55,55,"Food is ingested through the mouth and when swallowed passes first into the pharynx and then into the esophagus . The esophagus is thus one of the first components of the digestive system and the gastrointestinal tract . After food passes through the esophagus , it enters the stomach . When food is being swallowed , the epiglottis moves backward to cover the larynx , preventing food from entering the trachea .

It felt streamlined , yet substantial , which is different from iPhone 6 , which feels substantial in size alone .

66,66,"The theory of the objective correlative as it relates to literature was largely developed through the writings of the poet and literary critic T.S. Eliot , who is associated with the literary group called the New Critics . Helping define the objective correlative , Eliot 's essay `` Hamlet and His Problems '' , republished in his book The Sacred Wood : Essays on Poetry and Criticism discusses his view of Shakespeare 's incomplete development of Hamlet 's emotions in the play Hamlet . Eliot uses Lady Macbeth 's state of mind as an example of the successful objective correlative : `` The artistic ' inevitability ' lies in this complete adequacy of the external to the emotion ... . '' , as a contrast to Hamlet . According to Eliot , the feelings of Hamlet are not sufficiently supported by the story and the other characters surrounding him . The objective correlative 's purpose is to express the character 's emotions by showing rather than describing feelings as discussed earlier by Plato and referred to by Peter Barry in his book Beginning Theory : An Introduction to Literary and Cultural Theory as `` ... perhaps little more than the ancient distinction ( first made by Plato ) between mimesis and diegesis ... . '' ( 28 ) . According to Formalist critics , this action of creating an emotion through external factors and evidence linked together and thus forming an objective correlative should produce an author 's detachment from the depicted character and unite the emotion of the literary work . The `` occasion '' of E. Montale is a further form of correlative ."

In the poem , an albatross starts to follow a ship -- being followed by an albatross was generally considered a sign of good luck .

These amino acids contain an aromatic ring in their sidechain that fits into a ' hydrophobic pocket ' ( the S position ) of the enzyme . It is activated in the presence of trypsin . The hydrophobic and shape complementarity between the peptide substrate P sidechain and the enzyme S binding cavity accounts for the substrate specificity of this enzyme . Chymotrypsin also hydrolyzes other amide bonds in peptides at slower rates , particularly those containing leucine and methionine at the P position ."

180,180,"The peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) is one of the two components of the nervous system , the other part is the central nervous system ( CNS ) . The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord . The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs , essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body . Unlike the CNS , the PNS is not protected by the vertebral column and skull , or by the blood -- brain barrier , which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries . The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system . In the somatic nervous system , the cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of the optic nerve ( cranial nerve II ) , along with the retina . The second cranial nerve is not a true peripheral nerve but a tract of the diencephalon . Cranial nerve ganglia originated in the CNS . However , the remaining ten cranial nerve axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of the PNS . The autonomic nervous system is an involuntary control of smooth muscle and glands . The connection between CNS and organs allows the system to be in two different functional states : sympathetic and parasympathetic ."

217,217,"The Sun is about halfway through its main - sequence stage , during which nuclear fusion reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium . Each second , more than four million tonnes of matter are converted into energy within the Sun 's core , producing neutrinos and solar radiation . At this rate , the Sun has so far converted around 100 times the mass of Earth into energy , about 0.03 % of the total mass of the Sun . The Sun will spend a total of approximately 10 billion years as a main - sequence star . The Sun is gradually becoming hotter during its time on the main sequence , because the helium atoms in the core occupy less volume than the hydrogen atoms that were fused . The core is therefore shrinking , allowing the outer layers of the Sun to move closer to the centre and experience a stronger gravitational force , according to the inverse - square law . This stronger force increases the pressure on the core , which is resisted by a gradual increase in the rate at which fusion occurs . This process speeds up as the core gradually becomes denser . It is estimated that the Sun has become 30 % brighter in the last 4.5 billion years . At present , it is increasing in brightness by about 1 % every 100 million years ."

288,288,"Daenerys Targaryen ( season 1 -- present ) portrayed by Emilia Clarke . Daenerys Targaryen is the exiled princess of the Targaryen dynasty . Also called `` the Stormborn '' , she and her brother Viserys were smuggled to Essos during the end of Robert 's Rebellion . For seventeen years , she has been under the care of Viserys , whom she fears , as he is abusive to her whenever she displeases him . In exchange for an army , Viserys marries her to the powerful Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo , making her a Khaleesi , a queen of the Dothraki . Daenerys is at first afraid of her new husband but after learning the Dothraki language , she manages to get past their barriers . She begins to understand him and genuinely falls in love with him after learning Drogo is an intelligent leader and a kind man . After embracing the Dothraki culture , she becomes stronger and rebels against her brother . She later becomes pregnant with Drogo 's son who is prophesied by the Dothraki to be the `` Stallion Who Mounts the World '' . After her brother 's death and an assassination attempt by Robert Baratheon , Drogo vows to Daenerys that he will conquer the Seven Kingdoms for her and their unborn son . However , during their journey Drogo suffers from blood poisoning due to an infected wound incurred during a fight with a Dothraki tribesman . Daenerys is forced to seek the help of healer Mirri Maz Duur to save his life using blood magic . Mirri tricks Daenerys by using her unborn son 's life as a sacrifice to heal Drogo , leaving him in a permanent catatonic state , and forcing Daenerys to end her husband 's life . Losing both her husband and son , Daenerys punishes Mirri by having her burnt at the stake . She also lays the three dragon eggs she received as a wedding gift onto Khal Drogo 's body , then steps into the burning funeral pyre . After the fire extinguishes itself , the Khaleesi and three baby dragons , named Drogon , Rhaegal , and Viserion , are found alive and unharmed . Daenerys takes the baby dragons and the remaining tribe to gather new allies and reclaim the Iron Throne . She becomes the first female Dothraki leader . In Season 2 , she is lost in the Red Waste , a stretch of barren land . She and her khalasar eventually make it to Qarth , where the nobles are more interested in her dragons than her conquering Westeros . When her dragons are stolen by Pyat Pree , she goes into the House of the Undying and retrieves them , killing Pyat Pree . In the second season 's finale , she imprisons her host Xaro Xoan Daxos for having helped Pyat Pree . Her horde loot Xaro 's mansion to buy a ship . Daenerys travels from Qarth to Astapor , a city in Slaver 's Bay , where she negotiates the purchase of elite eunuch soldiers called the Unsullied . She also meets the famed knight Ser Barristan Selmy , and accepts him into her queensguard . On her departure from the city , she frees the slaves and has Drogon torch its elders . By the end of Season 3 , although her power has not yet been tested , she has acquired the loyalty of tens of thousands of freed slaves from Astapor and Yunkai , her remaining Dothraki brethren ( and two former Westerosi soldiers whom she encountered through the Dothraki , who advise her ) 2,000 ' Second Sons ' cavalrymen , 8,000 ' Unsullied ' elite infantry , and three rapidly growing dragons . The stay in Slaver 's Bay has made her question her motives , however , and she takes up the cause of ending slavery as well , donning the honorific `` Breaker of Chains '' as the slaves hold her to the sky , praising her as their Mhysa , or `` Mother '' . Daenerys later frees the slaves from Meereen , the last of the slave cities in Slaver 's Bay , but realizes that she is slowly losing control of her dragons , especially when Drogon shows signs of aggression towards her when she tries to break up a fight between them over food . Aware that she does not have enough men to conquer Westeros just yet , Daenerys resolves to remain in Slaver 's Bay and rule as Queen for the time being . She eventually learns of Jorah 's original purpose , which was to spy on her for Robert Baratheon , and orders him to leave Meereen on threat of execution . After she receives too many complaints about her dragons , Daenerys , locks Rhaegal and Viserion of them in the catacombs beneath Meereen before searching for Drogon . Meanwhile , Daenerys faces a new threat to her rule in the form of the Sons of the Harpy , a resistance movement against her and the Unsullied . She considers freeing her dragons , but they attempt to attack her , making her realize that they are no longer loyal to her . After Daario and Grey Worm arrest a member of the Sons of the Harpy , Mossador implores Daenerys to execute their captive , but Barristan tells her of the Mad King 's actions against his enemies , which included burning them with wildfire while laughing . He asks her not to execute the captive without a fair trial , and she agrees with him . Mossador goes against her wishes , and kills the captive Son of the Harpy . Daenerys has him publicly executed , which leads a riot to break out between the old masters and the freed slaves . At night , Daenerys finds that Drogon has returned , but when she tries to touch his face , he flies away . Soon afterward , a group of Unsullied patrolling the streets of Meereen are stopped by a crying woman who points them to an alleyway . The Unsullied head in to investigate , but it is revealed that the entire affair was a set up after they are soon cornered by a group of the Sons of the Harpy . The Unsullied attempt to fight back , but the Sons of the Harpy kill many of them . Barristan Selmy sees the commotion and tries to help , killing many of the Sons of the Harpy , but gets badly wounded , and dies . Grey Worm also sustains serious but nonfatal injuries . Daenerys is furious after learning what has happened to Barristan , and rounds up the leaders of the great Meereenese houses . She takes them into the catacombs where she randomly has one of them shoved forward . The Meereenese lord is promptly killed by dragonfire from Rhaegal , and he and Viserion eat him . Daenerys then has all the lords arrested , including her former adviser Hizdahr zo Loraq , whom she decides to marry to win over the Meereenese nobles . To respect the culture of the region , she agrees to have the fighting pits reinstated ( she had previously declined due to her distaste for killing for sport ) . Hizdahr convinces Daenerys to go to one of the pits to see the contestants battling over who will go to the final competition . Daenerys is sickened by the bloodshed , and gets up to leave , but her attention is turned by one masked competitor who defeats all of the other competitors without killing any of them . This competitor turns out to be Jorah Mormont , who is trying to win over Daenerys ' favor after being banished . Daenerys orders the Unsullied to take him away , but Jorah announces that he has brought her a gift , and Tyrion Lannister reveals himself to Daenerys . After a round of questioning , Daenerys banishes Jorah once again , but takes Tyrion on as her adviser . On the great opening of Daznak 's Pit , Jorah resurfaces as a voluntary contender on the arena , but Daenerys refuses to stop the games to spare his life . Jorah eventually prevails and saves her life by impaling with his spear an attacker from the Sons of the Harpy , who appear in legions and attack Daenerys ' guards . Cornered at the midst of the arena , defeat seems immediate when Drogon returns , killing many Sons of the Harpy despite being wounded by several of their spears . Daenerys manages to rekindle their bond and climbs his back , riding off into the distance to a stunned crowd . She roams the Great Steppe north of the city , where Drogon seems reluctant to obey her commands or even hunt for food . Strolling about on her own , Daenerys is faced with an incoming Dothraki khalasar of great numbers , and after dropping a ring to the ground to leave a trail , she is surrounded . In season 6 , the Dothraki take her to Vaes Dothrak , where she identifies herself to Khal Moro as Drogo 's former wife . Out of respect for Dothraki traditions , they take Daenerys to join the Dosh Khaleen , which consisted of the wives of deceased khals . Daenerys refuses and instead burns the temple down with herself and all the khals still inside . She emerges unscathed , and the awed Dothraki accept her as their new leader . She returns to Meereen with her new army and destroys the slaver fleet assaulting the city with her dragons . In the aftermath , Daenerys meets with Theon and Yara Greyjoy , who offer their support for her claim so that they can overthrow their uncle Euron . Daenerys accepts their aid and secures help from the Reach and Dorne , names Tyrion as her hand , but breaks up with Daario , ordering him to stay behind and govern Slaver 's Bay in her absence . With her new army , Daenerys finally sets sail for Westeros . In Season 7 Daenerys finally uses her dragons in battle , annihilating a Lannister force and their baggage train with fire . Daenerys welcomes Jon Snow to Dragonstone , seeing him as a friend and ally , insisting that he bend the knee to her but exhibiting patience with his refusal . She believes his tales of white walkers and agrees to let him mine dragonglass ( obsidian ) from her land . When Jon 's expedition north of the Wall gets into trouble Daenerys takes her dragons to rescue them , and is devastated when the Night King kills one . On the ship back to Dragonstone she and Jon make love ."

309,309,"The name Boötes was first used by Homer in his Odyssey as a celestial reference point for navigation , described as `` late - setting '' or `` slow to set '' , translated as the `` Plowman '' . Exactly whom Boötes is supposed to represent in Greek mythology is not clear . According to one version , he was a son of Demeter , Philomenus , twin brother of Plutus , a ploughman who drove the oxen in the constellation Ursa Major . This is corroborated by the constellation 's name , which itself means `` ox - driver '' or `` herdsman . '' The ancient Greeks saw the asterism now called the `` Big Dipper '' or `` Plough '' as a cart with oxen . This influenced the name 's etymology , derived from the Greek for `` noisy '' or `` ox - driver '' . Another myth associated with Boötes tells that he invented the plow and was memorialized for his ingenuity as a constellation ."

314,314,"In biology , a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank , as well as a unit of biodiversity , but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition . Scientists and conservationists need a species definition which allows them to work , regardless of the theoretical difficulties . If as Linnaeus thought , species were fixed , there would be no problem , but evolutionary processes cause species to change continually , and to grade into one another . A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which two individuals can produce fertile offspring , typically by sexual reproduction . While this definition is often adequate , when looked at more closely it is problematic . For example , with hybridisation , in a species complex of hundreds of similar microspecies , or in a ring species , the boundaries between closely related species become unclear . Among organisms that reproduce only asexually , the concept of a reproductive species breaks down , and each clone is potentially a microspecies . Problems also arise when dealing with fossils , since reproduction can not be examined ; the concept of the chronospecies is therefore used in palaeontology . Other ways of defining species include their karyotype , DNA sequence , morphology , behaviour or ecological niche ."
315,315,"In 1716 , the Spanish government established several Roman Catholic missions in East Texas . The isolation of the missions -- the nearest Spanish settlement , San Juan Bautista , Coahuila was over 400 miles ( 644 km ) away -- made it difficult to keep them adequately provisioned . To assist the missionaries , the new governor of Spanish Texas , Martín de Alarcón , wished to establish a way station between the settlements along the Rio Grande and the new missions in East Texas . In April 1718 , Alarcón led an expedition to found a new community in Texas . On May 1 , the group erected a temporary mud , brush , and straw structure near the headwaters of the San Antonio River . This building would serve as a new mission , San Antonio de Valero , named after Saint Anthony of Padua and the viceroy of New Spain , Baltasar de Zúñiga y Guzmán Sotomayor y Sarmiento , Marquess of Valero . The mission , headed by Father Antonio de San Buenaventura y Olivares , was located near a community of Coahuiltecans and was initially populated by three to five Indian converts from Mission San Francisco Solano near San Juan Bautista . One mile ( two km ) north of the mission , Alarcón built a presidio ( fort ) , the Presidio San Antonio de Bexar .

318,318,"Although the electric chair has long been a symbol of the death penalty in the United States , its use is in decline due to the rise of lethal injection , which is widely believed to be a more humane method of execution . Although some states still maintain electrocution as a method of execution , today , it is only maintained as a secondary method that may be chosen over lethal injection at the request of the prisoner , except in Tennessee , where it may be used if the drugs for lethal injection are not available , without input from the prisoner . As of 2014 , electrocution is an optional form of execution in Alabama , Florida , South Carolina , and Virginia . They allow the prisoner to choose lethal injection as an alternative method . In the state of Kentucky , the electric chair has been retired , except for those whose capital crimes were committed prior to March 31 , 1998 , and who choose electrocution ; inmates who do not choose electrocution and inmates who committed their crimes after the designated date are executed by lethal injection . In the state of Tennessee , the electric chair is available for use if lethal injection drugs are unavailable , or otherwise , if the inmate so chooses and if their capital crime was committed before 1999 . The electric chair is an alternate form of execution approved for potential use in Arkansas and Oklahoma if other forms of execution are found unconstitutional in the state at the time of execution . On February 8 , 2008 , the Nebraska Supreme Court determined that execution by electric chair was a `` cruel and unusual punishment '' under the state 's constitution . This brought executions of this type to an end in Nebraska , the only remaining state to retain electrocution as its sole method of execution ."
319,319,"The Prisoners ( Temporary Discharge for Ill Health ) Act , commonly referred to as the Cat and Mouse Act , was an Act of Parliament passed in Britain under Herbert Henry Asquith 's Liberal government in 1913 . Some members of the Women 's Social and Political Union ( WSPU , commonly referred to as suffragettes ) had been imprisoned for acts of vandalism in support of women 's suffrage . In protest to being imprisoned some of these suffragettes undertook hunger strikes . These suffragettes were then force - fed leading to a public outcry . This act was a response to the outcry ; it allowed the prisoners to be released on licence as soon as the hunger strike affected their health . They then had a period of time in which they could recover . After a predetermined period of time the prisoner would be rearrested to serve out the rest of their sentence . Conditions could be placed on the prisoner during the time of their release . The hunger strikes themselves were now technically legal . However , the Act allowed for the re-imprisonment of the hunger strikers upon their recovery on their original charges . The nickname of the Act came about because of a cat 's habit of playing with its prey ( a mouse ) before finishing it off ."

336,336,"When operation of an aircraft under VFR is not safe , because the visual cues outside the aircraft are obscured by weather or darkness , instrument flight rules must be used instead . IFR permits an aircraft to operate in instrument meteorological conditions ( IMC ) , which is essentially any weather condition less than VMC but in which aircraft can still operate safely . Use of instrument flight rules is also required when flying in `` Class A '' airspace regardless of weather conditions . Class A airspace extends from 18,000 feet above mean sea level to flight level 600 ( 60,000 feet pressure altitude ) above the contiguous 48 United States and overlying the waters within 12 miles thereof . Flight in Class A airspace requires pilots and aircraft to be instrument equipped and rated and to be operating under Instrument Flight Rules ( IFR ) . In many countries commercial airliners and their pilots must operate under IFR as the majority of flights enter Class A airspace ; however , aircraft operating as commercial airliners must operate under IFR even if the flight plan does not take the craft into Class A airspace , such as with smaller regional flights . Procedures and training are significantly more complex compared to VFR instruction , as a pilot must demonstrate competency in conducting an entire cross-country flight solely by reference to instruments ."

346,346,"The Peloponnesian War ( 431 -- 404 BC ) was an ancient Greek war fought by the Delian League led by Athens against the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta . Historians have traditionally divided the war into three phases . In the first phase , the Archidamian War , Sparta launched repeated invasions of Attica , while Athens took advantage of its naval supremacy to raid the coast of the Peloponnese and attempt to suppress signs of unrest in its empire . This period of the war was concluded in 421 BC , with the signing of the Peace of Nicias . That treaty , however , was soon undermined by renewed fighting in the Peloponnese . In 415 BC , Athens dispatched a massive expeditionary force to attack Syracuse in Sicily ; the attack failed disastrously , with the destruction of the entire force , in 413 BC . This ushered in the final phase of the war , generally referred to either as the Decelean War , or the Ionian War . In this phase , Sparta , now receiving support from Persia , supported rebellions in Athens ' subject states in the Aegean Sea and Ionia , undermining Athens ' empire , and , eventually , depriving the city of naval supremacy . The destruction of Athens ' fleet at Aegospotami effectively ended the war , and Athens surrendered in the following year .

358,358,"The Dust Bowl , also known as the Dirty Thirties , was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s ; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion ( the Aeolian processes ) caused the phenomenon . The drought came in three waves , 1934 , 1936 , and 1939 -- 1940 , but some regions of the high plains experienced drought conditions for as many as eight years . With insufficient understanding of the ecology of the plains , farmers had conducted extensive deep plowing of the virgin topsoil of the Great Plains during the previous decade ; this had displaced the native , deep - rooted grasses that normally trapped soil and moisture even during periods of drought and high winds . The rapid mechanization of farm equipment , especially small gasoline tractors , and widespread use of the combine harvester contributed to farmers ' decisions to convert arid grassland ( much of which received no more than 10 inches ( 250 mm ) of precipitation per year ) to cultivated cropland ."

366,366,"The 1824 presidential election marked the final collapse of the Republican - Federalist political framework . Considering the large numbers of candidates and strong regional preferences , it is not surprising that the results of the election of 1824 were inconclusive . The electoral map confirmed the candidates ' sectional support , with Adams winning outright in the New England states , Jackson gleaning success in states throughout the nation , Clay attracting votes from the West , and Crawford attracting votes from the eastern South . Andrew Jackson received more electoral and popular votes than any other candidate , but not the majority of 131 electoral votes needed to win the election . Since no candidate received the required majority of electoral votes , the presidential election was decided by the House of Representatives ( see `` Contingent election '' below ) . Meanwhile , John C. Calhoun easily defeated his rivals in the race for the vice presidency , as the support of both the Adams and Jackson camps quickly gave him an unassailable lead over the other candidates . This means that 1824 marks the only election in U.S. history where only the vice presidential candidate had been successfully elected to an executive office by Electoral College . Despite Clay himself finishing last in the electoral college , his running - mate , Nathan Sanford actually finished second behind Calhoun in the vice presidential vote , mostly because nearly half of the electors pledged to Crawford voted for candidates other than his designated running - mate , Nathaniel Macon , with New York senator Martin Van Buren being the main beneficiary ."
367,367,"In the Romantic period , music became more expressive and emotional , expanding to encompass literary , artistic , and philosophical themes . Famous early Romantic composers include Beethoven ( whose works span both this period and the preceding Classical period ) , Schubert , Schumann , Chopin , Mendelssohn , Bellini , and Berlioz . The late 19th century saw a dramatic expansion in the size of the orchestra and in the dynamic range and diversity of instruments used in this ensemble . Also , public concerts became a key part of urban middle class society , in contrast to earlier periods , when concerts were mainly paid for by and performed for aristocrats . Famous composers from the second half of the century include Bruckner , Johann Strauss II , Brahms , Liszt , Tchaikovsky , Dvořák , Verdi , and Wagner . Between 1890 and 1910 , a third wave of composers including Mahler , Richard Strauss , Puccini , and Sibelius built on the work of middle Romantic composers to create even more complex -- and often much longer -- musical works . A prominent mark of late 19th century music is its nationalistic fervor , as exemplified by such figures as Dvořák , Sibelius , and Grieg . Other prominent late - century figures include Saint - Saëns , Fauré , Rachmaninoff and Franck ."

375,375,"James Long believed that the British mercantile community and even the Government unjustly and oppressively treated the Indigo cultivators . His view concurred with Dinabandhu Mitra who expressed his sentiments in a play entitled Nil Darpan ( the original Bengali play was written by him ) and published anonymously from Dhaka in 1860 . Mitra sent Long a copy of the play as early as 1861 . Long brought it to the notice of W. S Seton - Karr , Secretary to the Governor of Bengal and ex-President of the Indigo Commission . Seton - Karr , sensing its importance , mentioned Nil Durpan in conversation with the Lieutenant Governor , Grant. Grant expressed a wish to see a translation of it and print a few copies to be circulated privately amongst friends . After the discussion , Seton - Karr asked Long to arrange for a translation of the play in English . Michael Madhusudan Dutta translated it under the supervision of Long . Long as the editor cut out some coarse passages and wrote a short prefatory note for the play . When the translation was complete , Seton - Karr ordered printing of five hundred copies in lieu of Grant 's wish of a few copies . Then Long sent the translated manuscripts to Clement Henry Manuel , the proprietor of the Calcutta Printing and Publishing Press to print five hundred copies and the cost came to around Rs. 300 . It was published in April or May 1861 . Unknown to the Lieutenant Governor , Long began sending out the copies in official Government envelopes that had the heading : `` on her Majesty 's Service '' . The translation revealed the nature of the oppression against the indigo planters . It naturally offended the establishment of the play so much that a razing propaganda was started by the Anglo - Indian Press against the publisher and the translator . One of the leading newspapers named The Englishmen and some indigo planters instituted a libel suit against Long and the printer - C.H. Manuel . The words mentioned in Long 's Introduction to the play stated that what was presented in it was `` plain but true '' . This was subsequently used by the planters in their prosecution of Long for publishing defamatory statements ."
376,376,"Combustion / kəmˈbʌs. tʃ ən / or burning is a high - temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel ( the reductant ) and an oxidant , usually atmospheric oxygen , that produces oxidized , often gaseous products , in a mixture termed as smoke . Combustion in a fire produces a flame , and the heat produced can make combustion self - sustaining . Combustion is often a complicated sequence of elementary radical reactions . Solid fuels , such as wood and coal , first undergo endothermic pyrolysis to produce gaseous fuels whose combustion then supplies the heat required to produce more of them . Combustion is often hot enough that light in the form of either glowing or a flame is produced . A simple example can be seen in the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen into water vapor , a reaction commonly used to fuel rocket engines . This reaction releases 242 kJ / mol of heat and reduces the enthalpy accordingly ( at constant temperature and pressure ) :"

393,393,"Cooling towers originated in the 19th century through the development of condensers for use with the steam engine . Condensers use relatively cool water , via various means , to condense the steam coming out of the cylinders or turbines . This reduces the back pressure , which in turn reduces the steam consumption , and thus the fuel consumption , while at the same time increasing power and recycling boiler - water . However the condensers require an ample supply of cooling water , without which they are impractical . The consumption of cooling water by inland processing and power plants is estimated to reduce power availability for the majority of thermal power plants by 2040 -- 2069 . While water usage is not an issue with marine engines , it forms a significant limitation for many land - based systems ."

490,490,"As long as species have been evolving , species have been going extinct . It is estimated that over 99.9 % of all species that ever lived are extinct . The average lifespan of a species is 1 -- 10 million years , although this varies widely between taxa . There are a variety of causes that can contribute directly or indirectly to the extinction of a species or group of species . `` Just as each species is unique '' , write Beverly and Stephen C. Stearns , `` so is each extinction ... the causes for each are varied -- some subtle and complex , others obvious and simple '' . Most simply , any species that can not survive and reproduce in its environment and can not move to a new environment where it can do so , dies out and becomes extinct . Extinction of a species may come suddenly when an otherwise healthy species is wiped out completely , as when toxic pollution renders its entire habitat unliveable ; or may occur gradually over thousands or millions of years , such as when a species gradually loses out in competition for food to better adapted competitors . Extinction may occur a long time after the events that set it in motion , a phenomenon known as extinction debt ."

526,526,"The Cylinder 's text has traditionally been seen by biblical scholars as corroborative evidence of Cyrus ' policy of the repatriation of the Jewish people following their Babylonian captivity ( an act that the Book of Ezra attributes to Cyrus ) , as the text refers to the restoration of cult sanctuaries and repatriation of deported peoples . This interpretation has been disputed , as the text identifies only Mesopotamian sanctuaries , and makes no mention of Jews , Jerusalem , or Judea . The Cylinder has also been referred to by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi , the last Shah of Iran as the first declaration of universal human rights , a view rejected by some historians as anachronistic and a misunderstanding of the Cylinder 's generic nature as a typical statement made by a new monarch at the beginning of his reign . Neil MacGregor , Director of the British Museum , has stated that the cylinder was `` the first attempt we know about running a society , a state with different nationalities and faiths -- a new kind of statecraft . '' It was adopted as a national symbol of Iran by the Imperial State which put it on display in Tehran in 1971 to commemorate 2,500 year celebration of the Persian Empire . On October 14 , the Mohammad Reza Shah 's sister , Princess Ashraf Pahlavi , presented the United Nations Secretary General U Thant with a replica of the Cylinder .

527,527,"It is also known as an `` immediate hemolytic transfusion reaction '' . This is a medical emergency as it results from rapid destruction of the donor red blood cells by host antibodies ( IgG , IgM ) . It is usually related to ABO blood group incompatibility - the most severe of which often involves group A red cells being given to a patient with group O type blood . Properdin then binds to complement C3 in the donor blood , facilitating the reaction through the alternate pathway cascade . The donor cells also become coated with IgG and are subsequently removed by macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system ( RES ) . Jaundice and disseminated intravascular coagulation ( DIC ) may also occur . The most common cause is clerical error ( i.e. the wrong unit of blood being given to the patient ) ."

532,532,"Because the states were preexisting political entities , the U.S. Constitution did not need to define or explain federalism in any one section but it often mentions the rights and responsibilities of state governments and state officials in relation to the federal government . The federal government has certain express powers ( also called enumerated powers ) which are powers spelled out in the Constitution , including the right to levy taxes , declare war , and regulate interstate and foreign commerce . In addition , the Necessary and Proper Clause gives the federal government the implied power to pass any law `` necessary and proper '' for the execution of its express powers . Other powers -- the reserved powers -- are reserved to the people or the states . The power delegated to the federal government was significantly expanded by the Supreme Court decision in McCulloch v. Maryland ( 1819 ) , amendments to the Constitution following the Civil War , and by some later amendments -- as well as the overall claim of the Civil War , that the states were legally subject to the final dictates of the federal government ."

535,535,"The earliest predecessors of the eye were photoreceptor proteins that sense light , found even in unicellular organisms , called `` eyespots '' . Eyespots can only sense ambient brightness : they can distinguish light from dark , sufficient for photoperiodism and daily synchronization of circadian rhythms . They are insufficient for vision , as they can not distinguish shapes or determine the direction light is coming from . Eyespots are found in nearly all major animal groups , and are common among unicellular organisms , including euglena . The euglena 's eyespot , called a stigma , is located at its anterior end . It is a small splotch of red pigment which shades a collection of light sensitive crystals . Together with the leading flagellum , the eyespot allows the organism to move in response to light , often toward the light to assist in photosynthesis , and to predict day and night , the primary function of circadian rhythms . Visual pigments are located in the brains of more complex organisms , and are thought to have a role in synchronising spawning with lunar cycles . By detecting the subtle changes in night - time illumination , organisms could synchronise the release of sperm and eggs to maximise the probability of fertilisation ."

572,572,"Brain tissue consumes a large amount of energy in proportion to its volume , so large brains place severe metabolic demands on animals . The need to limit body weight in order , for example , to fly , has apparently led to selection for a reduction of brain size in some species , such as bats . Most of the brain 's energy consumption goes into sustaining the electric charge ( membrane potential ) of neurons . Most vertebrate species devote between 2 % and 8 % of basal metabolism to the brain . In primates , however , the percentage is much higher -- in humans it rises to 20 -- 25 % . The energy consumption of the brain does not vary greatly over time , but active regions of the cerebral cortex consume somewhat more energy than inactive regions ; this forms the basis for the functional brain imaging methods PET , fMRI , and NIRS . The brain typically gets most of its energy from oxygen - dependent metabolism of glucose ( i.e. , blood sugar ) , but ketones provide a major alternative source , together with contributions from medium chain fatty acids ( caprylic and heptanoic acids ) , lactate , acetate , and possibly amino acids ."

