White blood cell
White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.All leukocytes are produced and derived from a multipotent cell in the bone marrow known as a hematopoietic stem cell.n the proliferative disorders there is an increase in the number of white blood cells. This increase is commonly reactive (ex. due to infection) but may also be cancerous. In leukopenias there is a decrease in the number of white blood cells.


How Blood Works
White blood cells (WBCs), or leukocytes, are a part of the immune system and help our bodies fight infection. They circulate in the blood so that they can be transported to an area where an infection has developed. In a normal adult body there are 4,000 to 10,000 (average 7,000) WBCs per microliter of blood.When the number of WBCs in your blood increases, this is a sign of an infection somewhere in your body. Here are the six main types of WBCs and the average percentage of each type in the blood:1  Neutrophils - 58 percent.n a normal adult body there are 4,000 to 10,000 (average 7,000) WBCs per microliter of blood.

Here are the six main types of WBCs and the average percentage of each type in the blood: 1  Neutrophils - 58 percent.


Low white blood cell count
Neutropenia and leukopenia are terms used to refer to lowered numbers of white blood cells (WBCs) in the blood. WBCs help the body fight infection and disease. When WBC counts are low, there is a higher risk of infection. Not every person receiving cancer treatment will experience neutropenia or leukopenia, but many do.Leukopenia is a decrease in the total number of white blood cells.Leukocyte is another name for white blood cell. They are made in the bone marrow and are found in the blood and lymphatic tissues. Leukocytes play a key part in defending the body against viruses and bacteria, which can cause infection.hey stimulate, or help, the bone marrow to make white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Different types of growth factors stimulate the bone marrow to make different types of blood cells. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSFs) stimulate the bone marrow to make granulocytes.


Blood Diseases: White and Red Blood Cells, Platelets and Plasma
Blood cell disorders affect your red and white blood cells and smaller circulating cells called platelets. All three cell types form in the bone marrow, which is the soft tissue inside your bones. Red blood cells transport oxygen to your bodyâs organs and tissues.White blood cells help your body fight infections.Platelets help your blood to clot.ediatric Blood Cell Disorders (White Blood Cell Disorders). These disorders affect the white blood cells of children. They occur when the bone marrow produces too many or too few white blood cells. When there are not enough white blood cells, the body cannot fight off infections.


White blood cell
Monocytes and neutrophils are phagocytic. The number of leukocytes in the blood is often an indicator of disease, and thus the WBC count is an important subset of the complete blood count. The normal white cell count is usually between 4 and 11 Ã 10 9 /L.In the US this is usually expressed as 4,000â11,000 white blood cells per microliter of blood.n the proliferative disorders there is an increase in the number of white blood cells.

Talk:Tuber
There's a reason the first sentence has a citation needed tag. A stolon develops above ground, not under ground as a rhizome does, and 'above-ground rhizome' is essentially a description of a stolon. Tubers, however, develop underground from rhizomes. Also 'The tuber usually, though not always, develops when the stolon becomes subterranean, such as in a potato[1].' is incorrect.


The Difference Between Tubers & Root Crops
Root crops and tubers have a different kind of root structure. Root crops are tap roots. They are a single root that bores down into the soil like a carrot or parsnip. They can be a single rounded modified root like a beet. The key point being, root crops form one vegetable per stem.


Talk:Tuber
Root tubers are usually defined, as in the article, as modified lateral roots, whereas storage tap roots, as in carrots, are not lateral. But it's not clear to me that this is really a fundamental difference, nor that the terms are always used consistently.


What are the differences between taproot and tuberous root?
All Answers (11) 1  I'm so sorry. I do not know about it. 2  Dear Omid. Main Difference Between taproot and tuberous root is: Infact Tap roots are modified in to different structures, these modified structures carry out specific functions like food storage. Such roots are referred to as modified tap roots.


Talk:Tuber
That said, there is a slight difference in the way the plants perennialize--largely speaking the root tuber exhausts itself and does not create a new plant; where as the stem tuber creates a new plant (meaning a new stem crown and new root system).


What are the differences between taproot and tuberous root?
All Answers (11) 1  I'm so sorry. 2  Dear Omid. 3  A tap root refers to a central principle root which does directly downward and taps into the subsoil resources. 4  Carrot root does not function in asexual propagation, so why it is classified as taproot and tuberous root as well.


What are the differences between taproot and tuberous root?
Tubers are swelling in the root system which usually function in asexual propagation of the plant. Potato for instance is a tuber crop with not tap root. These are found more on the soil top layers and there is little evidence of strong apical dominance. Alfalfa is a tap rooted legume with no tubers.


