-336823638788056690 | which part of the neuron undergoes graded potentials | <P> Graded potentials that make the membrane potential less negative or more positive, thus making the postsynaptic cell more likely to have an action potential, are called excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs). Depolarizing local potentials sum together, and if the voltage reaches the threshold potential, an action potential occurs in that cell. </P> | membrane |
-6897259209668416613 | when did thanks giving become a national holiday | <P> Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a public holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.

-4223268165267258116 | according to the law of demand a decrease in the price of a good causes | <P> In microeconomics, the law of demand states that, ``conditional on all else being equal, as the price of a good increases (↑), quantity demanded decreases (↓); conversely, as the price of a good decreases (↓), quantity demanded increases (↑) ''. In other words, the law of demand describes an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded of a good. Alternatively, other things being constant, quantity demanded of a commodity is inversely related to the price of the commodity. For example, a consumer may demand 2 kilograms of apples at Rs 70 per kg; he may, however, demand 1 kg if the price rises to Rs 80 per kg. This has been the general human behaviour on relationship between the price of the commodity and the quantity demanded. The factors held constant refer to other determinants of demand, such as the prices of other goods and the consumer's income. There are, however, some possible exceptions to the law of demand, such as Giffen goods and Veblen goods. </P> | quantity demanded increases |
201374501561554406 | where is peptidoglycan found in a bacterial cell | <P> Peptidoglycan, also known as murein, is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh - like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria, forming the cell wall. The sugar component consists of alternating residues of β - (1, 4) linked N - acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N - acetylmuramic acid (NAM). Attached to the N - acetylmuramic acid is a peptide chain of three to five amino acids. The peptide chain can be cross-linked to the peptide chain of another strand forming the 3D mesh - like layer. Peptidoglycan serves a structural role in the bacterial cell wall, giving structural strength, as well as counteracting the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm. A common misconception is that peptidoglycan gives the cell its shape; however, whereas peptidoglycan helps maintain the structural strength of the cell, it is actually the MreB protein that facilitates cell shape. Peptidoglycan is also involved in binary fission during bacterial cell reproduction. </P> | outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria, forming the cell wall |

6301792945472876677 | what is an anti-theft device on a car | <P> In the case of vehicle theft, the best deterrent to theft is in the installation of an approved vehicle anti theft passive immobilizer. Many vehicles have OEM (factory installed) units and afford protection through the ignition system. OEM immobilizers function through the ECM / PCM (computer) under the hood of the vehicle. In general terms, the RFID tag attached to the key must be read by the ECM in order to allow ignition to occur. Unfortunately, organized crime thieves are able to bypass these systems and steal any vehicle at will. An approved immobilizer uses a 3 circuit isolation system which thwarts even the most experienced thief. </P> | null |

The diviner would then interpret the pattern of cracks and write the prognostication upon the piece as well. By the Zhou dynasty, cinnabar ink and brush had become the preferred writing method, resulting in fewer carved inscriptions and often blank oracle bones being unearthed. </P> | null |

-6522557372700899112 | which emperor established a new capital from which the byzantine empire arose | <P> Several signal events from the 4th to 6th centuries mark the period of transition during which the Roman Empire's Greek East and Latin West divided. Constantine I (r. 324 -- 337) reorganised the empire, made Constantinople the new capital, and legalised Christianity. Under Theodosius I (r. 379 -- 395), Christianity became the Empire's official state religion and other religious practices were proscribed. Finally, under the reign of Heraclius (r. 610 -- 641), the Empire's military and administration were restructured and adopted Greek for official use instead of Latin. Thus, although the Roman state continued and Roman state traditions were maintained, modern historians distinguish Byzantium from ancient Rome insofar as it was centred on Constantinople, oriented towards Greek rather than Latin culture, and characterised by Orthodox Christianity. </P> | Constantine I |

Nonreducing disaccharides like sucrose and trehalose have glycosidic bonds between their anomeric carbons and thus can not convert to an open - chain form with an aldehyde group; they are stuck in the cyclic form. Reducing disaccharides like lactose and maltose have only one of their two anomeric carbons involved in the glycosidic bond, meaning that they can convert to an open - chain form with an aldehyde group. </P> | Nonreducing disaccharides like sucrose and trehalose have glycosidic bonds between their anomeric carbons and thus cannot convert to an open-chain form with an aldehyde group; they are stuck in the cyclic form |

-6737316099840742489 | where is acetylcholine released from to stimulate muscle contraction | <P> When a motor neuron generates an action potential, it travels rapidly along the nerve until it reaches the neuromuscular junction, where it initiates an electrochemical process that causes acetylcholine to be released into the space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle fiber.

