Asset Growth Rate as a Return Indicator
This reversal in returns is monotonic across asset growth rate deciles and approximately symmetrical. In summary, evidence indicates that past firm total asset growth is a strong indicator of future stock returns, with low (high) asset growth indicating high (low) future returns. This asset growth effect is largely separate from size, value and momentum effects. Cautions regarding findings include: Reported returns are gross, not net.

Give growth assets the time to grow. It is important to maintain some exposure to growth assets for long-run returns - even once you start a retirement income stream. However, care is needed to ensure that those growth assets are given time to grow, in order to provide you with a cash flow that lasts as long as your retirement.


Asset Growth Rate as a Return Indicator
The asset growth rate is the change in total assets over the most recently completed two fiscal years. There is a clear reversal in returns about six months before the time of sorting, such that high (low) asset growth firms with high (low) past returns tend to generate low (high) future returns.

Dynamin is a large GTPase implicated in the budding and scission nascent vesicles from parent membranes.


-
The large GTPase dynamin plays an essential role in clathrin-coated vesicle scission from the parent membrane. The protein forms a helical collar around the neck of an invaginating clathrin-coated vesicle, where it may regulate, pinch or pop the vesicle from the parent membrane (see poppase movie and see pinchase movie).


-
What is it? a large GTPase involved in the scission of nascent vesicles from parent membranes. How do we think it works? Dynamin forms a helix around the neck of a nascent vesicle (like in the above movie).


-
Throwing the switch is performed by the unidirectional change of the GTPase from the active, GTP-bound form to the inactive, GDP-bound form by hydrolysis of the GTP through intrinsic GTPase-activity, effectively switching the GTPase off.


-
Gs family. 1  These G proteins are used in the signal transduction of taste and smell. They always use the activation of adenylate cyclase as the next step in the signal chain. Their function is permanently activated by the cholera toxin, which is the cause of the fatal effects of infection with Vibrio cholerae. 2  Gi family.


-
Acceleration of GDP dissociation by GEFs speeds up the building of active GTPase. 1  Inhibition of GDP dissociation by guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitors (GDIs) slows down the building of active GTPase. 2  Acceleration of GTP hydrolysis by GAPs reduces the amount of active GTPase.

To address the possibility that dynamin could be a regulator of vesicle scission we have expressed dynamin GTPase mutants in vivo and show that the GTP hydrolysis activity of dynamin is coupled to a conformational change and that this activity of the protein is essential for vesicle scission (see Marks et al 2001).

Regulatory GTPases. Regulatory GTPases, also called the GTPase superfamily, are GTPases used for regulation of other biochemical processes. Most prominent among the regulatory GTPases are the G proteins. All regulatory GTPases have a common mechanism that enables them to switch a signal transduction chain on and off.

Hail
Hail is water that gets caught in strong upward moving winds. The water will freeze, then start to fall, with more water attaching to the hailstone. This can get sent back up into the freezing air several times. Each time it goes up, a layer of ice is formed. Once the hail is too heavy or the strong upward winds weaken, the hail will fall to the ground. While most hail is small, some hailstones can be as big as softballs.

This does not mean that 2 is twice as hard as 1, or indeed 10 times. It is a relative scale, and is not exact, else you would need to find a more accurate means of measuring hardness. To further the explanation, the scale is measured using relative means; by seeing what it is harder than.


Marble
Marble that contains impurities such as clay minerals, iron oxides, or bituminous material can be bluish, gray, pink, yellow, or black in color. Marble of extremely high purity with a bright white color is very useful. It is often mined, crushed to a powder, and then processed to remove as many impurities as possible. The resulting product is called whiting.

Marble maintenance tip 1: Have your marble sealed. A sealer wonât protect your marble completely, but it will buy you some time if youâve left an acidic substance on your surface that wasnât wiped up right away. In a location like the fireplace surround shown here, a sealer can be helpful to protect against soot stains.


Are marble countertops as difficult to care for as their reputation suggests?
There are three things to be careful about in using marble countertops; scratching, etching, staining, though there are things to do to prevent each one of these. Scratching and etching are two similar things. Scratching is done by a hard object such as knife. Etching happens from acidic liquids such as lemon juice or coke. Choosing a honed finish on marble can prevent this potential issue. Honed finish is matte finish, as opposed to the shiny polished finish and can be applied to marble slabs by sanding or acid washing.

