Question: What do many capacitors contain that raises the capacitance?

Capacitor
A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field. The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance. While some capacitance exists between any two electrical conductors in proximity in a circuit, a capacitor is a component designed to add capacitance to a circuit. The capacitor was originally known as a condenser or condensator. The original name is still widely used in many languages, but not commonly in English. The physical form and construction of practical capacitors vary widely and many types of capacitor are in common use. Most capacitors contain at least two electrical conductors often in the form of metallic plates or surfaces separated by a dielectric medium. A conductor may be a foil, thin film, sintered bead of

Capacitor types
Capacitors are manufactured in many forms, styles, lengths, girths, and from many materials. They all contain at least two electrical conductors (called "plates") separated by an insulating layer (called the dielectric). Capacitors are widely used as parts of electrical circuits in many common electrical devices. Capacitors, together with resistors, and inductors, belong to the group of "passive components" used in electronic equipment. Although, in absolute figures, the most common capacitors are integrated capacitors (e.g. in DRAMs or flash memory structures), this article is concentrated on the various styles of capacitors as discrete components. Small capacitors are used in electronic devices to couple signals between stages of amplifiers, as components of electric filters and tuned circuits, or as parts of power supply systems to smooth rectified current. Larger capacitors

Capacitor
on the desired ratings of the capacitor. For small values of capacitance (microfarads and less), ceramic disks use metallic coatings, with wire leads bonded to the coating. Larger values can be made by multiple stacks of plates and disks. Larger value capacitors usually use a metal foil or metal film layer deposited on the surface of a dielectric film to make the plates, and a dielectric film of impregnated paper or plasticthese are rolled up to save space. To reduce the series resistance and inductance for long plates, the plates and dielectric are staggered so that connection is made at the common edge of the rolled-up plates, not at the ends of the foil or metalized film strips that comprise the plates. The assembly is encased to prevent

Capacitance
Capacitance is the ratio of the change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential. There are two closely related notions of capacitance: "self capacitance" and "mutual capacitance". Any object that can be electrically charged exhibits "self capacitance". A material with a large self capacitance holds more electric charge at a given voltage than one with low capacitance. The notion of "mutual capacitance" is particularly important for understanding the operations of the capacitor, one of the three elementary linear electronic components (along with resistors and inductors). The capacitance is a function only of the geometry of the design (e.g. area of the plates and the distance between them) and the permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates of the capacitor.

Water capacitor
in capacitors have changed greatly throughout history, the basic fundamentals remain the same. In general, capacitors are very simple electrical devices which can have many uses in today's technologically advanced world. A modern capacitor usually consists of two conducting plates sandwiched around an insulator. Electrical researcher Nicola Tesla described capacitors as the "electrical equivalent of dynamite". References. - .

Many capacitors contain a dielectric material, which increases the capacitance by allowing the storage of more electric charge.

Answer: Many capacitors contain at least two electrical conductors (plates) separated by an insulating layer (dielectric) to increase capacitance in a circuit. The physical form and construction of practical capacitors vary widely, and they are made from various materials. For small capacitance values, metallic coatings are used on ceramic disks, while larger capacitors use metal foil or metal film layers deposited on the surface of a dielectric film. The plates and dielectric are often staggered to reduce series resistance and inductance. The capacitance is a function of the geometry of the design and the permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates.


Question: What proves Viking influence on language?

Old English
loss. There was a gain in directness, in clarity, and in strength." The strength of the Viking influence on Old English appears from the fact that the indispensable elements of the language – pronouns, modals, comparatives, pronominal adverbs (like "hence" and "together"), conjunctions and prepositions – show the most marked Danish influence; the best evidence of Scandinavian influence appears in the extensive word borrowings for, as Jespersen indicates, no texts exist in either Scandinavia or in Northern England from this time to give certain evidence of an influence on syntax. The change to Old English from Old Norse was substantive, pervasive, and of a democratic character. Old Norse and Old English resembled each other closely like cousins and with some words in common, they roughly understood each other;

