Even those voters who are moderate supporters of the incumbent party may be disenfranch... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_seat |
We want to find a variety X ′ {\displaystyle X'} birational to X {\displaystyle X} , and a morphism f: X ′ → Y {\displaystyle f\colon X'\to Y} to a projective variety Y {\displaystyle Y} such that dim Y < dim X ′ , {\displaystyle \dim Y<\dim X',} with the anticanonical class − K F {\displaystyle -K_{F}} of a genera... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_model_program |
Examples of hydrophobic molecules include the alkanes, oils, fats, and greasy substances in general. Hydrophobic materials are used for oil removal from water, the management of oil spills, and chemical separation processes to remove non-polar substances from polar compounds.Hydrophobic is often used interchangeably wi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobic_interaction |
(See also: Crematogaster peringueyi.) Because the ants compete for exclusive usage of a given tree, some species employ tactics to reduce the chance of a hostile ant invasion. Crematogaster nigriceps ants trim the buds of trees to reduce their lateral growth, thereby reducing chances of contact with a neighbouring tree... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistling_thorn |
The Prātiśākhyas claim that the "dental" consonants were articulated from the teeth ridge (dantamūlīya, alveolar), but they became dentals later, whereas most other authorities including Pāṇini designate them as dentals. The Prātiśākhyas are inconsistent about but generally claim that it was also a dantamūlīya. Accord... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_Sanskrit |
The rotating blades of windmills on modern wind farms can return the radar beam to the radar if they are in its path. Since the blades are moving, the echoes will have a velocity and can be mistaken for real precipitation. The closer the wind farm, the stronger the return, and the combined signal from many towers is st... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_radar |
(See also Cape York (Mars)) In December the Homestake formation was analyzed, which was concluded to be formed of gypsum. Using three of the rover's instruments - the Microscopic Imager, the Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer and the Panoramic Camera's filters - researchers determined the deposit to be hydrated calcium ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_mission_timeline |
The Telfairs included former Governor Edward Telfair, Congressman Thomas Telfair (Edward Telfair's son), and Mary Telfair (1791–1875), benefactor of Savannah's Telfair Museum of Art. Telfair Academy overlooks the western side of the square. The square also contains tributes to the Girl Scouts of the USA, founded by Sav... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squares_of_Savannah,_Georgia |
12BY7 was an immediate successor to the 12BV7 and provided the same overall amplification values, but had slightly higher screen dissipation and voltage ratings. The tube exhibited slightly lower transconductance ratings (11 mS vs the original specification of 13 mS) as a result of this change. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12BV7 |
The US Food and Drug Administration has classified Arnica montana as an unsafe herb because of its toxicity. It should not be taken orally or applied to broken skin where absorption can occur. Arnica irritates mucous membranes and may elicit stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. It may produce contact dermatitis when a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnica_montana |
In 2013 ZA architects proposed having digging robots build a Mars habitat underground. They chose an interior inspired by Fingal's Cave and noted the increased protection from high-energy radiation below ground. On the other hand, the issue of the difficulty of sending digging robots that must construct the habitat ver... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_habitat |
Anthrax can enter the human body through the intestines (ingestion), lungs (inhalation), or skin (cutaneous) and causes distinct clinical symptoms based on its site of entry. In general, an infected human is quarantined. However, anthrax does not usually spread from an infected human to an uninfected human. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthrax |
This is due to the dysfunction of dephosphorylation mechanisms at specific amino acids on the tau protein. Tau dephosphorylation is catalysed by protein phosphatase-2A and phosphatase-2B. Deficiency or modification of one or both proteins may be involved in abnormal phosphorylation of tau in Alzheimer's diseaseDephosph... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dephosphorylation |
