"While you may not be able to calculate the exact cost of refacing your kitchen cabinets, the following tips can help you estimate the approximate cost of refacing: 1 Educate Yourself: According to BobVila.com, a typical cabinet refacing job costs between $1000 and $5000. 1 Refacing jobs done with high-quality wood veneer can cost up to $9000, depending on the size of the job. 2 Ask What's Included: When you're speaking with various contractors about your cabinet refacing job, make sure you know exactly what is included in the quote they are giving you.",
"Cabinet Refacing is up to 60% less than new cabinets. New cabinets range from $12,500.00 for average cabinets with wood fronts but particle board sides to $30,000.00 dollars for quality all wood cabinets. Cabinet Refacing USA averages between $4,900.00 to $8,900.00 pending the size of the kitchen.",
"1 According to CostHelper.com, the cheapest refacing jobs use rigid thermofoil (RTF), which costs between $1000 and $3000. 2 Refacing jobs done with high-quality wood veneer can cost up to $9000, depending on the size of the job. 1 Refacing jobs done with high-quality wood veneer can cost up to $9000, depending on the size of the job. 2 Ask What's Included: When you're speaking with various contractors about your cabinet refacing job, make sure you know exactly what is included in the quote they are giving you.",
"In the broadest terms, refacing costs about half of what it would cost to completely replace kitchen cabinetry. The average kitchen is about 10 feet by 12 feet and features approximately 30 linear feet of cabinetry. Frequently, contractors will quote estimates based on the linear foot. ",
"1 Multiply the linear cabinet footage by $130 and $200 and use this as your pre-materials price range. 2 A contractor may include materials when giving you a quote, so be sure to ask. 3 For laminate refacing, an average kitchen costs around $1,000 to $3,000. 1 For laminate refacing, an average kitchen costs around $1,000 to $3,000. 2 Real wood veneer runs anywhere between $2,500 and $6,500, going all the way up to $7,000 to $9,000 for nicer hardwoods.",
"New kitchen cabinetry can be expensive. Refacing is an attractive alternative because it can cost 30-50% less than replacing existing cabinets with cabinets of comparable quality. The average kitchen has about 15 cabinets and, at an average cost per cabinet of $500, can easily exceed $7,500 for cabinets alone. A common rule of thumb in pricing remodeling costs is to figure the cost of cabinets and installation at 50-60% of the total remodeling budget. New cabinets range from $12,500.00 for average cabinets with wood fronts but particle board sides to $30,000.00 dollars for quality all wood cabinets. Cabinet Refacing USA averages between $4,900.00 to $8,900.00 pending the size of the kitchen.",
"1 Refacing the cabinets in a typical kitchen starts around $1,000-$3,000 for rigid thermofoil (RTF) or plastic laminate and $2,500-$6,000 for real wood veneer (about 1/4-inch think), although costs can rise to $7,000-$9,000 or more for a large project with high-quality wood veneer. ",
"Cabinet organizers and accessories will also drive up the cost of your refacing, however, many opt to reface their cabinets because then they will have enough money for a few extras! Think of cookbook rack pull-downs, drawer partitions, lazy susan's, under sink storage or even a knife rack pull-down. Refacing a kitchen with wood will cost from 10 percent to 25 percent more than RTF and laminates, and it can be done in oak, maple, cherry, birch, walnut or almost any other wood a customer wants.",
"Find out how much your project will cost. Provide a few details about your project and receive competitive quotes from local pros. The average national cost to reface cabinets is $6,699, with most homeowners spending between $4,334 and $9,064. This data is based on actual project costs as reported by HomeAdvisor members. Refacing a kitchen with wood will cost from 10 percent to 25 percent more than RTF and laminates, and it can be done in oak, maple, cherry, birch, walnut or almost any other wood a customer wants.",
"A typical refacing project also includes new pulls and handles to finish the job. While the average refacing job costs between $4,000 and $5,000, according to a 2012 report by Cabinet Inventions, the price of cabinet refacing varies significantly based on the type of material you choose. "

"If your client wants to take a taxable distribution from an IRA, put it in a brokerage account, and then pay your fee with the distribution, you can certainly do so. But fee-sweeping from an IRA for expenses that don’t pertain to an IRA is inviting trouble. Instead, a payment from a retirement account for the fees of other accounts would be treated as a taxable distribution (with potential early withdrawal penalties due as well), in the same manner that using a retirement account to pay any other personal bills and expenses would be treated as a distribution.",
"Given that investment advisory fees can be paid from retirement accounts-as long as the fee is attributable only to the retirement account-the question remains whether a client should pay from retirement accounts when it is possible to do so. Instead, a payment from a retirement account for the fees of other accounts would be treated as a taxable distribution (with potential early withdrawal penalties due as well), in the same manner that using a retirement account to pay any other personal bills and expenses would be treated as a distribution.",
"I also see that investment fees paid to produce taxable income are deductible. My question is: If I pay a large brokerage firm to manage my IRA and it charges fees to the account, are these fees tax-deductible since I am taking an annuity from the account and it is included in my taxable income? -- Vince. You're right that investment fees paid to produce taxable income are tax-deductible. These expenses are miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to an overall reduction of 2 percent of adjusted gross income.",
"The key to deducting the IRA fees is to cut a check or use a credit card to pay the broker the annual maintenance fees. For example, if your broker charges you $150 for the IRA annually, you need to pay this to the broker from non-IRA assets for it to be deductible. The payment is not considered an additional contribution, but rather a miscellaneous itemized deduction. You're right that investment fees paid to produce taxable income are tax-deductible. These expenses are miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to an overall reduction of 2 percent of adjusted gross income.",
"In fact, the IRS even allows investment advisory fees to be deducted when paid on behalf of retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k) plans. Alternatively, the IRS also allows investment advisory fees to be paid directly from a retirement account-which effectively allows the fee to be paid with 100% pre-tax dollars. Instead, a payment from a retirement account for the fees of other accounts would be treated as a taxable distribution (with potential early withdrawal penalties due as well), in the same manner that using a retirement account to pay any other personal bills and expenses would be treated as a distribution.",
"There is no advantage in trying to pay the entire fee from a taxable account in an attempt to boost your deductions. If you pay $2,500 in management fees, it is better to pay $1,000 from an IRA with pretax dollars than to pay for it separately to get a $500 tax deduction. For traditional IRA accounts, the fee is not considered a withdrawal and therefore is not a taxable account. The fee is considered an investment expense. Thus this fee is being paid with pretax dollars.",
"They can be paid from the 401(k) directly (which would be pre-tax by virtue of the account), or paid with outside dollars and deducted as a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to the 2%-of-AGI floor. But the IRA should only pay fees attributable to itself. Instead, a payment from a retirement account for the fees of other accounts would be treated as a taxable distribution (with potential early withdrawal penalties due as well), in the same manner that using a retirement account to pay any other personal bills and expenses would be treated as a distribution.",
"Amount of Yearly Investment. The most that you can contribute each year to a traditional IRA account as of April 2013 is $5,500 if you are younger than 50 or $6,500 if you are 50 or older. While IRA trustee fees paid outside of the IRA account with personal funds are deductible from your income taxes, investment management fees charged directly to your IRA account are not tax deductible.",
"With a taxable brokerage account, you can always contribute more and pay the fees out of your pocket. You can’t with an IRA, once you pay the fee, you lose the tax advantaged status of those dollars forever. If you have to pay an $50 administrative fee, you’re automatically losing 1% each year. 1% may not seem like much, but over forty years, the difference between earning 5% and 4% is staggering. 1 They do not charge an IRA annual fee but they do charge transfer out fees and termination fees (full fee schedule). 2 E*Trade: They charge $12.99 a trade, almost 3X TradeKing, but on no-load, no-transaction-fee funds they will not charge you a transaction fee (otherwise it’s $19.99 on the other transaction fee funds).",
"Dear Vince, Certain IRA administrative fees, whether or not you're currently taking distributions, are deductible, but they have to be paid by the account owner's non-IRA funds. You're right that investment fees paid to produce taxable income are tax-deductible. These expenses are miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to an overall reduction of 2 percent of adjusted gross income."

