how tall is the tallest tree in africa
|
<P> The tallest trees in Africa. In this table of height records in Africa only height measurements made by laser (like eg. the Nikon 550 Forestry) or tape drop are listed. Of course this inventory contains only tree records as far as they are registered on this site. Tweet. <P> Stratosphere Giant was once considered the tallest tree in the world. It was discovered in July 2000 in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, measuring 112.34 metres (368.6 ft) tall. The tree has continued to grow and measured 113.11 m (371.1 ft) in 2010. It is a specimen of the species Sequoia sempervirens, the Coast Redwood. Diameter: 4,84 m (15,9 ft). Hyperion is the name of a Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in Northern California that was measured at 115.61 metres (379.3 ft), which ranks it as the world's tallest known living tree. Hyperion was discovered August 25, 2006 by naturalists Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor <P> In July 2006 some other record tall trees were discovered: Helios (named after the Greek God of the sun), the world's tallest known tree as of June 2006 (114.09 m), Icarus (113.14 m), and Daedalus (110.76 m). Note that although the tallest living tree in the world is a coast redwood, the biggest living tree on the planet is a specimen of a related species, the giant sequoia. The largest giant sequoia is named . General Sherman . <P> The tallest one, named Centurion , is now around 100 m (328 ft) tall and is the tallest living hardwood tree on earth. This eucalypt tree was only discovered in October 2008 by using a laser mounted on a plane, that was measuring the terrain height, forest height and forest biomass [5] . Note that although the tallest living tree in the world is a coast redwood, the biggest living tree on the planet is a specimen of a related species, the giant sequoia. The largest giant sequoia is named . General Sherman . <P> The tallest trees in the world are redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), which tower above the ground in California. These trees can easily reach heights of 300 feet (91 meters). Among the redwoods, a tree named Hyperion dwarfs them all. The tree was discovered in 2006, and is 379.7 feet (115.7 m) tall. Shortly after it was measured and deemed the world's tallest, a writer for the New Yorker climbed close to the top and described what it was like to stand there. <P> In case you don't have a clue about how tall 115.72 m (379.7 feet) is: the height of Big Ben in London is 96.3 m (316 feet), that of the statue of Liberty is 46.5 + 46.9 m (151 + 154 feet), so both tall constructions are largely lower than these trees. Note that although the tallest living tree in the world is a coast redwood, the biggest living tree on the planet is a specimen of a related species, the giant sequoia. The largest giant sequoia is named . General Sherman . <P> Hyperion, the world's tallest living tree. The tallest tree in the world is a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), named Hyperion after a person in Greek mythology. The tree is no less than 115.72 m (379.7 feet) tall ! Note that although the tallest living tree in the world is a coast redwood, the biggest living tree on the planet is a specimen of a related species, the giant sequoia.

<P> Grover Underwood, first satyr introduced in series. Satyrs, also known as Fauns by Romans, are creatures with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a goat complete with hairy goat legs and hooves, as well as goat horns, and the pointed ears of a goat. <P> A humanized Satyr is depicted in a work of Praxiteles known as the Resting Satyr . Greek spirits [non-classical] known as Calicantsars have a noticeable resemblance to the ancient satyrs; they have goats' ears and the feet of donkeys or goats or horses, are covered with hair, and love women and the dance. In the Dionysus cult, male followers are known as satyrs and female followers as maenads or bacchants. In Attica there was a species of drama known as the legends of gods and heroes, and the chorus was composed of satyrs and sileni. In the Athenian satyr plays of the 5th century BC, the chorus commented on the action. <P> The goat on the left has a short goat tail, but the Greek satyr on the right has a long horse tail, not a goat tail (Attic ceramic, 520 BC). Satyrs acquired their goat-like aspect through later Roman conflation with Faunus, a carefree Italic nature spirit of similar characteristics and identified with the Greek god Pan. In the Dionysus cult, male followers are known as satyrs and female followers as maenads or bacchants. In Attica there was a species of drama known as the legends of gods and heroes, and the chorus was composed of satyrs and sileni. In the Athenian satyr plays of the 5th century BC, the chorus commented on the action. <P> In both mythology and art, satyrs are sometimes confused with Sileni. Sileni are actually another type of mythological being. They are however are closely related to the satyr in appearance and mannerisms. It should be mentioned that Sileni sometimes also have the ears and tail of a horse. <P> 0 Shares. Dictionaries-Easton's Bible Dictionary-Satyr. hairy one.

what is the correct sequence of blood vessels from the heart through the body and back to the heart
|
<P> The heart is a muscular pump that pushes blood through blood vessels around the body. Essential to life, the heart beats continuously, pumping the equivalent of more than 14,000 litres of blood every day. Blood vessels form the living system of tubes that carry blood both to and from the heart. <P> If you put all vessels together (veins, arteries, venules, arterioles, capillaries) in a single strand, you would have a long enough strand to reach twice around the earth! We'll start with the systemic circuit: and we'll start with the blood in the left side of the heart. The arteries are blood vessels which carry blood away from the heart. The main artery is the aorta, which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. 25 people found this useful. <P> Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart. PubMed Health Glossary. <P> De-oxygenated blood enters the right atrium of the heart and flows into the right ventricle where it is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Pulmonary veins return the now oxygen-rich blood to the heart, where it enters the left atrium before flowing into the left ventricle. Arteries always take blood away from the heart, regardless of their oxygenation, and veins always bring blood back. In general, arteries bring oxygenated blood to the tissues; veins bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart. <P> Pulmonary circulation Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart.

how big do polar bears get
|
<P> Polar bears are the largest carnivorous land mammals on Earth. They are about 7-8 feet long measured from nose to the tip of their very short tail. Male polar bears are much larger than the females. A large male can weigh more than 1,700 pounds, while a large female is about half that size (up to 1,000 pounds). <P> Polar bears are found across the Arctic. They are most abundant in areas with annual sea ice and productive ringed seal populations. There are five nations with polar bears: U.S. (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Greenland (Kingdom of Denmark), and Norway (Svalbard). Polar bears do not live in Antarctica. In the wild, polar bears live an average 15 to 18 years, although biologists have tagged a few bears in their early 30s. In captivity, some long-lived bears reach their mid-to late 30s.

average time to walk a mile by age
|
<P> In general, it is between 3.0 – 3.5 miles per hour which means you can walk one mile in 17 to 20 minutes. At this brisk pace, many people will enjoy the aerobic benefits, such as strengthened cardiovascular system, lower blood pressure, less anxiety and improved overall physical fitness. What is a good average walking speed for fitness walking? The answer depends on a few factors, such as your age, fitness level, leg length, terrain (flat or hilly) and gender (research has shown that men move faster than women). <P> No conclusive evidence exists on “average” 1-mile run times, because there is no scientifically agreed-upon average runner. Opinion varies widely, but most anecdotal evidence places the average between seven and 10 minutes per mile for a non-competitive, in-shape runner. An elite athlete may complete a mile in less than five minutes, and the world record at the time of publication is three minutes and 43 seconds, held by Hicham El Guerrouj. Someone new to running, using a run-walk system to build her endurance, may need between 12 and 15 minutes. <P> 1 An average fitness walking pace is close to a 15 minute mile. 2 But, a good pace will vary depending on your fitness level, walking technique, walking goals, and terrain. 3 For general fitness walking you should walk at a pace that increases your heart rate, and you can maintain for 30 to 60 minutes. 4 Use the talk test... <P> Ages 17 to 21. A runner who is 17 to 21 and in good health runs a mile in about 6:30 if he is in the top 1 percent of that age group, according to standards set by the U.S. Army Physical Fitness Guide. Runners should shoot for a time of approximately 8:18 if they want to be in the 50 percent bracket for the age group <P> The average human speed for a brisk walking pace is about 3.5 MPH. At that rate, it would take just about 27 hours to walk 94 miles. Assume walking for 8 hours a day, that w … ould be three days of walking and mid-morning of the fourth day to reach your destination. 2 people found this useful. <P> 3. At the end of the mile note your time in minutes and seconds in a notebook or somewhere else you won t lose. How to use your results with the Walk Training Calendar. The walk training calendar starts with a 15 minute walk twice a week something anyone can do. So it s safe to start there. How to take the One-Mile Walk Test. 1. Warm up and stretch for four to five minutes, particularly the leg muscles. Begin to walk slowly and gradually build up to a brisk speed. <P> GOLDENRODFARM. This is an odd test, one mile in 14 minutes is not a walking test, it is running for me, anything less then 17 minutes is running/jogging, my legs just don't go fast enough at a walk for that without resorting to running. To think someone my age can walk that fast without running is very strange. <P> Although a brisk walk of say 16 to 20 minutes per mile is best and even less time is even better. I think I walk a mile in around 16 minutes sometimes 15 1/2 if on one of those nice trails I mentioned. Just concentrate on some daily walks of a distance of your choice but at least 30 minutes will give you many benefits. <P> The 1 Mile Walk Test is an aerobic fitness test that is a good option for students who are starting a walking program, and for students unable to perform the 1.5 Mile Run Test safely because of low fitness level or injury.

The power factor of resistive impedance load is equal to 1. <P> 4. Divide the wattage by the voltage to arrive at the amperage. Once you know both the wattage and voltage of your system, you can find the amperage using the formula above. For example, if watts = 120 and volts = 120, then the amperage is: (120 / 120) or 1 amp. This means that in a 120-volt system, 120 watts of power will correspond to a current of 1 amp. Ad. <P> In the four tables below, you may enter two of the four factors in Ohm's Law. They are Power (P) or (W), measured in Watts, Voltage (V) or (E), measured in Volts, Current or Amperage (I), measured in Amps (Amperes), and Resistance (R) measured in Ohms. The needed factor will be calculated for you when you click on the Calculate button for that table. <P> How to use this tool: Watts = Amps x Volts. Watts is also known as volt-amps and is typically used in conjunction with AC power circuits. Fill in any of the two fields to find the value of the third. Example 1. You have a 12 Volt power supply that delivers 1 Amp of current. Fill in the Volts and Amps fields to find the Watts. Example 2. The AC24-40 power supply is a 24V AC power supply that can power up to 40 VA. 1 Enter 24 under volts. 2 Enter 40 under watts. 3 Click calculate. 4 You get 1.66 in this example <P> Use the numbers you found to calculate the device's wattage. Take the formula Watts = Amps x Volts and plug the numbers you found for the Volts and the Amps into their appropriate spots. 1 For example if the Amps = 12.52 and the Volts = 20, then the wattage of the device would equal 250.40 (that is 250.40 = 12.52 x 20). <P> Calculation with line to line voltage.

But they remain together throughout the first division during meiosis (meiosis I). It is only during the second meiotic division (during anaphase II) that they finally separate. A single replicated chromosome has two sister chromatids. One chromatid is shown in yellow, the other in blue. The two chromatids contain exactly identical chains of double-stranded DNA, as well as a protein support structure composed of mostly of histones. Histones are proteins present in all eukaryotic cells. <P> In meiosis I there is a reduction of the chromosome number from diploid (two separate copies of each chromosome) to haploid (one copy of each chromosome) during the formation of gametes. There is a random assortment of the homologs. <P> 1 Both sister chromatids separate during anaphase, but there are 4 haploid daughter cells in Telophase II compared to 2 diploid daughter cells in mitosis. 2 THE LIFE CYCLE OF HUMANS. 3 Meiosis. 4 Occurs in the gonads (testes and ovaries) to produce gametes (sperms, egg), which are N, or haploid (1 set of chromosomes). <P> In the illustration above, the third cell shows 4 sets of sister chromatids (joined, duplicated chromosomes) lined up at the cell's equator. In the fourth cell, these sister chromatids have separated from each other into 8 daughter chromosomes. Each of the two copies of a chromosome are designated as a sister chromatid and they are physically linked together at a point on the chromosome called the centromere. Students often become confused when it comes to the genetics terminology associated with chromosomes and chromosome number. <P> The paternal (blue) chromosomal and the maternal (pink) chromosome are homologous chromosomes. Following chromosomal replication, the blue chromosome is composed of two identical sister chromatids and the pink chromosome is composed of two identical sister chromatids. A sister chromatid refers to either of the two identical copies (chromatids) formed by the replication of a single chromosome, with both copies joined together by a common centromere. In other words, a sister chromatid may also be said as 'one-half' of the duplicated chromosome. A full set of sister chromatids is created during the synthesis (S) phase of interphase, when all the chromosomes in a cell are replicated <P> Nuclear and Cellular Division. During nuclear division, the chromosomes line up at the cell's equator and then the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell (poles). Once separated these former sister chromatids are now each considered a chromosome. Once the chromosomes move to opposite poles, the dividing cell reforms a nuclear membrane around each of the two areas of separated genetic material. Each of the two copies of a chromosome are designated as a sister chromatid and they are physically linked together at a point on the chromosome called the centromere. Students often become confused when it comes to the genetics terminology associated with chromosomes and chromosome number. <P> Sister chromatids (pronounced KRō-mə-tidz) are the two identical halves of a single replicated eukaryotic chromosome. They are joined at the centromere (see diagram at right) and genetically identical because, during interphase, they are produced from the two complementary strands of a single duplex DNA molecule (). A single replicated chromosome has two sister chromatids. One chromatid is shown in yellow, the other in blue. The two chromatids contain exactly identical chains of double-stranded DNA, as well as a protein support structure composed of mostly of histones. Histones are proteins present in all eukaryotic cells. <P> During cell division, the identical copies (called a sister chromatid pair ) are joined at the region called the centromere (2). Once the paired sister chromatids have separated from one another (in the anaphase of mitosis) each is known as a daughter chromosome. The short arm of the left chromatid (3), and the long arm of the right chromatid (4), are also marked. A chromatid (Greek khrōmat- 'color' + -id) is one copy of a newly replicated chromosome, which typically is joined to the other copy by a single centromere. Before replication, one chromosome is composed of one DNA (double-helix) molecul

how much can you earn when on carers allowance
|
<P> Carer's Allowance is the main state benefit for carers, so it's important to find out if you can receive it. It is currently £61.35 a week, with a one-off £10 Christmas bonus in December. If you make your claim for Carer's Allowance within three months of the date of that decision, your Carer's Allowance will be paid from the same date the PIP, DLA or AA is paid. You will be paid the arrears of benefits you're owed. <P> 1 Even if you look after more than one person for 35 hours a week, you can only claim one lot of Carer's Allowance. 2 When working out whether you provide 35 hours of care in any one week, note that a week runs from Sunday to Saturday under the Carer's Allowance rules. 3 You can't average the time over a number of weeks. If you make your claim for Carer's Allowance within three months of the date of that decision, your Carer's Allowance will be paid from the same date the PIP, DLA or AA is paid. You will be paid the arrears of benefits you're owed. <P> Carer's Allowance will continue to be paid for up to 12 weeks if you go into hospital. You must have been providing 35 hours or more of care a week for at least 14 of the past 26 weeks. The person you care for must have been in receipt of a qualifying benefit for that period. Taking a break. You can take a break from caring for up to 4 weeks in every 26 weeks and still be paid Carer's Allowance. You must have been providing 35 hours or more of care a week per week for at least 22 of the past 26 weeks. <P> 1. Carer’s Allowance is £62.10 a week to help you look after someone with substantial caring needs. You don’t have to be related to, or live with, the person you care for. You must be 16 or over and spend at least 35 hours a week caring for them. Carer’s Allowance is taxable. Overview. Carer’s Allowance is £62.10 a week to help you look after someone with substantial caring needs. You don’t have to be related to, or live with, the person you care for. You must be 16 or over and spend at least 35 hours a week caring for them. Carer’s Allowance is taxable. <P> 1 The carer of a child on a Domiciliary Care Allowance does not need to be the person who receives that allowance on the child's behalf. 2 You must not take part in employment, self-employment, training or education courses outside the home for more than 15 hours a week. 3 The maximum amount you can earn is €332.50 per week. Carer's Benefit is a payment made to insured people who leave the workforce to care for a person(s) in need of full-time care and attention. You can get Carer's Benefit for a total period of 104 weeks for each person being cared for. <P> 1 If you're caring for two or more disabled people, you can't add together the hours you're caring for all of them to make up the 35. 2 Even if you look after more than one person for 35 hours a week, you can only claim one lot of Carer's Allowance. If you make your claim for Carer's Allowance within three months of the date of that decision, your Carer's Allowance will be paid from the same date the PIP, DLA or AA is paid. You will be paid the arrears of benefits you're owed. <P> 1 Carer's Allowance is a taxable benefit. 2 A benefit cap limits the total amount of benefit that most people from 16-64 can be paid. 3 Also, as mentioned, the person cared for may have a reduction in certain benefits if you receive Carer's Allowance. 1 A benefit cap limits the total amount of benefit that most people from 16-64 can be paid. 2 <P> *For example, if you earn £120 per week (after tax and national insurance) you will not be entitled to Carer's Allowance. However, if you put £40 per week into a pension, half of the £40 can be deducted from your earnings. Your earnings for Carer's Allowance would therefore be £120 - £20 = £100 per week. Taking a break. You can take a break from caring for up to 4 weeks in every 26 weeks and still be paid Carer's Allowance. You must have been providing 35 hours or more of care a week per week for at least 22 of the past 26 weeks.

what is histone
|
<P> histone / histones. Under the microscope in its extended form, chromatin looks like beads on a string. The beads are called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome is made of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins that function like a spool and are called a histone octamer. <P> Histones are one of the specific proteins involved in cell division and cancer. Technically, the ball-like groups of histones are referred to as nucleosomes, but--for simplicity--the website will continue to refer to these groups as histones. <P> There are four types of histones found in chromatin: H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Two of each histone comprise a protein core, a nucleosome, which DNA wraps around twice. What results is a bead on a string model in which the nucleosomes are the beads and the linker DNA binds them together. Another characteristic of histones are the protein tails that extend outward from the bead.. The tails and the degree of their acetylation is an important factor in gene expression. <P> Histones are alkaline (basic pH) proteins. They are found inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Their purpose is to package DNA into structural units called nucleosomes. They are the main proteins in chromatin (a combination of DNA and protein), which makes up the contents of a cell nucleus. H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 are the core histones, and H1 and H5 are the linker histones. The core histones form the center of the nucleosome, hence the term 'core'. The linker histones are found at the entrance and exit sites of the nucleosome and lock the DNA in place, hence the term 'linker'. <P> Histones are a family of basic proteins that associate with DNA in the nucleus and help condense it into chromatin. Nuclear DNA does not appear in free linear strands; it is highly condensed and wrapped around histones in order to fit inside of the nucleus and take part in the formation of chromosomes. Under the microscope in its extended form, chromatin looks like beads on a string. The beads are called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome is made of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins that function like a spool and are called a histone octamer. <P> Each histone octamer is composed of two copies each of the histone proteins H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Under the microscope in its extended form, chromatin looks like beads on a string. The beads are called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome is made of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins that function like a spool and are called a histone octamer. <P> Histone acetylation and deacetylation are the processes by which the lysine residues within the N-terminal tail protruding from the histone core of the nucleosome are acetylated and deacetylated as part of gene regulation. Histone acetylation and deacetylation are essential parts of gene regulation. <P> Types of histones. Each octamer has two pairs of different histone proteins: H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. They are arranged as a pair of H2A-H2B dimers, and an (H3)2(H4)2 tetramer. There is an additional type of histone, the linker histone H1, which is present in condensed DNA. 1 The C-terminal end is primarily responsible for histone-DNA and histone-histone interactions; 2 The N-terminal consists of a charged, flexible tail which in histones H2B and H3 bury into the minor grooves of DNA, probably to stabilise the interaction. <P> Medical Definition of HISTONE. : any of various simple water-soluble proteins that are rich in the basic amino acids lysine and arginine and are complexed with DNA in the nucleosomes of eukaryotic chromatin.

