Yes. The electric field of sufficiently intense microwaves can ionize any gas by accelerating free electrons (there are always a few around) to sufficient energy that when they collide with atoms, more electrons are released. The electron density can then grow exponentially unit the entire gas is ionized. It requires less intensity if the gas is at very low pressure (a few torr). Otherwise, the mean free path between collisions can be insufficient for the electrons to accelerate to high enough energy to release more electrons when they collide with atoms. If the pressure is too low, however, they don’t collide often enough to cause the gas to ionize. There is an optimum pressure.

Can electricity break down CO2?
Running a current through water will break the water into hydrogen and oxygen, and scientests are now using microwaves to decompose hydrocarbons in rubber and plastic.
Is there some way to break down CO2 in the air through a direct application of energy (electrical current, microwaves, x-rays, heat, whatever…)?
I don’t think electrical current will.
CO2 is held by strong covalent bonds. An immense mount of heat will be needed to break the bonds.
Body Muscle When does the body start burning muscle?
As an example, let’s say a person has more fat than muscle. They do 30 min of cardio, and the body has used up all their carbohydrate fuel. Then the body will start using fat? or muscle?
If muscle, why does the body use muscle before fat? Isn’t fat storage for intensity?
Muscle is burnt off when there is no fat to burn. It’s not that you will get skinny before you get muscle stripped. Muscle is burnt off when all of the calories fresh in your system are all burnt out. That’s why people are told to have six medium-small meals a day so that their body can always have enough fuel to go through a few workouts.

Will running UP HILL build lower and upper body muscle?
I run up hill about once or twice a week and i do 3 sets of 10, which is 30 total. I can’t tell you how steep the hill is because i’m not into geography but from my point of view, it is a pretty steep hill.
So will running up hill build upper body muscle? like your back, abs, chest, ect, and will it make your muscles more defined?
Thanks.
No, muscle is created when it exerts force against resistance and the upper body wouldn’t be doing that running up a hill. The lower body would be doing some as it is working against gravity to push the body up the incline. Finally, to determine the how steep the hill is, that is its incline, go to mapmyrun.com where you will be able to get to map of the hill and if you track your run it will give you the incline.

Interactive Health Is Mr Obama trying to use SCARE TACTICS to pass his Health Care reform? No need to debate, just pass it?
Just like they did with the Stimulus Bill?
“If we don’t act, if we let this moment pass, we could see this economy sputter along for decades,” Obama said at the event that included questions from audience members and through interactive networks such as Twitter and Facebook.
Answer this one too…
Obama is hoping his Fear Tactics will work and that is why he is avoiding stating the FACTS.
Did you notice during his Town Hall Meeting today he Hugged a White Women. Remember the Stimulus Town Hall Meeting where he hugged a black woman. SO who is next to be hugged?
As time goes on Obama will have a harder time pushing failed bills through. REMEMBER he doesn’t have Republican support and he needs it as he will blame rep’s when his plan fails.
Health Care is Failing in Mass. WHY would Obama allow that to happen throughout the USA? WHO is he trying to make RICH? HMMM GE comes to mind. Contracts.

What is a safe all natural disinfectant for granite?
I’m trying to switch over to all natural, homemade cleaning products, but want to make sure that what I am using on my kitchen counters disinfects well so I don’t have to worry about salmonella and other germs. I’ve seen some recipes that use vinegar, but I have granite counter tops. Is there a recipe that will both kill germs and be safe to use on granite?

I want to apply to a Bath and Body Works store, but I don’t know if they would allow a nose piercing… Anyone here with actual experience? I’ve never actually seen any sales associate in the store with facial piercings.
No it is not allowed. The only piercings allowed are two in each ear.

Where is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil gone after Adam & Eve ate from it?
We know that God had commanded Adam & Eve not to eat from the Tree of the knowledge of good & evil but they ate and got driven out from the Garden of Eden. God protected and restricted the Tree of Life to mankind eversince. But can you explain where this forbidden tree of the knowledge of good & evil is existing now?
We don’t know any of this to be true… and you can’t prove it ever happened…

Level Microwave
My microwave only cooks on High. I have followed directions for power level; doesn’t work.?
I bought a Emerson Microwave, 900 watts. It has never worked on different power levels.
either it is broken, or you don’t understand the directions.
Different power levels are are not really different powers, they just change the duty cycle. So if you set a 50% power, the microwave will cycle for, say, 5 seconds ON, and 5 seconds OFF, repeating.