Old English
simplification that occurred after the Old English period is also often attributed to Norse influence. The influence of Old Norse certainly helped move English from a synthetic language along the continuum to a more analytic word order, and Old Norse most likely made a greater impact on the English language than any other language. The eagerness of Vikings in the Danelaw to communicate with their southern Anglo-Saxon neighbours produced a friction that led to the erosion of the complicated inflectional word-endings. Simeon Potter notes: "No less far-reaching was the influence of Scandinavian upon the inflexional endings of English in hastening that wearing away and leveling of grammatical forms which gradually spread from north to south. It was, after all, a salutary influence. The gain was greater than the

Middle English
occurred at some time during the 12th century. The influence of Old Norse aided the development of English from a synthetic language with relatively free word order, to a more analytic or isolating language with a more strict word order. Both Old English and Old Norse (as well as the contemporary antecedents of the latter, Faroese and Icelandic) were synthetic languages with complicated inflections. The eagerness of Vikings in the Danelaw to communicate with their Anglo-Saxon neighbours resulted in the erosion of inflection in both languages. Old Norse may have had a more profound impact on Middle and Modern English development than any other language. Simeon Potter notes: "No less far-reaching was the influence of Scandinavian upon the inflexional endings of English in hastening that wearing away and

Vikings
were reliant upon the writings and transcriptions of Christian scholars, including the Icelanders Snorri Sturluson and Sæmundur fróði. Many of these sagas were written in Iceland, and most of them, even if they had no Icelandic provenance, were preserved there after the Middle Ages due to the continued interest of Icelanders in Norse literature and law codes. The 200-year Viking influence on European history is filled with tales of plunder and colonisation, and the majority of these chronicles came from western witnesses and their descendants. Less common, though equally relevant, are the Viking chronicles that originated in the east, including the Nestor chronicles, Novgorod chronicles, Ibn Fadlan chronicles, Ibn Rusta chronicles, and brief mentions by Photius, patriarch of Constantinople, regarding their first attack on the Byzantine Empire. Other

Proto-Norse language
Proto-Norse (also called Proto-Scandinavian, Proto-Nordic, Ancient Scandinavian, Proto-North Germanic and a variety of other names) was an Indo-European language spoken in Scandinavia that is thought to have evolved as a northern dialect of Proto-Germanic in the first centuries CE. It is the earliest stage of a characteristically North Germanic language, and the language attested in the oldest Scandinavian Elder Futhark inscriptions, spoken from around the 2nd to the 8th centuries CE (corresponding to the late Roman Iron Age and the Germanic Iron Age). It evolved into the dialects of Old Norse at the beginning of the Viking Age around 800 CE, which later themselves evolved into the modern North Germanic languages (Faroese, Icelandic, the three Continental Scandinavian languages, and their dialects). Phonology. Proto-Norse phonology probably did not differ

The Viking influence on language is proven by the extensive word borrowings and the erosion of inflectional endings in Old English. The indispensable elements of the language, such as pronouns, modals, comparatives, and prepositions, show marked Danish influence. Additionally, the simplification and shift towards a more analytic word order in English are attributed to Viking impact.

Answer: The Viking influence on the English language is evident in several ways, as indicated by linguists such as Jespersen and Potter. The most significant impact can be seen in the extensive borrowing of words from Old Norse into Old English. Additionally, the simplification of Old English inflections and the shift towards a more analytic word order are believed to be influenced by Old Norse. The erosion of complex inflectional endings in both Old English and Old Norse was likely due to the need for effective communication between Vikings and their Anglo-Saxon neighbors. Old Norse may have had a more profound impact on Middle and Modern English development than any other language. Furthermore, Proto-Norse, the earliest stage of the North Germanic language, likely influenced Old Norse and, consequently, Old English.


Question: In 2001, Portugal was the first country in the world to do what?

Capital punishment in Portugal
Portugal was a pioneer in the process of abolition of capital punishment. No executions have been carried out since 1846, with the formal abolishment of capital punishment for civil crimes occurring in 1867. The method of capital punishment used in Portugal was by hanging. Portugal was the first country in the world to begin the process to abolish the death penalty, abolishing it in stages – for political crimes in 1852, for all crimes except the military in 1867, and for all crimes in 1911. In 1916 Portugal entered in World War I and it was re-established only for military crimes in war time with a foreign country and only in the theater of war. With the new Constitution in 1976, it was again abolished for all crimes.

Question: How are household chores frequently divided?

