What is an autotroph?
This contrasts with autotrophs, such as plants, algae and  some bacteria, that can use energy from sunlight (photosynthesis)  or inorganic compounds to produce organic compounds such as  carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from inorganic carbon dioxide.   Humans are a good example of heterotrophs.These reduced carbon compounds can be used as an energy source by  the autotroph and provide the energy in food consumed by  heterotrophs. More than 95% of all organisms are heterotrophic.[2]   A heterotroph is an organism that requires organic  substrates to get its carbon for growth and development.

An example of an  autotroph is algae. A heterotroph is an organism that receives its  food from other sources. It is a multicellular or unicellular  organism. Organisms that are consumers or decomposers are  heterotrophs.A parasite is also a heterotroph. A parasite feeds  off other organisms for its food.An example of a parasite is a  deet tick. An example of a decomposing heterotroph is an earthworm. heterotroph is an organism that receives its  food from other sources. It is a multicellular or unicellular  organism.

Daphnia
Daphnia, a genus of small planktonic crustaceans, are 1â5 millimetres (0.04â0.20 in) in length. Daphnia are members of the order Cladocera, and are one of the several small aquatic crustaceans commonly called water fleas because their saltatory [1] swimming style resembles the movements of fleas.he two most readily available species of Daphnia are D. pulex (small and most common) and D. magna (large). They are often associated with a related genus in the order Cladocera: Moina, which is in the Moinidae family instead of Daphniidae and is much smaller than D. pulex (approximately half the maximum length).

DEFINITION of 'Variance Inflation Factor'. A measure of the amount of multicollinearity in a set of multiple regression variables. The presence of multicollinearity within the set of independent variables can cause a number of problems in the understanding the significance of individual independent variables in the regression model. Using variance inflation factors helps to identify multicollinearity issues so that the model can be adjusted.


Relationship between correlation and sample variance
Relationship between correlation and sample variance. A correlation coefficient is lower if there's a low variance in the characteristic of the sample. For example, the correlation between IQ and school achievement follows this pattern. The correlation is lower if you only include students with similar school achievement.


Relationship between correlation and sample variance
covariance(X,Y)/(Standard Deviation(X)*Standard Deviation(Y)). In other words, the correlation is proportional to the the covariance of the two variables. The divisor in the equation acts has a scaling effect on the covariance so that the resulting correlation will lie between -1 and +1.


DEFINITION of 'Variance Inflation Factor'
BREAKING DOWN 'Variance Inflation Factor'. The variance inflation factor allows a quick measure of how much a variable is contributing to the standard error in the regression. When significant multicollinearity issues exist, the variance inflation factor will be very large for the variables involved.


Variance inflation factor
In statistics, the variance inflation factor (VIF) quantifies the severity of multicollinearity in an ordinary least squares regression analysis. It provides an index that measures how much the variance (the square of the estimate's standard deviation) of an estimated regression coefficient is increased because of collinearity. 1 Definition.


The Pearson Correlation Coefficient
Z-Scores and Pearson Correlation: If we have scores that are expressed as standardized scores -- Z-Scores with a mean of zero and a variance of one -- then the formula for the Pearson Correlation becomes particularly simple.

The Pearson Correlation Coefficient
The sum of the squares of the deviation scores for a variable is used to measure the amount of variability of a single variable: The sum of products, which is used to measure the variability shared between two variables, is defined as: Note that the name is short for the sum of the products of corresponding deviation scores for two variables.


The Pearson Correlation Coefficient
Gather the data Lets use the data gathered in class about SAT-M and GPA. We can also use the SAT-V and GPA correlation. We observe that. The MathSAT/GPA correlation is .32 -- 10% of the variance in GPA is explained by MathSAT. The VerbalSAT/GPA correlation is .47 -- 22% of the variance in GPA is explained by VerbalSAT.

VAR versus expected shortfall
For example, with X = 99 and N = 10, the expected shortfall is the average amount that is lost over a 10-day period, assuming that the loss is greater than the 99th percentile of the loss distribution. Clearly, the expected shortfall is much higher in figure 2 than figure 1.


