The dual graph for a Voronoi diagram corresponds to the Delaunay triangulation for the same set of points. Voronoi tessellations are interesting for spatial networks in the sense that they provide a natural representation model to which one can compare a real world network. Mixing space and topologyExamining the topology of the nodes and edges itself is another way to characterize networks. The distribution of degree of the nodes is often considered, regarding the structure of edges it is useful to find the Minimum spanning tree, or the generalization, the Steiner tree and the relative neighborhood graph. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_network |
"For his discovery of a new class of materials – free-standing two-dimensional crystals – in particular graphene." 2006 Peter Weightman, University of Liverpool.

The switchgrass ethanol industry energy balance is also considered to be substantially better than that of corn ethanol. During the bioconversion process, the lignin fraction of switchgrass can be burned to provide sufficient steam and electricity to operate the biorefinery. Studies have found that for every unit of energy input needed to create a biofuel from switchgrass, four units of energy are yielded. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panicum_virgatum |
There are Unicode code points for other glyphs that look very similar to the 'prohibited' symbol, but which may be available in more font repertoires: U+29B8 ⦸ CIRCLED REVERSE SOLIDUS, which is difficult to distinguish from the 'prohibited' symbol. U+29B0 ⦰ REVERSED EMPTY SETOther glyphs exist but are incorrectly oriented, for example U+2298 ⊘ CIRCLED DIVISION SLASH U+2205 ∅ EMPTY SET U+03F4 ϴ GREEK CAPITAL THETA SYMBOL U+04E8 Ө CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER BARRED OAll of these are spacing characters, which means that they cannot readily be used in combination with a symbol for the action to be prohibited. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_symbol |
A significant number of construction projects in British East Africa and South Africa, required vast quantities of labor, exceeding the availability or willingness of local tribesmen. Indentured Indians from India were imported, for such projects as the Uganda Railway, as farm labor, and as miners. They and their descendants formed a significant portion of the population and economy of Kenya and Uganda, although not without engendering resentment from others. Idi Amin's expulsion of the "Asians" from Uganda in 1972 was an expulsion of Indo-Africans.The majority of the population of Mauritius are descendants of Indian indentured labourers brought in between 1834 and 1921. Initially brought to work the sugar estates following the abolition of slavery in the British Empire an estimated half a million indentured laborers were present on the island during this period. Aapravasi Ghat, in the bay at Port Louis and now a UNESCO site, was the first British colony to serve as a major reception centre for indentured Indians from India who came to work on plantations following the abolition of slavery. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentured_servants |
Among the 8 human prostanoid receptors, DP1, along with IP, EP2, and EP4, are classified as relaxant prostanoid receptors; each, including DP1, is a G protein-coupled receptors that works by activating G-S proteins which in turn raises cellular cAMP levels thereby mobilizing Cyclic adenosine monophosphate-activated cell signaling pathways which regulate cell function. DP1 activation also causes the mobilization of calcium in HEK293 cells transfected with this receptor. It does so by a mechanism that is independent of Inositol trisphosphate signaling; Ligand-activated DP1 also mobilizes G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2, also known as β-Adrenergic receptor kinase 2 ) and arrestin 2 (also known as Arrestin beta 1 ). These agents act to uncouple DP1 from its G proteins and to internalize in a process that limits the DP1's cell-activation life-time in a process termed homologous desensitization. Activation of protein kinase Cs likewise trigger DP1 to uncouple from G proteins and internalize although in model studies DP1 has not been shown to cause the activation of PKC (see Protein kinase C#Function). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostaglandin_DP1_receptor |
"Dune: Hunting Harkonnens", by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, was first released online in 2002 prior to the release of the first Legends of Dune novel, Dune: The Butlerian Jihad; it was later published in the 2005 collection The Road to Dune. In the short story, Ulf and Katarina Harkonnen and their son Piers (the parents and brother of Xavier Harkonnen) are travelling to Salusa Secundus when they are attacked by thinking machines under the command of General Agamemnon, a cymek. The Harkonnen ship is severely damaged and the 20-year-old Piers is ejected in an escape pod. He lands on the planet Caladan and meets a band of primitives who assist him in taking vengeance against the cymeks. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_short_stories |
The term building-applied photovoltaics (BAPV) is sometimes used to refer to photovoltaics that are retrofit – integrated into the building after construction is complete. Most building-integrated installations are actually BAPV. Some manufacturers and builders differentiate new construction BIPV from BAPV. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_integrated_photovoltaics |
For example, the Uganda Linux User Group operates in 3 major cities and frequently coordinates national and international events that have featured guests as high-profile as Tim Berners-Lee. Cyberstorm.mu, a Linux User Group from Mauritius, trains high school students on Linux to compete in Google Code-in and organises Hackathons focused on Linux. The Bellingham Linux Users Group (BLUG), in Bellingham, Washington, holds the annual LinuxFest Northwest, which attracts large numbers of participants from throughout the region, including western Canada. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_user_group |
VSI crushers use a different approach involving a high speed rotor with wear resistant tips and a crushing chamber designed to 'throw' the rock against. The VSI crushers utilize velocity rather than surface force as the predominant force to break rock. In its natural state, rock has a jagged and uneven surface. Applying surface force (pressure) results in unpredictable and typically non-cubical resulting particles. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_shaft_impactor |
The £4.3bn cost of the Thames Tideway Tunnel project is to be funded by Thames Water customers. This has angered customers who dispute an accounting practice confirmed by the industry regulator. Ofwat confirmed the extent of leveraging on the balance sheet, reducing tax due and allowing annual payouts of fairly typical levels of dividends – money some customers feel should have cut the cost of the scheme. Thames Water maintains that it has done nothing unusual by making tax-deductible investments in the natural and proper domain of its business which reduces tax; this is conventional practice. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Tideway_Scheme |
It is not uncommon to have the audience hope that the hero will defeat the villain yet remain fearful that they will not. Often, there is a central mystery that the protagonist must solve, one that is obfuscated from the audience and the hero, so that it is difficult to know what is needed to successfully unravel the impending sense of doom that hangs over the hero. Films such as Se7en (1995), Zodiac (2007), Shutter Island (2010), and Black Swan (2010) are thriller dramas. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_drama |
