following, where the verb agrees with the intransitive subject: Budukh verbs typically agree with a single argument, the absolutive. In the agreement paradigms, the majority of verbs show no overt agreement for the masculine, neuter, and nonhuman plural. Consider the following paradigm for the verb 'keep' in the perfective (Authier 2009): In this paradigm, /ˤa/ is a preverb which must appear with the verb root /q/ 'keep', and the agreement morphology appears between the preverb and the root. Due to historical changes, the relationships between the various members of an agreement paradigm are often more complex and show changes of |

gel used is LMP agarose gel. Too high a voltage may also reduce resolution, as well as causing band streaking for large DNA molecules. Too low a voltage may lead to broadening of band for small DNA fragments due to dispersion and diffusion. Since DNA is not visible in natural light, the progress of the electrophoresis is monitored using colored dyes. Xylene cyanol (light blue color) comigrates large DNA fragments, while Bromophenol blue (dark blue) comigrates with the smaller fragments. Less commonly used dyes include Cresol Red and Orange G which migrate ahead of bromophenol blue. A DNA marker is |

Many of the scouts and Red Cross dogs taking part in the event were real veterans of the war, while the German troops were impersonated by local American Legion men who wore German uniforms furnished by Lingo. The halftime activities soon became more important than the results of the game for the Indians fanbase. The Indians only won 3 games in their two seasons of existence.

Electrophoresis is performed in buffer solutions to reduce pH changes due to the electric field, which is important because the charge of DNA and RNA depends on pH, but running for too long can exhaust the buffering capacity of the solution. Further, different preparations of genetic material may not migrate consistently with each other, for morphological or other reasons.

408 | Allele
Allele An allele () is a variant form of a given gene. Sometimes, different alleles can result in different observable phenotypic traits, such as different pigmentation. A notable example of this trait of color variation is Gregor Mendel's discovery that the white and purple flower colors in pea plants were the result of ""pure line"" traits which could be used as a control for future experiments. However, most genetic variations result in little or no observable variation. Most multicellular organisms have two sets of chromosomes; that is, they are diploid. In this case the chromosomes can be paired, each pair |

412 | Allele
Allelic variation at a locus is measurable as the number of alleles (polymorphism) present, or the proportion of heterozygotes in the population. A null allele is a gene variant that lacks the gene's normal function because it either is not expressed, or the expressed protein is inactive. For example, at the gene locus for the ABO blood type carbohydrate antigens in humans, classical genetics recognizes three alleles, I, I, and i, that determine compatibility of blood transfusions. Any individual has one of six possible genotypes (II, Ii, II, Ii, II, and ii) that produce one of four possible phenotypes: ""Type |

The Doomsday Prophets The Doomsday Prophets (Swedish: ""Domedagsprofeterna"") is an opera by Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, to his own Swedish libretto, composed from 1912–17. It was first performed at the Royal Opera, Stockholm on 21 February 1919. Based on a story which the composer found in the journal ""Den svenska Mercurius"" (1759), the opera features several historical characters (Bure, Skytte, Queen Kristina), and is set in the university city of Uppsala just before the end of the Thirty Years’ War in which Sweden became a major European power.

of alleles in a diploid population can be used to predict the frequencies of the corresponding genotypes (see Hardy-Weinberg principle). For a simple model, with two alleles; where ""p"" is the frequency of one allele and ""q"" is the frequency of the alternative allele, which necessarily sum to unity. Then, ""p"" is the fraction of the population homozygous for the first allele, 2""pq"" is the fraction of heterozygotes, and ""q"" is the fraction homozygous for the alternative allele. If the first allele is dominant to the second then the fraction of the population that will show the dominant phenotype is |

Other disorders, such as Huntington disease, occur when an individual inherits only one dominant allele. While heritable traits are typically studied in terms of genetic alleles, epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation can be inherited at specific genomic regions in certain species, a process termed transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. The term ""epiallele"" is used to distinguish these heritable marks from traditional alleles, which are defined by nucleotide sequence. A specific class of epiallele, the metastable epialleles, has been discovered |

