manually increasing or decreasing the resistance. The English scientist Sir Charles Wheatstone coined the word rheostat, it is derived from the Greek word “rheos” and “-statis” which means a stream controlling device or current controlling device. What is rheostat? The electric current flowing through an electrical circuit is determined by two factors: the amount of voltage applied and the total resistance of the electrical circuit. If we reduce the circuit resistance, the flow of electric current through
Phenformin has been banned from India since 2003 Mechanism of action • Increase uptake and utilization of glucose by skeletal muscle, which reduces insulin resistance • Inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis • Retard intestinal absorption of glucose • Promote insulin binding to its receptor • Reduce plasma glucagon level Advantages: • Besides lowering blood glucose levels, it also lowers LDL, VLDL and elevates HDL Adverse effects Lactic acidosis, vitamin B12 deficiency, anorexia, nausea, flatulence and

term resistance when related to the Jews and the Holocaust meant not only the active resistance against the Nazis, but also the cultural and spiritual resistance that the Jews had. There were many Jews that rebelled and resisted against the Nazi officers of the camp, but some Jews could only commit acts of cultural and spiritual resistance to oppose Nazi tyranny. The Active and Armed Resistance, Cultural and Spiritual Resistance, and Partisans allowed the Jews to practice a form of resistance and
When the word “resistance” comes to mind, what does one think of? Resistance can be portrayed however the beholder chooses to go about it. In Scott’s powerful text, Weapons of the Weak, he has two prominent views on this topic. He gives us a clear distinction of the two terms; everyday resistance and open defiance. As he states, “...what we might call everyday forms of peasant resistance the prosaic but constant struggle between the peasantry and those who seek to extract labor, food, taxes, rents
Rigoberto Portillo Medina Professor A. Jay Adler ENG 111-10 11 December 2015 Engagement in Civil Disobedience Civil disobedience has been a tool involved in many significant reforms or changes in society, and civil disobedience appears to be indispensable for many to accomplish such changes. John Rawls, a Professor of Philosophy at Harvard University, in A Theory of Justice (1971), defines civil disobedience as a “public, nonviolent, conscientious yet political act contrary to law usually done
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Diabetes Mellitus: The food we eat is ultimately broken down into the simplest form of sugar, glucose which passes through blood to various cells in the body and provides energy for the functioning of the cells. Excess glucose is stored in the body for future usage by action of two hormones produced in the pancreas namely Insulin and Glucagon. Insulin stores excess glucose for future use and glucagon converts the stored sugar to glucose in case of emergencies [1], thus
While Josephine Baker was a bit scandalous, her importance should not be overlooked because she did much more than perform.

Her real name was Freda Josephine McDonald, which she changed when she married Willie Baker, whose last name she kept for the rest of her life, even when she got divorced. Her father left, and in order to support
