Pros and Cons of Gated Communities When you think of a gated community‚ what comes to mind? Probably things like safety‚ security‚ exclusivity‚ expensive homes‚ and more. But what else lies behind those gates? Privacy and Security Gated communities provide a lot of benefits to the residents that live within them. The number one reason people choose to live in gated communities is likely the security element.Because gated communities are private‚ they are more difficult to access than a

Sodium is a mineral that is present only in small quantities in most natural foods‚ but salt is added‚ often in large amounts‚ in food processing and by cooks to enhance flavor. Sodium is the predominant ion in extra cellular fluid. Sodium (Na) is the predominant cation in extra cellular fluid and its concentration is under tight homeostatic control. Excess dietary sodium is excreted in the urine. The kidney very efficiently reabsorbs the mineral when intakes are low or losses are excessive. Sodium

Sodium chloride‚ also known as salt‚ common salt‚ table salt‚ or halite‚ is an ionic compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. As the major ingredient in edible salt‚ it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. [edit] Properties Thermal conductivity of pure NaCl as a function of temperature has a maximum of 2.03 W/(cm K) at 8 K and decreases to 0.069 at 314

regulate the voltage supply‚ given to electronic circuits. This project‚ namely VARIABLE VOLTAGE REGULATOR‚ aims at fulfilling such small goals‚ using the 3-terminal voltage regulator LM317. The circuit consists of an IC LM317 and a set of resistors and capacitors‚ in addition to the transformer and the rectifying element. The AC voltage‚ from the mains supply is initially stepped down to the desired voltage‚ which is then rectified to be applied to the input terminal of the voltage regulator

HIGH-VOLTAGE NEURAL STIMULATOR COMBINED WITH A LOW-VOLTAGE RECORDER Ulrich Bihr‚ Jens Anders‚ Joachim Becker and Maurits Ortmanns Institute of Microelectronics‚ University of Ulm‚ Ulm‚ Germany Ulrich.Bihr@uni-ulm.de Abstract: This paper presents a high-voltage (HV) neural stimulator combined with a low-voltage (LV) neural recorder. In many bidirectional neural implementations with a high voltage compliance for the stimulation is it not possible to have a high density due to the high power

Sodium hydroxide‚ also known as caustic soda‚[2][3] or lye‚ is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaOH (also written as NaHO). It is a white solid‚ and is a highly caustic metallic base and alkali salt. It is available in pellets‚ flakes‚ granules‚ and as a 50% saturated solution.[citation needed] Sodium hydroxide is soluble in water‚ ethanol and methanol. This alkali is deliquescent and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide in air. Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries

System: Ion Channels 1. What structures in the cell membrane function as ion channels? Intergral Proteins 2. Ion channels are selective for specific ions. What three characteristics of the ions are important for this selectivity? a. Charge on ion (+ or -) b.Size c. The amount of water the Ion attracts 3. Channels can be classified as either gated or nongated channels. A sodium channel that is always open would be classified as a/an non-gated channel. 4. Would sodium ions move