USCHLA The Uschla (""Untersuchung und Schlichtungs-Ausschuss"", roughly translated as the ""Committee for Investigation and Settlement"") was an internal Nazi tribunal system that was established by Adolf Hitler in 1926 to settle intra-party problems and disputes. The Uschla eventually evolved into a four-level system, organized on geographic lines. The highest level, the ""Reichs-Uschla"", presided in Munich, where the NSDAP (the Nazi Party) itself had begun. Immediately below this level was the ""Gau-Uschla"", with one such tribunal for each Gau. Following the general geographic organization of the Gau system, below this Gau-level was the ""Kreis-Uschla"", which in turn linked to the lowest |

Health care providers can minimize spread of resistant infections by use of proper sanitation and hygiene, including handwashing and disinfecting between patients, and should encourage the same of the patient, visitors, and family members. Rising drug resistance is caused mainly by use of antimicrobials in humans and other animals, and spread of resistant strains between the two. Growing resistance has also been linked to dumping of inadequately treated effluents from the pharmaceutical industry, especially in countries where bulk drugs |

Even through the financial distress, the Chambri culture and people survived and continued to practice their ways. In Margaret Mead’s field study research in 1933 in Papua New Guinea, she outlined a position of women in the Chambri community that was unusual to what had been thought to be the norm across cultures. She speculated that women in the Chambri were the power individuals within the villages instead of men. How Margaret came to this conclusion |

Bacteria with resistance to antibiotics predate medical use of antibiotics by humans. However, widespread antibiotic use has made more bacteria resistant through the process of evolutionary pressure. Reasons for the widespread use of antibiotics in human medicine include: Other causes include: Increasing bacterial resistance is linked with the volume of antibiotic prescribed, as well as missing doses when taking antibiotics. Inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics has been attributed to a number of causes, such as patients insisting on antibiotics and physicians |

prescribing them as they do not have time to explain why they are not necessary. Another cause can be physicians not knowing when to prescribe antibiotics or being overly cautious for medical or legal reasons. For example, 70 to 80 percent of diarrhea is caused by viral pathogens, for which antibiotics are not effective. But nevertheless, around 40 percent of these cases are attempted to be treated with antibiotics. In some areas even over 80 percent of such cases are attempted to be treated with antibiotics. Lower antibiotic concentration contributes to the increase of AMR by introducing more mutations that |

This lack of involvement by women in these areas further suggest Mead’s original claim of women’s dominance may have been rooted in a lack of full observance of the activities in the Chambri society. Instead what later anthropologists found was that neither sex competed to be the dominant one. Within each sex dominance occurred and was witnessed, however this behavior failed to cross the sex barrier. Specifically neither group was viewed to follow or be submissive to the other. This lack of a dominant individual within a relationship allows for speculation that the role |

Rouvikonas Rouvikonas (Rubicon, in Greek ""Ρουβίκωνας"") is an activist anarchist collective in Athens, Greece. It was formed in 2013 in the mid of Greek financial crisis and has since carried more than 50 attacks. Most attacks have been of low significance against high profile targets, such as paint throwing, smashing glasses, attacking ATMs and occupying monuments. Police sources are estimating that there are approximately 120-150 members. Mode of action and open membership is in sharp contrast with previous anarchist groups that used indiscriminate violence. Rouvikonas is based in Exarcheia, a district traditionally accommodating anarchists and anti-authoritarians. As Rouvikonas's attacks are |

