The beginning of the optic nerve in the retina is called the optic nerve head or optic disc. Since there are no photoreceptors (cones and rods) in the optic nerve head, this area of the retina cannot respond to light stimulation. As a result, it is known as the blind spot, and everybody has one in each eye. <P> Nerve signals travel along the optic nerve from each eye. The two optic nerves meet at the optic chiasm. There, the optic nerve from each eye divides, and half of the nerve fibers from each side cross to the other side. <P> The optic chiasm or optic chiasma (Greek χίασμα, crossing, from the Greek χιάζω 'to mark with an X', after the Greek letter ' χ ', chi) is the part of the brain where the optic nerves (CN II) partially cross. <P> Pathways [edit].

define parietal lobe function
<P> Location: Upper, back part of the cortexFunction: Processes sensory information that had to do with taste, temperature, and touch. The parietal lobe carries out some very specific functions. As a part of the cortex, it has a lot of responsibilities and has to be able to process sensory information within seconds. The parietal lobe is where information such as taste, temperature and touch are integrated, or processed. Humans would not be able to to feel sensations of touch, if the parietal lobe was damaged. <P> 1 The Central Sulcus: The central sulcus divides the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe. 2 The Parieto-Occipital Sulcus: It divides the parietal and occipital lobes and. 3 The Lateral Sulcus: It separates parietal from the temporal lobe.he remaining part of the parietal lobe which is posterior to the post central sulcus is segregated into 2 parts. They are: 1 Upper parts: It is known as the ‘superior parietal lobule’ and. 2 Lower parts: It is known as the ‘inferior parietal lobule’. <P> The brain is divided into several lobes. These lobes are anatomical regions that are marked by specific boundary points and are associated with certain processes that they influence or completely control. The parietal lobe is located above the occipital lobe of the brain and behind the frontal lobe (see video). The posterior side of the parietal lobe processes visual input and works to coordinate hand and eye movement. The parietal lobe is divided into two hemispheres. They are known as the left and right <P> Let's review. The brain is divided into lobes. The parietal lobe is at the back of the brain and is divided into two hemispheres. It functions in processing sensory information regarding the location of parts of the body as well as interpreting visual information and processing language and mathematics. The posterior side of the parietal lobe processes visual input and works to coordinate hand and eye movement. The parietal lobe is divided into two hemispheres. They are known as the left and right <P> Several areas of the parietal lobe are important in language processing. The somatosensory cortex can be illustrated as a distorted figure — the homunculus (Latin : little man), in which the body parts are rendered according to how much of the somatosensory cortex is devoted to them. The superior parietal lobule and inferior parietal lobule are the primary areas of body or spatial awareness. A lesion commonly in the right superior or inferior parietal lobule leads to hemineglect. The name comes from the overlying parietal bone, which is named from the Latin paries- , wall. <P> Functions of the Parietal Lobe. The parietal lobe functions in processing sensory information from the various parts of the body. It is heavily related to the sense of touch and involved in the manipulation of objects, as well as in detecting the orientation and numbers of objects encountered. The posterior side of the parietal lobe processes visual input and works to coordinate hand and eye movement. The parietal lobe is divided into two hemispheres. They are known as the left and right <P> The structure of parietal lobe can be segregated into 3 different parts: 1 The Central Sulcus: The central sulcus divides the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe. 2 The Parieto-Occipital Sulcus: It divides the parietal and occipital lobes and. 3 The Lateral Sulcus: It separates parietal from the temporal lobe. The remaining part of the parietal lobe which is posterior to the post central sulcus is segregated into 2 parts.

It differentiates into outer surface ectoderm and inner neuroectoderm, which gives rise to neural crest cells. <P> ectoderm. the outermost of the three primitive germ layers of the embryo; from it are derived the epidermis and epidermal derivatives, such as the claws, hair and glands of the skin, the nervous system, external sense organs (eye, ear, etc.) and mucous membrane of the mouth and anus. <P> The mesoderm is one of the three major layers in a developing embryo, referred to as germ cell layers. Other germ cell layers are the endoderm and ectoderm. When the embryo develops, different organs and body parts develop from these germ cell layers. Developing from the mesoderm are muscles, bones, some skin tissue, connective tissues, the reproductive and urinary systems and other internal organs. <P> In the early embryo the first cavity that develops is the coelomic cavity; this is derived from mesoderm. Parts of the urinary and genital systems are derived as outpouchings of the coelomic cavity. Later this coelomic cavity divides into the pleural cavity and the pericardial cavity. <P> Within the mesoderm itself are additional layers that differentiate into different organs and parts of the body during gestation. Each of these subdivisions develops into a different set of organs and other body tissues. <P> Top 10 amazing movie makeup transformations.

what plant does marijuana come from
<P> When many people hear industrial hemp, the first thing that may come to mind in marijuana. After all, there is a close association between the two, but perhaps not as close as one might think. In fact, the biggest thing that ties hemp and marijuana together is they are both members of the plant genus, Cannabis. In fact, if a hemp plant were to be grown alongside a marijuana plant, the hemp would render the marijuana sterile. Hemp seeds are used to make foods, oil, wax, resin, rope, cloth, pulp, paper, building material, and even fuel. <P> Cannabis is derived from the cannabis plant (cannabis sativa). It grows wild in many of the tropical and temperate areas of the world. Cannabis is used in three main forms: marijuana, hashish and hash oil. Marijuana is made from dried flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant. It is the least potent of all the cannabis products and is usually smoked or made into edible products like cookies or brownies (see Factsheet: Marijuana Edibles). Hashish is made from the resin (a secreted gum) of the cannabis plant <P> Idiots... They may come from the same plant but Hemp has a fraction of a fraction of the amount of THC that marijuana has! Hemp is worthless to a stoner. They know the difference (well some of them do) But big Pharma and other big companies don't want it legal. It's Congress that keeps it illegal. In fact, if a hemp plant were to be grown alongside a marijuana plant, the hemp would render the marijuana sterile. Hemp seeds are used to make foods, oil, wax, resin, rope, cloth, pulp, paper, building material, and even fuel. <P> As we mentioned, marijuana plants contain hundreds of chemicals, 109 of which fit into a category called cannabinoids [source: Mehmedic et al. ]. THC, of course, is one of these cannabinoids, and it's the chemical most often associated with the effects that marijuana has on the brain. It's an herbaceous annual that can grow to a height of 8-12 feet (4 to 5.4 meters), with reports as high as 20 and 25 feet (the indica variety tends to be squatter). The plant has flowers that bloom from late summer to mid-fall, when grown outdoors. Of course, plenty of people grow cannabis indoors, too. <P> Cannabis is grown all over the world; in fields as a crop or inside buildings-as long as there is water and artificial light. Different weather and soil conditions can change the amounts of the chemicals inside the plant, which means that certain parts of the world produce stronger cannabis than others. Hash oil is added to marijuana or tobacco cigarettes. Some users brew marijuana as tea or mix it with food. The most common method is smoking loose cannabis rolled into a cigarette called a joint or nail. 1 Chapter 5. 2 Printer-friendly version. <P> The difference is in its use. Hemp and Marijuana both come from the same plant-Cannabis Sativa L. The term 'Hemp' commonly refers to the industrial/commercial use of the cannabis stalk and seed for textiles, foods, papers, body care products, detergents, plastics and building materials. However, since the 1950s it has been lumped into the same category of marijuana, and thus the extremely versatile crop was doomed in the United States. Industrial hemp is technically from the same species of plant that psychoactive marijuana comes from. However, it is from a different variety, or subspecies that contains many important difference <P> Believed to be a native plant of India, Cannabis sativa possibly originated in a region just north of the Himalayas. It's an herbaceous annual that can grow to a height of 8-12 feet (4 to 5.4 meters), with reports as high as 20 and 25 feet (the indica variety tends to be squatter). The plant has flowers that bloom from late summer to mid-fall, when grown outdoors. Of course, plenty of people grow cannabis indoors, too. <P> Marijuana is derived from a hemp plant that is called Cannabis Sativa. This plant is being grown indoors and outdoors all over the world. Marijuana looks like a flowery, leafy, or bud-like substance which can appear similar to tobacco, with the exception of the greenish color.

how much do dna tests cost
<P> The DNA test cost depends on the lab which does the test. The cost also varies according to the sample. If the scientists have to work for more time on the sample and fetch a lot of information then the cost of the test will be more. If the testing is to be done on more than one sample, the cost will surely vary. <P> Confidence votes 260K. DNA Tests A DNA test for paternity analysis costs somewhere in the region of $200. If you require the test to be admissible in court, which is often required in cases of child support or disputed paternity, the costs go up.

what are common ways used to transport water
<P> Oil and other liquids can be transported by ships called tankers. Naval ships: are used to defend countries and in war. Hydrofoils, hovercrafts and catamarans: mainly used to transport people. Speed boats and other pleasure craft are used for water-skiing and fishing and so on. Houseboats. Submarines: mainly used in the navy. Boat-cars, such as the Aquada: a recent invention in 2003 that drives on both land and water. <P> The movement of water by osmosis is the main reason why it is so important to control the water balance of the body. Active transport uses energy to move substances against (up) a concentration gradient or across a partially permeable membrane. Substances are moving in and out of the cells of your body all the time. To understand why the water balance is so important in homeostasis, and to make sense of how your kidneys work, you need to know about diffusion, osmosis and active transport. <P> Water transportation is the intentional movement of water over large distances. Methods of transportation fall into three categories: 1 Aqueducts, which include pipelines, canals, and tunnels, 2 container shipment, which includes transport by tank truck, tank car, and tank ship, and. Major water transportation projects [edit]. The Grand Canal of China, finished in the 7th Century AD and measuring 1,794 kilometres (1,115 mi). The California Aqueduct, near Sacramento, is 715 km (444 mi) long. <P> PROC6 warming and other operations are common ways to reduce water use. Other methods include use of pres-sure sprays and steam instead of high-volumes of hot water to clean containers. One brewery recovered the bottle wash water and used it for washing the crates in which the bottles are placed. It is also the most water-and energy-intensive stage in the life of a paper product. Five gallons of water are used to make one pound of paper (Weyerhaeuser). Recycling paper and cardboard products cuts this energy and water use in half (Kinsella). <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Mode of transport (or means of transport or types of transport or transport modality or form of transport) is a term used to distinguish substantially different ways to perform transport. In general, transportation is used for the movement of people, animals, and other things. Each mode of transport has a fundamentally different technological solution, and some require a separate environment. <P> Water transport is the process of transport that a watercraft, such as a barge, boat, ship or sailboat, makes over a body of water, such as a sea, ocean, lake, canal or river. If a boat or other vessel can successfully pass through a waterway it is known as a navigable waterway. In general, transportation is used for the movement of people, animals, and other things. Each mode of transport has a fundamentally different technological solution, and some require a separate environment. <P> Due to its weight, the transportation of water is very energy intensive. Unless it has the assistance of gravity, a canal or long-distance pipeline will need pumping stations at regular intervals. In this regard, the lower friction levels of the canal make it a more economical solution than the pipeline. Major water transportation projects [edit]. The Grand Canal of China, finished in the 7th Century AD and measuring 1,794 kilometres (1,115 mi). The California Aqueduct, near Sacramento, is 715 km (444 mi) long. <P> Proper process controls are essential to managing water and energy use. Transportation and Cleaning of Food Products The use of flumes to both transport and clean produce (fruits and vegetables) is common. Water is also used in the cleaning and processing of meat, poultry, and fish. It is also the most water-and energy-intensive stage in the life of a paper product. Five gallons of water are used to make one pound of paper (Weyerhaeuser). Recycling paper and cardboard products cuts this energy and water use in half (Kinsella). <P> Filtration methods are ways to clean water and are commonly used after sedimentation to further reduce turbidity and remove pathogens. Filtration is a physical process which involves passing water through filter media. Sand and ceramic are the most common filter media, although cloth and membranes can also be used. The best ways to clean water are found in a multi-barrier approach that protects water quality from source to consumption.

triglyceride nonfasting standard range
<P> The median (interquartile range) triglyceride levels among fasting and nonfasting participants were 115 (81-169) mg/dL and 133 (93-196) mg/dL, respectively. Baseline characteristics of participants at study entry are detailed in Table 1. <P> If your baseline triglyceride level is greater than 200 mg/dL, or 2.3 mmol/L that high-fat junk meal could catapult your triglycerides to 300 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L), 400 mg/dL (4.5 mmol/L), or even 500 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L), and this elevation may be prolonged for several hours beyond the normal eight-hour clearance period. As a rule, variability in triglycerides measurement can be decreased if you are instructed to fast overnight for at least twelve (12) hours abstain from alcohol for two (2) days, and consume two cups (473 mL) of water one (1) hour before the collection of blood. <P> In addition to being associated with increased risk of heart attack, elevated nonfasting levels of triglycerides appear to be associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke, according to a study released on November 12, 2008 in JAMA. The corresponding range in women was 1.9% to 12.2% respectively. In men with history of ischemic stroke, nonfasting triglyceride levels were approximately 191 mg/dL in comparison with controls which 148 mg/dL. In women with history of ischemic stroke, these values were approximately 167 mg/dL in comparison to 127 mg/dL. <P> Hence it is advised to avoid eating for 8-12 hours before the blood sample is drawn for a lipid profile test. Given below is the normal range of fasting triglyceride levels, in children and adults, as per the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP), USA. In the first trimester, triglyceride levels fall, and then gradually increase to reach a maximum value during the third trimester. The levels observed during third trimester are 2-3 fold higher than the regular levels. After delivery, the amount of triglycerides gradually reduces to attai <P> 3) When fasting triglycerides are 200 mg/dl or greater, small LDL particles will dominate and large LDL particles will be in the minority or be gone entirely. 4) When triglycerides are 88 mg/dl or greater after eating, then risk for heart attack is doubled. Non-fasting triglycerides in the 400+ mg/dl range are associated with 17-fold greater risk for heart attack. From Austin et al 1990. <P> May 23, 2003 -- Nonfasting triglyceride (TG) levels are easier to obtain than fasting TG levels and may offer significant prognostic value, according to the results of the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) published in the May 12 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine. <P> To investigate the effects of nonfasting triglyceride levels on ischemic stroke risk, Jacob J. Freiberg, M.D., of Copenhagen University Hospitals, Denmark, and colleagues examined the Copenhagen City Heart Study, a cohor study based on a Danish population beginning in 1976 with follow-up through July 2007. The corresponding range in women was 1.9% to 12.2% respectively. In men with history of ischemic stroke, nonfasting triglyceride levels were approximately 191 mg/dL in comparison with controls which 148 mg/dL. In women with history of ischemic stroke, these values were approximately 167 mg/dL in comparison to 127 mg/dL. <P> Test Results. If your blood triglyceride levels are normal, your test results will be less than 150 milligrams per deciliter. The range for borderline high triglycerides is 150 to 199 milligrams per deciliter. The range for high is 200 to 499 milligrams per deciliter. Any level above 499 is considered very high. <P> As far as a blood test determining triglyceride levels is concerned, for 12 to 14 hours before the test, only water (no coffee!) is permitted. Overnight fasting is essential for an accurate measurement of blood triglycerides! In addition, alcohol should not be consumed for the 24 hours just before the test. As a rule, variability in triglycerides measurement can be decreased if you are instructed to fast overnight for at least twelve (12) hours abstain from alcohol for two (2) days, and consume two cups (473 mL) of water one (1) hour before the collection of blood.

what is a colposcopy test
<P> Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy. Guide. Colposcopy is a way for your doctor to use a special magnifying device to look at your vulva, vagina, and cervix. If a problem is seen during colposcopy, a small sample of tissue (biopsy) may be taken from the cervix or from inside the opening of the cervix (endocervical canal). 1 If an area of abnormal tissue is found during colposcopy, a cervical biopsy or a biopsy from inside the opening of the cervix (endocervical canal) is usually done. 2 Check a sore or other problem (such as genital warts) found on or around the vagina <P> During the colposcopy, the patient is in a similar position as for a Pap test and a speculum is inserted. The doctor may apply a vinegar solution that makes the abnormal cells easier to see. The colposcope itself does not touch the patient. Colposcopy usually should not be performed during your period. A Pap test is reported as normal (negative) when all the cells are of a healthy size and shape. An abnormal (positive) test is reported if any cells of different sizes or shapes are found. An abnormal Pap test does not mean you have cancer. Special terminology is used to describe the degree of abnormal cells. <P> During the colposcopy. Colposcopy is usually done in a doctor's office, and the procedure typically takes 10 to 20 minutes. You'll lie on your back on a table with your feet in supports, just as during a pelvic exam or Pap test. The doctor places a metal speculum in your vagina. <P> Colposcopy is a procedure that uses an instrument with a magnifying lens and a light, called a colposcope, to examine the cervix (opening to the uterus) and vagina for abnormalities. <P> A colposcopy is a way for your doctor to closely examine your vagina, vulva (vagina opening) and cervix. A colposcope is an instrument that your doctor uses to shine a light on the cervix and magnify the view. At the beginning of the colposcopy, you lie back and place your feet in the stirrups as you would for a Pap smear. Your doctor inserts a speculum into your vagina and opens it slightly so he or she can see your cervix. Then your doctor applies a vinegar solution to the cervix and vagina with a cotton ball or swab. The vinegar makes abnormal tissue turn white so your doctor can identify areas that may need further evaluation. If your doctor sees areas of abnormal tissue during the colposcopy, he or she may also perform a biopsy. <P> 1 Look at the cervix for problem areas when a Pap test was abnormal. 2 If an area of abnormal tissue is found during colposcopy, a cervical biopsy or a biopsy from inside the opening of the cervix (endocervical canal) is usually done. 1 If an area of abnormal tissue is found during colposcopy, a cervical biopsy or a biopsy from inside the opening of the cervix (endocervical canal) is usually done. 2 Check a sore or other problem (such as genital warts) found on or around the vagina and cervix. <P> Colposcopy is done to: 1 Look at the cervix for problem areas when a Pap test was abnormal. 2 If an area of abnormal tissue is found during colposcopy, a cervical biopsy or a biopsy from inside the opening of the cervix (endocervical canal) is usually done. What To Think About. 1 Colposcopy is not usually used as a screening test for women at high risk for cervical cancer. 2 A Pap test is done for that purpose. 3 But a colposcopy gives you and your doctor more information if you have an abnormal result from a Pap test. <P> Colposcopy is done to: 1 Look at the cervix for problem areas when a Pap test was abnormal. 2 If an area of abnormal tissue is found during colposcopy, a cervical biopsy or a biopsy from inside the opening of the cervix (endocervical canal) is usually done. 1 If an area of abnormal tissue is found during colposcopy, a cervical biopsy or a biopsy from inside the opening of the cervix (endocervical canal) is usually done. 2 Check a sore or other problem (such as genital warts) found on or around the vagina and cervix. <P> Colposcopy (kol-POS-kuh-pee) is a procedure to closely examine your cervix, vagina and vulva for signs of disease. During colposcopy, your doctor uses a special instrument called a colposcope. Your doctor may recommend colposcopy if your Pap test has shown abnormal results. If your doctor finds an unusual area of cells during colposcopy, a sample of tissue can be collected for laboratory testing (biopsy). Many women experience anxiety before their colposcopy exams <P> Introduction. A colposcopy is a procedure to find out whether there are abnormal cells on or in a woman's cervix or vagina. The cervix is the part of the womb that sits in the vagina. Abnormalities tend to occur at the opening of the cervix to the birth canal, where it enters the womb.

