what is glucosamine hydrochloride | Glucosamine in the body is used to make a cushion that surrounds the joints. In osteoarthritis, this cushion becomes thinner and stiff. Taking glucosamine hydrochloride as a supplement might help to supply the materials needed to rebuild the cushion. Glucosamine hydrochloride seems to be safe for most adults. | Glucosamine is available in oral supplements as glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and n-acetyl glucosamine. These products may come in tablet, capsule, and powder forms. It is often combined with chondroitin and sometimes manganese as well. Manganese is a trace mineral necessary for normal bone health. | Glucosamine hydrochloride is one of the three different forms of glucosamine (the others are glucosamine sulfate and N-acetyl glucosamine). It is derived from the shells of lobsters, shrimp, and crabs. Glucosamine hydrochloride is often used in combination with chondroitin, another dietary supplement. | Glucosamine is usually made from seashells, or it can be made in the laboratory. Glucosamine hydrochloride is one of several forms of glucosamine. Glucosamine hydrochloride is used for osteoarthritis, knee pain, back pain, and glaucoma. However, no one knows yet whether it is effective for any of these conditions. The safety of long-term use is unknown. Glucosamine hydrochloride can cause gas, bloating, and cramps. Some glucosamine products do not contain the labeled amount of glucosamine or contain excessive amounts of manganese. Ask your healthcare provider about reliable brands. | Oral glucosamine is a dietary supplement and is not a pharmaceutical drug. It is illegal in the US to market any dietary supplement as a treatment for any disease or condition. Glucosamine is often sold in combination with other supplements such as chondroitin sulfate and methylsulfonylmethane. Of the three commonly available forms of glucosamine, only glucosamine sulfate is given a likely effective rating for treating osteoarthritis. |
what is mock meat | A meat analogue, also called a meat alternative, meat substitute, mock meat, faux meat, imitation meat, or (where applicable) vegetarian meat or vegan meat, approximates certain aesthetic qualities (primarily texture, flavor and appearance) and/or chemical characteristics of specific types of meat. Surimi, a processed hash of fish plus flavorings, is used to make products such as imitation crab meat. In some regions, surimi refers only to products made from fish. Examples of surimi include: 1 Surimi from fish, such as imitation crab, imitation shrimp, or imitation lobster. | The vegan diet is at an all-time high in popularity. With celebrities, ex-presidents and even Mickey Mouse getting his vegan fix on, the sales of faux meat-like substances are skyrocketing. 2008 saw more than $4 billion in soy product sales, often the main ingredient in mock meats. | Yuba and textured vegetable protein (TVP) are other soy-based meat analogues. The first is made by layering the thin skin which forms on top of boiled soy milk. the second is a dry bulk commodity derived from soy and soy protein concentrate. Surimi, a processed hash of fish plus flavorings, is used to make products such as imitation crab meat. In some regions, surimi refers only to products made from fish. Examples of surimi include: 1 Surimi from fish, such as imitation crab, imitation shrimp, or imitation lobster. | Vegetarian meats (also called meat substitutes or mock meats) come in just about every type imaginable-from the common everyday veggie burger to the exotic haggis and jumbo shrimp. Some vegetarians and vegans choose not to eat vegetarian meats for a number of reasons. Up to you. Homemade mock meats: Seitan. If you want to experiment making your own vegetarian mock meat substitutes at home, seitan is the place to start. It can be baked or simmered, and you can add just about any spices you like. Link: How to make seitan. | Some vegetarians avoid mock meat and cheese recipes, while others swear by them.

what is the function of the teeth and periodontal membrane | The periodontal ligament serves primarily a supportive function by attaching the tooth to the surrounding alveolar bone proper. This function is mediated primarily by the principal fibers of the periodontal ligament that form a strong fibrous union between the root cementum and the bone. The periodontal ligament also serves as a shock-absorber by mechanisms that provide resistance to light as well as heavy forces. Finally, the periodontal ligament provides a nutritive function that maintains the vitality of its various cells. The ligament is well-vascularized, with the major blood supply originating from the dental arteries that enter the ligament through the fundus of the alveoli. | Periodontal ligament: Functions. The periodontal ligament is a specialised fibrous connective tissue that surrounds the root area of the tooth. It consists mainly of collagenous fibres. It has the following functions : Its cells form, maintain and repair the alveolar bone and cementum. ■ Sensors in the periodontal ligament provide proprioceptive input, detecting pressures on the tooth. ■ The periodontal ligament has a rich supply of blood, which provides nutrients to the cementoblasts. | Periodontal surgery is a plastic (reshaping) surgical procedure designed to restore and regenerate normal form and function to lost and damaged periodontal structures which support the teeth (the gum tissue, periodontal ligament and bone). | The periodontal ligament, commonly abbreviated as the PDL, is a group of specialized connective tissue fibers that essentially attach a tooth to the alveolar bone within which it sits. | periodontal ligament (PDL), the fibrous tissue that surrounds a tooth and attaches the tooth to the alveolus. It is composed of many bundles of collagenous tissue arranged in groups, between which lies loose connective tissue interwoven with blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. Also called periodontium. periodontal ligament. n. The connective tissue surrounding the root of a tooth and attaching it to its bony socket. Also called alveolodental ligament, periodontal membrane. |

The higher you go, the smaller the difference becomes. No sunscreen protects you completely. Sunscreen is a product that you put on your skin to protect it from the sun’s UV rays. But it’s important to know that sunscreen is just a filter – it does not block all UV rays. Sunscreen should not be used as a way to prolong your time in the sun. | Use sunscreen. Sunscreen is a product that you put on your skin to protect it from the sun’s UV rays. But it’s important to know that sunscreen is just a filter – it does not block all UV rays. Sunscreen should not be used as a way to prolong your time in the sun. | Otto Veiel of Linz, Austria, published one of the first reports of a substance being used to protect skin from ultraviolet rays in 1878. He discovered that tannin worked as a kind of sunscreen. However, the staining properties of tannin limited the usefulness of his find. Sunblock, however, protects the skin by reflecting and scattering the sun’s rays. The best-known example of a sunblock is zinc oxide, the thick white substance that lifeguards apply to their noses. Sunblocks are highly effective, but are typically sticky creams that are impractical for full body use. | They realized that the skin could be protected by filtering out those wavelengths. This led to the first commercially available sunscreen, produced in 1928 in the United States. It was an emulsion made of PABA benzyl salicylate and benzyl cinnamate. Sunscreens were soon widely available, although not widely used. Sunblock, however, protects the skin by reflecting and scattering the sun’s rays.

