Characteristic of alkali metals have single electron in their external shell, which is freely bound.


Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals
The periodic table showing: metals in most of the left and centre; metalloids in a narrow diagonal band; nonmetals in the right, and hydrogen. The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties. All metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metals; and have at least one basic oxide.

History of cannon
Similar cannon were also used at the Siege of Calais, in the same year, although it was not until the 1380s that the ribaudekin clearly became mounted on wheels. The first cannon appeared in Russia around 1380, though they were used only in sieges, often by the defenders.


Thomas Crapper: Inventor of the Flush Toilet?
Although Flushed with Pride is, like Bust-Up, a tongue-in-cheek work full of puns, jokes, and exaggerations, Reyburn did not invent the person of Thomas Crapper (as he did with putative brassiere-maker Otto Titzling). In Flushed with Pride, Reyburnâs satire rests on the framework of a real manâs life.


Thomas Crapper: Inventor of the Flush Toilet?
Thomas Crapper took out nine plumbing patents between 1881 and 1896, but none of these patents was for the âvalveless water-waste preventerâ he is often credited with having invented. The first patent for a siphonic flush was taken out by Joseph Adamson in 1853, eight years before Crapper started his plumbing business.


Double Barrel Cannon
The double barrel cannon would never be adopted by the Confederate army, but that doesn't mean it never saw battle... Active Duty! Upon its return the gun was placed in front of the town hall to be used as a signal gun in case of attack.


History of cannon
Prior to the invention of the cannon, projectile weapons existed using compressed air and steam. The invention of the cannon, driven by gunpowder, was first developed in China. Like firearms, cannon are a descendant of the fire-lance, a gunpowder-filled tube used as a flamethrower.


Double Barrel Cannon
GILLELAND has invented a double-barrelled cannon for throwing chain shot, which has been tested and found to work satisfactorily. Two shots are confined to the end of a chain and one placed in each barrel of the gun, the bores of which diverge slightly, and cause the balls to separate the full length of the chain - cutting down everything in their path.


History of cannon
History of cannon. The history of the cannon spans several hundred years. The cannon was invented in China as early as the 12th century and traces its development from the fire lance, the ancestor of cannons and firearms. They were among the earliest forms of gunpowder artillery, and over time replaced siege enginesâamong other forms of aging weaponryâon the battlefield. Their use was first documented in the Middle East in the 13th century, and the first cannon in Europe were probably used in Iberia ...


Thomas Crapper: Inventor of the Flush Toilet?
Thomas Crapper is an elusive figure: Most people familiar with his name know him as a celebrated figure in Victorian England, an ingenious plumber who invented the modern flush toilet; others believe him to be nothing more than a hoax, the whimsical creation of a satirical writer.

History of cannon
One of the earliest rifled cannon was the Armstrong gunâalso invented by William George Armstrongâwhich boasted significantly improved range, accuracy, and power than earlier weapons. The projectile fired from the Armstrong gun could reportedly pierce through a ship's side, and explode inside the enemy vessel, causing increased damage, and casualties.

Split and merge into it. Answer by JEK. Confidence votes 13.1K. The filtrate is the liquid that is left after you filter something -- the liquid that is now missing the solid that was filtered out. For instance, if you are making drip coffee, it is the coffee beverage (the coffee grinds are called the  filtrand ). Answer   A filtration residue is the solid substance left in the filter media(filter paper, sponge, activated charcoal, etc.)... Whenever filtration occurs when th â¦ e solid substance is separated from the liquid the recovered liquid is called filtrate while the recovered solid is called residue or precipitate.

Filtration
Filtration is the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid, by causing the latter to pass through the pores of some substance, called a filter. The liquid which has passed through the filter is called the filtrate.The filter may be paper, cloth, cotton-wool, asbestos, slag-or glass-wool, unglazed earthenware, sand, or other porous material. Filtration is very frequently employed in chemical technology, and it often presents great difficulties.r the filtrate may be drawn upwards through the filter, which is suspended in the liquid to be filtered; thus clogging does not occur so easily, as a large part of the precipitate settles to the bottom of the vessel and does not come in contact with the filter until most of the liquid has been drawn off.

What is the function of the glomerulus?
The Bowman's capsule empties the filtrate into the proximal tubule that is also part of the nephron. A glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation.Redirected from Glomerular filtrate). A glomerulus is a network (as a tuft) of capillaries located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. It serves as the first stage in the filtering process of the blood carried out by the nephron in its formation of urine.


How Your Kidneys Work
The filtrate is composed of water, ions (sodium, potassium, chloride), glucose and small proteins (less than 30,000 daltons -- a dalton is a unit of molecular weight). The rate of filtration is approximately 125 ml/min or 45 gallons (180 liters) each day.he filtrate is composed of water, ions (sodium, potassium, chloride), glucose and small proteins (less than 30,000 daltons -- a dalton is a unit of molecular weight).

