Auroras are the result of disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere caused by the solar wind. Major disturbances result from enhancements in the speed of the solar wind from coronal holes and coronal mass ejections. These disturbances alter the trajectories of charged particles in the magnetospheric plasma. These particles, mainly electrons and protons, precipitate into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere). The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emit light of varying color and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles.
Indications
[edit]Oocyte cryopreservation can increase the chance of a future pregnancy for four key groups of women:
- Those diagnosed with cancer who have not yet begun chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- Over 50,000 reproductive-age women are diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States.[1] Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are toxic for oocytes, reducing the amount of viable eggs. Egg-freezing may be used in this case to preserve eggs.
- Those undergoing treatment with assisted reproductive technologies who do not consider embryo freezing an option
- Those who would like to preserve their future ability to have children
- Women with a family history of early menopause may have an interest in fertility preservation to preserve viable eggs that could deteriorate at an earlier onset.
- Those with ovarian diseases such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Signs and symptoms
[edit]Some initial symptoms of malaria include feeling unwell, experiencing headaches and fatigue, and having muscle aches and abdominal pain. This can eventually progress to a fever. Other common symptoms consist of nausea, vomiting, and orthostatic hypertension. Malaria can also lead to seizures which may precede going into a comatose state.[2]
Effectiveness and benefits
[edit]A primary benefit associated with the practice is that of stimulating blood flow in the circulatory system through the heat and movement of the stones.[3] Stone massages also ease muscle pain and, often, the presence of muscle tension and spasms, through reducing inflammation and relaxing muscles, through a combination of both the heat and movement experience during the practice to access deeper tissues.[4] This method of massage is also commonly recommended for physically sensitive individuals as it allows for a deeper tissue massage without excessive hand treatment from the therapist.[5]
Astronomical art emerged as a distinct genre in the 1940s and 1950s. Chesley Bonestell was recognized for his skills in addressing perspective challenges and creating visual representations of astronomical concepts. Contemporary artists continue to contribute to the visualization of ideas within the space community, such as depicting theoretical capabilities for interstellar travel and illustrating hypothetical deep-space phenomena.[6][7]
History
[edit]In the 1880s, Thomas Rogers sold an acre of his land, then part of Hassan Township, to Great Northern Railroad for a dollar. The new depot provided a convenient stop for the rich timber resources of the area, and served as the beginning ground of a new community. When St. Martin Catholic Church and school were added, Rogers grew in local importance, consequently causing new businesses to be built and the town to be regarded as more of a local hub than other nearby communities such as Fletcher. In 1914, the city was incorporated.
Since the 2019–2020 school year, Rogers has competed in the Northwest Suburban Conference, which includes Andover, Anoka, Blaine, Centennial, Champlin Park, Coon Rapids, Elk River, Maple Grove, Osseo, Park Center, Robbinsdale Armstrong, Spring Lake Park, and Totino-Grace.
Accordingly, resilience strategies have tended to be conceived of in terms of counter-terrorism, other disasters (earthquakes, wildfires, tsunamis, coastal flooding, solar flares, etc.), and infrastructure adoption of sustainable energy. More recently, there has been an increasing attention to the evolution of urban resilience [8] and the capability of urban systems to adapt to changing conditions. This branch of resilience theory builds on a notion of cities as highly complex adaptive systems. The implication of this insight is to move urban planning away from conventional approaches based in geometric plans to an approach informed by network science that involves less interference in the functioning of cities. Network science provides a way of linking city size to the forms of networks that are likely to enable cities to function in different ways. It can further provide insights into the potential effectiveness of various urban policies.[9] This requires a better understanding of the types of practices and tools that contribute to building urban resilience. Genealogical approaches explore the evolution of these practices over time, including the values and power relations underpinning them.
Following the passage of the 1972 Clean Water Act (CWA), the levels of water pollution in US waterways generally have experienced a dramatic decrease with respect to sewage outflow and many types of industrial wastewater.[10] The 1972 law did not address surface runoff from farms or urban runoff pollution. Municipal stormwater runoff became subject to regulation in 1987, although implementation of the requirements by cities and towns has been a slow and difficult process. About half of U.S. stream and river miles continue to violate federal water quality standards in the 21st century. Surveys of lakes, ponds and reservoirs indicated that about 70 percent were impaired (measured on a surface area basis), and a little more than 70 percent of the nation’s coastlines, and 90 percent of the surveyed ocean and near coastal areas were also impaired.[11] A related 2017 report on the nation's water quality prepared by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stated that 46% of river and stream miles, 21% of the nation’s lakes, 18% of coastal and Great Lakes waters, and 32% of the nation's wetland areas are in "poor biological condition."[12] Agriculture, industry, urban runoff, and other sources continue to discharge waste into surface waters nationwide. This poses huge environmental and health risks given that these water sources are used as drinking water and for agricultural use.

Blastophaga psenes is a wasp species in the genus Blastophaga. It pollinates the common fig Ficus carica and the closely related Ficus palmata.[15] Without a colony or nest, these wasps breed in figs, and the adults live for only a few days or weeks.[16] They locate the fig they wish to pollinate through olfactory senses.[17]