The system is based on both visual appraisal and palpable fat cover of the six major points of the horse. The system is used by law-enforcement agencies as an objective method of scoring a horse's body condition in horse cruelty cases.The concept of a body condition score (BCS) has been adapted for other livestock, especially cattle. Obesity in cats and dogs can be relatively easily diagnosed this way. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henneke_horse_body_condition_scoring_system |
When the tip of the tumbler is nearly centered, it slips into the receiving hole in the hammer mass, and releases the hammer. The hammer mass is then allowed to move forward, propelled by the rear spring. Because the hole in the hammer mass does not go through the mass and is less deep than the end section of the tumbler, the tip of the tumbler bottoms out in the hole in the hammer, and the impulse of the hammer mass is transmitted through the tumbler, through the punch, and to the workpiece. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_center_punch |
As a precursor to the social dividend concept, Léon Walras, one of the founders of neoclassical economics who helped formulate the general equilibrium theory, argued that free competition could only be realized under conditions of state ownership of natural resources and land. Walras argued that nationalized land and natural resources would provide a source of income to the state that would eliminate the need for income taxes.In Karl Marx's critique of political economy, property income is a component of surplus value, which refers to the net value above the total wage bill. The surplus value is distributed among a small minority of passive owners - capitalists and private shareholders. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_dividend |
In 2010, Saltare was on season 5 of MTV's America's Best Dance Crew and the group featured single rope and Double Dutch into their dance routines.A 2010 PBS documentary, New York Street Games, included Whoopi Goldberg describing Double Dutch.On January 15, 2007, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Google homepage featured a double Dutch logo with black children playing with white and Asian children, emblematic of the realization of Martin Luther King Jr. 's "I Have A Dream" speech in 1963.Double Dutch is featured in the Wee Sing production Grandpa's Magical Toys.In his dual title role of the 2011 film Jack & Jill, Adam Sandler gives a demonstration of Double Dutch jump rope on board the cruise liner. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Dutch_(jump_rope) |
Prior to the game's release, various stores offered extra items as a way of attracting customers to order the game from their store. In North America, GameStop offered the in-game Challenge Tomb. Best Buy orders received the Tomb Raider: The Beginning, a 48-page hardcover graphic novel, written by the game's lead writer Rhianna Pratchett, and telling the story of "how the ill-fated voyage of the Endurance came to be". These orders also came with the Aviatrix Skin as well as the Shanty Town multiplayer map. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_Raider_(2013_video_game) |
IRI values range from 0 (equivalent to driving on a plate of glass) upwards to several hundred in/mi (a very rough road). The IRI value is used for road management to monitor road safety and quality issues. Many road profilers also measure the pavement's cross slope, curvature, longitudinal gradient and rutting. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_texture |
To some psychologists, this emphasis on gender norms can be a distraction in treating homosexual patients.The 1972 book Anti-Oedipus by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari is "a critique of psychoanalytic normativity and Oedipus" according to Didier Eribon. Eribon criticizes the Oedipus complex described by Freud or Lacan as an "implausible ideological construct" which is an "inferiorization process of homosexuality". According to psychologist Geva Shenkman, "To examine the application of concepts such as Oedipus complex and primal scene to male same-sex families, we must first eliminate the automatic associations among sex, gender, and the stereotypical psychological functions based on these categories. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oedipal_conflict |
It burned 101.4 t (224,000 lb) of fuel to cover the route in 17 h 22 min: an average of 5.8 tonnes per hour (1.6 kg/s). As of 2022, the A350-900ULR is used on the longest flight in the world, Singapore Airlines Flights 23 and 24 from Singapore to New York JFK. At the 2015 Dubai Air Show, John Leahy noted the demand of the Persian Gulf airlines for this variant. In February 2018, Qatar Airways stated its preference for the larger -1000, having no need for the extra range of the -900ULR. Compared to the standard -900, the -900ULR additional value is likely around $2 million. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A350_XWB |
An orthophoto, orthophotograph, orthoimage or orthoimagery is an aerial photograph or satellite imagery geometrically corrected ("orthorectified") such that the scale is uniform: the photo or image follows a given map projection. Unlike an uncorrected aerial photograph, an orthophoto can be used to measure true distances, because it is an accurate representation of the Earth's surface, having been adjusted for topographic relief, lens distortion, and camera tilt. Orthophotographs are commonly used in geographic information systems (GIS) as a "map accurate" background image. An orthorectified image differs from "rubber sheeted" rectifications as the latter may accurately locate a number of points on each image but "stretch" the area between so scale may not be uniform across the image. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthophoto |
Nonhuman animals and humans innovate specific fears as a result of learning. This has been studied in psychology as fear conditioning, beginning with John B. Watson's Little Albert experiment in 1920, which was inspired after observing a child with an irrational fear of dogs. In this study, an 11-month-old boy was conditioned to fear a white rat in the laboratory. The fear became generalized to include other white, furry objects, such as a rabbit, dog, and even a Santa Claus mask with white cotton balls in the beard. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear |
Bob Barker urged Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne to order Marineland to give up Kiska and other animals. On May 28, 2015, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario passed the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Amendment Act. The act prohibits the possession or breeding of orcas in Ontario but allowed Marineland to keep its orca. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marineland_of_Canada |
The National Youth Rights Association is the primary youth rights organization for the youths in the United States, with local chapters across the country. The organization known as Americans for a Society Free from Age Restrictions is also an important organization. The Freechild Project has gained a reputation for interjecting youth rights issues into organizations historically focused on youth development and youth service through their consulting and training activities. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_rights |
