what is scrum programming | <P> a better way of building software. Scrum is a management and control process that cuts through complexity to focus on building software that meets business needs. Management and teams are able to get their hands around the requirements and technologies, never let go, and deliver working software, incrementally and empirically. <P> product owner. The product owner is a role in scrum development of the person who represents the business or user community. See complete definition. rescoring. Rescoring is an Agile software development process in which the development team revisits a pre-defined list of user stories to ... See complete definition. <P> Scrum is a lightweight agile method for software development. Scrum is named after the Scrum in rugby, which is a way to restart the game after an accidental infringement. Another characteristic of Scrum is that the software development process isn’t treated as a linear process, unlike the Waterfall, Spiral and Iterative methodologies. In a lot of cases this linear process consists of the following four activities: Analysis, Design, Implementation and Testing. <P> Scrum is an agile methodology that can be applied to nearly any project; however, the Scrum methodology is most commonly used in software development. This feedback loop within Scrum software development may result in changes to the freshly delivered functionality, but it may just as likely result in revising or adding items to the product backlog. Another activity in Scrum project management is the sprint retrospective at the end of each sprint. <P> Agile software development is a group of software development methods in which solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams. It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, continuous improvement, and encourages rapid and flexible response to change. <P> Scrum is based on the principles and values of the agile manifesto, which proposes a different style for managing software development work, encouraging an emphasis on people over processes, working software over documentation, collaboration over contract negotiation, and responding to change over following a plan. If anyone thinks Scrum is now known to everyone involved in software development or project management, think again. ‘What is Scrum’ is still one of the most searched terms on the web (in relation to agile development that is). <P> Learn About Scrum. Scrum is an Agile framework for completing complex projects. Scrum originally was formalized for software development projects, but it works well for any complex, innovative scope of work. The possibilities are endless. The Scrum framework is deceptively simple. 1 A product owner creates a prioritized wish list called a product backlog. 2 During sprint planning, the team pulls a small chunk from the top of that wish list, a sprint backlog, and decides how to implement those pieces. <P> The Scrum approach to agile software development marks a dramatic departure from waterfall management. Scrum and other agile methods were inspired by its shortcomings. Scrum emphasizes collaboration, functioning software, team self management, and the flexibility to adapt to emerging business realities. 1 Team: According to Scrum’s founder, “the team is utterly self managing.” The development team is responsible for self organizing to complete work. 2 A Scrum development team contains about seven fully dedicated members (officially 3-9), ideally in one team room protected from outside distractions. <P> Scrum is part of the Agile movement. Agile is a response to the failure of the dominant software development project management paradigms (including waterfall) and borrows many principles from lean manufacturing. 1 Team: According to Scrum’s founder, “the team is utterly self managing.” The development team is responsible for self organizing to complete work. 2 A Scrum development team contains about seven fully dedicated members (officially 3-9), ideally in one team room protected from outside distractions. | It is an Agile framework for completing complex projects. |

how does diabetes mellitus often lead to ketoacidosis | <P> The body does this when it doesn’t have enough insulin to use glucose, the body’s normal source of energy. When ketones build up in the blood, they make it more acidic. They are a warning sign that your diabetes is out of control or that you are getting sick. High levels of ketones can poison the body. <P> It is key to treat high blood sugar. If you don’t, it can lead to a seriou s problem. called ketoacidosis. This is often the first sign of type 1 diabetes in children. It can. result in a coma or death. Insulin is used to treat type 1 diabetes. It can cause low <P> DKA (Ketoacidosis) & Ketones. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious condition that can lead to diabetic coma (passing out for a long time) or even death. When your cells don't get the glucose they need for energy, your body begins to burn fat for energy, which produces ketones. <P> Excess ketones build up in the blood and eventually spill over into the urine. Diabetic ketoacidosis is usually triggered by: 1 An illness. 2 An infection or other illness can cause your body to produce higher levels of certain hormones, such as adrenaline or cortisol. <P> Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). An emergency condition in which extremely high blood glucose levels, along with a severe lack of insulin, result in the breakdown of body fat for energy and an accumulation of ketones in the blood and urine. Signs of DKA are nausea and vomiting, stomach pain, fruity breath odor, and rapid breathing. <P> DKA is established if the patient's urine or blood is strongly positive for glucose and ketones. Normal glucose levels in a non-diabetic person on average range from 80-110 mg/dl. A person with diabetes will typically fluctuate outside those parameters. DKA glucose levels exceed 250 mg/dl and can reach 400 to 800 mg/dL. <P> Many experts advise to check your urine for ketones when your blood glucose is more than 240 mg/dl. When you are ill (when you have a cold or the flu, for example), check for ketones every 4 to 6 hours. And check every 4 to 6 hour | An emergency condition in which extremely high blood glucose levels, along with a severe lack of insulin, result in the breakdown of body fat for energy and an accumulation of ketones in the blood and urine. |

what is efudex | <P> Efudex is an anti-cancer (antineoplastic or cytotoxic) chemotherapy drug. Efudex is classified as an antimetabolite.. (For more detail, see How Efudex Works section below). 1 Efudex side effects are almost always reversible and will go away after treatment is complete. 2 There are many options to help minimize or prevent Efudex side effects. 3 There is no relationship between the presence or severity of Efudex side effects and the effectiveness of the medication. <P> Your doctor prescribed EFUDEX® fluorouracil) Topical Solutions or Cream because you have been diagnosed with a skin disease called Actinic Keratoses, also known as solar keratoses. These precancerous lesions are the result of years of unprotected exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. It is believed that the active ingredient (fluorouracil) in EFUDEX interferes with a cell’s ability to reproduce. AK cells, as well as cancer cells, multiply at a faster rate than normal cells. As a result, they absorb the medicine (EFUDEX Solutions or Cream) faster than the surrounding healthy cells. <P> Efudex (fluorouracil) is recommended for the topical treatment of multiple actinic or solar keratoses. In the 5% strength it is also useful in the treatment of superficial basal cell carcinomas when conventional methods are impractical, such as with multiple lesions or difficult treatment sites. Efudex Cream is available in 40-gm tubes containing 5% fluorouracil (NDC 0187-3204-47) in a vanishing cream base consisting of white petrolatum, stearyl alcohol, propylene glycol, polysorbate 60 and parabens (methyl and propyl). <P> As a result, cells cannot multiply. With continued treatment, the remaining cells also die. The FDA approved fluorouracil in July 1970. PRESCRIBED FOR: Topical fluorouracil is used to treat certain skin conditions in which cells are multiplying rapidly. It is used to treat cancerous or precancerous conditions including solar keratoses, actinic keratosis, superficial basal cell carcinoma, and Bowen's disease (a type of skin cancer). It also is used to treat some noncancerous conditions in which cells are dividing rapidly, including psoriasis, genital warts, and porokeratosis (an unusual inherited skin condition causing dry patches on the arms and legs). Fluorouracil works best on the face and scalp and is less effective on other areas of the body. <P> This medication is used on the skin to treat pre-cancerous and cancerous skin growths. Fluorouracil belongs to a class of medications known as anti-metabolites. It works by blocking the growth of abnormal cells that cause the skin condition. Use this medication as directed by your doctor. Before you apply this medication to the skin, clean the affected area and dry well. Wait 10 minutes, then apply a small amount of medication to the affected skin, using just enough to cover the area with a thin film. <P> Efudex Program for sun damaged skin: The “Eraser”. Efudex (fluorouracil)is a topical cream that has remained the GOLD STANDARD for treatment of pre-cancers called actinic keratosis. It is an optional treatment for fair skin individuals with multiple or recurrent actinic keratosis. The goal of your therapy with Efudex is to be pro-active and potentially cut down on your total number of pre-cancers and future skin cancers. Most patients use the cream twice a day for 4 weeks from start to finish. It is usually best to treat an area and not spot treat. <P> 1 As a topical cream or solution, a thin coating is applied to the affected skin lesions, treatment may continue over several weeks. 2 Use non-metal applicator or fingertips to apply cream. 3 Use care when applying cream or solution around the eyes, nose, and mouth. 4 Wash your hands immediately after applying Efudex. 1 Efudex side effects are almost always reversible and will go away after treatment is complete. 2 There are many options to help minimize or prevent Efudex side effects. 3 There is no relationship between the presence or severity of Efudex side effects and the effectiveness of the medication. <P> How to use Efudex topical. Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Use this medication as directed by your doctor. Before you apply this medication to the skin, clean the affected area and dry well. Wait 10 minutes, then apply a small amount of medication to the affected skin, using just enough to cover the area with a thin film. <P> How Efudex Is Given: 1 As a topical cream or solution, a thin coating is applied to the affected skin lesions, treatment may continue over several weeks. 2 Use non-metal applicator or fingertips to apply cream. 1 Efudex side effects are almost always reversible and will go away after treatment is complete. 2 There are many options to help minimize or prevent Efudex side effects. 3 There is no relationship between the presence or severity of Efudex side effects and the effectiveness of the medication. <P> DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Topical fluorouracil is a drug that is used to treat conditions of the skin in which there is rapid multiplication (division) of cells, for example, skin cancer. It also is used to treat some noncancerous conditions in which cells are dividing rapidly, including psoriasis, genital warts, and porokeratosis (an unusual inherited skin condition causing dry patches on the arms and legs). Fluorouracil works best on the face and scalp and is less effective on other areas of the body. | Efudex (fluorouracil) is recommended for the topical treatment of multiple actinic or solar keratoses. |

