The abrupt breaking of rocks or explosions, fro example an earthquake or Nuclear bomb.
50-70%. At the age of 1, percentage is around 65%. In adult men, 60% of their bodies is water. 55% of adult women's weight is water due to fat not holding as much water as lean tissue; fat makes up more of women's bodies than men.
* More than 40 proteins and glycoproteins involved in the complement system are synthesized by the liver, macrophages, epithelial cells, they are present in the blood in plasmatic form, membrane, some have an enzymatic activity, regulator or membrane receptorThese are elements of the humoral innate immune response, they fight infections, purify immune complexes and apoptotic bodies.
<span>There are indeed three ways to activate the complement:</span>
Classical pathway: Activated by Immunoglobulins in immune complexes, aggregated Immunoglobulins, DNA, CRP, apoptotic bodies .......it involves nine fractions, starting with C1, then C4, C2, C3, to form a classical C5 convertase, then, activation of C5, C6, C7, C8, C9.
Alternative pathway: activated by polysaccharides (bacterial endotoxin), vascular wall poor in sialic acid, aggregated IgE ...C3b like is the first component in the alternate channel cascade, it will create an amplification loop, and form an alternative C5 convertase.
Lecithin pathway: Activated by mannose, fucose (carbohydrate of microorganisms)The first component is the complex MBL / MASP1 / MASP2: "mannose-binding protein": works according to the same principle as the complex C1 of the classical way (MASP2 cleaves the C4 and the rest of the cascade is equivalent to that of the classical way).
the three ways have the same outcome: A C5 convertase (formed by one of the pathways) cleaves C5 into C5a and C5b: C5b is deposited far from other fractions on the antigenic surface. The fixation of C5b in the cell is followed by that of C6, C7, C8, and C9 (9 molecules of C9): formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC) ==> Death of the cell by osmotic shock
Green roof do have several advantages over ordinary roofs as follows.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Green roof are defined as the roof over which a thin layer of soil is placed to grow a thin layer of grass or other plants. This have several advantages as follows:
A. Green roof help in reducing water logging in roofs, thereby reducing the dampening of the concrete, and increasing the longevity of the roof.
B. It is actually energy saving, by reducing the summer temperatures by evaporation and transpiration. It also maintains a warm room temperature in winter by reducing the heat loss.
C. It's also actually low in budget. Its initial cost is more than ordinary roof, but the maintenance cost is very low, if not nill.
D. Its a place for recreational activities. Greenery in urban areas are very rare sight, which can be met through this project.
E. Green roofs provide a chance for urban agriculture.
