what can causes an audible wheezing
|
<P> In infants, wheezing that is audible without a stethoscope and that is not associated with respiratory distress is usually a sign of a congenital airway lesion. 16. Children can be examined in the parent's arms, if necessary. Wheezing in children is a common problem encountered by family physicians. Approximately 25 to 30 percent of infants will have at least one wheezing episode, and nearly one half of children have a history of wheezing by six years of age. <P> Wheezing is a high-pitched, coarse whistling sound that can occur when a person is breathing. Some wheezes are only heard with a doctor's stethoscope, but it is not uncommon for a wheeze to be heard with the naked ear. The causes of wheezing widely vary. They range from chronic, usually manageable conditions such as asthma to very serious conditions that include heart failure. The most common causes of wheezing include: 1 Asthma (a chronic respiratory condition that causes spasms in the bronchial tubes). 2 Bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes). 3 Bronchiolitis (most common in young children). 4 Smoking <P> Causes. Wheezing results from a narrowing of the airways and typically indicates some difficulty breathing. The narrowing of the airways can be caused by inflammation from asthma, an infection, an allergic reaction, or by a physical obstruction, such as a tumor or a foreign object that's been inhaled. The most common cause of recurrent wheezing is asthma. Possible causes of wheezing include: 1 Allergies <P> Wheezing: Causes, symptoms and treatment. Wheezing is a whistling sound that can be made while breathing that may be a symptom of a Congestive heart failure illness or other causes or conditions. If wheezing is accompanied with difficulty breathing, this may be a medical emergency. 1 You may have a respiratory infection such as acute bronchitis, or pneumonia. 2 Breathing is so difficult that you feel you are suffocating. 3 This can be a sign of a severe asthma episode or an allergic reaction (anaphylaxis); call 999 to get emergency medical help immediately. <P> It is difficult to always ascertain whether a sound is a stridor or a wheeze, and a stridor is often described as a wheeze by most people. There are a number of causes of wheezing and a stridor and some of the causes may overlap. It is therefore important to take note of other signs and symptoms or the results of clinical tests and diagnostic techniques to make a final diagnosis. 1 The mucus build up causes an irregular air passage, affecting the flow of air and resulting in abnormal breathing sounds like a wheeze or stridor. 2 Common childhood respiratory infections that cause stridor include bronchiolitisand croup. <P> While wheezing most often is caused by an obstruction or narrowing of the small bronchial tubes in the chest, it can also be caused by an obstruction in the larger airways or vocal chords. Wheezing is most obvious when a person is breathing out (exhaling), but can also be heard when breathing in (inhaling). The causes of wheezing widely vary. They range from chronic, usually manageable conditions such as asthma to very serious conditions that include heart failure. The most common causes of wheezing include: 1 Asthma (a chronic respiratory condition that causes spasms in the bronchial tubes). 2 Bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes). 3 Bronchiolitis (most common in young children). 4 Smoking <P> Select An Article.

If wheezing is accompanied with difficulty breathing, this may be a medical emergency. 1 You may have a respiratory infection such as acute bronchitis, or pneumonia. 2 Breathing is so difficult that you feel you are suffocating. 3 This can be a sign of a severe asthma episode or an allergic reaction (anaphylaxis); call 999 to get emergency medical help immediately. <P> To determine the cause of your wheezing, your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms and what triggers them. For example, if you have no history of lung disease and you always wheeze after eating a certain food or at a certain time of year, the doctor may suspect that you have a food or respiratory allergy. First off, see a doctor to determine the cause of your wheezing and then receive treatment for the specific cause. If wheezing is caused by asthma, your doctor may recommend some or all of the following to reduce inflammation and open the airways: 1 A fast-acting bronchodilator inhaler -- albuterol (Proventil HFA, Ventolin HFA), levalbuterol (Xopenex) -- to dilate constricted airways when you have respiratory symptoms

salary employees overtime new law
|
<P> The Obama Administration has announced plans to require overtime pay for salaried employees who earn less than $50,440 a year. Economic research shows that employers will offset new overtime costs by lowering base salaries. The Obama Administration has proposed significantly increasing the salary test from $455 a week ($23,660 a year) to $970 a week ($50,440 a year). Employers would have to track the hours and pay overtime to any salaried employee making less than this amount—no matter how advanced their job duties. <P> That means employees earning a yearly salary of $50,440 or less automatically would be eligible for overtime pay. Currently, the threshold is $455 a week, meaning a salaried worker making more than $23,660 a year does not automatically qualify for overtime pay under federal standards. The new overtime regulations would cover about 40% of the country’s full-time salaried workforce, officials say. In a conference call with reporters Tuesday, Labor Secretary Thomas Perez said the new rules could add as much as $1.3 billion nationwide to workers’ pockets. <P> Federal and state laws require most employers to pay overtime. The overtime premium is 50% of the employee's usual hourly wage. This means an employee who works overtime must be paid time and a half -- the employee's usual hourly wage plus the 50% overtime premium -- for every overtime hour worked. These laws contain many exceptions, so not all employees are entitled to <P> White House officials said that in California an employer cannot deny overtime pay to a salaried worker who makes less than $640 a week. In New York, the threshold is $600 a week. Under recently passed laws, the California threshold is set to rise to $800 per week in 2016, and the New York threshold to $675. <P> To figure out whether your employer has to pay overtime, first determine whether it's covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the federal wage and hour law that sets out the overtime rules. Generally, a business is covered by the FLSA if it has $500,000 or more in annual sales. You are entitled to a 50% premium for every overtime hour you work. For those hours, you must be paid time and a half: 150% of your regular rate of pay. To learn more about overtime pay, and other laws that protect you in the workplace, get Your Rights in the Workplace, by Barbara Kate Repa (Nolo). <P> Currently, that means workers with annual salaries of $37,440 or lower qualify for overtime pay. That threshold will rise to $41,600 in January, when the state’s minimum wage is raised to $10 an hour. In addition, California requires that employers pay time-and-a-half overtime when eligible workers reach more than eight hours in a day, even if they don't surpass 40 hours in a week. The new overtime regulations would cover about 40% of the country’s full-time salaried workforce, officials say. In a conference call with reporters Tuesday, Labor Secretary Thomas Perez said the new rules could add as much as $1.3 billion nationwide to workers’ pockets. <P> For residential employees, entitlement to overtime pay occurs for all hours worked beyond 44 hours in the workweek. For example, a non-residential employee who works 50 hours at a regular rate of $10.00 per hour must be paid $15.00 per hour for the ten overtime hours worked. 40 Regular Rate Hours. <P> The Obama Administration has announced plans to require overtime pay for salaried employees who earn less than $50,440 a year—despite the fact that economic research shows that employers will offset new overtime costs by lowering base salaries. The Obama Administration has proposed significantly increasing the salary test from $455 a week ($23,660 a year) to $970 a week ($50,440 a year). Employers would have to track the hours and pay overtime to any salaried employee making less than this amount—no matter how advanced their job duties. <P> The minimum wage required by federal law is $7.25 per hour, and New York state requires that as of December 31, 2013 employers pay employees $8.00, which is currently on track to increase to $8.75 on December 31, 2014 and $9.00 on December 31, 2015. <P> Employers must track the hours of any salaried employee eligible for overtime.

which pair of terms could apply to the same organism
|
<P> A. genotype determines phenotype (note that the environment does play a role in influencing phenotype too) B. phenotype determines genotype C. a phenotype is the physical appearance of a trait in an organism D. alleles are different forms of the same gene. 1. Each letter in the diagram stands for an allele (form of a gene). What's important to notice is that the letters can be in different forms (capital or lowercase) --- that is what we mean by allele --- and that the letters are lined-up in the same order along each hot dog --- I mean homologous chromosome. <P> Usually, the term is used in reference to the crossing of two pure breeding (homozygous) plants. a genetically inherited disease in children that results in chronic fluid development in the lungs, making breathing difficult. the genetically inherited condition in which there is a marked deficiency of pigmentation in skin, hair, and eyes. An individual with these traits is an albino.. Since the gene for albinism is recessive, it only shows up in the phenotype of homozygous recessive people. <P> The different forms of a gene. Y and y are different alleles of the gene that determines seed color. Alleles occupy the same locus, or position, on chromosomes. autosomal. A locus on any chromosome but a sex chromosome. Not sex-linked. Both alleles for a trait are the same in an individual. They can be homozygous dominant (YY), or homozygous recessive (yy). hybrid. heterozygous; usually referring to the offspring of two true-breeding (homozygous) individuals differing in the traits of interest. <P> In the context of biology, homology is the existence of shared ancestry between a pair of structures, or genes, in different species. A common example of homologous structures in evolutionary biology are the wings of bats and the arms of primates. Evolutionary theory explains the existence of homologous structures adapted to different purposes as the result of descent with modification from a common ancestor. <P> Organisms normally have equal amounts of the bases adenine and thymine (ratio of A:T = 1) and equal amounts of the bases cytosine and guanine (ratio C:G = 1). The r … eason is that there is specific base pairing ie adenine can only pair with thymine and cytosine can only pair with guanine. So in a DNA double helix, every adenine in one strand must be paired with a thymine in the other strand. SasuSaku is even less likely than N … aruHina because while Sasuke will be redeemed and most likely return to Konoha, even though Sakura still has feelings for Sasuke, for him to fall in love with Sakura seems incredibly unreal and VERY out of character for him and I wish SasuSaku fans would realize this. <P> Greg, there is a factor that makes pea plants tall, and another factor that makes pea plants short. Furthermore Greg ol' boy, when the factors are mixed, the tall factor seems to DOMINATE the short factor. Now, in our modern wisdom, we use allele or gene instead of what Mendel called factors. <P> The word homology, coined in about 1656, derives from the Greek ὁμόλογος homologos from ὁμός homos same and λόγος logos relation. In biology, two things are homologous if they bear the same relationship to one another, such as a certain bone in various forms of the hand. A common example of homologous structures in evolutionary biology are the wings of bats and the arms of primates. Evolutionary theory explains the existence of homologous structures adapted to different purposes as the result of descent with modification from a common ancestor. <P> DNANotes: DNA from all organisms is made up of the same chemical and physical that range in length from about 50 million to 250 million base pairs. many genes, the basic physical and functional units of heredity. is used as a t. In DNAs double helical structure, a base pair forms one rung of the DNA In the UK, 1 in 2500 people have CF and although there is no cure, . genome: A copy of all the DNA instructions used to make an organism. <P> Heterotroph and Herbivore because Heterotroph is an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances, while a Herbivore is an animal that feeds on plants. SasuSaku is even less likely than N … aruHina because while Sasuke will be redeemed and most likely return to Konoha, even though Sakura still has feelings for Sasuke, for him to fall in love with Sakura seems incredibly unreal and VERY out of character for him and I wish SasuSaku fans would realize this. <P> The physical appearance of an organism with respect to a trait, i.e. yellow (Y) or green (y) seeds in garden peas. The dominant trait is normally represented with a capital letter, and the recessive trait with the same lower case letter. pleiotropic. A single gene determines more than one phenotype for an organism. Both alleles for a trait are the same in an individual. They can be homozygous dominant (YY), or homozygous recessive (yy). hybrid. heterozygous; usually referring to the offspring of two true-breeding (homozygous) individuals differing in the traits of interest.

what is lupus disease and what causes it
|
<P> About Lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, heart, lungs, blood, kidneys, and brain. Normally, the body's immune system makes proteins called antibodies to protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other foreign materials. <P> Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system produces antibodies to cells within the body leading to widespread inflammation and tissue damage. 2. <P> With lupus, the immune system malfunctions and cannot distinguish between foreign invaders and healthy tissue. Antibodies are then produced against the body's healthy cells and tissues, causing inflammation, pain and damage in various parts of the body. <P> Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or lupus, is an autoimmune disease in which a person's immune system attacks various organs or cells of the body, causing damage and dysfunction. Lupus is called a multisystem disease because it can affect many different tissues and organs in the body. <P> Lupus is a classic autoimmune disease whereby a misdirected immune system leads to inflammation and injury to one's own body tissues. Lupus can involve the skin, joints, and internal organs. The heart, lungs, and kidneys can also be affected in some patients. <P> Lupus is an autoimmune disease, which means that the immune system mistakes the body's own tissues as foreign invaders and attacks them. Some people with lupus suffer only minor inconvenience. Others suffer significant lifelong disability.

<P> The League of Nations also took control of Germany's overseas colonies. Germany had to return to Russia land taken in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Some of this land was made into new states: Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. An enlarged Poland also received some of this land. <P> The Versailles Treaty, signed on June 28, 1919, was the peace settlement between Germany and the Allied Powers that officially ended World War I. The details of the Versailles Treaty had been debated and finalized at the Paris Peace Conference, which opened on January 18, 1919 - just over two months after the fighting on the Western Front ended. Although many diplomats from the Allied Powers participated, Germany was not invited to the conference. <P> On 28 June 1919, the peace treaty that ended World War I was signed by Germany and the Allies at the Palace of Versailles near Paris. Allied interests were represented by the ‘Big Three’: British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, French Premier George Clemenceau and US President Woodrow Wilson. The Treaty of Versailles was signed on 28 June 1919 - the date was the fifth anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, the event which sparked the outbreak of World War I. <P> The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty between the five nations, France, Germany, Britain, Austria-Hungary and the United States after World War I. <P> The financial impact of the Treaty. The Treaty of Versailles blamed Germany for the First World War. As a result of this Germany was also held accountable for the cost of the war and the Treaty dictated that compensation would have to be paid to the Allies. The Impact of the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was the Peace Settlement between the Allies and Germany at the end of the First World War. The German authorities had little choice but to accept the terms of the Treaty presented by 'the Big Three'. This section looks at some of the implications of the terms of the Treaty of Versaill <P> Report Abuse. The treaty of versailles is the treaty following World War 1, it put all the blame on Germany for the war even though Austria started it. The Treaty forced Germany to pay war reparations causing Germany to go into a depression setting the stage for Adolf Hitler to come to power. Report Abuse. The Treaty of Versailles was one of the peace treaties at the end of World War I. It ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, one of the events that triggered the start of the war. <P> Best Answer: Treaty of Versailles ended World War One, and established a system of war reparations (payments to the winning side) for Germany. Additiaonlly the treaty returned lands that the Germans had taken in the war back to the countries that had them to begin with. Report Abuse.

<P> It is healthiest to eat carbohydrates, vitamins, and other nutrients in the most natural form possible -- for example, from fruit instead of table sugar. Complex carbohydrates, often referred to as starchy foods, include: <P> Low-carb diets. Low-carbohydrate (low-carb) diets usually involve cutting out most starchy foods. These diets tend to be high in fat, and eating a high-fat diet (especially saturated fat from foods such as meat, cheese and butter) could increase your risk of heart disease. Starchy foods such as potatoes, bread, cereals, rice and pasta should make up about a third of the food you eat, as shown by the eatwell plate. Where you can, choose wholegrain varieties, or eat potatoes with their skins on for more fibre. Starch is the most common form of carbohydrate in our diet. <P> Formerly the name carbohydrate was used in chemistry for any compound with the formula C m (H 2 O) n. Following this definition, some chemists considered formaldehyde (CH 2 O) to be the simplest carbohydrate, while others claimed that title for glycolaldehyde. Today the term is generally understood in the biochemistry sense, which excludes compounds with only one or two carbons. <P> The term low-carbohydrate diet is generally applied to diets that restrict carbohydrates to less than 20% of caloric intake, but can also refer to diets that simply restrict or limit carbohydrates to less than recommended proportions (generally less than 45% of total energy coming from carbohydrates). Most vegetables are low-or moderate-carbohydrate foods (in the context of these diets, fiber is excluded because it is not a nutritive carbohydrate). Some vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, have high concentrations of starch, as do corn and rice. <P> Understanding Carbohydrates.

best time to take align probiotic
|
<P> Best Ways to Take Probiotics. There are numerous types of probiotic supplements and foods available these days making it a difficult task to determine which the best way to take probiotics is. It is not easy to choose the right product. Following are some tips to purchase probiotics. 1 Effective in Different Forms. <P> If you are taking a supplement, it is best to take it on an empty stomach when you wake up in the morning or before bed. When you first get up, take the probiotic, then get ready for the day preferably waiting at least 30 minutes before you eat breakfast. <P> Align probiotic supplement has been around for a very long time and is a popular recommended choice by gastroenterologists per a 2010 survey-Wolters Kluwer. Align is a basic maintenance probiotic supplement with 1 Billion CFUs of Bifidobacterium Infantis 35624 and trademarked under the name Bifantis. <P> Most of the OptiBac Probiotics range are best taken with a meal, and ideally with, or just before your breakfast. An important factor in a high quality probiotic is its ability to survive through gastric acidity. <P> Align is a good product and easy to find. It is packaged so that it does not need to be refrigerated, which makes it good for traveling or bringing to the office to take mid-day, if you prefer. Studies have shown the best time to take a probiotic is on an empty stomach before eating, preferably in the morning. <P> What is Align? Align is a probiotic supplement that provides live bacteria to benefit health, even relieving and managing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). When taken daily, Align provides ongoing relief of IBS symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, gas, and bloating. <P> Obviously, the use of probiotics in this fashion is primarily for the health of the mouth and sinus tissues, not just the gut. In summary, when consuming a probiotic to improve gut health, it is best to take it after a meal. <P> Best Time to Take Probiotics. Nowadays, various dietary supplements are also available that contain probiotics. Probiotics are usually given to treat problems of digestive upset and according to recent research and studies it is confirmed that taking probiotic foods and supplements may relieve digestive ailments. <P> If you’re not familiar with probiotics, probiotics are cultures of “good bacteria”. Your gut contains a combination of both good and bad bacteria. Probiotics help ensure a good balance of intestinal flora. When we use the word probiotic, most of the time it’s referring to a supplement.

cause of strangulated small bowel obstruction
|
<P> The most common causes are adhesions followed by tumors and hernias. Other causes include strictures, intussuseption, volvulus, Chrohn's disease, and gallstones. Obstruction is classified as small bowel obstruction (SBO) or large bowel obstruction (LBO) based on the level of obstruction. <P> Strangulation occurs in nearly 10 to 20% of people with small-intestinal obstruction. Usually, strangulation results when part of the intestine becomes trapped in an abnormal opening (strangulated hernia), volvulus, or intussusception. Gangrene can develop in as few as 6 hours. <P> A small-bowel obstruction (SBO) is caused by a variety of pathologic processes. The leading cause of SBO in industrialized countries is postoperative adhesions (60%), followed by malignancy, Crohn disease, and hernias. See the image below. <P> There are a variety of causes of intestinal obstruction: 1 strangulated hernia-part of your small intestine protrudes through your abdominal wall. 2 inflammatory disease like Crohn’s disease-swelling and scar tissue causes a narrowing of your intestine. 3 adhesions-scar tissue from a previous abdominal surgery. <P> Tumors, scar tissue (adhesions), or twisting or narrowing of the intestines can cause a bowel obstruction. These are called mechanical obstructions. In the small intestine, scar tissue is most often the cause. <P> A history of prior abdominal surgery is important to ascertain because adhesions are the most common cause of small bowel obstruction. Also important is a history gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn's disease. <P> Intestinal obstruction occurs when there is a blockage of your small or large intestine. The blockage prevents the passage of fluid or digested food. The blockage may be partial or total. There are many potential causes of intestinal obstruction. In many cases, this condition can’t be prevented. <P> A strangulated obstruction is a surgical emergency. In patients with a complete small-bowel obstruction (SBO), the risk of strangulation is high and early surgical intervention is warranted. Laparoscopy has been shown to be safe and effective in selected cases of SBO. <P> The most common causes of obstruction are adhesions, hernias, and tumors; a small-bowel obstruction in the absence of prior surgery or hernias is often caused by a tumor. Vomiting and third spacing of fluid cause volume depletion.

all biotic factors that affect the size of a population in a specific area
|
<P> Abiotic factors vary in the environment and determining the types and numbers of organisms that exist in that environment. Factors which determine the types and numbers of organisms of a species in an ecosystem are called limiting factors. Many limiting factors restrict the growth of populations in nature. <P> Biotic factors within a community can affect the populations of organisms but are also essential to the balance of life within the ecosystem. Examples of Biotic Factors: 1. Competition for food is an example of a biotic factor in an ecosystem. A red squirrel and a grey squirrel living in the same habitat will compete for the same food source. 2. <P> Abiotic factors, such as temperature, soil and light, can also influence an organisms success in an area. The tolerance range of an organism are the abiotic conditions in which an organism can survive. At both the high and low ends of the tolerance range an organism is stressed. <P> Biotic factors like organisms of other species living in the same area affect the population, as they involve in different types of food relationships. Different populations have different ability to tolerate changes in weather, physico-chemical and biotic factors. This is called resilence. <P> Other conditions may lead to a species’ decline or even extinction. Both abiotic and biotic factors determine where a species can live. A limiting factor is any factor that places an upper limit on the size of a population. <P> Biotic Factors Examples. Biotic Factors. Biotic factors affect populations of organisms. This is a term that is used in the study of ecology. The word root bio- means life, therefore a biotic factor is any activity of a living organism that affects another living organism within its environment. <P> Answers: Biotic Factors Biotic, meaning of or related to life, are living factors. Plants, animals, fungi, protist and bacteria are all biotic or living factors. Abiotic Factors Abiotic, meaning not alive, are nonliving factors that affect living organisms.