Also known as reserved powers amendment or states' rights amendment 13th Amendment Abolished slavery. <P> The Thirteenth Amendment was an amendment to the United States Constitution, meaning that it was a change to the basic and most important laws that govern the United States. It abolished slavery in the United States. Prior to the Civil War, the Constitution allowed slavery. However, many groups sought to end slavery in the United States. The groups became the Republican Party in 1856, and gained power in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln. <P> The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. In Congress, it was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, and by the House on January 31, 1865. The institution of slavery existed in all of the original thirteen British North American colonies. Prior to the Thirteenth Amendment, the United States Constitution (adopted in 1789) did not expressly use the words slave or slavery but included several provisions about unfree persons. <P> Passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, the 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States.

where do zebras live in africa
<P> Kenya and Tanzania hosts 8 to 10 plains zebras. When it comes to Grevy’s zebras, their inhabiting range is perhaps restricted to eastern Ethiopia, northern Kenya with some species also dwelling in Sudan. Mountain zebras are commonly found in the South Africa and Namibia. These species are akin to live in wide country grasslands, African savannahs and African trees. Even though seldom, these zebras are also known to reside at an elevation of about 13,000 feet (4,000 m). <P> Where Do Zebras Live. Few zebra species have superior habitats in comparison to others. Plains zebra is one of them. These species are akin to live in wide country grasslands, African savannahs and African trees. Even though seldom, these zebras are also known to reside at an elevation of about 13,000 feet (4,000 m). These animals tend to stay away from deserts or dense forests <P> Zebras the relatives of horses having grey or black strips on overall white body are the animals that can be easily found in African countries such as Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Kenya and Ethiopia. They prefer to live in a place where they can easily get access to grass and an adequate supply of water. The male zebra is that's why called as stallion. In each group there is one stallion and various female zebras with the young zebras as well. The entire family keeps united even in the group as well. Also where do zebras live has a direct connection with their ages as well. <P> Zebras are fond of dry places and can be found in deserts of Africa very easily. Not only in deserts, zebras also prefer to live in open areas having green grass and water around. Besides grasslands and deserts, zebras can also be heavily found on various hilly areas of Africa.

what species does a tsunami affect
<P> Answer by THOMAS-ROX. Confidence votes 15. YES!! any marine animals in the tsunami can get washed up on land on the beach or where the wave stops. Plus all the food the marine animals have to eat is washed away so if they survive they will have no food and will starve to death <P> Tsunami Killed Animals, Too! Tsunami waves which killed over 150,000 people in Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand also had a devastating effect on many wild and domestic animals that lived in areas worst hit in the disaster. <P> Impact of the tsunami (December, 2004) on the long tailed macaque of Nicobar Islands, India. Hystrix-Italian Journal of Mammalogy: 10.4404/hystrix-21.1-4484. Brodie, J., Sanjayan, M., Corea, R., Helmy, O., & Amarasiri, C. (2008). 0. On Friday, March 11, Japan was rocked by an earthquake. People were displaced, a nuclear reactor was in trouble, and the world watched as a tsunami flooded Japan, threatened the islands of the Pacific, and ultimately hit the western coasts of North and South America. <P> A tsunami is a wave, or series of waves, caused by the vertical displacement of a column of water. This can be generated by earthquakes below the sea floor and violent volcanic eruptions above it, landslides above or below water or meteorite impacts into the sea. Species Invasion. Tsunamis can carry massive amounts of debris from one side of the ocean to another. A concrete block from Misawa, Japan took 15 months to cross the Pacific Ocean and crash into the Oregon coast. Algae and other organisms attached to this debris survived the ocean crossing. <P> However, when tsunami waves become extremely large in height, they savagely attack coastlines, causing devastating property damage and loss of life. A small wave only 30 centimetres high in the deep ocean may grow into a monster wave 30m high as it sweeps over the shore. Especially along a high seismic area, known as the Ring of Fire, tsunamis may have dramatic consequences as they hit less developed countries. The buildings infrastructure in these poorer nations are not well built and cannot withstand the impact of the tsunami. <P> The effects of a tsunami depend on the characteristics of the seismic event that generated the tsunami, the distance from its point of origin, its size (magnitude) and, at last, the configuration of the bathymetry (that is the depth of water in oceans) along the coast that the tsunami is approaching. Especially along a high seismic area, known as the Ring of Fire, tsunamis may have dramatic consequences as they hit less developed countries. The buildings infrastructure in these poorer nations are not well built and cannot withstand the impact of the tsunami. <P> Death. One of the biggest and worst effects of a tsunami is the cost to human life because unfortunately escaping a tsunami is nearly impossible. Hundreds and thousands of people are killed by tsunamis. Since 1850 alone, tsunamis have been responsible for the loss of more than 430,000 lives. Especially along a high seismic area, known as the Ring of Fire, tsunamis may have dramatic consequences as they hit less developed countries. The buildings infrastructure in these poorer nations are not well built and cannot withstand the impact of the tsunami. <P> TSUNAMI – “Harbour wave” Tsunami – are large waves that are generated when the sea floor is deformed by seismic activity Tsunami wave caused by Coastal earthquakes Under sea volcanic eruptions Under sea landslides Tsunami is not a single wave, It is series of waves. Travel at a speed of more than 800Km/hr.

Total variable input costs for the 2013 corn and soybean crops are likely to stay about the same as last year, a Purdue Extension farm business management specialist says. Variable input costs are the costs of production that vary directly with the crop grown, but don’t include fixed costs, such as cash rent <P> Breakeven grain prices in southern Minnesota for the 2015 crop year, based on average crop yields, input costs, and land expense are expected to be near $4.50 per bushel for corn and over $10.50 per bushel for soybeans. Local cash prices dropped to below $3.00 per bushel for corn, and below $9.50 per bushel for soybeans, by late-September; however, the grain prices have rebounded to near $3.90 per bushel for corn and $10.00 per bushel for soybeans by mid-December. <P> USDA is currently estimating the 2014-15 MYA average prices near $3.50/bu. for corn and $10.00/bu. for soybeans. Current cash corn prices are below $3.00 per bushel at most locations in the Upper Midwest, while cash soybean prices are below $9.00 per bushel. USDA recently released the final national market year average (MYA) crop prices for the 2013-2014 year, which were $4.45 per bushel for corn and $13.00 per bushel <P> In addition, the 2013 FBM records showed an average of $116 per acre on cash rented corn acres, and $77 per acre for soybeans, for costs of farm machinery, hired labor, property insurance and other overhead expenses. USDA recently released the final national market year average (MYA) crop prices for the 2013-2014 year, which were $4.45 per bushel for corn and $13.00 per bushel for soybeans. <P> Soybean operating costs are set to take the hardest hit in the coming growing season. USDA estimates production costs for the 2014 growing season to be up $6.58 per acre from 2013 for soybeans, $5.38 for corn and $3.83 for wheat. this will pinch producer margins.. USDA estimates production costs for the 2014 growing season to be up $6.58 per acre from 2013 for soybeans, $5.38 for corn and $3.83 for wheat. The largest increases stem from capital recovery, the cost of depreciation and interest for farm machines and equipment, and land <P> “Soybean seed prices are expected to increase more than seed corn prices because the cost of the commodity is a larger component of the seed price.”. Miller estimated seed costs per acre on average-yield farmland would increase by $8 for corn and $7 for soybeans. Nitrogen fertilizer prices are climbing, too. Total variable input costs for the 2013 corn and soybean crops are likely to stay about the same as last year, a Purdue Extension farm business management specialist says. <P> Soybean costs per acre were $745, $758, $685 and $664, respectively (see Table 1). Costs were lower in southern Illinois primarily because of lower land costs. The total of all economic costs per bushel in the different sections of the state ranged from $4.34 to $5.10 for corn and from $11.23 to $12.21 for soybeans. Average soybean yields in the different areas ranged from 4 to 8 bushels per acre higher than the five-year average from 2010 to 2014. State Averages Total costs to produce corn for all combined areas of the state were $989 per acre. This figure increased two percent compared to the year before.

how can you raise blood pressure quickly
<P> Hypotension or low blood pressure is associated with several problems including fainting, dizziness and light headedness. In such situations it is important to raise the blood pressure of the body quickly and naturally. Remaining hydrated is critical to ensure optimum blood pressure. A minimum intake of three liters of water is recommended in an average adult. Intake can be in the form of water, beverages, fresh fruit juices, etc. avoid alcohol or soda which tend to cause dehydration and can further lower the <P> 1 Sodium is known to raise blood pressure (and sometimes greatly), so doctors generally recommend limiting it. 2 Check with your healthcare professional before you up your intake -- if you consume an amount that's not good for you, it can lead to heart failure (especially if you're older). Two Methods: During an Acute Bout Further Action. Raise blood pressure by using basic first-aid awareness to alleviate the problem. If you are the patient, these points will enable your feeling better. As the caregiver, you provide a knowledgeable, calming influence to bring the patient past this crisis <P> Increase your salt intake. You may have heard that too much salt is bad for your blood pressure. However, this is only the case if you have high blood pressure; increased salt (or sodium) can raise your low blood pressure to a healthier level. More salt increases your blood volume, which will raise your blood pressure. Low blood pressure can accompany dehydration, so you may be able to raise your blood pressure by increasing your water intake. Aim to drink at least 8-10 8oz cups of water per day. <P> But if you have symptoms of low blood pressure, your doctor can diagnose the condition and uncover the cause. Symptoms of dizziness and lightheadedness when you stand up from sitting or lying down -- with a decrease in your blood pressure -- may indicate a condition called postural hypotension. For many people, chronic low blood pressure can be effectively treated with diet and lifestyle changes. Depending on the cause of your symptoms, your doctor may tell you to increase your blood pressure by making these simple changes: 1 Eat a diet higher in salt. 2 Drink lots of nonalcoholic fluids. <P> How to Raise Blood Pressure Quickly. Low blood pressure can turn into a dangerous condition because it can cause damage to the vital organs of the body. It therefore become imperative to raise low blood pressure to the normal levels. The following article will take you through some of the ways by which this can be accomplished. Advertisement <P> Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80 mmHg, but a level less than 90/60 is generally considered too low. Lower-than-normal blood pressure, or hypotension, can cause symptoms as there is too little pressure in your circulatory system to ensure adequate blood flow to your brain and other organs. <P> Add more salt to your diet. Although most people think that salt is something to avoid, if you have hypotension, adding more salt to your diet can raise blood pressure quickly. If you are older, you should consult your doctor before adding more salt to your diet as it may put you at a risk for heart failure. Drink more water every day. Monitor your blood pressure regularly. Take your blood pressure at your local drugstore, or have it taken at your doctor's office. If your blood pressure is under 90/60 mm hG, see a doctor as soon as possible. See a doctor for a prescription if necessary. <P> Best Answer: A normal blood pressure for you is somewhere around 120/80. Blood pressure is tricky, so its not something you can really raise. Elevated blood pressure is not a good thing unless your blood pressure is dangerously low. Some people just have low blood pressure by nature. Your cold has your body weakened and fatigued.
Increase your salt and water intake. Aim to drink at least 8-10 8oz cups of water per day.
what is the coldest climate for venus
<P> That's the same direction the planet rotates. Temperatures throughout Venus' atmosphere vary from -43°C in the uppermost cloud regions to 460°C (860°F) at the surface. The dense atmosphere and winds circulate the heat, so that the night side of Venus is just as hot. The surface temperature on the planet Venus is almost uniform planet-wide, even at the poles and even at night. This is about 464°C (867°F). The heat is carried by convectio … n through its thick atmosphere, which blocks 60% of the sunlight but also prevents the surface from cooling by infrared radiation. <P> Venus has the hottest surface temperature (+864° F). Its very thick carbon dioxide atmosphere and sulfuric acid clouds act as a heat trap. This is called the greenhouse effect. Neptune, because of its distance from the sun, would possess the coldest atmospheric temperatures (-364° F). The general rule argues that the farther away a planet is from the sun, the colder its surface or cloud top temperatures will become. The exception in our solar system is Venus. <P> Earth's hotter, meaner twin is blowing hot and cold. This picture from Venus Express, the European Space Agency 's planetary orbiter, shows Venus's south pole in transition between day and night. As it turns out, sweltering Venus-average temperature a balmy 464 °C-hides a cold layer in its atmosphere. At 125 kilometres above the planet's surface, the weather is -175 °C with a good chance of carbon dioxide ice. It is the ice that causes the brighter regions in the atmosphere. It's much colder there than anywhere on Earth, despite the fact Venus is closer to the sun. This discovery is a bizarre twist for a planet that is famously hot and inhospitable. <P> However, for all the characteristics these two planets have in common, average temperature is not one of them. Whereas the Earth has an average surface temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, the average temperature of Venus is 460 degrees Celsius. That is roughly 410 degrees hotter than the hottest deserts on our planet. In addition, the surface temperature on Venus does not vary like it does here on Earth. On our planet, temperatures vary wildly due to the time of year and even more so based on the location on our planet. The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 70.7°C in the Lut Desert of Iran in 2005. <P> The climate on Venus is widely known to be unpleasant -- at the surface, the planet roasts at more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit under a suffocating blanket of sulfuric acid clouds and a crushing atmosphere more than 90 times the pressure of Earth's. <P> The average temperature on Venus is about 464 °C (867°F). It is this hot because it is the second planet from the sun, and has what scientists call a 'runaway greenhouse' effect. A thick layer of clouds (carbon dioxide and some sulphuric acid) covers the surface and traps infrared radiation, raising the surface temperature of the planet. The surface temperature on the planet Venus is almost uniform planet-wide, even at the poles and even at night. This is about 464°C (867°F). The heat is carried by convectio … n through its thick atmosphere, which blocks 60% of the sunlight but also prevents the surface from cooling by infrared radiation. <P> On the other end of the spectrum, the coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth was in Vostok, Antarctica at -89.2 C. But on Venus, the surface temperature is 460 degrees Celsius, day or night, at the poles or at the equator. Beyond its thick atmosphere, Venus’ axial tilt (aka. obliquity) plays a role in this temperature consistency. In addition, the surface temperature on Venus does not vary like it does here on Earth. On our planet, temperatures vary wildly due to the time of year and even more so based on the location on our planet. The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 70.7°C in the Lut Desert of Iran in 2005. <P> The coldest temperatures in Venus's atmosphere are above the cloud layer. Once you reach the surface, the planetary temperature is practically uniform in temperature, because … the thick atmosphere carries the heat to the poles and the night side. <P> At the surface, the atmosphere presses down as hard as water 3,000 feet beneath Earth's ocean. The average temperature on Venus is 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius). Temperature changes slightly traveling through the atmosphere, growing cooler farther away from the surface. Lead would melt on the surface of the planet, where the temperature is around 872 F (467 C). <P> The hottest Planet is Venus, second planet from the sun. Venus' temperature can raise to above 800 degrees F if i'm not mistaken. This is because of the Greenhouse gases in its atmosphere (Such as Carbon Dioxide), trapping the sun's ray's on the planet. Jupiter again has the strongest Gravitational pull. Best Answer: The Coldest of the planets would be Jupiter, due to it being a gas giant and being farthest from the sun, thus recieving the least amount of sunlight. The Smallest Orbit is Mercury because it is closest to the sun, taking only 88 days to go around it once.

what is a carbuncle boil
<P> Carbuncles are more likely than boils to leave scars. An active boil or carbuncle is contagious: the infection can spread to other parts of the person's body or to other people through skin-to-skin contact or the sharing of personal items. <P> A. A. A carbuncle is a red, swollen, and painful cluster of boils that are connected to each other under the skin. A boil (or furuncle) is an infection of a hair follicle that has a small collection of pus (called an abscess) under the skin. Usually single, a carbuncle is most likely to occur on a hairy area of the body such as the back or nape of the neck. An active boil or carbuncle is contagious: the infection can spread to other parts of the person's body or to other people through skin-to-skin contact or the sharing of personal items. <P> A boil, also called a furuncle, is a deep folliculitis, infection of the hair follicle. It is most commonly caused by infection by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in a painful swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus and dead tissue. <P> Boil Type: Carbuncle. A carbuncle is an abscess in the skin caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. It usually involves a group of hair follicles and is therefore larger than a typical furuncle, or boil. A carbuncle can have one or more openings onto the skin and may be associated with fever or chills. A boil is a skin infection that starts in a hair follicle or oil gland. Also referred to as a skin abscess, it is a localized infection deep in the skin. A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard. <P> A large boil may leave a scar. A carbuncle is larger than a boil and usually has one or more openings draining pus onto the skin. Experts say it is most commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium. The infection can spread to other parts of the body, and other people too. Knowledge center. A boil, also known as a furuncle is a skin abscess, a painful bump that forms under the skin-it is full of puss. A carbuncle is collection of boils that develop under the skin. When bacteria infect hair follicles they can swell up and turn into boils. <P> Boils and carbuncles are often caused by a type of bacteria known as Staphylococcus aureus (staph bacteria) infecting one or more hair follicles. Staph bacteria usually live harmlessly on the surface of the skin or in the lining of the nose. <P> A carbuncle is a cluster of boils, draining pus onto the skin. It is usually caused by bacterial infection, most commonly with Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, which can turn lethal. However, the presence of a carbuncle is actually a sign that the immune system is working. A carbuncle is made up of several skin boils. The infected mass is filled with fluid, pus and dead tissue. Fluid may drain out of the carbuncle, but sometimes the mass is so deep that it cannot drain on its own. Carbuncles may develop anywhere, but they are most common on the back and the nape of the neck <P> A carbuncle is a group of boils (infections associated with hair follicles) on the skin. A carbuncle forms when a number of boils group together to form one lump, or when multiple hair follicles become infected at once. When multiple carbuncles form, the condition is known as carbunculosis. Carbuncles are typically triggered by bacterial infection of the hair follicles, usually by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, but other bacteria and fungi present on the skin surface may also cause the infection. If the infection is not resolved quickly, pockets of bacteria, cells, dead tissue, fluid, and pus form. <P> Carbuncles normally begin as tender, red lumps. The lumps can rapidly fill up with pus, grow larger as well as become very painful pending their splitting open and draining. A carbuncle is a bunch of boils which develop an area of infection beneath the skin. Carbuncle Symptoms. Carbuncles are a group of boils which usually occur on the back of the neck, thighs or shoulders. Carbuncles: 1 Cause deeper and very severe infections than a single boil can. 2 Develop and begin to heal much more slowly than a single boil does.

