But, in the last few decades with the rise of the 2nd feminist movement, female archaeology students began rejecting prior assumptions about gender and experiences in the past because they believed these assumptions distorted societi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=1326558 | 1,724,362 |
2,065,353 | The ERAfrica initiative (2010–2014) funded by the Seventh Framework Programme has enabled European and African countries to launch joint calls for proposals in three thematic fields: Renewable Energy; Interfacing Challenges; and New Ideas; this has resulted in 17 collaborative research projects being backed by €8.3 mil... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=53878552 | 2,064,162 |
302,600 | Ultimately, in the rapid manoeuvre warfare often practised in the open desert of North Africa, the Matilda's low speed and unreliable steering mechanism became major problems. Another snag was the lack of a high-explosive shell (the appropriate shell existed but was not issued).

1,625,000 | To function or even survive as full-length RNA in extracellular environments, exRNA must be protected from digestion by RNases. This requirement does not apply to prokaryotic syntrophy, where digested nucleotides are recycled. exRNA can be shielded from RNases by RNA binding proteins (RBPs), on their own or within/asso... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=38289515 | 1,624,084 |
1,563,253 | Early mission operations focused on engineering commissioning of the satellites and adjustments to the spacing between them.

837,893 | As the air enters the engine at supersonic or hypersonic speeds, it becomes hotter than the engine can withstand due to compression effects.

1,519,506 | Corpus-assisted discourse studies aim to uncover "non-obvious meaning", that is, meaning which might not be readily available to naked-eye perusal. Much of what carries meaning in texts is not open to direct observation: “you cannot understand the world just by looking at it” (Stubbs [after Gellner 1959] 1996: 92).
