Megohmmeter
an instrument used in measuring very high electric resistance (above 10s ohms), particularly that of insulation on wires, cables, connectors, transformers, and windings of electric motors, as well as for measuring surface and volume resistance of insulating materials.


What is a Megohmmeter?
A megohmmeter, or megger as it is more commonly known, is an electrical test instrument designed to test extremely high resistances by producing a DC (direct current) voltage of between 300 and 15,000 volts.


What is a Megohmmeter?
Resistances in these cases may range from several megohms to several million megohms and require a test voltage far higher than that utilized by smaller ohmmeters. A megohmmeter uses DC voltages ranging from 300 to 15,000 volts to accurately measure these very high resistance values.

Megohmmeter
(electricity) An instrument which is used for measuring the high resistance of electrical materials of the order of 20,000 megohms at 1000 volts; one direct-reading type employs a permanent magnet and a moving coil.


What is a Megohmmeter?
There are two basic types of megohmmeter: a battery operated variety and one that makes use of a hand crank or motor operated generator. Both megohmmeter variants are capable of conducting accurate insulation resistance testing on installations and equipment with resistances of several teraohms (1,000,000 megohms).


How Far Apart to Plant Strawberry Plants?
Soil and Planting. Strawberry plants grow best in full sun and well-drained soils with pH ranges of 5.5 to 7.5. Test the soil before planting. Do not plant strawberries in garden soil previously used for peppers, tomatoes or eggplantsâthese vegetables strip the soil of needed nutrients.


Companion Planting Strawberries
Companion Planting Strawberries. To begin, it is important to remember the nature of strawberry plants. They are prolific, can be somewhat invasive, and most varieties will quickly form a thick matted row made up of strawberry runners if left alone.


How to Grow Strawberries Successfully in Containers
Hanging baskets, terracotta pots and special strawberry planters are just some of the containers to grow them in, though for bucolic effect I prefer old wooden wine or vegetable crates. You can seek out originals or source convincing replicas online.


OK to plant strawberries in other areas of the garden?
OK to plant strawberries in other areas of the garden? Last year (my first year) one of my two 4x4 SFG plots had one row of strawberries... the front row. The back row was all tomatoes. The center 4 squares had peppers, the other four were pole beans and peas.


How to Grow Strawberries Successfully in Containers
My first brush with growing strawberries was as an enthusiastic teenager. I'd grown them in a mismatching trio of pots and watched them with obsessional eagerness, all the while willing the plants to flower then the green fruits to turn red.


-
RE: A final note on planting: don't plant strawberries in or near an area that is currently growing tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplants, or raspberries. These plants can harbor verticillium wilt, which can infect strawberry plants... That was what I found as well. My strawberries produced fairly well last year considering I planted them last spring... and they were in the same 4x4 plot as my tomatoes and peppers. The peppers bordered the strawberries.


How Far Apart to Plant Strawberry Plants?
How Far Apart to Plant Strawberry Plants? Strawberry plants need room to grow. Ripe, red, sweet, tangy, juicy strawberries add flavor to summertime, whether you eat them in a fruit salad or straight from the garden. Strawberry plants are hardy; you can plant them in pots, baskets, boxes or straight into the garden. When planting strawberries in a garden, some pre-planning is needed.


How to Grow Strawberries Successfully in Containers
Alternatively, you can plant regular pot-sold strawberries which should also bear fruit in the same summer. Set plants into multipurpose potting soil, spacing them 25-30cm (10-12in) apart â this is closer than they would be in the ground as it will be easier to water and feed them.


How to Grow Strawberries Successfully in Containers
Caring for Strawberries in Containers. Compost should be kept moist by watering whenever the soil dries out. When watering, try to keep moisture off the leaves to prevent fungal diseases getting a hold and spoiling the fruits. If you can, carefully lift the leaves to apply the water to your sunken pots.


How to Grow Strawberries Successfully in Containers
Fill your tub with compost to within an inch of the rim then plant your strawberries so that each crown (where the leaves emerge) sits just above the surface. Firm the plants in and water to settle the compost around the roots. I like to sink empty 7cm (3in) pots into the compost at regular intervals.


dufus

doofus
A doofus is a dummy or a simpleton â in other words, a goofy person who's not very smart. You might decide not to buy a top hat and suspenders after trying them on, looking in a mirror, and realizing you look like a doofus. Use the informal doofus when someone acts with stupidity or does something ridiculous and unthinking.