cost of repouring driveway
<P> Provide a few details about your project and receive competitive quotes from local pros. The average national cost of a driveway installation is $3,647, with most homeowners spending between $2,026 and $5,278. This data is based on actual project costs as reported by HomeAdvisor members. If you're thinking about installing a driveway, it's important to consider a couple of different things. Driveway Pavers Cost. Driveway pavers are another option for homeowners, though it is the most expensive: about $4,750 to install. This is because they have to be installed by hand, so it costs extra for the materials and labor to lay them. <P> 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. * Note that the any asphalt driveway cost calculators you use online are only going to be rough estimates. The only way to get an accurate cost quote, is to get quotes from local contractors. In fact, most driveway contractors can come in, clean the old surface and chip away at the edges to make sure you get good adhesion of the new topcoat, roll on a new surface and be gone in less than 1 day! The cost, is even more attractive at just $1.65 – $2.40 dollars per square foot. <P> The length and width of your driveway largely affects the cost of repair. If you have extensive damage to the entire driveway, you will need to have it repaved. Repaving will cost more because of materials and labor. If only smaller spot need repair, then you will pay less to fill in the cracks or repave a portion. This can be a bigger problem for the whole driveway if not repaired properly. If you live in a colder climate, any moisture damage could lead to bigger cracks. It's a good rule of thumb that if more than 25 percent of your driveway needs to be repaired or patched, repaving is a better idea. <P> 1 The homewyse Concrete Driveway cost estimates do not include costs for significant regrading or excavation, or demolition and removal of existing driveway. 2 The variation in installation costs for complex configurations (non-rectangular shape, many corners, multiple levels, etc.) can be considerable. <P> Cost. Ignoring any maintenance costs, asphalt is generally much cheaper to install than concrete. On average, the cost per square foot for asphalt will run between $2.50 to $4.00. Fluctuations in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in asphalt prices but the price will remain around this range. Concrete, on the other hand, can run between $4.00 to $6.00 per square foot for basic installation and can cost more depending on different finishes and detail. It’s not unheard of to have a stained concrete driveway with a smooth finish cost over $15.00 per square foot <P> Concrete is probably the most popular driveway material and for good reason. It's extremely durable and lasts a long time with little need for maintenance save for repairing cracks or stains from oil and gas. In terms of driveway material costs, concrete averages around $3,540. Driveway Pavers Cost. Driveway pavers are another option for homeowners, though it is the most expensive: about $4,750 to install. This is because they have to be installed by hand, so it costs extra for the materials and labor to lay them. <P> If your driveway is long, curving or hilly, then repair will be more expensive.

The cost of installing a concrete driveway can vary depending on your location. San Diego concrete may be more expensive than say, Wisconsin concrete. Concrete does tend to be less expensive than cobblestone, brick or pavers, but more expensive than asphalt, gravel or a generic stone. <P> 1 For small jobs removing unreinforced concrete (no rebar) you can often hire a local day laborer or handyman to manually break up and haul away the concrete for $100-$400 for a small area such as a patio or $500-$900 for a 500-600 square foot (unreinforced) driveway. 1 The biggest part of a do-it-yourself removal job will be hauling away and disposing of the debris. 2 In some parts of the country recycling fees for concrete are relatively low, but in other areas dump/disposal costs can be $300-$800 or more for the concrete from a typical two-car driveway. <P> 1 If the damage is extensive, repaving may be necessary. 2 A newly paved driveway can cost $600-$3,000 for gravel, macadam or black asphalt for a small 12x50 (600 square foot) surface, and can run two to three times as much for materials like concrete or cobblestones. 1 Hiring a handyman to spend a couple hours patching cracks or filling holes could bring the total cost (labor and materials) to $100-$250 or more, depending on local rates and the amount of repair needed. 2

what is pili
<P> Pili vs Fimbriae. Pili and fimbriae are known as filamentous appendages, which are used mainly for adhesion. These structures are extremely fine appendages arising from the surface of bacteria and are firstly described by hoodwink and van Iterson. These are thinner than flagella and are not used in motility. <P> Pili are the fine hair like projections present on the bacterial cell surface. Only one or few pili are present on the cell surface. They are genetically determined, and are used for attachment in case of pathogenic bacteria. <P> A pilus (Latin for 'hair'; plural: pili) is a hairlike appendage found on the surface of many bacteria. The terms pilus and fimbria (Latin for 'fringe'; plural: fimbriae) can be used interchangeably, although some researchers reserve the term pilus for the appendage required for bacterial conjugation. All pili are primarily composed of oligomeric pilin proteins. Dozens of these structures can exist on the bacteria. Some pili, called type IV pili, generate motile forces. The external ends of the pili adhere to a solid substrate, either the surface to which the bacteria are attached or to other bacteria, and when the pilus contracts, it pulls the bacteria forward, like a grappling hook. <P> A pilus is typically 7 to 8 nm in diameter, and several hundred pili can extend from the surface of a bacterial cell (see image to right). A fimbria (Latin, meaning fringe; plural: fimbriae) is a short pilus. They are used for attachment of the cell to a surface or other cells, and are either located at the poles of a cell, or are evenly spread over its entire surface. A pilus (Latin for 'hair'; plural: pili) is a hairlike protein structure on the surface of a cell, especially Gram-negative bacteria. <P> Pili are typically longer and fewer in number than fimbriae. 2. The short attachment pili or fimbriae are organelles of adhesion allowing bacteria to colonize environmental surfaces or cells and resist flushing. 3. The pilus has a shaft composed of a protein called pilin with an adhesive tip structure at the end having a shape corresponding to that of specific receptors on a host cell. 5. The same bacterium may switch the adhesive tips of the pili in order to adhere to different types of cells and evade immune defenses. <P> Pilus. Definition. noun, plural: pili. (microbiology) Short, filamentous projection on a bacterial cell, used not for motility but for adhering to other bacterial cell (especially for mating) or to animal cells. Supplement. Bacterial pili are involved in cell adhesion. <P> Above: a pilus projecting from the surface of a Gram negative bacterial cell. 'Pilus' is Latin for 'hair' (plural pili) and describes not so much hair-like bacterial appendages, but thin rod-like appendages that some bacteria have. Notice that the pilus is depicted as being made up of many spheres, these are the subunits, each one is a molecule of protein called pilin (fimbrin). Pili are about 1-2 micrometres long and 2-8 nanometres wide, so they are long and thin with the exact diameter depending upon pilus type.

what was the progressive movement
<P> The Progressive Era was a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the United States, from the 1890s to 1920s. The main objective of the Progressive movement was eliminating corruption in government. The movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. By taking down these corrupt representatives in office a further means of direct democracy would be established. As part of this tradition of maternal activism, the Progressive-era General Federation supported a range of causes from the pure food and drug administration to public health care for mothers and children to a ban on child labor, each of which looked to the state to help implement their vision of social justice. <P> From Conservapedia. The Progressive Era or Progressive Movement, from the 1890s to the 1920s, was a major era in American history. It is most famous for political reforms, as proposed by Republicans Theodore Roosevelt, Charles Evans Hughes and Herbert Hoover, and Democrat Woodrow Wilson. In 1912 Roosevelt created a new party, the Progressive Party to run for president, but he lost and the party faded away. The 1912 party is only a small part of the entire Progressive movement. The Progressive Era lasted from the 1890s to the 1930s, and influenced all sectors of American society. From the perspective of conservatives in the 21st century, many aspects of the drive for efficiency and against corruption win wide approval <P> Progressivism in the United States is a broadly based reform movement that reached its height early in the 20th century and is generally considered to be middle class and reformist in nature. <P> Such reforms as the direct primary, secret ballot, and the initiative, referendum, and recall were effected. Local governments were strengthened by the widespread use of trained professionals, particularly with the city manager system replacing the frequently corrupt mayoral system. Efforts to improve society were not new to the United States in the late 1800s. A major push for change, the First Reform Era, occurred in the years before the Civil War and included efforts of social activists to reform working conditions and humanize the treatment of mentally ill people and prisoners. <P> The Progressive Era was a time period in American history lasting from the 1890s through the 1920s. At the turn of the century, America was experiencing rapid urbanization and industrialization. Waves of immigrants were arriving, many from southeastern Europe. <P> Progressivism also was imbued with strong political overtones, and it rejected the church as the driving force for change. Specific goals included: 1 The desire to remove corruption and undue influence from government through the taming of bosses and political machines. Efforts to improve society were not new to the United States in the late 1800s. A major push for change, the First Reform Era, occurred in the years before the Civil War and included efforts of social activists to reform working conditions and humanize the treatment of mentally ill people and prisoners. <P> What follows is a discussion about the effect that Progressivism has had -- and continues to have -- on American politics and political thought. The remarks stem from the publication of The Progressive Revolution in Politics and Political Science (Rowman & Littlefield, 2005), to which Dr. West contributed. When I speak of Progressivism, I mean the movement that rose to prominence between about 1880 and 1920. In a moment I will turn to the content of the Progressive conception of politics and to the contrast between that approach and the tradition, stemming from the founding, that it aimed to replace. <P> The Progressive Movement was an American reform movement that occurred principally during the time between the Reconstruction after the American Civil War and the entry of America into the First World War. <P> The Progressive Movement. The Progressive Movement was an effort to cure many of the ills of American society that had developed during the great spurt of industrial growth in the last quarter of the 19th century. Efforts to improve society were not new to the United States in the late 1800s. A major push for change, the First Reform Era, occurred in the years before the Civil War and included efforts of social activists to reform working conditions and humanize the treatment of mentally ill people and prisoners.

where are myelinated axons especially abundant
<P> Myelinated nerve fibers occur predominantly in the cranial and spinal nerves and compose the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. It is the myelin sheath that gives the whitish color to the areas of white matter. Unmyelinated fibers are abundant in the autonomic nervous system. <P> myelin. the lipid substance forming a sheath (the myelin sheath) around the axons of certain nerve fibers; it is an electrical insulator that serves to speed the conduction of nerve impulses in these nerve fibers, which are called myelinated or medullated fibers. adj., adj myelin´ic. <P> Some 20 to 40% of myelinated nerve fibers are lost from fiber tracts with age, so that nerve fibers with altered axons in various stages of degeneration are encountered in electron micrographs, especially those from old monkeys. <P> 2 Structure of a Multipolar Neuron – Cell Body • Neuron Cell Body – The cell bodies of neurons are located in the gray matter of the central nervous system and in structures called ganglia in the peripheral nervous system. <P> 1. the lipid substance forming a sheath around the axons of certain nerve fibers; these nerve fibers are spoken of as myelinated or medullated fibers. <P> Neurons that do not have a myelin sheath must use continuous conduction, which is slower. These are the smaller axons of the CNS, as well as some types of fine sensory fib … ers, such as olfactory nerves. <P> In unmyelinated axons, the action potential travels along the axon in a continuous manner, while in myelinated axons, a current is only found at the nodes of Ranvier, where the membrane of the axon is exposed. Sodium channels that generate action potentials are abundant at the nodes of Ranvier. <P> Figure 4.7. An empty myelin sheath in the fornix of a 20 year old monkey. A few fragments of the axon remain, but otherwise the myelin sheath is empty, because the axon has degenerated. In these situations, splitting of the myelin sheath is common, especially for degenerating large diameter nerve fibers.

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is, arguably, the most important petroleum refining process for converting high molecular weight, high boiling point, molecular chains into useful fuel products and gasses <P> Burton’s cracking process used heat to convert complex hydrocarbons (whose molecules contain many carbon atoms) into simpler gasoline hydrocarbons (whose molecules contain fewer carbon atoms), thereby increasing the yield of gasoline from petroleum. Impact. In addition to using thermal cracking to make gasoline for sale, Standard Oil of Indiana also profited by licensing the process for use by other gasoline producers. Soon, the method was used throughout the oil industry. <P> The alkane is brought into contact with the catalyst at a temperature of about 500°C and moderately low pressures. The zeolites used in catalytic cracking are chosen to give high percentages of hydrocarbons with between 5 and 10 carbon atoms-particularly useful for petrol (gasoline). It also produces high proportions of branched alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene. Note: If you are interested in other examples of catalysis in the petrochemical industry, you should follow this link. It will lead you to information on reforming and isomerisation (as well as a repeat of what you have just read about catalytic cracking). <P> The catalytic cracking process involves the presence of acid catalysts (usually solid acids such as silica-alumina and zeolites) which promote a heterolytic (asymmetric) breakage of bonds yielding pairs of ions of opposite charges, usually a carbocation and the very unstable hydride anion. Thermal cracking was the first category of hydrocarbon cracking to be developed. Thermal cracking is an example of a reaction whose energetics are dominated by entropy (∆S°) rather than by enthalpy (∆H°) in the Gibbs Free Energy equation ∆G°=∆H°-T∆S°. <P> “For many refiners, the cat cracker is the key to profitability.” 1 The following is a chronology of developments in fluid catalytic cracking:  1915 Gulf Refining discovered that Aluminum Chloride catalyst could catalytically crack heavy oil.  1936 Natural clays as catalyst greatly improved cracking efficiency. 6 Summary ....................................................................................................................... ............................. 7. 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The concept of fluid catalytic cracking has been around since 1915.

How long does it take for alcohol to leave your system
<P> • It would take approx 1.33 hours for .02 BAC of alcohol to leave your body. • It would take approx 3.33 hours for .05 BAC of alcohol to leave your body. • For .08 BAC of alcohol, which is the legal limit set in United States, it would take approx 5.33 hours for you body to be alcohol free. This is equal to 4 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, 10 ounces of microbrew. This means, if you have three standard drinks, irrespective of how long it took for you to drink them, it can take three hours for the alcohol to leave your system through urine. <P> Adding up your units. If you drink a large (250ml) glass of wine, your body takes about three hours to break down the alcohol. If you drink one pint of beer, your body takes about two hours to break it down. One pint of strong lager is equivalent to three units, so this will take longer. However, this time can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. If you have a few drinks during a night out, it can take many hours for the alcohol to leave your body. The alcohol could still be in your blood the next day. This means that if you drive the day after an evening of drinking, you could be over the legal alcohol limit. <P> 1 A BAC of .05 will take about 3.33 hours to leave your system. 2 A BAC of .08 (the legal limit in the United States) will take about 5.33 hours to leave your system. 3 A BAC of .10 will take about 6.66 hours to leave your system. 4 A BAC of .15 will take about 10 hours to leave your system. 1 A BAC of .08 (the legal limit in the United States) will take about 5.33 hours to leave your system. 2 A BAC of .10 will take about 6.66 hours to leave your system. 3 A BAC of .15 will take about 10 hours to leave your system. <P> How Long It Stays In Your Urine. A urine test for alcohol cannot test how much it was actually consumed or ingested by the body in total. Some tests can detect that the drinking has been consumed and metabolized by the body up to as long as 70 to 90 hours after it has been metabolized by the body. Alcohol is on average still present in the urine 24 hours after consumption, testing the urine is not reliable to determine how much has been consumed. <P> How long does it take alcohol to leave your urine: People metabolize alcohol usually, at the rate of 1/2 to 3/4ounce every hour (which is about half an ounce of one standard drink). This is equal to 4 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, 10 ounces of microbrew. This means, if you have three standard drinks, irrespective of how long it took for you to drink them, it can take three hours for the alcohol to leave your system through urine. <P> 1 A BAC of .02 will take about 1.33 hours to leave your system. 2 A BAC of .05 will take about 3.33 hours to leave your system. 3 A BAC of .08 (the legal limit in the United States) will take about 5.33 hours to leave your system. 4 A BAC of .10 will take about 6.66 hours to leave your system. 1 A BAC of .08 (the legal limit in the United States) will take about 5.33 hours to leave your system. 2 A BAC of .10 will take about 6.66 hours to leave your system. 3 A BAC of .15 will take about 10 hours to leave your system. <P> It takes 1 hour for 1 unit of alchohol-BUT only after you stop drinking. 1 Unit of alcohol is The volume in milliltres times the % alcohol by volume divided by 1000. Therefore 1/2 litre (approx 1 pint or 20 fl oz) of Heineken will take 2 hours 30 minutes to leave your body. Heineken is 5% abv (alcohol by volumne) so 5x500/1000=2.5 units. BUT AGaIN STRESSING only after you stop drinking. It takes your liver approximately 1 hour to process a 12 ounce beer or a shot of 80 proof whiskey. So, if you had 8 shots of whiskey it would take 8 hours for the alcohol to be processed out. <P> After 4 hours – your BAC would be 0.02. After 5 hours – your BAC would be 0.005. Alcohol would be eliminated from the body at about 5 hours and 20 minutes (the body metabolizes alcohol at the rate of about 0.005 per twenty minutes, as 0.005 x 3 = 0.015). So it is easy to tell when your body will be free of alcohol. <P> • It would take approx 6.66 hours for .15 BAC of alcohol to leave your body. • And for 1.5 BAC of alcohol it would take approximately 10 hours for your body to completely excrete alcohol. There are some steps that may help you to control the BAC count of alcohol in your system. This is equal to 4 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, 10 ounces of microbrew. This means, if you have three standard drinks, irrespective of how long it took for you to drink them, it can take three hours for the alcohol to leave your system through urine.