what capillary is specialized for filtration | The point here is that glomerular capillaries are specialized for filtration. These capillaries are different than those in other parts of the body. The magnitude of fluid filtered in the glomerular capillaries is huge. No reabsorption occurs in glomerular capillaries. The peritubular capillaries are the site of, and are specialized for, reabsorption. The COP changes with distance along the glomerular capillaries because a large volume of water (~20%) filters out concentrating the proteins/solutes left behind. Remember, fluid is filtered into Bowman‟s capsule all along the entire length of the | Podocytes (or visceral epithelial cells) are cells in the Bowman's capsule in the kidneys that wrap around capillaries of the glomerulus. The Bowman's capsule filters blood, retaining large molecules such as proteins while smaller molecules such as water, salts, and sugar are filtered as the first step in forming urine. The long processes as foot projections called pedicels, of the podocytes wrap around the capillaries, and leave slits between them. Blood is filtered through these slits, each known as a filtration slit or slit diaphragm. Several proteins are required for the foot projections to wrap around the capillaries and function | The rate of filtration from the glomerulus to the Bowman's capsule is determined (like in systemic capillaries) by the Starling equation 1 : GFR is the glomerular filtration rate. 2 K f is the filtration coefficient – a proportionality constant. 3 P gc is the glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure. Contraction or relaxation of the artery can affect the pressure of capillaries in the glomerulus, and consequently the filtration of blood. Sympathetic nervous system action as well as hormones can also impact glomerular filtration rate by modulating afferent arteriole diameter. | Afferent Arteriole-The blood vessel supplying a nephron. Efferent Arteriole-The blood vessel draining a nephron. Peritubular Capillaries-The network of tiny blood vessels that surrounds the proximal and distal tubules in the kidney. Vasa Recta-The capillary system that serves the loop of Henle. Renal Artery-The blood vessel bringing blood to the kidney. Factors governing the filtration rate at the capillary beds are: (1) total surface area available for filtration (2) filtration membrane permeability (3) net filtration pressure GFR is directly proportional to net filtration pressure because the capillaries are exceptionally permeable and have a huge surface area. | The glomerulus is a tuft of small blood vessels called capillaries located within Bowman's capsule within the kidney. Between the capillaries and Bowman's capsule lies mesangium. Blood enters the capillaries of the glomerulus by a single arteriole called an afferent arteriole and leaves by an efferent arteriole. Contraction or relaxation of the artery can affect the pressure of capillaries in the glomerulus, and consequently the filtration of blood. Sympathetic nervous system action as well as hormones can also impact glomerular filtration rate by modulating afferent arteriole diameter. |

The hemoglobin test may be ordered during a general health examination or when a person has signs and symptoms of a condition affecting red blood cells such as anemia or polycythemia. Some signs and symptoms of anemia include: | hemoglobin (Hb, Hgb) test, a blood test that measures the total amount of hemoglobin in the peripheral blood, which reflects the number of red blood cells in the blood. The test is normally performed as part of a complete blood count. Hemoglobin is a protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A hemoglobin test reveals how much hemoglobin is in a person's blood, helping to diagnose and monitor anemia and polycythemia vera. |
how long does it take the moon to orbit the earth | The Moon orbits Earth in the prograde direction and completes one revolution in approximately 27.322 days (a sidereal month). Earth and the Moon orbit about their barycentre (common center of mass), which lies about 4600 km from Earth's center (about three quarters of the radius of Earth). On average, the Moon is at a distance of about 385000 km from Earth's center, which corresponds to about 60 Earth radii. | How long does it take our Moon to go around Earth? It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant fixed stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon). | If you define orbit to mean the time it takes the Moon to come back to its perigee, that is an anomalistic month, which is 27.55455 days. If you define orbit to mean the time it takes the Moon to return to its ecliptical ascending node, that is a draconic month, which is 27.21222 days. Relevance. Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: It depends on how you define orbit. If you define orbit to mean the time it takes the Moon to come back to the same point with respect to the Sun (new moon to new moon), that is a synodic month, which is 29.53059 days. | If you ignore the earth's orbit around the sun, the moon takes 27.32 days to go 360 degrees around us. In other words, the time it takes to cover 360 degrees of the celestial sphere. But since we orbit the sun, the moon has to travel farther than 360 degrees to reach the same point, with respect to the earth and sun. 29.53 days. That's its synodic period, which is the amount of time it takes to go through its phases. This is by far the most commonly used figure. It has a 27.32 day sidereal revolution around the earth, with respect to the stars. | The moon orbits the earth in a little under 28 earth days. It travels at almost 2,290 miles per hour. Coincidentally, the moon's rotation period is also a little under 28 days, meaning the same face points toward the earth during its entire orbit. The English word month is derived from moonth, which was how long the moon was observed to take to return to a specific phase. 1 This is known as a sidereal month and is measured by observing how long it takes the Moon to pass a fixed star on the celestial sphere. 2 A synodic month is 29.53 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, 2.8 seconds) and is measured from New Moon to New Moon. |
what animal produces tetrodotoxin | Tetrodotoxin, frequently abbreviated as TTX, is a potent neurotoxin. Its name derives from Tetraodontiformes, an order that includes pufferfish, porcupinefish, ocean sunfish or mola, and triggerfish; several species that carry the toxin. Tetrodotoxin binds to what is known as site 1 of the fast voltage-gated sodium channel. Site 1 is located at the extracellular pore opening of the ion channel. The binding of any molecules to this site will temporarily disable the function of the ion channel | Causes. See the list below: Ingestion of tetrodotoxin causes the syndrome. Almost all toxicity is caused by the ingestion of fugu, but other species of animals have been shown to produce tetrodotoxin (eg, California newt, parrot fish, blue-ringed octopus). A death from ingestion of tetrodotoxin from a California newt has been documented. | 1 DESCRIPTION: Tetrodotoxin is an extremely potent poison (toxin) found mainly in the liver and sex organs (gonads) of some fish, such as puffer fish, globefish, and toadfish (order Tetraodontiformes) and in some amphibian, octopus, and shellfish species. | Tetrodotoxin: Mode of Action. The flow of sodium ions into nerve cells is a necessary step in the conduction of nerve impulses in excitable nerve fibers and along axons. Normal axon cells have high concentrations of K+ ions and low concentrations of Na+ ions and have a negative potential. Tetrodotoxin, much larger than the sodium ion, acts like a cork in a bottle, preventing the flow of sodium until it slowly diffuses off. A mortal dose of tetrodotoxin is but a single milligram. Tetrodotoxin competes with the hydrated sodium cation and enters the Na+-channel where it binds. | The use of this toxin as a biochemical probe has elucidated two distinct types of voltage-gated sodium channels present in humans: the tetrodotoxin-sensitive voltage-gated sodium channel (TTX-s Na + channel) and the tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel (TTX-r Na + channel). Tetrodotoxin binds to what is known as site 1 of the fast voltage-gated sodium channel. Site 1 is located at the extracellular pore opening of the ion channel. The binding of any molecules to this site will temporarily disable the function of the ion channel |

usda production costs | Wrapping it Up. The USDA cost of production estimates suggest that 2016 input costs will be similar to 2015. With prices at current levels, this would mean another challenging year for many farmers. For instance, at the estimated trend yield of 166 bushels per acre for corn the costs of production would be $4.11 per bushel. Using this approach soybeans and wheat come in at costs of $10.65 and $6.50 per bushel respectively. | USDA's low cost food plan.

normal temperatures for dogs | The body functions normally at a given temperature range; this is true for humans and for dogs. A dog’s body is set to a normal temperature of 100 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The average canine body temperature is 101.3. | The normal temperature range of an adult canine is between 100 and 102.5 degrees F, or 37.8 and 39.2 degrees C. Typically, the most accurate results will be obtained by taking the dog's temperature rectally, but the temperature can also be taken in the ears, using a digital thermometer. | The normal body temperature for a dog falls within the range of 100°F to 102.5°F (about 38°C to 39.2°C). If your dog's temperature is outside of this range, you should contact your veterinarian. Body temperature over 104°F or under 99°F indicates an emergency situation. | In general, the normal body temperature for animals is higher than for humans. The normal rectal temperature of a dog is 99.5° to 102.5°F. The normal temperature of a puppy at birth is 96-97°F.

what did patsy drink in ab fab | Stoli-Bolli. The Stoli-Bolli cocktail came from an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, in which Patsy and Edina kind of make it up on the fly.

