The expressions listed in this category could also be described as:actions at jointsactions of muscles, ormuscle actions For a single list of all the movements of the body included in this section see types of movements at joints. Circumduction is sometimes described as simply a \"\" circular movement \"\" because circumduction movements of (e.g. the arm and hand) result in the outer edge of the limb (e.g. the finger tips) tracing circles in space. Another way to express this is to say that circumduction is the movement of the distal end of a body part so that it traces a circle. However, circumduction is more accurately described as a conical movement at a joint due to the cone formed by the rotating limb (i.e. the distal end of the limb traces a circle while the movement of the length of the limb traces a cone shape ). Short definition of Circumduction: Circumduction is a conical movement of a limb extending from the joint (e.g. shoulder or hip) at which the movement is controlled. True circumduction allows for 360 degrees of movement. Examples of Circumduction: Circumduction of an arm (from the shoulder joint): Hold an arm extended outwards from the body e.g. the right hand extended to the right side. Circumduction is the movement that occurs when the arm is held straight at the elbow joint while whole limb from the shoulder to the finger tips is moved as if to draw circles with the hand/fingers at arms length from the centre of the body. Circumduction of a leg (from the hip joint): Holding one leg straight at the knee joint rotate that straight leg from the hip so that the extreme end of the leg (e.g. the great toe if the foot is pointed outwards) traces a circle as it moves around in space." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2199815#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantarflexion\nAnatomical terms of motion", "text": "\"Anatomical terms of motion From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Plantarflexion)navigation search\"\"Extorsion\"\" redirects here.

The bones entering into its formation are the hemispherical head of the humerus and the shallow glenoid cavity of the scapula, an arrangement which permits of very considerable movement, while the joint itself is protected against displacement by the tendons which surround it. The ligaments do not maintain the joint surfaces in apposition, because when they alone remain the humerus can be separated to a considerable extent from the glenoid cavity; their use, therefore, is to limit the amount of movement. The joint is protected above by an arch, formed by the coracoid process, the acromion, and the coracoacromial ligament. The articular cartilage on the head of the humerus is thicker at the center than at the circumference, the reverse being the case with the articular cartilage of the glenoid cavity.

This month, I would like to present what is largely an opinion article based on my own personal experience with a relatively common complaint: snapping around a joint. Snapping will be herein differentiated from popping at a joint by the more common description of snapping as a superficially felt sensation. Snapping is generally caused by a tendon and/or bursa. The tendon or bursa may be inflamed, and if so, will often cause painful snapping. If the snapping is more of a nuisance, it is more likely that either an underlying joint looseness is present or some new biomechanical change has occurred causing the tendon to snap. Common structures and locations include:peroneal tendons -- outer anklesemimembranosis tendon -- posteromedial kneemedial plica -- anteromedial kneeiliotibial band -- outer hipiliopsoas -- inner hip/thighbiceps femoris tendon -- posterior hip/buttocksextensor carpi ulnaris tendon -- outer wrist (forearm pronated)biceps tendon -- anterior shoulderinfraspinatus/teres minor -- posterior shoulderlevator scapulae -- superior-medial scapula Most of the above sites include an interposing bursa. Snapping may occur over the bursa or over a bony prominence. From a general diagnostic standpoint, it would seem important to distinguish between bursa versus tendon as a cause, however, this is often difficult." }, { "docid": "D268362#0", "title": "http://www.our-sma-angels.com/crystal/Web%20Pages/MedicalPractices/Therapists/Physical/joint&movements.htm\n.", "text": "Types of joints: Ball-and-socket joint : Consists of a bone with a globular or slightly egg-shaped head that articulates with the cup-shaped cavity of another bone. Such a joint allows a wider range of motion than does any other kind, permitting movements in all planes, as well as rotational movement around a central axis. The hip and shoulder contain joints of this type. Condyloid joint: The ovoid condyle of one bone fits into the elliptical cavity of another bone, as in the joints between the metacarpals (bones of the palm) and phalanges (bones of the fingers and toes). This type of joint permits a variety of movements in different planes; rotational movement, however, is not possible. Gliding joints: The articulating surfaces are nearly flat or slightly curved. These joints allow sliding or back-and-forth motion and twisting movements. Most of the joints within the wrist and ankle, as well as those between the articular processes of adjacent vertebrae, belong to this group. The sacroiliac joints and the joints formed by ribs 2 though 7 connecting with the sternum are also gliding joints.

It is simple yet informative and can give important insights into the integrity of the nervous system at many different levels. Physiology of Reflexes Assessment of reflexes is based on a clear understanding of the following principles and relationships: Tendons connect muscles to bones, usually crossing a joint. When the muscle contracts, the tendon pulls on the bone, causing the attached structure to move. When the tendon is struck by the reflex hammer, stretch receptors contained within it generate an impulse that is carried via sensory nerves to the spinal cord. At this juncture, the message is transmitted across a synapse to an appropriate lower motor neuron. An upper motor neuron, whose cell body resides in the brain, also provides input to this synapse." }, { "docid": "D3334902#0", "title": "https://courses.vcu.edu/DANC291-003/unit_2.htm\nUNIT II- Introduction to Joints and Muscles", "text": "\"UNIT II- Introduction to Joints and Muscles Objectives: At the completion of this unit the student will be able to:1) name the appropriate terms for joint action2) identify common anatomical movements using appropriate terminology3) define common terms used in reference to bone and joint structure4) identify types of joints5) categorize a joint by its classification6) define common terms used in reference to muscles and muscle action7) discuss the importance of the kinetic chain to the dancer Anatomical Terms of Joint Action Terms are used to describe the different movements of the limbs or other body parts.

Print Background Genu valgum is the Latin-derived term used to describe knock-knee deformity. Whereas many otherwise healthy children have knock-knee deformity as a passing trait, some individuals retain or develop this deformity as a result of hereditary (see the image below) or genetic disorders or metabolic bone disease. This 9-year-old patient has symmetrical and progressive genu valgum caused by a hereditary form of metaphyseal dysplasia. One method of treatment is to undertake bilateral femoral and tibial/fibular osteotomies, securing these with internal plates or external frames. However, the hospitalization and the attendant cost and risks, including peroneal nerve palsy and compartment syndrome, make this a daunting task for the surgeon and family alike. Furthermore, mobilization and weightbearing may require physical therapy but must be delayed pending initial healing of the bones. View Media Gallery The typical gait pattern is circumduction, requiring that the individual swing each leg outward while walking in order to take a step without striking the planted limb with the moving limb. Not only are the mechanics of gait compromised but also, with significant angular deformity, anterior and medial knee pain are common. These symptoms reflect the pathologic strain on the knee and its patellofemoral extensor mechanism. For persistent genu valgum, treatment recommendations have included a wide array of options, ranging from lifestyle restriction and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to bracing, exercise programs, and physical therapy." }, { "docid": "D1400649#0", "title": "http://deananatomy1.blogspot.com/2012/07/joints-and-their-function.html\nJoints And Their Function", "text": "Joints And Their Function Types of joints Any point in the body where two or more bones meet is classed as a joint. Fixed joints Fixed or fibrous joints allow no movement at all. Fixed joints are held together by a tough fibre that permits no movement and these joints also have no joint cavity. An example of a fixed joint is the skull because it can’t be moved which allows it to protect the brain. An example of fixed joint used in sport is football because you header the ball with your head. Slightly movable joints Slightly movable or cartilaginous joints allow very limited movement. Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. Ligaments or cartilage stops them from moving the joints too far. The joints have a cushion of cartilage in between the bones with bones vesting on these beds of cartilage.

Each movement at a synovial joint results from the contraction or relaxation of the muscles that are attached to the bones on either side of the articulation. The type of movement that can be produced at a synovial joint is determined by its structural type. While the ball-and-socket joint gives the greatest range of movement at an individual joint, in other regions of the body, several joints may work together to produce a particular movement. Overall, each type of synovial joint is necessary to provide the body with its great flexibility and mobility. There are many types of movement that can occur at synovial joints (Table 1). Movement types are generally paired, with one being the opposite of the other. Body movements are always described in relation to the anatomical position of the body: upright stance, with upper limbs to the side of body and palms facing forward.

This standard allows the relative position of parts of the body to be described accurately and with less confusion. Anatomists use the anatomical position. A person in the anatomical position is standing up straight, with arms at the sides and palms facing forwards with the fingers extended. The feet are facing forward, as are the head and eyes (see the figure to the right). The anatomical planes of the body. Planes of the Body [ edit]Three planes through the body are used to describe the position and orientation of parts of the body. These are: Median or Sagittal plane - This plane runs through the body from the head (cephalic end) to the feet (plantar end).

Walker Clarke — February 01, 2007For years I have told friends that any of Cirque du Soleil's shows represent the best entertainment for your dollar to be found anywhere in the world. I love concerts, theater, sporting events, and yes, a circus. And to say that Cirque combines the best of all of these events still sells them short. Cirque du Soleil stands in a class by itself. Over a year ago, when I heard that Cirque had struck a deal to produce a show based on the music of The Beatles, I was thrilled, and couldn't wait to see the result. Many years ago, the idea for LOVE was born out of a personal friendship between Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté and the late George Harrison. In June of 2006, LOVE premiered in Las Vegas at The Mirage, and I have been dying to see it ever since. While at the 2007 CES show, the Audioholics team took time out of our busy schedule to attend a performance. Beatles producer Sir George Martin and his son Giles Martin were brought on as Music Directors for the unprecedented project that would take the music of The Beatles and compile it into the soundtrack for a ninety minute Cirque du Soleil stage production. The Martins spent two years in Abby Road Studios constructing the music for LOVE using the original master recordings from The Beatles catalog." }, { "docid": "D1538346#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080307200049AA0c3ur\nHow do you pronounce the name Soleil???", "text": "\"Pregnancy & Parenting Baby Names How do you pronounce the name Soleil???

The first permanent resident Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas has been running for more than two decades and continues to entrance audiences with its epic visuals, music, and inspiring human feats. The show puts an emphasis on amazing human physicality. Acrobats work a dangling metal cube, a hand-to-hand duo performs logic-defying feats of balance and strength, trampoline performers spin through the air at seemingly impossible speeds, and trapeze artists soar above the stage in a show that will open your eyes to a whole new appreciation for brute human power and stamina. The production opens with a colorful representation of the universal Big Bang and transports you through our earthly, primitive beginnings to our Renaissance awakenings and finally, into a futuristic vision of lights, color and drama, culminating in a spectacular climax of acrobatic magic. Mystere is a stunning, epic, old-world yet totally modern circus production featuring a cast of over 70 performers, and an experience in which you won’t believe your eyes as you take in the visual spectacle unraveling onstage and ooh and aaah in primal satisfaction. If you’ve never seen a Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil production, Mystère will make the perfect induction into the visual style of the artful French Canadian circus troupe that mixes physical grace, visual complexity, performance artistry, perfectly choreographed dance, and pure athleticism, all set to percussive music performed by a live band. The Chicago Tribune called Mystere, directed by the visionary Franco Dragone, “one of the most innovative and exciting shows to be seen anywhere” and the Las Vegas Review Journal rated Mystere Las Vegas their award for the town’s “Best Production Show” eight times. The mystery unfolds at the Mystère Theater at Treasure Island, where you can enjoy great pre-show entertainment if you arrive 30 minutes before curtain time. Bring the entire family as children, grandparents and everyone in between will be wowed by the rich costuming, aerial artistry, feats of human physicality, percussive live score, and unbound imagination on display onstage at Cirque du Soleil’s groundbreaking classic, Mystere." }, { "docid": "D1186206#0", "title": "http://www.bigboytravel.com/nevada/lasvegas/thestripwalkingtour/\n.", "text": "Las Vegas > The Las Vegas Strip Walking Tour Map Las Vegas Menu Las Vegas Strip Walking Tour: Location: The Las Vegas Boulevard Strip Cost: Free ( optional costs below) Style: Self-Guided Walking Tour Start: Stratosphere Casino ( North of The Strip) End: Welcome to Las Vegas Sign ( South of The Strip) Distance: 4.5 miles Time: One full day for walking tour and sight, One week to see all major shows.

Now I do not want to pay a penny more than I have to at any time and I will show you how to ensure that you are paying the cheapest price that you can hope to pay for any room at any time of the year but not just yet. On my first post I will give you one of the best Vegas tips (or tricks if you) like for getting a free or nearly free room upgrade this is called the $20 trick which can also be used as the $50 trick or even the $100 trick if you are far richer than me. This Vegas trick can work at any hotel and is worth a shot the worst that can happen is you get what you have paid for. I will show you a top ten list of the hotels to try this at. Ok enough babble here is the Las Vegas $20 free room upgrade trick. Before you get to the check in desk place a folded $20 note between your credit card and your ID and ask the clerk if there are any free upgrades available for the period that you are there. Try to look for a youngish clerk as your odds are usually better with them than an older one and one at the end of the check in desk so that they are not overheard and be discreet. Some people feel you have a better chance with males and others females so it’s a bit of luck but young and friendly looking is a must. This works in most hotels some better than others but you must be discreet that is the key." }, { "docid": "D2456167#0", "title": "https://thedisneyblog.com/2017/03/03/la-nouba-cirque-du-soleil-ending-run-disney-springs-december-31/\nLa Nouba by Cirque du Soleil ending is run in Disney Springs on December 31", "text": "Home › Walt Disney World › La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil ending is run in Disney Springs on December 31La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil ending is run in Disney Springs on December 31John Frost 03/03/2017 Walt Disney World Cirque du Soleil has been making magical circus shows that feature incredibly talented humans since it’s start in Quebec in 1984. Nineteen years ago Disney partnered with Cirque du Soleil to open La Nouba in a permanant theater located in the new West Side area of what was then Downtown Disney. Sine then the show has anchored that end of the shopping and entertainment district attracting hundreds of audience members to see the show and maybe pick up a meal or a drink before or afterward. Over the last couple years signs of a slide in popularity have been showing in the La Nouba tent. They brought in new acts in an attempt to revive interest in the show and started a booth in the Marketplace section of Disney Springs trying to get guests to buy tickets for the show. It appears those efforts were not enough and now the show will be shuttered at the end of 2017. My personal opinion is that the crowds coming to Walt Disney World now include a lot of families that want more than a 19-year-old show. So it’s time for a refresh. “We are incredibly proud of the success that La Nouba has had for nearly two decades,” said Jerry Nadal, Senior Vice President of the Resident Shows Division for Cirque du Soleil. “ We want to thank Walt Disney World Resort for a wonderful run over the years." }, { "docid": "D3148749#0", "title": "https://www.audioenglish.org/dictionary/circus.htm\nCIRCUS", "text": "\"Audio English.org » Dictionary » C » Circular Plane ...

But it is far from a perfect metric and is no substitute for doing your own homework. Before we examine its shortcomings, let's first explore what it is. PEG Ratio Defined The PEG ratio takes the basic price-to-earnings ratio one step further by factoring in earnings growth. In short, companies with faster earnings growth warrant higher P/E ratios. This metric was first popularized by Peter Lynch and is calculated as: Price/Earnings/Growth According to Lynch, a company that's fairly priced will have a P/E ratio equal to its growth rate. In other words, a stock with a PEG ratio of 1.0 is fairly valued, while a stock with a PEG ratio of less than 1.0 is undervalued and a stock with a PEG ratio greater than 1.0 would be overvalued. No Magic Bullet While this seems intriguing and intuitive, remember it is only a rule of thumb. The assertion that a P/E ratio should equal earnings growth is somewhat arbitrary and certainly does not apply to all companies.

Cirrostratus is a member of the ten fundamental cloud types (or cloud genera). Cirrostratus are high-level clouds, appearing as a thin hazy, uniform and featureless whitish and smooth veil. Cirrostratus are darker than cirrus and are always thin enough for the high Sun to cast shadows. Sometimes a fibrous and banded aspect may appear, but the intervals between the bands are filled with thinner cloud veil. Cs are covering part or all part of the sky and often produce halo phenomena, either partial or complete. They form at altitudes between about 5 and 10km (about 16,600 and 30,000ft). The edge of a veil of cirrostratus may be straight and clear-cut, but more often it is irregular and fringed with cirrus. Some of the ice crystals that compose the cloud are large enough to fall and thereby produce a fibrous aspect.

The layer of the atmosphere where almost all cloud exists is the troposphere, although the tops of some severe thunderstorms occasionally pierce the tropopause. Because of the large range in temperatures and air movement in the troposphere, clouds vary in structure and composition (a combination of ice crystal and water). Consequently, clouds are classified into three main groups: lower, middle and high level clouds. Certain techniques introduced earlier (that determine the heights and characteristics of clouds) are incorporated within this section to identify and categorise the different type of clouds. Lower level clouds Lower level clouds consist of those clouds in the lower layers of the atmosphere. Because of the relatively low temperatures at this level of the atmosphere, lower level clouds usually reflect lower amounts of light and therefore usually exhibit low contrast. The clouds at this level also appear not as well defined. When observed closely, it is easy to observe the turbulent motions and hence the ever-changing structure. Being closer to the ground, lower level clouds appear to move or progress faster than other clouds." }, { "docid": "D421107#0", "title": "http://www.fastweather.com/index.php?city=Washington_DC&g\nCurrent Weather for Washington, DC", "text": "Current Weather for Washington, DCYour Recent Locations: Washington, DCAstronomy: Sunrise: 6:40 am Sunset: 7:39 pm Moon: Last Quarter Today's Almanac: Average High: 65 °F Average Low: 45 °F Record High: 90 °F (1959) Record Low: 28 °F (1972)Yesterday's Almanac: Click here for yesterday's data!Want more detail?

Most intriguingly is the inclusion of the first ever “Quad” DAC packed into a smartphone. The term has led to a fair bit of confusion, with some wondering if LG is counting the number of outputs, or if there’s multiple DACs for different audio paths. I assure you that this isn’t the case, but a proper explanation is far more complicated. Of course, that’s what I’m here for. We are pretty certain that the LG V20 will be using the latest ES9218 component from ESS Technologies. The company’s press page features LG’s V20 statement, followed a few days later by a release about the company’s new ES9218 Quad DAC for mobile products. A pretty easy connection to make.

It may also include larger particles of liquid water or ice as well as non-aqueous or solid particles such as those present in fumes, smoke or dust. Principles of cloud classification: clouds are continuously in a process of evolution and appear, therefore, in a infinite variety of forms. It is possible, however, to define a limited number of characteristic forms, frequently observed all over the world, into which clouds can be broadly grouped. A classification of the characteristic forms of clouds, in terms of \"\"genera\"\", \"\"species\"\", and \"\"varieties\"\" has been established. Definitions and descriptions of each of the characteristic forms corresponding to this classification are given in the list below. Intermediate or transitional forms, although observed fairly frequently, are not described; they are of little intrest, as they are less stable and as their appearance is not very different from that indicated in the definitions of the characteristic forms. Finally, there exists a group of clouds, rarely or occassionally observed, not included in this classification. Some of these so called \"\"special clouds\"\" consists for the greater part or in their entirety of non-aqueous liquid or solid particles.

Other names are “false suns” or “mock suns.” A more scientific name is “parhelia.” They are usually seen at a 22-degree angle to the sun. Cirrus clouds, which are made of ice crystals, are generally in the sky to create sun dogs. In very cold air, such as in the polar regions, sun dogs and other kinds of halo can be created by ice crystals floating in the air closer to the ground. The ice crystals bend rays of light coming from the sun by 22 degrees." }, { "docid": "D3261626#0", "title": "https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-lunar-halo-2562402\nWhat is a Lunar Halo?", "text": "\"Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality What is a Lunar Halo?

Is it something magical? Could it be important, from a magical perspective? Well, it’s not really a magically significant event so much as a scientific one. It’s actually a phenomenon known as a lunar halo, and it happens sometimes when moonlight is refracted through ice particles in the earth's atmosphere. The Science of the Lunar Halo The folks at the Farmer’s Almanac have a great explanation of it, and say,“A lunar halo is caused by the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of light through ice particles suspended within thin, wispy, high altitude cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. As light passes through these hexagon-shaped ice crystals, it is bent at a 22 degree angle, creating a halo 22 degrees in radius (or 44 degrees in diameter).”It’s definitely beautiful to look at. From a folkloric standpoint, however, many traditions of weather magic indicate that a ring around the moon means bad weather, rain, or other foul atmospheric conditions are on the way." }, { "docid": "D3516295#0", "title": "https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/cirrus-pilot-paid-15-000-for-a-parachute-repack.86070/\nCirrus pilot paid $15,000 for a parachute repack?", "text": "\"Home Forums Controlled Airspace Flight Following Cirrus pilot paid $15,000 for a parachute repack?

These were first classified by Lamarck in 1802, and Howard in 1803 published a classification scheme which became the basis for modern cloud classification. The modern classification scheme used by the UK Met Office, with similar schemes used elsewhere, classifies clouds according to the altitude of cloud base, there being three altitude classes: low; mid level and high. Within each altitude class additional classifications are defined based on four basic types and combinations thereof. These types are Cirrus (meaning hair like), Stratus (meaning layer), Cumulus (meaning pile) and Nimbus (meaning rain producing). Each main classification may be further subdivided to provide a means of identifying the many variations which are observed in the atmosphere. The table below lists the standard classifications used by the UK Met Office and gives example images of each along with brief descriptions. Additional to these main types there are a few other types of cloud including noctilucent, polar stratospheric and orographic clouds. A few examples of some of these are given at the bottom of the table below.

It's a change in an airfoil's angle of incidence, measured from the root to the tip. If you look closely at a wing with washout, you'll see that it twists from the root to the tip, with the root having a higher angle of incidence than the tip. What does this mean when you're flying?

The protocol was designed by Cisco Systems as a proprietary protocol, available only on Cisco routers. Partial functionality of EIGRP was converted to an open standard in 2013 [1] and was published with informational status as RFC 7868 in 2016. EIGRP is used on a router to share routes with other routers within the same autonomous system. Unlike other well known routing protocols, such as RIP, EIGRP only sends incremental updates, reducing the workload on the router and the amount of data that needs to be transmitted. EIGRP replaced the Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) in 1993. One of the major reasons for this was the change to classless IPv4 addresses in the Internet Protocol, which IGRP could not support.

Generic NATQ. What is NAT? A. Network Address Translation (NAT) is designed for IP address conservation. It enables private IP networks that use unregistered IP addresses to connect to the Internet. NAT operates on a router, usually connecting two networks together, and translates the private (not globally unique) addresses in the internal network into legal addresses, before packets are forwarded to another network. As part of this capability, NAT can be configured to advertise only one address for the entire network to the outside world. This provides additional security by effectively hiding the entire internal network behind that address. NAT offers the dual functions of security and address conservation and is typically implemented in remote-access environments. Q.

IT groups are considering the data center facility, the servers it houses, and network components as a pool of resources rather than unrelated assets \"\"siloed\"\" to resolve specific business requirements. Server virtualization is a technique that allows the abstraction of server resources to provide flexibility and optimize usage on a standardized infrastructure. As a result, data center applications are no longer bound to specific hardware resources; thus making the application unaware of the underlying hardware, yet viewing the CPUs, memory, and network infrastructure as shared resource pools available via virtualization. Virtualization of network, storage, and server platforms has been maturing over time.

IP Phone Registration Q. What does it take to get my Cisco 7960, 7940, or 7910 IP Phone to register with Cisco Call Manager? A. The registration of a Cisco IP Phone with Cisco Call Manager is a four-step process. The phone requests an IP address from the DHCP service. The DHCP response returns the address of the TFTP server in one of these forms: Static IP address Option 150 (single IP address)Option 66 (first IP address or Domain Name System [DNS] name)Lookup Cisco CM1.your.domain Once the phone has the TFTP address, the phone requests its configuration information from the TFTP server. In Cisco Call Manager 3.0, this configuration information is in the form of a .cnf file. In release 3.1, the configuration file is an .xml file. The configuration information contains a prioritized list of up to three Cisco Call Manager servers, the device pool to which the phone belongs, and information about the phone load version if the release is 3.1. The phone establishes communication with the Cisco Call Manager that is highest in the prioritized list and sends a registration request. If the phone requests a .cnf file rather than an .xml file, the phone also sends a version request and checks the current phone load version." }, { "docid": "D2734321#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_meaning_of_the_acronym_A1C\nWhat is the meaning of the acronym A1C?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Literature & Language Languages and Cultures English Language Literary Devices and Figures of Speech Acronyms & Abbreviations What is the meaning of the acronym A1C?

The main presence component of the solution is the Cisco Unified Presence server, which incorporates the Jabber Extensible Communications Platform and supports SIP/SIMPLE and Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) for collecting information regarding a user's availability status and communications capabilities. The user's availability status indicates whether or not the user is actively using a particular communications device such as a phone. The user's communications capabilities indicate the types of communications that user is capable of using, such as video conferencing, web collaboration, instant messaging, or basic audio. The aggregated user information captured by the Cisco Unified Presence server enables Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, Cisco Unified Communications Manager applications, and third-party applications to increase user productivity. These applications help connect colleagues more efficiently by determining the most effective form of communication. This chapter explains the basic concepts of presence and instant messaging within the Cisco Unified Communications System and provides guidelines for how best to deploy the various components of the presence and instant messaging solution. Cisco Unified Presence must be deployed with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) 5. x or later releases; Cisco Unified CM 4. x and earlier releases do not support Cisco Unified Presence." }, { "docid": "D572339#0", "title": "https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1467/what-is-the-meaning-of-the-crc-counter-on-a-cisco-device\nWhat is the meaning of the CRC counter on a cisco device?", "text": "\"_Network Engineering Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for network engineers.

CRC is a polynomial function on the frame which returns a 4B number in Ethernet. It will catch all single bit errors and a good percentage of double bit errors. It is thus meant to ensure that the frame was not corrupted in transit. If your CRC error counter is increasing it means that when your hardware ran the polynomial function on the frame, the result was a 4B number which differed from the 4B number found on the frame itself." }, { "docid": "D1174249#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/26214818/frame-relay-flash-cards/\nFrame Relay", "text": "\"73 terms daniel-potter Frame Relay Frame Relay Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Cisco lets you shorten most commands to as few unique characters as possible. For instance, \"\"int\"\" is an appropriate shortcut for \"\"interface\"\", but \"\"ip rout\"\" does not work because it could mean either \"\"ip route\"\" or \"\"ip routing\"\". As a general rule of thumb, as you're typing something in, if you use the ? key and only see one result, you don't need to type any more characters for that command. – Avery Abbott Jun 21 '14 at 17:57add a comment Your Answer Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.

First off, there are various Citrix documents available on the internet that describes the process and they are found in the following links: Data Store Migration Strategieshttp://support.citrix.com/article/CTX123111How to Move or Migrate Data Store on Xen App 6 to another Serverhttp://blogs.citrix.com/2010/06/03/how-to-move-or-migrate-data-store-on-xenapp-6-to-another-server/Migrating a Farm Data Store from MSDE to SQL Server Expresshttp://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xenapp5fp2-w2k3/ps-datastore-migrate-msde.html The problem I have with these documents are that they don’t describe the process in details and some of them omit various steps.

First off, the documentation I used is from Citrix’s product documentation which can be found here: Xen Desktop 7 upgrade componentshttp://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xendesktop-71/cds-xd-upgrade-xd7-to-7-1.html The environment I had to upgrade contained the following components:2 x Store Front Servers2 x Delivery Controllers (Director installed on the same server)Single SQL server (non clustered)Single server used for Citrix licensing Note that this environment publishes applications only and does not have any VDIs. The upgrade steps for the environment I was working with are as follows: Upgrade the licensing server Backup the Delivery Controller databases Upgrade the Store Front servers Upgrade VDA agents on application servers Upgrade Delivery Controller servers Apply Citrix database updates Upgrade Machine Catalogs Upgrade Desktop Catalogs Upgrade Licensing Server The 11.11.1 build 13012 licensing server in the environment did not support Xen Desktop 7.6 so the first item I had to do was upgrade the existing licensing server. The good news is that if you forget to do this step, you will get a warning as you attempt to upgrade the delivery controllers. The Citrix licensing server version I am upgrading to will be 11.12.1 (3): Proceed with the download and run the install on the licensing server which will automatically perform an upgrade: Note the upgraded version of the licensing server 11.12.1 build 14008: Backup Delivery Controller Databases The next step is backup the Citrix Delivery Controller databases on the SQL server and while I won’t go into the details, I will include the following two screenshots: Upgrade Store Front Servers Choose one of the Store Front servers in the cluster and run the executable for version 2.6 (what we’re upgrading to): I’m not really sure why the wizard would indicate IIS needs to be installed but I’m assuming it’s because I’m upgrading from version 2.1.0.17 which may have a subcomponent missing: I’ve noticed that one of the upgrades failed during the upgrade so if it does for you, try stopping the Store Front services and re-run the upgrade: Note that You’ll notice the following message in the Citrix Store Front console after the first server is updated: Repeat the same procedure on the second Store Front server and check the Citrix Store Front console to ensure that the above message is no longer present. Upgrade the VDA Agents on the Application Servers Log onto the application servers, run the Xen Desktop 7.6 setup and select Virtual Delivery Agent for Windows OS: Proceed through the wizard: Upgrade the Delivery Controllers Since there are two Delivery Controllers in the environment, we’re going to first upgrade one of them (do not upgrade 2 concurrently). Launch the Xen Desktop 7.6 setup and select Studio and Server Components: Note that if we did not upgrade the license server, we’ll be prompted here: Continue with the upgrade wizard: Note that Director role will also be upgraded during this process because it is installed onto the same server as the delivery controller: The upgrade wizard may prompt for a restart in order to complete: A restart of the server will allow the wizard to complete the install: Check the Launch Studio checkbox and click Finish: Once the Citrix Studio launches, you will see the following 2 options: Start the automatic Site upgrade Manually upgrade this site Unless there is a reason why you need to manually upgrade the components (i.e. lack of permissions), I would suggest to go with the automatic upgrade. Selecting the Start the automatic Site upgrade will display a prompt to remind you to backup the delivery controller database: Continuing the upgrade will begin the process: The following prompt will be displayed when the upgrade is complete: With the first delivery controller upgraded, you will see the following message in the console: Upgrade remaining Delivery Controllers Proceed to upgrade the remaining delivery controller: Once the second delivery controller has been upgraded, the following message will be displayed in the Citrix Studio: Register upgraded Delivery Controllers Clicking on the message above will perform the configuration: Once the configuration is complete, the Citrix Studio console should display the following: Upgrade Machine Catalogs With the delivery controllers upgrade, the next step is to go ahead and upgrade the existing Machine Catalogs in the environment. Click on the Machine Catalogs node in Citrix Studio then click on Upgrade Catalog under the Application Servers list: Note that you will receive a warning message if you have not upgraded all of the application servers’s VDA agent in the Machine Catalog you are upgrading:1 machines have VDA version 7.1 or earlier and are running on Windows 2008 R2 SP2With all of the VDA agents upgraded, you should receive the following message: Catalog Application Servers is suitable for upgrade!All 2 machines associated with Catalog Application Servers are suitable for upgrade Once successfully upgraded, the Upgrade Catalog option should no longer be available but a the new option Undo Upgrade Catalog is now available: Upgrade Delivery Groups Repeat the same procedure as upgrading the Machine Catalogs for the Delivery Groups: As with the Machine Catalogs upgrade, the Upgrade Delivery Group option should no longer be available but a Undo Upgrade Delivery Group option will now be present: Posted by Terence Luk at 8:15 AM Email This Blog This!

Please try again later. ”Discovery: To figure out what’s going on we need to check how many licenses are currently in use and confirm that Citrix is actually successfully pulling from your license pool. 1) Open a command prompt on your citrix license server, type cd\\ to get to the root of the C drive, then paste the following: cd “Program Files (x86)\\Citrix\\Licensing\\LS”2) issue the command: LMSTAT -a -c “C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Citrix\\Licensing\\My Files” Or you can try it by leaving out the -c and the path. Here we can see we have 33 licenses issued and 33 licenses in use and are all out of licenses.3) Lets now look at which users are consuming the licenses: from the same command prompt window, enter the command: udadmin -list Resolution: In this example, Kelly is no longer with the organization and needs to be removed from the list in order to release the Citrix license consumed by Kelly: udadmin -f XDT_ENT_UD -user kelly -delete Note: replace the service name XDT_ENT_UD with the service name in your list, and kelly with the appropriate user name you want to remove Conclusion: At this point you should now be comfortable with deactivating Citrix licenses, releasing them back into the pool for future use.

A Xen App license entitles the customer to use these components to deliver apps from server or desktop operating systems, or a server hosted desktop. A Xen Desktop license includes that plus the ability to deliver a full desktop from a desktop operating system. These are generalizations of the two, please see the data sheet for a complete understanding of the features that are included in each edition. The main point though is the core software is the same in both, and each license level enables a different functionality.

I want to demonstrate that it’s not all that different from previous versions of Xen App and Xen Desktop from a management standpoint. I know a lot of Citrix Admins are hesitant to move to 7.x architecture because of the big changes like FMA but really, there is nothing keeping you from moving forward. I encourage everyone to at least be playing with 7.x architecture in a test lab if you don’t already have it in production or have plans to do so. If you’ve only used previous versions of Xen App in the past, there might be a slight learning curve to some of the concepts and terminology. If you’ve used Xen Desktop in the past, this is a cakewalk for you. Download the media from http://www.citrix.com/downloads.html first. It’s a 2.8 GB ISO called “Xen App_and_Xen Desktop7_5.iso”.1.

This legal process will typically vary from one country to another. In general, there are two common uses of the term and the way in which it is used will typically indicate the meaning intended. One of the most common uses is as a synonymous term with “due process” or “ legal proceedings ” to indicate the process by which legal proceedings occur in a given country. These proceedings can vary quite widely from country to country, and so the context in which the term is used will greatly impact what is precisely meant by it. In the US, for example, legal process is different in some ways between civil and criminal proceedings. Legal process for a criminal case in the US usually begins with the arrest or apprehension of an individual who is suspected of having committed a crime. The individual will usually make a first appearance before a judge and receive formal charges against him or her, as well as the establishment of any bond amount." }, { "docid": "D1299976#0", "title": "https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/what-does-discoverable-mean--153160.html\nWhat does discoverable mean?", "text": "\"Q&AAsked in Laramie, WY \| October 27, 2009 Save What does discoverable mean?

Litigants are required to take certain actions to advance the lawsuit to trial. The term \"\"want of prosecution\"\" means the plaintiff is not doing anything he is supposed to be doing, like answering interrogatories, appearing for depositions and answering trial calls.

This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. A tort is a civil wrong Based on the website, (http://www.investorwords.com/5004/tort.html ) a tort is a civil wrong other than a breach of contract. The civil wrong means that any wrong done by citizens or person who may be unintentional, which results to damages such as death, personal injury, property damages, nervous shock or any consequential loss. A person that suffers the damages may be able to use the tort law to get the compensation from the person that is liable for the injuries. Example of tort is when a person named Linda accidentally throws a pen and hit Diana’s face. Diana actually can sue Linda for personal injuries like bruises on the face if Diana can prove that Linda actually unintentionally throws pen at her. If Linda throws pen at her intentionally, then the law of tort cannot be used because this offense has been considered as a crime. The law of tort seeks to provide legal remedy for the victims of certain forms of harmful conduct. Tort duties are owed to a wide range of persons and are not dependant on the existence of a contractual relationship.1.2) Basis of tortuous liability The tort liability is essentially fault-based." }, { "docid": "D2488199#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_does_the_Seventh_Amendment_protect\nWhat does the Seventh Amendment protect?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society History History of the United States Founding Fathers What does the Seventh Amendment protect?

The term is often associated with tort cases, but litigation can come about in all kinds of cases, from contested divorces, to eviction proceedings. Likewise, most people think of litigation as synonymous with trial work, but the litigation process begins long before the first witness is called to testify. In fact, the vast majority of litigated cases never reach the inside of a courtroom. For those looking to determine if a legal matter falls within the category of litigation, consider whether a lawsuit would solve the matter. If so, the case qualifies as litigation, and an attorney practicing in this area should be retained. If there is no potential for a lawsuit, because there is no controversy or because all of the parties are in agreement, then the issue cannot be described as litigation.

Their demand, emblazoned on T-shirts, inked onto handmade signs, and voiced in chants of \"\"no justice, no peace,\"\" speaks to a widely held fear that the courts and police will be more interested in protecting the rights of a white police officer with no disciplinary record than the rights of a black 18-year-old.

S. Constitution and by legislation. Civil rights lawyers can be involved in a wide range of cases, including allegations of discrimination and challenges to laws that restrict constitutional liberties. Rights and Liberties Some law schools treat civil rights and civil liberties as related but distinct categories of law, while others treat civil liberties as a subset of civil rights. The Harvard Law School guide to civil rights considers civil liberties to be the liberties guaranteed by the First Amendment, such as freedom of speech and religion, and other rights protected by the Constitution such as habeas corpus. The Harvard guide treats civil rights issues as issues of discrimination against minority groups. Some civil rights lawyers also handle civil liberties cases, but some cases can even pit civil rights lawyers against civil liberties lawyers. For instance, a civil rights lawyer might seek an injunction to prevent a racist organization from staging a march, while a civil liberties lawyer might seek to block the injunction as a violation of the First Amendment. Civil Rights Law Cornell University Law School's Legal Information Institute defines civil liberties as a subcategory of civil rights rather than a distinct category of its own. According to this definition, civil rights law includes everything covered by the Bill of Rights, the 13th and 14th amendments to the U. S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and a number of other laws forbidding discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, gender or other categories." }, { "docid": "D1569420#0", "title": "https://prezi.com/-lp0jx_vt_zf/due-process-civil-liberties-civil-rights-and-the-1st-amendment/\nDue Process, Civil Liberties, Civil Rights, and the 1st Amendment", "text": "\"Public & reusable Create your own Make a copy Share Embed Like Due Process, Civil Liberties, Civil Rights, and the 1st Amendment No descriptionby Kristen Doddon 13 April 2012Tweet Comments ( 0)Please log in to add your comment.

The Latter Is an Essay Concerning The True Original, Extent, and End of Civil Government) is a work of political philosophy published anonymously in 1689 by John Locke. The First Treatise attacks patriarchalism in the form of sentence-by-sentence refutation of Robert Filmer 's Patriarcha, while the Second Treatise outlines Locke's ideas for a more civilized society based on natural rights and contract theory. This publication contrasts former political works by Locke himself. In Two Tracts on Government, written in 1660, Locke defends a very conservative position; however Locke never published it. [ 1] In 1669 Locke co-authored the Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina, which endorses aristocracy, slavery and serfdom.

This is known as the Glorious Revolution, also called the Revolution of 1688. Locke claims in the \"\"Preface\"\" to the Two Treatises that its purpose is to justify William III's ascension to the throne, though Peter Laslett suggests that the bulk of the writing was instead completed between 1679–1680 (and subsequently revised until Locke was driven into exile in 1683).

It is an honour to deliver this year’s Alice Tay Lecture. May I begin by acknowledging that we are meeting on the traditional lands of the Ngunnawal people, and by paying my respects to elders past and present. I also acknowledge and pay my respects to the memory of Professor Alice Tay. I never met Professor Tay but she remains fondly remembered by the Australian Human Rights Commission, an institution she headed when it was still known as the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. Her legacy as a scholar and advocate continues to illuminate the practice of human rights and its relationship with the law. This is true of those matters to which Herbert and Valmae Freilich dedicated their Foundation. In an address she gave in 1998, Professor Tay reminded us that ‘the very notion of cultural diversity is clearly linked to the issue of human rights, such as the right to liberty and equality’. Support for diversity, she said, was based on the ideal of a pluralist society. Such an ideal encompassed not only the composition of its people, but also its values, traditions and institutions.

Frequently, security or civic issues are at odds with these rights, and the Supreme Court often has to make difficult decisions regarding the trade-offs between security and liberty. As a result, there are limits to our civil liberties. For example, the freedom of speech does not allow us to yell “Fire!” in a movie theater when there is no fire. The Origins of Civil Liberties Origins of the Bill of Rights During the Constitutional Convention, one of the concerns among the Antifederalists was that the federal government would be too strong and would restrict the civil liberties of the country. In order to assuage the fears of the Antifederalists, the first Congress ratified ten protections of individual liberties, which became the first ten Amendments to the Constitution. A key provision in the Bill of Rights is that these protections are only guaranteed from the national government; they do not apply to the states. This view was upheld by the Supreme Court for almost eighty years—from constitutional ratification in 1789 until the Civil War ended in 1865. Selective Incorporation and the 14th Amendment Following the Civil War, Congress passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments (known as the Civil War Amendments), which dramatically influenced how the Bill of Rights was applied to the states." }, { "docid": "D952708#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_civil_rights_and_civil_liberties\nWhat is the difference between civil liberties and civil rights?", "text": "What is the difference between civil liberties and civil rights?

S. Government portal Law portal Wikipedia bookv t e The Fourteenth Amendment ( Amendment XIV) to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868, as one of the Reconstruction Amendments. The amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws and was proposed in response to issues related to former slaves following the American Civil War. The amendment was bitterly contested, particularly by the states of the defeated Confederacy, which were forced to ratify it in order to regain representation in Congress. The Fourteenth Amendment, particularly its first section, is one of the most litigated parts of the Constitution, forming the basis for landmark decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education (1954) regarding racial segregation, Roe v. Wade (1973) regarding abortion, Bush v. Gore (2000) regarding the 2000 presidential election, and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) regarding same-sex marriage. The amendment limits the actions of all state and local officials, including those acting on behalf of such an official. The amendment's first section includes several clauses: the Citizenship Clause, Privileges or Immunities Clause, Due Process Clause, and Equal Protection Clause. The Citizenship Clause provides a broad definition of citizenship, nullifying the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), which had held that Americans descended from African slaves could not be citizens of the United States. The Privileges or Immunities Clause has been interpreted in such a way that it does very little. The Due Process Clause prohibits state and local government officials from depriving persons of life, liberty, or property without legislative authorization. This clause has also been used by the federal judiciary to make most of the Bill of Rights applicable to the states, as well as to recognize substantive and procedural requirements that state laws must satisfy." }, { "docid": "D1864841#0", "title": "http://people.tamu.edu/%7Esdaniel/quessoci.html\n.", "text": "\"PHIL 251: Intro. to Philosophy (Daniel) Test Questions Social-Political Philosophy and Aesthetics Answers at end.

Legal support from the ACLU can take the form of direct legal representation or preparation of amicus curiae briefs expressing legal arguments when another law firm is already providing representation. In addition to representing persons and organizations in lawsuits, the ACLU lobbies for policy positions that have been established by its board of directors. Current positions of the ACLU include: opposing the death penalty; supporting same-sex marriage and the right of LGBT people to adopt; supporting birth control and abortion rights; eliminating discrimination against women, minorities, and LGBT people; supporting the rights of prisoners and opposing torture; and opposing government preference for religion over non-religion, or for particular faiths over others. Legally, the ACLU consists of two separate but closely affiliated nonprofit organizations: the American Civil Liberties Union, a 501 (c) (4) social welfare group, and the ACLU Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) public charity. Both organizations engage in civil rights litigation, advocacy, and education, but only donations to the 501 (c) (3) foundation are tax deductible, and only the 501 (c) (4) group can engage in unlimited political lobbying.

Anderson, Ph. D., researches and writes about marriage, bioethics, religious liberty and political philosophy. Summary Marriage is based on the truth that men and women are complementary, the biological fact that reproduction depends on a man and a woman, and the reality that children need a mother and a father. Redefining marriage does not simply expand the existing understanding of marriage; it rejects these truths. Marriage is society’s least restrictive means of ensuring the well-being of children. By encouraging the norms of marriage—monogamy, sexual exclusivity, and permanence—the state strengthens civil society and reduces its own role. The future of this country depends on the future of marriage. The future of marriage depends on citizens understanding what it is and why it matters and demanding that government policies support, not undermine, true marriage. Key Takeaways Marriage exists to bring a man and a woman together as husband and wife to be father and mother to any children their union produces. Government can treat people equally and respect their liberty without redefining marriage." }, { "docid": "D1717425#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/52629688/government-chapter-4-flash-cards/\nGovernment Chapter 4", "text": "39 terms Quantikoma Government Chapter 4Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort Civil liberties basic rights that cannot be taken away even by majority ruleanarchy Too much freedom can lead to a dangerous condition known as ________ , in which everyone does as they please without regard to otherstyranny Too much order in a nation where people are not free to make personal decisions can lead toex post facto A law that seeks to criminalize an act after it was committed is called a (n) ________ law.

Ferguson: Justice Harlan Dissents In 1890, Louisiana passed a law compelling railways to “provide equal but separate accommodations for the white, and colored, races,” joining several southern states that had already passed similar laws. African Americans in New Orleans fought the new law in several ways, including a legal challenge. In 1892, they arranged for Homer Adolph Plessy to be arrested on an East Louisiana Railway train for refusing to move to the car designated for “colored passengers.” The case eventually reached the U. S. Supreme Court in 1896 as Plessy v. Ferguson (named for the judge who first ruled against Plessy). The Supreme Court decision argued that as long as racially separate facilities were equal, they did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantees of equal protection of the law. The lone dissenter was Justice John Marshall Harlan, himself a former slaveholder from Kentucky. While Harlan had opposed the Thirteenth Amendment (which abolished slavery), the experience of seeing brutal attacks on African Americans in the immediate post-Civil War years apparently changed him. In his Plessy dissent, he insisted that “all citizens are equal before the law” and correctly predicted that upholding the Louisiana law would lead to the passage of even more laws segregating African Americans. Not until 1954 did the Supreme Court accept Harlan’s arguments, when it reversed Plessy v. Ferguson with its Brown v. Board of Education decision.

Frequently the argument for censorship is based on an extreme example where few would disagree with an existing restriction: surely, the leader of a criminal gang should be punished for ordering gang members to carry out a murder. He may not have done the deed himself –by ordering the crime he is merely expressing something—but he is clearly guilty. Surely, perjury should remain illegal. On one level it is merely a verbal statement, an expression, while in practice it can pervert the cause of justice. Defining rights: two forms of freedom Freedom of speech is a concept that defines a specific liberty or a specific way of exercising liberty. The two phrases in the preceding sentence look very similar, but their similarity conceals an important difference: the difference between positive and negative freedom [2]. Freedom can be defined as negative freedom: by this definition you are free to the extent that nobody interferes with what you are doing. This definition lies at the heart of classical liberalism and libertarianism: nobody should be interfered with so long as he doesn’t interfere with others’ freedom to act as they please. The alternative is that of positive freedom: by this definition you are free to pursue a specified course of action defined by the powers that be. This definition lies at the heart of social authoritarianism: the government is destined to intervene through regulation and re-distribution.

Alcoholism is prevalent in up to 20% of inpatient adults, (1) presenting a significant challenge when providing nursing care for the critically ill patient who develops acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS). Many of these patients are already compromised by underlying medical conditions, so alcohol withdrawal symptoms often complicate the clinical picture. These symptoms, which can be seen as early as 6 to 12 hours after the patient’s last drink, can range from mild to severe, can be mistaken for other serious medical conditions – such as stroke, sepsis, hypoglycemia and hypoxia – and can increase the associated risk of morbidity and mortality. ( 2)If left untreated, mortality rates from severe alcohol withdrawal and delirium tremens (DTs) have been shown to be as high as 20%. ( 3) If AWS is recognized early and improved treatment is instituted, mortality rates have been reduced to 1% to 5%. ( 3) Nurses and other care providers must be able to recognize early and severe signs of AWS. They must quickly and efficiently assess the patient and initiate proper treatment, while instituting supportive care beyond medications and monitoring.

It is a tool used commonly in the US that helps clinicians assess and treat potential alcohol withdrawal. A significant amount of injury in this country is due to the overuse of alcohol. A subset of these patients are admitted and do not have access to alcohol. They may begin to withdraw within a few days, and this condition can lead to dangerous complications. The Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment measures 10 items that are associated with withdrawal: Nausea / vomiting Anxiety Paroxysmal sweats Tactile disturbances (itching, bugs crawling on skin, etc)Visual disturbances Tremors Agitation Orientation Auditory disturbances Headache All items are measured on a scale of 0-7 with the exception of orientation, which uses a scale of 0-4. All subscores are tallied to arrive at the final score. The total score is used to determine whether benzodiazepines should be given to ameliorate symptoms or avoid seizures. Typically, a threshold is selected (8 or 10) and no medications are needed as long as the patient is under it. Once it is exceeded, graduated doses of lorazepam or diazepam are given and vital signs and CIWA scores are repeated regularly." }, { "docid": "D1396396#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/health/medical-term-adl-stand-9c334e1bb73ef61d\nWhat Does the Medical Term ADL Stand For?", "text": "\"Health Diagnostics & Imaging Q: What Does the Medical Term ADL Stand For?

While most consider going on an alcohol detox after a heavy night of drinking, real alcohol detox can lead to severe symptoms for those suffering from alcoholism or alcohol dependency. Definition Alcohol detox symptoms are what people, who regularly drink alcohol, experience when they stop drinking, completely. It will vary based on the severity of the alcohol use. It’s important to remember that alcohol is a very powerful depressant drug. It’s thought that a confluence of factors is responsible for causing the varying effects of alcohol detox, including genetics, environmental factors and individual psychological factors. Alcohol use over a long period of time damages nearly every organ system in the body. The most immediate cause for concern is damage to the liver and brain.

This blood test measures an enzyme called creatine kinase (CK) or creatine phosphokinase (CPK). Enzymes are chemicals that help the cells of your body work. Muscle cells make the creatine kinase enzyme. When muscle cells are injured or diseased, enzymes leak out of the cells and enter the bloodstream. This test is also called a total CK test. Why is this test done? The CK test may be done to check for muscle injury. It can give an idea of how bad the injury is, when it happened, and whether it is healing. Other blood tests may be needed to find which area has been injured." } ]	[ { "docid": "D266042#0", "title": "http://www.medic8.com/blood-disorders/blood-test/specific-blood-tests/creatine-kinase-ck-mb-test.html\n.", "text": "Creatine Kinase CK-MB Test Other names: CK-MB Test CK-MB is a form of creatine kinase; it is found mostly in the heart muscle. Levels of CK-MB rise after a patient has sustained damage to the heart muscle. Why is the test used? The test is used primarily to check if a patient has had a heart attack; levels of CK-MB increase if the heart muscle cells have been damaged. The CK-MB test may be ordered if a patient has been suffering from chest pain and the doctor suspects that they have had a heart attack; it may be ordered if a CK test has already been done and the results have indicated that levels of CK are high. The CK-MB test is generally considered to be more useful when checking for damage to the heart because CK-MB is mostly found in the heart muscle cells; a high CK test result may indicate damage to the heart, but it could also mean that other muscles in the body are damaged. How is the test done? The test is done by collecting and analysing a sample of blood. The sample is collected using a needle, which is inserted into a vein in the arm; the blood is drawn out and collected in a syringe. Once the sample has been taken, the blood will be bottled, labelled with the patient’s name and sent away to the laboratory for analysis." }, { "docid": "D708030#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/what-does-a-cmp-blood-test-check-for\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: What Does A Cmp Blood Test Check For", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: What Does A Cmp Blood Test Check For Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Gurmukh Singh1 Can a cmp blood test diagnose a disease?

Slideshow Dental (Oral) Health Quiz Causes of a Heart Attack Slideshow Test Overview Facebook Twitter Email Print Article Cardiac enzyme studies measure the levels of enzymes and proteins that are linked with injury of the heart muscle. These include the enzymes creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and creatine kinase (CK), and the proteins troponin I (Tn I) and troponin T (Tn T). Low levels of these enzymes and proteins are normally found in your blood, but if your heart muscle is injured, such as from a heart attack, the enzymes and proteins leak out of damaged heart muscle cells, and their levels in the bloodstream rise. Because some of these enzymes and proteins are also found in other body tissues, their levels in the blood may rise when those other tissues are damaged. Cardiac enzyme studies must always be compared with your symptoms, your physical examination findings, and electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) results. Why It Is Done Cardiac enzyme studies are done to: Determine whether you are having a heart attack or a threatened heart attack ( unstable angina) if you have chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, sweating, and abnormal electrocardiography results. Check for injury to the heart after bypass surgery. Determine if a procedure, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or a medicine to dissolve the blockage (thrombolytic medicine) has successfully restored blood flow through a blocked coronary artery.

Next Section Abstract The Department of Laboratory Medicine at Asan Medical Center provides a special one-stop service to allow both doctors and outpatients to receive routine outpatient test results in a timely manner within 1 hr. We developed a new Laboratory Information System (LIS)-based monitoring system that records the laboratory turnaround time (TAT) in 3 phases and analyzes the time to complete each phase with relevant specimens. TAT is subdivided into preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical phases based on the 4 time points when data are entered automatically into the LIS. The average TAT for 13,594 outpatient routine chemistry specimens with the one-stop service was 43.6±7.7 min. Completion times of the preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical phases were 29.7±6.9, 13.9±4.1, and 0.02±0.13 min, respectively; 98.0% of the specimens were reported within 60 min. The remaining 2.0% were reported after 60 min with an average TAT of 68.7±11.3 min. Preanalytical phase delays were primarily responsible for the specimens reported between 60 and 90 min, and analytical phase delays were largely responsible for the few specimens (0.2%) reported after 90 min. For specimens reported between 60 and 90 min, the preanalytical phase was found to need improvement in order to shorten TAT; the main target for improvement was identified as the “waiting time for phlebotomy” step.automation clinical laboratory service laboratory test turnaround time Previous Section Next Section Introduction The laboratory turnaround time can be defined differently according to the test type (stat vs routine), analyte, and institution." }, { "docid": "D70821#0", "title": "http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/91229.aspx\nBright Hub", "text": "\"4 Comments Home > Science > Medical Science > Laboratory Testing What Do CK Levels Mean in a Blood Test?written by: Dr. Kristie Leong•edited by: Diana Cooper•updated: 3/7/2017Has your doctor told you your CK is high?

Enzymes are highly specialized complex proteins that aid chemical changes in every part of the body. For example, they help break down food so your body can use it effectively. They also help your blood clot. And they’re present in every organ and cell in your body. Enzymes are necessary for your body to function properly. Enzyme markers are blood tests that analyze specific enzyme activity in the body. Some inherited diseases or conditions can cause these enzymes to stop working or be less efficient. Monitoring the rise or fall of enzyme levels can aid in the diagnosis of a variety of conditions.

My doctor was happy because if it had been high, it would have indicated a high level of muscle damage like with heart problems or muscular dystrophy. She said she couldn't find any info on what it could mean if it was a low result, so it must not be significant. Well, I have searched the net and haven't found anything about a low result, either, but it bothers me. My doc said, well, maybe it just means you don't have much muscle mass--well, I used to have a very decent amount because I worked out and lifted weights; when I started getting sick, I noticed that when I worked out lifting weights, I wasn't getting the response I normally get (i.e. increase in strength and muscle mass and tone and definition).

Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK)Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) is an enzyme found mainly in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. Creatine kinase (CK), also known as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) or phospho-creatine kinase, is an enzyme (EC 2.7.3.2) expressed by various tissues and cell types. CK catalyses the conversion of creatine and consumes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to create phosphocreatine (PCr) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). This CK enzyme reaction is reversible and thus ATP can be generated from PCr and ADP. Main Document\"\"An elevated CPK result, or one that goes up from the first test to the second one or later samples, usually indicates there has been some recent muscle damage...\"\"Creatine phosphokinase or, 'CPK,' is an enzyme found in high concentrations in a person's muscles where it facilitates a person's muscle contraction. CPK is also referred to as, 'creatine kinase,' or, 'CK.' A doctor might check a person's CPK when they are concerned a person has experienced muscle damage or breakdown. In a rare condition called, 'rhabdomyolysis,' extreme muscle breakdown floods a person's blood with CPK and additional chemicals in their muscle cells.

But because making diet and lifestyle changes can be difficult, many people turn to dietary supplements promoted for weight loss in the hope that these products will help them more easily achieve their weight-loss goals. Approximately 15% of U. S. adults have used a weight-loss dietary supplement at some point in their lives; more women report use (21%) than men (10%) [ 8 ]. Americans spend about $2.1 billion a year on weight-loss dietary supplements in pill form (e.g., tablets, capsules, and softgels) [ 9 ], and one of the top 20 reasons why people take dietary supplements is to lose weight [ 10 ]. Dietary supplements promoted for weight loss encompass a wide variety of products and come in a variety of forms, including capsules, tablets, liquids, powders, and bars [ 11 ].

But a growing number of American dieters who take nutritional supplements containing the fatty acid CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) believe this latest weight-loss trend has real substance. They have found that, when used in conjunction with a regimented plan of diet and exercise, CLA not only reduces body fat but also increases muscle strength and exercise endurance. Now science has stepped in to explore CLA’s too-good-to-be-true health claims — and CLA has stood up to the skeptics. CLA is related to the omega-6 fatty acids, one of the two types of essential fatty acids that help the body increase metabolic rates, boost the immune system and keep cholesterol levels in check. CLA is found in dairy and animal fats, such as beef, lamb, whole milk, and eggs, but cannot be produced by the human body. Interest in CLA began in the late 1980s when Michael W.

Although many exist, only two are commonly referred to. One called c9t11 (cis-9, trans-11) and the other t10c12 (trans-10, cis-12), named after what bond occurs where on the side chain. CLA has been investigated to be a fat burner and health promoting agent due to its effect on a molecular signalling receptor family named PPAR which is related to fat burning, steroid signalling, inflammation, and glucose/lipid metabolism.

But on the animal side of things, we should also think about grass-fed lamb! The omega-3 content of lamb depends upon the young sheep's diet as well as the mother's diet, but when those diets are nutritionally supportive, the result can be a cut of lamb with an impressive amount of omega-3s. In regions of some countries without access to a coastline and fish, lamb has sometimes been shown to provide more omega-3s than any other food in the diet. In Australia, where lamb is eaten frequently by both children and adults, recent studies have shown lamb to rank among the top omega-3 foods in the daily diet. Grass-fed lamb has been shown to average at least 25% more omega-3s than conventionally fed lamb, including as much as 49% more ALA (alpha-linolenic acid, the basic building block for omega-3s). In our own nutritional profile of grass-fed lamb, we use a conservative average estimate of 40 milligrams of omega-3s per ounce of roasted lamb loin. That's 50% of the omega-3s in an ounce of baked cod fish or broiled tuna, and 67% of the amount in an ounce of sesame seeds. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a health supportive omega-6 fatty acid that has surprised researchers in terms of its health benefits. Since the average U.

Definitions for biological classification Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word biological classification. Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Biological classification Biological classification, or scientific classification in biology, is a method of scientific taxonomy used to group and categorize organisms into groups such as genus or species. These groups are known as taxa. Modern biological classification has its root in the work of Carolus Linnaeus, who grouped species according to shared physical characteristics. These groupings have since been revised to improve consistency with the Darwinian principle of common descent. With the introduction of the cladistic method in the late 20th century, phylogenetic taxonomy in which organisms are grouped based purely on inferred evolutionary relatedness, ignoring morphological similarity, has become common in some areas of biology. Molecular phylogenetics, which uses DNA sequences as data, has also driven many recent revisions and is likely to continue doing so.

The complete sequence of ranks is life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species In biology, a phylum (plural: phyla ) [note is a taxonomic rank below Kingdom and above Class. \"\" Phylum\"\" is equivalent to the botanical term division. Phylum is one of the major biological divisions called Taxa. The Kingdom Animalia contains approximately forty phyla. The relationships among phyla are becoming increasingly well known, and larger clades can be found to contain many of the phyla.

Full Answer In nature, all living things are considered open systems, as they continually exchange energy and matter with their surroundings and at times reach a point of balance. Living organisms are constantly modifying in reaction to the environment and therefore are considered open systems. In contrast, a closed system is one in which no material enters or exits.

Discover the meaning and origin of the term 'homologous'. Learn how this expression is used in several branches of biology including evolutionary biology, genetics and developmental biology. Etymology A homophone is a word that sounds the same as another but has a different meaning. If a group is homogenous, all of its members are uniform or consistent. A homosexual is a person sexually attracted to a member of the same sex. Noticing a pattern? Words with the prefix 'homo' all have the idea of sameness in their meaning. We will be continuing with this etymology as we discuss the various definitions of 'homologous' that are found in biology.

First used to denote national affiliations, the term began to be used to relate to physical traits in the 17th century. In the early 20th century the term was often used, in a taxonomic sense, to denote genetically differentiated human populations defined by phenotype. While biologists sometimes use the concept of race to make distinctions among fuzzy sets of traits, others in the scientific community suggest that the idea of race often is used in a naive or simplistic way, i.e. that among humans, race has no taxonomic significance: all living humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens and subspecies, Homo sapiens sapiens. Social conceptions and groupings of races vary over time, involving folk taxonomies that define essential types of individuals based on perceived traits. Scientists consider biological essentialism obsolete, and generally discourage racial explanations for collective differentiation in both physical and behavioural traits. Since the second half of the 20th century the associations of race with the ideologies and theories that grew out of the work of 19th-century anthropologists and physiologists has led to the use of the word race itself becoming problematic. Although still used in general contexts, it is now often replaced by other words which are less ambiguous and emotionally charged, such as populations, people (s), ethnic groups or communities depending on context." }, { "docid": "D3281120#0", "title": "http://www.encyclopedia.com/science/science-magazines/biology-classification-systems\nBiology: Classification Systems", "text": "Biology: Classification Systems Introduction“All science is either physics or stamp collecting,” declared New Zealand—born English physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937).

Stamp collecting is not merely amassing stamps: The conscientious collector imposes order, whether by date, nationality, subject, shape, or other factors. Analogously, much scientific inquiry imposes order on the world. There are many sciences of classification: Astronomers classify stars; geologists, rocks; physiologists, diseases; meteorologists, storms; and chemists, molecules. Social scientists classify human behaviors—even mathematicians classify. But the most developed classification systems have arisen in biology to classify the natural world.

Aristotle (384BC-322BC) developed the first known method of classifying organisms, grouping organisms by their means of transport such as air, land, and water. A number of other naturalists followed with other classification systems. But it was Swedish botanist, Carolus (Carl) Linnaeus (1707-1778) that is considered to be the pioneer of modern taxonomy. In his book Systema Naturae, first published in 1735, Carl Linnaeus introduced a rather clever way to classify and name organisms. This system, now referred to as Linnaean taxonomy, has been used to varying extents, ever since. About Linnaean Taxonomy Linnaean taxonomy categorizes organisms into a hierarchy of kingdoms, classes, orders, families, genera, and species based on shared physical characteristics. The category of phylum was added to the classification scheme later, as a hierarchical level just beneath kingdom. Groups at the top of the hierarchy (kingdom, phylum, class) are more broad in definition and contain a greater number of organisms than the more specific groups that are lower in the hierarchy (families, genera, species). By assigning each group of organisms to a kingdom, phylum, class, family, genus, and species, they can then be uniquely characterized." }, { "docid": "D982819#0", "title": "https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ecology/\nEcology", "text": "\"Ecology First published Fri Dec 23, 2005The science of ecology studies interactions between individual organisms and their environments, including interactions with both conspecifics and members of other species.

Central philosophical problems include explication of relevant notions of ecological diversity and stability the relation between diversity and stability. Other debated questions are the nature of laws and theories in ecology, strategies of model-building, and reductionism. Contemporary ecology is undergoing a conceptual upheaval because of increased computational power. The recent emphasis on individual-based models, which embrace methodological individualism, should be viewed as a return of reductionism in ecology.

It sank into an almost complete oblivion during the twentieth, when it was eclipsed by neopositivism. However, Comte's decision to develop successively a philosophy of mathematics, a philosophy of physics, a philosophy of chemistry and a philosophy of biology, makes him the first philosopher of science in the modern sense, and his constant attention to the social dimension of science resonates in many respects with current points of view. His political philosophy, on the other hand, is even less known, because it differs substantially from the classical political philosophy we have inherited. Comte's most important works are (1) the Course on Positive Philosophy (1830-1842, six volumes, translated and condensed by Harriet Martineau as The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte ); (2) the System of Positive Polity, or Treatise on Sociology, Instituting the Religion of Humanity, (1851-1854, four volumes); and (3) the Early Writings (1820-1829), where one can see the influence of Saint-Simon, for whom Comte served as secretary from 1817 to 1824. The Early Writings are still the best introduction to Comte's thought. In the Course, Comte said, science was transformed into philosophy; in the System, philosophy was transformed into religion. The second transformation met with strong opposition; as a result, it has become customary to distinguish, with Mill, between a “good Comte” (the author of the Course) and a “bad Comte” (the author of the System ).

The protists do not form a natural group, or clade, since they have no common characteristic origin, but, like algae or invertebrates, they are often grouped together for convenience. In some systems of biological classification, such as the popular five-kingdom scheme proposed by Robert Whittaker in 1969, the protists make up a kingdom called Protista, composed of \"\"organisms which are unicellular or unicellular-colonial and which form no tissues\"\". [ 2] [3] [A]Besides their relatively simple levels of organization, protists do not necessarily have much in common. [ 6] When used, the term “protists” is now considered to mean similar-appearing but diverse taxa (biological groups) that are not related through an exclusive common ancestor, and have different life cycles, trophic levels, modes of locomotion, and cellular structures. [ 7] [8] In the classification system of Lynn Margulis, the term protist is reserved for microscopic organisms, while the more inclusive term Protoctista is applied to a biological kingdom which includes certain large multicellular eukaryotes, such as kelp, red algae and slime molds. [ 9] Others use the term protist more broadly, to encompass both microbial eukaryotes and macroscopic organisms that do not fit into the other traditional kingdoms. In cladistic systems (classifications based on common ancestry), there are no equivalents to the taxa Protista or Protoctista, both terms referring to a paraphyletic group which spans the entire eukaryotic tree of life. In cladistic classification, the contents of Protista are distributed among various supergroups ( SAR such as amoebas, protozoa and some algae, Archaeplastida such as land plants and some algae, Excavata, which are a group of unicellular organisms, Opisthokonta such as animals and fungi, etc.)" }, { "docid": "D1771551#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_sporangium\nWhat is sporangium?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Botany or Plant Biology What is sporangium?

