CHAPTER 15
Joints and fractures that develop in rocks are areas of weakness where physical weathering can take place. Freezing water in cracks of rocks is a very important physical weathering action. This is called frost wedging and is most common in areas of mid to high latitudes and highland areas. Fragments of rock (talus) tumble down the slope forming piles called talus slopes and cone shaped piles called talus cones.


Weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called a. chemical weathering. c. biological weathering. b. physical weathering. d. acid weathering.
Weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called. a. chemical weathering. c. biological weathering. b. physical weathering. Also known as mechanical weathering, this kind of weathering does not alter the chemical composition of rocks. The three types of physical weathering are: frost wedging, thermal expansion and biological weathering.


-
Chemical weathering. The weathering of rocks by chemicals is called chemical weathering. Rainwater is naturally slightly acidic because carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in it. Minerals in rocks may react with the rainwater, causing the rock to be weathered. Some types of rock are easily weathered by chemicals.

Oxygen in air and water react with the iron to form rust. Minerals in rocks also undergo chemical changes when they react. with water and air. is the breakdown of rocks. by chemical reactions that change the rocksâ makeup, or composition. When minerals in rocks come into contact with air and water, some.

Weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. Physical weathering just changes the way the rock looks on the outside.


Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, and Soil
After thousands of years, the softer outer parts of Devil's Tower have eroded away,leaving the harder more resistant igneous volcanic neck. This is a spectacular example.


-
The same thing can happen to rocks. is the process by which natural forces break down. rocks. In this section you will read about two kinds of weathering. One kind occurs when a rock is physically broken apartâlike the. cracked sidewalk. Another kind occurs when a chemical reaction. changes the makeup of a rock.

Threat Modeling and Agile Development Practices
Typically, threat modeling is considered to be an activity that takes place in the design phase of the SDL methodology as shown in Figure 4. However, when following agile methodologies, it can be beneficial to begin threat modeling earlier in the process. Figure 4. Simplified SDL process and threat modeling.


SDLC - Quick Guide
SDLC Models. There are various software development life cycle models defined and designed which are followed during the software development process. These models are also referred as Software Development Process Models. Each process model follows a Series of steps unique to its type to ensure success in the process of software development.


Threat Modeling Made Easy
The JW Secure threat modeling process evolved from two resources. The first is Threat Modeling, the book by Swiderski and Snyder. The second is the SDL Threat Modeling Tool from Microsoft. After thoroughly investigating the concepts, we evolved them to work well in simpler projects that target a single point solution. The first step in modeling any system is identification of the data assets that need to be protected.

What are the 6 characteristics of DNA?
1 The sugar-phosphate backbones of the two DNA strands wind around the helix axis like the railing of a sprial staircase. 2  The bases of the individual nucleotides are on the inside of the helix, stacked on top of each other like the steps of a spiral staircase.


Sugar phosphate backbone?
There is no difference between the sugar-phosphate arrangement in the backbone of the DNA from the plant, mammal, and bacterium. What makes plant, mammal, and bacterium differ â¦ ent is the sequence of the DNA nucleotides. Answered. In Biology.


Contents: DNA vs RNA
Like DNA, RNA is composed of its phosphate group, five-carbon sugar (the less stable ribose), and four nitrogen-containing nucleobases: adenine, uracil (not thymine), guanine, and cytosine. RNA folding in on itself into a hairpin loop. In both molecules, the nucleobases are attached to their sugar-phosphate backbone.


-
DNA is made up of a base (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine), a phosphate and a deoxyribose Sugar. The phosphate and the sugar form the backbone whi â¦ le the bases form the links in between. 1 person found this useful.


Contents: DNA vs RNA
A nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all modern living organisms. DNA's genes are expressed, or manifested, through the proteins that its nucleotides produce with the help of RNA.


If DNA is a ladder, what are the uprights (sides) made of?
DNA Backbone. The DNA backbone is a polymer with an alternating sugar-phosphate sequence. The deoxyribose sugars are joined at both the 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-hydroxyl groups to phosphate groups in ester links, also known as phosphodiester bonds.


DNA Structure Activity
DNA is a polymer. The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides, and the polymer is known as a polynucleotide.. Each nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar, and a phosphate group. There are four different types of nucleotides found in DNA, differing only in the nitrogenous base. The four nucleotides are given one letter abbreviations as shorthand for the four bases.


Bilirubin
A small amount of older red blood cells are replaced by new blood cells every day. Bilirubin is left after these older blood cells are removed. The liver helps break down bilirubin so that it can be removed from the body in the stool. A high level of bilirubin in the blood can lead to jaundice. Jaundice is a yellow color in the skin, mucus membranes, or eyes. Jaundice is the most common reason to check bilirubin level.