This type of emotion regulation strategy is considered a method that strongly resists various urges and voluntarily inhibits actions. Kühn et al. (2011) also posited the notion that expression suppression may be internally controlled and that emotional responses are targeted by suppression efforts. One of the characteristics of expressive suppression, a response-based strategy, is that it occurs after an activated response. Larsen et al. (2013) claim expressive suppression to be one of the less effective emotion regulation strategies. These researchers label expressive suppression as an inhibition of the behavioral display of emotion. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressive_suppression |
Inalienable possessions are nonetheless frequently drawn into exchange networks. The subtitle of Weiner's book is "The paradox of keeping-while-giving"; they are given as gifts (not sold) yet still retain a tie to their owners. These gifts are not like those given in regular gift giving in the West on birthdays for example. Rather, these gifts can't be re-sold for money by the receiver because the value and the significance of the gift cannot be alienated or disengaged from its relationship to those whose inalienable possession it is. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inalienable_possessions |
q-analogs are often found in exact solutions of many-body problems. In such cases, the q → 1 limit usually corresponds to relatively simple dynamics, e.g., without nonlinear interactions, while q < 1 gives insight into the complex nonlinear regime with feedbacks. An example from atomic physics is the model of molecular condensate creation from an ultra cold fermionic atomic gas during a sweep of an external magnetic field through the Feshbach resonance. This process is described by a model with a q-deformed version of the SU(2) algebra of operators, and its solution is described by q-deformed exponential and binomial distributions. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-analog |
He said to top factory managers: "If you breach your duty before the Motherland, I will destroy you as criminals who forget their honor and interests of the Motherland.

The self-consistency condition requires the impurity Green's function G i m p ( τ ) {\displaystyle G_{\mathrm {imp} }(\tau )} to coincide with the local lattice Green's function G i i ( τ ) = − ⟨ T c i ( τ ) c i † ( 0 ) ⟩ {\displaystyle G_{ii}(\tau )=-\langle Tc_{i}(\tau )c_{i}^{\dagger }(0)\rangle }: G i m p ( i ω n ) = G i i ( i ω n ) = ∑ k 1 i ω n + μ − ϵ ( k ) − Σ ( k , i ω n ) {\displaystyle G_{\mathrm {imp} }(i\omega _{n})=G_{ii}(i\omega _{n})=\sum _{k}{\frac {1}{i\omega _{n}+\mu -\epsilon (k)-\Sigma (k,i\omega _{n})}}} where Σ ( k , i ω n ) {\displaystyle \Sigma (k,i\omega _{n})} denotes the lattice self-energy. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_mean-field_theory |
The lack of shared vocabulary between people and communication overhead can sometimes be an issue in these communities and projects. If challenges of a particular type need to be repeatedly addressed so that each one can be properly decomposed, a multidisciplinary community can be exceptionally efficient and effective.There are many examples of a particular idea appearing in different academic disciplines, all of which came about around the same time. One example of this scenario is the shift from the approach of focusing on sensory awareness of the whole, "an attention to the 'total field'", a "sense of the whole pattern, of form and function as a unity", an "integral idea of structure and configuration". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_discipline |
2001 led to further reforms of the Migration Program, making onshore visa applications more accessible to students and increasing the number of people applying to undertake courses in Australia which were experiencing a skills shortage. The National Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and Training for Overseas Students (2001) was implemented and set out more detailed guidelines and requirements for education providers and developed the set of rules related to CRICOS. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_Register_of_Institutions_and_Courses_for_Overseas_Students |
Since the early 1990s, an urban sustainability approach has significantly shaped the way Vancouver has responded to its growing problem, thus it has become a globally recognized eco-city. "Vancouverism" is a new kind of city living that incorporates deep respect for nature. As such, it is characterized by environmental awareness and successful urban planning with a path of urbanization that is unique in North America. The EcoDensity Initiative aimed to facilitate greater housing affordability and diversity through strategic densification that focused on environmental sustainability and livability. Part of this status could be attributed to the natural setting of the city between the Georgia Straight and the Coast Mountains, which invokes a strong sense of environmental consciousness and environmental protection. Since the 1960s, Vancouver's strong community spirit manifested through citizen activism and traditional planning culture resulted in a strong trust between communities and the Council. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EcoDensity |

Pumpjacks can also be used to drive what would now be considered old-fashioned hand-pumped water wells. The scale of the technology is frequently smaller than for an oil well, and can typically fit on top of an existing hand-pumped well head. The technology is simple, typically using a parallel-bar double-cam lift driven from a low-power electric motor, although the number of pumpjacks with stroke lengths 54 inches (1.4 m) and longer being used as water pumps is increasing. A short video recording of such a pump in action can be viewed on YouTube.Although the flow rate for a water well pumpjack is lower than that from a jet pump and the lifted water is not pressurised, the beam pumping unit has the option of hand pumping in an emergency, by hand-rotating the pumpjack cam to its lowest position, and attaching a manual handle to the top of the wellhead rod. In larger pumpjacks powered by engines, the engine can run off fuel stored in a reservoir or from natural gas delivered from the nearest gas grid. In some cases, this type of pump consumes less power than a jet pump and is, therefore, cheaper to run. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_jack |
The Commission’s impact on product design may limit our ability to innovate in Windows or other products in the future, diminish the developer appeal of the Windows platform, and increase our product development costs. The availability of licenses related to protocols and file formats may enable competitors to develop software products that better mimic the functionality of our own products which could result in decreased sales of our products. On 27 June 2012, the General Court upheld the fine, but reduced it from €899 million to €860 million. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._Commission |
According to Thomas Ambrosio, "like other societal interest groups, ethnic identity groups establish formal organizations devoted to promoting group cohesiveness and addressing group concerns." While many formal organizations established by ethnic identity groups are apolitical, others are created explicitly for political purposes. In general, groups who seek to influence government policy on domestic or foreign issues are referred to as lobby groups or 'interest groups'. Those groups established by ethnic identity groups are referred as to ethnic interest groups.Homeland authorities can enlist diaspora communities to lobby their respective host governments on behalf of the homeland. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_politics_in_the_United_States |
