Answer to Question 1

pulsar wind

Answer to Question 2

Photographic plates can detect faint objects in long time exposures and can be stored for later analysis. Electronic cameras exploit CCDs which are specialized computer chips containing millions of light detectors arranged in an array. These CCDs are more sensitive than photographic plates and, unlike photographic plates, they can detect bright and faint objects in a single exposure. CCD images are digitized, so they can be stored for later analysis, like photographic plates, but the data is easier to manipulate using a computer when it is digitized.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