Homemaking
Landscape Study found that fathers were more likely than mothers to say that chores were evenly split between both partners (56% vs. 46%). When asked, 50% of mothers reported they handled more responsibilities around the house than their partners; only 12% of fathers reported they did more household tasks. Despite this difference in perception, a majority of married U.S. adults (56%) said that sharing household chores as "very important" to a successful marriage. In a 2008 article, social scientists Susan L. Brown and Sayaka Kawamura reported that the unequal distribution in housework was attributed mainly to time availability. They concluded: “wives typically work fewer hours than their husbands, [so] they have more time available to perform household tasks.” Housekeeping. Housekeeping by the homemaker is the care and control

Chore division
example, a load of laundry could be partitioned by the number of articles of clothing and/or by the amount of time spent loading the machine. The problems differ, however, in the desirability of the resources. The chore division problem was introduced by Martin Gardner in 1978. Chore division is often called fair division of bads, in contrast to the more common problem called "fair division of goods". Another name is dirty work problem. The same resource can be either good or bad, depending on the situation. For example, suppose the resource to be divided is the back-yard of a house. In a situation of dividing inheritance, this yard would be considered good, since each heir would like to have as much land as possible, so it is a

Chore division
Chore division is a fair division problem in which the divided resource is undesirable, so that each participant wants to get as little as possible. It is the mirror-image of the fair cake-cutting problem, in which the divided resource is desirable so that each participant wants to get as much as possible. Both problems have heterogeneous resources, meaning that the resources are nonuniform. In cake division, cakes can have edge, corner, and middle pieces along with different amounts of frosting. Whereas in chore division, there are different chore types and different amounts of time needed to finish each chore. Similarly, both problems assume that the resources are divisible. Chores can be infinitely divisible, because the finite set of chores can be partitioned by chore or by time. For

Household
there is not always a one-to-one relationship between households and families. Social definitions. In social work, a household is defined similarly: a residential group in which housework is divided and performed by householders. Care may be delivered by one householder to another, depending upon their respective needs, abilities, and (perhaps) disabilities. Household composition may affect life and health expectations and outcomes for its members. Eligibility for community services and welfare benefits may depend upon household composition. In sociology, household work strategy (a term coined by Ray Pahl in his 1984 book, "Divisions of Labour") is the division of labour among members of a household. Household work strategies vary over the life cycle as household members age, or with the economic environment; they may be imposed by one person,

Housekeeping
Housekeeping refers to the management of duties and chores involved in the running of a household, such as cleaning, cooking, home maintenance, shopping, laundry and bill payment. These tasks may be performed by members of the household, or by other persons hired for the purpose. The term is also used to refer to the money allocated for such use. By extension, an office or organization, as well as the maintenance of computer storage systems. A housekeeper is a person employed to manage a household and the domestic staff. According to the Victorian era "Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management", the housekeeper is second in command in the house and "except in large establishments, where there is a house steward, the housekeeper must consider his/herself as the immediate representative

Household chores are frequently divided based on time availability and perceived responsibility, with tasks often unevenly distributed between partners. Fathers are more likely to report even splits, while mothers often handle more responsibilities. The division can also be influenced by economic factors and life cycle changes.

Answer: Household chores are frequently divided unequally between partners, with wives or mothers reporting to handle more responsibilities than their husbands or fathers, despite both partners valuing equal sharing of chores for a successful marriage. The unequal distribution is mainly attributed to time availability, as wives typically work fewer hours than their husbands. Chore division is a fair division problem in which the divided resource is undesirable, and both problems assume that the resources are divisible. Household work strategies vary and may be influenced by household composition and the economic environment.

Question: do protein bars work

Protein bar
build muscles. In the fitness and medical fields it is generally accepted that protein after exercise helps build the muscles used. Whey protein is one of the most popular protein sources used for athletic performance. Other protein sources include egg albumen protein and casein, which is typically known as the slow digestive component of milk protein. Vegan protein bars contain only plant proteins from sources like peas, brown rice, hemp, and soybeans. Issues. Issues.:Sugar content. Protein bars may contain high levels of sugar and sometimes are called "candy bars in disguise." To keep calories and carbohydrate content relatively low, many protein bars contain sugar alcohol as sweetener. Issues.:Supplementation controversy. There is a disagreement over the amount of protein required for active individuals and athletic performance. Some research shows