the mean of the comparison distribution for an independent-samples t test is | <P> We can use the separate variances 2-sample t-test. 2-Sample (Independent Samples) t-Procedure Using Separate Variances to Do Inferences for Two-Population Means (Very Different Standard Deviations for the Two Samples). Note: The formulas are provided in the following for your reference only. When one wants to estimate the difference between two population means from independent samples, then one will use a t-interval. If the sample variances are not very different, one can use the pooled 2-sample t-interval. the degrees of freedom of t is n1 + n2 - 2. Step 1. Find with df = n 1 + n 2 - 2. Step 2. <P> (1) the difference between the averages is large, (2) the sample size is large, and. (3) responses are consistently close to the average values and not widely spread out (the standard deviation is low). The t-test’s statistical significance and the t-test’s effect size are the two primary outputs of the t-test. <P> As an example, in the one-sample t-test, where is the sample mean from a sample, of size, is the ratio of sample standard deviation over population standard deviation, is the population standard deviation of the data, and is the population mean. For a one-sample multivariate test, the hypothesis is that the mean vector () is equal to a given vector (). The test statistic is Hotelling's T 2 : where n is the sample size, is the vector of column means and is a sample covariance matrix. <P> Description. Performs a t-test for the comparison of the means of two independent samples. This test is not performed on data in the spreadsheet, but on statistics you enter in a dialog box. <P> Sampling Distribution of the Differences Between the Two Sample Means for Independent Samples. The point estimate for-is: - . In order to find a confidence interval for-and perform hypothesis testing, we need to find the sampling distribution of - . When one wants to estimate the difference between two population means from independent samples, then one will use a t-interval. If the sample variances are not very different, one can use the pooled 2-sample t-interval. the degrees of freedom of t is n1 + n2 - 2. Step 1. Find with df = n 1 + n 2 - 2. Step 2. <P> The single-sample t-test compares the mean of the sample to a given number (which you supply). The dependent-sample t-test compares the difference in the means from the two variables to a given number (usually 0), while taking into account the fact that the scores are not independent. The independent samples t-test compares the difference in the means from the two groups to a given value (usually 0). The single sample t-test tests the null hypothesis that the population mean is equal to the given number specified using the option H0=. In our example, the t-value for variable write is 4.14 with 199 degrees of freedom. <P> Again, we assume that the (theoretical) population mean is 4, the sample mean is 5.0, and the sample standard deviation s is 1.936. Now, the standard error will be When N = 20, the critical value for a 5% significance test will be 2.09 (because the t-distribution curve is closer to the normal distribution). 1 Why the t-distribution is a family of curves. 2 How critical t-values change as a function of the alternative hypothesis and the Type I error rate. 3 How to calculate t-values for a single sample t-test, an independent samples t-test, and a paired t-test. <P> Independent Samples t Test. The Independent Samples t Test compares the means of two independent groups in order to determine whether there is statistical evidence that the associated population means are significantly different. The Independent Samples t Test is a parametric test. The calculated t value is then compared to the critical t value from the t distribution table with degrees of freedom df = n 1 + n 2 - 2 and chosen confidence level. If the calculated t t value, then we reject the null hypothesis. Note that this form of the independent samples T test statistic assumes equal variances. <P> T-test. The ttest command performs t-tests for one sample, two samples and paired observations. The single-sample t-test compares the mean of the sample to a given number (which you supply). The independent samples t-test compares the difference in the means from the two groups to a given value (usually 0). In other words, it tests whether the difference in the means is 0. The single sample t-test tests the null hypothesis that the population mean is equal to the given number specified using the option write == . For this example, we will compare the mean of the variable write. In this example, the t-statistic is 4.1403 with 199 degrees of freedom. | It means of two independent groups in order to determine whether there is statistical evidence that the associated population means are significantly different. |
meaning of fellowship | <P> Fellowship. The term fellowship has no specific definition given to it within the New Testament; however, we are called into fellowship with one another (1 John 1:3), with Jesus (1 Cor. 1:9), with the Father (1 John 1:3), and with the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14). Fellowship implies sharing common interests, desires, and motivations. <P> Such a word is Fellowship We use it a lot, but most times not in its biblical meaning.            In our day the word is used to describe gathering ranging from coffee and donuts to worship services. They are design to promote fellowship with each other.            What I want to do today is look at the biblical use of the word and its use in Scripture and let it teach us what is true fellowship that God would have us to experience. <P> fellowship-the state of being with someone; he missed their company; he enjoyed the society of his friends. companionship, company, society. freemasonry-a natural or instinctive fellowship between people of similar interests; he enjoyed the freemasonry of the Press. fel•low•ship. 1. the condition or relation of belonging to the same class or group. 2. friendly relationship; companionship; camaraderie: the fellowship among old friends. 3. community of interest, feeling, etc. <P> Here the basic meaning of fellowship is a real and practical sharing in eternal life with the Father and the Son. In Paul's letters we find that the apostle emphasizes the faithfulness of the call of God the Father in the gospel into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (1 Cor 1:9). Thus the fellowship and sharing are religious or specifically Christian only if the context requires this meaning. For example, in ac 2:42 we encounter the word Koinonia [ koinwa ] and read that the new converts continued in the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship .. <P> The first fact concerns the meaning of the Greek root. Our English word, “fellowship” is the translation of the Greek word, “ koinonia .” This Greek word is derived from the root, “ koinos ,” which was a prefix in ancient Greek. Our sixth observation concerning the meaning of “fellowship” is that it is a unique relationship with Christ. We have a relationship of being “in Christ.” We also have a relationship of being “a part of Christ’s body.” Fellowship is neither. It is not “being in” or “being part” but it is “doing with” Christ <P> (1) Fellowship means being a part of a group, a body of people. It is opposed to isolation, solitude, loneliness, and our present-day independent kind of individualism. Of course, it does not stop there because we can be in a crowd of people and even share certain things in common, but still not have fellowship. Without God’s means of fellowship, we can’t have true Christian fellowship. What we end up with is mere religiosity as it pertains to God, and simply social interchange and a compatibility of old sin natures as it pertains to men. <P> English Definition of Fellowship. Before we begin a study of the Greek words, let’s get a glimpse of our word “fellowship” from the English dictionary to see what it might add to our understanding. An English dictionary can shed a lot of light on the Bible if we would use it in our Bible study. Without God’s means of fellowship, we can’t have true Christian fellowship. What we end up with is mere religiosity as it pertains to God, and simply social interchange and a compatibility of old sin natures as it pertains to men. <P> B. The Greek word is koinonia.. It means communion fellowship, sharing in common, something widespread, familiar and ordinary. It comes from the word common which is the heart meaning of the word. A sister term is koin o inos , meaning a partnership, an associate. It has as its root the acts of sharing in something. They are design to promote fellowship with each other.            What I want to do today is look at the biblical use of the word and its use in Scripture and let it teach us what is true fellowship that God would have us to experience. <P> Noun. 1. fellowship-an association of people who share common beliefs or activities; the message was addressed not just to employees but to every member of the company family; the church welcomed new members into its fellowship. fel•low•ship. 1. the condition or relation of belonging to the same class or group. 2. friendly relationship; companionship; camaraderie: the fellowship among old friends. 3. community of interest, feeling, etc. | An association of people who share common beliefs or activities. |
what does foreign currency adjustment translation mean | <P> Foreign currency translation. Foreign currency translation is used to convert the results of a parent company's foreign subsidiaries to its reporting currency. This is a key part of the financial statement consolidation process. The steps in this translation process are as follows: 1 Determine the functional currency of the foreign entity. 2 Remeasure the financial statements of the foreign entity into the reporting currency of the parent company. <P> Revaluation means a change of a price of goods or products. This term is specially used as revaluation of a currency, where it means a rise of currency to the relation with a foreign currency in a fixed exchange rate. In floating exchange rate correct term would be appreciation. In general terms, revaluation of a currency is a calculated adjustment to a country's official exchange rate relative to a chosen baseline. The baseline can be anything from wage rates to the price of gold to a foreign currency. <P> Changes in functional currency amounts that result from the measurement process are called transaction gains or losses; transaction gains and losses are included in net income. Foreign currency translation is the process of expressing a foreign entity’s functional currency financial statements in the reporting currency. Translation adjustments are included in the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) account, which is a component of other comprehensive income. Foreign currency accounting continues to be a topic of interest because of increased foreign exchange rate volatility and certain countries with high inflation and multiple exchange rates. The basic foreign exchange guidance, now codified in ASC 830, was first issued back in 1981 as FAS 52. <P> 1 If the functional currency of a company is a foreign currency, the translation adjustments come up by translating the financial statements of the company into the reporting currency. Foreign currency translation is about converting the figures related to accounting stated as per one particular currency to another currency to meet the finance reporting related requirements. <P> Definition. To change the value of one currency into a value of a foreign currency. In order to do this, a company must have information such as the currencies in question and the exchange rates. <P> Foreign Currency Translation. Accounting. Email. Meaning and definition of Foreign Currency Translation. Foreign currency translation is about converting the figures related to accounting stated as per one particular currency to another currency to meet the finance reporting related requirements. <P> DEFINITION of 'Currency Translation'. The process of quoting the amount of money denominated in one currency in the denomination of another currency on a balance sheet. Currency translation is done using current exchange rates. BREAKING DOWN 'Currency Translation'. The currency translation is recorded on the corporate balance sheet as an equity account. Large banks include foreign adjusted currency translation as equity capital. Corporations must report any earnings from foreign subsidiaries in their translations, as well. <P> DEFINITION of 'Cumulative Translation Adjustment-CTA'. An entry in the comprehensive income section of a translated balance sheet summarizing the gains/losses resulting from varying exchange rates over the years. BREAKING DOWN 'Cumulative Translation Adjustment-CTA'. By knowing what a company has earned or lost through its day-to-day business operations, rather than from an accounting practice, investors are better able to make sound financial decisions. <P> A CTA entry is required under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) No.52 rule as a means of helping investors differentiate between actual operating gains/losses and those generated via translation.

how do the parathyroid glands maintain adequate levels of blood calcium | <P> The sole purpose of the parathyroid glands is to control calcium within the blood in a very tight range between 9.0 and 10.1. In doing so, parathyroids also control how much calcium is in the bones, and therefore, how strong and dense the bones are. When the calcium in our blood goes too low, the parathyroid glands make more PTH. Increased PTH causes the body to put more calcium into the blood. Increased PTH causes the bones to release their <P> Confidence votes 4.0K. Parathyroid hormone has effects antagonistic to those of calcitonin. It increases blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoclasts to break down bone and release calcium. It also increases gastrointestinal calcium absorption by activating vitamin D, and promotes calcium uptake by the kidneys. The hormone produced by the para follicular cells of the thyroid gland is calcitonin (CT). CT can decrease the level of calcium in the blood by inhibiting the action of … osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone extracellular matrix. <P> The sole purpose of the parathyroid glands is to control calcium within the blood in a very tight range between 8.5 and 10.5. In doing so, parathyroid glands also control how much calcium is in the bones, and therefore, how strong and dense the bones are. The thyroid gland regulates the body’s metabolism and has no effect on calcium levels while parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels and have no effect on metabolism. Calcium is the primary element which causes muscles to contract. <P> When the calcium level in the blood is too high, the cells of the parathyroids make less parathyroid hormone (or stop making it altogether), thereby, allowing calcium levels to decrease. This feed-back mechanism runs constantly, thereby maintaining calcium (and parathyroid hormone) in a very narrow normal range. The thyroid gland regulates the body’s metabolism and has no effect on calcium levels while parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels and have no effect on metabolism. Calcium is the primary element which causes muscles to contract. <P> The parathyroid glands maintain adequate levels of blood calcium. A) slowing the activity of tissues that require calcium for activity b) targeting the bone and activating osteoclasts so that calcium will be released c) blocking the action of growth hormone d) antagonizing the synthesis of calcitonin. Follow. It increases blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoclasts to break down bone and release calcium. It also increases gastrointestinal calcium absorption by activating vitamin D, and promotes calcium uptake by the kidneys. Answer = b. <P> What is parathyroid hormone? Parathyroid hormone is secreted from the four parathyroid glands, which are small glands in the neck, located behind the thyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium levels in the blood, largely by increasing the levels when they are too low. It does this through its actions on the kidneys, bones and intestine: Bones-Parathyroid hormone stimulates the release of calcium from large calcium stores in the bones into the bloodstream. <P> Parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands and is the most important regulator of calcium levels in the blood and within the bones. Alternative names for parathyroid hormone PTH; parathormone; parathyrin. Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium levels in the blood, largely by increasing the levels when they are too low. It does this through its actions on the kidneys, bones and intestine: Bones-Parathyroid hormone stimulates the release of calcium from large calcium stores in the bones into the bloodstream. <P> The four parathyroid glands make more or less parathyroid hormone (PTH) in response to the level of calcium in the blood. When the calcium in our blood goes too low, the parathyroid glands make more PTH. Increased PTH causes the body to put more calcium into the blood. Increased PTH causes the bones to release their calcium into the blood. When the calcium in our blood goes too high, normal parathyroid glands STOP making PTH--they shut down. Calcium is the most important element for the nervous system, the muscular system, and the skeletal system <P> When the calcium level in the blood is too low, the cells of the parathyroids sense it and make more parathyroid hormone. Once the parathyroid hormone is released into the blood, it circulates to act in a number of places to increase the amount of calcium in the blood (like removing calcium from bones). When the calcium in our blood goes too low, the parathyroid glands make more PTH. Increased PTH causes the body to put more calcium into the blood. Increased PTH causes the bones to release their <P> Best Answer: Parathyroid hormone has effects antagonistic to those of calcitonin.

what does the oximeter measure | <P> 2. Understand the reasons for the procedure. Pulse oximetry is used to assess oxygen saturation in the blood for a variety of reasons. It is often used in surgeries and other procedures that involve sedation (such as a bronchoscopy and to make any adjustments of supplemental oxygen. Part 1 of 2: Preparing to Use a Pulse Oximeter. 1. Understand the relationship between oxygen and the blood. Oxygen is breathed into the lungs. The oxygen then passes into the blood where the majority of the oxygen attaches to hemoglobin. <P> Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method for monitoring a person's O 2 saturation. In its most common (transmissive) application mode, a sensor device is placed on a thin part of the patient's body, usually a fingertip or earlobe, or in the case of an infant, across a foot. Since pulse oximetry only measures the percentage of bound hemoglobin, a falsely high or falsely low reading will occur when hemoglobin binds to something other than oxygen: 1 Hemoglobin has a higher affinity to carbon monoxide than oxygen, and a high reading may occur despite the patient actually being hypoxemic. <P> The oxygen level from a pulse oximeter is reasonably accurate. Most oximeters give a reading 2% over or 2% under what your saturation would be if obtained by an arterial blood gas. For example, if your oxygen saturation reads 92% on the pulse oximeter, it may be actually anywhere from 90 to 94%. The blood oxygen level measured with an oximeter is called your oxygen saturation level (abbreviated O 2 sat or SaO 2). This is a percentage of how much oxygen your blood is carrying compared to the maximum it is capable of carrying. Normally, more than 89% of your red blood should be carrying oxygen. <P> amount of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) that are in your blood. To get an ABG, blood is taken directly out of your artery (usually from the wrist) and can be painful. Oximetry is painless but is not as accurate as an ABG. Also, a pulse oximeter does not measure your carbon dioxide level. The blood oxygen level measured with an oximeter is called your oxygen saturation level (abbreviated O 2 sat or SaO 2). This is a percentage of how much oxygen your blood is carrying compared to the maximum it is capable of carrying. Normally, more than 89% of your red blood should be carrying oxygen. <P> Pulse oximetry is a procedure used to measure the oxygen level (or oxygen saturation) in the blood. It is considered to be a noninvasive, painless, general indicator of oxygen delivery to the peripheral tissues (such as the finger, earlobe, or nose). Pulse oximetry is a quick, noninvasive method of measuring oxygen saturation in the blood. Risks associated with pulse oximetry are minimal and rare. Prolonged application of the probe may cause tissue breakdown at the application site. <P> Pulse oximetry measures solely hemoglobin saturation, not ventilation and is not a complete measure of respiratory sufficiency. It is not a substitute for blood gases checked in a laboratory, because it gives no indication of base deficit, carbon dioxide levels, blood pH, or bicarbonate (HCO 3 −) concentration. Since pulse oximetry only measures the percentage of bound hemoglobin, a falsely high or falsely low reading will occur when hemoglobin binds to something other than oxygen: 1 Hemoglobin has a higher affinity to carbon monoxide than oxygen, and a high reading may occur despite the patient actually being hypoxemic. <P> A pulse oximeter probe applied to a person's finger. A pulse oximeter is a medical device that indirectly monitors the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmogram. Since pulse oximetry only measures the percentage of bound hemoglobin, a falsely high or falsely low reading will occur when hemoglobin binds to something other than oxygen: 1 Hemoglobin has a higher affinity to carbon monoxide than oxygen, and a high reading may occur despite the patient actually being hypoxemic. <P> Pulse oximeters measure how much of the hemoglobin in blood is carrying oxygen (oxygen saturation). If you work in healthcare (or have been patient !) you are very likely to have come across pulse oximeters. You can find them in areas such as operating rooms, recovery, critical care, wards, and ambulances. <P> Pulse oximetry is a simple, cheap, and noninvasive procedure used to measure the level of oxygen (or oxygen saturation) in the blood. Oxygen saturation should always be above 95 percent. However, oxygen saturation may be lower if you have a respiratory disease or congenital heart disease. You can measure the blood's percentage of oxygen saturation using a pulse oximeter, a clip-like sensor device that is placed on a thin part of your body, such as an earlobe or nose.