what energy sources are renewable
<P> Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses. Not all renewable energy resources come from the sun. Geothermal energy taps the Earth's internal heat for a variety of uses, including electric power production, and the heating and cooling of buildings. And the energy of the ocean's tides come from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun upon the Earth. <P> Renewable Energy. There are many forms of renewable energy. Most of these renewable energies depend in one way or another on sunlight. Wind and hydroelectric power are the direct result of differential heating of the Earth's surface which leads to air moving about (wind) and precipitation forming as the air is lifted. Other renewable energies that do not depend on sunlight are geothermal energy, which is a result of radioactive decay in the crust combined with the original heat of accreting the Earth, and tidal energy, which is a conversion of gravitational energy. Solar. <P> 1. Solar Energy. The sun is our most powerful source of energy. Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used for heating, lighting and cooling homes and other buildings, generating electricity, water heating, and a variety of industrial processes. Most forms of renewable energy come either directly or indirectly from the sun. <P> When they do not pollute the environment (air, land or water). Renewable energy includes Biomass, Wind, Hydro-power, Geothermal and Solar sources. Renewable energy can be converted to electricity, which is stored and transported to our homes for use. In this lesson, we shall take a closer look at how renewable energy is converted into electricity. <P> Renewable energy resources exist over wide geographical areas, in contrast to other energy sources, which are concentrated in a limited number of countries. Rapid deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency is resulting in significant energy security, climate change mitigation, and economic benefits. Renewable energy flows involve natural phenomena such as sunlight, wind, tides, plant growth, and geothermal heat, as the International Energy Agency explains: Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. <P> Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Renewable energy flows involve natural phenomena such as sunlight, wind, tides, plant growth, and geothermal heat, as the International Energy Agency explains: Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. <P> Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources—such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat—which are renewable (naturally replenished). Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity/micro hydro, biomass and biofuels for transportation. Renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished. This includes sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, tides, water, and various forms of biomass. This energy cannot be exhausted and is constantly renewed <P> The movement of wind and water, the heat and light of the sun, the carbohydrates in plants, and the warmth in the Earth—all are energy sources that can supply our needs in a sustainable way. A variety of methods are used to convert these renewable resources into electricity. Solar energy—power from the sun—is a vast and inexhaustible resource that can supply a significant portion of our electricity needs. A range of technologies is used to convert the sun’s energy into electricity, including solar collectors and photovoltaic panels. <P> Listverse Staff. There are many sources of energy that are renewable and considered to be environmentally friendly and harness natural processes. These sources of energy provide an alternate ‘cleaner’ source of energy, helping to negate the effects of certain forms of pollution. <P> Renewable hydroelectric energy provides 16.3% of the worlds electricity. When hydroelectric is combined with other renewables such as wind, geothermal, solar, biomass and waste: together they make the renewables total, 21.7% of electricity generation worldwide as of 2013.

what causes the uterus to grow during pregnancy
<P> Uterus Size During Pregnancy: First Trimester. Around 12 weeks pregnant, the uterus is the size of a grapefruit and starts to grow up and out of the your pelvis, but still fits within it. If you are carrying twins or multiples, your uterus will start growing and stretching sooner. <P> Your uterus grows exponentially during pregnancy. Think about blowing up a balloon and that’s basically what your uterus does during pregnancy. Before pregnancy, the uterus is about the size of an orange and is situated deep in the pelvis. <P> During pregnancy, fibroids may increase in size. Most of this growth occurs from blood flowing to the uterus. Combined with the extra demands placed on the body by pregnancy, the growth of fibroids may cause discomfort, feelings of pressure, or pain. <P> Fibroid tumors are usually undetected non-cancerous masses that grow in the uterus. There are several types of fibroids found in the uterus, and it is common for women to have multiple fibroids of various sizes. <P> Many changes happen to the uterus during pregnancy. It gets much larger to accommodate the growing fetus; it may cause menstrual-like cramps; and, on very rare occasions, the uterus may rupture or noticeably bleed. In most cases, the uterus returns to its normal state once the pregnancy is over. <P> Fibroids are muscular tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus (womb). Another medical term for fibroids is leiomyoma (leye-oh-meye-OH-muh) or just myoma. Fibroids are almost always benign (not cancerous). Fibroids can grow as a single tumor, or there can be many of them in the uterus. <P> Uterine Fibroids-What Happens. Uterine fibroids can grow on the inside wall of the uterus, within the muscle wall of the uterus, or on the outer wall of the uterus. They can alter the shape of the uterus as they grow. Over time, the size, shape, location, and symptoms of fibroids can change. <P> Uterus Size During Pregnancy: Second Trimester. During the second trimester your uterus will grow to the size of a papaya. It no longer fits inside the pelvis. It will be situated midway between the navel and breasts. As your uterus grows, it is pushing organs out of their usual places and putting tension on surrounding muscles and ligaments.
Cramps and, on very rare occasions, the uterus may rupture or noticeably bleed.
why are plant deficiencies important
<P> Thursday, September 17, 2015 | Ed Bloodnick. Manganese (Mn) is an important plant micronutrient and is required by plants in the second greatest quantity compared to iron. Like any other element, it can have a limiting factor on plant growth if it is deficient or toxic in plant tissue. <P> The secondary nutrients, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S), are as important to plant nutrition as the primary nutrients. Deficiency in secondary nutrients, including Ca, can depress plant growth as much as primary nutrient deficiencies do. <P> Plant Nutrition: Needs and Deficiencies. By John. The basic idea: The essential nutrients required by plants are as follows: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, copper, boron, chlorine, and molybdenum. Nitrogen deficiency in plants is noticeable by stunted growth and yellowing leaves starting at the bottom of the plant and moving gradually upward as nitrogen deficiency persists. Phosphorus: Phosphorus, like nitrogen, is related with a whole host of biochemicals within plants. <P> Calcium: Calcium is the major contributor to plant cell wall strength; calcium deficiency results in weak cell walls. Calcium is also important in the water relations and translocation of biochemicals in a plant, albeit less involved than potassium. Deficiency symptoms include yellowing and/or deformation of plant anatomy starting at the most actively growing portions of the plant such as stem and leaf tips. Nitrogen deficiency in plants is noticeable by stunted growth and yellowing leaves starting at the bottom of the plant and moving gradually upward as nitrogen deficiency persists. Phosphorus: Phosphorus, like nitrogen, is related with a whole host of biochemicals within plants. <P> Magnesium (Mg) deficiency is a detrimental plant disorder that occurs most often in strongly acidic, light, sandy soils, where magnesium can be easily leached away. Magnesium is an essential macro nutrient found from 0.2-0.4% dry matter and is necessary for normal plant growth. <P> Problem: Calcium is an important nutrient which helps provide structure to the cannabis plant and helps it withstand stress like from heat. A cannabis calcium deficiency can sometimes be difficult to diagnose since calcium deficiencies are often accompanied by magnesium, iron, and/or other deficiencies. Learn more about the relationship between calcium and other cannabis nutrient deficiencies. <P> However, manganese is less mobile in a plant than magnesium so that the symptoms of deficiency appear first on young leaves. It is always best to get a sample to determine the exact cause of the symptoms. Other problems such as iron deficiency, nematodes, and herbicide injury may also cause leaves to yellow. By Susan Patterson, Master Gardener. The role of manganese in plants is important for healthy growth. Keep reading to learn more about how to fix manganese deficiencies to ensure the continual health of your plants. <P> Importance of Phosphorus to Plants. Phosphorus is a component of the complex nucleic acid structure of plants, which regulates protein synthesis. Phosphorus is, therefore, important in cell division and development of new tissue. Phosphorus is also associated with complex energy transformations in the plant. Adding phosphorus to soil low in available phosphorus promotes root growth and winter hardiness, stimulates tillering, and often hastens maturity. <P> Every living thing needs food for fuel to grow and survive, and plants are just like animals in this regard. Scientists have determined 16 different elements that are crucial to healthy plant life, and iron is a small but important item on that list. Plants only need a tiny amount of iron to be healthy, but that small amount is crucial. First of all, iron is involved when a plant produces chlorophyll, which gives the plant oxygen as well as its healthy green color. This is why plants with an iron deficiency, or chlorosis, show a sickly yellow color to their leaves. Iron is also necessary for some enzyme functions in many plants
secondary nutrients, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S), are as important to plant nutrition as the primary nutrients. Deficiency in secondary nutrients, including Ca, can depress plant growth as much as primary nutrient deficiencies do.
what is iron used for in phytoplankton
<P> Like other plants, phytoplankton are phototrophs, meaning that they use photosynthesis to create their own food. As such, they contribute to sequestration of carbon dioxide into the biosphere, and have their own rate of primary productivity. In these regions, most of the macro nutrients-such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous-are rarely used up by phytoplankton, despite the greater productivity, because some micro nutrients, especially iron, are far more limiting (Croot et al, 2004). <P> They are the base of the food web in these environments. Plankton can be divided into broad functional groups: 1 Phytoplankton are microscopic plants that form the base of the marine food chain. 2 Though they are small, the energy they capture from the sun through photosynthesis helps to sustain almost all life in the ocean. <P> They also require trace amounts of iron which limits phytoplankton growth in large areas of the ocean because iron concentrations are very low. Other factors influence phytoplankton growth rates, including water temperature and salinity, water depth, wind, and what kinds of predators are grazing on them. An archived version is available as a PDF file. Derived from the Greek words phyto (plant) and plankton (made to wander or drift), phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that live in watery environments, both salty and fresh. Some phytoplankton are bacteria, some are protists, and most are single-celled plants. Among the common kinds are cyanobacteria, silica-encased diatoms, dinoflagellates, green algae, and chalk-coated coccolithophores <P> Phytoplankton growth is often limited by the scarcity of iron in the ocean. As a result, many people are discussing plans to fertilize large areas of the ocean with iron to promote phytoplankton blooms that would transfer more carbon from the atmosphere to the deep sea. Phytoplankton are mostly microscopic, single-celled photosynthetic organisms that live suspended in water. Like land plants, they take up carbon dioxide, make carbohydrates using light energy, and release oxygen. They are what is known as primary producers of the ocean—the organisms that form the base of the food chain <P> Phytoplankton /ˌfaɪtoʊˈplaeŋktən/ ˌfaɪtoʊˈplæŋktən are the autotrophic components of the plankton community and a key factor of, oceans seas and freshwater basin. Ecosystems the name comes from The greek words (φυτόν), phyton meaning , plant and (πλαγκτός), planktos meaning wanderer or. drifter Large-scale experiments have added iron (usually as salts such as iron sulphate) to the oceans to promote phytoplankton growth and draw atmospheric CO2 into the ocean. However, controversy about manipulating the ecosystem and the efficiency of iron fertilization has slowed such experiments. <P> Iron fertilization is the intentional introduction of iron to the upper ocean to stimulate a phytoplankton bloom. This is intended to enhance biological productivity, which can benefit the marine food chain and is under investigation in hopes of increasing carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere. Iron is a trace element necessary for photosynthesis in all plants. It is highly insoluble in sea water and is often the limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth. Large algal blooms can be created by supplying iron to iron-deficient ocean waters. Current estimates of the amount of iron required to restore all the lost plankton and sequester 3 gigatons /year of CO 2 range widely, from approximately 2 hundred thousand tons/year to over 4 million tons/year. <P> Like land plants, phytoplankton have chlorophyll to capture sunlight, and they use photosynthesis to turn it into chemical energy. They consume carbon dioxide, and release oxygen. All phytoplankton photosynthesize, but some get additional energy by consuming other organisms. An archived version is available as a PDF file. Derived from the Greek words phyto (plant) and plankton (made to wander or drift), phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that live in watery environments, both salty and fresh. Some phytoplankton are bacteria, some are protists, and most are single-celled plants. Among the common kinds are cyanobacteria, silica-encased diatoms, dinoflagellates, green algae, and chalk-coated coccolithophore <P> Most species of phytoplankton are harmless or beneficial, given that they constitute the base of the marine food chain. Fertilization increases phytoplankton only in the deep oceans (far from shore) where iron deficiency is the problem. Most coastal waters are replete with iron and adding more has no useful effect. Current estimates of the amount of iron required to restore all the lost plankton and sequester 3 gigatons /year of CO 2 range widely, from approximately 2 hundred thousand tons/year to over 4 million tons/year.
Iron is often used as limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth.
atp is required for what processes
<P> Free Energy from Hydrolysis of ATP. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of life and it provides that energy for most biological processes by being converted to ADP (adenosine diphosphate). Since the basic reaction involves a water molecule, this reaction is commonly referred to as the hydrolysis of ATP. Adenosine Triphosphate. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is considered by biologists to be the energy currency of life. It is the high-energy molecule that stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do. <P> Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. <P> Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images. ATP, shorthand for adenosine triphosphate, is the standard molecule for cellular enger in the human body. All motion and metabolic processes within the body begins with energy that is released from ATP, as its phosphate bonds are broken in cells through a process called hydrolysis. Once ATP is used, it is recycled through cellular respiration where it gains the needed phosphate ions to store energy again. All metabolic processes that occur on the cellular level are powered by ATP. When ATP releases one or two phosphate ions, energy is released as the chemical bonds between the phosphate ions are broken. <P> ( The energy stored in ATP can then be used to drive processes requiring energy, including biosynthesis, locomotion or transportation of molecules across cell membranes.) A specific example is the Na/K ATPase pump, which helps regulate the cell membrane potential. Cellular respiration is the burning of glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP. Many of the pumps and transporters moving materials into or out of cells requires ATP, however, there are others that do not-they are called passive transport. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_re... <P> When ATP releases its bond from the molecule, it reactivates the protein molecule. This process of adding or removing a phosphorus from a protein molecule is referred to phosphorylation. One example of ATP being used in intracellular signaling is the release of calcium for cellular processes in the brain. All metabolic processes that occur on the cellular level are powered by ATP. When ATP releases one or two phosphate ions, energy is released as the chemical bonds between the phosphate ions are broken. <P> Conversion from ATP to ADP.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is considered by biologists to be the energy currency of life. It is the high-energy molecule that stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do. <P> ALL cellular work-all the activities of life-requires energy, either from ATP or from related molecules. A lot of oxygen is required for this process! The sugar AND the oxygen are delivered to your cells via your bloodstream. This process occurs partially in the cytoplasm, and partially in the mitochondria. During Cellular Respiration, sugar is broken down to CO 2 and H 2 O, and in the process, ATP is made that can then be used for cellular work. <P> ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. It is one of the end products of photophosphorylation, cellular respiration, and fermentation and used by enzymes and structural proteins in many cellular processes, including biosynthetic reactions, motility, and cell division. Fermentation entails the generation of energy via the process of substrate-level phosphorylation in the absence of a respiratory electron transport chain. In most eukaryotes, glucose is used as both an energy store and an electron donor. <P> ATP is consumed in the cell by energy-requiring (endergonic) processes and can be generated by energy-releasing (exergonic) processes. In this way ATP transfers energy between spatially separate metabolic reactions. ATP is the main energy source for the majority of cellular functions. Fermentation entails the generation of energy via the process of substrate-level phosphorylation in the absence of a respiratory electron transport chain. In most eukaryotes, glucose is used as both an energy store and an electron donor.

what is a residual fee
<P> AAA |. How much a fixed asset is worth at the end of its lease, or at the end of its useful life. If you lease a car for three years, its residual value is how much it is worth after three years. The residual value is determined by the bank that issues the lease before the lease begins. It is based on past models and future predictions. It is an important factor in determining the car's monthly lease payments (the other factors are the interest rate and tax). <P> A fee paid to an actor or other performer for a rerun of a program in which he/she was part of the cast. An advertiser or a broadcaster may pay the fee, which is set in a union contract. It is also called a residual fee. <P> A residual is a payment made to the creator of performance art (or the performer in the work) for subsequent showings or screenings of the (usually filmed) work. A typical use is in the payment of residuals for television reruns. The word is often used in the plural form. <P> The type of wages paid – such as “residual payment” or “reuse fees” – so that these wages can be distinguished from earnings for work performed; d. The date you “received” the wages. Refer to item #3 below to determine when these wages are considered as received. Enter this information on your Continued Claim form. 1. Residual payments* and holding fees are considered wages for unemployment insurance purposes.

An advertiser or a broadcaster may pay the fee, which is set in a union contract. It is also called a residual fee. <P> In the industry, your payment for the day you work is referred to as a “session fee”. Any payment you get after that is referred to as a “residual payment”. Residuals are the cornerstone of an industry system designed to compensate actors for the continued use of their performance. Sadly, you are getting paid for that—it is part of your session fee (what the film was created for, a.k.a. ‘first use”). A year after that (2 years after you worked), the film goes to DVD. About 6 months after that, you’ll get your first residual check! You’ll get paid again when it shows on Showtime, HBO etc. <P> Definition. A payment or stream of payments that is received after a good or service is provided. Residual payments are most often associated with the entertainment industry, since movies and music can generate revenues long after they are originally released. For example, a musician might receive a residual payment for a song released many years ago if a recent movie includes the music on its soundtrack.

