As we began the interview process, there was immediate chemistry with Steven and we knew we found the right architect for us. My Wife Adriana and I began searching for the perfect architect to help us build our dream home. Michael & Lauren G., Homeowners, Greenwich, CT From an architectural perspective Steven and his team were very easy to work, responsive and had a nice blend of beauty and practicality. We were looking to build a home in Greenwich and Steven was extremely helpful throughout the entire process - reviewing and visiting possible properties, helping determine the suitability of the property for our proposed development plan, putting us in touch with the best land use, engineering, and legal consultants. We will always be grateful to Steven and the team for helping to make building our home a wonderful experience. After living here for 4 1/2 years, I can honestly say that I wouldn’t change a thing. The finished product exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the beautiful design, the clever, efficient use of space, and the exceptional quality of our home. From beginning to end, working with Steven, Niko and Joe was a pleasure, and though our requests were many, and the challenges we encountered were great (it was an in-town build on a small piece of property with lots of restrictions), they managed to give us everything we asked for and more. We were so inspired by what we saw that we decided we wanted to build a home of our own using Steven Mueller Architects - we never even considered using anyone else. There was a bank of windows extending from the top of the house to the bottom, streaming light upon the most magnificent staircase we had ever seen - it was a breathtaking sight. It was designed by Steven Mueller Architects and it was like nothing we had ever seen before. ![]() We must have looked at 50 homes in the Greenwich area, but there was one home that was truly extraordinary. In 2010 my husband and I became empty-nesters and decided it was time to move. Eric & Bella S., Homeowners, Greenwich, CT Working with you all has been a true pleasure. We are truly grateful to Steven, Niko, and the whole SMA team for being tremendous partners throughout this entire project.

Arginase and methylarginine limit the activity of NO synthase to increase NO production to compensate for the destruction of NO. However, the severe chronic hemolysis in SCD saturates the haptoglobin system and depletes both haptoglobin and hemopexin. Multilayered adaptive mechanisms have evolved to clear hemoglobin and heme, including haptoglobin and hemopexin. This activates the innate immune system to produce inflammatory cytokines, promoting adhesion molecule expression on blood cells and endothelial cells. Both cell-free hemoglobin and free heme promote intense oxidative stress and serve as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Cell-free hemoglobin scavenges NO in a rapid, nearly diffusion-limited dioxygenase reaction. Cell-free hemoglobin, free heme, arginase, and methylated arginines reduce nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and promote oxidative stress and inflammation. The most harmful form of hemolysis is intravascular hemolysis, which releases the contents of red blood cells directly into plasma. Most of these responses are adaptive in the short term, but some of these can have maladaptive consequences in the long term. There are many pathophysiologic responses to the hemolysis and to its resulting anemia. Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is characterized by severe chronic hemolysis that gives rise to anemia.

The altitude on the hypotenuse of a right-angled isosceles triangle is half the length of the hypotenuse.In a right-angled isosceles triangle, two angles are always 45 degrees, and the third is 90 degrees (right angle).The altitude from the apex divides the isosceles triangle into two congruent right-angled triangles.One or two isosceles triangles are always similar.Two congruent base angles are also known as the isosceles triangle theorem (angle based). Angles opposite to the equal sides of the isosceles triangle are congruent to each other.Its perpendicular bisects the apex angle and base from the apex angle.The angles between the base of the isosceles triangle are always equal.The angle between equal sides of an isosceles triangle is called the apex angle or vertex angle.The unequal side of the isosceles triangle is known as the base, and the other two equal sides are known as the legs of the triangle.Here are a few characteristics and properties of an isosceles triangle: Take a look before we move to its properties.Įach triangle has basic properties that make it unique from others. On the other hand, right angled triangles, acute angle triangles, and obtuse angle triangles are classified on the basis of their angles.īelow is the figure of an isosceles triangle. For example, scalene, isosceles and equilateral triangles are defined based on their sides. Like the isosceles triangles, other triangles also differ based on their side lengths and angles as they own individual properties. The sum of the internal angle of an isosceles triangle is always equal to 1800. What is an Isosceles Triangle?Ī polygon with at least two sides of equal length, angles, three vertices, and three edges is an isosceles triangle. Right Angle TriangleĪ triangle with only one interior angle of 900 is known as a right-angle triangle. Obtuse Angle TriangleĪ triangle with one interior angle of more than 900 is an obtuse angle triangle. Acute Angle TriangleĪ triangle with all of its interior angles less than 900 is known as an acute angle triangle. Scalene TriangleĪll three sides are unequal in length. They have three vertices, three sides, three angles and are classified into three types according to the lengths of their sides, such as:Īll three sides are equal in length. Types of TrianglesĪ two-dimensional geometric shape made up of three-line segments connected at their endpoints or vertices is known as a triangle. Before discussing the isosceles triangles' properties, let us have a quick overview of the classification and angles of triangles. Interestingly, all types of triangles, such as the isosceles triangle or scalene, form out of straight-line segments with some angles and side length. Therefore, understanding the basic concepts, properties, type, angles, and every other detail is considered important by all the private math tutors and teachers around the globe. ![]() Triangles are one of the most used and one of the first shapes studied in geometry. ![]() At the box-office, its business at the multiplexes will help it generate good revenue, making it a profitable proposition for its investors. Taran Adarsh also gave it 3 out of 5 stars, saying "It's a well-crafted entertainer and lives up to the expectations of its target audience - the youth.

