1,505,643 | GCTA heritability estimates are useful because they provide lower bounds for the genetic contributions to traits such as intelligence without relying on the assumptions used in twin studies and other family and pedigree studies, thereby corroborating them and enabling the design of well-powered genome-wide association ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=50613151 | 1,504,797 |
1,926,176 | JETS hosts their annual TEAMS competition. TEAMS is an annual theme-based competition for students in grades 9-12, aimed at giving them the opportunity to discover engineering and how they can make a difference in the world.

1,756,584 | Tungsten ditelluride can be exfoliated into thin sheets down to single layers. Monolayer WTe was initially predicted to remain a Weyl semimetal in the 1T' crystal phase. It was later shown with transport measurements that, below 50K, a single layer of WTe instead acts like an insulator but with an offset current indepe... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5439302 | 1,755,593 |
2,150,077 | Table-top laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy had been developed by some research groups.

751,379 | For sexually reproducing populations, studies have shown that single-celled bottlenecks are beneficial for resisting mutation build-up. Passaging a population through a single-celled bottleneck involves the fertilization event occurring with haploid sets of DNA, forming one fertilized cell. For example, humans undergo ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=661661 | 750,981 |

1,332,944 | By chance, both spacecraft flew over cratered regions and missed both the giant northern volcanoes and the equatorial grand canyon discovered later. Their approach pictures did, however, photograph about 20 percent of the planet's surface, showing the dark features long seen from Earth – in the past, these features had... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=38782 | 1,332,215 |
608,198 | The Stoics explained perception as a transmission of the perceived quality of an object, by means of the sense organ, into the percipient's mind. The quality transmitted appears as a disturbance or impression upon the corporeal surface of that "thinking thing," the soul. In the example of sight, a conical pencil of ray... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=23008428 | 607,887 |
1,203,664 | "On the Principles of the Universe" is preserved in Arabic translation.

1,382,101 | The proposed structures go beyond the wire/SRR composites in that they do not rely on SRRs to synthesize the material parameters, thus leading to dramatically increased operating bandwidths. Moreover, their unit cells are connected through a transmission-line network and they may, therefore, be equipped with lumped ele... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=24454437 | 1,381,338 |
1,017,875 | Overall, the Magna and Verada AWD failed to provide any noticeable boost in sales.

45,092 | Having formulated the relativistic, geometric version of the effects of gravity, the question of gravity's source remains. In Newtonian gravity, the source is mass.