Metamorphism quartzite when changed is by formed is sandstone Unscramble
|
<P> Quartzite is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz. It forms when a quartz-rich sandstone, is altered by the heat, pressure, and chemical activity of metamorphism. These conditions recrystallize the sand grains and the silica cement that binds them together. <P> Quartzite is a tough stone composed mostly of quartz. It may be derived from sandstone or from chert by regional metamorphism. (more below). Quartzite forms in two different ways. In the first way, under the pressures and temperatures of deep burial, sandstone or chert recrystallizes resulting in a metamorphic rock. <P> 1 Quartzite falls into the classification of a metamorphic rock. 2 Its original material, sandstone in this case, has been altered by pressure and heat that transforms it into quartzite. 3 Buried deep inside the earth the sandstone adapts to the change in conditions by altering its texture and composition. 1 Its original material, sandstone in this case, has been altered by pressure and heat that transforms it into quartzite. 2 <P> Quartzite. Images: Background: Quartzite is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock that formed by the metamorphism of pure quartz sandstone. The intense heat and pressure of metamorphism causes the quartz grains to compact and become tightly intergrown with each other, resulting in very hard and dense quartzite. <P> Metamorphic rock can be formed from virtually any parent rock (protolith) that has been subjected to heat and/or pressure, modifying its texture or mineral composition. Quartz sandstone, when metamorphosed, becomes the metamorphic rock 'quartzite'. 1 person found this useful. Answered. <P> Metamorphic rock can be formed from virtually any parent rock (protolith) that has been subjected to heat and/or pressure, modifying its texture or mineral composition. Quartz sandstone, when metamorphosed, becomes the metamorphic rock 'quartzite'. 1 person found this useful. Quartz is a mineral composed of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2). It can therefore be formed as an igneous rock by itself (rarely) and is part of many sedimentary rocks such as sandst … one. Quartz sandstone can also be metamorphosed into quartzite. Quartz can be found as part of any rock or by itself as a sediments. <P> Quartzite. Quartzite is a metamorphic rock consisting largely or entirely of quartz. In vast majority of cases, quartzite is a metamorphosed sandstone. The transition from sandstone to quartzite is gradational. There is little mineralogical change. Quartz, the main constituent of sandstone, is not altered to other minerals but it is recrystallized during the metamorphism. This small sample of Jotnian quartzite from Finland is either strongly cemented sandstone or weakly metamorphosed quartzite. It is old (1.4 Ga) and a part of crystalline basement. Hence, it is usually considered to be a metamorphic rock. Width of the sample is 4 cm. <P> Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means change in form. The original rock (protolith) is subjected to heat (temperatures greater than 150 to 200 °C) and pressure (1500 bars), causing profound physical and/or chemical change. The protolith may be a sedimentary rock, an igneous rock or another older metamorphic rock. Other minerals, such as olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, micas, feldspars, and quartz, may be found in metamorphic rocks, but are not necessarily the result of the process of metamorphism. These minerals formed during the crystallization of igneous rocks. <P> 1 Quartzite is formed through two types of metamorphism: contact and Barrovian. 2 It can be formed by one of the processes or the other but it can also be formed by the combination of the two. 3 Barrovian metamorphism happens during large earth events that create mountains and move sedimentary rock in a big way. 1 Its original material, sandstone in this case, has been altered by pressure and heat that transforms it into quartzite. 2 Buried deep inside the earth the sandstone adapts to the change in conditions by altering its texture and composition.

buddhist awakening definition
|
<P> What exactly constituted the Buddha's awakening is unknown. It may probably have involved the knowledge that liberation was attained by the combination of mindfulness and dhyāna, applied to the understanding of the arising and ceasing of craving. In the western world the concept of (spiritual) enlightenment has taken on a romantic meaning. <P> The two crucial aspects of the Buddha's Awakening are the what and the how: what he awakened to and how he did it. His awakening is special in that the two aspects come together. He awakened to the fact that there is an undying happiness, and that it can be attained through human effort. In other words, he gained liberating knowledge through qualities that we can all develop: heedfulness, ardency, resolution. If we are willing to face the implications of this fact, we realize that the Buddha's Awakening is a challenge to our entire set of values. <P> The English term enlightenment is the western translation of the term bodhi, awakening, which has entered the Western world via the 19th century translations of Max Mueller. müller In the western world the concept of (spiritual) enlightenment has taken on a romantic meaning. <P> And it is also because spiritual enlightenment and spiritual awakening are such rich and complex experiences that they are innately hard to define. Some definitions are very specific and narrow. One such definition for spiritual enlightenment is the complete dissolution of one's identity as a separate self with no trace of the egoic mind remaining. This sets the bar very high and means that very few people qualify as enlightened. As for differentiating between the words enlightenment and awakening, enlightenment implies a more finished and constant state of realization, while awakening has more of the active quality of a verb and therefore suggests a movement or shift in consciousness. <P> In Theravada Buddhism, the ultimate goal is the attainment of the sublime state of Nirvana, achieved by practicing the Noble Eightfold Path (also known as the Middle Way), thus escaping what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Vajrayana, a body of teachings attributed to Indian siddhas, may be viewed as a third branch or merely a part of Mahayana. Tibetan Buddhism, as practiced in Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, the Himalayan region of India, Kalmykia, Mongolia and surrounding areas, preserves the Vajrayana teachings of eighth century India. <P> Awakening and Nibbana. This website presents spirituality which is Buddhist and offers a proven path to awakening. Awakening, or enlightenment, is a deep inner realization, a profound new perception of life, an overturning of former values and goals. <P> Theravada has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, etc.). Mahayana is found throughout East Asia (China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, etc.) and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Shingon, and Tiantai (Tendai).

Tibetan Buddhism, as practiced in Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, the Himalayan region of India, Kalmykia, Mongolia and surrounding areas, preserves the Vajrayana teachings of eighth century India. <P> This is not a question of choosing Asian culture over American. The Buddha's Awakening challenged many of the presuppositions of Indian culture in his day; and even in so-called Buddhist countries, the true practice of the Buddha's teachings is always counter-cultural.

<P> 3. Some patients may require more complex procedures. For instance, a colonoscopy at Raffles Hospital that does not require polyp removal usually costs $2,021. However, a colonoscopy that requires the removal of polyps with histology may cost $3,510 or more. Most colonoscopies are performed as day cases. <P> Most hospitals here carry out this procedure. With subsidies, the average bill for colonoscopy can cost between $300 and $700. Without subsidies, it is at least $1,000. The cost varies depending on the seniority of the doctor doing the procedure and if other tests are required. The Medisave withdrawal limit will be pegged at the prevailing withdrawal limit for day surgery procedures, at $950 for colonoscopy and $300 per day for associated daily hospital charges. <P> 1 Flexible sigmoidoscopy, which does not require sedation and can be performed in a doctor's office in 20 minutes or less, costs about $100 to $300, with an average of $200, according to The Kentucky Cancer Consortium and the Action Plan on Colorectal Cancer for the State of Texas. 1 For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs can range from zero to more than $1,000, depending on deductibles, copay and coinsurance amounts. 2 For example, a Medicare patient at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center would pay $1,477, including deductibles and coinsurance. <P> Overview. This is a special test using a flexible tube to look at the internal lining of the colon and rectum. It also allows biopsies to be taken. Your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy examination if you have symptoms suggesting possible problems in the colon or rectum. A colonoscope and its view of the colon. The entire procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes. There is little pain, though mild sedation is given when necessary to relieve anxiety and discomfort. Most patients can resume their regular diet later in the day. <P> What should be included: Additional costs: 1 During the procedure, the patient is sedated, then the doctor uses a flexible tube with a camera and light on it -- a colonoscope -- to examine the rectum and inside the full length of the colon. 2 If anything suspicious is found, the doctor can take a sample for biopsy. 1 For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs can range from zero to more than $1,000, depending on deductibles, copay and coinsurance amounts. 2 For example, a Medicare patient at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center would pay $1,477, including deductibles and coinsurance. <P> Twitter.

diatoms definition contain

<P> The frustule is composed almost purely of silica, made from silicic acid, and is coated with a layer of organic substance, which was referred to in the early literature on diatoms as pectin, a fiber most commonly found in cell walls of plants. This layer is actually composed of several types of polysaccharides. <P> DIATOM (Greek-cut in two) a mobile plant of microscopic single cell or colonial algae. Among the relatively simple forms of microscopic life are animals that cannot move and plants that can. One class of these mobile plants is known by the name of diatoms. <P> Morphology. Diatoms are algae with distinctive, transparent cell walls made of silicon dioxide hydrated with a small amount of water (Si02 + H20). Silica is the main component of glass and hydrated silica is very like the mineral opal, making these algae, often called algae in glass houses more like algae in opal houses. Diatoms have been placed in the division Bacilliariophyta, which is distinguished by the presence of an inorganic cell wall composed of hydrated silica. There are an estimated 20,000 to 2 million species of diatom on Earth. <P> Diatoms are a major group of algae, and are among the most common types of phytoplankton. Diatoms are unicellular, although they can form colonies in the shape of filaments or ribbons (e.g. Fragilaria), fans (e.g. Meridion), zigzags (e.g. Tabellaria), or stars (e.g. Asterionella). Diatoms are a widespread group and can be found in the oceans, in freshwater, in soils and on damp surfaces. Most live pelagically in open water, although some live as surface films at the water-sediment interface (benthic), or even under damp atmospheric conditions. <P> (Bacillariophyta), a division of algae comprising about 20,000 species. Diatoms are microscopic (0.75-1500 microns), unicellular, and solitary or colonial algae. Among the colonial forms are species that live in slimy pipes, forming brown clusters that reach 20 cm in height. Diatom cells have hard siliceous shells (frustules) consisting of two overlapping halves or valves. <P> The cell wall is called a frustule and consists of two halves called valves. Since silica is impervious, diatoms have evolved elaborate patterns of perforations in their valves to allow nutrient and waste exchange with the environment. Diatoms have been placed in the division Bacilliariophyta, which is distinguished by the presence of an inorganic cell wall composed of hydrated silica. There are an estimated 20,000 to 2 million species of diatom on Earth. <P> diatom. n. 1. (Microbiology) any microscopic unicellular alga of the phylum Bacillariophyta, occurring in marine or fresh water singly or in colonies, each cell having a cell wall made of two halves and impregnated with silica. diatom-microscopic unicellular marine or freshwater colonial alga having cell walls impregnated with silica. phytoplankton-photosynthetic or plant constituent of plankton; mainly unicellular algae. alga, algae-primitive chlorophyll-containing mainly aquatic eukaryotic organisms lacking true stems and roots and leaves. <P> Diatom cells are contained within a unique silica cell wall comprising two separate valves (or shells). The biogenic silica that the cell wall is composed of is synthesised intracellularly by the polymerisation of silicic acid monomers. This material is then extruded to the cell exterior and added to the wall. Diatoms are a widespread group and can be found in the oceans, in freshwater, in soils and on damp surfaces. Most live pelagically in open water, although some live as surface films at the water-sediment interface (benthic), or even under damp atmospheric conditions. <P> Similar to many other algae, they can live as unicellular organisms, colonial, or filamentous. Unlike most algae, though, they have a solid shells made of silica. Because of such shells, diatoms have major economic importance in industry while also having a major role in biological and chemical processes. Almost all of the extant and extinct species of Bacillariophyta are aquatic. All diatom skeletons are made of silica and consist of two parts or frustules that fit inside each other like a petri dish: the epitheca and the hypotheca (Alexopoulos, 1967). The hypotheca is smaller and fits inside the larger epitheca. <P> A unique feature of diatom cells is that they are enclosed within a cell wall made of silica (hydrated silicon dioxide) called a frustule. These frustules show a wide diversity in form, but are usually almost bilaterally symmetrical, hence the group name. Diatoms are a widespread group and can be found in the oceans, in freshwater, in soils and on damp surfaces. Most live pelagically in open water, although some live as surface films at the water-sediment interface (benthic), or even under damp atmospheric conditions.

how long does it take for a broken forearm to heal
|
<P> A useful rule of thumb is that the time taken for the bone to regain full strength is usually the same as the time it takes for the fracture to heal. That is, if you’ve been in plaster for six weeks, it will take six weeks to regain full strength. It's important not to get a plaster cast wet. It typically takes about six to eight weeks to heal in adults, and less time in children. Doctors refer to all breaks or cracks in bones as fractures. Go to your nearest accident and emergency (A&E) department if you think you or your child has broken a bone. <P> Dalia Mosseri. It takes about 6-8 weeks to heal, depending on the type of injury sustained. (Keep the finger as still as you can !!!!) When broken place the hand in ice cold water for … about 5 min.s then take it and wrap the whole hand in a soft wrap (anything that is a soft colth) . <P> Introduction. A broken arm or wrist is usually caused by a fall onto an outstretched arm. It typically takes about six to eight weeks to heal in adults, and less time in children. Doctors refer to all breaks or cracks in bones as fractures. Go to your nearest accident and emergency (A&E) department if you think you or your child has broken a bone. <P> A broken arm not only causes extreme pain, but it also keeps a person from using his arm for weeks and sometimes months at a time. Generally, the amount of recovery time depends on the severity of the break, the site of the break and how well the patient follows a physician's orders for treatment. <P> For most adult dogs or cats, broken bone healing time is 8 to 12 weeks. In puppies or kittens, broken bone healing time is 6 to 9 weeks. Complicated fractures can take as much as 16 weeks. Delayed Union and Non-Union Fractures. <P> The length of time it will take to heal will depend on the type of fracture, whether it's damaged the surrounding tissues, and the person's age. For example, a young child who's cracked their wrist will need to wear a cast or removable splint for just two to three weeks. It typically takes about six to eight weeks to heal in adults, and less time in children. Doctors refer to all breaks or cracks in bones as fractures. Go to your nearest accident and emergency (A&E) department if you think you or your child has broken a bone. <P> · just now. Report Abuse. It takes a good 6-8 weeks for a break to heal properly. A compound fracture, spiral fracture or complete break would take closer to 8 weeks. A greenstick fracture could heal in as little as 4-6. Report Abuse. Most broken bones begin to heal within 48 hours however depending on the type and severity of the break it could take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks to completely heal. <P> The length of time taken for healing depends on where the fracture is and how severe the break is. For example, a simple buckle fracture will need a plaster cast for 2 to 3 weeks and be almost completely healed in 4 weeks. Children heal in about half the time it takes an adult to heal from a similar injury. <P> In about 5 percent of patients, the bone does not heal after treatment; this is known as a non-healing fracture. These patients may require bone graft surgery to heal the fracture properly. After the six weeks it takes for the bone to heal, there is still an adjustment period. Most patients can resume strenuous physical activities, such as contact sports and skiing, between three and six months after the injury.

<P> Once your steak is ready to cook, set it aside. Adjust your oven rack so that the top of the steak will be about 4 inches (10cm) from the broiler heating element. Then turn the oven on to broil and preheat at 350f. <P> 1 Bring your 1 to 2 inch steaks to room temperature and use a clean cloth to remove excess moisture. 2 Move oven rack 6 inches from heating element. 3 Pre-heat oven and skillet by setting the oven to broiler for 15 to 20 minutes. 4 Rub steaks with olive oil, kosher salt and coarsely ground pepper. <P> Place the pan on the top rack, under the broiler. Let the steak broil for four minutes and then carefully flip it to the other side for another four minutes. If you're using a grill pan with raised ridges make sure you don't wiggle the steak around in the pan. You'll mess up the grill marks. After the steaks have broiled on each side, pull the pan out of <P> 1. Broil your steak. Place your steak into the oven on the rack closest to the broiler. Cooking times will vary greatly based on the cut of steak, cooking altitude, type of oven you're using, and how hot the broiler runs; cooking times can range from 3 to 18 minutes. <P> Set your oven to the broil setting. Use a broiler pan -- the kind with a grid where the fat from the meat can drain and won't smoke. Cover the bottom of the broiler pan (not the grid) with tin foil for less mess. Don't crowd. Give each steak its own space for even cooking and so you can easily flip it when it's time. <P> 1 Close oven and sear the steaks for 3 minutes on one side, turn and sear the opposite side for 3 minutes. 2 DO NOT USE A FORK TO TURN STEAKS! 3 Once seared, set the oven to 500F and cook using this Time Chart.

what is a sound designer
|
<P> Sound Design for Musicals often focuses on the design and implementation of a sound reinforcement system that will fulfill the needs of the production. If a sound system is already installed in the performance venue, it is the sound designer's job to tune the system for the best use for a particular production. Sound design most commonly involves the manipulation of previously composed or recorded audio, such as sound effects and dialogue. In some instances it may also involve the composition or manipulation of audio to create a desired effect or mood. <P> Exactly what that entails can vary considerably, depending on the type of show, the performers in the show and the performance venue. In practice there is no single job description that encompasses everything that the sound designer does, as they will adapt what they do to the demands of a specific production. The Sound Designer has to be a master of many different disciplines and technologies, and to have exceptional teamwork and people skills. 1 The Sound Designer may advise on how to best hear the performers, which may involve acoustic adjustments to the theatre and set, or the addition and configuration of radio and/or float mics for the performers. <P> Sound design is, simply, all the sound required for a movie. This includes all of the music, dialogue and sound effects, mixed and edited, for the final cut of the movie. <P> The sound designer plans and provides the sound effects in the play, including music from existing sources. In addition, a composer may write original music for the show. All the music and/or effects in a play considered as a whole make up the soundscape.. <P> Sound Designer. The lineage of the sound designer title can be traced back to Francis Ford Coppola, who granted the title to Walter Murch for his exceptional work in the creation of original sound effects and achievements in sound manipulation for Apocalypse Now. The process begins with a thorough reading of the script, then the sound designer participates in initial design meetings with the director, editor, and production sound mixer to conceptualize the audio aesthetic of the film or show and to identify specific sound effects or qualities the director wants to capture. <P> Basic Job Description: The Sound Designer is responsible for obtaining all sound effects, whether recorded or live for a specific production. He/She is also responsible for setting up the sound playback equipment and must make sure the board operator is properly trained. Sound Design is an artistic component of the production. <P> Sound designer is a illusive term with different meaning: (1) Sound designer are an artist who are brought on staff during the planning stages of a film, along with the set and costume designers, and who do their own mixing. The sound designer works with the director to shape an overall, consistent soundtrack that exploits the expressive possibilities of the sound medium. (2) Sound designer can also refer to a person brought on to create just one kind of effect. Ron Bochar was hired late in the post production of Wolf just to create the effects that accompanied Nicholson turning into a beast. <P> Sound design is the process of specifying, acquiring, manipulating or generating audio elements. It is employed in a variety of disciplines including filmmaking, television production, theatre, sound recording and reproduction, live performance, sound art, post-production, radio and video game software development. Sound design most commonly involves the manipulation of previously composed or recorded audio, such as sound effects and dialogue. In some instances it may also involve the composition or manipulation of audio to create a desired effect or mood. <P> Examples of Sound design-The eerie scream of an Alien, or the sound of the weapons going off in a video game. A sound designer is one who creates all the stunning sound SFX. Sound design requires both technological and artistic skills. <P> SDII (Sound Designer II, sometimes seen abbreviated as SD2) is a monophonic/stereophonic audio file format, originally developed by Digidesign for their Macintosh-based recording/editing products. It is the successor to the original monophonic Sound Designer I audio file format.

