Glycocalyx
The glycocalyx is a carbohydrate-enriched coating that covers the outside of many eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells, particularly bacteria. When on eukaryotic cells the glycocalyx can be a factor used for the recognition of the cell.


Glycocalyx: Definition & Function
The glycocalyx is a thick outer covering of the plasma membrane. It is composed of strands of sugars and proteins bound together. The result is a thick, sticky layer that helps cells stay put in environments with lots of physical stress.


American Society for Microbiology Journal of Bacteriology
More information about the specific components of the biofilm EPS, as well as their localization and stability, will likely support Costerton and Irvin's visionary concept of âbiofilm as a tissueâ in 1981, when EPS still was called the âglycocalyxâ .


-
Quick Answer. The glycocalyx serves a variety of functions, from allowing bacteria to adhere to objects to keeping the cornea moist. Glycocalyx is the general name for a gel-like coating that covers the outside of certain cells. The coating is made up of carbohydrates and fibrous proteins.


Definitions &Translations
The glycocalyx is a type of identifier that the body uses to distinguish between its own healthy cells and transplanted tissues, diseased cells, or invading organisms. Included in the glycocalyx are cell-adhesion molecules that enable cells to adhere to each other and guide the movement of cells during embryonic development.

With the right treatment, the symptoms of CHD can be reduced and the functioning of the heart improved. Read on to learn about the different treatments you may be offered.


-
While these medications are typically prescribed to treat other heart disease types, such as cardiomyopathy, a person with coronary heart disease may take these medications. By pumping harder, the heart can get more blood out in a single beat.


-
Itâs very important that people with CAD take all of their medication exactly as their doctors have prescribed it for them. Although coronary artery disease always affects the patientâs heart, not all CAD is the same and therefore itâs not all treated in the same way. For example, some patients have trouble with excessive blood clotting while others need to lower their blood pressure.

Type B Vent (Gas)
One of the fire safety features of double-wall Type B gas vent is that its outer wall, insulated by the airspace beneath it, requires only 1â clearance to combustible material in the structure.


Type B Vent (Gas)
If the flue gases are kept rising at the proper rate, the structure is kept free from pollution, and condensation damage is eliminated. Although a large portion of the flue gas is composed of water vapor, AmeriVent Type B gas vent carries it out of the structure before it can condense.


Type B Vent (Gas)
AmeriVent Type B gas vent uses a double wall of metal pipe for insulation and safety. The inner pipe of reflecting aluminum heats quickly, containing the warm flue gases inside. The airspace between the inner and the outer pipes provides insulation against heat loss to keep the warmer flue gases on the rise.


-
VENT CONNECTOR is the pipe or duct that connects a fuel gas-burning appliance to a vent or chimney. FLUE COLLAR is that portion of an appliance designed for the attachment of a draft hood, appliance adapter, vent connector or venting system.


Chimney Terminology: Chimney or Flue or Vent?
Understanding Flues. A flue is simply a passage for conveying exhaust gases from an appliance to the outdoors. A flue may be a duct, pipe, vent, or chimney. An unlined chimney is technically a flue, even though an unlined chimney is a fire hazard. This can cause confusion, as many view flues not just as a passage for venting, but as a safe passage for venting.


-
Example A typical example of use of the Tables for Single-Appliance Venting is shown in Figure 5. The furnace has an input rating of 80,000 BTU per hour and is fan-assisted. Total Height (H) of the vent is 30 feet with a 10- foot Total Lateral Length (L). The entire system is Type B gas vent. Procedure Go down Vent Height (H) column of Table 1 to 30-foot height with a 10-foot lateral under the FAN Min and FAN Max column giving 37,000 and 150,000 BTUH for a 4-inch vent.


Chimney Terminology: Chimney or Flue or Vent?
This guide will help you understand chimneys, vents, connectors and flues. A chimney is a passage to carry the products of combustion outdoors. Chimneys are made to be able to vent all types of fuel: gas, oil, and solid. Chimneys may pass through the house (including the living space), be outside of the house in a chase (a surrounding to protect the chimney against weather), or be outdoors. Chimneys may be masonry or factory built.


-
If it is easier (less resistance) for the flue products to spill out the draft hood relief opening than to flow into the vent, priming can be delayed or prevented altogether. By using all of the vertical height (head room) available (NEVER less than 1 foot), a venting system will usually prime within 8 to 10 seconds.


