The school 's nickname , `` Zips '' , is a shortening of `` Zippers '' , a pair of rubber overshoes and a brand name of the BF Goodrich Company of Akron . It was originally adopted by the school in 1925 after a contest to give the school a nickname . `` Kangaroos '' was one of the choices at the time . In 1950 , the current nickname was adopted because of the rising popularity of zippers in use on pants . Two years later , a committee suggested the kangaroo as a mascot , and it was accepted by the student council on May 1 , 1953 . Originally , it was met with derision , as it was not put to a campuswide vote . However , over time , Zippy has become a fan favorite at the school . | where did the akron zips get their name | a shortening of `` Zippers '' , a pair of rubber overshoes and a brand name of the BF Goodrich Company of Akron |

Supernova nucleosynthesis is a theory of the production of many different chemical elements in supernova explosions , first advanced by Fred Hoyle in 1954 . The nucleosynthesis , or fusion of lighter elements into heavier ones , occurs during explosive oxygen burning and silicon burning processes . Those fusion reactions create the elements silicon , sulfur , chlorine , argon , sodium , potassium , calcium , scandium , titanium and iron peak elements : vanadium , chromium , manganese , iron , cobalt , and nickel . These are called `` primary elements '' , in that they can be fused from pure hydrogen and helium in massive stars . As a result of their ejection from supernovae , their abundances increase within the interstellar medium . Elements heavier than nickel are created primarily by a rapid capture of neutrons in a process called the r - process . However , these are much less abundant than the primary chemical elements . Other processes are thought to be responsible for some nucleosynthesis of other such heavy elements , notably , the proton capture process known as the rp - process and a photodisintegration process known as the gamma ( or p ) process . The latter synthesizes the lightest , most neutron - poor , isotopes of the heavy elements . | where are the lighter elements created the heavier ones | during explosive oxygen burning and silicon burning processes |
Gastric acid , gastric juice or stomach acid , is a digestive fluid formed in the stomach and is composed of hydrochloric acid ( HCl ) , potassium chloride ( KCl ) and sodium chloride ( NaCl ) . The acid plays a key role in digestion of proteins , by activating digestive enzymes , and making ingested proteins unravel so that digestive enzymes break down the long chains of amino acids . Gastric acid is produced by cells in the lining of the stomach , which are coupled in feedback systems to increase acid production when needed . Other cells in the stomach produce bicarbonate , a base , to buffer the fluid , ensuring that it does not become too acidic . These cells also produce mucus , which forms a viscous physical barrier to prevent gastric acid from damaging the stomach . The pancreas further produces large amounts of bicarbonate and secretes bicarbonate through the pancreatic duct to the duodenum to completely neutralize any gastric acid that passes further down into the digestive tract . | what is the role of hcl in your stomach | digestion of proteins , by activating digestive enzymes , and making ingested proteins unravel so that digestive enzymes break down the long chains of amino acids |

Except for the 30th Anniversary Special , which was taped at Harrah 's Rio in Las Vegas , Nevada , The Price Is Right has been taped in Studio 33 in CBS Television City in Hollywood , California for its entire run . The studio , which is also used for other television productions , was renamed the Bob Barker Studio in the host 's honor on the ceremonial 5,000 th episode taped in March 1998 . When Carey became host , there was talk of the show traveling in the future . The program is usually produced in about an hour , although if there is a guest involved , some tapings will last longer because of question and answer sessions by the audience and the guest , which the host usually moderates . Two episodes are usually taped each day , normally with three taping days per week ( Monday through Wednesday , with one episode taped at 12 : 00 pm and another at 4 : 00 pm ) . The program is taped in advance of its airdate . For example , the show broadcast on February 28 , 2008 was taped on January 16 . As with many other shows that start production in the summer , the lead time varies during the season , as many as fifteen weeks to as little as one day . The audience is entertained by the announcer before taping begins and in case of guests , the guest will answer questions from the audience . After the taping session , there is a drawing for a door prize . On some episodes , all members of the audience receive a prize from a sponsor or celebrity guest ; those prizes are usually mentioned in the Showcase ( such as a complimentary slice of Papa John 's Pizza , an NHL Winter Classic game puck , a couples ' gift box from Hershey 's or a book authored by a guest ) . Television and Internet viewers have also been directed to the show 's official website to enter a drawing for a similar prize offered to all viewers or another prize related to the special offer ( such as the Rock of Ages signed CD ) . Some episodes are taped `` out - of - order '' so that a specific episode will air after other episodes have aired . Notably , the Christmas Week episodes are usually taped in early December outside of the regular rotation . An episode may be taped out - of - order if a prize package reflects a trip to an event that is taking place close to the date that episode will air ( primarily with CBS properties such as the Academy of Country Music Awards , NCAA Men 's Division I Basketball Championship , and various NFL on CBS games , most notably CBS Super Bowl years since Carey took over , but other games are offered ) . Other episodes may be aired out - of - order because of game - related incidents or situations beyond the network 's control . Most episodes which have aired out of order have occurred when the show is taped far in advance , but in the time between the show taping and its airdate , a natural disaster took place at the trip venue . This happened in June 2005 with episodes that featured trips to New Orleans ( which was later struck by Hurricane Katrina ) , with airdates moved to May and June 2006 and again in April 2010 with episodes that featured trips to Nashville , Tennessee ( due to the May 2010 Tennessee floods ) , with airdates moved to September 2010 . | when do they film the price is right | Monday through Wednesday , with one episode taped at 12 : 00 pm and another at 4 : 00 pm |

