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 .

Absolute zero is the lower limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale , a state at which the enthalpy and entropy of a cooled ideal gas reaches its minimum value , taken as 0 . Absolute zero is the point at which the fundamental particles of nature have minimal vibrational motion , retaining only quantum mechanical , zero - point energy - induced particle motion . The theoretical temperature is determined by extrapolating the ideal gas law ; by international agreement , absolute zero is taken as − 273.15 ° on the Celsius scale ( International System of Units ) , which equates to − 459.67 ° on the Fahrenheit scale ( United States customary units or Imperial units ) . The corresponding Kelvin and Rankine temperature scales set their zero points at absolute zero by definition .

The first - move advantage in chess is the inherent advantage of the player ( White ) who makes the first move in chess . Chess players and theorists generally agree that White begins the game with some advantage . Since 1851 , compiled statistics support this view ; White consistently wins slightly more often than Black , usually scoring between 52 and 56 percent . White 's winning percentage is about the same for tournament games between humans and games between computers . However , White 's advantage is less significant in blitz games and games between novices .

The history of the Great Wall of China began when fortifications built by various states during the Spring and Autumn ( 771 -- 476 BC ) and Warring States periods ( 475 -- 221 BC ) were connected by the first emperor of China , Qin Shi Huang , to protect his newly founded Qin dynasty ( 221 -- 206 BC ) against incursions by nomads from Inner Asia . The walls were built of rammed earth , constructed using forced labour , and by 212 BC ran from Gansu to the coast of southern Manchuria .

As the neutral point of an electrical supply system is often connected to earth ground , ground and neutral are closely related . Under certain conditions , a conductor used to connect to a system neutral is also used for grounding ( earthing ) of equipment and structures . Current carried on a grounding conductor can result in objectionable or dangerous voltages appearing on equipment enclosures , so the installation of grounding conductors and neutral conductors is carefully defined in electrical regulations . Where a neutral conductor is used also to connect equipment enclosures to earth , care must be taken that the neutral conductor never rises to a high voltage with respect to local ground .

`` It 's All Coming Back to Me Now '' is a power ballad written by Jim Steinman . According to Steinman , the song was inspired by Wuthering Heights , and was an attempt to write `` the most passionate , romantic song '' he could ever create . The Sunday Times posits that `` Steinman protects his songs as if they were his children '' . Meat Loaf had wanted to record `` It 's All Coming Back ... '' for years , but Steinman saw it as a `` woman 's song . '' Steinman won a court movement preventing Meat Loaf from recording it . Girl group Pandora 's Box went on to record it and it was subsequently made famous through a cover by Celine Dion , which upset Meat Loaf because he was going to use it for a planned album with the working title Bat Out of Hell III . Alternately , Meat Loaf has said the song was intended for Bat Out of Hell II and given to the singer in 1986 , but that they both decided to use `` I 'd Do Anything for Love ( But I Wo n't Do That ) '' for Bat II , and save this song for Bat III .

A nonprofit organization , also known as a non-business entity , is an organization that has been formed by a group of people in order `` to pursue a common not - for - profit goal '' , that is , to pursue a stated goal without the intention of distributing excess revenue to members or leaders . A nonprofit organization is often dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a particular point of view . In economic terms , a nonprofit organization uses its surplus revenues to further achieve its purpose or mission , rather than distributing its surplus income to the organization 's shareholders ( or equivalents ) as profit or dividends . This is known as the non-distribution constraint . The decision to adopt a nonprofit legal structure is one that will often have taxation implications , particularly where the nonprofit seeks income tax exemption or charitable status .

The cell cycle or cell - division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA ( DNA replication ) to produce two daughter cells . In bacteria , which lack a cell nucleus , the cell cycle is divided into the B , C , and D periods . The B period extends from the end of cell division to the beginning of DNA replication . DNA replication occurs during the C period . The D period refers to the stage between the end of DNA replication and the splitting of the bacterial cell into two daughter cells . In cells with a nucleus , as in eukaryotes , the cell cycle is also divided into three periods : interphase , the mitotic ( M ) phase , and cytokinesis . During interphase , the cell grows , accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis , preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA . During the mitotic phase , the chromosomes separate . During the final stage , cytokinesis , the chromosomes and cytoplasm separate into two new daughter cells . To ensure the proper division of the cell , there are control mechanisms known as cell cycle checkpoints .

