Lunar eclipse [pic] [pic] The June 2011 total eclipse A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow). This can occur only when the Sun‚ Earth‚ and Moon are aligned (in "syzygy") exactly‚ or very closely so‚ with the Earth in the middle. Hence‚ a lunar eclipse can only occur the night of a full moon. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon’s location relative to its orbital nodes. Unlike a solar eclipse‚ which can only be viewed from

Tinnitus is one of the diseases that can occur as a result of Channelopathy effecting potassium channels. Tinnitus involves hearing sounds where no sounds are present. In physiology of hearing‚ depolarization occurs from inward movement of potassium and calcium ions. In Tinnitus‚ potassium channels stay open a lot longer causing depolarization and excessive sound presence even

behaviors during sleep. There are two main categories of sleep disorders‚ which are dyssomnias and parasomnias. Dyssomnias are problems connected with the amount‚ timing‚ and quality of sleep. Meanwhile‚ parasomnias are abnormal disturbances that occur during sleep. The most common type of dyssomnia is insomnia‚ a chronic condition marked by difficulties in initiating or maintaining sleep‚ lasting for a period of at least one month. Common symptoms of insomnia include difficulty getting to sleep

planned‚ data-driven‚ and based on an assessment of the behav- ior. Undertaking an “intervention” without an assessment or a plan can lead to increased misbehavior. A BIP is individualized for the student‚ designed for the settings where the behavior occurs‚ and imple- mented consistently across those settings. Follow-up‚ monitoring‚ and revision of the BIP are essential as the identified inappropriate behavior is replaced by an acceptable behavior. An FBA is the basis for developing an effective BIP

Laplace’s nebula theory (1796):it all began from a huge cloud of gas which was spinning slowly. This cloud collapsed under gravity. As it collapsed‚ it started spinning more quickly and began to flatten to conserve angular momentum. Schmidt-Lyttleton accretion theory (1944):Sun passed through a huge cloud of gas and acquired matter to form planets. Proto-planet Theory:started with a cloud of dust and gas in a state of hypersonic turbulence. Thus‚ rapid internal collisions took place. This resulted

probability of obtaining head is? Here the event of getting head is known as the random variable. Now what are the possible values of the random variable‚ i.e. what is the possible number of times that head might occur? It is 0 (head never occurs)‚ 1 (head occurs once out of 2 tosses)‚ and 2 (head occurs both the times the coin is tossed). Hence the random variable is “getting head” and its values are 0‚ 1‚ 2. now probability distribution is the probabilities of all these values. The probability of getting

the earth’s lithosphere and its inhabitants. Earthquakes occur both on land and sea.They may occur at areas where plates collide (subduction zones/ convergent plate margins) ; where plates slide past eachother along fault lines (transform plate margins) or due to volcanic eruption. Earthquakes may be of three different categories: * Tectonic – movement in the earth’s crust due to sudden movement along fault lines. * Plutonic - occurs deep within the subduction zone of colliding plates.

SYPHILIS “THE GREAT IMITATOR” Syphilis is known as a bacterial infection that is caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum. The primary way of transmitting this infection is through sexual contact‚ but may also be passed from mother to fetus during pregnancy or at birth which results in congentital syphilis. The exact origin of syphilis is unknown‚ but has been studied over the years and two interesting hypotheses have arisen. The first is that it was carried from the Americas

urine (MSU) sample is collected and sent to the labs for examination and culture. If the person seems to be having sepsis and showing fever‚ blood is drawn for labs. White blood cells and neutrophils elevation are likely results. If a negative result occurs‚ infection is not automatically ruled out. A false negative can happen in situations where an antibiotic treatment has started. An intravenous pyelogram‚ ultrasound‚ or CT scan may be needed if other causes of diseases need to be excluded.

activity used in the flexible budget. Caution should be exercised in interpreting an activity variance. The “favorable” and “unfavorable” labels are perhaps misleading for activity variances that involve costs. A “favorable” activity variance for a cost occurs because the cost has some variable component and the actual level of activity
