Capillary 
 The width of 8 μm forces the red blood cells to partly fold into bullet-like shapes in order to bypass them in single file.
Capillary 
 Precapillary muscles are rings of smooth muscles at the start of true capillaries that handle blood flow into true capillaries and control blood flow through a body part or area.
Capillary 
 The capillary wall is a one-layer tissue so thin that gas and other items such as oxygen, water, proteins and fats can pass through them driven by pressure differences.
Capillary 
 Waste items such as carbon dioxide and urea can move back into the blood to be carried away for removal from the body.
Capillary 
 The capillary bed usually moves no more than 25% of the amount of blood it could contain, although this amount can be increased through auto regulation by making the smooth muscle relax in the arterioles that lead to the capillary bed as well as metarterioles making themselves smaller.
Capillary 
 The capillaries do not have this smooth muscle in their own wall, and so any change in their width is passive.
Capillary 
 Any signaling molecules they release (such as endothelin for constriction and nitric oxide for dilation) act on the smooth muscle cells in the walls of nearby, larger vessels, e.g. arterioles.
Capillary 
 Capillary's ability to move items can be increased by the release of certain cytokines, such as in an the body defending itself from germs.
Viriato Clemente da Cruz 
 Viriato Clemente da Cruz, an Angolan poet and politician, was born in 1928 in Kikuvo (Porto Amboim), Angola and died in Beijing, China on 13 June 1973.
Viriato Clemente da Cruz 
 As a young man in 1957 he went to Paris, where he met Mario Pinto de Andrade, another Angolan poet and politician, who helped with his political ideas.
Viriato Clemente da Cruz 
 In the 1960s they helped create the group called the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA—from the Portuguese name ).
Viriato Clemente da Cruz 
 The MPLA was in not in Angola at this time, but was first in Conakry (the capital of Guinea) and then later in Leopoldville, Congo (now Kinshasa the capital of the DRC).
Viriato Clemente da Cruz 
 After some time he and others, did not agree with some people in the group and this led to fighting in the streets of Leopoldville.
Viriato Clemente da Cruz 
 Viriato da Cruz wanted to leave China and return to Africa, but the Chinese government would not let him go and they were not good to him.
Viriato Clemente da Cruz 
 Some Angolan people think that this was shocking, because Viriato da Cruz worked hard for Angola and was one of the leaders of the liberation from Portugal.
Mollusc 
 They are the largest marine phylum, with about 85,000 living species, 23% of all named marine organisms.
Mollusc 
 Most molluscs have shells, but some groups do not: octopods, slugs, and the gastropods known as sea slugs.
Mollusc 
 They are highly diverse, not just in size and in anatomical structure, but also in behaviour and in habitat.
Mollusc 
 Cephalopod molluscs, such as squid, cuttlefish and octopus, are among the most neurologically advanced of all invertebrates: they have good brains and complex behaviours.
Mollusc 
 The gastropods (snails and slugs) are by far the most numerous molluscs in terms of classified species, and account for 80% of the total.
Mollusc 
 Other than these things, mollusks have so much variety that many textbooks use a "hypothetical ancestral mollusk" to summarize them (see below).
Mollusc 
 This has a single, "limpet-like" shell on top, which is made of proteins and chitin reinforced with calcium carbonate.
Mollusc 
 The simplest type of molluscan reproductive system relies on external fertilization, but more complex variations occur.
Mollusc 
 All produce eggs, from which may emerge trochophore larvae, more complex veliger larvae, or miniature adults.
Mollusc 
 For example, the heart and nephridia ("kidneys") are important parts of the reproductive system, as well as the circulatory and excretory systems.
Mollusc 
 In bivalves, the gills both "breathe" and produce a water current in the mantle cavity: this is important for excretion and reproduction.
Mollusc 
 Good evidence exists for the appearance of gastropods, cephalopods and bivalves in the Cambrian period, 541 to 485.4 million years ago (mya).
Mollusc 
 Before that, the evolutionary history of molluscs' emergence from the ancestral Lophotrochozoa is still unclear.
Mollusc 
 The bite of the blue-ringed octopus is often fatal, and that of Octopus apollyon causes inflammation that can last for over a month.
