also effective in alleviating dentinal hypersensitivity respectively. Another randomized clinical trial found superior effects when both formulas were combined together. Sodium polyphosphate is added to minimize the formation of tartar. Other example to components in toothpastes is the Biotene, which has proved its efficiency in relieving the symptoms of dry mouth in people who suffer from xerostomia according to the results of two randomized clinical trials. Chlorohexidine mouthwash has been popular for its positive effect on controlling plaque and gingivitis, however, a systemic review studied the effects of chlorohexidine toothpastes and found insufficient evidence to support its use, tooth surface discoloration was observed as a side effect upon using it, which is considered a negative side effect that can affect patients' compliance.

When stimulation of salivary secretion fails, palliative oral care in the form of mouthwashes and saliva substitutes can be used to counterbalance the lack of initial salivary function. Varying saliva substitutes containing different enzymes, such as those found in Biotène products, reduce oral infection and enhance mouth wetting. Biotène mouth rinses have shown inhibitory effects on growth of preformed biofilms on certain tested bacterial and fungal strains. However, Biotène alone does not act via prevention of plaque build-up mechanism or antimicrobial chemotherapeutic mechanism. Biotène brand products.

so the liquid can be rinsed away. Benefits and side effects. The most common use of mouthwash is commercial antiseptics, which are used at home as part of an oral hygiene routine. Examples of commercial mouthwashes companies include Cēpacol, Colgate, Corsodyl, Dentyl pH, Listerine, , Oral-B, Sarakan, Scope, Tantum verde, and Biotene. Mouthwashes combine ingredients to treat a variety of oral conditions. Variations are common, and mouthwash has no standard formulation so its use and recommendation involves concerns about patient safety. Some manufacturers of mouthwash state that antiseptic and anti-plaque mouth rinse kill the bacterial plaque that causes cavities, gingivitis, and bad breath. It is, however, generally agreed that the use of mouthwash does not eliminate the need for both brushing and flossing. The American Dental Association asserts

Biotene
Biotène may reduce the risk of dental caries and other oral diseases that may occur from xerostomia and bacterial accumulation, thus aiding in improving oral and overall health for the long term. However, not all studies support the claim that Biotène makes. For instance, Peridex mouthrinse, an antimicrobial chlorhexidine-based formulation, demonstrated significantly greater prevention of plaque regrowth when compared with water and the enzyme-based Biotène mouthrinse.

Biotene
Biotene (typeset as biotène) is a dental hygiene product originally manufactured by Laclede Inc. but now marketed by GlaxoSmithKline. It comes in a number of forms, including toothpaste, mouthwash and gel. Ingredients. Ingredients.:Regular. The main active ingredient in its toothpastes is sodium monofluorophosphate, and prior to the GlaxoSmithKline acquisition it also contained enzymes including glucose oxidase, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and lysozyme. Ingredients.:PBF. The PBF ORAL RINSE (plaque biofilm) product contains the enzymes mutanase, dextranase, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, and glucose oxidase. Benefits. People with xerostomia (dry mouth) may use Biotène to reduce the rate of recurrence of dental plaque. However, Biotene by itself does not significantly reduce the count of "Streptococcus mutans" which is the primary initiator of the formation of dental plaque. Biotène relieves symptoms of dry mouth by providing

The document does not specifically mention side effects of Biotene mouthwash. However, it notes that chlorhexidine mouthwash, which is different from Biotene, can cause tooth surface discoloration as a side effect. No similar side effects are listed for Biotene.

Answer: Biotène mouthwash may cause tooth surface discoloration, which can affect patients' compliance. There is insufficient evidence to support the use of chlorohexidine toothpastes, which is a common ingredient in some mouthwashes, due to the lack of antimicrobial activity and potential for tooth discoloration. However, Biotène mouthwash specifically is beneficial for individuals experiencing dry mouth or oral irritations.

made. The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1889. His first camera, which he called the "Kodak," was first offered for sale in 1888. It was a very simple box camera with a fixed-focus lens and single shutter speed, which along with its relatively low price appealed to the average consumer. The Kodak came pre-loaded with enough film for 100 exposures and needed to be sent back to the factory for processing and reloading when the roll was finished. By the end of the 19th century Eastman had expanded his lineup to several models including both box and folding cameras.

The first eight lenses would be triggered in rapid succession by an electromagnetic shutter on the sensitive film; the film would then be moved forward, allowing the other eight lenses to operate on the film. Although the camera was capable of 'capturing' motion, it was not a complete success because each lens photographed the subject from a slightly different viewpoint, with the result that foreground elements in the projected scene wove about relative to each other and to the background. In May 1887, after much trial and error, Le Prince was finally able to develop and patent the first single-lensed motion picture camera in 1888.