(Unfortunately, there are special cases where calculating the partial derivatives is hard.) As these examples show, calculating a partial derivatives is usually just like calculating an ordinary derivative of one-variable calculus. You just have to remember with which variable you are taking the derivative.

Partial derivatives are the slopes of traces. The partial derivative is the slope of the trace of for the plane at the point . Likewise the partial derivative is the slope of the trace of for the plane at the point . Example 2 Find the slopes of the traces to at the point .


Time
To do this investigation, you would use the concept of a partial derivative. Let the temperature $T$ depend on variables $x$ and $y$, $T = f(x,y)$. The rate of change of $f$ with respect to $x$ (holding $y$ constant) is called the partial derivative of $f$ with respect to $x$ and is denoted by $f_{x}(x,y)$. Similarly, the rate of change of $f$ with respect to $y$ is called the partial derivative of $f$ with respect to $y$ and is denoted by $f_{y}(x,y)$.


Derivative
Example partial derivative by limit definintion. The partial derivative of a function $f(x,y)$ at the origin is illustrated by the red line that is tangent to the graph of $f$ in the $x$ direction. The partial derivative $\pdiff{f}{x}(0,0)$ is the slope of the red line.


-
Then, the partial derivative $\displaystyle \pdiff{f}{x}(x,y)$ is the same as the ordinary derivative of the function $g(x)=b^3x^2$. Using the rules for ordinary differentiation, we know that \begin{align*} \diff{g}{x}(x) = 2b^3x.

-
Recall that the partial derivative of $f(x,y)$ with respect to $x$ at the point $(a,b)$ is the same thing as the ordinary derivative of the function $g(x)=f(x,b)$: \begin{align*} \pdiff{f}{x}(a,b) = g'(a). \end{align*} (Here we think of $b$ as just a constant.) We illustrate this graphically as follows.


Derivative
For a function of two independent variables, f (x, y), the partial derivative of f. with respect to x can be found by applying all the usual rules of. differentiation. The only exception is that, whenever and wherever the. second variable y appears, it is treated as a constant in every respect. The.


-
The partial derivative $f_{x}(x_{0},y_{0})$ measures the change in $z$ per unit increase in $x$ along this curve. That is, $f_{x}(x_{0},y_{0})$ is just the slope of the curve at $(x_{0},y_{0})$. The geometrical interpretation of $f_{y}(x_{0},y_{0})$ is analogous.

Inside the brain acetylcholine functions as a neuromodulator âa chemical that alters the way other brain structures process information rather than a chemical used to transmit information from point to point. The brain contains a number of cholinergic areas, each with distinct functions.4) Acetylcholine binds to postsynaptic receptors. (5) This binding causes ion channels to open and allows sodium ions to flow into the muscle cell. (6) The flow of sodium ions across the membrane into the muscle cell generates an action potential which induces muscle contraction.

Acetylcholine has functions both in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and in the central nervous system (CNS) as a neuromodulator. In the peripheral nervous system, acetylcholine activates muscles, and is a major neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system.4) Acetylcholine binds to postsynaptic receptors. (5) This binding causes ion channels to open and allows sodium ions to flow into the muscle cell. (6) The flow of sodium ions across the membrane into the muscle cell generates an action potential which induces muscle contraction.

Acetylcholine
Drugs that act on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, such at atropine, can be poisonous in large quantities, but in smaller doses they are commonly used to treat certain heart conditions and eye problems. Scopolamine, which acts mainly on muscarinic receptors in the brain, can cause delirium and amnesia.4) Acetylcholine binds to postsynaptic receptors.

(6) The flow of sodium ions across the membrane into the muscle cell generates an action potential which induces muscle contraction.


Acetylcholine
The acetylcholine molecules then bind to nicotinic ion-channel receptors on the muscle cell membrane, causing the ion channels to open. Sodium ions then flow into the muscle cell, initiating a sequence of steps that finally produce muscle contraction.4) Acetylcholine binds to postsynaptic receptors.

The key function of nicotinic receptor proteins is to trigger rapid neural and neuromuscular transmissions. For those interested in learning about the molecular physiology of nicotinic receptors, the subject is discussed as optional reading below.


Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor
Another role for these receptors is at the junction of the innervated tissue and the postganglionic neuron in the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. Here acetylcholine is again used as a neurotransmitter, and muscarinic receptors form the principal receptors on the innervated tissue.heir counterparts are nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), receptor ion channels that are also important in the autonomic nervous system.


Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor
Muscarinic acetylcholine are also present and distributed throughout the central nervous system, in post-synaptic and pre-synaptic positions. There is also some evidence for postsynaptic receptors on sympathetic neurons allowing the parasympathetic nervous system to inhibit sympathetic effects.heir counterparts are nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), receptor ion channels that are also important in the autonomic nervous system.