Capital punishment in the Republic of Ireland was abolished in statute law in 1990 , having been abolished in 1964 for most offences including ordinary murder . The last to be executed was Michael Manning , hanged for murder in 1954 . All subsequent death sentences , the last handed down in 1985 , were commuted by the President , on the advice of the Government , to terms of imprisonment of up to 40 years . The Twenty - first Amendment of the constitution , passed by referendum in 2001 , prohibits the reintroduction of the death penalty , even during a state of emergency or war . Capital punishment is also forbidden by several human rights treaties to which the state is a party .

An apple of discord is a reference to the Golden Apple of Discord ( Greek : μῆλον τῆς Ἔριδος ) which , according to Greek mythology , the goddess Eris ( Gr . Ἔρις , `` Strife '' ) tossed in the midst of the feast of the gods at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis as a prize of beauty , thus sparking a vanity - fueled dispute among Hera , Athena , and Aphrodite that eventually led to the Trojan War ( for the complete story , see The Judgement of Paris ) . Thus , `` apple of discord '' is used to signify the core , kernel , or crux of an argument , or a small matter that could lead to a bigger dispute .

The phonograph is a device , invented in 1877 , for the mechanical recording and reproduction of sound . In its later forms , it is also called a gramophone ( as a trademark since 1887 , as a generic name in the UK since 1910 ) , or , since the 1940s , a record player . The sound vibration waveforms are recorded as corresponding physical deviations of a spiral groove engraved , etched , incised , or impressed into the surface of a rotating cylinder or disc , called a `` record '' . To recreate the sound , the surface is similarly rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated by it , very faintly reproducing the recorded sound . In early acoustic phonographs , the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves which were coupled to the open air through a flaring horn , or directly to the listener 's ears through stethoscope - type earphones .

A sea breeze or onshore breeze is any wind that blows from a large body of water toward or onto a landmass ; it develops due to differences in air pressure created by the differing heat capacities of water and dry land . As such , sea breezes are more localised than prevailing winds . Because land absorbs solar radiation far more quickly than water , a sea breeze is a common occurrence along coasts after sunrise . By contrast , a land breeze or offshore breeze is the reverse effect : dry land also cools more quickly than water and , after sunset , a sea breeze dissipates and the wind instead flows from the land towards the sea . Sea breezes and land breezes are both important factors in coastal regions ' prevailing winds . The term offshore wind may refer to any wind over open water .

Portuguese discoveries ( Portuguese : Descobrimentos portugueses ) are the numerous territories and maritime routes discovered by the Portuguese as a result of their intensive maritime exploration during the 15th and 16th centuries . Portuguese sailors were at the vanguard of European overseas exploration , discovering and mapping the coasts of Africa , Canada , Asia and Brazil , in what became known as the Age of Discovery . Methodical expeditions started in 1419 along West Africa 's coast under the sponsorship of prince Henry the Navigator , with Bartolomeu Dias reaching the Cape of Good Hope and entering the Indian Ocean in 1488 . Ten years later , in 1498 , Vasco da Gama led the first fleet around Africa to India , arriving in Calicut and starting a maritime route from Portugal to India . Portuguese explorations then proceeded to southeast Asia , where they reached Japan in 1542 , forty - four years after their first arrival in India . In 1500 , the Portuguese nobleman Pedro Álvares Cabral became the first European to discover Brazil .

The United States Air Force became a separate military service on 18 September 1947 with the implementation of the National Security Act of 1947 . The Act created the National Military Establishment , later renamed the United States Department of Defense , which was composed of four of the five branches , the Army , Marine Corps , Navy , and a newly created Air Force . Prior to 1947 , the responsibility for military aviation was divided between the Army for land - based operations and the Navy and Marine Corps for sea - based operations from aircraft carrier and amphibious aircraft . The Army created the first antecedent of the Air Force on 1 August 1907 , which through a succession of changes of organization , titles , and missions advanced toward eventual separation 40 years later . The predecessor organizations leading up to today 's U.S. Air Force are :

The following are controversial invocations of the USA PATRIOT Act . The stated purpose of the Act is to `` deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world , to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools , and for other purposes . '' One criticism of the Act is that `` other purposes '' often includes the detection and prosecution of non-terrorist alleged future crimes .

Impeachment in the United States is the process by which the lower house of a legislature brings charges against a civil officer of government for crimes alleged to have been committed , analogous to the bringing of an indictment by a grand jury . At the federal level , this is done by the House of Representatives . Most impeachments have concerned alleged crimes committed while in office , though there have been a few cases in which officials have been impeached and subsequently convicted for prior crimes . The impeached official remains in office until a trial is held . That trial , and their removal from office if convicted , is separate from the act of impeachment itself . Analogous to a trial before a judge and jury , these proceedings are ( where the legislature is bicameral ) conducted by upper house of the legislature , which at the federal level is the Senate .