This particular deposit of graphite was extremely pure and solid , and it could easily be sawn into sticks . It remains the only large - scale deposit of graphite ever found in this solid form . Chemistry was in its infancy and the substance was thought to be a form of lead . Consequently , it was called plumbago ( Latin for `` lead ore '' ) .

They sold shares en masse , meaning meant companies found it hard to get finance . The result was that thousands of businesses were forced to close , and they laid off workers . Because workers had less money to spend , businesses received less income , leading to more closures and lay - offs . This downward spiral began the Great Depression . Berle and Means argued that under - regulation was the primary cause in their foundational book in 1932 , The Modern Corporation and Private Property . They said directors had become too unaccountable , and the markets lacked basic transparency rules . This led directly to the New Deal reforms of the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 . A new Securities and Exchange Commission was empowered to require corporations disclose all material information about their business to the investing public . Because many shareholders were physically distant from corporate headquarters where meetings would take place , new rights were made to allow people to cast votes via proxies , on the view that this and other measures would make directors more accountable . Given these reforms , a major controversy still remained about the duties that corporations also owed to employees , other stakeholders , and the rest of society . After World War Two , a general consensus emerged that directors were not bound purely to pursue `` shareholder value '' but could exercise their discretion for the good of all stakeholders , for instance by increasing wages instead of dividends , or providing services for the good of the community instead of only pursuing profits , if it was in the interests of the enterprise as a whole . However , different states had different corporate laws . To increase revenue from corporate tax , individual states had an incentive to lower their standards in a `` race to the bottom '' to attract corporations to set up their headquarters in the state , particularly where directors controlled the decision to incorporate . `` Charter competition '' , by the 1960s , had led Delaware to become home to the majority of the largest US corporations . This meant that the case law of the Delaware Chancery and Supreme Court became increasingly influential . During the 1980s , a huge takeover and merger boom decreased directors ' accountability . To fend off a takeover , courts allowed boards to institute `` poison pills '' or `` shareholder rights plans '' , which allowed directors to veto any bid -- and probably get a payout for letting a takeover happen . More and more people 's retirement savings were being invested into the stock market , through pension funds , life insurance and mutual funds . This resulted in a vast growth in the asset management industry , which tended to take control of voting rights . Both the financial sector 's share of income , and executive pay for chief executive officers began to rise far beyond real wages for the rest of the workforce . The Enron scandal of 2001 led to some reforms in the Sarbanes - Oxley Act ( on separating auditors from consultancy work ) . The global financial crisis of 2007 led to minor changes in the Dodd - Frank Act ( on soft regulation of pay , alongside derivative markets ) . However , the basic shape of corporate law in the United States has remained the same since the 1980s ."

'' This is often condensed to : `` The dose makes the poison '' or in Latin , `` Sola dosis facit venenum '' .

From 1867 to the elimination of the death penalty for murder on July 14 , 1976 , 1,481 people had been sentenced to death , and 710 had been executed .

754,754,"Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie , who funded its construction . It was intended as a venue for the Oratorio Society of New York and the New York Symphony Society , on whose boards Carnegie served . Construction began in 1890 , and was carried out by Isaac A. Hopper and Company . Although the building was in use from April 1891 , the official opening night was May 5 , with a concert conducted by maestro Walter Damrosch and great Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky . Originally known simply as `` Music Hall '' ( the words `` Music Hall founded by Andrew Carnegie '' still appear on the façade above the marquee ) , the hall was renamed Carnegie Hall in 1893 after board members of the Music Hall Company of New York ( the hall 's original governing body ) persuaded Carnegie to allow the use of his name . Several alterations were made to the building between 1893 and 1896 , including the addition of two towers of artists ' studios , and alterations to the smaller auditorium on the building 's lower level ."
755,755,"In a large open - air theatre , like the Theatre of Dionysus in Athens , the classical masks were able to create a sense of dread in the audience creating large scale panic , especially since they had intensely exaggerated facial features and expressions . They enabled an actor to appear and reappear in several different roles , thus preventing the audience from identifying the actor to one specific character . Their variations help the audience to distinguish sex , age , and social status , in addition to revealing a change in a particular character 's appearance , e.g. Oedipus after blinding himself . Unique masks were also created for specific characters and events in a play , such as The Furies in Aeschylus ' Eumenides and Pentheus and Cadmus in Euripides ' The Bacchae . Worn by the chorus , the masks created a sense of unity and uniformity , while representing a multi-voiced persona or single organism and simultaneously encouraged interdependency and a heightened sensitivity between each individual of the group . Only 2 - 3 actors were allowed on the stage at one time , and masks permitted quick transitions from one character to another . There were only male actors , but masks allowed them to play female characters ."

757,757,"The Currency Act of 1764 ( 4 Geo . III c. 34 ) extended the 1751 Act to all of the British colonies of North America . Unlike the earlier Act , this statute did not prohibit the colonies from issuing paper money , but it did forbid them from designating future currency emissions as legal tender for public and private debts . This tight money policy created financial difficulties in the colonies , where gold and silver were in short supply . Benjamin Franklin , a colonial agent in London , lobbied for repeal of the Act over the next several years , as did other agents . The act arose when Virginia farmers continued to import during the French and Indian War . Virginia issued 250,000 pounds in bills of credit to finance both public and private debts . This legislation differed from the 1751 act in that it prohibited the colonists from designating paper currency for use as payment for any debts , public or private . Parliament did not , however , prohibit the colonists from issuing paper money . The Act was put into place as a hedge against risks associated with economic fluctuations and uncertainty ."

759,759,"Delia Finkel died in August 1921 , shortly after the Walla Walla Bulletin article was published , and in 1926 Frank married his second wife , Hermie . Frank Finkel died at age 76 on August 28 , 1930 . In 2013 , a photograph described as `` August Finckle '' was published first in the `` Battlefield Dispatch , '' a membership - circulation publication for Custer enthusiasts , and then in the December 2013 issue of `` Wild West , '' a professionally edited general - circulation magazine of the Weider History Group . The photograph , described as `` Sergeant August Finckle '' of the Seventh Cavalry in an 1874 cavalry blouse , was widely identified as a photograph of Frank Finkel of Ohio taken 10 years before the familiar Frank Finkel portrait photograph taken around 1886 . The hair color and hairline differed due to age , but every facial feature was identical , as were several mannerisms , including the shirt collar flipped up on the right side inside the coat collar , according to Mike Roncallo , a portrait photographer with NJ Press credentials , Sylvia Groen , a portrait painter , Police Chief Benjamin Fox of Wyckoff , NJ , and Jacques Harlow , a professional engineer with a degree from Dartmouth and a Fulbright Scholar with ID training from NYU . The owner of the photograph was a friend of Frank Finckle , fellow soldier and mentions burying Frank Finckle in the same Dispatch article . Four men claimed to identify Finckle and his horse , both dead on Finley Finckle Ridge . They do not name parts of battlefields for missing soldiers . Conversely , Finckle 's best friend , Charles Windolph , rode down from Reno Hill expressly to find Finckle 's body and give him a decent burial and could not find the body . `` I tried to find the body of my German friend , Trooper Finkle , the tallest man in the regiment , But I could not identify him , '' Windolph , a Medal of Honor recipient and the last living soldier survivor of the battle , said in `` I Fought With Custer . '' Windolph 's daughter told Dr. Arthur Kannenberg `` After the battle Daddy says he looked everywhere for him as he was like a brother to him -- but the bodies were so disfigured that he was unable to find him . '' Dr. Kannenberg showed Windolph a photograph of Frank Finkel as an old man of 66 but Windolph , who was almost blind by that time , could not say whether the photograph resembled Sergeant August Finckle or not . None of the people who claimed to have buried Finckle ever gave a detailed description of how they might have recognized his body . The final report of the primary source , Sergeant Daniel Kanipe , was described as full of inaccuracies by Col. W.A. Graham in `` The Custer Myth . '' Kanipe also described 60 , 70 , or 75 dead Indians when the Indians reported losing only 26 warriors and listed them by name . Kanipe said General Custer was shot once when every other witness said Custer was shot twice . Kanipe failed to identify his own company commander , Tom Custer , who had been beaten to a pulp . Kanipe apparently identified the body of `` Finckle '' for Lt. Edward Godfrey , who did not appear to know Finckle by sight . Sergeant Samuel Alcott was not present at the actual battle and describes the burial he attended as taking place on a `` barren plain '' when it was actually on a hillside . The article in `` Battlefield Dispatch '' also stated that native - born German speakers reported having trouble understanding `` Sergeant Finckle 's '' German pronunciation . Author Koster said that this was because Frank Finkel grew up in Ohio , had never lived in Germany , and had learned the Alemannic Bavarian dialect from his immigrant parents ."

764,764,"In 1917 , with Russia experiencing political upheaval following widespread disillusionment there over the war , and with Britain and France low on credit , Germany appeared to have the upper hand in Europe , while the Ottoman Empire clung to its possessions in the Middle East . In the same year , Germany decided to resume unrestricted submarine warfare against any vessel approaching British waters ; this attempt to starve Britain into surrender was balanced against the knowledge that it would almost certainly bring the United States into the war . Germany also made a secret offer to help Mexico regain territories lost in the Mexican -- American War in an encoded telegram known as the Zimmermann Telegram , which was intercepted by British Intelligence . Publication of that communique outraged Americans just as German U-boats started sinking American merchant ships in the North Atlantic . Wilson then asked Congress for `` a war to end all wars '' that would `` make the world safe for democracy '' , and Congress voted to declare war on Germany on April 6 , 1917 . On December 7 , 1917 , the U.S. declared war on Austria - Hungary . U.S. troops began arriving on the Western Front in large numbers in 1918 ."

Thus , while other businesses failed , the popcorn business thrived and became a source of income for many struggling farmers , including the Redenbacher family , namesake of the famous popcorn brand . During World War II , sugar rations diminished candy production , and Americans compensated by eating three times as much popcorn as they had before . The snack was popular at theaters , much to the initial displeasure of many of the theater owners , who thought it distracted from the films . Their minds eventually changed , however , and in 1938 a Midwestern theater owner named Glen W. Dickson installed popcorn machines in the lobbies of his theaters . The venture was a financial success , and the trend soon spread ."
796,796,"The CFTR gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 7 , at position q31. 2 , and ultimately codes for a sequence of 1,480 amino acids . Normally , the three DNA base pairs A-T-C ( paired with T-A-G on the opposite strand ) at the gene 's 507th position form the template for the mRNA codon A-U-C for isoleucine , while the three DNA base pairs T-T-T ( paired with A-A-A ) at the adjacent 508th position form the template for the codon U-U-U for phenylalanine . The ΔF508 mutation is a deletion of the C-G pair from position 507 along with the first two T-A pairs from position 508 , leaving the DNA sequence A-T-T ( paired with T-A-A ) at position 507 , which is transcribed into the mRNA codon A-U-U . Since A-U-U also codes for isoleucine , position 507 's amino acid does not change , and the mutation 's net effect is equivalent to a deletion ( `` Δ '' ) of the sequence resulting in the codon for phenylalanine at position 508 ."

798,798,"External threats closely shaped the course of the Revolution . The Revolutionary Wars beginning in 1792 ultimately featured French victories that facilitated the conquest of the Italian Peninsula , the Low Countries and most territories west of the Rhine -- achievements that had eluded previous French governments for centuries . Internally , popular agitation radicalised the Revolution significantly , culminating in the rise of Maximilien Robespierre and the Jacobins . The dictatorship imposed by the Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror , from 1793 until 1794 , established price controls on food and other items , abolished slavery in French colonies abroad , dechristianised society through the creation of a new calendar and the expulsion of religious figures , and secured the borders of the new republic from its enemies . Large numbers of civilians were executed by revolutionary tribunals during the Terror , with estimates ranging from 16,000 to 40,000 . After the Thermidorian Reaction , an executive council known as the Directory assumed control of the French state in 1795 . The rule of the Directory was characterised by suspended elections , debt repudiations , financial instability , persecutions against the Catholic clergy , and significant military conquests abroad . Dogged by charges of corruption , the Directory collapsed in a coup led by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799 . Napoleon , who became the hero of the Revolution through his popular military campaigns , went on to establish the Consulate and later the First Empire , setting the stage for a wider array of global conflicts in the Napoleonic Wars ."

801,801,"Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges , where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge . Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics . When oceanic plates diverge , tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere. The motivating force for seafloor spreading ridges is tectonic plate pull rather than magma pressure , although there is typically significant magma activity at spreading ridges . At a spreading center basaltic magma rises up the fractures and cools on the ocean floor to form new seabed . Hydrothermal vents are common at spreading centers . Older rocks will be found farther away from the spreading zone while younger rocks will be found nearer to the spreading zone . Additionally spreading rates determine if the ridge is a fast , intermediate , or slow . As a general rule , fast ridges see spreading rate of more than 9 cm / year . Intermediate ridges have a spreading rate of 4 -- 9 cm / year while slow spreading ridges have a rate less than 4 cm / year ."

813,813,"One common way to extinguish a fire is to spray it with water . The water has two roles : It vaporizes when it comes in contact with fire , and this vapor displaces the oxygen ( the volume of water vapor is 1,700 times greater than liquid water , at 1,000 ° F ( 538 ° C ) it expands over 4,000 times ) . This leaves the fire without enough of the combustive agent , and it dies out . The vaporization of water also absorbs heat ; it thereby cools the smoke , air , walls , and objects that could act as further fuel , and thus prevents one of the means by which fires grow , which is by `` jumping '' to nearby heat / fuel sources to start new fires , which then combine . Water extinguishment is thus a combination of `` asphyxia '' ( cutting off the oxygen supply ) and cooling . The flame itself is suppressed by asphyxia , but the cooling is the most important element in mastering a fire in a closed area ."

The proportion of decussating fibers varies between species , and is correlated with the degree of binocular vision enjoyed by a species . Most of the axons of the optic nerve terminate in the lateral geniculate nucleus from where information is relayed to the visual cortex , while other axons terminate in the pretectal nucleus and are involved in reflexive eye movements . Other axons terminate in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and are involved in regulating the sleep - wake cycle . Its diameter increases from about 1.6 mm within the eye to 3.5 mm in the orbit to 4.5 mm within the cranial space . The optic nerve component lengths are 1 mm in the globe , 24 mm in the orbit , 9 mm in the optic canal , and 16 mm in the cranial space before joining the optic chiasm .

837,837,"In meteorology , precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity . The main forms of precipitation include drizzle , rain , sleet , snow , graupel and hail . Precipitation occurs when a portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapor , so that the water condenses and `` precipitates '' . Thus , fog and mist are not precipitation but suspensions , because the water vapor does not condense sufficiently to precipitate . Two processes , possibly acting together , can lead to air becoming saturated : cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air . Precipitation forms as smaller droplets coalesce via collision with other rain drops or ice crystals within a cloud . Short , intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called `` showers .

854,854,"A photoelectric , or optical smoke detector contains a source of infrared , visible , or ultraviolet light ( typically an incandescent light bulb or light - emitting diode ) , a lens , and a photoelectric receiver ( typically a photodiode ) . In spot - type detectors all of these components are arranged inside a chamber where air , which may contain smoke from a nearby fire , flows . In large open areas such as atria and auditoriums , optical beam or projected - beam smoke detectors are used instead of a chamber within the unit : a wall - mounted unit emits a beam of infrared or ultraviolet light which is either received and processed by a separate device , or reflected back to the receiver by a reflector . In some types , particularly optical beam types , the light emitted by the light source passes through the air being tested and reaches the photosensor . The received light intensity will be reduced due to scattering from particulates of smoke , air - borne dust , or other substances ; the circuitry detects the light intensity and generates the alarm if it is below a specified threshold , potentially due to smoke . In other types , typically chamber types , the light is not directed at the sensor , which is not illuminated in the absence of particles . If the air in the chamber contains particles ( smoke or dust ) , the light is scattered and some of it reaches the sensor , triggering the alarm ."

Twenty to thirty easy strokes can typically shorten excessively long fingernails , while five to ten strokes are sufficient for shaping the nails ."

972,972,"The kudzu plant was introduced to the United States from Japan in 1876 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia . Kudzu was introduced to the Southeast in 1883 at the New Orleans Exposition . The vine was widely marketed in the Southeast as an ornamental plant to be used to shade porches , and in the first half of the 20th century , kudzu was distributed as a high - protein content cattle fodder and as a cover plant to prevent soil erosion . It was cultivated by Civilian Conservation Corps workers as a solution for the erosion during the Dust Bowl . The Soil Erosion Service recommended the use of kudzu to help control erosion of slopes which led to the government - aided distribution of 85 million seedlings and government - funded plantings of kudzu which paid $19.75 per hectare . By 1946 , it was estimated that 1,200,000 hectares ( 3,000,000 acres ) of kudzu had been planted . When boll weevil infestations and the failure of cotton crops caused farmers to abandon their farms , kudzu plantings were left unattended . The climate and environment of the Southeastern United States allowed the kudzu to grow virtually unchecked . In 1953 the United States Department of Agriculture removed kudzu from a list of suggested cover plants and listed it as a weed in 1970 . By 1997 , the vine was placed on the `` Federal Noxious Weed List '' . Today , kudzu is estimated to cover 3,000,000 hectares ( 7,400,000 acres ) of land in the southeastern United States , mostly in Alabama , Georgia , Tennessee , Florida , North Carolina , South Carolina and Mississippi .

Plasmodesmata evolved independently in several lineages , and species that have these structures include members of the Charophyceae , Charales , Coleochaetales and Phaeophyceae ( which are all algae ) , as well as all embryophytes , better known as land plants . Unlike animal cells , almost every plant cell is surrounded by a polysaccharide cell wall . Neighbouring plant cells are therefore separated by a pair of cell walls and the intervening middle lamella , forming an extracellular domain known as the apoplast . Although cell walls are permeable to small soluble proteins and other solutes , plasmodesmata enable direct , regulated , symplastic transport of substances between cells . There are two forms of plasmodesmata : primary plasmodesmata , which are formed during cell division , and secondary plasmodesmata , which can form between mature cells ."

1002,1002,"Gestalt psychology or gestaltism ( German : Gestalt ( ɡəˈʃtalt ) `` shape , form '' ) is a philosophy of mind of the Berlin School of experimental psychology . Gestalt psychology is an attempt to understand the laws behind the ability to acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in an apparently chaotic world . The central principle of gestalt psychology is that the mind forms a global whole with self - organizing tendencies . The assumed physiological mechanisms on which Gestalt theory rests are poorly defined and support for their existence is lacking . The Gestalt theory of perception has been criticized as being descriptive of the end products of perception without providing much insight into the processes that lead to perception . In the introduction to a 2016 special issue of the journal Vision Research on Gestalt perception , the authors concluded that `` even though they study the same phenomena as earlier Gestaltists , there is little theoretical coherence . What happened to the Gestalt school that always aspired to provide a unified vision of psychology ? Perhaps there is , in fact , little that holds the classic phenomena of Gestalt psychology together . ''"

Long John Silver had a pet parrot called Captain Flint , often seen sitting on his shoulder where she would nibble on seeds . Silver claims to have served in the Royal Navy and lost his leg under `` the immortal Hawke '' . `` His left leg was cut off close by the hip , and under the left shoulder , he carried a crutch , which he managed with wonderful dexterity , hopping about upon it like a bird . He was very tall and strong , with a face as big as a ham -- plain and pale , but intelligent and smiling . '' ( Treasure Island ( 1883 ) by Robert Louis Stevenson page 82 ) . He claims to have been the only man whom Flint ever feared . Like many of Stevenson 's characters , there is more than a modicum of duality in the character ; ostensibly Silver is a hardworking and likeable seaman , and it is only as the plot unfolds that his villainous nature is gradually revealed . His relationship with Jim Hawkins , the novel 's protagonist and narrator , is interesting , as he serves as a mentor and eventually father - figure to Jim , creating much shock and emotion when it is discovered that he is in charge of the mutiny , and especially when Jim must confront and fight him later on . Although willing to change sides at any time to further his own interests , Silver has compensating virtues : he is wise enough to pay attention to money management , in contrast to the spendthrift ways of most of the pirates , and is physically courageous despite his disability ; for instance , when Flint 's cache is found to be empty , he coolly stands his ground against five active seamen despite having only Jim , a boy in his teens , to back him ."

The lyrics reflect his frustration with the atmosphere in the group at that time -- namely , Paul McCartney 's over-assertiveness and criticism of his guitar playing , John Lennon 's lack of engagement with the project and dismissal of Harrison as a songwriter , and Yoko Ono 's constant involvement in the band 's activities . Music critics and biographers recognise the song as Harrison 's statement of personal and artistic freedom from the Beatles . Its creation contrasted sharply with his rewarding collaborations outside the group in the months before the Get Back project , particularly with Bob Dylan and the Band in upstate New York ."

On the surface of it , it appears that it is all about the Casuarina tree , but actually the tree is just a medium to link the poet 's past with the present . The poet remembers the tree because of the many happy memories of childhood days that are linked to it which are a source of comfort and consolation to her in another country . The poem , therefore , underlines the importance of memories in human life . The tree brings to her mind the memories of time when she used to play under it in the company of her brother and sister , both of whom are already dead .

1104,1104,"There are several different units in use around the world for defining blood alcohol concentration . Each is defined as either a mass of alcohol per volume of blood or a mass of alcohol per mass of blood ( never a volume per volume ) . 1 milliliter of blood has a mass of approximately 1.06 grams . Because of this , units by volume are similar but not identical to units by mass . In the U.S. the concentration unit 1 % w / v ( percent mass / volume , equivalent to 10 g / l or 1 g per 100 ml ) is in use . This is not to be confused with the amount of alcohol measured on the breath , as with a breathalyzer . The amount of alcohol measured on the breath is generally accepted as proportional to the amount of alcohol present in the blood at a rate of 1 : 2100 . Therefore , a breathalyzer measurement of 0.10 mg / L of breath alcohol converts to 0.0001 × 2100 g / 10dL , or 0.021 g / dL of blood alcohol ( the units of the BAC in the United States ) .

1106,1106,"The famous order `` Do n't fire until you see the whites of their eyes '' was popularized in stories about the battle of Bunker Hill . It is uncertain as to who said it there , since various histories , including eyewitness accounts , attribute it to Putnam , Stark , Prescott , or Gridley , and it may have been said first by one , and repeated by the others . It was also not an original statement . The idea dates originally to the general - king Gustavus Adolphus ( 1594 -- 1632 ) who gave standing orders to his musketeers : `` never to give fire , till they could see their own image in the pupil of their enemy 's eye '' . Gustavus Adolphus 's military teachings were widely admired and imitated and caused this saying to be often repeated . It was used by General James Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham , when his troops defeated Montcalm 's army on September 13 , 1759 . The earliest similar quote came from the Battle of Dettingen on June 27 , 1743 , where Lieutenant - Colonel Sir Andrew Agnew of Lochnaw warned his Regiment , the Royal Scots Fusiliers , not to fire until they could `` see the white of their e'en . '' The phrase was also used by Prince Charles of Prussia in 1745 , and repeated in 1755 by Frederick the Great , and may have been mentioned in histories the colonial military leaders were familiar with . Whether or not it was actually said in this battle , it was clear that the colonial military leadership were regularly reminding their troops to hold their fire until the moment when it would have the greatest effect , especially in situations where their ammunition would be limited ."

Stimulation of the ARAS produces EEG desynchronization by suppressing slow cortical waves ( 0.3 -- 1 Hz ) , delta waves ( 1 -- 4 Hz ) , and spindle wave oscillations ( 11 -- 14 Hz ) and by promoting gamma band ( 20 -- 40 Hz ) oscillations ."

While other inventors had produced devices that could record sounds , Edison 's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the recorded sound . His phonograph originally recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet wrapped around a rotating cylinder . A stylus responding to sound vibrations produced an up and down or hill - and - dale groove in the foil . Alexander Graham Bell 's Volta Laboratory made several improvements in the 1880s and introduced the graphophone , including the use of wax - coated cardboard cylinders and a cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a zig zag groove around the record . In the 1890s , Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to near the center , coining the term gramophone for disc record players , which is predominantly used in many languages . Later improvements through the years included modifications to the turntable and its drive system , the stylus or needle , and the sound and equalization systems ."

Tyrion is commanded by his father to marry Sansa Stark ; however , on the wedding night , Tyrion refuses to consummate his marriage and instead lets Sansa sleep alone , promising not to touch her unless she wanted him to . The death of her brother Robb , in which Tyrion took no part , causes a further rift between the couple and between Tyrion and his father , who he claims ca n't distinguish between his interests and his often - praised ideal of devotion to family . Tywin bitterly claims that he had wanted to drown Tyrion upon birth , but stayed himself for the sake of duty . In season 4 , Tyrion welcomes Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne to King 's Landing for Joffrey 's wedding to Margaery Tyrell , though Oberyn implies to Tyrion that his true purpose is to seek vengeance for his sister , who was murdered by Ser Gregor Clegane on Tywin 's orders . When Joffrey is fatally poisoned , Tyrion is framed and arrested . Tyrion , however , implies that Cersei knows of his innocence and just wants him dead . At Tyrion 's trial , he demands a trial by combat . Tyrion is approached by Oberyn , who volunteers to be his champion in order to fight Cersei 's champion , Ser Gregor Clegane . When Oberyn loses the fight and is killed , Tyrion is sentenced to death . Jaime , however , frees Tyrion and arranges for him to escape King 's Landing .

Tyrion tells her everything , including Varys ' plan . He initially counsels her to stay in Meereen , but Daenerys makes it plain to him that her eyes are still on Westeros . Tyrion tells Daenerys how hard it will be to win the love of both the common people and the nobles . He later joins her at the opening celebrations of Daznak 's Pit , where Jorah unexpectedly reappears to defeat every other foe on the arena . As the Sons of the Harpy attack , Tyrion manages to survive by fleeing to the midst of the arena , where they are rescued by Drogon , while Daenerys is spirited away on his back . In season 6 , Tyrion struggles to maintain peace in Meereen , particularly when the Sons of the Harpy burn the entire Meereenese Navy , stranding them in Slaver 's Bay . Following an alliance with Theon and Yara Greyjoy , Tyrion advises Daenerys to break up with Daario so that she may pursue a marriage alliance in Westeros .

1323,1323,"where C H O is glucose ( which is subsequently transformed into other sugars , cellulose , lignin , and so forth ) . The value of the photosynthetic efficiency is dependent on how light energy is defined -- it depends on whether we count only the light that is absorbed , and on what kind of light is used ( see Photosynthetically active radiation ) . It takes eight ( or perhaps 10 or more ) photons to utilize one molecule of CO . The Gibbs free energy for converting a mole of CO to glucose is 114 kcal , whereas eight moles of photons of wavelength 600 nm contains 381 kcal , giving a nominal efficiency of 30 % . However , photosynthesis can occur with light up to wavelength 720 nm so long as there is also light at wavelengths below 680 nm to keep Photosystem II operating ( see Chlorophyll ) . Using longer wavelengths means less light energy is needed for the same number of photons and therefore for the same amount of photosynthesis . For actual sunlight , where only 45 % of the light is in the photosynthetically active wavelength range , the theoretical maximum efficiency of solar energy conversion is approximately 11 % . In actuality , however , plants do not absorb all incoming sunlight ( due to reflection , respiration requirements of photosynthesis and the need for optimal solar radiation levels ) and do not convert all harvested energy into biomass , which results in an overall photosynthetic efficiency of 3 to 6 % of total solar radiation . If photosynthesis is inefficient , excess light energy must be dissipated to avoid damaging the photosynthetic apparatus . Energy can be dissipated as heat ( non-photochemical quenching ) , or emitted as chlorophyll fluorescence ."

After the development of his electron capture detector , James Lovelock was the first to detect the widespread presence of CFCs in the air , finding a mole fraction of 60 ppt of CFC - 11 over Ireland . In a self - funded research expedition ending in 1973 , Lovelock went on to measure CFC - 11 in both the Arctic and Antarctic , finding the presence of the gas in each of 50 air samples collected , and concluding that CFCs are not hazardous to the environment . The experiment did however provide the first useful data on the presence of CFCs in the atmosphere . The damage caused by CFCs was discovered by Sherry Rowland and Mario Molina who , after hearing a lecture on the subject of Lovelock 's work , embarked on research resulting in the first publication suggesting the connection in 1974 . It turns out that one of CFCs ' most attractive features -- their low reactivity -- is key to their most destructive effects . CFCs ' lack of reactivity gives them a lifespan that can exceed 100 years , giving them time to diffuse into the upper stratosphere . Once in the stratosphere , the sun 's ultraviolet radiation is strong enough to cause the homolytic cleavage of the C - Cl bond ."

Photon energy is directly proportional to the wave frequency , so gamma ray photons have the highest energy ( around a billion electron volts ) , while radio wave photons have very low energy ( around a femtoelectronvolt ) . These relations are illustrated by the following equations :"

1513,1513,"A typical explanation found in the scientific literature for the evolution of light hair is related to the evolution of light skin , and in turn the requirement for vitamin D synthesis and northern Europe 's seasonal less solar radiation .

The darker pigmentation at higher latitudes in certain ethnic groups such as the Inuit is explained by a greater proportion of seafood in their diet and by the climate which they live in , because in the polar climate there is more ice or snow on the ground , and this reflects the solar radiation onto the skin , making this environment lack the conditions for the person to have blond , brown or red hair , light skin and blue , grey or green eyes ."

1589,1589,"In the spring of 1928 , Disney asked Ub Iwerks to start drawing up new character ideas .

They would later turn up as Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar . A male frog was also rejected . It would later show up in Iwerks ' own Flip the Frog series . Walt Disney got the inspiration for Mickey Mouse from a tame mouse at his desk at Laugh - O - Gram Studio in Kansas City , Missouri . In 1925 , Hugh Harman drew some sketches of mice around a photograph of Walt Disney . These inspired Ub Iwerks to create a new mouse character for Disney . `` Mortimer Mouse '' had been Disney 's original name for the character before his wife , Lillian , convinced him to change it , and ultimately Mickey Mouse came to be . The actor Mickey Rooney claimed that , during his Mickey McGuire days , he met cartoonist Walt Disney at the Warner Brothers studio , and that Disney was inspired to name Mickey Mouse after him . This claim , however , has been debunked by Disney historian Jim Korkis , since at the time of Mickey Mouse 's development , Disney Studios had been located on Hyperion Avenue for several years , and Walt Disney never kept an office or other working space at Warner Brothers , having no professional relationship with Warner Brothers , as the Alice Comedies and Oswald cartoons were distributed by Universal ."