This is not to mix old and new announcements and to make the protocol suitable for mobility. In MS-Aloha, Layer-1 is not specified but is supposed to be the same of IEEE 802.11p. Worthily, 802.11p provides the PLCP sub-layer which enables frame detection and alignment, required to recover from propagation delays as high as guard-time Tg. The nested Layer-2 information corresponds to the classical 802.11p frame with only one main modification: in MS-Aloha a short identifier of the node (STI - 8 bit) is used inside the FI instead of MAC address, which is typically 48-bit long. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Slotted_Aloha |
One of the most notable participants in the riots was Jake Angeli, whose presence was widely reported by the media because of his "shamanic" attire and war paints. Angeli, also known as the "QAnon Shaman", was a known QAnon supporter who had participated in various protests. On January 12, Facebook and Twitter announced that they were removing "Stop the Steal" content and suspending 70,000 QAnon-focused accounts, respectively. On April 19, 2021, the Soufan Center reported that Russia and China had amplified and "weaponized" QAnon stories around the time of the attack "to sow societal discord and even compromise legitimate political processes." | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_incidents_involving_QAnon |
PTCH1 has a sterol sensing domain (SSD), which has been shown to be essential for suppression of SMO activity. A current theory suggests that PTCH regulates SMO by removing oxysterols from SMO. PTCH acts like a sterol pump and removes oxysterols that have been created by 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog_signaling |
It is hard to define fact from belief and thus there are scholars who prefer to separate common knowledge from common belief. Common belief is something that is more easily defined because the requirement is only that a majority of people within a specific group, community, or society believe something to be true whereas common knowledge must meet this requirement and also prove that the belief is a fact. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_knowledge |
The original release of Liberation received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its setting and protagonist, but disliked the narrative's execution and certain aspects of the gameplay, while feeling that the title was limited by its status as a spin-off. A fully remade version of the game, titled Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD, was released in January 2014 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows via the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and Steam, respectively. A remastered version of Liberation HD was released as part of Assassin's Creed III Remastered for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Windows, and the Nintendo Switch in 2019. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin's_Creed_III:_Liberation |
Outside of East Asia a number of artists also worked with greenware to varying degrees of success in regards to purity and quality.

The 7.65×25mm Borchardt was also the basis of the 7.65×21mm Parabellum and 9×19mm Parabellum cartridges developed for the Luger pistol. The shorter case length of the 7.65×21mm Parabellum allowed for improvements in the Luger pistol, including a shorter stroke in the toggle mechanism as well as a smaller grip. The same shorter length of cartridge was maintained when the design transitioned to the 9×19mm Parabellum. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.65×25mm_Borchardt |
Pets has grown at a fast rate over time as owners are concerned for their companion animals' health. In contrast farmed animal vaccines generally only produced when there is a zoonotic disease or it had a significant effect on international trade. Rather than producing for the sole reason of caring for the animal such as with pets, farmed animals are vaccinated for human safety and economic means. This clearly links to pharmacovigilance (monitoring the effects of licensed drugs). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_vaccination |
A nanophotonic resonator or nanocavity is an optical cavity which is on the order of tens to hundreds of nanometers in size. Optical cavities are a major component of all lasers, they are responsible for providing amplification of a light source via positive feedback, a process known as amplified spontaneous emission or ASE. Nanophotonic resonators offer inherently higher light energy confinement than ordinary cavities, which means stronger light-material interactions, and therefore lower lasing threshold provided the quality factor of the resonator is high. Nanophotonic resonators can be made with photonic crystals, silicon, diamond, or metals such as gold. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanophotonic_resonator |
One theory is giant impacts during the early and mid-Noachian periods stopped the dynamo by decreasing global heat flow at the core-mantle boundary.The seismic measurements from the InSight lander revealed that the Martian outer core is in a liquid state and larger than expected. In one model, a partially crystallized Martian core explains the current state of Mars (i.e., lack of magnetic field despite liquid outer core), and this model predicts that the magnetic field has the potential to be reactivated in the future. == References == | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field_of_Mars |

For example: say a tank engine takes an estimated 35 days to ship by sea from the US to South Korea. If the engine is sent on 06104 (Friday, 14 April 2006), it should arrive on 06139 (Friday, 19 May). Note that outside of the US military and some US government agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service, this format is usually referred to as "ordinal date", rather than "Julian date".Such ordinal date formats are also used by many computer programs (especially those for mainframe systems). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date |
The EPA recommends wearing gloves when handling CCA-treated wood, wearing goggles and masks when sawing or sanding it, and never burning it.CCA-treated wood should not be used where it may come in contact with food, such as in kitchen tops, cutting boards, or beehives. It should not be exposed to chemicals such as bleaches, acids, soda, etc.Timber should be inspected for residues of CCA on the surface that could easily be dislodged. Sealants or other coatings will reduce the risk of environmental contamination.Disposal of scrap and waste CCA-treated timber should be done only in approved incinerators or controlled landfill sites, which are designed to handle potentially toxic wastes such as paints, insecticides, batteries, etc. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromated_copper_arsenate |
For example, a spreadsheet from the United Kingdom called "High Libido MPs" and dubbed "the spreadsheet of shame" was created by a group of male and female Parliamentary researchers, and contained a list of allegations against nearly 40 Conservative MPs in the British Parliament. It is also rumored that party whips (who are in charge of getting members of Parliament to commit to votes) maintain a "black book" that contains allegations against several lawmakers that can be used for blackmail. When it is claimed a well-known person's sexual misconduct was an "open secret", these lists are often the source. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_Too_movement |
It possesses a ring system and one known moon, Weywot. Orcus (39.40 AU average from the Sun) is in the same 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune as Pluto, and is the largest such object after Pluto itself.