What Is Marble? It's good to know what marble is in order to understand how it behaves. It's a metamorphic stone, which is formed when sediment crystallizes under great heat or pressure to form hard rock. Marble is not the hardest of the these stones, however, making it porous and therefore susceptible to staining.

Most detergents tested have it, and we footnote which do not in the laundry detergent Ratings. Free and Clear If a product is labeled some variation of âfree and clear,â it typically lacks possible irritants such as fragrance or dyes.


"What is ""mild"" soap?"
Soap is considered mild; 1  If made with highly Moisturising and conditioning oils. Such as olive oil. 2  A long cure time which lowers the ph of the soap further. Skin is acidic and soap is alkali. 3  No fragrance oils other than possibly essential oils. 4  Not too high a percentage of cleansing oils such as coconut and palm oil.


The best, and worst, laundry detergents with 1,4-dioxane contamination
The 1,4-dioxane found in laundry detergent is particularly harmful in the fact that the chemical binds easily to water and remains there. Even after water containing the chemical has been purified and filtered, low levels have been detected, indicating that it is not easily removed from water.


How do soap and detergent differ?
Soaps are generally softer and less harsh on the skin than detergents, which makes them ideal for use on the human body. Soaps and detergents share a fundamental chemical property, which is that they are classified as surfactants or surface-active agents.


Tide Detergent Found To Contain High Levels Of 1,4-Dioxane, Carcinogenic Contaminant
Last fall, Womenâs Voices for the Earth commissioned lab tests on 20 cleaning products and found that âproblematicâ levels of 1,4-dioxane were detected in original formula Tide detergent (63 parts per million) as well as fragrance-free Tide Free & Clear (89 ppm).


The cardinal rule of skin care: Do no harm
Harsh detergents. Harsh detergents, particularly the so-called ionic detergents, may be harmful for the skin. They are called ionic because their molecules become charged when dissolved in water.

Heartburn/GORD guide
High-fat foods. Choose low-fat options when you eat out and you'll avoid one of the prime triggers for heartburn - fatty foods. Huge portions. Eating too much can increase stomach pressure, causing acidic stomach contents to splash back into the oesophagus. When you eat out, avoid big portions. Simple changes in diet and lifestyle can yield big heartburn relief.


Heartburn/GORD guide
Reduce or avoid the foods and beverages above if you find they trigger heartburn - and eat smaller meals - and you may decrease the amount of reflux from your stomach into the oesophagus. Yet changing what you eat isn't the only way to avoid the discomfort of heartburn - there are simple lifestyle changes you can make as well.


Foods to Limit to Control Acid Reflux
What Can You Eat? For a listing of foods that usually cause little or no heartburn problem, check out a table of foods that have little potential to cause heartburn. For a listing of foods that you may be able to enjoy occasionally, check out a table for foods that can be consumed with discretion. Sources: Eating, Diet, & Nutrition for GER & GERD.


Foods to Limit to Control Acid Reflux
This is why it is important to know which foods can cause heartburn for you and limit those foods. These are foods that are usually responsible for a higher occurrence of heartburn. You can keep a heartburn or food diary to learn what are your personal problem foods. The foods listed in the table below are the most common foods that can produce heartburn. This is by no means a complete list, and in your personal situation, you may either find you can eat the foods from the Avoid group with no problem or have problems with foods not listed. You can keep a heartburn or food diary to learn what are your personal problem foods. For approximately two weeks, write down what you eat, when you eat and any symptoms you may experience. This will help you and your doctor plans your diet and decides on any change in eating habits you may need. Foods to Limit on the Acid Reflux Diet


Heartburn/GORD guide
Heartburn relief: Food facts. Although heartburn can be triggered by different things for different people, certain food and drinks are more prone to allowing stomach acid to splash up into your oesophagus causing heartburn, including: Meats - Minced beef, marbled sirloin, chicken nugget-style and chicken wings.


