How wet to keep new grass seed?
Seed germination is such that the seeds don't die immediately upon drying out (or grass would never seed out in nature). If the seed remains dry for 24 hours, you lose 30%. 48 hours and you lose 60%. That means if you water once a day the amount of time the seed stays dry is less than 24 hours (the water takes time to evaporate). Your losses should be less than 30% even doing it that poorly, which you aren't. Your 4:15 watering certainly keeps things damp in most areas until morning.

Destination and distance signs are especially valuable to motorists unfamiliar with a particular area.


Gibbs free energy
The reaction C(s)diamondâC(s)graphite has a negative change in Gibbs free energy and is therefore thermodynamically favorable at 25Â°C and 1 atm. However, even though favorable, it is so slow that it is not observed. Whether a reaction is thermodynamically favorable does not determine its rate.


-
The beauty of the equation defining the free energy of a system is its ability to determine the relative importance of the enthalpy and entropy terms as driving forces behind a particular reaction.


Gibbs free energy
The Gibbs free energy is one of the most important thermodynamic functions for the characterization of a system. It is a factor in determining outcomes such as the voltage of an electrochemical cell, and the equilibrium constant for a reversible reaction.


Thermodynamics
Free Energy can be used to make things occur that wouldnât happen without a source of energy. Examples of work being done include the progress of a chemical reaction to create a new product, an engine running to turn the wheels of a car, and falling water moving the turbines of a hydroelectric power plant.


Thermodynamics
Section 1 explained how the first two laws of thermodynamics dictate the flow of energy through our universe. But how can we understand biochemical reactions in terms of these laws of energy flow? In the 1800s, a scientist named J. Willard Gibbs described a new value, âfree energy,â to helps us to do exactly that. Gibbs Free Energy, denoted by G, describes the energy available to do work within a system, in this case a chemical reaction.


-
Because of the way the free energy of the system is defined, Go is negative for any reaction for which Ho is negative and So is positive. Go is therefore negative for any reaction that is favored by both the enthalpy and entropy terms.


Thermodynamics
The figure above shows a reaction with a negative DG (the products have less free energy than the reactants). Such an energy-releasing reaction is said to be exergonic. However, some reactions have a positive DG (where products have more free energy than the starting reactants).


-
The Gibbs free energy of a system at any moment in time is defined as the enthalpy of the system minus the product of the temperature times the entropy of the system. G = H - TS. The Gibbs free energy of the system is a state function because it is defined in terms of thermodynamic properties that are state functions.


Thermodynamics
This heat energy is generated as the cost of doing work, and is therefore often called natureâs âheat tax.â The Gibbs Free Energy Change, or DG, is the difference between the G of the reactants and the G of the products.


-
The change in the Gibbs free energy of the system that occurs during a reaction is therefore equal to the change in the enthalpy of the system minus the change in the product of the temperature times the entropy of the system. If the reaction is run at constant temperature, this equation can be written as follows.


Downspout Extension Cost
1 Prices will vary considerably depending on the type and size of the system and the length of piping used. 2  Although a simple underground downspout kit starts at $20, total do-it-yourself costs (including piping) can range from $100-$400 or more.


Downspout Extension Cost
1 ThisOldHouse.com estimates that do-it-yourself installation of underground plastic drainage pipe for two downspouts on an average-size home could cost $100-$300 and take 16-20 hours, depending on the length of the pipe and the hardness of the soil.


Add A Downspout To Your Aluminum Gutter
Break out the crimpers. Crimp the corners to allow the filler piece to be inserted into the elbow. Install the filler piece between the elbows. Hold the elbows on the wall where they go and mark where the downspout will slide up on the elbow. Measure down to the top of a new elbow and up to your mark on the wall. Pull your tape line from the factory crimped side of the downspout. Mark the downspout length. Cut your mark. Assembly the complete downspout.


Downspout Extension Cost
1 A New York homeowner paid $250 to have a landscaper extend a downspout through an underground pipe and into a small drywell located four feet from the house, while Galtech.com reports that professionally installed French drains cost $850 for 33 feet.


Downspout Extension Cost
1 Or for about the same cost, you can buy a length of downspout pipe that matches your existing downspout plus a gutter elbow to create your own extension. 2  Having a handyman install this type of simple extension should take about an hour, and could cost $30-$100, depending on local rates.