Protein bar
Protein bars are nutrition bars that contain a high proportion of protein to carbohydrates/fats. Dietary purpose. Protein bars are targeted to people who primarily want a convenient source of protein that doesn't require preparation (unless homemade). There are different kinds of food bars to fill different purposes. Energy bars provide the majority of their food energy (calories) in carbohydrate form. Meal replacement bars are intended to replace the variety of nutrients in a meal. Protein bars are usually lower in carbs than energy bars, lower in vitamins and dietary minerals than meal replacement bars, and significantly higher in protein than either. Protein bars are mainly used by athletes or exercise enthusiasts for muscle building. Protein bar niche. In addition to other nutrients, the human body needs protein to

that protein supplementation is not necessary. Athletes generally consume higher levels of protein as compared to the general population for muscular hypertrophy and to reduce lean body mass lost during weight loss. The American Dietetic Association, Dietitians of Canada, and American College of Sports Medicine supports higher protein intake for athletes in order to enhance athletic performance and recovery.

Balance Bar
Balance Bar, sometimes styled as balance bar, is the brand name of a nutritional energy bar based on the 40-30-30 dietary principle, that is, a diet containing 40% carbohydrate, 30% protein and 30% dietary fat. The 40-30-30 nutritional philosophy was popularized by Dr. Barry Sears, a biochemist, and later expounded in his Zone diet books. The product was first released in 1992. Since that time, the product line has expanded to include Balance Bar, Balance Gold, Balance Trail Mix, Balance Plus, Balance CarbWell, Balance Gold Crunch, Balance Outdoor, Balance Organic, Balance 100 Calories, Balance Bare, and 40-30-30 Balance Drink Mix.

antioxidant, the biosynthesis of which is dependent on cysteine availability. We hypothesized that supplementation with a whey-based cysteine donor [Immunocal] designed to augment intracellular GSH would enhance performance. Twenty healthy young adults (10 men, 10 women) were studied presupplementation and 3 mo postsupplementation with either Immunocal (20 g/day) or casein placebo. Muscular performance was assessed by whole leg isokinetic cycle testing, measuring peak power and 30-s work capacity. Lymphocyte GSH was used as a marker of tissue GSH. There were no baseline differences (age, ht, wt, %ideal wt, peak power, 30-s work capacity). Follow-up data on 18 subjects (9 Immunocal, 9 placebo) were analyzed. Both peak power [13 +/- 3.5 (SE) %, P 0.02] and 30-s work capacity (13 +/- 3.7%, P 0.03) increased significantly in the Immunocal

Protein bars can help build muscles when consumed as part of a balanced diet and exercise routine, especially when taken after workouts. They are a convenient source of protein, though their effectiveness depends on individual needs, overall diet, and activity level.

Answer:
 Protein bars are designed to provide a convenient source of protein, particularly for athletes and exercise enthusiasts who want to support muscle building and recovery. The scientific consensus is that protein intake is important for muscle growth after exercise. Protein bars contain a higher proportion of protein compared to other types of energy bars and meal replacement bars. Some popular protein bars use whey protein, which is quickly absorbed by the body, while others use plant-based proteins like pea, brown rice, hemp, and soybean proteins for vegan options.

The effectiveness of protein bars in helping to build muscles depends on factors like the quality and quantity of protein, other nutrients, and individual differences. However, it's important to note that excessive sugar content and the use of sugar alcohols as sweeteners can be issues with some protein bars, potentially making them high in overall calories. Additionally, there is ongoing debate about the optimal protein intake for active individuals and athletic performance, with some research suggesting that higher protein intake can enhance athletic performance and recovery.

In the study you provided, the use of Immunocal, a whey-based cysteine donor, led to significant improvements in muscular performance (peak power and 30-s work capacity) and increased intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels in 18 subjects. This suggests that protein supplementation, specifically with whey protein, may have positive effects on muscular performance. However, it is essential to consider individual nutritional needs and preferences when choosing protein bars or any other protein sources.


Question: can long term care insurance be deducted

Long-term care insurance
map to estimate the costs by state. - Premiums paid on a long-term care insurance product may be eligible for an income tax deduction. The amount of the deduction depends on the age of the covered person. Benefits paid from a long-term care contract are generally excluded from income. Some states also have deductions or credits and proceeds are always tax-free. - Business deductions of premiums are determined by the type of business. Generally corporations paying premiums for an employee are 100% deductible if not included in employee's taxable income. In the United States, Medicaid will provide long-term care services for the poor or those who spend-down assets because of care and exhaust their assets. In most states you must spend down to $2000.

