The Hormone Bridge

I will be explaining four of the most popular types of truss bridges in this paragraph. One type of truss is the Allan truss bridge. The Allan truss bridge been in the world of truss bridges for a long time. A fact of the Allan truss is it was first ever build in the 1800s, and the first time the Allan truss was designed was on the date of August 13, 1894. Aldo Alan truss aren’t as common as today there still a very good truss bridge, and quite efficient. Next truss bridge is the Warren truss bridge. A Warren truss bridge is one of the most commonly built truss bridge. That because a Warren truss bridge is simple and is not a big task to build. It uses equilateral triangles to spread out all of the loads from the bridge. It works very well due to all of the triangles minimizing the forces of tension and compression. It’s said to be really light but very efficient, and strong. Another type of truss bridge is a much known truss bridge which is the Baltimore truss bridge. A Baltimore truss bridge is very common to a Pratt truss, the only differences are its additional branchy which is much lower compare to the Pratt truss. The reasons of that are it prevents bucking in the members. The Baltimore truss was first built in the year 1871 for railroads it was first build in the areas such as Baltimore, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Today it’s one of the most famous type truss bridges in the world. The last bridge on the list is a Pratt truss bridge. It was first develop in the 1800s, and was designed by Caleb Pratt and Thomas in the year 1844. It has a unique and good usage of iron and was first used as a railway which was very popular. It’s very solid and good at taking on compression and tension. Its form is vertical and diagonal that go towards the center of the bridge. Today it’s known as a simple and strong truss bridges that work very efficient and give it one of the tops spots as one of the truss bridges

Patients at our functional medicine clinic near Milwaukee rely on the fact that our hormone supplements are produced from the safest raw materials at PCCA-accredited pharmacies. Our experienced hormone providers, Debra Muth ND and Amy Hoffman NP work with each patient to determine which supplements will best address their health problems.

The endocrine system is a group of glands distributed throughout the human body. This group of glands secretes substances called hormones. These hormones are dumping into the bloodstream (Shier, Butler & Lewis, 2009). The endocrine system does not have a single anatomic location. It is dispersed throughout the human body. The final purpose of this process is to control, regulate, and coordinate the functioning of the human body. Some body functions can be activated or inhibited by hormones, which are secreted in very small quantities. The hormone related diseases may be due to hyper secretion, or a hypo secretion. The hormones secreted by the endocrine glands regulate growth, development and function of many tissues, and coordinate the

     In this paper I will be focusing on the positive and negative aspects of hormonal replacement therapy. To understand replacement therapy we first need to look at what occurs in a women’s body during menopause. As a woman is my 40’s like so many others, I will be in need of this information in the not so distant future, and as such this topic serves a considerable purpose. Awareness and education in this area can alleviate problems and make what could be a traumatic experience more manageable thereby raising the quality of ones life. Hopefully, women today will no longer have to

Hecox (2011) says that the arch structure of the Tillman Bridge makes the canyon walls hold the weight of both vehicles and the bridge itself. In addition, the arch structure allows a better vision of the canyon for the drivers, which was a request of the population to the engineers of the project. In the other hand, according to Jones (2015), the truss structure of the new St. Anthony Bridge also was requested by the population because they wanted to keep a truss bridge in that place. The author also affirms that the St. Anthony Bridge is a truss, but the project team proposed adding a posttensioned concrete bottom chord to the steel truss in order to reinforce it. The project team made this choice because one bridge in Minnesota has collapsed in 2007, and the engineers wanted to lessen the fracture-critical issues to avoid a new catastrophe. In addition, this posttensioning approach wiil make the structure redundant for both resiliency and long-term durability. In conclusion, both bridge's structures were right chosen in order to provide safety and beauty in both

Insulin and glucagon are vital hormones in every human’s body. Before studying how these hormones relate and work together, what they are must first be determined. An antagonistic hormone is a type of hormone that acts to return body conditions back to the acceptable limits from opposite extremes (“Antagonistic Hormones”). Insulin is a hormone that tells cells throughout the body to take in glucose from the bloodstream, and glucagon is a hormone that works to balance the actions of insulin; they are antagonistic hormones (Morris). In this paper, the correlation between these hormones will be examined, how they benefit the body, and what

This research has the potential to help many people with behavioral and social issues. With the correlation of specific hormones to certain actions, the possibilities of hormone therapy are endless. If we could treat the hormone that excites aggression, anger could be managed more easily and violent crimes could be reduced. Hormones associated with the mother-infant bond, and post-partum depression could help overcome the struggles that new mothers face after child-birth. Furthermore, post-partum depression might be entirely prevented. This could in turn decrease the the numbers of neglected and abused children; thus resulting in the evolution of more balanced adults.

