what is dexdomitor | <P> If Dexdomitor is accidentally self-injected or taken by mouth, seek medical advice immediately and show the Package Leaflet or the label to the doctor. However, do not drive due to the risk of sedation and changes in blood pressure. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes or mucosa (moist body surfaces). Vomiting may occur five to 10 minutes after injection or at the time of recovery. Muscle tremors (shaking) and corneal opacities (cloudy spots in the cornea, the clear part of the eye in front of the pupil) may occur during sedation. Other side-effects can occur when DEXDOMITOR is used with other medicines. <P> DEXDOMITOR is indicated for use as a sedative and analgesic in dogs and cats to facilitate clinical examinations, clinical procedures, minor surgical procedures and minor dental procedures. DEXDOMITOR also is effective as a preanesthetic in dogs and cats prior to general anesthesia. DEXDOMITOR is approved for use in dogs as young as 16 weeks of age and cats as young as 12 weeks of age. Key Benefits. 1 Protocol flexibility for both surgical and non-surgical procedures. <P> Dexmedetomidine (trade name Dexdomitor) is commonly used as a sedative, anxiolytic, and anesthetic adjunct in dogs and cats. It is formulated in a much higher concentration (500 µg/ml) and given at a much higher dose in small animals than in humans. Dexmedetomidine is indicated for sedation of critically ill or injured patients in an intensive care unit setting. Its indication in the US was recently expanded to include nonintubated patient requiring sedation for surgery or procedures short-term. <P> Dexdomitor contains the active substance dexmedetomidine, which belongs to a class of medicines having a psycholeptic (sedative) action. It is a solution for injection (0.1 mg/ml and 0.5 mg/ml). <P> Dexmedetomidine (trade names Precedex [US market], Dexdor [European market], Dexdomitor) is a sedative medication used by intensive care units and anesthesiologists. Dexmedetomidine is indicated for sedation of critically ill or injured patients in an intensive care unit setting. Its indication in the US was recently expanded to include nonintubated patient requiring sedation for surgery or procedures short-term. <P> 1 Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride is a synthetic alpha-2-adrenergic agonist with sedative and analgesic properties (non-narcotic). 2 Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride is given by intramuscular (in the muscle) and/or intravenous (in the vein) injection in dogs and cats. Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride is a sedative with analgesic properties used in dogs and cats to enable physical exams, various clinical and/or surgical and dental procedures. It may also be given as a premedication prior to general anesthesia in dogs. <P> If you want more information on the basis of the CVMP recommendations, read the scientific discussion (also part of the EPAR). Dexdomitor contains the active substance dexmedetomidine, which belongs to a class of medicines having a psycholeptic (sedative) action. It is a solution for injection (0.1 mg/ml and 0.5 mg/ml). <P> Like clonidine, it is an agonist of α2-adrenergic receptors in certain parts of the brain. It is the S-enantiomer of medetomidine, used in veterinary medicine. Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride is also used in veterinary medicine for dogs and cats. The drug was developed by Orion Pharma. Dexmedetomidine is indicated for sedation of critically ill or injured patients in an intensive care unit setting. Its indication in the US was recently expanded to include nonintubated patient requiring sedation for surgery or procedures short-term. <P> The active substance in Dexdomitor, dexmedetomidine, is an alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist. It works by preventing the release of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline from nerve cells in the body. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that allow nerve cells to communicate with each other. Vomiting may occur five to 10 minutes after injection or at the time of recovery. Muscle tremors (shaking) and corneal opacities (cloudy spots in the cornea, the clear part of the eye in front of the pupil) may occur during sedation.

how is astatine used | <P> Overview. Astatine is a member of the halogen family, elements in Group 17 (VIIA) of the periodic table. It is one of the rarest elements in the universe. Scientists believe that no more than 25 grams exist on the Earth 's surface. All isotopes of astatine are radioactive and decay into other elements. <P> Astatine’s Periodic Table Neighborhood. Astatine is the heaviest verified element in Group 17. Like the other halogens, it is a nonmetal, although it shows more metallic character in its chemistry than the others. Astatine and the elements on either side of it, polonium and radon, have no stable isotopes. <P> All isotopes of astatine are radioactive and decay into other elements. For this reason, the element's properties are difficult to study. What is known is that it has properties similar to those of the other halogens— fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. Because it is so rare, it has essentially no uses. Astatine is far too rare to have any uses. Some research suggests a possible medical use, however. Astatine is similar to the elements above it in Group 17 (VIIA) of the periodic table, especially iodine. One property of iodine is that it tends to collect in the thyroid gland <P> Overview.

Astatine is similar to the elements above it in Group 17 (VIIA) of the periodic table, especially iodine. One property of iodine is that it tends to collect in the thyroid gland <P> Astatine is an extremely radioactive element; all its isotopes have short half-lives of 8.1 hours or less, decaying into bismuth, polonium, radon, or other astatine isotopes. Most of its isotopes are very unstable with half-lives of one second or less. Lighter astatine isotopes have quite high energies of alpha decay, which become lower as the nuclei become heavier. Astatine-211 has a significantly higher energy than the previous isotope, because it has a nucleus with 126 neutrons, and 126 is a magic number corresponding to a filled neutron shell. <P> Astatine is a very rare radioactive chemical element with the chemical symbol At and atomic number 85. It occurs on Earth as the decay product of various heavier elements. Lighter astatine isotopes have quite high energies of alpha decay, which become lower as the nuclei become heavier. Astatine-211 has a significantly higher energy than the previous isotope, because it has a nucleus with 126 neutrons, and 126 is a magic number corresponding to a filled neutron shell. <P> Uses. There are currently no uses for astatine outside of research. The half-life of the most stable isotope is only 8 hours, and only tiny amounts have ever been produced. A mass spectrometer has been used to confirm that astatine behaves chemically like other halogens, particularly iodine. Astatine is the least reactive of the halogens but just like the rest of them it combines with hydrogen to make hydrogen astatide which dissolves in water to make hydroastatic acid; it is just like a weaker version of hydrochloric acid. <P> The following uses for astatine are gathered from a number of sources as well as from anecdotal comments.

what is microalbumin | <P> Test Overview. A microalbumin test checks urine for the presence of a protein called albumin. Albumin is normally found in the blood and filtered by the kidneys. When the kidneys are working properly, albumin is not present in the urine. But when the kidneys are damaged, small amounts of albumin leak into the urine. 1 A blood test to check creatinine levels is often done with a microalbumin urine test. 2 To learn more, see the topic Creatinine and Creatinine Clearance. 3 A less precise test, the urine dipstick test, can be used to check for microalbuminuria in a single sample of urine. <P> Guide. An albumin test checks urine for a protein called albumin. Albumin is normally found in the blood and filtered by the kidneys. When the kidneys are working as they should, there may be a very small amount of albumin in the urine. But when the kidneys are damaged, abnormal amounts of albumin leak into the urine. This is called albuminuria <P> Reference Range. Microalbuminuria is defined as excretion of 30–300 mg of albumin per 24 hours (or 20–200 mcg/min or 30–300 mcg/mg creatinine) on 2 of 3 urine collections. The detection of low levels of albumin excretion (microalbuminuria) has been linked to the identification of incipient diabetic kidney disease. <P> Microalbuminuria can be diagnosed from a 24-hour urine collection (between 30–300 mg/24 hours) or, more commonly, from elevated concentrations in a spot sample (30 to 300 mg/L). Both must be measured on at least two of three measurements over a two-to three-month period. The term 'microalbuminuria' is now discouraged by KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) and has been replaced by 'moderately increased albuminuria'. <P> A microalbumin test checks urine for the presence of a protein called albumin. Microalbuminuria is most often caused by kidney damage from diabetes. The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. 1 A blood test to check creatinine levels is often done with a microalbumin urine test. 2 To learn more, see the topic Creatinine and Creatinine Clearance. 3 A less precise test, the urine dipstick test, can be used to check for microalbuminuria in a single sample of urine. <P> A total microalbumin test measures the total amount of albumin in all of the urine your body makes in 24 hours. For a total microalbumin test, you need to collect and save all of the urine you make in 24 hours. This urine test measures very small amounts of a protein called albumin. Your liver makes albumin and your body uses it to grow and repair tissues and to help your body get rid of extra fluid. Another test to check the level of a substance called creatinine in the urine is usually done at the same time. <P> Microalbuminuria is a term to describe a moderate increase in the level of urine albumin. It occurs when the kidney leaks small amounts of albumin into the urine, in other words, when there is an abnormally high permeability for albumin in the glomerulus of the kidney. The term 'microalbuminuria' is now discouraged by KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) and has been replaced by 'moderately increased albuminuria'. <P> The microalbuminuria test is a urine test that measures the amount of albumin in your urine. If kidney damage has occurred, albumin will leak into the bloodstream and will be present in the urine. The microalbuminuria test is also known as: 1 the ACR test. 2 the albumin-to-creatinine ratio test. 3 the urine albumin test. When kidney damage occurs, creatinine levels in the urine decrease while albumin levels may increase. Measuring the amount of albumin in the urine is important for detecting the presence of kidney damage. Kidney damage can lead to kidney failure, requiring the patient to undergo dialysis. <P> When your kidneys are healthy, very little albumin is present in the urine and the microalbumin/creatinine ratio is low. The level of albumin in your urine may be higher than normal because of kidney disease. Common causes of kidney disease include diabetes, high blood pressure, and autoimmune disorders. This urine test measures very small amounts of a protein called albumin. Your liver makes albumin and your body uses it to grow and repair tissues and to help your body get rid of extra fluid.

what does angiodysplasia mean | <P> Galdabini first used the name angiodysplasia in 1974; however, confusion about the exact nature of these lesions resulted in a multitude of terms that included arteriovenous malformation, hemangioma, telangiectasia, and vascular ectasia. <P> Background. Angiodysplasia is the most common vascular lesion of the gastrointestinal tract, and this condition may be asymptomatic, or it may cause gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. The vessel walls are thin, with little or no smooth muscle, and the vessels are ectatic and thin (see image below). <P> Angiodysplasia Symptoms. In most cases, angiodysplasia is asymptomatic by nature but it may manifest itself in a variety of forms. In most cases, the signs of angiodysplasia include feebleness, lethargy, and breathlessness, defecation of tarred stool which may be bright red, dark or black in color. <P> Angiodysplasia may also be caused by a condition characterized by colon spasms that may lead to an enlargement of the blood vessels of the area affected. Moreover, an inflammation of the blood vessels creates a narrow passage between the artery and the vein known as arteriovenous fistula. <P> Causes. Angiodysplasia of the colon is mostly related to the aging and degeneration of the blood vessels. It is more common in older adults. It is almost always seen on the right side of the colon. Most likely, the problem develops out of normal spasms of the colon that lead to the enlargement of blood vessels in the area. <P> Angiodysplasia is the most common vascular lesion of the gastrointestinal tract, and this condition may be asymptomatic, or it may cause gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. <P> Angiodysplasia is a medical condition in which the intestine is malformed or twisted, causing blood vessels to enlarge and become fragile and eventually causing tears or lesions in the intestinal wall. | Angiodysplasia is the most common vascular lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. |
what hormone controls satiety | <P> Fullness explained. Some recently discovered hormones could play a key role in weight loss. Leptin is becoming known as the “satiety hormone,” because it gives off signals off feeling full. So when found in elevated levels in the body, it leads to a lack of appetite by giving our brains the impression that we’re satisfied food-wise. Obestatin is another hormone that seems to help regulate hunger by transmitting satiety signals to the brain. <P> Most important to appetite control, CCK acts to slow gastric emptying and to promote a feeling of fullness, thus suppressing further food intake.19 Glucagon-like peptide-1 is another hormone that is intimately connected with fullness and satiety. Produced in the small intestine in response to fat and carbohydrates, GLP-1 works in part by activating the ileal brake mechanism. This slows down the absorption of food in the gut, promoting feelings of fullness and satiety, and therefore limits the desire for further food intake.20 GLP-1 also helps to control the health of pancreatic beta cells, which serve the crucial function of manufacturing insulin in the body. <P> 1 Sex hormones. 2 Let’s not forget estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, also known as the minor hormones. 3 Adequate levels of estrogen seem to help in hunger regulation, simulating the soothing “full” or satiety effect of serotonin. If so, then you have experienced the sometimes puzzling effects of specialized signaling molecules in the body, formally referred to as “the hormones of appetite and satiety.”. There is a significant correlation between these recently identified hormones and how the gut communicates with the brain to regulate weight. <P> 1 Let’s not forget estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, also known as the minor hormones. 2 Adequate levels of estrogen seem to help in hunger regulation, simulating the soothing “full” or satiety effect of serotonin. If so, then you have experienced the sometimes puzzling effects of specialized signaling molecules in the body, formally referred to as “the hormones of appetite and satiety.”. There is a significant correlation between these recently identified hormones and how the gut communicates with the brain to regulate weight. <P> CCK and GLP-1 are key hormones for appetite control and satiety, and scientific studies show that these two hormones exert effects in combination that are more powerful than either alone (synergistic effects). This slows down the absorption of food in the gut, promoting feelings of fullness and satiety, and therefore limits the desire for further food intake.20 GLP-1 also helps to control the health of pancreatic beta cells, which serve the crucial function of manufacturing insulin in the body. <P> Leptin is opposed by the actions of the hormone ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Both hormones act on receptors in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus to regulate appetite to achieve energy homeostasis. In 1950, a non-obese mouse colony being studied at the Jackson Laboratory produced a strain of obese offspring, suggesting that a mutation had occurred in a hormone regulating hunger and energy expenditure. Mice homozygous for the so-called ob mutation (ob/ob) ate voraciously and were massively obese. <P> Share. Short-term very-low-calorie dieting disrupts powerful hormones that control appetite, hunger, and satiety for up to a year after a strict diet. Crash diet now, feel hungry later… even several months later. To be fat means you’re weak-willed, spineless, and/or impulsive. Fact: Powerful hormones control our perception of appetite and hunger, as well as our eating behavior. While you still have the option of self-control, your body definitely has a strong voice in the matter. <P> Although regulation of fat stores is deemed to be the primary function of leptin, it also plays a role in other physiological processes, as evidenced by its multiple sites of synthesis other than fat cells, and the multiple cell types beside hypothalamic cells that have leptin receptors. In 1950, a non-obese mouse colony being studied at the Jackson Laboratory produced a strain of obese offspring, suggesting that a mutation had occurred in a hormone regulating hunger and energy expenditure. Mice homozygous for the so-called ob mutation (ob/ob) ate voraciously and were massively obese. <P> Hidden in your hypothalamus, you have a satiety center that regulates your appetite. It's controlled by two counter-balancing chemicals that are located side-by-side. - The satiety chemicals led by CART (the C stands for cocaine and A for amphetamine, since these drugs put this chemical into overdrive). | Leptin the satiety hormone |
what is a polyatomic ion example | <P> Polyatomic ions are ions which consist of more than one atom. For example, nitrate ion, NO3-, contains one nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms. The atoms in a polyatomic ion are usually covalently bonded to one another, and therefore stay together as a single, charged unit. Rule 1. The cation is written first in the name; the anion is written second in the name <P> Share. By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Definition: A polyatomic ion is an ion comprised of two or more atoms.

