Valleytronics (from valley and electronics) is an experimental area in semiconductors that exploits local minima ("valleys") in the electronic band structure. Certain semiconductors have multiple "valleys" in the electronic band structure of the first Brillouin zone, and are known as multivalley semiconductors.[1][2] Valleytronics is the technology of control over the valley degree of freedom, a local maximum/minimum on the valence/conduction band, of such multivalley semiconductors.
The term was coined in analogy to spintronics. While in spintronics the internal degree of freedom of spin
is harnessed to store, manipulate and read out bits of information, the
proposal for valleytronics is to perform similar tasks using the
multiple extrema of the band structure, so that the information of 0s
and 1s would be stored as different discrete values of the crystal momentum.
Vallytronics may refer to other forms of quantum manipulation of valleys in semiconductors, including quantum computation with valley-based qubits,[3][4][5][6] valley blockade and other forms of quantum electronics. First experimental evidence of valley blockade predicted in Ref.[7] (which completes the set of Coulomb charge blockade and Pauli spin blockade) has been observed in a single atom doped silicon transistor.[8]
Pyroelectricity (from the two Greek words pyr meaning fire, and electricity) is a property of certain crystals which are naturally electrically polarized and as a result contain large electric fields.[1] Pyroelectricity can be described as the
ability of certain materials to generate a temporary voltage when they are heated or cooled.[2][3] The change in temperature modifies the positions of the atoms slightly within the crystal structure, such that the polarization
of the material changes. This polarization change gives rise to a
voltage across the crystal. If the temperature stays constant at its new
value, the pyroelectric voltage gradually disappears due to leakage current. (The leakage can be due to electrons moving through the crystal, ions moving through the air, or current leaking through a voltmeter attached across the crystal.)[3]

A throne room or throne hall is the room, often rather a hall, in the official residence of the crown, either a palace or a fortified castle, where the throne of a senior figure (usually a monarch) is set up with elaborate pomp—usually raised, often with steps, and under a canopy, both of which are part of the original notion of the Greek word thronos.

Description
Following practices of Biodynamic agriculture,
workers regulate their operations by the cycles of the moon, starting
two-week production intervals upon the new moon, during which time they
also practice chastity and vegetarianism.[3][4]
The owner and "lead Sister" Christine Meeusen, who does not identify with Christianity, considers the production to be a spiritual activity,[5] whose rituals and incorporate New Age practices and environmentalism,[6] "borrowing" from Native American practices.[7] Meeusen also mentions the Beguines to refer to her business' philosophy.[2][8]
The members wear religious habits and refer to each other as sisters, but claim no affiliation with a religious order.[9]
Business Insider calls the Sisters of the Valley nuns "the most talked-about women in the pot business".[7]
Paris Talks is a book transcribed from talks given by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá while in Paris in the first stages of his journeys to the West. It was originally published as Talks by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá Given in Paris

In social philosophy, objectification is the act of treating a person, or sometimes an animal,[1] as an object or a thing. It is part of dehumanization, the act of disavowing the humanity of others. Sexual objectification, the act of treating a person as a mere object of sexual desire, is a subset of objectification, as is self-objectification, the objectification of one's self. In Marxism, the objectification of social relationships is discussed as "reification".

The absence of good(Latin: privatio boni), also known as the privation theory of evil, is a theological and philosophical doctrine that evil, unlike good, is insubstantial, so that thinking of it as an entity is misleading. Instead, evil is rather the absence, or lack (“privation”), of good.

Software Ecosystem is a book written by David G. Messerschmitt and Clemens Szyperski that explains the essence and effects of a "software ecosystem", defined as a set of businesses functioning as a unit and interacting with a shared market for software and services, together with relationships among them. These relationships are frequently underpinned by a common technological platform and operate through the exchange of information, resources, and artifacts.[1][2][3][4][5]
The term in software analysis
In the context of software analysis, the term software ecosystem is defined by Lungu [6]
as “a collection of software projects, which are developed and
co-evolve in the same environment”. The environment can be
organizational (a company), social (an open-source community), or technical (the Ruby ecosystem). The ecosystem metaphor is used in order to denote an analysis which takes into account multiple software systems.[7] The most frequent of such analyses is static analysis of the source code of the component systems of the ecosystem.
Magnetic immunoassay (MIA) is a novel type of diagnostic immunoassay using magnetic beads as labels in lieu of conventional enzymes (ELISA), radioisotopes (RIA) or fluorescent moieties (fluorescent immunoassays)[1]
to detect a specified analyte.MIA involves the specific binding of an
antibody to its antigen, where a magnetic label is conjugated to one
element of the pair.The presence of magnetic beads is then detected by a
magnetic reader (magnetometer)
which measures the magnetic field change induced by the beads. The
signal measured by the magnetometer is proportional to the analyte
(virus, toxin, bacteria, cardiac marker, etc.) concentration in the
initial sample.
Enzymes may use quantum tunneling to transfer electrons long distances. It is possible that protein quaternary architecture may have evolved to enable sustained quantum entanglement and coherence. More specifically, they can increase the percentage of the reaction that occurs through hydrogen tunneling.

name a series of Drosophila embryonic lethal mutations associated with defective exoskeleton
formation. Early research showed that when one of the Halloween genes
was mutated, fly embryos would die before the exoskeleton was created. Mutants in the halloween gene series include the spook, spookier, phantom (or phm), disembodied (or dib), shadow (or sad), and shade genes.

Social psychology is the scientific study of how the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, and implied presence of others. In this definition, scientific refers to empirical investigation using the scientific method, while the terms thoughts, feelings, and behaviors refer to the psychological variables that can be measured in humans. Imagined and implied presences refer to the internalized social norms that humans are influenced by even when alone.[1]
What is fusion in psychology?
Emotional fusion
is defined as the emotional oneness or 'stuck togetherness' between
family members. It can be measured by the degree to which an individual
invests energy into a significant relationship and by the extent to
which a person's functioning in a relationship is a reaction to another.
Fusion
is where “people form intense relationships with others and their
actions depend largely on the condition of the relationships at any
given time… Decisions depend on what others think and whether the
decision will disturb the fusion of the existing relationships.” ( Papero, 2000)
This is where we get entangled
with our thoughts and 'pushed around by them' (Russ Harris). We focus
our attention on the contents of our mind (our thoughts, memories,
assumptions, beliefs, images etc) rather than what we are experiencing
through our five senses
In physics and chemistry, effusion is the process in which a gas escapes from a container through a hole of diameter considerably smaller than the mean free path of the molecules.[1] Such a hole is often described as a pinhole
and the escape of the gas is due to the pressure difference between the
container and the exterior. Under these conditions, essentially all
molecules which arrive at the hole continue and pass through the hole,
since collisions between molecules in the region of the hole are
negligible. Conversely, when the diameter is larger than the mean free path of the gas, flow obeys the Sampson flow law.
Diffusion bonding or diffusion welding is a solid-state
welding technique used in metalworking, capable of joining similar and
dissimilar metals. It operates on the principle of solid-state
diffusion, wherein the atoms of two solid, metallic surfaces intersperse
themselves over time. This is typically accomplished at an elevated
temperature, approximately 50-75% of the absolute melting temperature of
the materials.[1][2]
Diffusion bonding is usually implemented by applying high pressure, in
conjunction with necessarily high temperature, to the materials to be
welded; the technique is most commonly used to weld "sandwiches" of
alternating layers of thin metal foil, and metal wires or filaments.[3]
Currently, the diffusion bonding method is widely used in the joining
of high-strength and refractory metals within the aerospace[1] and nuclear industries.
A fusion gene is a hybrid gene formed from two previously independent genes. It can occur as a result of translocation, interstitial deletion, or chromosomal inversion. Fusion genes have been found to be prevalent in all main types of human neoplasia.[1] The identification of these fusion genes play a prominent role in being a diagnostic and prognostic marker.[2]
An apparatchik (/ˌɑːpəˈrɑːttʃɪk/; Russian: аппара́тчик[ɐpɐˈratɕɪk]) was a full-time, professional functionary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union or the Soviet governmentapparat (аппарат, apparatus), someone who held any position of bureaucratic or political responsibility, with the exception of the higher ranks of management called nomenklatura. James Billington describes an apparatchik as "a man not of grand plans, but of a hundred carefully executed details." The term is often considered derogatory, with negative connotations in terms of the quality, competence, and attitude of a person thus described
A superconductor is a
material that acts strangely when cooled down to a certain temperature.
When these materials reach their critical temperature they suddenly
become perfect conductors. A semiconductor, on the other hand, is a material that has a conductivity somewhere between that of a conductor and an insulator.
An alcázar (English: /ˈælkəzɑːr/;[2]see below) is a type of Moorish castle or palace in Spain and Portugal built during Muslim rule although the term is also used for many medieval castles built by Christians on earlier Roman, Visigothic
or Moorish fortifications. Most of the alcázars were built between the
8th and 15th centuries. Many cities in Spain have an alcázar. The term
is frequently used as a synonym for castillo or castle; palaces built by Christian rulers were also often called alcázars.
The existence of the earliest forts in India have been substantiated by documentation and excavation. In the
medieval times, the architecture of the forts had both Hindu and Muslim
influence. The forts constructed by the British initially opted for
simple designs. The existing castles are continually modified and many
of them are privately owned.
A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is defined as a feature or component of a certain device or software application that enables humans to engage and interact with machines. Some examples of common Human Machine Interface devices that we encounter in our daily lives include touchscreens and keyboards.

