Symptoms of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Hashimoto's symptoms may be mild at first or take years to develop. The first sign of the disease is often an enlarged thyroid, called a goiter. The goiter may cause the front of your neck to look swollen. A large goiter may make swallowing difficult. Other symptoms of an underactive thyroid due to Hashimoto's may include: 1 weight gain. 2 fatigue. 3 paleness or puffiness of the face

In this article. Also called Hashimoto's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease, a disorder in which the immune system turns against the body's own tissues. In people with Hashimoto's, the immune system attacks the thyroid. The first sign of the disease is often an enlarged thyroid, called a goiter. The goiter may cause the front of your neck to look swollen. A large goiter may make swallowing difficult. Other symptoms of an underactive thyroid due to Hashimoto's may include: 1 weight gain. 2 fatigue.

The Gymnosperms (Conifers, cycads and allies). are seed-bearing vascular plants, such as cycads, ginkgo, yews and conifers, in which the ovules or seeds are not enclosed in an ovary. The word gymnosperm comes from the Greek word gymnospermos, meaning naked seeds. Gymnosperm seeds develop either on the surface of scale or leaf-like appendages of cones, or at the end of short stalks. The largest group of living gymnosperms are the conifers (pines, cypresses and relatives) and the smallest is ginkgo, a single living plant species found in China. There are around 1000 species of gymnosperm. You can also browse genera found in Gymnosperm

--Gymnosperms are a taxonomic class that includes plants whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovule (like a pine cone). Gymnosperm means as naked seed. This group is often referred to as softwoods. Gymnosperms usually have needles that stay green throughout the year. Examples are pines, cedars, spruces and firs. Some gymnosperms do drop their leaves-ginkgo, dawn redwood, and baldcypress, to name a few. --Angiosperms are a taxonomic class of plants in which the mature seed is surrounded by the ovule (think of an apple). This group is often referred to as hardwoods. Angiosperms are trees have broad leaves that usually change color and die every autumn. Oaks, maples and dogwoods are examples of deciduous trees

As you increase your specialty focus as an RN, you also increase your earning power. For example, an RN specializing in anesthesia can earn a starting salary of $110,000 to $130,000 annually, according to a 2009 study of wages reported by the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist website. The more education you have as an RN, the more you make starting out, according to the Journal of Nursing. An RN with a bachelor's degree can expect a starting salary of between $40,000 and $50,000 each year. A master's degree-holding RN should earn between $50,000 and $62,000 per year as a starting salary. Related Reading: The Effects of Starting a New Career

The urban heat island effect leads to increased rainfall, both in amounts and intensity, downwind of cities. Global warming is also causing changes in the precipitation pattern globally, including wetter conditions across eastern North America and drier conditions in the tropics. When air turbulence occurs, water droplets collide, producing larger droplets. As these larger water droplets descend, coalescence continues, so that drops become heavy enough to overcome air resistance and fall as rain.

doc_767531

There are three different ways of turning moist air into cloud, so that it rains or snows. Rain-and other forms of precipitation-occur when warm moist air cools and condensation occurs. Since warm air can hold more water than cool air, when the warmer air is cooled the moisture condenses to liquid-and it rains. The video and text below explain how rain forms and the different types of rain that we get in the UK. Frontal rain occurs when two air masses meet. When a warm air mass meets a cold air mass, they don't mix as they have different densities (a bit like oil and water).

Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then precipitated —that is, become heavy enough to fall under gravity. Rain is a major component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth. It provides suitable conditions for many types of ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation. When air turbulence occurs, water droplets collide, producing larger droplets. As these larger water droplets descend, coalescence continues, so that drops become heavy enough to overcome air resistance and fall as rain.

Hypothermia occurs when your body loses heat faster than it produces it. The most common causes of hypothermia are exposure to cold-weather conditions or cold water. But prolonged exposure to any environment colder than your body can lead to hypothermia if you aren't dressed appropriately or can't control the conditions. Specific conditions leading to hypothermia include: 1 Wearing clothes that aren't warm enough for weather conditions. 2 Staying out in the cold too long.

As it is always warmer than the surrounding air, it continues rising. Low pressure leads to unstable air conditions. When the ground is heated, the air will rise and keep rising. Eventually, the rising air will cool enough to produce condensation (cloud and rain). When the atmosphere is at high pressure, the rising air bubble is always cooler than the surrounding air. When the ground is heated, the air will not rise. If air does not rise, rain cannot condense. Convection rain requires a warm ground and low pressure. It causes short showers interspaced with sunny periods.

Disproportionation is a specific type of redox reaction in which a species is simultaneously reduced and oxidised to form two different products. The oxidation state of oxygen is -1/2 in the superoxide free radical anion, -1 in hydrogen peroxide and 0 in dioxygen. 1 In the Cannizzaro reaction, an aldehyde is converted into an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. 2 In the related Tishchenko reaction, the organic redox reaction product is the corresponding ester.

An example of a disproportionation reaction that is accompanied by redistribution of alkyl groups is the conversion of alkyl benzenes into a mixture of benzene and polyalkyl benzenes when treated with aluminum chloride: the redistribution of atoms or their groups among molecules of the same substance, as a result of which the substance becomes two or more different substances, some of which have more—and others fewer—of those atoms or groups than the original substance.

Disproportionation reactions follow the form: 2A → A' + A. where A, A', and A are all different chemical species. The reverse reaction of disproportionation is called comproportionation. Examples: Hydrogen peroxide converting into water and oxygen is a disproportionation reaction. 2 H 2 O 2 → H 2 O + O 2.

The Colosseum or Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. Unlike earlier amphitheatres that were built into hillsides, the Colosseum is an entirely free-standing structure. It is elliptical in plan and is 189 metres (615 ft / 640 Roman feet) long, and 156 metres (510 ft / 528 Roman feet) wide, with a base area of 6 acres.

By the year 1000 the name Colosseum had been coined to refer to the amphitheatre.

The Colosseum's original Latin name was Amphitheatrum Flavium, often anglicized as Flavian Amphitheater. The building was constructed by emperors of the Flavian dynasty, hence its original name. This name is still used frequently in modern English, but it is generally unknown. Unlike earlier amphitheatres that were built into hillsides, the Colosseum is an entirely free-standing structure. It is elliptical in plan and is 189 metres (615 ft / 640 Roman feet) long, and 156 metres (510 ft / 528 Roman feet) wide, with a base area of 6 acres.

Emphysema is a chronic respiratory disease where there is over-inflation of the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs, causing a decrease in lung function, and often, breathlessness. In the early stages of emphysema, the only result may be dysfunction of the small airways. Patients with emphysema may show an increase in the total amount of air that is in the lungs (total lung capacity), but a decrease in the amount of air that can be breathed out after taking a deep breath (vital capacity).
