Salt, sugar or both are added to autoclaved, homogenized milk via a sterile solution. This mixture is then inoculated with Penicillium roqueforti. This solution is first incubated for three to four days at 21–25 °C (70–77 °F). | Wikipedia - Blue cheese - Penicillium roqueforti inoculum |
More salt and/or sugar is added and then aerobic incubation is continued for an additional one to two days. Alternatively, sterilized, homogenized milk and reconstituted non-fat solids or whey solids are mixed with sterile salt to create a fermentation medium. A spore-rich Penicillium roqueforti culture is then added. | Wikipedia - Blue cheese - Penicillium roqueforti inoculum |
Next, modified milk fat is added which consists of milk fat with calf pre-gastric esterase. This solution is prepared in advance by an enzyme hydrolysis of a milk fat emulsion.

In the first phase of the war the Ottomans had been able to conquer most of the Caucasus. Özdemiroğlu Osman Pasha (Özdemir Pasha’s son) was appointed as the governor of the newly conquered territories. The capital of his province was Derbend at the Caspian coast. | Wikipedia - Battle of Torches - Background |
However, after the Ottoman army returned to its main base in Istanbul, the Persians under Imam Kulu began to regain some of their former territories. Although an army from the Crimean Khanate (which was an Ottoman vassal) under Adil Giray was sent to the Caucasus in summer 1579 as a reinforcement, they were routed by H... | Wikipedia - Battle of Torches - Background |

In the first proof, one was able to determine the coefficients Bi of B based on the right-hand fundamental relation for the adjugate only.

To see that quotient and remainder are unique (which is the important part of the statement here), it suffices to write P Q + r = P Q ′ + r ′ {\displaystyle PQ+r=PQ'+r'} as P ( Q − Q ′ ) = r ′ − r {\displaystyle P(Q-Q')=r'-r} and observe that since P is monic, P(Q−Q′) cannot have a degree less than that of P, unless Q ... | Wikipedia - Cayley–Hamilton theorem - A synthesis of the first two proofs |
In addition to proving the theorem, the above argument tells us that the coefficients Bi of B are polynomials in A, while from the second proof we only knew that they lie in the centralizer Z of A; in general Z is a larger subring than R, and not necessarily commutative. In particular the constant term B0 = adj(−A) lie... | Wikipedia - Cayley–Hamilton theorem - A synthesis of the first two proofs |

In the first reaction, NH+4 + HCO−3 is equivalent to NH3 + CO2 + H2O. Thus, the overall equation of the urea cycle is: NH3 + CO2 + aspartate + 3 ATP + 3 H2O → urea + fumarate + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + AMP + PPi + H2OSince fumarate is obtained by removing NH3 from aspartate (by means of reactions 3 and 4), and PPi + H2O → 2 Pi, ... | Wikipedia - Urea cycle - Overall reaction equation |
This provides the ammonium ion used in the initial synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate. The fumarate released in the cytosol is hydrated to malate by cytosolic fumarase. This malate is then oxidized to oxaloacetate by cytosolic malate dehydrogenase, generating a reduced NADH in the cytosol. | Wikipedia - Urea cycle - Overall reaction equation |
Oxaloacetate is one of the keto acids preferred by transaminases, and so will be recycled to aspartate, maintaining the flow of nitrogen into the urea cycle.We can summarize this by combining the reactions: CO2 + glutamate + aspartate + 3 ATP + 2 NAD++ 3 H2O → urea + α-ketoglutarate + oxaloacetate + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + AMP ... | Wikipedia - Urea cycle - Overall reaction equation |

In the first sentence of An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), Adam Smith foresaw the essence of industrialism by determining that division of labour represents a substantial increase in productivity.

However, in a further chapter of the same book, Smith criticised the division of labour, saying that it makes man "as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become" and that it can lead to "the almost entire corruption and degeneracy of the great body of the people.…unless the government takes so... | Wikipedia - Labor specialization - Adam Smith |