VaR and Expected Shortfall vs. Black Swan
The risk manager is interested in the estimation of 1-day 95% VaR threshold, i.e. $VaR_0.05$, and the expected shortfall if on the next trading day (Jan 4, 1988) the exceedance event would occur.


VaR and Expected Shortfall vs. Black Swan
Value-at-Risk (VaR). A magical number quoted at the end of the day by the banksâ financial risk managers, portfoliosâ risk managers, and risk managers simply concerned about the expected risk threshold not to be, hopefully, exceeded on the next day.


What is a 'Shortfall'
BREAKING DOWN 'Shortfall'. A shortfall can refer to a current situation as well as one predicted for the future. A shortfall applies to any situation where the amount of funds required to meet an obligation are not available. Shortfalls can occur in the business arena as well as to individuals.


What is a 'Shortfall'
What is a 'Shortfall'. A shortfall is the amount by which a financial obligation or liability exceeds the amount of cash that is available. A shortfall can be temporary in nature, arising out of a unique set of circumstances, or it can be persistent, in which case it may indicate poor financial management practices.


VaR and Expected Shortfall vs. Black Swan
So, it would be a bit unfair to compare $VaR_\alpha$ estimated in 80s with what is going on right now. $VaR_\alpha$ assumes that the distribution of returns is normal. Not most beautiful assumption but the most straightforward to compute $VaR_\alpha$.


VAR versus expected shortfall
Consider again the earlier example. The VAR for a single loan is $2 million. The expected shortfall from a single loan when the time horizon is one year and the confidence level is 99% is, therefore, the expected loss on the loan, conditional on a loss greater than $2 million.


VaR and Expected Shortfall vs. Black Swan
Now we are interested in the expected value of loss given the exceedance. It is the definition of expected shortfall and is based on the concept of conditional probability as follows: $$. E[X\ |\ X>VaR_\alpha] = ES \ .


VAR versus expected shortfall
Expected shortfall, like VAR, is a function of two parameters: N (the time horizon in days) and X% (the confidence level). It is the expected loss during an N-day period, conditional that the loss is greater than the Xth percentile of the loss distribution.


VaR and Expected Shortfall vs. Black Swan
And if it was the case indeed, the expected loss (in dollars) we potentially would suffer, would be $C\times ES = 0.058C$. Now it easy to understand why the Black Swan event of Oct 19, 1987 falls into the category of super least likely moves in the markets.

The way we talk about paper in the United States is amazingly convoluted. The short answer is that 500 sheets of bond paper with a size of 17 by 22 have a weight of 20 pounds.The manufacturer would cut a sheet that big into four letter-size sheets, so a 500-sheet ream of 20-pound bond paper weighs 5 pounds.If it was something other than bond paper, then the size of the standard sheet used to determine the weight might be different.he way we talk about paper in the United States is amazingly convoluted.

The common inch-pound coating weight designations (ordered as A 875) are, in oz/ft 2: GF30 GF45 GF60 GF75 GF90 For Zn-5% Al alloy-coated sheet, since the coating contains about 95% zinc, and thus has nearly the same density as zinc, a GF90 coating is approximately equivalent in thickness to a G90 galvanized coating.o inch-pound designations are used since single side coatings are traditionally ordered in SI units only. Examples are: 60G 70G 90G These designations specify the minimum and maximum SST value on each surface, e.g., 60G requires a minimum of 60 g/m 2 and a maximum of 110 g/m 2 of zinc on each surface for any SST.


What is 'Hundredweight (Cwt)'
A unit of measurement for weight used in certain commodities trading contracts. In North America, a hundredweight is equal to 100 pounds and is also known as a short hundredweight.In Britain, a hundredweight is 112 pounds and is also known as a long hundredweight.Next Up.or example, on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the futures contract for rough rice is 2,000 hundredweights of long grain rough rice. In the past, hundredweight was used as a unit of measure for buying and selling many more commodities.