Killer whale attacks on humans
However, wild orcas are not considered a real threat to humans, as there are few documented cases of wild orcas attacking people, and no fatal encounters. In captivity, however, there have been several non-fatal and fatal attacks on humans since the 1970s.iller whales (or orcas) are powerful predators capable of killing prey much larger than humans, such as leopard seals and great white sharks. They have also been recorded preying on usually terrestrial species such as moose swimming between islands.

NOTE: Charles Darwin was an active collector of plant and animal specimens and a prodigious note taker on the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle. By the time the ship returned to England in 1836, he had accumulated 5,436 plant and animal specimens that had been dried or preserved in alcohol.


Darwinâs Finches
The history of evolutionary biology really begins in 1859, with the publication of Charles Darwinâs On the Origin of Species (Ridley, 1996). Darwin challenged the views of early evolutionary biologists that believed in species fixity and transformism.

Darwin and Natural Selection. Most educated people in Europe and the Americas during the 19th century had their first full exposure to the concept of evolution through the writings of Charles Darwin. Clearly, he did not invent the idea. That happened long before he was born.


Darwinâs Finches
None seemed more intriguing than the Galapagos Islands. However, Darwin did not realize the impact that the small birds of the island would have on modern evolution. During his five-week stay (Weiner, 1994), Darwin only collected a small number of finches and failed to label the island on which they were found.


Darwinâs Finches
Darwinâs Finches A major task for biologists is to explain organic diversity in terms of evolutionary principles: to explain why so many different types of species have arisen, and why they vary so much in form, function, and behavior (Grant, 1986).

Charles Darwin was born into a moderately wealthy family in Shrewsbury, England. His father, Robert, had the largest medical practice outside of London at the time and his mother, Susannah Wedgwood, was from a family of wealthy pottery manufacturers.

Darwinâs Finches
It is believed that all of Darwinâs Finches are descendants of a common ancestral finch that colonized the Galapagos Islands after flight from South or Central America. Because of the relative youth of the islands, this event probably occurred in the last 4.5 million years.


Darwinâs Finches
Darwin was the first person to record the finchesâ habits, and question their origin, evolution, and variation. However, Darwin did not provide a detailed explanation for the evolution of the finches. He only studied nine specimens, and in fact, only classified six as species of finches (Grant, 1986).


-
On returning to England, Darwin and an ornithologist associate identified 13 species of finches that he had collected on the GalÃ¡pagos Islands. This was puzzling since he knew of only one species of this bird on the mainland of South America, nearly 600 miles to the east, where they had all presumably originated.


Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)

Within this particular index annuity, for example, your money can only go up; it cannot go down. In the long run I would rather have $21,000 after two years in my index annuity than just $17,600 in my S&P index fund. That is why the index annuity does not credit you with 100% of the return.


-
If you transferred $100,000 to the IRA annuity at age 70 you may receive $7,000 a year, or 7% of the premium in annual income (you can get an instant calculation of the annual income on our home page). But at age 70 the RMD table calls for only a 3.5% annual distribution, which is just $3,500.


-
An equity-indexed annuity is different from other fixed annuities because of the way it credits interest to your annuity's value. Some fixed annuities only credit interest calculated at a rate set in the contract. Other fixed annuities also credit interest at rates set from time to time by the insurance company. Equity-indexed annuities credit interest using a formula based on changes in the index to which the annuity is linked. The formula decides how the additional interest, if any, is calculated and credited.


-
The difference between the annuity and these other investments is that in most cases, annuities carry the highest commission percentage of them all, which is why brokers love them so. Usually the fee that the person earns by selling you an annuity is around 5% to 6%.


-
The first year it went up 10%, now you would have $22,000. The next year it went down 20% now you would have only $17,600 or $2,400 under what you started with. That may make you too nervous. In many index annuities, you do not participate in any downside risk.


Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
A: Your annual required minimum distribution amount is based on your age and your total investable qualified assets. Locate the divisor number (in the RMD table on this page) for your age. Divide the total amount you have invested in qualified plans and IRA accounts (except immediate annuities) by this divisor number.


-
An annuity is a series of income payments made at regular intervals by an insurance company in return for a premium or premiums you have paid. The most frequent use of income payments from an annuity is for retirement. An annuity is neither a life insurance nor a health insurance policy. It is not a savings account or a savings certificate. You should not buy an annuity for short-term purposes.


-
Your equity-indexed annuity, like other fixed annuities, also promises to pay a minimum interest rate. The rate that will be applied will not be less than this minimum guaranteed rate even if the index-linked interest rate is lower. The value of your annuity also will not drop below a guaranteed minimum.

Studies show that, even if parents make it through the first night or two, they usually find that enforcing sleep this way is too stressful. Many parents were not able to ignore their babies long enough or consistently enough for them to stop crying and eventually fall asleep on their own.


How to Get Your Baby to Sleep Through the Night
Put your baby in his crib, say good night, and leave the room. If he starts to cry, let himâfor about 5 minutes. Then go into the room, comfort him briefly without picking him up, and leave. If he cries again, wait 10 minutes before going in, then 15 minutes, until he falls asleep.