Sporangium is a classification of fungi, distinct from other forms of fungi (such as budding fungi or symbiotic fungi) because it is a sporing fungi which produces spores in the sporangia. Many forms of fungi reproduce by sporing via the hyphae. The hyphae of most fungi are either rooted in the ground or in the host, depending on whether the species of fungi is saprophytic or parasitic, respectively. Fungus described as Sporangium also reproduces (proliferates) via the production of spores, but specifically the spores are produced in the sporangia; the sporangia form on the thread-like stalks -- known as the hyphae -- of the plant body. Normally, the hyphae (which produce spores in sporing fungi) are anchored in the nutritional substrate, either the ground or some host body, in most cases. The part of the fungi that is \"\"above ground\"\" or visible on a host body is called the fruiting body. However, in the case of sporangium fungi, the hyphae are not anchored in some substrate, but instead are usually found external of the substrate or host, where the fruiting body would be described." } ]

In very severe claudication the pain is also felt ar rest. Intermittent claudication may occur in one or both legs and often continues to worsen over time. However, some people complain only of weakness in the legs when walking or a feeling of \"\"tiredness\"\" in the buttocks. Impotence is an occasional complaint in men. The usually intermittent nature of the pain is due to narrowing of the arteries that supply the leg with blood, limiting the supply of oxygen to the leg muscles, a limitation that is felt especially when the oxygen requirement of these muscles rises with exercise. Intermittent claudication can be due to temporary artery narrowing due to vasospasm (spasm of the artery), permanent artery narrowing due to atherosclerosis, or complete occlusion (closure) of an artery to the leg. The condition is quite common, more so in men than women. It affects 1-2% of the population under 60 years of age, 3-4% of persons age 60 to 70 and over 5% of people over 70.

At the request of Andelle Teng, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon working in Washington, the revised codes now include options to describe a patient with spinal stenosis with or without neurogenic claudication. Previously, there was just a single code and the important distinction between the two conditions was, therefore, lost. What is Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Neurogenic Claudication Lumbar spinal stenosis is a descriptive term for narrowing of the lumbar spinal canal, which can cause symptoms but can also be asymptomatic in some individuals. Collecting all patients together under the same code implied that all patients with spinal stenosis were surgical candidates or required some kind of treatment whereas many do not require such intervention. Patients with neurogenic claudication suffer symptoms such as buttock and leg cramps, pain, fatigue, and an exacerbation of symptoms when standing upright. Such symptoms often lead to patients developing a hunched posture to reduce the stenosis and this postural abnormality can cause further problems in the spine. The New Spinal Stenosis Codes There were a number of other codes included in the revisions, such as those for nerve tumors, blood type incompatibility, and multiple pregnancies; 141 changes were proposed in all with 121 introduced, 11 invalidated, and 9 revised. The revised code for spinal stenosis is now 2012 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 724.02 (spinal stenosis, other than cervical, lumbar region, without neurogenic claudication), and the new ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 724.03 (spinal stenosis, other than cervical, lumbar region, with neurogenic claudication) offers more specificity for doctors and their patients. Patients can, of course, fall into both categories if stenosis is severe enough to cause neurogenic claudication in one region of the spine but less pronounced and/or asymptomatic in another spinal section." }, { "docid": "D2246983#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_insufficiency\nPeripheral artery disease", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Arterial insufficiency)navigation search Peripheral artery disease Synonyms Peripheral vascular disease (PVD), peripheral artery occlusive disease, peripheral obliterative arteriopathy An arterial insufficiency ulcer in a person with severe peripheral artery disease Specialty Vascular surgery Symptoms Leg pain when walking which resolves with rest, skin ulcers, bluish skin, cold skin [1] [2]Complications Infection, amputation [3]Causes Atherosclerosis, artery spasm [4] [5]Risk factors Cigarette smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol.

In both clinical and animal studies, policosanol has been shown to significantly reduce levels of low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol while increasing levels of high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Moreover, policosanol has favorable effects on intermittent claudication, possibly due to its effects on platelet aggregation and endothelial function. Clinical trials indicate that policosanol may have applications in the treatment of familial (type II) and diabetes-related hypercholesterolemia, as well as intermittent claudication. Policosanol contains a mixture of eight primary aliphatic alcohols (24-34 carbons in length) extracted from sugar cane ( Saccharum officinarum) wax. Octacosanol is the predominant moiety, comprising approximately 63% of the mixture. Other important constituents include triacontanol (13%) and hexacosanol (6%).

D., Tribune Media Services. Q. I have a calcified aorta that my doctor says supplies blood to my feet. How does this happen?--N. K., Flushing, N. Y. A. The calcium in your aorta is probably the result of atherosclerosis. This occurs when fatty substances form plaque on and in the inner wall of an artery. The deposits are called atheromas. This buildup of fatty material and other debris reduces the elasticity of the artery and reduces blood flow around the area of accumulation. This material also can break off from the arterial wall, travel in the bloodstream and finally become lodged in a smaller artery, blocking it completely. When an artery is blocked, the part of the body served by the artery beyond that point may not receive enough blood. This results in a decrease of oxygen (and other nutrients) delivered to the affected tissue, a condition known as ischemia. Blockage of coronary arteries is associated with heart attacks, and blockage of carotid arteries and their branches in the brain is associated with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and strokes." }, { "docid": "D2424616#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/thoracic-stenosis-with-myelopathy\nTop 20 Doctor insights on: Thoracic Spondylosis With Myelopathy", "text": "\"Top 20 Doctor insights on: Thoracic Spondylosis With Myelopathy Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Richard Zimon2 doctors agreed:1 What is Thoracic spondylosis without myelopathy?

Sometimes called intermittent claudication, this condition generally affects the blood vessels in the legs, but claudication can affect the arms, too. At first, you'll probably notice the pain only when you're exercising, but as claudication worsens, the pain may affect you even when you're at rest. Although it's sometimes considered a disease, claudication is technically a symptom of a disease. Most often, claudication is a symptom of peripheral artery disease, a potentially serious but treatable circulation problem in which the vessels that supply blood flow to your legs or arms are narrowed. Fortunately, with treatment, you may be able to maintain an active lifestyle without pain. Claudication Claudication is pain caused by too little blood flow to your legs or arms. This is usually a symptom of peripheral artery disease, in which the arteries that supply blood to your limbs are narrowed, usually because of atherosclerosis.

The condition is intermittent claudication. This problem is often seen in elderly patients with arteriosclerosis. The poor circulation is sufficient when the patient is resting, but once the patient starts moving (i.e. activating leg muscles) the increased energy-consumption will require more blood for resupply of nutrients, and removal of waste products. If a person has significant arteriosclerosis, often in a hip or thigh artery, no more blood will be able to profuse the leg muscles. Oxygen lack and wasteproduct-buildup will cause painful muscle cramps. Once the patient remains stationary for a little while, the symptoms disappear, but only to come back once the patient has walked on a little further. This condition is intermittent, because it is not chronic - i.e. it only appears when the patient walks." }, { "docid": "D2933809#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_spinal_stenosis\nLumbar spinal stenosis", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Lumbar spinal stenosis Lumbar vertebra showing central stenosis and lateral recess stenosis.

It's the same process as heart disease justdifferent blood vessels in the body. So themost common and earliest stage of symptomaticlower extremity vascular disease is what we call claudication. Typically that's describedas cramping of the muscles below the level of blockage. So if you have a blockage inthe pelvic or hip area a patient might have cramping in the thighs when they walk longerdistances or walk up stairs.

Peripheral vascular disease commonly affects the arteries supplying the leg and is mostly caused by atherosclerosis. Restriction of blood flow due to arterial stenosis or occlusion often leads patients to complain of muscle pain on walking (intermittent claudication). Any further reduction in blood flow causes ischemic pain at rest, which affects the foot. Ulceration and gangrene may then supervene and can result in loss of the limb if not treated. The Fontaine score is useful when classifying the severity of ischemia (see box). Although many patients with claudication remain stable, about 150 to 200per million of the population progress to critical limb ischemia (Fontaine IIIor IV) each year. Many patients with critical limb ischemia can undergorevascularization, which has a reasonable chance of saving the limb." }, { "docid": "D2428665#0", "title": "http://www.sbu.se/en/publications/sbu-assesses/cilostazol-in-treating-intermittent-claudication/\nCilostazol in Treating Intermittent Claudication", "text": "Share: Share on Facebook Share on Linked In Share on Twitter Share via Email Reading time approx. 10 minutes This document was published more than 2 years ago.

It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was originally proposed to assuage Anti-Federalist opposition to Constitutional ratification. Initially, the First Amendment applied only to laws enacted by the Congress, and many of its provisions were interpreted more narrowly than they are today. Beginning with Gitlow v. New York (1925), the Supreme Court applied the First Amendment to states—a process known as incorporation —through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In Everson v. Board of Education (1947), the Court drew on Thomas Jefferson 's correspondence to call for \"\"a wall of separation between church and State\"\", though the precise boundary of this separation remains in dispute. Speech rights were expanded significantly in a series of 20th and 21st-century court decisions which protected various forms of political speech, anonymous speech, campaign financing, pornography, and school speech; these rulings also defined a series of exceptions to First Amendment protections. The Supreme Court overturned English common law precedent to increase the burden of proof for defamation and libel suits, most notably in New York Times Co. v.

Drafting and adoption [ edit]The primary author of the Privileges or Immunities Clause was Congressman John Bingham of Ohio. The common historical view is that Bingham's primary inspiration, at least for his initial prototype of this Clause, was the Privileges and Immunities Clause in Article Four of the United States Constitution, [1] [2] which provided that \"\"The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States\"\". On February 3, 1866, the Joint Committee on Reconstruction (also known as the \"\"Joint Committee of Fifteen\"\") voted in favor of a draft constitutional amendment proposed by Bingham. [ 3] The draft constitutional amendment provided: The Congress shall have power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper to secure to the citizens of each state all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.... This language closely tracked the existing language in the Privileges and Immunities Clause. On February 28, 1866, Bingham expressed his opinion that this draft language would give Congress power to \"\"secure to the citizens of each State all the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States in the several States\"\", and he added that, \"\"The proposition pending before the House is simply a proposition to arm the Congress…with the power to enforce the bill of rights as it stands in the constitution today. It hath that extent—no more…If the State laws do not interfere, those immunities follow under the Constitution”.

However, if a liberal justice takes Antonin Scalia’s seat on the Supreme Court, the ban would be struck down nonetheless. Donald Trump has refined his proposal over the past couple months. His final position is that the United States should temporarily bar Muslim immigrants from certain countries where we know terrorists are training or operating, as well as from countries where U. S. authorities cannot adequately vet potential immigrants. Rather than a permanent ban, such a prohibition would be in place only until federal authorities can define the scope of the threat of radical Islamic terrorists infiltrating this country, and fully investigate all prospective immigrants. Clinton, liberal Democrats shout that such a policy is unconstitutional. They are now joined by Khan, a foreign lawyer the Left laughingly advertises as a constitutional expert, despite the fact that Khan is an ordinary lawyer who does not litigate constitutional law cases, does not teach constitutional law, and has never published a scholarly work on the Constitution. With “experts” like Khan, it’s no surprise that they’re wrong. Three provisions of the U. S. Constitution are relevant to Trump’s proposed policy.

It is a telling indictment of the incorporation doctrine that nowhere in the Fourteenth Amendment does it say anything about incorporating any part of the Bill of Rights. The wisdom exercised by Chief Justice Marshall in Barron v. The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore (1833) should be followed here. In writing about the applicability of the Bill of Rights to the states, Marshall clearly explains why such was not the case: Had the framers of these amendments intended them to be limitations on the powers of the state governments, they would have imitated the framers of the original constitution, and have expressed that intention. Had congress engaged in the extraordinary occupation of improving the constitutions of the several states, by affording the people additional protection from the exercise of power by their own governments, in matters which concerned themselves alone, they would have declared this purpose in plain and intelligible language. It is inconceivable that if such a thing took place that such a significant doctrine as incorporation would be so veiled that it would take years before some Supreme Court judge discovered that there was such a thing. The Blaine Amendment We know from the opening line of the First Amendment (“Congress shall make no law”) that the Amendment applied only to the federal government. It is a fact of history that James Madison’s proposal in 1789 to extend to the states the freedom of speech and of the press was rejected by the Congress that gave us the Bill of Rights.

It doesn't place restrictions on the exercise of religion, but prevents the government from acting preferentially to one religion over another. The original intent of the First Amendment was to prevent the establishment of a \"\"state religion\"\" as the Founders believed that this was one of the many causes of governmental overreach, and that people in a \"\"free\"\" nation should not be forced to observe any one specific religion over the others. In some cases, the exercise of religion does trump statutory law - in that a recognized religious practice of any \"\"established\"\" religion may not be legislated against by the State or Federal government. For example, no state could make it illegal to pray multiple times each day, because that would be an unreasonable limitation on Muslim practices. Similarly, states are expected to protect employees from actions based on their religious beliefs - so if someone were fired for taking multiple breaks each day to pray to Mecca, that would not be a legal basis for doing so. Obviously, there are limits to what would be allowed under the law even as a religious practice - for example, human sacrifice would not be permitted even if you could prove that it is part of your \"\"established religious practices\"\". It's really more of a case-by-case basis than there is any hard-and-fast rule in this regard. A good statement from the court on this topic might be the following: The Free Exercise Clause commits government itself to religious tolerance, and upon even slight suspicion that proposals for state intervention stem from animosity to religion or distrust of its practices, all officials must pause to remember their own high duty to the Constitution and to the rights it secures. Those in office must be resolute in resisting importunate demands and must ensure that the sole reasons for imposing the burdens of law and regulation are secular." }, { "docid": "D316025#0", "title": "https://donemyessay.com/government-unit-3/\nGovernment Unit 3 â Which of these statements was implied by the decision in brown v. board of education?", "text": "Government Unit 3 – Which of these statements was implied by the decision in brown v. board of education?free speech The First Amendment protects the right to We Will Write A Custom Essay Sample On Government Unit 3 – Which of...

The amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws and was proposed in response to issues related to former slaves following the American Civil War. The amendment was bitterly contested, particularly by the states of the defeated Confederacy, which were forced to ratify it in order to regain representation in Congress. The Fourteenth Amendment, particularly its first section, is one of the most litigated parts of the Constitution, forming the basis for landmark decisions such as Brown v.

Hodges (2015) regarding same-sex marriage. The amendment limits the actions of all state and local officials, including those acting on behalf of such an official. The amendment's first section includes several clauses: the Citizenship Clause, Privileges or Immunities Clause, Due Process Clause, and Equal Protection Clause. The Citizenship Clause provides a broad definition of citizenship, nullifying the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), which had held that Americans descended from African slaves could not be citizens of the United States. The Privileges or Immunities Clause has been interpreted in such a way that it does very little. The Due Process Clause prohibits state and local government officials from depriving persons of life, liberty, or property without legislative authorization.

United States (1879) The Court examined whether the federal anti-bigamy statute violated the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause, because plural marriage is part of religious practice. It unanimously upheld the federal law banning polygamy, noting that the Free Exercise Clause forbids government from regulating belief, but does allow government to punish activity judged to be criminal, regardless of an activity’s basis in religious belief.

It decided 8-1 in favor of the school policy, ruling that the government could require respect for the flag as a key symbol of national unity and a means of preserving national security.

It ruled unanimously against the state, noting that although general regulations on solicitation are legitimate, in allowing local officials to determine which causes were religious and which ones were not and to issue and deny permits accordingly, the state of Connecticut took on the role of determining religious truth—which violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The Court also held that the peaceful expression of beliefs is protected by the First Amendment from infringement by not only the federal government, but also by state governments.

It states that \"\"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.\"\" This clause represented Congress 's reversal of a portion of the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision which had declared that African Americans were not and could not become citizens of the United States or enjoy any of the privileges and immunities of citizenship. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 had already granted U. S. citizenship to all persons born in the United States \"\"not subject to any foreign power\"\".

Mangahas, 77 M. J. 220 (it is a long-established principle that federal courts will avoid a constitutional question if the issue presented in a case may be adjudicated on a nonconstitutional ground; this is true even where the nonconstitutional ground, although raised at trial, is not raised by the parties on appeal). United States v. Chisum, 77 M. J. 176 (a constitutional error is harmless when it appears beyond a reasonable doubt that the error complained of did not contribute to the verdict obtained; to say that an error did not contribute to the ensuing verdict is not, of course, to say that the jury was totally unaware of that feature of the trial later held to have been erroneous, but rather, to find that error unimportant in relation to everything else the jury considered on the issue in question, as revealed in the record). ( when an error constitutes a constitutionally improper denial of a defendant’s opportunity to impeach a witness for bias, an appellate court’s harmless beyond a reasonable doubt review includes weighing the importance of the witness’s testimony in the prosecution’s case, whether the testimony was cumulative, the presence or absence of evidence corroborating or contradicting the testimony of the witness on material points, the extent of cross-examination otherwise permitted, and, of course, the overall strength of the prosecution’s case).2016 (October Term)United States v. Oliver, 76 M. J. 271 (while there is a presumption against the waiver of constitutional rights, an appellant may waive the right to raise such issue on appeal provided it is clearly established that there was an intentional relinquishment or abandonment of a known right). ( an error in charging an offense is not subject to automatic dismissal, even though it affects constitutional rights; an appellant must show that under the totality of the circumstances in his case, the government’s error resulted in material prejudice to his substantial, constitutional right to notice). 2015 (September Term)United States v. Hoffmann, 75 M. J. 120 (where the error by the military judge in admitting evidence on the merits was of constitutional dimension, the error is harmless only when it appears beyond a reasonable doubt that the error complained of did not contribute to the verdict obtained; to say that an error did not contribute to the ensuing verdict is not, of course, to say that the jury was totally unaware of that feature of the trial later held to have been erroneous; to say that an error did not contribute to the verdict is, rather, to find that error unimportant in relation to everything else the jury considered on the issue in question, as revealed in the record). United States v. Busch, 75 M. J. 87 (the Constitution forbids the passage of ex post facto laws, a category that includes every law that changes the punishment, and inflicts a greater punishment, than the law annexed to the crime, when committed). United States v. Riggins, 75 M. J. 78 (where a conviction violated appellant’s constitutional rights to notice and to not be convicted of a crime that is not a lesser included offense of the offenses with which he was charged, such a constitutional error does not require automatic reversal, but instead is tested for prejudice).2014 (September Term)United States v. Castillo, 74 M. J. 160 (to successfully advance a facial challenge to the constitutional validity of a statute or regulation, the challenger must establish that no set of circumstances exists under which the regulation would be valid). United States v. Bennitt, 74 M. J. 125 (an accused has a right to be tried and heard on the specific charges of which he is accused). United States v. Piolunek, 74 M. J. 107 (if in fact a conviction rests on an unconstitutional statute or legal theory, it is at best questionable why or how the weight of the evidence overcomes that constitutional infirmity).

California, 283 US 359 (1931), jurors were told that they could convict the appellant under any of three clauses of a statute; the jury returned a general verdict without specifying the clause under which it had convicted; the Supreme Court found one of the three clauses to be unconstitutional on grounds of vagueness and ruled that the conviction of the appellant, which so far as the record discloses may have rested upon that clause exclusively, must be set aside; Stromberg applies only where members may have convicted on the basis of an unconstitutional statute or legal theory; that is not this case, as neither the statute nor the legal theory presented to the members was constitutionally infirm).

The answer is in the 'necessary and proper clause' of the U. S. Constitution, better known as the 'elastic clause,' which allows Congress to make laws it needs to carry out its own powers. Our Adapting Government Governments, especially the U. S. government, look almost all-powerful. With an enormous military, a gigantic budget, and a global reach, the United States is a daunting presence on the world stage. It's unnerving, then, to think that it exists mostly because of a few sheets of paper, with a description written in ink about two centuries ago. How did the U. S. government get from that to what it is today? Think about the Internet, for example. There's no way the Founding Fathers could have possibly imagined what the Internet can do, and there's no way they could've created a government that would know how to deal with it. What's truly amazing, then, about our Constitution is that there is, in fact, a rule that allows our government to accommodate the Internet, and toaster ovens, and endangered species, and interstellar travel...all the things the framers couldn't themselves imagine. It's called the necessary and proper clause, but it's more often known by a catchier title: the elastic clause." }, { "docid": "D2042332#0", "title": "https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/494/872\nEmployment Division v.

Their applications for unemployment compensation were denied by the State of Oregon under a state law disqualifying employees discharged for work-related \"\"misconduct.\"\" Holding that the denials violated respondents' First Amendment free exercise rights, the State Court of Appeals reversed. The State Supreme Court affirmed, but this Court vacated the judgment and remanded for a determination whether sacramental peyote use is proscribed by the State's controlled substance law, which makes it a felony to knowingly or intentionally possess the drug. Pending that determination, the Court refused to decide whether such use is protected by the Constitution. On remand, the State Supreme Court held that sacramental peyote use violated, and was not excepted from, the state law prohibition, but concluded that that prohibition was invalid under the Free Exercise Clause. Held: The Free Exercise Clause permits the State to prohibit sacramental peyote use, and thus to deny unemployment benefits to persons discharged for such use." } ]

Drug elimination refers to the irreversible removal of drug from the body by all routes of elimination. The declining plasma drug concentration observed after systemic drug absorption shows that the drug is being eliminated from the body but does not indicate which elimination processes are involved. Drug elimination is usually divided into two major components: excretion and biotransformation. Drug excretion is the removal of the intact drug. Nonvolatile drugs are excreted mainly by renal excretion, a process in which the drug passes through the kidney to the bladder and ultimately into the urine. Other pathways for drug excretion may include the excretion of drug into bile, sweat, saliva, milk (via lactation), or other body fluids. Volatile drugs, such as gaseous anesthetics, alcohol, or drugs with high volatility, are excreted via the lungs into expired air. Biotransformation or drug metabolism is the process by which the drug is chemically converted in the body to a metabolite." } ]	[ { "docid": "D1205666#0", "title": "https://mentalhealthdaily.com/2015/10/15/how-long-does-ativan-lorazepam-stay-in-your-system/\nHow Long Does Ativan (Lorazepam) Stay In Your System?", "text": "How Long Does Ativan (Lorazepam) Stay In Your System? Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email Lorazepam (brand name “Ativan”) is a benzodiazepine drug that hit the market in 1977 and is commonly prescribed to treat anxiety. Although it is a highly effective treatment option for anxiety when used over a short-term, it is regarded as problematic when taken over an extended duration. Long-term usage of lorazepam is linked to dementia, memory impairment, and dependence. In addition, the drug is associated with rapid onset of tolerance, abuse, and addiction; benzodiazepines are among the most addictive drugs on the market. That said, when used under the supervision of a medical professional, risks of abuse and addiction can be minimized. Upon ingestion of lorazepam (Ativan) or other benzodiazepines, users report notable increases in physical and psychological relaxation. The relaxant effect derived from lorazepam is a result of enhancement of GABAergic neurotransmission (specifically at the GABAA receptor) via opening of chloride ion channels. Enhancing GABA is known to depress CNS activation, thereby facilitating a sedative/hypnotic response and reduced anxiety. Due to the multitude of problems stemming from long-term lorazepam usage, many users have decided to discontinue the drug and want to know how long it stays in their system before they are fully detoxified." }, { "docid": "D3448300#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/serum-creatinine-reference-range\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Serum Creatinine Normal Range", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Serum Creatinine Normal Range Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Ed Friedlander2 doctors agreed:1 If my serum creatinine increased but within normal range is it certain I will develope ckd?

Glomerular filtration rate ( GFR) describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. Creatinine clearance rate ( C Cr or Cr Cl) is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine per unit time and is a useful measure for approximating the GFR. Creatinine clearance exceeds GFR due to creatinine secretion, [ citation needed] which can be blocked by cimetidine. In alternative fashion, overestimation by older serum creatinine methods resulted in an underestimation of creatinine clearance, which provided a less biased estimate of GFR. [ 1] Both GFR and C Cr may be accurately calculated by comparative measurements of substances in the blood and urine, or estimated by formulas using just a blood test result ( e GFR and e C Cr ). The results of these tests are used to assess the excretory function of the kidneys. Staging of chronic kidney disease is based on categories of GFR as well as albuminuria and cause of kidney disease. [ 2]Dosage of drugs that are excreted primarily via urine may need to be modified based on either GFR or creatinine clearance.

Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email68Prednisone is a common synthetic corticosteroid medication that was initially synthesized in 1955. Upon ingestion of prednisone, it doesn’t elicit significant biological effects until converted via the liver to the pharmacologically active chemical “prednisolone.” Prednisolone functions as an irreversible glucorticoid receptor agonist, binding to alpha glucorticoid receptors (Alpha GRs) and beta glucorticoid receptors (Beta GRs) within bodily tissues to reduce inflammation. In addition to being an anti-inflammatory agent, prednisone is an effective immunosuppressant drug, exerting effects by modifying gene transcription, reducing activity within the lymphatic system (e.g. T-lymphocytes), decreasing levels of immunoglobulin, and minimizing travel of immune complexes through basement membranes. As a result of prenisolone’s widespread physiological effects (some of which aren’t fully understood), the drug can be used to effectively treat a variety of medical conditions including: asthma, COPD, CIPD, ulcerative colitis, Chron’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and more. Though prednisone is an extremely helpful medication when no other treatments are available, it is akin to using a pill-based atomic bomb; it may effectively hit the target (treat the medical condition), but there are often other casualties (severe adverse effects) incurred throughout the process. For this reason, prednisone is often reserved as a “last resort” or emergency treatment for serious medical conditions. Since treatment-induced adverse effects can linger well-after a person has discontinued treatment, many wonder whether prednisone is still in their system after stopping and for how long.

Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email Percocet is a brand name medication comprised of active ingredients oxycodone (a semi-synthetic opioid) and acetaminophen (paracetamol). It was first introduced to Germany in 1917 as an intravenous formulation for pain management among soldiers in World War I. Eventually it received approval in the United States (1976) as an oral (tablet) formulation as a narcotic analgesic for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain. The oxycodone within Percocet functions by acting as an agonist upon opioid receptors in the brain, primarily mu-receptors, but also kappa and delta receptors – thereby facilitating potent analgesic effects. The opioidergic effect decreases levels of c AMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) and elevates extracellular levels of neurotransmitters such as: acetylcholine, dopamine, GABA, norepinephrine, and substance P. This can often promote improved mood (euphoria), relaxation, and pleasure – making Percocet a popular drug of abuse. Long-term users of Percocet often report rapid onset of tolerance, addiction, and/or dependence upon the drug for daily functioning. Furthermore, the drug may deplete the body’s endogenous endorphin production, digging users into an even deeper hole of pain when they discontinue. As a result of deleterious long-term effects, many users are kicking their Percocet habit and attempting to clear the drug from their system. How long does Percocet stay in your system?

Let’s define what BUN (pronounced by spelling out the letters “B”, “U”, and “N”) and creatinine mean from a simple country nephrologist’s perspective. Creatinine is a molecule made by the muscles in your body. Creatinine is produced at a constant rate. Creatinine, for the purposes of this discussion, is cleared (or removed) from the kidney filters unchanged by the rest of the body’s metabolism.

A doctor who orders kidney function tests and uses the results to assess the functioning of the kidneys is called a nephrologist. Purpose The kidneys, the body's natural filtration system, perform many vital functions, including removing metabolic waste products from the bloodstream, regulating the body's water balance, and maintaining the p H (acidity/alkalinity) of the body's fluids. Approximately one and a half quarts of blood per minute are circulated through the kidneys, where waste chemicals are filtered out and eliminated from the body (along with excess water) in the form of urine. Kidney function tests help to determine if the kidneys are performing their tasks adequately. Precautions The doctor should take a complete history prior to conducting kidney function tests to evaluate the patient's food and drug intake. A wide variety of prescription and over-the-counter medications can affect blood and urine kidney function test results, as can some food and beverages. Description Many conditions can affect the ability of the kidneys to carry out their vital functions. Some conditions can lead to a rapid (acute) decline in kidney function; others lead to a gradual (chronic) decline in function.

By itself, urea is only mildly toxic, but a high urea level means that the levels of many other waste products that are more harmful and not as easily measured are also building up. To see whether dialysis is removing enough urea, the dialysis clinic should periodically—normally once a month—test a patient's blood to measure dialysis adequacy. Blood is sampled at the start of dialysis and at the end. The levels of urea in the two blood samples are then compared. Two methods are generally used to assess dialysis adequacy, URR and Kt/V. What is the URR? URR stands for urea reduction ratio, meaning the reduction in urea as a result of dialysis. The URR is one measure of how effectively a dialysis treatment removed waste products from the body and is commonly expressed as a percentage. Example: If the initial, or predialysis, urea level was 50 milligrams per deciliter (mg/d L) and the postdialysis urea level was 15 mg/d L, the amount of urea removed was 35 mg/d L.50 mg/d L - 15 mg/d L = 35 mg/d LThe amount of urea removed (35 mg/d L) is expressed as a percentage of the predialysis urea level (50 mg/d L).35/50 = 70/100 = 70%Although no fixed percentage can be said to represent an adequate dialysis, patients generally live longer and have fewer hospitalizations if the URR is at least 60 percent.

Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email55Effexor (Venlafaxine) is a SNRI (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) medication prescribed primarily for the treatment of major depressive disorder. It was initially introduced to the market by Wyeth in 1993 when it became the first dual-reuptake inhibitor to attain FDA approval for depression. It differed from the SSRIs in that in addition to solely inhibiting reuptake of serotonin, it also inhibited the reuptake of norepinephrine. Since research showed that certain individuals with depression often have low norepinephrine and serotonin, it made sense to target both with a pharmacological intervention. Though Effexor is known to target serotonin to nearly 30-fold the extent of norepinephrine, increasing levels of norepinephrine was believed to offset certain serotonergic side effects such as weight gain and sexual dysfunction. Furthermore, the slight norepinephrine increase was speculated to improve motivational deficits and cognitive impairment associated with depression. Despite many people getting relief from Effexor as a standalone treatment, as well as via part of a combination such as “ California Rocket Fuel ,” others haven’t had as much luck.

Contents [ hide]1 How long can Gabapentin be detected in your urine, blood, saliva?2 Routes of Gabapentin excretion3 Clearance of Gabapentin4 Variables influencing the clearance of Gabapentin5 Conclusion5.1 References Gabapentin, also known as Neurontin, is a drug that acts on the central nervous system. It was widely used for the treatment of epilepsy and relief of neuropathic pain but it has now been replaced by more effective and potent drugs such as carbamazepine. Gabapentin is however popularly used for recreational purposes. It is used for recreational purposes as a social drug and in the treatment of bipolar disorder due to its action as a central nervous system depressant. Gabapentin is a unique drug because it goes through the body without being metabolized. It is an analogue of GABA (gamma amino butyric acid), which is used in anticonvulsant therapy to treat partial seizures, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), refractory seizures, painful neuropathies such as trigeminal neuralgia, multiple sclerosis, tremors, dementia, restless leg syndrome and bipolar disorders. Gabapentin is highly lipid soluble (lipophilic) and is not metabolized by the liver. It does not bind to proteins and has a clearance rate of 190ml/min. It is excreted by the kidneys via the urine as an unchanged drug." }, { "docid": "D783185#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/5073681/renal-physiology-flash-cards/\nRenal Physiology", "text": "58 terms matthewni Renal Physiology Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort Blood supply to the Kindeys The kidneys are supplied by the afferent arterioles, which seliver blood for filtraiton in the glomerulus. The rate of blood flow through the afferent arterioles is known as the RENAL BLOOD FLOW, which typically measures about 20% of the cardiac output. The Efferent arterioles will carry blood out of the glomerulus back into the systemic circulation. Together, the efferent and the afferent arterioles maintain the GFR in the glomerulus by constriction and dilating. Constiction of the afferent arteriole will drop the ammount of blood passing into the glomerulus and therefore lower the GFR while constriciton of the efferent areteriole will cause blood to pool in the glomerulus and increases the GFRGlomerular Filtration Rate The volume of plasma filtered by each mintute by all the glomeruli in the kidneys It is maintained at rate of 125ml/min by the afferent and efferent arterioles. The clearance of creatine is used clinically to measure the GFRRenal Plasma FLow The volume of plasma that is delivered to the kidney every minutre by the afferent arteriole The kidneys receive about 20% of the total cardiac output and the total renal plasma flow measure approximately 600 m L/min Filtration vs. Reabsoprtion vs Secretion Filtration is the process of making urine. It occurs in the glomeruli and is depedent on the renal plasma flow Reabsorption occurs in the tubules of the kidney, with most of the substances that were filted in the glomerulus being reabsored into the peritubular capilalries. Most reabsoprtion occurs in the proximal tubule Secretion occurs in the tubules of the kidneys and involved the loss of ions and particles that the body wants to get rid of from the blood but were not filtered. Factors that affect the GFR The GFR can be affected by: The Filtration forces felt in the glomerulus the permeability of the glomerular membranes the rate of renal plasma flow REMEMBER: The GFR is maintained at approximately 125 ml/min in the glomerulus. This is accomplished by changes in the afferent and efferent arterioles." } ]

Everything you do on your LG Optimus smartphone -- play games, for example, browse the Web or read your email -- leaves behind a small bit of data on the device. While this cache of files helps your Optimus process that activity more efficiently next time, it takes up valuable memory space and may prompt minor glitches like frozen screens or slow load times. Regularly clearing out these caches can help free up some space for other content -- like photos and more apps -- and may also help improve your phone's performance.

Step 2Tap \"\"More\"\" and select \"\"Storage,\"\" then tap on \"\"Cached Data\"\" and approve the deletion of all app cache files.

Android Development Features by Kris Carlon April 14, 20178.9K8.9KWith Android O just around the corner, Android Nougat is slowly drawing to a close as the latest and greatest version of Android. But as Nougat steadily creeps towards double digits in terms of Android version distribution , and with Android 7.1.2 now out for a number of devices, we thought it was time to revisit the Android N release. Nougat may not have delivered the same dramatic visual overhaul we were first treated to in Android Lollipop two versions ago, but Nougat does provide a lot of major improvements and refinements over Marshmallow, along with quite a few arguably more important usability changes. With that in mind, join us as we run through all the major Android 7.x features – both user-facing and behind-the-scenes – in our full Android Nougat review. What’s new in Android 7.1 Nougat? For the sake of consistency, we’ve kept our original Android 7.0 Nougat review intact at the bottom of this post, with a new section above covering what’s new in more recent updates. If you just want to know the very latest Android has in store, the top parts are for you, but if you want a complete overview of everything to expect in Nougat when it arrives for your device, skip to the original review below and then join us back up here for the more recent additions. New Android 7.1.2 features The latest update for the Pixel and supported Nexus family is Android 7.1.2, originally announced on January 31, which actually brings a bit more than you might expect for an incremental update. The Pixels miss out on the most exciting stuff, mostly because they have it already, gaining just the “powered by Android” logo on the boot splash screen and the March 5 security patch." }, { "docid": "D92858#0", "title": "http://www.lovemyfire.com/kindle-fire-faq.html\nKindle Fire FAQ", "text": "\"Kindle Fire FAQGot questions about your Kindle Fire?

The Basis watch has always been a bit unique in the market in that it has an optical HR sensor on the backside of the watch that monitors and records a slew of body metrics 24×7. The challenge though with the first generation B1 is that it lacked the ability to accurately track heart rate during exercise, such as running. This made it much less appealing to athletes. I’ve had the unit for about a week now and have been wearing it 24×7 (except when charging), and at this point I’ve got a pretty good grasp of how it works across everything from running and cycling to just regular walking and sleeping. While I typically use a unit a bit longer before writing up a review, I’ve heard that many of you are looking for my thoughts sooner rather than later. And ultimately, while I could wait for future firmware updates – the product is fully released to the wild, so it’s fair game as far as I’m concerned. I’m also already very familiar with the core aspects of how the Basis platform works from years of their other device, so it’s really the new features in the Basis Peak that are the differentiators.

The app icon looks A LOT like the \"\"Quick Connect\"\" app which I think allows you to cast media to supported devices (like other Samsung televisions, etc). The only semi-useful results I've found have been that the Beacon Manager app (com.samsung.android.beaconmanager - which is installed as a system app and apparently gets updated by the Galaxy App Store) was on the list of \"\"what we think is bloatware so disable it\"\" list. Of course, there are HUNDREDS of other pages that basically just plagiarize this one page and countless threads on this forum where the same list is just copypasta'd with no explanation at all. So, I turn to you my faithful Note 5 peers who probably know more about these things than I do.....does anyone have an EFFING clue as to what the hell this thing does?

The link you provided is actually about an actual physical beacon retailers can place in their brick & mortar stores....think a mall or a department store....so that when your device gets close to it (proximity), it can push a message directly to the consumer's phone like coupons, or deals nearby, etc. The beauty in that system is that it can bypass the need for the user to have their GPS/location sharing turned on AND bypasses the need for the user to have a specific app installed on their phone to receive these notifications.

Just the word “Page” can have many meanings. SPA Misconceptions Chances are you have heard the term SPA tossed around at the office. SPA’s are on the rise but there are a lot of misconceptions about what SPA means. SPA stands for Single Page Applications … but are they truly a Single Page App? I’ve found that one of the biggest hurdles for folks understanding SPA is the term itself. The name can often imply that you are building a single page, with a single set of functionality, such as a search screen or a To-Do list app. Now let’s play out a common scenario where you are a developer and you are making your case for the architecture of your new project to your manager, Bob. You ask for Bob’s permission to build the next mission critical app on a Single Page App strategy. Bob knows the user will see dozens of pages, so Bob might suspect you and the development team that you might be looking for an excuse to use the “latest and greatest” and that it won’t work for multiple pages. “" }, { "docid": "D2356970#0", "title": "https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-factory-reset-galaxy-note-4\nHow to factory reset the Galaxy Note 4 for better performance", "text": "\"The Galaxy Note 4 is a beast, plain and simple.

The first thing to know is that the Health app doesn't track information by itself, at least not yet. It's an aggregator, meaning it pulls information from your other health apps, and displays it all for you in a single dashboard. So, for Apple's Health app to be useful, you'll need other health apps. Experts say that aggregation apps like Apple's Health can offer users a new experience while allowing them to keep the apps they've become accustomed to using. With the Health app, Apple is saying \"\"you don't have to abandon [your old apps], but here's a new experience that you can digest your old data in,\"\" said Dan Ledger, principal at consulting firm Endeavour Partners. Although this aggregation may not be difficult for people who use just two or three apps separately, \"\"there may be opportunities for taking that data, combining it and visualizing it in ways that these stand-alone apps can't do,\"\" Ledger said. Right now, there is a limited selection of apps that work with Apple Health. For example, if you track your activity with a fitness tracker such as a Fitbit, a Withings Pulse or a Basis watch, you're out of luck, because the apps for these devices don't integrate with Apple Health yet." } ]

I used Lovenox or Innohep or Arixtra or FSH for many months while trying to conceive both of my daughters and throughout both of my pregnancies – so I consider myself a “pro”! Here are some tips that I would like to share with you. Never take a hot shower or bath immediately before or after your injection. The warm water dilates abdominal blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the injection site and decreasing the ability of the blood to clot. The medication should be injected subcutaneously into the fat on the abdomen. The injection should not go into muscle tissue. Finding just the right spot to inject is vital. Once a handful of good spots are found, these areas should be remembered and “reused” in future injections. After a while, I discovered and remembered areas on my abdomen that hurt less and bleed less following an injection." }, { "docid": "D1243155#0", "title": "https://www.cliffsnotes.com/cliffsnotes/subjects/literature/whats-the-difference-between-parody-and-satire\nWhat's the difference between parody and satire?", "text": "\"What's the difference between parody and satire?

Flag Can you take Ibuprofen while pregnant? Answer by Kmomto7 Confidence votes 228Ibuprofen during Pregnancy One thing that almost all doctors agree on: do NOT take ibuprofen in the third trimester of your pregnancy, particularly after about 32 weeks. Ibuprofen can cause the ductus arteriosis to close prematurely. The DA is vital to fetal circulation and should close in the first 24 hours after birth. Ibuprofen is used to help close it when it stays open past 24 hours (PDA). Before 32 weeks, things are a bit more controversial. A lot of doctors would probably advise against taking ibuprofen early in pregnancy (during the first 8 weeks or so), simply because we know that that that is when your baby's organs are being formed and ibuprofen has never been scientifically proven to be safe at that time.

The property is near U. S. Route 15/James Monroe Highway, formerly known as the Carolina Road, an important Colonial trading path that extended from Maryland to North Carolina. Selma Plantation stands in the background as a new housing development goes up. The original estate at Selma was established in 1815 by Armistead Thomson Mason, nephew of George Mason. A 19 th century house stood at Selma until it burned in the 1890s. The present Colonial Revival mansion was built in 1902 by Elijah White. The 1902 house is Loudoun’s earliest example of Colonial Revival architecture. Over the years, Selma has changed hands multiple times and is currently owned by Historic Selma Estates. It does not appear that Selma is currently for sale. Selma is part of the Catoctin Rural Historic District, a 25,000-acre area in northern Loudoun County that contains a mixture of historic churches, schoolhouses, bridges, small farms, and large estates." }, { "docid": "D2620251#0", "title": "http://www.smashinglists.com/top-10-best-preserved-plantation-homes/\nTop 10 Best Preserved Plantation Homes", "text": "Top 10 Best Preserved Plantation Homes Posted by Smashing Lists 1 Comment If you’re looking for somewhere to visit around America this summer, it might be worth a trip to the Deep South. It’s a place with a difficult history of segregation and violence but it’s also full of culture with New Orleans being the birthplace of jazz, and a veritable melting pot of different influences. And there are also several beautiful plantation homes to visit, each one in a unique yet recognizable style. No longer a symbol of oppression, these homes are often beautifully preserved and open to the public, so that you can admire the distinctly American architecture. We’ve got some top recommendations in our Top 10 Best Preserved Plantation Homes.10. Gaineswood, ALThis National Historic Landmark dates from 1861 and is a great example of the Greek Revival style of architecture, with its mix of different types of columns and contrasting colored stones. It is located in the city of Demopolis and is named after George Strother Gaines, who purchased the land in the 1820s and built a cabin there. But it would be the next owner – Gen. Nathan Bryan Whitfield – who would expand the land, start the cotton plantation and build the house where the cabin used to stand. It took years to perfect, but by 1861 the house was complete, along with artificial lake and gazebo. It was passed to the Alabama Historical Commission in 1971, and opened to the public 4 years later and it now has around 3,000 visitors a year." }, { "docid": "D3411139#0", "title": "https://www.mcgill.ca/students/transfercredit/prospective/cegep/\nCEGEP courses", "text": "CEGEP courses On this page: About CEGEP transfer credit \| Courses that qualify \| Course list About CEGEP transfer credit CEGEP students may receive up to 30 credits of advanced standing for CEGEP courses, subject to your faculty and program rules.

Over a dozen years, they forged a showcase of modern architecture with a decidedly subtropical twist on the town’s East Island — a cohesive collection of dozens of breezy duplexes, garden apartments and bigger co-op buildings regarded today as one of the most significant surviving troves of Miami Modern, or Mi Mo, design. It may also be the most imperiled. Because of a surge of upscale condo development and a town leadership that preservationists contend is indifferent, if not hostile, to the idea of saving any of it, Bay Harbor’s East Island has landed on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Preservationists and Mi Mo acolytes say they hope that inclusion on the widely publicized list, which Trust officials say has helped salvage scores of important sites and buildings, will prompt town officials to recognize the historic, cultural and economic value of the East Island’s Mi Mo abundance. Up to now, they say, the town council has consistently spurned pleas to safeguard some of the island’s most important buildings — designs by such big names as Morris Lapidus, Igor Polevitzky, Charles Mc Kirahan and Robert Swartburg — or to ensure that new development on the island is compatible with the scale and feel of its architectural heritage. Instead, they say, the town has been quick to approve demolitions and new lot-filling condo and townhouse projects that overwhelm the island’s modestly scaled historic buildings and clash architecturally with them. The town has in recent months approved some 25 new condo projects, more than half of which would replace architecturally significant buildings, Miami-Dade County preservation officials say. “They have basically ignored us,” said Teri D’Amico, an interior designer and longtime East Island resident who co-coined the Mi Mo label, now widely accepted to describe a uniquely local version of mid-20th century architecture. “ We have no planning or vision." }, { "docid": "D1939974#0", "title": "http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/markets/stocks/summary/?q=XEG-T\n", "text": "Stocks Data Update Unchecking box will stop auto data updates Ishares SP TSX Capped Energy Index ETF ( TSX: XEG-T)TSX Real-Time Last Sale12CADToday's Change+0.21 +1.78%Volume1969575Price Quote as of04/11/18Today's Trading Day Low11.79Day High12.08Open: 11.79Previous Close 11.7952-Week High/Low 13.05 10.34Volume 1,969,575Average Volume 1,508,099Volatility (14d) 31.47%Trailing Annual Dividend & Yield0.20 1.70%AUM (Mln) 940 M5-Day Change +0.70 +6.19%1D 5D 1M 3M 6M 1Y 3Y 5YView Chart Latest Investors bail on landlocked Canadian oil as pipeline woes deepen February 21TOP LINKS‘Canada’s stock market is the worst in the world’Scott Barlow February 21These 19 dogs of 2017 could be this year's big winners January 24ADVISOR CONTEXTYear-end tax strategies can benefit ETF owners November 30ADVISOR CONTEXTSix ways investors can play a recovering energy sector October 31 Updated Why this $100-million fund manager is buying RBC and Suncor while selling Black Berry and Wal-Mart July 2Fundamentals See More Fund Family Black Rock Assets Under Management (Mln) 940 MShares Outstanding, K 78Trailing Annual Dividend & Yield0.20 1.70%36-Month Beta 1.00Volatility (14 day) 31.47%Stock Reports +Download a comprehensive report detailing quantitative analytics of this equity.

Introduction The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution has become the most embarrassing provision of the Bill of Rights. Although crime, violence, and gun control have been among the hottest topics of political controversy over the past two decades, civil libertarians have generally shown much less enthusiasm about the Second Amendment than about other provisions of the Bill of Rights. The federal courts have also been manifestly uncomfortable with the Second Amendment and, in recent times, have declined every opportunity to give it the same thorough consideration that is automatically given to by the other specific guarantees of the first eight amendments. The lower courts generally have either adopted an interpretation that is implausible on its face, inconsistent with Supreme Court precedent, and unsupported by historical evidence about the intention of the Framers, or adhered to ancient precedents that treated the Bill of Rights as being inapplicable to the states." }, { "docid": "D267148#0", "title": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQxZloGOmpY\nCLG vs Cloud9 CSGO Lounge Prediction 20/01/2015", "text": "CLG vs Cloud9 CSGO Lounge Prediction 20/01/2015Bets Predicts for CS: GOSubscribe 58Add to Share More172 views00Published on Jan 19, 2015PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION!!!

In the 17th century, this term was used for any warship built for speed and maneuverability, the description often used being \"\"frigate-built\"\". These could be warships carrying their principal batteries of carriage-mounted guns on a single deck or on two decks (with further smaller carriage-mounted guns usually carried on the forecastle and quarterdeck of the vessel). The term was generally used for ships too small to stand in the line of battle, although early line-of-battle ships were frequently referred to as frigates when they were built for speed. In the 18th century, the term referred to ships that were usually as long as a ship of the line and were square-rigged on all three masts ( full-rigged ), but were faster and with lighter armament, used for patrolling and escort. In the definition adopted by the British Admiralty, they were rated ships of at least 28 guns, carrying their principal armaments upon a single continuous deck — the upper deck — while ships of the line possessed two or more continuous decks bearing batteries of guns. In the late 19th century (beginning about 1858 with the construction of prototypes by the British and French navies), the armoured frigate was a type of ironclad warship that for a time was the most powerful type of vessel afloat." }, { "docid": "D1410362#0", "title": "http://lol.gamepedia.com/Bjergsen\nBjergsen", "text": "\"Bjergsennavigation search [ hide]v · d · e Team Solo Mid Roster Team Solo Mid Hauntzer Mike Yeung Bjergsen Zven Mithy The Odd One Reginald [ show]Other Teams In Organization (Click [Show] to the Right)Overview Statistics Match History Bjergsen Background Information Name: Søren Bjerg Country of Birth: Denmark Birthday: February 21, 1996 (age 22)Sponsor: Red Bull Residency: North America Previous Residencies: Europe Europe Competitive Team: Team Solo Mid Role: Mid Favorite champions: Soloqueue IDs: Rust, Blue Buff Taker, Bjerg, l am Bjerg, mid lane banter, Magikeren, TSM 비역슨미드 (KR), TSM 3, Forskruet Skaebne, qldurtms, TSMMID비역슨 (KR), dessert dog, MSI Bjergsen (BR)Social Media and Links Team History??? ???? - ??? ????

A critical issue facing decision makers and conservation professionals is accommodating change to heritage places and adding new layers to the historic urban environment in ways that recognize, interpret, and sustain their heritage values. Over the last decade, a vigorous debate has ensued regarding the appropriateness of contemporary architectural insertions into historic urban areas. This debate has polarized sectors of the architectural community, pitting conservationists against planners and developers. It has positioned conservationists as antidevelopment and antiprogress, responsible for stifling the creativity of a new generation of architects and their right to contemporary architectural expression. Change, however, is inevitable. Buildings, streetscapes, and urban areas evolve and change according to the needs of their inhabitants. Therefore, it is important to determine the role of contemporary architecture in contributing to this change in ways that conserve and celebrate the special character and quality of the historic environment that communities have recognized as important and wish to conserve for future generations." }, { "docid": "D1687019#0", "title": "http://old.post-gazette.com/magazine/20010527frickfightkmag2.asp\n.", "text": "\"A Frick family feud Two sisters stand against their relatives to keep the Frick archives in Pittsburgh Sunday, May 27, 2001By Marylynne Pitz, Post-Gazette Staff Writer Correction/Clarification: (Published May 27, 2001) In a story printed earlier for today's editions, the date of death for Martha Frick, one of four children born to Henry Clay Frick and his wife, Adelaide Frick, was incorrect. Martha Frick died in 1891. ( Published June 17, 2001) In a May 27 story on the Helen Clay Frick Foundation, we noted that J. Fife Symington, former governor of Arizona, refused a request to resign from the organization's board after being convicted on six counts of fraud. What we failed to note was that Mr. Symington successfully appealed his conviction, which was overturned by a 2-1 vote of the 9th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 1999. To her 15 grandnieces and nephews, Helen Clay Frick was a delightful but demanding maternal figure who served Earl Grey tea in the music room of her Point Breeze estate every afternoon and took them on memorable art tours of Europe's great museums. Although she was a formal Victorian woman who shunned publicity, the diminutive heiress never shrank from a fight, especially to defend the image of her father, Henry Clay Frick, the vilified tycoon whose hard-nosed tactics helped provoke the Homestead steel strike of 1892. At Clayton, the house that was the home of their \"\"Grauntie,\"\" Helen Clay Frick, sisters Arabella Dane, left, and Martha Frick Symington Sanger recall cherished childhood memories and explain their fight to keep the Frick family archives in Pittsburgh. \"\" These archives are the soul of a family,\"\" Dane says. \"\" Helen Clay Frick was the keeper of the family memory.

Or which mountain inspired the Paramount logo? Or who was the Columbia Torch Lady? Let's find out:1. Dream Works SKG: Boy on the Moon In 1994, director Steven Spielberg, Disney studio chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, and record producer David Geffen (yes, they make the initial SKG on the bottom of the logo) got together to found a new studio called Dream Works. Spielberg wanted the logo for Dream Works to be reminiscent of Hollywood's golden age. The logo was to be a computer generated image of a man on the moon, fishing, but Visual Effects Supervisor Dennis Muren of Industrial Light and Magic, who has worked on many of Spielberg's films, suggested that a hand-painted logo might look better. Muren asked his friend, artist Robert Hunt to paint it. Hunt also sent along an alternative version of the logo, which included a young boy on a crescent moon, fishing. Spielberg liked this version better, and the rest is history." }, { "docid": "D185826#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_oldest_buildings_in_the_world\nList of oldest buildings", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from List of the oldest buildings in the world)navigation search This article lists the oldest free-standing buildings constructed in the world, including on each of the continents and within each country. \"\" Building\"\" is defined as any human-made structure used or interface for supporting or sheltering any use or continuous occupancy.

634569	what does clickbait mean	[ { "docid": "D288392#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickbait\nClickbait", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Clickbait is a pejorative term for web content whose main goal is to entice users to click on a link to go to a certain webpage or video. Clickbait headlines typically aim to exploit the \"\"curiosity gap\"\", providing just enough information to make readers curious, but not enough to satisfy their curiosity without clicking through to the linked content. [ 1] [2] [3]From a historical perspective, the techniques employed by clickbait authors can be considered derivative of yellow journalism, which presented little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead used eye-catching headlines that included exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. [ 4] [5] For sites that thrive on thousands of click-throughs to content, many authors see the use of clickbait as a means to tap into human psyche by crafting these eye-catching headlines. [ 6]Backlash [ edit]By 2014, the ubiquity of clickbait on the web had begun to lead to a backlash against its use. [ 3] [7] Satirical newspaper The Onion launched a new website, Click Hole, that parodied clickbait websites such as Upworthy and Buzz Feed, [8] and in August 2014, Facebook announced that it was taking technical measures to reduce the impact of clickbait on its social network, [9] [10] [11] using, among other cues, the time spent by the user on visiting the linked page as a way of distinguishing clickbait from other types of content. [ 12] Ad blockers and a general fall in advertising clicks also affected the clickbait model, as websites moved towards sponsored advertising and native advertising where the content of the article was more important than the click-rate. [ 13]Clickbait has also been used to political ends, and in this respect has been blamed for the rise of post-truth politics. Katherine Viner, editor-in-chief at The Guardian wrote that \"\"chasing down cheap clicks at the expense of accuracy and veracity\"\" undermined the value of journalism and truth. [ 14] Emotional subjects with stark headlines are widely shared and clicked, which resulted in what Slate described as an \"\"aggregation of outrage\"\" and a proliferation of websites across the political spectrum – including Breitbart News, Huffington Post, Salon, Townhall and the Gawker Media blogs – which profited by producing shareable short-form pieces offering simple moral judgements on political and cultural issues.

It’s time to eat some fresh tomatoes and then go to bed. But first, I want to tell you a story. As regular readers know, I went to Holland to visit my old and dear friend M., who is fighting a tough, tough battle against cancer, which is in her liver, her brain, and her bones. I visted M. for a couple of days after I arrived, and then headed to the south of the country with her sister, to visit other friends. M. is in very good spirits, but has to take care with her energy. Houseguests can be a drain, so we worked out in advance which days we would see each other. I would double back to Amsterdam towards the end of my trip, stay in an apartment in the city she secured for me, and spend a long morning with her alone. The last stop I made before heading back to Amsterdam was to toddle down to Brussels to visit my Louisiana-born friend K. and her husband. Over dinner at K.’s place, we talked about folk superstitions." }, { "docid": "D837747#0", "title": "https://www.bustle.com/articles/195434-what-does-cuck-mean-the-alt-right-uses-this-offensive-term-often\n\"What Does \"\"Cuck\"\" Mean?

Yet those views are hemlock to the GOP foreign policy elite and the liberal Democratic interventionists of the Acela Corridor. Trump promised an “America First” foreign policy rooted in the national interest, not in nostalgia. The neocons insist that every Cold War and post-Cold War commitment be maintained, in perpetuity. On Sunday’s “60 Minutes,” Trump said: “You know, we’ve been fighting this war for 15 years. … We’ve spent $6 trillion in the Middle East, $6 trillion — we could have rebuilt our country twice. And you look at our roads and our bridges and our tunnels … and our airports are … obsolete. ”Yet the War Party has not had enough of war, not nearly.

So for example, if you call your video 'I HAD A HEART ATTACK' and put a picture of an ambulance in the thumbnail, but then in the video you reveal that you didn't have a heart attack at all, you could be accused of clickbaiting. Source Clickbait and You Tube Clickbait on You Tube has traditionally revolved around the age-old message that 'sex sells'. Since the dawn of the tubes, video makers have been putting gratuitous cleavage in their thumbnails and using completely unrelaistcially sexual video titles to try (and absolutely succeed) to lure in curious pervs. We all know that You Tube has a strict policy against nudity (at least outside of music videos), so it's baffling that people are always tricked by this, but I guess we human beings are pretty weak. I'd post a picture example here but this is a wholesome family website, so instead here's a picture of a delightful puppy: N'awwwwwww Lately a more evolved form of clickbait has taken hold. Established creators have begun to use clickbait to boost their content - or to hide the true nature of the video. As an example, we have recently discussed how You Tubers have been getting in hot water for making announcement videos but framing them so that they look like coming out videos. More broad clickbait has been an issue for a while though. One of the most irritating examples probably being the 'my first time' series: What do all these videos have in common?" }, { "docid": "D2118934#0", "title": "https://tskheragain.com/2017/02/26/is-xiaxue-transphobic-what-does-it-even-mean-to-be-transphobic/\nIs Xiaxue Transphobic?

Over the last month, I have heard a lot of people talking about a possible Guardians of the Galaxy overlay for the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Supposedly, Disney is looking to opt out of the licensing fees paid for the use of the Twilight Zone franchise in this ride at Disney Parks around the globe, as odd of an overlay as Guardians might sound like for it. Sounds pretty far fetched, right? Well, it isn’t. Actually, it’s all true according to sources. Before you get too upset, from everything I have heard at this point, this only applies to Disney California Adventure. There are no plans anytime soon to overlay or replace the Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, especially with Disney and Sony working together on a feature film based on the attraction that also ties into the Twilight Zone franchise.

Saddam is Hitler, the French and Germans the appeasers, Bush is Churchill. Fox News’ Brit Hume has dubbed French Foreign Minister De Villepin a Vichyite. President Bush, too, sees close comparisons, warning that if the UN does not show more “backbone,” it risks going the way of the League of Nations, ending up as an international “debating society. ”But what really happened to the League? Why did it fail? Created at the Paris Peace Conference, the League’s Covenant was embedded in the text of the Versailles Treaty at the insistence of its great patron Woodrow Wilson. But when the U. S. Senate proposed reservations to the Covenant, to protect U. S. sovereignty and freedom of action, the president rejected them all. The Senate then rejected the treaty, and the United States never joined the League. Its first crisis came in 1931." }, { "docid": "D875824#0", "title": "http://wdwnt.com/blog/2016/08/rumor-the-great-mickey-ride-replacing-movie-ride-at-disneys-hollywood-studios/\nRUMOR: The Great Mickey Ride Replacing Movie Ride at Disneyâs Hollywood Studios?", "text": "RUMOR: The Great Mickey Ride Replacing Movie Ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios?

It has been a time for crazy rumors the last few months, and it seems there isn’t an end in sight under the Bob Chapek regime. The latest indicates that once the 3 year sponsorship deal between Turner Classic Movies and Disney is up, the Great Movie Ride would be replaced with something called “The Great Mickey Ride”. While details are scarce at this point, rumors indicate the ride would be trackless and is also being developed to go somewhere at the Disneyland Resort simultaneously. The latest trend in the parks seems to be Disney removing any connections to franchises that Disney does not own ( Twilight Zone for example ), and the Great Movie Ride is packed with a lot of films that Disney has absolutely no ownership over. The line of thinking here would be to feature the first ride ever devoted to Mickey Mouse (clearly the property of the Walt Disney Company), something that has been attempted many times over the last 60 years but never built in any Disney theme park. If plans remained unchanged and Disney pulls the trigger on this project, the Great Movie Ride would close just after the opening of the Star Wars-themed land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. However, keep in mind that this project is very blue sky at this point and may never see the light of day, but the Great Movie Ride’s removal is still a likely target for the company at this time. I don’t know about you, but there are times when planning a Disney vacation can be overwhelming!" } ]
634574	what does cliffhanger mean	[ { "docid": "D280454#0", "title": "https://literarydevices.net/cliffhanger/\nCliffhanger", "text": "Cliffhanger Cliffhanger Definition A cliffhanger is a type of narrative or a plot device in which the end is curiously abrupt, so that the main characters are left in a difficult situation, without offering any resolution of conflicts. As a result of a sudden end, suspense is created at the very end of the novel, leaving the readers in such a state that they could not help but to ask, “What will happen next?” This type of end is common to serially-published novels, which end at a dramatic or suspenseful moment. The cliffhanger plot device ensures readers will buy the next installment, in order to read and find out what happens. Cliffhanger Examples in Everyday Life Cliffhanger examples in television series are abundant. Episodes of TV series end during moments of high drama in order to ensure the following of viewers in the next episode. One famous example is the TV series Lost, which ended almost every episode with a cliffhanger. Commercial breaks compel writers to include a cliffhangers in the plot before each break to maintain suspense, and ensure viewership following the break. Examples of Cliffhanger in Literature Example #1: One Thousand and One Nights (By Muhsin Mahdi)Cliffhanger has its roots in ancient oriental literature. One example is in the collection of stories known as One Thousand and One Nights, in which the king Shehreyar orders his queen Scheherzade to be hanged." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2737182#0", "title": "http://www.nurserytrees.com/CliffHangers.htm\n.", "text": "\"Home \"\"Instant Privacy\"\" Trees Ornamental & Landscape Trees Photo Gallery Care of Your Trees Tree Removal & Transplanting Delivery & Planting Landscape Supplies Glossary About Us/Contact Us Directions & Hours Studies: Trees Add Value to Property Serving Washington State Since 1995Our \"\"Cliffhanger\"\" Program Custom Re-vegetation--To help prevent erosion and improve stability --Re-Vegetating a bluff on Whidbey Island To view a Photo Gallery of this project from start to finish, click here.

Unlike Arrested Development, there isn't any good word for a Season 5 to appear on Netflix, but this could change. This is what is known about rumors of Longmire Season 5 release date, as well as reviews of Season 4. According to Seriable, Ted Sarandos cited the show as having a \"\"very loyal, strong base\"\", for the pick-up [of Season 5] and figures Netflix will be able to \"\"uniquely and efficiently aggregate\"\" an audience or the series, stressing that \"\"it just didn't work for [A&E] but will work great for Netflix.

And while fans still have the finale to look forward to (or dread, depending upon what happens to poor Edwards), many are already starting to wonder one very important question: When does Grey's Anatomy return for Season 14? That's right, Season 13 may not even be over with yet, but that doesn't mean we can't start to look forward to the upcoming season. I'm sure, by now, many of you are probably familiar with the general routine your favorite shows like Grey's go through. Normally, they premiere in September and wrap up in May — and I have a feeling Season 14 will be no different. While it's true that no official premiere dates have been announced for the fall lineup, ABC has unveiled the general schedule for the fall season, confirming that Grey's will once again dominate the Thursday night 8 p.m. timeslot with Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder following close behind in its wake. After all, it wouldn't be Thursday night without a ton of Shonda Rhimes content, right?

Like fellow ABC bubble drama Castle, which too got a shocking cancellation, I hear Nashville filmed two endings of its Season 4 finale — a cliffhanger one and a happily-ever-after one in case of a cancellation. While Castl e used the alternative ending that gave fans closure, Nashville went for the cliffhanger option in its final episode on ABC. The move by Nashville producer Lionsgate TV to forego the nicely wrapped-up series finale ending it had in the can for a cliffhanger is a testament to the level of confidence Lionsgate has that it would find another home for the show. The studio sprang into action the moment ABC’s surprising decision to cancel Nashville came on May 12. I hear the country music drama was pitched to streaming services and traditional networks, including Hulu, Lifetime, CMT and possibly Bravo/E!, and I hear there is a possible dual play on a streaming platform and a traditional network. Hulu has been considered a likely home because it already carries Nashville ‘s previous seasons. Then there are the basic cable and premium networks that Lionsgate is a co-owner in, Pop and EPIX.

Having already been re-educated to talk about 'climate change' rather than 'global warming', we are now increasingly hearing the term 'global climate disruption'. In practice, 'climate change' is likely to remain the term in general use, but it is interesting to consider the motivation for these changes. Since many scientists in the 1970s had been concerned at the prospect of global cooling (and rightly so, as the consequences of a transition to another Ice Age would be pretty serious), it was logical to talk instead of global warming as average temperatures began to creep up following a sudden jump in the mid-70s. The concept of changes wrought by an overall warmer climate was a simple one to grasp. However, what became clear as climate scientists built their models and looked in more detail at what a warming world might mean was that there would be differences in the regional patterns of change and that temperatures would not simply be consistently higher. Although there was a consensus building in the scientific establishment that increasing carbon dioxide concentration would be the major driver of higher average temperatures, it was also clear that the global climate is highly complex and also subject to other influences. Global warming became too black and white a concept to fit with the vagaries of weather systems and quickly grew to be the butt of jokes when the weather was unseasonably cold (ironically, there were early snowfalls on the day that the UK Climate Change Act was passed). ' Climate change' then became the preferred term, encompassing pretty much anything which might be considered 'unnatural'.

