Question: What present "Jewish script" was eventually used for writing languages such as the Judeo-Arabic languages?

Answer: Square script.

The original, old Hebrew script, known as the paleo-Hebrew alphabet, has been largely preserved in a variant form as the Samaritan alphabet. The present "Jewish script" or "square script", on the contrary, is a stylized form of the Aramaic alphabet and was technically known by Jewish sages as Ashurit (lit.

Question: The provinces that Artaxerxes III was said to have entrusted to Bagoas are populated by which ethnic group?

Answer: Iranians populated the Upper Satrapies provinces.

The Upper Satrapies ( Greek: ἄνω σατραπεῖαι, romanized : anō satrapeiai) is a collective term used in the Hellenistic period to refer to the eastern, Iranian-populated, provinces (" satrapies ") of the empire of Alexander the Great, especially during the Wars of the Diadochi and the subsequent Seleucid Empire.

The evidence for the eastern satrapies is based on a statement by Diodorus of Sicily that Artaxerxes III entrusted the Upper Satrapies to Bagoas, but this may be an anachronism, and no other piece of evidence survives indicating any continuity between the Achaemenid and Hellenistic periods in this regard.


Question: Leonardo and Michelangelo both composed art of which woman?

Answer: Madonna

The Madonna of Bruges is a marble sculpture by Michelangelo of the Virgin and Child . Michelangelo's depiction of the Madonna and Child differs significantly from earlier representations of the same subject, which tended to feature a pious Virgin smiling down on an infant held in her arms.

It is likely that the Benois Madonna was the first work painted by Leonardo independently from his master Verrocchio. There are two of Leonardo's preliminary sketches for this piece in the British Museum, although the painting was probably overpainted by other hands.

Question: The instruments of the charango and the harpsichord both use what kind of parts that are plucked?

Answer: Strings.

Concheras (also has armadillo back) The charango is a small Andean stringed instrument of the lute family, which probably originated in the Quechua and Aymara populations in the territory of the Altiplano in post-Colonial times, after European stringed instruments were introduced by the Spanish during colonialization.

Harpsichords are keyboard instruments that make sound by having the strings plucked with a plectrum. They are thought to have originated when a keyboard was attached to a psaltery. This makes them different from a clavichord where the strings are hit. The piano is therefore closer to a clavichord than a harpsichord.

Question: What fragment of the spine supports and connects the bone structure that provides a protective cavity for the brain?

Answer: The cervical spine supports and connects this bone structure.

Cervical spine disordersare illnesses that affect the cervical spine, which is made up of the upper first seven vertebrae, encasing and shielding the spinal cord. This fragment of the spine starts from the region above the shoulder blades and ends by supporting and connecting the skull.

The skull is a bone structure that forms the head in vertebrates. It supports the structures of the face and provides a protective cavity for the brain.[1] The skull is composed of two parts: the cranium and the mandible. In humans, these two parts are the neurocranium and the viscerocranium (facial skeleton) that includes the mandible as its largest bone. The skull forms the anterior-most portion of the skeleton and is a product of cephalisation—housing the brain, and several sensory structures such as the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.


Question: Do the posterior cricoarytenoid muscles lie next to femoral artery?

Answer: No.

The femoral artery is a large artery in the thigh and the main arterial supply to the thigh and leg. The femoral artery gives off the deep femoral artery or profunda femoris artery and descends along the anteromedial part of the thigh in the femoral triangle.

The posterior cricoarytenoid muscles are the only muscles to open the vocal cords. By rotating the arytenoid cartilages laterally, these muscles abduct the vocal cords and thereby open the rima glottidis.


Question: Who is the circulatory anastomosis named after that the anterior cerebral artery is part of?

Answer: Thomas Willis

The anterior cerebral artery ( ACA) is one of a pair of arteries on the brain that supplies oxygenated blood to most midline portions of the frontal lobes and superior medial parietal lobes. The two anterior cerebral arteries arise from the internal carotid artery and are part of the circle of Willis.

The circle of Willis (also called Willis' circle, loop of Willis, cerebral arterial circle, and Willis polygon) is a circulatory anastomosis that supplies blood to the brain and surrounding structures in reptiles, birds and mammals, including humans.[1] It is named after Thomas Willis (1621–1675), an English physician.[2]


Question: Cockett syndrome can cause a slower venous flow with what two arteries?

Answer: The right common iliac artery and left common iliac vein.

The aortic bifurcation is the point at which the abdominal aorta bifurcates (forks) into the left and right common iliac arteries. The aortic bifurcation is usually seen at the level of L4, just above the junction of the left and right common iliac veins . The right common iliac artery passes in front of the left common iliac vein.

In some individual, mainly women with lumbar lordosis this vein can be compressed between the vertebra and the artery. This is the so-called Cockett syndrome or May–Thurner syndrome[2] can cause a slower venous flow and the possibility of deep venous thrombosis in the left leg mainly in pregnancy.


Question: Once ovulation occurs in a human or animal  the ovary will produce much larger amounts of  what endogenous steroid and progestogen sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species?

Answer: Much larger amounts of progesterone are produced.

Humans, apes, and some other species display the menstrual cycle, whereas most other mammals are subject to an estrous cycle. In both cases, the endometrium initially proliferates under the influence of estrogen. However, once ovulation occurs, the ovary (specifically the corpus luteum) will produce much larger amounts of progesterone.

Progesterone (P4) is an endogenous steroid and progestogen sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species.[1][13] It belongs to a group of steroid hormones called the progestogens[13] and is the major progestogen in the body. Progesterone has a variety of important functions in the body. It is also a crucial metabolic intermediate in the production of other endogenous steroids, including the sex hormones and the corticosteroids, and plays an important role in brain function as a neurosteroid.


Question: Composition, division and etymological are all types of what?

Answer: Fallacies

Occurs when a term in the distributive (referring to every member of a class) and collective (referring to the class itself as a whole) sense are treated as equivalent. The two variants of this fallacy are the fallacy of composition and the fallacy of division . The tendency to overestimate one's degree of influence over other external events.

The etymological fallacy is a genetic fallacy that holds that the present-day meaning of a word or phrase should necessarily be similar to its historical meaning. This is a linguistic misconception, and is sometimes used as a basis for linguistic prescription.


Question: In what field theory, the correlation functions do not depend on the metric of spacetime that groups can be defined concisely as group objects in the category of such spaces?

Answer: topological

In a topological field theory, the correlation functions do not depend on the metric of spacetime. This means that the theory is not sensitive to changes in the shape of spacetime; if spacetime warps or contracts, the correlation functions do not change. Consequently, they are topological invariants.

In the language of category theory, topological groups can be defined concisely as group objects in the category of topological spaces, in the same way that ordinary groups are group objects in the category of sets.