what do muscle cell do
|
<P> The cell membrane of a muscle cell is called the sarcolemma, and this membrane, like that of neurons, maintains a membrane potential. So, impulses travel along muscle cell membranes just as they do along nerve cell membranes. However, the 'function' of impulses in muscle cells is to bring about contraction. To understand how a muscle contracts, you need to know a bit about the structure of muscle cells. <P> A muscle fiber contains many myofibrils, which are cylinders of muscle proteins. These proteins allow a muscle cell to contract. Myofibrils contain two types of filaments that run along the long axis of the fiber, and these filaments are arranged in hexagonal patterns. There are thick and thin filaments. <P> A muscle cell is a special kind of cell that makes up an organism's muscle tissues. The muscles allow independent movement and regulate biological functions such as digestion and heartbeat. Skeletal muscle structure. Different types of muscle tissue. An organism's muscle tissue is composed of muscle cells. Multi-unit smooth muscle cells operate independently and single-unit, or visceral, smooth muscle cells operate together as a unit. Muscle mass can be gained artificially from injections of performance-enhancing drugs and hormones <P> Your cells are the energy converters for your body. Different cells have different jobs to do. Each cell has a size and shape that is suited to its job. Cells that do the same job combine together to form body tissue, such as muscle, skin, or bone tissue. Groups of different types of cells make up the organs in your body, such as your heart, liver, or lungs. <P> A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell) is the type of cell found in muscle tissue. Myocytes are long, tubular cells that develop from myoblasts to form muscles in a process known as myogenesis. There are various specialized forms of myocytes: cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells, with various properties. The striated cells of cardiac and skeletal muscles are referred to as muscle fibers. <P> Answer by Shania60. Confidence votes 21. the function of a muscle cell is, by definition, to move. this can be accomplished when the cell contracts. contracting makes it denser, which is why when you feel a relaxed muscle in your arm suddenly tense up, it hardens. <P> All that any muscle can do is create contraction force. A muscle is a bundle of many cells called fibers. You can think of muscle fibers as long cylinders, and compared to other cells in your body, muscle fibers are quite big. They are from about 1 to 40 microns long and 10 to 100 microns in diameter. These proteins allow a muscle cell to contract. Myofibrils contain two types of filaments that run along the long axis of the fiber, and these filaments are arranged in hexagonal patterns. There are thick and thin filaments. <P> Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals. Muscle cells contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell. Muscles function to produce force and motion. Muscle tissues are derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells in a process known as myogenesis. There are three types of muscle, skeletal or striated, cardiac, and smooth.

where is most of the nuclear power in the world kept
|
<P> 1 U-235 can fission in a reactor, and U-238 can't to a significant extent. 2 Natural uranium is 99.3 percent U-238 and 0.7 percent U-235. 3 Most nuclear power plants today use enriched uranium in which the concentration of U-235 is increased from 0.7 percent U-235 to (nowadays) about 4 to 5 percent U-235. 1 Most nuclear power plants today use enriched uranium in which the concentration of U-235 is increased from 0.7 percent U-235 to (nowadays) about 4 to 5 percent U-235. 2 This is done in an expensive separation plant of which there are several kinds. 3 The U-238 tails are left over for eventual use in breeder reactors. <P> Of the thirty countries in which nuclear power plants operate, only France, Belgium, Hungary and Slovakia use them as the primary source of electricity, although many other countries have a significant nuclear power generation capacity. Nuclear power stations operate in 31 countries. China has 28 new reactors under construction, and there are also a considerable number of new reactors being built in South Korea, India, and Russia. At the same time, at least 100 older and smaller reactors will most probably be closed over the next 10-15 years. <P> Paluel Nuclear Power Plant. The Paluel Nuclear Power Plant, located about 40km away from the city of Diepp, France, is currently the seventh largest NPP in the world, by net capacity. The plant is spread across 160ha on the water front of the English Channel and uses water from the Channel for the cooling. <P> The 5,448MW (gross) Cattenom Nuclear Power Plant is located in Cattnom, France. The power plant is owned and operated by EDF. The net capacity of the plant is 5,200MW, which is similar to that of Paluel NPP, the seventh largest nuclear power plant in the world.

In Pictures: The World’s Most Nuclear Nations. With 104 operating reactors, the United States produces more electricity with nuclear power than any of the 30 countries with that capability. In fact, it generates about the same amount of nuclear energy as the next largest producers, France and Japan, combined. <P> Nuclear power has kept growing in recent decades despite Chernobyl and various other disasters. Between 1996 and 2009, 49 new nuclear reactors started operation and 43 reactors were retired, according to the World Nuclear Association. <P> Most of the world's biggest nuclear power plants by net capacity are in East Asia. Regular inspection and safety measures have been stepped up at the large capacity nuclear power stations following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.

why are some rocks called intermediate rocks
|
<P> Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of a planet, surrounded by pre-existing rock (called country rock); the magma cools slowly and, as a result, these rocks are coarse grained. The mineral grains in such rocks can generally be identified with the naked eye. Igneous rock may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks. <P> Background: The term igneous comes from the Latin ignis, meaning fire. Igneous is used to describe rocks that crystallize out of hot molten material in the Earth called magma. When magma pushes up through Earth's crust to the surface, it is called lava. Both magma and lava cool and harden to form igneous rocks. <P> This is the extrusive or volcanic environment and results in extrusive or volcanic igneous rocks. Extrusive Environments. When magmas reach the surface of the Earth they erupt from a vent called a volcano. They may erupt explosively or non-explosively. Igneous Rocks are formed by crystallization from a liquid, or magma. They include two types. Magma is a mixture of liquid rock, crystals, and gas. Characterized by a wide range of chemical compositions, with high temperature, and properties of a liquid. <P> On the other hand an Intrusive igneous rock cools very slowly beneath the surface and is created by magma. Since the cooling process is very slow intrusive igneous rocks have very large crystals (coarse grained). In some instances there is also a third type of igneous rock. An Igneous rock is the product of cooled solidified magma/lava. As magma/lava cools it goes through the process of crystallization which turns it into an igneous rock. The amount of time it takes for an igneous rock to form depends on its location and its composition. <P> Intrusive Environments. Magma that cools at depth form bodies of rocks called intrusive bodies or plutonic bodies called plutons, from Greek god of the underworld-Pluto. When magma intrudes it usually affects the surrounding rock and is also affected by the surrounding rock. Igneous Rocks are formed by crystallization from a liquid, or magma. They include two types. Magma is a mixture of liquid rock, crystals, and gas. Characterized by a wide range of chemical compositions, with high temperature, and properties of a liquid. <P> Magma is the term for liquid or melted rock and is usually quite hot. After all, the term igneous comes from the Latin word for of fire. Most people have seen pictures or video of magma that flows out of a volcano. When magma flows onto the surface of the Earth it is called lava. When the lava cools and forms a rock, that rock is an igneous rock. But there are also rocks that form from magma that does not reach the surface of the Earth. These rocks form in what are often called plutons and are also types of igneous rocks. <P> Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Igneous rock may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks. This magma can be derived from partial melts of pre-existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust <P> Best Answer: Intermediate rocks contain between 53% and 65% silica. They also contain potassium and plagioclase feldspar with a small amount of quartz. <P> If magma makes it to the surface it will erupt and later crystallize to form an extrusive or volcanic rock. If it crystallizes before it reaches the surface it will form an igneous rock at depth called a plutonic or intrusive igneous rock. Igneous Rocks are formed by crystallization from a liquid, or magma. They include two types. Magma is a mixture of liquid rock, crystals, and gas. Characterized by a wide range of chemical compositions, with high temperature, and properties of a liquid.

how much of your salary should go to rent
|
<P> Relevance. Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: No more than 36% of your monthly income should go towards debt payments, including your mortgage. So if you're making $75K then $27K per year should go to your loan, or $2250 per month-that's how much you could afford to pay. But if you're married then your wife or husbands earnings will usually double this then. Learn more here: http://investmentpropertiesinfo.com/what... <P> Rule of thumb: Spend a fixed percentage of your income on housing. The general recommendation is to spend about 30% of your gross monthly income (before taxes) on rent. Therefore, if you’ll be making $4,000 per month, then your rent should be $4,000 x 0.3, or about $1,200. Another way to calculate this number is to divide your annual income by 40. Tips for making your housing budget work. If you are planning to live in a very expensive area, then 30% of your income (or 43% of your income minus student loan payments) might not be enough to rent even a small apartment. Some of the most expensive areas include much of California, New York City, Boston, and Washington, DC <P> How much should each of us budget from our pay checks? I believe no more than 1/4 of your paycheck should go towards rent. If you are paid I make about $4800/month and I currently pay $1180 towards rent, until my income goes up I would not pay more than $1200 for my place. Im 20 and im trying to save up and move to Atlanta..i live in new york how much money should i save a week. how much money should i have when i go. <P> Rent to Income. Landlords typically require that your annual income is at least 40 times the monthly rent. For example, if you and your roommate are looking at a $3,000 per month apartment, the landlord would require a combined income of $3,000 × 40, which equals $120,000. How Much Rent is Affordable? You might have also heard that you should spend no more than 30% of your annual income on rent. Spending 30% of your yearly income on rent is widely believed to be an affordable amount, leaving enough money for all your other expenses. <P> I would limit the rent cost to 30-35% of your monthly gross income if you have to pay your own utilites-if utilities are included in the rent then you can go up to 40% of your gross monthly income. 0 votes • Thank • Flag • Link • Wed May 30, 2012. Cancel. Reply. <P> For example, suppose you earn $50,000 a year, or $4,167 a month. If 35 percent of your income goes to rent, you'll be paying about $1,458 a month. But if only 25 percent goes to rent, the monthly payment is about $1,042 -- a savings of more than $400 a month. <P> When I first moved to Manhattan in 2002, my monthly rent was a mere $500 a month-or 15% of my take-home pay. Granted, I was sharing an apartment with a married couple and living north of 100th street (far from the cool, clubby downtown scene). <P> That’s 30% of your income after taxes. Whenever you’re budgeting, I recommend looking at your net income (what you take home after taxes), because those are the dollars you actually have to plan with. Based on your starting salary, that leaves approximately $600 per month for rent. Considering that the average monthly cost of a Manhattan studio is $2,277 (according to the Manhattan rental-market report in October 2014), I know that may feel like a massive stretch.

how long to rotisserie a pork loin
|
<P> 6. A meat thermometer should be used to ensure that the pork loin is in the middle of 160-170 degrees Fahrenheit on each end and in the middle. For pork 160 degrees Fahrenheit is medium well and 170 degrees Fahrenheit is well done. Below 160 degrees Fahrenheit you risk food poisoning or worm infection. Pieces of meat, such as a pork loin, that are larger than chops or steaks should be cooked on low, indirect heat at colse to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If your grill has vents in the lid, cook the pork with the vents open. 6. <P> Marinade the pork tenderloin in the sauce for an hour or more, up to 6 hours, in the refrigerator. Using butchers twine, tie the pork tenderloin to the rotisserie skewer securely. I laid one half on top of several pieces of twine, then put the skewer on top of that, then the other half of the loin on top of that. <P> 1 Calculate the weight of your roast by at least 20 minutes per pound or when the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. 2 Carefully remove your roast from the rotisserie, of the rod and onto a serving platter. 3 Let the meat stand undisturbed for 5-10 minutes and then carve the meat as usual. 1 Fit the pork roast snuggly onto the rotisserie rod as dead center as possible. 2 Calculate the weight of your roast by at least 20 minutes per pound or when the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. 3 Carefully remove your roast from the rotisserie, of the rod and onto a serving platter <P> 4. Remove your pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes. Put your meat on a cutting board, or a platter, and cover with tin foil to let the meat rest before carving it up. It'll be much juicer and more tender if you let it sit for a couple of minutes. <P> -- Rotisserie Oven: Interestingly adequate the pork loin will come out more tender and juicy when cooked in a rotisserie than whether the outdoor grill or broiler oven. A meat thermometer should still be used to be sure that the pork loin is in the middle of 160-170 degrees Fahrenheit on each end and in the middle. Pieces of meat, such as a pork loin, that are larger than chops or steaks should be cooked on low, indirect heat at colse to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If your grill has vents in the lid, cook the pork with the vents open. 6. <P> Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Remove the tenderloin from the bag and place in the center of grate. Discard bag with marinade. Cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. <P> Cooking. Cooking a rotisserie pork loin in a closed-top barbecue should take around 30 minutes per pound of pork. Whatever the weight of meat, check the internal temperature to make sure it's done. Barbecue pork can cause food poisoning if the center is left raw. <P> And a meat thermometer should be used to be sure that the pork loin is in the middle of 160-170 degrees Fahrenheit on each end and in the middle. For pork 160 degrees Fahrenheit is medium well and 170 degrees Fahrenheit is well done. Below 160 degrees Fahrenheit you risk food poisoning or worm infection. Pieces of meat, such as a pork loin, that are larger than chops or steaks should be cooked on low, indirect heat at colse to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If your grill has vents in the lid, cook the pork with the vents open. 6. <P> Set up the grill to cook with medium-high heat and let it warm up for 15 minutes with the lid closed; 2 layers of charcoal in the tray suffices. Slide the loin onto the rotisserie rod and set it in the turning rack. Roast the pork for 20 minutes per pound and check the internal temperature in the center. When it reaches 135 degrees F, take it out of the rotisserie and place on a tray. Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving it.

what is heart diseases
|
<P> Heart disease is one of several cardiovascular diseases, which are diseases of the heart and blood vessel system. Other cardiovascular diseases include stroke, high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and rheumatic heart disease. <P> Heart disease is an umbrella term for any type of disorder that affects the heart. Heart disease means the same as cardiac disease but not cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease refers to disorders of the blood vessels and heart, while heart disease refers to just <P> Heart disease describes a range of conditions that affect your heart. Diseases under the heart disease umbrella include blood vessel diseases, such as coronary artery disease; heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias); and heart defects you're born with (congenital heart defects), among others. <P> The term heart disease is often used interchangeably with the term cardiovascular disease.. Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. <P> Heart disease, or cardiovascular disease, is a general name for a wide variety of diseases, disorders and conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Source: CDC). <P> Heart and blood vessel disease — also called heart disease — includes numerous problems, many of which are related to a process called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition that develops when a substance called plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries. <P> Heart disease: Any disorder that affects the heart. Sometimes the term heart disease is used narrowly and incorrectly as a synonym for coronary artery disease. Heart disease is synonymous with cardiac disease but not with cardiovascular disease which is any disease of the heart or blood vessels. <P> Coronary heart disease—often simply called heart disease—is the main form of heart disease. It is a disorder of the blood vessels of the heart that can lead to heart attack. A heart attack happens when an artery becomes blocked, preventing oxygen and nutrients from getting to the heart. <P> The most common type of heart disease in the United States is coronary artery disease, which affects the blood flow to the heart and can cause a heart attack. The term heart disease refers to several types of heart conditions.

what is the average length of a arch bridge
|
<P> This list of the longest arch bridge spans ranks the world's arch bridges by the length of their main span. The length of the main span is the most common way to rank bridges as it usually correlates with the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge. <P> A large proportion of the statewide highway construction budget, usually in excess of 20%, is devoted to bridge construction. Typically, the FDOT completes between 100 and 200 bridges each year. As a rule of thumb, bridges from 20 to 45 feet in length are short span bridges. Bridges from 45 to 150 feet are medium span bridges, and those extending over 150 feet are long span bridges. In recent years, the overall trend has been an increase in bridge construction costs. However, a few categories of costs have decreased. <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This list of the longest arch bridge spans ranks the world's arch bridges by the length of their main span. The length of the main span is the most common way to rank bridges as it usually correlates with the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge. <P> The bridge is 8 inches long and 3 inches tall. I have added two load points with a total load of 100. This means the numbers you see act as percentages. For instance, the very middle of the top chord of the bridge is supporting 50% of the total load. The trick is to find that height, by balancing out these two factors. I was once told that the optimal height for an arch bridge is 1/6th the length of the span. That means if your bridge is 6 inches long, it should be 1 inch tall. My experience has confirmed that this is a very good starting place for an arch bridge <P> The typical span length of arch bridges range from 40 to 150 meters.The longest arch span in the world is the New River Gorge Bridge with a main span of 518 meters.3.4.3 What They Typically CostThe typical cost of arch bridges ranges from $4,000 to $5,000 US per square meter. Unlike girder and truss bridges, both ends of an arch are fixed in the horizontal direction and no horizontal movement is allowed in the bearing. Thuswhen a load is placed on the bridge, such as a passing car, horizontal forcesoccur in the bearings of the arch. <P> Arch Parsons Bridges ARCH BRIDGES Arch bridges are one of the oldest types of bridges and have great natural strength. Instead of pushing straight down as in the case of a beam bridge, rigidframe bridge or truss, the load supported by of an arch bridge is carried along the curve of the arch to the supports at each end. Unlike girder and truss bridges, both ends of an arch are fixed in the horizontal direction and no horizontal movement is allowed in the bearing. Thuswhen a load is placed on the bridge, such as a passing car, horizontal forcesoccur in the bearings of the arch. <P> The only difference is that this bridge is 4 inches tall, one inch taller than before. You can see in this second bridge that the middle section of the top chord is only holding 38% of the total load. All I did is increase the height of the bridge by one inch. The trick is to find that height, by balancing out these two factors. I was once told that the optimal height for an arch bridge is 1/6th the length of the span. That means if your bridge is 6 inches long, it should be 1 inch tall. My experience has confirmed that this is a very good starting place for an arch bridge <P> It does not mean the total length or overall length of multi-span bridges. If the lengths of several spans in one bridge are equal, it is mentioned in Notes column. Overall lengths are not included-only the longest spans. Year means the year of completion or intended completion. Longest Bridge Spans are categorised in the following tables according to the structural type of the main span. The Span means the main span of a bridge = centre to centre distance of adjacent towers, pylons, piers or supports given in metres [m]

ground temperature for grass seed germination
|
<P> The optimum soil temperature for germination and root growth of Bermuda grass is 75° to 80° F (24° to 27° C) - Higher temps are ok, provided moisture is maintained. • Site Selection: Plant Bermuda grass in full sun on well-drained soil. PLANTING BERMUDA GRASS When to Plant: Bermuda grass is a warm season turf grass. Plant Bermuda grass seeds in spring and summer when soil temperatures are consistently above 65° F (18° C). The optimum soil temperature for germination and root. growth of Bermuda grass is 75° to 80° F (24° to 27° C) - Higher temps are ok, provided moisture is maintained <P> Cool season grass such as Fescue, germinate best when the soil temperatures are between 50° and 65° degrees F. These soil temperatures usually occur when the daytime air temperatures are between 60° and 75° degrees. The fescue grasses, when planted properly, germinate within 10 to 14 days. When To Plant Fescue Grass. Fall is the best time to plant fescue and other cool season grass. Planting in the Fall presents the least risk of planting failure for cool season grass. Plant your cool season grass seed when the fall temperatures reach 75° and are dropping as winter approaches. <P> Temperature. Grass seed germinates when the soil temperature is 65 degrees and above. It's important to understand that it is the soil temperature, and not the surrounding air temperature, that is the trigger for seed germination. Grass seed that fails to germinate cannot grow into part of a lush green lawn, so it's important to sow seed when conditions are right for germination. Soil temperature, depth of planting and soil moisture are all key factors. Ensure the correct conditions when you seed your lawn for the best results. <P> Bermuda Grass can take anywhere from 7 days to over 30 days to germinate. This all depends on planting depths, rainfall and/or irrigation, and especially soil temperatures. Soil temperatures must be above 70° or higher for the seeds to begin the germination process. Until that time they will simply lay in the soil and rest. To have a 70° + degree soil temperature requires day time temperatures of 80°. The higher the soil temperature (with adequate moisture), generally the faster (sooner) the seeds will germinate. --- Bermudas need temperatures between 70° and 95° for germination. <P> Best Answer: 65 degrees or higher. Soil temperature that is, not air temperature... Added Info: The below chart taken from Penn State Dept. Of Crop And Soil Sciences website. My suggested temperature of 65 degrees or more, falls in mid-range for optimum seed germination. Also, the type of grass has alot to do with it. Generally, Warm Season grass seed requires the warmer soil temperatures. Even theCool season grass seed likes a warmer soil temperature for successfully germinating... The proof is in the puddin' and that's the truth! Table 1. Optimum temperatures for seed germination of cool-season turfgrasses <P> Grass seed not in good contact with the soil cannot warm up correctly for successful germination. Seeds rely on warmth and soil moisture to swell and sprout. If your seeds remain at their ideal temperature range and are planted no more than 1/4 inch deep, you should see germination after three weeks. It is critical to keep the top 1/2 inch of soil moist with a misty spray so the seeds continue to absorb moisture as the seedling grows larger. <P> Keep in mind that some warm-season grasses, including some cultivars of bermudagrass and St. Augustine grass, don't do well when planted from seed. The soil temperature range for most warm-season grasses is between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit and sometimes higher. Optimal air temperatures for warm-season grasses are 80 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Seed that is sown in the spring is almost certain to fail, according to the University of Missouri Extension. Air temperatures for cool-season grasses should be between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, with soil temperatures between 50 and 6 <P> Usually planted in the early fall, cool-season grass seeds prefer daytime temperatures ranging from 60 to 75 F. With this temperature range, the soil itself is usually between 50 and 65 F -- the right environment for germination. If your seeds remain at their ideal temperature range and are planted no more than 1/4 inch deep, you should see germination after three weeks. It is critical to keep the top 1/2 inch of soil moist with a misty spray so the seeds continue to absorb moisture as the seedling grows larger. <P> PLANT WHEN DAYTIME TEMPERATURES ARE BETWEEN 60 & 75 DEGREES: Cool season grasses grow best when the soil temperatures are between 50 and 65 degrees F. These temperatures usually occur when the daytime air temperatures are between 60 and 75 degrees. High temperatures of summer can cause these plants to go dormant and thus planting during summer is asking for problems.

