It is a poisonous, syrupy liquid with a fishy odor. Neurine is a quaternary ammonium salt with three methyl groups and one vinyl group attached to the nitrogen ato... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurine |
The QLZ-87 (also known as Type 87) 35 mm automatic grenade launcher (AGL) is an air-cooled, gas operated fully automatic weapon and is crew transportable (12~20 kg) with limited amounts of ammunition. Unusual for handheld grenade launchers, the QLZ-87 fires 35x32 mmSR high-velocity grenades, which provides longer range... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QLZ-87_grenade_launcher |
These doors help to: Prevent people from accidentally falling onto the tracks, getting too close to moving trains, and committing suicide (by jumping) or homicide (by pushing). Prevent or reduce wind felt by the passengers caused by the piston effect which could in some circumstances make people lose their balance.

In order to be able to compete in Antique tractor pull competitions a tractor must perform at its original speed. Some pulling competitions will have a ‘dyno’, connecting the PTO shaft on the tractor to a dynamometer to test the horsepower. If a tractor shows it has more horsepower than the original tractor is supposed... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractor_pulling |
This method is predominant in large-scale vegetable growing, with millions of acres cultivated under plastic mulch worldwide each year. Disposal of plastic mulch is cited as an environmental problem but there are also degradable plastic mulches. Rock and gravel can also be used as a mulch. In cooler climates the heat r... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulch |
If the train slows down much earlier, given the right timing, it reaches the distant signal just when the home signal switches to green, and so does not need to stop. Thus, wear on the brakes is reduced and the train uses less energy. But the main reason, especially for trains that accelerate slowly, is that the train ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_speed_optimization |
Drum scanners capture image information with photomultiplier tubes (PMT), rather than the charge-coupled device (CCD) arrays found in flatbed scanners and inexpensive film scanners. "Reflective and transmissive originals are mounted on an acrylic cylinder, the scanner drum, which rotates at high speed while it passes t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanned_images |
Some abnormalities in the average size or shape of some regions of the brain have been found in some disorders, reflecting genes and experiences. Studies of schizophrenia have tended to find enlarged ventricles and sometimes reduced volume of the cerebrum and hippocampus, while studies of (psychotic) bipolar disorder h... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_mental_disorders |
Since then, additional genes have been found (SMC1A, SMC3 and HDAC8, RAD21) that cause CdLS when changed. In July 2012, the fourth "CdLS gene"—HDAC8—was announced. HDAC8 is an X-linked gene, meaning it is located on the X chromosome. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelia_de_Lange_syndrome |
This is due to the inability to properly isolate the ENAs without large costs due to their association with complexes in the nucleus of the cell. Another worry with the ELISA technique is that anti-Sm antibodies have been reported in patients without SLE which would lead to over-investigating, but could be due to the q... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extractable_nuclear_antigen |
