Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome - MayoClinic.com As the name implies, solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is a condition in which, typically, a single ulcer occurs in the rectum — producing signs such as rectal bleeding and straining when you pass bowel movements. Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome affects an estimated one in 100,000 people and can be recurrent. Because solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is rare, it's best diagnosed and treated by a specialist in disorders of the colon and rectum. www.mayoclinic.com /health/rectal-ulcer/DS00694   (232 words)

Gordon's Solitary Bee Page By solitary we mean that a single female, after she emerges from her pupae and is mated by a male, constructs, provisions and lays an egg in each cell in a nest by herself. In most of the solitary bees the cells are lined with wax or varnish-like waterproofing material and sometimes the tunnels of the Colletids are lined with a thin, cellophane-like material. This is because the female makes her nest in a long hole with the cells that contain the eggs placed one after another, this means that the egg she lays first is the last bee to leave the nest next spring, and visa-versa, i.e. www.earthlife.net /insects/solbees.html   (3641 words)

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT TORTURE IN THE U.S. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT TORTURE IN THE U.S. by Bonnie Kerness The use of solitary confinement in U.S. prisons began in 1829, based on the early Quaker religious philosophy that solitary introspection would lead to penitence and reform.

Search The Llewellyn Encyclopedia: Solitary Witch Solitary Witch: In modern Neo-Paganism, a person who practices Witchcraft by himself or herself as opposed to being part of a group (traditionally called a Coven). The Solitary Witch, also known as a Solitary, practices this way out of choice, out of the necessity of keeping their practices private, or having no other Witches in the area with which to practice. Solitary Witch: Some Solitary Witches have begun to call themselves “Solitaires,” which has added a new definition to that word as they are certainly not a gem in a setting by itself, a type of North American thrush, an extinct bird related to the dodo, or a card game played by oneself. www.llewellynencyclopedia.com /term/Solitary+Witch   (211 words)

Witch's Brew Asks:Which do you prefer, a Coven or Solitary and why? I am personally a solitary Witch, for reasons that I don't have access to people in my area that are trustworthy beyond a shadow of a doubt (a trust that I would require to worship, and perform rituals with a group). I prefer solitary, my spirituality is such an evolving issue for me that it is hard for me to share it...I have tried a coven, and I've found that unless you are really close with everyone in your coven it is much preferable being solitary. As one who is solitary, I would love to find others like myself and join a coven..but I have yet to run into anyone into Wicca..I think in a coven people can maybe connect together and become stronger through the association--knowing you are not alone. www.witchs-brew.org /wbasks/coven3.html   (6213 words)

US PRISON TORTURE AND YOU Solitary confinement is the absolute isolation of a human being or an animal in a cell alone --- solitary confinement has been proven to cause sensory deprivation --- and sensory deprivation causes serious psychological damages, resulting in a variety of mental disorders. The Department of Correction's own psychiatrists and psychologists; the Clinical Director of Psychiatry at the esteemed Harvard University; and even the United States Federal Courts have acknowledged and ruled that solitary confinement causes sensory deprivation, which in turn causes "substantial psychological damage." This is not a theory ---it is a fact. Not only do you have to go to long term solitary confinement due to this incident on the tier, but you're told you lost good time, which means that your time in prison has been extended. www.webspawner.com /users/usprisontorture   (2228 words)

Physicists Detect the Undetectable: "Baby" Solitary Waves - UB NewsCenter Unfortunately, the magnitude of the baby solitary waves that Sen predicted was much less than one percent of the energy carried by the entire solitary wave, far below detectable experimental limits. But the experiment conducted at Universidad de Santiago by Sen's co-authors in fact produced "baby" solitary waves that were as large as 15 or 20 per cent of the energy propagated through the entire system. "To observe large baby solitary waves, the idea is that by introducing a large mismatch of mechanical properties at the wall, the reflected solitary wave needs to adapt more dramatically, thus producing such large baby solitary waves," explained Melo. buffalo.edu /news/fast-execute.cgi/article-page.html?article=72790009   (893 words)

Welcome Along with the rise in Paganism is the emergence of a growing number of solitary Pagans. Solitaries may attend classes, festivals, and study groups, but generally they are not directly connected with a continuing, close-knit spiritual group. As with any lifestyle, solitary Pagans may have chosen a solitary practice for numerous reasons, such as simply preferring to work alone, the absence of other Pagans in their area, or many concerns related to "coming out" to family, friends or employers. www.solitary-pagan.net /Welcome.htm   (594 words)

John Scott Russell and the solitary wave Throughout his life Russell remained convinced that his solitary wave (the ``Wave of Translation'') was of fundamental importance, but ninteenth and early twentieth century scientists thought otherwise. He viewed the solitary wave as a self-sufficient dynamic entity, a "thing" displaying many properties of a particle. From the modern perspective it is used as a constructive element to formulate the complex dynamical behaviour of wave systems throughout science: from hydrodynamics to nonlinear optics, from plasmas to shock waves, from tornados to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, from the elementary particles of matter to the elementary particles of thought. www.ma.hw.ac.uk /~chris/scott_russell.html   (571 words)
