Geyikli is a village on an elevated plateau slightly inland in the Troad Peninsula of Southern Marmara, south of the regional hub of Çanakkale. Southwest of Geyikli proper is the coastal suburb of Odunluk İskelesi, a small collection of low-lying housing developments (used by Turkish families from elsewhere in the country during summers) and a few old stone-built warehouses that were witnesses of the times gone-by when this was the main port of the area. Further south from Odunluk İskelesi is the small fishing village of Dalyan.

While these communities fronting the sea are as good as any others for a swim on this stretch of the northern Aegean coastline, the main reason for a visit here would be taking a ferry across to the island of Bozcaada (Tenedos) from Geyikli's modern harbour, or visiting the ruins of Alexandria Troas, which lie scattered along the road east of Dalyan.

Geyikli, with its primarily agricultural population of over 3,000, is one of the principal towns of its surrounding region. It took its name from Geyikli Baba ("father with deers"), a dervish who raised deers in the area in c. 14th century, during the days of the Karasids (a small Turkish kingdom ruled in the post-Byzantine Troad) and the early Ottoman expansion. His recently restored shrine now rests among the oliveyards 2 km southeast of the village. Fans of Turkish cinema will immediately recognize the name of Geyikli, as the 2010 comedy Eyyvah Eyvah and its sequel Eyyvah Eyvah 2 were filmed in Geyikli and the surrounding region, and are honoured by a community park named after them in the centre of the village.

West of Geyikli, 4 km below on the coast, is the large harbour of Yükyeri İskelesi ("freight harbour"), built in 1990s and from where the car ferries to Bozcaada now depart.

Odunluk İskelesi ("wood harbour"), 4.5 km south of Yükyeri and 5.5 km southwest of Geyikli, was the main harbour of the area, much smaller than that of Yükyeri, its main export commodity being oak nuts, which were prized in Europe for dye production. However, with the quick growth of the chemical industry came the synthetic dyes, and the acorn trade decreased as a result. The harbour changed to exporting charcoal, then, which lead to wide destruction of the oak forests of the area. Later it became the connection point for Bozcaada with the mainland, and the major port for exporting the wine of the island. Now its short breakwater shelters fishing vessels.

Dalyan, a very small coastal village surrounded by pine woods, is another 3 km south of Odunluk İskelesi, also with its own harbour. It is the nearest modern settlement to ancient Alexandria Troas, but does not stand on the exact same location.

As with other easily-accessible communities on the Turkish coasts, around and between these villages, especially along the beaches, lie numerous housing developments of usually two-storey houses, each with small plots packed around a central garden, road or carpark. The residents of these estates most often stay only during the summer, when they escape the hot and humid air of the cities where they make abode during the rest of the year.

Get in

By bus

During summer months, at least two daily buses make it all the way from Istanbul through Geyikli to the ferries to Bozcaada at the Yükyeri İskelesi. Keep in mind that it might take around 7 hours despite the relatively short distance, due to the numerous stops the buses make in the towns on the way. If for some reason you miss this connection, the main hub for the region is the town of Ezine on the main highway south of Çanakkale, and relatively well connected with the rest of the country. There should be a minibus at least until 21:00 departing there for Geyikli during the high season.

By car

Two roads connect Geyikli with the main ÇanakkaleIzmir highway (D550/E87): one of them branches off just south of the junction for Troy (look for signposts for Bozcaada there), and the other just south of Ezine. (There is also an older third road connecting with the latter of the listed above, passing right through the downtown Ezine, but it's no longer signposted from the main highway.) Both roads are in a quite good shape.

Get around

The roads connecting the two ports with Geyikli are fairly good. The road leading south to Dalyan and Alexandria Troas less so, being a narrow and twisting road full of potholes through the woods, but with a bit of careful driving, is easily negotiable by a standard family car.

All settlements reportedly have (infrequent) minibus connections with Geyikli, the trickiest part to get to being Dalyan, and especially Alexandria Troas, where a car at your disposal will come real handy. Otherwise, be ready for lengthy waits on roadsides exposed to the elements. If all else fails, just stick your thumb out, as with other parts of decidedly little travelled rural Turkey, the drivers are fairly helpful there.

Well, there is a couple of half-ruined stone warehouses close to the port at Odunluk İskelesi, where the acorns were once stored before being exported, and a nice but otherwise unremarkable allee south of the port (eventually leading to Dalyan), shaded by some old stone pines on both sides, and not much else to see... except, of course, the scant ruins of Alexandria Troas, some of which eerily stand deep in dense oak scrubland, where a visit will provide quite a sensation of coming close to what the eyes of the pioneer travellers of the centuries past should have met with.

Alexandria Troas

Founded by Antigonus in 306 BCE and expanded later by Lysimachus (both high-ranking officers in Alexander's army), Alexandria Troas ("Alexandria in the Troad"; the city was colloquially known as Troas in its heyday, though) was one of the about 20 cities in the Old World that was named after the Macedonian ruler. (Interestingly, Alexander's army was one of the very few throughout the history that made the crossing between Europe and Asia on the Dardanelles instead of the narrower Bosphorus to the northeast.) Troas was built around an artificial harbour originally created and operated by the city of Neandreia on the highlands of the peninsular interior to the east (See the "Go next" section below for more details on this place), and quickly grew to house as much as 100,000 people (an impressive number for the antiquity) thanks to the easy business conducted by the harbour. It's not hard to see why: in the days when the wind power was the main source of energy for long-distance travel, you might had to wait for the blow from the right direction for weeks, or even months, for a passage to the Black Sea through the Straits of Dardanelles, which often has northerly winds and strong currents. However, this wasn't an easy task as there were practically no harbours on the western coasts of the Troad Peninsula, and the only available port close enough to the mouth of the Straits, the small harbour of the island of Tenedos, offered little protection from the strong north wind. Hence the idea of the Neandreians to dig up the coastal marshlands to create a deep cove as a safe harbour in this place, which made Alexandria Troas so rich, powerful, and well-known that the Roman emperor Julius Caesar (r. 49-44 BCE) is said to have considered proclaiming here his new capital, and the latter Constantine I (r. 306-337 CE) had visited the city himself for the same purpose as well, but eventually deciding in favour of the city of his name, Constantinople (Istanbul), on the Bosphorus. (Curiously, Ottomans named the ruins of Alexandria Troas as Eski Stambul, "the old Istanbul", and the surrounding area as Kestanbol, which might even be a corruption of Constantinople itself.) Connecting the Macedonian coasts directly with the Troad, thus Europe with Asia Minor, so the travellers could avoid crossing through the territory of the warlike Thracian tribes, Troas was an important forwarding point in the Roman postal system, and among the many travellers who used this direct link to Europe was Paul the Apostle, on his second journey.

It's not exactly known when and under what circumstances the city was abandoned, but it should have been depopulated as rapidly as it flourished, like many other settlements through the history which grew a little bit too hastily after an economic boom that took root from a single resource. What is for sure is that the increasing competition of Constantinople for the trade links between the East and the West resulted much loss of power for Troas and its traditional rival nearby, Troy. The harbour, which now is a shallow lagoon (known by the locals as Pembe Göl, "the pink lake", due to the seasonal colouration formed by the microorganisms inhabiting the hypersaline water) cut off from the open sea by a sandbar just south of the modern harbour of Dalyan, should have been silted up by this time.