Type B Vent (Gas)
The new and improved AmeriVent Type B gas vent features a quick disconnect system. To Connect: Snap-lock pipe and fittings together or align the seams, push together, and twist at least 1â to lock. To Disconnect: Simply realign the seams and pull apart.

Porcelain Tiles vs. Ceramic Tiles
Ceramic tile is made from natural clay, sand and water. These materials are molded to form square or rectangular tiles and then baked in a kiln to remove most of the moisture. Porcelain tile is also made from clay but tends to be made using denser types of clay than ceramic.


What is Ceramic Tile?
Ceramic tile is made up of sand, natural products, and clays and once it has been moulded into shape they are then fired in a kiln. When making ceramic tiles they can either be glazed or unglazed, but the majority of homeowners have glazed ceramic tiles in their home.


Porcelain Tile vs. Ceramic Tile: Understanding the Differences
Porcelain and ceramic tile are essentially the same, with one slight difference. Both are part of the larger category of tiles we can call ceramic. It is more a case of reverse-naming, whereby manufacturers take tiles that have certain qualities and then assign the ceramic or porcelain titles to them.


How to Tell The Difference Between Porcelain and Ceramic Tiles
1 Group two: the porcelain tiles are generally made by the dust pressed method from porcelain clays which result in a tile that is denser and more durable than ceramic tile. 2  The finish is a finer grained and smoother with sharply formed faces.


-
Porcelain tile is harder to install than ceramic tile. Any well fired, dense, hard clay tile is more difficult to install than softer tiles not fired as long. Hard tiles are less porous and may, but do not always, require a special setting adhesive to bond well to whatever surface they are being installed on.


How to Tell The Difference Between Porcelain and Ceramic Tiles
1 Stay with a good quality ceramic tile if it is going to be in a high traffic area such as an entry way or heavy used hallway. 2  For bathrooms or laundry rooms, use a porcelain tile. 3  Not only is porcelain tile more durable because of their hardness, they are more resistant to moisture.


-
Porcelain tile is generally made by pressing porcelain clays, which results in a tile that's dense, impervious, fine grained, and smooth with a sharply formed face. Porcelain tiles usually have a much lower water absorption rate than ceramic tiles, making them more frost resistant, although not frost proof.


Tile Flooring 101: Types of Tile Flooring
Ceramic Tile. Ceramic tile is manufactured from clay materials that are quarried, prepared, and then formed into a mold. Common forming methods for ceramic tile include dry press, extruded, and slush mold. The dry press forming method involves a mixture of dry material being pressed into a mold under extreme pressure.

When we think of ancient Greece, we think right away of Athens. Several of the philosophers we have already discussed considered it the pinnacle of their careers to come and teach in this great city. But Athens wasnât always great. It began as a collection of villages in some of the poorest agricultural land in Greece.


Plato: Political Philosophy
Mathematics, rhetoric, astronomy, dialectics, and other subjects, all seen as necessary for the education of philosophers and statesmen, were studied there. Some of Platoâs pupils later became leaders, mentors, and constitutional advisers in Greek city-states. His most renowned pupil was Aristotle. Plato died in c. 347 B.C.E. During his lifetime, Athens turned away from her military and imperial ambitions and became the intellectual center of Greece.


What is the month, day, and year of Plato, Socartes, Aristophanes, and Aristole birthday?
Best Answer: Aristotle- born 384 BCE...some sources say Summer, but the exact date is not known. Plato- May 21, 427 BCE...some sources say circa day 428 BCE... Aristophanes -- 446 BCE. It is nearly impossible to know what the exact day and month is as this was hundreds of years ago.


Philosophy: The Athenian Philosophers: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle
His return to Athens was marked by the arrival of a brilliant student to the Academy named Aristotle, whom Plato taught for the next twenty years until his death in 347 BCE, according to legend, with his pen still in his hand.


What is the month, day, and year of Plato, Socartes, Aristophanes, and Aristole birthday?
According to another biographer of him, Neanthes, Plato was eighty-four years of age at his death. If we accept Neanthes' version, Plato was younger than Isocrates by six years, and therefore he was born in the second year of the 87th Olympiad, the year Pericles died (429 BC). According to the Suda, Plato was born in Aegina in the 88th Olympiad amid the preliminaries of the Peloponnesian war, and he lived 82 years. Sir Thomas Browne also believes that Plato was born in the 88th Olympiad. Renaissance Platonists celebrated Plato's birth on November 7. Wilamowitz-Moellendorff estimates that Plato was born when Diotimos was archon eponymous, namely between July 29 428 BC and July 24 427 BC.


