difference between rocks and minerals | <P> Tweet. Key Difference: Rocks are formed from minerals or mineroids solidified into one. A rock could be made up of either one or more than one minerals combined together. Minerals are homogenous solids that have regular structures and are found in rocks, ore and mineral deposits in the earth’s crust. Composition. Rocks are made up of one or more minerals or mineraloids. Have a definite chemical composition; minerals are inorganic compounds. Characteristics. Rocks are characterized by mineral and chemical composition, texture and permeability. <P> Granite, for instance, is an intrusive igneous rock composed of the minerals quartz, feldspar, mica, hornblende, and other combinations or ratios of minerals. A rock is composed of combinations of minerals, each mineral having its own chemical formula and crystalline structure.

Learn what rocks and minerals are, what the difference is, examples of rocks and minerals, the difference between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, Mohs scale of hardness and much more. Read on and have fun finding out about rocks and minerals. <P> A mineral is a solid formation that occurs naturally in the earth while a rock is a solid combination of more than one mineral formations which is also occurring naturally. A mineral has a unique chemical composition and is necessarily defined by its crystalline structure and shape. For example, a sedimentary rock form is limestone that is composed only of the mineral calcite. Main rocks on earth contain minerals like magnetite, quartz, feldspar, mica, epidote etc. But more than half of the mineral types classified in geological studies are considered rare. <P> Diffen › Science › Geology. A mineral is a naturally-occurring substance formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition, a highly ordered atomic structure and specific physical properties. A rock is a naturally occurring aggregate of minerals and/or mineraloids. Rocks do not have a definite chemical composition. <P> Rocks are formed from minerals or mineroids solidified into one. A rock could be made up of either one or more than one minerals combined together. For example, the most common rock granite is a combination of quartz, feldspar and biotite minerals. The Earth’s crust is also known as a rock. Composition. Rocks are made up of one or more minerals or mineraloids. Have a definite chemical composition; minerals are inorganic compounds. Characteristics. Rocks are characterized by mineral and chemical composition, texture and permeability. <P> Igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and hardens into a rock. Magma and lava are rocks that are so hot they move like a liquid. Magma is molten rock that is underground; lava is molten rock that is above the ground – and that is the only difference between them. A common igneous rock is granite. <P> Such rocks are known as ores and the residue of the rock after the mineral has been extracted is called tailing. The classification of rocks also depends on their mineral and chemical composition, texture and the process of formation. Rocks are therefore classified as igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. A rock cycle defines how one rock form changes to another. For example, a sedimentary rock form is limestone that is composed only of the mineral calcite. Main rocks on earth contain minerals like magnetite, quartz, feldspar, mica, epidote etc. But more than half of the mineral types classified in geological studies are considered rare. <P> A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes. A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals whereas a rock may also include organic remains and mineraloids. For example, limestone is a sedimentary rock composed almost entirely of the mineral calcite. Other rocks contain many minerals, and the specific minerals in a rock can vary widely. Some minerals, like quartz, mica or feldspar are common, while others have been found in only one or two locations worldwide. | A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes.

Striped and brown hyenas are predominantly scavengers, though they do supplement their diets with small prey from insects to foxes. The aardwolf, also, lives in Africa. They live in territorial clans of related individuals, sometimes up to 80 members. Spotted hyenas are hunters and scavengers. Besides flesh, they eat skin, bones, and even animal droppings. Spotted hyenas are 28 to 35 inches tall and weigh 90 to 190 pounds. <P> The striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) is a species of true hyena native to North and East Africa, the Middle East, the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. <P> Hyenas are widespread and found in most habitats. Spotted hyenas are found in all habitats, including savannas, grasslands, woodlands, forest edges, subdeserts, and even mountains up to 13,000 ft. There are three hyena species—spotted, brown, and striped. Spotted hyenas are the largest of the three. Hyenas are fairly large in build and have relatively short torsos with lower hindquarters and sloping backs. <P> Hyena. There are four species of Hyena: spotted, brown, striped, and the aardwolf.

Care should be taken to ensure that the cuff size is appropriate for the person whose blood pressure is being taken. The sphygmomanometer is designed to monitor blood pressure by measuring the force of the blood in the heart where the pressure is greatest. This occurs during the contraction of the ventricles, when blood is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body (systolic pressure). <P> Sphygmomanometer: An instrument for measuring blood pressure, particularly in arteries. The two types of sphygmomanometers are a mercury column and a gauge with a dial face. The sphygmomanometer in most frequent use today consists of a gauge attached to a rubber cuff which is wrapped around the upper arm and is inflated to constrict the arteries.

what is the meaning of hemithorax | <P> In pediatric patients, chest tube size varies with the size of the child. In patients older than 12 years, the chest tube size used is usually the same as that for adults. In smaller children, a 24- to 34-French chest tube should be used, depending on the size of the child. Attention should be given to the location of insertion on the chest wall and the intrathoracic position of the tube as seen on the chest radiograph. For maximum drainage, thoracostomy tube placement for hemothorax should ideally be in the sixth or seventh intercostal space at the posterior axillary line. <P> These 10 facts about space will blow your mind. A hemithorax is one side of the chest. The thorax is the medical term for the chest area, and hemithorax indicates only one half of the chest. The plural for this medical term is hemithoraxes or hemithoraces. This is the name for any condition that causes one hemithorax to show up dark on a radiology chart of the chest. Opaque hemithoraces can indicate pleural effusion (fluid filling the lungs), too. <P> In supine patients, signs of hemothorax may also be subtle on radiographic film, because the blood will layer in the pleural space, and can be seen as a haziness in one half of the thorax relative to the other side. When a hemothorax occurs, blood enters the pleural cavity, which normally only contains a small amount of pleural fluid. As blood builds up within the pleural cavity, it begins to interfere with the normal movement of the lungs, resulting in dypsnea, poor ventilation, and abnormal oxygenation. <P> A hemothorax (hemo- + thorax) (or haemothorax /Haemorrhagic pleural effusion) is a type of pleural effusion in which blood accumulates in the pleural cavity. When a hemothorax occurs, blood enters the pleural cavity, which normally only contains a small amount of pleural fluid. As blood builds up within the pleural cavity, it begins to interfere with the normal movement of the lungs, resulting in dypsnea, poor ventilation, and abnormal oxygenation. <P> Pneumonia causes something called hemithorax opacification.

Stedman's, part of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, provides a comprehensive line of health-science publications for healthcare professionals and medical students <P> Complete white-out of a hemithorax on the chest x-ray has a limited number of causes. The differential diagnosis can be shortened further with one simple observation-the position of the trachea. <P> Don't forget the back! The classic signs of a haemothorax are decreased chest expansion, dullness to percussion and reduced breath sounds in the affected hemithorax. There is no mediastinal or tracheal deviation unless there is a massive haemothorax. Haemothorax is a collection of blood in the pleural space and may be caused by blunt or penetrating trauma. Most haemothoraces are the result of rib fractures, lung parenchymal and minor venous injuries, and as such are self-limiting. | Is one side of the chest. |
average relocation costs | <P> The fee for moving an average 1,000-square-foot, 3-bedroom apartment (goods weighing 5,500 pounds) from Chicago to Miami would be approximately $4,400 to $4,900.

what are autonomic neurons | <P> The commands of the ANS leave the central nervous system and go to effector organs by means of two efferent neurons arranged in series. The first neuron (preganglionic neuron) synapses with the second neuron (postganglionic neuron) at an autonomic ganglion. Acetylcholine is the most common. Neurons that release it are called cholinergic. Cholinergic neurons include all preganglionic neurons of the autonomic nervous system, postganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic nervous system and some postganglionic neurons (sweat glands) of the sympathetic nervous system. <P> The activity of autonomic ganglionic neurons is modulated by “preganglionic neurons” located in the central nervous system. Preganglionic sympathetic neurons are located in the spinal cord, at the thorax and upper lumbar levels. The autonomic nervous system is unique in that it requires a sequential two-neuron efferent pathway; the preganglionic neuron must first synapse onto a postganglionic neuron before innervating the target organ. <P> The term autonomic nervous system (ANS) refers to collections of motor neurons (ganglia) situated in the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, and to the axonal connections of these neurons (Figure 1). Brain and spinal cord pathways regulating autonomic outflow. Preganglionic neurons for parasympathetic and sympathetic autonomic outflow are located in the brainstem and in thoracic, upper lumbar and sacral regions of the spinal cord (Figure 1). Several different brain centres control these preganglionic neurons. <P> 1. Acetylcholine is the most common. Neurons that release it are called cholinergic. Cholinergic neurons include all preganglionic neurons of the autonomic nervous system, postganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic nervous system and some postganglionic neurons (sweat glands) of the sympathetic nervous system. <P> motor neuron, one of various efferent nerve cells that transmit nerve impulses from the brain or from the spinal cord to muscular or glandular tissue.

These neurons make up the Autonomic Nervous System. Some visceral efferent neurons begin in the brain; others in the spinal cord. Somatic efferent neurons are motor neurons that conduct impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal muscles. These neurons are multipolar neurons, with cell bodies located in the gray matter of the spinal cord. Somatic efferent neurons leave the spinal cord through the ventral root of spinal nerves <P> 1. Consist of two-neuron relays (preganglionic neurons from the central nervous system to autonomic ganglia, synapses, postganglionic neurons from ganglia to visceral effectors). 2. In contrast, somatic motor neurons conduct all the way from the CNS to somatic effectors with no intervening synapses. Two general types of cells are found in the nervous system: neurons and neuroglia. A. Neurons 1. Consist of three main parts—dendrites (conduct impulses to cell body of neuron); cell body of neuron; and axon (conducts impulses away from cell body of neuron) 2. <P> Within the brain, the autonomic nervous system is regulated by the hypothalamus. Autonomic functions include control of respiration, cardiac regulation (the cardiac control center), vasomotor activity (the vasomotor center), and certain reflex actions such as coughing, sneezing, swallowing and vomiting.

how to get rid of larder beetles in house | <P> When an infestation is present, the first step in larder beetle management is to try to determine the source of this infestation and remove it. Look in areas where you see the most larder beetles and particularly check out areas where food is stored, including dry pet food. They have a cream to yellow colored band across the top of their wing covers with six dark colored spots inside it. They are about 1/4-1/3 inch in length (fig. 1). The larvae are worm-like, fairly hairy, reddish to dark brown in color. <P> A. Larder beetles in the house are pesky pests to get rid of because any animal byproduct can be affected by larder beetles. We recommend using 565 Plus XLO to use around cracks and crevices, especially paying attention to the baseboard areas. We also recommend using Delta Dust in the wall void area. <P> LARDER BEETLES. Description Like ladybugs, larder beetles belong to the order Coleoptera (beetles). They, too, have rigid protective wings, but at first sight they seem to be darker in colour. The colour pattern of the larder beetle is easy to recognize with its wide, light yellowish band across the first pair of wings. <P> Larder Beetle Pest Control. If you are unable to manage your infestation of larder beetles, professional help may be sought. In order to help your technician locate and remove these beetles, you may want to identify and locate the food source. All about the Larder Beetle. The larder beetle gets its name from its tendency to be found in larders, as the name would suggest. These tiny beetles like our food sources as much as we do and can quickly take over your pantry, or larder, if uncontrolled. Larder beetles are less-commonly known as skin beetles. <P> The larder beetle may get its name from the fact that it is a pest of cured meat and other stored food products. It is a member of the beetle group called dermestid beetles. When they invade a home, larder beetles move into dark areas where they can find food. They prefer to feed on dead insects and stored meat or cheese. They will also feed on feathers, skins, horns and dry pet food. Reproduction. The female beetles lay eggs in the spring and summer. When the eggs hatch, the larvae burrow into the food material. The larvae mature to pupae and then adults in two or three months. When it time for them to change into adults, the larvae leave the food and burrow into a soli <P> How To Get Rid Of Larder Beetles. Larder beetles can be controlled much like other pantry beetles: once you remove the food source, you can get rid of the majority of your infestation. Here are some steps to take when getting rid of larder beetles. 1 Determine the source of the infestation and remove the food source. 2 Removing the food source is a quick and easy way to get rid of the bulk of the beetles or larvae. 1 Removing the food source is a quick and easy way to get rid of the bulk of the beetles or larvae. 2 However, this gets tricky when the food source may be somewhere inaccessible, like in a wall void or attic. 3 You can wait until the beetles have eaten the food source, because they will leave once there is no more food. <P> Figure 2.