In the following centuries, Alexandria Troas was often viewed as a quarry with ready to use stones lying about—its columns made their way as far as to the New Mosque in Istanbul's Old City. In the 18th to the late 19th century, when the bathhouse building was still completely intact, it served as the retreat of the local bandits.

The archaeological excavations started just in 2003.

Made famous by Toulouse Latrec. you’ll find it in Paris.

One thing that seems to be in short supply in America these days is respect. I mean respect for each other’s basic humanity. I guess it is largely because social media seems so anonymous, and can in fact be so, that I see so many cases of someone blaming entire groups of people (MAGA wearers, liberals, conservatives, Democrats, Republicans, Rastafarians, Pastafarians, Vegans, meat eaters, women, men, and whoever created mosquitoes, for examples.) I’ll tell you this right now, folks, if you do that, you’ve just lost your argument. Sure, it feels good, but it just shows your own weakness. Ironic, that. Anyway, interpersonal respect is what keeps a society functioning. Respect of authority isn’t it. Respect of social position isn’t it. Respect of wealth or job title isn’t it. It is simply respect for the basic humanity of another person. That is what we need to cultivate, and stat.

We might look to France for some guidance on this, because the French are very much committed to respecting each other’s basic humanity. My first morning ever in France, in 1976, I went to a change booth in a train station (no ATMs in those days) and received a stern lecture from the change lady on how to be polite in society. Fortunately for me, I took her lesson to heart. Not only in France, but after I returned home. I generally say hello, goodbye, please, and thank-you. For years I took that as basic courtesy, and was at first amazed at how much easier simply being polite made things. But, to the French, it is courtesy, yes, but also much more.

In France, the word for hello is “bonjour.” Literally that means “good day,” but it has been used as “hello” for so long that people had to adopt “bonne journée,” which originally meant “good trip you can take out and back in one day.” FYI. Anyhow, you first say “Good Day” and then you add, “Madame” or Monsieur.” Madame literally means “My Lady.” Monsieur literally means “My Lord.” So, no matter who you address in France, you are saying, “Hello, My Lady,” or “Hello, My Lord.” Sounds a bit over the top, but it works. If the President of France wants to speak to a beggar on the corner, the President must first say, “Hello, My Lord” or “Hello, My Lady.” Only then is it proper to begin a conversation. This is why sometimes Americans believe the French to be impolite: because in America we don’t go for such ceremony, and anyway, shouldn’t the shopkeeper say hello first? (Sometimes they do. I would, but it isn’t required.) No matter who you are addressing, it is assumed that you are invading their personal space, and you owe them the simple acknowledgement of that fact, which is to say, a polite greeting. Is the beggar on the corner a Lord or Lady? Probably not, but by using those terms, you grant them the basic dignity due to any human being.

When you combine this basic respect with the French educational goal of being able to discuss literally anything without getting personal, you end up with a polite society where it is considered normal to argue. (No, shopkeepers won’t argue with you. Once you’ve exchanged “bonjours” they’ll be so eager to help that you’ll almost feel guilty.) Imagine a society where arguments were not the Monty Python type (No they aren’t!) but rather reasoned and defensible. We could have that, if we respected each other. We certainly don’t need to go to the lengths of calling each other My Lord or My Lady. In fact, a bunch of patriots once fought a war for the right to eliminate Lords and Ladies. But we can still be respectful. A few suggestions:

  • Don’t call people names. Not even if you hate them. Remember, as we writers occasionally point out, that everyone is the hero of their own story. You may not agree with their reasoning, but you can respect their right to an opinion without getting snarky.
  • Say hello to everyone you expect to interact with, and to anyone on the street with whom you happen to lock eyes. And when you want something from someone, say “please,” and after you get it, say “thank-you.” and Maybe throw in a Sir or Ma’am to really seal the deal. (Yes, watered down versions of those old titles, but still appreciated.)
  • Don’t blame groups, any groups, for society’s problems. We are all members of society, so we all contribute, each in our own way, to the problems. Boomers didn’t wreck the world (trust me,) nor are they any better than any other generation. We all have our quirks. Millenials aren’t lazy. Generation X has never slacked. And Generation Z, while pretty young yet, will make a great contribution (that history will forget) to the welfare of humankind. (Such generations always do. The last one invented rock and roll. They called them “silent,” ironically.)
  • Don’t get over invested in a particular world view. For one thing, in philosophical terms, it’s as likely as not that you have some significant information wrong.
  • Stay cool, stay respectful.

Ladies and Lords, we can do this. We can make America better simply be being mutually respectful. And, very importantly, by being respectful even of those who don’t respect us. In that case, remember, that’s their problem, not yours. Okay?

Great. Now go forth and be respectfully kind to each other! Thank you.

Six psychological techniques to persuade others

Psychologists believe that it is not enough to get others to agree with one’s point of view. It is also necessary to master subtle communication skills. After research, psychologists have proposed many methods to increase persuasiveness, among which there are six basic.

1. Take advantage of “home advantage”

A big tree in your neighbor’s house is intertwined and densely rooted, with luxuriant branches and leaves, which obscures the sunlight in the vegetable field in your back garden. Do you want to discuss this with him, should you go to his house or invite him to your house?

Psychologist Ralph Taylor and others once divided a group of college students into upper, middle, and lower grades according to their ability to dominate (that is, the ability to influence others), and then take the first grade to form a group, let them discuss the university’s ten budgets Which of the reduction plans is the best? Half of the groups are in the dormitory with high control ability, and half are in the dormitory with low control ability. Taylor found that the results of the discussion always followed the opinions of the dormitory owner, even if the owner is a low-power student.

It can be seen that a person is more persuasive in his own or familiar environment than in the environment of others. In his daily life, he should make full use of the home advantage. If he cannot discuss things in his own home or office, he should also try his best. It is carried out in a neutral environment so that the other party has no home advantage.

2. Modification of the instrument

Do you want your superiors to sign the application form. Do you care about the trouble and carefully modify the appearance, or do you believe that others will listen to it and not look at it?

We usually think that we are much more affected by the words of others than by the appearance of others, but this is not always the case. We will unconsciously judge people by clothes. Some people have proved through experiments that people who dress differently and seek help from passersby. Those who are well-behaved and attractive are more likely to succeed than those who are not shy.

3. Make yourself equal to the other person

You are trying to encourage a group of young people to clean up a certain place, but they prefer to go elsewhere. How do you arouse their interest?

Many researchers have found that if you try to change someone’s personal preferences, the more you identify yourself with him, the more convincing you are. For example, a good salesman always matches his tone, volume, and rhythm with customers. Even the body posture and breathing are unconsciously consistent with customers. This is because humans have a tendency to believe in “one’s own people.” As the psychologist Haas said: “A brewery owner can tell you why one beer is better than another, but your friends, whether they are knowledgeable or less knowledgeable, may treat you. Which beer you choose has a greater impact.”

4. Reflect how the other person feels

You are going to visit a newly moved couple next door and ask them to collect donations for a project in the community. Which method is best?

The mediocre persuader is straightforward to make demands, and the result is disputes and deadlock; while the good persuader first establishes an atmosphere of trust and sympathy. If the host is worried about something, you say: “I understand your feelings, and if it were me, I will do the same.” This shows respect for the feelings of others. In future conversations, the other party will also pay attention to it.

Of course, good persuaders are not always smooth sailing. He will also encounter opposition from others. At this time, experienced persuaders will often restate the other’s opinions, admit that it has advantages, and then point out that their opinions are better and more comprehensive. Research has proved that it is more convincing to present the opinions of both parties before drawing conclusions than to just state your own opinions.

