introduction Non-infectious diseases (also called Non-communicable diseases) are those diseases that are not caused by a pathogen and cannot be shared from one person to another. Disease caused by these organisms are infectious diseases. There are many kinds of non-infectious diseases. Non-infectious diseases may be caused by either the environment‚ nutritional deficiencies‚ lifestyle choices‚ or genetic inheritances. Unlike infectious diseases‚ non-infectious diseases are not communicable

The Vector equation of a plane To find the vector equation of a plane a point on the plane and two different direction vectors are required. The equation is defined as: where a is the point on the plane and b and c are the vectors. This equation can then be written as: The Cartesian equation of a plane The cartesian equation of the plane is easier to use. The equation is defined as: One of the advantages to writing the equation in cartesian form is that we can easily find the normal

Chronic and Infectious Diseases Chronic and infectious diseases are diseases life threatening. A chronic diseases are non-communicable illnesses prolonged in duration‚ do not resolve spontaneously‚ and are rarely cured completely such as heart disease‚ cancer‚ stroke‚ diabetes‚ and arthritis (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‚ 2009). However‚ an infectious disease or communicable disease is contagious and caused by a biological agent‚ such as a virus‚ bacterium‚ or parasite also known

Computer as a tool Nicholas O. Williams Raster Images vs. Vector Images Assignment: Discuss the differences‚ advantages and disadvantages. There are two major types of images used by graphic design programs‚ they are called Vector and Raster images. This paper will seek to highlight the many differences‚ advantages and disadvantages respectively. Raster images are complex renderings made up of thousands of little dots or pixels. The word raster has its origin in Latin which means ‘rake’

Differences between Tax Avoidance and Tax Evasion Tax avoidance is generally the legal exploitation of the tax regime to one’s own advantage‚ to attempt to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are within the law whilst making a full disclosure of the material information to the tax authorities. Examples of tax avoidance involve using tax deductions‚ changing one’s business structure through incorporation or establishing an offshore company in a tax haven. By contrast tax evasion

THE CHANNELS OF MONETARY TRANSMISSION The monetary transmission mechanism is the channels through which the monetary target works and it describes the mechanisms through which the monetary policy actions of the central bank impact on the ultimate objective of inflation and output. Miskhin (1995) usefully describes the various channels through which monetary policy action as summarized by changes in either the nominal money stock or the short term nominal interest rate‚ impact real variables such

Non-Infectious Diseases Basics * Non-infectious diseases (NIDs) are diseases NOT caused by a pathogen. They are also referred to as non-communicable diseases (NIDs). * Ex. include cancer‚ Parkinson’s and asthma. * A variety of causes contribute to NIDs including genetics‚ lifestyle choices‚ and nutrition. Two types of NIDs * NIDs are divided into 2 main groups: * Genetic diseases are caused by mutations in DNA or conditions affecting chromosomes. * Environmental
