	USGS Toxic Substances Hydrology Program
		The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life.
		Its goal is to provide the unbiased earth science information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nation's surface and ground waters that is needed to avoid human exposure, to develop effective remedial strategies, and to prevent further contamination.
		Toxic substances enter the estuary in agricultural and urban runoff and in discharges from municipal wastewater facilities and industries.

	The Early History of the Basset Hound
		One was an animal of larger build, heavier boned, low to the ground, with harsher coat that was either red and white or heavily marked tri-color.
		They were very heavy, with much bone and low to the ground.
		These dogs were much bigger than dachshunds "with black and white bodies and rich tan heads, more beautiful than Dachs, with soft, dreamy eyes," wrote Everett Millais ten years later in an article in the April 1884 Kennel Review.

	Protoplasm - Wikpedia
		The idea that protoplasm is divisible into a ground substance called cytoplasm and a structural body called the nucleus reflects the more primitive knowledge of cell structure that preceded the development of powerful microscopes (see Electron microscope).
		It is also sometimes termed bioplasm (Beale; meaning the essential "substance" of living matter within a cell) and distinct from non-living cell components lumped under ergastic substances.
		Protoplasm is the substance inside the membrane of a living cell.

	Ground Rules
		Ground rules may cover the behavior of the disputants, the role or behavior of any third party (e.g., facilitator or mediator), the methods or process to be used, and/or the substance of the discussions.
		For example, behavioral ground rules for negotiation or mediation may be that people must talk one at a time, that they must listen carefully to their opponents' statements, or that they must treat each other with dignity and respect.
		Emphasis on ground rules stems from a belief that all parties in a dispute resolution process should be treated equally and fairly.

	On "The Pangolin"
		Enormous salivary glands furnish an abundant supply of a thick, sticky substance to the surface of the tongue, which holds the insects captive.
		She again uses graceful to describe the movement of the pangolin which is "the not unchain-like machine-like/form and frictionless creep of a thing/made graceful by adversities, con-/ /versities." Moore sees the pangolin as moving with a steady, methodical rhythm which suits its lifestyle which is filled with both difficulties and contradictions.
		In "The Pangolin" (1936) the anteater of the title is the focal center of the poet's thoughts, affording the means by which she works through to a new definition of man.

	Re: Of what use are Tannins to a tree and and how do they help a tree?
		Ergastic substances can be found in the cell wall, in ground substance, and in organelles, including vacuoles.
		Ergastic substances are passive products of the protoplast, some are storage products, and some are waste products.
		These substances can appear and disappear at different times in the life of a plant cell.

	No Free Lunch, Part 3 of 3: Proof
		But the idea that the biogenic theory is a hoax has been repeated so often in forums and blogs that it has gained a lot of ground and it has taken on the appearance of an obvious fact for some people.
		The answer is a resounding "yes." Think, for instance, of the case of urea, a common organic substance produced by mammalian kidneys.
		2 The isotopic ratios of a substance (particularly the ratio of carbon and hydrogen isotopes) provide us with a profile of the substance, a sort of isotopic fingerprint which indicates how the substance was generated.

	Notti del terrore, Le (1980)
		I suppose the praise for this film comes from those who like their horror to be mindless, but personally this was a little too devoid of substance for me. The gore was not even believable enough to be of interest, and I found the actions of the humans to be irritating.
		Romero attempted to portray this somewhat realistically in "Dawn of the Dead" (the scene on the stairway in the tenement at the beginning of the film) but Fulci made it campy in "Zombie" (the return of the throat-less Susan) and now "Burial Ground" takes it to ludicrous heights with the breast-ripping.
		Somehow the mother, who knows people are returning as zombies and who knows her son has been killed, is so overjoyed to have her zombified son return that she embraces him and even offers him her breast to suckle, in front of everyone no less.

	Homeopathy: The Ultimate Fake
		If the original substance is soluble, one part is diluted with either nine or ninety-nine parts of distilled water and/or alcohol and shaken vigorously (succussed); if insoluble, it is finely ground and pulverized in similar proportions with powdered lactose (milk sugar).
		Any study claiming to demonstrate effectiveness of a homeopathic medication should be rejected out-of-hand unless it includes a list of all the substances present in concentrations equal to or greater than the purported active ingredient at every stage of the dilution process, along with a rationale for rejecting each of them as a suspect.
		Moreover, if it were true, every substance encountered by a molecule of water might imprint an "essence" that could exert powerful (and unpredictable) medicinal effects when ingested by a person.