The original and triumphant three series run of Ab Fab ended about four years earlier, in 1995. It’s entirely possible Eddy used Bolli as mouthwash and on her breakfast cereal. | Although Ab Fab was produced by Saunders and French's production company, Dawn French appeared on the show only once, in a cameo in the first-series episode Magazine. Three new specials were announced to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary with the first special, Identity airing on 25 December 2011.

how early can you wean a calf | 1 Calves are ideally weaned when they are 7 to 8 months old. 2 The right time to wean a calf depends on the condition of the cow and not the age of the calf. 3 Calves should be weaned before the condition score of the cow falls below 2,5 if adequate winter feed is available and the cows maintain their condition. | Some people feed the calves while others just wean them on pasture. Calves 4-5 months of age transition better, as they’re used to eating forage. Younger calves are trickier, but if you can meet the nutrient requirements of calves just 2-3 months old, they can be successfully weaned that young, Lardy adds. “If markets are good, some people sell 350- to 400-lb. calves as lightweight stockers early in the season. By weaning their calves early, nutrients are freed up for heifers to complete growth and have a healthy pregnancy,” Lardy says. Trey Patterson, chief operations officer for Padlock Ranch, Ranchester, WY, says they sometimes wean calves as early as four months old, mainly on first-calf heifers, but sometimes cows. | If a newborn calf is unable to nurse its dam, use of a surrogate cow may be the best way to raise the calf until weaning. Bottle-fed calves can be weaned after one month of age, while calves nursing cows are weaned between 3 and 8 months of age. It is usually best to wean at the older age. For comparing weight of calves weaned at different ages, a 205-day weaning weight is sometimes calculated. | Calves can be ready for weaning by 3 to 4 weeks of age; however, in Penn State studies calves weaned at 3 weeks required extra attention. The increased time and labor required to get these calves eating starter suggest that waiting until 4 weeks of age would be prudent. Body weight at 8 weeks of age was the same for all calves and averaged 164 pounds. This meant that calves nearly doubled their birth weight by 8 weeks of age, a good parameter in any calf feeding system. Average daily gains also were similar. Height at the hips and withers was similar too, regardless of weaning age. | 1 Weaning early can result in improved conception rates, provided the calves are weaned during the breeding season. 2 This would require weaning calves at a very young age (calves need to be weaned at 45 to 105 days of age to allow increased conception rates). Early weaned calves can achieve adequate rates of growth if given access to a high quality ration. By the time calves are 3 to 4 months of age, they are consuming significant amounts of forage. At 6 to 7 months of age, calves will consume approximately half the amount of forage as a mature cow. |

what is baloney | Baloney is a now much-maligned North American sausage used primarily as an inexpensive cold cut for sandwiches. It is not really known in Europe. Baloney is a lightly-spiced sandwich or luncheon meat that is already cooked and ready to eat. Language Notes. The word Baloney is also used now as a euphemism for saying something is hogwash, bullshit or rubbish. When this meaning is meant, the word is certainly almost always spelt Baloney and not Bologna. | Bologna sausage, sometimes phonetically spelled as baloney (/bəˈloʊni/), boloney or polony, is a sausage derived from the Italian mortadella, a similar-looking, finely ground pork sausage containing cubes of lard, originally from the Italian city of Bologna, [boˈloɲɲa]. ). Ring bologna is much smaller in diameter than standard bologna. It is a good size for slicing and putting on crackers as a snack or hors d'oeuvre (as opposed to the sandwich-sized slices of typical bologna). It is generally sold as an entire link rather than sliced. | Bologna is a cooked, smoked sausage made of cured beef, cured pork or a mixture of the two. The bologna might include choice cuts, depending on who's making it, but usually contains afterthoughts of the meat industry-organs, trimmings, end pieces and so on.

It is similar to the Italian mortadella, which originated in the Italian city of Bologna. The inexpensive deli meat is often pronounced and spelled “baloney.”. (Go here to learn the exact meaning of the word “deli.”). While Oscar Mayer Americanized bologna, it is enjoyed in different forms throughout the world. In Newfoundland, it is a popular breakfast food called the Newfie Steak | The pronunciation of bologna, when used to refer the smoked sausage is similar to the pronunciation of baloney. The pronunciation of Bologna, when referring to the town, is very close to the Italian pronunciation, which is /boˈloɲɲa/ (compare it with /laˈzaɲɲa/ for the Italian lasagna). What the answer says is Actually, 'baloney' comes from a pronunciation of the city name.. It doesn't report which pronunciations of the town were used, and it doesn't explain why the pronunciation is different for the town name and for the sausage name. – kiamlaluno Jul 28 '11 at 19:17. |

does the rorschach test diagnose schizophrenia | Two views on using the Rorschach test for diagnosing schizophrenia: The Rorschach Test in Clinical Diagnosis: A Critical Review. J Clin Psychol. 2000 Mar;56(3):395-430; discussion 431-4. Let's Call the Whole Thing Off-A Response to Dawes 2001. The Scientific American article points out that the Rorschach test (along with the similar TAT assessment) has both a low scoring validity and low reliability. Scoring validity errors often come from the subjective assessments of the professionals who administer the test. | 1 Psychological testing can also be used to further explore the symptoms of schizophrenia. 2 These tests can include cognitive testing, personality testing, and open-ended or projective testing such as the Rorschach (inkblot) test. 1 Generally, laboratory results and imaging studies available to most doctors are normal in schizophrenia. 2 If the person has a particular behavior as part of a mental disorder, such as drinking too much water, then this might show as a metabolic abnormality in the person's laboratory results. | Rorschach himself never intended the inkblots to be used as a general personality test, but developed them as a tool for the diagnosis of schizophrenia. It wasn't until 1939 that the test was used as a projective test of personality, a use of which Rorschach had always been sceptical. The Rorschach test (Template:IPA-de; also known as the Rorschach inkblot test, the Rorschach technique, or simply the inkblot test) is a projective personality measure test used in personality assessment. | The Rorschach Inkblot Test is a projective psychological test consisting of 10 inkblots printed on cards (five in black and white, five in color) created in 1921 with the publication of Psychodiagnostik by Hermann Rorschach. During the 1940s and 1950s, the test was synonymous with clinical psychology. The Rorschach Inkblot test was not originally intended to be a projective measure of personality. Instead, it was meant to produce a profile of people with schizophrenia (or other mental disorders) based upon score frequencies. Rorschach himself was skeptical of his test being used as a projective measure. | The Rorschach Test is a projective psychological test developed in 1921 to measure thought disorder. It was developed from the observation that schizophrenia patients often interpret ambiguous images in very unusual ways. In the test, the participant is shown a series of ten ink blot cards and directed to respond to each with what the inkblot looks like. |
what is uml | UML is a common language for business analysts, software architects and developers used to describe, specify, design, and document existing or new business processes, structure and behavior of artifacts of software systems. UML is a standard modeling language, not a software development process. UML 1.4.2 Specification explained that process: 1 provides guidance as to the order of a team’s activities, 2 specifies what artifacts should be developed, | The Unified Modeling Language (UML). “UML is an industry standard modeling language with a rich graphical notation, and comprehensive set of diagrams and elements. A comprehensive UML modeling tool like Enterprise Architect is the ideal way to take control of your software or business project now!”. The UML is a tool for specifying software systems. Standardized diagram types to help you describe and visually map a software system's design and structure. Using UML it is possible to model just about any kind of application, both specifically and independently of a target platform. | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. UML logo. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general-purpose, developmental, modeling language in the field of software engineering, that is intended to provide a standard way to visualize the design of a system. The most prominent example of a Layer 2 Meta-Object Facility model is the UML metamodel, the model that describes the UML itself. These M2-models describe elements of the M1-layer, and thus M1-models. These would be, for example, models written in UML. The last layer is the M0-layer or data layer. | USES OF UNIFIED MODELING LANGUAGE: UML is used for system design. Since UML uses visual depictions of software in the system design, it makes communication simpler and tasks easier to execute. Unified Modeling Language uses diagrams to create these visual descriptions called Use Case Diagrams. UML is basically a graphical modeling language. It can be a standardized tool for system design. The great part of Unified Modeling Language is that it can be used across all stages of the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) and later while being implemented in the real world and for the maintenance purposes too. | To understand UML, we need to first reference the organization that is responsible for bringing this language together and agreeing on a standard for laying out a way to visualize complex systems and their requirements. The Object Management Group (OMG) is the group of professionals that does this. The OMG defines the purpose of the UML as follows: The objective of UML is to provide system architects, software engineers, and software developers with tools for analysis, design, and implementation of software-based systems as well as for modeling business and similar processes. |
what is a retroreflector | A retroreflector (sometimes called a retroflector or cataphote) is a device or surface that reflects light back to its source with a minimum of scattering. An alternative form of the cat's eye retroreflector uses a normal lens focused onto a curved mirror rather than a transparent sphere, though this type is much more limited in the range of incident angles over which it retroreflects. | A retroreflector reflects incoming light and directs it back to its source. The light is reflected parallel to the direction it came from, but in the completely opposite direction. Common types include the corner cube retroreflector, which can send light back long distances and is useful on highways. Other common types are mirrors, paints, tapes, and retroreflective arrays, such as those that have been placed on the moon or satellites | A retroreflector is an optical device that returns an oncoming beam of light back to its source. It can be as simple as a tiny glass sphere or a type of prism formed from glass or plastic. | Science Experiments-Laser Ranging Retroreflector. The Laser Ranging Retroreflector experiment was deployed on Apollo 11, 14, and 15. It consists of a series of corner-cube reflectors, which are a special type of mirror with the property of always reflecting an incoming light beam back in the direction it came from. The Laser Ranging Retroreflector experiment has produced many important measurements. These include an improved knowledge of the Moon's orbit and the rate at which the Moon is receding from Earth (currently 3.8 centimeters per year) and of variations in the rotation of the Moon. | The Apollo 15 Lunar Laser Ranging RetroReflector. The Apollo 15 Lunar Laser Ranging RetroReflector (LRRR) array is one of four such working arrays on the surface of the Moon. As the largest (105 x 65 cm in size) it serves as the primary target for laser ranging to the Moon. The Apollo 15 array is one of four usable such arrays on the Moon.