what are squamous epithelial cells
|
<P> 1 A stratified squamous epithelium is quite thick, with squamous cells on the surface overlying deeper layers of taller cells. 2 Cuboidal describes cells that are rather box-shaped, not flattened. 3 Cuboidal epithelial cells typically appear square or rectangular in cross section, with a round, centrally placed nucleus. 1 Stratified signifies two or more layers of epithelial cells. 2 By convention, a stratified epithelium is described according to the shape of cells on its free surface. 3 Regardless of whether the surface cells are squamous, cuboidal, or columnar, the underlying cells are usually cuboidal. <P> Epithelial cells in urine. Epithelial tissues or cells are one of the most important cells found in the human body. The skin is made up of epithelial tissues. Additionally, most of the organs and the openings in the inner body are lined with epithelial cells. High amount of squamous epithelial cells in urine. When the renal tubular epithelial cells in urine are detected via a urinalysis, then it may point to a serious condition of the kidneys. This is especially the case, when they are found in large numbers. <P> Squamous epithelial cells are flat and are usually found lining surfaces that require a smooth flow of fluid such as your blood vessels, or lining areas that require a very thin surface for molecules to pass through, such as the air sacs in your lungs. <P> There are three different types of epithelial cells that line the urinary tract. This includes the cells lining the ureters, urinary bladder, and the urethra. These are transitional epithelial cells, renal tubular cells, and squamous epithelial cells. Transitional epithelial cells are those cells that consist of multiple layers of epithelial cells. These are usually found throughout the length of the urinary tract. Renal tubular cells are the other type of epithelial cells that may be present in urine. Squamous Cells and Urinalysis. The simple logic behind this is that the epithelium that actually lines the entire urinary tract is mostly columnar in nature. In contrast, the epithelial cells seen on the skin are squamous epithelial cells, that is, they are large and flat. Hence, the presence of columnar epithelial cells in the urine indicates the presence of a pathological condition associated with the kidneys or some other part of the urinary tract <P> Epithelial Cells in Urine. The epithelia cells are simply cells that are gotten from the epithelium, which is the lining found in and outside the body. These cells are produced often, and old cells shed away to give room for the new cells. Different parts of the human body have distinctive epithelial cells. 1 In older women, immature and small epithelial cells from the vagina (parabasal squamous epithelial cells) can be present in urine samples. 2 This is common in post menopause women with low estrogen levels. 3 Also, transitional cells found in urine are quite uncommon and mostly found in elderly people. <P> In anatomy, squamous epithelium (squama- + -ous) is that whose outermost (apical) layer consists of thin, flat cells called squamous epithelial cells. Squamous epithelial tissue regenerates readily; it turns over (replaces old cells with new ones) every few weeks. The cells of the basal reserve only divide while replacing cells directly above. The cells that are produced by the basal layer are called parabasal transit amplifying (TA) cells. <P> Not worrisome: Squamous cells in urine could be contamination from genitalia's squamous epithelium mucosa or from trigone area of urinary bladder (female). Not worrisome. We are talking about benign squamous cells. <P> The basal layer of epithelial cells are small and cuboidal-to-columnar; the cells gradually become larger and more squamous as the cells migrate from the basal layer to the apical layer. Stratified squamous epithelia are specialized to withstand the mechanical stresses of abrasion. A stratified squamous epithelium consists of more than one (typically many) layers, or strata, of epithelial cells (see figure).

resting heart rate should be
|
<P> A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute. To measure your heart rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. <P> Resting heart rate, or pulse, refers to the number of times your heart beats per minute when you are at rest. Though a normal range is 50 to 100, most people’s hearts beat 60 to 80 times a minute. Above 100 is considered a rapid pulse, called tachycardia; an unusually slow resting heart rate is called bradycardia. If your resting heart rate is at the high end of the normal range, and especially if it is over 100, you should talk to your doctor about your overall health and your other risk factors for heart disease. If you have a heart condition, you may already be on medication that lowers your heart rate. <P> Consult your doctor if your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats a minute (tachycardia) or if you're not a trained athlete and your resting heart rate is below 60 beats a minute (bradycardia) — especially if you have other signs or symptoms, such as fainting, dizziness or shortness of breath. With. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute. To measure your heart rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. <P> For athletes-or people who often perform cardiovascular activity - a normal resting heart rate may be closer to 40 beats a minute. If your your heart rate is continuously above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm you should consult a doctor. During exercise, you should shoot for between 40-60% of your heart rate max which is generally estimated by subtracting your age from 220. Example a 20 year old (220-20=200) would have a max heart rate of 200. You should be careful when starting exercise not to get your heart rate too close to max. <P> Normal resting heart rates range anywhere from 40 beats per minute up to 100 beats per minute. Ideally you want to have a resting heart rate between 60-90 beats per minute. The average resting heart rate for a man is 70 beats per minute, and for a woman 75 beats per minute. As you get fitter, your resting heart rate should decrease. This is due to the heart getting more efficient at pumping blood around the body, so at rest more blood can be pumped around with each beat, therefore less beats per minute are needed. <P> Remember to take your resting heart rate over at least 3 days so that you can get an average reading. For example if on day one you record 72 bpm (beats per minute) day two you record 78 bpm and on day three you record 72 bpm, then your average is 74 bpm. Young children, under 10, have a resting heart rate range from 70 to 120 beats per minute. Adults generally have a resting heart rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute. Resting heart rate is an approximate measurement and one of many tools used for testing your health. <P> Your resting heart rate should be between 60-100 beats per minute. If you are an athlete or train a lot, your resting heart rate could be lower. That is an average. Resting heart rate above 150 is tachycardia (fast). During exercise, you should shoot for between 40-60% of your heart rate max which is generally estimated by subtracting your age from 220. Example a 20 year old (220-20=200) would have a max heart rate of 200. You should be careful when starting exercise not to get your heart rate too close to max. <P> Dear Brett, A heart rate of 38 beats per minute (bpm) can be normal in a well-trained endurance runner at age 60. The heart rate normally lowers at rest. And distance running over four years could cause a reduction in resting heart rate from 60 bpm to 38 bpm. My resting heart rate used to be 60 bpm (beats per minute). Last year in my prime shape after running four marathons in four months, I had a resting heart rate of 38 bpm. That is when I am sitting watching TV. It could be lower when I am sleeping, but I have not tested this yet <P> Most adults have a resting heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). The fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For example, athletes may have a resting heart rate of 40-60 bpm or lower. You should contact your GP if you think your heart rate is continuously above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm, although this could just be normal for you.

There are muscles and substructures with each of the associated structures, but in very simple ter … ms, it's the palate. 4 people found this useful. <P> nasal cavity is separated from the oral cavity by the palatine processes of maxilla and the palatine bone(hard palate). <P> In most fish, there is no connection between the nasal cavity and the oral cavity. This is true of lampreys, most cartilaginous fish, and virtually all actinopterygians. There are a few exceptions. For example, in hagfish, a nasopharyngeal pouch (present in lampreys) communicates with the pharynx. <P> The nose is the organ with which we breathe air in. The nasal cavity is the are inside the nose, separated from the oral cavity (the area inside the mouth) by the nasal spine. The purpose of the nasal cavity is to deliver cleaned, moistened, and warmed air to the pharynx (throat). The cavity is lined with mucous that has tiny hairs on it. <P> The h ard palate is found anteriorly. It is a bony plate that separates the nasal cavity from the oral cavity. It is covered superiorly by respiratory mucosa (psuedostratifed squamous epithelium) and inferiorly by oral mucosa (stratified squamous epithelium). <P> The nasal cavity is located above the mouth and is separated from the mouth by the hard and soft palate. Within the oral cavity is the tongue, teeth, tissue supporting the teeth (gums and bone), and salivary glands. The pharynx, or throat, is the region located behind the oral cavity.

doppler effect in light and measurement of speed
|
<P> This is the apparent change of wavelength (and frequency) of a wave from a source that is moving relative to an observer. You may have heard the Doppler effect in sound as a police car with its siren on. As the car comes towards you the pitch of the siren goes up, only to fall as it passes you and goes away. <P> The Doppler effect. We have seen that light always travels at the same speed of about 300,000 km/s; in particular light emitted by a sources in relative motion to an observer travels at this speed. Yet there is one effect on light which shows that its source is moving with respect to the observer: its color changes. <P> The relativistic Doppler effect is the change in frequency (and wavelength) of light, caused by the relative motion of the source and the observer (as in the classical Doppler effect), when taking into account effects described by the special theory of relativity. <P> His Doppler Effect is the shift in frequency and wavelength of waves which results from a source moving with respect to the medium, a receiver moving with respect to the medium, or even a moving medium. <P> The Doppler Effect for light is the change in the observed frequency or wavelength/color compared with that emitted from a moving source. Note: Typically, the observed frequency is measured in the Doppler Effect. However in same cases, the change in wavelength is measured. The source of light or electromagnetic radiation must travel at a high speed for the Doppler effect to cause an observable shift in the frequency and wavelength. Since the speed of light is much greater than the speed of the source, an approximate equation can be used to determine the shift of the radiation. The shift in wavelength is used in astronomy to tell when a distant galaxy or star is moving toward the Earth (blue-shift) or away (red-shift). <P> For waves that propagate in a medium, such as sound waves, the velocity of the observer and of the source are relative to the medium in which the waves are transmitted. The total Doppler effect may therefore result from motion of the source, motion of the observer, or motion of the medium. The Doppler effect with sound is only clearly heard with objects moving at high speed, as change in frequency of musical tone involves a speed of around 40 meters per second, and smaller changes in frequency can easily be confused by changes in the amplitude of the sounds from moving emitters. <P> The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift) is the change in frequency of a wave (or other periodic event) for an observer moving relative to its source. It is named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who proposed it in 1842 in Prague. The Doppler effect with sound is only clearly heard with objects moving at high speed, as change in frequency of musical tone involves a speed of around 40 meters per second, and smaller changes in frequency can easily be confused by changes in the amplitude of the sounds from moving emitters. <P> 1 Wavelength shift: = new-rest. rest is the wavelength measured if the object is at rest and new is the wavelength measured for the moving object. 2 Doppler effect: = rest × Vradial/c, where Vradial is the object's speed along the line of sight and c is the speed of light. 3 If new rest, the object is moving away (redshift). The doppler effect will not affect the overall color of an object unless it is moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light (VERY fast!). For an object moving toward us, the red colors will be shifted to the orange and the near-infrared will be shifted to the red, etc. <P> The Doppler effect for electromagnetic waves such as light is of great use in astronomy and results in either a so-called redshift or blueshift. It has been used to measure the speed at which stars and galaxies are approaching or receding from us; that is, their radial velocities. The Doppler effect with sound is only clearly heard with objects moving at high speed, as change in frequency of musical tone involves a speed of around 40 meters per second, and smaller changes in frequency can easily be confused by changes in the amplitude of the sounds from moving emitters.

where does cheetahs live
|
<P> The geographic area of the cheetah population is dwindling. Today they are mainly found in sub-Sahara Africa. Cheetahs mainly exist in Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania, and Northwestern Iran. These cats are now thought to be extinct in India and rare in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Russia. <P> Mainly in Africa but a few in Asia (not many!!!). Cheetah's grow in areas with large land where there is a lot of prey. Cheetahs are found in open and partially open savannas. A cheetahs habit is hunting animals. <P> The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a big cat in the subfamily Felinae that inhabits most of Africa and parts of Iran. It is the only extant member of the genus Acinonyx. The cheetah can run as fast as 109.4 to 120.7 km/h (68.0 to 75.0 mph), faster than any other land animal. <P> A cheetahs habit is hunting animals. caves in the middle of Africa Cheetahs usually live in savannah biomes which has plenty of land, water and shade. There must be vast amounts of prey such as zebra or gazelle that the cheetah can catch. Mainly in Africa but a few in Asia (not many!!!) Cheetah's grow in areas with large land where there is a lot of prey. Cheetahs are found in open and partial … ly open savannas. <P> Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) historically lived throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Southern Asia. However, most of the remaining wild cheetah populations are located in sub-Saharan Africa (south of the Saharan Desert) with some smaller populations in Northern Africa and one isolated population still living in Iran. <P> If your answer to Where do cheetahs live? is Africa, you're correct, or at least 95% correct. Most of these beautiful and extremely fast cats live in Africa, though a few have been reported in parts of the Middle East (Iran specifically) and Asia. Open Country Is Best-If the answer to where do cheetahs live seems to cover an excessive amount of acreage, one reason is that, once the cheetah has made a kill, it usually must dine on its prey right away before another competitor, such as a lion or hyena, comes along. The cheetah is not well equipped for fighting. <P> Cheetahs are mostly found in sub-Saharan Africa and in eastern and southern African parks. Some of the animals can still be found in southern Algeria, northern Niger and Iran. They like dry, open grasslands where they can pick up speed to kill prey. Cheetahs are carnivores, meaning their primary food is meat. The predators stick to smaller prey, such as gazelles, hares, young wildebeest, warthogs and birds. These cats were made for a dry lifestyle. They only need to drink water every three or four days. <P> Where Do Cheetahs Live in the World. There was a time when cheetah roamed all across Africa, Asia, North America, and Europe. Besides, they were fairly common in western and central India of the Ganges predating four hundred years ago. Although cheetahs are widely distributed throughout Africa, but the largest concentration occurs in the eastern and southern Africa specifically in Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and South West Africa. Around 300 to 500 cheetahs inhabit Sahara, principally in Niger, Chad, and Mali

Before Don Quixote long fiction came in verse form, like The Iliad, The Aeneid, and the medieval romances. Don Quixote is not just a novel, it is a picaresque novel. <P> In the same way, Don Quixote is not only a cautionary tale about the perils of idealism: among other things, it is also the first great book about books, a visionary parable about the responsibilities of reading and writing fiction that arrived early on in the age of printing. <P> Answered by Aslan. Don Quixote did not have many possibilities to read but he took advantage of everything he could find spending his entire fortune on volumes filled with the adventures of the greatest knights in the world. As a result Don Quixote lived like a child seeing things just the way children do when playing. A flock of sheep was a great army, some windmills were terrible giants. An ugly servant girl with not so great moral values was one of the noblest ladies.

what is average cost to paint a car
|
<P> The cost of a new paint job can vary dramatically from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Prices vary across the country and may fluctuate based on the type of paint used, the quality of the job, the number of paint layers required and the size of the vehicle. <P> 1 CostHelper readers report paying $1,000-$1,800 for a mid-quality paint job, at an average cost of $1,316; most are happy with the results. 2 A showroom-quality custom or specialty auto paint job can cost $2,500-$20,000 or more, depending on the make, model and condition of the vehicle, the location, and what is included. <P> Now the cost of the paint can range anywhere from $100 to $1,000, as you will need to apply several layers of the paint, if you want the paint last for long time. If you are looking for best brands in paints, then it can cost up to $6,000. <P> 1 Supplies can cost $100-$1,500, depending on the quality of paint ($100-$1,000) and the need to purchase tools like an automotive paint sprayer ($40-$600) or sander and sandpaper ($40-$250). 2 Mopar Muscle Magazine explains how to paint a car. <P> 1 Expect to pay $1,000-$3,500 for a more thorough paint job using higher-quality, brand-name paint, with costs varying depending on the make, model and condition of the vehicle (the amount of rust and number of dents or scratches), and whether any interior or engine-area painting is included. <P> The cost to repaint a car depends on other factors, such as repair work. If your car is in a condition where the mechanic needs to work on the body to bring it back to good condition, it could raise the cost of the repainting significantly. <P> Cost of Materials. There are different materials and equipment used in painting a car. The primary cost to focus on is the cost of car paint, the cost of the primer, and the cost of the clear coatings. These can set you back from about $200 for the cheapest quality to over $5,000 for top shelf products. However, the average costs range at between $1,000 and $1,500 for a decent job. <P> If you get your car repainted during special offers, then the average cost goes down by 20-30%.

percent recovery calculation
|
<P> Quick Answer. When purifying a substance in chemistry, use (collected mass/starting mass)*100 to calculate percent recovery. This formula is also commonly stated as (pure product recovered/crude material used)*100. <P> It is calculated as follows: % recovery =amount pure product recovered (g)amount of crude material used (g) x 100 Percent Yield: Percent yield is used is cases where a chemical transformation occurs. To calculate the % yield, you need the following information: 1. <P> Please see examples for a detailed explanation of this calculator. This calculator calculates for the percent recovery of the spike. The required values are as given in the table. The picture illustrates two cases where in one case no solvent make-up volume is used and the other case where solvent is used to make-up the volume to a pre-determined volume mark. <P> (CHE 276) Organic Chemistry Laboratory Appendix Totah rev. 8/2011 91 Calculating Percent Recovery & Percent Yield Percent Recovery: Percent recovery is used in cases where no chemical reaction is taking place, as in purification of a sample. <P> calculate the percent recovery for the analysis of a spike. the sample was spiked with 5.00 ml of a 200.0 mg/l solution. the sample matrix concentration was determined to be 30.0 mg/L. The sample matrix volume (excluding the spike) was 90.00 ml. The resulting spike sample concentration was 38.1 mg/l. <P> Mix with 25 mL of the TISAB II and analyze. 7. Calculate % Recovery. If the concentration of the spiked sample is found to be 2.24 mg/L %R = (2.24 mg/L spiked result – 1.22 mg/L unspiked result) = 102.0 %R 1 mg/L known spike added concentration (see note 1 below) 8.

types of fabric made from plants
|
<P> Answer 1: There are two main types of fabrics: natural and synthetic. Natural fabrics such as wool, cotton, silk, and linen are made from animal coats,cotton-plant seed pods, fibers from silkworms, and flax (fiber from the stalk of a plant), respectively. Synthetic fabrics such as nylon,spandex, rayon, polyester, and acrylic are man-made. <P> Marijuana is from the dried flowers and leaves of the Cannabis Sativa plant. Hemp fabric is made from the stems of the plant. The stems are processed to dissolve the gum or pectin and separate the fibers which are then processed again and woven into yarns and fabric. The finest hemp for fabric is produced in Italy. Hemp fabric is like linen in both hand and appearance. <P> Please feel free to call us if you have any questions regarding your dye project. Fiber Reactive Dyes: Reactive dyes are the absolute best type of dyes made for fabrics or fibers made from plant materials. Plant materials means anything made from a plant including; Cotton, Linen, Rayon, Hemp, Bamboo, Paper, Jute, etc. The dyes also work well on silk. These dyes are not made for nylon or wool, and they don't work at all on polyester. <P> Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the family of Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions, the cotton bolls will tend to increase the dispersal of the seeds. <P> Silk is an animal textile made from the fibres of the cocoon of the Chinese silkworm which is spun into a smooth fabric prized for its softness. There are two main types of the silk: 'mulberry silk' produced by the Bombyx Mori, and 'wild silk' such as Tussah silk. Other animal textiles which are made from hair or fur are alpaca wool, vicuna vicuña, wool llama, wool and camel, hair generally used in the production of, coats, jackets, ponchos, blankets and other warm. Coverings angora refers to the, long, thick soft hair of the angora. Rabbit qiviut is the fine inner wool of the. muskox <P> Textiles can be made from many materials. These materials come from four main sources: animal (wool, silk), plant (cotton, flax, jute), mineral (asbestos, glass fibre), and synthetic (nylon, polyester, acrylic). In the past, all textiles were made from natural fibres, including plant, animal, and mineral sources. Other animal textiles which are made from hair or fur are alpaca wool, vicuna vicuña, wool llama, wool and camel, hair generally used in the production of, coats, jackets, ponchos, blankets and other warm. Coverings angora refers to the, long, thick soft hair of the angora. Rabbit qiviut is the fine inner wool of the. muskox <P> Bamboo fabric is a natural textile made from the pulp of the bamboo grass. Bamboo fabric has been growing in popularity because it has many unique properties and is more sustainable than most textile fibers. Bamboo fabric is light and strong, has excellent wicking properties, and is to some extent antibacterial. <P> There are innumerable types of fabrics made from natural and synthetic fibers. Natural fibers are obtained from nature such as plants, animals and minerals while synthetic ones are man-made fibers created by chemical processes. However, wearing fabrics made of natural fiber is still way better than those made from synthetic fibers. The common types of natural fabrics are cotton, linen, wool and silk. Cotton fabric is made from the fiber of plant. It is widely used as clothing since it is strong, hygienic, wear resistant, has cool fiber and comfortable. It can be washed many times without worrying that it will shrink. The downside of cotton is that it lacks elasticity causing it to wrinkle easily <P> Linen is a plant fiber made from the stalk of the flax plant. It is one of the earliest fibers to be made into string and cloth and is the strongest of the vegetable fibers, with 2 to 3 times the strength of cotton. Like cotton, linen takes to dyes easily and can be boiled without damaging the fiber. Cotton is a soft fiber that grows around the seeds of the cotton plant. Cool, soft and comfortable, cotton is presently the world's most used fiber. Every part of the cotton plant is useful and we see its application in industries such as apparel, home furnishings, medical and surgical, automobile, etc.