Squamous cell carcinoma around the eye, also known as cancer eye, is a common neoplasm in cattle, especially those breeds with little pigment in the eyelids. Sunlight, viruses, skin pigmentation and heredity are all thought to be involved in causing the disease. <P> Abstract. Epithelial metaplasia refers to the replacement of normal epithelium at a given site by mature benign epithelium inappropriate to that site. The endometrium is not unique in that it too demonstrates a spectrum of metaplastic epithelia. <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Metaplasia (Greek : change in form) is the reversible replacement of one differentiated cell type with another mature differentiated cell type. The change from one type of cell to another may generally be a part of normal maturation process or caused by some sort of abnormal stimulus. <P> Apocrine metaplasia is sometimes described as a ‘benign epithelial alteration’ of breast tissue, which means that epithelial cells are undergoing an unexpected change. The word apocrine means something to do with sweat, but only a resemblance. It’s not actually sweat gland related. Apocrine Metaplasia is a particular kind of cellular change associated with a variety of breast cystic disorders. It is a completely benign condition which in itself does not increase risk for subsequent breast cancer. <P> metaplasia. the change in the type of adult cells in a tissue to a form abnormal for that tissue. adj., adj metaplas´tic. agnogenic myeloid metaplasia the primary or idiopathic form of myeloid metaplasia, which is often accompanied by myelofibrosis; it is considered one of the myeloproliferative disorders. myeloid metaplasia the occurrence of myeloid tissue in extramedullary sites; specifically, a syndrome characterized by splenomegaly, anemia, nucleated erythrocytes and immature granulocytes in the circulating blood, and extramedullary hematopoiesis in the liver and spleen. <P> Squamous metaplasia refers to benign non-cancerous change (metaplasia) of (non-squamous) surfacing lining cells (epithelium) to a squamous morphology. In regards to the cervix, squamous metaplasia can sometimes be found in the endocervix, as it is composed of simple columnar epithelium, whereas the ectocervix is composed of stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium. <P> This change is called squamous metaplasia because the cells look like the type of cells called squamous cells. When the irritation disappears, for example when you stop smoking or the infection clears, the lining cells return to their normal appearance. The more severe the dysplasia is, the more it is similar to squamous cell carcinoma in-situ which is a pre-cancer. If squamous dysplasia is seen on a biopsy, it might mean that there is something more serious, like in-situ or invasive carcinoma, somewhere else in the lung that wasn’t sampled on this biopsy. | Refers to benign non-cancerous change (metaplasia) of (non-squamous) surfacing lining cells (epithelium) to a squamous morphology. |
what is founder shares | <P> 1 Negligible par value. 2 Since founder’s shares are usually issued at the time the company is incorporated, they essentially have no par value. 3 As the company builds value, shares allocated later for employees or partners will have an appropriate price. Even though the class is common stock, founders can negotiate special vesting and other terms as part of their stock restriction agreement upon venture investment. Here are some typical special terms for founder’s stock: 1 <P> Definition. Issued to the originators of a firm, these shares (stock) normally do not receive any return until dividend payable to common stock holders (ordinary share holders) is paid out. However, these shares are entitled to all of the remaining (after tax) profits, no matter how much. <P> Founders' shares are shares held (or originally held) by the founders of a company. They may be golden shares, deferred shares, have other characteristics that distinguish them from ordinary shares. In some contexts founders' shares may simply mean ordinary shares held by the founders. Start-ups sometimes issue founders' shares that may be repurchased by the company if the founder fails to remain actively involved in the company for a specific time. In some cases the number of shares the founder may retain is proportionate to their period working for the company. <P> Companies that do not exist cannot issue shares of stock. Founders’ stock means the shares of common stock that are issued in the organizational minutes or consent of the board of directors of the company when they are setting up the new business, adopting bylaws and appointing officers. You will not find the terms “founder” or “founders’ stock” defined in the corporations code. “Founders” of companies fall into the class of initial stockholder, director (probably) and officer (probably). <P> Whether “Founder’s Stock” has any rights different from other equity interests in a company depends on the agreements entered into between the Founder and the company, either at the time the stock is issued or later. These rights may include: Under a typical vesting schedule, the stock vests in increments in monthly or quarterly increments over four years; if the Founder leaves the company before the stock is fully vested, the company has the right to buy back the unvested shares at the lower of cost or the then fair market value. <P> Companies that do not exist cannot issue founders stock. Founders stock means the shares of common stock stock that are issued in the organizational minutes or consent of the board of directors of the company when they are setting up the new business, adopting bylaws and appointing officers. This is called “organizing” the corporation. <P> However, many times vesting of founders’ shares will follow a different schedule to that of typical startup employees. First, most founder vesting is not subject to the one year cliff because founders usually have a history working with each other, and know and trust each other. In addition, most founders will start vesting of their shares from the date they actually started providing services to the company. <P> 1 Vesting starts now. 2 Most founder vesting is not subject to the one year cliff because founders should already know and trust each other. 3 Thus, most founders will start vesting their shares from the date they actually started providing services to the company. 4 Acceleration clause. Even though the class is common stock, founders can negotiate special vesting and other terms as part of their stock restriction agreement upon venture investment. Here are some typical special terms for founder’s stock: 1 Negligible par value. <P> A founder share buyback agreement is like vesting for stock options. Based upon some defined schedule and conditions, the company has the right to buyback some, or all, of your shares. Founder Share Buyback Agreement. The most frequently used method to address equitable division of the equity among founders, particularly if not addressed at the founding of the company, is to make the founders shares subject to buyback by the company. Before I discuss the mechanics, let me clarify what this means. <P> The term “founder” and “founders’ stock” are not legal terms, rather, they are terms of art describing a certain class of early participants of a company and their ownership interests. You will not find the terms “founder” or “founders’ stock” defined in the corporations code. “Founders” of companies fall into the class of initial stockholder, director (probably) and officer (probably). | Founders' shares are shares held (or originally held) by the founders of a company. |

what is myelosuppression | <P> Most chemotherapy patients experience myelosuppression as a side effect. Patients on chemotherapy will often be given regular blood tests to check their health. Myelosuppression is a reduction in the activity of bone marrow, resulting in decreased numbers of red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells. <P> To that end, sometimes myelosuppression is treated in a prophylactic manner—meaning before it begins, sometimes by using granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) which can sometimes reduce the severity of the distress on the bone marrow from cancer treatment. <P> Myelosuppression occurs when the bone marrow makes too few blood cells to replace the spent blood cells. Myelosuppression is not a painful condition, but it is a serious one, can it can lead to fatigue, excessive bleeding, or an increased vulnerability to certain infections. <P> Simply defined, myelosuppression is defined as the bone marrow making too few blood cells to replace the blood cells that have worn out. It doesn't hurt—a person with myelosuppression does not feel any specific pain from this condition. <P> A decrease in red blood cells is the most common type of myelosuppression experienced by chemotherapy patients. This type of bone marrow suppression is referred to as anemia. Lowered production of white blood cells is also fairly common among cancer patients. <P> Myelosuppression as a Side Effect of Chemotherapy. Myelosuppression, sometimes called bone marrow suppression, is a common side effect of chemotherapy that is characterized by a decrease in blood cell production. Three different kinds of blood cells are produced in the body's bone marrow – red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. <P> To that end, sometimes myelosuppression is treated in a prophylactic manner—meaning before it begins. This can be achieved by using the likes of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) which can sometimes reduce the severity of the distress on the bone marrow from cancer treatment. | Sometimes called bone marrow suppression, is a common side effect of chemotherapy that is characterized by a decrease in blood cell production. |
what gases are considered greenhouse gases | <P> Many greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide, while others are synthetic. Those that are man-made include the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) , hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and Perfluorocarbons (PFCs), as well as sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6). As a greenhouse gas, the higher concentration of water vapor is then able to absorb more thermal IR energy radiated from the Earth, thus further warming the atmosphere. The warmer atmosphere can then hold more water vapor and so on and so on. This is referred to as a 'positive feedback loop'. <P> Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, which makes the Earth warmer. People are adding several types of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, and each gas's effect on climate change depends on three main factors: People produce larger amounts of some greenhouse gases than others. Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas you hear people talk about the most. That's because we produce more carbon dioxide than any other greenhouse gas, and it's responsible for most of the warming. <P> A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Without greenhouse gases, the average temperature of Earth's surface would be about 15 °C (27 °F) colder than the present average of 14 °C (57 °F). A number of technologies remove greenhouse gases emissions from the atmosphere. Most widely analysed are those that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, either to geologic formations such as bio-energy with carbon capture and storage and carbon dioxide air capture, or to the soil as in the case with biochar. <P> Water Vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, which is why it is addressed here first. However, changes in its concentration is also considered to be a result of climate feedbacks related to the warming of the atmosphere rather than a direct result of industrialization. As a greenhouse gas, the higher concentration of water vapor is then able to absorb more thermal IR energy radiated from the Earth, thus further warming the atmosphere. The warmer atmosphere can then hold more water vapor and so on and so on. This is referred to as a 'positive feedback loop'. <P> A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs infrared radiation (IR) and radiates heat in all directions. Greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere absorb IR from the sun and release it. Some of the heat released reaches the earth, along with heat from the sun that has penetrated the atmosphere. <P> Greenhouse gases absorb reflected sun energy, making the Earth's atmosphere warmer. A lot of the sun’s energy reaches the ground directly, and a portion is reflected by the ground back into space. Some gases, when present in the atmosphere, absorb that reflected energy and redirect it back to Earth as heat. The gases responsible for this are called greenhouse gases, as they play a similar role as the clear plastic or glass covering a greenhouse. Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas. It is produced from the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity (for example, coal-fired power plants) and to power vehicles. The cement manufacturing process produces a lot of carbon dioxide. <P> A greenhouse gas (GHG) is any gas in the atmosphere that takes in (absorbs) and gives off (emits) radiation in the heat (infrared) wavelength range. Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect, which results in increased temperatures on Earth. But greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb some of the infrared radiation energy and “trap” it in the lower atmosphere. Less heat radiates into space, and the Earth is warmer. Many greenhouse gases occur naturally. Carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide are naturally present in Earth’s atmosphere. <P> Behind the struggle to address global warming and climate change lies the increase in greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. A greenhouse gas is any gaseous compound in the atmosphere that is capable of absorbing infrared radiation, thereby trapping and holding heat in the atmosphere. By increasing the heat in the atmosphere, greenhouse gases are responsible for the greenhouse effect, which ultimately leads to global warming. How greenhouse gases affect global warming. The gases in the atmosphere that absorb radiation are known as greenhouse gases (sometimes abbreviated as GHG) because they are largely responsible for the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect, in turn, is one of the leading causes of | Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. |

Please call Customer Service at (800) 325-1121 to schedule Walk-Through service drop off. <P> RE: How much does PSA grading cost for baseball cards? I have a bundle of '71 Topps and am thinking about getting them graded. Anyone know how much it would cost for a car? a dozen? a hundred? Im not sure how much it coast to get it done, but I do know that if you get a good grading on your card it can triple the value...sometimes more. My guess is that it's probably about 5 bucks a card cause otherwise everyone would send all there star player cards off to get graded. <P> Even when we buy a card that is professionally graded-we still grade the card ourselves. For example, if PSA graded a card ExMt and we feel that it should be Nr/Mt-we will pay the NrMt price. If we agree, with the grade-we may pay a few bucks more (seldom more the cost of the grading!). Quite often we will remove the under graded cards from the PSA case to allow us to sell them for more money. <P> (Autographed Cards: 5 business days) Any card with a declared value of $5,000 - $9,999 must be submitted at this service level or higher. This includes autographed cards. Walk-Through Service is PSA’s super priority service for those cards you need to have graded and returned right away.