Announcing ASM’s new open access journal, Microbiology Spectrum. The journal will publish technically sound research studies in all areas of microbial sciences. Coming Spring 2021.
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms (also known as microbes),
which are unicellular or cell-cluster organisms and infectious agents
too small to be seen with the naked eye. This includes eukaryotes
(organisms with a nucleus), such as fungi and protists, and prokaryotes
(organisms without a nucleus), such as bacteria.
A fundamental understanding of how a cell works has come through the
study of microorganisms. But microbiology also is an applied science,
helping agriculture, health and medicine and maintenance of the
environment, as well as the biotechnology industry. Microbiologists
study microbes at the level of the community (ecology and epidemiology),
at the level of the cell (cell biology and physiology) and at the level
of proteins and genes (molecular biology).
Microorganisms are extremely important in our everyday lives. Some
are responsible for a significant proportion of the diseases affecting
not only humans, but also plants and animals, while others are vitally
important in the maintenance and modification of our environment. Still
others play an essential role in industry, where their unique properties
have been harnessed in the production of food, beverages and
antibiotics. Scientists also have learned how to exploit microorganisms
in the field of molecular biology, which makes an enormous impact both
industrially and medically. Microbiology also encompasses immunology,
the study of the body’s ability to mount defenses against infectious
microbes.
Because microbiology, by definition, studies organisms not visible to
the naked eye, we can consider late-17th-century Dutch scientist Antony
van Leeuwenhoek the father of the discipline. Leeuwenhoek was the first
person to describe tiny cells and bacteria, and he invented new methods
for grinding and polishing microscope lenses that allowed for
curvatures providing magnifications of up to 270 diameters, the best
available lenses at that time. But while van Leeuwenhoek is cited as the
first microbiologist, the first recorded microbiological observation —
the fruiting bodies of molds — was made earlier, in 1665, by English
physicist Robert Hooke.
Other notable people in the history of science who made fundamental
discoveries about microorganisms are 19th-century scientists Louis
Pasteur and Robert Koch, who are considered the founders of medical
microbiology. Pasteur is most famous for his series of experiments
designed to disprove the then-widely held theory of spontaneous
generation, which solidified microbiology’s identity as a biological
science. Pasteur also designed methods for food preservation
(pasteurization) and vaccines against several diseases, such as anthrax,
fowl cholera and rabies. Koch is best known for his contributions to
the germ theory of disease, proving that specific diseases were caused
by specific pathogenic microorganisms. He developed a series of criteria
that have become known as Koch’s postulates. Koch was one of the first
scientists to focus on the isolation of bacteria in pure culture,
resulting in his description of several novel bacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis.
Finally, some of the most important discoveries affecting public
health occurred in the 20th century, such as the discovery of penicillin
by Alexander Fleming, which started a rush to find other natural, and
eventually synthetic, antibiotics; the development of vital vaccines,
including those for polio and yellow fever; and the birth of molecular
biology, which happened in the 1940s with the study of bacteria
Abstract: "The
dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent or
convolutional neural networks in an encoder-decoder configuration. The
best performing models also connect the encoder and decoder through an
attention mechanism. We propose a new simple network architecture, the
Transformer, based solely on attention mechanisms, dispensing with
recurrence and convolutions entirely. Experiments on two machine
translation tasks show these models to be superior in quality while
being more parallelizable and requiring significantly less time to
train. Our model achieves 28.4 BLEU on the WMT 2014 English-to-German
translation task, improving over the existing best results, including
ensembles by over 2 BLEU. On the WMT 2014 English-to-French translation
task, our model establishes a new single-model state-of-the-art BLEU
score of 41.8 after training for 3.5 days on eight GPUs, a small
fraction of the training costs of the best models from the literature.
We show that the Transformer generalizes well to other tasks by applying
it successfully to English constituency parsing both with large and
limited training data."

Variable refrigerant flow (VRF), also known as variable refrigerant volume (VRV), is an HVAC technology invented by Daikin Industries, Ltd. in 1982.[1] Like ductless minisplits, VRFs use refrigerant
as the cooling and heating medium. This refrigerant is conditioned by a
single or multiple condensing units (which may be outdoors or indoors,
water or air cooled), and is circulated within the building to multiple
indoor units.[2]
VRF systems, unlike conventional chiller-based systems, allow for
varying degrees of cooling in only certain areas, reducing energy
consumption.
OAXACA KHADI:Khadi long recognised as an eco-friendly fabric has also become a fashion statement. Not only is popularity of Khadi rising, but it is also being produced in many parts of the world.

The term kagome lattice was coined by Japanese physicist Kôdi Husimi, and first appeared in a 1951 paper by his assistant Ichirō Shōji.
The kagome lattice in this sense consists of the vertices and edges of the trihexagonal tiling.
Despite the name, these crossing points do not form a mathematical lattice.
A related three dimensional structure formed by the vertices and
edges of the quarter cubic honeycomb, filling space by regular
tetrahedra and truncated tetrahedra, has been called a hyper-kagome lattice.
It is represented by the vertices and edges of the quarter cubic
honeycomb, filling space by regular tetrahedra and truncated tetrahedra.
It contains four sets of parallel planes of points and lines, each
plane being a two dimensional kagome lattice. A second expression in
three dimensions has parallel layers of two dimensional lattices and is
called an orthorhombic-kagome lattice. The trihexagonal prismatic honeycomb represents its edges and vertices.
Some minerals, namely jarosites and herbertsmithite, contain two-dimensional layers or three-dimensional kagome lattice arrangement of atoms in their crystal structure. These minerals display novel physical properties connected with geometrically frustrated magnetism. For instance, the spin arrangement of the magnetic ions in Co3V2O8
rests in a kagome lattice which exhibits fascinating magnetic behavior
at low temperatures. Quantum magnets realized on Kagome lattices have
been discovered to exhibit many unexpected electronic and magnetic
phenomena.
The term is much in use nowadays in the scientific literature,
especially by theorists studying the magnetic properties of a
theoretical kagome lattice.

Molecular motorsare natural (biological) or artificial molecular machines that are the essential agents of movement in living organisms. In general terms, a motor is a device that consumes energy in one form and converts it into motion or mechanical work; for example, many protein-based molecular motors harness the chemical free energy released by the hydrolysis of ATP in order to perform mechanical work.[1]
In terms of energetic efficiency, this type of motor can be superior to
currently available man-made motors. One important difference between
molecular motors and macroscopic motors is that molecular motors operate
in the thermal bath, an environment in which the fluctuations due to thermal noise are significant.
Although myosin was originally thought to be restricted to muscle cells (hence myo-(s) + -in),
there is no single "myosin"; rather it is a very large superfamily of
genes whose protein products share the basic properties of actin
binding, ATP hydrolysis (ATPase enzyme activity), and force transduction. Virtually all eukaryotic cells contain myosin isoforms.
Some isoforms have specialized functions in certain cell types (such
as muscle), while other isoforms are ubiquitous. The structure and
function of myosin is globally conserved across species, to the extent
that rabbit muscle myosin II will bind to actin from an amoeba.[4]
Some examples of biologically important molecular motors:[2]
Dynamin is responsible for the separation of clathrin buds from the plasma membrane. GTP is used.
Rotary motors:
FoF1-ATP synthase
family of proteins convert the chemical energy in ATP to the
electrochemical potential energy of a proton gradient across a membrane
or the other way around. The catalysis of the chemical reaction and the
movement of protons are coupled to each other via the mechanical
rotation of parts of the complex. This is involved in ATP synthesis in
the mitochondria and chloroplasts as well as in pumping of protons across the vacuolar membrane.[3]
The bacterial flagellum responsible for the swimming and tumbling of E. coli
and other bacteria acts as a rigid propeller that is powered by a
rotary motor. This motor is driven by the flow of protons across a
membrane, possibly using a similar mechanism to that found in the Fo motor in ATP synthase.
Molecular dynamics simulation of a synthetic molecular motor composed of three molecules in a nanopore (outer diameter 6.7 nm) at 250 K.[4]
Viral DNA packaging motors inject viral genomic DNA into capsids as part of their replication cycle, packing it very tightly.[8]
Several models have been put forward to explain how the protein
generates the force required to drive the DNA into the capsid; for a
review, see [1].
An alternative proposal is that, in contrast with all other biological
motors, the force is not generated directly by the protein, but by the
DNA itself.[9]
In this model, ATP hydrolysis is used to drive protein conformational
changes that alternatively dehydrate and rehydrate the DNA, cyclically
driving it from B-DNA to A-DNA
and back again. A-DNA is 23% shorter than B-DNA, and the DNA
shrink/expand cycle is coupled to a protein-DNA grip/release cycle to
generate the forward motion that propels DNA into the capsid.
Predator-prey models are arguably the building blocks of the bio- and ecosystems as biomasses are grown
out of their resource masses. Species compete, evolve and
disperse simply for the purpose of seeking resources to sustain their
struggle for their very existence. Depending on their specific settings
of applications, they can take the forms of resource-consumer,
plant-herbivore, parasite-host, tumor cells (virus)-immune system,
susceptible-infectious interactions, etc. They deal with the general
loss-win interactions and hence may have applications outside of
ecosystems. When seemingly competitive interactions are carefully
examined, they are often in fact some forms of predator-prey interaction
in disguise.
In combinatorics, a greedoid is a type of set system. It arises from the notion of the matroid, which was originally introduced by Whitney in 1935 to study planar graphs and was later used by Edmonds to characterize a class of optimization problems that can be solved by greedy algorithms. Around 1980, Korte and Lovász introduced the greedoid to further generalize this characterization of greedy algorithms; hence the name greedoid. Besides mathematical optimization, greedoids have also been connected to graph theory, language theory, poset theory, and other areas of mathematics.

In 2017, 71% of the global population (5.3
billion people) used a safely managed drinking-water service – that is,
one located on premises, available when needed, and free from
contamination.
90% of the global population (6.8 billion
people) used at least a basic service. A basic service is an improved
drinking-water source within a round trip of 30 minutes to collect
water.
785 million people lack even a basic drinking-water service, including 144 million people who are dependent on surface water.
Globally, at least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces.
Contaminated water can transmit diseases such
diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. Contaminated drinking
water is estimated to cause 485 000 diarrhoeal deaths each year.
By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas.
In least developed countries, 22% of health care
facilities have no water service, 21% no sanitation service, and 22% no
waste management service.
Overall, the region is semi-arid. The rainy season
lasts only for a couple of months. The farmers are adapted to this, but
the problem arises when rains are less than normal. Another major
challenge is providing water to urban areas. Smaller towns, but
particularly Mekelle, face endemic water shortages. Reservoirs have been built, but their management is sub-optimal.
Water is the Christian symbol of divine life as well as a sign of purity and cleansing from sin. ... The holy water signifies that life is given to man by God and is a symbol of His grace.
Baptism gives the faithful a parallel to Jesus's death for man. ... Jesus so strongly commanded the importance of baptism because his believers will receive His true gift of everlasting Life in the Kingdom of God when Jesus returns (Luke 1:32-33).

