what temperature do smelt spawn | <P> ► We examine the influence of temperature on spawning and larval population dynamics. ► Larval rainbow smelt cohorts hatch from both stream and lake habitats. ► Temperature mediated population growth rates differed significantly between years. <P> Rainbow smelt are an important prey species for native and introduced salmonines in the Great Lakes. In Lake Huron, rainbow smelt populations are characterized by variable recruitment and year-class strength. <P> Most spawning activity occurs at water temperatures around 10 C (50 F). Spawning can take place in streams or along shorelines. Rainbow smelt are found in streams and rivers only during their spawning migration. Females sized 185 to 224 mm (7.3 8.8 in) in length can release from 21,000 41,000 eggs each (Becker 1983). Eggs are negatively buoyant. <P> Temperature observations by the Massachusetts Commission show that the first smelt appear on the spawning beds in Weir River, a stream emptying into Boston Harbor, when the temperature of the water rises to about 40-42°. <P> Spawning: Smelt spawn in tributaries over gravel beds at night and return to the lake by morning. Spawning is related to spring thaw, water temperature and warming spring rains and usually lasts about three weeks. <P> To understand the influence of water temperature on reproduction, growth, and survival during larval-fish stages, we sampled spawning tributaries and larval-fish habitats during 2008 and 2009 in St. Martin Bay, Lake Huron. <P> 1 The number of eggs produced by a female per spawning season ranges from 33,400 eggs for a 6-1/2 inch fish to 75,600 for a 9-inch fish. 2 Smelt usually travel in schools less than 2 kilometers from shore and in water less than 6 meters deep. 3 Their travels are associated with seasonal changes in water temperatures. | Most spawning activity occurs at water temperatures around 10 C (50 F). |

why body temperature is low | <P> References. Hypothermia is a dangerously low body temperature. The average normal body temperature is around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, or 37 degrees Celsius. If your body temperature drops to just a few degrees lower than this, your blood vessels in your hands, feet, arms, and legs start to get narrower. <P> An abnormally low body temperature (hypothermia) can be serious, even life-threatening. Low body temperature may occur from cold exposure, shock, alcohol or drug use, or certain metabolic disorders, such as diabetes or hypothyroidism. A low body temperature may also be present with an infection, particularly in newborns, older adults, or people who are frail. <P> Low body temperature results when the body is unable to keep the body thermostat regulated within a safe range. Under normal circumstances, the body is able to generate and dissipate heat. The internal mechanisms can overcome most outside adversities of freezing cold or broiling heat. <P> Most people think of a normal body temperature as an oral temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) . This is an average of normal body temperatures. Your temperature may actually be 1°F (0.6°C) or more above or below 98.6°F (37°C) . Also, your normal body temperature changes by as much as 1°F (0.6°C) throughout the day, depending on how active you are and the time of day. Body temperature is very sensitive to hormone levels and may be higher or lower when a woman is ovulating or having her menstrual period. <P> An abnormally low body temperature (hypothermia) can be serious, even life-threatening.

pellagra is a condition associated with a deficiency of which vitamin quizlet | <P> Pathophysiology. Pellagra is the late stage of severe niacin deficiency. Niacin, or vitamin B-3, is a water-soluble vitamin. In 1926, Goldberger reported that nicotinamide was a preventive factor of pellagra. Pellagra can be divided into primary and secondary forms. Background. Pellagra is clinically manifested by the 4 D' s: photosensitive dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death. The full tetrad of symptoms is usually not well developed in infants and children. This vitamin deficiency responds to treatment with nicotinic acid. <P> Causes. Vitamin deficiency anemia occurs when your body doesn't have enough of the vitamins needed to produce adequate numbers of healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs throughout your body. If your diet is lacking in certain vitamins, vitamin deficiency anemia can develop. Causes of vitamin deficiency anemias, also known as megaloblastic anemias, include: Folate deficiency anemia. Folate, also known as vitamin B-9, is a nutrient found mainly in fruits and leafy green vegetables. A diet consistently lacking in these foods can lead to a deficiency. <P> Pellagra is a disease that affects your digestive system, skin, and nerves, resulting in dermatitis, diarrhea, and mental disorders. The most common cause of pellagra is not having enough niacin (primary pellagra). Other causes of pellagra are associated with digestive disorders that reduce the absorption of niacin in your body. Niacin is also known as nicotinic acid, or vitamin B3. In the United States, individuals most at risk for developing pellagra are alcoholics, as a result of malnutrition. <P> Background. Pellagra is a systemic nutritional wasting disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin B3 (niacin), which is an essential component of several coenzymes. Besides ingestion, niacin can be endogenously synthesized from its natural precursor, the amino acid tryptophan, a process that requires 2 other B vitamins, B2 and B6 <P> Pellagra is defined by the systemic disease resulting from niacin deficiency, and it is characterized by diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, and death, which usually appear in this order. GI tract symptoms always precede dermatitis, or, according to Rille, Pellagra begins in the stomach. Background. Pellagra is clinically manifested by the 4 D' s: photosensitive dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death. The full tetrad of symptoms is usually not well developed in infants and children. This vitamin deficiency responds to treatment with nicotinic acid. <P> 0. 0. Pellagra results from the deficiency of niacin (vitamin B3). It was first described by Don Casal, a Spanish court physician in the 1700s, where thickened skin was noted in peasants. However, it was not until the 1900s that the cause and treatment of pellagra was determined. Niacin can be derived from: <P> Cook the grits for 50 minutes if the grits were soaked overnight or else 90 minutes if not.. Pellagra is a vitamin deficiency disease most frequently caused by a chronic lack of niacin (vitamin B 3 or synonym: vitamin PP (from: Pellagra Preventing factor)) in the diet. If untreated, pellagra can kill within four or five years. Treatment is with nicotinamide, which has the same vitamin function as niacin and a similar chemical structure, but has lower toxicity. The frequency and amount of nicotinamide administered depends on the degree to which the condition has progressed. <P> The disease was pellagra, a word with Italian roots, meaning sour or rough skin, a reference to the dermatitis that is one of the hallmarks of the disease. Pellagra, we know today, is a nutritional deficiency disease, caused by diets poor in niacin (or its equivalent, nicotinamide). Niacin was the third of the B complex vitamins to be identified and so was given the designation “vitamin B 3 ”. Niacin is critically important for essentially every cell in our bodies. <P> Niacin deficiency is a condition that occurs when a person doesn't get enough or can't absorb niacin or tryptophan. Also known as vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid, niacin is one of eight B vitamins. | Vitamin B3 (niacin) |
how long is radiation therapy school | <P> The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) maintains a database of accredited radiation therapy programs. In 2009, radiation therapists were required to be licensed in 33 states, reported the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov). <P> The tuition costs for radiation therapy schools vary depending on the program, institution, and student (financial aid, school year, on campus, etc.). However, average tuition costs are estimated to range between $9,700 and $12,000 per semester. <P> Education and Training. Radiation therapist programs can range from 1-to-2 years. One-year programs result in a certificate or diploma, while students in 2-year programs will earn associate's degrees. One-year programs emphasize supervised clinical education in training facilities like hospitals. <P> Salaries for Radiation Therapists: The median salary for radiation therapists is $66,170, according to the BLS. Those who work in outpatient care centers often earn higher, averaging around $73,000 annually. Hospital-employed radiation therapists earn less, averaging about $63,500 per year. <P> Colleges tend to reserve two years for courses in the radiation therapy major, but individuals who have graduated from a radiography program may seek a twelve month program to become qualified or certified as a radiation therapist or related position. <P> Radiation therapists administer radiation therapy to patients under the instruction of oncologists and radiologists, and locate tumors, measure the amount of radiation given and update treatment reports. Most importantly, you'll follow regulations to protect both patients and practitioners from high doses of radiation. | 1-to-2 years. |

The most frequently occurring value of a data set is called the | <P> Another commonly used measure of central tendency in specific cases is the mode. The mode is simply the most commonly occurring value. For example, in a class of 50 students graded on a scale of 1-5, the distribution may be as shown in the figure. The mode of this data is 4. Different types of data need different measures of central tendency to describe the distribution of data <P> The mode is simply the most frequently occurring value. For our data set, 2 is the mode because it occurs the most frequently. If two values occur the most often, the distribution is said to be bi-modal. If more than two values occur the most often, the distribution is said to be multi-modal. <P> Median which is the middle number of a group of numbers; that is, half the numbers have values that are greater than the median, and half the numbers have values that are less than the median.

Realize that the mode is the number or numbers that occur more often than the rest. That means in the set 2,3,4,5,6,6,7,8 that 6 is the mode because it occurs most often. In the set 2,3,3,4,5,6,6,7,8 that 3 AND 6 are the modes because they occur more often than the other numbers but since they occur equally, then both 3 and 6 are modes. <P> Mode. The mode is the most frequently occurring value in the data set. For example, in the data set {1,2,3,4,4}, the mode is equal to 4. A data set can have more than a single mode, in which case it is multimodal. In the data set {1,1,2,3,3} there are two modes: 1 and 3. In this case, the median may better represent the typical salary level of the group. Mode The mode is the most frequently occurring value in the data set.

behind the voice actors a pup named scooby doo | <P> A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is the eighth incarnation of the Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon Scooby-Doo. <P> A Pup Named Scooby Doo, though a lot of fans seem to revile it, is more successful than the original, in my opinion. Because of the liberal changes made to the formula, this functions more as an affectionate spoof of Scooby Doo than a continuation of it. <P> Scooby-Doo, Where are You? made its CBS network debut on Saturday, September 13, 1969 with its first episode, What a Night for a Knight. The original voice cast featured Don Messick as Scooby-Doo, Casey Kasem as Shaggy, Frank Welker as Fred, Nicole Jaffe as Velma, and Stefanianna Christopherson as Daphne. <P> A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was an irreverent, zany re-imagining of the series, heavily inspired by the classic cartoons of Tex Avery and Bob Clampett, and eschewed the quasi-reality of the original Scooby series for a more Looney Tunes-like style. The retooled show was a success, and lasted until 1991. <P> Nicole Jaffe was the original voice of Velma, and portrayed the character in both Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969-72) and The New Scooby-Doo Movies (1972-74). Jaffe married and retired from acting in 1974, and when Scooby-Doo resumed production in 1976, Patricia Stevens was brought in as Jaffe's replacement. <P> In the two live-action Scooby Doo movies, he is played by Matthew Lillard. In the Scooby Doo TV series, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue! , Scott Menville voices the role, and Shaggy is no longer a vegetarian and his excessive eating habits have returned. <P> Frumkin voiced the character in four more episodes of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo before Velma was dropped from the series. Velma later returned as a semi regular character in four episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries, with Frumkin again voicing the character. Christina Lange voiced preadolescent Velma in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo from 1988 to 1991, and B.J. Ward voiced the character in several direct-to-video films from 1997 until 2002. <P> Listen to all the actors who have voiced the following A Pup Named Scooby-Doo characters. | Don Messick |

where does moonstone come from | <P> Moonstone. T he ancient Romans theorized that moonstone, with its unearthly shimmer, was formed from frozen moonlight. This appealing gem variety does shine with a cool lunar light but it is the mineral feldspar, quite terrestrial in origin. Another related feldspar variety is known as rainbow moonstone. In this variety of labradorite feldspar, the sheen is a variety of rainbow hues, from pink to yellow, to peach, purple, and blue. Sometimes one gem will show all these colors. Fine moonstone is quite rare and becoming rarer. <P> Certain types of Moonstones come from certain regions. For instance, blue Moonstone is mostly found in Sri Lanka and India, other colors can be found in Mexico, Brazil and the United States. While Feldspar is found all over the world, moonstone does come from specific regions. For instance, the most valuable types of Moonstone which are blue can be found in Sri Lanka. Other colored moonstones come from areas such as Tanzania, Brazil, Germany, Myanmar, Mexico and certain regions in <P> While the stone that Moonstone comes from is located throughout the world, the most likely sources of Moonstone are Sri Lanka, India, Tanzania, Brazil, Germany, Mexico and the United States. When purchasing Moonstone the most important attributes to consider are the color and the shimmering effect that it gives off. Moonstone can come in many different colors and one of the more popular and aesthetically pleasing colors is blue. Moonstone also comes in shades of brown, yellow, orange and in a colored or rainbow variety. What makes Moonstone very appealing is the fact that it includes an attribute called adularecence. <P> Color of Rainbow Moonstone : Within the United States, moonstone is found in Pennsylvania and Virginia. Moonstone can also be found in Brazil, the European Alps, India, Madagascar, Mexico, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania, with the highest quality moonstones being found in Sri Lanka. <P> Cambria Moonstones. Moonstone Gems are a different mineral than the stones found on Cambria's beaches. Most of them come from the India and Sri Lanka area and are found in a variety of colors such as white, blue flash and rainbow. In Cambria we have a beautiful white translucent stone on our beaches. Moonstones-Stones of the Moon-Goddess Power. The name moonstone was coined by the ancient Greeks to describe gemstones that displayed the moon's ethereal silvery light. They valued the moonstone as a talisman for lovers. To wear it was thought to arouse the most tender of passions and true love <P> The shimmer, which is called schiller or adularescence, is caused by the intergrowth of two different types of feldspar, with different refractive indexes. Moonstones come in a variety of colors. The body color can range from colorless to gray, brown, yellow, green, or pink. The clarity ranges from transparent to translucent. The best moonstone has a blue sheen, perfect clarity, and a colorless body color. Another related feldspar variety is known as rainbow moonstone. In this variety of labradorite feldspar, the sheen is a variety of rainbow hues, from pink to yellow, to peach, purple, and blue. Sometimes one gem will show all these colors. Fine moonstone is quite rare and becoming rarer. <P> Forming a Moonstone. Moonstone is from a variety of albite feldspar known as adularia. When it forms with potassium at low temperatures, it crystallizes and causes a pearly, iridescent effect. The characteristic shimmer is called adularescence. It is created by layers of inclusions of different types of feldspar. Where Moonstones Are Found. The largest deposits of moonstones are found in the countries of Brazil, India, Germany, Madagascar, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and the United States. In the United States, the stones are mostly found in New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Virginia. <P> Moonstones from Sri Lanka, the classical country of origin of the moonstone, shimmer in pale blue on an almost transparent background. Specimens from India feature a nebulous interplay of light and shadow on a background of beige-brown, green, orange or brown. The moonstone is actually the feldspar variety known as 'adularia', a potassium aluminosilicate of gemstone quality, which is also found in the European Alps near the Adula Group – hence the name 'adularia'. | It comes from is located throughout the world, the most likely sources of Moonstone are Sri Lanka, India, Tanzania, Brazil, Germany, Mexico and the United States. |

