Mono Lake 1. Mono Lake Mono Lake is a unique body of water lying in the Eastern Sierra Nevadas. For decades its water sources were tapped by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) to use for farming because the lake's high elevation would allow them to easily transport the water to the city and because the water was so saline, people believed it was worthless. The normal traits by which people judge lakes were lacking in Mono: fish could not survive in the salty water, the water
The Effects of Mono Lake's Hydrology on its Ecosystem Situated at the foothills of the Eastern Sierra Nevada, Mono Lake has an unusual and unique hydrology that is highly influential in shaping the water chemistry (specifically the water's salinity and alkalinity) and biological life that survives there. Mono Lake is a hypersaline, highly alkaline, hydrographically closed basin in which the only natural means of water export is through evaporation. The basin itself was carved out by faulting
Life After Mono Merriam-Webster defines mononucleosis as: "an acute infectious disease associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and characterized by fever, swelling of lymph nodes, and lymphocytosis."1 It is more commonly called "mono," or "the kissing disease." When I was thirteen, I caught this dreaded disease, and it changed the ways I acted around my friends forever. Before I got sick, I never paid attention to my actions. If I was thirsty, I asked any friend for a sip of his/her drink
different types of cones, each responsible for a different primary color. The absence of particular cones causes the absence of particular colors. This can be one cause of color blindness. There are four types of color blindness. The rarest forms are mono-chromatism and a-typical monochromatism. People with monochromatic vision, or total color blindness, has no cones at all. As a result, they have no ability to see colors, and no hue discrimi-nation whatsoever. Monochromatic vision is very similar to
defects (7). Mono, short for mononucleosis (3) "gets its name from the fact that it causes a person's white blood cells to become distorted, so that they have only one nucleus (becoming mononuclear) instead of the usual divided nucleus.'; (3) The first accounts of mono are credited to Filatov and Pfeiffer who around the end of the nineteenth century described and illness known as Drusenfieber or glandular fever which occurred in family outbreaks. However, the establishment of mono is given to Sprunt
all depend on the individual. The more common symptoms are fatigue, sore throat, swelling of the lymph nodes and malaise. There is usually a change in the white cells and serum of the blood, but it can only be detected by a special test, known as the Mono Spot or the heterophile test. It is possible that the results of the test remain negative until a few weeks have passed after seeing some symptoms. It is very rare that the test results remain negative through out the duration of the disease. There
miles per hour. So this is it. My walk down the plank began as I slowly arrived at the teeth of the beast: the entrance gates. I was sure to remind my brother and sister that I loved them dearly in the chance that I would lose my mind after going mono y mono with the giant coaster. The first of my senses were exercised as my mouth dried up as though I had just swallowed a truckload of sand. My throat quickly shrank to the point where a thread would be a close fit through my esophagus. For the first
Asymmetric Epoxidation of Dihydronaphthalene with a Synthesized Jacobsen's Catalyst Abstract. 1,2 diaminocyclohexane was reacted with L-(+)-tartaric acid to yield (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane mono-(+)-tartrate salt. The tartrate salt was then reacted with potassium carbonate and 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde to yield (R,R)-N,N'-Bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine, which was then reacted with Mn(OAc)2*4H2O and LiCl to form Jacobsen's catalyst. The synthesized
Over the years I have observed Mono Lake in the Eastern Sierra from every shore in every kind of weather-from the mirror calm of a bright orange sunrise to the violent churning foam of a turbulent, green sea. And always, the choking alkaline dust blows on the east side of the lake creating great clouds of toxic dust. Mono Lake is ever changing and provides a lot of life from such an ancient dead sea. Paiute people harvested the high protein fly larvae that were wind driven onto the shore in great
the earth's surface so that the ceiling of the chamber imploded, forming what is now known as the Long Valley caldera. The caldera is at the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, about 50 km northwest of the town of Bishop, and 30 km south of Mono Lake (Bailey, 1976). The ejecta from the eruption moved over land and through the air: the ash that fired out of the volcano was blown as far east as Nebraska in a huge, dark cloud of plinian ash. A nuee ardente billowed over the rim of the volcano