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The midbrain or mesencephalon (from the Greek mesos, middle, and enkephalos, brain) is a portion of the central nervous system associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, arousal (alertness), and temperature regulation. Caudally the midbrain adjoins the metencephalon (afterbrain) (pons and cerebellum) while rostrally it adjoins the diencephalon (thalamus, hypothalamus, etc.). The midbrain is located below the cerebral cortex, and above the hindbrain placing it near the center of the brain.",
"Introduction. Human brain midsagittal cut description. The midbrain or mesencephalon represents the connection between the brain stem and the higher centres of the brain and is involved in most body systems including sleep/consciousness, vision, hearing and temperature regulation. The midbrain is located between the diencephalon and the hind brain, or brain stem. Midbrain Development. The midbrain arises from the mesencephalon. One of the key roles of this area of the brain during development is the maintainance of a patent cerebral aqueduct to facilitate the appropriate development of higher brains structures including the cerebral hemispheres.",
"The Pons. The pons, which is also part of the brain stem, is inferior to the midbrain and superior to the medulla. Its posterior border is separated from the cerebellum by the aqueduct of Sylvius, and more inferiorly, by the fourth ventricle. Motor and sensory tracts traverse the anterior surface of the pons. The corpora quadrigemina, which is located on the posterior surface of the midbrain, is composed of two superior colliculi and two inferior colliculi. The superior colliculi are part of the visual system, relaying input from the optic tract to the lateral geniculate bodies of the thalamus.",
"Tectum | Tegmentum | See also. The midbrain, or mesencephalon is made up of two main structures and surrounds the cerebral aqueduct. The tectum is in the dorsal part of the midbrain. The superior colliculi are a part of the visual system and are involved in visual reflexes and reactions to moving stimuli. The inferior colliculi appear as four bumps on the dorsal surface of the brain stem and are a part of the auditory system",
"The hindbrain is made of the cerebellum, pons and medulla. Often the midbrain, pons, and medulla are referred to together as the brainstem. The Cerebrum: The cerebrum or cortex is the largest part of the human brain, associated with higher brain function such as thought and action. ",
"Tectum. The tectum is in the dorsal part of the midbrain. The superior colliculi are a part of the visual system and are involved in visual reflexes and reactions to moving stimuli. The inferior colliculi appear as four bumps on the dorsal surface of the brain stem and are a part of the auditory syste",
"The midbrain, also called the mesencephalon, is a region in the brainstem that is critical in producing orienting movements, species-specific behaviors, and the perception of pain. All this information is relayed to the brain to help our pre-frontal cortex make executive decisions. ",
"The midbrain is formed by three main structures: the cerebral peduncle (peduncle meaning 'foot' or 'base' of the cerebrum), the corpora quadrigemina (meaning 'quadruplet bodies' since it has four mound or hill-like structures), and the cerebral aqueduct, which is a canal dividing the two structures. In this lesson, we'll explore the midbrain, including where it's located, what structures compose it, and what its role is in the functions of your brain."

"Vintage Fiesta Covered Casserole in Original 50s Chartreuse Glaze ». Circa 1951-1959: It is a treat to find the rarer 50s colors, and especially the most desirable of them, the Chartreuse Green glaze, on the classic Fiesta shapes that were in production since the lines release in the mid 30s. ",
"During the 1950's, several additional colors were added to the original five Fiesta colors. Colors introduced during the 1930's and 1950's are often referred to as original or vintage Fiesta. During the 1960’s Homer Laughlin faced fierce foreign competition that threatened the survival of the business. Homer Laughlin, having retained all original molds to the Fiesta pattern would produce the items for Bloomingdales. Five new colors were introduced in the Bloomingdales line. These colors were a bit pale compared to the bright reds and deep blues of the original Fiesta line and those that are in production today.",
"Fiesta ware was originally introduced in just 5 colors, Red (it may look orange, but everyone seems to have agreed to keep with its original name of red), Blue (cobalt now), Green (light or original green), Yellow and Old Ivory (simply ivory now), with Turquoise not hitting the shelves until 1937. ",
"Beginning in 1959, Fiesta was available in the following colors: Red (original orange red), Green (new Medium green), Yellow (original golden), and Turquoise (original robin's egg blue). Although this color assortment was available and sold for ten years (1959–1969), the popularity of Fiesta had fallen. Some of the original shapes were redesigned and other new shapes were designed as part of the 1986 reintroduction by Jonathan O. Parry, who became the company art director in 1984. As a line of open-stock dinnerware, Fiesta allows buyers to select by the piece, rather than requiring the purchase of entire sets.",
"Fiesta, or Fiestaware, was first presented in 1936, at which time there were five colors: green, yellow, ivory, blue, and red. It should be noted that the red is quite orange, the green is often called light green, the yellow is brilliant, and the blue is deep, often called dark blue or cobalt. ",
"The original 1936 Fiesta line was limited to just five colors — red (which resembles orange), blue (these days it’s known as cobalt), green (sometimes called light or original green), yellow, and old ivory (“old” was dropped). A year later, turquoise hit the shelves. ",
"Well discuss more about red Fiestaware in a later post. The 1950s Fiesta Colors In the 1950s, the Fiestaware line was greatly expanded to include chartreuse, forest green, gray, rose and medium green. Of these colors, medium green is often the rarest color to find a piece of Fiestaware in. Medium green was in production between 1959 and 1969. These discontinued Fiestaware colors can be divided into several categories: The Original Fiesta Colors The original colors are cobalt blue, light green, ivory, red, turquoise and yellow. These colors were introduced in 1936. Of these colors, the production periods are as follows: 1 Cobalt Blue Fiestaware - 1936 to 1951",
"The first six colors were produced through the 1930's and 40's until a change in fashion direction dictated a change to a softer palette of pastel colors at the beginning of the 1950's. Color trends moved back to brighter colors in the early 1960's and FIESTA® moved with the trend. By the late 60's earthtones were in vogue and the dinnerware industry turned in that direction. Popularity of these colors proved to be short-lived and sales began to fall. In the seventy-nine years since FIESTA® was first produced, there have been a total of 47 colors in the line. Today, Homer Laughlin introduces one new color each year and FIESTA® has become the leading dinnerware brand in casual tabletop, as well as a consistent leader in bridal registries across America.",
"Fiesta is a line of ceramic Art Deco dinnerware glazed in differing solid colors manufactured and marketed by the Homer Laughlin China Company of Newell, West Virginia. The original shapes, glazes and concept of combining various colors were designed by the company's art director Frederick Hurten Rhead in the 1930s. The dinnerware was introduced for retail sales to great success in 1936. Some of the original shapes were redesigned and other new shapes were designed as part of the 1986 reintroduction by Jonathan O. Parry, who became the company art director in 1984. As a line of open-stock dinnerware, Fiesta allows buyers to select by the piece, rather than requiring the purchase of entire sets."

"1 Remove pork from oven, lightly cover with foil, and let rest 5-10 minutes to redistribute internal juices. 2 Roast should be done, very slightly pink in the center, and very moist. 3 After resting 10 minutes, the roast should reach a safe 145-150 degrees. ",
"Continue cooking about 50-80 minutes or until the meat registers 145 degrees on a meat thermometer. Some roasts are long and thin and others are short and fat, consequently the cooking times will vary depending on the shape of your roast. The meat thermometer is the best way to judge the right amount of cooking time. ",
"Place the pork on a high shelf in the oven and roast it for 25 minutes. Turn the heat down to 190C/375F/Gas 5, and calculate the total cooking time allowing 35 minutes to the pound, then deduct the initial 25 minutes cooking time. In this case it would be a further 2½ hours. "

"Names. We're pretty sure Dickens had one party of a time cooking up the names in this novel. For example, Pip is the nickname Pip gave himself, because he could not say his full name (Phillip Pirrip). Or Magwitch: he pretty much collects names, but we like this one the best, mainly because it sounds like a magnet met a witch. The witch part of his name is very interesting, because we fancy him to be a bit of a magician himself, a bit of a mysterious creature.",
"A person would be called by the word for an animal or force of nature in orde … r to bring valued attributes to that person. Later names described something about a person and referred to what they did, what they looked like or where they came from. As a result, most names derive from a word with some meaning. However, in many cases the knowledge of that meaning is lost in everyday usage ad is merely an interesting but trivial piece of information, not expected to reflect any actual aspect of the person using the name. The idiomatic phrase you name it is a way of describing the completeness or wide extent of a collection or group.

"Consider the symbolism or significance of the character names: “Estella”, the “Pockets”, “Havisham”, and “Drummle”. Explain how their names reflect their role in the story or reveal some aspect of their personalities. ",
"Estella, whose name means star is perceived as an almost ethereal being of great beauty by the naive Pip. Of course, the figurative irony of her name is later revealed. Mr. Jaggers, then, is a character whose name has meaning that extends beyond the identity of his person. For, as Pip describes him in Chapter 18, The strange gentleman, with an air of authority not to be disputed, and a manner expressive of knowing something secret about every one of us.... Instead, any other name would not work for many of his characters since these names are symbolic. That is, the names represent more than the literal nomenclature of a character; the names have figurative meanings as well. One such example of a character whose silly name indicates his foolish nature is Uncle Pumblechook.",

When the mists are present, they can symbolize danger and uncertainty like when Magwitch attacks Pip, shortly after arriving in London or before the attack of Orlick. Dickens uses the ever so famous archetype of light to represent the goodness and dark to represent the evil or unknown. Joe’s character almost emits light to guide Pip along the way while the Satis House is almost completely dark.",
"Like the protagonist, Pip, Estella is introduced as an orphan, but where Pip was raised by his sister and her husband to become a blacksmith, Estella was adopted and raised by the wealthy and eccentric Miss Havisham to become a lady.

Myelin – the protective coating around nerve fibers in the central nervous system – is a primary target of the immune attack in MS.",
"Depending on the location, different glial cell types make myelin in a different manner. Schwann cells make myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS: nerves) and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS: brain and spinal cord). In the PNS, one Schwann cell forms a single myelin sheath (Figure 1A). The ratio between axon diameter and that of the total nerve fiber (axon and myelin) is 0.6–0.7, a ratio that is well maintained regardless of the axon caliber. The length of the myelin sheath along the axon is approximately 1 mm in the PNS.",

In humans, myelination begins in the 14th week of fetal development, although little myelin exists in the brain at the time of birth.

