MSN Encarta - Oestrogen The development of female secondary sexual characteristics is partly due to the absence of testosterone, but is also due to the production of small amounts of oestrogens. Oestrogen, steroid hormone involved in the development of secondary sexual characteristics in the female, the regulation of the menstrual cycle and timing of ovulation, and the maintenance of pregnancy. These oestrogens cause growth of the breasts ; the development of the figure (deposition of fat around the hips and thighs); growth of underarm and pubic hair (which is also caused by the androgens); and growth of the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and vagina. uk.encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761572261/Oestrogen.html

UNCTAD/ECDC/SEU/7 of 7 March 1995 The contribution of the primary and especially the secondary sectors to the growth and development of the Palestinian economy has been minimal, as has been their contribution to the growth of the services sector. As strong services sectors are generally interlinked with strong primary and secondary sectors, comparative advantage or competitiveness in services may well be a function of both the overall level of development of an economy and the development of the services sector itself. It is therefore evident that the services sector of the economy of the Palestinian territory has not developed along the path experienced by industrialized countries, reflecting growth in demand for "intermediate" services from elsewhere in the economy, and a growing welfare function of the State. domino.un.org /UNISPAL.NSF/85255e950050831085255e95004fa9c3/b0c14582019345e8802564720058db97!OpenDocument   (17984 words)

eMedicine - Precocious Pseudopuberty : Article by Cydney L Fenton, MD Secondary sexual characteristics are staged using the Tanner growth charts for breasts and pubic hair in girls and pubic hair in boys. Testotoxicosis: Male patients develop progressive secondary sexual characteristics with rapid physical growth and skeletal maturation often accompanied by sexually aggressive behavior within the first 2-3 years of life. Precocious puberty currently is defined as the appearance of any sign of secondary sexual maturation in boys younger than 9 years, in white girls younger than 7 years, and in African American girls younger than 6 years. www.emedicine.com /ped/topic1881.htm   (17984 words)

Tirimbina Rainforest Center This mix of old growth and new growth is a vital component of the biodiversity that is the heart of the rainforest. The Tirimbina rainforest is largely secondary forest, lacking the large mature trees that tower over the rest of the forest. Secondary forest tree species differ from species of primary or undisturbed forest in a number of other ways. www.tirimbina.org /resources/what_kind_of_forest.htm   (17984 words)

Medical Herbs In general, secondary metabolites derive from primary metabolites and are synthesized in the later periods of growth and reproduction -- they are not synthesized continuously during the plant's life. Since secondary metabolites are not considered to be crucial for the growth and development of a plant, their production, from the start, is low. Secondary metabolites, once considered to be side/waste products of the plant, are believed to be the molecules of medicinal value to humans. endeavor.med.nyu.edu /~desait01/herbs.html   (925 words)

SDC-Biotechnology Supplement Secondary metabolites are low molecular weight natural products that have a restricted taxonomic distribution, possess no obvious function in cell growth and are synthesised for a finite period by cells that are no longer undergoing balanced growth. Secondary metabolites are thought to have specialised survival functions in nature, being particularly numerous in organisms occupying densely inhabited environments and are believed to have a prominent role in the coexistence and coevolution of species allowing interaction within a community (Table 1). Primary and secondary metabolism are intimately related, with secondary metabolites depending on precursors and energy generated through primary metabolism (Figure 2). fungus.org.uk /nwfg/greennw.htm   (925 words)

Secondary Markets Offer First-Class Investment Opportunities Raleigh-Durham, N.C. Raleigh-Durham, N.C. was a highly sought-after secondary market during the late 1990s, as the area experienced rapid population growth and earned a reputation as a hotbed of technology. As a secondary market, the city has much in common with its smaller-city peers: a high quality of life, plenty of outdoor offerings, numerous educational and employment opportunities, plus housing prices that are a relative bargain. The multifamily market in Oklahoma City has benefited strongly from a combination of local job growth, stable occupancy, increasing interest rates and rental rates that have increased 3 to 4 percent per year over the past several years—a string of positives drawing investors from across the nation. www.multihousingnews.com /multihousing/reports_analysis/feature_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000740708   (1408 words)

hrwp036.html Growth theorists also distinguish between education (at the primary and secondary levels) and scientific knowledge (acquired in post-secondary education). The growth of human capital and the diffusion of skills across the board, which are strongly emphasized in new growth models, have proved to be very significant in the growth process of Korea. The endogenous growth theory literature is used to specify a model of economic growth for Israel. www.worldbank.org /html/extdr/hnp/hddflash/hcwp/hrwp036.html   (6410 words)

sd43 : school : GLENEAGLE SECONDARY SCHOOL It has been quite a growth process, as students, staff, and parents have collectively come to realize what a Grade 9 to 12 secondary school is like. The school that is emerging from this growth process is one which is first of all an academic institution, but also has developed programs which cater to the variety of skills and abilities of all students. This state of the art structure now is home to upwards of 1500 students in Grades 9 to 12, and Gleneagle is now an established member of the Secondary school community of District 43. www.sd43.bc.ca /schools_main/secondary/gleneagle/default.htm   (203 words)