-
One of the coating weight designation systems in this standard uses descriptors such as G60, G90, etc. The âGâ means the coating is galvanize (zinc), and the numbers refer to the weight of zinc on the surface of the steel sheet in inch-pound (English/Imperial) units.o inch-pound designations are used since single side coatings are traditionally ordered in SI units only. Examples are: 60G 70G 90G These designations specify the minimum and maximum SST value on each surface, e.g., 60G requires a minimum of 60 g/m 2 and a maximum of 110 g/m 2 of zinc on each surface for any SST.


-
Also, almost all automotive specifications require designation of the coating mass on each side of the sheet, e.g., 40G40G, requires 40 g/m 2 on each side. The Inch-Pound term G40, a designator used only for hot-dip galvanized sheet, is defined by A 653/A 653M as total coating weight, both sides.he commonInch-Pound coating weightdesignat ions (ordered as A 653)for galvannealed product are, in oz/ft 2: A25 A40 A60 As with the galvanized product designators, A40 for example requires a minimum coating weight of 0.40 oz/ft 2.


Stone (unit)
Ten years later, a stone still varied from 5 pounds (glass) to 8 pounds (meat and fish) to 14 pounds (wool and horseman's weight). However, the Act of 1835 permitted using a stone of 14 pounds for trade but other values remained in use.TONE also denotes a certain quantity or weight of some commodities. A stone of beef, in London, is the quantity of eight pounds; in Hertfordshire, twelve pounds; in Scotland sixteen pounds.


Caliber-to-pounder Relationship
For example, the same 8-inch Parrott rifle was referred to as a 200-pounder by the army and a 150-pounder in the navy. The confusion existed because the original 200 pound projectile had been shortened, thus reducing the weight to 150 pounds. The navy carried the new designation while the army retained the older.The 10-inch Parrott was known as a 300-pounder, even though it actually fired a shell weighing about 250 pounds.he confusion existed because the original 200 pound projectile had been shortened, thus reducing the weight to 150 pounds.

Stone (unit)
The Scottish stone was equal to 16 Scottish pounds (17 lb 8 oz avoirdupois or 7.936 kg). In 1661, the Royal Commission of Scotland recommended that the Troy stone be used as a standard of weight and that it be kept in the custody of the burgh of Lanark.TONE also denotes a certain quantity or weight of some commodities.

The common inch-pound coating weight designations (ordered as A1046) are, in oz/ft 2: ZM30 ZM40 ZM60 ZM75 ZM90 These designations specify the minimum average of a TST, total-both-sides, tested per A924/A924M, e.g., ZM60 requires a minimum average TST of 0.60 oz/ft 2 total-both-sides.his alloy-coated sheet has a coating that consists of zinc with 5-13% aluminum, and 2-4% magnesium. The designation systems for coating weight and coating mass are given in ASTM Standard A1046/A1046M.


Hives and Your Skin
A. A. A. Urticaria, also known as hives, is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques (wheals) on the skin that appear suddenly -- either as a result of the body's reaction to certain allergens, or for unknown reasons.Hives usually cause itching, but may also burn or sting.he most common causes are certain foods, medications, or infections. Insect bites and internal disease may also be responsible. The most common foods that cause hives are nuts, chocolate, fish, tomatoes, eggs, fresh berries, and milk. Fresh foods cause hives more often than cooked foods.


Idiopathic Urticaria-Description of Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria

Overview
Hives on dark skin. Hives are a skin reaction that causes red or white itchy welts. The welts vary in size and appear and fade repeatedly as the reaction runs its course. Chronic hives are a condition in which the welts last more than six weeks or recur over months or years.Chronic hives usually aren't life-threatening. But the condition can be very uncomfortable and interfere with sleep and daily activities. Often, the cause of chronic hives is not clear.In some cases, chronic hives are a sign of an underlying health problem, such as thyroid disease or lupus. You can try various treatments to relieve your symptoms. For many people, antihistamine and anti-itch medications provide relief from chronic hives.hronic hives are a condition in which the welts last more than six weeks or recur over months or years.

