wikipedia_2018-308 | Specialized export proteins exist for translocation of mature mRNA and tRNA to the cytoplasm after post @-@ transcriptional modification is complete . This quality @-@ control mechanism is important due to these molecules ' central role in protein translation .

wikipedia_2018-310 | Bowfin , like other <unk> such as bichirs ( <unk> ) , gars ( Lepisosteidae ) , and the <unk> ( <unk> ) , are capable of bimodal respiration . They can extract oxygen from the water when breathing through their gills , and can also break the water 's surface to breathe or gulp air through a small pneumatic duct connected from their foregut to the gas bladder . When performing low @-@ level physical activity , bowfin obtain more than half of their oxygen from breathing air . Bowfin have two distinct air @-@ breathing mechanisms used to ventilate the gas bladder . Type I air breaths are consistent with the action of exhale @-@ inhale stimulated by aerial or aquatic hypoxia to regulate O2 gas exchange ; type II air breaths are by inhalation alone which is believed to regulate gas bladder volume for buoyancy control . <unk> respiration helps bowfin survive and maintain their metabolic rate in hypoxic conditions . The rate of air breathing is higher in darkness , when the fish is more active . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-319 | Conversely , Entertainment Weekly called The Force Unleashed the second worst game of 2008 and GameTrailers called it the most disappointing game that year ; it was also a nominee for GameSpot 's Most Disappointing Game recognition . Official Xbox Magazine cited the game 's linear gameplay and lack of multiplayer as reasons the game falls short of being " an all @-@ engrossing Star Wars experience " . <unk> suggested that allowing players to take a hack @-@ and @-@ slash approach means many " will never view the title 's full potential " . IGN and X @-@ Play criticized some boss battles and enemies ' behavior ; GamePro also faulted " disappointing " boss battles and the game 's " uneven " combat . Rather than feeling more powerful as the game progresses , GamePro felt that increases in Starkiller 's powers were dampened by increasingly difficult enemy abilities and positions ; X @-@ Play commented that despite a good level @-@ up system , Starkiller and his enemies are " pretty much on even ground most of the time " . Wired.com , X @-@ Play , and GameSpot criticized the game 's third @-@ person camera and the sequence that requires the player to make Starkiller pull a Star Destroyer out of the sky . Wired.com speculated that LucasArts could have recognized the frustration of the Star Destroyer sequence and removed it , but left it in because they hyped the sequence before the game 's release . Wired.com and GameSpot further criticized the load times and abrupt gameplay @-@ cinematic transitions . GameSpot also faulted " loose " targeting and some visual and audio glitches . IGN , which also identified problems with targeting , speculated that DMM 's processor <unk> limited its use throughout the game , detracting from players ' ability to feel immersed . GameTrailers and IGN were disappointed with the lack of variety within and between levels . X @-@ Play , pointing to " Default Text " as the bonus objective description in the Xbox 360 version 's final mission and other glitches , said it seems the developers one day " just stopped working on the game " . GameSpot cited the port 's lack of visual options and poor framerate as evidence the PC edition had been rushed . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-320 | The lead was given to the less important Agent Bronx , a Peruvian socialite named Elvira Chaudoir , who communicated with her German handlers via letter . From April 1944 , she had also begun sending codes as telegrams , which were faster than letters in the event of an imminent invasion . Her code was based on a financial theme , assigning different amounts of money to possible invasion sites . Mentioning her doctor ( almost certain ) or dentist ( certain ) showed Chaudoir 's confidence in the information . Asking for the money " straight away " , " urgently " or " quickly " identified when the invasion would take place ( within a week , a fortnight or a month , respectively ) . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-321 | In an interview , Abrams said that he had never seen Star Trek : Nemesis because he felt the franchise had " disconnected " from the original series . For him , he said , Star Trek was about Kirk and Spock , and the other series were like " separate space adventure [ s ] with the name Star Trek " . He also acknowledged that as a child he had actually preferred the Star Wars movies . He noted that his general knowledge of Star Trek made him well suited to introduce the franchise to newcomers , and that , being an optimistic person , he would make Star Trek an optimistic film , which would be a refreshing contrast to the likes of The Dark Knight . He added that he loved the focus on exploration in Star Trek and the idea of the Prime Directive , which forbids Starfleet to interfere in the development of primitive worlds , but that , because of the budgetary limitations of the original series , it had " never had the resources to actually show the adventure " . He noted he only became involved with the project as producer initially because he wanted to help Orci , Kurtzman and Lindelof . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-322 | Ancient Indian , Greek , Egyptian , Babylonian and Chinese observers knew of Venus and recorded the planet 's motions . The early Greek astronomers called Venus by two names — Hesperus the evening star and Phosphorus the morning star . Pythagoras is credited with realizing they were the same planet .