massage therapy, PTA, and cafe business owner and vending machine router?
Hey you guys I’m 22 and I graduated highschool 2003 I had many conflicts with my goals. I have been to both vocational schools and colleges and unfortunately didn’t find a spark in what career I wanted to get into. I have did some soul searching and researching and have been out of a job because I despised all food industry jobs that I had. I’m at the conclusion of feeling a good heart to help others with back problems that’s why I considered massage therapy! umm and then I’m thinking of joining a community college and doing the PTA progam and as I build myself up I want to end up owning my own cafe! life is full of decisions and I feel like I been soul searching enough on my careers I need your advice. I mean I love a job where I can work independently and not to grind and move too fast and I can work in a soft structured environment where people aren’t screaming at me or telling me I’m doing a bad job I’m tired of that! i’m empathetic,kindhearted,peoplepleaser,easygoing nice
Its great to have many aspirations toward many things of interest but I believe it all comes down to some basic goal setting. If you are serious about PTA & MT as professions you would like to explore, then I would recommend working toward that now. The combination is good. It allows you to work in a variety of settings where you can care for people including clinics, hospitals and massage establishments. However, until you establish your own business, there will always be people that will be telling you what to do. Although, in a healthcare profession, I’m sure it is not as harsh as a food service entity. As far as the cafe, you may be inviting back into your life the same type of people you are trying to avoid, even though you are the owner; however, this time they have the potential to destroy your business if not managed properly. This includes your vendors, your customers and your employees. Some people love to take advantage of the empathetic and kindhearted. I would suggest finding good role models to learn from in the types of settings you would like to work. Seeking out successful business owners and learning from them may be a good direction as well. They may have some wisdom to share that would typically not be taught in any classes nor be “written on the wall.”
Body Benefits What are the benefits of heavy upper body weight training combined with bicycle riding?
Is this a good thing? i did notice i dropped a couple sizes in my waist yet ive gained over 20 pounds since early july. I guess muscle really does weigh more than the fat that was there before. Im particularly interested in upper body muscle mass and mostly just toning of the legs as i have naturally always had athletic large calves and thighs. Anything else i can do to enhance my progress?
Hi If you want to gain muscle mass then you need to include the three main muscle building exercises in to you weight training routines. The bench press, Squats and Deadlifts these will really pack on muscle, use heavy weights with low reps ( always have a spotter for heavy weights). Bike riding is a great cardio exercise to go alongside weight training and will keep your body fat percentage down, which will enhance your muscle definition.
Forget about checking your weight, for as you have found out muscle does weigh more then fat, use a tape measure and a mirror as you progression guide.
Stick to a healthy diet and you will see the results.
I hope this helps.

Does the body become resistant to the benefits of Allopurinol over time?
I have been on it for about 10 months. I’ve been chronic for about 5 years, but had a near death (from the pain) gout attack a year ago that lasted a month, and thus I got on da pill. It seems like it may be losing its effectiveness, though. But to be sure, I have been testing the limits a little lately yet still drinking tons of water. No alcohol either.
300mg every morning.
Allopurinol is an inhibitor that suppresses the degradation of purine to uric acid. Everyday, there are millions of body cell die off and the breaking down of the DNA structure produces huge amount purine. Part of these purines will be used by the body for the formation of new body cells while the rest of it will be sent to the liver to be further broken down to uric acid for disposal through urine.
When just started to take Allopurinol, the drug works fine in delivering the promised result, lower down your blood serum uric acid level. But the doctors forgot to tell you that this effect is only temporary.
Here is the flow of the purine disposal cycle, excess purines enter the liver to be degraded to uric acid, and the the uric acid is carried by the blood to the kidneys for disposal. There are 2 possible causes of hyperuricemia, the increased purine input or decreased uric acid output. If you have cut down or abstain from the high purine diet but your blood uric acid level still remains high, then the major cause of your gout is because of the weakened kidney function which results in the decrease of uric acid disposal capability.
Taking Allopurinol can only hold the un-degraded purine in the liver for certain period of time, eventually your body still have to get rid of the purine. If it cannot get rid of it through conversion to uric acid, it will force it to find some alternative channels such as through the skin to get rid of the unwanted purine, and that is why some gout patients experience skin rashes after they start taking Allopurinol.
And since the liver is holding up huge amount of purine, you CANNOT stop the consumption of Allopurinol, at least not suddenly stop it. This is because once the suppressing factor is removed, hell break loose! The liver is start churning out huge amount of uric acid and cause a serious spike of uric acid level that result in series of serious gout attack.
Sad but true, none of those gout drugs can remove the urate crystals that have already formed inside the gouty joints. As long as those tiny nasty crystals are still there, you will alway have chronic gout attack. You cannot depend on those chemical drugs for the rest of your life for those chemical residues will only further destroy your kidneys and send you to dialysis unit.
If conventional medicine works, you won’t be suffering from the awful gout pain for years. It is time to give yourself a chance to try some alternative solution which makes more sense than the crazy pills.