1592,1592,"The peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) is one of the two components of the nervous system , the other part is the central nervous system ( CNS ) . The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord . The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs , essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body . Unlike the CNS , the PNS is not protected by the vertebral column and skull , or by the blood -- brain barrier , which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries . The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system . In the somatic nervous system , the cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of the optic nerve ( cranial nerve II ) , along with the retina . The second cranial nerve is not a true peripheral nerve but a tract of the diencephalon . Cranial nerve ganglia originated in the CNS . However , the remaining ten cranial nerve axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of the PNS . The autonomic nervous system is an involuntary control of smooth muscle and glands . The connection between CNS and organs allows the system to be in two different functional states : sympathetic and parasympathetic ."

The time between mating and egg - laying can be days or weeks . The actual egg fertilization takes place during the egg - laying . This process also permits the laying of fertile eggs the following season , as the sperm can remain viable and available in the female 's body in the absence of mating . During the last weeks of gestation , the female spends less time in the water and smells and scratches at the ground , indicating she is searching for a suitable place to lay her eggs .

One of the most notable PPNA settlements is Jericho in the Levant region , thought to be the world 's first town ( settled around 8500 BC and fortified around 6800 BC ) . In Mesopotamia , the convergence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers produced rich fertile soil and a supply of water for irrigation .

The period known as the Ubaid period ( c. 6500 to 3800 BC ) is the earliest known period on the alluvial plain , although it is likely earlier periods exist obscured under the alluvium . It was during the Ubaid period that the movement towards urbanization began . Agriculture and animal husbandry were widely practiced in sedentary communities , particularly in Northern Mesopotamia , and intensive irrigated hydraulic agriculture began to be practiced in the south .

1763,1763,"By 2004 , 58 receptor tyrosine kinases ( RTKs ) were known , grouped into 20 subfamilies . They play pivotal roles in diverse cellular activities including growth ( by signaling neurotrophins ) , differentiation , metabolism , adhesion , motility , death . RTKs are composed of an extracellular domain , which is able to bind a specific ligand , a transmembrane domain , and an intracellular catalytic domain , which is able to bind and phosphorylate selected substrates . Binding of a ligand to the extracellular region causes a series of structural rearrangements in the RTK that lead to its enzymatic activation . In particular , movement of some parts of the kinase domain gives free access to adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) and the substrate to the active site . This triggers a cascade of events through phosphorylation of intracellular proteins that ultimately transmit ( `` transduce '' ) the extracellular signal to the nucleus , causing changes in gene expression . Many RTKs are involved in oncogenesis , either by gene mutation , or chromosome translocation , or simply by over-expression . In every case , the result is a hyper - active kinase , that confers an aberrant , ligand - independent , non-regulated growth stimulus to the cancer cells ."

Silverstein is famous for being a children 's poet , yet many of the ideas tucked in the corner of Where the Sidewalk Ends are made for adults . Silverstein argues that adults live in a world that is dreary , and that children live in a world full of life and joy . Silverstein is saying that adults need to go to the place that children know ; essentially telling adults to take a step back and to take on the point of view of a child to find the life and joy that they have ."

1815,1815,"Before 1986 , people often did not obtain a Social Security number until the age of about 14 , since the numbers were used for income tracking purposes , and those under that age seldom had substantial income . The Tax Reform Act of 1986 required parents to list Social Security numbers for each dependent over the age of 5 for whom the parent wanted to claim a tax deduction . Before this act , parents claiming tax deductions were simply trusted not to lie about the number of children they supported . During the first year of the Tax Reform Act , this anti-fraud change resulted in seven million fewer minor dependents being claimed . The disappearance of these dependents is believed to have involved either children who never existed or tax deductions improperly claimed by non-custodial parents . In 1988 , the threshold was lowered to 2 years old , and in 1990 , the threshold was lowered yet again to 1 year old . Today , an SSN is required regardless of the child 's age to receive an exemption . Since then , parents have often applied for Social Security numbers for their children soon after birth ; today , it can be done on the application for a birth certificate ."
1816,1816,"The nervous system is the part of an animal that coordinates its actions by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body . Nervous tissue first arose in wormlike organisms about 550 to 600 million years ago . In vertebrates it consists of two main parts , the central nervous system ( CNS ) and the peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) . The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord . The PNS consists mainly of nerves , which are enclosed bundles of the long fibers or axons , that connect the CNS to every other part of the body . Nerves that transmit signals from the brain are called motor or efferent nerves , while those nerves that transmit information from the body to the CNS are called sensory or afferent . Spinal nerves serve both functions and are called mixed nerves . The PNS is divided into three separate subsystems , the somatic , autonomic , and enteric nervous systems . Somatic nerves mediate voluntary movement . The autonomic nervous system is further subdivided into the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems . The sympathetic nervous system is activated in cases of emergencies to mobilize energy , while the parasympathetic nervous system is activated when organisms are in a relaxed state . The enteric nervous system functions to control the gastrointestinal system . Both autonomic and enteric nervous systems function involuntarily . Nerves that exit from the cranium are called cranial nerves while those exiting from the spinal cord are called spinal nerves ."
1817,1817,"Although the safest way to recognize a chord 's root is , after having reduced the chord to close spacing , to rearrange it as a stack of thirds , there are shortcuts to this : in inverted triads , the root is directly above the interval of a fourth , in inverted sevenths , it is directly above the interval of a second . With chord types , such as chords with added sixths or chords over pedal points , more than one possible chordal analysis may be possible . For example , in a tonal piece of music , the notes C , E , G , A , sounded as a chord , could be analyzed as a C major sixth chord in root position ( a major triad -- C , E , G -- with an added sixth -- A -- above the root ) or as a first inversion A minor seventh chord ( the A minor seventh chord contains the notes A , C , E and G , but in this example , the C note , the third of the A minor chord , is in the bass ) . Deciding which note is the root of this chord could be determined by considering context . If the chord spelled C , E , G , A occurs immediately before a D chord ( spelled D , F ♯ , A , C ) , most theorists and musicians would consider the first chord a minor seventh chord in first inversion , because the progression ii -- V is a standard chord movement ."

1830,1830,"A river delta is a landform that forms from deposition of sediment carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower - moving or stagnant water . This occurs where a river enters an ocean , sea , estuary , lake , reservoir , or ( more rarely ) another river that can not transport away the supplied sediment . The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment and receiving basin processes that redistribute , sequester , and export that sediment . The size , geometry , and location of the receiving basin also plays an important role in delta evolution . River deltas are important in human civilization , as they are major agricultural production centers and population centers . They can provide coastline defense and can impact drinking water supply . They are also ecologically important , with different species assemblages depending on their landscape position ."

1844,1844,"A large - scale example of an action performed by the cytoskeleton is muscle contraction . In the muscle , there are groups of highly specialized cells that work together to perform a function known as muscle contraction . A main component in the cytoskeleton that helps show the true function of this muscle contraction is known as a microfilament . Microfilaments are composed of the most abundant cellular protein known as actin . During contraction of a muscle , within each muscle cell , myosin molecular motors collectively exert forces on parallel actin filaments . Muscle contraction starts from nerve impulses which then causes increased amounts of calcium to be released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum . Increases in calcium in the cytosol allows muscle contraction to begin with the help of two proteins , tropomyosin and troponin . Tropomyosin inhibits the interaction between actin and myosin , while troponin senses the increase in calcium and releases the inhibition . This action contracts the muscle cell , and through the synchronous process in many muscle cells , the entire muscle ."

2076,2076,"The new style was also encouraged by changes in the economic order and social structure . As the 18th century progressed , the nobility became the primary patrons of instrumental music , while public taste increasingly preferred lighter , funny comic operas . This led to changes in the way music was performed , the most crucial of which was the move to standard instrumental groups and the reduction in the importance of the continuo -- the rhythmic and harmonic groundwork of a piece of music , typically played by a keyboard ( harpsichord or organ ) and usually accompanied by a varied group of bass instruments , including cello , double bass , bass viol , and theorbo . One way to trace the decline of the continuo and its figured chords is to examine the disappearance of the term obbligato , meaning a mandatory instrumental part in a work of chamber music .

2236,2236,"In the auditory system , sound vibrations ( mechanical energy ) are transduced into electrical energy by hair cells in the inner ear . Sound vibrations from an object cause vibrations in air molecules , which in turn , vibrate your ear drum . The movement of the eardrum causes the bones of your middle ear ( the ossicles ) to vibrate . These vibrations then pass in to the cochlea , the organ of hearing . Within the cochlea , the hair cells on the sensory epithelium of the organ of Corti bend and cause movement of the basilar membrane . The membrane undulates in different sized waves according to the frequency of the sound . Hair cells are then able to convert this movement ( mechanical energy ) into electrical signals ( graded receptor potentials ) which travel along auditory nerves to hearing centres in the brain ."

MON testing uses a similar test engine to that used in RON testing , but with a preheated fuel mixture , higher engine speed , and variable ignition timing to further stress the fuel 's knock resistance . Depending on the composition of the fuel , the MON of a modern pump gasoline will be about 8 to 12 octane lower than the RON , but there is no direct link between RON and MON . Pump gasoline specifications typically require both a minimum RON and a minimum MON ."

2247,2247,"Between 1877 and 1878 , Oscar Hertwig published several studies on the fertilization of sea urchin eggs , showing that the nucleus of the sperm enters the oocyte and fuses with its nucleus . This was the first time it was suggested that an individual develops from a ( single ) nucleated cell . This was in contradiction to Ernst Haeckel 's theory that the complete phylogeny of a species would be repeated during embryonic development , including generation of the first nucleated cell from a `` monerula '' , a structureless mass of primordial mucus ( `` Urschleim '' ) . Therefore , the necessity of the sperm nucleus for fertilization was discussed for quite some time . However , Hertwig confirmed his observation in other animal groups , including amphibians and molluscs . Eduard Strasburger produced the same results for plants in 1884 . This paved the way to assign the nucleus an important role in heredity . In 1873 , August Weismann postulated the equivalence of the maternal and paternal germ cells for heredity . The function of the nucleus as carrier of genetic information became clear only later , after mitosis was discovered and the Mendelian rules were rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century ; the chromosome theory of heredity was therefore developed ."

2295,2295,"In 1858 Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published a new evolutionary theory , explained in detail in Darwin 's On the Origin of Species ( 1859 ) . Unlike Lamarck , Darwin proposed common descent and a branching tree of life , meaning that two very different species could share a common ancestor . Darwin based his theory on the idea of natural selection : it synthesized a broad range of evidence from animal husbandry , biogeography , geology , morphology , and embryology . Debate over Darwin 's work led to the rapid acceptance of the general concept of evolution , but the specific mechanism he proposed , natural selection , was not widely accepted until it was revived by developments in biology that occurred during the 1920s through the 1940s . Before that time most biologists regarded other factors as responsible for evolution . Alternatives to natural selection suggested during `` the eclipse of Darwinism '' ( c. 1880 to 1920 ) included inheritance of acquired characteristics ( neo-Lamarckism ) , an innate drive for change ( orthogenesis ) , and sudden large mutations ( saltationism ) . Mendelian genetics , a series of 19th - century experiments with pea plant variations rediscovered in 1900 , was integrated with natural selection by Ronald Fisher , J.B.S. Haldane , and Sewall Wright during the 1910s to 1930s , and resulted in the founding of the new discipline of population genetics . During the 1930s and 1940s population genetics became integrated with other biological fields , resulting in a widely applicable theory of evolution that encompassed much of biology -- the modern synthesis ."

2303,2303,"According to the National Park Service , the idea for the Statue of Liberty was first proposed by Édouard René de Laboulaye the president of the French Anti-Slavery Society and a prominent and important political thinker of his time . The project is traced to a mid-1865 conversation between de Laboulaye , a staunch abolitionist and Frédéric Bartholdi , a sculptor . In after - dinner conversation at his home near Versailles , Laboulaye , an ardent supporter of the Union in the American Civil War , is supposed to have said : `` If a monument should rise in the United States , as a memorial to their independence , I should think it only natural if it were built by united effort -- a common work of both our nations . '' The National Park Service , in a 2000 report , however , deemed this a legend traced to an 1885 fundraising pamphlet , and that the statue was most likely conceived in 1870 . In another essay on their website , the Park Service suggested that Laboulaye was minded to honor the Union victory and its consequences , `` With the abolition of slavery and the Union 's victory in the Civil War in 1865 , Laboulaye 's wishes of freedom and democracy were turning into a reality in the United States . In order to honor these achievements , Laboulaye proposed that a gift be built for the United States on behalf of France . Laboulaye hoped that by calling attention to the recent achievements of the United States , the French people would be inspired to call for their own democracy in the face of a repressive monarchy .

2308,2308,"Unlike passive transport , which uses the kinetic energy and natural entropy of molecules moving down a gradient , active transport uses cellular energy to move them against a gradient , polar repulsion , or other resistance . Active transport is usually associated with accumulating high concentrations of molecules that the cell needs , such as ions , glucose and amino acids . If the process uses chemical energy , such as from adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) , it is termed primary active transport . Secondary active transport involves the use of an electrochemical gradient . Examples of active transport include the uptake of glucose in the intestines in humans and the uptake of mineral ions into root hair cells of plants ."

The conventional dates of Solomon 's reign are circa 970 to 931 BCE . This puts the date of its construction in the mid-10th century BCE . Schmid and Rupprecht are of the view that the site of the temple used to be a Jebusite shrine which Solomon chose in an attempt to unify the Jebusites and Israelites. 1 Kings 9 : 10 says that it took Solomon 20 years altogether to build the Temple and his royal palace . The Temple itself finished being built after 7 years . During the united monarchy the Temple was dedicated to Yahweh , the God of Israel , and housed the Ark of the Covenant .

'' This view may be given credence by similarly Otter - themed place names in Scotland , and the resemblance of Flat Top to Beinn Dorain in the ancestral Ewing area of Argyll and Bute . Other theories for the naming off the Peaks of Otter include the anglicizing of the Cherokee word `` Otari '' meaning `` high places '' or the naming of the mountains after the Otter River , which starts nearby and presumably got named for otters downstream ."

In the early days of automobile manufacturing there was no identical matching transmission , body frame , and engine numbers . It was possible to change engines and repaint the car or truck and in effect turn it into a different vehicle and thus it became near impossible to prove that the vehicle was stolen . The term `` hot '' was equivalent to being stolen . The term `` rod '' was equivalent to any motorized vehicle . Even today , the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in its vehicle emissions regulations , refers to a `` hotrod '' as any motorized vehicle that has a replacement engine differing from the factory original . Another possible origin includes replacement of the camshaft with a new ( `` hotter '' ) version , sometimes known as a hot stick or hot rod . Roadsters were the cars of choice because they were light , easy to modify , and inexpensive . The term became commonplace in the 1930s or 1940s as the name of a car that had been `` hopped up '' by modifying the engine for higher performance . A term common in the early days was `` gow job '' . This has fallen into disuse except with historians ."

2559,2559,"In rugby union a scrum is a means of restarting play after a minor infringement . It involves up to eight players from each team , known as the pack or forward pack , binding together in three rows and interlocking with the free opposing teams forwards . At this point the ball is fed into the gap between the two forward packs and they both compete for the ball to win possession . Teams can be penalised for intentionally causing the scrum to collapse , and for not putting the ball into the scrum correctly . A scrum is most commonly awarded when the ball is knocked forward , or passed forward , or when a ball becomes trapped in a ruck or maul . Because of the physical nature of scrums , injuries can occur , especially in the front row ."

2561,2561,"However , although he is often connected with absolutism , Bodin held some moderate opinions on how government should in practice be carried out . He held that although the sovereign is not obliged to , it is advisable for him , as a practical expedient , to convene a senate from whom he can obtain advice , to delegate some power to magistrates for the practical administration of the law , and to use the Estates as a means of communicating with the people . Furthermore , he emphasized that a sovereign is bound to observe certain basic rules derived from the divine law , the law of nature or reason , and the law that is common to all nations ( jus gentium ) , as well as the fundamental laws of the state that determine who is the sovereign , who succeeds to sovereignty , and what limits the sovereign power . Thus , Bodin 's sovereign was restricted by the constitutional law of the state and by the higher law that was considered as binding upon every human being . Bodin believed that `` the most divine , most excellent , and the state form most proper to royalty is governed partly aristocratically and partly democratically '' . With his doctrine that sovereignty is conferred by divine law , Bodin predefined the scope of the divine right of kings ."

2565,2565,"Comte first described the epistemological perspective of positivism in The Course in Positive Philosophy , a series of texts published between 1830 and 1842 . These texts were followed by the 1848 work , A General View of Positivism ( published in English in 1865 ) . The first three volumes of the Course dealt chiefly with the physical sciences already in existence ( mathematics , astronomy , physics , chemistry , biology ) , whereas the latter two emphasised the inevitable coming of social science . Observing the circular dependence of theory and observation in science , and classifying the sciences in this way , Comte may be regarded as the first philosopher of science in the modern sense of the term . Comte was also the first to distinguish natural philosophy from science explicitly . For him , the physical sciences had necessarily to arrive first , before humanity could adequately channel its efforts into the most challenging and complex `` Queen science '' of human society itself . His work View of Positivism would therefore set out to define , in more detail , the empirical goals of sociological method ."

2567,2567,"The Dust Bowl , also known as the Dirty Thirties , was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s ; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion ( the Aeolian processes ) caused the phenomenon . The drought came in three waves , 1934 , 1936 , and 1939 -- 1940 , but some regions of the high plains experienced drought conditions for as many as eight years . With insufficient understanding of the ecology of the plains , farmers had conducted extensive deep plowing of the virgin topsoil of the Great Plains during the previous decade ; this had displaced the native , deep - rooted grasses that normally trapped soil and moisture even during periods of drought and high winds . The rapid mechanization of farm equipment , especially small gasoline tractors , and widespread use of the combine harvester contributed to farmers ' decisions to convert arid grassland ( much of which received no more than 10 inches ( 250 mm ) of precipitation per year ) to cultivated cropland ."

2572,2572,"The practice of blessing someone who sneezes dates as far back as at least AD 77 , although it is far older than most specific explanations can account for . Some have offered an explanation suggesting that people once held the folk belief that a person 's soul could be thrown from their body when they sneezed , that sneezing otherwise opened the body to invasion by the Devil or evil spirits , or that sneezing was the body 's effort to force out an invading evil presence . In these cases , `` God bless you '' or `` bless you '' is used as a sort of shield against evil . The Irish Folk story `` Master and Man '' by Thomas Crofton Croker , collected by William Butler Yeats , describes this variation . Moreover , in the past some people may have thought that the heart stops beating during a sneeze , and that the phrase `` God bless you '' encourages the heart to continue beating ."

2592,2592,"Thermoregulation in organisms runs along a spectrum from endothermy to ectothermy . Endotherms create most of their heat via metabolic processes , and are colloquially referred to as warm - blooded . When the surrounding temperatures are cold , endotherms increase metabolic heat production to keep their body temperature constant , thus making the internal body temperature of an endotherm more or less independent of the temperature of the environment . One metabolic activity , in terms of generating heat , that endotherms are able to do is that they possess a larger number of mitochondria per cell than ectotherms , enabling them to generate more heat by increasing the rate at which they metabolize fats and sugars . Ectotherms use external sources of temperature to regulate their body temperatures . They are colloquially referred to as cold - blooded despite the fact that body temperatures often stay within the same temperature ranges as warm - blooded animals . Ectotherms are the opposite of endotherms when it comes to regulating internal temperatures . In ectotherms , the internal physiological sources of heat are of negligible importance ; the biggest factor that enables them to maintain adequate body temperatures is due to environmental influences . Living in areas that maintain a constant temperature throughout the year , like the tropics or the ocean , have enabled ectotherms to develop a wide range of behavioral mechanisms that enable them to respond to external temperatures , such as sun - bathing to increase body temperature , or seeking the cover of shade to lower body temperature ."

2627,2627,"In nuclear physics , beta decay ( β - decay ) is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray ( fast energetic electron or positron ) and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus . For example , beta decay of a neutron transforms it into a proton by the emission of an electron , or conversely a proton is converted into a neutron by the emission of a positron ( positron emission ) , thus changing the nuclide type . Neither the beta particle nor its associated neutrino exist within the nucleus prior to beta decay , but are created in the decay process . By this process , unstable atoms obtain a more stable ratio of protons to neutrons . The probability of a nuclide decaying due to beta and other forms of decay is determined by its nuclear binding energy . The binding energies of all existing nuclides form what is called the nuclear band or valley of stability . For either electron or positron emission to be energetically possible , the energy release ( see below ) or Q value must be positive ."

2725,2725,"Although attempts to regulate campaign finance by legislation date back to 1867 , the modern era of `` campaign finance reform '' in the United States begins with the passage of the Federal Election Campaign Act ( FECA ) of 1971 and , more importantly , 1974 amendments to that Act . The 1971 FECA required candidates to disclose sources of campaign contributions and campaign expenditures . The 1974 Amendments essentially rewrote the Act from top to bottom . The 1974 Amendments placed statutory limits on contributions by individuals for the first time , and created the Federal Election Commission ( FEC ) as an independent enforcement agency . It provided for broad new disclosure requirements , and limited the amounts that candidates could spend on their campaigns , or that citizens could spend separate from candidate campaigns to promote their political views . Specifically , it attempted to restrict the influence of wealthy individuals by limiting individual donations to $1,000 and donations by political action committees ( PACs ) to $5,000 .

2727,2727,"One of the more enduring legacies of Ashoka was the model that he provided for the relationship between Buddhism and the state . Emperor Ashoka was seen as a role model to leaders within the Buddhist community . He not only provided guidance and strength , but he also created personal relationships with his supporters . Throughout Theravada Southeastern Asia , the model of rulership embodied by Ashoka replaced the notion of divine kingship that had previously dominated ( in the Angkor kingdom , for instance ) . Under this model of ' Buddhist kingship ' , the king sought to legitimise his rule not through descent from a divine source , but by supporting and earning the approval of the Buddhist sangha . Following Ashoka 's example , kings established monasteries , funded the construction of stupas , and supported the ordination of monks in their kingdom . Many rulers also took an active role in resolving disputes over the status and regulation of the sangha , as Ashoka had in calling a conclave to settle a number of contentious issues during his reign . This development ultimately led to a close association in many Southeast Asian countries between the monarchy and the religious hierarchy , an association that can still be seen today in the state - supported Buddhism of Thailand and the traditional role of the Thai king as both a religious and secular leader . Ashoka also said that all his courtiers always governed the people in a moral manner ."

Per state law , a firearm is considered `` loaded '' when a magazine with live ammunition is inserted into the weapon and / or a live round is in the firing chamber . ( citation needed ) Additionally , state law ( NMSA 29 - 19 - 2 ) defines a concealed handgun as `` a loaded handgun that is not visible to the ordinary observations of a reasonable person . '' This definition creates legal ambiguity for partially - exposed weapons , as the firearm may be visible to one person and thus no violation of law occurs since it would be viewed as open carry . The partially - exposed weapon may not be readily visible to a second person , thus potentially placing the carrying person in violation of the state 's concealed carry law if the individual carrying does not have a valid license for concealed carry . A CHL is not required for open carry , concealed carry of an unloaded firearm on foot , or concealed carry of a loaded or unloaded firearm while in a vehicle ( including motorcycles , bicycles , off - road vehicles , motor homes , or riding a horse ) . An applicant for a concealed carry permit must be a resident of New Mexico and at least 21 years of age . Each permit specifies the category and caliber of handgun that may be carried , but is also valid for a smaller caliber . The applicant must complete a state approved training course that includes at least 15 hours of classroom and firing range time , and must pass a shooting proficiency test for that category and caliber of handgun . A permit is valid for four years , but license holders must pass the shooting proficiency test every two years . An applicant may appeal the denial of a Concealed Handgun License by requesting a hearing before the Department of Public Safety within 35 days of receipt of an Order of Denial for a CHL . An unfavorable ruling on the appeal by the DPS may be further appealed through the New Mexico courts .

2838,2838,"Osmoregulators tightly regulate their body osmolarity , maintaining constant internal conditions . They are more common in the animal kingdom . Osmoregulators actively control salt concentrations despite the salt concentrations in the environment . An example is freshwater fish . The gills actively uptake salt from the environment by the use of mitochondria - rich cells . Water will diffuse into the fish , so it excretes a very hypotonic ( dilute ) urine to expel all the excess water . A marine fish has an internal osmotic concentration lower than that of the surrounding seawater , so it tends to lose water and gain salt . It actively excretes salt out from the gills . Most fish are stenohaline , which means they are restricted to either salt or fresh water and can not survive in water with a different salt concentration than they are adapted to . However , some fish show a tremendous ability to effectively osmoregulate across a broad range of salinities ; fish with this ability are known as euryhaline species , e.g. , Flounder . Flounder have been observed to inhabit two utterly disparate environments -- marine and fresh water -- and it is inherent to adapt to both by bringing in behavioral and physiological modifications ."

2892,2892,"Female fertility is affected by age . Age is thus a major fertility factor for women . Menarche , the first menstrual period , usually occurs around 12 - 13 , although it may happen earlier or later , depending on each girl . After puberty , female fertility increases and then decreases , with advanced maternal age causing an increased risk of female infertility . In humans , a woman 's fertility peaks in the early and mid-20s , after which it starts to decline slowly . While many sources suggest a more dramatic drop at around 35 , this is unclear since studies are still cited from the nineteenth century and earlier . One 2004 study of European women found fertility of the 27 - 34 and the 35 -- 39 groups had only a four - percent difference . At age 45 , a woman starting to try to conceive will have no live birth in 50 -- 80 percent of cases .

The main theme is an electronic transcription of Henry Purcell 's Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary , composed in 1695 , for the procession of Queen Mary 's cortège through London en route to Westminster Abbey . `` March from ' A Clockwork Orange ' '' ( based on the choral movement of the Ninth Symphony by Beethoven ) was the first recorded song featuring a vocoder for the singing ; synthpop bands often cite it as their inspiration .

Eventually , U.S. missions were carried out at a more constant rate by sending out increasing number of military assistance from the United States . Their main intent was to restrict the Communist domination that was present in the government of Vietnam as it would soon lead to a chain of neighbouring countries adopting the same .

Together with the cochlea , a part of the auditory system , it constitutes the labyrinth of the inner ear in most mammals .

The vestibular system sends signals primarily to the neural structures that control eye movements , and to the muscles that keep an animal upright . The projections to the former provide the anatomical basis of the vestibulo - ocular reflex , which is required for clear vision ; and the projections to the muscles that control posture are necessary to keep an animal upright ."

3174,3174,"Another criticism of the Sinner 's Prayer is that passages used to support it actually are not about the lost repeating a prayer in order to become Christians . The Sinner 's Prayer is often employed in conjunction with Revelation 3 : 20 and Romans 10 : 9 - 10 , 13 . Revelation 3 : 20 is employed to teach that Christ is knocking at the door of one 's heart , and when a lost person asks Him to come inside , Jesus comes into the sinner 's heart . Romans 10 : 9 - 10 , 13 are employed to affirm that one must confess with his mouth , that is , say the sinner 's prayer , in order to become a Christian . However , the Baptist Greek professor Thomas Ross argues that Revelation 3 : 20 is about members of a church turning to the Lord , not about Christ entering into the heart of the lost . He provides 14 reasons that Revelation 3 : 20 is not about the lost asking Jesus into their hearts to become saved . He similarly argues that Romans 10 : 9 - 14 refers to Christians confessing Christ publicly before men and manifesting a life of prayer , rather than to the lost becoming saved by a one - time repetition of the Sinner 's Prayer ."

The Act was a key domestic achievement .

Inflammation and infection cause injury and structural changes to the lungs , leading to a variety of symptoms . In the early stages , incessant coughing , copious phlegm production , and decreased ability to exercise are common . Many of these symptoms occur when bacteria that normally inhabit the thick mucus grow out of control and cause pneumonia . In later stages , changes in the architecture of the lung , such as pathology in the major airways ( bronchiectasis ) , further exacerbate difficulties in breathing . Other signs include coughing up blood ( hemoptysis ) , high blood pressure in the lung ( pulmonary hypertension ) , heart failure , difficulties getting enough oxygen to the body ( hypoxia ) , and respiratory failure requiring support with breathing masks , such as bilevel positive airway pressure machines or ventilators . Staphylococcus aureus , Haemophilus influenzae , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the three most common organisms causing lung infections in CF patients . In addition to typical bacterial infections , people with CF more commonly develop other types of lung disease .

3248,3248,"The peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) is one of two components that make up the nervous system of bilateral animals , with the other part being the central nervous system ( CNS ) . The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord . The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs , essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body . Unlike the CNS , the PNS is not protected by the vertebral column and skull , or by the blood -- brain barrier , which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries . The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system . In the somatic nervous system , the cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of the optic nerve ( cranial nerve II ) , along with the retina . The second cranial nerve is not a true peripheral nerve but a tract of the diencephalon . Cranial nerve ganglia originated in the CNS . However , the remaining ten cranial nerve axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of the PNS .

3325,3325,"Theory X and Theory Y are theories of human work motivation and management . They were created by Douglas McGregor while he was working at the MIT Sloan School of Management in the 1950s , and developed further in the 1960s . McGregor 's work was rooted in motivation theory alongside the works of Abraham Maslow , who created the hierarchy of needs . The two theories proposed by McGregor describe contrasting models of workforce motivation applied by managers in human resource management , organizational behavior , organizational communication and organizational development . Theory X explains the importance of heightened supervision , external rewards , and penalties , while Theory Y highlights the motivating role of job satisfaction and encourages workers to approach tasks without direct supervision . Management use of Theory X and Theory Y can affect employee motivation and productivity in different ways , and managers may choose to implement strategies from both theories into their practices ."