In sociology and social psychology, an in-group is a social group to which a person psychologically identifies as being a member. By contrast, an out-group is a social group with which an individual does not identify. People may for example identify with their peer group, family, community,
sports team, political party, gender, religion, or nation. It has been
found that the psychological membership of social groups and categories
is associated with a wide variety of phenomena.
The terminology was made popular by Henri Tajfel and colleagues during his work in formulating social identity theory. The significance of in-group and out-group categorization was identified using a method called the minimal group paradigm.
Tajfel and colleagues found that people can form self-preferencing
in-groups within a matter of minutes and that such groups can form even
on the basis of completely arbitrary and invented discriminatory
characteristics, such as preferences for certain paintings.
In social philosophy, objectification is the act of treating a person, or sometimes an animal,[1] as an object or a thing. It is part of dehumanization, the act of disavowing the humanity of others. Sexual objectification, the act of treating a person as a mere object of sexual desire, is a subset of objectification, as is self-objectification, the objectification of one's self. In Marxism, the objectification of social relationships is discussed as "reification".
Golem, in Jewish
folklore, an image endowed with life. The term is used in the Bible
(Psalms 139:16) and in Talmudic literature to refer to an embryonic or
incomplete substance.
The most famous golem narrative involves Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the late-16th-century rabbi of Prague. Many tales differ on how the golem was brought to life and afterward controlled. According to Moment Magazine,
"the golem is a highly mutable metaphor with seemingly limitless
symbolism. It can be a victim or villain, Jew or non-Jew, man or
woman—or sometimes both. Over the centuries it has been used to connote
war, community, isolation, hope, and despair."[2]
A heart which was unworthy was devoured by the goddess Ammit and its owner condemned to remain in the Duat.
If the heart was judged
to be not pure, Ammit would devour it, and the person undergoing
judgment was not allowed to continue their voyage towards Osiris and
immortality. Once Ammit swallowed the heart, the soul was believed to become restless forever; this was called "to die a second time"
The Samudra Manthana (Sanskrit: समुद्रमन्थन, lit. churning of the ocean) is one of the best-known episodes in the Hindu philosophy narrated in the Bhagavata Purana, in the Mahabharata and in the Vishnu Purana. The Samudra Manthana explains the origin of Amrita, the nectar of immortality and the omnipotent god of destruction Shiva drank the vish.
Proverbs 12:18 - "There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." As Children of God, our tongues have a lot of power. Proverbs 18:21 confirms this by saying, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits."
1 Peter 3:9; "Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the

In rhetoric, chiasmus or, less commonly, chiasm (Latin term from Greek χίασμα, "crossing", from the Greekχιάζω, chiázō, "to shape like the letter Χ"), is a "reversal of grammatical structures in successive phrases or clauses – but no repetition of words".[1]
A similar device, antimetabole,
also involves a reversal of grammatical structures in successive
phrases or clauses, but unlike chiasmus, presents a repetition of words
in an A-B-B-A configuration.[2]

A Russian reversal is a type of joke, usually starting with the words "In Soviet Russia", in which the subject and objects of a statement are reversed: "In America you do X to/with Y; in Soviet Russia Y does X to/with you." Sometimes the first part is omitted.[1]
Although the exact origin of the joke form is uncertain, an early example is from the 1938 Cole Porter musical Leave It to Me! ("In Soviet Russia, messenger tips you.")[2]Bob Hope used the form at the 1958 Academy Awards.[2] In the 1968–1973 television show Laugh-In, a recurring character, "Piotr Rosmenko the Eastern European Man" (played by Arte Johnson), delivered short jokes such as "Here in America, is very good, everyone watch television.[3] In old country, television watch you!" This joke alludes[citation needed] to "telescreens" from George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four which both reproduce images and monitor the citizenry.
The joke form is often credited to Ukrainian-American comedian Yakov Smirnoff, although he only rarely used Russian reversals;[citation needed] an example is a Miller Lite
commercial in which he appeared in 1985, wherein he stated: "In
America, there's plenty of light beer and you can always find a party.
In Russia, Party always finds you".[1][4] Yet another example is by Garry Kasparov: "Every country has its own mafia; In Russia, the mafia has its own country." [5]
A spoonerism is an error in speech in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched (see metathesis) between two words in a phrase.[1][2] These are named after the Oxford don and ordained minister William Archibald Spooner, who reputedly did this.
An example is saying "The Lord is a shoving leopard" instead of "The Lord is a loving shepherd."
While spoonerisms are commonly heard as slips of the tongue, and
getting one's words in a tangle, they can also be used intentionally as a
play on words.
James 3:3-6; When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them
obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example.
Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are
steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise,
the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great
boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small
spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the
body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life
on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell."
Īhām in Persian, Urdu, Kurdish and Arabic poetry
is a literary device in which an author uses a word, or an arrangement
of words, that can be read in several ways. Each of the meanings may be
logically sound, equally true and intended.[1]
James 3: 9-12; "With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with
it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of
the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this
should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same
spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a
grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water."
An auto-antonym or autantonym, also called a contronym, contranym[1] or Janus word, is a word with multiple meanings (senses) of which one is the reverse of another.
Colossians 4:6; "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt,
so that you may know how you ought to answer each person."
A skunked term is a word that becomes difficult to use because it is transitioning from one meaning to another,
perhaps inconsistent or even opposite, usage, or a word that becomes
difficult to use due to other controversy surrounding the word.[1][2]Purists may insist on the old usage, while descriptivists may be more open to newer usages. Readers may not know which sense is meant.
The hypothesis of linguistic relativity, part of relativism, also known as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis/səˌpɪərˈhwɔːrf/, the Whorf hypothesis, or Whorfianism is a principle claiming that the structure of a language affects its speakers' world view or cognition, and thus people's perceptions are relative to their spoken language. The idea was however not created by Edward Sapir or Benjamin Lee Whorf, but imported from German humanistic thinking by various American authors.[1][2] Being related to the concept of the spirit or Geist, it is a core tenet of Völkerpsychologie and other versions of post-Hegelian philosophy and German romanticism.[3]
The principle is often defined in one of two versions: the strong hypothesis, which was held by some of the early linguists before World War II,[4] and the weak hypothesis, mostly held by some of the modern linguists.[4]
The strong version says that language determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and determine cognitive categories.
The weak version says that linguistic categories and usage only influence thought and decisions.
The principle had been accepted and then abandoned by linguists
during the early 20th century following the changing perceptions of
social acceptance for the other especially after World War II.[4] The origin of formulated arguments against the acceptance of linguistic relativity is attributed to Noam Chomsky.[4]

goal is achieved on time, if not sooner.
They’d noticed that hard-to-compute terms called
“eigenvectors,” describing, in this case, the ways that neutrinos
propagate through matter, were equal to combinations of terms called
“eigenvalues,” which are far easier to compute. Moreover, they realized
that the relationship between eigenvectors and eigenvalues — ubiquitous
objects in math, physics and engineering that have been studied since
the 18th century — seemed to hold more generally.” – Natalie Wolchover
Neutrinos, which are sub-particles that interact with matter weakly,
have oscillations between different types that can be described by
eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In particular,
“The mathematical description of how neutrinos interact
with matter involves square arrays of numbers called matrices. Every
matrix has a set of characteristic numbers called eigenvalues; and along
with each eigenvalue goes a direction in space called an eigenvector.” –

A magnetic domain is a region within a magnetic material in which the magnetization is in an uniform direction. This means that the individual magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned with one another and they point in the same direction. When cooled below a temperature called the Curie temperature, the magnetization of a piece of ferromagnetic
material spontaneously divides into many small regions called magnetic
domains. The magnetization within each domain points in a uniform
direction, but the magnetization of different domains may point in
different directions. Magnetic domain structure is responsible for the
magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, cobalt and their alloys, and ferrimagnetic materials like ferrite. This includes the formation of permanent magnets and the attraction of ferromagnetic materials to a magnetic field. The regions separating magnetic domains are called domain walls,
where the magnetization rotates coherently from the direction in one
domain to that in the next domain. The study of magnetic domains is
called micromagnetics.

A nanopore is a pore of nanometer
size. It may, for example, be created by a pore-forming protein or as a
hole in synthetic materials such as silicon or graphene.
When a nanopore is present in an electrically insulating membrane, it can be used as a single-molecule detector. It can be a biological protein channel in a high electrical resistance lipid bilayer,
a pore in a solid-state membrane or a hybrid of these – a protein
channel set in a synthetic membrane. The detection principle is based on
monitoring the ionic current passing through the nanopore as a voltage
is applied across the membrane. When the nanopore is of molecular
dimensions, passage of molecules (e.g., DNA)
cause interruptions of the "open" current level, leading to a
"translocation event" signal. The passage of RNA or single-stranded DNA
molecules through the membrane-embedded alpha-hemolysin channel (1.5 nm
diameter), for example, causes a ~90% blockage of the current (measured
at 1 M KCl solution).[1]

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of human-made
chemicals that are found in a wide range of products used by consumers
and industry. There are nearly 5,000 different types of PFAS, some of
which have been more widely used and studied than others. Many PFAS are
resistant to grease, oil, water, and heat. For this reason, beginning in
the 1940’s, PFAS have been used in a variety of applications including
in stain- and water-resistant fabrics and carpeting, cleaning products,
paints, and fire-fighting foams. Certain PFAS are also authorized by the
FDA for limited use in cookware, food packaging, and food processing
equipment.
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens, which include bacteria, fungi, protozoa, worms, viruses, and even infectious proteins called prions.
Some of the most commonly used PFAS chemicals,
like PFOS and PFOA (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid and perfluorooctanoic
acid) have long half-lives, earning them the moniker “the forever chemical.” In tests of 44 different taps in 31 states, the EWG found that 43 exceeded a limit they deem safe by their own standards.
The membranes used for reverse osmosis have a dense layer in the polymer matrix—either the skin of an asymmetric membrane or an interfacially polymerized layer within a thin-film-composite membrane—where the separation occurs.
Desalination is a well established method of
removing salts from water in order to produce process water, ultrapure
or potable water. This is accomplished through using membranes (reverse
osmosis and nanofiltration) and thermal processes (multi effect
distillation, evaporation and crystallisation).

A reverse osmosis plant is a manufacturing plant where the process of reverse osmosis
takes place. Reverse osmosis is a common process to purify or
desalinate contaminated water by forcing water through a membrane.[1]
Water produced by reverse osmosis may be used for a variety of
purposes, including desalination, wastewater treatment, concentration of
contaminants, and the reclamation of dissolved minerals.[2] An average modern reverse osmosis plant needs six kilowatt-hours of electricity to desalinate one cubic metre of water.[3]
The process also results in an amount of salty briny waste. The
challenge for these plants is to find ways to reduce energy consumption,
use sustainable energy sources, improve the process of desalination and
to innovate in the area of waste management to deal with the waste. Self-contained water treatment plants using reverse osmosis, called reverse osmosis water purification units, are normally used in a military context.