<P> The enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, or Complex IV (EC 1.9.3.1), is a large transmembrane protein complex found in bacteria and the mitochondrion of eukaryotes. It is the last enzyme in the respiratory electron transport chain of mitochondria or bacteria located in the mitochondrial or bacterial membrane. <P> Electron carrier protein. The oxidized form of the cytochrome c heme group can accept an electron from the heme group of the cytochrome c1 subunit of cytochrome reductase. Cytochrome c then transfers this electron to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain. Plays a role in apoptosis <P> Cytochrome c. Cytochrome c. a type of cytochrome, a protein which carries electrons, that is central to the process of respiration in mitochondria (an organelle found in eukaryotes which produces energy). Please contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page. <P> It belongs to the cytochrome c family of proteins. Cytochrome c is a highly water soluble protein, unlike other cytochromes, with a solubility of about 100 g/L and is an essential component of the electron transport chain, where it carries one electron. It is capable of undergoing oxidation and reduction, but does not bind oxygen. Cytochrome c is a highly conserved protein across the spectrum of species, found in plants, animals, and many unicellular organisms. This, along with its small size (molecular weight about 12,000 daltons), makes it useful in studies of cladistics. Its primary structure consists of a chain of about 100 amino acids. <P> Cytochrome C. Cytochrome c is a highly conserved ~12 kDa protein consisting of a single 104 amino acid peptide with a single heme group, which is covalently attached to Cys 14 and Cys 17. Because of its ubiquitous nature and sequence homology, cytochrome c has been used as a model protein for molecular evolution. 1. Cytochrome c also participates in the cytosolic caspase proteolytic cascade of apoptosis as a component of the apoptotic protease activating factor (Apaf). The association of cytochrome c with Apaf-1 results in the formation of the apoptosome protein complex which can recruit and activate pro-caspase 9 (Apaf-3). <P> A gene on chromosome 7p15.3 that encodes cytochrome c, an electron carrier protein, which transfers electrons from the heme group of the cytochrome c1 subunit of cytochrome reductase to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain. <P> Cytochrome c is a component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria. The heme group of cytochrome c accepts electrons from the bc1 complex and transfers electrons to the complex IV. Cytochrome c is also involved in initiation of apoptosis. Cytochrome c is a highly conserved protein across the spectrum of species, found in plants, animals, and many unicellular organisms. This, along with its small size (molecular weight about 12,000 daltons), makes it useful in studies of cladistics.

<P> Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis. Transcription takes place in two broad steps. First, pre-messenger RNA is formed, with the involvement of RNA polymerase enzymes. DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. The genetic material is stored in the form of DNA in most organisms. In humans, the nucleus of each cell contains 3 × 10 9 base pairs of DNA distributed over 23 pairs of chromosomes, and each cell has two copies of the genetic material. This is known collectively as the human genome. <P> Transcription. Transcription involves copying DNA into RNA. The portion of the DNA that codes for genes is transcribed, or copied, into messenger RNA, known as mRNA. The first step in the process is the unwinding and separation of the two strands of the DNA helix. Similarities. Both DNA replication and transcription involve binding complementary nucleic acids to DNA, yielding a new strand of either DNA or RNA. Both processes can lead to errors if an incorrect nucleotide is incorporated. <P> · just now. Report Abuse. In DNA replication DNA polymerase break the strands and whole chrmosome or DNA molecule is copped. In transcription RNA polymerase works and mRNA is formed of a specific portion known as gene. In translation a protein is made from the information present on mRNA in ribosome. <P> Diffen › Science › Biology › Microbiology. Transcription is the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template where the code in the DNA is converted into a complementary RNA code. Translation is the synthesis of a protein from an mRNA template where the code in the mRNA is converted into an amino acid sequence in a protein. <P> Answer by Deepgene. Replication is simply formation of a new daughter strand of DNA from separated DNA strand in side the nucleus with a complex machinery involving DNA polymerase and few more enzymes with single strand binding proteins. where as translation refers to the decoding of mRNA formed from DNA during transcription into protein. this occurs in cytoplasm. this also involves a complex system of enzymes and riboprotein. <P> The purpose of transcription is to make RNA copies of individual genes that the cell can use in the biochemistry. Definition. DNA replication is the replication of a strand of DNA into two daughter strands, each daughter strand contains half of the original DNA double helix. Replication is the duplication of two-strands of DNA. Transcription is the formation of single, identical RNA from the two-stranded DNA. Enzymes. The two strands are separated and then each strand's complementary DNA sequence is recreated by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. <P> In transcription, the codons of a gene are copied into messenger RNA by RNA polymerase.This RNA copy is then decoded by a ribosome that reads the RNA sequence by base-pairing the messenger RNA to transfer RNA, which carries amino acids. Enzymes Required. DNA Helicase, DNA Polymerase. Replication is the duplication of two-strands of DNA. Transcription is the formation of single, identical RNA from the two-stranded DNA. Enzymes. The two strands are separated and then each strand's complementary DNA sequence is recreated by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. <P> In the transcription step, nucleotide sequence of the gene in the DNA strand is transcribed into RNA. This first step is highly similar to the DNA replication except the result is a strand on RNA in protein synthesis. The DNA strand being dismantled with DNA helicase enzyme, RNA polymerase is attached at the specific place of the start of the gene known as promoter, and RNA strand is synthesized along the gene. <P> The mechanism of transcription has parallels in that of DNA replication. As with DNA replication, partial unwinding of the double helix must occur before transcription can take place, and it is the RNA polymerase enzymes that catalyze this process. DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. The genetic material is stored in the form of DNA in most organisms. In humans, the nucleus of each cell contains 3 × 10 9 base pairs of DNA distributed over 23 pairs of chromosomes, and each cell has two copies of the genetic material. This is known collectively as the human genome.

types of muscle and their function
|
<P> Muscle tissues are derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells in a process known as myogenesis. There are three types of muscle, skeletal or striated, cardiac, and smooth. Muscle action can be classified as being either voluntary or involuntary. <P> By Arun Pal Singh 16 Comments. Different types of muscles in the body perform different functions according to their type and location. Muscles are the contractile tissues [Tissue that is able to contract] that are responsible for performing various voluntary and involuntary functions. Muscles can be regarded as motors of the body. Muscles are so named because, many of them resemble a mouse, with their tendons representing the tail. Visceral muscle is found inside of organs like the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. Visceral muscles are weakest of all the muscles. Their main function is to move substances through the organ. This type of muscles are also called plain, unstriped, non-striated, visceral, or involuntary muscles. <P> 1 Function. 2 Muscles are sometimes classified by the type of function that they perform. 3 Most of the muscles of the forearms are named based on their function because they are located in the same region and have similar shapes and sizes. 4 For example, the flexor group of the forearm flexes the wrist and the fingers. <P> Three types of muscles. The muscular system can be broken down into three types of muscles: skeletal, smooth and cardiac, according to the NIH. Skeletal muscles are the only voluntary muscle tissue in the human body and control every action that a person consciously performs. Most skeletal muscles are attached to two bones across a joint, so the muscle serves to move parts of those bones closer to each other, according to The Merck Manual. <P> There are three types of muscle tissue found in the human body. There are visceral muscles, which consist of smooth muscle tissue, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous … system and responds to both hormones and neural stimulation. Smooth muscles have no striations, as the nucleus is centrally located. <P> The functions of muscle tissues depend on the type of muscle tissues and their locations in the body. Here is an overview of the 3 types of muscle tissues : : Skeletal muscle is called striated because of its appearance consisting of light and dark bands visible using a light microscope. <P> Smooth muscle-Found in the walls of most organs. They carry out the actions that we don't have to think about. (like breathing, or the expansion and contraction of the lungs) Skeletal muscle-This is the most well-know muscle. It is used to move the bones in the body. It is found almost everywhere in the body. Source(s): <P> The 4 Basic Tissue Types in the Human Bodywww.exploringnature.org Tissues are groups of cells with a common structure (form) and function (job).There are four main tissues in the body – epithelium, muscle, connective tissue and nervous tissue. <P> The basic function of muscle is to generate force. Secondarily, muscles can provide some shape and form to the organism. Anatomically and functionally, muscle can be divided into two types, smooth and striated. Striated or striped muscle can be further divided into skeletal muscle and cardiac (heart) muscle.

what is cre infection
|
<P> CRE are bacteria that are resistant to most antibiotics. Enterobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria. Many of these bacteria live in our environment (in soil or water). Some of them can get into our bodies and make us sick. Members of the Enterobacteriaceae family of bacteria can cause pneumonia, kidney and bladder infections, and bloodstream infections. <P> CRE (carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae) bacteria are members of related bacterial genera that are commonly found almost everywhere in the world, often colonizing humans and animals (living in or on humans and animals mucosal surfaces, gastrointestinal tracts, and on some areas on the skin). However, CRE possess a unique genetic makeup that allows the bacteria to make an enzyme that protect CRE bacteria from a powerful antibiotic: carbapenem. The most notable genera that can share and even transfer this genetic trait to other members of the Enterobacteriaceae are E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. <P> Some CRE bacteria have become resistant to most available antibiotics. Infections with these germs are very difficult to treat, and can be deadly—one report cites they can contribute to death in up to 50% of patients who become infected. 1 Interim Duodenoscope Surveillance Protocol. 2 Interim Duodenoscope Sampling Method. Tracking CRE. CDC is working to better understand the true number of infections caused by these organisms in the US. Detect and Protect – CDC is funding some states who are testing the use of “Detect and Protect” strategies to find germs causing healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and prevent their spread. <P> This resistance to carbapenem is not the only reason CRE bacteria are considered dangerous. CRE bacteria that reach the bloodstream have a mortality (death) rate of 40%-50%. CRE are transmitted person to person, usually by direct contact with contaminated feces, skin, or instruments used in hospitals. <P> CRE are bacteria that are resistant to most antibiotics due to the production of an enzyme called carbapenemase. Enterobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria and many of these bacteria live in our environment (such as soil or water). <P> CRE can be so deadly, because few antibiotics work against its different variations. That's what the name carbapenem-resistant means -- carbapenem is a class of antibiotics often used as a last resort against a bad bacterial infection. <P> CRE (carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae) infections come from bacteria that are normally found in a healthy person’s digestive tract. <P> Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) Infection. CRE infections are most commonly seen in people with exposure to healthcare settings like hospitals and long-term care facilities, such as skilled nursing facilities, and long-term acute care hospitals. In healthcare settings, CRE infections occur among sick patients who are receiving treatment for other conditions. Some CRE bacteria have become resistant to almost all available antibiotics and can be deadly—one report cites they can contribute to death in up to 50% of patients who become infected. <P> Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) or Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) , are gram-negative bacteria that are nearly resistant to the carbapenem class of antibiotics, considered the drug of last resort for such infections. Enterobacteriaceae are common commensals and infectious agents. Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have been defined as carbapenem-nonsusceptible and extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae complex, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Klebsiella oxytoca.

<P> By Matt Rosenberg. Definition: A location of a place in relation to another place (i.e. south or downhill). Examples: The relative location of Kansas City, Missouri is just east of Kansas City, Kansas. <P> Canada is located in the North Western hemisphere. It continent is North America. relative location-arctic ocean is north of Canada, Atlantic east of Canada, United States S … outh of Canada and Pacific ocean West of Canada. <P> For instance, latitude and longitude coordinates are an example of Absolute Location. Relative location is more general and can be used relative to the surroundings of the object. You could say something like, The post office is South of the diner on main street. <P> Both relative location and absolute location are geographic terms used to describe the location of a place on the Earth's surface. They are each unique in their ability to pinpoint a location on Earth. <P> Relative location is how you get a place from where you are or from another place you know. It is most useful for giving directions to people. <P> First of all, when you say relative location, it refers to the identification of a particular location in relation to another. Say for instance you would want to know where Mall A is. Since you are not given the exact location, you will only be given its relative location. <P> Relative Location. Relative location refers to locating a place relative to other landmarks. For example, you could give the relative location of St. Louis, Missouri as being in eastern Missouri, along the Mississippi River southwest of Springfield, Illinois. As one drives along most major highways, there are mileage signs indicating the distance to the next town or city. <P> Canada is located in the North Western hemisphere.

what are the two muscles involved in normal inspiration
|
<P> When the diaphragm contracts in inspiration, initially the lower ribs are fixed and the dome of the diaphragm descends, thus increasing the vertical diameter of thorax. Respiration involves Inspiration and Expiration which are accompanied by the alternate increase and decrease of the volume of thoracic cavity. <P> The diaphragm, a large dome-shaped muscle, lies just under the lungs. Its upward dome-shape flattens, moving downward and expanding the thoracic cavity, during inspiration. Th … e rib muscles simultaneously contract and pull the rib cage up and outward, further expanding the thoracic cavity. The increased volume of the thoracic cavity causes air to rush into <P> The gaseous exchange phase of respiration consists of two phases: Inspiration and Expiration. These are accomplished by the alternate increase and decrease of the capacity of the thoracic cavity. The normal rate of respiration for a healthy adult individual is 16 to 20 breaths per minute. <P> Muscles of Respiration. During quiet breathing, the predominant muscle of respiration is the diaphragm. As it contracts, pleural pressure drops, which lowers the alveolar pressure, and draws air in down the pressure gradient from mouth to alveoli. <P> The diaphragm is the prime mover of inspiration. It flattens on contraction, increasing the vertical dimensions of the thorax, which draws air into the lungs. The external int … ercostals also contribute to inspiration. The internal intercostals and rectus abdominis are expiratory muscles. <P> This increases thoracic volume in a vertical direction. Inspiration is aided by contraction of the parasternal and external intercostals, which raise the ribs when they contract and increase thoracic volume laterally. Other thoracic muscles become involved in forced (deep) inspiration. <P> The diaphragm, a large dome-shaped muscle, lies just under the lungs.

how much does it cost to remove asbestos tiles
|
<P> 1 Removing a 10-foot section of asbestos pipe insulation could be $400-$650. 2 Some contractors have a minimum fee of $1,500-$3,000, no matter how small the job is. 3 And a complete removal in a 1,500 square foot home with asbestos everywhere--walls, floors, ceilings, attic, roof, pipes--could be as high as $20,000-$30,000. <P> The cost for asbestos removal from other companies may be as much as $500 or more for a small amount of asbestos ceiling removal or to remove insulation around a 10-foot section of pipe. If you do a little research you will normally be able to reduce your overall asbestos removal cost. <P> 1 Have an independent inspector do an initial asbestos inspection; the White Lung Association says this costs $400-$800 for an average 1,500 square foot house, including lab fees; and a re-inspection at the end of the project can be $200-$400. 2 If lab work is done separately, a sample analysis averages $25-$75. <P> 1 And a complete removal in a 1,500 square foot home with asbestos everywhere--walls, floors, ceilings, attic, roof, pipes--could be as high as $20,000-$30,000. <P> 1 Some contractors have a minimum fee of $1,500-$3,000, no matter how small the job is. 2 And a complete removal in a 1,500 square foot home with asbestos everywhere--walls, floors, ceilings, attic, roof, pipes--could be as high as $20,000-$30,000. <P> Average Cost of Removing Asbestos Floor Tiles.

what causes yawning
|
<P> Yawning is a mostly involuntary process and is usually triggered by sleepiness or fatigue. It is a very natural response to being tired. Yawning is the involuntary process of opening the mouth and inhaling deeply, filling the lungs with air. Some yawns are short, and some last for several seconds before an open-mouthed exhale. Watery eyes, tears, runny rose, stretching, or audible sighs may accompany yawning <P> Yawning: When one opens their mouth for a deep inhalation usually involuntary. See detailed information below for a list of 18 causes of Yawning, Symptom Checker, including diseases and drug side effect causes. » Review Causes of Yawning: Causes | Symptom Checker ». <P> Yawning redirects here. For the fish species, see Yawning (fish) . A yawn is a reflex consisting of the simultaneous inhalation of air and the stretching of the eardrums, followed by an exhalation of breath. Yawning (oscitation) most often occurs in adults immediately before and after sleep, during tedious activities and as a result of its contagious quality. Another hypothesis is that yawns are caused by the same chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain that affect emotions, mood, appetite, and other phenomena. These chemicals include serotonin, dopamine, glutamic acid, and nitric oxide. <P> The reason humans yawn is unknown, but common triggers include fatigue and boredom. Yawns sometimes occur when you see or hear someone else yawn or simply talk about yawning. Scientists now believe contagious yawning may have something to do with social communication (Brynie, 2011). It is a very natural response to being tired. Yawning is the involuntary process of opening the mouth and inhaling deeply, filling the lungs with air. Some yawns are short, and some last for several seconds before an open-mouthed exhale. <P> Though the average one lasts only six seconds, and raises your heart rate by as much as 30%, yawning is still a phenomenon full of mystery often leaving researchers wondering what causes yawning and why people yawn when they do. <P> Yawning is a reflex action, which causes us to open our mouth wide and inhale a large amount of air, which is then followed by its exhalation. Though yawning is more commonly associated with boredom, fatigue, sleepiness, overwork or stress, many of us also yawn when we wake up or simply when see others yawn. Out of the various theories regarding what causes a yawn, the most important ones are given below. A yawn is contagious, in the sense that it can easily spread to the person who is observing the other person yawning. <P> 1 The physiological theory: Our bodies induce yawning to draw in more oxygen or remove a buildup of carbon dioxide. 2 This theory helps explain why we yawn in groups. 3 Larger groups produce more carbon dioxide, which means our bodies would act to draw in more oxygen and get rid of the excess carbon dioxide. <P> Yawning excessively is when the act of yawning occurs repeatedly or in close succession. When you yawn, your mouth opens and you take in a deep, long breath. Sometimes this is accompanied by a sigh. Yawning is a normal response by the body to drowsiness or fatigue. Yawning may also be triggered by observing someone else yawning. Yawning excessively may mean taking in this deep breath more often, generally more than a few times per minute. This can occur when you are tired, weary or drowsy. Some medications, such as those used to treat depression, anxiety or allergies, can cause excessive yawning. <P> Causes of yawning a lot. The central cause of excessive yawning or yawning a lot is low CO2 (carbon dioxide) and oxygen levels in brain cells. Most modern people constantly have low brain and body oxygenation. Let us consider why. The physiological norm for breathing at rest (for adults) is only 6 L/min.