Mollusc 
 Stings from a few species of large tropical cone shells can also kill: their venom have become important tools in neurological research.
Mollusc 
 Schistosomiasis (also known as bilharzia, bilharziosis or snail fever) is transmitted to humans via water snail hosts, and affects about 200 million people.
Mollusc 
 Snails and slugs can also be serious agricultural pests, and accidental or deliberate introduction of some snail species into new environments has seriously damaged some ecosystems.
Mollusc 
 Because mollusks have so many different shapes, many textbooks start the subject of molluscan anatomy by describing what is called an archi-mollusc, hypothetical generalized mollusc, or hypothetical ancestral mollusc (HAM) to illustrate the most common features in the phylum.
Mollusc 
 The picture is rather similar to modern monoplacophorans: some think it may resemble very early mollusks.
Mollusc 
 Parkhaev (2006, 2007) created the class Helcionelloida, whose members were previously treated as "Paleozoic mollusks of uncertain systematic position" by Bouchet & Rocroi.
Mollusc 
 Many mollusks are eaten as food: clams, oysters, scallops, mussels, squid (calamari) and land snails (escargot)
Sponge 
 Most cells in its body can move around; a few cells can even change from one type of cell to another.
Sponge 
 and ctenophores (comb jellies), and unlike all other known metazoans, sponges' bodies are made of a non-living jelly-like mass sandwiched between two main layers of cells.
Sponge 
 Sponges can deter predators by releasing a chemically active compound that can contain toxins and also affect organisms competing with them.
Sponge 
 Most of these sponges belong to the family Cladorhizidae, but a few members of the Guitarridae and Esperiopsidae are also carnivores.
Sponge 
 Most carnivorous sponges live in deep waters, up to , and the development of deep-ocean exploration techniques is expected to lead to the discovery of several more.
Sponge 
 However one species has been found in Mediterranean caves at depths of 17-23m alongside the more usual filter feeding sponges.
Sponge 
 The cave-dwelling predators capture crustaceans under  long by entangling them with fine threads, digest them by enveloping them with further threads over the course of a few days, and then return to their normal shape; there is no evidence that they use venom.
Sponge 
 However the genus Chondrocladia uses a highly modified water flow system to inflate balloon-like structures that are used for capturing prey.
Sponge 
 They can then either make a new sponge, or they can use the skeleton of the parent sponge (that died).
Sponge 
 These are either captured by another sponge, and are then transported to the egg cells of the parent.
Sponge 
 The other way, known as oviparous is that both sperm cells and egg cells are released into the water.
Sponge 
 A report in 1997 described how bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay used sponges as tools: A dolphin may attach a marine sponge to its rostrum (snoutlike projection).
Sponge 
 It is thought the sponge is used to protect the rostrum when the dolphin is looking for food in the sandy sea bottom but scientists have not confirmed this.
Sponge 
 The behaviour, known as sponging, has only been seen in this bay, and is almost exclusively shown by females.
Sponge 
 A study in 2005 concluded that mothers teach the behaviour to their daughters, and that all the sponge-users are closely related.
Sponge 
 Dolphins also use sponges as an exfoliator, rubbing their skin against the sponge attached to the rock to get rid of their old/dry skin.
Sponge 
 The calcium carbonate or silica spicules of most sponges make them too rough for most uses, but two genera, Hippospongia and Spongia, have soft, entirely fibrous skeletons.
Sponge 
 Early Europeans used soft sponges for many purposes including padding for helmets, portable drinking utensils and municipal water filters.
Sponge 
 Until synthetic sponges were invented, they were also used as cleaning tools, for painting, and as contraceptives.
Sponge 
 Synthetic "sponges" include personal and household cleaning tools; breast implants; contraceptive sponges.
Sponge 
 The luffa "sponge", also spelled loofah, which is commonly sold for use in the kitchen or the bath, is not derived from an animal but from the fibrous "skeleton" of a gourd (Cucurbitaceae).
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life 
 It is the second movie to star Angelina Jolie as the title character from the Tomb Raider video games.
Amplitude 
 Amplitudes are always measured as positive numbers (for example: 3.5, 1, 120) and are never negative (for example: -3.5, -1, -120).
Amplitude 
 That's because distance can only be greater than zero or equal to zero; negative distance does not exist.