Most policies pay benefits when the policyholder needs help with two or more of six ADLs or when a cognitive impairment is present. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services all tax-qualified long-term care insurance plans have the same trigger. Most policies have an elimination period or waiting period similar to a deductible. This is the period of time that you pay for care before your benefits are paid. Elimination days may be from 30 to 120 days after a long-term care incident, such as a fall or illness.

Allowable medical expenses include: - Capital expenditures that are advised by a physician, where the facility is used primarily by the patient alone and the expense is reasonable (e.g., a swimming pool for someone with degenerative spinal disorder, an elevator for someone with heart disease) - Payments to doctors, dentists, surgeons, chiropractors, psychologists, counselors, physical therapists, osteopaths, podiatrists, home health care nurses, cost of care for chronic cognitive impairment - Premiums for medical insurance (but not if paid by another, or with pre-tax money) - Premiums for qualifying long-term-care insurance,

Long-term care insurance
Long-term care insurance (LTC or LTCI) is an insurance product, sold in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada that helps pay for the costs associated with long-term care. Long-term care insurance covers care generally not covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Individuals who require long-term care are generally not sick in the traditional sense but are unable to perform two of the six activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, eating, toileting, continence, transferring (getting in and out of a bed or chair), and walking.

Some group plans include language allowing the insurance company to replace the policy with a similar policy and to change the premiums at that time. Some group plans can be canceled by the insurance company. To compensate for the higher insurance risk group plans may have higher deductibles and lower benefits than individual plans. Some group plans have

Yes, premiums paid on a long-term care insurance product may be eligible for an income tax deduction, depending on the age of the covered person and the type of business paying the premiums.

Answer: Yes, long-term care insurance premiums can be deducted as a medical expense on your tax return, subject to certain limits and conditions. The amount of the deduction depends on your age and the total amount of your medical expenses for the year. The 10% floor means that most taxpayers cannot deduct medical expenses, including long-term care insurance premiums, unless their total medical expenses exceed 10% of their adjusted gross income. Allowable medical expenses include long-term care insurance premiums, but only for policies that are tax-qualified and provide coverage for custodial care. Businesses that pay for long-term care insurance premiums for their employees may also be able to deduct the premiums as a business expense.


Question: what is an afci breaker

Arc-fault circuit interrupter
An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) also known as an arc-fault detection device (AFDD) is a circuit breaker that breaks the circuit when it detects an electric arc in the circuit it protects to prevent electrical fires. An AFCI selectively distinguishes between a harmless arc (incidental to normal operation of switches, plugs, and brushed motors), and a potentially dangerous arc (that can occur, for example, in a lamp cord which has a broken conductor). AFCI breakers have been required for circuits feeding electrical outlets in residential bedrooms by the electrical codes of Canada and the United States since the beginning of the 21st century; the U.S. "National Electrical Code" has required them to protect most residential outlets since 2014, and the "Canadian Electrical Code" has since 2015.

The electronics inside an AFCI breaker detect electrical current alternating at characteristic frequencies, usually around 100 kHz, known to be associated with wire arcing, which are sustained for more than a few milliseconds. A "combination AFCI breaker" provides protection against parallel arcing (line to neutral), series arcing (a loose, broken, or otherwise high resistance segment in a single line), ground arcing (from line, or neutral, to ground), overload protection and short circuit protection. AFCI receptacles contain electronic components to monitor a circuit for the presence of dangerous arcing conditions. Based upon an established threshold in the sine wave, the AFCI can be triggered to

devices come in many configurations including circuit-breakers, portable devices and receptacles. Another safety device introduced with the 1999 code is the arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI). This device detects arcs from hot to neutral that can develop when insulation between wires becomes frayed or damaged. While arcs from hot to neutral would not trip a GFCI device since current is still balanced, circuitry in an AFCI device detects those arcs and will shut down a circuit. AFCI devices generally replace the circuit breaker in the circuit. As of the 1999 National Electrical Code, AFCI protection is required in new construction on all 15- and 20-amp, 125-volt circuits to bedrooms. Requirements.:Conduit and cable protection. In home construction, wiring is commonly allowed directly in walls without additional protection. However, in commercial

