This principle was formulated by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925 for electrons , and later extended to all fermions with his spin - statistics theorem of 1940 .

Pauli exclusion principle

The Pauli exclusion principle is the quantum mechanical principle which states that two or more identical fermions ( particles with half - integer spin ) can not occupy the same quantum state within a quantum system simultaneously . In the case of electrons in atoms , it can be stated as follows : it is impossible for two electrons of a poly - electron atom to have the same values of the four quantum numbers : n , the principal quantum number , l , the angular momentum quantum number , m , the magnetic quantum number , and m , the spin quantum number . For example , if two electrons reside in the same orbital , and if their n , l , and m values are the same , then their m must be different , and thus the electrons must have opposite half - integer spins of 1 / 2 and − 1 / 2 . This principle was formulated by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925 for electrons , and later extended to all fermions with his spin - statistics theorem of 1940 .

The minimum age to obtain a restricted driver 's license in the United States varies from 14 years , three months in South Dakota to as high as 17 in New Jersey .

Driver's licenses in the United States

The minimum age to obtain a restricted driver 's license in the United States varies from 14 years , three months in South Dakota to as high as 17 in New Jersey . In most states , with the exception of South Dakota , a graduated licensing law applies to newly licensed teenage drivers , going by names such as Provisional Driver , Junior Operator , Probationary Driver , or Intermediate License . These licenses restrict certain driving privileges , such as whether the new driver may carry passengers and if so how many , as well as setting a curfew for young drivers to be off the roads . For example , Utah drivers who are under 18 may not drive other people outside the family in their first six months with a license . Unlike in some states of Australia and some provinces of Canada , however , graduated licensing laws do not require lowered speed limits , displaying of L and P plates , restrictions on towing a trailer or boat , or prohibitions on highway driving or operating high performance cars .

Most of the earth 's carbon is stored inertly in the earth 's lithosphere .

Carbon cycle

Most of the earth 's carbon is stored inertly in the earth 's lithosphere . Much of the carbon stored in the earth 's mantle was stored there when the earth formed . Some of it was deposited in the form of organic carbon from the biosphere . Of the carbon stored in the geosphere , about 80 % is limestone and its derivatives , which form from the sedimentation of calcium carbonate stored in the shells of marine organisms . The remaining 20 % is stored as kerogens formed through the sedimentation and burial of terrestrial organisms under high heat and pressure . Organic carbon stored in the geosphere can remain there for millions of years .

The Prime Minister Purnananda Burhagohain tried his best to reestablish Ahom rule over the region .

Burmese invasions of Assam

In the later part of 18th century , the Ahom Kingdom in Assam was wreaked by series of rebellions . The Moamoria rebellion in Upper Assam and the Dundiya rebellion in Western Assam severely weakened the Ahom Kingdom due to loss of lives and property . The Prime Minister Purnananda Burhagohain tried his best to reestablish Ahom rule over the region . With great efforts , he finally suppressed all the rebellions , and firmly established the royal authority over the kingdom . For smooth functioning of administration or to consolidate his power , he appointed all his relatives in high posts of Ahom Kingdom . Badan Chandra Borphukan , the governor of Guwahati , was anxious of the growing power of Purnananda Burhagohain . At first , he tried to make friendship with Purnananda Burhagohain . He gave his daughter Pijou Gabhoru to Purnananda 's son , Urekhanath Dhekial Phukan along with a huge amount of gold ornaments and utensils as dowry . The move backfired when Purnananda Burhagohain expressed his displeasure and suspected Badan Chandra Borphukan of misusing his office . Angered by the behaviour of Purnananda Burhagohain , Badan Chandra Borphukan encouraged conspirators in the capital Jorhat with the aim to assassinate Purnananda Burhagohain . The conspiracy failed and the conspirators were punished . The alleged link of Badan Chandra Borphukan with the conspirators got revealed . Meanwhile the people of Western Assam , complained Burhagohain about the atrocities committed by Badan Chandra Borphukan and his two sons , Janmi and Piyoli . Finally in 1815 CE , Purnananda Burhagohain decided to act and he send a deputation with orders to arrest Badan Chandra Borphukan and bring him to the capital Jorhat for justice . Pijou Gabhoru , the daughter - in - law of Purnananda Burhagohain , who was also the daughter of Badan Chandra Borphukan , send an early message to her father , warning him of the impending danger . Warned by his daughter , Badan Chandra Borphukan escaped to Bengal , which was under British rule . Burhagohain 's men caught him at Chilmari in Bengal , but he again escaped with the help of local Thanedar or Police officer . He went to Calcutta and visited the Governor General Lord Hastings with the plea for help to oust Purnananda Burhagohain . The Governor - General declined his plea stating their Policy of Non-interference in the internal matter of another kingdom . Around that time , Badan Chandra Borphukan met the envoy of Burmese King Bodawpaya , who was on a visit at Calcutta . The envoy , after hearing his plea took him to Burma and fixed an appointment with Bodawpaya .