Common symptoms:


Symptoms of Bad or Failing Differential / Gear Oil
Differential or transmission are whining. One of the symptoms that is most commonly associated with bad or failing differential or gear oil is a noisy transmission or differential. If the gear oil runs low, or becomes excessively dirty, it can cause the gears to whine or howl as they turn.


Symptoms of Bad or Failing Differential / Gear Oil
If the vehicle has exceeded the recommended mileage for service of the gear or differential oil it is highly recommended to have it changed, as old oil may not provide the same level of protection as clean, fresh oil.


Understanding and Diagnosing Rear Differential Noise
Understanding and Diagnosing Rear Differential Noise. The rear differential plays a very large role in the working assembly of a car, truck or semi. We all know that a vehicle works via its engineâs piston motion which is powered by fuel combustion.


Understanding and Diagnosing Rear Differential Noise
This is made possible with the help of the rear differentialâs side gears and spiders. To put it simply, this mechanism is the one that decides the speed and the frequency of the turning of the axle and wheels in relation to the turning of the drive shaft. This is often referred to ring and pinion ratio. If for example you have a rear gear ratio of 3.73:1, this simply means that the drive shaft (which is connected directly to the pinion gear) is going to rotate 3.73 times to the wheels turning one, full rotation.


Signs of a Bad Rear Differential
A driver should consult a certified mechanic to deal with a bad rear differential and prevent further damage to the vehicle's driving systems. (Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images) When the vehicle is turned on and first put into drive, there may be a rattle or clanking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle.


-
Well, the easiest way to tell that your differential is trying to tell you something is when your driveshaft turns and the vehicle doesn't move - thats pretty much a given that you need rearend work NOW. Usually, though, your differential lets you know ahead of time by making odd noises. The most common noise is a steady whining or grinding that increases with vehicle speed - that usually indicates problems with the bearings or gears.


-
It depends greatly on what the year, make and model of your vehicle is, but we can usually rebuild the most common differentials in a day or two. Its even possible, in some cases, to rebuild your rearend while you wait, although youll need to make a special appointment so we can have a spot ready for you.


Understanding and Diagnosing Rear Differential Noise
The differential is the final end mechanism that enables the creation of torque in the crankshaft before it is distributed through the transmission, to the drive shaft, and then to the wheels. This part serves to transmit engine power to the wheels while also enabling them to have different rotation speeds.


Signs of a Bad Rear Differential
Signs of a Bad Rear Differential. The rear differential is an integral part of your vehicle that transmits torque and rotation through shafts running the length of the automobile. The rear differential allows all four of the vehicle's wheels to rotate at different speeds which is essential for road traction and stability. When a rear differential fails, it can cause vibration, noise and fluid leaks that impact a vehicle's acceleration and driveability.


-
This is the simplest and most common differential unit found in cars and light trucks, it contains four gears (spider gears) which allow the rear wheels to turn at differing speeds so that cornering doesnt cause the inside wheel to be drug along by the outside wheel.


Dosing & Uses
Coadministration with MAO inhibitors linezolid or IV methylene blue: Trazodone not recommended in patients actively receiving linezolid or IV methylene blue; consider other interventions if treating psychiatric condition; if coadministration necessary, because benefits outweigh risks, monitor for serotonin syndrome for 2 weeks or until 24 hr after ...


Desipramine
Risk of serotonin syndrome when coadministered within 14 days of MAOIs, or coadministered with other strong serotonergic drugs (eg, SNRIs, SSRIs) Starting trazodone in a patient who is being treated with linezolid or IV methylene blue is contraindicated because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome.


Drug interactions with linezolid iv and trazodone oral
linezolid iv and trazodone oral. linezolid iv and trazodone oral both increase affecting serotonin levels in the blood. Too much serotonin is a potentially life-threatening situation. Severe signs and symptoms include high blood pressure and increased heart rate that lead to shock.