"Cold forging is generally preferred when the metal is already a soft metal, like aluminum. This process is usually less expensive than hot forging and the end product requires little, if any, finishing work. Sometimes, when aluminum is cold forged into a desired shape, it is heat treated to strengthen the piece. One of the most common types of cold forging is a process called impression-die forging, where the metal is placed into a die that is attached to an anvil. The metal is then hit by a descending hammer and forced into the die.",
"Another common open die forging process performed in industrial metal forging manufacture, involves using flat die to round an ingot. With the use of mechanical manipulators, a work piece is compressed and rotated in a series of steps eventually forming the metal into a cylindrical part. Flashless Forging. Flashless forging is a type of precision forging process in which the entire volume of the work metal is contained within the die and no material is allowed to escape during the operation. Since no material can leave the mold as the part is forged, no flash is formed.",
"The forge is used by the smith to heat a piece of metal to a temperature where it becomes easier to shape by forging, or to the point where work hardening no longer occurs. Sometimes such as when hardening steel or cooling the work so that it may be handled with bare hands; the workpiece is transported to the slack tub, which rapidly cools the workpiece in a large body of water. The slack tub also provides water to control the fire in the forge.",
"Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. The blows are delivered with a hammer (often a power hammer) or a die. Forging is often classified according to the temperature at which it is performed: cold forging (a type of cold working), warm forging, or hot forging (a type of hot working). For the latter two, the metal is heated, usually in a forge. Impression-die forging is also called closed-die forging. In impression-die forging, the metal is placed in a die resembling a mold, which is attached to an anvil. Usually, the hammer die is shaped as well. The hammer is then dropped on the workpiece, causing the metal to flow and fill the die cavities.",
"It is important that when manufacturing a metal forging by this process, the part is worked significantly enough to change the structure of the material in the center of the work piece. Large shafts for motors and turbines are forged this way from cast ingots. Flashless Forging. Flashless forging is a type of precision forging process in which the entire volume of the work metal is contained within the die and no material is allowed to escape during the operation. Since no material can leave the mold as the part is forged, no flash is formed.",
"A forge is a type of hearth used for heating metals, or the workplace (smithy) where such a hearth is located. Sometimes such as when hardening steel or cooling the work so that it may be handled with bare hands; the workpiece is transported to the slack tub, which rapidly cools the workpiece in a large body of water. The slack tub also provides water to control the fire in the forge.",
"Metal forging is a metal forming process that involves applying compressive forces to a work piece to deform it, and create a desired geometric change to the material. Flashless Forging. Flashless forging is a type of precision forging process in which the entire volume of the work metal is contained within the die and no material is allowed to escape during the operation. Since no material can leave the mold as the part is forged, no flash is formed.",
"Introduction. Forging is the process by which metal is heated and is shaped by plastic deformation by suitably applying compressive force. Usually the compressive force is in the form of hammer blows using a power hammer or a press. Forging refines the grain structure and improves physical properties of the metal. Physical properties (such as strength, ductility and toughness) are much better in a forging than in the base metal, which has, crystals randomly oriented. Forgings are consistent from piece to piece, without any of the porosity, voids, inclusions and other defects.",
"The Difference Between Casting & Forging. Casting is the process where metal is heated until molten. While in the molten or liquid state it is poured into a mold or vessel to create a desired shape. Forging is the application of thermal and mechanical energy to steel billets or ingots to cause the material to change shape while in a solid state. "

"Developed by the Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov, classical conditioning is the first type of learning wherein an organism responds to an environmental stimulus.",
"Several types of learning exist. The most basic form is associative learning, i.e., making a new association between events in the environment. There are two forms of associative learning: classical conditioning (made famous by Ivan Pavlov’s experiments with dogs) and operant conditioning. Pavlov’s Dogs. In the early twentieth century, Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov did Nobel prize-winning work on digestion.",

"Summary: Classical conditioning is a reflexive or automatic type of learning in which a stimulus acquires the capacity to evoke a response that was originally evoked by another stimulus.",
"During the 1890s Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov was looking at salivation in dogs in response to being fed, when he noticed that his dogs would begin to salivate whenever he entered the room, even when he was not bringing them food. At first this was something of a nuisance (not to mention messy!).",
"Classical Conditioning. One important type of learning, Classical Conditioning, was actually discovered accidentally by Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936). Pavlov was a Russian physiologist who discovered this phenomenon while doing research on digestion. His research was aimed at better understanding the digestive patterns in dogs."

"Area of a Rectangle. The area of a square that has a side-length of 1 cm is 1 square centimetre (or 1 cm 2). To find the area of a rectangle by the method of counting squares, we divide the rectangle into small squares of one centimetre side-length. Consider a rectangle of length 5 cm and width 3 cm. Using the method of counting squares, we find that the area of the rectangle is 15 cm 2",
"The formula is written as Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width). As you can see, the formula can be written in various ways that mean the same thing.So let's do a couple of examples: If the length of a rectangle is 3 inches and the width is 1 inch, the perimeter = 2(3in) + 2(1in) = 8 in. So the perimeter is 8 inches. The area would equal 6 x 4, which equals 24 inches squared.Here's another example: if the rectangle is 8 inches long by 2 inches wide, the area would equal 8 x 2, which equals 16 inches squared. Now lets move on to finding the perimeter of a rectangle.",
"To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. The division by 2 comes from the fact that a parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles. For example, in the diagram to the left, the area of each triangle is equal to one-half the area of the parallelogram. ",
"Area of a Rectangle. The area of a polygon is the number of square units inside the polygon. To understand the difference between perimeter and area, think of perimeter as the length of fence needed to enclose the yard, whereas area is the space inside the yard. Given the length and width of a rectangle, we can find the area. Given the area and one dimension of a rectangle, we can find the other dimension. The formula for area of a rectangle is: where is the length and is the width.",
"In another example, the length of our rectangle is 5 inches and the width is 4 inches. So 2(5in) + 2(4in) = 18. Therefore the perimeter of this rectangle is 18 inches. So that's how you calculate the area and perimeter of a rectangle. The area would equal 6 x 4, which equals 24 inches squared.Here's another example: if the rectangle is 8 inches long by 2 inches wide, the area would equal 8 x 2, which equals 16 inches squared. Now lets move on to finding the",
"The opposite sides of a rectangle are always parallel and equal in length.The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is very easy, you simply multiply the length of the rectangle by the width. Therefore Area = Length x Width. The area would equal 6 x 4, which equals 24 inches squared.Here's another example: if the rectangle is 8 inches long by 2 inches wide, the area would equal 8 x 2, which equals 16 inches squared. Now lets move on to finding the perimeter of a rectangle.",
"Area of a Rectangle. A quadrilateral is a called rectangle, if it is a parallelogram and each angle measures 90 degrees. A rectangle is a four sided and closed figure. In a rectangle all opposite sides are parallel and equal. Also in a rectangle all the adjacent sides are perpendicular. A rectangle is a quadrilateral and also a parallelogram. Let us consider a rectangle with length x units and width y units. Area of the above rectangle = L × W. Example 1: Given a rectangle where the length is 5cm and the width is 3cm. ",
"Units. Area is measured in square units. The area of a figure is the number of squares required to cover it completely, like tiles on a floor. Area of a square = side times side. Since each side of a square is the same, it can simply be the length of one side squared. If a square has one side of 4 inches, the area would be 4 inches times 4 inches, or 16 square inches. (Square inches can also be written in2.) Be sure to use the same units for all measurements. ",
"Area of a rectangle formula. The area of a rectangle is equal to a product of lenghts of two sides (height and width). where A-the area of a rectangle, a, b-the length of sides(the height and width of rectangle). A = a · b. You can use online calculator for computing the area of a rectangle. ",

"Plants are able to assimilate nitrogen directly in the form of nitrates that may be present in soil from natural mineral deposits, artificial fertilizers, animal waste, or organic decay (as the product of bacteria, but not bacteria specifically associated with the plant). Nitrogen can also be found in many organic compounds. Common nitrogen functional groups include: amines, amides, nitro groups, imines, and enamines. The amount of nitrogen in a chemical substance can be determined by the Kjeldahl method.",
"Ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3–) are the predominate inorganic forms of nitrogen in soils. Ammonium exists in exchangeable and nonexchangeable forms. Nitrite (NO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) are present in soil in lesser quantities. Plants normally use nitrogen in only the ammonium and nitrate forms. Nitrite is actually toxic to plants. Once nitrogen is fixed, it is subject to several chemical reactions which can convert it to different organic or inorganic forms. Mineralization occurs in soil as microorganisms convert organic nitrogen to",
"Plants take nitrogen from the soil by absorption through their roots as nitrate ions, nitrite ions, or ammonium ions. Most nitrogen obtained by terrestrial animals can be traced back to the eating of plants at some stage of the food chain. The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms. This transformation can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrificatio",
"Nitrate NO3 Nitrate is the form of nitrogen most used by plants for growth and development. Nitrate is the form that can most easily be lost to groundwater. AmmoniumNitrogen NH4 Ammonium taken in by plants is used directly in proteins. This form is not lost as easily from the soil. Dinitrogen, or atmospheric nitrogen, can also be found in the soil. In addition to dinitrogen, other inorganic and organic forms exist in the soil as well. Organic forms of nitrogen make up a very high percentage of the total nitrogen",
"Nitrogen form Plants have the ability to take up several chemical forms of nitrogen. The most common are: ammonium (NH 4+), which has a positive charge; nitrate (NO 3-), which has a negative charge; and urea, ((NH 2)2CO), which has no charge. Because nitrogen can be supplied as a positively or negatively charged form, the root substrate pH can be altered. Reprinted from the June 2009 Edition of GMPro Magazine Figure 1. Conversions between nitrogen form and effect of nitrogen uptake on root-zone pH.",
"Although the atmosphere is mostly made up of nitrogen, it is in the form of a gas known as dinitrogen N2. Plants cannot use this form.

