Chemically there are similarities between Strontium and other heavier alkaline earth metals such as Barium and Calcium. The Sr element (chemical name strontium) has four isotopes which are naturally occurring out of which 88Sr is most commonly found in nature. Strontium's atomic number is 38, and Sr's atomic mass is 88. In places where Ca, along with other elements give an indication of calcareous rocks and felsic intrusive indicated by other elements, the bedrock geology would be favourable for different elements. Strontium, owing to its strong association with calcium, is very useful in indicating the presence of calcareous rocks, especially those associated with Mg and Ba. However, this method still suffers from certain drawbacks such as a high exothermic reaction and poor attachment of bone cement to the bone surface. ![]() For arthroplasties of the knee, hip and other joints and fixation of metallic or polymer prosthetics implants to bones, Conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is used. In orthopaedic surgery, injectable acrylic bone cement is commonly used to treat prostheses. However, this method is not allowed in Canada or the United States. In Europe and Australia, Strontium ranelate, which is a pharmacologic agent, is used to treat osteoporosis in individuals. Since Strontium is quite similar to the element calcium, it is located in bones. Strontium is present in varied quantities in all living organisms. The production of fireworks constitutes 5 percent of the world's total output. This property also helps to distinguish Strontium from other elements in a flame test. Strontium is used to create Strontium Carbonate and other Strontium salts which are used to give red colour to fireworks. This has consequently significantly affected the way Strontium is mined and refined. ![]() However, this use of Sr element is gradually on the decline owing to the declining usage of CRTs in televisions. Sr chemical name Strontium has the most important application in the production of glass manufacture of cathode ray tubes found in colour television. Typical uses of Strontium are listed below: Strontium's electronic configuration 5s and CAS number. The metal has four isotopes-84Sr, 86Sr, 87Sr, 88Sr. With an atomic number of 38, the relative atomic mass of Strontium is 87.62. The density of Sr element (where Sr is the chemical symbol for Strontium) is 2.64 g cm 3 and is in the block s of the periodic table. Strontium belongs to period five and has a boiling point of 1377☌ or 2511☏ or 1650 K. It has a high melting point of 777☌ or 1431☏ or 1050 K. In the periodic table, Strontium belongs to group 2. The chemical nature of Strontium is very reactive. Strontium was discovered collaboratively by Adair Crawford and William Cruikshank in 1790. Physically and chemically, the Sr element is similar to its neighbours on the periodic table-Calcium and barium. The metal also reacts with air to produce a dark oxide layer. It is an alkaline earth metal and is yellowish and silver-white. ![]() Owing to its electronic configuration, Sr element has some specific properties and happens to be highly reactive. By nature, Strontium is an alkaline earth metal. Strontium is an element having an atomic number of 38 and atomic mass 87.62 g.mol -1.

