A thermostat is a sensor that keeps a heating system near to a desired temperature or setpoint. It is a control system. The thermostat works by switching heating or cooling devices on or off. This is what happens in a central heating system or an air conditioner. In some systems, it works by switching a 'heat transfer fluid' off or on as needed to keep the set temperature. The name is derived from the Greek words "thermos" "hot" and "statos" "a standing". The simplest kind of thermostat is a bimetal strip which bends as the temperature rises, and at a set point breaks the circuit of an electrical current. Kitchen toasters use this kind of thermostat. Because they control a system, thermostats are examples of feedback devices that maintain a steady local environment against temperature changes outside the outside world. In cybernetics, the thermostat is an example of a machine that uses feedback to maintain the stability of a heating system. Thermostats can be either line voltage or low voltage thermostats. Line voltage thermostats have regular 120 volt and 220~240 volt power going to them and low voltage thermostats have 24 volts powering them from a transformer. With the advancement of technology, wireless thermostats based on WiFi or Zigbee protocols are also emerging and moving towards intelligence.

An ORCID is a code to identify someone who writes academic articles. ORCID stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID. Each person can have their own ORCID. ORCIDs make it easy to know which articles someone has written, even if they change their name. They also helps tell who has written which articles, if there is more than one writer with the same name. ORCID was started on 16 October 2012. ORCIDs usually have four groups of four numbers. An example of a person with an ORCID is John Wilbanks. His ORCID is https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4510-0385. That is also the web address of the page about him, on the ORCID website. His ORCID can also be written as "ORCID: 0000-0002-4510-0385". Sometimes an ORCID has an "X" instead of a number at the end. An example of this is Nick Jennings's ORCID. His is https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0166-248X. The final number (or "X") is a check digit.

The test results are regarded as 'significant' if there is only one chance in 20 that the result could be got by chance. Groups. There are three main groups of tests:
Probability theory talks about events which occur with a given (possibly unknown) probability. Sometimes, when it talks about several events occurring, it assumes that if one event occurs, this does not change the probability of the other events occurring.  More specifically, two events formula_1 and formula_2 are called independent (written as formula_3), if the probability of formula_1 occurring is the same whether formula_2 is assumed to have occurred or not. Alternatively, formula_1 and formula_2 are independent precisely when the probability of them occurring together is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. Abraham de Moivre wrote: "Two events are independent, when they have no connexion one with the other, and that the happening of one neither forwards nor obstructs the happening of the other."
Abraham de Moivre was a French mathematician. He is known for his works on probability theory. He also did a lot of research in trigonometry.De Moivre's formula connects complex numbers and trigonometry. As he was a Huguenot, he was forced to emigrate to England. He was a friend of Isaac Newton, Edmund Halley, and James Stirling. Among his fellow Huguenot exiles in England, he was a colleague of the editor and translator Pierre des Maizeaux. De Moivre wrote a book on probability theory, "The Doctrine of Chances", said to have been prized by gamblers. De Moivre first discovered Binet's formula, the closed-form expression for Fibonacci numbers linking the "n"th power of the golden ratio "φ" to the "n"th Fibonacci number.

The Viverravidae are an extinct family of early mammalian carnivores. They are in the superfamily Miacoidea, and lived from the early Palaeocene to the Eocene. They first appeared in the Paleocene of North America about 60 million years ago. Viverravidae is a monophyletic family. In viverravids, the number of molars is reduced to two and the skull is long.  They are probably not related to any living carnivorans. The viverravids were previously thought to be the earliest carnivorans. A recent study of their skull morphology puts them outside the order Carnivora.

The system grew in stages as the Commons grew in power and the monarch's authority dwindled.
The Seven Summits are the highest mountains on each of the seven continents. The list is usually Mount Everest (Asia), Aconcagua (South America), Puncak Jaya (Oceania), Mount Elbrus (Europe), Mount Vinson (Antarctica), Kilimanjaro (Africa), and Denali (North America). Sometimes the list is different, but most of the mountains stay the same. It depends on the definition for each continent. For example, some lists use the continent of Australia, not Oceania. The highest mountain in Australia is Mount Kosciuszko not Puncak Jaya (which is in the country of Indonesia). Other lists change the border of Europe, so the highest mountain is Mont Blanc (in France) not Mount Elbrus (in Russia).
