blood count. The normal white cell count is usually between 4 and 11 × 10 9 /L.

Leukocytes, or white blood cells, are vital to the body’s ability to fight off infection and promote healing. There are five types of leukocytes, each with distinct morphologies and functions. Monocytes use phagocytosis to ingest cellular debris and cancer cells. Antibody production is another function of leukocytes. This process is vital in addressing the threat of repeat infections. Antibodies are produced by lymphocytes in response to the presence of a foreign invader, known as an antigen. <P> Leukocytes, or white blood cells, are vital to the body’s ability to fight off infection and promote healing.

They make up 60-70% of the total amount of white blood cells. Neutrophils have 3 types of granules: 1 azure granules (lysosomes), 2 secretory granules in salmon pink cytoplasm, anti-microbial enzymes. <P> Granular vs. Nongranular Cytoplasm. The five types of leukocytes are divided into two categories: granulocytes and nongranulocytes. Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are granulocytes.

<P> The average salary in Scotland has risen by 23% in the past five years, according to figures published today. Research by the Bank of Scotland revealed average earnings had gone up from £23,080 in 2003 to £28,296 in 2008 - an annual increase of 4.2%. <P> Pay for middle and senior management jobs would be higher, at least £10,000 higher in my estimation. Average salary throughout Britain and over all jobs is over £24,000 (£24,740 in 2003). The lowest paid areas are in Scotland, Wales and the north of England. Average pay in the Scottish borders was £18,491 in 2003. <P> We always index an individual's earnings to the average wage level two years prior to the year of first eligibility. Thus, for a person retiring at age 62 in 2015, we would index the person's earnings to the average wage index for 2013, or 44,888.16. <P> Aberdeen experienced the biggest growth in earnings in the past five years, increasing by 41% to £35,959, almost double the average national rise. The city has the highest wages in Scotland. Edinburgh came second, with earnings of £33,004, while in third place was the Shetland Islands at £29,219. In Glasgow, the average salary is £28,400. <P> In April 2013 the gross median weekly earning for full-time employees in Scotland were £508.30, an increase of 2.1% over the year. Scotland’s median earnings were the third highest of the 12 UK countries and regions (with only London and the South East having higher average earnings). <P> The average chief executive of a FTSE-listed company earned the the average Scottish wage of £27,045 in just over two days of work last year, making their annual salary 123 times the average Scottish wage. <P> Share.

weight of a roll of pennies
|
<P> Confidence votes 71.8K. All pennies minted after 1982 weigh 2.5 grams each. (Older pennies weigh 3.11 grams) Newer cents are made of zinc because the price of copper increased so much that a copper penny was worth more than one cent. So a roll (50 pennies) would weigh (2.5g times 50 = 125 grams) (125g divided by 28.35 ounces = 4.41oz) (4.41oz divided by 16oz =.28lb) Summary. Modern zinc (1982-present) pennies weigh 2.5 grams each, and copper pennies (pre-1982) weigh 3.11 grams each. 50 new ones weigh 125 grams and 50 old ones weigh 155.5 grams. A … mix of the two weighs somewhere in the middle. 50 US pennies would weigh about .338 pounds <P> Here are some estimates of weight... New, unused or uncirculated copper cents weigh about 3.11 grams each or about 145 copper pennies per pound. New zinc cents are much lighter and weigh only 2.5 grams each yielding about 180 zinc pennies in a pound. And there are about 80 uncirculated quarters in a pound. Those numbers of pennies per pound are of course for new, uncirculated, zinc or copper cents. When minted, new copper cents weigh about 3.11 grams each and new zinc cents about 2.5 grams each and that is our basis for the number of <P> So there are about 180 zinc cents / pennies per pound. Those numbers of pennies per pound are of course for new, uncirculated, zinc or copper cents. When minted, new copper cents weigh about 3.11 grams each and new zinc cents about 2.5 grams each and that is our basis for the number of pennies in a pound. However, once they are put in circulation, they start to ware thinner and thinner <P> To calculate a partial roll of coins, enter a decimal value in the appropriate text box. For example, a value of 1.5 will equal 1½ rolls of coins. Do take into account the number of coins in a particular coin roll. A value of 1.5 in a dime roll text box would equal 75 total dimes, since there are 50 dimes in a roll.

If the date is 1983 or later, it is made of 97.5% zinc and plated with a thin copper coating. Pennies made after 1983 weigh 2.5 grams. One pound of pennies weigh 453.6 grams. It would take 181.4 pennies to equal one pound. Pennies made from 1959 to 1982 weigh 3.11 grams so it would take 145.7 pennies from this era to make a pound.

what age should a kid move up to a booster seat
|
<P> Children should begin to ride in a booster seat when they have outgrown their forward-facing car seat, usually when they are over 40 pounds. (If the upper weight limit of the forward-facing car seat with harness is higher than 40 pounds, then they should move to a booster seat when they reach the upper weight limit.). Unlike car seats, booster seats use the adult lap and shoulder seat belt to buckle children in safely. A child is too big for his booster seat when the adult seat belt fits right. (See below for information on when the seat belt fits correctly.). Children can ride safely in a seat belt when the seat belt fits right, typically when they are at least 4'9 tall, around and 8 years old. The seat belt fits right when: <P> Children should ride in a forward-facing seat with a harness when they are more than 20 pounds and are over one year of age. A child is too big for the forward-facing car seat when: He reaches the upper weight limit for the car seat. A child is too big for his booster seat when the adult seat belt fits right. (See below for information on when the seat belt fits correctly.). Children can ride safely in a seat belt when the seat belt fits right, typically when they are at least 4'9 tall, around and 8 years old. The seat belt fits right when: <P> Age 2 up to at least Age 5: Forward-facing car seat. When children outgrow their rear-facing seats they should be buckled in a forward-facing car seat, in the back seat, until at least age 5 or when they reach the upper weight or height limit of their particular seat. Make sure children are properly buckled up in a car seat, booster seat, or seat belt, whichever is appropriate for their age, height and weight. Birth up to Age 2: Rear <P> Pay close attention to the weight limits of the car seat and be sure you're looking at the forward-facing harness weight limit, not the booster weight limit (if it is a combination car seat). When your child is forward-facing, the harness slots should be at or above the child's shoulders. One of my sons was able to stay in his harnessed car seat until he was 6. My youngest son is almost 3 now, is fairly tall, and still has plenty of room to grow in his rear-facing car seat. For most kids, there shouldn't be a reason to move to a booster at age 3. <P> When your child does move to a backless booster, be sure that they have a vehicle head restraint behind their head, at least up to the tips of their ears. Generally, kids will need a booster until they are 4’9″ tall, which happens around age 11 for most kids. That means the decision to move from harness to booster is rooted in the child’s maturity. The ability to sit correctly for the entire ride, 100% of the time, happens somewhere past age 5 for most kids, and not until 6 or 7 for a many others. Booster training in the Graco TurboBooster with Safety Surround. <P> The Bottom Line. Before moving to a booster seat, your child should be: 1 At least 5 years old. 2 Meet the weight and height minimums for the booster seat you’re considering. 3 Responsible enough to sit properly 100% of the time, even while asleep. That means the decision to move from harness to booster is rooted in the child’s maturity. The ability to sit correctly for the entire ride, 100% of the time, happens somewhere past age 5 for most kids, and not until 6 or 7 for a many others. Booster training in the Graco TurboBooster with Safety Surround. <P> Stephanie Tombrello. child passenger safety specialist. You can safely switch your child to a booster seat if she's at least 4 years old and she weighs 40 pounds or more or has grown too tall for her car seat (when her shoulders are higher than the top set of harness-strap slots in the car seat's back). In a crash, belt-positioning seats are far safer. (If you have only lap belts in the rear of your car, select a booster seat with an extra energy absorber belt.) Backless booster seats tend to provide a better fit than the high-back kind, and are more portable when you're switching them from car to car. <P> Keep your child in a booster seat until he or she is big enough to fit in a seat belt properly. For a seat belt to fit properly the lap belt must lie snugly across the upper thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder belt should lie snugly across the shoulder and chest and not cross the neck or face. Your child should remain in a rear-facing car seat until he or she reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat’s manufacturer. Once your child outgrows the rear-facing car seat, your child is ready to travel in a forward-facing car seat with a harness and tether.

brake pads rotors cost
|
<P> Most new cars (1999 and above) come with rotors at each wheel. Older cars may have drums instead of rotors at the rear wheels. Brake rotors play an important part in the braking system. It is the friction between brake pads and rotors that cause your car to slow down and stop. <P> Your mechanic should measure the rotor thickness every time the brake pads are replaced. Brake rotors usually last twice as long as brake pads, which usually means you need to replace rotors every other brake service. If you drive the car with worn-out brake pads for too long, you will destroy the rotors. <P> The average cost for a brake pad and rotor replacement is between $297 to $406. Labor costs are estimated between $152 to $193 while parts are priced between $145 to $213. Get a personalized estimate based on your location and specific car. Estimate does not include taxes and fees. <P> 1 For work on front and back brakes, CostHelper readers reported paying $273-$1,025 for an average of $567 at standard repair shops, or $280-$935 for an average of $578 at dealerships. <P> At most dealerships or other types of repair facilities, replacing your brake rotors, on average, will cost somewhere between $30 and $60 for each of the wheels. Replacing brake rotors is considered more labor intensive than just doing normal brake maintenance jobs, like replacing your brake pads. <P> Brake rotors should be measured at every brake pad replacement. If found to be at or below the manufacturer's minimum thickness specification, they will require replacement. These measurements should always be noted on your repair order. We recommend braking gently for the first 40 to 50 miles of driving on new pads. <P> $300 for all four brake pads, rotors, and labor sounds completely reasonable. $200 would be almost suspiciously cheap and $400 would start becoming a ripoff. As was said, you don't HAVE TO buy rotors. If they're still thick enough, they can turn them to make them true again. <P> Parts: $145 - $213. The average cost for a brake pad and rotor replacement is between $297 to $406. Labor costs are estimated between $152 to $193 while parts are priced between $145 to $213.

what stimulates the renin angiotensin aldosterone system
|
<P> Aldosterone stimulates the retention of sodium (salt) and the excretion of potassium by the kidneys. Renin is produced by the kidneys and controls the activation of the hormone angiotensin, which stimulates the adrenal glands to produce aldosterone. The kidneys release renin when there is a drop in blood pressure or a decrease in sodium chloride concentration in the tubules in the kidney. Renin cleaves the blood protein angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I, which is then converted by a second enzyme to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to constrict, and it stimulates aldosterone production. Overall, this raises blood pressure and keeps sodium and potassium at normal levels. <P> Renin, which is primarily released by the kidneys, stimulates the formation of angiotensin in blood and tissues, which in turn stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. Renin is a proteolytic enzyme that is released into the circulation primarily by the kidneys. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway is not only regulated by the mechanisms that stimulate renin release, but it is also modulated by natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) released by the heart. These natriuretic peptides acts as an important counter-regulatory system <P> RAAS Activation. In the event of blood pressure dropping, renin is secreted due to the decreased stretch of the juxtaglomerular cells and an increased sympathetic stimulation, triggered by the decreased activation of arterial baroreceptors. This enzyme cleaves the alpha glycoprotein, angiotensinogen, which is released from the liver. <P> Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in regulating blood volume and systemic vascular resistance, which together influence cardiac output and arterial pressure. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway is not only regulated by the mechanisms that stimulate renin release, but it is also modulated by natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) released by the heart. These natriuretic peptides acts as an important counter-regulatory system <P> Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System. It is important for the body to keep sodium and water balances in check, and also to maintain healthy blood volume and blood pressure. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system assists with this in the following manner: 1 The glomulerus, a bundle of capillary blood vessels found in the kidney, senses a drop in blood flow or sodium and secretes an enzyme called renin into the bloodstrea <P> This increases the volume of extracellular fluid in the body, which also increases blood pressure. If the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system is abnormally active, blood pressure will be too high. There are many drugs that interrupt different steps in this system to lower blood pressure. Angiotensin II also stimulates the secretion of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone causes the tubules of the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium and water into the blood, while at the same time causing the excretion of potassium (to maintain electrochemical balance). <P> The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) or the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is a hormone system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance.

