When I first suspected I was suffering from hypothyroidism, I did what any anxious, Internet-connected person would do and Googled âdysfunctional thyroid symptoms,â and, in another tab, âhypothyroid thinning hair??â for good measure.


Thyroid Gland: Frequently Asked Questions
Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by generalized overactivity of the thyroid gland. It is more common in women and may be hereditary. Alternatively, the overactivity may be centered in areas of overgrowth, called nodules.


Does Borderline Hypothyroidism Require Treatment?
Subclinical hypothyroidism, also called mild thyroid failure or borderline hypothyroidism is diagnosed when thyroid hormone levels are within normal reference range but TSH is mildly elevated.


Does Borderline Hypothyroidism Require Treatment?
It is reasonable to have a low threshold for TSH levels for the borderline hypothyroidism treatment in patients with depression, bipolar disorder and mental dysfunction. 8. Thyroid drugs have positive effects on fetus development during pregnancy and treatment of infertility and un-ovulation.


Thyroid Gland: Frequently Asked Questions
Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, is treated with thyroid medication. Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroid, etc), a synthetic thyroid hormone, is most commonly used. Levothyroxine is T4 which is the long-acting storage form of thyroid hormone.


-
At the same time, the blood test showed I had normal levels of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, which play a critical role in regulating metabolism. The doctor said my levels of TSH, the thyroid stimulating hormone that tells the thyroid to make T3 and T4, were too high, however. A high TSH is the marker that most endocrinologists use to diagnose hypothyroidism. It means the pituitary gland is telling the thyroid, âGo, go! Work harder!â And the thyroid is saying, âChilll man, Iâm sooo sleepy.â Conversely, too little TSH means hyperthyroidism, or an over-active thyroid.


Thyroid Gland: Frequently Asked Questions
The thyroid can be become underactive (hypothyroid) or overactive (hyperthyroid) for many different reasons. Blood tests are usually the first step in diagnosing thyroid disease. The thyroid can also become enlarged (goiter) or develop nodules (growths within the thyroid).


Thyroid Gland: Frequently Asked Questions
A thyroid nodule is a growth within the thyroid gland, which may or may not be felt by physical exam. Some nodules are only found incidentally on imaging of the thyroid. Thyroid nodules are very common and by age 60 almost one-half of all people will have a thyroid nodule.

Electricity generation. Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy. For electric utilities, it is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers.


Electricity generation
Previously the only way to produce electricity was by chemical reactions or using battery cells, and the only practical use of electricity was for the telegraph.


-
First of all power = voltage* current*power factor (a constant that varies on the characteristics of the electrical system) so to generate power a generator has to a l â¦ evel of voltage and should be capable to handle the current demand of the load (viz electrical load like the bulb we use at home or the pump motor - everything connected to the generator by electrical wire put together).


Electric power transmission
Diagram of an electric power system, generation system in red. Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy. For electric utilities, it is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers.


What ways can voltage be produced?
Voltages are produced by converting one form of energy into electrical energy. Mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy (voltage and current) by moving a magnet or magnetic coil in proximity with a stationary coil, connected to an electrical circuit. A voltage can also be produced with a chemical reaction. Batteries and fuel cells convert energy in specially designed cells, where a chemical reaction causes a voltage to exist across two electrodes implanted at two different parts of the cell. A voltage can be produced by the interaction of light on a photocell. The photons of light interacting with atoms in the photocell, cause an electron to be ejected. The special design of the photocell causes this to occur in such a manner as to produce voltage across the cell. A voltage can be produced by subjecting a thermocouple to differential temperature. A thermocouple is a relatively simple device composed of two dissimilar metals, joined together at what is referred to as a thermal junction.


Electricity generation
Electricity generation is the fourth highest combined source of NOx, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter in the US. In July 2011, the UK parliament tabled a motion that levels of (carbon) emissions from nuclear power were approximately three times lower per kilowatt hour than those of solar, four times lower than clean coal and 36 times lower than conventional coal.


