Vegetation characteristic in this area is described as treeless; dwarf shrubs, stunted sedges, mosses, lichens, short grasses; alpine and grass meadows. Los Angeles, California, placed on Mediterranean shrubland (MSh) terrestrial biome. Vegetation characteristic in this area is described as short shrub, drought adapted, tending to grassy woodlands chaparral. In Fargo, North Dakota, needleleaf forest and montane forest (NF/MF) makes vegetation in that area characterized as is needleleaf conifers, evergreen pine, spruce, fir, Russian larch ...
- 1883: Multiple Sclerosis
- Multiple Sclerosis, MS for short, effects approximately 5 in 10,000 people, and my step-mom Kathy happens to be one of the unlucky few (Rogner 5). MS is a disease that strikes the central nervous system, which consists of ... Society a person with primary-progressive MS is characterized by a gradual but steady progression of disability from the onset, with no obvious plateaus or remissions, or only occasional plateaus and minor, temporary improvements. In short this means that the symptoms Kathy is experiencing such as falling down due to a lack of coordination, tiredness, numbness, and bladder problems are only going to get worse. But possibly the worst symptom of ...

For example, disruption of hippocampal activity has been found to result in a deficiency in consolidating short term to long term memory. Cognitive disorders such as Parkinson's disease can be traced to problems in dopaminergic pathways. Serotonin has been implicated in the etiology of various CNS disorders including depression, obsessive-compulsive ...
- 1885: Long Term Affects Of Fas
- ... first acknowledged and given a name. Nearly thirty years later we are still having problems diagnosing and treating this incurable syndrome. The most obvious characteristics of those with FAS are facial deficits which include a short upturned nose, a small head, a broad and flattened face, a large space between the eyes, ears laid lower on the head, a long and thin upper lip and eyes with short slits. When a child with FAS has these characteristics the syndrome is easily recognized. Those FAE sufferers who are not recognized usually suffer from behavioral and cognitive learning problems. Most sufferers of FAE are diagnosed ...
- 1886: Lasers 2
- ... radio waves, the have a higher information carrying capacity. In beams of light,individual photon waves are not moving along together because they are not being emitted at the same instant but instead in random short bursts. Such beams are called incoherent. The process for laser action, was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1917. The working principles of lasers were outlined by the American physicists Arthur Leonard Schawlow and Charles ... in a precise manner. Lasers have been used, to drill holes in diamonds, to shape machine tools, to trim microelectronics , to heat treat semiconductor chips, to cut fashion patterns, to synthesize new material. The powerful short laser pulse also makes possible high-speed photography with an exposure time ofseveral trillionths of a second. Lasers have been used by car manufacturers to measure wind speed to test the wind resistance of a ...
- 1887: Lasers
- ... advancement in laser development came in 1954. This was the year that Charles H. Townes, an American physicist, created a device that amplified microwaves. This device was actually called a maser at first, which was short for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation Masers. It produced microwaves of just one frequency. Then the laser was developed from the maser. Several people have been accredited for the development of the laser ... parallel nature of laser light that makes lasers so useful. Lasers are most commonly used in the recording of music, motion pictures computer data, and other materials on special disks called a CD , which is short for compact disk. Bursts of small light record information in the form of tiny pits. Lasers can also read and play back the information it has recorded on the CD. More lasers are used in ...
- 1888: Kangaroos
- ... flyer, M. rufus. The best-known species, the gray kangaroo, is found mostly in open forests of eastern and southwestern Australia and Tasmania. It is long-haired and silvery gray in eastern coastal regions but short-haired and dark gray inland. The red kangaroo, which is found throughout Australia's interior grasslands, is the largest and most powerful species. A male may attain a head-body length of 1.5 m ... large kangaroos travel in groups (mobs) under the leadership of the largest male ("old man," or "boomer"), which dominates younger rivals by biting, kicking, and boxing.

Kangaroos possess soft, wooly fur, and some have stripes on the head, back, or upper limbs. All kangaroos have a chambered stomach ...
- 1889: Is Development Methodologies In Financial
- ... meant that existing information systems have been well developed in terms of technology and are compliant with the latest industry regulations. Therefore there is little or no need for redevelopment of existing systems in the short to medium term, and the ISD focus is almost exclusively on new market areas requiring Information Systems that can be started from scratch. The main exceptions to this are the possibility of introducing data warehousing ... to define their requirements. Also, because of the pace at which the company and the financial services sector as a whole moves, Information Systems need to be developed implemented right first time in a very short period of time, another argument for CASE. Both of these facts argue the case for CASE software use (such as Select SSADM Professional) and the use of software such as Visual Basic to prototype end ...