Talk:Tuber
Root tubers versus tuberous roots. Are these two structures analogous botanical terms? Are tuberous roots true tubers? Root tubers and stem tubers are the same type of storage structure in function but are derived from different tissues and as such have different morphologies.


Talk:Tuber
According to the differences between tuber and corm are that tubers have no specific basal section from which roots grow (so corms are oriented, while stem tubers are not), and that tubers do not have tunics.


What are the differences between taproot and tuberous root?
Dear Dr. Natarjan the question is about the difference between taproot and tuberous root, not fibrous root.

A large amount of heat is transferred to the atmosphere in the process of condensation, because of the latent heat of vaporization. Evaporation and precipitation also affect the patterns of water density on the surface of the ocean, which are inseparably tied to ocean circulation.


-
The most familiar mode of heat transfer (with the least familiar name!) is conduction. When you put ice on an injury, you do it to cool the injury, but the way that happens is by heat conduction, the transfer of thermal energy from the warmer object to the colder one, which is always how heat conduction works. So you're really heating the ice, not cooling a sprained ankle.


Atmospheric Processes â Convection
1 If the material is fluid, currents will be set up in it that aid the transfer of heat.. 2  The Physical Setting, The Earth, Grades 9 to 12, pg. 3  70, Item #2: Weather (in the short run) and climate (in the long run) involve the transfer of energy in and out of the atmosphere.


-
Another mode of heat transfer is radiation, which is explained in Radiation: What Makes Some Gases Greenhouse Gases. In short, radiation is the transfer of thermal energy by the release of a photon whose wavelength is in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum.


-
Sensible heat is the energy associated with the temperature of a body; it is greater in a warm body than a cold one. Warm water that is heated in the tropics and cooled in high latitudes brings sensible heat poleward. Warm winds carry sensible heat from one place to another.


-
Quite generally, the ocean surface is a source for heat in the atmosphere. The sea surface tends to stay at the same temperature for a long time, because of the high specific heat off water and the thickness of the mixed layer.


-
Both air currents and ocean currents move heat. Energy is stored as latent heat in the atmosphere. In the surface waters of the ocean it is stored as sensible heat.. Atmospheric and oceanic circulation share the task of heat redistribution on a roughly fifty-fifty basis.


-
An important point about conduction is that conduction always causes heat to be transferred from the warmer mass to the colder, so that given enough time, a perfectly insulated system with no way of gaining or losing heat would always reach a uniform temperature, between the initial temperatures of the masses within it.

Clothes sizes: US vs. Europe
In Europe American sizes such as S M L XL etc. are also commonly used. Here are tables for men and womenâs sizes for tops, bottoms, and shoesâ¦ with the corresponding US sizes. Unfortunately, sizes may vary from store to store and itâs very difficult to find exact equivalents.

Who Has The Highest Vertical Jump in NBA History?
According to the document, Jordan had a 36â standing vertical (no steps), and a 46â max. vertical (running start). His jump was close to 42â when dunking with one hand and just under 41â when using two hands. The 42â sounds quite about right since we see him in a few photos with his head right on the rim.


Highest Vertical Jump in NBA History
One of the biggest surprises that caught our eye while making this list is Gerald Green. We had expected his max vertical to be above 40 inches easily. Based on the NBA pre-draft measurements, the high flying Green gets up at 39 inches.


Top Five Vertical Jumpers of all time in the NBA
Jordan holds the highest vertical jump in NBA history. Jordan has played for Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards. His vertical jump has been recorded at 48 inches. To put that into perspective, that is four feet: the average height of an eight-year-old child. Jordan is six feet six inches, so his jump is two thirds his own height, a very impressive feat.


Who Has The Highest Vertical Jump in NBA History?
Wilt âthe Stiltâ Chamberlain was one of the most dominant forces in NBA history. He is the only man to have scored 100 points in a single game. Standing at 7â1â you wouldnât think someone of that size had a vertical jump of 48 inches.


-
Now, in many ways, the vertical leap in the NBA draft is the equivalent of the 40-yard-dash time in the NFL draft: a nice handy benchmark, but not indicative in and of itself as a barometer for future success.


Top Five Vertical Jumpers of all time in the NBA
Lebron James has a vertical jump of forty-four inches. Just a few inches shy of Jordanâs forty-eight inches; but it is just as impressive as Jordanâs. Jamesâs vertical jump places him four inches above the rim of the basket, only two inches less than Jordan.


