...Catherine Jones HST-143-D040/Professor Quirk The West January 21, 2016 Moving and settling on the Great Plains during the nineteenth century was no easy task. There were many hardships involved in the laborious task of the moving process and even more involved in building and maintaining a home. The fact that the settlers were moving to the Great Plains added even more difficulties to the task because of its climate and geography. One of the hardships that settlers faces was that there were few building materials on the Great Plains. They usually constructed their houses out of sod which was less than ideal. Sod houses allowed bugs and animals to easily dig through the walls and it also leaked water into the homes very easily. These sod homes also allowed very little light or even air to pass into them. Other hardships included their isolation from one another, the unfortunate use of manure as fuel for fire because of the lack of wood, the dry climate of the Great Plains, and as a result of the climate, the lack of water. Settlers could not plant crops because the ground was too dry and the climate was too humid, that and the fact that there was the lack of water. This forced the settlers to build windmills just so they could pump water. There was also the obstacle of having a lack of money. Since the settlers were so isolated from one another that meant there were no nearby businesses or places of work for settlers to earn money. This lack of money meant living in sparse...

...Tooth loss and dental extractions have existed for centuries with the latter being the main tool for providing relief from dental pain and removing diseased tissues (Torabinejad). There was an estimated 50 million dental extractions performed in the United States in 1979 (Bullock). With the increased number of people living in the United States for a longer period of time, the occurrence of dental extractions and tooth loss has certainly risen exponentially. Unfortunately, tooth loss, whether it is through dental extractions or other means, has long term clinical sequelae associated with it. Osteonecrosis of the jaw, bacteremia, orbital cellulitis, and other psychological and physiological clinical sequelae that impact the well-being of the patient will be discussed. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is defined as the presence of exposed bone in the mouth that fails to heal after appropriate intervention over a period of 6 to 8 weeks (Reid), and results in chronic osteomyelitis with areas of bone necrosis. Most commonly affecting the mandible (Bagan), patients with ONJ experience symptoms that range from painless exposed bone to severe jaw pain (Sambrook). The majority of cases of ONJ have been found to be initiated and associated with tooth extraction procedures as a result of the introduction of oral flora to the exposed jaw bone that prevents healing and becomes infected (Ruggiero). In addition to tooth extractions being a precipitating event to ONJ, it has been found...

...EXTRACTION Reyes, Chaia Alyssa M., Suelo, Bernadette Ann A., Velches, Manna Angelica F., Vicente, Calvin Jaron B. ABSTRACT Caffeine was extracted from coffee beans by multiple extraction technique. 5.0009 grams of coffee beans was boiled in a solution of 4.4 g. anhydrous sodium carbonate and 100ml distilled water and was extracted three times using 20 ml of dichloromethane. The residue was collected by decanting the mixture of organic extract and anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporating it to dryness. The percentage yield was computed by getting the ratio of the weight of the crude caffeine (residue) and weight of the coffee beans used. The percentage yield was 0.25%. I. INTRODUCTION Extractions are a way to separate a desired substance when it is mixed with others. The mixture is brought into contact with a solvent in which the substance of interest is soluble, but the other substances present are insoluble. There are two main types of extraction in chemistry namely: Liquid-liquid extraction (also known as Solvent extraction or Partitioning), which is further divided into two types (simple and multiple), and Solid-liquid extraction. The type of extraction used in this experiment was Multiple Liquid-liquid extraction. In this experiment, the group should be able to attain the following objectives: (1) extract caffeine from coffee beans (2) know the amount of caffeine present in 5.0009g of tea leaves, and (3) calculate the percentage yield of caffeine in 5.0009g of coffee...

...Abstract On August 5, 2010, a cave in occurred at a copper mining company owned by Minera San Esteban Primera in northern Chile, which trapped 33 workers for two months (Weik 2010). The workers were trapped 2300 feet underground (Wikipedia, 2014). The owners of the company had to make sure the public received the correct information. They were not only dealing with the people of Chile but people from all around the world. Their first priority was talking with the family of trapped victims; second was the employee of the company; third the media; fourth what channel of communication will be used to notify families and employees. Minera San Esteban Primera had to make sure the message was accurate and based on details to insure that the message was received as intended. What are some considerations to remember given the different roles and people in the audience? In order for Minera San Esteban Primera to be effective when meeting with their audience (family member, employee and the media), they must take in consideration the demographic make-up (gender, life style, religion, age, and education), needs, and hopes (money, rescue plan, the cause of the cave in, a point of contact) of the people. What would be the potential needs of the families of the miners in receiving a message about this incident? The company must meet with the families face-to-face to reassure them that they are doing everything in their power to rescue their family members. Some...