5. Present strong evidence

You are going to participate in a certain decision-making meeting and strive for a larger sum of money for a cause that is not valued by everyone. What kind of evidence is the most convincing?

If you provide the audience with reliable information rather than personal opinions, you will increase your persuasive power. But remember that the audience is affected by the evidence and the source of the evidence to the same extent. In an experiment, two groups of subjects were asked to hear an argument about whether they can sell anti-resistance amine tablets without a prescription, and then they were told that the evidence that they could be sold came from the New England Journal of Physiology and Medicine (this is fictitious). ), the other group was told that the evidence came from a popular pictorial. It turns out that more people in the first group than in the second group agree that resistance amine tablets can be sold without a prescription. Therefore, quoting authority can eliminate the audience’s preconceptions.

6. Use specific plots and examples

If you advertise and promote a certain drug, should it be a good introduction to the ingredients, functions, and usage of the drug? Or should it be a good example of how a patient recovers quickly after using it?

Good persuaders know this point clearly: individual concrete examples and experiences are more convincing than generalized arguments and general principles. Therefore, if you want to sell more medicines, you should use the latter method as appropriate. In daily life, if you want to persuade others, you should use circumstantial evidence, use specific examples, and not just preach.

In short, the ability to persuade others and win approval is not a mysterious talent. By learning some social communication skills (of course, we must first have a correct view), we can enhance the persuasive power of our own speech. In order to firmly believe this, you might as well give it a try.

Osteoarthritis Joints In Addition To Their Impact On Your System

Upper back pain may happen in most individuals, which affects more than 85Percent of usa citizens ultimately. Lower back pain effects as soon as the muscle tissue bordering a vertebra gets upset and inflamed because of extreme force or strain. Common results in include things like delicate-flesh diseases and mechanised difficulties with the backbone. These difficulties may incorporate compact disk troubles, injury to the intervertebral hard disk drives, and improper motion with the back bone.

The disks are disks, commonly crafted from flexible material but they can made of bone, that happen to be discovered regarding the your bones and also the backbone. The vertebrae are extremely understanding of force and usually split and pooch if a lot demand is applied in their mind. Common causes of this disorder include training wrongly, sustained duplicated activities, and very poor human body mechanics for example falling. Most those who have lumbar pain show many of the adhering to signs or symptoms: some weakness from the muscles with the again, abnormal tenderness, persistent agony that becomes worse any time you proceed, stiffness of muscular tissues or structures inside the backside, and infection of affected areas. An actual exam will not likely ensure a diagnosis of vertebrae osteo arthritis, but selected symptoms do assist to eliminate other feasible disorders.

Spinal osteo arthritis is actually a condition in which the appropriate fibrous covering the vertebrae your bones is worn away. It happens if you have a degenerative course of action transpiring within the vertebrae, triggering the fibrous to breakdown. Ancestral conditions, or a decrease in the strength of the muscles aiding the back, this may occur thanks to repeating strain towards the back. Symptoms include things like calf agony, instability or lulling with the hips, pins and needles or tingling in the arms or legs, and complications with position and walking. In such a circumstance, we have a pretty good chance the person may be unable to transfer in any way, y-light is usually necessary to look for the magnitude on the ruined suspensory ligaments.

Paralysis of the muscle tissues is another major problem, and. Considering that the muscle mass are disabled, you will find greater pain and stiffness while in the returning. In case the disability is intense ample, it might intensify and trigger problems in jogging, arising originating from a resting situation, or going the bowels.

Stretches are an important approach to keep the muscle groups throughout the back bone formidable, furthermore. Stretching is the important joints mobile, permitting them to exercise easily and properly. However, overstretching can on occasion do more harm than good. It can cause more pain and swelling, that will make it more complicated to prevent injury or continue to be productive. Therefore, it is critical to do as instructed on the stretches workout adequately.

Over-the-counter painkillers are also a very popular solution to minimizing suffering.

How to design and draw a gravity fed water system using computer

4 Answers

I am not aware of any programmes available specifically for designing gravity water systems. The design process is quite simple and can easily be accomplished using pencil and paper or an excel spread sheet. The pressure drop in simple branched systems can be designed using the Hazen Williams formula, or more easily using head loss charts such as the Hydraulics research Station Charts for the hydraulic design of channels and pipes (not available in electronic format). If you need a calculation programme to document your design then you could try Mathcad, avaialable for free at, but you will not require any advanced mathematics capabilities or algorithms to achieve an efficient design.

An overview of the design process can be found at

Drawing of the hydraulic profile is a relatively trivial task, and can easily be accomplished with a rule and some graph paper. IF you wish to use a CAD programme you can download Draftsight for free at

EPANET will work just fine for gravity fed systems. See

There is also a epanet bases plugin for QGIS.

Both are free to download and there a lot of tutorials for epanet.

I always found computer programmes useful for designing gravity schemes. However the success of any scheme relied finally on a understanding how the scheme would work (or not) in practice including how to avoid airlocks and how to accommodate peak flows at taps. Good detailing was also very important. A programme might help with the science but not necessarily the art!

Dear John Cody,

Thank you for the information on Gravity Water Flow System, we do solar water pump installations from Lorentz water pump manufacturer. The way we calculate static head is putting all our estimates measurements is from the Lorentz Compass software system to peak the exact pump for the project. The total dynamic head (TDH)Distance from the well depth to the higher point of water delivery tank.

📚 Are entity substitutes good or bad in literature?

This forum is for any topic that you would normally talk about at the office "around the coffee pot". Jokes, tall tales, and true stories are welcome as long as they are clean and in good taste. I only ask that you steer away from topics on religion or politics. Go ahead and pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy the conversation.

📚 What are entity substitution in literature?

device which allows the reader or hearer to trace participants, entities, events, etc. in a text. Substitution and ellipsis, unlike reference, are grammatical rather than semantic relationships. In substitution, an item is replaced by another item. The sentence, “ Did you come yesterday? Yes, I did.” is a good example of substitution.

Although the dominant view in the literature is that the Substitution Problem and the Objectivization Effect are problems principally for defenders of the Relational Analysis (e.g., Prior 1971, Bach 1997, Recanati 2000, Moltmann 2003; 2004), it is intriguing to ask whether some version of these problems arise for everyone — friend or foe of the Relational Analysis, friend or foe of propositions.

AS had some difficulties in handwriting single letters and digits, and he was totally unable to write words and numbers. Most errors consisted of incomplete and poorly formed letters and letter substitutions (lower-case cursive more affected than upper-case print). Letters, words and numbers copying was better preserved than writing to dictation.

From a nutritional perspective, this must qualify eggs as ‘good’. The greater burden of proof has been to establish that eggs are not ‘bad’, by increasing awareness of the difference between dietary and blood cholesterol, and accumulating sufficient evidence to exonerate eggs from their associations with CVD and diabetes.

The IDF is defined as the maximum amount by which the input vector can be proportionally contracted while still being able to produce the output vector: (2) D I ( x, y, b) = sup θ: ( y, b, x / θ) ∈ P ( x) The IDF value is by definition the reciprocal of the input-based measure of technical efficiency.

What qualifies as procurement fraud? These activities include bribes and kickbacks to cover up falsified pricing, product substitutions, substandard quality issues, anticompetitive policy violations, counterfeit goods and the occasional shell companies that involve an employee and sometimes a close outside collaborator.

