question:
People escaping during this event utilized the McCorkell Line to seek passage to Canada and US. In the country where this took place, it is referred to as ""an Gorta Mor"" or ""an Drochshaol.

answer:
Social Science

question:
It exists because of electron degeneracy pressure; as electrons are compressed closer together, more exist per unit volume and must take on higher energy levels as mandated by the Pauli-exclusion principle. A relativistic state equation can be used to calculate it as the radius of a white dwarf decreases with an increase in its mass. Developed shortly before its namesakes theory on black holes, for ten points, name this value of about 1.4 solar masses, the maximum mass of a star which can be supported against gravitational collapse.
answer:
Science

question:
Irregularly shaped compartments of this organelle which change in response to cellular metabolic activity are called paraspeckles, and promyelocytic leukemia bodies are often found in this organelle. The biogenesis of snRNPs ["snurps"] is thought to be regulated by this organelle's (*) Cajal bodies, and it can be visualized through Hoechst and DAPI staining. Movement in and out of these organelles is regulated by RAN proteins at its namesake pores, and this organelle is not found in erythrocytes. This organelle is surrounded by a namesake "envelope" which is continuous with rough ER, and it is the site of transcription. For ten points, name this organelle only found in eukaryotes which contains the nucleolus as well as the genetic material of the cell.
