How To Your Track Baby Development

Track Your Baby Development


Babies grow and learn at an amazing rate, astonishing their parents and everyone around them. All parents, especially new ones, want to know that their child is developing at an appropriate rate. Track baby development as your fetus or infant grows.

Instructions


  • Learn how your child is growing before he or she is even born. Wonderfully-illustrated books depict fetal development month-to-month during pregnancy. You can watch in amazement, learning when your growing baby gets a heartbeat, moves its fingers and toes, gets eyelashes and more. You'll feel more connected to the process knowing how the baby is developing through the pregnancy. In addition to books, you can view similar images online.
  • Subscribe to an e-mail service that sends you regular updates related to your child's fetal or infant development. Fetal development programs tend to send you weekly messages, since so many changes are rapidly influencing your child's growth; new things are happening all of the time. You can continue subscribing after the baby arrives, allowing you to look for signs of development and milestones that occur each month as the baby grows.
  • Read books that track prenatal and postnatal development. These can offer some of the most thorough descriptions, allowing you to pace yourself and absorb all of the information necessary to understand your child's development. Many have actual charts to follow, and you can record advancements with your child on a calendar.
  • Consult your obstetrician or pediatrician to learn more about appropriate baby development. Examinations of your body, before the child is born, and of the baby, once he or she has arrived, are helpful for the physician to determine normal, or abnormal, development. Ask what type of development tracking these doctors recommend.
  • Keep a pregnancy journal or start a baby book that records important changes during pregnancy, such as the first time the baby moves, or during the infant's new life, such as the first smile, first trip, first time sitting up alone, etc. These trackings are helpful to share with your physician, and they also create wonderful memories to share with the child when he or she gets older.

What Is Melting Points

Most organic compounds have melting points below 200 ºC. Some decompose before melting, a few sublime, but a majority undergo repeated melting and crystallization without any change in molecular structure. When a pure crystalline compound is heated, or a liquid cooled, the change in sample temperature with time is roughly uniform. However, if the solid melts, or the liquid freezes, a discontinuity occurs and the temperature of the sample remains constant until the phase change is complete. This behavior is shown in the diagram on the right, with the green segment representing the solid phase, light blue the liquid, and red the temperature invariant liquid/solid equilibrium. For a given compound, this temperature represents its melting point (or freezing point), and is a reproducible constant as long as the external pressure does not change. The length of the horizontal portion depends on the size of the sample, since a quantity of heat proportional to the heat of fusion must be...

What Is Atomic And Molecular Orbitals

A more detailed model of covalent bonding requires a consideration of valence shell atomic orbitals. For second period elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, these orbitals have been designated 2 s , 2p x , 2p y   & 2p z . The spatial distribution of electrons occupying each of these orbitals is shown in the diagram below.   Very nice displays of orbitals may be found at the following sites: J. Gutow, Univ. Wisconsin Oshkosh R. Spinney, Ohio State  M. Winter, Sheffield University The valence shell electron configuration of carbon is 2 s 2 , 2p x 1 , 2p y 1  & 2p z 0 . If this were the configuration used in covalent bonding, carbon would only be able to form two bonds. In this case, the valence shell would have six electrons- two shy of an octet. However, the tetrahedral structures of methane and carbon tetrachloride demonstrate that carbon can form four equivalent bonds, leading to the desired octet. In order to explain this covalent bonding,...

Uses OF Alkynes In Nature And Medicine

-
Alkynes in nature and medicine According to Ferdinand Bohlmann, the first naturally occurring acetylenic compound, dehydromatricaria ester, was isolated from an Artemisia  species in 1826 . Polyynes, a subset of this class of natural products, have been isolated from a wide variety of plant species, cultures of higher fungi, bacteria, marine sponges, and corals.  Some acids like  tariric acid  contains an alkyne group. Diynes and triynes, species with the linkage RC ≡ C-C ≡ CR' and RC ≡ C-C ≡ C-C ≡ CR' respectively, occur in certain plants ( Ichthyothere , Chrysanthemum ,  Cicuta ,  Oenanthe  and other members of the  Asteraceae  and  Apiaceae  families).  Some examples are  cicutoxin , oenanthotoxin ,  falcarinol  and  carotatoxin . These compounds are highly bioactive, e.g. as  nematocides .  1-Phenylhepta-1,3,5-triyne is illustrative of a naturally occurring triyne. Alkynes occ...
