A Fire Upon The Deep

A Fire Upon the Deep (1992) is a science fiction novel written by Vernor Vinge. It combines superhuman intelligences, well-developed and believable Extraterrestrial life, variable physics, space battles, love, betrayal, genocide, Usenet, and more into an exceptional space opera. A Fire Upon the Deep won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1993.Vinge has been deeply concerned about the technological singularity which makes writing comprehensible and realistic high-tech SF novels nearly impossible. To sidestep the issue, he postulates that the galaxy is divided up into "zones of thought," where near the center of the galaxy, only simple machines and animal-like intelligences are possible; ranging out to the outer edges of the galaxy, where superhuman intelligences, nanotechnology, and faster-than-light (FTL) travel are possible. In other words, the laws of physics vary according to location. Axis

The word axis has several meanings:* In mathematics, axis can mean:** A coordinate axis -- a line representing a coordinate system.* In geometry, special types of axes can include** An axis of symmetry

* In anatomy, the axis (anatomy) is the second cervical vertebra of the spine (anatomy).* In politics, it may refer to:** The Axis Powers of the Second World War** A similar alliance* In Gundam (

Universal Century

), a fictional universe, Axis may refer to: Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is a malignancy of the cervix. Worldwide, it is the second most common cancer of women. It may present with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in advanced stages, which has made cervical cancer the focus of intense screening efforts utilizing the Pap smear. Most scientific studies point to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection as a necessary pre-requisite for development of cervical cancer. Treatment is with surgery (including cryosurgery) in early stages and chemotherapy and radiotherapy in advanced stages of the disease. A effective vaccine for the two most common strains of HPV has recently been licenced (see below). Reproductive Cancers Resource Center from the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals

, What are the risk factors for cervical cancer? Lemierre's Syndrome

'''Lemierre's syndrome (or Lemierre's disease'

) is a disease caused by the bacterium Fusobacterium necrophorum'', and usually affects young, healthy adults.The first symptoms are just a sore throat, but after a couple of weeks this is followed by fever, rigors, swollen cervical lymph nodes and septicemia (infection of the blood) which can cause complications in other parts of the body including abscesses of lung and other organs, kidney failure and also effects on liver and joints if untreated. Cervical Vertebra

Cervical vertebrae (

Vertebrae cervicales

) are the smallest of the true vertebrae, and can be readily distinguished from those of the thoracic or lumbar regions by the presence of a foramen (hole) in each transverse process. The first, second, and seventh cervical vertebrae present exceptional features and must be separately described, though the other four have common characteristics.

These are the general characteristics of the third through sixth cervical vertebrae. The first, second, and seventh vertebrae are extraordinary, and detailed later. Transverse Process

Vertebrae (

singular: vertebra

) are the individual bones that make up the vertebral column (

aka spine) — a flexuous and flexible column. There are thirty-three (33) vertebrae in humans, including the five that are fused to form the sacrum (the others are separated by intervertebral discs) and the four coccygeal bones which form the tailbone

. The upper three regions comprise the remaining 24, and are grouped under the names cervical (7 vertebrae), thoracic (12 vertebrae) and lumbar (5 vertebrae), according to the regions they occupy. This number is sometimes increased by an additional vertebra in one region, or it may be diminished in one region, the deficiency often being supplied by an additional vertebra in another. The number of cervical vertebrae is, however, very rarely increased or diminished. Lesser Occipital Nerve

The lesser occipital nerve is a spinal nerve arising between the first and second cervical vertebrae, along with the greater occipital nerve. It innervates the scalp in the lateral area of the head behind the ear. Disorder in this nerve causes occipital neuralgia.

Cranial nerves

: I olfactory | II optic | III oculomotor | IV trochlear | V trigeminal (V1 ophthalmic - supraorbital, V2 maxillary - sphenopalatine ganglion, V3 mandibular - auriculotemporal - buccal - inferior alveolar ) | VI abducens | VII facial | VIII vestibulocochlear (cochlear, vestibular) | IX glossopharyngeal | X vagus (recurrent laryngeal) | XI accessory | XII hypoglossal PNS

The spinal cord is a part of the vertebrate nervous system that is enclosed in and protected by the vertebral column (it passes through the spinal canal). It consists of nerve cells. The cord conveys the 31 spinal nerve pairs of the peripheral nervous system, as well as central nervous system pathways that innervate skeletal muscles.The vertebral column consists of vertebrae described as belonging to 5 groups (called segments). These segments are (in order from top to bottom): the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae, and the sacrum and coccyx. Nerve Structures of the Spine Contact us Copyright @ 2005.