cost per square foot for a manufactured home
|
<P> Watch our informative video on price per square foot costs for a prefab home. This article is part of our Definitive Guide to Building Modular. When asking how much a modular home will cost to build, many different sources will give you many different answers. Some companies will tell you that they can build you a home for as low as $35 per square foot, but what they are quoting you is only the base price. When talking about the cost of a modular home there are a few different terms used to distinguish which price you’re referring to. <P> That is probably not the answer you are looking for but it is the most accurate. You should expect to pay about $90-$150 per square foot for a finished standard modular home. That means you can find quality modular homes for between $100,000 and $300,000. You may come across price quotes for $40-$80 per square foot. Those price quotes are typically not for a finished home. Some homebuyers spend over $100,000 to finish their modular home. You may also come across modular home prices for $150-$200 per square foot. <P> You can find manufactured homes asa low as $59 a square foot and as high as $95 a square foot if they are located on the golf course. I would say, however, that the average is $75 to $80 a square foot. <P> Prefab home prices will vary depending where you live. A general guide is that stick-built houses cost upwards of $150 per square foot while mobile/manufactured homes will cost $40-$80 per sq. ft. Modular housing prices will be about $90-$150 per sq. ft. For more precise pricing estimates, use our directory of home builders. <P> 1 An upscale 3,200-square-foot modular home delivered in eight pieces in Maryland had a base price of $300,000 but the extras, including a basement, septic fields, porches, a driveway, permits and other charges, bumped the total to about $560,000. <P> You can add $10 to $100 per square foot to a home by upgrading from the fewest and least expensive features to a large number of expensive ones. For example, stained cedar siding costs much more than vinyl siding. Some imported tile floors are substantially more expensive than carpet. The additional on-site construction will cost more per square foot than the part built at the factory. You might ask for a modular home price per square foot for a given style of house. But there are many types of each style of home. Compare a typical one-story ranch with a straight roof line to a large contemporary one-story with multiple rooflines and attic storage <P> A “modular home price per square foot” is always misleading in part because the cost to build a home varies considerably depending on the design. For example, one-story homes are usually more expensive per square foot than two-story homes, if you keep everything else the same. The additional on-site construction will cost more per square foot than the part built at the factory. You might ask for a modular home price per square foot for a given style of house. But there are many types of each style of home. Compare a typical one-story ranch with a straight roof line to a large contemporary one-story with multiple rooflines and attic storag <P> The general Ballpark price for a modular home is about $58-$70 per square foot for our models with our standard, high quality specifications. Larger colonial homes tend to be on the lower end of this range, with ranch and cape styles being towards the higher end. <P> Today, buyers can find a wide selection -- from studio units to single-family homes -- for a variety of prices. The cost per square foot for a typical modular home is $76.80, according to the National Association of Home Builders. The average stick-built home costs $94.34 per square foot.

how long to cook a small pork roast
|
<P> Should take 30-45 minutes per pound, but, it all depends on the internal temperature of the pork roast, more than the amount of time. It used to be 165F but some people say that is too long or past rare; and 185F is dry and stringy. How to Make Traditional Pork Roast. My co-worker wants her daughter(13) to put the roast in the oven for her before she gets home, but she did't know at what temp and for how long to tell her to leave it in. She said it is a small 2 lb pork roast. <P> Continue cooking about 50-80 minutes or until the meat registers 145 degrees on a meat thermometer. Some roasts are long and thin and others are short and fat, consequently the cooking times will vary depending on the shape of your roast. The meat thermometer is the best way to judge the right amount of cooking time. Cooking a Loin Roast: There are many different ways to cook this roast. (Google lists over 1 million options!) According to the Joy of Cooking, cooking the roast for 10 minutes at 450 F. degrees and then reducing the temperature to 250 F. will ensure a tender, moist, flavorful roast. <P> WIth a roast, you generally want to cook to an internal temperature, not a time. But, when you lay it out butterflied, it’s thinner and more of the meat is exposed to heat, so if you were to cook it at 350 degrees at a 1/2 hour/lb. a 6 lb roast would end up ruinously overdone. Cooking a Loin Roast: There are many different ways to cook this roast. (Google lists over 1 million options!) According to the Joy of Cooking, cooking the roast for 10 minutes at 450 F. degrees and then reducing the temperature to 250 F. will ensure a tender, moist, flavorful roast. <P> Preheat oven to 350 F. In small bowl, combine thyme, ... Rub mix over roast. Place pork in a small ... cook time. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. <P> Remove the roast from the oven and set on a cutting board. Cover the meat with tin foil and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing it. The temperature of the roast will continue to rise about another 5 degrees. Cooking a Loin Roast: There are many different ways to cook this roast. (Google lists over 1 million options!) According to the Joy of Cooking, cooking the roast for 10 minutes at 450 F. degrees and then reducing the temperature to 250 F. will ensure a tender, moist, flavorful roast. <P> Always position the pork roast in the pan so that fat side is on the top. Measure one tablespoon of olive oil in a small dish. Add 1 Tablespoon of dried spices to the oil. You can use rosemary, sage, thyme, or oregano; or a combination of these that equal 1 tablespoon.

According to the Joy of Cooking, cooking the roast for 10 minutes at 450 F. degrees and then reducing the temperature to 250 F. will ensure a tender, moist, flavorful roast. <P> 3. Roast. Throw that skillet in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes more, flipping the tenderloin over halfway through cooking, until the meat reaches 140°F (or, if you don't have a meat thermometer, until it feels firm and springs back when pressed with your finger and the juices run clear when poked with a knife). <P> Put the roast in the oven. Leave it uncovered. Let the roast cook for 15 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lower the heat. After 10 minutes at 450 F, reduce the oven temperature to 350 F, and leave it at that temperature for the duration of the cooking time. A 5-lb. beef roast will take approximately another 35 minutes at 350 F for medium rare. A 3-lb pork roast will take about an hour and 25 minutes (85 minutes) at 350 F. <P> The rule of thumb for pork roasts is to cook them 25 minutes per pound of meat at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). <P> At what temperature and for how long per pound do you cook a pork roast?

how to clear lip fever blisters fast
|
<P> Canker sores, however, occur only inside the mouth--on the tongue and the inside linings of the cheeks, lips and throat. Fever blisters, also called cold sores, usually occur outside the mouth--on the lips, chin, cheeks or in the nostrils. When fever blisters do occur inside the mouth, it is usually on the gums or the roof of the mouth. Inside the mouth, fever blisters are smaller than canker sores, heal more quickly, and often begin as a blister. Both canker sores and fever blisters have plagued mankind for thousands of years. There are two types of herpes simplex virus. Type 1 usually causes oral herpes, or fever blisters. Type 2 usually causes genital herpes. Although both type 1 and type 2 viruses can infect oral tissues, more than 95 percent of recurrent fever blister outbreaks are caused by the type 1 virus. <P> Step 4. Relax. It might seem like strange advice, but stress can trigger fever blisters on the lip. If you are prone to breakouts of fever blisters, a change in your routine or environment can cause a massive problem. Remove the ice for about five minutes and reapply at least one more time. The cold deadens the fever blister on the lip, preventing it from forming. Apply aloe vera to the site of the fever blister. Either grow your own aloe vera plants or purchase 100 percent aloe vera gel from the pharmacy or health food store. <P> Cold sores, sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks. <P> Gently washing the blisters with soap and water may also help to prevent the spread of the outbreak. 1 Wash your hands frequently, and try to avoid touching the sore. 2 If you touch the cold sore, you can then spread it to other people or to other places on your own body, such as the eyes and genitals. 1 You may be able to feel a small bump or hardness in the skin in conjunction with the tingling sensation. 2 Other early symptoms include, itching of the lips or skin around mouth, sore throat, swollen glands, and pain when swallowing, and a fever. <P> Step 1. Apply ice to the blister area the first moment you feel tenderness or tingling on your lip. Wrap an ice cube in a clean cloth and place on the lip for as long as you can stand it. Remove the ice for about five minutes and reapply at least one more time. The cold deadens the fever blister on the lip, preventing it from forming. Apply aloe vera to the site of the fever blister. Either grow your own aloe vera plants or purchase 100 percent aloe vera gel from the pharmacy or health food store. <P> Cold sores, sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) . There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body. The first symptoms of cold sores may include pain around your mouth and on your lips, a fever, a sore throat, or swollen glands in your neck or other part <P> Step 2. Apply aloe vera to the site of the fever blister. Either grow your own aloe vera plants or purchase 100 percent aloe vera gel from the pharmacy or health food store. Use pure aloe vera gel because other additives could increase sensitivity or irritation in the area of your lip that is prone to fever blisters. Remove the ice for about five minutes and reapply at least one more time. The cold deadens the fever blister on the lip, preventing it from forming <P> Both cold sore and fever blister refer to the lip blisters caused by infections of the Herpes Simplex I virus (not to be confused with Herpes Simplex II, which is generally associated with genital herpes). Cold Sores are viral infections which cause recurrent groups of irritating, even painful blisters on the lips. A sore or blister will typically take a few days to break. It will be contagious to others as long as it is visible and occasionally even beyond. Eliminating all of the sources that can contribute to the onset of cold sores and fever blisters is impossible. <P> Fever blisters, also known as cold sores, are caused by the herpes simplex type 1 virus. An outbreak usually occurs on or around the mouth and typically heals within two to three weeks. Fever blisters can be a lifelong irritant, since the virus remains dormant in the body throughout your life. The herpes virus that causes fever blisters thrive in moist, warm environments; using hydrogen peroxide will keep the affected area dry and free of moisture. 1 Dip a cotton ball in 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and dab it over the blisters. <P> Make sure you have a cold sore. A cold sore is the same as a fever blister, but it is not the same as a canker sore. Canker sores are mouth ulcers that occur inside the mouth. While cold sores may on occasion develop inside the mouth, they are usually smaller than canker sores, and they start as blisters. 1 You may be able to feel a small bump or hardness in the skin in conjunction with the tingling sensation. 2 Other early symptoms include, itching of the lips or skin around mouth, sore throat, swollen glands, and pain when swallowing, and a fever.

