Abbreviated Schedule/Part-Time. Abbreviated schedule or part-time work is a regular arrangement consisting of a work week that is less than the standard 40 hours per week. Abbreviated schedule and part-time work can attract and retain trained and experienced staff who cannot work full-time due to personal commitments.
[edit on Wikidata] The palate /ËpÃ¦lÉªt/ is the roof of the mouth in humans and other mammals. It separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity. A similar structure is found in crocodilians, but, in most other tetrapods, the oral and nasal cavities are not truly separate.
While elevated, the soft palate creates a vacuum in the oral cavity, which keeps food out of the respiratory tract. The first well-developed palates are found in the reptiles, although only in the form of a hard partition. Palates similar to those in humans occur only in birds and some mammals.