( August 2017)Climate resilience can be generally defined as the capacity for a socio-ecological system to: (1) absorb stresses and maintain function in the face of external stresses imposed upon it by climate change and (2) adapt, reorganize, and evolve into more desirable configurations that improve the sustainability of the system, leaving it better prepared for future climate change impacts. [ 1] [2]With the rising awareness of climate change impacts by both national and international bodies, building climate resilience has become a major goal for these institutions. The key focus of climate resilience efforts is to address the vulnerability that communities, states, and countries currently have with regards to the environmental consequences of climate change. Currently, climate resilience efforts encompass social, economic, technological, and political strategies that are being implemented at all scales of society. From local community action to global treaties, addressing climate resilience is becoming a priority, although it could be argued that a significant amount of the theory has yet to be translated into practice. Despite this, there is a robust and ever-growing movement fueled by local and national bodies alike geared towards building and improving climate resilience.

For example, changes in precipitation patterns, increased prevalence of drought s, heat waves, and other extreme weather, etc. These projection s of future global precipitation changes from the 2007 IPCCreport are an example of climate change: Thus while the physical phenomena are causally related, they are not the same thing.

These aspects can be explained through the questions: Does the issue actually exist, and if so, what are the facts of it? What is the meaning or nature of the issue? What is the quality of the issue? Was it just or unjust? What is the policy or action that should take place because of the issue? These questions are designed to build on one another.

That is, it’s based on scientists putting their scientific reputations on the line formally. This conclusion leaves out the researchers whose papers neither asserted nor denied AGW. Most likely because they take AGW as a given.

Pepys was no stranger to nature and mankind colluding to produce drama, indeed his diary seems peppered with calamities. The year before London went up in smoke Pepys chronicled the Great Plague of 1665. On 20 May of 1663 the prolific diarist noted a combination of rain, wind and tide leaving important portions of the city navigable only by boat:“Then to Westminster, where by reason of rain and an easterly wind, the water was so high that there was boats rowed in King Street and all our yard was drowned, that one could not go to my house, so as no man has seen the like almost, most houses full of water. ”Without the River Thames there would be no London but like many great cities living with a river the relationship of the two can as tempestuous as it is intimate. This is London so unsurprisingly the “little ale-house” from which Pepys viewed London's incineration is still in business today, operating as “The Anchor.” One may purchase a pint of “London Pride” ale in The Anchor, saunter out to the Embankment and not 75 feet from the door get a direct view and appreciation of London's fruitful but perilous marriage with the River Thames and the estuary and ocean it feeds. Depending on time, tide and winds, looking over the embankment directly in front of The Anchor water is visible directly below at a vertical distance ranging from perhaps 2 to 10 meters. Across the river, the seat of the United Kingdom government and a substantial fraction of the world's economic brain is situated in similar proximity to copious amounts of water, benign or destructive depending on whether the flow remains inside or outside of the Embankment. The “Embankment” creeping into this narrative needs explanation." }, { "docid": "D2388976#0", "title": "http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/earth/climate-change-acceptance/\nWhy Doesnât Everyone Believe Humans Are Causing Climate Change?", "text": "Why Doesn’t Everyone Believe Humans Are Causing Climate Change? By Brad Balukjian on Wed, 19 Nov 2014Read Later Share Tweet Last week during his tour of Asia, President Barack Obama struck a new global warming deal with China. It was a landmark agreement that many expect could break the logjam that has kept the world’s two largest emitters largely on the sidelines of talks to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Both countries agreed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, with the U. S. ramping up reductions starting in 2020 and China beginning cuts in 2030. Yet back home, President Obama still faces an electorate that doesn’t believe climate change is caused by humans. Only 40% of Americans attribute global warming to human activity, according to a recent Pew Research Center poll. This, despite decades of scientific evidence and the fact that Americans generally trust climate scientists. Despite decades of evidence, most Americans don't believe that humans are causing climate change. That apparent cognitive dissonance has vexed two scientists in particular: Michael Ranney, a professor of education at the University of California, Berkeley, and Dan Kahan, a professor of law at Yale University.

The COP21 conference brought every country to the table, they all accepted the science of climate change, and they agreed to work together to do something about it. But some proved more ambitious than others, and the rich countries didn’t come up with enough money to get the best deal possible. The bottom line is that the agreement gets us far closer to containing climate change than we were two weeks ago, but still far short of where we need to go. In fact, we won’t even know for years what it will accomplish. How much the agreement reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and through that reduces warming, will depend on whether countries meet their targets for curbing emissions and deploying renewable energy and whether they ramp up their ambition in the years ahead. In terms of climate justice, there is even less to cheer. Rich countries like the U. S., Canada, and the European Union upped their pledges for climate finance slightly, but nowhere near enough to compensate for the hugely outsized share of the global carbon budget they have devoured. Still, the Paris Agreement builds the architecture for greater progress in the next decade.

[ 2]Starting with Aristotle ( Meteorology 2.5,362a32), the Earth was divided into five zones, assuming two frigid climes (the arctic and antarctic) around the poles, an uninhabitable torrid clime near the equator, and two temperate climes between the frigid and the torrid ones. [ 3] Different lists of climata were in use in Hellenistic and Roman time. Claudius Ptolemy was the first ancient scientist known to have devised the so-called system of seven climes (Almagest 2.12) which, due to his authority, became one of the canonical elements of late antique, medieval European and Arab geography. In Medieval Europe, the climes for 15 and 18 hours were used to calculate the changing length of daylight through the year.

Indeed, it’s doubtful that a single swallow would even be able to bare the weight of a whole coconut on its own, African or European. For this reason African swallows aspire to carry them on a line between a pair of them. It’s in this way that the otherwise sedentary coconut is able to migrate to warmer climes in the winter, where they feed on insect larvae, discarded shoe laces and the occasional pheasant. In return for this the coconut provides the swallow with a potent nectar called “Fingle’s tears” that makes the swallow water-resistant in the event that it unwittingly careens into a milking pail, breakfast cereal, or something of the sort.664 Views · View Upvoters Related Questions What is the Unladen Swallow?

If you are able to shift the full 10k Wh every day, that means you'd save $383 per year. Assuming your Powerwall lasts 10 years (that's the warranty period), costs $3500, and can be financed at effectively 4% (which is reasonably if the alternative is accelerating payments on a 4% mortgage), you end up spending $425 a year on it. So it's not cost-effective even under rather favorable assumptions. At this point, we haven't even paid for installation yet, nor taken into account the 8% round-trip loss, and we haven't paid for the inverter (which is not included because it's assumed you already have one as part of your solar system). But at the same time it's amazing how close it does come. And it's possible that some of the assumptions are actually biased the other way; maybe the thing lasts longer than 10 years (apparently Tesla offers an optional warranty extension to 20 years), and maybe you should count on PG&E rates going up further.

Most truck operators who've bought engines whose exhausts are equipped with selective catalytic reduction aftertreatment systems say that fuel economy is at least as good as what manufacturers claim and in some cases is better. What about the diesel exhaust fluid that's needed for this process? Spraying DEF into the exhaust to chemically neutralize oxides of nitrogen, or NOx, is the major action of the SCR used by almost all diesel builders. Like fuel, DEF is consumed in everyday running and should be accounted for in any economy reports or claims. Navistar International, the one engine maker that does not use SCR, coined the term \"\"fluid economy\"\" to mean the total of DEF and fuel consumed in a given number of miles traveled. If DEF is figured in, Navistar executives claim, their fuel-only engines come out as good or better than competitors'. So, how much DEF is being used? For over-the-road operations, manufacturers employing SCR predict DEF \"\"dosing rates\"\" of 2 to 3 percent. That means 2 to 3 gallons are consumed for every 100 gallons of diesel fuel, and 102-103 gallons of fluid should be factored into a mile-per-gallon calculation." }, { "docid": "D1057745#0", "title": "http://legal-explanations.com/definitions/subrogee.htm\nSubrogee", "text": "Legal-Explanations.com Home > Legal Definitions Subrogee (n) Subrogee is the person or legal entity who assumes the legal right or clime by settling the clime of the third parties.

Sign up now What does the term \"\"clinical depression\"\" mean? Answers from Daniel K. Hall-Flavin, M. D. Depression ranges in seriousness from mild, temporary episodes of sadness to severe, persistent depression. Clinical depression is the more-severe form of depression, also known as major depression or major depressive disorder. It isn't the same as depression caused by a loss, such as the death of a loved one, or a medical condition, such as a thyroid disorder. To diagnose clinical depression, many doctors use the symptom criteria for major depressive disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association. Signs and symptoms of clinical depression may include: Feelings of sadness, tearfulness, emptiness or hopelessness Angry outbursts, irritability or frustration, even over small matters Loss of interest or pleasure in most or all normal activities, such as sex, hobbies or sports Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or sleeping too much Tiredness and lack of energy, so even small tasks take extra effort Reduced appetite and weight loss or increased cravings for food and weight gain Anxiety, agitation or restlessness Slowed thinking, speaking or body movements Feelings of worthlessness or guilt, fixating on past failures or self-blame Trouble thinking, concentrating, making decisions and remembering things Frequent or recurrent thoughts of death, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts or suicide Unexplained physical problems, such as back pain or headaches Symptoms are usually severe enough to cause noticeable problems in relationships with others or in day-to-day activities, such as work, school or social activities.

The so-called depressive pseudodementia, also known as depression-related cognitive impairment, dementia syndrome of depression, depressive dementia, is controversial in its origin, its alleged reversibility and its epidemiology. It is well known that cognitive disturbances, especially regarding attention, memory and executive functions can be present in depressed patients, completely or partially reversible after antidepressant therapy, and cases of reversible MCI with depressive symptoms are reported in literature. However, a symptomatology that simulates a dementia condition due to depression or other psychiatric disorders seems quite rare if not exceptional. Is pseudodementia a realty or hope? Depression Mild Cognitive Impairment Dementia Share1 Recommendation Popular Answers ( 2)5 years ago Hampton Groover Augusta University Pseudodementia is a commonly referred to \"\"diagnosis,\"\" but is it real? I think one of the reasons it has been perpetuated as a diagnosis is that it is intriguing to discuss and fun to use as a teaching point for our residents and students, much like the apathetic presentation of hyperthyroidism in certain geriatric patients - it's a great trick question on rounds and in quizzes / tests, etc. I believe it is a real entity, but it is likely not depression masquerading as dementia so much as an early manifestation of dementia. This is the observation noted in the earlier entry by Lisa Catapano-Friedman, that it is often atypical and is usually a first in life-time change, which should raise a red flag, as first onset depression in late life not due to situational factors is relatively uncommon. A foundational underpinning in the literature which finally gave some clarity on this is the autopsy study by B. C. Jost and George T. Grossberg in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society, 1996, vol 44, pp 1078-81." }, { "docid": "D2874862#0", "title": "http://www.rxlist.com/ambien-drug/warnings-precautions.htm\nAmbien", "text": "\"Drug Description Insomnia Slideshow Pictures: 10 Tips to Avoid Insomnia Sleep Slideshow: Foods That Help or Harm Your Sleep Quiz: Suffer From Insomnia?

Several studies have found that people who ate a poor-quality diet — one that was high in processed meat, chocolates, sweet desserts, fried food, refined cereals and high-fat dairy products — were more likely to report symptoms of depression. The good news is that the people who ate a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and fish were less likely to report being depressed. These results are in line with other research findings that healthy diets help protect against disease. For example, studies suggest that people who follow a Mediterranean diet — which emphasizes fruits, vegetables and fish, and limits meat and dairy products — have lower rates of depression and other diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and heart disease.

The purpose of this paper is not to bring up new issues, but to clarify and review what we know about Prozac and the biological basis of depression. What is Depression? Depression, as it is dealt with in this paper, is an affective disorder, or mood disorder, characterized by a sad or depressed mood which is more severe or lengthy than what we would consider normal. There are four categories of characteristics of depressive symptoms: emotional pain, or a sad or blue mood; difficulties in cognition, for example difficulty concentrating; changes in behavior associated with depression, such as crying, social withdrawal, and attempting suicide; and somatic changes, such as sleep disturbances, loss of appetite, or a decreased libido. ( Jefferson 467) Depression influences the patient's social activity and disturbs his/her regular work patterns and motivation.

[ 3] In many countries, clinical psychology is a regulated mental health profession. The field is generally considered to have begun in 1896 with the opening of the first psychological clinic at the University of Pennsylvania by Lightner Witmer. In the first half of the 20th century, clinical psychology was focused on psychological assessment, with little attention given to treatment. This changed after the 1940s when World War II resulted in the need for a large increase in the number of trained clinicians. Since that time, three main educational models have developed in the USA—the Ph. D. Clinical Science model (heavily focused on research), [4] the Ph.

Validity has recently been reconceptualized as a unitary factor known as construct validity. Five sources of construct validity evidence have been specified: test content, response processes, internal structure, relationships to other variables, and consequential aspects of construct validity. They function either as general validity criteria or as standards for all assessment and measurement. Purpose The purpose of the manuscript is to present an overview of the contemporary conceptualization of construct validity and its relevance to occupational therapy practice, education, and research. Key Issues & Implications Taken together, the five components of construct validity evidence provide a way of addressing the multiple and interrelated validity questions that need to be answered in order to justify occupational therapy test score interpretation and use by practitioners. Given the context of evidence-based practice, professional standards of practice, increasing calls for accountability, and the fact that validity of a test, instrument, or scale is now seen as being a dynamic process, it is important for occupational therapists to be conversant with this contemporary view of construct validity, and the body of validity evidence related to the assessment tools used in clinical practice.

You can pursue a masters degree in psychology if your bachelors is in another area, but it is important to have undergraduate psychology classes on your college transcript. Once accepted into a program, expect close to 60 hours of coursework, which will vary by institution and state standards. Many universities require at least a 1-year internship, while some will also expect a master’s thesis. Some universities stipulate both.

Psychoanalytic dream interpretation is the process of explaining the meaning of the way the unconscious thoughts and emotions are processed in the mind during sleep. There have been multiple methods used in psychoanalytic dream interpretation, including Freud's method of dream interpretation, the symbolic method, and the decoding method. The Freudian method is the most prominently used in psychoanalysis and has been for the last century. Psychoanalytic dream interpretation is used mainly for therapeutic purposes in a variety of settings. Although these theories are used, none have been solidly proven and much has been left open to debate among researchers. Some studies have shown that areas of dream interpretation can be invalid and therefore a decline in importance has been seen in psychoanalytic dream interpretation.

As much as many would like to believe that the retina is a \"\"solved\"\" and well-understood part of the brain (yes, the retina is part of the brain), there is still much that we don't know about the retina. This led to the overall opinion within the lab that those that were studying deeper layers of the brain beyond the retina or attempting to link behavior outcome with underlying mechanisms, were essentially poking around in the dark. With so little understood about the underlying structure, function, and signaling in the brain, you can only imagine how difficult it is to relate behavior and cognitive output from normal and dysfunctional humans and relate them to the underlying neurological phenomenon. But despite the immense difficulty, there are a lot of smart people working to understand the brain at all levels. Like any other specialty within brain research, clinical psychology has researchers/clinicians who design very good experiments, as well as those that may not be as rigorous. Certainly attempting to perform experiments on such a complex system requires the utmost attention to controls (ever read a visual psychophysics paper, typically the first half of the paper describes the calibration of the monitor used to present the stimuli!). One additional point that I can add to all this is that the field of Neuroscience, at least back when I was in the Ph D program over a decade ago, was split into two mindsets -- those like myself who were from an engineering/physics background that were mainly interested in the brain from a computation/mechanistic standpoint. We were the ones fueled by the goal that if we understood the brain, we could build better computers." }, { "docid": "D1870967#0", "title": "http://www.studymode.com/subjects/what-did-you-learn-in-psychology-class-page1.html\n\"\"\"What Did You Learn In Psychology Class\"\" Essays and Research Papers\"", "text": "\"\"\"What Did You Learn In Psychology Class\"\" Essays and Research Papers What Did You Learn In Psychology Class What did Marlow Learn ?

By Shelley Moore To become a psychologist, you'll need at least a master's and usually a doctoral degree, depending on the career goals. A few different avenues lead to a career in psychology, including a stand-alone master's degree, a master's completion and then later a doctorate, or a program combining the two. Identification The first step required to become a psychologist is obtaining a bachelor's degree with a major or minor in psychology or a related field such as social work, or at a minimum completing several courses in psychology. Traditionally, a bachelor's takes 4 years to complete, although some people need longer because they work full-time or take a break during their education. Significance Working as a counseling psychologist requires a master's degree at the minimum, as does teaching at an academic institution. A college or university will expect the person to obtain a doctoral degree within a specified time frame. Some states, such as California, require a doctorate to practice as a psychologist. Function Increasingly, students are going from a bachelor's directly to a doctoral program that combines a master's thesis into the degree. However, depending on career goals, a student might choose a stand-alone master's, which can provide opportunities in research, mental health and human services, mental health administration, social work and other fields." }, { "docid": "D1131020#0", "title": "http://www.excite.com/education/psychology\nWhat to Do With A Psychology Degree?", "text": "What to Do With A Psychology Degree?

Rotter's father ran a successful business until the Great Depression. The Depression powerfully influenced Rotter to be aware of social injustice and the effects of the situational environment on people. Rotter's interest in psychology began when he was in high school and read books by Freud and Adler. Rotter attended Brooklyn College, where he began attending seminars given by Adler and meetings of his Society of Individual Psychology in Adler's home. After graduation, Rotter attended the University of Iowa, where he took classes with Kurt Lewin. Rotter minored in speech pathology and studied with the semanticist Wendell Johnson, whose ideas had an enduring influence on Rotter's thinking about the use and misuse of language in psychological science. Upon finishing his master's degree, Rotter took an internship in clinical psychology -- one of the few available at the time -- at Worcester State Hospital in Massachusetts. In 1939, Rotter started his Ph.

RT is one of the most feared developments in CLL. In its “true” form, RT has little effective therapy and a very poor outcome. Most trials for CLL, including those that involve the novel targeted therapies that promise to revolutionize the treatment of CLL, have an exclusion criteria for RT. At the same time, the advent of more effective therapies for CLL is altering the expectations of patients and their families regarding the prospect of long-term disease control and possibly even cure. This makes the development of RT even more devastating. To make matters worse, the problem of RT is likely to become more frequent.

CLL and SLL are considered neoplastic, although they are indolent and many patients with these lymphomas never require treatment. Most MBL cases share immunophenotypic and genetic features with CLL and SLL but have a small burden of clonal cells. This review focuses on the pathologic features of CLL, SLL, and MBL and their differential diagnoses. Guidelines are provided to separate the entities from one another and to avoid pitfalls in distinguishing these entities from other lymphomas and from reactive lymphoid proliferations. Previous article Next article Keywords Chronic lymphocytic leukemia Small lymphocytic lymphoma Lymphocytosis Lymphoproliferative Overview Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) represents a relatively common indolent B-cell lymphoma that may present as a leukemia (CLL) or as lymphadenopathy without significant lymphocytosis (SLL). CLL and SLL are otherwise biologically similar and thus distinguished entirely by their clinical presentation. Although these are indolent diseases with median survivals in excess of 10 years, transformation to high-grade lymphoma (typically diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or, less commonly, classical Hodgkin lymphoma) may occur as an adverse event. The 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues recently revised the diagnostic criteria of CLL to require a minimal neoplastic peripheral blood lymphocyte count of 5 × 10 9 /L, thus creating a new disease of a clonal CLL-like lymphoid proliferation, termed monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL). Although MBL seems to represent a precursor lesion of CLL, the majority of patients with MBL never develop CLL, SLL, or any hematologic malignancy." }, { "docid": "D661733#0", "title": "http://www.uptodate.com/contents/chronic-lymphocytic-leukemia-cll-in-adults-beyond-the-basics\n.", "text": "\"The content on the Up To Date website is not intended nor recommended as a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Such cells include red blood cells, nonmalignant white cells, and platelets, all of which are vital for the body to function properly. The leukemic white cells take over the bone marrow and make it impossible for normal cells to grow and mature to function as they should. Leukemic cells look different from healthy cells under the microscope and are unable to do their normal jobs.

The Cross Hairs Why is this relevant to CLL patients? As usual, CLL — or treatment for CLL — leaves our patient group with various levels of immune deficiency. As a group we are more vulnerable than the general population to opportunistic infections. The more advanced the CLL and the more immune suppressive the therapies already used, the less is a patient able to mount an effective immune response to overcome infections. Drug resistant strains of staph pose a special hazard in these circumstances, since they do not respond to the usual first-line treatments. Awareness of the threat, a willingness to seek medical help quickly, accurate diagnoses and effective treatment are therefore critical. In addition there are things a CLL patient can do to improve his or her chances of not getting infected in the first place. What Exactly Is Staph?

Recent studies have drawn attention to the biological overlap between classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). Similarly, there is a greater appreciation of the borderlands between Burkitt lymphoma and DLBCL. Strategies for the management of these borderline lesions are proposed. Additionally, age-specific and site-specific factors play an important role in the definition of several new entities, which also have biological underpinnings. Among the peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL), more precise definitions were introduced for several entities, including anaplastic large cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, and subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma. Several new variants of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas are proposed. Finally, the subclassification and categorization of the most common lymphoma subtypes, follicular lymphoma (FL) and DLBCL, were altered to enhance diagnostic accuracy and aid in clinical management. The 2008 WHO classification also draws attention to early events in lymphomagenesis. These lesions help delineate the earliest steps in neoplastic transformation and generally mandate a conservative therapeutic approach." }, { "docid": "D106444#0", "title": "https://www.lls.org/leukemia\nLeukemia", "text": "\"Patients Disease Information Leukemia Leukemia Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. Leukemia begins in a cell in the bone marrow. The cell undergoes a change and becomes a type of leukemia cell. Once the marrow cell undergoes a leukemic change, the leukemia cells may grow and survive better than normal cells. Over time, the leukemia cells crowd out or suppress the development of normal cells. The rate at which leukemia progresses and how the cells replace the normal blood and marrow cells are different with each type of leukemia. After diagnosis and treatment, many people with leukemia live many good, quality years. You may find that knowing more about the disease and its treatment can help you cope.

Go to: Abstract A paraprotein is a monoclonal immunoglobulin or light chain present in the blood or urine; it is produced by a clonal population of mature B cells, most commonly plasma cells. In individuals aged >50 years the incidence of a paraprotein is 3.2%. Plasma cell disorders can be considered as a spectrum of conditions ranging from monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), through asymptomatic, to symptomatic myeloma. MGUS is defined by a low level of paraprotein <30 g/l, bone marrow plasma cells <10% and the absence of myeloma related organ or tissue damage (predominantly renal, skeletal or bone marrow impairment.) MGUS requires no therapy and the overall risk of progression to myeloma is 1% per year. Myeloma remains incurable with a median survival of 3–4 years; autologous stem cell transplant can prolong survival, if appropriate. Thalidomide in combination with dexamethasone has an emerging role in the treatment of myeloma. A paraprotein is a monoclonal immunoglobulin or immunoglobulin light chain (Bence Jones protein) present in the blood or urine and arising from clonal proliferation of mature B‐cells, most commonly plasma cells or B‐lymphocytes.

A CLL/SLL diagnosis may seem overwhelming at first, but understanding it can help you feel more at ease. 1In CLL/SLL, the abnormal B cells crowd out healthy B cells. B cells are a type of white blood cell. They are an important part of your immune system—your body’s defense against infection. In CLL, abnormal B cells grow out of control and may crowd out healthy B cells in the lymph nodes, bone marrow, and other organs.

Leukemia is a form of cancer that affects the body's ability to make healthy blood cells. It starts in the bone marrow, the soft center of various bones. This is where new blood cells are made. Blood cells include Red blood cells, which carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and take carbon dioxide to the lungs to be exhaled Platelets, which help blood clot White blood cells, which help fight infections, viruses, and diseases. Although cancer can affect red blood cells and platelets, leukemia generally refers to cancer of the white blood cells. The disease usually affects one of the two major types of white blood cells: lymphocytes and granulocytes. These cells circulate throughout the body to help the immune system fight off viruses, infections, and other invading organisms. Leukemias arising from lymphocytes are called lymphocytic leukemias; those from granulocytes are called myeloid, or myelogenous, leukemias." } ]

Thanks! Posting my question here, just in case this is the correct place. If it is not, then oops Last year I took about 10 cuttings from one of my crepe myrtles and was only able to get 2 of them to root (they are in the ground now so I'm not sure if they made it through the winter or not).

By Bill Daley The weather’s cooperating, the coals are lit — and you’ve got your mind on a juicy steak with perfect grill marks. But what type of steak should you buy? Well, rib-eye remains the favorite across the United States — and the bigger the better. But the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, an industry group, lists some 28 steak or fillet cuts you can choose from. They come in a range of flavor, texture, tenderness, fat content and price. The six most popular? Karli Millspaugh, an association spokeswoman, says they are: Boneless rib-eye, boneless strip steak, top sirloin steak, bone-in rib-eye, bone-in strip steak and T-bone steak. All are familiar and delicious; you can’t go wrong with them.

Complaining about food costs is a favorite pastime of restaurant owners (and anyone who steps foot into a grocery store), but this time restaurateurs have a legitimate beef: the wholesale cost for beef is at historic highs, and according to the Los Angeles Times, the cattle herds in the U.

Photo courtesy of the Beef Checkoff Once upon a time, beef chuck came from the meat purveyor as a big, bone-in primal cut called a square-cut beef chuck. It's a complex jumble of meat, connective tissue (i.e. gristle), along with bones from the ribs, shoulder blade, and neck. In the old days, about half of the beef chuck would be made into roasts (or steaks), and the rest ended up either in the grinder or sold as stew meat. And that's still done today. There will always be a market for these classic beef chuck roasts. And beef chuck also happens to be the best meat for making burgers, because it has just the right fat content. Nevertheless, these days butchers (and chefs) have a lot more options for how to order and fabricate beef chuck. By the way, in meat cutting, the word \"\"fabricate\"\" means to cut a large primal cut into smaller subprimal, or to cut subprimes into individual steaks, roasts, chops, and so on. See also: Beef Buts Diagram One of the most common ways of fabricating a beef chuck is by separating it into two major boneless subprimal, the chuck roll, and the chuck shoulder clod." }, { "docid": "D2103520#0", "title": "http://www.xboxachievements.com/game/where-the-wild-things-are/guide/\nWhere the Wild Things Are Achievement Guide", "text": "\"Where the Wild Things Are Overview \| Achievements \| Achievement Guide \| Review \| Screens \| Videos \| Forums \| Leaderboards \| Game Sessions Where the Wild Things Are Achievement Guide Guide By: Y0UNIK0RNThere are 48 achievements with a total of 1000 points.

The main agents of soil erosion are wind, water, and tillage. Maintaining a continuous vegetative cover on the soil is usually the best way to control erosion. Soil deterioration and low quality of water due to erosion and run off has often become a severe problem around the world. Many times the problems become so severe that the land can no longer be cultivated and is abandoned. The key to minimizing soil erosion and saving the farm lands is the farmer himself. Ultimately, he is the one who must reduce the level at which erosion sediments are dislodged from his cropland. Studies in water quality relating to agriculture have shown that, of the four to five billion tons of sediment being deposited in the country's streams each year, over half is coming from croplands." }, { "docid": "D2458620#0", "title": "https://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/generic/beef-steak-battered-fried?portionid=1690&portionamount=1.000\nFried Battered Beef Steak", "text": "\"Food database and calorie counter Source: Generic1 steak finger (approximately 3-1/2\"\" x 3/4\"\" x 1/2\"\")Fried Battered Beef Steak Nutrition Facts Serving Size: 1 steak finger (approximately 3-1/2\"\" x 3/4\"\" x 1/2\"\")Amount Per Serving Calories from Fat 52Calories 88% Daily ValuesTotal Fat 5.73g 9 %Saturated Fat 1.956g 10 %Polyunsaturated Fat 0.758g Monounsaturated Fat 2.419g Cholesterol 22mg 7 %Sodium 90mg 4 %Potassium 95mg Total Carbohydrate 2g 1 %Dietary Fiber 0.1g 0 %Sugars 0.5g Protein 6.58g Vitamin A 0% Vitamin C 0%Calcium 1% Iron 5% Percent Daily Values are based on a 2000 calorie diet.

In meiosis I, each chromosome lines up with its homologue in what is known as a synaptonemal complex via a process called synapsis.

This article discusses the biological, historical, and moral aspects of cloning mammals. The main area of concentration is the moral dimensions of reproductive cloning, specifically the use of cloning in order to procreate. The article summarizes the different types of cloning, such as recombinant DNA/molecular cloning, therapeutic cloning, and reproductive cloning. It explores some classic stereotypes of human clones, and it illustrates how many of these stereotypes can be traced back to media portrayals about human cloning. After a brief history of the development of cloning technology, the article considers arguments for and against reproductive cloning. One of the most predominate themes underlying arguments for reproductive cloning is an appeal to procreative liberty. Because cloning may provide the only way for some individuals to have a child that is genetically their own, a ban on cloning interferes with their reproductive autonomy. Arguments against cloning appeal to concerns about a clone’s lack of genetic uniqueness and what may be implied because of this.

Since you are building a new PC, cloning the SSD is not an option for you. The disk cloning is a process of copying the contents from your old drive to a new one by doing an exact replicate of your files together with the operating system. This is usually done when you upgrade the primary storage of your current computer, for example. Since the operating system communicates with the motherboard itself and it's tied to it, using a different drive doesn't affect it. Unlike standard copying functions, the cloning or migrating process transfers even hidden system files that require you to have a specific cloning software." }, { "docid": "D2469225#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Orphan_Black_characters\nList of Orphan Black characters", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Several Orphan Black cast members at Nerd HQ in 2014.

If embryos are, as some would claim, human beings like you and me, then ES cell research is clearly Embryos impermissible.

When we ask whether a being has moral status, we are asking whether it counts or matters from the moral point of view; whether it must be considered in our moral deliberations.

When the days start to become shorter and the nights longer, flowering signals are triggered by photoperiodism, beginning the flowering process. The increasing hours of darkness signal to the plant that Fall is just around the corner. The female marijuana plant shifts its energy from vegetative growth into flowering, in order to attract pollen and produce seeds. By manipulating the hours of darkness, indoor and outdoor growers can delay flowering indefinitely or begin flowering whenever desired. The traditional method used to sustain vegetative growth is to keep light on the plants between 18 and 24 hours each day. The key factor is not the hours of light, but the hours of darkness.

Most automotive keys can be broken down into 2 basic categories: Transponder keys Non-Transponder keys (AKA Flat metal keys)First off, let us not confuse transponder (chip) keys with automotive remotes. Auto remotes can unlock and lock your vehicle. Some remotes are built into the keys (Remote Head Keys), while others are separate from the keys (fobs). These remotes operate independent from the transponder security system. As for #2, the flat metal key, this single or double sided (cuts on top and bottom) key operates solely off the mechanical cuts.

And in today’s article we are going to extend that example and introduce the concept of a sliding window. Sliding windows play an integral role in object classification, as they allow us to localize exactly “where” in an image an object resides. Utilizing both a sliding window and an image pyramid we are able to detect objects in images at various scales and locations. In fact, both sliding windows and image pyramids are both used in my 6-step HOG + Linear SVM object classification framework!To learn more about the role sliding windows play in object classification and image classification, read on.

However, soon after the announcement of her birth in February 1997 (Wilmut et al., 1997) she caused panic and controversy. An important, and for many people troubling question arose: if the cloning of sheep is possible, will scientists soon start cloning humans as well; and if they did, would this be wrong or unwise? For most people, Dolly was really a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She represented a first undesirable and dangerous step to applying reproductive cloning in humans, something that many agreed should never be done. Only a small minority thought it was permissible, or even morally obligatory to conduct further research into human reproductive cloning. Some had no strong objections to it, but did not see any reason to promote it either. Dolly is now stuffed and set up for display in the National Museum of Scotland.

H. J. Webber (1865 - 1946) Herbert John Webber was an American botanist from Cornell University who specialized in breeding plants and studying citrus diseases (Knowledge 2011). Origin of the term “clone”The word \"\"clone\"\" was coined by H. J. Webber in 1903 to describe a colony of organisms derived asexually from a single progenitor. Seeking a word to describe small sections of a plant that can be cut off and transplanted, Webber chose the word “clon” or clone as a unique new word in the English language, with an easy pronunciation. The word clone derives from the ancient Greek “klon”, or twig, which can give rise to a new tree identical to its parent tree. Groundbreaking cloning experiments of Hans Spemann In 1902, Hans Spemann used a strand of baby hair as a noose to successfully split apart the cells of a two-celled salamander embryo, and observed that a normal salamander developed from each individual cell. This was the first recorded instance when scientists could mimic the natural \"\"cloning\"\" that generates monozygotic (identical) twins and triplets. The next milestone in vertebrate cloning technology occurred 25 years later in 1928. Hans Spemann, still working in the field, transferred a nucleus obtained from a cell isolated from a sixteen-cell salamander embryo to another single salamander embryo cell whose nucleus had been removed (Speeman 1965). The enucleated embryo cells fused with the transferred nucleus and developed into a normal salamander." }, { "docid": "D776552#0", "title": "https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/83ba82a4-3a0d-4a45-9533-fc11b0189bf5/arraylistcopy-vs-arraylistclone?forum=csharpgeneral\nArraylist.Copy () vs Arraylist.Clone ()", "text": "\"Arraylist.

In computer science, cloning is the process of creating an exact copy of another application program or object. The term can be used to refer an object, programming or an application that has similar functions and behaviour to another object or application program but does not contain the original source code from the concerned object or program. Cloning is also used to describe the act of making the exact copy of a directory file or disk inclusive of any subdirectories or files within the disk or directory. Techopedia explains Cloning Cloned applications and programs are often customized applications. In many cases, they are technically superior to the original, as in the case of Linux. Cloning in programming, in all cases copies the values from the concerned object to the other object. Cloning allows programmers to copy the values of an object or source code of an application program to another without the need for writing the explicit code. Certain programming languages, for example Java, have keywords and functionalities to support cloning.

General Stem Cell Knowledge Cloning, or somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), is the technique used to produce Dolly the sheep, the first animal to be produced as a genetic copy of another adult. In this procedure, the nucleus of an egg cell is removed and replaced by the nucleus of a cell from another adult. In Dolly’s case, the cell came from the mammary gland of an adult ewe. This nucleus contained that ewe’s DNA. After being inserted into the egg, the adult cell nucleus is reprogrammed by the host cell. The egg is artificially stimulated to divide and behave in a similar way to an embryo fertilised by sperm. After many divisions in culture, this single cell forms a blastocyst (an early stage embryo with about 100 cells) with almost identical DNA to the original donor who provided the adult cell – a genetic clone. At this stage, cloning can go one of two ways: Reproductive cloning To produce Dolly, the cloned blastocyst was transferred into the womb of a recipient ewe, where it developed and when born quickly became the world’s most famous lamb. When the cloning process is used in this way, to produce a living duplicate of an existing animal, it is commonly called reproductive cloning." }, { "docid": "D665649#0", "title": "http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/36184/how-can-i-copy-the-os-x-system-image-from-primary-hdd-to-new-ssd\nHow can I copy the OS X system image from primary HDD to new SSD?", "text": "\"_Ask Different is a question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software.

In a typical cloning experiment, a target gene is inserted into a circular piece of DNA called a plasmid. The plasmid is introduced into bacteria via process called transformation, and bacteria carrying the plasmid are selected using antibiotics. Bacteria with the correct plasmid are used to make more plasmid DNA or, in some cases, induced to express the gene and make protein. Introduction When you hear the word “cloning,” you may think of the cloning of whole organisms, such as Dolly the sheep. However, all it means to clone something is to make a genetically exact copy of it. In a molecular biology lab, what’s most often cloned is a gene or other small piece of DNA. If your friend the molecular biologist say that her “cloning” isn’t working, she's almost certainly talking about copying bits of DNA, not making the next Dolly!Overview of DNA cloning DNA cloning is the process of making multiple, identical copies of a particular piece of DNA. In a typical DNA cloning procedure, the gene or other DNA fragment of interest (perhaps a gene for a medically important human protein) is first inserted into a circular piece of DNA called a plasmid.

Since you are building a new PC, cloning the SSD is not an option for you. The disk cloning is a process of copying the contents from your old drive to a new one by doing an exact replicate of your files together with the operating system. This is usually done when you upgrade the primary storage of your current computer, for example. Since the operating system communicates with the motherboard itself and it's tied to it, using a different drive doesn't affect it.

It depends on how much quality you're willing to sacrifice, I guess. To my knowledge, LEGO's the highest quality thing out there. Mega Bloks As far as I'm aware, Mega Bloks don't hold together as consistently as LEGO-- they sometimes fall apart more easily than LEGO, probably because of the quality of the molds that MB uses. MB plastic is also more brittle, so the elements will \"\"shatter\"\" rather than bend (which is more dangerous for young kids).

In meiosis I, each chromosome lines up with its homologue in what is known as a synaptonemal complex via a process called synapsis. Once paired together, the chromosomes form a tetrad, which allows for crossing over to take place. When this happens, segments of DNA are exchanged to increase genetic variance." }, { "docid": "D2294629#0", "title": "http://www.debate.org/opinions/should-human-cloning-be-allowed\nShould human cloning be allowed?", "text": "Human Cloning should never be allowed.

Constitutive transcription is genes being transcribed continuously with no regulatory control and regulated transcription is the need for agile and calibrated responses to changing environmental conditions2. What is meant by \"\"negative control\"\" and \"\"positive control\"\"? Negative control of transcription involves the binding of a repressor protein to a regulatory DNA sequence, consequence of preventing transcription of a gene or cluster of genes; Positive control of transcription involves the binding of an activator protein to regulatory DNA, result of initiating gene transcription3. Which two functional domains are usually found in prokaryotic repressors and activators? DNA binding domain-responsible for locating and binding operator DNA sequence or other target regulatory sequences; allosteric domain- binds a molecule or protein, in so doing, causes a change in the conformation of the DNA binding site4. What are the common features of the DNA binding domains of regulatory proteins and the sites on DNA where they bind?" }, { "docid": "D1427094#0", "title": "http://novaonline.nvcc.edu/eli/evans/HIS135/events/dolly96/Dolly_Module.html\n.", "text": "\"1996Dolly and the Clone Wars (Created by Shantille Vos, History 135, April 2004)Dolly with her first lamb, Bonnie. Assignment About Dolly Timeline Online References Suggested Reading Dolly Videos Quotes Concerning Cloning Factsheet on Cloning The Ethics of Cloning Related Topics Assignment: What effect has the successful cloning of Dolly had on the general population?. About Dolly Dolly, a Finn Dorset sheep, was born on July 5th, 1996, at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland. Her birth, not revealed to the public until February 3rd, 1997, sparked controversy instantly, because Dolly was the world's first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. Considered one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs ever, Dolly's birth and subsequent survival proved that adult cells can reprogram themselves into a new being. The team that created her, led by Scotsman Ian Wilmut, hoped to create an animal whose cells were genetically young again, rather than prematurely adult; however, when Dolly was reported to have been euthanased on February 14th, 2003, nearly six years after her birth, concern was raised that her progressive lung disease was caused because her cells were already old; she also had premature arthritis. Sheep can normally live to 11 or 12 years of age, and lung disease is not common in younger sheep. There was some speculation as to whether she caught it or not from the other sheep that she was housed with, but that claim has been neither confirmed nor denied. Dolly, named after singer Dolly Parton, bred normally on two occasions, with a Welsh mountain ram named David, and over the course of her life gave birth to four lambs; proving thus that clones can reproduce. Francis Crick and James Watson are widely recognized as some of the first pioneers in cloning technology." } ]

The news called it “the most expensive drink ever,” though I have some doubts if that’s the case. About a year ago, a Starbucks customer in Wisconsin did the same kind of thing, buying a more expensive drink. The Wisconsin customer also used a very large personal cup and paid cash for his drink!What came out of this was an awareness of what Starbucks can offer their customers in personal cups. Yesterday, I had a conversation with an official Starbucks spokesperson (Linda Mills), and she told me the following update to their policy on using personal cups for blended beverages:“As you know, we love the personalization we can offer customers. But, from time to time we need to clarify and reemphasize a guideline for our partners and to ensure our core benefits can be enjoyed by all our customers. In this instance, that blended beverages and espresso drinks cannot be served in sizes larger than a Venti (24 oz cold cup/20 oz hot cup) – including personalized beverage request. This clarity will help our partners deliver a consistent experience and quality beverages for our customers, and rewards program benefits that can continue to be enhanced and relevant. ”The bottom line is this means the largest cup a Frappuccino may be served in is the Starbucks Venti Cup. The largest cup size an iced tea or iced coffee may be served in is the Trenta cup size." }, { "docid": "D617427#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/15063016/common-cooking-terms-flash-cards/\nCommon Cooking Terms", "text": "\"47 terms julie_mcinnes Common Cooking Terms This is a list of common cooking and baking terms Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort What does whip mean? to beat food lightly and rapidly in order to incorporate air into the mixture and to increase its volume What does baste mean? to moisten foods during cooking with pan drippings or a sauce in order to add flavor and prevent drying What does chill mean? to cool a food to below room temperature in the refrigerator or freezer or over ice What does snip mean? to cut food, often fresh herbs or dried fruit, with kitchen shears into very small, uniform pieces using short quick strokes What does cube mean? to cut into uniform pieces, usually a half inch on all sides What does butterfly mean? to split foods in the middle without completely separating the halves, then spreading the halves to resemble a butterfly.

It is available on Unix-likeoperating systems including mac OS, Linux, Solaris, and BSD, and is available on Windows NT -based operating systems including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. It is used for finding problems in the network and to determine the amount of traffic on the network as a performance measurement.

Terminal Server is one way or you can use the command line utility pslist from Microsoft Sysinternals site.

Both tasklist.exe and taskkill,exe can be found in %SYSTEMROOT%\\System32 (typically C:\\Windows\\System32) directory. To view processes on a remote Computer in your home, you will need to know the username and password on the Computer you want to view the processes. Once you have the user account information, the syntax for using tasklist follows:tasklist.exe /S SYSTEM /U USERNAME /P PASSWORD (To view all tasklist options, type tasklist /? at the command prompt)To execute, click on Start \\ Run… and in the run window type cmd to open a command prompt. Then type the tasklist command, substituting SYSTEM for the remote computer you want to view processes, USERNAME and PASSWORD with an account/password on the remote Computer. ( NOTE: if you are in a Domain environment and have Administrator rights to the remote Computer, you will may not need to specify a Username and Password)Now if there was a process that needed to be killed, you can use the taskill command.

The netstat command of Windows systems is known to be buggy: Before Windows NT 4.0 SP3, netstat does not display listening TCP ports [ 5]On Windows NT 4.0, netstat displays TCP ports as listening, when sockets are only bound to UDP ports [ 6]The second bug can lead to suprising netstat outputs on Windows NT 4.0 systems. One particularly odd result is that TCP port 135 (used by the rpcss service, as explained later) is displayed twice in netstat outputs: C:\\WINNT>netstat -anp tcp \| find \"\":135 \"\" TCP 0.0.0.0:135 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP 0.0.0.0:135 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING UDP 0.0.0.0:135 :This is because the rpcss service opens both ports 135/tcp and 135/udp. But, with the bug aforementionned, 135/tcp is displayed a second time. This explains why 135/tcp appears twice. Another serious bug exists in all versions of Windows NT systems before Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP SP2: for each outgoing TCP connection established from a Windows system, the local source port is displayed as LISTENING [ 7 ]. In the following example, a TCP connection was established to port 22 of a remote server. The TCP/IP driver allocated port 1367 as source port for the connection. In the netstat output, the port appears in the LISTENING state: C:\\WINDOWS>netstat -anp tcp \| find \"\":1367\"\" TCP 0.0.0.0:1367 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP 192.70.106.142:1367 192.70.106.76:22 ESTABLISHEDHowever, this port is not really in the LISTENING state, i.e, it is not possible to establish a new TCP connection on port 1367." }, { "docid": "D1271433#0", "title": "http://pcsupport.about.com/od/commandlinereference/p/netstat-command.htm\nHow to Use the Netstat Command", "text": "\"How To ›Windows How to Use the Netstat Command Examples, switches, and more Share Pin Email Print Netstat Command (Windows 10).by Tim Fisher Updated April 05, 2018The netstat command is a Command Prompt command used to display very detailed information about how your computer is communicating with other computers or network devices. Specifically, the netstat command can show details about individual network connections, overall and protocol-specific networking statistics, and much more, all of which could help troubleshoot certain kinds of networking issues. Netstat Command Syntaxnetstat [ -a] [ -b] [ -e] [ -f] [ -n] [ -o] [ -p protocol] [ -r] [ -s] [ -t] [ -x] [ -y] [ time_interval] [ /? ] Tip: See How to Read Command Syntax if you're not sure how to read the netstat command syntax above. Execute the netstat command alone to show a relatively simple list of all active TCP connections which, for each one, will show the local IP address (your computer), the foreign IP address (the other computer or network device), along with their respective port numbers, as well as the TCP state.-a = This switch displays active TCP connections, TCP connections with the listening state, as well as UDP ports that are being listened to.-b = This netstat switch is very similar to the -o switch listed below, but instead of displaying the PID, will display the process's actual file name. Using -b over -o might seem like it's saving you a step or two but using it can sometimes greatly extend the time it takes netstat to fully execute.-e = Use this switch with the netstat command to show statistics about your network connection. This data includes bytes, unicast packets, non-unicast packets, discards, errors, and unknown protocols received and sent since the connection was established.-f = The -f switch will force the netstat command to display the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for each foreign IP addresses when possible.-n = Use the -n switch to prevent netstat from attempting to determine host names for foreign IP addresses. Depending on your current network connections, using this switch could considerably reduce the time it takes for netstat to fully execute.-o = A handy option for many troubleshooting tasks, the -o switch displays the process identifier (PID) associated with each displayed connection. See the example below for more about using netstat -o.-p = Use the -p switch to show connections or statistics only for a particular protocol. You can not define more than one protocol at once, nor can you execute netstat with -p without defining a protocol.protocol = When specifying a protocol with the -p option, you can use tcp, udp, tcpv6, or udpv6." }, { "docid": "D2801792#0", "title": "https://serverfault.com/questions/116816/how-can-i-find-out-if-a-port-is-opened-or-not\nHow can I find out if a port is opened or not?", "text": "\"_Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators.

Antifungal creams, liquids or sprays (also called topical antifungals)These are used to treat fungal infections of the skin, scalp and nails. They include clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, tioconazole, terbinafine, and amorolfine. They come in various different brand names. Sometimes an antifungal cream is combined with other creams when two actions are required.

Alai, M. D., FAADJock Itch What is jock itch? Jock itch is a very common, itchy rash of the groin. It can be a very intense itch with or without a visible red or pink rash in the groin folds and genitals. Although jock itch is primarily a skin condition in men, female jock itch is much less common. PHOTO OF: Allergic rashes may rarely cause jock itch In general, jock itch tends to be a mild condition that occurs at least once at some point in most people’s lives. The symptoms may intermittently come and go and many cases of jock itch resolve spontaneously without any treatment. Jock itch is primarily seen in the groin, although it may spread to the inner thighs, genitals (including penis, scrotum, labia and vaginal opening), and anus. While jock itch is frequently noted in otherwise healthy patients, it is more common in diabetes and/or obesity. Possible causes of this common groin itch include irritation from tight or abrasive underwear, excess moisture, sweating, skin rubbing or friction, allergic problems, fungal infection, Candida (yeast) infection, and bacterial overgrowth or skin infection. It is important to keep in mind that not all cases of jock itch are caused by fungus." }, { "docid": "D295012#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotrimazole\nClotrimazole", "text": "\"Clotrimazole From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Chlormethiazole, Clomethiazole, or Chlormidazole.

It's a type of vaginitis, or inflammation of the vagina. Vaginal yeast infection (also called vaginal candidiasis) affects up to 3 out of 4 women at some point in their lifetimes. Many women experience at least two episodes. Although a vaginal yeast infection isn't considered a sexually transmitted infection, you can spread the fungus through mouth to genital contact. Medications can effectively treat vaginal yeast infections. If you have recurrent yeast infections — four or more within a year — you may need a longer treatment course and a maintenance plan. Symptoms Yeast infection symptoms can range from mild to moderate and include: Itching and irritation in the vagina and the tissues at the vaginal opening (vulva)A burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating Redness and swelling of the vulva Vaginal pain and soreness Vaginal rash Watery vaginal discharge Thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance Complicated yeast infection You might have a complicated yeast infection if: You have severe symptoms, such as extensive redness, swelling and itching that leads to tears or cracks (fissures) or sores You have four or more yeast infections in a year Your infection is caused by a type of candida other than Candida albicans You're pregnant You have uncontrolled diabetes Your immune system is weakened because of certain medications or conditions such as HIV infection When to see a doctor Make an appointment with your doctor if: This is the first time you've had yeast infection symptoms You're not sure whether you have a yeast infection Your symptoms don't disappear after treating with over-the-counter antifungal vaginal creams or suppositories You develop other symptoms Causes The fungus candida causes a vaginal yeast infection.

However, any Senator (s) can filibuster a motion, which is basically a way for them to delay a vote on a motion. In order to avoid or terminate a filibuster in progress, the Senate can move to invoke cloture, which requires a 3/5 vote in order to pass. The filibuster (or the threat of one) is often used against motions involving controversial legislation, which is why you may have become convinced to believe that a 3/5 vote is always required; the media doesn't typically talk about the non-controversial bills.

The option is invoked when the majority leader raises a point of order that only a simple majority is needed to close debate on certain matters. The presiding officer denies the point of order based on Senate rules, but the ruling of the chair is then appealed and overturned by majority vote, establishing new precedent. This procedure effectively allows the Senate to decide any issue by simple majority vote, regardless of existing procedural rules such as Rule XXII which requires the consent of 60 senators (out of 100) to end a filibuster for legislation, and 67 for amending a Senate rule. The term \"\"nuclear option\"\" is an analogy to nuclear weapons being the most extreme option in warfare. The nuclear option was first implemented on November 21,2013, when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid used it, and eliminated the 60-vote rule on executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments other than those to the Supreme Court. In April 2017, Senate Republicans expanded the nuclear option's use by eliminating the exception for Supreme Court nominees, after the nomination of Neil Gorsuch failed to meet the requirement of 60 votes for ending the debate.

In the winter of 1963, as the Civil Rights Act worked its way through Congress, Justice William Brennan decided to play for time. The Supreme Court had recently heard arguments in the appeal of 12 African American protesters arrested at a segregated Baltimore restaurant. The justices had caucused, and a conservative majority had voted to decide Bell v. Maryland by reiterating that the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal-protection clause did not apply to private businesses like restaurants and lunch counters—only to “state actors.” The Court had used this doctrine to limit the reach of the Fourteenth Amendment since 1883. Brennan—the Warren Court’s liberal deal maker and master strategist—knew that such a decision could destroy the civil-rights bill’s chances in Congress.

C., United States Websitesenate.gov Constitution United States Constitution The United States Senate is the upper chamber of the United States Congress, which along with the United States House of Representatives —the lower chamber—comprise the legislature of the United States. The composition and powers of the Senate are established by Article One of the United States Constitution. [ 1] The Senate is composed of senators, each of whom represents a single state in its entirety, with each state being equally represented by two senators, regardless of its population, serving staggered terms of six years; with 50 states currently in the Union, there are 100 U. S. Senators. From 1789 until 1913, Senators were appointed by legislatures of the states they represented; following the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, they are now popularly elected. The Senate chamber is located in the north wing of the Capitol, in Washington, D. C. As the upper house, the Senate has several powers of advice and consent which are unique to it; these include the ratification of treaties and the confirmation of Cabinet secretaries, Supreme Court justices, federal judges, other federal executive officials, flag officers, regulatory officials, ambassadors, and other federal uniformed officers. In addition to these, in cases wherein no candidate receives a majority of electors for Vice President, the duty befalls upon the Senate to elect one of the top two recipients of electors for that office. It further has the responsibility of conducting trials of those impeached by the House. The Senate is widely considered both a more deliberative [2] and more prestigious [3] [4] [5] body than the House of Representatives due to its longer terms, smaller size, and statewide constituencies, which historically led to a more collegial and less partisan atmosphere.

Answer by Roibeaird WA Confidence votes 13.4KA Senator would choose filibustering to block a bill if he or she was certain that it would pass if it ever went to a full vote. If the filibuster is successful, the session of Congress ends and the bill is dead at least until the next session of Congress when it must be reintroduced. If the majority party of the Senate swings from one party to the other, then it is likely that even when reintroduced in the new session, the bill will now be outvoted. If the majority party does not swing to the other side, then the filibuster just serves as a delaying tactic.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No J.

Feb. 8 2010 4:31 PMLet the Majority Rule Why the filibuster is OK for Democrats but not for Republicans. By Ben Eidelson The unraveling of the congressional debate over health care reform is already renewing calls to abolish the Senate filibuster. As manyhave argued, the filibuster undermines the democratic principle of majority rule and compounds the unrepresentative character of the Senate's design. The health care debacle suggests that the filibuster may also be rendering our country ungovernable. So why not just do away with it? Because one of the most entrenched assumptions about the filibuster—that it thwarts majority rule—is only half-true. When you crunch the numbers, it turns out that the filibuster has often served to enforce majority rule in recent years, not to undermine it. Instead of abolishing the filibuster, we should try to curb its undemocratic excesses while preserving its role as a democratic check. Of course, the filibuster is by definition a tool for a Senate minority to obstruct a Senate majority." }, { "docid": "D1172867#0", "title": "http://www.policyarchive.org/handle/10207/176\n\"Changing Senate Rules: The \"\"Constitutional\"\" or \"\"Nuclear\"\" Option\"", "text": "\"Changing Senate Rules: The \"\"Constitutional\"\" or \"\"Nuclear\"\" Option Report Misuse or Glitches Publication Date: April 2005Publisher (s): Library of Congress. Congressional Research Service Series: RL32684Topic: Government ( Legislative power and procedure)Abstract: Recent reports indicate possible attempts to curtail the use of filibusters in the Senate, perhaps in the 109th Congress. Some have suggested that proponents of this idea may invoke something called the \"\"nuclear\"\" or \"\"constitutional\"\" option in Senate floor procedure to try to end a filibuster without the need for 60 votes or to amend the cloture rule (Rule XXII) itself. No set definition exists for the term \"\"nuclear\"\" or \"\"constitutional\"\" in this context. Because the point of using such an option is to achieve a goal by means lying outside the Senate's normal rules of procedure, it would be impossible to list all the different permutations such maneuvers could encompass. Several likely scenarios that fall into this category are described in this report, followed by a discussion of the possible advantages and disadvantages of using such an approach. Opponents (and some supporters) of this kind of plan typically refer to it as the \"\"nuclear\"\" option because of the potentially significant result for Senate operations that could follow from its use. The Senate relies heavily on unanimous consent to get its legislative work accomplished. It may be more difficult to achieve unanimous consent in an environment where the minority feels it has lost some of its traditional rights. Supporters of the concept of majority cloture argue that it is a \"\"constitutional\"\" option because they will be making their argument based on a constitutional prerogative or duty of the Senate." }, { "docid": "D2785208#0", "title": "http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2013/nov/22/harry-reid/harry-reid-says-82-presidential-nominees-have-been/\nHarry Reid says 82 presidential nominees have been blocked under President Barack Obama, 86 blocked under all other presidents", "text": "\"\"\"In the history of the United States, 168 presidential nominees have been filibustered, 82 blocked under President Obama, 86 blocked under all the other presidents. \"\"— Harry Reid on Thursday, November 21st, 2013 in a graphic Harry Reid says 82 presidential nominees have been blocked under President Barack Obama, 86 blocked under all other presidents By Louis Jacobson on Friday, November 22nd, 2013 at 5:15 p.m. Senate Democrats produced this chart to support their move to end filibusters on executive nominations.

It's not that a piece of legislation requires 60 votes to be passed, 51 will do. It's that the Senate's Rules Of Order allow for two things: 1. Any Senator has an absolute right to be heard to speak on the floor regarding any measure being considered 2. A Senator is allowed to speak for as long as they wish, and their speech does not have to be germane to the subject of the bill So, combining those two rules, we see that it is theoretically possible for any Senator to decide for him or herself that they are so opposed to a measure that they will speak, forever, in order to prevent it's passage. This is at it's heart what a filibuster is...it's just a particular Senator being willing to say \"\"I am so against this I am going to stand on the floor and talk forever, preventing anything from getting done, until this is made to go away\"\" This is allowed because the US Constitution gives the Senate exclusive and complete rights to determine it's own Rules of Order, and speaking privileges are within the Rules of Order. The \"\"60 vote\"\" thing arises because of the only way that a filibuster can be broken is via a maneuver called \"\"Cloture\"\". Cloture is a petition passed along the floor of the Senate which will, once 60 signatures are gathered on it, it will force a vote (well, technically it sets a rule declaring that debate will end after a certain number of additional hours of debate...the result is the same). Originally, the filibuster was a tool used pretty infrequently. However, over the past several decades, it's use has exploded. As a result of this, the Senate has amended it's procedures slightly." }, { "docid": "D1633843#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/102237205/government-chapters-10-12-flash-cards/\nGovernment Chapters 10-12", "text": "\"42 terms emiliemouse Government Chapters 10-12Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

For most, the ritual of going to the toilet is so common that very less attention is given to it unless there is a sudden change in the color or smell of the urine. What is normal urine? Urine consists of waste material that has been filtered by your kidneys along with excess water that is not required by the body. The color of normal urine can range from clear to pale yellow to a deep orange. If the concentration of waste products to water is high, the color may deepen considerably. This depends on several factors such as how much water you have consumed along with what is included in your diet. For example, eating beets, rhubarb, or blackberries can turn your urine pink while oranges and carrots can make it orange. Other things that can harmlessly affect the color of your urine include medications and vitamin supplements (vitamin B supplements can turn urine to a bright yellow-green color). Thus on its own the color of your urine need not necessarily point to the fact that you have a health problem." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2330827#0", "title": "http://www.colorofurine.com/why-is-my-urine-cloudy/\nWhy is my urine cloudy", "text": "Why is my urine cloudy Since human urine is generally clear and mostly transparent, a cloudy or murky texture in ones urine might raise a cause for concern.

Possible reasons1. Food and drinks -– Although food and drink does not usually turn the texture of your urine cloudy, it can happen after a particularly large meal or after drinking a significant amount of milk. This is the most harmless reason of them all because the cloudy urine in this case is a direct result of the phosphate crystals present in milk and some other food items. The unabsorbed or excess phosphate is thrown out of the body via urination, thus giving the urine a cloudy texture. You can even verify whether or not this is the case, through a simple test.

If you do notice such a change, it's usually a good idea to talk to your doctor about it. When Your Urine Is Cloudy The color and clarity (transparency) or cloudiness (turbidity) of urine can be clear signals of a number of urinary system disorders. If you have urine that is cloudy, and it is accompanied by an unpleasant odor, it usually indicates that you have a urinary tract infection (UTI). For women, in particular, cloudy urine can occur because a woman’s anatomical structure lends itself to E. coli formation in the bladder. E. coli are the culprit in the majority of urinary tract infections.

If your urine is cloudy and then clears up later in the day and you have no other symptoms, you probably have nothing to worry about. Eating a large meal or drinking lots of milk can cause urine to be cloudy temporarily. Women may also have a small amount of vaginal discharge mixing with urine that makes it look a little cloudy—this is also usually not a problem, so do not worry. If cloudiness persists and you have other symptoms—pain and burning during urination, a feeling of urgency, or even fever, for example—you need to talk to your primary care provider about it as you may have a urinary tract infection or other condition requiring treatment. If your urine is dark amber in color and has a strong odor too, it may indicate that it's extremely concentrated. This can happen after heavy exercise and sweating and means that you need to drink more water to avoid dehydration. If the extra water intake doesn't lighten the color and odor of your urine, you may have other conditions that require medical attention, such as a urinary tract infection or even early diabetes. Sometimes foods cause urine to have an odor (asparagus, for example) but the odor should go away after a few hours or overnight. If a strong odor persists, it's time to contact your health care provider and have a urine test to determine the cause." }, { "docid": "D2871098#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/oily-looking-urine\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Why Does My Urine Look Oily", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Why Does My Urine Look Oily Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Forrest Jones1 doctor agreed:1 Why does my urine look oily?

In clinical practice there are often good reasons why treatment approaches differ from what is described here. Treating Parkinsonian symptoms : The first step is to try to reduce the dose of the antipsychotic medication that may be causing the Parkinsonian symptoms. If this does not work, one option is to switch the medication to a different antipsychotic that has less potent dopamine-blocking actions. Quetiapine and Clozapine are the antipsychotics with the least dopamine-blockade, followed by Olanzapine. The second option is to add an anticholinergic medication. The anticholinergic medication will need to be used on a daily basis in order to control the Parkinsonian symptoms. It should be used at the lowest possible effective dose, and once the Parkinsonian symptoms subside it can be tapered and discontinued, as sometimes the Parkinsonian symptoms will improve with time. Treating akathisia : The first step is to try to reduce the dose of the antipsychotic medication that may be causing the akathisia . If this does not work, one option is to switch the medication to a different antipsychotic that has less potent dopamine-blocking actions, such as Quetiapine, Clozapine, or Olanzapine." }, { "docid": "D3036600#0", "title": "http://www.medscape.org/viewarticle/507283\nTreatment-Resistant Schizophrenia", "text": "\"Introduction Several sessions at the 158th Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), held in Atlanta, Georgia, in May 2005, featured discussions of treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The issue of treatment resistance is of particular importance for practicing psychiatrists, because 10% to 30% of patients have little or no response to antipsychotic medications, and up to an additional 30% of patients have only partial responses to treatment. [ 1] Although treatment resistance may be an enduring feature for some patients, more commonly it develops over the course of the patient's illness. [ 2] The treatment of schizophrenia has changed dramatically with the ongoing development of pharmacologic agents and better evidence for the effectiveness of several psychosocial treatments. Six second-generation antipsychotics are now available in the United States: clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, and aripiprazole. Despite recent advances and increasing treatment options, many patients with schizophrenia remain symptomatic even with treatment. The concept of nonresponse to treatment is multidimensional, as no response may be present in positive, negative, cognitive, excitement, or depressive symptom domains. [ 3] Even if a patient's positive symptoms respond or remit with an antipsychotic agent, residual negative and cognitive symptoms often persist. [ 1] There are several general principles for the treatment of refractory schizophrenia. When encountered by what appears to be treatment resistance, the clinician should review the diagnosis, check for psychiatric or substance abuse comorbidity, rule out medical comorbidities, and assess the adequacy of past and present pharmacotherapy (duration/dosage/compliance)." }, { "docid": "D651256#0", "title": "https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a691001.html\nClozapine", "text": "Clozapinepronounced as (kloe' za peen)Why is this medication prescribed?

If the drug does not cross (or little) the blood-brain barrier, the peripheral effects will prevail and conversely in the case of good penetration in the brain. Peripheral dopaminergic antagonists Dopamine has an emetic effect and inhibitis digestive motricity; its antagonists have antiemetic and digestive motility stimulant effects. Dopaminergic receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone responsible for vomiting are accessible to dopaminergic antagonists which do not cross the blood-brain barrier. Drugs stimulanting gastrointestinal motility are called prokinetic agents and are used specially in treating gastroesophageal reflux. The two principal peripheral antagonists of dopamine are domperidone and metoclopramide. Domperidone Domperidone, chemically derived from butyrophenones, has a poor penetration into the brain and it does not induce, under usual conditions of use, central adverse effects resulting from blocking of central dopaminergic receptors. Domperidone is used in the preventive and curative treatment of nausea and vomiting and dyspepsia with motility disorder. It reinforces oesophago-gastroduodenal motility, without modifying digestive secretions.

The name granulocyte refers to grain-like bodies within the cell. Granulocytes include basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils. Acquired agranulocytosis may be caused by a variety of drugs. However, among the drugs to which a patient may be sensitive are several used in the treatment of cancer (cancer chemotherapeutic agents) and others used as antipsychotic medications (e.g., clozapine). The symptoms of this disorder come about as the result of interference in the production of granulocytes in the bone marrow. People with acquired agranulocytosis are susceptible to a variety of bacterial infections, usually caused by otherwise benign bacteria found in the body. Not infrequently, painful ulcers also develop in mucous membranes that line the mouth and/or the gastrointestinal tract. Signs & Symptoms The first symptoms of acquired agranulocytosis are usually those associated with a bacterial infection such as general weakness, chills, fever, and/or extreme exhaustion.

A large number of substances that block serotonin receptors have been evaluated for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia. Moreover, serotonin has been implicated in a variety of behaviors and somatic functions that are disturbed in schizophrenia (eg, perception, attention, mood, aggression, sexual drive, appetite, motor behavior, and sleep). Data were presented on the changes in serotonin receptors and its transporters in postmortem or PET studies in patients with schizophrenia and the involvement of serotonin system in the pathogenesis and treatment of schizophrenia in a symposium at the XXIInd CINP Congress held in Brussels, Belgium, July 10-13, 2000.

Biochemical, pharmacologic, and behavioral aspects of the 5-HT 1A agonists S15535 and S16924 have been presented. S15535 has high affinity for 5-HT 2A receptors and acts as an agonist on presynaptic sites and as an antagonist on postsynaptic sites.