Please call Customer Service at (800) 325-1121 to schedule Walk-Through service drop off. <P> Some people-who are looking to sell their collections-have been told that baseball cards are worth more when they are graded. The professional card grading companies such as PSA, SCG & Beckett love to make this claim, as it is a justification for charging $5 to $15 to grade a common card! The real cost to have a card graded is usually $14 to $17 per card when you consider the overpriced shipping and insurance charges. For example, if PSA graded a card ExMt and we feel that it should be Nr/Mt-we will pay the NrMt price. If we agree, with the grade-we may pay a few bucks more (seldom more the cost of the grading!). Quite often we will remove the under graded cards from the PSA case to allow us to sell them for more money. <P> 1 Autographed card grading and authentication costs $25. 2 This applies for any autographed card with a declared value under $500. 3 Autographed cards with a declared value over $500 must be submitted under higher service levels. 4 A regular service costs $17 while a premium service for card grading costs $400. 1 Depending on the service selected, grading can range anywhere from the same day to as long as 45+ business days. 2 Extra costs may be incurred for additional services on top of the card grading service. 3 Custom encapsulation costs $5 while re-holder or re-encapsulation of PSA graded card costs $5 to $10. <P> 1 Shop around for the rates of PSA card grading so that you will have an idea of how much money you need to prepare for the service beforehand. 2 It will take time for card grading to be accomplished. 3 Familiarize yourself with the duration or how many business days are given for PSA card grading. 1 Depending on the service selected, grading can range anywhere from the same day to as long as 45+ business days. 2 Extra costs may be incurred for additional services on top of the card grading service. 3 Custom encapsulation costs $5 while re-holder or re-encapsulation of PSA graded card costs $5 to $10. <P> Tips to know. 1 Shop around for the rates of PSA card grading so that you will have an idea of how much money you need to prepare for the service beforehand. 2 It will take time for card grading to be accomplished. 3 Familiarize yourself with the duration or how many business days are given for PSA card grading. 1 Depending on the service selected, grading can range anywhere from the same day to as long as 45+ business days. 2 Extra costs may be incurred for additional services on top of the card grading service. 3 Custom encapsulation costs $5 while re-holder or re-encapsulation of PSA graded card costs $5 to $10. | $14 to $17 |
when did the vietnam war agreement happen | <P> End of the War. Fighting between South Vietnamese and Communists continued despite the peace agreement until North Vietnam launched an offensive in early 1975. South Vietnam's requests for aid were denied by the U.S. Congress, and after Thieu abandoned the northern half of the country to the advancing Communists, a panic ensued. <P> The Vietnam War The Bitter End 1969 - 1975 1969 January 1, 1969 - Henry Cabot Lodge, former American ambassador to South Vietnam, is nominated by President-elect Nixon to be the senior U.S negotiator at the Paris peace talks. <P> From 1950, the U.S started to support South Korea in the war against the Communist North backed by China and USSR as well as send military aid to France in its war effort in French Indochina with the goal of containing communism spread. <P> In 1969, when the number of U.S. military personnel in South Vietnam had reached 540,000, Nixon announced a modest troop withdrawal. During 1969 the Paris peace talks continued with the NLF, North Vietnamese, and South Vietnamese, but little progress was made. <P> In short, the Vietnam war started as a result of U.S strategy of containment during the Cold War, which aimed to prevent the spread of communism throughout the world. <P> Thieu labels the terms tantamount to surrender for South Vietnam. January 23, 1973 - President Nixon announces that an agreement has been reached which will end the war and bring peace with honor.. January 27, 1973 - The Paris Peace Accords are signed by the U.S., North Vietnam, South Vietnam and the Viet Cong. <P> In contrast to the air attacks on North Vietnam, the U.S.-South Vietnamese war effort in the south was fought on the ground, largely under the command of General Westmoreland, in coordination with the government of General Nguyen Van Thieu in Saigon. <P> Vietnam was formally reunified in July, 1976, and Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City. U.S. casualties in Vietnam during the era of direct U.S. involvement (1961–72) were more than 50,000 dead; South Vietnamese dead were estimated at more than 400,000, and Viet Cong and North Vietnamese at over 900,000. | January 23, 1973 |
different types of precious stones | <P> Stones are normally classified into two categories, precious stones and semi-precious stones. The value of a stone is gauged on these types. Many collectors prefer the rare to the beautiful. The precious stones are the emeralds, diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. The most popular of these are zircon, opal, amethyst, turquoise, aquamarine, jade, coral, garnet, and malachite. The different colors and varieties of the semi-precious stones make them very valuable to the jewelry industry. <P> Answer by Susie Dresh. Confidence votes 20.6K. A gemstone or gem, also called a precious or semi-precious stone, is a piece of attractive mineral, which-when cut and polished-is used to make jewelry or other adornments. Gemstones are classified into different groups, species, and varieties. For example, ruby is the red variety of the species corundum, while any other color of corundum is considered sapphire. <P> A few gemstones are used as gems in the crystal or other form in which they are found. Most however, are cut and polished for usage as jewelry. The picture to the right is of a rural, commercial cutting operation in Thailand. This small factory cuts thousands of carats of sapphire annually. Even the same gemstone can occur in many different colors: sapphires show different shades of blue and pink and fancy sapphires exhibit a whole range of other colors from yellow to orange-pink, the latter called padparadscha sapphire . <P> Gem hunting is a geological lottery and all the way through olden times, we have heard about humans adorning themselves with jewelry. During the primitive times, it was first made from bits of bone, shell and gleaming rocks. Soon after, it was with precious stones and gems set on silver, copper and gold. Knowing about the different types of precious stone and equipping yourself with information related to it means something great, for the reason that, they are rich in knowledge, diverse in their character and yet unique in all means. <P> Alexandrite is a variety of chrysoberyl that displays a colour change depending on light conditions and the angle it is view from (pleochroism).The ideal colour change would be fine emerald green to fine purplish red, but this is rare and expensive. Quartz is a crystalline rock or mineral composed of silicon dioxide. Quartz is the second most common mineral in the Earth's continental crust and found in all types of geological environment. There are 49 variety's, a number of which are gemstones, some of which are very beautiful and very rare. <P> A gemstone or gem (also called a fine gem, jewel, or a precious or semi-precious stone) is a piece of mineral crystal, which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments. Even the same gemstone can occur in many different colors: sapphires show different shades of blue and pink and fancy sapphires exhibit a whole range of other colors from yellow to orange-pink, the latter called padparadscha sapphire . <P> TYPES OF STONE: The familiar stone types that are used today are identified through four categories: Sedimentary, Metamorphic, Igneous and Man-made stone. I. Sedimentary stone came from organic elements such as glaciers, rivers, wind, oceans, and plants. <P> The lesser expensive jewelry are often made with semi-precious stones. The most popular of these are zircon, opal, amethyst, turquoise, aquamarine, jade, coral, garnet, and malachite. The different colors and varieties of the semi-precious stones make them very valuable to the jewelry industry. <P> Separating precious stones into these types of groups helps to identify their composition, their color, and their origin. They also have a refractive index, dispersion, specific gravity, hardness, cleavage, fracture, and luster. Each of these features is important when assessing the value of the stone. The most popular of these are zircon, opal, amethyst, turquoise, aquamarine, jade, coral, garnet, and malachite. The different colors and varieties of the semi-precious stones make them very valuable to the jewelry industry. <P> Enstatite is a rare gemstone that belongs to the pyroxene group of minerals. It is typically brown-green with a vitreous luster and is a collector's gem. Sphene. Sphene is a brilliant yellowish-green, green or brown gemstone of high luster, unique color shades and, with brilliant cut, an intense fire. Spodumene is a relatively new mineral to science, with gem varieties discovered only in the last 120 years. Spodumene occurs in white, gray, pink, lilac and green. Fluorite. Fluorite is a mineral with a veritable plethora of brilliant colors that include purple, blue, green, yellow, colorless, brown, pink and orange. | Emeralds, diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. |
how long does it take to cook a pork loin | <P> Roast the pork for 10 minutes: Set the pork in the pan. (It's fine if your pork tenderloin is a little long for the pan; just bend it to fit as we did here.) Return the pan to the oven. Roast for 10 minutes. Flip the pork, reduce the heat, and roast another 10 to 15 minutes: Flip the pork to the other side. <P> 1 Place pork tenderloin in roasting pan. 2 Roast for 30 minutes. 3 Turn the pork over and roast for another 25 minutes. 4 The pork tenderloin is ready when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). <P> Up to 27 Minutes Per Pound on the Stove. In general, cooking the pork tenderloin over high heat for about 20 to 27 minutes per pound brings it to the required 145 F while preserving its inner juiciness. Whether pan-cooking the tenderloin on a stovetop, broiling it in an oven or cooking it on an indoor electric grill, the technique remains the same. <P> 1 Remove pork from oven, lightly cover with foil, and let rest 5-10 minutes to redistribute internal juices. 2 Roast should be done, very slightly pink in the center, and very moist. 3 After resting 10 minutes, the roast should reach a safe 145-150 degrees. <P> 1 Place the tenderloin in a roasting pan. 2 Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). 3 Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before serving. <P> 4. Remove your pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes. Put your meat on a cutting board, or a platter, and cover with tin foil to let the meat rest before carving it up. It'll be much juicer and more tender if you let it sit for a couple of minutes. <P> Cook Pork Tenderloin to 145 F. According to the USDA, pork tenderloin must be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. After cooking, remove the meat from the heat and rest it for at least 3 minutes, which raises its temperature a bit more. <P> 1 Roast for 30 minutes. 2 Turn the pork over and roast for another 25 minutes. 3 The pork tenderloin is ready when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). 4 Remove the pork from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving. | 20 to 27 minutes per pound |

region that includes the island of trinidad | <P> Islands of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. Due to recent separation from South America these island's flora and fauna reflect the ecology of equatorial South America more than any other Windward Island where biotic endemism is common. The two islands have a combined land area of 5,128 km2. Trinidad is currently separated from the mainland at its closest points, in both the north and the south, by distances of approximately 12 km, while Tobago lies another 30 km to the north-east. <P> The Caribbean, long referred to as the West Indies, includes more than 7,000 islands; of those, 13 are independent island countries (shown in red on the map), and some are dependencies or overseas territories of other nations. In geographical terms the Caribbean area includes the Caribbean Sea and all of the islands located to the southeast of the Gulf of Mexico, east of Central America and Mexico, and to the north of South America. <P> In a wider sense, the mainland countries of Belize, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana are also included. Geopolitically, the Caribbean islands are usually regarded as a subregion of North America and are organized into 30 territories including sovereign states, overseas departments, and dependencies. 1 Politically, the Caribbean may be centred on socio-economic groupings found in the region. 2 For example, the bloc known as the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) contains the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, the Republic of Suriname in South America, and Belize in Central America as full members. <P> Hispaniola contains two countries--Haiti in the west and the Dominican Republic in the east. To the east and south of the Greater Antilles are the smaller islands of the Lesser Antilles, which include Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Leeward and Windward Island groups. The Caribbean also known as The West Indies are a collection of tropical islands that form a cultural region at the western edge of the North Atlantic Ocean. The islands form a long chain, called an archipelago, which separates the Caribbean Sea from the rest of the Atlantic. <P> Trinidad and Tobago is the largest LNG exporter to the United States. The Atlantic LNG Company of Trinidad and Tobago currently operates three LNG trains on the islands. The Atlantic plant is considered the largest single-train plant ever built, and the first LNG producer in the Latin America and Caribbean region. While many of the islands' economies contracted in 2002, Trinidad and Tobago and the Dominican Republic's economies continued to grow, with real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates of 2.6% and 4.1%, respectively. Over the past decade, the Caribbean states have made efforts to integrate their economies. <P> Various islands in the Caribbean that were colonies of the United Kingdom, including Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica, and those on the Leeward and Windward Islands, came together to form the Federation, with its capital in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

parsimony definition evolutionary psychology | <P> Phylogenetic systematics, a.k.a. evolutionary trees : Reconstructing trees: Parsimony. We just mentioned that the principle of parsimony is often useful in reconstructing evolutionary trees. Hypothesis 1 requires six evolutionary changes and Hypothesis 2 requires seven evolutionary changes, with a bony skeleton evolving independently, twice. Although both fit the available data, the parsimony principle says that Hypothesis 1 is better since it does not hypothesize unnecessarily complicated changes. <P> The parsimony principle is basic to all science and tells us to choose the simplest scientific explanation that fits the evidence. In terms of tree-building, that means that, all other things being equal, the best hypothesis is the one that requires the fewest evolutionary changes. Hypothesis 1 requires six evolutionary changes and Hypothesis 2 requires seven evolutionary changes, with a bony skeleton evolving independently, twice. Although both fit the available data, the parsimony principle says that Hypothesis 1 is better since it does not hypothesize unnecessarily complicated changes. <P> In general, parsimony is the principle that the simplest explanation that can explain the data is to be preferred. In the analysis of phylogeny, parsimony means that a hypothesis of relationships that requires the smallest number of character changes is most likely to be correct. <P> Parsimony (Molecular Biology). Parsimony is one of the principles of phylogenetic tree reconstruction in which the phylogeny of a group of species or genes is inferred to be the branching pattern that requires the smallest number of evolutionary changes (1). The merit of using the parsimony principle is that we can infer the amino acid or nucleotide sequences of all the intermediate stages in the continuous lineage between the ancestor and the present species. The intermediate stages may be trustworthy, however, only when closely-related genes are compared. <P> Compare with Occam's razor. Example sentences. 1 He is remembered as the father of the medieval principle of parsimony, or economy, that advises anyone confronted with multiple explanations or models of a phenomenon to choose the simplest explanation first. <P> In science, parsimony is preference for the least complicated explanation for an observation. This is generally regarded as good when judging hypotheses. Occam's Razor also states the principle of parsimony. In systematics, maximum parsimony is a cladistic optimality criterion based on the principle of parsimony. Under maximum parsimony, the preferred phylogenetic tree is the tree that requires the least number of evolutionary changes. In biogeography, parsimony is used to infer ancient migrations of species or populations by observing the geographic distribution and relationships of existing organisms <P> Within the realm of evolutionary biology, the Principle of Parsimony actually takes on a special meaning. To determine the phylogeny of a newly discovered species, the phylogenetic tree with the fewest branches is most likely the correct relationship between all of the species in the tree. In other words, when making a hypothesis about something, it is probably not a convoluted and complicated relationship that is causing the problem. In evolution, the Principle of Parsimony is very important for scientists working on the phylogeny of a species. <P> The theory that the simplest explanation of an event will be the preferred explanation of those who are a part of it.

when do pomegranate trees bloom | <P> Choose a variety of pomegranate. Punica granatum is a small deciduous tree. It will grow to about 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) tall, with orange flowers during the summer season. The dwarf variety Nana will grow shorter, to about 1 metre (3.2 feet) and are the best for growing in containers. Pick a spot that that gets plenty of sunshine. Pomegranate trees love sunshine and will only fruit reliably when they get enough sun. If you do not have a spot in your yard that gets constant sun throughout the day, pick the spot that gets the least amount of shade. <P> Immature pomegranate trees – those 3 years of age and younger –typically don’t bloom. If they do, they typically drop any fruit that forms. If your pomegranate tree isn’t blooming, it may be because it’s too young. In this case, fertilize the tree in January with a high-bloom formula, such as 6-12-12. Give the young pomegranate tree 1 pound of fertilizer in November and again in March. Mature trees require 4 1/2 pounds during the same time periods <P> As the tree matures, it will begin to produce fruit that matures on the tree; generally, fruit needs about six or seven months on the tree to be ready for picking.

