how to decrease humidity in incubator | <P> If there are no trays of water in the incubator, it is probably a combination of where you live and the humidity being put off by the eggs themselves. I don't think there would be anything you could do to reduce it. However, unless you are doing a dry hatch, I would recommend keeping some water at all times in the incubator so too much humidity is not taken out of the eggs. If the eggs dry out, they may not be able to hatch because the chicks will get stuck inside. Lisa Taylor. Taylor Hobby Farms. <P> Answers. Best Answer: Humidity is a function of temperature because the hotter it is the more moisture the air can hold. So, without adding water air that is cool and then warmed will lose relative humidity. In my greenhouse as daytime temps go from 50 to 120 relative humidity goes from about 35% to 5%. I am trying to hatch bearded dragons from eggs for the first time. Ive done some Research and i bought a hobivator incubator. I know bearded dragon eggs need to be exposed to a temperature some where around 82 degrees with a humidity around 70%-90%. I have my incubator at 82 degrees but the humidity is only at about 65%. I put alot of water in the water tray that came with it <P> Controlling Humidity. If you need to increase or decrease the humidity in your incubator beyond what can be accomplished by adjusting the vents then you will need to increase or decrease the surface area of water in the incubator. An easy method of turning eggs during storage before incubation is to put the eggs point down in an egg carton and place one end on a tissue box or equivalent height object. Once a day, move the carton to the other side of the box tilting the eggs from side to side. <P> 8. Adjust the humidity levels in the incubator. Humidity should be around 45 to 50 percent throughout incubation, except during the last three days when you will want to raise it to 65 percent. You may need higher or lower humidity levels depending on the type of eggs you wish to hatch. <P> This is critical on homemade incubators. It is possible to suffocate the eggs and chicks in air-tight container. The relative humidity of the air within an incubator for the first 18 days should be able 60 percent. During the last 3 days (the hatching period) the relative humidity should be nearer 65-70 percent. Too much moisture in the incubator prevents normal evaporation and results in a decreased hatch, but excessive moisture is seldom a problem in small incubators <P> I could open the incubator doors but then the temperature would decrease. I will put a tray of water in to stop the eggs drying out, hadn't thought of that thanks. It is going to be cooler over the next few days which will lower the external humidity and therefore lower the internal humidity of the incubator. Reply.

If the eggs dry out, they may not be able to hatch because the chicks will get stuck inside. Lisa Taylor.

If the eggs dry out, they may not be able to hatch because the chicks will get stuck inside. Lisa Taylor. Taylor Hobby Farms. <P> During the last 2-3 days of incubation the eggs no longer need to be turned but they will require extra humidity. Each type of incubator will have suggestions as to how to increase the humidity at this time. Usually this involves closing air vents and adding more water to the incubator.

what structures are used by bacteriophages to attach to host cell receptors | <P> In order to infect a host cell, the bacteriophage attaches itself to the bacteria’s cell wall, specifically on a receptor found on the bacteria’s surface. Once it becomes tightly bound to the cell, the bacterial virus injects its genetic material (its nucleic acid) into the host cell. <P> These structures are used by bacteriophages to attach to host cell receptors: A) sheath B) tail fibers C) nucleic acid D) capsid head E) none of the choices are correct. B) tail fibers. Steps in Bacteriophage Replication. Adsorption, Penetration (different from regular virus, genome enters host cell, not the virus), Replication, Synthesis and Assembly, Maturation(completion of viral formation), Release(viruses leave cells to infect other cells). <P> The bacterial ligand, called an adhesin, is typically a macromolecular component of the bacterial cell surface which interacts with the host cell receptor. Adhesins and receptors usually interact in a complementary and specific fashion. The host receptors are usually glycoproteins located on the cell membrane or tissue surface. Several types of experiments provide direct evidence that receptor and/or adhesin molecules mediate specificity of adherence of bacteria to host cells or tissues. These include: 1. <P> In this electron micrograph of bacteriophages attached to a bacterial cell, the viruses are the size and shape of coliphage T1. To enter a host cell, bacteriophages attach to specific receptors on the surface of bacteria, including lipopolysaccharides, teichoic acids, proteins, or even flagella. As the lysogenic cycle allows the host cell to continue to survive and reproduce, the virus is reproduced in all of the cell’s offspring. An example of a bacteriophage known to follow the lysogenic cycle and the lytic cycle is the phage lambda of E. coli. <P> The tail fibers attach to specific receptors on the bacterial cell and the host specificity of the phage (i.e. the bacteria that it is able to infect) is usually determined by the type of tail fibers that a phage has. The nature of the bacterial receptor varies for different bacteria. Bacteriophage (phage) are obligate intracellular parasites that multiply inside bacteria by making use of some or all of the host biosynthetic machinery (i.e., viruses that infect bacteria.). There are many similarities between bacteriophages and animal cell viruses. <P> Bacteriophage is a virus that attacks bacteria. When bacteriophage typically attaches to the bacterium and then injects nucleic acid into it and then the ghost virus prote … in stays outside. When it has replicated multiple times within the host cell. They need to be liberated, so they disrupt the membrane and burst open, thereby killing the infected host cell. <P> Bacteriophage From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A bacteriophage (from 'bacteria' and Greek phagein, 'to eat') is any one of a number of viruses that infect bacteria. The term is commonly used in its shortened form, phage. Typically, bacteriophages consist of an outer protein hull enclosing genetic material. Diagram of bacteriophage structure Release of virions Phages may be released via cell lysis or by host cell secretion. In the case of the T4 phage, in just over twenty minutes after injection upwards of three hundred phages will be released via lysis within a certain timescale. <P> Viruses usually prefer specific types of cells from specific animals or plants because their genetic makeup and the proteins that they have available to use to attach to and e … nter the cell to make it change its function and work for the virus instead of the host, are also specific for infecting those cells.

When it has replicated multiple times within the host cell. They need to be liberated, so they disrupt the membrane and burst open, thereby killing the infected <P> A. Adsorption The first step in the infection process is the adsorption of the phage to the bacterial cell. This step is mediated by the tail fibers or by some analogous structure on those phages that lack tail fibers and it is reversible. Bacteriophage (phage) are obligate intracellular parasites that multiply inside bacteria by making use of some or all of the host biosynthetic machinery (i.e., viruses that infect bacteria.). There are many similarities between bacteriophages and animal cell viruses. <P> This step is mediated by the tail fibers or by some analogous structure on those phages that lack tail fibers. Phages attach to specific receptors on the bacterial cell such as proteins on the outer surface of the bacterium, LPS, pili, and lipoprotein. This process is reversible. One or more of the components of the base plate mediates irreversible binding of phage to a bacterium. At the end of the tail, phages like T4 have a base plate and one or more tail fibers attached to it. The base plate and tail fibers are involved in the binding of the phage to the bacterial cell. Not all phages have base plates and | Tail fibers or Analogous structure. |
what is fly agaric | <P> Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita, is a mushroom and psychoactive basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus Amanita. Amanita muscaria is the type species of the genus. By extension, it is also the type species of Amanita subgenus Amanita, as well as section Amanita within this subgenus. <P> Fly agaric was first described by Carl Linnaeus (Swedish botanist and the father of modern taxonomy) in 1753, as Agaricus muscarius, the epithet deriving from the Latin ‘ musca ’, or ‘fly’, apparently referring to its use in parts of Europe as an insecticide, crushed in milk for attracting and killing flies. Toxicity of fly agaric. Fly agaric is psychoactive and hallucinogenic, containing the alkaloids muscimol, ibotenic acid and muscazone, which react with neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system. These cause psychotropic poisoning which may be severe in some cases although deaths are very rare. <P> Amanita cafeteria, commonly called fly agaric or less often smurf 's mushroom, is a fungus that sprouts from the forest floor. The nickname Smurf's mushroom comes from the little blue creatures that carve out homes in the bulbous base of Fly Agaric mushrooms. 1 Fly Agaric is also known as Amanita Muscaria, Fly Amanita, and is suspected to be the ancient ritual drug Soma(unproven). <P> Yet a type of mushroom called Amanita muscaria — commonly known as fly agaric, or fly amanita — was found growing in the gardens of Buckingham Palace by the producers of a television show, the Associated Press reported on Friday (Dec. 12). A. muscaria is distinct from psilocybin magic mushroom, (such as Psilocybe cubensis), a common recreational drug. It was outlawed in the United Kingdom in July 2005. After that, legal sales of A. muscaria began increasing, according to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction. <P> An agaric /ˈaeɡərɪk/ ˈæɡərɪk /or/ əˈɡaerɪk əˈɡærɪk is a type of fungal fruiting body characterized by the presence of (a) pileus cap that is clearly differentiated from (the), stipe stalk (with) lamellae gills on the underside of. The pileus agaric can also refer to a basidiomycete species characterized by-an agaric type. fruiting body Agaric can also refer to a basidiomycete species characterized by an agaric-type fruiting body. Archaically agaric meant 'tree-fungus' (after Latin agaricum); however, that changed with the Linnaean interpretation in 1753 when Linnaeus used the generic name Agaricus for gilled mushrooms. <P> The common name Fly Agaric is a reference to the tradition of using this mushroom as an insecticide. In some European countries caps of Amanita muscaria are crumbled up and placed in saucers of milk to attract house flies. In common with most Amanita species, and with all common amanitas that occur in Britain, Amanita muscaria is ectomycorrhizal. The Fly Agaric forms mycorrhizal associations with a range of hardwood and softwood trees, notably birches, pines and spruces. <P> This section is about the use of the Fly-Agaric mushroom, for medicinal and spiritual use, by the Celtic and Pre-Celtic people of Ireland. This is probably the most well known fungi because of it's association with the fairy folk, was a very important fungi to the Druids of the Celtic tribes. <P> The Fly Agaric, Amanita muscaria, is a hallucinogen and must be considered poisonous. These attractive fungi often appear in groups and are a common sight in all kinds of woodlands.