In most cases, you can't negotiate the residual value. If you lease a $35,000 German luxury car for three years and it has a residual value of 70 percent, it is worth $24,500 at the end of the lease. It has only lost $10,500 of its value, and you will have paid $291 a month (plus interest, tax and related fees)

why doesn't nitrogen form pentahalides like phosphorus
<P> Nitrogen is chemically less reactive. This is because of the high stability of its molecule, N2. In N2, the two nitrogen atoms form a triple bond. This triple bond has very high bond strength, which is very difficult to break. It is because of nitrogen's small size that it is able to form pπ−pπ bonds with itself <P> As a result, phosphorus-phosphorus triple bonds are much weaker than Nitrogen-nitrogen triple bonds, for the same reason that S=S double bonds are weaker than O=O double bonds phosphorus atoms are too big to come close enough together to form strong bonds. The size of a phosphorus atom also interferes with its ability to form double bonds to other elements, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. As a result, phosphorus tends to form compounds that contain two P-O single bonds where nitrogen would form an N=O double bond. Nitrogen forms the nitrate, NO 3 - , ion, for example, in which it has an oxidation number of +5 <P> In N2 the two nitrogen atoms form a triple bond. This triple bond has very high bond strength, which is very difficult to break. It is because of nitrogen's small size p pi-p pi bond with itself. 4. Nitrogen does not catenate like carbon or phosphorous here and hence forms triple bond with another N-atom, which is a very very strong bond and satisfies its octet thus it has no requirement to catenate and form long chains, and exists as an almost inert gas in atmosphere. <P> Phosphorus, just like nitrogen, hydrogen or oxygen, is an element found in nature. Phosphorus is usually found in the form of phosphate but is used up quickly in nature because plants and animals need it to grow. Algae doesn't need much nitrogen or phosphorus to live, so when many nutrients are in the environment, the algae can grow at a very fast rate. The large amount of algal growth is called an algal bloom. Two nutrients that aquatic plants and animals need to grow are Nitrogen and Phosphorus. Nitrogen. Aquatic organisms need nitrogen to live and can find it in different sources throughout nature. There are two ways a living organism can get the nitrogen it needs: 1 Eat aquatic plants, such as blue-green algae, which take nitrogen from the water and convert it to ammonia or nitrate <P> Score more in Chemistry. Start Now with Video Lessons, Sample Papers, Revision Notes & more for Class-XII-Science-CBSE. Nitrogen do not form Pentahalides because of the non-availability of d-orbitals..where as Phosphorus have vacant d-orbitals to form Pentahalides. Posted by Shyam Prasad (student) on 2/10/09. In the case of Bismuth, due to inert pair effect Bi 3+ will be much more stable, so it will not form a pentahalide (removal of the s-electrons is necessary for forming the 5+ cation, and due to poor shielding by d and f-orbitals the s-electrons will be very strongly held by the nucleus. <P> 1. N2 is exist as diatomic molecule in which two nitrogen atoms are attached to each other by triple bond this triple bond is due to p(pie)-p(pie) multiple bonding (sidewise overlapping) and such bonding is not possible in phosphorus due to it 's large size but possible in nitrogen due to it 's small size. 4. Nitrogen does not catenate like carbon or phosphorous here and hence forms triple bond with another N-atom, which is a very very strong bond and satisfies its octet thus it has no requirement to catenate and form long chains, and exists as an almost inert gas in atmosphere. <P> The chemistry of nitrogen is dominated by the ease with which nitrogen atoms form double and triple bonds. A neutral nitrogen atom contains five valence electrons: 2 s 2 2 p 3. A nitrogen atom can therefore achieve an octet of valence electrons by sharing three pairs of electrons with another nitrogen atom. The size of a phosphorus atom also interferes with its ability to form double bonds to other elements, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. As a result, phosphorus tends to form compounds that contain two P-O single bonds where nitrogen would form an N=O double bond. Nitrogen forms the nitrate, NO 3 - , ion, for example, in which it has an oxidation number of +5

what is lime for
<P> A lime (from Arabic and French lim) is a citrus fruit, which is typically round, lime green, 3–6 centimetres (1.2–2.4 in) in diameter, and containing acidic juice vesicles. There are several species of citrus trees whose fruits are called limes, including the Key lime (Citrus aurantifolia), Persian lime, kaffir lime, and desert lime. Limes are an excellent source of vitamin C, and are often used to accent the flavours of foods and beverages. <P> LIME Overview Information. Lime is a citrus fruit. The juice, fruit, peel, and oil are used to make medicine. Oil pressed from the crushed fruit is known as “distilled lime oil.” Oil pressed from the unripe peel is known as “expressed lime oil.”. Lime juice is used for severe diarrhea (dysentery). <P> Lime production process [edit]. Limestone in the lime industry is a general term for rocks that contain eighty percent or more of calcium or magnesium carbonates including marble, chalk, oolite, and marl. When the term is encountered in an agricultural context, it probably refers to agricultural lime. Otherwise it most commonly means slaked lime, as the more dangerous form is usually described more specifically as quicklime or burnt lime. <P> Burning (calcination) converts them into the highly caustic material quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO) and, through subsequent addition of water, into the less caustic (but still strongly alkaline) slaked lime or hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH) 2), the process of which is called slaking of lime. When the term is encountered in an agricultural context, it probably refers to agricultural lime. Otherwise it most commonly means slaked lime, as the more dangerous form is usually described more specifically as quicklime or burnt lime. <P> Often called “liming,” applying lime to soil is a common method of neutralizing soil pH that is too acidic. Whether lawn lime or garden lime, neutralizing soil acidity is a necessity in order for grass, flowers, or vegetables to thrive. Over time, soil naturally becomes more acidic. Acidic soil leads to an excess of weeds and moss (acid loving plants), and also prevents fertilizer from doing its job. Lime is used in order to counteract this acidification by acting as a powerful neutralizer, helping soil to perform at its best for your lawn or garden. <P> The oldest uses of lime exploit its ability to react with carbon dioxide to regenerate calcium carbonate. When lime is mixed with water and sand, the result is mortar, which is used in construction to secure bricks, blocks, and stones together. Mortar is initially a stiff paste that is laid between the bricks. It gradually hardens, cementing the bricks together. <P> Lime is a calcium-containing inorganic material in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides predominate. Strictly speaking, lime is calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide. When the term is encountered in an agricultural context, it probably refers to agricultural lime. Otherwise it most commonly means slaked lime, as the more dangerous form is usually described more specifically as quicklime or burnt lime. <P> Lime is a soil amendment used by gardeners and homeowners everywhere in order to raise soil pH. Over time, soil naturally becomes more acidic. Acidic soil leads to an excess of weeds and moss (acid loving plants), and also prevents fertilizer from doing its job. Lime is used in order to counteract this acidification by acting as a powerful neutralizer, helping soil to perform at its best for your lawn or garden. <P> It is usually stored under water to prevent it curing prematurely. Dry Hydrate of Lime is produced from the same material and in the same way as lime putty except that, instead of slaking under water, the calcium oxide is hydrated with a precisely controlled amount of water to produce a dry powder (calcium hydroxide). <P> The main component is calcium carbonate. There are several types of lime. You can determine which one you need with a soil test. Lime with a high calcium content is referred to as calcitic lime and has the added benefit of adding calcium to the soil. Some limestone contains a significant amount of magnesium and is referred to as dolomitic lime. Soil pH is a measure of a soil alkalinity or acidity. A soil is acidic, or sour, if it has a pH below 7.0 (neutral). You may need to add lime to your soil if a soil test indicates a pH level below the optimum of 6.0 or 7.0.
To raise soil pH.
where does the sciatic nerve run
<P> An acupuncture treatment/chemotherapy. This where does the sciatic nerve run in your body where does the sciatic nerve run in your body pressure on the sciatic nerve which runs from where does the sciatic nerve run in your body. the lower back and one of them. There are a number of everyday strain. <P> The sciatic nerve is the largest and longest spinal nerve in the human body. Extending from the lumbar and sacral plexuses in the lower back, the sciatic nerve runs through the buttocks and into the thighs. It delivers nerve signals to and from the muscles and skin of the thighs, lower legs and feet. <P> But this doesn't always involve the sciatic nerve. In many cases, back pain is the result of overextending or straining the muscles in the lower back. What most often sets sciatica apart is the way the pain radiates down the leg and into the foot. It may feel like a bad leg cramp that lasts for days. <P> The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the human body; it runs from each side of the lower spine through deep in the rear and back of the thigh and all the way down … to the foot, connecting the spinal cord with the leg and foot muscles. <P> This is a large nerve that runs from the lower back down the back of each leg. When something injures or puts pressure on the sciatic nerve, it can cause pain in the lower back that spreads to the hip, buttocks, and leg. Up to 90% of people recover from sciatica without surgery. <P> Sciatica refers to the pain an individual feels from the back down through the leg. The pain radiates from the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body and runs from the spinal cord through the hip and down the back of each leg. It is responsible for controlling most of the muscles in your legs.
Runs from the spinal cord through the hip and down the back of each leg.
what is a homeostatic mechanism
<P> Homeostatic control. To maintain homeostasis, communication within the body is essential. The image below is an example of how a homeostatic control system works. Here is a brief explanation: 1 Stimulus – produces a change to a variable (the factor being regulated). 2 Receptor – detects the change. 3 The receptor monitors the environment and responds to change (stimuli) <P> Homeostasis or homoeostasis (homeo- + -stasis) is the property of a system in which variables are regulated so that internal conditions remain stable and relatively constant. Examples of homeostasis include the regulation of temperature and the balance between acidity and alkalinity (pH). It is a process that maintains the stability of the human body's internal environment in response to changes in external conditions. <P> Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. A homeostatic mechanism is the property of a system, either open or closed, that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, constant condition. For example: the hypothalamus (which is a homeostatic mechanism) senses when your body's temperature is too high or too low. Homeostasis is a term used that refers to the ability of an organism to maintain a relatively stable internal environment so that it can carry on all its metabolic proce … sses to sustain life. If you did not have proper homeostasis, you would die. <P> homeostasis. 1. Maintenance of a stable internal environment inside an organism. 2. The body’s internal balance, produced by a regulatory system that maintains more or less stable temperature, blood pressure, electrolyte levels, etc. <P> Human body include mechanisms that help regulate the body, this includes organs, glands, tissues and cells. The adjusting of these enables the body to constantly be in a steady state. The main mechanisms of homeostasis are body temperature, body fluid composition, blood sugar, gas concentrations, and blood pressure. Blood Pressure Pressure by which the blood is pumped around the body is controlled by a homeostatic mechanism. <P> Homeostatic mechanisms control a property of all living things called homeostasis. Homeostasis is a built-in, automated, and essential property of living systems. Breathing is an example of a homeostatic property. Homeostatic mechanisms are self-regulating mechanisms that function to keep a system in the steady state needed for survival. These mechanisms counteract the influences that drive physiological properties towards a more unbalanced state. <P> Homeostatis is the maintenance of constant conditions in the internal environment of the body despite large swings in the external environment. For example, when the external … temperature drops, the body's mechanisms create body heat in an attempt to keep the internal temperature within a suitable range. Homeostasis is a term used that refers to the ability of an organism to maintain a relatively stable internal environment so that it can carry on all its metabolic proce … sses to sustain life. If you did not have proper homeostasis, you would die. <P> Homeostasis and its Mechanism. As mentioned earlier in the page homeostasis is the reletively stable conditions that the human body maintains to keep the internal environment of the body functioning healthily. This also allows cells for example the red blood cell function properly, to be able to carry oxygen around the body. <P> Almost all homeostatic control mechanisms are negative feedback mechanisms. These mechanisms change the variable back to its original state or “ideal value”. A good example of a negative feedback mechanism is a home thermostat (heating system). The thermostat contains the receptor (thermometer) and control center. The image below is an example of how a homeostatic control system works. Here is a brief explanation: 1 Stimulus – produces a change to a variable (the factor being regulated). 2 Receptor – detects the change.
A homeostatic mechanism is the property of a system, either open or closed, that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, constant condition.

Also, just for your information, the Jamaican Flag Meaning is: The Jamaican flag is symbolized by the motto, which is: Hardships. <P> The flag of Jamaica, as one of the country’s national symbols, represents the history that its people cherish and take pride in. It depicts the richness of their culture and the strength of its people. The flag of Jamaica comprises of 4 triangles that are divided a gold saltire. These four triangles are black in hoist and fly, then green triangles below and above. The colors of the flag describe the ideals and things that the Jamaicans place great value on. These colors are also Pan African colors that portray the Jamaican’s pride in their African origin. The flag can be literally interpreted as “the sun shineth, the land is green and the people are strong and creative”. <P> Pan-African Colors. Collectively, the colors of the Jamaican flag---as do reggae music and Rastafarianism---testify to the black population's cultural ties to its ancestral homeland of Africa. In 1925, the African National Congress (ANC) adopted a flag using the very colors that would later appear on Jamaica's standard. On Aug. 6, 1962, Jamaica's national flag made its official debut, marking the Caribbean island's political independence after more than 400 years of successive Spanish and British rule. <P> Jamaican Flag Meaning: The Jamaican flag is symbolized by the motto: 'Hardships there are but the land is green and the sun shineth'. The black triangles represent the adversity Jamaica has overcome and for hardships it may have in the future.

How Long to Cook Boneless Pork Chops
<P> To use the simplest method, bake your pork chops at 350 degrees Fahrenheit on a shallow, uncovered roasting pan. Using this method, expect bone-in pork chops to require about 20 minutes cooking time per pound, and boneless pork chops to need about 23 minutes per pound. <P> Best Answer: Depends on their thickness; and if you've pre-seared them or not. FOR PRE-SEARED: For chops that are about 1 inch thick, cook for about 15-20 minutes. For thinner chops, 10-12 minutes. FOR UN-SEARED: For chops that are about 1 inch thick, cook for about 25 minutes. For thinner chops, about 15 minutes. Dry pork is not nice to eat, so don't overcook. <P> It is important to know the weight of the boneless pork chops when determining how long to cook them. Bake the pork chops in an uncovered shallow pan at 350 F. Boneless chops take approximately 11 minutes for every pound, with most pork chops being about a pound. Leave the pork chops to rest in the pan for 3 minutes after they are finished baking. Aim for an internal temperature between 145 and 160 F. Sources: <P> The average time to cook boneless pork chops in an oven is 12 to 15 minutes at 350 F. The cooking time depends on the thickness of the pork chop.

what is language acquisition definition
<P> Researchers define language acquisition into two categories: first-language acquisition and second-language acquisition. First-language acquisition is a universal process regardless of home language. Babies listen to the sounds around them, begin to imitate them, and eventually start producing words. <P> Language acquisition usually refers to first-language acquisition, which studies infants' acquisition of their native language. This is distinguished from second-language acquisition, which deals with the acquisition (in both children and adults) of additional languages. <P> Second language acquisition (also known as second language learning or sequential language acquisition) refers to the process by which a person learns a foreign language--that is, a language other than his or her mother tongue. See Examples and Observations, below. Also see: 1 Vocabulary Acquisition. <P> Definition of Second Language Acquisition. The definition of second language acquisition and learning is learning and acquisition of a second language once the mother tongue or first language acquisition is established. Second language acquisition or SLA is the process of learning other languages in addition to the native language. <P> language acquisition. language acquisition, the process of learning a native or a second language. The acquisition of native languages is studied primarily by developmental psychologists and psycholinguists. <P> language acquisition. the process of learning a native or a second language.

average cost for making a movie
<P> What stirred the studio chiefs' anxiety was the announcement today by the Motion Picture Association of America, representing the film studios, that the average cost of making and marketing a movie rose to nearly $60 million last year. The increase during the last decade: 148 percent. But some of this was attributable to higher ticket prices. The average cost of making a film rose to $39.8 million, 9.5 percent more than the previous year. But that did not account for promotional and advertising costs: the average cost of both making and marketing a film last year was $59.7 million. ''I'm not shocked by these figures,'' said Mr. Silver of Universal <P> But cutting through the clutter and building awareness takes money.. In 1980, the average cost of marketing a studio movie in the U.S. was $4.3 million ($12.4 million in today's dollars). By 2007, it had shot up to nearly $36 million. If the MPAA still tracked spending on P&A, that number would be north of $40 million today for medium-size films like The Fault in Our Stars or Tammy. <P> In 2007, for example, the average cost to produce a major studio movie was around $65 million. But the production costs don't cover distribution and marketing, which was another $35 million or so, on average, in 2007, bringing the total cost to produce and market a major movie right at $100 million. Those kind of numbers are a long way from the lowly $400,000 it cost to make Napoleon Dynamite.. (For related reading, see Movie Genres That Make The Most Money. ). Mega Movie Budgets And $100 million is just an average. <P> 4/21/2014 7:57am PDT. The average cost of a movie ticket fell 4.7 percent in the first quarter of 2014, to $7.96, compared to a hefty $8.35 in the prior quarter, according to the National Association of Theater Owners. PHOTOS: 35 of 2014's Most Anticipated Movies: 'X-Men: Days of Future Past,' 'Mockingjay,' 'Spider-Man 2'. <P> The average production cost last year mushroomed to $34.3 million, up 14% from 1993's $29.9 million, based on the 168 films released by member companies of the Motion Picture Assn. of America. Advertising, marketing and print costs increased to an average of $16.1 million per film, from 1993's $14 million. <P> The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) cost just over $100 million and made over $1 billion worldwide. Back in 1993, Jurassic Park was on the lower end of the average movie budget, costing $63 million; over 10 years later, in 2004, Shrek 2 had a similar budget of over $70 million. Those kind of numbers are a long way from the lowly $400,000 it cost to make Napoleon Dynamite.. (For related reading, see Movie Genres That Make The Most Money. ). Mega Movie Budgets And $100 million is just an average. <P> There's no point in making a $100 or $200 million dollar movie if no one knows about it. Spiderman 2, which had a production cost of $200 million, racked up another $75 million in expenses for marketing.