NEMA connector
plastic outlet caps which must be individually installed on each receptacle (and are a choking hazard when removed), and to sliding covers that children easily learn to defeat. Additional safety features.:AFCI receptacles. The National Electrical Code has been updated for 2014 and it addresses the use of Outlet Branch Circuit (OBC) Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) Receptacles as an alternative to breakers when used for modifications/ extensions, as replacement receptacles or in new construction. AFCI Receptacles work to address the dangers associated with potentially hazardous arcing conditions (parallel arcs and series arcs) by interrupting power to arcing devices, e.g. a damaged appliance cord, that might otherwise not draw enough current to trip the primary circuit protection device. AFCI protection is mandated by the 2014 Code in residential family

An AFCI breaker is a circuit breaker that detects electrical arcs in a circuit and interrupts the power to prevent electrical fires. It distinguishes between harmless and dangerous arcs and is required in residential settings for outlet circuits, especially in bedrooms.

Answer: An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) breaker is a type of circuit breaker that detects and interrupts electric arcs to prevent electrical fires. It distinguishes between harmless arcs and dangerous arcs, and once a dangerous arc is detected, the AFCI opens its internal contacts to de-energize the circuit. AFCI breakers provide protection against parallel arcing (line to neutral), series arcing (a loose, broken, or otherwise high resistance segment in a single line), ground arcing (from line, or neutral, to ground), overload protection, and short circuit protection.


Question: What gases come from seeps?

Petroleum seep
A petroleum seep is a place where natural liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons escape to the earth's atmosphere and surface, normally under low pressure or flow. Seeps generally occur above either terrestrial or offshore petroleum accumulation structures. The hydrocarbons may escape along geological layers, or across them through fractures and fissures in the rock, or directly from an outcrop of oil-bearing rock. Petroleum seeps are quite common in many areas of the world, and have been exploited by mankind since paleolithic times. Natural products associated with these seeps include bitumen, pitch, asphalt and tar. In locations where seeps of natural gas are sufficiently large, natural "eternal flames" often persist. The occurrence of surface petroleum was often included in location names that developed; these locations are also associated with early

Cold seep
Types. Types of cold seeps can be distinguished according to the depth, as shallow cold seeps and deep cold seeps. Cold seeps can also be distinguished in detail, as follows: - oil/gas seeps - gas seeps: methane seeps - gas hydrate seeps - brine seeps are formed in brine pools - pockmarks - mud volcanoes Formation and ecological succession. Cold seeps occur over fissures on the seafloor caused by tectonic activity. Oil and methane "seep" out of those fissures, get diffused by sediment, and emerge over an area several hundred meters wide. Methane () is the main component of what we commonly refer to as natural gas. But in addition to being an important energy source for humans, methane also forms the basis of a cold seep ecosystem.

Cold seep
A cold seep (sometimes called a cold vent) is an area of the ocean floor where hydrogen sulfide, methane and other hydrocarbon-rich fluid seepage occurs, often in the form of a brine pool. "Cold" does not mean that the temperature of the seepage is lower than that of the surrounding sea water. On the contrary, its temperature is often slightly higher. The "cold" is relative to the very warm (at least ) conditions of a hydrothermal vent. Cold seeps constitute a biome supporting several endemic species. Cold seeps develop unique topography over time, where reactions between methane and seawater create carbonate rock formations and reefs. These reactions may also be dependent on bacterial activity. Ikaite, a hydrous calcium carbonate, can be associated with oxidizing methane at cold seeps.

Volcanic gas
Volcanic gases are gases given off by active (or, at times, by dormant) volcanoes. These include gases trapped in cavities (vesicles) in volcanic rocks, dissolved or dissociated gases in magma and lava, or gases emanating directly from lava or indirectly through ground water heated by volcanic action. The sources of volcanic gases on Earth include: - primordial and recycled constituents from the Earth's mantle, - assimilated constituents from the Earth's crust, - groundwater and the Earth's atmosphere. Substances that may become gaseous or give off gases when heated are termed volatile substances. Composition. The principal components of volcanic gases are water vapor (HO), carbon dioxide (CO), sulfur either as sulfur dioxide (SO) (high-temperature volcanic gases) or hydrogen sulfide (HS) (low-temperature volcanic gases), nitrogen, argon, helium, neon, methane, carbon