what to do with cracked eggs | <P> Because of the possibility of contamination through a crack in the shell, toss any eggs that are dirty. Wash them really well, peel off the shell, and put the frozen eggs in a zip bag. Place the bag in a container of hot (not boiling, just hot tap) water, and let them sit for about five minutes. <P> I placed my eggs in the incubator on the 12th and went to candlelight my 14 eggs. I picked up an egg that looked to have no cracks. When I candlelighted it, it had cracks in it. I took it out, finished cracking it open and we had a fertile egg with a fetus. YES, I hand turn my eggs and one time I had accidently dropped it. It cracked the smaller end of the egg, very large crack too.. I was devisated. So I got some tape and taped it up. It had also bled, well then I read some forums about what to do with a cracked egg. <P> 1) Hens and Cracked Eggs. If you find large numbers of cracks in eggs that are carefully gathered by hand from the nests or cages, your hens are a possible source of the problem. For a 60 week old flock, it is normal to find cracks in 4% of the eggs at examined at the nest or cage. Even if shell quality is good, you may still find large numbers of cracked eggs at the cage or nest. Nests require 5 cm or more of bedding material to provide a soft landing area for the eggs. Cage floors must be designed and installed to prevent too steep of a slope. <P> Instructions. Place the cracked eggs into a separate egg carton and refrigerate. Use the eggs within one day in a dish in which the eggs will be fully cooked. Break the egg into a shallow container. Secure a tight-fitting lid on the egg and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Use in a recipe in which the eggs will become fully cooked. Crack the egg and separate the yolk from the white. <P> When you are faced by a cracked egg problem you need to investigate both the quality of the eggs produced by the hens and your method of handling the eggs after they have been laid. One tool that helps to investigate these problems is an egg candler. Even if shell quality is good, you may still find large numbers of cracked eggs at the cage or nest. Nests require 5 cm or more of bedding material to provide a soft landing area for the eggs. Cage floors must be designed and installed to prevent too steep of a slope. <P> The shell is the egg's first defense against contamination. Do not buy or eat eggs with cracked shells. If you crack the shell, either prepare the egg or break it into a clean container and refrigerate it. Use within 2 days. <P> If you notice a crack and don't know how it got there, toss the egg. If YOU accidentally crack the egg but don't want to use it right away, you can store it in a clean, sealed container for a couple of days, and then use it in a baked recipe. Wash that container very thoroughly afterwards; raw eggs are where the danger comes in. Source(s): University of Maine-Cooperative Extension. <P> Place the eggs in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs will lay “flat” at the bottom of the bowl. An egg that is about a week old will have the big end of the egg start to lift up off of the bottom. An egg that is 2 to 3 weeks old will stand up, and an old egg will float. As eggs age, the air cell in the egg expands which will cause them to float. This isn’t totally scientific, but it is simple test you can do. Obviously, if your eggs smell rotten, please throw them away <P> up vote 5 down vote. If you didn't originally plan on using the egg out of shell, there is no reason you need to do it now. The egg if put in a sealed container can last 2-4 days out of shell according to stilltasty.com. You could break open the egg into a ramekin or coffee mug and place it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Enjoy it then or the next day. A little tip if you want it to come out in one piece, spray a little pan release inside the mug or ramekin. <P> If you’re not sure how fresh your eggs are, or if they’ve been in your fridge for a few weeks and you’re wary about using them, try this quick experiment 1 : Dissolve 2 Tbsp salt in 2 c. cold water. 2 Place the egg in the water gently. 3 If it sinks and stays down, it’s fresh. In the meantime, if you get a pastured egg and it has a “bloom” on it, don’t wash it off UNTIL you’re ready to use it (and then rinse it well and wipe with a towel). Keeping the bloom on will help your eggs stay fresh in the fridge for two or so weeks. | Place the cracked eggs into a separate egg carton and refrigerate.

what age can babies start swimming lessons | <P> Even if you had a straightforward birth, you will experience some bleeding as your body sheds the lining of your womb after birth (lochia). It's normal to bleed for anything up to six weeks after birth. However, your baby can go swimming at any time from birth, although most baby swimming classes start at six weeks. <P> It's normal to bleed for anything up to six weeks after birth. However, your baby can go swimming at any time from birth, although most baby swimming classes start at six weeks. If you are keen for your baby to be introduced to swimming before he is six weeks old, your partner or someone else can take him. Some private baby swimming classes start as early as four weeks. There's no need to wait until your baby is immunised (NHS Choices 2012) before taking him to a pool. <P> He may also be put off by all the noise and activity. Most babies up to six months of age can actually swim, with your help, of course! If you start early you can take advantage of your baby's natural ability to do basic strokes. Also, your baby's inbuilt gag reflex is generally at its strongest before six months. It's normal to bleed for anything up to six weeks after birth. However, your baby can go swimming at any time from birth, although most baby swimming classes start at six weeks. <P> If you are keen for your baby to be introduced to swimming before he is six weeks old your partner, or someone else, can take him. Some private baby swim classes start as early as four weeks but most classes at public pools begin at around 4 months. Check with your local swim centre. There is no need to wait until your baby is immunised as the chlorine in the pool will kill off any germs. Baby swim classes tend to use small, warm pools which are ideal for tiny tots. If you plan to use a regular public swimming pool wait until your baby is six months old. Before that, the water will be too cold for him. He may also be put off by all the noise and activity. Most babies up to six months of age can actually swim, with your help, of course! If you start early you can take advantage of your baby's natural ability to do primitive stroke <P> Around six months of age, consider enrolling your baby into swimming lessons. There are qualified instructors and infant swim classes in many cities. Usually by nine months, babies can be taught to swim between two adults for about five seconds. My baby is one-month-old and I want to start him in the pool as early as I can. A. Swimming is one of the healthiest forms of exercise. It tones muscles, relaxes the mind and is friendly to exercising joints. Most babies have a natural love of water. After all, your baby enjoyed his own swimming pool for nine months. <P> The idea is to give your baby confidence in the water from a very early age, paving the way for more structured swimming lessons as they grow up. These very early swimming courses can take babies as young as six weeks old and are led by specialist teachers. Learning to swim is a real life skill so take advantage of your baby's instinctive affinity with the water and their lack of fear. Many swimming pools have shallow baby and toddler sections where you can be sure your child won't be frightened by splashing and noise from more raucous older children. <P> 1 Another way to explore the water together is to take a swim class. 2 A good time to start: when your baby's 6 months old, says Connie Harvey, aquatics expert at the American Red Cross. 3 You'll learn how to handle him in the water and build a foundation for swimming. 4 Classes should have no more than 10 to 15 pairs. 1 A good time to start: when your baby's 6 months old, says Connie Harvey, aquatics expert at the American Red Cross. 2 You'll learn how to handle him in the water and build a foundation for swimming. 3 <P> It's normal to bleed for anything up to six weeks after birth.

what is a three way catalytic converter | <P> Thanks. Apart from 3-way catalytic converter, there is another type of catalytic converter called 2-way catalytic converter. It is typically used in diesel engine vehicles to control carbon-monoxide and hydrocarbon emission. Thanks very much for the information. A three-way catalytic converter makes use of two catalysts to convert harmful gases to harmless gases. They are: 1 Reduction Catalyst and. 2 Oxidation Catalyst. <P> In the catalytic converter, there are two different types of catalyst at work, a reduction catalyst and an oxidation catalyst. Both types consist of a ceramic structure coated with a metal catalyst, usually platinum, rhodium and/or palladium. <P> In the modern three-way catalytic converter, uncombusted fuel residues are oxidized with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, nitrogen oxides are converted to ubiquitous nitrogen, and toxic carbon monoxide is oxidized with oxygen to carbon dioxide. The development of the first three-way catalytic converter in 1979/80 marks a milestone in exhaust gas technology. This device was able to catalyze the conversion of the three main pollutants (unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides) simultaneously. <P> Ahmed N. , Iraq. A three-way catalytic converter reduces exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons (unburned gas) and nitrogen oxides (the smog-producing pollutant). When catalytic converters arrived in 1975, they reduced emissions of only carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. In a three-way converter, exhaust gases pass through a honeycomb of rare metals — platinum, palladium and rhodium — and the resulting chemical reaction converts harmful emissions into harmless carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen. Learn more. 1 New Nissan Catalytic Converter Could Save Money (KickingTires). <P> A 3-way catalytic converter is a sophisticated device used in the exhaust system of many modern petrol engine vehicles. It converts harmful gases in the engine exhaust to relatively harmless gases. A three-way catalytic converter makes use of two catalysts to convert harmful gases to harmless gases. They are: 1 Reduction Catalyst and. 2 Oxidation Catalyst. <P> Making the world better, one answer at a time. There are three basic types of automotive catalytic converters; Two-Way, Three-Way and Three-Way + Air. Each type uses a slightly different method and chemistry to reduce the harmful elements in exhaust emissions. <P> There are three types of catalytic converters: two-way converters, three-way plus air catalytic converters, and three-way converters. For the most part, each of these different converters came about because of emission regulations. Here is a summary of the catalytic converter evolution. <P> A catalytic converter is an emissions control device that converts toxic pollutants in exhaust gas to less toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction (oxidation or reduction). These three reactions occur most efficiently when the catalytic converter receives exhaust from an engine running slightly above the stoichiometric point. For gasoline combustion, this is between 14.6 and 14.8 parts air to one part fuel, by weight. | A three-way catalytic converter reduces exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons (unburned gas) and nitrogen oxides (the smog-producing pollutant). |
what is photosynthesis | <P> Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek φῶς, phōs, light, and σύνθεσις, synthesis, putting together. <P> Photosynthesis is a chemical process through which plants, some bacteria and algae, produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using only light as a source of energy. This process is extremely important for life on earth as it provides the oxygen that all other life depend on. <P> Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the fuel used by all living things. This sugar, glucose, is their food, and the process gives off oxygen. Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms. The raw materials are carbon dioxide and water. The energy source is sunlight, and the end-products include glucose and oxygen. <P> Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight into chemical energy. There are two types of photosynthetic processes: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photosynthesis. Oxygenic photosynthesis is the most common and is seen in plants, algae and cyanobacteria. During oxygenic photosynthesis, light energy transfers electrons from water (H 2 O) to carbon dioxide (CO 2), which produces carbohydrates. In this transfer, the CO 2 is reduced, or receives electrons, and the water becomes oxidized, or loses electrons. Ultimately, oxygen is produced along with <P> Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants use energy from the sun to transform water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and organic compounds. It is one example of how people and plants are dependent on each other in sustaining life. Science Plants. Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants use energy from the sun to transform water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and organic compounds. <P> Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the fuel used by all living things. <P> Photosynthesis (photo = light and synthesis = to make) is the process plants use to change carbon dioxide and water into sugar using sunlight. This sugar, glucose, is their food, and the process gives off oxygen. Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms.

The chemical energy is stored in the form of glucose (sugar). Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight are used to produce glucose, oxygen, and water. Photosynthesis Summary. In summary, photosynthesis is a process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy and used to produce organic compounds. In plants, photosynthesis typically occurs within the chloroplasts located in plant leaves. Photosynthesis consists of two stages, the light reactions and the dark reactions | A process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities. |
what is the cost of treatment for hepatitis c | <P> When used with the hepatitis C drug ribavirin, a common combination, a 12-week course costs about $84,000 wholesale, or $1,000 a day, she says. A 3-month course of Olysio (simeprevir), also used with other medications, is about $66,000 wholesale, or about $733 a day, says Craig Stoltz, a Janssen spokesman. <P> Also a big deal is the cost of Sovaldi (sofosbuvir), an oral drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration in December 2013 for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Sovaldi has been priced by its manufacturer, Gilead, at $1,000 per pill, or an estimated $84,000 for its entire 12-week regimen. <P> Hepatitis C, which afflicts some 150 million people globally, often without symptoms for years, can cause fatigue and fever, cirrhosis or liver cancer. The pill, known as Sovaldi, or generically as sofosbuvir, costs $84,000 for a standard 12-week course of treatment. <P> For the first time, hepatitis C can be cured without interferon and ribavirin, which can cause fatigue and depression. Finally, there’s a medication to cure hepatitis C that doesn’t require use of the dreaded drugs interferon or ribavirin. <P> Harvoni is a combination medication that includes sofosbuvir (Sovaldi), another Gilead breakthrough treatment approved late last year, and ledipasvir, which is also made by Gilead. The new medication costs $95,000 for a 12-week course of treatment. On the surface it appears even more expensive than Sovaldi, which costs $84,000 for a 12-week supply. Both medications have been proven to cure hepatitis C in a majority of people with genotype 1 hepatitis C within that time frame. <P> Sovaldi costs $1,000 a pill, or $84,000 for a typical 12-week course of treatment, but it must be used with other drugs. Harvoni is even more expensive at $1,125 a pill, or $94,500 for a 12-week course of treatment. But that is roughly in line with the total cost for Sovaldi and the drugs used with it. <P> Approximately 1,000 patients are transplanted each year for liver disease due to hepatitis C. With the cost per liver transplantation in the range of $280,000 for one year, liver transplantation for hepatitis C alone reaches a cost of nearly $300 million per year. <P> Here's the problem: The newer hepatitis C drugs are super-expensive. Harvoni rings in at $1,125 per pill, or $94,500 for a 12-week course of treatment, and other new medications are nearly as pricey. Insurers are scrambling to figure out how to pay for treatment without breaking the bank. | $84,000 for a standard 12-week course of treatment. |

The term most often refers to oceans, seas, and lakes, but it includes smaller pools of water such as ponds, wetlands, or more rarely, puddles. Bodies of water that are navigable are known as waterways. Some bodies of water collect and move water, such as rivers and streams, and others primarily hold water, such as lakes and oceans. The term body of water can also refer to a reservoir of water held by a plant, technically known as a phytotelma. <P> These areas are called aquifers. The water that is found underground is called ground water. The aquifer systems under Florida provide the majority of the state s water. There are two major aquifers in Florida: the Floridan (the whole state), and the Biscayne (south Florida). <P> These depressions can be shallow, but the more area they encompass, the more water will be held. These depressions, also called swales, should be designed to hold enough water to penetrate to the roots of trees and shrubs.