Trazodone Overdose
Can You Take Too Much Trazodone? Trazodone hydrochloride (DesyrelÂ®) is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of depression, also known as major depression or clinical depression. As with all medications, it is possible to take too much trazodone. Overdose effects will vary, depending on a number of factors, including how much trazodone is taken and whether it is taken with any other medicines or alcohol. If a person overdoses on trazodone, the symptoms can also vary. The most common symptoms include:


Dosing & Uses
If linezolid or IV methylene blue must be administered, discontinue trazodone immediately and monitor for CNS toxicity; may resume clomipramine 24 hr after last linezolid or methylene blue dose or after 2 weeks of monitoring, whichever comes first.


Can you shoot trazodone?
nice combo....not so sure with just trazodone but i do enjoy them. trazodone is a very different than other depression pills. they are tetracyclic. i notice lately feeling so energetic and happy. the feeling IMO is not bad, the combo feels great n i can pass a drug test...WARNING. THIS COMBINATION IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN KILL U ESPECIALLY IF U HAVE LOW TOLERANCE TO DRUGS.

Trazodone Abuse Is Growing Worldwide
Ironically, Trazodone is not a controlled substance like Ambien and Lunesta which are also prescribed for insomnia. Trazodone abuse is perhaps a direct result of it being a drug that is easier to get. When used correctly (as prescribed) Trazodone raises the levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the body. Itâs also used to treat insomnia, anxiety and chronic pain. The drug is designed to âregularizeâ brain function and combat depression. Trazodone abuse is only the result of taking too much of the drug.


Trazodone Abuse Is Growing Worldwide
Today, it is more often prescribed as a sleep aid, than as an antidepressant. Trazodone abuse has also grown; it is one the top 20 drugs abused in the US today. Thirty years ago, when Trazodone was first introduced, there werenât many non-sedating antidepressants available.

Altocumulus clouds are composed primarily of water droplets and are located between 6,500 and 20,000 feet (2,000 to 6,000 meters) above the ground. Photograph by: Holle. Altocumulus may appear as parallel bands (top photograph) or rounded masses (bottom photograph). Typically a portion of an altocumulus cloud is shaded, a characteristic which makes them distinguishable from the high-level cirrocumulus. Altocumulus clouds usually form by convection in an unstable layer aloft, which may result from the gradual lifting of air in advance of a cold front.


Cloud Formation Due to Weather Fronts
Cold fronts occur when heavy cold air displaces lighter warm air, pushing it upward. Cumulus clouds are the most common cloud types that are produced by cold fronts. They often grow into cumulonimbus clouds, which produce thunderstorms. Cold fronts can also produce nimbostratus, stratocumulus, and stratus clouds.


What are 4 major types of clouds? And please give me pics of them.?
Cumulus clouds. Cumulus clouds look like white fluffy balls of cotton wool and mark the vertical extent of convection. The level at which condensation begins is defined by the cloud base, and its height will depend upon the humidity of the rising air. The more humid the air, the lower the cloud base.


Weather lore
Usually, rainfall associated with cold fronts is in the form of heavy deluge; more rain may fall in a few minutes as the cold front passes than during the whole passage of a warm front. As the cold front passes, the clouds roll by and the air temperature may become noticeably cooler.


-
Clouds and Rain. Cooling by uplift. Whilst dew, frost and fog are types of condensation resulting from cooling by contact with the Earth's surface, clouds and rain are caused by cooling from mechanical uplift. There are three main ways by which uplift of air can occur: convection, front and orographic (mountain) uplift. In each case, the rising air is forced to cool by expansion, releasing condensation first as cloud, and if uplift and cooling continues, as rain, hail or snow.


Cloud Formation Due to Weather Fronts
Cold air is more dense than warm air, so when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass, the cold air ends up below the warm air. Once the air has risen, it cools and clouds can form. Click on image for full size.


Warm front
Illustration of a warm front. The warm air behind the front is slowly overtaking the cold air ahead of the front, which is moving more slowly in the same direction. The warmer air, due to lower density, climbs over the colder air as it moves.


Warm front
If the warm air mass is unstable, thunderstorms may be embedded among the stratiform clouds ahead of the front, and after frontal passage thundershowers may continue. On weather maps, the surface location of a warm front is marked with a red line of semicircles pointing in the direction of travel.