where does carbon fixation occur in the chloroplast
|
<P> It is one of the light-independent reactions used for carbon fixation. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages in a cell. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the energy-storage and transport molecules ATP and NADPH. There are three phases to the light-independent reactions, collectively called the Calvin cycle: carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration. Despite its name, this process occurs only when light is available. Plants do not carry out the Calvin cycle by night. <P> Carbon fixation or сarbon assimilation refers to the conversion process of inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) to organic compounds by living organisms. The most prominent example is photosynthesis, although chemosynthesis is another form of carbon fixation that can take place in the absence of sunlight. In photosynthesis, energy from sunlight drives the carbon fixation pathway. Oxygenic photosynthesis is used by the primary producers —plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. They contain the pigment chlorophyll, and use the Calvin cycle to fix carbon autotrophically. <P> In C4 plants the photosynthesis takes place in a chloroplast of a thin-walled mesophyll cell and a 4-carbon acid is handed off to a thick-walled bundle sheath cell where the Calvin cycle occurs in a chloroplast of that second cell. This protects the Calvin cycle from the effects of photorespiration. In CAM plants the photosynthesis and initial carbon fixation occur at night and a 4-carbon acid is stored in the cell's vacuole. During the day, the Calvin cycle operates in the same chloroplasts. <P> Carbon fixation (The Calvin Cycle). Carbon fixation stage in photosynthesis. The carbon fixation stage occurs in the stroma and results in the production of glucose [glucose: a simple sugar made by the body from food, which is used by cells to make energy in respiration] . <P> Making the world better, one answer at a time. Carbon fixation takes place during the Light Independent reaction of photosynthesis. During a step in this process The inorganic CO2 is fixed to a 6C compound which is unstable and then breaks down to a 3C molecule known as GP. The carbon fixation, and in general de the light independent stage takes place in the stroma because it is were all the enzymes are found i.e. ruBISCO. <P> The fact that this 3-carbon molecule is the first stable product of photosynthesis leads to the practice of calling this cycle the C 3 cycle. In C3 plants the photosynthesis, carbon fixation and Calvin cycle all occur in a single chloroplast. In CAM plants the photosynthesis and initial carbon fixation occur at night and a 4-carbon acid is stored in the cell's vacuole. During the day, the Calvin cycle operates in the same chloroplasts. <P> Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions or light reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH. During the second stage, the light-independent reactions use these products to capture and reduce carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is converted into sugars in a process called carbon fixation. Carbon fixation is an endothermic redox reaction, so photosynthesis needs to supply both a source of energy to drive this process, and the electrons needed to convert carbon dioxide into a carbohydrate. <P> Carbon fixation is the process by which inorganic carbon is added to an organic molecule. Carbon fixation occurs during the light independent reaction of photosynthesis and is the first step in the C3 or Calvin Cycle. In this lesson you will discover what carbon fixation means, when it occurs and what enzyme is involved. The lesson will discuss where the process of carbon fixation falls in photosynthesis as well as give a brief idea of a process by which carbon can be freed from fixation. <P> C3 Photosynthesis. Plants which use only the Calvin cycle for fixing the carbon dioxide from the air are known as C3 plants. In the first step of the cycle CO 2 reacts with RuBP to produce two 3-carbon molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA). <P> The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. These reactions occur in the stroma, the fluid-filled area of a chloroplast outside of the thylakoid membranes. There are three phases to the light-independent reactions, collectively called the Calvin cycle: carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration. Despite its name, this process occurs only when light is available. Plants do not carry out the Calvin cycle by night.

what does haemolysed mean
|
<P> Experience and proper technique are key for any phlebotomist or nurse to prevent hemolysis. In vitro hemolysis during specimen collection can cause inaccurate laboratory test results by contaminating the surrounding plasma with the contents of hemolyzed red blood cells. <P> 4. The blood sample is shaken. Just the simple act of vigorously shaking the blood sample is enough to cause the destruction of the red blood cells that it contains. Laboratory procedures may also cause a hemolyzed blood test. This tends to happen when a anticoagulated blood sample is run through a centrifuge. Most of the time, a hemolyzed blood test occurs because of a provider not following best practices while taking the blood draw. The most common reason for this test result is the presence of too great a vacuum in the vein when the needle is inserted. <P> Answers. Best Answer: You don't say what blood test was run and what your health history is. Go here for the definition of hemolysis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolysis It could be anything from prior surgery to collection method. They will probably do a repeat. <P> Report Abuse. Degraded means your sample was Hemolyzed. It is very common and simply means you need to repeat the sample. Your liver enzymes (ALT, AST etc) cannot be accurately read from a hemolyzed sample. ----------------------- In general, grossly or even moderately hemolyzed blood specimens may not be acceptable for testing <P> Red blood cells without (left and middle) and with (right) hemolysis. If as little as 0.5% of the red blood cells are hemolyzed, the released hemoglobin will cause the serum or plasma to appear pale red or cherry red in color. In vitro hemolysis during specimen collection can cause inaccurate laboratory test results by contaminating the surrounding plasma with the contents of hemolyzed red blood cells. <P> Hemolysis, also spelled haemolysis (from the Greek αἷμα (aima, haema, hemo-) meaning blood and λύσις (lusis, lysis, -lysis) meaning a loosing, setting free or releasing), is the rupturing of erythrocytes (red blood cells) and the release of their contents (cytoplasm) into surrounding fluid (e.g. blood plasma). In vitro hemolysis during specimen collection can cause inaccurate laboratory test results by contaminating the surrounding plasma with the contents of hemolyzed red blood cells. <P> Hemolysis: The destruction of red blood cells which leads to the release of hemoglobin from within the red blood cells into the blood plasma. The word hemolysis is made up of hemo-, blood + lysis , the disintegration of cells. <P> 1 Beta-hemolytic species, including S. pyogenes and S. agalactiae, completely rupture the red blood cells (visible as a halo in culture). 2 Gamma-hemolytic, or non-hemolytic, species do not cause hemolysis and rarely cause illness. In vitro hemolysis during specimen collection can cause inaccurate laboratory test results by contaminating the surrounding plasma with the contents of hemolyzed red blood cells. <P> Hemolyzed. Having been subjected to a process that has broken open red blood cells and released hemoglobin into the surrounding fluid. <P> Hemolysis refers to the destruction of red blood cells which leads to the release of haemoglobin from within the cells. Hemolysis affects specimen quality and, consequently, can affect the results for certain laboratory tests. Site personnel can prevent hemolysis by avoiding the circumstances that can cause it. These include: Too great a vacuum in the vein, causing the red cells to be drawn toward the bore of the needle too quickly. 1 Make note of the Visit Type in the Visit Type section of the requisition (e.g. Visit 3 or Repeat of Week 9). 2 Use the checkboxes in the Test section of the requisition to indicate the test(s) to be performed based on the study-specific testing for the subject’s actual visit.

what is an amniocentesis
|
<P> 1 Amniocentesis can also be used to determine the maturity of the lungs of the fetus or the cause of unknown fever in the mother. 2 For genetic testing, chromosome analysis, and the evaluation of an abnormal alpha feto-protein test, amniocentesis is usually performed between the 16th and 21st weeks of pregnancy. Amniocentesis is a procedure whereby a sample of fluid is removed from the amniotic sac for analysis. The amniotic sac is in the uterine cavity. The amniotic sac is the fluid-filled structure inside a pregnant woman's uterus within which the baby lives. Fetal cells, proteins, and fetal urine freely move within this sac. <P> Amniocentesis is a prenatal test that allows your healthcare practitioner to gather information about your baby's health from a sample of your amniotic fluid. This is the fluid that surrounds your baby in the uterus. <P> Amniocentesis. Amniocentesis is a procedure in which amniotic fluid is removed from the uterus for testing or treatment. Amniotic fluid is the fluid that surrounds and protects a baby during pregnancy. This fluid contains fetal cells and various chemicals produced by the baby <P> email. Knowledge center. Amniocentesis, also known as Amniotic Fluid Test is a test that detects chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. A sample of amniotic fluid is taken from the amniotic sac (amnion) surrounding the unborn baby and its DNA is examined for genetic abnormalities. Amniocentesis is increasingly used for the management of early rupture of the membranes during pregnancy-certain amniotic fluid inflammatory markers, such as amniotic fluid IL-6, can help the doctor decide whether to deliver the baby early. Amniocentesis is usually done during the 15th week of pregnancy. <P> Definition. Amniocentesis is a procedure used to diagnose fetal defects in the early second trimester of pregnancy. A sample of the amniotic fluid, which surrounds a fetus in the womb, is collected through a pregnant woman's abdomen using a needle and syringe. <P> The most common reason to have an amnio is to determine whether a baby has certain genetic disorders or a chromosomal abnormality, such as Down syndrome. Amniocentesis (or another procedure, called chorionic villus sampling (CVS)) can diagnose these problems in the womb. <P> Amniocentesis. Amniocentesis is a diagnostic test that may be recommended by your health care provider following an abnormal triple test result. Inherited or genetic concerns lead some parents to choose amniocentesis to determine if specific genetic disorders may be present in their baby. <P> Amniocentesis is a procedure used to obtain a small sample of the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus during pregnancy. Amniotic fluid is a clear, pale yellow fluid made by the fetus. The fluid protects the fetus from injury and helps to regulate the temperature of the fetus. <P> Amniocentesis is a prenatal test in which a small amount of amniotic fluid is removed from the sac surrounding the fetus for testing. Because ultrasound is performed at the time of amniocentesis, it may detect birth defects that are not detected by amniocentesis (such as cleft palate, cleft lip, club foot, or heart defects). There are some birth defects, however, that will not be detected by either amniocentesis or ultrasound.

what is vitafiber syrup
|
<P> Hi Marcos, I’ve tried to replace 2 tbsp of VitaFiber syrup with 2 tbsp of VitaFiber powder mixed with 1 tbsp water but the protein bar I got wasn’t firm enough. I guess you’d have to add a bit of coconut flour for extra texture in that case. I’ve done some Quest bar recipes using IMO-syrup but I hadn’t quite experimented with IMO-powder enough yet. BioNeutra kindly sent me some new packages of VitaFiber for me to come up with recipes. <P> A LITTLE BIT MORE... VitaFiber (IMO-isomalto-oligosaccharide) is a low calorie sweetener which is the SECRET ingredient in many popular protein bars-including Quest Bars! VitaFiber (IMO) now available in the UK! <P> VitaFiber™ is available as a syrup or powder. On a dry basis, VitaFiber™ is greater than 90% soluble fiber. Based on published studies, the caloric value of VitaFiber™ is 1.5 kcal/g. All VitaFiber™ products are Kosher and Halal. <P> Sukrin Fiber Syrup Gold is a natural origin low calorie and low carb alternative to honey and syrup with the sweetness, flavor and taste of molasses/syrup. Sukrin Fiber Syrup Gold is suitable for: Sukrin Fiber Syrup has NO added sugar. On the contrary, yeast is added to the manufacturing process to remove glucose that may be formed as a result of the enzymatic hydrolysis reactions. The table below shows the sugar contents in comparable liquid sweeteners: <P> – 2 tbsp VitaFiber syrup. – 1/4 cup protein powder (I used a chocolate egg white protein powder). – 1 tsp cocoa. – 1 tsp vanilla extract. The nutrition facts for this homemade bar: 166.4 kcal, 23.3 g of protein, 25.8 g of carbs, 0.6 g of sugar, 0.6 g of fat, 22.1 g of fiber. A jar of 1 kg of VitaFiber syrup is about 900 ml, which is equivalent to 30 US oz. If you’re using 2 tbsp per bar and if 2 tbsp = 1 oz, you’ll be able to make 30 bars. <P> Like in the original recipe using syrup, I’ve put this mix (2 tbsp powder + 1 tbsp water) in a small pan and heated it up just until small bubbles started appearing. The bar was ok but a little bit too moist to be firm enough. So it works but maybe you have to put only half a tbps of water for 2 tbsp powder. I’ve done some Quest bar recipes using IMO-syrup but I hadn’t quite experimented with IMO-powder enough yet. BioNeutra kindly sent me some new packages of VitaFiber for me to come up with recipes. <P> VitaFiber™ Powder is widely known as a high fibre powder which is a perfect sugar/flour substitute used in baking. VitaFiber™ Powder is derived from non GMO Corn-starch which is naturally sweet, approximately 60% as sweet of sugar. VitaFiber™ Powder is a mixture of short-chain carbohydrates made of glucose molecules which are linked with each other through a digestion resistant bonding. <P> – 1/4 cup vanilla protein (any type of protein you like). – 2 tbsp VitaFiber syrup. – 1 tsp cashew butter (or any other nut butter). – 2 walnuts. – a few drops of banana and caramel flavorings. Nutrition facts for the Banana Nut Muffin bar: 237 kcal, 24.9 g protein, 26.8 g carbs, 0.3 g sugar, 7.6 g fat, 22.3 g fiber. A jar of 1 kg of VitaFiber syrup is about 900 ml, which is equivalent to 30 US oz. If you’re using 2 tbsp per bar and if 2 tbsp = 1 oz, you’ll be able to make 30 bars. <P> BioNeutra Inc. VitaFiber™ Basic (Syrup) is a mixture of short-chain carbohydrates made of glucose molecules which are linked with each other through a digestion resistant bonding. VitaFiber™ Basic (Syrup) is a high quality, high-purity isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO), made from enzymatic conversion of starch. VitaFiber™ Basic (Syrup) appears as a transparent clear or pale yellow colored high density syrup. It functions as a dietary fiber, prebiotic, and low-calorie sweetener. VitaFiber™ Basic (Syrup) has a relative sweetness equal to ~60% of sucrose.

what zone is tottenham hale
|
<P> Mayor of London Boris Johnson introduced the housing zones initiative in June and Tottenham Hale was earmarked as one of five 'frontrunners' for housing zone status in the bid prospectus (34-page / 1.2 MB PDF). The GLA intends to designate a total of 20 housing zones with relaxed planning restrictions across London. According to a statement released by the Council yesterday, housing zone designation is expected to help provide a new town centre with nearly 5,500 homes in Tottenham Hale by 2025. <P> Tottenham Hale (IATA: TTK), is a National Rail and London Underground Victoria Line station in Tottenham, north London. It is on Hale Road near the Tottenham Hale one-way system. The station is in Travelcard Zone 3. <P> The Tottenham Housing Zone covers the same area as the Tottenham AAP, making it one of the larger zones at 560ha. However, in its first phase, it is Tottenham Hale at the southern edge of the zone which will be the focus. By providing money to carry out critical improvements to transport, accessibility and public realm, the zone will enable housing developments which depend on this infrastructure. Haringey was allocated £44m of funding to deliver 1,956 homes in Tottenham Hale, 560 (29%) of which will be available below market rates. <P> Tottenham Hale is the commercial heart of Tottenham and a key area for growth and regeneration. Tottenham Hale is located within the Upper Lea Valley Opportunity Area, where there are plans for the creation of 15,000 new jobs and 20,100 new homes. At Tottenham Hale there is the capacity for 5,000 new homes and 4,000 new jobs and the vision is to transform the area in to a new district centre. Tottenham Hale station will be a focal point of this new district centre and should be an iconic gateway to Tottenham and the Upper Lea Valley. Tottenham Hale as part of the Upper Lea Valley regeneration plans, has been identified for 5,000 new homes and 4,000 new jobs with the vision to transform the area in to a new district centre. Significant transport investment is the focus. This includes: 1 Removal of the Tottenham Hale gyratory system <P> Tottenham Hale is a National Rail and London Underground Victoria line station in Tottenham, north London. It is on Ferry Lane, with access from Watermead Way. The station is in Travelcard Zone 3. In the late 1990s, at the same time as the Stansted Express service to Stansted Airport was started, the British Rail station at Tottenham Hale was totally rebuilt along with a revamp of the Underground station. None of the original Victorian station now exists. <P> Plans to give affordable house-building in Tottenham Hale a boost have taken a step forward after Haringey Council submitted its bid for the area to become a dedicated Housing Zone. Our Housing Zone bid could bring together landowners to get things moving and get spades in the ground quicker than would otherwise be possible, easing the pressure on our residents struggling to save for a deposit or find an affordable place to live. <P> Haringey bids for housing zone status for Tottenham Hale. Haringey Council has submitted a bid to the Greater London Authority (GLA) for the Tottenham Hale area to be designated as a housing zone under an initiative introduced by the mayor of London in June. 09 Sep 2014. 1 Planning. According to a statement released by the Council yesterday, housing zone designation is expected to help provide a new town centre with nearly 5,500 homes in Tottenham Hale by 2025. <P> Haringey’s bid was in the first group of Housing Zones to be confirmed in February 2015. Located next to the River Lee, Tottenham Hale is the industrial area of Tottenham, and contains Tottenham Hale rail and bus interchange, a retail park, and light industrial warehouses. By providing money to carry out critical improvements to transport, accessibility and public realm, the zone will enable housing developments which depend on this infrastructure. Haringey was allocated £44m of funding to deliver 1,956 homes in Tottenham Hale, 560 (29%) of which will be available below market rates. <P> The Housing Zone would mean an extra 1,700 homes could be built at Tottenham Hale than is otherwise viable, with £28million in infrastructure funding unlocking brownfield sites and creating first-class public spaces. Our Housing Zone bid could bring together landowners to get things moving and get spades in the ground quicker than would otherwise be possible, easing the pressure on our residents struggling to save for a deposit or find an affordable place to live.

I was planning to review the medical history of trepanation a few weeks ago, but was dragging my heels on the necessary research. But after a time I realized a hole in the spine would heal over so it had to be in the skull, where holes stay open. Trepanation, or trephination (both derived from the Greek word trypanon, meaning “to bore”) is perhaps the oldest form of neurosurgery. <P> What to do: 1 X ray the finger to rule out an underlying fracture of the distal phalanx and test for a possible avulsion of the extensor tendon. 2 Paint the nail with 10% povidone iodine (Betadine) solution. 3 Adhere to universal blood and bodily-fluid precautions (blood is under pressure and may spurt out). 1 If there is an underlying fracture, instruct the patient to keep his finger as dry as possible for the next ten days and return immediately at the first sign of infection. 2 A protective aluminum finger tip splint may also be comforting, especially if the bone is fractured. <P> The Good Old Days. Trephination (or trepanation) is an operation performed since Stone Age times (though far less frequently these days) in which a circular section of the skull is carved away, leaving a hole in the skull. Modern Day Trephination. Even trephination gets its 15 minutes of fame these days. A TV documentary show (20/20) aired a segment on February 10, 2000, about the modern practice of trepanation.

what is semolina wheat
|
<P> Semolina from Durum Wheat. Semolina from durum wheat or similar hard wheat is called semolina flour and is usually yellow in color. This is what you should use to make desserts containing semolina flour. It is a finer grain than Cream of Wheat, but it still produces a gritty dessert with almost a cornbread-like texture. <P> A cream-colored semolina is used in pasta or Italian-style breads. There are difference grades: (1) Semolina flour is finely ground endosperm of durum wheat; (2) Semolina meal is a coarsely ground cereal like farina; and (3) Wheatina is ground whole-grain wheat. When hard wheat is ground, the endosperm--the floury part of the grain--is cracked into its two parts, the surrounding aleurone with its proteins and mineral salts and the central floury mass, also called the endosperm, which contains the gluten protein that gives hard wheat its unique properties for making good pasta. <P> Commercially produced dry pasta, or pasta secca, is made almost exclusively from durum semolina. Most home made fresh pastas (pasta fresca), such as orecchiette, cavatelli, and malloreddus, also use durum wheat or a combination of soft and hard wheats. When durum is milled, the endosperm is ground into a granular product called semolina. Semolina made from durum is used for premium pastas and breads. There is also a red durum, used mostly for livestock feed. <P> Details. Semolina, made from the finest durum wheat, is commonly used to make pasta, but it also makes a magnificent loaf of bread. Now you can make noodles, lasagna, fettuccini and other pastas with the same flour professionals use! <P> Semolina made from durum wheat is yellow in color. Semolina is often used as the base for dried products such as couscous, which is made by mixing roughly 2 parts semolina with 1 part durum flour (finely ground semolina). Boiled semolina turns into a porridge, known in some areas as Cream of Wheat. In Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Slovenia, Romania and Croatia, semolina is known as Griess (grieß a word related to ) grits and is mixed with egg to Make, griessknoedel grießknödel which can be added. to soup <P> Semolina is the coarse, purified wheat middlings of durum wheat used in making pasta, breakfast cereals, puddings, and couscous. The term semolina is also used to designate coarse middlings from other varieties of wheat, and from other grains, such as rice and maize.

