Of the 1,271 genes assayed , 882 continued to be expressed in the cyclin - deficient cells at the same time as in the wild type cells , despite the fact that the cyclin - deficient cells arrest at the border between G and S phase .

Cell cycle

Experimental evidence also suggests that gene expression can oscillate with the period seen in dividing wild - type cells independently of the CDK machinery . Orlando et al. used microarrays to measure the expression of a set of 1,271 genes that they identified as periodic in both wild type cells and cells lacking all S - phase and mitotic cyclins ( clb1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ) . Of the 1,271 genes assayed , 882 continued to be expressed in the cyclin - deficient cells at the same time as in the wild type cells , despite the fact that the cyclin - deficient cells arrest at the border between G and S phase . However , 833 of the genes assayed changed behavior between the wild type and mutant cells , indicating that these genes are likely directly or indirectly regulated by the CDK - cyclin machinery . Some genes that continued to be expressed on time in the mutant cells were also expressed at different levels in the mutant and wild type cells . These findings suggest that while the transcriptional network may oscillate independently of the CDK - cyclin oscillator , they are coupled in a manner that requires both to ensure the proper timing of cell cycle events . Other work indicates that phosphorylation , a post-translational modification , of cell cycle transcription factors by Cdk1 may alter the localization or activity of the transcription factors in order to tightly control timing of target genes .

The inner two layers , ( 1 and 2 ) are magnocellular layers , while the outer four layers , ( 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 ) , are parvocellular layers .

Lateral geniculate nucleus

Both the left and right hemisphere of the brain have a lateral geniculate nucleus , named after its resemblance to a bent knee ( genu is Latin for `` knee '' ) . In humans as well as in many other primates , the LGN has layers of magnocellular cells and parvocellular cells that are interleaved with layers of koniocellular cells . In humans the LGN is normally described as having six distinctive layers . The inner two layers , ( 1 and 2 ) are magnocellular layers , while the outer four layers , ( 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 ) , are parvocellular layers . An additional set of neurons , known as the koniocellular layers , are found ventral to each of the magnocellular and parvocellular layers . This layering is variable between primate species , and extra leafleting is variable within species .

The feed let the machine down , requiring the machine to be stopped frequently and reset up .

Sewing machine

A model of the machine is exhibited at the London Science Museum . The machine is made of wood and uses a barbed needle which passes downward through the cloth to grab the thread and pull it up to form a loop to be locked by the next loop . The first American lockstitch sewing machine was invented by Walter Hunt in 1832 . His machine used an eye - pointed needle ( with the eye and the point on the same end ) carrying the upper thread and a falling shuttle carrying the lower thread . The curved needle moved through the fabric horizontally , leaving the loop as it withdrew . The shuttle passed through the loop , interlocking the thread . The feed let the machine down , requiring the machine to be stopped frequently and reset up . Hunt eventually lost interest in his machine and sold individual machines without bothering to patent his invention , and only patenting it at a late date of 1854 . In 1842 , John Greenough patented the first sewing machine in the United States . The British partners Newton and Archibold introduced the eye - pointed needle and the use of two pressing surfaces to keep the pieces of fabric in position , in 1841 .

Allotropes of carbon

Graphite , named by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1789 , from the Greek γράφειν ( graphein , `` to draw / write '' , for its use in pencils ) is one of the most common allotropes of carbon . Unlike diamond , graphite is an electrical conductor . Thus , it can be used in , for instance , electrical arc lamp electrodes . Likewise , under standard conditions , graphite is the most stable form of carbon . Therefore , it is used in thermochemistry as the standard state for defining the heat of formation of carbon compounds .