Orcein , also archil , orchil , lacmus and C.I. Natural Red 28 , are names for dyes extracted from several species of lichen , commonly known as `` orchella weeds '' , found in various parts of the world . A major source is the archil lichen , Roccella tinctoria . Orcinol is extracted from such lichens . It is then converted to orcein by ammonia and air . In traditional dye - making methods , urine was used as the ammonia source . If the conversion is carried out in the presence of potassium carbonate , calcium hydroxide , and calcium sulfate ( in the form of potash , lime , and gypsum in traditional dye - making methods ) , the result is litmus , a more complex molecule . The manufacture was described by Cocq in 1812 and in the UK in 1874 . Roberts noted orchilla as a principal export of the Cape Verde islands , superior to the same kind of moss found in Italy or the Canaries , that in 1832 was yielding an annual revenue of $200,000 . Commercial archil is either a powder ( called cudbear ) or a paste . It is red in acidic pH and blue in alkaline pH .

Shema Yisrael ( or Sh'ma Yisrael ; Hebrew : שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל ‎ ; `` Hear , ( O ) Israel '' ) are the first two words of a section of the Torah , and is the title ( sometimes shortened to simply Shema ) of a prayer that serves as a centerpiece of the morning and evening Jewish prayer services . The first verse encapsulates the monotheistic essence of Judaism : `` Hear , O Israel : the LORD our God , the LORD is one '' ( Hebrew : שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד ׃ ‎ ) , found in Deuteronomy 6 : 4 , sometimes alternatively translated as `` The LORD is our God , the LORD is one . '' Observant Jews consider the Shema to be the most important part of the prayer service in Judaism , and its twice - daily recitation as a mitzvah ( religious commandment ) . It is traditional for Jews to say the Shema as their last words , and for parents to teach their children to say it before they go to sleep at night .

The passé simple ( French pronunciation : ​ ( pase sɛ̃pl ) , simple past or preterite ) , also called the passé défini ( IPA : ( pase defini ) , definite past ) , is the literary equivalent of the passé composé in the French language , used predominantly in formal writing ( including history and literature ) and formal speech . As with other preterites , it is used when the action has a definite beginning and end and has already been completed , comparable to the Ancient Greek aorist . In writing it is most often used for narration . While literary and refined language still hangs on to the passé simple , the spoken language has simply renounced passé simple for the passé composé , which means that in spoken French , there is no longer a nuance between :

Nemo me impune lacessit was the Latin motto of the Royal Stuart dynasty of Scotland from at least the reign of James VI when it appeared on the reverse side of merk coins minted in 1578 and 1580 . It is the adopted motto of the Order of the Thistle and of three Scottish regiments of the British Army . The motto also appears , in conjunction with the collar of the Order of the Thistle , in later versions of the Royal coat of arms of the Kingdom of Scotland and subsequently in the version of the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom used in Scotland . It means No one `` cuts '' ( attacks / assails ) me with impunity , and has been loosely rendered in Scots as Wha daur meddle wi me ? ( in Scottish Gaelic Cha togar m ' fhearg gun dìoladh , Scottish Gaelic pronunciation : ( xa t̪okəɾ mɛɾak kuɲ tjiəl̪ɣəɣ ) ) . It is also alternatively translated into English as No one can harm me unpunished .

Neurotransmission ( Latin : transmissio `` passage , crossing '' from transmittere `` send , let through '' ) , also called synaptic transmission , is the process by which signaling molecules called neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal of a neuron ( the presynaptic neuron ) , and bind to and activate the receptors on the dendrites of another neuron ( the postsynaptic neuron ) . A similar process occurs in retrograde neurotransmission , where the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron release retrograde neurotransmitters ( e.g. , endocannabinoids ) that signal through receptors that are located on the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron , mainly at GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses .

Romanesque Architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches . There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque style , with proposals ranging from the 6th to the late 10th century , this later date being the most commonly held . It developed in the 12th century into the Gothic style , marked by pointed arches . Examples of Romanesque architecture can be found across the continent , making it the first pan-European architectural style since Imperial Roman Architecture . The Romanesque style in England is traditionally referred to as Norman architecture .

Pleiotropy ( from Greek πλείων pleion , `` more '' , and τρόπος tropos , `` way '' ) occurs when one gene influences two or more seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits . Therefore , a mutation in a pleiotropic gene may have an effect on several traits simultaneously due to the gene coding for a product used by a myriad of cells or different targets that have the same signaling function .