The purpose of tabby patterning is to provide camouflage for the cat when he or she is hunting. #15 Tabby patterns are designed to hide a hunting cat! What many people don’t realize is that cats can also be found with the same pale bodies and orange tabby points! These cats are often strikingly beautiful, like the lovely Siberian cat below. You will be familiar with some of the more exotic cat breeds that come in pale colors with dark points or markings on face, paws and tail.Cats like the siamese breed for example. White patches are most often found on the chest and belly or on the paws and tip of the tail. But like many other cat colors, red tabby can be mixed with white patches. And may reduce the chances of your cat bringing up hairballs. Long haired cats, need regular grooming, whatever their color, to avoid matting and keep them looking handsome! Brushing your long haired cat also helps to reduce the amount of hair they swallow when grooming themselves. But while the typical orange ‘street’ cat is often short coated, our orange friends can be either long or short haired. #9 Ginger Tabby Cats can be long or short hairedĬat coat hair length is inherited independently of color. It’s all to do with the way that the color orange is passed down on the cat’s chromosomes. You’ve probably heard that orange tabbies are usually male. ![]() #8 It’s true! Orange Tabbies are usually male A study published in 2015 showed that although in general lighter colored cats were rehomed sooner than darker cats, adult yellow colored cats sadly had the longest stay in the shelter. People may prefer their orange cats to be a really dark ginger or red in color rather than the paler yellow shades of orange. ![]() And areas of the skin that are pink or red – for example, our lips. Pheomelanin is also responsible for red hair in humans. Through color dilution, the chemical can create a range of shades from rich burnt orange to pale yellow or cream It’s the same chemical found in dogs, rabbits and lots of other animals. Pheomelanin is a pigment in the hair shaft reflects light in a red-orange-yellow range, which we then see as the orange colored fur in many of our pets. #6 The color orange is produced by a chemical called pheomelanin ![]() Based on their real life cat, Orlando, he even made it onto the radio and into a ballet. Author Katherine Hale created the books for her own children. Orlando The Marmalade Cat was featured in a series of children’s books published in the UK in 1938. We often say that the M on an orange cat’s face stands for Marmalade too! Or Magnificent, Magic, or Marvellous! #5 Orlando was one of the first red tabby cats from literature to become famous Orange tabbies are often called Marmalade cats in the UK, after the gingery color of one of our breakfast favorites – Marmalade, or Orange Jam. But the paler, brighter orange tabbies can be strikingly beautiful too. From a pale biscuity orange to a deep rich ginger or reddish brown. There is a surprising range or variety in the depth of color that you can find in orange cats. #3 Orange Tabbies come in different shades ![]() It’s one of those special weapons that can kill something in one hit once it gets down to ten percent of its base health. One of my favorite weapons from that DLC is the Curved Slayer due to the unique Executioner skill that it possesses. I always enjoy getting my hands on expansions to games that I play and this was no exception. I’m one of those people that nabbed the Siptah DLC the moment it came out. ![]() The Curved Slayer Katana (Shown Above) highlights one of my favorite fighting styles in the entire Conan Exiles Game! The movement style this weapon possesses will make you feel like you're dancing through the battlefield. When you fight the Red Mother in the Unnamed City there is a slight chance this bow can be looted off of her when she dies. How to get the Reach of the Red Mother Bow: The Reach of the Red Mother Bow is great for: Even if taking down the Red Mother can be a challenge that requires some preparation, it's not impossible to do quite early on in the game. It’s usually the first weapon that I attempt to hunt down when I hop into the game. One of my all time favorite bows to use is this one. Reach of the Red Mother (Shown Above) is a great Agility Weapon to aim for! When given the choice between leveling Strength or Agility, I tend to always go with Agility, and here are some of my favorite weapons to play with when I do! Given the wide variety of weapons in Conan Exiles and the new update that just dropped for Age of War I’m going to cover a few weapons that had some changes done to them. Agility, as a stat, allows you to move quickly and plays into quite a few different weapon types that are built around how you dance around your enemy and avoid the worst of their hits. If you’re like me, you like to be able to dodge out of the way of whatever you’re fighting and then scamper around them while taunting them, before leaping in for a quick hit or two and retreating again safely. Since Tugboat appears to specialize in deep fried seafood, I suggest they try to up the flavor factor, so taste is not dependent almost entirely on 'hot and crispy'.īTW, Tugboat a long very thin and skinny piece of fish does not fool my eye into thinking I am getting a 'big' piece of fish. They are supposed to be filling and crispy and tasty and at least a bit greasy. Obviously CHEAP frozen fries (or disguised to taste and look like CHEAP frozen fries) I eat them because they are there.įish & chips are not gourmet fare.