what is a gallbladder | <P> The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped pouch in the upper right part of your abdomen (tummy). It stores bile, the digestive fluid produced by the liver that helps to break down fatty foods. Bile is made from cholesterol, bile salts and waste products. <P> Front View of the Gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small pouch that sits just under the liver. The gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver. After meals, the gallbladder is empty and flat, like a deflated balloon. Before a meal, the gallbladder may be full of bile and about the size of a small pear. In response to signals, the gallbladder squeezes stored bile into the small intestine through a series of tubes called ducts. Bile helps digest fats, but the gallbladder itself is not essential <P> About the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ under the liver. Both the liver and the gallbladder are behind the right lower ribs. In adults, the gallbladder is usually about 3 to 4 inches long and normally no wider than an inch. The gallbladder concentrates and stores bile, a fluid made in the liver. <P> The gallbladder is a small storage organ located inferior and posterior to the liver. Though small in size, the gallbladder plays an important role in our digestion of food. The gallbladder holds bile produced in the liver until it is needed for digesting fatty foods in the duodenum of the small intestine. The gallbladder acts as a storage vessel for bile produced by the liver. Bile is produced by hepatocytes cells in the liver and passes through the bile ducts to the cystic duct. <P> The gallbladder is an organ that is part of the human biliary system, which is involved with the production, storage and transportation of bile. Bile is a yellowish-brown fluid produced by the liver and used to break up and digest fatty foods in the small intestine. <P> Gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped, hollow structure located under the liver and on the right side of the abdomen. Its primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a yellow-brown digestive enzyme produced by the liver. The gallbladder is part of the biliary tract. When food enters the small intestine, a hormone called cholecystokinin is released, signaling the gallbladder to contract and secrete bile into the small intestine through the common bile duct. The bile helps the digestive process by breaking up fats. <P> 1 Gallstones (cholelithiasis): For unclear reasons, substances in bile can crystallize in the gallbladder, forming gallstones. 2 Common and usually harmless, gallstones can sometimes cause pain, nausea, or inflammation. 3 Cholecystitis: Inflammation of the gallbladder, often due to a gallstone in the gallbladder. Before a meal, the gallbladder may be full of bile and about the size of a small pear. In response to signals, the gallbladder squeezes stored bile into the small intestine through a series of tubes called ducts. <P> In vertebrates the gallbladder (also gall bladder, biliary vesicle or cholecyst), is a small organ where bile (a fluid produced by the liver) is stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine. Humans can live without a gallbladder. The gallbladder is a hollow organ that sits just beneath the right lobe of the liver. In adults, the gallbladder measures approximately 8 centimetres (3.1 in) in length and 4 centimetres (1.6 in) in diameter when fully distended. The gallbladder has a capacity of about 100 mL. | The gallbladder is a hollow organ that sits just beneath the right lobe of the liver. |

what is a good salary | <P> If you live in New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., and any of these major populations, a good salary will need to be 60K at the very least if you want to live somewhat comfortably. Generally, a good salary for new college graduates and young professionals (which I assume you are) is between 45K to 75K. A good salary that's generally considered to be good across all of America is your typical 6-digit salary, if you live by yourself. <P> Many factors contribute to deciding what a good salary would be (such as where you live and how important it is for you to own lots of nice stuff, take vacations, or splurge on luxuries, dining out, etc.). So the lowest annual gross salary for a regular, full-time worker (not commission-based or involving tips) would be $10,712. The rule of thumb is no more than 30% of income should go toward housing (i.e., rent and utilities), so a person earning minimum wage should spend no more than $270 on housing each month. <P> Best Answer: The average salary is anywhere between 21-24k, depending on which article you read. A good salary in your 30's would be 40k....then rising to 70k in mid 40's. 70k would be for someone with around 20-30 staff under them. My Sis is on 42k, and she is 35 years old...The cow!! LOL <P> The 100 Best Jobs. The U.S. workforce has myriad talents, desires and lifestyles, so there is no one best job that suits each one of us. But if we were to define a good job generally, there are some unequivocal factors. The best jobs pay well. They challenge you without stressing you out too much. <P> A salary is a form of periodic payment from an employer to an employee, which may be specified in an employment contract. <P> Report Abuse. A good salary is the one that beats your last one, or is equal with more future. In an expensive state, I would say $45,000 plus. In a Southern state, $30,000 is enough to live on semi-comfortably without children. Someone making 80k a year, but has a 3k a month mortgage, 2k student loan payment a month, credit card debt, etc will have a harder time than someone making 40k a year with no debt. I make 50k a year and I live very very comfortable because I have absolutely no debt. All my bills and expenses total just 1500 a month <P> Good average salary is $35,142, median salary is $35,142 with a salary range from $29,120 to $41,163. Good salaries are collected from government agencies and companies. Each salary is associated with a real job position. Good salary statistics is not exclusive and is for reference only. <P> If you live in a city such as New York City, where the cost of living is so high... I think that $40,000 a year is a good salary for a single person. Answer The typical work year is 2080 hours (40 hours per week for 52 weeks), and the Federal Minimum Wage has been stuck at $5.15 since 1997. So the lowest annual gross salary for a regular, full-time worker (not commission-based or involving tips) would be $10,712. The rule of thumb is no more than 30% of income should go toward housing (i.e., rent and utilities), so a person earning minimum wage should spend no more than $270 on housing each month. <P> Anywhere from $60k-100k(after tax)here is considered good/well off. $35k-50k here is just about enough to have a 1-2 kids and a somewhat comfortable life($160k house, cars under $20k etc). A fairly nice house in the suburbs will run from $200k-450k. Someone making 80k a year, but has a 3k a month mortgage, 2k student loan payment a month, credit card debt, etc will have a harder time than someone making 40k a year with no debt.

which compound is an alkyne | <P> Alkynes are named according to the same system as other organic compounds, with the suffix-yne used to designate the presence in the molecule of a triple carbon-carbon bond. The first step is to consider the number of carbon atoms forming a chain. in terms of the number of carbon atoms in each branch (i.e. methyl-indicates a branch consisting of just one carbon atom attached to the main chain, ethyl-indicates a branch of two carbon atoms in length, etc.) and their. <P> Since the initial interaction between an electrophile and an alkene or alkyne is the formation of a pi-complex, in which the electrophile accepts electrons from and becomes weakly bonded to the multiple bond, the relatively slower reactions of alkynes becomes understandable. Since the most common chemical transformation of a carbon-carbon double bond is an addition reaction, we might expect the same to be true for carbon-carbon triple bonds. Indeed, most of the alkene addition reactions discussed earlier also take place with alkynes, and with similar regio-and stereoselectivity. <P> Answers. Best Answer: B) CH3-CH2-CbondCH I would guess bond is triple bond. The general formula for Alkanes, Alkenes and Alkynes are: CnH(2n+2), CnH2n and CnH(2n-2), where n is the number of Carbon atoms. Its easy to remember that Alkanes have only single bonds, Alkenes have atleast ONE double bond and Alkynes have atleast ONE triple bond.

Other examples of saturated compounds are octane, C8H18, and diethyl ether, C4H10O. The term unsaturated is used to designate a compound which contains double or triple bonds and therefore not every carbon is bonded to a different atom. Ethene, C2H4, is an example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Other examples of unsaturated compounds are benzene, C6H6, and acetic acid, C2H4O2. All bond angles about the carbon-carbon double bond are 120o. All atoms bonded to the double bonded carbon atoms lie in the same plane. <P> In organic chemistry, an alkene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains at least one carbon –carbon double bond. Alkene, olefin, and olefine are used often interchangeably (see nomenclature section below). <P> An unsaturated hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon containing at least one double or triple bond. An alkene is a hydrocarbon containing double bonds. The general formula of an alkene is CnH2n. An alkyne is a hydrocarbon containing triple bonds. The general formula of an alkyne is CnH2n-2. The term saturated is used to refer to a compound in which all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds and every carbon atom is connected to a different atom.

All atoms bonded to the double bonded carbon atoms lie in the same plane. <P> In organic chemistry, an alkyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon—carbon triple bond between two carbon atoms. Alkynes occur in some pharmaceuticals, including the contraceptive norethynodrel. A carbon–carbon triple bond is also present in marketed drugs such as the antiretroviral Efavirenz and the antifungal Terbinafine. Molecules called ene-diynes feature a ring containing an alkene (ene) between two alkyne groups (diyne). <P> Alkynes. The alkynes are the third homologous series of organic compounds of hydrogen and carbon, where there is at least one triple-bond between the atoms in the molecules. The alkenes are said to be unsaturated because of the existence of a multiple bond in the molecule. The carbon-carbon triple bond of the alkynes is formed in the same way as a double bond of the alkenes, by the elimination of atoms or groups from two adjacent carbons. <P> In the language of valence bond theory, the carbon atoms in an alkyne bond are sp hybridized: they each have two unhybridized p orbitals and two sp hybrid orbitals. Overlap of an sp orbital from each atom forms one sp-sp sigma bond. Alkynes occur in some pharmaceuticals, including the contraceptive norethynodrel. A carbon–carbon triple bond is also present in marketed drugs such as the antiretroviral Efavirenz and the antifungal Terbinafine. Molecules called ene-diynes feature a ring containing an alkene (ene) between two alkyne groups (diyne). | Organic with triple carbon-carbon bond |
what are the three body segments of most arthropods | <P> Arthropods are a category of invertebrate characterized by chitinous exoskeletons and segmented bodies; the three types are insects, arachnids, and crustaceans. Bodies of arth … ropods typically come in three sections, the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. Each of these is a segment. <P> Segmentation in arthropods Most arthropods are segmented, butthey do not have as many segments asyou have seen in segmented worms. Inmost groups of arthropods, segmentshave become fused into three body sec-tions—head, thorax, and abdomen. Inother groups, even these segments maybe fused. <P> Crabs, lobsters, spiders, insects, centipedes, and millipedes these creatures all belong to the phylum Arthropoda, the most successful group of animals on Earth. Indeed, arthropods far outnumber all other types of animals combined, with an estimated 1 million species. <P> Insects have a head, thorax, and abdomen, with three pair of legs (6 legs) on the thorax. (Crustaceans have legs on the abdomen as well as on the thorax). Most insects have one or two pairs of wings.

what is a class c felony kentucky | <P> Accordingly, these states have Class C/level 3 felonies: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina Tennessee, Washington, and Wisconsin. The criminal codes of every state and the federal criminal code separate felony crimes (serious offenses) from misdemeanors (less serious). Some states use a classification system to organize felonies from those that are the most serious to those that are less so. <P> Class B felonies in Kentucky are punishable by ten to 20 years’ imprisonment. (Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. §§ 532.020, 532.060.) For example, intentionally shooting someone and causing serious injury (first degree assault) is a Class B felony. A conviction for a Class C felony can result in a prison term of five to ten years. (Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. §§ 532.020, 532.060.) Theft of property worth $10,000 or more is a Class C felony in Kentucky. <P> Class C felonies are punishable by between five and 10 years imprisonment in Kentucky. Example of Class C felonies are manslaughter in the second degree, unauthorized use of a credit card involving $10,000 or more and assault in the second degree. <P> For example, if a previously convicted felon is convicted of a class C felony in Kentucky, the court must impose a sentence as if the defendant had committed a class B felony. Class B felonies impose a punishment of at least 10 years, but no more than 20 years in jail. In addition to the basic categories of felony and misdemeanor, Kentucky categorizes felonies based on various categories of severity. Class C felonies in Kentucky include such crimes as trafficking in stolen identities, promoting prostitution and persistently failing to provide or pay child support. <P> Felonies are divided between A, B, C and D. A class D felony is the lowest felony and is punishable by 1-5 years in prison. A class C felony is punishable by 5-10 years, a class B felony is 10-20 years and a class A felony is 20-50 years. Kentucky law allows for different penalties for different levels of felonies. The range is from 1 year to life in prison. Any crime punishable by more than one year in jail is considered a felony. <P> According to Kentucky Revised Statute § 532.020, Class C felonies are any crimes for which the potential punishment is incarceration of at least five years but no more than 10 years in a state jail or prison. In addition to the basic categories of felony and misdemeanor, Kentucky categorizes felonies based on various categories of severity. Class C felonies in Kentucky include such crimes as trafficking in stolen identities, promoting prostitution and persistently failing to provide or pay child support. <P> According to Kentucky Revised Statute § 532.060, Kentucky felonies range from Class D to Class A, with Class A being the most serious crimes.