where he arrived on 10 March 1796, although ""Hasard"" was captured by HMS ""Victorious"" on the journey back. As ""Émilie"" had been armed as a merchant rather than a privateer, the Prize court seized her prizes and sold them for the benefit of the State, although their capture was declared to be legal. Surcouf returned to France to claim his prize money, and on 3 September 1797, the government finally granted him 660,000 francs, of which he only received 80,000. In early 1798, after 14 months in Paris, Surcouf took command of ""Clarisse"", a 14-gun privateer brig armed with four |
456 | "Robert Surcouf"
12-pounders, ten 8-pounders, and manned by a 120-strong complement. He departed from Paimboeuf, Nantes, in February 1798, this time with a proper lettre de marque. During the journey to Isle de France, ""Clarisse"" chased a British slave ship, which escaped after one of her shots cut off ""Clarisse"" 's foremast tops. Surcouf captured a British brig South of Cape of Good Hope, which surrendered at the warning shot, on which he sent a prize crew under Captain Dujardin, and arrived La Réunion on 5 December. In early 1799, Surcouf sailed to the city of Susoh in Aceh, on Sumatra, where |

he found two 20-gun merchantmen anchored in the harbour, in the process of loading pepper; ""Clarisse"" dropped anchor close by and opened fire, after which Surcouf sent his older brother Nicolas to head a 20-man board party on ""Clarisse"" 's boats and board the largest of the ships, while he boarded her with ""Clarisse"" from the opposite side; assaulted from two sides, she surrendered after a 30-minute battle. The other ship cut her anchor and attempted to flee, but the boats of ""Clarisse"" overhauled and captured her without resistance, most of her crew being ashore. Surcouf returned to Île de |

France with his prizes in June. On 16 August, ""Clarisse"" departed Isle de France for another cruise; she sailed to La Réunion carrying despatches of Malartic to the governor. She then cruised to Java to procure water, where she arrived on 27 September. On 1 October, Surcouf captured a Danish merchantman, which he sent away under Lieutenant Fonroc; on 4 November, the Portuguese merchantman ""Nostra Signora de la Conception"" carrying 116 000 piastres; on 6, a British ship laden with a salt cargo; and on 11 November, the 20-gun ""Auspicious"", with a cargo worth 1,032,580 francs. Surcouf sailed to Mergui |
459 | "Robert Surcouf"
to purchase food and free his prisoners, and put to sail on 10 December. En route, he met the fellow French privateer ""Malartic"", under Jean Dutertre; soon after, the privateers met a British frigate, 38-gun frigate HMS ""Sybille"", which gave chase and which Surcouf managed to outsail by throwing eight guns overboard, along with various other implements. On 1 January 1800, ""Clarisse"" captured a large rice-laden merchantman, the British ""James"". On 3 January, she detected two American 16-carronade ships forming a line of battle; although ""Clarisse"" lacked the eight guns sacrificed to escape ""Sybille"" and 60 of her men detached |

""Clarisse"" raked the rear-most ship, the ""Louisa"", and boarded her, while simultaneously firing a broadside on the other ship, ""Mercury"", which attempted to rescue her mate. Nicolas Surcouf led a 30-man boarding party to seize ""Louisa"", while ""Mercury"" escaped. ""Clarisse"" could not give chase, her bowsprit having been destroyed in the collision with ""Louisa"". Nicolas Surcouf took a prize crew and sailed ""Louisa"" back to Port Louis. ""Clarisse"" continued her patrol, capturing the ships ""Catherine"", ""Haderbux"", ""Anna Maria"", ""Nostra Signora de la Cruz"", ""Louis"", ""Janna"", ""Notre Dame de Bon Succès"" and ""Albion"", before sailing |

Collecting the items also allows the pumpkin to access the witch's chambers and cut a lock of her hair, which is required to defeat the witch and complete the game.