Water seeping down from the land surface adds to the ground water and is called recharge water. Ground water is recharged from rain water and snowmelt or from water that leaks through the bottom of some lakes and rivers. Water leaving an aquifer is called discharge water. Water that is pumped from a well is discharge water. Ground water might also discharge naturally as springs or into swamps, lakes, or rivers. Some wells, called artesian wells, do not need a pump. <P> A watershed is the area of land where all of the water that falls in it and drains off of it goes to a common outlet.

Girdling, also called ring barking or ring-barking is the complete removal of a strip of bark (consisting of cork cambium, phloem, cambium and sometimes going into the xylem) from around the entire circumference of either a branch or trunk of a woody plant. Girdling is also used as a technique to force a fruit-bearing plant to bear larger fruit. A farmer would place a girdle (bark removal) at base of a large branch or at the trunk. Thus, all sugars manufactured by the leaves have no sinks but the fruit, which grows to above the normal size. <P> Girdling. in trees and grapevines, a notched ring or the removal of a ring of bark (3–5 mm wide) right up to the wood. The trunk or the skeletal branches of apple and pear trees are girdled. In grapevines the main trunk, perennial branches, or annual shoots are girdled. Girdling is performed in early spr <P> Furthermore, while ring-barking and girdling may not kill a tree they may leave it vulnerable to attack from insect pests and fungal diseases. Tree management techniques such as bridge, approach or patch grafting may be considered as remedial treatments for ring-barked or girdled trees. Girdling will be defined as a circumferential cut made around the trunk of a tree which removes a band of tissue to the depth of the active or functional xylem tissues. Such a cut removes a band which contains cork and cork cambium, phloem tissues, the cambium and the current ... <P> It’s called Girdling (also known as ring barking or ring-barking). Or, a technique which involves removal / peeling of a ring of bark from a tree, and the phloem layer (Like shown in the picture above). Yes, that’s it, this kills a tree. And it’s slow death. That is basically food to sustain growth and function of the roots. If that doesn’t reach the roots, the roots don’t receive what is required for their growth and function. Girdling does exactly that – cuts off the down-flow of food. As a result, the root dies and with it dies the whole tree. <P> It is the part of the trunk that is alive (the wood, which is the phloem, and the bark are not alive). One of its functions is to transport substances between the leaves and the roots. If you ring bark the tree (this is also called girdling) you will cut this line of transportation between the roots and the leaves. · just now. Report Abuse. Girdling, also called ring barking or ring-barking, is the process of completely removing a strip of bark (consisting of Secondary Phloem tissue, cork cambium, and cork) around a tree's outer circumference, causing its death. <P> Barking is a behavior that is so inherent to dogs that it can be difficult to change. Dogs bark for reasons like boredom, frustration, attention seeking, guarding, greeting, play, or anxiety. To change the behavior, you must first determine why your dog is barking and then address that issue. | Girdling, also called ring barking or ring-barking is the complete removal of a strip of bark (consisting of cork cambium, phloem, cambium and sometimes going into the xylem) from around the entire circumference of either a branch or trunk of a woody plant. |
how much would it cost to have armed security guards in schools | <P> OFA estimates that the cost of staffing all Connecticut public schools with armed security guards ranges between $60 and $70 million. This estimate is based on both a per-student and per-school calculation of costs. Connecticut has approximately 560,000 students in approximately 1,100 public school buildings. <P> Purchase: Order Reprint. Putting an armed guard in every Minnesota school would require the hiring of hundreds of police or security guards and could cost in the neighborhood of $138 million. Minneapolis schools spend close to $900,000 annually to station 16 officers in schools, along with the cost of a supervisor and school patrol officer. <P> 8 Paying for one armed security guard, or School Resource Officer, in each will cost between $9.9 billion and $12.8 billion, depending on the annual salary of the SRO. The cost for public schools would be between $7.4 billion and $9.6 billion. Paying for an armed SRO in each private school is an added cost that ranges between $2.5 billion and $3.2 billion. <P> Stationing a police officer in all 1,968 public schools in Minnesota would be expensive, based on average earnings of $70,500 reported in 2012 for the statewide police and fire pension plan. But that cost of $138 million could be trimmed somewhat if armed security guards were used. St. Paul schools, for example, pay for 10 police officers, but also employ patrols of security guards who check on alarms and do other duties. Minneapolis schools spend close to $900,000 annually to station 16 officers in schools, along with the cost of a supervisor and school patrol officer. <P> 1 The time of day also affects pricing. 2 Security guards working at a late-night party in the city may cost $30-$50 per hour, for example. 3 An off-duty police officer typically costs $40-$60 per hour for security guard services. 1 An unarmed security guard typically costs $12-$20 per hour, while an armed security guard costs typically costs $18-$25 per hour. 2 An unarmed guard from 21st Sentry Security in Dallas-Fort Worth typically costs $14 per hour, while an armed guard starts at $18 per hour. 3 The time of day also affects pricing <P> 2. But studies have shown armed guards may make students feel less safe at school. As Brad Plumer of the Washington Post points out, a 2011 study found that visible safety measures in schools, like armed security, made many students feel less safe -- which can make learning harder. Here's some simple math. The median salary for police officers is $55,010 and there are about 99,000 public schools in the country -- and of those, about a third already have armed guards. <P> Close vote allows for administrators to find out price of armed security at one high or elementary school. February 08, 2014 | By Jeremiah Dobruck and Hannah Fry. A split school board recently asked how much it would cost to post armed guards at campuses in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. Brooks questioned what level of training each security guard would have and whether that's enough to entrust them with children's safety. To take a person off the street that has a clean record and give them a gun, then put them in schools and say we have armed security, well no, we have armed people, he said. <P> On a national scale, putting an armed guard in each of the country’s roughly 98,000 public schools would cost over $3.3 billion each year in salaries alone — plus benefits — according to Labor Bureau figures that put the average yearly pay of a a security guard at about $33,840. <P> 1 An unarmed guard from 21st Sentry Security in Dallas-Fort Worth typically costs $14 per hour, while an armed guard starts at $18 per hour. 2 The time of day also affects pricing. 3 Security guards working at a late-night party in the city may cost $30-$50 per hour, for example. 1 An unarmed security guard typically costs $12-$20 per hour, while an armed security guard costs typically costs $18-$25 per hour. 2 An unarmed guard from 21st Sentry Security in Dallas-Fort Worth typically costs $14 per hour, while an armed guard starts at $18 per hour. 3 The time of day also affects pricing | $9.9 billion and $12.8 billion |

formula for temperature conversion | <P> Temperature conversions are performed by using a formula, which differs dependent on the two temperatures you are converting between. For example, to convert, say 50 degrees celsius (centigrade) to fahrenheit, we plug our numbers into the formula as shown below: F = C * 9/5 + 32. F = 50 * 9/5 + 32. F = 90 + 32. F = 122. <P> 1 A fever in Celsius is a temperature greater than 38 degrees, or the equivalent of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. 2 Also, a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius/102 degrees Fahrenheit is not dangerous in and of itself, although it should prompt the individual to seek medical attention if it persists. Another simple conversion method from C to F is to double the celsius, subtract 10%, add 32. For example: 100C = 2x100=200,200-20=180,add 32=212F. More about fahrenheit and celsius.

The temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit (F) is equal to the temperature T in degrees Celsius (C) times 9/5 plus 32: T (F) = T (C) × 9/5 + 32. or. T (F) = T (C) × 1.8 + 32. <P> I have a downloadable temperature conversion program available. It converts between all temperature scales, and you can optionally view the formulas and step by step conversion process. It was originally created as shareware, but it never expires so you do not need to register it. <P> Temperature Conversion Formula. They are many Temperature Conversion methods. Among them Kelvin, Celsius and Fahrenheit are the most commonly used methods. According to Kelvin scale, the freezing point of water is 273.15K and the boiling point is 373.15K. According to Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 o F and the boiling point is 212 o F. According to Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0 o C and the boiling point is 100 o C. The Temperature Conversion Formula from Celsius to Kelvin is, <P> Directions.

what is carded cotton | <P> If the carded fiber is spun with most of the fibers going in the direction of spinning (ie toward the spinning wheel), it will produce a more compact, smoother yarn. If it is spun with most of the fibers perpendicular to the direction of spin, it will produce a fluffier, airier yarn. <P> BELLA + CANVAS tees are made using only 100% combed and ring-spun cotton fabric — never carded open end fabric. Carded open end is a cheaper way of turning cotton into yarn and if you’ve ever worn a heavy, scratchy, cardboard-like tee, you know what carded open end feels like. <P> You won't believe these 10 facts about people. Carded cotton is cotton which has been prepared for spinning into thread or yarn. Carding is an important step in the processing of many textiles, ensuring that debris is removed while aligning the fibers to make them easier to spin. Without carding, cotton thread would be coarse and extremely fragile. <P> The full question, ring spun carded and combed, refers to the fiber preparation method of carding (brushing) and combing the fibers prior to spinning, in order to form a softer yarn which is best for soft knit items. <P> Carded open end is a cheaper way of turning cotton into yarn and if you’ve ever worn a heavy, scratchy, cardboard-like tee, you know what open end feels like. Carded open end fiber is bulky, fuzzy and creates an uneven knit, while 100% combed and ring-spun cotton is finer, smoother ad knit consistently. <P> Industrially carded cotton is prepared on large spinning drums which are capable of processing high volumes of cotton at once. For rapid processing, cotton spinning machines are usually located close to the carding area, ensuring that minimal time is wasted transferring cotton products around a factory. <P> Spinning of natural fiber may be carded, combed or rotor types. Generally cotton is the most common products all over the world. Cotton spinning process is completely different from synthetic fiber spinning methods. <P> The full question, ring spun carded and combed, refers to the fiber preparation method of carding (brushing) and combing the fibers prior to spinning, in order to form a softer yarn which is best for soft knit items. | Prepared on large spinning drums which are capable of processing high volumes of cotton at once. |
why is glycogen used in exercise | <P> 1 During anaerobic exercise, your body uses the glycogen stored in the muscle tissue. 2 This causes you to reach a point of muscle exhaustion when you do several sets of repetitive muscle training exercises. 3 Aerobic exercise utilizes the glycogen stored in your liver. <P> Glycogen in Tissues. Your liver and your muscle cells are the main storage tissues for glycogen. To store glycogen, your body produces an enzyme known as glycogenin. This enzyme enables the attachment of glucose molecules to muscle and liver cells, where they remain until your body requires them for fuel. Physical activity, including formal exercise, requires fuel for energy. Your body stores energy in the form of glycogen, a readily available fuel. The amount of glycogen in your body plays a major role in determining your level of endurance. <P> Glycogen Use. Exercise can cause a slight drop in blood sugar, the amount of glucose circulating in your bloodstream. Your body responds to this slight decrease by producing two hormones: glucagon and epinephrine. Physical activity, including formal exercise, requires fuel for energy. Your body stores energy in the form of glycogen, a readily available fuel. The amount of glycogen in your body plays a major role in determining your level of endurance. <P> Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. The polysaccharide structure represents the main storage form of glucose in the body. When it is needed for energy, glycogen is broken down and converted again to glucose. Glycogen phosphorylase is the primary enzyme of glycogen breakdown. For the next 8–12 hours, glucose derived from liver glycogen is the primary source of blood glucose used by the rest of the body for fuel. <P> Confidence votes 7. GLYCOGEN is a stored form of energy produced in the liver Glycogen forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for GLUCOSE when needed by the body for physical activity etc. GlUCOSE is our bodys primary scource of energy. <P> Glycogen functions as the secondary long-term energy storage, with the primary energy stores being fats held in adipose tissue. Muscle glycogen is converted into glucose by muscle cells, and liver glycogen converts to glucose for use throughout the body including the central nervous system. When it is needed for energy, glycogen is broken down and converted again to glucose. Glycogen phosphorylase is the primary enzyme of glycogen breakdown. For the next 8–12 hours, glucose derived from liver glycogen is the primary source of blood glucose used by the rest of the body for fuel. <P> Glycogen Replenishment. Glycogen, which is stored in the muscles, is the fuel source athletes must restore following strenuous training. Muscle glycogen is the predominant fuel source used during long bouts of aerobic exercise. In fact, aerobic performance is directly related to initial glycogen stores. <P> Aerobic Energy from Glycogen. During aerobic exercise, your body uses glycogen stored within your liver to produce energy. However, because aerobic exercise involves high levels of oxygen in your blood stream, lactate acid levels do not build up. Instead, the pyruvic acid is converted to energy. Glycogen Basics. Glycogen is a polysaccharide and the primary storage form of glucose in your body. Your diet supplies your body with an irregular supply of glucose from carbohydrates. Your body achieves a balance, overcoming the dietary peaks and valleys, by using stores of glycogen <P> The glucose you don’t use is converted to glycogen and stored in your muscles and liver. Your body utilizes liver glycogen to keep your blood sugar levels up and muscle glycogen during high-intensity workouts. During aerobic exercise, you need oxygen to get energy from stored carbohydrates. Once your carbohydrates, or glycogen stores, are gone, your body relies on fat. Fat metabolism is a less efficient process, so your performance declines and fatigue takes over. | Glycogen is the primary source of blood glucose used by the rest of the body for fuel. |
who were the incas and where did they live | <P> At its peak the Incas Empire lasted less than a century before it was destroyed by the Spaniards. In about 1300 the Incas founded their capital city of Cuzco.