3334,3334,"Records of honey cakes can be traced to ancient Rome . Food historians ratify that ginger has been seasoning foodstuffs and drinks since antiquity . It is believed gingerbread was first baked in Europe at the end of the 11th century , when returning crusaders brought back the custom of spicy bread from the Middle East . Ginger was not only tasty , it had properties that helped preserve the bread . According to the French legend , gingerbread was brought to Europe in 992 by the Armenian monk , later saint , Gregory of Nicopolis ( Gregory Makar ) . He lived for seven years in Bondaroy , France , near the town of Pithiviers , where he taught gingerbread cooking to priests and other Christians . He died in 999 . An early medieval Christian legend elaborates on the Gospel of Matthew 's account of the birth of Jesus . According to the legend , attested to in a Greek document from the 8th century , of presumed Irish origin and translated into Latin with the title Collectanea et Flores , in addition to gold , frankincense , and myrrh , given as gifts by three `` wise men from the east '' ( magi ) , ginger was the gift of one wise man ( magus ) who was unable to complete the journey to Bethlehem . As he was lingering in his last days in a city in Syria , the magus gave his chest of ginger roots to the Rabbi who had kindly cared for him in his illness . The Rabbi told him of the prophesies of the great King who was to come to the Jews , one of which was that He would be born in Bethlehem , which , in Hebrew , meant `` House of Bread '' . The Rabbi was accustomed to having his young students make houses of bread to eat over time to nourish the hope for their Messiah . The Magus suggested adding ground - up ginger to the bread for zest and flavor . Gingerbread , as we know it today , descends from Medieval European culinary traditions . Gingerbread was also shaped into different forms by monks in Franconia , Germany in the 13th century . Lebkuchen bakers are recorded as early as 1296 in Ulm and 1395 in Nuremberg , Germany . Nuremberg was recognized as the `` Gingerbread Capital of the World '' when in the 1600s the guild started to employ master bakers and skilled workers to create complicated works of art from gingerbread . Medieval bakers used carved boards to create elaborate designs . During the 13th century , the custom spread across Europe . It was taken to Sweden in the 13th century by German immigrants ; there are references from Vadstena Abbey of Swedish nuns baking gingerbread to ease indigestion in 1444 . The traditional sweetener is honey , used by the guild in Nuremberg . Spices used are ginger , cinnamon , cloves , nutmeg and cardamom . Gingerbread figurines date back to the 15th century , and figural biscuit - making was practised in the 16th century . The first documented instance of figure - shaped gingerbread biscuits is from the court of Elizabeth I of England : she had gingerbread figures made in the likeness of some of her important guests ."
3335,3335,"From 1976 to 1983 , several states voluntarily raised their purchase ages to 19 ( or , less commonly , 20 or 21 ) , in part to combat drunk driving fatalities . In 1984 , Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act , which required states to raise their ages for purchase and public possession to 21 by October 1986 or lose 10 % of their federal highway funds . By mid-1988 , all 50 states and the District of Columbia had raised their purchase ages to 21 ( but not Puerto Rico , Guam , or the Virgin Islands , see Additional Notes below ) . South Dakota and Wyoming were the final two states to comply with the age 21 mandate . The current drinking age of 21 remains a point of contention among many Americans , because of it being higher than the age of majority ( 18 in most states ) and higher than the drinking ages of most other countries . The National Minimum Drinking Age Act is also seen as a congressional sidestep of the tenth amendment . Although debates have not been highly publicized , a few states have proposed legislation to lower their drinking age , while Guam has raised its drinking age to 21 in July 2010 ."

He thinks for a moment in silence , and his mind wanders back to his lost Lenore . He thinks the air grows denser and feels the presence of angels , and wonders if God is sending him a sign that he is to forget Lenore . The bird again replies in the negative , suggesting that he can never be free of his memories . The narrator becomes angry , calling the raven a `` thing of evil '' and a `` prophet '' . Finally , he asks the raven whether he will be reunited with Lenore in Heaven . When the raven responds with its typical `` Nevermore '' , he is enraged , and , calling it a liar , commands the bird to return to the `` Plutonian shore '' -- but it does not move . Presumably at the time of the poem 's recitation by the narrator , the raven `` still is sitting '' on the bust of Pallas .

Those who support Diophantus point to the fact that the algebra found in Al - Jabr is slightly more elementary than the algebra found in Arithmetica and that Arithmetica is syncopated while Al - Jabr is fully rhetorical . Those who support Al - Khwarizmi point to the fact that he introduced the methods of `` reduction '' and `` balancing '' ( the transposition of subtracted terms to the other side of an equation , that is , the cancellation of like terms on opposite sides of the equation ) which the term al - jabr originally referred to , and that he gave an exhaustive explanation of solving quadratic equations , supported by geometric proofs , while treating algebra as an independent discipline in its own right . His algebra was also no longer concerned `` with a series of problems to be resolved , but an exposition which starts with primitive terms in which the combinations must give all possible prototypes for equations , which henceforward explicitly constitute the true object of study '' . He also studied an equation for its own sake and `` in a generic manner , insofar as it does not simply emerge in the course of solving a problem , but is specifically called on to define an infinite class of problems '' ."

Once the pollen grain lands on the stigma of a receptive flower ( or a female cone in gymnosperms ) , it takes up water and germinates . Pollen germination is facilitated by hydration on the stigma , as well as by the structure and physiology of the stigma and style . Pollen can also be induced to germinate in vitro ( in a petri dish or test tube ) ."

3401,3401,"Perfusing its body by breathing independently instead of utilizing placental oxygen delivered via the umbilical cord is the first challenge of a newborn . At birth , the baby 's lungs are filled with lung liquid , which is distinct from amniotic fluid . When the newborn is expelled from the birth canal , its central nervous system reacts to the sudden change in temperature and environment . This triggers it to take the first breath , within about 10 seconds after delivery . With the first breaths , there is a fall in pulmonary vascular resistance , and an increase in the surface area available for gas exchange . Over the next 30 seconds the pulmonary blood flow increases and is oxygenated as it flows through the alveoli of the lungs . Oxygenated blood now reaches the left atrium and ventricle , and through the descending aorta reaches the umbilical arteries . Oxygenated blood now stimulates constriction of the umbilical arteries resulting in a reduction in placental blood flow . As the pulmonary circulation increases there is an equivalent reduction in the placental blood flow which normally ceases completely after about three minutes . These two changes result in a rapid redirection of blood flow into the pulmonary vascular bed , from approximately 4 % to 100 % of cardiac output . The increase in pulmonary venous return results in left atrial pressure being slightly higher than right atrial pressure , which closes the foramen ovale . The flow pattern changes results in a drop in blood flow across the ductus arteriosus and the higher blood oxygen content of blood within the aorta stimulates the constriction and ultimately the closure of this fetal circulatory shunt ."

3426,3426,"Impeachment in the United States is an enumerated power of the legislature that allows formal charges to be brought against a civil officer of government for crimes alleged to have been committed . Most impeachments have concerned alleged crimes committed while in office , though there have been a few cases in which Congress has impeached and convicted officials partly for prior crimes . The actual trial on such charges , and subsequent removal of an official upon conviction , is separate from the act of impeachment itself . Impeachment proceedings have been initiated against several presidents of the United States . Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton are the only two presidents to have been successfully impeached by the House of Representatives , and both were later acquitted by the Senate . The impeachment process against Richard Nixon was never completed , as Nixon resigned his office before the vote of the full House for impeachment , but such a vote was widely expected to pass , and the threat of it and a subsequent conviction in the Senate was the impetus for Nixon 's departure . To date , no president has been removed from office by impeachment and conviction . The impeached official continues in office until conviction ."

3481,3481,"Glycolysis is an oxygen independent metabolic pathway , meaning that it does not use molecular oxygen ( i.e. atmospheric oxygen ) for any of its reactions . However the products of glycolysis ( pyruvate and NADH + H ) are sometimes metabolized using atmospheric oxygen . When molecular oxygen is used for the metabolism of the products of glycolysis the process is usually referred to as aerobic , whereas if no oxygen is used the process is said to be anaerobic . Thus , glycolysis occurs , with variations , in nearly all organisms , both aerobic and anaerobic . The wide occurrence of glycolysis indicates that it is one of the most ancient metabolic pathways . Indeed , the reactions that constitute glycolysis and its parallel pathway , the pentose phosphate pathway , occur metal - catalyzed under the oxygen - free conditions of the Archean oceans , also in the absence of enzymes . Glycolysis could thus have originated from chemical constraints of the prebiotic world ."

3581,3581,"In mathematics , a negative number is a real number that is less than zero . Negative numbers represent opposites . If positive represents a movement to the right , negative represents a movement to the left . If positive represents above sea level , then negative represents below sea level . If positive represents a deposit , negative represents a withdrawal . They are often used to represent the magnitude of a loss or deficiency . A debt that is owed may be thought of as a negative asset , a decrease in some quantity may be thought of as a negative increase . If a quantity may have either of two opposite senses , then one may choose to distinguish between those senses -- perhaps arbitrarily -- as positive and negative . In the medical context of fighting a tumor , an expansion could be thought of as a negative shrinkage . Negative numbers are used to describe values on a scale that goes below zero , such as the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales for temperature . The laws of arithmetic for negative numbers ensure that the common sense idea of an opposite is reflected in arithmetic . For example , − ( − 3 ) = 3 because the opposite of an opposite is the original thing ."

The imperial ambitions of the Fascist regime , which aspired to restore the Roman Empire in North Africa and the Mediterranean ( the Mare Nostrum , or the Italian Empire ) , were partially met with the annexation of Albania and the Province of Ljubljana , and the occupation of British Somaliland and other territories , but ultimately collapsed after defeats in the East and North African campaigns . In July 1943 , following the Allied invasion of Sicily , Benito Mussolini was arrested by order of King Victor Emmanuel III , provoking a civil war . Italy surrendered to the Allies at the end of the Italian Campaign . The northern half of the country was occupied by Germans with the fascists help and made a collaborationist puppet state ( with more than 600,000 soldiers ) , while the south was governed by monarchist and liberal forces , which fought for the Allied cause as the Italian Co-Belligerent Army ( at its height numbering more than 50,000 men ) , helped by circa 350,000 partisans of disparate political ideologies that operated all over Italy ."

3592,3592,"`` Beauty and the Beast '' is a song written by lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken for the Disney animated feature film Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) . The film 's theme song , the Broadway - inspired ballad was first recorded by British - American actress Angela Lansbury in her role as the voice of the character Mrs. Potts , and essentially describes the relationship between its two main characters Belle and the Beast , specifically how the couple has learned to accept their differences and in turn change each other for the better . Additionally , the song 's lyrics imply that the feeling of love is as timeless and ageless as a `` tale as old as time '' . Lansbury 's rendition is heard during the famous ballroom sequence between Belle and the Beast , while a shorted chorale version plays in the closing scenes of the film , and the song 's motif features frequently in other pieces of Menken 's film score . `` Beauty and the Beast '' was subsequently recorded as a pop duet by Canadian singer Celine Dion and American singer Peabo Bryson , and released as the only single from the film 's soundtrack on November 25 , 1991 ."

3596,3596,"In biology , cell theory is the historic scientific theory , now universally accepted , that living organisms are made up of cells . Cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction . With continual improvements made to microscopes over time , magnification technology advanced enough to discover cells in the 17th century . This discovery is largely attributed to Robert Hooke , and began the scientific study of cells , also known as cell biology . Over a century later , many debates about cells began amongst scientists . Most of these debates involved the nature of cellular regeneration , and the idea of cells as a fundamental unit of life . Cell theory was eventually formulated in 1839 . This is usually credited to Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann . However , many other scientists like Rudolf Virchow contributed to the theory ."
3597,3597,"The Turing test , developed by Alan Turing in 1950 , is a test of a machine 's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to , or indistinguishable from , that of a human . Turing proposed that a human evaluator would judge natural language conversations between a human and a machine designed to generate human - like responses . The evaluator would be aware that one of the two partners in conversation is a machine , and all participants would be separated from one another . The conversation would be limited to a text - only channel such as a computer keyboard and screen so the result would not depend on the machine 's ability to render words as speech . If the evaluator can not reliably tell the machine from the human , the machine is said to have passed the test . The test does not check the ability to give correct answers to questions , only how closely answers resemble those a human would give ."

3602,3602,"Shingles is due to a reactivation of varicella zoster virus ( VZV ) within a person 's body . The disease chickenpox is caused by the initial infection with VZV . Once chickenpox has resolved , the virus may remain inactive in nerve cells . When it reactivates , it travels from the nerve body to the endings in the skin , producing blisters . Risk factors for reactivation include old age , poor immune function , and having had chickenpox before 18 months of age . How the virus remains in the body or subsequently re-activates is not well understood . Exposure to the virus in the blisters can cause chickenpox in someone who has not had it before , but will not trigger shingles . Diagnosis is typically based on a person 's signs and symptoms . Varicella zoster virus is not the same as herpes simplex virus ; however , they belong to the same family of viruses ."

3610,3610,"Dreams embody the involuntary occurrences within the mind throughout various stages of sleep . Throughout the early part of the twentieth century , psychologist Sigmund Freud made incredible advances in the study and analysis of dreams . Freud 's The Interpretation of Dreams ( 1900 ) used an evolutionary biological perspective to infer that these nightly visions are a product of one 's individual psyche . As the `` royal road to the unconscious '' , dreams allow for accessibility to parts of the mind that are inaccessible through conscious thought . According to his psychoanalytic theory , dreams -- like most psychological experiences -- can be understood through two distinct levels : manifest and latent . Modern research continuously proves that dreams contain fundamentally meaningful information . Therefore , appropriate interpretations of these two layers can facilitate assistance in understanding , `` whether , when , and how unconscious processes are truly relevant to daily life '' ( Friedman & Schustack , 2012 ) ."

3622,3622,"In each season , eight drivers and their nominators -- Canada 's Worst Driver 11 had nine drivers ; more on this later -- are enrolled at the Driver Rehabilitation Centre where they compete in challenges designed to improve their driving skills , in an effort to not be named Canada 's Worst Driver . In the first challenge , the contestants begin at a location about an hour 's drive from the Driver Rehabilitation Centre . Following the directions that are given , each contestant must drive to the Driver Rehabilitation Centre where , upon arriving , the driver 's license of each contestant is confiscated ( for the first two seasons , their car keys were confiscated instead ) . The first episode concludes with an obstacle course or assessment challenge , meant to evaluate the skills of each driver . The series is well known for its obstacle course challenges . Contestants must routinely maneuver their cars through tight spaces with less than an inch of clearance on either side . To show that the challenge can be done without hitting obstacles by an average driver , host Andrew Younghusband , himself an average driver , performs each challenge before any contestant attempts said challenge . At the end of each episode , starting with the second episode of each season , each contestant meets with Andrew and a panel of four experts for an evaluation of his or her performance . After all remaining contestants are interviewed , the experts and Andrew deliberate on which contestant and nominator pair have improved enough to graduate from the Driver Rehabilitation Centre . The driver who has graduated is eliminated from the competition and is sent home with his or her license returned to him or her . Typically , the contestants drive off with their nominators in the car that they used to arrive at the Driver Rehabilitation Centre . During the series , the experts also reserve the right to not graduate anyone during an episode or to graduate multiple contestants at the same time . The experts may also choose to expel any contestant prematurely who does not show any incentive to learn , who they believe should not continue driving or who can not continue the rehabilitation program often for medical or legal reasons . In this particular instance , certain contestants are eliminated from the competition and their licenses are returned and they are given a ride home by their nominators . However , a prematurely expelled contestant or contestant who refuses to continue may still be considered for the title , as was the case in Canada 's Worst Driver Ever , in which Dale Pitton was expelled in the second - to - last episode , only to be brought back for the trophy presentation . In extreme cases , the experts may contact the relevant Ministry of Transport and request that a driver 's license be put up for review , if they believe that a contestant is medically unfit to continue driving . To date , this has happened only twice , in Canada 's Worst Driver 4 with Donna Hicks and Canada 's Worst Driver Ever with Dale . The elimination process continues until only three contestants remain ( the original intent was for two contestants to remain , but due to the first season containing an episode in which no one graduated , there were three ; every subsequent season has had three finalists ) . Those three finalists are then given the final challenge , which is typically a three - in - a-car forward - backward slalom within a certain time limit , followed by the Mega Challenge , an obstacle course with elements of almost every previous challenge ( the standard transmission balancing challenge , among others , is not part of the Mega Challenge , but every challenge that is practical to include does get included ) , as well as a driving examination through the busy streets of a major urban centre in Canada near the Driver Rehabilitation Centre ( since season seven , the road test has been in Hamilton , Ontario ) . Based on these three challenges , the experts determine which among the three is Canada 's Worst Driver . With the exception of the eighth season , in which both Kevin Simmons and Flora Wang were named Canada 's Worst Driver , the contestant who fared the second - worst is deemed to not have graduated from the Driver Rehabilitation Centre , while the contestant who fared the third - worst is considered a graduate ( with the exception of the eleventh season , in which , despite faring the third - worst , Sholom Hoffman failed to graduate ) . Unlike other versions of the Worst Driver series around the world , where being eliminated early is rewarded with a new car while the Worst Driver has their car destroyed , Canada 's Worst Driver awards no prizes aside from a trophy for being named the worst , as the point of the show is to educate rather than entertain ."

3637,3637,"Archimedes developed this method further , while also inventing heuristic methods which resemble modern day concepts somewhat in his The Quadrature of the Parabola , The Method , and On the Sphere and Cylinder . It should not be thought that infinitesimals were put on a rigorous footing during this time , however . Only when it was supplemented by a proper geometric proof would Greek mathematicians accept a proposition as true . It was not until the 17th century that the method was formalized by Cavalieri as the method of Indivisibles and eventually incorporated by Newton into a general framework of integral calculus . Archimedes was the first to find the tangent to a curve other than a circle , in a method akin to differential calculus . While studying the spiral , he separated a point 's motion into two components , one radial motion component and one circular motion component , and then continued to add the two component motions together , thereby finding the tangent to the curve . The pioneers of the calculus such as Isaac Barrow and Johann Bernoulli were diligent students of Archimedes ; see for instance C.S. Roero ( 1983 ) ."

Furthermore , pigments used in the enameling process can produce vibrant colors . While enamel - coated cast iron does n't have the seasoning and cleaning issues of bare cast iron , it can be several times more costly , and does not have some of the benefits of bare cast iron , such as the ability to withstand searing heat and resist sticking . It limits the leaching of dietary iron , and chipping of the enamel coating can be a concern ."

3764,3764,"Large transmitting tubes have carbonized tungsten filaments containing a small trace ( 1 % to 2 % ) of thorium . An extremely thin ( molecular ) layer of thorium atoms forms on the outside of the wire 's carbonized layer and , when heated , serve as an efficient source of electrons . The thorium slowly evaporates from the wire surface , while new thorium atoms diffuse to the surface to replace them . Such thoriated tungsten cathodes usually deliver lifetimes in the tens of thousands of hours . The end - of - life scenario for a thoriated - tungsten filament is when the carbonized layer has mostly been converted back into another form of tungsten carbide and emission begins to drop off rapidly ; a complete loss of thorium has never been found to be a factor in the end - of - life in a tube with this type of emitter . WAAY - TV in Huntsville , Alabama achieved 163,000 hours of service from an Eimac external cavity klystron in the visual circuit of its transmitter ; this is the highest documented service life for this type of tube . It has been said that transmitters with vacuum tubes are better able to survive lightning strikes than transistor transmitters do . While it was commonly believed that at RF power levels above approx. 20 kilowatts , vacuum tubes were more efficient than solid state circuits , this is no longer the case , especially in medium wave ( AM broadcast ) service where solid state transmitters at nearly all power levels have measurably higher efficiency . FM broadcast transmitters with solid state power amplifiers up to approx. 15 kW also show better overall mains - power efficiency than tube - based power amplifiers ."

The team came to be known as the New York Highlanders . The name was inspired by a combination of the team 's elevated location in Upper Manhattan , and to the noted Scottish military unit The Gordon Highlanders , which coincided with the team 's president Joseph Gordon whose family was of Scots Irish heritage . Newspapers initially called the team `` Gordon 's Highlanders '' ( e.g. New York World , April 15 , 1903 ) , which soon became just `` Highlanders '' . As was common with all members of the American League , the team was often called the New York Americans . They were also dubbed the `` Invaders '' for a short time in 1903 . New York Press Sports Editor Jim Price coined the unofficial nickname Yankees ( or `` Yanks '' ) for the club as early as 1904 , because it was easier to fit in headlines and because `` Yankee '' was and is a commonly - used synonym for `` American '' .

3850,3850,"In England , sheriffs originally determined whether to grant bail to criminal suspects . Since they tended to abuse their power , Parliament passed a statute in 1275 whereby bailable and non-bailable offenses were defined . The King 's judges often subverted the provisions of the law . It was held that an individual may be held without bail upon the Sovereign 's command . Eventually , the Petition of Right of 1628 argued that the King did not have such authority . Later , technicalities in the law were exploited to keep the accused imprisoned without bail even where the offenses were bailable ; such loopholes were for the most part closed by the Habeas Corpus Act 1679 . Thereafter , judges were compelled to set bail , but they often required impracticable amounts . Finally , the English Bill of Rights ( 1689 ) held that `` excessive bail ought not to be required . '' Nevertheless , the Bill did not determine the distinction between bailable and non-bailable offenses . Thus , the Eighth Amendment has been interpreted to mean that bail may be denied if the charges are sufficiently serious . The Supreme Court has also permitted `` preventive '' detention without bail . In United States v. Salerno , 481 U.S. 739 ( 1987 ) , the Supreme Court held that the only limitation imposed by the bail clause is that `` the government 's proposed conditions of release or detention not be ' excessive ' in light of the perceived evil . '' In Stack v. Boyle , 342 U.S. 1 ( 1951 ) , the Supreme Court declared that a bail amount is `` excessive '' under the Eighth Amendment if it were `` a figure higher than is reasonably calculated '' to ensure the defendant 's appearance at trial ."

3859,3859,"Since 1189 , English law has been described as a common law rather than a civil law system ; in other words , no comprehensive codification of the law has taken place and judicial precedents are binding as opposed to persuasive . This may be a legacy of the Norman conquest of England , when a number of legal concepts and institutions from Norman law were introduced to England . In the early centuries of English common law , the justices and judges were responsible for adapting the system of writs to meet everyday needs , applying a mixture of precedent and common sense to build up a body of internally consistent law . An example is the Law Merchant derived from the `` Pie - Powder '' Courts , named from a corruption of the French pieds - poudrés ( `` dusty feet '' ) implying ad hoc marketplace courts . As the Parliament of England became ever more established and influential , legislation gradually overtook judicial law - making such that today , judges are only able to innovate in certain very narrowly defined areas ."

3882,3882,"An example of the development of a soil would begin with the weathering of lava flow bedrock , which would produce the purely mineral - based parent material from which the soil texture forms . Soil development would proceed most rapidly from bare rock of recent flows in a warm climate , under heavy and frequent rainfall . Under such conditions , plants ( in a first stage nitrogen - fixing lichens and cyanobacteria then epilithic higher plants ) become established very quickly on basaltic lava , even though there is very little organic material . The plants are supported by the porous rock as it is filled with nutrient - bearing water that carries minerals dissolved from the rocks . Crevasses and pockets , local topography of the rocks , would hold fine materials and harbour plant roots . The developing plant roots are associated with mineral - weathering mycorrhizal fungi that assist in breaking up the porous lava , and by these means organic matter and a finer mineral soil accumulate with time .

3916,3916,"Louis Pasteur 's 1859 experiment is widely seen as having settled the question of spontaneous generation . He boiled a meat broth in a flask that had a long neck that curved downward , like that of a goose or swan . The idea was that the bend in the neck prevented falling particles from reaching the broth , while still allowing the free flow of air . The flask remained free of growth for an extended period . When the flask was turned so that particles could fall down the bends , the broth quickly became clouded . However , minority objections were persistent and not always unreasonable , given that the experimental difficulties were far more challenging than the popular accounts suggest . The investigations of John Tyndall , a correspondent of Pasteur and a great admirer of Pasteur 's work , were decisive in disproving spontaneous generation with dealing with lingering issues . Still , even Tyndall encountered difficulties in dealing with the effects of microbial spores , which were not well understood in his day . Like Pasteur , he boiled his cultures to sterilize them , and some types of bacterial spores can survive boiling . The autoclave , which eventually came into universal application in medical practice and microbiology to sterilise equipment , was not an instrument that had come into use at the time of Tyndall 's experiments , let alone those of Pasteur ."

The Roman era saw both areas , except Scotland and Northern Ireland , conquered by Rome , whose fortifications exist in both countries to this day , and whose writing system introduced a common alphabet to both areas ; however , the language barrier remained .

In the medieval period , the countries were often bitter enemies , with both nations ' monarchs claiming control over France . The Hundred Years ' War stretched from 1337 to 1453 resulting in French victory . Britain and France fought a series of five major wars , culminating in the Coalition victory over Napoleon in 1815 . After that there were some tensions , but peace generally prevailed and as the 19th century progressed , the relationship became better . Closer ties between the two began with the 1904 Entente cordiale , particularly via the alliances in World War I and World War II , wherein both countries fought against Germany , and in the latter conflict British armies helped to liberate occupied France from the Nazis . Both nations opposed the Soviet Union during the Cold War and were founding members of NATO . In recent years the two countries have experienced a quite close relationship , especially on defence and foreign policy issues ; the two countries tend , however , to disagree on a range of other matters , most notably the European Union .

4123,4123,"Total internal reflection is the phenomenon which occurs when a propagated wave strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface . If the refractive index is lower on the other side of the boundary and the incident angle is greater than the critical angle , the wave can not pass through and is entirely reflected . The critical angle is the angle of incidence above which the total internal reflection occurs . This is particularly common as an optical phenomenon , where light waves are involved , but it occurs with many types of waves , such as electromagnetic waves in general or sound waves . When a wave reaches a boundary between different materials with different refractive indices , the wave will in general be partially refracted at the boundary surface , and partially reflected . However , if the angle of incidence is greater ( i.e. the direction of propagation is closer to being parallel to the boundary ) than the critical angle -- the angle of incidence at which light is refracted such that it travels along the boundary -- then the wave will not cross the boundary , but will instead be totally reflected back internally . This can only occur when the wave in a medium with a higher refractive index ( n ) reaches a boundary with a medium of lower refractive index ( n ) . For example , it will occur with light reaching air from glass , but not when reaching glass from air ."

4133,4133,"Babbling is a stage in child development and a state in language acquisition during which an infant appears to be experimenting with uttering articulate sounds , but does not yet produce any recognizable words . Babbling begins shortly after birth and progresses through several stages as the infant 's repertoire of sounds expands and vocalizations become more speech - like . Infants typically begin to produce recognizable words when they are around 12 months of age , though babbling may continue for some time afterward . Babbling can be seen as a precursor to language development or simply as vocal experimentation . The physical structures involved in babbling are still being developed in the first year of a child 's life . This continued physical development is responsible for some of the changes in abilities and variations of sound babies can produce . Abnormal developments such as certain medical conditions , developmental delays , and hearing impairments may interfere with a child 's ability to babble normally . Though there is still disagreement about the uniqueness of language to humans , babbling is not unique to the human species ."

4144,4144,"After the Bourbon Restoration , French Romanticism developed in the lively world of Parisian theatre , with productions of Shakespeare , Schiller ( in France a key Romantic author ) , and adaptations of Scott and Byron alongside French authors , several of whom began to write in the late 1820s . Cliques of pro - and anti-Romantics developed , and productions were often accompanied by raucous vocalizing by the two sides , including the shouted assertion by one theatregoer in 1822 that `` Shakespeare , c'est l'aide - de-camp de Wellington '' ( `` Shakespeare is Wellington 's aide - de-camp '' ) . Alexandre Dumas began as a dramatist , with a series of successes beginning with Henri III et sa cour ( 1829 ) before turning to novels that were mostly historical adventures somewhat in the manner of Scott , most famously The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo , both of 1844 . Victor Hugo published as a poet in the 1820s before achieving success on the stage with Hernani -- a historical drama in a quasi-Shakespearian style that had famously riotous performances on its first run in 1830 . Like Dumas , Hugo is best known for his novels , and was already writing The Hunchback of Notre - Dame ( 1831 ) , one of the best known works , which became a paradigm of the French Romantic movement . The preface to his unperformed play `` Cromwell '' gives an important manifesto of French Romanticism , stating that `` there are no rules , or models '' . The career of Prosper Mérimée followed a similar pattern ; he is now best known as the originator of the story of Carmen , with his novella published 1845 . Alfred de Vigny remains best known as a dramatist , with his play on the life of the English poet Chatterton ( 1835 ) perhaps his best work .

4295,4295,"The most recent understanding of the evolution of insects is based on studies of the following branches of science : molecular biology , insect morphology , paleontology , insect taxonomy , evolution , embryology , bioinformatics and scientific computing . It is estimated that the class of insects originated on Earth about 480 million years ago , in the Ordovician , at about the same time terrestrial plants appeared . Insects evolved from a group of crustaceans . The first insects were land bound , but about 400 million years ago in the Devonian period one lineage of insects evolved flight , the first animals to do so . The oldest definitive insect fossil , Rhyniognatha hirsti , is estimated to be 407 to 396 million years old . Global climate conditions changed several times during the history of Earth , and along with it the diversity of insects . The Pterygotes ( winged insects ) underwent a major radiation in the Carboniferous ( 356 to 299 million years ago ) while the Endopterygota ( insects that go through different life stages with metamorphosis ) underwent another major radiation in the Permian ( 299 to 252 million years ago ) ."

'' If a shot is attempted and hits or enters the rim , or if the defensive team gains possession via a rebound , steal , or out - of - bounds play , the shot clock resets . Failure by the offense to attempt a shot that hits the rim within the prescribed time results in a `` shot clock violation '' and a loss of possession to the other team . Three signals indicate when the shot clock expires -- a shot clock signal , illuminated lights on the shot clock ( NBA , FIBA , Euroleague , and many venues using an NBA - style transparent shot clock ) , and in the NBA and Euroleague only , a yellow LED light strip on the backboard . In the 2011 -- 12 NBA season and 2014 -- 15 Euroleague , the last five seconds of the shot clock were modified to include tenths of a second , allowing offensive players to see precisely how much time they have to shoot and officials to determine any last - second shots easily .

4354,4354,"The modern idea of the theory , however , is attributed mostly to John Locke 's expression of the idea in Essay Concerning Human Understanding ( he uses the term `` white paper '' in Book II , Chap . I , 2 ) . In Locke 's philosophy , tabula rasa was the theory that at birth the ( human ) mind is a `` blank slate '' without rules for processing data , and that data is added and rules for processing are formed solely by one 's sensory experiences . The notion is central to Lockean empiricism ; it serves as the starting point for Locke 's subsequent explication ( in Book II ) of simple ideas and complex ideas . As understood by Locke , tabula rasa meant that the mind of the individual was born blank , and it also emphasized the freedom of individuals to author their own soul . Individuals are free to define the content of their character -- but basic identity as a member of the human species can not be altered . This presumption of a free , self - authored mind combined with an immutable human nature leads to the Lockean doctrine of `` natural '' rights . Locke 's idea of tabula rasa is frequently compared with Thomas Hobbes 's viewpoint of human nature , in which humans are endowed with inherent mental content -- particularly with selfishness ."

