Menstruation is the periodic shedding (usually monthly) of the lining of the womb. Generally speaking, menstruation starts during puberty around 10–16 years old and continues until the menopause about 45–55 years old. An average menstrual cycle is about 28 days, but it may vary between 24–35 days. According to a study most women have more than 500 periods in a lifetime. Any abnormality of the a...

" Ironically enough," he writes, " it is_ in the outcast, disinherited, vagabond, criminal, defective, insane and generally abnormal elements of humankind that genius germinates...

Paraimmunity, as a reactive phenomenon of the host’s organism, induced by various heterogeneous antigens – due to some common antigenic components – appears alongside specific immunity. In bacterial and viral immunology paraimmunity is better known and studied than in parasitic immunology. It is known that, generally speaking, paraimmunity appears simultaneously with specific immunity, induced ...

The first stage in growth is' the "germination" oi the plantedsett. This implies, generally speaking, the growth of roots from the sett-the sett rootsof the buds, and lastly the production of roots from the base of the young shoot-the shoot roots. The relative importance of these two types of root is worth considering in detail, as it sheds some light on not only the question of good "germinati...

Gesture and speech are two very important behaviors for virtual humans. They are not isolated from each other but generally employed simultaneously in the service of the same intention. An underlying PaT-Net parallel finite-state machine may be used to coordinate them both. Gesture selection is not arbitrary. Typical movements correlated with specific textual elements are used to select and pro...