Philosophy: The Athenian Philosophers: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle
Plato gave up all political aspirations after this tragedy, and pursued instead a career of travel and philosophy. He travelled to the Greek city of Syracuse in Sicily around 387 BCE, ruled by the despotic Dionysius, where he tutored and befriended Dion, a relative of the king.


Plato: Political Philosophy
Platoâs greatest achievement may be seen firstly in that he, in opposing the sophists, offered to decadent Athens, which had lost faith in her old religion, traditions, and customs, a means by which civilization and the cityâs health could be restored: the recovery of order in both the polis and the soul.


Philosophy: The Athenian Philosophers: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle
Socrates (c. 469-399 BCE) Born in Athens around 469 BCE, Socrates lived during the period of the city's greatest cultural expansion. Son of a midwife and sculptor, he was acquainted with the intellectual elite at the court of Pericles, ruler of Athens, despite his plebian origins.


Plato: Political Philosophy
To be sure, Platoâs philosophers, among whom he includes both men and women, are not those who can usually be found today in departments of philosophy and who are described as the âprisoners who take refuge in a templeâ (495a).


Literary Periods/Movements
During the time period we are looking at in this chapter, Athens had as many as 300,000 people, making it one of the largest cities in the world. About half were free, one third were slaves, and one sixth were foreigners (metics). The free adult males who could vote numbered about 50,000.


FDA Approves ApoquelÂ® (oclacitinib) to Control Itch and Inflammation in Allergic Dogs
Reported side effects include vomiting, diarrhea and loss of appetite. These side effects are usually mild and tend to be self-limiting. The drug has been used in a long-term study lasting 3 years and it appears to be safe.


FDA Approves APOQUELÂ® (oclacitinib tablet) to Control Itch and Inflammation in Allergic Dogs
The most common side effects seen in dogs administered APOQUEL were vomiting and diarrhea. APOQUEL has been safely used in conjunction with other common medications including antibiotics and parasiticides and with vaccinations.


FDA Approves ApoquelÂ® (oclacitinib) to Control Itch and Inflammation in Allergic Dogs
FDA Approves Apoquel. Apoquel (oclacitinib) produced by Zoetis, has been recently approved for the control of pruritus (itch) associated with allergic dermatitis in dogs 12 months of age or older.


FDA Approves ApoquelÂ® (oclacitinib) to Control Itch and Inflammation in Allergic Dogs
How Apoquel works: allergens such as dust mites, pollens or molds cross through the skin and stimulate cells in the skin and lymph nodes called T lymphocytes. These lymphocytes produce chemical messengers called cytokines. One of the cytokines is called IL-31.


FDA Approves APOQUELÂ® (oclacitinib tablet) to Control Itch and Inflammation in Allergic Dogs
Pruritus, or itching, is the most common sign of allergies in dogs. Developed by Zoetis, APOQUEL is the first Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor approved for veterinary use that targets the itch and inflammation pathway. APOQUEL provides fast-acting relief from itching and improves inflammation for the estimated 8.2 million dogs that suffer from short-and long-term allergic skin conditions.


What is Apoquel?
It is a completely different family of drug from those vets currently have access to for itchy dogs (steroids, antihistamines, immunotherapy, cyclosporines). The drug is reported as starting to work and give benefit to your dog within 4 hours of the first tablet. Itching is said to be controlled after just 24 hours.


FDA Approves APOQUELÂ® (oclacitinib tablet) to Control Itch and Inflammation in Allergic Dogs
The approval of APOQUEL is encouraging because it will provide both veterinarians and pet owners with a treatment that reduces itch within hours and provides long term relief of itching and inflammation for dogs without the side effects of steroids..


FDA Approves APOQUELÂ® (oclacitinib tablet) to Control Itch and Inflammation in Allergic Dogs
The frequency and type of adverse events were similar between APOQUEL-and placebo-treated dogs in short-term trials. Minimal adverse events were reported in multiple long-term trials. In clinical studies, the most common side effects observed in dogs treated with APOQUEL were vomiting and diarrhea.

Americans to Drop $20 Billion for Valentine's Day. Favorable economic conditions have set the stage for what's expected to be a record-setting holiday. By Andrew Soergel, Economy Reporter |Feb. 11, 2016, at 2:44 p.m.


