Harvard Style Reference Generator
The Harvard Referencing System is one of the preferred layouts for these references. It is a relatively strict way of arranging the bibliographical information. This tool takes in the raw information-author, title, year of publication-and creates the reference in the correct form.


-
Getting started. There are two components to referencing: in-text citations in your paper and the reference list at the end of your paper. The in-text citation: Harvard is an 'author/date' system, so your in-text citation consists of author(s) and year of publication.

Welcome to the Purdue OWL
In all references, you will need to list the author/editor name/s and the year of publication. The year of publication can be found on the first couple of pages of the book, along with the other bibliographic information. Look for the author s name, a copyright symbol and then a date.

Harvard is an 'author/date' system, so your in-text citation consists of author(s) and year of publication. In-text citation of a book (the same format applies for a journal article).


-
At the Department of Lifelong Learning you are required to use the Harvard referencing system. The following guide tells you why you need to use a referencing system, shows you how to insert references in the text of your assignments, and shows you how to compile a reference list.


-
This guide explains how this is done in the Harvard Style, sometimes called the author-date system. There are two steps to acknowledging your sources: cite your references in the text, to show where you have drawn upon other people's work, and then list them at the end of your work under the heading 'References'.


-
Why you should use a referencing system. As a part of an academic community, it is important that you show the reader where you have used someone else s ideas or words. Failure to properly reference using the Harvard system may make the reader think that you are cheating by claiming someone else s work as your own.


A guide to Harvard Referencing
Jonny, a student at the University of Derby, explains Harvard Referencing. He discusses how to use citations and how to reference different sources such as books, journals and websites.


-
The Harvard Citation Style, also known as author-date style or parenthetical referencing, is a popular alternative to the MLA or APA styles. Despite the name, Harvard University does not manage, own, or endorse this style. See our LibGuides on APA style and MLA style if you need information on those formats.


Structure and Functions of Areolar Tissue
Areolar Tissue is loose connective tissue that consists of a meshwork of collagen, elastic tissue, and reticular fibres-with many connective tissue cells in between the meshwork of fibres. The fibres that form the mesh structure of areolar tissue include:


What is an areolar tissue?
Areolar tissue binds skin to the muscles beneath. This loose connective tissue also forms a link between organs-while also enabling a high degree of movement between adjacent body parts. The key functions of areolar tissue can be summarised as providing: 1  Support. 2  Strength, and. 3  Elasticity.


What is areolar tissue?
A type of loose connective tissue, areolar tissue forms delicate, thin membranes throughout the body. The cells of this tissue, mainly fibroblasts, are located some distance apart and are separate by a gel-like extracellular matrix containing many collagenous and elastic fibers that fibroblasts secrete.


-
Of the three types of fibers in areolar connective tissue, only collagen is visible in this image. The other two types of fibers, elastic and reticular, do not show up in this image, even though they are there. Some of the dark dots in the images are the nuclei of areolar connective tissue cells.


-
Areolar tissue is found in many locations around the body. One important area is the skin (areolar tissue is found in both the dermis and sub-cutaneous layers of the skin-see diagram). The areolar tissue located in the skin binds the outer layers of the skin to the muscles beneath.


What is an areolar tissue?
Areolar tissue is highly variable in appearance. In many serous membranes, it appears as a loose arrangement of collagenous and elastic fibers, scattered cells of various types; abundant ground substance; numerous blood vessels. http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/... Cardial areolar tissue is the fibrous pericardial layer that protects the heart and holds it in place by attaching it to the walls of the chest cavity. http://www.livestrong.com/areolar-tissue... Additional research says much the same for the stomach.


Where is areolar tissue located?
Areolar tissue is found in many locations around the body. One important area is the skin (areolar tissue is found in both the dermis and sub-cutaneous layers of the skin. The areolar tissue located in the skin binds the outer layers of the skin to the muscles beneath. Areolar tissue is also found in or around mucous membranes, and around blood vessels, nerves, and the organs of the body. Through out the human body-it keeps your skin from hanging loosely.