15 Heartburn Trigger Foods: Control Acid Reflux
The type of food you eat and the quantity can exacerbate acid reflux, causing heartburn. If you suffer from heartburn, try eating smaller portions in 4-6 meals a day. Overloading your stomach can cause acid to leak into your esophagus. Keep a food diary to identify which foods may trigger your heartburn. You donât need to cut these foods totally out of your diet, but moderation can help keep your heartburn at bay. Here are 15 of the biggest heartburn trigger foods that you can avoid for relief from acid reflux. 1. Alcohol. Alcohol can be a massive trigger for heartburn attacks.


15 Heartburn Trigger Foods: Control Acid Reflux
Alcohol relaxes your esophageal sphincter, allowing for stomach acid to creep up. Drinking alcohol with a large meal is a recipe for disaster as it increases the risk for acid reflux. If you enjoy a drink with your meal, eat smaller portions to minimize your risk of heartburn.

Definition. 1  This test measures blood levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), also known as Serum Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (SASE). The primary function of ACE is to help regulate arterial pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II.


Sarcoidosis Workup
An elevated alkaline phosphatase level could suggest hepatic involvement. One study has shown that the severity of liver function test abnormalities is significantly related with the degree of fibrosis and extensiveness of the granulomatous inflammation in sarcoidosis. ACE levels may be elevated. NCGs secrete ACE, which may function as a cytokine. Serum ACE levels are elevated in 60% of patients at the time of diagnosis. Serum ACE levels may correlate with total body granuloma load. Levels may be increased in fluid from bronchoalveolar lavage or in cerebrospinal fluid. Sensitivity and specificity as a diagnostic test is limited (60% and 70%, respectively).

Laboratory tests may include a liver panel, complete blood count (CBC), and calcium (both blood and urine levels may be elevated).


Sickle-cell disease
In Jamaica, 10% of the population carries the sickle-cell gene, making it the most prevalent genetic disorder in the country. History. The first modern report of sickle-cell disease may have been in 1846, where the autopsy of an executed runaway slave was discussed; the key findings was the absence of the spleen.


Genetics pp 5-6
sickle cell hemoglobin = HbS Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait. Suppose a person who is heterozygous for the sickle cell trait is crossed with an individual who has this disease.


HBB hemoglobin subunit beta [ (human)]
Possession of a single HbS gene results in the generally harmless sickle cell trait (AS genotype) but inheritance of the HbS gene from both parents results in homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease which is often a severe condition destroying red blood cells rapidly and blocking flow in blood vessels with painful and often serious complications


Introduction
Individuals whom carry only one HbS allele have what is called sickle cell trait. In this state, individuals do not express sickle cell but are carriers of the disease. Individuals with two copies of the HbS gene are affected by the disease (Ashley-Koch et al., 2000; OMIM - Sickle Cell Anemia, MIM# 603903, 2011). Specifically, there are different haplotypes, or specific mutations recognized by restriction endonucleases in the beta gene cluster (Kitayama Cabral et al., 2011; Ashley-Koch et al., 2000; Cardoso and Guerreiro, 2010).

- sickle cell hemoglobin = HbS Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait. What is the phenotype of the following individual: HbS/HbS?


HBB Gene  (Protein Coding)
The alpha (HBA) and beta (HBB) loci determine the structure of the 2 types of polypeptide chains in adult hemoglobin, Hb A. The normal adult hemoglobin tetramer consists of two alpha chains and two beta chains. Mutant beta globin causes sickle cell anemia. Absence of beta chain causes beta-zero-thalassemia.


What will happen to the frequency of the recessive allele for the HbS gene when there is an outbreak of malaria? The frequency will increase. The frequency will decrease. The frequency will remain constant. It is impossible to predict how the allele frequ
The frequency of recessive allele for faulty haemoglobin molecule will increase in population where malaria outbreak has taken place. Explanation: People carrying one recessive faulty allele of HbS along with dominant normal allele of Hb remain safe from the attack of malaria. This is clearly an advantage in tropical mosquito infested countries where malaria is a common disease.

(NCBI Map Viewer- Human HBB gene locus, 2011) 4  HBB Gene Structure. 5  Figure 1: Human HBB gene cluster. (Hardison, 1998) 6  HBB Gene Expression. The normal adult hemoglobin tetramer consists of two alpha chains and two beta chains. These large family of proteins related to hemoglobinâs are encoded at five different chromosomal locations in humans. For example the Î±-like globin gene is expressed at chromosomal location 16p13.3.


