The climate of Bilbao and the rest of the north-western part of Spain (the so-called Green Spain) is different from the rest of the country, characterized by a higher amount of rainfall and precipitation days, fewer sunshine hours and mild temperatures, in summer comparable to northern half of Europe with temperate climate.
Title: List of locations with a subtropical climate
Passage: This list of locations with a subtropical climate specifically lists locations considered within the subtropics. The subtropics are geographic and climate zones located roughly between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn and the 40th parallel in both hemispheres. Subtropical climate regimes can exist at high elevations within the tropics, such as across the Mexican Plateau and in Vietnam and Taiwan. Six climate classifications utilize the term to help define the various temperature and precipitation regimes for the planet Earth. Using the Trewartha climate classification eight or more months of the year within the subtropics have an average temperature at or above 10 C . The Kppen climate classification instead classifies the warmest month above 22 C and the coldest above 0 C or -3 C depending on preference.

Which Nobel Prize laureate, known for his pioneering studies of electron scattering in atomic nuclei, did Behram Kurunolu host during his University of Miama career?
|
Title: Robert Hofstadter
Passage: Robert Hofstadter (February 5, 1915 November 17, 1990) was an American physicist. He was the joint winner of the 1961 Nobel Prize in Physics (together with Rudolf Mssbauer) "for his pioneering studies of electron scattering in atomic nuclei and for his consequent discoveries concerning the structure of nucleons".
Title: CockcroftWalton generator
Passage: The CockcroftWalton (CW) generator, or multiplier, is an electric circuit that generates a high DC voltage from a low-voltage AC or pulsing DC input. It was named after the British and Irish physicists John Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton, who in 1932 used this circuit design to power their particle accelerator, performing the first artificial nuclear disintegration in history. They used this voltage multiplier cascade for most of their research, which in 1951 won them the Nobel Prize in Physics for "Transmutation of atomic nuclei by artificially accelerated atomic particles". Less well known is the fact that the circuit was discovered much earlier, in 1919, by Heinrich Greinacher, a Swiss physicist. For this reason, this doubler cascade is sometimes also referred to as the Greinacher multiplier. CockcroftWalton circuits are still used in particle accelerators. They also are used in everyday electronic devices that require high voltages, such as X-ray machines, television sets, microwave ovens and photocopiers.
Title: Jellium
Passage: Jellium, also known as the uniform electron gas (UEG) or homogeneous electron gas (HEG), is a quantum mechanical model of interacting electrons in a solid where the positive charges (i.e. atomic nuclei) are assumed to be uniformly distributed in space whence the electron density
Title: Electron hole
Passage: In physics, chemistry, and electronic engineering, an electron hole (often simply called a hole) is the lack of an electron at a position where one could exist in an atom or atomic lattice. Since in a normal atom or crystal lattice the negative charge of the electrons is balanced by the positive charge of the atomic nuclei, the absence of an electron leaves a net positive charge at the hole's location. Holes in a metal or semiconductor crystal lattice can move through the lattice as electrons can, and act similarly to positively-charged particles. They play an important role in the operation of semiconductor devices such as transistors, diodes and integrated circuits. However they are not actually particles, but rather quasiparticles; they are different from the positron, which is the antiparticle of the electron. (See also Dirac Sea.)
Title: Charles J. Pedersen

|
Title: Curry's paradox
Passage: Curry's paradox is a paradox in which an arbitrary claim F is proved from the mere existence of a sentence C that says of itself "If C, then F", requiring only a few apparently innocuous logical deduction rules. Since F is arbitrary, any logic having these rules proves everything. The paradox may be expressed in natural language and in various logics, including certain forms of set theory, lambda calculus, and combinatory logic.
Title: Kurt Gdel
Passage: Kurt Friedrich Gdel ( , ; ] ; April 28, 1906 January 14, 1978) was an Austrian, and later American, logician, mathematician, and philosopher.

An internationally recognized authority on the life and work of Kurt Gdel, Professor Dawson is the author of numerous articles on axiomatic set theory and the history of modern logic. During the years 1982 to 1984, he catalogued Gdel's papers at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and afterward he served as a co-editor of Gdel's Collected Works. He recently retired as co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal "History and Philosophy of Logic".
Title: Ramified forcing
Passage: In the mathematical discipline of set theory, ramified forcing is the original form of forcing introduced by to prove the independence of the continuum hypothesis from ZermeloFraenkel set theory. Ramified forcing starts with a model M of set theory in which the axiom of constructibility, "V" "L" , holds, and then builds up a larger model "M"["G"] of ZermeloFraenkel set theory by adding a generic subset G of a partially ordered set to M , imitating Kurt Gdel's constructible hierarchy.
Title: Richard's paradox
Passage: In logic, Richard's paradox is a semantical antinomy of set theory and natural language first described by the French mathematician Jules Richard in 1905. The paradox is ordinarily used to motivate the importance of distinguishing carefully between mathematics and metamathematics. Kurt Gdel specifically cites Richard's antinomy as a semantical analogue to his syntactical incompleteness result in the introductory section of "On Formally Undecidable Propositions in Principia Mathematica and Related Systems I". The paradox was also a motivation of the development of predicative mathematics.

He gave his bayat (secret oath of allegiance) to Osama bin Laden in 1998, an experience he describes in detail in his memoir.

A citizen of Yemen born in Saudi Arabia, Al-Bahri was radicalized in his teens by dissident Saudi Ulemas and participated in clandestine political activities which were funded in part by people trafficking. Having determined to become a jihadist he went first to Bosnia and then, briefly, to Somalia before arriving in Afghanistan in 1996 in the hope of joining Al-Qaeda, which he soon did. After four years, al-Bahri became "disillusioned", largely because bin Laden consolidated al-Qaeda's relationship with the Taliban by giving his bayat to its leader, Mullah Omar, but also because he had married and become a father.

Passage: Infernal Affairs is a 2002 Hong Kong crime-thriller film directed by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak. It tells the story of a police officer who infiltrates a triad, and a police officer secretly working for the same gang. The Chinese title means ""The Unceasing Path"", a reference to Avici, the lowest level of Hell in Buddhism, where one endures suffering incessantly. The English title is a word play, combining the law enforcement term "internal affairs" typically the division of any law enforcement agency that would be responsible for (among other things) finding a mole with the adjective "infernal", meant in this case as a reference not to fires or infernos in general, but specifically to the inferno of Hell ("Inferno" being the Italian word for "Hell"). Thus, the English title is both a phonetic pun and like the Chinese title an allusion to a place or condition of eternal suffering. "Infernal Affairs" is the first in the Infernal Affairs series and was followed by "Infernal Affairs II" and "Infernal Affairs III".

The nine plays span a period of approximately 150 years of British history. Norwich seeks to address the real people and real events behind the histories and identify, as much as possible, where the plays and the facts coincide and where they may differ.