To find the centroid, one computes the (arithmetic) mean of the points' positions separately for each dimension. For example, if you had points at: (-1, 10, 3), (0, 5, 2), and (1, 20, 10),then the centroid would be located at ( (-1+0+1)/3, (10+5+20)/3, (3+2+10)/3), which simplifies (0, 11 2/3, 5). ( NB: The centroid does not have to be--and rarely is---one of the original data points)The centroid is also sometimes called the center of mass or barycenter, based on its physical interpretation (it's the center of mass of an object defined by the points). Like the mean, the centroid's location minimizes the sum-squared distance from the other points. A related idea is the medoid, which is the data point that is \"\"least dissimilar\"\" from all of the other data points." }, { "docid": "D3508613#0", "title": "http://web1.cnre.vt.edu/lsg/Intro/trans.htm\nTransportation and Urban Growth: The Shaping of the American Metropolis", "text": "\"Transportation and Urban Growth: The Shaping of the American Metropolis By Peter 0.

In truth, the nation's largest single urban concentration today is not represented by the seven-plus million who agglomerate in New York City but rather by the 14 million who have settled in Gotham's vast, curvilinear outer city—a 50 mile-wide suburban band that stretches across Long Island, southwestern Connecticut, the Hudson Valley as far north as West Point, and most of New Jersey north of a line drawn from Trenton to Asbury Park. This latest episode of intrametropolitan deconcentration was fueled by the modern automobile and the interstate expressway. It is, however, merely the most recent of a series of evolutionary stages dating back to colonial times, wherein breakthroughs in transport technology unleashed forces that produced significant restructuring of the urban spatial form. The emerging form and structure of the American metropolis has been traced within a framework of four transportation-related eras.

The POM sets forth the policies, regulations, and procedures of the Postal Service governing delivery and vehicle operations. The revised procedures apply to new deliveries added to the delivery network; however, the revisions also provide updated language on centralized delivery equipment that may apply to current delivery points as well. This revision provides the Postal Service with autonomy in determining the modes of delivery when adding new deliveries, thereby enabling the Postal Service to provide services adequate and necessary to meeting its basic function in the most efficient manner. Controlling future costs begins with good base decisions whenever new deliveries are added to the delivery infrastructure. These include the mode of delivery and location and type of equipment, as well as the safety and convenience of both carriers and customers. Updated equipment references may be interchangeable such as replacing Neighborhood Delivery and Collection Box Unit (NDCBU) with Cluster Box Unit (CBU) to replace obsolete nomenclature. It is important to note that Postal Service representa tives are still required to meet with builders and developers early in the process to ensure the best choices are made and to assess if the mode of delivery directed to be put in place conforms to the policies of the Postal Service.

Overview Achieving higher density development in areas without public water or sewer service presents special circumstances and unique challenges. Conventional septic systems require permeable soils, adequate depth to groundwater and numerous setbacks to lot lines, drinking water wells and wetlands. These physical and regulatory requirements can preclude the clustering of development. However, there are also a number of technological and regulatory opportunities to address these challenges. They include shared systems (multiple homes on one septic system), innovative and alternative septic systems, and small sewage treatment plants. Careful site planning using techniques such as Open Space Residential Design (OSRD) and Low-Impact Development (LID) can identify and set aside optimal locations for wastewater facilities and drinking water sources, thereby allowing the remaining land to be developed at a higher density. The Problem Many of the smart growth techniques, including those that apply to rural areas, rely upon concentrating growth in higher-density configurations, such as a village or town center, and concurrently relieving development pressures in outlying areas that deserve preservation. Challenges to achieving this type of development pattern in rural areas often include wastewater treatment and disposal constraints, especially for on-site systems. There are also many existing small (non-conforming) lots along late shorelines that cause water quality problems." }, { "docid": "D575573#0", "title": "https://www.census.gov/dmd/www/glossary.html\nDecennial Management Division Glossary", "text": "\"Item Abbreviation/ Acronym Definition2010 Census Program for Evaluations and Experiments CPEXThe 2010 CPEX will involve evaluations, experiments, and operational assessments that ultimately will evaluate the 2010 Census and inform planning for post-census testing and research.

In UK planning practice, density is generally measured in dwellings per net hectare (dph), where the area includes developable residential land 1. ( Based on Rogers, 1997)There has been much previous work on the density and sustainability topic. Newman and Kenworthy (1989, 1999) famously developed the relationship between higher density and lower energy consumption for major world cities. The ways of achieving higher residential densities in design quality terms has been examined by many authors, including Rogers (1997), and has been influential on the urban renaissance movement. A number of principles can be derived, with a focus on raising the density of development, particularly around public transport nodes: Transport energy consumption and CO2 emissions are generally lower at higher densities. Higher densities lead to greater scope for viable public transport services. Density can be an important factor in reducing car use in terms of both mode share and distance travelled. There is continued discussion as to appropriate density levels. PPS3 (DCLG, 2006) advises an indicative minimum of 30 dph." }, { "docid": "D3531984#0", "title": "https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2015/pb22426/html/updt_003.htm\n.", "text": "POM Revision: Delivery Services Effective October 15, 2015, the Postal Service ™ is revising Postal Operations Manual (POM) parts 623, 631, and 632 to update policies regarding Delivery Services.

The focus of this study is to assess the contribution of open waste dumping in soil contamination and its effect on plant diversity in one of the renowned green cities of Pakistan. Surface soil samples ( n = 12 + 12) were collected from both the open waste dumping areas allocated by Capital Development Authority (CDA) and sub- sectors of H-belt of Islamabad city (representative of control site). The diversity of vegetation was studied at both sampling sites. Significant modifications were observed in the soil properties of the dumping sites. Soils at the disposal sites showed high p H, TDS and EC regime in comparison to control sites. Various heavy metal concentrations i.e., Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr) and Zinc (Zn) were also found to be higher at the dumping sites except for Cadmium (Cd) which had a higher value in control site. A similar trend was observed in plant diversity. Control sites showed diversified variety of plants i.e., 44 plant species while this number reduced to only 32 plant species at the disposal sites.

Refraction may be defined as the bending of waves when they enter a medium where their speed is different. Since the speed of light is slower in a glass lens than in air, a light ray will be bent upon entering and upon exiting a lens in a way that depends upon the shape and curvature of the lens. In the case of a converging lens such as the double convex lens shown below, parallel rays will be brought together at a point. The distance from the lens to this principal focus point is called the focal length of the lens and will be designated by the symbol f. A converging lens may be used to project an image of a lighted object. For example, the converging lens in a slide projector is used to project an image of a photographic slide on a screen, and the converging lens in the eye of the viewer in turn projects an image of the screen on the retina in the back of the eye. There is a geometrical relationship between the focal length of a lens (f), the distance from the lens to the bright object (o) and the distance from the lens to the projected image (i). The relationship between the distances illustrated in Figure 2 can be expressed as This relationship will be used to determine the focal length of a glass lens, and will be used as the basis for a qualitative investigation of image formation by the eye with the use of a large eye model. I. Image formation by a lens; determination of focal length.1. Position the lens and white screen on the optical bench and place them so that the distance from the lighted \"\"object\"\" to the lens can be measured on the bench scale." }, { "docid": "D3409647#0", "title": "http://www.gemplers.com/tech/iecmeters.htm\nEC Meters", "text": "EC Meters All about Electrical Conductivity in Agriculture EC stands for Electrical Conductivity, or the ability of a solution to conduct electricity.

When it comes to size, buyers can choose from small circular tables meant to seat just a few in an intimate setting, to large rectangular tables meant to seat 10 or more. When buying a dining table, shoppers need to consider the size of the room to ensure that there is sufficient space for guests to sit and move about. Another factor is how many people can be seated around a particular shape of table. Finally, buyers need to consider dining chairs, which can also affect how many people can be seated. While bricks and mortar shops are a common choice for people who wish to buy a dining table, shopping online through an auction site, such as e Bay is another viable option, with a wide variety of items to choose from.

A human care taker gene produces a protein called breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein, responsible for repairing DNA. BRCA1 is expressed in the cells of breast and other tissue, where it helps repair damaged DNA, or destroy cells if DNA cannot be repaired. If BRCA1 itself is damaged, damaged DNA is not repaired properly and this increases risks for cancers (see BRCA mutation). Tumor suppressor gene What is BRCA2? BRCA 2- carries out instructions to make a protein. BRCA2 belongs to the tumor suppressor gene family, and orthologs have been identified in most mammals for which complete genome data are available.

In the United States Air Force, a system of Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC) is used. In the United States Navy, a system of naval ratings and designators are used along with the Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) system. Since an individual can obtain multiple job specialties, a duty military occupational specialty (DMOS) is used to identify what their primary job function is at any given time. An individual must complete and pass all required training for their military occupational specialty qualification (MOSQ).

Army categorizes the hundreds of possible jobs it offers Share Flip Pin Share Email By Rod Powers Updated April 03, 2017If you are ever discussing military professions with anyone in the Army, you will likely get a number and a letter answer and hear the term MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) used describe their job. The complete MOS list is too long to memorize, but there are some very common MOS that are part of the lexicon, that you should learn if you have a close loved one in the Army. The U. S. Army categorizes the jobs performed by enlisted personnel under what's called the Military Occupational Specialty, or MOS, system. Every MOS is known by its code. In fact, most military members will use this code to describe their job to people who ask what they do in the military. For instance, an Army Infantryman will say he is an 11B (Eleven Bravo). A 68W (Sixty-Eight Whiskey) is known as a combat medic in the Army and in other military circles as well. An 18D (Eighteen Delta) is an Army Special Forces Medic. These codes are so common they become part of the vocabulary of active duty and veterans alike.

Chemo brain is characterized by reduced verbal ability, impaired decision making, faulty short-term memory and other deficits. Chemo brain is the result of brain damage, much of which heals over time and some of which appears to persist for decades. However, chemo brain does not appear to set the stage for Alzheimer's disease in old age. While there are no specific treatments for chemo brain, breast cancer survivors can adopt coping strategies to address its symptoms. Symptoms of chemo brain At least one-third of women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer experience chemo brain during treatment and for some time afterwards. Studies using standard psychological testing have reported that chemotherapy reduces verbal ability, slows cognitive processing speed, impairs executive functioning, and reduces psychomotor processing speed. Cognitive processing speed refers to the ability to automatically and fluently perform relatively easy or routine cognitive tasks, especially when high mental efficiency (i.e., attention and focused concentration) is required. Executive functioning refers to the ability to organize thoughts and prioritize tasks, manage time well, make plans, and adapt to changing situations.

Related MOSs are grouped together by Career Management Fields (CMF). For example, an enlisted soldier with MOSC 11B works as an infantryman (his MOS), and is part of CMF 11 (the CMF for infantry). Commissioned officers are classified by their area of concentration, or AOC. Just like enlisted MOSCs, AOCs are two digits plus a letter. Related AOCs are grouped together by specific branch of the Army or by broader in scope functional areas (FA). Typically, an officer will start in an AOC of a specific branch and move up to an FA AOC. Warrant officers are classified by warrant officer military occupational specialty, or WOMOS.

CMMS stands for Computerized Maintenance Management System (or Software) and is sometimes referred to as Enterprise Asset Management (EAM). To better understand what a CMMS is, we will break the term down into each individual component. Computerized Computerized refers to the fact that with a CMMS, your maintenance data is stored on a computer. This is hardly a surprising concept today. Before the 1980s, however, maintenance data was generally recorded with a pencil and paper. Because of this, maintenance was largely reactive rather than proactive. That is, maintenance was performed only when something went wrong. Preventive maintenance was less common because it was unrealistic to track which assets needed routine maintenance when all of your asset’s maintenance records were kept in a filing cabinet. When CMMS solutions came into fruition in the late 80s and early 90s, organizations began to migrate from pencil/paper and to their computers." } ]	[ { "docid": "D3065550#0", "title": "https://www.hippocmms.com/work-order-management-software\nWork Order Software Thatâs Easy to Use", "text": "Work Order Software That’s Easy to Use Hippo offers a seamless work order software platform designed to simply and expedite routine work orders.

Genest Probe system selection is critical to achieving themaximum benefits from coordinate metrology. C oordinate measuring machines offer one of the most effective ways to establish and maintain manufacturing process control. Two qualities distinguish CMMs from other measuring systems&emdash;the ability to quickly and accurately capture and evaluate dimensional data, and providing the operator with meaningful information concerning the condition of the manufacturing process. Choosing the right CMM for any application requires considering several factors. For example, the size, weight and shape of the parts to be measured is important in choosing a CMM with the appropriate configuration, i.e., fixed or moving bridge, horizontal arm, cantilever, gantry or portable. Because direct computer-controlled CMM's movements are controlled automatically through motorized axes drives, it is better suited than a manual machine to applications requiring high accuracy and repeatability. Does the CMM's software interface permit operators of all skill levels to use the equipment with equal success? Can the dimensional data be interfaced easily with CAD/CAM systems to create an integrated measuring/inspection/process control program? Just as important as any of these considerations is the choice of the device that the machine uses to gather data. CMMs measure work piece dimensions by moving a sensing device, called a probe, in the machine's 3-D measuring envelope, i.e., the X, Y and Z axes, until the probe contacts with the work piece feature to be measured." }, { "docid": "D2947576#0", "title": "http://www.cityworks.com/2013/02/the-2012-comparative-review-of-municipal-maintenance-and-infrastructure-asset-management-systems/\nThe 2012 Comparative Review of Municipal Maintenance and Infrastructure Asset Management Systems", "text": "The 2012 Comparative Review of Municipal Maintenance and Infrastructure Asset Management Systems The Water Finance Research Foundation conducted an industry-wide comparative analysis of core maintenance management and infrastructure asset management functions was completed for the following 14 software systems in alphabetic order: Accela, Agile Assets, Azteca System’s Cityworks, Cartegraph, Cityview, Energov, IBM’s Maximo, Infor/Hansen, Lucity/GBA, Maintenance Connection, Novotx’s Elements, Oracle, Pubworks and Vueworks.

S. Department of Defense, who funded the research. The term \"\"maturity\"\" relates to the degree of formality and optimization of processes, from ad hoc practices, to formally defined steps, to managed result metrics, to active optimization of the processes. The model's aim is to improve existing software development processes, but it can also be applied to other processes.

The model is based on the process maturity framework first described in IEEE Software [2] and, later, in the 1989 book Managing the Software Process by Watts Humphrey. It was later published in a report in 1993 [3] and as a book by the same authors in 1995. Though the model comes from the field of software development, it is also used as a model to aid in business processes generally, and has also been used extensively worldwide in government offices, commerce, and industry.

To produce interchangeable parts in a manufacturing environment, the design must be sound enough to allow mating parts to work correctly. Furthermore, the industrial process must be robust enough to produce parts called out in design in an efficient and predictable manner. Likewise, measurement of the final parts must be done easily and with confidence to verify the in-process or final products. For example, inspecting a bore in an open setup often requires multiple measurement steps and mathematical calculations. Portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) technology can alleviate much of this work by allowing the user to fix the part in one spot, take several points to create an alignment of x and y axes, and measure the bore. Software is then able to determine the position of the bore and its deviation from the called out position. Traditionally, to find the deviation from a feature’s true position (sometimes simply called the position), the \"\"open setup\"\" is used. This process involves the use of calipers, height gauges, micrometers, and other hand tools used in conjunction with an inspection plate to take measurements and compare the feature’s position to datums. Following the appropriate measurements, the true position diametrical deviation, D, must then be calculated via the following mathematical formula (equation 1): D = 2 { (Δx)2 + (Δy)2}1/2, where Δx = the deviation from the true position along the x-axis, and Δy = the deviation from the true position along the y-axis Consider the following situation (shown in figure 1 below), which is one of the simplest examples using the open setup method." }, { "docid": "D2402099#0", "title": "http://www.capterra.com/real-estate-property-management-software/\nBuildium Property Management Software", "text": "\"Add to Compare Buildium Property Management Softwareby Buildium (521 reviews)Visit Website Buildium is the only property management software designed by property managers for property managers.

We have been asked to write a report on a CMM - it's structure, probe, etc. I am picking bits and pieces from the net but I'm confused over a few points: 1. What are the steps involved in measuring a part, is the first thing to calibrated the probe? 2. How and why do we align the axes - and what is the importance of this? 3. When our lecturer gave us a demonstration, he aligned the z axis.

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a process used to determine what must be done to ensure that physical assets continue to do what its users want in its present operating context. Ultimately, by performing RCM, organizations are looking to develop unique maintenance schedules for each critical asset within a facility or organization. There are four basic principles of an RCM program, stated in different ways by organizations all over the world. A program is RCM if it: 1) Is scoped and structured to preserve system function 2) Identifies failure modes, which are the ways in which something might fail. Failures are any errors or defects, especially ones that affect the customer, and can be potential or actual 3) Addresses failure modes by importance 4) Defines applicable maintenance task candidates and selects the most effective one in the case of important failure modes Industry professionals have described an RCM program as:“The best way to develop a maintenance improvement program improvement program.” – A. M. Smith A process that “uses a cross-functional team to develop a complete maintenance strategy designed to ensure inherent design reliability for a process or piece of equipment.” – Doug Plucknett A way “to identify components whose functional failures can cause unwanted consequences to one's plant or facility.” – Neil Bloom When is a Maintenance Program considered “Reliability Centered”?

A practical example transforming HL7 V2.x messages to HL7 v3 is provided at the end, with the goal of giving the reader some hands-on practical experience with Mirth Connect. This paper addresses the main challenge of using Mirth Connect, which is the paucity of free documentation and tutorials on its various features. Mirth Design Pattern In Mirth, a number of Channels are created that read the information from a Source location (file directory, a SOAP web service, a TCP/IP socket, an FTP location, etc); in a format (HL7 V2.x or 3, NCPDP, XML, My SQL, Excel file, etc); then optionally validate the input using Filters and optionally transform its data items using Transformations before sending it to one or more Destinations. Each destination can optionally perform its own transformation before sending the message out in any of the supported formats to any of the supported locations. Mirth is designed so that the bulk of these tasks can be done with minimum to no knowledge of programming by drag and dropping the items of interest, however for extraordinary or very complex scenarios it also provides the ability to extend functionality through programming. State of Problem Integration is one of the most challenging issues of healthcare information technology. It has long been recognized that the value from investments in information technology would not be realized if products fail to integrate both within and across business domains (Henderson, J. C., & Venkatraman, N. 1993). In Healthcare, the diversity of requirements and versatility of data items, the privacy and security concerns, the reluctance of data custodians and healthcare organizations to share, and the paucity of successful generic best practices makes it even more difficult to integrate healthcare solutions and derive the maximum possible value form the information gathered from different healthcare sources." }, { "docid": "D490916#0", "title": "https://www.brennerchildrens.org/KidsHealth/Parents/Cancer-Center/Diagnostic-Tests/Blood-Test-Comprehensive-Metabolic-Panel-CMP.htm\nBlood Test: Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)", "text": "Blood Test: Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)What's in this Article?

Your babies Health Care Professional should take a full history of your baby's symptoms, from when they began to the present day. Be sure to include all of the relevant symptoms from the list on the Symptoms page as they will assist in making an informed diagnosis. Your family history should also be taken into consideration when daignosing food allergies in babies - a baby with parents or siblings with allergies (inc. asthma & eczema) is much more likely to suffer from allergies themselves. A good knowledge of your family history is not only important for diagnosis, but can also help determine the type of eliminaton diet you are advised to follow if breast feeding, or the type of formula prescribed if you are formula feeding." }, { "docid": "D170589#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/what-does-basic-metabolic-panel-include\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: What Does Basic Metabolic Panel Include", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: What Does Basic Metabolic Panel Include Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Steven Tucker2 doctors agreed:1 Basic metabolic panel test - should I fast overnight for it?

Overview A comprehensive metabolic panel, or CMP, is a blood test that is often ordered by physicians as part of a routine physical exam. The blood test is used to assess liver and kidney functions and to help diagnose medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. This test is also used to monitor patients who take medications that may cause side effects related to liver or kidney function.

The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a proposed rule on June 14, 2013, (Proposed Rule) that offers new provisions and clarifications covering a wide range of topics relating to Health Insurance Exchanges, the Premium Stabilization Programs and other health insurance market reforms. The Proposed Rule also imposes new requirements and obligations for state-based Health Insurance Exchanges (State Exchanges) and health insurance issuers offering Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) through State Exchanges and federally-facilitated Health Insurance Exchanges (FFEs, and collectively with State Exchanges, Exchanges), despite the fact that health plans’ applications to participate in Exchanges already have been submitted and enrollment begins in mere months. HHS leaves unanswered several critical questions, such as whether health insurance issuers offering QHPs (QHP Issuers) through FFEs will have an opportunity (and the time) to appeal HHS’s decision not to certify a QHP for the 2014 (or subsequent) benefit year. Comments on the Proposed Rule, which was published in the Federal Register on June 19, 2013, are due to HHS on July 19, 2013. HHS Introduces “Program Integrity” Provisions for Issuers and States HHS imposes new operational and contracting requirements and enforcement mechanisms for QHP Issuers participating in FFEs. The Proposed Rule also proposes new oversight and program integrity requirements for states operating their own risk adjustment and reinsurance programs as well as for State Exchanges. These developments are not surprising, given HHS’s approach to administering the Medicare Advantage and Part D Programs, although some of the requirements seem to blur the distinction between HHS’s administration of federal entitlement programs versus federally-administered marketplaces. Issuers Face New Compliance Obligations, Including Responsibility for Contractors Borrowing from the Medicare Advantage and Part D Programs, HHS proposes new oversight and contractual requirements for QHP Issuers with regard to their contractors and subcontractors –“Delegated Entities” and “Downstream Entities” in Exchange parlance. These definitions include providers of both administrative and health care services, and therefore are inclusive of hospitals, accountable care organizations and other health care providers with which QHP Issuers contract." }, { "docid": "D3322415#0", "title": "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1986152/why-doesnt-python-have-a-sign-function\n.", "text": "\"Join Stack Overflow to learn, share knowledge, and build your career. Email Sign Upor sign in with Google Facebook Why doesn't Python have a sign function? Ask Questionup vote162down votefavorite27I can't understand why Python doesn't have a sign function. It has an abs builtin (which I consider sign 's sister), but no sign. In python 2.6 there is even a copysign function (in math ), but no sign. Why bother to write a copysign (x,y) when you could just write a sign and then get the copysign directly from abs (x) * sign (y)? The latter would be much more clear: x with the sign of y, whereas with copysign you have to remember if it's x with the sign of y or y with the sign of x!Obviously sign (x) does not provide anything more than cmp (x,0), but it would be much more readable that this too (and for a greatly readable language like python, this would have been a big plus). If I were a python designer, I would been the other way arond: no cmp builtin, but a sign. When you need cmp (x,y), you could just do a sign (x-y) (or, even better for non-numerical stuff, just a x>y - of course this should have required sorted accepting a boolean instead of an integer comparator). This would also be more clear: positive when x>y (whereas with cmp you have to remember the convention positive when the first is bigger, but it could be the other way around)." }, { "docid": "D3287323#0", "title": "https://iytmed.com/cmp-blood-test/\nCMP Blood Test", "text": "CMP Blood Test A comprehensive metabolic panel is a group of blood tests.

Samsung TV is proud to be the pioneer of CMR methodology, and we think it is a great way to get amazing picture quality through the simplest means available. What is CMR? Clear Motion Rate is a motion clarity standard put forth by Samsung Televisions in order to replace what is commonly known as the \"\"refresh rate\"\" associated with many televisions. This is especially helpful when watching quickly moving scenes or high action content, as standard TV is often inaccurate when measuring the resolution of a moving scene. How does CMR work? Refresh rate is a quality of your display's panel speed, but it isn't the only factor in producing a clear motion picture. So even though different televisions might have similar panel refresh rate speeds, Samsung TV adds factors to assure you'll get the best resolution from a moving scene. Here are the components that serve as the basis for Samsung CMR: Hyper Real Engine – This engine for Samsung Televisions processes moving images to reach the optimal image quality. Advanced Backlight System – The advanced backlight of LED/LCD screens works in harmony with the Hyper Real Engine to deliver crisp and reactive backlight to a moving scene." }, { "docid": "D1482142#0", "title": "http://www.ambanet.net/cmrs.htm\nCMRS Certification", "text": "CMRS Information for medical billing certification Purpose of the CMRS Exam The purpose of this certification is to promote ethical and professional medical billing through certification of qualified individuals. This voluntary credential formally recognizes a medical biller’s competency and proficiency, encourages continued professional and personal best development, and provides a national standard assessment based on industry knowledge. Exam Overview Created in 2000, it is the longest standing and most thorough exam for professional medical billers. Other exams offered to medical billers are newly released, offer a fraction of the questions, are sometimes more expensive, and are offered by associations that primarily focus on medical coding, a separate industry from medical billing. The CMRS designation is awarded by the Certifying Board of the American Medical Billing Association (CBAMBA). Currently, no state or Federal requirements exist stating a medical biller must be certified to practice medical billing. However, most providers are requiring their billers be certified. Your certification demonstrates to physicians and employers that you are proactive in advancing your education and skills. Certified Medical Reimbursement Specialists (CMRS) facilitate the claims paying process, from the time a service is rendered by a health care provider, until the balance is paid.

Medical coding certification will give you a distinct advantage in reaching your goals. Further in this article, we also provide guidance for medical billing certification for those who want information on that distinct career as well. Coding Certification You can choose from several national organizations that offer certification: American Health Information Management Association The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) offers various medical coding certifications, including the Certified Coding Associate (CCA), Certified Coding Specialist (CCS), and Certified Coding Specialist – Physician-based (CCS-P) credentials. The only requirement for the CCA exam, in addition to AHIMA membership and an application fee, is a high school diploma or an equivalent educational background. To pass the exam, AHIMA recommends that you have at least six months of experience applying coding at a healthcare organization, have attended an AHIMA-approved coding certificate program, or have completed another formal coding training program. If you are interested in the more specialized CCS or CCS-P exams, AHIMA strongly recommends that you obtain at least three years of experience in a hospital or other physician-based setting where you can apply coding systems to various cases.

It consists of Massachusetts General Laws (M. G. L.) Chapter 40B, Sections 20 through 23, along with associated regulations issued and administered by the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development. [ 2] [3] Chapter 40B was enacted in 1969 to address the shortage of affordable housing statewide by reducing barriers created by local municipal building permit approval processes, local zoning, and other restrictions. Its goal is to encourage the production of affordable housing in all communities throughout the Commonwealth. For the purposes of this statute, affordable housing is defined as a unit which could be purchased or rented by a household making up to 80% of the median income of the area. Such housing must be subject to affordable housing restrictions to preserve affordability in the long term.

Chapter 40B continues to be controversial and it has not overcome the multiple barriers that exist to building affordable housing in the state.

Massachusetts has an unique unposted limit law. If a limit is not posted outside of a thickly settled area, you are not speeding unless you exceed 50 (divided highway) or 40 (undivided) for a quarter mile. In a thickly settled area other than a school zone, exceeding 30 for an eighth of a mile is speeding. MGL 90-1 defines: \"\"Thickly settled or business district\"\", the territory contiguous to any way which is built up with structures devoted to business, or the territory contiguous to any way where the dwelling houses are situated at such distances as will average less than two hundred feet between them for a distance of a quarter of a mile or over.

However, designers often incorrectly apply them. Specifically, although modern in amps have excellent CMR (common-mode rejection), designers must limit the total common-mode voltage, plus the signal voltage, to avoid saturating the amplifier's internal input buffers. Unfortunately, they often overlook this requirement. Other common application problems result from driving the in-amp reference terminal with a high-impedance source, operating low-supply-voltage in-amp circuits at gains that are much too high, ac coupling in-amp inputs without providing a dc return path to ground, and using mismatched RC-input-coupling components. A quick in-amp primer An in amp is a closed-loop-gain block with a differential input and a single-ended output. In amps also typically have a reference input that allows the user to level-shift the output voltage up or down. You use one or more internal or external resistors to set gain. Figure 1 shows a bridge-preamplifier circuit, a typical in-amp application. When sensing a signal, the bridge-resistor values change, unbalancing the bridge and causing a change in differential voltage across it." }, { "docid": "D1422802#0", "title": "http://www.deliver-it.biz/2008/07/what-does-cmr-mean/\nCourier InfoAnswers to a few FAQs and a few useful tips", "text": "What does CMR mean?

In particular, this guide will help pass-through entities with Massachusetts-source income determine whether they should be withholding tax on distributive share amounts allocated to their members, and if so, how much to withhold. The goal of pass-through entity withholding is the same as the goal of wage withholding: to withhold an amount that is substantially equivalent to the tax amount reasonably estimated to be due. The program is authorized under chapter 62B, § 2 of the general laws, and is in effect for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. We hope that you find this guide helpful and urge you to contact us directly if you need further assistance. Description of the Program The pass-through entity compliance program allows members of pass-through entities subject to this program to choose how they will meet their Massachusetts tax obligations. The compliance program also requires pass-through entities to report to DOR how their members plan to comply. The pass-through entity compliance program allows non-exempt members of pass-through entities subject to this program to meet their tax obligation by: agreeing to file and to subject themselves to personal jurisdiction in Massachusetts; participating in a composite return by the pass-through entity; or having the pass-through entity withhold and pay tax on their behalf. These three options are explained more fully below. The compliance program generally exempts the following members: Massachusetts resident individuals, most Massachusetts estates and trusts; federally tax-exempt organizations; corporations subject to Massachusetts taxing jurisdiction filing their returns including any distributive share from the pass-through entity; pass-through entities that are filing a return; and insurance companies." }, { "docid": "D2723761#0", "title": "http://www.unitis.org/en/hazardous-and-cmr-substances,209.html\nCMR & dangerous substances", "text": "CMR & dangerous substances Hazardous and CMR substances are concerned by both CLP Regulation and Cosmetics Regulation. Hazardous/CMR substances and CLP: CLP Regulation No 1272/2008 is the European Regulation on C lassification, L abelling and P ackaging of chemical substances and mixtures. This Regulation, entered into force on 20 January 2009, aligns the EU classification system to the UN Globally Harmonised System (Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) ensuring that the same hazards are described and labelled in the same way all around the world. The CLP Regulation - which is directly coming into force in all EU Members States and is legally binding - will gradually replace the Dangerous Substances Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and the Dangerous Preparations Directive 1999/45/EC (DPD) after a transitional period, i.e. on 1 December 2010 for substances and 1 June 2015 for mixtures. It aims to protect workers, consumers and the environment by means of labelling which reflect hazards of chemicals. In hazardous chemical substances legislation (CLP), a CMR substance is a substance classified in Part 3 of Annex VI to CLP Regulation as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction. Annex VI which lists the hazardous substances for which harmonized classification and labelling has been adopted at the Community level, has been yet updated by two Commission’s Adaptations to Technical Progress, the Commission Regulation No 790/2009 that entered into force on 25 September 2009 and the Commission Regulation No 286/2011 that entered into force on 19 April 2011. CLP defines new CMR categories: CATEGORY 1 A (formerly 1): Classification is based on human evidence (epidemiological data),CATEGORY 1 B (formerly 2): Classification is based on animal evidence,CATEGORY 2 (formerly 3): Classification based on the evidence obtained from human and/or animal studies, but which is not sufficiently convincing to place the substance in Category 1A or 1B. With CLP, a mixture is classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction of category 1A, 1B or 2 if it contains a component classified as CMR at a concentration equal or upper to concentration limits defined in Annex 1 to CLP. CMR & Cosmetics Regulation Regulation No 1223/2009, the new European regulatory framework for cosmetics entered into force on 11 January 2010. Streamlining terminology and simplifying the process of placing a cosmetic product on the EU market, it is a recast of Council Directive 76/768/EEC which will be repealed progressively." }, { "docid": "D3265836#0", "title": "http://www.gard.no/web/updates/content/52588/the-missing-bill-of-lading\nThe missing bill of lading", "text": "\"INSIGHT 152, 199801 DEC 1998Unfortunately for the shipowner, the bill in question, rather like the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, is often late and sometimes never makes it to the party at all. This was confirmed by the Master in the case of the \"\"SAGONA\"\" 1, when he advised the court that in his 14 years of sailing as a Master, he had never seen a bill of lading! The case of the missing bill has led to various practices designed to enable the shipowner to deliver the cargo, all of which, for one reason or another, are largely unsatisfactory from the shipowner's point of view. The background to this difficult and perennial problem is the pivotal role of the negotiable bill of lading in international trade arising from its use, developed by custom, as a document of title. In effect, possession of the negotiable bill of lading amounts to constructive possession of the goods represented by that bill of lading, thereby enabling it to be used, inter alia, to sell the goods on (sometimes several times) while they are still in transit. The negotiable bill of lading is therefore fundamental to international trade. The shipowner is under an obligation to deliver the cargo to the person entitled to it. In the face of the various endorsements (or even one endorsement) on a bill of lading, he is presented with a dilemma as to whether the party claiming delivery is, in fact, so entitled. Recognising the shipowner's problem, the English courts have devised principles designed to enable him to deliver the cargo safely. The most important of these is that, where a bill of lading has been issued, the shipowner is not obliged to surrender possession of the goods to any person except on production of the bill of lading 2." }, { "docid": "D3035060#0", "title": "http://www.dhl.ie/en/express/tracking/tracking_faq.html\nTracking FAQs", "text": "DHL Ireland \| Express \| Tracking \| Tracking FAQs Tracking FAQs Quick answers to common DHL Express tracking questions.

After much input from the CPA industry, the Board came to the conclusion that allowing candidates to sit for the exam at the point they earn a bachelor's degree and 120 semester hours, rather than the current 150 semester hours, is one step towards alleviating the shortage of CPAs in the Commonwealth. Bo PA members voted on September 28, 2006, to adopt amendments to 252 CMR, allowing candidates to sit for the CPA exam at 120 hours but to retain the current license requirement of 150 semester hours. On November 3, 2006, the rule was accepted by the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the rule changes become effective on January 1, 2007. The following are frequently asked questions on these various subjects. Exam Issues If I cannot sit for the CPA exam and my conditional credit is expiring, what can I do? The Board amended its rules to adopt conditional credit rules that are now far less stringent in the successful completion of the exam than under the former paper CPAS exam. 252 CMR 2.06 set forth that when a candidate passes the first part of the exam, he/she has a rolling 18 months (or six attempts to sit for the remaining three parts) to complete and pass all parts of the exam. The Computer Based Test (CBT) allows candidates to sit for one part of the exam at a time in any exam window, and pass that part to start the rolling 18 month period. This conditional credit rule is far easier than under the paper CPA exam, and as such, no discretion is allowed the Board by this new rule to grant additional sittings under conditional credit when the candidate passes three parts and has only one exam window remaining to complete and pass the last part of the exam." }, { "docid": "D744725#0", "title": "http://asheducationbook.hematologylibrary.org/content/2012/1/122.full\nASH Home ASH Store ASH AcademyMy Account Sign In", "text": "ASH Home ASH Store ASH Academy My Account Sign In Skip to main page content About Hematology Subscriptions CME and MOC FAQs Current Issue Archives Advanced Search Is going for cure in chronic myeloid leukemia possible and justifiable?

One major question is how to cure CML, and the next step for the future will be to address this key issue. CML is a good model of cancer. The fact that the majority of CML patients who respond very well but discontinue tyrosine kinase inhibitors later show evidence of molecular recurrence focuses attention on the need for further research on leukemic stem cells. The challenge now is to understand why, after stopping treatment, the leukemia recurs in some patients but not in others. If we win this battle, this progress will certainly benefit the treatment and management of other leukemias and solid tumors and will validate this new topic. Previous Section Next Section CML is a model disease Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is frequently taken as a model of cancer for many reasons. It is a hematopoietic stem cell disease characterized by the clonal expansion of terminally differentiated myeloid cells. The notion that cancer initiation or progression involves stem-like cells has been reinforced in recent years by the outstanding amount of work in solid tumors focusing on cancer stem cells." }, { "docid": "D3317808#0", "title": "http://www.hqmc.marines.mil/Agencies/Headquarters-and-Service-Battalion/S-4-Logistics/Supply-Office/CMRs-and-ROs/\nHeadquarters and Service Battalion", "text": "\"Responsible Officers - Appointed in writing by the Commanding Officer Authorized Recipient - Person appointed in writing by the RO to receipt for equipment on the RO's behalf.

I know doing the Visa part is the hardest thing and lot of people have doubts about when their passport will be ready after the Visa is approved. There is 90% chance that you would get the mail about passport pickup the next day after your interview. Say if your interview was on a Monday and it was approved, your passport will be ready at the Consulate at 2:30pm the next day (Tuesday). So the DHL will pickup the passport from the consulate the next day after you interview at 2:30pm. But you would not receive the Waybill number until the evening because it is DHL who has to generate the Waybill number. The time you would receive the mail from Loomis about the passport pickup varies. But, if you plan to be around the Courier office the next day evening between 5:30-7:00pm there is a chance you might receive your waybill number in the mail and pickup the passport immediately. Or if you could not pick it that evening you can always pick it up first thing the next day morning as soon as the office opens. I have seen some posts where people have picked up their passport without the waybill number." } ]

If your health practitioner suspects that you presently have, or recently had, a cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection or if it is important to know if you have ever had a CMV infection, such as prior to receiving an organ transplant When To Get Tested? When a young adult, a pregnant woman, or an immune-compromised person has flu-like symptoms that suggest a CMV infection; when a newborn has multiple congenital abnormalities, unexplained jaundice or anemia, and/or when an infant has seizures or developmental problems that may be due to CMV; prior to receiving an organ transplant Sample Required? A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm for CMV antibody testing; to detect the virus itself, the sample may be blood, urine, sputum, amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, duodenal fluid, or other body tissue Test Preparation Needed? None Looking for Test Results? Looking for Reference Ranges? What is being tested? Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that occurs widely throughout the population but rarely causes symptoms. In the United States, as many as 50-85% of adults have been infected with CMV.

Congenital CMV occurs when the infection is passed across the placenta from a pregnant woman to her developing baby. Some babies with congenital CMV infection show signs of disability at birth, while others are born healthy. Pregnant women diagnosed with primary CMV infection should be referred for specialist follow-up. Last updated: 11 January 2017What is CMV? Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus in the herpes virus family. Fifty per cent people have been infected by young adulthood and up to 85 per cent by 40 years of age. Peaks of infection occur in children less than 2 years age, and during adolescence. Once a person becomes infected, the virus remains alive but usually inactive (dormant) within that person’s body for life. It is rare for a person to get symptoms after the initial infection unless their immune system is weakened by severe illness and treatments (e.g. for cancer)." }, { "docid": "D3182069#0", "title": "http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cmv/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355364\nDiagnosis", "text": "Print Diagnosis Laboratory tests — including tests of blood and other body fluids or tests of tissue samples — can detect CMV virus. Screening and testing for your baby If you're pregnant, testing to determine whether you've ever been infected with CMV can be important. Pregnant women with antibodies have a very small chance of a reactivation infecting their unborn child. If your doctor detects a new CMV infection during pregnancy, a prenatal test (amniocentesis) can determine if the fetus has the infection. In amniocentesis your doctor obtains and examines a sample of amniotic fluid. Amniocentesis is generally recommended when abnormalities that might be caused by CMV are seen on ultrasound. If your doctor suspects your baby has congenital CMV, it's important to test the baby within the first three weeks of birth. After that, tests can't show your baby has congenital CMV because the baby might have contracted the infection by nursing or exposure to other people with the virus. If your baby has CMV, your doctor likely will recommend additional tests to check the health of the baby's organs, such as the liver and kidneys. Screening and testing if you have weakened immunity Testing for CMV can also be important if you have a weakened immune system." }, { "docid": "D592626#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/does-appendicitis-cause-high-liver-enzymes\nTop 40 Doctor insights on: Does Appendicitis Cause High Liver Enzymes", "text": "\"Top 40 Doctor insights on: Does Appendicitis Cause High Liver Enzymes Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Jay Rosenfeld1 doctor agreed:1 Is it possible for too much sex to cause high liver enzymes in blood?

( 1) Primary CMV infection in immunocompetent individuals may also manifest as a mononucleosis-type syndrome, similar to primary Epstein-Barr virus infection, with fever, malaise and lymphadenopathy. CMV is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among bone marrow or solid organ transplant recipients, individuals with AIDS and other immunosuppressed patients due to virus reactivation or from a newly acquired infection. ( 2,3) Infection in these patient populations can affect almost any organ and lead to multiorgan failure. CMV is also responsible for congenital disease among newborns and is one of the TORCH infections (toxoplasmosis, other infections including syphilis, rubella, CMV, and herpes simplex virus). CMV seroprevalence increases with age. In the United States the prevalence of CMV specific antibodies increases from approximately 36% to over 91% in adolescents between the ages of 6 to 11 and adults over 80 years old, respectively. ( 4)Reference Values CMV Ig M: Negative (reported as positive, negative, or equivocal)CMV Ig G: Negative (reported as positive, negative, or equivocal)Interpretation Ig M: A negative cytomegalovirus (CMV) Ig M result suggests that the patient is not experiencing a recent infection.

It infects most people at some point in their lives. It can be spread to children through body fluids like saliva, tears, urine, blood, and even breast milk. It is often transmitted during diaper changes, while bathing, and during other close contact. Teenagers and adults transmit the virus during close contact such as kissing and sexual intercourse. Cytomegalovirus is responsible for the most common congenital (present at birth) infection in the United States. Infants can contract CMV infections from their infected mothers, sometimes before birth when the virus is passed to the fetus through the placenta, or during delivery if the mother’s genital tract is infected. It can also be transmitted through CMV-infected breast milk. Children who have a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or whose immune system is weakened for another reason (e.g., because of cancer treatment) are also particularly susceptible to CMV infections and their complications. Once a person is infected, CMV stays within the person, usually in a resting or inactive (latent) state, and can intermittently become active and appear in that person’s secretions." }, { "docid": "D1889423#0", "title": "http://answers.webmd.com/answers/1198029/can-you-get-mono-twice\n", "text": "Posted: March 21, 2011 \| Report This \|Q.

Yes, you can, but very few people do. Mononucleosis is usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Symptoms usually include fever, swollen and painful tonsils, and enlarged lymph nodes. Fatigue and low energy can last for weeks or months. More than 90% of us eventually catch EBV, usually during adolescence or early adulthood. In many people, the illness is mild, and may never be diagnosed as mono. Infection by EBV generally results in lifelong immunity—you can only have EBV mono once. There’s also a less common form of mononucleosis, caused by infection by cytomegalovirus (CMV). In one study of people with mono, about one out of seven had mono caused by CMV; the rest had typical EBV mononucleosis." }, { "docid": "D2768203#0", "title": "http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cmv/symptoms-causes/syc-20355358\nOverview", "text": "Overview Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that can infect almost anyone. Once infected, your body retains the virus for life. Most people don't know they have CMV because it rarely causes problems in healthy people. But if you're pregnant or have a weakened immune system, CMV is cause for concern. A woman who develops an active CMV infection during pregnancy can pass the virus to her baby, who might then experience signs and symptoms. For people with compromised immunity, especially due to organ transplantation, CMV infection can be fatal. CMV spreads from person to person through body fluids, such as blood, saliva, urine, semen and breast milk. There's no cure for the virus. However, medications can help treat newborns and people with weak immune systems. Symptoms Most people infected with CMV who are otherwise healthy experience few if any signs and symptoms." }, { "docid": "D3321902#0", "title": "https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0147956397900777\nCase studies in infectious diseasePostpericardiotomy syndrome", "text": "\"Heart & Lung: The Journal of Acute and Critical Care Volume 26, Issue 2, March–April 1997, Pages 165-168Case studies in infectious disease Postpericardiotomy syndrome Simon E.

Postpericardiotomy syndrome and post-myocardial infarction syndrome are autoimmune disorders characterized by eosinophilia, pleuritic chest pain, and pleural effusions.

Fautin and Sandra L. Romano Tree following Werner (1973) and Bridge et al. ( 1995). Containing group: Animals Introduction The exclusively aquatic phylum Cnidaria is represented by polyps such as sea anemones and corals, and by medusae such as jellyfish. A polypoid or a medusoid cnidarian is a radially or biradially symmetrical, uncephalized animal with a single body opening, the mouth. The mouth is surrounded by tentacles studded with microscopic stinging capsules known as nematocysts that are the agents of offense and defense. The possession of intrinsic nematocysts is the defining characteristic of the phylum (Hessinger and Lenhoff 1988); nematocysts are the most diverse and widespread of three types of cnidae (cnidos = thread) -- hence the preferred name of the phylum. Cnidarians are diploblastic -- that is, the body and tentacles consist of two cell layers, the endoderm (sometimes referred to as the gastrodermis) and the ectoderm (the epidermis). Between the two cell layers is the mesoglea, which ranges from little more than a glue to bind the layers (for example, in Hydra) to the vast bulk of the animal (for example, in jellyfish of Class Scyphozoa). The body encompasses a single sac-like body space, the coelenteron (koilos = cavity; enteron = intestine), which communicates with the surrounding medium through the mouth. The less preferred name of the phylum, Coelenterata, is based on this attribute." }, { "docid": "D553259#0", "title": "http://waynesword.palomar.edu/trnov01.htm\nMajor Phyla Of Animals", "text": "\"The following phyla of multicellular animals (called metazoans) are usually included in general biology courses. Remember that the botanical counterpart of a phylum is called a division. Unicellular animals (called protozoans) are usually placed in the kingdom Protista along with the divisions of unicellular and multicellular algae. True multicellular animals are typically without cellulose cell walls and photosynthetic pigments, and they form diploid embryos developing from a blastula stage. The blastula is a hollow, fluid-filled sphere bounded by a single layer of cells surrounding a central cavity or blastocoel. The blastula develops from a spherical cluster of cells called a morula. In addition, animals are capable of locomotion or body movement by means of contractile muscle tissue. In a cross sectional view, animal embryos are composed of an outer layer called ectoderm, a middle layer or mesoderm, and an internal layer or endoderm that surrounds the digestive cavity. Multicellular animals are heterotrophic by ingestion of food into a body cavity (coelom) that is completely lined by the mesoderm. Primitive phyla without a true coelom include the Porifera and Coelenterata (Cnidaria)." }, { "docid": "D2724876#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_long_do_jellyfish_stings_last\nHow long do jellyfish stings last?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Cnidarians Jellyfish How long do jellyfish stings last?

And my husband, sensitive '90s type though he is, feared that I was putting myself and our baby in peril for the sake of some feminist ideal. But to me, a hospital birth with a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) -- a registered nurse with a master's degree or certificate in midwifery, the art of delivering babies -- was a way to get the best of both worlds: modern technology and natural medicine. I would experience a midwife's supportive care in a comfortable birthing room, just a few feet away from the emergency medical equipment I hoped wouldn't be needed. As it turned out, I had a difficult labor, but my midwife was there for me every step of the way. She encouraged me to experiment with different positions. She told me to hang in there when it became apparent that I was dilating slowly. And after several hours of painful contractions that didn't spur any progress in labor, she supported my decision to opt for Pitocin and an epidural." }, { "docid": "D2667691#0", "title": "https://www.ameritech.edu/blog/highest-paying-nursing-specialties/\nThe 7 Highest-Paying Nursing Specialties", "text": "The 7 Highest-Paying Nursing Specialties1 year ago When you first decided to become a nurse, you might have thought of nursing as a general job title in a high-paying field.

[ 1] Originally enacted as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) 1986, EMTALA was developed in response to concerns that some hospital/emergency departments were refusing to treat medically indigent or uninsured patients or inappropriately transferring these persons to other facilities. EMTALA applies to all hospitals that participate in Medicare. The purpose of the law is to ensure that patients with medical emergencies, including women in labor, are not denied treatment based on any reason other than those that reflect the hospital's capacity to examine, conduct tests, and treat the emergency condition. The courts have consistently applied EMTALA to prohibit any discriminatory treatment of patients, regardless of motive. [ 2]EMTALA imposes specific obligations on health care providers who offer triage care: 1) to perform a medical screening examination to determine whether an emergency medical condition exists; 2) to provide necessary stabilizing treatment when an emergency medical condition exists; and 3) to stabilize the patient, or if the physician certifies that the benefits of transfer outweigh the risks, arrange for proper transfer to another hospital. EMTALA also prohibits hospitals from delaying the medical screening examination and stabilizing treatment to inquire about the patient's insurance coverage or means of payment. EMTALA violations carry stiff penalties described in Table 1 . Medical Screening Examination The medical screening examination required by EMTALA may be conducted by a physician or by qualified medical personnel. A qualified medical personnel is an individual who has been determined to be qualified by the hospital bylaws or rules and regulations and is practicing within the scope of his or her licensure." }, { "docid": "D644876#0", "title": "http://www.midwife.org/Become-a-Midwife\n.", "text": "Return to Education-and-Careers > Career Resources Become a Midwife About the Midwifery Profession Midwives are primary health care providers to women throughout the lifespan.

Some programs leading to the CNM credential require a BSN prior to entry, but many will accept an individual who has a Bachelors Degree but is not an RN, and will provide an accelerated nursing education prior to the midwifery portion of the program.

A midwife is a trained professional with special expertise in supporting women to maintain a healthy pregnancy birth, offering expert individualized care, education, counseling and support to a woman and her newborn throughout the childbearing cycle. A midwife works with each woman and her family to identify their unique physical, social and emotional needs. When the care required is outside the midwife's scope of practice or expertise, the woman is referred to other health care providers for additional consultation or care. The Midwives Alliance of North America, the North American Registry of Midwives, the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council and Citizens for Midwifery agreed on a short definition of what \"\"midwifery care\"\" means. However, just because a person is a midwife does not guarantee that they provide this kind of care; consumers looking for a midwife should ask questions to determine if a prospective caregiver will be able to provide the kind of care they seek. Back To Top The Midwives Model of Care The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes. The Midwives Model of Care includes: Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support Minimizing technological interventions Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.

RHCs can be public, nonprofit, or for-profit healthcare facilities, however, they must be located in rural, underserved areas. They are required to use a team approach of physicians working with non-physician practitioners such as nurse practitioners (NP), physician assistants (PA), and certified nurse midwives (CNM) to provide services. The clinic must be staffed at least 50% of the time with a NP, PA, or CNM. RHCs are required to provide outpatient primary care services and basic laboratory services. The main advantage of RHC status is enhanced reimbursement rates for providing Medicaid and Medicare services. According to Basics of RHC Billing, Medicare visits are reimbursed based on reasonable costs and Medicaid visits are reimbursed under a cost-based method or an alternative Prospective Payment System (PPS). For specific Medicare regulations governing the RHC program, please see the Rural Health Clinics - Rules and Guidelines compiled by the National Association of Rural Health Clinics , or visit the Medicare Rural Health Clinics Center .

A midwife is a trained professional with special expertise in supporting women to maintain a healthy pregnancy birth, offering expert individualized care, education, counseling and support to a woman and her newborn throughout the childbearing cycle. A midwife works with each woman and her family to identify their unique physical, social and emotional needs. When the care required is outside the midwife's scope of practice or expertise, the woman is referred to other health care providers for additional consultation or care. The Midwives Alliance of North America, the North American Registry of Midwives, the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council and Citizens for Midwifery agreed on a short definition of what \"\"midwifery care\"\" means. However, just because a person is a midwife does not guarantee that they provide this kind of care; consumers looking for a midwife should ask questions to determine if a prospective caregiver will be able to provide the kind of care they seek. Back To Top The Midwives Model of Care The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes. The Midwives Model of Care includes: Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support Minimizing technological interventions Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.

Report abuse Transcript of Nurse Practitioner and Hospital Privileges History of Hospital Privileges • Credentialing and privileging were originally applicable only to physicians. • In the 1970s, Oregon was the first state to allow CNMs, and then NPs, hospital privileges. The law stated that NPs were subject to the credentialing institution’s bylaws and that a hospital could limit the scope of practice, require monitoring by physicians, or require that NPs co-admit with a physician. Since that time, many states have enacted similar legislation. • In 1983, the Joint Commission opened medical staff membership to non-physician health care professionals, including APRNs, whom the Commission referred to as “limited license practitioners.” • When specialization of physician practice and board certification gained acceptance and hospital accreditation became the norm, the need for a more specialized privileging process also arose. What does it mean to have hospital privileges?? Credentialing and privileging are two administrative processes that are intended to ensure that practitioners have the necessary qualifications to direct the clinical care provided to patients in hospitals. Hospital privileges, which used to be a simple matter, can now include a list of hundreds of diagnostic and treatment procedures." }, { "docid": "D3272530#0", "title": "https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/living-single/201212/are-monogamous-relationships-really-better\nAre Monogamous Relationships Really Better?", "text": "Are Monogamous Relationships Really Better? Science scrutinizes monogamy Posted Dec 20, 2012SHARETWEETEMAILMOREIn one way, the answer to the question in the title of this article, “Are monogamous relationships really better,” is obvious. If the criterion is, do people think they are better, then the answer is an overwhelming yes. Being monogamous has a similar ideological sheen to getting married – it is something that we think we are supposed to do. Ask people why everyone should be monogamous/get married, and they will easily generate reasons for why it is better to do so than to be non-monogamous/ stay single. I have done lots of studies of stereotypes of single people. Terri Conley and her colleagues have been studying stereotypes of people who have what they call “consensually non-mongamous” ( CNM) relationships. We have each gone on to answer the next question: Are the stereotypes true, or are they mostly myths and prejudices? I. First, some definitions. Conley likes the CDC definition of monogamy: “mutual monogamy means that you agree to be sexually active with just one person, and that person has agreed to be sexually active only with you." }, { "docid": "D476223#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_midwife\nCertified nurse midwife", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Nurse midwife)navigation search Certified nurse-midwife (CNM)US Navy CNM checks on a mother Occupation Professional Activity sectors Nursing Description Education required Master of Science in Nursing or Midwifery Doctor of Nursing Practice or Doctor of Midwifery Fields of employment Hospitals In the United States, a certified nurse-midwife ( CNM) is a midwife who exceeds the International Confederation of Midwives essential competencies for a midwife and is also an advanced practice registered nurse having completed registered nursing and midwifery education.

CNMs provide health care for sexual health, as they also see women for routine exams and are able to initiate all types of contraception. CNMs practice in hospitals and private practice medical clinics and may also deliver babies in birthing centers and attend at-home births." }, { "docid": "D2526948#0", "title": "http://www.ehow.com/about_4598228_what-qualifications-do-need-midwife.html\nWhat Is an RN-BC?", "text": "\"Home » Job Descriptions » Healthcare Job Descriptions What Is an RN-BC? By Beth Greenwood; Updated July 05, 2017Ryan Mc Vay/Photodisc/Getty Images Registered nurses who pass specialized examinations are entitled to use the initials \"\"BC\"\" after their signatures. The initials stand for “board certified” and indicate the nurse was certified by a particular specialty or certification organization. Not all specialty certifications include the designation BC; the organization most likely to use this designation is the American Nurses Credentialing Center, or ANCC, which offers a wide array of specialty certifications. Board certification is not required for most RNs to practice but is typically required for advanced practice registered nurses. Education, Licensure and Certification RNs complete educational programs lasting two to four years that include associate degree, nursing diploma or bachelor’s degree programs. After graduation, the RN must pass the NCLEX-RN national examination to become licensed. At that point she is legally able to practice nursing. Specialty certification is an additional step. As of 2015, no state requires that RNs be certified, although some employers may prefer or require certification." }, { "docid": "D453022#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwife\nMidwife", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Midwives\"\" redirects here.

They may intervene in high risk situations such as breech births, twin births and births where the baby is in a posterior position, using non-invasive techniques. When a pregnant woman requires care beyond the midwife's scope of practice, they refer women to obstetricians or perinatologists who are medical specialists in complications related to pregnancy and birth, including surgical and instrumental deliveries. [ 3] [4] In many parts of the world, these professions work in tandem to provide care to childbearing women. In others, only the midwife is available to provide care, and in yet other countries many women elect to utilize obstetricians primarily over midwives. Many developing countries are investing money and training for midwives as these services are needed all over the world. Some primary care services are currently lacking due to the shortage of money being funded for these resources.

Listenen español Centros de maternidad y servicios de maternidad hospitalarios You'll make plenty of decisions during pregnancy, and choosing where to give birth — whether in a hospital or in a birth center setting — is one of the most important. Hospitals Many women fear that a hospital setting will be cold and clinical, but that's not necessarily true. A hospital setting can accommodate a variety of birth experiences. Traditional hospital births (in which the mother-to-be moves from a labor room to a delivery room and then, after the birth, to a semiprivate room) are still the most common option. Doctors \"\"manage\"\" the delivery with their patients. In many cases, women in labor are not allowed to eat or drink for medical reasons, and they may be required to deliver in a certain position. Pain medications are available during labor and delivery (if the woman chooses); labor may be induced, if necessary; and the fetus is usually electronically monitored throughout the labor. A birth plan can help a woman communicate her preferences about these issues, and doctors will abide by these as much possible. In response to a push for more \"\"natural\"\" birth events, many hospitals now offer more modern options for low-risk births, often known as family-centered care." }, { "docid": "D82800#0", "title": "http://www.experts123.com/q/what-is-a-certified-nurse-midwife-cnm.html\nWhat is a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM)?", "text": "What is a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM)?

They primarily work in hospitals and some in birth centers, there are a rare few that offer home-birth. They practice under the supervision of a physician, though the doctor might only need to be present at high-risk births, but they must have their protocols approved by the supervising physician. They can prescribe medications and generally make usage of the medical model of care. They operate generally like obstetricians.0 Comments Add a Comment0Posted Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are registered nurses who are also certified. To become certified, they must graduate from a nurse-midwifery program accredited by the American College of Nurse-Midwives, and pass a national certification exam. CNMs are educated in both nursing and midwifery and can practice anywhere in the US. In contrast, Direct-Entry Midwives (also called Lay, Licensed, or Professional Midwives) practice midwifery, but they are not registered nurses, and are not certified.

These disorders are characterized by muscle weakness that can range from mild to profound. Symptoms are often present at birth in the severe forms, but may first develop at any point during life, although onset in adulthood is unusual. CNMs derive their name based on the central location of the muscle fiber (muscle cell) nucleus, which is an abnormal finding that can be seen in muscle biopsies. Muscle fiber nuclei are normally located at the periphery of the muscle fiber. Centrally placed nuclei can be seen when examining muscle biopsy tissue in the microscope and this feature is an important finding to recognize in making a diagnosis of CNM. There are several genetic forms of CNM including an X-linked form known as myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) and a few autosomal forms, usually referred to as centronuclear myopathy. Autosomal refers to genes that are found on autosomes, or chromosomes other than the X or Y chromosomes (sex chromosomes). Generally, the autosomal forms are less severe than XLMTM, however, in rare cases, individuals with an autosomal form can develop severe complications that are similar to those seen in XLMTM." }, { "docid": "D824676#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060814102047AAtwAwi\nWhat does DPM after a doctors name stand for?", "text": "\"Health General Health Care Other - General Health Care What does DPM after a doctors name stand for?

During surgery the defective insulation could allow 100 percent of the electrical current (averaging 700? C) to flow from the defect to the surgical site, burning tissue and organs. The smaller the crack, the more dangerous the effects, because the current escaping from small holes is more concentrated.

Previous article Next article Key wordsergonomics musculoskeletal disorders back injuries patient transfers lateral transfer perioperative patient safetyperioperative personnel safety work-related injuries Moving patients during care can result in injury to the patient or the staff members involved. Lateral patient transfers and positioning in the OR place staff members at high risk for developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), including lower back, shoulder, and neck injuries. 1 Lateral transfers are the most frequent cause of back and shoulder MSDs in general nursing practice. 2,3 A lateral transfer is defined as movement of a patient horizontally or laterally. In the perioperative setting, lateral transfers are performed many times during a typical work shift, and the frequency of this maneuver significantly increases the risk of work-related MSDs." }, { "docid": "D3218309#0", "title": "https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/547793\nWhat Are the Current Guidelines About Wearing Artificial Nails and Nail Polish in the Healthcare Setting?", "text": "\"Perspective > Medscape Nurses > Ask the Experts > Primary Care for Advanced Practice Nurses What Are the Current Guidelines About Wearing Artificial Nails and Nail Polish in the Healthcare Setting? Jane C. Rothrock, DNSc, MSN, BSN,CNOR, FAANDisclosures November 27, 2006Question I have a colleague who still wears artificial nails at work. What is the latest evidence about wearing artificial nails and nail polish in the healthcare setting? Response From the Expert Jane C. Rothrock, DNSc, MSN, BSN,CNOR, FAAN Professor and Director, Perioperative Programs, Delaware County Community College, Media, Pennsylvania Your question is timely in light of a number of ongoing initiatives to decrease healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). As early as 2002, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a Guideline for Hand Hygiene in Health-Care Settings, which recommended that healthcare workers \"\"not wear artificial fingernails or extenders when having direct contact with patients at high risk\"\" (eg, those in intensive care units, transplant units, or operating rooms). [ 1] This recommendation is considered a Category IA, which is defined as \"\"strongly recommended for implementation and strongly supported by well-designed experimental, clinical or epidemiological studies.\"\" The CDC further advises nurses to check their facility's policy regarding artificial nails, which may be stricter. In 2003, the CDC launched its Campaign to Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance in Healthcare Settings, including \"\"12 Steps to Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance Among Surgical Patients.\"\" Step 12, which covers hand hygiene, includes the directive \"\"Do not operate with artificial nails.\"\" [ 2]Bacteria Found on Fingernails and Artificial Nails Studies have documented that subungual areas of the hand harbor high concentrations of bacteria, most frequently coagulase-negative staphylococci, gram-negative rods (including Pseudomonas ), Corynebacterium, and yeasts.

The practice has a place in every clinical setting. As the mother of a neutropenic infant, many facets of aseptic technique and infection prevention encircle all aspects of my daily life. I recently had a lot of time to sit back and consider all the different ways in which the sterile field is repeatedly broken in the healthcare environment as I sat with my ill daughter for four days in the hospital as she fought against the highly resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae that had infiltrated her ear. The printouts I received daily of her nonexistent neutrophils and nearly nonexistent total white blood cell count had me reeling as I looked around her room and watched the staff come and go. I found myself analyzing their every move. It became apparent to me during my observations that oftentimes when healthcare workers (HCWs) are out of an area requiring certain protocols, they do not always think to follow the same protocols in other areas they may infiltrate. For instance, my daughter was under contact and respiratory precautions during our stay. When staff entered our room, they donned the appropriate garb and adhered to the general principals. However, when we would go to the treatment room down the hall, on the same floor to change out her IV, it appeared those precautions were thrown to the wind and now anything goes simply because we now are in a different room." }, { "docid": "D2532069#0", "title": "http://allnurses.com/operating-room-nursing/cvor-certification-935952.html\nCVOR Certification?", "text": "\"Latest Articles Products Conferences Nursing Specialties › Operating Room Nursing ›CVOR Certification?

The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics states that the definition of accountability is “to be answerable to oneself and others for one’s own actions.” 1 As perioperative nurses, we are accountable to our patients and their family members, our colleagues, our workplace, and our profession. Because of this, perioperative nurses should hold themselves accountable for patient advocacy, continuity of care, lifelong learning, to colleagues, the nursing profession, and their organization.

Using a repeated measures design, 86 adult subjects had temporal artery, oral, and axillary temperatures taken upon admission to the surgical area and upon admission to the PACU. Findings indicated best agreement both preoperatively and postoperatively between the oral mode of the electronic thermometer and the temporal artery thermometer, followed by agreement between oral and axillary modes of the electronic thermometer, and the least agreement between the temporal artery and axillary readings. Seconds to temperature measurement was significantly different both preoperatively and postoperatively, with temporal artery measurement the fastest, followed by oral and then axillary. Results support the use of the temporal artery thermometers as an alternative for perioperative noninvasive temperature monitoring. Previous article Next article Keywordstemperature measurement thermometer temporal artery oralaxillary PACU research THIS STUDY was prompted by the desire to find a more efficient way to take temperatures in perianesthesia areas. Electronic thermometers that could be set to take temperatures orally if patients were awake, or axillary if needed were used, but they often registered “error” rather than giving a temperature reading in the immediate postoperative period. The difficulty in obtaining readings was attributed to the thermometer’s insensitivity to hypothermia. The inability to obtain readings resulted in repeated measurement attempts and required the use of a new thermometer probe cover with each attempt, a situation believed to be costly in terms of nursing time and supplies. The temporal artery (TA) thermometer was a relatively new device claimed to be accurate and able to provide readings in 0.4 second." }, { "docid": "D9507#0", "title": "http://www.modernmedicine.com/modern-medicine/content/copd-help-your-patients-breathe-easier\nCOPD: Help your patients breathe easier", "text": "\"Modern medicine COPD: Help your patients breathe easier Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is progressive, but it can be managed.

A surgical nurse is the backbone of a surgical team. Surgical nurses work in a dynamic and challenging environment, taking on key roles in life-saving surgical procedures and the surrounding care. The operating room is a complex work environment, with several well-defined roles filled by nurses – some with highly specialized training that enables them to participate directly in surgery. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »A licensed practical nurse (LPN) can be involved in pre-operative and post-operative care, including taking vital signs, assisting patients with bathing and dressing, and assisting with documentation and procedures. However, the term “surgical nurse” applies to nurses whose roles in the operating room require an RN license at minimum. This article will focus on these nurses; visit our resource specifically focusing on LPNs to learn more about this career path. Collectively, the group of nurses who prepare patients and their families for a surgical procedure, work in the operating room, and monitor the patient during recovery are termed “perioperative” nurses.