He is placed into the hospital, and the doctors declare him "deaf". Due to her gun not working, she leaves and as she leaves, a disco ball randomly falls on top of AJ's head. She seems that's it, though Karma has a different plan in mind. At the music-signing, Ruhi gets her gun out, though it doesn't seem to work. AJ and Sheena together publish Reggie's music as their own, and it goes onto becoming a big hit. Though Ruhi does not know that AJ isn't alone, he also has his hidden agenda with Reggie's ex-girlfriend Sheena ( Celina Jaitly) who is now a bigshot due to AJ. He is placed into the operation section due to liver failure, and then Ruhi plans to destroy AJ's career just like he did to Reggie. Then Ruhi shows up and takes him to the hospital. While Reggie was in the state of dying, AJ takes all his music-notes and beats and flees from the place. One day, AJ finds out all Reggie's secrets and gets him so drunk that he has liver-fail. Getting him drunk, getting him smoking, is all that AJ has been doing to Reggie, and Reggie even loses control and passes out. Therefore, AJ swears to destroy Reggie's career and hence comes into Reggie's life as his friend. ![]() However, a wannabe singer, Reggie ( Upen Patel) appears who falls in love with Ruhi and woos her before AJ can. AJ is in love with the hot and sexy Ruhi ( Kangana Ranaut) and hopes to tell her how he feels. AJ is one of the finest music artists in the industry and is currently under a stop since he can't think of a new project. Shakalaka Boom Boom follows the tale of a jealous, selfish and greedy music artist, Ayan Joshi aka AJ ( Bobby Deol). The film was partly shot in South Africa. The film is loosely based on the Academy Award winning film Amadeus. Shakalaka Boom Boom is based on conflicts and the power game involved in the functioning of the music industry. The film stars Bobby Deol, Upen Patel, Celina Jaitly and Kangana Ranaut in the lead.

Around the world, all modern zoos and safaris ensure, first, the rights of the animal exhibited or kept in captivity, then the visitors, keepers and at last, the management.ĭr Mohammad Ali Reza Khan. Animals go crazy and do not know how to respond to the alien environment provided in a zoo in Bangladesh, where visitors can be within a few inches of the wild animals, shouting, throwing food or plastic, or polyethene items, etc.ĭhaka or other Bangladesh zoos do not, I repeat, do not uphold the rights of the exhibited animals. solitary confinement of animals is the same as solitary confinement of humans. The wrong environment, wrong animal keeping, and intrusive behaviour of visitors make animals go crazy, and they might become aggressive towards people, irrespective of whether they are visitors or keepers. Is it correct to say confinement for long years can make animals more aggressive? ![]() The spotted hyena in question is reportedly 14 years old. A zoo is a place basically for zoologists, wildlife biologists, and vets – supported by nutritionists, pathologists, conservation, promotion and marketing teams, educationists with biological backgrounds horticultural, maintenance and engineering personnel, and of course a good admin team. Our zoos need a paradigm shift in their attitudes toward zoo management. If lensectomy is being performed at the time of silicone oil fill, preserving the anterior capsule can provide an effective barrier, but it is important to make a central capsulotomy so as not to lose view of the fundus postoperatively when the capsule opacifies. Several steps can be taken intraoperatively to prevent oil prolapse into the anterior chamber. Silicone oil poses additional challenges in the setting of an aphakic eye, as oil migration to the anterior chamber can result in glaucoma and corneal decompensation. ![]() Special attention to the oil meniscus, the infusion line, and the chimney will help prevent overfill. ![]() Inadvertent oil underfilling can be avoided by gradually decreasing air infusion until it is at zero and moving the chimney to different ports to drain off trapped pockets of air. On the other hand, oil overfill can lead to increased IOP, glaucoma, corneal decompensation, and pain. When there is oil underfill, the inferior retina is exposed and prone to the development of PVR and/or recurrent detachments due to insufficient tamponade. 6 Bimanual modes (simultaneous active infusion and extraction) are also available on some vitrectomy units, allowing a regular soft-tipped cannula to be used.Įnsuring adequate silicone oil fill intraoperatively is imperative to achieving sufficient intraocular tamponade. It may be achieved by performing active infusion of silicone oil via a viscous fluid cannula together with passive efflux of the PFO via a soft-tipped backflush needle held at the base of the PFO. This technique requires practice and patience, but is effective in minimizing retinal slippage. Direct PFO-oil exchange requires use of chandelier illumination unless an assistant is present. Direct PFO-oil exchange is useful when there is a risk of retinal slippage, especially in cases of giant retinal tears. Silicone oil may be instilled following a fluid-air exchange or by direct perfluorocarbon (PFO)–silicone oil exchange. Despite its higher rate of emulsification, some surgeons prefer using lower viscosity 1,000 cs silicone oil for its efficiency and ease of instillation and removal, and because it gives surgeons better ability to assess fill in real time by direct observation of silicone oil reflux into the infusion line or chimney. With the use of small-gauge cannulas during vitrectomy surgery, injection and removal of the higher viscosity 5,000 cs silicone oil becomes more difficult. 4 However, higher viscosity silicone oils (5,000 cs) are more resistant to emulsification over time. 5 A similar review of 82 eyes found no significant differences between the two groups with respect to outcomes or complication rates at 1 year. In a review of 325 eyes with complex retinal detachment, no differences were observed in anatomic or visual outcomes between 1,000 cs and 5,000 cs oil. ![]() 4 Heavy silicone oil is denser than water, but these products, such as Densiron 68 and Densiron Xtra (Fluron) and Oxane HD (Bausch + Lomb), are not currently available in the United States.īoth 1,000 cs and 5,000 cs oil have similar surface tensions (21.2 mN/m and 21.3 mN/m, respectively) but differ in molecular weights (37 kDa and 65 kDa, respectively) and viscosities. ![]() Silicone oil is available in 1,000 cs and 5,000 cs forms. Features of silicone oil that make it a useful tamponade agent include surface tension and viscosity. Silicone oil is a manmade synthetic substance composed of repeating units of siloxane (Si-O).