What ways can voltage be produced?
A way of connecting batterys together to produce an increased voltage? increase in voltage or increase in amperes? when connecting batteries to make extra VOLTAGE, you would do the positive to negative, to positive to negative move.


Methods Of Producing Voltage (Electricity)
Methods Of Producing Voltage (Electricity) This article provides information on the following methods of producing electricity: Chemicals can be combined with certain metals to cause a chemical reaction that will transfer electrons to produce electrical energy. This process works on the electrochemistry principle.

To a layman such as I am, my question should perhaps have been this: meteorology produces 'best guesses' or probable predictions. ... Mathematics, for example, gives the product of two plus two as four; no approximates, no probables, but a definite outcome. This, to me, is a science.


What does a meteorologist do?
What is a Meteorologist? The American Meteorological Society defines a meteorologist as a person with specialized education who uses scientific principles to explain, understand, observe, or forecast the earth's atmospheric phenomena and/or how the atmosphere affects the earth and life on the planet..


-
The atmosphere is a blanket of gases, surrounding Earth, that creates our weather. Meteorologists study the measurements and motion of the atmosphere, and changing events within it, so that they can predict the weather.


-
Meteorology IS science, and a very complex one too. The FACT that they can predict things very well considering all the complexities of the dynamics they are trying to predict, shows that it is a valuable field of study. At the very essence of meteorology is classical, non-linear mechanics.


-
Atmospheric science is the study of the atmosphere, which is the blanket of air covering Earth. Atmospheric scientists, commonly called meteorologists, study the atmosphere's physical characteristics, motions, and processes, and the way these factors affect the rest of our environment. The best-known application of this knowledge is forecasting the weather.


Meteorologist Vs. Weatherman
These patterns are affected by heating from the sunâs radiation, heat reflected from the surface of the Earth and oceans, and the physical, chemical and geological reactions that create these effects. Meteorologists are scientists who study a part of this broad combination of subjects. Observations and measurements made by meteorologist may be used to forecast the Earthâs weather patterns. Weathermen are the people who broadcast these forecasts.


-
Category:Meteorologists. A meteorologist is a scientist who studies weather; and may, like a weather presenter (who often are not scientists) engage in weather forecasting, or may solely conduct research. Category:Climatologists is a closely related category of researchers in climatology, the study of climate.


What does a Meteorologist do?
So you are considering a degree in meteorology or you are not sure what career path to pursue but you have a strong interest in sciences. The following career guide will give you a broad overview of the exciting field of atmospheric and related sciences. Meteorology is the science of the atmosphere.


Meteorologist Vs. Weatherman
The American Meteorology Society recommends that a meteorologist should have at least a B.S. degree in a subject that includes meteorology and geoscience courses. He must have an exceptional ability in math and physics. Ideally, this should be evident in the student at a high school level.


-
Yes, meteorology is a science, and yes, they can predict the weather with a very good degree of accuracy. Now if you're talking about more than a week in advance, then you're right, they can't predict it with any degree of accuracy.

A productive (âwetâ or chesty) cough is a cough that produces mucus or phlegm. When you have a productive cough, the aim of treatment is not to suppress the cough (which is an important way of clearing infected secretions from the lungs), but to improve the efficiency of the cough to help clear the airways. Specific treatment of productive coughs depends on the cause and duration of the cough.


Help to clear mucus (phlegm) for the relief of coughing, soreness and throat congestion
Productive Coughs in Children. A common cold virus is usually responsible for causing coughing in children. A 'heavy' type of cough is often caused by mucus and phlegm running down the nose and into the chest. Position children into an upright sleeping position, allowing for easier breathing during sleep.


Coughs â And How to Treat Them
Medicines that can be used to treat productive coughs include expectorants and mucolytics. Cough and cold medicines should not be given to children younger than 6 years of age. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about whether cough medicines should be given to children aged 6 to 11 years.