Electromagnet

Danish scientist Hans Christian Ørsted discovered in 1820 that electric currents create magnetic fields . British scientist William Sturgeon invented the electromagnet in 1824 . His first electromagnet was a horseshoe - shaped piece of iron that was wrapped with about 18 turns of bare copper wire ( insulated wire did n't exist yet ) . The iron was varnished to insulate it from the windings . When a current was passed through the coil , the iron became magnetized and attracted other pieces of iron ; when the current was stopped , it lost magnetization . Sturgeon displayed its power by showing that although it only weighed seven ounces ( roughly 200 grams ) , it could lift nine pounds ( roughly 4 kilos ) when the current of a single - cell battery was applied . However , Sturgeon 's magnets were weak because the uninsulated wire he used could only be wrapped in a single spaced out layer around the core , limiting the number of turns .

Ivan Goncharov in a July 17 , 1878 letter to Pyotr Ganzen advised him to choose for translating into Danish War and Peace , adding : `` This is positively what might be called a Russian Iliad .

War and Peace

Unlike professional literary critics , most prominent Russian writers of the time supported the novel wholeheartedly . Goncharov , Turgenev , Leskov , Dostoyevsky and Fet have all gone on record as declaring War and Peace the masterpiece of the Russian literature . Ivan Goncharov in a July 17 , 1878 letter to Pyotr Ganzen advised him to choose for translating into Danish War and Peace , adding : `` This is positively what might be called a Russian Iliad . Embracing the whole epoch , it is the grandiose literary event , showcasing the gallery of great men painted by a lively brush of the great master ... This is one of the most , if not the most profound literary work ever . In 1879 , unhappy with Ganzen having chosen Anna Karenina to start with , Goncharov insisted : `` War and Peace is the extraordinary poem of a novel , both in content and execution . It also serves as a monument to Russian history 's glorious epoch when whatever figure you take is a colossus , a statue in bronze . Even ( the novel 's ) minor characters carry all the characteristic features of the Russian people and its life . '' In 1885 , expressing satisfaction with the fact that Tolstoy 's works have now been translated into Danish , Goncharov again stressed the immense importance of War and Peace . `` Count Tolstoy really mounts over everybody else here ( in Russia ) '' , he remarked .

Battle of Carthage (1861)

The Battle of Carthage , also known as the Battle of Dry Fork , took place at the beginning of the American Civil War on July 5 , 1861 , in Jasper County , Missouri . The experienced Colonel Franz Sigel commanded 1,100 Federal soldiers intent on keeping Missouri within the Union . The Missouri State Guard was commanded by Governor Claiborne F. Jackson himself and numbered over 4,000 soldiers led by a hero of Mexico , Sterling Price , along with 2,000 unarmed troops who did not participate in the battle . The battle was a strategic victory by the Missouri State Guard in large part owing to new tactics introduced on the battlefield by independent partisan rangers serving with Capt . Jo Shelby . Carthage played a part in determining Missouri 's course during the war , as it helped spark recruitment for the Southern regiments . A founder of the county who fought in the battle and was then elected Lieutenant Colonel of the 13th Missouri Cavalry Regiment and 5th Missouri Infantry , attorney Robert Wells Crawford served as a recruiter for the Confederate Army in Missouri , a post he was nominated for by Waldo P. Johnson , formerly a United States Senator from Missouri in a letter to Missouri governor - in - exile Jackson dated October 24 , 1862 .

In the NBA and FIBA standard , the arc spans the width of the court until it is a specified minimum distance from each sideline .

Three-point field goal

A three - point line consists of an arc at a set radius measured from the point on the floor directly below the center of the basket , and two parallel lines equidistant from each sideline extending from the nearest end line to the point at which they intersect the arc . In the NBA and FIBA standard , the arc spans the width of the court until it is a specified minimum distance from each sideline . The three - point line then becomes parallel to the sidelines from those points to the baseline . The unusual formation of the three - point line at these levels allows players some space from which to attempt a three - point shot at the corners of the court ; the arc would be less than 2 feet ( 0.61 m ) from each sideline at the corners if it was a continuous arc . In the NCAA and American high school standards , the arc spans 180 ° around the basket , then becomes parallel to the sidelines from the plane of the basket center to the baseline ( 5 feet 3 inches or 1.60 metres ) . The distance of the three - point line to the center of the hoop varies by level :

Removing the apical tip and its suppressively acting auxin allows the lower dormant lateral buds to develop , and the buds between the leaf stalk and stem produce new shoots which compete to become the lead growth .