how many days after your period do you get the egg retrieval | <P> You can begin looking for pregnancy symptoms as early as a week after fertilization. You can also begin testing for pregnancy as early as 7-10 days past your ovulation date with an Early Detection Pregnancy Test. If fertilization does not occur the egg dissolves after 24 hours. At this time your hormone levels will decrease and your uterine lining will begin to shed about 12-16 days from ovulation. This is menstruation (menstrual period) and brings us back to day 1 of your cycle. The journey then begins all over again. <P> The egg can be fertilized for up to 24 hours after ovulation. If it isn‘t fertilized the lining of the womb is shed and your period begins. This marks the start of the next cycle. While an egg is only viable for about 24 hours, sperm can remain active for up to five days. Most women then have 12 to 16 days between ovulating and starting their next period (this is called the luteal phase). The First Day of Your Cycle. The first day of your menstrual cycle is the first day of your period. The period usually then lasts anywhere from 3 to 7 days. <P> If your cycle is short, 22 days for example, then you could ovulate just days after your period, if your period lasted seven days. The longest that sperm can survive in fertile cervical mucus is seven days. So it may just be possible for you to get pregnant if you ovulate a little earlier than usual. It's not likely, but it is possible. Your chances of getting pregnant just after your period depend on how short your menstrual cycle is, and how long your period lasts. One of your ovaries will release an egg (ovulation) about 12 to 14 days before your period starts. The first day of your period, when you start bleeding, is counted as the first day of your cycle. If you have a 28-day cycle, you'll usually ovulate some time between day 12 and day 16 of your cycle. During your period an egg is usually developing, ready for release mid-cycle. The time it takes for an egg to mature within the ovary can vary. This means that the day you ovulate can also vary from cycle to cycle <P> If not, then generally your period should come about 14 days after ovulation (= egg retrieval) as per usual. If you were on Lupron, then it can be as early as about 7 days after retrieval. For your next period after that, anyone's guess. <P> The Association estimates that ovulation occurs anywhere between 11-21 days after the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), or 12-16 days from when you expect the next menstrual period to start. Order a Fertility Kit or Monitor. But since sperm can live in the body for 3-5 days after sex, and the egg is available for one day, your most fertile time is considered to be about 5-7 days. <P> On day 2 of your cycle you will start estrogen to build up your lining. If the lining looks good, on day 14 you will start progesterone to get your uterus ready and then day 19 you would do a 5 day transfer. !f it is a 3 day transfer then you start the progest 2 days later. You will do great!! <P> During my ovulation time, how many days am I really fertile? During your window of ovulation, an egg is only available to be fertilized for about 12-24 hours. But since sperm can live in the body for 3-5 days after sex, and the egg is available for one day, your most fertile time is considered to be about 5-7 days. <P> The egg can live for up to 24 hours. Sperm survival is more variable, but typically 3–5 days, so the days leading up to ovulation and the day of ovulation itself are your most fertile – when you are most likely to get pregnant. As soon as you have ovulated, the follicle starts producing another hormone: progesterone. Most women then have 12 to 16 days between ovulating and starting their next period (this is called the luteal phase). The First Day of Your Cycle. The first day of your menstrual cycle is the first day of your period. The period usually then lasts anywhere from 3 to 7 days. <P> The number of days in your cycle is calculated by counting the number of days from the beginning of one period to the beginning of the next period. If you have a short cycle, for example 21 days, and you bleed for 7 days, then you could ovulate right after your period. But since sperm can live in the body for 3-5 days after sex, and the egg is available for one day, your most fertile time is considered to be about 5-7 days. | 11-21 days |
where are the tendons in the body located | <P> The sesamoid bones are tiny little bones found within tendons that are located in areas of the body where the tendon passes over a joint. Their function is to assist the tendons mechanically, by holding the tendon further away from the joint to make movement easier, essentially acting as a fulcrum. <P> A tendon is the fibrous tissue that attaches muscle to bone in the human body. The forces applied to a large tendon may be more than five times the body weight. In some rare instances, tendons can snap or rupture. <P> They're made of tough, nonelastic tissue -- called fibrous connective tissue -- that transfers the force produced when a muscle contracts. Tendons are found in most parts of your body, including your arms, legs, hands and feet, and even your head and torso. <P> A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between a bone and other moving parts: muscles, tendons, or skin. Bursae are found throughout the body. Bursitis occurs when a bursa becomes inflamed (redness and increased fluid in the bursa). A tendon is a flexible band of fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones. Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon. Tendons transmit the pull of the muscle to the bone to cause movement. They are found throughout the body, including the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. <P> The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body. Attached to the bones of the skeletal system are about 700 named muscles that make up roughly half of a person’s body weight. Each of these muscles is a discrete organ constructed of skeletal muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves. Muscle tissue is also found inside of the heart, digestive organs, and blood vessels. In these organs, muscles serve to move substances throughout the body.... <P> What ligaments and tendons have in common is that they are both types of soft tissue found in joints. However, whereas ligaments connect bone to bone, tendons attach muscle to bone. Because of the way in which they connect, ligaments and tendons thus perform different roles in the body. | Hands, wrists,arms,legs,head, torso, elbow, shoulder, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. |
how long do employers have to keep employee records | <P> Employers would be wise to maintain all employee records for at least three years -- to cover all the bases of the federal rules -- and longer, if necessary, pursuant to state rules. The record keeping requirements for salaried, exempt employees differ slightly, only because exempt employees aren't entitled to overtime and, therefore, the employer wouldn't have proof of overtime paid. The FLSA requires that employers maintain nonexempt records for three years from the employment termination date. <P> Oregon law requires employers to keep personnel records for 60 days, and to keep payroll records for 2 years (3 years under federal law), but that does NOT mean it is a good idea to purge those documents as soon as you can lawfully do so. <P> Recordkeeping Requirements. EEOC Regulations require that employers keep all personnel or employment records for one year. If an employee is involuntarily terminated, his/her personnel records must be retained for one year from the date of termination. Under ADEA recordkeeping requirements, employers must also keep all payroll records for three years. <P> When an employment relationship ends, employers have an obligation to store employee personnel files in a secure location. The length of time employee records must be kept varies, according to federal and some state laws concerning employer record keeping. The record keeping requirements for salaried, exempt employees differ slightly, only because exempt employees aren't entitled to overtime and, therefore, the employer wouldn't have proof of overtime paid. The FLSA requires that employers maintain nonexempt records for three years from the employment termination date. <P> For purposes of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), employers are required to keep payroll records for the same length of time required under the FLSA -- three years from the termination date. However, other employee benefit information must be retained for only one year. The record keeping requirements for salaried, exempt employees differ slightly, only because exempt employees aren't entitled to overtime and, therefore, the employer wouldn't have proof of overtime paid. The FLSA requires that employers maintain nonexempt records for three years from the employment termination date. <P> Employment records consist of employee personnel files, payroll records, benefits enrollment forms and medical records. Job-related materials -- everything except health and medical information -- is generally stored within the human resources department and may be available to staff on a need-to-know basis. The record keeping requirements for salaried, exempt employees differ slightly, only because exempt employees aren't entitled to overtime and, therefore, the employer wouldn't have proof of overtime paid. The FLSA requires that employers maintain nonexempt records for three years from the employment termination date. | One year |
what is sodium the element | <P> Sodium is present in fair abundance in the sun and stars. The D lines of sodium are among the most prominent in the solar spectrum. Sodium is the fourth most abundant element on earth, comprising about 2.6% of the earth's crust; it is the most abundant of the alkali group of metals. It is now obtained commercially by the electrolysis of absolutely dry fused sodium chloride. <P> Chemical element, symbol: Na, atomic number: 11 and atomic weight 22,9898. It’s a soft metal, reactive and with a low melting point, with a relative density of 0,97 at 20ºC (68ºF). From the commercial point of view, sodium is the most important of all the alkaline metals. <P> Sodium, like most elements in the periodic table could be said to have a dual personality. On one side it is an essential nutrient for most living things, and yet, due to its reactive nature is also capable of wreaking havoc if you happen to combine it with something you shouldn't. <P> The D lines of sodium are among the most prominent in the solar spectrum. Sodium is the fourth most abundant element on earth, comprising about 2.6% of the earth's crust; it is the most abundant of the alkali group of metals. It is now obtained commercially by the electrolysis of absolutely dry fused sodium chloride. <P> Although sodium is the sixth most abundant element on earth and comprises about 2.6% of the earth's crust, it is a very reactive element and is never found free in nature. Pure sodium was first isolated by Sir Humphry Davy in 1807 through the electrolysis of caustic soda (NaOH). <P> Group 1 elements are often referred to as the alkali metals. The chemistry of sodium is dominated by the +1 ion Na + . Sodium salts impart a characteristic orange/yellow colour to flames and orange street lighting is orange because of the presence of sodium in the lamp. Soap is generally a sodium salt of fatty acids. | Sodium is the fourth most abundant element on earth, comprising about 2.6% of the earth's crust. |

average cost of a perennial | <P> The current price range for good quality perennial peanut hay is $175 to $265 per ton. Based on a production cost of $273/A, this translates into a net return to the producer of around $252 to $402 per acre when calculated for a hay yield of 3 tn/A (Table 1). Many factors influence the cost of establishing and maintaining a perennial peanut planting, including the size of the planting, intended use of the forage, source of planting material, cost of land, equipment, labor, and interest rate on borrowed money. <P> Know the difference between annuals and perennials. Perennial plants grow and spread for years. The initial cost is greater, but they are a permanent addition to the garden. Plant tall perennials at the back of a border and shorter plants in front. With a little planning, it is possible to plant masses of successively blooming flowers for an all-season display. <P> Perennial peanut sod is more expensive to establish than St. Augustinegrass sod. Including the labor to install the sod, perennial peanut would cost an estimated $1,250 per 1,000 ft 2, more than four times as expensive as St. Augustinegrass sod. For either St. Augustinegrass or perennial peanut groundcover, a starter fertilizer application is necessary. Table 1 indicates that more than $900 dollars (per 1,000 ft 2) of additional cash would be needed to establish perennial peanut versus St. Augustinegrass. On an annual basis, establishment costs depends on the expected life. <P> This results in an annual cost of $180. Supplemental irrigation for peanut at the same duration and frequency as the tree requires 228,096 gal/acre/month, or $1,344 per year.A single spray event required 2 quarts/acre of Ranger Pro ® at a cost of $20 and 3 hours of labor at $37.50 for a total cost of $57.50. Stolons cost $6/pound, with 14,500 stolons (116 lb) used for 1 acre for a total cost of $696. Plastic weed mat installation required 24 hours/acre for a total labor cost of $300. Drilling seed by hand required 15 hours for the high seeding rate and 5 hours for the low rate for costs of $272 and $91, respectively. <P> 1 Costs for stump removal depend on the size of the stump, at a typical cost of $2-$3 per inch of diameter, or an average of $75-$150 per stump. 1 With a year-round gardening or landscaping service, there may be additional seasonal charges for extra tasks required in spring and fall, typically about $200-$500 for a half acre with some trees -- although costs will vary depending on local rates, the size of the property and the type of landscaping. <P> Given the estimated savings in annual maintenance costs, a perennial peanut groundcover would offset the higher establishment costs within 3.2 years. For every year afterwards, an annual cost savings of nearly $300 per 1,000 ft 2 of perennial peanut groundcover would be realized. Table 1 indicates that more than $900 dollars (per 1,000 ft 2) of additional cash would be needed to establish perennial peanut versus St. Augustinegrass. On an annual basis, establishment costs depends on the expected life. <P> A 5 gallon shrub can be reduced to a 2 gallon, or even a 1 gallon, reducing its cost up to 50%. Though the labor charge to plant it is roughly the same, you save on the purchase price of that shrub, or perennial or tree. It's not always a good idea to apply this across the entire planting plan, however. Container size is how the industry prices nursery plants. The optimal size for a shrub on your planting plan is a 5 gallon container. Herbaceous perennials are 1 gallon containers.

what does energy absorbing material do | <P> When you combine their capabilities, you end up with an energy absorbing material that is much more efficient than a viscous substance or an elastic substance would be on its own. Viscous materials help absorb energy by dissipating it over a larger area. They take in waves of energy and spread them out. <P> Material Properties. As the density of a material increases, its ability to absorb solar energy typically also increases. For example, dense materials, such as adobe, concrete and brick, absorb a large amount of solar energy. Less dense materials, such as Styrofoam and some wood, do not absorb as much solar energy. These properties may vary according to the coating of the material. <P> An energy absorbing material is meant to allow the two surfaces meet and then spread out, with the energy dissipated along one surface (the one that is impacted) without being reabsorbed by the one that makes the impact. When a material is too thick, it can prevent the two surfaces from doing what they need to do. <P> When we talk of an energy absorbing material, what we’re really talking about is a material that can control the release of energy in various ways. Energy is never lost – it’s only transferred into different forms. You probably remember this from basic science classes in middle school or high school. <P> A visco-elastic material is one with both the properties of a liquid and the properties of an elastic solid. The combination of these two types of properties is excellent when it comes to absorbing or spreading energy because these two types of materials deal with energy in different ways. | Energy absorbing material release of energy in various ways. |

what is nacl | <P> Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of seawater and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. In the form of edible or table salt it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. When dissolved in water, the sodium chloride framework disintegrates as the Na + and Cl − ions become surrounded by the polar water molecules. These solutions consist of metal aquo complex with the formula [Na(H 2 O) 8 ] + , with the Na-O distance of 250 pm. <P> Sodium Chloride, NaCl. The classic case of ionic bonding, the sodium chloride molecule forms by the ionization of sodium and chlorine atoms and the attraction of the resulting ions. An atom of sodium has one 3s electron outside a closed shell, and it takes only 5.14 electron volts of energy to remove that electron. <P> Sodium chloride /ˌsoʊdiəm ˈklɔraɪd/ , also known as salt, common salt, table salt or halite, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. When dissolved in water, the sodium chloride framework disintegrates as the Na + and Cl − ions become surrounded by the polar water molecules. These solutions consist of metal aquo complex with the formula [Na(H 2 O) 8 ] + , with the Na-O distance of 250 pm. <P> Sodium chloride is an ionic compound that is produced by the bonding of sodium cations to chloride anions. This salt dissolves readily in water and forms crystals when in solid form. Instructor: John Williams. Sodium chloride is a compound formed from the ionic bonding of sodium and chloride. The result is a salt that is very important biologically and commercially. This article discusses sodium chloride, its properties, and its uses. <P> NaCl (sodium chloride) is not on the periodic table because it is a compound and the periodic table. It is made of two elements which are on the periodic table: sodium (Na) … and chlorine (Cl). NaCl is salt and H2O is water NaCl + H2O → Na (ions) + Cl (ions) + H2O usually when writing the equation you can omit the H2O and just have: NaCl → Na+ + Cl … -. 22 people found this useful. Answered. In Salt (Sodium Chloride). <P> So then, sodium ions will attract chloride ions and form an ionic bond. By the way, chloride is the term used to designate the anion form of chlorine. The result is a crystallized salt that has properties that are different from the two parent elements (sodium and chlorine). Instructor: John Williams. Sodium chloride is a compound formed from the ionic bonding of sodium and chloride. The result is a salt that is very important biologically and commercially. This article discusses sodium chloride, its properties, and its uses. <P> Best Answer: The answer is definitely no. NaCl is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds do not form molecules. They form large crystal lattices consisting of alternating positive and negative ions. See the reference for a picture of the crystal lattice of NaCl <P> Sodium chloride inhalation may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide. Sodium chloride is the chemical name for salt. Sodium is an electrolyte that regulates the amount of water in your body. Sodium also plays a part in nerve impulses and muscle contractions. Sodium chloride is used to treat or prevent sodium loss caused by dehydration, excessive sweating, or other causes. Sodium chloride may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

