Contrary to [popular belief], [Genghis Khan] did not conquer all the areas ultimately part of the [Mongol Empire]. At the time of his [death], the Mongol Empire stretched from the [Caspian Sea] to the [Sea of Japan]. The empire's [expansion] continued for a [generation] or more after Genghis's death in 1227. Under Genghis's successor [Ögedei Khan] the [speed] of expansion reached its [peak]. [Mongol armies] pushed into [Persia], finished off the [Western Xia] and the remnants of the [Khwarezmids], and came into [conflict] with the [imperial Song dynasty] of [China], starting a [war] that lasted until 1279 and that concluded with the Mongols gaining [control] of all of [China]. They also pushed [further] into [Russia] and eastern [Europe].

Although [lacking] [historical connections] to the [Middle East], [Japan] was the [country] [most dependent] on [Arab oil]. 71% of its [imported oil] came from the [Middle East] in 1970. On [November 7, 1973], the [Saudi] and [Kuwaiti governments] declared [Japan] a "nonfriendly" [country] to [encourage] it to [change] its [noninvolvement policy]. It received a [5% production cut] in [December], causing a [panic]. On [November 22], [Japan] issued a [statement] "asserting that [Israel] should [withdraw] from all of the [1967 territories], [advocating] [Palestinian self-determination], and [threatening] to [reconsider] its [policy] toward [Israel] if [Israel] refused to [accept] these [preconditions]". By [December 25], [Japan] was considered an [Arab-friendly state].

The [Dalek race], which first appeared in the show's [second serial] in [1963], are [Doctor Who's oldest villains]. The Daleks are [Kaleds] from the planet [Skaro], [mutated] by the scientist [Davros] and housed in [mechanical armour shells] for [mobility]. The actual creatures resemble [octopi] with [large], [pronounced brains]. Their armour shells have a [single eye-stalk], a [sink-plunger-like device] that serves the purpose of a [hand], and a [directed-energy weapon]. Their [main weakness] is their [eyestalk]; [attacks] upon them using [various weapons] can [blind] a Dalek, making it go [mad]. Their [chief role] in the [series plot], as they frequently remark in their instantly recognisable [metallic voices], is to ["exterminate"] all [non-Dalek beings]. They even attack the [Time Lords] in the [Time War], as shown during the [50th Anniversary] of the show. They continue to be a [recurring 'monster'] within the [Doctor Who franchise], their most recent appearances being in the [2015 episodes] "The Witch's Familiar" and "Hell Bent". [Davros] has also been a [recurring figure] since his debut in [Genesis of the Daleks], although played by several different actors.

Victoria (abbreviated as Vic) is a state in the south-east of Australia. [Victoria] is [Australia's most densely populated state] and its [second-most populous state overall]. Most of its population is concentrated in the [area surrounding Port Phillip Bay], which includes the [metropolitan area] of its [capital] and [largest city], [Melbourne], which is [Australia's second-largest city]. [Geographically] the [smallest state] on the [Australian mainland], [Victoria] is [bordered by Bass Strait] and [Tasmania] to the south,[note 1] [New South Wales] to the north, the [Tasman Sea] to the east, and [South Australia] to the west.

[Tesla]'s theories on the possibility of the [transmission] by [radio waves] go back as far as [lectures] and [demonstrations] in [1893] in [St. Louis], [Missouri], the [Franklin Institute] in [Philadelphia], [Pennsylvania], and the [National Electric Light Association]. [Tesla]'s [demonstrations] and [principles] were written about [widely] through [various] [media outlets]. Many [devices] such as the [Tesla Coil] were used in the further [development] of [radio].

The [USSR]'s invasion of [Afghanistan] was only one sign of [insecurity] in the region, also marked by increased [American weapons sales], [technology], and outright [military presence]. [Saudi Arabia] and [Iran] became increasingly dependent on [American security assurances] to manage both [external] and [internal threats], including increased military competition between them over [increased oil revenues]. Both states were competing for [preeminence] in the [Persian Gulf] and using increased revenues to fund [expanded militaries]. By [1979], Saudi arms purchases from the US exceeded [five times] Israel's. Another motive for the [large scale purchase of arms] from the US by Saudi Arabia was the failure of the [Shah] during January 1979 to maintain control of Iran, a [non-Arabic] but largely [Shiite Muslim] nation, which fell to a [theocratic Islamist government] under the [Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini] in the wake of the [1979 Iranian Revolution]. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, is an [Arab], largely [Sunni Muslim] nation headed by a [near absolutist monarchy]. In the wake of the Iranian revolution the Saudis were forced to deal with the prospect of [internal destabilization] via the [radicalism] of [Islamism], a reality which would quickly be revealed in the seizure of the [Grand Mosque] in [Mecca] by [Wahhabi extremists] during November 1979 and a [Shiite revolt] in the [oil rich Al-Hasa region] of Saudi Arabia in December of the same year. In November 2010, [Wikileaks] leaked confidential diplomatic cables pertaining to the [United States] and its allies which revealed that the late [Saudi King Abdullah] urged the [United States] to attack [Iran] in order to destroy its potential [nuclear weapons program], describing Iran as "a snake whose head should be cut off without any procrastination."