In winter they hunt along the Arctic shelfs looking for tasty seals, fish, and even humans! <P> Where polar bears DO live: Polar bears range throughout the circumpolar extreme northern hemisphere in the Arctic regions where they can hunt their prey (seals) at open leads. The five polar bear nations, in which the bears are found, include the U.S. (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), and Norway. They can only be found in these specified Arctic regions in the very far north of the northern hemisphere. <P> Polar bears are found across the Arctic. They are most abundant in areas with annual sea ice and productive ringed seal populations. There are five nations with polar bears: U.S. (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Greenland (Kingdom of Denmark), and Norway (Svalbard). Polar bears do not live in Antarctica. While short by our standards, polar bears are considered long-lived animals. In the wild, polar bears live an average 15 to 18 years, although biologists have tagged a few bears in their early 30s. In captivity, some long-lived bears reach their mid-to late 30s. <P> Polar bears are the largest bear species. They can grow to 8-11 feet tall and about 8 feet long, and weigh about 500-1,700 pounds. They are easily-recognized due to their white coat and dark eyes and nose. Answer: There are 19 different populations of polar bears, and all live in the Arctic region. This is the area that is north of the Arctic Circle, which lies at 66 degrees, 32 minutes North latitude. <P> Polar bears are exclusively found in five countries. These are Canada (in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago), Greenland, Norway, Russia (in Siberia) and the United States (in Alaska only). So now you know where polar bears live. Where do Polar Bears Live. Polar bears live in and around the Artic Ocean. Polar bears spend their time on ice, on land and in the water. Polar bears are often found around the perimeter of the ice where there are cracks in the ice that seals can breathe through. They then swoop down and eat the seals. <P> Details... © Daniel J. Cox/Natural Exposures. Polar bears live in the circumpolar north in areas where they can hunt their primary prey, ice seals. They are found in Canada (home to roughly 60% of the world's polar bears), the U.S. (Alaska), Greenland, Russia, and Norway (the Svalbard archipelago). The polar bear Range States have identified 19 populations of polar bears living in four different sea ice regions across the Arctic. Although popular art and children's books often show polar bears and penguins together, the two live at opposite poles. Polar bears live in the Arctic, a massive frozen sea surrounded by continents. Penguins live in Antarctica, an ice-covered continent surrounded by oceans. 1 Learn about the polar bear's home range. <P> Polar bears live in the Arctic region, but not specifically at the North Pole. The largest populations of polar bears are in western Canada in the Northwest and Yukon Territor … ies and in northern Alaska. Most polar bears live in North America. The five polar bear nations, in which the bears are found, include the U.S. (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), and Norway. They can only be found in these specified Arctic regions in the very far north of the northern hemisphere. <P> Polar bears live throughout the Arctic in areas where they can hunt seals in wide cracks in the sea ice or at breathing holes. The taxonomic name for polar bears is Ursus maritimus, which means sea bear, a fitting name for these champion swimmers. Today, our polar bears live in a wonderful tundra habitat complex: the Conrad Prebys Polar Bear Plunge. The focal point of the Plunge is, naturally, the pool. From the underwater viewing room, you can see how agile and playful these Arctic bruins really are. | Circumpolar north in areas where they can hunt their primary prey, ice seals.

does the quadriceps femoris group flex or extend the leg | <P> Full Muscles of the Leg and Foot Description. [Continued from above] . . . The anterior muscles, such as the quadriceps femoris, iliopsoas, and sartorius, work as a group to flex the thigh at the hip and extend the leg at the knee. Posterior muscles, such as the hamstrings and gluteus maximus, produce the opposite motion – extension of the thigh at the hip and flexion of the leg at the knee <P> Quadriceps Specifics. As the name implies, the quadriceps muscle group consists of four muscles. Three -- the vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius and vastus medialis -- originate at the thigh bone, or femur. The fourth quadriceps muscle, the rectus femoris, originates at the front of the pelvis, just above the hip joint. <P> Full Muscles of the Knee Description. [Continued from above] . . . Contraction of the quadriceps group extends the leg at the knee and flexes the thigh at the hip. The hamstring muscle group extends across the posterior surface of the thigh from the ischium of the pelvis to the tibia of the lower leg. Click to read more below. The muscles of the knee include the quadriceps, hamstrings, and the muscles of the calf. These muscles work in groups to flex, extend and stabilize the knee joint. These motions of the knee allow the body to perform such important movements as walking, running, kicking, and jumping. <P> In addition, the sartorius muscle in the anterior thigh helps to flex the leg. The quadriceps femoris, or quads, include four muscles in the anterior compartment that serve to extend the knee. The quads are made up of the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and finally the vastus intermedius. In summary, most muscles in the anterior compartment of the thigh extend the leg, while muscles in the posterior compartment of the thigh flex the leg. The hamstrings are leg flexors, and include three muscles located in the posterior compartment. <P> The quads, or quadriceps femoris, are a group of four muscles responsible for extension of the leg at the knee. These muscles are located in the anterior compartment of the thigh, and their deep to the sartorius, which we just talked about. In summary, most muscles in the anterior compartment of the thigh extend the leg, while muscles in the posterior compartment of the thigh flex the leg. The hamstrings are leg flexors, and include three muscles located in the posterior compartment. <P> Muscles of the Knee. The muscles of the knee include the quadriceps, hamstrings, and the muscles of the calf. These muscles work in groups to flex, extend and stabilize the knee joint. These motions of the knee allow the body to perform such important movements as walking, running, kicking, and jumping. Click to read more below.

A large muscle on the anterior surface of the thigh composed of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius muscles. These muscles are inserted by a common tendon on the tuberosity of the tibia. The quadriceps femoris is an extensor of the leg. Etymology: L, quattuor, four, caput, head, femur, thigh. the large extensor muscle of the anterior thigh, composed of the rectus femoris, the vastus lateralis, the vastus medialis, and the vastus intermedius. The quadriceps forms a large dense mass covering the front and sides of the femur. <P> Not to be confused with quadratus femoris. The quadriceps femoris (/ˈkwɒdrɨsɛps ˈfɛmərɨs/) (Latin for four-headed muscle of the femur ), also called simply the quadriceps, quadriceps extensor, or quads, is a large muscle group that includes the four prevailing muscles on the front of the thigh. Because rectus femoris attaches to the ilium, it is also a flexor of the hip. This action is also crucial to walking or running as it swings the leg forward into the ensuing step. The quadriceps, specifically the vastus medialis, play the important role of stabilizing the patella and the knee joint during gait. <P> The Muscles of the Quadricep Group. The quadriceps are made up of four muscles originating from various points on the femur (the vastus intermedius, vastus medialis and vastus lateralis) and the hip (the rectus femoris). The squat is one of the best exercises for developing hip and knee musculature. The quadriceps work together with the hamstrings to extend and flex the knee during the movement. | A group to flex the thigh at the hip and extend the leg at the knee |

In engineering activities inspection involves the measurements, tests, and gauges applied to certain characteristics in regard to an object or activity. A surprise inspection, therefore, gives inspectors a better picture of the typical state of the inspected object or process than an announced inspection. It also enhances external confidence in the inspection process. <P> Definition. Critical appraisal involving examination, measurement, testing, gauging, and comparison of materials or items. An inspection determines if the material or item is in proper quantity and condition, and if it conforms to the applicable or specified requirements. Inspection is generally divided into three categories: (1) Receiving inspection, (2) In-process inspection, and (3) Final inspection. In quality control (which is guided by the principle that Quality cannot be inspected into a product) the role of inspection is to verify and validate the variance data; it does not involve separating the good from the bad. <P> Inspections may be a visual inspection or involve sensing technologies such as ultrasonic testing, accomplished with a direct physical presence or remotely such as a remote visual inspection, and manually or automatically such as an automated optical inspection.

what is curing mean in textile | <P> The curing of the material changed it from its initial state to the final state that we needed to complete the project. BusinessDictionary.com. Process during which a chemical reaction (such as polymerization) or physical action (such as evaporation) takes place, resulting in a harder, tougher, or more stable linkage (such as an adhesive bond) or substance (such as concrete). <P> The evaporation of the water is necessary to set or cure the ink. This curing can take place either at room temperature or with the assist of a dryer depending upon the specific water-based ink used and the speed or volume of production. Plastisol ink is a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) based system that essentially contains no solvent at all. However, for the most part, they are used in very different applications. Plastisol is the ink of choice for printing of finished goods such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, and tote bags. Water-based ink is the ink of choice for the printing of yard goods; either in piece form or on the roll. <P> “Pre-curing” means all the treatment of the fabric are to be completed before the fabric is supplied to the garment manufacturer for production. If your garment t factory does not have the oven baking equipment to bake the cut piece of the garment, you should order pre-cure fabric from the fabric mill. This fabric when received by you is already treated with resin and baked for the permanent press effect. <P> It's no wonder. By making it possible to cure plastisol ink while the garment is still on the press, flash-cure technology has played a key role in the advancement of nylon, dark-garment, multicolor, and many other types of textile screen printing. Size. Size is another consideration. Manual flash-cure units range in size from about 16 by 16 to 18 by 24 inches, and automatic units from about 18 by 20 inches to 24 by 36 or more inches, depending on the print size of the press. <P> The temperature at which most plastisol for textile printing cures at is in the range of 149 °C to 166 °C (300 °F to 330 °F). Both types of ink are very popular. However, for the most part, they are used in very different applications.

Curing concrete properly will prevent early cracking, and promote a long life for the product due to the chemical bonds during the process. BusinessDictionary.com. Process during which a chemical reaction (such as polymerization) or physical action (such as evaporation) takes place, resulting in a harder, tougher, or more stable linkage (such as an adhesive bond) or substance (such as concrete). <P> This allows the ink to cure quicker for faster printing. Flash Curing. Plastisol can generally be fully cured with a flash cure unit if the heater is set to the highest temperature and the unit is placed 2-3 inches (5-7.6 cm) over the garment for 20-30 seconds. For curing between colors where only a partial cure is required, the time can be less. To control dye migration use the following procedures: 1 Print with high-opacity, low-bleed inks. 2 Use no more heat than necessary to cure the ink. 3 Print and flash-cure a low-bleed white underbase, then print the desired color over that. 4 Avoid the problem by printing on 100% cotton fabrics. <P> Curing is a term in polymer chemistry and process engineering that refers to the toughening or hardening of a polymer material by cross-linking of polymer chains, brought about by electron beams, heat or chemical additives.

why did the founding fathers include the 3th amendment | <P> The Second Amendment is part of the first ten Amendments, also known as the Bill of Rights. These amendments were a check on the “Federal Government” and not the States. These Amendments were introduced to calm the fears of many of the States that the new Constitution would trample on “States Rights”. On the contrary, it was a right that government must guarantee. Another thing this phrase—THE right to keep and bear arms—implies is that the Founders knew the scope of the right. In other words, they understood what it did and didn’t include. <P> 3rd Amendment to the Constitution. No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. The Third Amendment is part of the U.S. Bill of rights, which was introduced on September 5, 1789. Three quarters of the States ratified this amendment alongside nine others on December 15, 1791. It forbids, in wartime or peacetime, quartering of soldiers in private homes without permission from owners. This means that American citizens are protected from forceful feeding and accommodating of government troops <P> The 9th Amendment to the Constitution reads like this: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.. Purpose of the 9th Amendment The 9th Amendment's purpose is clear. 9th Amendment Clauses The first part of the 9th Amendment is called The Enumeration of Rights Clause.. It states that there are certain rights of the people, which are specifically listed, in the Constitution. The second part of the 9th Amendment is called The Rights Retained by the People Clause.. <P> NINTH AMENDMENT The 9th Amendment to the US Constitution is one of the least referred to amendments in decisions of the Supreme Court. It is also one of the most confusing, controversial and misunderstood amendments to the Constitution. This amendment reserves all rights not listed in the Constitution to the people. 9th Amendment Clauses The first part of the 9th Amendment is called The Enumeration of Rights Clause.. It states that there are certain rights of the people, which are specifically listed, in the Constitution. The second part of the 9th Amendment is called The Rights Retained by the People Clause.. <P> Confidence votes 13. The Founding Fathers had experienced the policy (Quartering Act of 1765) of the British monarchy stipulating that colonists provide temporary housing and other necessities to British soldiers stationed in the American colonies. During the American Founding Period, the Founders chose the Ten Amendments as the 'Bill of Rights' for several reasons. Taken individually, each amendment represented for … the Founders a distinctly important piece of socio-political truth that merited special attention -- and legislation. <P> Because they believed that an armed populace, organized into a well regulated militia, was a good way to defend the country without a large professional army and that it would give the people the ability to defend their liberties if the government ever became tyrannical. When the Second Amendment is read, as it should be read, in conjunction with the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of The United States. The meaning of the word 'Militia' intended by the founders of the United States is clear and unambiguous. <P> The First Amendment was actually not important to the Founding Fathers. It was important to the states. The founders could not get ratification without creating a bill of … rights. When the Second Amendment is read, as it should be read, in conjunction with the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of The United States. The meaning of the word 'Militia' intended by the founders of the United States is clear and unambiguous. <P> The Second Amendment allowed for state militias on the cheep, by using citizens arms. It also was a counter balance to the power of the federal government. But the Second Amendment has been an anachronism for over 150 years.

what is overactive thyroid | <P> Hyperthyroidism, also known as over active thyroid and hyperthyreosis, is the condition that occurs due to excessive production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. Thyrotoxicosis is the condition that occurs due to excessive thyroid hormone of any cause and therefore includes hyperthyroidism. <P> About Hyperthyroidism. The thyroid gland is a part of the body's endocrine (hormone) system — which is made up of the glands that help regulate many of the body's different functions. An overactive thyroid produces too much of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, which causes some of these functions to speed up. Hyperthyroidism is the medical term for an overactive thyroid gland. Too little thyroxine reverses the process and slows down the body's functions. This can be caused by an underactive thyroid, a condition also referred to as hypothyroidism. <P> Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which an overactive thyroid gland is producing an excessive amount of thyroid hormones that circulate in the blood. (Hyper means over in Greek). Thyrotoxicosis is a toxic condition that is caused by an excess of thyroid hormones from any cause. 1 Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which there is an excessive amount of thyroid hormones. 2 Thyroid hormones regulate the metabolism of the cells. 3 Normally, the rate of thyroid hormone production is controlled by the brain at the pituitary gland. <P> Knowledge center. Hyperthyroidism, also known as overactive thyroid, is a medical condition caused by an abnormally high level of thyroid hormone in the bloodstream. The thyroid gland produces an excessive amount of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland is located in the neck. Graves' disease. It is the most common cause. Graves' disease is an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly targets the thyroid gland and causes it to produce too much thyroid hormone. <P> Definition. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body's metabolism significantly, causing sudden weight loss, a rapid or irregular heartbeat, sweating, and nervousness or irritability. <P> In this article. Hyperthyroidism is a disorder in which your thyroid gland makes and releases more thyroid hormone than your body needs.