-
Areolar connective tissue has no obvious structure, like layers or rows of cells. You might think that this would make it harder to identify. But if you realize that the lack of pattern is one of the distinguishing characteristics of. areolar connective tissue, you have learned a cue that will allow you to recognize it. Areolar connective tissue is made of cells and extracellular matrix (extra- means outside, so the extracellular matrix is material that is outside of the cells). The matrix has two components, fibers and ground substance. In the images on this page, you can see the fibers very easily--they look like threads.


What is areolar tissue?
Areolar tissue also binds the skin to the underlying organs and fills spaces between muscles. It lies beneath most layers of epithelium, where its many blood vessels nourish epithelial cells.

With today's modern water delivery systems, pressure regulator valves are a necessity. In fact, most municipalities require them. The pressure on a water system is directly proportionate to the number of houses serviced. In order to maintain adequate pressure throughout the entire system, a massive amount of pressure is needed. Without some sort of regulator, the pressure would be such as to cause serious problems to plumbing and appliances. Any pressure exceeding 80 psi â pounds per square inch â can damage such appliances as water heaters, commodes, faucets, dishwashers. A high enough pressure can even cause water pipes to burst. A water pressure regulator is typically installed by a plumbing contractor and is ideally set from 45 to 60 psi. Regulators are adjustable to accommodate the needs to different homes. This procedure is fairly simple and the average homeowner can usually accomplish this himself.

Therefore, when pressure regulators save 1/3 of the metered water, they also contribute to saving up to 1/3 of the wastewater Icad and this is extremely important because it benefits both the user, by a lower sewer bill, and the community, as this is water they do not have to treat.


-
Note the illustration where almost twice as much water flows at 150 lbs. than 50 lbs., most of which is wasted. Moderate savings would result if your supply pressure was 65 lbs. However, even at this lower pressure, savings with a regulator would be 20%.

I love this duvet. I have a California king bed and it covers it with more than enough as an overflow. My only complaint is that I cannot find a california king size feather bed or anything to go inside but it still is a great duvet!!. Very satisfied with this product.

Love that the shams are king sized, it can be hard to find king duvet sets where the shams are also for king sized pillows for some reason. Fantastic price! This Duvet cover was just what I was looking for. I searched high and low for a true California king.

This duvet is large enough to hang over each side of my king size bed so you don't see the sheets! It is a beautiful color. A previous person mentioned a silver color which I do see when you look at it in different angles but I feel like it is very pretty and adds a touch of sparkle!

Filtration. Filtration is the mass movement of water and solutes from plasma to the renal tubule that occurs in the renal corpuscle. About 20% of the plasma volume passing through the glomerulus at any given time is filtered. This means that about 180 liters of fluid are filtered by the kidneys every day.

Filtration is the mass movement of water and solutes from plasma to the renal tubule that occurs in the renal corpuscle. About 20% of the plasma volume passing through the glomerulus at any given time is filtered. This means that about 180 liters of fluid are filtered by the kidneys every day.


In the kidney, where is the site of filtrate formation found in the nephron?
Best Answer: Ultrafiltration; The glomerulus is the main filter of the nephron and is located within the Bowman's capsule. The glomerulus resembles a twisted mass of tiny tubes through which the blood passes.


In the kidney, where is the site of filtrate formation found in the nephron?
The filtered blood passes out of the glomerulus into the efferent arteriole to be returned through the medullary plexus to the intralobular vein. Bowman's Capsule The Bowman's capsule contains the primary filtering device of the nephron, the glomerulus.


In the kidney, where is the site of filtrate formation found in the nephron?
Within the capsule, the blood is filtered through the glomerulus and then passes out via the efferent arteriole. Meanwhile, the filtered water and aqueous wastes are passed out of the Bowman's capsule into the proximal convoluted tubule. http://coe.fgcu.edu/faculty/greenep/kidn...

Best Answer: Ultrafiltration; The glomerulus is the main filter of the nephron and is located within the Bowman's capsule.


What is the structure of the nephron and what is the process involved in the formation of urine?
Reabsorbtion. Occuring more commonly within the nephron system than filtration, this is a form of active transport which takes the the useful substances for the body from the tubules and places them back into the blood filled capillaries.