As such, general practitioners, who play an important part in the sub-acute management of post-operative wounds, should appreciate the physiology of wound healing and the principles of post-operative wound care. Objective/s The objective of this article is to update general practitioners on the important aspects of post-operative wound care. This includes a review of the physiology behind wound healing, an update on wound cleansing and dressing methods, as well as a guide on how common post-operative wound complications should be managed. Discussion The key elements of post-operative wound care include timely review of the wound, appropriate cleansing and dressing, as well as early recognition and active treatment of wound complications. Appropriate post-operative surgical wound care is essential in preventing potential complications, such as surgical-site infections (SSIs), wound dehiscence and haematomas. General practitioners play a major part in managing patients’ post-operative wounds in the community and it is important to appreciate the principles of post-operative wound management to minimise the incidence of wound complications. Phases of wound healing Wound healing has classically been described to occur in three phases, regardless of the mechanism of injury. These phases are the inflammatory, the proliferative and the remodelling phases. 1 – 3The inflammatory phase is the body’s natural response to injury and takes place immediately after the wound is formed." }, { "docid": "D1819188#0", "title": "http://staff.um.edu.mt/amce1/Stains%20and%20Tests%20PAT2322/The%20Coagulase%20Test.htm\nThe Coagulase Test", "text": "The Coagulase Test The Coagulase Test is used to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus from other species of this genus.

S. aureus lives in: Healthy people ( S. aureus carriers): in the mucosa of the nose, less commonly in the throat, vagina, intestines and lungs; on the skin: mainly in the armpits, under the breasts and in the groin Infected people: in skin lesions, the blood, stool, urine, respiratory mucosa, genitals, abscesses of internal organs Animals: in pets (fur, skin, nares) and farm animals (cows udders, horses, poultry)Contaminated food: milk (from infected cow), food prepared and kept outside a refrigerator for some hours (contamination from infected food worker)Athletic equipment, toys, surfaces and other inanimate objects known as fomites. Air, water, soil, dust (less important sources). Staph Reservoir Primary reservoir for S. aureus (including MRSA) is a human. Staph is common in cows (mastitis), poultry, and pets (dogs, cats). In Canada, they have found MRSA in pigs ( 1 ). How Is Staph Infection Spread Staph may spread from one skin location to another ( auto-infection ), for example, by picking the nose followed by scratching the skin, or by clothes. Person to person spread is possible via skin-to-skin contact, or with sharing toys, towels, sport equipment, public showers, sauna or swimming pools. An infection may also be spread by healthy staph carriers, especially by health personnel. Staph may spread from human to dogs or other pets and then back to the human ( 2 )." }, { "docid": "D2196254#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/63990174/streptococcus-staphylococcus-flash-cards/\nStreptococcus & staphylococcus", "text": "93 terms Za Hra90TStreptococcus & staphylococcus Bacteriology Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Try diagrams on Quizlet!See what you're learning in a whole new way.

The severity of necrosis demonstrates the potential for destructive pathology mimicking Staphylococcus aureus disease. Previous Section Next Section CASE REPORTA 73-year-old Caucasian man with metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma was hospitalized 23 days following the administration of his 7th cycle of mitoxantrone chemotherapy. He reported a 9-day history of progressive right-sided facial and periorbital swelling, right-sided nasal blockage, serous nasal discharge, and visual blurring. He also described progressive discomfort and swelling in the roof of his mouth and had developed a widespread itchy, vesicular rash in the week preceding admission. Despite 1 week of treatment with oral co-amoxiclav (625 mg three times daily), his symptoms had worsened. The diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate (Gleason score of 9, reflecting poorly differentiated disease) had been made 3 years previously, and he had undergone transurethral resection of the prostate and received hormonal treatment with an antiandrogen (bicalutamide), luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone blockade (goserelin), and diethylstilboestrol. Subsequently, he had undergone palliative radiotherapy for bony lesions in the right femur. At the time of admission, he was receiving outpatient chemotherapy with prednisolone (5 mg twice daily) and mitoxantrone, which he had been tolerating well." }, { "docid": "D173130#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_saprophyticus\nStaphylococcus saprophyticus", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search S. saprophyticus on Mueller-Hinton agar exhibiting resistance to novobiocin characteristic for species identification This article needs additional citations for verification.

[ 2] [3]Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Epidemiology and pathogenesis3 Clinical features4 Laboratory diagnosis5 Treatment6 Different subspecies7 References8 External links History [ edit]S. saprophyticus was not recognized as a cause of urinary tract infections until the early 1970s, more than 10 years after its original demonstration in urine specimens. Prior to this, the presence of coagulase-negative staphylococci (Co NS) in urine specimens was dismissed as contamination. [ citation needed]Epidemiology and pathogenesis [ edit]In humans, S. saprophyticus is found in the normal flora of the female genital tract [3] and perineum.

The skin microflora are microorganisms that are resident on our skin. Microflora are frequently (and more correctly) called the skin microbiota or the skin microbiome. There are huge numbers of microorganisms — the total microbial cell count in and on our bodies is 10 times greater than the number of human cells. After the gut, there are more microorganisms on the skin than anywhere else in the body. Bacterial species are by far the most numerous; however fungi, viruses and mites are also found on the skin of normal healthy humans. Resident microorganisms Resident microbiota are found in the upper parts of the epidermis and congregated in and around the hair follicles. They include: Staphylococcus (see coagulase negative staphylococci)Micrococcus Corynebacterium Brevibacterium Dermabacter Malasezzia Transient bacteria Some microbiota are considered transient, as they can be only isolated and cultured from skin samples from time to time.

Blood agar is a rich, non-selective medium that supports the growth of most bacteria. However, it is differential based on the ability of the organism to produce enzymes called hemolysins, which lyse red blood cells (RBC). Three patterns of hemolysis can be observed on a blood agar plate.1. Alpha ( a ) -hemolysis: incomplete lysis of RBC - Greenish, cloudy zone around the colony.2. Beta ( b)-hemolysis: complete lysis of RBC - A clear zone with a clean edge around the colony.3. Gamma ( g)-hemolysis: no lysis of RBC - No change in the blood agar around the colony. MSA contains a high concentration of salt (Na Cl), and therefore, selects for the growth of microbes that can tolerate high salt concentrations. Staphylococcus species are halotolerant, whereas Streptococcus species and many other organisms are inhibited by high concentrations of Na Cl. MSA also differentiates on the basis of mannitol fermentation. Microorganisms that can ferment mannitol create acidic byproducts, which decrease the p H of the medium and cause the p H indicator, phenol red, to turn yellow." }, { "docid": "D609172#0", "title": "http://www.audioenglish.org/dictionary/coagulase.htm\nCOAGULASE", "text": "\"Audio English.org » Dictionary » C » Clytocybe Alba ...

Null (or NULL) is a special marker used in Structured Query Language to indicate that a data value does not exist in the database. Introduced by the creator of the relational database model, E. F. Codd, SQL Null serves to fulfil the requirement that all true relational database management systems (RDBMS) support a representation of \"\"missing information and inapplicable information\"\". Codd also introduced the use of the lowercase Greek omega (ω) symbol to represent Null in database theory. In SQL, NULL is a reserved word used to identify this marker. This should not be confused with a value of 0. A null value indicates a lack of a value — a lack of a value is not the same thing as a value of zero in the same way that a lack of an answer is not the same thing as an answer of \"\"no\"\". For example, consider the question \"\"How many books does Adam own?\"\" The answer may be \"\"zero\"\" (we know that he owns none) or \"\"null\"\" (we do not know how many he owns).

In such cases, Oracle implicitly tries to convert the unexpected value to a compatible data type which can be substituted in place and application continuity is not compromised. Type conversion can be either implicitly done by Oracle or explicitly done by the programmer. Implicit data type conversion works based on a matrix which showcases the Oracle's support for internal type casting. Besides these rules, Oracle offers type conversion functions which can be used in the queries for explicit conversion and formatting. As a matter of fact, it is recommended to perform explicit conversion instead of relying on software intelligence. Though implicit conversion works well, but to eliminate the skew chances where bad inputs could be difficult to typecast internally. Implicit Data Type Conversion A VARCHAR2 or CHAR value can be implicitly converted to NUMBER or DATE type value by Oracle. Similarly, a NUMBER or DATA type value can be automatically converted to character data by Oracle server." }, { "docid": "D3044246#0", "title": "https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_NVL_function.html\nNVL Expression", "text": "AWS Documentation » Amazon Redshift » Database Developer Guide » SQL Reference » SQL Functions Reference » Conditional Expressions » NVL Expression NVL Expression An NVL expression is identical to a COALESCE expression. NVL and COALESCE are synonyms. Syntax NVL \| COALESCE ( expression, expression, ... )An NVL or COALESCE expression returns the value of the first expression in the list that is not null. If all expressions are null, the result is null. When a non-null value is found, the remaining expressions in the list are not evaluated. This type of expression is useful when you want to return a backup value for something when the preferred value is missing or null. For example, a query might return one of three phone numbers (cell, home, or work, in that order), whichever is found first in the table (not null). Examples Create a table with START_DATE and END_DATE columns, insert some rows that include null values, then apply an NVL expression to the two columns.create table datetable (start_date date, end_date date);insert into datetable values ('2008-06-01','2008-12-31'); insert into datetable values (null,'2008-12-31'); insert into datetable values ('2008-12-31',null);select nvl (start_date, end_date) from datetable order by 1; coalesce ------------ 2008-06-01 2008-12-31 2008-12-31The default column name for an NVL expression is COALESCE. The following query would return the same results:select coalesce (start_date, end_date) from datetable order by 1;If you expect a query to return null values for certain functions or columns, you can use an NVL expression to replace the nulls with some other value.

You can also change characteristics such as the storage engine used for the table or the table comment. To use ALTER TABLE, you need ALTER , CREATE, and INSERT privileges for the table. Renaming a table requires ALTER and DROP on the old table, ALTER , CREATE, and INSERT on the new table. Following the table name, specify the alterations to be made. If none are given, ALTER TABLE does nothing.

However, I spot another serious shortcoming that you need to fix: This: AND bd.billingdate >= '' ' + CONVERT (nvarchar (10), @Billing Start Date, 120) + ' ''Should be: AND bd.billingdate >= @p Billing Start Date And then the call to sp_executesql should look like this: DECLARE @params nvarchar ( MAX) = N '@Billing Start Date date'Execute sp_Executesql @SQLQuery, @params, @Billing Start Date = @p Billing Start Date And you should handle all parameter values that you interleave above the same way. Parameterised SQL gives you three advantages:1) Protection against SQL injection. 2) Better untilisation of the SQL Server cache, as queries with different parameters can share the same plan. 3) It is soooooo much easier to code. Another issue that I spot is (NOLOCK). NOLOCK is a feature that requires very careful understanding to use in application code." }, { "docid": "D1105503#0", "title": "https://blog.jooq.org/2017/04/20/how-to-calculate-multiple-aggregate-functions-in-a-single-query/\nHow to Calculate Multiple Aggregate Functions in a Single Query", "text": "April 20, 2017sql10 Comments Aggregate Function Analytics COUNTcubegrouping sets OLAPPIVOTReportingsql SQL Performance How to Calculate Multiple Aggregate Functions in a Single Query At a customer site, I’ve recently encountered a report where a programmer needed to count quite a bit of stuff from a single table. The counts all differed in the way they used specific predicates. The report looked roughly like this (as always, I’m using the Sakila database for illustration ):-- Total number of films SELECT count () FROM film -- Number of films with a given length SELECT count () FROM film WHERE length BETWEEN 120 AND 150 -- Number of films with a given language SELECT count () FROM film WHERE language_id = 1 -- Number of films for a given rating SELECT count () FROM film WHERE rating = 'PG'And then, unsurprisingly, combinations of these predicates were needed as well, i.e.-- Number of films with a given length / language_id SELECT count () FROM film WHERE length BETWEEN 120 AND 150 AND language_id = 1 -- Number of films with a given length / rating SELECT count () FROM film WHERE length BETWEEN 120 AND 150 AND rating = 'PG' -- Number of films with a given language_id / rating SELECT count () FROM film WHERE language_id = 1 AND rating = 'PG' -- Number of films with a given length / language_id / rating SELECT count () FROM film WHERE length BETWEEN 120 AND 150 AND language_id = 1 AND rating = 'PG'In the end, there were 32 queries in total (or 8 in my example) with all the possible combinations of predicates. Needless to say that running them all took quite a while, because the table had around 200M records and only one predicate could profit from an index. But in fact, the improvement is really easy. There are several options to calculate all these counts in a single query Simplest solution works in all databases: Filtered aggregate functions (or manual pivot)This solution allows for calculating all results in a single query by using 8 different, explicit, filtered aggregate functions and no GROUP BY clause (none in this example. More complex cases where GROUP BY persists are sill imaginable). This is how it works on all databases: SELECT count (*), count (length), count (language_id), count (rating), count (length + language_id), count (length + rating), count (language_id + rating), count (length + language_id + rating) FROM ( SELECT CASE WHEN length BETWEEN 120 AND 150 THEN 1 END length, CASE WHEN language_id = 1 THEN 1 END language_id, CASE WHEN rating = 'PG' THEN 1 END rating FROM film ) film Which yields:col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6 col7 col8 1000 224 1000 194 224 43 194 43How to read the above query? Instead of evaluating the three different predicates in a WHERE clause, we pre-calculate it in a derived table (subquery in the FROM clause) and translate the predicate in some random value (e.g. 1) if TRUE and NULL if FALSE. Note, I omitted the ELSE clause from the CASE expression, which means that we get NULL s per default." }, { "docid": "D3381549#0", "title": "http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/the-new-c-null-coalescing-operator-and-using-it-with-linq\nThe C# ?? null coalescing operator (and using it with LINQ)", "text": "\"The C# ?? null coalescing operator (and using it with LINQ)Thursday, September 20, 2007.

The need for integrated coastal area management", "text": "PART A: ISSUES, PERSPECTIVES, POLICY AND PLANNING PROCESSES FOR INTEGRATED COASTAL AREA MANAGEMENT1. The need for integrated coastal area management1.1 DEFINING COASTAL AREASCoastal areas are commonly defined as the interface or transition areas between land and sea, including large inland lakes. Coastal areas are diverse in function and form, dynamic and do not lend themselves well to definition by strict spatial boundaries. Unlike watersheds, there are no exact natural boundaries that unambiguously delineate coastal areas. Geologically, continental margins are of two types: active margins where the edge of a continent happens to be at the edge of an oceanic plate (e.g. the west coast of South America); and inactive margins where the transition from continental lithosphere to oceanic lithosphere is within a plate rather than at a plate edge (e.g. the Atlantic). Coastal areas are therefore characterized by the vertical accretion of near-shore land. This depends on several factors: sediment supply from rivers or from the sea; the width of the shelf, or the proximity of a submarine canyon through which currents remove sediments; and the strength of longshore currents and incidence of cyclones, both of which transport and redistribute sediments along the coast. Sedimentation is the major geological activity that shapes coasts, but human-induced land subsidence is having an increasing impact on coastal morphology. Nevertheless, for management purposes, a variety of landwards and seawards boundaries, ranging from fairly narrow and precise ones 1 to much broader and more nebulous ones, 2 have been utilized around the world. Management boundaries are pragmatic, being influenced by the geographic scope of relevant management concerns, including biophysical, economic, social, institutional and organizational aspects." } ]	[ { "docid": "D1388641#0", "title": "https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0964569106001074\nConfronting coastal poverty: Building sustainable coastal livelihoods in South Africa â", "text": "Ocean & Coastal Management Volume 50, Issues 1–2, 2007, Pages 1-23Confronting coastal poverty: Building sustainable coastal livelihoods in South Africa ☆Bruce C.

It focuses on the adoption of the Sustainable Livelihoods approach that has underpinned recent policy implementation efforts. This approach complements prevailing coastal management thinking and practice by focusing attention on the strategies that poor people use to access coastal resources, mediated by governance institutions and social relations, in the pursuit of desired livelihood outcomes. South Africa's efforts to adopt this approach help to better understand coastal livelihood opportunities and challenges, identify priority interventions for improving livelihood prospects, and reveal imperatives for building sustainable coastal livelihoods. Previous article Next article1. Introduction Coastal management efforts in South Africa have undergone a dramatic transformation in recent decades: from a bureaucratic and biophysical focus towards an approach rooted in participation, empowerment and the promotion of sustainable coastal livelihoods [1]. Confronting poverty is arguably the most important and challenging issue for the democratically elected Government. South Africa's coast has an important contribution to make in meeting basic needs and improving the well-being of coastal communities [2–4]. This article explores South Africa's efforts to utilise the Sustainable Livelihoods approach to foster more people-centred, pro-poor integrated coastal management (ICM). The Sustainable Livelihoods approach complements and enriches ICM, and could help to bridge the gap between sustainability rhetoric and the reality facing poor coastal communities [5]. After briefly describing the Sustainable Livelihoods approach, attention is focused, firstly, on the insights that this approach reveals about coastal livelihood challenges and opportunities in South Africa. Secondly, priority interventions for promoting sustainable coastal livelihoods are outlined. Thirdly, recent experiences in seeking to implement these recommendations through the Sustainable Coastal Livelihoods Programme are described." }, { "docid": "D332748#0", "title": "http://www.habitat.noaa.gov/protection/wetlands/\nCoastal Wetlands: Too Valuable to Lose", "text": "\"Coastal Wetlands: Too Valuable to Lose More than just a pretty view, wetlands are a pivotal part of the natural system, providing tremendous benefits for coastal communities.

The sailors understood the shoreline was dynamic. New spits of sand could appear after hurricanes, and dangerous new shoals could be created underwater when storms moved the sand. However, it is only recently that we have developed a clear understanding of how much the Virginia coast has changed over time. The Continental Shelf and a portion of the current Coastal Plain were underwater 120,000 years ago, when sea levels were 20-25 feet higher. At the start of the Wisconsin glacial stage, the Laurentide ice sheet grew, trapping water on land. Sea level dropped and the Virginia coastline migrated to the east, exposing the sediments coating the former ocean bottom. It was not a steady, constant change every year; the ice sheet grew and sea level dropped in distinctive steps. At times the process reversed and sea level rose briefly to drown the land again, with one such \"\"transgression\"\" occurring 35,000 years ago. About 30,000 years ago, the last step was a rapid expansion of the ice sheet and equally-rapid drop in sea level, exposing the last wedge of sediments that had been deposited on the outer edge of the Continental Shelf." }, { "docid": "D1312075#0", "title": "http://www.miseagrant.umich.edu/lessons/lessons/by-broad-concept/earth-science/microclimates/\nMicroclimates", "text": "Microclimates The coastal areas of the Great Lakes seem somewhat magical – rolling hills leading to the edge of the lakes, temperate breezes rolling off the water, and fruit orchards, green fields and vineyards dotting the surrounding land.

Second, seasonal variations are greater and more important to the marine ecosystem in coastal oceans. Third, life is much more abundant in the coastal oceans than in comparably sized areas of the open ocean despite the much greater depth, and therefore volume, of water in the open oceans.

Here is the real answer: Mid-latitude continental interiors have greater extremes in temperature than coastal areas because large areas heat up and cool off more quickly than oceans. Therefore, in the winter, the interiors of continents will be much colder than along the coast. Similarly, in the summer, the interiors heat up much more than the coastal areas. The colder winter temperatures and warmer summer temperatures of the interior result in a greater range of temperature. Oceans provide both cold and warm currents.

The BEACH Act authorizes the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to award program development and implementation grants to eligible States, Territories, Tribes, and local governments to support microbiological testing and monitoring of coastal recreation waters, including the Great Lakes, that are adjacent to beaches or similar points of access used by the public.

EPA encourages coastal States and Territories to apply for BEACH Act Grants for Program Implementation (referred to as Implementation Grants) to implement effective and comprehensive coastal recreation water monitoring and public notification programs. CWA section 406 (i) authorizes appropriations of up to $30 million per year to develop and implement beach programs.

So we should all be acutely aware of what is happening to the coast that could affect our investments and quality of life. Over the millennia, shorelines have advanced and retreated as sea levels rose or fell over a range of some 500 feet. The difference today is that there are now millions of people living on densely developed shorelines around the world, so even a relatively small change in sea level can have a big impact. Sea levels have been rising since the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago. Measurements from around the world show a rise of almost 20 centimeters since 1880 - about eight inches - and if this gradual pace continues, we can expect a rise of another foot above current sea level by the end of this century. That's right in the middle of the range projected by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007. But unfortunately, the rise won't be constant.

The end result can often be stated as a “design goal” in which the coverage is determined by the maximum distance from each RAU before the signal strength falls beneath that goal. One key feature of the link budget is the maximum power per carrier discussed in Section 7.1. While the maximum power per carrier is important as far as emissions and signal quality requirements are concerned, it is critical that the maximum signal into the Main Hub never exceed +21 d Bm (126m W) minus system gain. Composite power levels above this limit will cause damage to the Main Hub." }, { "docid": "D1550134#0", "title": "http://www.broadband.co.uk/broadband/fibre-optic-broadband/\nFibre Optic Broadband Buyers Guide", "text": "Author: Andy Betts Fibre Optic Broadband Buyers Guide The hottest evolution in broadband technology gives you blisteringly fast speeds, allowing you to stream, game and surf on your laptops, tablets and smartphones without compromise.

At its simplest level, it's a broadband supply that replaces copper telephone cables with fibre optics. A fibre optic cable is made up of very thin strands of glass which laser light is beamed down at incredibly fast speeds (quite literally the speed of light!) to carry data. Fibre optic broadband brings superfast, ultrafast or even hyperfast internet access to your home. It is significantly quicker than standard phoneline broadband, with performance more than ten times faster.

Many high-priced cables are made with materials for which special claims of high performance are made. The most common among these are silver instead of or in addition to copper, \"\"oxygen-free\"\" copper, and Teflon. We'll address each of these in turn and explain what they are, what their characteristics are, and whether they make sense for particular applications. Initially, it's perhaps helpful to point out that professional cables of the highest quality are routinely made without resort to any strange, exotic or expensive materials. If you look inside a typical audio or video production facility, you won't find it wired with silver-plated cables, oxygen-free copper cables, or (except, as we'll explain, in limited circumstances) Teflon-insulated cables. Broadcast studio engineers--people whose livelihood depends on the signal getting through with the lowest possible distortion and losses--rely on cables from companies like Belden and Canare, made with ordinary high-quality materials.

It derives its nickname, which is a portmanteau of \"\"Thick Ethernet,\"\" from the thick coaxial cable it uses, which is 0.375 inches in diameter. The designation 10BASE5, assigned to the Thick Net standard by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, provides a quick summary of the characteristics of its physical medium: \"\"10\"\" denotes its maximum data transmission rate of 10Mbps; \"\"BASE\"\" is shorthand for \"\"baseband transmission,\"\" meaning the medium exclusively transmits Ethernet signals; and \"\"5\"\" means that it can transmit data at a maximum length of 500 meters before it experiences signal degradation. The specialized coaxial cable used for a Thick Net computer network is sometimes referred to as \"\"yellow cable\"\" or \"\"orange cable\"\" because its outer insulation or jacket is made of either PVC (yellow) or Teflon (orange). This material makes the cable stiff and inflexible. The cable contains a solid center conductor, and surrounding this conductor is an insulating filler made of foam, as well as a shielding braid. The cable must have a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. Examples of coaxial cables made specifically for Ethernet include Belden numbers 9880 and 89880. Thick Net may also make use of RG-11 coaxial cable. Thick Net employs a bus configuration as its network topology, meaning all nodes or devices are connected in a linear manner to one cable, known as a backbone, with 50 ohm resistive terminators at each physical end of the network." }, { "docid": "D1416573#0", "title": "http://www.ebay.com/gds/5-Things-to-Consider-When-Deciding-Between-Full-Range-and-Mid-Range-Car-Speakers-/10000000177631327/g.html\n5 Ways to Decide Between Full-Range and Mid-Range Car Speakers", "text": "\"Home Buying Guides Consumer Electronics Vehicle Electronics & GPS5 Ways to Decide Between Full-Range and Mid-Range Car Speakerse Bay 100K Views 10 Likes Like Share August 26, 2016Everyone likes listening to music in the car.

The consumer industry has opted for the colour yellow, to represent a video connector which carries this type of signal. This will appear as a Yellow female RCA (aka Cinch) connector on the back of AV equipment, and you would interconnect the equipment with one of these: The White and Red colours are used to represent Audio Line inputs and/or Outputs. The colour Red is conventionally used for the Right Channel of a stereo signal, as Red and Right both start with the letter R. The other channel ( Left) will appear on a White connector. The other type of AV connectivity which uses colour is the: Component video, where the video signal is sent as separate components, known as Y, U, V, or on consumer equipment, Y, B, R, as per the picture below. The Y signal is in fact the Green component, whilst the U signal is the difference between the Green signal and the Blue signal (hence the B-Y) in the picture, and the V signal is the difference between the Green signal and the Red signal (hence the R-Y). It takes up less bandwidth to code one information in full (Green) and code the difference for the other two colours, than to code all three in full. So your connecting cables would also be RCA, but you’d need a total of five to carry picture and sound: Something like this to connect the video: And something like this to connect the audio: All other AV cables are “all-in-one” and therefore don’t use colour codes (VGA, S-VGA, HDMI, S-Video, …). Only HDMI carries audio alongside the video information, so with all the other AV cables, you still need a good ol’ pair of red/white RCA cables to also connect sound.

COBRA premium rates are simply the sum of the employer's portion of the cost of coverage plus the employee's portion of the cost of coverage plus an administrative fee. The cost of coverage under COBRA is basically the same as the total cost of coverage when it was previously provided through an employer plan. But since the employer no longer pays a portion of the cost, the individual must pay the entire cost. Most health plans add a 2% administrative fee which adds another $10 to the cost of a $500 premium. Although the actual rate will come directly from the plan administrator and rates will vary sharply for different health plans, these are approximate national estimates according to Kaiser Foundation and other sources for 2012:single coverage - $550 per monthfamily coverage - $1350 per month The premium reduction subsidy previously available offered the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is no longer available. COBRA alternatives also range in price and premiums are available online through the quote engines on the Freedom Benefits insurance exchange. The average cost of an issued alternative policy is about half of the price of COBRA listed above. Although some health insurance policies are priced lower than these figures - perhaps less than $100 per month - it is important to realize that the premium reduction is achieved by reducing the benefits available.

There was a time when group health coverage was available only to full-time workers and their families.

Now, terminated employees or those who lose coverage because of reduced work hours may be able to buy group coverage for themselves and their families for limited periods of time. If you are entitled to COBRA benefits, your health plan must give you a notice stating your right to choose to continue benefits provided by the plan.

In response to the growing unemployment, Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which allowed most of these people to pay a subsidized premium under COBRA to stay in their employers’ group health insurance plans. While this subsidy was helpful, for many it is expiring soon (it only lasts for 15 months) and you must decide whether to stick with the COBRA plan (and pay the full premium) or move on to another option. What is COBRA? What is the COBRA Subsidy? COBRA is the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (enacted in 1985).

No. Large employers (those with more than 50 full-time employees) have the choice to offer coverage to their full-time employees and their dependents, not including spouses, or to make a shared responsibility payment to the government on behalf of each full-time worker. Small employers (those with fewer than 50 full-time employees) will not pay a shared responsibility payment if they fail to offer coverage.

Under ACA provisions, your parents can't cover you under their health plan once you turn 26 (although states are allowed to set their own rules as long as they're no more restrictive than the ACA; for example, New Jersey allows young adults to remain on a parent's plan until they turn 31 ). Yet, at 26 years old, many young adults don’t have a stable career with a benefited full-time job providing health insurance. If this is your situation, you have several options for getting health insurance coverage when you turn 26 years old. Buy a Plan on Your Health Insurance Exchange You can buy health insurance on your state’s health insurance exchange. If you have a modest income, you may qualify for a government subsidy to help pay the monthly premiums. For a single individual, subsidy eligibility extends up to an income of $47,520 in 2017, but in some areas, premiums are low enough that subsidy eligibility stops at a lower income threshold.

For example:~ Selective attention - the ability to concentrate in the face of distractions~ Problem sensitivity - the ability to determine at the earliest stage when something is wrong~ Time-sharing - the ability to multi-task~ Reasoning - the ability to think through how an action will trigger subsequent actions~ Resistance to premature judgment - the ability to not \"\"over-operate\"\" the console~ Speed of closure - the ability to make sense out of large amounts of process information~ Response orientation - the ability to quickly choose between two or more actions Has the test been validated?

The cobra was a significant royal symbol in ancient Egypt. A rearing cobra, hood flared, ready to strike, was drawn and sculpted as an image called a uraeus, which refers to protection. One creation myth relates that the sacred eye of a creator-god discovered it had been overshadowed by the sun and turned itself into a deadly cobra in a rage. To placate the eye, the god placed it on his head, transforming the striking cobra into the sign for protection of kings. Egyptian Banded Cobra The Egyptian Banded Cobra is impressive and deadly. It can reach 8 feet long and raise its head and flared hood 2 feet in the air. The hood spread can be 5 inches across. The snake’s venom is a powerful neurotoxin that will cause respiratory failure in 10 painful minutes if a strike is not immediately treated.

The premiums shall be a reasonable estimate of the cost of providing coverage for similarly situated beneficiaries determined on an actuarial basis taking into account factors that shall be prescribed by regulations. The COBRA law permits the plan administrator to choose between one of two methods of determining COBRA premiums for a self-funded plan. Actuarially Determined Method This is a method by which an actuary would perform such computation taking into account factors to be prescribed by regulations. By actuary, we would presume the law means a qualified actuary (minimally being a member of the American Academy of Actuaries). The regulations, directed by the law to be issued, have never been so issued. COBRA commentators are universally agreed that the law did not mean that a non-actuary could compute actuarially determined COBRA premiums by following what would be asserted to be actuarial methodology. Past Cost Method This method would project past claims forward to the upcoming plan year and spread such claims cost among plan participants.

Ober, GJ Stillson Mac Donnell on June 15, 2003 Download PDFEffective September 1, 2003, a new California law will require that employees and their covered dependents who have exhausted their federal COBRA medical benefits be given the opportunity to extend their coverage to a maximum of 36 months. The new law, AB 1401, will enable individuals who lose coverage due to termination of employment to continue coverage for the same period that COBRA allows for dependents who lose coverage due to divorce, death, or loss of dependent status. WHICH PLANS ARE AFFECTEDThe extension applies only to group medical plans that provide benefits through insurance or a health care service plan (HMO). The obligation to offer extended coverage falls on the health insurance issuer or the HMO, not on the sponsoring employer. The extension does not apply to self-insured plans, where the employer pays benefits out of its general assets or a trust. Specialized HMOs or insurance plans that provide \"\"noncore\"\" coverage, such as stand-alone dental or vision plans or policies, are also excluded. WHO IS ELIGIBLETo be eligible, the employee or dependent must have begun receiving federal COBRA benefits on or after January 1, 2003 and must have exhausted federal COBRA. The employee and the employee's spouse or dependent may each independently elect the extended coverage. However, spouses and dependent children who were previously offered 36 months of federal COBRA coverage are not eligible for further coverage.

For people who like exotic cars, there's the Iron Man car collection in Tony Stark's garage. Like a lot of home tinkerers, genius Tony Stark spends a lot of his time holed up in his garage. Where most of us putter about fixing the lawn mower, though, Stark creates and installs his own life-sustaining device, then builds a super-powered metal suit. And where we have to walk around the minivan or the family sedan, Stark has four gleaming supercars lined up in his enviably spacious workshop: a 1932 Ford Flathead roadster, a 1967 Shelby Cobra, a Saleen S7, a 2008 Audi R8, and a prototype Tesla Roadster.1932 Ford Flathead Roadster The Ford Flathead in Tony Stark’s garage belongs to director Jon Favreau. He thought it would be cool to have the old Ford be the car that Stark tinkers with; it would be the car that he and his dad had restored together. It was a great idea -- until Favreau had to shoot the scene where Downey would be working on his Ford. The crew had to remove enough parts to make it seem authentic and strew them about the set, making the director think twice about his generosity with his car. Luckily for Favreau, ’32 Fords are popular to repair, restore, and even rat-rod.

A pet cockatoo will need a steady supply of appropriate items to chew and destroy. Cockatoos tend to be needier than other pet parrot species and an owner should set boundaries early on, otherwise the bird might scream for attention.

Before you drive to your nearest adoption center or pet store, have you consider how much this decision will cost you and your family? When deciding to become a pet owner, there is more to think about than just the preliminary cost of getting your new best friend. Pet ownership is a long-term investment (sometimes as much as 80 years for certain pets) that requires both your time and your money. Instead of regretting your decision later and deciding to give up your pet (like so many cases at the animal shelters and rescue foundations), it is important to consider how a pet can drastically affect your life and your financial status.

An Indonesian native, the umbrella is slightly smaller than the Moluccan cockatoo, but is not smaller in personality or charm. This out-going cockatoo is infamous for its outlandish antics and for being clingy with its owners. The umbrella can be distinguished from other white cockatoos by its wholly white crest that raises like an umbrella when the bird is excited, agitated, or ready to play (or bite!). Both the beak and legs are a dark gray, and the feathers on the undersides of the wings and tail are light yellow. Native Region / Natural Habitat The umbrella cockatoo is native to the islands of Indonesia, where it lives in tropical rainforest. Care & Feeding The umbrella cockatoo is a long-term commitment for an owner — this species can live up to 70 years with proper care and attention. Unfortunately, many of these sensitive birds don’t live that long. They are prone to self-mutilation and the infections that result from that abnormal behavior.

The best time to introduce birds to a healthy diet is during the weaning period: As soon as the chicks start moving around, provide them with spray millet to chew on. Fruits and vegetables: Initially I buy jars of fruits and vegetables in the human baby food section in the super market (i.e., Gerber's), then graduate the chicks to fresh fruits and vegetables. They contain enzymes that are vital to longevity and good health; and they cannot be reproduced in pellets or any other commercially produced diet. Another popular weaning food is soaked monkey biscuits mixed with peanut butter. Sprouted seeds -- enhanced nutrition that parrots love.

Parrots have a generally pantropical distribution with several species inhabiting temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere, as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australasia. Characteristic features of parrots include a strong, curved bill, an upright stance, strong legs, and clawed zygodactyl feet. Many parrots are vividly coloured, and some are multi-coloured. Most parrots exhibit little or no sexual dimorphism in the visual spectrum.

Fish usually migrate because of diet or reproductive needs, although in some cases the reason for migration remains unknown. Insect migration is the seasonal movement of insects, particularly those by species of dragonflies, beetles, butterflies and moths.

Though there are many types of parrots, all parrot species have a few traits in common. For example, to be classified as a parrot, the bird must have a curved beak, and its feet must be zygodactyl, which means there are four toes on each foot with two toes that point forward and two that point backward. Size Because the parrot order includes so many different species, parrot sizes vary widely. Parrots can range in size from about 3.5 to 40 inches (8.7 to 100 centimeters) and weigh 2.25 to 56 ounces (64 g to 1.6 kg), on average. The world's heaviest type of parrot is the kakapo, which can weigh up to 9 lbs. ( 4 kg). The smallest parrot is the buff-faced pygmy parrot, which is only about 3 inches (8 cm) tall and weighs just 0.4 ounces (10 g).

From ducks to eagles, from emus to finches, from frogmouths to penguins, birds comprise a marvellous assortment of creatures, but they all have some features in common. A bird is a vertebrate animal that shares the following features with other vertebrates:all vertebrates - nerve chord extending from the brain down the back, surrounded by segmented bone or cartilage (includes, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals), and relatively large brain compared to other animal groupssimilar to most vertebrates other than fish in having four limbs - but different from most in walking on the hind limbs, the forelimbs modified into wingssimilar to most fish, amphibians and reptiles in laying eggs - although some fish and some reptiles do not do so, ALL species of birds reproduce by eggssimilar to mammals, reptiles and adult amphibians in breathing with lungssimilar to mammals in their ability to regulate body temperature (including brain temperature, which is a major reason birds and mammals tend to be the most 'intelligent' of animals - however 'intelligence' is defined)They differ from all other animals in having feathers.

For some people, noise is a major consideration when bringing a parrot into the home. If you live in an apartment, you don’t want to alienate your neighbors with a Moluccan cockatoo screaming his lungs out at 7 am. You also have to think about their ability to learn sounds. I’ve heard funny, and not-so-funny, stories about African greys who learned to cry like the newborn baby in the house, imitate the construction going on next door, and let out embarrassing sounds that an owner might be reluctant to explain to visitors. Noise levels can really vary from parrot to parrot within a species, so these are general guidelines. If you are someone who relishes quiet and tends to get irritated by noise, stick with the 1s and 2s. If volume is a consideration for you, this is basically a primer on the noise level for certain species of parrot. I’m rating the noise on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being not offensive at all, to 5 being pretty capable of infuriating your neighbors.

It depends on the species, and whether you buy from a professional breeder or another source such as a pet store. Beyond the cost of the bird itself, new owners should budget for things like pellets and other dietary needs such as seeds and fruits, properly-sized cages and even bird-proofed rooms for larger birds to fly around. Depending on the breeder, availability and your location, the cost of your bird may fluctuate outside the given ranges. The list also includes some of the other expenses you should plan for while caring for your new feathered friend. Initial and Ongoing Investment for Bird Care, Food, and Housing In general (depending on the breed), housing, feeding, and caring for a bird is less expensive than caring for a dog or cat. But the costs can rise dramatically depending upon the lifespan of the bird (some birds live as long as people) and your pet's healthcare needs. According to the Kiplinger website, these are the average costs you should budget for if you're considering a parakeet or other non-exotic small bird: First-year cost: $295Annual cost: $185 (plus unforeseen vet costs)Total lifetime cost (avg. lifespan of parakeet: 15-18 years): $2,885 - $3,440Other first-year costs include the cage ($70) and the purchase price, which ranges from $12 to $65 for a parakeet. After the first year, annual costs include food ($75), toys and treats ($25), and routine vet check-ups ($85)." }, { "docid": "D2434965#0", "title": "https://pets.thenest.com/cage-size-cockatoo-6316.html\nCage Size for a Cockatoo", "text": "Cockatoos enjoy as much space as they can get. With their astonishingly intelligent bird brains, cockatoos can't stand to be cooped up in a tiny cage.

General Guidelines There is no doubt that the largest cage you can afford is best for a cockatoo. These intelligent birds love to play, explore and stretch their wings, and the larger the cage the happier the bird. Even if you are able to let your cockatoo out of his cage for much of the day, he'll still enjoy a large, comfortable cage. Minimum suggested cage sizes are just that, the very minimum size you should use. Whenever possible, buy a bigger cage. Also, when looking at the size consider the shape of the cage.

I was using it a decade ago before it became popular and widely available in grocery stores. These are some of the reasons why I love it: Coconut Oil Benefits This tropical oil is beneficial in many ways: Coconut Oil for Hair – This nourishing oil has been used for centuries in hair and its unique fat composition makes it especially beneficial for certain hair types. Use it as a hair mask, hot oil treatment, or in homemade hair products. To Moisturize and Nourish Skin – The same properties make coconut oil great for skin as well. Many people like to use it as a natural moisturizer. Its natural antioxidant properties make it great for stopping wrinkles and skin irritation.

Coconut oil consists almost entirely of saturated fat — about 92% — which sounds pretty bad on the surface. But not all saturated fats are created equal. As the old saying goes, “some are more equal than others”. Coconut oil actually helps you lose weight and stay healthy in ways that no other fat can match. In particular, note that: Coconut oil is good for cooking, because saturated fat is not harmed by heat — unlike unsaturated oils, as explained in What’s Wrong with Partially Hydrogenated Oils? Coconut oil does not contain the trans fats that produce insulin-resistance, diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune diseases, as described in in Trans Fats: Metabolic Poisons. Coconut oil does not contain the oxidized cholesterol (produced by hydrogenation and high-heat processing) that are responsible for heart disease and stroke, as explained in The Cholesterol Scam." }, { "docid": "D201539#0", "title": "http://guidedoc.com/health-benefits-almond-milk\nAlmond milk provides a healthy alternative to cowâs milk.

This guide to the benefits of almond milk will help you make the most of this nutritious food. Almond milk is considered a superfood due to its numerous health benefits. The food is commonly consumed raw as a beverage, though it may also be used as a substitute for cow’s milk, soy milk, or coconut milk in your favorite recipes. A single eight-ounce serving of almond milk per day will deliver many excellent health benefits, and adding it to your diet is as simple as pouring a glass to go with your morning breakfast. Almond milk is also lower in calories than many other types of milk. This makes it a great choice for those looking to add more nutrition to their daily diet without increasing caloric intake.

It has several health benefits and is excellent for hair and skin. Goat milk, as the name indicates, is derived from a goat which is very unlikely as the natural source of milk is the cow.

Commercial products like shampoos, body washes, and soaps are often loaded with toxic chemicals that, with long-term exposure, can create a variety of health problems. Finding replacements for these products can sometimes be frustrating. Making your own versions of them at home is the best way to control the ingredients and the quality of the end product. Plus, it is often more cost effective to make your own health and beauty products. This recipe started out as just a shampoo recipe, but after using it on our hair, we quickly realized that it made a wonderful body wash as well. Long gone are those bottles of shampoo and body wash with 20, 30, or more ingredients. This homemade product works just as well, if not better, and only had 3 base ingredients, plus whatever essential oils you might want to add.

You put in so much effort to make your hair look perfect before you walk out of the house. Only 2 minutes later you catch your reflection in a shop’s window, and all you can see is a bird’s nest where your hair used to be. It’s not an uncommon place to be and a whole lot of us, including me, have been there. Many of us brush it off, blaming it on natural texture, but that shouldn’t be the case. Frizz is a result of a lacking hair care regimen, and that’s why a little extra attention is all it takes to tackle the problem head on. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend money on expensive products and salon treatments, all you need is a little insight on what is causing your hair to frizz up, and a few ingredients from your kitchen to deal with the problem. So What’s Causing The Frizz? In short—dryness and damage.

Being a staple food in almost one third of the world, it’s amazing that Western countries are only beginning to understand coconuts and all their potential. To begin with, coconuts are considered drupes – they have three layers, the exocarp, the endocarp, and the mesocarp, which are the thick, cream-colored insides.

Read my Nutrisystem review here!Since the Earth’s inhabitance, coconuts have been utilized for their fiber, fuel, folk remedies, and even as musical instruments for some Asian and Pacific Island natives ( 1 ). Coconut History Amazingly, coconuts are probably one of the most versatile foods because they have evolved into numerous forms and functions. Once such form that coconuts exhibit is coconut water. Coconut water is the extracted liquid from young, green coconuts and has a distinct sweet, nutty taste to it. Fortunately, this beverage is extremely low in calories, incredibly hydrating, and has an abundance of potassium in just one drink – more potassium than that of four bananas.

Traditionally, it can take an hour or longer to prepare, and it must be stirred frequently during that time. Recently, however, quick-cook polenta has gained in popularity. This type can be prepared in just several minutes in a microwave, though food critics say that the taste is far inferior to the slow cooked version. Cooked polenta can be used as a base for toppings, such as sauces, cheeses, vegetables, and meat, much the same way that pasta can. In Northern Italy, it is even more popular than pasta is.

This annoying problem can bother many people, both old and young. Just like the rest of the body, the scalp has pores that secrete oil (sebum) to the surface of the scalp. When the bacteria already on the scalp combine with dead skin cells and sebum, the pores get blocked, leading to an outbreak of acne. Several factors contribute to scalp acne, such as hormonal changes (especially during adolescence and at times of menstruation), an unhealthy diet, an allergic reaction, poor hygiene, living in humid conditions, pollution, exposure to certain chemicals and oils, and mechanical factors like wearing tight headgear or habitually scratching your scalp. Stress, fatigue and depression can also contribute to this problem. Though scalp acne may not be noticeable because the scalp is mostly covered by hair, it can cause pain and inconvenience, as well as making hair care very difficult. In fact, brushing or combing your hair can become a painful task. Other symptoms include inflammation and itching.

If you’re like many people suffering from acne, you already know how many so-called remedies and over-the-counter medicines exist to treat the condition. Although conventional methods have successfully treated acne in the past, some individuals use coconut oil for its antimicrobial benefits and moisturizing qualities to combat the signs of acne. Although coconut oil may successfully treat acne at all ages, those older than 30 particularly benefit thanks to its anti-aging benefits. How It Works Coconut oil is a natural antimicrobial agent containing capric acid and lauric acid. These active ingredients kill acne-causing bacteria within the pores, reducing the occurrence of pimples. Also, because coconut oil is a natural lubricant, it can lead to softer and more balanced skin which, in turn, reduces breakouts. But coconut oil may not work for everyone. In some cases, traditional treatment methods such as benzoyl peroxide may be a more potent solution. For best results, ask your dermatologist prior to using coconut oil to treat acne." }, { "docid": "D2786227#0", "title": "http://www.stylecraze.com/articles/get-rid-of-blemishes/\n19 Best Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Blemishes On Face", "text": "Home » Skin Care » Skin Care Problems19 Best Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Blemishes On Face September 18, 2017 by Kushneet Kukreja ISSA Certified Specialist in Fitness & Nutrition Are you afraid to meet people or go out to parties because of the blemishes on your face?

Acne can affect people of all ages and its obvious symptoms are bumps, zits, and pimples on the face, neck, chest, and back. Bacteria, sebum (the oil the skin produces), and dead skin cells block pores on the skin, making them become inflamed, swollen, and fill with pus. Getting rid of spots, pimples, and pustules can be tricky, especially if the acne is moderate to severe. Advertisement The reason that many essential oils are great for treating acne is that they contain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. For example, research into essential oils like tea tree oil, rosemary oil, lavender oil, and lemon oil have shown that they possess antimicrobial activity and are effective against acne-causing bacteria. Some of these essential oils also help to relieve stress, which can sometimes aggravate or exacerbate acne. When using essential oils as part of your natural acne treatment, it’s important to remember that they should always be used on the skin with a carrier oil.

The Pearl Harbor advance-knowledge conspiracy theory is the argument that U. S. Government had advance knowledge of Japan 's December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. Ever since the Japanese attack there has been debate as to how and why the United States had been caught off guard, and how much and when American officials knew of Japanese plans for an attack.

Flynn, [3] a co-founder of the non-interventionist America First Committee, [4] launched a Pearl Harbor counter-narrative when he published a forty-six page booklet entitled The Truth about Pearl Harbor. [ 3]Several writers, including journalist Robert Stinnett, [5] retired U. S. Navy Rear Admiral Robert Alfred Theobald, [6] and Harry Elmer Barnes [7] have argued various parties high in the U. S. and British governments knew of the attack in advance and may even have let it happen or encouraged it in order to force America into the European theatre of World War II via a Japanese–American war started at \"\"the back door\"\". [ 8] [9] Evidence supporting this view is taken from quotations and source documents from the time [10] and the release of newer materials.

Stimson, authorized by Congress and carried out by Henry Clausen (the Clausen Inquiry; 1946); and the Thurmond-Spence hearing, in April 1995, which produced the Dorn Report.

Genetics is often used as a way to explain evolution, even if Charles Darwin did not know how it worked when he first came up with the original Theory of Evolution. Over time, as society developed more technology, the marriage of evolution and genetics became apparent. Now, the field of Genetics is a very important part of the Modern Synthesis of the Theory of Evolution. In order to understand how genetics plays a role in evolution, it is important to know the correct definitions of basic genetics terminology. Two such terms that will be used repeatedly are genotype and . While both terms have to do with traits shown by individuals, there are differences in their meanings. The word genotype comes from the greek words “genos” which means “birth” and “typos” which means “mark”. While the entire word “genotype” does not exactly mean “birth mark” as we think of the phrase, it does have to do with the genetics an individual is born with." }, { "docid": "D3306910#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/38603251/biology-genetics-test-study-guide-flash-cards/\nBiology Genetics Test Study Guide", "text": "29 terms smackey2017Biology Genetics Test Study Guide Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

But if you've ever wondered how your commute compares with other people, a new interactive map can tell you how long the average commute is by zip code. The map reveals that Chicago is the most populous US city with the longest average commute to work - 32.4 minutes - and Omaha is the most populous city with the shortest commute time at just 18.4 minutes.+8The map reveals that Chicago is the most populous US city with the longest average commute to work - 32.4 minutes - and Omaha is the most populous city with the shortest commute time at just 18.4 minutes. Lighter colored areas indicate longer commute times, and darker purple areas indicate shorter commute times The map was made by Auto Accessories Garage - they used data from the US Census Bureau to sort commutes by zip code and display them on an interactive map. First, the team who made the map wondered with major cities has the worst commute times and which ones had the best. So they analyzed the top 50 US cities by population and found that Chicago (32.4 minutes), Philadelphia (31.2 minutes), New York (29.5 minutes), Miami (29.5 minutes) and Los Angeles (28.9 minutes) are the top five most populous cities with the longest commute times.

B. Saunders Company Creatinine is a metabolic product of creatine and phosphocreatine, which are both found almost exclusively in muscle. Thus, creatinine production is proportional to muscle mass and varies little from day to day. However, production can change over longer periods of time if there are changes in muscle mass. Although diet ordinarily accounts for only a relatively small proportion of overall creatinine excretion, it is another source of variability in serum creatinine levels. Creatine from ingested meat is converted to creatinine and can be the source of up to 30% of total creatinine excretion. Thus, variability in meat intake can also contribute to variability in serum creatinine levels. The conversion of creatine to creatinine can occur with cooking. Since creatinine is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, ingesting cooked meat can lead to a rapid increase in serum creatinine levels." }, { "docid": "D724252#0", "title": "http://people.duke.edu/~charvey/Country_risk/pol/pol.htm\nPolitical Risk, Economic Risk and Financial Risk", "text": "Political Risk, Economic Risk and Financial Risk Claude B.

Given the increasingly global nature of investment portfolios, we believe it is very important. Our paper measures the economic content of five different measures of country risk: The International Country Risk Guide's political risk, the financial risk, economic risk and composite risk indices and Institutional Investor's country credit ratings. First, we explore whether any of these measures contain information about future expected stock returns by conducting trading simulations. Next, we conduct time-series-cross-sectional analysis linking these risk measures to future expected returns. Second, we investigate the relation between these measures and other, more standard, approaches to risk exposures. Finally, we analyze the linkages between fundamental attributes within each economy, such as book-to-price ratios, and the risk measures. Our results suggest that the country risk measures are correlated future equity returns. We find that the country risk measures are correlated with each other, however, financial risk measures contain the most information about future equity returns. Finally, we find that country risk measures are highly correlated with country equity valuation measures." }, { "docid": "D2795611#0", "title": "http://thismatter.com/money/investments/single-asset-risk.htm\nSingle Asset Risk: Standard Deviation and Coefficient of Variation", "text": "Single Asset Risk: Standard Deviation and Coefficient of Variation The return of any investment has an average, which is also the expected return, but most returns will be different from the average: some will be more, others will be less. The more individual returns deviate from the expected return, the greater the risk and the greater the potential reward. The degree to which all returns for a particular investment or asset deviate from the expected return of the investment is a measure of its risk. Standard Deviation: Measure of Absolute Risk If you recorded the returns of a sample population of investors who invested in 5-year Treasury notes (T-notes), you would note that everyone received a constant rate of return that didn't deviate, since, once bought, T-notes pay a constant rate of interest with no credit risk. On the other hand, if you had recorded the returns of a sample of investors who had invested in small stocks at the same time, you would see a much wider variation in their returns—some would have done much better than the T-note investors, while others would have done worse, and each of their returns would vary over time. This variability can be measured with statistical methods, because investment returns generally follow a normal distribution, which shows the probability of each deviation from the mean, which is the average return, or the expected return, for a particular asset. The sum of the deviations, both positive and negative, forms a normal distribution about the mean. The normal distribution describes the variation of many natural quantities, such as height and weight. It also describes the distribution of investment returns. The normal distribution has the property that small deviations from the mean are more probable than larger deviations." }, { "docid": "D1361192#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_metrics\nIncome inequality metrics", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Income inequality metrics or income distribution metrics are used by social scientists to measure the distribution of income, and economic inequality among the participants in a particular economy, such as that of a specific country or of the world in general. While different theories may try to explain how income inequality comes about, income inequality metrics simply provide a system of measurement used to determine the dispersion of incomes. The concept of inequality is distinct from poverty [1] and fairness. Income distribution has always been a central concern of economic theory and economic policy. Classical economists such as Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo were mainly concerned with factor income distribution, that is, the distribution of income between the main factors of production, land, labour and capital. It is often related to wealth distribution although separate factors influence wealth inequality. Modern economists have also addressed this issue, but have been more concerned with the distribution of income across individuals and households. Important theoretical and policy concerns include the relationship between income inequality and economic growth.

In this situation the coefficient estimates of the multiple regression may change erratically in response to small changes in the model or the data. Multicollinearity does not reduce the predictive power or reliability of the model as a whole, at least within the sample data set; it only affects calculations regarding individual predictors. That is, a multivariate regression model with collinear predictors can indicate how well the entire bundle of predictors predicts the outcome variable, but it may not give valid results about any individual predictor, or about which predictors are redundant with respect to others. In the case of perfect multicollinearity (in which one independent variable is an exact linear combination of the others) the design matrix has less than full rank, and therefore the moment matrix cannot be inverted. Under these circumstances, for a general linear model, the ordinary least-squares estimator does not exist.

When a regression model with p independent variables contains only random differences from a true model, the average value of C p is (p+1), the number of parameters. Thus, in evaluating many alternative regression models, our goal is to find models whose C p is close to or below (p+1). ( Statistics for Managers, page 917. ) C p Statistic formula:. C p= ( (1-R p2) (n-T) / (1-R T2)) – [n – 2 (p+1)]p = number of independent variable included in a regression model T = total number of parameters (including the intercept) to be estimated in the full regression model Rp2 = coefficient of multiple determination for a regression model that has p independent variables R T2= coefficient of multiple determination for a full regression model that contains all T estimated parameters.

Relative variation is useful because it can be expressed as a percentage, and is independent of the units in which the sample or population data are measured. For example, you can use a measure of relative variation to compare the uncertainty or variation associated with the temperature in two different countries, even if one country uses Fahrenheit temperatures and the other uses Celsius temperatures. As another example, a measure of relative variation can be useful for comparing the returns earned by two portfolio managers. It wouldn’t make any sense to compare the mean returns achieved by two different managers without explicitly considering the levels of risk that they have incurred. A measure of relative variation provides a number that considers both the risk and the return of a portfolio, so that it can be determined which portfolio is riskier relative to the return. You can use several different types of measures of relative variation. One of the most popular is known as the coefficient of variation (CV), which indicates how “spread out” the members of a sample or population are relative to the mean. The coefficient of variation is measured as a percentage, so it’s independent of the units in which the mean and standard deviation are measured. This enables the relative variation of different samples or populations to be compared directly to each other." }, { "docid": "D743867#0", "title": "https://www.audioenglish.org/dictionary/statistics.htm\nSTATISTICS", "text": "\"Audio English.org » Dictionary » S » Station Of The Cross ...

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature. [ 1]Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance. When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases. Thus, the molecules begin vibrating/moving more and usually maintain a greater average separation.

It represents the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean. The coefficient of variation is a helpful statistic in comparing the degree of variation from one data series to the other, although the means are considerably different from each other. As expressed by Investopedia, the CV enables the determination of assumed volatility as compared to the amount of return expected from an investment. Putting it simple, a lower ratio of standard deviation to mean return indicates a better risk-return trade off. Formula for Coefficient of Variation Being calculated as the ratio of standard deviation to the mean, the coefficient of variation is computed using the following formula: Coefficient of Variation = Standard Deviation / Expected Return Calculating the coefficient of variation The main steps involved in computation of coefficient of variation are:1. Compute the sample mean, using the formula μ = 'x i / n, where n indicates the number of data point x i in the sample, and the total is over all values of i. The term i is read as a subscript of x.2. Compute the sample variance, using the formula ' (x i - μ)^2 / (n-1). For instance, in the above mentioned sample set, the sample variance is [0.5^2 + 1.5^2 + 0.5^2 + 1.5^2] / 3 = 1.667.3.

Menarini Gmb H, Vienna, Austria) for the measurement of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) in whole blood in dairy goats. Additionally, glucose concentration was analyzed with the FSP device. For method comparison, the samples were also analyzed in the laboratory by standard methods, which served as the gold standard in our study. A further objective was to evaluate the agreement between samples obtained by minimal invasive venipuncture of an ear vein and measurements of whole blood samples from the jugular vein (vena jugularis). In total, 173 blood sample pairs collected from 28 goats were obtained from an ear vein and from the jugular vein. The Spearman correlation coefficients (r sp) for BHBA concentrations determined with the FSP or GML and the gold standard were 0.95 and 0.85 for the ear vein and 0.98 and 0.88 for the jugular vein, respectively. Bland-Altman plots of differences showed a positive bias of 0.12 (ear vein) and 0.21 (jugular vein) when determination was performed with the FSP and a negative bias of 0.21 (ear vein) and 0.24 (jugular vein) when using the GML. For the FSP, applying the adjusted thresholds determined by ROC analysis of 0.9 (ear vein) and 1.0 mmol/L (jugular vein) allowed to distinguish between healthy goats and animals with hyperketonemia with sensitivities (Se) and specificities (Sp) for samples from the ear vein of 0.98 and 0.85, and from the jugular vein of 0.99 and 0.94, respectively. For the GML, adjusted thresholds were 0.5 mmol/L for the ear vein (Se = 0.94, Sp = 0.75) and 0.6 mmol/L for the jugular vein (Se = 0.88, Sp = 0.91).

It is often used as a gauge of economic inequality, measuring income distribution or, less commonly, wealth distribution among a population. The coefficient ranges from 0 (or 0%) to 1 (or 100%), with 0 representing perfect equality and 1 representing perfect inequality. Values over 1 are theoretically possible due to negative income or wealth. A country in which every resident has the same income would have an income Gini coefficient of 0. A country in one resident earned all the income, while everyone else earned nothing, would have an income Gini coefficient of 1. The same analysis can be applied to wealth distribution (the \"\"wealth Gini coefficient\"\"), but because wealth is more difficult to measure than income, Gini coefficients usually refer to income and appear simply as \"\"Gini coefficient\"\" or \"\"Gini index,\"\" without specifying that they refer to income.

Your cells use Co Q10 for growth and maintenance. Levels of Co Q10 in your body decrease as you age. Co Q10 levels have also been found to be lower in people with certain conditions, such as heart disease. Co Q10 is found in meat, fish and whole grains. The amount of Co Q10 found in these dietary sources, however, isn't enough to significantly increase Co Q10 levels in your body. As a supplement, Co Q10 supplement is available as capsules, tablets and by IV. Co Q10 might help treat certain heart conditions, as well as migraines and Parkinson's disease.

This is not a \"\"side effect,\"\" of statins, but a direct, inherent function of the drugs. In fact, the use of statins can decrease the body's synthesis of coenzyme Q10 by as much as 40%! 1Functions of Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is found in virtually all cell membranes, hence its alternative name \"\"ubiquinone.\"\" The antioxidant activity of vitamin E requires the Co Q10 to be available, to which vitamin E will pass on the unpaired electron (free radical) that it has scavenged. Co Q10 also acts as an anti-oxidant independently, protecting against DNA damage and other forms of oxidative damage caused by the consumption of excess polyunsaturated fatty acids. Coenzyme Q10 is also an essential component of the mitochondria (the \"\"power-house\"\" of the cell), playing a critical role in the formation of ATP, the body's fundamental energy unit, from carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism. It appears that Coenzyme Q10 might be involved in maintaining the proper p H of lysosomes, which are a digestive component of cells, as well. 2Coenzyme Q10 and the Heart In his book, The Doctor's Heart Cure, Dr. Al Sears, MD, director of the south Florida Center for Health and Wellness, devotes an entire chapter to the importance of Co Q10 to the heart. According to Dr. Sears, coenzyme Q10 prevents arteriosclerosis by reducing the accumulation of oxidized fats in blood vessels, eases high blood pressure, regulates the rhythm of the heart, and improves chest pain and exercise toleration in angina patients." }, { "docid": "D1230840#0", "title": "http://www.hearttechnology.com/technical_benefits.html\nTECHNICAL BENEFITS OF THE VITAMINS AND AMINOS IN PAULING'S THERAPY", "text": "\"The ascorbic and amino acids (Lp (a) binding inhibitors) recommended by Linus Pauling for coronary heart disease are scientifically proven to: Lower cholesterol as a natural HMG-Co A reductase inhibitor Diminish, dissolve and reverse atherosclerotic plaque byinhibiting the binding of Lp (a) to the arterial wall Relieve the pain of angina pectoris Reduce the likelihood of blood clotting, heart attack orstroke Strengthen the cardiovascular system by increasing theformation of collagen Increase heart and other muscle strength and stamina Reduce blood and tissue lipids (fats)Replace the missing \"\"stress\"\" hormone Increase antioxidant intake and activity to slow aging Help natural immunity against bacterial, viral, and fungaldiseases, including antibiotic-resistant strains Promote overall health and the feeling of well-being Lower cholesterol as a natural HMG-Co A reductase inhibitor.

If you are currently taking a prescription medication, the answer to that question would be “yes.” Prescription medications deplete the body of essential nutrients. The ways that drugs negatively affect the status of nutrients in the body include inhibition of absorption, synthesis, transportation, storage and metabolism or excretion of individual nutrients. Older adults especially are in the high risk group of developing nutrient deficiencies due to the multiple prescription drugs they are taking in addition to consuming inadequate diets, thus compounding the problem of nutrient deficiency. In 1991, older Americans filled 650 million prescriptions for drugs. The latest survey data indicate that 86 percent of Medicare beneficiaries are taking prescription medication. Many commonly prescribed medications may in some cases actually deplete your body of essential nutrients needed to treat the condition you are taking the medication to address. For example, beta blockers used to treat hypertension, angina and arrhythmia deplete the body of coenzyme Q10, which according to numerous scientific research (most recently in the March 1999 Journal of Human Hypertension) is actually part of the protocol to treat such conditions.

Your body synthesizes some coenzyme Q-10 on its own, but you can get some from your diet as well. Fatty Fish Because coenzyme Q-10 is fat soluble, requiring fat for absorption and storage, generally the more fat in the fish you prefer, the more coenzyme Q-10 you’ll get. Opt for fatty cold-water fish like salmon, tuna and herring. Three ounces of cooked herring, for example, has 2.3 milligrams. A less fatty variety, such as rainbow trout, has closer to 0.9 milligram of coenzyme Q-10, from a 3-ounce steamed serving. Beef and Poultry Beef and chicken are some of the richest sources of coenzyme Q-10. A 3-ounce cooked serving of beef, which is roughly the size of a deck of cards, contains approximately 2.6 milligrams of the nutrient.

As with champagne, cognac can only come from one region of the world (the Cognac region of France, located north east of Bordeaux and centered around the city of Cognac). In that region there are a number of different soil compositions which lend flavor and varied characteristics to the grapes made into cognac. The most desirable of these soils is classified as grand champagn e. In this case ‘champagne’ does not refer to the type of grape but the type of soil, with champagne literally meaning ‘chalk’ in French. In addition to the specification of where cognac can come from there are mandates on which type of grapes can be used. Ninety percent of cognac must be made from either the ugni blanc, folle blanche or colombard grapes (all white grape wines). These grapes are harvested and made into a ‘wine’ that is very low in sugar and has absolutely no sulfites. There’s a misnomer with cognac that ‘good cognac comes from bad wine’, but that’s a total myth.

Once the brandy is in the bottle, that aging stopped. If the bottle is protected from light, it has not been opened, and the cork has not been altered, you are able to preserve your bottle of Fine Cognac for a really long time! However, be aware that in contrary to wine, Cognac does not age in the bottle, so it will not improve with time. So, Cognac in a bottle is a ‘dead’ product with an basically unlimited shelf life, as long as it is unopened!Once the bottle is opened, the contents may begin to evaporate slowly and some flavor may be lost over time, but the alcohol will remain safe to consume. If the bottle has been opened and a part of the content is poured out, a part of the volatile components (formed during distillation and bearings), and evaporates in the empty space of the bottle.

Cup the balloon in both hands and gently swirl the cognac around for a couple of minutes. Your body heat will warm the glass and the cognac, releasing the esters from the alcohol and reducing the harshness of the cognac when you drink it. Alternatively put your RM in a refrigerator for an hour or so until it is nicely chilled, this also reduces the harshness of the cognac.

Its name comes from the Dutch “branwijn”, burnt wine which is quite fitting as this is a distilled beverage made on the basis of wine. Brandy is typically 40% alcohol which is first distilled from wine and then barrel-aged mostly for three or more years. Some types of brandies are aged in wooden casks while some are colored with caramel coloring to make it look aged and some brandies are also produced with a combined effect of aging and coloring. Cognac Cognac is French brandy which is made from special grapes that are grown in a specified region. The name cognac comes from the town of Cognac in France and it is produced in the wine growing region which surrounds the town from where it gets the name, in the French Departements of Charente and Charente-Maritime.