Nevertheless, human-centered design that doesn't reflect very specific groups of users and their needs is human-centered design poorly executed, since the principles of human-system interaction require the reflection of those specified needs. Whilst users are very important for some types of innovation (namely incremental innovation), focusing too much on the user may result in producing an outdated or no longer necessary product or service. This is because the insights that you achieve from studying the user today are insights that are related to the users of today and the environment she or he lives in today. If your solution will be available only two or three years from now, your user may have developed new preferences, wants and needs by then. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-centered_design |
According to some, the name of Quartzsite, a mining town in Arizona, was spelled wrongly. It should be Quartzite, after the mineral quartzite. Zenith – Arabic zamt was misread; in Latin letters, at the time, the letter i was never dotted, so "m" looked like "ni". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variant_spellings |

As of 2010, the number of Americans visiting email web sites had fallen 6 percent after peaking in November 2009. For persons 12 to 17, the number was down 18 percent. Young people preferred instant messaging, texting and social media. Technology writer Matt Richtel said in The New York Times that email was like the VCR, vinyl records and film cameras—no longer cool and something older people do.A 2015 survey of Android users showed that persons 13 to 24 used messaging apps 3.5 times as much as those over 45, and were far less likely to use email. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_headers |
The Viking expeditions to Orkney are recorded in detail in the 11th century Orkneyinga sagas and later texts such as the Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar. According to the latter, King Haakon IV of Norway anchored his fleet, including the flagship Kroussden that could carry nearly 300 men, on 5 August 1263 at St Margaret's Hope, where he saw an eclipse of the sun before he sailed south to the Battle of Largs. En route back to Norway Haakon anchored some of his fleet in Scapa Flow for the winter, but he died that December while staying at the Bishop's Palace in Kirkwall. In the 15th century towards the end of Norse rule in Orkney, the islands were run by the jarls from large manor farms, some of which were at Burray, Burwick, Paplay, Hoy, and Cairston (near Stromness) to guard the entrances to the Flow. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapa_Flow |
Cobb remains on EcoCiv's board of directors.In 2019, Cobb led the formation and was a founding board member of the Claremont Institute for Process Studies, a non-profit organization that aims to "promote a process-relational worldview to advance wisdom, harmony, and the common good" by engaging "in local initiatives and cultivates compassionate communities to bring about an ecological civilization." One year later, the organization was renamed the Cobb Institute to honor his life, leadership, and influence, and to better align its work and mission with its name. Cobb continues to be an active board member and guiding influence.In 2021, several individuals supportive of Cobb's works on environmental issues celebrated his 97th birthday by establishing the Living Earth Movement. The nonprofit organization's two-fold mission is to get the U.S. and China to cooperate for the sake of all life on this planet and to promote the foundations for a new kind of ecological civilization in which humans would learn to value and cooperate with the rest of the ecosphere. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_B._Cobb |
It recognizes educators who use ed tech for learning effectively. The process to obtain this credential has three parts: a two-day, in-person training workshop, a five- to eight-week online course (led by a professional development facilitator and with a cohort), and a final submission of a portfolio of artefacts to ISTE for review and evaluation. The certification program is delivered through ISTE-selected Certification Authorized Providers across the world. In 2022 ISTE announced that, pending a vote by the ASCD members, the two organizations would merge to form a new organization that had expanded professional learning reach and options. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Society_for_Technology_in_Education |
Restorative Yoga is mainly for practitioners suffering from injuries, stress, or illness, who therefore require a yoga practice that can bring them back to a better quality of life; classes are necessarily small so that each person can receive detailed attention to ensure they are safe and properly supported. Yin Yoga uses props in a similar way, and holds poses for similarly long periods, but is aimed mainly at healthy practitioners, and is taught in larger classes. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restorative_Yoga |
Cargo shorts are cargo pants shortened at the knee. Some cargo pants are made with removable lower legs allowing conversion into shorts. In 1980, cargo shorts were marketed as ideal for the sportsman or fisherman, with the pocket flaps ensuring that pocket contents were secure and unlikely to fall out. By the mid-to-late 1990s, cargo shorts found popularity among mainstream men's fashion. In 2012, Tim Gunn observed that while the pockets were undeniably useful for carrying things for work or other everyday tools, cargo shorts were more practical than elegant. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_pants |
In the 1930s it was the intention of the city fathers to create a playground for children whose families were crowded in the gully between the Symonds Street and Great North Road ridges during the Depression where Eden Terrace, Arch Hill and Newton suburbs were found. Certain private owned sections of land were bequeathed to Auckland City Council also to be used as a recreation area. Hard wood paving cobbles, that were originally used for roading on the waterfront of Auckland, were in the 1970s dumped on the eastern edge of the park in preparation to filling in a ramp that would carry a road through to Dominion and New North Road. One source states that the intention of the Auckland City Council was to build a fly-over of the Park. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_Park |
