Thermoplastic elastomer
It was not until the 1950s, when thermoplastic polyurethane polymers became available, that TPE became a commercial reality. During the 1960s styrene block copolymer became available, and in the 1970s a wide range of TPEs came on the scene. The worldwide usage of TPEs (680,000 tons/year in 1990) is growing at about nine percent per year.


Thermoplastic elastomer
Thermoplastic elastomers show advantages typical of both rubbery materials and plastic materials. The principal difference between thermoset elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers is the type of cross-linking bond in their structures.


Polymer Compounding - Thermoplastic Rubber Compounds
TPR: Thermoplastic Rubber. S&E Specialty Polymers is a leading manufacturer of Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) Compounds that are available for a wide-range of applications. These compounds are formulated using Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) or Styrene-Ethylene/Butylene-Styrene (SEBS) block co-polymers. These materials have many of the same properties as vulcanized rubbers, but can be molded and extruded using conventional thermoplastic process equipment.

By some reports, the word samurai first appeared in the 12th century. For a long time, the samurai provided the main military force used against emishi and other clans. In the 1100s, two powerful clans served the emperor of Japan: the Taira clan, and the Minamoto clan.

Though scar tissue is made up of the same substance as undamaged skin, it looks different because of the way the fibers in the tissue are arranged. Scars form every time the skin is damaged beyond its first layer, whether that damage comes from a cut, burn, or a skin condition like acne or a fungal infection.

Keloids
What Is It? Keloids are raised overgrowths of scar tissue that occur at the site of a skin injury. They occur where trauma, surgery, blisters, vaccinations, acne or body piercing have injured the skin. Less commonly, keloids may form in places where the skin has not had a visible injury. Keloids differ from normal mature scars in composition and size.

BNSF Railway
BNSF's history dates back to 1849, when the Aurora Branch Railroad in Illinois and the Pacific Railroad of Missouri were formed. The Aurora Branch eventually grew into the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, (CB&Q), a major component of predecessor Burlington Northern.


BNSF Railway
The BNSF Railway (reporting mark BNSF) is one of the largest freight railroad networks in North America, second to the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) (its primary competitor for Western U.S. freight), and is one of seven North American Class I railroads.

The BNSF and UP have a duopoly on all transcontinental freight rail lines in the Western U.S. and share trackage rights over thousands of miles of track. According to corporate press releases, the BNSF Railway is among the top transporters of intermodal freight in North America. It also hauls bulk cargo. For instance, the railroad hauls enough coal to generate roughly ten percent of the electricity produced in the United States.


BNSF Railway
UP and BNSF announced in late September 1995 that, in exchange for BNSF not opposing the merger, it would obtain ownership of 335 miles (539 km) of line and about 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of trackage rights to reach these two-to-one shippers.

Osborne and A.R. Chase University of Florida, IFAS Central Florida Research and Education Center - Apopka 2807 Binion Road, Apopka, FL 32703-8504. CROTON. Crotons have been popular in tropical gardens for centuries, but only in recent years have they become popular indoor plants. Even the most popular croton cultivars commonly available in the U.S. through the early 1970s, such as Codiaeum variegatum `Bravo' experienced considerable leaf drop upon placement in an interior environment.


Types of Crotons
Broad Leaf. The broadleaf type is the most common type of croton. It has the largest and broadest leaves of all the croton types and the group includes the Charles Rutherford, Ben Alexander and Seminole Queen crotons. The oak leaf croton has lobed leaves that are extremely similar to those of the oak tree.

Croton Growing Instructions. Grow crotons in a bright spot: They like lots of light to produce all those colorful leaves. If your croton doesn't get enough light, you might find the plant grows tall and lanky, with few leaves that don't have deep, rich hues. Water crotons when the soil starts to dry.

Populares
Tensions between populares and optimates had increased with the Catiline conspiracy (63 BC) against the consulship of Marcus Tullius Cicero (an optimate) during which Cicero, supported by a final decree (senatus consultum ultimum) of the senate, had some of the conspirators executed without trial.


Populares
The populares are regarded in modern scholarship as in opposition to the optimates, who are identified with the conservative interests of the patricians (the aristocracy) and supported the senate, which represented its interests. The collapse of the higher class's ability to manage and govern Rome helped the populares become a party.

What is a brain aneurysm? A brain (cerebral) aneurysm is a bulging, weak area in the wall of an artery that supplies blood to the brain. In most cases, a brain aneurysm causes no symptoms and goes unnoticed. In rare cases, the brain aneurysm ruptures, releasing blood into the skull and causing a stroke. When a brain aneurysm ruptures, the result is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage.