ASO Titer
Risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include: 1  Bleeding from where the needle was insertedÃÃ¢. 2  Fainting or feeling lightheaded. 3  Hematoma (blood collecting under the skin) 4  Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)


Bilirubin
The bilirubin blood test measures the level of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment found in bile, a fluid made by the liver. Bilirubin can also be measured with a urine test.


Test Center
Direct Bilirubin, Indirect Bilirubin (calculated), Total Bilirubin. Methodology. Spectrophotometry (SP) Limitations. The formation of endogenous carotenoids in infants older than ten days may affect results. Reference Range(s)


Bilirubin
A bilirubin test is also ordered when the provider suspects a person has liver or gallbladder problems. Normal Results. It is normal to have some bilirubin in the blood. A normal level is: Direct (also called conjugated) bilirubin: less than 0.3 mg/dL (less than 5.1 Ã ÃÂµmol/L) Total bilirubin: 0.1 to 1.2 mg/dL (1.71 to 20.5 Ã ÃÂµmol/L)


Total Bilirubin (Blood)
Total Bilirubin (Blood) Does this test have other names? Total serum bilirubin, TSB What is this test? This is a blood test that measures the amount of a substance called bilirubin. This test is used to find out how well your liver is working. It is often given as part of a panel of tests that measure liver function. A small amount of bilirubin in your blood is normal, but a high level may be a sign of liver disease. The liver makes bile to help you digest food, and bile contains bilirubin. Most bilirubin comes from the body's normal process of breaking down old red blood cells. A healthy liver can normally get rid of bilirubin.

The CPT codes provided are based on AMA guidelines and are for informational purposes only. CPT coding is the sole responsibility of the billing party. Please direct any questions regarding coding to the payer being billed.


Newborn Jaundice
In newborns, bilirubin level is higher for the first few days of life. 1  Your child's provider must consider the following when deciding whether your baby's bilirubin level is too high: 2  How fast the level has been rising. 3  Whether the baby was born early. 4  The baby's age.


Bilirubin
The following liver problems may also cause jaundice or a high bilirubin level: 1  Scarring of the liver (cirrhosis) 2  Swollen and inflamed liver (hepatitis) 3  Other liver disease. 4  Disorder in which bilirubin is not processed normally by the liver (Gilbert disease)

In 1912, James Deering bought 130 acres of land in Coconut Grove with frontage on Biscayne Bay. Two years later he purchased an additional 50 acres. Construction of Vizcaya began in 1913 and was inspired by an Italian villa-the baroque Villa Rezzonico -- in Bassano del Grappa.


Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
Vizcaya: north Villa facade from the garden Casino. Vizcaya was built with an open-air courtyard and extensive gardens on Biscayne Bay. As such, the estate has been subject to environmental and hurricane damage, the latter notably in 1926, 1992, and 2005.


-
The village, located across what is now South Miami Avenue, was built between 1917 and 1922 to house staffâsuch as a chauffeur, a French chef, a pastry chef, and the estate superintendentâand to support life in the main house. A greenhouse supplied fresh flowers, fruit, and vegetables for Deering, his guests, and staff.


James Deering's Vizcaya
James Deering's Vizcaya. Iâm just back from a winter break in south Florida, and I visited the Vizcaya mansion on the shores of Miamiâs Biscayne Bay last Sunday. Vizcaya was built over a span of two years, 1914-1916, by James Deering (1859-1925), co-founder and vice president of International Harvester.


-
James oversaw the details in building Vizcaya just as he managed his factories: he studied the problem, involved himself in every detail, made his wishes known, and expected his employees to deliver. Construction was completed in 1922. The main house at Vizcaya is distinguished for its Italian Renaissance-inspired architecture and its interiors filled with European, Asian, and American artifacts spanning two millennia.


James Deering's Vizcaya
While staying at Vizcaya, Sargent painted a series of watercolors of male nudes, using the African-American workers on the premises as models (see watercolor below). A further clue to Deeringâs sexual orientation is a statue in the gardens that depicts Ganymede, the mythological gay youth who was the lover of Zeus.


James Deering's Vizcaya
During the construction, ten percent of Miamiâs population worked at the Vizcaya site. The original 180 acres included a working farm, machine shop, staff residences, garages, greenhouse, and a paint and carpentry workshop. Portrait inscribed: to Mr James Deering from his friend John S. Sargent *, Miami 1917.


-
In 1945 the archdiocese of Miami purchased 130 acres of Vizcaya, filled in the lagoon, and built a hospital, school, and housing. Dade County exercised an option to purchase the house, with a very favorable price and terms to the county.


Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
Miami-Dade County now owns the Vizcaya property, as the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, which is open to the public. 'Villa Vizcaya' is served by the Vizcaya Station of the Miami Metrorail.