describe ocean-ocean convergent boundary | <P> Convergent Boundaries. Introduction. Convergent boundaries form when two crustal plates are colliding. The plates form a subduction zone with one plate descending beneath the other plate. One of the converging plates must be an oceanic plate to form a subduction zone. When two continental plates collide mountain ranges like the Himalayas form. Trenches form at subduction zones, USGS. <P> A subduction zone is formed at a convergent plate boundary when one or both of the tectonic plates is composed of oceanic crust. The denser plate, made of oceanic crust, is subducted underneath the less dense plate, which can be either continental or oceanic crust. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries. When two plates move towards one another, they form either a subduction zone or a continental collision. This depends on the nature of the plates involved <P> Oceanic-Oceanic Plate Convergence. This is similar to oceanic-continental convergence in that one of the plates is subducted under the other during the collision. At the subduction zone a very deep trench is formed in the ocean floor. Oceanic and oceanic plate convergence result in the formation of volcano chains. The crust that is pulled under or subducted melts to form magma. This magma rises to the top of the overriding oceanic plates and erupts on the ocean floor. When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate the crust forming the oceanic plate gets bent and pulled under the continental crust. This is because the rocks that form the oceanic crust are denser and thinner than the rocks that form <P> A convergent boundary (or destructive boundary) is where two plates are moving towards each other -- where they're colliding. The pressure and friction is great enough at these boundaries that the material in the Earth's mantle can melt, and both earthquakes and volcanoes happen nearby. The west coast of South America is a convergent boundary between the Nazca plate and the South American plate. The collision of this oceanic and continental plate was how the Andes mountains were formed. Convergent boundaries can also form islands. <P> In a subduction zone, the subducting plate, which is normally a plate with oceanic crust, moves beneath the other plate, which can be made of either oceanic or continental crust. During collisions between two continental plates, large mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas are formed. Oceanic-continental. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries. When two plates move towards one another, they form either a subduction zone or a continental collision. This depends on the nature of the plates involved <P> Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into new crust. Magma formed from melting plates solidifies into granite, a light colored, low-density rock that makes up the continents. Thus at convergent boundaries, continental crust, made of granite, is created, and oceanic crust is destroyed. Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary. Natural or human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are offset—split into pieces and carried in opposite directions. <P> In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries. When two plates move towards one another, they form either a subduction zone or a continental collision. This depends on the nature of the plates involved <P> Convergent boundaries can be of three types: Subduction demonstration. Ocean-Ocean Convergence: If the plates moving toward each other are both made of oceanic crust, one of the plates will move downward, or subduct, under the other plate. This is called a subduction zone. This relative movement of the plates creates varying conditions at the plate edges, or boundaries. Geologists describe three basic types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform <P> When a convergent boundary occurs between two oceanic plates one of those plates will subduct beneath the other. Normally the older plate will subduct because of its higher density. The subducting plate is heated as it is forced deeper into the mantle and at a depth of about 100 miles (150 km) the plate begins to melt. Here the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American plate.

what are marquise diamonds | <P> Marquise diamonds that have a 62% table or less are going to give you the best brilliance. Or another way to put this, is the less the table, flat side, in a marquise diamond is the more sparkle and balance the diamond will deliver. One of biggest advantage to a marquise diamond is the uniqueness it brings. The most popular of the diamond shapes are the round and princess diamond, so owning a marquise diamond will set you apart from the norm. It is also considered to have the best brilliance of the fancy shapes. <P> Featuring an elongated, curved shape and pointed ends, the Marquise cut diamond can often look larger than other shapes of the same carat weight. If you are looking for a diamond cut to stand out, consider the Marquise cut. A fancy shape by most standards, the Marquise cut diamond can be characterised as a boat-shaped brilliant stone. Its unique shape usually demands it is the centre of attention and looks exquisite in a solitaire setting. Usually cut to a 2.00 ratio (twice as long as wide), or approximate range of 1.75 to 2.25, this ratio gives distinct length and elegance, whilst providing a good balance of width that is pleasing to the eye. A Marquise ratio of less than 1.50 may appear short and wide, difficult to tell apart from an oval. <P> Personal preference should dictate how narrow or fat of a marquise diamond you choose, although a length to width ratio of 1.75 -2.15 is considered the classic marquise cut. The only remaining concern would be if the flaws are significant enough to affect the stability of the diamond (this is extremely rare, however). The chart below serves as a general guideline for evaluating the cut of a marquise diamond. <P> Marquise Cut Diamonds. The marquise cut is a very popular diamond cut adopted by high-end jewelry designers to create eye-catching Diamond Jewelry, including drop dangle Earrings and stunning solitaire necklace pendants.

Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are similar in that both involve movement down the concentration gradient. Recall that membranes have two major components: phospholipids arranged in a bilayer, and membrane proteins. Click Here for a more elaborate picture of a cell membrane. One of the functions of membranes is to control what passes into and out of the cell. <P> Split and merge into it. Answer by Mustardflakes. Confidence votes 15. The transport system of the cell between the nucleus and the cytoplam is the endoplasmic rectiulum which is a complex system of membranes in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. <P> Simple definition of a transport system in biology: A transport system is a means by which materials are moved (' transported ') from an exchange surface or exchange surface. to cells* located throughout the organism. * Not all individual cells require all of the many different types of materials carried by a transport system. <P> Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane in the direction against some gradient or other obstructing factor (often a concentration gradient). The difference between passive transport and active transport is active transport requires energy and moves substances against their respective concentration gradient, whereas passive transport requires no energy and moves substances in the direction of their respective concentration gradient. <P> Glucose is one type of molecule that requires a membrane protein to pass through the cell membrane. This process is still considered passive because it doesn’t really require a true energy output, but the protein molecule acts as sort of a check so that transport isn’t as free as it is in simple diffusion. Transport that is “active” is different in that it requires the energy of certain membrane proteins to get across the concentration gradient and either into or out of the cell. <P> Water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are among the few simple molecules that can cross the cell membrane by diffusion (or a type of diffusion known as osmosis). Diffusion is one principle method of movement of substances within cells, as well as the method for essential small molecules to cross the cell membrane. Gas exchange in gills and lungs operates by this process. In the case of active transport, the proteins are having to move against the concentration gradient. For example the sodium-potassium pump in nerve cells. Na+ is maintained at low concentrations inside the cell and K+ is at higher concentrations. | is a means by which materials are moved (' transported ') from an exchange surface or exchange surface. to cells* located throughout the organism.* |
what is a paint coating | <P> The last couple years have been very exciting for Auto Geeks across the board with the introduction of permanent and semi-permanent paint coatings, glass coatings, trim coatings and even wheel coatings. Paint coatings provide far greater protection than a conventional car wax or paint sealant. <P> Spray-on paint coatings are the easiest to apply. DP Paint Coating is one of the more popular paint coatings thanks to its ease of application, excellent durability (up to 2 years!) and extremely high-gloss shine. Best of all, it can be applied by car care enthusiasts of all skill levels. <P> The key to success with any paint, wheel, or glass coating is a properly prepped surface. Start off by claying the vehicle using Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay. This step removes above-surface contaminants including rail dust, paint overspray, industrial fallout, bugs, etc. <P> Modern specifications usually comprise a sequential coating application of paints or alternatively paints applied over metal coatings to form a ‘duplex’ coating system. The protective paint systems usually consist of primer, undercoat(s) and finish coats. <P> The definition of powder coating is the process of applying dry paint to a part. In comparison to normal wet painting such as house paints, the solids are in suspension in a liquid carrier, which must evaporate before the solid paint coating is produced. <P> Powder coating is by far the youngest of the surface finishing techniques in common use today. It was first used in Australia about 1967. Powder coating is the technique of applying dry paint to a part. The final cured coating is the same as a 2-pack wet paint. In normal wet painting such as house paints, the solids are in suspension in a liquid carrier, which must evaporate before the solid paint coating is produced. <P> Advances in scientific technology have allowed Paint Coatings to bond powerfully to the paint's microscopic surface, resulting in semi-permanent protection lasts for years or more. Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 is a permanent paint coating that will last for the life of the paint. <P> The secret to these high-tech paint, glass, trim and wheel coatings lies within advanced chemistry.

I would suppose it's a short stay because if a woman is inconsistent with her BC pills she can get pregnant. Therefore, I assume it could now that you could get pregnant. However, it does differ from couple to couple. However long it take you to get your period. After that you might not have a regular schedule right away but that's the effect of having a regular hormone for so long, not the birth control lurking in your system. Katie · 7 years ago. <P> Depends a lot on a persons individual body and how it takes to the active medication in the bc also depends on how long you were on the birth control. It should stay in your systematleast the 7 days you on your off week. After Nuva Ring is out for seven days, you no longer have protection against pregnancy.

If you have unprotected intercourse after you stop taking the pill, go to your doctor or local clinic and get the morning after pill within 48 hours. Hello. Birth control remains in your system for a total of three months once you stop taking it. However when you miss one pill this does put you at risk of pregnancy. Usually around 3 months. Pills are out of your system pretty much immediately. That is why they say if you skip two pills, you have to use a backup birth control method for a week. Other things like shots, patches, etc. can take a few months. <P> So I was just wondering how long does the birth control pill stay in your system before you can get pregnant? I did some research on the internet and some people say it can stay in your system for 3 months, others say its out of your system within 24 hours after taking your last Pill. So I was just wondering if any Mums or someone with a medical back ground could help me out. Add your answer. | Three months |

The San Andreas Fault is the edges of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. <P> Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another. The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a transform fault. Most transform faults are found in the ocean basin and connect offsets in the mid-ocean ridges. <P> San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is the transform boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate.

different names for sugar ingredients | <P> Less Common Names For Sugar. The HHS list of sugar names is by no means exhaustive. According to the nonprofit Food Label Movement, there are almost 100 different names for sugar and sugar alcohols on ingredient lists. Determining Added Sugar Content. On nutrition facts labels, ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. The relative position of sugar -- by any of its names -- in an ingredients list identifies whether a product contains a lot of sugar or just a small amount. Products that list sugar sources near the top of the ingredient list or have several types of added sugar throughout the list have high added sugar content <P> Check the ingredients list and look for those cheeky names mentioned above just to be sure. This is a good example, it is a low fat fruit flavored yoghurt: The label says there are 19 grams of sugar per serving size of 170 grams. First we check the ingredients and see the cheeky name for sugar ‘evaporated cane juice’ plus ‘fruit concentrate’. So 19 grams divided by 4 (4 grams per teaspoon) is over 4 teaspoons, closer to 5, so lets say 5 teaspoons of sugar. <P> The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires food producers to list all ingredients in their foods. But added sugar comes in many forms – which is why it's so hard to find on the ingredients label. There are at least 61 different names for sugar listed on food labels. These include common names, such as sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup, as well as barley malt, dextrose, maltose and rice syrup, among others. With as many as 11 teaspoons (46.2 grams) of added sugar in some 12-oz. sodas, a single serving exceeds the AHA recommendation for men and is about twice the allowance for women and children. But sugar isn't only in beverages and sweet baked goods. <P> Sugar and Other Names for Sugar. sugar. Though some sugar can be part of a healthful diabetes meal plan, you should be aware that the total amount of carbohydrate you eat most affects blood glucose, not the type or source of carbohydrate. <P> The most common names for sugar are: barley malt, corn syrup, dextrose, fruit juice concentrate, glucose, high-fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, maltose, molasses, raw sugar, sucrose and turbinado sugar. Here’s a more complete sugar list with 69 sugar names. This list of sugar facts and sugar names will help you uncover the many hidden sugars that are tucked away everywhere in our food today. Food and beverage manufacturers in cahoots with the sugar industry consistently look for new sugar names to add to their long sugar list. <P> But you’ll need a thesaurus to even begin to recognize all the different names sugar can hide under on food labels. A good rule of thumb is to look for words that end in-ose, and anything that sounds like sugar (syrup, molasses, cane juice) almost certainly is. The AHA’s suggested added sugar threshold is no more than 100 calories per day (about 6 teaspoons or 24 grams of sugar) for most women and no more than 150 calories per day (about 9 teaspoons or 36 grams of sugar) for most men. But remember—your body doesn’t need to get any carbohydrate from added sugar. <P> Sugars ending in-ose include: Sucrose, Maltose, Dextrose, Fructose, Glucose, Galactose, Lactose, High fructose corn syrup, Glucose solids. Just because it doesn't end in-ose, however, doesn't mean it isn't sugar. There are plenty of other names as well that may or may not sound like sugar. Two really good ways to disguise sugar on food labels is to use a long, scientific sounding word or to rename the sugar altogether. One of the easiest ways to recognize sugar on a food label is by recognizing the-ose suffix. When you find words that end in-ose, there's a good chance it is sugar. <P> Sugar goes by many names on packaged food ingredient lists. Nutrition labels on packaged foods in the United States are required to list the total grams of sugar per serving, in addition to providing a list of all ingredients the product contains. But when it comes to ingredient lists, sugar isn't the only name sugar goes by. Determining Added Sugar Content. On nutrition facts labels, ingredients are listed in descending order by weight.