Americans to Drop $20 Billion for Valentine's Day
Older Americans are significantly less likely to celebrate Valentine's Day than those in their late 20s and early 30s. Andrew Soergel for USN&WR; Source: National Retail Federation. In light of that, it's certainly notable that 2016 is still expected to be a record-setting year for Valentine's Day spending. Less than half (47.1 percent) of individuals whose annual wages fall short of $50,000 said they would recognize the holiday in some capacity, according to the survey, compared with nearly 62 percent of individuals whose pay exceeds that benchmark.


Americans to Drop $20 Billion for Valentine's Day
In all, those celebrating this year are expected to spend an average of $146.84 on Valentine's Day-related gifts, up slightly from 2015's $142.31. Chivalry also looks like it's still alive and kicking in 2016, as men are expected to shell out nearly twice as much as women, with average expenses totaling $196.39 compared with women's $99.87.

Americans to Drop $20 Billion for Valentine's Day
The NRF's average Valentine's Day spending estimate has now increased for seven consecutive years and currently sits almost 20 percent higher than it did in 2008. These gains have been made possible in part by the growing number of Americans working in either full-time or part-time jobs; since the beginning of 2010, U.S. companies have created a net of more than 13.5 million new full-time and part-time positions.


Of Love & Money: Valentineâs Day in the UK
Exactly how much we British spend on Valentineâs Day varies depending on the survey you look at, but whichever one you choose, the days of a simple card and a box of chocolates being sufficient on the 14th of February seem to be long gone. On average, men spent Â£40 on their partner on Valentineâs Day, whereas women spent an average of Â£24. And we donât just spend money on our partners on Valentineâs Day.

Although Roman numerals came to be written with letters of the Roman alphabet, they were originally independent symbols. The Etruscans, for example, used ð  , ð¡ , ð¢ , â , ð , and â for I, V, X, L, C, and M, of which only I and X happened to be letters in their alphabet.rom the 14th century on, Roman numerals began to be replaced in most contexts by more convenient Hindu-Arabic numerals; however, this process was gradual, and the use of Roman numerals in some minor applications continues to this day.

What is the 'Participation Rate'
DEFINITION of 'Participation Rate'. A measure of the active portion of an economy's labor force. The participation rate refers to the number of people who are either employed or are actively looking for work.he number of people who are no longer actively searching for work would not be included in the participation rate. During an economic recession, many workers often get discouraged and stop looking for employment, as a result, the participation rate decreases.

Definition of Labor Force Participation Rate
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the labor force participation rate is the share of the population 16 years and older working or seeking work..According to the site, the formula for determining the labor force participation rate is:he labor force participation rate has hovered around 65-67 over the past decade or so. It is currently sitting at 65.5. The rate has increased dramatically over the past 50 years or so due to more women entering the workforce. For comparison's sake, the labor force participation rate was around 58-59 in the late '40s.


-
The participation rate is an important metric to note when looking at unemployment data because unemployment figures reflect the number of people who are looking for jobs but are unable to secure employment. The participation rate is important in analyzing the unemployment rate.he number of people who are no longer actively searching for work would not be included in the participation rate. During an economic recession, many workers often get discouraged and stop looking for employment, as a result, the participation rate decreases.


Will Labor Force Participation Bounce Back?
The labor force participation rate is defined as the percentage of the civilian noninstitutional population 16 and over working or looking for work. It is largely determined by demography, most notably the share of the adult population of prime working age, typically 25 to 54.he most recent U.S. recession and recovery have been accompanied by a sharp decline in the labor force participation rate. The largest declines have occurred in states with the largest job losses. This suggests that some of the recent drop in the national labor force participation rate could be cyclical.

Down syndrome
Because of improvements in health care and better education, and because more people with this condition are being raised at home, most adults with Down syndrome can expect to function well enough to live in a group home and hold a meaningful job. Down syndrome (trisomy 21) occurs in about one in 1,000 live births.

â¡--To assess for spinal cord compression from atlantoaxial instability, test gait, tone, Babinski responses, deep tendon reflexes and clonus. Assess for neck pain, torticollis, gait disturbances, spasticity and weakness. Advise the family or caregiver of symptoms to report to the physician.