-
James Deering built the village with the intent of making Vizcaya virtually self-sufficient. This idea evoked the spirit of European precedents while compensating for the limited services and commodities available in early twentieth-century Miami.

FDIC Insurance: How Safe Is Your Money?
Deposits in credit unions aren't covered by the FDIC. However, federal credit unions are required to be members of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), administered by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). This provides deposit insurance for credit unions in much the same way as the FDIC provides insurance for banks. Look for the NCUA logo at your credit union's teller stations. The standard maximum limit is $250,000 per individual account holder, per federally insured credit union.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin (CT) are two peptide hormones that play important roles in calcium homeostasis through their actions on osteoblasts (bone forming cells) and osteoclasts (bone resorbing cells), respectively.one remodeling is the concerted interplay of two cellular activities: osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation. Bone remodeling is the physiologic process that maintains bone mass, skeletal integrity and skeletal function.


Bone Remodeling
Bone cells. Bone may seem to be stable and unchanging, but in fact, bone is constantly being remodeled. Bone remodeling is triggered by a need for calcium in the extracellular fluid, but it also occurs in response to mechanical stresses on the bone tissue.TH stimulates the generation of new osteoclasts (osteoclastogenesis). After osteoclasts form, the first step necessary for bone resorption to occur is that the mature osteoclast needs to tightly adhere to the bone, creating a specialized isolated compartment.


Bone Remodeling
PTH stimulates bone resorption by osteoclasts, but it does so indirectly. Receptors for PTH are located on osteoblasts, which then signal to bone marrow-derived osteoclast precursors to stimulate their fusion, differentiation and activation.TH stimulates the generation of new osteoclasts (osteoclastogenesis). After osteoclasts form, the first step necessary for bone resorption to occur is that the mature osteoclast needs to tightly adhere to the bone, creating a specialized isolated compartment.

The effects of PTH and vitamin D on bone are the result of their direct and indirect effects on the functional cells of bone remodeling units and their precursors. These effects are probably modified or controlled by growth factors, cytokines, and PGs generated locally by the process of bone remodeling.orphology and biochemistry of bone remodeling: possible control by vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and other substances.

Like all peptide hormones it has an N-terminal and C-terminal region.


Parathyroid Hormone
Introduction. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a principal regulator of calcium balance in physiological and pathological conditions associated with cardiovascular disorders and plays a major physiological role in bone homeostasis (Figure 1).ntroduction. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a principal regulator of calcium balance in physiological and pathological conditions associated with cardiovascular disorders and plays a major physiological role in bone homeostasis (Figure 1).


How do hormones regulate bone remodeling?
The bone remodeling process maintains the skeleton by replacing old bone with new. This important task in the body's housekeeping scheme requires more than osteoclasts (cells that break down bone) and osteoblasts (construction cells); a host of hormones work quietly behind the scenes to influence the behavior of cells.arathyroid hormone, which is secreted by small islands of tissue near the thyroid gland, is a primary force in resorption, the process by which calcium is released from bones. Parathyroid hormone is secreted when the level of calcium in the blood falls below the amount needed by the body's cells.

5 Mistakes to Avoid When Making Beef Stew
Not cooking the stew long enough. Chuck meat is your best bet for beef stew, but it's also a pretty tough cut so it needs time to break down and become tender. Rush the cooking process and the beef will be tough and chewy. Follow this tip: For really tender meat, cook the stew low and slow, for approximately two hours.


Roasting Beef
Pour the marinade into a ziplock bag. Add the stew meat, seal the bag, and place it in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours. Turn the bag occasionally to ensure even distribution of the marinade. Remove the stew meat from the marinade and prepare to cook it.


5 Mistakes to Avoid When Making Beef Stew
Stew is the ideal time to skip the lean, pricier cuts of meat and go for the less expensive, tougher cuts. The long, slow cook time leaves lean meat, like sirloin, tough and chewy, while tougher cuts, like chuck, break down and become really tender. Follow this tip: Stick with using chuck meat.


-

How do I cook for larger quantity yields? When preparing dishes with beef or pork in a larger unit, browning the meat in a skillet before adding to the slow cooker yields the best results; the meat will cook more evenly. Roasted meats, chicken, and turkey quantities may be doubled or tripled and seasonings adjusted by half.


How to Make Stew Meat Tender
Searing helps to caramelize the proteins and seal in moisture, which makes the meat tender. Add a cup of water, beef stock, or other cooking liquid to the pan. Simmer the stew meat in the liquid about 2 hours, covered. To make beef stew, add chunks of potatoes, carrots, and celery, and season to your liking.