Organic forms of nitrogen make up a very high percentage of the total nitrogen found in the soil.",
"Nitrogen form Symbol Use in soils and plants Dinitrogen(Atmospheric Nitrogen) N2 Dinitrogen is the most common form. It makes up 78 percent of the atmosphere but cannot be used by plants.

"Nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, are essential for plant and animal growth and nourishment, but the overabundance of certain nutrients in water can cause a number of adverse health and ecological effects. Nitrogen, in the forms of nitrate, nitrite, or ammonium, is a nutrient needed for plant growth. Nitrate can also be formed in water bodies through the oxidation of other forms of nitrogen, including nitrite, ammonia, and organic nitrogen compounds such as amino acids. Ammonia and organic nitrogen can enter water through sewage effluent and runoff from land where manure has been applied or stored."

"The downward force required to deform the rivet with an automatic riveting machine is created by a motor and flywheel combination, pneumatic cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder. Manual feed riveting machines usually have a mechanical lever to deliver the setting force from a foot pedal or hand lever. Riveting machines can be sub-divided into two broad groups — impact riveting machines and orbital (or radial) riveting machines.",

"A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener. Before being installed, a rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite the head is called the tail. On installation the rivet is placed in a punched or drilled hole, and the tail is upset, or bucked (i.e., deformed), so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter, holding the rivet in place. In other words, pounding creates a new head on the other end by smashing the tail material flatter, resulting in a rivet that is roughly a dumbbell shape. To distinguish between the two ends of the rivet, the original head is called the factory head and the deformed end is called the shop head or buck-tail.",

The latest technology support used in these riveting machines makes them provide superior consistency and productivity. Further, these also offer lower operation costs in comparison to manual riveting.... These multi point riveting machines, multi spindle drilling machines allows riveting to be done on more than one rivet at a time. The smallest distance between the rivets can be 10 mm. The largest center distance can be about 60 mm.",
"Orbital Riveting and Forming. Orbital riveting and forming is a cold forming process using a peen tool held at a fixed angle to create a sweeping line of pressure around the part, progressively forming the material with each rotation. This process reduces the amount of forming force required by approximately 80% of a standard press. ",
"Noun. 1. riveting machine-a machine for driving rivets. riveter, rivetter. machine-any mechanical or electrical device that transmits or modifies energy to perform or assist in the performance of human tasks. ",
"Because there is effectively a head on each end of an installed rivet, it can support tension loads (loads parallel to the axis of the shaft); however, it is much more capable of supporting shear loads (loads perpendicular to the axis of the shaft). Bolts and screws are better suited for tension applications. In other words, pounding creates a new head on the other end by smashing the tail material flatter, resulting in a rivet that is roughly a dumbbell shape. To distinguish between the two ends of the rivet, the original head is called the factory head and the deformed end is called the shop head or buck-tail.",

"There are different types of riveting machines. Each type of machine has unique features and benefits. The orbital riveting process is different from impact riveting and spiralform riveting. Orbital riveting requires less downward force than impact or spiral riveting. Also, orbital riveting tooling typically lasts longer. Manual feed riveting machines usually have a mechanical lever to deliver the setting force from a foot pedal or hand lever. Riveting machines can be sub-divided into two broad groups — impact riveting machines and orbital (or radial)"

"Colloquially, the doldrums are a state of inactivity, mild depression, listlessness or stagnation. The word is derived from dold (an archaic term meaning stupid) and-rum(s) , a noun suffix found in such words as tantrum . The doldrums are notably described in Samuel Taylor Coleridge 's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, in Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken, and in Patrick O'Brian 's Desolation Island.",
"Origin. The Doldrums is the region of calm winds, centered slightly north of the equator and between the two belts of trade winds, which meet there and neutralize each other. It is widely assumed that the phrase 'in the doldrums' is derived from the name of this region. Actually, it's the other way about. In the 19th century, 'doldrum' was a word meaning 'dullard; a dull or sluggish fellow' and this probably derived from 'dol', meaning 'dull' with its form taken from 'tantrum'. From the bluff head where I watch'd to-day, I saw her in the doldrums; for the wind Was light and baffling. [Note: baffling winds are those which are shifting and variable, making progress under sail impossible.]. The 'equatorial doldrums' is another of these calm places.",
"More. To most people the doldrums refers to a state or period of stagnation or depression, but to sailors it is an equatorial region of the Atlantic Ocean with calms, sudden storms, and light unpredictable winds. For sailing ships, being becalmed in the doldrums was a serious occupational hazard. 1 On the equator there is little wind, mariners called this region the doldrums (after an old English word meaning dull) because they feared being stranded there. 2 The trade winds from both hemispheres converge towards the doldrums and a zone of low pressure, the equatorial trough, that girdles the earth.",
"Definition of DOLDRUM. 1. doldrums plural a: a spell of listlessness or despondency: blues b: a state of bafflement: quandary. 2. archaic: a sluggish or slow-witted person. 3. doldrums plural a: a region over the ocean near the equator abounding in calms, squalls, and light baffling winds b: the calms met with in that region. 4.

"Pluripotent stem cells are master cells. They’re able to make cells from all three basic body layers, so they can potentially produce any cell or tissue the body needs to repair itself. Stem cells made by somatic cell nuclear transfer (ntES cells). The term somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) means, literally, transferring the nucleus (which contains all of a cell’s genetic instructions) from a somatic cell—any cell of the body—to another cell, in this case an egg cell.",
"Stem cells are categorized by their potential to differentiate into other types of cells. Embryonic stem cells are the most potent since they must become every type of cell in the body. The full classification includes: 1 Totipotent-the ability to differentiate into all possible cell types. 2 Examples are the zygote formed at egg fertilization and the first few cells that result from the division of the zygote. Stem cells are a class of undifferentiated cells that are able to differentiate into specialized cell types. Commonly, stem cells come from two main sources: 1 Embryos formed during the blastocyst phase of embryological development (embryonic stem cells) and. 2 Adult tissue (adult stem cells).",
"Within the bone marrow, all blood cells originate from a single type of unspecialized cell called a stem cell. When a stem cell divides, it first becomes an immature red blood cell, white blood cell, or platelet-producing cell. ",
"1 Examples include embryonic stem cells and cells that are derived from the mesoderm, endoderm, and ectoderm germ layers that are formed in the beginning stages of embryonic stem cell differentiation. 2 Multipotent-the ability to differentiate into a closely related family of cells. Stem cells are a class of undifferentiated cells that are able to differentiate into specialized cell types. Commonly, stem cells come from two main sources: 1 Embryos formed during the blastocyst phase of embryological development (embryonic stem cells) and. 2 Adult tissue (adult stem cells).",
"About Monoclonal Antibodies: Monoclonal Antibodies are cells derived by cell division from a single ancestral cell.

The primary roles of adult stem cells in a living organism are to maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found.",
"Embryonic stem cell. Also called ES cells, embryonic stem cells are cells derived from the inner cell mass of developing blastocysts. An ES cell is self-renewing (can replicate itself), pluripotent (can form all cell types found in the body) and theoretically is immortal. Stem cells that can give rise to all cell types that are found in an embryo, fetus, or developed organism, including the embryonic components of the trophoblast and placenta required to support development and birth.",
"The cell (from Latin cella, meaning small room) is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms. Cells are the smallest unit of life that can replicate independently, and are often called the building blocks of life. The study of cells is called cell biology. "

"Cervical radiculopathy, commonly called a pinched nerve occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated where it branches away from the spinal cord. This may cause pain that radiates into the shoulder, as well as muscle weakness and numbness that travels down the arm and into the hand. ",
"Pinched median nerve. A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure (compression) is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues. In some cases, this tissue might be bone or cartilage, such as in the case of a herniated spinal disk that compresses a nerve root. ",
"Pinched Nerve in Neck Causes. To better understand causes of a pinched nerve in the neck, conditions of the cervical spine should be examined. As it leaves the spine, a nerve can be affected by an unwanted condition such as a neck bone spur (osteophytes) or a bulging, or herniated neck disc compressing the nerve. ",
"1 A pinched nerve in the neck can cause neck pain or stiffness, along with symptoms down the arm. 2 A pinched nerve in the lower back causes back pain and stiffness with symptoms down the leg. 1 A pinched nerve in the lower back causes back pain and stiffness with symptoms down the leg. 2 A doctor can often identify which nerve is pinched in the neck or lower back based on what portion of the patient's arm or leg is affected.",
"A pinched nerve in the neck or lower back can be caused by a herniated disc, arthritis, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis. If the doctor suspects the patient has a pinched nerve (compression of the nerves) in the neck or lower back, X-rays may be necessary to assess possible injury to the spine or arthritis of the spine. Depending on the severity and duration of the patient's symptoms, he or she may also need a CT scan or an MRI scan",
"Symptoms of a pinched nerve in your neck, all of which can extend down into your arms and all the way to your hands and fingers, include: 1 Pain that radiates from your neck. 2 Numbness, burning, or a prickling sensation. 3 Problems with sensation. 4 Feeling weakness. ",
"Causes of Pinched Nerves. A pinched nerve occurs when there is compression (pressure) on a nerve. The pressure may be the result of repetitive motions. Or it may happen from holding your body in one position for long periods, such as keeping elbows bent while sleeping. These symptoms may result from changes that develop in the spine 's discs and bones. For example, if a disc weakens or tears -- known as a herniated disc -- pressure can get put on a spinal nerve. Nerve compression in your neck or arm may also cause symptoms in areas such as your: 1 Elbow. 2 Hand. 3 Wrist. 4 Fingers."