A particular blind spot known as the physiological blind spot, ``blind point '', or punctum caecum in medical literature, is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light - detecting photoreceptor cells on the optic disc of the retina where the optic nerve passes through the optic disc. Because there are no cells to detect light on the optic disc, the corresponding part of the field of vision is invisible. Some process in our brains interpolates the blind spot based on surrounding detail and information from the other eye, so we do not normally perceive the blind spot. </P> | on the optic disc of the retina where the optic nerve passes through the optic disc |

Germany was stripped of its war gains and lost territories in the east to Poland and the Soviet Union.

Over 10 million German - speaking refugees arrived in Germany from other countries in Central and Eastern Europe.

-3806587487869546711 | who said where do i go to get my reputation back | <P> In a highly publicized case, Donovan and six other defendants were indicted by a Bronx County, New York, grand jury for larceny and fraud in connection with a project to construct a new line extension for the New York City Subway, through a scheme involving a Genovese crime family associate and a minority - owned subcontractor. Schiavone Construction was required by its contract with the NYCTA to subcontract part of the work to a minority - owned enterprise. The essence of the charge was that the minority owned firm (Jo - Pel Contracting and Trucking Corp) leased equipment from Schiavone and therefore was not truly independent of Schiavone. On May 25, 1987, Donovan (and all of the other defendants) were acquitted, after which Donovan was famously quoted as asking, ``Which office do I go to to get my reputation back? ''Donovan held 50% ownership in Schiavone Construction until its late 2007 sale to Spanish conglomerate, Grupo ACS. He is a part owner of the Fiddler's Elbow Country Club. </P> | null |

In a visit by Hu Jintao to Japan in May 2008, China announced the loan of two pandas to Japan. The President was quoted as saying ``Giant pandas are very popular among the Japanese, and they are a symbol of the friendly ties between Japan and China.

9098355641594194144 | what are the characteristics of the gregorian chant | <P> Gregorian chants were organized initially into four, then eight, and finally 12 modes. Typical melodic features include a characteristic ambitus, and also characteristic intervallic patterns relative to a referential mode final, incipits and cadences, the use of reciting tones at a particular distance from the final, around which the other notes of the melody revolve, and a vocabulary of musical motifs woven together through a process called centonization to create families of related chants. The scale patterns are organized against a background pattern formed of conjunct and disjunct tetrachords, producing a larger pitch system called the gamut. The chants can be sung by using six - note patterns called hexachords. Gregorian melodies are traditionally written using neumes, an early form of musical notation from which the modern four - line and five - line staff developed. Multi-voice elaborations of Gregorian chant, known as organum, were an early stage in the development of Western polyphony. </P> | null |

-6014321345061972725 | game of thrones why are there chains in the library | <P> A chained library is a library where the books are attached to their bookcase by a chain, which is sufficiently long to allow the books to be taken from their shelves and read, but not removed from the library itself. This would prevent theft of the library's materials. However, it also led to crowding and awkwardness when readers had to stand side by side, each holding a book or clumping so they could share one. The practice was usual for reference libraries (that is, the vast majority of libraries) from the Middle Ages to approximately the 18th century. However, since the chaining process was also expensive, it was not used on all books. Only the more valuable books in a collection were chained. This included reference books and large books. </P> | prevent theft of the library's materials |

-8943028646595645860 | when does spiderman meet mary jane in the comics | <P> Early issues of The Amazing Spider - Man featured a running joke about Peter dodging his Aunt May's attempts to set him up with ``that nice Watson girl next door '', whom Peter had not yet met and assumed would not be his type, since his aunt liked her (in the Parallel Lives graphic novel an identical scenario is shown between Mary Jane and her Aunt Anna).