Auxin

An important principle of plant organization based upon auxin distribution is apical dominance , which means the auxin produced by the apical bud ( or growing tip ) diffuses ( and is transported ) downwards and inhibits the development of ulterior lateral bud growth , which would otherwise compete with the apical tip for light and nutrients . Removing the apical tip and its suppressively acting auxin allows the lower dormant lateral buds to develop , and the buds between the leaf stalk and stem produce new shoots which compete to become the lead growth . The process is actually quite complex , because auxin transported downwards from the lead shoot tip has to interact with several other plant hormones ( such as strigolactones or cytokinins ) in the process on various positions along the growth axis in plant body to achieve this phenomenon . This plant behavior is used in pruning by horticulturists .

One reason for the increased popularity of expensive engagement rings is its relationship to human sexuality and the woman 's marriage prospects .

Engagement ring

One reason for the increased popularity of expensive engagement rings is its relationship to human sexuality and the woman 's marriage prospects . In the United States , until the Great Depression , a man who broke off a marriage engagement could be sued for breach of promise . Monetary damages included actual expenses incurred in preparing for the wedding , plus damages for emotional distress and loss of other marriage prospects . Damages were greatly increased if the woman had engaged in sexual intercourse with her fiancé . Beginning in 1935 , these laws were repealed or limited . However , the social and financial cost of a broken engagement was no less : marriage was the only financially sound option for most women , and if she was no longer a virgin , her prospects for a suitable future marriage were greatly decreased . The diamond engagement ring thus became a source of financial security for the woman .

He was the first president not born a British subject , nor of British ancestry . His father , Abraham Van Buren , was a descendant of Cornelis Maessen of the village of Buurmalsen , Netherlands , who had come to North America in 1631 and purchased a plot of land on Manhattan Island . Abraham Van Buren had been a Patriot during the American Revolution , and he later joined the Democratic - Republican Party . Abraham owned and operated an inn and tavern in Kinderhook and served as Kinderhook 's town clerk for several years . In 1776 , Abraham married Maria Hoes ( or Goes ) Van Alen , the widow of Johannes Van Alen . Like Abraham Van Buren , Maria was of Dutch extraction . With Van Alen , Maria had had three children , including future Congressman James I. Van Alen . After their marriage , Abraham and Maria produced five children , including Martin . Unlike every other president before or since , Van Buren spoke English as a second language , and his primary language in his youth was Dutch .

Running mate

The practice of a presidential candidate having a running mate was solidified during the American Civil War . In 1864 , in the interest of fostering national unity , Abraham Lincoln from the Republican Party ( popular in the North ) and Andrew Johnson of the Democratic Party ( popular in the South ) , were co-endorsed and run together for President and Vice-President as candidates of the National Union Party . Notwithstanding this party disbanded after the war ended , with the result that Republican Lincoln was succeeded by Democrat Johnson ; the states began to place candidates for President and Vice-President together on the same ballot ticket - thus making it impossible to vote for a presidential candidate from one party and a vice-presidential candidate from another party , as had previously been possible .

In his review of the 1982 supplement , University of Oxford linguist Roy Harris writes that criticizing the OED is extremely difficult because `` one is dealing not just with a dictionary but with a national institution '' , one that `` has become , like the English monarchy , virtually immune from criticism in principle '' .