While the lowest tiers of Maslow 's hierarchy , physiological and safety , are met by the survival elements of battle royales , the love / belonging and esteem tiers are a result of the battle royale being necessarily a social and competitive game , and the final tier of self - actualization comes from becoming skilled in the game to win frequently ."
4392,4392,"Located in the northeastern Caribbean , Puerto Rico formed a key part of the Spanish Empire from the early years of the exploration , conquest and colonization of the New World . The island was a major military post during many wars between Spain and other European powers for control of the region in the 16th , 17th and 18th centuries . The smallest of the Greater Antilles , Puerto Rico was a stepping - stone in the passage from Europe to Cuba , Mexico , Central America , and the northern territories of South America . Throughout most of the 19th century until the conclusion of the Spanish -- American War , Puerto Rico and Cuba were the last two Spanish colonies in the New World ; they served as Spain 's final outposts in a strategy to regain control of the American continents . Realizing that it was in danger of losing its two remaining Caribbean territories , the Spanish Crown revived the Royal Decree of Graces of 1815 . The decree was printed in Spanish , English and French in order to attract Europeans , with the hope that the independence movements would lose their popularity and strength with the arrival of new settlers . Free land was offered to those who wanted to populate the islands on the condition that they swear their loyalty to the Spanish Crown and allegiance to the Roman Catholic Church ."
4393,4393,"Methylene blue is widely used as a redox indicator in analytical chemistry . Solutions of this substance are blue when in an oxidizing environment , but will turn colorless if exposed to a reducing agent . The redox properties can be seen in a classical demonstration of chemical kinetics in general chemistry , the `` blue bottle '' experiment . Typically , a solution is made of glucose ( dextrose ) , methylene blue , and sodium hydroxide . Upon shaking the bottle , oxygen oxidizes methylene blue , and the solution turns blue . The dextrose will gradually reduce the methylene blue to its colorless , reduced form . Hence , when the dissolved dextrose is entirely consumed , the solution will turn blue again . The redox midpoint potential E ' is + 0.011 mV ."

Airbertach had a son named Cormac , who was a Bishop , and Cormac 's own son Gilchrist or , in Gaelic , Gille Chriosd , the progenitor of the Clann an Mhaoil , was a religious man like his father ; and it was because of this that he wore the tonsure which gave him the nickname Maolan or Gillemaol .

4419,4419,"The Book of Genesis and Book of Exodus describe a period of Hebrew servitude in ancient Egypt , during decades of sojourn in Egypt , the escape of well over a million Israelites from the Delta , and the three - month journey through the wilderness to Sinai .

A large - scale Puritan migration began in 1630 with the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony , and spawned the settlement of other New England colonies . Friction with the natives erupted in the high - casualty King Philip 's War in the 1670s . Puritanism was the established religion and was strictly enforced ; dissenters were exiled . The Colony clashed with Anglican opponents in England over its religious intolerance and the status of its charter . Most people were farmers .

4422,4422,"After lying dormant and dilapidated for decades , the Grand Canal was restored under the Yongle Emperor 's rule from 1411 -- 1415 . The impetus for restoring the canal was to solve the perennial problem of shipping grain north to Beijing . Shipping the annual 4,000,000 shi ( one shi is equal to 107 liters ) was made difficult with an inefficient system of shipping grain through the East China Sea or by several different inland canals that necessitated the transferring of grain onto several different barge types in the process , including shallow and deep - water barges . William Atwell quotes Ming dynasty sources that state the amount of collected tax grain was actually 30 million shi ( 93 million bushels ) , much larger than what Brook notes . The Yongle Emperor commissioned some 165,000 workers to dredge the canal bed in western Shandong and built a series of fifteen canal locks . The reopening of the Grand Canal had implications for Nanjing as well , as it was surpassed by the well - positioned city of Suzhou as the paramount commercial center of China . Despite greater efficiency , there were still factors which the government could not control that limited the transportation of taxed grain ; for example , in 1420 a widespread crop failure and poor harvest dramatically reduced the tax grain delivered to the central government ."

4572,4572,"`` Barely seven years after Edwin L. Drake drilled the world 's first oil well in 1859 at Titusville , Pennsylvania , USA , history registered another exploration of the black liquid gold , in the largest continent . More than a century ago , history was made in a remote corner of Assam in the midst of the dense and malaria infested jungles , by a band of intrepid pioneers searching for black gold . In 1867 Italian Engineers , commissioned by the Assam Railways and Trading Company , to build a railway line from Dibrugarh to Margherita ( Headquarters of Assam Railways and Trading Company ) accidentally discovered oil at Digboi around 10 miles from Margherita . ' Dig boy , dig ' , shouted the English engineer , Mr WL Lake , elephants emerging out of the dense forest with oil stains on their feet '' . This is possibly the most distilled -- though fanciful -- version of the legend explaining the siting and naming of Digboi . Two events separated by seven years have become fused , but although neither is likely to be provable , such evidence that does exist appears sufficiently detailed to be credible . Various web sites offer variations on the elephant 's foot story , a consensus of which would be that engineers extending the Dibru - Sadiya railway line to Ledo for the Assam Railways and Trading Company ( AR&TC ) in 1882 were using elephants for haulage and noticed that the mud on one pachyderm 's feet smelled of oil . Retracing the trail of footprints , they found oil seeping to the surface . One of the engineers , the Englishman Willie Leova Lake , was an ' oil enthusiast ' and persuaded the company to drill a well . Oil India Ltd makes no reference to elephants ' feet in its company history , although on its previous web site the company noted that Lake had noticed `` the oil seepages around Borbhil '' . Once the project had been approved , Lake assembled equipment , boilers , and local labour , and engaged elephants to haul the machinery to the site . The first well was started in September 1889 , but an encouraging first strike at 178 feet ( 54 m ) turned out to be a small pocket , and drilling recommenced . This continued until November 1890 when the well was completed at a total depth of 662 feet ( 202 m ) , and it was during this extended period of drilling that Oil India 's old web site placed the legend of Lake exhorting one or more of his labourers to `` Dig , boy !

Newborn , dead , sickly or already injured mammals are often targeted . However , more formidable prey such as adult raccoons and subadult beavers are sometimes attacked . In the Chesapeake Bay area , bald eagles are reportedly the main natural predators of raccoons . Where available , seal colonies can provide much food . On Protection Island , Washington , they commonly feed on harbor seal ( Phoca vitulina ) afterbirths , still - borns and sickly seal pups . On San Juan Island in Washington , introduced European rabbits ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ) , mainly those killed by auto accidents , comprise nearly 60 % of the dietary intake of eagles . In landlocked areas of North America , wintering bald eagles may become habitual predators of medium - sized mammals that occur in colonies or local concentrations , such as prairie dogs ( Cynomys ) and jackrabbits ( Lepus ) . Together with the golden eagle , bald eagles are occasionally accused of preying on livestock , especially sheep ( Ovis aries ) . There are a handful of proven cases of lamb predation , some of specimens weighing up to 11 kg ( 24 lb ) , by bald eagles but they are much less likely to attack a healthy lamb than a golden eagle and both species prefer native , wild prey and are unlikely to cause any extensive detriment to human livelihoods . There is one case of a bald eagle killing and feeding on an adult , pregnant ewe ( then joined in eating the kill by at least 3 other eagles ) , which , weighing on average over 60 kg ( 130 lb ) , is much larger than any other known prey taken by this species ."

4686,4686,"States typically redraw district boundaries after each census , though they may do so at other times , such as the 2003 Texas redistricting . Each state determines its own district boundaries , either through legislation or through non-partisan panels . `` Malapportionment '' is unconstitutional and districts must be approximately equal in population ( see Wesberry v. Sanders ) . Additionally , Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits redistricting plans that are intended to , or have the effect of , discriminating against racial or language minority voters . Aside from malapportionment and discrimination against racial or language minorities , federal courts have allowed state legislatures to engage in gerrymandering for the benefit of political parties or incumbents . In a 1984 case , Davis v. Bandemer , the Supreme Court held that gerrymandered districts could be struck down on the basis of the Equal Protection Clause , but the Court did not articulate a standard for when districts are impermissibly gerrymandered . However , the Court overruled Davis in 2004 in Vieth v. Jubelirer , and Court precedent currently holds gerrymandering to be a political question .

4691,4691,"At a score of 6 -- 6 , a set is often determined by one more game called a `` twelve point tiebreaker '' . Only one more game is played to determine the winner of the set ; the score of the set is always 7 -- 6 ( or 6 -- 7 ) . Points are counted using ordinary numbering . The set is decided by the player who wins at least seven points in the tiebreak but also has two points more than his or her opponent . For example , if the score is 6 points to 5 points and the player with 6 points wins the next point , he or she wins the tiebreak and the set . If the player with 5 points wins the point , the tiebreak continues and can not be won on the next point , since no player will be two points better . In the scoring of the set , sometimes the tiebreak points are included as well as the game count , for example 7 -- 6 . Another way of listing the score of the tiebreak is to list only the loser 's points . For example , if the set score is listed as 7 -- 6 , the tiebreak score was 10 -- 8 ( since 8 is the loser 's points , and the winner must win by two points ) . Similarly , 7 -- 6 means the tiebreak score was 7 -- 3 ."

The Chicago Bulls selected Jordan with the third overall pick , after Hakeem Olajuwon ( Houston Rockets ) and Sam Bowie ( Portland Trail Blazers ) . One of the primary reasons why Jordan was not drafted sooner was because the first two teams were in need of a center . However , Trail Blazers general manager Stu Inman contended that it was not a matter of drafting a center , but more a matter of taking Sam Bowie over Jordan , in part because Portland already had Clyde Drexler , who was a guard with similar skills to Jordan . ESPN , citing Bowie 's injury - laden college career , named the Blazers ' choice of Bowie as the worst draft pick in North American professional sports history . Jordan returned to North Carolina to complete his degree in 1986 ."

4880,4880,"Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic , meaning that it has elevated levels of hydrogen ions ( low pH ) . It can have harmful effects on plants , aquatic animals and infrastructure . Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide , which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids . Some governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere with positive results . Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes , and sulphur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions . Acid rain has been shown to have adverse impacts on forests , freshwaters and soils , killing insect and aquatic life - forms , causing paint to peel , corrosion of steel structures such as bridges , and weathering of stone buildings and statues as well as having impacts on human health ."

4882,4882,"When light hits photoreceptive pigments within the photoreceptor cell , the pigment changes shape . The pigment , called rhodopsin ( conopsin is found in cone cells ) comprises a large protein called opsin ( situated in the plasma membrane ) , attached to which is a covalently bound prosthetic group : an organic molecule called retinal ( a derivative of vitamin A ) . The retinal exists in the 11 - cis - retinal form when in the dark , and stimulation by light causes its structure to change to all - trans - retinal . This structural change causes an increased affinity for the regulatory protein called transducin ( a type of G protein ) . Upon binding to rhodopsin , the alpha subunit of the G protein replaces a molecule of GDP with a molecule of GTP and becomes activated . This replacement causes the alpha subunit of the G protein to dissociate from the beta and gamma subunits of the G protein . As a result , the alpha subunit is now free to bind to the cGMP phosphodiesterase ( an effector protein ) . The alpha subunit interacts with the inhibitory PDE gamma subunits and prevents them from blocking catalytic sites on the alpha and beta subunits of PDE , leading to the activation of cGMP phosphodiesterase , which hydrolyzes cGMP ( the second messenger ) , breaking it down into 5 ' - GMP . Reduction in cGMP allows the ion channels to close , preventing the influx of positive ions , hyperpolarizing the cell , and stopping the release of the neurotransmitter glutamate ( Kandel et al. , 2000 ) . Though cone cells primarily use the neurotransmitter substance acetylcholine , rod cells use a variety . The entire process by which light initiates a sensory response is called visual phototransduction ."

4995,4995,"Thermodynamic equilibrium is an axiomatic concept of thermodynamics . It is an internal state of a single thermodynamic system , or a relation between several thermodynamic systems connected by more or less permeable or impermeable walls . In thermodynamic equilibrium there are no net macroscopic flows of matter or of energy , either within a system or between systems . In a system in its own state of internal thermodynamic equilibrium , no macroscopic change occurs . Systems in mutual thermodynamic equilibrium are simultaneously in mutual thermal , mechanical , chemical , and radiative equilibria . Systems can be in one kind of mutual equilibrium , though not in others . In thermodynamic equilibrium , all kinds of equilibrium hold at once and indefinitely , until disturbed by a thermodynamic operation . In a macroscopic equilibrium , almost or perfectly exactly balanced microscopic exchanges occur ; this is the physical explanation of the notion of macroscopic equilibrium ."

5006,5006,"Males differ from females by having the second antennae markedly enlarged , and modified into clasping organs used in mating . Adult female brine shrimp ovulate approximately every 140 hours . In favourable conditions , the female brine shrimp can produce eggs that almost immediately hatch . While in extreme conditions , such as low oxygen level or salinity above 150 ‰ , female brine shrimp produce eggs with a chorion coating which has a brown colour . These eggs , also known as cysts , are metabolically inactive and can remain in total stasis for two years while in dry oxygen - free conditions , even at temperatures below freezing . This characteristic is called cryptobiosis , meaning `` hidden life '' .

5021,5021,"By scientific convention , the term lysosome is applied to those vesicular organelles only in animals , and vacuoles to plants , fungi and algae . Discoveries in plant cells since the 1970s started to challenge this definition . Plant vacuoles are found to be much more diverse in structure and function than previously thought . Some vacuoles contain their own hydrolytic enzymes and perform the classic lysosomal activity , which is autophagy . These vacuoles are therefore seen as fulfilling the role of the animal lysosome . Based on de Duve 's description that `` only when considered as part of a system involved directly or indirectly in intracellular digestion does the term lysosome describe a physiological unit '' , some botanists strongly argued that these vacuoles are lysosomes . However , this is not universally accepted as the vacuoles are strictly not similar to lysosomes , such as in their specific enzymes and lack of phagocytic functions .

Americans on the western frontier demanded that interference be stopped . There is dispute , however , over whether or not the American desire to annex Canada brought on the war . Several historians believe that the capture of Canada was intended only as a means to secure a bargaining chip , which would then be used to force Britain to back down on the maritime issues . It would also cut off food supplies for Britain 's West Indian colonies , and temporarily prevent the British from continuing to arm the Indians . However , many historians believe that a desire to annex Canada was a cause of the war . This view was more prevalent before 1940 , but remains widely held today . Congressman Richard Mentor Johnson told Congress that the constant Indian atrocities along the Wabash River in Indiana were enabled by supplies from Canada and were proof that `` the war has already commenced ...

In general , the group that will have a greater tax burden is the one that exhibits greater relative inelasticity ( Prasad 49 ) . When there is an increase in elasticity in one place , the demand for the quantity changes so that it can suit the different needs that have been set by the tax burden .

By contrast , a land breeze or offshore breeze is the reverse effect : dry land also cools more quickly than water and , after sunset , a sea breeze dissipates and the wind instead flows from the land towards the sea . Sea breezes and land breezes are both important factors in coastal regions ' prevailing winds . The term offshore wind may refer to any wind over open water ."

5386,5386,"When the star exhausts the hydrogen fuel in its core , nuclear reactions can no longer continue and so the core begins to contract due to its own gravity . This brings additional hydrogen into a zone where the temperature and pressure are adequate to cause fusion to resume in a shell around the core . The outer layers of the star then expand greatly , thus beginning the red - giant phase of the star 's life . As the star expands , the energy produced in the burning shell of the star is spread over a much larger surface area , resulting in a lower surface temperature and a shift in the star 's visible light output towards the red -- hence it becomes a red giant . At this time , the star is said to be ascending the red - giant branch of the Hertzsprung -- Russell ( H -- R ) diagram ."

A more positive use of the term in Britain came to be used with the writings of James Elishama Smith , who was a millenarian and a Christian Israelite . Although an early Owenite socialist , he eventually rejected its collective idea of property , and found in individualism a `` universalism '' that allowed for the development of the `` original genius . '' Without individualism , Smith argued , individuals can not amass property to increase one 's happiness .

As a response to this crisis , the Brazilian government began promoting bioethanol as a fuel .

5435,5435,"A fuel pump is a frequently ( but not always ) essential component on a car or other internal combustion engined device . Many engines ( older motorcycle engines in particular ) do not require any fuel pump at all , requiring only gravity to feed fuel from the fuel tank or under high pressure to the fuel injection system . Often , carbureted engines use low pressure mechanical pumps that are mounted outside the fuel tank , whereas fuel injected engines often use electric fuel pumps that are mounted inside the fuel tank ( and some fuel injected engines have two fuel pumps : one low pressure / high volume supply pump in the tank and one high pressure / low volume pump on or near the engine ) . Fuel pressure needs to be within certain specifications for the engine to run correctly . If the fuel pressure is too high , the engine will run rough and rich , not combusting all of the fuel being pumped making the engine inefficient and a pollutant . If the pressure is too low , the engine may run lean , misfire , or stall ."

The Jaffe reaction , despite its nonspecificity for creatinine , is still widely employed as the method of choice for creatinine testing due to its speed , adaptability in automated analysis , and cost - effectiveness , and is the oldest methodology continued to be used in the medical laboratory . It is this nonspecificity that has motivated the development of new reference methods for creatinine analysis into the 21st century ."

5518,5518,"Megaloblastic anemia ( or megaloblastic anaemia ) is an anemia ( of macrocytic classification ) that results from inhibition of DNA synthesis during red blood cell production . When DNA synthesis is impaired , the cell cycle can not progress from the G2 growth stage to the mitosis ( M ) stage . This leads to continuing cell growth without division , which presents as macrocytosis . Megaloblastic anemia has a rather slow onset , especially when compared to that of other anemias . The defect in red cell DNA synthesis is most often due to hypovitaminosis , specifically a deficiency of vitamin B and / or folic acid . Vitamin B deficiency alone will not cause the syndrome in the presence of sufficient folate , as the mechanism is loss of B dependent folate recycling , followed by folate - deficiency loss of nucleic acid synthesis ( specifically thymine ) , leading to defects in DNA synthesis . Folic acid supplementation in the absence of vitamin B prevents this type of anemia ( although other vitamin B - specific pathologies may be present ) . Loss of micronutrients may also be a cause . Copper deficiency resulting from an excess of zinc from unusually high oral consumption of zinc - containing denture - fixation creams has been found to be a cause ."

Describing an apparatus nearly identical to Baily 's , French electrical engineer Marcel Deprez published a paper in 1880 that identified the rotating magnetic field principle and that of a two - phase AC system of currents to produce it . Never practically demonstrated , the design was flawed , as one of the two currents was `` furnished by the machine itself .

5571,5571,"CMOS circuits are constructed in such a way that all P - type metal - oxide - semiconductor ( PMOS ) transistors must have either an input from the voltage source or from another PMOS transistor . Similarly , all NMOS transistors must have either an input from ground or from another NMOS transistor . The composition of a PMOS transistor creates low resistance between its source and drain contacts when a low gate voltage is applied and high resistance when a high gate voltage is applied . On the other hand , the composition of an NMOS transistor creates high resistance between source and drain when a low gate voltage is applied and low resistance when a high gate voltage is applied . CMOS accomplishes current reduction by complementing every nMOSFET with a pMOSFET and connecting both gates and both drains together . A high voltage on the gates will cause the nMOSFET to conduct and the pMOSFET not to conduct , while a low voltage on the gates causes the reverse . This arrangement greatly reduces power consumption and heat generation . However , during the switching time , both MOSFETs conduct briefly as the gate voltage goes from one state to another . This induces a brief spike in power consumption and becomes a serious issue at high frequencies ."

5616,5616,"Since the cyclist in a time trial is not permitted to draft ( ride in the slipstream ) behind other cyclists , reducing aerodynamic drag of the bicycle and rider is critical . One difference between a time trial bicycle and a road bicycle is the use of triathlon handlebars or aerobars . The main part of the bullhorns curves forward ( like a road handlebar ) , but where the road handle bar curves down , the time trial bar ends . This provides a low tucked position that is aerodynamic while providing good stability . The time trial bar also uses a `` clip on '' bar or aerobar which attaches to the main bar near the stem and provides a position where the hands and fore - arms are close together , low and forward , providing a very aerodynamic ( though less stable ) position . The aerobar became popular when Greg LeMond made up 50 seconds to defeat Laurent Fignon ( the race leader ) in the final stage ( and final time trial ) of the 1989 Tour de France . Time trial races tend to be much shorter than road races , so comfort is less of an issue .

5694,5694,"By 287 BC , the economic condition of the average Plebeian had become poor , and the result was the final Plebeian secession . The Plebeians seceded to the Janiculum hill , and to end the secession , a Dictator named Quintus Hortensius was appointed . Hortensius , a Plebeian , passed a law called the `` Hortensian Law '' ( Lex Hortensia ) , which ended the requirement that an auctoritas patrum be passed before any bill could be considered by either the Plebeian Council or the Tribal Assembly . The requirement was not changed for the Centuriate Assembly . The importance of the Hortensian Law was in that it removed from the senate its final check over the Plebeian Council ( the principal popular assembly ) . It should therefore not be viewed as the final triumph of democracy over aristocracy , since , through the Tribunes , the senate could still control the Plebeian Council . Thus , the ultimate significance of this law was in the fact that it robbed the Patricians of their final weapon over the Plebeians . The result was that the ultimate control over the state fell , not onto the shoulders of democracy , but onto the shoulders of the new Patricio - Plebeian aristocracy ."

5698,5698,"In the dark , a photoreceptor ( rod / cone ) cell will release glutamate , which inhibits ( hyperpolarizes ) the ON bipolar cells and excites ( depolarizes ) the OFF bipolar cells . In light , however , light strikes the photoreceptor which causes the photoreceptor to be inhibited ( hyperpolarized ) due to the activation of opsins which activate All trans - Retinal , giving energy to stimulate G - Protein coupled receptors to activate phosphodiesterase ( PDE ) which cleaves cGMP into 5 ' - GMP . In photoreceptor cells , there is an abundance of cGMP in dark conditions , keeping cGMP - gated Na channels open and so , activating PDE diminishes the supply of cGMP , reducing the number of open Na channels and thus hyperpolarizing the photoreceptor cell , causing less glutamate to be released . This causes the ON bipolar cell to lose its inhibition and become active ( depolarized ) , while the OFF bipolar cell loses its excitation ( becomes hyperpolarized ) and becomes silent ."

5922,5922,"In the United States and Canada , driver 's licenses are issued by the states and provinces ( or territories ) , respectively , and do not look the same nationwide . They are also used as a de facto or government - issued identification document for the holder . Most government issuers of driver 's licenses also provide a government - issued identification card with similar attributes to a driver 's license to those residents within their jurisdictions who do not have or maintain a valid driver 's license , making it easier for them to do things such as open a bank account , and perform any other activities that require official identification . Identification cards serve as government - issued photo ID but do not enable a person to operate a motor vehicle , a fact typically noted on the ID via the phrase ' Not a driver 's license ' or similar wording . This type of photo ID is referred to as a Photo card in some jurisdictions ( for example , Ontario Photo Card ) . Government - issued ID cards are also issued to out - of - state residents e.g. college students enrolled in an institution of higher education outside their state of residence e.g. a domiciled Texas resident enrolled at UCLA where the individual retains their Texas driver license and holds a California state issued ID card ( as mentioned above e.g. bank account and financial affairs ) ; also applicable to those who own business assets and not domiciled in a state or city as a resident e.g. one domiciled in Los Angeles and owns either a business or real estate property in Florida ) .

5926,5926,"In the biological sciences , nitrogenous bases are increasingly termed nucleobases because of their role in nucleic acids - their flat shape is particularly important when considering their roles as the building blocks of DNA and RNA . A set of five nitrogenous bases is used in the construction of nucleotides , which in turn build up the nucleic acids like DNA and RNA . These nitrogenous bases are adenine ( A ) , uracil ( U ) , guanine ( G ) , thymine ( T ) , and cytosine ( C ) . These nitrogenous bases hydrogen bond between opposing DNA strands to form the rungs of the `` twisted ladder '' or double helix of DNA or a biological catalyst that is found in the nucleotides . Adenine is always paired with thymine , and guanine is always paired with cytosine . These are known as base pairs . Uracil is only present in RNA , replacing thymine .

6078,6078,"The autonomic nervous system has three branches : the sympathetic nervous system , the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system . Some textbooks do not include the enteric nervous system as part of this system . The sympathetic nervous system is often considered the `` fight or flight '' system , while the parasympathetic nervous system is often considered the `` rest and digest '' or `` feed and breed '' system . In many cases , both of these systems have `` opposite '' actions where one system activates a physiological response and the other inhibits it . An older simplification of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems as `` excitatory '' and `` inhibitory '' was overturned due to the many exceptions found . A more modern characterization is that the sympathetic nervous system is a `` quick response mobilizing system '' and the parasympathetic is a `` more slowly activated dampening system '' , but even this has exceptions , such as in sexual arousal and orgasm , wherein both play a role ."

6150,6150,"The neurotransmitter molecule packages ( vesicles ) are created within the neuron , then travel down the axon to the distal axon terminal where they sit docked . Calcium ions then trigger a biochemical cascade which results in vesicles fusing with the presynaptic membrane and releasing their contents to the synaptic cleft within 180 μs of calcium entry . Triggered by the binding of the calcium ions , the synaptic vesicle proteins begin to move apart , resulting in the creation of a fusion pore . The presence of the pore allows for the release of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft . The process occurring at the axon terminal is exocytosis , which a cell uses to exude secretory vesicles out of the cell membrane . These membrane - bound vesicles contain soluble proteins to be secreted to the extracellular environment , as well as membrane proteins and lipids that are sent to become components of the cell membrane . Exocytosis in neuronal chemical synapses is Ca triggered and serves interneuronal signalling ."

6156,6156,"There are also spines derived from roots , like the ones on the trunk of the `` Root Spine Palms '' ( Cryosophila spp . ) . The trunk roots of Cryosophila guagara grow downwards to a length of 6 -- 12 cm , then stop growing and transform into a spine . The anatomy of crown roots on this species ( roots among the bases of the living fronds ) also alters during their life . They initially grow upwards and then turn down and finally they , too , become spinous . Lateral roots on these two types of roots , as well as those on the stilt roots on this species , also become spinous . Some authors believe that some of these short spiny laterals have a ventilating function so they are ' pneumorhizae ' . Short spiny laterals that may have a ventilating funcion may also be found on roots of Iriartea exorrhiza . There are also spines that function as pneumorhizae on the palm Euterpe oleracea . In Cryosophila nana ( formerly Acanthorhiza aculeata ) there are spine roots or root spines , some authors may prefer `` root spines '' if the length of the root is less than 10x the thickness , and `` spine roots '' if the length is more than 10x the thickness . Adventitious spiny roots have also been described on the trunks of dicotyledonous trees from tropical Africa ( e.g. Euphorbiaceae , as in Macaranga barteri , Bridelia micrantha and B. pubescens ; Ixonanthaceae , Sterculiaceae ) , and may also be found protecting perennating organs such as tubers and corms ( e.g. Dioscorea prehensilis - Dioscoreaceae - and Moraea spp . - Iridaceae - respectively ) . Short root spines cover the tuberous base of the epiphytic ant - plant Myrmecodia tuberosa ( Rubiaceae ) , these probably give protection to ants which inhabit chambers within the tuber as they wander over the plant 's surface .

6352,6352,"Zinc , cadmium and mercury form a large range of alloys . Among the zinc containing ones , brass is an alloy of zinc and copper . Other metals long known to form binary alloys with zinc are aluminium , antimony , bismuth , gold , iron , lead , mercury , silver , tin , magnesium , cobalt , nickel , tellurium and sodium . While neither zinc nor zirconium are ferromagnetic , their alloy ZrZn 2 exhibits ferromagnetism below 35 K. Cadmium is used in many kinds of solder and bearing alloys , due to a low coefficient of friction and fatigue resistance . It is also found in some of the lowest - melting alloys , such as Wood 's metal . Because it is a liquid , mercury dissolves other metals and the alloys that are formed are called amalgams . For example , such amalgams are known with gold , zinc , sodium , and many other metals . Because iron is an exception , iron flasks have been traditionally used to trade mercury . Other metals that do not form amalgams with mercury include tantalum , tungsten and platinum . Sodium amalgam is a common reducing agent in organic synthesis , and is also used in high - pressure sodium lamps . Mercury readily combines with aluminium to form a mercury - aluminium amalgam when the two pure metals come into contact . Since the amalgam reacts with air to give aluminium oxide , small amounts of mercury corrode aluminium . For this reason , mercury is not allowed aboard an aircraft under most circumstances because of the risk of it forming an amalgam with exposed aluminium parts in the aircraft ."

If group membership is arbitrarily assigned the value of 1 , then all others would get the value 0 . Then the intercept ( the value of the dependent variable if all other explanatory variables hypothetically took on the value zero ) would be the constant term for non-members but would be the constant term plus the coefficient of the membership dummy in the case of group members ."

6563,6563,"A small fraction of the genes in an organism 's genome control the organism 's development . These genes are called the developmental - genetic toolkit . They are highly conserved among phyla , meaning that they are ancient and very similar in widely separated groups of animals . Differences in deployment of toolkit genes affect the body plan and the number , identity , and pattern of body parts . Most toolkit genes are parts of signalling pathways : they encode transcription factors , cell adhesion proteins , cell surface receptor proteins and signalling ligands that bind to them , and secreted morphogens that diffuse through the embryo . All of these help to define the fate of undifferentiated cells in the embryo . Together , they generate the patterns in time and space which shape the embryo , and ultimately form the body plan of the organism . Among the most important toolkit genes are the Hox genes . These transcription factors contain the homeobox protein - binding DNA motif , also found in other toolkit genes , and create the basic pattern of the body along its front - to - back axis . Hox genes determine where repeating parts , such as the many vertebrae of snakes , will grow in a developing embryo or larva . Pax - 6 , already mentioned , is a classic toolkit gene .