Any defect in a specific property that could either affect a buyer’s decision to purchase it or affect the property’s value, such as a cracked foundation. Share/Bookmark. | At common law, a seller, and correspondingly, a seller’s agent, must disclose all known material latent defects. A latent defect is one that is not visible upon ordinary inspection, but which materially affects the property’s use or value. On the other hand, a patent defect is one that is readily visible and/or obvious upon ordinary inspection. A patent defect may also materially affect the property’s use or value | 1 Don't confuse your duty with the definition. 2 A material defect must be reported based on what is observed by the inspector. 3 Those not observed or discovered cannot be reported, even though they may adversely impact the value of the property or pose an unreasonable risk to people. 1 It is the inspector's own experience and judgment that enable him/her to make the ultimate decision to call out a defect as material, which is why there is no specific photo or lengthy checklist that can teach or tell the inspector what constitutes one (although we've made an effort for purposes of this article). | Read it, because it will help you decide what kinds of problems you must disclose. Do not forget a material latent defect may be more than a physical defect in the property. It is not possible to list every type of material latent defect, but they include defects that: 1 make a property dangerous or potentially dangerous. 2 make a property unfit to live in. 3 make a property unfit for the buyer’s purpose (if the buyer has told their industry member or the seller’s industry member the purpose). |
where insulin is produced | Insulin is produced in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. The name insulin comes from the Latin ''insula'' for island from the cells that produce the hormone in the pancreas. It has a molecular weight of 5808 Da. Insulin is produced in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. The name insulin comes from the Latin ''insula'' for island from the cells that produce the hormone in the pancreas. Insulin's structure varies slightly between species of animal. | Background. Insulin is a hormone that regulates the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood and is required for the body to function normally. Insulin is produced by cells in the pancreas, called the islets of Langerhans. | Insulin is a hormone made by an organ located behind the stomach called the pancreas. Here, insulin is released into the bloodstream by specialised cells called beta-cells found in areas of the pancreas called islets of Langerhans (the term insulin comes from the Latin insula meaning island). | Insulin is a hormone, which is a type of chemical. In the body, insulin is produced in the pancreas. It is needed to allow sugars, or glucose, from food to enter cells. There, glucose is broken down (metabolized) to produce the energy needed for the cells to work properly. | Best Answer: Insulin is produced by the beta cells of the islets of Lagerhans lying interspersed in the pancreatic follicles. Insulin controls blood sugar level. It brings down the blood sugar level by letting body cells to absorb. Deficiency of insulin causes diabetes mellitus. Insulin is produced in/by the pancreas. What insulin does, is it helps to regulate your blood glucose--the sugar level in your blood, from the foods/beverages you consume daily. |
what size is a jumbo loan | Mortgage loan limits were reduced in the country's higher-priced housing markets Oct. 1, 2011. In most (but not all) U.S. counties, any mortgage of more than $417,000 is a jumbo loan -- and jumbo mortgages have higher interest rates than smaller loans. In counties with high home prices, borrowers are able to get mortgages for more than $417,000 without paying the higher jumbo interest rates. | Mortgage loans are allowed to exceed these loan limits. Larger loans are called jumbo mortgages. The cost of obtaining a jumbo mortgage is generally higher than the cost of obtaining other loans. For this reason, they are often higher-priced mortgage loans. | A jumbo mortgage is a home loan with an amount that exceeds conforming loan limits imposed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two government-sponsored enterprises that buy mortgages from lenders. | Jumbo loan limits in California range from $417,000 to over $600,000. The median value of a home in California is more than double the median values of homes for United States as a whole, even though the median income is only slightly higher. | The maximum debt-to-income ratio for jumbo loan borrowers is 45 percent. Additionally, jumbo borrowers need at least six months' worth of reserves in their bank accounts after closing, while conforming loan borrowers may be required to only have one or two months' worth of mortgage payments set aside. |
what is methylation therapy | Methylation Therapy. The biochemistry of the body needs to be evaluated and addressed whenever their is a fertility concern. Couples who struggle to conceive have higher rates of methylation impairments. Methylation is the process by which we produce healthy DNA. Methylation also promotes healthy hormone regulation and reduces toxic and inflammatory load. The methylation cycle in the body sits directly next to the folic acid cyle | Epigenetic therapy is the use of drugs or other epigenome-influencing techniques to treat medical conditions. Many diseases, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and mental illnesses are influenced by epigenetic mechanisms, and epigenetic therapy offers a potential way to influence those pathways directly. Diabetic retinopathy is known to be associated with a number of epigenetic markers, including methylation of the Sod2 and MMP-9 genes, an increase in transcription of LSD1, a H3K4 and H3K9 demethylase, and various DNA Methyl-Transferases (DNMTs), and increased presence of miRNAs for transcription factors and VEGF. | An Index to ‘B-12 the Hidden Story’. When I discovered methylation and B12 therapy, I became obsessed with understanding it (and my startup reaction). I read through the entire ‘Hidden Story‘ thread (maybe 80 hours worth) on Phoenix Rising (and watched all of the methylation videos I could get my hands on). I can only answer for myself and I am by no means an expert on anaphylaxis. In talking to thousands of people over the past 8 years what I have seen is that almost any type of stress on the body can tip some people over the edge into the b12 deficiency and methylation shutdown. | DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to DNA. Methylation modifies the function of the DNA, typically acting to suppress gene transcription. DNA methylation suppresses the expression of endogenous retroviral genes and other harmful stretches of DNA that have been incorporated into the host genome over time. DNA methylation also forms the basis of chromatin structure, which enables a single cell to grow into multiple organs or perform multiple functions. | 1 Key substances in the body affected by methylation include: DNA/RNA (i.e. genes), neurotransmitters, hormones, neurons, cellular membranes and their signaling mechanisms, immune cells, enzymes, proteins, and many many others. Methylation summary. 1 Methylation is the process whereby methyl groups (-CH3) are donated to other molecules. 2 This addition alters the body’s chemistry; sometimes activating it and sometimes inactivating it, depending upon the chemistry in question. |