Oxford English Dictionary

Despite , and at the same time precisely because of , its claim of authority on the English language , the Oxford English Dictionary has been criticised since at least the 1960s from various angles . It has become a target precisely because of its scope , its claims to authority , its British - centredness and relative neglect of World Englishes , its implied but not acknowledged focus on literary language and , above all , its influence . The OED , as a commercial product , has always had to manoeuvre a thin line between PR , marketing and scholarship and one can argue that its biggest problem is the critical uptake of the work by the interested public . In his review of the 1982 supplement , University of Oxford linguist Roy Harris writes that criticizing the OED is extremely difficult because `` one is dealing not just with a dictionary but with a national institution '' , one that `` has become , like the English monarchy , virtually immune from criticism in principle '' . He further notes that neologisms from respected `` literary '' authors such as Samuel Beckett and Virginia Woolf are included , whereas usage of words in newspapers or other less `` respectable '' sources hold less sway , even though they may be commonly used . He writes that the OED 's `` ( b ) lack - and - white lexicography is also black - and - white in that it takes upon itself to pronounce authoritatively on the rights and wrongs of usage '' , faulting the dictionary 's prescriptive rather than descriptive usage . To Harris , this prescriptive classification of certain usages as `` erroneous '' and the complete omission of various forms and usages cumulatively represent the `` social bias ( es ) '' of the ( presumably well - educated and wealthy ) compilers . However , the identification of `` erroneous and catachrestic '' usages is being removed from third edition entries , sometimes in favour of usage notes describing the attitudes to language which have previously led to these classifications .

Before filming began , they spent a month together , watching Mike Tyson documentaries and going to local restaurants to build character development . `` We 'd hang out with each other all the time , because we were pretty much the only Americans there , and we were able to defend one another and really get to know one another '' , Chalamet said . In the first two days of production , Guadagnino read the script with the cast . Hammer and Chalamet went to the kissing scene during the first rehearsal . The actors rehearsed their scenes every night before filming and spent several days filming nude . `` I 've never been so intimately involved with a director before . Luca was able to look at me and completely undress me '' , Hammer said .

It's All Coming Back to Me Now

A music video was produced for each of the three versions ; death is a recurring theme in all of these videos , fitting in with the suggestion in Virgin 's press release for Original Sin that `` in Steinman 's songs , the dead come to life and the living are doomed to die . '' This is particularly evident when the dead characters seem to be resurrected in the memories of the main vocalist .

The `` bow shaped '' echo is a result of focusing of the strong flow at the rear of the system .

Bow echo

A bow echo is associated with squall lines or lines of convective thunderstorms . These echoes can range in size from 20 to 200 km , and have a life span of 3 to 6 hours . Bow echoes tend to develop when moderate to strong wind shear exists in the lower 2 to 3 km of the atmosphere . While similar to squall lines , bow echoes are smaller in scale and are moved by the wind inside them . They tend to push outward and after time die out . A bow echo also lowers the chance of a tornado being formed in the storm itself . The `` bow shaped '' echo is a result of focusing of the strong flow at the rear of the system . Especially strong bow echoes that cause devastating damage all along the width of the storm are often called derechos .

The pot calling the kettle black

The earliest appearance of the idiom is in Thomas Shelton 's 1620 translation of the Spanish novel Don Quixote . The protagonist is growing increasingly restive under the criticisms of his servant Sancho Panza , of which one is that `` You are like what is said that the frying - pan said to the kettle , ' Avant , black - browes ' . '' The Spanish text at this point reads : Dijo la sartén a la caldera , Quítate allá ojinegra ( Said the pan to the pot , get out of there black - eyes ) . It is identified as a proverb ( refrán ) in the text , functioning as a retort to the person who criticises another of the same defect that he plainly has . Among several variations , the one where the pan addresses the pot as culinegra ( black - arse ) makes clear that they are dirtied in common by contact with the cooking fire .