LABOR MARKET In a context in which participation in the labor market has exceeded the natural rate of growth, there have been some cities where this ratio was higher than the average for all conglomerates. The relative stability of the labor force participation rate (38.1% and 38.6% in 1998 and 1999, respectively) applied to a total population that increased 2.3% has implied growth in the supply of labor of more than 134 thousand (3.6% year-on-year). The number of those not having completed their secondary education is higher among poor homes (33% compared to 23.6%). www.mecon.gov.ar /report/report31/labor.htm   (203 words)

NZ Beauty: Your Resource for Beauty Therapy in NZ The reason for this is that waxing secondary sex characteristic hair does not change regrowth for the worse. Waxing can be used for hair removal on all areas of the body, but is recommended for secondary sex characteristic hair (the hair that grows during puberty)- underarms, bikini line, women's lower leg and male body hair. Factors like the ageing process, (hormonal changes at puberty and menopause) and pregnancy, affect hair growth rate changes, so it is important to choose a method of hair removal which does not accelerate hair growth. www.nzbeauty.co.nz /pro_depillatory.htm   (2109 words)

IngentaConnect SHP-2 Can Suppress Transformation Induced by Platelet-Derived Gro... receptors of platelet-derived growth factor occurs by phosphorylation of at least 10 intra-cytoplasmic tyrosine residues and their subsequent association of secondary signaling molecules with Src homology 2 (SH2) domains. Although the role of several of these secondary signaling molecules in mitogenesis has become increasingly clear, their roles in morphological transformation are not as well defined. Cotransfection of a dominant negative mutant of the SHP-2 gene and the PDGF B chain gene into mouse fibroblasts that only poorly formed foci with the PDGF B chain alone resulted in larger and more prominent foci. www.ingentaconnect.com /content/ap/ex/2000/00000254/00000002/art04741   (255 words)

PriceWaterhouseCoopers - Industry Overview Construction Sector A review of the Minister’s presentation makes it obvious that this industry is intended to propel the growth and job creation in the year 2000. Should the Government fail to achieve its seemingly ambitious revenue targets it is likely, as was the case in 1998/1999, that this expenditure programme will be curtailed with the resultant adverse impact on job creation and growth. This sector is scheduled to receive a substantial injection out of the $1.884 billion earmarked for the Public Sector Investment Programme. ethnonet.gold.ac.uk /illustrations/ch5illustrations/53cariblink/budget2000/construction.htm   (213 words)

Overview of Regional Secondary Education Reforms in the Nineties Almost all countries in the Asia region have experienced substantial growth in secondary school enrollments over the past decade (The World Bank, 2001). However, secondary education is a weak link in the education chain in many countries, even though an increasing number of children are going on to secondary schools. The reform and renewal of secondary school curricula is clearly a priority for all the countries. www.ginie.org /cstudies/indonesia/reformsasiapacific.htm   (748 words)

Secondary metabolite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Secondary metabolites are those chemical compounds in organisms that are not directly involved in the normal growth, development or reproduction of an organism. Since secondary metabolites often created by modified primary metabolite synthases, or "borrow" substrates of primary metabolite origin, these categories should not be interpreted as saying that all molecules in the category are secondary metabolites (for example the steroid category), but rather that there are secondary metabolites in these categories. This will concern secondary metabolites in plants, bacteria, fungi and many marine organisms (sponges, tunicates, corals, snails). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Secondary_metabolite   (327 words)

Aktuelle Wetterinformationen - Meteorologie Kvln A direct secondary vertical circulation is induced to counteract frontogenetical processes by adiabatic effects and to limit growth of the front. A comparison between different approximations of the secondary circulation equations shows that ageostrophic advections pointing in the direction of the current, can be neglected in the underlying equations, while the other component of the horizontal ageostrophic advection plays a main role in the secondary circulation. The corresponding secondary circulation appears with lower intensity, too and no change of sense of rotation is found. www.uni-koeln.de /math-nat-fak/geomet/meteo/forschung/abstracts/wefers/promotion-e.html   (411 words)

Botany online: Cell Wall - Secondary Walls The disadvantage is that the bonds are irreversible, a stretching of the wall - and a growth of the cell - are impossible; strongly lignified cells die sooner or later. The best-known deposited substance is perhaps lignin (discovered in 1839 by A. PAYEN as the fraction of cell walls insoluble in acids). Instead are other components deposited, which are sometimes characteristic for certain cell groups or tissues. www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de /b-online/e26/26c.htm   (601 words)

Vaginal yeast infection This happens when the environment (the vagina) has certain favorable conditions that allow growth and nourishment of Candida albicans. Infection is common among women who use estrogen-containing birth control pills and among women who are pregnant. Repeat infections that occur immediately following therapy, or a persistent yeast infection that does not respond to therapy, may be the first or, at least, an early sign that an individual is infected with HIV. www.healthscout.com /ency/article/001511.htm   (601 words)