What does a CIO do, anyway?
Mega-yawn. CIOs fill a very important role, itâs just no one knows what. Well, todayâs podcast will outline the four things you want from your CIO (and probably donât get). CIOs have popped up everywhere in the last 15 years. But what does a CIO do? Hereâs my take. First, CIOs say âNoâ to advances in technology. Techies love toys. They do. Itâs how theyâre wired. Theyâll want the latest and greatest, believing New means Better. The Chief Information Officerâs job is to push back. New technology doesnât necessarily make things easier or cheaper; sometimes new technology doesnât even work. The CIO must ensure new technology will really make things things more efficient.


Do Companies Still Need a CIO? Introducing the IT Services Supermarket
Twenty years ago the IT Function headed by the CIO was in the business of developing applications for the business. User departments made requests and then got in the queue -- that was sometimes years long. IT managers also worked on developing infrastructure. The IT Function has been under duress for many years.


-
So to recap, a CIO has four duties: Saying No to technology that doesnât have a business rationale. Linking technology to internal strategic capabilities. Linking technology to external strategic products and services. Forecasting how technology will change competition, and adapting the business so it continues to thrive.

Chief information officer. Chief insights officer (CIO), chief digital information officer (CDIO) or information technology (IT) director, is a job title commonly given to the most senior executive in an enterprise responsible for the information technology and computer systems that support enterprise goals.

So to recap, a CIO has four duties: 1  Saying No to technology that doesnât have a business rationale. 2  Linking technology to internal strategic capabilities. 3  Linking technology to external strategic products and services. 4  Forecasting how technology will change competition, and adapting the business so it continues to thrive.


What does a CIO do, anyway?
The CIO also insures financial responsibility. Just because something saves money doesnât mean you buy a new one each year. Imagine a car with greater gas than your current car. If you bought that new car for an extra $5,000.00, you must drive it enough so you actually get the $5,000.00 savings. If you replace it yearly, you never get enough savings to justify the purchase. The CIO must keep tech purchases making business sense: There must be a business case for purchases. The technology must be around long enough to realize the savings.


Do Companies Still Need a CIO? Introducing the IT Services Supermarket
They need an enterprise strategy for collaboration tools and systems to cut across business silos. They need to have elite IT talent to deal with the many complexities of becoming a digital business. There is a solution to this dilemma. A new model of the IT function is emerging, and one that makes the CIO more important than ever.


What does a CIO do, anyway?
A CIO job description. For a CEO job description, see my article on CEO job descriptions. For a podcast of this article, see my Podcast entry. What does a Chief Information Officer do, anyway? Most of the descriptions Iâve heard make them sound like a glorified purchaser. âThey make sure our systems are up to date.â Mega-yawn.


Do Companies Still Need a CIO? Introducing the IT Services Supermarket
Here's how it works: The CIO anticipates business needs and provisions a rich supply of services, from standards for mobile devices to architecture compliant applications and cloud services -- all in the shelves of a supermarket.

Tony Scott, former CIO at both Microsoft and Disney and now the CIO at IT services company VMware in Silicon Valley, views this trend as a good thing overall. In the old days you had to go to a travel agent because they were the only people who understood the industry. Today you can do that yourself using a rich selection of services, he says.

What is an SrA in the United States Air Force? SrA is the United States Air Force abbreviation for the rank of Senior Airman. A senior airman is a junior enlisted person serving in the pay grade of E-4. A senior airman is still learning to be an expert in their career field, and preparing to make the transition from junior enlisted member to non-commissioned officer.

Cerebellum
On gross inspection, three lobes can be distinguished in the cerebellum: the flocculonodular lobe, the anterior lobe (rostral to the primary fissure), and the posterior lobe (dorsal to the primary fissure). The latter two can be further divided in a midline cerebellar vermis and lateral cerebellar hemispheres.

1 The brain makes up about 2 percent of a human's body weight. 2  The cerebrum makes up 85 percent of the brain's weight. 3  It contains about 86 billion nerve cells (neurons), the gray matter.


Human Brain: Facts, Functions & Anatomy
The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right, connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. The hemispheres are strongly, though not entirely, symmetrical. The left brain controls all the muscles on the right-hand side of the body; and the right brain controls the left side.