6606,6606,"Prior to the 19th century hospital reforms , the well - being of the child was thought to be in the hands of the mother ; therefore , there was little discussion of children 's medicine , and as a result next to no widespread formal institutions which focused on healing children . There were however centres which focused on helping abandoned children and offering care in hopes that these children might survive into adulthood . Some examples include orphanages , dispensaries , and foundling hospitals . Florence 's Hospital of the Innocent ( Ospedale degli Innocenti ) was originally a charity based orphanage which opened in 1445 ; its aim was to nurse sick and abandoned infants back to health . A later example and better established institution whose goal it was to help rehabilitate infants was the Foundling Hospital founded by Thomas Coram in 1741 . Foundling hospitals were set up to receive abandoned infants , nurse them back to health , teach them a trade or skill , and integrate them back into society . Coram 's foundling hospital was revolutionary because it was one of the United Kingdoms first children charities . Moreover , it was largely made successful by the powerful people who donated money to the hospital . Coram 's hospital would eventually be faced with the fact that the number of infants needing care outweighed their hospitals capacity . In order to accommodate the number of children in need , there were attempts to set up similar hospitals throughout the UK ; they ultimately were unsuccessful due to the lack of funding . Simultaneously , dispensaries which were also funded by donations were being opened in order to provide medicine and medical attention to those who could not afford private care . Dispensaries and foundling hospitals were the earliest forms of what would later become children 's hospitals . The establishing of the Foundling Hospital by Thomas Coram was a direct response to the high infant mortality rate in London , England . Although foundling hospitals acknowledged the high infant mortality rate , infant mortality would not be addressed in a wide spread way until the early 19th century when children 's hospitals would begin to open in Vienna , Moscow , Prague , Berlin , and various other major cities throughout Europe ."

6696,6696,"The core -- mantle boundary ( CMB in the parlance of solid earth geophysicists ) of the Earth lies between the planet 's silicate mantle and its liquid iron - nickel outer core . This boundary is located at approximately 2891 km ( 1796 mi ) depth beneath the Earth 's surface . The boundary is observed via the discontinuity in seismic wave velocities at that depth . This discontinuity is due to the differences between the acoustic impedances of the solid mantle and the molten outer core . P - wave velocities are much slower in the outer core than in the deep mantle while S - waves do not exist at all in the liquid portion of the core . Recent evidence suggests a distinct boundary layer directly above the CMB possibly made of a novel phase of the basic perovskite mineralogy of the deep mantle named post-perovskite . Seismic tomography studies have shown significant irregularities within the boundary zone and appear to be dominated by the African and Pacific large low - shear - velocity provinces ( LLSVPs ) . The ~ 200 km thick layer of the lower mantle directly above the boundary is referred to as the D '' ( `` D double - prime '' or `` D prime prime '' ) and is sometimes included in discussions regarding the core -- mantle boundary zone . The D '' name originates from the mathematician Keith Bullen 's designations for the Earth 's layers . His system was to label each layer alphabetically , A through G , with the crust as ' A ' and the inner core as ' G ' . In his 1942 publication of his model , the entire lower mantle was the D layer . In 1950 , Bullen found his ' D ' layer to actually be two different layers . The upper part of the D layer , about 1800 km thick , was renamed D ′ ( D prime ) and the lower part ( the bottom 200 km ) was named D '' ."

6868,6868,"Ancient civilizations required fairly accurate computed values for π for practical reasons , including the Egyptians and Babylonians . Around 250 BC the Greek mathematician Archimedes created an algorithm for calculating it . It was approximated to seven digits , using geometrical techniques , in Chinese mathematics , and to about five digits in Indian mathematics in the 5th century AD . The historically first exact formula for π , based on infinite series , was not available until a millennium later , when in the 14th century the Madhava -- Leibniz series was discovered in Indian mathematics . In the 20th and 21st centuries , mathematicians and computer scientists discovered new approaches that , when combined with increasing computational power , extended the decimal representation of π to many trillions of digits after the decimal point . Practically all scientific applications require no more than a few hundred digits of π , and many substantially fewer , so the primary motivation for these computations is the quest to find more efficient algorithms for calculating lengthy numeric series , as well as the desire to break records . The extensive calculations involved have also been used to test supercomputers and high - precision multiplication algorithms ."

6891,6891,"The reason for this is that the velocity for P - waves and S - waves is governed by both the different properties in the material which they travel through and the different mathematical relationships they share in each case . The three properties are : incompressibility ( k ( \ displaystyle k ) ) , density ( p ( \ displaystyle p ) ) and rigidity ( u ( \ displaystyle u ) ) . P - wave velocity is equal to ( k + 4 3 u ) / p ( \ displaystyle ( \ sqrt ( ( k+ ( \ tfrac ( 4 ) ( 3 ) ) u ) / p ) ) ) whereas S - wave velocity is equal to ( u / p ) ( \ displaystyle ( \ sqrt ( ( u / p ) ) ) ) and so S - wave velocity is entirely dependent on the rigidity of the material it travels through . Liquids , however , have zero rigidity , hence always making the S - wave velocity overall zero and as such S - waves lose all velocity when travelling through a liquid . P - waves , however , are only partially dependent on rigidity and as such still maintain some velocity ( if greatly reduced ) when travelling through a liquid .

This allowed shuttle payloads to be lifted with the station 's engines during the routine firings , rather than have the shuttle lift itself and the payload together to a higher orbit .

7232,7232,"There are three naturally occurring isotopes of carbon on Earth : 99 % of the carbon is carbon - 12 , 1 % is carbon - 13 , and carbon - 14 occurs in trace amounts , i.e. , making up about 1 or 1.5 atoms per 10 atoms of the carbon in the atmosphere . Carbon - 12 and carbon - 13 are both stable , while the half - life of carbon - 14 is 5,730 ± 40 years . Carbon - 14 decays into nitrogen - 14 through beta decay . A gram of carbon containing 1 atom of carbon - 14 per 10 atoms will emit 0.2 beta particles per second . The primary natural source of carbon - 14 on Earth is cosmic ray action on nitrogen in the atmosphere , and it is therefore a cosmogenic nuclide . However , open - air nuclear testing between 1955 -- 1980 contributed to this pool ."

Many were conservative elders , and thus indirect rule fostered a conservative outlook among the indigenous population and marginalised the young intelligentsia .

7432,7432,"Rhinorrhea is especially common during winter months and certain low temperature seasons . Cold - induced rhinorrhea occurs due to a combination of thermodynamics and the body 's natural reactions to cold weather stimuli . One of the purposes of nasal mucus is to warm inhaled air to body temperature as it enters the body . In order for this to happen , the nasal cavities must be constantly coated with liquid mucus . During cold , dry seasons , the mucus lining nasal passages tends to dry out , meaning that mucous membranes must work harder , producing more mucus to keep the cavity lined . As a result , the nasal cavity can fill up with mucus . At the same time , when air is exhaled , water vapor in breath condenses as the warm air meets the colder outside temperature near the nostrils . This causes an excess amount of water to build up inside nasal cavities . In these cases , the excess fluid usually spills out externally through the nostrils ."

7553,7553,"By Lenz 's law , an eddy current creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in the magnetic field that created it , and thus eddy currents react back on the source of the magnetic field . For example , a nearby conductive surface will exert a drag force on a moving magnet that opposes its motion , due to eddy currents induced in the surface by the moving magnetic field . This effect is employed in eddy current brakes which are used to stop rotating power tools quickly when they are turned off . The current flowing through the resistance of the conductor also dissipates energy as heat in the material . Thus eddy currents are a cause of energy loss in alternating current ( AC ) inductors , transformers , electric motors and generators , and other AC machinery , requiring special construction such as laminated magnetic cores or ferrite cores to minimize them . Eddy currents are also used to heat objects in induction heating furnaces and equipment , and to detect cracks and flaws in metal parts using eddy - current testing instruments ."

7583,7583,"The potential of NADH and FADH is converted to more ATP through an electron transport chain with oxygen as the `` terminal electron acceptor '' . Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation . This works by the energy released in the consumption of pyruvate being used to create a chemiosmotic potential by pumping protons across a membrane . This potential is then used to drive ATP synthase and produce ATP from ADP and a phosphate group . Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration ( 2 from glycolysis , 2 from the Krebs cycle , and about 34 from the electron transport system ) . However , this maximum yield is never quite reached because of losses due to leaky membranes as well as the cost of moving pyruvate and ADP into the mitochondrial matrix , and current estimates range around 29 to 30 ATP per glucose ."

Another prominent animator in this period was Jun'ichi Kōuchi . He was a caricaturist and painter , who also had studied watercolor painting . In 1912 , he also entered the cartoonist sector and was hired for an animation by Kobayashi Shokai later in 1916 . He is viewed as the most technically advanced Japanese animator of the 1910s .

He eventually founded his own animation studio , the Kitayama Eiga Seisakujo , which was later closed due to lack of commercial success . He utilized the chalkboard technique , and later paper animation , with and without pre-printed backgrounds .

The dorsal vertebrae range from the bottom of the neck to the top of the pelvis . Dorsal vertebrae attached to the ribs are called thoracic vertebrae , while those without ribs are called lumbar vertebrae . The sacral vertebrae are those in the pelvic region , and range from one in amphibians , to two in most birds and modern reptiles , or up to three to five in mammals . When multiple sacral vertebrae are fused into a single structure , it is called the sacrum . The synsacrum is a similar fused structure found in birds that is composed of the sacral , lumbar , and some of the thoracic and caudal vertebra , as well as the pelvic girdle .

Saliva , a liquid secreted by the salivary glands , contains salivary amylase , an enzyme which starts the digestion of starch in the food ; the saliva also contains mucus , which lubricates the food , and hydrogen carbonate , which provides the ideal conditions of pH ( alkaline ) for amylase to work . After undergoing mastication and starch digestion , the food will be in the form of a small , round slurry mass called a bolus . It will then travel down the esophagus and into the stomach by the action of peristalsis . Gastric juice in the stomach starts protein digestion . Gastric juice mainly contains hydrochloric acid and pepsin . As these two chemicals may damage the stomach wall , mucus is secreted by the stomach , providing a slimy layer that acts as a shield against the damaging effects of the chemicals . At the same time protein digestion is occurring , mechanical mixing occurs by peristalsis , which is waves of muscular contractions that move along the stomach wall . This allows the mass of food to further mix with the digestive enzymes ."

New products such as potatoes , tomatoes and corn had a long - lasting impact on the Spanish economy , but more importantly on European demographics . Gold and silver bullion from American mines were used by the Spanish Crown to pay for troops in the Netherlands and Italy , to maintain the emperor 's forces in Germany and ships at sea , and to satisfy increasing consumer demand at home . However , the large volumes of precious metals from America led to inflation , which had a negative effect on the poorer part of the population , as goods became overpriced .

Astronomer Sir David Brewster also rejected Laplace , writing in 1876 that `` those who believe in the Nebular Theory consider it as certain that our Earth derived its solid matter and its atmosphere from a ring thrown from the Solar atmosphere , which afterwards contracted into a solid terraqueous sphere , from which the Moon was thrown off by the same process '' . He argued that under such view , `` the Moon must necessarily have carried off water and air from the watery and aerial parts of the Earth and must have an atmosphere '' . Brewster claimed that Sir Isaac Newton 's religious beliefs had previously considered nebular ideas as tending to atheism , and quoted him as saying that `` the growth of new systems out of old ones , without the mediation of a Divine power , seemed to him apparently absurd '' ."

7682,7682,"The little brown bat lives in three different roosting sites : day roosts , night roosts , and hibernation roosts . Bats use day and night roosts during spring , summer , and fall while hibernacula are used in winter . Day roosts are usually in buildings or trees , under rocks or wood piles , and sometimes in caves . Nursery roosts are in natural hollows and buildings ( or at least close to them ) . They have been found under the sheet metal roofs of trappers ' caches and attics of buildings . Night roosts tend to be in the same buildings as day roosts , but these roosts tend to be in different spots that are more constrained ; the bats pack together for warmth . Bats rest in night roosts after feeding in the evening which may serve to keep their feces away from the day roosts and thus less noticeable to predators . Brown bats typically hibernate in caves and perhaps unused mines . Northern populations of bats enter hibernation in early September and end in mid-May while southern populations enter in November and ends mid-March . Little brown bats are true hibernators . As observed in the Mid-Atlantic States during periods of warming during the winter , typically over 50 degrees ( F ) , little brown bats emerge from their winter torpor and hunt insects that have emerged as well in response to the warmer conditions ."

7709,7709,"Sociometer theory is a theory of self - esteem from an evolutionary psychological perspective that proposes that state self - esteem is a gauge ( or sociometer ) of interpersonal relationships . This theoretical perspective was first introduced by Mark Leary and colleagues in 1995 and later expanded on by Kirkpatrick and Ellis . In Leary 's research , the idea of self - esteem as a sociometer is discussed in depth . This theory was created as a response to psychological phenomenon i.e. social emotions , inter - and intra - personal behaviors , self - serving biases , and reactions to rejection . Based on this theory , self - esteem is a measure of effectiveness in social relations and interactions that monitors acceptance and / or rejection from others . With this , an emphasis is placed on relational value , which is the degree to which a person regards his or her relationship with another , and how it affects day - to - day life . Confirmed by various studies and research , if a person is deemed having relational value , they are more likely to have higher self - esteem . According to Leary , there are five main groups associated with relational value that are classified as those affording the greatest impact on an individual . They are : 1 ) macro-level , i.e. , communities , 2 ) instrumental coalitions , i.e. , teams , committees , 3 ) mating relationships , 4 ) kin relationships , and 5 ) friendships . A study was conducted to see just how much people depend on peers and outside factors and relational values to regulate their life . The objective of the study was to pick groups for an activity based on the evaluations given by the students . In the study , two groups were assigned . Both groups consisted of college students that submitted and were subjected to a peer evaluation . The difference being that the control group of students chose if they 1 ) wanted to interact with the person or 2 ) dissociated from the person . Previously asked , some students stated that they were indifferent or did not care what others ' opinions of them were . However , when results were analyzed there was a great deal of fluctuation in overall self - esteem . Those who were placed in the second group ( of dissociation ) , receiving a low relational value , displayed a lowered self - esteem . As a result , this compromised the way they assessed a / the situation . In the first group , where perceived relational value was high , self - esteem was also high . This provides some evidence for an evolutionary basis in the fundamental human need for inclusion in a group , and the burden of being on the outskirts of social acceptance ."

Steelmaking was centered in Sheffield , Britain , which supplied the European and the American markets . The introduction of cheap steel was due to the Bessemer and the open hearth processes , two technological advances made in England . In the Bessemer process , molten pig iron is converted to steel by blowing air through it after it was removed from the furnace . The air blast burned the carbon and silicon out of the pig iron , releasing heat and causing the temperature of the molten metal to rise . Henry Bessemer demonstrated the process in 1856 and had a successful operation going by 1864 . By 1870 Bessemer steel was widely used for ship plate . By the 1850s , the speed , weight , and quantity of railway traffic was limited by the strength of the wrought iron rails in use .

7937,7937,"Zygosity refers to the grade of similarity between the alleles that determine one specific trait in an organism . In its simplest form , a pair of alleles can be either homozygous or heterozygous . Homozygosity , with homo relating to same while zygous pertains to a zygote , is seen when a combination of either two dominant or two recessive alleles code for the same trait . For example , using ' A ' as the representative character for each allele , a homozygous dominant pair 's genotype would be depicted as ' AA ' , while homozygous recessive is shown as ' aa ' . Heterozygosity , with hetero associated with different , can only be ' Aa ' because ' aA ' is not biologically correct . The phenotype of a homozygous dominant pair is ' A ' , or dominant , while the opposite is true for homozygous recessive . Heterozygous pairs always have a dominant phenotype . To a lesser degree , hemizygosity and nullizygosity can also be seen in gene pairs ."

Enacted by white Democratic - dominated state legislatures in the late 19th century after the Reconstruction period , these laws continued to be enforced until 1965 . They mandated racial segregation in all public facilities in the states of the former Confederate States of America , starting in the 1870s and 1880s , and upheld by the United States Supreme Court 's `` separate but equal '' doctrine for African Americans .

Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation . This works by the energy released in the consumption of pyruvate being used to create a chemiosmotic potential by pumping protons across a membrane . This potential is then used to drive ATP synthase and produce ATP from ADP and a phosphate group . Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration ( 2 from glycolysis , 2 from the Krebs cycle , and about 34 from the electron transport system ) . However , this maximum yield is never quite reached because of losses due to leaky membranes as well as the cost of moving pyruvate and ADP into the mitochondrial matrix , and current estimates range around 29 to 30 ATP per glucose ."

8058,8058,"At home , the Republic similarly experienced a long streak of social and political crises , which ended in several bloody civil wars . At first , the Conflict of the Orders opposed the patricians , the closed oligarchic elite , to the far more numerous plebs , who finally achieved political equality in several steps during the 4th century BC . Later , the vast conquests of the Republic disrupted its society , as the immense influx of slaves they brought enriched the aristocracy , but ruined the peasantry and urban workers . In order to solve this issue , several social reformers , known as the Populares , tried to pass agrarian laws , but the Gracchi brothers , Saturninus , or Clodius Pulcher , were all murdered by their opponents : the Optimates , keepers of the traditional aristocratic order . Mass slavery also caused three Servile Wars ; the last of them was lead by Spartacus , a skilful gladiator who ravaged Italy and left Rome powerless until his defeat in 71 BC . In this context , the last decades of the Republic were marked by the rise of great generals , who exploited their military conquests and the factional situation in Rome to gain control of the political system . Marius ( between 105 - 86 ) , then Sulla ( between 82 - 78 ) dominated in turn the Republic ; both used extraordinary powers to purge their opponents . These multiple tensions lead to a series of civil wars ; the first between the two generals Julius Caesar and Pompey . Despite his victory and appointment as dictator for life , Caesar was murdered in 44 . Caesar 's heir Octavian and lieutenant Mark Antony defeated Caesar 's assassins Brutus and Cassius in 42 , but then turned against each other . The final defeat of Mark Antony and his ally Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC , and the Senate 's grant of extraordinary powers to Octavian as Augustus in 27 BC , which effectively made him the first Roman emperor , thus ended the Republic ."

Briefly , embryonic developments have four stages : the morula stage , the bastula stage , the gastrula stage , and the neurula stage . Prior to implantation , the embryo remains in a protein shell , the zona pellucida , and undergoes a series of cell divisions , called mitosis . A week after fertilization the embryo still has not grown in size , but hatches from the zona pellucida and adheres to the lining of the mother 's uterus . This induces a decidual reaction , wherein the uterine cells proliferate and surround the embryo thus causing it to become embedded within the uterine tissue . The embryo , meanwhile , proliferates and develops both into embryonic and extra-embryonic tissue , the latter forming the fetal membranes and the placenta . In humans , the embryo is referred to as a fetus in the later stages of prenatal development . The transition from embryo to fetus is arbitrarily defined as occurring 8 weeks after fertilization . In comparison to the embryo , the fetus has more recognizable external features and a set of progressively developing internal organs . A nearly identical process occurs in other species ."

8144,8144,"Those who hold for the importance of apostolic succession via episcopal laying on of hands appeal to the New Testament , which , they say , implies a personal apostolic succession ( from Paul to Timothy and Titus , for example ) . They appeal as well to other documents of the early Church , especially the Epistle of Clement . In this context , Clement explicitly states that the apostles appointed bishops as successors and directed that these bishops should in turn appoint their own successors ; given this , such leaders of the Church were not to be removed without cause and not in this way . Further , proponents of the necessity of the personal apostolic succession of bishops within the Church point to the universal practice of the undivided early Church ( up to AD 431 ) , before being divided into the Church of the East , Oriental Orthodoxy , the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church . Christians of the Roman Catholic , Orthodox , Old Catholic , Anglican , Moravian , and Scandinavian Lutheran traditions maintain that `` a bishop can not have regular or valid orders unless he has been consecrated in this apostolic succession .

8157,8157,"Sexual selection is a mode of natural selection where members of one biological sex choose mates of the other sex to mate with ( intersexual selection ) , and compete with members of the same sex for access to members of the opposite sex ( intrasexual selection ) . These two forms of selection mean that some individuals have better reproductive success than others within a population , either from being more attractive or preferring more attractive partners to produce offspring . For instance in the breeding season sexual selection in frogs occurs with the males first gathering at the water 's edge and making their mating calls : croaking . The females then arrive and choose the males with the deepest croaks and best territories . Generalizing , males benefit from frequent mating and monopolizing access to a group of fertile females . Females have a limited number of offspring they can have and they maximize the return on the energy they invest in reproduction ."

8160,8160,"There had been coin shortages beginning in 1959 , and the United States Bureau of the Mint expanded production to try to meet demand . The early 1960s was a time of increased use of silver both in the coinage and in industry , putting pressure on the price of silver , which was capped at just over $1.29 per ounce by government sales at that price . The silver in a dollar 's worth of quarters would be worth more as bullion than as money if the price of the metal rose past $1.38 per ounce , and there was widespread hoarding of silver coins . Demand for the Kennedy half dollar as a collectable drove it from circulation after its debut in 1964 . The Bureau of the Mint increased production , helping reduce the coin shortages by May 1965 , but government stocks of silver were being rapidly reduced , and threatened to run out by 1968 . After extensive study by the Treasury Department , President Lyndon B. Johnson in June 1965 recommended that Congress pass legislation to allow for silverless dimes and quarters , and debased silver half dollars .

8194,8194,"Aside from being an informal fallacy depending on usage , such questions may be used as a rhetorical tool : the question attempts to limit direct replies to be those that serve the questioner 's agenda . The traditional example is the question `` Have you stopped beating your wife ? '' Whether the respondent answers yes or no , he will admit to having a wife and having beaten her at some time in the past . Thus , these facts are presupposed by the question , and in this case an entrapment , because it narrows the respondent to a single answer , and the fallacy of many questions has been committed . The fallacy relies upon context for its effect : the fact that a question presupposes something does not in itself make the question fallacious . Only when some of these presuppositions are not necessarily agreed to by the person who is asked the question does the argument containing them become fallacious . Hence the same question may be loaded in one context , but not in the other . For example , the previous question would not be loaded if it were asked during a trial in which the defendant had already admitted to beating his wife ."

Jupiter 's magnetic field forces the torus to rotate with the same angular velocity and direction as the planet .

8248,8248,"The Stefan -- Boltzmann constant ( also Stefan 's constant ) , a physical constant denoted by the Greek letter σ ( sigma ) , is the constant of proportionality in the Stefan -- Boltzmann law : `` the total intensity radiated over all wavelengths increases as the temperature increases '' , of a black body which is proportional to the fourth power of the thermodynamic temperature . The theory of thermal radiation lays down the theory of quantum mechanics , by using physics to relate to molecular , atomic and sub-atomic levels . Slovenian physicist Josef Stefan formulated the constant in 1879 , and it was later derived in 1884 by Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann . The equation can also be derived from Planck 's law , by integrating over all wavelengths at a given temperature , which will represent a small flat black body box . `` The amount of thermal radiation emitted increases rapidly and the principal frequency of the radiation becomes higher with increasing temperatures '' . The Stefan -- Boltzmann constant can be used to measure the amount of heat that is emitted by a blackbody , which absorbs all of the radiant energy that hits it , and will emit all the radiant energy . Furthermore , the Stefan -- Boltzmann constant allows for temperature ( K ) to be converted to units for intensity ( W m ) , which is power per unit area ."

8299,8299,"In the pacemaking cells of the heart ( e.g. , the sinoatrial node ) , the pacemaker potential ( also called the pacemaker current ) is the slow , positive increase in voltage across the cell 's membrane ( the membrane potential ) that occurs between the end of one action potential and the beginning of the next action potential . This increase in membrane potential is what causes the cell membrane , which typically maintains a resting membrane potential of - 70 mV , to reach the threshold potential and consequently fire the next action potential ; thus , the pacemaker potential is what drives the self - generated rhythmic firing ( automaticity ) of pacemaker cells , and the rate of change ( i.e. , the slope ) of the pacemaker potential is what determines the timing of the next action potential and thus the intrinsic firing rate of the cell . In a healthy sinoatrial node ( SAN , a complex tissue within the right atrium containing pacemaker cells that normally determine the intrinsic firing rate for the entire heart ) , the pacemaker potential is the main determinant of the heart rate . Because the pacemaker potential represents the non-contracting time between heart beats ( diastole ) , it is also called the diastolic depolarization . The amount of net inward current required to move the cell membrane potential during the pacemaker phase is extremely small , in the order of few pAs , but this net flux arises from time to time changing contribution of several currents that flow with different voltage and time dependence . Evidence in support of the active presence of K , Ca , Na channels and Na / K exchanger during the pacemaker phase have been variously reported in the literature , but several indications point to the `` funny '' ( I ) current as one of the most important. ( see funny current ) . There is now substantial evidence that also sarcoplasmic reticulum ( SR ) Ca - transients participate to the generation of the diastolic depolarization via a process involving the Na -- Ca exchanger ."

The cadenza normally occurs near the end of the first movement , though it can be at any point in a concerto . An example is Tchaikovsky 's First Piano Concerto , where in the first five minutes a cadenza is used . The cadenza is usually the most elaborate and virtuosic part that the solo instrument plays during the whole piece .

8317,8317,"During December to March , the lake turns to a vibrant cobalt blue colour , returning to a colder steel grey colour for April to November . The exact cause of this phenomenon is still a matter of conjecture , but it is generally considered likely that it revolves around the warming of the surface layers of the lake during the summer months to around 20 ° C ( 68 ° F ) , causing calcium carbonate to precipitate out of the solution and enabling micro-crystallites of calcium carbonate to form . This results in scatter of the blue wavelengths of sunlight . During winter the lake becomes well mixed , and recent research indicates that during this phase of the colour cycle the lake is somewhat murkier due to the redistribution of tannins and calcium carbonate particles throughout the lake . Solar elevation has also been found to influence the perceived colour of the lake . The movement of planktonic life - forms within the lake during the seasons and during the day may additionally play a part in the colour change ."

This ... has generated extensive discussion regarding the date of the earliest domestic camel in the southern Levant ( and beyond ) ( e.g. , Albright 1949 : 207 ; Epstein 1971 : 558 -- 584 ; Bulliet 1975 ; Zarins 1989 ; Köhler - Rollefson 1993 ; Uerpmann and Uerpmann 2002 ; Jasmin 2005 ; 2006 ; Heide 2010 ; Rosen and Saidel 2010 ; Grigson 2012 ) . Most scholars today agree that the dromedary was exploited as a pack animal sometime in the early Iron Age ( not before the 12th century ( BC ) ) '' and concludes that `` Current data from copper smelting sites of the Aravah Valley enable us to pinpoint the introduction of domestic camels to the southern Levant more precisely based on stratigraphic contexts associated with an extensive suite of radiocarbon dates . The data indicate that this event occurred not earlier than the last third of the 10th century ( BC ) and most probably during this time . The coincidence of this event with a major reorganization of the copper industry of the region -- attributed to the results of the campaign of Pharaoh Shoshenq I -- raises the possibility that the two were connected , and that camels were introduced as part of the efforts to improve efficiency by facilitating trade .

The majority of audible notification appliances installed prior to 1996 produced a steady sound for evacuation .

Today these methods are confined to applications intended to trigger a response other than evacuation alone . In 1996 , the ANSI and the NFPA recommended a standard evacuation pattern to eliminate confusion . The pattern is uniform without regard to the sound used .

8540,8540,"During the persecution of Christians under the Roman Empire , Christian art was necessarily and deliberately furtive and ambiguous , using imagery that was shared with pagan culture but had a special meaning for Christians . The earliest surviving Christian art comes from the late 2nd to early 4th centuries on the walls of Christian tombs in the catacombs of Rome . From literary evidence , there may well have been panel icons which , like almost all classical painting , have disappeared . Initially Jesus was represented indirectly by pictogram symbols such as the Ichthys ( fish ) , peacock , Lamb of God , or an anchor ( the Labarum or Chi - Rho was a later development ) . Later personified symbols were used , including Jonah , whose three days in the belly of the whale pre-figured the interval between the death and resurrection of Jesus , Daniel in the lion 's den , or Orpheus ' charming the animals . The image of `` The Good Shepherd '' , a beardless youth in pastoral scenes collecting sheep , was the most common of these images , and was probably not understood as a portrait of the historical Jesus . These images bear some resemblance to depictions of kouros figures in Greco - Roman art . The `` almost total absence from Christian monuments of the period of persecutions of the plain , unadorned cross '' except in the disguised form of the anchor , is notable . The Cross , symbolizing Jesus ' crucifixion on a cross , was not represented explicitly for several centuries , possibly because crucifixion was a punishment meted out to common criminals , but also because literary sources noted that it was a symbol recognised as specifically Christian , as the sign of the cross was made by Christians from very early on ."

8605,8605,"DNA is precipitated by first ensuring that the correct concentration of positive ions is present in solution ( too much will result in a lot of salt co-precipitating with DNA , too little will result in incomplete DNA recovery ) and then adding two to three volumes of at least 95 % ethanol . Many protocols advise storing DNA at low temperature at this point , but there are also observation that it does not improve DNA recovery , and may even lower precipitation efficiency while using over-night incubation time . In most cases , good efficiency is achieved at room temperature but when possible degradation is taken into account it is probably best to incubate DNA on wet ice . Optimal incubation time depends on the length and concentration of DNA . Smaller fragments and lower concentrations will require longer times to achieve acceptable recovery . For very small lengths and low concentrations over-night incubation is recommended . In such cases use of carriers like tRNA , glycogen or linear polyacrylamide can greatly improve recovery ."

Saliva , a liquid secreted by the salivary glands , contains salivary amylase , an enzyme which starts the digestion of starch in the food ; the saliva also contains mucus , which lubricates the food , and hydrogen carbonate , which provides the ideal conditions of pH ( alkaline ) for amylase to work . After undergoing mastication and starch digestion , the food will be in the form of a small , round slurry mass called a bolus . It will then travel down the esophagus and into the stomach by the action of peristalsis . Gastric juice in the stomach starts protein digestion . Gastric juice mainly contains hydrochloric acid and pepsin . As these two chemicals may damage the stomach wall , mucus is secreted by the stomach , providing a slimy layer that acts as a shield against the damaging effects of the chemicals . At the same time protein digestion is occurring , mechanical mixing occurs by peristalsis , which is waves of muscular contractions that move along the stomach wall . This allows the mass of food to further mix with the digestive enzymes ."