what is vaseline | <P> The first known reference to the name Vaseline was by the inventor of petroleum jelly, Robert Chesebrough in his U.S. patent for the process of making petroleum jelly (U.S. Patent 127,568) in 1872. I, Robert Chesebrough, have invented a new and useful product from petroleum which I have named Vaseline.... Chesebrough took samples of the rod wax back to Brooklyn, extracted the usable petroleum jelly, and began manufacturing the medicinal product he called Vaseline. Vaseline was made by the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company until the company was purchased by Unilever in 1987. <P> First, a quick primer on where petroleum products like Vaseline come from, and why they’re not eco-friendly: Petroleum jelly is basically a byproduct of the oil industry. It’s a leftover residue created during the refinery of crude oil, and as such, isn’t a sustainable resource, according to many. I am not a rocket scientist, but I do know that every product effects each person differently. Vaseline is the only product that helps with my fever blisters. It may not work for you,but take in consideration people that use the internet and don’t know. Aquaphor is 50% petroleum jelly. <P> Use Vaseline to soften rough skin. While Vaseline is not a moisturizer, it can be used to soften skin and lock in moisture on dry skin. You can use Vaseline as a spot-treatment for dry-skin, especially during winter, helping to protect skin exposed to adverse weather conditions. 1 Apply Vaseline to your elbows or knees to help moisturize the skin and rid the areas of any ashy texture or appearance. 2 If you have callouses or rough spots on your feet, apply a thin coat of Vaseline at night then slip on some clean socks. <P> Vaseline Jelly works by creating a sealing barrier between cells in dry or damaged skin which locks in moisture and speeds up your skin’s natural recovery process, helping it to heal from within. Only Vaseline Intensive Care lotions are infused with rich moisturizers and triple-purified healing micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly. This fast-absorbing, non greasy formulation absorbs deeply to help heal dry skin deep down. <P> Petroleum jelly, petrolatum, white petrolatum, soft paraffin or multi-hydrocarbon, CAS number 8009-03-8, is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons (with carbon numbers mainly higher than 25), originally promoted as a topical ointment for its healing properties. Petroleum jelly is a non-polar hydrocarbon hydrophobic (water-repelling) and insoluble in water. Glycerol is not a hydrocarbon. It is an alcohol that is strongly hydrophilic (water-attracting): by continuously absorbing moisture from the air, it produces the feeling of wetness on the skin. <P> Vaseline Jelly is the original wonder jelly. For over 140 years, it has been helping to keep skin healthy and looking beautiful. Vaseline uses the highest quality ingredients and a proprietary triple purification process involving distillation, de-aeration, and filtration. Only Vaseline Intensive Care lotions are infused with rich moisturizers and triple-purified healing micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly. This fast-absorbing, non greasy formulation absorbs deeply to help heal dry skin deep down. <P> Vaseline—or in its generic form, petroleum jelly—is a by-product of the oil refining process. It forms on the bottom of oil rigs and is unwanted because it can cause them to malfunction. Of all the things petroleum jelly is, it is definitely not eco-friendly, so if that’s your bag, be aware. But that doesn't mean the product itself is dirty. It goes through a refining process, and Vaseline—the brand—is triple purified. Can't vouch for off-brand purity though. <P> 5. Do not use Vaseline as a moisturizer. If you’ve been recommended to use a moisturizer by a dermatologist, use a moisturizing lotion, not Vaseline. If your skin is cleaned thoroughly before applying some Vaseline, it can be effective at locking in moisture, but it will not moisturize your skin. 1 Apply Vaseline to your elbows or knees to help moisturize the skin and rid the areas of any ashy texture or appearance. 2 If you have callouses or rough spots on your feet, apply a thin coat of Vaseline at night then slip on some clean socks. <P> While Vaseline can be used as a lubricant, it can also be used as a moisture insulator for local skin conditions characterized by tissue dehydration. Vaseline can help protect minor cuts and burns.

what does an allergy do to you | <P> First, a person is exposed to an allergen by inhaling it, swallowing it, or getting it on their skin. After a person is exposed to the allergen, a series of events create the allergic reaction 1 : The body starts to produce a specific type of antibody, called IgE, to bind the allergen. Other exposures can cause different allergic reactions: 1 Food allergies. 2 An allergic reaction to food allergens can also cause stomach cramps, vomiting, or diarrhea. 3 Insect stings. 4 The allergic reaction to a sting from a bee or other insect causes local swelling, redness, and pain. <P> An allergy is the immune system’s response to a foreign substance that’s not typically harmful to your body. These foreign substances are called allergens. They can include certain foods, pollen, or pet dander. They elicit a response from your immune system. Your immune system’s job is to keep you healthy by fighting infection and other harmful pathogens. <P> Food allergies can trigger swelling, hives, nausea, fatigue, and more. It may take awhile for a person to realize that they have a food allergy. If you have a serious reaction after a meal and you’re not sure why, see your doctor. They will be able to find the exact cause of your reaction or refer you to a specialist. These foreign substances are called allergens. They can include certain foods, pollen, or pet dander. They elicit a response from your immune system. Your immune system’s job is to keep you healthy by fighting infection and other harmful pathogens. <P> You have an allergy when your body overreacts to things that don't cause problems for most people. These things are called allergens. Your body's overreaction to the allergens is what causes symptoms. Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis (say: “rine-EYE-tis”), is an allergic reaction to pollen. Symptoms of hay fever are seasonal, meaning you will feel worse when the pollens that affect you are at their highest levels. Hay fever is the most common form of allergy. It affects 1 in 5 people <P> It is extremely important that you adhere to this schedule. The allergist will also keep track of your symptoms to see how well the shots are working for you. The only reason to have further skin testing is if the allergy shots are not working and there is concern that you may have developed more allergies. <P> Allergies, by definition, are a reaction to the body seeing something as foreign.. Based on this, any part of your body that comes into direct contact with the environment around us or the things we breathe or ingest can cause an allergic reaction. Allergies also can frequently cause headaches, fatigue and irritability. When you eat a food it does get distributed throughout the body in an allergenic form and can cause allergic reactions in different parts of the body. <P> If you become exposed to an allergen for the first time, your symptoms may be mild. These symptoms may get worse if you repeatedly come into contact with the allergen. Symptoms of a mild allergic reaction can include: 1 hives (itchy red spots on the skin). 2 itching. 3 nasal congestion (known as rhinitis). 4 rash. 5 scratchy throat. <P> Allergy symptoms occur when your immune system overreacts to an allergen—something that usually is harmless, such as plant pollen, dust mites, molds, insect stings or food. If you have an allergy, your immune system acts as if the allergen were dangerous, releasing a chemical called histamine that causes allergy symptoms. Learn about headaches, a common symptom of allergies. If the allergen is something you breathe in from the air, your reaction will most likely affect your eyes, nose and lungs. If it's something you eat, it may affect your mouth, stomach and intestines. Food allergies also can cause skin rashes or even asthma symptoms.

which cranial nerves contain taste | <P> The oculomotor nerve controls several muscles of the eye. As with all parasympathetic cranial nerves, its signals originate in the brain cells, or neurons, in the brainstem and travel down long, thin extensions called nerve fibers. These nerve fibers connect with their target organ. Of all the parasympathetic cranial nerves, the vagus nerve, which contains about 80 percent of all parasympathetic fibers in the body, is the most important. <P> Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), in contrast to spinal nerves (which emerge from segments of the spinal cord). Cranial nerves exchange information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck. Spinal nerves emerge sequentially from the spinal cord with the spinal nerve closest to the head (C1) emerging in the space above the first cervical vertebra. The cranial nerves emerge from the central nervous system above this level. Each cranial nerve is paired and is present on both sides. Depending on definition in humans there are twelve or thirteen cranial nerves pairs, which are assigned Roman numerals I–XII, sometimes also including cranial nerve zero. <P> Many of the cranial nerves with nuclei within the brain stem contain sensory and motor neurone components. The sensory fibre components have their cell bodies located in ganglia outside the central nervous system and the motor fibre element have their cell bodies within the central nervous system. The glossopharyngeal nerve is part of the group of cranial nerves responsible for innervation of structures derived from the branchial arches. This nerve innervates structures related to the third branchial arch. <P> Cranial nerves are those nerves which arise from the brain and brain stem rather than the spinal cord. Nerves arising from the spinal cord are the peripheral nerves. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves and these pairs of nerves passage through foramina in the skull, either individually or in groups.

when flexing the hip what muscles shorten | <P> Found deep in the abdominal cavity, they are some of the strongest muscles in the body, notes Stephanie E. Siegrist, MD, an orthopedic surgeon in Rochester, N.Y., and spokeswoman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. You put a lot of stress on your hip flexors when you sprint or kick. Hip Flexor Pain: It's All in the Hips. To avoid hip flexor pain, you should pay more attention to these muscles, Dr. Siegrist explains. When you are seated, your knees are bent and your hip muscles are flexed and often tighten up or become shortened. “Because we spend so much of our time in a seated position with the hip flexed, the hip flexor has the potential to shorten up <P> reversal of muscle action (example 2). If you lie on your back and bring your knees up toward your chest, the hip flexors flex your hips, and the more movable femur (the insertion) moves toward the more stable chest (origin). normal resting length of a muscle. - the length of a muscle when it is unstimulated-that is when there are no forces or stresses placed upon it-a muscle is capable of being shortened to approximately one-half of its normal resting length (a muscle that is 6 inches long can shorten to 3 inches). •. <P> If you are lying flat on your back, the hip flexors can either lift your leg or lift your torso into a sit-up. In yoga, Navasana (Boat Pose) is especially good at strengthening the iliopsoas because it demands that the muscle isometrically contract to hold up the weight of the legs and torso. Similarly, if the hip is constantly kept in a flexed position—like sitting—for hours every day, day after day, the hip flexors will shorten and shrink, limiting your ability to fully extend (straighten) the hip. <P> This means that all of these muscles are capable of hip flexion up to the level of the hip. This is simply a function of the principles of mechanical leverage. The psoas and the iliacus are different. The psoas has its origin on the entire lumbar spine, the iliacus on the posterior of the ilium. As is often cliche, cliché the key is in the, differences not the. Similarities THE, tfl rectus femoris and, sartorius all have insertion at the iliac. Crest this means that all of these muscles are capable of hip flexion up to the level of the. Hip this is simply a function of the principles of mechanical. leverage <P> Located deep in the front of the hip and connecting the leg, pelvis, and abdomen, the hip flexors — surprise, surprise— flex the hip. But despite being some of the most powerful muscles in our bodies (with a clearly important role), it’s easy to neglect our poor hip flexors— often without even knowing it. <P> The answer might have little to do with your back or knees. The pain could be linked to your hips, in particular a group of muscles called the hip flexors that are in use when we climb stairs, run, dance and play soccer and even do resistance training. When you strike your heel on the ground, the muscles that control the arch of the foot are going to be inhibited because the hips are tight. As your foot rolls forward, it will pronate (roll inward). That can cause shin splints and plantar fasciitis (inflammation in the arch). <P> Standing Phase: Muscle Activation. Muscles activated in the standing phase of the squat are the same muscles that are used in the lowering phase. However, during the standing phase of the squat, these muscles shorten as they contract, producing a concentric contraction. As you lower into a squat, these muscles contract as they lengthen to control your speed. The knee extensors -- rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and vastus lateralis -- contract as they lengthen to control your knees as they bend. <P> 1. The muscles of the pelvis and thigh primarily create movement at the _____ (hip) and the ________ (knee) joints. Two groups in ______ region while three groups make up ______. 2.

what is the difference between genus and species names? | <P> is that phylum is (biology|taxonomy) a rank in the classification of organisms, below kingdom and above class; also called a division, especially in describing plants; a taxon at that rank while genus is (biology|taxonomy) a rank in the classification of organisms, below family and above species; a taxon at that rank. <P> • Genus is the first name, and the species is the second name of a scientific name of any organism. • Genus ranks higher compared to species in the hierarchy of taxonomy. • Two fertile animals from one species can produce a fertile progeny, whereas two animals from one genus could or could not do so. These two are the lowest considerable taxonomic levels, but rank above subspecies or breeds or types. However, many used to confuse the two terms, genus and species. Before understanding the difference between the two, it is important to know the meanings of genus and species, and this article follows that. A comparison is presented following the information about the two subjects <P> is that genus is (biology|taxonomy) a rank in the classification of organisms, below family and above species; a taxon at that rank while species is (biology|taxonomy) a rank in the classification of organisms, below genus and above subspecies; a taxon at that rank. is that genus is (biology|taxonomy) a rank in the classification of organisms, below family and above species; a taxon at that rank while species is a type or kind of thing. <P> Best Answer: Species (1) The lowest taxonomic rank, and the most basic unit or category of biological classification. (2) An individual belonging to a group of organisms (or the entire group itself) having common characteristics and (usually) are capable of mating with one another. Supplement A species is given a two-part name: the generic name and the specific name (or specific epithet). For example, Allium cepa (commonly known as onion) http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary... Genus (general) A class or group with common attributes. (biology) A taxonomic category ranking used in biological classification that is below a family and above a species level, and includes group(s) of species that are structurally similar or phylogenetically related. Supplement In binomial nomenclature, the genus is used as the first word of a scientific name <P> Genus vs Species. Although both genus and species are referred to state a particular animal or plant or any organism, there are differences between the two that anyone should know. In biological classification, the genus comes first followed by species, and the species is never stated alone. These two are the lowest considerable taxonomic levels, but rank above subspecies or breeds or types. However, many used to confuse the two terms, genus and species. Before understanding the difference between the two, it is important to know the meanings of genus and species, and this article follows that. A comparison is presented following the information about the two subjects <P> The first name is the genus followed by the name of their species. For example Homo sapiens refer to human beings. The word Homo refers to genus and the word sapiens refers to species. Let us understand certain differences between genus and species. Species: Species is defined as the largest group organisms that can interbreed to produce a fertile offspring. Organisms having similar set of DNA and similar physical and morphological attributes are said to be of the same species. <P> Homo is the genus. Sapiens is the species. No two organisms with the same genus can produce fertile off-spring, so a human couldn't mate with something else that was Homo, but we could with something that was sapiens. That's why a mule is non-fertile-because horses and donkeys only share the same genus. the difference between a genus and a species is where a species is a type of an organism and a genus is one specific organism alone. 5 people found this useful. | Genus is the first name, and the species is the second name of a scientific name of any organism.