what does gingival currattage do | It has been replaced by vacuum aspiration over the last decade. Curettage has been used to treat teeth affected by periodontitis. Gingival curettage is a surgical procedure designed to remove the soft tissue lining of the periodontal pocket with a curet, leaving only a gingival connective tissue lining. ... Curettage (/ˌkjʊərɪˈtɑːʒ/ or /kjʊˈrɛtɪdʒ/), in medical procedures, is the use of a curette (French, meaning scoop) to remove tissue by scraping or scooping. Curettages are also a declining method of abortion. | Thus, curettage is the conversion of the chronic inflammatory ulcer to the gingival wall of the pocket into a surgical wound. Curettage can be used alone as a separate procedure, after root planing has been performed, or as in combination with root planing to eliminate the pocket. The healing mechanism of the periodontal tissue at the curettage site is as followed. All the epithelial attachment and the ulcerated epithelial lining of the soft tissue wall are curetted out, and all granulation tissue is removed. The gingival tissue is carefully readapted to the tooth. | Definition : “ gingival curettage means the scraping of gingival wall of periodontal pocket to removal inflammated soft tissue. Gingival curettage: gingival curettage consists of the removal of inflamed soft tissue lateral to pocket wall. Sub gingival curettage: sub gingival curettage refers to procedure that is performed apical to junctional epithelium in which the connective tissue attachment is severed down to osseous crest. The aim of curettage is to reduce pocket depth by enhancing gingival shrinkage and new connective tissue attachment. | Curettage in dentistry is of two types. 1.Gingival curettage consists of removal of inflamed soft tissue lateral to the pocket wall. 2.Subgingival curettage refers to the procedure that is performed apical to the epithelial attachment, severing the connective tissue attachment to the osseous crest. Written by Paresh Soni. In laymen terms curettage in dentistry specially in periodontics mean the scraping of the inside of the gingival wall of a periodontal pocket to separate diseased soft tissue. | Gingival curet-tage is a distinct procedure that may be performedin conjunction with, or subsequent to, scaling androot planing (SRP). The SRP procedure is aimed atthe complete removal of bacteria, biofilm, calculus,and diseased root structure to achieve a biologicallyacceptable root surface. |

what are the types of plants in the savanna | Grass Patches... and a Few Trees. The savanna is characterized by its variety of grasses. However, it is not the lush grasses of grasslands that extend as far as the eye can see. Instead, the grasses are often in thick clumps with bare ground and shrubs in between. There are many types of grasses in the savanna, such as Rhodes grass, red oats grass and lemon grass. The Bermuda grass that many plant in their lawns is native to the African savanna as is elephant grass, which can grow 10 feet (3 m) tall | Savannas are also characterised by seasonal water availability, with the majority of rainfall confined to one season; they are associated with several types of biomes, and are frequently in a transitional zone between forest and desert or grassland. Savanna covers approximately 20% of the Earth's land area. Savanna ecoregions are of several different types: 1 Tropical and subtropical savannas are classified with tropical and subtropical grasslands and shrublands as the tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome. | ANIMALS: There are many different types of animals that live in the savanna. The species found in savannas vary by the geographic location of the biome. Animals native to African savannas include African elephants, zebras, horses, and giraffes. Many animals in the savanna are herbivores, which means they eat plants, and there is plenty of grass in the savanna. During the rainy months animals thrive in the savanna, but the rainy season is only half the year. | Tropical Savannah: Plants Grasses are the dominant plant life in the savanna. A wide variety of grasses grow in savannas, but different varieties are found in different savannas. Some grasses grow 6 to 9 feet tall. Trees growing alone or in small clusters are also part of the savanna biome. In fact, without the trees, the savanna biome would be considered a prairie. The variety of trees in a particular savanna is dependent upon the geographic location of the savanna. The acacia and baobab trees are common in African savannas. | Savanna Plant Life. Plants of the savannas are highly specialized to grow in this environment of long periods of drought. They have long tap roots that can reach the deep water table, thick bark to resist annual fires, trunks that can store water, and leaves that drop of during the winter to conserve water. The savanna is covered by grasses such as Rhodes grass, red oats grass, star grass, lemon grass, and some shrubs.. There are various types of trees that will grow in particular areas of a savanna biome. They include pine trees, palm trees, and acacia trees. |
where does mrna synthesis occur in eukaryotes | In prokaryotes, RNA synthesis and protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes, RNA is produced in the cells nucleus and then moves to the cytoplasm to play … a role in the production of protein. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus. RNA polymerase II transcribes the DNA forming an mRNA transcript. The mRNA is then modified. | Transcription is when RNA is made from DNA. During transcription, RNA polymerase makes a copy of a gene from the DNA to mRNA as needed. This process is similar in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In general, in prokaryotes the lifetime of mRNA is much shorter than in eukaryotes. Prokaryotes degrade messages by using a combination of ribonucleases, including endonucleases, 3' exonucleases, and 5' exonucleases. | Eukaryotic Cell. Transcription and translation are spatially and temporally separated in eukaryotic cells; that is, transcription occurs in the nucleus to produce a pre-mRNA molecule. The pre-mRNA is typically processed to produce the mature mRNA, which exits the nucleus and is translated in the cytoplasm | Gene transcription occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.Unlike prokaryotic RNA polymerase that initiates the transcription of all different types of RNA, RNA polymerase in eukaryotes (including humans) comes in three variations, each encoding a different type of gene. The transcription of rRNA genes takes place in a specialised structure of the nucleus called the nucleolus, where the transcribed rRNAs are combined with proteins to form ribosomes. RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is responsible for the transcription of all mRNAs, some snRNAs, siRNAs, and all miRNAs. | A eukaryotic cell has a nucleus that separates the processes of transcription and translation.