electric industry restructuring what is it | <P> Economic Effects of Restructuring Because those states that have restructured their electric utility industry have done so in different ways and with different results, a succinct summary of every economic effect of restructuring is impossible. For brevity’s sake, the following section will focus on Massachusetts. Therefore it is easy to see that the change in prices of these natural resources have a major impact on rates in the electric industry. Renewable Resources The Electric Utility Restructuring Act did not only focus on lowering costs for the consumer but also tried to clean up the industry. <P> The New York Blackout of 1965 and the Creation of NERC The New York blackout of 1965 was a wake-up call to the power industry. The industry responded to the blackout by creating a voluntary, utility-managed reliability organization, the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC). The amount of reserves is set through industry standards, & are reviewed & approved by regulators. Typical reserve margins are in the 15% to 20% range, usually based upon the need to have power available if two of the utilities’ largest plants are out of service at the same time during peak demand. <P> While it is too soon to determine the success or failure of these efforts, a definite increase in enrollment was noted in 2006. 65 Equity of effects Without question, large consumers of electricity have benefited the most from the restructuring of the Massachusetts electric utility industry. Therefore it is easy to see that the change in prices of these natural resources have a major impact on rates in the electric industry. Renewable Resources The Electric Utility Restructuring Act did not only focus on lowering costs for the consumer but also tried to clean up the industry. <P> Clearly, large consumers of electricity have benefited from the restructuring of the electric utility industry. Residential consumers, on the other hand, are much harder to gauge. What is known is that only approximately 2% of residential customers have taken advantage of their new choices. Therefore it is easy to see that the change in prices of these natural resources have a major impact on rates in the electric industry. Renewable Resources The Electric Utility Restructuring Act did not only focus on lowering costs for the consumer but also tried to clean up the industry. <P> Abstract The primary focus of this report is to evaluate the restructuring of the electric utility industry here in Massachusetts. Specifically, we wish to know if, on the whole, Massachusetts electric consumers have benefited from the restructuring. Therefore it is easy to see that the change in prices of these natural resources have a major impact on rates in the electric industry. Renewable Resources The Electric Utility Restructuring Act did not only focus on lowering costs for the consumer but also tried to clean up the industry. <P> Electric Industry Restructuring in the 1990’s By the early 1990s it was becoming apparent that electric industry regulatory approaches were not working. IRP was successful in holding rate increases in check & stimulating consumer choice, but the process was highly adversarial, time consuming, & expensive. The amount of reserves is set through industry standards, & are reviewed & approved by regulators. Typical reserve margins are in the 15% to 20% range, usually based upon the need to have power available if two of the utilities’ largest plants are out of service at the same time during peak demand. <P> By Charles Bensinger. Simply put, electric utility restructuring is the process of establishing the ground rules for how electricity will be generated, bought, and sold for the next 20 to 50 years. Because the industry is so large, restructuring the power industry, in effect, amounts to restructuring the entire economy. Those assets or financial or contractual agreements belonging to a utility that are deemed nonrecoverable at present market prices are called stranded costs.. The total cost of these uneconomic investments is estimated at $200 billion-$300 billion nationwide. <P> Electric power is transmitted on overhead lines like these, and also on underground high voltage cables. The electric power industry is the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric power to the general public. The electrical industry started with introduction of electric lighting in 1882. The electric power industry is commonly split up into four processes. These are electricity generation such as a power station, electric power transmission, electricity distribution and electricity retailing. <P> Electric utility industry restructuring and the introduction of competitive markets in the U.S. have been proceeded by deregulation and restructuring of the electric industries of other nations. Restructuring of the industry has occurred in Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom (U.K.). While the experiences in the U.K. are particularly instructive for the U.S. because of the import of concepts, significant electric industry restructuring is occurring in many other countries on several continents. In all nations, electric industry restructuring is still a work-in-progress. | Electric utility restructuring is the process of establishing the ground rules for how electricity will be generated, bought, and sold for the next 20 to 50 years. |
what is a fishy smell on humans | <P> Trimethylaminuria (TMAU), also known as fish odor syndrome or fish malodor syndrome, is a rare metabolic disorder where Trimethylamine is released in the person's sweat, urine, and breath, giving off a strong fishy odor or strong body odor. Body odor is generally considered to be an unpleasant odor among many human cultures. <P> The trimethylamine is released in the person's sweat, urine, reproductive fluids, and breath, giving off a strong fishy or body odor. Some people with trimethylaminuria have a strong odor all the time, but most have a moderate smell that varies in intensity over time. Although FMO3 mutations account for most known cases of trimethylaminuria, some cases are caused by other factors. A fish-like body odor could result from an excess of certain proteins in the diet or from an increase in bacteria in the digestive system. <P> Trimethylaminuria is a disorder in which the body is unable to break down trimethylamine, a chemical compound that has a pungent odor. Trimethylamine has been described as smelling like rotting fish, rotting eggs, garbage, or urine. As this compound builds up in the body, it causes affected people to give off a strong odor in their sweat, urine, and breath. The intensity of the odor may vary over time. <P> 1 Fish odor syndrome (trimethylaminuria) is a genetic disease; symptoms are often present from birth. 2 Fish odor syndrome is characterized by an offensive body odor and the smell of rotting fish due to the excessive excretion of trimethylaminuria (TMA) in the urine, sweat, and breath of affected individuals. 1 Diagnostic tests that help differentiate fish odor syndrome (trimethylaminuria) from other causes of body odor are available at specialized laboratories. <P> Body odor (BO), also spelled body odour, is present in animals (including humans), and its intensity can be influenced by many factors (behavioral patterns, survival strategies). Body odor is generally considered to be an unpleasant odor among many human cultures. <P> 1 Fish odor syndrome is characterized by an offensive body odor and the smell of rotting fish due to the excessive excretion of trimethylaminuria (TMA) in the urine, sweat, and breath of affected individuals. 1 Diagnostic tests that help differentiate fish odor syndrome (trimethylaminuria) from other causes of body odor are available at specialized laboratories. <P> Trimethylaminuria (TMAU), as defined by the KIM consortium of endocrinology disorders as fish odor syndrome or fish malodor syndrome, is a rare metabolic disorder that causes a defect in the normal production of the enzyme flavin containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3).

The ownership or right to use computer programs that control the functioning of computer hardware and other devices. Computer software comprises both operating systems and applications programs. Computer software is the most common type of intangible asset that is internally generated. Computer software is considered internally generated if it is developed in-house or by a third party contractor of the institution’s behalf. 7.11.1 Intangible Assets Definition. An intangible asset is an asset that is acquired through purchase, license, and donation, or is internally generated and possesses all of the following characteristics: 1 Lack of physical substance. 2 Nonfinancial nature. <P> A: In accounting terms, an intangible asset is something of value that is not of physical nature. On the other hand, property, plant and equipment (PPE) are just as the name suggests. PPE refers to physical long-term assets, such equipment that is vital to a company's operations and has a definite physical component. If the two preceding conditions are not met, then the software, whether purchased or created internally would be considered an intangible asset. The basic nature of the business and the stage of software development also play a significant role in the classification decision. <P> In an IT asset management system, one key reason for managing the software licenses, is to reduce illegal software usage and, as a result, the risk to the organization of non-compliance with the terms of the license.

differences between a gene and dna | <P> Report Abuse. The difference between a gene, a chromosome and DNA is that DNA is the nucleic acid contained within chromosomes located in the nucleus of cells. In addition, genes are located on cells and they control the production of proteins. Source(s): I am taking AP biology and Anatomy/Physiology Honors. Think of it this way: DNA is in genes, genes are on chromosomes. When mapping all genes on all human chromosomes was first seriously conceived, it was called the Human Genome Project-a combination of gene and chromosome. <P> DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. This is the chain of ‘links’ that determines how the different cells in your body will function. Each of these links is called a nucleotide. DNA basically contains two copies of 23 chromosomes each, one from the mother and one from the father of the person. Only some of these complex cells carry the ‘genetic information for your genes. These are the parts that decide what you basically inherit from your parents <P> Diffen › Science › Biology › Molecular Biology. A gene is a stretch of DNA or RNA that determines a certain trait. Genes mutate and can take two or more alternative forms; an allele is one of these forms of a gene. For example, the gene for eye color has several variations (alleles) such as an allele for blue eye color or an allele for brown eyes. <P> Genes contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is the chemical basis of heredity. Think of it this way: DNA is in genes, genes are on chromosomes. When mapping all genes on all human chromosomes was first seriously conceived, it was called the Human Genome Project-a combination of gene and chromosome. <P> A gene is a stretch of DNA on a chromosome that has the instructions for making a protein. Each chromosome has many genes with humans having over 22,000 genes in all. A gene's instructions for a protein are written in the three letter code I referred to before. DNA is the chemical that chromosomes and genes are made of. DNA itself is made up of four simple chemical units that are abbreviated as A, G, C, and T. These letters are used to form three letter words that cells can read. A chromosome is simply a very long piece of DNA that cells can easily copy. <P> Number of genes depends on the DNA number in a particular cell and the numbers vary widely among organisms. Therefore, a gene or set of genes determines the differences between individuals within a species as well as differences between species. Human genome consists of over 20,000 genes, and certain genes of humans are also found in other animals and even in certain plants. Gene vs DNA. The terms “DNA” and ‘gene’ are related, but they are not the same. There are some certain differences between these two terms but both are used in genetics very often. Both genes and DNA are considered as the genetic materials of many organisms and contain heredity information in almost all the organisms on Earth | Genes contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

Grain based vodkas generally do not require as much distillation as vegetable based vodkas as grain produces less impurities during the fermentation proces <P> Vodka. Vodka is an alcoholic beverage distilled at a high proof from a fermented vegetable or grain mash. Proof is a measurement of the alcohol content. Each degree of proof equals a half percent of alcohol. Thus, 100 proof is that which contains 50% alcohol, 90 proof contains 45%, and so on. Because distilled vodka can have a proof as high as 145, all taste and odor has been eliminated, making vodka a neutral spirit. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Vodka is made from potatoes, corn, wheat, or rye. Different brands make it different. Got this off a celiac site, copied and pasted. ALL Smirnoff vodka (except the malt drink Smirnoff Ice) is gluten-free. The grain it's made from is corn. In reality, ALL distilling alcohol is gluten-free unless gluten is added after the distilling. Distliing takes out the harmful proteins. <P> (Fermentation means feeding sugar to yeast, so that the yeast can produce alcohol.) Today, most vodka is made from fermented grains such as sorghum, corn, rice, rye or wheat, though you can also use potatoes, fruits or even just sugar. Upping that number requires distillation, or heating in a container called a still. Because alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water, you can collect the evaporated alcohol, separating it from the water. Most vodka is 30 to 40 percent ABV. | Smirnoff vodka (except the malt drink Smirnoff Ice) is gluten-free. The grain it's made from is corn. |

As the world's highest mountain, climbing to the top of Mount Everest has been a goal of many mountain climbers for many decades. Mount Everest is located on the border of Nepal and Tibet, China. 1999 Elevation of Mount Everest. In 1999, climbers using GPS (Global Positioning System) equipment determined a new height for Mount Everest - 29,035 feet above sea level, seven feet (2.1 meters) above the previously accepted height of 29,028 feet. <P> Mount Everest, also known in Nepal as Sagarmāthā and in Tibet as Chomolungma, is Earth 's highest mountain. It is located in the Mahalangur mountain range in Nepal. Its peak is 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level. It is not the furthest summit from the centre of the Earth. That honour goes to Mount Chimborazo, in the Andes. The international border between China and Nepal runs across Everest's precise summit point. Its massif includes neighbouring peaks Lhotse, 8,516 m (27,940 ft); Nuptse, 7,855 m (25,771 ft) and Changtse, 7,580 m (24,870 ft). | 5 and a half miles |
what is viral thyroiditis | <P> 1 Hashimoto's thyroiditis. 2 Caused by antibodies that attack the thyroid. 3 Shows symptoms of hypothyroidism. 4 Results in permanent hypothyroidism, which can be treated. 5 Subacute thyroiditis (also called de Quervain's thyroiditis). 6 Possibly caused by a viral infection. 1 Possibly caused by a viral infection. 2 Causes pain in the thyroid and symptoms of hyperthyroidism, followed by hypothyroidism. 3 Symptoms improve within a few months. 4 There is a slight chance of permanent hypothyroidism, which can be treated. <P> Thyroiditis is a general term that refers to “inflammation of the thyroid gland”. Thyroiditis includes a group of individual disorders causing thyroidal inflammation but presenting in different ways. For example, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. Thyroiditis can also be caused by an infection, such as a virus or bacteria, which works in the same way as antibodies to cause inflammation in the gland. Finally, drugs such as interferon and amiodarone, can also damage thyroid cells and cause thyroiditi <P> Acute infectious thyroiditis (AIT) also known as suppurative thyroiditis, microbial inflammatory thyroiditis, pyrogenic thyroiditis and bacterial thyroiditis. The thyroid is normally very resistant to infection. <P> Thyroiditis refers to several disorders that cause an inflammation of the thyroid, a gland located in the front of your neck below your Adam's apple. 1 Possibly caused by a viral infection. 2 Causes pain in the thyroid and symptoms of hyperthyroidism, followed by hypothyroidism. 3 Symptoms improve within a few months. 4 There is a slight chance of permanent hypothyroidism, which can be treated. <P> 1 Subacute thyroiditis (also called de Quervain's thyroiditis). 2 Possibly caused by a viral infection. 3 Causes pain in the thyroid and symptoms of hyperthyroidism, followed by hypothyroidism. 4 Symptoms improve within a few months. 5 There is a slight chance of permanent hypothyroidism, which can be treated. 1 Possibly caused by a viral infection. 2 Causes pain in the thyroid and symptoms of hyperthyroidism, followed by hypothyroidism. 3 Symptoms improve within a few months. 4 There is a slight chance of permanent hypothyroidism, which can be treated. <P> Thyroiditis is caused by an attack on the thyroid, causing inflammation and damage to the thyroid cells. Antibodies that attack the thyroid cause most types of thyroiditis. As such, thyroiditis is often an autoimmune disease, like juvenile diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Thyroiditis can also be caused by an infection, such as a virus or bacteria, which works in the same way as antibodies to cause inflammation in the gland. Finally, drugs such as interferon and amiodarone, can also damage thyroid cells and cause thyroid <P> Thyroiditis refers to an inflamed thyroid. Your thyroid is a gland in the front of your neck that controls your metabolism by releasing a variety of hormones. Most types of thyroiditis do not cause pain in the thyroid gland. Subacute thyroiditis generally occurs after an upper respiratory viral infection such as the flu or the mumps. The mumps is a highly contagious viral infection that causes inflamed salivary glands. Subacute thyroiditis is very rare. <P> Thyroiditis is an inflammation (not an infection) of the thyroid gland. Several types of thyroiditis exist, and the treatment is different for each. 1 Treatment should begin with thyroid hormone replacement. 2 This prevents or corrects the hypothyroidism, and it also generally keeps the gland from getting larger. 3 In most cases, the thyroid gland will decrease in size once thyroid hormone replacement is started. | Thyroiditis refers to several disorders that cause an inflammation of the thyroid, a gland located in the front of your neck. |
what are grey owls called | <P> The great gray owl is one of the largest owl species in the world. Jim Richmond. Owls are some of the most fascinating and mysterious raptors in the world. While many people know a little bit about these birds of prey, some facts about owls can surprise even the most experienced birders. <P> The great grey owl or great gray owl (Strix nebulosa) is a very large owl, documented as the world's largest species of owl by length. It is distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. In some areas it is also called Phantom of the North, cinereous owl, spectral owl, Lapland owl, spruce owl, bearded owl, and sooty owl. The underparts are light with dark streaks; the upper parts are grey with pale bars. This owl does not have ear tufts and has the largest facial disc of any raptor. In terms of length, the great grey owl is believed to exceed the Eurasian eagle-owl and the Blakiston's fish owl as the world's largest owl. <P> 1 See More Shades: View different shades of your selected color. 2 View Similar Colors: See colors resembling the one you've chosen. 3 Share: Share colors with your friends on social networks. 4 Send: E-mail your color to others. 5 Print: Print your color. 6 Add to Favorites: Add your color to your Favorites folder. 1 More Color Combos: Get more color combinations for your color. 2 See More Shades: View different shades of your selected color. 3 View Similar Colors: See colors resembling the one you've chosen. 4 Share: Share colors with your friends on social networks. 5 Send: E-mail your color to others. 6 <P> Grey Owl (or Wa-sha-quon-asin, from the Ojibwe wenjiganooshiinh, meaning great horned owl or great grey owl ) was the name Archibald Belaney (September 18, 1888 – April 13, 1938) chose for himself when he took on a First Nations identity as an adult.

