The nervous system is comprised of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors. It receives information from the senses and controls and coordinates the functions of the body. The basic unit of the nervous system is the neuron, which carries messages related to responses from environmental changes. A neuron consists of a cell body, axon, and dendrites. The cell body contains the nucleus. The axon transmits signals and can be covered by a myelin sheath for insulation. Dendrites receive signals and branch off the cell body. There are three main types of neurons: sensory neurons that convey signals from receptors to the nervous system, motor neurons that transmit signals from the nervous system to muscles or glands, and association neurons
Today's payments landscape is incredibly complex. Pazien's co-founder and CEO led a presentation at Rethink 2015 in Barcelona about the challenges faced today and the innovations we can invest in for the future of fintech.

This document provides a comprehensive overview and categorization of feature selection methods for machine learning classification problems. It identifies the four main steps in typical feature selection methods: generation procedure, evaluation function, stopping criterion, and validation procedure. Generation procedures are categorized as complete, heuristic, or random. Evaluation functions are categorized as distance measures, information measures, dependence measures, consistency measures, or classifier error rates. The document then surveys 32 existing feature selection methods and categorizes them based on the type of generation procedure and evaluation function used. It provides representative examples and discusses strengths and weaknesses of different approaches.
This review discusses light-activated conjugated polymers and their potential use in combating cancer. Certain water-soluble conjugated polymers like polythiophene are effective against tumor cells as therapeutic agents and optical imaging markers. They produce reactive oxygen species that promote apoptosis in tumor cells through oxidative stress when exposed to fluorescent light. Frequency resonance energy transfers are used to more efficiently produce reactive oxygen species from the polymers. Polymers like polythiophene and its derivative PTPF show selective anticancer activity against specific tumor cells and low toxicity towards healthy tissue. They can be used to optically image cancer treatment and distinguish between living and dead cells.
This document provides guidelines on the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for patients with acute respiratory failure due to COPD. It recommends NIV for COPD patients with respiratory acidosis to reduce intubation rates and mortality by around 50%. Key inclusion criteria are a pH below 7.35 and PCO2 over 45mmHg after one hour of standard treatments. Exclusion criteria include inability to protect the airway or excessive secretions. Initial NIV settings of IPAP 10cm H2O and EPAP 4-5cm H2O are recommended, titrating IPAP up to achieve effects. Patients should be closely monitored and escalated to intubation within 4 hours if NIV is not effective. N
This document lists precious metals like gold, silver, platinum and palladium. It then discusses carbon-graphite and how it is available as an extremely fine powder that can be used in pastes, adhesives, paint and ink. The carbon-graphite powder also has applications as an ink regulator, in printers, control devices and drying processes.

This document discusses strategies for communicating about agricultural biotechnology and genetically engineered crops. It begins by outlining common concerns people express about farming practices and corporate control of the food system. It then explains that the reality is our food supply is the safest and most abundant in history due to technologies like genetic engineering. The document provides tips for effective communication, such as starting discussions by emphasizing shared values like feeding the hungry and protecting the environment. It also recommends focusing on scientific facts and personal stories to build trust. Examples are given of genetically engineered crops that could help farmers and consumers but face opposition, like golden rice which could reduce vitamin A deficiency. The document concludes by discussing the promise of new technologies like gene editing.
This document contains a class 12 exam date sheet from CBSE with the exam subjects and dates listed from March 11 to April 30. It also contains some last-minute study tips advising students to prepare properly by making a study plan, bringing needed supplies, staying positive and giving their best effort.
This document discusses nutrition guidelines for exercise and sport. It covers nutrient needs for active individuals, including dietary reference intakes and recommendations for carbohydrate, protein, fat, fluid and pre-workout meal intake. Guidelines are provided for different types of sports and phases of training, including carbohydrate loading. The needs for weight gain and muscle building are also outlined. Nutrient timing for resistance training is discussed.
Powder Metallurgy or PM is a process of producing components or materials from powders made of metal. Different geometries can be obtained by this process. This may also include non metal powders. PM or Powder Metallurgy reduces the metal removal process to obtain a desired structure, reduces yield loss while manufacturing and cut down cost.

The document provides an overview of the manufacturing process for standard ceramic tiles at a factory located in Gazipur, Bangladesh. It describes the key steps which include obtaining raw materials like clay and talc, grinding and mixing the materials to form a powder, shaping the powder through dry pressing, glazing and coloring/designing, firing to harden the tiles, finishing, sorting, and final packaging. The factory uses lean manufacturing principles to reduce waste and costs and continuously improve product quality.