outdoor kitchen cost calculator | <P> An outdoor kitchen can become the centerpiece of your warm weather entertaining. When designing an outdoor kitchen the sky is the limit in terms of design, but that doesn't mean that's true in terms of your budget! Here are a few things to consider that will affect the price you pay to install an outdoor kitchen. The centerpiece of most outdoor kitchens is the grill! Since an outdoor kitchen is as much about ambiance as it is about function, a larger refrigerator can be an eyesore. A small stainless steel fridge for drinks, or food waiting to be grilled is usually the perfect companion piece. Some people want a sink as part of their outdoor kitchen and some do not. <P> 1 A modest outdoor kitchen can cost from $3,000 to $17,000. 2 On the other hand, a more elaborate type with top quality materials and appliances can cost more than $50,000. 3 If you think about it for a second, an outdoor kitchen will be no different than a kitchen within a traditional home. 1 According to Landscapingnetwork.com, a basic outdoor kitchen usually costs between $2,000 and $10,000, while a luxury one would cost around $50,000 to $100,000. 2 MSN claims that the average outdoor kitchen is going to cost you $12,000 to $15,000 <P> $50,000 - $100,000. Appliances The biggest ticket item in an outdoor kitchen is the grill. There are many manufacturers that offer grills at a variety of price points. Some drop-in grills are as affordable as eight hundred dollars, while others can cost more than ten thousand. 1 Stainless steel sink: $100. 2 Refrigerator: $400-1,000. 3 Pro Tip: If you are trying to keep the cost at a reasonable level forgo the sink, refrigerator and side burner. 4 Instead locate the outdoor kitchen near your indoor one so that you can conveniently move between the two. <P> This is why it's difficult to set an overall cost. Most outdoor kitchen projects exclusive of paving and overhead structures will fall into this division of costs: 1 General construction $5,000 to $12,000. 2 Cost and installation of appliances $2,000 to $5,000. 1 Stainless steel sink: $100. 2 Refrigerator: $400-1,000. 3 Pro Tip: If you are trying to keep the cost at a reasonable level forgo the sink, refrigerator and side burner. 4 Instead locate the outdoor kitchen near your indoor one so that you can conveniently move between the two. <P> 1 You may also want to add extra electric, gas, and water lines to your outdoor kitchen. 2 For this, you will also need the services of a plumber and an electrician. 3 A brick countertop or area can cost $300 to $600 per linear foot. 1 According to Landscapingnetwork.com, a basic outdoor kitchen usually costs between $2,000 and $10,000, while a luxury one would cost around $50,000 to $100,000. 2 MSN claims that the average outdoor kitchen is going to cost you $12,000 to $15,000 <P> The kitchen is the most expensive room in the house to remodel so having a calculator to figure the costs for you will help you to plan out how you want your kitchen to be. You can also use our calculator to figure the cost of a home addition such as a sunroom or outdoor kitchen. Adding on to the size of your home is a great way to increase your living space without having to sell your home and move. <P> The cost of an outdoor kitchen will depend largely on its size, the materials you select and the appliances you want installed. A basic outdoor cooking area with a patio, grill and countertop can run a few thousand dollars. While a luxury design with top-of-the-line appliances will cost many times that amount. 1 Stainless steel sink: $100. 2 Refrigerator: $400-1,000. 3 Pro Tip: If you are trying to keep the cost at a reasonable level forgo the sink, refrigerator and side burner. 4 Instead locate the outdoor kitchen near your indoor one so that you can conveniently move between the two. <P> The cost of an outdoor kitchen can vary between $750 for a do it yourself project to well over $100000 for luxury projects. Most outdoor kitchen projects fall under the following three categories. Estimated costs for building an outdoor kitchen. Do it yourself Built in backyard barbecue. Building an outdoor kitchen yourself may be time-consuming, but if you enjoy building projects and take it slowly it can also be fun. | A basic outdoor kitchen usually costs between $2,000 and $10,000, while a luxury one would cost around $50,000 to $100,000. |

Why is it impossible to taste substances with a dry tongue | <P> It seems like an inconsequential illness, but once you get dry mouth, you find out that it is much more serious than you thought. As the name suggests, this illness happens when a person's mouth becomes unusually dry. Medically, this condition is called xerostomia and your teeth and taste buds will suffer. This is because saliva, the substance decreased in a person who has dry mouth, helps maintain proper teeth health. Dry mouth does not only affect a person's mouth. A person's throat can also be damaged by this seemingly harmless condition. During the process of digestion, a persons throat depends significantly on saliva to help it break food down. <P> 1 Damage to the salivary glands, the glands that produce saliva, for example, from radiation to the head and neck and chemotherapy treatments for cancer, can reduce the amount of saliva produced. 2 Nerve damage. 3 Dry mouth can be a result of nerve damage to the head and neck area from an injury or surgery. 1 Nerve damage. 2 Dry mouth can be a result of nerve damage to the head and neck area from an injury or surgery. 3 Dehydration. 4 Conditions that lead to dehydration, such as fever, excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhoea, blood loss and burns can cause dry mouth. 5 Surgical removal of the salivary glands. <P> A person cannot taste his or her food while also losing the ability to digest food through the throat. If you have dry mouth, your tongue will look red and feel dry and raw. A person will also experience a tingling sensation on it at times, which is an indication that the tongue needs hydration from saliva. Dry mouth does not only affect a person's mouth. A person's throat can also be damaged by this seemingly harmless condition. During the process of digestion, a persons throat depends significantly on saliva to help it break food down. <P> If you like, experiment with flavors depending on where you place the food on your tongue. Your sense of smell is closely tied to your sense of taste, too. You also need moisture to smell molecules. This is why dry foods were chosen for this experiment. You can smell/taste a strawberry, for example, before it even touches your tongue! 1 Dry your tongue! 2 Lint-free paper towels are a good choice, but if you'd rather use your shirt or arm or whatever, I'm not going to stop you. 3 Place a sample of dry food on your tongue. 4 You'll get the best results if you have multiple foods available and you close your eyes and have a friend feed you the food. <P> .

On which of the papillaes are the taste buds located? What cranial nerve serves the anteior 2/3 of the tongue? What cranial nerve serves the posterior 1/3 of the tongue? Tast babies tend to favor bland foods, whereas adults tend to like highly seasoned foods. with age, taste buds become less acute and respond more slowly. Thus highly seasonded foods are necessary for adults to experience high palatability. <P> Underestimating the temperature of steaming foods or liquids can often burn your tongue, as well as other areas of the mouth. We'll look at what it does to your taste buds and how it affects your mouth as a whole. Common culprits. Pizza is a big trigger of burns. <P> A coated or white tongue occurs when the surface is colonised by bacteria or fungi, and dead cells become trapped between the small nodules on the tongue. A coated tongue isn't a disease and isn't usually a sign of anything serious. It's usually only temporary. <P> Authored By: Allison DiMatteo. Dry mouth syndrome, also known as xerostomia, is a dry, uncomfortable feeling in your mouth that results from a decrease in the amount of your saliva. Dry mouth syndrome can be temporary or a chronic problem. One or more factors can cause your salivary glands to function improperly and produce a less saliva than normal: Signs and symptoms of dry mouth syndrome include, but are not limited to: 1 A dry, sticky feeling in the mouth or throat. 2 Insufficient saliva. 3 Saliva that feels thick or is stringy. 4 A rough, dry tongue. 5 Sore throat. 6 Bad breath. 7 Difficulty swallowing, chewing or talking. <P> When food is taken into our mouth, it mixes with saliva which aids in mastication or the act of chewing. The teeth grind the food with the help of the tongue. As the food is mechanically broken down, its chemical substances are being detected by receptor taste cells through the taste pores [ 1 ]. The receptors will then be stimulated by its presence and this sends out impulses through the nerves into the brain. <P> Merge this question into. Split and merge into it. Answer by Briesmom. Confidence votes 9. It is impossible to taste substances with a dry tongue because when the tongue is wet, the wetness releases the action of tasting. the tongue has to be wet so that the afferent fibers from the taste buds can send the chemical compounds to the brain to be identified. | when the tongue is wet, the wetness releases the action of tasting.the tongue has to be wet so that the afferent fibers from the taste buds can send the chemical compounds to the brain to be identified. |
variable cost definition economics | <P> Variable costs are costs that vary with output. Generally variable costs increase at a constant rate relative to labor and capital. Variable costs may include wages, utilities, materials used in production, etc. In accounting they also often refer to mixed costs. <P> Thus, the total fixed costs equal Kr. Labor is the variable input, meaning that the amount of labor used varies with the level of output. In fact, in the short run, the only way to vary output is by varying the amount of the variable input. Total cost in economics includes the total opportunity cost of each factor of production as part of its fixed or variable costs. The rate at which total cost changes as the amount produced changes is called marginal cost. <P> Economic Definition of average variable cost. Offline Version: PDF. Term average variable cost Definition: Total variable cost per unit of output, found by dividing total variable cost by the quantity of output. <P> Variable costs are those costs that vary depending on a company's production volume; they rise as production increases and fall as production decreases. Variable costs differ from fixed costs such as rent, advertising, insurance and office supplies, which tend to remain the same regardless of production output. <P> DEFINITION of 'Fixed Cost'. A cost that does not change with an increase or decrease in the amount of goods or services produced. Fixed costs are expenses that have to be paid by a company, independent of any business activity. It is one of the two components of the total cost of a good or service, along with variable cost. Next Up. <P> In economics, average variable cost (AVC) is a firm's variable costs (labor, electricity, etc.) divided by the quantity of output produced. Variable costs are those costs which vary with output. where VC = variable cost, AVC = average variable cost, and Q = quantity of output produced. Average variable cost plus average fixed cost equals average total cost : <P> In economics, total cost is made up of variable costs + fixed costs. Variable costs (VC) are costs that change based on how many goods you produce or how much of a service you use. Fixed costs (FC) are costs that don't change from month to month and don't vary based on activities or the number of goods used. <P> Definition. The Average Variable Cost (AVC) is the total variable cost per unit of output. This is found by dividing Total Variable Cost (TVC) by total output (Q).

what is kidneys fusing | <P> floating kidney nephroptosis. fused kidney a single anomalous organ developed as a result of fusion of the renal anlagen. horseshoe kidney an anomaly in which the right and left kidneys are linked at one end by a band of tissue as a result of fusion of the poles of the renal anlagen. hypermobile kidney nephroptosis. lump kidney cake kidney. Physiology. In an average adult each kidney is about 10 cm long, 5 cm wide, and 2.5 cm thick, and weighs 120 to 175 g. In this small area the kidney contains over a million microscopic filtering units, the nephrons. <P> Crossed fused renal ectopia essentially refers to an anomaly where the kidneys are fused and located on the same side of the midline. <P> An ectopic kidney may cross over and become fused with the other kidney. Some kidneys climb toward the rib cage, but one may cross over so that both kidneys are on the same side of the body. When a crossover occurs, the two kidneys may grow together and become fused. An ectopic kidney is a birth defect in which a kidney is located in an abnormal position. In most cases, people with an ectopic kidney have no complaints. In other cases, the ectopic kidney may create urinary problems, such as urine blockage, infection, or urinary stones <P> Abstract. Crossed fused renal ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly of the urinary system where one kidney crosses over to opposite side and the parenchyma of the two kidneys fuse. Herein, we present an atypical CFRE case whose renal anatomy does not exactly match any of the already defined CFRE types. Introduction. Crossed fused renal ectopia (CFRE) is a markedly rare congenital malformation of the urinary system where one of the kidneys crosses the midline to become located on the opposite side of its ureter entrance to the bladder and the parenchymas of the two kidneys fuse. <P> Horseshoe kidney, also known as ren arcuatus (in Latin), renal fusion or super kidney, is a congenital disorder affecting about 1 in 500 people, more common in men. In this disorder, the patient's kidneys fuse together to form a horseshoe-shape during development in the womb. The fused part is the isthmus of the horseshoe kidney. Fusion abnormalities of the kidney can be categorized into two groups: horseshoe kidney and crossed fused ectopia. The 'horseshoe kidney' is the most common renal fusion anomaly <P> Overview. Congenital anomalies of the kidneys include a group of so-called fusion anomalies, in which both kidneys are fused together in early embryonic life. Fusion anomalies of the kidneys can generally be placed into 2 categories: (1) horseshoe kidney and its variants and (2) crossed fused ectopia. The term horseshoe kidney refers to the appearance of the fused kidney, which results from fusion at one pole (see some examples in the images below). In more than 90% of cases, fusion occurs along the lower pole. <P> It occurs during fetal development as the kidneys move into their normal position. With horseshoe kidney, however, as the kidneys of the fetus rise from the pelvic area, they fuse together at the lower end or base. By fusing, they form a U shape, which gives it the name horseshoe.. It is believed that this condition exists more frequently in males. Horseshoe Kidney (Renal Fusion). Most people are born with two kidneys, which are located in the back of the abdominal cavity on either side of the body covered by the ribs. But factors can occasionally interfere with the development of the kidneys as is the case for people with renal fusion abnormalities. <P> Horseshoe kidney is generally differentiated from crossed fused ectopia, in which both fused kidneys lie on one side of the spine, and the ureter of the crossed kidney crosses the midline to enter the bladder. Plain radiograph of the abdomen shows calcific opacities in the region of left lower renal pole. The term horseshoe kidney refers to the appearance of the fused kidney, which results from fusion at one pole (see some examples in the images below). In more than 90% of cases, fusion occurs along the lower pole. | Horseshoe kidney, also known as ren arcuatus (in Latin), renal fusion or super kidney, is a congenital disorder affecting about 1 in 500 people, more common in men.In this disorder, the patient's kidneys fuse together to form a horseshoe-shape during development in the womb. |
how much does a child need to weigh to be in a booster seat | <P> To sum things up children should be at least 4 years old and weigh at least 40 pounds before they are to be placed in a booster seat. The booster seat needs to be able to utilize both a lab and shoulder belt and the child needs to be in the back seat as long as a back seat is available. <P> Booster Seats. After age 4 and 40+ pounds, children can ride in a booster seat with the adult lap and shoulder belt until the adult safety belt will fit them properly (usually when the child is 4'9 tall, 10 12 years old). MUST have a lap/shoulder belt to use a booster seat. <P> A backless booster. A booster seat is used to lift up a child and properly position the vehicle's lap/shoulder belts on children who are too small to fit the adult seat belt. Boosters are rated for use from 30-40 lbs to 80-100 lbs. Booster seats do not have a harness. <P> Children (ages 4-7) and who weigh at least 40 pounds but less than 80 pounds, and are less than 4'9 tall must be secured in a child passenger restraint system or booster seat appropriate for that child. <P> 3. Booster Seats. Once a child reaches 4 years of age and weighs at least 40 pounds, she can move to a booster seat.