If you’re searching for long lasting blooms that perform during the hottest days of summer heat, consider planting the verbena flower (Verbena officinalis). Planting verbena, whether annual or perennial types, ensures summer flowers when it is planted in the sunniest and possibly driest area of the garden. If humidity is high in your area in summer, choose perennial verbena for a better summer show",
"Perennial Verbena Examples. Perennial verbenas do well in a wide range of U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones, but most grow best in zones 5 and above. Verbena peruviana, V. canadensis and V. tenusecta each grow as low, spreading mats. V. canadensis has several varieties in colors ranging from red to lavender. Several species of plants fall under the genus Verbena. Although a few of these are annuals and need to be replanted each year, many more are perennials and come back year after year.",
"Alphabetical list of all 3,000+ perennials here. Tumbling and spreading in habit, this gorgeous Verbena produces clusters of rich purple flowers throughout the entire summer. Although not hardy over a wide area, many gardeners treat this as a long-blooming annual, better than any other variety for mildew tolerance."

"Liver tests (LTs) are blood tests used to assess the general state of the liver or biliary system. Few of these tests actually measure how well the liver or biliary system is functioning, but rather reflect the presence of damage or inflammation. ",
"No blood test is 100% accurate. If the doctor suspects a liver problem, they usually do more blood test ,with intervals in between, to be sure of the tests results. The blood tests only give the doctor an idea that there is something wrong. They cannot give a true diagnoses until other tests are done. Usually, a liver problem starts out as inflammation of the liver cells. This means that the liver cells are stress and can become damage which causes the immune system to respond. The blood tests may show a rise in the liver enzymes at this point. But, in some people no rise is detected.",
"Liver blood tests are some of the most commonly performed blood tests. These tests can be used to assess liver functions or liver injury. An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the level of certain liver enzymes (proteins) in the blood. ",
"Liver enzyme tests, formerly called liver function tests (LFTs), are a group of blood tests that detect inflammation and damage to the liver. They can also check how well the liver is working. Most often, a liver test panel is ordered as a routine lab test. Many doctors check the liver in new patients or during annual physicals. Your doctor may conduct liver enzyme and liver function tests if: 1 You are taking a medication that can harm the liver. 2 You have liver disease. 3 You have symptoms of liver or bile system disease (abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, or yellow skin)",
"A liver (hepatic) function panel is a blood test to check how well the liver is working. This test measures the blood levels of total protein, albumin, bilirubin, and liver enzymes. High or low levels may mean that liver damage or disease is present. The liver serves several important functions in the body, including changing nutrients into energy for the body and breaking down toxic substances.",
"Liver function tests (LFTs or LFs) are groups of blood tests that give information about the state of a patient's liver. These tests include prothrombin time (PT/INR), aPTT, albumin, bilirubin (direct and indirect), and others. ",
"Liver function tests are blood tests used to help diagnose and monitor liver disease or damage. The tests measure the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood. Some of these tests measure how well the liver is performing its normal functions of producing protein and clearing bilirubin, a blood waste product. Other liver function tests measure enzymes that liver cells release in response to damage or disease. Abnormal liver function test results don't always indicate liver disease. Your doctor will explain your results and what they mean. 1 Why it's done.",
"You may have blood tests to check your liver enzymes. These can help show whether you have had liver inflammation for a long time. These blood tests include: 1 Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) , alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Measuring the levels of certain chemicals produced by the liver can show how well your liver is working.

"Whole-wheat pita bread is the healthiest type of pita bread since it’s made with whole grains and contains lots of vitamins and minerals. Whole-wheat pita bread boasts a few powerful health benefits – it helps reduce your risk of cholesterol and high blood sugar. Brown rice bread is also perfect for weight loss. It keeps you full, energetic, and it’s low in calories and sugar. Try eating brown rice bread with butter and fresh vegetables or low fat cheese. If you stick to a very strict diet, consider having steamed or boiled vegetables with a few pieces of brown rice bread.",
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends at least half of your grain servings consist of whole grains. There's a good reason for this -- whole grains are more nutritious and provide more health benefits. The healthiest type of pita bread is one made with whole grains, such as whole-wheat. You'll get the most minerals from eating whole-grain pitas. Each whole-grain pita provides 11 percent of the DV for iron and magnesium, 12 percent of the DV for phosphorus, 56 percent of the DV for manganese and 40 percent of the DV for selenium.",
"Pita Bread. As far as the nutritional value of pita bread goes, it is a mixed picture. Pita bread has both healthy as well as unhealthy attributes in its nutritional value. As far as calories go, one large pita (60 grams) comes with 165 calories. While regular bread is more common for making sandwiches in the West, pita bread has grown in popularity in the same region due to the use of its pocket as a way of making a sandwich.",
"White pitas each provide 0.7 gram of fat, 5.5 grams of protein and 33.4 grams of carbohydrates, while whole-wheat pitas have 1.7 grams of fat, 6.3 grams of protein and 35.2 grams of carbohydrates. The big difference between these types of pita bread is the fiber content. You'll get the most minerals from eating whole-grain pitas. Each whole-grain pita provides 11 percent of the DV for iron and magnesium, 12 percent of the DV for phosphorus, 56 percent of the DV for manganese and 40 percent of the DV for selenium.",
"Unenriched white pita bread, enriched white pita bread and whole-wheat pita bread all have about the same number of calories, with a 6-inch white pita containing 165 calories and a same-sized whole-wheat pita containing 170 calories. You'll get the most minerals from eating whole-grain pitas. Each whole-grain pita provides 11 percent of the DV for iron and magnesium, 12 percent of the DV for phosphorus, 56 percent of the DV for manganese and 40 percent of the DV for selenium.",
"While the salt content is somewhat worrisome in the same serving of both pita as well as regular bread, regular bread just doesn't have as many waist-busting carbs in a comparable serving, and it has more fiber, which is great for bowel movements, among other things. While regular bread is more common for making sandwiches in the West, pita bread has grown in popularity in the same region due to the use of its pocket as a way of making a sandwich.",
"However, regular bread is not that much healthier than pita bread because while it beats pita bread in some areas of nutritional value, it is nearly equal to it in others. For instance, in a 60 gram slice of whole wheat bread, you get 4 grams of fiber, which is almost four times as much as in pita bread. While regular bread is more common for making sandwiches in the West, pita bread has grown in popularity in the same region due to the use of its pocket as a way of making a sandwich.",
"Pita is not bad. There are low fat english muffins and Arnold has a bread similar to pita, but I can't recall the name. I highly suggest Weight Watchers-you can do it online if you aren't into the group thing, but it is really supportive. Is pita bread good for you? I'm about to go on a diet, and I was wondering if eating pita bread can help me? If not, please tell me something else that is good to eat (besides vegetables).",
"yes pita bread is good as long as you don't eat to much of it. Brown bread and the new weight watchers bread is great to eat too. Proteing is very helps just not to much red meat. Chicken is great!

If you are on a migraine preventative medication that is constipating, like amitriptyline or verapamil, this might be a plus. It’s always wise to check with your doctor before starting on magnesium, especially if you are on medication. It is best not to take magnesium at the same time as medications.

"Does the image actually require the amount of space that is being used on the hard drive you are trying to backup? For example, I have 104GB used up on my computer right now. do i need 104GB to create a system image for backup? thanks in advance! Report Abuse. Yes, you will need to have as much space available for the image as you have on the hard drive you are making the image of. This is because an image is essentially an exact replica or copy of your hard drive. If you need an image of a 500 GB HD, the image is going to be 500 GB as well, since it's a complete copy.",
"How to Create and Restore System Images. To create a system image on Windows. You can then restore these backup images using the Advanced Startup Options on Windows 8 or the System Recovery option on Windows 7. These can be accessed from a Windows installation disc or recovery drive. On a Mac, you can use Time Machine create and restore system image backups. You then have a complete system image you can copy back onto a drive to restore the system state. The system image contains a complete snapshot of everything on the computer’s hard drive at any given time. So, if you have 500 GB of space used on a 1 TB drive, the system image will be about 500 GB. Some system image programs use compression to shrink the system image’s size by as much as possible, but don’t count on saving much space in this way",
"After nearly 2 hours(!) the system image stopped with a message that there wasn't enough space on the backup disk, and that to free up space I could delete a previous backup. It identified the current backup I was doing as a possible previous backup, and reported it had taken 17.8Gb of the external drive disk space. I just tried to do a System Image for the first time of my Home Premium 64-bit laptop to an external USB2 HD (which I have used with for several years with Acronis TrueImage for my XPH desktop PC)."