why was social security act considered radical | The Social Security Act created a joint federal and state program for both unemployment insurance and old age pension. The social Security Act, which was considered radical when enacted, is today considered one of the mainstays of American society. FDR had first proposed a Social Security Act in 1930, as governor of New York. The idea was not radical. Bismarck had introduced it in Germany in the 1880s. However, despite being proposed a number of times, the idea had never received traction in the United States. | The Social Security Act of 1934 was created during Franklin D. Roosevelt 's first term by the President's Committee on Economic Security, under Frances Perkins, and passed by Congress as part of the Second New Deal. The Social Security Act, Pub.L. 74–271, 49 Stat. 620, enacted August 14, 1935, now codified as 42 U.S.C. ch. 7, was a social welfare legislative act which created the Social Security system in the United States | Many of the federal and state programs that provide income security to U.S. families have their roots in the Social Security Act (the Act) of 1935. This Act provided for unemployment insurance, old-age insurance, and means-tested welfare programs. The Great Depression was clearly a catalyst for the Social Security Act of 1935, and some of its provisions—notably the means-tested programs—were intended to offer immediate relief to families. The publication of this article coincides with the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Social Security Act. The history and development of the Social Security program from its inception to the present is discussed. | The first four decades of the Social Security program were, in general, ones of expansion. In fact, the program was expanded even before it became truly operational. In 1939, amendments added child, spouse, and survivor benefits to the retirement benefits authorized by the 1935 Act. The publication of this article coincides with the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Social Security Act. The history and development of the Social Security program from its inception to the present is discussed. | The Social Security Act was enacted August 14, 1935. The Act was drafted during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term by the President's Committee on Economic Security, under Frances Perkins, and passed by Congress as part of the New Deal. In the original 1935 law, the benefit provisions were in Title II of the Act (which is why Social Security is sometimes referred to as the Title II program.) The taxing provisions were in a separate title (Title VIII) (for reasons related to the constitutionality of the 1935 Act). |

what environment biological weathering | 1 Oxidation: This occurs within the chemical environment and makes the rocks soft. 2 Biological: Biological weathering is when acidic chemicals are released by plants and animals. 3 Carbonation: When carbon dioside is added to the rocks and minerals it may result in their dissolution. 1 is a chemical weathering process affecting Silicate minerals. 2 In such reactions, pure water ionizes slightly and reacts with silicate minerals. 3 Oxidation: This occurs within the chemical environment and makes the rocks soft. 4 | Two important classifications of weathering processes exist – physical and chemical weathering; each sometimes involves a biological component. Mechanical or physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks and soils through direct contact with atmospheric conditions, such as heat, water, ice and pressure. Chemical weathering changes the composition of rocks, often transforming them when water interacts with minerals to create various chemical reactions. Chemical weathering is a gradual and ongoing process as the mineralogy of the rock adjusts to the near surface environment. | Weathering is the process of disintegration of rock from physical, chemical, and biological stresses. Weathering is influenced by temperature and moisture (climate). As rock disintegrates, it becomes more susceptible to further physical, chemical, and biological weathering due to the increase in exposed surface area. | Biological Weathering. Biological weathering involves the disintegration of rock and mineral due to the chemical and/or physical agents of an organism. The types of organisms that can cause weathering range from bacteria to plants to animals. Biological weathering involves processes that can be either chemical or physical in character. Some of the more important processes are: 1. Simple breaking of particles, by the consumption of soils particles by animals. | Weathering is the breakdown and alteration of rocks and minerals at or near the Earth's surface into products that are more in equilibrium with the conditions found in this environment. Most rocks and minerals are formed deep within the Earth's crust where temperatures and pressures differ greatly from the surface.

why is an mri so noisy | MRIs also notice the strength of these radio signals. Where there is a lot of water, for example in muscle, the signal is strong, and where there is less water, for example in bone, the signal is weak. The different strengths of the radio waves enable the MRI to fill in the image with the proper shades of gray. An MRI is noisy because its magnetic field is created by running electrical current through a coiled wire—an electromagnet. When the current is switched on, there is an outward force all along the coil. And because the magnetic field is so strong, the force on the coil is very large. The frequency of the proton's radio wave is determined by its wobbling rate; so the protons in water emit a radio frequency of about 50 million cycles per second. The heart of an MRI is basically just a strong magnet and a radio transmitter and receiver, plus a lot of electronics to coordinate their operation. | People taking MRI scan say that it makes so much sound while operating. The magnetic field gradients in the MRI scanning process are trapped as rapid pulses into the computer to create 3-dimensional images of the region of body in the patient. The electric field creates magnetic pulses that are transient and not permanent. It is generated when the machine is running. There is also static magnetic field created strongly by the magnets in the machine. Essentially there are two magnetic fields created which are facing in opposite directions. MRI scanning is really a boon to the human society for diagnosing many disorders and helps the doctors for giving the patients optimal treatment. It is today considered a standard diagnostic technology available since its invention about 27 years ago. | Question of the Month Answered by: Russ Jacobs, Ph.D., Member of the Beckman Institute, Biology. Magnetic resonance imaging machines, or MRIs, use strong magnetic fields and radio waves to look inside a patient without the need for surgery or the use of damaging radiation such as X-rays. The frequency of the proton's radio wave is determined by its wobbling rate; so the protons in water emit a radio frequency of about 50 million cycles per second. The heart of an MRI is basically just a strong magnet and a radio transmitter and receiver, plus a lot of electronics to coordinate their operation. | A. The banging is the vibration of metal coils in the machine caused by rapid pulses of electricity, said Dr. Keith Hentel, chief of emergency/musculoskeletal imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. The pulses cause not just the desired changes but undesired vibrations of the gradient coils, resulting in the banging heard during an M.R.I. examination. As stronger magnets result in stronger vibrations, the higher the field strength of the M.R.I. scanner, measured in teslas, the louder the banging, Dr. Hentel said. | Inside the scanner are coils of metallic wire. When electricity passes through the coils, a magnetic field is created and the coils vibrate. The sound the MRI makes is the metal coils vibrating and banging together inside the machine, creating a very strong magnetic field. The sound may reach up to 100 Decibels, so patients are required to use ear protection. We also have a sound system so the patient may enjoy music through headphones while being scanned. |
what kinds of food do spaniards eat | Confidence votes 17.1K. The Spanish eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, sea food, chicken, pork and beef in that order. They also use rice and chick peas. What differs from one region to another is the way they put them together. Some of Spain's best fish restaurants are in Madrid and La Dorada is one of them, one of their great dishes is called the Dorada al Sal. Some of the most popular foods in Spai … n are fish, potatoes, rice, ham, cheese and sausage. Many of them also grow their own fruits and vegetables. | Mexican food aside, Spain has so much more to offer in terms of food and drink. Forget what you think you know about Spanish food and start from scratch when you arrive. Spain is such a culturally diverse country, with 17 distinct regions, each with their own history, foods, and even their own languages. The north of Spain is a very good place to eat, but Paella is a more popular food in the south. In large cities, sometimes, frozen paella is served to tourists, and so it is best to test it in other smaller cities. My mother cooks a very good Paella, and she is not from Valencia. 2. | Tapas are the most popular food in Spain. These are a many types of food, I don’t explain it correctly because really these are a many types of food, but all of tapas are a small portions. If you visit Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia and you want to eat Tapas, it’s probably that you pay too much.

