Moth larvae may be killed by freezing the items which they infest for several days at a temperature below −8 °C (18 °F). Despite being notorious for eating clothing, most moth adults do not eat at all. Many, like the Luna, Polyphemus, Atlas, Promethea, cecropia, and other large moths do not have mouth parts.

Vehicle batteries are usually a secondary (rechargeable) battery. Traction batteries are used in forklifts, electric Golf carts, riding floor scrubbers, electric motorcycles, full-size electric cars, trucks, and vans, and other electric vehicles. Batteries for electric vehicles are characterized by their relatively high power-to-weight ratio, energy to weight ratio and energy density; smaller, lighter batteries reduce the weight of the vehicle and improve its performance.", "If the battery is disposable, it will produce electricity until it runs out of reactants (same chemical potential on both electrodes). These batteries only work in one direction, transforming chemical energy to electrical energy. But in other types of batteries, the reaction can be reversed. “You cannot catch and store electricity, but you can store electrical energy in the chemicals inside a battery.”. There are three main components of a battery: two terminals made of different chemicals (typically metals), the anode and the cathode; and the electrolyte, which separates these terminals.", "“A battery is a device that is able to store electrical energy in the form of chemical energy, and convert that energy into electricity,” says Antoine Allanore, a postdoctoral associate at MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering .. “You cannot catch and store electricity, but you can store electrical energy in the chemicals inside a battery.”.

The most severe form of this disorder is known as classic PKU. Infants with classic PKU appear normal until they are a few months old.

In people without PKU, the PAH enzyme breaks down any excess phenylalanine from these sources beyond what is needed by the body.

Midlife crisis is a term first coined by Elliott Jaques referring to a critical phase in human development during the forties to early sixties, based on the character of change points, or periods of transition. The period is said to vary among individuals and between men and women. Those in the early midlife stage are more likely to experience the deaths of loved ones, while declines in physical strength and vitality and impending death or work stoppage are more likely to affect people in late midlife.", "1 The concept of middle age is socially constructed. 2 It came into use as an increasing life span led to new roles at midlife. 3 Middle adulthood is a time of both gains and losses. 4 The span of middle adulthood can be defined chronologically, contextually, or biologically. 1 Middle adulthood is a time of both gains and losses. 2 The span of middle adulthood can be defined chronologically, contextually, or biologically. 3 Most middle-aged people are in good physical, cognitive, and emotional condition. 4 They have heavy responsibilities and multiple roles and feel competent to handle them", "Definition. Midlife transition is a natural stage that happens to many of us at some point (usually at about age 40, give or take 20 years). Midlife transition can include: 1 Discontentment or boredom with life or with the lifestyle (including people and things) that have provided fulfillment for a long time. These feelings at midlife can occur naturally or result from some significant loss or change—such as divorce or the death of a parent. Coming to terms with such loss or change can be difficult enough, but when it is complicated by midlife transition, the process can feel bewildering and overwhelming.", "The researchers found that having a higher BMI at age 50 was associated with earlier onset of Alzheimer's. Additionally, the study authors looked at 191 autopsy results and found that higher BMI in midlife was associated with a higher amount Alzheimer's-related beta amyloid plaque in the brain at the time of death.

Perhaps no other time of life is as plagued with misinformation as middle age. Midlife--the years between 30 and 70, with 40 to 60 at its core--is the least charted territory in human development, psychologist Orville Gilbert Brim, PhD, has written.