Trace gas
Trace gases are those gases in the atmosphere other than nitrogen (78.1%), oxygen (20.9%), and argon (0.934%) which, in combination, make up 99.934% of the gases in the atmosphere (not including water vapor). Abundance, sources and sinks. The abundance of a trace gas can range from a few parts per trillion (ppt) by volume to several hundred parts per million by volume (ppmv). When a trace gas is added into the atmosphere, that process is called a "source". There are two possible types of sources - natural or anthropogenic. Natural sources are caused by processes that occur in nature. In contrast, anthropogenic sources are caused by human activity. Some of the sources of a trace gas are biogenic, solid Earth (outgassing), the ocean, industrial activities, or in situ

The gases that come from seeps include hydrogen sulfide, methane, and other hydrocarbon-rich fluids. Additionally, volcanic gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, argon, helium, neon, and methane may also be associated with seeps.

Answer: Seeps can release hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and other hydrocarbon-rich fluids. In the case of cold seeps, methane is a major component.


Question: what is the size of the accumulator of a 64bit processor

MIPS architecture
results into a double-size accumulator (called "hi/lo" and 64 bits on MIPS32 CPUs). The DSP ASE adds three more accumulators, and some different flavours of multiply-accumulate. - SIMD instructions operating on 4 x unsigned bytes or 2 x 16-bit values packed into a 32-bit register (the 64-bit variant of the DSP ASE supports larger vectors, too). - SIMD operations are basic arithmetic, shifts and some multiply-accumulate type operations. To make use of MIPS DSP ASE, you may: - Hand-code in assembly language, which is the most time-consuming method of utilizing the MIPS DSP ASE, but can produce code with the highest performance. - Use asm macros supported by GCC that produce DSP instructions directly from C code. - Use intrinsics supported by GCC for the MIPS DSP ASE.

Accumulator (computing)
ESI, EDI as the accumulator (i.e. left operand and destination). This is also supported for multiply if the upper half of the result is not required. x86 is thus a fairly general register architecture, despite being based on an accumulator model. The 64-bit extension of x86, x86-64, has been further generalized to 16 instead of 8 general registers.

64-bit computing
sold on September 20, 2013, in the iPhone 5S powered by the ARMv8-A Apple A7 system on a chip (SoC). A 64-bit register can hold any of 2 (over 18 quintillion or 1.8×10) different values. The range of integer values that can be stored in 64 bits depends on the integer representation used. With the two most common representations, the range is 0 through 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 (2 − 1) for representation as an (unsigned) binary number, and −9,223,372,036,854,775,808 (−2) through 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (2 − 1) for representation as two's complement. Hence, a processor with 64-bit memory addresses can directly access 2 bytes (=16 exabytes) of byte-addressable memory. With no further qualification, a "64-bit computer architecture" generally has integer and addressing processor registers that are 64 bits wide, allowing direct support

APEXC
and data words are always 32 bits long. The processor uses integer arithmetic with 2's complement representation. Addresses are 10 bits long. The APEXC has no RAM, except for a 32-bit accumulator and a 32-bit data register (used along with the 32-bit accumulator to implement 64-bit shift instructions and hold the 64-bit result of a multiplication). Instructions and data are stored in two magnetic drums, for a total of 32 circular magnetic tracks of 32 words. Since the rotation rate is 3750rpm (62.5 rotations per second), the program execution speed can go from as high as the theoretical maximum of 1 kIPS to lower than 100IPS if program instructions and data are not contiguous. Nowadays, many say a pocket calculator is faster. One oddity is that there is

64-bit computing
and not all processors implementing those instruction sets, support a full 64-bit virtual or physical address space. The x86-64 architecture () allows 48 bits for virtual memory and, for any given processor, up to 52 bits for physical memory. These limits allow memory sizes of 256 TiB () and 4 PiB (), respectively. A PC cannot currently contain 4 pebibytes of memory (due to the physical size of the memory chips), but AMD envisioned large servers, shared memory clusters, and other uses of physical address space that might approach this in the foreseeable future. Thus the 52-bit physical address provides ample room for expansion while not incurring the cost of implementing full 64-bit physical addresses. Similarly, the 48-bit virtual address space was designed to provide more than 65,000

The size of the accumulator of a 64-bit processor is 64 bits.