wikipedia_2018-327 | The similarities between A. chailletii and A. areolatum have caused some confusion regarding their placement in the genus . As only the size of their fruit bodies differ from each other in appearance , researcher German Josef <unk> assumed that both are the same species in different age stages . Experiments with pure cultures of the fungi , however , showed that the mycelia of A. chailletii , A. laevigatum and A. ferreum were partially compatible to each other , but the mycelium of A. areolatum was incompatible to other species . Boidin believes that the common ancestor of all Amylostereum fungi used yellowwoods as a host . This genus of conifers was native in Europe until the Paleogene and Neogene Periods ( 66 million to 2 @.@ 6 million years ago ) , but became extinct there , so the Amylostereum fungi specialized on other conifers and differentiated into several species . Only A. ferreum specialized on yellowwoods in South America . | wikipedia-2018 |

According to Knightley and Kennedy 's account , the police offered to drop the charges if Gordon would testify against Ward , but he refused . The effects of the police inquiry were proving ruinous to Ward , whose practice was collapsing rapidly . On 7 May he met Macmillan 's private secretary , Timothy Bligh , to ask that the police inquiry into his affairs be halted . He added that he had been covering for Profumo , whose Commons statement was substantially false . Bligh took notes but failed to take action . On 19 May Ward wrote to Brooke , with essentially the same request as that to Bligh , to be told that the Home Secretary had no power to interfere with the police inquiry . Ward then gave details to the press , but no paper would print the story . He also wrote to Wilson , who showed the letter to Macmillan .

wikipedia_2018-358 | The episode was written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Rich Moore . The reason for the late broadcast on August 27 , 1992 ( the season usually ends in May ) was because the Fox network decided to add an additional episode to the season and show it during the summer to become " the biggest network " on television . As a result , the writers , animators , and producers had to work longer hours than normal to be able to finish the extra episode , which became " Brother , Can You Spare Two Dimes ?

wikipedia_2018-368 | The Kinetophone ( aka <unk> ) was an early attempt by Edison and Dickson to create a sound @-@ film system . Reports suggest that in July 1893 , a Kinetoscope accompanied by a cylinder phonograph had been presented at the Chicago World 's Fair . The first known movie made as a test of the Kinetophone was shot at Edison 's New Jersey studio in late 1894 or early 1895 , which is now referred to as the Dickson Experimental Sound Film ; this film , along with a short film from 1913 called Nursery Favorites and a 1912 demonstration film , are the only surviving movies with live @-@ recorded sound made for the Kinetophone . In March 1895 , Edison offered the device for sale ; involving no technological innovations , it was a Kinetoscope whose modified cabinet included an accompanying cylinder phonograph . Kinetoscope owners were also offered kits with which to retrofit their equipment . The first Kinetophone exhibitions appear to have taken place in April . Though a Library of Congress educational website states , " The picture and sound were made somewhat synchronous by connecting the two with a belt , " this is incorrect . As historian David Robinson describes , " The Kinetophone ... made no attempt at synchronization . The viewer listened through tubes to a phonograph concealed in the cabinet and performing approximately appropriate music or other sound . " Historian Douglas Gomery concurs , " [ Edison ] did not try to synchronize sound and image . " Leading production sound mixer Mark <unk> writes , " [ O ] nly 45 <unk> were made . They did NOT play synchronously other than the phonograph turned on when viewing and off when stopped . " Though the surviving Dickson test involves live @-@ recorded sound , certainly most , and probably all , of the films marketed for the Kinetophone were shot as silents , predominantly march or dance subjects ; exhibitors could then choose from a variety of musical cylinders offering a rhythmic match . For example , three different cylinders with orchestral performances were proposed as accompaniments for Carmencita : " Valse Santiago " , " La Paloma " , and " Alma @-@ Danza Spagnola " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-375 | The Jin leadership had not expected or desired the fall of the Song dynasty .

The Jurchens were preoccupied with strengthening their rule over the areas once controlled by Liao . Instead of continuing their invasion of the Song , an empire with a military that outnumbered their own , they adopted the strategy of " using Chinese to control the Chinese " . The Jin hoped that a proxy state would be capable of administering northern China and collecting the annual indemnity without requiring Jurchen interventions to quell anti @-@ Jin uprisings . In 1127 , the Jurchens installed a former Song official , Zhang Bangchang ( <unk> ; 1081 – 1127 ) , as the puppet emperor of the newly established " Da Chu " ( Great Chu ) dynasty . The puppet government did not deter the resistance in northern China , but the insurgents were motivated by their anger towards the Jurchens ' looting rather than by a sense of loyalty towards the inept Song court . A number of Song commanders , stationed in towns scattered across northern China , retained their allegiance to the Song , and armed volunteers organized militias opposed to the Jurchen military presence .