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Whisky is drunk straight, with water or ice, or mixed with other spirits or drinks (such as \"\"Rye & Coke\"\" or \"\"Rye & Ginger\"\"), including hot coffee (Irish coffee). Malt whisky consists of whisky made from 100 percent malted barley; malt whisky from one distillery is called single malt to distinguish it from blended varieties. The grains used to make whisky include barley in Ireland, Scotland, Canada, and the United States, rye in Canada and the United States, and corn in the United States. Pure pot still whiskey is made in Ireland from a combination of malted and unmalted barley. Various types of straight whiskey, such as Rye whiskey, Tennessee whiskey, and Bourbon whiskey which are produced in the U. S. are aged in charred, oak barrels. Blended whisky is made from a combination of any of the above whiskies with the similar grain whisky or neutral grain spirits, which are much less expensive to produce than the other types of whisky. Blends will almost always identify the type of base whisky used, ie. blended Scotch, blended Canadian, or blended Bourbon." }, { "docid": "D735024#0", "title": "https://www.britannica.com/topic/brandy\nBrandy", "text": "Brandy, alcoholic beverage distilled from wine or a fermented fruit mash. The term used alone generally refers to the grape product; brandies made from the wines or fermented mashes of other fruits are commonly identified by the specific fruit name. With the exception of certain fruit types, known as white types, brandies are usually aged. Aging in wooden containers deepens colour to amber, the use of paraffin-lined casks or earthenware maintains the original clear colour, and the addition of a caramel solution darkens colour. Beverage brandy contains about 50 percent alcohol by volume; brandy used to fortify sherry, Madeira, and the other dessert wines contains about 80–95 percent alcohol by volume. Like other distilled liquor, brandy does not improve after bottling. Star or letter designations, formerly indicating age, are used by shippers to express product quality. The name comes from the Dutch brandewijn (“burnt wine”), referring to the application of heat in distillation. Commercial distillation of brandy from wine originated in the 16th century.

It involves recognising distorted thinking and learning to replace it with more realistic substitute ideas. Its practitioners hold that much (though not all) clinical depression is caused by irrational thoughts. Cognitive therapy is often used in conjunction with mood stabilizing medications to treat bipolar disorder. According to the U. S-based National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists:\"\"There are several approaches to cognitive-behavioral therapy, including Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Rational Behavior Therapy, Rational Living Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Dialectic Behavior Therapy. \"\" Thoughts as the cause of emotions With thoughts stipulated as being the cause of emotions rather than vice-versa, cognitive therapists reverse the causal order more generally used by psychotherapists. The therapy is essentially, therefore, to identify those irrational thoughts that are making one unhappy and what it is about them that is irrational; this is done in an effort to reject the depressing thoughts and replace them with more accurate and more cheering thoughts. Cognitive therapy is not an overnight process. Even after a patient has learned to recognize when and where his thought processes are going awry, it can take months of concerted effort to replace an invalid thought with a more suitable one.

The diagnosis of panic disorder requires recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and at least one of the following characteristics: persistent concern about having an additional attack (anticipatory anxiety); worry about the implications of an attack or its consequences (e.g., a catastrophic medical or mental consequence) and making a significant change in behavior as a consequence of the attacks. A variety of pharmacologic interventions is available, as are non-pharmacologic cognitive or cognitive-behavioral therapies that have demonstrated safety and efficacy in the treatment of panic disorder.

Construct a personalized list of relapse warning signs that lead the relapser from stable recovery back to chemical use. Develop warning sign management strategies for the critical warning signs. Develop a structured recovery program that will allow clients to identify and manage the critical warning signs as they occur. Develop a relapse early intervention plan that will provide the client and significant others with step-by-step instructions to interrupt alcohol and other drug use should it recur.1.3 Theoretical Rationale/Mechanism of Action The CMRPT is a clinical procedure that integrates the disease model of chemical addiction and abstinence-based counseling methods with recent advances in cognitive, affective, behavioral, and social therapies.

By Tori De Angelis January 2008, Vol 39, No. 1Print version: page 40It's a bittersweet fact: Traumatic events such as the Sept. 11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have enabled researchers to learn a lot more about how best to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). \"\" The advances made have been nothing short of outstanding,\"\" says Boston University psychologist Terence M. Keane, Ph D, director of the behavioral science division of the National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and a contributor to the original PTSD diagnosis. \"\" These are very important times in the treatment of PTSD. \"\" In perhaps the most important news, in November, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS), a professional society that promotes knowledge on severe stress and trauma, issued new PTSD practice guidelines. Using a grading system from \"\"A\"\" to \"\"E,\"\" the guidelines label several PTSD treatments as \"\"A\"\" treatments based on their high degree of empirical support, says Keane, one of the volume's editors. The guidelines-the first since 2000-update and generally confirm recommendations of other major practice-related bodies, including the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Defense, the American Psychiatric Association, and Great Britain's and Australia's national health-care guidelines, he says. In other PTSD-treatment advances, researchers are adding medications and virtual-reality simulations to proven treatments to beef up their effectiveness.

Although many behaviors could be considered as abnormal, this branch of psychology generally deals with behavior in a clinical context. [ 1] There is a long history of attempts to understand and control behavior deemed to be aberrant or deviant (statistically, functionally, morally or in some other sense), and there is often cultural variation in the approach taken. The field of abnormal psychology identifies multiple causes for different conditions, employing diverse theories from the general field of psychology and elsewhere, and much still hinges on what exactly is meant by \"\"abnormal\"\". There has traditionally been a divide between psychological and biological explanations, reflecting a philosophical dualism in regard to the mind-body problem. There have also been different approaches in trying to classify mental disorders. Abnormal includes three different categories; they are subnormal, supernormal and paranormal. [ 2]The science of abnormal psychology studies two types of behaviors: adaptive and maladaptive behaviors. Behaviors that are maladaptive suggest that some problem (s) exist, and can also imply that the individual is vulnerable and cannot cope with environmental stress, which is leading them to have problems functioning in daily life.

Surveys of psychologists who treat patients with PTSD show that the majority do not use exposure therapy and most believe that exposure therapy is likely to exacerbate symptoms. 7,8 However, individuals with trauma histories and PTSD express a preference for exposure therapy over other treatments. 9 Furthermore, exposure therapy does not appear to lead to symptom exacerbation or treatment discontinuation. 10 Indeed, a wealth of evidence indicates that exposure-based therapy is associated with improved symptomatic and functional outcomes for patients with PTSD. 11The available research literature suggests that exposure-based therapy should be considered the first-line treatment for a variety of anxiety disorders." }, { "docid": "D2252938#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy_for_insomnia\nCognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia ( CBT-I) is a technique for treating insomnia without (or alongside) medications.

Purpose Theoretically, cognitive-behavioral therapy can be employed in any situation in which there is a pattern of unwanted behavior accompanied by distress and impairment. It is a recommendedtreatment option for a number of mental disorders, including affective (mood) disorders,personality disorders, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eatingdisorders, substance abuse, anxiety or panic disorder, agoraphobia, post-traumatic stressdisorder (PTSD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is also frequently used as a tool to deal with chronic pain for patients with illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis, backproblems, and cancer. Patients with sleep disorders may also find cognitive-behavioral therapy a useful treatment for insomnia. Precautions Cognitive-behavioral therapy may not be suitable for some patients. Those who do not have a specific behavioral issue they wish to address and whose goals for therapy are to gain insightinto the past may be better served by psychodynamic therapy." }, { "docid": "D147508#0", "title": "http://behavioraltech.org/resources/whatisdbt.cfm\nWhat is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?", "text": "What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?

D. ~ 8 min read Social Anxiety Disorder — formerly known as social phobia — is commonly treated by either psychotherapy or certain types of psychiatric medications. Social phobia is characterized by a persistent fear of social situations or performance situations (such as public speaking) where embarrassment might occur. The core fear underlying social anxiety is the fear of negative evaluation by others. While both psychotherapy and medications have been shown to be effective in the treatment of social anxiety disorder, a combination approach to treatment — utilizing both at the same time — may be the most timely and beneficial. While some people may find relief from some social anxiety symptoms through trying simple self-help techniques, most people with a diagnosed social phobia condition will need professional treatment in order to overcome it. Psychotherapy for Social Anxiety Psychotherapy is a very effective method of treatment for social anxiety disorder. Specifically, cognitive behavioral treatments — which include techniques such as exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring without exposure, exposure therapy with cognitive restructuring, and social skills training — appear to be highly effective in treating social anxiety in a time-limited manner. Most cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be administered within 16 sessions (usually one session per week).

Posted on July 18, 2012 by Peter Coil splitting is the practice of shutting off (or otherwise fading out) one coil of a humbucker, leaving behind a single coil for a brighter tone. Coil splitting is often confused with a single coil option known as coil tapping, in much the same way that the terms ‘vibrato bar’ and ‘tremolo bar’ are considered interchangeable even though only one is technically correct. So what is coil tapping, and how is it different to coil splitting? Coil tapping is when a wire runs off of the pickup windings at a certain point, somewhere short of the full amount. This means you can install a switch to select between a single coil pickup’s full output or a lower output, giving you two distinct levels of power from one pickup. The tapped output level will give you a more vintage-like sound, while a hotter, more modern voice is available from the full-powered setting. This can give you more precise heat-of-the-moment control over the output compared to simply using the guitar’s volume knob to reduce the output level. And if you’re using a particularly sensitive tube amp you can even use the tapped level as your default rhythm setting, then hit the amp with higher output for solos by flipping to the full power level. You can also have some real fun by using a coil tap switch in combination with an input-dependent effect device such as an envelope filter pedal." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2788857#0", "title": "http://www.firemountaingems.com/resources/ask-the-experts/results?term=askjumpcat\n.", "text": "\"Topics: Wire, Pliers, Jumprings Q.

A guy suggested that I get the pickup coil tapped for better cleans... what does this mean?2 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Coil Tapping is a procedure to make a Humbucker pickup on your Guitar have single coil capability. This will give your guitar more total sound options. For example, if you have your lead humbucker pickup coil tapped, it would give you the option of using only one of the pickups within the humbucker to get a single coil sound. Usually, a switch is used to engage the coil tap option on coil tapped guitars so you can switch back and forth (toggle) between sounds. Either a Push/Pull Knob can be used or an actual switch can be added to the guitar. More than one pickup can be coil tapped on a guitar too. So if you have two hum bucker pickups on your guitar, you could coil tap both to get only the single coil pickups to engage. Tapping the Bridge and Neck pickup to single coil sound may actually give a Telecaster type sound (Single coil bridge and neck position used together). Also, depending on the switch that is used, you could potentially use different combinations of sounds on the guitar." }, { "docid": "D3281299#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_purpose_of_blow_out_coil_with_laminated_core_in_ac_power_contactor\nHow do you fix a 12000 btu Goodman AC split unit if the evaporator starts but the condenser contactor coil is not getting the 220v supply when you turn it on?", "text": "\"Jehiatt 2,374 Contributions How do you fix a 12000 btu Goodman AC split unit if the evaporator starts but the condenser contactor coil is not getting the 220v supply when you turn it on?

The idea with a coil tap is when winding a single coil pickup, you stop the winder part way through the winding process, attach a new lead wire directly to the magnet coil wire at that spot, then continue winding; this new lead wire is the “tap” for your single coil pickup, giving you access to multiple pickup impedances.

Hold it to the light and watch the 'heat waves' moving down along the outer edges of the water in the jug. This is called Thermal convection. The glass is cooling the outer edges of the water down quicker than the water in the center of the jug.

Introduction The \"\"Islamic Awareness\"\" team is faced with another anachronistic statement in the Qur'an. Surah 12:20 tells us: They sold him [Joseph] for a miserable price, for a few dirhams counted out [ darahima ma‘dudatin ]; in such low estimation did they hold him!The problem with this passage is the fact that dirhams did not exist during the time of Joseph. The \"\"Islamic Awareness\"\" team must find a way to put dirhams into the hands of people, long before these coins [or any coins] existed. As in other articles, the \"\"Islamic Awareness\"\" team will attempt to broaden the definition of \"\"dirham\"\" to such a degree that nearly any ancient coin, by implication, could be considered a \"\"dirham\"\". After failing to demonstrate the existence of coins, let alone a coin called a \"\"dirham\"\", near the time of Joseph, the \"\"Islamic Awareness\"\" team goes on the attack, claiming that the Bible makes a similar error. In this paper, we will respond to their claims. Dirham: A Historical & Philological Investigation The \"\"Islamic Awareness\"\" team notes: The pre-Islamic romance poetry of ‘Antara mentions the word dirham. ' Antara Ibn Shaddad al-'Absi can be considered \"\"pre-Islamic\"\" - he wrote his poetry sometime around 580 A. D., during the early life of Muhammad.

Highly reflective and malleable, silver has been transformed into everything from fine flatware to mirrors, but one of its most enduring uses is as a personal adornment. Because silver does not tarnish when worn, it became associated with purity. Its pale hue linked it with the moon, and early alchemists used the crescent moon as their symbol for the element. Although silver tarnishes easily, it does not corrode or rust, so it became a metal of choice for coinage. Silver jewelry's lustrous gleam varies depending on how it is alloyed and polished. It can have a mirror-bright shine or take on a softly luminous appearance when brushed or frosted. Although it is considered a precious metal, silver costs far less than gold or platinum, making it a good choice for artisans and jewelry designers who want to create large, dramatic jewelry at a lower cost. The metal is also a popular choice to pair with certain semi-precious gems; amber, turquoise, and garnets are often set in silver to highlight their rich colors. Versatile and economical, silver can be worked into thick chains, bold earrings, and broad cuffs or look as delicate as lace." }, { "docid": "D360532#0", "title": "http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/coins-and-tokens/\nCoins and Tokens", "text": "\"Coins and Tokens Coins are issued by governments for use as money.

Downloadchapter 3 Some Aspects of Wage Payments and Coinage in Ancient Rome, First to Third Centuries ce∗ Johan van Heesch The Roman Empire stretched over more than thirty modern states, from Great Britain in the west to Jordan in the east and from the Netherlands in the north to Egypt and Morocco in the south. Although the empire was ruled by a single emperor and by a fairly centralized government, there were important social and economic differences across such a wide territory. In that pre-industrial society, mass production and very large factories were excep- tional, and few really large towns existed, among them Rome, Alexandria, and Antioch, cities that were essentially parasites on the countryside, which was where at least eighty per cent of people lived, working in small villages or on farms. Coinage use and coinage circulation patterns varied from one area to another and it is certain that barter and other forms of payment were used side by side in more isolated areas of the empire. During the first three centuries of the Roman Empire the Roman impe- rial government minted nine different denominations of coins in three met- als (gold, silver, and bronze), which in itself is sufficient reason to believe that the Roman monetary economy was fairly well developed and that coins – at least in major towns – were probably used in almost the same way as today." }, { "docid": "D2457948#0", "title": "http://projects.exeter.ac.uk/RDavies/arian/origins.html\nOrigins of Money and of Banking", "text": "\"Origins of Money and of Banking The history of credit and banking goes back much further than the history of coins.

An elicitation picture naming task was designed to assess these abilities across a range of word-formation categories. Adult speakers demonstrated well-developed word-formation skills in patterns both typical and non-typical for their native language. In contrast with adult results, preschool children predominantly coined innovations conforming to the general pattern of their language: Polish children favoring deriva- tion and American children favoring compounding. The results show that although children are improving their word- formation skills during the preschool years, they need much more experience to come to the mature proficiency in using the variety of word-formation patterns available in their language.

It was composed in 1946–48, shortly after Cage's introduction to Indian philosophy and the teachings of art historian Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, both of which became major influences on the composer's later work. Significantly more complex than his other works for prepared piano, [1] [2] Sonatas and Interludes is generally recognized as one of Cage's finest achievements. [ 3] [4]The cycle consists of sixteen sonatas (thirteen of which are cast in binary form, the remaining three in ternary form) and four more freely structured interludes. The aim of the pieces is to express the eight permanent emotions of the rasa Indian tradition. In Sonatas and Interludes, Cage elevated his technique of rhythmic proportions to a new level of complexity. [ 2] In each sonata a short sequence of natural numbers and fractions defines the structure of the work and that of its parts, informing structures as localized as individual melodic lines. [ 5]History of composition Cage underwent an artistic crisis in the early 1940s.

It is left to the best judgement of the investigator to decide whether treating outliers is necessary and how to go about it. So, why identifying the extreme values is important? Because, it can drastically bias/change the fit estimates and predictions. Let me illustrate this using the cars dataset. To better understand the implications of outliers better, I am going to compare the fit of a simple linear regression model on cars dataset with and without outliers.

Different musical cultures have adopted various designs for the bow. For instance, in some bows a single cord is stretched between the ends of the stick. In the Western tradition of bow making —bows for the instruments of the violin and viol families—a hank of horsehair is normally employed. The manufacture of bows is considered a demanding craft, and well-made bows command high prices.

Musicians play some string instruments by plucking the strings with their fingers or a plectrum —and others by hitting the strings with a light wooden hammer or by rubbing the strings with a bow. In some keyboard instruments, such as the harpsichord , the musician presses a key that plucks the string. With bowed instruments, the player rubs the strings with a horsehair bow, causing them to vibrate. With a hurdy-gurdy, the musician operates a mechanical wheel that rubs the strings.

Although it is notoriously difficult and can be frustrating for beginners, one does this by relaxing and coordinating muscles in the throat, mouth, and lips. This technique is called \"\"bending\"\", a term borrowed from guitarists, who literally \"\"bend\"\" a string in order to create changes in pitch. Using bending, a player can reach all the notes on the chromatic scale. \"\" Bending\"\" also creates the glissando characteristic of much blues harp and country harmonica playing. Bending on a guitar bends the pitch upward. However, typically \"\"bending\"\" on a harmonica means the pitch falls downward.

And to be extra clear, I am not talking about the meaning in abstract or philosophical terms, but tangibly – in much the same way I might answer if asked what my wife means to me. The trigger for this entirely personal discourse comes from reading various articles and viewing various You Tube videos and speeches from self-styled champions of liberty (COL). There is even an entire conference, Mark Skousen's Freedom Fest, dedicated to the topic. Invariably, these well-meaning COL rail against “The Man” (something I do myself), accentuating their public angst by sharing stories of being molested by the TSA or otherwise inconvenienced by minions of the state. It is my contention that most of these individuals, and certainly the majority of “freedom-loving” Americans, don't actually understand the meaning of liberty, but rather give the matter little more than lip service. And again, I don't mean liberty in an abstract way – like, say, “world peace” – but tangibly.

A large number of concertos and sonatas have been written for it. It is less common in popular music, but the instrument is sometimes featured in pop and rock recordings. Among the most famous Baroque works for the cello are J. S. Bach's Unaccompanied Suites for Cello (or as they are more commonly known, The Bach Cello Suites).

These are all a reflection of people not really pulling Bootstrap apart enough to understand how to use it as a tool. Sticking a link to bootstrapcdn and using standard classes works until it doesn't, and using the LESS or SASS version directly gives you a lot more power. You can customize things using variables to make them look the way that you want without fighting the framework. You can get rid of the \"\"unnecessary\"\" classes to give it some semantic loving.

Improving one's technique generally entails practicing exercises that improve one's muscular sensitivity and agility. Technique is independent of musicality. [ citation needed] Compositional technique is the ability and knowledge composers use to create music, and may be distinguished from instrumental or performance technique, which in classical music is used to realize compositions, but may also be used in musical improvisation. Extended techniques are distinguished from more simple and more common techniques. Musical technique may also be distinguished from music theory, in that performance is a practical matter, but study of music theory is often used to understand better and to improve techniques. Techniques such as intonation or timbre, articulation, and musical phrasing are nearly universal to all instruments. To improve their technique, musicians often practice ear training.

Tissue deposition of monosodium urate monohydrate crystals in supersaturated extracellular fluids of the joints and in certain other sites results in acute gouty arthritis, chronic arthritis, and renal disease. The goal of the 2012 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) guidelines was to develop systematic nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic recommendations for effective treatments in gout with an acceptable risk/benefit ratio. Four specific areas of gout management covered by the guidelines were urate-lowering therapy (ULT), chronic gouty arthritis with tophaceous disease, analgesic and anti-inflammatory management of acute gouty arthritis, and pharmacologic anti-inflammatory prophylaxis of attacks of gouty arthritis. Study Synopsis and Perspective New gout guidelines from the ACR are meant to improve gout management by providing clinicians with clear, readily implemented guidance on ULT (including diet and lifestyle changes), chronic tophaceous gouty arthropathy (CTGA), analgesic and anti-inflammatory management of acute gouty arthritis, and drug prophylaxis of acute attacks. The guidelines, reported in 2 parts in the October issue of Arthritis Care & Research, include guidance on the new drugs febuxostat and pegloticase, which have been recently approved for gout management and are not yet addressed in the European League Against Rheumatism or British Society for Rheumatology gout guidelines. Senior author Robert Terkeltaub, MD, told Medscape Medical News ,\"\"This is the first time in the 78-year history of ACR that there have been guidelines for the management of gout. This indicates how seriously people in rheumatology take this and how common the problem has become, with more than 8 million cases in the US, affecting 3.9% of adults. What we have here is a disease that is very well understood but ridiculously poorly managed.\"\" Dr. Terkeltaub is chief of rheumatology at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in San Diego, California, and professor of medicine and associate division director at the University of California in San Diego.

Gout is characterized by sudden, severe pain in the joints, which is caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood. Colchicine is also used in adults and children ages 4 and older to treat familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), which is a condition that causes fever, pain, and swelling of the stomach, lungs, and joints. The drug is in a class of medicines called anti-gout agents. It works by affecting the way your body responds to uric acid crystals, thereby reducing swelling and pain. Colchicine was developed prior to federal regulations requiring the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to review all marketed drug products, so not all uses of the drug have been approved by the FDA. As of 2009, Colcrys is the only brand of colchicine that has been approved. Colchicine Warnings Before taking colchicine, you should tell your doctor if you've had or have ever had: Kidney disease Liver disease Heart disease A blood disorder A stomach ulcer Ulcerative colitis Crohn's disease Intestinal bleeding Any severe gastrointestinal disorder If you're taking colchicine to prevent a gout attack and you experience an attack during treatment, call your doctor right away. Your physician may instruct you to take extra doses of the medicine.

Dressler's syndrome is believed to be an immune system response after damage to heart tissue or to the pericardium, from events such as a heart attack, surgery or traumatic injury. Symptoms include chest pain, which may be similar to chest pain experienced during a heart attack. Dressler's syndrome may also be called postpericardiotomy syndrome, post-myocardial infarction syndrome and post-cardiac injury syndrome. With recent improvements in heart attack treatment, Dressler's syndrome is less common than it used to be. Symptoms Symptoms are likely to appear weeks to months after a heart attack, surgery or injury to the chest. Symptoms might include: Chest pain Fever When to see a doctor Seek emergency care for persistent chest pain, which may indicate a recurring heart attack or other disorder. Causes Dressler's syndrome is associated with an immune system response to heart damage.

Here we discuss the soundness and weaknesses of the chemical and biochemical evidence marshaled to support these associations, as well as the mechanisms by which tubulin or microtubules may regulate functions at the plasma membrane. Previous article Next article Keywords Microtubule Integral membrane protein Linker Electrostatic Receptor Channel1. Historical introduction Tubulin, present in all eukaryotes, is an abundant, hydrophilic, heterodimeric protein that is the chief component of microtubules, ciliary axonemes, basal bodies and centrioles. The bulk of the tubulin is composed of two similar but not identical subunits, α- and β-tubulin, that normally exist in the dimeric form. The dimer is in dynamic equilibrium with microtubules which are, in turn, regulated by GTP, temperature, calcium ion, accessory proteins, and a large number of drugs that modify the state of polymerization and dynamic instability. Specialized forms of tubulin, γ, δ, and ɛ, though less abundant, also play important roles in these equilibria. The α- and β-monomers have a mass of ∼ 50 k Da, have acidic C-termini which define the isotypes, contain 12 and 8 sulfhydryl groups, resp., and are subject to a large number of post-translational modifications. Tubulin is primarily a cytoplasmic protein present either as dimers or microtubules, but a small, though significant, fraction is firmly associated with organelle or plasma membranes." }, { "docid": "D2914711#0", "title": "https://www.drugs.com/pro/colcrys.html\nColcrys", "text": "\"Colcrys Generic Name: colchicine Dosage Form: tablet, film coated Overview Side Effects Dosage Professional Interactions More Pregnancy Warnings Breastfeeding Warnings User Reviews Support Group Q & ACompare Alternatives Pricing & Coupons On This Page Indications and Usage Dosage and Administration Dosage Forms and Strengths Contraindications Warnings and Precautions Adverse Reactions Drug Interactions Use In Specific Populations Drug Abuse and Dependence Overdosage Description Clinical Pharmacology Nonclinical Toxicology Clinical Studies How Supplied/Storage and Handling Patient Counseling Information On This Page Indications and Usage Dosage and Administration Dosage Forms and Strengths Contraindications Warnings and Precautions Adverse Reactions Drug Interactions Use In Specific Populations Drug Abuse and Dependence Overdosage Description Clinical Pharmacology Nonclinical Toxicology Clinical Studies How Supplied/Storage and Handling Patient Counseling Information Indications and Usage for Colcrys Gout Flares Colcrys (colchicine, USP) tablets are indicated for prophylaxis and the treatment of acute gout flares.• Prophylaxis of Gout Flares: Colcrys is indicated for prophylaxis of gout flares.• Treatment of Gout Flares: Colcrys tablets are indicated for treatment of acute gout flares when taken at the first sign of a flare.

Gout Medications Used For Prevention There are four categories of medicines used for gout prevention: Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors – which work to limit the production of uric acid Uricosurics – which work to increase the elimination of uric acid via the kidneys Uricolytics – which act as a substitute for the enzyme “uricase” which humans no longer have, that converts uric acid into allantoin so that it can be more easily excreted Other Therapeutic Options – including experimental possibilities Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors Xanthine oxidase inhibitors work by blocking an enzyme called “xanthine oxidase” which is responsible for the conversion of hypoxanthine into xanthine, and eventually into uric acid . . ." }, { "docid": "D414643#0", "title": "http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/colchicine-oral-route/description/DRG-20067653\nDescription and Brand Names", "text": "Description and Brand Names Drug information provided by: Micromedex US Brand Name Colcrys Mitigare Descriptions Colchicine is used to prevent or treat attacks of gout (also called gouty arthritis). This condition is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. An attack of gout occurs when uric acid causes inflammation (pain, redness, swelling, and heat) in a joint. Colchicine does not cure gout, but it will help prevent gout attacks. Colchicine is not an ordinary pain reliever and will not relieve most kinds of pain. Colchicine is also used to treat a rare condition called familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in adults and children older than 4 years of age. Colchicine may be used in 2 ways. Most people take small amounts of it regularly for a long time (months or even years) to prevent severe attacks or other problems caused by inflammation. Other people take large amounts of colchicine during a short period of time (several hours) only when the medicine is needed to relieve an attack that is occurring. The chance of serious side effects is much lower with the first (preventive) kind of treatment." }, { "docid": "D1282739#0", "title": "https://www.verywell.com/colchicine-10-things-you-should-know-189559\n10 Things You Should Know Colchicine", "text": "Arthritis Gout10 Things You Should Know Colchicine Safe use of colchicine decreases unwanted side effects By Carol Eustice \| Reviewed by Grant Hughes, MDUpdated August 31, 2017Share Pin Email Print Jan-Otto/E+/Getty Images Colchicine is a preferred treatment for gouty arthritis. Though the drug is a significant option for gout treatment, there is a lot that is not commonly known about colchicine. For example, how colchicine works, from where it is derived, how long has it had a medicinal purpose, and most importantly, what you need to know to use the drug safely. Important Facts About Colchicine for Gout1. Colchicine is an alkaloid derived from the dried seeds of Colchicum autumnale, also known as the autumn crocus or meadow saffron. The use of the Colchicum alkaloid for the treatment of acute gout dates back to 1810. The medicinal value of colchicum was reported back in the first century A. D. Colchicine has been used to manage conditions other than gout, including: Amyloidosis Behcet's disease Dermatitis herpetiformis Familial Mediterranean fever Paget's disease Pericarditis Pseudogout Biliary and hepatic cirrhosis2. Colchicine is available in oral or intravenous dosages. Colchicine is available in two oral strengths - 0.5 mg and 0.6 mg tablets. The drug is also available intravenously, but there is potential for serious toxicity using the parenteral route (i.e., intravenous or injection, a route other than the digestive tract).3." }, { "docid": "D209690#0", "title": "http://nurs316a.wikispaces.com/Inflammation+and+the+Immune+Response\nInflammation and the Immune Response", "text": "\"Week 1 - Inflammation and the Immune Response; Brought to you by Johanna.....1. Describe the major cell types involved in immune and inflammatory responses the body and their response to biochemical mediators and antigens that activate the systems (ie WBC, NK, antibodies, CD4 or T4 vs CD8 or T8 cells..) JOHANNA First of all, we must examine the immune and inflammatory responses (and all they key players involved) as part of a bigger picture. I say this because the immune system also includes barrier defenses, such as the skin and our mucous membranes. The skin is the first line of defense against pathogenic microorganism. It is only once these organisms break through this barrier and enter the underlying tissue that the cellular defenses go to work. Let's take a look at these cellular defenses now. Major Cell Types Involved in the Immune and Inflammatory Responses Leukocytes, or WBCs, are the key components of the immune response. There are two different kinds of leukocytes; lymphocytes and myelocytes. Lymphocytes are the T cells, B cells, and Natural Killer cells. Myelocytes include neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, and macrophages." }, { "docid": "D251775#0", "title": "http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-8640/colchicine-oral/details\nColchicine", "text": "Drugs & Medications Colchicine COMMON BRAND (S): Colcrys GENERIC NAME (S): Colchicine Read Reviews (158)Uses Uses This medication is used to prevent or treat gout attacks (flares). Usually gout symptoms develop suddenly and involve only one or a few joints. The big toe, knee, or ankle joints are most often affected. Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. When uric acid levels in the blood are too high, the uric acid may form hard crystals in your joints. Colchicine works by decreasing swelling and lessening the build up of uric acid crystals that cause pain in the affected joint (s). This medication is also used to prevent attacks of pain in the abdomen, chest, or joints caused by a certain inherited disease ( familial Mediterranean fever ). It is thought to work by decreasing your body's production of a certain protein (amyloid A) that builds up in people with familial Mediterranean fever. Colchicine is not a pain medication and should not be used to relieve other causes of pain. How to use Colchicine Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking colchicine and each time you get a refill." } ]

We see it all over the place and that leads us to question, what is collagen? Why do we need it? And most importantly, what happens to it when we age? What is Collagen? Collagen is a long, fibrous structural protein that makes up 30% of all of the protein in the body. It connects and supports all of our body’s tissues and can be found in our skin, hair, tendons, bones, cartilage, and fascia (ie. everywhere). The most abundant place we see collagen is in the skin, where it makes up 70% of the total mass—when you consider that skin is our largest organ, it becomes pretty clear that it is an important protein. Collagen has great tensile strength—meaning that it can hold a lot of tension without breaking." } ]	[ { "docid": "D3464694#0", "title": "http://blog.candylipz.com/best-ways-to-boost-collagen-production-in-your-body/\nBest Ways To Boost Collagen Production in Your Body- Keeping Your Skin and Lips Plump", "text": "Best Ways To Boost Collagen Production in Your Body- Keeping Your Skin and Lips Plump Candy Lipz July 21, 2015 Lip Plumper Tips 3 Comments Facebook Twitter Google+ Share Collagen – Skin Ultimate Structural Support Side Bar for Candy Lipz Users: If you like to make the appearance of your pout last longer, in this article, you will learn how to increase water holding capacity, prevent collagen degradation, and boost collagen deposits.

It is a connective tissue that not only holds our muscles to our bones but also fills out the face and keeps your skin looking young and beautiful. As we age, however, our collagen stores begin to disappear, and they can be tough to replace once they are gone. Collagen is a structure found naturally in the skin. It is essential for helping us stay looking young and vibrant. It's also the structure that makes skin look full and firm.

Amino acids are produced when the protein we eat, such as meat, fish and dairy products, are broken down.

Collagen protein is promised (by those who sell it) to beautify skin, improve joints, and cause effortless weight loss. Are these claims true? What Is Collagen Protein? For the most part, your entire body is held together by collagen protein. It is a protein present in nearly every part of your system, from your muscles to your hair. Collagen is what keeps your skin taut, your hair shiny, and metabolism healthy enough to burn fat. However, this protein begins to diminish as you age, bringing on all the side-effects of maturity, plumpness, saggy skin and aching joints.

It is commonly known as just the main ingredient in foods like Jello but this simple food has so much more potential!What is Gelatin? Gelatin is a substance composted of amino acids that is derived from collagen. Collagen is well know for its skin and hair benefits, and is similar to gelatin in many ways. Gelatin is largely made up of the amino acids glycine and proline. It is derived from the bones, fibrous tissues, and organs of animals. These amino acids are needed not only for proper skin, hair and nail growth, but for optimal immune function and weight regulation. As a population, we don’t consume these animal parts as much as we used to. Some health experts claim that our modern habit of eating large amounts of muscle meat (like steak) without eating the organs and connective tissue or making broth with the bones may be contributing to modern disease. Glycine, which makes up about 1/3 of the amino acids in gelatin powder is anti-inflammatory and evidence is finding that it can help speed wound healing." }, { "docid": "D1356442#0", "title": "http://www.simplyantiaging.com/1130/anti-aging-collagen-drink/\nAnti aging collagen drink â sip your way younger", "text": "You are here: Home / Anti Aging Products / Anti aging collagen drink – sip your way younger Anti aging collagen drink – sip your way younger Japan is the leader in inventive technology in all sorts of areas and in recent years – expanding the range of anti aging products has been a big focus.

A: Ultherapy is a non-surgical face and neck treatment developed by Ulthera, Inc. It uses ultrasound to lift and tone loose or sagging skin without any significant downtime. Q: How is Ultherapy different from other cosmetic procedures? A: Ultherapy targets deep tissue below the skin, an area typically reached with cosmetic surgery. Ultherapy also provides ultrasound imaging, which allows Dr. Chwalek or Dr. Mac Gregor to actually see the layers of tissue that are targeted during the treatment, and thus ensure the energy is delivered where it will be most effective. Q: Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy? A: Someone with skin that has “relaxed” to the point of looking less firm. A lowered eyebrow line or sagging skin on the neck or the jowls, is often the first sign of “maturing” skin. Typically, those in their thirties and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates. Ultherapy is also a good option for people who want to “stay ahead of the game” as well as those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery." }, { "docid": "D1845912#0", "title": "https://www.realself.com/question/san-francisco-ca-slapping-the-skin-good-for-the-collagen#!\nIs Slapping the Skin Good for the Collagen?", "text": "\"Is Slapping the Skin Good for the Collagen?

Collagen functions several different ways in your body.

Bernstein of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, collagen makes up approximately 80 percent of the dry weight of your skin. Collagen provides structure to the skin, and works hand in hand with another protein, called elastin, to allow skin the flexibility it needs to stretch and return to its original state as your body moves. Bone Collagen also has an important function in bone. Bone is made up of a mixture of collagen and a mineral called hydroxyapatite. The two work together to form the structure, flexibility and strength of your bones.

How does a loan backed by a car title loan works? It basically works like any collateral loan.

Once the loan is paid off, the car title will be returned to you. Otherwise, the lender will assume ownership over your car.

D., Product Development Attorney, Bankers Systems, Inc., Contributing Author, CCH Focus .n July 1, 2001, revisions to the law of secured transactions will go into effect in the states that adopt Revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (“Revised Article 9”). This article will focus on new provisions in Article 9 that determine the governing law for how to perfect and the effect of perfection under Revised Article 9. Except where noted, all section references are to the revised version of Article 9. C HOICE OF L AWThe first step in perfecting a security interest is determining what law governs the transaction, or parts of the transaction. State laws vary, and state law may be preempted by federal law with respect to all or part of the transaction, so secured lenders must look at the characteristics of each transaction to determine the governing law. Security interests in most personal property collateral are governed by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), but could alternatively or additionally be governed by common law, other state law (e.g., certificate of title laws), and federal law. Security agreements and assignments typically contain a contract provision for a governing law. Under current UCC law, Section 1-105 provides that parties to a transaction may stipulate the state law that will govern their rights and duties so long as the chosen state bears a reasonable relation to the transaction. However, Section 1-105 provides that contrary provisions in the UCC will render the parties’ selection of governing law ineffective. Article 9 provides such an exception to the general rule in Section 1-105 by including rules for determining how to perfect a security interest in multiple-state transactions." }, { "docid": "D48779#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Property_Securities_Register\nPersonal Property Securities Register", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with New Zealand and Australia and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

Few people sail through life without borrowing. With few exceptions, almost everyone takes a loan to buy a car, finance a home purchase, pay for a college education or cover a medical emergency. Loans are nearly ubiquitous and so are the agreements that guarantee their repayment. Loan agreements are binding contracts between two or more parties to formalize a loan process. There are many types of loan agreements, ranging from simple promissory notes between friends and family members to more detailed contracts like mortgages, auto loans, credit card and short- or long-term payday advance loans. Simple loan agreements can be little more than short letters spelling out how long a borrower has to pay back money and what interest might be added to the principal. Others, like mortgages, are elaborate documents that are filed as public records and allow lenders to repossess the borrower’s property if the loan isn’t repaid as agreed. Each type of loan agreement and its conditions for repayment are governed by both state and federal guidelines designed to prevent illegal or excessive interest rate on repayment. Loan agreements typically include covenants, value of collateral involved, guarantees, interest rate terms and the duration over which it must be repaid." }, { "docid": "D2536686#0", "title": "https://www.tradefinanceglobal.com/finance-products/reverse-factoring/\nWhat is reverse factoring?", "text": "What is reverse factoring? Reverse factoring is at its simplest, where a supplier receives finance in relation to their receivables (money for goods/services delivered) by a process that is started by the ordering company. It allows the supplying company to receive better finance terms than it would otherwise be able to receive from a lender. Reverse factoring explained Before going into the depths of reverse factoring, it is first important to know the difference between invoice discounting and factoring. Factoring is the true sale of receivables and invoice discounting is when a company is able to sell their unpaid invoices to a financial institution and receive a loan, with the accounts receivable being used as collateral. The client will sell the unpaid invoices to a financier who will sometimes retain control of the debt-collection process, in return for fees and/or a proportion of the value outstanding. Reverse factoring would allow suppliers to be paid in a timely manner for a fee that is taken care of between large retailers and banks. By entering into this supply chain finance mechanism, it means that when the buyer has approved the invoice sent from the seller; which is an account payable (AP), the funder will provide the seller (where requested) with finance that is advanced against the AP. The buyer then pays the funder at the agreed time on the invoice sent. The need for this system in some cycles is due to long delays of large companies to pay suppliers." }, { "docid": "D560501#0", "title": "http://budgeting.thenest.com/car-loan-unsecured-debt-27090.html\nIs a Car Loan Unsecured Debt?", "text": "\"Car loan lenders use the financed vehicle to secure the debt. If you have a personal loan, you may have heard that it is unsecured debt. Car loans, though, are different from personal loans in that the creditor uses the vehicle itself to secure the loan. Because the lender for your car loan uses the vehicle as collateral, it considers the debt a secured loan. Function When you find a vehicle that you would like to finance, a number of lenders may offer to provide financing. Many dealers have their own finance departments, and banks and credit unions typically allow their customers to take out car loans. The lender may or may not require a down payment, but the lender will require you to sign documents allowing a lien on the vehicle. The lender allows you to take possession of the vehicle but, in most cases, the lender will retain the vehicle’s title until you pay the loan in full. Benefits Because lenders use the financed vehicle to secure the loan, car loans are typically easier to obtain than credit cards or other unsecured debt, according to the automotive website Cars Direct.

Whether you're a start-up, a sole proprietorship, or a limited liability corporation, getting a small business loan will be one of your top priorities if you're looking to expand your company's potential. But before you receive funds from a bank, a lender will scrutinize both you and your business to see if you're a viable borrower. A bank will look at your company's history, business credit, revenues, balance sheet, and your equity contributions. If you pass a credit check and you operate a healthy business, most banks will also require an additional, and tangible, guarantee that their loan will be repaid: collateral. Collateral assets come in many forms. Defined by the Small Business Administration, collateral is \"\"an additional form of security which can be used to assure a lender that you have a second source of loan repayment.\"\" Most commonly, collateral is real property (i.e. an owner-occupied home), but it can also be represented by your business's inventory, cash savings or deposits, and equipment. In order to structure a loan that benefits both you and your business, you'll need to make the right decision about what you offer up as collateral to the bank. It's also important to be realistic when considering the risks of defaulting on a loan, which could have harsh consequences for not only your business, but for your personal life, too." }, { "docid": "D1588513#0", "title": "http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/couple-feel-robbed-by-25-interest-td-car-loan-1.2483342\nCouple feel 'robbed' by 25% interest TD car loan", "text": "\"A B.

Bill of lading is a document issued by sea carrier of goods on receipt of cargo to him from the shipper. Bill of lading is issued to shipper after completion of export customs clearance procedures at load port customs location of the country. After completion of export customs formalities, shipper hands over cargo to sea shipping carrier or his agent.

The 3rd party paid us for the claims and is now coming back stating that the carriers are refusing to pay. Can the 3rd party deduct from their carrier on a different/future invoice other than the originating shipment? Or should I advise the 3rd party to pursue collections? Am I correct that the 3rd party is a broker (they do not have their own fleet) so is not governed by Carmack either? Answer: There are really two parts to your question - the liability of the “third party warehouse/transportation company” (broker) to pay your loss or damage claims, and the rights of the broker to collect reimbursement from the responsible carriers. As to the first part, you indicate that you have a contract with the broker, and that the broker has been paying your claims." }, { "docid": "D2000305#0", "title": "http://www.itic-insure.com/knowledge-zone/article/telex-release-by-e-mail-precautions-and-pitfalls-2779/\nTelex release by e-mail - precautions and pitfalls", "text": "Telex release by e-mail - precautions and pitfalls Date: 02/09/2007Share What is a Telex release? A Telex release is the industry term for the release of cargo at one port when the original bill of lading has been surrendered at another. Although this is still referred to as a Telex release, today the release is almost always made by e-mail. Telex release is a normal part of liner shipping. The shipper, or a forwarder, or an NVOCC may choose (for one reason or another) to surrender the bills of lading to the carrier’s agent in a port other than the discharge port. The carrier’s agent has a duty to collect the original bills of lading before releasing cargo and the bills of lading are normally surrendered to the discharge port agent, but it is not necessary for this to be the case. However, collection by another agent does need to be handled carefully. How is “Telex release” achieved? The bills of lading are surrendered by the shipper or forwarder or NVOCC to an agent in a port other than the discharge port (the “Third Country Receiving Agent” - usually, but not always, the agent at the port of loading) with an instruction to release the cargo to the consignee or a named party. Once the original bills of lading are in the hands of the Third Country Receiving Agent he sends a “Telex release” to the discharge port agent (the “Releasing Agent”), confirming that the full set of original bills of lading have been surrendered to him and that the cargo can be released to either the consignee on the bill of lading or some other party authorised by the shipper or the consignee (depending on whether it is a non negotiable or negotiable bill of lading)." }, { "docid": "D1418495#0", "title": "https://www.partnership.com/Services/new_to_ltl_freight_shipping\nNew to LTL Freight Shipping?", "text": "\"New to LTL Freight Shipping?

Chris Anderson’s Free provided me with the insight that helped me put the whole package together: economics is fundamentally a process driven by abundance and creative-destruction rather than scarcity. The reason we focus on scarcity is that at any given time, the economy is constrained by a single important “bottleneck scarcity.” Land, labor, factories, information and most recently, individual attention, have all played the bottleneck role in the past. I believe we are experiencing the first major bottleneck-shift in a decade. “ Attention,” as an unqualified commodity is no longer the critical scarcity. Collective attention is: the coordinated, creative attention of more than 1 person.

Consumption is a common concept in economics, and gives rise to derived concepts such as consumer debt. Generally, consumption is defined in part by comparison to production. But the precise definition can vary because different schools of economists define production quite differently. According to mainstream economists, only the final purchase of goods and services by individuals constitutes consumption, while other types of expenditure - in particular, fixed investment, intermediate consumption and government spending - are placed in separate categories. See consumer choice. Other economists define consumption much more broadly, as the aggregate of all economic activity that does not entail the design, production and marketing of goods and services (e.g. the selection, adoption, use, disposal and recycling of goods and services).3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Whereas most other psychologists postulate intra-organismic determinants of psychological phenomena (such as physiological mechanisms or free will) or some interaction between intra-organismic and social factors, Vygotsky regarded human psychology as entirely social. He said that psychological phenomena originate in social interaction, they are organized by social relations, and their constituents are social artifacts such as linguistic symbols. Vygotsky's social account of psychology is comprehensible when viewed in relation to his political views and his early work experience. A brief discussion of this context is therefore in order before explaining the details of his psychological stand- point. Vygotsky's Early Work and Politics Born in 1896, Lev Vygotsky grew up during the Russian revolution. He graduated from a university, where he studied law, in 1917, the year the Bolsheviks took power. Instead of practicing law, Vygotsky became a school teacher. He read extensively in pedagogy and psychology; he lectured at various institutes, teacher's colleges, and workers' schools (on a wide range of topics including psychology, pedagogy, art, and literature); and he conducted some elementary psychological experiments.

While there are many forms of collaboration, my research focused on one type in particular—the kind carried out by individuals, groups and organizations in the public sphere. This form of collaboration can be described as a process of shared decision-making in which all the parties with a stake in a problem constructively explore their differences and develop a joint strategy for action. This essay appears in 'On Collaboration' — a collection edited by Marie Bak Mortensen and Judith Nesbitt (London: Tate, 2012). My report on the subject (from which the following essay has been adapted) generated a surprising amount of attention when it appeared. It was widely cited in books and publications and reprinted in several monographs. After concluding the study, I went on to observe and work with collaborative teams across America as well as study community leaders who practice collaboration as part of their community development work. I found that collaboration can be a powerful alternative to conventional mechanisms for effecting change, such as coalitions, task forces, and commissions. Traditional groups and organizations tend to be structured vertically. Decisions are made at the top and people derive their influence and authority from their positions within the hierarchy." }, { "docid": "D760143#0", "title": "https://litreactor.com/columns/storyville-narrative-hooks\nStoryville: Narrative Hooks", "text": "\"Storyville: Narrative Hooks Column by Richard Thomas September 19, 2012 9 comments In: Craft Narrative Hooks Storyville Character Dialogue Literary Devices Plot POV Setting Structure I’ve mentioned narrative hooks before, but only briefly. What I’d like to do with this column is elaborate a bit more on what a narrative hook is, how you can create great opening sentences, and how that hook relates to the rest of your story or novel. Wait, that’s a terrible narrative hook. Let me try this again. When you push the metal hook deep into the mouth of a large-mouthed bass, piercing the skin, the barb unable to be removed, you have captured the beast, he will not get away—do the same thing with your writing. Not great, but better. WHAT IS A NARRATIVE HOOK? I don’t think I can say it any better than this bit of text from Wikipedia: A narrative hook (or hook) is a literary technique in the opening of a story that ‘hooks’ the reader's attention so that he or she will keep on reading. The ‘opening’ may consist of several paragraphs for a short story, or several pages for a novel, but ideally it is the opening sentence.

However, talking together all too often means debating, discussing with a view to convincing the other, arguing for our point of view, examining pro's and con's. In dialogue, the intention is not to advocate but to inquire; not to argue but to explore; not to convince but to discover.\"\" -- Louise Diamond, The Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy People often lack the ability to converse about subjects that matter deeply to them without getting into a dispute. As a result, public discourse about divisive issues is often characterized by destructive debate that can lead to group division and violence. This is often because parties are operating from different interpretations of facts and events that may not even be fully understood by the parties themselves. [ 1] When public conflicts are long-lasting and involve seemingly irreconcilable differences of identity, worldviews, and values, parties tend to cling to their own positions and denigrate views of the opposing side. They rarely ask each other questions or genuinely listen to what the other side is saying. In many cases, while one person is talking, the other person is thinking of what he will say when it is his turn to talk. Effective communication is blocked by competition, prejudice, and fear, and parties' ways of relating start to deteriorate." }, { "docid": "D1716445#0", "title": "https://support.avvo.com/hc/en-us/articles/208478156-What-is-the-Avvo-Rating-\nThe Avvo Rating explained", "text": "\"The Avvo Rating explained The Avvo Rating is our effort to evaluate a lawyer’s background based on the information available in an attorney’s Avvo profile.

This is a point on which certainly no general decision can be given. For my own part, if my memory is sufficiently strong and time is not wanting, I should wish not a single syllable to escape me, else it would be to no purpose to write. Such exactness we should acquire in childhood, and the memory should be brought to such a condition by exercise that we may never learn to excuse its failures. To be prompted, therefore, and to refer to one's writing is pernicious, as it grants indulgence to carelessness.- Quintilian, Institutio Oratoria, Book 1, Chapter 2And that was the nature of my game, because I'd spent most of my life as a blind receptacle to be filled with other people's knowledge and then drained, spouting synthetic languages I'd never understand. A very technical boy, sure.- William Gibson, \"\"Johnny Mnemonic\"\"What Is Digital Dementia? There is no conclusive empirical evidence that the Internet and other media technologies undermine cognitive skills such as memory and attention. And yet, arguments based on anecdotal evidence and technological determinism continue to persuade readers, many of whom, such as best-selling author Nicholas Carr, have a vague sense that they are not thinking like they used to think, and that technology is to blame. From the surveys of mysterious market research group Embrain to Carr's Pulitzer Prize nominated book The Shallows to Bernard Stiegler's anxieties about tertiary memory in the Technics and Time trilogy, there is a growing body of literature about digital media and cognitive disorders. One of the most recent manifestations of what might be called speculative cognitive science is the coining of the term \"\"digital dementia.\"\"" }, { "docid": "D1955386#0", "title": "http://www.underdown.org/multicul.htm\nWriting and Illustrating Multicultural Children's Books", "text": "\"Home page \| More useful articles \| Search for more information \| Other Genres Purple Crayon Bookstores Writing and Illustrating Multicultural Children's Booksby Harold Underdown Written in 1995, updated in early 1999, with more updates in 2001 and 2008, including direct links to pages on Amazon for more information or to purchase individual books.

Spinal tap is also referred to as a lumbar puncture, or LP. Some of the reasons your doctor may want to do a spinal tap include the following: To look for infection (bacteria can be found in the spinal fluid)To check to see if there is bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage; small amounts of blood will be found in the fluid)To look for causes of unexplained seizures To look for causes of headaches To evaluate for uncommon diagnoses such as multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and several others. To administer certain types of chemotherapeutics medications in the treatment of some cancers Cerebrospinal fluid is a liquid that bathes the brain and spinal cord. An adult has about 140 m L (just under 5 oz) of spinal fluid. Typically, an adult makes 30-100 m L of spinal fluid daily. A spinal tap can be performed in any person and at any age. Spinal Tap Risks The spinal cord ends at the level of the first or second lumbar vertebrae, and the needle is usually inserted at a level between the third and fourth or the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae, keeping the spinal cord completely out of danger. Although very infrequent, several complications can occur as a result of a spinal tap.

For example media all over the world rely on their reporters for their news contents. A reporter’s job is therefore a very important one. A reporter is one who observes the passing show in the widest sense of the word and pictures its detail for the benefit of the whole society. A reporter is the gatherer of news, and as such performs an important function in a newspaper establishment. A reporter may be accurate, conscientious, a good citizen and take part in mouldings the views of other people, but he cannot play his part successfully unless he keeps his eyes open and his mind attuned to the present, future as well as the past. He is a leader or representatives of men in many senses of the word.

In his four major works, starting with The Division of Labor in Society of 1893 and ending with The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life of 1912, and in a large number of articles, monographs, and carefully worked out courses of lectures (several of which have been published posthumously), Durkheim established a broad framework for the analysis of social systems that has remained central to sociology and a number of related disciplines, particularly anthropology, ever since. Even those who basically disagree with it take it as a major point of reference. This frame of analysis underwent substantial development in the course of Durkheim’s own career, but it focused continually on the nature of the social system and the relation of that system to the personality of the individual. Durkheim was born in the town of Épinal in the Vosges, not far from Strasbourg. He was of Jewish parentage, and some of his forebears were rabbis. Indeed he was expected to be a rabbi himself until he became an agnostic. He attended the famous École Norm ale Supérieure in Paris, together with such luminaries as Henri Bergson, Jean Jaurès, and Pierre Janet. His primary focus was on philosophy, but he already had the strong concern with political and social applications that he retained throughout his life. He was too rebellious to rank high among the agrégés of his year, and his first academic appointments were as teacher of philosophy in several provincial lycées." } ]

The CSU offers traditional and career specific majors, with graduate opportunities at the Master’s level. How long will it take me to transfer? The time it takes to transfer depends on the number of units you complete each term, and the minimum number of units that the college or university you transfer to requires for admission How long will it take to finish once I transfer? Time to degree is a result determined by the number of requirements you complete prior to transfer, the number of requirements remaining to be completed once you transfer, and the amount of units you complete each term.

California Community Colleges are now offering associate degrees for transfer to the CSU. These may include Associate in Arts (AA-T) or Associate in Science (AS-T) degrees. These degrees are designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree. California Community College students who are awarded an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system and given priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus or to a program that is deemed similar to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses.

With a degree in paralegal studies, you should be able to find work, and remain employed in all areas of the country. Directory Quick Answers Available Degrees A paralegal is a trained professional in the legal field. Paralegals have more training than a typical secretary, yet do not have advanced legal studies and are not licensed attorneys. The specific jobs that a paralegal degree prepares you for include legal secretary, judicial law clerk, and the traditional paralegal position. Paralegal studies are highly vocational. They prepare you to do a very specific set of tasks and prepare you for very specific jobs. Many people prefer this type of coursework over more generalist degree programs because they are more focused, shorter, and lead directly to a specific type of employment. Studying to become a paralegal will require you to develop a good understanding of the legal system and its many aspects without having to become an expert, like a lawyer.

Often when we speak of diversity, which is simply defined as \"\"variety\"\", what we mean is multiculturalism, or the acceptance of people of different ethnicities, races, cultures, religions and economic backgrounds. How does this translate to the college experience? When most students seek diversity on a college campus, what they are actually looking for are opportunities to express themselves and find community with others who believe the same way, as well as opportunities to learn from those from different cultures and backgrounds. In order to achieve the most benefit from a diverse campus, seek out institutions that are not only promoting diversity by actively recruiting students and hiring faculty from minority groups, but are also fostering an environment where there is confident interaction between different groups.

Located 75 miles (120 km) south of San Francisco at the edge of the coastal community of Santa Cruz, the campus lies on 2,001 acres (810 ha) of rolling, forested hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Monterey Bay. Founded in 1965, UC Santa Cruz began as a showcase for progressive, cross-disciplinary undergraduate education, innovative teaching methods and contemporary architecture. Since then, it has evolved into a modern research university with a wide variety of both undergraduate and graduate programs, while retaining its reputation for strong undergraduate support and student political activism. The residential college system, which consists of ten small colleges, is intended to combine the student support of a small college with the resources of a major university.

[ 7] The Santa Cruz site was selected over a competing proposal to build the campus closer to the population center of San Jose. Santa Cruz was selected for the beauty, rather than the practicality, of its location, however, and its remoteness led to the decision to develop a residential college system that would house most of the students on-campus. [ 8] The formal design process of the Santa Cruz campus began in the late 1950s, culminating in the Long Range Development Plan of 1963. [ 9] Construction had started by 1964, and the university was able to accommodate its first students (albeit living in trailers on what is now the East Field athletic area) in 1965." }, { "docid": "D532292#0", "title": "http://www.ncaa.org/about/frequently-asked-questions-about-ncaa\nFrequently Asked Questions About the NCAA", "text": "Home About Frequently Asked Questions About the NCAAThe following information provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the NCAA.

Ten other athletics programs have plans to distribute at least $4,000 more in aid. The money, part of a new spending allowance approved in January by the five biggest conferences, allows Division I colleges to cover the full cost of players’ scholarships. Previously, colleges could cover only the cost of a basic scholarship — tuition, fees, room and board, and books. The change was designed to direct more money to players as television money has expanded. But disparities in what programs can offer have put new pressure on college budgets and altered the dynamics of recruiting. Spending power among the five biggest conferences — the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific-12, and Southeastern — varies greatly. Three of the top four programs are from the Southeastern Conference: Tennessee ($5,666), Auburn University ($5,586), and Mississippi State ($5,126). A total of seven SEC programs are among the top 20, according to the analysis, which included a review of institutions’ financial-aid websites and cost-of-attendance figures that the colleges report to the federal government. The University of Louisville, from the Atlantic Coast Conference, has the third-highest number ($5,202)." }, { "docid": "D2923791#0", "title": "http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/outside-voices-careers/2014/10/08/trends-in-diversity-recruiting-us-employers-weigh-in\nTrends in Diversity Recruiting: U.S. Employers Weigh In", "text": "Upon reaching out to several companies for this post about campus recruiting, it’s clear the nation’s top companies are seeking diverse talent pools. Technically, we’re all diverse. Is anyone completely defined by a box?

Diversity recruiting strategies, in turn, boil down to finding the best, most qualified candidates. Companies weigh in on diversity: The goal of AT&T is to “have the best talent at the table from every background,” says Rick Gomez, executive director of Global AT&T College Recruiting. Developing programs and strategies to attract minority candidates on campus is extremely important, because they heavily weigh the value of diverse teams. For instance, Gomez mentions that the company's strategy involves partnering with student organizations, such as Student Veterans of America and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers to “ fill the needs of the organization, and at the same time, build our brand and recruit top campus talent – creating a win for the organization and a win for AT&T.”As such, AT&T's strategy centers around partnering with schools that have healthy populations of diverse students, including many historically black colleges and universities. The company also sponsors and attends national and local events with organizations such as Career Opportunities for Students with Disabilities, Student Veterans of America, Grace Hopper Celebration for Women in Computing, Society of Women Engineers, National Society of Black Engineers, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Great Minds in STEM and many more.

Help to Fill the Nursing Shortage In May 2005, the National Commission on Nursing Workforce for Long-Term Care released a report entitled \"\"Act Now For Your Tomorrow\"\", which found that there are nearly 100,000 vacant nursing positions in long-term care facilities on any given day. They also found that the nursing turnover rate exceeds 50%. The shortage of qualified nurses is costing long-term care facilities an estimated $4 billion per year for recruitment and training expenses. Another report by the American Hospital Association from April 2006 found that U. S. hospitals need approximately 118,000 Registered Nurses (RNs) to fill vacant positions throughout the country. With those figures, they found the national Registered Nurse vacancy rate to be at 8.5%. The report, entitled The State of America`s Hospitals - Taking the Pulse, also found that 49% of hospital CEOs reported recruitment of RNs to be more difficult in 2005 than in previous year. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics has also recently reported some pretty grim figures; as of the publication of the report in November 2005, they estimate that more than 1.2 million new and replacement nurses will be needed by 2014. While billions of dollars have been spent trying to recruit new individuals for nursing degree programs and registered nursing positions, the increase in nursing school enrollment was only 9.6% in 2005 over the previous year.

SHARE TWEETBefore Robert and Amy Mc Cormick could see the racial injustice at the heart of big-time college sports, they had to wake up—literally. It was the summer of 2002, and the Mc Cormicks, a married pair of professors at Michigan State University, were living in an East Lansing neighborhood located between a block of student housing and the school's athletic department. Every morning around 5:30 a.m., Michigan State athletes would ride their bicycles past the Mc Cormicks' house on their way to practice. Among them was Charles Rogers, one of the best college football players in the country, a tall, speedy wide receiver whom professional scouts were likening to National Football League star Randy Moss. One morning, Robert saw Rogers whizzing by, his 6-foot-3 frame dwarfing a rickety bike that barely seemed road worthy. He's a first-round NFL draft choice, thought the sports and labor law professor, who had attended Michigan State himself and taught a sports law class at the university since 1984. Next year, he'll be making millions. But now, he's making nothing.

Even if you don’t end up getting a scholarship, many intercollegiate athletes who don’t receive aid are still recruited to participate in sports at the collegiate level. The college recruiting process can be confusing. There are tons of recruiting rules that vary by division and the process for each prospective student-athlete can be extremely different. In this article, I’ll explain the various steps of the college recruiting process. I’ll provide important advice for prospective student-athletes so that you’re able to reach your collegiate and athletic goals. The Biggest Steps in the College Recruiting Process Making Contact With Coaches: Generally, for most student-athletes, the process really begins when you have your first conversation with a college coach about possibly playing for him or her. Campus Visits: One of the many benefits of being a recruited athlete is having the opportunity to visit multiple college campuses and have all your questions about athletics and academics answered.

Making the most of your face-to-face time with a coach Before selecting which college to attend, prospective student-athletes are strongly encouraged to visit at least several college campuses. Whether the visit is official (paid for by the school and limited to no more than five schools) or unofficial (paid for by the prospect and without limitations), this experience will provide meaningful insight that will help prospects determine their best college fit (see April 6, 2004 column). During the visit, prospects should attempt to meet with the golf team’s coaching staff for at least 30 minutes. This meeting will already be scheduled on official visits and may be challenging to schedule on unofficial visits. If the head coach is unavailable, try to meet with an assistant coach or graduate assistant who recently played for the team. Always call or e-mail a week or two in advance to make your request. Refrain from showing up unannounced and expecting coaches to meet with you on the spot. Once you are in front of the coach and his/her staff, there are 10 key questions that need to be posed: Your team has X seniors and X juniors (do your homework), how many players do you expect to recruit/sign over each of the next two years? What is the typical scholarship range for a freshman at my level and what do I have to accomplish early in my collegiate career to realize a scholarship increase?" }, { "docid": "D2270048#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwestern_Company\nSouthwestern Company", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search [ hide]This article has multiple issues.

We use it today to describe a mixing together of people, traditions, cultures and ideas. How does this translate to the university experience? When most students seek diversity on campus, what they are looking for are opportunities to express themselves and find community with others who believe the same way, as well as opportunities to learn from those from different backgrounds and cultures. In order to achieve the most benefit from diversity on campus, seek out schools that are not only promoting diversity by actively recruiting students and hiring faculty from minority groups, but are also fostering an environment where there is meaningful interaction between different groups.

You can refer to our incoming class statistics on our first-year or transfer college profile to compare your academic record to last year’s class. What are the application deadlines and how long does it take to get a decision? Admission to MMC is on a rolling basis which means that there is not a set deadline to submit your application. We do encourage you to apply early or before the end of your Fall semester in high school. Transfer students should apply as soon as they begin their final semester in their previous college. Once all required documents are received, it will take 2-3 weeks to receive your decision or a request for additional information.

This means that the TNC's liability policy does not have to provide coverage for: 1) bodily injury to the TNC driver; 2) damages to the TNC driver's car, or 3) bodily injury or physical damage caused by an uninsured or underinsured motorist. 1Potential Coverage Gaps in your own Personal Auto Policy Most standard personal auto policies contain exclusions for livery - which essentially means driving for hire. A typical exclusion is set forth below (but your exclusion may be different - read your policy): We do not provide coverage … arising out of the ownership or operation of a vehicle while it is being used as a public or livery conveyance.

Here’s a quick description of each: Comprehensive Insurance: This coverage applies when your car does not actually collide with another vehicle or object – for example, for damage caused by a fire, natural disaster, animals, falling objects, theft, vandalism, or claims limited to glass damage (such as a cracked windshield). Collision Insurance: This covers repairs to your own car when you hit another car, an object like a tree or fence, or if you drive over a surface hazard like a deep pothole. It does not cover damage to someone else’s vehicle — liability insurance will protect you against those costs. There is obviously far more to these types of insurance.

We get many questions from our readers asking us what an insurance lienholder is. Here is our explanation. If you have purchased a vehicle and still owe money on it to the lien-holder (the bank, finance company, credit union, etc. ), then the institution that you owe that money has as much of a financial interest in the vehicle as you do. This means that the institution you owe money to is a lienholder on the title to your vehicle; you do not truly own the vehicle until it is fully paid off. This is what gives the lien-holder the right to repossess your vehicle is you fail to meet your required monthly payment. If the said vehicle were to be damaged, stolen, or found to be un-repairable, not only are your financial interests affected, but so is the lien-holder’s. This is why the lien-holder requires you to purchase insurance on the vehicle; to protect the financial interest of the both of you. You will be required to purchase both collision and comprehensive (other than collision) coverage." }, { "docid": "D243214#0", "title": "https://www.michiganautolaw.com/blog/2012/10/23/facts-michigan-collision-coverage-insurance/\nTop 8 facts about Michigan collision coverage insurance", "text": "Top 8 facts about Michigan collision coverage insurance October 23, 2012 by Steven Gursten Insurance attorney explains what Michigan drivers need to know about collision coverage and why it’s so important People know I am an auto attorney and that for nearly 20 years I’ve been dealing with the Michigan No-Fault law for a living.

Below, we look at some not so commonly discussed, but important, issues about insurance that can benefit you tremendously when managing your automotive coverage. Switching Auto Insurance Companies Relatively Painlessly \| Closing the Gap—With Gap Insurance \| OEM vs. Aftermarket: Decisions, Decisions... \| Deciphering Auto Insurance Lingo Switching Auto Insurance Companies Relatively Painlessly You may choose to terminate your auto insurance policy for any number of reasons. Maybe you're moving to another state, getting rid of your car altogether, or maybe you're just dissatisfied with your existing company's service. Beware, however, that if you don't give your insurer sufficient notice, it could end up costing you money, or negatively affecting your credit history. Standard practice for most insurance companies is to allow you to cancel your policy at any time during the policy term by sending written notice stating the date of cancellation. Your car insurance policy does not necessarily terminate at the end of each policy term, so it isn't safe to assume that you can just cancel by failing to pay your next bill. If you don't send notice of cancellation, your insurance company will automatically bill you in advance for the next term's premium payment. If you don't pay it, they'll cancel your policy and it will go on your credit report. Don't expect this information to be made explicit in your policy; while insurers are quick to inform you that your coverage will terminate at the end of the policy period if you don't pay your next premium, they don't always inform you of the repercussions you may face for not giving formal notice of your policy termination." }, { "docid": "D453622#0", "title": "http://www.attorneysweet.com/massachusetts-auto-accident-law/\nMASSACHUSETTS AUTO ACCIDENT LAW", "text": "MASSACHUSETTS AUTO ACCIDENT LAWPosted on July 10, 2014 by Jonathan Sweet MASSACHUSETTS AUTO ACCIDENT LAWI. INTRODUCTION. Motor vehicle claims arise when someone is injured or killed as a result of the negligent operation of a motor vehicle. Motor vehicle accident victims typically include other motorists, passengers, pedestrians or bicyclists. Motor vehicle accidents are the single largest category of personal injury related claims in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts due to the high volume and congestion of motor vehicle traffic in the state. Some also feel that Massachusetts, Boston in particular, breeds an aggressive form of driving that contributes to the frequency of roadway accidents. Massachusetts auto accident law covers two large intertwined bodies of law: liability law and insurance law. Liability is the substantive law of negligence and damages.