As a literary device, apostrophe is used in literature to allow a character to speak to an object, abstract idea, absent person, or someone who doesn’t exist as if it is a living, present person. Apostrophe is effective in a literary work for its dramatic effect, to demonstrate the importance of the object, idea, or absent person, and to allow readers to witness a character’s personal and intimate expression.

They offer a set of alternative stories as one story, which can be explained neither as happening simultaneously (because they can only be substitutions for each other) nor as happening in sequence (because they cannot be combined according to normal logic: they erase or cancel out each other,” argues Patricia Waugh in Metafiction: The Theory and Practice of Self Conscious Fiction.

One difference is that reference can reach a long way back in the text whereas ellipsis and substitution are largely limited to the immediately preceding clause. Another key difference is that with reference there is a typical meaning of co-reference. That is, both items typically refer to the same thing.

Entity resolution, the task of automatically determining which mentions refer to the same real-world entity, is a crucial aspect of knowledge base construction and management. However, performing entity resolution at large scales is challenging because (1) the inference algorithms must cope with unavoidable system scalability issues and (2) the search space grows exponentially in the number of mentions.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, because if there is something sadly lacking in literary and cultural studies today it is formalist expertise. The fact remains, however, that deviation stylistics has been part of literary scholarship for quite some time now.

The Pieta was created by Michelangelo in 1498 and it was asked for by a French Cardinal to decorate his tomb. Throughout this time the Pieta to be a Gothic piece that to be primarily famous in France and also Germany, yet not Italy. Nonetheless, Michelangelo accepted the commission and made his very first trip to Cararra to find the ideal quality marble.

Michelangelo was a highly religious man who primarily operated for the Catholic church. He as such believed in piety and the sin that lust. In his Pieta mar is viewed as a youthful figure cradling her adult son. As soon as asked why he had sculpted the challenge of mar as a young girl Michelangelo responded that Mary had actually not aged because she was totally free from desire. According to Michelangelo"s concept chaste, virgin ladies would not have actually the guilty of their stays etched onto your faces. Fairly they would stay pure and youthful forever.Furthermore in Michelangelo"s work, mar is a huge figure who is easily able to hold an adult Jesus in she arms and this reverse of sizes to be a commonly used tool throughout the High Renaissance. It permitted Michelangelo come balance his art and also give mary equal standing come Jesus in the sculpture.After Michelangelo had created the Pieta that overhead a team of men offer credit to another man for the work. In a right of ill-humor Michelangelo chiseled his name right into the sculpture. He soon regretted his right of jealousy pride and also for this reason Pieta is the only job-related that Michelangelo ever signed.Although Pieta was initially intended for Cardinal Jean de Billhereshis" funeral monument, that was at some point moved to its present resting ar in St Peter"s Basilica and it remains among Michelangelo"s most renowned works that art.

Michelangelo to be a pious guy who worked primarily for the church and also therefore the vast bulk of his art was influenced by religious themes. Pieta is a relocating piece the was influenced by Michelangelo"s deep faith.There were plenty of pietas in German and French art because the layout of mar cradling Jesus originated in this area. However Michelangelo"s Pieta is distinctive in the he mixed Gothic subject matter with Renaissance ideologies. Influenced by naturalism, Michelangelo still utilized classic beauty in his sculpture and that is why Mary has actually the youthful attributes of her younger self.Additionally, Michelangelo thought that chaste ladies did no age, and also of course mar was a virgin.Michelangelo also had a good liking because that Dante"s magnificent Commedia, in i m sorry the author says that since Jesus is a component of the holy Trinity, mar is technically his daughter. Thus the artist was inspired by Dante to develop his mary as a beautiful, young figure who had not only carried Jesus, but was additionally his child.

Composition: Mary is sat swathed in robes and also cradling a lifeless Jesus. His head is flopped back against her shoulder and also his legs space supported through his mother"s arms. Set after the time when Jesus had been crucified, the two figures are disproportionately sized. Mary is extremely big in comparison come the muscular yet small figure that Jesus.Mary has the functions of a beautiful young lady rather than the mommy of a totally grown man.Use of Space: Michelangelo"s sculpture is in a pyramid shape. The peak of Mary"s head is tiny before the sculpture broadens out to Mary"s broad legs, which room covered in a big amount that material. She head is out of proportion to the remainder of her body. She has actually a small, delicate challenge with pretty features.The reason that Mary and also Jesus room out of relationship is because of the technical difficulties of having actually a mrs cradle a totally grown man. This disproportionate use of sizing was typical in Renaissance art and thus Michelangelo"s Pieta was not taken into consideration bizarre.Mood, tone and emotion: The spiritual theme of Michelangelo"s Pieta is in maintaining with the remainder of hsi ouevre. Additionally the sorrowful tone of the Pieta evokes pity in the viewer.

During life: Michelangelo was i was delegated to create the Pieta by a French Cardinal once he was a fairly unknown artist and this Gothic design template was not renowned in Italy at the time. A group of Lombard guys who came throughout the work asserted that the masterpiece had plainly been developed by a other Lombard. Overhearing this v disgust, Michelangelo later on return come the the work and also inscribed ~ above the marble "Michelangelo created this".After Death: After Michelangelo passed far his call as one of the best Renaissance master only continued to grow. For plenty of centuries world considered him come be one of the biggest sculptures, painters and architects of all time.Today Michelangelo"s Pieta can be found in one of the corners the St. Peter"s Basilica. That is often said to be among his most finished works, having actually been highly polished after he sculpted it.

Palestrina Pietà: The Palestrina Pieta is a sculpture that was initially thought to have actually been created by Michelangelo approximately 1550. But art movie critics are currently skeptical about who developed the sculpture and also no longer believe that it was Michelangelo.Made that marble the sculpture expose the deceased human body of Jesus being supported by two figures. One of them is hold Jesus under his arm and looking down at his face, whille the various other is a smaller number looking up in ~ the lifeless Jesus, who legs appear to be wrapped in a twine.This sculpture different from Michelangelo"s due to the fact that Jesus is being organized in one upright position. Vice versa, Mary has Jesus draped throughout her legs, here the dead number is being sustained under his arms.Michael to be Zollfeld, Pieta, c. 1420: This sculpture is a little dilapidated in comparison come Michelangelo"s but the sculpture is the same, through Mary cradling a lifeless Jesus in she arms. Furthermore Jesus and the Mary are disproportionately sized.However this is a wood sculpture that has actually been painted. In turn it is a vibrant piece that very closely portrays the saddened face expression that the Virgin Mary. The item is perceived by plenty of to be highly indicative the the kind of Pieta"s that were being created in north Europe throughout this time.

When Michelangelo was asked to develop the Pieta no he nor his subject matter were famous in Italy. However he accepted the commission for the Gothic sculpture and collection to work developing the sculpture for the Cardinal"s tomb. The very polished and finished job-related is now thought about one the Michelangelo"s biggest scultpures and also indeed works of art.Produced before Michelangelo had the respect the he garnered during the height of his career the Pieta was nevertheless favorably received when it was an initial displayed. Moreover, respect for the work has not lessened over time, and also Pieta is currently joyously viewed by numerous visitors yearly in Vatican City.

greens plant - In this post, we'll discuss the essentials of designing a beautiful and relaxing garden. We'll also cover a few ideas to keep in mind as you plant, and will give you ideas for which kind of plants to plant, as well as what plants are best suited to each other.