Owl stomach juices can't dissolve bones, fur, feathers, or teeth. If these parts got into the intestines and splintered, the owl could die. So all these parts get stuck in a chamber of the owl's stomach called the gizzard. But the Great Gray Owl, which is larger than the Great Horned or Snowy Owl, weighs only 2-3 pounds. A starving Great Gray Owl was recovered that weighed only ¾ pound. Owl necks are longer and skinnier than they look. <P> The term phantom of the north refers to the fact that great gray owls, like other owls, are silent in flight. In contrast on a quiet winter day I can hear the wing beats of a Raven as it flies bye me. Owl feathers are different and have built in sound damping features. Great gray owls are often easier to spot in the trees in winter and spring time. It is estimated their are about 10,000 to 50,000 great gray owls in North America, but no one knows for sure how many birds there are. The greatest threat to the owl is deforestation. <P> To the Native People, this movie is about what some call a would-a-be or White Indian; although the Ojibway people, whom Gray Owl's life turns o not use the word Indian but Anishnabe which means a good person. Gray Owl as an white and wanting to live the native way, is called a White Indian. This movie shows him living on and around Bear Island, in Northern Ontario. Gray Owl, shows us his view of their life through his eyes and explain how the northern Canadian native; has been changed by civilization. This film is a wonderful movie based on the life of a man called Grey Owl in 1930s Canada. I found it to be similarly riveting and heartfelt as 'Rudy' and 'Awakenings'. It picks up late in Grey Owl's life and follows him through his most tumultuous and influential period. | Phantom of the North, cinereous owl, spectral owl, Lapland owl, spruce owl, bearded owl, and sooty owl.he underparts are light with dark streaks; the upper parts are grey with pale bars. |

low blood sugar symptoms | <P> Low Blood Sugar Symptoms. A low blood sugar, also called hypoglycemia or an insulin reaction, is defined as a blood glucose level below 60 to 70 mg/dl. It is usually companied by one or more of the symptoms described below. Low blood sugars or insulin reactions can occur whenever insulin is used. <P> Hypoglycemia, also called low blood glucose or low blood sugar, occurs when blood glucose drops below normal levels. Glucose, an important source of energy for the body, comes from food. Carbohydrates are the main dietary source of glucose. <P> Hypoglycemia may also be referred to as an insulin reaction, or insulin shock. Hypoglycemic symptoms are important clues that you have low blood glucose. Each person's reaction to hypoglycemia is different, so it's important that you learn your own signs and symptoms when your blood glucose is low. <P> Hypoglycemia. Also called low blood glucose, a condition that occurs when one's blood glucose is lower than normal, usually below 70 mg/dL. Signs include hunger, nervousness, shakiness, perspiration, dizziness or light-headedness, sleepiness, and confusion. <P> The glucose level that defines hypoglycemia is variable. In people with diabetes levels below 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) is diagnostic. In adults without diabetes, symptoms related to low blood sugar, low blood sugar at the time of symptoms, and improvement when blood sugar is restored to normal confirm the diagnosis. <P> Low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, can be a dangerous condition. Low blood sugar can happen in people with diabetes who take medicines that increase insulin levels in the body. Taking too much medication, skipping meals, eating less than normal, or exercising more than usual can lead to low blood sugar. <P> Other people may start to have symptoms of hypoglycemia when their blood glucose levels are higher than 70 mg/dl. This can happen when your blood glucose levels are very high and start to go down quickly. If this is happening, discuss treatment with your health care provider. <P> If you have hypoglycemic unawareness, a condition in which you do not know your blood sugar level is dropping, your blood sugar can drop so quickly you may not even have warning symptoms. When this occurs, you can faint, experience a seizure, or even go into a coma. Very low blood sugar is a medical emergency. | Low blood sugars or insulin reactions can occur whenever insulin is used. |

Valentin Popov. <P> Intercostal muscles are several groups of muscles that run between the ribs, and help form and move the chest wall. The intercostal muscles are mainly involved in the mechanical aspect of breathing. These muscles help expand and shrink the size of the chest cavity to facilitate breathing. 1 External intercostal muscles aid in quiet and forced inhalation. 2 They originate on ribs 1-11 and have their insertion on ribs 2-12. 3 The external intercostals are responsible for the elevation of the ribs and bending them more open, thus expanding the transverse dimensions of the thoracic cavity. <P> The intercostal muscles lie between the ribs. When you exhale, these muscles contract, and in conjunction with the abdominal muscles, the lungs contract and air is forced up v … ia a positive pressure gradient. 8 people found this useful.

The intercostal muscles expand duri … ng inhalation and contract during exhalation in response to the movement of the lungs by the diaphragm. Valentin Popov. <P> The intercostal muscles consists of several groups of muscles ((internal and external intercostals and subcostal and transverse thoracic muscles) which are located between the ribs and function to move and stabilise the chest wall. <P> Intercostal muscles are muscle groups that are situated in between the ribs that create and move the chest wall. The muscles are broken down into three layers, and are primarily used to assist with the breathing process. The external intercostal muscles are responsible for forced and quiet inhalation. They raise the ribs and expand the chest cavity, and originate from ribs one through 11, with insertion from ribs two to 12. The internal intercostal muscles are responsible for forced exhalation. <P> Best Answer: The diaphram and the intercostal muscles are NOT the same thing, although they do both have to do with breathing. The diaphram is the main muscle we use to breath, and does 99% of the work of breathing in a healthy, normal individual. It is located across the bottom of the rib cage. When it contracts, it creates a negative pressure in the upper chest cavity, which expands the lungs, drawing air in. When the diaphram relaxes, you exhale normally. There are two kinds of intercostal muscles; external and internal. Both are accessory muscles. <P> Intercostal Strain. In the spine there is an intercostal muscle group consisting of the internal and external intercostals, and the subcostal and transverse thoracic muscles, located between the ribs in the thoracic cavity. These muscles can become strained due to rapid movements that bend or twist the upper body suddenly. As a result the incidence of muscle injury to the thoracic spine is lower, however it is still possible to experience strain of the intercostal muscles. The muscular system of the spine is large and complex, including the deep erector spinae or paraspinal muscle groups that run parallel to the spine. <P> Report Abuse. respiration holds the relationship During inhalation:The diaphragm becomes flat,the intercostal muscles move upwards and outwards,the lungs is inflamed and pressure decreases,as a result air rushes in to equalize the pressure.

how do fungi eat | <P> Animals [edit]. Many mammals eat fungi, but only a few feed exclusively on fungi, most are opportunistic feeders and fungi only make up part of their diet. At least 22 species of primate, including humans, bonobos, colobines, gorillas, lemurs, macaques, mangabeys, marmosets and vervet monkeys are known to feed on fungi. <P> Fungi feed on nutrients from dead and decaying plants and animals, since they do not have chlorophyll and cannot manufacture their own food. Other types of fungi live as paras … ites on other organisms, which can be found both on land and water. Fungi are decomposers so they often participate in breaking down dead plants and animals for food. The decay process for almost any kind of previously living organism can involve some type of fungi as one of the decomposers. <P> Unlike plants, which make their own food, Fungi are like miniature versions of our stomachs, turned inside-out. Fungi 'eat' by releasing enzymes outside of their bodies that break down nutrients into smaller pieces that they can then absorb. This feeding strategy means that Fungi always live in and on their food. The lower case 'fungi' is a general word that refers to organisms that all look and act the same, but are not all related. This group is artificial and includes moulds, yeasts, mushrooms, slime moulds, and water moulds (like Phytophthora, the cause of the Irish potato famine and Sudden Oak Death). <P> Fungi absorb nutrients from plant or animal matter around them, which may be living or dead. They produce long, slender threads called hyphae that spread through their food. The hyphae release enzymes that break down the food into substances that the fungi can easily absorb. <P> Fungi are decomposers so they often participate in breaking down dead plants and animals for food. The decay process for almost any kind of previously living organism can inv … olve some type of fungi as one of the decomposers. In that sense, fungi can eat almost anything that was living (and some that still are). They absorb all of their nutrients (mineral and organic) from soil or organic sources. They produce nothing from sunlight and do not employ photosynthesis. Fungi can also be symbionts with living plants and animals, as well as being parasites. + 44 others found this useful. <P> Fungi absorb nutrients from living or dead organic matter (plant or animal stuff) that they grow on. They absorb simple, easily dissolved nutrients, such as sugars, through their cell walls. <P> Fungi are also important in the recycling of organic material and nutrients. Without fungi breaking down dead plant and animal matter, carbon and other molecules essential to life would be locked in organic molecules that are too large for plants to absorb. <P> The answer is fungi do not have to find their food. In order to eat, the spores that give rise to fungi must be dispersed to a location where there is food and after the spore germinates, the mycelium of the fungus must grow into its food. Another words, usually fungi must live in their food if they are to eat. This means that they can only eat certain materials. For example, a fungus that is usually found in your stored food, probably will not be able to eat wood because it does not have the enzymes that is needed to break down or rot the wood. Some fungi have a very broad range of enzymes. <P> Fungi feed on nutrients from dead and decaying plants and animals, since they do not have chlorophyll and cannot manufacture their own food. Other types of fungi live as paras … ites on other organisms, which can be found both on land and water. They absorb all of their nutrients (mineral and organic) from soil or organic sources.