One day we did not get home in time to eat Tugboat's fish "piping hot". ![]() Salt does have the advantage of having fish that does not depend almost entirely for flavor on its' being served hot. Of course, any fried fish will diminish in flavor as it cools, - well, duh - but H. I've gone around the state, country, and world and still have yet to find fish and chips that taste as good as the food from Tugboat. Salt has their technique down, and their fried fish is my not so guilty pleasure. Tugboat Fish and Chips is and forever will be the best fish and chips place I've had the pleasure of eating at. ![]() Nice and hot, the fish is great, tastes just like deep fried fish. 8 or so for a nice 3 piece order with chips. The prices are decent as we have a lot fish and chips places in our area. Actually number one and two are pretty darn close. I have only eaten take-out food from here, and I have never actually gone in and picked up the food myself the hubster does that.So my review will be lacking in those areas.

Such procedures may also require a spinal fusion to stabilize the spine until it heals. In some cases, the surgeon may need to remove diseased bone to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Spine surgery is considered if the spine appears to be unstable or if there is significant compression of the neural elements. During these procedures, the surgeon injects a cement mixture into the fractured bone to stabilize the fracture, treat pain, and prevent a spinal deformity from progressing. The surgeon may perform a vertebroplasty or a kyphoplasty. Radiation is applied to the area of involvement in the hopes of shrinking the tumor and removing pressure from the nerves. Nonsurgical option for pain relief is radiation therapy or injection of bone cement. If the fracture is caused by metastatic cancer, treatment options vary by case. Treatment may include calcium and vitamin D supplements, bisphosphonates, and weight-bearing exercise. If the fracture is caused by osteoporosis, treatment of the osteoporosis can help prevent additional fractures. The brace helps support the back and prevents bending forward, which removes pressure from the fractured vertebrae. These include taking pain medications, limiting physical activity, and wearing a brace. The goals of treatment are pain relief, reversal or stabilization of neurological deficits, and stabilization of the spine.įor the most part, nonoperative treatments are recommended for less severe pathologic fractures. (The amount of radiation is small–less than the radiation in half of one CT scan.) This scan helps identify damaged bones. Nuclear bone scan: a diagnostic procedure in which a radioactive substance is injected into the body to measure activity in the bones. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. Computed tomography scan (CT scan): a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce detailed images of the body.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.Dynamic, or flexion/extension X-rays (X-rays that show the spine in motion) may be obtained to see if there is any abnormal or excessive movement or instability in the spine at the affected levels. Specific bony abnormalities such as bone spurs, disc space narrowing, vertebral body fracture, collapse, or erosion can also be identified on plain film X-rays. Spinal dislocation or slippage (also known as spondylolisthesis), kyphosis, scoliosis, as well as local and overall spine balance can be assessed with X-rays. X-rays provide an overall assessment of the bone anatomy as well as the curvature and alignment of the vertebral column. Soft tissue structures such as the spinal cord, spinal nerves, the disc and ligaments are usually not seen on X-rays, nor on most tumors, vascular malformations, or cysts. X-ray (also known as plain films): test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams (X-rays) to produce images of bones.If a pathologic fracture is suspected, the doctor may order the following diagnostic procedures: convex bulging (not retropulsion) of the posterior vertebral cortex into the spinal canal 2Ĭontrast enhancement of the fractured vertebral body was in some studies 1 not helpful in differentiating between osteoporotic and metastatic vertebral fractures, as they both usually present with heterogeneous, intense enhancement.The doctor will take a complete medical history and perform a complete physical examination. ![]() replaced signal of the vertebral body, especially extending into the pedicles or posterior elements (on MR) 2.The following features favor the diagnosis of a pathological fracture: retropulsion (not posterior bulging) of the posterosuperior cortex of the vertebral body.low signal intensity band on T1WI and T2WI indicating a fracture line.preserved normal fatty bone marrow T1WI signal.The following features favor the diagnosis of a benign fracture: MRI is the superior imaging modality to make this determination 1,2. This may be especially true in the elderly population, in which both osteoporosis and malignant disease often co-occur, and vertebral fractures of both kinds are common and indeed may coexist. Discriminating between acute osteoporotic and pathological vertebral fractures is sometimes challenging. I can't wait to bore everyone with a million pictures of Blitz.