where does bath stone come from | <P> Use tile adhesive to carefully glue down each stone to the shower wall. This process requires a lots of patience. Mark explained that his wife would come home from work and do a 2″ x 36″ section each night! Once the stones are glued down and dry, apply a layer of grout on top. <P> These countertops are literally made from lava stone quarried from the site of ancient volcano eruptions. Most of the lava stone countertops currently being produced come from stone extracted from craters in Auvergne, France, but other sources are being developed as these bathroom and kitchen countertops grow in demand. Once the stone is mined, it is custom-cut for each individual order. <P> Bath Stone has been used extensively as a building material throughout southern England, for churches, houses, and public buildings such as railway stations. Some quarries are still in use, but the majority have been either converted to other purposes or are being filled in. There is a fine pediment on the building, in Bath stone, which depicts the parable of the good Samaritan. St Stephens church, situated on Lansdown Hill in Bath, was constructed from a limestone sourced from the Limpley Stoke mine, which is situated in the Limpley Stoke Valley. <P> Much of Bristol Cathedral was built of Bath Stone, and the Wills Tower, which is the dominant feature of the Wills Memorial Building, is constructed in reinforced concrete faced with Bath and Clipsham stone. Bristol's Cabot Tower was also faced with Bath Stone. There is a fine pediment on the building, in Bath stone, which depicts the parable of the good Samaritan. St Stephens church, situated on Lansdown Hill in Bath, was constructed from a limestone sourced from the Limpley Stoke mine, which is situated in the Limpley Stoke Valley. <P> An important feature of Bath Stone is that it is a ' freestone ', so-called because it can be sawn or 'squared up' in any direction, unlike other rocks such as slate, which forms distinct layers. There is a fine pediment on the building, in Bath stone, which depicts the parable of the good Samaritan. St Stephens church, situated on Lansdown Hill in Bath, was constructed from a limestone sourced from the Limpley Stoke mine, which is situated in the Limpley Stoke Valley. <P> Various types of stone, in a multitude of colors and textures, are found around the world. Global imports natural stone material from over 20 countries. Much of our granite comes from Brazilian, Indian, African or Chinese quarries. Marble is frequently imported from Italy, Spain and Mexico. Slate is imported from Brazil, India and China, while travertine and limestone come from Spain, Portugal, Mexico and Peru. Q: How much does a slab weigh? A: While the density of each stone and the slab size will affect the weight, 3cm granites weigh about 19 pounds per square foot, or about 900-1,200 pounds per slab. A 2cm marble will weigh approximately 600-7 <P> It is thought that the increased pressure stretches the kidney and ureter, causing the pain. This is why stone pain can come and go in waves, as the drainage tube is periodically blocked by the stone trying to make its way out. As the stone moves further down the tube, the pain experienced moves down the body. Kidney stones are the formation of crystalline structures in the urinary tract (which includes the kidneys, ureters, and bladder). These stones can cause pain, infection, and kidney damage. Stones can be small, from 1 mm to very large, filling up an entire kidney. <P> Bath Stone is an oolitic limestone comprising granular fragments of calcium carbonate. Originally obtained from the Combe Down and Bathampton Down Mines under Combe Down, Somerset, England, its warm, honey colouring gives the World Heritage City of Bath, England its distinctive appearance.

production of magnesium from seawater | <P> Dow used a sea water process in Freeport Texas (up to 1998) . This this consisted of adding calcined dolomite to sewater to produce magnesium hydroxide whic was then filtered and reacted with Hydrochloric acid. <P> Magnesium is dissolved in sea water at a concentration of about 1,000 parts per million and is the only metal directly extracted from sea water. Every cubic kilometer of seawater contains about 1.3 billion kilograms of magnesium (12 billion pounds per cubic mile). At present, around 60 percent of the magnesium metal and many of the magnesium salts produced in the United States are extracted from sea water electrolytically. In 1997, about 110,000,000 kg of magnesium was produced in the United States. Most of this magnesium was extracted from sea water. In fact, there is enough magnesium dissolved in the Earth’s oceans to supply all of our magnesium needs for the next 1,000 years. Magnesium is also extracted from highly concentrated brine wells, and, the fascinating thing is, it is also possible to extract magnesium from seawater. Brine wells can be found in numerous places all over the world, and they have been used historically as a source of salt as well as magnesium. <P> There are six sources of raw materials for the production of magnesium: magnesite, dolomite, bischofite, carnallite, serpentine and sea water. These sources differ in the magnesium content, in production methods, and in their origin. Some are mined from mines, some in open mining, others originate in various processes carried out on sea water and salt lakes, and another material originates from the waste of the asbestos production process. Magnesium Extraction From Sea Water. The history of elementary magnesium started in 1755,when Joseph Black, a Scottish chemist, discovered that magnesia contained a new element, magnesium. <P> Dow Process. In the Dow process is magnesium hydroxide is precipitated from sea water by slurrying with calcined dolomite and then converting it to magnesium chloride by reacting it with hydrochloric acid. This product is dried to 1,5 moles of water and introduced directly into the cells. <P> If only magnesium were less expensive. According to researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), based in Washington State, USA, the magnesium used in the production of lightweight alloys for cars and aeroplanes is seven times more costly than the steel employed in the same applications. <P> Project Innovation + Advantages: PNNL is developing a radically new process to produce magnesium from seawater. Today's methods are energy intensive and expensive because the magnesium concentration in seawater is so low that significant energy is needed to evaporate off water and precipitate magnesium chloride salt. Critical Need: Primary production of lightweight metals such as magnesium is an energy-intensive and expensive process that results in significant carbon dioxide (CO2) and other emissions. <P> (i) Production of pure magnesium chloride from sea water or brine. Where sea-water is the raw material, it is treated with dolomite which has been converted to mixed oxides by heating to a high temperature. Magnesium hydroxide precipitates, while calcium hydroxide remains in solution. Uses of magnesium. Magnesium is the third most used metal in construction (after iron and aluminium). Magnesium alloys, typically containing over 90% magnesium, have a very low density, comparatively high strength and excellent machinability. <P> Conversion to magnesium chloride is achieved by heating the oxide, mixed with carbon, in a stream of chlorine at a high temperature in an electric furnace (Figure 1). Figure 1 Illustrating the production of magnesium chloride from magnesium oxide. Uses of magnesium. Magnesium is the third most used metal in construction (after iron and aluminium). Magnesium alloys, typically containing over 90% magnesium, have a very low density, comparatively high strength and excellent machinability. <P> PROCESS FOR PRODUCING MAGNESIA FROM SEAWATER The chemistry of the process is relatively simple. First, dolomite is decomposed in a rotary kiln at 1350-1400~ The calcination reaction is CaMg(CO3) 2 ~ MgO. CaO + CO2 dolomite dolime The dolime is then hydrated MgO. CaO + H20 ~ MgO. Magnesia also is used in the form of calcined refractory magnesite brick and as a chemical addition in the manufacture of chrome, olivine and other refractories. The industrial importance of magnesia is due to its chemical behaviour and this is largely determined by the position of magnesium in the periodic table. | sea-water is the raw material, it is treated with dolomite which has been converted to mixed oxides by heating to a high temperature. |

This ring is traditionally a beautiful gemstone set on a band and is what has come to be known as a symbol of wedding culture.

Photo Credit: Weddingbee. <P> An engagement ring is a ring indicating that the person wearing it is engaged to be married, especially in Western cultures.

They are often bought before the wedding rings as well, although some people choose matching sets that are purchased together. <P> In the jewelry world, a wedding set includes the engagement ring, matching band for her and a band for him.

what to remove from cell phone before discarding it | <P> Thankfully, discarding a phone safely can be done with a minimum of fuss. Here's what you need to do: Remove any memory cards. If your old phone has a removable memory card slot (typically holding either an SD or Micro SD card), remove the card and keep it. You don't need to include it in the sale of the old phone, and keeping it prevents you from having to securely wipe the data on it. Remove the SIM card. The SIM card -- which gives your phone its number and identity on the network -- can also store data like contacts and call logs. <P> There is banking information, passwords, personal photos, and email access info. It is critical that you clear all of this information before donating, recycling, reselling, or disposing of your cell phone.

Before actually disposing of your phone, it is important to remove your information from it, as phones tend to allow access to sensitive, personal information. The easiest way to rid your phone of this information is to perform a factory reset. If your phone is in good condition and functions well, you may wish to donate it.

what is the current effect on the fourteenth amendment | <P> It was proclaimed in effect on July 28, 1868, by the then Secretary of State of the United States, William H. Steward. Section 1, Clause 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment changed the wording in Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution of the United States. The Supreme Court of the United States gave notice of this before the Slaughterhouse Cases. Other courts followed suit. 1 The Fourteenth Amendment's effect on Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution. 2 Section 1, Clause 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment modified Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution of the United States. 3 Citizenship and the Federal Courts after the Fourteenth Amendment. <P> The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads in part: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.. (Jackpot babies is another term). The United States did not limit immigration in 1868 when the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified.

The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment also incorporates most of the provisions in the Bill of Rights, which were originally applied against only the federal government, and applies them against the states. <P> The 14th amendment to the US Constitution was ratified on July 9, 1868 during the Reconstruction era. It, along with the 13th and 15th amendments are collectively known as the Reconstruction amendments. The fact that the amendment uses the word state in the Privileges and Immunities clause along with interpretation of the Due Process Clause has meant that state as well as federal power is subject to the Bill of Rights. Further, the courts have interpreted the word person to include corporations. <P> SECTION 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. OVERVIEW. The 14th amendment is a very important amendment that defines what it means to be a US citizen and protects certain rights of the people. There are three important “clauses” in the 14th amendment, each of which are still important today. A clause is a sentence in any part of our constitution <P> The last two clauses of the first section of the amendment disable a State from depriving not merely a citizen of the United States, but any person, whoever he may be, of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, or from denying to him the equal protection of the laws of the State. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment also incorporates most of the provisions in the Bill of Rights, which were originally applied against only the federal government, and applies them against the states. <P> The court does not wish to hear argument on the question whether the provision in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids a State to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, applies to these corporations.

what is an offshore trust | <P> The difference is that with an offshore trust, also called a foreign trust, the trustee is a financial institution that is not in the same country as the settlor – a foreign country, a foreign trust. A number of these foreign countries are offshore, hence the use of the term ‘offshore trust.’. One of the main uses of a foreign trust is to avoid unnecessary taxation by your home country. Who, believe it or not, want to tax you to death. We’ll look at what certain key countries are doing to try to curb the use of offshore trusts, what it means to you, and how you will still benefit from an <P> Most offshore jurisdictions permit (or allow the settlor to specify in the trust instrument that they are permitted) a wider range of investments, including higher risk investments such as derivatives and futures contracts. However, offshore trusts have other uses too: 1 Offshore trusts are also sometimes formed as unit trusts to operate as a mutual fund. 2 Offshore trusts are often used as part of an orphan structure in capital markets or trade finance transactions. <P> An offshore trust is simply a conventional trust that is formed under the laws of an offshore jurisdiction. However, offshore trusts have other uses too: 1 Offshore trusts are also sometimes formed as unit trusts to operate as a mutual fund. 2 Offshore trusts are often used as part of an orphan structure in capital markets or trade finance transactions. <P> Many asset protection experts agree that offshore trust in the properly selected jurisdiction is the strongest asset protection vehicle worldwide. The Cook Islands Trust has been shown to offer the strongest asset protection case law history. Other Considerations. The formation of an offshore trust requires a realistic assessment of the goals and intent of a potential settlor, and will usurp some resources in its establishment and maintenance. Thus, serious, committed research, and advice and assistance from experience and knowledgeable agents is a must. <P> When a trust is established in a suitable offshore jurisdiction, provided that residents of the offshore jurisdiction are excluded from receiving benefit from the offshore trust, then there will be no local taxes applicable to the assets and income of the trust. The trustee becomes the legal owner and is responsible for managing the assets and distributing them to the beneficiaries of the offshore trust (which could include the person or corporation which transferred the assets to the trustees) in accordance with the terms of the trust deed. <P> An offshore trust enables an individual (the settlor) to donate assets to a neutral third party or guardian (the trustee), who holds the assets and administers them for the benefit of other individuals nominated by the settlor and in many cases the settlor himself (the beneficiaries). <P> Generally offshore trusts are similar in nature and effect to their onshore counterparts; they involve a settlor transferring (or 'settling') assets (the 'trust property') on the trustees to manage for the benefit of a person, class or persons (the ' beneficiaries ') or, occasionally, an abstract purpose. However, offshore trusts have other uses too: 1 Offshore trusts are also sometimes formed as unit trusts to operate as a mutual fund. 2 Offshore trusts are often used as part of an orphan structure in capital markets or trade finance transactions. <P> An offshore trust is related to a traditional onshore asset protection trust in that the end goal is to protect your assets. They are also similar in relation to the parties involved: a Settlor, a Trustee, and the Beneficiaries. One of the main uses of a foreign trust is to avoid unnecessary taxation by your home country. Who, believe it or not, want to tax you to death. We’ll look at what certain key countries are doing to try to curb the use of offshore trusts, what it means to you, and how you will still benefit from an offshore trust. <P> Assets transferred to a properly created, implemented, and funded irrevocable trust are owned by the trust and managed by a trustee. The creator of the trust is no longer the owner of the assets. This is true whether the trust is domestic or offshore. Courts have taken the position that a trustee or a settlor in the U.S. is subject to the jurisdiction of American laws regardless of where the trust and the assets are located. <P> The first point in why people set up an offshore trust is to protect their assets in a completely confidential manner. The trustee is expected to properly manage assets, titles to property, and anything else placed in the trust, in a way which completely protects the original owner (settlor) from being discovered. One of the main uses of a foreign trust is to avoid unnecessary taxation by your home country. Who, believe it or not, want to tax you to death.

