Synaptic Transmission. In a chemical synapse, the pre and post synaptic membranes are separated by a synaptic cleft, a fluid filled space. The chemical event is involved in the transmission of the impulse via release, diffusion, receptor binding of neurotransmitter molecules and unidirectional communication between neurons. The neurotransmitter termination can occur in three ways - reuptake, enzymatic degradation in the cleft and diffusion.
Pride in Accomplishment: The Interstate H-3 Project. Hawaii, America's 50th state, is known around the world for gentle trade winds and tropical beauty. While Hawaii takes pride in these natural wonders, we are also proud of our human achievements. One truly spectacular accomplishment is the completion of the Interstate H-3 freeway on the island of Oahu. H-3, 37 years in the making, was officially opened on Dec.12, 1997.
New York is currently building a 3-kilometer tunnel between Brooklyn and Staten Island, using the same EPB method that Madrid uses to build subway tunnels. The cost of the single-bore tunnel is $250 million, and the project will be completed by 2014.Of course, this is a water tunnel rather than a train tunnel.The diameter of the tunnel is somewhat smaller than that of a single-track train tunnel.he cost of the single-bore tunnel is $250 million, and the project will be completed by 2014.