what is a gamut | <P> Color gamut. The term color gamut is used in connection with color in absolute terms and the reference for absolute color is the human vision color space. Human vision colors can be defined with a color model which consists of one achromatic component and two chromatic components. <P> Definition: The phrase out of gamut refers to a range of colors that cannot be reproduced within the CMYK color space used for commercial printing. Graphics software is designed to work with images in the RGB color space throughout the editing process. <P> The term colour gamut refers to the range of colours a device can reproduce, the larger or wider the gamut the more rich saturated colours available. As colour gamuts become smaller it is generally these rich saturated colours that are the first to suffer, a phenomena technically referred to as clipping. <P> The phrase out of gamut refers to a range of colors that cannot be reproduced within the CMYK color space used for commercial printing. Graphics software is designed to work with images in the RGB color space throughout the editing process. <P> For example, while pure red can be expressed in the RGB color space, it cannot be expressed in the CMYK color space; pure red is out of gamut in the CMYK color space. A device that is able to reproduce the entire visible color space is an unrealized goal within the engineering of color displays and printing processes. <P> Synonym Discussion of GAMUT. range, gamut, compass, sweep, scope, orbit mean the extent that lies within the powers of something (as to cover or control). <P> In the 1850s, the term was applied to a range of colors or hue, for example by Thomas De Quincey, who wrote Porphyry, I have heard, runs through as large a gamut of hues as marble.. In color theory, the gamut of a device or process is that portion of the color space that can be represented, or reproduced. <P> Color gamut refers to the various levels of colors that can potentially be displayed by a device. There are actually two types of color gamuts, additive and subtractive. Additive refers to color that is generate by mixing together colored light to generate a final color. | Refers to a range of colors that cannot be reproduced within the CMYK color space used for commercial printing. |
what benefits do lipids stored in fat cells provide | <P> miarodrigo. Lipid stored in fat cells (adipose tissue) provides many benefits including protection of organs and insulation for maintaining body temperature. <P> Lipids also play a role in the formation of your cell membranes. Deposits of fat in your body help support and protect vital organs including your heart, kidneys, liver and spleen. Lipids also provide insulation to prevent major temperature fluctuations as well. <P> Excess lipid storage in your body will increase your weight and may cause health problems. Lipids such as cholesterol, cholesteryl esters and triglycerides are stored in your body primarily in specialized fat cells called adipocytes, which comprise a specialized fatty tissue called adipose tissue. Stored lipids can be derived from the lipids in your diet or from lipids that your body synthesizes. Adipocytes have an almost unlimited capacity to store lipids in cell organelles called lipid droplets, which can grow to a very large size. <P> Lipid Droplets. Lipid droplets are high-capacity organelles where lipids are stored within adipocytes, as well as in other cell types in your body. The lipid droplets are composed of a central core of triglycerides and cholesteryl esters with a surface coating of cholesterol, phospholipid and protein. <P> Although many people use the terms fat and lipid interchangeably, a fat is a lipid but a lipid is not necessarily a fat. Your body uses lipids as a source of energy, to produce hormones, to absorb fat-soluble vitamins and to provide structure to cell membranes, and stores these lipids in a variety of ways. <P> Cholesterol is a type of lipid (fat). Lipids are substances that do not dissolve in water but are soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform or dry cleaning fluids. Other important types of lipid include triglycerides and fatty acids. | Deposits of fat in your body help support and protect vital organs including your heart, kidneys, liver and spleen. Lipids also provide insulation to prevent major temperature fluctuations |
what is nuclear energy made of | <P> Nuclear energy has the advantage of not burning any fuel so there are no pollutants released into the air. Nuclear energy is energy that is stored in the nucleus or center core of an atom. The nucleus of an atom is made of tiny particles of protons (+ positive charge) and neutrons (no charge). The electrons (- negative charge) move around the nucleus. Nuclear energy is the force that holds the nucleus together in an atom. <P> Nuclear fuel consists of two types of uranium, U-238 and U-235. Most of the uranium in nuclear fuel is U-238, but U-235 splits—or fissions—easily. In U-235 atoms, the nucleus, which is composed of protons and neutrons, is unstable. As the nuclei break up, they release neutrons. <P> Currently, approximately 17% of electricity worldwide is produced by nuclear power plants, but in some countries, like France, over 75% of their electricity is produced by nuclear power (How Stuff Works). The United States, on the other hand, only produces about 15% of the electricity from nuclear power. <P> Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. The term includes nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion. <P> The common definition for nuclear energy is the energy released by a nuclear reaction, especially by fission or fusion. Practically speaking, nuclear energy uses fuel made from mined and processed uranium to make steam and generate electricity. | Nuclear energy is energy that is stored in the nucleus or center core of an atom. The nucleus of an atom is made of tiny particles of protons (+ positive charge) and neutrons (no charge). The electrons (- negative charge) move around the nucleus. |

what is phytotherapy | <P> They select mainly effectual herbs from the top quality resources. In other words, Phytotherapy is the use of plants, either in whole food form or in the form of consistent extracts and supplements, for therapeutic uses. The foundation for phytotherapy is the ancient system of medicine. All ancient culture used plants as their primary source of medicine, and the majority of the societies in the world still depend on them in the present day. <P> Program Overview. The Diploma of Phytotherapy is a 3-year (6-semester) program that explores the medicinal uses of North American and European herbs. Students study both traditional knowledge of herbal medicine – that which is passed down through various world traditions over the ages – and modern day, scientific-based knowledge. Graduates of the Diploma of Phytotherapy are eligible for membership into the Canadian Herbalist’s Association of BC (CHA of BC), the American Herbalists Guild (AHG), the Ontario Herbalist Association (OHA), and the Modern and Traditional Herbalists Guild of BC. Please see Post-Graduation below for more information. <P> Noun. 1. phytotherapy-the use of plants or plant extracts for medicinal purposes (especially plants that are not part of the normal diet). botanical medicine, herbal therapy. plant life, flora, plant - (botany) a living organism lacking the power of locomotion. <P> Phytotherapy (phyto = Greek for plant) is advanced herbal medicine for the 21st century. Herbal medicine has been used and trusted globally for thousands of years as a highly effective and safe method of treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. <P> Practitioners can use phytotherapy in alternative medicine, in which plant products provide the focal point of a course of medical treatment, and also in complementary medicine, which blends more conventional medical practice with the use of methods which are viewed as alternative. When phytotherapy is conducted responsibly, the preparations used are standardized, which means that they are grown, harvested, and processed in a way which is designed to create a very reliable and stable dose of active ingredients. <P> Phytotherapy is the study of the use of extracts of natural origin as medicines or health-promoting agents. Phytotherapy medicines differ from plant-derived medicines in standard pharmacology. Where standard pharmacology isolates an active compound from a given plant, phytotherapy aims to preserve the complexity of substances from a given plant with relatively less processing. Phytotherapy is distinct from homeopathy and anthroposophic medicine, and avoids mixing plant and synthetic bioactive substances. Traditional phytotherapy is a synonym for herbalism and regarded as alternative medicine by much of Western medicine <P> You won't believe these 10 facts about people. Phytotherapy is a form of medical treatment which relies on the use of plants, either whole or in the form of prepared extracts and essences.

When you look at the labels on various dog foods, some are high protein, while others are lower protein. Some say they have 30 percent protein, some 26 percent, 22 percent or 18 percent. How much protein does your dog really need? Protein is a nutrient that provides four calories of energy per gram. <P> Protein. An adult dog's diet should be a minimum of 18 percent protein; but at least 22 percent of a puppy's diet should be protein. Protein is a vital source for 10 essential amino acids Buddy requires for good health and proper growth. Amino acids are the foundation of a puppy's tissues, organs, hormones and antibodies. <P> The protein in dog foods can be supplied by animal sources, plant sources, or a combination of the two. Common animal-based protein sources used in pet food include chicken, lamb, fish meal, and beef. Common plant-based protein sources used in your pet's food include corn-gluten meal and soybean meal.

what can pushbullet do | <P> It’s pretty clear that seeing your Android notifications on PC with Pushbullet is awesome. We aren’t stopping there, however, because we’ve found a way to make it even better—you can now use the Android notification buttons right from your computer too! I think this is super-power level convenient. <P> One of the neatest features of Pushbullet on Android is that it can mirror your notifications on your desktop. You can do this en masse or on a per app basis. The app accomplishes this by using the notification listening service (which is why it doesn't work on iOS, unfortunately). From any of these apps or extensions, you can send something to any of the others. Here are the basics that have been around in Pushbullet for a while: 1 Send links between devices: From your desktop, using the Chrome or Firefox extension, you can send a link to your phone or tablet with the click of a button. <P> Pushbullet (free) is an iPhone app and Web browser extension that fills in the cracks. It lets you quickly push links, addresses plotted in Google Maps, images, and other information to from one device to another in just a matter of taps or clicks. It's a great app that does one or two things well, but it won't replace your other syncing services, like Dropbox or Box. Pushing Bullets The Pushbullet iPhone app requires an account, but the service doesn't allow email and password combos. You can only sign up by authorizing a Google or Facebook account. <P> Pushbullet, the service that acts as a bridge between your mobile and desktop OSes, sets the gold standard for developer updates. If you haven't used it recently (or ever), this is a great time to check out all the cool stuff it can do. From any of these apps or extensions, you can send something to any of the others. Here are the basics that have been around in Pushbullet for a while: 1 Send links between devices: From your desktop, using the Chrome or Firefox extension, you can send a link to your phone or tablet with the click of a button. <P> Set Up PushBullet. Install the PushBullet app for Android from Google Play. Launch the PushBullet app and sign in with your Google account. You can use any Google account — you just have to sign into PushBullet with the same Google account in on each device. Follow the instructions on your screen to enable notification sharing and activate the notification mirroring service on Android’s settings screen. Apps that allow you to send SMS messages from your PC work well alongside PushBullet. MIghtyText is probably the most polished option. When you see an SMS notification from PushBullet, you can continue the conversation from MightyText in your web browser instead of pecking or swiping at your phone’s touch keyboard. <P> Tweet. Seeing incoming text messages on your computer because of Pushbullet’s notification mirroring feature is awesome. With yesterday’s update, we’ve made this even better because you can now reply from PC too! You can now quickly reply to a text from your computer by just clicking on the notification on your PC <P> It was great at doing that one task, but it couldn’t do much more. Google eventually abandoned the app for Chrome tab syncing, which opened the door for an app called Pushbullet. Pushbullet is Chrome to Phone on steroids. It can be installed on Android, iOS, Chrome, and Firefox. Every device you install it on becomes a destination that you can “push” things to. You can send links, photos, videos, files, and much more, but that is just one small part of the app. <P> The free Pushbullet app lets you share links, directions and locations plotted in Google Maps, images, and other content quickly from one device to another. While it repeats what iOS and OS X can already do, it fills in the gaps for sharing among other platforms.

what kind of hay do rabbits eat | <P> 1 Make sure the hay is good quality and stored well. 2 If your rabbit doesn't like hay, try fresh grass. 3 Rabbits are more likely to eat hay if it is near them at times they feel like eating. 4 Rabbit's often like to eat whilst they are using their litter tray or resting so place hay in these areas. Other than Alfalfa, all of the other types of hay I've mentioned are suitable for feeding as the hay portion of your rabbits diet. For most rabbits the subtle variations in nutritional values make little difference. The best hay for your rabbit is simply the one he or she prefers to eat a lot of. <P> Grass is the most natural food for a rabbit to eat. The ideal set up would be a secure exercise pen on grass that allowed your rabbit to graze freely, but that is not always practical. If your rabbit does not have free access to grass, you can simulate natural grazing by growing grass from seed in a pot or tray.

The best hay for your rabbit is simply the one he or she prefers to eat a lot of. <P> A rabbit’s diet should be made up of good quality pellets, fresh hay (timothy or other grass hays), oat hay, water and fresh vegetables. Anything beyond that is a “treat” and should be given in limited quantities. <P> Rabbits mostly eat lettuce, carrots and vegetables. Rabbits eat grass because they don't have sharp teeth. Pet rabbits Pet bunnies require a special diet high in fibre, moderate in proteins, low in fats, calcium, and sugar, and with the right mix of vitamins and nutrients. This diet basically mimics the diet of a wild rabbit. Rabbits should not eat any dairy, meat products or bi-products, grains, nuts, seeds, or processed human foods (cereals, crackers, cookies, etc). Avoid giving your rabbit any plants that have fertilizers on them, pesticides, or parasites left by other animals. <P> Most rabbits will eat any kind of hay but it can be useful to try different kinds to encourage picky eaters or simply to introduce some variety into your rabbit's diet... 19. Grass can be fed ad lib to your rabbit and letting your rabbit graze on your lawn is a natural way for it to receive the high fibre diet it needs. If you have no garden or lawn, you can pick handfuls of grass from parks or roadsides to feed your rabbit but wash it thoroughly first. <P> It's important that rabbits eat lots and lots of hay. Some rabbits don't like hay cubes. If your rabbit doesn't really eat his hay cubes, then you have to give loose hay instead, because you have to encourage as much hay eating as possible. If your rabbit does eat hay cubes, then you can give her as many as you want. Hay is a great way to keep a rabbit's teeth healthy (they keep growing, and need to be worn down by something!) and digestive system healthy … (hay is high in fibre), and a great way to keep them entertained and occupied (rabbits like to graze). Rabbits should have 100% 24/7 unlimited access to fresh hay. <P> Most rabbits will happily eat any kind of hay, however, it can be useful to try different kinds to encourage picky eaters to eat more hay or simply to introduce some variety into your rabbit's diet.

what is ascaris lumbricoides | <P> INTRODUCTION Ascaris lumbricoides, an intestinal roundworm, is one of the most common helminthic human infections worldwide. Highest prevalence in tropical and subtropical regions, and areas with inadequate sanitation. Ascariasis occurs in rural areas of the southeastern United States. <P> Physical Description. Adults: The roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides is the largest intestinal nematode infecting humans, with females averaging 30 cm in length (ranging from 20-49 cm) and measuring 3-6 mm in diameter. Males are smaller, ranging from 15-30 cm in length and 2-4 mm in diameter. <P> Ascaris Lumbricoides-Giant Roundworm. Ascaris lumbricoides, giant roundworm, is the most common parasitic worm in humans. According to some estimates 25 % of humans are infected with the disease, ascariasis. Ascariasis occurs worldwide, mostly in tropical and subtropical countries. <P> Ascariasis is a disease caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides. Infections have no symptoms in more than 85% of cases, especially if the number of worms is small. Symptoms increase with the number of worms present and may include shortness of breath and fever in the beginning of the disease. <P> Ascaris is a genus of parasitic nematode worms known as the small intestinal roundworms, which is a type of helminth. One species, Ascaris lumbricoides, affects humans and causes the disease ascariasis. Another species, Ascaris suum, typically infects pigs. <P> Ascaris lumbricoides is the largest nematode (roundworm) parasitizing the human intestine (adult females are 20 to 35 cm and adult males 15 to 30 cm in length). Morphology. Learn more about this article. Adults: The roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides is the largest intestinal nematode infecting humans, with females averaging 30 cm in length (ranging from 20-49 cm) and measuring 3-6 mm in diameter. Males are smaller, ranging from 15-30 cm in length and 2-4 mm in diameter. <P> Ascariasis is an infection caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, which is one species of roundworm. Infections caused by roundworms—which are a type of parasitic worm that can be as small as one millimeter or as long as a one meter—are relatively common. Ascariasis is the most common roundworm infection. <P> Ascaris lumbricoides is the giant roundworm of humans, growing to a length of up to 35 cm. It is one of several species of Ascaris. An ascarid nematode of the phylum Nematoda, it is the largest and most common parasitic worm in humans. Morphology. Learn more about this article. Adults: The roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides is the largest intestinal nematode infecting humans, with females averaging 30 cm in length (ranging from 20-49 cm) and measuring 3-6 mm in diameter. Males are smaller, ranging from 15-30 cm in length and 2-4 mm in diameter. <P> An estimated 807-1,221 million people in the world are infected with Ascaris lumbricoides (sometimes called just . Ascaris ). Ascaris, hookworm, and whipworm are known as soil-transmitted helminths (parasitic worms). Together, they account for a major burden of disease worldwide. Ascaris lives in the intestine and Ascaris eggs are passed in the feces of infected persons. If the infected person defecates outside (near bushes, in a garden, or field) or if the feces of an infected person are used as fertilizer, eggs are deposited on soil. They can then mature into a form that is infective. | It is the giant roundworm of humans, growing to a length of up to 35 cm. It is one of several species of ascaris.

