It is important to know that the presence of a goiter does not necessarily mean that the thyroid gland is malfunctioning. A goiter can occur in a gland that is producing too much hormone (hyperthyroidism), too little hormone (hypothyroidism), or the correct amount of hormone (euthyroidism). A goiter indicates there is a condition present which is causing the thyroid to grow abnormally. Therefore, Graves’ disease produces a goiter and hyperthyroidism. Multinodular goiters are another common cause of goiters. Individuals with this disorder have one or more nodules within the gland which cause thyroid enlargement. This is often detected as a nodular feeling gland on physical exam.", "Introduction. A goitre (sometimes spelt goiter ) is an abnormal swelling of the thyroid gland that causes a lump to form in the neck. There can be many possible causes, including an under-or overactive thyroid gland, iodine deficiency and, rarely, thyroid cancer (see below). ", "In both cases, the primary symptom is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, a small gland in the front of the neck. While this article focuses on simple goiter, other causes of an enlarged thyroid gland are inflammatory conditions and nodules or tumors. Endemic goiter is very rare in the United States because of the use of iodized table salt; however, it occurs more frequently in other areas of the world.", "Hyperthyroidism is also a cause of goiter-from an overactive thyroid gland, which produces too much thyroid hormone. This usually happens as a result of Graves' disease, also an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immunity turns on itself and attacks the thyroid gland, causing it to swell. 3. In rare cases, enlargement of the thyroid gland is caused by cancer, leading to a diagnosis of thyroid cancer rather than goiter. 3. The degree of swelling, and the severity of symptoms produced by the goiter depend on the individual.", "Goitre which is associated with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism may be present with symptoms of the underlying disorder. For hyperthyroidism, the most common symptoms are associated with adrenergic stimulation: tachycardia, palpitations, nervousness, tremor, increased blood pressure and heat intolerance. ", "Goiter.

Occasionally a simple goiter may cause some difficulty in breathing and swallowing. PubMed Health Glossary.", "Basics. Symptoms. Treatment. Another type, called toxic nodular goiter, results when one or more nodules, or adenomas, develop in the thyroid and trigger excess production of thyroid hormone. In short, a goiter is any enlargement of the thyroid gland. A goiter may be a temporary problem that will remedy itself over time without medical intervention, or a symptom of another, possibly severe, thyroid condition that requires medical attention. Enlargement could also occur with normal production of thyroid hormone, such as a nontoxic multinodular gland. Another type of thyroid growth, called a sporadic goiter, can form if your diet includes too many goiter-promoting foods, such as soybeans, rutabagas, cabbage, peaches, peanuts, and spinach.", "Goiter is a swelling (hypertrophy) of a gland in the neck called the thyroid gland. 1-3 The thyroid gland is situated in front of the windpipe and is responsible for producing and secreting hormones that regulate growth and metabolism.

For example, the study of clouds and of the various forms of hydrometeors involves investigations into the behavior of water in the atmosphere.

Synoptic meteorology is concerned with larger processes such as high-and low-pressure systems and their fronts, and so on up to the study of overall atmospheric circulation for time scales of a few days.", "Mesoscale meteorology is the study of atmospheric phenomena with typical spatial scales between 10 and 1000 km.

There are two bus strips on either side of the board that travel down the length of the board. A breadboard is a base which is used to make organised, neat, simple and temporary circuit connections. Normally, in a circuit, the elements are connected to each other by tw … isting the wire ends. But this kind of twisting and connecting has some drawbacks: 1.", "A breadboard is a solderless device for temporary prototype with electronics and test circuit designs. Most electronic components in electronic circuits can be interconnected by inserting their leads or terminals into the holes and then making connections through wires where appropriate. The breadboard has strips of metal underneath the board and connect the holes on the top of the board. The metal strips are laid out as shown below. Note that the top and bottom rows of holes are connected horizontally and split in the middle while the remaining holes are connected vertically" ], "url": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadboard", "http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-use-a-breadboard-and-build-a-led-circuit--mac-54746", "http://diy.smallbearelec.com/HowTos/Breadboarding/BreadboardIntro.htm", "http://www.techdose.com/electronics/How-to-Use-Solderless-Breadboards/252/page1.html", "http://www.instructables.com/id/How-a-Breadboard-Works/", "http://www.lancasterschools.org/cms/lib/NY19000266/Centricity/Domain/1055/Breadboard.pdf", "https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-use-a-breadboard", "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_a_breadboard_work", "http://wiring.org.co/learning/tutorials/breadboard/" ] }

Most birds keep the same mate for the entire mating season and some stay paired for their entire life. Courtship, generally the male's responsibility, usually entails singing but can also consist of tail drumming or dancing. ", "SPECIES INFORMATION-RINGNECK DOVE-BREEDING NOTES. Pairing When a pair of adult (9-12 months old) Ringneck Doves are placed together it will usually take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months for them to begin the breeding cycle if they are compatible (rarely a problem). The pairing process begins almost immediately when the birds are placed together. Within a few days the parents add seed to the diet of the young. The young then leave the nest three to four weeks later. It is not uncommon to see some pairs lay all year beginning on a new clutch every six weeks. This really is not recommended because it is unhealthy for the birds.", "Spring is the breeding season for most birds, but how do birds mate? Coming together in sexual copulation is essential to fertilize eggs to raise young birds, but the sex act is only a brief part of birds' courtship. How Birds Have Sex. Once a female bird is receptive to a mate – whether it is a new mate every breeding season or simply renewing ties with a life-long partner – the actual mating can take place.

Usually 2 - 3 broods raised each season. The peak of the breeding season is April-July although they may breed as late as October in some areas. Lifespan. The average lifespan of first year birds is 1 - 1.5 years. First year birds have a mortality rate of 60 - 75 percent and adults have a mortality rate of 50 - 60 percent. For any songbird the first year of survival is the most difficult.", "Breeding Diamond Doves. Diamond Doves will breed readily if the proper environment is provided (see Care of Diamond Doves). It is very important for the doves to have a fixed routine if they are to breed readily. They learn when to expect the lights to be turned on in the morning, and off in the evening.

For the first 3 to 4 days after hatching the young are fed only crop milk, an energy rich substance that is produced in the crops of both male and female parents. How long do they live? Adult mourning doves usually live to about 1.5 years old in the wild, but one wild mourning dove lived to 19.3 years old.