-
Try white horehound. Horehound is a natural expectorant and has been used to treat coughs since ancient times. You can take horehound in a powdered or juice supplement, or brew a tea from horehound root. To brew a horehound tea, steep 1-2 grams of horehound root in 8 ounces of boiled water for 10 minutes.


How Does Coughing Get Rid of Excess Mucus?
HOW DOES COUGHING GET RID OF EXCESS MUCUS? Cough (or irritant) receptors are scattered throughout your airways. When they get stimulated (by irritants like dust or allergens, or triggered by an accumulation of excess mucus), they send a signal to the cough center in the brain. Your brain processes this information and then tells certain respiratory muscles to rapidly contract, which results in a cough.


Help to clear mucus (phlegm) for the relief of coughing, soreness and throat congestion
Steam is recommended to possibly help your child have a more productive cough. For very young children, take them into the bathroom and sit in the hot steam for 10-15 minutes. Older children may benefit from using a warm steam vaporizer, as well as blowing their nose several times during a steam treatment.


Overview
A productive asthmatic cough will expel phlegm and mucus from the lungs. In most cases of asthma, the cough is considered nonproductive. A nonproductive cough is a dry cough. Itâs a response to an irritant that forces the bronchial tubes to spasm (or constrict).


Help to clear mucus (phlegm) for the relief of coughing, soreness and throat congestion
Coughing mucus and phlegm commonly occurs in the morning. If you are coughing up mucus and phlegm and it persists, consult your doctor. Based on your cough symptoms, your doctor will perform a physical examination as well as certain diagnostic tests.


-
To loosen congestion and reduce coughing, drink warm lemon water with honey. Mix 1 cup warm water with the juice of half a lemon. Stir in as much honey as you like. Sip the warm beverage slowly. Do not give honey to children under the age of one due to the risk of botulism exposure.


Overview
The purpose of a cough is to remove foreign particles and bacteria to prevent a possible infection. There are two types of coughs: productive and nonproductive. When a cough is productive, it means that a noticeable amount of phlegm expelled. This enables the lungs to get rid of harmful substances. Coughing in people with asthma can be helpful because itâs one of the bodyâs natural defense mechanisms.


What is a Barr body?
A Barr body is the inactivated X chromosome that is usually found in the nuclei of female somatic cells. It can also occur in males when there is an abnormality and the male is XXY instead of the normal XY, a condition known as Klinefelter's syndrome. In this case, the male somatic cells would also contain a Barr body.

What is a Barr body?
Answer by Farah ramadan. Confidence votes 43. A Barr body is the inactivated X chromosome that is usually found in the nuclei of female somatic cells. It can also occur in males when there is an abnormality and the male is XXY instead of the normal XY, a condition known as Klinefelter's syndrome.


X Inactivation
The inactivation is random â one X chromosome may be turned off in one cell and the other X chromosome inactivated in a neighboring cell. Once a chromosome is turned off it remains turned off in all descendent cells. With respect to their X chromosomes, female mammals are chimeras.


-
Best Answer: Barr body The condensed, single X-chromosome, appearing as a densely staining mass, that is found in the nuclei of somatic cells of female mammals. It is named after its discoverer, Murray Barr, and is derived from one of the two X-chromosomes which becomes inactivated.


Why do human females show a Barr body in their cells?
As the cells develop, the inactivated X chromosome is compacted into an inert bundle called a Barr body. Since males have one X and one Y, no inactivation takes place, so there is, in general, no Barr body found in the nucleus of somatic cells in male mammals.


-
In females, the sex chromosomes are the 2 X chromosomes. Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The presence of the Y chromosome is decisive for unleashing the developmental program that leads to a baby boy.

Friction
For cases like this, friction can be reduced using a lubricant, which is a material that reduces friction between two objects. Oil is an example of a lubricant. In other cases, friction can slow down a vehicle or a person.


Friction
Sliding friction is stronger when an object is stationary (this is called static friction) than when the object is in motion (this is called kinetic friction). When trying to move a box, it is often harder to get the box moving than it is to keep the box in motion.