Kaabu The Kaabu Empire (1537–1867), also written Gabu, Ngabou, and N’Gabu', was a Mandinka empire of Senegambia centered within modern northeastern Guinea-Bissau, Larger parts of today's Gambia; Kingdom of Saloum, extending into Koussanar, Koumpentoum regions of South Eastern Senegal, and Casamance in Senegal. It rose to prominence in the region thanks to its origins as a former imperial military province of the Mali Empire. After the decline of the Mali Empire, Kaabu became an independent Empire. Kansala, the imperial capital of Kaabu Empire was annexed by Futa Jallon during the 19th century Fula jihads. However, Kaabu's vast independent Kingdoms across |
476 | Kaabu
SeneGambia regions continued to thrive even after the fall of Kansala; until total incorporation of the remaining Kingdoms into the British Gambia, Portuguese and French spheres of influence during the Scramble for Africa. The Mandinka arrived in Guinea-Bissau around the year 1200. One of the generals of Sundiata Keita, Tirmakhan Traore, conquered the area making Kaabu one of Mali's western ""tinkuru"", or provinces in the 1230s. By the beginning of the 14th century, much of Guinea-Bissau was under the control of the Mali Empire and ruled by a Farim Kaabu (Commander of Kaabu) loyal to the Mansa of Mali. As |

the Mandinka heartland. Succession disputes between heirs to Mali's throne also weakened its ability to hold even its historically secure possessions in Senegal, the Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau. Free of imperial oversight, these lands splintered off to form independent kingdoms. The most successful and longest lasting of these was Kaabu, which became independent in 1537. Kaabu's governor, Sami Koli, became the first ruler of an independent Kaabu. He was the grandson of Tiramakhan Traore. Kaabu carried on the legacy of the Mali Empire much in the same way the Byzantine Empire preserved the culture and social structure of the Roman Empire. |
479 | Kaabu
The rulers of the Kaabu Kingdom believed their right to rule came from their history as an imperial province. The kings of independent Kaabu discarded the title of Farim Kaabu for Kaabu Mansaba. Among the vast provinces of the Kabu empire included but not limited to Firdu, Pata, Kamako, Jimara, Patim Kibo, Patim Kanjaye, Kantora, Sedhiou, Pakane Mambura, Kiang, Kudura, Nampaio, Saloum, Koumpentoum, Koussanar, Barra, Niumi, Pacana etc etc Kaabu, despite its ties to Mali, appears to have run in a quite different matter. Mali was established as a federation of chiefs, and the government operated with an assembly of |
480 | Kaabu
nobles to which the Mansa was largely responsible. Kaabu, however, was established as a military outpost. So it is of little surprise that the kingdom's government was militaristic. The ruling class was composed of warrior-elites made rich by slaves captured in war. These ruling nobles were known from two distinctive sets of clans Koring and Nyancho (Ñaanco). The Korings are (Sanyang and Sonko) whilst the Nyanchos are made up of (Manneh and Sanneh). The militaristic composition of Imperial Kaabu Empire was made up of Korings led by Sanyang Household of Nyambai, with natural allegiance and cousinly support of Sonko Household |
481 | Kaabu
of Berekolong. The composition of the Koring Military Council's are (Sanyang, Sonko, Manjang, Konjira and Jassey), collective constituting and or aggregating the Koring composition of the Kaabu Empire to a 5 Foothold; and the Nyancho (Sanneh and Manneh) to 2 footholds respectively. Collectively, Korings and Nyanchos held the power in the state. Mandinka oral tradition holds that Kaabu was the actual birthplace of the Mande musical instrument, known as the Kora. A kora is built from a large calabash cut in half and covered with cow skin to make a resonator, and has a notched bridge like a lute or |
482 | Kaabu
guitar. The sound of a Kora resembles that of a harp, yet with its gourd resonator it has been classified by ethnomusicologists such as Roderick Knight as a harp-lute. The Kora was traditionally used by the griots as a tool for preserving history, ancient tradition, to memorize the genealogies of patron families and sing their praises, to act as conflict intermediaries between families, and to entertain. Its origins can be traced to the time of the Mali empire and linked with Jali Mady Fouling Diabate, son of Bamba Diabate. According to the griots, Mady visited a local lake in which |