In sociology and social psychology, an in-group is a social group to which a person psychologically identifies as being a member. By contrast, an out-group is a social group with which an individual does not identify. People may for example identify with their peer group, family, community,
sports team, political party, gender, religion, or nation. It has been
found that the psychological membership of social groups and categories
is associated with a wide variety of phenomena.
The terminology was made popular by Henri Tajfel and colleagues during his work in formulating social identity theory. The significance of in-group and out-group categorization was identified using a method called the minimal group paradigm.
Tajfel and colleagues found that people can form self-preferencing
in-groups within a matter of minutes and that such groups can form even
on the basis of completely arbitrary and invented discriminatory
characteristics, such as preferences for certain paintings.
Along with Marx and Weber, French sociologist Emile Durkheim is
considered one of the founders of sociology. One of Durkheim’s primary
goals was to analyze how how modern societies could maintain social
integration after the traditional bonds of family and church were
replaced by modern economic relations.
Durkheim believed that society exerted a powerful force on
individuals. People’s norms, beliefs, and values make up a collective
consciousness, or a shared way of understanding and behaving in the
world. The collective consciousness binds individuals together and
creates social integration. For Durkheim, the collective consciousness
was crucial in explaining the existence of society: it produces society
and holds it together. At the same time, the collective consciousness is
produced by individuals through their actions and interactions. Society
is a social product created by the actions of individuals that then
exerts a coercive social force back on those individuals. Through their
collective consciousness, Durkheim argued, human beings become aware of
one another as social beings, not just animals.
Formation of Collective Consciousness
According to Durkheim, the collective consciousness is formed through
social interactions. In particular, Durkheim thought of the close-knit
interactions between families and small communities, groups of people
who share a common religion, who may eat together, work together, and
spend leisure time together. Yet all around him, Durkheim observed
evidence of rapid social change and the withering away of these groups.
He saw increasing population density and population growth as key
factors in the evolution of society and the advent of modernity. As the
number of people in a given area increase, he posited, so does the
number of interactions, and the society becomes more complex. Population
growth creates competition and incentives to trade and further the
division of labor. But as people engage in more economic activity with
neighbors or distant traders, they begin to loosen the traditional bonds
of family, religion, and moral solidarity that had previously ensured
social integration. Durkheim worried that modernity might herald the
disintegration of society.
Durkheim and Modernity
Following a socioevolutionary approach reminiscent of Comte, Durkheim
described the evolution of society from mechanical solidarity to
organic solidarity. Simpler societies, he argued, are based on
mechanical solidarity, in which self-sufficient people are connected to
others by close personal ties and traditions (e.g., family and
religion). Also, in such societies, people have far fewer options in
life. Modern societies, on the other hand, are based on organic
solidarity, in which people are connected by their reliance on others in
the division of labor. Modernization, Durkheim argued, is based first
on population growth and increasing population density, second on
increasing “moral density” (that is, the development of more complex
social interactions), and third, on the increasing specialization in
work (i.e., the division of labor). Because modern society is complex,
and because the work that individuals do is so specialized, individuals
can no longer be self-sufficient and must rely on others to survive.
Thus, although modern society may undermine the traditional bonds of
mechanical solidarity, it replaces them with the bonds of organic
solidarity.
Organic versus Mechanical Solidarity
Further, Durkheim argued, the organic solidarity of modern societies
might have advantages over traditional mechanical solidarity. In
traditional societies, people are self-sufficient, and therefore society
has little need for cooperation and interdependence. Institutions that
require cooperation and agreement must often resort to force and
repression to keep society together. Traditional mechanical solidarity
may tend, therefore, to be authoritarian and coercive. In modern
societies, under organic solidarity, people are necessarily much more
interdependent. Specialization and the division of labor require
cooperation. Thus, solidarity and social integration are necessary for
survival and do not require the same sort of coercion as under
mechanical solidarity.
In organic solidarity, the individual is considered vitally
important, even sacred. In organic solidarity, the individual, rather
than the collective, becomes the focus of rights and responsibilities,
the center of public and private rituals holding the society together—a
function once performed by the religion. To stress the importance of
this concept, Durkheim talked of the ” cult of the individual. ”
However, he made clear that the cult of the individual is itself a
social fact, socially produced; reverence for the individual is not an
inherent human trait, but a social fact that arises in certain societies
at certain times.

A Dyck path is a staircase walk from to that lies strictly below (but may touch) the diagonal . The number of Dyck paths of order is given by the Catalan number. i.e., 1, 2, 5, 14, 42, 132, ... ( OEIS A000108).
In combinatorics, a lattice path in of length with steps in is a sequence such that each consecutive difference lies in.
A lattice path may lie in any lattice in, but the integer lattice is most commonly used.
An example of a lattice path in of length 5 with steps in
is.
Perlin noise is a type of gradient noise developed by Ken Perlin
in 1983 as a result of his frustration with the "machine-like" look of
computer-generated imagery at the time. He formally described his
findings in a SIGGRAPH paper in 1985 called An image Synthesizer
Gabriel's horn is a particular geometric figure that has infinite
surface area but finite volume. The name refers to the Christian
tradition that identifies the archangel Gabriel as the angel who blows
the horn to announce Judgment Day, associating the divine, or infinite,
with the finite.
Like their spiritual brethren at Fort Tabarsi, they did not wish to wage war - only to defeat the enemy of ignorance.
Avidyā is a Sanskrit word whose literal meaning is ignorance,
misconceptions, misunderstandings, incorrect knowledge, and it is the
opposite of Vidya.
The weapons they wielded were the swords of speech and reasoned argument. Their armor was knowledge and truth.
The phrase "Armor of God" (Greek: πανοπλίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ, panoplian tou Theou) is derived from Ephesians 6:11: "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (King James Version).[1]
As a biblical reference, the metaphor may refer to physical armour worn
by God in metaphorical battles, or it may refer to vigilant
righteousness in general as bestowed by the grace of God (Romans13:12,
King James Version): "The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let
us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
armour of light."
Their power lay in the shining splendor of
upright character and the fire of their love for the Bab. Armed with
these, they won the hearts and minds of people across the land. These
were the only victories they desired for the cause of the Bab.
Shani
(Sanskrit: शनि, Śani), or Śanaiśchara, refers to the planet Saturn, and
is one of the nine heavenly objects known as Navagraha in Hindu
astrology. ... He is the God of Justice in Hindu religion and delivers
results to all, depending upon their thoughts, speech and deeds (karma).
There are many legends associated with Shani Deva. One of them gives the story behind the disabilityof Shani.
To praise Lord Shani,
you should worship the Peepal tree – the king of trees. Every Saturday,
worship the Peepal tree either by pouring some mustard oil on its
branch or by worshipping it before the sunrise. You should also feed a
crow on Saturday as it is believed that Lord Shani charioted on a crow.
Shani is embodied in the planet Saturn and is the Lord of Saturday. He
is the son of Surya (sun) and his wife Chhaya (shadow), hence also known
as Chayyaputra. He is the elder brother of Yama, the Hindu god of
death, who in some scriptures corresponds to the deliverance of justice.
Surya's two sons Shani and Yama regarded as arbiters. Shani gives us the
results of one's deeds through one's life through appropriate
punishments and rewards; Yama grants the results of one's deeds after
death. Shani is also known as Saura (son of sun-god), Kruradris or
Kruralochana (the cruel-eyed), Mandu (dull and slow), Pangu (disabled),
Saptarchi (seven-eyed) and Asita (dark).
The name Shani comes from the root Sanaischara, meaning slow mover (in Sanskrit,
"Shani" means "the planet Saturn" and "chara" means "movement"); and
Shanivara is the Hindu name for Saturday, which is dedicated to Shani
Baghwan.
Ānāpānasati is now common to Tibetan, Zen, Tiantai and Theravada Buddhism as well as Western-based mindfulness
programs. Simply defined, Anapanasati is to feel the sensations caused
by the movements of the breath in the body as is practiced in the
context of mindfulness meditation.
Animism (from Latin: anima, 'breath, spirit, life')[1][2] is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence.
In physics, a gauge theory is a type of field theory in which the
Lagrangian does not change under local transformations from certain Lie
groups.
The term gauge refers to any specific mathematical formalism to regulate
redundant degrees of freedom in the Lagrangian
Perovskite(pronunciation: /pəˈrɒvskaɪt/) is a calcium titanium oxide mineral composed of calcium titanate (CaTiO3). Its name is also applied to the class of compounds which have the same type of crystal structure as CaTiO3 (XIIA2+VIB4+X2−3), known as the perovskite structure.
The chameleon is a hypothetical scalar particle that couples to matter more weakly than gravity, postulated as a dark energy candidate.
One particular form of skyrmions is magnetic skyrmions,
found in magnetic materials that exhibit spiral magnetism due to the
Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, double-exchange mechanism or
competing Heisenberg exchange interactions.
In physics, magnetic skyrmions are quasiparticles which have been
predicted theoretically and observed experimentally in condensed matter
systems. Skyrmions, named after British physicist Tony Hilton Royle
Skyrme, can be formed in magnetic materials in their 'bulk' such as in
MnSi, or in magnetic thin films.
Surfactants are compounds that lower the
surface tension (or interfacial tension) between two liquids, between a
gas and a liquid, or between a liquid and a solid.
In physics, the Heisenberg picture (also called the Heisenberg representation[1]) is a formulation (largely due to Werner Heisenberg in 1925) of quantum mechanics in which the operators (observables and others) incorporate a dependency on time, but the state vectors are time-independent, an arbitrary fixed basis rigidly underlying the theory.
It stands in contrast to the Schrödinger picture
in which the operators are constant, instead, and the states evolve in
time. The two pictures only differ by a basis change with respect to
time-dependency, which corresponds to the difference between active and passive transformations. The Heisenberg picture is the formulation of matrix mechanics in an arbitrary basis, in which the Hamiltonian is not necessarily diagonal.
It further serves to define a third, hybrid, picture, the interaction picture.
In physics, the Schrödinger picture (also called the Schrödinger representation[1]) is a formulation of quantum mechanics in which the state vectors evolve in time, but the operators (observables and others) are constant with respect to time.[2][3] This differs from the Heisenberg picture which keeps the states constant while the observables evolve in time, and from the interaction picture in which both the states and the observables evolve in time. The Schrödinger and Heisenberg pictures are related as active and passive transformations and commutation relations between operators are preserved in the passage between the two pictures.
The chain molecules in the fibers are highly oriented along the fiber axis. As a result, a higher proportion of the chemical bond contributes more to fiber strength than in many other synthetic fibers. Aramides have a very high melting point (>500 °C).
A protein–ligand complex is a complex of a protein bound with a ligand[2] that is formed following molecular recognition between proteins that interact with each other or with various other molecules. Formation of a protein-ligand complex is based on molecular recognition between biological macromolecules
and ligands, where ligand means any molecule that binds the protein
with high affinity and specificity. Molecular recognition is not a
process by itself since it is part of a functionally important mechanism
involving the essential elements of life like in self-replication, metabolism, and information processing. For example DNA-replication depends on recognition and binding of DNA double helix by helicase, DNA single strand by DNA-polymerase and DNA segments by ligase. Molecular recognition depends on affinity and specificity.
Specificity means that proteins distinguish the highly specific binding
partner from less specific partners and affinity allows the specific
partner with high affinity to remain bound even if there are high
concentrations of less specific partners with lower affinity.[3]
The first synthetic molecular trefoil knot was prepared
in the late 1980s. However, it is only in the last few years that more
complex small‐molecule knot topologies have been realized through
chemical synthesis. The steric restrictions imposed on molecular strands
by knotting can impart significant physical and chemical properties,
including chirality, strong and selective ion binding, and catalytic
activity. As the number and complexity of accessible molecular knot
topologies increases, it will become increasingly useful for chemists to
adopt the knot terminology employed by other disciplines. Here we give
an overview of synthetic strategies towards molecular knots and outline
the principles of knot, braid, and tangle theory appropriate to
chemistry and molecular structure.
Metals and metalloids are bound to ligands in virtually all
circumstances, although gaseous "naked" metal ions can be generated in a
high vacuum. Ligands in a complex dictate the reactivity of the central atom, including ligand substitution rates, the reactivity of the ligands themselves, and redox. Ligand selection is a critical consideration in many practical areas, including bioinorganic and medicinal chemistry, homogeneous catalysis, and environmental chemistry.
Ligands are classified in many ways, including: charge, size
(bulk), the identity of the coordinating atom(s), and the number of
electrons donated to the metal (denticity or hapticity). The size of a ligand is indicated by its cone angle.
Rotary International is an international service organization whose stated purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian service and to advance goodwill and peace around the world. It is a
non-political and non-sectarian organization open to all people
regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender, or political
preference. There are 34,282 member clubs worldwide, and 1.2 million
individuals, known as Rotarians, have joined.
Tissue
engineering (TE) is a rapidly evolving discipline that seeks to repair,
replace or regenerate tissues or organs by translating fundamental
knowledge in physics, chemistry and biology into practical and effective
materials, or devices and clinical strategies.37,38
A signal peptide (sometimes referred to as signal sequence, targeting signal, localization signal, localization sequence, transit peptide, leader sequence or leader peptide)
is a short peptide (usually 16-30 amino acids long) present at the
N-terminus of the majority of newly synthesized proteins that are
destined towards the secretory pathway.
The Golgi apparatus, also called Golgi complex or Golgi
body, is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells (cells
with clearly defined nuclei) that is made up of a series of flattened
stacked pouches called cisternae. It is located in the cytoplasm next to
the endoplasmic reticulum and near the cell nucleus.
The endoplasmic reticulum is a type of organelle found in
eukaryotic cells that forms an interconnected network of flattened,
membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structures known as cisternae.
A topogenic sequence is a collective term used for a peptide sequencepresent at nascent proteins essential for their insertion and orienting in cellular membranes.
It
has been likened to the cell's post office. A major function is the
modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion. It is also
involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of
lysosomes. The sacs or folds of the Golgi apparatus are called
cisternae.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
is a type of organelle found in eukaryotic cells that forms an
interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like
structures known as cisternae. The membranes of the ER are continuous
with the outer
nuclear membrane. The endoplasmic reticulum occurs in most types of
eukaryotic cells, but is absent from red blood cells and spermatozoa.
It may be helpful to define the Dyck language via a context-free grammar in some situations.
The Dyck language is generated by the context-free grammar with a single non-terminal S, and the production:
S → ε | "[" S "]" S
That is, S is either the empty string (ε) or is "[", an element of the Dyck language, the matching "]", and an element of the Dyck language.
Lattice
paths are often used to count other combinatorial objects. Similarly,
there are many combinatorial objects that count the number of lattice
paths of a certain kind. This occurs when the lattice paths are in bijection with the object in question. For example,

