Sterling /ster-ling/ [2 sylls.] as a boys' name is pronounced STER-ling. It is of English origin, and the meaning of Sterling is genuine, of high quality. The word derives from an Old English term meaning little star. Also variant of a name meaning easterner given to pre-medieval refiners of silver. Familiar as a given name in the 1950s-1960s due to actor Sterling Hayden. Race-car driver Stirling Moss; sports commentator Sterling Sharpe

Starling (noun). any passerine bird belonging to Sturnus and allied genera. The European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is dark brown or greenish black, with a metallic gloss, and spotted with yellowish white. It is a sociable bird, and builds about houses, old towers, etc. Called also stare, and starred. Starlings are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Sturnidae. The name Sturnidae comes from the Latin word for starling, sturnus. Many Asian species, particularly the larger ones, are called mynas, and many African species are known as glossy starlings because of their iridescent plumage.

Battery is concerned with the right to have one's body left alone by others. Battery is both a tort and a crime. Its essential element, harmful or offensive contact, is the same in both areas of the law. The main distinction between the two categories lies in the penalty imposed. A defendant sued for a tort is civilly liable to the plaintiff for damages. n. the actual intentional striking of someone, with intent to harm, or in a rude and insolent manner even if the injury is slight. Negligent or careless unintentional contact is not battery no matter how great the harm. Battery is a crime and also the basis for a lawsuit as a civil wrong if there is damage.

Battery is a criminal offense which involves unlawful physical contact. Based on the United States legal system, criminal battery, or simply battery, is the use of force against another individual which directly results in offensive or harmful contact. At the common law level, battery is regarded as a misdemeanor. In these instances, the prosecutor must prove three distinct elements beyond a reasonable doubt to successfully convict the alleged perpetrator. As stated earlier, battery may take on two separate forms: misdemeanor battery and felony battery

Definition of a Battery. Photo Credit: ose Luis Pelaez/ The Image Bank/ Getty Images. A battery, which is actually an electric cell, is a device that produces electricity from a chemical reaction. Strictly speaking, a battery consists of two or more cells connected in series or parallel, but the term is generally used for a single cell. A cell consists of a negative electrode; an electrolyte, which conducts ions; a separator, also an ion conductor; and a positive electrode.

The crime of Simple Battery or Misdemeanor Battery is defined under Section 784.03, Florida Statutes. In Florida, the term battery means: 1 Any actual and intentional touching or striking of another person against that person’s will (non-consensual), or. 2 The intentional causing of bodily harm to another person. Under Florida law, Simple Battery (Misdemeanor Battery) is a first degree misdemeanor, with penalties of up to one year in jail or 12 months probation, and a $1,000 fine. Battery is a highly defendable charge, and an attorney is critical to avoiding the harsh consequences of a conviction.

Vulvar and vaginal itching is the most common sign of a yeast infection. Often, it is severe and nearly constant. The discomfort and itching can spread from the vaginal opening to the labia and anus. Because yeast infection symptoms can affect the vagina and surrounding tissue (called the vulva), a yeast infection is technically called vulvovaginal candidiasis, or VVC. Vaginal burning, soreness, redness, and inflammation of the vulva and labia are common, and may include swelling

The fungus candida causes a vaginal yeast infection. Your vagina naturally contains a balanced mix of yeast, including candida, and bacteria. Lactobacillus bacteria produce acid, which prevents yeast overgrowth. That balance can be disrupted and lead to a yeast infection. Too much yeast in your vagina causes vaginal itching, burning and other classic signs and symptoms of a yeast infection. Overgrowth of yeast can result from: 1 Antibiotic use, which decreases lactobacillus bacteria in your vagina and changes the pH of your vagina. 2 Pregnancy. 3 Uncontrolled diabetes. 4 Impaired immune system.

When the bacteria becomes overgrown, a yeast infection can occur in the vaginal area, and the most common causes of the infection are usually attributed to antibiotics or wearing tight, form fitting clothing that does not allow for air flow. In some severe cases of a yeast infection, the vulva can become swollen and even painful if the condition is left untreated. Another common and often worrisome symptom for women is that sex can become painful due to the vaginal dryness that the infection can cause.