Mega Movie Budgets And $100 million is just an average. <P> How much does everything cost? The average production budget of a major studio film in 2007 was $106 million [source: MPAA ]. Marketing makes up a huge chunk of modern movie budgets -- $35.9 million on average -- largely because the fates of many Hollywood releases are sealed in the first week. Big money is spent on trailers, TV ads, billboards, and Web sites to pack people in on opening weekend.

what is meant by recessive
<P> Dominant and Recessive refer to different types of genes a child gains from its parents. In general, a dominant gene overpowers a recessive gene (like more people have brown eyes than blue eyes), but there are some cases where recessive genes are visible on a child over the dominant gene. <P> 2. Genetics. a. pertaining to the allele of a gene pair whose effect is masked by the second allele when both are present in the same cell or organism. b. of or pertaining to the hereditary trait determined by such an allele. 3. Genetics. Compare dominant (def. 6). a. the recessive allele of a gene pair. In an organism having two different genes for a trait, the recessive form is suppressed by its counterpart, or dominant, form located on the other of a pair of chromosomes. See more at inheritance. <P> (general) Going back; receding. (genetics) Of, or pertaining to, a gene (or allele) whose phenotypic expression is masked by a dominant gene (or allele). noun. (1) A recessive allele or trait. (2) An organism whose recessive trait is discernible or expressed. Supplement. In genetics, a recessive gene or allele is one in which the effect is not tangible, or is masked by the effects of the dominant gene. The recessive trait may be expressed when the recessive genes are in homozygous condition or when the dominant gene is not present. That happens when an organism inherits a pair of recessive genes from its parents. Word origin: Latin recess(us) , a withdrawal, receding part + - ive. <P> • RECESSIVE (adjective). The adjective RECESSIVE has 2 senses: 1. of or pertaining to a recession. 2. (of genes) producing its characteristic phenotype only when its allele is identical. Familiarity information: RECESSIVE used as an adjective is rare. • RECESSIVE (noun). The noun RECESSIVE has 1 sense: 1. an allele that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its paired allele is identical. Familiarity information: RECESSIVE used as a noun is very rare. <P> Of or relating to a trait that is expressed only when the determining allele is present in the homozygous condition. n. Genetics. 1. A recessive allele or trait. 2. An organism having a recessive trait. In an organism having two different genes for a trait, the recessive form is suppressed by its counterpart, or dominant, form located on the other of a pair of chromosomes. See more at inheritance. <P> Relating to the form of a gene that is not expressed as a trait in an individual unless two such genes are inherited, one from each parent. In an organism having two different genes for a trait, the recessive form is suppressed by its counterpart, or dominant, form located on the other of a pair of chromosomes. See more at inheritance. <P> You will recall that genes have different forms called alleles. An allele can be recessive or dominant. A recessive allele only shows if the individual has two copies of the recessive allele. For example, the allele for blue eyes is recessive. You need two copies of the allele to have blue eyes. A dominant allele always shows, even if the individual only has one copy of the allele. For example, the allele for brown eyes is dominant. <P> Definition. (genetics). (1) (Of, or pertaining to) An allele or a gene that is expressed in an organism ’s phenotype, masking the effect of the recessive allele or gene when present. (2) (Of, or pertaining to) An organism that expresses the dominant gene (or allele). (ecology) (Of, or pertaining to) An organism or group of organisms having the most considerable influence or control in its ecological community among other organism. <P> You have 2 copies of every chromosome.....on chromosomes are genes and genes in dominant and recessive case have 2 versions (alleles) of that gene. We write dominant alleles of a genes in capital letters and recessive alleles as little letters of the SAME letter. eg. A dominant gene masks the expression of a recessive gene. A good example is cystic fibrosis (CF). You will have CF if you have 2 copies of the recessive gene (cf/cf). If you have the dominant gene and a recessive (CF/cf)) or 2 dominant genes (CF/CF), you won't have the disease.

what is an oscilloscope
<P> Medical Definition of OSCILLOSCOPE. : an instrument in which the variations in a fluctuating electrical quantity appear temporarily as a visible waveform on the fluorescent screen of a cathode-ray tube—called also cathode-ray oscilloscope. Definition of OSCILLOSCOPE. : an instrument in which the variations in a fluctuating electrical quantity appear temporarily as a visible wave form on the fluorescent screen of a cathode-ray tube. — os·cil·lo·scop·ic \ae-ä-ˌsi-lə-ˈskae, ˈskä-pik-ˌae-\ ˌä. Sə lə adjective see oscilloscope. DEFINED. for kids advertisement <P> The oscilloscope can be adjusted so that repetitive signals can be observed as a continuous shape on the screen. A storage oscilloscope allows single events to be captured by the instrument and displayed for a relatively long time, allowing observation of events too fast to be directly perceptible. Bandwidth in Hz x rise time in seconds = 0.35. For example, an oscilloscope intended to resolve pulses with a rise time of 1 nanosecond would have a bandwidth of 350 MHz. In analog instruments, the bandwidth of the oscilloscope is limited by the vertical amplifiers and the CRT or other display subsystem. <P> The Oscilloscope. The oscilloscope is basically a graph-displaying device-it draws a graph of an electrical signal. In most applications the graph shows how signals change over time: the vertical (Y) axis represents voltage and the horizontal (X) axis represents time. In conclusion, to use an analog oscilloscope, you need to adjust three basic settings to accommodate an incoming signal: 1 The attenuation or amplification of the signal. 2 Use the volts/div control to adjust the amplitude of the signal before it is applied to the vertical deflection plates. 3 The time base. <P> An oscilloscope is only good if you can actually connect it to a signal, and for that you need probes. Probes are single-input devices that route a signal from your circuit to the scope. They have a sharp tip which probes into a point on your circuit. <P> Oscilloscopes are used to observe the change of an electrical signal over time, such that voltage and time describe a shape which is continuously graphed against a calibrated scale. The observed waveform can be analyzed for such properties as amplitude, frequency, rise time, time interval, distortion and others. Bandwidth in Hz x rise time in seconds = 0.35. For example, an oscilloscope intended to resolve pulses with a rise time of 1 nanosecond would have a bandwidth of 350 MHz. In analog instruments, the bandwidth of the oscilloscope is limited by the vertical amplifiers and the CRT or other display subsystem. <P> Here's the connections for a simple signal measurement. The oscilloscope is being used to display the voltage output from a signal generator. You should do that also. 1 Set the frequency of the signal generator output to something like 1 or 2 kHz. 2 Set the amplitude of the signal generator output to 1 or 2 volts. 3 Connect the output of the signal generator to the oscilloscope. <P> An oscilloscope is a laboratory instrument commonly used to display and analyze the waveform of electronic signals. Virtually all oscilloscopes have adjustable horizontal sweep and vertical deflection settings. The illustration shows two common waveforms as they might appear when displayed on an oscilloscope screen. The signal on the top is a sine wave; the signal on the bottom is a ramp wave. It is apparent from this display that both signals have the same, or nearly the same, frequency <P> Intro. An oscilloscope's primary function is to provide a graph of a signal's voltage over time. This is useful for measuring such things as clock frequencies, duty cycles of pulse-width-modulated signals, propagation delay, or signal rise and fall times.

what do maori wear for the haka
<P> The haka adds a unique component, derived from the indigenous Maori of New Zealand, and which aligns with the wider Polynesian cultures of the Pacific. The All Blacks perform the haka with precision and intensity which underpin the All Black approach.

The sports team that has given the haka the greatest exposure overseas has been the All Blacks, who perform it before their matches. <P> The haka (plural is the same as singular: haka) is a traditional ancestral war cry, dance, or challenge from the Māori people of New Zealand. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment. In November 2012, a Maori kapa haka group from Rotorua performed a version of the ' Gangnam Style ' dance mixed with a traditional Maori haka in Seoul, celebrating 50 years of diplomatic relations between South Korea and <P> Haka is the generic name for all Maori dance. Today, haka is defined as that part of the Maori dance repertoire where the men are to the fore with the women lending vocal support in the rear. Most haka seen today are haka taparahi, haka without weapons. Many sports teams and individuals travelling from New Zealand overseas tend to have the haka Ka mate as part of their programme. The sports team that has given the haka the greatest exposure overseas has been the All Blacks, who perform it before their matches. <P> Prepare yourself for the energy and awe of the haka. Play. The haka is a type of ancient Māori war dance traditionally used on the battlefield, as well as when groups came together in peace. Haka are a fierce display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity. Actions include violent foot-stamping, tongue protrusions and rhythmic body slapping to accompany a loud chant. The words of a haka often poetically describe ancestors and events in the tribe's history. <P> Today, Maori wear clothes that most people throughout the world wear-shorts, trousers, t-shirts, singlets, jandals, sneakers and whatever is in fashion or comfortable! Traditional clothing is still worn on special occasions and ceremonies, and in Maori performance groups (kapa haka). <P> 1 The Haka of the Maori People of New Zealand New Zealand, a southern Pacific island, is the closest landmass to the country of Australia; it is approximately 1500 kilometers from the country. 2 Its remoteness has enabled …. Haka Dance The Haka is a traditional Maori dance. The Haka was originally a combination of dance and chanting that was performed by Maori warriors before the went to battle. … Nowadays the Haka is mainly performed for amusement or ceremoniously: a welcome for important guests or to commemorate an important day or event. <P> The origins of the haka are deeply rooted in the mists of time. It is a history rich in folklore and legend that reflects Maori heritage. New Zealand has grown up immersed in haka since first encounters between Maori and early European explorers, missionaries and settlers. They thrill to the spectacle of the All Blacks forming ranks prior to kick off. The modern All Blacks perform the Haka with passion and pride. They have reclaimed the dignity and mystique attached to this traditional art form and in the process, increased its recognition as an icon of New Zealand. <P> Also, focussing on Ka mate, the haka performed by the All Blacks there are a few paragraphs on its origin, a translation of the words, and a brief description of how it relates to rugby. Finally there is a bibliography for further reading and links to a couple of related websites. <P> The HakaFor most non-Maori New Zealanders today their knowledge of the Haka is perhaps limited to that most performed of Haka called Ka mate, Ka mate, which was composed by Ngati Toa Chieftain Te Rauparaha around 1820. Many sports teams and individuals travelling from New Zealand overseas tend to have the haka Ka mate as part of their programme. The sports team that has given the haka the greatest exposure overseas has been the All Blacks, who perform it before their matches. <P> The haka dance of the Maori is one of the best-known cultural traditions of Polynesia. These dances are accompanied by song and body percussion created by clapping hands, stomping feet, and slapping thighs. There is a leader and a chorus that responds to the leader's lead vocal line. The islands of New Zealand are the presentday homeland of the Maori. New Zealand consists of two islands: the North Island and the South Island. The North Island is hilly with areas of flat, rolling terrain. The South Island is larger and more mountainous.

how long should a child practice piano each day
<P> For seven-to-ten year old beginners, a half an hour a day is a good starting point. More motivated and talented children may practice more, but in general, a half an hour of daily mindful practice will yield good results. For example, a common recommendation is that a piano student taking half-hour lessons should practice half an hour a day; a student taking hour lessons should practice an hour a day. <P> But for the average adult, if you can get in an hour a day, you can certainly accomplish something worthwhile in that time period. For the youg child 20 minutes might be realistic, while older kids might practice 45 or 60 minutes per day. 2. Rating: 8.0/ 10 (1 vote cast). Lots of people, both kids and adults, wonder how long they should practice to get the most out of their piano playing. While there is no cut-and-dried answer to that question, here are a couple things you might consider: 1 <P> Studies have varied the length of daily practice from 1 hour to 8 hours, and the results suggest that there is often little benefit from practicing more than 4 hours per day, and that gains actually begin to decline after the 2-hour mark. The key is to keep tabs on the level of concentration you are able to sustain. I play drums, bass, guitar, piano, harmonica and some accordion and a little tin whistle and I’d play for several hours a day. you shouldn’t worry about how many hours. some people need too practice for 1 hour and some needs to practice for 5 hours you really shouldn’t time it. <P> For most piano students, a reasonable amount of practice is around 30 minutes per day, and for adults, doing this in one sitting may work. For some students, especially kids, 1-2 short sessions of 10-15 minutes per day is usually much more effective. Much like pruning hedges, little and often is the key. Even professional musicians who practice 6-8 hours per day do not remain at the piano / keyboard for more than 40 minutes in any one sitting. They take regular breaks and come back to different aspects of their practice for each relatively short session. <P> Report Abuse. Every day for a minimum of 5 minutes. No matter how busy you are, you can at least work in 5 minutes. Ideally a beginner should aim for 30 minutes a day, but so log as you hit that mark 3-4 times per week, you should see progress. Maybe do a sticker practice chart and if she practices every day for 20 minutes (set a timer) or every other day depending on how you decide, then you can reward her, maybe money, or a trip somewhere like mini gold, the zoo, to a favorite restaurant, movies, etc. <P> All students should practice six days a week. How long each daily session is, depends on the child’s age. Typically speaking, young children, ages 3 and 4, should be practicing about 10 minutes. Five-and six-year-olds should extend it to 15 minutes, seven-and eight-year-olds, 20 minutes, nine-and ten-year-olds, 25 minutes. Children ages 11 through 14 should devote a full half of an hour to their piano studies. The time suggestions listed above are merely that. <P> Many piano teachers suggest that the student’s lesson length be a preliminary rule of thumb for a daily practice goal. For example, a common recommendation is that a piano student taking half-hour lessons should practice half an hour a day; a student taking hour lessons should practice an hour a day. <P> At this stage, piano students also need to make time in their practice schedules for more technical drills, including etudes, scales, and arpeggios, which at the intermediate level might require 15 minutes or so a day.

It estimates the average amount of hemoglobin in each red blood cell, measured in picograms (a trillionth of a gram). Automated cell counters calculate the MCH, which is reported as part of a complete blood count (CBC) test. <P> The test used to determine the quantity of hemoglobin in the blood is known as the MCH blood test. The full form of MCH is Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin. This test is therefore used to determine the average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell in the body.

Lab Tests Online explains that the MCH aspect of a CBC test “is a measurement of the average amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin inside a red blood cell. <P> The MCH blood test is done as a component of a blood test called a Complete Blood Count (CBC), which evaluates the composition of the blood, checking hematocrit, white blood cells (WBC) and platelets as well as hemoglobin and red blood cells (RBC). It is usually ordered to get an overview of general health. <P> MCH: Abbreviation for mean cell hemoglobin, which is the average amount of hemoglobin in the average red cell. The MCH is a calculated value derived from the measurement of hemoglobin and the red cell count. (The hemoglobin value is the amount of hemoglobin in a volume of blood while the red cell count is the number of red blood cells in a volume of blood.)

<P> The Iris Family: Genus Iris. The genus Iris is the predominant member of the Iridaceae family in the Northern Hemisphere. There are about 300 species worldwide, occurring in North America, Asia and Europe. At least one species, Iris setosa, is circumpolar, occurring in Sibera and in Canada. <P> There currently are five recognized species in the Series Hexagonae, as the Louisiana iris group within the Genus Iris is called. They are: I. brevicaulis, I. fulva, I. hexagona, I. giganticaerulea and I. nelsonii. <P> W. R. Dykes clarified the situation by a compromise in his monograph The Genus Iris (Cambridge University Press, 1913; reprinted in 1974 by Dover). Some groupings of species previously made separate genera became sections within the genus Iris. These included Evansia, Oncocyclus, and Xiphion. <P> Irises are wonderful garden plants. The word Iris means rainbow. Irises come in many colors such as blue and purple, white and yellow, pink and orange, brown and red, and even black. The genus Iris has about 200 species and is native to the North Temperate regions of the world. The habitat of irises also varies a lot. Some irises grow in deserts, some in swamps, some in the cold far north, and many in temperate climates. <P> The genus Iris is the predominant member of the Iridaceae family in the Northern Hemisphere.

what is the percentage of home business
<P> 1 Divide the area used for your business by the total area of your home. 2 For example, if your home is 2000 square feet and your home office is 400 square feet, your office space is 20% of the total area of your home. The space used for the business is determined by one of two methods: 1 The Area Method. 2 Divide the area used for your business by the total area of your home. 3 <P> 1 For example, if your home is 2000 square feet and your home office is 400 square feet, your office space is 20% of the total area of your home. 2 The Number-of-Rooms Method. 3 Divide the number of rooms used for business by the total number of rooms in the home (use this method if the number of rooms is about the same). The space used for the business is determined by one of two methods: 1 The Area Method. 2 Divide the area used for your business by the total area of your home. 3 <P> Step 2. Determine the total area of your home. Step 3. Divide the business portion of your home by the total area of your home to find the business-use percentage. For example, if you have eight rooms in your house and you use one entire room for an office, your business-use percentage is 12.5 percent. Step 1. <P> Finally, calculate the percentage of your home that is used for business by dividing the square footage of rooms used for business by the total square footage of your home. Calculate Percentage. Calculate the percentage of time that each identified room is used for business purposes. For example, a home office is used for work 100 percent of the time. <P> Alternately, if your home office was 168 square feet and your home was a total of 2000 square feet, your business use percentage will be 168/2000 or 8.4 percent. In this case, you will have a larger deduction if you use the number of rooms calculation. Day care providers can use time method. The day care center is open 12 hours per day, five days per week, which amounts to 60 hours out of a possible 168. She must multiply her home office expenses of $10,000 by .80 to arrive at her business use percentage of $8,000, and then multiply this amount by 60/168 to arrive at her allowable deduction of $2,857. <P> Your business-use percentage must be discounted because the space is available for personal use part of the time. To do that, you compare the number of hours the day care business is operated, including preparation and cleanup time, to the total number of hours in the year (8,760). That’s 34% of the available hours, so your business write-off percentage is 13.6% (40% of 34%). Simplified square footage method: Beginning with 2013 tax returns, the IRS began a simplified option for claiming the deduction. <P> Assume you use 40% of your house for a day care business that operates 12 hours a day, five days a week for 50 weeks of the year. That’s 3,000 hours out of the total of 8,760 hours in the year. That’s 34% of the available hours, so your business write-off percentage is 13.6% (40% of 34%).

why are the eloi like cattle in a field
<P> The Morlocks in the film also have a system for summoning the Eloi into their sphinx by using air raid sirens. Supposedly, this was originally used to warn of bombing. Responding to the siren has become inborn, and the Eloi now do so like cattle. The Morlocks use whips to herd them. <P> It is the only member of the monotypic genus Bubulcus, although some authorities regard its two subspecies as full species, the western cattle egret and the eastern cattle egret. Despite the similarities in plumage to the egrets of the genus Egretta, it is more closely related to the herons of Ardea. The cattle egret is a stocky heron with an 88–96 cm (35–38 in) wingspan; it is 46–56 cm (18–22 in) long and weighs 270–512 g (9.5–18.1 oz). It has a relatively short thick neck, a sturdy bill, and a hunched posture. The non-breeding adult has mainly white plumage, a yellow bill and greyish-yellow legs. <P> The adjective that is used to describe something that is like a cow or an ox is bovine . The words cow, bull and calf are also used to describe some other large animals that are not related to cattle, such as elephants, moose and whales. The word cattle is used for some wild animals as well as for domesticated cattle. Wild cattle include the Water Buffalo from South East Asia, the Musk Ox and Yak from Central Asia, the Bison of North America and Europe and the African Buffalo. <P> The White Sphinx is a curious landmark in 802,701 AD. The Morlocks stow the Time Machine inside its enclosed bronze pedestal, so it becomes a symbolic and literal barrier for the Time Traveler, much as the sphinx blocked the entrance for the Greek hero Oedipus. The Question and Answer section for The Time Machine is a great resource to ask questions, find answers, and discuss the novel. Who. The Time Traveler (TT) The Time Traveler is the protagonist of the story, and he takes over the narration from Chapter III until Chapter XII. <P> Cattle is a word to describe animals which are mammals and belong to the genus Bos. Within the general term of cattle are cows, bulls, oxen, heifers, steers, bullocks and calves. Cattle are the most common type of large domesticated hoofed animals. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae. The word cattle is used for some wild animals as well as for domesticated cattle. Wild cattle include the Water Buffalo from South East Asia, the Musk Ox and Yak from Central Asia, the Bison of North America and Europe and the African Buffalo. <P> Cows have been known to walk for miles to find their calves. Cows like to sleep close to their families. Sleeping arrangements are determined by their position in the social hierarchy. There are approximately 920 different breeds of cows in the world. Cattle when first let out into fields following a long winter confinement, tear about the field, kicking their legs into the air. They seem literally to be full of the joys of spring and look for all the world like excited toddlers released into the playground after hours sat behind their desks.. <P> In these cases, you could use a field alias to give the field a more descriptive name. For example, if you had a field named ST_SUFX that stored the type of street, which was indicated by the suffix used on the street name, you could give this field an alias of Street name suffix. Fields in a table store the same category of data and in the same data type. For example, if you have a field called NAME in a table of customers, the entries for this field all will be customer names and will be stored as text. <P> 1 You can apply different topology and relationship rules to different subtypes. 2 You can also apply different attribute or coded domains to other fields in the table based on subtypes. 3 Note: You apply the domain to a field for a specific subtype. Fields in a table store the same category of data and in the same data type. For example, if you have a field called NAME in a table of customers, the entries for this field all will be customer names and will be stored as text. <P> It's the stuff of childhood road trips — gazing out the car window at a field of prostrate cows, when someone (often a kindly aunt) points out: Looks like rain's coming!. We know cows have special powers. They might lie down because they’re tired. Cows are herd animals. They might just be following the direction of a leader. If an animal is left on its own in a pasture, it will spend a third of its time gathering food, a third of its time eating, and a third of it sleeping.
The Morlocks in the film also have a system for summoning the Eloi into their sphinx by using air raid sirens. Supposedly, this was originally used to warn of bombing. Responding to the siren has become inborn, and the Eloi now do so like cattle.
what tissue is blood vessels attached to in a chicken wing
<P>  Skeletal muscles are attached to bones.  Skin is the membranous tissue that forms the outer covering of the body that provides a protective barrier from the outside environment.  Muscle tissue is composed of bundles of skeletal muscle fibers. When these tissues expand and contract they produce motion in the wing. One raw chicken wing for each student.