Other green spaces in the city include the [Botanic Garden] and the [University Library garden]. They have extensive [botanical collection] of [rare domestic and foreign plants], while a [palm house] in the [New Orangery] displays plants of [subtropics] from all over the world. Besides, within the city borders, there are also: [Pole Mokotowskie] (a big park in the northern [Mokotów], where was the first [horse racetrack] and then the [airport]), [Park Ujazdowski] (close to the [Sejm] and [John Lennon street]), [Park of Culture and Rest] in [Powsin], by the southern city border, [Park Skaryszewski] by the right [Vistula bank], in [Praga]. The oldest park in [Praga], the [Praga Park], was established in [1865–1871] and designed by [Jan Dobrowolski]. In [1927] a [zoological garden] ([Ogród Zoologiczny]) was established on the park grounds, and in [1952] a [bear run], still open today.

In the 19th century, [shipbuilding] and [heavy engineering] were central to the city's [prosperity]; and the city was a powerhouse of the [Industrial Revolution]. This revolution resulted in the [urbanization] of the city. In 1817 the [Maling company], at one time the largest [pottery company] in the world, moved to the city. The [Victorian industrial revolution] brought [industrial structures] that included the 2 1⁄2-mile (4.0 km) [Victoria Tunnelling], built in 1842, which provided [underground wagon ways] to the [staithes]. On 3 February 1879, [Mosley Street] in the city, was the [first public road] in the world to be lit up by the [incandescent lightbulb]. [Newcastle] was one of the [first cities] in the world to be lit up by [electric lighting]. Innovations in [Newcastle] and [surrounding areas] included the development of [safety lamps], [Stephenson's Rocket], [Lord Armstrong's artillery], [Be-Ro flour], [Joseph Swan's electric light bulbs], and [Charles Parsons' invention] of the [steam turbine], which led to the [revolution of marine propulsion] and the production of [cheap electricity]. In 1882, [Newcastle] became the [seat of an Anglican diocese], with [St. Nicholas' Church] becoming its [cathedral].

At the outbreak of [World War I] in [August 1914], the governors of [British East Africa] (as the [Protectorate] was generally known) and [German East Africa] agreed a [truce] in an attempt to keep the young colonies out of [direct hostilities]. [Lt Col Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck] took command of the [German military forces], determined to tie down as many [British resources] as possible. Completely cut off from [Germany], von Lettow conducted an effective [guerrilla warfare] campaign, [living off the land], [capturing British supplies], and [remaining undefeated]. He eventually [surrendered] in [Northern Rhodesia] (today [Zambia]) [fourteen days] after the [Armistice] was signed in [1918].

[Luther] had been suffering from [ill health] for years, including [Ménière's disease], [vertigo], [fainting], [tinnitus], and a [cataract] in one eye. From [1531] to [1546], his health deteriorated further. The years of [struggle with Rome], the [antagonisms] with and among his [fellow reformers], and the [scandal] which ensued from the [bigamy] of the [Philip of Hesse incident], in which [Luther] had played a [leading role], all may have contributed. In [1536], he began to suffer from [kidney] and [bladder stones], and [arthritis], and an [ear infection] ruptured an [ear drum]. In [December 1544], he began to feel the effects of [angina].

The [first] fortified settlements on the site of [today's Warsaw] were located in [Bródno] ([9th/10th century]) and [Jazdów] ([12th/13th century]). After [Jazdów] was raided by [nearby clans] and [dukes], a [new similar settlement] was established on the site of a [small fishing village] called [Warszowa]. The [Prince of Płock], [Bolesław II of Masovia], established this settlement, the [modern-day Warsaw], in about [1300]. In the [beginning] of the [14th century] it became one of the seats of the [Dukes of Masovia], becoming the [official capital] of [Masovian Duchy] in [1413]. [14th-century Warsaw]'s [economy] rested on mostly [crafts] and [trade]. Upon the [extinction] of the [local ducal line], the [duchy] was reincorporated into the [Polish Crown] in [1526].