It can also be used to make pizza, bread and biscuit doughs as well as gnocchi. The term also refers to a British milk pudding, in which semolina is cooked slowly in milk and sweetened with sugar. <P> Semolina Semolina is the coarsely ground endosperm of durum wheat. high in protein, it is used by American and Italian manufacturers to make high quality pasta products such as macaroni and spaghetti. It is also used for couscous in Africa and Latin America. Durham and semolina are one and the same. Semolina is the coarse grind and durham is the fine or flour grind. It is an lighter more airy wheat when ground fine. Semolina is the original used in the making of Polenta before corn took over.

is what we see when closing eyes the same as colour black
|
<P> As you settle into bed at night, close your eyes and begin to doze off, you may notice the colorful light show happening inside your eyelids. When you rub the sleep from your weary eyes, the lights suddenly intensify and bursts of bright colors appear all across your field of vision. <P> That's why some people say their eyes change colors when they're angry or loving. Eye color also can change with age. This happens in 10 to 15 percent of the Caucasian population (people who generally have lighter eye colors). For instance, my once very brown eyes are now hazel, a combination of brown and green. <P> All I see when I close my eyes are colors! Mostly it's orange, purple, green and blue...but I can't ever get rid of them to see a clear, true-color picture in my mind's eye. I never thought about it before, i just thought that everyone saw them the same way. <P> The colours you see may not always be the same as the colours someone else sees… as we see colour through our brains, not our eyes. Neuroscientist Beau Lotto explains. Colour is one of our simplest sensations… even jellyfish detect light and they do not have a brain. <P> As such some of what we see is just the brains interpretation of sensations from the eye structure and the pressure applied to it. Try rubbing your closed eyes and you will see what I mean. Always remember that the number one job of the brain is pattern recognition. <P> 1 Retina: getting its name from the Latin meaning net, the retina is located at the back of the eye and is where light is detected... 2 more. 3 Trillion: 1,000,000,000,000. 4 Wavelength: a property of photons that determines their energy (how strong they are).We see photons of different wavelengths as different colors. <P> Depending on what specific conditions are. Some of the color we see when we close our eyes is light that gets thru the eye lid. It usually has a red componenet to it because of the blood veins. Sone, especially right after closing our eyes is the various elements in our visual system settling down (rods, cones, ...). <P> Posted. Freethinker: Some of the color we see when we close our eyes is light that gets thru the eye lid. It usually has a red componenet to it because of the blood veins. <P> Rods are used to see in very dim light and only show the world to us in black and white. This is why you see only black and white when you are outside in the evening or in a dimly lit room. The other type of photoreceptors, the cones, allow us to see colors. They are not as sensitive as the rods so they only work in bright light. There are three types of cones, one for each of the three main colors we see, red, green and blue.

what kind of material is quartz
|
<P> At least this is my interpretation... Those crystals found in quartz rocks are exactly the kind visible with naked eyes. Many crystalline grains in so many micro-crystalline materials are (sadly enough) invisible. Let us first see what the definition of quartz is. In short, QUARTZ=SILICA. Because, quartz is nothing but silica, we are talking about a type of mineral with chemical composition -- SiO 2 ... So if you have looked for a simple straightforward answer, here it is: Quartz is made of Silicon Si and oxygen O. But not everything is so simple... Follow on.. <P> Milk quartz or milky quartz is the most common variety of crystalline quartz. The white color is caused by minute fluid inclusions of gas, liquid, or both, trapped during crystal formation, making it of little value for optical and quality gemstone applications. Additionally, there is a rare type of pink quartz (also frequently called crystalline rose quartz) with color that is thought to be caused by trace amounts of phosphate or aluminium. The color in crystals is apparently photosensitive and subject to fading. <P> 1 The mineral of which quartz is made is called silica, with the above composition SiO2. 2 I hope I was able to give some hints as to what quartz is and how it can be further divided into two subgroups based on its visible or invisible crystal structure (macro ... and 3 ... micro... ). Many crystalline grains in so many micro-crystalline materials are (sadly enough) invisible. Let us first see what the definition of quartz is. In short, QUARTZ=SILICA. Because, quartz is nothing but silica, we are talking about a type of mineral with chemical composition -- SiO 2 ... <P> Quartz is a relative newcomer to the countertop material industry. Commonly known products include Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone, Zodiaq, Hanstone and Viatera. These materials are comprised of a blend of 93% quartz and 7% polyester resin that is pressed into slabs using a “vibrocompression vacuum process”. Quartz materials come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, some of which look like natural granite, marble, limestone and concrete. Most manufacturers carry a ten-year warranty on the material. Quartz has some drawbacks as a countertop material. <P> Quartz is the second most abundant material in the earth's crust (which is good), but the acrylic resins used in quartz countertops are petroleum by-products, and they often contain alumina trihydrate fillers made from bauxite ore, which is mined primarily under toxic conditions in developing countries. Material: Quartz. How It's Made: Quartz countertops are man-made engineered stone countertops formed by combining 90% ground quartz (a natural hard mineral) with 8-10% resins, polymers, and pigments. This forms a very hard granite-like surface. <P> Quartz is very resistant to both chemicals and heat. It is therefore often used as a foundry sand. With a melting temperature higher than most metals it can be used for the molds and cores of common foundry work. Refractory brick are often made of quartz sand because of its high heat resistance. Quartz is a chemical compound consisting of one part silicon and two parts oxygen. It is silicon dioxide (SiO 2). It is the most abundant mineral found at Earth's surface and its unique properties make it one of the most useful natural substances. <P> Rose quartz is a type of quartz which exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue. The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the massive material. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light. Additionally, there is a rare type of pink quartz (also frequently called crystalline rose quartz) with color that is thought to be caused by trace amounts of phosphate or aluminium.

what is brand advertising
|
<P> In marketing, brand management is the analysis and planning on how that brand is perceived in the market. Developing a good relationship with the target market is essential for brand management. Tangible elements of brand management include the product itself; look, price, the packaging, etc. <P> To understand branding, it is important to know what brands are. A brand is the idea or image of a specific product or service that consumers connect with, by identifying the name, logo, slogan, or design of the company who owns the idea or image. <P> A common marketing gap is the failure to understand the difference between branding and advertising. In this guest post Chris Garrett illustrates how knowing the difference between branding and advertising can strengthen your marketing strategy and your brand. An advertisement is soliciting a meeting between your ideal customer and your company, and the difference between a customer who knows your brand and one who doesn’t is like the difference between asking a stranger on the street to go to coffee with you, and asking a friend. Advertising, Branding and Trust. <P> Branding should both precede and underlie any marketing effort. Branding is not push, but pull. Branding is the expression of the essential truth or value of an organization, product, or service. It is communication of characteristics, values, and attributes that clarify what this particular brand is and is not. A brand will help encourage someone to buy a product, and it directly supports whatever sales or marketing activities are in play, but the brand does not explicitly say “buy me.” Instead, it says “This is what I am. This is why I exist. <P> 4 2 1 1 3 1 2 1. Brand advertising is at the heart of any businesses success. It's all too easy as a business owner to make the mistake of thinking of your brand as a logo and a color scheme along with a slogan. Online brand advertising incorporating banner ads, blogs and even video are becoming more common and they seem to be having an effect on the consumer; meaning that these online brand advertising venues are to be ignored at your peril as a business. <P> Brand marketing influences the decisions of a variety of customers, including both end consumers and businesses. It is most effective for developing repeat business, as any customer’s perception of a brand is going to be largely informed by their previous experience(s) with that brand (See also Precision Marketing) . For customers, the company’s brand represents instant knowledge of that company. Brand marketing is as much about product quality as it is about communication, with poor product quality affecting a customer’s perception of a brand far more than good quality can. <P> A brand (or marque for car model) is a name, term, design, symbol or other feature that distinguishes one seller's product from those of others. Brands are used in business, marketing, and advertising. The word brand is often used as a metonym referring to the company that is strongly identified with a brand. Marque or make are often used to denote a brand of motor vehicle, which may be distinguished from a car model. <P> It is advertising with a strong emphasis on the company brand (logo and/or company name) also known as integrated marketing communications (IMC). You get them to love a brand by convincing them to try and use the product or service. Using advertising under Promotion is one of the eight tools for promotion in the 9P's of marketing. Developing a strong brand is a byproduct. <P> A combination of print and television media brand advertising is generally a good media mix for a brand advertising campaign. Your other marketing efforts can build on your branding later, but when you need to establish a presence for your brand, keep it simple for the biggest impact. Online brand advertising incorporating banner ads, blogs and even video are becoming more common and they seem to be having an effect on the consumer; meaning that these online brand advertising venues are to be ignored at your peril as a business. <P> Confidence votes 5.0K.

how long is a nautical mile
|
<P> A knot, therefore, is not a nautical mile, it is a nautical mile per hour. Thus 1 knot was equivalent to 1 nautical mile per hour; 5 knots were equivalent to 5 nautical miles per hour; etc. The similar sound of knot and naut is entirely coincidental. <P> Each nautical mile originally referred to one minute of arc along a meridian around the Earth. Think of a meridian around the Earth as being made up of 360 degrees, and each of those degrees consists of 60 minutes of arc. Each of these minutes of arc is then 1/21,600th of the distance around the earth. <P> A nautical mile is based on the circumference of the planet Earth. If you were to cut the Earth in half at the equator, you could pick up one of the halves and look at the equator as a circle. You could divide that circle into 360 degrees. You could then divide a degree into 60 minutes. <P> A nautical mile is 1,000 fathoms, or 6,000 feet. It is equal to one minute of celestial arc projected on the earth at sea level, and approximately 1.15 statute miles. Fathom is a Gaelic word that means the height of a man.. <P> A nautical mile is based on the circumference of the earth, and is equal to one minute of latitude. It is slightly more than a statute (land measured) mile (1 nautical mile =. ). Nautical miles are used for charting and navigating. <P> A statute mile is 5,280 feet in length. A nautical mile is 6,076.11549... feet in length. To convert from statute to nautical miles a factor of 1.15 is generally used, even though it is not precise. (5,280 feet X 1.15) = 6,072 feet (4.11549...feet less than 1 nautical mile).You could add 4.1 feet for each statute mile to be converted. <P> In the English measurement system, a nautical mile is 1.1508 miles, or 6,076 feet. To travel around the Earth at the equator, you would have to travel (360 * 60) 21,600 nautical miles, 24,857 miles or 40,003 kilometers. Print.

what is a fair value hedge
|
<P> Fair Value Hedges. When hedging exposures associated with the price of an asset, liability, or a firm commitment, the total gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in earnings. <P> Summary of Statement No. 133. Summary. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. <P> DEFINITION of 'Fair Value'. 1. The estimated value of all assets and liabilities of an acquired company used to consolidate the financial statements of both companies. 2. In the futures market, fair value is the equilibrium price for a futures contract. <P> (2,470). The fair value of the foreign currency forward contract at inception is zero. The foreign currency forward contract settles on March 31, 20X1 with Balmoral receiving $500 (10,000 x ($1.15 - $1.10)). a) There would be a memorandum entry made on October 1, 20X0 documenting the existence of the hedging relationship. <P> FAIR VALUE HEDGING. Example 4.13—Accounting for a Hedge of a Firm Commitment to Purchase Silver with a Forward Contract. For simplicity, the impact of commissions and other transaction costs, initial margin, and income taxes have been ignored. The basis adjustment recognized in earnings related to the firm commitment will be equal to the changes in the discounted fair value of the forward contract. All criteria for hedge accounting have been met. The forward contract is at market rates; therefore, no cash was exchanged at inception of the contract. <P> Tips. 1 Familiarize yourself with how the fair value of a liability can change when interest rates change. 2 The higher the interest rates, the lower the fair value of a liability, and vice versa. 3 Also, learn what it means for a business when the fair value of its liability changes. Account for fixed-rate liability value. Businesses can use interest rate swaps for fair value hedge, one of the two types of hedging activities classified under the generally accepted accounting principles. <P> Fair Value Hedge. Definition: A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or liability. It is used to minimize fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in fair values. Copyright 2015, All Rights Reserved. <P> A foreign exchange hedge (also called a FOREX hedge) is a method used by companies to eliminate or hedge their foreign exchange risk resulting from transactions in foreign currencies (see foreign exchange derivative). This is done using either the cash flow hedge or the fair value method. A foreign exchange hedge transfers the foreign exchange risk from the trading or investing company to a business that carries the risk, such as a bank. There is cost to the company for setting up a hedge. <P> Definition. A derivative instrument to balance out risk in other investments, to offset potential losses in the fair value of primary assets, liabilities or other investments. <P> Step 3. Account for variable-rate swap value. A fair value hedge lets a business offset potential gains or losses on its fixed-rate liability with gains or losses on the variable-rate liability swapped from a counterparty. Account for fixed-rate liability value. Businesses can use interest rate swaps for fair value hedge, one of the two types of hedging activities classified under the generally accepted accounting principles.

what is char siu
|
<P> Made time s. 1. Recipe by: David&Andrea. Char siu literally means fork burn/roast-'Char' being fork (both noun and verb) and siu being burn/roast-after the traditional cooking method for the dish: long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. <P> The char siu sauce itself also can be used on its own, independent of the pork. It can be used to treat other meats, or poultry such as duck. It also is served over rice and vegetables, for which it provides a strong taste and color to an otherwise vegetarian dish. <P> Char siu (Chinese: 叉燒 cha1 shao1, literally fork-roast ; also Romanised chasu, cha siu, caa siu, char siew) is a popular way to flavor and prepare barbecued pork in Cantonese cuisine. It is classified as a type of siu mei (燒味), Cantonese roasted meat. <P> Char siu is the name of both a roasted Asian pork dish and the sauce used to marinade the dish's meat before it is roasted. In Asian communities, the meat is often hung in the front window of shops and restaurants and can be easily identified by the bright red color on the surface of the meat. <P> A plate of char siu rice. Char siu literally means fork burn/roast (siu being burn/roast and char being fork, both noun and verb) after the traditional cooking method for the dish: long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. <P> Chinese barbequed pork Although it originated in China, char siu is now a favorite all over Asia. The name can refer to either the marinade itself or to the roast barbeque pork that is the most common char siu dish. Char siu is a versatile sauce that can be used in many ways and has endless variations. <P> Char siu literally means “fork burned” which is a reference to the traditional preparation, skewered and barbecued over a fire. While you may not have had a chance to try it over rice or in noodle soup, you’ve probably had it chopped up in pork buns (char siu bao) at one point or other.

does water freeze top to bottom or bottom to top
|
<P> In most ponds, however, the water is losing the majority of its heat to the colder air above it, so the ice would form there. And, being less dense than water, the ice would stay on the top as does the coldest water. All water has a very special property that causes this to happen. <P> Report Abuse. because the heat from water is escaping from the water at top and not from the bottom, since the water at top is in contact with the outside world temperature. because water is a good insulator, the bottom of the lake cannot freeze first because water has to loose alot of heat in order to freeze. <P> So what happens is the water that is just slightly above the freezing point rises to the top so the freezing process starts there. This is the same reason why ice is at the top of a lake in the winter and not at the bottom. This is beneficial to ice skaters as well as fish and other aquatic fauna. <P> Even if the water were to be cooled from the bottom, the coldest water would float to the top and when the whole pond became 0°C the ice would float to the top as it formed. In some cases where rocks are below the freezing point (exposed to the air part of the time, ice can form and stick to the rocks under water. <P> Hmmm... alcohol doesn't freeze. Water in the alcohol can freeze if it is not a high concentrate alcohol. Since it would be the water that is freezing, you can safely assume that it would freeze from the top to the bottom. Random question. <P> The temperature dependance of the density of water is unlike any other. Water is most dense at 4 degrees centigrade, so even before freezing you have a temperature profile in the pond (4 degrees at the bottom, cooler water is closer to the surface). <P> Good question and the answer lies in a very peculiar property of water. As you guessed, the density of water of water increases as the temperature is lowered, but below 4 o C this trend is reversed. Here is a graph from. It shows the density of liquid water vs. temperature.

what organisms are considered zooplankton
|
<P> The herbivores in these ecosystems mainly eat algae and phytoplankton. These herbivores are called zooplankton which means wandering animals. Some of the animals that are considered zooplankton are newly hatched shrimp, crabs, fish, sea worms, and water snails. <P> Plankton is made up of tiny plants (called phytoplankton) and tiny animals (called zooplankton). The word plankton comes from the Greek word planktos which means drifting. Zooplankton are floating or weakly swimming animals that rely on water currents to move any great distance. <P> Plankton are aquatic drifting organisms which means they are incapable of swimming against the current and instead, go with the flow.. The term, plankton, doesn't define the organism but how the organism lives. Plankton may be plant-like organisms, called phytoplankton or animal-like organisms, called zooplankton. <P> Definition: Plankton is the term that generally refers to the floaters, the organisms in the ocean that drift with the currents. This includes zooplankton ( animal plankton ), phytoplankton (plankton that are capable of photosynthesis), and bacteria. <P> Herbivores, such as ducks, small fish and many species of zooplankton (animal plankton) eat plants. Carnivores (meat eaters) eat other animals and can be small (e.g., frog) or large (e.g., lake trout). Omnivores are animals (including humans) that eat both plants and animals. Each is an important part of the food chain. <P> Phytoplankton. Chaetoceros decipien. P lankton is a general term for both phytoplankton and zooplankton, which are passively floating and some weakly swimming animal-like and plant-like organisms that are moved with the currents. Phytoplankton are the plant-like division of planktonic organisms.

what are coral reefs used for
|
<P> Shallow water coral reefs straddle the equator worldwide. Corals are found across the world’s ocean, in both shallow and deep water, but reef-building corals are only found in shallow tropical and subtropical waters. In the so-called true stony corals, which compose most tropical reefs, each polyp sits in a cup made of calcium carbonate. Stony corals are the most important reef builders, but organpipe corals, precious red corals, and blue corals also have stony skeletons. <P> 1 Food: For people living near coral reefs, especially on small islands. 2 Protection: A natural barrier protecting coastal cities, communities and beaches. 3 Medicine: The potential for treatments for many of the world's most prevalent and dangerous illnesses and diseases. Benefits from coral reefs can be categorized into 2 types: direct use values (fisheries and tourism industry), and indirect use values (benefit derived from coastline protection). <P> Reefs provide homes for more than 4,000 species of fish, 700 species of coral, and thousands of other plants and animals. The architects of coral reefs are hard corals. Unlike soft corals, hard corals have stony skeletons made out of limestone that is produced by coral polyps. When polyps die, their skeletons are left behind and used as foundations for new polyps. <P> Corals are the medicine cabinets of the 21st century. Coral reefs are often considered the medicine cabinets of the 21st century. Coral reefs are sometimes considered the medicine cabinets of the 21st century. Coral reef plants and animals are important sources of new medicines being developed to treat cancer, arthritis, human bacterial infections, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, viruses, and other diseases <P> There are various types of shallow-water coral reef, including fringing reefs, barrier reefs and atolls; most occur in tropical and subtropical seas. They are very slow-growing, adding perhaps one centimetre (0.4 in) in height each year. They typically live in compact colonies of many identical individual polyps. The group includes the important reef builders that inhabit tropical oceans and secrete calcium carbonate to form a hard skeleton. A coral head is a colony of myriad genetically identical polyps. <P> Also, their beauty makes coral reefs a powerful attraction for tourism, and well managed tourism provides a sustainable means of earning foreign currency and employment for people around the world, even in remote areas of developing countries. Benefits from coral reefs can be categorized into 2 types: direct use values (fisheries and tourism industry), and indirect use values (benefit derived from coastline protection). <P> Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems held together by calcium carbonate structures secreted by corals. Coral reefs are built by colonies of tiny animals found in marine waters that contain few nutrients. Most coral reefs are built from stony corals, which in turn consist of polyps that cluster in groups. The polyps belong to a group of animals known as Cnidaria, which also includes sea anemones and jellyfish. Unlike sea anemones, corals secrete hard carbonate exoskeletons which support and protect the coral polyp <P> Coral reefs live in warm, tropical sea water all over the world. Many reefs are found in the Caribbean Sea and South Pacific. Large coral colonies live off the coast of the Florida Keys, Hawaii and Australia. Several types of algae live in coral reefs. They all provide food for other organisms in the reef. Blue-green algae process nitrogen in the reef ecosystem so that other organisms can use it. Coralline algae, a type of red algae, produce calcium carbonate which provides structure to the reef. <P> In summary, healthy coral reefs provide: 1 Habitat: Home to over 1 million diverse aquatic species, including thousands of fish species. 2 Income: Billions of dollars and millions of jobs in over 100 countries around the world. 3 Food: For people living near coral reefs, especially on small islands. Benefits from coral reefs can be categorized into 2 types: direct use values (fisheries and tourism industry), and indirect use values (benefit derived from coastline protection).