Amplitude 
 Another way to describe peak-to-peak amplitude is to say that it is the distance between the maximum positive value and the maximum negative value of a wave is the maximum displacement of a wave from an equilibrium position
Ska 
 Ska music bands include singers, electric guitars, electric bass guitar, piano, organ, saxophone, trumpet, and trombone.
Ska 
 When a singer is "toasting", they make sounds, repeat words, invent rhymes, and shout into the microphone.
Ska 
 This pattern symbolizes the way that ska music mixes of Black and White musicans and styles of music.
Ska 
 There was a British genre of ska-punk influenced by The Specials, Madness and the English Beat, that began to dress in kilts.
Ska 
 In the 1980s, ska bands such as The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat, UB40 and Madness played ska music.
Braille 
 In the 17th century the Italian Jesuit Francesco Lana thought about different systems of writing for the blind.
Braille 
 Valentin Haüy was one of the first French who was interested in the problems the blind had when they wanted to communicate.
Braille 
 Charles Barbier used a similar system, because Napoleon wanted a code that soldiers could use to exchange messages silently and without light at night.
Braille 
 Even though the system was difficult to learn, it did help the blind to read better than earlier systems.
Braille 
 Braille saw the biggest problem of the code: The human finger cannot feel the whole symbol at one time.
Braille 
 Braille's change was to use a 6 dot cell — the braille system — which completely changed how the blind would read and write.
Braille 
 There are also different braille codes in use for special purposes, like writing shorthand, mathematics or music.
Braille 
 To make it possible to read faster, certain transcriptions of Braille use shortened words, or contractions.
Braille 
 The dot positions on the left are numbered one, to three, the ones on the right four to six, as shown in the picture.
Braille 
 The dots are approximately 0.02 inches (0.5 mm) high; inside the cell, the dots are about 0.1 inches (2.5 mm) apart.
Braille 
 The space between the dots of two cells is about 0.15 inches (3.75 mm) horizontally and 0.2 inches (5 mm) vertically.
Braille 
 A standard braille page is 11 inches by 11 inches and typically has between forty and forty-two braille cells per line and twenty-five lines.
Braille 
 As first made by Louis Braille, the first group of characters, using just the top 4 dots of the braille cell, represents letters "a" through "j" (this group of ten characters is called a decade).
Braille 
 Dot 3 (bottom left) is added to each of the "a" through "j" symbols to give letters "k" through "t".
Braille 
 Both of the bottom dots (dots 3 and 6) are added to the first decade to give letters "u", "v", "x", "y", and "z".
Braille 
 The letter "w" is left out of this group because French did not use the letter "w" when Louis Braille made his alphabet.
Braille 
 The fifth decade is the same as the first decade, but shifted down by a row (dots 1 and 4 are blank).
Braille 
 English braille has codes for the letters and some punctuation, and some double letter signs and word signs directly, but capitalization and numbers need a prefix symbol.
Braille 
 There are braille codes for representing shorthand (produced on a machine which embosses a paper tape) and for representing mathematics (Nemeth Braille) and musical notation (braille music).
Braille 
 Braille can be made using a "slate" and a "stylus" in which each dot is created from the back of the page, writing in mirror image, by hand, or it may be produced on a special braille typewriter or "Perkins Brailler", or produced by a braille embosser attached to a computer.
Braille 
 One example for this is how numbers are coded in English braille: First there is a symbol that says the next symbol is a number, and then there is the symbol for the number.
Braille 
 The symbol for number is usually given only once; every symbol that follows is treated as a number, until there is a space.
Braille 
 Braille has been extended to an 8 dot code, particularly for use with braille embossers and refreshable braille displays.
Braille 
 In 8 dot braille the added dots are added at the bottom of the cell, giving a cell 4 dots high by 2 dots wide.
Braille 
 8-dot braille has the advantages that capital and lower cases of the letters are directly coded in the cell, a capital letter does not need two cells.
Braille 
 All the printable ASCII characters can be represented in a single cell, and all 256 possible combinations of 8 bits are encoded by the Unicode standard.
Braille 
 The standard page is 11"x11" (28 cm by 28 cm) in size and only has room for twenty-five lines of forty characters.