-
Air resistance. Bikes, cars and other vehicles experience air resistance as they move. Air resistance is caused by the frictional forces of the air against the vehicle. The faster the vehicle moves, the bigger the air resistance becomes.


Friction
Friction does not only stop objects from moving. It also causes objects to heat up or make a sound. When you rub your hands together, for example, they begin to feel warmer because friction is heating them up.


Q & A: What is friction?
A: Anna, Friction is a force which causes the motion between two surfaces to be reduced. [see below for a more general discussion/ mw] Friction happens because most surfaces are not perfectly smooth. Even a table top which may appear smooth has little bumps in it if you looked at it with a really good microscope.


-
Frictional forces. Whenever an object moves against another object, it feels frictional forces. These forces act in the opposite direction to the movement. Friction makes it harder for things to move.


Q & A: What is friction?
When two surfaces try to move past each other these little bumps collide and slow the motion of the surfaces down causing what we call friction. The rougher a surface is the more and bigger bumps it has and the more friction will affect it. Some examples of this are sliding a wood block down a ramp.


Friction
Rolling friction is a force that slows the progress of a ball or wheel once it is already in motion. It can be observed by watching a ball rolling through dirt. After some time, the ball will eventually slow down and stop. Rolling friction is not as strong as sliding friction, which can be helpful in some situations.


Friction and resistance
Friction can also be unhelpful. If you don't lubricate your bike regularly with oil, the friction in the chain and axles increases. Your bike will be noisy and difficult to pedal. When there is a lot of friction between moving parts, energy is lost to the surroundings as heat.


Do all mosquitoes transmit malaria?

Diagram of Adult Female Mosquito. Larger Picture. Malaria is transmitted among humans by female mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. Female mosquitoes take blood meals to carry out egg production, and such blood meals are the link between the human and the mosquito hosts in the parasite life cycle.arvae of Anopheles mosquitoes have been found in fresh-or salt-water marshes, mangrove swamps, rice fields, grassy ditches, the edges of streams and rivers, and small, temporary rain pools. Many species prefer habitats with vegetation. Others prefer habitats that have none.


All Mosquito Netting Info
The Anopheles Mosquito The Anopheles is different from other types of mosquitoes as it is the genus most accountable for spreading malaria to humans. Malaria can be fatal; its typical symptoms include fever, headaches, chills, and general flu symptoms.he species of Anopheles known as Gambiae is infamous for transmitting plasmodium falciparum, the most threatening form of malaria in the world. The Anopheles mosquito is generally located near bodies of water, such as ponds, swamps, marches, ditches, and rain pools.


Do all mosquitoes transmit malaria?
There are four types of human malaria: Plasmodium vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale and P. falciparum. P. vivax and P. falciparum are the most common forms.Falciparum malariaâthe most deadly typeâis most common in sub-Saharan Africa, where it causes nearly a million deaths a year.: Only certain species of mosquitoes of the Anopheles genusâand only females of those speciesâcan transmit malaria. Malaria is caused by a one-celled parasite called a Plasmodium.


Anopheles Mosquitoes
There are approximately 3,500 species of mosquitoes grouped into 41 genera. Human malaria is transmitted only by females of the genus Anopheles. Of the approximately 430 Anopheles species, only 30-40 transmit malaria (i.e., are vectors) in nature.arvae of Anopheles mosquitoes have been found in fresh-or salt-water marshes, mangrove swamps, rice fields, grassy ditches, the edges of streams and rivers, and small, temporary rain pools. Many species prefer habitats with vegetation. Others prefer habitats that have none.


Anopheles Mosquitoes
Malaria is transmitted by different Anopheles species, depending on the region and the environment. Anophelines that can transmit malaria are found not only in malaria-endemic areas, but also in areas where malaria has been eliminated. The latter areas are thus constantly at risk of re-introduction of the disease.arvae of Anopheles mosquitoes have been found in fresh-or salt-water marshes, mangrove swamps, rice fields, grassy ditches, the edges of streams and rivers, and small, temporary rain pools.

