The carrying capacity of a biological species in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely , given the food , habitat , water , and other necessities available in the environment . In population biology , carrying capacity is defined as the environment 's maximal load , which is different from the concept of population equilibrium . Its effect on population dynamics may be approximated in a logistic model , although this simplification ignores the possibility of overshoot which real systems may exhibit .

The Cambridge equation formally represents the Cambridge cash - balance theory , an alternative approach to the classical quantity theory of money . Both quantity theories , Cambridge and classical , attempt to express a relationship among the amount of goods produced , the price level , amounts of money , and how money moves . The Cambridge equation focuses on money demand instead of money supply . The theories also differ in explaining the movement of money : In the classical version , associated with Irving Fisher , money moves at a fixed rate and serves only as a medium of exchange while in the Cambridge approach money acts as a store of value and its movement depends on the desirability of holding cash .

Copernican heliocentrism is the name given to the astronomical model developed by Nicolaus Copernicus and published in 1543 . It positioned the Sun near the center of the Universe , motionless , with Earth and the other planets orbiting around it in circular paths modified by epicycles and at uniform speeds . The Copernican model departed from the Ptolemaic system that had prevailed for centuries , placing Earth at the center of the Universe , and is often regarded as the launching point to modern astronomy and the Scientific Revolution .

Comparative historical research is a method of social science that examines historical events in order to create explanations that are valid beyond a particular time and place , either by direct comparison to other historical events , theory building , or reference to the present day . Generally , it involves comparisons of social processes across times and places . It overlaps with historical sociology . While the disciplines of history and sociology have always been connected , they have connected in different ways at different times . This form of research may use any of several theoretical orientations . It is distinguished by the types of questions it asks , not the theoretical framework it employs .

In Greek mythology , Charon or Kharon ( / ˈkɛərɒn , - ən / ; Greek Χάρων ) is the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead . A coin to pay Charon for passage , usually an obolus or danake , was sometimes placed in or on the mouth of a dead person . Some authors say that those who could not pay the fee , or those whose bodies were left unburied , had to wander the shores for one hundred years . In the catabasis mytheme , heroes -- such as Aeneas , Dionysus , Heracles , Hermes , Odysseus , Orpheus , Pirithous , Psyche , Theseus and Sisyphus -- journey to the underworld and return , still alive , conveyed by the boat of Charon .

Mormonism is the predominant religious tradition of the Latter Day Saint movement of Restorationist Christianity . Joseph Smith founded the movement in Western New York in the 1820s . During the 1830s and 1840s , it distinguished itself from traditional Protestantism . Mormonism represents the faith taught by Smith in the 1840s . After he was killed in 1844 , most Mormons followed Brigham Young on his westward journey to the area that became the Utah Territory , calling themselves The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ( LDS Church ) . Other sects include Mormon fundamentalism , which seeks to maintain practices and doctrines such as polygamy , and various other small independent denominations . The second - largest Latter Day Saint denomination , the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints , since 2001 called the Community of Christ , does not describe itself as `` Mormon '' , but instead follows a Trinitarian Christian restorationist theology , and also considers itself Restorationist in terms of Latter Day Saint doctrine .

The Eclipse of Thales was a solar eclipse that was , according to The Histories of Herodotus , accurately predicted by the Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus . If Herodotus 's account is accurate , this eclipse is the earliest recorded as being known in advance of its occurrence . Many historians believe that the predicted eclipse was the solar eclipse of May 28 , 585 BC . How exactly Thales predicted the eclipse remains uncertain ; some historians claim the eclipse was never predicted at all . Others have argued for different dates .

Second messengers are intracellular signaling molecules released by the cell to trigger physiological changes such as proliferation , differentiation , migration , survival , and apoptosis . Secondary messengers are therefore one of the initiating components of intracellular signal transduction cascades . Examples of second messenger molecules include cyclic AMP , cyclic GMP , inositol trisphosphate , diacylglycerol , and calcium . The cell releases second messenger molecules in response to exposure to extracellular signaling molecules -- the first messengers . First messengers are extracellular factors , often hormones or neurotransmitters , such as epinephrine , growth hormone , and serotonin . Because peptide hormones and neurotransmitters typically are biochemically hydrophilic molecules , these first messengers may not physically cross the phospholipid bilayer to initiate changes within the cell directly -- unlike steroid hormones , which usually do . This functional limitation necessitates the cell to devise signal transduction mechanisms to transduce first messenger into second messengers , so that the extracellular signal may be propagated intracellularly . An important feature of the second messenger signaling system is that second messengers may be coupled downstream to multi-cyclic kinase cascades to greatly amplify the strength of the original first messenger signal . For example , RasGTP signals link with the Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase ( MAPK ) cascade to amplify the allosteric activation of proliferative transcription factors such as Myc and CREB .