who was radio invented | <P> Twenty years after the telephone was invented and music was first sent down a telephone line, Guglielmo Marconi sent radio signals. Marconi (1874-1937) was born in Italy and studied at the University of Bologna. Marconi’s first radio transmissions, in 1896, were coded signals that were transmitted only about a mile (1,6 km) far. Marconi realized that it held huge potential. He offered the invention to the Italian government but they turned it down. He moved to England, took out a patent, and experimented further <P> Where the Radio was InventedThe first radio transmission took place in Italy and was credited to Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor. However, numerous discoveries by other … people, such as Armstrong, Hertz, and Tesla lead up to the actual invention of radio. Guglielmo Marconi invented the first functioning transmitting/receiving radio in about 1895, somewhere in Britain. The first factory producing radios was in Chelmsford, UK in 1898, by Marconi's The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company <P> While all of this was taking place, in 1896 an Indian inventor by the name of JC Bose was said to have transmitted radio signals over a distance of 3 miles with his radio. Unlike Tesla and Marconi, Bose did not apply for a patent for his invention until 1901, and was awarded a patent in 1904. There has been much debate through the year as to when was the radio invented and who actually created the first radio. There are several men who claimed to have discovered and created a radio that could transmit signals all around the same time, and all in different locations. <P> In 1943, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Marconi's patent for his radio and reinstated Tesla's patent, giving Tesla credit for being the first to invent the radio in 1892, although Tesla never actually created a working radio. There has been much debate through the year as to when was the radio invented and who actually created the first radio. There are several men who claimed to have discovered and created a radio that could transmit signals all around the same time, and all in different locations. <P> In 1855 provided the first demonstration of wireless communication, and then in 1895 Guglielmo Marconi sent the first radio signal. Radio developed from wireless telegraphy towards the end of the 19th century. However, numerous discoveries by other … people, such as Armstrong, Hertz, and Tesla lead up to the actual invention of radio. Guglielmo Marconi invented the first functioning transmitting/receiving radio in about 1895, somewhere in Britain. <P> Marconi went on to introduce short wave transmission in 1922. Marconi was not the first to invent the radio, however. Four years before Marconi started experimenting with wireless telegraph, Nikola Tesla, a Serb who moved to the USA in 1884, invented the theoretical model for radio. Marconi’s first radio transmissions, in 1896, were coded signals that were transmitted only about a mile (1,6 km) far. Marconi realized that it held huge potential. He offered the invention to the Italian government but they turned it down. He moved to England, took out a patent, and experimented further <P> The invention of the radio was a great achievement in terms of communication between two positions. The inventors of the telephone and telegraph had already introduced the technology of wire-to-wire communication. The discovery of radio waves actually provided the platform for the invention of the radio. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that can carry information in the form of pictures, sound and other details. <P> Around the turn of the 20th century Guglielmo Marconi, developed the first apparatus for long distance radio communication. Reginald A. Fessenden became the first to send audio (wireless telephony) by means of electromagnetic waves in 1907. By 1910 these systems had come to be referred to by the common name radio. Marconi's demonstrations of the use of radio for wireless communications, equipping ships with life saving wireless communications, establishing the first transatlantic radio service, and building the first stations for the British shortwave service, have marked his place in history. <P> The story of the radio invention is very interesting. It all began in 1878, when David E. Hughes discovered that he could actually hear sparks in a receiver of the telephone. He discovered this while he was working on his experiment with a microphone. After more work on this, he managed to detect very distant signals. When was the radio invented and by whom? We use this word on daily basis; everyone knows what the radio is and what it is used for. What do we actually know about the radio history and invention? Radio can be defined as a device that transmits signals, using electromagnetic waves. | Nikola Tesla invented the theoritical model of the radio while Guglielmo Marconi sent the first radio signals. |
how much does it cost to advertise on radio beat | <P> Number Of People Listening x Cost To Reach 1,000 listeners (CPM) = Cost of Advertising Per Spot. Number Of people listening in my opinion is best measured by Average Quarterly Hour Person (AQH Persons). The radio station can provide this data from Arbitron for the daypart you’re interested in. In today’s article we are going to continue that series with a look at radio advertising. 1 You can reach most people using radio as a medium. 2 You can reach people when they are driving to do shopping. 3 You can target your advertising very effectively. <P> There is a lot of confusion out there about just how much radio advertising costs. With a little knowledge and understanding of how radio works, we can answer this question. Because bottom line… Just like the cost of a 5 star hotel room at the four seasons differs from “Moe’s motel and eat”. from $500 to $1500 per week/per station for a top performing station. You likely still have some questions about radio advertising, and that’s normal. It can be confusing, I know. That’s why I am here. <P> Expect to be spending £1,500 a week on a larger local or a regional station. Radio is possibly one of the most cost-effective methods of advertising when you compare cost per thousand. Generally, radio stations charge you per thousand listeners at one time-and a good rough price for this is £2 per thousand people. Bigger stations cost more. There are two costs you'll incur when you advertise on the radio. The first is airtime--the time unit(s) your commercials are on air, typically broken down into 30-second, 60-second or 120-second segments (or spots), depending on the station. <P> The cost for advertising on the radio is done on a per-spot basis. You will be charged every time your ad runs. So, if you want your ad to run 5 times per day for 5 days you will have a total of 25 ads. If you have an single price ad rate of $10 per ad you will be charged a total of $250 dollars for the 25 ads (and you thought high school word problems were never used in real life)! The most affordable times of day to advertise on the radio is in the overnight. Rates will typically drop starting around 8 pm. Sometimes you will hear radio sales people talk about their “available” spot rates. <P> The cost for radio advertising is normally done on a per-spot basis. You will be charged every time your ad runs. So, if you want your ad to run 5 times per day for 7 days you will have a total of 35 ads. If you have an single price ad rate of $100 per ad you will be charged a total of $3500 for the 35 ads. <P> In today’s article we are going to continue that series with a look at radio advertising. 1 You can reach most people using radio as a medium. 2 To be precise, around 77% of adults tune in to an advertising supported AM/FM station. 3 The average listener, spends almost 2 hours (109) minutes per day listening to AM /FM radio. In today’s article we are going to continue that series with a look at radio advertising. 1 You can reach most people using radio as a medium. 2 You can reach people when they are driving to do shopping. 3 You can target your advertising very effectively. <P> I know it varies greatly based on how big the DMA is, but if I am a new advertiser and want to run a 30 second radio ad on 1 station, how much is that going to cost me? I assume it's at least $5000 or $10,000 but I really don't know. Example-One 30 spot on a drive time show with 1.8 million listeners will set you back anything between $700 - $1500. The production of the ad will include : a) composition of the music/jingle $1500. <P> Unfortunately, the average cost per spot is not a great way to measure radio advertising costs. Depending on the time of day, the number of people listening to a spot may vary greatly. A spot that airs at 1:00 AM may have less than 1/10th the listeners of a spot that airs at 1:00 PM. By including “garbage” spots, a radio station can make the cost per spot sound very cheap. <P> Traditionally, radio spots are sold and priced based on 60 second commercial spots. However, you can buy 30 second or even 10 second spots (called billboards). Unlike television, a 30 second commercial doesn’t necessarily cost half as much as a 60 second commercial. In today’s article we are going to continue that series with a look at radio advertising. 1 You can reach most people using radio as a medium. 2 You can reach people when they are driving to do shopping. 3 You can target your advertising very effectively. <P> The short answer is – it depends. One of the great things about radio advertising is that there are options available for every budget and in some cases you can advertise without any money available at all. Prices for radio advertising can differ based on the time of day you would like your ad to run. The most affordable times of day to advertise on the radio is in the overnight. Rates will typically drop starting around 8 pm. Sometimes you will hear radio sales people talk about their “available” spot rates. | The cost for radio advertising is normally done on a per-spot basis. You will be charged every time your ad runs.

what is immediacy in literature | <P> Full Definition of IMMEDIACY. 1. : the quality or state of being immediate. 2. : something that is immediate —usually used in plural. See immediacy defined for English-language learners. <P> Definition of immediacy: Immediacy is the ability of the counsellor/helper to use the immediate situation to invite the client to look at what is going on between them in the relationship. It often feels risky and unfamiliar. It implies the use of the present tense. It is one of the most powerful skills in counselling. <P> A review of the literature on the role of feedback in learning shows that student feedback is critical to student learning. Although different studies emphasis immediacy in feedback to different degrees, all of the studies reviewed agree that timeliness in feedback is important. <P> Teacher immediacy is the term used to describe communication behaviors that reduce the perceived distance between teacher and students. <P> Immediacy Edit. Immediacy is the perfection, or erasure, of the gap between signifier and signified, such that a representation is perceived to be the thing itself. It is a consequence of what Kenneth Burke calls naive verbal. thumb|300px|right realism whereby the symbol is simply perceived to be a window to the real. <P> The immediacy of the relation between Ahura and Asha is implied in the statements that Ahura created Asha and that he dwells in the paths which proceed from Asha; and when he created the inspired word of Reason, Asha consented with him in his deed. | The quality or state of being immediate. |
examples of a recessive gene | <P> X-linked inheritance means that the gene causing the trait or the disorder is located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes; males have one X and one Y. Genes on the X chromosome can be recessive or dominant. Their expression in females and males is not the same. However, for males, there needs to be only one copy of an X-linked recessive gene in order for the trait or disorder to be expressed. For example, a woman can carry a recessive gene on one of the X chromosomes unknowingly, and pass it on to a son, who will express the trait: <P> Remember, individuals must have two alleles for a gene, so someone could be homozygous dominant (EE), homozygous recessive (ee), or heterozygous (Ee). In this example, the recessive trait is having attached earlobes and is only seen in someone with the genotype ee (homozygous recessive). A recessive trait is the phenotype that is seen only when a homozygous recessive genotype for the trait of interest is present. This means that an individual must have two recessive alleles for the gene that determines this trait of interest. <P> Mendelian traits in humans concerns how, in Mendelian inheritance, a child receiving a dominant allele from either parent will have the dominant form of the phenotypic trait or characteristic. Only those that received the recessive allele from both parents, known as zygosity, will have the recessive phenotype. Those that receive a dominant allele from one parent and a recessive allele from the other parent will have the dominant form of the trait. Purely Mendelian traits are a tiny minority of all traits, since most phenotypic traits exhibit incomplete dominance, codominance, and contributions from many genes. <P> However, for males, there only needs to be one copy of an X-linked recessive gene in order for the trait or disorder to be expressed. For example, a woman can carry a recessive gene on one of the X chromosomes unknowingly, and pass it on to a son, who will express the trait: Therefore, half of the daughters have the gene and can pass it to the next generation. The other half do not have the gene and, therefore, cannot pass it on. <P> Best Answer: Autosomal recessive is a mode of inheritance of genetic trait located on the autosome, the 22 non sex-determining chromosomes. In opposition to autosomal dominant trait, a recessive trait only becomes phenotypically apparent when 2 copies of a gene two alleles are present. In other words, the subject is homozygous for the trait. Technically, the term recessive gene is impresive because it is not the gene that is recessive, but the phentype or trait or alleles. Gene therapy is a promising new field of medical research. Researchers try to supply copies of healthy genes to cells with variant or missing genes., so the good genes will take over <P> Another way to define a recessive trait is one that is never expressed by the heterozygous genotype. For example, the heterozygous genotype for earlobe type (Ee) produces detached earlobes because the dominant allele (E) hides the effects of the recessive allele (e). A recessive trait is the phenotype that is seen only when a homozygous recessive genotype for the trait of interest is present. This means that an individual must have two recessive alleles for the gene that determines this trait of interest. <P> Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus. The first allele is dominant and the second allele is recessive. For genes on an autosome (any chromosome other than a sex chromosome), the alleles and their associated traits are autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. Dominance is a key concept in Mendelian inheritance and classical genetics. <P> Examples of Recessive Traits. We know many examples of traits controlled by recessive alleles; however, as scientists are more thoroughly studying the genetics of traits, they are finding that many have multiple genes and alleles associated with them, instead of just one gene with two alleles as explained above. A recessive trait is the phenotype that is seen only when a homozygous recessive genotype for the trait of interest is present. This means that an individual must have two recessive alleles for the gene that determines this trait of interest. | Example, a woman can carry a recessive gene on one of the X chromosomes unknowingly, and pass it on to a son, who will express the trait:Therefore, half of the daughters have the gene and can pass it to the next generation.The other half do not have the gene and, therefore, cannot pass it on.owever, for males, there only needs to be one copy of an X-linked recessive gene in order for the trait or disorder to be expressed. |

why is the amur river important | <P> The Amur River is located on the border of China and Russia and is a major waterway in the northeastern part of Asia. It’s Chinese name is Heilung Jiang which translates to Black Dragon River. The Amur and its 200 tributaries drain an area of 1,844,000 sq km (712,000 square miles) — the tenth-largest river basin in the world and one of the largest in the Russian Federation. Its main tributaries include: Shilka, Zeya, Bureya and Amgun on the left and the Huma, Ergune, Songhua, Ussuri on the right. <P> The area consists of the 380-million-acre watershed of the Amur River—the longest undammed river in the Eastern Hemisphere—which creates a natural border between China and Russia. This great river originates near the sacred mountain of Burkan Khaldun in northeastern Mongolia, the birthplace of Genghis Khan. <P> Amur Leopard Project. The Amur leopard is important ecologically, economically, and culturally. Conserving this leopard will benefit prey like Amur tigers which are endangered and deer. Also, Amur leopards' bones are used to make certain types of medicine that has been made in Chinese culture for years. The Amur leopard is important ecologically, economically, and culturally. Conserving this leopard will benefit prey like Amur tigers which are endangered and deer <P> T he southernmost portion of the Siberian Pacific, once part of the ancient empires of China and Korea, is formed by the lower Amur basin. The Amur River is the largest in Siberia (about 2700 miles), equal in size and might to Alaska's Yukon River. For ages, the Amur River served as a cultural highway along which peoples moved, exchanging and mixing customs, beliefs, and artistic traditions. This mannequin, standing before a photograph of a Nanai family group, is dressed in a traditional salmonskin coat as worn by the Nanai women from the Lower Amur basin. The design and cut of these garments reflect Chinese rather than Siberian stylistic influence. <P> The Amur River is formed by the junction of the Shilka River, which rises in the Russian Federation, and the Argun River, which rises in Manchuria. It first flows southeast and then northeast and empties into the Tatar Straits, which separate the island of Sakhalin from the mainland of Siberia. The Amur and its 200 tributaries drain an area of 1,844,000 sq km (712,000 square miles) — the tenth-largest river basin in the world and one of the largest in the Russian Federation. Its main tributaries include: Shilka, Zeya, Bureya and Amgun on the left and the Huma, Ergune, Songhua, Ussuri on the right. <P> The Amur River. The Amur is the ninth-longest river in the world, flowing 2,744 miles across the Far East regions of Russia, forming from a blending of the Argun and Shilka Rivers and flowing to the Tartar Strait at the Pacific Ocean. The Amur is the largest undammed river in the world. On This Site. The 25 Longest Rivers in the World The River as a Lifeline The River as a Boundary Geography links. The area in and around the Amur River is home to 95 percent of the world's Oriental white stork, as well as significant numbers of cranes and other birds. <P> The name Black River (sahaliyan ula) was used by the Manchu and the Ta-tsing Empire who regarded this river as sacred. The Amur River is an important symbol of, and geopolitical factor in, Chinese–Russian relations. The valley narrows after about 200 kilometres (120 mi) and the river again flows north onto plains at the confluence with the Amgun River. Shortly after, the Amur turns sharply east and into an estuary at Nikolayevsk-on-Amur, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) downstream of which it flows into the Strait of Tartary. <P> The Amur is navigable throughout its course and is an important waterway of the Soviet Far East.

