.... theory has been a major influential model since its origination in the 1920s (Beard, 1969 ). Piaget's theory has a biological perspective to cognitive development and focuses on broad, qualitative stages. Another acknowledged theory is the information- processing theory which, approaches cognitive development from a computer accentuated perspective, and focuses on the more narrow, continuous, quantitative changes (Westen, 1996).

The acetabulum and femur provide for a tight fit and allow pain free movement. In a dog with CHD, the fit between the acetabulum and femur is loose causing friction between the two bones. This is manifested by varying degrees of laxity of the muscles and ligaments around the hip joint along with instability and malformati .....

Its epithelial cells release large amounts of glycogen, which is anaerobically metabolized to lactic acid by resident bacteria. Consequently, the pH of a woman’s vagina is normally quite acidic. This acidity helps keep the vagina healthy & free of infection, but it is also hostile to sperm.