Anatomy of the cerebellum
The anatomy of the cerebellum can be viewed at three levels. At the level of large-scale anatomy, the cerebellum consists of a tightly folded and crumpled layer of cortex, with white matter underneath, several deep nuclei embedded in the white matter, and a fluid-filled ventricle in the middle.


Human Brain: Facts, Functions & Anatomy
Facts about the human brain. 1  The human brain is the largest brain of all vertebrates relative to body size. 2  It weighs about 3.3 pounds (1.5 kilograms). 3  The brain makes up about 2 percent of a human's body weight.


Anatomy of the cerebellum
Because of its large number of tiny granule cells, the cerebellum contains more neurons than the rest of the brain put together, but it only takes up 10% of total brain volume. The cerebellum receives nearly 200 million input fibers; in contrast, the optic nerve is composed of a mere one million fibers.

Cerebellum
At the intermediate level, the cerebellum and its auxiliary structures can be decomposed into several hundred or thousand independently functioning modules or microzones. At the microscopic level, each module consists of the same small set of neuronal elements, laid out with a highly stereotyped geometry.


Cerebellum
The cerebellum can also be divided in three parts based on both phylogenetic criteria (the evolutionary age of each part) and on functional criteria (the incoming and outgoing connections each part has and the role played in normal cerebellar function).


Human Brain: Facts, Functions & Anatomy
Between the cerebrum and brainstem lie the thalamus and hypothalamus. The thalamus relays sensory and motor signals to the cortex and is involved in regulating consciousness, sleep and alertness. The hypothalamus connects the nervous system to the endocrine system â where hormones are produced â via the pituitary gland.

4.2 Types of Nonverbal Communication
The placement of objects and furniture in a physical space can help create a formal, distant, friendly, or intimate climate. In terms of formality, we can use nonverbal communication to convey dominance and status, which helps define and negotiate power and roles within relationships. Fancy cars and expensive watches can serve as symbols that distinguish a CEO from an entry-level employee.


Chronemics
However, such systems are not applied to human interaction directly. Chronemics can be defined as the interrelated observations and theories of man's use of time as a specialized elaboration of culture - the way in which one perceives and values time, structures time, and reacts to time frames communication.

1 Getting integrated: Many people do not think of time as an important part of our nonverbal communication. 2  Provide an example of how chronemics sends nonverbal messages in academic settings, professional settings, and personal settings.


Chronemics
Dr. Thomas J. Bruneau of Radford University coined the term chronemics in the late 1970s to help define the function of time in human interaction: Chronemics can be briefly and generally defined as the study of human tempo as it related to human communication. More specifically, chronemics involves the study of both subjective and objective human tempos as they influence and are interdependent with human behavior.


Chapter 4 Nonverbal Communication
Â© Thinkstock. Last, the environment in which we interact affects our verbal and nonverbal communication. This is included because we can often manipulate the nonverbal environment similar to how we would manipulate our gestures or tone of voice to suit our communicative needs.


Definitions &Translations
Chronemics. Chronemics is the study of the use of time in nonverbal communication. The way that an individual would perceive and value time, structure our time and react to time is a powerful communication tool, and helps set the stage for the communication process. Across cultures, time perception plays a large role in the nonverbal communication process. Time perceptions include punctuality, willingness to wait, and interactions. The use of time can affect lifestyles, daily agendas, speed of speech, movements and how long people are willing to listen. Time can also be used as an indicator of status.

Lake Erie
Water levels. Lake Erie has a lake retention time of 2.6 years, the shortest of all the Great Lakes. The lake's surface area is 9,910 square miles (25,667 km2). Lake Erie's water level fluctuates with the seasons as in the other Great Lakes.


Wind Factors
How Wind Affects Trout. Few fish are as susceptible to the whims of the wind as trout. When a breeze ripples the surface, hungry browns, rainbows, and lake trout gorge on baitfish and other sustenance in surprisingly shallow water. Few fish are affected by wind as trout.

Lake Erie
It is the southernmost, shallowest, and smallest by volume of the Great Lakes and therefore also has the shortest average water residence time. At its deepest point Lake Erie is 210 feet (64 metres) deep.


-
Lake Erie's northern shore is bounded by the Canadian province of Ontario, with the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York on its southern and easternmost shores and Michigan on the west. These jurisdictions divide the surface area of the lake by water boundaries.