what is herculaneum
|
<P> Herculaneum (it: Ercolano) is a town close to Naples in Campania, Italy. It is named after the ruined Roman city which forms its main attraction. Herculaneum was destroyed by an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79, the same eruption that destroyed Pompei. <P> (Right): Map of the bay of Naples. Pompeii and Herculaneum are 2 hours' drive from Rome. By the time Vesuvius stopped belching poisonous gas, the bustling city of Pompeii was silent, completely buried by volcanic ash and debris. It remained silent for 1700 years. <P> Ruins of Herculaneum, the modern town is visible in the background, Vesuvius is in the top right corner. In many ways Herculaneum is arguably a more interesting place to visit than Pompeii. Surrounded by volcanic rock, its location gives you a far clearer idea of the magnitude of the volcanic eruption. <P> Herculaneum by Iain Dickson, 'Melvadius Macrinus Cugerni'. With Vesuvius brooding on the horizon any visit to the Bay of Naples area should include a visit to Herculaneum. It is unjustly less famous than its bigger brother Pompeii as the state of preservation of the buildings are generally much superior. <P> Herculaneum was a wealthier town than Pompeii, possessing an extraordinary density of fine houses with, for example, far more lavish use of coloured marble cladding. <P> Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum (Italian: Ercolano) was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 AD. <P> Tweet. Herculaneum (Ercolano in Italian) is decidedly less famous than nearby Pompeii, although it makes for an equally interesting (some would say even more interesting) visit from the tourist’s perspective. <P> Definition of HERCULANEUM. ancient city S Italy in Campania on Tyrrhenian Sea; destroyed a.d. 79 by eruption of Mt.

how does recombination estimate gene distance
|
<P> The other 50% are parental .If two genes occur on the same chromosome, they may not assort independently at anaphase of meiosis. These genesare said to be linked and demonstrate linkage in genetic crosses. Linkage is present when fewer than 50% of thegametes produced by a double heterozygote are recombinant. 5.2 Genetic Mapping Genes with recombination frequencies less than 50% are present in the same chromosome (linked). Two genesthat undergo independent assortment, indicated by a recombination frequency of 50 percent, are either on non-homologous chromosomes or are located far apart in a single chromosome. <P> (ie, you will calculate a greater distance between two genes if you are doing a three point cross including a gene between the two in question than if you are doing a simply two point cross. II. Straightforward calculation of the percent recombination between two genes is called a two point cross. Thus the linkage map distance between the two genes would be zero LMU (Linkage Map Units). B. If the genes are on separate chromosomes (or are far enough apart that crossing over between them occurs in virtually all meioses), half of the offspring will be recombinant, the other half parental. <P> In contrast, genes located farther away from one another on the same chromosome were more likely to be separated during recombination. Therefore, Morgan correctly proposed that the strength of linkage between two genes depends upon the distance between the genes on the chromosome. After all, the farther apart two genes were on a chromosome, the more likely it was that these genes would separate during recombination. Therefore, as Sturtevant explained it, the proportion of crossovers could be used as an index of the distance between any two factors (Sturtevant, 1913). <P> One linkage map unit (LMU) is 1% recombination. Thus, the linkage map distance between two genes is the percentage recombination between those genes. In this case, we have a total of 300 recombinant offspring, out of 2000 total offspring. Map distance is calculated as (# Recombinants)/(Total offspring) X 100. Calculating the map distance, we have a total of 350 recombinants out of 1600 offspring. So the percentage recombination is (350/1600)x100 = 21.875%, so the distance bewteen these two genes is calculated as 21.875 LMU--significantly less than the 23.125 LMU calculated from our three point cross. <P> A map unit corresponds to a recombinant frequency of 0.01; it is also referred to as a centimorgan (cM), in honor of the founder of the fly room. So the distance between two genes (on the basis of the above) can be 66 units but it does not mean that the recombinant frequency is 66%. It is 50%. The reason here is that the loci are so far away that a crossing over is almost inevitable. <P> Recombination can occur between any two genes on a chromosome, the amount of crossing over is a function of how close the genes are to each other on the chromosome. If two genes are far apart, for example at opposite ends of the chromosome, crossover and non-crossover events will occur in equal frequency. For this experiment, a total of 2335 gametes were analyzed, and 303 (151 pr+ vg+ + 154 pr vg) of these were the result of recombination. The estimate of the linkage distance between pr and vg from these experiments is 13.0 cM [(303/2335)*100]. <P> All linkage map distances are calculated as the percentage recombination between two loci. This is reflected in the percentage of recombinant offspring. A. If two genes are completely linked, all of the offspring will be parental (have the same linkage as the parents); there will be no recombinant offspring. Thus the linkage map distance between the two genes would be zero LMU (Linkage Map Units). B. If the genes are on separate chromosomes (or are far enough apart that crossing over between them occurs in virtually all meioses), half of the offspring will be recombinant, the other half parental. <P> Recombination and Estimating the Distance Between Genes. Physical crossing over during meiosis I is a normal event. The effect of this event is to rearrange heterozygous homologous chromsomes into new combinations. The term used for crossing over is recombination. For this experiment, a total of 2335 gametes were analyzed, and 303 (151 pr+ vg+ + 154 pr vg) of these were the result of recombination. The estimate of the linkage distance between pr and vg from these experiments is 13.0 cM [(303/2335)*100]. <P> • The distance between two points on the genetic map of a chromosome is the average number of crossovers between them. Recombination Mapping with a Two‐Point Testcross. • The Recombination Frequency between vg and b is 18% • This is equal to 18 map units, or 18 centiMorgans (cM) on the genetic map.

what is the element mercury substance
|
<P> Mercury forms useful compounds with other elements. Mercuric chloride (HgCl 2) is a very poisonous salt and was once used to disinfect wounds. Mercurous chloride (Hg 2 Cl 2), also called calomel, is an antiseptic used to kill bacteria. Mercuric sulfide (HgS) is used to make a red paint pigment called vermilion. History and Uses: Mercury was known to the ancient Chinese and Hindus and has been found in 3500 year old Egyptian tombs. Mercury is not usually found free in nature and is primarily obtained from the mineral cinnabar (HgS). Spain and Italy produce about half of the world's supply of Mercury. <P> A heavy, silvery d-block element, mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure; the only other element that is liquid under these conditions is bromine, though metals such as caesium, gallium, and rubidium melt just above room temperature. Contents. 1 On the periodic table of elements, the chemical symbol for mercury is Hg, from the Latin word-Hydrargyrum-meaning liquid silver. 2 For quite some time, we have known that high concentrations of mercury can be toxic to humans; the first account of mercury poisoning was recorded as early as 50 B.C. <P> It can be extremely poisonous to humans. The symbol Hg that mercury is known by comes from its Greek name, hydrargyrum, which means liquid silver — to reflect its shiny surface. The element is also known as quicksilver for its mobility. Named after the fastest-moving planet in the solar system, mercury has been known to humanity for ages. In fact, evidence of its use has been found in China, India and Egypt, and traces of mercury were found in 3,500-year-old Egyptian tombs. Mercury is a very toxic element. <P> Mercury is a transition metal. A transition metal is one of the elements found between Groups 2 (IIA) and 13 (IIIA) on the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to one another. Mercury has long been known as quicksilver, because it is a silver liquid. <P> Mercury is a naturally occurring element found in rocks, soil, water, air and living things. Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. <P> Mercury occurs in deposits throughout the world mostly as cinnabar (mercuric sulfide). The red pigment vermilion, a pure form of mercuric sulfide, is mostly obtained by reaction of mercury (produced by reduction from cinnabar) with sulfur. Mercury(I) chloride, a colorless solid also known as calomel, is really the compound with the formula Hg 2 Cl 2, with the connectivity Cl-Hg-Hg-Cl. It is a standard in electrochemistry. It reacts with chlorine to give mercuric chloride, which resists further oxidation. <P> 1 The modern element symbol for mercury is Hg, which is the symbol for another name for mercury: hydrargyrum. 2 Hydrargyrum comes from Greek words for water-silver (hydr-means water, argyros means silver). 3 Mercury is a very rare element in the Earth's crust. 4 It accounts for only about only 0.08 parts per million (ppm). 1 Mercury is a very rare element in the Earth's crust. 2 It accounts for only about only 0.08 parts per million (ppm). 3 Mercury generally is not allowed on aircraft because it combines so readily with aluminum, a metal that is common on aircraft. <P> A heavy, silvery d-block element, mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure; the only other element that is liquid under these conditions is bromine, though metals such as caesium, gallium, and rubidium melt just above room temperature.

process of forming fraternal twins
|
<P> The main cause of fraternal and identical twins comes from conception; either two completely separate eggs can be fertilized (fraternal twins) or one fertilized egg can split into two during maturation (identical twins). To start off, let's first talk about fraternal twins, another word for this is dizygotic which means a fraternal twin happens when two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm. These babies can come out because of different reasons such as hyper-ovulation (it is hereditary). <P> The difference between fraternal and identical twins is that fraternal twins are two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm to form two separate embryos and then make two separate babies. Identical twins are formed when one fertilized egg divides into two separate embryos to make two babies. Fraternal, or dizygotic, twins happen when Mom releases two eggs (either at the same or different times during her cycle), and different sperm fertilize each egg. Fraternal twins share up to 50% of their genes, and are no more alike or different than any two siblings would be. <P> Meaning, having twins in your family will make no difference in the possibility of conceiving identical twins. Identical twins seem to occur randomly throughout the population without rhyme or reason. Fraternal twins (dizygotic) occur when two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm. Two separate babies with no more in common than siblings born at different times are formed. Fraternal twins can be the same sex and/or blood type. Two separate babies with identical DNA are formed. Identical twins are always the same sex and blood type. They almost always share the same placenta but may also have two separate placentas. Depending on when the egg splits usually determines if identical twins will share the same placenta, and/or chorions and amnions. <P> Identical Twins occur when a single egg is fertilized by a single sperm to form one zygote (monozygotic) but the zygote then divides into two separate embryos. The biological mechanisms that prompt the single fertilized egg to split in two remain a mystery. The two embryos develop into foetuses sharing the same womb. <P> Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. Fraternal twins can occur when the mother's ovaries release two eggs at the same time instead of one. If the eggs are fertilized, then fraternal twin embryos will develop. Since they came from o … nly one egg and one sperm, their genes will be identical. Fraternal twins are two children born of two eggs and two sperms, each of them developing into a full organism. <P> If she releases two eggs, which are fertilized by separate sperm, she has fraternal twins. When a single, fertilized egg divides and separates, she has identical or paternal twins. In the case of conjoined twins, a woman only produces a single egg, which does not fully separate after fertilization. <P> Identical twins are genetically the same, because they come from the same fertilized egg/sperm cell zygote, which happens to split into two viable zygotes. Fraternal t … wins, however, come from two different egg/sperm cell zygotes, that are concurrently fertilized and remain viable. Since they came from o … nly one egg and one sperm, their genes will be identical. Fraternal twins are two children born of two eggs and two sperms, each of them developing into a full organism. <P> Fraternal (Non-identical) twins are formed when two egg cells are fertilized; each egg by a different sperm so that two embryos are formed. Fraternal twins can be of the same or opposite sex and they don't have to look at all alike. The two halves are genetically identical. Identical twins are usually of the same sex. Conjoined (Siamese) twins are formed exactly like identical twins, but during the split, the embryo does not separate completely to form two separate babies and the twins develop attached to one another. <P> Dizygotic (DZ) or fraternal twins (also referred to as non-identical twins, dissimilar twins, biovular twins, and, informally in the case of females, sororal twins) usually occur when two fertilized eggs are implanted in the uterus wall at the same time. <P> Fraternal twins form when she releases two (or more) eggs. Each one is fertilized by a separate sperm. Genetically, fraternal twins are no more alike than siblings (brothers and sisters). Identical twins start off as one fertilized egg. To start off, let's first talk about fraternal twins, another word for this is dizygotic which means a fraternal twin happens when two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm. These babies can come out because of different reasons such as hyper-ovulation (it is hereditary).