A plant's ability to adapt to the environment is dependent on a number of variables, including the relativeimportance of water, light, air, nutrients, and the temperature of the environment. The capacity of a species of plant to move across an area depends on its capacity to adapt to the abiotic and biotic components of that area.

The ability of a plant to adapt to the environment depends on a myriad of aspects, including the importance of light, water oxygen, nutrients, and temperature in the particular conditions. The capacity of a species of plant to expand across an area is contingent on its capacity to adapt to the biotic and abiotic components of the region.

The capacity of plants to adapt to the environment is contingent upon a variety of aspects, including the importance of light, water, oxygen, nutrients, and the temperature in the area. The capacity of a plant species to expand across an area is dependent on its ability to adapt to the biotic and abiotic components of that region.

There are many factors that influence plant competition, including climate, soil conditions, and the availability in other sources. Competition is the most significant interaction among plants. The species of plant with the highest chance of succeeding in a particular region is the one which makes use of the resources in that region most efficiently.

Light that hits the surface of a plant will either be captured, reflect or transmitted. Energy from sunlight can be one of the main driving factors in the chemical reaction called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process through which green plants manufacture food, most notably sugar, using carbondioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll. It makes use of sunlight to generate energy and release oxygen and water.

The most crucial requirement for plant life. It's among the primary requirements for plant growth. It keeps the plant healthy It is also used in photosynthesis, and moves nutrients around the plant. It also lowers the temperature of leaves as well as increases mineral absorption and pulls water away from the roots up to the top of the plants via the process known as transpiration.

Wind is the movement of air that is often beneficial for plants. It increases the transfer of heat away from leaf surfaces, increases circulation in areas prone to fungal growth, and is often essential to transport seeds in the air. It can also be harmful to plantsby drying out leaves, scattering seeds of weeds and sometimes even the plants are killed.

The average temperature of the air varies with latitude, altitude, and topography. Temperature and climate affect the kinds of plants that can grow. The capacity of plants to tolerate cold temperatures and to thrive in cooler areas is called cold hardiness. Plants that aren't able to withstand cool weather are called soft.

Soils are composed of a mix of organic matter, minerals, water, and air in varying proportions. Minerals are tiny particles that originate from rocks which have been broken down over long time due to the effects of weathering. Organic matter is made up from living creatures, waste substances and decay products.

The term "texture" refers to the particles which dominate. Texture of a soil will influence the amount of water, air, and nutrients that are held in the soil. The penetration of air, water, and roots is more easily through soils in which bigger particles are dominant.

A passion project of actor and director, Edward Norton's ever since he read Lethem's novel in 1999, the film took nearly 20 years to go into production. The movie differs significantly from the book. Although the book is set in contemporary times, Norton felt the plot and dialogue lent themselves more to a noir setting.  Set in New York in 1957, armed with a few clues and the powerful engine of his mind, Lionel Essrog unravels secrets that hold the fate of the whole city in the balance.

12 Minutes and Theme

StoryScan: Critical hit

StoryScan: Critical Hit highlights specific aspects of a individual game narratives that are exceptionally well done. In this essay, we’re covering 12 Minutes (Annapurna Interactive, 2021), the time-loop driven adventure game set in a three-room apartment. This essay will cover the entire storyline, including the various endings. Players who have not completed the game may want to set this article aside until later, as it contains substantial spoilers for the main storyline.

Content Warning: This essay contains discussion of significant spoilers that involve sexual trauma, which may be upsetting to some. Those who wish to avoid this content may want to set this article aside. For those looking for an alternative study of theme, check out our Disco Elysium breakdown or our general essay on theme.

12 Minutes: Poster
Annapurna Interactive and Luis Antonio’s 12 Minutes is an interactive thriller that asks players to escape a time loop.

12 Minutes, an adventure game developed by Luís António and published Annapurna Interactive, has been raising eyebrows since its release. The initial intrigue built from the premise, escaping a twelve-minute time-loop, has given way to discomfort around the game’s more questionable plot twists. The multiple endings also left some players uncertain what the story ultimately meant. Screenrant reviewer Rob Gordon summarized his issues with the game in his review, stating: “Twelve Minutes is atmospheric and hugely ambitious within its tight time limits, [but] is held back by unsatisfying narrative payoffs.”1

While there is merit to Gordon’s argument, as well as the pushback against certain plot twists, the narrative of 12 Minutes does a few important things right. Its plot, characters, and setting are all connected to the theme of mindfulness and the struggle to exist in the present. Using the recurring motif of clocks, including a symbolic pocket watch, 12 Minutes keeps its theme front and center, which gives even the most benign interactions multiple layers of meaning. This commitment to theme helps the narrative overcome its deficits in pacing and setup, resulting in a unique experience that may not leave players entirely satisfied but is guaranteed to keep them thinking.

Theme and Plot

12 Minutes: Husband and Wife Dancing
12 Minutes isn’t just a story about a man escaping a time loop; it’s about learning to live in the present.

Describing the plot of 12 Minutes is a larger undertaking than it would seem at first glance. On the surface, the player is in control of a young man known only as Husband (voiced by James McAvoy), who is repeatedly reliving a pivotal twelve minutes of his life. The player’s actions dictate the particulars of each loop, but almost all the loops share two consistent elements: the protagonist’s wife (Daisy Ridley) and a man who claims to be a police officer (Willem Dafoe). In the earliest loops, the husband is helpless when the officer breaks into the apartment, accuses the wife of murdering her father, and then beats the husband to death. Once the husband wakes up, it’s the player’s job to guide him through each successive loop, picking up clues about both the wife and the officer. These clues lead to a series of revelations about the characters’ pasts: not only did the wife shoot her father, but she did so in part because he was having an affair. The result of that affair was the player character, Husband, who is now married to his sister—if that part of the story is to be believed.

Successive loops come with more revelations about the past and present, leading to a series of potential endings that recontextualize everything that came before. The final ending, dubbed “Mindfulness” by the in-game achievement system, shows the husband in a book-filled office with a character identical to Dafoe’s officer. After the husband and the officer-double have a brief conversation about mindfulness—the struggle to let go of the past and live in the present—the player can focus on a nearby wall clock until the hour is up. If the player successfully waits out the clock, Dafoe’s character is heard saying:

You do have a remarkable imagination. The stories you’ve created. But believing them so strongly, so deeply is unhealthy. You have to let her go. You can’t keep obsessing over her. Sometimes things just are what they are. It’s time for you to wake up.”

From a plot standpoint, this closing monologue acts as a final curveball, forcing players to wonder which aspects of the story actually happened. From a thematic standpoint, the monologue turns the hunt for truth on its head, encouraging the protagonist to shift his focus from the past to the present. Whether his wife was actually his sister, or if she was pregnant, or if they were even married is not the point. The point is that whether those things happened or not, dwelling on them keeps the protagonist from existing in the present. The time loop reinforces this concept by showing the result of ruminating on things that cannot be changed: a lack of forward progress. It is only by embracing mindfulness and living in the present that the protagonist can break the loop and live his life again.

Theme and Character

12 Minutes: Protagonist
The true character of the husband is obscured by his tenuous relationship with present and past.

The story of 12 Minutes has a tenuous relationship with reality, which makes it difficult to describe characters in objective terms. Some may be composites of the protagonist’s memories; others may be complete fabrications. Nevertheless, these characters are given complete backstories that inform their decisions while also reinforcing the theme. The wife is running from a crime she committed eight years ago: murdering her father. According to her, she was fighting with her father when he struck her, and she retaliated by shooting him with his own gun. Afterward, she fled the scene and made a new life in a new town, but she was always looking over her shoulder for people who knew what she had done. Meanwhile, the officer who breaks into the apartment has a complex past of his own: he, too, knew the wife’s father, and he swore he would get revenge after the father died. To that end, he’s spent the last eight years tracking the killer, and he’s finally found the information he needs to prove it was the wife. Real or imagined, the characters of both the wife and the officer share a common flaw: they’re both incapable of letting go of their pasts.

