White blood count 15000 and very tired what does it mean?

An elevated white blood cell count (15000) may indicate an infection or inflammation in the body. Feeling very tired can be a common symptom of an infection, as your body is working hard to fight it off. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

What do you mean by coulomb and exchange integrals?

Here's a guess. When charges are exchanged, they are exchanged at a certain "rate" for the given exchange (whatever it is). In charge exchange in some reactions, as the charges are exchanged, the rate of change goes down because there are less charges than there were to cause exchanges to occur. There is less "exhange pressure" or ionic pressure or, if you like, a lower or reduced ionic gradient to force the exchange. The rate of exchange is declining, and to determine how many exchanges have taken place, we need to integrate to solve the problem. Presto! There is an exchange integral associated with a given charge exchange in a reaction. This will allow us to find out how many charges have been exchanged over a given period. The total number of charges must be written using some kind of units. We could use indvidual charges, but they are so tiny and there are so many of them in just about any "macro reaction" that we'd be using a huge number. We could, instead, use the standard SI unit of charge measurement, the coulomb. And that's about 6.2 x 1018 charges.

What does Antarctic literally mean?

Opposite of Arctic.

Antarctica is a continent located at and around the south pole; it is at the opposite end of the planet from the arctic ocean.

More information:

The word Antarctica comes from the Greek. It means "opposite of the bear", referring to the word Arctos, which is a constellation that can only be seen in the northern hemisphere.

More than 2000 years ago, Greek writers described a large mass of land in the south of the world. Even though they had never seen it, they believed it must exist so that it could 'balance' the land they knew about in the northern half of the world. They named this imagined land 'Anti-Arktos', meaning the 'opposite of the Arctic'.
Antarctic means the opposite of Arctic. The Arctic is the region surrounding the North Pole, so the Antarctic is the region surrounding the opposite pole (which is the South Pole).

Why are speech accents such as a southern drawl so regional and where did they come from in the first place?

(Accents are intrusions of a mother language into an acquired language, as when a Mexican or Russian speaks English. Dialects are variations of a language, such as British English, Australian English, American English and so on with each of these huge dialectical entities having subdialects in them.) According to MSN Encarta, "Dialects develop primarily as a result of limited communication between different parts of a community that share one language. Under such circumstances, changes that take place in the language of one part of the community do not spread elsewhere. As a result, the speech varieties become more distinct from one another. If contact continues to be limited for a long enough period, sufficient changes will accumulate to make the speech varieties mutually unintelligible. When this occurs, and especially if it is accompanied by the sociopolitical separation of a group of speakers from the larger community, it usually leads to the recognition of separate languages. The different changes that took place in spoken Latin in different parts of the Roman Empire, for example, eventually gave rise to the distinct modern Romance languages, including French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian." For specifics on how the Southern dialect emerged and is viewed today, the following is an interesting discussion: http://www.pbs.org/speak/seatosea/americanvarieties/southern/sounds/ For specifics on how the Southern dialect differs from Standarad American English, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_American_English.

What does water resistant to 5 atmospheres mean?

In the case of a watch it means that the crystal and stem seal are capable of resisting pressures of 5 atmospheres. Water pressure builds up rapidly when you swim and it's good to know that your watch can handle normal swimming. You would need to look up pressures at the different depths to find out how far down that is. 1 atmosphere = about10 meters (32 feet) of water. so 5 atmospheres would be 50 meters or 160 feet.

Why is material just falling off of the Sun?

Material probably isn't considered to be "falling off the sun" so much as it is being "blasted out" away from it. The sun has massive gravity pulling everything in. The violence of the plasma physics in the corona and photosphere sometimes cause particles to be "blown out" from the surface. There is actually a continuous stream of material leaving the sun all the time. We sometimes refer to it as the solar wind. And what about the corona ejections! Wow. Links to Wikipedia are provided. There are some really cool pics! And, or course, lots of information.

What is meant by You made your bed now lie in it?

You made a decision of some kind. Now you have to deal with the results of your decision. In other words, the uncomfortable place you now find yourself in is the result of your own choices.

This expression means, now that you have created this situation, you must take responsibility for it. :>)

What the word biological exchange mean?

Biological exchange refers to the transfer of genetic material between different organisms, leading to the exchange of traits and characteristics. This can occur through processes like horizontal gene transfer or sexual reproduction. Biological exchange plays a key role in evolution by introducing new genetic variation into populations.

How cool is biology?

Biology is the bestest ever. Hands down.

Biology is the best... Better than precalculus and chemistry, that's for sure. You can do a lot of fun stuff in biology, like dissect pigs. Very cool. I love it. Bio major here. Cheers. Dumb... or cool. Whatever you like!! If you like animals and big words, then maybe it is for you!!! I like it.