why anxiety makes muscle pain | <P> Just a small sample of the links between anxiety and muscle pain include: 1 Muscle Tension The most common cause of muscle discomfort from anxiety is tension. 2 Muscle tension is one of the most common anxiety symptoms, occurring whenever you're experiencing stress. For you to overcome your own muscle pain, you need to react to that pain the same way that you would react to muscle pain caused by exercise, exertion, or even sleeping wrong: 1 Stretch often and make sure you're moving around. 2 Hydrate and eat healthy to nourish the muscles. <P> The most common causes of muscle pain are tension, stress, overuse and minor injuries. This type of pain is usually localized, affecting just one or more muscles or parts of your body. Systemic muscle pain, which you feel throughout your body, is different. It's more often the result of an infection, an illness or a side effect of a medication. Common causes of muscle pain include: 1 Chronic exertional compartment syndrome. 2 Chronic fatigue syndrome. 3 Claudication. <P> Those are just a few of the potential reasons that anxiety and muscle pain are related. Some people also find that their hyperventilation (a symptom of panic attacks) causes them to hyperventilate. Others find that they toss and turn at night or sleep in uncomfortable positions because of their anxiety. For you to overcome your own muscle pain, you need to react to that pain the same way that you would react to muscle pain caused by exercise, exertion, or even sleeping wrong: 1 Stretch often and make sure you're moving around. 2 Hydrate and eat healthy to nourish the muscles. <P> In the meantime, here are a few stress-and muscle tension-reduction suggestions: 1 Sharpen your awareness of your stress level. 2 Muscle pain is often the end result of a stress response, so if you notice the beginning of a tension-producer, you can break from it, preventing strain from turning into aches and paralysis. 1 <P> The effects of stress include a nail biting, anxiety, a racing mind, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behavior, unending worry, muscle tension and spasm, poor appetite or too great an appetite, digestive disorders, constipation, insomnia, poor blood flow, belabored breathing, neck pain, shoulder tension and back pain. <P> Anxiety muscle tension, aches, and pains can change from day to day, and/or from moment to moment. All of the above combinations and variations are common. Some people experience great immobility due to anxiety muscle tension symptoms and/or pain. Some people also find the tension and/or pain so restricting and debilitating that it prevents physical activity, and sometimes to the point of becoming bed ridden. As long as the body’s stress remains elevated, one, or a group of muscles, can remain tight causing anxiety related muscle tension symptoms. Moreover, recent research has found that psychological stress can negatively affect pain modulation (the body’s ability to regulate pain). <P> But there's no denying that anxiety can have a very clear effect on your muscles. See a doctor, and make sure you take my anxiety test to learn more about your specific anxiety symptoms. Muscle pain is a broad term, and has an equally broad number of causes-even from anxiety. For you to overcome your own muscle pain, you need to react to that pain the same way that you would react to muscle pain caused by exercise, exertion, or even sleeping wrong: 1 Stretch often and make sure you're moving around. 2 Hydrate and eat healthy to nourish the muscles. <P> Muscle tension, body soreness, headaches. For people with anxiety disorders, pain like this may be all too familiar. Pain can be a common symptom — and sometimes a good indicator — of an anxiety disorder, particularly generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). <P> But what you may not know is that anxiety can also cause physical reactions that sideline you from the things you love. One example of this type of reaction is muscle pain, which affects many people with anxiety and can, in some ways, lead to further anxiety. For you to overcome your own muscle pain, you need to react to that pain the same way that you would react to muscle pain caused by exercise, exertion, or even sleeping wrong: 1 Stretch often and make sure you're moving around. 2 Hydrate and eat healthy to nourish the muscles. | The most common causes of muscle pain are tension, stress, overuse and minor injuries. This type of pain is usually localized, affecting just one or more muscles or parts of your body. |
how much can you make per day scrapping metal | <P> You can make around 60k a year or more in scrap metal collecting and only have to collect three times a week. This is much less work than going to work every day and working for 8 hours. Scrap metal prices vary from location to location. You can take one piece of scrap metal to a dealer for pricing and get 10 cents or it and take the same piece to a different dealer for a price and end up getting 50 cents for it! <P> My favorite item to come across is copper and aluminum. Other metal like tin and brass aren’t worth as much. For copper you could get up to $2.50 per lb. So if I have 200 lbs., your looking at an easy $500 just to pick up money from the floor and transporting it.The scrapper lifestyle can be addicting. <P> Yes. It’s not uncommon for scrap collector to make $100-$200 cash per day. If you can get 1,000 lbs of metal in a day you’ve made $100 cash. It can be hard work, but it can also be very rewarding. A few years ago I picked up two die cast molds from a company that just wanted to get rid of them. They were extraordinarily, heavy, weighing almost 1,500 lbs between the two of them. <P> A car batter can earn between 40 cents and $5 per battery. Recycling scrap metal is very popular these days and few realize just how profitable it can be. Finding and selling scrap metal is like hunting for treasure, and after you make your first bit of pocket change you could be hooked. Aluminum can be worth from 0.60 to 0.85 $, while magnesium is usually worth more. Iron Values – Iron is easy to find because it is magnetic. If you touch a pile of scrap metal with a magnet, anything that is iron will either be attracted to the magnet or will stick to it. Iron is very heavy and it rusts quickly. <P> Davidson said copper is in high demand this year and can be sold, on average, for just over three dollars per pound. And catalytic converters, which contain valuable metals like palladium and platinum can net anywhere between $40 to several hundred dollars. So, in order to make the federal minimum wage of $58 for an eight-hour workday, a scrapper would need to find one catalytic converter or up to 111 pounds of stainless steel, according to data from the AMM. SHARE ON FACEBOOK SHARE ON TWITTER. <P> 1 Ferrous metal – $0.10/lb. 2 For the most common metal or Ferrous metal you can expect $195/ton, or approximate 10 cents per pound, or $10 per 100 pounds. 3 Bare Copper – $2.85/lb. 4 If the copper still has its shield (for example a power cord) then yards will pay a percentage of the $2.85/pound or roughly 60% of the weight. <P> How much money can I make from my scrap cars or car is a question we hear daily. Actually, multiple times a day. In fact if we hear it again we may hop in our car, hit the pedal to the scrap metal and not stop driving till we hit the Caribbean coast. <P> Currently the closest scrap yard to me pays $195 per ton, or per 2,000 pounds for ferrous metals. This breaks down to approximately $10 per 100 pounds of metal. The price that scrap yards pay fluctuates with worldwide supply and demand and can change daily. – Ferrous metal (most common)- $195/ton or approximate 10 cents per pound or $10 per 100 pounds. If you can get 1,000 lbs of metal in a day you’ve made $100 cash. It can be hard work, but it can also be very rewarding.

what is the relationship between fossil fuels and greenhouse effect | <P> Answers. Best Answer: Summarised very briefly: Fossil fuels are the largest anthropogenic (human-induced) cause of greenhouse gas emissions. When fossil fuels (oil/coal) are burnt they produce carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide absorbs the sun's energy and re-emits it as heat energy (infra-red). Power plants and motor vehicles are the largest contributors of human-induced carbon dioxide emissions. The greenhouse effect has to do with the amount of cloud (water vapor) cover. Clouds tend to insulate the ground, holding in the temperature at night and keeping the ground from excepting some of the radiation during the day. RichardH · 4 years ago. <P> A: The greenhouse effect is the cause of global warming. Global warming, in theory, is one of the outcomes of the Greenhouse Effect.

Without it, the earth would be too cold to live in! The burning of fossil fuels releases gasses into the atmosphere. These gasses join the gas layer around the earth. <P> Cars | | Carbon Cops: Cars The relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and car fuels When fuel is burnt in a car engine it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. Some other compounds such as nitrous oxide and sulphides are also released. <P> Right: Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, are increasing greenhouse gas levels, leading to an enhanced greenhouse effect. The result is global warming and unprecedented rates of climate change. Credit: Will Elder, National Park Service. To understand global warming, it's first necessary to become familiar with the greenhouse effect, though. Left: Naturally occurring greenhouse gases — carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) — normally trap some of the sun’s heat, keeping the planet from freezing. <P> (1 point) Burning fossil fuels decreases incoming solar radiation.

the history and use of the periodic table | <P> Creating Some Early Blocks for the Periodic Table. Between 1817-1829, Johann Dobereiner began to group elements with similar properties in to groups of three or triads. This began in 1817 when he noticed that the atomic weights of strontium, Sr, was halfway between the weights of calcium and barium. These elements possessed similar chemical properties. Before written history, people were aware of some of the elements in the periodic table. Elements such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), tin (Sn), and mercury (Hg). It wasn't until 1649, however, until the first element was discovered through scientific inquiry by Hennig Brand. <P> The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties. The table also shows four rectangular blocks: s-, p-d- and f-block. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups. Six groups (columns) have names as well as numbers: for example, group 17 elements are the halogens; and group 18, the noble gases. The periodic table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements, and predict the properties of new elements yet to be discovered or synthesized. The periodic table provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and is widely used in chemistry and other sciences <P> The periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers, electron configurations and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements, with rows called periods and columns called groups. The history of the periodic table reflects over a century of growth in the understanding of chemical properties. <P> In 1869 Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev started the development of the periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. He predicted the discovery of other elements, and left spaces open in his periodic table for them. In 1886 French physicist Antoine Bequerel first discovered radioactivity. Thomson student from New Zealand Ernest Rutherford named three types of radiation; alpha, beta and gamma rays. In 1894 Sir William Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh discovered the noble gases, which were added to the periodic table as group 0. In 1897 English physicist J. J. Thomson first discovered electrons; small negatively charged particles in an atom. John Townsend and Robert Millikan determined their exact charge and mass. <P> Chemists have always looked for ways of arranging the elements to reflect the similarities between their properties. The modern periodic table lists the elements in order of increasing atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom). The table below shows the example of Gallium, which Mendeleev called eka-aluminium, because it was the element after aluminium. Scandium and Germanium were the other two elements discovered by 1886, and helped to cement the reputation of Mendeleev’s periodic table. <P> Mendeleev's table needed one important modification before it became the modern periodic table – the use of atomic number to order the elements. All atoms of the same element contain the same number of particles called protons, and this is called the element's atomic number. <P> Groups are the columns of the periodic table. There are 18 columns or groups and different groups have different properties. One example of a group is the noble or inert gases. These elements all line up in the eighteenth or last column of the periodic table. Some columns are skipped in order for elements with the same number of valence electrons to line up on the same columns. When they are lined up this way, elements in the columns have similar properties. Each horizontal row in the table is a period. There are seven (or eight) total periods. <P> The history of the periodic table is also a history of the discovery of the chemical elements. The first person in history to discover a new element was Hennig Brand, a bankrupt German merchant. The history of the periodic table reflects over a century of growth in the understanding of chemical properties. | The history of the periodic table reflects over a century of growth in the understanding of chemical properties.

However, only E. histolytica causes Amebiasis. <P> Amoebiasis, also known as amebiasis or entamoebiasis, is an infection caused by any of the amoebas of the Entamoeba group. Symptoms are most common upon infection by Entamoeba histolytica. Amoebiasis can present with no, mild, or severe symptoms. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, mild diarrhoea, bloody diarrhea or severe colitis with tissue death and perforation. This last complication may cause peritonitis. <P> Overview. Amebiasis is a parasitic infection of the intestines caused by the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica, or E. histolytica. The symptoms of amebiasis include loose stool, abdominal cramping, and stomach pain. However, most people with amebiasis won’t experience significant symptoms. Amebiasis is common in tropical countries with underdeveloped sanitation. The Merck Manual states that amebiasis is most common in the Indian subcontinent, parts of Central and South America, and parts of Africa. It’s relatively rare in the United States. Persons at greatest risk for amebiasis include: <P> Amebiasis is an infectious disease caused by a parasitic one-celled microorganism (protozoan) called Entamoeba histolytica. Persons with amebiasis may experience a wide range of symptoms, including diarrhea, fever, and cramps. The disease may also affect the intestines, liver, or other parts of the body. The most common form of extraintestinal amebiasis is amebic abscess of the liver. In the United States, amebic liver abscesses occur most frequently in young Hispanic adults. An amebic liver abscess can result from direct infection of the liver by E. histolytica or as a complication of intestinal amebiasis. <P> Primary Cause of Amebiasis. The primary cause of Amebiasis is the result: 1 of transmission of an infectious agent by another person by one or more of the following: saliva, air, cough, fecal-oral route, surfaces, blood, needles, blood transfusions, sexual contact, mother to fetus, etc. <P> On average, about one in 10 people who are infected with E. histolytica becomes sick from the infection. The symptoms often are quite mild and can include loose stools, stomach pain, and stomach cramping. Amebic dysentery is a severe form of amebiasis associated with stomach pain, bloody stools, and fever. Rarely, E. histolytica invades the liver and forms an abscess.

what is organ trafficking definition | <P> It is known that trafficking for organ trade could occur with persons of any age. Organs which are commonly traded are kidneys, liver and the like; any organ which can be removed and used, could be the subject of such illegal trade. Trafficking in organ trade is an organized crime, involving a host of offenders. <P> Organ trafficking is the practice of selling organs for transplant. There are both legal and illegal forms of organ trafficking, typically in which living individuals undergo removal of an organ that is then sold to be transplanted into someone else. <P> While it is commonly believed that trafficking only takes places for commercial sexual exploitation or for forced labour, trafficking in fact takes many forms such as trafficking for forced marriage and trafficking for organ trade among others. Trafficking in organs is a crime that occurs in three broad categories. <P> Organ trafficking is the practice of selling organs for transplant, including the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and pancreas. A person seeking to sell her or his organs must meet certain health qualifications. Patients in need of an organ transplant often have to rely on organs that have been harvested from the dead. <P> The response to trafficking in organ trade has more or less been lacklusture. Considering the serious health implications and the severe human rights violations of the vulnerable victims, it is essential that this issue gets the desired attention. <P> Definition: The illegal organ trade is a form of widespread organized crime where inner organs are illegally obtained and traded for transplantation. Types of Organ Trade trafficking for organs is a crime that occurs in 3 broad categories: -cases where traffickers force or deceive the donors to give up an organ. | Organ trafficking is the practice of selling organs for transplant, including the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and pancreas. |

what is a qualified structured settlement annuity | <P> A structured settlement is a financial or insurance arrangement whereby a claimant agrees to resolve a personal injury tort claim by receiving periodic payments on an agreed schedule rather than as a lump sum. A purchaser of a structured settlement is an individual or company who buys a pre-existing structured settlement. Such settlements might include payouts for lottery winnings or annuities. For example, a court ordered structured settlement pays $5,000 a year for twenty years. <P> With a structured settlement, a defendant's insurer typically funds an annuity policy for the plaintiff. An annuity produces a continuous stream of income over the term of the structured settlement. Annuity contracts can be quite complex to cover a variety of expected expenses. A structured settlement is an arrangement that provides the plaintiff with regular payments over the course of several years or for the rest of the plaintiff's life. They are especially helpful when the plaintiff suffers a serious and permanent injury known as a catastrophic injury. <P> What is a Structured Annuity. A structured annuity, also known as a structured settlement or a periodic payment judgment, is an annuity or group of annuities with a very short accumulation phase funded by a lump sum payment similar to a single-pay annuity. It is important to remember that the plaintiff awarded damages cannot start a structured annuity. It must be requested that the party ordered to pay the awarded damages (usually an insurance company) do so on their behalf, either by mutual agreement or by court order. <P> For many years, structured settlement annuities have been utilized to provide future periodic payments to injured claimants in physical tort cases. <P> Footnote. 1. While it has many of the same features of a structured settlement, and may commonly be referred to as such, since the introduction of IRC 5891 in 2001 a non qualified assignment is technically not a structured settlement. What is a structured settlement? In thenon qualified structured settlement, each periodic payment is fully taxable to the payee in the year that each periodic payment is received. The type of tax applied will depend on the transaction. <P> A Structured Settlement Annuity (SSA) provides tax-free, periodic payments over a period of time, specifically designed to meet an injured party's needs.

This material is written to support the promotion or marketing of the transaction(s) or matter(s) addressed by this material. <P> Distributions for a structured annuity are very flexible. The annuitant can request distribution payments as frequently as weekly, and can also request that payments be made in differing levels in anticipation of future financial needs such as medical equipment replacement or college expenses. It is important to remember that the plaintiff awarded damages cannot start a structured annuity. It must be requested that the party ordered to pay the awarded damages (usually an insurance company) do so on their behalf, either by mutual agreement or by court order. <P> A Structured Settlement is a tool utilized in the resolution of personal, physical injury claims.

simple definition of dna sequencing | <P> GNN Home. Genome sequencing is figuring out the order of DNA nucleotides, or bases, in a genomethe order of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts that make up an organism's DNA. The human genome is made up of over 3 billion of these genetic letters. When you read a sentence, the meaning is not just in the sequence of the letters. It is also in the words those letters make and in the grammar of the language. Similarly, the human genome is more than just its sequence. <P> The rapid speed of sequencing attained with modern DNA sequencing technology has been instrumental in the sequencing of complete DNA sequences, or genomes of numerous types and species of life, including the human genome and other complete DNA sequences of many animal, plant, and microbial species. DNA sequencing is the determination of the physical order of these bases in a molecule of DNA. However, there are many other bases that may be present in a molecule. In some viruses (specifically, bacteriophage), cytosine may be replaced by hydroxy methyl or hydroxy methyl glucose cytosine. <P> GENOME SEQUENCING.