most plant diseases are caused by _____ | <P> What causes plant disease? Most people would answer this question by saying that plant pathogens, such as fungi or bacteria, cause plant disease. But this is only part of the answer. Plant pathologists talk about a combination of three crucial factors that must be present to hav <P> Most plant diseases are caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Although the term disease is usually used only for the destruction of live plants, the action of dry rot and the rotting of harvested crops in storage or transport is similar to the rots of growing plants; both are caused by bacteria and fungi. <P> Fungi Fungi are the most prevalent plant pathogen of indoor ornamental plants. They cause a number of leaf spot, stem, and root rot diseases. Most foliage diseases caused by fungi develop circular, dead spots or lesions on leaves, stems and flowers. The gray-to-brown center is dry and papery, with a darker edge. <P> Infectious plant diseases are caused by pathogens, living microorganisms that infect a plant and deprive it of nutrients. Bacteria, fungi, nematodes, mycoplasmas, viruses and viroids are the living agents that cause plant diseases. <P> The vast majority of plant pathogens are fungi Link to Fungal Biology, however, plant diseases are also caused by insects, bacteria, nematodes, viruses and phytoplasmas. Disease-like symptoms can also be caused by abiotic factors, such as temperature, light, chemical agents and water or nutrient deficiencies. <P> Plant pathology is the study of plant diseases. The most common causes of plant diseases are bacteria, fungi, algae, viruses, and roundworms. Plant diseases can drastically affect a country's economy. They may be responsible for the loss of up to ten percent of human crops each year. Plant pathology is also important in environmental studies. <P> Most plant diseases – around 85 percent – are caused by fungal or fungal-like organisms. However, other serious diseases of food and feed crops are caused by viral and bacterial organisms. Certain nematodes also cause plant disease. | Fungi, bacteria, and viruses |
how fast do golf carts go | <P> Golf carts are not designed for speed. Fast moving golf carts can do damage to both the greens and to the vehicles themselves. However, many have taken to driving their golf carts off the course. It can be a cheap and fun means of transportation. For this type of alternative use the slow speed of the average golf cart can be a detrement. Fortunately there are several things you can do to make your golf cart go faster. <P> One way to increase the speed of a gasoline-powered EZ Go golf cart is to add an octane booster when you fill the gas tank. The cart will have more pickup and possibly gain as much as 5 mph. <P> Written by Ed Arnold-LaPorte, IN. The standard speed of a golf cart today is 12 to 14 miles per hour but many options are available to increase both the speed and power should you desire. <P> Even if you are not trying to make your golf cart street legal, most users want the extra speed capability just to add more usefulness and enjoyment. 12 mph is just too painfully slow for most users. If you think that 12 mph is a fast enough golf cart, give it a few weeks. <P> The average golf cart that you'll find on golf courses hit top speeds of about 20 miles per hour. However, there are some custom carts that have topped 150 mph. <P> Gas powered golf cars will get about 14-15 mph top-speed (unmodified). Compared to electric golf cars, gas-powered golf cars are more powerful and useful on craggy terrain; more durable and last longer, and because you don't have to buy a new set of batteries every 3 or 4 years., they are also cheaper. <P> Adjusting the governor can make your golf cart go 5–10 mph (8.0–16.1 km/h) faster. If you do this to an E-Z-GO golf cart, you might be able to squeeze an extra 7 mph (11 km/h) out of it, going from 15 mph (24 km/h) to 22 mph (35 km/h) and it will only take about 5 minutes to do it.

what joints are affected by osteoarthritis | <P> Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative arthritis, may affect one or more joints anywhere in the body. The joints most often affected are the hands and the weight-bearing joints of the lower extremities (knees, hips, feet). In osteoarthritis, there is a steady worsening and decline of joint cartilage. <P> Ost…. Symptoms of osteoarthritis vary, depending on which joints are affected and how severely they are affected. However, the most common symptoms are pain and stiffness, particularly first thing in the morning or after resting. Affected joints may get swollen, especially after extended activity. <P> People with osteoarthritis usually have joint pain and stiffness. Unlike some other forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis affects only joint function. It does not affect skin tissue, the lungs, the eyes, or the blood vessels. The base of the thumb joint also is commonly affected by osteoarthritis. Knees: The knees are among the joints most commonly affected by osteoarthritis. Symptoms of knee osteoarthritis include stiffness, swelling, and pain, which make it hard to walk, climb, and get in and out of chairs and bathtubs. <P> Joints Often Affected by Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage that protects and cushions the joints breaks down over time. Eventually, the bones-formerly separated by the cartilage-rub against each other. This results in damage to the tissue and bone and causes painful joint symptoms. Osteoarthritis, sometimes called degenerative joint disease or osteoarthrosis, is the most common form of arthritis. It most often affects the joints of the spine, fingers, thumbs, hips, knees, or toes. By Healthwise Staff. <P> 1 The joints glowing red in the diagram are those most commonly affected by osteoarthritis – the knees, hips, hands, neck and lower spine. 2 OA is the most common form of arthritis, and develops over months or years. 1 OA is the most common form of arthritis, and develops over months or years. 2 Osteoarthritis affects the entire joint, including the bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and muscles. 3 OA symptoms are found in more than half of people aged over 65, but can occur in younger people. <P> About OA. People with osteoarthritis usually experience joint pain and stiffness. The most commonly affected joints are those at the ends of the fingers (closest to the nail), thumbs, neck, lower back, knees, and hips. Osteoarthritis affects different people differently. <P> Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of your joints, causing a painful swelling that can eventually result in joint deformity. While both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis can affect the small joints of the hand, there are differences. Rheumatoid arthritis tends to affect the middle joints of the fingers and the joints where the fingers attach to the hand. Osteoarthritis more commonly affects the joints at the ends of the fingers and at the base of the thumb. In rheumatoid arthritis, the same joints usually are affected on both sides of the body. This symmetry doesn't typically occur in osteoarthritis, so it's common for only one hand or knee to be painful. <P> Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease of the entire joint involving the cartilage, joint lining, ligaments, and underlying bone. The breakdown of these tissues eventually leads to pain and joint stiffness. The joints most commonly affected are the knees, hips, and those in the hands and spine. <P> People with osteoarthritis usually experience joint pain and stiffness. The most commonly affected joints are those at the ends of the fingers (closest to the nail), thumbs, neck, lower back, knees, and hips. Osteoarthritis affects different people differently. The base of the thumb joint also is commonly affected by osteoarthritis. Knees: The knees are among the joints most commonly affected by osteoarthritis. Symptoms of knee osteoarthritis include stiffness, swelling, and pain, which make it hard to walk, climb, and get in and out of chairs and bathtubs. | The most commonly affected joints are those at the ends of the fingers (closest to the nail), thumbs, neck, lower back, knees, and hips. |

what is raman intensity | <P> An introduction to Raman Spectroscopy. Simplified energy diagram. It is the shift in wavelength of the inelastically scattered radiation that provides the chemical and structural information. Raman shifted photons can be of either higher or lower energy, depending upon the vibrational state of the molecule under study. Hence, in Raman spectroscopy, only the more intense Stokes line is normally measuredRaman scattering is a relatively weak process. The number of photons Raman scattered is quite small. However, there are several process which can be used to enhance the sensitivity of a Raman measurement. <P> Raman spectroscopy (/ˈrɑːmən/ ; named after Sir C. V. Raman) is a spectroscopic technique used to observe vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. Raman spectroscopy is commonly used in chemistry to provide a fingerprint by which molecules can be identified. It relies on inelastic scattering, or Raman scattering, of monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near infrared, or near ultraviolet range. The polarization of the Raman scattered light with respect to the crystal and the polarization of the laser light can be used to find the orientation of the crystal, if the crystal structure (to be specific, its point group) is known. <P> Raman spectroscopy provides information about molecular vibrations that can be used for sample identification and quantitation. The technique involves shining a monochromatic light source (i.e. laser) on a sample and detecting the scattered light. The majority of the scattered light is of the same frequency as the excitation source; this is known as Rayleigh or elastic scattering. <P> As with single molecules, a given solid material has characteristic phonon modes that can help an experimenter identify it. In addition, Raman spectroscopy can be used to observe other low frequency excitations of the solid, such as plasmons, magnons, and superconducting gap excitations. The polarization of the Raman scattered light with respect to the crystal and the polarization of the laser light can be used to find the orientation of the crystal, if the crystal structure (to be specific, its point group) is known. <P> The Raman spectra (Raman scattering intensity as a function of the Stokes and anti-Stokes frequency shifts) is dependent on the rovibronic (rotational and vibrational energy levels of the ground electronic state) states of the sample. The polarization of the Raman scattered light with respect to the crystal and the polarization of the laser light can be used to find the orientation of the crystal, if the crystal structure (to be specific, its point group) is known. <P> The Raman Spectrum. A Raman spectrum is a plot of the intensity of Raman scattered radiation as a function of its frequency difference from the incident radiation (usually in units of wavenumbers, cm -1). This difference is called the Raman shift <P> Raman is a light scattering technique, whereby a molecule scatters incident light from a high intensity laser light source. Most of the scattered light is at the same wavelength (or colour) as the laser source and does not provide useful information – this is called Rayleigh Scatter. Raman Spectroscopy is a non-destructive chemical analysis technique which provides detailed information about chemical structure, phase and polymorphy, crystallinity and molecular interactions. <P> The difference in energy between the incident photon and the Raman scattered photon is equal to the energy of a vibration of the scattering molecule. A plot of intensity of scattered light versus energy difference is a Raman spectrum. 1.1.1. A Raman spectrum is a plot of the intensity of Raman scattered radiation as a function of its frequency difference from the incident radiation (usually in units of wavenumbers, cm -1). <P> Raman Basics page 1 of 5 …SEE the Future Introduction Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light, usually from alaser source. Inelastic scattering means that the frequency of photons in monochromatic light changes upon interactionwith a sample. A photon with frequency υ 0 is absorbed by Raman-active molecule which at the time of interaction is in the basicvibrational state. Part of the photon’s energy is transferred to the Raman-active mode with frequency υ m and the resultingfrequency of scattered light is reduced to υ 0 - υ m. | Raman is a light scattering technique, whereby a molecule scatters incident light from a high intensity laser light source. |
are tree rings secondary xylem or phloem | <P> 1 The vascular cambium is involved in producing secondary xylem (wood) and secondary phloem. 2 Secondary phloem is the secondary growth tissue that conducts food that the plant makes from the leaves to the rest of the plant. 3 The cork cambium is involved in producing the tough, thick covering of a stem and root. 1 Secondary xylem is the wood of a tree trunk. 2 The annual rings are created by alternating bands of summer wood cells and spring wood cells. 3 The summer wood cells are smaller in diameter, due to less available water, while the spring cells are larger in diameter due to rapid growth from more abundant water. <P> The cambium present between primary xylem and primary phloem is called intrafasicular cambium. At the time of secondary growth, cells of meduallary rays, in a line with intrafasicular cambium, become meristematic and form interfasicular cambium. The vascular cambium then produces secondary xylem on the inside of the ring, and secondary phloem on the outside, pushing the primary xylem and phloem apart. <P> · The xylem is the vascular tissue through which most of the water and minerals of the tree are conducted. More secondary xylem (added toward the inside of the cambium layer) than secondary phloem (added toward the outside of the cambium layer) is produced by the cambium. The definition of wood is secondary xylem, reflected by the origin of the term 'xylem', the Greek word xylon, for wood. Another layer, the cork cambium, contributes to the expanding girth of a tree.