SUMMARY. ● Vaginal yeast infections are a common problem in women. ● Itching is the most common symptom of a vaginal yeast infection. Women may also note pain with urination, soreness or irritation, pain with intercourse, or reddened and swollen vulvar and vaginal tissues. It is often not possible to know if itching is caused by yeast or other causes. (See 'Self-diagnosis' below.). VAGINAL YEAST INFECTION CAUSE. The fungus that causes yeast infections (named Candida) normally lives in the gastrointestinal tract and sometimes the vagina.

A vaginal yeast infection is an infection of the vagina that causes itching and burning of the vulva, the area around the vagina. Vaginal yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida. Vaginal yeast infection. Most women will get a vaginal yeast infection at some point in their life. Symptoms of vaginal yeast infections include burning, itching, and thick, white discharge. Yeast infections are easy to treat, but it is important to see your doctor or nurse if you think you have an infection. Yeast infection symptoms are similar to other vaginal infections and sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

Thinset is cement-based. It hardens due to a chemical reaction in the cement when moisture is drawn out of it and into the tile backing and cement-type underlayment (if used). This wicking action causes the thinset to heat up and harden quickly. Thinset generally provides a stronger bond than mastic.

Thin-set mortar is like Portland Cement, only thinner. It’s a mixture of cement, finely graded sand, and a water-retention compound that allows the cement to properly hydrate. You’ll find thin-set sold with the words “thin set cement”, “thin-set mortar”, “dryset mortar”, and “drybond mortar”.

Glucose. Glucose is a carbohydrate, and is the most important simple sugar in human metabolism. Glucose is called a simple sugar or a monosaccharide because it is one of the smallest units which has the characteristics of this class of carbohydrates. Glucose is also sometimes called dextrose. Corn syrup is primarily glucose. Glucose is one of the primary molecules which serve as energy sources for plants and animals. It is found in the sap of plants, and is found in the human bloodstream where it is referred to as blood sugar.

Scaffold proteins are abundant and essential components of the postsynaptic density (PSD). They play a major role in many synaptic functions including the trafficking, anchoring, and clustering of glutamate receptors and adhesion molecules. Given that scaffold proteins are central components of PSD architecture, it is not surprising that deletion or mutations in their human genes cause severe neuropsychiatric disorders including autism, mental retardation, and schizophrenia.

The postsynaptic density (PSD) is a cytoskeletal specialization at neuronal synapses that was originally identified as an electron-dense region at the membrane of a postsynaptic neuron, as viewed by electron microscopy. PSDs are sized on the order of 0.25 to 0.5 micrometres in diameter and 0.025 to 0.05 micrometres in thickness, depending on the activity state of the synapse. Many proteins in the PSD are involved in the regulation of synaptic function.

Many proteins in the PSD are involved in the regulation of synaptic function. Key among these, are postsynaptic density-95 (PSD95), neuroligin (a cellular adhesion molecule), NMDA receptors, AMPA receptors, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and actin. The structure and composition of the PSD have been the focus of numerous molecular studies of synaptic plasticity, a cellular model of learning and memory. PSDs are sized on the order of 250 to 500 nanometres in diameter and 25 to 50 nanometres in thickness, depending on the activity state of the synapse.

Abstract. The postsynaptic density (PSD) is a structure composed of both membranous and cytoplasmic proteins localized at the postsynaptic plasma membrane of excitatory synapses. Biochemical and molecular biological studies have identified a number of proteins present in the PSD. The interneuronal chemical synapse consists of a presynaptic element and an apposed postsynaptic element with an intervening synaptic cleft width of 10–20 nm. Both the presynaptic and the postsynaptic membranes display densities on the cytoplasmic faces (Palay, 1958).

Abstract. The postsynaptic density is a specialization of the nerve cell's submembrane cytoskeleton that is hypothesized to participate in the regulation of synaptic adhesion, transmitter receptor clustering, and modulation of receptor sensitivity. Until recently, many of the major proteins in the highly insoluble postsynaptic density fraction remained uncharacterized. Modern immunological and microsequencing methods now make it possible to define more precisely the molecular composition and function of this intriguing organelle.