Most states require a motor vehicle owner to carry some minimum level of liability insurance. States that do not require the vehicle owner to carry car insurance include Virginia, where an uninsured motor vehicle fee may be paid to the state; New Hampshire, and Mississippi which offers vehicle owners the option to post cash bonds (see below). The privileges and immunities clause of Article IV of the U. S. Constitution protects the rights of citizens in each respective state when traveling to another. A motor vehicle owner typically pays insurers a monthly fee, often called an insurance premium. The insurance premium a motor vehicle owner pays is usually determined by a variety of factors including the type of covered vehicle, the age and gender of any covered drivers, their driving history, and the location where the vehicle is primarily driven and stored. Credit scores are also taken into consideration. Most insurance companies offer premium discounts based on these factors. Insurance companies provide a motor vehicle owner with an insurance card for the particular coverage term which is to be kept in the vehicle in the event of a traffic collision as proof of insurance. Recently, states have started passing laws that electronic versions of proof of insurance can now be accepted by the authorities." }, { "docid": "D2256480#0", "title": "https://www.progressive.com/answers/car-insurance-deductible/\nWhat is a car insurance deductible?", "text": "Insurance Claims About Answers1-855-347-3939 Log In Everything Am I Covered?

How is monopolistic competition a mixture of monopoly and perfect competition? Monopolistic competition is like monopoly in that sellers’ actions can change the price. It is like competition in that there is competition from substitute products, there are many sellers, and entry is relatively free.2. Why is product differentiation necessary for monopolistic competition? Product differentiation is the source of the monopoly power each monopolistically competitive seller (a monopolist of its own brand) has. If products were homogeneous, others’ products would be perfect substitutes for the products of any particular firm, and such a firm would have no market power as a result.3.

A sense of disbelief occurs when managers purport to make decisions in rationalistic terms while most observers and participants know that personalities and politics play a significant if not an overriding role. Where does the error lie? In the theory which insists that decisions should be rationalistic and nonpersonal? Or in the practice which treats business organizations as political structures? Whatever else organizations may be (problem-solving instruments, sociotechnical systems, reward systems, and so on), they are political structures. This means that organizations operate by distributing authority and setting a stage for the exercise of power. It is no wonder, therefore, that individuals who are highly motivated to secure and use power find a familiar and hospitable environment in business. At the same time, executives are reluctant to acknowledge the place of power both in individual motivation and in organizational relationships.

Uniform Marriage & Divorce Act: This Act is a comprehensive marriage and divorce act. It minimizes the number of prohibited marriages and includes the concept of no-fault divorce. It was initially promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform Laws in 1970. Fault Divorce Due to a state’s interest in the marital status of its residents, all state legislatures have passed laws governing the grounds on which a divorce will be granted. If the complaint does not contain a ground for divorce recognized under the statute, the divorce will not be granted.

They are playing poker on other people’s money, and as a result stand to win only a percentage of what it appears they have won when they make a big score. Why do they do this? Aren’t these big name pros good enough at poker to make it on their own? The reasons are myriad. But the variance in tournament poker is huge – much bigger than in cash games, and even a good poker player who is probably a winner in the long run can go a very long time without cashing high enough up on the pay ladder to show a profit. Not only are the swings big in tournament poker, the costs associated with playing are high too. After all, when you play big tournaments in brick-and-mortar casinos, you have to play them where they are, which often means plane fare from your home to the tournament as well as the cost of in a hotel for however long you plan to be there. For someone flying from Europe to Las Vegas to compete in the World Series of Poker, it means factoring in the cost of a hotel, meals, and getting around town in addition to entry fees.

Mueller to WH: Preserve Trump Jr. meeting docs (CNN) When it comes to shocking developments in the winding probe into President Donald Trump's campaign, the 2016 election, the Russians, hacking, allegations of collusion, and who-knows-what-else, the revelation on Thursday that special counsel Robert Mueller had issued grand jury subpoenas somehow managed to feel like an anticlimax. Mueller's particular concern in this case appears to be Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer, among others, at Trump Tower in June 2016. But the real news here has less to do with the particulars than the existence of the grand jury itself -- and where that leads. This investigation, triggered by Moscow's meddling, is now expanding. Mueller is on the money trail, with an eye on Trump and his associates' financial ties to Russia. That is a potential rabbit hole that could lead to some very weird places, including those with no bearing or relation to the 2016 election. So again, while the panel will in theory allow Mueller and his team to expedite their work and help bring about some kind of legally and politically satisfying conclusion to what is -- and who would disagree at this point? -- a generational fiasco, it could also prolong and deepen it." } ]

Bruckner, Montana State University, Bozeman What Are p H and Electrical Conductivity? Show credits It is often useful to characterize an environment, such as a body of water, by measuring its p H and electrical conductivity (EC). p H is a measure of the acidity of the water or soil based on its hydrogen ion concentration and is mathematically defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration, or p H = -log [H + ], where the brackets around the H + symbolize \"\"concentration\"\" The p H of a material ranges on a logarithmic scale from 1-14, where p H 1-6 are acidic, p H 7 is neutral, and p H 8-14 are basic. Lower p H corresponds with higher [H + ], while higher p H is associated with lower [H + ]. Electrical conductivity (EC) is a measurement of the dissolved material in an aqueous solution, which relates to the ability of the material to conduct electrical current through it. EC is measured in units called Seimens per unit area (e.g. m S/cm, or mili Seimens per centimeter), and the higher the dissolved material in a water or soil sample, the higher the EC will be in that material. How Are p H and Electrical Conductivity Measured? A meter and probe or litmus paper can be used to measure the p H of a sample.

Most indicators are themselves weak acids and respond to changes in the hydrogen ion concentration. Litmus The most common of all indicators is litmus paper. Litmus paper works by absorbing solutions and changing color according to their relative p H. Below p H 4.5, the paper turns red. Above p H 8.2, the paper turns blue. Deep reds and deep blues therefore indicate solutions that are, respectively, strongly acid and strongly alkali. Litmus paper turns purple when exposed to a neutral solution.

By the 1884 definition of Svante Arrhenius (Sweden), an acid is a material that can release a proton or hydrogen ion (H + ). Hydrogen chloride in water solution ionizes and becomes hydrogen ions and chloride ions. If that is the case, a base, or alkali, is a material that can donate a hydroxide ion (OH - ). Sodium hydroxide in water solution becomes sodium ions and hydroxide ions. By the definition of both Thomas Lowry (England) and J. N. Br¯nsted (Denmark) working independently in 1923, an acid is a material that donates a proton and a base is a material that can accept a proton.

The pieces of wire are closer to 0.50 g than 0.35 g. That's OK: use the pieces that we provide. Use about 4-5 ml of concentrated HNO 3 solution. Be careful with the nitric acid: like other strong acids, it will sting if you get it on your skin and can damage clothing; unlike most other acids, it will also stain the affected area yellow. If some copper remains undissolved by the time the production of gas is finished, then put the beaker on the hot plates in the hoods to hasten the reaction. It is important to carry out this step in the fume hood because the brown NO 2 gas is an irritant. Keep the mixtures in the hood until after you add the 10 ml of distilled water after completely dissolving the copper. Transform [Cu (H 2 O) 6] 2+ (aq) to Cu (OH) 2 (s)Be careful in handling Na OH, for it is a strong base which will sting if it contacts the skin. Add the Na OH solution dropwise to the copper solution. After a blue precipitate is formed, periodically test the acidity of the solution by dipping your stirring rod into the solution and touching it to red litmus paper.

On the contrary, the compounds which release hydroxyl ions (OH-) in aqueous solution are called as bases. The combination of acid and base results the formation of salt and water. Salts are neither acidic nor basic because the hydrogen ions from acid and hydroxyl ions from base neutralise effects of each other and form water. For example, HCl or hydrochloric acid is an acid because it can give hydrogen ions and dissociate as: Similarly sodium hydroxide is a base because it dissociates as sodium ion and hydroxyl ions as given below, If you mix both of these solutions, the reaction can be written as: Here, sodium ion and chloride ion form sodium chloride which is an ionic compound but hydrogen ion and hydroxyl ion combine to form water.

Updated March 08, 2017p H is a logarithmic measure of the hydrogen ion concentration of an aqueous solution:p H = -log [H +]where log is the base 10 logarithm and [H +] is the hydrogen ion concentration in moles per literp H describes how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is, where a p H below 7 is acidic and a p H greater than 7 is basic. p H of 7 is considered neutral (e.g., pure water). Typically, values of p H range from 0 to 14, although very strong acids may have a negative p H, while very strong bases may have a p H exceeding 14. The term \"\"p H\"\" was first described by Danish biochemist Søren Peter Lauritz Sørensen in 1909. p H is an abbreviation for \"\"power of hydrogen\"\" where \"\"p\"\" is short for the German word for power, potenz and H is the element symbol for hydrogen.

Therefore, it's an important foundation for good craftsmanship. Let's begin with building the abstract knowledge framework before diving into particular matter. Color Space Definition: A color space is the type and number of colors which originate from the combinations of color components of a color model. We speak of a color space because a color model defines a – mostly three-dimensional – coordinate system by its components, and in its space one point corresponds to one specific color. Fictitious Relative Color Space Example: ● Two-dimensional color model ● Component 1: green - Component 2: red ● Scale: five steps from 0 to 100 Actual color perception of the 36 value sets of this relative color space varies on different monitors with different hardware configuration. Relative and absolute color space With the properties of a color model alone, however, we can only determine a certain color relatively to other colors of the color space.

For the past 400 years, the drug of choice to combat the headachy symptoms of color complexity and substance uncertainty has been the primary color scheme. The painter's three primary colors are the foundation of academic color theory (which is not really a theory), and some art school graduates develop a rigid attachment to primary colors and the formulaic approach to color mixing that goes with them. So it seems surprising to ask ... do \"\"primary\"\" colors exist? Even more surprising to learn that the answer is — no!This page examines the history of painting, from ancient color theories to modern colorimetry, to identify the guiding principles of color mixture used by artisans. A major theme is that \"\"primary\"\" colors are either imaginary or imperfect. That is, primary colors are either imaginary sensations you cannot see — and \"\"colors you can't see\"\" aren't really colors — or they are actual lights or paints that cannot mix all possible colors, which means they aren't really \"\"primary\"\". I once received an email from an artist and \"\"color theorist\"\" who insisted that the subtractive (CMY) primaries were \"\"the primary colors of the universe.\"\" The best antidote to that kind of fuzzy color worship is a historical review of how color theory developed, and why primary colors — imaginary or imperfect — were conceived.the ancient primaries We can pick up the story in 1613, when the Jesuit mathematician François d'Aguilon (1567-1617) of Brussels published his Opticorum libri sex (Optics in six chapters), illustrated with seven handsome engravings by the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640).color visionthe ancient primariesthe painter's primaries Newtonian color confusionsmaterial trichromacycomprehensive color modelsperceptual trichromacycolorimetryimaginary or imperfect primaries D'Aguilon discussed the optics of the eye, linear perspective, surveying instruments, and the behavior of light and color, using practical demonstrations that would be of interest to painters.

The Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book both feature the best displays in their class, with very accurate color reproduction and high pixel densities. The move to the 3:2 aspect ratio with the Surface Pro 3 was a game changer for that tablet, and it is great to see they have stuck with this even with the much larger Surface Studio. There is a lot to talk about in regards to the display of the Surface Studio. First of all, it is truly a “wow” moment for practically anyone who sees it. We can get a bit carried away with talk of pixels, color gamuts, and contrast, but pretty much anyone who has seen this Surface Studio has said “wow” whether they are technical or not. The combination of a huge number of pixels, a very large display, good brightness, and the not so average aspect ratio really make the Studio stand out. The fact that it’s all in a 12.5 mm thick design is the icing on the cake. A few pages ago, I spoke of attention to detail.

The idea that painters can mix all colours except three can be traced back to Aristotle in his Meteorologica [c. 350 B. C.], but surprisingly Aristotle (Fig. 6.2.1A) gives these colours as the same three he saw in the rainbow: red ( phoinikoun ), green ( prasinon) and blue/violet ( alourgon ). Yellow, red and blue are placed between white and black in a linear scale mentioned in a commentary on the Timaeus of Plato from the fourth/fifth century CE (Kuehni, 2003), and the same scale also appears in the first visual representation of the concept of primary colours, a diagram in Francois D'Aguilon's Opticorum Libri Sex of 1613 (Fig. 6.2.1B).

The primary goal of color management is to obtain a good match across color devices; for example, the colors of one frame of a video should appear the same on a computer LCD monitor, on a plasma TV screen, and as a printed poster. Color management helps to achieve the same appearance on all of these devices, provided the devices are capable of delivering the needed color intensities. With photography it is often critical that your prints or online gallery appear how they were intended. Color management cannot guarantee identical color reproduction, as this is rarely possible, but it can at least give you more control over any changes which may occur. [ 1]Parts of this technology are implemented in the operating system (OS), helper libraries, the application, and devices. A cross-platform view of color management is the use of an ICC-compatible color management system. The International Color Consortium (ICC) is an industry consortium that has defined: An open standard for a Color Matching Module (CMM) at the OS levelcolor profiles for: Devices, including devicelink-profiles that represent a complete color transformation from source device to target device Working spaces, the color spaces in which color data is meant to be manipulated There are other approaches to color management besides using ICC profiles.

There are actually two types of color gamuts, additive and subtractive. Additive refers to color that is generated by mixing together colored light to generate a final color. This is the style used by computers, televisions and other devices. It is more often referred to as RGB based on the red, green and blue light used to generate the colors. Subtractive color is that used by mixing together dyes that prevent reflection of light that then produce a color. This is the style used for all printed media such as photos, magazines, and books. It is also generally referred to as CMYK based on the cyan, magenta, yellow and black pigments used in the printing. Since we are talking about LCD monitors in this article, we will be looking at the RGB color gamuts and how various monitors are rated for their color. The problem is that there are a variety of different color gamuts that a screen can be rated by.s RGB, Adobe RGB, NTSC and CIE 1976In order to quantify how much color a device can handle, it uses one of the standardized color gamuts that define a particular range of color." }, { "docid": "D820092#0", "title": "http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?section_id=14&doc_id=1282863\nAre Red, Yellow, and Blue primary colors?", "text": "\"Programmable Logic Design Line Blog Are Red, Yellow, and Blue primary colors?

Current consumer models today only support s RGB and pricier models may offer wide gamut such as Adobe RGB/dci-p3. However, HDR capable displays support Rec2020 color gamut which is the broadest variety of colors available to us so far. The bad part about that is there scarce HDR content today. Only UHD blurays and limited online movies support this. Meaning if you are a gamer or someone who just uses a computer regularly, there is no benefit of having HDR.

Essential Guidelines Posted in Articles April 29th, 2011 By Ester Liquori16 Comments When you create a color swatch with Illustrator you may need to know some easy settings which the software proposes. Particularly the difference between Spot Color and Process Color is really important for a good printing result. Moreover, properly choosing the type of color between these greatly affect the final costs of the printing whole process. In this article we will see which options are the best for the job, why, how to properly manage Illustrator Swatch Options window, color options and book library. In order to better understand the different kind of color options in the swatch manager we have to inspect first a couple of important related issues: Color models, such as RGB or CMYK, describing the colors we see and work with in digital graphics, and Printing methods, such as offset lithography or digital printing. These topics are the basis to properly understand the differences between colors in design applications. An Overview on Color Models There are several models used to describe the color scheme: RGB, CMYK, LAB etc. Each model was created for specific purposes and has certain advantages over the others. Converting between the different models is generally done by a relatively simple mapping and it could be performed directly via software in case of professional ones (for example, Adobe Creative Suite software, Corel software, Quark Xpress, etc. )" } ]

Its composition presents a very complex formula including glycoproteins, water, antiseptic enzymes, antibodies, electrolytes and various organic compounds, which provide all the necessary functions. Mucus color ranging from clear to black helps decipher the clues of various health conditions. A healthy human body produces about a quart of mucus throughout the day to keep the body functioning properly. Depending on where the mucus is produced, it takes its name after the location in the body. For example, digestive system organs produce plenty of mucus to keep foods from moving down esophagus and to protect delicate stomach lining from highly acidic environment. Bowel mucus helps fecal masses pass smoothly down through the rectum. Another example of mucus at work is cervix, which produces cervical mucus necessary to protect delicate female reproductive system from pathogens and to facilitate the movement of sperm during fertile stage. Later, when pregnancy progresses, the cervix forms a mucus plug to seal uterus and protect a developing fetus. When delivery is imminent, the mucus plug comes out signaling that labor is on its way." } ]	[ { "docid": "D3363892#0", "title": "http://healthquestions.medhelp.org/coughing-green-secretions\nCoughing green secretions", "text": "\"Coughing green secretions Common Questions and Answers about Coughing green secretionscoughing Any green respiratory secretions can mean an infection.

Mucus is a normal, slippery and stringy fluid substance produced by many lining tissues in the body. It is essential for body function and acts as a protective and moisturizing layer to keep critical organs from drying out. Mucus also acts as a trap for irritants like dust, smoke, or bacteria. It contains antibodies and bacteria-killing enzymes to help fight off infections. The body produces a lot of mucus -- about 1 to 1.5 liters per day.

Your mucus color can provide valuable information on the current condition of your lungs. It is vital to understand that mucus is a normal phenomenon that comes with having a chest or cold infection. Even though mucus can be quite gross to look at, it plays an important role in the body as it assists in providing protection to the mucus-making tissues that are found in the lungs, sinuses, mouth, GI tract, as well as in the nose. It provides this protection to ensure that the surfaces will not become dry. Under normal circumstances, mucus can come in a wide range of colors ranging from green, yellow to brown. When you start coughing up brown mucus, it will be vital to make sure that you take immediate note of this, as it is an indication that you are suffering from more than a mere cold.

This leaves many parents to ponder one more odd thought, what do different baby booger colors mean? Well, first for trivia’s sake, what is a booger exactly? Inside every little nose a substance called mucus is formed from water and mucin. This slimy stuff exists to catch contaminates as we breathe in air preventing it from reaching the lungs. Usually, the tiny hairs within the nose move mucus down the throat and you swallow it without ever knowing.

Phlegm originates from the lungs. It is different from the mucus that is produced in the nasal passages. A common cause of phlegm is post nasal drip which is a symptom of sinus infections, colds, flu and inhalation of irritants. The diagnosis of the underlying condition could be made from the color of the phlegm. Colored phlegm is usually indicative of bronchial infection.

It is also known as sputum. Normally the lining of the respiratory passages produces moderate amounts of mucus to help moisturize these linings and to trap dust and microbes. The movement of air through the respiratory passages has a drying effect and without mucus the lining of these passages would not be able to stay moist and supple. The added benefit is that by trapping dust and microbes in the air, this mucus can then be pushed out from the respiratory passages thereby preventing these foreign particles from reaching the deeper areas of the lung and possibly causes damage or disease. Despite the normal presence of mucus, it does not full explain the reason for phlegm and sputum when coughing. For most healthy people, coughing does not cause the expulsion of mucus. However, when there is copious amounts of mucus then it can be coughed up as phlegm or sputum. Excessive mucus is seen in various inflammatory diseases, be it due to trauma, allergy or infection.

Throat mucus in general is actually something that the body uses to stay healthy and lubricated. For instance, excessive screaming or yelling can contribute to the formation of extra mucus that can build up in the throat. And smoking, which can also create extremely dry conditions in the larynx, can also lead to excess mucus production. Yellow phlegm in particular can scream infection.

Mucus acts as a filter of the air you breathe by catching dirt and debris as you inhale it, protecting your lungs. However, Ellis explains, what most people think of as the substance in their nose and sinus passages is a delicate balance of both mucus and watery secretions — fluid made by the cells of the nose and sinuses. Usually these two substances work together smoothly, and you probably don't even notice them. \"\" If you get an allergy or a cold and your nose is running like a faucet, you're making an excess of watery secretions,\"\" Ellis says. At the other extreme, thick mucus — the kind that leads to post-nasal drip and congestion or gets crusty — is usually the result of being excessively dry.

Also known as \"\"combat fatigue\"\" or \"\"battle neurosis\"\", it has some overlap with the diagnosis of acute stress reaction used in civilian psychiatry. It is historically linked to shell shock and can sometimes precurse post-traumatic stress disorder. Combat stress reaction is an acute reaction that includes a range of behaviors resulting from the stress of battle that decrease the combatant's fighting efficiency. The most common symptoms are fatigue, slower reaction times, indecision, disconnection from one's surroundings, and the inability to prioritize. Combat stress reaction is generally short-term and should not be confused with acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other long-term disorders attributable to combat stress, although any of these may commence as a combat stress reaction. The US Army uses the term/acronym COSR (Combat Stress Reaction) in official medical reports. This term can be applied to any stress reaction in the military unit environment. Many reactions look like symptoms of mental illness (such as panic, extreme anxiety, depression, and hallucinations), but they are only transient reactions to the traumatic stress of combat and the cumulative stresses of military operations.

This means that military veterans suffering from war-related injuries, who have 20-plus years of service, receive their VA disability compensation in addition to the full amount of their military retirement pay. In order to qualify for CRSC, the following conditions must apply to the combat veteran. First, the veteran must have 20 or more years of credible military service or -- if it is less than 20 years -- then he or she must have been Chapter 61 medically retired. Second, the individual must be a current recipient of military retired pay. Third, the wounded veteran must have a 10 percent or more VA-rated injury. Fourth, the military retired pay received by the veteran is reduced by his or her VA disability payments.

The pensions are called \"\"Aid and Attendance\"\" and \"\"Housebound.\"\" Many are not getting the benefits they are eligible for, because they lack the knowledge of what programs are available and don't know how to file for pension benefits. Although many veterans are eligible for pensions, filling out the necessary forms and understanding the filing process can often be overwhelming and frustrating. In an interview with Aging Care, Joseph Scott Mc Carthy, a veteran advocate answers some common questions about veteran pension and financial assistance. Can Caregivers Get Financial Assistance for Caring for a Veteran? Yes, spouses or family members of veterans may get tax-free money for caring for veterans or surviving spouses. The VA program is called Aid and Attendance or Housebound Pension and requires the claimant to meet eligibility requirements to receive the money. A veteran with a dependent, for example, may receive as much as $25,525 per year to pay for un-reimbursed long-term care.

Spending years in the military will often make it difficult for most people to adjust back into civilian life. For most veterans, past military service typically affects all areas of life, including relationships, family, finances, and career goals. Serving in the armed forces also typically has a big impact on a person’s mental and emotional well being as well. Veterans counseling is a type of counseling that can be used by military veterans to adjust to the transition from military life to civilian life. Any veteran that was discharged under honorable or general circumstances in the United States typically has access to services, such as veterans counseling, regardless of their ages or ranks. Even today, veterans that served in all different wars - from World War II to the recent Middle Eastern conflicts - seek the services of veterans counselors. Counselors in this field also usually provide services to families of military veterans as well. Mental and emotional health problems are some of the most important issues that veterans counselors may help with. For instance, they may help veterans and their families cope with mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, grief, and post-traumatic stress syndrome." }, { "docid": "D163613#0", "title": "http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a17460/response-man-who-shot-osama-bin-laden-0313/\nThe Shooter Needs Health Insurance: A Response to Stars and Stripes", "text": "\"Feb 12, 2013Update: A correction.

Story highlights Authors found 83 suicides between 2001 and 2008A range of deployment- and combat-related risk factors were evaluated Authors blame problems like alcohol abuse, depression and manic depression The record number of military suicides seen in recent years may not be directly due to extended deployments or combat experience, according to a new study. This data analysis, funded by the Department of Defense, suggests that the real reason behind the growing number of military suicides is underlying mental health issues in this population. Their findings will be published in the next edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association. What's causing soldiers to kill themselves at a record rate -- there were 325 confirmed or potential suicides last year among active and non-active military personnel -- are the same mental health problems that can be found in the general population, according to the study authors: depression, manic depression and alcohol abuse. These are all problems that are fundamentally treatable at some level. But the military will have to change the way it handles soldiers with mental illness if we expect to see the number of suicides decline, according to the author of a related editorial published in the journal. VA boss: 'No veteran should have to wait for claims'The researchers said they did this study because of the alarming increase in military suicides; in the past, some studies have shown that military personnel were less at risk for suicide than the general population. The study authors looked at data from the Millennium Cohort Study, the largest-ever long-term study on the military.

If you don't have any on hand for your recipe, don't despair - it's quite easy to recreate the leavening effect of baking powder by substituting baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) and an acidic ingredient to your recipe, which will react to form leavening bubbles. Because many common kitchen ingredients are acidic, you have many options for making your own baking powder. As an added bonus, the ingredients of some substitute recipes are cheaper than the equivalent amount of baking powder. Ingredients Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda), and one of the following options: Cream of tartar Cornstarch (optional)Buttermilk, sour milk, or yogurt Vinegar or lemon juice Molasses, golden syrup, or treacle Steps1 Use 1/4 teaspoon baking soda (plus an acid) for every 1 teaspoon of baking powder in your recipe. Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) is an ingredient in nearly all substitute baking powder recipes. Baking soda acts as the base in the acid-base reaction that recreates the leavening effect of baking powder. You may choose from a variety of acidic ingredients, but, for the reaction to work correctly, you'll need this common kitchen base. When substituting baking soda for baking powder, know that baking soda is about four times as powerful as baking powder, so 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda equals 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda equals 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and so on . While the amount of baking soda you will use as a substitute for baking powder is always 1/4 of the amount of baking powder called for, note that the volume of your acidic ingredient will vary from recipe to recipe.2 Use an acid that compliments your recipe." }, { "docid": "D1369614#0", "title": "http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-to-Clean-an-Oven-Naturally-/10000000177630341/g.html\nHow to Clean an Oven Naturally", "text": "\"Home Buying Guides Major Appliances Ranges & Cooking Appliances Wall Ovens How to Clean an Oven Naturallye Bay 10K Views Like Share March 10, 2016A well-used oven may very often be a messy oven, as well.

Unfortunately, conventional methods of cleaning ovens can pose health risks.

Self-cleaning ovens present another option; however, their high temperatures may cause a number of problems, including fire hazard and death to household birds. Those seeking a safer alternative have several choices. One of most common is baking soda, which is a powerful, yet environmentally friendly, cleaner. Other variations include ingredients like citrus, vinegar, and borax; scouring sticks can also be used to remove extra-hard, baked-on grime.

Then add vinegar and boiling water. The simple (but fun-to-watch) chemical reaction should begin to remove the tarnish immediately. Heavily tarnished pieces may need to soak a little longer. Utensils should come out quite fine with a good buffing with a dry cloth. If you want to get real nerdy, read this explanation of the science behind this process from the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

( Note: Most liquid laundry detergents in recipes for “Borax-free” slime contain Borax. ) What’s the science behind the fun? To make slime, you need a chemical called a crosslinker to make all of the glue molecules stick together. When you use contact lens solution, the boric acid in contact solution combines with baking soda to make borate, the same crosslinking solution that Borax contains. To make Borax powder-free slime, just add a pinch or two of baking soda per ounce of glue (around 1 tsp per bottle of clear glue), stir, add food coloring or glitter and then keep adding contact lens solution and stirring until the glue isn’t sticky any more. You can add water to the glue before adding the contact solution to change the consistency of the slime. You can find more slime recipes here.

Treatments like Apple Cider Vinegar can help heal the condition, while dietary changes like avoiding artificial sweeteners can help prevent future occurrences of LS. What is Lichen Sclerosus While a somewhat uncommon disorder, lichen sclerosus is a skin condition that affects individuals, particularly women, worldwide. The condition is typically characterized by patchy, white skin that appears thinner than normal. Lichen sclerosus can affect any part of the body, but it most often involves the genital and anal areas. While several common symptoms have been identified in recent years, lichen sclerosus may present indirect or even unapparent symptoms. As such, it is often difficult to diagnose and is even often misdiagnosed. When symptoms do occur, the most common symptoms include severe itching, discomfort particularly when the condition is located in the genital or anal region, smooth white spots on the skin, blotchy or wrinkled patches, easy bruising and tearing, bleeding, blistering, ulcerations and pain during intercourse. It is important for an individual to seek treatment if she feels she may have symptoms similar to that of the condition or if she has previously been diagnosed with the condition. Lichen sclerosis is often a pervasive condition that progresses and can lead to further complications if not treated." }, { "docid": "D1831858#0", "title": "http://www.liverenewed.com/2014/05/vinegar-and-baking-soda-for-cleaning.html\nIs a Vinegar and Baking Soda Mixture Effective for Cleaning?", "text": "Is a Vinegar and Baking Soda Mixture Effective for Cleaning?

This means that when these two substances are mixed into a dough or batter and baked, a chemical reaction occurs causing the baked goods to rise. The leavening process not only raises the baked good, but also makes it more tender and supports browning. While baking soda and baking powder serve the same main function, the way in which they work to make a baked good rise is different. What Is Baking Soda? Baking soda, also sometimes referred to as “sodium bicarb,” is just plain sodium bicarbonate. On the ph scale, it is considered a basic. In order for it to do it’s job of leavening your baked good, it needs an acidic component to react with. When the basic properties of baking soda mix with the acidic properties of another ingredient the baking soda works to neutralize the acid and this is what causes the air bubbles (carbon dioxide) that leaven the baked good. In baking, the usual acidic components include: buttermilk, brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, yogurt, lemon juice (or other citrus juice), natural cocoa powder (dutch processed cocoa powder is not acidic), and chocolate." }, { "docid": "D2624592#0", "title": "http://gracessweetlife.com/2011/05/red-velvet-cake-with-raspberry-filling-and-cream-cheese-frosting/\nRed Velvet Cake with Raspberry Filling and Cream Cheese Frosting", "text": "Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Friday, 13th May 2011My sisters and I have been preparing for Natalie’s (my niece) bridal shower.

Full Answer Combustion occurs because hydrocarbons and oxygen contain more energy than carbon dioxide and water. The application of activation energy, such as heat, to the hydrocarbons in an oxygen environment causes the hydrogen and carbon to bond with the oxygen, putting the atoms into molecules with a lower energy state. The excess energy is given off as heat.

Chemistry & Forensic Science, University College Cork (2017)Answered May 4, 2016Since there isn't much information about which differences you want to know about their roles for life. So let's start with oxygen which for the most part exists as molecular oxygen O² which is O=O. Oxygen makes up about 21% of the air we breathe. It can be produced by photosynthesis using sunlight, water and Carbon Dioxide through a number of processes for a different post. Oxygen is used in our bodies with glucose to produce energy and water. This energy is then used throughout the body where needed. However there's another product from this reaction and it's CO2. The full reaction between glucose and oxygen is -C6H12O6 + 6O2 ==> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. The body holds on to the energy and we breathe out the CO2 and H2O. So let's talk about CO2." }, { "docid": "D3009125#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_Combustion_of_glucose\nWhat is combustion?", "text": "Neejan NJ 5,936 Contributions...for all your questions.

Skills: Balancing Chemical Equations New terms: Stoichiometry Stoichiometric Coefficients In chemistry it is very important to understand the relationship between reactants and products in a reaction. Stoichiometry is exactly that. It is the quantitative relation between the number of moles (and therefore mass) of various products and reactants in a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions must be balanced, or in other words, must have the same number of various atoms in the products as in the reactants. If a chemical reaction is not balanced, no information about the relationship between products and reactants can be derived. So the first thing to do when you see a chemical reaction is to balance it. We balance reactions by adding coefficients in front of the reactants and products. These coefficients are the stoichiometric coefficients.

You aren't going to be able to do any calculations successfully if you don't know exactly what all the terms mean.

That is actually how most lab reactions are done - in tubes or flasks (or whatever) open to the atmosphere, so that the pressure is constant at atmospheric pressure.

This law is a manifestation that enthalpy is a state function. Introduction Hess's Law is named after Russian Chemist and Doctor Germain Hess. Hess helped formulate the early principles of thermochemistry. His most famous paper, which was published in 1840, included his law on thermochemistry. Hess's law is due to enthalpy being a state function, which allows us to calculate the overall change in enthalpy by simply summing up the changes for each step of the way, until product is formed. All steps have to proceed at the same temperature and the equations for the individual steps must balance out. The principle underlying Hess's law does not just apply to Enthalpy and can be used to calculate other state functions like changes in Gibbs' Energy and Entropy. Definition: Hess's Law The heat of any reaction for a specific reaction is equal to the sum of the heats of reaction for any set of reactions which in sum are equivalent to the overall reaction: (Although we have not considered the restriction, applicability of this law requires that all reactions considered proceed under similar conditions: we will consider all reactions to occur at constant pressure. ) Application Hydrogen gas, which is of potential interest nationally as a clean fuel, can be generated by the reaction of carbon (coal) and water: (2) 2 C 2Calorimetry reveals that this reaction requires the input of 90.1 k J of heat for every mole of consumed." }, { "docid": "D773295#0", "title": "http://chemistryhelp.net/basic-chemistry/complete-and-incomplete-combustion\n.", "text": "Complete and Incomplete combustion.

It is, you may say, a synonym for the not-ourselves. Yet if this were so, and the word meant nothing but what is disliked by the speaker, the vast majority that lives elsewhere, in Seattle or in New York, would use it in turn to designate us, the eccentric minority. But it is notorious that they do not. They may call us dilettanti, Anglomaniacs, snobs, Unitarians, or “damn literary fellows”; they never call us Philistines. This term is not, then, like the word foreign, which means whatever is strange and unintelligible to us, whoever we are; it is rather like the word Irish or Mugwump, which signifies what is opposed or distasteful only to a certain tribe or fellowship of men. Such terms are essentially merely descriptive and geographical. Even Prussian is not necessarily a term of abuse; any one except a Frenchman might use it simply to denote a fact of civil allegiance, and to the ears of a corporal or a school-master it might even have a glorious sound. And so it might be with the word Philistine, were it not as yet too modern and metaphorical to be used by those to whom it applies, who, being of a somewhat conservative and plebian turn of mind, prefer to call themselves “smart” fellows and “bright” girls. But if any of them should do me the honor to read my definition of the ancient and populous Philistine nation, they may henceforth point with pride (as they are apt to do) to its glories as to then-own, and be as happy in being Philistines as they are now in being Americans." }, { "docid": "D2029238#0", "title": "http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/sean-penn-charlize-theron-relationship-keeper-article-1.1587892\nSean Penn calls girlfriend Charlize Theron 'a keeper,' reveals Piers Morgan", "text": "Sean Penn calls girlfriend Charlize Theron 'a keeper,' reveals Piers Morgan BY Zayda Rivera NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Wednesday, January 22, 2014, 3:05 PMfacebook Tweet email Charlize Theron and Sean Penn attended Penn’s Help Haiti Home gala on Jan. 11, when Penn told Piers Morgan that Theron is a ‘keeper.’ ( Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for J/P Haitian Rel)It’s true!

The 48-year-old TV host got further confirmation when he engaged in dialogue with the “Gangster Squad” actor later that night. “At 2 a.m., Sean came over and bear-hugged me,” he wrote. “’" }, { "docid": "D2097974#0", "title": "http://globegazette.com/news/local/state-law-targets-bad-septic-systems/article_05732d8a-e56d-11df-9f06-001cc4c03286.html\nState law targets bad septic systems", "text": "\"State law targets bad septic systems By KRISTIN BUEHNER, [email protected] Oct 31, 2010 9Subscribe for 33¢ / day Buenzowmsc Brian Hanft HANLONTOWN — Terry and Gina Keeper closed their Hanlontown supper club in 2008 and put it on the market. Two years later, Terry said they still haven’t sold it because of a new state law about septic tanks. “We don’t think (the septic tank) meets inspection,” he said. Iowa’s Time of Transfer Inspection law (SF261) was passed by the Iowa Legislature in April of 2008 and went into effect July 1, 2009. The law requires that every home or business served by a septic system have that septic system inspected prior to the sale or deed transfer for the home or business. All inspections must be conducted by an inspector who has been certified by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The law is intended to eliminate substandard septic tanks piped directly to a ditch or tile line to protect people from coming into contact with raw sewage. Tanks must have a functioning leach field, sand filter or other treatment device to pass inspection. The Keepers, who live in Forest City, checked into the costs of installing a new septic system for their restaurant. “The last quote I had was $40,000,” said Terry. “" }, { "docid": "D182083#0", "title": "http://comfortkeepers.ca/family-education-centre/funding-options-for-your-care/\nPaying for Care", "text": "Paying for Care Planning and Funding Care The cost of long-term care for seniors varies as much as the types of care available and the degree of assistance you or a loved one need.

Download-4 (2), 2011 European Journal of Economic and Political Studies The Role of the Military in Disaster Response in the U. S. Naim Kapucu1 Abstract: Several scholarly works have documented a heightened military involvement in responding to natural and man-made disasters. This is due to both the historical focus of the military on responding to domestic disasters and the recent impact of large-scale terrorist attacks on the U. S. territory. While retaining its primary role of safeguarding the country from external threats, the military has become one of the main partners of federal, state, and local agencies in disaster response operations, providing its available resources, logistical capacity, and operational services effectively used against both man-made and natural disasters. This article discusses the role of the military in responding to natural and man-made disasters and explores the historical involvement of military in disaster management. Keywords: Disaster Management, Crisis Management, Posse Comitatus Act, Natural Disasters, Man-made Disasters, Military’s Role in Crisis Management 1 University of Central Florida, [email protected] 7 Naim Kapucu Introduction Disaster and crisis management is a quintessential role of the state/public administration. The military is accepted as a disaster response agency that provides assistance and resources to civil communities in natural disasters, both in the US and abroad. Most of the time, military support is activated only in large-scale disasters since small-scale disasters can be handled with the capacity of local resources (Anderson 1970; Schrader 1993). Recent disasters in the US such as the BP Oil Spill, the 2011 Mississippi River Floods, the April 25-28 2011 Tornado Outbreak, and the 2011 Joplin Tornado all reflect the importance of the military’s response in disasters. Recent disasters across the globe including the Haiti Earthquake and the Pakistan Floods in 2011 also show that the US military is an important player in international disaster response within other countries which lack the capabilities to respond. This study focuses on the evolving role of the military within the US, using Hurricane Katrina as a case." }, { "docid": "D466085#0", "title": "http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Sheriff's+deputy\nsheriff", "text": "\"sheriff (redirected from Sheriff's deputy) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia . Sheriff Usually the chief peace officer of a county. The modern office of sheriff in the United States descends from a one-thousand-year-old Englishtradition: a \"\"shire-reeve\"\" (shire-keeper) is the oldest appointment of the English crown. Because countygovernments were typically the first established units of government in newly settled Americanterritories, sheriffs were among the first elected public officials in an area and thus developed a leadingrole in local law enforcement. A dichotomy frequently exists today between a sheriff's jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of a local policedepartment. A metropolitan area may encompass an entire county or more; police departments andsheriffs will often maintain concurrent jurisdiction in the overlapping area. A sheriff may assume that a local police department will do its duty in enforcing the law, but the primary obligation rests with thesheriff and requires him to act when evidence of neglect of that duty exists. Some state constitutions specifically provide for the office of sheriff, and state legislatures frequentlyestablish conditions of office. Sheriffs are typically chosen in a county election. To serve as sheriff, an individual must usually meet certain requirements: residence within the jurisdiction, no criminal record,U.

Informed consent often refers to consent to a medical procedure after the patient has been made aware of all the risks and consequences. Medical professionals commonly have patients sign informed consent forms to limit their liability if the patient later sues them based upon the outcome of the procedure. Such consents are regulated by state informed health care consent laws, which vary by state. These laws define who will make health care decisions for you, if you are unable to make them for yourself. This law authorizes certain persons to provide consent for minors or persons who are incapacitated and, therefore, unable to make or communicate their own medical decisions. The law establishes a priority list of persons who are authorized to provide informed consent to health care on behalf of a minor or an incapacitated person. If you are an adult, the law usually requires that a doctor determine that you are an incapacitated person before anyone is authorized to consent on your behalf. Informed consent is defined as: “the agreement by a person to a proposed course of conduct after the lawyer has communicated adequate information and explanation about the material risks of and reasonably available alternatives to the proposed course of conduct.” In re Collmar, 417 B.

This PDD’s purpose was to establish how the nation would respond to terrorism employing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and how the consequences of such an incident would be managed. Despite the very broad outlines of the PDD, consequence management, for the most part, continues to be a tabula rasa. It has never been done before. There are not yet any experts. The concept of “consequence management” will remain ill-defined as well-intentioned organizations and individuals grapple with how they might institutionalize a comprehensive operational response to a terrorist’s use of WMD. Make no mistake, though, consequence management is not only a characteristic of the Post Cold War, it is also an indicator of just how capable this nation is of re-conceptualizing and reorganizing for its security in the 21 st Century. It is with this humble and acute awareness that the following thoughts on consequence management and the supporting role of the American military are offered. This chapter does not provide answers, only data points that will hopefully help shape the emerging national doctrine of consequence management. Obviously, this perspective is based on the experience of the Marine Corps’ Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF)." }, { "docid": "D511975#0", "title": "http://archive.adl.org/learn/ext_us/scm.html?xpicked=4\nSovereign Citizen Movement", "text": "\"Extremism, Terrorism & Bigotry Sovereign Citizen Movement For Law Enforcement This document is an archived copy of an older ADL report and may not reflect the most current facts or developments related to its subject matter. The \"\"sovereign citizen\"\" movement is a loosely organized collection of groups and individuals who have adopted a right-wing anarchist ideology originating in the theories of a group called the Posse Comitatus in the 1970s. Its adherents believe that virtually all existing government in the United States is illegitimate and they seek to \"\"restore\"\" an idealized, minimalist government that never actually existed. To this end, sovereign citizens wage war against the government and other forms of authority using \"\"paper terrorism\"\" harassment and intimidation tactics, and occasionally resorting to violence.

That obscure Michigan hunter would, three years later, become known to the entire world. He was Terry Nichols, friend and accomplice of Oklahoma City Federal Building bomber Timothy Mc Veigh. Nichols subscribed to an unusual right-wing anti-government ideo-logy whose adherents have in recent years increasingly plagued public officials, law enforcement officers and private citizens with a variety of tactics designed to attack the government and other forms of authority. Its members call themselves, variously, consti-tutionalists, freemen, preamble citizens, common law citizens and non-foreign/non-resident aliens (Nichols used several of these), but most commonly refer to themselves as \"\"sovereign citizens. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D3221778#0", "title": "http://public.gettysburg.edu/~jpowers/comitatus.html\nANGLO SAXON COMITATUS RELATIONSHIP", "text": "\"1. The relationship of loyalty between the Germanic eorl and his thanes was first described by the Roman historian, Tacitus (55-117 CE), in one of his major works, Germania, dealing with the German tribes. ( The Concise Columbia Encyclopedia 927).2. In essence, Comitatus consisted of a youth attaching himself to a strong leader, to whom he offers loyal companionship and military service in exchange for economic and legal protection. The eorl in turn shared the booty of battle with his thanes equally and was known as a \"\"giver of rings.\"\" The eorl fought for victory; thanes fought for their eorl. Theirs was a satisfying relationship verging on the spiritual. ( ancient lecture notes)3. If a thane retreated from the battlefield before his leader or after his leader had been killed, he suffered shame and ridicule for the rest of his life.

What powers are implied from this duty? In this connection, five categories of executive power should be distinguished: first, there is that executive power which the Constitution confers directly upon the President by the opening clause of article II and, in more specific terms, by succeeding clauses of the same article; secondly, there is the sum total of the powers which acts of Congress at any particular time confer upon the President; thirdly, there is the sum total of discretionary powers which acts of Congress at any particular time confer upon heads of departments and other executive (''administrative'') agencies of the National Government; fourthly, there is the power which stems from the duty to enforce the criminal statutes of the United States; finally, there are so-called ''ministerial duties'' which admit of no discretion as to the occasion or the manner of their discharge. Three principal questions arise: first, how does the President exercise the powers which the Constitution or the statutes confer upon him; second, in what relation does he stand by virtue of the ''take care'' clause to the powers of other executive or administrative agencies; third, in what relation does he stand to the enforcement of the criminal laws of the United States? 613Whereas the British monarch is constitutionally under the necessity of acting always through agents if his acts are to receive legal recognition, the President is presumed to exercise certain of his constitutional powers personally. In the words of an opinion by Attorney General Cushing in 1855: ''It may be presumed that he, the man discharging the presidential office, and he alone, grants reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States. . . . So he, and he alone, is the supreme commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several States when called into the actual service of the United States. That is a power constitutionally inherent in the person of the President. No act of Congress, no act even of the President himself, can, by constitutional possibility, authorize or create any military officer not subordinate to the President.'' 614 Moreover, the obligation to act personally may be sometimes enlarged by statute, as, for example, by the act organizing the President with other designated officials into ''an Establishment by name of the Smithsonian Institute.''" }, { "docid": "D2821908#0", "title": "http://wmcreynolds.tripod.com/McRannald.htm\n.", "text": "\"More About the Surname Mc Reynolds To date, the surname Mc Ranald, Mc Rannald, Mc Reynolds is officially recognized by the Clan Donald as being from the Clan Donald South (Kintyre) or from the area of the Keppochs. The surname Mc Reynolds, which is the anglized form of Mc Ranald, appears to be survived mainly by our family. Possibly the surname Mc Ranald may be recognized as being attached to the Macdonalds of Clanranald or the Macdonalds of Sleat and Glengarry. This surname began to disappear in the later 17th century; those surnamed Mc Ranald opted to change thier surname back to Mc Donald. Why? Ernie is well read upon this subject and he asks some very well informed questions. There is a growing interest among the Mc Reynolds family regarding our ancestor, Johne Mc Rannald. Tradition tells us that Johne was of the Keppoch family but history implies that he may have been from any number of cadet families of the Clan Donald. We are searching for that cadet family; and in the process, we have realized that the surname Mc Ranald was at one time as common as Mc Donald throughout the Highlands.

D. to the fifth century. The primary source material is a series of lectures by J. B. Bury of the University of Cambridge which were published as The Invasion of Europe by the Barbarians. Professor Bury presented a coherent view of the invasions but his work was published in 1928 and some historical items, particularly in the early background material, may have been superceded by more recent findings. His book was reissued in 1963 without revision so any shortcomings of his work are not likely to be essential to his presentation. The barbarians that were most significant in the invasions were the Germans with a brief interlude of Hunnic penetration. The Slavic and Magyar migrations came after the period under consideration. Background of the Germanic Peoples In the period before 1000 B. C. the Germanic tribes lived in Scandinavia and the land between the Elbe and Oder Rivers. To the west of the Elbe River the land was occupied by Celtic people. To the east of the Oder River there were Baltic people such as the Letts and Lithuanians.

THIS STUDY OF ANGLO-SAXON POETRY WAS RESEARCHED FOR MY JUNIOR HONORS BRITISH LITERATURE CLASS. THE POEMS ARE 'THE WANDERER,' 'THE SEAFARER,' AND 'THE WIFE'S LAMENT. ' RAYMOND NIGHANTHE AUTHOR IS COLLEEN L. KLEESThe Old English, or Anglo-Saxon, era of England lasted from about 450-1066 A. D. The tribes from Germany that conquered Britain in the fifth century carried with them both the Old English language and a detailed poetic tradition. The tradition included alliteration, stressed and unstressed syllables, but more importantly, the poetry was usually mournful, reflecting on suffering and loss.1These sorrowful poems from the Anglo Saxon time period are mimetic to the Anglo-Saxons themselves; they reflect the often burdened and miserable lives and times of the people who created them. The Anglo-Saxon poems, “The Wanderer,” “The Seafarer,” and “The Wife’s Lament,” are three examples how literature is mimetic, for they capture the culture’s heroic beliefs of Fame and Fate, the culture’s societal structure, and religious struggle of the Old English time period: making the transition from paganism to Christianity. In order to understand how these poems mirror the Anglo-Saxons’ lives, one must know a little history about the culture. In the fifth century, the inhabitants of the island of Britain hired German mercenaries to defend them against their warring neighbors, the Picts and the Scots. 2 After having defeated the enemies, the pagan Angles, or Saxons, revolted against their former allies, the Britons, killing everyone, no matter what their status or occupation, destroyed towns and buildings, and drove out Christianity, the Britons’ religion. The conquerors were Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Franks, and Frisians, but they all had a similar culture so they became known as Anglo-Saxons." }, { "docid": "D354857#0", "title": "https://definitions.uslegal.com/p/posse-comitatus-act/\nPosse Comitatus Act Law and Legal Definition", "text": "\"Posse Comitatus Act Law and Legal Definition The Posse Comitatus Act is an act that prohibits the federal government from using the armed forces as a posse comitatus for law enforcement, except in cases and circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress. The act was enacted in the year1878, and it is cited in 18 USCS § 1385. In United States v. Yunis, 681 F. Supp. 891 (D. D. C. 1988), the court observed that , “The Posse Comitatus Act, provides that: Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the U. S. Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined not more than $ 10,000 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.” The court further observed that “The Posse Comitatus Act, 18 U. S. C. S. § 1385 (1979), is designed to limit \"\"the direct active use of federal troops by civil law enforcement officers\"\" to enforce the laws of the nation. Limiting military involvement in civilian affairs is basic to our system of government and the protection of individual constitutional rights. ”Further, in State v. Danko, 219 Kan. 490 (Kan. 1976), the court held that “The Posse Comitatus Act, 18 U. S. C. S. § 1385, expresses a policy that is for the benefit of the people as a whole, rather than a policy which could be characterized as designed to protect the personal rights of individual citizens as declared in the Fourth Amendment, Application of the extraordinary remedy of exclusion is unnecessary as an added deterrent to the serious criminal sanctions provided in the Act. ”Legal Definition list Posse Comitatus Positivist Jurisprudence Positive Servitude Positive Rate for Random Drug Testing Positive Pressure Respirator Posse Comitatus Act Possessio Bona Fide Possession Possession by Consumption Possession Income Taxes Possession is Nine Points of the Law Related Legal Terms21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act of 20033-A Sanitary Standards and Accepted Practice30-Year Contract [Agriculture]707b Action9/11 Commission Act Abactor Abandonment of Barges Act Abatement of Action ABC Transaction [Oil & Gas]Abnormally Dangerous Activity \"" }, { "docid": "D813846#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/art-literature/can-simple-poem-church-homecoming-service-83b68c90c8575b8f\nWhere Can You Find a Simple Poem About a Church Homecoming Service?", "text": "\"Art & Literature Literature Poetry Q: Where Can You Find a Simple Poem About a Church Homecoming Service?

A batch file necessarily contains one or multiple DOS commands (DOS commands are only operable on old DOS and new Windows OS). It is named “Batch” because it is a collection (batch) of commands. Batch files are useful as they can be used to command or run multiple instructions on a computer at a once or sequentially. Also, since they are text files, it is very easy to write and edit batch files. A big upside is, you don’t need to be a programmer to execute some simple commands to your computer if you want to do it using batch file. Simply, a batch file can have the same codes we write on Windows command prompt. Necessity of Running as Administrator As a batch file is a bunch of commands to instruct some tasks on DOS or Windows, sometimes you may need to execute commands in administrator mode. This helps the commands run in administrative privilege, thus making the instructions work with greater access. Traditional Methods and Problems As Windows do not run bat files as administrator, we have to use the right-click context menu to run it as admin." }, { "docid": "D1380170#0", "title": "http://www.hypexr.org/bash_tutorial.php\nG etting S tarted with BASH A Bash Tutorial", "text": "\"G etting S tarted with BASH A Bash Tutorial What is the Bash Shell?

These files may exist in your home directory, but that depends largely on the Linux distro you're using and how your sysadmin (if not you) has set up your account. If they're missing, Bash defaults to /etc/profile. You can easily create these files yourself using your favorite texteditor. They are:.bash_profile : read and the commands in it executed by Bash every time you log in to the system.bashrc : read and executed by Bash every time you start a subshell.bash_logout : read and executed by Bash every time a login shell exits Bash allows 2 synonyms for .bash_profile : .bash_login and .profile." }, { "docid": "D3268015#0", "title": "https://www.makeuseof.com/answers/word-echo-batch-file-language/\nWhat does the word âechoâ mean in batch file language?", "text": "\"2 answers Comments are Closed Jeffery Fabish June 17, 2011 at 8:50 pmecho just means to output to the screen.

In computer telecommunications, echo is the display or return of sent data at or to the sending end of a transmission. Echo can be either local echo, where the sending device itself displays the sent data, or remote echo, where the receiving device returns the sent data that it receives to the sender (which is of course simply no local echo from the point of view of the sending device itself). [ 1] [2] That latter, when used as a form of error detection to determine that data received at the remote end of a communications line are the same as data sent, is also known as echoplex, echo check, or loop check. When two modems are communicating in echoplex mode, for example, the remote modem echoes whatever it receives from the local modem.

Whilst local echo is often used with half-duplex transmission, so that bandwidth is not wasted upon remotely echoing data from the remote end of the communications channel, it is not the same as half-duplex transmission. A full-duplex communications channel can still employ local echo, and a half-duplex channel can still (albeit wastefully) employ remote echo, or no echo at all. [ 8] [6]Indeed, for example, that is the case for echoplex error checking, which requires full-duplex communication, so that received data can be echoed back as they are being received. [ 9] [10]Similarly, for another example, in the case of the TELNET communications protocol a local echo protocol operates on top of a full-duplex underlying protocol." }, { "docid": "D3055436#0", "title": "http://www.linfo.org/prompt.html\nCommand Prompt Definition", "text": "A command prompt, also referred to simply as a prompt, is a short text message at the start of the command line on a command line interface .

In batch files, you can accomplish this sort of thing with the for loop. NOTEIf you have a Unix background, the need for special statements to deal with wildcards may seem confusing at first. On Unix and Linux systems, the command shell expands all command line arguments with wildcards into a list of names before it starts up the command, so to the command it appears that the user typed out all of the names. This is called globbing. On DOS and Windows, the shell doesn't do this. When command-line arguments contain wildcard characters, it's up to the command or batch file to expand the name into a list of filenames. The basic version of the for command scans through a set or list of names and runs a command once for each.

The commands available in batch files are limited and don't include the programming constructs, such as indexed iteration, found in more sophisticated programming languages. But there some techniques that can be used to help you do what you want. In the old-style DOS world which batch files came from, you can define and use environment variables which can be used to pass information between batch files. The following batch file uses two environment variables called max and count. It also uses a goto statement to create a loop. @echo off set max=.oooo set count=. : LOOP echo hello there set count=%count%o if not %count%==%max% goto LOOP set max= set count= echo all done At the beginning of the batch file the max and count are initalized with the latter being set to a period." }, { "docid": "D2137519#0", "title": "https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490986.aspx\nRem", "text": "\"Docs Previous Versions Windows Windows XP Command-line reference A-Z Rem Rem September 11, 2009 2 minutes to read Enables you to include comments (remarks) in a batch file or in your configuration files.

An example is the rental agreement, which may transfer a substantial amount of liability from the rental agency to your firm. You may be unaware of the scope of liability you have assumed until a claim is filed. The following questions can help you identify some key risks associated with rental cars.

Commercial leases typically require the landlord, the tenant or, in most cases, both to carry insurance to cover the building and the parties in the lease. The insurance clause in the lease specifies what coverage is required and who is responsible to pay for it. Some insurance requirements are common, such as property damage and liability coverage, while others are more specific to leased space, such as loss of rent or business interruption coverage. Who Pays For every one of these types of coverage, one of the main elements in a commercial lease is defining who pays for them. Generally, in a full service or gross lease, the landlord pays for every expense of running the building, including insurance. In triple net leases, on the other hand, the tenant pays for her share of every expense, including the landlord's and tenant's insurance policies. However, for leases that fall in between the two extremes, these terms can be negotiated. Further complicating matters, the entity that the coverage protects has nothing to do with the entity paying for it.

BREAKING DOWN 'Commercial General Liability (CGL)'Commercial general liability policies have different levels of coverage. A policy may include premises coverage, which protects the business from claims that occur at the business’ physical location during regular business operations. It may also include coverage for bodily injury and property damage that is the result of finished products. Excess liability coverage can be purchased in order to cover claims that exceed the limit of the CGL policy. Some commercial general liability policies may have exclusions to what actions are covered. For example, a policy may not cover the costs associated with a product recall.

If a firm is involved in any product manufacturing and sale, it could be the subject of a product liability claim. When a firm receives a product liability claim, it means that someone has filed a claim against the firm alleging that a product it made and sold is defective. The claim can say that such a defective product has caused bodily injury or damaged to the property. In another situation, the firm may not be involved in making or selling a product itself but performs work for someone else. In this case, the company could be subjected to completed operations claim. In such a situation, someone could claim that the completed work is faulty, and it injured them or damaged their property. Hence businesses these days have their commercial general liability in place to take care of such claims. A commercial general liability insurance involves a product completed operations aggregate that covers the liability incurred by insured for property damage or injuries that happens to some third-party once contracted operations are completed. Thus, a product completed operations aggregate in a commercial general liability includes all bodily injury and property damage occurring away from premises that the insured person owns or rents and arising out of his work, except: Products that are still in the physical possession of a business or a company Incomplete work by a business or a company As personal and advertising injury claims do not fall within the products completed operations hazard, this aggregate limit applies only to bodily injury and property damage." }, { "docid": "D6568#0", "title": "http://www.insureon.com/insureonu/costs/general-liability\nHow Much Does General Liability Insurance Cost?", "text": "How Much Does General Liability Insurance Cost?

One of the most important aspects of buying or owning an aircraft is the insurance policy and yet many owners (and even some financiers) are not aware of the basic contents or restrictions contained in the insurance policy. It is a little too late to find out after the aircraft has been damaged that your policy isn’t quite as you expected it to be. This note sets out a basic explanation of some standard areas of cover in aviation insurance and then examines some market practices and their effect on insurance. Types of aviation insurance1. Aircraft Hull and Liability There are several standard aircraft liability policies in the London market, but for the purposes of keeping it simple, I will focus primarily on AVN1C, which is the London Aircraft Insurance Policy. This policy is mainly used for general aviation business, as opposed to major airlines, which obviously require wider coverage than is provided by this standard form. It covers both the hull risks and the insured’s liability to third parties and passengers. There are four main sections to AVN1C: Section I: Loss of or damage to aircraft Section II: Legal liability to third parties (other than passengers)Section III: Legal liability to passengers Section IV: General exclusions applicable to all sections Conditions precedent applicable to all sections General conditions applicable to all sections Definitions Section I - Loss of or damage to aircraft: Insurers will pay for, replace or repair accidental loss of or damage to the aircraft described in the schedule under the policy for the risks covered (generally being flight, taxiing and ground risks). It would be common for aircraft policies to have a separate premium rate for flight risks and a reduced premium rate for ground risks." }, { "docid": "D1562855#0", "title": "https://www.irmi.com/articles/expert-commentary/a-high-level-view-of-the-cgl-policy/\nA High-Level View of the CGL Policy", "text": "\"×20 Ways To Improve D&ODownload this FREE REPORT from IRMI to learn the top 20 ways to address basic directors and officers (D&O) coverage considerations, defense provisions, exclusions, excess coverage, and coordination with other insurance.

Since everyone else had a head start, we had to jump in where we could. Learning tends to track this pattern—we simply do not have the luxury of starting where we want. Craig F. Stanovich Liability Insurance January 2010Not that this is always bad; many of us would not be employed if we had to start at the absolute beginning. There are, however, certain costs to starting in the middle. One potential cost is that we may have failed to lay a proper foundation for what we have learned. Because this can result in gaps in our ability to fully understand, it is beneficial to take a step away from the trees and look at the forest—the oft-mentioned bigger picture.

A fracture is the medical term for a broken bone. Fractures are common; the average person has two during a lifetime. They occur when the physical force exerted on the bone is stronger than the bone itself. Your risk of fracture depends, in part, on your age. Broken bones are very common in childhood, although children's fractures are generally less complicated than fractures in adults. As you age, your bones become more brittle and you are more likely to suffer fractures from falls that would not occur when you were young. There are many types of fractures, but the main categories are displaced, non-displaced, open, and closed. Displaced and non-displaced fractures refer to the alignment of the fractured bone. In a displaced fracture, the bone snaps into two or more parts and moves so that the two ends are not lined up straight." } ]	[ { "docid": "D2095764#0", "title": "http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/420763\nEvaluation and Classification of Proximal Humeral Fractures", "text": "\"Medscape Orthopedics > Grand Rounds Evaluation and Classification of Proximal Humeral Fractures Sophia Cariati Medical Writer Host Orthopaedic Surgeon: Evan L.

Medscape Orthopaedics is pleased to make these valuable educational programs available online to an ever-increasing segment of the orthopaedic community. Visitors to the Medscape Grand Rounds programs are encouraged to provide commentary on the topics presented. Proximal humeral fractures are not rare, accounting for 4% to 5% of all fractures in the United States. [ 1] Most of these fractures are minimally displaced or nondisplaced and can be managed conservatively with immobilization and early motion. However, 15% to 20% are displaced and represent a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. Debate continues to surround the reliability of available classification systems, indications for surgery, and the most effective fixation techniques. Nevertheless, successful management of these fractures depends upon a detailed patient history, thorough clinical exam, careful and accurate x-rays, and CT and MRI scans as needed. Issues in the management of proximal humeral fractures were reviewed at an orthopaedic Grand Rounds presentation at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, NY, on October 11, 2000, hosted and led by Evan Flatow, MD, with a presentation by Fran Cuomo, MD." }, { "docid": "D3410802#0", "title": "http://www.radiologymasterclass.co.uk/tutorials/musculoskeletal/trauma/trauma_x-ray_page2\nIntroduction to Trauma X-ray Comminuted fractures", "text": "« Previous Tutorials Next »Introduction to Trauma X-ray Comminuted fractures Key points Fractures resulting in multiple fragments are called comminuted fractures A bone injury that results in more than 2 separate bone components is known as a comminuted fracture.

Diagnosing skull fractures Management of skull fracture By Terry Zeigler, Ed D, ATCSkull fractures (also known as cranial fractures) can occur in any sport in which hard objects are flying at high speeds. Fractures to the skull can occur in the anterior skull (facial fractures), top, sides, or in the back of the skull (basilar fractures).including traumatic brain injury , subdural hematoma, epidural or extradural hematoma, or traumatic intracerebral hematoma/contusion. These injuries may be life-threatening requiring immediate medical assistance to stabilize and minimize the amount of possible damage to the brain. Types of skull fractures There are three categories of skull fractures including linear fractures, comminuted fractures, and depressed fractures. Linear fractures are considered simple fractures as the skull fractures in one line as may be seen in a broken nose (nasal fracture) . These tend to heal without complications.

often secondary to motor vehicle accidents and falls The axial load drives the intervertebral disk into vertebral body below Usually produces a comminuted, vertical fracture through the vertebral body Fragments may be retropulsed into the spinal canal injuring the cord Burst fractures may resemble flexion-teardrop fractures In a classical flexion-teardrop fracture, there is an avulsed anterior, inferior triangular bony fragment that is displaced anteriorly Both the anterior and posterior ligamentous structures are injured, which may not be the case in a burst fracture Burst fractures, however, can have associated injury to the posterior ligamentous structures, especially if there is a combination of axial loading and flexion at the time of injury Most common site of injury to the spine is the thoracolumbar junction Clinical Findings Back pain Numbness or parasthesia Weakness Imaging Findings On conventional radiography Lateral view of the spine on conventional radiograph should show a comminuted fracture of the vertebral body The anterior portion of the body will be wedged Retropulsion can be inferred if the posterior surface of the vertebral body is convex towards the spinal canal, as the normal cervical vertebral body has a concave posterior surface Injury to the posterior ligamentous structures can be inferred by forward subluxation of the fractured body on the one below it CT will show the comminuted fracture and the retropulsed fragment and provide additional information on the compromise of the spinal canal Treatment Some controversy exists as to best treatment Large number of thoracolumbar and lumbar fractures can be treated conservatively while some fractures require surgery Principles of treatment include neural decompression, stabilization and fusion Unstable fractures include a neurologic deficit Loss of 50% of vertebral body height Fracture associated with dislocation Thoracolumbar burst fracture: angulation of the thoracolumbar junction

Introduction Section: Choose prevnext More than 250,000 hip fractures occur in the United States annually. Most of these fractures occur in the elderly, with associated 1-year mortality rates ranging from 14% to 36% ( 1 ). The treatment of hip fractures often requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes addressing underlying medical conditions and providing appropriate surgical fixation, early mobilization, and rehabilitation to ensure a return to baseline functional mobility and independence ( 1 ). Delays in appropriate surgical treatment are associated with increased complication and mortality rates ( 1, 2 ). Suboptimal treatment of hip fractures may result in debilitating complications such as avascular necrosis ( AVN ), fracture nonunion or malunion, or fixation hardware failure. Therefore, early detection and classification of hip fractures are essential for guiding early appropriate treatment.