Materials protective glovesscissorssharp knifechicken wingsafety goggles Procedure 1. Study the diagram of a chicken wing. Use the diagram to help you locate certain muscular and skeletal structures.2. Rinse the chicken wing under cool, running water. Dry it thoroughly with a paper towel.3. <P> Cut the skin lengthwise along the entire length of the chicken wing to the joint between the upper wing and the lower wing. Try not to cut through the muscles below the skin. Remove the skin from the joint between the upper wing and lower wing. Be sure not to cut any tendons or ligaments. This is difficult. It works best if you slide your finger around under the skin to break some of the connective tissues then grab the skin, cut and pull hard from top to bottom. Rinse the chicken wing under cool, running water and thoroughly dry it with a paper towel. Pick up the wing and imagine it is still on the chicken. Answer Observation Question #1. Imagine that the wing is your arm. <P> Connective tissues, blood vessels, and muscle surround the proximal joint and the bone. Proximal Joint of Chicken Wing: Appearance of functions of structures: We can see that the wing extends and flexes because of the different muscles, ligaments, and tendons throughout the chicken's arm. The wing's and the leg's distal bones both formed hinge joints when articulated with the proximal bones. The proximal bones of the wing and leg were both surrounded by muscle, skin, blood vessels, and fascia. The bone forming the ball and socket joint is the humerus, when articulated with the body. <P> In this investigation, you will dissect a chicken wing and look for the following tissues and organs: After completing the lab you should be able to e. xplain the structural roles of muscles, tendons, bones, and joints in the movement (function) of the chicken wing. 1) skin. 2) connective tissue. Remove the skin from the wing. Pulling the skin tight while cutting works best. The skin is epithelial tissue consisting of the epidermis (outer layer) and dermis (inner layer). Connective tissue-. this tissue resembles a flat, thin film or membrane which holds the skin to the muscles. <P> Check your understanding: Answer the following questions based on your dissection of the chicken wing 1.

what are tendons and ligaments
<P> There are elastic tissues (tendons) in the foot that connect the muscles to the bones and joints. The largest and strongest tendon of the foot is the Achilles tendon, which extends from the calf muscle to the heel. <P> Though similar to tendons, ligaments connect bone to bone and help to stabilize joints they surround. They are composed mostly of long, stringy collagen fibers that create bands of tough, fibrous connective tissue. <P> Ligaments and tendons are soft collagenous tissues. Ligaments connect bone to bone and tendons connect muscles to bone. Ligaments and tendons play a significant role in musculoskeletal biomechanics. They represent an important area of orthopaedic treatment for which many challenges for repair remain. <P> On one level, there is not much difference organically between a ligament and a tendon. Both are formed from chains of collagen cells produced by proteins stored in the body. This is where the similarity stops, however. A ligament acts much like a shock absorber and connects bone to bone. <P> Ligaments and tendons are fibrous bands of connective tissue that attach to bone. Ligaments connect two or more bones together and help stabilize joints. Tendons attach muscle to bone. Tendons vary in size and are somewhat elastic and attach bones to muscles. <P> It's easy to confuse tendons and ligaments, but these two connective tissues are not the same thing and actually perform different functions for the body. Here's what you need to know. Tendons connect muscle to bone. These tough yet flexible bands of fibrous tissue attach the skeletal muscles to the bones they move. <P> Ligaments and tendons are soft collagenous tissues. Ligaments connect bone to bone and tendons connect muscles to bone. Ligaments and tendons play a significant role in musculoskeletal biomechanics. They represent an important area of orthopaedic treatment for which many challenges for repair remain.

which province is qwaqwa in
<P> II ABSTRACT This thesis studies the role of narratives, particularly stories that describe the origins of people, in the construction, maintenance and restructuring of society. The focus of this thesis is on the ‘stories of origin’ of the Basotho of QwaQwa, a small town in the Free State province of South Africa. The exact size of the population today has not been shown in the recent government census; emphasis has been on cities and large towns. QwaQwa is situated between the borders to the Natal province and Lesotho in the Eastern Free State province of South Africa. <P> Phuthaditjhaba (formerly Witsieshoek or Qwaqwa) is a town in the Free State province of South Africa. Phuthaditjhaba is a seSotho name that means meeting place of the tribes. It is located on the banks of the Elands River. <P> After 27 April 1994 QwaQwa was dissolved, following the first South African democratic election and reunited with South Africa, together with the nine other homelands. It is now part of the Free State province, with Phuthaditjhaba serving as the seat of Maluti a Phofung Local Municipality. Two tribes lived in the region, the Bakoena and the Batlokoa. In 1969 they were united and the area was named KwaKwa. In the same year the name was changed to QwaQwa to avoid an ethnic identification. On 1 November 1974 QwaQwa was granted self government, with Kenneth Mopeli as Chief Minister. <P> In percentages: South Africa's largest province is the Northern Cape (30.5%) and the smallest Gauteng (1.5%). In between are the Eastern Cape (13.8%), the Free State (10.6%) and Western Cape (also 10.6%), Limpopo (10.3%), North West (8.6%), KwaZulu-Natal (7.8%) and Mpumalanga (6.3%). Gauteng, the smallest province, has the largest population, and KwaZulu-Natal the second-largest. The Northern Cape, which takes up nearly a third of South Africa's land area, has the smallest population. The Eastern Cape has the third-largest population, and Western Cape the fourth-largest. <P> QwaQwa was a bantustan (“homeland”) in the central eastern part of South Africa. It encompassed a very small region of 655 square kilometers (253 sq mi) in the east of the former South African province of Oranje Free State, bordering Lesotho. Its capital was Phuthaditjhaba. It was the designated homeland of more than 180,000 Sesotho-speaking Basotho people. Mopeli would serve as Chief Minister throughout QwaQwa’s existence. After 27 April 1994 QwaQwa was reunited with South Africa, together with the nine other homelands. It is now part of the Free state province, with Phuthaditjhaba serving as the seat of Maluti a Phofung Local Municipality. The municipality also comprises the towns of Harrismith and Clarens <P> QwaQwa was a bantustan (homeland) in the central eastern part of South Africa. It encompassed a very small region of 655 square kilometres (253 sq mi) in the east of the former South African province of Orange Free State, bordering Lesotho. Its capital was Phuthaditjhaba. It was the designated homeland of more than 180,000 Sesotho-speaking Basotho people. Two tribes lived in the region, the Bakoena and the Batlokoa. In 1969 they were united and the area was named KwaKwa. In the same year the name was changed to QwaQwa to avoid an ethnic identification. On 1 November 1974 QwaQwa was granted self government, with Kenneth Mopeli as Chief Minister. <P> Qwaqwa in the Eastern Free State is the gateway to Sentinel. QwaQwa was a Bantustan, or homeland, in the eastern part of South Africa. It encompassed a very small region of 655 km² in the east of the former South African province of Orange Free State, bordering Lesotho. Its capital was Phuthaditjhaba. QwaQwa means whiter than white, from the Sesotho language, referring to the many sandstone hills of the Drakensberg mountains in which the area is situated. In Afrikaans it was known as Witsieshoek, after the name of a farm. Qwaqwa is now part of the Free State province. <P> The Basotho pony refers to the sure-footed progress of the people on the often difficult path of progress. The Basotho pony is the natural means transport in this mountainous region. QwaQwa was re-incorporated into South Africa on 27 April 1994 and is now part of the Free State province. Qwaqwa was a very small territory, with no enclaves, in northeastern Orange Free State (today's Free State), bordering on Lesotho and Natal. Antonio Martins, 30 May 1999. The name QwaQwa means where we come from and the homeland was given internal self-government on 1 November 1974.

what sort of cable do tower cranes use
<P> A crane is a type of machine, generally equipped with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It is mainly used for lifting heavy things and transporting them to other places. The generally accepted definition of a crane is a machine for lifting and moving heavy objects by means of ropes or cables suspended from a movable arm. As such, a lifting machine that does not use cables, or else provides only vertical and not horizontal movement, cannot strictly be called a 'crane'. <P> NSA461 120928 | Page 3 of 7 Types of Cranes Railroad Crane A railroad crane has flanged wheels for use on railroads. The simplest form is a crane mounted on a railroad car. More capable devices are purpose-built. Different types of crane are used for maintenance work, recovery operations and freight loading in goods yards. Tower Crane The tower crane is a modern form of balance crane. Crawler Crane Crawler is a crane mounted on an undercarriage with a set of tracks (also called crawlers) that provide stability and mobility. Crawler cranes range in lifting capacity from about 40 US tons to 3500 US tons. Crawler cranes have both advantages and disadvantages depending on their use. <P> 1 An overhauling weight used on the cable of a crane or similar hoisting device shall be, ( 2 a) prevented from sliding up or down the able; and. ( 3 b) securely attached to the load hook and the cable. 4 No overhauling weight used on the cable of a crane or similar hoisting device shall be split. 1 The cable used by a crane or similar hoisting device in all hoisting operations shall, ( 2 a) be steel wire rope of the type, size, grade and construction recommended by the manufacturer of the crane or similar hoisting device; <P> NSA461 120928 | Page 1 of 7 Types of Cranes Mounted Crane A crane mounted on a truck carrier provides the mobility for this type of crane. Generally, these cranes are able to travel on highways, eliminating the need for special equipment to transport the crane. Crawler Crane Crawler is a crane mounted on an undercarriage with a set of tracks (also called crawlers) that provide stability and mobility. Crawler cranes range in lifting capacity from about 40 US tons to 3500 US tons. Crawler cranes have both advantages and disadvantages depending on their use. <P> Cranes come in all shapes and sizes. For the most part a crane is a machine that is equipped with pulleys and cables that can be used to lift and lower materials upwards and also shift them horizontally. They are commonly employed in a construction industry and in the manufacture of heavy equipment. Since the crane needs to be moved into position in the first place, the wheel and axle is part of the mechanism that moves the treads that move the crane into position. A crane is considered a compound machine in that it utilizes a number of simple machine designs to reduce the overall work done by the mechanism. <P> Types of Cranes and What They Do. When it comes to types of cranes, there is a wide variety of brands, sizes, weights, and lifting capacity to suit any lifting needed anywhere in the world. What we find is that most cranes are engineered to have a working life of between 20-25 years, if there is regular maintenance and upkeep done. They are used to lift concrete, steel, large tools, and a variety of other building materials. 3. Marine Crane – Marine Cranes are most often found either on the shore line or attached onto the boat or ocean vessel themselves. <P> Tower cranes are a modern form of balance crane that consist of the same basic parts. Fixed to the ground on a concrete slab (and sometimes attached to the sides of structures), tower cranes often give the best combination of height and lifting capacity and are used in the construction of tall buildings. The generally accepted definition of a crane is a machine for lifting and moving heavy objects by means of ropes or cables suspended from a movable arm. As such, a lifting machine that does not use cables, or else provides only vertical and not horizontal movement, cannot strictly be called a 'crane'. <P> No matter what kind of construction project, pre-job planning for tower crane installation and operation is a key to a successful project. There are many considerations that should be thought out and planned long before the crane is scheduled to arrive and be erected on the job. For this purpose, taglines are to be used on all loads. For lifts where the load could make contact with the boom of the crane or other objects in the work area, taglines must be long enough to control the load from the ground until the load is controlled from a different location. <P> Jib Crane A jib crane is a type of crane where a horizontal member (jib or boom), supporting a moveable hoist, is fixed to a wall or to a floor-mounted pillar. Jib cranes are used in industrial premises and on military vehicles. Crawler Crane Crawler is a crane mounted on an undercarriage with a set of tracks (also called crawlers) that provide stability and mobility. Crawler cranes range in lifting capacity from about 40 US tons to 3500 US tons. Crawler cranes have both advantages and disadvantages depending on their use. <P> To move a load in and out from the cranes center axis a trolley is employed along the underside of the horizontal jib. Powering the trolley is the trolley drive mounted on the horizontal jib. A cable from the trolley drive runs through the jib and is attached to the trolley. Secure connections are an essential component of any tower crane and those connections are only as secure as the bolts and pins used on the crane. Anchor bolts must be of high tensile strength and pins and other bolts should be routinely re-torqued according to manufacturer specifications.

how often should I use my inhaler for bronchitis
<P> I have been wondering if I'm using the inhaler too much. I was diagnosed a week and a half ago with bronchitis and seasonal asthma and was told to use the albuterol inhaler every four to six hours, one to two puffs. In the beginning, it wasn't even working. I couldn't breathe and it was awful <P> 1 Before you use VENTOLIN HFA for the first time, you must prime the inhaler so that you will get the right amount of medicine when you use it. 2 To prime the inhaler, take the cap off the mouthpiece and shake the inhaler well. 3 Then spray the inhaler 1 time into the air away from your face. Priming Your VENTOLIN HFA Inhaler. 1 <P> When asthma symptoms are in high gear and the wheezing and coughing sets in, it's the inhaler to the rescue -- the rescue inhaler, to be exact. If you have asthma, your rescue inhaler should be among the first things you reach for when you leave the house, along with your wallet and car keys. When symptoms rear their ugly heads, one or two inhalations can be taken every four to six hours for the quick-relief of wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness. But it is important that you take your asthma medication the correct way. When I see a patient, I ask them to use an inhaler for me, says Honsinger. <P> Proventil, Proventil-HFA, Ventolin, ProAir, AccuNeb, and Vospire are some of the brand names of albuterol that your doctor may prescribe. The prescribed dosage for albuterol inhalers for bronchitis is one to two puffs every 4 to 6 hours. If you exercise, you should take two puffs about 15 minutes before you start. If you are you using a nebulizer, then you should take in 1.25 mg, 2.5 mg, or 0.63 mg, three to four times in a day. Albuterol inhalers for bronchitis interact with other stimulant medications. 3. Side Effects. Like any other medications, albuterol inhalers for bronchitis have side effects. These include increased heart rate, tremors, headache, high blood pressure, nausea, dizziness, nosebleeds, throat irritation, aggravation of diabetes, decreased potassium, and allergic reactions. <P> Check out the types of inhalers that you can use of for treating bronchitis. While choosing an inhaler to alleviate the symptoms of bronchitis or asthma, your doctor would select one from the following types based on the inhalation method that works best for you. <P> The most common class of rescue inhalers is the beta-agonist bronchodilator. Beta-agonist drugs provide short-acting, quick relief when symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness flare -- whether it's from a friend's cat, summer pollen, a dusty house, or a run on a cold day. When symptoms rear their ugly heads, one or two inhalations can be taken every four to six hours for the quick-relief of wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness. But it is important that you take your asthma medication the correct way. When I see a patient, I ask them to use an inhaler for me, says Honsinger. <P> Every Day: Control Inhaler. These inhalers help prevent flares and keep symptoms from getting worse. They're called control inhalers because they have medicine that controls inflammation. Use yours as often as your doctor tells you to, usually once or twice a day: 1 Whether or not you're having symptoms <P> RE: how many times can I use my rescue inhaler? I have bronchitis and asthma and have been having horrible coughing fit, cannot catch breath. Used inhaler an hour ago, no help, took a shower, no help, still coughing short of breath. Albuterol inhalers [mdi] are prescribed every 4 hours as needed. You are encouraged to used it every 2 hours three times [ie...normally, you use it a 8am and 12noon, but feel the need to use it at 10am]. You can do this cycle ONE time per day for 2 days... <P> Best Answer: You can use your rescue inhaler up to 5 minutes apart if it is bad enough. In the ER we will sometimes give the same med continuously to stop bronchospasms (coughing fits). If after about 3 or 4 times (of 2 puffs) it doesn't get better and you have continuous coughing and can't catch your breath call 911. Albuterol inhalers [mdi] are prescribed every 4 hours as needed. You are encouraged to used it every 2 hours three times [ie...normally, you use it a 8am and 12noon, but feel the need to use it at 10am]. You can do this cycle ONE time per day for 2 days...
One to two puffs every 4 to 6 hours.
what size follicle release egg
<P> The lh surge finishes the egg maturity and causes the follicular sac to burst and the egg released. The follicular sac can measure around 20 to 29 mm at ovulation. Natural cycles (without fertility meds) tend to release eggs at a smaller size (22-24 mm). RE's try to mimic that with their IVF patients. Clomid causes follicular to grow and release at a larger size (25-29 mm). Follicular grow about 2mm a day. Final size depends on the eggs response to fsh (and other hormones) and it's rate of growth and development. The egg inside the follicular sac it always the same <P> Approaching puberty and beginning menstruation, that girl has roughly 400,000 ovarian follicles left. As a girl or woman has her monthly cycle, between 10 and 20 of those follicles will begin to grow. Usually only one reaches the proper follicle size to trigger the release of the egg. The rest are harmlessly absorbed into the body. Follicle growth happens when a drop in estrogen ends up signaling your pituitary gland to release something called the Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (or FSH). <P> Report Abuse. Our doctor measures in mm not cm and they look for follicles to be 18 mm or bigger to be considered mature. A follicle is the sac that should contain a egg there is not guarantee that each follicle will contain a mature egg. <P> Ovarian follicle is a roughly spheroid cellular aggregation set found in the ovaries. It also secretes hormones that influence stages of the menstrual cycle. Women begin puberty with about 400,000 follicles, each with the potential to release an egg cell (ovum) at ovulation for fertilization. <P> The selected follicle grows to be about 20 mm in diameter, or about the size of a large grape. This process takes about two weeks and culminates in ovulation. The body triggers ovulation by releasing a hormone called luteinizing hormone, or LH. This hormone is readily measured in the urine some 12 to 24 hours prior to the release of the egg. Commercially available ovulation detection kits are based on the measurement of LH. During ovulation, the follicle ruptures, releasing the fluid which is contained inside and thus freeing the egg. <P> Each egg grows inside of a structure called a “follicle”. A follicle basically looks like a small blister, about 3 to 4 mm in size, nestled on the surface of the ovary, containing follicular fluid and a tiny cell the size of a small grain of sand, which is the “oocyte”, or egg. This hormone is readily measured in the urine some 12 to 24 hours prior to the release of the egg. Commercially available ovulation detection kits are based on the measurement of LH. During ovulation, the follicle ruptures, releasing the fluid which is contained inside and thus freeing the egg. <P> Ovulation is the release of egg from the ovaries. In humans, this event occurs when the de Graaf's follicles rupture and release the secondary oocyte ovarian cells. After ovulation, during the luteal phase, the egg will be available to be fertilized by sperm. In addition, the uterine lining (endometrium) is thickened to be able to receive a fertilized egg <P> Once a follicle is matured it will send a message to the brain to release the LH hormone, which is the lutenizing hormone. The release of the LH tells the follicle to release the egg. Studies have shown that if the size of the mature follicle at ovulations was below 15 mm, then no pregnancy occurred. For those women who do not ovulate regularly, there medications that can be taken. <P> Background on normal ovulation. 1 The egg lives in an ovarian follicle until it is released at the time of ovulation. 2 As a follicle grows in size during a menstrual cycle a fluid cavity enlarges in it. 3 The egg is attached to the follicle wall. 1 Ovulation is the process of rupture of the mature follicle and release of the egg. 2 The fallopian tube is then supposed to pick up the egg and, if all goes well, the sperm and egg have a productive date in the woman's fallopian tube. <P> They produce the hormones that tell the brain when to release an egg, because in some women these hormones are off balanced. Mature follicle size at ovulation is usually between 10 mm and 18 mm. Some medications make sure the mature follicles reach the proper size. They release the hormone at the right times and help the woman's body as if it was natural. The release of the LH tells the follicle to release the egg. Studies have shown that if the size of the mature follicle at ovulations was below 15 mm, then no pregnancy occurred. For those women who do not ovulate regularly, there medications that can be taken.