Adding Gutters and Downspouts to Your Home
Using a chalk line, mark the line on the eaves where the gutter will hang. Gutters need a drop of approximately Â¼ inch every 10 feet so that the water flow in the gutter goes where is it supposed to and drains the gutters properly. The simplest way to mark this is to begin at the starting height of the gutter. Using the chalk line, mark a line 10 feet long at that height.


Downspout Extension Cost
1 The other option is to extend the downspout underground into plastic pipes that will either disperse the water aboveground at a distance from the home, into a small tank or drywell buried underground, or into an underground energy dissipation basin, often called a French drain.


Adding Gutters and Downspouts to Your Home
Put the next bracket slightly lower, adjusting them so that the last bracket on a 10 foot section is Â¼â lower than the starting bracket. Bracket hangers should be placed 6 inches from the end of any section, and 18 to 24 inches apart after that. They can be placed farther apart on seamless gutters.


Adding Gutters and Downspouts to Your Home
Adding gutters and downspouts to your home is a great way to increase the livability and add to the value of your home. Follow some simple steps to complete this improvement. Step One â Choose a Gutter Type.


Add A Downspout To Your Aluminum Gutter
Itâs a good idea to have one downspout for every 20â² of gutter. Adding a downspout to your existing drainage system is simpler that you think but it does require several tools. Here are the tools that you will need: Screw in the two brackets, anchor may be necessary if going into brick. Mark a 4â³x3â³ X that will be cut for water to drain out. Cut the X using a razor blade.

sarcoidosis
Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic lung disease involving the abnormal formation of fiber-like scar tissue in the lungs. In the early stages of the disease, the lungs can become inflamed, making breathing difficult.


Learn About Sarcoidosis
If you have sarcoidosis, the increased inflammation in your body may cause flu-like symptoms. This inflammation can lead to scar tissue in your lungs while also making them function more poorly. Many people with sarcoidosis also have skin and eye damage in addition to lung disease.

Also, asphalt is not a hard, tight material, but a soft, porous one. DON'T - Drive near or off the edges of your driveway. You may fracture the asphalt and crack the whole edge. All edges should be built up with soil and sod.


Asphalt Driveway Sealers
Where I live we use limestone stones to make asphalt paving. Left alone to weather, an asphalt driveway obtains a uniform color of gray. There are asphalt drives in my neighborhood that have not been sealed in 15 years. Had they been sealed three times in that time period I can't say that the driveway would be in any better condition. Absolutely do not seal a brand-new driveway.


Persuading the Prescribers: Pharmaceutical Industry Marketing and its Influence on Physicians and Patients
In 2012, the pharmaceutical industry spent more than $27 billion on drug promotion 1 â more than $24 billion on marketing to physicians and over $3 billion on advertising to consumers (mainly through television commercials).harmaceutical representatives typically visit doctors to pitch their drugs. Detailing also includes taking doctors out for meals and giving them gifts in the form of medical textbooks. As of 2012, approximately 72,000 pharmaceutical sales representatives were employed in the United States.


Pharmaceutical Companies Spent 19 Times More On Self-Promotion Than Basic Research: Report
Sales from these drugs generate steady profits throughout the ups and downs of blockbusters coming off patents.. The authors go on to say that for every dollar pharmaceutical companies spend on basic research, $19 goes toward promotion and marketing.And apparently it's been working. Drug company revenues climbed more than $200 billion in the years between 1995 and 2010, according to the website MinnPost.exchin, a professor at York University's School of Health Policy and Management, was the co-author of another study in 2008 that argued that pharmaceutical companies spend almost twice as much on promotion as they do on research and development.


Pharmaceutical marketing
Pharmaceutical marketing, sometimes called medico-marketing or pharma marketing in some countries, is the business of advertising or otherwise promoting the sale of pharmaceuticals or drugs. Many countries have measures in place to limit advertising by pharmaceutical companies.Pharmaceutical company spending on marketing far exceeds that of its research budget. In Canada, $1.7 billion was spent in 2004 to market drugs to physicians; in the United States, $21 billion was spent in 2002.lthough pharmaceutical companies have made large investments in marketing their products, overall promotional spending has been decreasing over the last few years, and declined by 10 percent from 2009 to 2010.