Bioabsorbable fixation methods may reduce the frequency of hardware-related symptoms. Medical Therapy If the fracture is not displaced and the extensor mechanism is intact, the fracture may be treated by means of immobilization. This usually involves placing the affected extremity in a cylinder cast for 4-6 weeks. The patient is allowed to bear weight in the cast. Once radiographic evidence indicates union and clinical signs of healing (nontender to palpation) are present, the patient is changed to a removable brace. A hinged knee brace is used during ambulation. A program emphasizing range of motion and strengthening is then implemented. Once the patient is able to perform a straight leg raise without extensor lag and has greater than 90º of knee flexion, brace use may be discontinued. With proper patient selection, good results can be expected in approximately 90% of patients with nondisplaced fractures." }, { "docid": "D3068615#0", "title": "http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fracture\nfracture", "text": "\"fracture Also found in: Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Acronyms, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

For a physician classification of fractures is of utmost importance. Not only it suggests the severity and mechanics of injury that occurred, but also helps to formulate most suitable treatment. There are many types of classifications which are available to physicians. These classifications vary with type of bone involved and the region of bone involved. For this discussion we would stick to the basic and general classification of the fractures of long bones. We have already discussed closed and open fractures. That is one type of classification according to absence or presence of wounds that communicate with fracture. Fractures are also classified according to the pattern in which bone breaks.

Relevant anatomy The subtrochanteric region of the femur is not well defined. In an adult it is considered to be the area extending 5 cm below the lesser trochanter to the junction of the proximal and middle one third of the femur. The fracture pattern of a subtrochanteric fracture can be complex and propagate proximally into the greater trochanter or piriformis fossa. The subtrochanteric region consists of primarily cortical bone, and the healing of this region is significantly slower than the well vascularized metaphyseal bone of the intertrochanteric zone." }, { "docid": "D1230145#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/pubic-ramus-fracture\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Pubic Ramus Fracture", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Pubic Ramus Fracture Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Matthew Solhjem1 Could someone let me know what is a \"\" pubic ramus fracture ; left side?

Indications for operative treatment include the following: Failure to achieve or maintain acceptable reduction using closed techniques Open fractures Multiple hand fractures Complex injuries Displaced intra-articular fractures Fractures with severe soft-tissue loss requiring a stable skeleton No absolute contraindications exist for treatment of metacarpal injuries. Almost all injuries are amenable to either immobilization or closed or open reduction, with or without fixation. Bioresorbable implants are being used more frequently for fixation of fractures. Biomechanical testing of polyglycolic acid (PGA) and poly–L-lactic acid (PLLA) plates compare favorably in rigidity to titanium but are inferior in torsional testing. Self-reinforced PGA rods used in place of K-wires for intramedullary fixation have an initial bending stiffness of only 60% of stainless-steel wires. When subjected to saline bath, PGA rods lose stability within 4 weeks. New techniques and equipment may make these implants more cost-effective, and their use precludes the need for implant removal at a second operation. Further development of low-profile implants may allow more rigid fixation for certain problem fractures, thereby minimizing postoperative stiffness and perhaps diminishing the need for metal removal.

Share Email Print Feedback Approach Considerations All high-energy fractures must be immediately checked for soft-tissue integrity and impending compartment syndrome. The overall management can be one of the following: Antiedema measures - Joint aspiration, rest, immobilization, compression, elevation, and other antiedema measures are advocated in patients with high-energy fractures surrounded by evidence of compromised soft tissues (eg, skin blisters, edema); limbs with features suggestive of compartment syndrome should not be treated with antiedema measures Traction - This can be used as a temporary or definitive management modality; calcaneal traction can be continued during the traction mobilization treatment of selected plateau fractures without gross articular incongruity; traction is contraindicated in patients undergoing vascular repairs Debridement of open injuries - Open fractures must be addressed in accordance with universal guidelines; patients optimally undergo surgical debridement of open traumatic wounds within 8 hours of injury; aggressive debridement of open fracture wounds is performed, including removal of contaminating debris and any devitalized fascia, muscle, and bone Fasciotomy for impending compartment syndrome - Emergency treatment is required because a delay in treatment is directly correlated with further damage; if signs of compartment syndrome are present, four compartment fasciotomies are performed Spanning external fixator - Closed fractures undergo external fixator placement on the basis of patient stability and operating room availability, unless the patient has signs of compartment syndrome; patients undergoing debridement for open fractures and fasciotomy for compartment syndrome can be treated with a temporary external fixator until the soft-tissue condition improves Treatment of these fractures is governed by the vascularity (local tissue and distal), the condition of the soft tissues, and the presence or absence of compartment syndrome. Not all fractures of the tibial plateau require surgery. The first challenge in the management of upper tibial fractures is to decide between nonoperative and surgical treatment. Nonoperative Therapy In the past, long leg cast and traction mobilization were used for some fractures; however, the Sarmiento program of functional cast bracing is now preferred. Indications for nonoperative treatment are as follows: Nondisplaced stable split fractures Minimally displaced or depressed fractures Submeniscal rim fractures Fractures in elderly, low-demand, or osteoporotic patients Advantages of nonoperative treatment are as follows: Simple technique No surgical trauma or risk for sepsis Shorter hospital stay Early joint mobilization (only if functional cast brace is used) and delayed weight-bearing Disadvantages of nonoperative treatment are as follows: Risk of displacement and need for surgery (follow-up with imaging studies every 2 weeks for 6 weeks; activity restriction for 4-6 months)Prolonged immobilization and related complications - If traction is used, good motion is obtained at the cost of a lengthy hospital stay and the risk of pin-tract infection [ 13]; related complications of recumbency can include pulmonary embolism or phlebitis Joint stiffness (if immobilization >2-3 weeks)Instability and posttraumatic arthritis in the long term Surgical Therapy Fracture displacement ranging from 4-10 mm can be treated nonoperatively; however, a depressed fragment greater than 5 mm should be elevated and grafted. [ 14]The following are absolute indications for surgery: Open plateau fractures Fractures with an associated compartment syndrome Fractures associated with a vascular injury The following are relative indications for surgery: Most displaced bicondylar fractures Displaced medial condylar fractures Lateral plateau fractures that result in joint instability Contraindications for surgical treatment include the following: Presence of a compromised soft-tissue envelope (for immediate open reduction)Fractures that do not result in joint instability or deformity and can therefore be treated with nonoperative modalities Open or arthroscopic-assisted techniques are considered for fractures with displacement, depression of the condylar surfaces, or both. [ 15, 16, 17] Open surgical therapy can be immediate or staged. Internal fixation can be accomplished by means of the following: Biologic fixation - Screw fixation, minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis, least invasive stabilization system [ 18]Arthroscopic-assisted fixation Conventional double-plating External fixation can be accomplished with the following: Ilizarov fixator [ 19]Hybrid fixator Combination devices may also be employed.

County jail is usually freezing, prison is usually really hot. County jail is usually much more boring as there is no recreation or classes or exercise. Prison has a better, larger rec yard and there are vocational and educational classes and work is assigned. The prison I am in is a Texas State Jail, originally created to hold Class 4 felons on 2 year or less charges. However due to the massive overpopulation in the Texas Department of Corrections, many Texas State Jails now have a portion of their space allocated to 3rd degree or higher felons. The unit I am in is a new unit, and actually one of the few that have air conditioning. This is probably considered a plus by many, as most prisons are not air conditioned and also most cells or dorms do not have fans either. A few inmates can purchase fans in the commissary but this is considered a “special” purchase and many cells and dorms don’t have electrical outlets for them anyway. I personally don’t mind the heat too much so even though it’s nice to have, I could live without it." }, { "docid": "D3053440#0", "title": "http://www.prisontalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=682271\n.", "text": "\"# 1 09-19-2015, 03:16 AMsymcoco Registered User Join Date: Aug 2015Location: Sebastian County, Arkansas Posts: 6Thanks: 0Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post How much money does your loved one spend on commissary each week?

S. foreign and defense policy has reached a critical juncture. In an astonishingly brief period of time, the world—and America’s place in it—has changed dramatically. During this period, presidential elections, the financial crisis, and government shutdown politics largely supplanted overseas engagements and foreign affairs in the minds of the White House and Congress. The swearing-in of a new Congress and a new majority party in the Senate provides an important opportunity to reassess the objectives of U. S. foreign policy and to align other policy priorities accordingly. The U. S. defense budget is the first among the items to reconsider in the context of a changing international landscape. While foreign policy matters cannot simply be solved with more money for defense, little can be expected to change without it. Consecutive years of across-the-board budget cuts have significantly weakened the U. S. military. The military will likely need several years of reinvestment to return to a sound footing, and a higher defense budget for fiscal year (FY) 2016 would be an encouraging start. To that end, for FY 2016, Congress should increase the discretionary caps on defense instituted by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA). Specifically, Congress should allocate $584 billion to defense spending for FY 2016." }, { "docid": "D2438621#0", "title": "https://neuvoo.com/salary/Commissary-Assistant-salary\nCommissary Assistant salary in USA", "text": "Salary » Commissary Assistant Jobs » Commissary Assistant jobs in USACommissary Assistant salary in USAThe average salary for Commissary Assistant related jobs is $36,367 per year or $19 per hour.

Does this sound crazy to you? It sounds crazy to a lot of other people, too. But there are a couple of reasons why military families use food stamps. Alison’s husband is an E5 in the Army, and he makes about $3,100 a month in base pay, plus Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) of $1,152 per month and an Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) of $368 per month for his food needs. Altogether, that makes about $4620 income each month. However, their family has nine members, meaning that they qualify for SNAP benefits. Eligibility for SNAP benefits is based upon an involved formula that rests primarily on family income and family size, though there are other considerations such as child care costs, housing costs, and alimony payments.

Julie Menin, the city's Consumer Affairs Commissioner, said her office has also found ghost restaurants using unregistered names and false addresses.

The military spouse's continuing eligibility for commissary, exchange and health care benefits, as well as his or her eligibility for a portion of the servicemember's military retired pay are a large concern. The Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act (USFSPA) addresses these concerns. Former Spouse Eligibility to Retired Pay The USFSPA does not automatically entitle a former spouse to a portion of the member's retired pay. A former spouse must have been awarded a portion of a member's military retired pay as property in their final divorce order. The USFSPA provides a method of enforcing current and/or previously owed child support and current alimony awarded in the court order. For orders dividing retired pay as property to be enforced under the USFSPA, a member and former spouse must have been married to each other for 10 years or more during which the member performed at least 10 years of military service creditable towards retirement eligibility (the 10/10 rule). TRICARE, Commissary, and Exchange Privileges for Former Spouses The USFSPA also permits former spouses to continue receiving commissary, exchange, and health care benefits after a divorce in certain cases. In order to qualify for continued benefits a former spouse must show that the service member served at least 20 years of creditable service, that the marriage lasted at least 20 years and that the period of the marriage overlapped the period of service by at least 20 years. A former spouse who meets these requirements is known as a 20/20/20 former spouse and is entitled to full commissary, exchange and health care benefits." } ]

The term is used especially in the fields of anatomy and biology. In anatomy, commissure refers to a bundle of nerve fibers that cross the midline at their level of origin or entry. ⁕The most common usage of the term refers to the brain's commissures, of which there are five—the anterior commissure, posterior commissure, corpus callosum, hippocampal commissure, and habenular commissure—and which consist of fibre tracts that connect the two cerebral hemispheres and span the longitudinal fissure. In the spinal cord is found the anterior white commissure. ⁕Commissure may also refer to cardiac anatomy of heart valves.

Adequate laryngeal exposure is essential, but in some cases sufficient view of the glottis cannot be obtained, leading to treatment failure. This study reports how to manage vocal fold lesions in difficult laryngeal exposure (DLE) cases. Methods From 2003 to 2009, 212 patients underwent endolaryngeal microsurgery at Kyoto Medical Center and Kyoto University Hospital. Phonomicrosurgery was performed under sniffing (Boyce–Jackson) position with triangular shaped laryngoscope for laryngeal exposure. However, in DLE cases, the posture and laryngoscope were modified as needed to adequately expose the lesion. Fiberoptic laryngeal surgery (FLS) with local anesthesia was also used for the most difficult cases. Results The number of the patients with DLE was 14 (6.6%). Endolaryngeal microsurgery was possible in DLE cases by selecting the appropriate posture and laryngoscope. However, the procedure could not be completed in two patients with an anterior web and a vocal fold cyst, both of which required a subsequent revision procedure." }, { "docid": "D2416863#0", "title": "http://pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.1148/rg.317115083\nMasses and Malformations of the Third Ventricle: Normal Anatomic Relationships and Differential Diagnoses", "text": "Previous Article November-December 2011Volume 31, Issue 7Next Article Neurologic/Head and Neck Imaging Masses and Malformations of the Third Ventricle: Normal Anatomic Relationships and Differential Diagnoses Author List Christine M.

Describe the normal anatomic landmarks of the third ventricle and key anatomic relationships that are important for imaging evaluation of intracranial lesions.•. Discuss creation of differential diagnoses for third ventricle masses on the basis of their location with respect to the ventricle contours.•. Identify intraventricular masses of the third ventricle. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext Lesions of the third ventricle can have a variety of clinical manifestations. Masses related to the anterior recesses or floor of the third ventricle may manifest as dysfunction of the hypothalamic–pituitary gland axis. Masses of the posterior wall of the third ventricle, foramen of Monro masses, and intraventricular masses often manifest as hydrocephalus and headaches. Some congenital cysts or acquired abnormalities, such as cavum veli interpositi cyst and ectatic basilar artery, respectively, may be incidental imaging findings but distort the normal anatomy of the third ventricle or mimic more serious disease. In this article, we present a practical review of congenital anomalies and acquired pathologic processes of the third ventricle, with a focus on those lesions that are unique to the third ventricle. Our primary focus is to help radiologists differentiate the vast array of potential pathologic processes and to clarify key findings that are important for the surgical approach to third ventricle lesions. To this end, it is important to first have a clear understanding of the normal anatomic landmarks of the third ventricle and the key anatomic relationships." }, { "docid": "D3289894#0", "title": "https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/fornix\nfornix", "text": "Correct all you're your grammar errors instantly.

Share Email Print Feedback Overview The normal human heart contains 4 valves that regulate blood flow into and out of the heart. The aortic and pulmonic valves are known as the semilunar valves, whereas the tricuspid and mitral valves are referred to as the atrioventricular valves. All the valves are trileaflet, with the exception of the mitral valve, which has 2 leaflets. Cardiac valves are surrounded by fibrous tissue forming partial or complete valvular rings, or annuli. These annuli join the fibrous skeleton of the heart to anchor and support the valvular structures. The aortic valve is located between the left ventricular outflow tract and the ascending aorta. The aortic valve is the cardiac centerpiece. Relative to the aorta, the mitral valve is located posterior and to the left, the tricuspid valve is located inferiorly and to the right, and both valves abut on the posteroinferior margins of the aortic root, albeit with the atrioventricular separating structures interposing between the root and the tricuspid valve.

Print Overview Laryngeal cancer is the most common cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract. The incidence of laryngeal tumors is closely correlated with smoking, as head and neck tumors occur 6 times more often among cigarette smokers than among nonsmokers. The age-standardized risk of mortality from laryngeal cancer appears to have a linear relationship with increasing cigarette consumption. Death from laryngeal cancer is 20 times more likely for the heaviest smokers than for nonsmokers. Furthermore, active smoking by patients with head and neck cancer is associated with significant increases in the annual rate of second primary tumor development compared to former smokers or nonsmokers. The use of unfiltered cigarettes or dark, air-cured tobacco is associated with further increases in risk. Although alcohol is a less potent carcinogen than tobacco, alcohol consumption is a risk factor for laryngeal tumors. In individuals who use both tobacco and alcohol, these risk factors appear to be synergistic, and they result in a multiplicative increase in the risk of developing laryngeal cancer.

Menstuff® has compiled the following information on the Corpus Callosum, the massive formation of nerve fibers bridging the two cerebral hemispheres. Most (but certainly not all) communication between regions in different halves of the brain are carried over the corpus callosum. Sexual dimorphism In humans, disputed claims have been made about the importance for gender difference of a difference in size between the corpus callosum in males and females, and analogous racial claims. RB Bean, a Philadelphia anatomist, suggested in 1906 that the ‘‘exceptional size of the corpus callosum may mean exceptional intellectual activity” and claimed gender differences which were refuted by Franklin Mall, the director of his own laboratory (Bishop and Wahlsten, 1997). Of much more substantial popular impact was a 1982 Science article (de Lacoste-Utamsing and Holloway) claiming to be the first report of a reliable sex difference in human brain morphology and arguing for relevance to cognitive gender differences. This paper appears to be the source of a large number of lay explanations of perceived male-female difference in behaviour: for example Newsweek stated in 1992 that the corpus callosum was ‘‘Often wider in the brains of women than in those of men, it may allow for greater cross talk between the hemispheres—possibly the basis for woman’s intuition”. It has also been used, for example, as the explanation of an increased single-task orientation of male, relative to female, learners; a smaller male organ is said to make it harder for the left and right sides of the brain to work together and to explain a feminine ability to multitask. The relationship between known gender-specific biology (such as males having, in general, higher testosterone levels than females) and claims about behaviour (such as human males being more competitive) remains a highly contested one. Unusually, the scientific dispute in the case of the corpus callosum is not about the implications of biological difference, but whether such a difference actually exists." }, { "docid": "D2969521#0", "title": "http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Fornix\nFornix", "text": "Brain: Fornix Diagram of the fornix Scheme of rhinencephalon.

See attached sketches. Thank you!Attachments Hide Photos (1)Take Action Original Post Good Engr Gold Member2/18/09 11:24 AMThe common path of egress travel is a concept used to refine travel distance criteria. Similar to dead ends in corridors and passageways, a common path of travel is the course an occupant will travel and, regardless of which route is chosen, he or she must pass through the same location. The length of a common path of egress travel is limited so that the route to a remote means of egress begins to diverge before the occupant has traveled an excessive distance. This reduces the possibility that, although the exits are remote from ne another, a single fire condition will render both paths unavailable. Here is a sketch that should be helpful...

( 355.96 k B)In our day-to-day lives, most of us never notice how code requirements are implemented in public buildings. The value of codes is quickly realized, however, when a calamity such as a power outage, a fire, or an armed robbery occurs and causes panic. The number of people, the size of the building, the combustibility of the construction, the illumination and signage of the exits, and the ease of travel all suddenly matter. Public buildings and their decks are regulated by the International Building Code (IBC) rather than the more familiar International Residential Code (IRC). This article covers some of the provisions that limit commercial deck design, but it obviously can’t explain all the requirements of the IBC. If you primarily build residential decks, it’s a good idea to employ a registered design professional when doing commercial work, whether or not it’s required by your local building department. The code can be baffling; plus, you probably don’t want to own the liability for a design failure of, say, a deck on a popular restaurant. Means of Egress A priority in commercial deck design is making sure people can exit a building, particularly in an emergency. Chapter 10 of the 2006 IBC defines “means of egress” as “a continuous and unobstructed path of vertical and horizontal egress travel from any occupied portion of a building or structure to a public way." }, { "docid": "D777915#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clos_network\nClos network", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In the field of telecommunications, a Clos network is a kind of multistage circuit switching network, first formalized by Charles Clos in 1952, [1] which represents a theoretical idealization of practical multistage switching systems. Multistage networks are required when switching needs to scale beyond the capacity of the largest feasible single crossbar switch. The key advantage of Clos networks is that the number of crosspoints required (which compose each crossbar switch) can be far fewer than would be the case if the entire switching system were implemented with one large crossbar switch. When the Clos network was first devised, the number of crosspoints was a reasonable approximate indication of the total cost of the switching system. While this was important for electromechanical crossbars, it became less relevant with the advent of VLSI, wherein the interconnects could be implemented either directly in silicon, or within a relatively small cluster of boards. However, the advent of complex data centers, with huge interconnect structures, each based on optical fiber links, means they are again important. [ 2]Clos networks have three stages: the ingress stage, the middle stage, and the egress stage. Each stage is made up of a number of crossbar switches (see diagram below), often just called crossbars. Each call entering an ingress crossbar switch can be routed through any of the available middle stage crossbar switches, to the relevant egress crossbar switch. A middle stage crossbar is available for a particular new call if both the link connecting the ingress switch to the middle stage switch, and the link connecting the middle stage switch to the egress switch, are free." }, { "docid": "D1246136#0", "title": "http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Initiation_(phonetics)\nInitiation (phonetics)", "text": "\"in: Phonetics Initiation (phonetics)Edit Share Assessment \| Biopsychology \| Comparative \| Cognitive \| Developmental \| Language \| Individual differences \| Personality \| Philosophy \| Social \| Methods \| Statistics \| Clinical \| Educational \| Industrial \| Professional items \| World psychology \|Language: Linguistics · Semiotics · Speech In phonetics, initiation is the action by which an air-flow is created through the vocal tract. Along with articulation, it is one of the two mandatory aspects of sound production: without initiation, there is no sound. The means of initiating a phone is called its airstream mechanism . Initiation may be divided into pressure and suction. In the former, the organ performing the initiation—called the initiator —builds up pressure within the vocal tract, creating an outward airflow. In the latter, the initiator reduces pressure within the vocal tract, creating an inward airflow. Phones pronounced with pressure initiation are called egressive, and those pronounced with suction initiation are called ingressive. There are three initiators in spoken human languages, the lungs/diaphragm, the glottis, and the tongue, for six possible airstream mechanisms. Four of these are found in 'normal' words around the world:pulmonic egressive, where the air is pushed out of the lungs by the ribs and diaphragm; all human languages employ such sounds (such as vowels), and many, such as English, use them exclusively.glottalic egressive, where the air column is pushed upward by the glottis.

In destination-based routing, a router will prefer a route in the routing table that has the longest prefix length match. So, if you want to route to destination network 10.10.10.0/24 and you have a route to 10.10.0.0/16 and another to 10.10.10.0/24, the /24 will win, regardless of what the routing protocol is at the source of this information. If the router has 2 comparable routes (by comparable, I mean 2 routes with the same prefix length), the routing protocol with the lower administrative distance will win. And, just to finish the thought, although this part doesnt pertain to your question, if the router has 2 comparable routes from the same routing protocol, it will use the one with the better metric -- lower cost, fewer hops, etc. So, in your case, your RIP route loses on both counts: prefix length and administrative distance." }, { "docid": "D2947593#0", "title": "http://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/5645/do-i-need-an-egress-bedroom-window-if-i-have-a-walk-out-exterior-door\nDo I need an egress bedroom window if I have a walk-out exterior door?", "text": "\"_Home Improvement Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for contractors and serious DIYers.

At low transmission rates data can also be transferred via an electrical interface. The method was developed to replace the plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH) system for transporting large amounts of telephone calls and data traffic over the same fiber without synchronization problems. SONET and SDH, which are essentially the same, were originally designed to transport circuit mode communications (e.g., DS1, DS3) from a variety of different sources, but they were primarily designed to support real-time, uncompressed, circuit-switched voice encoded in PCM format. [ 1] The primary difficulty in doing this prior to SONET/SDH was that the synchronization sources of these various circuits were different. This meant that each circuit was actually operating at a slightly different rate and with different phase. SONET/SDH allowed for the simultaneous transport of many different circuits of differing origin within a single framing protocol." } ]

[ 6] The symbol of this free association is Queen Elizabeth II who is the Head of the Commonwealth, and while there are over 31 republics and five monarchies who have a different monarch, the Queen is head of state and reigning monarch of 16 members of the Commonwealth, known as Commonwealth realms. The position of The Crown remains legally distinct from the position of monarch and the position of the Head of the Commonwealth. The Queen has since ceased to be the head of state or have any formal position in several nations of the Commonwealth including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore.

Without further explanation, the following table from Wikipedia ( States and territories of Australia) is reasonably simple to understand: States As per section 6 of the Australian Constitution:\"\"The States\"\" shall mean such of the colonies of New South Wales, New Zealand, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia, including the northern territory of South Australia, as for the time being are parts of the Commonwealth, and such colonies or territories as may be admitted into or established by the Commonwealth as States; and each of such parts of the Commonwealth shall be called \"\"a State\"\". All states have a Governor and Premier. All states have a lower house of parliament, called a Legislative Assembly (or House of Assembly in Tasmania and South Australia). With the exception of Queensland (who abolished theirs in 1922), the states also have a Legislative Council, the upper house of the state parliament. The Governor of a state appoints the Premier, who is almost always the leader of the party of coalition with the majority in the lower house of parliament. In times of political or constitutional crisis, it is possible however for the Governor to appoint any member of the lower house as premier.

[ 1]In the case of its broad associative definition, government normally consists of legislature, executive, and judiciary. Government is a means by which state policies are enforced, as well as a mechanism for determining the policy. Each government has a kind of constitution, a statement of its governing principles and philosophy. Typically the philosophy chosen is some balance between the principle of individual freedom and the idea of absolute state authority ( tyranny ). While all types of organizations have governance, the word government is often used more specifically to refer to the approximately 200 independent national governments on Earth, as well as subsidiary organizations. [ 2]Historically prevalent forms of government include aristocracy, timocracy, oligarchy, democracy, theocracy and tyranny. The main aspect of any philosophy of government is how political power is obtained, with the two main forms being electoral contest and hereditary succession.

Treaties, the Constitution and the National Interest Negotiating and implementing Treaties What is a Treaty? A treaty is an agreement between States (countries) which is binding at international law. In some cases international organisations can be parties to treaties. An agreement between an Australian State or Territory and a foreign Government will not, therefore, be a treaty. Even if a document is agreed between two or more sovereign countries, it will not be a treaty unless those countries intend the document to be binding at international law. A treaty may also be called a ‘treaty', ‘convention', ‘protocol', ‘covenant' or ‘exchange of letters'Treaties can be bilateral - between Australia and one other country. An aviation agreement between Australia and the United States is one example. Multilateral treaties are those between three or more countries: an example is the United Nations Charter. Multilateral treaties are generally developed under the auspices of international (inter-governmental) organisations such as the United Nations or the International Labour Organisation, but regional multilateral treaties (like the Convention for the Protection of the Natural Resources and Environment of the South Pacific Region ‘SPREP') are of growing importance for Australia." }, { "docid": "D289339#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Australia\nFlag of Australia", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Australia Use National flag and state ensign Proportion 1:2Adopted 11 February 1903 [1]in use from 3 September 1901 23 February 1908 (current seven-pointed Commonwealth Star version)Design A Blue Ensign defaced with the Commonwealth Star (also known as the Federation Star) in the lower hoist quarter and the five stars of the Southern Cross in the fly half.

This imperial supremacy could be exercised through several statutory measures. In the first place, the Constitution Act of 1867 provides in s.55 that the Governor General may reserve any legislation passed by the two Houses of Parliament for \"\"the signification of Her Majesty's pleasure\"\", which is determined according to s.57 by the (British) Queen in Council. Secondly, s.56 provides that the Governor General must forward to \"\"one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretary's of State\"\" in London a copy of any federal legislation that has been assented to; within two years after the receipt of this copy, the (British) Queen in Council can disallow an Act. Thirdly, four pieces of Imperial legislation constrained the Canadian legislatures. The Colonial Laws Validity Act of 1865 provided that no colonial law could validly conflict with, amend or repeal Imperial legislation which explicitly or by necessary implication applied directly to that colony; the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894 as well as the Colonial Courts of Admiralty Act, 1890 required reservation of Dominion legislation on those topics for approval by the British Government; and, the Colonial Stock Act of 1900 provided for the disallowance of Dominion legislation which the British government felt would harm British stockholders of Dominion trustee securities. Most importantly, however, the British Parliament could exercise the legal right of supremacy it possessed at common law to pass any legislation on any matter affecting the colonies. The Disallowance and Reservation of Federal Legislation It is a curious anomaly of the Canadian Constitution that the Imperial powers of reservation and disallowance still exist in legal form; neither have ever been repealed or amended. Had these powers been used as widely as were those in relation to provincial legislation, the Imperial imprint would have been felt very firmly in Canada.

The laws were passed by the Federalist Party and were directed, in part, at a group of Republican journalists and writers, many of French, Irish and British extraction, including James Callender, Benjamin Franklin Bache, Joseph Priestly, William Duane, Matthew Lyon, Thomas Cooper, etc. The Naturalization Act raised from five to fourteen the number of years of United States residence required for naturalization. This law was repealed in 1802 (the others were just allowed to expire, although the Alien Enemies Act remained in effect, but no one had been prosecuted under its provisions because the United States hadn't officially declared war on France). The Alien and the Alien Enemies Acts gave the President the power to imprison or deport aliens suspected of activities posing a threat to the national government. About 25 individuals were arrested under the Sedition Act and ten were eventually convicted. Benjamin Franklin Bache, grandson of founder Benjamin Franklin and editor of the Aurora, was charged with \"\"libeling the President and the Executive Government in a manner tending to excite sedition and opposition to the laws.\"\" In April 1798, for instance, Bache had referred to the president as \"\"old, querulous, Bald, blind, crippled, Toothless Adams.\"\" Bache's arrest led to a public outcry against all of the Alien and Sedition Acts and contributed to the election in 1800 of Republican Thomas Jefferson." }, { "docid": "D2205753#0", "title": "http://vincenzeslaw.com/vasap-violations-non-compliance-faqs/\nVASAP â Violations and Non-Compliance FAQ", "text": "VASAP – Violations and Non-Compliance FAQVASAPASAP – or, “ VASAP ,” – stands for “Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program. “ It is both hated and revered…depending on who you are asking.

If convicted of DWI in Virginia, one of the many consequences is the successful completion of an alcohol safety action program (ASAP). In the vast majority of DWI convictions, successful completion of the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program is required in order to avoid serving suspended jail time.

Suspended Time: does not result in time in jail unless the court’s orders are violated.

Analyses of seventeen placebo-controlled trials (modal duration of 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drugtreated patients was about 4.5%, com- pared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (e.g., heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (e.g., pneumonia) in nature. Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to which the findings of increased mortality in observational studies may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug as opposed to some characteristic (s ) of the patients is not clear.

It's also marketed under the brand names Compro and Procomp, and is used for controlling severe nausea and vomiting. Prochlorperazine may also be used to treat schizophrenia. It's not a cure for the condition, but may help manage the symptoms. It works by controlling abnormal excitement in the brain. Prochlorperazine is also used to treat generalized anxiety that is non-psychotic, but experts say that for most patients it should not be the first treatment due to the risks associated with its use. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved prochlorperazine as Compazine in 1999. Glaxo Smith Kline made Compazine, but it is no longer on the market. Now, the medicine is made in generic form by several companies as both an oral tablet and a suppository.

Specific Examples of Patients with Drug-Induced Diseases Summary of Adverse Reactions and the Drugs that Cause Them How Extensive Is the Problem of Specific Adverse Drug Reactions? Each year, more than 9.6 million adverse drug reactions occur in older Americans. One study found that 37 percent of adverse reactions in the elderly were not reported to the doctor, presumably because patients did not realize the reactions were due to the drug. This is not too surprising considering that most doctors admitted they did not explain possible adverse effects to their patients. 1We based the following national estimates on well-conducted studies, mainly in the United States: Each year, in hospitals alone, there are 28,000 cases of life-threatening heart toxicity from adverse reactions to digoxin, the most commonly used form of digitalis (drugs that regulate the speed and strength of heart beats) in older adults. 2 Since as many as 40% or more of these people are using this drug unnecessarily (see discussion on digoxin ), many of these injuries are preventable. Each year 41,000 older adults are hospitalized—and 3,300 of these die—from ulcers caused by NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, usually for treatment of arthritis). 3 Thousands of younger adults are hospitalized.

In the meantime, infuse 0.9% Na Cl or Ringer's lactate solution intravenously and observe the patient, doing repeated vital sign checks and physical examination. In younger patients, who have the renal and cardiovascular reserve to handle rapid hydration, 1-2 liters infused over an hour often provides dramatic improvement in all symptoms.

It sounds like you are running Debian 'Squeeze' (not Linux squeeze). If you are trying to build your own kernel and you are adding stuff to the kernel not normally in Debian Squeeze, then yes you probably will need to compile a new kernel. But I doubt you are getting that into Linux right away (I could be wrong, but that's a HUGE step). Now if you are using apt-get then and it says you might want to compile it, then that may happen. Then you will more than likely need to obtain the source code for the package. Then if the developer is nice they included a configuration file and a makefile. Usually you follow these steps after you have navigated to the directory in the terminal ./config make sudo make install That is the way that probably 90% of Linux source code packages are compiled today." } ]	[ { "docid": "D1678615#0", "title": "https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1gs93k/rust_for_game_development/\n.", "text": "\"all 33 commentssorted by: best Want to add to the discussion?

This document explains when you'd want to create your own directives in your Angular JS app, and how to implement them. What are Directives? At a high level, directives are markers on a DOM element (such as an attribute, element name, comment or CSS class) that tell Angular JS's HTML compiler ( $compile ) to attach a specified behavior to that DOM element (e.g. via event listeners), or even to transform the DOM element and its children. Angular JS comes with a set of these directives built-in, like ng Bind, ng Model, and ng Class .

In this article, I will only try to brief you about how to boot a floppy image by writing your own code and inject into the boot sector of a device (a boot loader program). During this process, I will break down the article into various sections. It felt hard to explain about computers, bootable devices, and how to write code in a single article so I have tried to do my best to explain the most common aspects of learning about computers and what is meant by booting. I tried to generalize the meaning and importance of each stage so that it may be easy to understand and remember too. In case you require more detailed explanation, you can browse through many articles provided on the internet. What is the scope of the article? I will limit the scope of the article to how to write program code and how to copy it to the boot sector of a floppy disk image, and then how to test the floppy disk if it boots with your program code or not, using an x86 emulator like bochs on Linux. What I have not explained in the article I have not explained why a boot loader cannot be written in other languages like assembly and the drawbacks in terms of writing a boot loader in one language when compared to another. As this is an introductory learning article on how to write boot code I don't want to bother you much about more advanced topics like speed, writing smaller code, etc." }, { "docid": "D661552#0", "title": "https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/directive\nCreating Custom Directives", "text": "\"Improve this Doc Creating Custom Directives Contents Hide What are Directives?

If you're just getting started, we recommend the tutorial first. If you're looking for the directives API, you can find it in the $compile API docs . This document explains when you'd want to create your own directives in your Angular JS app, and how to implement them. What are Directives? At a high level, directives are markers on a DOM element (such as an attribute, element name, comment or CSS class) that tell Angular JS's HTML compiler ( $compile ) to attach a specified behavior to that DOM element (e.g. via event listeners), or even to transform the DOM element and its children. Angular JS comes with a set of these directives built-in, like ng Bind, ng Model, and ng Class . Much like you create controllers and services, you can create your own directives for Angular JS to use. When Angular JS bootstraps your application, the HTML compiler traverses the DOM matching directives against the DOM elements." }, { "docid": "D2325548#0", "title": "http://www.net-informations.com/faq/oops/binding.htm\nEarly Binding and Late binding", "text": "Early Binding and Late binding The compiler performs a process called binding when an object is assigned to an object variable.

Early binding objects are basically a strong type objects or static type objects. While Early Binding, methods, functions and properties which are detected and checked during compile time and perform other optimizations before an application executes. The biggest advantage of using early binding is for performance and ease of development. Ex: Above code, create a variable FS to hold a new object and then assign a new object to the variable. Here type is known before the variable is exercised during run-time, usually through declarative means. The File Stream is a specific object type, the instance assigned to FS is early bound.

Well, before we get into the philosophy of why we decided to add it this time (which we will! I promise! ), first lets discuss the feature itself.

Default parameter values We've all had the experience of writing (or at least using) methods whose parameters are optional in nature.

The programs you run typically run with the support of the operating system, although an operating system could be written in C++ itself (although in practice, operating systems are usually written in plain C). C++ is compiled to machine byte-code, which can be run directly by the CPU hardware. The difference between an operating system (the kernel) and the code you run as a user ( user-space programs) is that the user-space run programs run in a less-privileged mode. These modes are provided by the CPU, and in the less-privileged mode, the CPU won't let you do things like directly interface with disk or other components. To a file on access disk (for example), a user-space program has to make system calls to the kernel, which provides the abstraction of file descriptors for reading and writing. System calls are done through interrupts. The operating system also provides virtual address space to the user program, but to do this it has to use the hardware's support for virtual addressing (see memory management unit ). It can seem like a typical C++ program isn't \"\"running on the hardware directly\"\" because of all these abstractions the user program is run on top of. However, all these abstractions (privilege modes, interrupts, virtual addressing) are provided by the hardware - they have to be provided by hardware, because the user program is running directly on the CPU as machine code - although the kernel provides the heavy-lifting of configuring the hardware for the user program to use these abstractions.3.1k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private." }, { "docid": "D1064956#0", "title": "http://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2011/12/final-variable-method-class-java.html\nWhat is final in Java?

It means that during the execution of one instruction the same operation will occur on up to 16 data sets in parallel. It is also synonymous with the term vector processor. Since there is parallelism inside the Neon, you can get more MIPS or FLOPS out of Neon than you can a standard SISD processor running at the same clock rate.

But that's not a requirement of the language. It's just a convention, like using 'i' as a loop index. In general, using 'flag' as a variable name is considered a bad idea.

Before I answer that, I want to make sure that something is perfectly clear. The compiler’s “usage” string is not lying when it says:/debug [+\|-] Emit debugging information /optimize [+\|-] Enable optimizations Emitting debug information and optimizing the generated IL are orthogonal; they have no effect on each other at all (). The usual thing to do is to have debug on and optimizations off, or vice versa, but the other two combinations are perfectly legal. ( And while I’m at it, turning debug information generation on does not also do /d: DEBUG; that’s also orthogonal. Again, the sensible thing to do is to keep /debug and /d: DEBUG in sync, but you do not have to; you might want to debug the optimized version without assertions and we’re not going to stop you. ) From this point on, when I say “emitting” I mean “producing metadata”, and when I say “generating” I mean “producing IL”. So, first off, there are some optimizations that the compiler always performs, regardless of the optimize flag. The language semantics require us to do constant folding because we need to detect that this is an error:switch (x) { case 2: case 1+1: …The compiler will replace usages of constant fields with the constant, but does not perform any more sophisticated constant propagation, even though the compiler has a reachability analyzer." } ]

It’s also activated when the body makes antibodies against its own tissues that it views as foreign. This happens in autoimmune diseases. A complement test can monitor the progress of people undergoing treatment for autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Meningococcal disease is a bacterial infection caused by Neisseria meningitidis. Meningococcal disease usually presents clinically as meningitis (about 50% of cases), bacteremia (38% of cases), or bacteremic pneumonia (9% of cases). N. meningitidis colonizes mucosal surfaces of the nasopharynx and is transmitted through direct contact with large-droplet respiratory tract secretions from patients or asymptomatic carriers. Meningococcal disease can be severe. The overall case-fatality ratio is 10%–15%, and 20% of survivors have long-term sequelae such as neurologic disability, limb or digit loss, and hearing loss. N. meningitidis is classified into at least 13 serogroups based on characteristics of the polysaccharide capsule. Most invasive disease (such as meningitis and sepsis) is caused by serogroups A, B, C, W, and Y. The relative importance of serogroups depends on geographic location and other factors such as age. Serogroups B, C, and Y are the most frequent causes of disease in the U. S., each accounting for about one third of reported cases. Serogroup A is common in Sub-Saharan Africa but is rare in the U. S. Nasopharyngeal carriage rates are highest in adolescents and young adults who serve as reservoirs for transmission of N. meningitidis." }, { "docid": "D499459#0", "title": "http://www.vararam.com/ramairinaroadcar.html\n.", "text": "\"The reality of ram air is that it does work, and is an effective tool for any engine builder or tuner to use to achieve their performance goals. We will cover many areas of ram air system design and function in this discussion but first let's hear what Harold Battes, President of Super Flow Corporation (this is the company that makes flow benches and dynamometers) and one of the foremost fluid dynamics engineers in the US has to say about it. Ram air is an attempt to put the induction losses back into the manifold during the cylinder firing process by pre-packing the manifold with air. This will lead to much higher air flow rates in your cylinder heads at lower lift values and will maintain proper manifold pressures and port velocities at higher Rpm during WOT operation under actual road loads above 50 Mph. This allows you 100%, or in the case of the VR-1B, over 100% intake efficiency at only 70-75 Mph depending on the car in question. The VR unit will build and maintain 100% efficiency at only 50-55 Mph. This makes for a much quicker, faster car at speeds that are more usable. Other intakes are struggling to make pressure at this level and require much greater road speed to build pressure if at all. A properly designed ram air system will increase an intake's CFM, make pressure or even create positive boost. That is boost above 1 atmosphere or 14.696 PSI (this is considered the maximum pressure that most factory atmospheric engines can generate in the manifold without some form of forced induction or unless the motor has been modified; head work, performance cam etc." }, { "docid": "D2293124#0", "title": "https://www.scribd.com/doc/311084948/c7\nChapter 7: Innate Immunity: Inflammation", "text": "Chapter 7: Innate Immunity: Inflammation MULTIPLE CHOICE 1.

D., M. D. W. M. Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJWhen people are injured, they are often told that they have an injury at a given spinal cord level and are given a qualifier indicating the severity of injury, i.e. “complete” or “incomplete”. They may also be told that they are classified according to the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Classification, as a ASIA A, B, C, or D. They may also be told that they have a bony fracture or involvement of one or more spinal segments or vertebral levels. What most people do not know is doctors are frequently confused about the definition of spinal cord injury levels, the definition of complete and incomplete injury, and the classification of spinal cord injury. In the early 1990's, when I co-chaired the committee that helped define the currently accepted ASIA Classification, there was no single definition of level, completeness of injury, or classification. In this article, I will briefly address the issue of spinal cord injury levels, the definition of “complete” spinal cord injury, and the ASIA Classification approach towards spinal cord injury. Vertebral vs. Cord Segmental Levels The spinal cord is situated within the spine. The spine consists of a series of vertebral segments. The spinal cord itself has “neurological” segmental levels which are defined by the spinal roots that enter and exist the spinal column between each of the vertebral segments. As shown in the figure the spinal cord segmental levels do not necessarily correspond to the bony segments." }, { "docid": "D211699#0", "title": "http://www.diyford.com/assemble-ford-c4-transmissions-cruise-o-matic-select-shift/\nHow to Assemble Ford C4 Transmissions: Cruise-O-Matic / Select Shift", "text": "How to Assemble Ford C4 Transmissions: Cruise-O-Matic / Select Shift Ford’s C4 Cruise-O-Matic and Select-Shift 3-speed automatic transmission is a light-duty unit intended for six-cylinder and small-block V-8 engines.

An interesting footnote is the C4’s status as the first automatic transmission ever designed and actually produced by Ford Motor Company. It is one of the easiest automatic transmissions to rebuild and modify because it is so simple and there are a lot of seasoned racers and builders who know a lot about this transmission and how to get it to perform. Like GM’s Powerglide and Turbo- Hydramatic 350, and Chrysler’s 904 Torqueflite, Ford’s C4 is a simple light-duty transmission you can knock down and rebuild in your home workshop.

In contrast to the other two pathways the AP is not triggered by antibodies or specific structures on the microorganisms. The Illustration shows the Alternative pathway. Additional information can be found if you place the cursor on the different parts of the illustration. Instead this pathway is activated by the spontaneous hydrolysis of C3, which is abundant in the blood plasma to form C3 (H2O). The hydrolysis changes the structure of C3 and increases its reactivity allowing for the binding of the serine protease Factor B, which in turn is cleaved by the serine protease Factor D to form Ba and Bb, respectively. Ba is released into solution but Bb forms a complex, C3 (H2O)Bb, which is the initial C3 convertase of the AP which can produce reactive C3b. This C3b binds with Factor B and Factor D forming C3 convertase C3b Bb. The C3b Bb is a proteolytic complex that initiates the amplification process by formation of more C3b molecules, building further C3b Bb convertases, resulting in the surface deposition of C3b molecules. The reactivity of the surface attached C3b is extremely short-lived which restricts AP activation to be a local event." }, { "docid": "D3049438#0", "title": "http://medicalanddentalfacts.blogspot.com/2008/04/pathogenesis-physiology-of-acute.html\nPATHOGENESIS & PHYSIOLOGY OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION", "text": "\"PATHOGENESIS & PHYSIOLOGY OF ACUTE INFLAMMATIONInflammation is the reaction of the vascular and supporting elements to injury, and results in the formation of protein rich exudates, provided there has not been so severe as to destroy the area.

By adding only two genes, a plant phytoene synthase (psy) and a bacterial phytoene desaturase (crt I), the pathway is turned back on and β-carotene consequently accumulates in the grain. Fig 1: Pathway overview: carotenoid biosynthesis begins with a small (C5) compound, isopentenyl-diphosphate (IPP) and its isomer dimethylally-diphosphate (DMAPP). Chain elongation by C5 units leads to the formation of the C20-compound geranylgeranyl-diphosphate (GGPP). GGPP is a precursor that can enter several biosynthetic routes, as indicated. The head-to-head condensation of two GGPP molecules produces the first,colourless carotene, phytoene. A series of desaturation reactions lead to the coloured chromophore of lycopene, and subsequent cyclization reactions produce the β- and ε-ionone rings. Oxygenation (hydroxylation, epoxidation) reactions lead then to xanthophylls. Several known pathways branch off at this point, forming biologically important molecules, such as abscisic acid and strigolactones Carotenoids and their derivatives include a vast number of molecules and accordingly a great number of enzymes and cofactors.

These findings suggest that the complement inhibitor eculizumab could be a therapeutic option for this severe HSCT complication with high mortality. However, the efficacy of eculizumab in children with HSCT-TMA and its dosing requirements are not known. We treated 6 children with severe HSCT-TMA using eculizumab and adjusted the dose to achieve a therapeutic level >99 μg/m L. HSCT-TMA resolved over time in 4 of 6 children after achieving therapeutic eculizumab levels and complete complement blockade, as measured by low total hemolytic complement activity (CH50). To achieve therapeutic drug levels and a clinical response, children with HSCT-TMA required higher doses or more frequent eculizumab infusions than currently recommended for children with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. Two critically ill patients failed to reach therapeutic eculizumab levels, even after dose escalation, and subsequently died. Our data indicate that eculizumab may be a therapeutic option for HSCT-TMA, but HSCT patients appear to require higher medication dosing than recommended for other conditions. We also observed that a CH50 level ≤ 4 complement activity enzyme units correlated with therapeutic eculizumab levels and clinical response, and therefore CH50 may be useful to guide eculizumab dosing in HSCT patients as drug level monitoring is not readily available.

HSCT-TMA shares features with other TMAs where endothelial injury affects the kidney and other organs. Mild HSCT-TMA may have a benign course that requires no therapy or only modification of calcineurin inhibitor dosing [4,5]. However, a proportion of cases develop a systemic vascular injury that manifests as kidney damage, serositis, pulmonary hypertension, and multisystem organ failure [6-9]. In the most severe form of HSCT-TMA, mortality rates approach 90%, whereas milder cases have an increased risk of chronic kidney disease [3,8,10]. Targeted therapy is urgently needed for patients with severe HSCT-TMA in whom mortality is the highest." } ]

The foot and ankle dorsiflexors include the tibialis anterior, the extensor hallucis longus (EHL), and the extensor digitorum longus (EDL). These muscles help the body clear the foot during swing phase and control plantarflexion of the foot on heel strike. Weakness in this group of muscles results in an equinovarus deformity. This is sometimes referred to as steppage gait, because the patient tends to walk with an exaggerated flexion of the hip and knee to prevent the toes from catching on the ground during swing phase. During gait, the force of heel strike exceeds body weight, and the direction of the ground reaction vector passes behind the ankle and knee center (see the image below). Diagram of ground reaction vector during heel strike. View Media Gallery This causes the foot to plantarflex and, if uncontrolled, to slap the ground. Ordinarily, eccentric lengthening of the tibialis anterior, which controls plantar flexion, absorbs the shock of heel strike." }, { "docid": "D2374165#0", "title": "https://www.imaios.com/en/e-Anatomy/Thorax-Abdomen-Pelvis/Visible-Human-Project\nVisible Human Project: anatomy atlas of male cadaver", "text": "\"e-Anatomy Authors Antoine Micheau , Denis Hoa Published on Friday 22 December 2017Section Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis Anatomical parts Abdomen Abdominal aorta Abducent nerve;

It is located on the surface of the posterior pelvic wall, anterior to the piriformis muscle. The plexus is formed by the anterior rami (divisions) of the sacral spinal nerves S1, S2, S3 and S4. It also receives contributions from the lumbar spinal nerves L4 and L5. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the sacral plexus – its formation and major branches. Spinal Nerves The spinal nerves S1 – S4 form the basis of the sacral plexus. At each vertebral level, paired spinal nerves leave the spinal cord via the intervertebral foramina of the vertebral column. Each nerve then divides into anterior and posterior nerve fibres. The sacral plexus begins as the anterior fibres of the spinal nerves S1, S2, S3, and S4.

There are over 600 skeletal muscles within the typical human body.

Nevertheless, the exact number is difficult to define because different sources group muscles differently, e.g. regarding what is defined as different parts of a single muscle or as several muscles. The muscles of the human body can be categorized into a number of groups which include muscles relating to the head and neck, muscles of the torso or trunk, muscles of the upper limbs, and muscles of the lower limbs. The action refers to the action of each muscle from the standard anatomical position. In other positions, other actions may be performed. These muscles are described using anatomical terminology.

They connect bones to other bones, and are extremely important in stabilizing joints. The ligaments of the foot and ankle can be divided into groups including:1. Ligaments Stabilizing the Ankle Joint The anterior Talo-fibular ligament (outside or lateral ankle joint)The Calcaneo-fibular ligament (outside or lateral ankle joint)The posterior Talo-fibular ligament (outside or lateral ankle joint)The Deltoid ligament (inside or medial ankle joint)2. Ligaments of the Upper Ankle (Holding the tibia and fibula together)The Anterior Inferior Tibiofibular Ligament The Interosseous Ligament3. Ligaments of the Subtalar Joint The Cervical Ligament4.

Ligaments Stabilizing the Ankle Joint The Anterior Talo-Fibular Ligament The anterior talo-fibular ligament is often thought of as the \"\" ankle sprain ligament \"\", because it is the one that is most often damaged when the ankle is rolled. It runs down from the fibula and to the outer front portion of the ankle, in order to connect to the neck of the talus. This ligament functions to stabilize the ankle joint and keeps it from rotating inward too much, which is what happens in a common ankle sprain." }, { "docid": "D220729#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/splanchnic+nerve%2c+greater\nnerve", "text": "\"nerve (redirected from splanchnic nerve, greater) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia.

It courses through the popliteal fossa and ends at the lower border of the popliteus muscle, where it branches into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. The deepest (most anterior) structure in the fossa, the popliteal artery runs in close proximity to the joint capsule of the knee as it spans the intercondylar fossa. Five genicular branches of the popliteal artery supply the capsule and ligaments of the knee joint. The genicular arteries are the superior lateral, superior medial, middle, inferior lateral, and inferior medial genicular arteries. They participate in the formation of the periarticular genicular anastomosis, a network of vessels surrounding the knee that provides collateral circulation capable of maintaining blood supply to the leg during full knee flexion, which may kink the popliteal artery.

Here, the internal pudendal artery lies anterior to the sciatic nerve, the superior gluteal artery lies between the lumbosacral trunk and the S1 outflow, and the inferior gluteal artery lies between the S2 and S3 outflow.

[ 2] The ankle includes three joints: the ankle joint proper or talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the inferior tibiofibular joint. [ 3] [4] [5] The movements produced at this joint are dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the foot. In common usage, the term ankle refers exclusively to the ankle region. In medical terminology, \"\"ankle\"\" (without qualifiers) can refer broadly to the region or specifically to the talocrural joint. [ 1] [6]The main bones of the ankle region are the talus (in the foot), and the tibia and fibula (in the leg). The talocrural joint is a synovial hinge joint that connects the distal ends of the tibia and fibula in the lower limb with the proximal end of the talus. [ 7] The articulation between the tibia and the talus bears more weight than that between the smaller fibula and the talus.

There is an infinite number of composite numbers. A prime number on the other hand can only be divided by 1 and itself.

Gibson This article is written by Andrew S. Gibson, the author of Square. Today I’d like to draw your attention to an area of composition that you might not have given much thought to: aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is the term used to describe the dimensions of an image by comparing the width to the height and expressing it in ratio form. The aspect ratio of your images is primarily determined by the dimensions of your camera’s sensor (or the film type plus camera design with film cameras). As these physical aspects are fixed, it is easy to take the aspect ratio of your images for granted, and to not consider the implications of the aspect ratio you are using in relation to composition. Camera makers have realised that sometimes photographers like to work in different aspect ratios, and most recent digital cameras let you change the aspect ratio using the camera’s menu. You can also crop an image to a different aspect ratio in post-processing. Why aspect ratio matters Why does aspect ratio matter? It’s all to do with the relationship of the main subject to the sides of the frame, and the amount of empty space you end up with around the subject. An awareness of the characteristics of the aspect ratio of your particular camera can help you compose better images." }, { "docid": "D3509609#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/Heating-sugar-will-cause-it-to-break-down-into-carbon-and-water-vapour-what-is-the-name-of-this-chemical-change\nHeating sugar will cause it to break down into carbon and water vapour. what is the name of this chemical change?", "text": "\"Chemicals (commodities) Substance Abuse Properties of Water Chemistry of Everyday Life Water Science Chemistry Heating sugar will cause it to break down into carbon and water vapour. what is the name of this chemical change?ad by UC Berkeley Extension Prepare for grad school & health careers.

The TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) is administered by the educational company ATI testing. It is an entrance exam required by certain schools to gain admission into their nursing or dental hygiene programs. Although you cannot technically pass or fail the test, you must demonstrate proficiency by achieving a minimum score determined by your individual school program. The TEAS exam score is broken down several ways, from general to more specific. Your Adjusted Individual Score (sometimes also referred to as your composite score) is your “main score.” It is the combination of how well you did on all four sections of the TEAS, which are Reading, Math, Science, and English. You will also receive a “mean” score for each specific subsection of the test and scores for each of the specific tested concepts within each subsection. For example, you may see you scored a 75% on Paragraph Comprehension and an 85% on the Informational Source Comprehension portion of the Reading subsection, but that you received an overall Reading score of 80%.

Some may even have had one successful pregnancy and then experience multiple losses when trying for another.

The American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) considers that, “Recurrent pregnancy loss is a disease distinct from infertility, defined by two or more failed pregnancies. When the cause is unknown, each pregnancy loss merits careful review to determine whether specific evaluation may be appropriate. After three or more losses, a thorough evaluation is warranted. Although approximately 25% of all recognized pregnancies result in miscarriage, less than 5% of women will experience two consecutive miscarriages, and only 1% experience three or more.

The quad screen is used to evaluate whether your pregnancy has an increased chance of being affected with certain chromosomal conditions, such as Down syndrome. The alpha-fetoprotein part of the test can help evaluate the chance for neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, and abdominal wall defects, such as omphalocele. If your risk level is low, the quad screen can offer reassurance that there is a decreased chance for Down syndrome, trisomy 18, neural tube defects and abdominal wall defects.

Resources References What is Hemophilia? Hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder that results from reduced levels or lack of clotting factor VIII (FVIII; hemophilia A) or IX (FIX; hemophilia B). Normal blood clotting is a complex process that involves as many as 20 blood proteins called clotting factors. The shortage or absence of one of these factors, as happens in hemophilia, may disrupt the clotting process. Persons with hemophilia cannot form blood clots when needed to stop bleeding and therefore bleed longer than people without hemophilia, not faster. People with hemophilia experience abnormal bleeding – either after an injury or spontaneously-into their joints, muscles, and soft tissues. Bleeding into the joints and muscles is one of the distinctive signs of hemophilia. Minor cuts and scrapes are often not of great concern for people with hemophilia, but bleeding into the head, abdomen, kidneys, intestines, and major joints and muscle groups can be life- or limb-threatening." }, { "docid": "D3556423#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/abnormal-female-karyotype\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Abnormal Female Karyotype", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Abnormal Female Karyotype Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Sewa Legha1 doctor agreed:1 Had a bone marrow asp and biopsy.

Here’s something to freak out expectant parents: Over 2 percent of all American pregnancies are complicated by serious birth defects, and more than 0.5 percent of all fetuses have either a missing or an extra chromosome—a condition that leads to problems like Down or Edwards syndrome. Birth defects are a leading cause of infant mortality in the country, and most problems occur in pregnancies without any obvious risk factors. ( For example, most babies with Down syndrome are born to women under 35 years of age.) There are ways to screen fetuses for birth defects like these, but due to a lack of clear guidance from caregivers or policymakers, parents may not find out about them until it’s too late.

The NT scan measures the clear (translucent) space in the tissue at the back of your baby's neck. Babies with abnormalities tend to accumulate more fluid at the back of their neck during the first trimester, causing this clear space to be larger than average. The NT scan is not invasive.

Amniocentesis is called a prenatal diagnostic test because it can tell you, with as much certainty as possible, whether your baby has a genetic disorder. It analyzes the genes from fetal cells that are found in amniotic fluid. Prenatal screening tests, including blood tests and ultrasound, can only tell you if your baby has a higher risk of a disorder. If you have positive results on screening tests, your doctor may recommend having amniocentesis or CVS, the other type of diagnostic test, so that you can know for sure.

The term PGD, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, is often loosely used to refer to any testing performed on an embryo prior to it being transferred to the uterus.

PGD, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, involves removing a cell from an IVF embryo to test it for a specific genetic condition (cystic fibrosis, for example) before transferring the embryo to the uterus. PGS, preimplantation genetic screening, is the proper term for testing for overall chromosomal normalcy in embryos.

One of the smaller vertebrae in the thoracic spine, the T2 vertebra possesses facets that create joints with two of the ribs. Because the T2 vertebra and other vertebrae in the thoracic spine are attached to the rib cage, this section of the spine is more stable than the cervical (upper) spine in the neck or the lumbar (lower) spine. Function of the T2 vertebra The thoracic spine refers to the 12 vertebrae in the upper and middle back. These vertebrae grow in size as they move down the back and are all separated by elastic, flexible discs to stabilize the spine. Each of the thoracic vertebrae also has a large spinal foramen to allow the spinal cord to pass through and vertebral foramina for nerve roots to branch off into the body. The T2 vertebra is connected to the T1 and T3 with facet joints, which are covered with a lubricating liquid to allow for limited motion. Problems and treatment While the T2 vertebra is a stable segment of the spine, it is still prone to deterioration which can lead to nerve compression and potentially painful symptoms. Some common causes of T2 vertebra degeneration include: Bone spurs Herniated, bulging or prolapsed discs Facet disease Other forms of osteoarthritis Traumatic or sports-related injury If you are experiencing back pain or other symptoms of nerve compression like muscle weakness, numbness in your torso or traveling pain, contact your physician. In many cases, problems at the T2 vertebral level can be relieved with a conservative treatment course of strengthening exercises, pain medication and heat packs over several weeks or months." }, { "docid": "D3147844#0", "title": "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/vertebral+column\nvertebral column", "text": "\"vertebral column Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Financial, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

A unilateral or bilateral defect (lesion or fracture) of the pars interarticularis without displacement of the vertebra is known as Spondylolysis. The pars interarticularis is the posterior plate of bone that connects the superior and inferior articular facets of a vertebral body.

However, some people possess an additional lumbar vertebra located below the L5. This extra vertebra, known as the L6, is called a transitional vertebra. About 10 percent of adults have some form of spinal abnormality caused by genetics and a sixth lumbar vertebra is among the most common of these abnormalities. Read on to learn about spinal conditions that affect the L6 vertebra, along with treatments for the associated symptoms. Spinal conditions affecting the L6-S1More often than not, the existence of an L6 does not contribute directly to troublesome spinal conditions. In fact, this vertebra is subject to the same potentially debilitating conditions most people experience at the L5 level. Another difference is the way doctors refer to conditions associated with this transitional vertebra. Rather than speak of it in terms of the L5 to L6 level, it is generally referred to as the L6 to S1 level — denoting an association with the sacral region just below the lumbar vertebrae. Occasionally, the L6 vertebra can become sacralized, which means it is attached to the sacrum by a rudimentary joint that creates additional motion." }, { "docid": "D3308928#0", "title": "https://www.braceability.com/back-problems-injuries/fractured-vertebrae-in-your-spine\nFractured Spinal Vertebrae", "text": "Fractured Spinal Vertebrae What is a Spine Fracture?

The thoracic spine is located in the upper and middle back and is largely responsible for supporting the first and second rib on each side of the body and the posture of the upper body. This thoracic segment of the vertebra is the central largest section of the spinal column between the lower back and the neck. The T1 vertebra, like the rest of the thoracic vertebrae, is characterized by its stability and strength. The lack of flexibility within the thoracic spine makes spinal deterioration less common than at other vertebral levels, such as the cervical and lumbar spine. Read on to learn more about the function and treatment options for conditions at the T1 vertebra. T1 vertebra function The spine is made up of more than two dozen vertebrae, which are separated and cushioned by elastic and flexible discs. There are five segments of the spine: Cervical spine in the neck Thoracic spine in the middle back Lumbar spine in the lower back Sacral spine in the buttocks Coccyx in the tailbone Vertebrae provide flexion, extension and pivoting ability to the spine and support much of the body’s weight.

It has a number of potential causes, ranging from muscle strain to collapse of a vertebra or rare serious diseases. The upper spine is very strong and stable to support the weight of the upper body, as well as to anchor the rib cage which provides a cavity to allow the heart and lungs to function and protect them. In most cases, the pain is likely to be self-limiting; in that case no diagnostic tests are required, and simple pain relief is sufficient. [ 1] More severe and prolonged cases may require more specific pain management strategies and occasionally investigations for underlying medical diseases.

Any pain in this area is considered \"\"middle back pain\"\". [ 2]The exact symptoms associated with middle back pain will depend upon the underlying cause. Most middle back pain is not serious in nature. However, it does tend to have more serious pathology associated with it than pain in the neck or low back.

This is because the thoracic spine has one main job: to support the rib cage. Facets in the bone structure facilitate this support function by allowing the heads of the ribs to connect with the vertebrae in the first 10 thoracic levels. As a result of this stability, spinal deterioration at the thoracic level is far less common than at the other, more flexible segments of the spine. Thoracic vertebrae: the basics The spine is made up of five segments: Cervical spine (neck)Thoracic spine (upper and middle back)Lumbar spine (lower back)Sacral spine (lower back)Coccyx (tailbone)Together, these segments form an S-shaped structure that provides our bodies with the strength to walk upright, supports most of the body’s weight and allows for motion and flexibility. However, while the thoracic spine offers a measure of flexibility in the middle back, its main function is to provide a stable base for the rib cage — which protects the internal organs in the torso.

Discs act as shock absorbers for the spine and bear much of the stress of supporting the rib cage. Facet joints — These joints connect the thoracic vertebrae to one another and to the ribs. Coated in cartilage, facet joints allow for hinging and pivoting while maintaining a solid bond." }, { "docid": "D1132264#0", "title": "http://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/thoracic-lumbar-and-sacral-spine-injuries\nWhat are thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine injuries?", "text": "What are thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine injuries? In children older than 9 years, spinal column injuries tend to occur in the thoracic, lumbar and sacral regions (TLS) of the spine, rather than in the cervical spine as with very young children. Thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine injuries occur at about the same rate as cervical spine fractures — 2-5 percent of blunt trauma injuries. [ See C1 atlas injuries, C2 axis injuries and C3-C7 injuries . ] Fractures of the thoracic spine in children occur due to: High energy trauma in healthy children Milder injury in pediatric patients with osteoporosis The most common injuries in both situations are compression fractures (a collapse of a vertebra). This can occur as a single vertebral fracture or may involve two or more vertebrae. Causes Common spine trauma fractures among children include: Compression fractures Flexion-distraction fractures (also known as Chance fractures) of the lumbar spine Chance fractures involve only the bony part of the spine — not the spinal cord — and many times are caused by inappropriate use of a lap seat belt in a motor vehicle. In children, the Chance fracture is most common in the upper lumbar spine, but it can occur in the mid-lumbar region, which is around the spine at the waistline. It occurs at a lower level in children because of their lower center of gravity. Injuries in the thoracic spine or upper lumbar areas can be accompanied by loss of function in lower extremities (legs and feet) and bowel and bladder function." }, { "docid": "D3456003#0", "title": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1344622314000972\nCoronal clefts in infants â Rare differential diagnosis of traumatic injuries of vertebral bodies in battered children", "text": "Legal Medicine Volume 16, Issue 6, November 2014, Pages 333-336Coronal clefts in infants – Rare differential diagnosis of traumatic injuries of vertebral bodies in battered children E.

Abstract Accidental and nonaccidental spinal injuries are generally rarely seen in infants. If affected, vertebral bodies usually present compression fractures due to forced hyperflexion or hypertension. Radiographic examination of the infantile skeleton can reveal a radiolucent band running through a vertebral body. These so called vertebral clefts are mainly visualized in the lateral spinal radiograph. Usually they can be found in the 1st year of life. Radiological appearance of coronal clefts was compared to that of a traumatic vertebral compression fracture. Clefts were mostly localized in the lumbar spine and had a completely different radiological appearance comparing to a traumatic compression fracture. As coronal clefts can be seen as a result from a retarded ossification of the vertebral bodies in fetal development they are a physiological variant. Due to this different etiology they have to be distinguished from spinal signs of child abuse." } ]