The Ethics Organization of Computer Software (一般社団法人コンピュータソフトウェア倫理機構, Ippan Shadan Hōjin Konpyūta Sofutowea Rinri Kikō) (EOCS, or Sofurin) is an incorporated association that rates PC games in Japan. It was established on November 20, 1992, and was incorporated in 2009. The association also works to crack down on copyright infringement of PC games for the companies it represents, and sponsors the Moe Game Award (萌えゲーアワード) to help PC game sales.The current ratings are: General Software - All ages. General Software (recommended to ages 12 and over) General Software (recommended to ages 15 and over) Software that is banned from selling to persons under 18 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_content_rating_system |
AIHA can be caused by a number of different classes of antibody, with IgG and IgM antibodies being the main causative classes. Depending on which is involved, the pathology will differ. IgG is not very effective at activating complement and effectively binds the Fc receptor (FcR) of phagocytic cells, AIHA involving IgG is generally characterized by phagocytosis of RBCs. IgM is a potent activator of the classical complement pathway, thus, AIHA involving IgM is characterized by complement-mediated lysis of RBCs. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_hemolytic_anemia |
Ochetellus glaber was originally described as Hypoclinea glabra by Austrian entomologist Gustav Mayr in his "Myrmecologische studien" in 1862. The ant was described from syntype workers and males Mayr collected from Sydney, Australia, now preserved in the Natural History Museum, London. Its placement in Hypoclinea was relatively short, as Mayr transferred it to the genus Iridomyrmex as Iridomyrmex glaber in 1865. Its placement in Iridomyrmex was accepted for more than a century, until entomologist Steve Shattuck revised the genus in 1992 and transferred the ant into a new genus, Ochetellus. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_house_ant |
Canadian championship curling tournaments, of which the premier bonspiels are the Brier (for men) and the Tournament of Hearts (for women) use tie-breaker games when teams tie between qualifying and non-qualifying positions in the round robin standings. While the tie-breaker has always been a one-game playoff in cases where two teams have been tied, when the Brier was first held in the 1920s (long before the introduction of automatic playoffs) the tie-breaker would consist of an additional mini-round robin if more than two teams tied for the title. Later, as the Brier field became fixed as consisting of teams representing every province plus Northern Ontario, the tie-breaker evolved to consist of "semi-final" and "final" stages in cases of ties involving three or more teams. The last tie-breaker games for a Brier title before the introduction of automatic playoffs took place in 1971 when three teams tied for first place. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-game_playoff |
In 2006, President George W. Bush issued an Executive Order (No. 13410) that every person in the country should have an EHR by 2014. In 2007/2008, the Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel selected and recommended the Clinical Care Classification (CCC) System as the first national nursing terminology inter operable for the exchange of information among HIT systems. The CCC System was one of the standards in the first set of 55 national standards approved for use in the EHR, by the Department of Health and Human Services (AHIC, 2006) and the only national nursing terminology standard. In 2020, HCA Healthcare became the new custodian of Dr. Virginia Saba’s Clinical Care Classification (CCC) System. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_Care_Classification_System |
V = x 3 + a x {\displaystyle V=x^{3}+ax\,} When a < 0, the potential V has two extrema - one stable, and one unstable. If the parameter a is slowly increased, the system can follow the stable minimum point. But at a = 0 the stable and unstable extrema meet, and annihilate. This is the bifurcation point. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catastrophe_theory |

Explicit MPC (eMPC) allows fast evaluation of the control law for some systems, in stark contrast to the online MPC. Explicit MPC is based on the parametric programming technique, where the solution to the MPC control problem formulated as optimization problem is pre-computed offline. This offline solution, i.e., the control law, is often in the form of a piecewise affine function (PWA), hence the eMPC controller stores the coefficients of the PWA for each a subset (control region) of the state space, where the PWA is constant, as well as coefficients of some parametric representations of all the regions. Every region turns out to geometrically be a convex polytope for linear MPC, commonly parameterized by coefficients for its faces, requiring quantization accuracy analysis. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Predictive_Control |
Therefore, the total of 254 runs can be replaced by 5.37 runs per over x 47.33 overs. Similarly, the total of 253 runs conceded can be replaced by 5.06 runs per over x 50 overs: ( 5.37 × 47.33 47.33 ) − ( 5.06 × 50 50 ) = ( 5.37 × 100 % ) − ( 5.06 × 100 % ) . {\displaystyle \left(5.37\times {\frac {\mbox{47.33}}{\mbox{47.33}}}\right)-\left(5.06\times {\frac {\mbox{50}}{\mbox{50}}}\right)=\left(5.37\times 100\%\right)-\left(5.06\times 100\%\right).} | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_Run_Rate |
These places may include luggage, vehicle interiors, furniture, bedside clutter—even inside electrical sockets or laptop computers. Bed bugs may also lodge near animals that have nested within a dwelling, such as bats, birds, or rodents. They can also survive by feeding on domestic cats and dogs, though humans are the preferred host of C. lectularius.A severe bedbug infestation can be detected by their characteristic pungent sweet smell, which has been described as like rotting raspberries. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedbug_infestation |
Calhoun pursued his experiments in behavior, using domesticated Norway rats, at his lab on the second floor of a huge barn on the Casey farm in the country outside Rockville, MD. The area is now a suburban center but the barn still stands, renovated for suburban usage. In the days of Calhoun's occupancy there was a small, cluttered office area at the top of the stairs. The rodent odor was overpowering, and it took some time before one could breathe normally.The research area was divided into three parts. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_B._Calhoun |
The effective force direction is reduced with respect to the aligned direction. F res = F cos θ {\displaystyle F_{\mbox{res}}=F\cos \theta } .