Around how much do acoustic guitar lessons cost?
Report Abuse. Ok if your in school, try and get lessons through the music faculty. At my school, independent guitar lessons cost $20, $15 if you do it with a group for half an hour.If you go to a private institution, the price does vary a lot, sometimes $30 - $50 for half an hour.f you go to a company or through your school, they might let you borrow guitars. A nylon acoustic is pretty cheap, it's about $60, it's good for beginners. I'd suggest getting something like that if your serious about lessons.

Why Influenza Mandates are Ineffective
1 The influenza vaccine is less than 70 percent effective in preventing influenza, [4] and like all pharmaceutical products, use of influenza vaccine is not without risk of vaccine injury; [5].rom 2001 to 2007 less than 200 non-autism vaccine injury claims were filed annually with the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) . By 2010 reported claims have almost tripled, with the increase in claims largely due to adult influenza vaccine injury claims.


Influenza Vaccination Honor Roll
IAC is recognizing the stellar examples of influenza vaccination mandates in healthcare settings. The best way to prevent transmission of influenza to our patients is to mandate vaccination of healthcare personnel.The Influenza Vaccination Honor Roll represents the champions who have taken the lead in mandating influenza vaccination within their organization or institution.FID supports the public statements supporting mandatory healthcare worker influenza vaccination policies from AAP, IDSA and SHEA. Meaningful increases in healthcare worker immunization rates are essential to patient safety, a hallmark of our healthcare system.

HPV vaccination is also effective in males to protect their partners from HPV infections, as well as themselves from anal cancer and genital warts, and possibly other HPV associated cancers. Two vaccines have market approval in many countries as of 2014 (called Gardasil and Cervarix in the US).urrent preventive vaccines protect against the two HPV types (16 and 18) that cause about 70% of cervical cancers worldwide. Because of the distribution of HPV types associated with cervical cancer, the vaccines are likely to be most effective in Asia, Europe and North America.

Why Influenza Mandates are Ineffective
1 It is estimated that 80% of flu-like illness reported during the âflu seasonâ is not caused by influenza. [8] Some researchers estimate that, at best, vaccines might be effective against only influenza A and B, which represent about 10% of all circulating viruses.[ 2 9].rom 2001 to 2007 less than 200 non-autism vaccine injury claims were filed annually with the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) . By 2010 reported claims have almost tripled, with the increase in claims largely due to adult influenza vaccine injury claims.


Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccination: What Everyone Should Know
Children should receive two doses of MMR vaccineâthe first dose at 12 through 15 months of age and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Giving the second dose of the vaccine earlier is allowed at any time as long as it is at least 28 days after the first dose.hese 3 vaccines are safe given together. MMR is an attenuated (weakened) live virus vaccine. This means that after injection, the viruses grow and cause a harmless infection in the vaccinated person with very few, if any, symptoms.

Airline Requirements. Generally, most airlines allow you to carry on one bag plus one personal item per passenger. Does not exceed 45 inches when you total length plus width plus height. Fits in an overhead bin or underneath the seat in front of you.


Carry-on bag size varies by airline -- and can catch you by surprise
JetBlue and Southwest, for example, allow bigger bags that measure at most 24 inches long, 16 inches wide and 10 inches high. The solution, as always, is to read your airlineâs website. The information may be under its baggage policy or may be in its contract of carriage.


Airline Requirements
Generally, most airlines allow you to carry on one bag plus one personal item per passenger. Your bag should meet the following requirements: Does not exceed 45 inches when you total length plus width plus height. Weighs less than 40 pounds (18kg.)


Unitedâs Strict New Carry-On Baggage Rules Go Into Effect
The new size limits as posted are: Maximum dimensions for a carry-on bag are 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches (22 cm x 35 cm x 56 cm), including handles and wheels. Maximum dimensions for your personal item, such as a shoulder bag, backpack, laptop bag or other small item, are 9 inches x 10 inches x 17 inches (22 cm x 25 cm x 43 cm).


Airline Industry Proposes Ideal Bag Size For Overhead Bins
Airline Industry Proposes Ideal Bag Size For Overhead Bins. By June 9, 2015. Line up to board a plane, and you will see a wide array of carry-on bags in a variety of shapes, colors and, unfortunately for the airline staff, many different sizes. While some of those oversized bags immediately get the boot, the assortment of sizes can still make it tough to maximize overhead bin space.


Carry-on bag size varies by airline -- and can catch you by surprise
Hobicaâs bag was 15 inches wide. Hereâs what Americanâs bag policy says: âYou can bring one small carry-on bag plus one personal item per passenger as long as the carry-on bag fits comfortably in the sizer without being forced and does not exceed overall dimensions of 45 inches (length plus width plus height).