what is flocculation | <P> Flocculation, in the field of chemistry, is a process wherein colloids come out of suspension in the form of floc or flake; either spontaneously or due to the addition of a clarifying agent. Flocculation (in polymer science) : When a sol is colloidally unstable (I.e., the rate of aggregation is not negligible) then the formation of aggregates is called floculation or coagulation. Agglomeration (except in polymer science). Coagulation (except in polymer science). Flocculation (except in polymer science). <P> Flocculation as seen by engineers Edit. Flocculation is a process where a solute comes out of solution in the form of floc or flakes.. The floc may then float to the top of the liquid, settle to the bottom of the liquid, or can be readily filtered from the liquid. The floc operation may be expedited by adding some chemicals. <P> Flocculation is the process whereby smaller particles (inorganic and organic), water-stable soil aggregates, or flocs aggregate to form larger particles (flocs) in a flowing medium. <P> Flocculation is one step in the water and wastewater treatment process. In a flocculation tank, the water is stirred or otherwise moved around so that the particles move around, bump into other particles, and stick to one another.

News and Events. Flocculation <P> The gathering together of fine particles in water by gentle mixing after the addition of coagulant chemicals to form larger particles-Source. Links. Flocculation from Wikipedia: Flocculation is a process where a solute comes out of solution in the form of floc or flakes. The action differs from precipitation in that the solute coming out of solution does so at a concentration generally below the one of its solubility limit in the liquid. <P> Flocculation is a physical and chemical process which is used for the removal of the visible sediments and material from water which makes it a colloidal solution. It can be done through agitation or by adding flocculating agents. <P> How Flocculation Works. Flocculation occurs when small particles in a solution lose their repelling forces and begin to attract one another. The small particles then bond together to form “flocs” or “flakes.” Under most circumstances, a flocculant is necessary to begin the flocculation process. Flocculation is when microscopic particles bind together to form larger particles in liquids. <P> Post 12. Flocculation refers to the separation of a solution.. My understanding is that it refers to a process by which small particles-possibly microscopic ones-clump together to form bigger particles. Adorable animal families that will make you aww. Flocculation refers to the separation of a solution and most commonly, this word is used to describe the removal of a sediment from a fluid. In addition to occurring naturally, it can also be forced through agitation or the addition of flocculating agents. | Flocculation is the process whereby smaller particles (inorganic and organic), water-stable soil aggregates, or flocs aggregate to form larger particles (flocs) in a flowing medium. |

what is spina bifida | <P> Spina bifida occulta is the mildest type of spina bifida. It is sometimes called “hidden” spina bifida. With it, there is a small gap in the spine, but no opening or sac on the back. The spinal cord and the nerves usually are normal. Many times, spina bifida occulta is not discovered until late childhood or adulthood. <P> Spina bifida is part of a group of birth defects called neural tube defects. The neural tube is the embryonic structure that eventually develops into the baby's brain and spinal cord and the tissues that enclose them. <P> Spina bifida (“cleft spine”) is a birth defect affecting the spinal column. Spina bifida progresses from a cleft, or splitlike opening, in the back part of the backbones (the spinal vertebrae). In more severe cases, it involves the spinal cord. <P> Spina bifida is a type of birth defect called a neural tube defect. It occurs when the bones of the spine (vertebrae) don't form properly around part of the baby's spinal cord. Spina bifida can be mild or severe. 1 The mild form is the most common. 2 It usually doesn't cause problems or need treatment. <P> Spina bifida is a birth defect in which an area of the spinal column doesn’t form properly, leaving a section of the spinal cord and spinal nerves exposed through an opening in the back. Myelomeningocele (MMC), the most common and serious form of spina bifida, may be treated before birth with fetal surgery. <P> Spina bifida is a congenital malformation in which there is something wrong with the bone in the vertebral column, exposing the spinal cord which should be protected within the vertebral column. It is caused by the incomplete closing of the embryonic neural tube. Congenital malformation means a birth defect. | Type of birth defect called a neural tube defect. |
list of food for blood type a positive | <P> What You Can Eat. That depends on your blood type. Here's what D'Adamo recommends for each type: Type O blood: A high-protein diet heavy on lean meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables, and light on grains, beans, and dairy. D'Adamo also recommends various supplements to help with tummy troubles and other issues he says people with type O tend to have. No. Exercise: The Blood Type Diet recommends exercises based on your blood type. For instance, it suggests yoga or tai chi for type A’s, and vigorous aerobic exercises like jogging or biking for up to an hour a day for type O’s. <P> If you have type A blood and suffer from diabetes, hypothyroidism, obsessive-compulsive disorder or are overweight, naturopath Peter D'Adamo says that you're probably eating foods that aren't compatible with your blood type. In his book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, D'Adamo claims that people with type A blood are descended from ancient Asian and Middle Eastern farmers. By following a diet that mirrors what their ancestors ate, D'Adamo says type A individuals will be healthier and thinner. <P> Blood Type A Menu. On the blood type diet, a good breakfast if you're type A is whole-grain cereal, such as steel-cut oatmeal, along with fresh mixed fruit. Typical snacks for type A are foods such as fruit, nuts, seeds, rice cakes and peanut butter. For lunch, it's typical to have a large, hearty salad with lots of fresh vegetables. The Blood Type Diet Premise. D’Adamo theorizes that your blood type provides a distinctive marker for which foods are best for you, based on the diet of your ancestors with the same blood type. This means a nutritious diet for one blood type may include different foods than a nutritious diet for another <P> People with type B positive blood shouldn't eat ketchup. Not all blood types are the same. There are four types of blood, A, B, AB and O, and the presence or absence of certain antigens is what determines your blood type, according to the American Red Cross. Based on these differences, Dr. Peter D’Adamo created the Blood Type Diet, which is often called the Eat Right For Your Type Diet. If you have type B positive blood, there are certain foods that D'Adamo recommends you avoid to achieve and maintain good health. <P> The antigens present in blood determine the blood type of a person. Antigens, A and B are present on the blood cell's surface and works as markers in the body. People with blood type o positive have an Rh antigen as well as A and B antigens present in the plasma. Type O is the most common blood type and is often sought out for blood donation as well because type O blood can be donated to people of any blood types without fear of rejection. O Positive Blood Type Diet. Many people wonder whether personality is influenced by blood type or not. Well, the blood group you belong to can give a lot of insight about you. Different lectins present in supplements and foods stimulate your cells based on your blood group. <P> Blood Types and the Population. O positive is the most common blood type. Not all ethnic groups have the same mix of these blood types. Hispanic people, for example, have a relatively high number of O’s, while Asian people have a relatively high number of B’s. The mix of the different blood types in the U.S. population is: <P> D'Adamo recommends that people with type A blood eat plenty of fish, including salmon, sea or rainbow trout, red snapper, cod and mackerel. Chicken and poultry can be eaten up to two times a week, but D'Adamo says to avoid all beef, pork, game meats and shellfish. In his book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, D'Adamo claims that people with type A blood are descended from ancient Asian and Middle Eastern farmers. By following a diet that mirrors what their ancestors ate, D'Adamo says type A individuals will be healthier and thinner. <P> D'Adamo claims that the foods you eat react chemically with your blood type. If you follow a diet designed for your blood type, your body will digest food more efficiently. You'll lose weight, have more energy, and help prevent disease. No. Exercise: The Blood Type Diet recommends exercises based on your blood type. For instance, it suggests yoga or tai chi for type A’s, and vigorous aerobic exercises like jogging or biking for up to an hour a day for type O’s. <P> Foods to Avoid. If you’re trying to follow the Blood Type Diet, D'Adamo also lists foods that are not beneficial for each of the blood types. If you have type-A blood, stay out of the meat and dairy sections of the store. These protein-rich foods are on the “avoid” list for Type A’s. Poultry and eggs should be avoided, too. Animal foods are said to slow the metabolism of people with type A blood <P> Pumpkin seeds and peanuts are good for blood type A individuals, says D'Adamo, as are beans and legumes like lentils, black-eyed peas, red soybeans, black beans and pinto beans. Type A people are warned to avoid pistachios, cashews and beans such as navy, red, garbanzo or kidney beans.