I Will Always Love You

In 1992 , R&B singer Whitney Houston recorded a new arrangement of `` I Will Always Love You '' for the soundtrack to The Bodyguard , her film debut . She was originally to record Jimmy Ruffin 's `` What Becomes of the Brokenhearted '' as the lead single from The Bodyguard . However , when it was discovered the song was to be used for Fried Green Tomatoes , Houston requested a different song . It was her co-star Kevin Costner who suggested `` I Will Always Love You '' , playing her Linda Ronstadt 's 1975 version from her album Prisoner in Disguise . Producer David Foster re-arranged the song as an R&B ballad . Her record company did not feel a song with an a cappella introduction would be as successful ; however , Houston and Costner insisted on retaining it . When Parton heard that Houston was using Ronstadt 's recording as a template , she called Foster to give him the final verse , which was missing from the Ronstadt recording , as she felt it was important to the song . The tenor saxophone solo was played by Kirk Whalum . Whitney Houston 's recording is not the only version of the song featured in the movie . In a scene where she dances with Kevin Costner , a version by John Doe can be heard playing on a jukebox .

They later learned that Katzenberg intended that if Disney were to make a film with Pixar , it would be outside Schneider 's purview , which aggravated Schneider .

Toy Story

Both sides were willing . Catmull and fellow Pixar co-founder Alvy Ray Smith had long wanted to produce a computer - animated feature . In addition , Disney had licensed Pixar 's Computer Animation Production System ( CAPS ) , and that made it the largest customer for Pixar 's computers . Jobs made it apparent to Katzenberg that although Disney was happy with Pixar , it was not the other way around : `` We want to do a film with you , '' said Jobs . `` That would make us happy . '' At this same time , Peter Schneider , president of Walt Disney Feature Animation , was potentially interested in making a feature film with Pixar . When Catmull , Smith and head of animation Ralph Guggenheim met with Schneider in the summer of 1990 , they found the atmosphere to be puzzling and contentious . They later learned that Katzenberg intended that if Disney were to make a film with Pixar , it would be outside Schneider 's purview , which aggravated Schneider . After that first meeting , the Pixar contingent went home with low expectations and was surprised when Katzenberg called for another conference . Catmull , Smith , and Guggenheim were joined by Bill Reeves ( head of animation research and development ) , Jobs , and Lasseter . They brought with them an idea for a half - hour television special called A Tin Toy Christmas . They reasoned that a television program would be a sensible way to gain experience before tackling a feature film .

Internet protocol suite

The Internet protocol suite resulted from research and development conducted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) in the late 1960s . After initiating the pioneering ARPANET in 1969 , DARPA started work on a number of other data transmission technologies . In 1972 , Robert E. Kahn joined the DARPA Information Processing Technology Office , where he worked on both satellite packet networks and ground - based radio packet networks , and recognized the value of being able to communicate across both . In the spring of 1973 , Vinton Cerf , the developer of the existing ARPANET Network Control Program ( NCP ) protocol , joined Kahn to work on open - architecture interconnection models with the goal of designing the next protocol generation for the ARPANET .

Rayleigh waves , also called ground roll , are surface waves that travel as ripples with motions that are similar to those of waves on the surface of water ( note , however , that the associated particle motion at shallow depths is retrograde , and that the restoring force in Rayleigh and in other seismic waves is elastic , not gravitational as for water waves ) .

Seismic wave

Rayleigh waves , also called ground roll , are surface waves that travel as ripples with motions that are similar to those of waves on the surface of water ( note , however , that the associated particle motion at shallow depths is retrograde , and that the restoring force in Rayleigh and in other seismic waves is elastic , not gravitational as for water waves ) . The existence of these waves was predicted by John William Strutt , Lord Rayleigh , in 1885 . They are slower than body waves , roughly 90 % of the velocity of S waves for typical homogeneous elastic media . In the layered medium ( like the crust and upper mantle ) the velocity of the Rayleigh waves depends on their frequency and wavelength . See also Lamb waves .

Empiricism

Charles Peirce ( 1839 -- 1914 ) was highly influential in laying the groundwork for today 's empirical scientific method . Although Peirce severely criticized many elements of Descartes ' peculiar brand of rationalism , he did not reject rationalism outright . Indeed , he concurred with the main ideas of rationalism , most importantly the idea that rational concepts can be meaningful and the idea that rational concepts necessarily go beyond the data given by empirical observation . In later years he even emphasized the concept - driven side of the then ongoing debate between strict empiricism and strict rationalism , in part to counterbalance the excesses to which some of his cohorts had taken pragmatism under the `` data - driven '' strict - empiricist view .

In British English this usage has been considered obsolete for many years , and in US English , although it persisted for longer , it is now considered archaic as well .