The definition of wood is secondary xylem, reflected by the origin of the term ‘xylem’, the Greek word xylon, for wood. <P> The secondary phloem is crushed and compacted, though nothing happens to the xylem except that it stops growing. When the growing season starts up again the next year, the vascular cambium forms new layers of secondary phloem and xylem. These layers of xylem form the tree rings used in dating wood. Drink Up. Xylem brings water up from the roots into the rest of the tree. Like phloem, primary xylem forms in primary growth, and secondary xylem forms in secondary growth. As the growing season continues, the secondary xylem expands to the point where the secondary phloem can’t stay intact anymore. <P> As dendrochronologists, we are more interested in the fusiform initials. The fusiform initials produce secondary xylem and secondary phloem (the xylem and phloem produced during secondary growth). When we study wood or tree rings, we are looking at secondary xylem. As the fusiform initials divide, they produce secondary xylem towards the inside of the cell and secondary phloem towards the outside. Therefore, the vascular cambium (where we find the fusiform initials) is considered to be bifacial. <P> 1 Secondary phloem is the secondary growth tissue that conducts food that the plant makes from the leaves to the rest of the plant. 2 The cork cambium is involved in producing the tough, thick covering of a stem and root. 3 Secondary xylem is the wood of a tree trunk. 1 Secondary xylem is the wood of a tree trunk. 2 The annual rings are created by alternating bands of summer wood cells and spring wood cells. 3 The summer wood cells are smaller in diameter, due to less available water, while the spring cells are larger in diameter due to rapid growth from more abundant water. <P> · Secondary growth takes place in the vascular cambium and the cork cambium and results in an increase in the diameter of the stem or trunk of the tree.

what enzyme forms bicarbonate | <P> In cocrystal structures with the inhibitors leucinal (9) and leucinephosphonic acid (11), this bicarbonate ion is replaced by two water molecules, which are at a very close distance of 2.3 A. å it has been speculated that the two water molecules are deprotonated to form a bihydroxide (Ion h 3 o −) (2). 9 In addition to the side chain conformations and the orientation of the bicarbonate ion, many active-site water molecules are “conserved” between the two enzymes. This includes the zinc-bridging water molecule, which is the proposed nucleophile in the enzyme mechanism. <P> The bicarbonate ion is HCO3-. Bicarbonate is an important buffer found in blood. Carbon dioxide is present in the blood in a number of forms such as bicarbonate, dissolved carbon dioxide and carbonic acid, of which 90% is bicarbonate or HCO3. CO2, in the form of bicarbonate, is directly involved in “light reactions .” This “bicarbonate effect” influences molecular processes <P> Pancreatic juice is composed of two secretory products critical to proper digestion: digestive enzymes and bicarbonate. The enzymes are synthesized and secreted from the exocrine acinar cells, whereas bicarbonate is secreted from the epithelial cells lining small pancreatic ducts. 1.

Several proteases are synthesized in the pancreas and secreted into the lumen of the small intestine. <P> CO2 is converted to HCO3-, transported to the lungs, and then converted back to CO2 in several steps. When CO2 dissolves in water, some of it slowly reacts with the water molecules to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), some of which then dissociates into a proton (H+) and a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-). This reversible reaction is expressed as follows: <P> One of the functions of the enzyme in animals is to interconvert carbon dioxide and bicarbonate to maintain acid-base balance in blood and other tissues, and to help transport carbon dioxide out of tissues. Typical catalytic rates of the different forms of this enzyme ranging between 10 4 and 10 6 reactions per second. The reverse reaction is relatively slow (kinetics in the 15-second range) in the absence of a catalyst. <P> In inorganic chemistry, bicarbonate (IUPAC-recommended nomenclature: hydrogen carbonate) is an intermediate form in the deprotonation of carbonic acid. It is a polyatomic anion with the chemical formula H C O 3 − . Bicarbonate serves a crucial biochemical role in the physiological pH buffering system. | 90% is bicarbonate or HCO3 |

what changes does the united states face today | <P> Main article: Climate change in the United States. The United States is the second largest emitter, after China, of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. The energy policy of the United States is widely debated; many call on the country to take a leading role in fighting global warming. <P> Beyond being a powerful demographic force responsible for how the country and its population became what they are today, immigration has contributed deeply to many of the economic, social, and political processes that are foundational to the United States as a nation. <P> Below are the top 10 issues facing our youth today. Editor’s Note: This is one of our most popular lists of all time. While you may not agree with everything on this list you are probably here because you are concerned about the issues in our society and the problems we face to make our world a better place. <P> Changing patterns of fertility and immigration have put the United States on a short road to a population diversity never before experienced by any nation—a population in which all races and ethnicities are part of minority groups that make up a complex whole. Trends in immigration and birth rates indicate that soon there will be no majority racial or ethnic group in the United States—no one group that makes up more than fifty percent of the total population. Already almost one in ten U.S. counties has a population that is more than fifty percent minority. <P> The Latino population is driving these transformations. While today one of every eight residents of the United States is Latino, it is projected that Latinos could account for one of every five residents by 2035, one of every four by 2055, and one of every three by 2100. <P> During a time when the health care industry is undergoing a variety of changes caused by not only modern technology but an overall change in the United States health care system, today’s health care administrators are faced with new and unprecedented challenges. The United States health care system has been greatly affected by the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act in June of 2012. The reform works to expand coverage, enhance the quality of health care in America, lower costs and hold insurance companies accountable. <P> Predicting future climate changes are fraught with difficultly. Some research has warned against possible problems due to American climate changes such as the spread of invasive species and possibilities of floods as well as droughts. Changes in climate in the regions of the United States appear significant. In 2012, the United States experienced its warmest year on record. As of 2012, the thirteen warmest years for the entire planet have all occurred since 1998, transcending those from 1880. From 1950 to 2009, the American government's surface temperature record shows an increase by 1 °F (0.56 °C), approximately. <P> Introduction. Our era is often said to be a time of rapid technological change, but the social changes occurring in this country and elsewhere are equally dramatic. In 1960, for example, 19% of women with children under the age of 6 were in the workforce in the United States; today, 57% are. The proportion of households headed by a single parent—usually the mother—also has increased sharply: from 11% to 26% of all families with children over the period 1970-1992. First, it shows how many Americans are poor, that is, do not have the financial resources to meet their basic needs. Second, it is used to establish eligibility for various programs and thus has a major effect on the flow of federal funds; programs in this category include Medicaid, Medicare, and food stamps. <P> The history of the United States is what happened in the past in the United States, a country in North America. Native Americans have lived there for thousands of years, long before Europeans went there. Mainly English people went. In 1607, they went to Jamestown, Virginia. After the Revolution, the United States set about becoming a new nation with George Washington becoming its first president. The leaders of the states created a constitution in 1787 and a Bill of Rights in 1791. <P> The face of our nation is changing, and nowhere is the change more evident than in public school classrooms. Just consider this: Compared with the last century, we are increasingly aging and white on the one hand and young and multi-hued on the other. Trends in immigration and birth rates indicate that soon there will be no majority racial or ethnic group in the United States—no one group that makes up more than fifty percent of the total population. Already almost one in ten U.S. counties has a population that is more than fifty percent minority. | While you may not agree with everything on this list you are probably here because you are concerned about the issues in our society and the problems we face to make our world a better place.elow are the top 10 issues facing our youth today. |
A gene is defined as a quizlet | <P> For instance, mitochondria have an alternative genetic code with slight variations. The genetic code is a set of rules defining how the four-letter code of DNA is translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. It is also important to note that the genetic code does not overlap, meaning that each nucleotide is part of only one codon-a single nucleotide cannot be part of two adjacent codons. <P> Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient’s cells instead of using drugs or surgery. Researchers are testing several approaches to gene therapy, including: Replacing a mutated gene that causes disease with a healthy copy of the gene. Inactivating, or “knocking out,” a mutated gene that is functioning improperly. Introducing a new gene into the body to help fight a disease. <P> Definition of DNA for Kids. : a large organic molecule that carries genetic information in the chromosomes and resembles a twisted ladder. <P> Transcription.

It can be defined as any duplication of a region of DNA that contains a gene. Gene duplications can arise as products of several types of errors in DNA replication and repair machinery as well as through fortuitous capture by selfish genetic elements. <P> Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase. It is the process of transcribing or making a copy of genetic information stored in a DNA strand into a complementary strand of RNA (messenger RNA or mRNA) with the aid of RNA polymerases. <P> Genes are made up of DNA. Each chromosome contains many genes. A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases. Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between people. <P> Gene expression: The translation of information encoded in a gene into protein or RNA structures that are present and operating in the cell. | A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity.

arrhenius definition chemistry | <P> Al(OH) 3, for example, acts as an acid when it reacts with a base. Conversely, it acts as a base when it reacts with an acid. The Br nsted Definition of Acids and Bases. The Brnsted, or Brnsted-Lowry, model is based on a simple assumption: Acids donate H ions to another ion or molecule, which acts as a base. Arrhenius bases include ionic compounds that contain the OH-ion, such as NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH) 2. This theory explains why acids have similar properties: The characteristic properties of acids result from the presence of the H + ion generated when an acid dissolves in water. <P> These electrically-conductive compounds were termed Arrhenius acids. By definition, Arrhenius acids are compounds that produce hydrogen ions (H+) in solution. Let's take a closer look at the chemical structure of an Arrhenius acid. Hydrobromic acid is an Arrhenius acid with the formula HBr. In the 1880s, Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius was busy studying the electrical properties of chemicals when put in water. In his studies, he noticed that certain compounds produced hydrogen ions, often called protons, when they were put into aqueous (or water-based) solution. <P> The Arrhenius definition of an. acid is a substance that when dissolved in water increases the concentration of hydrogen ion, H (aq) . A base is a substance that when added to water increases the concentration of hydroxide ion, OH (aq) . An acid is a substance which when added to water increases the concentration of [H ], therefore, an acid must have a [H M. A base must have a concentration of [OH M. <P> Arrhenius argued that bases are neutral compounds that either dissociate or ionize in water to give OH-ions and a positive ion. NaOH is an Arrhenius base because it dissociates in water to give the hydroxide (OH -) and sodium (Na +) ions. Arrhenius bases include ionic compounds that contain the OH-ion, such as NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH) 2. This theory explains why acids have similar properties: The characteristic properties of acids result from the presence of the H + ion generated when an acid dissolves in water. <P> This image depicts the distribution of electric potential across the hydronium cation. Ben Mills. Arrhenius Acid Definition: An Arrhenius acid is a substance that when added to water increases the number of H + ions in the water. The H + ion is also associated with the water molecule in the form of a hydronium ion, H 3 O + and follows the reaction: <P> Arrhenius Acid Definition: Hydronium breaks up to yield an H+ in solution. Arrhenius Base Definition: Hydroxide is an OH-dissolved in water. Bronsted-Lowry Acid Definition: Hydronium is an H+ donor regardless of solution. Bronsted-Lowry Base Definition: Hydroxide attacks and accepts the H+ from hydronium. Lewis Acid Definition: The H+ on Hydronium accepts the attacking electron pair to form a bond. <P> According to Arrhenius theory, an acid is a substance which has a hydrogen atom and can be given in the form of hydrogen ion in aqueous solution. Such substances are called as Arrhenius acids. For example, Ammonia is not a base according to the Arrhenius acid-base theory. Since there is no hydroxyl group present in the ammonia (NH 3) molecule, so, it should be basic. But ammonia shows basic nature. This can be explained by using the concept of <P> Arrhenius defined an acidA compound that increases the concentration of hydrogen ion (H) in aqueous solution. as a compound that increases the concentration of hydrogen ion (H) in aqueous solution. Many acids are simple compounds that release a hydrogen cation into solution when they dissolve.

An Arrhenius acid is a molecule that when dissolved in water will donate an H+ in solution. Simply put, a proton donor. The trick to recognizing an Arrhenius acid is to look for a molecule that starts with an H, and typically contains an oxygen or halogen. Bronsted-Lowry Acid Definition: Hydronium is an H+ donor regardless of solution. Bronsted-Lowry Base Definition: Hydroxide attacks and accepts the H+ from hydronium.

what is retinoids | <P> Roaccutane) products, chemically related to Vitamin A, that help with acne, anti-aging, and hyper-pigmentation. You might have heard of retinoids before if you have ever used products with retinol, retinoic acid, or tretinoin (more on the different types of retinoids in the next section). <P> Background. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that comes from two sources: preformed retinoids and provitamin carotenoids. Retinoids, such as retinal and retinoic acid, are found in animal sources such as liver, kidney, eggs, and dairy products. Carotenoids, such as beta-carotene (which has the highest vitamin A activity), are found in plants such as dark or yellow vegetables and carrots. <P> There are three generations of retinoids: 1 First generation retinoids: which include retinol, retinal, tretinoin (retinoic acid, Retin-A), isotretinoin, and alitretinoin. 2 Second generation retinoids: which include etretinate and its metabolite acitretin. <P> Photo: © 2009 Jupiterimages Corporation. 1. You have no idea what a retinoid is. The term describes vitamin A derivatives that unclog pores, boost collagen to reduce fine lines, and speed cell turnover to even out discoloration and smooth the skin—sometimes in as little as four weeks. <P> Retinoid pills treat oil production, bacteria that cause acne, and inflammation. How to use: Smooth a retinoid cream over the skin once a day 20 to 30 minutes after washing your face. What else you need to know: When you first use retinoids, you may notice redness, peeling of your skin, or worsening of your acne. <P> Retinoids for Acne. If you have moderate to severe acne that hasn't gotten better with other treatments, a retinoid may help. When spread on the skin, retinoids can unclog pores, allowing other medicated creams and gels to work better. They also reduce acne outbreaks by preventing dead cells from clogging pores. <P> There are different types of retinoids and different products with each type of retinoid as an active ingredient. Retinyl palmitate, retinol, retinaldehyde, adapalene, tretinoin, isotretinoin, and tazarotene are all various forms of retinoids, which in turn are various forms of Vitamin A. | The term describes vitamin A derivatives that unclog pores, boost collagen to reduce fine lines, and speed cell turnover to even out discoloration and smooth the skin—sometimes in as little as four weeks. |
