4 stages - predementia, early dementia, moderate dementia, advanced dementia. Three causes to explain the cause. The oldest and the one drug therapies are based on is the cholinergic hypothesis which says that it is caused by the reduced synthesis of the neuro transmitter acetylcholine.
|
Alzheimers'
|
|
1991 - the amyloid hypothesis says that amyloid beta deposits causes this disease. it says that the precursor protein (APP) on chromosome 21. People with down syndrome at 40 almost always has this. Also APOE4 causes this to have excess amyloid buildup.
|
Alzheimers'
|
|
the tau hypothesis says that the deposition of amyloid plaques doesn't correlate with neuron loss - hte idea that tau protein abnormalities initiate the disease. when the tau particles form neurofibrillary tangles inside the bodies, then the microtubules disintegrate collapsing the neuron's transport system. tests such as the MMSE (mini-state mental examination) help to test this.

|
electronegativity
|
|
mulliken proposed that the arithmetic mean of the first ionization energy and electron affinity to make this scale. Alfred-Rochow considered that this should be related to the charge experienced by an electron on the "surface" of an atom. The effective nuclear charge could be estimated using Slater's Rules

Deviations from the normal way - there are three types of optical this - spherical - chromatic and defocus. C.F. Gauss named the focal lengths and focal planes. This Gaussian theory is true as long as the angles are small. Maxwell said the propoerties of these are not special propoerties of optical systems but consequences of the supposition of points in a space.

Optical aberrations
|
|
Circular wavefront profiles associated with these may be modeled using Zernike Polynomials. It is impossible to fix multiple planes, as shown by Maxwell.

participates by production of thyroxine (t4) and triiodothyronine (t3) which regulate the reat eof metabolism. It needs iodine and tyrosine to form those. This organ's parafollicular cells produce a hormone aiding in the metabolism of phosphorus and calcium, calcitonin.

If it's spin slows down enough - the mechanism is "turned off" (the "death line"). Some "glitches" are theorized by sudden variations as a result of "starquakes".

Among their uses are determining and confirmation of the existence of gravitational radiation as predicted by general relativity. They allowed people to study a new type of star.

theory of them was first put forward by geologist John Mitchell in a letter to Henry Cavendish. In 1796, Pierre-Simon Laplace put forward the same idea in his Exposition of the System of the World.

|
Chandrasekhar calculated that a body of electron-degenerate matter above 1.44 solar masses would collapse. His theories were opposed by Arthur Eddington, who thought something would stop the collapse.

the photon sphere is a spherical boundary of zero thickness such that photons moving along tangents are trapped in a circular orbits. It has a radius 1.5 times the Schwartzchild radius. The ergosphere is the area in which is it impossible to stand still. (frame dragging) Through the Penrose process, objects can emerge with more energy than they entered.

Hawking showed that these aren't entirely black but emit small amounts of thermal radiation. The results say that these should emit particles in a spectrum (known as Hawking radiation).