The collagens are a superfamily of proteins that play a role in
maintaining the integrity of various tissues. Collagens are
extracellular matrix proteins and have a triple-helical domain as their
common structural element. Collagen VI is a major structural component
of microfibrils. The basic structural unit of collagen VI is a
heterotrimer of the alpha1(VI), alpha2(VI), and alpha3(VI) chains. The
alpha2(VI) and alpha3(VI) chains are encoded by the COL6A2 and COL6A3
genes, respectively. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha 1
subunit of type VI collagen (alpha1(VI) chain). Mutations in the genes
that code for the collagen VI subunits result in the autosomal dominant
disorder, Bethlem myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Clinical characteristics.
Collagen type
VI-related disorders represent a continuum of overlapping phenotypes
with Bethlem myopathy at the mild end, Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) at the severe end, and two rare, less well-defined disorders – autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and autosomal recessive
myosclerosis myopathy – in between. Although Bethlem myopathy and
Ullrich CMD were defined long before their molecular basis was known,
they remain useful for clarification of prognosis and management.
Bethlem
myopathy, characterized by the combination of proximal muscle weakness
and variable contractures, affects most frequently the long finger
flexors, elbows, and ankles. Onset may be prenatal (characterized by
decreased fetal movements), neonatal (hypotonia or torticollis), in
early childhood (delayed motor milestones, muscle weakness, and
contractures), or in adulthood (proximal weakness and Achilles tendon or
long finger flexor contractures). Because of slow progression, more
than two thirds of affected
individuals over age 50 years rely on supportive means for outdoor
mobility. Respiratory involvement is rare and appears to be related to
more severe muscle weakness in later life.
Ullrich CMD is characterized by congenital weakness and hypotonia, proximal joint contractures, and striking hyperlaxity of distal joints. Some affected
children acquire the ability to walk independently; however,
progression of the disease often results in later loss of ambulation.
Early and severe respiratory involvement may require ventilatory support
in the first or second decade of life.

Good cheer from the Heart of Texas to champion a remedy across the pond.
Organic semiconductors are solids whose building blocks are pi-bondedmolecules or polymers made up by carbon and hydrogen atoms and – at times – heteroatoms such as nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen. They exist in form of molecular crystals or amorphous thin films. In general, they are electrical insulators, but become semiconducting when charges are either injected from appropriate electrodes, upon doping or by photoexcitation.
In mathematics, duality theory for distributive lattices
provides three different (but closely related) representations of
bounded distributive lattices via Priestley spaces, spectral spaces, and
pairwise Stone spaces.
Protein targeting or protein sorting is the biological mechanism by which proteins are transported to their appropriate destinations in the cell or outside it.
The piezoresistive effect is a change in the electrical resistivity of a semiconductor or metal when mechanical strain is applied. In contrast to the piezoelectric effect, the piezoresistive effect causes a change only in electrical resistance, not in electric potential.
A Priestley space is an ordered topological space(X,τ,≤), i.e. a set X equipped with a partial order ≤ and a topology τ, satisfying
the following two conditions:
(X,τ) is compact.
If ,then there exists a clopen up-set U of X such that x∈U and y∉ U. (This condition is known as the Priestley separation axiom.)

In genetics, a promoter is a region of DNA that initiates transcription of a particular gene.
Molecules in a fluid constantly collide off each other. The mean free time of a molecule in a fluid is the average time between collisions. The mean free path of the molecule is the product of the averagespeed and the mean free time. These concepts are used in the kinetic theory of gases to compute transport coefficients such as the viscosity.
In a gas the mean free path may be much larger than the average distance between molecules. In a liquid these two lengths may be very similar.
Groovy (or, less commonly, groovie or groovey) is a slangcolloquialism popular during the late 1950s, '60s and '70s. It is roughly synonymous with words such as "cool", "excellent", "fashionable", or "amazing", depending on context.
Agenda minutes is a document that documents the dynamics of a meeting specifically the salient activities and exchanges that took place. Minutes
templates comprehensively showcase how general and specific meetings

In mobile, web, and general application design, a similar symbol is sometimes used as an interface element, where it is called a hamburger icon. The element typically indicates that a navigation menu
can be accessed when the element is activated; the bars of the symbol
may be seen as stylized menu items, and some variations of this symbols
add more bars, or bullet points to each bar, to enhance this visual
similarity.[18] Usage of this symbol dates back to the early computer interfaces developed at Xerox PARC in the 1980s.[19] It is also similar to the icon frequently used to indicate justified text alignment. It is an oft-used component of Google'sMaterial Design guidelines and many Android apps and web apps that follow these guidelines make use of the hamburger menu.