From a sequencing perspective, having a new copy of DNA isn't especially helpful. What we want to know is what the order of the bases along the strand is. Sequencing works because we can get the process to stop in specific places and identify the base where it stops. DNA sequencing. Given a supply of DNA molecules and primers, the polymerase makes a series of fragments that stop when a terminating base is incorporated. The fragments appear as bands in one of the four lanes that run across the gel at bottom. <P> DNA sequence: The precise ordering of the bases (A, T, G, C) from which DNA is composed. Base pairs form naturally only between A and T and between G and C, so the base sequence of each single strand of DNA can be simply deduced from that of its partner strand. <P> DNA sequencing is the process of determining the precise order of nucleotides within a DNA molecule. It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases— adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine —in a strand of DNA.

when was new amsterdam founded | <P> New Amsterdam was renamed New York on September 8, 1664, in honor of the then Duke of York (later James II of England), in whose name the English had captured it. In 1667 the Dutch gave up their claim to the town and the rest of the colony, in exchange for control of the Spice Islands. <P> New Amsterdam was founded in July, 1625, when a settlement was established by the Dutch West India Company. A pentagonal fort was built and a street connecting the two gates was laid out, with a market place in the center. Due to Indian troubles, the settlers at Fort Orange were moved to New Amsterdam in 1626. <P> New Amsterdam was founded for the Dutch West India Company for the sole purpose of profit (through trade).

what are antibodies in the blood | <P> Each antibody binds to a specific antigen; an interaction similar to a lock and key. An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shape protein produced by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. The antibody recognizes a unique molecule of the harmful agent, called an antigen, via the variable region. The ability of an antibody to communicate with the other components of the immune system is mediated via its Fc region (located at the base of the Y), which contains a conserved glycosylation site involved in these interactions. <P> Guide. Antibody tests are done to find certain antibodies that attack red blood cells. Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system. Normally, antibodies bind to foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses, and cause them to be destroyed. The following conditions cause antibodies to be made. A type of hemolytic anemia called autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a rare disease that causes antibodies to be made against a person's own red blood cells. Two blood tests can check for antibodies that attack red blood cells: the direct Coombs test and the indirect Coombs test. The direct Coombs test is done on a sample of red blood cells from the body. It detects antibodies that are already attached to red blood cells <P> Antibodies, are gamma globulin proteins that are found in blood or other bodily fluids of vertebrates, and are used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign obj … ects, such as bacteria and virusis. Hope this helps :). Antibodies are produced by a kind of white blood cell called a plasma cell. There are several different types of antibody heavy chains, and several different kinds of antibodies, which are grouped into different isotypes based on which heavy chain they possess. <P> Antibodies in Blood Plasma. Blood plasma contains antibodies, a type of protein that can fight a substance considered foreign to the host body. The body manufactures antibodies to correspond to naturally occurring antigens inherited through DNA. The anti-D antibody is the only known preventable antibody in pregnancy. Other stimulated antibodies that circulate in plasma come from receiving, or exposure to, blood antigens. A blood transfusion from the general population exposes the recipient to foreign <P> Though strictly speaking, an antibody is not the same as an immunoglobulin; B cells can produce two types of immunoglobulins-surface immunoglobulins, which are B cell receptors; and secreted immunoglobulins, which are antibodies. So antibodies are one of two classes of immunoglobulins. The ability of an antibody to communicate with the other components of the immune system is mediated via its Fc region (located at the base of the Y), which contains a conserved glycosylation site involved in these interactions. <P> Antibodies are small proteins that circulate in the bloodstream. They are part of the immune (defence) system and are sometimes called immunoglobulins. They are made by B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). Antibodies attach to proteins and other chemicals in the body, which they recognise to be foreign (not normally found in the body). The foreign proteins and chemicals that antibodies attach to are called antigens. <P> Red blood cell antibody identification is used as a follow-up test to a positive RBC antibody screen or a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) . One of these tests is performed: 1 On a pregnant woman during each pregnancy to determine whether the mother has developed any red blood cell (RBC) antibodies. <P> Antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins, abbreviated Ig) are gamma globulin proteins that are found in blood or other bodily fluids of vertebrates, and are used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects, such as bacteria and viruses.

pulse rate mean | <P> Etymology: L, pulsare + reri, to calculate. the number of pulse beats per minute, normally the same as the heart rate. The normal pulse rate in an average adult varies from 60 to 80 beats/min, with fluctuations occurring with exercise, injury, illness, and emotional reactions. The average pulse rate for a newborn is 120 beats/min, which slows throughout childhood and adolescence. <P> The heart rate is based on the number of contractions of the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart). The heart rate may be too fast (tachycardia) or too slow (bradycardia). The pulse is a bulge of an artery from waves of blood that course through the blood vessels each time the heart beats. The pulse is often taken at the wrist to estimate the heart rate. <P> The resting heart rate of the body (commonly called RHR) is the number of contractions of the heart that occur in a single minute while the body is at complete rest. This number will vary depending upon the age, gender, and general health of a person. <P> Guide. Your pulse is the rate at which your heart beats. Your pulse is usually called your heart rate, which is the number of times your heart beats each minute (bpm). But the rhythm and strength of the heartbeat can also be noted, as well as whether the blood vessel feels hard or soft. You check your pulse rate by counting the beats in a set period of time (at least 15 to 20 seconds) and multiplying that number to get the number of beats per minute. Your pulse changes from minute to minute. <P> Even if you’re not an athlete, knowledge about your heart rate can help you monitor your fitness level — and it might even help you spot developing health problems. Your heart rate, or pulse, is the number of times your heart beats per minute. Normal heart rate varies from person to person. Knowing yours can be an important heart-health gauge. <P> Heart rate, or heart pulse, is the speed of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per unit of time — typically beats per minute (bpm). The heart rate can vary according to the body's physical needs, including the need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide. The normal resting adult human heart rate ranges from 60–100 bpm. Tachycardia is a fast heart rate, defined as above 100 bpm at rest. Bradycardia is a slow heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest. During sleep a slow heartbeat with rates around 40–50 BPM is common and is considered normal. <P> Advertisement. Our pulse rate can be defined as the number of heart beats per minute, which should ideally be within the range of 60-100 beats per minute in an healthy adult. However, it is generally a higher number when it comes to women as compared to men. Therefore the normal pulse rate varies depending upon the age and the activeness of the person. This is because the heart doesn't need to exert itself in a healthy body, however, if the body is unhealthy, the heart would need to work hard to meet the body's regular supply of oxygen. <P> People usually measure the pulse in the wrist, also known as the radial pulse. To check the pulse rate, you should count the number of times the pulse beats for 10 seconds. Once you get the number, multiply it by 6. This will give you your heart rate per minute. For example, if there are 11 pulse beats per 10 seconds, multiply: 11X 6=66 beats per minute. A pulse rate between 60 and 90 is considered to be normal. There are athletes and fitness freaks having an astoundingly low pulse rate of 40-60, which means the pulse rate is quite good. The pulse rate below 60, in medical parlance is called as bradycardias.. | Your pulse is the rate at which your heart beats. |
average price of quartz vs granite per square foot installed | <P> Granite countertops usually cost about $50 to $100 per square foot, including installation. If you have 30 square feet of counter space-which is fairly standard-the total cost would be $1,500 to $3,000.

It is possible for a continuous asthmatic state to last for hours or even days. Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: The severity and length of an asthma attack varies from person to person. It is possible for a continuous asthmatic state to last for hours or even days. In some people with severe asthma symptoms, repeated inflammation alters the airways and leads to permanent airway obstruction. <P> All of these factors -- bronchospasm, inflammation, and mucus production -- cause symptoms of an asthma attack such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and difficulty performing normal daily activities. Other symptoms of an asthma attack may include: 1 Severe wheezing when breathing both in and out. 2 Coughing that won't stop. 3 Very rapid breathing. 4 Chest tightness or pressure. <P> The duration of an asthma attack can vary, depending on what caused it and how long the airways have been inflamed. Mild episodes may last only a few minutes; more severe ones can last from hours to days. Mild attacks can resolve spontaneously or may require medication, typically a quick-acting inhaler. More severe attacks can be shortened with appropriate treatment. <P> Adapted media release. Asthma is a long-lasting (chronic) disease of the lungs and airways (bronchi) that affects 5 people in every 100. In children, this figure is higher and rising. Asthma is characterised by attacks of breathlessness, tight chest, wheezing and coughing which are caused by the airways becoming narrowed and inflamed. Some children grow out of asthma and some people are only affected at different times of the year. However, the period of time during which people may have asthma attacks can last for many years or throughout life. Asthma is not so much treated as it is controlled. As a chronic, long-term disease, there is no cure. | The duration of an asthma attack can vary, depending on what caused it and how long the airways have been inflamed.

normal temperature range for cattle | <P> The thermometer is the best way to identify animals fighting infections. The calf's normal average body temperature is 101.5º F. Healthy calves have a diurnal temperature pattern which means lower temperatures in the morning and higher temperatures in the afternoon. Healthy calves may have 100º temperature in the morning which may climb to 103º in the afternoon. <P> It is critical to take temperatures before mid-morning. Producers measuring cattle temperature in the afternoon, even on a cold day, and letting cattle stand around for three or four hours before processing may identify cattle for treatment that are actually healthy. Some untreated cattle overcome infection and recover, while others suffer elevated body temperatures and show other signs of illness. In cattle that begin to succumb to disease, clinical signs worsen and body temperature eventually falls well below normal, creating a dangerous health situation. <P> Unfortunately, normal temperatures for cattle rise during the day. Cattle producers must consider this when deciding when to use body temperature as an indicator for pulling sick cattle. Cattle do not maintain body temperature in a tight range as humans do. Some untreated cattle overcome infection and recover, while others suffer elevated body temperatures and show other signs of illness. In cattle that begin to succumb to disease, clinical signs worsen and body temperature eventually falls well below normal, creating a dangerous health situation. <P> Introduction : To maintain a healthy, productive sheep flock, managers must consider many techniques of thermoregulation in order to keep their animals comfortable. The normal body temperature of a sheep hovers around 102.3 °F and ranges from 100.9-103.8 °F. This body temperature (Thermal Neutral Zone) is vital to maintain. If body temperatures rise above the normal range, metabolism begins to increase due to panting. <P> 1 Temperature - 38,6C (normal range is 38.1- 39.0C)or 101.5F (normal range 100.5 -102.5F). 2 When interpreting cows with a temperature on the upper and lower limits of this range it is useful to take the whole picture into account i.e the ambient temperature, is the cow bright etc. <P> According to Nickell, normal body temperatures for stocker cattle typically range from 100.5° F to 102.5° F. However, even healthy cattle can have body temperatures as high as 103° F during the summer months. , discussed the importance of body temperature in diagnosing sickness in stocker cattle. “Body temperature is a direct reflection of the animal’s ability to balance heat gain and heat loss,” Nickell says. <P> Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. Normal body temperature range for cattle is between range from 100.5-degrees F to 102.5-degrees F.

Most people state that the normal body temperature is 98.6°F (37°C) <P> The normal core body temperature of a healthy, resting cow is stated on average to be 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit (38.6 degrees Celsius). Though the body temperature measured on an individual cow can vary, a healthy cow can maintain a fairly consistent body temperature that is around the mark of 101.5 °F (38.6 °C). The normal range of a cow body temperature varies due to many factors. For example the temperature of the inner organs, including the brain, varies by 1.8 to 3.6 °F (1 to 2 °C), and there may be gradients of a few degrees within and between organs. Skin temperatures are usually 18 to 36 °F (10 to 20 °C) below the core temperature, depending on the cow's hide. <P> The average body temperature of a cow is most likely 101.5 ° F (38.6 °C). A cow's body temperature must be maintained within narrow limits in order to sustain its physiological processes. According to the research, the range is found to be 100 to 104 °F (37.8 °C to 40.0 °C). For example the temperature of the inner organs, including the brain, varies by 1.8 to 3.6 °F (1 to 2 °C), and there may be gradients of a few degrees within and between organs.

how long to bake a ham | <P> The best way to do this is to place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Add water to the bottom of the pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil (cover the pan with the ham). Cook approximately 12 to 15 minutes per pound for a whole or boneless ham and approximately 18 to 20 minutes per pound for a half ham. Adding Glaze: When meat thermometer registers 135 degrees F., unwrap the ham and apply your favorite glaze. Timetable For Cooking Ham: Set oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Both cook-before-eating cured and fresh hams should be cooked to 160 degrees F. Reheat fully-cooked ham to 140 degrees F. Use a Cooking or Meat Thermometer for the perfect ham for your Christmas dinner. <P> Try to work the glaze into the scored lines. 5 Place ham in oven. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours (check after 1 hour, will take longer if the ham is not at room temp to begin with), or about 10 minutes per pound, until the internal temperature of the ham is 110°-120° (use a meat thermometer). <P> 1 Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. 2 For a whole 10- to 15-pound ham, allow 18 to 20 minutes per pound; for a half--5 to 7 pounds--about 20 minutes per pound; or for a shank or butt portion weighing 3 to 4 pounds, about 35 minutes to the pound. 1 For a whole 10- to 15-pound ham, allow 18 to 20 minutes per pound; for a half--5 to 7 pounds--about 20 minutes per pound; or for a shank or butt portion weighing 3 to 4 pounds, about 35 minutes to the pound. 2 In all cases, cook uncovered until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. <P> 1 Bake at 325°F for 18-20 minutes per pound, until a meat thermometer registers 140°F. 2 Unwrap the ham and apply the glaze; increase the heat to 400°F and bake for 15-20 minutes longer until the glaze is burnished. 1 The best way to do this is to place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan. 2 Add water to the bottom of the pan and cover the whole thing tightly with foil. 3 <P> 1 After ham has completed roasting, take ham out of oven and let stand 15 minutes before slicing. 2 Ham will continue to bake when out of the oven and letting ham stand for 15 minutes makes it easier to carve. 3 Do not partially cook pork and then store in refrigerator to use later. 4 It must be cooked until done. <P> 2 1/2 hours. Here's how: Preheat the oven to 325, place the ham on a rack in a baking dish with a little water in the bottom. Wrap in foil, bake for about 2 hours, or until th … e internal temperature is 135 - 140 degrees. <P> 275°F-Bake for 20 minutes per pound (about 2 to 2 1/2 hours total) 350°F-Bake for 10 minutes per pound (about 1 to 1 1/2 hours total) The ham is ready when it has reached an internal temperature of about 120°F to 140°F. 1. Heat the oven to 275°F and line the roasting rack with several long pieces of foil. <P> Step 3: Baking the ham. Place the ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert an oven-safe thermometer into the center of the ham (it should not touch bone). Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the ham registers the desired temperature (140 to 150 degrees F). Because cooking times vary based on the size and type of ham, use the timings below as a guide. <P> 1 Preheat the oven to 325°F. 2 To heat the ham, place it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, and bake uncovered. 3 For a whole ham, allow 15 to 18 minutes to the pound; for a half, 18 to 24 minutes per pound. 4 The ham will be ready when the internal temperature reaches 140°F. 1 For a whole 10- to 15-pound ham, allow 18 to 20 minutes per pound; for a half--5 to 7 pounds--about 20 minutes per pound; or for a shank or butt portion weighing 3 to 4 pounds, about 35 minutes to the pound. 2 In all cases, cook uncovered until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. | 20 minutes per pound of 275°F |
what impact did the prison reform movement have | <P> (April 2010). A reform movement is a kind of social movement that aims to make gradual change, or change in certain aspects of society, rather than rapid or fundamental changes. A reform movement is distinguished from more radical social movements such as revolutionary movements. The Radical movement campaigned for electoral reform, a reform of the Poor Laws, free trade, educational reform, postal reform, prison reform, and public sanitation. <P> The first phase of the prison reform movement, 1870 to 1900, began in the Midwest. Michigan led the way by establishing a prototype of the women's reformatory in the late 1860s. was a movement to reform the conditions under which women were incarcerated. This effort, which began about 1870, continues to influence women's prisons today.