<P> 1 CARRIER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE for any loss or damage to a shipment or for any delay caused by an act of God, the public enemy, the authority of law, the inherent vice of the goods or the act or default of the shipper. 2 The burden to prove freedom from negligence is on the Carrier or the party in possession. 1 In no event shall Carrier's maximum liability for used or reconditioned articles exceed the actual value or $5.00 per pound per package (including excess liability coverage), whichever is less, with a maximum of $10,000 per incident. <P> Defining Carriers Liability. All carriers in New Zealand operate under the Carriage of Goods Act 1979. This piece of legislation defines the limits to liability that a carrier has for damage, regardless of whether that carrier has any insurance cover. This liability may only be contracted out of in writing prior to the cartage beginning. <P> An insurer, or insurance carrier, is selling the insurance; the insured, or policyholder, is the person or entity buying the insurance policy. The amount of money to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage is called the premium. 1 Earthquake insurance is a form of property insurance that pays the policyholder in the event of an earthquake that causes damage to the property. 2 Most ordinary home insurance policies do not cover earthquake damage. <P> Liability is for any type of damage that occurs to the goods whilst loading, unloading or in transit. If in transit for a lengthy period, Limited Liability Carriers Insurance only covers the first 30 days. The carrier must be notified in writing within 30 days of the occurrence of the damage for Limited Liabiliy Carriers Insurance to be available. This piece of legislation defines the limits to liability that a carrier has for damage, regardless of whether that carrier has any insurance cover. This liability may only be contracted out of in writing prior to the cartage beginning. <P> In general, damage caused intentionally as well as contractual liability are not covered under liability insurance policies. When a claim is made, the insurance carrier has the duty (and right) to defend the insured. Liability insurance is designed to offer specific protection against third party insurance claims, i.e., payment is not typically made to the insured, but rather to someone suffering loss who is not a party to the insurance contract. <P> UADV, ELCP, ELCC. 1 CARRIER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE for any loss or damage to a shipment or for any delay caused by an act of God, the public enemy, the authority of law, the inherent vice of the goods or the act or default of the shipper. 1 In no event shall Carrier's maximum liability for used or reconditioned articles exceed the actual value or $5.00 per pound per package (including excess liability coverage), whichever is less, with a maximum of $10,000 per incident. <P> Liability insurance is a part of the general insurance system of risk financing to protect the purchaser (the insured) from the risks of liabilities imposed by lawsuits and similar claims. It protects the insured in the event he or she is sued for claims that come within the coverage of the insurance policy. Liability insurance is designed to offer specific protection against third party insurance claims, i.e., payment is not typically made to the insured, but rather to someone suffering loss who is not a party to the insurance contract. <P> Australia's carriers' liability and insurance arrangements are outlined in the Civil Aviation (Carriers' Liability) Act 1959 (the CACL Act). The changes to air carriers' liability and insurance requirements effective 31 March 2013 include the following: 1 the increase of the domestic passenger liability cap and mandatory insurance requirements from $500,000 to $725,000 per passenger under the CACL Act; <P> A common carrier is liable for all shipment loss, damage, and delay with the exception of that caused by act of God, act of a public enemy, act of a public authority, act of the shipper, and the goods' inherent nature. <P> Insurance is the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another in exchange for money. It is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. 1 Earthquake insurance is a form of property insurance that pays the policyholder in the event of an earthquake that causes damage to the property. 2 Most ordinary home insurance policies do not cover earthquake damage.

what is silicon made up of
|
<P> Silicone, by contrast, is a synthetic polymer made up of silicon, oxygen and other elements, most typically carbon and hydrogen. Silicone is generally a liquid or a flexible, rubberlike plastic, and has a number of useful properties, such as low toxicity and high heat resistance. Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. It's a metalloid, meaning it has properties of both metals and nonmetals, and is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, after oxygen. <P> Silicon dioxide is the main ingredient of glass. Glass is made by melting silicon sand (also called quartz sand) with carbon at a high temperature (up to 4000 degrees Fahrenheit). When the glass forms, the mixture releases the carbon and oxygen as a gas (carbon monoxide). <P> Measured by mass, silicon makes up 27.7% of the Earth's crust and is the second most abundant element in the crust, with only oxygen having a greater abundance. Silicon is usually found in the form of complex silicate minerals, and less often as silicon dioxide (silica, a major component of common sand). Over 90% of the Earth's crust is composed of silicate minerals, making silicon the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust (about 28% by mass) after oxygen. <P> Silicon is the eighth most common element in the universe by mass, but very rarely occurs as the pure free element in nature. It is most widely distributed in dusts, sands, planetoids, and planets as various forms of silicon dioxide (silica) or silicates. Over 90% of the Earth's crust is composed of silicate minerals, making silicon the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust (about 28% by mass) after oxygen. <P> Silicone caulk can be used as a basic sealant against water and air penetration. Silicones are polymers that include any inert, synthetic compound made up of repeating units of siloxane, which is a functional group of two silicon atoms and one oxygen atom frequently combined with carbon and/ or hydrogen. A true silicone group with a double bond between oxygen and silicon does not commonly exist in nature; chemists find that the silicon atom usually forms single bonds with each of two oxygen atoms, rather than a double bond to a single atom. Polysiloxanes are among the many substances commonly known as silicones. <P> Silicon is a chemical element with symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a tetravalent metalloid, more reactive than germanium, the metalloid directly below it in the table. Controversy about silicon's character dates to its discovery; it was first prepared and characterized in pure form in 1823. Over 90% of the Earth's crust is composed of silicate minerals, making silicon the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust (about 28% by mass) after oxygen. <P> Raw Materials. Silicon metal is made from the reaction of silica (silicon dioxide, SiO2) and carbon materials like coke, coal and wood chips. Silica is typically received in the form of metallurgical grade gravel. This gravel is 99.5% silica, and is 3 x 1 or 6 x 1 in (8 x 3 cm or 15 x 3 cm) in size. In its oxide or silicate form, silicon is used to make concrete, bricks, glass, ceramics, and soap. Silicon metal is also the base material for making silicones used in such products as synthetic oils, caulks and sealers, and anti-foaming agents. <P> It’s most commonly found as a silicate (SiO4, or one silicon atom bound to four oxygen atoms) and silica (SiO2, or one silicon atom bound to two oxygen atoms). Silica, in a rough and highly contaminated form, is the primary component of sand. Feldspar, granite, quartz, and more are all based on silicon-oxygen compounds.

why is roanoke island important
|
<P> Roanoke Island’s history is legendary. Long before Jamestown and Plymouth were settled, the island played host to the first English-speaking colonists in America. <P> Many theories exist about the settlers' fate on Roanoke Island, but none has been fully substantiated. One view is that the colonists sought refuge with neighboring Native Americans (probably the Coharie tribe) and were absorbed through intermarriage. <P> John White, the governor of the Roanoke Island colony in present-day North Carolina, returns from a supply-trip to England to find the settlement deserted. White and his men found no trace of the 100 or so colonists he left behind, and there was no sign of violence. <P> Jamestown, Va., is located at the James River, a Chesapeake Bay tributary. This colony on Roanoke Island was the first English settlement in the New World. In 1587, shortly after the arrival of the colonists, John White's daughter gave birth to the first child of European parents to be born on American soil. Her name was Virginia Dare. <P> Roanoke Island has a significant place in American history as the first attempt at an English settlement in the New World. However, not many are aware of the important role that the island had in the preservation of a united country during the Civil War. <P> Roanoke Island is an island in Dare County on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, United States. It was named after the historical Roanoke Carolina Algonquian people who inhabited the area in the 16th century at the time of English exploration. <P> Roanoke Island is one of the three oldest surviving English place-names in the U.S. Along with the Chowan and Neuse rivers, it was named in 1584 by Captains Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe, sent by Sir Walter Raleigh. <P> Roanoke Island has been known in European-American history for its significance as the site of Sir Walter Raleigh 's establishing of an English settlement with his Roanoke Colony in 1585 and 1587. <P> Main article: Roanoke Colony. Roanoke Island was the site of the 16th-century Roanoke Colony, the first English colony in the New World. It was located in what was then called Virginia, named in honor of England's ruling monarch and Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I.

what is an endive
|
<P> Endive nutrition facts. Endive, commonly popular as escarole, is a green leafy-vegetable with a hint of bitter flavor. Nevertheless, this well-known salad plant is much more than just a leafy green; packed with numerous health benefiting plant nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin A, etc. <P> The word Endive is also sometimes used to refer to Belgian endive, which is a related vegetable but not the same. Belgian endive is a small, cylindrical head of lettuce with pale yellow leaves with slightly curly edges. <P> Endive is closely related to and often confused with its cousin, chicory. There are three main varieties of endive: Belgian endive, curly endive and escarole. Belgian endive (also known as French endive or witloof) is a small (6 inch) cigar-shaped head of cream-colored, tightly packed slightly bitter leaves. Belgian endive is grown in complete darkness to prevent it from turning green. <P> Endive (/ˈɛndaɪv/ or /ˈɑːndiv/ ; Cichorium endivia) is a leaf vegetable belonging to the genus Cichorium, which includes several similar bitter leafed vegetables. Species include endive (Cichorium endivia), Cichorium pumilum, and common chicory (Cichorium intybus). <P> Summary. A relative of chicory, radicchio, and Belgian endive, endive is from the daisy family, native to Asia Minor. Sometimes it's called escarole, which is a similar leafy green, but with wider, flatter leaves. <P> Endive is one of the most difficult vegetables in the world to grow, requiring a two-step growing process before it is ready to be enjoyed. The first growth takes about 150 days in the field, where the chicory grows from seed into a leafy green plant with a deep tap root. <P> Endive is a member of the chicory family, which includes radicchio, escarole, frisee and curly endive. It has a crisp texture and a sweet, nutty flavor with a pleasantly mild bitterness — great served raw or cooked. So Special...It's Grown Twice. <P> Endive is often described as a green leafy green vegetable that comes in curly or flat-leaf varieties, but that's not entirely true. To be precise, endive is the curly-leafed type, and escarole is the one with larger, flatter leaves.

disease caused by fungi in human
|
<P> Pathogenic fungi are fungi that cause disease in humans or other organisms. The study of pathogenic fungi is referred to as medical mycology .. Although fungi are eukaryotic organisms, many pathogenic fungi are also microorganisms. Fungicides, such as ziram are used to protect plants against fungal infections. <P> Fungal diseases are often caused by fungi that are common in the environment. Fungi live outdoors in soil and on plants and trees as well as on many indoor surfaces and on human skin. Most fungi are not dangerous, but some types can be harmful to health. Aspergillosis-Caused by the fungus Aspergillus and usually occurs in people with lung diseases or weakened immune systems. 1 Symptoms. 2 Risk and Prevention. 3 Diagnosis and Testing. <P> Most of Fungus do not caused disease. However some of them do cause serious diseases. Diseases caused by fungi are usually on the skin, lung, mouth and vagina tract etc that can easily be reached by things in the environment. Fungi and Diseases. Fungi is a large group of eukaryotes, includes yeast, mushrooms, lichen, Penicillium fungus etc. Fungus are usually very small, and cannot be seen by the eye. <P> 1 Superficial mycoses are caused by fungi that grow on the surface of the skin or hair. 2 Cutaneous mycoses or dermatomycoses include such infections as athlete's foot and ringworm, where growth occurs only in the superficial layers of skin, nails, or hair. Fungal Diseases Fungal diseases are called mycoses and those affecting humans can be divided into four groups based on the level of penetration into the body tissues. (view-How Common are Fungal Diseases). 1 <P> Fungi is a form of infecting parasite. They can be hostile to plants, animals and humans and can produce disease in many ways. Skin irritants are most common and something that every person has experienced, dandruff, is caused by a fungal infection. Fungi exist as molds and yeasts. A fungal infection is called a mycosis, these can manifest as a local infection or a systemic infection. A very common fungal infection is caused by a yeast like fungus called Candida Albicans. <P> Fungi cause many kinds of diseases in plants and animals. Diseases in humans caused by fungus infection range from skin disorders to serious illness. Fungal diseases like blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, and candidiasis in humans often attack the lungs. Thrush, a fungal disease of the throat, is found mainly in infants. Fungi exist as molds and yeasts. A fungal infection is called a mycosis, these can manifest as a local infection or a systemic infection. A very common fungal infection is caused by a yeast like fungus called Candida Albicans. <P> Some fungi cause disease when they become human parasites. Two examples are fungi in the genera Candida and Trichophyton. 1 Candida are yeast that cause candidiasis, commonly called a “yeast infection.” The yeast can infect the mouth or the vagina (in females). Lesson Summary. 1 Most protist diseases in humans are caused by protozoa. 2 Protozoa make humans sick when they become human parasites. 3 Trypanosoma protozoa cause Chagas disease and sleeping sickness. 4 Giardia protozoa cause giardiasis, and Plasmodium protozoa cause malaria. <P> Fungal diseases are often caused by fungi that are common in the environment. Most fungi are not dangerous, but some types can be harmful to health. Mild fungal skin diseases can look like a rash and are very common. Fungal diseases in the lungs are often similar to other illnesses such as the flu or tuberculosis. Some fungal diseases like fungal meningitis and bloodstream infections are less common than skin and lung infections but can be deadly. 1 Types of fungal diseases Read about different types of fungal diseases <P> Of the thousands of species of fungi, a few can cause human disease. These fungi cause a wide range of illnesses, from minor skin conditions to life-threatening diseases. They produce two kinds of infections: systemic and superficial.

normal heart rate in normal day activity
|
<P> 1 Your heart rate is the number of times per minute that the heart beats. 2 Heart rate rises significantly in response to adrenaline if a person is frightened or surprised. 3 Taking a person's pulse is a direct measure of heart rate. 1 A normal adult resting heart beat is between 60-100 heartbeats per minute. 2 Some experienced athletes may see their resting heartrate fall below 60 beats per minute. 3 Tachycardia refers to the heart beating too fast at rest-over 10 <P> Even if you’re not an athlete, knowledge about your heart rate can help you monitor your fitness level — and it might even help you spot developing health problems. Your heart rate, or pulse, is the number of times your heart beats per minute. Normal heart rate varies from person to person. Knowing yours can be an important heart-health gauge. <P> The heart rate can vary according to the body's physical needs, including the need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide. Activities that can provoke change include physical exercise, sleep, anxiety, stress, illness, ingesting, and drugs. The normal resting adult human heart rate ranges from 60–100 bpm. Tachycardia is a fast heart rate, defined as above 100 bpm at rest. Bradycardia is a slow heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest. During sleep a slow heartbeat with rates around 40–50 BPM is common and is considered normal. When the heart is not beating in a regular pattern, this is referred to as an arrhythmia. These abnormalities of heart rate sometimes indicate disease. <P> Heart rate, also known as pulse, is the number of times a person's heart beats per minute. A normal heart rate depends on the individual, age, body size, heart conditions, whether the person is sitting or moving, medication use and even air temperature. Even emotions can have an impact on heart rate. For children ages 6 to 15, the normal resting heart rate is between 70 and 100 bpm, according to the AHA. But a heart rate lower than 60 doesn’t necessarily mean you have a medical problem. Active people often have lower heart rates because their heart muscles don't need to work as hard to maintain a steady beat. <P> Bradycardia was defined as a heart rate less than 60 beats per minute when textbooks asserted that the normal range for heart rates was 60–100 BPM. The normal range has since been revised in textbooks to 50–90 BPM for a human at total rest. Bradycardia is a slow heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest. During sleep a slow heartbeat with rates around 40–50 BPM is common and is considered normal. When the heart is not beating in a regular pattern, this is referred to as an arrhythmia. These abnormalities of heart rate sometimes indicate disease. <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> 1 Have students keep a record of their heart rates for one week by taking their pulse a few times a day. 2 Note time of day and activity at the time. 3 The amount of time the heart takes to return to a normal at-rest rate after exercise is called recovery time. 4 This is a measure of the body's general fitness. The normal pulse rate varies with age. Below is a chart listing the range of heart rates and average heart rate for various ages. With exercise or physical activity, the heart rate increases to supply the muscles with more oxygen to produce extra energy. <P> Results continued... The chart below shows the normal range of a resting heart rate (pulse rate after resting 10 minutes) in beats per minute, according to age. Many things can cause changes in your normal heart rate, including your age, activity level, and the time of day <P> For adults 18 and older, a normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm), depending on the person’s physical condition and age. For children ages 6 to 15, the normal resting heart rate is between 70 and 100 bpm, according to the AHA. But a heart rate lower than 60 doesn’t necessarily mean you have a medical problem.

<P> Dressage. In Dressage competitions, horse and rider perform a series of predetermined movements, known as ‘figures’ or “movements” in an arena of either 20x60 metres or occasionally 20x40 metres. <P> The origins of classical dressage and collection lie in the natural ability of the horse and its movements in the wild. In fact, most modern definitions of dressage state that the goal is to have the horse perform under saddle with the degree of athleticism and grace that it naturally shows when free. Classical dressage evolved from cavalry movements and training for the battlefield, and has since developed into the competitive dressage seen today. Classical riding is the art of riding in harmony with, rather than against, the horse. <P> There are a lot of confused people wondering just what dressage is all about and for some reason it is often explained in a way to make it sound more confusing. A horse likes showing off to other horses but it is difficult with a rider until the horse can learn to carry more weight with its hind legs and lighten the front end. Most horses are seen jogging with weight on the forehand, legs shuffling out behind and very little lift. <P> Full Definition of DRESSAGE. : the execution by a trained horse of precision movements in response to barely perceptible signals from its rider. See dressage defined for English-language learners. ADVERTISEMENT. <P> W estern Dressage is defined as using classical dressage concepts and principles to train and develop the western rider and horse. The goal, specifically, is to develop cadence, balance, relaxation and the acceptance of the aids through the tried and true methods of classical dressage. From the young un-broke horse to the advanced schoolmaster, Western Dressage will pave the way for the building a solid lasting relationship between horse and rider. This steady progression of training is the key to building a safe confident horse. <P> Western Dressage is not intended to build a dressage horse, or put a western saddle on a dressage horse. It is merely the means by which we improve the stock horse and develop a well-rounded, disciplined horse regardless of its breed. From the young un-broke horse to the advanced schoolmaster, Western Dressage will pave the way for the building a solid lasting relationship between horse and rider. This steady progression of training is the key to building a safe confident horse. <P> WHATS DRESSAGE by Julie Newman. There are a lot of confused people wondering just what dressage is all about and for some reason it is often explained in a way to make it sound more confusing. My interpretation is that it is training to enhance the natural movement of the horse. A horse likes showing off to other horses but it is difficult with a rider until the horse can learn to carry more weight with its hind legs and lighten the front end. Most horses are seen jogging with weight on the forehand, legs shuffling out behind and very little lift. <P> Dressage is occasionally referred to as Horse Ballet .. Although the discipline has ancient roots in Europe, dressage was first recognized as an important equestrian pursuit during the Renaissance. Dressage horses are turned out to a high standard. It is usual for horses to have their manes braided (also known as plaited). In eventing, the mane is always braided on the right; in competitive dressage, however, it is occasionally braided on the left, should it naturally fall there. <P> At the peak of a dressage horse's gymnastic development, the horse will respond smoothly to a skilled rider's minimal aids. The rider will be relaxed and appear effort-free while the horse willingly performs the requested movement. Dressage horses are turned out to a high standard. It is usual for horses to have their manes braided (also known as plaited). In eventing, the mane is always braided on the right; in competitive dressage, however, it is occasionally braided on the left, should it naturally fall there.

transmission fluid change cost
|
<P> The manufacturer's maintenance schedule for many automatic transmissions doesn't call for fresh fluid until 100,000 miles or, with some Ford transmissions, even 150,000 miles. A lot of mechanics say that is too long and it should be done at least every 50,000 miles. <P> The transmission fluid change cost will depend on what you will want to get done. As we have suggested, the filter should be replaced and the pan inspected. It is not absolutely necessary but we like to think in terms of the long haul. Once you learn how to do it yourself, you won’t ever have to waste extra money getting your car serviced at a shop again! On average you will be spending around $40 to $75 for the transmission fluid change cost if you do it yourself. <P> If you drive an average car, like a sedan, the average transmission fluid change cost will be around $60 to $100. Not too shabby. Normally shops are less expensive than dealerships (dealers are know to pad bills), but be wary of what kind of shop you bring it to. Once you learn how to do it yourself, you won’t ever have to waste extra money getting your car serviced at a shop again! On average you will be spending around $40 to $75 for the transmission fluid change cost if you do it yourself. <P> Parts: $25 - $49. The average cost for an automatic transmission fluid/filter change is between $151 to $209. Labor costs are estimated between $126 to $160 while parts are priced between $25 to $49. Get a personalized estimate based on your location and specific car. Estimate does not include taxes and fees. <P> A transmission fluid change is probably the most common service people get on their cars. In fact, a transmission fluid change is often referred to as a transmission service. There’s also the transmission flush though which some consider more effective. You can read more about the cost of a transmission flush here. But back to the topic at hand, it’s suggested that you get a fluid change every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, or once every 2 years. Once you learn how to do it yourself, you won’t ever have to waste extra money getting your car serviced at a shop again! On average you will be spending around $40 to $75 for the transmission fluid change cost if you do it yourself. <P> Assuming automatic transmission: At a quick lube type place, with unknown brand of fluid-from about $30-60 depending if done as part of a general fluid change package or all by itself. If transmission fluid filters need replacing too (usually are changed with fluid change on an automatic transmission), more like $75-125 range. At dealer, using OEM parts and fluid, about twice to triple that. Normal auto repair shop about halfway in between those two. <P> Compare Professional Prices. Depending on the make and model of your car, you could spend anywhere from $70 to $250 (2010 price) for a transmission fluid change. The higher the car value, the more expensive the repair costs. AAA members may receive a discount for this service. <P> 1 For example, CostHelper readers report paying $90-$378 for a transmission flush at a oil-and-lube or auto repair shop, at an average cost of $160; or $77-$295 at dealerships, at an average cost of $205; and a CostHelper reader in Nevada reported being charged $766 for a transmission fluid change on a Lamborghini Diablo. 1 Flushing a transmission with a pressurized machine can cost $125-$300 or more, and may include pushing a special cleaning compound through the system. 2 The power flush process typically replaces all of the transmission fluid, and can require 12-22 or more quarts

