A curling stone slides on ice with a speed of 2.0 m/s and collides inelastically with an identical, stationary curling stone.
 
  After the collision, the first stone is deflected by a counterclockwise angle of 28 from its original direction of travel, and the second stone moves in a direction that makes a 42 clockwise angle with the original direction of travel of the first stone. What fraction of the initial energy is lost in this collision? A) 0.12
  B) 0.24
  C) 0.36
  D) 0.48
  E) 0.64

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).

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