how long does it take to recover from a pulled muscle in the back | <P> Like back strain, back sprains may trigger back muscle spasms. Healing time depends on the severity of the sprain. Most back sprains heal in six to eight weeks but it can take several months for complete recovery from a severe back sprain. Ligaments take longer to heal than muscles. <P> What is Back Strain. A muscle strain (or pulled muscle) is an overstretched or torn muscle. Back strain is the most common cause of back pain, especially lower back pain. Muscle strain is often caused by overuse of a muscle or overloading a muscle. When a muscle is stressed beyond its limits, injury occurs. <P> A mild rhomboid strain may heal within a few weeks, but a severe injury may take 6 weeks or longer. To help relieve swelling and pain: 1 Put an ice pack, gel pack, or package of frozen vegetables wrapped in a cloth on the injured area every 3 to 4 hours for up to 20 minutes at a time. <P> A more severe strain may take 6 weeks or longer to heal. To help relieve swelling and pain: 1 Put an ice pack, gel pack, or package of frozen vegetables wrapped in a cloth on the sore area every 3 to 4 hours for up to 20 minutes at a time. 2 Do ice massage. <P> Relief from pain and inflammation from pulled back muscles / ligaments can be obtained by applying ice to the injury (wrap ice in cloth-do not apply ice directly to skin) for 15 to 20 minutes every 4 hours for two or three days. The cold helps reduce pain and inflammation and is also a distraction from the back pain. <P> Depending on the grade, pulled muscles can take one to eight weeks to heal. For the first 72 hours, apply ice, use elevation and, in consultation with a doctor, take anti-inflammatory medication. After 72 hours, use hot packs to bring blood into the muscle and provide nourishment, which accelerates healing. | 15 to 20 minutes every 4 hours for two or three days. |
what force generally holds polar molecules together | <P> Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. For a hexane molecule, since it is not polar the intermolecular force that holds it together is London forces. Its the only force of attraction that can hold a nonpolar force to another. <P> They are called intermolecular forces. One is hydrogen bonding, in which hydrogen atoms bond with nearby fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen atoms. Van der waals forces occur betwee … n dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and induced dipole-induced dipole molecules. <P> In general, intermolecular forces are much weaker than the ionic and covalent bonds that hold together the atoms and ions in a compound. For example, about 40 kJ of energy are required to vaporize 18 grams of water molecules—i.e., completely convert 18 grams of water to water vapor or steam. <P> The intramolecular bonds that hold the atoms in H 2 O molecules together are almost 25 times as strong as the intermolecular bonds between water molecules. (It takes 464 kJ/mol to break the H--O bonds within a water molecule and only 19 kJ/mol to break the bonds between water molecules.). <P> Worksheet 15 - Intermolecular Forces Chemical bonds are intramolecular forces which hold atoms together as molecules. The forces that hold molecules together in the liquid and solid states are called intermolecular forces. <P> Water molecules for example, are held together by hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the oxygen atom of another (Figure Figure 7). Hydrogen bonds are a relatively strong intermolecular force and are stronger than other dipole-dipole forces. <P> For a hexane molecule, since it is not polar the intermolecular force that holds it together is London forces. Its the only force of attraction that can hold a nonpolar force to another. <P> Molecules are held together by electrons shared between bonded atoms. For example, consider the formation of an H 2 molecule from two separate hydrogen atoms: 2 approachinghydrogen atoms(2 H) a hydrogen molecule(H2) As the two atoms approach, each nucleus begins to attract the other atom's electrons. <P> Similar to ion-dipole forces these forces exist between ions and non-polar molecules. The ion induces a dipole in the non-polar molecule leading to a weak, short lived force which holds the compounds together. These forces are found in haemoglobin (the molecule that carries oxygen around your body). | The intermolecular force. |
what is normal heart rate | <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> Consult your doctor if your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats a minute (tachycardia) or if you're not a trained athlete and your resting heart rate is below 60 beats a minute (bradycardia) — especially if you have other signs or symptoms, such as fainting, dizziness or shortness of breath. With. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute. To measure your heart rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. <P> Most adults have a resting heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). The fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For example, athletes may have a resting heart rate of 40-60 bpm or lower. You should contact your GP if you think your heart rate is continuously above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm, although this could just be normal for you. <P> 1 Your heart rate is the number of times per minute that the heart beats. 2 Heart rate rises significantly in response to adrenaline if a person is frightened or surprised. 3 Taking a person's pulse is a direct measure of heart rate. 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> For adults 18 and older, a normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm), depending on the person’s physical condition and age. For children ages 6 to 15, the normal resting heart rate is between 70 and 100 bpm, according to the AHA. But a heart rate lower than 60 doesn’t necessarily mean you have a medical problem. Active people often have lower heart rates because their heart muscles don't need to work as hard to maintain a steady beat. <P> 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> A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute. To measure your heart rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. <P> Strength of the pulse. The normal pulse for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. The pulse rate may fluctuate and increase with exercise, illness, injury, and emotions. Females ages 12 and older, in general, tend to have faster heart rates than do males. <P> Heart rate, also known as pulse, is the number of times a person's heart beats per minute. A normal heart rate depends on the individual, age, body size, heart conditions, whether the person is sitting or moving, medication use and even air temperature. Even emotions can have an impact on heart rate. For example, getting excited or scared can increase the heart rate. For children ages 6 to 15, the normal resting heart rate is between 70 and 100 bpm, according to the AHA. But a heart rate lower than 60 doesn’t necessarily mean you have a medical problem. Active people often have lower heart rates because their heart muscles don't need to work as hard to maintain a steady beat. <P> Myth: A normal heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute. That's the old standard. Many doctors think it should be lower. About 50-70 beats per minute is ideal, says Suzanne Steinbaum, MD, director of women's heart health at Lenox Hill Hospital. | 60–100 bpm. |

gluten intolerance definition | <P> Definition. A gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes the protein gluten. Gluten is found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye, and a cross between wheat and rye called triticale. A gluten-free diet is primarily used to treat celiac disease. Gluten causes inflammation in the small intestines of people with celiac disease. <P> Gluten (from Latin gluten, glue ) is a protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. Gluten is the composite of two storage proteins, gliadin and a glutenin, and is conjoined with starch in the endosperm of various grass-related grains. Worldwide, gluten is a source of protein, both in foods prepared directly from sources containing it, and as an additive to foods otherwise low in protein. <P> People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is found mainly in foods but may also be found in everyday products such as medicines, vitamins, and lip balms.

If your chair is being slipcovered, put the unfinished slipcover on the chair before pinning the tape. Space pins 1 to 2 inches apart. For a tailored skirt, add 6 inches to allow for small seams at the corners and back. For a pleated skirt, add 8 inches for each pair of corner pleats and 1 inch for a closing seam.

Buying a home is exciting, but it can also be stressful and time-consuming. 1 However it does come at a hefty cost. 2 On average, you should expect to spend $400-$800 for a 1,500 square foot house including lab fees, and then another $200-$400 for a re-inspection after the project is complete. 3 Asbestos removal can cost anywhere from $400-$30,000 depending on the amount of asbestos present. <P> Let’s put home inspection fees in perspective: If you’re buying a $400,000 house and the inspection fee is $700, that’s less than .2% of the cost of the house! Most real estate agencies charge 3% to 6% to sell a home, that would be $12,000 to $24,000 for a $400,000 house! The cost of a home inspection is a bargain, even if you paid $1500 for the inspection, and most are less than half that! Aside from the time invested, the value of the inspection and report can be measured by its usefulness. <P> 1 This varies by inspector and how they compile reports. 2 The average rate for home inspection is around $200-$600 based on where you live. 3 Some inspectors can charge up to $800 or more. 4 As with most things, paying the lowest cost for a home inspection isn't always in your best interest. 1 However it does come at a hefty cost. 2 On average, you should expect to spend $400-$800 for a 1,500 square foot house including lab fees, and then another $200-$400 for a re-inspection after the project is complete. 3 Asbestos removal can cost anywhere from $400-$30,000 depending on the amount of asbestos present. | $400 and $500 |
what is alt (sgpt) in my blood test | <P> The SGPT blood test is a very useful diagnostic tool. Commonly referred to as an ALT or serum glutamic-pyvuric transaminase, this test is typically ordered to check for problems of the liver. If your physician has ordered this test, read about the procedure, results, and other useful information. <P> A. SGPT is an abbreviation for a serum blood test of an enzyme produced in the liver and in the heart. SGPT enzymes are released into the blood stream when damage to the heart or liver occur. Elevated SGPT levels are thus observed with heart and liver abnormalities. <P> The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test is typically used to detect liver injury. It is often ordered in conjunction with aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or as part of a liver panel to screen for and/or help diagnose liver disease. <P> Guide. An alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood. ALT is found mainly in the liver, but also in smaller amounts in the kidneys, heart, muscles, and pancreas. ALT was formerly called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). <P> This blood test measures an enzyme called alanine transaminase (ALT). Enzymes are chemicals that help the cells of your body work. ALT is an enzyme made in the liver. It is released into the blood when tissues are damaged.

Rigor Mortis, a stiffening of the muscles, usually starts to take place at around 3 hours after someone is dead with full rigor occurring at about 12 hours after death. After the 12 hour mark the rigor slowly ceases and at around 72 hours rigor disappears. <P> Rigor mortis is the reason why the word stiff is a slang term for a dead body. Two or three hours after a person or animal dies, the muscles start to stiffen. This phenomenon progresses in a downward, head-to-toe direction. In 12 to 18 hours the body is, as the saying goes, stiff as a board. <P> A. Rigor mortis is gradual, usually noticeable about three to four hours after death, and the timing varies with several factors, including the person's activity just before death and the temperature of the body's surroundings. <P> Research has shown that rigor mortis usually begins to set in approximately 3 to 4 hours after the death and reaches the maximum stiffness within 12 hours.

where does the sternocleidomastoid muscle insert | <P> : a thick superficial muscle on each side that arises by one head from the first segment of the sternum and by a second from the inner part of the clavicle, that inserts into the mastoid process and occipital bone, and that acts especially to bend, rotate, flex, and extend the head. 2 ENTRIES FOUND: <P> The sternocleidomastoid muscle is a two-headed neck muscle. It is innervated by the accessory nerve (cranial nerve XI) and direct branches of the cervical plexus (C1-C2). The sternal head originates from the manubrium sterni, the clavicular head from the middle part of the clavicle. Function. A unilateral contraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle flexes the cervical vertebral column to the same side (lateral flexion) and rotates the head to the opposite side. <P> It's part of a long neck muscle called the sternocleidomastoid that goes from the mastoid process at the mastoid bone to the sternum and clavicle. This muscle rotates the head and neck. <P> In human anatomy, the sternocleidomastoid muscle (/ˌstɜrnɵˌklaɪdɵˈmaestɔɪd/), ˌstɜrnɵˌklaɪdɵˈmæstɔɪd also known as sternomastoid and commonly abbreviated AS, scm is a paired muscle in the superficial layers of the side of the. neck The sternocleidomastoid is innervated by the accessory nerve.

which lasers krypton is used | <P> The Krypton paved the way for the iconic S3 design-crafted from aircraft grade aluminum, it is virtually indestructible and undeniably larger-than-life. Our engineering ensures that the beam of your Krypton never fades; it maintains the same powerful beam throughout its battery life, never flickering or waning. <P> Krypton in Medicine. Krypton is used in different forms for many applications in the medical industry. Krypton lasers are commonly employed for laser eye surgery. The laser is used to help prevent blood clotting in the eye as surgery is performed. <P> Because it can form compounds with fluorine, krypton is also used in krypton-fluoride lasers. Recently, a new use was found for isotopes of Krypton. Radioactive isotopes can be used to date matter on earth because they decay over time at a predictable rate. You have probably heard of radiocarbon dating. <P> Like its fellows, krypton is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, noble gas that occurs in trace amounts in the atmosphere. Like the other noble gases, it too is useful in lighting and photography, and its high light output in plasmas allows it to play an important role in many high-powered lasers. <P> Commonly used excimer lasers are krypton fluoride, argon fluoride, xenon fluoride, and xenon chloride. Safety precautions need to be exercised while working with this laser, as it damages the human eye when exposed to the UV radiation. <P> Argon/Krypton Ion Laser Safety. 1 The laser itself emits at 10s to 100s of mW or more in a collimated beam instantly damaging to vision. 2 The power supply is very often line-connected and operates at around 100 V with many AMPs of current available for the laser tube or for a nice path through you unsuspecting body. <P> 1 Note: For the purposes of this discussion, argon ion and krypton ion lasers are very similar-they are both rare gas ion lasers, their basic principles of operation are similar, and the same basic hardware configuration and power supplies can usually be used. <P> Krypton fluoride is used in some lasers. Radioactive krypton was used during the Cold War to estimate Soviet nuclear production. The gas is a product of all nuclear reactors, so the Russian share was found by subtracting the amount that came from Western reactors from the total in the air. <P> Krypton is also used in lasers. Krypton-fluorine lasers are insanely powerful: one pulse from these lasers has about 500 times the power of the entire electrical grid of the USA.