Deborah Tall's From Where We Stand In her book, From Where We Stand, Deborah Tall, tells us the story of coming to Geneva, New York, to begin teaching. It is a personal account of coming to terms with a new and foreign place. It gives us the chance of watching her learn about landscapes, people, and history. It moves through time, through her own life, and especially through motherhood. In the end, and after more than a decade, she gives us the signs of what it means to live out of and within
Determining how the salt levels change as you get further away from the Great Salt Lake *I did get permission to get samples from the Great Salt Lake. I only got 4 ounces of each 5 samples. So, I only took 20 ounces total Background of the Great Salt Lake The great Salt Lake has about 4.5 to 4.9 billion tons. The reason why the Great Salt Lake is so salty is because it doesn’t have an outlet attach to it. Since it as so much salt, it cannot support fish and most of the aquatic specie, but there
A. The mono-causal model of disease states that there has to be one sufficient putative cause present under certain circumstances, for a disease to occur, therefore, showing that every disease has only one cause. The first problem with this model according to Broadbent (2009:302-311), is that this model does not justify the restriction it puts on the number of causes of a disease. The second problem Broadbent (2009:302-311), shows is that of being unable to classify diseases caused by genetic disorders
Leonardo da Vinci was known as one of the greatest painters ever along with being a painter, he had many other skills and traits that made him unique. Leonardo excelled in almost all the fields of arts and science: in physics, mechanics engineering, mathematics, geometry, in anatomy, geology, botany and geography, in music, architecture, sculpture, and last but not least painting (Hohenstatt 6).He was born in Vinci near Florence Italy born on April 14, 1452. He grew up in the Renaissance Period a
more commonly known as “Mono” for short, is a relatively common illness among young adults. The term "mononucleosis" is a reference to the increase in your body’s mononuclear white blood cells (or lymphocytes) in your bloodstream, which is due to the EBV infection. This illness can leave you feeling extremely tired, can spike a slight fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. A persons tonsils can have a whitish coating. This is common in at least one-third of reported Mono cases. About 5% of patients
Infectious mononucleosis, commonly referred to as “mono”, is a disease that results from the Epstein-Barr virus or EBV. It is also known as glandular fever because it attacks the lymph glands in your throat. Many people have been exposed to mono at some point in their lives, but have built up resistance to the disease. People are diagnosed with mono through a type of blood test called a monospot test, and prescribed proper recovery methods. Mono affects people all around the world, but due to antibodies
there was a land called Monos. Translated into English it means “Land of the Monkeys.” This territory was like any other; it consisted of the rich, poor, rulers, criminals, and ordinary citizens. This area was rich in resources. The water was pure, the dirt was clean and most importantly, and the vegetation was vast. Some of the monkeys took advantage of these large quantities of resources. One man who took benefited from these resources was Bob. Bob was the owner of Monos Tree Cutting Business.
remained relatively small until the beginning of the 20th century. The period of 1900-1910 saw a mass emigration of Greeks to the United States: as many as 167,000 Greeks may have arrived during that decade (Monos 50). This number represented as much as 25% of the work force in Greece at that time (Monos 50). There were many factors that contributed to this influx of Greek people. As was the case for many groups who have migrated to the United States, economic hardship played a role in determining the Greeks’
Infectious Mononucleosis Infectious mononucleosis (colloquially known as mono) is frequently called the kissing disease. The virus that causes mono is called Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is one of the multiple human herpes viruses that are carried asymptomatically by most people. Primary infection is particularly usual in childhood and establishes a lifelong carrier state where the virus remains latent. The EBV replicates frequently in the oropharyngeal epithelial cells and circulating B-lymphocytes
The Model Theory Of Dedekind Algebras ABSTRACT: A Dedekind algebra is an ordered pair (B, h) where B is a non-empty set and h is a "similarity transformation" on B. Among the Dedekind algebras is the sequence of positive integers. Each Dedekind algebra can be decomposed into a family of disjointed, countable subalgebras which are called the configurations of the algebra. There are many isomorphic types of configurations. Each Dedekind algebra is associated with a cardinal value function called
