Carbon monoxide is not toxic to all forms of life, and the toxicity is a classical dose-dependent example of hormesis. Small amounts of carbon monoxide are naturally produced through many enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions across phylogenetic kingdoms where it can serve as an important neurotransmitter (subcategorized as a gasotransmitter ...
This list contains Germanic elements of the English language which have a close corresponding Latinate form. The correspondence is semantic—in most cases these words are not cognates, but in some cases they are doublets, i.e., ultimately derived from the same root, generally Proto-Indo-European, as in cow and beef, both ultimately from PIE *gʷōus.

The B 2 O 3 content for borosilicate glass is typically 12–13% and the SiO 2 content over 80%. High chemical durability and low thermal expansion (3.3 × 10 −6 K −1) – the lowest of all commercial glasses for large-scale technical applications – make this a versatile glass material. High-grade borosilicate flat glasses are used in a ...
Methanesulfonic acid (MsOH, MSA) or methanesulphonic acid (in British English) is an organosulfuric, colorless liquid with the molecular formula CH 3 SO 3 H and structure H 3 C−S(=O) 2 −OH.
The structure of the great horned owl wing also allows it to fly at a very low speed for the size of the species, as slow as 2 miles per hour when they are gliding on breezes. [29] Great horned owl (Canada) The legs, feet, and talons are large and powerful. Tarsal length is 54–80 mm (2.1–3.1 in). [12]
[80] Coriander seeds are the source of an edible pressed oil, Coriander seed oil. Coriander seed oil, from coriander seeds, used in a wide variety of flavoring applications, including gin and seasoning blends. [81] Recent research has shown promise for use in killing food-borne bacteria, such as E. coli. [82] Date seed oil, extracted from date ...
For example, in the Netherlands and some other countries of Europe, knowledge of English as a second language is nearly universal, with over 80 percent of the population able to use it, [91] and thus English is routinely used to communicate with foreigners and often in higher education. In these countries, although English is not used for ...