definition of bottleneck process | <P> DEFINITION of 'Bottleneck'. A point of congestion in a system that occurs when workloads arrive at a given point more quickly than that point can handle them. The inefficiencies brought about by the bottleneck often create a queue and a longer overall cycle time. <P> (December 2014). In production and project management, a bottleneck is one process in a chain of processes, such that its limited capacity reduces the capacity of the whole chain. An example is the lack of smelter and refinery supply which cause bottlenecks upstream. <P> In the case of hiking, a bottleneck means the slowest member in walking. An interval between the bottleneck member and the one before spreads, and narrows with the one after. An important thing about bottlenecks is that bottlenecks determine the throughput of a supply chain. If a bottleneck person in hiking can walk faster, the speed of the whole group will increase. Similarly, if the capacity of a bottleneck in a supply chain improves, the throughput will increase. From the definition of bottlenecks, the operating rate of non-bottlenecks is below 100%. A bottleneck (or constraint) in a supply chain means the resource that requires the longest time in operations of the supply chain for certain demand. Usually, phenomena such as increase of inventory before a bottleneck and insufficiency of parts after a bottleneck are often seen. <P> Pramati Technologies WaveMaker. A bottleneck, in a communications context, is a point in the enterprise where the flow of data is impaired or stopped entirely. Effectively, there isn't enough data handling capacity to handle the current volume of traffic. A bottleneck can occur in the user network or storage fabric or within server s where there is excessive contention for internal server resources, such as CPU processing power, memory, or I/O (input/output). As a result, data flow slows down to the speed of the slowest point in the data path <P> Categories: Lean Six Sigma Glossary, Resources. A Bottleneck is a step in the process where the process is limited in the volume it can handle. This is often the result of specialization, task imbalance or other constraints on capacity. Bottlenecks constrain the process and limit the ability of the process to flow at the rate of customer demand. A visualization of a Bottleneck in a process. <P> Bottleneck. The slowest operation (choke point) in a manufacturing process. Do not confuse this with a company’s “Constraint” taken from TOC (Theory of Constraints), which is the slowest operation in an entire manufacturing system that, if remedied, would increase overall company throughput. <P> Bottleneck literally refers to the top narrow part of a bottle. In engineering, it refers to a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or small number of components or resources. <P> If you can identify the bottlenecks that are slowing down your production line, you can speed up manufacturing and increase productivity. In manufacturing, there is always one part of the process that is the slowest, and it may change as the production line adapts. The bottlenecks you're looking for are more serious. | A point of congestion in a system that occurs when workloads arrive at a given point more quickly than that point can handle them. |
what is distal colorectal adenoma | <P> Missed lesions tend to occur in the proximal colon, and there is also an increased tendency for adenoma recurrence in the proximal colon. This may contribute to the explanation of why colonoscopy is not as effective in the proximal colon compared with the distal colon. Colonoscopy may be less efficacious in reducing colorectal cancer mortality in the proximal compared with the distal colon. A greater likelihood for missed and recurrent adenomas in the proximal colon may contribute to this phenomenon. <P> 3. The lifetime risk of sporadic colorectal cancer is 2.5 to 5 percent in the general population but is two to three times higher in persons who have a first-degree relative with an adenomatous colon polyp or colon cancer. Thus, a family history confers a 5 to 10 percent lifetime risk of colon cancer. An estimated 129,400 new cases of colorectal cancer occurred in the United States during 1999. The lifetime risk of developing this cancer is 2.5 to 5 percent in the general population but two to three times higher in persons who have a first-degree relative with colon cancer or an adenomatous polyp. <P> A polyp is a projection (growth) of tissue from the inner lining of the colon into the lumen (hollow center) of the colon. Different types of polyps look different under the microscope. Polyps are benign (non-cancerous) growths, but cancer can start in some types of polyps. <P> Neoplastic polyps of the bowel are often benign hence called adenomas. An adenoma is tumor glandular tissue, that has not (yet) gained the properties of a cancer. The common adenomas of the colon (colorectal adenoma) are the tubular, tubulovillous, villous, and sessile serrated (SSA). A colorectal polyp is a polyp (fleshy growth) occurring on the lining of the colon or rectum. Untreated colorectal polyps can develop into colorectal cancer. Colorectal polyps are often classified by their behaviour (i.e. benign vs. malignant) and/or etiology (e.g. as a consequence of inflammatory bowel disease). They may be benign (e.g. hyperplastic polyp), pre-malignant (e.g. tubular adenoma) or malignant (e.g. colorectal adenocarcinoma <P> A significantly higher proportion of adenomatous polyps was found in the proximal colon (72.6 %) and right colon (76.1 %), compared with those found in the left colon (30.1 %) (P % of rectal polyps ≤5 mm were adenomas, and only 25 % of sigmoid polyps ≤5 mm were adenomas (Table 2). Polyp detection rates (PDRs) and adenoma detection rates (ADRs) by colon segment. The PDR and ADR correlated closely throughout the proximal colon but diverged in the distal colon, where the PDR was higher, primarily because of the removal of small (≤5 mm) polyps in the sigmoid and rectum. <P> Get help from a doctor now ›. Colon Polyp: A polyp in the colon is not a disease. A polyp is a growth on the surface of the lining of the colon. Some can lead to cancer and some are benign. They usually do not cause symptoms unless they get big. They are removed at colonoscopy to make sure they are not pre-cancerous. <P> Dietary fiber and distal colorectal adenoma in men.

government contingency fund definition | <P> According to Washington State law, the fund balance in the Contingency Fund is limited to 37.5 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation. For 2009, the legal limit is $3.86 million. Per the adopted Contingency Fund budget policy, the target balance is 10% of the General Fund’s budgeted expenditures, which corresponds to $2.34 million in 2009. Restoring the Contingency Fund to its target level will constitute the Council’s highest funding priority following the final draw needed to address the revenue shortfall, absent a super majority vote (i.e. 5 vs. 2) to the contrary: For a revenue shortfall, the replenishment target period is 3 years. <P> A contingency fund is cash or other assets reserved to address unforeseen circumstances or losses in a business. The role of the contingency fund is to improve a company's financial stability by developing a safety net that the firm can use to fill emergency needs. It can also be used to reduce the need to take out high-interest loans, such as credit cards, to cover unexpected expenses. <P> Similarly, Contingency Fund of each State Government is established under Article 267(2) of the Constitution – this is in the nature of an imprest placed at the disposal of the Governor to enable him/her to make advances to meet urgent unforeseen expenditure, pending authorization by the State Legislature. History [edit]. In the early part of the nineteenth Century the Civil Contingencies Fund was created in the United Kingdom. It is held by the Treasury, and its use is regulated by the Miscellaneous Financial Provisions Act 1946. <P> In a government setting, the contingency fund is often identified as a disaster recovery fund or disaster assistance fund. Generally, the terms of use for the reserve money placed into the fund will be clearly defined. A contingency fund is simply a reserve fund set aside to handle unexpected debts that are outside the range of the usual operating budget. This model of maintaining reserve money as protection against possible loss in the event of an emergency situation can be utilized in a number of situations <P> As of 6/1/09, the Contingency Fund is at its target level. Recognizing that a number of different financial scenarios requiring the use of the Contingency Fund are possible, the following guidance is provided regarding when to tap the Contingency Fund and when to replenish it. Use Guidance: Revenue Shortfall 1. Restoring the Contingency Fund to its target level will constitute the Council’s highest funding priority following the final draw needed to address the revenue shortfall, absent a super majority vote (i.e. 5 vs. 2) to the contrary: For a revenue shortfall, the replenishment target period is 3 years. <P> OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS. 90 OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONSFor the second year, the President’s Budget reflects a unified approach to budgeting for Department of Defense (DOD), Department of State, and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) operations in conflict areas. <P> Contingency Fund Law & Legal Definition.

salary vs gross pay | <P> Gross pay is what you make before any deductions. If a job is advertised at $30,000 a year, then that's the gross pay. Net pay is what's left after taxes, health benefits and other deductions are taken out of your check. So gross pay of $30,000 would become something like net pay of $22,564. No. Gross pay is the amount before tax, and Nett is the amount after tax has been deducted, so nett is smaller than gross. There is a similar theme in tins of beans. The gross … weight is that with the weight of the tin included, the nett the weight of the beans themselves. <P> Save. ShaunWilkinson/iStock/Getty Images. When you receive a job offer, the salary figure might sound pretty good, but you don’t get to keep all of it. Gross salary is the figure you start with, but deductions such as taxes and your contributions for certain benefits can take a significant bite out of your pay. <P> For instance, an hourly employee may earn $1,500 in gross pay for working 40 hours one week and then $750 in gross pay the next if she works only 20 hours -- there is no guarantee of pay as in a salaried situation. Gross pay may also include pay above and beyond a set salary, such as overtime. For instance, a worker who earns $10 an hour and works 2,732 hours in a year is paid $27,320 in gross pay over the year. <P> Use this Arizona gross pay calculator to gross up wages based on net pay. For example, if an employee receives $500 in take-home pay, this calculator can be used to calculate the gross amount that must be used when calculating payroll taxes. It determines the amount of gross wages before taxes and deductions that are withheld, given a specific take-home pay amount. Like Button. +1 Button. <P> An employee’s gross pay is her wages before you take any deductions out. Gross pay includes all types of compensation, including regular wages; overtime pay; bonuses; commissions; severance pay; and paid benefit days such as vacation, bereavement and sick pay and holidays. Her net pay is her wages after mandatory, or legally required, deductions and voluntary deductions. <P> Defining Gross Pay. An employee's gross pay is the amount of his wages before any deductions, including taxes and benefits. Gross pay may be determined by the amount an employee works, as in hourly pay, or at a set rate, as in a weekly salary. Gross pay may also include pay above and beyond a set salary, such as overtime. For instance, a worker who earns $10 an hour and works 2,732 hours in a year is paid $27,320 in gross pay over the year. <P> Report Abuse. Gross pay is what you earn before taxes. If an employer advertises a job at $30,000 per annum, this is the gross annual pay. The net pay is the amount you receive after tax and specific deductions (different for specific countries). For the US, an employee on a gross annual salary of $30,000 would have a net pay of circa $25,181.25 after federal taxes, medicare etc: salary example here: http://us.icalculator.info/salary_illust.. <P> Gross Wages. As an employee, your gross wages are the total amounts you receive from your employer for services rendered. They includes regular hourly wages, overtime pay, back pay, retroactive pay increases, tips, severance pay, salaries, commissions, bonuses, and piecework pay. Gross Pay vs. Taxable Pay. Your pay stub shows your gross wages, and your W-2 shows your taxable wages. It would be nice if all the money you earned went straight into your pockets, but with the constant threat of taxes, that’s unlikely to happen. <P> While the annual salary represents a floor for an employee's wages, gross pay can exceed that level. For instance, if an employee is paid an annual salary of $23,000 per year, but he is eligible for, and works, $5,000 worth of overtime, his gross pay will be $28,000 -- more than his salary. But while every employee who is paid earns gross pay, not every employee earns a salary. Gross pay may also include pay above and beyond a set salary, such as overtime. For instance, a worker who earns $10 an hour and works 2,732 hours in a year is paid $27,320 in gross pay over the year. | Salary represents a floor for an employee's wages, gross pay can exceed that level. |
how long do i put pork chops on the bbq for | <P> A little brine, a little sauce and a little grill.Huge taste. Start with two slices of boneless pork loin cut about 1 inch thick. Brine in a brown sugar/salt solution to prevent that “dry” pork thing. Baste with your favorite BBQ sauce for just the right flavor. Cook over high heat for speed but not so much to dry out. <P> Place each pork chop in the bag and pour the brine over the top. Place the pork chops and the pork chop brine in the refrigerator for 2 hours. About 30 minutes before the thick-cut pork chops come out of the brine go ahead and start the smoker. The cooking temperature for pork chops needs to be right at 250 degrees with light smoke. <P> For medium-thick pork chops (3/4 to 1 inch), I cook with direct heat. I sear both sides of the chops briefly over high heat to get a nice crust and then move them to an area of less intense heat, cover the grill, and let them cook through. For thick pork chops (1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches), I start with direct heat and finish with indirect heat. I set up one side of the grill the same way as for medium-thick chops, with varying levels of heat. <P> 1 Remove from marinade and cook over medium-high heat on greased grill for no more than 15 minutes or until done. 2 Cooking time for second side is shorter by 1-2 minutes. 3 3/4 or thinner, 5-6 minutes maximum per side, thicker than 3/4 6-7 minutes maximum per side.

Place on a plate and cover with aluminum foil for 5 to 10 minutes to let them rest. This recovery period lets the meat loosen up and the juices flow through the pork chop. This really is the most important part of the whole process. With a hot, hot grill and thin chops you should have them off the grill in 4 to 5 minutes. Grilling Thick Pork Chops: Thick chops need a slower heat to get them cooked without drying them out. What you do want to do however is sear the surface to get them cooking. <P> 6 pork chops, 3/4 inch thick. salt and pepper to taste. 1 cup BBQ sauce, you favorite recipe or brand. Directions. Prepare the grill for high direct heat, preheating until it is ready. Oil the grates. Trim off excess fat and pepper both sides of pork chops. Add to grill over direct high heat with lid closed. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn pork chops over and continue grilling, lid closed, for another 1 minute. Reduce grill to medium low with a gas grill or move chops to a cooler portion of the charcoal grill. Brush a liberal amount of barbecue sauce on the chop and flip <P> 1 Marinate at least 2 hours. 2 Remove from marinade and cook over medium-high heat on greased grill for no more than 15 minutes or until done. 3 Cooking time for second side is shorter by 1-2 minutes. 4 3/4 or thinner, 5-6 minutes maximum per side, thicker than 3/4 6-7 minutes maximum per side.