After World War II, under a Communist regime set up by the conquering Soviets, the "Bricks for Warsaw" campaign was initiated, and large prefabricated housing projects were erected in Warsaw to address the housing shortage, along with other typical buildings of an Eastern Bloc city, such as the Palace of Culture and Science, a gift from the Soviet Union. [The city resumed its role as the capital of Poland and the country's centre of political and economic life]. [Many of the historic streets, buildings, and churches] were restored to their original form. [In 1980], Warsaw's historic Old Town was inscribed onto UNESCO's World Heritage list.

Unlike [animals], [plants] lack [phagocytic cells], but many [plant immune responses] involve [systemic chemical signals] that are sent through a plant. [Individual plant cells] respond to [molecules] associated with [pathogens] known as [Pathogen-associated molecular patterns] or [PAMPs]. When a part of a plant becomes [infected], the plant produces a [localized hypersensitive response], whereby cells at the [site of infection] undergo [rapid apoptosis] to prevent the spread of the disease to [other parts of the plant]. [Systemic acquired resistance] ([SAR]) is a type of [defensive response] used by plants that renders the [entire plant] resistant to a particular [infectious agent]. [RNA silencing mechanisms] are particularly important in this [systemic response] as they can [block virus replication].

In the spring of 1753, [Paul Marin de la Malgue] was given [command] of a [2,000-man force] of [Troupes de la Marine] and [Indians]. His [orders] were to [protect] the [King's land] in the [Ohio Valley] from the [British]. Marin followed the [route] that [Céloron] had [mapped out] [four years earlier], but where Céloron had limited the [record] of [French claims] to the [burial] of [lead plates], Marin [constructed] and [garrisoned forts]. He first [constructed] [Fort Presque Isle] (near present-day [Erie, Pennsylvania]) on [Lake Erie]'s [south shore]. He had a [road built] to the [headwaters] of [LeBoeuf Creek]. Marin constructed a [second fort] at [Fort Le Boeuf] (present-day [Waterford, Pennsylvania]), [designed] to [guard] the [headwaters] of [LeBoeuf Creek]. As he moved south, he [drove off] or [captured] [British traders], [alarming] both the [British] and the [Iroquois]. [Tanaghrisson], a [chief] of the [Mingo], who were [remnants] of [Iroquois] and other [tribes] who had been [driven west] by [colonial expansion]. He [intensely disliked] the [French] (whom he [accused] of [killing] and [eating] his [father]). [Traveling] to [Fort Le Boeuf], he [threatened] the [French] with [military action], which Marin [contemptuously dismissed].

To fix [carbon dioxide] into [sugar molecules] in the process of [photosynthesis], [chloroplasts] use an [enzyme] called [rubisco]. Rubisco has a problem—it has [trouble] distinguishing between [carbon dioxide] and [oxygen], so at [high oxygen concentrations], rubisco starts [accidentally] adding [oxygen] to [sugar precursors]. This has the [end result] of [ATP energy] being wasted and [CO2] being released, all with [no sugar] being produced. This is a [big problem], since [O2] is produced by the [initial light reactions] of [photosynthesis], causing [issues] down the [line] in the [Calvin cycle] which uses [rubisco].

Warsaw's name in the Polish language is [Warszawa], approximately /vɑːrˈʃɑːvə/ (also formerly spelled [Warszewa] and [Warszowa]), meaning "belonging to [Warsz]", [Warsz] being a shortened form of the masculine name of Slavic origin [Warcisław]; see also etymology of [Wrocław]. [Folk etymology] attributes the city name to a fisherman, [Wars], and his wife, [Sawa]. According to [legend], [Sawa] was a [mermaid] living in the [Vistula River] with whom [Wars] fell in love. In actuality, [Warsz] was a 12th/13th-century [nobleman] who owned a [village] located at the modern-day site of [Mariensztat neighbourhood]. See also the [Vršovci family] which had escaped to Poland. The [official city name] in full is [miasto stołeczne Warszawa] (English: "The Capital City of Warsaw"). A native or resident of Warsaw is known as a [Varsovian] – in Polish [warszawiak] (male), [warszawianka] (female), [warszawiacy] (plural).

[Newton] came to realize that the effects of [gravity] might be observed in different ways at larger distances. In particular, [Newton] determined that the [acceleration] of the [Moon] around the [Earth] could be ascribed to the same force of [gravity] if the [acceleration] due to [gravity] decreased as an [inverse square law]. Further, [Newton] realized that the [acceleration] due to [gravity] is proportional to the [mass] of the attracting body.

