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.
THE NEED FOR EXPANSION: When the four-lane New Jersey Turnpike opened in 1952, traffic patterns were forecast such that any expansion to six lanes would not take place until 1975. The traffic demands of the Northeast Corridor necessitated the first turnpike expansion project, an 83-mile-long widening in 1955.