how to find no. of classes in histogram | <P> 1 Frequency defined as the number of values that fall into each class. 2 Histogram consists of a series of rectangles whose widths are defined by the limits of the classes, and whose heights are determined by the frequency in each interval. <P> To obtain the other upper class limits, you repeatedly add the class width to the first upper class limit until-including the first upper class limit-you have one upper class limit for each class. 8. For each class, count the number of data values in the class. This is the class frequency. You can do this by going through the data values one by one and making a tally mark next to the class where the data value occurs. Counting up the tallies for each class gives the class frequency. <P> (1) Decide on the number of classes (bars) for the histogram. Typically choose this to be 10-20, but if there is a small dataset, choose this smaller. A rule of thumb might be that the number of observations divided by the number of classes should be at least 4. <P> A histogram is a representation of a frequency distribution by means of rectangles whose widths represent class intervals and whose areas are proportional to the corresponding frequencies.. Online Webster's Dictionary Sounds complicated. . . but the concept really is pretty simple. 1 Sample Histogram-This is another example of how a histogram is made, with a focus on the effect of bin size. 2 Shodor Histogram Page-This is a nice interactive histogram page in which you can choose different sample histograms and vary the bin size. 3 Excel Help-To work with large datasets, it helps to use a spreadsheet <P> STEP 2: Decide on the bin values. The bin column allows you to choose the class intervals for the histogram. If you do not include a bin column Excel will choose the class intervals. It is not recommended to let Excel choose. For the first bin value Excel chooses all data items less than and equal to this value. STEP 3: Use Excel’s histogram tool. Type the bin values into the excel spreadsheet. (I usually copy and paste the data column of interest into a new worksheet but it is not necessary.) Look at the first two columns of the worksheet labeled Histogram in the Excel file House Sales in Kaleen 2003. <P> When the data set is relatively small, we divide the range by five. The quotient is the width of the classes for our histogram. We will probably need to do some rounding in this process, which means that the total number of classes may not end up being five. When the data set is relatively large, we divide the range by 20. If there were only one class, then all of the data would fall into this class. Our histogram would simply be a single rectangle with height given by the number of elements in our set of data. This would not make a very helpful or useful <P> You can analyze your data and display it in a histogram (a column chart that displays frequency data) by using the Histogram tool of the Analysis ToolPak in Microsoft Office Excel. To create a histogram, you must organize the data in two columns on the worksheet. These columns must contain input data and bin numbers. Input data is the data that you want to analyze by using the Histogram tool. Bin numbers are the numbers that represent the intervals that you want the Histogram tool to use for measuring the input data in the data analysis. When you use the Histogram tool, Excel counts the number of data points in each data bin. A data point is included in a particular data bin if the number is greater than the lowest bound and equal to or less than the largest bound for the data bin <P> In a histogram, the class frequencies are represented by bars. The height of each bar corresponds to its class frequency. A histogram of these data is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Histogram of scores on a psychology test. The class frequency is then the number of observations that are greater than or equal to the lower bound, and strictly less than the upper bound. For example, one interval might hold times from 4000 to 4999 milliseconds. | When you use the Histogram tool, Excel counts the number of data points in each data bin.A data point is included in a particular data bin if the number is greater than the lowest bound and equal to or less than the largest bound for the data bin. |

overhead usage variance | <P> Overhead spending variance = ((Variable overhead rate x actual hours)+ Budgeted fixed overhead) -Actual overhead cost. $7,000 = ((($5 x 6,400 hours)+$20,000) - $45,000. Overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hours-Actual hours) x Variable overhead rate. $2,000 = ((3,000 x 2 hours) - 6,400) x $5. <P> Variable Manufacturing Overhead Spending Variance. In the analysis above, item 2 shows that based on the 50 direct labor hours actually used, electricity and supplies could reasonably add up to $100 instead of the standard of $84. <P> Cost Variances for Fixed Overhead: Whereas the cost variances for direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead all use the same two formulas, the cost variances for fixed overhead are different, and do not use these formulas at all. <P> Cost Variance. Analyzing your fixed overhead cost, or spending cost, variance can pinpoint whether your actual cost is above or below the standard cost. To calculate the variance, subtract your actual fixed overhead cost from your standard overhead cost. If the actual cost is higher than the fixed cost, the cost variance is unfavorable. For example, your standard fixed overhead cost is $3 per unit. If your actual fixed overhead cost is $4 per unit, you have an unfavorable variance of $1. You spent $1 more per unit than you had originally budgeted. <P> The price variance for variable overhead is called the variable overhead spending variance : Spending variance = PV = AQ x (AP SP). Efficiency variance = EV = SP x (AQ SQ). Where AP is the actual overhead rate used to allocate variable overhead, and SP is the budgeted overhead rate. <P> The favorable difference between the actual cost of $156 and the standard cost of $160 agrees to the sum of the two variances: Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs are debited to overhead cost accounts. | The same two formulas, the cost variances for fixed overhead are different, and do not use these formulas at all. |
what is a fire addict called | <P> Freebasing Cocaine. To understand why addicts want freebasing cocaine, there are a couple of key points. The first is about chemistry and the second has to do with the goals of the addict. Cocaine naturally occurs as an alkaloid. When cocaine is extracted from the plant, this “base” is converted to a salt. <P> Pyromania is one of the categories in the four types of arson, which are recognized. The four include: profit, to cover up an act of crime, for revenge, and pyromania, with pyromania being the second most prominent category. Common synonyms for pyromaniacs in colloquial English include firebug and fire starter. Pyromaniacs start fires to induce euphoria, and often fixate on institutions of fire control like fire stations and firefighters. Pyromania is a type of impulse control disorder, along with kleptomania, intermittent explosive disorder and others. <P> Another drug called naloxone is sometimes used as an emergency treatment to counteract the effects of heroin overdose. For more information, see NIDA’s handbook, Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment. Chronic use of heroin leads to physical dependence, a state in which the body has adapted to the presence of the drug. In addition to the effects of the drug itself, street heroin often contains toxic contaminants or additives that can clog blood vessels leading to the lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain, causing permanent damage to vital organs. Treating Heroin Addiction. <P> Heroin is a highly addictive drug derived from morphine, which is obtained from opium poppy plants. It is a “downer” or depressant that affects the brain’s pleasure systems and interferes with the brain’s ability to perceive pain. Heroin can be used in a variety of ways, depending on user preference and the purity of the drug. Heroin can be injected into a vein (“mainlining”), injected into a muscle, placed on tinfoil and inhaled as smoke through a straw or snorted as powder via the nose. <P> Pyromania is an impulse control disorder in which individuals repeatedly fail to resist impulses to deliberately start fires, in order to relieve tension or for instant gratification. Pyromaniacs start fires to induce euphoria, and often fixate on institutions of fire control like fire stations and firefighters. Pyromania is a type of impulse control disorder, along with kleptomania, intermittent explosive disorder and others. <P> Pyromania and pyromaniacs are distinct from arson, the pursuit of personal, monetary or political gain. It is multiple, deliberate and purposeful fire setting rather than accidental. Pyromaniacs start fires to induce euphoria, and often fixate on institutions of fire control like fire stations and firefighters. Pyromania is a type of impulse control disorder, along with kleptomania, intermittent explosive disorder and others. <P> A child pyromaniac is a child with an impulse-control disorder that is primarily distinguished by a compulsion to set fires in order to relieve built-up tension. The term pyromania comes from the Greek words pyr (fire) and mania (madness) A child pyromaniac is the most rare form of fire setting. <P> Like Bob Seger (see No. 6 on our list of the Top 10 Fire Songs), Bruce Springsteen has a fire raging down below in his Elvis-like ballad from 'Born in the U.S.A.' But the Boss' desire is bad -- he says so himself. And it gives this smoldering song a sense of hopelessness. Like other tracks on our list of the Top 10 Fire Songs,' Seger's 'The Fire Down Below' is all about desire. Doesn't matter who (a cop, some rich dude in a limo) or where (Vegas, Moline) you are, says Seger, people get horned up and often without warning. And there's only one way to put out that fire.

A dipeptide is a sometimes ambiguous designation of two classes of organic compounds: Its molecules contain either two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond or one amino acid with two peptide bonds. 1 -arginine) is a neuroactive dipeptide which plays a role in pain regulation in the brain. 2 Balenine (ja) (or ophidine) (beta-alanyl-N tau-methyl histidine) has been identified in the muscles of several species of mammal (including man), and the chicken. <P> The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an amide bond or a peptide bond. A dipeptide is a molecule consisting of two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond. Proteins are polypeptide molecules (or consist of multiple polypeptide subunits). Peptide-Peptides are short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds. Dipeptide-It is the group of 2 peptides. Polypeptides-It is the group of many peptides. <P> Making a Dipeptide. Different amino acids can be joined together to make a protein. The order of the amino acids determines which protein will be made. When two amino acids are joined together, a dipeptide is formed. A special chemical bond called a peptide bond holds together two amino acids. Proteins usually consist of multiple amino acids that are held together by peptide bonds. So the bigger the protein, the more amino acids and peptide bonds there are. Keep in mind that there are multiple different dipeptides. A dipeptide can consist of any combination of two amino acids. In other words, a dipeptide doesn't have to be made from the same amino acids as in the example above. Below you can see another example of a dipeptide. <P> A dipeptide is a peptide chain which includes two amino acids. Numerous dipeptides are found in nature, performing a variety of functions, and they can also be made in laboratory environments. Dipeptides have a number of commercial and industrial uses in addition to playing an important role in the biology of many species on Earth. <P> Dipeptidases are enzymes secreted by enterocytes into the small intestine. Dipeptidases hydrolyze bound pairs of amino acids, called dipeptides. Dipeptidases are secreted onto the brush border of the villi in the small intestine, where they cleave dipeptides into their two component amino acids prior to absorption. <P> In this usage, X dipeptide (with X designating an amino acid) must be understood as di-X peptide. This nomenclature is continued by tripeptide (three amino acids, two bjkipeptide bonds), tetrapeptide, and so on; longer chains are called oligopeptide, polypeptide, protein. 1 -arginine) is a neuroactive dipeptide which plays a role in pain regulation in the brain. 2 Balenine (ja) (or ophidine) (beta-alanyl-N tau-methyl histidine) has been identified in the muscles of several species of mammal (including man), and the chicken. <P> Dietary proteins are digested to dipeptides and amino acids, and the dipeptides are absorbed more rapidly than the amino acids, because their uptake involves a separate mechanism. Dipeptides activate G-cells found in the stomach to secrete gastrin. 1 -arginine) is a neuroactive dipeptide which plays a role in pain regulation in the brain. 2 Balenine (ja) (or ophidine) (beta-alanyl-N tau-methyl histidine) has been identified in the muscles of several species of mammal (including man), and the chicken. <P> A dipeptide is just two amino acids joined together by a peptide bond. Find out about the function of a dipeptide with help from an experienced biology and chemistry professional in this free video clip. So, their basic structure looks like this. So, what you have here is glycylglycine. So, you have your two different acids and you have them connected by the peptide bond. So, there's not really any one set function for dipeptides. <P> Two amino acid molecules, such as glycine and alanine shown here, can bond together using the carboxylic acid group of one and the amino group of the other by means of a dehydration reaction to form what is called a dipeptide. So, in the reaction above, glycine and alanine molecules are joined together to make a dipeptide molecule of glycylalanine which contains a glycine residue and an alanine residue. | It is a peptide chain which includes two amino acids. |
where phosphorus is found | <P> Most people get plenty of phosphorus in their diets. The mineral is found in milk, grains, and protein rich foods. Some health conditions such as diabetes, starvation, and alcoholism can cause levels of phosphorus in the body to fall. Next to calcium, phosphorus is the most abundant mineral in the body. These 2 important nutrients work closely together to build strong bones and teeth. About 85% of the body's phosphorus is in bones and teeth. Phosphorous is also present in smaller amounts in cells and tissues throughout the body. <P> Phosphorus is commonly misspelled phosphorous. It is an essential component of living systems and is found in nervous tissue, bones and cell protoplasm. Phosphorus exists in several allotropic forms including white (or yellow), red, and black (or violet). White phosphorus has two modifications. Ordinary phosphorus is a waxy white solid. <P> Overview. Phosphorus is found in Group 15 (VA) of the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that that shows how chemical elements are related to each other. Phosphorus is part of the nitrogen family along with nitrogen, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth <P> By Heather Rhoades. The function of phosphorus in plants is very important. It helps a plant convert other nutrients into usable building blocks with which to grow. Phosphorus is one of the main three nutrients most commonly found in fertilizers and is the “P” in the NPK balance that is listed on fertilizers. <P> Phosphorus is a chemical element with symbol P and atomic number 15. As an element, phosphorus exists in two major forms— white phosphorus and red phosphorus —but due to its high reactivity, phosphorus is never found as a free element on Earth. Instead phosphorus-containing minerals are almost always present in their maximally oxidised state, as inorganic phosphate rocks. In 1769 Johan Gottlieb Gahn and Carl Wilhelm Scheele showed that calcium phosphate (Ca 3(PO 4) 2) is found in bones, and they obtained elemental phosphorus from bone ash. Antoine Lavoisier recognized phosphorus as an element in 1777. Bone ash was the major source of phosphorus until the 1840s. <P> Phosphorous is a multivalent nonmetal of the nitrogen group. It is found in nature in several allotropic forms, and is an essential element for the life of organisms. There are several forms of phosphorous, called white, red and black phosphorous, although the their colours are more likely to be slightly different. Health effects of phosphorus. Phosphorus can be found in the environment most commonly as phosphates. Phosphates are important substances in the human body, because they are a part of DNA materials and they take part in energy distribution. Phosphates can also be found commonly in plants <P> 1 Phosphorus is found in most food sources and is a component of many commonly used food additives. 2 The bioavailability of phosphorus from food is usually very high with the exception of phytate phosphorus in plant sources, such as grains, legumes, and seeds, which is poorly digested. ( 3 More information). <P> Phosphorus is a component of bones, and teeth, and many other compounds required for life. Chronic poisoning of people working unprotected with white phosphorus leads to necrosis of the jaw (phossy-jaw). Phosphorus is never found as the free element but is widely distributed in many minerals. Phosphate rock, (apatite, impure calcium phosphate), is an important source of the element. Large deposits are found in Morocco, in Russia, and in the USA. It is an essential component of living systems and is found in nervous tissue, bones and cell protoplasm. Phosphorus exists in several allotropic forms including white (or yellow), red, and black (or violet). White phosphorus has two modifications. Ordinary phosphorus is a waxy white solid. <P> Phosphorus is not found free in nature, but it is widely distributed in many minerals, mainly phosphates. Inorganic phosphate rock, which is partially made of apatite (an impure tri-calcium phosphate mineral), is today the chief commercial source of this element. In 1769 Johan Gottlieb Gahn and Carl Wilhelm Scheele showed that calcium phosphate (Ca 3(PO 4) 2) is found in bones, and they obtained elemental phosphorus from bone ash. Antoine Lavoisier recognized phosphorus as an element in 1777. Bone ash was the major source of phosphorus until the 1840s. | Nervous tissue, bones and cell protoplasm. |
what causes swollen tongue | <P> An enlarged or swollen tongue can also occur as an allergic reaction to medications or other substances. In this case, the swelling is due to fluid accumulation in the tissues of the tongue, medically known as angioedema. <P> Swelling of the tongue can occur due to inflammation of the tongue (known as glossitis), the presence of abnormal substances (such as amyloid protein) in the tongue, the collection of fluid in the tongue as a result of different disease processes, or tumors that infiltrate the tissues of the tongue. <P> There are many possible causes of a swollen tongue. A swollen tongue can result from such abnormal processes as infection, inflammation, allergy, genetic disorders, trauma, malignancy and metabolic diseases. Some causes of a swollen tongue are serious, even life-threatening, such as a anaphylactic reaction. <P> 1 Allergens. 2 In addition to allergic reactions to medications, allergic reactions to other substances — such as foods or bee stings — can cause swelling. 3 In food allergies and bee sting allergies, the tongue can swell, but it is less common to have a swollen tongue than it is to have a swollen throat or lips. 4 Infection. <P> A swollen tongue is a symptom of a variety of diseases, disorders and conditions. Some causes of a swollen tongue are serious, even life threatening, such as an anaphylactic reaction. Other causes may be relatively mild, such as a small cut when you have bitten your tongue. <P> 1 In addition to allergic reactions to medications, allergic reactions to other substances — such as foods or bee stings — can cause swelling. 2 In food allergies and bee sting allergies, the tongue can swell, but it is less common to have a swollen tongue than it is to have a swollen throat or lips. 3 Infection. <P> A swollen tongue is an abnormal condition in which the entire tongue or a portion of it is enlarged, bloated or distended. Your tongue is made up of muscles and the upper surface is lined with taste buds. Your tongue helps you to talk, swallow, taste and chew. <P> A swollen tongue can result from infection, inflammation, allergy, genetic disorders, trauma, malignancy, metabolic diseases, and other abnormal processes. A chronically swollen tongue over a long period of time can be due to acromegaly, sarcoma, oral cancer, or Down syndrome. | A swollen tongue can result from such abnormal processes as infection, inflammation, allergy, genetic disorders, trauma, malignancy and metabolic diseases. Some causes of a swollen tongue are serious, even life-threatening, such as a anaphylactic reaction. |
health risks with taking ephedrine | <P> Ephedra is banned in the U.S. Ephedra can also cause less serious side effects including dizziness, restlessness, anxiety, irritability, heart pounding, headache, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and others. Do not use ephedra with other stimulants such as caffeine. This might increase the chance of having side effects, including life-threatening ones. Sources of caffeine include coffee, tea, kola nut, guarana, and mate. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Ephedra is LIKELY UNSAFE. <P> The ECA stack is a drug combination used in weight loss and as a stimulant. ECA is an initialism for ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin, with variants of it including the EC stack, which removes the aspirin for those who can not tolerate it. <P> 1 Ephedra can produce modest weight loss when used with exercise and a low-fat diet, but it can cause serious side effects, even in healthy people who follow product dosage directions. 2 Taking ephedra seems to produce weight loss of approximately 0.9 kg (about 2 pounds) per month for up to 6 months. Do not use ephedra with other stimulants such as caffeine. This might increase the chance of having side effects, including life-threatening ones. Sources of caffeine include coffee, tea, kola nut, guarana, and mate. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Ephedra is LIKELY UNSAFE. <P> 1 Combining ephedra with caffeine increases the risk of potentially serious side effects. 2 Tell all your health care providers about any complementary health approaches you use. 3 Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. 4 This will help ensure coordinated and safe care. Side Effects and Cautions. 1 In 2004, the FDA banned the U.S. sale of dietary supplements containing ephedra. 2 The FDA found that these supplements had an unreasonable risk of injury or illness—particularly cardiovascular complications—and a risk of death. <P> Ephedra and ephedrine promote modest shortterm weight loss; their long-term effect is unknown. Ephedrine plus caffeine boosts immediate physical performance for fit young men; there is no evidence that ephedra or ephedrine improves long-term physical performance of athletes or would work for the general public. Ephedra and ephedrine increase the risk of nausea, vomiting, jitteriness, and palpitations. Studies of Athletic Performance. We found no studies that assessed the effects of ephedra-containing dietary supplements on athletic performance. Thus we analyzed only studies of products containing ephedrine or ephedrine plus caffeine— seven studies in all. <P> 1 Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and children should avoid taking ephedra. 2 Ephedra use may lead to serious health problems when used with other dietary supplements or medicines. 3 Combining ephedra with caffeine increases the risk of potentially serious side effects. Side Effects and Cautions. 1 In 2004, the FDA banned the U.S. sale of dietary supplements containing ephedra. 2 The FDA found that these supplements had an unreasonable risk of injury or illness—particularly cardiovascular complications—and a risk of death. <P> Overall, the effects on weight loss of synthetic ephedrine plus caffeine and ephedra plus herbs containing caffeine were equivalent: weight loss of approximately 2 pounds/month more than was associated with placebo for up to 4 or 6 months of use. 1 The Chinese botanical ephedra, or ma-huang, is sold as a dietary supplement in the United States. 2 It is a natural source of the alkaloids ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. 3 Some dietary supplement products used for weight loss and to enhance athletic performance contain these alkaloids. <P> Over the short term (four to six months), ephedrine, ephedrine plus caffeine, and supplements containing ephedra or ephedra plus caffeine promoted modest increases in weight loss, about two pounds per month more than the weight loss of persons taking the placebo. Studies of Athletic Performance. We found no studies that assessed the effects of ephedra-containing dietary supplements on athletic performance. Thus we analyzed only studies of products containing ephedrine or ephedrine plus caffeine— seven studies in all. <P> Ephedrine is available in generic form. Common side effects of Ephedrine include nervousness, anxiety, dizziness, spinning sensation (vertigo), headache, nausea, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping (insomnia), palpitations, and sweating. The dosage of Ephedrine is based on the patient's medical condition and response to therapy. Due to the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using this drug is not recommended.