Meaning, bass or sub-bass notes exist within the low-frequency ranges, while mid-range and highs exist within higher frequencies. The more the cycles completed per second, the higher the frequency and consequently, the higher the pitch (notes) and vice versa. High and Low Frequencies (From UVIC Audio) And, frequency, measured in Hertz, indicates the number of complete vibration cycles in one second. The vibrations, caused by air movement as the speaker’s diaphragm moves back and forth, are what our ears turn into sound. Without going into the deep technical definition, frequency in “audio” terms refers to the number of complete cycles (vibrations) of a sound wave in a given time frame. Let’s look at some of the audio terminologies you’ll encounter while EQ-ing with a digital equalizer: 1. The numerous sliders with labels do different controls to varying elements of sounds, and there are technical terms you’ll need to be familiar with. Tweaking EQ settings is fun, but you won’t get far if you don’t know what is actually happening. Parametric EQ (From PreSonus) What You Should Know About Equalizers: Understanding Common EQ Terms The below is an example of a parametric EQ from Presonus. But the baseline is, they give you the ability to personalize your listening experience and cover the aforementioned audio quality limitations. These built-in equalizers have more control sliders than the fundamental traditional equalizers but can’t match those in advanced studio equipment. And these early equalizers still exist in many consumer electronics and advance more with many knobs and sliders in studio recording equipment and DJ mixers.Įven so, many people are more familiar with digital equalizers available on their laptops, smartphones, and music streaming services like Amazon Music. A good example would be the three-tone knobs present on car stereos and instrument amplifiers for ‘bass,’ ‘mid-range,’ and ‘treble’ control. Old equalizer types are mostly hardware-based, with frequency-dedicated physical knobs for audio manipulation. They work within the human-audible frequencies of between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, with different equalizer types having varying sound control and accuracy.Īnd as mentioned earlier, an equalizer helps balance frequencies to suit sound quality in different environments, listening methods, and personal preferences. So, consider the quality of your audio system, the type of audio, and the file compression type before sliding the EQ controls to their maximum.ĭigital Equalizer (From Descriptive Audio) What Is An Equalizer?Īn equalizer is an audio processor that allows tweaking of sound frequencies to improve overall quality or decrease/boost specific frequencies’ dominance. However, the EQ will only boost an already good audio system’s performance and can worsen the sound quality of a flawed playback system. ![]() In most cases, several EQ tweaks will turn okay sound quality to excellent sound for most audio systems worth their salt. Therefore, even the best home theatre systems or In-Ear-Monitors (IEMs) need the help of an equalizer to smoothen the hardware quirks. ![]() While some audio systems sound better than others do, there is nothing perfect for all audio types. Music sounds as good as the interpretation of the sound signal by the playback system. To Cover Up The Limitations Of Different Playback Systems Also, you can attenuate the imperfect frequencies or tone down high frequencies that cause rapid ear fatigue. That way, you won’t miss a word as the vocals become louder. For instance, when listening to a podcast, you can boost the frequency of lyrics to be dominant over other frequencies. You can tweak sound frequencies to focus on specific instruments, vocals, or elements of a song. ![]() Thus, the sound engineer will optimize music within the human-audible frequencies, but equalizers help boost or cut the frequencies according to your liking.Ī good EQ gives you broader control over basic bass or treble tuning. Therefore, everyone hears sound differently with changing loudness preferences and expectations. But how much you can actually hear in between that frequency range varies with age, environment, and your ear physiology. The human ear can hear sounds within frequencies of 20Hz to 20 kHz. But why do equalizers exist? And why do you need to EQ your music if the professional engineers have already done it? Well, equalizers exist to give you the option to customize sounds for two main reasons: 1. For the older generation, the tiny little sliders that existed on Zeppelin record players may ring a bell, but EQ is now all-digital in modern devices such as smartphones and laptops.