Matrilineality is the tracing of descent through the female line . It may also correlate with a societal system in which each person is identified with their matriline -- their mother 's lineage -- and which can involve the inheritance of property and / or titles . A matriline is a line of descent from a female ancestor to a descendant ( of either sex ) in which the individuals in all intervening generations are mothers -- in other words , a `` mother line '' . In a matrilineal descent system , an individual is considered to belong to the same descent group as her or his mother . This matrilineal descent pattern is in contrast to the more common pattern of patrilineal descent from which a family name is usually derived . The matriline of historical nobility was also called her or his enatic or uterine ancestry , corresponding to the patrilineal or `` agnatic '' ancestry . | kinship traced through the mother's family is called what kind of descent | matrilineal |

The elections for the 296 seats assigned to the British Indian provinces were completed by August 1946 . Congress won 208 seats , and the Muslim League 73 . After this election , the Muslim League refused to cooperate with the Congress , and the political situation deteriorated . Hindu - Muslim riots began , and the Muslim League demanded a separate constituent assembly for Muslims in India . On 3 June 1947 Lord Mountbatten , the last British Governor - General of India , announced his intention to scrap the Cabinet Mission Plan ; this culminated in the Indian Independence Act 1947 and the separate nations of India and Pakistan . The Indian Independence Act was passed on 18 July 1947 and , although it was earlier declared that India would become independent in June 1948 , this event led to independence on 15 August 1947 . The Constituent Assembly ( elected for an undivided India ) met for the first time on 9 December 1946 , reassembling on 14 August 1947 as a sovereign body and successor to the British parliament 's authority in India . As a result of the partition , under the Mountbatten plan a separate constituent assembly was established in Pakistan on 3 June 1947 . The representatives of the areas incorporated into Pakistan ceased to be members of the Constituent Assembly of India . New elections were held for the West Punjab and East Bengal ( which became part of Pakistan , although East Bengal later seceded to become Bangladesh ) ; the membership of the Constituent Assembly was 299 after the reorganization , and it met on 31 December 1947 . | when did the constituent assembly become a sovereign body | 14 August 1947 |

The Nazis 's violent rise is a powerful , ever - present undercurrent in the film . Their progress can be tracked through the characters ' changing actions and attitudes . While in the beginning of the film National Socialist members are sometimes harassed and even kicked out of the Kit Kat Klub , the final shot of the film shows the cabaret 's audience is dominated by Nazi party members . The rise of the Nazis is also dramatically demonstrated in the rural beer garden scene . In a sunlit outdoor setting a boy -- only his face seen -- sings to a relaxed audience of all ages what at first seem mild lyrics ( `` Tomorrow Belongs To Me '' ) about the beauties of nature and youth . The camera shifts to show that the singer is wearing a brown Hitler Youth uniform . He lifts his hand in the Nazi salute . One by one , nearly all the adults and young people watching are induced to rise and join in the singing and saluting , the gentle a capella ballad gradually transforming to a harsh and militant anthem . Max and Brian return to their car after witnessing this show of growing support for the National Socialist movement , Brian asking Max , `` Do you still think you can control them ? '' Later , Brian 's one - man confrontation with a Nazi in the street is a futile gesture , leading to nothing but him being beaten up . | who sings tomorrow belongs to me in cabaret | a boy |
If measured from the ocean floor , it is at 7,500 m ( 24,600 ft ) the highest volcano in the world base - to - peak outside of the Hawaiian Islands , and is described by UNESCO and NASA as Earth 's third - tallest volcanic structure .

The lysosomes also act as the waste disposal system of the cell by digesting unwanted materials in the cytoplasm , both from outside the cell and obsolete components inside the cell . Material from outside the cell is taken - up through endocytosis , while material from the inside of the cell is digested through autophagy . Their sizes can be very different -- the biggest ones can be more than 10 times bigger than the smallest ones . They were discovered and named by Belgian biologist Christian de Duve , who eventually received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1974 . | the process of lysosomes digesting materials is called | endocytosis |

Stephen Louis Dalkowski Jr. ( born June 3 , 1939 ) , nicknamed Dalko , is an American retired left - handed pitcher . He is sometimes called the fastest pitcher in baseball history and had a fastball that probably exceeded 100 mph ( 160 km / h ) . Some experts believed it went as fast as 125 mph ( 201 km / h ) , others that his pitches traveled at 120 mph ( 190 km / h ) or less . As no radar gun or other device was available at games to measure the speed of his pitches precisely , the actual top speed of his pitches remains unknown . Regardless of its actual speed , his fastball earned him the nickname `` White Lightning '' . Such was his reputation that despite never reaching the major leagues , and finishing his minor league years in class - B ball , the 1966 Sporting News item about the end of his career was headlined `` LIVING LEGEND RELEASED .