Answer: The accumulator in a 64-bit processor is typically a 64-bit register. This means it can hold values up to 18 quintillion (1.8×10^19) different unsigned values or a range of −9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 for two's complement representation. However, the specific architecture mentioned in the text, APEXC, has a 32-bit accumulator and a 32-bit data register used together to implement 64-bit shift instructions and hold the 64-bit result of a multiplication.

Question: Thlocklo Tustenuggee as reported in newspapers, as were the deaths of other prominent Native American leaders who died in connection with a series of what?

Thlocklo Tustenuggee
Florida. In 1843, Tustenuggee and 26 of his followers were forcibly migrated from Florida to New Orleans, Louisiana. They were transported by the USS "Lawrence" along with 65 other Native Americans and three black slaves. Tustenuggee then committed suicide by swallowing powdered glass. His death was reported in newspapers, as were the deaths of other prominent Native American leaders who died in connection with the Trail of Tears.

Thlocklo Tustenuggee
Thlocklo Tustenuggee (also known as Thlocko, Thlocco, and Tiger Tail) was one of the most prominent Seminole leaders in the Second Seminole War. He spoke English fluently, and also spoke Muscogee. Tustenuggee was one of the three leaders of the 300 Seminoles who fought in the battle that became known as the Dade Massacre. During the war, he and Halleck Tustenuggee, another prominent Seminole leader in the war, met with General Walker Keith Armistead to negotiate, but negotiations broke down and the war resumed. As the war waned, Armistead used money to bribe several Seminole leaders to surrender, but Tustenuggee refused to be bribed and he continued to lead his band in fighting. When the war ended, his Seminole band was one of the few that remained in

George Washington Grayson
George Washington Grayson, also known as Tulwa Tustunugge (Wolf Warrior), (May 12, 1843 - December 2, 1920) (Muscogee Creek), was a businessman, merchant, rancher, publisher of the "Indian Journal," writer, and leader of the Creek Nation during the period when Indian Territory was dissolved to prepare of Oklahoma statehood. Of partial European ancestry, he identified as Creek and supported the nation, working for the proposed State of Sequoyah, to be a Native American state. It did not gain Congressional approval. In 1917, under revised conditions after tribal governments had been dissolved, Grayson was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson as chief of the Creek Nation, serving until his death. He had previously served as the Creek delegate to Congress. Background. George Washington Grayson (his Muskogee name was "Tulwa Tustunugge",

Tenskwatawa
Tenskwatawa (; also called Tenskatawa, Tenskwatawah, Tensquatawa or Lalawethika) (January 1775 – November 1836) was a Native American religious and political leader of the Shawnee, known as the Prophet or the Shawnee Prophet. He was a younger brother of Tecumseh, a leader of the Shawnee. In his early years Tenskwatawa was given the name Lalawithika ("He Makes a Loud Noise", "The Noise Maker", or "The Rattle") by the Red Sticks, a faction of the Muscogee. Tenskwatawa was once the town drunk, but about 1805, after a stupor so deep that he was believed dead, he awoke and said he had visited the Master of Breath, and been shown a heaven with game and honey for those who lived virtuously and traditionally. Tenskwatawa denounced Euro-American settlers, calling them offspring

Tecumseh's War
squatting. Background.:Religious revival. In May 1805, Lenape Chief Buckongahelas, one of the most important native leaders in the region, died of either smallpox or influenza. The surrounding tribes believed his death was caused by a form of witchcraft, and a witch-hunt ensued, leading to the death of several suspected Lenape witches. The witch-hunts inspired a nativist religious revival led by Tecumseh's brother Tenskwatawa ("The Prophet"), who emerged in 1805 as a leader among the witch hunters. He quickly posed a threat to the influence of the accommodationist chiefs, to whom Buckongahelas had belonged. As part of his religious teachings, Tenskwatawa urged Indians to reject European American ways, such as drinking liquor, European-style clothing, and firearms. He also called for the tribes to refrain from ceding any more lands

Answer: The Trail of Tears, which was a forced migration of Native Americans from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in the late 1830s. Thlocklo Tustenuggee, a prominent Seminole leader in the Second Seminole War, was one of the Native American leaders reported to have died during this period. His suicide by swallowing powdered glass was also reported in newspapers.