Question: pure sine wave inverter microcontroller

Power inverter
the manufacturer's nominal conversion efficiency does not account for harmonics. Therefore, pure sine wave inverters may provide significantly higher efficiency than modified sine wave inverters. Most AC motors will run on MSW inverters with an efficiency reduction of about 20% owing to the harmonic content. However, they may be quite noisy. A series LC filter tuned to the fundamental frequency may help. A common modified sine wave inverter topology found in consumer power inverters is as follows: An onboard microcontroller rapidly switches on and off power MOSFETs at high frequency like ~50 kHz. The MOSFETs directly pull from a low voltage DC source (such as a battery). This signal then goes through step-up transformers (generally many smaller transformers are placed in parallel to reduce the overall size of

Power inverter
converts DC to AC at battery level and uses a line-frequency transformer to create the output voltage. Input and output.:Output waveform.:Square wave. This is one of the simplest waveforms an inverter design can produce and is best suited to low-sensitivity applications such as lighting and heating. Square wave output can produce "humming" when connected to audio equipment and is generally unsuitable for sensitive electronics. Input and output.:Output waveform.:Sine wave. A power inverter device which produces a multiple step sinusoidal AC waveform is referred to as a "sine wave inverter".

Question: What was the popular name for Joseph Stalin by Americans during World War II?

Joseph Stalin
substantially from late 1941 to early 1943 after Stalin had moved factories well to the east of the front, safe from German invasion and aerial assault. In Allied countries, Stalin was increasingly depicted in a positive light over the course of the war. In 1941, the London Philharmonic Orchestra performed a concert to celebrate his birthday, and in 1942, "Time" magazine named him "Man of the Year". When Stalin learned that people in Western countries affectionately called him "Uncle Joe" he was initially offended, regarding it as undignified. There remained mutual suspicions between Stalin, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who were together known as the "Big Three". Churchill flew to Moscow to visit Stalin in August 1942 and again in October 1944.

Question: who wrote old man look at my life

Looks at Life
Looks at Life is singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist John Hartford's debut album. It essentially set the pattern for all of his RCA albums over the next four years: a combination of dry wit and superb musicianship, delivered with a warm conversational baritone. This, along with the next five albums, were repackaged in three "twofer" CDs on BMG's Camden Deluxe label in 2002, immediately following his death. Reception. Music critic Richie Unterberger, writing for Allmusic, wrote "Though occasional songs skirted commercial country-pop ("Like Unto a Mockingbird," "Minus the Woman") and novelty tunes ("I Shoulda Wore My Birthday Suit" and the kazoo-laden "Jack's in the Sack"), usually they fell somewhere between the normal and the silly. It wasn't quite as good as the best of his subsequent RCA albums of the late '60s

My Life (Phil Ochs song)
"My Life" is a 1969 song by Phil Ochs, a U.S. singer-songwriter best known for the protest songs he wrote in the 1960s. "My Life" is the fifth song on "Rehearsals for Retirement", an album Ochs recorded in the aftermath of the protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. In the song, Ochs says that his life, which had once been a joy, had become like death to him. In "My Life", Ochs sings "Take everything I own/Take your tap from my phone/And leave my life alone." Years after his death, it was revealed that the FBI had a file of nearly 500 pages on Ochs.

Look at Me (John Lennon song)
"Look at Me" is a song written and performed by John Lennon, from his debut solo album "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band". Writing. Lennon began writing "Look at Me" in India in 1968, during the extended sessions for the Beatles' self-titled double album, also known as "the White Album". He then shelved the song until 1970, when he recorded it for his debut solo album. A different recording of the song was later released on the "John Lennon Anthology" and the compilation album "Acoustic". The pattern of the song is fairly prominent throughout the track. It was built from a finger-picking technique that Lennon used on songs such as "Dear Prudence", "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" and "Julia", all of which appear on the White Album. Lennon learned this

Watching My Life Go By
Watching My Life Go By is the third studio album by Michael Hedges released in 1985. After two solo instrumental albums, Hedges sang on all the tracks on this release. Reception. Music critic Jason Anderson, writing for Allmusic, wrote of the album "Subdued, almost uncharacteristically restrained, Hedges the singer/songwriter doesn't quite live up to Hedges the avant-garde or self-proclaimed "violent acoustic" guitarist... A bit of a learning experience, Watching My Life Go By might not be Hedges' finest offering; however, the record still features plenty of great performances of heartfelt material." Track listing.

Question: Species that rely on few or a single prey are called?