The PSD was first observed in electron micrographs as a fuzzy electron-dense thickening of the postsynaptic membrane that is apposed to the presynaptic active zone (hence the term “asymmetric” synapses) (Gray 1959; Siekevitz 1985). The cardinal neurotransmitter receptors of central inhibitory synapses are the GABA A receptors and glycine receptors. These receptors interact directly with gephyrin, a well-known postsynaptic scaffold protein of inhibitory synapses (Prior et al.

We now know that these dense postsynaptic thickenings represent a fibrous specialization of the submembrane cytoskeleton that adheres to the postsynaptic membrane at sites of close apposition to the presynaptic terminal. Until recently, many of the major proteins in the highly insoluble postsynaptic density fraction remained uncharacterized. Modern immunological and microsequencing methods now make it possible to define more precisely the molecular composition and function of this intriguing organelle.

The minority interest discount reflects the notion that a partial ownership interest may be worth less than its pro-rata (proportional) share of the total business. For example, ownership of a 30% share in the business may be worth less than 30% of the entire company value.

The LOMD is in addition to any minority discount. The two are taken not together but seriatim. For example a 10% minority discount reduces an $100 share value to $90, and a further reduction by a LOMD of 40% reduces the value to $54 ($90 x (1 - 0.4) = $54).

The law in Virginia is similar: To that figure, the expert applied a discount of 40% for lack of marketability and 30% for minority status. That reduced the market value of the husband’s interest to $105,177. The trial court rejected the husband’s reasoning for discounting for minority status and marketability.

MINORITY INTEREST. In most situations, a person owning a 100% would have a greater value for their interest than a person owning 51%. Not due to the fact that they own a larger percentage but that the price per share, or unit, would be higher. This is because they have greater “control” than a person with 51%.

There are many reasons why this is an imperfect measure of the minority discount, but it is about the best source of observed market data available. According to recent compilations of these control acquisitions, the median implied minority discount is about 30% from the value of the stock (for large companies).

The effect of applying a minority interest discount is to reduce the value of partial ownership interest below its proportional share of the business. As an example, discounting a 30% partnership interest by 20% would reduce its value to 24% of the overall business.

The basic unit of structure of nervous tissue is the neuron, consisting of a nerve cell body and several processes: dendrites, which carry impulses toward the nerve cell body, and axons, which carry impulses away from the cell body.

Each neuron is composed of a cell body containing a nucleus and one or more long cytoplasmic extensions known as fibres. Highly branched fibres, called dendrites, bring impulses toward the cell body, while a single, unbranched fibre, the axon, carries information away from the cell body (Figure 17).

B. DENDRITES-Short branch extensions spreading out from the cell body. Dendrites Receive STIMULUS (Action Potentials) and carry IMPULSES from the ENVIRONMENT or from other NEURONS AND CARRY THEM TOWARD THE CELL BODY. C. AXON-A Long Fibre that CARRIES IMPULSES AWAY FROM THE CELL BODY. Each neuron has only ONE AXON. The Axon Ends in a series of small swellings called AXON TERMINALS.

1 Dendrites bring electrical signals to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. 2 Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. 3 Neurons contain some specialized structures (for example, synapses) and chemicals (for example, neurotransmitters).

It is at the synapse where chemical or electrical impulses must cross the gap and be carried to the dendrites of adjacent cells. At electrical synapses, ions and other molecules pass through gap junctions allowing for the passive transmission of electrical signals from one cell to the other.

A particular feature of inter-professional associations is that the membership is made up of associations that represent the individual chain professions. This is in contrast, for example, to commodity associations in the United States where membership is largely of individuals and companies. Many professional bodies are involved in the development and monitoring of professional educational programs, and the updating of skills, and thus perform professional certification to indicate that a person possesses qualifications in the subject area.

Your required minimum distribution is the minimum amount you must withdraw from your account each year. You generally have to start taking withdrawals from your IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, or retirement plan account when you reach age 70½. Roth IRAs do not require withdrawals until after the death of the owner.

Required minimum distributions (RMDs) must be taken each year beginning with the year you turn age 70 1/2. The RMD for each year is calculated by dividing the IRA account balance as of December 31 of the prior year by the applicable distribution period or life expectancy. This rule does not apply to your Roth IRAs.