Who Has The Highest Vertical Jump in NBA History?
Spud Webbâs vertical comes in at 46 inches giving him the ability to make up for his shorter stature (when compared to the NBA giants). It is also what allowed him to win the NBA Slam Dunk Contest back in 1986 where he bested teammate and legendary dunker Dominique Wilkins (whoâs down this list too). He is joined in this NBA high vertical jump group by fellow 5-foot-plus player Muggsy Bogues whoâs at #9, with a 44 inch vertical.


Top Five Vertical Jumpers of all time in the NBA
He jumps five inches higher than Vince Carter, four inches higher than Lebron James. He jumps twenty inches higher than the NBA average. He is number one on many vertical jumping lists. Jordan might be he hailed king of the vertical jump, but heâs not the only one who can impress a crowd with his jumping.

renal perfusion question
Every organ needs blood flow (i.e. perfusion) to function properly. The kidney is very sensitive to lack of perfusion, and damage can occure quickly if there is not sufficient perfusion. In fact, if the perfusion is not satisfactory, the kidney can 'simulate' a rise in BP (see the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis).

-
If you have adequate perfusion to your kidneys, that means you have adequate blood flow. Dopamine, in low doses (called low dose dopa or renal dose dopa) helps improve renal perfusion. Those doses are typically 1 - 3 mcg/kg/min. Dopamine at higher doses, however, loses that renal effect.

Work, Energy and Power
Although wind is just moving air, it possesses energy. When the wind moves the leaf on a tree or picks up and hurls a truck, it has caused a change in the position of the object. Therefore it has done work. A measure of the ability to do work or cause change is called energy.


Wind & Air Pressure
The wind blows because of differences in air pressure from one location to another. Wind blows from areas of high pressure toward areas of low pressure. If the high pressure area is very close to the low pressure area, or if the pressure difference is very great, the wind can blow very fast.


-
Wind is simple air in motion. It is caused by the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun. Since the earth's surface is made of very different types of land and waterâ¦, it absorbs the sun's heat at different rates. Hot air rises, so cooler air is sucked in to fill the space. 34 people found this useful.


-
There are many forces interacting which cause the air to move in the manner it does. Wind is the atmosphere's way of trying to bring the interaction of these forces into a balance; an equilibrium. However, the factors that cause the imbalance are constantly changing so the balance is never achieved and the air molecules move, which is wind.


Wind & Air Pressure
Rising and Sinking Air. Since warm air is less dense and creates less air pressure, it will rise; cold air is denser and creates greater air pressure, and so it will sink. When warm air rises, cooler air will often move in to replace it, so wind often moves from areas where it's colder to areas where it's warmer. The greater the difference between the high and low pressure or the shorter the distance between the high and low pressure areas, the faster the wind will blow.


-
Air is moving (wind) from the region of high pressure (for example: 600 hPa) at upper levels in the warmer column of air (such as exists near the equator) toward the lower pressure (for example: 400 hPa) at upper levels in the cooler columns of air (such as exists near the polar regions).


-
Also acting on the mass of the parcel/balloon and trying to move it downward is gravity. When the vertical pressure gradient force, (directed upward), and gravity, (directed downward), are in balance, the parcel moves neither up nor down.


-
As wind speeds increase, turbine output increases and the amount of power purchased from the utility is proportionately decreased. When the turbine produces more power than the house needs, the extra electricity is sold to the utility (net metering). All of this is done automatically.


Work, Energy and Power
Work is a transfer of energy so work is done on an object when you transfer energy to that object. The amount of work done on an object depends on the amount of force exerted on the object and the amount of distance the object moves. Work = Force x Distance.


Simmering
Meatball Soup simmering on a stove.

Simmering 101
To fully appreciate simmering, the entire journey should be reviewed. Poaching, simmering, and boiling are all means of cooking foods in hot liquid. In all three methods the food is cooked via conduction, (from contact with the water molecules) and convection (from the movement of the water molecules).ecause water is denser than air, foods will cook faster in hot water than in an oven. Poaching, simmering, and boiling are distinguished by the temperature of the fluid medium. Poaching is performed at 160 to 185 degrees. Simmering lies between 185 and that elusive concept known as a full boil.


-
Read the recipe first. Note where it states that the food must be simmered. Usually the recipe will suggest one of two ways to reach a point of simmering: 1  The first being that the liquid for the dish reaches boiling point first, and then is reduced to a simmer (so you need to turn it down);asically, simmering occurs at 94-96ÂºC/200-205ÂºF, which is just under boiling point (100ÂºC/212ÂºF average sea level). If you have a cooking thermometer, test it out to get a feel for how the cooking liquid appears at different temperatures.