Wind Factors
The amount of deflection depends on the size of the lake, with a max of about 45 degrees occurring on the high seas and massive inland waters. Deflection also increases with wind speed up to about 14 to 18 mph. Wave action often attracts baitfish and triggers bass, walleyes, and other gamefish to feed in shallow water.


How to Beat Level 169 of Candy Crush Saga
Level 169 of Candy Crush Saga can be beaten. But Level 169 is actually a very tricky level in Candy Crush Saga because it is covered with chocolate factories that generate chocolate mercilessly.The combinations are not easy to create, especially the colour bombs, because of the six candy colours on the screen as well as the small and thin size of the game board.aking of the colour bombs is possibly the hardest thing at this level, because of the number of candy colours on the screen. So whenever you get one, try your best to get a striped candy next to it and clear this particular combination from your list.

Feline Acromegaly
Feline acromegaly is an endocrine disease caused by chronic, excess secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. It is a slowly progressive disease that affects many organ systems and nearly always results in diabetes mellitus that is difficult to control with standard insulin therapy regimes.


What causes acromegaly?
Acromegaly is the result of too much growth hormone in the body. In most cases, a benign tumor on the pituitary gland causes the body to produce extra growth hormone. However, sometimes, tumors in other parts of the body can secrete hormones that trigger an excessive release of growth hormone, too.


What causes acromegaly?
Secretion of GH by the pituitary into the bloodstream stimulates the liver to produce another hormone called insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). IGF-I is what actually causes tissue growth in the body. High levels of IGF-I, in turn, signal the pituitary to reduce GH production.


-
Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that results from too much growth hormone (GH) in the body. The pituitary, a small gland in the brain, makes GH. In acromegaly, the pituitary produces excessive amounts of GH. Usually the excess GH comes from benign, or noncancerous, tumors on the pituitary.


What causes acromegaly?
Acromegaly is caused by the prolonged overproduction of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland. The pituitary produces several important hormones that control body functions such as growth and development, reproduction, and metabolism. But hormones never seem to act simply and directly.


Feline Acromegaly
In the feline patient, the most common cause of acromegaly is a tumor of the cells that produce GH. The cells that produce and secrete GH are called somatotrophs, and the tumor that arises from these cells is termed a somatrophic adenoma.


Acromegaly
Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that results when the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone (GH). It most commonly affects middle-aged adults and can result in serious illness and premature death.


Difference Between Gigantism and Acromegaly
Gigantism and acromegaly are two disorders with the same disease mechanism and somewhat similar presentations. Even though they have the same disease mechanism, the two have entirely different outcome simply due to the age of onset. Gigantism is the result if the disease mechanism starts in childhood.


Acromegaly Definition and History
Acromegaly is caused by prolonged overproduction of Growth Hormone by the pituitary gland. The pituitary is a small gland at the base of the brain that produces several important hormones to control body functions such as growth and development, reproduction, and metabolism.

Artemisinin
Artesunate is now recommended by the WHO for treatment of all cases of severe malaria. Effective treatment with ACT (Artemisinin Combination Therapy) has proven to lower the morbidity and mortality from malaria within two years by around 70%.


Artemisinin
Chemically, artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone containing an unusual peroxide bridge. This peroxide is believed to be responsible for the drug's mechanism of action. Few other natural compounds with such a peroxide bridge are known.


-
Artemisinin, also known as qinghao su (Chinese: éè¿ç´ ), and its semi-synthetic derivatives are a group of drugs that possess the most rapid action of all current drugs against Plasmodium falciparum malaria.


-
The rationale for combining chemotherapeutic agents is founded on the knowledge that single-agent regimens often result in drug resistant recurrence. Tumors usually consist of mixed populations of malignant cells, some of which are drug-sensitive while others are drug-resistant.


Part 3 â Suggested foods and supplements
However, evidence supporting the benefit of combination therapy is mixed. In the case of breast cancer, an analysis of 12 trials, involving 2317 randomized women, compared the effect of combination chemotherapy to the same drugs given sequentially in women with metastatic breast cancer.