"Surrounding the heart is a fibrous sac called the pericardium. This sac protects the heart, and is actually composed of two layers: an inner visceral one and an outer parietal one. When the heart moves (i.e. when the heart beats), these two layers move with it. For this to happen, it is important that there is no friction between the two layers of the pericardium, which is why pericardial fluid lines the inner space between the them. Much like oil in an engine, the pericardial fluid makes for less friction between the inner and outer layer of the pericardium. The pericardial cavity or sac is the potential space between the parietal and visceral layers of serous pericardium. In other words, two different layers of cardiac tissue.",
"This serous layer has two membranes which enclose the pericardial cavity into which is secreted the pericardial fluid. The fluid is similar to the cerebrospinal fluid of the brain which also serves to cushion and allow some movement of the organ. The pericardial fluid reduces friction within the pericardium by lubricating the epicardial surface allowing the membranes to glide over each other with each heart beat.",
"The pericardium (from the Greek περί, around and κάρδιον, heart) is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels. The pericardial sac has two layers, a serous layer and a fibrous layer. It encloses the pericardial cavity which contains pericardial fluid. The pericardium fixes the heart to the mediastinum, gives protection against infection, and provides the lubrication for the heart. In between the parietal and visceral pericardial layers there is a potential space called the pericardial cavity, which contains a supply of lubricating serous fluid known as the pericardial fluid. When the visceral layer comes into contact with heart (not the great vessels) it is known as the epicardium.",
"The pericardium is a tough double layered fibroserous sac which covers the heart. The space between the two layers of serous pericardium (see below), the pericardial cavity, is filled with serous fluid which protects the heart from any kind of external jerk or shock. There are two layers to the pericardial sac: the outermost fibrous pericardium and the inner serous pericardium.

"The Pericardium. The pericardium is a thin, two-layered, fluid-filled sac that covers the outer surface of the heart. It shields the heart from infection or malignancy and contains the heart in the chest wall. It also prevents the heart from over-expanding when blood volume increases, which keeps the heart functioning efficiently. ",
"The pericardium is a tough, layered sac that wraps around the heart. When the heart beats, it slides easily within the sac. Normally, only 2 to 3 tablespoons of clear-yellow pericardial fluid are present between two layers, which lubricates the heart's movements within the sac. A pericardial effusion is an abnormal amount of fluid between the heart and the pericardium, which is the sac surrounding the heart. Pericardial effusions are associated with many different medical conditions."

"Thrombocytopenia. In this condition, your bone marrow makes too few platelets, or your platelets are destroyed. If your platelet count gets too low, bleeding can occur under the skin as bruising, inside the body as internal bleeding, or outside the body through a cut that won't stop bleeding or from a nosebleed. Your health care provider may do a blood test called a complete blood count to find out if your bone marrow is making the right number of platelets: A normal platelet count is 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.

"Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. If one of your blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals that are picked up by platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug, or clot, to repair the damage. Your health care provider may do a blood test called a complete blood count to find out if your bone marrow is making the right number of platelets: A normal platelet count is 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.

"The purpose of platelets. “Platelets are the cells that circulate within our blood and bind together when they recognize damaged blood vessels,” says Dr. Marlene Williams, Assistant Professor of Medicine and CICU Director for Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. In severe cases, the patient might have to undergo a procedure called a platelet pheresis. This lowers the platelet count by removing the blood, separating out the platelets, and returning the red blood cells back to the body. With secondary thrombocytosis, the symptoms are usually related to the associated condition.",
"White blood cells protect the body from infection. They are much fewer in number than red blood cells, accounting for about 1 percent of your blood. The most common type of white blood cell is the neutrophil, which is the immediate response cell and accounts for 55 to 70 percent of the total white blood cell count. It has four main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood has many different functions, including: 1 transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues. 2 forming blood clots to prevent excess blood loss.",
"Platelets are made in your bone marrow along with your white and red blood cells. Your bone marrow is the spongy center inside your bones. Another name for platelets is thrombocytes, and health care providers usually call a clot a thrombus. Your health care provider may do a blood test called a complete blood count to find out if your bone marrow is making the right number of platelets: A normal platelet count is 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. Risk for bleeding develops if a platelet count falls below 10,000 to 20,000.",
"Plasma is the often forgotten component of blood. White blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets are essential to body function, but plasma also plays a crucial, and mostly unrecognized, job, carrying these blood components throughout the body as the fluid in which they travel.",
"Platelets (also known as Thrombocytes) circulate in the blood (of mammals) and are are involved in hemostasis, leading to the formation of blood clots. Platelets also keep the body from bleeding in weaker structures including the nose and mouth. "

"Subchorionic Hemorrhage is bleeding behind the placenta, often caused by a clot. In most cases, this clot will dissolve away, resolving the problem and allowing the pregnancy to progress normally. It may take several weeks for this clot to dissolve. Treatment for a Subchorionic hemorrhage is typically bed rest. Rarely, the clot dissects between the placenta and the attachment to mother. This may lead to placental abruption. Risk factors that may increase the chance of experiencing this include high blood pressure, smoking and cocaine use",
"Topic Overview. A subchorionic hemorrhage is bleeding under one of the membranes (chorion) that surrounds the embryo. It is a common cause of bleeding in early pregnancy. It also may be called a subchorionic hematoma. The main symptom is vaginal bleeding. But some women don't have symptoms",
"Subchorionic Hematoma is a great concern for expectant mothers. This is described as a blood clot formation found in the pregnancy membranes and the uterus. This is said to be a rare phenomenon. About 25% of pregnancies are noted to be affected of such condition. Subchorionic hematoma during pregnancy is somehow identified by the doctors as natural condition, not unless large hematomas are involved and are found late. There is a tendency that once the ultrasound show hematoma and the doctor shall explain the phenomenon, the mothers become agitated.",

"Overview. Subchorionic hemorrhage (subchorionic hematoma) is the most common sonographic abnormality in the presence of a live embryo. Vaginal bleeding affects 25% of all women during the first half of pregnancy and is a common reason for first-trimester ultrasonography. Sonographic visualization of a subchorionic hematoma is important in a symptomatic woman because pregnant women with a demonstrable hematoma have a prognosis worse than women without a hematoma (see example images below). However, small, asymptomatic subchorionic hematomas do not worsen the patient's prognosis.",
"A: A subchorionic hematoma (also known as subchorionic bleeding) is a space of fluid collection, presumably blood, between the gestational sac, usually the placenta, and the uterine wall. ",
"There is excessive bleeding and a collection of blood or hematoma that forms between the chorionic membrane surrounding the embryo, and the wall of the uterus. Subchorionic hemorrhage is caused because the membrane surrounding the embryo separates from the inner lining of the uterus. ",
"Chorionic hematoma (also chorionic hemorrhage) is the pooling of blood (hematoma) between the chorion, a membrane surrounding the embryo, and the uterine wall. Chorionic hematomas can be caused by the separation of the chorion from the endometrium (inner membrane of the uterus). Hematomas are classified by their location between tissue layers: 1 Subchorionic hematomas, the most common type, are between the chorion and endometrium.",
"Subchorionic haemorrhage (SCH) occurs when there is perigestational haemorrhage and blood collects between the uterine wall and the chorionic membrane in pregnancy. It is a frequent cause of first and second trimester bleeding. ",
"Subchorionic Hemorrhage. A subchorionic hemorrhage, also known as a subchorionic hematoma or simply SCH, is created when blood gathers in the space between the placenta and uterus. The technical term is chorion, but many doctors will simply call it a blood clot. In most cases, the first symptom of a subchorionic hemorrhage is vaginal bleeding. This can be very heavy or very light. Because bleeding might also be a sign of miscarriage, calling your doctor the moment you notice it is a good idea."

"Lewy body dementia (LBD) describes two distinct but related types of dementia: DLB and Parkinson’s disease with dementia (PDD). Here are clues that the dementia you are observing is LBD. Unlike early AD, LBD often begins with episodic loss of long-term memory and more marked impairments of executive (eg, making decisions; sequential tasking), visuo-spatial, and attentive functions.",
"Lewy body dementia, which affects about 1.3 million Americans, is a type neurodegenerative disease that has many attributes similar to both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Taylor added that the disease can be difficult to diagnose since there is not currently a medical test to differentiate Lewy body dementia from other types of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Many of the symptoms associated with Lewy body dementia can be similar to Alzheimer's disease. For example, a decline in cognitive abilities is one of the early signs of Alzheimer's disease; it's also associated with Lewy body dementia, but is not typically a symptom of Parkinson",
"Early LBD symptoms are often confused with similar symptoms found in other brain diseases like Alzheimer’s. Also, LBD can occur alone or along with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. There are two types of LBD — dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease dementia. The earliest signs of these two diseases differ but reflect the same biological changes in the brain. The terms used to describe Lewy body dementia (LBD) can be confusing. Doctors and researchers may use different terms to describe the same condition. In this booklet, the term Lewy body dementia is used to describe all dementias whose primary cause is abnormal deposits of Lewy bodi",
"LBD may refer to: 1 IATA airport code for Khudzhand Airport, Tajikistan. 2 Little black dress, a fashion staple. 3 Lesbian bed death, a term invented by sex researcher Pepper Schwartz. 4 Lewy Body Dementia, a type of dementia closely associated with Parkinson's disease. 5 LBD-1 Gargoyle, a surface-to-air missile. 1",
"LBD is a disease associated with abnormal deposits of a protein called alpha-synuclein in the brain. These deposits, called Lewy bodies, affect chemicals in the brain whose changes, in turn, can lead to problems with thinking, movement, behavior, and mood. LBD is one of the most common causes of dementia, after Alzheimer’s disease and vascular disease. The terms used to describe Lewy body dementia (LBD) can be confusing. Doctors and researchers may use different terms to describe the same condition. In this booklet, the term Lewy body dementia is used to describe all dementias whose primary cause is abnormal deposits of Lewy bodies",
"When a person elects to receive Medicare’s hospice benefit and is admitted to a Medicare-approved hospice program, that program receives a fixed payment for each day of that person’s care (a per diem). In return, the hospice program must provide all the care needed for that person’s terminal illness. If individuals need care for other health problems that are not related to their terminal illness, then this care is not paid for out of the hospice payment but is covered by their regular Medicare benefit.",
"You Might Also Like. Typically, patients are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease first, and then LBD symptoms begin to appear. An examination of Williams’ brain revealed that it had undergone changes associated with Alzheimer’s, in addition to Parkinson’s and LBD. “Though his death is terribly sad,” Taylor said, “it’s a good opportunity to inform people about this disease and the importance of early diagnosis.”. According to his official autopsy, actor and comedian Robin Williams had a disease called Lewy body dementia (LBD), which may have contributed to his decision to kill himself. People with LBD have dementia and often appear disoriented.",
"The goal of palliative medicine is to improve quality of life by relieving the symptoms of disease. Accepting palliative care services does not mean that someone has given up hope of a cure. Instead, it signifies recognition that the quality of one’s life is as important as its duration. If individuals need care for other health problems that are not related to their terminal illness, then this care is not paid for out of the hospice payment but is covered by their regular Medicare benefit.",
"Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with cognitive, motor, sleep, and behavioral symptoms. Because these symptoms are similar to those of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, it can take some time to correctly diagnose LBD. If individuals need care for other health problems that are not related to their terminal illness, then this care is not paid for out of the hospice payment but is covered by their regular Medicare benefit."

