• Metabolism (chemistry) - biology.

  nearly perfect balance. Although much remains to be revealed about metabolic processes, biochemists now agree that regulatory, or rate-limiting, enzymes figure largely in the reactionsinvolved ( see Enzyme). Affecting metabolic pathways at the earliest steps, each enzyme molecule has a specific, or active, site that matches, or “fits,” its particular substrate—the compound with which the enzyme forms a product. The precision with which rate-limiting enzymes and substrates join to set off a parti...

• Encyclopedia of Philosophy: A posteriori ?

  do not appeal to considerations about irrevisability. Some versions appeal, instead, to considerations about thedependence of relevant evidence on sensory experience. 3 Foundationalism about empirical warrant The leading alternative to coherentism is foundationalism about empirical justification: empirical justification has atwo-tier structure in that some instances of such justification are non-inferential, or foundational, and all otherinstances of such justification are inferential,...

• Inuit.

  VII HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, AND CLOTHING Inuit homes are of two kinds: walrus or sealskin tents for summer and huts or houses for winter. Winter houses are usually made of stone, with a driftwood orwhalebone frame, chinked and covered with moss or sod. The entrance is a long, narrow passage just high enough to admit a person crawling on hands and knees.During long journeys some Canadian Inuit build igloos, winter houses of snow blocks piled in a dome shape (the term igloo comes from the I...

• Le nouveau désordre africain

  Le Rwanda et l'Ouganda sont prêts depuis le début de 1995 à intervenir dans l'est du Zaïre pour en "chasser" les réfugiés hutus,fauteurs d'instabilité. Les Etats-Unis ont donné leur feu vert.

  en expansion. L'Univers serait alors un Univers ouvert de taille infinie. Cependant, si la densité de matière est supérieure à une valeur critique, actuellement estimée à5 × 10 -30 g/cm 3, l'attraction gravitationnelle ralentira l’expansion de l’Univers jusqu'à l'arrêter et l'inverser en contraction : l'Univers s'effondrera totalement. Il serait alors « fermé », d'étendue limitée. Le destin de l'Univers effondré est incertain ; selon une théorie, dite de l’Univers oscillant, il exploserait à nou...

  their atoms into laser light. Consequently, they are the most powerful continuous wave (CW) lasers—that is, lasers that emit light continuously rather than in pulses. C Liquid Lasers The most common liquid laser media are inorganic dyes contained in glass vessels. They are pumped by intense flash lamps in a pulse mode or by a separate gas laserin the continuous wave mode. Some dye lasers are tunable, meaning that the color of the laser light they emit can be adjusted with the help of a prism lo...

• Endocrine System.

  thermostat. When the heat in a house falls, the thermostat responds by switching the furnace on, and when the temperature is too warm, the thermostat switches thefurnace off. Usually, the change that a hormone produces also serves to regulate that hormone's secretion. For example, parathyroid hormone causes the body toincrease the level of calcium in the blood. As calcium levels rise, the secretion of parathyroid hormone then decreases. This feedback mechanism allows for tight controlover hormon...

  programs sponsored by zoos or other breeding centers have attempted to breed giant pandas in captivity, although most of these programs have proved unsuccessful.Among the difficulties faced by captive breeders has been the problem of encouraging a female giant panda to mate with a selected male during the two to three daysof the year when she is most fertile, a period known as estrus.

• Hormone.

  women is called a follicle-stimulating hormone. When a follicle-stimulating hormone binds to an ovary cell, it stimulates the enzymes needed for the synthesis ofestradiol, a female sex hormone. Another gonadotropin called luteinizing hormone regulates the production of eggs in women and the production of the male sexhormone testosterone. Produced in the male gonads, or testes, testosterone regulates changes to the male body during puberty, influences sexual behavior, and playsa role in growth. T...