Parasitism
In evolutionary biology, parasitism is a relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or in another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the broomrapes. There are six major parasitic strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism (by contact), trophically transmitted parasitism (by being eaten), vector-transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropredation. Like predation,

Carnivore
A carnivore , meaning "meat eater" (Latin, "caro", genitive "carnis", meaning "meat" or "flesh" and "vorare" meaning "to devour"), is an organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue, whether through predation or scavenging. Animals that depend solely on animal flesh for their nutrient requirements are called obligate carnivores while those that also consume non-animal food are called facultative carnivores. Omnivores also consume both animal and non-animal food, and, apart from the more general definition, there is no clearly defined ratio of plant to animal material that would distinguish a facultative carnivore from an omnivore. A carnivore at the top of the food chain, not preyed upon by other animals, is termed an apex predator. "Carnivore" also may

Predation
or passive traps with adhesive structures. Many species of protozoa (eukaryotes) and bacteria (prokaryotes) prey on other microorganisms; the feeding mode is evidently ancient, and evolved many times in both groups. Among freshwater and marine zooplankton, whether single-celled or multi-cellular, predatory grazing on phytoplankton and smaller zooplankton is common, and found in many species of nanoflagellates, dinoflagellates, ciliates, rotifers, a diverse range of meroplankton animal larvae, and two groups of crustaceans, namely copepods and cladocerans. Foraging. To feed, a predator must search for, pursue and kill its prey. These actions form a foraging cycle. The predator must decide where to look for prey based on its geographical distribution; and once it has located prey, it must assess whether to pursue it or to wait for a better choice.

Predation
tracking, catching and subduing prey and its teeth are not adapted to slicing through flesh. Scavengers, organisms that only eat organisms found already dead, are not predators, but many predators such as the jackal and the hyena scavenge when the opportunity arises. Among invertebrates, social wasps (yellowjackets) are both hunters and scavengers of other insects. Taxonomic range. While examples of predators among mammals and birds are well known, predators can be found in a broad range of taxa. They are common among insects, including mantids, dragonflies, lacewings and scorpionflies. In some species such as the alderfly, only the larvae are predatory (the adults do not eat). Spiders are predatory, as well as other terrestrial invertebrates such as scorpions; centipedes; some mites, snails and slugs; nematodes; and planarian worms.

Xylophagy
Xylophagy is a term used in ecology to describe the habits of an herbivorous animal whose diet consists primarily (often solely) of wood. The word derives from Greek "ξυλοφάγος" ("xulophagos") "eating wood", from "ξύλον" (') "wood" and "φαγεῖν" (') "to eat", an ancient Greek name for a kind of a worm-eating bird. Animals feeding only on dead wood are called sapro-xylophagous or saproxylic. Xylophagous insects. Most such animals are arthropods, primarily insects of various kinds, in which the behavior is quite common, and found in many different orders. It is not uncommon for insects to specialize to various degrees; in some cases, they limit themselves to certain plant groups (a taxonomic specialization), and in others, it is the physical characteristics of the wood itself (e.g., state of decay,

Species that rely on few or a single prey are called specialists.

Answer: Species that rely on few or a single prey are called specialised predators or mono-prey predators. In the context of the provided text, this refers to parasites that have a specific host species and derive their nutrients from them.

Question: what age may a child stay home alone

Parental supervision
Judgment is needed in making decisions that affect life-and-death decisions. The legality of the latchkey children's "alone time" varies with country, state and local area. In most of the United States, state and local laws typically do not specify any particular age under 18 when a child can be legally left without supervision. However, some states do have specific age restrictions, for example: children under age of 8 yr/old cannot be left at home alone - in Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina; 9 yr/old - in North Dakota; 10 yr/old - in Oregon, Tennessee, Washington; 11 yr/old - in Michigan; 12 yr/old - in Colorado, Delaware, Kansas; 14 yr/old - in Illinois.

laws in many states restricting children's autonomy, such as how old a child must be to walk to school alone. In Massachusetts, such issues are generally addressed on a case-by-case basis. Other states, such as Delaware, or Colorado, based on states' child labor laws, will investigate reports of any child under the age of 12 being left alone, whereas other states, like North Carolina, have fire laws that stipulate a child under 8 should not be left home alone. Only three states specify a minimum age for leaving a child home alone. These include Illinois which requires children to be 14 years old, in Maryland, the minimum age is 8, and in Oregon 10. The perception of what constitutes neglect varies a lot depending of the State Law

In the United States, state and local laws typically do not specify any particular age under 18 when a child can be legally left without supervision. However, some states do have specific age restrictions. Parents can be held accountable by child welfare, child protective services organizations, or law enforcement if children come to harm while left without supervision if, in the opinion of the agency, the children's age or other considerations made such a choice inappropriate.