-
The number of cycles vary by type of cancer, the cytotoxic drugs used, and the patientâs response to therapy. Combination therapy regimens may be documented by acronym, e.g. CAF (Cyclophosphamide + AdriamycinÂ® (Doxorubicin)+ Fluorouracil) is a combination regimen used to treat HER2-negative breast cancer.


-
An important example of this mechanism is the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family of proteins. This sytem is activated when a drug binds to the transporter protein. ATP changes the conformation of the transporter which pushes the drug out of the cell.


Artemisinin
Therapies that combine artemisinin or its derivatives with some other antimalarial drug are the preferred treatment for malaria and are both effective and well tolerated in patients. The drug is also increasingly being used in Plasmodium vivax malaria, as well as being a topic of research in cancer treatment.


-
Principles used to select drugs for inclusion in combination chemotherapy regimens: 1  Drugs known to be active as single agents should be selected for combinations.  Drugs with different mechanisms of action should be combined in order to allow for additive or synergistic effects on the tumor.


Artemisinin
Artemisinin and its endoperoxides derivatives have been used for the treatment of P. falciparum related infections but low bioavailability, poor pharmacokinetic properties and high cost of the drugs are a major drawback of their use.


Phenotype
A phenotype results from the expression of an organism's genes as well as the influence of environmental factors and the interactions between the two. When two or more clearly different phenotypes exist in the same population of a species, the species is called polymorph.


Genotype
Here the relation between genotype and phenotype is illustrated, using a Punnett square, for the character of petal colour in pea. The letters B and b represent genes for colour and the pictures show the resultant flowers.


Chapter 2: Genetic Causes of Behavior
As the number of mendelian factors increase, and as more of the phenotype is determined by environment, the distribution of many traits resembles a normal distribution. The inheritance pattern of such polygenic traits is succinctly described by a simple parameter known as heritability.


Chapter 2: Genetic Causes of Behavior
Likewise, in the case of underdominance, knowledge of genotype does not allow us to predict the value of the phenotype with any confidence. There is no slope to the regression line so none of the variation is due to additive genetic effects of alleles.


Chapter 2: Genetic Causes of Behavior
Introduction to Genetic Terms and Mendelian Traits. When we search for the proximate factors for behavioral causes, we naturally start with genes. When the fusion of sperm and egg produces a zygote, the stage is set for a cascade of developmental events that lead to the production of the phenotype.


Chapter 2: Genetic Causes of Behavior
However, the environment can interact with genetic causes in interesting ways. In particular, the genotype can be relatively fixed (e.g., little variation among individuals), but the genetic machinery of development can still allow the phenotype to develop into alternative types.


Phenotype
Although a phenotype is the ensemble of observable characteristics displayed by an organism, the word phenome is sometimes used to refer to a collection of traits, while the simultaneous study of such a collection is referred to as phenomics.


Chapter 2: Genetic Causes of Behavior
We will end our discussion of genetics on the importance of environmental factors. Up to this point in our consideration of the genetic causes of behavior, we have treated the environment as if it were some random factor that obscures the genetic transmission of behavior.


-
These can be effects on the organism in which the gene resides, the environment, or other organisms. The term extended phenotype was first coined in 1978. For instance, a beaver dam might be considered a phenotype of beaver genes, the same way beavers' powerful incisor teeth are phenotype expressions of their genes.


Phenotype
A phenotype (from Greek phainein, meaning to show, and typos, meaning type) is the composite of an organism 's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, phenology, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest).


refraction
Refraction occurs when a wave passes from one medium to another and is bent; that is, the wave deviates from the straight-line path it would have otherwise followed. For example, light passing through a prism is bent when it enters the prism and again when it leaves the prism. The light is therefore refracted.


refraction
The light is therefore reflected. The boundary between the media does not have to be abrupt for reflection or refraction to occur. On a hot day, the air over the surface of an asphalt road is warmer than the air above it. Because light travels at different speeds in these two regions, we see an image that shimmers because its light waves are refracted.