what grievances did the vietnamese have over french rule
|
<P> (Redirected from Vietnamese French (dialect)). French was the official language of Vietnam from the beginning of French colonial rule in the mid-19th century until independence under the Geneva Accords of 1954, and maintained de facto official status in South Vietnam until its collapse in 1975. The sharpest decline of the French language in Vietnam was after the Fall of Saigon in 1975 as the communist government imposed Vietnamese as the sole official and educational language on the entire nation, including the south, which was in a transitional phase until 1976. <P> Vietnam Table of Contents. Not all Vietnamese resisted the French conquest, and some even welcomed it. The monarchy, through decades of repression, had lost the support of the people; and Tu Duc, in the eyes of large segments of the peasantry, had lost his mandate to rule. <P> Vietnamese. The Vietnamese language did not achieve status as an official language until the 20th century, when the country of Vietnam gained independence from French rule. Vietnam remained under French rule until 1954. During this period of French colonialism, the Vietnamese language was called “annamese,” and French served as the primary language used for administration purposes. <P> Vietnam Table of Contents. By 1857 Louis-Napoleon had been persuaded that invasion was the best course of action, and French warships were instructed to take Tourane without any further efforts to negotiate with the Vietnamese. Tourane was captured in late 1858 and Gia Dinh (Saigon and later Ho Chi Minh City) in early 1859. In both cases Vietnamese Christian support for the French, predicted by the missionaries, failed to materialize. Vietnamese resistance and outbreaks of cholera and typhoid forced the French to abandon Tourane in early 1860.

what is an inr
|
<P> The prothrombin time (PT) — along with its derived measures of prothrombin ratio (PR) and international normalized ratio (INR) — are assays evaluating the extrinsic pathway of coagulation. This test is also called ProTime INR and PT/INR. They are used to determine the clotting tendency of blood, in the measure of warfarin dosage, liver damage, and vitamin K status. PT measures factors I (fibrinogen) , II (prothrombin) , V, VII, and X. Laboratory measurement [edit]. The reference range for prothrombin time depends on the analytical method used, but is usually around 12–13 seconds (results should always be interpreted using the reference range from the laboratory that performed the test), and the INR in absence of anticoagulation therapy is 0.8-1.2. <P> The PT and INR are used to monitor the effectiveness of the anticoagulant warfarin. This drug affects the function of the coagulation cascade and helps inhibit the formation of blood clots. It is prescribed on a long-term basis to people who have experienced recurrent inappropriate blood clotting. The INR can be used to adjust a person's drug dosage to get the PT into the desired range that is right for the person and his or her condition. Warfarin may be prescribed for conditions such as: 1 Irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). 2 The presence of artificial heart valves. <P> The international normalized ratio (INR) is a calculation based on results of a PT and is used to monitor individuals who are being treated with the blood-thinning medication (anticoagulant) warfarin (Coumadin®). The INR can be used to adjust a person's drug dosage to get the PT into the desired range that is right for the person and his or her condition. Warfarin may be prescribed for conditions such as: 1 Irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). 2 The presence of artificial heart valves. <P> International Normalized Ratio (INR), a comparative rating of a patient's prothrombin time (PT) ratio, used as a standard for monitoring the effects of warfarin. The INR indicates what the patient's PT ratio would have been if measured by using the primary World Health Organization International Reference reagent. <P> International normalized ratio (INR) is a calculation made to standardize prothrombin time. INR is based on the ratio of the patient's prothrombin time and the normal mean prothrombin time. Prothrombin time is a test to learn how fast the blood clots in patients receiving oral anticoagulant medication. <P> Prothrombin Time and INR. Guide. Prothrombin time (PT) is a blood test that measures how long it takes blood to clot. A prothrombin time test can be used to check for bleeding problems. PT is also used to check whether medicine to prevent blood clots is working. A PT test may also be called an INR test. <P> The INR provides some information about a person’s blood’s tendency to clot (which is often described as how “thin” or “thick” their blood is). The INR comes from the conversion of another value, the prothrombin time (PT). Prothrombin time is the time it takes for blood to clot in a test tube. A high or low PT can suggest bleeding or clotting tendencies. Most often, the PT is checked to monitor a person’s response to blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin). <P> The international normalized ratio (INR) is a standardized number that's figured out in the lab. If you take blood thinners, also called anti-clotting drugs or anticoagulants, it's especially important to check your INR. The INR is figured out using the results of the prothrombin time (PT) test, which measures the time it takes for your blood to clot. The INR is an international standard for the PT <P> A blood test is needed to determine the effect of warfarin for each person and this is measured as the International Normalised Ratio or INR. The INR is a measure of how long it takes for blood to clot. The INR for a person not taking warfarin is 1. The higher the INR, the longer it takes for blood to clot. The desired INR for you will depend on the reason for which you are taking warfarin. Your doctors will try and keep your INR within a range – called the target INR range. The target INR range is different for different conditions.

If you take blood thinners, also called anti-clotting drugs or anticoagulants, it's especially important to check your INR.The INR is figured out using the results of the prothrombin time (PT) test, which measures the time it takes for your blood to clot.

names of lumbar paraspinal muscles

<P> When a person bends forward, his paraspinal muscles are lengthening; when he stands up again, they are contracting to pull him back to a standing position. Paraspinal muscles on the left and right side of the body work together in the same way when the person bends sideways. When the person is not bending, the paraspinal muscles keep the spinal column in vertical alignment while he is sitting or standing. <P> The erector spinae (/spinæ ˌɨˈrɛktər/ ˈspiːniː-ə-rek TəR-spee) nee is a muscle group of the back in humans and other, animals which extends the vertebral (column bending the spine such that the head moves posteriorly while the chest protrudes).

how long can humans go without human contact
|
<P> Skyllberg says he had been inside the car since 19 December 2011. Experts believe it is possible for the human body to survive without food for up to two months. It's not the first example of humans subsisting on next to nothing for long periods of time. <P> We can't live on air and sunshine alone. The human body needs food and water to survive. A human can go for more than three weeks without food (Mahatma Gandhi survived 21 days of complete starvation), but water is a different story. At least 60% of the adult body is made of it and every living cell in the body needs it to keep functioning. Three to four days would be more typical. You can go 100 hours without drinking at an average temperature outdoors, Claude Piantadosi of Duke University told Fox. If it’s cooler, you can go a little longer. If you are exposed to direct sunlight, it’s less.. USGSAs much as 65% of the human body is water. <P> If you're ever stuck out in the wilderness, remember what survival experts call 'the Rule of Threes'. You can live 3 minutes without air, though we don't recommend trying. In a harsh environment — it's snowing, say — you have 3 hours to survive without shelter. After 3 days, you need water or you'll perish. You can make it 3 weeks without food, though we promise you that won't be fun. Despite this possibly helpful rule, some people have survived 8 to 10 days without water. <P> A person can survive only three to five days without water, in some cases people have survived for an average of one week. It is not recommended that anyone try this at home. Once the body is deprived of fluids the cells and organs in the body begin to deteriorate. The human body is made from cells, bones, organs, and fluids. The functionality and longevity of the body depends on many factors. For instance, a person who goes without food and not water will live for quite a bit longer. <P> Scabies mites can only live about 72 hours without human contact, but once on a person, the mites can live up to two months. Mites survive longer in colder conditions with higher humidity. Scabies Treatment: Wash Linens and Bedclothes. Scabies mites do not survive more than 72 hours without human contact. It is usually sufficient to machine wash bed linens and clothing in hot water and dry on high heat, or have the items dry-cleaned. <P> This is a discussion on How long can you do without human interaction/contact? within the INTP Forum-The Thinkers forums, part of the NT's Temperament Forum-The Intellects category; I thought that this would be an interesting, albeit somewhat silly, question. Well, I never really did that and only did 1 day without interactions in rl. As for how much I think I could last, without any would probably be 2-3 days, while without any in rl would be 1-2 weeks. <P> Another rule of thumb when lack of water is a problem is make sure youdrink water when you can. People have been known to succumb with water still in their canteens! Aqua ManBoston Some people ask how long can you go without food and water. But the reality is you can go with out food for along time, a month or more. But you cannot live without water for very long. HannahPA It is hard to find the information because you call it how long can I survive without water but you have alot of otherinformation about stuff not in the title.Survival Topics-Survival times without water are dependant on many factors and there can be no hard and fastrule or formula. <P> it's funny, because i'm pretty introverted, but i don't like to go without human interaction of any kind for more than a few days. i'd say, for an ideal day, i'd prefer at least 65% of the time to be more or less alone, and 35% or less to be engaged in conversation. Well, I never really did that and only did 1 day without interactions in rl. As for how much I think I could last, without any would probably be 2-3 days, while without any in rl would be 1-2 weeks. <P> At the end my brain was starting to melt, but I don't think that had to do with lack of human contact. 05-28-2010 09:30 PM #3. INTP-The Thinkers. When I was nineteen I used to spend long periods of time without contact with others (days). Well, I never really did that and only did 1 day without interactions in rl. As for how much I think I could last, without any would probably be 2-3 days, while without any in rl would be 1-2 weeks.

what are the causes of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
|
<P> Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is caused by a problem in the inner ear. Tiny calcium stones inside your inner ear canals help you keep your balance. <P> Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo, the symptom that describes the feeling of intense spinning of the head. BPPV describes the situation where the spinning sensation lasts only a few minutes and often stops by itself. <P> Definition. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo — the sudden sensation that you're spinning or that the inside of your head is spinning. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo causes brief episodes of mild to intense dizziness. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is usually triggered by specific changes in the position of your head. This might occur when you tip your head up or down, when you lie down, or when you turn over or sit up in bed. <P> Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo — the sudden sensation that you're spinning or that the inside of your head is spinning.

how to get rid of bed bugs on body
|
<P> While you’re most likely going to want to get rid of the bed bugs altogether, it’s important to save the bugs that you do find. You’ll need evidence of bugs to show any landlords or exterminators. When you do save them, make sure to tape them to a surface where they will be easily visible. You don’t have to get rid of everything you own to assure that the bed bugs won’t return. You don’t have to put everything into bags either. With bagging, there’s a chance the bed bugs will make their way into the bags. <P> Bed bugs are not known to spread disease. Bed bugs can be an annoyance because their presence may cause itching and loss of sleep. Sometimes the itching can lead to excessive scratching that can sometimes increase the chance of a secondary skin infection. Bed bugs are usually transported from place to place as people travel. The bed bugs travel in the seams and folds of luggage, overnight bags, folded clothes, bedding, furniture, and anywhere else where they can hide. <P> Warnings. 1 Bed bugs are one of the hardest infestations to get rid of. 2 It's possible that the infestation you are battling is beyond the scope of your capabilities and it may be best to call an exterminator if it continues despite repeated treatments and offensive attacks. Warnings. 1 Bed bugs are one of the hardest infestations to get rid of. 2 Be careful of the shell powder with babies and pets crawling around the house. 3 If the bedbugs keep on coming out of the same mattress, throw it out because it's not safe. <P> 1 Direct sunlight is a good method to get rid of the bugs. 2 On a warm, sunny day, bring all of the drawers and items from your closet, sofas and bed, comforters, pillows, rugs and drapes etc in your back yard, for 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight. 3 The bugs will leave your stuff and crawl in to grass for shade. Warnings. 1 Bed bugs are one of the hardest infestations to get rid of. 2 Be careful of the shell powder with babies and pets crawling around the house. 3 If the bedbugs keep on coming out of the same mattress, throw it out because it's not safe. <P> Eliminate warm-blooded pests from your home. Bed bugs aren’t picky eaters; besides humans, they’ll also feed on dogs, cats, birds, bats, rodents, or any other warm-blooded animal that’s handy. In some cases, roosting bats or birds are actually the source of a bed bug infestation. At the very least, these pests can carry bed bugs from room to room, so it’s important to get rid of them. Any area of the house where you find birds or small mammals should also be inspected for signs of bed bugs. Clean your room. <P> Kill any you see on contact and be prepared to deal with blood stains on your bedding, so you may want to change it. In fact, the small blood stains left as a result of rolling over and killing them is often what makes a lot of people realize they have a bed bug infestation in the first place. Warnings. 1 Bed bugs are one of the hardest infestations to get rid of. 2 Be careful of the shell powder with babies and pets crawling around the house. 3 If the bedbugs keep on coming out of the same mattress, throw it out because it's not safe. <P> How to sleep at night after a bed bug problem. If you have bed bugs it is not necessary to get rid of your mattress or box springs. Encasements will prevent bed bugs from hiding in your mattress and box springs, but if you have bed bugs in other places, they can still crawl into your bed. Bed bugs are very difficult to get rid of because they are hard to find and kill. Making your home bed bug-free will take time and effort from you; the housing manager (if the home is a rental unit); and a pest control company. <P> 1 Make sure to wash the bed bug bites with soap and water. 2 Make a thick sticky paste with the water and baking soda, not too runny and thick enough that it will stay. 3 Let the paste stand until completely dry and then wait an hour or so. 4 Some let it stand for hours while others find that an hour or less is fine. Here is exactly how to treat the bites…. 1 Make sure to wash the bed bug bites with soap and water. 2 Make a thick sticky paste with the water and baking soda, not too runny and thick enough that it will stay. 3 Let the paste stand until completely dry and then wait an hour or so. 4 Gently wash the paste off and pat dry.