Prison reform has had a long history in the United States, beginning with the construction of the nation's first prisons. <P> The champion of discipline and first national figure in prison reform was Louis Dwight. founder of the Boston Prison Discipline Society, he spread the Auburn system throughout America's jails and added salvation and Sabbath School to further penitence. Until the 19th century, juveniles offenders were passed into the custody of their parents. During the time of prison and asylum reform, juvenile detention centers like the House of Refuge in New York were built to reform children of delinquent behavior. <P> In the history of prison reform, the harsh treatment, torture, and executions used for deterrence first came under fire as a violation of human rights. The salvation goal, and methods, were later attacked as violations of the individual's Freedom of Religion. Prison populations of various countries in 2008. Prisons have only been used as the primary punishment for criminal acts in the last few centuries. Far more common earlier were various types of corporal punishment, public humiliation, penal bondage, and banishment for more severe offences, as well as capital punishment. <P> The American Prison Reform Movement of the 1800s was some peoples' answer to this question. In America, prisons have been around since the Europeans landed (and probably even before) in the early 1600s. The earliest prisons were local township jails that were seen as housing facilities for those awaiting trial. Dorothea Dix was first introduced to prison reform when she went to England to recover from tuberculosis. When she returned to the United States in the 1840's, she was so inspired by what she had seen in England that she began to help inmates who were mentally ill in the United States. <P> Enduring about 60 years, the prison reform movement in time challenged nearly every assumption of traditional prison practice. It produced an entirely new model of prison for adults, the women's reformatory, which eventually was adopted by states throughout the country. was a movement to reform the conditions under which women were incarcerated.

how many times does your heartbeat in a minute for a child | <P> 1 A normal adult resting heart beat is between 60-100 heartbeats per minute. 2 Some experienced athletes may see their resting heartrate fall below 60 beats per minute. 3 Tachycardia refers to the heart beating too fast at rest-over 100 beats per minute. How to measure your pulse and heart rate. Your pulse is your heart rate, or the number of times your heart beats in one minute. 2 Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you are at rest and increases when you exercise (more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the body when you exercise). <P> And the younger the child, the faster the normal heart rate will be. As your child gets older, her heart rate will slow down. A resting heart rate of 130 to 150 beats per minute is normal for a newborn infant, but it is too fast for a six-year-old child at rest. In a very athletic teenager, a resting heart rate of 50 to 60 beats per minute may be normal. <P> You can tell how fast your heart is beating (your heart rate) by feeling your pulse. Your heart-rate is the amount of times your heart beats in one minute. You will need a watch with a second hand. How fast the heart beats depends on the body's need for oxygen-rich blood. At rest, the SA node causes your heart to beat about 50 to 100 times each minute. During activity or excitement, your body needs more oxygen-rich blood; the heart rate rises to well over 100 beats per minute. <P> If you want to determine your maximum heart rate, or the maximum number of times your heart can beat per minute, subtract your age from 220. Say, for example, you are 40 years old. Subtracting 40 from 220 leaves 180, the maximum number of heart beats per minute for a 40-year-old. <P> Most adults have a resting heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). The fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For example, athletes may have a resting heart rate of 40-60 bpm or lower. You can check your pulse by counting how many times your heart beats in a minute. This is also known as your heart rate. Your heart rate can vary, depending on what you're doing. For example, it will be slower if you're sleeping and faster if you're exercising. <P> If you use an average of 80 beats per minute, your heart beats about 4,800 times per hour. That's a whopping 115,200 times per day. Over the course of a year, your heart would beat about 42,048,000 times! If you live to be 80 years old, your heart would have beaten approximately 3,363,840,000 times! That's over 3 billion heartbeats! What a muscle! If you're an athlete in exceptional physical shape, your resting heart rate may be much lower. Some professional athletes have resting heart rates of only 40 beats per minute. Your pulse is a measure of how many times per minute your heart beats. You can find your pulse by lightly pressing on your skin anywhere there's a large artery, such as the side of your neck or the inside of your wrist just below your thumb. <P> The average adult’s heart beats about 70 times every minute. Of course, the number of beats per minute will speed up for certain circumstances (such as exercise or nervousness) and will also slow down for other circumstances (such as resting or sleeping). But if you take the average of about 70 beats per minute and then multiply it by 1,440 minutes in a day, then you could roughly estimate that a person’s heart beats about 100,800 times per day 1 ! Share. <P> A reasonable estimate for the number of heartbeats in a lifetime is about three billion. Hence, in a day (that is, 1, 440 minutes), on an average, the adult heart beats 103, 680 times and a child's hearts beats between 129, 600 and 172, 800 times. Answers. Best Answer: The average heart beats 100,000-tach day. The average adult heart beats about 72 to 80 times a minute at rest. Your heartbeat, naturally, is by no means constant. The rate can vary from minute to minute, depending on stress and body temperature. A rate of 72 to 80 beats per minute is generally considered normal for a healthy human being at rest <P> A child (1-5 years) will have a pulse of appox 80-150 beats per minute. A child (5-12 years) will have a pulse of 60-120 beats per minute. And an adolescent will have a pulse of 60-105 beats per minute. Hope this helps. | A child (1-5 years) will have a pulse of appox 80-150 beats per minute. A child (5-12 years) will have a pulse of 60-120 beats per minute. |
what are the maned wolf predators | <P> Drawing of the skull of a maned wolf. The maned wolf bears minor similarities to the red fox, although it belongs to a different genus. The average adult weighs 23 kg (51 lb) and stands 90 cm (35 in) tall at the shoulder, has a head-body length of 100 cm (39 in) with the tail adding another 45 cm (18 in). The maned wolf is the tallest of the wild canids; its long legs are likely an adaptation to the tall grasslands of its native habitat. <P> The Maned Wolf Conservation Project, initiated in 2004, is a collaboration involving the Instituto Pro-Pró (carnivoros a local-non government), organization the’government S National Research center For Predator (CONSERVATION/CENAP) ibama and The’smithsonian S National Zoological. park <P> Diet Maned Wolves feed on large rodents, birds, reptiles, frogs, fruit and insects. Breeding After a gestation period of 65 days, Maned Wolves give birth to a litter of 2 - 5 cubs. They are weaned at around 4 months old and reach sexual maturity at 2 years of age. Predators Humans are predators of Maned Wolves. Subspecies There are no subspecies of the Maned Wolf <P> The maned wolf is not a common prey species for any predator, although it may be attacked or killed by feral dogs. An additional threat to the maned wolf exists from sharing territory with domestic dogs. The average adult weighs 23 kg (51 lb) and stands 90 cm (35 in) tall at the shoulder, has a head-body length of 100 cm (39 in) with the tail adding another 45 cm (18 in). The maned wolf is the tallest of the wild canids; its long legs are likely an adaptation to the tall grasslands of its native habitat. <P> Habitat destruction is the main threat to maned wolves. They have almost no natural enemies, but nevertheless are in great danger because they needs wide, uninterrupted spaces. In addition, people kill these wolves for their body parts, believed to have magical properties. Description: The maned wolf stands about three feet tall at the shoulder and weighs about 50 pounds. It looks like a long-legged fox, with a reddish-brown coat and a mane along its back. Its ears are large and long (7 inches), its throat and tip of the tail are white, and its legs are mostly dark <P> Prey And Predator. The maned wolf is both a predator to other animals but prey to humans. Humans are really the only predator this animal has, however it's the predator of many other animals. The maned wolf is an omnivore meaning it eats both plants and meat. The maned wolf with eat small mammals, birds, birds eggs, reptiles, insects, fruit and roots. They are also helpful to humans because they eat crop pests such as mice and other rodents. However, they will eat livestock such as lambs, baby pigs, and chickens. This species with hunt at dust and night. <P> The maned wolf is a top predator in its habitat with no known predator, however the young may be threatened by feral or domestic dogs. Social Organization Monogamous pairs are the basic unit of the maned wolves’ social organization. The pair share and defend a territory but may not spend much time together. Maned wolves resemble a red fox on stilts. Despite their reddish coloring and general appearance they are not related to foxes and despite their name, they are not members of the wolf family. The maned wolf is a wild dog of South America. <P> The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is the largest canid of South America. Its markings resemble those of foxes, but it is not a fox, nor is it a wolf, as it is not closely related to other canids. It is the only species in the genus Chrysocyon (meaning golden dog ). The average adult weighs 23 kg (51 lb) and stands 90 cm (35 in) tall at the shoulder, has a head-body length of 100 cm (39 in) with the tail adding another 45 cm (18 in).

what is the average deadlift for a person | <P> Intermediate lifters with a couple of years in weight training average 285 pounds for the squat, 215 pounds for the bench press, and 335 pounds for the deadlift. Advanced lifters with multiple years of training experience average 390 pounds for the squat, 290 pounds on the bench press, and 460 pounds for the deadlift. In the U.S., the average male over the age of 20 weighs 196 pounds. Since only 29 percent of Americans weight train enough to meet recommended guidelines -- according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- the average male is considered untrained. <P> With about two years of training, you should be able to deadlift 335 pounds at the intermediate level and hit 460 pounds as an advanced lifter with additional years of training. An elite lifter -- one who competes in strength sports -- can expect to deadlift 565 pounds. If you’re a skinny guy aged 18 to 40 and weigh just 114 pounds, you can probably deadlift 95 pounds without training. If you’re much bigger at 242 pounds, you likely can start at around 170 pounds. <P> I would always assume that a fit guy would be able to lift his body weight on the big compound moves, so bench, squat, deadlift. Anything above that and you're pretty in shape. You'll hear people talk about the strength to weight ratio, 1:1 is a decent place to be for your average guy I would guess. Like (0 likes). <P> For a something a bit more challenging, a 200-pound overhead press, 300-pound bench press, 400-pound squat and 500-pound deadlift for a single lift are impressive numbers for a drug-free, genetically “average” male weighing around 190 pounds. Relative to bodyweight, these 200, 300, 400 and 500 numbers are roughly the equivalent to 1 for the overhead press, 1.5 for the bench press, 2 for the squat and 2.5 for the deadlift. For strength standards that take your bodyweight, gender and training age into account, use the numbers in the tables linked below. <P> If You Weigh More or Less Than 200. Deadlift averages vary according to your weight, with smaller, lighter guys able to lift a higher proportion of their body weight. If you’re a skinny guy aged 18 to 40 and weigh just 114 pounds, you can probably deadlift 95 pounds without training. If you’re much bigger at 242 pounds, you likely can start at around 170 pounds.

Novice weight trainers -- weighing 198 pounds, the nearest cutoff to the average American male -- with several months of experience average 230 pounds for the squat, 175 pounds for the bench press and 290 pounds for the deadlift -- according to Kilgore's strength standards. In the U.S., the average male over the age of 20 weighs 196 pounds. Since only 29 percent of Americans weight train enough to meet recommended guidelines -- according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- the average male is considered untrained. <P> The recovery is also faster. The average person should eventually be able to bench press 1 x BW+ for a solid set. This means that if you weight 170 lbs and have average genetics, things will start to get real hard after you reach 170 lbs x 6-8. Anything beyond that will take more effort. Most people are able to squat 20% more with the low bar variation. For people with average genetics 1.5 times their bodyweight (1.5 x BW) or a little bit more is the point beyond which things start to get really hard. <P> It also really depends on what type of squat you’re doing.

With this in mind, the average untrained man can squat 125 pounds, bench press 135 pounds and deadlift 155 pounds. In the U.S., the average male over the age of 20 weighs 196 pounds. Since only 29 percent of Americans weight train enough to meet recommended guidelines -- according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- the average male is considered untrained. <P> Intermediate. An intermediate lifter has been training nearly one to two years. Technique has been developed, and strength built through many repetitions of the deadlift. If you are a male intermediate deadlifter, on average you will lift approximately 150 percent of your bodyweight. If you are a female intermediate lifter, you will lift approximately 118 percent of your bodyweight. | The average untrained man can squat 125 pounds, bench press 135 pounds and deadlift 155 pounds. |

what is nerve cell function hearing | <P> A neuron (/ˈnjʊərɒn/ NYEWR-on or /ˈnʊərɒn/ NEWR-on; also known as a neurone or nerve cell) is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals. These signals between neurons occur via synapses, specialized connections with other cells. A typical neuron consists of a cell body (soma), dendrites, and an axon. The term neurite is used to describe either a dendrite or an axon, particularly in its undifferentiated stage. <P> Auditory Nerve. Usually, hearing loss that is called sensorineural or nerve deafness is actually caused by problems with the cochlea, instead of the actual auditory nerve, but a very small percentage of hearing loss is caused by problems with the nerve, itself ... usually related to acoustic neuromas (tumors) on the nerve covering. <P> Each hair cell is connected to a neuron from the cochlear branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve that transmits auditory information to the brain. Static equilibrium-the sense of which direction gravity is pulling on the body-is detected by the otolithic membranes in the vestibule of the inner ear. Click to read more below. The ear is a group of sensory organs in the head that collaborate to produce the sense of hearing. Together these organs perform the amazing function of converting sound waves in air into electrical signals to transmit to the brain. <P> Neurons are nerve cells, or cells found in the nervous system. These are specialized cells designed to stimulate other cells in the body in order to communicate. Neurons are excitable, which means they function by using electrical stimulation. <P> The key structure in the vertebrate auditory and vestibular systems is the hair cell. The hair cell first appeared in fish as part of a long, thin array along the side of the body, sensing movements in the water. <P> A human body is made up f number of cells. A nerve cell is defined as the cells of nervous system, which controls all types of body activities. The nerve cells are specialized cells, which transmits message from one part to another part of the body. <P> Since auditory neuropathy is characterized by normal outer hair cell function and abnormal function in the region of the inner hair cells and/or auditory nerve, the appropriate auditory tests are those sensitive to cochlear and auditory nerve function. Auditory neuropathy is a term presently used to describe a condition, found in some patients ranging in age from infants to adults, in which the patient displays auditory characteristics consistent with normal outer hair cell function and abnormal neural function at the level of the VIIIth (vestibulo-cochlear) nerve. <P> This is the nerve along which the sensory cells (the hair cells) of the inner ear transmit information to the brain. It consists of the cochlear nerve, carrying information about hearing, and the vestibular nerve, carrying information about balance. The vestibulocochlear nerve (auditory vestibular nerve) , known as the eighth cranial nerve, transmits sound and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear to the brain. 1 1 Structure. | Each hair cell is connected to a neuron from the cochlear branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve that transmits auditory information to the brain. |