8801,8801,"The glow stick contains two chemicals and a suitable dye ( sensitizer , or fluorophor ) . This creates an exothermic reaction . The chemicals inside the plastic tube are a mixture of the dye and diphenyl oxalate . The chemical in the glass vial is hydrogen peroxide . By mixing the peroxide with the phenyl oxalate ester , a chemical reaction takes place , yielding two moles of phenol and one mole of peroxyacid ester ( 1 , 2 - dioxetanedione ) . The peroxyacid decomposes spontaneously to carbon dioxide , releasing energy that excites the dye , which then relaxes by releasing a photon . The wavelength of the photon -- the color of the emitted light -- depends on the structure of the dye . The reaction releases energy mostly as light , with very little heat . The reason for this is that the reverse 2 + 2 photocycloaddition of 1 , 2 - dioxetanedione is a forbidden transition ( it violates Woodward -- Hoffmann rules ) and can not proceed through a regular thermal mechanism ."

8871,8871,"Clements and Musker were fascinated to learn during their research that the people of Polynesia abruptly stopped making long - distance voyages about three thousand years ago . Their navigational traditions predated those of European explorers , beginning around 300 CE . Native people of the Pacific possessed knowledge of the world and their place in it prior to the incursion of foreigners . For example , Kānaka Maoli ( Native Hawaiians ) were well aware of the existence of far away islands , had names for these places , and were interested in exploring them to benefit their societies . This voyaging heritage was made possible by a geographical knowledge system based on individual perspective rather than the European cardinal direction system . The reasons for the halt of this voyaging tradition remain unknown , but scholars have offered climate change and resulting shifts in ocean currents and wind patterns as one possible explanation . Native peoples of the Pacific resumed voyaging again a thousand years later . Clements and Musker set the film at the end of that era , about two thousand years ago , on a fictional island in the central Pacific Ocean , which drew inspiration from elements of the real - life island nations of Fiji , Samoa , and Tonga ."

8942,8942,"The bird egg is a fertilized gamete ( or , in the case of some birds , such as chickens , possibly unfertilized ) located on the yolk surface and surrounded by albumen , or egg white . The albumen in turn is surrounded by two shell membranes ( inner and outer membranes ) and then the eggshell .

Without the protein , the crystal structure would be too brittle to keep its form and the organic matrix is thought to have a role in deposition of calcium during the mineralization process . The structure and composition of the avian eggshell serves to protect the egg against damage and microbial contamination , prevention of desiccation , regulation of gas and water exchange for the growing embryo , and provides calcium for embryogenesis .

9015,9015,"The Humane Slaughter Act , or the Humane Methods of Livestock Slaughter Act ( P.L. 85 - 765 ; 7 U.S.C. 1901 et seq . ) is a United States federal law designed to decrease suffering of livestock during slaughter . It was approved on August 27 , 1958 . The most notable of these requirements is the need to have an animal completely sedated and insensible to pain . This is to minimize the suffering to the point where the animal feels nothing at all , instead losing a consciousness from which they will never awaken . This differs from animal to animal as size increases and decreases . Larger animals such as bovines require a stronger method than chickens , for example . Bovines require electronarcosis or something equally potent , though electronarcosis remains a standard . The bovine would have a device placed on their head that , once activated , sends an electric charge that efficiently and safely stuns them . Chickens , on the other hand , require much less current to be efficiently sedated and are given a run under electrically charged water . To ensure that these guidelines are met , The Food Safety and Inspection Service inspectors at slaughtering plants are responsible for overseeing compliance , and have the authority to stop slaughter lines and order plant employees to take corrective actions . Although more than 168 million chickens ( excluding broilers ) and around 9 billion broiler chickens are killed for food in the United States yearly , the Humane Slaughter Act specifically mentions only cattle , calves , horses , mules , sheep and swine ."

9019,9019,"Credit for developing cell theory is usually given to two scientists : Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden . While Rudolf Virchow contributed to the theory , he is not as credited for his attributions toward it . In 1839 , Schleiden suggested that every structural part of a plant was made up of cells or the result of cells . He also suggested that cells were made by a crystallization process either within other cells or from the outside . However , this was not an original idea of Schleiden . He claimed this theory as his own , though Barthelemy Dumortier had stated it years before him . This crystallization process is no longer accepted with modern cell theory . In 1839 , Theodor Schwann states that along with plants , animals are composed of cells or the product of cells in their structures . This was a major advancement in the field of biology since little was known about animal structure up to this point compared to plants . From these conclusions about plants and animals , two of the three tenets of cell theory were postulated ."

9032,9032,"The pass grades for A Levels are , from highest to lowest , A * , A , B , C , D and E. The process to decide these grades involves the uniform mark scheme ( UMS ) . Under this scheme , four - module A levels have a maximum mark of 400 UMS ( or 200 UMS each for AS and A2 ) , and six - module A levels have a maximum mark of 600 ( or 300 UMS each for AS and A2 ) . The maximum UMS within AS and A2 may be split unequally between each modules . For example , a Physics AS may have two exam modules worth 90 UMS and 150 UMS , and a coursework module worth 60 UMS . The ' raw marks ' i.e. actual score received on a test may differ from UMS awarded . On each assignment , the correspondence of raw marks to UMS is decided by setting grade boundaries , a process which involves consultation by subject experts and consideration of statistics , aiming to keep standards for each grade the same year on year . Achieving less than 40 % results in a U ( unclassified ) . For passing grades , 40 % corresponds to an E grade , 50 % a D , 60 % a C , 70 % a B , and 80 % an A . The A * grade was introduced in 2010 and is awarded to candidates who average 80 % UMS across all modules , with a score over 90 % UMS in all A2 modules .

Upon reuniting with Jumba , Angel sings her siren song in his ear to make him truly evil again , causing him to lie to Lilo about the experiment 's function , then gives Angel access to his computer when Lilo and Stitch leave his room . Angel was using the duo to infiltrate their home and use the computer 's database to find rehabilitated experiments , all in order to hypnotize them to becoming evil again and bring them to Gantu so they can be brought to Hämsterviel . While she sleeps in a basket in the ʻohana 's laundry room overnight ( Lilo was unwilling to let Angel sleep with Stitch ) , Stitch wakes her up with a bouquet of flowers ; she tries to convert him with her song from there , but only gets a compliment for her singing from him in return .

If the condition is true the code within the block is executed again . This repeats until the condition becomes false . Because do while loops check the condition after the block is executed , the control structure is often also known as a post-test loop . Contrast with the while loop , which tests the condition before the code within the block is executed , the do - while loop is an exit - condition loop . This means that the code must always be executed first and then the expression or test condition is evaluated . If it is true , the code executes the body of the loop again . This process is repeated as long as the expression evaluates to true . If the expression is false , the loop terminates and control transfers to the statement following the do - while loop .

9098,9098,"In the United States , every person accused of a crime punishable by incarceration for more than six months has a constitutionally protected right to a trial by jury , which arises in federal court from Article Three of the United States Constitution , which states in part , `` The Trial of all Crimes ... shall be by Jury ; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed . '' The right was expanded with the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution , which states in part , `` In all criminal prosecutions , the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial , by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed . '' Both provisions were made applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment . Most states ' constitutions also grant the right of trial by jury in lesser criminal matters , though most have abrogated that right in offenses punishable by fine only . The Supreme Court has ruled that if imprisonment is for six months or less , trial by jury is not required , meaning a state may choose whether or not to permit trial by jury in such cases .

Its exact value is 7008299792458000000 ♠ 299,792,458 metres per second ( approximately 7008300000000000000 ♠ 3.00 × 10 m / s , or 300,000 km / s ( 186,000 mi / s ) ) . It is exact because the unit of length , the metre , is defined from this constant and the international standard for time . According to special relativity , c is the maximum speed at which all conventional matter and hence all known forms of information in the universe can travel . Though this speed is most commonly associated with light , it is in fact the speed at which all massless particles and changes of the associated fields travel in vacuum ( including electromagnetic radiation and gravitational waves ) . Such particles and waves travel at c regardless of the motion of the source or the inertial reference frame of the observer . In the theory of relativity , c interrelates space and time , and also appears in the famous equation of mass -- energy equivalence E = mc ."

9108,9108,"In contrast to the persistence of continental crust , the size , shape , and number of continents are constantly changing through geologic time . Different tracts rift apart , collide and recoalesce as part of a grand supercontinent cycle . There are currently about 7 billion cubic kilometers of continental crust , but this quantity varies because of the nature of the forces involved . The relative permanence of continental crust contrasts with the short life of oceanic crust . Because continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust , when active margins of the two meet in subduction zones , the oceanic crust is typically subducted back into the mantle . Continental crust is rarely subducted ( this may occur where continental crustal blocks collide and overthicken , causing deep melting under mountain belts such as the Himalayas or the Alps ) . For this reason the oldest rocks on Earth are within the cratons or cores of the continents , rather than in repeatedly recycled oceanic crust ; the oldest intact crustal fragment is the Acasta Gneiss at 4.01 Ga , whereas the oldest oceanic crust ( located on the Pacific Plate offshore of Kamchatka ) is from the Jurassic ( ~ 180 Ma ) . Continental crust and the rock layers that lie on and within it are thus the best archive of Earth 's history ."

A rift valley is formed on a divergent plate boundary , a crustal extension , a spreading apart of the surface , which is subsequently further deepened by the forces of erosion . When the tensional forces were strong enough to cause the plate to split apart , a center block dropped between the two blocks at its flanks , forming a graben . The drop of the center creates the nearly parallel steeply dipping walls of a rift valley when it is new . That feature is the beginning of the rift valley , but as the process continues , the valley widens , until it becomes a large basin that fills with sediment from the rift walls and the surrounding area . One of the best known examples of this process is the East African Rift . On Earth , rifts can occur at all elevations , from the sea floor to plateaus and mountain ranges in continental crust or in oceanic crust . They are often associated with a number of adjoining subsidiary or co-extensive valleys , which are typically considered part of the principal rift valley geologically ."

9227,9227,"The conquest of Manchuria , a land rich in natural resources , was widely seen as an economic `` lifeline '' to save Japan from the effects of the Great Depression , generating much public support . The American historian Louise Young described Japan from September 1931 to the spring of 1933 as gripped by `` war fever '' as the conquest of Manchuria proved to be an extremely popular war . The metaphor of a `` lifeline '' suggested that Manchuria was crucial to the functioning of the Japanese economy , which explains why the conquest of Manchuria was so popular and why afterwards Japanese public opinion was so hostile towards any suggestion of letting Manchuria go . At the time , censorship in Japan was nowhere near as stringent as it later became , and Young noted : `` Had they wished , it would have been possible in 1931 and 1932 for journalists and editors to express anti-war sentiments '' . The liberal journal Kaizō criticized the war with the journalist Gotō Shinobu in the November 1931 edition accusing the Kwangtung Army of a `` two-fold coup d'état '' against both the government in Tokyo and against the government of China . Voices like Kaizō were a minority as mainstream newspapers like the Asahi soon discovered that an anti-war editorial position hurt sales , and so switched over to an aggressively militaristic editorial position as the best way to increase sales . Japan 's most famous pacifist , the poet Akiko Yosano had caused a sensation in 1904 with her anti-war poem `` Brother Do Not Give Your Life '' , addressed to her younger brother serving in the Imperial Army that called the war with Russia stupid and senseless . Such was the extent of `` war fever '' in Japan in 1931 that even Akiko succumbed , writing a poem in 1932 praising bushidō , urging the Kwantung Army to `` smash the sissified dreams of compromise '' and declared that to die for the Emperor in battle was the most `` purest '' act a Japanese man could perform ."

9407,9407,"In atomic physics , the Rutherford -- Bohr model or Bohr model or Bohr diagram , introduced by Niels Bohr and Ernest Rutherford in 1913 , depicts the atom as a small , positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in circular orbits around the nucleus -- similar to the structure of the Solar System , but with attraction provided by electrostatic forces rather than gravity . After the cubic model ( 1902 ) , the plum - pudding model ( 1904 ) , the Saturnian model ( 1904 ) , and the Rutherford model ( 1911 ) came the Rutherford -- Bohr model or just Bohr model for short ( 1913 ) . The improvement to the Rutherford model is mostly a quantum physical interpretation of it . The model 's key success lay in explaining the Rydberg formula for the spectral emission lines of atomic hydrogen . While the Rydberg formula had been known experimentally , it did not gain a theoretical underpinning until the Bohr model was introduced . Not only did the Bohr model explain the reason for the structure of the Rydberg formula , it also provided a justification for its empirical results in terms of fundamental physical constants ."

9419,9419,"A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants , bacteria , and some protists is chitin in their cell walls . Similar to animals , fungi are heterotrophs ; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules , typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment . Fungi do not photosynthesise . Growth is their means of mobility , except for spores ( a few of which are flagellated ) , which may travel through the air or water . Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems . These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms , named the Eumycota ( true fungi or Eumycetes ) , which share a common ancestor ( form a monophyletic group ) , an interpretation that is also strongly supported by molecular phylogenetics . This fungal group is distinct from the structurally similar myxomycetes ( slime molds ) and oomycetes ( water molds ) . The discipline of biology devoted to the study of fungi is known as mycology ( from the Greek μύκης mykes , mushroom ) . In the past , mycology was regarded as a branch of botany , although it is now known fungi are genetically more closely related to animals than to plants ."

The United States , Canada , Japan , South Korea , Western European nations and their allies represented the First World , while the Soviet Union , China , Cuba , and their allies represented the Second World . This terminology provided a way of broadly categorizing the nations of the Earth into three groups based on political and economic divisions . Since the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War , the term Third World has been used less and less . It is being replaced with terms such as developing countries , least developed countries or the Global South .

9423,9423,"Subsistence farming continues today in large parts of rural Africa , and parts of Asia and Latin America . In 2015 , about 2 billion people ( slightly more than 25 % of the world 's population ) in 500 million households living in rural areas of developing nations survive as `` smallholder '' farmers , working less than 2 hectares ( 5 acres ) of land . Subsistence agriculture had largely disappeared in Europe by the beginning of World War I , and in North America with the movement of sharecroppers and tenant farmers out of the American South and Midwest during the 1930s and 1940s . As recently as the 1950s , it was still common on family farms in North America and Europe to grow much of a family 's own food and make much of its own clothing , although sales of some of the farm 's production earned enough currency to buy certain staples , typically including sugar ; coffee and tea ; petroleum distillates ( petrol , kerosene , fuel oil ) ; textile products such as bolts of cloth , needles , and thread ; medicines ; hardware products such as nails , screws , and wire ; and a few discretionary items such as candy or books . Many of the preceding items , as well as occasional services from physicians , veterinarians , blacksmiths , and others , were often bought with barter rather than currency . In Central and Eastern Europe subsistence and semi-subsistence agriculture reappeared within the transition economy since about 1990 ."

9434,9434,"From the 16th to the early 20th century , the structure of the rosary remained essentially unchanged . There were 15 mysteries , one for each of the 15 decades . In the 20th century the addition of the Fatima Prayer to the end of each decade became popular . After Vatican Council II , Msgr . Annibale Bugnini , architect of the liturgical reform , proposed further changes to the structure of the Rosary , but Pope Paul VI refused to implement the proposal on the grounds that changing such a well - established and popular devotion would unsettle the piety of the faithful and show a lack of reverence for an ancient practice . There were thus no other changes until 2002 when John Paul II instituted five new Luminous Mysteries . In the 17th century , the Rosary began to appear as an element in key pieces of Roman Catholic Marian art . Key examples include Murrillo 's Madonna with the Rosary at the Museo del Prado in Spain , and the statue of Madonna with Rosary at the church of San Nazaro Maggiore in Milan .

Agricultural output grew faster than the population over the century to 1770 , and thereafter productivity remained among the highest in the world . This increase in the food supply contributed to the rapid growth of population in England and Wales , from 5.5 million in 1700 to over 9 million by 1801 though domestic production gave way increasingly to food imports in the nineteenth century as population more than tripled to over 32 million . The rise in productivity accelerated the decline of the agricultural share of the labour force , adding to the urban workforce on which industrialization depended : the Agricultural Revolution has therefore been cited as a cause of the Industrial Revolution ."

9459,9459,"All intermolecular / van der Waals forces are anisotropic ( except those between two noble gas atoms ) , which means that they depend on the relative orientation of the molecules . The induction and dispersion interactions are always attractive , irrespective of orientation , but the electrostatic interaction changes sign upon rotation of the molecules . That is , the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive , depending on the mutual orientation of the molecules . When molecules are in thermal motion , as they are in the gas and liquid phase , the electrostatic force is averaged out to a large extent , because the molecules thermally rotate and thus probe both repulsive and attractive parts of the electrostatic force . Sometimes this effect is expressed by the statement that `` random thermal motion around room temperature can usually overcome or disrupt them '' ( which refers to the electrostatic component of the van der Waals force ) . Clearly , the thermal averaging effect is much less pronounced for the attractive induction and dispersion forces ."

He moved to Basel , Switzerland , for safety in 1535 , and around this time he must have begun writing a summary of theology which would become the Institutes .

He decided to adapt the work he had been writing to the purpose of defending Protestants suffering from persecution from false accusations that they were espousing radical and heretical doctrines . The work , written in Latin , was published in Basel in March 1536 with a preface addressed to King Francis I of France , entreating him to give the Protestants a hearing rather than continue to persecute them . It is six chapters long , covering the basics of Christian faith using the familiar catechetical structure of the Ten Commandments , the Apostles ' Creed , the Lord 's Prayer , and the sacraments , as well as a chapter on Christian liberty and political theology .

9526,9526,"The Gatling gun , patented in 1861 by Richard Jordan Gatling , was the first to offer controlled , sequential fire with mechanical loading . The design 's key features were machine loading of prepared cartridges and a hand - operated crank for sequential high - speed firing . It first saw very limited action in the American Civil War ; it was subsequently improved and used in the Franco - Prussian war and North - West Rebellion . Many were sold to other armies in the late 19th century and continued to be used into the early 20th century , until they were gradually supplanted by Maxim guns . Early multi-barrel guns were approximately the size and weight of contemporary artillery pieces , and were often perceived as a replacement for cannon firing grapeshot or canister shot . The large wheels required to move these guns around required a high firing position , which increased the vulnerability of their crews . Sustained firing of gunpowder cartridges generated a cloud of smoke , making concealment impossible until smokeless powder became available in the late 19th century . Gatling guns were targeted by artillery they could not reach , and their crews were targeted by snipers they could not see . The Gatling gun was used most successfully to expand European colonial empires , since against poorly equipped indigenous armies it did not face such threats ."

9532,9532,"During World War II , Ohio State was one of the few colleges able to field a marching band for every home game . The band was able to field 100 to 120 musicians throughout the war . Because the band was still under ROTC control , women were not allowed to perform . The band was open to alumni members of the band , woodwind players , vocalists , high school students , even strangers on the street who expressed interest . The morale with which this highly volunteer band helped to cheer on Ohio State football was during a time when spirits on the home front were at a low . By the early 1950s , the Department of Defense issued much more stringent rules about what courses and activities constitute eligible curriculum for the ROTC program . The Marching Band was no longer an eligible activity , and in 1952 , the Marching Band officially ended ties with the ROTC department . Cadets in the band could continue to try out and participate in band , but they would no longer receive ROTC credit . Once the Marching Band separated from ROTC control , the band was more free to experiment with show themes and music genres , culminating in the band 's 1965 performance of `` Hang On , Sloopy ! '' . After the extremely positive response for `` Sloopy '' , the band decided to venture into more modern and topical styles of music ."

The comet and Earth were on opposite sides of the Sun in February 1986 , creating the worst viewing circumstances for Earth observers for the last 2,000 years .

9581,9581,"The luteal phase is the final phase of the ovarian cycle and it corresponds to the secretory phase of the uterine cycle . During the luteal phase , the pituitary hormones FSH and LH cause the remaining parts of the dominant follicle to transform into the corpus luteum , which produces progesterone . The increased progesterone in the adrenals starts to induce the production of estrogen . The hormones produced by the corpus luteum also suppress production of the FSH and LH that the corpus luteum needs to maintain itself . Consequently , the level of FSH and LH fall quickly over time , and the corpus luteum subsequently atrophies . Falling levels of progesterone trigger menstruation and the beginning of the next cycle . From the time of ovulation until progesterone withdrawal has caused menstruation to begin , the process typically takes about two weeks , with 14 days considered normal . For an individual woman , the follicular phase often varies in length from cycle to cycle ; by contrast , the length of her luteal phase will be fairly consistent from cycle to cycle ."

9633,9633,"The conversion of nitrogen gas ( N ) into nitrates and nitrites through atmospheric , industrial and biological processes is called nitrogen fixation . Atmospheric nitrogen must be processed , or `` fixed '' , into a usable form to be taken up by plants . Between 5x10 and 10x10 g per year are fixed by lightning strikes , but most fixation is done by free - living or symbiotic bacteria known as diazotrophs . These bacteria have the nitrogenase enzyme that combines gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia , which is converted by the bacteria into other organic compounds . Most biological nitrogen fixation occurs by the activity of Mo - nitrogenase , found in a wide variety of bacteria and some Archaea . Mo - nitrogenase is a complex two - component enzyme that has multiple metal - containing prosthetic groups . An example of free - living bacteria is Azotobacter . Symbiotic nitrogen - fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium usually live in the root nodules of legumes ( such as peas , alfalfa , and locust trees ) . Here they form a mutualistic relationship with the plant , producing ammonia in exchange for carbohydrates . Because of this relationship , legumes will often increase the nitrogen content of nitrogen - poor soils . A few non-legumes can also form such symbioses . Today , about 30 % of the total fixed nitrogen is produced industrially using the Haber - Bosch process , which uses high temperatures and pressures to convert nitrogen gas and a hydrogen source ( natural gas or petroleum ) into ammonia ."

9648,9648,"The founder of the Mughal empire , Babur , described his favourite type of garden as a charbagh . They use the term bāgh , baug , bageecha or bagicha for garden . This word developed a new meaning in India , as Babur explains ; India lacked the fast - flowing streams required for the Central Asian charbagh . The Agra garden , which was renamed after Partition of India as the Ram Bagh , since it lied in Hindu majority portion is thought to have been the first charbagh . India , Bangladesh and Pakistan have a number of Mughal gardens which differ from their Central Asian predecessors with respect to `` the highly disciplined geometry '' . An early textual references about Mughal gardens are found in the memoirs and biographies of the Mughal emperors , including those of Babur , Humayun and Akbar . Later references are found from `` the accounts of India '' written by various European travellers ( Bernier for example ) . The first serious historical study of Mughal gardens was written by Constance Villiers - Stuart , with the title Gardens of the Great Mughals ( 1913 ) . Her husband was a Colonel in Britain 's Indian army . This gave her a good network of contacts and an opportunity to travel . During their residence at Pinjore Gardens , Mrs. Villiers - Stuart also had an opportunity to direct the maintenance of an important Mughal garden . Her book makes reference to the forthcoming design of a garden in the Government House at New Delhi ( now known as Rashtrapati Bhavan ) . She was consulted by Edwin Lutyens , and this may have influenced his choice of Mughal style for this project . Recent scholarly work on the history of Mughal gardens has been carried out under the auspicious guidance of Dumbarton Oaks ( including Mughal Gardens : Sources , Places , Representations , and Prospects edited by James L.

Upon the arrival of an action potential at the presynaptic neuron terminal , voltage - dependent calcium channels open and Ca ions flow from the extracellular fluid into the presynaptic neuron 's cytosol . This influx of Ca causes neurotransmitter - containing vesicles to dock and fuse to the presynaptic neuron 's cell membrane through SNARE proteins . Fusion of the vesicular membrane with the presynaptic cell membrane results in the emptying of the vesicle 's contents ( acetylcholine ) into the synaptic cleft , a process known as exocytosis .

9657,9657,"In 1858 Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published a new evolutionary theory , explained in detail in Darwin 's On the Origin of Species ( 1859 ) . Unlike Lamarck , Darwin proposed common descent and a branching tree of life , meaning that two very different species could share a common ancestor . Darwin based his theory on the idea of natural selection : it synthesized a broad range of evidence from animal husbandry , biogeography , geology , morphology , and embryology . Debate over Darwin 's work led to the rapid acceptance of the general concept of evolution , but the specific mechanism he proposed , natural selection , was not widely accepted until it was revived by developments in biology that occurred during the 1920s through the 1940s . Before that time most biologists regarded other factors as responsible for evolution . Alternatives to natural selection suggested during `` the eclipse of Darwinism '' ( c. 1880 to 1920 ) included inheritance of acquired characteristics ( neo-Lamarckism ) , an innate drive for change ( orthogenesis ) , and sudden large mutations ( saltationism ) . Mendelian genetics , a series of 19th - century experiments with pea plant variations rediscovered in 1900 , was integrated with natural selection by Ronald Fisher , J.B.S. Haldane , and Sewall Wright during the 1910s to 1930s , and resulted in the founding of the new discipline of population genetics . During the 1930s and 1940s population genetics became integrated with other biological fields , resulting in a widely applicable theory of evolution that encompassed much of biology -- the modern synthesis ."
9658,9658,"A modern hurdle will fall over if a runner hits it . There is no penalty for hitting a hurdle ( provided this is not judged deliberate ) . The misconception is based on old rules before the hurdles were weighted . In the 1932 Olympics , Bob Tisdall famously won the Olympic Gold medal in the 400 metre hurdles in World Record time , but was not credited with the record due to knocking over a hurdle . There can be disqualification if a hurdler knocks a hurdle into an opponents lane and it is judged to have interfered with the opponent 's ability to run the race . There are now specifications for the tipping weight of a hurdle ( the weights need to be adjusted to correspond with the height of the hurdle ) so hitting a hurdle theoretically slows down the rhythm of the hurdler . However , pushing the hurdle with one 's hands or running out of one 's lane as a result of hitting the hurdle is cause for disqualification . While hitting hurdles is not generally considered desirable , a few sprint hurdlers have succeeded despite knocking over many hurdles . Contact with hurdles can decrease speed and also result in disruption of a hurdler 's technique . Some coaches suggest if you lightly `` kiss '' the hurdle with the side of the leg closest to the hurdle , it can help with the runners speed by keeping the runner closer to the ground ."

9685,9685,"The nephron ( from Greek νεφρός -- nephros , meaning `` kidney '' ) is the microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney . It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule . The renal corpuscle consists of a tuft of capillaries called a glomerulus and an encompassing Bowman 's capsule . The renal tubule extends from the capsule . The capsule and tubule are connected and are composed of epithelial cells with a lumen . A healthy adult has 0.8 to 1.5 million nephrons in each kidney . Blood is filtered as it passes through three layers : the endothelial cells of the capillary wall , its basement membrane , and between the foot processes of the podocytes of the lining of the capsule . The tubule has adjacent peritubular capillaries that run between the descending and ascending portions of the tubule . As the fluid from the capsule flows down into the tubule , it is processed by the epithelial cells lining the tubule : water is reabsorbed and substances are exchanged ( some are added , others are removed ) ; first with the interstitial fluid outside the tubules , and then into the plasma in the adjacent peritubular capillaries through the endothelial cells lining that capillary . This process regulates the volume of body fluid as well as levels of many body substances . At the end of the tubule , the remaining fluid -- urine -- exits : it is composed of water , metabolic waste , and toxins ."

9701,9701,"Sperm is produced in the testes and enters the ejaculatory ducts via the vas deferens . As it passes by the seminal vesicles , a fluid rich in fructose combines with sperm . This addition nourishes the sperm in order to keep it active and motile . Seminal fluid continues down the ejaculatory duct into the prostate gland , where an alkaline prostatic fluid is added . This addition provides the texture and odor associated with semen . The alkalinity of the prostatic fluid serves to neutralize the acidity of the female vaginal tract in order to prolong the survival of sperm in this harsh environment . Semen is now a fructose - rich , alkaline fluid containing sperm as it enters the bulbourethral glands below the prostate . The bulbourethral glands secrete a small amount of clear fluid into the urethra before the ejaculate is expelled . The functions of this fluid are not entirely known but are suggested to aid in lubricating the male urethra in preparation for the semen during ejaculation .

9844,9844,"Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy , most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( MRS ) , is a spectroscopic technique to observe local magnetic fields around atomic nuclei . The sample is placed in a magnetic field and the NMR signal is produced by excitation of the nuclei sample with radio waves into nuclear magnetic resonance , which is detected with sensitive radio receivers . The intramolecular magnetic field around an atom in a molecule changes the resonance frequency , thus giving access to details of the electronic structure of a molecule and its individual functional groups . As the fields are unique or highly characteristic to individual compounds , in modern organic chemistry practice , NMR spectroscopy is the definitive method to identify monomolecular organic compounds . Similarly , biochemists use NMR to identify proteins and other complex molecules . Besides identification , NMR spectroscopy provides detailed information about the structure , dynamics , reaction state , and chemical environment of molecules . The most common types of NMR are proton and carbon - 13 NMR spectroscopy , but it is applicable to any kind of sample that contains nuclei possessing spin ."

9888,9888,"Years later , a black ops arm of the CIA was formed to eliminate the notorious Carlos the Jackal and called Treadstone Seventy - One , named after a building on New York 's Seventy - First Street , and Webb was called up by the creator of Treadstone and Medusa , David Abbott , who was nicknamed The Monk , ( short for The Silent Monk of Covert Operations ) to be its principal agent . At this point , Webb ( Delta ) takes the identity of Jason Bourne due to the actual Bourne 's status as MIA in the war as well as the fact that Bourne was in reality a ruthless killer with a long criminal record . The point of all this was to turn Jason Bourne into something more than he really was , a contract assassin who would be known all over the world for terminating the lives of just about anyone . The assassin 's alias was Cain . The reasoning for creating such a myth was to create competition for the well - known assassin named Carlos , or Carlos the Jackal ( real name Ilich Ramírez Sánchez ) who at that time was considered the world 's best and most famous assassin . The name Cain was chosen because it had some significance for what he was doing . During Vietnam , Cain was used instead of Charlie in the phonetic alphabet ( Alpha , Bravo , Charlie , Delta , Echo , Foxtrot ... ) because Charlie became synonymous with Viet Cong . So Delta dropped back one letter to Cain , which stood for Charlie . In Spanish , Charlie is Carlos ; Carlos was Venezuelan . The myth of Cain was created by having Cain take credit for any well - publicized killings that took place in Asia , and later in Europe , regardless of the circumstances . By creating this myth , Cain was to drive the reclusive Carlos out in the open `` long enough to put a bullet in his head '' . To add insult to Carlos 's name , Cain stole the credit for Carlos 's kills , even when Cain had no part in them ."