what is the difference between micro and macro | <P> For example, the differences between micro and macroeconomics, the differences between micro and macrolenses, the differences between macro and microevolution, the differences between micro and macroanalysis, and the differences between micro and macroinfluences, microclimate and macroclimate. <P> Micro vs Macro. The basic differences between “micro” and “macro” is that macro is on a large scale and cannot be observed while micro is on a very small scale and can be observed or identified. <P> Microeconomics vs. macroeconomics. The difference between micro and macro economics is simple. Microeconomics is the study of economics at an individual, group or company level. Macroeconomics, on the other hand, is the study of a national economy as a whole. Microeconomics focuses on issues that affect individuals and companies. <P> Microeconomics is generally the study of individuals and business decisions, macroeconomics looks at higher up country and government decisions. Macroeconomics and microeconomics, and their wide array of underlying concepts, have been the subject of a great deal of writings. <P> Summary: 1.The basic difference between “macro” and “micro” is micro is variations, relationships, or characteristics at a smaller scale or proportion whereas “macro” is a variation or relationship or characteristics of a larger proportion or scale. <P> 1 Microeconomics is the study of particular markets, and segments of the economy. 2 It looks at issues such as consumer behaviour, individual labour markets, and the theory of firms. 3 Macro economics is the study of the whole economy. 4 It looks at ‘aggregate’ variables, such as aggregate demand, national output and inflation. <P> Micro vs Macro. Micro and macro are prefixes that are used before words to make them small or big respectively. This is true with micro and macroeconomics, micro and macro evolution, microorganism, micro lens and macro lens, micro finance and macro finance, and so on. <P> The word macro derives from the Greek macros, which means large, while micro stems from the Greek word micros, which means small. Macro and micro, when prefixed to other words, such as microscope and macrocosm, indicate their meaning in relation to scale or function. | Macro is on a large scale and cannot be observed while micro is on a very small scale and can be observed or identified. |

how much to relocate a house | <P> A total cost of between $8,000 and $40,000 just to actually move the house from the original site to the new site can be considered to be on the cheaper end of the spectrum with costs for moving bigger houses reaching up to hundreds of thousands. Making the Decision to Move a House. Before making the decision to move a house, people should contact a professional house moving company to get an estimate on how much it will cost to move the house. The entire process can become pretty costly when all other expenses are factored in, but it could still be less than purchasing a new one <P> Some houses are simply easier to move than others, explains Natalie Hammer, who runs Atlas Enterprises in Forest City, Iowa, with her husband, Chris Holland. Their typical price range for relocating a house is $8,000 to $30,000, but the cost will vary regionally. “It depends on the size of the house, how hard it is to get it up and onto the wheels, and how far you’re going,” she says. “It’s not a per-mile thing; it’s how difficult it is, and how heavy it is. The cost to relocate the house 3 miles was much higher — about $55,000 just for the move. That’s at the high end of what people pay for a move, mainly because the house was a three-story structure. <P> The cost of moving a house starts at about $12 to $16 per square foot but can quickly rise if the home is heavier, bigger or has farther to go [sources: McLinden, Burstein ]. One house builder estimates that moving a large home more than just a few miles can run about $150,000 to $200,000 [source: Fetters ]. In addition to the costs of the actual moving, these expenses should also be considered: 1 Cost of the new home, if you're not moving one that you already own <P> The Decision. The easiest way to move a home, and to determine the cost to move a house, is to contact a professional moving specialist. They will come in with a crew, take a look at the house’s structure and the proposed moving spot, and will provide all of the necessary equipment for the job. <P> Monetary Costs. The money you spend on moving your mobile homes depends on the distance of the move. Short distant moves can cost between $1,000–$5,000, while longer trips can cost as much as $15,000 or more. You can determine your cost using this good rule-of-thumb: Estimate about $5–$10 per mile for your move. It’s no secret that moving will cost you. Relocating a mobile home will cost money, time, energy and perhaps other negative consequences. If you’re considering moving a manufactured home, the costs involved can include much more than just money. In fact, the headache of the moving process is a price all of its own. <P> Mobile homes are built on a chassis designed to be moved. The cost to relocate a unit is determined by the size, the distance to be traveled, and whether it is transport only or a full-service move which includes disconnect and reconnect of utilities, porches or other attachments. 1 Full-service mobile home moves of about 60 miles that include disconnect, reconnect and transport will cost about $3,000-$5,000 for a single-wide unit, $4,000-$10,000 for a double-wide and $10,000-$14,000 or more for a triple-wide, depending on size and location. <P> Most house moving companies want to physically inspect a house and the desired placement location before estimating the cost for them to move it. The cost for moving any size house can range between $12 and $16 per square foot, so obviously a smaller house with not a long distance to travel will be cheaper to move. The roads traveled during the move can add to the cost of the move. Making the Decision to Move a House.

In total, moving your mobile home will cost you anywhere in the range of $6,000 to $20,000, based on the size of the home you're moving and how many miles you need to move it. Before the move. 1 All in all, the process of preparing the home for the move can cost up to $1,000 on average, and that's even before the actual move itself. <P> The house cost only $1, and in total, including a one-mile move and reconstruction costs, the couple spent $100,000 for a five-bedroom house worth twice that. | $12 to $16 per square foot |

Vacuoles in animal cells, however, tend to be much smaller, and are more commonly used to temporarily store materials or to transport substances. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth. <P> Vacuole (plants).

Vacuoles are typically filled with a liquid called cell sap, the composition of which can vary (even between vacuoles in the same cell), but is principally water. Water tends to move along concentration gradients into vacuoles. The plant vacuole stores food, water, and wastes. It gives support to soft structures, such as leaves.

The storage of water helps to support the plant. Absorbing more water makes a vacuole bigger which helps a plant to grow. Animal cell vacuoles are much smaller than their plant cell counterparts and in animal cells their roles are more subservient. They assist in expelling proteins and lipids from the cell. The process is known as exocytosis and the role of the vacuole here is to store the molecules and facilitate their transport. <P> A vacuole is a cell organelle found in a number of different cell types. Vacuoles are fluid-filled, enclosed structures that are separated from the cytoplasm by a single membrane. They are found mostly in plant cells and fungi.

what was diet pepsi originally called | <P> Pepsi-Cola was invented by a young pharmacist named Caleb Bradham in 1898.

Pepsi Light, with a distinctive lemon taste, is introduced as an alternative to traditional diet colas. For the first time, Pepsi-Cola becomes the number one cola drink in supermarkets. <P> Study May Explain It. It's not the first attempt by PepsiCo Inc. to lift flagging sales of Diet Pepsi. In 2012, the company tried improving the drink by combining aspartame with acesulfame potassium, often called ace-K, another artificial sweetener that helps prevent the taste from degrading over time. <P> Diet Coke was released in 1982. Most people don't realize that Diet Pepsi had already been on the market for decades by then, and that it had, at first, been TAB versus Diet Pepsi, not Diet Coke versus Diet Pepsi.

what was gorbachev foreign policy success or failure | <P> The one realm of foreign policy in which Yeltsin did not himself inherit a legacy from Gorbachev was in Russia's relations with the former Soviet republics. What had for centuries been a matter of domestic policy for Moscow overnight became a foreign policy challenge of the greatest immediacy.residential dominance of foreign policy became even more pronounced in Yeltsin's Russian Federation than it had been in Gorbachev's USSR, especially since the adoption of the new constitution in 1993. <P> Our survey of Yeltsin's foreign policy can only support a judgment that his record in responding to the challenges facing Russia is decidedly a mixture of successes and failures. Each of the challenges he faced in 1991-92 is being passed on to his successor unresolved.residential dominance of foreign policy became even more pronounced in Yeltsin's Russian Federation than it had been in Gorbachev's USSR, especially since the adoption of the new constitution in 1993. <P> Since his assumption of power in March 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev has embarked upon a program of far-reaching economic and social reform. One of the key factors determining the ultimate success or failure of Gorbachev’s efforts will be his ability to persuade the Soviet military to go along with these changes. Similarly, any arms control agreement will need the military’s support. There are growing signs that Gorbachev sees a deep interconnection between his program of economic restructuring and the need to restructure military policy. <P> The Reykjavik summit meeting between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev on October 11-12, 1986 has remained in history as a near successful attempt of leaders of nuclear powers to agree on complete elimination of nuclear weapons.pon leaving Reykjavik, Gorbachev kept one important Soviet position — progress on all arms control fronts (strategic weapons, intermediate-range weapons, and nuclear testing) was linked to non-withdrawal from the ABM Treaty. <P> But once glasnost let people say what they thought, many people said: We want out.. By December 1991, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. Gorbachev's foreign policy, which he called new thinking, also contributed to the Cold War's end. Gorbachev said that security was a game from which all could benefit through co-operation. Ultimately, the deepest causes of the Soviet collapse were the decline of communist ideology and economic failure. This would have happened even without Gorbachev. In the early Cold War, communism and the Soviet Union had considerable soft power. Many communists led the resistance against fascism in Europe and many people believed that communism was the wave of the future. <P> Regimes tumble. Gorbachev’s reforms had spread to the Soviet Union’s satellite states in Eastern Europe where pro-democracy movements were undermining shaky regimes in Poland, Hungary, East Germany, Czechoslovakia and beyond.hen Mikhail Gorbachev was selected as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union’s general secretary 20 years ago, in March 1985, it marked the beginning of the end of Stalinist rule in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. <P> Basic Concepts of Foreign Policy under Yeltsin. Boris Yeltsin's primary aim in foreign policy, like Mikhail Gorbachev's before him, was to create a non-threatening external environment that would be most conducive to his country's internal economic and political development.residential dominance of foreign policy became even more pronounced in Yeltsin's Russian Federation than it had been in Gorbachev's USSR, especially since the adoption of the new constitution in 1993. <P> The foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration was the foreign policy of the United States from 1981 to 1989. It was characterized by a strategy of peace through strength followed by a warming of relations with the Soviet Union, and resulting in an end to the Cold War when Mikhail Gorbachev rose to power. Reagan escalated the Cold War with the Soviet Union, marking a sharp departure from the policy of detente détente by his Predecessors Richard, Nixon Gerald, ford And Jimmy. carter | Determining the ultimate success or failure of Gorbachev’s efforts will be his ability to persuade the Soviet military to go along with these changes. |

Surprisingly, there are a few deciduous (meaning they lose their leaves in the winter) fruit trees like peach, plum and nectarine suitable to grow in North and Central Florida landscapes. Deciduous fruit trees need a certain amount of exposure to cold winter temperatures each year. <P> Definition of Deciduous Trees. More than likely, you are not too far from a deciduous tree right now. Deciduous trees are trees that drop their leaves for part of the year. They are found in temperate and tropical climates all over the world. <P> Deciduous trees can be found in most regions of the planet. Common examples of deciduous trees include oak, maple, and hickory trees. Oak trees are characteristic deciduous trees that lose their leaves in the fall and re-grow them in the spring. There are approximately 600 living species of oak trees. These hardwood trees have large, lobe-shaped leaves and produce a fruit in the form of a nut called an acorn. | Oak, maple, and hickory trees. |
what were some wars hawaii had | <P> In 1937 statehood for Hawaii was proposed and refused by the U.S. Congress—the territory's mixed population and distance from the U.S. mainland were among the obstacles. On Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese aircraft made a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, plunging the United States into World War II. <P> Hawaii (Hawaiian: Hawai‘i) is a group of volcanic islands in the central Pacific Ocean. The islands lie 2,397 miles from San Francisco, California, to the east and 5,293 miles from Manila, in the Philippines, to the west. The capital is Honolulu, located on the island of Oahu. <P> After World War Two and statehood, sugar and pineapple (which previously drove Hawaii’s agricultural economy) became the third and fourth largest export and contributor to the Hawaiian economy. The capital gained from these resources was replaced largely by tourism. <P> On July 12, 1898, the Joint Resolution passed and the Hawaiian islands were officially annexed by the United States. The Hawaiian islands had a well-established culture and long history of self-governance when Captain James Cook, the first European explorer to set foot on Hawaii, landed in 1778. <P> Many of them were from Hawai'i, where Nisei made up a substantial portion of the Hawaii National Guard's 298th and 299th Regiments. At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, some 600 Japanese Americans were training at Schofield Barracks in central O'ahu. <P> On July 21, 1898 the resolution had passed and the Hawaiian Islands were officially annexed by the United States. People of Hawaii were not happy about the idea of Annexation <P> Given the depth of American involvement in Hawaii, one might assume the Civil War would have significant effects on the Kingdom of Hawaii and the Pacific World. A full exploration and analysis of those effects will aid a more complete understanding of nineteenth century Hawaiian and Pacific history. <P> The 1897 Petition Against the Annexation of Hawaii. The last monarch of Hawaii was Queen Lili’uokalani in 1892, which was later replaced by a provisional government. President Benjamin Harrison, submitted a treaty to annex the Hawaiian Islands to the U. S. Senate for ratification. <P> The Kingdom of Hawaii immediately felt repercussions of the Civil War in its diplomatic and political affairs. Decisions were required regarding Hawaii's status in the conflict and treaty negotiations with the United States were delayed. | Attack on Pearl Harbor and World War II. |

Native to the americas the-jaguar is the third largest feline after the, tiger and the lion and The. largest in the americas The jaguar hunts wild animals weighing up to 300 kg (660 lb) in dense jungle, and its short and sturdy physique is thus an adaptation to its prey and environment. The base coat of the jaguar is generally a tawny yellow, but can range to reddish-brown and black, for most of the body. <P> Compared to the, often thought of types of jaguars animals, leopards the jaguars have more muscular bodies. They are heavier as well. They are known to have strong jaws and as a matter of fact known as the cats with the strongest ones. There are quite a lot of people who are looking to get to know the types of jaguars animals. You see, jaguars are jaguars. There are no different types of jaguars animals. They are known as one of the largest cats on the planet. There are times that the leopards are considered as types of jaguars animals. But then again, they are completely different species and they just have a number of similar characteristics such as their spotted fur <P> Tigers and lions are not types of jaguars animals too. They are the only cats that are bigger than the jaguars but they are certainly not types of jaguars animals.

what is a sweet port wine | <P> Port is a sweet, red, fortified wine from Portugal. Port is most commonly enjoyed as a dessert wine because it is rich and sweet. There are several styles of Port, including red, white, rose rosé and an aged style Called Tawny. port 1 Tawny Port: a very sweet barrel-aged port with oxidative nut and caramel flavors. 2 White Port: made with indigenous white grapes including Rabigato, Viosinho, Gouveio and Malvasia. 3 Rose Rosé: Port this is a new style Of port wine made like rose rosé wine with flavors, of strawberry violets. <P> While sweet red wines are certainly less common than sweet white wines, they are available. Port is perhaps the most famous sweet wine made from red wine grapes. Next, there are some dessert wines that are also made from red grapes with higher levels of residual sugar and a sweet, unctious profile. Some ice wines are also crafted from red wine grapes, though these are a bit harder to find. <P> Port is a fortified sweet wine made in the Douro Valley in northern Portugal. Many other wine regions make Port-style wines, but they are not true Ports, which only come from Portugal. There are more than 100 grapes that can be used to make Port, although five are the most commonly used. <P> And then the added Brandy made it sweeter still. So to answer what is port wine, it is a wine made in the Duoro region of Portugal that has brandy added to it, which stops the fermentation. It is a sweet red wine that comes in a dry, semi-dry and white variety. Most Port is served after dinner as a dessert wine. To answer What is Port Wine, let's start with the history of Port Wine. Back in the 17th century when France was at war it decided to deprive the British and Dutch from importing their wine. When this happened the British and Dutch were forced to venture to Portugal's Douro River Valley for wine. <P> Port is produced from grapes grown and processed in the demarcated Douro region. The wine produced is then fortified by the addition of a neutral grape spirit known as aguardente in order to stop the fermentation, leaving residual sugar in the wine, and to boost the alcohol content. <P> Port wine (also known as Vinho do Porto, [ˌviɲuduˈpoɾtu] , Porto, and usually simply port) is a Portuguese fortified wine produced exclusively in the Douro Valley in the northern provinces of Portugal. It is typically a sweet, red wine, often served as a dessert wine, though it also comes in dry, semi-dry, and white varieties. Fortified wines in the style of port are also produced outside Portugal, most notably in Australia, France, South Africa, Canada, India, Argentina, and the United States. The wine produced is then fortified by the addition of a neutral grape spirit known as aguardente in order to stop the fermentation, leaving residual sugar in the wine, and to boost the alcohol content. <P> White Port Wine. White Port Wines are lighter tasting than the other ports. The white port wines are made from a blend of white grapes and have a small amount of juice from the red grapes added to them. The port spends two to three years in casks and is ready to drink when it is bottled. To answer What is Port Wine, let's start with the history of Port Wine. Back in the 17th century when France was at war it decided to deprive the British and Dutch from importing their wine.