`` Girl on Fire '' is a midtempo R&B and hip hop song written by Keys , Jeff Bhasker , Salaam Remi and American rock guitarist Billy Squier . Squier earns a writing credit for the inclusion of an interpolation of the drums from his 1980 song `` The Big Beat '' . Composed on the key of A major , `` Girl on Fire '' uses common time and is set to a `` heavy beat '' at a tempo of 93 beats per minute . Keys ' vocals range in the song over an octave from a low note of C ♯ up to a high note of E. On the main single , Keys opens the songs with the lyrics `` She got both feet on the ground and she 's burning it down . She got her head in the clouds and she 's not backing down . This girl is on fire ! '' Keys ' lyrics centre around toasting the `` achievements of women everywhere '' , particularly with the hook `` She 's just a girl and she 's on fire '' , which according to MTV 's Rob Markman is delivered with a `` calming - yet - commanding wail '' . Markman also spoke of the pace of the song , describing it as `` pulsating '' . LA Time 's Gerrick Kennedy expanded further describing the songs components as `` a fierce battlecry over a fast - building simplistic hook '' . Critics likened `` Girl on Fire '' to Keys ' previous singles `` No One '' ( 2007 ) and `` Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart '' ( 2009 ) . Throwing `` If I Ai n't Got You '' ( 2004 ) into the list of comparisons , Erin Thompson from Seattle Weekly said `` Girl on Fire '' compares to previous Keys ' ballads with its `` quiet , unassuming verses leading into big , empathic choruses .

A population bottleneck or genetic bottleneck is a sharp reduction in the size of a population due to environmental events ( such as earthquakes , floods , fires , disease , or droughts ) or human activities ( such as genocide ) . Such events can reduce the variation in the gene pool of a population ; thereafter , a smaller population , with a correspondingly smaller genetic diversity , remains to pass on genes to future generations of offspring through sexual reproduction . Genetic diversity remains lower , increasing only when gene flow with another population occurs or very slowly increasing with time as random mutations occur . As a consequence of such population size reductions and the loss of genetic variation , the robustness of the population is reduced and its ability to adapt to and survive selecting environmental changes , like climate change or a shift in available resources , is reduced . Alternatively , if by chance survivors of the bottleneck are the individuals with the greatest genetic fitness , the frequency of the fitter genes within the gene pool is increased , while the pool itself is reduced . | loss of diversity in a reduced population is called | population bottleneck |

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 . | who discovered that all organisms are made of cells | Robert Hooke |
The Aswan Dam , or more specifically since the 1960s , the Aswan High Dam , is an embankment dam built across the Nile in Aswan , Egypt , between 1960 and 1970 . Its significance largely eclipsed the previous Aswan Low Dam initially completed in 1902 downstream . Based on the success of the Low Dam , then at its maximum utilization , construction of the High Dam became a key objective of the government following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 ; with its ability to control flooding better , provide increased water storage for irrigation and generate hydroelectricity the dam was seen as pivotal to Egypt 's planned industrialization . Like the earlier implementation , the High Dam has had a significant effect on the economy and culture of Egypt . | benefits of the aswan high dam in egypt | ability to control flooding better |

For the 1968 film , six cars were created , including a fully functional road - going car with UK registration GEN 11 . This car was designed by the film 's production designer , Ken Adam , and cartoonist and sculptor Frederick Rowland Emett , built by Alan Mann Racing in Hertfordshire in 1967 , fitted with a Ford 3000 V6 engine and automatic transmission and allocated a genuine UK registration . This car was privately owned by Pierre Picton of Stratford - upon - Avon from the early 1970s until May 2011 . Actor Dick van Dyke , who drove the car in the film , said that `` the car was a little difficult to maneuver , with the turning radius of a battleship '' . Public appearances of the car in 2010 are listed on the GEN 11 official website , with a note that there will be no more as the car was sent to Los Angeles , USA , to be auctioned on 22 May 2011 . The auction price was expected to reach US $ 1 -- 2m , but capped at $805,000 ( £ 495,415 ) with the winning bidder New Zealand film director Sir Peter Jackson , who according to his spokesperson said he would use it as a charity fund - raising vehicle . It is registered in New Zealand as GEN 1I , as the registration GEN 11 had already been issued . | where was chitty chitty bang bang car made | Hertfordshire |