Restaurants of every variety, food venders, and food markets are almost everywhere in the inner cities. At regular intervals along the regional highways of Spain, just as in the USA, one can find roadside restaurants. | Robert George Young/Photographer's Choice RF/Getty Images. Spaniards love their food! In fact, the typical Spaniard probably eats more food than any one of us in the USA, but they take their time eating, spread their meals throughout the day, and walk between meals. Spaniards are night owls. The typical Spaniard does not eat dinner until at least 9 o’clock in the evening and probably does not get to bed until close to midnight. On the weekends, on holidays and during the summer months, it wouldn’t be unusual for a Spanish family to turn in round 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning. |
what is the purpose of candida | Candida Albicans is an opportunistic fungus (or form of yeast) that is the cause of many undesirable symptoms ranging from fatigue and weight gain, to joint pain and gas. Candida overgrowth can result from many different causes, but antibiotics and poor diet are the most common. The purpose of a Candida Cleanse is to reduce the excess growth of Candida, then repopulate the intestine with ‘good’ bacteria using probiotics. The Candida Cleanse is a 3-step process, which you can see detailed below | For other uses, see Candida. Candida is a genus of yeasts and is the most common cause of fungal infections worldwide. Many species are harmless commensals or endosymbionts of hosts including humans; however, when mucosal barriers are disrupted or the immune system is compromised they can invade and cause disease. Among Candida species, C. albicans, which is a normal constituent of the human flora, a commensal of the skin and the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, is responsible for the majority of Candida bloodstream infections (candidemia). | One family, Candida Albicans, lives in all mucous membranes, such as the eyes, ears, bladder, stomach lungs, vagina, and intestines. It is one of the billions of other friendly organisms that serve a useful purpose in the body. One of its important functions is to recognise and destroy harmful bacteria. This enables it to strengthn and take further hold. Candida is the name used to describe yeast overgrowth in the body. The technical term is Candidiasis. Candida is a yeast that is a single cell fungi that velongs to the vegetable kingdom. | Candida albicans is a diploid fungus that grows both as yeast and filamentous cells and a causal agent of opportunistic oral and genital infections in humans, and candidal onychomycosis, an infection of the nail plate. | Candida albicans is the most commonly isolated species, and can cause infections (candidiasis or thrush) in humans and other animals. In winemaking, some species of Candida can potentially spoil wines. Among Candida species, C. albicans, which is a normal constituent of the human flora, a commensal of the skin and the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, is responsible for the majority of Candida bloodstream infections (candidemia). |
what makes ethical funds ethical | Ethical Fund. A mutual fund in which the asset managers make investment decisions based upon some ethical code. An ethical fund is marketed to investors who may have moral objections to certain investment vehicles or companies. For example, an individual may have a moral objection to smoking and may therefore buy shares in a mutual fund that refrains from investing in tobacco companies | A green or ethical/SRI (socially responsible investment) fund is a fund where the choice of investments is influenced by one or more social, environmental or other ethical criterion. For example, an ethical fund might have criteria which enable it to invest in the oil and gas sector, but only in those oil companies which are ‘best in their class’ as they have a better record on the environment and human rights than others in their sector. | For example, an ethical fund might exclude securities of companies that are known to practice discrimination, that operate in certain countries, or that produce specific products (for example, those having to do with nuclear weapons or nuclear power plants). An ethical fund is marketed to investors who may have moral objections to certain investment vehicles or companies. | While many ethical funds adopt one or two ethical investment methods, Australian Ethical applies three methods to identify positive investments: 1 Negative screening – Avoiding investment in industries which have a negative impact on society and the environment. Ethical investment is also known as sustainable investment and socially responsible investment (SRI). The term describes an investment process that incorporates environmental and social factors when selecting investments, in addition to the objective of achieving a competitive financial return. | Green and ethical funds. A green or ethical/SRI (socially responsible investment) fund is a fund where the choice of investments is influenced by one or more social, environmental or other ethical criterion. There are three main approaches to green and ethical investment: screening, best in class and engagement. For example, an ethical fund might have criteria which enable it to invest in the oil and gas sector, but only in those oil companies which are ‘best in their class’ as they have a better record on the environment and human rights than others in their sector. |

how long does it take for your body to get hypothermia | Hypothermia is a physical condition that occurs when the body's core temperature falls below a normal 98.6° F (37° C) to 95° F (35° C) or cooler. Think of hypothermia as the opposite of heat stroke. | The Facts on Hypothermia and Cold Weather. Cold water (less than 70° F) can lower your body temperature, causing hypothermia. If your body temperature drops too low, you may pass out and then drown. The human body cools 25 times faster in cold water than it does in ai | Report Abuse. Hypothermia can set in as little as 2 minutes if the water is that cold. In Puget Sound, temp about 50 F it is estimated at 12 minutes for an adult, less for a child. Jim W · 7 years ago. Thumbs up. Any temperatures below body temperature has the potential to cause hypothermia, though it is usually only a concern with outside temperatures of lower than about 60 degrees f. | The chart below shows how long you can be exposed to certain temperatures before it will result in frost bite. For example, a temperature of 0°F and a wind speed of 15 mph creates a wind chill temperature of -19°F. Under these conditions frost bite can occur in just 30 minutes. In some areas of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, wind chill reached below negative 60 degrees, according to the NWS, when exposed skin can freeze in just freeze in 10 minutes. | Hypothermia occurs when the body gets cold and loses heat faster than the body can make it. A rectal temperature is considered the most accurate body temperature. A normal rectal body temperature ranges from 97.5°F (36.4°C) to 99.6°F (37.6°C) , and for most people it is 98.6°F (37°C) . Your body temperature can drop to a low level at temperatures of 50°F (10°C) or higher in wet and windy weather, or if you are in 60°F (16°C) to 70°F (21°C) water.

how long does it take for your body to get hypothermia | Surprisingly, hypothermia can occur at any temperature lower than normal body temperature. Factors like body fat, age, alcohol consumption, and especially wetness can affect how long hypothermia takes to strike. If you fall into water, the situation becomes drastically more dangerous. For example, in water 32.5 degrees Fahrenheit or colder, you might not survive more than 15-to-45 minutes. Under these conditions frost bite can occur in just 30 minutes. In some areas of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, wind chill reached below negative 60 degrees, according to the NWS, when exposed skin can freeze in just freeze in 10 minutes. | After 20 to 30 minutes your body core temperature will drop to 35 C (95 F.) Even in ice water hypothermia does not set in until after 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the amount and type of clothing. | Hypothermia is caused by getting too cold, as the body loses more heat than it can generate and body temperature drops below 35C (95F). There are different types of hypothermia, depending on how quickly the body loses heat: | Hypothermia occurs when the body gets cold and loses heat faster than the body can make it.

thyroid gland produces calcitonin | The thyroid gland also produces another hormone called calcitonin, and the parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone and calcitonin participate in control of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and have significant effects on bone physiology. | The thyroid gland produces 3 hormones; calcitonin, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). T3 and T4 have similar functions and are involved in the control of metabolism, whereas calcitonin is involved in regulating the levels of blood calcium. Calcitonin. Calcitonin is produced by the C cells of the thyroid gland and is released when levels of calcium in the blood are increased. Its role is to decrease the amount of calcium in the blood. It has the opposite action to parathyroid hormone, which increases the amount of calcium in the blood when levels fall | Your thyroid gland produces the hormones T3 and thyroxine (T4), which play a role in metabolism. Your thyroid also produces calcitonin, which helps regulate blood calcium levels. In this lesson, you will learn about the thyroid gland and its hormones, including how they are regulated by TSH. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4. We previously learned that thyroid-stimulating hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, which is the important master gland that is responsible for affecting many body organs. | Calcitonin is a hormone that is produced and released by the C-cells of the thyroid gland. Its biological function in humans is unclear. Alternative names for calcitonin CT; thyrocalcitonin. What is calcitonin? Calcitonin is a hormone that is produced in humans by the parafollicular cells (commonly known as C-cells) of the thyroid gland. Calcitonin is involved in helping to regulate levels of calcium and phosphate in the blood, opposing the action of parathyroid hormone | Calcitonin. The thyroid gland cells also make a hormone called calcitonin. Calcitonin works in partnership with another hormone called parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone is made by glands called the parathyroid glands, which are behind the thyroid gland and are attached to it. |

what is a statute mile | A statute mile is the name given to the definitive measurement used in Britain and America, where the miles referred to on roads signs or maps for example are statute miles. There are slight differences between the statute, international and nautical mile. | With qualifiers, mile is also used to describe or translate a wide range of units derived from or roughly equivalent to the Roman mile, such as the nautical mile (now 1.852 km exactly), the Italian mile (roughly 1.852 km), and the Chinese mile (now 500 m exactly). In British English, the statute mile may refer to the present international miles or to any other form of English mile since the 1593 Act of Parliament which set it as a distance of 1,760 yards. Under American law, however, the statute mile refers to the US survey mile. | Confidence votes 12.6K. A mile, as we know it today, is 5,280 feet ('nautical miles' being something else).