		These parenchyma cells specialize is storing contents as energy in the form of starch and lipids, as ergastic substances in the form of crystals, and many other substances. The following pictures are of parenchyma cells as wells as some detail on starch as the stored substance.
		Below are pictures depicting the different regions of the ground tissue system, including the 1)chlorenchyma tissue, the 2) storage parenchyma cells and their contents, and the 3) aerenchymous center of the stem.
		The aerenchymous center functions primarily as an air channel for gases to be transported from the aerial plant parts down to the water-submerged regions of the plant. This demonstrates a design perfectly fit for the environmental needs of the plant.

	The Physics of Aristotle vs. the Physics of Galileo
		For example, stripped to its essentials, Aristotle believed that a stone fell to the ground because the stone and the ground were similar in substance (in terms of the 4 basic elements, they were mostly "earth").
		He also taught that dynamics (the branch of physics that deals with motion) was primarily determined by the nature of the substance that was moving.
		In addition, Galileo's extensive telescopic observations of the heavens made it more and more plausible that they were not made from a perfect, unchanging substance.

	Chondroitin
		Chondroitin sulfate is one of the most vital of the compounds in connective tissue which are responsible for building and supporting the ground substance of cartilage.
		It combines some of the most potent agents known for maintaining and rebuilding the matrix of collagen and connective tissue that forms the ground substance of cartilage, including: chondroitin sulfat, shark cartilage, and bovine cartilage.
		Shark cartilage is a natural source of proteoglycans, compounds responsible for building and strengthening the ground substance of cartilage.

	THE CONNECTIVE TISSUES
		The connective tissues generally consist of an indigenous population of cells surrounded by fibers and an amorphous ground substance.
		Proteoglycans, a chief component of the ground substances of connective tissues are also synthesized by these cells.
		Dense Fibrous Connective Tissues - contain an abundance of compactly arranged fibers with fewer cells than in loose C.T. There is also little space for ground substance.

	Globe In Transit
		A paragraph in the Advertiser of Montgomery, Ala., states that on November 21, numerous batches of a spider-web substance was seen floating in the air and falling from the trees and leaves to the ground.
		These tufts, of which some were the size of a fist, broke up slowly and clung onto branches of trees or fell on the ground.
		A light pole had been knocked to the ground, thus cutting off the power to the farm, but what was even more puzzling was the fact that a bull calf had seemingly disappeared into thin air.

	THE PERMAFROST PAPERS
		Although permafrost is, by definition, permanently frozen ground, the exact subfreezing temperature and seasonal variability of temperature will depend upon mean annual temperature, thermal diffusivity of the ground substance, and depth beneath the ground.
		The continuous permafrost region is defined as that area wherein subfreezing ground exists at some depth for all points in the region.
		Permafrost temperatures may be adequate to preserve identity, however, if used as an adjunct to three other techniques: (1) Chemical preservation (2) Isolation from oxygen and (3) Dehydration.

	Chapter 60. Between Heaven and Earth. § 1. Not to touch the Earth. Frazer, Sir James George. 1922. The Golden Bough
		Hence in order to preserve the charge from running to waste, the sacred or tabooed personage must be carefully prevented from touching the ground; in electrical language he must be insulated, if he is not to be emptied of the precious substance or fluid with which he, as a vial, is filled to the brim.
		As priest of the Earth he may not sit on the bare ground, nor eat things that have fallen on the ground, nor may earth be thrown at him.
		Warriors, again, on the war-path are surrounded, so to say, by an atmosphere of taboo; hence some Indians of North America might not sit on the bare ground the whole time they were out on a warlike expedition.

	Connective Tissue
		Connective tissues contain a variety of cells embedded in a matrix of fibers and ground substance, which consists of water, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
		The characteristic loose, irregular make-up of the tissue's fibers and the large amount of ground substance found in loose connective tissue make the tissue very flexible and, consequently, permits movement among the non-connective tissues it connects.
		For example, loose connective tissue holds internal organs in place in the body cavity, lines the heart and abdominal cavities, binds individual organs or parts of organs together, and attaches the skin to the tissues underneath.

	Mucous Connective Tissue
		Surrounding the vessels is an abundant mucous connective tissue with scattered fibroblast cells and randomly arranged collagen fibers in a large amount of ground substance.
		There is more ground substance and fewer fibers in mucous connective tissue than in adult connective tissue.
		Observe fibroblasts in full face (whole nucleus and nucleoli are visible)or in side profile (cell appears fusiform in shape and shows little nuclear detail).