Braille 
 Grade 2 braille was developed by linguists (people who study languages), who also looked at customs, styles and practices.
Braille 
 Transcribing a text into Grade 2 braille is difficult, and the people doing the transcription need to have a special education.
Braille 
 That way, the word but is contracted (shortened) to the single letter b, can to c, do to d, and so on.
Braille 
 As an example, only the verb to do is replaced by d, the noun do (which stands for a note in music) is a different word, and is written in full.
Braille 
 Sometimes, part of words are contracted, and a character can mean different things in different parts of a word.
Braille 
 For example, the character with dots 2-3-5 (the letter "f" lowered in the braille cell) stands for "ff" when used in the middle of a word.
Braille 
 At the beginning of a word, this same character stands for the word "to" although the character is written in braille with no space following it.
Braille 
 The contraction rules cannot be used when it would make a problem with a prefix or suffix on the word.
Braille 
 So when the rules permit the same word to be written in more than one way, preference is given to "the contraction that is closer to the correct pronunciation."
Braille 
 This 'tactile feature' does not use standard braille but, instead, a system developed by working with blind and visually impaired Canadians after they found that not all people who needed it could read braille.
Braille 
 In Britain (for example), of the two million visually impaired people, only about 15-20 thousand use Braille.
Braille 
 In the U.S.A. according to the 2015 Annual Report from the American Printing House for the Blind, there were 61,739 legally blind students registered in the U.S. Of these, only 8.6% (5,333) were registered as braille readers, 31% (19,109) as visual readers, 9.4% (5,795) as auditory readers, 17% (10,470) as pre-readers, and 34% (21,032) as non-readers.
Braille 
 Currently, among the estimated 85,000 blind adults in the United States, 90% of those who are Braille-literate are employed.
Braille 
 Younger people are turning to electronic text on computers which can be read aloud by software  programs.
Braille 
 A term which is useful to know is "accessible publishing": Accessible publishing means books and other texts are available in formats designed to aid or replace the reading process.
Braille 
 Examples are: varieties of larger fonts, specialised fonts for certain kinds of reading disabilities, Braille, e-books, and automated Audiobooks and digital talking books.
Braille 
 This means that Braille is only one way for sighting-impaired people to go; also that there are many more partially sighted people than registered blind people.
Braille 
 When braille is adapted to languages which do not use the Latin alphabet, the blocks are generally assigned to the new alphabet according to how it is transliterated into the Latin alphabet, not the alphabetic order of the national script.
Braille 
 In Greek, for example, gamma is written as Latin g, even though it is the third letter of that alphabet (like the Latin c).
Braille 
 Hebrew beth, the second letter of the alphabet and cognate with the Latin letter b, is instead written v, as it is commonly pronounced.
Braille 
 Esperanto letters with circumflexes, ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ and ŝ, are written as those letters without circumflexes with a filled sixth dot.
Braille 
 In Mandarin Braille, which is based on Zhuyin rather than the Latin Pinyin alphabet, the Latin braille values are used for the first consonants and the simple vowels.
Braille 
 There are additional blocks for the tones, diphthongs, and any following vowel + consonant combinations.
Braille 
 Cantonese Braille is also based on Latin braille for many of the initial consonants and simple vowels, but the blocks also have different values depending on whether they are in a leading syllable or following syllable position.
Braille 
 For instance, the block for Latin k represents old-style Cantonese k (g in Yale and other modern Romanizations) when initial, but aak when final, while Latin j represents Cantonese initial j but final oei.
Braille 
 However, at least two adaptations of Braille have completely reassigned the Latin sound values of the blocks.
Braille 
 In Japanese Braille, alphabetic signs for a consonant and vowel are combined into a single syllable block; in Korean Braille, the consonants have different leading and following syllable forms.
Braille 
 These changes made Braille much more compatible with Japanese kana and Korean hangul, but meant that the Latin sound values could not be kept.
Braille 
 Trained readers of Braille can read about 100 words per minute; trained readers who do not have sight problems can get to around 250 to 300 words per minute.

Switch 
 The most common kind of switch is something (for example a railroad switch) which can be taken off of one course and put onto another.