what means Jarana | <P> One explanation of the origin of the term jarocho is that it evolved from an old Spanish word meaning brusque or disordered. Or the long spear used by fishermen in the coastal Papaloapan River, The word Jolocho is of Totonacan origin, but there are many other theories. Musical groups of jarochos are bands of minstrel musicians, who dress and play in the Veracruz style. They are distinguished by their traditional white guayabera shirts and white pants and hats; also the men wear a red bandana around their neck. Music played by jarochos is known as Son Jarocho <P> 1 Ask class to name the instruments: harp, voice, “guitars”(jarana, requinto-melodic lead, bass), “tambourine”: (pandereta) . 2 Point out the dancers' steps as a kind of percussion, like a drum. 3 Called zapateado, it is a vital instrument in the traditional performance of son jarocho. 4 Explain that this music is called. The fandango community celebration is central to the son jarocho tradition of Veracruz, Mexico. This lesson explores the core elements of the fandango: instruments, voice and verse, and rhythmic dance. <P> The jarana jarocha is a guitar-shaped fretted stringed instrument from the southern region of the state of Veracruz, Mexico. Typically strung with 8 strings in 5 courses, usually arranged in two single outer strings with three double-courses in between. The strings are usually nylon, although they were gut in the past. <P> Jarana The jarana veracruzana, or simply, jarana, is the main harmonic instrument of the conjunto jarocho. Derived from the small Spanish Baroque guitar the jarana is a small guitar with eight strings in five courses. The conjuntos normally carry between one and three jaranas, depending on the size of the group. The jarana, in most sones veracruzanos, plays a repeated strum pattern, termed m nico, the repeated harmony determines the speed of the song and style. The m nicos or, alternatively, maniqueos are melodic lengths and phrasings, and tendencies of harmonic rhythm expressed in duple meter or triple meter. <P> Origin of JARANA. American Spanish. This word doesn't usually appear in our free dictionary, but the definition from our premium Unabridged Dictionary is offered here on a limited basis. Note that some information is displayed differently in the Unabridged. 1. : a large Central American manbarklak (Eschweilera jarana) with hard heavy durable wood used chiefly for heavy construction. 2. : the salmon pink to reddish brown variegated wood of the jarana. ADVERTISEMENT. <P> The most fundamental and common jarocho instrument is the jarana. Most likely derived from the XVI century Spanish Baroque guitar, the jarana has eight to twelve strings grouped in five courses. It is strummed in a chordial manner called a rasgueo and furnishes the rhythmic and harmonic framework of the son jarocho. Although the base instrumentation used by contemporary ensembles is the harp, requinto, and jarana, these are not the only instruments used in performing the son jarocho. The dance aspect of the son jarocho is also a defining characteristic of the tradition. The zapateado footwork is not simply a dis-associated part of the son jarocho, but an element of the tradition which provides a rhythmic complement to the instrumental and vocal accompaniment. <P> Definition of JARANA. 1. : a large Central American manbarklak (Eschweilera jarana) with hard heavy durable wood used chiefly for heavy construction. 2. : the salmon pink to reddish brown variegated wood of the jarana.

what body system is edema | <P> Edema is swelling caused by fluid retention-excess fluid is trapped in the body's tissues. In the UK/Ireland/Australasia and some other countries, the word is spelled oedema. Swelling caused by edema commonly occurs in the hands, arms, ankles, legs and feet. It is usually linked to the venous or lymphatic systems. <P> Edema is a type of swelling caused by excess fluid becoming trapped in the tissues of the body. It typically affects extremities such as the hands, feet and ankles, but it also occurs in the arms and legs and can potentially affect any part of the body. 1 Varicose veins may also be found when this is the cause of edema. 2 Lymph node problems: An inadequate lymphatic system leads to the lymph nodes being unable to properly drain excess fluid from tissues in the body, which could cause edema to occur. <P> 1 Lymphedema is the build-up of fluid in soft body tissues when the lymph system is damaged or blocked. 2 The lymph system is a network of lymph vessels, tissues, and organs that carry lymph throughout the body. 3 Lymphedema occurs when lymph is not able to flow through the body the way that it should. Lymphedema is the build-up of fluid in soft body tissues when the lymph system is damaged or blocked. Lymphedema occurs when the lymph system is damaged or blocked. Fluid builds up in soft body tissues and causes swelling. It is a common problem that may be caused by cancer and cancer treatment <P> Edema Overview. Edema (or Oedema) is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in certain tissues within the body. The accumulation of fluid may be under the skin-usually in dependent areas such as the legs (peripheral edema, or ankle edema), or it may accumulate in the lungs (pulmonary edema). <P> 7 Treatment for Edema. Water retention, also called edema, is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body's tissue. This condition can occur in any part of the body; however, it is most commonly observed in feet, ankles, legs, hands, and arms. Lymphedema: This type of edema is caused by the breakdown of the lymphatic system. Fluids are removed from the lymph to fill up other places such as the spaces between tissues and muscles. It can be caused by an underlying medical condition such as multiple sclerosis or medications such as ibuprofen. <P> Edema occurs when tiny blood vessels in your body (capillaries) leak fluid. The fluid builds up in surrounding tissues, leading to swelling. Mild cases of edema may result from: 1 Sitting or staying in one position for too long. 2 Eating too much salty food. 3 Premenstrual signs and symptoms. 4 Pregnancy. <P> Types of Edema. Edema is the accumulation of abnormal levels of fluid in the circulatory system and the tissues between the body’s cells (interstitial tissue). This condition often causes tissue underneath the skin to swell, and is common when lymphatic blockage occurs. This excess fluid gets trapped in the body’s tissue in a greater capacity than the lymphatic system can eliminate. Generally, edema is physically unnoticeable until the interstitial fluid volume is approximately 30% above normal (normal fluid volume is 10%). <P> Introduction. Edema (also known as fluid retention) is swelling caused by the accumulation of abnormally large amounts of fluid in the spaces between the body's cells or in the circulatory system. It is most common in feet, ankles, and legs. It can also affect the eyes, face, brain, and hands. | Lymphatic system |
typical compression index values | <P> The index of secondary compression is proportional to the logarithm of time and the slope of primary consolidation (it is strongly dependent on the final effective stress in soil): <P> Soils’’ Table 4. Comparison of equations CONCLUSIONS Based on compression index (c) at laboratory testing for Pontianak soil which average of c value is 0.755 and the values ranging from 0.279 to 1.663 indicates as soft clay. <P> The compression ratio of an internal-combustion engine or external combustion engine is a value that represents the ratio of the volume of its combustion chamber from its largest capacity to its smallest capacity. <P> The ratio between the index of secondary compression Cα and the compression index Cc is approximately constant for most of the normally consolidated clays for load typical in engineering practice. Its average value is 0.05. <P> A typical range of the compression index is from 0.1 to 10. Approximate values for homogeneous sand for the load range from 95 kPa to 3926 kPa attain the values from 0.05 to 0.06 for loose state and 0.02 to 0.03 for dense state. For silts this value is 0.20. <P> The compression index is estimated by several standard equations. The first is from Terzaghi 0.009(LL-10). The NRCS laboratories developed a good estimate from this equation: Cc = sqrt[0.0032 x LL x (e0-0.4)]. <P> Determining the value of index of secondary compression C α requires either laboratory (e.g. one-dimensional consolidation in oedometer) or in-situ measurements: Determination of index of secondary compression Cα.

The monkey also goes by the Malay name monyet belanda (Dutch monkey), or even orang belanda (Dutchman), as Indonesians remarked that the Dutch colonisers often had similarly large bellies and noses. This species of monkey is easily identifiable because of its unusually large nose. <P> The Proboscis Monkey is also called the Monyet Belanda Monkey, which means the long nosed Monkey. It belongs to the Old World classification. In the Egyptian Culture they were worshipped as a very unique animal and believed to be special to the gods. The warning calls of the Proboscis Monkey are very loud. It is believed that the large nose allows for the sounds to be bolder than that of other Monkeys. They can live in groups that range from 10 to 30. The Monkeys don’t always stay in the same group though. <P> The proboscis monkey lives only in the swampy lowland rainforests of coastal areas of Borneo and the Mentawai Islands. These large monkeys are best known for the male's large protruding nose. Proboscis monkeys are social animals, living in groups of 10 to 32 individuals, The local name for the proboscis monkeys is 'orang belanda', meaning 'Dutchman'. <P> The Island of Borneo is the known location of the Proboscis Monkey. They live in the lower elevations of the forests and around the swamplands. They are found in the Danau Sentarum National Park where they are well protected from poachers. The warning calls of the Proboscis Monkey are very loud. It is believed that the large nose allows for the sounds to be bolder than that of other Monkeys. They can live in groups that range from 10 to 30. The Monkeys don’t always stay in the same group though. <P> The Behavior of the Proboscis Monkeys. Proboscis monkeys usually like to live in groups. More often than not, there is only one adult male in a group with a few female adults and some offspring of the females. There are some groups which are just consistent of all males; these can be monkeys which prefer the solitary life and live away from larger groups. Proboscis monkeys are found in the 3 nations of the island of Borneo, including Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. Most of the time, these Proboscis monkeys can be found near rivers and coastal areas also. <P> 1 The diet of the proboscis monkey consists mainly of leaves, shoots, seeds and unripe fruit. 2 It is known that proboscis monkeys are not too fond of fleshy fruits and the complex nature of the digestive system of the proboscis monkey means that they are unable to digest ripe fruit. 1 The proboscis monkey has a large protruding belly that is thought to stick out so much due to the proboscis monkeys diet and complex digestion system, which along with the long nose of the males, gives the proboscis monkey very distinctive yet strange characteristics. <P> The proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) or long-nosed monkey, known as the bekantan in Indonesia, is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey that is endemic to the southeast Asian island of Borneo. The monkey also goes by the Malay name monyet belanda (Dutch monkey), or even orang belanda (Dutchman), as Indonesians remarked that the Dutch colonisers often had similarly large bellies and noses. This species of monkey is easily identifiable because of its unusually large nose. <P> This elusive monkey belongs to the Asian langurs. They are the only member of the Nasalis genus. The proboscis monkey is found only on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It prefers to live in the mixed diterocarp-kerangas forests, mangrove forests and lowland forests near fresh water and rivers. Their ears are small and lie flat against their heads. The male proboscis monkey is much larger and heavier than the female. A male is 2 to 2.5 feet (66-72 cm) long, and weighs 35-51 lbs. (16-23 kgs), while a female is 1.7 to 2 feet (53-61 cm) long and weighs only (15-24 lbs.) 7-11 kgs. | Endemic to the southeast Asian island of Borneo. |