In mathematics, specifically in geometric topology, surgery theory is a collection of techniques used to produce one finite-dimensional manifold from another in a 'controlled' way, introduced by John Milnor (1961). Originally developed for differentiable (or, smooth) manifolds, surgery techniques also apply to piecewise linear (PL-) and topological manifolds.
Surgery refers to cutting out parts of the manifold and replacing
it with a part of another manifold, matching up along the cut or
boundary. This is closely related to, but not identical with, handlebody decompositions. It is a major tool in the study and classification of manifolds of dimension greater than 3.
More technically, the idea is to start with a well-understood manifold M and perform surgery on it to produce a manifold M ′ having some desired property, in such a way that the effects on the homology, homotopy groups, or other invariants of the manifold are known.
An electret (formed of electr- from "electricity" and -et from "magnet") is a dielectric material that has a quasi-permanent electric charge or dipolepolarisation. An electret generates internal and external electric fields, and is the electrostatic equivalent of a permanent magnet. Although Oliver Heaviside
coined this term in 1885, materials with electret properties were
already known to science and had been studied since the early 1700s. One
particular example is the electrophorus,
a device consisting of a slab with electret properties and a separate
metal plate. The electrophorus was originally invented by Johan Carl Wilcke in Sweden and again by Alessandro Volta in Italy.
The laws of stoichiometry,
that is, the gravimetric proportions by which chemical elements
participate in chemical reactions, elaborate on the law of conservation
of mass. Joseph Proust's law of definite composition
says that pure chemicals are composed of elements in a definite
formulation; we now know that the structural arrangement of these
elements is also important.
Dalton's law of multiple proportions
says that these chemicals will present themselves in proportions that
are small whole numbers (i.e. 1:2 O:H in water); although in many
systems (notably biomacromolecules and minerals) the ratios tend to
require large numbers, and are frequently represented as a fraction.
Such compounds are known as non-stoichiometric compounds.
More modern laws of chemistry define the relationship between energy and transformations.
In equilibrium, molecules exist in mixture defined by the
transformations possible on the timescale of the equilibrium, and are in
a ratio defined by the intrinsic energy of the molecules—the lower the
intrinsic energy, the more abundant the molecule.
Transforming one structure to another requires the input of energy
to cross an energy barrier; this can come from the intrinsic energy of
the molecules themselves, or from an external source which will
generally accelerate transformations. The higher the energy barrier,
the slower the transformation occurs.
There is a hypothetical intermediate, or transition structure, that corresponds to the structure at the top of the energy barrier. The Hammond-Leffler Postulate
states that this structure looks most similar to the product or
starting material which has intrinsic energy closest to that of the
energy barrier. Stabilizing this hypothetical intermediate through
chemical interaction is one way to achieve catalysis.
All chemical processes are reversible (law of microscopic reversibility) although some processes have such an energy bias, they are essentially irreversible.
Important Laws of Physics 1.Archimedes Principle The
principle was discovered in 3rd century B.C. by the Greek
mathematician. Archimedes. It states that when a body is partially or
totally immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward thrust equal to
the weight of the fluid displaced by it that i.e. its apparent loss of
weight is equal to the weight of liquid displaced. 2. Avagadro’s Law In
1811 it was discovered by an Italian Scientist Anedeos Avagadro. This
law states that equal volume of all gases under the same conditions of
temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules. 3. Ohm's Law It
states that the current passing through a conductor between two points
is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two
points provided the physical state and temperature etc. of the conductor
does not change.
Law of Gravitation:
Objects attract each other with a force directly proportional to the
product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between them. Hence, for objects on or near the
earth, the mass of the earth is very much greater than the object, and
so the gravitational force between them makes objects fall towards the
earth. That is why lead and feather fall at the same rate in a vacuum. Newton’s First law of Motion A
body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight
line, except in so far as it is compelled by external impressed forces
to change that state. It is also called Law of Inertia. Newton’s Second Law of Motion The
rate of change of momentum is proportional to the impressed force and
takes place in the direction of the straight line in which the force
acts. In other words “Force is equal to mass multiplied by
acceleration”. Newton’s Third Law of Motion To every
action there is equal and opposite reaction. This is the principle
behind the recoil felt on pulling the trigger of a gun. Newton’s Law of cooling The
rate at which a body cools or loses its heat to its surroundings is
proportional to the excess of mean temperature of the body over that of
the surroundings, provided this temperature excess is not too large.
5. Coulomb’s Law (1738-1806) The force between
the two electric charges reduces to a quarter of its former value when
the distance between them is doubled. The SI unit of electric charge,
coulomb, is named after Charles Augustin de Coulomb who established the
law. 6. Stefan’s Law (1835-1883) The total energy radiated from a black body is equal to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.
7. Pascal’s Law (1623-1662) -
When pressure is applied to a fluid, the pressure change is transmitted
to every part of the fluid without loss. Hydraulic machines like the
hydraulic press work on this principle. - Atmospheric pressure
decreases with increase in height. The SI unit of pressure is pascal
which is named after Pascal who established this law. 8. Hooke’s Law (1635-1703) This
law states that the extension of a spring is proportional to the
tension stretching it. Doubling of the tension results in the doubling
of the amount of stretch. 9. Bernoulli's Principle It
states that as the speed of a moving fluid, liquid or gas, increases,
the pressure within the fluid decreases. The aerodynamic lift on the
wing of an aeroplane is also explained in part by this principle. 10. Boyles's Law It states that temperature remaining constant, volume of a given mass of a gas varies inversely with the pressure of the gas.
11. Charles's Law It states that pressure
remaining constant, the volume of a given mass of gas increases or
decreases by 1/273 part of its volume at 0 degree Celsius for each
degree Celsius rise or fall of its temperature. 12. Kepler's Law Each
planet revolves round the Sun in an elliptical orbit with the Sun at
one focus. The straight line joining the Sun and the planet sweeps out
equal areas in equal intervals. The squares of the orbital periods of
planets are proportional to the cubes of their mean distance from the
Sun. 13. Law of conservation of energy It states
that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be
transformed from one form to another. Since energy cannot be created or
destroyed, the amount of energy present in the universe is always remain
constant. 14. Tyndall effect The scattering of light by very small particles suspended in a gas or liquid. 15. Graham’s Law It
states that the rates of diffusion of gases are inversely proportional
to the square roots of their densities under similar conditions of
temperature and pressure.
The concept of Brownian motors is a recent one, having only been coined in 1995 by Peter Hänggi, but the existence of such motors in nature may have existed for a very long time and help to explain crucial cellular processes that require movement at the nanoscale, such as protein synthesis and muscular contraction. If this is the case, Brownian motors may have implications for the foundations of life itself.[3]

The irrational fear of the number 13 has been given a scientific name: "triskaidekaphobia"; and on analogy to this the fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia, from the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή, meaning "Friday"), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning "thirteen").[2]
According to folklore historian Donald Dossey, the unlucky nature of the number "13" originated with a Norse myth about 12 gods having a dinner party in Valhalla. The trickster god Loki, who was not invited, arrived as the 13th guest, and arranged for Höðr to shoot Balder
with a mistletoe-tipped arrow. Dossey: "Balder died, and the whole
Earth got dark. The whole Earth mourned. It was a bad, unlucky day."
This major event in Norse mythology caused the number 13 to be
considered unlucky.[3][4]
The superstition may have also arisen in the Middle Ages, "originating from the story of Jesus' last supper and crucifixion" in which there were 13 individuals present in the Upper Room on the 13th of Nisan Maundy Thursday, the night before his death on Good Friday.[5][6] While there is evidence of both Friday[7]
and the number 13 being considered unlucky, there is no record of the
two items being referred to as especially unlucky in conjunction before
the 19th century.

The triboelectric effect (also known as triboelectric charging) is a type of contact electrification on which certain materials become electrically charged after they are separated from a different material with which they were in contact.[1]
Rubbing the two materials each with the other increases the contact
between their surfaces, and hence the triboelectric effect. Rubbing
glass with fur for example, or a plastic comb through the hair, can
build up triboelectricity. Most everyday static electricity is triboelectric. The polarity
and strength of the charges produced differ according to the materials,
surface roughness, temperature, strain, and other properties.
The triboelectric effect is very unpredictable, and only broad generalizations can be made. Amber, for example, can acquire an electric charge by contact and separation (or friction) with a material like wool. This property was first recorded by Thales of Miletus. The word "electricity" is derived from William Gilbert's initial coinage, "electra", which originates in the Greek word for amber, ēlektron. The prefix tribo- (Greek for ‘rub’) refers to ‘friction’, as in tribology. Other examples of materials that can acquire a significant charge when rubbed together include glass rubbed with silk, and hard rubber rubbed with fur.
Pyroelectricity (from the two Greek words pyr meaning fire, and electricity) is a property of certain crystals which are naturally electrically polarized and as a result contain large electric fields.[1] Pyroelectricity can be described as the
ability of certain materials to generate a temporary voltage when they are heated or cooled.[2][3] The change in temperature modifies the positions of the atoms slightly within the crystal structure, such that the polarization
of the material changes. This polarization change gives rise to a
voltage across the crystal. If the temperature stays constant at its new
value, the pyroelectric voltage gradually disappears due to leakage current. (The leakage can be due to electrons moving through the crystal, ions moving through the air, or current leaking through a voltmeter attached across the crystal.)[3]
The Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the
Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman
Guard Extraordinary, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. In principle they are responsible for looking after any prisoners in the Tower and safeguarding the British crown jewels. They have also conducted guided tours of the Tower since the Victorian era.
The Yeomen Warders are often incorrectly referred to as Yeomen of the Guard, which is actually a distinct corps of Royal Bodyguards.
Why do they call them Beefeaters?
The Beefeater name
was carried over to the Yeomen Warders, due to the two corps' outward
similarities and the Yeoman Warders' more public presence. Beefeaters also commonly produced and consumed broths made of beef, which were described as rich and hearty.

VATICAN CITY (AP) —
Pope Francis vowed Friday to combat the sexual abuse of nuns and urged
religious sisters to just say no when clergy want to use them as maids.
Francis
told 850 superiors of religious orders gathered for the triennial
assembly of the International Union of Superiors General, the main
umbrella group of nuns, that theirs is a vocation of service, not
servitude.
The
union’s president, Maltese Sister Carmen Sammut, told Francis that
clergy abuse of sisters was “diffuse in many parts of the world,” and
included sexual abuse, spiritual abuse, as well as taking of their
property. She added that there were also cases of nuns abusing other
nuns.
In mathematics, a Priestley space is an orderedtopological space with special properties. Priestley spaces are named after Hilary Priestley who introduced and investigated them.[1] Priestley spaces play a fundamental role in the study of distributive lattices. In particular, there is a duality ("Priestley duality"[2]) between the category of Priestley spaces and the category of bounded distributive lattices.[3][4]

Satellite chromosomes or SAT-chromosomes are chromosomes that contain secondary constructs that serve as identifying markers. In addition to the centromere, one or more secondary constrictions can be observed in some chromosomes at metaphase. These chromosomes are called satellite chromosomes. In humans it is usually associated with the short arm of an acrocentric chromosome,[1] such as in the chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22.[2][3] The Y chromosome can also contain satellites, although these are thought to be translocations from autosomes.[4] The secondary constriction always keeps its position, so it can be used as markers to identify specific chromosomes.
The name derives from the small chromosomal segment behind the secondary constriction, called a satellite, named by Sergei Navashin, in 1912.[5]
Later, Heitz (1931) qualified the secondary constriction as the SAT
state (Sine Acido Thymonucleico, which means "without thymonucleic
acid"), because it didn't stain with the Feulgen reaction. With time, the term "SAT-chromosome" simply became a synonym and also an abbreviation for satellite chromosome.[6][7]
The satellite at metaphase appears to be attached to the chromosomes by a thread of chromatin.
SAT-chromosomes whose secondary constriction is associated with the formation of the nucleolus
are referred to as nucleolar SAT-chromosomes. There are at least 4 SAT
chromosomes in each diploid nucleus, and the constriction corresponds to
a nucleolar organizer (NOR), a region containing multiple copies of the 18S and 28Sribosomal genes that synthesize ribosomal RNA required by ribosomes. The appearance of secondary constrictions at NORs is thought to be due to rRNAtranscription and/or structural features of the nucleolus impeding chromosome condensation.[8]
The alphorn or alpenhorn or alpine
horn is a labrophone, consisting of a straight several-meter-long
wooden natural horn of conical bore, with a wooden cup-shaped
mouthpiece. It is used by mountain dwellers in the Swiss Alps, Austrian Alps, Bavarian Alps in Germany, French Alps, and elsewhere.
The Schuhplattler is a traditional style of folk dance popular in the regions of Bavaria and Tyrol
(southern Germany, Austria and the German-speaking regions of northern
Italy). In this dance, the performers stomp, clap and strike the soles
of their shoes (Schuhe), thighs and knees with their hands held flat (platt).
There are more than 150 basic Schuhplattlers, as well as marches and
acrobatic feats that are often interspersed with the basic dance in
performance. They may be seen today in Europe and in German immigrant
communities around the world. While the Schuhplattler is still largely
performed by adults, it has become increasingly popular with youngsters,
who love its colorful costumes and its bouncing, leaping, kicking and
choreographed horseplay.