<P> Other organs and the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system also consists of other organs like the spleen that lies on the above left sided part of the abdomen. It acts like a large filter to remove worn out and damaged red blood cells from the blood and recycle them. This lymph aids in clearing the tissues of infective organisms, toxins etc. The basic structure and functions of the lymphatic system can be broken into the lymph channels. The lymph nodes, lymph and other organs. <P> B-cells and T-cells are lymphocytes found in lymph nodes and lymph tissues. When B-cell lymphocytes become activated due to the presence of a particular antigen, they create antibodies that are specific to that specific antigen. The antigen is tagged as an intruder and labeled for destruction by other immune cells. Lymphoma is the term used for cancer that begins in the lymphatic system. This type of cancer originates in the lymphocytes that inhabit lymph nodes and lymph tissues. Lymphomas are grouped into two main types: Hodgkin's lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) . <P> Lymph nodes serve two major functions in the body. They filter lymph and assist the immune system in building an immune response. Lymph is a clear fluid that comes from blood plasma that exits blood vessels at capillary beds. This fluid becomes the interstitial fluid that surrounds cells. Lymphoma is the term used for cancer that begins in the lymphatic system. This type of cancer originates in the lymphocytes that inhabit lymph nodes and lymph tissues. Lymphomas are grouped into two main types: Hodgkin's lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) . <P> 1. List the functions of the lymphatic vessels. The function of the lymphatic vessels, or lymphatics, is an elaborate system of drainage vessels that collect the excess protein-containing interstitial fluid and return it to the bloodstream. 2. Describe the structure and distribution of lymphatic vessels. <P> Functions of the lymphatic system include (3): 1 Drainage of fluid from blood stream into the tissues – The circulating blood through narrow vessels leads to leakage of fluid or plasma into the tissues carrying oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and carrying waste materials from the tissues into the lymph channels. This lymph aids in clearing the tissues of infective organisms, toxins etc. The basic structure and functions of the lymphatic system can be broken into the lymph channels. The lymph nodes, lymph and other organs. <P> Lymph nodes refer to small glands of the immune system, which are spread across the body along lymphatic system and appear as small bulbs. Recognized as the battalion of B, T, and similar immune cells. 1 Lymph Filtration: Lymph, the white fluid, is drained and gathered from the adjacent parts of the nodes. 2 In specific terms, the afferent lymphatic vessels supply unfiltered body fluid to the node for filtration. <P> The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic fluid (called lymph ) flowing through a system of lymphatic vessels, including lymphatic capillaries, other lymphatic vessels of various sizes (which can be compared with blood vessels), and lymph nodes (which are encapsulated masses of B Cells and T Cells). : This page is part of the section about the structure and function of different Tissue Types, which is related to the section about Histology and Cells (incl. structure of animal cells, cell division, mitosis, meiosis). <P> This picture shows the regions of the lymph node where the blood stream (arteries and veins) anter a typical lymph node. For the lymphatic system to function properly in its defensive role, the lymph nodes must be able to dump their leukocytes (infection fighting cells) quickly into the general blood stream. <P> View full size image. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body. The lymphatic system primarily consists of lymphatic vessels, which are similar to the circulatory system's veins and capillaries. <P> The lymphatic system is basically a channel that carries a clear or whitish fluid called the lymph.

what are characteristics of diabetic urine
|
<P> Although they have a common name, diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus are two entirely separate conditions with unrelated mechanisms. Both cause large amounts of urine to be produced (polyuria), and the term diabetes is derived from the Greek word meaning siphon. Those with DI continue to urinate large amounts of dilute urine in spite of water deprivation. In primary polydipsia, the urine osmolality should increase and stabilize at above 280 Osm/kg with fluid restriction, while a stabilization at a lower level indicates diabetes insipidus. <P> A diminution in the amount of urine through reduction in the quantity of water can seldom be brought about, as experience has shown that diabetics bear this very poorly, and if it is insisted upon simply disobey. On the other hand the reverse often obtains. There are some rare cases of diabetes mellitus in which, despite a large percentage of sugar, only a normal quantity of urine is se creted, and the demand of the organism for water does not exceed physiological limits. The causes for this unusual condition are not known. <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a condition characterized by excessive thirst and excretion of large amounts of severely dilute urine, with reduction of fluid intake having no effect on the concentration of the urine. There are different types of DI, each with a different set of causes. Those with DI continue to urinate large amounts of dilute urine in spite of water deprivation. In primary polydipsia, the urine osmolality should increase and stabilize at above 280 Osm/kg with fluid restriction, while a stabilization at a lower level indicates diabetes insipidus. <P> Figure 3 depicts the relationships of urine NAE and its components to dietary acid intake. For a given urine sulfate, urine NAE tended to be higher in patients with type 2 diabetes versus NV (P = 0.07 and P = 0.04 when adjusted for gender; Figure 3A). The goal of this investigation was to evaluate which abnormalities place patients with type 2 diabetes at greater risk for uric acid nephrolithiasis. To our knowledge, this is the only study to examine urinary biochemical characteristics in non–stone-forming patients with type 2 diabetes. <P> 1 You have ketones in your urine and can't reach your doctor for advice. 2 You have multiple signs and symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis — excessive thirst, frequent urination, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, fruity-scented breath, confusion. Diabetic ketoacidosis signs and symptoms often develop quickly, sometimes within 24 hours. For some, these signs and symptoms may be the first indication of having diabetes. You may notice: 1 Excessive thirst. 2 Frequent urination. 3 Nausea and vomiting. 4 Abdominal pain. 5 Weakness or fatigue. <P> OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF DIABETIC URINE. 1. Quantity of the Urine; Specific Gravity. Polyuria is one of the most striking symptoms of diabetes. It often causes the patient uneasiness before any other phenomena of the disease are noticed. There are some rare cases of diabetes mellitus in which, despite a large percentage of sugar, only a normal quantity of urine is se creted, and the demand of the organism for water does not exceed physiological limits. The causes for this unusual condition are not known. <P> As a result of this more acidic urine, patients with type 2 diabetes had a significantly greater urinary content and concentration of undissociated uric acid, approaching the levels seen in UASF (Table 3). The goal of this investigation was to evaluate which abnormalities place patients with type 2 diabetes at greater risk for uric acid nephrolithiasis. To our knowledge, this is the only study to examine urinary biochemical characteristics in non–stone-forming patients with type 2 diabetes. <P> If you make enough but your kidneys can't respond to it, you have nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. In either form, the result is the same. Your kidneys can't retain water, so even if you’re dehydrated, they'll put out a lot of pale, or diluted urine. It's a general term for any condition that causes your body to make a lot of urine. And that’s just what, diabetes insipidus does. This condition makes you extra thirsty. <P> 1 Urine tests are also done to look for the presence of protein in the urine, which is a sign of kidney damage. 2 Urine glucose measurements are less reliable than blood glucose measurements and are not used to diagnose diabetes or evaluate treatment for diabetes. Urine tests for diabetes facts. 1 Urine tests may be done in people with diabetes to evaluate severe hyperglycemia (severe high blood sugar) by looking for ketones in the urine. 2 Ketones are a metabolic product produced when fat is metabolized.

what type of food do bacteria thrive
|
<P> Any temperature less than around 60 °C for most bacteria. However, there are bacteria in food that can survive past 100 °C. Freezing does not significantly kill bacteria, bu … t puts it into a dormant stage, where they can no longer thrive and reproduce. 3 people found this useful. <P> A thermophile is an organism — a type of extremophile — that thrives at relatively high temperatures, between 41 and 122 °C (106 and 252 °F). Many thermophiles are archaea. Thermophilic eubacteria are suggested to have been among the earliest bacteria. <P> Other bacteria are anaerobic, and cannot tolerate gaseous oxygen, such as those bacteria which live in deep underwater sediments, or those which cause bacterial food poisoning. The third group are the facultative anaerobes, which prefer growing in the presence of oxygen, but can continue to grow without it. Bacteria grow in a wide variety of habitats and conditions. When most people think of bacteria, they think of disease-causing organisms, like the Streptococcus bacteria growing in culture in this picture, which were isolated from a man with strep throat. <P> Bacteria. Many of us know bacteria only as “germs,” invisible creatures that can invade our bodies and make us sick. Few know that many bacteria not only coexist with us all the time, but help us do an amazing array of useful things like make vitamins, break down some garbage, and even maintain our atmosphere. Some bacteria are photosynthetic (foe-toe-sin-theh-tick) —they can make their own food from sunlight, just like plants. Also like plants, they give off oxygen. Other bacteria absorb food from the material they live on or in. Some of these bacteria can live off unusual foods such as iron or sulfur. <P> Food-borne illness often shows itself as flu-like symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever, so many people may not recognize the illness is caused by bacteria or other pathogens on food. Thousands of types of bacteria are naturally present in our environment. Not all bacteria cause disease in humans. Bacteria that cause disease are called “pathogens.” When certain pathogens enter the food supply, they can cause food-borne illness. Only a few types cause millions of cases of food-borne illness each year. <P> Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, and the deep portions of Earth's crust. Bacteria also live in symbiotic and parasitic relationships with plants and animals. Carbon metabolism in bacteria is either heterotrophic, where organic carbon compounds are used as carbon sources, or autotrophic, meaning that cellular carbon is obtained by fixing carbon dioxide. Heterotrophic bacteria include parasitic types. <P> 1 Water -- Bacteria need water to dissolve the food they use for energy and growth. 2 Water allows the food to get into the cells, is used for the many chemical reactions necessary for life and growth, and allows waste products to escape. 3 Food/Nutrients -- All bacteria require energy to live and grow. Describe the conditions favorable to the growth of bacteria in food. Bacteria are everywhere. Some are beneficial, such as those used to make fermented dairy and meat products. Others cause spoilage. And, a small percentage are harmful or pathogenic. <P> Many factors affect bacterial growth but the most important ones are: 1 Water -- Bacteria need water to dissolve the food they use for energy and growth. 2 Water allows the food to get into the cells, is used for the many chemical reactions necessary for life and growth, and allows waste products to escape. Describe the conditions favorable to the growth of bacteria in food. Bacteria are everywhere. Some are beneficial, such as those used to make fermented dairy and meat products. Others cause spoilage. And, a small percentage are harmful or pathogenic. <P> Staphylococcal food poisoning occurs most often in foods that require hand preparation, such as potato salad, ham salad and sandwich spreads. Sometimes these types of foods are left at room temperature for long periods of time, allowing the bacteria to grow and produce toxin. <P> E.coli or Escherichia coli are bacteria that normally live in the intestines of humans and animals. Although, most strains of these bacteria are harmless, several are known to produce toxins that can cause diarrhea. One particular E.coli strain called 0157 can cause severe diarrhea and kidney damage.

visual association cortex definition
|
<P> The visual association cortex Semir Zeki University College London, UK The concept of visual association cortex derives from early myelogenetic studies, assorted cases of so-called visual agnosia and much philosophical speculation. Hence, the commonly used altema-tive term for visual association cortex was the visuo-psy-chic cortex. Large cerebral areas, whose boundaries can be defined with fair precision, were thus inferred to have a function, that of association, though the function itself was not precisely delined. <P> Noun. 1. visual cortex-the cortical area that receives information from the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus. visual area. cortical area, cortical region-any of various regions of the cerebral cortex. <P> The primary (parts of the cortex that receive sensory inputs from the thalamus) visual cortex is also known as V1, V isual area one, and the striate cortex. The extrastriate areas consist of visual areas two (V2), three (V3), four (V4), and five (V5). The visual cortex of the brain is the part of the cerebral cortex responsible for processing visual information. This article addresses the ventral/dorsal model of the visual cortex. Another model for the perceptual/conceptual neuropsychological model of the visual cortex was studied by Raftopolous. <P> Called also first visual area. visual cortex the area of the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex concerned with vision; the striate cortex is also called the first visual area, and the adjacent second and third visual areas serve as its association areas. visual cortex. n. The region of the cerebral cortex occupying the entire surface of the occipital lobe and receiving the visual data from the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus.

The region of the cerebral cortex occupying the entire surface of the occipital lobe and receiving the visual data from the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus. Also called visual area <P> Flechsig used the term ‘association’ cortex to describe these latter areas, believing them to be the Geistige Zentren or Cogitationszentren (mind centres or psychic centres). Hence, the commonly used altema-tive term for visual association cortex was the visuo-psy-chic cortex. Large cerebral areas, whose boundaries can be defined with fair precision, were thus inferred to have a function, that of association, though the function itself was not precisely delined. <P> The activity of nerve cells in visual association cortex also shows that these areas are involved in a higher level of processing. For example, nerve cells in (a part of) the visual association area respond to visual stimuli that have some kind of complex pattern or structure. For example, the visual association area on the lower part of the temporal lobe plays a primary role in your ability to recognize faces, dogs, cars, trees, etc., whereas the primary visual cortex is required for detecting basic features of the visual world: edges, light and dark, location, etc. <P> Noun. 1. visual cortex-the cortical area that receives information from the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus. visual area. cortical area, cortical region-any of various regions of the cerebral cortex.

how long after bluebirds hatch do they leave nest
|
<P> Eastern bluebirds, on the other hand, leave the nest after only 15 to 20 days, but they sometimes stick around to help parents raise another brood that same year. Kestrels take longer, usually beginning short flights 30 to 36 days after hatching. <P> The female broods the chicks to keep them warm, and both parents feed them insects. The fledglings leave the nest 15 to 20 days after hatching. Several studies have shown that some young stay around the nest to help their parents care for a second clutch. Young bluebirds may begin mating when they are one year old. <P> Incubation does not begin until all eggs have been laid, so they will hatch at the same time. Since it was hot, I rarely saw this female on the nest. Incubation typically lasts 12-14 days. The female may wait about a week to start incubating the clutch if weather is still cold. <P> By day 13 –14 they are ready to leave the nest. Bluebirds will remain with their parents and the fledglings of successive nesting during their first season grouping. Here they gather in a loose flock during the summer to feed. Southern migration is determined by the weather and food availability. <P> Birds that are precocial-meaning that when they hatch their eyes are open, they have down feathers, and are immediately mobile-will leave the nest within a few hours, up to two days. Examples are ducks, turkeys, and quail. <P> Birds that nest early have time to raise two families. If they do raise two families, they normally bond as a pair for the rest of the season. The male bluebird takes over the feeding process for about 10 days, once the female begins a second nest. <P> Birds that are altricial -- meaning that when they hatch their eyes are usually not open, they have no down feathers, are relatively immobile, and are completely dependent on their parents -- will stay in the nest for as long as 270 days. <P> When hatchlings are 8 days old, their eyes begin to open. Pin feathers begin appearing within 10 days of hatching. Once the youngsters are 12-14 days old, they become very skittish and will bail out of a nest if disturbed. For this reason, nest-box checks should be curtailed when the young bluebirds reach this age. <P> Bluebirds can fledge (leave the nest) anywhere from 16 to 21 days after hatching. When the birds get close to leaving, you can see them poking their heads out from the entrance hole of the bird house. It's important to NOT open the nest box when you are within 5 days or so of fledging.

<P> A urinary tract infection-a UTI can cause cloudy urine. The urinary tract infection may be accompanied with burning or painful urination. A bladder infection (a more specific type of urinary tract infection), also known as Cystitis, may cause cloudy urine. Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder. The bladder infection may also be accompanied by painful urination, difficulty in urination and frequent urination. Kidney stones may cause cloudy urine. They can cause pus in the urine, which gives your pee that milky or cloudy look. If you have kidney stones, the pain of the stones may lead you to see a doctor more quickly than the cloudy urine. Food can cause a change in the consistency and color of your urine, although they are not the usual cause of cloudy urine. Blood in urine-When the blood is microscopic, it may not show bright red or dark red but rather it may appear as <P> Causes of Cloudy urine: The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of Cloudy urine.

A small amount of blood in the urine that is not visible to the naked eye can also cause cloudy urine. Cloudy urine can also be caused by diseases of other body systems and diseases that cause the excretion of protein in the urine, which can cloud urine when present in high levels. <P> Cloudy Urine. Cloudy urine is the turbidity of the urine with a cloudy appearance, that shows a brown, red, white, yellow or dark urine. Usually, it is normal or caused by urine infection, mixed with crystals, blood, bacteria, mucus, pus, free fat globules, epithelial cells or white blood cells in urine. <P> Cloudy urine may be a sign of a urinary tract infection, sediment from a distended bladder, blood in urine, an enterovesicular fistula, gonorrhea, Schistosomiasis, or vaginal discharge.

where is the plantar aponeurosis
|
<P> The plantar aponeurosis, or plantar fascia, has received considerable attention in the scientific literature and has been shown to be the most important structure for dynamic longitudinal arch support in the foot [ 1 ]. <P> Plantar aponeurosis. The plantar aponeurosis, also known as the plantar fascia, is a strong layer of white fibrous tissue located beneath the skin on the sole of the foot. Towards the front of the foot, at the mid-metatarsal level, it divides into five sections, each extending into a toe and straddling the flexor tendons. During walking, the plantar aponeurosis functions mainly during heel rise to toe off.. It stabilizes the arch of the foot and allows flexion of the first metatarsal, enabling the first metatarsal to carry the majority of the body weight. It also provides shock absorption when the foot hits the ground. <P> The plantar fascia is the thick connective tissue (aponeurosis) which supports the arch on the bottom (plantar side) of the foot. It runs from the tuberosity of the calcaneus (heel bone) forward to the heads of the metatarsal bones (the bone between each toe and the bones of the mid foot). The plantar fascia is a broad structure that spans between the medial calcaneal tubercle and the proximal phalanges of the toes. Recent studies suggest that the plantar fascia is actually an aponeurosis rather than true fascia. <P> The plantar fascia is a thickened fibrous aponeurosis that originates from the medial tubercle of the calcaneus and runs forward to form the longitudinal foot arch. The function of the plantar fascia is to provide static support of the longitudinal arch and dynamic shock absorption. Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain in adults. The pain is usually caused by collagen degeneration (which is sometimes misnamed “chronic inflammation”) at the origin of the plantar fascia at the medial tubercle of the calcaneus. <P> Plantar fasciitis (PLAN-tur fas-e-I-tis) is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your very first steps in the morning. <P> Topic Overview. Plantar fasciitis (say PLAN-ter fash-ee-EYE-tus) is the most common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia is the flat band of tissue (ligament) that connects your heel bone to your toes. It supports the arch of your foot. If you strain your plantar fascia, it gets weak, swollen, and irritated (inflamed). <P> Plantar Fasciitis. Also referred to as 'jogger's heel', plantar fasciitis is probably the most common cause of heel pain. This injury is the result of damage and inflammation to a band of tissue in the foot, the plantar fascia. The pain caused by this injury often radiates into the arch of the foot. <P> Plantar Fasciitis. Inflammation of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot (plantar fascia) causing heel pain. The plantar fascia (also called plantar aponeurosis) are bands of fibrous tissue extending to the toes. PubMed Health Glossary. <P> Inflammation or injury of the plantar aponeurosis (known as plantar fasciitis) is common in athletes and will cause foot pain and may result in further leg injuries if left untreated. The condition is treated with rest, pain relievers, or in extreme cases, extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Back to Foot. During walking, the plantar aponeurosis functions mainly during heel rise to toe off.. It stabilizes the arch of the foot and allows flexion of the first metatarsal, enabling the first metatarsal to carry the majority of the body weight. It also provides shock absorption when the foot hits the ground.

how to type backslash on US keyboard
|
<P> Our computers had Korean keyboards, with no obvious backslash. The solution is to use the character code. Hold down the ALT key and type 92 using the numeric keypad (not the numbers on the top of the main letters section). When you release the ALT key you'll get a backslash. The same trick can be used for accented characters such as e (é alt) 130 or (E ë). Alt · 137 neil 4. years ago <P> When using windows auth usernames usually contain a backslash \, I can't type it, when I do the textbox (or textarea) just loose focus, and no backslash is added. I tried switching to input mode, but it doesn't help. I'm using: 1 Vimum 1.30. 2 Chrome 15.0.874.121. 3 Windows 7. 4 Spanish Latin Keyboard. <P> Alternatively referred to as a backward slash and reverse solidus, the backslash is a character \ first introduced by Bob Bemer in 1960. A backslash can be used to represent a file path in MS-DOS and Windows, for example, c:\windows is an example of the backslash being used. <P> 3. I'm trying to use a UK keymap on a physical US keyboard on my notebook (Asus Zenbook UX31E). My keyboard has vertical bar and backslash (| and \) above the Enter key, but I get hash and tilde instead. On UK keyboards, pipe and backslash seem to be just to the left of the Z key. I use a European keyboard and have only a forward-slash / . Using the alt to the right of the space bar (alt gr) together with the key for / gives | . Using alt to the right of the space bar (alt gr), plus shift, plus key for / gives backslash \ . share | improve this answer <P> Zacy5000 said: Or you could use 'Alt Gr + The normal US button for backslash'. Alt Gr is the one to the right hand side of the space bar and the normal US button for the backslash is next to the enter button and shift key (may slightly differ on different keyboards). This is much easier then using the Alt code. This is more for my own reference than anything else but today I was needing to enter a backslash key while using a US keyboard but with UK keyboard settings. After trying pretty much every key on the keyboard in all combinations, I realised there was no key combination that would do this directly. <P> Answer: The backslash key is located near the Enter or Return key on most keyboards. It is most often found directly to the left of the Enter key, but can also be placed below or above the enter key. The backslash key is located directly above the the Return key on Apple keyboards. It is important to differentiate between the backslash and the forward slash keys. The backslash key has a pipe character above it, which is a straight vertical line. The forward slash key has a question mark above it. Forward slashes are used to designate directories in URLs, i.e. http://www.sharpened.net/helpcenter/ , while backslashes are used do designate Windows directories, like you may see in Windows Explorer, i.e. C:\Program Files\ . <P> I regularly battle my office computer's Japanese keyboard. Try writing an email when the apostrophe is Shift+7, rather than just next to your pinky (it:s annoying). Or try typing with a shortened space bar, where the new key just to the left of the space bar switches the keyboard into Japanese letters... おぱす. Yesterday I was stumped with a new challenge. I needed to type a backslash (\) in order to remotely log in to another computer. <P> I bought my MacBook here in Japan so I have the Japanese Keyboard. I need to know how to type the BACKSLASH \ character. What I'm doing right now is that I just copy-paste the backslash character to my programs. It's a little tedious and so not efficient so I hope you guys can help me.