is serratia marcescens casein test | There are other biochemical tests that help to identify Serratia marcescens in the lab. It is negative for the methyl red test due to their production of 2, 3 - butanediol and ethanol, but positive for the Voges-Proskauer test, which shows an organism’s ability to convert pyruvate to acetoin [4]. Hydrolysis of casein is not a common trait and is therefore useful in the differentiation of Serratia marcescens from the 438 strains of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonadaceae families [12]. Serratia marcescens has the reproducible capability to break down casein producing a clearing on milk agar plates. Casein is a protein precipitated from milk that forms the basis of cheese and certain plastics [5 | S. marcescens may also be found in environments such as dirt, supposedly sterile places, and the subgingival biofilm of teeth. Due to this, and because S. marcescens produces a reddish-orange tripyrrole pigment called prodigiosin, it may cause staining of the teeth. The biochemical pathway for the production of prodigiosin by S. marcescens is unknown except for the final two steps | S. marcescens results in a negative test. Another determination of S. marcescens is its capability to produce lactic acid via oxidative and fermentative metabolism. Therefore, it is said that S. marcescens is lactic acid O/F+. It is commonly found in the respiratory and urinary tracts of hospitalized adults and in the gastrointestinal system of children. Serratia may be correctly pronounced Ser-ra-shia (common) or Ser-rah-tee-a. | S. marcescens results in a negative test.

what kind of nectar do butterflies drink | Most adult butterflies drink nectar from flowers through their tongues, which function much like straws. A minority of butterflies almost never visits flowers, instead gaining sustenance from tree sap, rotting animal matter, and other organic material. Butterfly caterpillars almost all eat plant matter. | In fact, you may find that in one part of the country the butterflies may prefer to eat from one type of nectar plant and in another area they may prefer a different nectar plant. Butterfly nectar plant preferences can even vary from garden to garden which may be due to changes in soil types, pH, etc. | What do caterpillars eat. Caterpillars eat mostly leaves and other various plants parts. Each species of catepillars eats only a few kinds of plants or plant parts. That is why finding good host plants to grow in your butterfly garden can be unique to what types of butterflies are native in your area. | Most butterflies eat (actually they “drink”) from nectar plants (while the plants that caterpillars eat are called host plants). Each species of butterflies has nectar plants that they prefer but many adult butterflies will feed from a wide variety of nectar sources. Butterflies are not as specific in their food source as are their caterpillars. A few adult butterfly species even prefer rotting fruit and dung as opposed to nectar. | They usually set on top of a flower and drink the nectar. To see a congregation of many kinds of butterflies together they feed on small puddles on the grouind or wet areas on leaves and plants. See the section below if you are interested in what Caterpillars eat. |
cost to use uber | Rates will vary from city to city, but in general hybrids will cost 30 to 40 percent less than Uber’s black town cars, according to Scott Munro, an operations manager at Uber. In San Francisco, for example, the hybrid cars will cost $5 for the base fee, and then $3.25 a mile after that. By contrast, the town cars cost $8 for the base fee and then $4.95 a mile. Taxis in San Francisco cost $3.16 a mile including a tip of 15 percent. Despite its higher fares, Uber has grown significantly. | After you added up the four different variables, you calculated that your fare would only be $2.78. But in your area, the minimum fare for UberX is $4, so you will be charged $4 instead of $2.78. The base fare, cost per minute, and cost per mile vary city-by-city, and Uber service. Uber fare rates are different for UberX, XL, UberPlus, Black Car, and Select. Read more about the differences between UberX, XL, Plus, and Black Car. 1 Base fare – A flat fee charged at the beginning of the ride. 2 Cost per minute – How much you’re charged for each minute you’re inside the ride. 3 Cost per mile – How much you’re charged for each mile of the ride. 4 Safe Rides Fee – A flat $1 fee (Not included for UberBlack and UberSUV). | Know the rates. Uber charges are based on a combination of time and distance. If the car is travelling under 11 mph (18 km/h), you will be charged by the minute, and if you are travelling over 11 mph (18 km/h), you will be charged by the mile. You will also have to pay a base rate, that varies by location. Don’t pay in cash. All fare payments are handled automatically by the Uber service and your credit card on file. If using the TAXI service, you can select the amount to be tipped through your Uber Payment Settings-the default is 20%. | There are five main types of cars you can request, each with different pricing, and pricing also varies by city.

what threats did communism pose to australia | Australia faced the threat of communism after WWII ended in 1945. The threat was known as the Red Menace which was caused by all the conflicts in Asia and also things that were going on in Australia at the time.

Pictures & Animations | Study Guides | Get Involved | Activities & Exams. | Posted on. (Answer #1). Soviet Marxist-Leninist Communism posed an indirect threat to the United States in the 1940's and 1950's after the Soviet Union had proved its viability by defeating Nazi Germany and imposing its domination on everything behind the Iron Curtain. | It seems disingenuous to suggest that Communism did not present a threat to the United States during the 1950's and 1960's. The goal of the communist movement, as indicated in the Communist Manifesto, was the destruction of capitalism. | Australia responded to the threat of communism in Asia by joining the Korean War in 1950. We joined it because we had a belief that it would be better to fight communism overseas rather than wait for it to reach Australia and fight it here. The Korean War was a part of our government's 'Forward Defense Policy'. |

what is AST in blood test | AST Blood Test. The blood test for AST or aspartate transaminase is a test to reveal injury to certain organs, specifically the liver. Aspartate transaminase is an enzyme that is responsible for the creation of glutamate and oxaloacetate. | Liver blood tests are some of the most commonly performed blood tests. These tests can be used to assess liver functions or liver injury. An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the level of certain liver enzymes (proteins) in the blood. If the liver is injured or damaged, the liver cells spill these enzymes into the blood, raising the AST and ALT enzyme blood levels and signaling liver disease. Other blood tests pertaining to the liver are measurements of some of the other enzymes found the liver. | Liver function tests check the blood for two main liver enzymes: 1 Aspartate aminotransferase (AST). 2 The AST enzyme is also found in muscles and many other tissues besides the liver. 3 Alanine aminotransferase (ALT). 4 ALT is almost exclusively found in the liver. Liver function tests. Liver function tests or LFTs, may be arranged to help diagnose or monitor liver problems. Liver function tests include alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin, total protein and bilirubin. | They include aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT). These enzymes are normally contained within liver cells. If the liver is injured, the liver cells spill the enzymes into blood, raising the enzyme levels in the blood and signaling the liver damage. It is an enzyme found in various cells, including liver cells, and elevated levels may indicate liver damage, but must be interpreted in the context of other liver tests, as it is not only found in liver cells, but other cell types as well. | The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test is typically used to detect liver injury. It is often ordered in conjunction with aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or as part of a liver panel to screen for and/or help diagnose liver disease. ALT is often performed together with a test for AST or as part of a liver panel. For more about ALT results in relation to other liver tests, see the Liver Panel article. |
