The Shakespeare authorship question asks whether some works said to be William Shakespeare's were actually written by other people.  People who support this view are called "anti-Stratfordians." (Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England.) They say "Shakespeare of Stratford" was a fake name to hide the identity of the real author or authors, who did not want their real names to become public.  Shakespeare's authorship was first questioned in the middle of the 19th century. At that time, there was a widespread view that Shakespeare was the greatest writer of all time.  Many books have been written about this controversy. 80 different candidates for Shakespeare's authorship have been proposed. The most-studied candidates are Francis Bacon, the 6th Earl of Derby, Christopher Marlowe, and the 17th Earl of Oxford. Although this idea has attracted much public interest, all but a few Shakespeare scholars and literary historians consider it a conspiracy theory. Most scholars only mention the theory if they are criticizing it. For example, James Shapiro has written several books criticizing this theory. Arguments. According to some Anti-Stratfordians, the works attributed to Shakespeare show education, aristocratic sensibility, and familiarity with the royal court that Shakespeare did not have. Shakespeare had a simple background, and the known details of his life seem incompatible with his poetic eminence and his reputation for genius, according to anti-Stratfordians.  In response, mainstream Shakespeare scholars have argued that determining authorship based on biographical information is unreliable. They say there is extensive documentary evidence showing that Shakespeare authored his works. This evidence includes title pages, testimony by other contemporary poets and historians, and official records. No direct evidence like this exists for any other candidate. Shakespeare's authorship was never questioned during his lifetime or for centuries after his death. Anti-Stratfordians work for acknowledgment of the authorship question as a legitimate field of scholarly inquiry and for acceptance of one or another of the various authorship candidates.

Nitrogen narcosis is a problem for underwater divers. It affects the brain and nervous system a lot like alcohol, but goes away when the diver rises to a shallower depth. It does not have lasting effects after the depth is reduced. People affected. Any underwater diver who goes deeper than 30 m (100 ft) while breathing air, or any time when the pressure of nitrogen in the breathing gas is more than about 3,2 bar. Prevention. Nitrogen narcosis only happens when the pressure of nitrogen is high. If the pressure is kept low by staying at a shallower depth it will not happen. If the breathing gas has less nitrogen it will only start at a deeper depth. Helium gas can be used in place of nitrogen in breathing gas for divers to make it less likely to get nitrogen narcosis. What actually happens. The nitrogen gas dissolved in the diver affects the working of nerve cells. At higher pressures more nitrogen can be dissolved. It starts off as a mild effect like being slightly drunk, but as the pressure increases it gets more serious, like getting more drunk. Eventually the diver may lose consciousness. Problems. A diver who has nitrogen narcosis will have slower reactions and may not think clearly. If something goes wrong the diver may not be able to cope with the problem. This can be dangerous. Treatment and fix. The diver can move to a shallower depth or change to a different breathing gas with less nitrogen. This will usually be a mixture containing helium.

A stepper motor is an electric motor that is able to create sharp movements. It is used, for example, in printers. They are also commonly found in robots, automotive devices, and computer hard drives. Like other electric motors, they need an electrical circuit to work. Typically they have more than two wires to control them. There are several versions of stepper motors and several ways to drive them. DC motors can be considered using two general categories, stepper motors and servo motors. Servo motors needs a continuous feedback of position to control the state of the motor in order to give the motor specific or desired speed or position. These types of stepper motor are usually more expensive because they required additional circuitry to acquire this constant positional feedback. The other type of generalized motor is called a stepper motor. This stepper motor is commonly used for simple experiments because it is inexpensive. It doesn't require the position of the motor to be known, hence it won't require additional circuitry. A stepper motor turns to a specific positions in using a constant sequence. This sequence can be achieved in multiple ways. Full stepping, half stepping, and micro stepping are ways to achieve a sequence of steps from the motor.  Full stepping with a two phase motor calls for two coils to be alternated simultaneously. This form of stepping will allow the motor to spin, but the angle of that spin will be based upon the step angle. The step angle is equal to the 360 degrees divided by the steps per revolutions. The steps per revolutions are found by the number phases on the stator times the number of permanent magnets available to the motor.
"Bloodletting was the name for a medical practice which affected the health of the person." Blood donation is when a person voluntarily gives blood, which can be used for blood transfusions or to make certain drugs. Blood banks store this blood. The blood can be used to help the victims of accidents, for example. Usually, the blood donor and the donated blood are tested for diseases which spread through the blood.