Airline Industry Proposes Ideal Bag Size For Overhead Bins
Working with Boeing and Airbus, the IATA came up with exact measurements for the ideal size: 55 centimeters (21 inches) tall, 35 centimeters (13.5 inches) wide and 20 centimeters (7.5 inches) deep. Thatâs a few inches smaller than the maximum many airlines set for carry-on luggage.


Unitedâs Strict New Carry-On Baggage Rules Go Into Effect
Limiting bags to linear dimensions of 45 inches with a maximum single dimension of 22â is not the same as limits of 22 x 14 x 9 inches. For example, a cube of 15 inches on each side complies with the Contract of Carriage, while it would definitely not fit into the new sizer.

Eukaryotic DNA replication is a conserved mechanism that restricts DNA replication to only once per cell cycle. Eukaryotic DNA replication of chromosomal DNA is central for the duplication of a cell and is necessary for the maintenance of the eukaryotic genome.DNA replication is the action of DNA polymerases synthesizing a DNA strand complementary to the original template strand.To synthesize DNA, the double-stranded DNA is unwound by DNA helicases ahead of polymerases, forming a replication fork containing two single-stranded templates.he process of semiconservative replication for the site of DNA replication is a fork-like DNA structure, the replication fork, where the DNA helix is open, or unwound, exposing unpaired DNA nucleotides for recognition and base pairing for the incorporation of free nucleotides into double-stranded DNA.

The History of Hair Straighteners
Finally, it was in 1912 that the closest ancestor of the modern straighteners was born. Scottish heiress Lady Jennifer Bell Schofield, having studied many of the earlier designs and attempts, combined the best features to create a hinged, two plated iron.


Hair iron
Simon E. Monroe patented a hair straightener in 1906 that was like a metal comb. In 1909, Issac K. Shero patented a hair straightener made of two irons that are heated and put together around the hair. Years later, Sharrell made heated metal tools, for example: hot combs.

How did Michael Jackson get vitiligo - the disease that made his skin turn white?
The cause is not known. Vitiligo may be an autoimmune disease. These diseases happen when your immune system mistakenly attacks some part of your own body. In vitiligo, the immune system may destroy the melanocytes in the skin.It is also possible that one or more genes may make a person more likely to get the disorder. Some researchers think that the melanocytes destroy themselves. Others think that a single event such as sunburn or emotional distress can cause vitiligo.he disorder affects all races and both sexes equally, however, it is more noticeable in people with dark skin. People with certain autoimmune diseases (such as hyperthyroidism) are more likely to get vitiligo than people who donât have any autoimmune diseases.

FDR's Losing Battle To Pack The Supreme Court
When the first New Deal case reached the Supreme Court in January 1935, the court struck down a key piece of the National Recovery Administration, the centerpiece of [Roosevelt's] plans to get the country out of the Depression, explains historian Jeff Shesol, whose new book explores tensions between FDR and the high court.


Constitutional Issues - Separation of Powers
By 1937 the Court was widely regarded by the public as an enemy of working people. This sentiment was exacerbated by the Great Depression. In 1935-36, the Court struck down eight of FDR's New Deal programs, including the National Recovery Act (NRA) and the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA). Public antijudicial sentiment intensified; many critics questioned the constitutionality of the concept of judicial review itself.


Why did Franklin Roosevelt try to reform the Supreme Court?
In the year of 1937, Roosevelt tried to put in place many innovative and reforming programs in order to get the country out of the Depression. At that time the prevailing opinion on governments taking actions that were more like actions a private business would take was that it was most likely unconstitutional.


Evolution of Federalism
A ruling by Supreme Court Justice Taney that enhanced state power and limited national power by the Courtâs decision that the U.S. Congress did not have the authority to ban slavery in territories.

Why did President Roosevelt try to pack the Supreme Court?
FDR was unsuccessful in his efforts to pack the Supreme Court. He wanted the power to name another justice to the Court for every justice that was 70 years old or turned 70 â¦ in the future. Although Congress has the power to change the number of justices on the Court, it did not go along with FDR on this plan.


-
FDR packed supreme court with judges who were sympathetic to his New Deal because his New Deal allowed Congress to begin spending government money and he needed people who supâ¦ported his idea of Keynesian economics or the tax and spend policy which allowed the government to spend beyond its means.


Franklin D. Roosevelt
Franklin D. Roosevelt, in full Franklin Delano Roosevelt, byname FDR, (born January 30, 1882, Hyde Park, New York, U.S.âdied April 12, 1945, Warm Springs, Georgia), 32nd president of the United States (1933â45).