The Fear of Insects or Entomophobia
In many cases of entomophobia, the sufferer is afraid of becoming contaminated by insects. Many bugs, such as cockroaches and flies, do carry disease. However, people with contamination phobias take prudent cleanliness to an extreme. In addition, disgust there is a reaction that often causes symptoms of anxiety.


-
These changes prepare us for what is called 'flight or fight'- either to fight for our lives, or to run for them. A phobia is a disorder in which the body reacts in exactly the same way, and we experience the same feelings of anxiety and fear - but in situations where there is absolutely no need for 'flight or fight'.


-
Some common animal and insect phobias include: 1  Arachnophobia, the fear of spiders. 2  Equinophobia, the fear of horses. 3  Herpetophobia, the fear of lizards.  Ichthyophobia, the fear of fish.


The Fear of Insects or Entomophobia
Entomophobia, sometimes known as insectophobia, is the fear of insects. The fear is relatively common in the US, particularly in urban areas where coming into contact with a bug is fairly unusual because of the lack of interaction with nature.


Animal And Insect Phobias
Many people fear certain insects and animals due to a real or perceived danger, but in some cases, those fears can become irrational and problematic for the people that hold them. An irrational fear is called a phobia, and insect and animal phobias are among the most common psychological phobias in existence.


Entomophobia
Typically one suffers from a fear from one specific type of insect, and entomophobia leads to behavioral changes: the sufferer will avoid situations where they may encounter the specific type of insect. Cognitive behavioral therapy is considered an effective treatment.


-
And phobias about insects are among the commonest of all. A severe phobia about them can be as disabling as any anxiety disorder. Some people become almost prisoners in their own homes for fear of common insects that the majority of people literally never notice.


Animal And Insect Phobias
Finding the cause of animal and insect phobias can be difficult. Some animal and insect phobias arise due to a traumatic experience with the object of the phobia. A person who has been bitten by a snake, for instance, might develop ophidiophobia (the fear of snakes) as a result of the experience.


Entomophobia
For the plant genus, see Entomophobia (plant). Entomophobia (also known as insectophobia) is a specific phobia characterized by an excessive or unrealistic fear of one or more classes of insect, and classified as a phobia by the DSM-5. More specific cases included apiphobia (fear of bees) and myrmecophobia (fear of ants).


What is a QCDR?
A QCDR completes the collection and submission of quality measures data on behalf of eligible professionals (EPs). To be considered a QCDR, an entity must self-nominate and successfully complete a rigorous qualification process.

The Silk Road stopped serving as a shipping route for silk about 1453 with the Ottoman supremacy at Constantinople. Ottoman rulers of the day were anti-western, countering the crusades and aware of the loss of Andalusia in the west. They expressed their displeasure by embargoing trade with the west.


-
Who was the first to travel on the silk road?   The silk road was in existence and used as a trading route long before it was discovered by the West. I believe that Marko Polo was the first westerner to travel the roaâ¦d.


The Silk Road
The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes that extended across Europe and Asia, linking powerful civilizations such as China and Rome. The Silk Road flourished from about 1500 B.C. to A.D. 1500 and extended from China through Central Asia to the Caspian and Black Seas.


Tang dynasty
Although the Silk Road from China to the West was initially formulated during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han (141 â 87 BCE), it was reopened by the Tang Empire in 639 when Hou Junji conquered the Western Regions, and remained open for almost four decades.


History of silk
Although the term the Silk Road implies a continuous journey, very few who traveled the route traversed it from end to end. The Silk Road is not a single road.


-
Trade on the Silk Road played a significant role in the development of the civilizations of China, the Indian subcontinent, Persia, Europe, the Horn of Africa and Arabia, opening long-distance political and economic relations between the civilizations.


-
The Roman Empire connected with the Central Asian Silk Road through their ports in Barygaza (known today as Bharuch ) and Barbaricum (known today as the cities of Karachi, Sindh, and Pakistan ) and continued along the western coast of India.