what is the function of osteons | <P> The osteon or haversian system /həˈvɜr.ʒən/ (named for Clopton Havers) is the fundamental functional unit of much compact bone. Osteons are roughly cylindrical structures that are typically several millimeters long and around 0.2mm in diameter. The haversian canal contains the bone's blood supplies. The boundary of an osteon is the cement line. Between adjoining osteons, there are angular intervals that are occupied by interstitial lamellae. These lamellae are remnants of osteons that have been mostly destroyed. <P> An osteon is the functional unit of cortical bone. Osteons contain osteocytes, which are cells that produce bone matrix. 3 people found this useful. Edit. Canaliculi are the veins of the bone connecting the osteons trapped in the lacunae (osteoblast containing pockets) to the blood supply located in the center of the bone. the center of the bone called the central canal or haversian canal holds nerves and blood vesels. <P> Each osteon consists of concentric layers, or lamellae, of compact bone tissue that surround a central canal, the Haversian canal. The Haversian canal contains the bone’s nerve and blood supplies. The osteon, or Haversian system, is the fundamental functional unit of much compact bone. Osteons, roughly cylindrical structures that are typically several millimeters long and around 0.2 mm in diameter. The space between osteons is occupied by interstitial lamellae, which are the remnants of osteons that were partially resorbed during the process of bone remodelling. Osteons are connected to each other and the periosteum by oblique channels called Volkmann’s canals. <P> Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. Osteons (also called Haversian systems) form the basic structural unit of bone. Inside osteons we find the haversion canal-a central canal that contains the bone's nerve and blood supplies. The haversion canals surround these blood vessels and nerve cells. Canaliculi are the veins of the bone connecting the osteons trapped in the lacunae (osteoblast containing pockets) to the blood supply located in the center of the bone. the center of the bone called the central canal or haversian canal holds nerves and blood vesels. <P> Adorable animal families that will make you aww. The osteon is the primary structure that makes up the hard outer layer of bones, which is generally known as “ cortical bone .” Cortical bone, or compact bone, is dense, mature bone found in vertebrates such as mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. It is this dense hard layer that gives a person or animal strength. <P> Compact Bone. Compact bone consists of closely packed osteons or haversian systems. The osteon consists of a central canal called the osteonic (haversian) canal, which is surrounded by concentric rings (lamellae) of matrix. Between the rings of matrix, the bone cells (osteocytes) are located in spaces called lacunae. There are two types of bone tissue: compact and spongy. The names imply that the two types differ in density, or how tightly the tissue is packed together. There are three types of cells that contribute to bone homeostasis. <P> Histology of compact bone showing osteon. Each osteon consists of concentric layers, or lamellae, of compact bone tissue that surround a central canal, the haversian canal. The haversian canal contains the bone's blood supplies.

They don't really-they only appear to move east to west, due to the Earth's rotation...same as the sun. <P> The stars move across the sky a little faster than the sun. This difference arises because the stars appear to move only because of Earth’s rotation, while the sun also appears to move because the Earth goes around the sun once a year. <P> There are actually two different reasons why stars appear to move across our sky. The first is because the Earth is spinning and second because the Earth itself is moving around the Sun. As the Earth travels around the sun (once a year), it is as if we are sitting on a Waltzer ride at the funfair. <P> Stars appear to move across the night sky for the same reason that the sun appears to move across the day sky.

A two to three pound tenderloin will take 30 to 40 minutes to reach medium rare and 45 to 50 minutes to reach medium. <P> 1 Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. 2 Place beef in the skillet; cook until brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side. 3 Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 tablespoon butter, shallots, and a pinch of salt; cook until shallots are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. 1 Roast in the preheated oven until meat is medium rare, about 45 minutes. 2 An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). 3 Transfer meat to a plate and loosely tent with foil. 4 Set skillet over high heat and bring pan juices to a boil. <P> 1 Place beef in the skillet; cook until brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side. 2 Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 tablespoon butter, shallots, and a pinch of salt; cook until shallots are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. 1 Roast in the preheated oven until meat is medium rare, about 45 minutes. 2 An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). 3 Transfer meat to a plate and loosely tent with foil. 4 Set skillet over high heat and bring pan juices to a boil. <P> Cooking a Beef Tenderloin. Raw tenderloin Photo Credit Lilyana Vynogradova/iStock/Getty Images. In a 425 degree Fahrenheit oven, it will take a beef tenderloin about 45 minutes to cook. An hour before you cook your beef tenderloin, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature. Place the seasoned beef tenderloin on a roasting rack set inside a shallow pan and carefully place the pan on the upper middle rack of your oven. Roast it until the thickest part of the beef tenderloin registers at 125 F with a kitchen thermometer. It is important that you allow the beef tenderloin plenty of time to rest after cooking and before carving to allow the meat to firm up to the optimal texture. Carving the roast too soon will produce soft and flabby pieces, while giving a long rest of 30 minutes will greatly improve the texture of the finished meat. <P> Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Place the tenderloin on a roasting rack. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and sugar, which will deepen the savory flavors. Press the crushed peppercorns all over the surface of the meat. Insert a meat thermometer and place in the oven until the beef registers 120 to 125 degrees F for medium-rare/rare. Beef will probably cook in 20 to 25 minutes depending on its temp before it goes in the oven. While the meat is roasting, melt the butter with the garlic in a small skillet, and allow the butter to slightly brown. <P> Start with beef tenderloin steaks cut 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick (1 inch for grilling). Trim fat from steaks. Season as desired. Timings below are based on meat removed directly from the refrigerator. (For gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust heat for indirect cooking.) Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. The temperature of the meat will rise 10°F during the standing time. <P> Put the tenderloins on a rack in a roasting pan, and roast them in a 450°F oven. After about 15 minutes, check the internal temperature with a probe thermometer. For a tenderloin that's medium-rare, look for an internal temperature of 120°F. For medium, the internal temperature should be 125°F. <P> Method: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Put 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/2 tablespoon of the rosemary, thyme, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper into a small bowl and mix well. Rub mixture all over beef; set aside. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 130°F, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer beef to a platter, tent with foil and set aside. Toss potatoes and carrots and continue to roast until tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes more. <P> Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. The temperature of the meat will rise during this time (this is reflected in the timings below).

where are bluebells found in london | <P> The bluebell is a quintessential sign of British springtime, with the vast spreads of tiny blue flowers found across Britain in April and May. In fact, the UK's woodlands are home to almost 50% of the global population of our native bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta). With its unique scent and the very delicate form and structure of the flowers, it is an extremely special flower, say experts. Watch videos about bluebells at BBC Nature. But our native bluebell is now under threat from an aggressive hybrid. And with the UK being home to such a large chunk of the world's population, it means this bluebell is threatened on a global scale. It's ringing alarm bells for conservationists. <P> Hyacinthoides non-scripta has a bulb and nodding heads of blue flowers; it is native to western Europe, where it is found in deciduous woodlands, flowering in late April or early May. A woodland floor covered with flowering bluebells is a stunning sight, and often forms a popular, seasonal tourist attraction. Threats and conservation. In the UK, Hyacinthoides non-scripta is protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) which prohibits landowners from removing bluebells from their land for sale, and prohibits anyone from digging up bulbs from the countryside. <P> There are two species of bluebell found in the UK.

incubation periods for childhood illnesses | <P> Below are examples of the incubation periods for some infections: 1 chickenpox: 1-3 weeks. 2 diphtheria: 2-5 days. 3 flu: usually around 1-3 days. 4 measles: about 10-12 days, with a further 2-4 days before the rash appears. 5 mumps: around 17 days, with a range of 12-25 days. Incubation periods vary, depending on the type of infection. The incubation period is the time between catching an infection and symptoms appearing. <P> Incubation period: Between 1 and 3 weeks. Infectious period: The most infectious time is 1-2 days before the rash appears, but it continues to be infectious until all the blisters have crusted over. Symptoms: Chickenpox is a mild infectious disease that most children catch at some time. It starts with feeling unwell, a rash and, usually, a fever. Incubation period: 1-20 days. Infectious period: A few days before the rash appears (children are no longer contagious when the rash appears). Symptoms: 1 It begins with a fever and nasal discharge. 2 A bright red rash, like the mark left by a slap, appears on the cheeks. <P> Incubation period: In medicine, the time from the moment of exposure to an infectious agent until signs and symptoms of the disease appear. For example, the incubation period of chickenpox is 14-16 days. In biology, the incubation period is the time needed for any particular process of development to take place. <P> While latent or latency period may be synonymous, a distinction is sometimes made between incubation period, the period between infection and clinical onset of the disease, and latent period, the time from infection to infectiousness. Which is shorter depends on the disease. A person may be a carrier of a disease, such as Streptococcus in the throat, without exhibiting any symptoms. Depending on the disease, the person may or may not be contagious during the incubation period. During clinical latency, an infection is subclinical. With respect to viral infections, in clinical latency the virus is actively replicating <P> Slapped cheek disease (also known as fifth disease or parvovirus B19). Incubation period: 1-20 days. Infectious period: A few days before the rash appears (children are no longer contagious when the rash appears). Symptoms: 1 It begins with a fever and nasal discharge. 2 A bright red rash, like the mark left by a slap, appears on the cheeks. <P> Chickenpox incubation period. Chickenpox (varicella) is a common, highly contagious, viral infectious disease of childhood. Usually mild, it’s characterised by a very itchy rash that can spread over the whole body. In the UK, it is common and most cases occur during winter and spring. The incubation period is seven to 21 (usually 10 to 21) days after exposure to the herpes varicella-zoster virus to the development of the symptoms. The disease is most contagious a day or two before the rash appears and until the rash is completely dry and scabbed over, about five to six days after onset of the rash. <P> Incubation and Contagious Periods of Infections Young children get infectious diseases 10 to 15 times per year. As they get older, children get sick less often. This is because with each new infection their bodies build up antibodies that will defend the body if the same germ attacks in the future. <P> Young children get infectious diseases 10 to 15 times per year. As they get older, children get sick less often. This is because with each new infection their bodies build up antibodies that will defend the body if the same germ attacks in the future. The incubation period is the time between being exposed to a disease and when the symptoms start. If your child was around someone who is sick and the incubation time has gone by, then your child was probably not infected and won't get sick.