HBB
In human, the HBB gene is located on chromosome 11 at position p15.5. Beta globin (also referred to as HBB, Î²-globin, haemoglobin beta, hemoglobin beta, or preferably haemoglobin subunit beta) is a globin protein, which along with alpha globin , makes up the most common form of haemoglobin in adult humans, the HbA.


-
Carrier frequency of HbS is 8-10% in African-Americans. HbS is common in sub-Saharan Africa, India, and the Middle East. HbC is common in West Africa. HbE is common in Southeast Asia. Inheritance: Autosomal recessive. Cause: Beta globin gene (HbB) missence mutations. The three detected mutations, HbS, HbC, and HbE, have one amino acid change in the beta globin chain. While HbS and HbC result in abnormal beta chain structure, the HbE mutation affects splicing efficiency, resulting in decreased amounts of beta chain. Mutations Tested: c.19G>A (HbC), c.20A>T (HbS), c.79G>A (HbE).

What does a HRV do?
The HRV is a controlled ventilation system only. It will supply fresh outdoor air at whatever temperature and humidity the outdoor air may be. At the same time it will exhaust warm, humid indoor air. The overall effect may not be very noticeable, but at all times the indoor air QUALITY is safe and healthy to breathe.


What does a HRV do?
The fresh air introduced into your home is warm and dry and provides a permanently fresh, healthy, indoor environment. An HRV can recover up to 5 times more energy than it costs to operate. This level of efficiency is unmatched by any other domestic appliance.

Heart rate variability
Heart rate variability. Heart rate variability (HRV) is the physiological phenomenon of variation in the time interval between heartbeats. It is measured by the variation in the beat-to-beat interval. Other terms used include: cycle length variability, RR variability (where R is a point corresponding to the peak of the QRS complex of the ECG wave; and RR is the interval between successive Rs), and heart period variability.

Weight loss and carbohydrates
Around 3 g of water is needed to release 1 g of glycogen, so the rapid initial weight loss on a low-carbohydrate diet is mostly water, not body fat. As carbohydrate stores are used up, the body begins to rely on other sources of fuel such as fat.


MYTH: Carbs Are the Enemy
You should have carbs, protein, and fat in every meal, striving for the healthy balance of 40 percent carbs, 30 percent protein, and 30 percent fat. Carbs help to fight disease. People who eat three servings of whole grains a day are 30 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes. The right mix of healthy carbs is the best way to control your blood sugar and avoid diabetes. Carbs are also the vehicle for many of natureâs disease fighters, like phytochemicals.


MYTH: Carbs Are the Enemy
Yes, you read that right. You CAN eat carbs and still lose weight! I know that a lot of trendy diets (like Atkins and Paleo) have popped up over the years based on the principle that a high-protein/low-carbohydrate diet is the key to weight loss. Iâm here to tell you that is completely false: You donât have to banish carbs to lose weight.

Carbs for Weight Loss?
On her television show, Oprah Winfrey claimed to have lost weight by switching from bad carbs to good. Likewise, many diet programs, such as Body-for-Life, tout the health benefits of good carbs. But are there really such things as good and bad carbohydrates? Some carbs are better than others, but it's not really a question of one carb being 'good' and one being 'bad,' says Jack Alhadeff, PhD, professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa. If you're eating to get energy for physical activity right away, simple carbs -- pasta, white bread, processed cereals, and the like -- work well. If someone is heavy or wants to manage weight, it is smart to chose high-fiber carbohydrates.

A.heap_size of an array, is that place where heap (max_heap or min_heap) structure elements will be placed. It makes sense in scope of sorting or queuing. You are right: this is the number of elements inside a heap, but it's equal to A.length only at first iteration of heap sort.

difference between min heap and max heap...
is min heap different from max heap...? Yes. :) A min heap uses ascending priority where the smallest item is the first to be popped from the heap. A max heap uses descending priority where the largest item is the first to be popped. You can read more about heaps here. Oh, the C++ heap functions in <algorithm> assume a max heap.