what are centaurs in greek mythology | <P> Brooklyn Museum-Centauress-John La Farge-overall. A centaur (/ˈsɛntɔːr/ ; Greek: κένταυρος, Kentauros, Kéntauros: latin) centaurus or hippocentaur is a mythological creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a. horse A centaur is one of the symbols associated with both the Iota Phi Theta and the Delta Lambda Phi fraternities. Whereas centaurs in Greek mythology were generally symbolic of chaos and unbridled passions, Delta Lambda Phi's centaur is modeled after Chiron and represents honor, moderation and tempered masculinity. <P> Perhaps the most famous centaur was Chiron (or Cheiron), known for his great wisdom and as the tutor of the god of medicine Asklepios and the heroes Hercules, Achilles and Jason (and his son Medeus). He is a shadowy figure in mythology and as only a minor character in many myths, details are scarce. The father of the race of centaurs was Centaurus, himself the offspring of Ixion who had made love to Hera, or more precisely, a cloud made by a jealous Zeus to resemble Hera. The centaurs were believed to live in the forests of Thessaly, beyond the laws of man. <P> The CENTAURS were creatures living in the mountains of Thessaly that had the upper part of a human being and the lower part of a horse. The LAPITHS are a people from Thessaly, who became famous mainly because of their battle against the CENTAURS, during which they were assisted by Pirithous and his friend Theseus. <P> Origins of Centaurs. In Greek mythology, the Centaurs had one father known with the name Ixion, who was one of Ares’ sons. Ixion killed the father of his wife, but Zeus took pity of him and forgave his acts after some time. However, in order to do so, Zeus tried to test him. He created a replica of Hera and sent it to Ixion <P> THE KENTAUROI (or Centaurs) were a tribe of half man, half horse savages which inhabited the mountains and forests of Magnesia. They were a primitive race who made their homes in mountain caves, hunted wild animals for food and armed themselves with rocks and tree branches. <P> Centaurs are half-human, half-horse creatures in Greek mythology. They have the body of a horse and the torso, head and arms of a man. They were considered to be the children of Ixion, king of the Lapiths, and Nephele, a cloud made in the image of Hera. According to a different myth, however, they were all born from the union of a single Centaurus with the Magnesian mares. <P> The centaurs (also known as Ixionidae) are a race of creatures that are part human and part horse. Their first appearance comes from early Greek archaeological finds in which Attic vase-paintings depicted the centaurs as the torso of a human joined at the waist to the horse's withers, where the horse's neck would be. In Mythology. Centaurs are thought of in many Greek myths as wild as untamed horses. Like the Titanomachy, the defeat of the Titans by the Olympian gods, the contests with the centaurs typify the struggle between civilization and barbarism. <P> Creatures part human and part horse. The centaurs were descendants of Centaurus, a son of the music god Apollo. Most centaurs were governed by the bestial half of their double nature. Their behavior was uncouth, and a very small amount of wine drove them wild <P> A centaur was a creature from Greek mythology which was half-man and half-horse. The head, arms and torso were human and joined at the waist to the body and legs of a horse. These creatures represented barbarism and unbridled chaos and were frequently represented in Greek architectural sculpture and pottery decoration. The father of the race of centaurs was Centaurus, himself the offspring of Ixion who had made love to Hera, or more precisely, a cloud made by a jealous Zeus to resemble Hera. The centaurs were believed to live in the forests of Thessaly, beyond the laws of man. <P> by Micha F. Lindemans. The centaurs of Greek mythology are creatures that are part human and part horse. They are usually portrayed with the torso and head of a human, and the body of a horse. Centaurs are the followers of the wine god Dionysus and are well known for drunkenness and carrying off helpless young maidens. | Centaurs are half-human, half-horse creatures in Greek mythology. |
how long is the colon in a human body | <P> The human colon is a continuous hollow tube that is approximately 5 feet long and 2-3 inches in diameter. Here are the four parts that make up the human colon: Health Begins In The Colon. Before beginning a colon cleanse program, I think it is extremely important for you to learn a little bit about what the human colon is and how it functions in your body. The human colon is an important, yet often overlooked organ of the digestive system. <P> Human Colon. A human colon plays an integral role in the digestive system of the human body. It is a constant hollow tube of about 5 feet long and 2-3 inches in diameter. The human colon constitutes four major parts, viz. ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and Sigmoid colon. <P> Therefore the average length of the human intestine is equal to the length of the small intestine added to the length of the large intestine. As a result the average length of the human intestine can be anywhere from 6 to 8.5 meters in length depending on size and age of the person it occupies. The small intestine of a human can be as long as six to eight meters long, depending on age and size of being. So much length can be compacted into so little space because of the nature of the small intestine; it is coiled and takes up less space, while maintaining it's enormous surface area. <P> It [the small intestine] is about 18 to 21 feet long and has a diameter of about 1 1/2 inches.. 5.5–6.4 m. (small intestine). Gray, Henry. The Anatomy of the Human Body. Lea & Febinger, 1985: 1478. The large intestine extends from the ileum to the anus. The small intestine of a human can be as long as six to eight meters long, depending on age and size of being. So much length can be compacted into so little space because of the nature of the small intestine; it is coiled and takes up less space, while maintaining it's enormous surface area. <P> An Overview of the Human Colon. In short, the human colon is a six-foot long organ that is an integral part of the digestive system. Its function is to transport waste material from the small intestine to the rectum. While food is still in the small intestine, all nutrients are removed and used by your body. <P> The human colon, or large intestine, is a muscular, tube-shaped organ measuring about 4 feet long. It extends from the end of your small bowel to your anus. <P> The large intestine (colon or large bowel) is about 5 feet long and about 3 inches in diameter. The colon absorbs water from wastes, creating stool. As stool enters the rectum, nerves there create the urge to defecate. The intestines include the small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. The small intestine (small bowel) is about 20 feet long and about an inch in diameter. Its job is to absorb most of the nutrients from what we eat and drink. <P> The human small intestine has a surface area about ten times greater than the skin surface. The large intestine is wide in diameters but shorter than the small intestine. It is only about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long. There is no decomposition of food in the large intestine. The small intestine of a human can be as long as six to eight meters long, depending on age and size of being. So much length can be compacted into so little space because of the nature of the small intestine; it is coiled and takes up less space, while maintaining it's enormous surface area. <P> The intestines are a long, continuous tube running from the stomach to the anus. Most absorption of nutrients and water happen in the intestines. The intestines include the small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. The small intestine (small bowel) is about 20 feet long and about an inch in diameter. Its job is to absorb most of the nutrients from what we eat and drink. <P> The large intestine, also called the colon or the large bowel, is the last part of the digestive system in vertebrates. Water is absorbed here and the remaining waste material is stored as feces before being removed by defecation. | 5 feet long and about 3 inches |

advantages and disadvantages of informal groups in an organization | <P> Advantages of Informal Organization. 1 Encourage improved management practice: Perhaps a subtle benefit of informal groups is that they encourage managers to prepare, plan, organize, and control in a more professional fashion. 1 Formal organization cannot take account of the sentiments and values residing in the social organization by means of which, individuals or groups of individuals are informally differentiated, ordered and intergraded. 2 Effective work system: In formal organizations are complimentary to formal o <P> Grapevine Communication. The grapevine is used to spread information bypassing the formal communication structure. Just like the grapevine plant: it spreads in random ways and it goes where it can. The grapevine is formed by individuals and groups in an organization. The people in the groups have something in common that links them together. A person can belong to one or more groups. As an example, a manager can belong to a group of women that go to lunch together every Friday. She can also belong to a group of managers in her department that talk about work in informal ways. <P> So these are the important advantages and disadvantages of formal organizations. It is important to understand that the formal structure can never be totally eradicated from an organization. It will always be there in some form. The key is to modify it accordingly for the best possible uses. Along with the informal structure, the formal organization is also a very important aspect in the management world. To read more about these organizational structures, see ‘ Formal and Informal Organizations ’. In this post, I will list down all the notable <P> Based on the type and nature of the organization, both the formal and informal organizational structures may be needed. Along with the informal structure, the formal organization is also a very important aspect in the management world. To read more about these organizational structures, see ‘ Formal and Informal Organizations ’. In this post, I will list down all the notable advantages and disadvantages of formal organizations. <P> 1. The most important advantage and the primary reason of informal organizations is that they are a source of social needs and affiliation. People like to get connected with co-workers and colleagues at a personal level. They talk with each other beyond their jobs, responsibilities and organizational duties. A Source of Social Needs: The most important advantage and the primary reason of informal organizations is that they are a source of social needs and affiliation. People like to get connected with co-workers and colleagues at a personal level. <P> There are a lot of advantages and disadvantages of informal organizations, but the key is to find the right amount of balance for your specific organization. Some organizations can do without a lot of intervention from the informal structures, while others actually need such groups. A Source of Social Needs: The most important advantage and the primary reason of informal organizations is that they are a source of social needs and affiliation. People like to get connected with co-workers and colleagues at a personal level. <P> There are several potential disadvantages to operating as an informal group: 1 Liability: One drawback for those engaging in online publishing activity as an informal group is personal liability for the acts of their co-publishers. There are two ways that co-publishers can reduce the uncertaintyinherent in their informal group arrangement: (1) entering into aco-publishing agreement; or (2) forming a limited liability businessentity like an LLC, a corporation, or a nonprofit organization. <P> Informal structures can make up for that and compensate the shortcomings of formal organizations. When people get demotivated and dissatisfied with formal structures, the informal organizations comfort them. It is a great advantage that informal structures create a necessary balance in an organization. A Source of Social Needs: The most important advantage and the primary reason of informal organizations is that they are a source of social needs and affiliation. People like to get connected with co-workers and colleagues at a personal level. <P> 1 Informality and Flexibility: The advantages of operating as an informal group stem from its informality and flexibility. 2 No burdensome paperwork or costly filing fees are required to form the group, and operating it requires no special burden or expense.

fibonacci sequence | <P> The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. 1 The 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1). 2 Similarly, the 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2), 3 And the 5 is (2+3), 4 and so on! <P> The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where a number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. Starting with 0 and 1, the sequence goes 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so forth. Written as a rule, the expression is x n = x n-1 + x n-2. <P> The mathematics of the golden ratio and of the Fibonacci sequence are intimately interconnected.