Fresh water

The source of almost all fresh water is precipitation from the atmosphere , in the form of mist , rain and snow . Fresh water falling as mist , rain or snow contains materials dissolved from the atmosphere and material from the sea and land over which the rain bearing clouds have traveled . In industrialized areas rain is typically acidic because of dissolved oxides of sulfur and nitrogen formed from burning of fossil fuels in cars , factories , trains and aircraft and from the atmospheric emissions of industry . In some cases this acid rain results in pollution of lakes and rivers .

Critics argued that the methodology used for the estimation was fundamentally flawed , showing that applying the same argument for better - understood sensory modalities , such as vision or audition , leads to wrong conclusions . Other researchers have also showed that the result is extremely sensitive to the precise details of the calculation , with small variations changing the result over dozens of orders of magnitude , possibly going as low as a few thousand .

Original sin

The concept of original sin was first alluded to in the 2nd century by Irenaeus , Bishop of Lyon in his controversy with certain dualist Gnostics . Other church fathers such as Augustine also developed the doctrine , seeing it as based on the New Testament teaching of Paul the Apostle ( Romans 5 : 12 -- 21 and 1 Corinthians 15 : 22 ) and the Old Testament verse of Psalms 51 : 5 . Tertullian , Cyprian , Ambrose and Ambrosiaster considered that humanity shares in Adam 's sin , transmitted by human generation . Augustine 's formulation of original sin was popular among Protestant reformers , such as Martin Luther and John Calvin , who equated original sin with concupiscence ( or `` hurtful desire '' ) , affirming that it persisted even after baptism and completely destroyed freedom . The Jansenist movement , which the Catholic Church declared to be heretical , also maintained that original sin destroyed freedom of will .

The present era of cigarette boats , dating from the 1960s , owes much of their design to boats designed for offshore powerboat racing , particularly by designer and builder Donald Aronow .

Go-fast boat

During the era of Prohibition in the United States , these boats joined the ranks of `` rum - runners '' transferring illegal liquor from larger vessels waiting outside U.S. territorial waters to the mainland . The high speed of such craft enabled them to avoid interception by the Coast Guard . More recently the term `` cigarette boat '' has replaced the term `` rum - runner '' . The present era of cigarette boats , dating from the 1960s , owes much of their design to boats designed for offshore powerboat racing , particularly by designer and builder Donald Aronow . During this period , these boats were used by drug smugglers to transfer drugs across the Caribbean to the United States .

Some channels , such as CNBC ( until early 2017 ) , Fox Business Network ( which has stopped doing so ) and Bloomberg Television include a `` paid programming '' bug in a corner of the screen during infomercials , which is especially important for financial products to avoid an exploitation of an `` as seen on '' claim of endorsement by the network .

Infomercial

Because infomercials may sometimes take a sensational tone , and because some of the products and services sold may be of a questionable nature , consumer advocates recommend careful investigation of the sponsor , the product and the claims before making a purchase . To that end , some stations and networks normally run their own disclaimers before , during or after infomercials , stating that in addition to the program being a paid advertisement , the broadcaster bears no responsibility or liability for the infomercial 's content ( the legality of a station or network attempting to absolve itself of liability for a program it airs , while profiting from the same program , has never been tested in court ) . A few stations also encourage viewers to contact their local Better Business Bureau or state or local consumer protection agency to report any questionable products or claims that air on such infomercials . Some channels , such as CNBC ( until early 2017 ) , Fox Business Network ( which has stopped doing so ) and Bloomberg Television include a `` paid programming '' bug in a corner of the screen during infomercials , which is especially important for financial products to avoid an exploitation of an `` as seen on '' claim of endorsement by the network . Other channels , particularly smaller networks such as RFD - TV , have publicly disavowed infomercials and refused to air them ( RFD - TV has since lifted its ban but only airs infomercials in graveyard slots ) .

The drive to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 grew across the country during the 1960s , driven in large part by the broader student activism movement protesting the Vietnam War .

Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution

The Twenty - sixth Amendment ( Amendment XXVI ) to the United States Constitution prohibits the states and the federal government from using age as a reason for denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States who are at least eighteen years old . The drive to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 grew across the country during the 1960s , driven in large part by the broader student activism movement protesting the Vietnam War . The impetus for drafting an amendment to lower the voting age arose following the Supreme Court 's decision in Oregon v. Mitchell , 400 U.S. 112 ( 1970 ) , which held that Congress may establish a voting age for federal elections , but not for local or state elections .

The volcano usually generates Plinian eruptions , which produce swift - moving currents of hot gas and rock called pyroclastic flows .

Nevado del Ruiz

The volcano usually generates Plinian eruptions , which produce swift - moving currents of hot gas and rock called pyroclastic flows . These eruptions often cause massive lahars ( mud and debris flows ) , which pose a threat to human life and the environment . The impact of such an eruption is increased as the hot gas and lava melt the mountain 's snowcap , adding large quantities of water to the flow . On November 13 , 1985 , a small eruption produced an enormous lahar that buried and destroyed the town of Armero in Tolima , causing an estimated 25,000 deaths . This event later became known as the Armero tragedy -- the deadliest lahar in recorded history . Similar but less deadly incidents occurred in 1595 and 1845 , consisting of a small explosive eruption followed by a large lahar .

Archive

Archives located in for - profit institutions are usually those owned by a private business . Examples of prominent business archives in the United States include Coca - Cola ( which also owns the separate museum World of Coca - Cola ) , Procter and Gamble , Motorola Heritage Services and Archives , and Levi Strauss & Co . These corporate archives maintain historic documents and items related to the history and administration of their companies . Business archives serve the purpose of helping their corporations maintain control over their brand by retaining memories of the company 's past . Especially in business archives , records management is separate from the historic aspect of archives . Workers in these types of archives may have any combination of training and degrees , from either a history or library background . These archives are typically not open to the public and only used by workers of the owner company , though some allow approved visitors by appointment . Business archives are concerned with maintaining the integrity of their company , and are therefore selective of how their materials may be used . </P> <H3> Government ( edit ) </H3> Main article : National archives Storage facility at the National Archives and Records Administration , Washington , D.C. <P> Government archives include those maintained by local and state government as well as those maintained by the national ( or federal ) government .

Many Shia Iranians migrated to what is now Iraq in the 16th century . `` It is said that when modern Iraq was formed , some of the population of Karbala was Iranian '' . In time , these immigrants adopted the Arabic language and Arab identity , but their origin has been used to `` unfairly cast them as lackeys of Iran '' . However many of these Shias come from Sayyid families with origins in tribes from Iraq , Lebanon and Bahrain , one of said tribes being al - Musawi , and two prevalent families that are descended from it and lived in Iran for some time before settling in Iraq are the al - Qazwini and al - Shahristani families . Other Iraqi Shias are ethnic Arabs with roots in Iraq as deep as those of their Sunni counterparts .

So , both the earth and winds around a low - pressure area rotate counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere , and clockwise in the southern .

High-pressure area

A simple rule is that for high - pressure areas , where generally air flows from the center outward , the coriolis force given by the earth 's rotation to the air circulation is in the opposite direction of earth 's apparent rotation if viewed from above the hemisphere 's pole . So , both the earth and winds around a low - pressure area rotate counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere , and clockwise in the southern . The opposite to these two cases occurs in the case of a high . These results derive from the Coriolis effect ; that article explains in detail the physics , and provides an animation of a model to aid understanding .

Bony fishes , class Osteichthyes , are characterised by bony skeleton rather than cartilage . They appeared in the late Silurian , about 419 million years ago . The recent discovery of Entelognathus strongly suggests that bony fishes ( and possibly cartilaginous fishes , via acanthodians ) evolved from early placoderms . A subclass of the Osteichthyes , the ray - finned fishes ( Actinopterygii ) , have become the dominant group of fishes in the post-Paleozoic and modern world , with some 30,000 living species .