<P> Retired in 2005, breeding Araucana chickens. It takes about 50 days to hatch an Emu egg. The male usually picks out where he wants the hen to lay the eggs. She will lay one egg every three days and when she has 6 to 8 eggs in the nest he will brood. The male sits on the eggs not the female. <P> Emu chicks hatch at about 1 pound. They will grow very fast and will be able to look over a 4' piece of plywood at 3 months of age. <P> Emu eggs are the longest incubating eggs at 50 days. You might say Emu are the original surrogate mother. The female lays the egg, but it's the male that sits on the egg until it hatches. He also cares for the chicks for their first 18 months of life in the wild. <P> It takes about 50 days to hatch an Emu egg. The male usually picks out where he wants the hen to lay the eggs.

what age can you get a credit card
|
<P> Primary Cardholders of TD Credit Cards must be at least 18 years of age. However, it is possible for the Primary Cardholder to add an Authorized User to their TD Credit Card Account who is under the age of 18. The Primary Cardholder remains responsible for all purchases, balances and fees made to the Account. <P> You can get a credit card under age 18 if an adult adds you as an authorized user to their credit card. As an authorized user, you'll have a card with your name on it that you can use to make purchases. <P> Again, you cannot get your own credit card if you’re under the age of 18 – even with a co-signer. There are many reasons why that’s the case, but we won’t get into them here. If you want a credit card before you turn 18, your lone option is to use a parent’s credit card account as authorized user. This will give you valuable experience managing credit before your own financial reputation is truly on the line. <P> You must be 18 years old to get a credit card by yourself. While you can legally get a credit card as young as age 18, the law requires you have your own steady source of income to qualify for a credit card. Unfortunately, a monthly allowance from your parents doesn't count. It's for your own good. <P> You can also get a prepaid card under age 18. A prepaid card isn't a credit card, but it looks like one and swipes like one. However, you have to prepay any purchases you make on the card, versus paying for the purchases after you make them. A prepaid card doesn't help you build a credit history. <P> You can get your own credit card account as soon as you turn 18 and a credit card with your name on it even earlier than that, if you’re an authorized user on a parent’s account. <P> 1 You can expect a few no annual fee student credit cards with at least 1% cash back or 0% interest for the first few months to be available. 2 However, if you want more attractive rewards or a longer 0% rate for your child, you could co-sign for a card as well.

how thick is the epidermis
|
<P> Answers. Best Answer: The epidermis is the outer layer of skin. The thickness of the epidermis varies in different types of skin. It is the thinnest on the eyelids at .05 mm and the thickest on the palms and soles at 1.5 mm. The epidermis contains 5 layers. <P> The epidermis: a thin outer portion, that is the keratinised stratified squamous epithelium of skin. The epidermis is important for the protective function of skin. The basal layers of this epithelium are folded to form dermal papillae. Thin skin contains four types of cellular layers, and thick skin contains five. 1 It has an area of 2 square metres (22 square feet) in adults, and weighs about 5 kilograms. 2 The thickness of skin varies from 0.5mm thick on the eyelids to 4.0mm thick on the heels of your feet. <P> For the outer layer of cells in plants, see Epidermis (botany) . For other uses, see Epidermis (disambiguation) . The epidermis is composed of the outermost layers of cells in the skin, epi in Greek meaning over or upon, which together with the dermis forms the cutis. <P> 1 Skin is the largest organ of the body. 2 It has an area of 2 square metres (22 square feet) in adults, and weighs about 5 kilograms. 3 The thickness of skin varies from 0.5mm thick on the eyelids to 4.0mm thick on the heels of your feet. 4 Skin is the major barrier between the inside and outside of your body! 1 It has an area of 2 square metres (22 square feet) in adults, and weighs about 5 kilograms. 2 <P> Some facts about skin. 1 Skin is the largest organ of the body. 2 It has an area of 2 square metres (22 square feet) in adults, and weighs about 5 kilograms. 3 The thickness of skin varies from 0.5mm thick on the eyelids to 4.0mm thick on the heels of your feet. 1 It has an area of 2 square metres (22 square feet) in adults, and weighs about 5 kilograms. 2 <P> The Epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, and protects the body from the environment. The thickness of the epidermis varies in different types of skin; it is only .05 mm thick on the eyelids, and is 1.5 mm thick on the palms and the soles of the feet. The dermis is located beneath the epidermis and is the thickest of the three layers of the skin (1.5 to 4 mm thick), making up approximately 90 percent of the thickness of the skin. The main functions of the dermis are to regulate temperature and to supply the epidermis with nutrient-saturated blood <P> Representative measurements are show in the table below.

<P> While your ads are “pending review,” anything can happen. Sometimes good ads are rejected or bad ads are approved. That said, let’s try to shed some light on Facebook’s Ad rules and its review process to limit the chances of your ads being rejected and maybe even speed up the “pending review” period. <P> Next: Red alert in the account. We can tell you how long our part of the approval process will take. However, some parts require actions on your end, and we can only continue the review after you complete them. Learn more about the AdSense approval process. <P> 1 Once you submitted your application, you will receive an email from us within 6 to 8 hours that will tell you whether you have passed the first step of the review process. 2 If you passed the first check, you can then log in to your AdSense account. <P> Because it can take some time to get your ad approved, you can create your ads in advance and then pause them -- we can review your paused ads, and you'll have a better chance of having them be ready to go when the time comes to start your campaign. Learn how to pause or resume your ad. <P> The same ad might be approved by someone and not approved by someone else. There’s not much you can do about it. If you think your ad is fine, you can try to republish it but, beware, too many rejected ads might raise red flags on your Facebook advertising account. <P> Even as a Facebook Marketing Partner, AdEspresso’s own ads are subject to the same review process. And sometimes it can be frustrating. Truth is there’s no clear answer to these questions. Facebook’s Ad review time can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 days. Once your ad is created, it ends up in a review queue where a team of highly trained Facebook employees will review it and then either approve or reject it.

<P> Signs There are many different signs and symptoms associated with dysphagia. If you find swallowing difficult you may be reluctant to admit you have a problem. So if any of the signs below match what happens to you, try and talk to someone about it and ask your GP for advice. 1 You swallow repeatedly. <P> Dysphagia is the medical term for difficulty swallowing. When dysphagia is mild, it may cause an individual only to stop eating for a minute or less, but when it is severe, it can prevent an individual from taking in enough calories for adequate nutrition. Dysphagia has many causes. <P> Common symptoms of a disorder of the esophagus include regurgitation of food, vomiting, weight loss, bad breath, a bad taste in the mouth, throat burning, chest pain, vitamin deficiencies and feeling like the throat is swollen. <P> Dysphagia Symptoms. Depending upon the cause of the dysphagia, the difficulty swallowing can be mild or severe. Some affected individuals may have trouble swallowing both solids and liquids, while others may experience problems only when attempting to swallow solid foods. <P> Signs and symptoms associated with dysphagia may include: 1 Having pain while swallowing (odynophagia). 2 Being unable to swallow. 3 Having the sensation of food getting stuck in your throat or chest or behind your breastbone (sternum). 4 Drooling. 5 Being hoarse. 6 Bringing food back up (regurgitation). 7 Having frequent heartburn. <P> Swallowing-related symptoms of dysphagia. The most common swallowing symptom of dysphagia is the sensation that swallowed food is sticking, either in the lower neck or the chest. 1 If food sticks in the throat, there may be coughing or choking with expectoration of the swallowed food.

what are issues with transfer pricing
|
<P> Transfer pricing happens whenever two companies that are part of the same multinational group trade with each other: when a US-based subidiary of Coca-Cola, for example, buys something from a French-based subsidiary of Coca-Cola. When the parties establish a price for the transaction, this is transfer pricing. Transfer pricing is not, in itself, illegal or necessarily abusive. What is illegal or abusive is transfer mispricing, also known as transfer pricing manipulation or abusive transfer pricing. (Transfer mispricing is a form of a more general phenomenon known as trade mispricing, which includes trade between unrelated or apparently unrelated parties – an example is reinvoicing .) <P> 93 Morgan, William R, “Hearing on Transfer Pricing Issues,” Hearing before the Committee on Ways and Means. U.S. House of Representatives, One hundred Eleventh Congress, Second Session, July 22, 2010. 90 One solution would be to take the side of a pharmaceutical company, with respect to the current medical drug patent law, and allow the United States to tax and profit for a limited 89 Levin, Sander M. <P> In addition, for applicable corporations, transfer-pricing issues that give rise to an uncertain tax position often are reportable on Schedule UTP, Uncertain Tax Position Statement. These issues also have increased the complexity of financial statements, requiring additional and longer footnote disclosures. Transfer-pricing issues often give rise to uncertain tax benefits, which under FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, require taxpayers to assess the strength of the uncertain position, based on its documentation and analysis. <P> Transfer Pricing as a Current and Future Issue for Developing Countries (i) General issues with transfer pricing 10.1 Several issues arise when applying the arm's length principle used in the existing OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines to the domestic realities of developing countries. <P> Shares & Saves. Save. Transfer pricing is used to set the internal price of goods and services that move between the divisions or business units of a corporation. Transfer pricing is used throughout the corporate world and impacts performance management, cost management and taxation. 1 International Transfer Pricing Methods. 2 Objectives of Transfer Pricing. <P> - 6 - The use of the arm’s length standard in U.S. transfer pricing regulations is another major problem and may be the root of all transfer pricing issues. All transfer pricing disputes arise over the arm’s length standard principal. 90 One solution would be to take the side of a pharmaceutical company, with respect to the current medical drug patent law, and allow the United States to tax and profit for a limited 89 Levin, Sander M., “Hearing on Transfer Pricing Issues,” Hearing before the Committee on Ways and Means. <P> Transfer pricing results in the setting of prices among divisions within an enterprise. In principle a transfer price should match either what the seller would charge an independent, arm's length customer, or what the buyer would pay an independent, arm's length supplier. <P> Transfer pricing -- the practice of establishing arm's length prices for related party cross-border transactions is one of the many complex tax issues that multinational corporations face. <P> Transfer pricing is the setting of the price for goods and services sold between controlled (or related) legal entities within an enterprise. For example, if a subsidiary company sells goods to a parent company, the cost of those goods is the transfer price. In principle a transfer price should match either what the seller would charge an independent, arm's length customer, or what the buyer would pay an independent, arm's length supplier. <P> 1 WHEN A COMPANY adds facilities in another stateor even worse, when it goes internationalit suddenly must contend with the complex process of transfer pricing. 2 A KEY ELEMENT of transfer pricing is the presence of a buyer-seller relationship between units of a single company. The result is to have more revenue subjected to a lower rate and less to a higher rate. If the operating unit receiving the goods and services is in a high-rate jurisdiction, the high transfer price also produces a large expense deduction for that division.

temperate coniferous forest taiga
|
<P> Plants Animals Climate Siberian Taiga A biome is the type of habitat in certain places, like mountain tops, deserts, and tropical forests, and is determined by the climate of the place. The taiga is the biome of the needleleaf forest. Living in the taiga is cold and lonely. <P> Some of the more common conifers are spruces, pines, and firs. Precipitation in coniferous forests varies from 300 to 900 mm annually, with some temperate coniferous forests receiving up to 2,000 mm. The amount of precipitation depends on the forest location. In the northern boreal forests, the winters are long, cold and dry, while the short summers are moderately warm and moist. Another type, temperate coniferous forests, grows in lower latitudes of North America, Europe, and Asia, in the high elevations of mountains. Coniferous forests consist mostly of conifers, trees that grow needles instead of leaves, and cones instead of flowers. <P> In these warmer areas the taiga has higher species diversity, with more warmth-loving species such as Korean pine, Jezo spruce, and Manchurian fir, and merges gradually into mixed temperate forest or, more locally (on the Pacific Ocean coasts of North America and Asia), into coniferous temperate rainforests. The taiga stores enormous quantities of carbon, more than the world's temperate and tropical forests combined, much of it in wetlands and peatland. In fact, current estimates place boreal forests as storing twice as much carbon per unit area as tropical forests. <P> [tɐjˈɡa] ; from Turkic) also known as boreal forest or snow forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces and larches. The taiga is the world's largest terrestrial biome. The taiga stores enormous quantities of carbon, more than the world's temperate and tropical forests combined, much of it in wetlands and peatland. In fact, current estimates place boreal forests as storing twice as much carbon per unit area as tropical forests. <P> The other two are the temperate forest and the tropical rainforest. The taiga is the driest and coldest of the three. The taiga is sometimes called the boreal forest or the coniferous forest. It is the largest of all the land biomes. The dominant plant in the taiga is the coniferous evergreen tree. These trees include spruce, pine, cedar, and fir trees. They grow close together forming a canopy over the land, like an umbrella. This canopy soaks up the sun and only lets a little bit of sunlight through to the ground. <P> The forest trees here are mostly conifers and evergreens, like spruce, pine, fir, and larch. The interactions between the trees, shrubs, and undergrowth of temperate forests and taiga are complex and dynamic, as they respond to changes in soil, water, seasons, and climate. This creates a diverse ecosystem containing several types of woodland communities. <P> One type of coniferous forest, the northern boreal forest, is found in 50° to 60°N latitudes. Another type, temperate coniferous forests, grows in lower latitudes of North America, Europe, and Asia, in the high elevations of mountains. Coniferous forests consist mostly of conifers, trees that grow needles instead of leaves, and cones instead of flowers. <P> Taiga is the world's largest land biome, and makes up 29% of the world's forest cover; the largest areas are located in Russia and Canada. The taiga is the terrestrial biome with the lowest annual average temperatures after the tundra and permanent ice caps. The taiga stores enormous quantities of carbon, more than the world's temperate and tropical forests combined, much of it in wetlands and peatland. In fact, current estimates place boreal forests as storing twice as much carbon per unit area as tropical forests. <P> LOCATION: Taiga, also known as coniferous or boreal forest, is the largest terrestrial biome on earth. It extends in a broad band across North America, Europe, and Asia to the southern border of the arctic tundra. Precipitation is relatively high in the taiga and falls as snow during the winter and rain during the summer. The total yearly precipitation in the taiga biome is 10 - 30 inches (25 - 75 cm). PLANTS: Compared to other biomes, the taiga has less diversity in plant life. <P> Other major taiga forests include North America (Canada and Alaska) and Scandinavia (Finland, Norway, and Sweden). Plants of the Taiga. The dominant plant in the taiga is the coniferous evergreen tree. These trees include spruce, pine, cedar, and fir trees. They grow close together forming a canopy over the land, like an umbrella. This canopy soaks up the sun and only lets a little bit of sunlight through to the ground.

types of ligaments
|
<P> Types of Ligaments: According to composition: 1 Most of the ligaments are made up of collagen fibers. 2 These are inelastic and unstretchable, 3 A few ligaments, like the Ligament flava and ligaments of auditory ossicles, are made up of elastin fibers (predominantly). 4 These are elastic and stretchable. <P> We have already stated that ligaments connect bones to other bones. It helps to imagine the bones of your leg as a chain. Your thigh bone, the femur, is one chain link. The lower leg bone, the tibia, is another link. The ligaments of your knee joint form the chain link that attaches the femur and the tibia together. <P> Ligaments are bundles of connective tissue that connect one bone to an adjacent bone. The basic building blocks of a ligament are collagen fibers. These fibers are usually arranged in parallel bundles and attached to the outer covering that surrounds all bones, the periosteum. <P> 1 Most of the ligaments are made up of collagen fibers. 2 These are inelastic and unstretchable, 3 A few ligaments, like the Ligament flava and ligaments of auditory ossicles, are made up of elastin fibers (predominantly). 4 These are elastic and stretchable. <P> Ligaments are bundles of connective tissue that connect one bone to an adjacent bone. The basic building blocks of a ligament are collagen fibers. These fibers are very strong, flexible, and resistant to damage from pulling or compressing stresses. <P> Ligaments are similar to tendons and fasciae as they are all made of connective tissue. The differences in them are in the connections that they make; ligaments connect one bone to another bone, tendons connect muscle to bone and fasciae connect muscles to other muscles. <P> In anatomy, a ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones and is also known as articular ligament, articular larua, fibrous ligament, or true ligament. Ligament can also refer to: 1 Peritoneal ligament: a fold of peritoneum or other membranes.

what is a marketing environment
|
<P> Marketing Environment. The marketing environment surrounds and impacts upon the organization. There are three key elements to the marketing environment which are the internal environment, the microenvironment and the macroenvironment. <P> The market environment is a marketing term and refers to factors and forces that affect a firm’s ability to build and maintain successful relationships with customers. Three levels of the environment are 3: Micro (internal) environment-small forces within the company that affect its ability to serve its customers. Meso environment – the industry in which a company operates and the industry’s market(s). Macro (national) environment-larger societal forces that affect the microenvironment. <P> The market environment is a marketing term and refers to factors and forces that affect a firm's ability to build and maintain successful relationships with customers. Three levels of the environment are: Micro (internal) environment-forces within the company that affect its ability to serve its customers. Marketing is about communicating the value of a product, service or brand to customers or consumers for the purpose of promoting or selling that product, service, or brand. <P> The macro marketing environment takes into account all factors that can influence an organisation, but are outside of their control. There are six major macro marketing environment forces to deal with (PESTLE): political, economic, socio-cultural, technological, legal and environmental. <P> Introduction. Firms are affected by lots of different things; a firm's marketing environment is made up of all of the things that affect the way it operates. Some of the factor's in a firm's marketing environment can be controlled by the firm but some are uncontrollable. Firms need to understand their marketing environment so that they can make the most of positive factors and manage the impact of negative factors. A firm's marketing environment can be spilt into three parts: internal environment, macro environment and micro environment. <P> 4 people found this helpful. You need to try and create a good marketing environment so that your team always can work to its full potential. 9 people found this helpful. The marketing environment was open to new ideas and unconventional ways and ideas so I suggested our new idea for their product literature. <P> The elements of a marketing environment include, but are not limited to, the changing preferences of customers, your competition, the legal, political and regulatory environment, your own resources and budget, current trends and the overall economy. The marketing environment is everything your company must take into consideration when developing and presenting a new product.

what does nutmeg taste like
|
<P> Nutmeg and mace have similar sensory qualities, with nutmeg having a slightly sweeter and mace a more delicate flavour. Mace is often preferred in light dishes for the bright orange, saffron-like hue it imparts. The oil is colourless or light yellow, and smells and tastes of nutmeg. It contains numerous components of interest to the oleochemical industry, and is used as a natural food flavouring in baked goods, syrups, beverages, and sweets. It is used to replace ground nutmeg, as it leaves no particles in the food. <P> Nutmeg is the actual seed of the nutmeg tree. This is the only tropical fruit that is the source of two different spices (nutmeg and mace). Nutmeg and mace have similar taste qualities, but mace has a stronger flavor. The nutmeg seed is encased in a mottled yellow, edible fruit, the approximate size and shape of a small peach. The fruit splits in half to reveal a net-like, bright red covering over the seed. Mace is also derived from the nutmeg fruit. You've probably used nutmeg in many dessert dishes, but it also works well in savory recipes. The nutmeg tree is evergreen, with oblong egg-shaped leaves and small, bell-like light yellow flowers that give off a distinct aroma when in bloom. <P> The pungent spice was named Jamaican pepper and later became known as allspice because it tastes like a blend of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Available whole or ground, this zesty dried berry can be used in both sweet and savory foods, from cakes and cookies to soups and stews. <P> How to Use Nutmeg. Yes, nutmeg is a classic member of the sweet spice quartet, but more than allspice, cloves, and even cinnamon, nutmeg can stand on its own (and its taste is often improved without those harmonizing flavors). Like other sweet spices, it plays nicely with starchy potatoes and squash, and dark meats like lamb and pork. <P> Nutmeg is the spice that makes Egg Nog taste like Egg Nog. Of course if you just stick a spoonful in your mouth it won't taste good. Neither would a lot of spices. It is also essential for a true Alfredo Sauce and for many baking recipes. <P> 1 Spices to Substitute Nutmeg in Recipes As a spice, nutmeg is the seed of a nutmeg tree and usually comes in powered form. 2 Nutmeg is often used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines. 3 While many recipes c…. 1 The major difference between the two is the ingredients us…. 2 Nutmeg Recipes Nutmeg is a flavorful spice that adds a nutty flavor to the dishes you add it to. 3 You can add nutmeg to many recipes such as baked goods, cream soups, and vegetables. <P> Native to the Moluccas (the Spice Islands), nutmeg is produced from the fruit of a large evergreen tree. The same fruit also produces mace. With its nutty, slightly sweet flavor, nutmeg enhances such dishes as pies, puddings, muffins, custards, cookies, sweet breads and cakes. It also perks up soups, egg dishes, meats, vegetables (particularly root vegetables), sausage and punches. <P> 1 Nutmeg Recipes Nutmeg is a flavorful spice that adds a nutty flavor to the dishes you add it to. 2 You can add nutmeg to many recipes such as baked goods, cream soups, and vegetables. 3 You can…. 4 Spices to Substitute Nutmeg in Recipes As a spice, nutmeg is the seed of a nutmeg tree and usually comes in powered form. 1 The major difference between the two is the ingredients us…. 2 Nutmeg Recipes Nutmeg is a flavorful spice that adds a nutty flavor to the dishes you add it to. 3 <P> Cinnamon is from the bark of a tree, and nutmeg is a seed. Cinnamon is the hot flavor in a lot of candies, e.g. Hot Tamales, as well as being used in apple pie and cinnamon rolls. Nutmeg is more subtle, often used with other spices, sometimes including cinnamon. Beyond this, let your taste buds decide. They're completely different. Cinnamon is warm, woody, hot, sweet, spicy, bark. Nutmeg is eggnog. If you want something to taste like Christmas, use it. They're both delicious, versatile, and can work well together. By volume, you can use much more cinnamon than nutmeg. Nutmeg is a dash of kind of spice, while cinnamon can be mixed with butter or sugar and slathered on basically any pastry