Which is a part of the innate immune defenses
|
<P> The innate immune system, also known as the nonspecific immune system, is an important subsystem of the overall immune system that comprises the cells and mechanisms that defend the host from infection by other organisms. Mast cells are a type of innate immune cell that reside in connective tissue and in the mucous membranes. They are intimately associated with wound healing and defense against pathogens, but are also often associated with allergy and anaphylaxis. <P> The cells of the innate system recognize and respond to pathogens in a generic way, but, unlike the adaptive immune system (which is found only in vertebrates), it does not confer long-lasting or protective immunity to the host. Mast cells are a type of innate immune cell that reside in connective tissue and in the mucous membranes. They are intimately associated with wound healing and defense against pathogens, but are also often associated with allergy and anaphylaxis. <P> The other part of the immune response is called the 'adaptive' immune system. Unlike the innate immune system, it isn't able to respond instantly to infections, as it needs time to adapt (or learn) to recognise them. The 'innate' (meaning: present from birth) part of the immune system is so-called because it has a number of set strategies for recognising and dealing with certain kinds of infection, without needing to be trained to identify them. <P> Adaptive immunity refers to antigen-specific immune response. The adaptive immune response is more complex than the innate. The antigen first must be processed and recognized. Once an antigen has been recognized, the adaptive immune system creates an army of immune cells specifically designed to attack that antigen. These mechanisms include physical barriers such as skin, chemicals in the blood, and immune system cells that attack foreign cells in the body. The innate immune response is activated by chemical properties of the antigen. <P> Innate immunity. The 'innate' (meaning: present from birth) part of the immune system is so-called because it has a number of set strategies for recognising and dealing with certain kinds of infection, without needing to be trained to identify them. <P> Features of an Immune Response. An immune response is generally divided into innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity occurs immediately, when circulating innate cells recognize a problem. Adaptive immunity occurs later, as it relies on the coordination and expansion of specific adaptive immune cells. If a B or T cell is autoreactive, meaning its receptor recognizes antigens from the body's own cells, the cell will be deleted. Also, if a B or T cell does not receive signals from innate cells, it will not be optimally activated. Immune memory is a feature of the adaptive immune response. After B or T cells are activated, they expand rapidly. As the problem resolves, cells stop dividing and are retained in the body as memory <P> Innate immune defenses. In response to viral infection, many organisms mount a remarkable defense known as the immune response. This response to viral infection consists of an innate, or nonspecific component, and an adaptive, or specific defense. The innate response is considered the first line of immune defense because it is active even before infection begins. Days to weeks are required to mount an adaptive immune response that is specifically tailored to the infecting virus. The innate response therefore serves as a crucial rapid response that provides sufficient time for the activation of the adaptive immune system. <P> An effective vaccine will optimally activate both the innate and adaptive response. An immunogen is used to activate the adaptive immune response so that specific memory cells are generated. If a B or T cell is autoreactive, meaning its receptor recognizes antigens from the body's own cells, the cell will be deleted. Also, if a B or T cell does not receive signals from innate cells, it will not be optimally activated. Immune memory is a feature of the adaptive immune response. After B or T cells are activated, they expand rapidly. As the problem resolves, cells stop dividing and are retained in the body as memory cells

what are some descriptors of rabies
|
<P> Rabies is caused by lyssaviruses including: rabies virus and Australian bat lyssavirus. Rabies is spread when an infected animal scratches or bites another animal or human. Saliva from an infected animal can also transmit rabies if the saliva comes into contact with the mouth, nose, or eyes. Globally, dogs are the most common animal involved. More than 99% of rabies cases in countries where dogs commonly have the disease are caused by dog bite <P> The rabies virus is usually transmitted via an animal bite, however, cases have also been reported in which the virus penetrated the body through infected saliva, moist tissues such as the eyes or lips, a scratch on the skin, or the transplantation of infected tissues. Zoonosis — Any disease of animals that can be transmitted to humans. Rabies is an example of a zoonosis. As of October 2004, the medical community awaits the publication of findings by the doctors that administered a life-saving treatment that cured a Wisconsin teenager of full-blown rabies. <P> Rabies (ray-beez), is a deadly disease caused by a virus. The virus is found in the saliva of a rabid animal and is transmitted by a bite, or possibly by saliva contamination of an open cut or the eyes. Left untreated, rabies attacks the nervous system and causes death. What animals get rabies? Only mammals, including people, can get rabies. <P> Knowledge center. Rabies is a deadly virus that attacks the CNS (central nervous system) and causes acute encephalitis. It is transmitted from animals to humans (zoonotic), most commonly by animal bites-although, there have been cases of humans becoming infected in bat caves after breathing in the air. The incubation period for rabies-how long it takes from initial infection to the onset of symptoms-is usually about 4 to 8 weeks long, in some cases as little as one week and as long as a whole year. Over 55,000 people die from rabies worldwide annually, 95% of them in Asia and Africa. <P> Rabies is an acute viral disease of the central nervous system that affects humans and other mammals but is most common in carnivores (flesh-eaters). It is sometimes referred to as a zoonosis, or disease of animals that can be communicated to humans. Zoonosis — Any disease of animals that can be transmitted to humans. Rabies is an example of a zoonosis. As of October 2004, the medical community awaits the publication of findings by the doctors that administered a life-saving treatment that cured a Wisconsin teenager of full-blown rabies. <P> Rabies is a preventable viral disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The vast majority of rabies cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) each year occur in wild animals like raccoons, skunks, bats, and foxes. <P> The rabies virus is part of the Lyssavirus genus and infects other animals, including humans, through infected saliva, usually from a bite. Much less commonly, a person can become infected if an open wound or mucous membranes have contact with infected saliva. The incubation period for rabies-how long it takes from initial infection to the onset of symptoms-is usually about 4 to 8 weeks long, in some cases as little as one week and as long as a whole year. Over 55,000 people die from rabies worldwide annually, 95% of them in Asia and Africa. <P> Rabies affects humans and other mammals but is most common in carnivores (flesh eaters). It is sometimes referred to as a zoonosis, or disease of animals that can be communicated to humans. Rabies is almost exclusively transmitted through saliva from the bite of an infected animal. <P> Usually the bite or scratch of an infected animal, which introduces the virus through the skin or mucous membrane. Bites (vs. nonbite exposure) cause approximately 99% of rabies cases worldwide. Wild animals account for 70% of rabies cases in the U.S..

where do hurricanes primarily occur
|
<P> What is a hurricane? Well, a hurricane is a tropical cyclone that occurs in the North Atlantic Ocean or the Northeast Pacific Ocean and remains east of the International Dateline. Tropical cyclones are characterized by a large low pressure center and numerous thunderstorms. These produce strong winds and heavy rain. <P> During this peak hurricanes can form in the Atlantic ocean, Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean Sea. Locations that may be affected are the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central America including eastern Mexico, the eastern and Gulf coasts of the United States, and eastern Canada. Hurricanes also occur at least several degrees away from the equator. This is because the Coriolis force is too weak at the equator to generate spin for the hurricane to develop. <P> EASTERN PACIFIC: The Eastern Pacific basin's hurricane season is from May 15th to November 30th, peaking in late August or early September. WESTERN PACIFIC: The Western Pacific basin's hurricane season is mostly from July 1 to November 30, peaking in late August or early September, though storms can occur year-round. SOUTH PACIFIC: The South Pacific basin's hurricane season is from October 15 to May 15, reaching a peak in late February or early March. <P> Below is a brief description of each basin's hurricane season.. More information can be obtained from the NOAA Hurricane FAQ. ATLANTIC: Hurricane season in the Atlantic runs from June 1 to November 30. Storms outside of these dates are not unheard of. WESTERN PACIFIC: The Western Pacific basin's hurricane season is mostly from July 1 to November 30, peaking in late August or early September, though storms can occur year-round. SOUTH PACIFIC: The South Pacific basin's hurricane season is from October 15 to May 15, reaching a peak in late February or early March. <P> Hurricanes (by whatever name) are by far most common in the Pacific Ocean, with the western Pacific being most active. In some years, the Philippines are struck by more than 20 tropical storms and typhoons. The term applied to various storms depends on their location. Only one hurricane force storm has ever occurred in the South Atlantic-Hurricane Catarina in 2004. Below is a map showing where each tropical cyclone has tracked between 1851 and 2007... WESTERN PACIFIC: The Western Pacific basin's hurricane season is mostly from July 1 to November 30, peaking in late August or early September, though storms can occur year-round. SOUTH PACIFIC: The South Pacific basin's hurricane season is from October 15 to May 15, reaching a peak in late February or early March. <P> People call these storms by other names, such as typhoons or cyclones, depending on where they occur. The scientific term for all these storms is tropical cyclone. Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are called hurricanes.. Whatever they are called, tropical cyclones all form the same way. Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. <P> Hurricanes are the most awesome, violent storms on Earth. They form near the equator over warm ocean waters. Actually, the term hurricane is used only for the large storms that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean. The generic, scientific term for these storms, wherever they occur, is tropical cyclone. So the first ingredient needed for a tropical cyclone is warm ocean water. That is why tropical cyclones form only in tropical regions where the ocean is at least 80 degrees F for at least the top 50 meters (about 165 feet) below the surface. <P> Pacific Ocean. The most active area of the world in terms of hurricanes is the Northwest of the Pacific Ocean, where the hurricane season runs for the entire year, although there is more activity between July and November. It can presumed, therefore, that the countries in this area can be considered the most susceptible to hurricanes. <P> The Atlantic Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Hawaiian islands are the most vulnerable to hurricanes. The top 10 most hurricane-prone cities in the U.S. are the following: 1 Cape Hattaras, North Carolina. 2 Delray Beach, Florida. 3 Hollywood, Florida. 4 Deerfield Beach, Florida. 5 Boca Raton, Florida. 6 Florida City, Florida. <P> Tropical cyclones are like engines that require warm, moist air as fuel.