Brain Topics
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a life-threatening type of stroke caused by bleeding into the space surrounding the brain. SAH can be caused by a ruptured aneurysm, AVM, or head injury. One-third of patients will survive with good recovery; one-third will survive with a disability; and one-third will die.


What is vasospasm and how does it relate to a brain aneurysm?
A Honor Society of Nursing (STTI) answered. Vasospasm is a spasm of the blood vessels. After a brain aneurysm ruptures, the brain's blood vessels may expand and contract rapidly. This action can restrict blood flow to the brain leading to stroke and additional brain damage.


What Is a Cerebral Vasospasm?
A cerebral vasospasm is the term used to describe when a brain artery or smaller brain blood vessels narrow. A blood vesselâs central lumen becomes narrow in response to the vessel wall contraction. This constriction prohibits blood flow.


What is vasospasm and how does it relate to a brain aneurysm?
The arteries in the brain occasionally develop a weak spot or bulge, which is called an aneurysm. The concern is that it can burst or rupture at that weak spot, causing blood to leak into the brain, a brain aneurysm hemorrhage. A rupture is very serious, often fatal or leaving permanent paralysis and disability.


Subarachnoid hemorrhage & vasospasm
Figure 1. A subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by a ruptured aneurysm. As blood fills the space between the brain and skull, a blood clot forms, causing increased pressure on the brain. Clotted blood and fluid buildup in the subarachnoid space increase pressure on the brain, which is enclosed within the rigid skull.


Overview
Complications that can develop after the rupture of an aneurysm include: Re-bleeding. An aneurysm that has ruptured or leaked is at risk of bleeding again. Re-bleeding can cause further damage to brain cells. Vasospasm. After a brain aneurysm ruptures, blood vessels in your brain may narrow erratically (vasospasm). This condition can limit blood flow to brain cells (ischemic stroke) and cause additional cell damage and loss.


Overview
Complications that can develop after the rupture of an aneurysm include: 1  Re-bleeding. An aneurysm that has ruptured or leaked is at risk of bleeding again. 2  Vasospasm. After a brain aneurysm ruptures, blood vessels in your brain may narrow erratically (vasospasm). 3  Hydrocephalus.


Complications
Delayed cerebral ischaemia. Delayed cerebral ischaemia, or vasospasm, is another serious and common complication of a subarachnoid haemorrhage. This is when the supply of blood to the brain becomes dangerously low, disrupting the normal functions of the brain and causing brain damage. It's most common a few days after the first haemorrhage.


What Is a Cerebral Vasospasm?
Although rare, cerebral vasospasm can be cause by serious brain injury from an accident. Most cerebral vasospasms occur in the Circle of Willis, a ring or circle of arteries located at the base of the brain. A cerebral vasospasm usually occurs as a result of a brain aneurysm that has ruptured.


Flexor digitorum superficialis muscle
To test flexor digitorum superficialis, one finger is flexed at the proximal interphalangeal joint against resistance, while the remaining three fingers are held fully extended (to inactivate flexor digitorum profundus).


Flexor tendon injury
Injuries to the flexor tendons can be classified by the general location of the injury. Five zones have thus been identified. The first zone is distal to the FDS insertion.


Flexor digitorum superficialis muscle
Flexor digitorum superficialis (flexor digitorum sublimis) is an extrinsic flexor muscle of the fingers at the proximal interphalangeal joints. It is in the anterior compartment of the forearm.


Flexor tendon injury
The flexor digitorum superficialis [FDS] and flexor digitorum profundus [FDP]) originate proximally in the forearm, at the medial epicondyle of the elbow. They, along with flexor pollicis longus (FPL) and the median nerve, travel through the carpal tunnel at the wrist and enter the palmar surface of the hand.


Flexor tendon injury
The lumbrical muscles do not attach to the proximal phalanx directly, but rather connect the tendons of flexor digitorum profundus (below, ie volar) to the extensor tendons (above, ie dorsal) and produce flexion by pulling on the extensor tendons as they pass over the proximal phalanx.


Flexor digitorum superficialis muscle
It is relatively common for the Flexor digitorum superficialis to be missing from the little finger, bilaterally and unilaterally, which can cause problems when diagnosing a little finger injury.


Chapter 10: The forearm
10-2 The compartments of the forearm are the anterior, for the flexors (median and ulnar nerves), and the posterior, for the extensors (radial and posterior interosseous nerves). See figure 10-1.


Flexor tendon injury
The flexor digitorum profundus and the flexor digitorum superficialis attach directly to the distal and middle phalanx respectively. These tendons are held close to the bone by a system of annular (ring-like) and cruciate (cross-forming) ligaments or pulleys.