Switch 
 In applications where more than one switch is needed, (i.e. a telephone service) mechanical switches have been replaced by electronic switches which can be controlled automatically.
Switch 
 The use of electronic gates to work as a system of logical gates is the basic idea behind the computer —i.e. a computer is a lot of electronic switches that work as logic gates.
Francis Bacon 
 Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St. Alban  KC, (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626), was an English philosopher, statesman, and author.
Francis Bacon 
 He has been described as one of the greatest thinkers ever whose ideas have changed the way people think.
Francis Bacon 
 He was born in London, the son of Sir Nicholas Bacon, and the nephew of Queen Elizabeth's advisor, William Cecil.
Francis Bacon 
 He later became a Member of Parliament and in 1586 he took a leading part in having Mary Queen of Scots executed.
Francis Bacon 
 He became a friend of Robert Deveraux, the Earl of Essex, in 1591, and received many valuable gifts from him.
Francis Bacon 
 After Essex led a rebellion against the Queen, Bacon was one of the people who led the investigation which led to Essex's execution in 1601.
Francis Bacon 
 He was one of the people who argued for the joining of England and Scotland together as one country, which happened after his lifetime, in the 1700s.
Francis Bacon 
 He continued to be given better paying positions including Attorney General, Lord Keeper, and Lord Chancellor.
Francis Bacon 
 He used his positions to make more money for himself, and in 1621 the Parliament found that he was corrupt.
Sled dog 
 Sled dogs, known also as sleigh dogs, sledge dogs or sleddogs are types of dogs that are used to pull a wheel-less vehicle on runners (a sled or sleigh) over snow or ice, by means of harnesses and lines.
Overland Expedition 
 The Overland Expedition, also called the Overland Relief Expedition or Point Barrow-Overland Relief Expedition, was a long trip in 1897–8, by three officers of the United States Coast Guard (then named the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service), with the help of two civilians, using sled dogs and reindeer to rescue more than 250 whalers trapped in the Arctic Ocean by  ice around their ships.
Overland Expedition 
 McKinley later talked about the rescue in a letter dated January 17, 1899 to the United States Congress, in which he asked Congress to award the officers Congressional Gold Medals, and to pay the civilians for their help:
Overland Expedition 
 officers and crews of the fleet, would perish from hunger unless succor [an old word for help] could reach them early in the spring. ...
Overland Expedition 
 They were materially aided by Mr. W.T. Lopp, agent of the American Missionary Society at Cape Prince of Wales, and Artisarlook, a native of that region, both of whom, at great personal sacrifice, left their families and accompanied the reindeer herd to Point Barrow.
Overland Expedition 
 due to] bad sanitary conditions and want of proper food, the men from the whale ships quartered there were found upon the verge of great suffering, while sickness had broken out among them. ...

Tear gas 
 Phenacyl chloride (CN) liquid and CS powder are two of the chemicals that are often found in tear gas.
Tear gas 
 Pepper spray is another chemical compound that acts very similarly and is sometimes used to control crowds.
Tear gas 
 The 1925 Geneva Protocol is not specific enough about the use of irritating agents, such as tear gas in war.
Tear gas 
 The use of tear gas is also has problems: Usually, cartidges of tear gas are thrown; they can hit and injure people.
Tear gas 
 A case of serious vascular injury from tear gas shells has also been reported from Iran, with high rates of associated nerve injury (44%) and amputation (17%), as well as instances of head injuries in young people.
Tear gas 
 delayed complications are also possible: people with respiratory conditions such as asthma are likely to need medical attention and may sometimes require hospitalization or even ventilation support.
Tear gas 
 When people are hit at close range or are severely exposed, eye injuries involving scarring of the cornea can lead to a permanent loss in visual acuity.
Kaba Ma Kyei 
 "Kaba Ma Kyei" (), which means "Until the World Crumbles", is the national anthem (song) of Myanmar.
Yangon 
 The British captured Yangon during the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–26) but returned it to Burma after the war.
Yangon 
 The British took Yangon and all of Lower Burma in the Second Anglo-Burmese War of 1852, and then changed Yangon into the most important city of British Burma.
Yangon 
 Yangon became the capital of all British Burma after the British had captured Upper Burma in the Third Anglo-Burmese War of 1885.
