Measured on the pH scale, soil acidity is an invisible condition that directly affects soil fertility and toxicity by determining which elements in the soil are available for absorption by plants. Increases in soil acidity are caused by... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=13441556 | 1,802,338 |
320,705 | Different aircraft types have different stalling characteristics but they only have to be good enough to satisfy their particular Airworthiness authority. For example, the Short Belfast heavy freighter had a marginal nose drop which was acceptable to the Royal Air Force.

1,453,545 | Critics of the model, such as August Piper, argue that the logic that childhood trauma causes insanity has a serious flaw: If the claim was true, the abuse of millions of children over the years should have caused higher prevalence rates of mental disorders than the literature reveals. Other critics, particularly propo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=4873216 | 1,452,728 |
203,281 | Plants can be propagated by seed, cuttings, and tissue culture. Seeds are usually sown on damp chopped "Sphagnum" moss, or on sterile plant tissue culture media once they have been properly disinfected.

1,089,985 | Although most fMRI research uses BOLD contrast imaging as a method to determine which parts of the brain are most active, because the signals are relative, and not individually quantitative, some question its rigor.

1,871,313 | Current PrP detection methods are time-consuming and employ "post mortem" analysis after suspicious animals manifest one or more symptoms of the disease. Current diagnostic methods are based mainly on detection of physiochemical differences between PrP and PrP which, to date, are the only reliable markers for TSEs.

275,703 | Although Fermi calculations are often not accurate, as there may be many problems with their assumptions, this sort of analysis does tell us what to look for to get a better answer. For the above example, we might try to find a better estimate of the number of pianos tuned by a piano tuner in a typical day, or look up ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=406885 | 275,553 |
2,016,209 | The account of the first species of each genus, such as the vulture genus "Neophron", includes a paragraph on "Generic Characters", describing the beak, legs, wings and any distinguishing features useful for identification.

780,072 | Interest in copernicium's chemistry was sparked by predictions that it would have the largest relativistic effects in the whole of period 7 and group 12, and indeed among all 118 known elements. Copernicium is expected to have the ground state electron configuration [Rn] 5f 6d 7s and thus should belong to group 12 of t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=67958 | 779,655 |
266,541 | Pauling's second rule is that the value of the first p"K" for acids of the formula XO(OH) depends primarily on the number of oxo groups "m", and is approximately independent of the number of hydroxy groups "n", and also of the central atom X. Approximate values of p"K" are 8 for "m" = 0, 2 for "m" = 1, −3 for "m" = 2 a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=57555 | 266,397 |
1,789,559 | Flaccid paralysis can cause muscles to atrophy or lose mass over time. Twitches in the affected muscle fibres (fasciculations) may be present.