what are two genes that regulate cell division | <P> A variety of genes are involved in the control of cell growth and division. The cell cycle is the cell’s way of replicating itself in an organized, step-by-step fashion. Apoptosis protects the body by removing genetically damaged cells that could lead to cancer, and it plays an important role in the development of the embryo and the maintenance of adult tissues. Cancer results from a disruption of the normal regulation of the cell cycle. <P> 1 HER-2/neu encodes for a cell surface receptor that can stimulate cell division. 2 The HER-2/neu gene is amplified in up to 30% of human breast cancers. 3 RAS. 4 The Ras gene products are involved in kinase signaling pathways that ultimately control transcription of genes, regulating cell growth and differentiation. A few important tumor-suppressor genes: 1 p53: a transcription factor that regulates cell division and cell death. 2 Rb: alters the activity of transcription factors and therefore controls cell division. 3 APC: controls the availability of a transcription factor. <P> Best Answer: Countless types of genes are involved in cell division, but it sounds like you're going for proto-oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes. Proto-oncogenes push the cell forward through the cell cycle, and tumor-suppressor genes put the brakes on the cell cycle, so to speak, when the cell isn't yet ready to divide. Mutations in either of these types of genes can lead to cancer, which is uncontrolled cell division <P> The cell cycle is controlled by the products of two classes of genes, proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Normally the expression of these genes is balanced. 1. Proto-oncogenes encode proteins that promote cell division (These proteins act like the gas pedal on a car. 2. Cyclins: a family of proteins that regulate the timing of the cell cycle. These proteins trigger cell division. Internal regulators: several proteins make sure the cell cycle does not proceed unless certain processes have happened inside the cell. <P> Oncogenes are mutated genes whose PRESENCE can stimulate the development of cancer. When oncogenes arise in normal cells, they can contribute to the development of cancer by telling cells to make proteins that stimulate excessive cell growth and division. Oncogenes are gain of function genes. A few important tumor-suppressor genes: 1 p53: a transcription factor that regulates cell division and cell death. 2 Rb: alters the activity of transcription factors and therefore controls cell division. 3 APC: controls the availability of a transcription factor. <P> In the late stages of cancer, cells break through normal tissue boundaries and metastasize (spread) to new sites in the body. In normal cells, hundreds of genes intricately control the process of cell division. Normal growth requires a balance between the activity of those genes that promote cell proliferation and those that suppress it. It also relies on the activities of genes that signal when damaged cells should undergo apoptosis. For example, many cancer cells carry two mutant copies of the gene that codes for p53, a multifunctional protein that normally senses DNA damage and acts as a transcription factor for checkpoint control genes. Gene mutations accumulate over time as a result of independent events. <P> The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication) that produces two daughter cells. In prokaryotes which lack a cell nucleus, the cell cycle occurs via a process termed binary fission. <P> Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor. For example, many cancer cells carry two mutant copies of the gene that codes for p53, a multifunctional protein that normally senses DNA damage and acts as a transcription factor for checkpoint control genes. Gene mutations accumulate over time as a result of independent events. | Proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes |
where did the vampire originate? | <P> Vampires proper originate in folklore widely reported from Eastern Europe in the late 17th and 18th centuries. These tales formed the basis of the vampire legend that later entered Germany and England, where they were subsequently embellished and popularized. According to the paper, if the first vampire had appeared on 1 January 1600, and it fed once a month (which is less often than what is depicted in films and folklore), and every victim turned into a vampire, then within two and a half years the entire human population of the time would have become vampires. <P> The History Of Vampires. In recent years, the ‘new’ vampire has taken over the world, leaving people with little imagination, or information on the true root of these demons. Vampires are an immortal species, a fact that is still consistent in our literature today. In a jealous rage, Set began feeding on humans, creating more vampires to overtake his brother and gain his position of power. He and the new vampires murdered Osiris, making Set the pharaoh. <P> Merriam-Webster, on the other hand, contends that vampir is originally Serbian and that the Hungarian word traces a path from Serbia, through Germany, to Hungary. The word entered English through German as well. English usage dates to at least 1734. Bram Stoker wrote the novel Dracula in 1897. The exact origin of Vampire is disputed. Most sources, including the Oxford English Dictionary, derive it from the Hungarian vampir. The word has cognates in several Slavic tongues and may originally derive from the northern Turkish ubyr or uber, meaning witch <P> Despite being one of the oldest and most prevalent creatures of world mythology, the origin of vampires has remained unknown for thousands of years. It wasn't until the Scriptures of Delphi were found that we were given a glimpse into the early vampire history. <P> However, it is Bram Stoker 's 1897 novel Dracula which is remembered as the quintessential vampire novel and provided the basis of the modern vampire legend. The success of this book spawned a distinctive vampire genre, still popular in the 21st century, with books, films, and television shows. According to the paper, if the first vampire had appeared on 1 January 1600, and it fed once a month (which is less often than what is depicted in films and folklore), and every victim turned into a vampire, then within two and a half years the entire human population of the time would have become vampires. <P> The mythological creature known as the vampire originated in the Balkans, likely ultimately inspired by older Sumerian myths. Contrary to popular belief, Vlad Dracula had nothing to do with the myth. Vampires pre-dated him by centuries, and nobody, especially the Romanians, actually believed that he might have been a vampire until Bram Stoker's Dracula was released. ----- Vampires aren't a myth. They have faded into stories since the 1700s. Vampires exist, like normal everyday people do. They just aren't as stupidly fierce as the stories believe. D*** it!!! Vampire are not real...c'mon... <P> The vampire is now a fixture in popular fiction. Such fiction began with 18th-century poetry and continued with 19th-century short stories, the first and most influential of which was John Polidori 's The Vampyre (1819), featuring the vampire Lord Ruthven. According to the paper, if the first vampire had appeared on 1 January 1600, and it fed once a month (which is less often than what is depicted in films and folklore), and every victim turned into a vampire, then within two and a half years the entire human population of the time would have become vampires. <P> The origin of the vampire race remains a mystery. Contrary to popular belief, in the Twilight universe, vampires deviate from those of traditional myth; a fact often alluded to in the series, usually for humor. <P> A vampire is a mythical being who subsists by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures. In folkloric tales, undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive. According to the paper, if the first vampire had appeared on 1 January 1600, and it fed once a month (which is less often than what is depicted in films and folklore), and every victim turned into a vampire, then within two and a half years the entire human population of the time would have become vampires. | In Eastern Europe |

how much do fillers cost | <P> 1 Wrinkle.org also has their price list for every type of filler. 2 Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast can cost anywhere from $250 to $ 650 while Juverderm, Rystelane and Perlane both cost between $600 and $1,000. 3 The cost of simple botox ranges from $200 to $500. How much does it cost? 1 Depending on the type of filler thati s going to be used, the costs of wrinkle cream can range anywhere from as little as $200 to as much as $1,700 per treatment. <P> The cost of treatment with dermal fillers will vary depending on what type of filler you are having, how many areas are being treated and the clinic you are having your treatment at. It will also depend on how much filler is being injected. Prices can range from anything between £150 to more than £700 per treatment. <P> According to the American Association of Cosmetic Surgeons, the average cost for fillers is $800 per session. According to other sources, it's more like $925. Either way, though, this price can vary widely depending on a number of factors. The only sure way to know what your price for a particular dermal filler procedure would be is to talk to the doctor you've chosen to perform it. Partly this is the cost of the filler, and partly it is because 10 syringes takes quite a bit more time to inject then just one, so you have to pay more for taking up the more of the doctor's time and the clinic's space. <P> 1 The cost of wrinkle filler would depend on the type your choose to get. 2 Cosmeticprocedureinfo.org states that the LaViv filler treatment can cost a total of $2,000. 3 Captique and Perlane fillers, on the other hand, cost $500 and $500-800 per syringe. 4 Radiesse fillers can cost between $1,000 and $1,600 per syringe.

what do yeast cells and bacteria have in common | <P> Yeast. Yeast is a single-celled organism. Like bacterial cells, yeast cells have cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall. But unlike bacterial cells, yeast cells have a nucleus. Page: 1 1. 2 2. 3 3. 4 4. <P> Yeasts are eucaryotic single celled fungi which reproduce by budding or fission. In brewing, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the Genus and Species that is of the most significance. <P> The term yeast is often taken as a synonym for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but the phylogenetic diversity of yeasts is shown by their placement in two separate phyla: the Ascomycota and the Basidiomycota. The budding yeasts (true yeasts) are classified in the order Saccharomycetales. Yeast, the most common one being S. cerevisiae, is used in baking as a leavening agent, where it converts the food /fermentable sugars present in dough into the gas carbon dioxide. This causes the dough to expand or rise as gas forms pockets or bubbles. <P> Most yeasts used in baking are of the same species common in alcoholic fermentation. In addition, Saccharomyces exiguus (also known as S. minor), a wild yeast found on plants, fruits, and grains, is occasionally used for baking. Yeast, the most common one being S. cerevisiae, is used in baking as a leavening agent, where it converts the food /fermentable sugars present in dough into the gas carbon dioxide. This causes the dough to expand or rise as gas forms pockets or bubbles. <P> well yeast is a bacteria, so im guessing it would be an animal cell. No, this is wrong! There are 3 types of micro-organism-Virus, bacteria and fungi. Yeast is a fun … gi. Yeast cells have many organelles in common with both animal and plant cells but it is very difficult to assign one or the other to a yeast cell. <P> There are mitochondria in yeast cells. There are no chloroplasts in yeast cells. Yeast cells do contain ribosomes, the same size as ribosomes in animal and plant cells. Some of these yeast cells have small outgrowths-buds-so they are about to reproduce. Yeast cell (sectional view) <P> Yeasts, like all fungi, may have asexual and sexual reproductive cycles. The most common mode of vegetative growth in yeast is asexual reproduction by budding. Here, a small bud (also known as a bleb), or daughter cell, is formed on the parent cell. Yeast, the most common one being S. cerevisiae, is used in baking as a leavening agent, where it converts the food /fermentable sugars present in dough into the gas carbon dioxide. This causes the dough to expand or rise as gas forms pockets or bubbles. <P> All living things are made up of cells. The structures of different types of cells are related to their functions. Animal cells and plant cells have features in common, such as a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. Plant and algal cells also have a cell wall, and often have chloroplasts and a permanent vacuole. Bacterial and yeast cells have different structures to animal and plant cells. <P> Yeast cells can also reproduce sexually. Yeast cells exist as one of two different mating types, a cells and alpha cells. When cells of opposite mating types are mixed together in the lab or randomly come into contact in nature they can mate (conjugate). When yeast cells are grown in rich carbon sources such as glucose they prefer to grow by fermentation. During fermentation glucose is converted into carbon dioxide and ethanol. Generally, fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen, and is therefore anaerobic by nature. <P> No, this is wrong! There are 3 types of micro-organism-Virus, bacteria and fungi.

what was the long term consequence of the sharecropping system | <P> During Reconstruction, however, the conflict over labor resulted in the sharecropping system, in which black families would rent small plots of land in return for a portion of their crop, to be given to the landowner at the end of each year. Instead of receiving wages for working an owner’s land–and having to submit to supervision and discipline–most freedmen preferred to rent land for a fixed payment rather than receive wages. By the early 1870s, the system known as sharecropping had come to dominate agriculture across the cotton-planting South. <P> EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ON SHARECROPPING. BIBLIOGRAPHY. A sharecropping arrangement is an agrarian contract between a landlord and a tenant in which the tenant pays a fraction of the crop to the landlord in exchange for the right to exploit the landlord ’ s plot of land. Sharecropping is a system of agriculture whereby the farmer who works the land receives proceeds of a portion of the crop harvest in return for his labor. After the American Civil War (1861 – 1865), the South was in ruins <P> The absence of cash or an independent credit system led to the creation of sharecropping. Sharecropping is a system where the landlord/planter allows a tenant to use the land in exchange for a share of the crop. This encouraged tenants to work to produce the biggest harvest that they could, and ensured they would remain tied to the land and unlikely to leave for other opportunities. <P> At the same time, most of the former slaves had labor but no money and no land; they rejected the kind of gang labor that typified slavery. A solution was the sharecropping system focused on cotton, which was the only crop that could generate cash for the croppers, landowners, merchants and the tax collector. Poor white farmers, who previously had done little cotton farming, needed cash as well and became sharecroppers. The disadvantages of sharecropping, however, soon became apparent. A new system of credit, the crop lien, became closely associated with sharecropping. Under this system, a planter or merchant extended a line of credit to the sharecropper while taking the year’s crop as collateral. <P> The scene was photographed by Dorothea Lange in 1936. Sharecropping is an agricultural system which developed in the Southern states during the Civil War. It was a farm tenancy system in which families worked a farm or section of land in return for a share of the crop rather than wages. Sharecropping replaced the plantation system destroyed by the Civil War. <P> Sharecropping is a farming system where the farmer doesn't own the land he is working on. He does the work for money or sometimes for a portion of the crops that are grown. Sharecropping exists outside of teh U.S., generally in underdeveloped economies. Sharecropping happened after the civil war during reconstruction. White landowners would let former slaves and poor white farmers farm their land, then the 2 would share the profits from the crops. SHARECROPPING [sharecropping] system of farm tenancy once common in some parts of the United States. <P> Definition: Sharecropping was a system of agriculture instituted in the American South in the period of Reconstruction after the Civil War. It essentially replaced the plantation system which had existed, with slave labor, in the years before the war. In sharecropping, a poor farmer who did not own land would work a plot belonging to a landowner. The farmer would receive a share of the harvest as payment. <P> Sharecropping is a system of agriculture in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crops produced on their portion of land. Sharecropping has a long history and there are a wide range of different situations and types of agreements that have used a form of the system. The disadvantages of sharecropping, however, soon became apparent. A new system of credit, the crop lien, became closely associated with sharecropping. Under this system, a planter or merchant extended a line of credit to the sharecropper while taking the year’s crop as collateral. <P> Farm Tenancy System.