how long to run a pool pump in summer
|
<P> In a pool of average size (10,000 to 20,000 gallons), and depending on the size of both your pump and filter, you should be able to run your pump for three to four hours during the winter and six to eight during the summer. For larger pools, increase the summer running time to eight to ten hours. <P> Thanks...MJ. Thanks for the question MJIn general, you want to run the pool pump 8 - 10 hours per day in the Summer and 4 - 8 hours in the Winter. When I had my pool route in Arizona it was recommended that pump be on for 12 hours per day during the Summer. <P> Pump Timing. A pool pump should run for as long as necessary to circulate all of the water through the pump and filter system. This turnover rate varies based on pool size and the pump. Pumps can typically circulate all of the water within a 6 to 8 hour period; some pools require pumping for up to 12 hours. <P> You should run your swimming pool pump motor around 6 - 8 hours during the Winter months and around 10 - 12 hours during the hot Summer months. Some places can even get away with running their pump around 4 hours each day, but 6 hours is optimal. <P> Another user said: If by the pool filter, you mean how long to run the pool pump to circulate water, I have been advised by pool pros to run it according to the hours of daylight at the time. e.g., in the summer run it 12 to 14 hours and in the winter, 8 hours. Well, I myself would run it for at least four hours a day.

what are spectator ions
|
<P> The ionic form of this reaction is: 2 Na + (aq) + 2 Cl - (aq) + Cu 2+ (aq) + SO 4 2- (aq) → 2 Na + (aq) + SO 4 2- (aq) + CuCl 2 (s). The sodium ions and sulfate ion are the spectator ions in this reaction. They appear unchanged in both the product and reactant side of the equation. These ions just 'spectate' while the other ions form the copper chloride. <P> (December 2009). A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation. Spectator Ion can, for be observed in the reaction of aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate and copper(II) sulfate but does not affect the equilibrium: <P> Spectator Ion Definition: A spectator ion is an ion that exists in the same form on both the reactant and product sides of a chemical reaction. <P> A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation. Spectator Ion can, for be observed in the reaction of aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate and copper(II) sulfate but does not affect the equilibrium: <P> In ionic equations the spectator ions are the ions that do not form a solute in the reactants side. They will have the symbol aq (for aqueous or in water)after it showing that … is has not precipitated into a solid. Answered. <P> We call the cations and anions listed below spectator ions because they do not react with water. When soluble compounds containing one of these spectator ions dissolves in water we can ignore the spectator ion. Soluble compounds of two spectator ions have no direct effect on the pH of water. <P> Spectator Ions. We also have the potential to have some ions in solution that do not participate in the chemistry. This is because these ions are the conjugate pairs for the strong acids or strong bases. Since those reactions are assumed to go 100% in the forward direction, we can likewise assume they go backwards 0%. <P> The Na + and SO 4 2− ions are spectator ions since they remain unchanged on both sides of the equation. They simply watch the other ions react, hence the name. They are present in total ionic equations to balance the charges of the ions. Whereas the Cu 2+ and CO 3 2− ions combine to form a precipitate of solid CuCO 3.

what does caldera mean
|
<P> • CALDERA (noun). The noun CALDERA has 1 sense: 1. a large crater caused by the violent explosion of a volcano that collapses into a depression. Familiarity information: CALDERA used as a noun is very rare. <P> Best Answer: A caldera is a type of volcano, associated with super volcanoes. Once it explodes, it leaves a large depression. Mt. St. Helens is an example of a caldera. They are the largest volcanos in diameter, approximately 100km wide, with pyroclastic flows. <P> caldera-a large crater caused by the violent explosion of a volcano that collapses into a depression. crater, volcanic crater-a bowl-shaped geological formation at the top of a volcano. Translations. caldera. n. 1. (Physical Geography) a large basin-shaped crater at the top of a volcano, formed by the collapse or explosion of the cone. See cirque. [C19: from Spanish Caldera (literally: cauldron), name of a crater in the Canary Islands]. (kaelˈdɛr kælˈdɛr, ə-). kɔl., n. pl <P> Definition of CALDERA. : a volcanic crater that has a diameter many times that of the vent and is formed by collapse of the central part of a volcano or by explosions of extraordinary violence. See caldera defined for kids. ADVERTISEMENT <P> A caldera is a cauldron-like volcanic feature on large central volcanoes, a special sort of volcanic crater (from one to several kilometers in diameter), formed when a magma chamber was emptied. The depression then originated either in very big explosive eruptions or in erosion and collapse of the magma chamber roof. As the magma chamber empties, the center of the volcano within the ring fracture begins to collapse. The collapse may occur as the result of a single cataclysmic eruption, or it may occur in stages as the result of a series of eruptions. <P> Calderas are some of the most spectacular features on Earth. They are large volcanic craters that form by two different methods: 1) an explosive volcanic eruption; or, 2) collapse of surface rock into an empty magma chamber. The image at right is a satellite view of one of the most famous calderas-Crater Lake in Oregon. Centuries of rain and snow filled the caldera creating Crater Lake. With a depth of 1932 feet (589 meters), Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh deepest lake in the world. Collapse calderas form when a large magma chamber is emptied by a volcanic eruption or by subsurface magma movement. The unsupported rock that forms the roof of the magma chamber then collapses to form a large crater. Crater Lake and many other calderas are thought to have formed by this process <P> Caldera. A caldera is a cauldron-like volcanic feature usually formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. They are sometimes confused with volcanic craters. The word comes from Spanish caldera, and this from Latin CALDARIA, meaning cooking pot. In some texts the English term cauldron is also used. Wiktionary (0.00 / 0 votes) Rate this definition: caldera (Noun). A large crater formed by a volcanic explosion or by collapse of the cone of a volcano. Origin: From caldera, from caldaria.

<P> Lemurs, tarsiers, and lorises belong to a group of primates called prosimians. The sub-order Strepsirrhini (curly-nosed primates) are non-tarsier prosimians, and the sub-order … Haplorrhini (dry-nosed primates) includes tarsiers and simians. 1 person found this useful. Lemurs' habitat is the forest, and they use their long tail for balance as they jum … p between trees, and also for communicating with each other. Additional Info: There are 60 sub-species of the primate Lemur, and 88 different species divided into five surviving families. <P> The ring-tailed lemur is highly social, living in groups of up to 30 individuals. It is also female dominant, a trait common among lemurs. To keep warm and reaffirm social bonds, groups will huddle together. The ring-tailed lemur is a relatively large lemur. Its average weight is 2.2 kilograms (4.9 lb). Its head–body length ranges between 39 and 46 cm (15 and 18 in), its tail length is 56 and 63 cm (22 and 25 in), and its total length is 95 and 110 cm (37 and 43 in). <P> Answer: plot, congress, conspiracy. A group of lemur is called a plot, congress, conspiracy. Lemurs make up the infraorder Lemuriformes and are members of a group of primates known as prosimians. The term lemur is derived from the Latin word lemures, meaning spirits of the night or ghosts. This likely refers to their large, reflective eyes and the wailing cries of some species (the Indri in particular). The term is generically used for the members of the four lemuriform families, but it is also the genus of one of the lemuriform species, the Ring-tailed Lemur (Lemur catta). The two so-called flying lemur species, that are also called colugos, are not lemurs or even primates. <P> When they do this, it is called a lemur ball.. (wikipedia) That's one name for a group of Lemurs! I also seen a group of Lemurs referred to as dummies on Wiki answers, but I really doubt this is at all correct. I would imagine someone thought it would make a funny answer. I hope this helps answer your question! Take care. **Edit-if someone could post a link showing a group of Lemurs called dummies i'd be interested-because I can't seem to find it anywhere, besides the one answer on Wiki Answers, and I seem to doubt its authenticity as a correct title for a group of Lemurs!

Alex Dunkel. <P> Ring-tailed lemurs are some of the most vocal primates. The ring-tailed lemur is one of the most vocal primates and has a complex array of distinct vocalizations used to maintain group cohesion during foraging and alert group members to the presence of a predator. Calls range from simple to complex. The ring-tailed lemur is a relatively large lemur. Its average weight is 2.2 kilograms (4.9 lb). Its head–body length ranges between 39 and 46 cm (15 and 18 in), its tail length is 56 and 63 cm (22 and 25 in), and its total length is 95 and 110 cm (37 and 43 in). <P> Ring-tailed lemurs also spend a lot of time on the ground, which is unusual among lemur species. They forage for fruit, which makes up the greater part of their diet, but also eat leaves, flowers, tree bark, and sap. <P> Lemur females are dominant. A group of lemurs usually has one dominant female who leads the group, controls their movement, and has first choice of food and mates. Common parts of a lemur diet in the wild include fruits, leaves, and other edible plant materials. An exception is the ring-tailed lemur, which spends most of its time on the ground. The majority of lemurs are also diurnal, awake during the day and asleep at night — especially those that live in groups, including the ring-tailed lemurs, brown lemurs, and sifakas.

difference between act and rule utilitarianism
|
<P> The supposed difference between Rule Utilitarianism and Act Utilitarianism. For rule utilitarians, the correctness of a rule is determined by the amount of good it brings about when followed. In contrast, act utilitarians judge an act in terms of the consequences of that act alone. <P> The differences between rule and act utilitarianism are as follows: the act utilitarian only considers the results or consequences of a single action whereas the rule utilitarian considers the consequences that result of following a rule of conduct. Let's take a simple example to make this clearer. <P> Therefore the difference between act and rule utilitarianism, is that rule utilitarianism is based on rules and following the rules, even if it does not produce the greatest pleasure for the greatest number, as telling the truth instead of lying is good for everyone. <P> 1. Act utilitarianism is the belief that an action becomes morally right when it produces the greatest good for the greatest number of people, while Rule utilitarianism is the belief that the moral correctness of an action depends on the correctness of the rules that allows it to achieve the greatest good. 2. <P> ACT and RULE Utilitarianism. There is a difference between rule and act utilitarianism. The act utilitarian considers only the results or consequences of the single act while the rule utilitarian considers the consequences that result of following a rule of conduct. <P> Conversely, the other type of utilitarianism is based on rules. These rules can include rules of conduct and similar principles. It is a more idealistic and rigid theory wherein an act is interpreted to be either right or wrong depending on the result of the agreed rule.