Following a lengthy legal battle with the European Commission, [exclusivity of the rights] to be against the interests of [competition] and [the consumer], [BSkyB]'s [monopoly] came to an end from the [2007–08 season]. In May 2006, the [Irish broadcaster Setanta Sports] was awarded [two] of the [six Premier League packages] that the [English FA] offered to broadcasters. [Sky] picked up the [remaining four] for £1.3bn. In February 2015, [Sky bid £4.2bn] for a package of [120 premier league games] across the [three seasons] from [2016]. This represented an [increase of 70%] on the [previous contract] and was said to be [£1bn more] than the company had expected to pay.

It also became clear that [Apollo] would outgrow the [Canaveral launch facilities] in [Florida]. The two newest [launch complexes] were already being built for the [Saturn I] and [IB rockets] at the northernmost end: [LC-34] and [LC-37]. But an even bigger facility would be needed for the [mammoth rocket] required for the [manned lunar mission], so [land acquisition] was started in [July 1961] for a [Launch Operations Center (LOC)] immediately north of [Canaveral] at [Merritt Island]. The [design], [development] and [construction] of the center was conducted by [Kurt H. Debus], a member of Dr. [Wernher von Braun]'s original [V-2 rocket engineering team]. [Debus] was named the LOC's first [Director]. [Construction] began in [November 1962]. Upon [Kennedy]'s death, [President Johnson] issued an [executive order] on [November 29, 1963], to rename the [LOC] and [Cape Canaveral] in honor of [Kennedy].

The [Panthers] seemed primed to score on their [opening drive] of the [second half] when [Newton] completed a [45-yard pass] to [Ted Ginn Jr.] on the [Denver 35-yard line] on their [second offensive play]. But the [Broncos defense] halted the drive on the [26-yard line], and it ended with [no points] when [Graham Gano] hit the [uprights] on a [44-yard field goal attempt]. After the miss, [Manning] completed a [pair of passes] to [Emmanuel Sanders] for gains of [25 and 22 yards], setting up [McManus]' [33-yard field goal] that gave the [Broncos] a [16–7 lead]. [Carolina] got off to another [strong start] after the [kickoff], with [Newton] completing a [42-yard pass] to [Corey Brown]. But once again they came up [empty], this time as a result of a [Newton pass] that bounced off the [hands] of [Ginn] and was [intercepted] by [safety T. J. Ward]. [Ward] [fumbled] the ball during the [return], but [Trevathan] [recovered] it to enable [Denver] to keep [possession].

The next major step occurred when [James Watt] developed (1763–1775) an improved version of [Newcomen's engine], with a separate [condenser]. [Boulton] and [Watt]'s early engines used [half] as much [coal] as [John Smeaton]'s improved version of [Newcomen's]. [Newcomen]'s and [Watt]'s early engines were ["atmospheric"]. They were powered by [air pressure] pushing a [piston] into the [partial vacuum] generated by [condensing steam], instead of the pressure of [expanding steam]. The engine [cylinders] had to be [large] because the only usable force acting on them was due to [atmospheric pressure].

In addition to the negative consequences of [sleep deprivation], sleep and the intertwined [circadian system] have been shown to have strong regulatory effects on [immunological functions] affecting both the [innate] and the [adaptive immunity]. First, during the early [slow-wave-sleep stage], a sudden drop in blood levels of [cortisol], [epinephrine], and [norepinephrine] induce increased blood levels of the hormones [leptin], [pituitary growth hormone], and [prolactin]. These signals induce a [pro-inflammatory state] through the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines [interleukin-1], [interleukin-12], [TNF-alpha] and [IFN-gamma]. These cytokines then stimulate immune functions such as [immune cells activation], [proliferation], and [differentiation]. It is during this time that [undifferentiated], or [less differentiated], like [naïve] and [central memory T cells], [peak] (i.e. during a time of a slowly evolving adaptive immune response). In addition to these effects, the [milieu] of hormones produced at this time (leptin, pituitary growth hormone, and prolactin) support the interactions between [APCs] and [T-cells], a [shift] of the [Th1/Th2 cytokine balance] towards one that supports [Th1], an increase in overall [Th cell proliferation], and [naïve T cell migration] to [lymph nodes]. This milieu is also thought to support the formation of [long-lasting immune memory] through the initiation of [Th1 immune responses].

In [1755], [six colonial governors] in [North America] met with [General Edward Braddock], the newly arrived [British Army commander], and planned a [four-way attack] on the [French]. None [succeeded] and the [main effort] by [Braddock] was a [disaster]; he was [defeated] in the [Battle of the Monongahela] on [July 9, 1755] and [died] a [few days later].