"White, black and green peppercorns all come from the same vine. They grow in clusters (like grapes), and are harvested in various stages of growth. Green peppercorns are young when they are picked and dehydrated or preserved, with a resulting mild flavor. Pink peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns are not true peppercorns. Pink peppercorns are soft, fragile berries with a sweet-sharp flavor. Sichaun pepper is the berry of the mountain ash tree, with a pungent, cold flavor instead of the usual heat of a peppercorn.",
"About this species. Black pepper fruits are the source of one of the world's most widely and frequently used spices. Black, white and green peppercorns all come from Piper nigrum and are popularly used as a hot and pungent spice for flavouring food. Sichuan pepper, a common spice used in Asian cuisine, is obtained from Zanthoxylum species (citrus family, Rutaceae). Peppercorns should not be confused with chilli peppers (Capsicum species) such as Capsicum annuum (potato family, Solanaceae). The fruits of Piper nigrum are used to make black pepper.",
"Peppercorns (dried black pepper) are, by monetary value, the most widely traded spice in the world, accounting for 20 percent of all spice imports in 2002. The price of pepper can be volatile, and this figure fluctuates a great deal year to year; for example, pepper made up 39 percent of all spice imports in 1998. The word pepper has its roots in the Dravidian word for long pepper, pippali. Ancient Greek and Latin turned pippali into the Latin piper, which was used by the Romans to refer both to black pepper and long pepper, as the Romans erroneously believed that both of these spices were derived from the same plant.",
"Answer: White pepper comes from black pepper, which is the dried berry of the woody, climbing vine Piper nigrum. While growing on the vine, the peppercorn ripens from green to yellow to red. To make black pepper, the peppercorns are picked and dried. To get white pepper, the peppercorns are left on the vine a bit longer, so they remain lighter in color in the drying process. ",
"Peppercorns are actually a tiny fruit, the drupe (a fruit with a single seed in the middle) of a flowering vine known as piper nigrum, grown in tropical regions, native to the Indian subcontinent and in Southeast Asia. Some of the best peppercorns in the world come from the Malabar coast in the Indian state of Kerala. The color of the various peppercorns you see in the store are a result of either when the tiny fruits are harvested, or else the type of processing they undergo after picking. Piper nigrum. Photo by Vengolis. Red peppercorns are produced much like green peppercorns, only using the fully ripe fruit, which is treated to preserve the red color. These may also be pickled or dried before use. Sometimes in gourmet markets, you will see a mixture of dried black, red, green, and white peppercorns together in a transparent grinder.",
"Description. Black pepper comes from the berries of the pepper plant. Black pepper, green pepper and white peppercorns are actually the same fruit (Piper nigrum); the difference in their color is a reflection of varying stages of development and processing methods. Pink peppercorns are actually from a completely different plant species (Schinus molle) that is related to ragweed. Black pepper is the most pungent and flavorful of all types of peppers and it is available as whole or cracked peppercorns or ground into powder.",
"Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. When dried, the fruit is known as a peppercorn. The word pepper has its roots in the Dravidian word for long pepper, pippali. Ancient Greek and Latin turned pippali into the Latin piper, which was used by the Romans to refer both to black pepper and long pepper, as the Romans erroneously believed that both of these spices were derived from the same plant.",
"Pink Peppercorns: Pink Peppercorns are not true peppercorns, they are the aromatic berries of two trees, the Brazilian Pepper tree also known as the Baies Rose Plant (Schinus terebinthifolius) and the Peruvian Pepper tree (Schinus molle). ",
"Peppercorns, and the ground pepper derived from them, may be described simply as pepper, or more precisely as black pepper (cooked and dried unripe fruit), green pepper (dried unripe fruit) and white pepper (ripe fruit seeds). The word pepper has its roots in the Dravidian word for long pepper, pippali. Ancient Greek and Latin turned pippali into the Latin piper, which was used by the Romans to refer both to black pepper and long pepper, as the Romans erroneously believed that both of these spices were derived from the same plant."

"Muscle cars are part of an enduring high-speed American subculture that originated in the 1960s. But the era is far from over, and modern-day muscle cars for 2014 are making their debuts in showrooms at this very moment. Karl Brauer, a senior director at the car valuation and analysis company Kelley Blue Book, provided his list of classic muscle cars in April.",
"Introduction: Perhaps the most common question people have is what exactly is a muscle car. The term wasn’t even used until the late 1970s, in the 1960s there were often called “Super Cars” if called anything at all. Therefore, the actual definition of a muscle car, or which models were muscle cars, is a topic that is often disputed. Here is the general interpretation of what is a muscle car and what cars qualify, and which don’t. ",
"According to Muscle Cars, a book written by Peter Henshaw, a muscle car is exactly what the name implies. It is a product of the American car industry adhering to the hot rodder 's philosophy of taking a small car and putting a large-displacement engine in it. Studebaker entered the muscle car scene in 1956 with the Golden Hawk powered by a 352 CI Packard V8 with 275 bhp. In 1957, the Rambler Rebel was the fastest stock American sedan, according to Motor Trend.",
"Muscle car is an American term used to refer to a variety of high-performance automobiles. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines muscle cars as any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving.. A large V8 engine is fitted in a 2-door, rear wheel drive, family-style mid-size or full-size car designed for four or more passengers. Studebaker entered the muscle car scene in 1956 with the Golden Hawk powered by a 352 CI Packard V8 with 275 bhp. In 1957, the Rambler Rebel was the fastest stock American sedan, according to Motor Trend.",
"The Australian muscle car era is considered to have ended with the release of the Australian Design Rule regarding emissions in ADR27a in 1976. An exception to this rule was the small number of factory-built Bathurst 1000 homologation specials that were constructed after 1976; these are considered to be muscle cars. Studebaker entered the muscle car scene in 1956 with the Golden Hawk powered by a 352 CI Packard V8 with 275 bhp. In 1957, the Rambler Rebel was the fastest stock American sedan, according to Motor Trend.",
"Some might disagree with the Corvette being included as a muscle car. That's because muscle cars were supposed to be affordable. The truth is, the Corvette is the American version of the European sports car and no other American car comes close in terms of sheer intensity and style. AMC might not be an obvious choice when looking for a muscle car. If you want a car that's not something you will see on the street all that often, though, the Javelin is a great choice. It was AMC's entry into the pony car market and came standard with a 360 cubic inch engine that delivers about 350 horsepower.",
"While some people have definite opinions about what qualifies as a muscle car and what doesn't, the term usually applies to two-door, rear-wheel-drive, small to midsize cars with large, powerful eight-valve (V8) engines. Muscle cars became popular with young drivers in the mid-1960s. Many muscle car enthusiasts believe the 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 was the first true muscle car. It boasted America's first overhead valve V8 in a relatively light body, giving it a lot of power and speed. Manufacturers began to compete, offering more powerful engines year after year.",
"When you think muscle car many picture a prehistoric V8 belching exhaust and cheesy rock music. The 2015 Ford Mustang is not that car. They've chopped the number of cylinders in half and added a host of new tech so they can promise more power, performance, and, yes, even efficiency. The Mustang didn't become a muscle car for a few years. It was a pony car and this Mustang carries on that tradition. From the rear, there's a touching tribute to original fastback Mustangs. It looks like it should be a liftback, actually.",
"Some argue that pony cars, such as the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, aren't muscle cars at all, but for this list, Bankrate chose not to make that distinction. Manufacturers engineered muscle cars for straight-line speed, inspiring more than an occasional Saturday night drag race between traffic lights. Because it is a genre that enthusiasts are passionate about, you are bound to generate some criticism when compiling a list of the seven greatest muscle cars of all time. However, Bankrate stuck its neck out to do just that."