What's the difference between a binary search tree and a binary heap?

I have a question about heap sort. It state in an Algorithms book that A.heap-size<= A.length I donât understand the difference between the two. If an array represents a heap, why is there a possibility that A.heap-size is less than A.length.


Heapsort
Algorithm. The heapsort algorithm involves preparing the list by first turning it into a max heap. The algorithm then repeatedly swaps the first value of the list with the last value, decreasing the range of values considered in the heap operation by one, and sifting the new first value into its position in the heap. This repeats until the range of considered values is one value in length.


Binary heap
Example of a complete binary min heap. A binary heap is a heap data structure that takes the form of a binary tree. Binary heaps are a common way of implementing priority queues. The binary heap was introduced by J. W. J. Williams in 1964, as a data structure for heapsort.


What's the difference between a binary search tree and a binary heap?
A doubly linked list can be seen as subset of the heap where first item has greatest priority, so let's compare them here as well: 1  insertion: position: doubly linked list: the inserted item must be either the first or last, as we only have pointers to those elements. 2  search: O(n) for both.


Heap (data structure)
Internal. 1  increase-key or decrease-key: updating a key within a max- or min-heap, respectively. 2  delete: delete an arbitrary node (followed by moving last node and sifting to maintain heap) 3  sift-up: move a node up in the tree, as long as needed; used to restore heap condition after insertion.

Diagnostic Tests and Procedures for Heart Attack
Cardiac Procedures and Surgeries Updated:Mar 27,2017 If you've had a heart attack, you may have already had certain procedures to help you survive your heart attack and diagnose your condition.


Beating Heart CABG / Off-Pump CABG Surgery
Beating heart CABG (BHCABG) surgery, also called off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB), reduces the risks associated with the use of the heart-lung machine. During a beating heart CABG surgery, the heart continues to beat while the surgeon performs the bypass grafts. The surgeon uses a stabilization device to still the small area of the beating heart where the bypass is being grafted. The stabilization device utilizes small suction pods that gently attach to the surface of the heart.


Critical Care Trauma Centre
During Heart-Lung Bypass, large catheters are inserted into the right side of the heart and connected to the Heart-Lung Bypass Machine. A return catheter is inserted into the aorta ( the large blood vessel that normally receives all of the blood as it leaves the left side of the heart).

Swan-Ganz Catheterization
A right heart catheterization evaluates the hemodynamics as it circulates through the heart and lungs and into the body. Itâs often used to check for complications in the heart, lungs, or kidneys. The procedure is also used to evaluate: heart failure; heart function following a heart attack; shock; pulmonary edema, or fluid in the lungs


-
Congenital heart conditions that may be treated in the cath lab include: 1  Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) 2  Aortic stenosis (AS) 3  Pulmonary atresia (PA) with multiple collaterals. 4  Coarctation of the aorta. 5  Atrial septal defect (ASD) 6  Ventricular septal defect (VSD) 7  Pulmonary artery stenosis. 8  Narrowing or re-stenosis of shunts.


-
You had an EKG (electrocardiogram), stress test, or other test with results that suggested heart disease; Cardiac catheterization also might be used if your doctor thinks you have a heart defect or if you're about to have heart surgery. The procedure shows the overall shape of your heart and the four large spaces (heart chambers) inside it.


What is a cardiac catheterization?
It may be performed for the following reasons: 1  To obtain diagnostic information, such as pressures and oxygen levels in various parts of the heart. 2  To further define heart anatomy in the setting of congenital heart problems. 3  To obtain cardiac tissue samples for biopsy.


What is a cardiac catheterization?
When the catheterization is complete, the catheter(s) will be withdrawn from the heart and the blood vessels. Several gauze pads and a large piece of medical tape will be placed on the site where the catheter was inserted to prevent bleeding.


Swan-Ganz Catheterization
The PAC has a balloon tip. The balloon allows the catheter to be carried by the flow of your blood to the place in your heart where itâll be used. Because your blood takes the catheter where itâs needed, imaging isnât needed to help guide it. Therefore, the procedure can be done at your bedside. The PAC is also known as a Swan-Ganz catheter, or right heart catheter. The procedure itself is sometimes called right heart catheterization.