<P> In all of us are bacteria that promote health. Antibiotics can not discern the good from the bad types and you need the good for several reasons. Good and bad bacteria exist in the mouth and the gut. Normally the good types are in abundant numbers to render the bad insignificant. <P> After taking antibiotics, children can go through a period of constipation, followed by a secondary illness because their immune system is compromised. Young kids can also get cradle cap (actually a case of fungal seborrhoeic dermatitis), psoriasis, or eczema from the lack of good bacteria on their skin and scalp. <P> I had constipation what to do. Hello, You may have to exclude organic causes for the constipation after consulting a specialist. You can alter your food habits and start taking more of fiber-rich diet along with plenty of water. Regular daily exercise especially with stress on perineal exercises helps often. <P> Recovering from severe Bloating and Constipation (usually after antibiotics). Antibiotics – especially an overdose of – may cure your immediate bacterial infection. However, it will leave you without any friendly bacteria (in your digestive tract – starting from your mouth – all the way to your gut). <P> Antibiotics and constipation are closely related that the root cause of latter is intake of antibiotics. Antibiotics destroy the flora in the gut which becomes more susceptible to infections since unhealthy organisms invade in the gut. <P> Antibiotics and constipation. Antibiotics have the potential to disrupt helpful bacteria in the gut. This is the cause of many gastrointestinal problems, including diarrhea, upset stomach, nausea, and constipation. Diarrhea is much more common effect of antibiotics than <P> Antibiotics have the potential to disrupt helpful bacteria in the gut. This is the cause of many gastrointestinal problems, including diarrhea, upset stomach, nausea, and constipation. Diarrhea is much more common effect of antibiotics than <P> How antibiotics can cause constipation. However, a course of antibiotics can greatly decrease the amount of beneficial bacteria, which allows harmful bacteria to multiply and fill in the void. Unchecked by healthy bacteria, these bad guys multiply quickly and try to take over the colon. <P> One of the major causes of constipation is unhealthy gut flora in your body. Your gut is the home to millions of microorganisms which are several times higher than the body cells in number. Gut flora has high importance

genetic inheritance of blood types
|
<P> The A allele encodes for an enzyme called N-acetylaminogalactosyltransferase which makes the A antigen that confers blood type A. A mutation on this gene conforms the B allele. This encodes for another enzyme that makes the B antigen and confers the blood type B to the carrier of this allele. Having examined the biochemistry behind the ABO blood types let’s look at the genetics of the blood types. The human ABO gene is located on chromosome 9. This gene has 3 variants (alleles). <P> The Human Genetics Tutorial with problem solving exercises concerning the inheritance of the ABO blood group alleles has resulted in a steady stream of inquiries to the Biology Project from mothers, grandmothers, and children inquiring about the possible blood type of the father of a given child. <P> Alleles are different possible types of a particular gene, in this case the gene(s) controlling our Blood type. There are three common Blood type alleles: A, B, and O. We all have two alleles, one inherited from each parent. The proof of this is in our Blood. For an example, let's take a look at some of the rules of Blood type genetics for the population of the United States. (Other population groups have differing Blood type statistics. <P> Genetics: Blood Types. Learn about the different blood types, how they were discovered, and what they mean. Learn about inheritance and changes in blood types. Find out why it is important to know your blood type and Rh factor. Includes quizzes, lesson plans, games, and movies. There are links to eThemes resources on basics of genetics, genes, DNA, and inherited blood diseases. <P> Blood Type Compatibility. Your ABO blood type is based on the presence or absence of the A and B antigens on your red blood cells. The A blood type has only the A antigen and the B blood type has only the B antigen. The AB blood type has both A and B antigens, and the O blood type has neither A nor B antigen. By the time you are six months old, you naturally develop antibodies against the antigens your red blood cells lack <P> Blood Type Genetic Basis: In genetics, blood type gene has two alleles, each allele has genotype A, B or O. The A and B are dominant, and O is recessive. So allele A combined with allele O is type A. Similarly, BO is type B, AA is type A, BB is type B, OO is type O, and AB is type AB. If both parents have type A blood, then the alleles could be AA or AO, thus the allele A frequency is 75%, allele O frequency is 25% for both parents. So the chance of alleles OO is 25% × 25% = 6.25%, alleles AA is 75% × 75% = 56.25%, alleles AO is 75% × 25% = 18.75%, alleles OA is 25% × 75% = 18.75%. <P> In the ABO system, the A allele and the B allele are codominant, and the O allele is recessive. Thus, if a person's ABO blood type is O, he or she has two O alleles. If, however, a person's blood type is A, he or she has either two A alleles or one A allele and one O allele. Similarly, if a person has type B blood, this indicates the presence of either two B alleles or one B allele and one O allele. <P> A child's blood type can be predicted with a high degree of certainty from the parent’s blood types. To do that a “Punnet Square” is constructed. In a Punnett Square the alleles from one parent are listed on one side and the alleles from the other parent are listed on the top. Having examined the biochemistry behind the ABO blood types let’s look at the genetics of the blood types. The human ABO gene is located on chromosome 9. This gene has 3 variants (alleles). <P> These multiple alleles are passed from parent to offspring such that one allele is inherited from each parent. There are six possible genotypes (genetic makeup of inherited alleles) and four phenotypes (expressed physical trait) for human ABO blood types. The A and B alleles are dominant to the O allele. When both inherited alleles are O, the genotpye is homozygous recessive and the blood type is O. When one of the inherited alleles is A and the other is B, the genotype is heterozygous and the blood type is AB. <P> Blood groups are inherited from both parents. The ABO blood type is controlled by a single gene (the ABO gene) with three types of alleles inferred from classical genetics: i, IA, and IB. The gene encodes a glycosyltransferase —that is, an enzyme that modifies the carbohydrate content of the red blood cell antigens. Compared to O group individuals, non-O group (A, AB, and B) individuals have a 14% reduced risk of squamous cell carcinoma and 4% reduced risk of basal cell carcinoma. Conversely, type O blood is associated with a reduced risk of pancreatic cancer. The B antigen links with increased risk of ovarian cancer.

<P> The Republic of Panama is a former Spanish colony in Central America with a mixed population of Creoles, mestizos, European immigrants, Africans, and indigenous Indians. Location and Geography. The country is a natural land bridge connecting the South American continent with Central America. The isthmus runs east-west in the form of an inverted S.. Low mountains run through most of the country, leaving a gap in the center that is nearly at sea level. <P> People and Culture. Due to its position as a crossroads and transport center, Panama's people and culture reflect it's international connections. There is a saying that Panama was born globalized.. Since Panama is historically a crossroads, people and cultures from all over the world meet and mix here, resulting in an atmosphere of tolerance where people know how to get along with each other. <P> Still, for all its diversity, Panama’s dominant culture has Spanish origins. The family is all-important, Catholicism is prominent, and machismo is a way of life for most men. The U.S. has also had a large influence in Panama, due to its long presence in the country. Similar to the practices of people in other Latin American countries, Panamanians do not place a high importance on promptness. Showing up late is normal and in many cases expected – it’s not uncommon for guests to show up an hour or two late to a dinner party. <P> Society and Culture of Panama. It is very interesting to learn about the various facets of Panama culture and society, as they help people to learn about the country in a better way. There are many subdivisions of Panama society and culture, each which contribute to the rich heritage of the nation. The cuisine of Panama shares many characteristics with the food of Latin American countries and involves lots of corn, seafood, shellfish and fish. Languages spoken in Panama. Spanish is the official language of Panama and is widely spoken by most of the people in the country. <P> Panama, a small country in Central America, has a unique and diverse history, culture, and population. One can truly say that Panama is a melting pot of traditions and ideas. Nowhere else is this diversity more present than in Panama’s music industry. <P> The noteworthy aspects of the society and culture of Panama are reflected in the food, music, dances, languages and religions of the country. Cuna, a famous tribe in Panama, is known for its matriarchal societies and closely-packed communities. The different provinces in Panama believe in their own unique folklores.

Spanish is the official language of Panama and is widely spoken by most of the people in <P> This page aims to give you a broad overview of Panama's art, culture, people, environment, geography, history, economy and government. <P> The People and Culture of Panama. In 2011, Panama’s population hit 3.5 million. A hundred years earlier, the country’s first census estimated the population to be 337,000. These days, one thing is for certain: Panama is booming, especially within urban areas, where nearly two-thirds of the people live. Similar to the practices of people in other Latin American countries, Panamanians do not place a high importance on promptness. Showing up late is normal and in many cases expected – it’s not uncommon for guests to show up an hour or two late to a dinner party. <P> Panamanian culture is a hybrid of African, Native Panamanian, and European culture-specifically Spanish. For example, the tamborito is a Spanish dance that was blended with Native American rhythms and dance moves. Dance is a symbol of the diverse cultures that have coupled in Panama. The local folklore can be experienced through a multitude of festivals, dances and traditions that have been handed down from generation to generation. With this heritage, Panama has a rich and diverse music history, and important contributions to Cumbia, Saloma, Pasillo, Punto, Tamborito, Mejorana, Bolero, Jazz, Salsa, Reggae, Calypso, Rock and other musical genres.

One of the minute blood vessels that convey blood from the arterioles to the venules and form an anastomosing network that brings the blood into intimate relationship with the tissue cells. <P> The blood capillaries are where the important functions of the circulation take place: the exchange of material between circulation and cells. Capillaries are the smallest of the body's blood vessels. <P> Capillaries are where fluids, gasses, nutrients, and wastes are exchanged between the blood and body tissues by diffusion. Capillary walls contain small pores that allow certain substances to pass into and out of the blood vessel. 1 Gasses, nutrients, and wastes are also exchanged at this point. 2 On the venule end of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel is less than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. 3 The net result is that fluid, carbon dioxide and wastes are drawn from the body tissue into the capillary vessel. <P> Capillaries are so small that red blood cells can only travel through them in single file. Capillaries measure in size from about 5-10 microns in diameter. Capillary walls are thin and are composed of endothelium (a type of simple squamous epithelial tissue). 1 Gasses, nutrients, and wastes are also exchanged at this point. 2 On the venule end of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel is less than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. 3 The net result is that fluid, carbon dioxide and wastes are drawn from the body tissue into the capillary vessel. <P> Capillary walls are thin and are composed of endothelium (a type of simple squamous epithelial tissue).

<P> Strep throat, also called streptococcal pharyngitis, is an infection with group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus bacteria. Strep throat has an incubation period of two to five days and is most common in children 5 to 12 years of age. The illness can occur in clusters and is diagnosed most often in the winter and spring. <P> Keflex (cephalexin) is administered orally. Adults — The adult dosage ranges from 1 to 4 g daily in divided doses. The 333 mg and 750 mg strengths should be administered such that the daily dose is within 1 to 4 grams per day. The usual adult dose is 250 mg every 6 hours. For the following infections, a dosage of 500 mg may be administered every 12 hours: streptococcal pharyngitis, skin and skin structure infections, and uncomplicated cystitis in patients over 15 years of age. Cystitis therapy should be continued for 7 to 14 days. <P> Respiratory tract infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes (Penicillin is the usual drug of choice in the treatment and prevention of streptococcal infections, including the prophylaxis of rheumatic fever. <P> Antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cephalexin, or penicillin are used to treat strep throat.

temperature range for using roundup
|
<P> Roundup is a nonselective weed killer, usually applied to the foliage of weeds and other unwanted plants. To ensure success, spray the weeds' leaves until they're completely wet, but not dripping. <P> Roundup is a systemic herbicide. That means it must be absorbed by the leaves. It moves down the plant and into the roots. This takes time. In about seven to 10 days plants sprayed with Roundup will begin turn yellow, after which they will die. <P> Cool weather and frost also reduce the ability of Roundup to kill weeds. Likewise, the effectiveness of Roundup declines at temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The best temperature to apply Roundup is between 60 degrees and 85 degrees. <P> Schedule spraying for moderate temperature. The effectiveness of Roundup decreases with very low or high temperatures. Choose a day for application with mild temperatures in the 65 to 75 degree F range. Applying herbicide on hot days causes quick evaporation of the weed killer from plant leaves. <P> Roundup Transorb® HC or Roundup WeatherMAX® herbicides should be applied at 0.67 L/ac for pre-harvest applications. Using 10 gallons of water per acre is recommended for dense crop canopies and for weeds that are hidden by the crop, such as dandelions. <P> Roundup is effective on grasses and broadleaf weeds. Donning your armor of long sleeves and pants, safety glasses and plastic gloves, you're ready to do battle with the never-ending weeds in your garden. Wielding your sprayer filled with Roundup (glyphosate), you briskly step outside into the chilly morning air. While you may wonder if it's too cold to spray those weeds, according to the manufacturer the ideal temperature for applying Roundup is between 53 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. <P> If you’re using Roundup ® Weed & Grass Killer, spray the weeds on the leaves, not the soil. The formula enters the plant’s system via the leaves and travels through the plant’s circulatory system into the roots. People and pets can re-enter the treated area once the spray has dried.

<P> Cost Object. Definition: A cost object is an item for which a cost is compiled. For example, this can be a product, service, project, customer, or activity. Cost objects are used in activity-based costing analyses as the focal point of cost accumulations. <P> Definition: A cost object is a product produced by a company for which a separate measurement of cost is desired. A cost object can also be a project, a service, or a customer. A cost object is a management accounting or cost accounting term and is used when allocating direct and indirect costs. <P> cost object. A cost object is often a product or department for which costs are accumulated or measured. For example, a product is the cost object for direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. The factory maintenance department is a cost object for the cost of the maintenance employees and the maintenance supplies. Later the factory maintenance department costs will be assigned to products, which are also cost objects. <P> A cost object is a seven-digit number used to categorize the costs and revenues associated with a particular project or activity at MIT. The terms cost object and cost collector are used interchangeably. <P> Cost object is anything in relation to which user of cost information wants to measure cost. It can be a product or collection of products or even a unit of product.

what age do puppies start getting teeth
|
<P> At about eight weeks of age, the puppy’s permanent teeth begin pushing out the milk teeth. The roots of the baby teeth are absorbed by the body, and in most cases, milk teeth simply fall out. Permanent teeth replace the milk teeth tooth for tooth, but in addition add four premolars and ten molars. Most pups will have 42 permanent teeth in place by about seven months of age. When the deciduous teeth don't fall out on time, the puppy may appear to have a double set of teeth. <P> Adult teeth start to form at 4 months of age.. Puppies are born without teeth and get their puppy teeth between the 6 and 8th week of life and grow 28 teeth (called deciduous or baby teeth). The first teeth to emerge are the incisors at 2 to 3 weeks followed by the canines and the premolars. Puppies do not have molars <P> Like humans, dogs also gradually lose their baby teeth. Puppies, like new-born babies, are born without teeth. Canines will not grow their first baby teeth till they reach about six to eight weeks of age. Dogs normally grow as many as 28 teeth, which are commonly referred to as the baby teeth or the deciduous teeth. <P> Growth Stages of Puppy teeth. The growth stages of puppy teeth begins around 6-8 weeks of age. At birth, puppies do not have any teeth. When their first teeth begin coming in they start biting at their mother's nipples. It is at this time when they are ready to be weaned. <P> Puppies start to get their puppy teeth at the age of 3 to 4 weeks. They will start with 28 puppy teeth. These teeth will be replaced with their 42 permanent adult teeth at about the age of four months. Dogs have four different types of teeth: Yorkie puppies will start to lose their deciduous or baby teeth when the permanent or adult teeth come in. The permanent or adult grow when the Yorkie puppies are 4 to 8 months old. By around 8 months old, those teeth should fully develop. <P> Almost without exception, puppies are born without teeth. Deciduous teeth, or milk teeth begin to appear at about three weeks of age. By six to eight weeks of age, the puppy will have a full set of 28 baby teeth. During teething, your puppy may target all kinds of unexpected objects to gnaw and chew to relieve the discomfort. Most pups will have 42 permanent teeth in place by about seven months of age. When the deciduous teeth don't fall out on time, the puppy may appear to have a double set of teeth. <P> Newborn Teeth. Puppies are initially born without teeth. They do not receive their first puppy teeth until they reach the age of between six and eight weeks old. They grow a total of 28 teeth, which are known as baby teeth or deciduous teeth. <P> When puppies are born, they have no teeth because milk is the only food they need. The deciduous teeth will grow from the age of 3 to 8 weeks old, in the order of incisors, canine/ fangs and premolars. Yorkie puppies have no molar teeth. Yorkie puppies will start to lose their deciduous or baby teeth when the permanent or adult teeth come in. The permanent or adult grow when the Yorkie puppies are 4 to 8 months old. By around 8 months old, those teeth should fully develop. <P> Puppies are born without teeth, but start to grow them in 2 - 3 weeks. At 8 weeks they will have a full set of 28 teeth, but some breeds may have less or more. Around 4 to 5 months of age, puppies will start to lose their baby teeth and their permanent teeth begin to grow in.

what is the cause of myasthenia gravis
|
<P> Myasthenia gravis is caused by the body's antibodies impairing transmission of nerve impulses to muscles, resulting in fluctuating weakness and fatigue. Acute attacks can be life threatening because of swallowing or breathing difficulties. <P> Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body. <P> Myasthenia gravis is caused by a defect in the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles. It occurs when normal communication between the nerve and muscle is interrupted at the neuromuscular junction -- the place where nerve cells connect with the muscles they control. <P> Thymectomy, the surgical removal of the thymus gland (which often is abnormal in individuals with myasthenia gravis), reduces symptoms in some individuals without thymoma and may cure some people, possibly by re-balancing the immune system. <P> Myasthenia gravis is caused by a defect in the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles. It occurs when normal communication between the nerve and muscle is interrupted at the neuromuscular junction—the place where nerve cells connect with the muscles they control. <P> Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body. <P> Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body. <P> The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest. Certain muscles such as those that control eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, chewing, talking, and swallowing are often, but not always, involved in the disorder. <P> Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder, in which circulating antibodies cause weakness by blocking acetylcholine receptors at the post-synaptic neuromuscular junction, inhibiting the stimulative effect of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. <P> Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic, complex, autoimmune disorder in which antibodies destroy neuromuscular connections. This causes problems with communication between nerves and muscle, resulting in weakness of the skeletal muscles.

<P> Protist Kingdom. The Protist Kingdom consists of mostly unicellular organisms that can have characteristics similar to plants, animals or fungi. Characteristics of Protists: mostly unicellular, few multicellular, eukaryotic, can be heterotrophic or autotrophic. Ex: algae, Paramecium, kelp (multicellular). . A kingdom of mostly Multicellular organisms that obtain energy by breaking down substances in their surroundings and absorbing them. Characteristics of Fungi: mostly multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic. Ex: mushrooms, bread mold (Multicellular) yeast (un <P> A unicellular organism, also known as a single-celled organism, is an organism that consists of only one cell, unlike a multicellular organism that consists of more than one cell. Historically the simple single celled organisms have sometimes been referred to as Monads. Some organisms are partially uni-and multicellular, like Dictyostelium discoideum. The other can be unicellular and multinucleate, like Myxogastria and Plasmodium. Candidatus Magnetoglobus multicellularis, related to Deltaproteobacteria, is a multicellular prokaryote. <P> Prokaryotes, most Protista, and some fungi, are unicellular. Although some of these organisms live in colonies, they are still unicellular. These organisms live together, and each cell in the colony is the same. However, each individual cell must carry out all life processes to survive. Some organisms are partially uni-and multicellular, like Dictyostelium discoideum. The other can be unicellular and multinucleate, like Myxogastria and Plasmodium. Candidatus Magnetoglobus multicellularis, related to Deltaproteobacteria, is a multicellular prokaryote. <P> Unicellular organisms are organisms that have one cell. They are divided into two quite different types, from different classification kingdoms. 1 The prokaryotes, bacteria and archaea, have cells with no nucleus and a simple cell structure. 2 Eukaryotes have a nucleus, and a more complex cell structure. <P> You've already chosen the best response. 2. KINGDOM ARCHAEBACTERIA: They are unicellular prokaryotes with distinctive cell membranes as well as biochemical and genetic properties that differ from all other kinds of life. Many Archaebacteria live in harsh environments. KINGDOM EUBACTERIA: They are unicellular prokaryotes. Most of the bacteria (Germs) that affect your life are members of the Kingdom Eubacteria. KINGDOM PROTISTA: These organisms are placed here more because of what they are not than what they are. Kingdom Protista contains all Eukaryotes that are NOT Plants, Animal, or Fungi, more than 50,000 species in all. Kingdom Protista includes unicellular and a few simple multicellular Eukaryotes. Eukaroyotic cells have nuclei and organelles that are surrounded by membranes. The cells of multicellular protists are not specialized to perform specific functions in the organisms. KINGDOM FUNGI: Fungi are Eukaryotes, and most are multicellular. The cells of fungi have cell walls that contain a material called chitin. <P> Living organisms are frequently divided into five kingdoms. Multicellular organisms fall within three of these kingdoms: plants, animals and fungi. Kingdom Protista contains a number of organisms that may at times appear multicellular, such as algae, but these organisms lack the sophisticated differentiation typically associated with multicellular organisms. <P> A kingdom of bacteria that contains mostly free-living bacteria. Characteristics of Eubacteria are: unicellular, prokaryotic, common bacteria, live in water, soil, animals. A kingdom of mostly Multicellular organisms that obtain energy by breaking down substances in their surroundings and absorbing them. Characteristics of Fungi: mostly multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic. Ex: mushrooms, bread mold (Multicellular) yeast (unicellular). <P> Animalia is the kingdom that consists only of complex multicellular eukaryotic organisms. 3 people found this useful. Edit.