what year did the cassette recorders come out | <P> In the 1980s and 1990s, at the peak of VHS's popularity, the home video industry was caught up in a series of videotape format wars. Two of the formats, VHS and Betamax, received the most media exposure. In later years, optical disc formats began to offer better quality than video tape. The earliest of these formats, LaserDisc, was not widely adopted. However, the introduction of the DVD format to American consumers in 1997 began the market share decline of VHS. <P> Answer by Compactcassette. Confidence votes 29. The recordable Compact Cassette was first introduced in the U.S. in 1964 by Philips/Norelco as the Norelco Carry-Corder. The first Music Cassettes (Musicassettes) were introduced in the U.S. in Sept. 1966 by The Mercury Record Company-a U.S. affiliate of Philips. (The first CD to sell one million copies and outsell its vinyl counterpart was Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms in 1985.) In the 1980s and into the 1990s, CDs cost $15 and up, which was considerably more than cassette tapes, which were usually in the $8 range or less. <P> The first prototype for the videocassette recorder was created in 1956 by the Ampex Company. The large device that Ampex created was new on the market and hardly used by anybody. The price tag - $50,000 – made it practically unattainable by the average consumer. TV networks were the main buyers of these products. <P> The need for a convenient, easy-to-use format for magnetic tape was recognized early on. A number of attempts were made, including RCA Victor’s RCA Tape Cartridge in 1958 and the Muntz Stereo-Pak in 1952. RCA’s cassette was similar to the cassette tape we know, but in a larger package and with a 0.25-inch tape, like reel-to-reel. This made for a cassette that was 5 x 7.50 inches, and 0.50-inches thick. Unfortunately for RCA, the lack of prerecorded music available on the market made their product a failure. The first prerecorded music cassettes were released in 1965, just three short years after the introduction of the Compact Cassette to the market. This first offering consisted of just 49 titles; however, distribution of music cassettes did not really become popular until 1971, using the Dolby B noise-reduction system. <P> Although there were other magnetic tape cartridge systems, Philips' Compact Cassette became dominant as a result of Philips' decision in the face of pressure from Sony to license the format free of charge. Philips also released the Norelco Carry-Corder 150 recorder/player in the U.S. in November 1964. During the 1980s, the cassette's popularity grew further as a result of portable pocket recorders and high-fidelity (hi-fi) players, such as Sony's Walkman (1979). <P> When Philips introduced the first cassette tape in 1962, it was with a portable cassette recorder. The same basic style of top-loading portable cassette recorder was manufactured throughout the life of the cassette tape. However, development did not stop there. The first prerecorded music cassettes were released in 1965, just three short years after the introduction of the Compact Cassette to the market. This first offering consisted of just 49 titles; however, distribution of music cassettes did not really become popular until 1971, using the Dolby B noise-reduction system. <P> The first VCR to use VHS was the Victor HR-3300, and was introduced by the president of JVC at the Okura Hotel on September 9, 1976. JVC started selling the HR-3300 in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan on October 31, 1976. In later years, optical disc formats began to offer better quality than video tape. The earliest of these formats, LaserDisc, was not widely adopted. However, the introduction of the DVD format to American consumers in 1997 began the market share decline of VHS. <P> Its uses ranged from portable audio to home recording to data storage for early microcomputers. Between the early 1970s and the early 2000s, the cassette was one of the two most common formats for prerecorded music, first alongside the LP record and later the compact disc. During the 1980s, the cassette's popularity grew further as a result of portable pocket recorders and high-fidelity (hi-fi) players, such as Sony's Walkman (1979). <P> In 1962, Philips invented the Compact Cassette medium for audio storage, introducing it in Europe on 30 August 1963 (at the Berlin Radio Show), and in the United States (under the Norelco brand) in November 1964, with the trademark name Compact Cassette. The team at Philips was led by Lou Ottens in Hasselt, Belgium. During the 1980s, the cassette's popularity grew further as a result of portable pocket recorders and high-fidelity (hi-fi) players, such as Sony's Walkman (1979). <P> Sony came out with the first VCR for home use in 1975. It was called the Betamax. A year later, JVC introduced its VHS videocassette recorder. After a several-year battle, the … VHS became the VCR standard. Sony began producing VHS recorders in 1988 and produced its last Betamax in 2002. The true first VCR was invented in 1956 and was the size of a piano. The VCR was invented in 1971 along with the dot-matrix, food processor and the liquid-crystal display The VCR that we see these days was invented in 1970. | In 1963 |
what is irradiation used for | <P> At irradiation levels approved for use on foods, levels of the vitamin thiamine are slightly reduced, but not enough to result in vitamin deficiency. There are no other significant changes in the amino acid, fatty acid, or vitamin content of food. No. Irradiation is equivalent to pasteurization for solid foods, but it is not the same as sterilization. Food irradiation can be an important tool in the war against illness and death from foodborne diseases. But it is not a substitute for comprehensive food safety programs throughout the food distribution system. <P> Ion irradiation is routinely used to implant impurities atoms into materials, especially semiconductors, to modify their properties. This process, usually known as ion implantation, is an important step in the manufacture of silicon integrated circuits. Irradiation is used in diagnostic imaging, cancer therapy and blood transfusion. In 2011 researchers found that irradiation was successful in the novel theranostic technique involving co-treatment with heptamethine dyes to elucidate tumor cells and attenuate their growth with minimal side effects. <P> Irradiation by X-ray is similar to irradiation by gamma rays in that less energetic packets of light (X-rays) are used. X-rays are generated by colliding accelerated electrons with a dense material (this process is known as bremsstrahlung-conversion), and therefore do not necessitate the use of radioactive materials. Irradiation is used to delay the ripening of fruits and the sprouting of vegetables by slowing down the speed at which enzymes produced by the food can change the food. By halting or slowing down spoilage and slowing down the ripening of food, irradiation prolongs the shelf life of goods. <P> The Food and Drug Administration has approved irradiation of meat and poultry and allows its use for a variety of other foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, and spices. The agency determined that the process is safe and effective in decreasing or eliminating harmful bacteria. No. Irradiation is equivalent to pasteurization for solid foods, but it is not the same as sterilization. Food irradiation can be an important tool in the war against illness and death from foodborne diseases. But it is not a substitute for comprehensive food safety programs throughout the food distribution system. <P> 1 Sterilization – irradiation can be used to sterilize foods, which can then be stored for years without refrigeration. 2 Sterilized foods are useful in hospitals for patients with severely impaired immune systems, such as patients with AIDS or undergoing chemotherapy. Like pasteurizing milk and canning fruits and vegetables, irradiation can make food safer for the consumer. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for regulating the sources of radiation that are used to irradiate food. <P> Food irradiation is the process of exposing foodstuffs to ionizing radiation, energy that is transmitted to the food without direct contact capable of stripping electrons from the food. Irradiation is used to delay the ripening of fruits and the sprouting of vegetables by slowing down the speed at which enzymes produced by the food can change the food. By halting or slowing down spoilage and slowing down the ripening of food, irradiation prolongs the shelf life of goods. <P> In addition, irradiation is widely used to sterilize a variety of medical and household products, such as joint implants, band-aids, baby pacifiers, cosmetic ingredients, wine and bottle corks, and food packaging materials. No. Irradiation is equivalent to pasteurization for solid foods, but it is not the same as sterilization. Food irradiation can be an important tool in the war against illness and death from foodborne diseases. But it is not a substitute for comprehensive food safety programs throughout the food distribution system. <P> Irradiation is most useful in four areas. Preservation. Irradiation can be used to destroy or inactivate organisms that cause spoilage and decomposition, thereby extending the shelf life of foods. It is an energy-efficient food preservation method that has several advantages over traditional canning. The irradiation process involves passing food through an irradiation field; however, the food itself never contacts a radioactive substance. Also, the ionizing radiation used by irradiators is not strong enough to disintegrate the nucleus of even one atom of a food molecule. <P> Food irradiation (the application of ionizing radiation to food) is a technology that improves the safety and extends the shelf life of foods by reducing or eliminating microorganisms and insects. Like pasteurizing milk and canning fruits and vegetables, irradiation can make food safer for the consumer. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for regulating the sources of radiation that are used to irradiate food. | It is used to sterilize a variety of medical and household products, such as joint implants, band-aids, baby pacifiers, cosmetic ingredients, wine and bottle corks, and food packaging materials. |

Most MRSA infections ... A staph infection (also known as MRSA) is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. Staph infections can affect the skin, blood, bones, or lungs. Causes. MRSA can be spread through several mechanisms: ... <P> In this article. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that causes infections in different parts of the body. It's tougher to treat than most strains of staphylococcus aureus -- or staph -- because it's resistant to some commonly used antibiotics. The symptoms of MRSA depend on where you're infected. Most often, it causes mild infections on the skin, like sores or boils. <P> MRSA is the abbreviation for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus is a group of bacteria, familiarly known as Staph (pronounced staff), that can cause a multitude of diseases as a result of infection of various tissues of the body. <P> Introduction. MRSA is a type of bacteria that's resistant to a number of widely used antibiotics. This means MRSA infections can be more difficult to treat than other bacterial infections. The full name of MRSA is meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. You may have heard it called a superbug. <P> MRSA (methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus) is a type of staphylococcus bacteria (staph) that is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. MRSA is contagious and can cause life-threatening infection. MRSA isn’t found in the natural environment (soil or water). It lives in the nose and on the skin of humans. MRSA is spread by coming in contact with an infected person or by exposure to a MRSA-contaminated object or surface that an infected person touches. <P> Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics.

what is the common ancestor of humans | <P> Let us define the terms: CA Common Ancestor of all living humans-There are trillions of these, stretching from the origin of DNA-based life 4 to 3.5 billion years ago to a lot more recently-perhaps even within historical times, as we shall see. Most of these are pre-human animals, but the recent ones are human. In other words, there existed in the past animals who are common ancestors of all humans now living. What this page is about is when was the most recent common ancestor of all living humans. A number of new strands of evidence indicate it was surprisingly recent, even within recorded history. <P> In biology, the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of any set of organisms is the most recent individual from which all organisms in a group are directly descended. The term is often applied to human genealogy. The MRCA of a set of individuals can sometimes be determined by referring to an established pedigree. Likewise, Y chromosome is present as a single sex chromosome in the male individual and is passed on to male descendants without recombination. It can be used to trace patrilineal inheritance and to find the Y-chromosomal Adam, the most recent common ancestor of all humans via the Y-DNA pathway. <P> The chimpanzee–human last common ancestor, or CHLCA, is the last species shared as a common ancestor by humans and chimpanzees; it represents the node point at which the line to genus Homo split from genus Pan. The last common ancestor of humans and chimps is estimated to have lived during the late Miocene, but possibly as late as Pliocene times—that is, more recent than 5.3 million years ago. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: That there is a common ancestor of Apes and Humans, is all pure speculation. There should be an abundance of fossil evidence for all kinds of common ancestors, but there's not one single shred on the face of this planet. Those that have been offered so far are way off target. We share a common ancestor with chimpanzees and bonobos. Evolution does not 'state' this. It is clearly evident in our shared anatomical features, our DNA, and in our fossil record. As for what is the common ancestor, the common ancestor was a prehistoric African forest ape. <P> Current thinking is that humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor and scientists are getting closer and closer to telling us that story of our origins. However, they do not have the definitive answer yet. For one, both humans and bats are in the class Mamalia, which is reason enough to suggest that they come from a common ancestor. The modern classification system, developed by … Linnaeus, and modified by scientists such as Darwin and Lyell, is based of common ancestors. <P> Earlier estimates suggested that the most recent common ancestor of humans and chimps lived around 6-7 million years ago; however, recent evidence has suggested that the mutation rates may have been vastly overestimated and that the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) in fact lived 12 million years ago. <P> Scientists carefully study fossils to determine what the last common ancestor of humans and African apes looked like. This image shows Paranthropus boisei, a hominid that lived in sub-Saharan Africa between 2 and 1.4 million years ago. Image credit: © Roman Yevseyev. <P> The term MRCA is usually used to describe a common ancestor of individuals within a species. It can also be used to describe a common ancestor between species. To avoid confusion, last common ancestor (LCA) or the equivalent term concestor is sometimes used in place of MRCA when discussing ancestry between species. Likewise, Y chromosome is present as a single sex chromosome in the male individual and is passed on to male descendants without recombination. It can be used to trace patrilineal inheritance and to find the Y-chromosomal Adam, the most recent common ancestor of all humans via the Y-DNA pathway. <P> Since the earliest hominid species diverged from the ancestor we share with modern African apes, 5 to 8 million years ago, there have been at least a dozen different species of these humanlike creatures. Many of these hominid species are close relatives, but not human ancestors. Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but we didn't evolve from apes, either. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. | The chimpanzee–human last common ancestor, or CHLCA, is the last species shared as a common ancestor by humans and chimpanzees; it represents the node point at which the line to genus Homo split from genus Pan. |

If the solvent is a liquid, then gases, liquids, and solids can be dissolved. Here are some examples: Gas in liquid: Oxygen in water. Carbon dioxide in water is a less simple example, because the solution is accompanied by a chemical reaction (formation of ions). Solid in liquid: Sucrose (table sugar) in water Sodium chloride or any other salt in water forms an electrolyte: When dissolving, salt dissociates into ions. the solvent is a sol <P> Liquid solutions: the solvent is liquid. 1 Solid-liquid: A solid solute in a liquid solvent. 2 Examples will be salt (solute) dissolved in water (solvent) and sugar (solute) dissolved in water (solvent). 3 Liquid-liquid: A liquid solute in a liquid solvent. Liquid solutions: the solvent is liquid. 1 Solid-liquid: A solid solute in a liquid solvent. 2 Liquid-liquid: A liquid solute in a liquid solvent. 3 Gas-liquid: A gas <P> 1 Liquid-liquid: A liquid solute in a liquid solvent. 2 An example is 70% isopropyl alcohol, which is a mixture of alcohol and water. 3 In this case, imagine 70 mL of isopropyl alcohol mixed with 30 mL of water. 4 Since the alcohol makes up majority of the solution, that makes it the solvent. Liquid solutions: the solvent is liquid. 1 Solid-liquid: A solid solute in a liquid solvent. 2 Liquid-liquid: A liquid solute in a liquid solvent. 3 Gas-liquid: A gas <P> 1 Gas-liquid: A gas solute in a liquid solvent. 2 An example is oxygen, which is naturally present in water-the solute is oxygen and the solvent is water. 3 Another example is carbonated water, where the solute is carbon dioxide gas and the solvent is water. Liquid solutions: the solvent is liquid. 1 Solid-liquid: A solid solute in a liquid solvent. 2 Liquid-liquid: A liquid solute in a liquid solvent. 3 <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Any kind of soda is a gas liquid solution. Beer and sparkling wine and seltzer are also. The air dissolved in water is the air that fish breath. You can see it wen a glass of cold water is left to warm on the counter and air bubbles form. What's a good example of a solution of a gas in a liquid? It has to be an example that uses household items. I need to release the gas from the liquid or OBVIOUSLY show that there is gas in the liquid. | Any kind of soda , Beer and sparkling wine and seltzer are also