Swan-Ganz Catheterization
Itâs sometimes used in conjunction with an IV. Heart medications can be delivered through the IV and the effects of this medication can be tested and monitored by the Swan-Ganz. Swan-Ganz catheterization can also be performed in combination with an endocardial biopsy to prepare for a heart transplant.

Thus, cardiac catheterization might be used as an emergency procedure to treat a heart attack. When used with PCI, the procedure allows your doctor to open up blocked arteries and prevent further heart damage. Cardiac catheterization also can help your doctor figure out the best treatment plan for you if:

WHAT IS AN AIR-TO-AIR HEAT EXCHANGER, HRV and ERV?
An air-to-air heat exchanger, or what is more commonly called today a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV), is a air change central ventilation system that exhausts stale air outdoors and brings in an equal quantity of fresh air to replace it while stealing the heat from the outgoing air to warm up the incoming air.

Finned Coil Heat Exchangers (Water to Air Heat Exchangers)
If heat exchanger is used for the purpose of heating or cooling the liquid using the temperature of the air that passes through the finned coil heat exchanger, the reverse thermal exchange process occurs. In this scenario, the unit is used as an air to water heat exchanger. Design:


How Does an Air Exchanger Work?
Depending on the unit selected there will be a choice of controls to operate the unit in properly. During the heating seasons, heat is transferred from the warm indoor exhaust air into the cold outdoor supply air inside the HRV heat exchanger. The ERV heat exchanger not only transfers this heat, but transfers some of the moisture in the more humid exhaust air into the less humid supply air. This heat/energy transfer means that your home heating system uses less when compared to any other form of ventilation.


NECK MUSCLE STRETCHING - WHEN & HOW Caution
Please read this other page before doing any neck muscle stretches. If you can hear a crunching noise in your neck when you move it, any stretches will need to be prescribed by your physiotherapist. Mobilizing any tight joints may need to be done individually, to avoid further stretching hyper mobile ones.


NECK MUSCLE STRETCHING - WHEN & HOW Caution
At the end of neck muscle stretching sessions Never straighten your head up quickly. Always take a few seconds to lift up your head and then make little movements, rotating from side to side a few times.

Clicking Neck â Causes of Cracking Neck Sound When Moving Head
Most cases of a clicking neck are harmless but indicates a progressing condition, if the clicking noise can be repeated with every tilt or twist of the head. Usually the strain on the vertebrae is caused by spasm (knots or cramps) of the trapezius muscle of the back or the sternocleidomastoid muscle of the neck.


Clicking Neck â Causes of Cracking Neck Sound When Moving Head
Cracking Sound when moving Head A âclicking neckâ is a clearly audible sound caused by either turning (rotation) or tilting (lateral flexion) of the head. In most cases, the clicking sound is a result of tight neck muscles causing the vertebrae to rub against each other during certain movements.


Clicking Neck â Causes of Cracking Neck Sound When Moving Head
While there may be no other symptoms present apart from a clicking neck sound, with time the persistent muscle spasm will lead to headaches, neck or upper back pain. In most cases of a clicking neck, âcrackingâ the joints (medical term ~ articular release) usually resolves the clicking noise and eases tightness of the joint.

TREATMENT: ASCENDING / HEMI ARCH
TREATMENT: ASCENDING / HEMI ARCH. Ascending aortic aneurysms start above the level of the coronary arteries and become of normal size before the vessels going to the head and neck. The operation involves an incision through the middle of the sternum. The patient is placed on the heart lung machine and the ascending aorta is removed and replaced with a Dacron graft. If the aneurysm extends into the first part of the arch, a hemiarch replacement is done. Working on the aortic arch involves complex management of the patientâs blood flow to the head and lower body.


How I Teach Hemi-Arch Replacement

Coyotes typically attack sheep at the throat, but young or inexperienced coyotes may attack any part of the body. Coyotes usually kill calves by eating into the anus or abdominal area. Dogs generally do not kill sheep or calves for food and are relatively indiscriminate in how and where they attack. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to differentiate between dog and coyote kills without also looking at other sign, such as size of tracks (Fig. 2) and spacing and size of canine tooth punctures.