Which lobe of the brain is associated with the taste (gustatory) area | <P> 10 hilariously insightful foreign words. The gustatory cortex is the area of the brain that controls the sense of taste. It is made of two parts: the frontal operculum and the anterior insula. As part of the gustatory system, the cortex has a network of paths and receptors that process taste information, including the type of taste and intensity. Receptors do not process all of the tastes, however, and there are different receptors to handle each type of taste. <P> From the gustatory area, the sensory information is processed by the brain and relayed through the rest of the body. Ad. Taste receptors are located in the mouth, particularly on the tongue and soft palate, pharynx, and upper esophagus. These receptors are activated by nerves. As part of the gustatory system, the cortex has a network of paths and receptors that process taste information, including the type of taste and intensity. Receptors do not process all of the tastes, however, and there are different receptors to handle each type of taste. <P> Of course, we have to know what we are eating, so taste, smell, and trigeminal messages meet in a part of the brain called the insula (not shown in the image above), which identifies what the flavor is. <P> thalamus. -a major relay station for sensory information ascending to primary sensory areas of the cerebral cortex. contains many specialized nuclei. -afferent impulses from all senses and all parts of the body converge here and synapse with atleast one of its nuclei <P> The gustatory cortex is the brain structure responsible for the perception of taste. It consists of the anterior insula on the insular lobe and the frontal operculum on the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe. Neurons in the gustatory cortex respond to the five main tastes. Introduction [edit]. The Gustatory System or sense of taste allows us to perceive different flavors from substances like food, drinks, medicine etc. Molecules that we taste or tastants are sensed by cells in our mouth, which send information to the brain. <P> Acronym: Also known as: gustatory area, gustatory areas, primary taste cortex NeuroNames ID: 1358. The term gustatory cortex refers to the areas of cerebral cortex involved functionally in taste perception. The locations to which it is attributed varies by species, by method of detection, and by author. <P> A human body has different areas to process sensory information, and the gustatory cortex is the area that handles tastes. It is the brain structure that relays information about the type of taste in addition to information about a taste's intensity. As part of the gustatory system, the cortex has a network of paths and receptors that process taste information, including the type of taste and intensity. Receptors do not process all of the tastes, however, and there are different receptors to handle each type of taste. <P> Though some areas of the human brain that receive primary sensory information remain poorly defined, each of the five sensory modalities has been recognized to relate to specific groups of brain cells that begin to categorize and integrate sensory information. The primary sensory areas are the main cerebral areas that receive sensory information from thalamic nerve projections. <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The primary gustatory cortex is a brain structure responsible for the perception of taste. It consists of two substructures: the anterior insula on the insular lobe and the frontal operculum on the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe. Because of its composition the primary gustatory cortex is sometimes referred to in literature as the AI/FO(Anterior Insula/Frontal Operculum). By using extracellular unit recording techniques, scientists have elucidated that neurons in the AI/FO respond to sweetness, saltiness, bitterness, and sourness, and they code the intensity of the taste stimulus. | It consists of the anterior insula on the insular lobe and the frontal operculum on the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe. |

how long should I keep tax returns for a deceased person | <P> Although the IRS's statute of limitations for an audit is three years, tax experts recommend that you retain all tax records for seven years in the event that there are questions about the deceased person's final return. In addition, each state has its own requirements. Which Records to Keep. Additional records besides the deceased's final tax return need to be retained. A quick list of items to keep 1 : Paper copies of pay stubs, insurance policy statements, credit card statements, bank and investment statements and receipts that aren't tied to deductions can be shredded after one year. <P> Keep proof of income and expenses for the same time you keep the tax return. For income, this includes W-2s, 1099s, bank or brokerage statements and K-1s. Keep proof of payments for any expenses claimed as a deduction on the tax return such as medical bills, charitable donations and real estate taxes. If the return that was filed had fraudulent information or a final return was not filed, there is no limit on the number of years the IRS can look at past returns. If none of the above applies and additional tax is owed, the period of limitation is 3 years. <P> Fill out form 1041 to file estate taxes. Form 1041, US Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, is the form you need to report income, gains, losses, and so on related to the decedent's estate. The form must be filed on or before April 15 of the year following the person's death. Decide whether to file a joint return. If the decedent was married at the time of death, a joint tax return may be filed for that tax year. Either the spouse of the decedent or the executor may fill out and file the return. A full standard deduction may be claimed, and joint-return rates used. <P> So if the IRS hasn't raised any issues about your 2004 tax return by now, then it should be safe to shred and discard it. Seven Years. Keep any tax return and documentation that includes a claim for deducting worthless securities for seven years. There you have it. Here is what you should keep and how long you should keep it. Three Years. Keep your federal and state income tax returns and related receipts and statements for at least three years. <P> The IRS defines several periods of limitations that define how long you need to keep the tax return. If you did not report income your parent received that you should have, and it is more than 25 percent of the gross income shown on the return, the IRS can look back 6 years. If the return that was filed had fraudulent information or a final return was not filed, there is no limit on the number of years the IRS can look at past returns. If none of the above applies and additional tax is owed, the period of limitation is 3 years. <P> Rules for Filing Estate Returns. If the deceased person has an estate plan or trust in place and her assets generate more than $600 in annual income, you will need to file an estate return using Form 1041. This is separate from the individual return, although both should be retained for seven years. Which Records to Keep. Additional records besides the deceased's final tax return need to be retained. A quick list of items to keep 1 : Paper copies of pay stubs, insurance policy statements, credit card statements, bank and investment statements and receipts that aren't tied to deductions can be shredded after one year. <P> Any income earned after the person's death is considered the estate's income, and if it's more than $600 you will also need to file a tax return for the estate (Form 1041, Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts). Decide whether to file a joint return. If the decedent was married at the time of death, a joint tax return may be filed for that tax year. Either the spouse of the decedent or the executor may fill out and file the return. A full standard deduction may be claimed, and joint-return rates used. <P> My rule: Keep records and tax returns for years that include atypical transactions (sales or donations of property) and irregular income (stock option exercises, trust income, etc.) for six years after the filing date of the return. Keep a 2005 tax return that includes reporting of irregular items until April 2012. Here is what you should keep and how long you should keep it. Three Years. Keep your federal and state income tax returns and related receipts and statements for at least three years. <P> In most cases, you should plan on keeping tax returns along with any supporting documents (e.g., W-2s, mileage logs if you itemize, etc.) for a period of at least three years following the date you filed or the due date of your tax return, whichever is later. In some cases, you may need to hang onto your records longer than three years. For instance, you should plan on keeping tax forms for retirement accounts such as IRAs until seven years after the account is completely wiped out. | Seven years |

what are the three major groups of protists | <P> Algae use various combinations of the major chlorophyll pigments, chlorophyll a, b, and c, mixed with a wide array of other pigments that give some of them very distinctive colors. 2. Some protists are heterotrophs, a group of phyla called the protozoa. Heterotrophs get their energy by consuming other organisms. Protists reproduce asexually by binary fission, and a few species are capable of sexual reproduction. All protists are aquatic. Many protists can move through the water by means of flagella, or cilia, or pseudopodia (= false feet). Cilia and flagella are tiny movable hairs. Motile cells usually have one or two long flagella, or numerous shorter cilia. <P> 1 Red algae and green algae include unicellular species, colonial species, and multicellular species. 2 These protists have a special photosynthetic species that are the base of the food web in some habitats. 1 Stramenopiles main characteristic is the flagellum that each protist has. 2 In most protists in this phylum, the hairy flagellum is paired with a short smooth flagellum. o Diatoms: Diatoms are unicellular and are producers of the food chain. 3 These organisms have a cell wall that is made of silica. <P> Protists are a taxonomic Kingdom (Protista) of eukaryotes, which include the ciliates, flagellates, amoeba, and algae. It is a very diverse group of organisms with both unicellular and multicellular forms, and are capable of everything from photosynthesis to predatory behavior. <P> Most protists are single celled – Protists include any eukaryote that is not a plant, animal, or fungus –Most protists are single-celled and microscopic in size –Some are large aggregations or colonies of single-celled individuals; others are multicellular organisms. Table 20-1. Protists use diverse modes of nutrition –Protists that ingest food are typically predators –They use extensions of the cell membrane called pseudopods to surround and engulf prey items. <P> 1 1. MAJORGROUPS:PROTIST’SDomain: Eukarya Kingdom:Protista. 2 2. 3 Chromalveolata To determine if a protist species is a part of this phylum is based on two pieces of confirmation. 4 First of all, some of the DNA sequence data propose that this phylum forms a monophyletic group. 1 Stramenopiles main characteristic is the flagellum that each protist has. 2 In most protists in this phylum, the hairy flagellum is paired with a short smooth flagellum. o Diatoms: Diatoms are unicellular and are producers of the food chain. 3 These organisms have a cell wall that is made of silica. <P> Best Answer: Animal like protists Plant like protists Fungus like protists Hope this helps. Edit: Animal like protists are protists with animal characteristics. They are sometimes referred to as protozoa. They are heterotrophs, and they are mobile. An example is a paramecium. Plant like protists are protists with plant like characteristics. Most carry out photosynthesis. Most of us are familiar with algae, which fall in this category. Fungus like protists are protists with plant like characteristics <P> Protists were traditionally subdivided into several groups based on similarities to the higher kingdoms: the unicellular animal-like protozoa, the plant-like protophyta (mostly unicellular algae), and the fungus-like slime molds and water molds. Among the pioneers in the study of the protists, which were almost ignored by Linnaeus except for some algae, were Leeuwenhoek, O. F. Mueller, Müller. C. G ehrenberg And Felix. Félix dujardin the first groups used to classify microscopic organism Were the animalcules And. the infusoria <P> The groups of protists are classified according to how they obtain nutrition. animal-like protists are heterotrophs, fungus-like protists are decomposers, and plantlike protis … ts are autotrophs. 12 people found this useful. <P> Characteristics of Protists. Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plant, animal, or fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but some, like algae, are multicellular. Kelp, or 'seaweed,' is a large multicellular protist that provides food, shelter, and oxygen for numerous underwater ecosystems. The fungus-like protists are the slime molds and water molds. They are mostly single-celled organisms that live in the moist soil of forest floors and compost piles. These heterotrophs absorb nutrients from decaying organic matter and move in the same fashion as amoebas by extending and pulling with pseudopodia. <P> 1 7. 2 Archaeplastida This group includes red, green algae, and land plants. 3 Red algae and green algae include unicellular species, colonial species, and multicellular species. 4 These protists have a special photosynthetic species that are the base of the food web in some habitats. 1 Stramenopiles main characteristic is the flagellum that each protist has. 2 In most protists in this phylum, the hairy flagellum is paired with a short smooth flagellum. o Diatoms: Diatoms are unicellular and are producers of the food chain. 3 These organisms have a cell wall that is made of silica. | Protozoa, Algae and Fungus |
what is included in flat service charge | <P> Service charges. Your lease sets out the way the service charge is organised and what can be charged. If you pay a service charge, you have the right to: 1 ask for a summary showing how the charge is worked out and what it’s spent on. <P> What is not included with traditional agent listings or flat fee MLS listings: 1 Listing agent attending showings with the buyer and their agent. 2 Insurance or legal assistance in the unlikely event a buyer sues a seller. <P> Service charges are collected for the maintenance, insurance, repair of the building and communal areas plus the employment of staff and management of the property. Service charges can be split in to three sections:-. Reserve funds – which are for long term expenditure, for example roof replacement. <P> Where leases do state more specifically how the service charges should be apportioned it is often by using a fraction or percentage, for example, if there are 10 flats then each flat will pay one tenth or 10% of the total service charges expenditure. <P> Paying a service charge. Check your tenancy agreement and your rent book carefully. If you are expected to pay a service charge, the landlord or agent should have included a clause relating to this payment. If there is no reference to additional service charges, you may be able to dispute your liability to pay. <P> Check your lease if you are not sure what your service charges cover. Most leases have a section that covers general services not specifically mentioned in the lease. If your lease doesn't have this type of clause, you don't have to pay for anything that isn't specifically includ <P> Service charges apportionment should be clarified in the lease, unfortunately this is not always done well, and leases often refer to the amount payable by each leaseholder to be fair and reasonable which could be determined to be, for example, the rateable value or the square footage of the property. | Agent should have included a clause relating to this payment. |
how often should you rotate the tires on a front wheel drive car | <P> BMW allows up to 15,000 miles between oil changes, but that is too long to wait to rotate the tires. Unless you drive fewer than about 7,500 miles per year, you should probably rotate tires every six months or so. <P> If you drive your car pretty hard, or have a four-wheel drive vehicle, you may want to rotate your tires a little more often than that. In these cases, having your tires rotated at 5,000 miles is a reasonable timeframe. <P> A good time to rotate your tires is when you get the oil changed, assuming you do that at least once a year and more often if you drive, say, more than 10,000 miles annually. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend that the tires be rotated on the same schedule as oil changes. <P> How often you rotate your vehicle’s tires will depend on several factors. Front-wheel drive vehicles usually require more frequent tire rotation than do rear-wheel driven vehicles. Four-wheel drive vehicles often require it more often than rear-wheel drive as well. Some vehicles require no rotation at all and others literally cannot have their tires rotated. <P> The front tires, however, usually wear out much faster than those on a rear-wheel drive car because they have the added burden of driving the vehicle as well as steering it. Tire life can be as little as 50,000 miles depending on the tread wear rating of the tires and the kind of driving you do. <P> How to Rotate Non-directional Tires. The tread pattern on non-directional tires is designed in such a way that the tire can be mounted on the wheel for any direction of rotation. So you can switch which side the tires are on when you rotate them. To rotate non-directional tires, use the cross pattern. <P> The rotation process differs depending on whether the vehicle is front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive. Tires should be rotated every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. <P> Rotating the tires between front and rear a couple of times a year spreads out the burden so they wear evenly. Automakers that offer all-wheel-drive cars also recommend rotating tires. Subaru, for example, says to do it every 7,500 miles or 7.5 months, whichever comes first. | 10,000 miles annually. |

what minerals does table salt contain | <P> “The minute amounts of trace minerals found in sea salt are easily obtained from other healthy foods,” Johnson said. “Sea salt also generally contains less iodine than table salt. <P> Available in coarse, fine and extra fine grain size. Manufacturers of sea salt typically do not refine sea salt as much as other kinds of salt, so it still contains up to 89 traces of other minerals, including iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, zinc and iodine. Table Salt. Table salt is the most common kind of salt found in the average kitchen <P> Common salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of salts; salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt or halite. Salt is present in vast quantities in seawater, where it is the main mineral constituent; the open ocean has about 35 grams (1.2 oz) of solids per litre, a salinity of 3.5%. <P> Although sea salt may contain more minerals than table salt, it's not a low-sodium alternative to table salt, as some people mistakenly assume. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, current dietary guidelines for Americans recommend consuming no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day. Sea salt contains an abundance of minerals, which are chemical elements required by all living organisms. Even though your body needs dietary minerals in small amounts, they're crucial for good health. When deciding among sea, kosher or table salt, sea salt is the mineral-rich winner. <P> Table Salt and Sea Salt. The different varieties of salt available for cooking can be dizzying, but all of them fall into four basic types: table salt, sea salt, kosher salt and rock salt. The first three types are food-grade salt and are required by the FDA to contain at least 97.5 percent sodium chloride. The other 2.5 percent is trace minerals, chemicals from processing or anti-caking agents. Table salt is either iodized or noniodized. Some sea salts are not as heavily processed as table salt, so they retain trace minerals that are usually removed in the refining process. Sea salt can be coarse, fine or flaky. It can be white, pink, black, gray or a combination of colors, depending on where it comes from and which minerals it contains. <P> Sea salt is a potentially rich source of minerals. Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value, according to MayoClinic.com. Table salt comes from salt mines and goes through extensive processing that strips it of many minerals. In contrast, sea salt comes from evaporated sea water. Trace minerals you may find in sea salt include phosphorus, bromine, boron, zinc, iron, manganese, copper and silicon. Your body uses some of these minerals, such as iron and zinc, to make enzymes involved in metabolism. <P> Most table salt also has added iodine, an essential nutrient that helps maintain a healthy thyroid. Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value, despite the fact that sea salt is often promoted as being healthier. Sea salt and table salt contain comparable amounts of sodium by weight. Whichever type of salt you enjoy, do so in moderation. Depending on the water source, this leaves behind certain trace minerals and elements. The minerals add flavor and color to sea salt, which also comes in a variety of coarseness levels. Table salt is typically mined from underground salt deposits. Table salt is more heavily processed to eliminate minerals and usually contains an additive to prevent clumping <P> Sea salt, which is created by evaporating sea water, typically involves little or no processing and contains no anti-clumping additives, unlike table salt. Whether coarse or finely ground, it contains more minerals than other salts because it comes from the sea. The additional minerals in sea salt contribute to its color and flavor. Table salt is mined from underground salt deposits, and kosher salt is derived from either seawater or underground sources. Sea salt contains an abundance of minerals, which are chemical elements required by all living organisms. Even though your body needs dietary minerals in small amounts, they're crucial for good health.

