and chemical admixtures were prepared. Mix workability decreased significantly as the proportion by weight of feathers or ground feathers increased from 5% to 20%. Boards containing 5% to 10% fiber and/or ground feather by weight showed comparable strength and dimensional stability to commercial wood fiber-cement composites of similar thickness and density. Stiffness, flexural strength, and dimensional stability of the feather-cement boards decreased as the proportion of feathers was increased

followed by delayed developmental milestones. The myopathy has been differentiated diagnostically on the basis of their morphologic characteristics and includes nemaline myopathy, central core disease, myotubular (centronuclear) myopathy and congenital fiber type disproportion. In most of these disorders, there are 3 distinct subtypes: severe infantile, benign congenital and adult onset forms. The mode of inheritance and gene loci are variable, although each disorder shares the common clinical features

THE RETINA: RECEPTOR CELLS The receptor cells are the RODS and CONES. Each consists of: * A process consisting of outer and inner segments. * An external fiber connecting the process with the soma. * A soma or body containing the nucleus. * An inner fiber that resembles an axon and synapses with a bipolar cell. Rods are extremely sensitive to light and can react to a single photon. The light is absorbed by the pigment rhodopsin and the energy acquired results in

a portion of the muscle fibers contracted at the above mentioned voltage while the other fibers were relaxed. Given the small force produced at this low voltage (0.0370 N) in comparison to that of the voltage that resulted in the largest contraction (0.1940N) less than 20 percent of the fibers contracted at this voltage. Question 3 The smallest voltage that produced the largest contraction would be that of 0.8000V. During this stimulus 100 percent of the muscle fibers were contracted because at