People with dwarfism can be limited in the types of exercises and activities that they can do, but it's very important for them to find safe physical activities that they enjoy to help stay fit. Most of the complications that happen in people with dwarfism are physical in nature and do not affect their intellectual ability. In fact, little people often develop a sense of ingenuity because they often have to find clever ways of doing things in the average-size world. Treatment often includes providing emotional support for people and families living with dwarfism.


Symptoms
Most people with dwarfism have disorders that cause disproportionately short stature. Usually, this means that a person has an average-size trunk and very short limbs, but some people may have a very short trunk and shortened (but disproportionately large) limbs.


What Is Primordial Dwarfism?
Majewski osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism (MOPD Types I and III) MOPD Type II Since these conditions are rare, it is difficult to know how often they occur. It is estimated that as few as 100 individuals in North America have been identified as having MOPD Type II. Some families have more than one child with MOPD Type II, which suggests that the disorder is inherited from the genes of both parents rather than just one (a condition known as an autosomal recessive pattern).


What is dwarfism?
On average, two tsunamis occur per year. Approximately every 15 years a destructive, ocean-wide tsunami occurs. Tsunami's occur when an earthquake causes a significant ver â¦ tical deformation of the seafloor.


-
Probably the most consistent physical characteristic of primordial dwarfism in children is severe intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Recognition of the deficiency can occur as early as 13-weeks gestation and it becomes progressively more severe over the length of the pregnancy. At term, infants with primordial dwarfism typically weigh less than 3 lbs and are less than 16 inches in length. This is about the average size of a 28-week premature neonate.

When Do Airlines Open Award Seats?
This is handy if you want to set a calendar reminder to check space on a certain date. Implications of when airlines open their award calendars. As you can see, the time that airlines open up award space can vary by almost two months, and there are lots of implications of that. For example, on one extreme you have Air France, which only opens up award schedules about 10 months out.


When Do Airlines Open Award Seats?
The truth is that award space doesnât open up at exactly midnight in any timezone. For example, American seems to open up award space shortly after midnight central, though partner award space often isnât bookable for several hours, even if it appears online (instead youâll get an error message).


How to Open Up
One way to become more comfortable with vulnerability is to separate your action from the outcome. You can control what you say and whom you open up to, but you can't control their reaction or what they do. Once you realize that you aren't responsible for how others behave or react, you may feel more free to open up.


When Do Airlines Open Award Seats?
With that in mind, here are the approximate dates on which airlines open up award space (give or take a day, since with timezones it really isnât a science): For what itâs worth, if youâre trying to determine how many days out a particular trip is, I recommend using a date calculator like http://daycalc.appspot.com/.

-
Normally, when you sit or stand up, gravity pulls some of your blood down into your trunk (torso) and your hands and feet. In response, your blood vessels narrow and your heart rate increases slightly to maintain blood flow to the heart and brain, and prevent your blood pressure dropping. This results in a slight increase in blood pressure.


-
Heart problems can also interrupt the brain's blood supply and cause fainting. This type of fainting is called cardiac syncope. The risk of developing cardiac syncope increases with age. You're also at increased risk if you have: narrowed or blocked blood vessels to the heart (coronary heart disease)


When Children Faint, Non-cardiovascular Syncope: Causes & Treatment
Before diagnosing syncope, it is important to rule out other causes, such as seizure disorders or cardiac problems as the reason for the fainting. They will do blood tests -- including a complete blood count, complete metabolic panel and a pregnancy test in children who are menstruating.


When Children Faint, Non-cardiovascular Syncope: Causes & Treatment
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Syncope -- also called fainting, blacking out, or passing out -- is a sudden loss of consciousness, followed by a fall from a standing or sitting position. It is a condition that is caused by a decrease in blood flow to the brain. Blood contains oxygen, so when blood flow to the brain decreases, oxygen to the brain also decreases. Certain heart or brain conditions and a sudden change in position may cause syncope. Signs and symptoms include light-headedness, dizziness, cold sweaty skin, and feeling more tired than usual.

When you feel a. symptom occurring, you press a button on the device, and then the device. records your heartâs electrical activity for several minutes. In this way. your physician may study your heartâs electrical activity during an. episode of syncope.


When Children Faint, Non-cardiovascular Syncope: Causes & Treatment
While vasovagal syncope is the most common in children, cardiovascular mediated syncope is also important to rule out in the emergency department. In the pediatric emergency room, 1 percent to 3 percent of admissions will be secondary to syncope.