-
Atlanto-axial instability or AAI describes an increased flexibility between the first and second bones of the neck. Most individuals with Down syndrome have some increased flexibility of joints, called ligamentous laxity, which can affect any of their joints.


Can Down Syndrome Cause Neck Problems?
Such symptoms and signs often remain relatively stable for months or years; occasionally they progress, rarely even to aralysis (paraplegia, hemiplegia, quadriplegia) or even death. About 15% of individuals under the age of 21 who have Down syndrome have AAI.


-
Patients with Down syndrome are likely to have a variety of illnesses, including thyroid disease, diabetes, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, hearing loss, atlantoaxial subluxation and Alzheimer's disease.


Can Down Syndrome Cause Neck Problems?
The causes of AAI are not fully understood but they may include abnormalities of the ligaments that maintain the integrity of this joint between the first (C-1) and second (C-2) cervical vertebrae or be related to bony abnormalities of either or both of these vertebrae. AAI can be so mild as to not cause symptoms. It is only discovered as an incidental finding on an X-ray. The instability is recognized through lateral neck radiographs (films taken from the side) in which the excessive mobility of C-2 relative to C-1 results in an abnormally large distance between these two vertebrae.


-
A space between parts of the first and second cervical vertebrae (atlanto-dens space) of more than 5 millimeters is considered suggestive of atlanto-axial instability. How Often Does Atlanto-axial Instability Occur? 85% of individuals with Down syndrome have no evidence of atlanto-axial instability. 13-14% show evidence of instability by x-ray only and have no symptoms. This is called asymptomatic atlanto-axial instability. Only 1-2% have symptoms that may require treatment.


-
RA (the most common disease cause) and Paget disease of the cervical spine can cause atlantoaxial dislocation or subluxation, basilar invagination, or platybasia. Metastatic tumors that affect bone can cause atlantoaxial dislocation or subluxation.

Health-related conditions beyond those of the general population that should be screened for in patients with Down syndrome are presented in detail in the âHealth Care Guidelines for Individuals with Down Syndrome,â 5 the most widely published health care guidelines that include adults.


Flash Facts About Lightning
Some lightning originates in the top of the thunderstorm, the area carrying a large positive charge. Lightning from this area is called positive lightning. Positive lightning is particularly dangerous, because it frequently strikes away from the rain core, either ahead or behind the thunderstorm. It can strike as far as 5 or 10 miles (8 or 16 kilometers) from the storm, in areas that most people do not consider to be a lightning-risk area.


What Is Heat Lightning? Not Real, That's What.
Heat lightning may be one of the most misused weather terms during the summer months, but it is likely not what you think it is. Many people believe heat lightning is produced by hot and humid conditions, lighting up the night sky without any rain or thunder in the immediate area. This theory is completely false, and heat lightning does not actually exist. (WATCH: Texas Couple Recovering After Freak Lightning Encounter)


Understanding Lightning Science
What is lightning? Lightning is a giant spark of electricity in the atmosphere between clouds, the air, or the ground. In the early stages of development, air acts as an insulator between the positive and negative charges in the cloud and between the cloud and the ground.


Flash Facts About Lightning
When you see lightning, count the time until you hear thunder. If that time is 30 seconds or less, the thunderstorm is within six miles (ten kilometers) of you and is dangerous. Seek shelter immediately. The threat of lightning continues for a much longer period than most people realize.


Revealed: The Myths and Facts About Heat Lightning
As observed in the aforementioned facts, you should remember that heat lightning is equally dangerous as ordinary lightning. Many people enjoy watching the brilliant orange flashes of light near the horizon. But it is advised to immediately seek shelter indoors.


Revealed: The Myths and Facts About Heat Lightning
Myth: Heat lightning is caused due to heat or hot weather. Fact: The term 'heat lightning' is a misnomer. It is not caused due to heat or hot weather. It is, however, observed in warm seasons. Myth: As heat lightning occurs only in summer, it is not dangerous. Fact: It is caused due to thunderstorms.


Heat lightning
For the 1934 film, see Heat Lightning (film). Heat lightning, sometimes known as silent lightning, is the name used for the faint flashes of lightning on the horizon or other clouds from distant thunderstorms that do not have accompanying sounds of thunder.


Heat lightning
Heat lightning can also occur if cloud-to-ground lightning occurs very far away and the sound dissipates before it reaches the observer. At night, it is possible to see the flashes of lightning from very far distances, up to 100 miles, but the sound does not carry that far.