How to Avoid Bland, Dry Stew Meat
Moisture is exuded faster than it can be evaporated. Rather than searing, you end up simmering and steaming your meat chunks. Instead of taking 10 minutes to brown, you end up blasting your meat with high heat for 20 minutes in order to first drive off that extra moisture. All of this increases the amount of stringy, dry, steamed meat in your final stew.


How long does it take to cook beef stew?
exists and is an alternate of . The longer and slower, the better. Three hours is generally a good time, the time is not calculated per pound as one would for a roast.

Why is blue such a rare color in nature?
All blue coloration in birds and butterflies, for example, is structural in nature. Blue eyes in humans are caused by the same Rayleigh scattering phenomenon @tennesseejac mentioned. So it would seem that only one remote corner of the animal kingdom has evolved an actual blue pigment.


Why is blue such a rare color in nature?
The blue foods question got me thinking about this. Aside from a select few, there arent many blue animals i can think of either. After some google searching i came up with this âBlue is rare in living nature as it is a colour that is associated with organic molecules in alkaline conditions: few living systems have an alkaline chemistry.â

Blue as a pigment in nature is incredibly rare. Most animals with blue coloration achieve it through microscopic structures in their skin, fur, or feathers. This helpful explainer delves into the details. Among living things, the color blue is oddly rare.


Why is blue such a rare color in nature?
When you say blue animals, the first thing I think of is fish. Small fish. Of course the ocean is blue (or blue-green depending on your opinion), so blue is a logical camouflage color so as not to be noticed at distances. could it be that animals in general are not blue because their surroundings arenât?


Why is the color blue so rare in nature (especially the plant kingdom)?
Biue is rare because those chemicals( pigments) which reflect blue are highly energy expensive . So for blue colour evolution comes in , and the blue butterflies , blue colour in peakock , blue feathers are not blue because they have chemicals but because of their structure .

Learning About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. Males have only one copy of the X chromosome from their mother and one copy of the Y chromosome from their father. If their X chromosome has a DMD gene mutation, they will have Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Females, on the other hand, have two copies of the X chromosomes.. Since females have two copies of this gene, if one copy does not work, they have a second back up copy to produce the dystrophin protein.


Learning About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Often these boys are classified as having Becker muscular dystrophy. Genetic testing (looking at the body's genetic instructions) on a blood sample for changes in the DMD gene can help establish the diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy without performing a muscle biopsy.


-
Muscular dystrophy refers to a group of genetic diseases marked by progressive damage to and weakness of facial, limb, breathing, and heart muscles. It is due to a lack of key protein. Find out more about the types, symptoms, and treatment.


-
Other mutations abnormally duplicate part of the gene or change a small number of DNA building blocks (nucleotides) in the gene. Mutations that cause Becker muscular dystrophy, which typically has milder features and appears at a later age than Duchenne muscular dystrophy, usually lead to an abnormal version of dystrophin that retains some function.

Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy
Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy. More than 2,000 mutations in the DMD gene have been identified in people with the Duchenne and Becker forms of muscular dystrophy. These conditions occur almost exclusively in males and are characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting (atrophy) and a heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy.


Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common form affecting children. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is the most common form affecting adults. Mutations can develop âde novoâ and lack of family history of MD does not rule out the possibility of muscular dystrophies. The following are three primary types of inheritance by which the faulty gene that causes MD can be passed along to offspring:


-
Although dilated cardiomyopathy is a sign of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (described above), X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy is typically not associated with weakness and wasting of skeletal muscles. The mutations that cause X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy preferentially affect the activity of dystrophin in cardiac muscle cells.


All about muscular dystrophy
Muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations on the X chromosome. Each version of muscular dystrophy is due to a different set of mutations, but all prevent the body from producing dystrophin. Dystrophin is a protein essential for building and repairing muscles.

Christopher Columbus Ships
In 1492 King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain finally give Christopher Columbus the money and ships for his expedition. The names of the 1497 Christopher Columbus Ships were the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria.

Ship believed to be Christopher Columbus' Santa Maria has been looted: explorer. An image of the Santa Maria, one of Christopher Columbus' cargo ships on his 1492 expedition. Don't expect to find any sunken treasure on Christopher Columbus' ship. A deep sea explorer who believes he's found the Santa Maria says the wreck's been looted by thieves in the decade since he first came across it. Among the priceless items looted from the long-lost cargo ship was a cannon that served as a crucial element in the vessel's identification, explorer Barry Clifford said.


Christopher Columbusâ Ship, The Santa Maria, May Have Been Found Off The Coast Of Haiti
The third ship, the Pinta, was separated from the other two at the time. One year later, Columbus returned with 17 ships and some 1,200 men, but the settlement had been burned and no one remained. The 2003 discovery of the possible ruins of La Navidad led Clifford to the current location off the coast, where he re-examined the wreck that had been found by his team.