how much does it cost to keep chickens
|
<P> Feed: The amount of feed your chickens will eat will depend on the breed(s) you choose. Also, I noticed you said you would be free ranging during the day. I to free range my birds, I have 12 birds(several different breeds) and they go through a 50 pound bag of feed every 4 to 5 weeks. Also, include the cost of a chicken coop, waterer and a fence because we are planing to have free range chickens during the day. Answer: I am going to answer your question from the most economical way of starting out with chickens. First, lets get the vet issue out of the way. <P> adel97. I think there are a lot of variables to consider. Feed cost for 2 - 4 chickens will be relatively small since a 50 lb bag will last quite a while. I use pine shavings, and I use about 1 50 lb bag/month. There's the upfront cost for waterers and feeders, and if you electrify the coop, there's costs for installation and energy usage. <P> Well it depends on where you get them and what type of chicken they are. You have to buy a minimum of 5 so you have to buy 5 or more. Tractor supply sells them but not until s … ometime in February thru early august. They sell 5 for about $25.00 but you still have to buy a coop $100.00, feed $10.00.....etc.... The price depends. if you buy them at chicks, they can cost anywhere from $1.50 to $6. If you buy them once they're all grown up, they will be more expensive, anywhere from $10 to $25. <P> Wood shavings cost around $6.00 (.276 cubic meter loose and .092 cubic meters compressed). Straw will cost you between $3.00 and $12.00 per bale, depending on availability, quality and size of order. Sawdust pellets will cost around $4.00 per 40 lbs bag. How much a chicken will eat is near impossible to say. Certain breeds, Leghorns for example, are not big eaters. <P> Grower and all flock feed for older chickens will cost around $17.00 per 50 lbs bag and layer pellets between $15.00 and $30.00 per 50 lbs bag, depending again on brand and whether you buy organic/regular. Scratch grains cost around $10.00 per 50 lbs bag, between depending on availability and quality. Straw will cost you between $3.00 and $12.00 per bale, depending on availability, quality and size of order. Sawdust pellets will cost around $4.00 per 40 lbs bag. How much a chicken will eat is near impossible to say. Certain breeds, Leghorns for example, are not big eaters. <P> What Chickens Cost. Since the beginning of this adventure, I've tracked feed and building costs, along with sales to friends and associates, but not actual egg production. Here's what it looks like to date (from 15 chicks in May of 2011 to 17 producing hens - 13 of which are 20 months old and 4 are about 7 months... Cost/Benefit Tracking Sheets. To help you figure out how much your chickens cost or benefit your household, purely by the numbers, I've put together a very simple cost and benefits tracking spreadsheet for you to download for your own use. You can download it here: 1 Chicken Economics Calculator (xlsx format). <P> 1 Cost of building the coop and run (materials only): $315. 2 Cost of feed, scratch (all certified organic), bedding, etc.: $1,400. 3 Income from egg sales to friends & associates: $1,175.

To help you figure out how much your chickens cost or benefit your household, purely by the numbers, I've put together a very simple cost and benefits tracking spreadsheet for you to download for your own use. You can download it here: 1 Chicken Economics Calculator (xlsx format). <P> If you decide to raise your own chicks you can expect to pay $3.00 and $5.00 per chick (day-old) for popular breeds and for rare breeds you can expect to pay up to $50.00 or more per chick. Older chicks and mature chickens' prices vary greatly between breeds, age of the chickens etc. Straw will cost you between $3.00 and $12.00 per bale, depending on availability, quality and size of order. Sawdust pellets will cost around $4.00 per 40 lbs bag. How much a chicken will eat is near impossible to say. Certain breeds, Leghorns for example, are not big eaters. <P> Each adult chicken will eat approximately 1/4 pound of feed per day. A bag of purchased layer feed is 50 pounds and costs me approximately $35 (you may be able to get it cheaper where you live). That is about 17.5 cents a day per chicken. The average multi-purpose hen will lay approximately 260 eggs per year at peak performance. How much does it really cost to feed chickens in return for eggs, is it really worth it or should I just buy them from the store or a neighbors. My first thought is that it's a no brainer. I know eggs from free range hens are much healthier than anything store bought and I love having chickens around. <P> The approximate costs to raise 3 hens would be: 1 Chickens: $3 - $30 per chicken depending on age, breed etc. 2 Coop: Free (recycled materials) to $2,000 & up (new & fancy). 3 Feed approximately $15.00 per month. 4 Miscellaneous $10.00 per month. Straw will cost you between $3.00 and $12.00 per bale, depending on availability, quality and size of order. Sawdust pellets will cost around $4.00 per 40 lbs bag.

<P> Best Answer: Fear is shaking hands, trembling fingers, a wildly beating heart and a churning stomach. Fear is wild eyes and the feeling of being paralyzed. A white, ghostly face and the blood draining from her face. I imagine her mind becoming clear. <P> 1. Use physical symptoms the character might experience. Emotions trigger physical reactions, and these are clues readers can use to determine how a characters feels. Racing heart, shaking, numb fingers, sweaty palms all signal fear (or possibly love in the right circumstances). <P> Thanks 218. Ways to show/describe fear. I'm doing a little work on my writing skills, a little self-workshop type thing, and I was trying to think of ways one could show a character feeling fear that didn't seem overly dramatic or clich d. That got me to thinking of how the body reacts to fear. <P> If a character was watching something like this, they would probably feel adrenaline, not a lot of fear, at least until the tension in the situation dies down. People tend to react like that. She could, however, panic. When someone panics, they can't describe how they feel other than the physical symptoms. <P> How to Describe the feeling of fear in English. In this English language tutorial we look at fear and being afraid. There are many words to convey the emotion of fear and anxiety. This ESL lesson teaches you how to talk about your fear and the names of some common phobias. <P> All About Fear. Fear is a vital response to physical and emotional danger—if we didn't feel it, we couldn't protect ourselves from legitimate threats. But often we fear situations that are far from life-or-death, and thus hang back for no good reason.

where does phlegm come from
|
<P> The term ‘Phlegm’ comes from the Greek word ‘phlegma’ meaning inflammation. It actually means the mucus that gets accumulated in your throat and needs to be coughed out. It is a watery substance, often viscous, that varies in color and quantity depending on the sickness you are suffering from. http://www.healthhype.com/coughing-up-phlegm-mucus-sputum-from-the-throat.html. http://www.coughingupphlegm.org/. http://www.ehow.com/how_5618387_cough-up-mucus.html. Published on November 25th 2010 by anirudh under Lungs, Breathing and Respiration. <P> Introduction. Mucus is an important part of your body's ability to protect itself from foreign invaders ranging from allergens to viruses and bacteria. Though it may feel like a pain to have a runny nose, or cough of phlegm, it is the mucus in these substances that actually helps you get better faster. Mucus is a mixture of approximately 95 percent water and five percent salt, fat, carbohydrates and proteins. Where It Comes From. Mucus comes from your mucus glands around the nose and sinus cavities. A healthy person will normally generate about a pint of mucus per day. This mucus runs down your nasal cavities to both keep them moist, as well as attract and trap and foreign particles that enter the nose. <P> Phlegm is a mucus-like substance produced by the lower airways, such as the lungs and the respiratory system leading to the lungs, not by the nose and sinuses, which produce the mucus that streams out of or clogs up your nose. You may not notice phlegm unless you cough it up as a symptom of bronchitis or pneumonia. As is the case with mucus, phlegm that has a color such as green or yellow may indicate infection. Any time you see blood in the phlegm you cough up, you should seek medical attention. 3. 1 Post-nasal drip (thick mucus). 2 Take an expectorant (this thins mucus and phlegm), drink lots of fluids, breathe through a warm washcloth, and use steam to make the mucus more liquid. 3 Congestion (blocked nose). <P> Coughing up yellow mucus is a sign that there is an inflammation of the respiratory tract. Inflammatory cells are also known as leucocytes and it is these cells that produce the yellow coloured mucus. Quite commonly a person with bronchitis or pneumonia will experience coughing up mucus that has a yellow tinge to it. <P> By: Nina Kristiansen. A runny nose is a sure symptom of a cold, but also allergies can turn your nose into a leaking faucet. (Photo: Colourbox). Winter has come to the Northern part of the world, and people are suffering from colds. One symptom of the seasonal cold is the runny nose <P> Your respiratory system is protected by a special type of mucus, known as phlegm. Its job is to protect the lungs from stuff that could get in there, like dust, pollen or smoke. The stuff that makes it to your nose is called nasal mucus, or snot. <P> Snot is actually a collective designation for everything that comes out of your nose, with the exception of when you have a nosebleed. When you are healthy it runs out as mucous. If the mucous is dried you get boogers. When you catch a cold the production increases and the phlegm and body water run from your nose. A runny nose is a sure symptom of a cold, but also allergies can turn your nose into a leaking faucet. (Photo: Colourbox). Winter has come to the Northern part of the world, and people are suffering from colds. <P> Phlegm /ˈflɛm/ (Greek: φλέγμα inflammation, humour caused by heat) is a liquid secreted by the mucous membranes of mammals. Its definition is limited to the mucus produced by the respiratory system, excluding that from the nasal passages, and particularly that which is expelled by coughing (sputum). Phlegm is in essence a water-based gel consisting of glycoproteins, immunoglobulins, lipids and other substances. <P> Mucus also acts as a sort of flypaper, trapping unwanted substances like bacteria and dust before they can get into the body -- particularly the sensitive airways. You want to keep that environment, which is a sterile environment, free of gunk, says Johns. Mucus is kind of sticky and thick. Mucus' Mission. Mucus-producing tissue lines the mouth, nose, sinuses, throat, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. Mucus acts as a protective blanket over these surfaces, preventing the tissue underneath from drying out.

The price will be dependent on the size of your kitchen, the simplicity of the layout and the materials used. The average cost of a complete kitchen remodel will run anywhere from a low of $7,504 all the way to the maximum of $40,000. <P> Quin Trent says. The thing that really determines how much a kitchen renovation will cost all depends on the size of the kitchen. That is something that everyone has to know about before they can give you the price to do things. So you need to inform them of all the measurements that they need to know. It really depends on what you would like to do with your remodel. Some people go all out and completely rearrange their kitchen while others just get new cabinets. The cost will be different for each project, so trying to say how much a kitchen remodel would cost would be difficult. <P> 1 In contrast, DoItYourself.com estimates that the cost of a typical kitchen remodel can start around $5,000 with some do-it-yourself work included, and averages $15,000-$26,000. 1 The cost of remodeling a kitchen depends on the current layout, size and condition of the room, as well as the quality of replacement products chosen. <P> According to Kennedy, most cabinets range from $500 to $1,500 per cabinet box.

what does a demodulator do
|
<P> The AM detector or demodulator includes a capacitor at the output. Its purpose is to remove any radio frequency components of the signal at the output. The value is chosen so that it does not affect the audio base-band signal. <P> Demodulation is the act of extracting the original information-bearing signal from a modulated carrier wave. A demodulator is an electronic circuit (or computer program in a software-defined radio) that is used to recover the information content from the modulated carrier wave. There are several ways of demodulation depending on how parameters of the base-band signal such as amplitude, frequency or phase are transmitted in the carrier signal. For example, for a signal modulated with a linear modulation like AM (amplitude modulation), we can use a synchronous detector. <P> The signal output from a demodulator may represent sound (an analog audio signal), images (an analog video signal) or binary data (a digital signal). These terms are traditionally used in connection with radio receivers, but many other systems use many kinds of demodulators. There are several ways of demodulation depending on how parameters of the base-band signal such as amplitude, frequency or phase are transmitted in the carrier signal. For example, for a signal modulated with a linear modulation like AM (amplitude modulation), we can use a synchronous detector. <P> A demodulator is commonly known as a radio tuner. It takes AM, FM and QAM signals and decodes them into an audio/video output. Demodulators have been used since the very first wireless transmissions and continue to be used today with internet modem technology. A demodulator may be used with a walkie talkie. A demodulator is typically known as a radio tuner. AM radio stations on a car radio might come in and out of tune as the car passes telephone poles. CB radios often use a demodulator. <P> A demodulator is an electronic circuit used to recover the information content from the carrier wave of a signal.[1] The term is traditionally used in connection with radio receivers, but many other systems use many kinds of demodulators. A modulator modulates the carrier frequency, while a demodulator detects the modulation on the carrier wave and recovers the original lower frequency waveform at the destination. For many years the modulated carrier wave was converted to a radio signal. <P> A demodulator is a circuit used in AM (amplitude modulation) and FM (frequency modulation) receivers to separate the information that was modulated onto the carrier from the carrier itself. It could be audio and/or video information, or other data. A demodulator is the analog of the modulator. A modulator modulates the carrier frequency, while a demodulator detects the modulation on the carrier wave and recovers the original lower frequency waveform at the destination. For many years the modulated carrier wave was converted to a radio signal. <P> An AM signal encodes the information onto the carrier wave by varying its amplitude in direct sympathy with the analogue signal to be sent. There are two methods used to demodulate AM signals 1 : The envelope detector is a very simple method of demodulation that does not require a coherent demodulator. There are several ways of demodulation depending on how parameters of the base-band signal such as amplitude, frequency or phase are transmitted in the carrier signal. For example, for a signal modulated with a linear modulation like AM (amplitude modulation), we can use a synchronous detector. <P> A demodulator is a circuit that separates the Amplitude Modulation (AM), Frequency Modulation (FM) and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) signals from the countless radio waves in our atmosphere and decodes the information from the carrier. A demodulator may be used with a walkie talkie. A demodulator is typically known as a radio tuner. AM radio stations on a car radio might come in and out of tune as the car passes telephone poles. CB radios often use a demodulator. <P> For example, in a modem, which is a contraction of the terms modulator /demodulator, a demodulator is used to extract a serial digital data stream from a carrier signal which is used to carry it through a telephone line, coaxial cable, or optical fiber. Contents. There are several ways of demodulation depending on how parameters of the base-band signal such as amplitude, frequency or phase are transmitted in the carrier signal.