Unlike the wife and the officer, the protagonist is undeniably real (within the confines of the fictional world), yet he shares their thematic struggle to exist in the present. Each of the time loops—his differing visions of reality—are unified around the idea of past trauma. He dislikes acknowledging the mother he lost, and he struggles to remember his falling out with his father. When he finally does, his conflicting memories are violent and shocking, leaving him arguably worse off than he was before. The “Continue” ending acknowledges this, giving the protagonist the option to forget everything he’s learned and start over, deleting the player’s progress in the process. It’s an extreme move, but it’s also thematically important, as it shows what happens if the protagonist obliterates his own past instead of accepting it. Should the player choose this ending, they’ll be forced to start from scratch, which places the protagonist back in the time loop. The result is that he hasn’t escaped his past at all; he’s just delayed accepting it.

Theme and Setting

The setting changes as the loops progress, symbolizing the harm that comes with avoiding reality.

The setting of 12 Minutes is rich with symbols that reinforce the theme of mindfulness. While most of the game takes place in just three rooms—a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom—each section of the decidedly small space is packed with meaning. Both the bedroom and the living room have elements that change with repeated loops. The bedroom has a dahlia that wilts more with every twelve-minute cycle: a nod to the protagonist’s mother, Dahlia, who plays an essential role in the protagonist’s past. The paintings in both the bedroom and living room change, as well. The summer becomes winter in the landscape; the lovers part ways in the portrait; the egg hatches into an ouroboros, a snake devouring its tail. Successive loops imbue each image with a darker meaning, hinting at the damage the protagonist is doing to himself by dwelling in the past.

While the bathroom does not show the same noticeable changes as the bedroom or the living room, it has its own connection to the theme: the pocket watch in the vent. This pocket watch symbolizes the theme, acting as both a visual reminder of the time and a metaphorical reminder of the past. According to the wife, the pocket watch belonged to her father, and she inherited it after he died. The officer also has a connection to the watch, as he believes he can sell it to cover his daughter’s past-due medical bills. The watch appears again and again until the protagonist uses it to break the cycle and escape the apartment. When he does, he appears in a different space: an office decorated with books (including his wife’s book on mindfulness) and a wall clock. That clock, so similar to the pocket watch, is what allows him to finally focus on the present, bringing the story to its conclusion. The setting itself reinforces the theme: the practice of mindfulness.

12 Minutes is not a perfect game, but it integrates the theme of mindfulness into the story in a compelling way. By tying the theme to the plot, the characters, and the setting, players have multiple opportunities to explore what it means to let go of the past and live in the present. Writers who wish to emphasize the theme of their own works can look to 12 Minutes as an example of how to weave theme into the other narrative elements and create a whole that exceeds the sum of its parts.

Probability theory is the branch of mathematics concerned with probability. Although there are several different probability interpretations , probability theory treats the concept in a rigorous mathematical manner by expressing it through a set of axioms. Typically these axioms formalise probability in terms of a probability space , which assigns a measure taking values between 0 and 1, termed the probability measure , to a set of outcomes called the sample space.

Probability sampling: Definition, types, examples, steps and advantages

Using the central limit theorem, a variety of parametric tests have been developed under assumptions about the parameters that determine the population probability distribution. Compared to non-parametric tests, which do not require any assumptions about the population probability distribution, parametric tests produce more accurate and precise estimates with higher statistical powers. However, many medical researchers use parametric tests to present their data without knowledge of the contribution of the central limit theorem to the development of such tests. Thus, this review presents the basic concepts of the central limit theorem and its role in binomial distributions and the Student's t-test, and provides an example of the sampling distributions of small populations. A proof of the central limit theorem is also described with the mathematical concepts required for its near-complete understanding. The central limit theorem is the most fundamental theory in modern statistics. Without this theorem, parametric tests based on the assumption that sample data come from a population with fixed parameters determining its probability distribution would not exist.

6.5: Sampling Distribution and the Central Limit Theorem

The science of statistics deals with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data. We see and use data in our everyday lives. In your classroom, try this exercise. Have class members write down the average time—in hours, to the nearest half-hour—they sleep per night. Your instructor will record the data. Then create a simple graph, called a dot plot, of the data.

Definition 2 Given a sample space S and a σ-algebra (S,A), a probability measure is a mapping Theorem 5 A function F(·) is a c.d.f. of a random variable X if and only if the following three The joint pdf, fX(x), is a function with. P (X ∈ A) = /.

Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean, x-bar

I have studied many languages-French, Spanish and a little Italian, but no one told me that Statistics was a foreign language. Sections 4. Kind of like stamp collecting, but with numbers. However, statistics covers much more than that.

The sampling distribution of a statistic is the distribution of the statistic for all possible samples from the same population of a given size. Suppose you randomly sampled 10 women between the ages of 21 and 35 years from the population of women in Houston, Texas, and then computed the mean height of your sample. You would not expect your sample mean to be equal to the mean of all women in Houston. It might be somewhat lower or higher, but it would not equal the population mean exactly. Similarly, if you took a second sample of 10 women from the same population, you would not expect the mean of this second sample to equal the mean of the first sample.

7.1 The Central Limit Theorem for Sample Means (Averages)

Suppose X is a random variable with a distribution that may be known or unknown it can be any distribution. Using a subscript that matches the random variable, suppose. The central limit theorem for sample means says that if you keep drawing larger and larger samples such as rolling one, two, five, and finally, ten dice and calculating their means , the sample means form their own normal distribution the sampling distribution.

You now have most of the skills to start statistical inference, but you need one more concept. First, it would be helpful to state what statistical inference is in more accurate terms. Statistical Inference : to make accurate decisions about parameters from statistics. You measure how accurate using probability. In both binomial and normal distributions, you needed to know that the random variable followed either distribution. You need to know how the statistic is distributed and then you can find probabilities. In other words, you need to know the shape of the sample mean or whatever statistic you want to make a decision about.

In Example 6. The probability distribution is:. Whereas the distribution of the population is uniform, the sampling distribution of the mean has a shape approaching the shape of the familiar bell curve. This phenomenon of the sampling distribution of the mean taking on a bell shape even though the population distribution is not bell-shaped happens in general. Here is a somewhat more realistic example. The sampling distributions are:.

What is a relationship? An available relationship, or simply non monogamous relationship, may be a sexual marriage which is not fully commited to any particular person. It’s quite different from a devoted relationship. Start relationships happen to be formed between two people without the emotional dedication. This means simply no pre-engagement. Probably the most famous celebrities get caught in this category, just like Jennifer Lopez and Preliminary, though you will discover others also.

Many of these open relationships are casual and not just too focused on each other. Available relationships are made on integrity, trust, and respect. If you are in a fully commited relationship the partners would expect you to become as psychologically intimate because they are. They would expect you to tell them how you feel, and talk about your expectations openly. However in a casual relationship, the partners could have no purpose to know what you are sense, and their requirements would not end up being as important as your partners’.