In addition plants are autotrophs, organisms that make their own food. With over 250,000 species, the plant kingdom is the second largest kingdom. Plant species range from the tiny green mosses to giant trees. Slime molds and algae are protists. Sometimes they are called the odds and ends kingdom because its members are so different from one another. Protists include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, not animals, not plants and not fungi. Most protists are unicellular.

Thomas Edison is usually credited with the invention of the light bulb, but the famous American inventor wasn't the only one who contributed to the development of this revolutionary technology. The first practical incandescent light bulb. Edison and his team of researchers in Edison's laboratory in Menlo Park, N.J., tested more than 3,000 designs for bulbs between 1878 and 1880. In November 1879, Edison filed a patent for an electric lamp with a carbon filament. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: 1850 Joseph W.

what does haumea mean
|
<P> 2003 EL61 -- now known as Haumea -- is one of the strangest known objects in the solar system. It is a big across as Pluto, but shaped like a cigar. Or perhaps like a football [American-style]. Or, most accurately, a football that has too little air in it and has been stepped on. <P> Haumea is the third closest dwarf planet from the Sun and is unique in its elongated shape making it the least spherical of the dwarf planets. Mass: 4,006,000,000,000 billion kg (0.00066 x Earth). <P> Like Pluto and Makemake, Haumea is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt. Its actual discovery is a controversial topic in the world of astronomy. A team of astronomers from Caltech first published the discovery online on July 20, 2005 using data they collected on May 6, 2004. <P> In Hawaiian mythology, Haumea is the goddess of fertility and childbirth. She is the mother of Pele, Kāne Milohai, Kā-moho-aliʻi, Nāmakaokaha'i, Kapo and HiʻiakaikapolioPele. She was a powerful being, and gave birth to many creatures, some after turning herself into a young woman to marry her children and grandchildren. <P> [ 3 syll. hau-mea, ha-um-ea ] The baby boy name Haumea is also used as a girl name. Its pronunciation is HH-uw-M EH-ah †. Haumea is largely used in the Hawaiian language and its origin is also Hawaiian. The name's meaning is cold thing; sacred birth. It is derived from the elements 'hau' meaning cold; 'mea' thing; 'hanaumea' sacred birth. See Haumea for more information. Haumea is an infrequently used baby name for boys.

what is aerobic respiration explanation
|
<P> Aerobic respiration. Definition. noun. (1) A form of cellular respiration that requires oxygen in order to generate energy. (2) The process of generating energy by the full oxidation of nutrients through Krebs cycle where oxygen is the final electron acceptor. Supplement <P> The process in which glucose is converted into CO2 and H2O in the presence of oxygen, releasing large amounts of ATP. This process includes the krebs cycle, electron transport chain, and oxidative phosphorylation. <P> Aerobic respiration is the process most living things undergo to use food energy. Here we will investigate the definition, the steps of the process, what goes in and what comes out of the process, and the chemical formula. Get ready to breathe! Summary. What was built by photosynthesis, glucose, is broken down during aerobic respiration, releasing electrons in the process, which are crucial 'workers' in the manufacturing of ATP. During photosynthesis, the products of aerobic respiration are then taken in as reactants in building more glucose. <P> Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. <P> During aerobic respiration, oxygen is present, and helps the process to crank out energy very efficiently. Some organisms can also undergo anaerobic respiration, in which oxygen is absent and a somewhat less efficient method of metabolism takes place. Summary. What was built by photosynthesis, glucose, is broken down during aerobic respiration, releasing electrons in the process, which are crucial 'workers' in the manufacturing of ATP. During photosynthesis, the products of aerobic respiration are then taken in as reactants in building more glucose. <P> Respiration is a series of reactions in which energy is released from glucose glucose: A simple sugar made by the body from food, which is used by cells to make energy in respiration. Aerobic respiration is the form of respiration which uses oxygen. It can be summarised by this equation: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy). Energy is shown in brackets because it is not a substance. Notice that: 1 Glucose and oxygen are used up. 2 Carbon dioxide and water are produced as waste products. <P> Definition. Respiration is the metabolic process of most living things in which food molecules (glucose) are turned into usable energy for the cell (ATP). It is the anti-process to photosynthesis, in which plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide to build food molecules, releasing oxygen as a waste product. Summary. What was built by photosynthesis, glucose, is broken down during aerobic respiration, releasing electrons in the process, which are crucial 'workers' in the manufacturing of ATP. During photosynthesis, the products of aerobic respiration are then taken in as reactants in building more glucose. <P> Not to be confused with Lactic acid fermentation. Anaerobic respiration is a form of respiration using electron acceptors other than oxygen. Although oxygen is not used as the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain; it is respiration without oxygen. In order for the electron transport chain to function, an exogenous final electron acceptor must be present to allow electrons to pass through the system

who coined the term learned helplessness
|
<P> The term learned helplessness was coined by psychologists Martin Seligman and Steven Maier in 1967 to describe the behavior of dogs who, after experiencing inescapable electric shocks behaved as if they were helpless. As with many terms in psychology, learned helplessness is both descriptive and explanatory. Learned helplessness describes a constellation of maladaptive passive behaviors that animals (dogs, rats, cats, fish, mice, and humans) frequently exhibit following exposure to uncontrollable events. One of the earliest, and perhaps most fertile, explanations of learned helplessness as a cause of depression was Lyn Abramson, Seligman, and John Teasdale’s 1978 reformulation of learned helplessness theory using concepts from Bernard Weiner’s attribution theory. <P> Battered person syndrome is a physical and psychological condition of a person who has suffered (usually persistent) emotional, physical, or sexual abuse from another person. It is classified as ICD-9 code 995.81 Battered person syndrome not elsewhere classified (NEC). The condition is the basis for the battered spouse defense that has been used in cases of physically and psychologically abused spouses who have killed their abusers. The battered person syndrome first rose to prominence in the 1970s, when it was used as a legal defense for abused women who murdered their husbands in a pre-meditated fashion. <P> Learned Helplessness & the Will of God. Learned helplessness is a term coined by a well-known psychologist named Martin Seligman, PhD. Ignatius Loyola, Francis of Assisi, and Teresa of Calcutta gave in to learned helplessness after experiencing failures. We often hear the phrase, “to do the will of God” and “turn it over to God.” For some this brings peace and the internal strength to make decisions that promote health, goodness, and charity. <P> Learned Helplessness. BIBLIOGRAPHY. The term learned helplessness was coined by psychologists Martin Seligman and Steven Maier in 1967 to describe the behavior of dogs who, after experiencing inescapable electric shocks behaved as if they were helpless. As with many terms in psychology, learned helplessness is both descriptive and explanatory. <P> In other words the person has been taught that nothing he or she can do will make a difference, that they can do nothing right, that others know better than they do, and that they have little or no power and control over either their own lives or external events. The term was coined by Martin Seligman. This is from the Wikipedia entry (Jan 2008) on learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is a psychological condition in which a human being or an animal has learned to believe that it is helpless in a particular situation. It has come to believe that it has no control over its situation and that whatever it does is futile. The theory of learned helplessness was then extended to human behavior, providing a model for explaining depression, a state characterized by a lack of affect and feeling. Depressed people became that way because they learned to be helpless. <P> The use of Appreciative Advising can be related to the earlier research by Seligman (1975) who coined the term “learned helplessness,” which was later changed to “learned optimism.” The former includes students who have an external locus of control and a belief that they have no influence over their own destiny. <P> It refers to a pattern of thinking learned from past experience that encourages the development and sustaining of depression. Learned helplessness manifests itself in phrases like, “I can’t”, “It’s too hard”, and “Why bother.” It tempts a person to give up taking positive action to improve ones quality of life. Spiritually, practicing learned helpless prevents holiness. Think of what would have happened if Sts. Ignatius Loyola, Francis of Assisi, and Teresa of Calcutta gave in to learned helplessness after experiencing failures. We often hear the phrase, “to do the will of God” and “turn it over to God.” For some this brings peace and the internal strength to make decisions that promote health, goodness, and charity. <P> Martin Seligman and his colleagues coined the term learned helplessness in the late 1960s. They had observed that laboratory animals subjected to various ordeals from which they could not escape lost the will to help themselves even when escape became possible. You believe your actions are largely futile, and you've little real power to change your situation. Learned helplessness is a condition of resignation. You feel like you've been banging your head against a brick wall, and there's simply no point in trying any further. <P> Most of the dogs who had been unable to escape the previous shocks did not even try to escape despite having the option to do so in the new experiment. Seligman coined the term Learned Helplessness to describe the condition of the dogs who failed to escape even when escape was possible.

what is microscopic polyangiitis
|
<P> Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is an uncommon disease. It is the result of blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis), which can damage organ systems. The areas most commonly affected by MPA include the kidneys, lung, nerves, skin, and joints. MPA is not a form of cancer, it is not contagious, and it does not usually occur within families. Evidence from research laboratories strongly supports the idea that the immune system plays a critical role in MPA such that the immune system causes blood vessel and tissue inflammation and damage. <P> Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA) is a rare form of vasculitis that mainly affects small and medium-sized blood vessels. <P> Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is vasculitis of small vessels. It was initially considered as a microscopic form of polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). In 1990, the American College of Rheumatology developed classification criteria for several types of systemic vasculitis but did not distinguish between polyarteritis nodosa and microscopic polyarteritis nodosa. Vasculitis in small vessels, including arterioles, capillaries, and venules, a characteristic of MPA, is absent in polyarteritis nodosa. This absence is the proposed distinguishing feature between MPA and PAN. <P> Overview. Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a disorder that causes blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis), which can lead to organ damage. The kidneys, lungs, nerves, skin, and joints are the most commonly affected areas of the body. MPA is diagnosed in people of all ages, all ethnicities, and both genders <P> Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), also known as Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), is a systemic disorder that involves both granulomatosis and polyangiitis. It is a form of vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) that affects small-and medium-size vessels in many organs. <P> Microscopic Polyangiitis. Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a small vessel vasculitis which primarily affects the arterioles (small arteries), capillaries and venules (small veins). Since patients with this condition often have a positive blood test known as an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), it is also a form of “ANCA-associated vasculitis”. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA/Wegener’s) is a related condition that shares features with MPA including the presence of ANCA. <P> Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA) is inflammation of the small and sometimes medium sized blood vessels. In the past MPA was thought to be a type of PAN and patients would have been told they had PAN. It is now recognised that they are separate diseases. In microscopic polyangiitis it is common for the smallest blood vessels (capillaries) of the lungs and kidneys to be damaged leading to reduced kidney function or kidney failure and breathlessness. <P> Microscopic polyangiitis (microscopic polyarteritis) is a form of necrotizing small vessel vasculitis that most often affects venules, capillaries, arterioles, and small arteries, although it occasionally involves medium-sized arteries. Microscopic polyangiitis is the most common cause for pulmonary-renal vasculitic syndrome. The vasculitis in patients with microscopic polyangiitis is pathologically indistinguishable from the vasculitis of Wegener's granulomatosis and Churg-Strauss syndrome. <P> Microscopic Polyangiitis: A condition which is characterized by inflammation of microscopic blood or lymph vessels. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Microscopic Polyangiitis is available below. <P> Microscopic polyangiitis (also known as microscopic polyarteritism, Microscopic polyarteritis nodosa, MPA) is an ill-defined autoimmune disease characterized by a systemic, pauci-immune, necrotizing, small-vessel vasculitis without clinical or pathological evidence of necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. Signs and symptoms [edit]. Clinical features may include constitutional symptoms like fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, and kidney failure. A majority of patients may have blood in the urine and protein in the urine. Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis may occur.

what is stoneware
|
<P> Stoneware is a vitreous or semi-vitreous ceramic made primarily from stoneware clay or non-refractory fire clay. 1 Crouch Ware-A light-coloured Staffordshire salt-glazed stoneware from the early 18th century. 2 It is credited as being one of the earliest examples of stoneware made in England. 3 It was made from a clay from Crich, Derbyshire, the word crouch being a corruption. <P> 1 Traditional stoneware-a dense and inexpensive body. 2 It is opaque, can be of any colour and breaks with a conchoidal or stony fracture. 3 Traditionally made of fine-grained secondary, plastic clays which can used to shape very large pieces. 1 Crouch Ware-A light-coloured Staffordshire salt-glazed stoneware from the early 18th century. 2 It is credited as being one of the earliest examples of stoneware made in England. 3 It was made from a clay from Crich, Derbyshire, the word crouch being a corruption. <P> 10 hilariously insightful foreign words. Stoneware is a type of clay that has been fired at extremely high heat to produce durable, chip-resistant material that is capable of withstanding day-to-day use. Numerous types of dishes, mugs, platters, bowls, and plates are made of it, mostly due to its strength. Creating stoneware usually begins with giving the clay a distinct shape, either with the use of a pottery wheel or by hand. After the desired shape has been formed, the piece is normally left to dry out completely. Once dry, a clear or colored glaze may be applied. <P> The main difference between stoneware and porcelain is that stoneware dinnerware only has one firing at the same temperature. It also uses a different type of clay. Another main difference between porcelain and stoneware is that stoneware can have other colors than white, including blue. Because porcelain and stoneware can be used in ovens and microwaves, they are considered more versatile than bone china. It is always best to consider how the dinnerware will be used before purchasing; if you are interested in fancy dinnerware for special occasions, bone china can work well. <P> Dinnerware is made of several substrates, but most often seen is porcelain, stoneware (ceramic), and bone china. With distinct differences between them, they are important to know before purchasing for your home or business. First, vitrification must be explained. Bone China tends to be slightly translucent in nature and is often used in thin walled pieces, exhibiting a delicate, refined look. Porcelain or stoneware pieces are a wise choice for home or business use for durability and versatility. Bone China pieces may be left for special occasions if needed. It is best to consider your usage and budget before purchasing items for your home or business, and make an educated choice for your dinnerware <P> Write a guide. When choosing among the different types of dinnerware, it is important to understand what makes each unique, including both the pros and cons of each. The three types of dinnerware that buyers will encounter most often include porcelain, stoneware, and bone china. Because porcelain and stoneware can be used in ovens and microwaves, they are considered more versatile than bone china. It is always best to consider how the dinnerware will be used before purchasing; if you are interested in fancy dinnerware for special occasions, bone china can work well. <P> Five categories of stoneware have been suggested: 1 Traditional stoneware-a dense and inexpensive body. 2 It is opaque, can be of any colour and breaks with a conchoidal or stony fracture. 3 Traditionally made of fine-grained secondary, plastic clays which can used to shape very large pieces. 1 Crouch Ware-A light-coloured Staffordshire salt-glazed stoneware from the early 18th century. 2 It is credited as being one of the earliest examples of stoneware made in England. 3 It was made from a clay from Crich, Derbyshire, the word crouch being a corruption. <P> Basically everyday dinnerware comes in a few different materials which include earthenware, stoneware, porcelain, glass or plastic. The most expensive everyday dinnerware sets are going to boast features such as chip resistant and made of the most durable porcelain and stoneware. Stoneware is a lot more-chip resistant than earthenware because it is fired at higher temperatures. Its always going to be less white then other materials because its made out of clay that’s brown and gray but it can be glazed for a much whiter look.

how to prep for gestational diabetes test
|
<P> If the 1-hour blood test indicates your blood sugar is too high, you will be asked to return for a three-hour glucose test to determine if you have gestational diabetes. 1 You will need to take the three-hour glucose test if your glucose level is above 140 mg/dl (see next step). 1 A test result of 100-125 mg/dl is considered to be in the prediabetic stage and you are at a higher risk of developing diabetes. 2 A test result of 126 mg/dl or higher is considered diabetic. 3 If your results are positive for diabetes, your doctor will initiate a treatment plan for you to begin. <P> One hour later, you'll have a blood test to measure your blood sugar level. A blood sugar level below 130 to 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 7.2 to 7.8 millimoles per liter (mmol/L), is usually considered normal on a glucose challenge test, although this may vary by clinic or lab. If your gestational diabetes is difficult to control, it may affect the placenta and endanger the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the baby. Your doctor will also conduct tests to monitor your baby's well-being during your pregnancy. <P> The most common test for gestational diabetes is the initial glucose challenge test, in which your blood sugar is tested after you drink a glucose solution. If it is higher than normal, you will receive a follow-up glucose challenge test, for which you will need to fast eight hours beforehand. <P> In most circumstances, you'll learn you have gestational diabetes as the result of routine screening during your pregnancy. If your blood sugar tests high, you'll likely be asked to come in for an appointment promptly. You'll also have more-frequent regular prenatal appointments to monitor the course of your pregnancy. 1 When you make your appointment, ask if you need to fast for blood work or do anything else to prepare for diagnostic tests. 2 Write down symptoms you're having, including those that may seem unrelated to gestational diabetes. 3 You may not have noticeable symptoms, but it's good to keep a log of anything unusual you notice. <P> 1. Eat a normal and healthy diet for a few days prior to your test. 1 The glucose test determines how your body regulates and processes insulin. 2 You should continue to eat normally and not make any drastic changes to your diet in an attempt to pass the test. 3 Eating a balanced diet is best. 1 Some doctors ask you to fast from midnight the day of your diabetes screen. 2 Others will not. 3 It is important to find out what the doctor who will be doing your test asks of you. <P> The results should be available in a few days. If the reading is too high, which happens 15 to 23 percent of the time, you'll be asked to come back for a three-hour glucose tolerance test to see whether you really do have gestational diabetes. Ultrasound exam. Find out what doctors look for and how ultrasound exams are done. Gestational diabetes is a high blood sugar condition that some women get during pregnancy. Between 2 and 5 percent of expectant mothers develop this condition, making it one of the most common health problems <P> 1 The glucose test determines how your body regulates and processes insulin. 2 You should continue to eat normally and not make any drastic changes to your diet in an attempt to pass the test. 3 Eating a balanced diet is best. 4 Include carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, grains and rice in your diet. 1 Some doctors ask you to fast from midnight the day of your diabetes screen. 2 Others will not. 3 It is important to find out what the doctor who will be doing your test asks of you. <P> The one hour glucose test you really dont need to fast because it is not a fasting test.