Individual [Huguenots] settled at the [Cape of Good Hope] from as early as [1671] with the arrival of [François Villion] ([Viljoen]). The first Huguenot to arrive at the Cape of Good Hope was however [Maria de la Queillerie], wife of commander [Jan van Riebeeck] (and daughter of a [Walloon church minister]), who arrived on [6 April 1652] to establish a settlement at what is today [Cape Town]. The couple left for the [Far East] ten years later. On [31 December 1687] the first [organised group] of Huguenots set sail from the [Netherlands] to the [Dutch East India Company post] at the [Cape of Good Hope].

Through [stream capture], the [Rhine] extended its [watershed] southward. By the [Pliocene period], the Rhine had captured streams down to the [Vosges Mountains], including the [Mosel], the [Main] and the [Neckar]. The [northern Alps] were then drained by the [Rhone]. By the [early Pleistocene period], the Rhine had captured most of its current [Alpine watershed] from the Rhône, including the [Aar]. Since that time, the Rhine has added the watershed above [Lake Constance] ([Vorderrhein], [Hinterrhein], [Alpenrhein]; captured from the Rhône), the upper reaches of the Main, beyond [Schweinfurt] and the Vosges Mountains, captured from the [Meuse], to its watershed.

After the 1940s, the Gothic style on campus began to give way to modern styles. [In 1955], [Eero Saarinen] was contracted to develop a second master plan, which led to the construction of [buildings] both [north and south] of the [Midway], including the [Laird Bell Law Quadrangle] (a complex designed by [Saarinen]); a series of [arts buildings]; a building designed by [Ludwig Mies van der Rohe] for the university's [School of Social Service Administration];, a building which is to become the home of the [Harris School of Public Policy Studies] by [Edward Durrell Stone], and the [Regenstein Library], the largest building on campus, a [brutalist structure] designed by [Walter Netsch] of the Chicago firm [Skidmore, Owings & Merrill]. Another master plan, designed in [1999] and updated in [2004], produced the [Gerald Ratner Athletics Center] (2003), the [Max Palevsky Residential Commons] (2001), [South Campus Residence Hall] and [dining commons] (2009), a new [children's hospital], and [other construction], [expansions], and [restorations]. In [2011], the university completed the [glass dome-shaped] [Joe and Rika Mansueto Library], which provides a [grand reading room] for the university library and prevents the need for an [off-campus book depository].

To recognize the [differences] of companies in this [sector], it is divided into three [subsectors]: [building construction], [heavy and civil engineering construction], and [specialty trade contractors]. There are also [categories] for [construction service firms] (e.g., [engineering], [architecture]) and [construction managers] (firms engaged in [managing construction projects] without assuming [direct financial responsibility] for [completion] of the [construction project]).

In [1965], at the instigation of [Warner Sinback], a data network based on this [voice-phone network] was designed to connect [GE's four computer sales and service centers] ([Schenectady], [Phoenix], [Chicago], and [Phoenix]) to facilitate a [computer time-sharing service], apparently the [world's first commercial online service]. (In addition to selling GE computers, the centers were [computer service bureaus], offering [batch processing services]. They lost money from the beginning, and [Sinback], a [high-level marketing manager], was given the job of turning the business around. He decided that a [time-sharing system], based on [Kemney's work at Dartmouth]—which used a [computer] on loan from GE—could be profitable. [Warner] was right.)

[Upper bounds] and [lower bounds] are usually stated using the [big O notation], which hides [constant factors] and [smaller terms]. This makes the bounds [independent] of the [specific details] of the [computational model] used. For instance, if T(n) = 7n2 + 15n + 40, in [big O notation] one would write T(n) = O(n2).

These kinds of programs presented ABC with an image of the "philosophy of counterprogramming against its competitors", offering a strong lineup of programs that contrasted with those seen on its rival networks, which helped Goldenson give the network a continuum between film and television. [ABC's western series] (as well as [series such as the actioner Zorro]) went up against and defeated the [variety shows] aired by [NBC] and [CBS] in the fall of [1957], and its [detective shows] did the same in the fall of [1959]. To captivate the network's audiences, [short 66-minute series] were scheduled a [half-hour] before their [hour-long competition]. In [May 1961], [Life] criticized the [public enthusiasm] and [sponsorship] for these types of shows at the [expense] of [news programming] and denounced an [unofficial law] "replacing the [good programs] with the [bad ones]".