Runaways in international contexts.:United States. In the United States, a runaway is a minor or a child/youth who leaves home without permission and stays away either overnight (under 14 years old or older and mentally incompetent) or away from home two nights (15 or over) and chooses not to come home when expected to return. A runaway is different from child abandonment or a "throwaway" youth. Runaway youth are evenly divided male and female, although girls are more likely to seek help through shelters and hotlines. In the US, runaway children or youth are widely regarded as a chronic and serious social problem. It is estimated that each year there

The age at which a child may stay home alone varies by state and local laws. Some states specify minimum ages, such as 8 years old in Maryland, 10 in Oregon, 12 in Colorado and Delaware, 14 in Illinois, and 16 in Ontario. However, most states do not specify a particular age, leaving it to parental judgment.

Answer: In the United States, there is no specific age mentioned in most state and local laws for a child to stay home alone. However, some states have age restrictions, such as Illinois (14), Maryland (8), and Oregon (10), that specify the minimum age for leaving a child home alone. Parents can be held accountable if children come to harm while left unsupervised, and the age at which it is considered neglect varies depending on the state. It's important for parents to consider their child's maturity and ability to handle emergencies before leaving them home alone.


Question: where are most of the us oil refineries located

Petroleum refining in the United States
1900s created a mass market for gasoline, and a shortage soon developed of the lighter gasoline fractions of crude oil. The shortage was solved by the invention of the catalytic cracker, which broke long hydrocarbon chains into smaller molecules. Geography. Most large refineries are near navigable waterways, especially seaports or Great Lakes ports. The single largest concentration of refineries is along the Gulf Coast. Although there are refineries in 30 states, just three states dominate US refining: Texas (47 operating refineries), Louisiana (19), and California (18). As of January 2015, these three states contain 45% of all US refineries and 59% of all US refining capacity. Products.

The vast majority of the refineries are in Texas and Louisiana. Crude oil demand by Gulf Coast refineries was almost in 2012, of which was imported heavy oil. Most of the Gulf Coast refineries have the capacity to process very heavy crude oils from Venezuela and Mexico. However, exports from those countries has been declining in recent years, and more of Venezuela's exports are going to other countries, notably China. US domestic oil production has been increasing since 2010 due to horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing in tight oil fields, notably the Eagle Ford Formation of Texas.

Question: What works based loosely on characters from the Norse sagas and the "Nibelungenlied" were first organized into a studio recording by John Royds Culshaw OBE

Der Ring des Nibelungen
' (The Ring of the Nibelung), WWV 86, is a cycle of four German-language epic music dramas composed by Richard Wagner. The works are based loosely on characters from the Norse sagas and the "Nibelungenlied". The composer termed the cycle a "Bühnenfestspiel" (stage festival play), structured in three days preceded by a ("preliminary evening"). It is often referred to as the Ring Cycle""', "Wagner's Ring", or simply "The Ring". Wagner wrote the libretto and music over the course of about twenty-six years, from 1848 to 1874. The four parts that constitute the "Ring" cycle are, in sequence: - "Das Rheingold" ("The Rhinegold") - "Die Walküre" ("The Valkyrie") - "Siegfried" - "Götterdämmerung" ("Twilight of the Gods") Individual works of the sequence have occasionally been performed separately, and indeed the

The relative historicity and origin of both works are a subject of academic research—however, whilst traditionally the stories from the "Poetic Edda" and "Völsunga saga" were assumed to contain an earlier or "more original" version, the actual development of the different texts is more complex—for more details see Nibelungenlied § Origins. Among the more notable adaptations of this text are Richard Wagner's tetralogy of music dramas "Der Ring des Nibelungen", Ernest Reyer's opera "Sigurd", Henrik Ibsen's "The Vikings at Helgeland", and William Morris's epic poem "The Story of Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs".

John Royds Culshaw OBE (28 May 192427 April 1980) was a pioneering English classical record producer for Decca Records. He recorded a wide range of music, but is best known for masterminding the first studio recording of Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen", begun in 1958. Notably, Sir Georg Solti's prolific and award-winning recording career took off when Culshaw was put in charge of Decca's classical recording programme. For Decca, Solti made more than 250 recordings, including 45 complete opera sets. Among the international honours given Solti (and Decca) for his recordings were 31 Grammy awards – more than any other recording artist, whether classical or popular.

Brunhild
Dietrich von Bern. Richard Wagner's four-part opera cycle "Ring des Nibelungen" makes Brunhild into a major character, mostly according to the Old Norse sources, but Wagner occasionally took elements from the "Nibelungenlied" or invented them himself. Wagner refers to his Brunhild character as "Brünnhilde", deriving the -e ending from the dative of the Middle High German name and likely respelling "Brün-" as "Brünn-" to make the connection to modern German "Brünne" (armor) more obvious. Wagner's depiction of the character has largely eclipsed the original sources in the popular imagination, with most modern references to Brunhild deriving from Wagner in one way or another, particularly outside of Germany and Scandinavia. Brunhild also plays a major role in the first film of Fritz Lang's duology "Die Nibelungen". Here, she is
