Passage: The Mosaic covenant (named after Moses), also known as the Sinaitic Covenant (named after the biblical Mount Sinai), refers to a biblical covenant between God and the biblical Israelites, including their proselytes. The establishment and stipulations of the Mosaic covenant are recorded in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, which are traditionally attributed to Moses and collectively called the Torah, and this covenant is sometimes also referred to as the Law of Moses or Mosaic Law or the 613 Mitzvot.
Title: Deuteronomic Code
Passage: The Deuteronomic Code is the name given by academics to the law code set out in chapters 12 to 26 of the Book of Deuteronomy in the Hebrew Bible. The code outlines a special relationship between the people of Israel and their God and provides instructions covering "a variety of topics including religious ceremonies and ritual purity, civil and criminal law, and the conduct of war". They are similar to other collections of laws found in the Torah (the first five books of the Tanakh) such as the Covenant Code at Exodus 20-23, except for the portion discussing the Ethical Decalogue, which is usually treated separately. This separate treatment stems not from any concern over authorship, but merely because the Ethical Decalogue is treated academically as a subject in its own right.
Title: Law of Moses
Passage: The Law of Moses, also called the Mosaic Law or in Hebrew: , "Torat Moshe", refers primarily to the Torah or first five books of the Hebrew Bible. Traditionally believed to have been written by Moses, most academics now believe they had many authors.

Title: Heavy fermion material
Passage: In solid-state physics, heavy fermion materials are a specific type of intermetallic compound, containing elements with 4f or 5f electrons in unfilled electron bands. Electrons are one type of fermion, and when they are found in such materials, they are sometimes referred to as heavy electrons. Heavy fermion materials have a low-temperature specific heat whose linear term is up to 1000 times larger than the value expected from the free-electron theory. The properties of the heavy fermion compounds often derive from the partly filled f-orbitals of rare-earth or actinide ions, which behave like localized magnetic moments. The name "heavy fermion" comes from the fact that the fermion behaves as if it has an effective mass greater than its rest mass. In the case of electrons, below a characteristic temperature (typically 10 K), the conduction electrons in these metallic compounds behave as if they had an effective mass up to 1000 times the free-electron mass. This large effective mass is also reflected in a large contribution to the resistivity from electron-electron scattering via the Kadowaki Woods ratio. Heavy fermion behavior has been found in a broad variety of states including metallic, superconducting, insulating and magnetic states. Characteristic examples are CeCu, CeAl, CeCuSi, YbAl, UBe and UPt.

Title: Bisporella citrina
Passage: Bisporella citrina, commonly known as yellow fairy cups or lemon discos, is a species of fungus in the family Helotiaceae. The fungus produces tiny yellow cups up to 3 mm in diameter, often without stalks, that fruit in groups or dense clusters on decaying deciduous wood that has lost its bark. The widely distributed species is found in North Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and Central and South America. Found in late summer and autumn, the fungus is fairly common, but is easily overlooked owing to its small size. There are several similar species that can in most cases be distinguished by differences in color, morphology, or substrate. Microscopically, "B. citrina" can be distinguished from these lookalikes by its elliptical spores, which have a central partition, and an oil drop at each end.

Angiotensin, a peptide hormone, stimulates the release of the main mineralocorticoid hormone from what part of the adrenal gland?
|
Title: Adrenal medulla
Passage: The adrenal medulla (Latin: "medulla glandulae suprarenalis" ) is part of the adrenal gland. It is located at the center of the gland, being surrounded by the adrenal cortex. It is the innermost part of the adrenal gland, consisting of cells that secrete epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and a small amount of dopamine in response to stimulation by sympathetic preganglionic neurons.
Title: Aldosterone
Passage: Aldosterone, the main mineralocorticoid hormone, is a steroid hormone produced by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland. It is essential for sodium conservation in the kidney, salivary glands, sweat glands and colon. It plays a central role in the regulation of the plasma sodium (Na), the extracellular potassium (K) and arterial blood pressure. It does so mainly by acting on the mineralocorticoid receptors in the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the nephron. It influences the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium (from and into the tubular fluids, respectively) of the kidney, thereby indirectly influencing water retention or loss, blood pressure and blood volume. When dysregulated, aldosterone is pathogenic and contributes to the development and progression of cardiovascular and renal disease. Aldosterone has exactly the opposite function of the atrial natriuretic hormone secreted by the heart.
Title: Angiotensin
Passage: Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and a subsequent increase in blood pressure. It is part of the renin-angiotensin system, which is a major target for drugs that raises blood pressure. Angiotensin also stimulates the release of aldosterone, another hormone, from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone promotes sodium retention in the distal nephron, in the kidney, which also drives blood pressure up.

Herbert James Haddockwas captain of British transatlantic ocean liner which gained what nickname?
|
Title: RMS Olympic
Passage: RMS "Olympic" ( ) was a British transatlantic ocean liner, the lead ship of the White Star Line's trio of "Olympic"-class liners. Unlike her younger sister ships, "Olympic" had a long career, spanning 24 years from 1911 to 1935. This included service as a troopship during the First World War, which gained her the nickname "Old Reliable". "Olympic" returned to civilian service after the war and served successfully as an ocean liner throughout the 1920s and into the first half of the 1930s, although increased competition, and the slump in trade during the Great Depression after 1930, made her operation increasingly unprofitable.

Passage: Herbert James Haddock, CB RNR (27 January 1861 4 October 1946) was an English naval reserve officer and ship's captain, and was captain of the RMS "Olympic" at the time of the sinking of the "Titanic". He was the first person to captain "Titanic," overseeing the ship at Belfast while her delivery-trip crew was assembling there from 25 to 31 March 1912.
Title: Four funnel liner
Passage: A four funnel liner, four funnelled liner or four stacker is an ocean liner with four funnels. The SS "Great Eastern", launched on 31 January 1858 (a full 40 years ahead of any comparable ships), was the only ocean liner to sport five funnels. As one funnel was later removed, the "Great Eastern", by default, became the first ocean liner to have four funnels. However, after the Great Eastern became a four funnel ship she never carried passengers so really should not be considered the first four funnel liner. The SS "Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse", launched on 4 May 1897, was properly the first ocean liner to have four funnels and was one of the first of the golden era of ocean liners that became prominent in the early- to mid-20th century. The most famous four funnel liners are the RMS "Titanic", which sank after striking an iceberg on her maiden voyage on 14 April 1912, and the RMS "Lusitania", which was torpedoed on 7 May 1915 during the First World War.

Passage: The present observation of Greenery Day ( , Midori no Hi ) as a national holiday in Japan stems from the celebration of the Emperor Shwa's birthday on April 29 every year during the Shwa era.

However, in practice it is seen as just another day that expands the Japanese Golden Week vacation.