In social philosophy, objectification is the act of treating a person, or sometimes an animal,[1] as an object or a thing. It is part of dehumanization, the act of disavowing the humanity of others. Sexual objectification, the act of treating a person as a mere object of sexual desire, is a subset of objectification, as is self-objectification, the objectification of one's self. In Marxism, the objectification of social relationships is discussed as "reification".
Dan
Dennett is a realist about experience, but a skeptic about qualia,
conceived as non-physical mental essences to which we have privileged
access when conscious. However, if we take qualia to be simply the
qualitative experiential contents by means of which we normally
individuate physical objects, then qualia are as real as the objects
they individuate, even though they can’t be located in the objective,
physical world.
Chromosome mapping is a technique used in autosomal DNA testing which allows the testee to determine which segments of DNA came from which ancestor. In order to map DNA segments on specific chromosomes
it is necessary to test a number of close family relatives. Ideally one
should test both parents, one of their children, and a number of first
to third cousins on both the maternal and paternal sides of the family.
Not everyone has close relatives available for testing or has the
funds to pay for such testing. Indeed, even if you did test all of your
first and second cousins you might not be able to map your entire
genome. In any case, the more first and second cousins you test, the
higher the percentage of your genome that you can map, at least back to
which parent or grandparent contributed any particular DNA segment.
Caution should be exercised when attempting to map smaller
segments, and particularly segments under 15 cM because of the high
false positive rate.

Magnetic immunoassay (MIA) is a novel type of diagnostic immunoassay using magnetic beads as labels in lieu of conventional enzymes (ELISA), radioisotopes (RIA) or fluorescent moieties (fluorescent immunoassays)[1]
to detect a specified analyte.MIA involves the specific binding of an
antibody to its antigen, where a magnetic label is conjugated to one
element of the pair.The presence of magnetic beads is then detected by a
magnetic reader (magnetometer)
which measures the magnetic field change induced by the beads. The
signal measured by the magnetometer is proportional to the analyte
(virus, toxin, bacteria, cardiac marker, etc.) concentration in the
initial sample.

A death midwife,[1] or death doula,[2] is a person who assists in the dying process, much like a midwife or doula
does with the birthing process. It is often a community based role,
aiming to help families cope with death through recognizing it as a
natural and important part of life. The role can supplement and go
beyond hospice. Practitioners perform a large variety of service,
including but not limited to creating death plans, and providing
spiritual, psychological, and social support before and just after
death. Their role can also include more logistical activities, helping
with services, planning funerals and memorial services, and guiding
mourners in their rights and responsibilities.[1]
The presence of the role of a modern death midwife has been
evolving in recent years, including a controversy over the regulation
process for the position and the use of the term "midwife" as opposed to
doula, and bills proposed to regulate the process and provide licenses
for death doulas. The terms "End of Life Guide," "Home Funeral Guide"
and "Celebrant" are also used.[3] The field has also seen a significant rise in training organizations, which train hospitals along with individuals.
There
is currently no national body that oversees certification requirements
for death midwifery, and little regulation. In comparison, there are
multiple regulatory bodies that ensure the education and practices of
traditional midwives, such as The Nursing and Midwifery Council.[13]
However, there have been a few measures to regulate and license
the practice of being a death midwife. In 2009, Senator Vicki Walker
from Oregon introduced SB 796. The bill aims to regulate "death care
consultants," in other words, death midwives and related professions.
After the bill passed in July, death doulas were required to be licensed
by the Oregon Mortuary and Cemetery board. The test they must pass to
gain a license covers Oregon and federal laws related to the care of
dead bodies.[14]
Twistronics (from twist and electronics) is the study of how the angle (the twist) between layers of two-dimensional materials can change their electrical properties.[1][2] Materials such as bilayer graphene have been shown to have vastly different electronic behavior, ranging from non-conductive to superconductive, that depends sensitively on the angle between the layers.[3][4]
The term was first introduced by the research group of Efthimios
Kaxiras at Harvard University in their theoretical treatment of graphene
superlattices.[1][5]
The
stunning emergence of a new type of superconductivity with the mere
twist of a carbon sheet has left physicists giddy, and its discoverer
nearly overwhelmed.
The discovery of graphene
shows how new physical properties emerge when a bulk crystal of
macroscopic dimensions is thinned down to one atomic layer. Like graphite, TMD bulk crystals are formed of monolayers bound to each other by van-der-Waals attraction. TMD monolayers have properties that are distinctly different from those of the semimetal graphene:
The TMD monolayer crystal structure has no inversion center, which
allows to access a new degree of freedom of charge carriers, namely the
k-valley index, and to open up a new field of physics: valleytronics[6][7][8][9]
The strong spin-orbit coupling in TMD monolayers leads to a spin-orbit splitting[10] of hundreds meV in the valence band and a few meV in the conduction band, which allows control of the electron spin by tuning the excitation laser photon energy and handedness.[11]
2D nature and high spin-orbit coupling of MoS2 can be used as promising material for spintronic application.[12]
The work on TMD monolayers is an emerging research and development field since the discovery of the direct bandgap[2] and the potential applications in electronics [13][3] and valley physics.[7][8][9] TMDs are often combined with other 2D materials like graphene and hexagonal boron nitride to make van der Waals heterostructures.
These heterostructures need to be optimized to be possibly used as
building blocks for many different devices such as transistors, solar cells, LEDs, photodetectors, fuel cells, photocatalytic
and sensing devices. Some of these devices are already used in everyday
life and can become smaller, cheaper and more efficient by using TMD
monolayers.[14][15] Others are still being developed and promise to have a huge impact on our technology.
Optoelectronics (or optronics) is the study and application of electronic devices and systems that source, detect and control light, usually considered a sub-field of photonics. In this context, light often includes invisible forms of radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet and infrared, in addition to visible light. Optoelectronic devices are electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical transducers, or instruments that use such devices in their operation.[1]Electro-optics is often erroneously used as a synonym, but is a wider branch of physics that concerns all interactions between light and electric fields, whether or not they form part of an electronic device.
Flip chip, also known as controlled collapse chip connection or its abbreviation, C4,[1] is a method for interconnecting semiconductor devices, such as IC chips and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), to external circuitry with solder bumps that have been deposited onto the chip pads. The technique was developed by General Electric's Light Military Electronics Dept., Utica, N.Y.[2] The solder bumps are deposited on the chip pads on the top side of the wafer during the final wafer processing step. In order to mount the chip to external circuitry (e.g., a circuit board
or another chip or wafer), it is flipped over so that its top side
faces down, and aligned so that its pads align with matching pads on the
external circuit, and then the solder is reflowed to complete the
interconnect. This is in contrast to wire bonding, in which the chip is mounted upright and wires are used to interconnect the chip pads to external circuitry.[3]
Flip chip (also known as direct chip attach) is the process whereby a
semiconductor die is attached bond pad side down to a substrate or
carrier. The electrical connection is made by means of a conductive bump
on the die bond pad. Once the die is connected the stand-off distance
between the die and substrate is typically filled with a non-conductive
adhesive referred to as underfill. The underfill provides stress relief
between the die and carrier, provides robustness, and protects the
component from any moisture ingress.
The Boltzmann equation or Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) describes the statistical behaviour of a thermodynamic system not in a state of equilibrium, devised by Ludwig Boltzmann in 1872.[2]
The classic example of such a system is a fluid with temperature gradients in space causing heat to flow from hotter regions to colder ones, by the random but biased transport of the particles
making up that fluid. In the modern literature the term Boltzmann
equation is often used in a more general sense, referring to any kinetic
equation that describes the change of a macroscopic quantity in a
thermodynamic system, such as energy, charge or particle number.
The equation arises not by analyzing the individual positions and momenta
of each particle in the fluid but rather by considering a probability
distribution for the position and momentum of a typical particle—that
is, the probability that the particle occupies a given very small region of space (mathematically the volume element ) centered at the position , and has momentum nearly equal to a given momentum vector (thus occupying a very small region of momentum space ), at an instant of time.
The equation is a nonlinearintegro-differential equation,
and the unknown function in the equation is a probability density
function in six-dimensional space of a particle position and momentum.
The problem of existence and uniqueness of solutions is still not fully
resolved, but some recent results are quite promising.[3][4]

London dispersion forces (LDF, also known as dispersion forces, London forces, instantaneous dipole–induced dipole forces, or loosely as van der Waals forces) are a type of force acting between atoms and molecules.[1] They are part of the van der Waals forces. The LDF is named after the German physicist Fritz London.
In algebraic geometry, flips and flops are codimension-2 surgery operations arising in the minimal model program, given by blowing up along a relative canonical ring.
In dimension 3 flips are used to construct minimal models, and any two
birationally equivalent minimal models are connected by a sequence of
flops. It is conjectured that the same is true in higher dimensions.
It is clear that plants are essential to animal life and form the bulk of most human diets, providing a diversity of food
through digestible carbohydrates. However, not all carbohydrates are
digestible. Indigestible carbohydrates are known as fibers.
Representation theory is a branch of mathematics that studies abstract algebraic structures by representing their elements as linear transformations of vector spaces, and studies modules
over these abstract algebraic structures. In essence, a representation
makes an abstract algebraic object more concrete by describing its
elements by matrices and its algebraic operations (for example, matrix
addition, matrix multiplication).
The theory of matrices and linear operators is well-understood, so
representations of more abstract objects in terms of familiar linear
algebra objects helps glean properties and sometimes simplify
calculations on more abstract theories.

In algebraic geometry, a Fano fibration or Fano fiber space, named after Gino Fano, is a morphism of varieties whose general fiber is a Fano variety (in other words has ample anticanonical bundle) of positive dimension. The ones arising from extremal contractions in the minimal model program are called Mori fibrations or Mori fiber spaces (for Shigefumi Mori). They appear as standard forms for varieties without a minimal model.

Bombyx mori, the domestic silk moth, is an insect from the mothfamilyBombycidae. It is the closest relative of Bombyx mandarina, the wild silk moth. The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of a silk moth. It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk. A silkworm's preferred food is white mulberry leaves, though they may eat other mulberry species and even Osage orange.
Domestic silk moths are closely dependent on humans for reproduction,
as a result of millennia of selective breeding. Wild silk moths are
different from their domestic cousins as they have not been selectively
bred; they are thus not as commercially viable in the production of
silk.