Estrogen is a steroid hormone which plays a crucial role in growth and maturation of both sexes. In the female reproductive system, estrogen targets tissues such as mammary glands, uterus, and ovaries. Bone formation has a significant positive relationship with estrogen from puberty to maturation and beyond (Clark et al., 1992). Post puberty estrogen is mainly synthesized and released from the ovaries in females. Through binding proteins or estrogen receptors (ER) found within the nucleus, estrogen is retained and affects specific target tissues throughout the body. Binding of estrogen to its receptor causes conformational change which in turn allows binding to chromatin and proceed with transcription of specific target genes (Murdoch

The average American superhero will have many different traits or unnatural abilities which makes them who they are. Their superhuman traits make people want to be like them, dress up like them or buy some of their cool gadgets. What makes these superheroes, so great, is just that, they are heroes. No matter the age, people love superheroes. Each superhero is unique is their very own way but they do share some traits that make viewers or readers cling to them. Superpowers, unique costumes and dual identities are common characteristics that are major traits which American superheroes share.

With New Yorks skyscrapers it is hard to believe that the United States was not the leader of the construction of the first modern bridge in the world, according to Historic American Engineering Record(2008), the first modern bridge in the United States was built in 1 November 1855, and was named Gasconade Bridge, it was made out of Wooden Rail Bridge. Bridges are built all over the United States for different purposes but they are built to connect two parts of land together for transportation for instance, Hoover Dam Bridge, and others are built for commercial reasons and some are built for tourism for example, the Royal Gorge Bridge. But they have the same concept of connecting to lands together regardless to the reasons that they were constricted for. It

It is shaped in a way to transfer weight to the towers and anchors with its tension (O'Connor, 1971, p. 372). Cables are made of high strength wires spirally bound to form a rope (O'Connor, 1971, p. 372). Vertical cable suspenders that are fastened to the main cables hang the actual roadway. Stiffening girders and trusses are along the side of the bridge to distribute concentrated loads and help to keep the motion of the bridge at a minimum (Troitsky, 1994, p115).

Within field studies, the best way to understand the workings of the endocrine system usually involves injecting a specimen with a hormone or removing the gonads of the specimen to observe changes in hormone concentrations (Mazur, Booth, & Dabbs, 1992). However with human subjects this kind of procedure proves to be rather unethical, and therefore researchers have found that the best way to observe a particular hormone, such as testosterone, is to observe what occurs when an individual is subjected to competition (Mazur et al., 1992). It has been observed that as an individual, male or female, participates in a competitive event, their testosterone levels are subject to rise (Booth, Shelley, Mazur, Tharp, & Kittok, 1989). This notion is further supported through the observation of rising testosterone levels in those individuals who win their event. In fact it has been suggested that an individual’s testosterone level increases in order to maintain an aura of dominance, and thus the act of winning a competition increases the level of testosterone in order to maintain that dominance and level of competitiveness over the game (Booth et al., 1989). While testosterone levels increase with victory, defeat often inspires the decrease of testosterone levels as well as feelings of competitiveness (Booth et al., 1989). This phenomenon is not limited to just those individuals competing in an event; in fact it has also been observed that even those watching a particular

“Gender is complex” (Lippa, A R 1994) there are unlimited influences that affect each and every one of us as we develop as human beings; we are all unique models, shaped not only by our DNA but also by the physical and emotional environment in which we find ourselves including our biological genes, sex hormones and ongoing genetic and hormonal changes can be defined as ‘nature’ and influence physical development and sexual identity while family background, class and belief systems, described as ‘nurture’ affect gender through the encouragement of social norms and familiar gender roles. (Fausto-Sterling, A 2008) Away from the biological, peer group influences, such as school friends and their families also reinforce gender stereotypes while in the wider world mass media, from children 's TV to advertising campaigns, government guidelines on education and community structure and various external influences such as culture and religious beliefs, and according to Fausto-Sterling (2008) “all form the mannerisms of the individual and define ‘gender’”

Oxytocin is a natural hormone produced by the hypothalamus that is used as a medication during childbirth to induce or speed up labor. But scientists noticed that in non-human mammals, intranasal administration of oxytocin seemed to promote positive social behavior, traditionally “good” social forces like trust and cooperation; for this reason came about the study of oxytocin’s effects on social behavior in humans. Positive social behavior is instrumental in our everyday interactions, and especially can have important consequences in business, where individuals make decisions often about the well-being of their “groups”. Many experiments were performed dedicated to understanding oxytocin’s effects on positive social behavior, and the hormone took on the moniker of the “love drug” or “cuddle chemical.” This positive social behavior, stronger bonds of trust within the members of a group, was coined in-group favoritism in De Dreu et al. (2011); negative social behavior, or the tendency towards prejudice, was labeled out-group derogation.

Arch bridge is one of the most popular types of bridges, it came into use over 3000 years ago and remained in height of popularity until industrial revolution and invention of advanced materials that make architect to create other modern bridge designs. However, even today arch bridges remain in use, the arches can be built on much larger scales with the help of modern materials. Its curved design is the basic principle of arch bridge, it does not push load forces straight down, but instead they are transported along the curve of the arch to the supports on each end. These supports (called abutments) carry the load of all of the bridge and are responsible for holding the arch in the accurate position stable position. Transporting of forces across the arch is done through central keystone on the top of the arch. Its weight pushes the surrounding rocks down and outward, making entire structure very rigid and strong.
