With layer of Earth is responsible for creating Earths magnetic field.

Neporo4naja [7]

Unlike a bar magnet, however, Earth's magnetic field changes over time because it is generated by a geodynamo (in Earth's case, the motion of molten iron alloys in its outer core).

Many drugs can be applied to the skin without entering the blood. how is this fact explained?

ra1l [238]

*A drug administered by the cutaneous route can have one of these three actions:

Local action, superficial: ex. local anesthetic ...

Deep action: ex. anti-inflammatory action ...

Systemic or general action: ex. anti-anginal action

*The skin is a very effective barrier, which limits the number of drugs that can enter the system.

*The factor influencing the penetration of the drugs are:

- Nature and physicochemical properties of P.A: Molecular weight, hydrophilicity, lipophilicity, stability ...

- Formulation of the drug: Excipients lipophilic, hydrophilic, amphiphilic, an absorption promoter

- Nature and condition of the skin, Location, age, thickness (1 to 8 mm ...), vascularization...

*To not penetrate the skin, a drug should have to be of high molecular mass (to be unable to penetrate through the skin tissue), hydrophilic (since the skin is of a lipophilic nature).

*For example, solar creams should not enter the system so the excipients used are hydrophilic in nature.

How do you think scientists count the world’s human population?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Scientist count the world humans population with an organization called The United Nations Population Division (UNPD),

Explanation:

Which keeps track of the world population, projects that the world's human population will hit 7 billion on Halloween Day 2011. Admittedly, that is just an estimate: There's no way to know exactly how many people are alive at any given moment, and the true date that humanity's ranks will surpass 7 billion could come in the weeks or months before or after Oct. 31. Nonetheless, the UN's guess is the best there is.

___________ left turns are areas for turning that are controlled by a traffic signal or traffic sign.

Sphinxa [80]

Protected left turns are areas for turning that are controlled by a traffic signal or traffic sign. The traffic sign may be light.
A green light means you may turn left. while a red light means you must stop. Opposite to this, non protected left turns are not controlled by traffic sign.
