Alps

landforms in Switzerland is the wide range of mountains. Switzerland is dominated by mountains which cover about 60% of Switzerland’s land area. The formation of The Jura began 65 million years ago and was part of the same Earth movements that formed the Alps ("Jura Mountains,2010). With mountain ranges such as the Jura Mountains, the Monte Rosa Massif and the Matterhorn, they have made Switzerland one of the most desirable places for mountain hikers and skiers to visit. The Jura Mountains extend for 225milles

South of the Alps, there is a peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea. The peninsula has been named Italy since about 1st century BC. About 700 BC a group of people of unknown origin named the Etruscans was dominant over the Indo-Europeans at this time. Around 500 BC, the Etruscans had gained control over much of Italy. By the 4th century, Rome is gaining power, while the Etruscans are steadily losing it. Jumping ahead to around the 12th century, we see that Florence comes into play. Florence

whether participation in an accelerated learning program (ALP) increases completion rates for student when they take college-level English courses. It also addresses whether students placed into the high-level developmental English and college level English simultaneously increase student persistence, success in transferring to a four-year institution, and college preparation in general. Purpose/Function The big “BUT” would ask if ALP increases positive outcomes, what other factors might be

falls between 120 and 250km. The Alps are divided into four subdivisions, which include the Central, Southern, Western, and Eastern portions (Figure of map). Two cenozoic basins represent the eastern end of the Alps. The Vienna basin compromises the north while the Styrian basin is in the south, hiding any tectonic units (Froitzheim et al. 2008). East-west orientated valleys that are products of the Tertiary age Periadriatic Fault create the boundary of the Southern Alps from the other subdivisions (Froitzheim

Metabolic acidosis is one of the serious complications of AlP poisoning. It is due to circulatory failure and tissue hypoperfusion.6 Patients with AlP poisoning may develop metabolic acidosis which may be refractory and does not respond to the standard therapy.2,5,49The standard treatment of metabolic acidosis is intravenous sodium bicarbonate, whereas, in severe and refractory metabolic acidosis, patients may need hemodialysis.20As shown, arterial blood pH was maintained in the normal range in the

Who was Otzi, and how did he die? Otzi is a mummified man from the year 3300 BC. He was found in the Otztal Alps right next to the border of present day Italy and Switzerland. He was first spotted on the mountain by a German tourist. Otzi has come a very long way from the beginning of discovery. Originally, he was thought to be a normal tourist who died from exposure or exhaustion, but soon it was clear he was no normal tourist. Read on to explore Otzi’s death and learn more about this age old mystery

Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS), Type 1A Disease Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) is a heritable genetic disease, marked by mis-regulated lymphoproliferation, due to an inoperative FAS/FASL apoptotic pathway in lymphocytes (Sneller et al.1992). An immune response generates large amounts lymphocytes, to contend with pathogen insults, and the subsequent dispatch of the pathogen. The immune response then requires suppression of the activated lymphocytes, terminating the