Because of its sweetness, many people drink it as a dessert wine. There are a few types of Port-including tawny ports and ruby Ports. Ruby Port is a fortified sweet red wine that is rich and thick. Tawny Port has a golden color with raisin and toffee flavors. Port has a higher alcohol content than regular wine and it goes well with rich desserts that contain chocolate. 1 It is made from a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and other red wine grapes. 2 Totally Random Sweet Red Wine is made with an array of red wine varietals. 3 The winemaker has stopped fermentation early, however, to leave residual sugars in the wine. <P> Madeira is a fortified Portuguese wine made in the Madeira Islands. Madeira is produced in a variety of styles ranging from dry wines which can be consumed on their own as an aperitif, to sweet wines more usually consumed with dessert. Cheaper versions are often flavoured with salt and pepper for use in cooking. | It is typically a sweet, red wine, often served as a dessert wine, though it also comes in dry, semi-dry, and white varieties. |
what is a tcl version | <P> The name Tcl is derived from Tool Command Language and is pronounced tickle. Tcl is a radically simple open-source interpreted programming language that provides common facilities such as variables, procedures, and control structures as well as many useful features that are not found in any other major language. On most Linux systems, Tcl/Tk is already installed. You can find out by typing tclsh at a console prompt (xterm or such). If a % prompt appears, you're already set. Just to make sure, type info pa at the % prompt to see the patchlevel (e.g. 8.4.9) and info na to see where the executable is located in the file system. <P> 2. I'm looking for a very straight-forward way of getting the version of the TCL installed on a machine from the command-line. For most programming languages, something along the lines of. provides the information that I want. This does not seem to be an option for tclsh <P> Tcl/Tk 8.6 is the latest stable release of Tcl/Tk.

File system access is limited and arbitrary system commands are prevented from execution. It uses a dual interpreter model with the untrusted interpreter running code in an untrusted script. Tcl interfaces natively with the C language. This is because it was originally written to be a framework for providing a syntactic front-end to commands written in C, and all commands in the language (including things that might otherwise be keywords, such as if or while) are implemented this way. | The name Tcl is derived from Tool Command Language and is pronounced tickle.

what is a daimyo | <P> Each samurai had a lord in which he served. The Daimyo were known for their skill as generals and military leaders. Following the shogun, the daimyo were the most powerful rulers from the 10th century to the early 19th. The daimyo were only subordinate to the Shogun and only one man at a time could be Shogun. There were many daimyos all across Japan, but there was only one Shogun at a time. <P> The Daimyo. The Daimyo was a warlord just like the shogun, but would fight a lot more battles. The daimyo's job was to keep justice and peace in the towns of a province and to serve the shogun. There would be many daimyo' through out Japan. The daimyo would usually lead an army into battle, but if the daimyo was not much of a warrior or was scared of the enemy he would stay back and ask a general to do his job and lead the army into battle. <P> Subordinate only to the shogun, daimyo were the most powerful feudal rulers from the 10th century to the middle 19th century in Japan. From the shugo of the Muromachi period through the Sengoku to the daimyo of the Edo period, the rank had a long and varied history. The term daimyo is also sometimes used to refer to the leading figures of such clans, also called lord.

Definition: Daimyo: A feudal lord in shogunate Japan, c. 10th century to 19th century. The daimyo were large land-owners, and vassals of the Shogun. Samurai warriors served to protect the lives and property of the daimyo.

Daimyo is a powerful military lord in fudal japan and shohun is a military ruler ruler of feudal japan but they are very similar its just that Daimyo weekend the shogun for a while and had power. The Daimyo were the provincial rulers of feudal japan, similar to European Lords. A Shogunate, or Bakufu, is a type of military government that is ruled by a Shogun. Throughout Japan's history, there have been 3 Bakufu.

what is the toxin that causes botulism | <P> Botulism is a rare, but serious illness caused by a germ called Clostridium botulinum. The germ is found in soil and can survive, grow, and produce toxin in a sealed jar of food. This toxin can affect your nerves, paralyze you, and even cause death. Even taking a small taste of food containing this toxin can be deadly. <P> Botulism is a disease caused by the bacterium scientifically known as Clostridium botulinum. Botulism food poisoning occurs when a toxin produced by the bacteria is consumed in improperly preserved foods. The disease is caused by a potent neurotoxin produced by the bacteria. It manifests as abdominal cramping, double or blurred vision, difficulty breathing, muscle weakness, and other serious symptoms. Botulism is not spread from person to person. The disease course varies among individuals. Symptoms usually appear 12 to 36 hours after ingesting contaminated food, and can include muscle paralysis caused by the extremely potent toxin. Botulism food poisoning is treated with botulinum antitoxin and hospitalization (Source: CDC). <P> Botulism is a serious illness that causes flaccid paralysis of muscles. It is caused by a neurotoxin, generically called botulinum toxin, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum (and rarely by C. butyricum and C. baratii). Botulism facts. 1 The botulism neurotoxin is one of the most potent, lethal substances known. 2 Botulism is a disease caused by this neurotoxin (specifically A, B, E, or F type neurotoxin). 3 The neurotoxin is produced by bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. 4 The neurotoxin paralyzes muscles and can be deadly. <P> Infant botulism signs and symptoms may include: Botulism is caused by botulinum toxin, a poison produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The organism is common in the soil and exists in untreated water, and can survive in this environment as a resistant spore. 1 Infant botulism-by colonization of the digestive tract by Clostridium botulinum in babies. 2 Adult botulism-by colonization of the digestive tract by Clostridium botulinum in adults. 3 Foodborne botulism-as a result of eating foodstuffs with the toxin. <P> Botulism is caused by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, found in soil, dust and river or sea sediments. The bacteria themselves are not harmful, but they can produce highly poisonous toxins when they are deprived of oxygen (such as in closed cans or bottles, stagnant soil or mud, or occasionally the human body). Introduction. Botulism is a rare but potentially fatal condition caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. The toxins produced by C. botulinum are some of the most powerful toxins known to science. <P> The cause of botulism is a nerve toxin (botulinum toxin) that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Clostridium botulinum is the name of a group of bacteria commonly found in soil and marine sediments worldwide. Their spores are often found on the surfaces of fruits and vegetables, as well as in seafood. These rod-shaped organisms grow best in low-oxygen conditions. <P> 1 The neurotoxin is produced by bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. 2 The neurotoxin paralyzes muscles and can be deadly. 3 There are three major types of botulism that differ in how they are acquired: food-borne, wound, and infant botulism. 4 Food-borne botulism is usually caused by eating contaminated home-canned foods. Botulism facts. 1 The botulism neurotoxin is one of the most potent, lethal substances known. 2 Botulism is a disease caused by this neurotoxin (specifically A, B, E, or F type neurotoxin). 3 The neurotoxin is produced by bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. 4 <P> In all cases, illness is caused by the botulinum toxin produced by the bacterium C. botulinum in anaerobic conditions and not by the bacterium itself. The pattern of damage occurs because the toxin affects nerves that fire (depolarise) at a higher frequency first. Infant botulism happens when the bacteria develops in the intestines and releases toxin. Typically this only happens in children less than six months of age as after that protective mechanisms develop. Wound botulism is found most often among those who inject street drugs. <P> Foodborne botulism happens when food containing the toxin is eaten. Infant botulism happens when the bacteria develops in the intestines and releases toxin. Typically this only happens in children less than six months of age as after that protective mechanisms develop. Wound botulism is found most often among those who inject street drugs. <P> Botulism, also known as botulinus intoxication is a serious illness that causes paralysis, caused by the botulinum toxin. The toxin is caused by Clostridium botulinum, a type of bacterium. There are four ways in which the toxin can enter the human body: All types of botulism eventually lead to paralysis, which generally starts with the face muscles and then spreads to the limbs. 1 Infant botulism-by colonization of the digestive tract by Clostridium botulinum in babies. 2 Adult botulism-by colonization of the digestive tract by Clostridium botulinum in adults. 3 Foodborne botulism-as a result of eating foodstuffs with the toxin. | Bacterium scientifically known as Clostridium botulinum. |
functional classification of joints is based on | <P> 1. Define the term articulation. 2. Distinguish between the functional and structural classification of joints, and relate the terms that are essentially synonymous. 3. Compare and contrast the terms synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis and diarthrosis and give examples of each. 4. Name the three types of fibrous joints and give an example of each. 5. <P> The functional classification of body joints is based on the degree of movement found at each joint. A synarthrosis is a joint that is essentially immobile. This type of joint provides for a strong connection between the adjacent bones, which serves to protect internal structures such as the brain or heart. Structural classifications of the body joints are based on how the bones are held together and articulate with each other. At fibrous joints, the adjacent bones are directly united to each other by fibrous connective tissue. Similarly, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage. <P> eg. . pubic. symphysis. and. intervertebral. discs).

Joints are mainly classified structurally and functionally. Structural classification is determined by how the bones connect to each other, while functional classification is determined by the degree of movement between the articulating bones. In practice, there is significant overlap between the two types of classifications <P> Describe and give an example for each functional type of joint. Functional classification of joints is based on the degree of mobility exhibited by the joint. A synarthrosis is an immobile or nearly immobile joint. An example is the manubriosternal joint or the joints between the skull bones surrounding the brain. Structural classifications of the body joints are based on how the bones are held together and articulate with each other. At fibrous joints, the adjacent bones are directly united to each other by fibrous connective tissue. Similarly, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage. <P> Structural Classification of Joints. The structural classification of joints is based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. Structural classifications of the body joints are based on how the bones are held together and articulate with each other. At fibrous joints, the adjacent bones are directly united to each other by fibrous connective tissue. Similarly, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage. <P> Joints of human beings can be classified on different bases. Each base divides joints into different categories.

From what I've heard, the RCM standards are slightly less demanding, though it is what I have most experience with. I reached RCM Gr.8 in the summer of 2007, when I started in 2001. It depends. It took me four years, but I play at LEAST 2-3 hours a day. For the average bear, I think it's seven to eight years.

normal range of blood pressure for elderly | <P> That level should be lower than 120/80 mmHg. When the level stays high, 140/90 mmHg or higher, you have high blood pressure. With high blood pressure, the heart works harder, your arteries take a beating, and your chances of a stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems are greater. 1 1. 2 2. High Blood Pressure in Seniors. High blood pressure is a blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher. Both numbers are important. Nearly 1 in 3 American adults has <P> Normal Blood Pressure. Normal blood pressure for adults is defined as a systolic pressure below 120 mmHg and a diastolic pressure below 80 mmHg. It is normal for blood pressures to change when you sleep, wake up, or are excited or nervous. When you are active, it is normal for your blood pressure to increase. <P> The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, is the pressure when your heart fills with blood. The safest range, often called normal blood pressure, is a systolic blood pressure of less than 120 and a diastolic blood pressure of less than 80. This is stated as 120/80. The term “prehypertension” describes people whose blood pressure is slightly higher than normal—for example, the first number (systolic) is between 120 and 139, or the second number (diastolic) is between 80 and 89. Prehypertension can put you at risk for developing high blood pressure. <P> The risk of a heart attack rises in men with age. The value of normal blood pressure range is 120/less than 80. The American Heart Associated (AHA) has fixed this value as a standard in the year 2006. Most physicians also consider anything close to this value as normal blood pressure for me. These values for the 10-12 years age group are 114-127 (systolic) and 77-83 (diastolic). Normal Blood Pressure Range for Adults. The normal blood pressure for adults needs to be less than 120 mmHg in the systole phase while the value for the blood pressure in the diastolic phase should be less than 80 mmHg. Normal Blood Pressure Range for Elderly. The values of ideal blood pressure change with ag <P> For older people, the first number (systolic) often is 140 or greater, but the second number (diastolic) is less than 90. This problem is called isolated systolic hypertension. It is the most common form of high blood pressure in older people and can lead to serious health problems. The term “prehypertension” describes people whose blood pressure is slightly higher than normal—for example, the first number (systolic) is between 120 and 139, or the second number (diastolic) is between 80 and 89. Prehypertension can put you at risk for developing high blood pressure. <P> When systolic blood pressure rises above 160 in people aged 60 and older, it's time to consider treatment -- even if the lower number is normal, less than 90. New research on systolic high blood pressure, which is much more common as we age, is published in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Doing so can decrease the likelihood of developing heart disease or having a stroke. Systolic blood pressure is considered high when it's 140 or above. When the lower blood pressure number is less than 90, treatment is generally considered only when systolic blood pressure tops 160. Among older patients, the evidence isn't yet clear that the pros outweigh the cons of treating it in the 140-160 range <P> Normal Blood Pressure Range. The blood pressure with the systolic/diastolic ratio of 120/80 is considered to be the ideal blood pressure range. The risk of heart attacks is less at this level. However, anything between 140/90 and 120/80 is generally considered as the normal blood pressure range. These values for the 10-12 years age group are 114-127 (systolic) and 77-83 (diastolic). Normal Blood Pressure Range for Adults.
