Answer: Hair

While ingrown hair most commonly appears in areas where the skin is shaved or waxed ( beard, legs, pubic region ), it can appear anywhere. Anything which causes the hair to be broken off unevenly with a sharp tip can cause ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs are also caused because of lack of natural exfoliation in the skin.

Question: What is a phonation in which the vocal folds vibrate, as they do in normal (modal) voicing, but are adjusted to let more air escape which produces a sighing-like sound and is a different type of phonation from aspiration?

Answer: Breathy voice.

Breathy voice / ˈbrɛθi / (also called murmured voice, whispery voice, soughing and susurration) is a phonation in which the vocal folds vibrate, as they do in normal (modal) voicing, but are adjusted to let more air escape which produces a sighing-like sound.

From an articulatory perspective, that terminology is inaccurate, as breathy voice is a different type of phonation from aspiration. However, breathy and aspirated stops are acoustically similar in that in both cases there is a delay in the onset of full voicing.

Question: When the position of an object can be pinned down it is said to be in what type of state that says that all objects have a definite position, momentum, and measured value?

Answer: Eigenstate

Therefore, it became necessary to formulate clearly the difference between the state of something that is uncertain in the way just described, such as an electron in a probability cloud, and the state of something having a definite value. When an object can definitely be "pinned down" in some respect, it is said to possess an eigenstate.

In the everyday world, it is natural and intuitive to think of every object being in its own eigenstate. This is another way of saying that every object appears to have a definite position, a definite momentum, a definite measured value, and a definite time of occurrence. However, the uncertainty principle says that it is impossible to measure the exact value for the momentum of a particle like an electron, given that its position has been determined at a given instant. Likewise, it is impossible to determine the exact location of that particle once its momentum has been measured at a particular instant.


Question: Some islands in the what, which in the language of the area koi means son, lad or prince, are divided into two administrative islands?

The component malā may or may not be derived from māla as in Māla-dīv, but, if so, the name would mean 'prince of the Maldives'.

Answer: Paleo-Siberian

Ainu has been linked to pretty much every other language family in Eurasia, but Austronesian and Altaic are a little more plausible than Indo-Pacific or Kalto. And Ainu isn't usually considered to be a Paleosiberian language anyway - most sources just list four families and isolates.

Four small language families and isolates are usually considered to be Paleo-Siberian languages: The Chukotko-Kamchatkan family, sometimes known as Luoravetlan, includes Chukchi and its close relatives, Koryak, Alutor and Kerek. Itelmen, also known as Kamchadal, is also distantly related.

Question: What describes organised events or venues where clothing is usually optional and  sunbathing areas in public parks (e.g., in Munich and Berlin) that are clothing optional?

Answer: Naturist.

At naturist organised events or venues, clothing is usually optional. At naturist swimming pools or sunbathing places, however, complete nudity is expected (weather permitting). This rule is sometimes a source of controversy among naturists. Staff at a naturist facility are usually required to be clothed due to health and safety regulations.

In some European countries, such as Denmark, all beaches are clothing optional, while in others like Germany (and experimentally in France) there are naturist sunbathing areas in public parks (e.g., in Munich and Berlin). Beaches in some holiday destinations, such as Crete, are also clothing optional, except some central urban beaches.


Question: Why were the Roman Republic's allies in their fight against Hiero II unemployed after 289 BC?

Answer: The Mamertines became unemployed after the death of Agathocles who had hired them as mercenaries.

The Greek colonies of Sicily, especially Syracuse, were soon drawn into prolonged conflicts with the Carthaginians. These conflicts lasted from 600 BC to 265 BC, when the Roman Republic allied with the Mamertines to fend off the new tyrant of Syracuse, Hiero II, and then the Carthaginians.

The Mamertines were mercenaries of Italian origin who had been hired from their home in Campania by Agathocles (361 – 289 BC), Tyrant of Syracuse and self-proclaimed King of Sicily. After Syracuse lost the Seventh Sicilian War, the city of Messana was ceded to Carthage in 307 BC. When Agathocles died in 289 BC he left many of his mercenaries idle and unemployed in Sicily.

Question: What functions are served by the type of proteins that, with the notable exception of the gamma globulins, are all synthesized in liver?

Answer: Blood proteins transport of lipids, hormones, vitamins and minerals, and contribute towards the activity and functioning of the immune system.

The remainder of the plasma proteins (1%) are regulatory proteins, such as enzymes, proenzymes, and hormones. All blood proteins are synthesized in liver except for the gamma globulins. Separating serum proteins by electrophoresis is a valuable diagnostic tool, as well as a way to monitor clinical progress.

Question: What type of effects may the dimethoxyamphetamine drug produce in humans that is shown in 3,4-dimethoxy-beta-hydroxyphenethylamine?

Answer: It could produce hallucinogenic effects.

DME ( 3,4-dimethoxy-beta-hydroxyphenethylamine) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is the beta- hydroxy derivative of 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine. DME was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin.

Note that two other positional isomers of dimethoxyamphetamine, 2,6-DMA and 3,5-DMA, have also been made, but these drugs have not been tested in humans and their effects are unknown. However, it is likely that these compounds would also produce amphetamine-like stimulation or possibly hallucinogenic effects.

Question: Unbounded, unitary and bounded are all types of what?

Answer: Operators

The spectrum of a unitary operator U lies on the unit circle. That is, for any complex number λ in the spectrum, one has |λ| = 1. This can be seen as a consequence of the spectral theorem for normal operators. By the theorem, U is unitarily equivalent to multiplication by a Borel-measurable f on L2(μ), for some finite measure space (X, μ).

A bounded operator T on a Banach space is invertible, i.e. has a bounded inverse, if and only if T is bounded below and has dense range. Accordingly, the spectrum of T can be divided into the following parts: is not bounded below. In particular, this is the case if

The spectrum of an unbounded operator can be divided into three parts in the same way as in the bounded case, but because the operator is not defined everywhere, the definitions of domain, inverse, etc. are more involved. Given a σ-finite measure space ( S, Σ, μ ), consider the Banach space Lp ( μ).

Question: What did infections conducted with SHNV in the freshwater fish belonging to the minnow family of the order Cypriniformes show about the NV gene?

Answer: They showed that the NV gene played no important role in the pathogenesis of infection.

Infection studies with SHNV did not produce disease in exposed healthy snakehead murrels. The first experimental infections conducted with SHRV in zebrafish demonstrated that the NV gene played no important role in the pathogenesis of infection.

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a freshwater fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae) of the order Cypriniformes. Native to South Asia, it is a popular aquarium fish, frequently sold under the trade name zebra danio[2] (and thus often called a "tropical fish" although both tropical and subtropical).The zebrafish is an important and widely used vertebrate model organism in scientific research, for example in drug development, in particular pre-clinical development.