what do painted turtles eat
|
<P> Painted turtles feed mainly on plants, small animals, such as fish, crustaceans, aquatic insects, and some carrion. Young painted turtles are mainly carnivorous, acquiring a taste for plants later in life. Because they have no teeth, the turtle jaw has tough, horny plates for gripping food. <P> What do turtles eat in the wild. What turtles in the wild eat depends greatly on the type of turtle and its natural habitat. Wild turtles typically eat a lot of plants that grow in the water, small insects, snails, worms, and even dead marine animals and fish. Protein is very important for wild turtle's to grow. This is why many wild turtles are carnivorous when they are young and then gradually start eating plants and vegetation as they age. The ideal diet for most adult turtles are protein, including cooked meat, insects, and cooked eggs, and leafy vegetables. Many turtles also like fruit and even flowers. Never feed a turtle dairy products, as their stomach cannot properly digest lactose. Also steer clear of giving turtles processed foods. <P> Diet. Baby painted turtles are carnivorous, which means they eat other living things. The diet of baby painted turtles consists of small fish, worms, insects and tadpoles. They also eat carrion, or dead fish and insects. As painted turtles mature, they add plants to their diet <P> So to answer the question of what do painted turtles eat... a little bit of every thing. Some leafy greens and veggies, some proteins in the form of turtle pellets and/or insects and most fruits. The average adult is fed every other day, and for some every three days depending on the turtles size and age. <P> So to answer the question of what do painted turtles eat... a little bit of every thing. Some leafy greens and veggies, some proteins in the form of turtle pellets and/or insects and most fruits. The average adult is fed every other day, and for some every three days depending on the turtles size and age. Painted turtles are omnivores, meaning they eat a mixture of animal and plant material. Younger turtles eat more animal protein than adults, though. Juveniles should be fed daily, but adults can be fed every 2-3 days. <P> Home.

types of egyptian materials for clothing
|
<P> Fashion for men and women, rich or poor, changed very little over the centuries in Ancient Egypt. The clothing worn by men and women was made of linen, were simple in design, and lightweight for the hot climate. All men, from the tomb worker to the pharaoh, wore a kind of kilt or apron that varied in length over the years, from halfway above the knee, to halfway below it. Such outfits were found in Tutankhamen's tomb and were depicted quite frequently on the walls of tombs. At times kings and queens wore decorative ceremonial clothing adorned with feathers. The manufacture of clothes was apparently mostly women's work. <P> Ancient Egyptian clothes refers to clothing worn in ancient Egypt from the end of the Neolithic period (prior to 3100 BC) to the collapse of the Ptolemaic dynasty with the death of Cleopatra VII in 30 BC. Egyptian clothing was filled with a variety of colors. Women's clothing in ancient Egypt was more conservative than men's clothing. The dresses were held up by one or two straps and were worn down to the ankle, while the upper edge could be worn above or below the breasts. The length of the dress denoted the social class of the wearer. <P> Confidence votes 933. The ancient Egyptians used Linen made from flax as clothing material. In ancient Egypt clothing was made from cotton, linen, leather, wool (though the Pharaohs considered animal hair unclean so they had very little wool). <P> The clothing of men and women of several social levels of ancient Egypt are depicted in this tomb mural from the fifteenth century BC. Women's clothing in ancient Egypt was more conservative than men's clothing. The dresses were held up by one or two straps and were worn down to the ankle, while the upper edge could be worn above or below the breasts. The length of the dress denoted the social class of the wearer. <P> Their clothing was most likely made of linen and were nearly always white. The men’s clothing was mainly skirts and ‘tube tops’. Women however wore long dresses. Linen, the most common material used in Ancient Egyptian times, was made by the Egyptians themselves. These are the steps to making linen: Almost all clothing was made from linen which was made from flax. Flax: a plant having small leaves, blue flowers and stems about two feet tall. Ancient Egyptian Clothing. When it came to clothing and fashion, Egyptians were very original. They did not settle for just one or two big pieces of cloth, they would cover their entire body in jewels, vibrant colored clothing and heavy crowns of pure gold. <P> In Ancient Egypt, textiles were used for many purposes, among them clothing, bags, sails, ropes, and nets. Ancient Egyptian textiles were primarily made of linen, which comes from the flax plant. Textiles were also made from palm fibers, grass, seeds, and much less frequently from sheep's wool and goat hair. <P> Linen is made from the flax plant by spinning the fibers from the stem of the plant. Spinning, weaving and sewing were very important techniques for all Egyptian societies. Plant dyes could be applied to clothing but the clothing was usually left in its natural color. Women's clothing in ancient Egypt was more conservative than men's clothing. The dresses were held up by one or two straps and were worn down to the ankle, while the upper edge could be worn above or below the breasts. The length of the dress denoted the social class of the wearer. <P> Ancient Egypt. The type of clothing materials that the ancient Egyptians made their clothes from are not that much different from the clothing of today. A variety of textured linens were used to create the clothing, such as coarse and fine textures. The Scottish were not the only individuals to wear a kilt, ancient Egyptian men often wore short skirts of the same name. This was typical throughout the Old and Middle kingdoms. Women put on dresses with a straight fit that were held together by straps. <P> The Egyptian climate with its hot summers and mild winters favoured light clothing made from plant fibers, predominantly linen and in Roman times occasionally cotton, an import from India. Wool was used to a lesser extent, and seldom by Egyptians proper. The clothes were generally made of linen and kept simple: a short loincloth resembling a kilt for men, a dress with straps for women. These basic garments with minor variations accounting for fashion, social status and wealth did not change fundamentally throughout Egypt's history. <P> Egypt is a hot country and so people wore lightweight clothes which kept them cool. We can see what they wore from the many paintings and sculptures they left behind. Ancient Egyptian clothes covered most of their skin and were made from plant fibres such as linen.

characteristics of dietary fiber
|
<P> Pastas with added soluble and insoluble dietary fiber ingredients were evaluated in relation to biochemical composition, cooking properties, and textural characteristics. Results show that both the type and amount of added fiber influence the overall quality of both raw and cooked pasta. <P> Dietary fiber or roughage is the indigestible portion of food derived from plants. It has two main components: 1 Soluble fiber, which dissolves in water, is readily fermented in the colon into gases and physiologically active byproducts, and can be prebiotic and viscous. Sources of insoluble fiber include: 1 whole grain foods. 2 wheat and corn bran. 3 legumes such as beans and peas. 4 nuts and seeds. 5 potato skins. 6 lignans. 7 vegetables such as green beans, cauliflower, zucchini (courgette), celery, and nopal. <P> Method Requirements Adoption of the definition for dietary fiber, i.e. “Dietary fiber is the remnants of the edible part of plants and analogous car-bohydrates that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the human small intestine with complete or partial fermenta-tion in the human large intestine. All nondigestible, fermentable polysaccharides, whether they are polyglucoses such as cellulose or beta-glucans, or polyfructoses such as inulin, or het-eropolymers such as arabinoxylans and arabinogalactans, or analo-gous carbohydrates, are included in the definition of dietary fiber. <P> Dietary fibers can act by changing the nature of the contents of the gastrointestinal tract and by changing how other nutrients and chemicals are absorbed. Some types of soluble fiber absorb water to become a gelatinous, viscous substance which is fermented by bacteria in the digestive tract. Sources of insoluble fiber include: 1 whole grain foods. 2 wheat and corn bran. 3 legumes such as beans and peas. 4 nuts and seeds. 5 potato skins. 6 lignans. 7 vegetables such as green beans, cauliflower, zucchini (courgette), celery, and nopal. <P> 112 / MARCH 2001, VOL. 46, NO. 3 The Definition of Dietary Fiber 1 “Dietary fiber is the edible parts of plants or analogous carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and ab-sorption in the human small intestine with complete or partial fermentation in the large intestine. All nondigestible, fermentable polysaccharides, whether they are polyglucoses such as cellulose or beta-glucans, or polyfructoses such as inulin, or het-eropolymers such as arabinoxylans and arabinogalactans, or analo-gous carbohydrates, are included in the definition of dietary fiber. <P> Fiber is a complex carbohydrate that consists of cellulose, pectin, gum, mucilage, hemicellulose, and lignin. You don't completely digest and absorb fiber, because you don't h … ave the enzymes required to disassemble it. For that reason, fiber accounts for less than the four Calories per gram of other carbohydrates. Fiber is considered a nutrient. It's a dietary component that is essential for good health. Your body doesn't actually breakdown insoluble fiber, so you can't absorb the … caloric content. <P> Soluble fiber is found in varying quantities in all plant foods, including: 1 legumes (peas, soybeans, lupins and other beans). 2 oats, rye, chia, and barley. 3 some fruits (including figs, avocados, plums, prunes, berries, ripe bananas, and the skin of apples, quinces and pears). Sources of insoluble fiber include: 1 whole grain foods. 2 wheat and corn bran. 3 legumes such as beans and peas. 4 nuts and seeds. 5 potato skins. 6 lignans. 7 vegetables such as green beans, cauliflower, zucchini (courgette), celery, and nopal. <P> Chemically, dietary fiber consists of non-starch polysaccharides such as arabinoxylans, cellulose, and many other plant components such as resistant starch, resistant dextrins, inulin, lignin, waxes, chitins, pectins, beta-glucans, and oligosaccharides. Sources of insoluble fiber include: 1 whole grain foods. 2 wheat and corn bran. 3 legumes such as beans and peas. 4 nuts and seeds. 5 potato skins. 6 lignans. 7 vegetables such as green beans, cauliflower, zucchini (courgette), celery, and nopal. <P> The result was the adoption of the final pro-posed definition “Dietary fiber is the edible parts of plants or analogous carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the human small intestine with complete or par-tial fermentation in the large intestine. All nondigestible, fermentable polysaccharides, whether they are polyglucoses such as cellulose or beta-glucans, or polyfructoses such as inulin, or het-eropolymers such as arabinoxylans and arabinogalactans, or analo-gous carbohydrates, are included in the definition of dietary fiber.