The threshold hypothesis is a hypothesis concerning second language acquisition set forth in a study by Cummins (1976[1]) that stated that a minimum threshold in language proficiency
must be passed before a second-language speaker can reap any benefits
from language. It also states that, in order to gain proficiency in a
second language, the learner must also have passed a certain and age appropriate level of competence in his or her first language.[2]
Sericulture, or silk farming, is the cultivation of silkworms to produce silk. Although there are several commercial species of silkworms, Bombyx mori
(the caterpillar of the domestic silkmoth) is the most widely used and
intensively studied silkworm. Silk was believed to have first been
produced in China as early as the Neolithic Period. Sericulture has become an important cottage industry in countries such as Brazil, China, France, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Russia. Today, China and India are the two main producers, with more than 60% of the world's annual production.

Schizopteridaeis the largest family in the infraorder Dipsocoromorpha and comprises 56 genera and approximately 255 species.[1][2][3]
Schizopterids are some of the smallest (0.5–2.0 mm) true bugs. Members
of this family can be distinguished by their small size, enlarged
forecoxae and varying degree of abdominal and genitalic asymmetry in
males. Schizopteridae exhibit a wide range of simple and complex wing
venation patterns–some species even possess true elytra. The group is
currently divided into three subfamilies: Schizopterinae, Ogeriinae and
Hypselosomatinae.[4]
An elytron (/ˈɛlaɪtrɒn/; from Greek ἔλυτρον "sheath, cover"; plural: elytra/-trə/)[1][2][3][failed verification – see discussion] is a modified, hardened forewing of certain insect orders, notably beetles (Coleoptera) and a few of the true bugs (Hemiptera) such as the family Schizopteridae; in most true bugs, the forewings are instead called hemelytra
(sometimes alternatively spelled as "hemielytra"), as only the basal
half is thickened while the apex is membranous. An elytron is sometimes
also referred to as a shard.[citation needed]
Zopherinaeis a subfamily of beetles, commonly known as ironclad beetles. Together with the subfamily Usechinae, they have been treated historically as a family, but have recently been joined by several additional taxa, making the Zopheridae
a much larger composite family, and the Zopherinae are now only a small
component within it, consisting of seven genera in the tribe Zopherini and one genus, Phellopsis in its own tribe (Phellopsini).
These beetles are apparently fungivores and associated with rotting wood, and as the common name implies, have one of the hardest of all arthropodexoskeletons;
in some species, it is almost impossible to drive an insect pin through
their bodies without using a small drill to make a hole first.
It is also a term used in botany to describe the delicate inner protective layer of a seed,[2] and in zoology to describe a stiff membrane on the upper surface of the crown of a crinoid.[3]
In vertebrate anatomy it denotes a plate of thin bone forming the roof of themiddle ear.[2]
Intriguing structures have been observed that link
sections of the diabolical ironclad beetle’s amazingly crush-resistant
armour. These findings suggest fresh approaches for making tough,
reliable joints for use in engineering.
In the theory of stochastic processes, a subdiscipline of probability theory, filtrations are

In computer science, an "array" is a general way of arranging data. ... (There can also be one-dimensional arrays or arrays with three or more dimensions). A "matrix" is a two-dimensional array that is taken to represent and store the values in the mathematical structure called a "matrix."
Perl has three built-in data types: scalars, arrays of scalars, and
associative arrays of scalars, known as "hashes". A scalar is a
single string (of any size, limited only by the available memory),

The particle-in-cell (PIC)
method refers to a technique used to solve a certain class of partial
differential equations. In this method, individual particles (or fluid
elements) in a Lagrangian frame are tracked in continuous phase space,

A single-page application (SPA) is a web application or web site
that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current page
rather than loading entire new pages from a server. This approach avoids
interruption of the user experience between successive pages, making the application behave more like a desktop application. In an SPA, either all necessary code – HTML, JavaScript, and CSS – is retrieved with a single page load,[1] or the appropriate resources are dynamically loaded
and added to the page as necessary, usually in response to user
actions. The page does not reload at any point in the process, nor does
control transfer to another page, although the location hash or the HTML5History API can be used to provide the perception and navigability of separate logical pages in the application.[2] Interaction with the single-page application often involves dynamic communication with the web server behind the scenes.

highly compact structure.
Circle Circle Dot Dot
The song derives from an American children's playground song, "circle circle, dot dot", that supposedly serves to immunize a child from the affliction of cooties. The words are as follows:
Circle, circle.
Dot, dot.
Now you got your cootie shot.
The words circle and dot are accompanied by the corresponding shape
meaning in the shape of two circles with dots in the middle being
traced (or, in some cases, drawn with a pen or marker) on the
recipient's hand or arm.
If the cootie shot was self-administered, "you" and "your" may be
substituted with "I" and "my". In some areas a self-administered shot is
not considered effective (the "shot" is considered to have been already
infected with cooties).
There are also several variations:
Circle circle,
knife knife.
Now you got your shot for life.
Circle, circle.
Square, square.
Now you have it everywhere. (Or "Now it will stay there.")
Circle, circle.
Line, line.
Now you have it all the time. (Or "Now I'm protected all the time.")
The behavior of superconductors suggests that electron pairs are
coupling over a range of hundreds of nanometers, three orders of
magnitude larger than the lattice spacing. Called Cooper pairs, these coupled electrons can take the character of a boson and condense into the ground state.
In computer science, the clique problem is the computational problem of finding cliques (subsets of vertices, all adjacent to each other, also called completesubgraphs) in a graph.
It has several different formulations depending on which cliques, and
what information about the cliques, should be found. Common formulations
of the clique problem include finding a maximum clique
(a clique with the largest possible number of vertices), finding a
maximum weight clique in a weighted graph, listing all maximal cliques
(cliques that cannot be enlarged), and solving the decision problem of testing whether a graph contains a clique larger than a given size.
In physics, the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert
equation, named for Lev Landau and Evgeny Lifshitz and T. L. Gilbert,
is a name used for a differential equation describing the precessional
motion of magnetization M in a solid. It is a modification by Gilbert of the original equation of Landau and Lifshitz.
In probability theory, Foster's theorem, named after Gordon Foster,[1] is used to draw conclusions about the positive recurrence of Markov chains with countable state spaces. It uses the fact that positive recurrent Markov chains exhibit a notion of "Lyapunov stability" in terms of returning to any state while starting from it within a finite time interval.
LTS stands for "low temperature superconductor," which typically refers
to Nb-based alloys (most commonly Nb-47wt.%Ti) and A15 (Nb3Sn and Nb3Al)
superconductors that were already in use prior to the discovery of
"high temperature" copper-oxide superconductors in 1986. "Temperature"
here refers to the temperature below which the superconductor must be
cooled in order for it to become superconducting; for LTS
superconductors that temperature is usually well below 20 K (-253°C).
Surface plasmons (SPs) are the coherent collective electrons oscillating

The wisdom of the crowd is the collective opinion of a group of individuals rather than that of a single expert. This process, while not new to the Information Age, has been pushed into the mainstream spotlight by social information sites such as Quora, Stack Exchange, Wikipedia, Yahoo! Answers, and other web resources that rely on collective human knowledge.[1]
An explanation for this phenomenon is that there is idiosyncratic noise
associated with each individual judgment, and taking the average over a
large number of responses will go some way toward canceling the effect
of this noise.[2]
Trial by jury can be understood as at least partly relying on
wisdom of the crowd, compared to bench trial which relies on one or a
few experts. In politics, sometimes sortition is held as an example of what wisdom of the crowd would look like. Decision-making would happen by a diverse group instead of by a fairly homogenous political group or party. Research within cognitive science has sought to model the relationship between wisdom of the crowd effects and individual cognition.
A large group's aggregated answers to questions involving
quantity estimation, general world knowledge, and spatial reasoning has

Nice looking website you've got there. It'd be a shame if someone DDoS'd it.
In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to the Internet.
Denial of service is typically accomplished by flooding the targeted
machine or resource with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload
systems and prevent some or all legitimate requests from being
fulfilled.[1]
In a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack),
the incoming traffic flooding the victim originates from many different
sources. This effectively makes it impossible to stop the attack simply
by blocking a single source.
A DoS or DDoS attack is analogous to a group of people crowding
the entry door of a shop, making it hard for legitimate customers to
enter, thus disrupting trade.
The Free Software Foundation has recommended that the GNU AGPLv3
be considered for any software that will commonly be run over a network.[2] The Free Software Foundation explains the need for the license in the case when a free program is run on a server:[6]
The GNU Affero General Public License is a modified version of the
ordinary GNU GPL version 3. It has one added requirement: if you run a
modified program on a server and let other users communicate with it
there, your server must also allow them to download the source code
corresponding to the modified version running there.
The purpose of the GNU Affero GPL is to prevent a problem that
affects developers of free programs that are often used on servers.

In December 1848 Mírzá Yahyá was a member of a small party led by
Bahá’u’lláh that was arrested in Mazandaran near the Bábí fortress at
Shaykh Tabarsí, to which they were bringing provisions. The entire party
was taken in shackles to Amul, where the prisoners were interrogated
and threatened with being bastinadoed or executed. Bahá’u’lláh insisted
on bearing punishment on behalf of His companions, and His feet were
beaten until they bled. Subsequently, He and the rest of the party were
freed but prohibited from reaching their destination.
By May 1849 virtually all the Bábís at Shaykh Tabarsí had been
killed, and the role of leadership had fallen increasingly on
Bahá’u’lláh. The Báb, imprisoned in the remote mountains of Azerbaijan,
wrote letters that conferred on the teenaged Mírzá Yahyá a high station
and leading role, giving him such titles as Mir’átu’l-Azalíyyih (Everlasting Mirror), Ismu’l-Azal (Name of Eternity), and Thamara-i-Azalíyyih (the Eternal Fruit). Subh-i-Azal appears to have been a title that Mírzá Yahyá took for himself.

David Koresh (/kəˈrɛʃ/; born Vernon Wayne Howell; August 17, 1959 – April 19, 1993) was an American cult leader[2][3][4] and musician who played a central role in the Waco siege of 1993.[5][6] As the head of the Branch Davidians sect,[7] an offshoot of the Davidian Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Koresh claimed to be its final prophet.
Coming from a dysfunctional background, Koresh was a member and later a leader of the Branch Davidians, a movement originally led by Benjamin Roden, based at the Mount Carmel Center outside Waco, Texas. Here, Koresh competed for dominance with another leader, Benjamin Roden's son George, until the younger Roden was jailed for murdering yet another rival.[8]
Inclusive considerations for Constitutional Freedom of Religion as a convention of our society in the United States has many tangents of consideration: Shahid and Shaheed (Arabic: شهيد šahīd , plural: شُهَدَاء šuhadāʾ ; female: šahīda ) originates from the Quranic Arabic word meaning "witness" and is also used to denote a martyr.