The Silk Road
Explain to students that goods were often traded between China, the Middle East, and Europe via the Silk Road. Tell students that the Silk Road was a vast network of trade routes that traversed Asia from 1500 B.C. A.D. until 1500. Explain that traders would travel the Silk Road routes on camels and in caravans.


How many days does it take the travel the silk road?
When last in China, we traveled the southern most route of the silk road through southern China, by many different contraptions including raggidy busses. That journey took us about a week to complete. But we did do sight seeing along the way. Extending over 8,000 km (5,000 miles). Trade on the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of the great civilizatins of China India, Egypt, Persia (or Irac) Arabia and Rome, and helped lay the foundations for our modern world.


The Silk Road
1 Using the Silk Road map or the library, have students research routes of the Silk Road. Have students draw one or more of these routes on their maps.  Using the The Silk Road and Beyond: Travel, Trade, and Transformation Web unit or the library, research goods and ideas that were traded on the Silk Road.


hyperbola
In mathematics, a hyperbola (plural hyperbolas or hyperbolae) is a type of smooth curve, lying in a plane, defined by its geometric properties or by equations for which it is the solution set. hyperbola may be defined equivalently as the locus of points where the absolute value of the difference of the distances to the two foci is a constant equal to 2 a, the distance between its two vertices.

$y=\sinh x=\dfrac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2}$. The hyperbolic sine function is asymptotic to a pair of exponential functions. $y=\cosh x=\dfrac{e^x+e^{-x}}{2}$. The hyperbolic cosine function is also asymptotic to a pair of exponential functions.This function is also known as a catenary, which is the shape taken by a chain suspended between two points.$y=\tanh x=\dfrac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}$. This is the graph of the hyperbolic tangent function.y=\coth x=\dfrac{e^x+e^{-x}}{e^x-e^{-x}}$. This is the graph of the hyperbolic cotangent function. $y=\operatorname{sech} x=\dfrac{2}{e^x+e^{-x}}$.

Jurisdiction
It is granted to a formally constituted legal body, such as a court, or to a political leader. It grants authority to deal with and make pronouncements on legal matters and, by implication, to administer justice. Jurisdiction has defined areas of responsibility, e.g. Michigan tax law. Areas of jurisdiction apply to local, state, and federal levels, e.g. the court has jurisdiction to apply federal law. Colloquially it is used to refer to the geographical area to which such authority applies, e.g. the court has jurisdiction over all of Colorado. The legal term refers only to the granted authority, not to a geographical area.


jurisdiction
Jurisdiction can also be used to define the proper court in which to bring a particular case. In this context, a court has either original or appellate jurisdiction over a case. When the court has original jurisdiction, it is empowered to conduct a trial in the case.

Pros and Cons of Biodegradable Packing Peanuts
Biodegradable packing peanuts are made from natural, nontoxic sources, such as wheat and corn starch. They dissolve in water and can be thrown into compost piles after a single use. In addition, biodegradable foam peanuts do not have an electrostatic charge, meaning they will not stick to clothes.ere, we will examine the pros and cons of biodegradable peanuts. Pros: Composed of polystyrene, a plastic polymer better known as Styrofoam, traditional loose fill packing peanuts are difficult to decompose. After disposal, they can end up in a landfill or floating around the ocean for many, many years.

Powdered Metal Bushings Powdered metal bushings are available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes and are considered plane bearings, which have no rolling elements. After forming, sintering, and sizing, this material is impregnated with SAE 30 oil, making these bushings self -lubricating. Among the most common variety of these products include: SAE841 -This material offers standard, off-the-shelf availability of straight bushings, flanged bushings, thrust washers, and bar stock to fit shaft diameters from 1/8 to 5. Bearing Service stocks SAE841 bushings in all branch locations in a wide variety of ID/OD combinations and lengths.


Plain bearing
The design of a plain bearing depends on the type of motion the bearing must provide. 1  The three types of motions possible are: 2  Journal (friction, radial or rotary) bearing: This is the most common type of plain bearing; it is simply a shaft rotating in a bearing.