Plekzationz Plekzationz is a studio album by Nick Edwards, released on the label Editions Mego. Like past Edwards' releases, the ambient industrial drone and dub record was recorded by feeling spiritual, meaning he ""drift[ed] off"" ""concentrating on the moment"" during recording but never remembered how the recording went once it ended. However, the making of three of the four tracks on the record was different from the development of his past works, in that fine-tuning of small details of a recording took place afterwards. Reviews of the album were very favorable. ""Plekzations"" was recorded only with very primitive technology such |
486 | Plekzationz
as a cassette tape four-track recorder. As with Nick Edwards' previous works, the recording of ""Plekzationz"" was spiritual, which he ""drift[ed] off"" ""concentrating on the moment"" during recording but never remembered how a recording was produced once it was finished, feeling as if someone other than Edwards recorded. ""Plekzationz"" is an ambient industrial drone and dub album consisting of four ""parts."" Angus Finlayson of ""Resident Advisor"" noted the album to have the same experimentation technique as the works of BBC Radiophonic Workshop and an avant-garde aspect similar to that of dub reggae. As ""Tiny Mix Tapes"" writer Birkut described it, |
487 | Plekzationz
the structure of all of the tracks, despite sounding ""intrepid"" and ""ravenous,"" involve sounds or parts that are allowed to develop on their own without other sounds disrupting their process, which is ""embracing the subconscious that inevitably pulls from various musical styles."" Birkut also described the effects that are placed on the sounds as ""intoxicating"" and ""oneiric."" As Finlayson described the soundscapes on the record, ""Delays shriek across the stereo field, overloading circuits in dense clouds of distortion; synth gestures loom out of the murk with a B-movie sense of melodrama; hypnotic sequences burble menacingly in the background."" The making |
488 | Plekzationz
of ""Plekzationz""<nowiki>'</nowiki> first three of its four tracks, ""Chance Meets Causality Uptown,"" ""(No) Escape From '79"" and ""Inside The Analog Continuum,"" was more intricate than his past releases in that, instead of just converting a whole raw analog recording into a digital stereo track, Edwards also digitally fine-tuned small the parts of what he had recorded. Edwards compared the album's third part, ""Inside The Analog Continuum,"" to the works of dubstep artist Loefah, an artist whose works were heavily focused on the basslines and drums echo-filtered noises in the background. He described the song as a much more noise-present and |
489 | Plekzationz
less bass-heavy version of Loefah's material. The album's closer, ""A Pedant's Progress,"" is its only unedited track, serving as a ""antidote"" for the digitally-altered previous three tracks. The recording involved a synthesizer that was fed through two effects channels. ""Plekzationz""<nowiki>'</nowiki> front cover art, which is a painted portrait of Edwards, was illustrated by Bristol artist Hollis. Hollis first took a photograph of Edwards in a bathroom at the Cube Microplex. He then spent five days doing a painting of the photograph on a canvas before decorating the painting with Photoshop and Corel Painter. The back cover is a painting of |
490 | Plekzationz
the Bristol Docks also by Hollis; he photographed it first, then design it also with Phiotoshop and Corel Painter. As Edwards recalling about the making of the artwork: In writing a review for ""Freq"", Loki wrote, ""I’ve played [""Plekzationz""] four times in three days and for a twitch, attention-spazzed, inarticulate dreamer like me, that’s high praise indeed."" An ""Igloo"" magazine critic called the album ""a rare sonic intensity and a highly welcomed effort in the universe of post-modern electronic art,"" praising its ""completely unique"" and ""impressive"" sound design and ""challenging"" compositions. Timothy Gabriele of ""Popmatters"" called ""Plekzationz"" one of Edwards' |
491 | Plekzationz
greatest works, his major praise being the amount of detail brought into the making of each track: ""Edwards has absorbed many of his best ideas, laid them flat into a broader more collage-based canvas, and transcended the anxiety of influence that the song titles allude to by making his best qualities sublimate when playing in tandem."" Birkut reviewed ""Plekzationz"" under the column ""Eureka!"" which consisted of reviews for releases ""so incredible we just can’t help but exclaim EUREKA!"" He described Edwards' use of influences of ""Plekzationz"" as ""highly unique and [...] clearly emerged from an artist with incredible focus and |