What Is a Refraction Test and Why Wonât Medicare Cover It?
Unfortunately, Medicare considers this a routine test and therefore does not approve it making it a non-covered service. Since Medicare doesnât cover it, many commercial insurance companies follow suit and also consider it a non-covered service.


refraction
1. The bending or turning of a wave, such as a light or sound wave, when it passes from one medium to another medium of different density. See more at wave. Compare reflection. 2. The apparent change in position of a celestial body caused by the bending of light as it enters the Earth's atmosphere.


What is a refraction test?
A refraction test is usually given as part of a routine eye examination. It may also be called a vision test. This test tells your eye doctor exactly what prescription you need in your glasses or contact lenses. Normally, a value of 20/20 is considered to be optimum, or perfect vision.


Refraction of Light
Refraction is responsible for image formation by lenses and the eye. As the speed of light is reduced in the slower medium, the wavelength is shortened proportionately.


Refraction of Light
Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different. The refraction of light when it passes from a fast medium to a slow medium bends the light ray toward the normal to the boundary between the two media.


Refraction of Light
Index of Refraction. The index of refraction is defined as the speed of light in vacuum divided by the speed of light in the medium. The indices of refraction of some common substances are given below with a more complete description of the indices for optical glasses given elsewhere.


Newton and the color spectrum: dispersive refraction
It is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum (c) to the speed of light in this medium (v): n = c / v. The bending of a light as it crosses the boundary into a different medium is determined by its refractive index, or how much the light is slowed down in the new medium. We see objects breaking at the boundary between media of different density because of refraction. Light rays are bent, or refracted, because light travels at different speeds in different media. Unless the light ray meets the boundary at exactly 90Â°, the direction of travel will change and the light ray is bent..


What is a refraction test?
If you do not have 20/20 vision, you have what is called a refractive error. A refractive error means that the light is not bending properly when it passes through the cornea and retina of your eye. The refraction test will tell your doctor what prescription you should use in order to have 20/20 vision.


Guide to central disc protrusion
The symptoms of a central disc protrusion that interferes with a nerve root can include: 1  Muscle weakness. 2  Radiating or traveling pain along the nerve. 3  The sensation of heat or pins and needles. 4  Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, legs or feet.


-
1 Central disc protrusion â the bulge occurs at the posterior, toward the center of the spinal canal, where the spinal cord is located. 2  Paracentral disc protrusion â the bulge occurs toward the center right or center left of the midline of the spinal canal, where the spinal cord and nerve roots are located.


-
Central disc protrusion is a type of spinal disc disorder that can result in neck or back pain, as well as other symptoms due to nerve irritation.


Lumbar Disc Herniation: General Information?
Disc Extrusion: easier for surgeons and the body to handle. There is no question that if you had to have a disc herniation, a disc extrusion greater than 8 mm in size, with an associated with a narrow annular tear, would be your pick.


Lumbar Disc Herniation: General Information?
Lumbar interbody fusion, which is a very invasive (destructive) procedure, typically involves the surgical removal of the disc herniation, annular tear and entire nucleus pulposus, which in turn is thought to eliminate the sources of chronic back and leg pain associated with disc herniation.


Lumbar Disc Herniation: General Information?
Figure 1 is a disc-level cut through the L4/5 motion segment that demonstrates a large disc herniation (purple stuff outside of the disc) that was big enough compress both the exiting and traversing nerve roots. Note the posterior displacement (moving) of the left traversing nerve root.


Lumbar Disc Herniation: General Information?
It is believed that the channel between the center and periphery of the disc, which is called an annular tear, is responsible for the low back pain associated with disc herniation. [32,80] (figure 3) (Learn more about annular tears). Figure 3 is an axial view through the disc-level of the lumbar motion segment.


-
1 Posterolateral disc protrusion â the bulge occurs to the back and left or right side of the spinal canal, where nerve roots branch off the spinal cord. 2  Lateral disc protrusion â the bulge occurs to the left or right of the spinal canal, where nerve roots branch off the spinal cord.


Lumbar Disc Herniation: General Information?
A disc sequestration (or a sequestered disc) occurs when a piece of the disc extrusion breaks loose and moves away to a new location, somewhere within the epidural space. Figure 6 is an axial view through the disc-level of a motion segment that demonstrates a disc sequestration.


-
In the case of a central disc protrusion, the disc bulges directly posterior to its normal position and into the center of the spinal canal where the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots are located.