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex . In vertebrates , most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain , but synapse in the spinal cord . This allows for faster reflex actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain . However , the brain will receive the sensory input while the reflex is being carried out and the analysis of the signal takes place after the reflex action .

Writers of Sporting News described hitting four home runs in a single Major League Baseball ( MLB ) game as `` baseball 's greatest single - game accomplishment '' . Eighteen players have accomplished the feat to date , the most recent being J.D. Martinez -- then with the Arizona Diamondbacks -- against the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 4 , 2017 . No player has done this more than once in his career and no player has ever hit more than four in a game . Bobby Lowe was the first to hit four home runs in a single game , doing so on May 30 , 1894 . Fans were reportedly so excited that they threw $160 in silver coins ( $4,500 today ) onto the field after his fourth home run .

In biology , cell theory is the historic scientific theory , now universally accepted , that living organisms are made up of cells , that they are the basic structural / organizational unit of all organisms , and that all cells come from pre-existing cells . Cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction . With continual improvements made to microscopes over time , magnification technology advanced enough to discover cells in the 17th century . This discovery is largely attributed to Robert Hooke , and began the scientific study of cells , also known as cell biology . Over a century later , many debates about cells began amongst scientists . Most of these debates involved the nature of cellular regeneration , and the idea of cells as a fundamental unit of life . Cell theory was eventually formulated in 1839 . This is usually credited to Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann . However , many other scientists like Rudolf Virchow contributed to the theory . It was an important step in the movement away from spontaneous generation .

Plant stem cells are innately undifferentiated cells located in the meristems of plants . Plant stem cells serve as the origin of plant vitality , as they maintain themselves while providing a steady supply of precursor cells to form differentiated tissues and organs in plants . Two distinct areas of stem cells are recognised : the apical meristem and the lateral meristem .

In the United States , judicial review is the ability of a court to examine and decide if a statute , treaty or administrative regulation contradicts or violates the provisions of existing law , a State Constitution , or ultimately the United States Constitution . While the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly define a power of judicial review , the authority for judicial review in the United States has been inferred from the structure , provisions , and history of the Constitution .

Binomial nomenclature , also called binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature , is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts , both of which use Latin grammatical forms , although they can be based on words from other languages . Such a name is called a binomial name ( which may be shortened to just `` binomial '' ) , a binomen , binominal name or a scientific name ; more informally it is also called a Latin name . The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs ; the second part -- the specific name or specific epithet -- identifies the species within the genus . For example , humans belong to the genus Homo and within this genus to the species Homo sapiens . Tyrannosaurus rex is probably the most widely known binomial . The formal introduction of this system of naming species is credited to Carl Linnaeus , effectively beginning with his work Species Plantarum in 1753 . But Gaspard Bauhin , in as early as 1623 , had introduced in his book Pinax theatri botanici ( English , Illustrated exposition of plants ) many names of genera that were later adopted by Linnaeus .

This is a list of host cities of the Olympic Games , both summer and winter , since the modern Olympics began in 1896 . Since then , summer games have usually -- but not always -- celebrated a four - year period known as an Olympiad . There have been 28 Summer Olympic Games held in 23 cities , and 23 Winter Olympic Games held in 20 cities . In addition , three summer and two winter editions of the Games were scheduled to take place but later cancelled due to war : Berlin ( summer ) in 1916 ; Tokyo / Helsinki ( summer ) and Sapporo / Garmisch - Partenkirchen ( winter ) in 1940 ; and London ( summer ) and Cortina d'Ampezzo , Italy ( winter ) in 1944 . The 1906 Summer Olympics were officially sanctioned and held in Athens . However , in 1949 , the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) , decided to unrecognize the 1906 Games . Four cities have been chosen by the IOC to host upcoming Olympic Games : Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics , Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics , Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics , and Los Angeles for the 2028 Summer Olympics .

The First Transcontinental Railroad ( known originally as the `` Pacific Railroad '' and later as the `` Overland Route '' ) was a 1,912 - mile ( 3,077 km ) continuous railroad line constructed between 1863 and 1869 that connected the existing eastern U.S. rail network at Omaha , Nebraska / Council Bluffs , Iowa with the Pacific coast at the Oakland Long Wharf on San Francisco Bay . The rail line was built by three private companies over public lands provided by extensive US land grants . Construction was financed by both state and US government subsidy bonds as well as by company issued mortgage bonds . The Western Pacific Railroad Company built 132 mi ( 212 km ) of track from Oakland / Alameda to Sacramento , California . The Central Pacific Railroad Company of California ( CPRR ) constructed 690 mi ( 1,110 km ) eastward from Sacramento to Promontory Summit , Utah Territory ( U.T. ) . The Union Pacific built 1,085 mi ( 1,746 km ) from the road 's eastern terminus at Council Bluffs near Omaha , Nebraska westward to Promontory Summit .

Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia or ammonium to nitrite followed by the oxidation of the nitrite to nitrate . The transformation of ammonia to nitrite is usually the rate limiting step of nitrification . Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil . Nitrification is an aerobic process performed by small groups of autotrophic bacteria and archaea . This process was discovered by the Russian microbiologist Sergei Winogradsky .

In ecology , primary production is the synthesis of organic compounds from atmospheric or aqueous carbon dioxide . It principally occurs through the process of photosynthesis , which uses light as its source of energy , but it also occurs through chemosynthesis , which uses the oxidation or reduction of inorganic chemical compounds as its source of energy . Almost all life on Earth relies directly or indirectly on primary production . The organisms responsible for primary production are known as primary producers or autotrophs , and form the base of the food chain . In terrestrial ecoregions , these are mainly plants , while in aquatic ecoregions algae predominate in this role . Ecologists distinguish primary production as either net or gross , the former accounting for losses to processes such as cellular respiration , the latter not .

In music , modulation is most commonly the act or process of changing from one key ( tonic , or tonal center ) to another . This may or may not be accompanied by a change in key signature . Modulations articulate or create the structure or form of many pieces , as well as add interest . Treatment of a chord as the tonic for less than a phrase is considered tonicization .

An electronic cigarette is a battery - powered vaporizer . The primary parts that make up an e-cigarette are a mouthpiece , a cartridge ( tank ) , a heating element / atomizer , a microprocessor , a battery , and possibly a LED light on the end . An atomizer comprises a small heating element that vaporizes e-liquid and wicking material that draws liquid onto the coil . When the user pushes a button , or ( in some variations ) activates a pressure sensor by inhaling , the heating element then atomizes the liquid solution The e-liquid reaches a temperature of roughly 100 - 250 ° C within a chamber to create an aerosolized vapor . The user inhales the aerosol , commonly called vapor , rather than cigarette smoke . The aerosol provides a flavor and feel similar to tobacco smoking .

Proteins are large biomolecules , or macromolecules , consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues . Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms , including catalysing metabolic reactions , DNA replication , responding to stimuli , and transporting molecules from one location to another . Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids , which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes , and which usually results in protein folding into a specific three - dimensional structure that determines its activity .

The blood moon prophecy was a series of apocalyptic beliefs promoted by Christian ministers John Hagee and Mark Biltz , which state that a tetrad ( a series of four consecutive lunar eclipses -- coinciding on Jewish holidays -- with six full moons in between , and no intervening partial lunar eclipses ) which began with the April 2014 lunar eclipse is a sign of the beginning of the end times as described in the Bible in the Book of Joel , Acts 2 : 20 , and Revelation 6 : 12 . The tetrad ended with the lunar eclipse on September 27 -- 28 , 2015 .

The short title is the formal name by which a piece of primary legislation may by law be cited in the United Kingdom and other Westminster - influenced jurisdictions ( such as Canada or Australia ) , as well as the United States and the Philippines . It contrasts with the long title which , while usually being more fully descriptive of the legislation 's purpose and effects , is generally too unwieldy for most uses . For example , the short title House of Lords Act 1999 contrasts with the long title An Act to restrict membership of the House of Lords by virtue of a hereditary peerage ; to make related provision about disqualifications for voting at elections to , and for membership of , the House of Commons ; and for connected purposes .

Skeleton in the closet or skeleton in the cupboard is a colloquial phrase and idiom used to describe an undisclosed fact about someone which , if revealed , would have a negative impact on perceptions of the person ; it hyperbolically evokes the idea of someone having had a ( presumedly human ) corpse concealed in their home so long that it had decomposed but for its bones . `` Cupboard '' is used in British English instead of the American English word `` closet '' . It is known to have been used as a phrase , at least as early as November 1816 , in the monthly British journal The Eclectic Review , page 468 . It is listed in both the Oxford English Dictionary , and Webster 's Dictionary , under the word `` skeleton '' . The `` Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary '' lists it under this but also as a separate idiom . In the most derisive of usage ; murder , or significant culpability in a years - old disappearance or non-understood event ( a mystery ) , may be implied by the phrase .