GSM uses a variation of time division multiple access (TDMA) and is the most widely used of the three digital wireless telephony technologies (TDMA, GSM, and CDMA). <P> GSM is a cellular network, which means that cell phones connect to it by searching for cells in the immediate vicinity. There are five different cell sizes in a GSM network— macro, micro, pico, femto, and umbrella cells. Most 3G networks in Europe operate in the 2100 MHz frequency band. For more information on worldwide GSM frequency usage, see GSM frequency bands. Regardless of the frequency selected by an operator, it is divided into timeslots for individual phones. <P> GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications, originally Groupe Special Spécial), mobile is a standard developed by The European Telecommunications Standards (INSTITUTE) etsi to describe the protocols for-second (GENERATION) 2g digital cellular networks used by mobile, phones first deployed In finland In july. 1991 Most 3G networks in Europe operate in the 2100 MHz frequency band. For more information on worldwide GSM frequency usage, see GSM frequency bands. Regardless of the frequency selected by an operator, it is divided into timeslots for individual phones. <P> GSM, or Global System for Mobile, is the primary type of technology used for cell phones in the rest of the world. Within the United States, a much small number of network service providers are on the GSM standard, among them T-Mobile and AT and T. What CDMA and GSM Mean for Unlocked Phones. One big question a lot of buyers have is what the differences between CDMA and GSM technologies mean when they want to purchase an unlocked phone. <P> If you're shopping for a mobile phone, you're in for a lot of acronyms. Here's what you need to know about two basic, yet important, terms. Two basic technologies in mobile phones, CDMA and GSM represent a gap you can't cross.

what determines a mortgage pre approval | <P> To get a clearer view of the home loan process, it’s helpful to know some of the factors that will be considered when your mortgage application is reviewed. When you apply for a mortgage, your loan officer will forward your application and the supporting documentation to an underwriter. 1 Most lenders want your debt-to-income ratio to be 36% or less, but the ratio that works best for you is the one that you can comfortably afford. 2 Your likelihood to repay the loan. 3 Your payment history and credit score are indicators to lenders of your likelihood to make payments in the future. 4 The home value. <P> Mortgage pre-approval on Zillow is a tool you can use to connect with a lender who will conduct a preliminary review to determine your loan qualifications based on their guidelines. A pre-approval letter is not an offer to lend, a commitment to make a loan, or a guarantee of specific rates or terms. This online questionnaire is not an application for credit. Also, having a pre-approval letter does not guarantee that an offer you make on a home will be accepted by a seller. <P> TERMINOLOGY. Two often confused terms in the home buying process are a mortgage loan pre-qualification and a home loan pre-approval. Even some loan officers and real estate agents will use the terms incorrectly, so here's what you really need to know about each one. Pre-Qualification <P> Pre-Approval. This stage is much more involved and means a great deal more. The lender will examine your credit report, your income and your employment history and with this information will determine what kind of loan programs you qualify for. The process involves the lender first examining your credit and verifying you income amount. The big difference between the mortgage pre approval and a pre-qualification is that with a pre qualification these numbers aren't verified. <P> Get your documents ready for pre-approval. A pre-approval is a written commitment from a lender that you qualify for up to a specific loan amount based on your income and credit information. To get pre-approved, be prepared to provide: 1 Recent pay stubs – usually for the previous two or three months. 2 If you are employed, W-2 tax forms for the past two years. <P> Pre-Approval vs. Loan Commitment. One of the most misunderstood item in the mortgage process is the difference between a pre-approval (sometimes referred to as pre-qualification or preliminary loan approval) and a loan commitment. A pre-approval is particularly important when the loan will be used to purchase a home, as it provides you with a good indication of the loan amount you can receive (and thus the price range of a house you can purchase). <P> Mortgage pre-approval involves the same steps as a mortgage application-you'll provide detailed information about your income and assets that will be reviewed by the lender's underwriters. If approved, you'll get a commitment by the lender for a specific loan amount. (When you apply for a mortgage, you're applying for credit to purchase a specific property as well.). Pre-approval shows you have the resources to make the purchase and it helps you act quickly when you find the perfect home. <P> Pre-approval. Getting pre-approved means that you have a tentative commitment from a specific lender for mortgage funding. In this case, you provide a home loan lender with actual documentation of your income, assets, and debts. Two often confused terms in the home buying process are a mortgage loan pre-qualification and a home loan p <P> A pre-approval is generally a written statement from a lender stating the lender’s preliminary determination that a borrower would qualify for a particular loan amount under that lender’s guidelines. The determination and loan amount are based on income and credit information. A pre-approval letter is not an offer to lend, a commitment to make a loan, or a guarantee of specific rates or terms. This online questionnaire is not an application for credit. Also, having a pre-approval letter does not guarantee that an offer you make on a home will be accepted by a seller. | Mortgage pre-approval involves the same steps as a mortgage application-you'll provide detailed information about your income and assets that will be reviewed by the lender's underwriters.If approved, you'll get a commitment by the lender for a specific loan amount. |
what is ercp | <P> ERCP is a procedure that enables your physician to examine the pancreatic and bile ducts. A bendable, lighted tube (endoscope) about the thickness of your index finger is placed through your mouth and into your stomach and first part of the small intestine (duodenum). ERCP is most commonly performed to diagnose conditions of the pancreas or bile ducts, and is also used to treat those conditions. It is used to evaluate symptoms suggestive of disease in these organs, or to further clarify abnormal results from blood tests or imaging tests such as ultrasound or CT scan. <P> Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, commonly referred to as ERCP, is a highly sensitive endoscopy procedure used to treat symptoms related to a patient’s bile liver, gallbladder and pancreas—such as pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). <P> Guide. An endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP) test checks the tubes (ducts) that drain the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. A flexible, lighted scope (endoscope) and X-ray pictures are used. The scope is put through the mouth and gently moved down the throat. ERCP is done to: 1 Check lasting belly pain or jaundice. 2 Find gallstones or diseases of the liver, bile ducts, or pancreas. 3 Remove gallstones from the common bile duct if they are causing problems. 4 These may include a blockage (obstruction), inflammation or infection of the common bile duct (cholangitis), or pancreatitis. <P> ERCP is a procedure that uses an endoscope and X-rays to look at the bile duct and the pancreatic duct. ERCP can also be used to remove gallstones or take small samples of tissue for analysis (a biopsy). Note: the information below is a general guide only. <P> ERCP (short for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure used to diagnose diseases of the gallbladder, bile system, pancreas, and liver. <P> Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography (ERCP) is a method for getting into the bile duct and pancreas though the mouth. When invented over 40 years ago, ERCP was a breakthrough that allowed doctors to find local diseases. ERCP is used mainly to treat diseases that have been detected by these means. Illustration depicting an ERCP procedure. ERCP uses an endoscope, which is a long flexible narrow tube with a camera at the end. <P> ERCP is a test used to look for and treat abnormalities in the pancreas, bile ducts, and gallbladder. ERCP is an abbreviation for “endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.” ERCP is a combination of two different types of tests: an endoscopy and an X-ray. An endoscopy is a procedure in which a thin, flexible tube attached to a tiny camera is threaded down to your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. <P> An important procedure related to ERCP is endoscopic ultrasonography which uses a similar endoscope that, in addition to the camera, has an ultrasound probe on its tip to examine the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreatic duct, and pancreas ultrasonographically. A second, newer procedure related to ERCP is the use of miniature endoscopes that are passed through the operating channel of a duodenoscope and can be inserted directly into the bile and pancreatic ducts. The inside of the ducts can be visualized, and directed biopsies can be taken. <P> A. ERCP (short for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure used to diagnose diseases of the gallbladder, biliary system, pancreas, and liver. The test looks upstream where digestive fluid comes from -- the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas -- to where it enters the intestines. In this article.

what are predators of the peacock | <P> 1 While the predators arrive, peacocks tend to hide themselves in the trees. 2 Harem is the combined name of peahens (females). 3 Party is the collective name of a group of peacocks. 4 Bevy is the name given to the family of peacocks. <P> The peacock (also known as peafowl) is a medium sized bird most closely related to the pheasant. Unlike it's common pheasant cousin that inhabits areas of the Northern Hemisphere, the peacock is found in warmer climate of the Southern Hemisphere, with the peacock being most commonly found in India. This is known as a tail or a train. During the mating season, the male peacock may mate with up to six different female peahens. The female peahen lays between 4 and 8 brown coloured eggs. The female peahen incubates her eggs by sitting on them, and the peacock chicks hatch after an incubation period of about a month. <P> Male peacocks are known as peacocks and female peacocks are known as peahens (in a similar way to chickens and pheasants). The male is peacock is generally about twice the size of the female peahen, and even larger when the male peacock is displaying his plumage (feathers). This is known as a tail or a train. During the mating season, the male peacock may mate with up to six different female peahens. The female peahen lays between 4 and 8 brown coloured eggs. The female peahen incubates her eggs by sitting on them, and the peacock chicks hatch after an incubation period of about a month. <P> These peacocks have a long “train,” which most people think is their tail. Actually, those long feathers are the male's tail coverts, or the feathers that cover the base of the tail. The train is covered in ocelli, which are round spots that look a lot like shining eyes. Other animals don’t mind, though. With their sharp eyes, peafowl are likely to be the first to see a predator and call out a loud alarm. Normally, when a peacock is just walking around, his train trails behind him but held just above the ground. <P> There are two peafowl species: Indian or blue peafowl and green peafowl. Most people are familiar with the Indian peafowl, since that is the kind found in many zoos and parks. The peacock has some of the brightest feathers and one of the most impressive courting displays of any bird in the world. Other animals don’t mind, though. With their sharp eyes, peafowl are likely to be the first to see a predator and call out a loud alarm. Normally, when a peacock is just walking around, his train trails behind him but held just above the ground. <P> But these birds do have a number of predators in their native habitat including wild dogs, raccoons and even tigers. There are only three species of peafowl – the Indian peafowl, the green peafowl and the Congo peacock – and they are all members of the pheasant family. The feathered tail is the most prominent feature of a peafowl, and whipping out this tail when approached can scare a predator away. At night peafowl roost in groups in high branches of leafy trees to protect themselves. <P> Indian peafowl are predators themselves, regularly dining on snakes. Anup Shah/Photodisc/Getty Images. Indian peacocks (Pavo cristatus) are some of the globe's most unforgettable and physically stunning animals, what with their vivid decorative trains. The females of the species are nowhere near as showy in the feather department -- and they're known as peahens, rather than peacock <P> Indian peahens are visually a lot more lackluster than peacocks, and for good reason pertaining to the survival of offspring. While the males have to be conspicuous to gain the attentions of females for breeding, the goal of the females is to stay as far under the radar as possible. Indian peacocks (Pavo cristatus) are some of the globe's most unforgettable and physically stunning animals, what with their vivid decorative trains. <P> Although most people call the species peacocks, the word really only refers to the male bird. Just like among chickens, where the male is called a rooster or cock and the female is called a hen, male peafowl are peacocks, female peafowl are peahens, and babies are peachicks! Other animals don’t mind, though. With their sharp eyes, peafowl are likely to be the first to see a predator and call out a loud alarm. Normally, when a peacock is just walking around, his train trails behind him but held just above the ground. <P> Found in the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the peacock mantis shrimp is arguably one of the most captivating creatures in the sea. Its hard-shelled body is bursting with color—hues of bright red, green, orange and blue, and its forearms are covered in spots. | Wild dogs,raccoons and even tigers. |