Start relationships are made on communication. If your spouse doesn’t show your feelings, however love you, they are not really cheating. You are able to promote your feelings if you choose, but there ought to be safe thoughts shared in the relationship. However , a large number of couples who all do not come to feel safe inside their own thoughts end up breaking up, even though it was not their objective.

There is plenty of communication in open romantic relationships. You can speak with each other about your day, along with your partner may share their particular feelings along. You can also ask questions, bring up problems, and then discuss these people together. It is important that you respect the partner’s would like and limitations, so that both of you remain relaxed in the marriage.

Another great advantage of having this sort of relationship is that you are able to meet multiple people. Having multiple persons in an available relationships allow you to meet new people. Thus giving the opportunity to meet someone new, and revel in dating. It also allows for one to meet somebody russian brides which you might like to day; as well as a whole new romantic existence.

Jealousy is certainly not bad in itself. However , when ever jealousy is present in an start relationship it can lead to a breakup, and in some cases serious issues just like sexual or emotional mistreatment. The root cause of jealousy is a fear of being betrayed or perhaps hurt simply by another person. Should your partner attempts to close all their eyes and pretend just like they have no anything to be jealous of, they are just using you to think safe and secure. When jealousy beyond control, it can also be hard to work alongside your partner; that is why it is so essential that you work through your jealousy, rather than just ignoring that.

Transcript of Chemical Co Ordination And Interaction

You have already learnt that the neural system provides apoint-to-point rapid coordination among organs. The neuralcoordination is fast but short-lived. As the nerve fibres do not innervateall cells of the body and the cellular functions need to be continuouslyregulated; a special kind of coordination and regulation has to beprovided. This function is carried out by hormones. The neural systemand the endocrine system jointly coordinate and regulate thephysiological functions in the body.

Endocrine glands lack ducts and are hence, called ductless glands. Theirsecretions are called hormones. The classical definition of hormone as achemical produced by endocrine glands and released into the blood andtransported to a distantly located target organ has current scientificdefinition as follows: Hormones are non-nutrient chemicals whichact as intercellular messengers and are produced in trace amounts.The new definition covers a number of new molecules in addition to thehormones secreted by the organised endocrine glands. Invertebratespossess very simple endocrine systems with few hormones whereas a largenumber of chemicals act as hormones and provide coordination in thevertebrates. The human endocrine system is described here.

22.2 HumanEndocrineSystem

22.3 Hormones ofHeart, KidneyandGastrointestinalTract

22.4 Mechanism ofHormone Action

The endocrine glands and hormoneproducing diffused tissues/cells locatedin different parts of our body constitutethe endocrine system. Pituitary, pineal,thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, parathyroid,thymus and gonads (testis in males andovary in females) are the organisedendocrine bodies in our body(Figure 22.1). In addition to these, someother organs, e.g., gastrointestinal tract,liver, kidney, heart also producehormones. A brief account of thestructure and functions of all majorendocrine glands and hypothalamus ofthe human body is given in the followingsections.

22.2.1 The Hypothalamus

As you know, the hypothalamus is thebasal part of diencephalon, forebrain(Figure 22.1) and it regulates a widespectrum of body functions. It containsseveral groups of neurosecretory cellscalled nuclei which produce hormones.These hormones regulate the synthesisand secretion of pituitary hormones. However, the hormones producedby hypothalamus are of two types, the releasing hormones (whichstimulate secretion of pituitary hormones) and the inhibiting hormones(which inhibit secretions of pituitary hormones). For example ahypothalamic hormone called Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH)stimulates the pituitary synthesis and release of gonadotrophins. On theother hand, somatostatin from the hypothalamus inhibits the release ofgrowth hormone from the pituitary. These hormones originating in thehypothlamic neurons, pass through axons and are released from theirnerve endings. These hormones reach the pituitary gland through a portalcirculatory system and regulate the functions of the anterior pituitary.The posterior pituitary is under the direct neural regulation of thehypothalamus (Figure 22.2).

Thyroid andParathyroid

22.2.2 The Pituitary Gland

The pituitary gland is located in a bony cavitycalled sella tursica and is attached tohypothalamus by a stalk (Figure 22.2). It isdivided anatomically into an adenohypophysisand a neurohypophysis. Adenohypophysisconsists of two portions, pars distalis and parsintermedia. The pars distalis region of pituitary,commonly called anterior pituitary, producesgrowth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL),thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH),luteinizing hormone (LH) and folliclestimulating hormone (FSH). Pars intermediasecretes only one hormone called melanocytestimulating hormone (MSH). However, inhumans, the pars intermedia is almost mergedwith pars distalis. Neurohypophysis (parsnervosa) also known as posterior pituitary,stores and releases two hormones calledoxytocin and vasopressin, which are actually

synthesised by the hypothalamus and are transported axonally toneurohypophysis.

Over-secretion of GH stimulates abnormal growth of the body leadingto gigantism and low secretion of GH results in stunted growth resultingin pituitary dwarfism. Prolactin regulates the growth of the mammaryglands and formation of milk in them. TSH stimulates the synthesis andsecretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland. ACTH stimulatesthe synthesis and secretion of steroid hormones called glucocorticoidsfrom the adrenal cortex. LH and FSH stimulate gonadal activity and henceare called gonadotrophins. In males, LH stimulates the synthesis andsecretion of hormones called androgens from testis. In males, FSH andandrogens regulate spermatogenesis. In females, LH induces ovulationof fully mature follicles (graafian follicles) and maintains the corpusluteum, formed from the remnants of the graafian follicles after ovulation.FSH stimulates growth and development of the ovarian follicles in females.MSH acts on the melanocytes (melanin containing cells) and regulatespigmentation of the skin. Oxytocin acts on the smooth muscles of ourbody and stimulates their contraction. In females, it stimulates a vigorouscontraction of uterus at the time of child birth, and milk ejection from themammary gland. Vasopressin acts mainly at the kidney and stimulates

resorption of water and electrolytes by the distal tubulesand thereby reduces loss of water through urine(diuresis). Hence, it is also called as anti-diuretichormone (ADH).

22.2.3 The Pineal Gland

The pineal gland is located on the dorsal side offorebrain. Pineal secretes a hormone called melatonin.Melatonin plays a very important role in the regulationof a 24-hour (diurnal) rhythm of our body. Forexample, it helps in maintaining the normal rhythmsof sleep-wake cycle, body temperature. In addition,melatonin also influences metabolism, pigmentation,the menstrual cycle as well as our defense capability.

22.2.4 Thyroid Gland

The thyroid gland is composed of two lobes which arelocated on either side of the trachea (Figure 22.3). Boththe lobes are interconnected with a thin flap of connectivetissue called isthmus. The thyroid gland is composedof follicles and stromal tissues. Each thyroid follicleis composed of follicular cells, enclosing a cavity. Thesefollicular cells synthesise two hormones,tetraiodothyronine or thyroxine (T4) andtriiodothyronine (T

3). Iodine is essential for the

normal rate of hormone synthesis in the thyroid.Deficiency of iodine in our diet results inhypothyroidism and enlargement of the thyroid gland,commonly called goitre. Hypothyroidism duringpregnancy causes defective development andmaturation of the growing baby leading to stuntedgrowth (cretinism), mental retardation, low intelligencequotient, abnormal skin, deaf-mutism, etc. In adultwomen, hypothyroidism may cause menstrual cycleto become irregular. Due to cancer of the thyroid glandor due to development of nodules of the thyroid glands,the rate of synthesis and secretion of the thyroidhormones is increased to abnormal high levels leadingto a condition called hyperthyroidism which adverselyaffects the body physiology.