9890,9890,"Neoclassicism in painting gained a new sense of direction with the sensational success of Jacques - Louis David 's Oath of the Horatii at the Paris Salon of 1785 . Despite its evocation of republican virtues , this was a commission by the royal government , which David insisted on painting in Rome . David managed to combine an idealist style with drama and forcefulness . The central perspective is perpendicular to the picture plane , made more emphatic by the dim arcade behind , against which the heroic figures are disposed as in a frieze , with a hint of the artificial lighting and staging of opera , and the classical colouring of Nicholas Poussin . David rapidly became the leader of French art , and after the French Revolution became a politician with control of much government patronage in art .

The second group of needs are those of relatedness - the desire we have for maintaining important personal relationships . These social and status desires require interaction with others if they are to be satisfied , and they align with Maslow 's social need and the external component of Maslow 's esteem classification . Finally , Alderfer isolates growth needs as an intrinsic desire for personal development . Maslow 's categories are broken down into many different parts and there are a lot of needs . The ERG categories are more broad and covers more than just certain areas . As a person grows , the existence , relatedness , and growth for all desires continue to grow .

Jargon is thus `` the technical terminology or characteristic idiom of a special activity or group '' . Most jargon is technical terminology , involving terms of art or industry terms , with particular meaning within a specific industry . A main driving force in the creation of technical jargon is precision and efficiency of communication when a discussion must easily range from general themes to specific , finely differentiated details without circumlocution .

While his distance estimate was in significant error ( although within the same order of magnitude as the currently accepted value ) , it did demonstrate that the dimensions of the galaxy were much greater than had been previously thought . His error was due to interstellar dust in the Milky Way , which absorbs and diminishes the amount of light from distant objects , such as globular clusters , that reaches the Earth , thus making them appear to be more distant than they are ."

10092,10092,"Most human babies demonstrate an innate swimming or diving reflex from birth until the age of approximately six months . However , babies this young can not actually swim , due to their lack of body features and strength . Other mammals also demonstrate this phenomenon ( see mammalian diving reflex ) . This reflex involves apnea ( loss of drive to breathe ) , slowed heart rate ( reflex bradycardia ) , and reduced blood circulation to the extremities such as fingers and toes ( peripheral vasoconstriction ) . During the diving reflex , the infant 's heart rate decreases by an average of 20 % . The glottis is spontaneously sealed off and the water entering the upper respiratory tract is diverted down the esophagus into the stomach . The diving response has been shown to have an oxygen - conserving effect , both during movement and at rest .

10141,10141,"Wood gasifiers can power either spark ignition engines , where 100 % of the normal fuel can be replaced with little change to the carburation , or in a Diesel engine , feeding the gas into the air inlet that is modified to have a throttle valve , if it did n't have it already . On Diesel engines the Diesel fuel is still needed to ignite the gas mixture , so a mechanically regulated Diesel engine 's `` stop '' linkage and probably `` throttle '' linkage must be modified to always give the engine a little bit of injected fuel , often under the standard idle per - injection volume . Wood can be used to power cars with ordinary internal combustion engines if a wood gasifier is attached . This was quite popular during World War II in several European , African and Asian countries , because the war prevented easy and cost - effective access to oil . In more recent times , wood gas has been suggested as a clean and efficient method to heat and cook in developing countries , or even to produce electricity when combined with an internal combustion engine . Compared to World War II technology , gasifiers have become less dependent on constant attention due to the use of sophisticated electronic control systems , but it remains difficult to get clean gas from them . Purification of the gas and feeding it into natural gas pipelines is one variant to link it to the existing refueling infrastructure . Liquefaction by the Fischer -- Tropsch process is another possibility ."

10157,10157,"The four color theorem was proved in 1976 by Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken . It was the first major theorem to be proved using a computer . Appel and Haken 's approach started by showing that there is a particular set of 1,936 maps , each of which can not be part of a smallest - sized counterexample to the four color theorem . ( If they did appear , there would be a smaller counterexample . ) Appel and Haken used a special - purpose computer program to confirm that each of these maps had this property . Additionally , any map that could potentially be a counterexample must have a portion that looks like one of these 1,936 maps . Showing this required hundreds of pages of hand analysis . Appel and Haken concluded that no smallest counterexamples exist because any must contain , yet do not contain , one of these 1,936 maps . This contradiction means there are no counterexamples at all and that the theorem is therefore true . Initially , their proof was not accepted by all mathematicians because the computer - assisted proof was infeasible for a human to check by hand ( Swart 1980 ) . Since then the proof has gained wider acceptance , although doubts remain ( Wilson 2014 , 216 -- 222 ) . Stephen Wolfram , for example , stated that in general , proofs can be arbitrarily long , and can be quite devoid of what might be considered meaningful structure and thus are often considered controversial - listing the Four - Color Theorem as just one example of such case ."

Depletion of chondrocytes due to apoptosis leads to less ossification and growth slows down and later stops when the entire cartilage have become replaced by bone , leaving only a thin epiphyseal scar which later disappears ."

However , the Miller 's interruption makes it clear that this structure will be abandoned in favour of a free and open exchange of stories among all classes present . General themes and points of view arise as the characters tell their tales , which are responded to by other characters in their own tales , sometimes after a long lapse in which the theme has not been addressed ."

10550,10550,"In the first half of the 19th century , London had grown greatly and the development of a commuting population arriving by train each day led to traffic congestion with carts , cabs and omnibuses filling the roads . By 1850 there were seven railway termini located around the urban centre of London and the concept of an underground railway linking the City of London with these stations was first proposed in the 1830s . Charles Pearson , Solicitor to the City of London , was a leading promoter of several schemes , and he contributed to the creation of the City Terminus Company to build such a railway from Farringdon to King 's Cross in 1852 . Although the plan was supported by the City of London , the railway companies were not interested and the company struggled to proceed . In 1854 the Metropolitan Railway ( also known as the Met ) was granted permission to build an underground line at an estimated cost of £ 1 million . With the Crimean War under way , the Met found it hard to raise the capital , and construction did not start until March 1860 . The railway was mostly built using the `` cut - and - cover '' method from Paddington to King 's Cross ; east of King 's Cross it was built by tunnelling and then followed the culverted River Fleet in an open cutting to the new meat market at Smithfield . The 3.75 - mile ( 6 km ) railway opened to the public on 10 January 1863 , using steam locomotives hauling wooden carriages . It was hailed as a success , carrying 38,000 passengers on the opening day , borrowing trains from other railways to supplement the service . In the first twelve months 9.5 million passengers were carried and in the second twelve months this increased to 12 million ."

Unlike other types of fossils which are typically impressions or compressions , petrified wood is a three - dimensional representation of the original organic material . The petrifaction process occurs underground , when wood becomes buried under sediment or volcanic ash and is initially preserved due to a lack of oxygen which inhibits aerobic decomposition . Mineral - laden water flowing through the covering material deposits minerals in the plant 's cells ; as the plant 's lignin and cellulose decay , a stone mold forms in its place . The organic matter needs to become petrified before it decomposes completely . A forest where such material has petrified becomes known as a petrified forest ."

10607,10607,"In the United States , at least by 1818 with William Cullen Bryant 's `` To a Waterfowl '' , Romantic poetry was being published . American Romantic Gothic literature made an early appearance with Washington Irving 's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow ( 1820 ) and Rip Van Winkle ( 1819 ) , followed from 1823 onwards by the Leatherstocking Tales of James Fenimore Cooper , with their emphasis on heroic simplicity and their fervent landscape descriptions of an already - exotic mythicized frontier peopled by `` noble savages '' , similar to the philosophical theory of Rousseau , exemplified by Uncas , from The Last of the Mohicans . There are picturesque `` local color '' elements in Washington Irving 's essays and especially his travel books . Edgar Allan Poe 's tales of the macabre and his balladic poetry were more influential in France than at home , but the romantic American novel developed fully with the atmosphere and melodrama of Nathaniel Hawthorne 's The Scarlet Letter ( 1850 ) . Later Transcendentalist writers such as Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson still show elements of its influence and imagination , as does the romantic realism of Walt Whitman . The poetry of Emily Dickinson -- nearly unread in her own time -- and Herman Melville 's novel Moby - Dick can be taken as epitomes of American Romantic literature .

Then the intervening regions of the chromosome are brought together , and may be connected by a protein - RNA complex called the synaptonemal complex . Autosomes undergo synapsis during meiosis , and are held together by a protein complex along the whole length of the chromosomes called the synaptonemal complex . Sex chromosomes also undergo synapsis ; however , the synaptonemal protein complex that holds the homologous chromosomes together is only present at one end of each sex chromosome ."

10703,10703,"A varying current in the transformer 's primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformer core and a varying magnetic field impinging on the secondary winding . This varying magnetic field at the secondary winding induces a varying EMF or voltage in the secondary winding due to electromagnetic induction . The primary and secondary windings are wrapped around a core of infinitely high magnetic permeability so that all of the magnetic flux passes through both the primary and secondary windings . With a voltage source connected to the primary winding and load impedance connected to the secondary winding , the transformer currents flow in the indicated directions . ( See also Polarity . )"

10713,10713,"The concept of dominance was introduced by Gregor Johann Mendel . Though Mendel , `` The Father of Genetics '' , first used the term in the 1860s , it was not widely known until the early twentieth century . Mendel observed that , for a variety of traits of garden peas having to do with the appearance of seeds , seed pods , and plants , there were two discrete phenotypes , such as round versus wrinkled seeds , yellow versus green seeds , red versus white flowers or tall versus short plants . When bred separately , the plants always produced the same phenotypes , generation after generation . However , when lines with different phenotypes were crossed ( interbred ) , one and only one of the parental phenotypes showed up in the offspring ( green , or round , or red , or tall ) . However , when these hybrid plants were crossed , the offspring plants showed the two original phenotypes , in a characteristic 3 : 1 ratio , the more common phenotype being that of the parental hybrid plants . Mendel reasoned that each parent in the first cross was a homozygote for different alleles ( one parent AA and the other parent aa ) , that each contributed one allele to the offspring , with the result that all of these hybrids were heterozygotes ( Aa ) , and that one of the two alleles in the hybrid cross dominated expression of the other : A masked a . The final cross between two heterozygotes ( Aa X Aa ) would produce AA , Aa , and aa offspring in a 1 : 2 : 1 genotype ratio with the first two classes showing the ( A ) phenotype , and the last showing the ( a ) phenotype , thereby producing the 3 : 1 phenotype ratio ."

The code proved to have a serious problem ; the printers would sometimes smear ink , rendering the code unreadable in most orientations . However , a linear code , like the one being developed by Woodland at IBM , was printed in the direction of the stripes , so extra ink would simply make the code `` taller '' while remaining readable .

10731,10731,"The historical phenomenon of colonization is one that stretches around the globe and across time . Modern state global colonialism , or imperialism , began in the 15th century with the `` Age of Discovery '' , led by Portuguese and Spanish exploration of the Americas , the coasts of Africa , the Middle East , India and East Asia . The Spanish and Portuguese empires were the first global empires because they were the first to stretch across different continents , covering vast territories around the globe . In 1492 , notable explorer Christopher Columbus `` discovered '' America . The phrase `` the empire on which the sun never sets '' was first used for the Spanish Empire in the 16th century . During the late 16th and 17th centuries , England , France and the Dutch Republic also established their own overseas empires , in direct competition with each other . The end of the 18th and early 19th century saw the first era of decolonization , when most of the European colonies in the Americas gained their independence from their respective metropoles . Spain was irreversibly weakened after the loss of their New World colonies , but the Kingdom of Great Britain ( uniting Scotland with England and Wales ) , France , Portugal , and the Dutch turned their attention to the Old World , particularly South Africa , India and South East Asia , where coastal enclaves had already been established . The second industrial revolution , in the 19th century , led to what has been termed the era of New Imperialism , when the pace of colonization rapidly accelerated , the height of which was the Scramble for Africa , in which Belgium , Germany and Italy were also participants ."

Disagreements and personality clashes must be resolved before the team can progress out of this stage , and so some teams may never emerge from `` storming '' or re-enter that phase if new challenges or disputes arise . In Tuckman 's 1965 paper , only 50 % of the studies identified a stage of intragroup conflict , and some of the remaining studies jumped directly from stage 1 to stage 3 . Some groups may avoid the phase altogether , but for those who do n't , the duration , intensity and destructiveness of the `` storms '' can be varied . Tolerance of each team member and their differences should be emphasized ; without tolerance and patience the team will fail . This phase can become destructive to the team and will lower motivation if allowed to get out of control . Some teams will never develop past this stage ; however , disagreements within the team can make members stronger , more versatile , and able to work more effectively as a team . Supervisors of the team during this phase may be more accessible , but tend to remain directive in their guidance of decision - making and professional behaviour . The team members will therefore resolve their differences and members will be able to participate with one another more comfortably . The ideal is that they will not feel that they are being judged , and will therefore share their opinions and views . Normally tension , struggle and sometimes arguments occur . This stage can also be upsetting ."

The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them , and give names to these shadows . The shadows are the prisoners ' reality . Socrates explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not reality at all , for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the manufactured reality that is the shadows seen by the prisoners . The inmates of this place do not even desire to leave their prison , for they know no better life . The prisoners manage to break their bonds one day , and discover that their reality was not what they thought it was . They discovered the sun , which Plato uses as an analogy for the fire that man can not see behind . Like the fire that cast light on the walls of the cave , the human condition is forever bound to the impressions that are received through the senses . Even if these interpretations ( or , in Kantian terminology , intuitions ) are an absurd misrepresentation of reality , we can not somehow break free from the bonds of our human condition -- we can not free ourselves from phenomenal state just as the prisoners could not free themselves from their chains . If , however , we were to miraculously escape our bondage , we would find a world that we could not understand -- the sun is incomprehensible for someone who has never seen it .

The course of study is typically three or four years . The difference in degree designation may relate to the amount of basic science courses required as part of the degree , with BScN and BSN degree curriculums requiring completion of more courses on math and natural sciences that are more typical of BSc degrees ( e.g. calculus , physics , chemistry , biology ) and BN curriculums more focused on nursing theory , nursing process , and teaching versions of general science topics that are adapted to be more specific and relevant to nursing practice . Nursing school students are generally required to take courses in social and behavioral sciences and liberal arts , including nutrition , anatomy , chemistry , mathematics , and English . In addition to those courses , experience in physical and social sciences , communication , leadership , and critical thinking is required for a bachelor 's degree . BSN programs typically last 3 - 4 years .

10869,10869,"In political science and sociology , elite theory is a theory of the state which seeks to describe and explain the power relationships in contemporary society . The theory posits that a small minority , consisting of members of the economic elite and policy - planning networks , holds the most power and that this power is independent of a state 's democratic elections process . Through positions in corporations or on corporate boards , and influence over the policy - planning networks through financial support of foundations or positions with think tanks or policy - discussion groups , members of the `` elite '' are able to exert significant power over the policy decisions of corporations and governments . An example of this can be found in the Forbes magazine article ( published in December 2009 ) entitled The World 's Most Powerful People , in which Forbes purported to list the 67 most powerful people in the world ( assigning one `` slot '' for each 100,000,000 of human population ) . The basic characteristics of this theory are that power is concentrated , the elites are unified , the non-elites are diverse and powerless , elites interests are unified due to common backgrounds and positions and the defining characteristic of power is institutional position ."
10870,10870,"In the mid-1950s , the United States bedding industry introduced a new size : the king size . A king - sized bed differs from the other sizes in implementation , as it is not common to have a king - sized box spring ; rather , two smaller box - springs are used under a king - sized mattress . It is a common misconception that in a US `` standard '' or `` Eastern king '' , the box springs are identical in size to a `` twin extra-long '' ; however , `` twin extra-long '' mattresses next to each other add up to 78 inches ( 200 cm ) wide instead of the 76 inches ( 190 cm ) width that is standard for an `` eastern king '' . Another size variant in the United States is the `` California king '' , which measures 72 by 84 inches ( 180 cm × 210 cm ) long ( narrower but longer than the standard king ) ."
10871,10871,"Polyploidy is the state of a cell or organism having more than two paired ( homologous ) sets of chromosomes . Most species whose cells have nuclei ( eukaryotes ) are diploid , meaning they have two sets of chromosomes -- one set inherited from each parent . However , polyploidy is found in some organisms and is especially common in plants . In addition , polyploidy occurs in some tissues of animals that are otherwise diploid , such as human muscle tissues . This is known as endopolyploidy . Species whose cells do not have nuclei , that is , prokaryotes , may be polyploid , as seen in the large bacterium Epulopiscium fishelsoni . Hence ploidy is defined with respect to a cell . Most eukaryotes have diploid somatic cells , but produce haploid gametes ( eggs and sperm ) by meiosis . A monoploid has only one set of chromosomes , and the term is usually only applied to cells or organisms that are normally diploid . Male bees and other Hymenoptera , for example , are monoploid . Unlike animals , plants and multicellular algae have life cycles with two alternating multicellular generations . The gametophyte generation is haploid , and produces gametes by mitosis , the sporophyte generation is diploid and produces spores by meiosis ."

10880,10880,"Herbert Spencer ( 1820 -- 1903 ) , the English philosopher , was one of the most popular and influential 19th - century sociologists . The early sociology of Spencer came about broadly as a reaction to Comte and Marx ; writing before and after the Darwinian revolution in biology , Spencer attempted to reformulate the discipline in what we might now describe as socially Darwinistic terms . In fact , his early writings show a coherent theory of general evolution several years before Darwin published anything on the subject . Encouraged by his friend and follower Edward L. Youmans , Spencer published The Study of Sociology in 1874 , which was the first book with the term `` sociology '' in the title . In the 1900 edition of the journal International Monthly , Franklin H. Giddings ( 1855 -- 1931 ) , the first professor of sociology at Columbia University , described it as the book that `` first awakened in England , America , France , Italy and Russia a wide interest general interest '' in the then fledgling discipline of sociology . In the United States , Charles Horton Cooley , stated in a 1920 article that The Study of Sociology `` probably did more to arouse interest in the subject than any other publication before or since . '' It is estimated that he sold one million books in his lifetime , far more than any other sociologist at the time . So strong was his influence that many other 19th century thinkers , including Émile Durkheim , defined their ideas in relation to his . Durkheim 's Division of Labour in Society is to a large extent an extended debate with Spencer from whose sociology Durkheim borrowed extensively . Also a notable biologist , Spencer coined the term `` survival of the fittest '' as a basic mechanism by which more effective socio - cultural forms progressed . Whilst many intellectuals of his day were proponents of socialism as a scientifically informed manner of steering society , Spencer was a critic of socialism and an advocate for a laissez - faire style of government . His ideas were highly observed by conservative political circles , especially in the United States and England . Although Spencer 's work is rarely discussed in contemporary sociological theory , his work has been adapted and changed , and resurfaces in various contemporary forms ."

11172,11172,"Agenda - setting theory describes the `` ability ( of the news media ) to influence the importance placed on the topics of the public agenda '' . With agenda setting being a social science theory , it also attempts to make predictions . That is , if a news item is covered frequently and prominently , the audience will regard the issue as more important . Agenda - setting theory was formally developed by Max McCombs and Donald Shaw in a study on the 1968 American presidential election . In the 1968 `` Chapel Hill study '' , McCombs and Shaw demonstrated a strong correlation coefficient ( r > . 9 ) between what 100 residents of Chapel Hill , North Carolina thought was the most important election issue and what the local and national news media reported was the most important issue . By comparing the salience of issues in news content with the public 's perceptions of the most important election issue , McCombs and Shaw were able to determine the degree to which the media determines public opinion . Since the 1968 study , published in a 1972 edition of Public Opinion Quarterly , more than 400 studies have been published on the agenda - setting function of the mass media , and the theory continues to be regarded as relevant . Studies have shown that what the media decides to expose in certain countries correlates with their views on things such as politics , economy and culture . Countries that tend to have more political power are more likely to receive media exposure . Financial resources , technologies , foreign trade and money spent on the military can be some of the main factors that explain coverage inequality ."

11300,11300,"Food shortages in a population are caused either by a lack of food or by difficulties in food distribution ; it may be worsened by natural climate fluctuations and by extreme political conditions related to oppressive government or warfare . The conventional explanation until 1981 for the cause of famines was the Food availability decline ( FAD ) hypothesis . The assumption was that the central cause of all famines was a decline in food availability . However , FAD could not explain why only a certain section of the population such as the agricultural laborer was affected by famines while others were insulated from famines . Based on the studies of some recent famines , the decisive role of FAD has been questioned and it has been suggested that the causal mechanism for precipitating starvation includes many variables other than just decline of food availability . According to this view , famines are a result of entitlements , the theory being proposed is called the `` failure of exchange entitlements '' or FEE . A person may own various commodities that can be exchanged in a market economy for the other commodities he or she needs . The exchange can happen via trading or production or through a combination of the two . These entitlements are called trade - based or production - based entitlements . Per this proposed view , famines are precipitated due to a breakdown in the ability of the person to exchange his entitlements . An example of famines due to FEE is the inability of an agricultural laborer to exchange his primary entitlement , i.e. , labor for rice when his employment became erratic or was completely eliminated ."

11342,11342,"A glowplug ( alternatively spelled as glow plug or glow - plug ) is a heating device used to aid starting diesel engines . In cold weather , high speed diesel engines can be difficult to start because the mass of the cylinder block and cylinder head absorb the heat of compression , preventing ignition ( which relies on that heat ) . Pre-chambered engines use small electric heaters ( glowplugs ) inside the pre-chambers . Direct - injected engines have these glowplugs in the combustion chamber . The glowplug is a pencil - shaped piece of metal with a heating element at the tip . This heating element , when electrified , heats due to its electrical resistance and begins to emit light in the visible spectrum , hence the term glowplug . The visual effect is similar to the heating element in a toaster . The fuel injector spray pattern then impinges directly upon the hot tip of the glow plug during the injection of fuel at top dead center . This ignites the fuel even when the engine is insufficiently hot for normal operation , which reduces the cranking time to start the engine ."

11356,11356,"The history of Chinese Americans or the history of ethnic Chinese in the United States relates to the three major waves of Chinese immigration to the United States with the first beginning in the 19th century . Chinese immigrants in the 19th century worked as laborers , particularly on the transcontinental railroad , such as the Central Pacific Railroad . They also worked as laborers in the mining industry , and suffered racial discrimination at every level of society . While industrial employers were eager to get this new and cheap labor , the ordinary white public was stirred to anger by the presence of this `` yellow peril '' . Despite the provisions for equal treatment of Chinese immigrants in the 1868 Burlingame Treaty , political and labor organizations rallied against the immigration of what they regarded as a degraded race and `` cheap Chinese labor '' . Newspapers condemned the policies of employers , and even church leaders denounced the entrance of these aliens into what was regarded as a land for whites only . So hostile was the opposition that in 1882 the United States Congress eventually passed the Chinese Exclusion Act , which prohibited immigration from China for the next ten years . This law was then extended by the Geary Act in 1892 . The Chinese Exclusion Act was the only U.S. law ever to prevent immigration and naturalization on the basis of race . These laws not only prevented new immigration but also brought additional suffering as they prevented the reunion of the families of thousands of Chinese men already living in the United States ( that is , men who had left China without their wives and children ) ; anti-miscegenation laws in many states prohibited the Chinese men from marrying white women ."

11464,11464,"In 1952 , Governor Luis Muñoz Marín and his administration adopted the Puerto Rican flag which was originally designed in 1892 , and proclaimed it the official flag of Puerto Rico . The official adaptation of the flag has been interpreted by some as a ploy by Muñoz Marin to neutralize the independence movement in his own party . There were some differences between the original flag of 1892 and the one of 1952 and the meaning of the colors was officially changed . Now the white bars stood for the republican form of government , rather than representing the victory and peace that Puerto Ricans were supposed to have after gaining independence . The sky - blue of the triangle in the original flag was changed to dark blue , resembling that of the flag of the United States , to keep it distanced from its revolutionary roots . For nationalist leader Pedro Albizu Campos , having the flag represent the government was a desecration , while the independence party accused the government of `` corrupting beloved symbols '' . In 1995 , the government of Puerto Rico began to use the sky - blue version once more . The government of Puerto Rico issued a regulation in regard to the use of the Puerto Rican flag titled : `` Reglamento sobre el Uso en Puerto Rico de la Bandera del Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico ; Reglamento Núm. 5282 . '' ( Regulations in regard to the use in Puerto Rico of the flag of Commonwealth of Puerto Rico ; Regulation No. 5282 ) . In the regulation 's `` Artículo 2 : Definiciones '' and `` Artículo 2 : Descripción y simbolismo '' ( Article 2 : Description and Article 2 : Description and symbolism ) the government specifies the colors to be used but does not specify any official color tones or shades and as such it is not unusual to see the flag with either tone of blue flown in official settings in Puerto Rico ."

11466,11466,"A volcanic arc is a chain of volcanoes formed above a subducting plate , positioned in an arc shape as seen from above . Offshore volcanoes form islands , resulting in a volcanic island arc . Generally , volcanic arcs result from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate , and often parallel an oceanic trench . The oceanic plate is saturated with water , and volatiles such as water drastically lower the melting point of the mantle . As the oceanic plate is subducted , it is subjected to greater and greater pressures with increasing depth . This pressure squeezes water out of the plate and introduces it to the mantle . Here the mantle melts and forms magma at depth under the overriding plate . The magma ascends to form an arc of volcanoes parallel to the subduction zone ."

11468,11468,"In the 1980s President Ronald Reagan solidified conservative Republican strength with tax cuts , greatly increased defense spending , deregulation , a policy of rolling back communism ( rather than just containing it ) , a greatly strengthened military , and appeals to family values and conservative Judeo - Christian morality . His impact has led historians to call the 1980s the `` Reagan Era '' . The Reagan model remains the conservative standard for social , economic and foreign policy issues . In recent years social issues such as abortion , gun control , and gay marriage have become important .

Sikh leaders started mobilizing meta - commentaries and signs to argue that Punjab belonged to Sikhs and Sikhs belong to Punjab . This began the territorialization of the Sikh community . The term Khalistan was coined by the Sikh leader Dr. Vir Singh Bhatti in March 1940 . He made the case for a Sikh country in the pamphlet Khalistan , published as a response to the Muslim League 's Lahore Resolution . The Muslim League demanded a separate country for Muslims via the Lahore Resolution . His idea was based on the presumption that Pakistan , containing Sikh - inhabited territories , would be formed as an Islamic theocratic state one day , and it would be hostile to Sikhism . A section of Sikh leaders grew concerned that their community would be left without any homeland following the partition of India between the Hindus and the Muslims . They put forward the idea of Khalistan , envisaging it as a theocratic state covering a small part of the greater Punjab region .

Several senators were executed in 552 as a revenge for the death of the Ostrogothic king Totila . After Rome was recaptured by the Imperial ( Byzantine ) army , the Senate was restored , but the institution ( like classical Rome itself ) had been mortally weakened by the long war between the Byzantines and the Ostrogoths . Many senators had been killed and many of those who had fled to the East chose to remain there thanks to favorable legislation passed by emperor Justinian , who however abolished virtually all senatorial offices in Italy .

11524,11524,"Objects on the surface of the Earth have weight , although sometimes this weight is difficult to measure . An example is a small object floating in water , which does not appear to have weight since it is buoyed by the water ; but it is found to have its usual weight when it is added to water in a container which is entirely supported by and weighed on a scale . Thus , the `` weightless object '' floating in water actually transfers its weight to the bottom of the container ( where the pressure increases ) . Similarly , a balloon has mass but may appear to have no weight or even negative weight , due to buoyancy in air . However the weight of the balloon and the gas inside it has merely been transferred to a large area of the Earth 's surface , making the weight difficult to measure . The weight of a flying airplane is similarly distributed to the ground , but does not disappear . If the airplane is in level flight , the same weight - force is distributed to the surface of the Earth as when the plane was on the runway , but spread over a larger area ."

11562,11562,"Émilie du Châtelet ( 1706 -- 1749 ) proposed and tested the hypothesis of the conservation of total energy , as distinct from momentum . Inspired by the theories of Gottfried Leibniz , she repeated and publicized an experiment originally devised by Willem ' s Gravesande in 1722 in which balls were dropped from different heights into a sheet of soft clay . Each ball 's kinetic energy - as indicated by the quantity of material displaced - was shown to be proportional to the square of the velocity . The deformation of the clay was found to be directly proportional to the height the balls were dropped from , equal to the initial potential energy . Earlier workers , including Newton and Voltaire , had all believed that `` energy '' ( so far as they understood the concept at all ) was not distinct from momentum and therefore proportional to velocity . According to this understanding , the deformation of the clay should have been proportional to the square root of the height from which the balls were dropped from . In classical physics the correct formula is E k = 1 2 m v 2 ( \ displaystyle E_ ( k ) = ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ) mv ^ ( 2 ) ) , where E k ( \ displaystyle E_ ( k ) ) is the kinetic energy of an object , m ( \ displaystyle m ) its mass and v ( \ displaystyle v ) its speed . On this basis , Châtelet proposed that energy must always have the same dimensions in any form , which is necessary to be able to relate it in different forms ( kinetic , potential , heat ... ) ."

The first step was the treaty signed by Germany and Italy in October 1936 . Benito Mussolini declared on 1 November that all other European countries would from then on rotate on the Rome -- Berlin axis , thus creating the term `` Axis '' .

By supplying a sufficient amount of bread to the people , the government was able to demonstrate its strong political fitness . Wheaten bread was also thought to be indispensable to one 's well - being after French medical chemists had associated gluten with several nourishing elements in plants . As bread had a high gluten content compared to other cereals , it was given a reputation of being the alimentary ideal . Consequently , consumers became extremely concerned with the quality of their wheaten bread , resulting in a meticulous surveillance of wheaten bread production ; they did not want their bread to contain filler additives such as bran , rye , barley , and legume flour . At the time , bread was the most sought out food as it was considered to be essential , universal , and highly nutritive . It was typical for the average French citizen to believe that it was impossible to overindulge in bread . For many , bread became the centerpiece of every meal . All other foods such as fruits , vegetables , and meats were thought as subsidiary , or ancillary to nourishment ."

He believed a safer , more powerful naval cannon could be designed using more scientific design criteria . Dahlgren guns were designed with a smooth curved shape , equalizing strain and concentrating more weight of metal in the gun breech where the greatest pressure of expanding propellant gases needed to be met to keep the gun from bursting .