how was nuclear power discovered
<P> History of Nuclear Energy Production. Physicist Enrico Fermi discovered the potential of nuclear fission in 1934, when he bombarded uranium atoms with neutrons and was surprised to discover that the products of this reaction were much lighter than uranium. <P> Answers. Best Answer: Nuclear energy was developed over a period of time in many different parts of the world, the atom was named by the ancient Greeks. Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a German chemist, and named after the planet Uranus. Ionising radiation was discovered by Wilhelm Rontgen in 1895, by passing an electric current through an evacuated glass tube and producing continuous X-rays. <P> Radioactivity was discovered in 1896 by French physicist Henri Becquerel. But the process of getting from that point to having nuclear power was long and consisted of many steps over a period of over forty years. Nuclear fission was first achieved in the lab by Enrico Fermi in 1934, and the nature of fission was first understood in 1938. The fact that a critical mass of uranium-235 could produce an exothermic chain reaction was part of this understanding and lead to research to produce both nuclear power and a nuclear bomb <P> Nuclear reactors produce energy from uranium through an atomic fission reaction—that is, radioactive atoms are split apart and the energy that is released in that fission is harnessed to produce heat and electricity. Nuclear energy was discovered accidentally by French physicist Henri Becquerel, when he found that photographic plates stored near uranium compounds reacted as though they had been exposed to light in a way similar to X-rays. <P> | Share | Cite. The process of nuclear fission was discovered in 1938 by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann and was explained in early 1939 by Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch. The fissionable isotope of uranium, U-235, can be split by bombarding it with a slow, or thermal, neutron. More on nuclear energy Nuclear Fission from Infoplease: 1 nuclear energy: Nuclear Fission-Nuclear Fission The process of nuclear fission was discovered in 1938 by Otto Hahn and Fritz ... <P> Nuclear energy is one of the renewable energy sources being developed today because of the positive benefits it gives especially to the environment. This alternative energy is produced in two ways -- when atoms come together in a fusion process and when atoms split apart in a fission process. The discovery Enrico Fermi is considered a major figure in the discovery of nuclear energy. This physicist born in Rome, Italy was the first scientist to split the atom and his research later led to nuclear power generation <P> Nuclear fission of heavy elements was discovered on December 17, 1938 by German Otto Hahn and his assistant Fritz Strassmann, and explained theoretically in January 1939 by Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Robert Frisch. Frisch named the process by analogy with biological fission of living cells. The amount of free energy contained in nuclear fuel is millions of times the amount of free energy contained in a similar mass of chemical fuel such as gasoline, making nuclear fission a very dense source of energy. <P> Nuclear Fission. The process of nuclear fission was discovered in 1938 by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann and was explained in early 1939 by Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch.

The term includes nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion. There is a social debate about nuclear power. Proponents, such as the World Nuclear Association and Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy, contend that nuclear power is a safe, sustainable energy source that reduces carbon emissions.

what is another name for borax
<P> Borax is a white or clear mineral of the borate subclass classification. [1] The chalky white property is due to a chemical reaction through dehydration, and may contain a brown, yellow, or green tint. [2] It has a vitreous luster and a transparent to translucent appearance. <P> it is a white crystaline salt known as sodium tetraborate. It has many uses, detergants, cosmetics and as an insectiside amongst other uses. Tincal is another name for borax. <P> Borax is a common household and commercial chemical. Here's a look at what borax is, some facts about borax, borax projects and how you can get borax. Answer: Borax is a natural mineral with a chemical formula Na 2 B 4 O 7 • 10H 2 O. The IUPAC name for borax is sodium tetraborate decahydrate. <P> Borax, also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid. It is usually a white pow … der consisting of soft colorless crystals that dissolve easily in water. -----------------------------http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borax. <P> Borax, of the mule team variety, is sodium tetraborate or sodium borate (to get all official for a second) and NOT boric acid (hydrogen borate), which is a common misconception on the interwebs apparently. <P> These early uses echo in borax's (and ultimately, boron's) name: The word is from the Arabic buraq, or white. However, the element itself was not extracted until 1808, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry. Even then, chemists weren't able to get a pure form of boron. <P> The term “borax” is used to refer both to a mineral and to a refined compound with numerous applications. The mineral takes the form of colorless to white soft crystals, which can sometimes be tinged with brown, yellow, or green. When struck against another material, borax leaves a crumbly white streak. <P> Borax is an important mineral, and it is goes under the names sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or bisodium tetraborate. It's chemical formula will be written in basically on … e of two ways, depending on the water content. <P> Sodium Tetraborate (hereafter referred to as Borax) is a salt of boric acid but it is not chemically the same as boric acid. If you’ve read an article claiming borax is dangerous that goes on about the dangers of boric acid or says they are the same thing, I would not consider that article credible.

what is delta g
<P> ::Free energy, delta G and delta Go:: We now have some idea of how the rateof chemical reactions in the cell are speeded up so that they can occur in time frames consistent with cell growth. But what about this problem of DIRECTION, a problem the catalysts cannot address. In an energy diagram:Note that the Delta G is independent of the route between the starting reactants and the final products (say, 3 kcal/mole, for all 4 routes shown here). Free energy is that part of the energy change associated with a chemical reaction that can be harnessed to perform work. <P> Report Abuse. In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy, delta G (IUPAC recommended name: Gibbs energy or Gibbs function) is a thermodynamic potential that measures the useful or process-initiating work obtainable from an isothermal, isobaric thermodynamic system. if delta g is negative and large there is release of energy, that means work is done by the system.. if delta g is positive and large there is absorption of energy, that means work is done on the system :). Suyash · 11 months ago. Thumbs up. <P> The change in free energy of this reaction is:Delta G = Delta Go+ RTln(1), or Delta G = Delta Go+RT x 0,or delta G = delta Go (a special case when all participants are at 1M) So Delta Gois the free energy change that occurs when all participants in the chemical reaction are at unit concentration. In an energy diagram:Note that the Delta G is independent of the route between the starting reactants and the final products (say, 3 kcal/mole, for all 4 routes shown here). Free energy is that part of the energy change associated with a chemical reaction that can be harnessed to perform work. <P> Gibbs energy (also referred to as ∆G) is also the chemical potential that is minimized when a system reaches equilibrium at constant pressure and temperature. The Gibbs free energy (SI units kJ/mol) is the maximum amount of non-expansion work that can be extracted from a thermodynamically closed system (one that can exchange heat and work with its surroundings, but not matter); this maximum can be attained only in a completely reversible process. <P> 1 D G o (a delta G, with a superscript o), is the free energy change for a reaction, with everything in the standard states (gases at 1 bar, and solutions at 1 M concentration), and at a specific temperature (usually 25°C). 1 It is important to distinguish between them. 2 D G o (a delta G, with a superscript o), is the free energy change for a reaction, with everything in the standard states (gases at 1 bar, and solutions at 1 M concentration), and at a specific temperature (usually 25°C). 3 D G (just delta G). <P> Calculating an Equilibrium Constant from the Free Energy Change. If we know the standard state free energy change, G o, for a chemical process at some temperature T, we can calculate the equilibrium constant for the process at that temperature using the relationship between G o and K. Rearrangement gives. In this equation: 1 R = 8.314 J mol -1 K -1 or 0.008314 kJ mol -1 K -1. <P> G = H-T S. The change in the free energy of a system that occurs during a reaction can be measured under any set of conditions. If the data are collected under standard-state conditions, the result is the standard-state free energy of reaction (G o). When a reaction leaves the standard state because of a change in the ratio of the concentrations of the products to the reactants, we have to describe the system in terms of non-standard-state free energies of reaction. The difference between G o and G for a reaction is important. <P> The free energy change of a reaction (delta G) can tell us whether or not a reaction occurs spontaneously. Reactions that occur spontaneously have a negative delta G value, and such reactions are called exergonic. The delta G of a reaction is the free energy of the final state minus the free energy of the initial state, making it is independent of the reaction pathway. However, the value of delta G provides no information on the rate of a reaction. <P> To determine if a reaction is spontaneous, use this formula to find Delta G. Gibbs Free Energy is NEGATIVE for spontaneous reactions. You can also determine above which TEMPERATURE the reaction will be spontaneous. Check it out! Check me out: http://www.chemistnate.com. <P> The Delta G, or Thor-Delta G was an American expendable launch system used to launch two biological research satellites in 1966 and 1967. It was a member of the Delta family of rockets. The Delta G was a two-stage derivative of the Delta E. The first stage was a Thor missile in the DSV-2C configuration, and the second stage was a Delta E. Three Castor-1 solid rocket boosters were clustered around the first stage
The free energy change for a reaction, with everything in the standard states (gases at 1 bar, and solutions at 1 M concentration), and at a specific temperature (usually 25°C).

what does v mean in body type
<P> Male & Female Body Types. Your body type influences how you respond to diet and training. Understanding your body type; Ectomorph, Endomorph, or mesomorph can help you to strategically plan your strength training and diet regiment. Here are 3 Male & Female body types explained... <P> Hey there, Frame size (in your case medium) doesn’t determine body type, but is one of the characteristics of body type. For example, endomorphs and mesomorphs tend to have medium or large frames, while ectomorphs tend to have a small frame. <P> The body style of a vehicle refers to the shape and model of a particular automobile make, such as Ford, Chevrolet or Chrysler. Contemporary passenger-car body styles generally include two-door coupes, four-door sedans, hatchbacks, station wagons, sports cars, minivans, sport utility vehicles and convertibles. <P> Female body shape or female figure is the cumulative product of a woman's skeletal structure and the quantity and distribution of muscle and fat on the body. As with most physical traits, there is a wide range of normality of female body shapes. Attention has been focused on the female body as a source of aesthetic pleasure, sexual attraction, fertility, and reproduction in most human societies. There are, and have been, wide differences in what should be considered an ideal or preferred body shape, both for attractiveness and for health reasons. <P> Human body shape is a complex phenomenon with sophisticated detail and function. The general shape or figure of a person is defined mainly by the molding of skeletal structures, as well as the distribution of muscles and fat. Many terms or classifications are used to describe body shape types: 1 V shape: Males tend to have proportionally smaller buttocks, bigger chests and wider shoulders, wider latisimuss dorsi and a small waist which makes for a V-shape of the torso. <P> There are three basic human body types: the endomorph, characterized by a preponderance of body fat; the mesomorph, marked by a well-developed musculature; and the ectomorph, distinguished by a lack of much fat or muscle tissue. Before you start your training and nutrition regimen, it's a good idea to figure out your body type. Knowing which of the three basic body types you're closest to will help you better tailor your diet and exercise plan and set realistic, attainable goals that pave the way to your success. <P> People come in all shapes, but most can be placed into a particular category of body type, mesomorph, ectomorph, or endomorph. These body types have different characteristics, and you should tailor your workout to whichever you belong. Here's the skinny on the different types of bodies: A mesomorph (or meso, for short) can be defined in one word: muscular. If you're a meso, your body type is usually the envy of all gym rats because you can increase your muscle size quickly and easily. <P> In fact, most people have a combination of two body types. These combinations are either ectomorph/mesomorph or mesomorph/endomorph. It is not uncommon to find a pure mesomorph that gains weight like an endomorph for example. Given the information above you should be able to identify your body type. Understanding your body type; Ectomorph, Endomorph, or mesomorph can help you to strategically plan your strength training and diet regiment. Here are 3 Male & Female body types explained...

brain aneurysm definition
<P> A brain aneurysm (AN-yoo-riz-um) is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. It often looks like a berry hanging on a stem. A brain aneurysm can leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Most often a ruptured brain aneurysm occurs in the space between the brain and the thin tissues covering the brain. This type of hemorrhagic stroke is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. A ruptured aneurysm quickly becomes life-threatening and requires prompt medical treatment. <P> A cerebral aneurysm occurs at a weak point in the wall of a blood vessel (artery) that supplies blood to the brain. Because of the flaw, the artery wall bulges outward and fills with blood. This bulge is called an aneurysm. An aneurysm can rupture, spilling blood into the surrounding body tissue. Cerebral aneurysm is an outpouching of the wall of a cerebral artery that results from weakening of the wall of the vessel.

Functions on the distribution of the studentized range, R/s, where R is the range of a standard normal sample of size n and s^2 is independently distributed as chi-squared with df degrees of freedom. See R_pchisq. <P> Post-Hoc. Tukey's HSD test is a post-hoc test, meaning that it is performed after an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. This means that to maintain integrity, a statistician should not perform Tukey's HSD test unless she has first performed an ANOVA analysis <P> Studentized Range q Table. The following tables provide the critical value for q(k, df, α) for α = .10, .05 and .01 and values of k up to 20. Following these tables, we provide additional tables for α =.05, .025, .01, .005 and .001 and values of k up to 40, but with less granularity for higher values of df. <P> In statistics, the studentized range is the difference between the largest and smallest data in a sample measured in units of sample standard deviations. The studentized range, q, is named for William Sealy Gosset (who wrote under the pseudonym Student ), and was initially evoked by him (1927). The concept was later presented by a number of actual students, Newman (1939) and Keuls (1952) and John Tukey in some unpublished notes. <P> This feature is not available right now.

Tukey's test, also known as the Tukey range test, Tukey method, Tukey's honest significance test, Tukey's HSD (honest significant difference) test, or the Tukey–Kramer method, is a single-step multiple comparison procedure and statistical test. <P> Then the following random variable has a Studentized range distribution. This distribution is related to the t distribution and is very useful especially in follow up testing for ANOVA such as Tukey’s HSD (see Unplanned Comparisons). Tables of critical values for this distribution can be found in Studentized Range q Table. Real Statistics Functions: The following functions are supplied by the Real Statistics Resource Pack. QDIST (q, k, df) = value at q of the studentized range distribution with k independent variables and df degrees of freedom <P> The Studentized Maximum Modulus. This case relates the probability, prob, and the quantile, q, for the unequal case with finite degrees of freedom. The parameters are 1, ..., k, the value of nparms is set to k, and the value of df is set to. The Studentized Range. Note: The studentized range is not computed for finite degrees of freedom and unequal sample sizes. This case relates the probability, prob, and the quantile, q, for the equal case with finite degrees of freedom. No parameters are passed <P> This program calculates areas in the tails of the Studentized Range Distribution. First specify the value of the studentized range statistic (Q). Q is computed as follows: Some programs compute the value of the studentized t by including a 2 in the denominator.

normal amount of breaths per minute
<P> For children from the age of one to five years old, normal respiration is 20 to 30 breaths per minute, while children who are from six to twelve years old should have a normal respiratory rate that ranges from 12 to 20 breaths per minute. <P> - normal TV (tidal volume or air volume breathed in during a single breath): 500 ml; - normal Rf (respiratory frequency or respiratory rate): 12 breaths per minute; - inspiration: about 1.5-2 seconds; - normal exhalation is 1.5-2 seconds, followed by an automatic pause (no breathing for 1-2 seconds). <P> The respiration rate is the number of breaths a person takes per minute. The rate is usually measured when a person is at rest and simply involves counting the number of breaths for one minute by counting how many times the chest rises. <P> Once you have that number, you need to determine whether it's normal. The average in dogs is 24 breaths for minute, according to Vetinfo. However, the rate can vary depending on several factors. Typically, a normal respiratory rate can be anywhere between 10 and 30 per minute. <P> Most modern adults breathe much faster (about 15-20 breaths per minute) than their normal breathing frequency. The respiratory rates in the sick persons are usually higher, generally about 20 breaths/min or more. <P> The breathing rate, or the number of times that a person breathes in and out in 1 minute, is often checked by health care professionals to determine the health of a person. The normal breathing rate is between 12 and 18 breaths per minute. Many factors affect a person's breathing. You must learn to test for breaths per minute and spot the reasons or causes behind slow or fast breathing. This article will tell you how to check the breathing rate.