Figure 22.3 Diagrammatic view of theposition of Thyroid andParathyroid(a) Dorsal side(b) Ventral side

Thyroid hormones play an important role in the regulation of the basalmetabolic rate. These hormones also support the process of red bloodcell formation. Thyroid hormones control the metabolism of carbohydrates,proteins and fats. Maintenance of water and electrolyte balance is alsoinfluenced by thyroid hormones. Thyroid gland also secretes a proteinhormone called thyrocalcitonin (TCT) which regulates the blood calciumlevels.

22.2.5 Parathyroid Gland

In humans, four parathyroid glands are present on the back side of thethyroid gland, one pair each in the two lobes of the thyroid gland (Figure22.3b). The parathyroid glands secrete a peptide hormone calledparathyroid hormone (PTH). The secretion of PTH is regulated by thecirculating levels of calcium ions.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases the Ca2+ levels in the blood. PTHacts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption (dissolution/demineralisation). PTH also stimulates reabsorption of Ca2+ by the renaltubules and increases Ca2+ absorption from the digested food. It is, thus,clear that PTH is a hypercalcemic hormone, i.e., it increases the bloodCa2+ levels. Along with TCT, it plays a significant role in calcium balancein the body.

22.2.6 Thymus

The thymus gland is a lobular structure located on the dorsal side of theheart and the aorta. The thymus plays a major role in the development ofthe immune system. This gland secretes the peptide hormones calledthymosins. Thymosins play a major role in the differentiation of T-lymphocytes, which provide cell-mediated immunity. In addition,thymosins also promote production of antibodies to provide humoralimmunity. Thymus is degenerated in old individuals resulting in adecreased production

Rate of RNA decay could be a key to breakdown in communication between neurons

By Chris Chipello, McGill Reporter

McGill University researchers have discovered a cellular mechanism that may contribute to the breakdown of communication between neurons in Alzheimer’s disease.

Their study, published in Nature Communications, homes in on the role of RNA molecules involved in synaptic transmission –- the process through which neurons communicate with each other. In the brain tissue of Alzheimer’s patients, the RNAs that encode synaptic proteins are degraded more rapidly than in healthy brain cells, the researchers found. They also discovered that a protein that helps stabilize these RNAs was less abundant in the neurons of Alzheimer’s patients.

Taken together, these findings indicate that inadequate levels of the protein, known as RBFOX1, may be a factor in the faulty connections that are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, says Hamed S. Najafabadi, senior author of the paper and an assistant professor in McGill’s Department of Human Genetics.

A new piece of the puzzle

Although Alzheimer’s is by far the most common form of dementia, its underlying mechanisms aren’t fully understood, and there are currently no treatments to stop its progression. The McGill study reveals a new piece of the puzzle, which could provide leads for new therapeutic approaches.

Human cells produce thousands of different types of RNAs to carry genetic information. RNAs also decay constantly, and the balance between production and degradation determines how much of a given RNA is present in the cell. Yet scientists know relatively little about how RNA decay is controlled, largely because methods of measuring degradation have been expensive and not applicable to human tissues.

Previous research by Najafabadi had shown that RNA degradation is involved in different human diseases. Most of those findings came from studies in cell line models of diseases, however. “We wanted to directly measure the RNA degradation rate in human tissues, but available methods weren’t able to do that,” Najafabadi explains. So his team hit on a way to get around that problem. “We realized that by modeling the process of RNA production and decay, we could devise a mathematical method to calculate RNA degradation using existing genomics technologies.”

Measuring RNA decay

To test their new approach, the McGill researchers enlisted the help of scientists at the University of California, San Francisco. The California team, led by Hani Goodarzi, grew cells in a lab, and measured the rate of RNA degradation using a conventional method. At the same time, the McGill researchers estimated the rate using their mathematical method. The two results matched up, validating the mathematical framework.

Najafabadi and McGill graduate student Rached Alkallas then applied the mathematical method to analyze publicly available data on the brain tissues of people who died from Alzheimer’s. They also analyzed brain tissues from people who didn’t suffer from Alzheimer’s. Comparing those two groups revealed the rapid rate of RNA degradation and short supply of RBFOX1 protein in the Alzheimer’s patients.

“There’s still a lot to learn about the role of RNA degradation in Alzheimer’s and other diseases,” Najafabadi says. “For example, why is there a reduction of RBFOX1 in Alzheimer’s? Is the reduced amount of this protein a risk factor, or a feature of the later stages of the disease? And can we restore at least part of the normal function of the neurons by controlling the activity of RBFOX1?”

Funding for this work was provided by the McGill University Faculty of Medicine and the National Cancer Institute (U.S.).

“Inference of RNA decay rate from transcriptional profiling highlights the regulatory programs of Alzheimer’s disease,” Rached Alkallas et al., Nature Communications, published online Oct. 13, 2017.

Ava Security launches new cloud-connected security camera

By Catherine Knowles, Fri 3 Dec 2021

Ava Security has launched Ava Bullet, a cloud-connected security camera that uses AI, machine learning and acoustic analytics.

It is designed to help users detect anomalies in real time and receive proactive incident notifications.

Built with high-quality materials to withstand vandalism and harsh weather conditions, the camera is built for securing locations across long distances such as airports, streets, car parks, public transport stations, schools, university campuses and workplaces.

Ava Security CEO and co-founder Tormod Ree says, “We are excited to introduce the Ava Bullet, which adds to our world-class portfolio of cloud-native cameras.

"Sophisticated in function and designed for adverse conditions, the Bullet is also dead simple to install. A sliding body makes the physical installation easier than anything else on the market.

"Scanning a QR code connects the Bullet to the Ava Aware Cloud, delivering powerful cloud-native video management and up-to-date features. Our customers are going to love this camera, and we cannot wait to begin shipping it.”

Common challenges with traditional video solutions include difficult installation, storage constraints, expensive on-prem servers, and security vulnerabilities.

Ava Bullet is designed to overcome these challenges through a simple, secure plug-and-play configuration, instant cloud connectivity, and on-board and cloud storage.

The camera's software evolves over time with software delivered from the cloud. To withstand cyber security vulnerabilities, Ava Bullet is equipped with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to provide a secure encryption key storage for each camera.

 Ava Bullet will be available in wide or tele lenses, up to 4K (8MP) image sensor, IR illumination and an optical zoom which enables users to capture high-quality images so they can identify events over long distances and in adverse conditions, such as low light conditions or complete darkness.

The built-in video and audio analytics in the Ava Bullet security camera can also detect and identify specific sound patterns, such as gunshots, breaking glass, or smoke alarms, and determine their direction.

Ava Security head of video engineering and co-founder Sam Lancia says, “Video is increasingly critical to the security and safety of airports, cities, and workplaces around the globe, which is why it's more important than ever to optimise these cameras. An overwhelming challenge is the amount of time and manpower that must be devoted to analysing video footage.

"Which is why through our cloud solution we have preserved all the forensic details customers might need to detect threats without the additional burden of storing large volumes of footage. Instead, users have the relevant insights where and when they need it, to execute appropriate action.”

By onboarding Bullet to the Aware Cloud, customers will have access to an open data platform, which includes connections to sensors, access control solutions, dashboards and other systems that unlock advanced business intelligence and analytics across the broader security ecosystem.

The Ava Bullet will be available for pre-order this month, and will start shipping in Q1.