For Absolut Vodka, pure vodka doesn’t mean a neutral vodka, and one of the key aspects of Absolut is that you can taste elements of the winter wheat. The nose of Absolut has a yeasty breadiness which comes from both the Swedish winter wheat used to make the vodka as well as the custom yeast used in the fermentation. <P> So, your basic bottle of Smirnoff is fine for mixed drinks, but you wouldn't want to drink shots of it. Conversely, top-shelf brands such as Armadale and Jewel of Russia are too good—and too expensive—to mix with anything but ice and/or tonic water and are best drunk straight and straight from the freezer. <P> It’s just like anything in the world, make your own decisions about a product. I personally choose to avoid the brand. I’ve reviewed Absolut Vodka and personally don’t think it’s anything special. Not because I have some distaste for the company, just the vodka.

what type of plant is a geranium and where is it found
|
<P> Along with their pretty flowers, most have beautiful foliage. Most geranium plants will produce more flowers if planted in a sunny position. Geraniums will grow in partial shade, but flowering may be reduced. Geraniums prefer well drained soil and are not particular about soil type as long as it is well drained. Geraniums are not heavy users of fertilizer. Apply a light amount of 20-20-20 twice during the growing season. <P> * Widely-grown and commonly misnamed geraniums should be called Pelargoniums.. More on The Geranium Family (Geraniaceae) & the Genus Pelargonium By Wayne Handlos, Ph.D. The geranium family consists of several genera of plants commonly referred to as geraniums or cranesbills. These plants have become popular among the cactus and succulent growers. Types of Pelargonium s: Zonal geraniums * (Pelargonium x hortorum), Ivy geraniums * (Pelargonium peltatum), Carnation flowered geraniums* The petals of these flowers have a toothed or fringed edge. <P> Geranium. Pelargonium. Geraniums have been a gardener's favorite for well over a century. The old-fashioned standard for beds, borders, and containers, geranium is still one of the most popular plants today. Traditional bedding types love hot weather and hold up well to dry conditions; many offer colorful foliage. It grows 24 inches tall and 14 inches wide. Pelargonium 'Designer Red' is a heat-loving geranium that offers rich red flowers on compact, 14-inch-tall plants. Pelargonium 'Easter Greeting' is a cool-season regal type with cerise-pink flowers that have dark purple blotches. The plants grow 12 inches tall. <P> Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. They are found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. Confusingly, geranium is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium (sometimes known as 'storksbill'), which are also in the Geraniaceae family. These are generally half-hardy plants which are either grown from seed every year, or offered as bedding in spring and discarded after flowering <P> These are called butterfly leaf geraniums. (Variegated leaf cultivars are also found in other types of geraniums too.) In some cultivars, the whole leaf is a lighter shade of green and these are commonly referred to as golden leaf geraniums. Many of the fancy leaf geraniums are sensitive to strong, direct sunlight and grow best in somewhat shady locations. These plants have become popular among the cactus and succulent growers. Types of Pelargonium s: Zonal geraniums * (Pelargonium x hortorum), Ivy geraniums * (Pelargonium peltatum), Carnation flowered geraniums* The petals of these flowers have a toothed or fringed edge. <P> Also known as garden geraniums or common geraniums, zonal geraniums often have variegated leaves with patterns or dark and light green, white or silver. These are the geraniums most often cultivated in home gardens, with large, showy blossoms of white, pink, red or salmon. They may be single or double blossomed. Geraniums are among the most popular flowers for home gardeners. Each spring and summer the aisles of garden centers are filled with every color and type of geranium for sale. <P> Pelargonium /ˌpɛlɑrˈɡoʊniəm/ is a genus of flowering plants which includes about 200 species of perennials, succulents, and shrubs, commonly known as geraniums (in the United States also storksbills).

why is carbon dioxide a gas
|
<P> The water molecule is a polar compound and carbon dioxide is not. That is, in the water molecule, the two hydrogen atoms are not in a straight line through the center of the oxygen atom. They are bent at a little over 100 degrees, not 180 degrees. The two oxygen atoms are in a straight line through the carbon molecule. Therefore, the carbon dioxide molecule does not have a positive side or a negative side. The bonds between the carbon dioxide molecules are much weaker than those between the water molecules at the same temperature. <P> A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Without greenhouse gases, the average temperature of Earth's surface would be about 15 °C (27 °F) colder than the present average of 14 °C (57 °F). <P> Carbon dioxide is a gas at room temperature because its molecules have enough thermal energy at room temperature that they won't stick together. Heat (or lack of it) is what drives change of state. No. CO2 is not considered to be a poison. Carbon dioxide is an asphyxiant. Concentrations of 10% or more can produce unconsciousness or death. An asphyxia … nt gas is a nontoxic gas which reduces or displaces the normal oxygen concentration in breathing air. <P> Carbon dioxide exists in the Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas at a concentration of about 0.04 percent (400 ppm) by volume. Natural sources include volcanoes, hot springs and geysers and it is freed from carbonate rocks by dissolution in water and acids. Carbon dioxide is produced during the processes of decay of organic materials and the fermentation of sugars in bread, beer and winemaking. It is produced by combustion of wood, carbohydrates and fossil fuels such as coal, peat, petroleum and natural gas. <P> Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a product of respiration of all aerobic organisms. It is returned to water via the gills of fish and to the air via the lungs of air-breathing land animals, including humans. Carbon dioxide is produced during the processes of decay of organic materials and the fermentation of sugars in bread, beer and winemaking. It is produced by combustion of wood, carbohydrates and fossil fuels such as coal, peat, petroleum and natural gas. <P> The rest of the carbon dioxide is either dissolved carbon dioxide gas (CO2) or carbonic acid (H2CO3). Your kidneys and lungs balance the levels of carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, and carbonic acid in the blood. This test measures the level of bicarbonate in a sample of blood from a vein. <P> Carbon dioxide is continuously cycling among the earth, plants and animals, the atmosphere and the ocean's surface, with the deep ocean serving as a gigantic long-term reservoir. Up until the last two centuries, this carbon cycle had been in close balance for the last 10,000 years. Two hundred years ago, only 24 of those molecules would have been CO2. Today, 33 molecules are – a 40 percent rise of a key greenhouse gas. The reference to one molecule is misleading: By talking ratios, the Galileo Movement obscures the staggering amount of carbon dioxide society has pumped into the air. <P> Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas. Burning of carbon-based fuels since the industrial revolution has rapidly increased its concentration in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. It is also a major cause of ocean acidification since it dissolves in water to form carbonic acid. Carbon dioxide is produced during the processes of decay of organic materials and the fermentation of sugars in bread, beer and winemaking. It is produced by combustion of wood, carbohydrates and fossil fuels such as coal, peat, petroleum and natural gas. <P> Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a colorless, odorless gas vital to life on Earth. This naturally occurring chemical compound is composed of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. Carbon dioxide is produced during the processes of decay of organic materials and the fermentation of sugars in bread, beer and winemaking. It is produced by combustion of wood, carbohydrates and fossil fuels such as coal, peat, petroleum and natural gas. <P> Answer: You probably know carbon dioxide is a gas that is present in the air you breathe. Plants breathe it in order to make glucose. You exhale carbon dioxide gas as a by-product of respiration. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is one of the greenhouse gases. You find it added to soda, naturally occurring in beer, and in its solid form as dry ice.

what is halon
|
<P> Halon is a fire suppressant agent found in both Fire Suppression Systems (Halon 1301) and Fire Extinguishers (Halon 1211). This is the most effective extinguishing agent available. Halon is a clean agent, which means it leaves no residue when used, so causes no damage to your property. return to top. <P> Halon. In the mid to late 1980’s evidence was gathered that pointed to Halon 1301 (and other Halogenated chemicals) as contributing significantly to the depletion of the earth’s stratospheric ozone layer, which shields the planet from damaging UV-B radiation. Beside the fact that Halon 1301 is a known ozone depleting chemical, there is absolutely nothing wrong with existing Halon systems if they are properly maintained. As stated previously Halon 1301 is an excellent fire suppression agent. It is versatile (effective on all classes of fire) <P> A halon system is a type of gaseous fire suppression system which operates with halon gas. In the 1980s, halon was recognized as an ozone-depleting compound, and production of additional halon was largely banned. Halon was introduced in the 1960s as a form of gaseous fire suppression, and it also has a history of use as a refrigerant. In a halon system, pressurized tanks of the gas are connected to a series of pipes and nozzles. When a fire is detected, the gas is released. <P> Halon is a liquefied, compressed gas that stops the spread of fire by chemically disrupting combustion. Halon 1211 (a liquid streaming agent) and Halon 1301 (a gaseous flooding agent) leave no residue and are remarkably safe for human exposure. Halon is rated for class B (flammable liquids) and C (electrical fires), but it is also effective on class A (common combustibles) fires. Halon is effective on common combustibles (although not as effective as water), but Halon is also effective on class B (flammable liquids), and it does not conduct electricity back to the extinguisher operator (class C). Halon is similar to CO2 in that it is suitable for use in cold weather and leaves no residue. <P> Halon Fire Extinguishers Halon fire extinguisher are a specialty type of fire extinguisher that contain a gas that interrupts the chemical reaction that takes place when fuels burn. This type of fire extinguisher is often used to protect valuable electrical equipment since they leave no residue. <P> Noun. 1. halon-a compound in which the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon have been replaced by bromine and other halogen atoms; very stable; used in fire extinguishers although it is thought to release bromine that depletes the ozone layer. organic compound-any compound of carbon and another element or a radical. halon. n. 1. (Chemistry) any of a class of chemical compounds derived from hydrocarbons by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms by bromine atoms and other hydrogen atoms by other halogen atoms (chlorine, fluorine, or iodine). <P> Halon gas is a chemical compound that is often used in fire suppression systems. While several different types of halon have been developed since this product was first invented, many were dangerous or deadly to humans. Since the late 20th century, two safer types of halon have replaced earlier versions. Halon gas may be used in an overhead fire suppression systems or in a chemical fire extinguisher. Ad. While the two currently used types of halon gas are not generally considered deadly, they can still produce toxic by-products as they work to extinguish a fire. <P> Halon 1301 was introduced as an effective gaseous fire suppression agent in the 1960s, and was used around valuable materials, such as aircraft, mainframe computers, and telecommunication switching centers, usually in total flooding systems. Bromotrifluoromethane, commonly known as Halon 1301, R13B1, Halon 13B1 or BTM, is an organic halide with the chemical formula C Br F 3. It is used for fire suppression and refrigeration. Human exposure to Halon 1301 can be toxic, affecting the central nervous system and other bodily function

what is a fast shutter speed used for
|
<P> Using flash is another way to freeze movement. The light from the flash is emitted in a fraction of a second and the position of the subject at that moment will be isolated in the image. Don't use a fast shutter speed with flash. The recommended speed for most cameras is usually 60th of a second, or slower. The shutter needs to be wide open at the moment the flash goes off; at fast shutter speeds this does not happen, so if you use flash with a fast shutter speed, your picture will be sadly cropped <P> In photography, shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, also when a camera 's shutter is open when taking a photograph. The amount of light that reaches the film or image sensor is proportional to the exposure time. In addition to its effect on exposure, the shutter speed changes the way movement appears in photographs. Very short shutter speeds can be used to freeze fast-moving subjects, for example at sporting events. Very long shutter speeds are used to intentionally blur a moving subject for effect. Short exposure times are sometimes called fast, and long exposure times slow <P> Using an Automatic Camera. If you are trying to take pictures with a fast shutter speed and your camera does not have either a manual or a shutter priority mode, all hope is not lost. There are a couple of settings, usually in the scene modes of your camera, that you can try. Why Use a Fast Shutter Speed. There are many instances when using a fast shutter speed is necessary to get the shot you want. The first and foremost reason would be to counteract your own body's shake when shooting handheld. <P> Many sports use very fast shutter speeds to capture the peak moment and freeze it in time. If the subject of your photo is not moving, or you want to show the passage of time (with a running river or waterfall), then you can use a slower shutter speed. Shutter speed is measured in fractions of seconds and seconds. Here is an example of shutter speed numbers, from fast to slow: 1/2000 1/1500 1/1000 1/750 1/500 1/350 1/250 1/180 1/125 1/90 1/60 1/45 1/30. Realize that 1/2000 of a second is incredibly fast and is not a shutter speed that you will typically use. <P> If you want to photograph something that is moving, you need a fast shutter speed. 1 Use 1/500 for general photography of everyday events, sports, and subjects. 2 Use 1/1000-1/4000 when shooting subjects that are extremely fast and up close. 1/1000-1/2000 works well when photographing birds. 1 Typically only the denominator is marked on the camera. 2 For example, 125 means 1/125 second. 3 Some cameras allow you to take photos at a shutter speed in full seconds, such as 1, 2, or 10 seconds. 4 This is used for low light photography and a lot of movement. <P> 1 Camera shake is when your camera is moving while the shutter is open and results in blur in your photos. 2 If you’re using a slow shutter speed (anything slower than 1/60) you will need to either use a tripod or some some type of image stabilization (more and more cameras are coming with this built in). 1 Shutter speed is measured in seconds – or in most cases fractions of seconds. 2 The bigger the denominator the faster the speed (ie 1/1000 is much faster than 1/30). 3 In most cases you’ll probably be using shutter speeds of 1/60th of a second or faster. <P> The camera's shutter speed, the lens's aperture (also called f-stop), and the scene's luminance together determine the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor (the exposure). Exposure value (EV) is a quantity that accounts for the shutter speed and the f-number. In addition to its effect on exposure, the shutter speed changes the way movement appears in photographs. Very short shutter speeds can be used to freeze fast-moving subjects, for example at sporting events. Very long shutter speeds are used to intentionally blur a moving subject for effect. Short exposure times are sometimes called fast, and long exposure times slow <P> The shutter speed you will need to use depends on the type of photograph you want to take. For example, if you want to take a photograph of water frozen in action with every little bead in focus, then you would choose a fast shutter speed like 1/500 of a second. Shutter speed and the difference between fast and slow shutter speeds on digital slr cameras. Wikipedia describes shutter speed as being the amount of time a digital cameras shutter is held open for when taking a photograph. <P> The fastest shutter speed here is 2000th of a second, the slowest is 1 full second. The difference between each shutter speed is known as a stop, and either halves or doubles the amount of light allowed to reach the film. The B setting is used to keep the shutter open for a timed exposure of longer than 1 second. The light from the flash is emitted in a fraction of a second and the position of the subject at that moment will be isolated in the image. Don't use a fast shutter speed with flash. The recommended speed for most cameras is usually 60th of a second, or slower.

what is streptokinase used for
|
<P> There are three domains to Streptokinase, denoted α (residues 1–150), β (residues 151–287), and γ (residues 288–414). The usual activation of Plasminogen (Plgn) is by proteolysis of the Arg561—Val562 bond. The amino group of Val562 then forms a salt-bridge with Asp740, which triggers a conformational change producing the active protease Plasmin (Pm). When (SK) is present, it binds to Plgn to form a complex (SK. <P> Streptokinase is used to dissolve blood clots that have formed in the blood vessels. It is used immediately after symptoms of a heart attack occur to improve patient survival. This medicine may also be used to treat blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) and in the legs (deep venous thrombosis) . Streptokinase is also used to dissolve blood clots in tubes (catheters) that are inserted in <P> Pulmonary Embolism: Streptase, Streptokinase, is indicated for the lysis of objectively diagnosed (angiography or lung scan) pulmonary emboli, involving obstruction of blood flow to a lobe or multiple segments, with or without unstable hemodynamics. Occlusion of Arteriovenous Cannulae: Streptase, Streptokinase, is indicated as an alternative to surgical revision for clearing totally or partially occluded arteriovenous cannulae when acceptable flow cannot be achieved. <P> As Streptokinase is a bacterial product, the body has the ability to build up an immunity to it. Therefore, it is recommended that this medication should not be used again after four days from the first administration, as it may not be as effective and can also cause an allergic reaction. The usual activation of Plasminogen (Plgn) is by proteolysis of the Arg561—Val562 bond. The amino group of Val562 then forms a salt-bridge with Asp740, which triggers a conformational change producing the active protease Plasmin (Pm). When (SK) is present, it binds to Plgn to form a complex (SK. <P> streptokinase. an enzyme produced by streptococci that catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin; abbreviated SK. Streptokinase, when administered as a thrombolytic, requires detailed and skilled control to avoid hemorrhage. It also is capable of producing severe antigenic reactions upon readministration <P> Streptokinase (SK) is an enzyme secreted by several species of streptococci that can bind and activate human plasminogen. SK is used as an effective and inexpensive thrombolysis medication in some cases of myocardial infarction (heart attack) and pulmonary embolism. The usual activation of Plasminogen (Plgn) is by proteolysis of the Arg561—Val562 bond. The amino group of Val562 then forms a salt-bridge with Asp740, which triggers a conformational change producing the active protease Plasmin (Pm). When (SK) is present, it binds to Plgn to form a complex (SK. <P> streptokinase. an enzyme produced by streptococci that catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. It is administered intravenously as a thrombolytic agent in the treatment of acute coronary arterial thrombosis, acute pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, and acute arterial thromboembolism or thrombosis. an enzyme produced by streptococci that catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin; abbreviated SK. Streptokinase, when administered as a thrombolytic, requires detailed and skilled control to avoid hemorrhage. <P> Extra production of plasmin caused by streptokinase breaks down unwanted blood clots, for example, in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). The usual activation of Plasminogen (Plgn) is by proteolysis of the Arg561—Val562 bond. The amino group of Val562 then forms a salt-bridge with Asp740, which triggers a conformational change producing the active protease Plasmin (Pm). When (SK) is present, it binds to Plgn to form a complex (SK. <P> Arterial Thrombosis or Embolism: Streptase, Streptokinase, is indicated for the lysis of acute arterial thrombi and emboli. Streptokinase is not indicated for arterial emboli originating from the left side of the heart due to the risk of new embolic phenomena such as cerebral embolism. Occlusion of Arteriovenous Cannulae: Streptase, Streptokinase, is indicated as an alternative to surgical revision for clearing totally or partially occluded arteriovenous cannulae when acceptable flow cannot be achieved. <P> Streptokinase is called a thrombolytic agent and works best when it is given soon after the onset of heart attack symptoms. Streptokinase can also dissolve blood clots that form in intravenous catheters (tubing that goes into a vein for the infusion of intravenous fluids or medicines). STREPTOKINASE (Kabikinase®, Streptase®) can dissolve blood clots that form in the heart, blood vessels, or lungs after a heart attack, or some other disease process.

