Bible | Camp During their journeys across the wilderness, the twelve tribes formed encampments at the different places where they halted (Ex. 16:13; Num. 2:3). The diagram here given shows the position of the different tribes and the form of the encampment during the wanderings, according to Num. 1:53; 2:2-31; 3:29, 35, 38; 10:13-28. The area of the camp would be in all about 3 square miles. After the Hebrews entered Palestine, the camps then spoken of were exclusively warlike (Josh. 11:5, 7; Judg. 5:19, 21; 7:1; 1 Sam. 29:1; 30:9, etc.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Dream Interpretation | To dream of camping in the open air, you may expect a change in your affairs, also prepare to make a long and wearisome journey. To see a camping settlement, many of your companions will remove to new estates and your own prospects will appear gloomy. For a young woman to dream that she is in a camp, denotes that her lover will have trouble in getting her to name a day for their wedding, and that he will prove a kind husband. If in a military camp she will marry the first time she has a chance. A married woman after dreaming of being in a soldier's camp is in danger of having her husband's name sullied, and divorce courts may be her destination.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
As a noun, a camp is an arrangement of temporary shelter, usually intended for use over only a short period of time. The term is also used for smaller military bases. It is a shortened form of encampment, which is derived ultimately from the Latin for "field".See also: campsite, camping, summer camp, day camp
As an adjective, camp refers to an ironic appreciation of that which might otherwise be considered corny, such as Carmen Miranda with her tutti-frutti hats. The term is often applied to popular culture events which are particularly dated or inappropriately serious, such as the low-budget science fiction movies of the 1950s and 60s. The attitude is identified with male homosexuals, but is a common "take" on esthetics and not restricted to any group. As a verb, the word in this sense is closer to its apparent derivation from from the French slang term camper, which means "to pose in an exaggerated fashion", as in camping it up.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP, or 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is derived from adenosine triphosphate (ATP).cAMP is a second messenger molecule, used for intracellular signal transduction, such as transferring the effects of hormones like glucagon and adrenaline, which cannot get through the cell membrane. Its main purpose is the activation of protein kinases; it is also used to regulate the passage of Ca2+ through ion channels.
cAMP synthesis and decomposition
cAMP is synthesized from ATP by adenylate cyclase. Adenylate cyclase is located at the cell membranes. It is activated by the hormones glucagon and adrenaline and by G protein. Liver adenylate cyclase responds more strongly to glucagon, and muscle adenylic cyclase responds more strongly to adrenaline.cAMP decomposition into AMP is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphodiesterase. This enzyme is inhibited by caffeine, the stimulatory efffect of this drug being the result of the raised cAMP levels that it causes.
Protein kinase activation
In the absence of cAMP, a protein kinase is inactive and exists as a tetramer, consisting of 2 catalytic and 2 regulatory units (C2R2), with the regulatory units blocking the catalytic centers of the catalytic units.cAMP binds to specific locations on the regulatory units of the protein kinase, causing them to dissociate from the tetramer, thus activating the catalytic units so they can perform their function.
Glycogen decomposition regulation
cAMP controls many biological processes, including glycogen decomposition into glucose, and lipolysis.
Role of cAMP in bacteria
In bacteria, cAMP is produced when the level of glucose in the cell is low; it activates the production of enzymes that can supply glucose.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Cyclic adenosine monophosphate."