Animal cells differ from those of plants and fungi because animal cells do not contain a cell wall. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms. This group includes mostly unicellular organisms but also has multicellular organisms that are without specialized tissues. Their simple cellular organization distinguishes them from other eukaryotes, such as plants, animals, and fungi.",
"All animals are heterotrophs, meaning they feed on other organisms or the waste products of those organisms. Members of the kingdom Animalia vary widely, from the tiniest of insects, to the fish in the sea, to land creatures great and small. The majority of animals increase their numbers by means of sexual reproduction. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms. This group includes mostly unicellular organisms but also has multicellular organisms that are without specialized tissues. Their simple cellular organization distinguishes them from other eukaryotes, such as plants, animals, and fungi.",
"Plants are all multicellular and consist of complex cells. In addition plants are autotrophs, organisms that make their own food. With over 250,000 species, the plant kingdom is the second largest kingdom. Plant species range from the tiny green mosses to giant trees. When Linnaeus developed his system of classification, there were only two kingdoms, Plants and Animals. But the use of the microscope led to the discovery of new organisms and the identification of differences in cells.",
"Confidence votes 3.5K. Animals (the animal kingdom), by definition, are multicellular and heterotrophic. Animals cannot produce their own food. They feed on other organismal sources for their energy. They feed on plants or other animals. Thus be their definition of hetero trophic. All animals (whether Chordata, Echinodermata, Porifera, Placozoa, Annelida or Arthropoda) are all heterotrophic and all multicellular.",
"Protist Kingdom. The Protist Kingdom consists of mostly unicellular organisms that can have characteristics similar to plants, animals or fungi. Characteristics of Protists: mostly unicellular, few multicellular, eukaryotic, can be heterotrophic or autotrophic. Ex: algae, Paramecium, kelp (multicellular). .

"Investing Basics: Income Streams and Annuities. It is very important to understand an income stream from a conceptual standpoint in the world of financial management. In short an income stream is a regular inflow of money. Another more technical name for this flow of money is an “annuity”",
"Income annuities can provide a stable and secure source of retirement income. With these types of annuities, you surrender future access to a portion of your savings in exchange for a stream of income that's guaranteed for life. Payments from income annuities can typically start as early as 30 days from the day you sign the contract, as late as your 85th birthday, or on any date in between.",

"By Daniel Kurt AAA |. A: An annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company in which you make a lump sum payment or series of payments and in return obtain regular disbursements beginning either immediately or at some point in the future. The goal of annuities is to provide a steady stream of income during retirement. Funds accrue on a tax-deferred basis, and like 401(k) contributions, can only be withdrawn without penalty after age 59.5. Many aspects of an annuity can be tailored to the specific needs of the recipient. ",

"Immediate fixed annuities are the oldest, most common type of annuity: you pay an insurance company a lump sum up front, and in return, you receive a fixed monthly payment for life (or some other specific time period)—a reliable stream of income you can't outlive. There are two types of annuities we believe may be worth considering to generate income: immediate fixed annuities and variable annuities. Many variable annuities offer an optional rider (often called guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits, or GLWBs) that can provide additional protection for your income.",

"Your propane dealer or local welding gas dealer can tell you where it can be done. Really old tanks with the round valve handle will not be worth the effort, as they will require valve upgrading. If you buy used, make sure the tank has a three lobed handle-they are the most recent and safest. There are several clever scales on the market whereby you can push a ‘tare button’ (very useful). I’ve been using the H-100 hanging scale (multiple uses), for my 20 & 30 pound portable propane tanks (bbq and RV). Here’s a bbq grill tank gauge that’s calibrated specifically for a 20-pound (5-gallon) tank.",
"If it has the in and outside threads on it it is a new OPD valve you will need to have it hooked up to something to to see if it is empty of propane.You can look on the side of the safety fence for the markings you will see the empty weight. If I got to do it faster, you can air it out you must have the valve removed. wash it out with the oil grease cutting cleaner. Then you can make up a fitting to screw in the cylinder with a hose and valve. Hook it to any inert gas cylinder and add the gas to the propane bottle then when filled you can weld. If you are going to do a lot of them you can make up a gizmo fitting for exhaust gases to fill the cylinder as you are welding on it. One other way that is expounded on the net is to fill with water full and plug the holes with a pipe plug or the valve. A word of caution",
"500 gal propane tank with leak at a single point in the weld bead around the base of the threaded bung for the filler valve.

These mercaptans can form a oily coating on the inside of the tank. The only way to remove the mercaptans is with a bleach rinse.",
"Water Capacity). This is the weight of the tank if it were filled with water (yes, water). The typical 20-pound (5-gallon) barbeque grill tank would hold 47.6 pounds of water.

"The hard thing is ensuring all the propane is out of the tank. Most consumers will not use every last wisp of propane, and the leftover gas can cause a fire or explosion. Due to this risk, it is extremely important not to place propane tanks in the trash unless you are absolutely certain they are empty. They can cause serious injury or even death if put in compactor trucks, incinerators and other waste management equipment. As you do that, you are probably eying at least one propane tank and wondering if it still holds any gas. Hopefully, if the answer is no, you are wondering how to recycle it. Propane tanks present a real danger in the waste stream because they can cause fires or even explosions.",

My wife in in it away from home and there is a small propane leak at where the shutoff valve is welded to the tank. The tank is full. They can suck the propane out of the tank and sell you a new filled tank. Another option is to take the tank off and away from surrounding RV and buildings and empty it. Take the empty tank to WalMart, Home Depot, etc and get a filled exchange tank. The last time I exchanged tanks the cost was under 30.00",
"A 5-gallon propane tank is easy to recycle. The body is steel and the valve is copper. Both of these are valuable products with ready markets. It is important to leave an unwanted propane tank in its original form. Put caps back on small bottles and do not attempt to remove the valve from large tanks.

"Welding on Propane tanks is pretty simple. First; Empty the tank, either by venting or by transfer to another tank. Second; Fill the tank with water and drain. This removes all the gas. The tank will still reek of propane, but there isn't really any in the tank. The smell of rotting garlic comes from the Mercaptans that are added to fuel gasses to make them stink. These mercaptans can form a oily coating on the inside of the tank. The only way to remove the mercaptans is with a bleach rinse.

"Norepinephrine is a monoamine neurotransmitter. Monoamine neurotransmitters are neurotransmitters and neuromodulators that contain one amino group that is connected to an aromatic ring by a two-carbon chain (-CH 2 -CH 2 -). All monoamines are derived from aromatic amino acids like phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and the thyroid hormones by the action of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase enzymes.",
"Abstract. Using enzyme histochemistry for monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity, we have examined whether MAO type A or type B or both are localized in neurons of the locus coeruleus (LC) and dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) of the rat. Monoamine oxidase staining intensity of the locus coeruleus (LC) and dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) neurons with serotonin or β -phenylethylamine as a substrate. Sections were incubated at 37°C for 90 min in the staining mixture with various concentrations (0.01 to 1 mM) of serotonin (A) or β -phenylethylamine (B).",
"After release into the synaptic cleft, monoamine neurotransmitter action is ended by reuptake into the presynaptic terminal. There, they can be repackaged into synaptic vesicles or degraded by the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO), which is a target of monoamine oxidase inhibitors, a class of antidepressants. All monoamines are derived from aromatic amino acids like phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and the thyroid hormones by the action of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase enzymes.",
"Monoamine oxidase staining of the locus coeruleus (LC) and dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) neurons with preferential substrates. Sections were incubated in the staining mixture with 1 mM serotonin (A,B) or 0.1 mM β -phenylethylamine (C,D). A,C: LC. Monoamine oxidase staining intensity of the locus coeruleus (LC) and dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) neurons with serotonin or β -phenylethylamine as a substrate. Sections were incubated at 37°C for 90 min in the staining mixture with various concentrations (0.01 to 1 mM) of serotonin (A) or β -phenylethylamine (B).",
"Monoamine oxidases catalyze the oxidative deamination of monoamines. Oxygen is used to remove an amine group from a molecule, resulting in the corresponding aldehyde and ammonia. Monoamine oxidases contain the covalently bound cofactor FAD and are, thus, classified as flavoproteins. They are found bound to the outer membrane of mitochondria in most cell types in the body. The enzyme was originally discovered by Mary Bernheim in the liver and was named tyramine oxidase. They belong to the protein family of flavin-containing amine oxidoreductases.",
"Monoaminergic systems, i.e., the networks of neurons that utilize monoamine neurotransmitters, are involved in the regulation of cognitive processes such as emotion, arousal, and certain types of memory. All monoamines are derived from aromatic amino acids like phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and the thyroid hormones by the action of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase enzymes.",
"L-Monoamine oxidases (MAO) (EC 1.4.3.4) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of monoamines. They are found bound to the outer membrane of mitochondria in most cell types in the body. The enzyme was originally discovered by Mary Bernheim in the liver and was named tyramine oxidase. They belong to the protein family of flavin-containing amine oxidoreductases.",
"It has been found that monoamine neurotransmitters play an important role in the secretion and production of neurotrophin-3 by astrocytes, a chemical which maintains neuron integrity and provides neurons with trophic support. All monoamines are derived from aromatic amino acids like phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and the thyroid hormones by the action of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase enzymes.",
"Int J Neurosci 1993 May; 70(1-2):75-84 ABSTRACT Monoamine oxidase is an iron containing enzyme that exists as 2 isozymes, A and B, that have different affinities for various amines as substrates. The activity of monoamine oxidase helps to maintain neuron firing rates throughout the body within homeostatic limits. Other drugs that inhibit monoamine oxidase are used to treat patients with atypical depression, panic attacks or post traumatic stress syndrome. It is hypothesized that the emotions act as positive or negative reinforcers of behavior patterns that increase the probability of survival of the organism."
