Two days after the 1973 coup, the Soviet Union and India recognized the first Republic of Afghanistan and the new government.
The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was the Afghan government that came to power through the Saur Revolution. It led the country from the end of the Saur Revolution in 1978 until 1992, when it was overthrown by several mujahideen groups at the end of the 1989-1992 Civil War. The party that was in power in the government was the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA), which was founded on 1 July 1965. The PDPA party followed a Marxist–Leninist ideology. The party was led by Nur Muhammad Taraki, who led the party ever since the split between the Khalq faction (led by Taraki and Amin) and the Parcham faction (led by Babrak Karmal) in 1967. During their time in power, the DRA introduced several contentious reforms such as modernizing traditional Islamic civil and marriage laws and forcing land reforms.

Seeing the success of the mujahideen, the UN and senior leaders of several Afghan mujahideen parties decided to meet in Peshawar to try to form a new neutral acting Afghan government to replace Najibullah's regime. The UN presented a plan to the mujahideen groups to form a pre-interim council and accept formal sovereignty from President Najibullah. In March 1992, Najibullah announced his cooperation to resign in order to make way for a new neutral acting government. With this announcement, he lost internal control. In April 1992, Kabul came completely under the control of the interim government, with the hope for a new era. But the situation quickly spiraled into escalation. Throughout the negotation process, mujahideen forces were stationed outside Kabul city. In the spring of 1992, at least five mujahideen groups fell out and started fighting each other to take control over Kabul. Parties involved in the conflict were the Jamiat-e Islami group (led byAhmad Shah Massoud), the Hezb-e Islami group (led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar), the Hezb-i Wahdat group (led by Abdul Ali Mazari, the Ittehad-e Islami group (led by Abdul Rasul Sayyaf) and the Junbish-i Islami group (led by Abdul Rashid Dostum). By the end of 1992, the city of Kabul was badly damaged, thousands of civilians had been killed, and half a million residents were forced to flee. In November 1994, a new group entered the scene: the Taliban. They gradually gained the upper hand in the conflict, conquered Kabul in September 1996, and took control over Afghanistan altogether.

An enhanced geothermal system (EGS) is a geothermal energy system that can make electrical energy when natural underground water is not there. For a long time, geothermal energy could only be produced when there were hot rocks, underground water, and cracks in rocks all together in one area. Now, new ways of getting power from this source, are being created. Areas that can possibly be used for energy need to be altered by people to make the energy usable. These areas may need underground water or a network of fractures in their rocks or both. Enhanced geothermal systems allow for geothermal energy to be outside normal geothermal areas like active plate boundaries to less active areas like the western United States.

Natural gender is a linguistic category for the sex of real life beings, be it the biological sex of animals or the social identity of a person. The sex, of humans and animals, can be marked in many languages by a corresponding grammatical gender and specific words. The term "sex" (or "sexus") does not apply to words that do not refer to living things (for example: the word "table" is grammatically feminine in Spanish, but tables are not "feminine"), which are called inanimate beings. The gender of words, on the other hand, serves to divide words into "grammatical classes" (into genders), which require a language for all nouns.

Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system is a non-viral vector for gene therapy (ref: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3095056/). The SB system enables high-level stable gene transfer and sustained transgene expression in multiple primary human somatic cell types, thereby representing a highly attractive gene transfer strategy for clinical use. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28964527). Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon-based transfection is a two-component system consisting of a transposase and a transposon containing inverted repeat/direct repeat (IR/DR) sequences that result in precise integration into a TA dinucleotide. The transposon is designed with an expression cassette of interest flanked by IR/DRs, and SB transposase mediates stable integration and reliable long-term expression of the gene of interest. It has recently been demonstrated that SB efficiently mediates gene transfer and stable gene expression in human embryonic stem (ES) cells (http://cshprotocols.cshlp.org/content/2009/8/pdb.prot5270.full).
In firearms,Tapering refers to components that narrow down, similar to that of a conical fashion hence the name taper. In barrels, this centralises mass to the operator. Not only to reduce weight from the muzzle but also to increase accuracy and stabilise the balance handling of the weapon. Also the fact that chamber pressures are higher at the rear of the barrel. In cartridges, this usually helps in chambering/unloading the weapon. This differs than bottlenecking as this only refers to the case head of the cartridge that holds the projectile, wheras tapering usually refers to the angled sides of the cartridge.