Flexor digitorum superficialis muscle
Four long tendons come off this muscle near the wrist and travel through the carpal tunnel formed by the flexor retinaculum. These tendons, along with those of flexor digitorum profundus, are enclosed by a common flexor sheath.


Flexor tendon injury
Figure. Flexor tendons inserting on the finger. The FDS is in red, the FDP in yellow. Innervation to FDS and the radial-sided two FDP tendons (eg, those to the index and long fingers) is provided by the median nerve, while innervation of the ulnar two FDP tendons (ring and small finger) is provided by the ulnar nerve.

AP Stylebook surrenders the battle over âWeb siteâ vs. âwebsiteâ. I was very pleased to read today in this post on Poynter Online that the Associated Press Stylebook (the style manual used by most newspapers and journalists) is finally changing from Web site to website. This change now appears in the AP Stylebook Online and will be in the printed 2010 AP Stylebook. website. One word, lowercase.


Which is proper: Web site, web site, or website?
While the victory is not yet complete, the single word, un-capitalized, seems to be gaining wider acceptance. It is a natural progression. A website is such a common everyday thing that it would seem odd that the only term describing it is hyphenated or two words, one capitalized. Originally, of course, there was the World Wide Web. Along with the Internet, usage required the term to be capitalized because there is only one.

Is website one or two words?
It varies depending on the dictionary you consult. Because it's derived from the proper noun World Wide Web, it started out as two words with Web capitalized. Webster's dictionary still lists it as such. Oxford dictionary lists Web site first with web site and website as variations. The American Heritage dictionary lists it as website with Web site as a variation.

The truth about lying: it's the hands that betray you, not the eyes
The truth about lying: it's the hands that betray you, not the eyes. It is often claimed that even the most stone-faced liar will be betrayed by an unwitting eye movement. But new research suggests that that lying eyes, which no fibber can avoid revealing, are actually a myth.


The truth about lying: it's the hands that betray you, not the eyes
According to the theory, when right-handed people look up to their right they are likely to be visualising a constructed, or imagined, event. In contrast when they look to their left they are likely to be visualising a what is known as a remembered memory.


The truth about lying: it's the hands that betray you, not the eyes
Many psychologists believe that when a person looks up to their right they are likely to be telling a lie. Glancing up to the left, on the other hand, is said to indicate honesty. But the experts are wrong, according to Professor Wiseman and his team of researchers, who tested whether eyes really can reveal lies.


Lying Eyes, Or Something Else? How Blink Rate, Pupil Dilation Give Insight To Honesty And Attraction
You walk in, smile, shake hands. In those brief moments of nonverbal communication, experts say, most people form their first impression. And what we donât express verbally, we communicate with the most powerful type of body language: our eyes. So, try as we might to say what we feel, theyâll give us away.


THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS
Many people know that their eyes betray their lies. Some try to conceal the truth by wearing sunglasses of looking down at the ground. Eventually, you will confront someone and need to know if they are being honest. It may be a friend, a family member or an employee. Police have established a method of evaluating the truthfulness of a person by watching the movements of their eyes.


Lying Eyes, Or Something Else? How Blink Rate, Pupil Dilation Give Insight To Honesty And Attraction
Common knowledge would have you believe people avert their eyes when lying. Worldwide, at least, thatâs the consensus. A 2010 report on two worldwide studies, published in the Journal of Cross Cultural Psychology, found one common belief across 75 countries and 43 different languages: liars avert gaze.

Everyone is different. Most people have a tell when they are lying. It can be a flinch, a movent in their eyes (looking left, right, blinking rapidly), or other things such as perspriation changes, pupil dialation, etc. It is hard to tell what someones tells are until you ask them a number of base line questions.


Lying Eyes, Or Something Else? How Blink Rate, Pupil Dilation Give Insight To Honesty And Attraction
But when people lie they donât create stuff out of thin air,â Eastman said. Instead, they use memories, what they know, so itâs not completely fabricated, and that in turn may not cause as much cognitive overload and decreased blink rate. âIt is almost impossible, to say if a person does X, it means theyâre lying.

Many people blush when they are telling a lie. It's a very subtle phenomenon but this slight increase of blood flow to the cheeks can be detected. A camera that detects liars by monitoring the temperature of their face could lead to more acurate detection of terrorists and illegals at airports and border crossings.


10 Absolute Giveaways That Someone Is Lying To You
1) There Is Truth In The Eyes. Weâve always been told that people who lie wonât look you in the eye, but thatâs only half the story. Experts say liars either make too little or too much eye contact. So, if youâre sitting with someone who wonât make eye contact with you, be wary. She or he is probably spinning you a tall tale.
