Zinc Introduction Zinc is an essential mineral that is naturally present in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. Zinc is also found in many cold lozenges and some over-the-counter drugs sold as cold remedies. Zinc is involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism. Recommended Intakes Intake recommendations for zinc and other nutrients are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) at the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (formerly National Academy of Sciences) [2]. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals. The current RDAs for zinc are listed in Table 1 [2]. * Adequate Intake (AI) Sources of Zinc Food A wide variety of foods contain zinc (Table 2) [2]. * DV = Daily Value. The U.S. Zinc is also present in some denture adhesive creams at levels ranging from 17–34 mg/g [17].
create user interface - Flex Test Drive HTML applications are built from document elements such as headings, paragraphs, and tables. Flex applications are built from components such as Buttons, CheckBoxes, and DataGrids. The Flex 4.5 framework includes over 100 components, including user interface controls to display content and provide user interaction and containers to manage the layout. Switch to Source mode and take a look at the generated code. The <s:Label> tag represents a Label control, a very simple user interface component that displays text.
Top 10 Foods Highest in Zinc Zinc is an essential mineral required by the body for maintaining a sense of smell, keeping a healthy immune system, building proteins, triggering enzymes, and creating DNA. Zinc also helps the cells in your body communicate by functioning as a neurotransmitter. A deficiency in zinc can lead to stunted growth, diarrhea, impotence, hair loss, eye and skin lesions, impaired appetite, and depressed immunity. Conversely, consuming too much zinc can lead to nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and headaches in the short term, and can disrupt absorption of copper and iron in the long term. #1: Seafood (Cooked Oysters)Other Seafood High in Zinc (%DV per 3oz cooked): Crab (43%), and Lobster (41%). #2: Beef and Lamb (Cooked Lean Beef Shortribs)Lamb is also a good source of Zinc (%DV per 3oz cooked): Lean Foreshank (49%), Lean Shoulder (46%) and Lean Cubed Lamb for Stewing (37%).
Flash Builder 4 shortcuts and debugging tips The following tips are useful to know and remember while in a debugging session. Some of them are actually new in Flash Builder 4 and definitely worth knowing. Conditional breakpoints—You can now set a condition on a breakpoint that will cause it to only fire a certain number of times, or based on a certain expression or boolean (for instance it will only halt at that breakpoint when a given variable is a certain value). To set a conditional breakpoint, first set a breakpoint on a line (Shift-Cmd-B), then right-click and select Breakpoint Properties. You can set multiple expressions and just separate them with a comma or even modify a line of code from here without recompiling. Watch this Adobe TV video for some interesting things you can do with this feature. Watchpoints—New to Flash Builder 4, it allows you to monitor a variable instance during a debugging session.
Network of 75 Million Neurons of the Mouse Brain Mapped for the First Time Network of 75 Million Neurons of the Mouse Brain Mapped for the First Time With improved visualization tools and souped-up computers to crunch the massive numbers involved in studying the 100 billion neurons in the human brain, many researchers, including the U.S. government, are trying to map the brain’s wiring, or “connectome.” Some researchers have dived right in to studying the massive human brain, but others see the mouse brain, with just 75 million neurons, as a more logical place to start. A new atlas of study results related to the mouse connectome offers the equivalent of a highway map, with local roads to be filled in later. The atlas, described in a recent paper in Nature, represents more than four years of work undertaken at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, a private nonprofit funded by a grant by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. It’s the most detailed information we have on the brain of any animal other than that of the roundworm C. elegans, which has just 302 neurons.
Indian School of Business 2010-11 thread : The B-School Application - Canada, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe - Page 2 I am the last person who wants to stress anyone, so I apologize for posting this, but probably better now than later. For ISB the 80% GMAT score distribution is 680-760 with average being 716! So you are a little below in scores, but that may not mean much if you have a strong application. arvs212 wrote: hey...well im in for R2....have a not so gr8 GMAT score of 670(q47,v35,awa6) whch is way less than the freakishly high average GMAT score fr ISB... ...nonetheless i hope to make a nice apps package so tht they might cnsider me... fr strtrs i wrk just across the road to ISB ,in Infosys... i have arnd 2yrs wrk ex here in a banking project..and prior to this i was wrking in my own magazine business, which i have done fr abt a yr before doing my graduation( some unavoidble circmstnsces) and also aftr my graduation fr abt 6-7 mnths...and since last yr march i have also been actively involved and, worked for an NGO in AP(Hyderabad)... gr8!
Left Brain – Right brain and the Spinning Girl Take a look at the spinning girl below. Do you see it spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise? I see it spinning counter-clockwise, and I had a hard time getting it to switch direction. Give it a try. These kinds of optical illusions are always fun. What they reveal is how our brain processes visual information in order to create a visual model of the world. The spinning girl is a form of the more general spinning silhouette illusion. By looking around the image, focusing on the shadow or some other part, you may force your visual system to reconstruct the image and it may choose the opposite direction, and suddenly the image will spin in the opposite direction. This news article, like many others, ignores the true source of this optical illusion and instead claims it is a quick test to see if you use more of your right brain or left brain. We also do have hemispheric dominance, but that determines mostly your handedness and the probability of language being on the right or the left.
ant - What needs to be in a .war file to deploy a Flex application ThoughtLab - Killer Desktop Application Development in WPF Here at Thoughtlab we use the latest patterns and practices to develop robust, maintainable, and scalable applications in WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) for the desktop environment. Whether it’s to make use of emerging touch screen and tablet computers, create an integrated experience with Windows 8, or to create an engaging and visually appealing user interface, we can help. With productivity enhancing tools like Expression Blend and Sketchflow, we go beyond the standard mockups to focus on amazing user experience design. Windows Presentation Foundation has opened new doors to developing sleek interfaces that can dramatically improve user perceptions and overall experiences. We love the challenges of learning a business process and then creating user interfaces and user experiences that solve complicated problems and make them feel elegantly simple to users. ThoughtLab's team has been developing WPF applications since the first pre-beta release.