Diaeresis (diacritic)

The diaeresis indicates that two adjoining letters that would normally form a digraph and be pronounced as one are instead to be read as separate vowels in two syllables . The diaeresis indicates that a vowel should be pronounced apart from the letter that precedes it . For example , in the spelling coöperate , the diaeresis reminds the reader that the word has four syllables co-op - er - ate , not three , * coop - er - ate . In British English this usage has been considered obsolete for many years , and in US English , although it persisted for longer , it is now considered archaic as well . Nevertheless , it is still used by the US magazine The New Yorker . In English language texts it is perhaps most familiar in the spellings naïve , Noël , and Chloë , and is also used officially in the name of the island Teän . Languages such as Dutch , Catalan , French , Galician and Spanish make regular use of the diaeresis .

The reason for this is that a third carrier is involved , typically in the case that the airline originally planning to operate the flight needs to hire a subcontractor to operate the flight on their behalf ( typically a wet lease , meaning an aircraft is leased with crew and all facilities to fly , commonly due to capacity limitations , technical problems etc . ) In this case , the airline carrying the passenger should be designated the operating carrier , since it is the one carrying the passengers / cargo .

Heat fluxes are negatively correlated with rock age , with the highest heat fluxes from the youngest rock at mid-ocean ridge spreading centers ( zones of mantle upwelling ) , as observed in the global map of Earth heat flow .

Earth's internal heat budget

Earth heat transport occurs by conduction , mantle convection , hydrothermal convection , and volcanic advection . Earth 's internal heat flow to the surface is thought to be 80 % due to mantle convection , with the remaining heat mostly originating in the Earth 's crust , with about 1 % due to volcanic activity , earthquakes , and mountain building . Thus , about 99 % of Earth 's internal heat loss at the surface is by conduction through the crust , and mantle convection is the dominant control on heat transport from deep within the Earth . Most of the heat flow from the thicker continental crust is attributed to internal radiogenic sources , in contrast the thinner oceanic crust has only 2 % internal radiogenic heat . The remaining heat flow at the surface would be due to basal heating of the crust from mantle convection . Heat fluxes are negatively correlated with rock age , with the highest heat fluxes from the youngest rock at mid-ocean ridge spreading centers ( zones of mantle upwelling ) , as observed in the global map of Earth heat flow .

Borg (Star Trek)

In the Voyager finale , `` Endgame '' , an elderly Admiral Janeway from the future travels back in time , to aid in Voyager 's return to the Alpha Quadrant through the use of a Borg transwarp hub . This hub is one of six such structures scattered across the galaxy , which allow Borg ships to traverse galactic distances in mere minutes . The future Janeway uses the hub and travels to Unicomplex 1 , the primary control center of the Borg and the residence of the Queen . She deliberately infects herself with a neurolytic pathogen , and when she was assimilated , the pathogen rapidly spreads and infects a majority of the collective and kills the Queen . With the Queen dead , the hive mind is fractured and Borg technology ceases to adapt to weapons fire . Without the adaptations against transphasic torpedoes , Voyager fires the torpedoes at the transwarp conduits holding the transwarp network together and they are easily destroyed . On the way , a Borg sphere pursues and captures Voyager , but upon arrival at Earth , it is destroyed from the inside by Voyager 's transphasic torpedo .

Specialized transmembrane proteins recognize the substance and allow it to move across the membrane when it otherwise would not , either because the phospholipid bilayer of the membrane is impermeable to the substance moved or because the substance is moved against the direction of its concentration gradient .

Active transport

Specialized transmembrane proteins recognize the substance and allow it to move across the membrane when it otherwise would not , either because the phospholipid bilayer of the membrane is impermeable to the substance moved or because the substance is moved against the direction of its concentration gradient . There are two forms of active transport , primary active transport and secondary active transport . In primary active transport , the proteins involved are pumps that normally use the chemical energy in the form of ATP . Secondary active transport , however , makes use of potential energy , which is usually derived through exploitation of an electrochemical gradient . The energy created from one ion moving down its electrochemical gradient is used to power the transport of another ion moving against its electrochemical gradient . This involves pore - forming proteins that form channels across the cell membrane . The difference between passive transport and active transport is that the active transport requires energy , and moves substances against their respective concentration gradient , whereas passive transport requires no energy and moves substances in the direction of their respective concentration gradient .

Vicuña

The vicuña ( Vicugna vicugna ) or vicugna ( both / vɪˈkuːnjə / ) is one of two wild South American camelids which live in the high alpine areas of the Andes , the other being the guanaco . It is a relative of the llama , and is now believed to be the wild ancestor of domesticated alpacas , which are raised for their coats . Vicuñas produce small amounts of extremely fine wool , which is very expensive because the animal can only be shorn every three years , and has to be caught from the wild . When knitted together , the product of the vicuña 's wool is very soft and warm . The Inca valued vicuñas highly for their wool , and it was against the law for anyone but royalty to wear vicuña garments ; today the vicuña is the national animal of Peru and appears in the Peruvian coat of arms .