<P> To help you appreciate the expressive power of the modern mathematical language, and as a tribute to those who achieved so much without it, I collected a few samples of (original but translated) formulation of theorems and their equivalents in modern math language. <P> As such it is about teach-. ing and learning the tool of language in mathematics and not about grap-. pling with the deeper problems such as the discovery of new mathematics. or the heuristic exposition of complex mathematical ideas or the emotional. experience of doing <P> Mathematics is not a “first” language; that is, it does not originate as a spoken language, except for the naming of small whole numbers. Mathematics has both formal and informal expressions, which we might characterize as “school math” and “street math” (Usiskin, 1996). <P> However, the language of Mathematics does not consist of formulas alone. The definitions and terms are verbalized often acquiring a meaning different from the customary one. Many students are inclined to hold this against mathematics. For example, one may wonder whether 0 is a number. As the argument goes, it is not, because when one says, I watched a number of movies, one does not mean 0 as a possibility. 1 is an unlikely candidate either. <P> 1 The symbolic assertion $x^2-x-2=0$ is true for the numbers $x=-1$ and $x=2$, but not for any other number. $ 2 x^2-y^2=(x-y)(x+y)$ is a symbolic assertion with two variables. 3 It is true for all numbers $x$ and $y$. 4 Such a thing is commonly called an algebraic identity or identity relation. <P> A symbolic term is a symbolic expression that refers to some mathematical object. A symbolic term names something.

what is chicory root extract
|
<P> Chicory is the root of the endive -- a perennial herb that has been used in culinary and medicinal applications dating back to ancient Egypt. With its leaves, roots and the derivatives of each playing a variety of roles in food and medicine, this versatile plant has maintained a place in pantries all over the world. Flavoring. Chicory root extract has been used to flavor both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, whereas the shoots and leaves of the plant are used as a vegetable and salad green. <P> Chicory root extract is a dietary supplement or food additive produced by mixing dried, ground chicory root with water, and removing the insoluble fraction by filtration and centrifugation. Other methods may be used to remove pigments and sugars. It is used as a source of soluble fiber. Fresh chicory root typically contains, by dry weight, 68% inulin, 14% sucrose, 5% cellulose, 6% protein, 4% ash, and 3% other compounds. Dried chicory root extract contains, by weight, approximately 98% inulin and 2% other compounds. Common chicory is also known as blue daisy, blue dandelion, blue sailors, blue weed, bunk, coffeeweed, cornflower, hendibeh, horseweed, ragged sailors, succory, wild bachelor's buttons, and wild endive. <P> Derived from the root of the Cichorium intybus plant, chicory root extract may impart health benefits when used as a medicinal treatment. Photo Credit Manu9171/iStock/Getty Images. Derived from the root of the Cichorium intybus plant, chicory root extract may impart health benefits when used as a medicinal treatment. Historically, chicory root has been used as a sedative, anti-inflammatory and digestive aid. <P> Chicory, more precisely root chicory (Cichorium intybus), grows all over the United States and is cultivated in Mediterranean areas in Europe, where it is roasted, ground, and used as a coffee substitute. Food manufacturers now extract inulin from chicory root and add it to edible products such as yogurt, ice cream, chocolate bars, breakfast bars, salad dressings and margarine. Because it has a smooth and creamy texture, it has been called the stealth fiber, and it works well as a replacement for fat. <P> Chicory Extract. Chicory extract is made from drying and grinding the chicory and is used in high fiber diet as supplement or food additive. The grinded chicory is mixed with water that filter out all the soluble elements. The chicory root is a naturally occurring polysaccharide plant fiber that is rich in inulin. The chicory extract is food additive or the dietary supplement that is produced by mixing grinded root with water. The insoluble elements are removed by filtration and centrifugal action. Various other actions are also been taken to remove sugar extract and pigments. <P> Sometimes called chicory root fiber, inulin is also found in bananas, wheat, onions, and garlic, but chicory root has very high concentrations. Food manufacturers now extract inulin from chicory root and add it to edible products such as yogurt, ice cream, chocolate bars, breakfast bars, salad dressings and margarine. Because it has a smooth and creamy texture, it has been called the stealth fiber, and it works well as a replacement for fat. <P> Now, you know that both chicory roots and extract contain inulin, which is a soluble fiber, that is having various health benefits, especially for the digestive system. Inulin is a type of naturally occurring plant fiber and chicory having high levels of this fiber is said to be rich in chicory root fiber. While, fresh chicory roots contain around 20 to 25% of inulin (by total weight, dried chicory root extract contains almost 98% inulin. So, chicory root extract is now widely used as a dietary supplement or as an additive. In order to prepare chicory root extracts, fresh roots are dried, ground and mixed with water. <P> Chicory root extract is created by drying and grinding the root, mixing it with water, then filtering the mixture to remove the solids. As with any supplement, check with your doctor before adding it to your diet, as allergic reactions or other adverse effects may occur. Flavoring. Chicory root extract has been used to flavor both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, whereas the shoots and leaves of the plant are used as a vegetable and salad green. <P> Skin Irritation. Allowing chicory root extract to come in contact with your skin may result in skin irritation. The exposed skin region may appear inflamed or flushed and may begin to itch. Such side effects are typically temporary and subside within a few hours after the irritant is rinsed from the skin. Photo Credit Manu9171/iStock/Getty Images.

how many grams of fat are you supposed to consume daily
|
<P> take the number of calories you consume daily, and take 20% of this number (the amount of fat calories per day you need). in your case, you should consume 360 fat calori … es. one gram of fat is equal to 9 fat calories, so divide the 360 grams of fat by nine, to give you 40 grams of dat per day. <P> Answer The amount of Fat grams you should intake is based on your daily calorie intake. You should aim for 20-30% of your daily values to come from lipids. For ex … ample, if you daily calorie intake is 2000 calories per day, then, you should be intaking between 400 and 600 calories from fat. <P> So, whatever YOUR total daily calorie intake is, 20-30% of that (or 25% exactly if you want to be right smack in the middle) is how many calories fat will account for in your diet each day. <P> Fat Recommendations. The amount of fat you need each day depends on your calorie needs. The Institute of Medicine recommends adults consume between 20 to 35 percent of their daily calories from fat. Fat provides 9 calories per gram. <P> Dietary guidelines suggest that healthy adults generally limit dietary fat to no more than 20 to 35 percent of total daily calories. To figure out how many fat grams or calories that means for you, start with the number of calories you normally eat or want to eat a day. <P> Daily Grams of Fat. Based on a 2,000 calorie diet, your recommended fat intake is around 400 to 700 calories per day, which is 20 to 35 percent. Since each gram of fat has 9 calories, your ideal amount ranges between 45 to 78 grams of fat per day. Your recommended saturated fat intake is 22 grams or less per day. <P> For example, you’d need 36 to 62 grams of fat when consuming a 1,600-calorie diet per day, 44 to 78 grams if eating a 2,000-calorie diet per day and 58 to 101 grams of fat when consuming 2,600 calories per day.

what were hatchets used for in neolithic
|
<P> The Langdale industry was one of many which extracted hard stone for manufacture into polished axes. The Neolithic period was a time of settlement on the land, and the development of farming on a large scale. <P> During the Neolithic age, axes made from stone and set into a wooden handle were a key part of mans toolkit. At this time Britain was still heavily forested and man used the axe to chop down trees and to clear the landscape for farming. <P> The Neolithic, or New Stone Age [1-4] View a summary of this chapter The key invention that ushered in the Neolithic Age was farming. <P> The Neolithic era or the New Stone Age was approximately from 10,000 to 3,000 BCE. The end of this era brought with it the end of the Stone Age and the rise of the Copper Age. <P> The Neolithic, or New Stone Age, was a period in the development of human technology that is traditionally the last part of the Stone Age. In the region of sub-Saharan Africa, the Neolithic period began at 4,000 BC and ended roughly 1,000 BC which dates all Neolithic stone artifacts from 3,000 to 6,000 years old. Zanzibar carries a selection of these Neolithic arrowheads, spear points, scrapers and other tools. <P> Toward the end of the Neolithic Era, people began to use tools made from metal. Copper was the first metal used for tools. Eventually copper replaced stone, leading to the Copper Age. We will talk in class about an amazing early Copper Age discovery in the mountains near the Italian and Austrian border. <P> The Langdale axe industry is the name given by archaeologists to specialised stone tool manufacturing centred at Great Langdale in England's Lake District during the Neolithic period (beginning about 4000 BC in Britain).

asphalt resurfacing cost
|
<P> 1 According to Drivewayguide.com, the cost of asphalt resurfacing is less than having a new asphalt driveway installed. 2 The cost of asphalt replacement, where a fresh topcoat is placed onto the old asphalt surface, is around $1.50 to $2 per square foot. <P> 1 Depending on the company performing the job, the costs for asphalt resurfacing will usually range around $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. 2 According to Drivewayguide.com, the cost of asphalt resurfacing is less than having a new asphalt driveway installed. <P> Cost of Resurfacing. Resurfacing usually costs anywhere from $1 to $2 per square foot. The price varies based on factors such as your geographic location, local competition, the season and the condition of your driveway. So the cost to resurface a 3,000 square foot driveway would be anywhere from $3,000 to $6,000. <P> Driveway resurfacing is an attractive, long-lasting and cost-effective option for renewing an old asphalt driveway. A typical project involves repairing and preparing the old driveway surface and applying a 1 -inch or thicker layer of new hot mix asphalt (or blacktop, the same stuff used on roadways). <P> 1 According to other sources, an asphalt resurfacing may cost around $5,495 for applying a 2 ½ inch layer of state approved asphalt of 3,285 square feet. 2 This is around $1.67 per square foot based on the information from Gardenweb.com. <P> 600 x $3-$4 = $1,800-$2,400 (estimated asphalt driveway cost). At that approximate cost, a driveway contractor will dig out 4-6 inches of whatever you already have in place, replace it with clean driveway gravel and grade it to a level and compacted surface. After that, they will put down 3-4 inches of base asphalt, and a final coating of 1-2 inches of topcoat. <P> Overlay. Resurfacing is a long-term and cost-effective solution to asphalt failure that can prolong your pavement life by 7 to 12 years. This process costs substantially less than removal and replacement. Since no removal or replacement of asphalt is involved, the process is also quicker and more environmentally friendly.

what are the types of greek architecture of parthenon
|
<P> While the integration of Doric and Ionic elements on the same temple was not a new development in Greek architecture, it was rare, and bestowed on the Parthenon a delicate balance between austere and delicate visual characteristics. All temples in Greece were designed to be seen only from the outside. At the approximate position where the Parthenon was built later, the Athenians began the construction of a building that was burned by the Persians while it was still under construction in 480 BCE. <P> Ancient Greek architecture is best known from its temples, many of which are found throughout the region, mostly as ruins but many substantially intact. The second important type of building that survives all over the Hellenic world is the open-air theatre, with the earliest dating from around 350 BC. The first signs of the particular artistic character that defines Ancient Greek architecture are to be seen in the pottery of the Dorian Greeks from the 10th century BC. Already at this period it is created with a sense of proportion, symmetry and balance not apparent in similar pottery from Crete and Mycenae. <P> Parthenon-temple of Athena Parthenos (Virgin), Greek goddess of wisdom, on the Acropolis in Athens. The Parthenon was built in the 5th century BC, and despite the enormous damage it has sustained over the centuries, it still communicates the ideals of order and harmony for which Greek architecture is known. Erechtheum-temple from the middle classical period of Greek art and architecture, built on the Acropolis of Athens between 421 and 405BC. The Erechtheum contained sanctuaries to Athena Polias, Poseidon, and Erechtheus. <P> Built as a tribute to Athena, the goddess of wisdom for whom the city-state Athens was named, the Parthenon is a marvel of design, featuring massive columns contrasting with subtle details. Three different types of columns can be found in ancient Greek architecture. <P> Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and western civilization, and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. These sculptures, now known as the Elgin Marbles or the Parthenon Marbles, were sold in 1816 to the British Museum in London, where they are now displayed. Since 1983 (on the initiative of Culture Minister Melina Mercouri), the Greek government has been committed to the return of the sculptures to Greece. <P> The Parthenon is a large temple, but it is by no means the largest one in Greece. Its aesthetic appeal emanates from the refinement of many established norms of Greek architecture, and from the quality of its sculptural decoration. As a post and lintel temple, the Parthenon presents no engineering breakthrough in building construction. However its stylistic conventions have become the paradigm of Classical architecture, and its style has influenced architecture for many centuries after it was built. <P> The Parthenon itself replaced an older temple of Athena, which historians call the Pre-Parthenon or Older Parthenon, that was destroyed in the Persian invasion of 480 BC. The temple is archaeoastronomically aligned to the Hyades. These sculptures, now known as the Elgin Marbles or the Parthenon Marbles, were sold in 1816 to the British Museum in London, where they are now displayed. Since 1983 (on the initiative of Culture Minister Melina Mercouri), the Greek government has been committed to the return of the sculptures to Greece. <P> The Parthenon is a temple of the Doric order with eight columns at the facade, façade and seventeen columns at the, flanks conforming to the established ratio of:9. 4 At the approximate position where the Parthenon was built later, the Athenians began the construction of a building that was burned by the Persians while it was still under construction in 480 BCE. <P> The magnificent temple on the Acropolis of Athens, known as the Parthenon, was built between 447 and 432 BCE in the Age of Pericles, and it was dedicated to the city ’s patron deity Athena. An `acropolis’ is any citadel or complex built on a high hill. The name derives from the Greek Akro, high or extreme/extremity or edge, and Polis, city, translated as 'High City’, 'City on the Edge’ or 'City in the Air’, the most famous being the Acropolis of Athens, Greece, built in the 5th century BCE.

how does iui procedure work

<P> For some couples with infertility problems, insemination can improve the chances of pregnancy. Donor sperm are used if the male partner is sterile, has an extremely low sperm count, or carries a risk of genetic disease. A woman planning to conceive without a male partner can also use donor sperm. Why It Is Done. Intrauterine insemination or artificial insemination may be done if: 1 Tests have shown no cause for a couple's infertility (unexplained infertility). 2 A man releases semen and sperm into the urinary bladder instead of out the penis (retrograde ejaculation). <P> Intrauterine insemination (IUI). Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is the placing of sperm into a woman's uterus when she is ovulating. This is achieved with a thin flexible tube (catheter) that is passed into the vagina, through the cervix, and into the uterus. IUI can use sperm from the male partner or a donor. Why It Is Done. Intrauterine insemination or artificial insemination may be done if: 1 Tests have shown no cause for a couple's infertility (unexplained infertility). 2 A man releases semen and sperm into the urinary bladder instead of out the penis (retrograde ejaculation). <P> A semen sample will be washed by the lab to separate the semen from the seminal fluid. A catheter will then be used to insert the sperm directly into the uterus. This process maximizes the number of sperm cells that are placed in the uterus, thus increasing the possibility of conception. The IUI procedure takes only a few minutes and involves minimal discomfort. However, IUI may be selected as a fertility treatment for any of the following conditions as well: 1 Unexplained infertility. 2 A hostile cervical condition, including cervical mucus problems. 3 Cervical scar tissue from past procedures which may hinder the sperms’ ability to enter <P> Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a form of assisted conception. During IUI, your doctor will place washed, prepared sperm into your uterus (womb) and near to your egg at your time of ovulation. This procedure is often combined with fertility drugs to increase your chances of conceiving. IUI may help you as a couple if: For IUI to work, your fallopian tubes must be open and healthy. <P> The granddaddy of all fertility treatments, artificial insemination dates back to the late 18th century. In those days, the method involved healthy sperm and something like a turkey baster. Today, sperm is washed and carefully placed in the uterus, using a procedure called intrauterine insemination, or IUI. <P> What to Expect After IUI Procedure. Intrauterine insemination or IUI is a common form of fertility treatment. This procedure is conducted by a gynaecologist. This treatment requires a small tube with sperm to be inserted directly into the uterus. An IUI pregnancy is a much awaited pregnancy. The ability to conceive for most infertile couples occurs with the help of IUI treatment, and success rate can be increased with proper knowledge and deeper awareness of the procedure as well as what to expect and what to do after the IUI process. <P> Intrauterine insemination (IUI): Uses Risks Success Rate. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm inside a woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilization. The goal of IUI is to increase the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the chance of fertilization. However, IUI may be selected as a fertility treatment for any of the following conditions as well: 1 Unexplained infertility. 2 A hostile cervical condition, including cervical mucus problems. 3 Cervical scar tissue from past procedures which may hinder the sperms’ ability to enter the uterus. <P> For women. If you are not using fertility drugs, IUI will be performed between day 12 and 16 of your monthly cycle – with day one being the first day of your period. You will be given blood tests or urine tests to identify when you are about to ovulate. Or: For men: You will be asked to produce a sperm sample on the day the treatment takes place. The sperm will be washed to remove the fluid surrounding them and the rapidly moving sperm will be separated out from the slower sperm. The rapidly moving sperm will be placed in a small catheter to be inserted into the womb. <P> Getting ready for the IUI procedure Before the intrauterine insemination procedure, you will need to visit a fertility specialist and have a pre-IUI workup. With this workup, your doctor will check to see if you are in good health. The IUI procedure may help you get pregnant and take home a baby, particularly if you are dealing with infertility. How the IUI procedure works When you undergo the IUI procedure, you can expect to go through the following three steps: 1 You may begin taking fertility drugs and your ovulation cycle will be monitored.

what is levodopa
|
<P> Sinemet (carbidopa-levodopa) is a combination of an inhibitor of aromatic amino acid decarboxylation and an aromatic amino acid used to treat Parkinson symptoms such as muscle stiffness, tremors, spasms, and poor muscle control. <P> It is used in combination with levodopa and carbidopa (Sinemet) to treat the end-of-dose 'wearing-off' symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Entacapone helps the levodopa and carbidopa work better by allowing more of it to reach the brain, where it has its effects. <P> Levodopa is a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is associated with low levels of a chemical called dopamine (doe PA meen) in the brain. Levodopa is turned into dopamine in the body and therefore increases levels of this chemical. <P> DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Carbidopa-levodopa is a combination of two drugs, levodopa and carbidopa. Carbidopa-levodopa is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is believed to be caused by low levels of dopamine in certain parts of the brain. When levodopa is taken orally, it crosses into the brain through the blood-brain barrier.. Once it crosses, it is converted to dopamine. <P> Levodopa is in a class of medications called central nervous system agents. It works by being converted to dopamine in the brain. Carbidopa is in a class of medications called decarboxylase inhibitors. It works by preventing levodopa from being broken down before it reaches <P> Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease can often be effectively controlled for years with medication. Levodopa -- also called L-dopa -- is the drug most often prescribed. The body metabolizes it to produce dopamine. <P> Levodopa, also called L-dopa, which is converted to dopamine in the brain, remains the gold standard for treating Parkinson's disease. The standard preparations (Sinemet, Atamet) combine levodopa with carbidopa, which improves the action of levodopa and reduces some of its side effects, particularly nausea. <P> Levodopa (L-dopa). A substance used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Levodopa can cross the blood-brain barrier that protects the brain.

what is fregola
|
<P> If you like pasta, then you'll likely love fregola (or fregula). These Sardinian spherical pellets are made from rubbing semolina flour and water together in a circular motion to create a round shape, then toasting them in the oven. <P> In recent days, this is a frequently asked question in the dining room. Fregola, pronounced FREG-o-lah or FRAY-go-lah, is a tasty Sardinian pasta that we enjoy for its nutty flavor. As you can see in the picture, it fairly resembles Israeli couscous, another favorite pasta here at the restaurant. But there are two big differences between the two pastas. I'm still exploring the boundaries of what you can do with fregola. I do know that it works extremely well in soup, softening without becoming mushy. I also know that when I boil it until it is soft, about 25 minutes, I can make a hell of a flan with it by baking it in a savory custard base. <P> Add the fregola pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain pasta onto a large baking sheet. Spread to a single layer and let cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, using a small knife cut the skin off the orange and grapefruit. <P> Add the dried fregola and cook for about 10 minutes or until golden. Drain the fregola of the oil and place it onto a parchment-covered sheet pan. Add 1 quart of the toasted fregola to a pot of boiling lightly salted water. Cook the fregola for about 12 minutes, drain and toss with a touch of olive oil. <P> Add wine, bring to a simmer, and cook until skillet is almost dry, about 5 minutes. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Add fregola and cook, stirring often, until pasta is just al dente and broth is thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add peas and chopped mint and cook, stirring, until peas are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add pasta cooking liquid as needed to adjust consistency. Cook fregola in a large pot of boiling salted water until very al dente, 6–8 minutes. Drain pasta (do not rinse), reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium and cook bacon, stirring often, until bacon is brown around the edges <P> Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fregola and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes or per package instructions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss to coat. Cut the stalks of the asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces while keeping the tips intact. Add the asparagus stalks and tips. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Saute until asparagus brightens in color, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus are crisp tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. <P> fromFine Cooking. Issue 80. Fregola, also known as succu or Sardinian couscous, is made from coarsely ground semolina and water. Compared to the more familiar North African style of couscous, which is very small and light, fregola is larger and more toothsome, and it has a deliciously nutty flavor because it’s toasted. Israeli couscous and orzo or other tiny pasta shapes are also options. To mimic the nutty flavor of fregola, toast the pasta or Israeli couscous in a large, dry skillet over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until it browns a bit, about 10 minutes. If using Israeli couscous, rinse it with cold water for 10 seconds after boiling to prevent overcooking <P> Fregola pasta could be called a close relative to couscous and is quickly becoming a popular pasta, especially in Italian restaurants. Both fregola and couscous are fine beads of semolina pasta. Yet many having discovered fregola pasta find they like it better, because after little bits of semolina wheat and water are rubbed together, the pasta is lightly toasted. This gives it a wonderful, nutlike flavor that couscous lacks. This allows it to absorb the water. Finished fregola doesn’t have leftover water because the semolina is so absorbent. One of the benefits of the pasta is how quickly it cooks. After you water has boiled, the pasta is usually done in about 10 minutes, which can certainly beat the cooking time of rice.