Cigerattes have glucose in them too. <P> If your blood sugar level is higher than normal, it only means you have a higher risk of gestational diabetes. You'll need a glucose tolerance test to determine if you have the condition. 1 Follow-up glucose tolerance testing. 2 You'll fast overnight, then have your blood sugar level measured.

how much cooked pasta can a diabetic eat
|
<P> So, if your carbohydrate goal for supper is 45 grams, you can have 1 cup of pasta. Granted, if you spend your carbs on pasta, it doesn’t leave much room for bread, fruit, milk, or dessert. For this reason, it’s not hard to understand why some people just avoid it altogether. <P> A serving of pasta, which is one carbohydrate choice (15 grams of carbohydrate), is one-third of cup of cooked pasta. That’s barely enough for a squirrel. But unless you’re on an ultra-low-carb diet (hopefully you’re not), chances are that you have more than 15 grams of carbohydrate to “spend” at your meal. <P> When you count carbs in foods that you cook, you will have to measure the portion of food after cooking it. For example, cooked long grain rice has 15 grams of carbohydrate per 1/3 cup. If you eat a cup of cooked long grain rice, you will be eating 45 grams of carbohydrates. <P> Dreamfields pasta is one example of a lower-carb pasta; this contains more fiber (in the form of inulin) and protein than traditional pasta. The company claims that 2 ounces (roughly 1 to 1 ½ cups cooked) contains just 5 digestible grams of carbohydrate, so there’s no glucose spike after eating it. <P> A Toby Smithson, Nutrition & Dietetics, answered on behalf of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Yes, you can eat pasta if you have diabetes. Pasta is a source of carbohydrate with 1/3 cup cooked pasta containing 15 grams of carbohydrate (1 carb choice). <P> As a carbohydate-containing food, pasta is safe to consume when following a diabetic diet; however, because 1/3 cup equals 15 grams of carbohydrate, the amount of pasta in one meal should not exceed 1 cup, or 45 grams of carbohydrate. <P> As a member of the grains food group, pasta contains a significant amount of starch, a complex form of carbohydrate. One diabetic serving of pasta is 1/3 cup of cooked pasta, or the equivalent of 15 grams of carbohydrate. One serving of pasta also contains fiber, another complex carbohydrate which helps to control blood sugar. Whole-wheat pasta contains the most fiber: roughly 3 to 5 grams of fiber per serving.

what is the average cost of cataract surgery
|
<P> The cost of cataract surgery depends on many variables, such as the type of procedure you have and the intraocular lens (IOL) implanted in your eye. The area where you live also can be a factor, depending on cost-of-living standards that help set the typical price of cataract surgery. (In 2010 the average was about $3,279, in 2011 it was $2,699, in 2012 it was $3,429 and in 2013 it was $3,230.). If you want a high-tech, presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens for your cataract procedure, then costs would increase to an average of about $4,591 per eye (vs. $4,461 in 2010, $4,337 in 2011, $4,269 in 2012 and $4,350 in 2013) <P> Since it no longer requires days in the hospital, the cost of cataract surgery has decreased. According to a study by AllAboutVision.com, the average cost of cataract surgery in 2012 was $3,429 per eye. With many insurances, this price can lower to $500-600. There are some reasons you may be charged more, however. During the average cataract surgery, the surgeon implants an intraocular lens (IOL). <P> How much is the cost of cataract surgery? 1 On average, the physician services, facility services, and anesthesia services can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $5,500 per eye without health insurance. 1 A premium eye lens is going to cost more than a standard lens. 2 A premium lens can cost upwards of $750 to $1,500 extra per eye. 3 AllAboutVision.com claims that the surgery without insurance averages $4,461.47, while those with Medicare and insurance can expect to pay anywhere from $528 to $947. <P> 1 On average, the physician services, facility services, and anesthesia services can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $5,500 per eye without health insurance. 2 A premium eye lens is going to cost more than a standard lens. 3 A premium lens can cost upwards of $750 to $1,500 extra per eye. 1 A premium eye lens is going to cost more than a standard lens. 2 A premium lens can cost upwards of $750 to $1,500 extra per eye. 3 AllAboutVision.com claims that the surgery without insurance averages $4,461.47, while those with Medicare and insurance can expect to pay anywhere from $528 to $947. <P> 1 Within five years after cataract surgery, one in four patients develop cloudiness on part of the lens capsule that remains in the eye after surgery; to correct this, a five-minute procedure, called YAG laser capsulotomy, is needed. 2 This typically costs $250 to $450 and usually is covered by insurance. Cataract surgery is used to correct a clouding of the lens of the eye that affects vision and usually is caused by aging. Surgery sometimes is recommended when cataracts have caused blurring of vision too severe to be improved with new glasses, better lighting, anti-glare sunglasses or a magnifying glass. Typical costs: <P> 1 For patients not covered by health insurance, cataract surgery typically costs $5,000 to $10,000 per eye, for a total of $10,000 to $20,000 for both eyes. 2 For example, at Park Nicollet, a hospital in Minneapolis, Minn., it costs about $4,365 per eye -- a total of $8,730 for both eyes. Cataract surgery is used to correct a clouding of the lens of the eye that affects vision and usually is caused by aging. Surgery sometimes is recommended when cataracts have caused blurring of vision too severe to be improved with new glasses, better lighting, anti-glare sunglasses or a magnifying glass. Typical costs: <P> 1 An average additional charge of $2,188 per eye for a premium, presbyopia-correcting IOL, if you already have Medicare coverage for basic cataract surgery costs. 2 An average additional charge of $607 per eye, if you need an extra surgical procedure to correct mild astigmatism. (In 2010 the average was about $3,279, in 2011 it was $2,699, in 2012 it was $3,429 and in 2013 it was $3,230.).

The average cost of Cataract surgery in a Medicare outpatient setting is generally around $2,500.00/eye for the surgeon, the out patient facility, and the anesthesia provider. Medicare would pay 80% or $2,000.00/eye and you would pay the remaining $500.00 out of pocket

how long do seeds take to germinate

<P> It depends on which seed you have. Generally seeds take between 7 and 14 days to germinate. There are of course exceptions, some varieties can germinate within 2 days if con … ditions are right, where as others can take literally years to germinate-even if conditions are right. 15 people found this useful. <P> Concerning how long does grass seed take to grow, if the conditions are good and the variety of grass used is of the type that grows fast, within a week’s time the result may be a lush green patch in the lawn. While it may not be properly grown yet the visible result may take about two to three weeks. The normal duration at which the seed of the grass germinates is between 6 to 10 days after the seed has been planted. However it can also take from minimum 4 days to maximum forty days. The climate condition during which the seed is sown is also very essential for the seeds to germinate faster and to grow. The seed of the grass germinates faster with the availability of proper light, water and nutrition of soil. Excess of heat, over irrigation and over-use of pesticides and insecticides may kill the germination. A temperate and warm condition is most favorable for no matter how long does grass seed take to grow. <P> The length of time it takes a seed to germinate depends on a range of factors. Some of the most important are: The range of germination times generally varies from as little as one day (e.g. for some mustard seeds) to over one year (e.g. for some trees). Generally seeds take between 7 and 14 days to germinate. There are of course exceptions, some varieties can germinate within 2 days if con … ditions are right, where as others can take literally years to germinate-even if conditions are right. 15 people found this useful. <P> Within that 10-day period, you will notice that some seeds germinate right away and others take a little bit longer. The amount of time does not really have anything to do with how healthy your plant will be in the long run. It usually has more to do with the placement of the seed and where its root sprouted. Marijuana seeds need the following to get the best germination rates: Moisture-Keep things moist but not soaking (you can soak hard seeds for up to 24-32 hours, but do not leave seeds soaking in water for longer than that). Peace-Seeds need to be left alone while you're waiting for the taproot to show up. <P> Seeds stored in paper envelopes dry out a lot, and take a long time to rehydrate. Most should germinate in 21-40 days. Seeds stored in plastic bags after drying 24-48 hours and then refrigerated germinate much quicker. Mine stored that way germinate within 3-21 days. Don't give up too quickly. <P> Plant a lot of seeds to increase your chances. Average time to germination: 4 weeks to 6 weeks. (Depending on variety and conditions). But, I'll know first hand in probably a week when I get my own seeds and start the journey of tryng to germinate my own seeds. These seeds take a very long time to germinate and grow under normal conditions. Please be patient with them and give them up to 2 months to germinate. Lightly water only when the soil is dry and give them some sunlight. <P> If stored in a cool, dry place, grass seed can last for 2-3 years. However, the germination rate (the number of seeds that will grow) will decrease over time, so you may not get the same results you would if you were using fresh seed. For best results, use fresh product and try to plant it within a year. <P> If you want to plant (or have recently planted) seeds and want to know how long it will be before you start to see some green shoots, there is no quick answer. In temperate countries, most commercially sold garden flower seeds can be expected to germinate in somewhere between 14 to 30 days. Generally seeds take between 7 and 14 days to germinate.

how long can bed bugs go without eating
|
<P> A bed bug can take in six times its weight in human blood during a typical nighttime meal, and feeding can take from 3 to 12 minutes. How long can bed bugs survive without a blood meal? Nymphs can survive without food for up to 90 days without feeding; adults can survive up to one year or longer without feeding. <P> Adult bed bugs can survive a full year without feeding, going into a semi hibernation state until activated by the CO2 from a blood source. Normal life cycle for a bed bug is up to a year and a half, while younger bed bugs can go about a month or two without a blood source before dying. <P> Adults can live several months without feeding. Nymphs canlive up to 3 months without feeding. During the winter bed bugs can survive long periods without feeding.In the laboratory at 10% humidity and 44° Fahrenheit, bed bugs have survived as long as 560 days without a blood meal. HOW OFTEN DO THEY FEED? Under normal conditions, bed bugs feed approximately once every week. <P> There is a great debate as to how long bed bugs can live. Some scientists new to the study of bed bugs are challenging historic published research showing that bed bugs do not survive as long as previously published. Others believe that published data short changes the bed bugs ability to live a long life. <P> Bed bugs are active at night and generally hide during the day. After mating, females lay white, oval eggs (1/16-inch long) into cracks and crevices. An individual bed bug can lay 200-250 eggs in her lifetime. The eggs hatch in about 6-10 days and the newly emerged bed bug nymphs seek a blood meal. <P> It appears that bed bugs are similar to other animals even including humans: survival depends on genetics, exposure, food sources, and the environment. Without a doubt, bed bugs can survive over a year. They can also survive that time without a blood meal.

<P> Wernicke's Area. Wernicke's area, named for German neurologist Dr. Karl Wernicke, is located at the end of the temporal lobe of the brain. This area has been credited for receptive language, the ability to receive communication through vision and hearing. Human language has long been believed to be controlled by two primary sections of the left hemisphere of the brain, Broca's area and Wernicke's area. Each area was named for the 19th century physician who discovered its role in communication <P> Language and the Human Brain. By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD. The human brain is divided into two hemispheres. The left hemisphere is the logical brain and is involved in language and analysis and the right hemisphere is the creative brain, involved in daydreaming and imagination. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body while the right hemisphere controls the left side. Broca's area is an area in the frontal lobe of the brain that is related to the production of speech. The area is named after Pierre Paul Broca who noticed an impaired ability to produce speech in two patients who had sustained injury to the region. Reviewed by Sally Robertson, BSc. <P> Save. Human language has long been believed to be controlled by two primary sections of the left hemisphere of the brain, Broca's area and Wernicke's area. Each area was named for the 19th century physician who discovered its role in communication <P> Broca's area and Wernicke's area are connected by a large bundle of nerve fibres called the arcuate fasciculus. This language loop is found in the left hemisphere in about 90% of right-handed persons and 70% of left-handed persons, language being one of the functions that is performed asymmetrically in the brain. <P> When Tan died, Broca examined his brain and found that there was damage to part of the left frontal cortex. This part of the brain has come to be known as Broca's Area.. In 1876, Karl Wernicke found that damage to a different part of the brain also caused language problems. This area of the brain (Wernicke's Area), was further back and lower in the brain compared to Broca's area. In fact, Wernicke's area is in the posterior part of the temporal lobe. In most people (97%), both Broca's area and Wernicke's area are found in only the left hemisphere of the brain. In the early 1950s, the famous neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield and his colleague Herbert Jasper, described how electrical stimulation of certain areas of the brain blocked language. <P> Broca’s (expressive or motor) Aphasia. Damage to a discrete part of a the brain in the left frontal lobe (Broca’s area) of the language-dominant hemisphere has been shown to significantly affect use of spontaneous speech and motor speech control.

peer learning meaning
|
<P> One of the most visible approaches to peer learning comes out of cognitive psychology, and is applied within a mainstream educational framework: Peer learning is an educational practice in which students interact with other students to attain educational goals.. <P> In conclusion, peer learning is learner-centred education that transcends content knowledge acquisition. Peer learning optimises student learning outcomes and provides a more holistic, value-added and quality-enhancing education that will better prepare students for the needs of the workforce in this millennium. <P> It is important to consider who are the 'peers' in peer learning. Generally, peers are other people in a similar situation to each other who do not have a role in that situation as teacher or expert practitioner. They may have considerable experience and expertise or they may have relatively little. <P> Whether it takes place in a formal or informal learning context, in small groups or online, peer learning manifests aspects of self-organization that are mostly absent from pedagogical models of teaching and learning. <P> In this context, it can be compared to the practices that go by the name cooperative learning. However, other contemporary views on peer learning relax the constraints, and position peer-to-peer learning as a mode of learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything.. <P> Students in reciprocal peer learning are by definition peers, and so there is less confusion about roles compared with situations in which one of the 'peers' is a senior student, or is in an advanced class, or has special expertise. <P> The posting below looks at a still underutilized resource, students learning from other students. It is from Chapter 1, Introduction: Making the move to peer learning, in Peer Learning in Higher Education: Learning From & With Each Other, edited by David Boud, Ruth Cohen & Jane Sampson. <P> ‘Peer learning’ is a form of cooperative learning that enhances the value of student-student interaction and results in various advantageous learning outcomes. To realise the benefits of peer learning, teachers must provide ‘intellectual scaffolding’. <P> Peer learning is an educational process where peers interact with other peers interested in the same topic. It is when we learn with and from each other. We can do this formally, informally, while we are face to face, or online. <P> A bit about social learning and other learning theories-just a peek! The point of this section is to provide references for those who wish to understand the theory and research that sits beneath peer learning in the context of adult learning.

per diem rates for truck drivers
|
<P> The CONUS per diem rate for an area is actually three allowances: the lodging allowance, the meals allowance and the incidental expense allowance. Most of the CONUS (approximately 2600 counties) are covered by the standard CONUS per diem rate of $140 ($89 lodging, $51 meals and incidental expenses). In fiscal year (FY) 2016, there continue to be about 400 Non-Standard Areas (NSAs) that have per diem rates higher than the standard CONUS rat <P> 1 If a driver did not receive per diem pay they would do one of two things at tax time. 2 You either save all receipts for meals and incidental expenses and deduct 80% of those at tax time. 3 Or you would take the IRS standard deduction which is currently $59/day. 1 A driver's logbook can be used to verify you are elgible for per diem pay by demonstrating the amount of time you spent on the road during the year. 2 The drivers paycheck is split into 2 parts: regular cents-per-mile earnings (taxed), and seperate per diem reimbursement (untaxed). <P> Per Diem Rates. Per diem rates refer to the rates set by the GSA (CONUS) or Department of State (OCONUS). Every location in the world has a per diem rate attached to it, and each per diem rate for each location changes with time. This is all explained in detail in IRS Publication 463. Per diem rates refer to the rates set by the GSA (CONUS) or Department of State (OCONUS). Every location in the world has a per diem rate attached to it, and each per diem rate for each location changes with time. <P> Rates vary by location. According to the U.S. General Services Administration, if a trucker is allotted $56 in per diem expenses a day, that breaks down to about $9 for breakfast, $13 for lunch, $29 for dinner and $5 for incidental charges. The per diem expenses are often necessary for truckers to do their jobs properly. A truck won't drive without gas, and a trucker can't work properly without food and other essentials vital for living and working. <P> One way that truck drivers can offset some of their earnings and receive a tax deduction is to use the per diem allowance established by the Internal Revenue Service. This information is published in IRS Publication 463 and establishes the limits for daily meal deductions that truck drivers can take. Employers, on the other hand, adhere to Publication 1542, which establishes the maximum per diem rates the employer can pay the employee as a reimbursement of expenses. This information is listed in Publication 1542 You can take a per diem deduction for meals and all incidental expenses as one expense, rather than itemizing them. As of 2013, the IRS standard per diem rate is $251 for all qualified high-cost locations and $170 for all other locations. <P> The trucking company will begin with the drivers’ base mileage rate and then they will apply the per diem tax reduction amount by a certain CPM rate. For illustration purposes, let’s use the reduction amount of 11.5 CPM. The drivers’ taxes will then be calculated on that reduced amount. <P> For travel post-September 30, 2012, the IRS-approved per diem rate for high-cost areas is $242 (reflecting $177 for lodging and $65 for meals and incidental expenses). The IRS-approved per diem rate for all other areas is $163 (reflecting $111 for lodging and $52 for meals and incidental expenses).

what is yarn slippage
|
<P> TECHNICAL BULLETIN Page 2 of 2 HOW TO MINIMIZE YARN SLIPPAGE Below are actions that can be taken for minimizing the problem of the yarn slippage along the stitch-line. It is our experience that this is normally much worse in seams sewn parallel with the warp, than with seams sew perpendicular to the warp. <P> This test method is used to determine the resistance to slippage of filling yarns over warp yarns, or warp yarns over filling yarns, using a standard seam. <P> Seam Slippage is the movement of yarns in a fabric that occurs when it is pulled apart at a seam.. The ASTM D3511-02 is a test method of the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM). This test utilizes nylon bristles to rub the surface of the test fabric for a specific amount of time. <P> Seam Slippage: Seam slippage is a fabric problem especially for fabrics that contain slippery yarns or that have an open structure or where the number of warp and weft interlacings is low. Such factors mean that one set of yarns may be easily pulled through the other. <P> Seam slippage depends upon the stitch rate, the weave structure of the fabric and the width of the seam allowance. There is another term called 'yarn slippage' which measures the shifting of warp yarn over weft yarn to render the garment unusuable. Yarn slippage depends upon a low number of warp or filling yarn, two shallow seam allowance, too tight a fit and improper seam construction. Find Pictures of Seam Quality Defects here. <P> ASTM D434 (D-434) covers the determination of the resistance to slippage of filling yarns over warp yarns, or warp yarns over filling yarns, using a standard seam. <P> 1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the resistance to slippage of warp yarns or filling yarns in woven upholstery fabrics, when testing for yarn slippage at the seam. 1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard.

<P> Beta-Adrenoceptor Agonists (β-agonists). Beta-adrenoceptor agonists (β-agonists) bind to β-receptors on cardiac and smooth muscle tissues. They also have important actions in other tissues, especially bronchial smooth muscle (relaxation), the liver (stimulate glycogenolysis) and kidneys (stimulate renin release). Therefore, β-agonists mimic the actions of sympathetic adrenergic stimulation acting through β-adrenoceptors. Overall, the effect of β-agonists is cardiac stimulation (increased heart rate, contractility, conduction velocity, relaxation) and systemic vasodilation. <P> Beta (UK /ˈbiːtə/ or US /ˈbeɪtə/ ; uppercase β, lowercase β, or cursive ϐ; Ancient Greek: βῆτα bḗta or Modern Greek: βήτα vita) víta is the second letter of The greek. Alphabet In Ancient, greek beta represented the voiced bilabial /plosive/ . b The letter beta was derived from the Phoenician letter beth. The letter β had the largest number of highly divergent local forms. Besides the standard form (either rounded or pointed,), there were forms as varied as (Gortyn), and (Thera), (Argos), (Melos), (Corinth), (Megara, Byzantium), (Cyclades). <P> However, β+ decay cannot occur in an isolated proton because it requires energy due to the mass of the neutron being greater than the mass of the proton. β+ decay can only happen inside nuclei when the daughter nucleus has a greater binding energy (and therefore a lower total energy) than the mother nucleus. In β+ decay, or positron emission, the weak interaction converts an atomic nucleus into a nucleus with atomic number decreased by one, while emitting a positron (e+) and an electron neutrino (ν e). <P> Beta is used in finance as a measure of investment portfolio risk. Beta in this context is calculated as the covariance of the portfolio's returns with its benchmark's returns, divided by the variance of the benchmark's returns.

Besides the standard form (either rounded or pointed,), there were forms as varied as (Gortyn), and (Thera), (Argos), (Melos), (Corinth), (Megara, Byzantium), (Cyclades). <P> β-glucan (or beta-glucan) is a major component of water soluble cereal fibre and an important part of oat dietary fibre. β-glucans are non-starch polysaccharides composed of glucose molecules in long linear glucose polymers with mixed β-(1→4) and β-(1→3) links with an approximate distribution of 70% to 30%. The viscosity is related to the molecular weight and is strongly dependent on the concentration. Lyly et al. (2004) observed that with an oat β-glucan preparation of high-molecular weight (average MW = ca. 2,000,000), the maximum practicable concentration of β-glucan in a soup was 0.5 wt% (weight percent). <P> In nuclear physics, beta decay (β -decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which a proton is transformed into a neutron, or vice versa, inside an atomic nucleus. This process allows the atom to move closer to the optimal ratio of protons and neutrons. In β+ decay, or positron emission, the weak interaction converts an atomic nucleus into a nucleus with atomic number decreased by one, while emitting a positron (e+) and an electron neutrino (ν e). <P> General Pharmacology.

Overall, the effect of β-agonists is cardiac stimulation (increased heart rate, contractility, conduction velocity, relaxation) and systemic vasodilation. <P> In contrast to β − decay, β + decay is accompanied by the emission of an electron neutrino and a positron. β + decay also results in nuclear transmutation, with the resulting element having an atomic number that is decreased by one. In β+ decay, or positron emission, the weak interaction converts an atomic nucleus into a nucleus with atomic number decreased by one, while emitting a positron (e+) and an electron neutrino (ν e). <P> β (beta) of a transistor is the gain or amplification factor of a transistor. It is the factor by which current is amplified in the circuit. So if a transistor has a β of 100, the base current that goes into it is amplified by 100. So, if the base current, Ib, going into a transistor is 30μA, the emitter current will be. HTML Comment Box is loading comments..