Cloud Types
Some clouds are near the ground. Others are almost as high as jet planes fly. Some are puffy like cotton. Others are grey and uniform. The diagram below shows where different types of clouds are located in the sky. Visit the Cloud Gallery to see photos of the different cloud types. 1  The highest clouds in the atmosphere are cirrocumulus, cirrus, and cirrostratus. 2  Cumulonimbus clouds can also grow to be very high.


Cloud Formation Due to Weather Fronts
Cloud Formation Due to Weather Fronts. Weather fronts can cause clouds to form. Fronts occur when two large masses of air collide at the Earth's surface. Warm fronts produce clouds when warm air replaces cold air by sliding above it. Many different cloud types can be created in this way: altocumulus, altostratus, cirrocumulus, cirrostratus, cirrus, cumulonimbus (and associated mammatus clouds), nimbostratus, stratus, and stratocumulus.

I used to work for iQor Canada Ltd. (formally CBCL) for about a year. Here's the deal: It IS a real company and they are not scamming anyone for personal info. What happens is numbers get reassigned sometimes as quickly as 4 months. Your best bet is to call the number back (iQor has several different offices for a total of well over 25 numbers in total - prob a load more, I just know about 25 or so.) Give them your number (they need this in order to trace where it is they are calling - they cannot remove your number if you do not tell them what number it is they are dialing seeing as how there are over a million in each of their databases).

Data distributions are used to organize and display information about a set of collected data. Common distributions include tally charts, dot plots, box plots, and histograms. Selecting an appropriate distribution will depend on the type and amount of data that will be displayed since each distribution has different strengths and weaknesses.


-
The dot plot shows all of it: every value appears individually. Our age histogram groups the data into 19 classes, so it distills 5000 numbers down to only 19. The box plot goes further, reducing the numbers to five. This reduction in numbers does not mean that the dot plot is better or worse than the rest.

Statistics- Chapter 2
Dot Plot. To make a dot plot, start with an axis (a number line) and place a dot over each data value. The dots can be any symbol; students often use Xâs. When you get a second data point at the same value, stack the points.


-
A dotplot is a type of graphic display used to compare frequency counts within categories or groups. As you might guess, a dotplot is made up of dots plotted on a graph. Here is how to interpret a dotplot. Each dot can represent a single observation from a set of data, or a specified number of observations from a set of data. The dots are stacked in a column over a category, so that the height of the column represents the relative or absolute frequency of observations in the category.

The wooden parts also tend to be made from lower grade woods, and generally there is a lack of attention to detail.he decorative outer straps of the yurt are made from woven horsehair. This has been used in Mongolia for a millennium as it is both weather resistant strong and beautiful. Inner straps The inner horizontal straps bear the yurts weight holding the walls in place.

Neck Osteoarthritis Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Cause of Neck Osteoarthritis. The changes caused by degeneration of the cervical spine region can compress one or more nerve roots. The compression of nerves can not only cause pain in the neck, but also pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling in the arm.


Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Cervical Spine
The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in the cervical spine are extremely varied. Pain is the earliest symptom and may be part of the overall joint inflammation that occurs with the arthritis. As the disease progresses, the symptoms that are most worrisome are those that suggest that the spinal cord is being affected.


Neck Osteoarthritis Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
While a past neck injury can lead to neck osteoarthritis years later, aging is the major risk factor or cause of neck osteoarthritis.

Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Cervical Spine
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that affects all of the synovial joints in the body. The cervical spine contains synovial joints. The destruction caused by the rheumatoid disease process affects different regions of the cervical spine.


Severe spinal arthritis
Spinal rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the bodyâs own defense system targets the lining of the joints (synovium). The synovium under attack produces less synovial fluid, a thick lubricant that keeps joints moving smoothly.


Severe spinal arthritis
With time, joints often deform. Severe spinal rheumatoid arthritis may lead to deformity of the spine, making the activities of daily life difficult or virtually impossible. As with osteoarthritis of the spine, bone spurring is common with spinal RA.
