This 3-line poem explores what might happen to a dream that is put off or denied through a series of metaphorical comparisons, suggesting that a deferred dream may wither away, fester like an infection, or potentially explode from the pressure of being denied.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
This document discusses antimicrobial agents and antibiotic resistance. It defines antimicrobial agents as chemicals that treat infectious diseases by inhibiting or killing pathogens. Ideal antimicrobial agents kill or inhibit pathogens without harming the host. The document then discusses different classes of antibiotics including their sources, mechanisms of action, and examples. It covers antibiotics that inhibit cell wall synthesis, cell membrane function, protein synthesis, and nucleic acid synthesis. The document concludes by discussing intrinsic and acquired antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
This document contains analyses of 4 advertisements. The first is for love-freedom values and promotes choice in eating meat or not. The second is also for freedom and gives people more choice in snacks by reducing fat. The third says the product is faster to save time and allows other activities. The fourth associates the product with spending power without fees.
The document discusses various antibiotic therapies for treating periodontal diseases, including systemic antibiotics like tetracyclines, metronidazole, and amoxicillin as well as local drug delivery systems like Actisite fibers and Arestin microspheres. It covers the mechanisms of action, side effects, dosages, and clinical efficacy of these therapies. The goal of antibiotic treatment is to reduce pathogenic bacteria and suppress inflammation in conjunction with nonsurgical periodontal therapy.
The document discusses steps for building charts in Splunk, including preparing the data, visualizing the chart type, building the chart using the Splunk search language, automating the chart, and polishing the final visualization. It provides examples of different chart types (like line charts, pie charts, and tables) and search commands in Splunk for building various visualizations. Customization techniques are also covered, such as using CSS stylesheets and XML definitions to control chart properties.

Here are the answers to the questions:
1) It is difficult to treat fungal infections because fungi are eukaryotic organisms like humans, so antifungal drugs must target differences between fungal and human cells to avoid toxicity.
2) The target of many antifungal drugs is ergosterol synthesis.
3) The main families of antifungal agents are polyenes (amphotericin B), azoles (fluconazole), and echinocandins (caspofungin).
4) Amphotericin B is commonly used to treat invasive fungal infections. It binds ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane, causing leakage of ions. The major
The urinary system functions to remove waste from the bloodstream, regulate fluid balance and electrolyte levels, and release important hormones. The kidneys filter around 50 gallons of blood per day, reabsorbing almost all of it back into circulation except for waste products like urea and excess water, which exit the body as urine through the ureters, bladder, and urethra. Each kidney contains over a million nephrons, the functional units that filter blood, reabsorb necessary molecules and ions, and secrete urine through a complex multi-step process along the nephron tubule. Urine production is regulated by hormones like ADH and aldosterone to maintain fluid homeostasis.
Skeletal muscle relaxants are divided into two groups: neuromuscular blockers and spasmolytics. Neuromuscular blockers are further divided into depolarizing and non-depolarizing drugs. Depolarizing drugs like succinylcholine cause muscle relaxation by depolarizing the motor end plate. Non-depolarizing drugs like tubocurarine competitively antagonize acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. Spasmolytics like baclofen and tizanidine reduce muscle spasms by acting centrally on GABA or alpha-2 receptors, while dantrolene acts peripherally by interfering with calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These
GWT (Google Web Toolkit) is a framework that allows developers to write client-side applications in Java and deploy them as optimized JavaScript. It includes a Java to JavaScript compiler that handles cross-browser compatibility. GWT applications are compiled into optimized JavaScript that results in better performance than traditional JavaScript applications. The compiled applications can be run in all major browsers without page reloads, providing a rich client experience similar to desktop applications.
This document discusses refactoring Java code to Clojure using macros. It provides examples of refactoring Java code that uses method chaining to equivalent Clojure code using the threading macros (->> and -<>). It also discusses other Clojure features like type hints, the doto macro, and polyglot projects using Leiningen.
This document discusses continuous delivery, which is an agile methodology for frequently delivering incremental software changes to users. It involves fully automating the build, deployment, testing and release processes through a deployment pipeline. This reduces costs and risks while ensuring that quality software is delivered to users quickly. The document outlines various goals and best practices of continuous delivery, such as automating everything possible, testing excessively, and avoiding anti-patterns like code freezes or manual deployments. It also discusses tools that can help with continuous delivery and adopting this approach.
The document summarizes a Java User Group meeting, including what a JUG is, how to join one, and the agenda for an upcoming meeting. A JUG is a group that meets regularly to discuss Java technologies and share experiences. Members can learn, teach, and network with other developers. The upcoming meeting will include introductions to the JUG, Java certification in Latvia, the Apache Buildr build system, alternative languages on the JVM, and Java puzzles. Attendance is free and open to anyone interested in Java topics.
The document discusses Java certification options from Oracle and other providers. It outlines the various levels of Oracle's Java certification program, including the Oracle Certified Associate, Oracle Certified Professional, and Oracle Certified Master levels. It also provides details on the SCJP certification exam such as the number of questions, duration, passing score, languages available, and recommended preparation materials. Other topics covered include where exams can be taken and new certifications for Java EE6.
The document summarizes key points from the Devoxx 2010 conference, including trends in Java, web technologies, and cloud computing. It notes that Java will continue evolving with JDK 7 and 8, HTML5 and web apps are growing, and NoSQL and cloud technologies are becoming more popular. The document provides takeaways on these technologies and advises which ones are important to watch in the coming years.
