The cycle per second is a once-common English name for the unit of frequency now known as the hertz (Hz). Cycles per second may be denoted by c.p.s., c/s, or, ambiguously, just "cycles" (Cyc., Cy., C, or c). The term comes from repetitive phenomena such as sound waves having a frequency measurable as a number of oscillations, or cycles, per ...
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPS I) is a ligase enzyme located in the mitochondria involved in the production of urea. Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPS1 or CPSI) transfers an ammonia molecule to a molecule of bicarbonate that has been phosphorylated by a molecule of ATP.
Unlike other cat hammocks, this one has a foldable design which makes it easy to store away. It comes in two different sizes, measuring 21.6" x 14.0" x 8.0" or 23.6" x 15.3" x 8.0", and three ...
Falling Cat – images captured in a chronophotography by Étienne-Jules Marey (shown in the journal Nature, 1894) The cat righting reflex is a cat's innate ability to orient itself as it falls in order to land on its feet.

“The View” co-host Ana Navarro-Cárdenas claimed in a post shared on X that former President Woodrow Wilson pardoned a brother-in-law named “Hunter deButts.” Verdict: False There is no ...
Counts per second (abbreviated to cps) is used for measurements when higher count rates are being encountered, or if hand held radiation survey instruments are being used which can be subject to rapid changes of count rate when the instrument is moved over a source of radiation in a survey area.
Daniel Craig is one of our great shapeshifters, able to segue from a tuxedo’ed James Bond into a lovesick gay adventurer with seemingly very little effort. In Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, adapted ...