Franklin D. Roosevelt
Chastened by the recession, Roosevelt now began to pay more attention to advisers who counseled deficit spending as the best way to counter the depression. Late in 1937 he backed another massive government spending program, and by the middle of 1938 the crisis had passed. By 1938 the New Deal was drawing to a close.


CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS FOUNDATIONBill of Rights in Action
In 1935, the nine old men (as the Supreme Court justices were then sometimes called) unanimously ruled three times against FDR and his New Deal. One of the decisions declared that the National Industrial Recovery Act, a major New Deal effort to lift the country out of the Depression, was unconstitutional.

Overview
Hiatal hernia (also called hiatus hernia and paraesophageal hernia) occurs when part of the stomach protrudes into the thoracic cavity through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm. Embryologic development of the diaphragm is a complex process; a number of defects result in a variety of possible congenital hernias through the diaphragm.


Hernia Surgical Mesh Implants: Information for Patients
Recommendations for patients considering hernia repair: All medical devices and procedures carry certain benefits and risks. You should discuss your situation with your surgeon to determine your best option for hernia repair, including non-surgical and surgical options. When discussing your options for hernia repair with your doctor, some questions you should ask include: Before Surgery: What type of hernia do I have? What treatment options do you recommend for my hernia? What are the nonsurgical and surgical treatment options? What types of things should I consider in the decision to have surgery now or to wait?


Hiatal Hernia Imaging
CT scanning is not routinely used in the diagnosis of a hiatal hernia, but it may be a useful for specific indications. Hiatal hernias often are seen incidentally on CT scans obtained for other indications (see the image below). A hiatal hernia appears as a retrocardiac mass with or without an air-fluid level.


How is a hernia diagnosed?
Your doctor may also order specific tests to help diagnose a hernia. An ultrasound scan or a CT (computerized tomography) scan can help your doctor get a clearer picture of an abdominal hernia or other types of hernias. If your doctor suspects you have a hiatal hernia (a type of hernia that occurs where your esophagus meets your stomach), your doctor may order a test called an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).


Hernia Surgical Mesh Implants: Information for Patients
In my case, if you repair the hernia with mesh, what is the expected risk/benefit? Is there patient information that comes with the mesh product and if so, how can I obtain it? What is the risk for hernia recurrence? Pain? Infection? Other complications? Do these risks change depending on the type of mesh that you use? How does the operative approach you are recommending (e.g. open repair versus laparoscopic repair) affect how the mesh will be used?


MRI Findings in Inguinal Hernia
MRI imaging in clinically evident inguinal hernia is not routinely used. In other painful inguinal conditions (such as sportsmans hernia) inflammatory changes have been detected. The aim of the present study is to determine, whether similar inflammatory changes can be detected with MRI scan in inguinal hernia. Also, patient questionaires are used preoperatively and postoperatively to determine, if preoperative pain scores can be used as a predictive value for postoperative prolonged pain/neuralgia.


How is a hernia diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on the hernia symptoms and location. During a physical examination, the doctor will want to exam the hernia bulge. Depending on the location of the hernia, you may be asked to stand and cough, making the bulge easier to see. A testicular exam may also be part of the exam. In harder to diagnose cases or to confirm an initial diagnosis, x-ray, ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRIs can often be used to capture images of the hernia; sports hernias and some intraparietal (interstitial hernias) are the exception.


Hiatal Hernia Imaging
Radionuclides are not routinely used for the diagnosis of a hiatal hernia, but hiatal hernias may be incidentally found on whole-body radioiodine surveys performed in patients with thyroid cancer, in whom hernias may mimic metastatic cancer.


How is a hernia diagnosed?
Doctors may use several different tests or exams to diagnose a hernia, which is a weakness, tear or hole in a body tissue through which another body part may protrude, causing a bulge. The most important tool a doctor has for diagnosing a hernia is a thorough physical examination.

The arch encloses an opening, the vertebral foramen, which helps to form a canal in which the spinal cord is housed. Protruding from the posterior extreme of each neural arch is a spinous process and extending from the lateral edges of each arch are transverse processes.


Curvature And Movements Of The Vertebral Column
The range of movement of the vertebral column varies according to the region and the individual. Movements are extraordinary in some people, such as acrobats who begin to train in early childhood. The mobility of the vertebral column results primarily from the compressibility and elasticity of the IV discs. The following movements of the vertebral column are possible: flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation (torsion) . The range of movement of the vertebral column is limited by the. 1  Thickness, elasticity, and compressibility of the IV discs. 2  Shape and orientation of the facet joints. 3  Tension of the articular capsules of the zygapophysial joints.