The responsibilities of an urban planner vary between jurisdictions, and sometimes within jurisdictions. The following is therefore a general description of the responsibilities of an urban planner, of which an urban planner may well typically practice two or more of. An urban planner may also specialize in one responsibility only. Urban planners are active in or regular come into contact with the urban planning, civil engineering, geography, public administration, real estate development, and architecture sectors. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_planner |
According to ASHRAE, "Existing evidence for direct impacts of Carbon dioxide (CO2) on health, well-being, learning outcomes, and work performance at commonly observed indoor concentrations is inconsistent, and therefore does not currently justify changes to ventilation and IAQ standards, regulations, or guidelines." NASA noted research on the CO2 levels found on submarines or spacecraft (of 3000ppm-7000ppm) had found it didn't affect the performance of astronauts or submarine officers. However, they decided to limit it to 5000ppm to avoid headaches. Whereas in non-specialised populations, pure CO2 at a concentration common in indoor environments was found to affect high-level decision-making.Moreover, it is a relatively easy to measure surrogate for indoor pollutants emitted by humans, and correlates with human metabolic activity. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_Air_Quality |
Operators were sometimes instructed to pour water on the earth plates to maintain connection. The plates must also be large enough to pass sufficient current. For the ground circuit to have a conductance as good as the conductor it replaces, the surface area of the plate is made larger than the cross-sectional area of the conductor by the same factor as the resistivity of the ground exceeds the resistivity of copper, or whatever other metal is being used for the wire. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-return_telegraph |
The Grimms also knew of eight other German variants. One theory holds that Snow White was an original creation by the Grimms’ younger brother Ferdinand. However, this is disproven by the existence of earlier adaptations such as “Richilde,” a 1782 version by Johann Karl August Musäus.Some earlier recorded tales share elements of the Snow White story, such as the Malay Syair Bidasari and the Italian “The Young Slave.” | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_the_Snow_White_tale |
Whenever the ratio of an object's mass to its radius becomes sufficiently large, general relativity predicts the formation of a black hole, a region of space from which nothing, not even light, can escape. In the currently accepted models of stellar evolution, neutron stars of around 1.4 solar masses, and stellar black holes with a few to a few dozen solar masses, are thought to be the final state for the evolution of massive stars. Usually a galaxy has one supermassive black hole with a few million to a few billion solar masses in its center, and its presence is thought to have played an important role in the formation of the galaxy and larger cosmic structures.Astronomically, the most important property of compact objects is that they provide a supremely efficient mechanism for converting gravitational energy into electromagnetic radiation. Accretion, the falling of dust or gaseous matter onto stellar or supermassive black holes, is thought to be responsible for some spectacularly luminous astronomical objects, notably diverse kinds of active galactic nuclei on galactic scales and stellar-size objects such as microquasars. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativistic |
Even at the outset of the Reformation, subtle differences of emphasis appeared. For example, because the Epistle of James emphasizes the importance of good works, Martin Luther sometimes referred to it as the "epistle of straw". Calvin on the other hand, while not intending to differ with Luther, wrote of the necessity of good works as a consequence or 'fruit' of faith. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justification_by_faith |
Shapeless raised, smooth, shiny, pimple-like, tiny bumps filled with water/fluid formed on breasts or in and around the nipple pore might appear. The colour of these fluid in nipple blebs may vary from white, yellow or transparent. They become flat when pressure is applied on them or punctured with hands. This can cause discomfort or pain to the lactating mother while breastfeeding. However, this may or may not be painful in general. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nipple_bleb |
A few varieties, for example, the Parlor Roller, are considered to be within the flying/sporting group even though they do not fly. This is because they compete on the basis of their performance and not their appearance. Competitors in pigeon sporting competitions such as pigeon races can win large sums of prize money when their pigeons return home the fastest from a race. The use of pigeons to carry messages is commonly called pigeon post. Pigeons can also carry small light-weight packages, and have been used to smuggle drugs into a prison. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon_coop |
Multi-character constants (e.g. 'xy') are valid, although rarely useful — they let one store several characters in an integer (e.g. 4 ASCII characters can fit in a 32-bit integer, 8 in a 64-bit one). Since the order in which the characters are packed into an int is not specified (left to the implementation to define), portable use of multi-character constants is difficult. Nevertheless, in situations limited to a specific platform and the compiler implementation, multicharacter constants do find their use in specifying signatures. One common use case is the OSType, where the combination of Classic Mac OS compilers and its inherent big-endianness means that bytes in the integer appear in the exact order of characters defined in the literal. The definition by popular "implementations" are in fact consistent: in GCC, Clang, and Visual C++, '1234' yields 0x31323334 under ASCII. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_class_specifier |
The effects on Neoclassicism in art are very spotted through artworks and sculptures, but when it comes to music, it is at times overlooked. With the emergence of new ideals, and the shift towards independence from the crown, French society began to see a change in architecture and design, as well as in the arts. Their shift in music commenced the beginning of the romantic era in musical history. The revolts in France at the time, created an environment of hostility and uneasiness, forcing many opera writers to look to France's past in order to portray a sense of unification for the French commoners. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoclassicism_in_France |
For example, to find the entropy change q r e v T {\displaystyle {\frac {q_{\mathrm {rev} }}{T}}} from 300 K to 310 K, measure the amount of energy transferred at dozens or hundreds of temperature increments, say from 300.00 K to 300.01 K and then 300.01 to 300.02 and so on, dividing the q by each T, and finally adding them all. Calculus can be used to make this calculation easier if the effect of energy input to the system is linearly dependent on the temperature change, as in simple heating of a system at moderate to relatively high temperatures. Thus, the energy being transferred "per incremental change in temperature" (the heat capacity, C p {\displaystyle C_{p}} ), multiplied by the integral of d T T {\displaystyle {\frac {dT}{T}}} from T i n i t i a l {\displaystyle T_{\mathrm {initial} }} to T f i n a l {\displaystyle T_{\mathrm {final} }} , is directly given by Δ S = C p ln T f i n a l T i n i t i a l {\displaystyle \Delta S=C_{p}\ln {\frac {T_{\mathrm {final} }}{T_{\mathrm {initial} }}}} . | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_entropy |
