The first tyrannosaurs, which were human- to horse-size, originated about 170 million years ago during the mid-Jurassic. rex may be big, but its predecessors were small. rex's teeth were wide and somewhat dull (rather than being flat and daggerlike), allowing the teeth to withstand the forces exerted by struggling prey, the study found. Specifically, the dinosaur's front teeth gripped and pulled its side teeth tore flesh, and its back teeth diced chunks of meat and forced food into the throat. But not all of the dinosaur's teeth served the same function, according to a 2012 study in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences. rex had a mouth full of serrated teeth the largest tooth of any carnivorous dinosaur ever found was 12 inches (30 centimeters) long.

This affordable upright vacuum from Bissell is a fan favorite on Amazon with a 4.6-rating. Some customers do note that the vacuum can be heavy. Online reviews appreciate the vacuum's powerful suction, clean smell thanks to the odor technology and flexibility when it comes to the amount of surfaces it can tackle. This is ideal for cleaning furniture, windowsills and more - plus makes transporting the vacuum up and down flights of stairs less of a hassle. Odor Neutralizer Technology limits odors inside the vacuum, according to the manufacturer, and you can even turn the upright vacuum into a stick vacuum. The vacuum also has a self-cleaning brush roll that prevents hair clogging. ![]() Its two brush roll system is able to dig deep into carpets as well as pick up dirt, debris and hair from hard floors. While we haven't tested this model in our Lab, it has similar features to our previous pick for best overall, the APEX Upright Vacuum Cleaner, which has since been discontinued by Shark. If you prefer bagless vacuums, but still want a model that filters out tiny particles, this sealed vacuum with a HEPA filter is a great option. From all of our testing and data tabulation, we chose these models as the best vacuum cleaners of 2023. Because we test each model three times for cleaning performance and suction, our latest test of 20 models quickly multiplied into 320 separate tests. We consider bagged and bagless, corded and cordless models and test how easy each one is to maneuver, what tools it comes with and its overall performance. Over the years, we have tested hundreds of different types of vacuum cleaners, putting together lists of the the best robot vacuums, top-performing HEPA vacuums, best-in-class handheld vacuums and more. That's why the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab is here to help. While most vacuum cleaners should work well on low- to medium-pile carpets and bare floors, choosing the best vacuum cleaner for you and your home means also thinking about the surface(s) you’ll be vacuuming.

It has also added visual indicators of syncs in progress, and has added a number of new action buttons on the web to make things like uploads, linking, downloading, and access to versions easier. On its web interface, it has added an at-a-glance thumbnail view option, which works well for photos, for example. That being said, Cubby is starting to make some improvements. Plus, on mobile Dropbox offers nice tweaks, like automatic photo uploads and a photo gallery-like experience for browsing those images. As to how it stacks up, for now, it’s a serviceable alternative to the other offerings already available, although its software lacks a bit of the slickness of Dropbox and Google Drive. It’s also unknown whether file sync will remain free indefinitely.Įxisting LogMeIn or users can use their same credentials to register for Cubby – a new account doesn’t need to be created. ![]() However, because today’s release is still considered a beta (a public beta, but still a beta), Cubby has yet to reveal its pricing plans for users who need to purchase additional storage – a number which will could help to sell the service as a low-cost or competitive alternative, or turn users off if priced too high. Through this method, Cubby users can accumulate up to 25 GB of free storage. It also introduced a way for users to earn additional storage through referrals, much like Dropbox does today. Like its competitors, Cubby offers users free online storage to encourage sign-ups – a healthy 5 GB is available for new users. For PC users especially, it makes for a quicker workflow – you don’t have to change your current folder structure or behavior, you just right-click and a folder becomes a “Cubby.” Folders that are synchronized, but not stored online, don’t count against Cubby’s storage limits. Using desktop software for PC or Mac, Cubby users can drag-and-drop folders (Mac or PC) or right-click them (on a PC) to add them to their storage space in the cloud, or they can choose to only sync them between their devices, including computers, tablets and smartphones (iOS or Android). On PCs, adding to Mesh was a right-click option.Ĭubby is not much different. Although Microsoft is now promoting SkyDrive over Live Mesh, users with longer memories will recall how Mesh worked: using client software, you could “mesh-enable” folders on your PC or Mac, and those folders and files would then become available on all your devices, and optionally on your Live Desktop in the cloud. ![]() The sync feature, called DirectSync, is somewhat reminiscent of what Microsoft once attempted with Windows Live Mesh. But Cubby hopes to differentiate itself by attracting users who need more than online storage – it’s going after those who could also benefit from a sync solution that keeps folders up-to-date between computers and mobile devices. The service is a late arrival to the crowded online storage space, dominated not only by startups like Dropbox, Box and Bitcasa, but also major players like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. Cubby, LogMeIn’s answer to Dropbox, is launching out of private beta today and is now available to all users. ![]() ![]() ![]() The amount of thrust that exceeds weight will add bonus speed.A plane design cannot be created without having more thrust than weight.Remaining modules on the row are special features which can do neat things like add defense turrets, gas tanks, or floating devices.

Although hydration status is known to affect renogram patterns in normal adults, 7 there is not yet a method to evaluate the effect of hydration on kidney hemodynamics without the use of tracers or contrast agents. 6 However, imaging methods like renal scintigraphy, contrast CT, MRI, and renal angiography are invasive due to the requirements of intravascular injection of radiotracers or contrast agents in order to evaluate dynamic function. 5 Therefore, it is important to understand the role of hydration in the examination of kidney vasculature.Ĭurrently, clinical diagnosis of renal conditions largely relies on physiologic and biochemical markers, radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonagraphy. 4 Furthermore, hypohydration (loss of fluid ∼2% of body mass) induced by moderate exercise and water restriction may impair endothelial function in healthy adults. 1, 3- 5 Modification of fluid intake as a therapeutic intervention in chronic kidney disease is beneficial in preserving renal function, 1 and hydration decreases the burden of urine production when the kidney is stressed with hypoxia. 2- 4 The effects of hydration and fluid intake adjustment have been reported for both healthy and disease states. 1, 2 It is well established that hydration is a behavioral adaption involved in the maintenance of circulating volume, and that the kidney is the end-organ that responds to changes in body fluid volume by modifying water excretion and conservation. Doppler flow velocities of renal arteries can be considered as noninvasive quantitative markers for evaluating the response of kidney hemodynamics to hydration.Ĭontrol of water homeostasis by the kidney is an important mechanism in the regulation of body fluid volume. The normal kidney reflects proportional increases in PSV and EDV at the main renal artery and interlobar arteries, while maintaining vascular resistance. Our results suggest that Doppler sonography is able to demonstrate changes in kidney hemodynamics within 1 hour after hydration. ICC for intraobserver repeatability in performing kidney Doppler sonography was 0.92. ![]() PCC for the correlation of the increase in PSV to the increase in EDV was greater than 0.80. Statistical analyses revealed that the differences in PSV and EDV values before and after hydration at the main renal artery and interlobar arteries of the kidney were significant ( P.05). We tested differences in Doppler parameters before and after hydration using a paired t test, analyzed the correlation of the increase in PSV to the increase in EDV after hydration using Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC), and examined intraobserver reliability using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Quantitative ultrasound Doppler parameters of peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistive index (RI) of the main renal artery and the intrarenal (interlobar) arteries were measured immediately before and 1 hour after ingestion of 500 mL of water. MethodsĪ total of 60 native kidneys in 30 normal adult participants (mean age, 26 years) were assessed using Doppler sonography.