...Partial-birth abortion is a non-medical term used to describe a type of an abortion procedure which is performed in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, with the goal of delivering a fetus that is not alive. Hotly Contested Right-to-Life Issue Partial-birth abortion is also one of the most hotly contested right-to-life political issues in America. Most legal battles over banning this late-term pregnancy-termination procedure relate to the inclusion of exemptions for certain circumstances, most notably to save the life or health of the woman. (See Page 2 list of specific medical and other reasons FOR partial birth abortions.) Twice during his eight years in office, President Bill Clinton vetoed bills for a federal ban on partial birth abortions because the legislation included insufficent safeguards for womens' health. During President Clinton's tenure, 29 states passed bans on partial-birth abortion, all without exemptions for the health of pregnant women. In 2000, the Supreme Court struck down the Nebraska state ban (in Stenberg v. Carhart) on several grounds, thus effectively invalidating all such state bans. Partial Birth Abortion Act of 2003 [On November 5, 2003, President George Bush signed into law the Partial-Birth Abortion Act, which included a sole exception to preserve the lives of women, and also calls for a minimum two-year jail term for violators. Says the first paragraph of the Act, "A moral, medical and ethical consensus exists that...

...On the night of your honeymoon, you remember running your hands through your husband's hair. You've always liked how his hair felt between your fingers. It was soft, wavy, and almost delicate. But, that was years ago. Today, his receding hairline and thinning hair cannot conceal the years that have passed since you first met. You know that looks are superficial and that your love for him goes beyond appearance. But somehow, you can't help but wish he had more hair. You've seen people on TV and on the Internet grow back their hair using the latest trends in hair restoration. The problem is you don't know how to convince your husband that he doesn't look good with a shaved head. No matter what his objection is, there is a way to talk to him that will get your point across. "But I don't want to hurt his feelings..." Men just don't admit it, but they also care about how they look. They also want to appear young, handsome, and oozing with sex appeal, especially to their wives. But don't expect them to say it. Try to explore his feelings about his hair loss, but do it in the right setting. For example, ask him to accompany you to the salon for hair extensions or keratin hair therapy. While awaiting your hair treatment, browse hair restoration ads and brochures together. In a casual tone, find the perfect timing to say, "Honey, don't you miss having hair?" "But he thinks it's fake and expensive..." Perhaps he has seen people who have previously undergone hair transplants with...

...gradually recedes to expose more and more of the forehead, is the most common form. Men may also experience a gradual thinning of hair at the crown or very top of the skull. For women, hair loss is more commonly due to hormonal changes and is more likely to be a thinning of hair from the entire head. An estimated 50,000 men get transplants each year. Transplants can also be done to replace hair lost due to burns, injury, or diseases of the scalp. The main difference between FUE(follicular unit extraction) hair transplantation and strip-surgery is in the way donor-hair is obtained.FUE generally leads to higher patient satisfaction, quicker recovery, and less scarring of the donor area. In FUE hair transplantation individual hair follicles are extracted without causing damage to the scalp. This is done by very small punches that hardly leaves visible scars. As every single follicle is extracted individually this is a time consuming procedure. The benefit is that controlled and careful extraction of donor hair is very lenient to the skin and scalp. Complications are very rare, and scars are hard to detect even after only a few weeks. FUT or Follicular Unit Transplant is a procedure where grafts are takenen mass in a piece of strip of hair...

Ravi Kumar ⁎ Department of Pharmaceutics, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), Phase-X, S.A.S. Nagar, Mohali, Punjab, India - 160062 Received 31 January 2006; accepted 26 April 2006 Available online 13 May 2006 Abstract Antioxidants are emerging as prophylactic and therapeutic agents. These are the agents, which scavenge free radicals otherwise reactive oxygen species and prevent the damage caused by them. Free radicals have been associated with pathogenesis of various disorders like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative disorders and are implicated in aging. Several antioxidants like SOD, CAT, epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, lycopene, ellagic acid, coenzyme Q10, indole-3-carbinol, genistein, quercetin, vitamin C and vitamin E have been found to be pharmacologically active as prophylactic and therapeutic agents for above mentioned diseases. Antioxidants are part of diet but their bioavailability through dietary supplementation depends on several factors. This major drawback of dietary agents may be due to one or many of the several factors like poor solubility, inefficient permeability, instability due to storage of food, first pass effect and GI degradation. Conventional dosage forms may not result in efficient formulation owing to their poor biopharmaceutical properties. Principles of novel drug delivery systems need to be...

...CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction: Loans comprise the most important asset as well as the primary source of earning for the banking financial institutions. On the other hand, this (loan) is also the major source of risk for the bank management. A prudent bank management should always try to make an appropriate balance between its return and risk involved with the loan portfolio. An unregulated banking financial institution might be fraught with unmanageable risks for the purpose of maximizing its potential return. In such a situation, the banking financial institutions might find itself in serious financial distress instead of improving its financial health. Consequently, not only the depositors but also the general shareholders will be deprived of their money from the bank. The deterioration of loan quality will also affect the intermediation efficiency of the financial institutions and thus the economic growth process of the country. This establishes the fact that banks should provide increasing emphasis on various analytical tools and techniques for screening proposals and loan decision taking. Credit Worthiness Analysis is one of the most important activities before sanctioning any credit to a new borrower as well as existing borrower to avoid any default risk and for improving the operational efficiency of nationalized and private sector commercial banks. 1.2 Rational of the study: The principal function of the bank is to lend. Lending comprises a very...