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT, or PEMF therapy), also known as low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) is the use of electromagnetic fields in an attempt to heal non-union fractures and depression. By 2007 the FDA had cleared several such stimulation devices.In 2013 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned a manufacturer for promoting the device for unapproved uses such as cerebral palsy and spinal cord injury. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_electromagnetic_field_therapy |
An organism's behavioral strategies and ability to adapt will determine how they respond under different environmental conditions. Fitness is a common measure of adaptive success, and can be defined as the number of descendants left over after a group exhibits a particular behavioral strategy. Successful strategies will result in increased survival and reproduction, which in turn can be characterized as a profitable behavioral adaptation. == References == | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_behavior_(ecology) |
From Aristotle's perspective, the heart was composed of sinews which allowed the body to move.In the fourth century BC, Diocles of Carystus reasserted that the heart was the physiological centre of sensation and thought. He also recognised that the heart had two cardiac ears. Although Diocles also proposed that the left brain was responsible for intelligence and the right one was for sensation, he believed that the heart was dominant over the brain for listening and understanding. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiocentric_hypothesis |
CLEO proceeded to publish over sixty papers using the original CLEO I configuration of the detector.CLEO had competition in the measurement of B mesons, particularly from the ARGUS collaboration. The CLEO collaboration was worried that the ARGUS detector at DESY would be better than CLEO, therefore it began to plan for an upgrade. The improved detector would use a new drift chamber for tracking and dE/dx measurements, a cesium iodide calorimeter inside a new solenoid magnet, time of flight counters, and new muon detectors. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLEO_(particle_detector) |
Intelligence Support responsibilities also include supporting the Defense Warning System, Alert and Notification, and interfacing with the national intelligence community. The responsibilities of the Intelligence Support agencies include such activities as provisioning threat assessments; indications and warnings of potential attacks; advice and support to Sector CIAOs in the development of defense infrastructure sector monitoring and reporting; crisis management support; and counter-intelligence. This special function component is also tasked with the support to the DoD contingent of the NIPC related to intelligence and counter-intelligence. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._critical_infrastructure_protection |
Taylor–von Neumann–Sedov blast wave (or sometimes referred to as Sedov–von Neumann–Taylor blast wave) refers to a blast wave induced by a strong explosion. The blast wave was described by a self-similar solution independently by G. I. Taylor, John von Neumann and Leonid Sedov during World War II. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor–von_Neumann–Sedov_blast_wave |
He awarded the famous Katana "Kotetsu” which belonged to his ancestors to Chief Isami Kondo of Shinsengumi (Shogunate security police) at the end of Edo Era.Tomabechi was also trained in various Japanese martial arts including Judo, Kendo and Karate in his youthhood. There was Budo-Ban in Japan from 1945 to 1950 by Supreme Commander Allied Powers (SCAP). Dr. Tomabechi's grand father Hidetoshi Tomabechi, member of Japanese Diet, chief of Kano-Juku and an early instructor (8 dan) of Kodokan Judo for Jigoro Kano was a central figure in having Judo exempted from the ban. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideto_Tomabechi |
The BR/EDR ACL logical transport is used with either an ACL-C logical link for control data or an ACL-U logical link for user data and it is based on a BR/EDR Active Physical Link and either the BR/EDR Basic Piconet Physical Channel or the BR/EDR Adapted Piconet Physical Channel. See Figure 2. Both ACL variants are designed to provide reliable, bi-directional, point to point communication. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_connection-oriented_logical_transport |
The comprehensible input hypothesis can be restated in terms of the natural order hypothesis. For example, if we acquire the rules of language in a linear order (1, 2, 3...), then i represents the last rule or language form learned, and i+1 is the next structure that should be learned. It must be stressed, however, that just any input is not sufficient; the input received must be comprehensible. According to Krashen, there are three corollaries to his theory. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_hypothesis |
This had important consequences for how its phonological system must be reconstructed. At the same time, continued work in philology and archeology was bringing to light an ever-growing corpus of non-standard, non-literary and non-classical Greek writings, e.g. inscriptions and later also papyri. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek_phonology |
Putnam and Searle, who are often credited with this view, maintain that computation is observer-related. In other words, if you want to view a system as computing then you can say that it is computing. Piccinini points out that, in this view, not only is everything computing, but also everything is computing in an indefinite number of ways. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurophilosophy |

One solar mass, M☉, can be converted to related units: 27068510 ML (Lunar mass) 332946 M🜨 (Earth mass) 1047.35 MJ (Jupiter mass) 1988.55 quettagrams (1.98855 ronnatonnes)It is also frequently useful in general relativity to express mass in units of length or time. M☉ G / c2 ≈ 1.48 km (half the Schwarzschild radius of the Sun) M☉ G / c3 ≈ 4.93 μsThe solar mass parameter (G·M☉), as listed by the IAU Division I Working Group, has the following estimates: 1.32712442099(10)×1020 m3s−2 (TCG-compatible) 1.32712440041(10)×1020 m3s−2 (TDB-compatible) | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_of_Sun |
In 1999, CAE began a new project to draw attention to the ways in which scientific discourses surrounding biotechnologies drew upon promissory religious rhetoric. This participatory performance was titled Cult of the New Eve (or CoNE when abbreviated) and included a "communion" using a random library of the entire genome of the first female donor to the Human Genome Project taken from a blood sample. CAE spliced the genome and inserted it into yeast, which was then placed into host wafers and beer given to audience members who were willing to participate. The genome from the donor is intended to represent a 'New Eve… a sacrosant Messiah'. The project also offers public and online preaching, baptisms, communion, sacred theological and cosmological texts and prophecies. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_Art_Ensemble |