what is pv system | <P> Solar photovoltaic system or Solar power system is one of renewable energy system which uses PV modules to convert sunlight into electricity. The electricity generated can be either stored or used directly, fed back into grid line or combined with one or more other electricity generators or more renewable energy source. The first step in designing a solar PV system is to find out the total power and energy consumption of all loads that need to be supplied by the solar PV system as follows: 1.1 Calculate total Watt-hours per day for each appliance used. <P> Photovoltaic System Overview. Photovoltaic (PV) systems are used to convert sunlight into electricity. They are a safe, reliable, low-maintenance source of solar electricity that produces no on-site pollution or emissions. PV systems incur few operating costs and are easy to install on most Canadian homes. PV systems convert 5% to 20% of the incident solar energy into electricity, a small portion is reflected, and the rest gets converted into heat. Without dissipating this heat, PV panels heat up and their efficiencies start to decrease. <P> Grid-connected or utility-interactive PV systems are designed to operate in parallel with and interconnected with the electric utility grid. The primary component in grid-connected PV systems is the inverter, or power conditioning unit (PCU). In many stand-alone PV systems, batteries are used for energy storage. Figure 3 shows a diagram of a typical stand-alone PV system powering DC and AC loads. Figure 4 shows how a typical PV hybrid system might be configured. Figure 3. Diagram of stand-alone PV system with battery storage powering DC and AC loads. <P> 1 Photovoltaic (PV) systems, which convert sunlight directly to electricity by means of PV cells made of semiconductor materials. 2 Concentrating solar power (CSP) systems, which concentrate the sun's energy using reflective devices such as troughs or mirror panels to produce heat that is then used to generate electricity. <P> Photovoltaics (PV) is the name of a method of converting solar energy into direct current electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon commonly studied in physics, photochemistry and electrochemistry. The direct conversion of sunlight to electricity occurs without any moving parts or environmental emissions during operation. It is well proven, as photovoltaic systems have now been used for fifty years in specialized applications, and grid-connected PV systems have been in use for over twenty years. <P> Simply put, PV systems are like any other electrical power generating systems, just the equipment used is different than that used for conventional electromechanical generating systems. <P> These electrons can be induced to travel through a circuit as electricity. Solar cells are made from semiconductors such as silicon. They are designed with a positive and a negative layer to create an electric field similar to that of a battery. Configuring many cells in a circuit is the basis for a solar PV panel. Solar PV systems are groupings or “Arrays” of modules wired together and to other electrical devices, to produce, isolate, convert and distribute electrical power. <P> Typical System Components: PV Array: A PV Array is made up of PV modules, which are environmentally-sealed collections of PV Cells—the devices that convert sunlight to electricity. The most common PV module that is 5-to-25 square feet in size and weighs about 3-4 lbs./ft 2. | It is the name of a method of converting solar energy into direct current electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon commonly studied in physics, photochemistry and electrochemistry. |

what causes lice | <P> The cause of head lice is an infestation with a parasitic insect known as Pediculus humanus capitis. This parasite is more commonly known as head lice -- so both the condition and the parasite that causes it go by the same name. A head louse (head lice is plural) is a small, wingless insect. It has three pairs of legs located directly behind the head. <P> Head lice are small, wingless, blood-sucking insects. They live in the hair on your head and feed off the blood from your scalp. A louse (a single adult) is about the size of a sesame seed. Head lice are contagious. You can become infected with head lice when the insects crawl onto your head. Ways you might get head lice include: 1 touching your head to an infected person’s head. 2 sharing the personal items of someone with head lice. 3 using a fabric item after an infected person <P> Occasionally, head lice or body lice may be acquired from contact with clothing (such as hats, scarves, coats, etc.) or other personal items (such as bedding or towels) that belong to an infested person. This is the more common mode of transmission for body lice. The three kinds of lice that affect humans include: 1 Pediculus humanus capitis (head lice). 2 Pediculus humanus corporis (body lice). 3 Phthirus pubis (pubic lice or crab lice; also called crabs). <P> Itching, the most common symptom of all types of lice infestation, is caused by an allergic reaction. Lice bite the skin to feed on a person's blood. The saliva from these bites causes the allergic reaction and itching. Itching may not occur right away, depending on a person's sensitivity and history of lice infestation. Head lice. Head lice and their eggs (nits) can be seen on hair, the nape of the neck, and behind the ears. They can vary in color from white to brown to dark gray. The eggs are tiny round or oval shapes that are tightly attached to the hair near the scalp and do not slide up and down on the hair. <P> The cause of lice (known medically as pediculosis) is an infestation with one of three types of a parasitic insect. The three kinds of lice that affect humans include: 1 Pediculus humanus capitis (head lice). 2 Pediculus humanus corporis (body lice). 3 Phthirus pubis (pubic lice or crab lice; also called crabs). <P> Lice are very easily spread, usually through close personal contact. Lice infestation may be caused by any of the three types of lice: 1 Head lice may be spread through close personal contact, shared personal items (combs, brushes, hats, helmets, clothing, or earphones), or shared bedding. 2 Pubic lice are spread mainly through sexual contact and are very contagious. 1 Pubic lice are spread mainly through sexual contact and are very contagious. 2 Most people become infected after a single exposure to an infected person. 3 The lice and eggs may also survive long enough on personal items such as clothing or towels to be spread to another person. <P> Causes. A head louse is a tan or greyish insect about the size of a strawberry seed. It feeds on human blood that it extracts from the scalp. The female louse produces a sticky substance that adheres each egg to a hair shaft. An egg is attached approximately 3/16 inch (4 millimeters) from the base of the shaft — an environment that provides an ideal temperature for incubating the egg. A louse egg hatches after eight or nine days. What emerges is an immature form of the louse called a nymph. The nymph becomes a mature adult louse after nine to 12 days, and an adult lives for three to four weeks. <P> Head lice are parasites that can be found on the heads of people. Infection with head lice is called pediculosis. (The head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis, is different from the lice that cause body and pubic-hair infections.). Anyone who comes in close contact with someone who already has head lice, or even their contaminated clothing and other belongings, is at risk for acquiring head lice. So it is easy to transmit head lice from one person to another. | an infestation with one of three types of a parasitic insect.

what is guanfacine | <P> Guanfacine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. Guanfacine works by controlling the nerve impulses along certain nerve pathways. As a result, it relaxes the blood vessels so that blood passes through them more easily. This helps to lower blood pressure. <P> Overview Tenex is the brand name for Guanfacine, an antihypertensive medication. Guanfacine is in a class of drugs called alpha2-adrenergic agonists. It is usually used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) but is also sometimes used in the treatment of ADHD, as an alternative to stimulant medications. <P> PRESCRIBED FOR: Extended release guanfacine (Intuniv) is used alone or in combination with other medications for the treatment of ADHD. Immediate release guanfacine (Tenex) is used alone or in combination with other medications for the treatment of high blood pressure. Tenex is used alone or in combination with other medications for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Guanfacine reduces blood pressure by reducing the resistance of blood flow in the blood vessels, and by decreasing heart rate. <P> Guanfacine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. Guanfacine extended-release tablets are also used alone or together with other medicines to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents. <P> 2011 Feb 15;83(4):468-475. Guanfacine (Intuniv) is an extended-release, non–central nervous system stimulant approved for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children six to 17 years of age; however, it appears to be most effective in children 12 years or younger. <P> Guanfacine (brand name Estulic, Tenex and the extended release Intuniv) is a sympatholytic drug used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and hypertension. It is a selective α2A receptor agonist. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved guanfacine for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), like clonidine, alone or with stimulants in 2010, for pediatric patients aged 6–17 years. <P> Guanfacine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. | Guanfacine is a sympatholytic drug used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and hypertension. |
what caused the plague | <P> 1 In the Middle Ages, plague was known as the Black Death and caused the death of 60% of the population of Europe. 2 Transmission occurs via fleas that feed on infected animals, typically wild rodents. 3 There are three forms of plague in humans: bubonic plague, septicemic plague, and pneumonic plague. <P> Bubonic plague is the most common form of plague. Bubonic plague is caused by Yersinia pestis, also known as plague bacteria. This bacteria also causes the other two forms of plague: septicemic plague and pneumonic plague (see Types of Plague) . <P> Overview. Plague is an infectious disease caused by bacteria called Yersinia pestis. These bacteria are found mainly in rodents, particularly rats, and in the fleas that feed on them. Other animals and humans usually contract the bacteria from rodent or flea bites. Historically, plague destroyed entire civilizations. <P> Plague is a bacterial disease, caused by Yersinia pestis, which primarily affects wild rodents. It is spread from one rodent to another by fleas. Humans bitten by an infected flea usually develop a bubonic form of plague, which is characterized by a bubo, i.e. a swelling of the lymph node draining the flea bite site. <P> The plague is a serious bacterial infection that can be deadly. Sometimes referred to as the black plague, the disease is caused by bacteria called Yersinia pestis. This bacteria is found on animals throughout the world and is usually transmitted to humans through fleas. <P> 1 Plague is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria known as Yersinia pestis. 2 Plague has a high fatality rate and has been described for centuries. 3 In the Middle Ages, plague was known as the Black Death and caused the death of 60% of the population of Europe. | Yersinia pestis. |
what is thymus hyperplasia | <P> Summary. The condition of true thymic hyperplasia is defined as an increase of both size and weight of the gland while it maintains normal microscopic architecture. It occurs in three different clinicopathologic forms: (1) True thymic hyperplasia without any other disease is extremely rare and only seven well documented examples could be found in a review of the literature. <P> Thymus hyperplasia. Thymus hyperplasia refers to an enlargement of the thymus. It is not always a disease state. The size of the thymus usually peaks during adolescence, and atrophies in the following decades. Before the immune function of the thymus was well understood, the enlargement was sometimes seen as a cause for alarm, and justification for surgical reduction. This approach is much less common today. <P> Abstract. A rare case of thymic follicular hyperplasia manifested as an asymptomatic anterior mediastinal mass in a 44-year-old man is herein reported. The resected thymus showed prominent medullary lymphoid follicles, an increased number of Hassall's corpuscles, and cysts of varying sizes. <P> Download PDF (428 KB). The condition of true thymic hyperplasia is defined as an increase of both size and weight of the gland while it maintains normal microscopic architecture. It occurs in three different clinicopathologic forms: (1) True thymic hyperplasia without any other disease is extremely rare and only seven well documented examples could be found in a review of the literature. <P> Thymus Hyperplasia: Introduction. Thymus Hyperplasia: Enlargement of the thymus gland. Enlargement of the thymus not resulting from any disease process is very rare and is generally not a problem. Some cases of thymic hyperplasia are the result of cancer e.g. thymoma. It may also be associated with other conditions such as sarcoidosis or may be a response to such things as steroid administration. <P> Massive thyrnic hyperplasia (MTH), a rare variant of hyperplasia of the thymus, is known to cause mediastinal compression or acute and recurrent respiratory infections in the pediatric age group. It needs to be distinguished from other commonly seen masses of the anterior mediastinum 2. MTH is a rare condition of abnornial thymic growth 3. Thymus can be quite prominent in the newborn but very little to be seen after the age of two years 4. Confusion arises to differentiate the thymic hyperplasia from both normal and abnormal condition of thymic growth. <P> As the thymus is the organ of T-cell development, any congenital defect in thymic genesis or a defect in thymocyte development can lead to a profound T cell deficiency in primary immunodeficiency disease. The thymus is a specialized primary lymphoid organ of the immune system. Within the thymus, T cells or T lymphocytes mature. T cells are critical to the adaptive immune system, where the body adapts specifically to foreign invaders. <P> Thymus hyperplasia (or thymic hyperplasia) refers to an enlargement ( hyperplasia ) of the thymus. It is not always a disease state. The size of the thymus usually peaks during adolescence, and atrophies in the following decades. Before the immune function of the thymus was well understood, the enlargement was sometimes seen as a cause for alarm, and justification for surgical reduction. <P> There are two morphologic forms of thymus hyperplasia associated with Graves' disease: lymphoid hyperplasia and true hyperplasia. The first is characterized by a thymus medullary lymphoid-follicle formation that is not visualized as an enlargement of the anterior mediastinal compartment. In contrast, the second form, true hyperplasia, presents as an increase in thymic tissue. | An enlargement ( hyperplasia ) of the thymus. |
what does keratin do for skin | <P> Keratin (/ˈkɛrətɪn/) is a family of fibrous structural proteins. Keratin is the key structural material making up the outer layer of human skin. It is the key structural component of hair and nails, and it provides the necessary strength and toughness for masticatory organs, such as the tongue and the hard palate. <P> Keratin is a structural protein that make up the outer layers of our skin, hair, and nails. Keratin is a family of proteins that are among the most important and versatile compounds produced in nature. Like all proteins, keratin is made up of amino acids. <P> Best Answer: Keratin, is the protein that makes up your skin. Keratin is a cornified (hardend) layer of protein that prevents moisture loss (or saturation) and protects your skin from the elements. Your hair and nails are also made up of keratin. Keratin is not alive. the growing parts of your skin and nails and hair are under the keratinized layer or have a root stock (like hair and nails) from which they grow. Source(s): RN. phantomlimb7 · 9 years ago. <P> Keratins do not necessarily do anything to the skin --- they basically are the skin. If you are referring to some type of keratin product you apply to the skin or hair, it will help to restructure the physical condition of the hair and skin, making it healthier. Your hair and nails are also made up of keratin. Keratin is not alive. the growing parts of your skin and nails and hair are under the keratinized layer or have a root stock (like hair and nails) from which they grow. Source(s): RN. phantomlimb7 · 9 years ago. <P> Functional keratin in skin products can reinforce that protective outer layer, keeping skin healthy. You can use it to either repair existing damage or to protect your healthy skin: keeping it well-guarded against damaging heat, chemicals or friction. In our skin, the outer layer (the epidermis) is made up of a layer of dead keratin cells, pushed to the surface by new keratin cells growing underneath. <P> Keratin is a class of fibrous proteins, and your outer layer of skin is mainly composed of this protein. Sometimes, your body malfunctions when producing this protein, and it build up under a hair follicle near the top layer of skin; it then produces a plug that rises to the surface. <P> Keratin is a protein found naturally in skin, hair and nails, in addition to other sources. In human hair, it acts both as an external protective shield and an internal structural protein. Keratin is the first thing depleted when hair is damaged physically, chemically or from environmental factors such as the sun. <P> Keratin is an extremely strong protein that is a major component in skin, hair, nails, hooves, horns, and teeth. The amino acids which combine to form it have several unique properties and, depending on the levels of the various amino acids, it can be inflexible and hard, like hooves, or soft, as is the case with skin. Damage to the external layer of keratin can cause skin, hair, and nails to look unhealthy or flaky. Hair and nails on humans especially tend to become dry and brittle, because the dead keratin is being pushed to great lengths. <P> A cow's skin, fur, nails, hooves, horns, and teeth all contain keratin. Keratin is a protein found in skin cells. Some people use keratin hair products to help damaged hair regain elasticity and strength. Keratin can be used to strengthen brittle nails, which may occur as a result of constant submersion in water. Keratinocytes produce the skin's keratin. Damage to the external layer of keratin can cause skin, hair, and nails to look unhealthy or flaky. Hair and nails on humans especially tend to become dry and brittle, because the dead keratin is being pushed to great lengths. <P> Keratin is specific type of protein that composes our skin, nails, hair, horns, teeth and hooves. It is made up of amino acids of certain type which combines together to create special characteristics of keratin. The level of amino acids decides the flexibility or hardness of keratin. It can be hard like hooves or even smooth like skin. The keratin we see or touch is dead. The skin, hair and nails are made up of dead cells which are shed by the body for growing new You do not have access to view this node. | It is the key structural material making up the outer layer of human skin. |
