How did dame's rocket get to the US?
The name gives it away. The word "dame" was used to refer to women long years ago in Europe. It is said that the sweet smell of the flowers caused women to really LOVE this plant and the "s" at the end of the word "dame's" shows a close "connection" like ownership.This flower was brought to America by the earliest settlers. It rapidly escaped from the cultivated gardens.The "rocket" part of the name refers to the speed with which the young leaves burst forth and grow very fast in the spring.It's Latin name is HESPERIS MATRONALIS. Matronalis refers to "matron"which means ,"a married woman usually marked by dignified maturity". Hesperis is refering to a mythological diety named "NIGHT" .It is the name of the Evening Star. Late in the evening as the European ladies would walk for pleasure through their formal gardens it was very easy for them to smell the sweetness of this particular flower,,,,and it was very pretty. The leaves and flowers are EDIBLE ,but very bitter to the taste.
What is the difference between a bar magnet and a electromagnet?
A bar magnet is a permanent magnet that produces a magnetic field without the need for an external power source. An electromagnet is a temporary magnet that produces a magnetic field when an electric current flows through a coil of wire. The strength of an electromagnet can be controlled by adjusting the amount of current flowing through the coil.

In Japanese, "kara" means empty and "te" means hand. Karate is a non weapons based martial art that was created in Okinawa because the emperor had banned all weapons and the villagers needed to protect themselves.
So they made karate an open hand or fist style fighting that would protect them. Karate today has been westernised a bit more it is more today about competition and self defence. Depending on the school, the art of Karate still has the core values and respects of the old days.
The karate uniform is called a "dogi" or "gi" pronounced gee.
Karate is sport about self protection, self control, self discipline and it gains you confidence.
What is difference between current and electricfield?
Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a material, while an electric field is a region of space around a charged object where the charged object can exert a force on another charged object without direct contact. In other words, current refers to the flow of charges, while electric field refers to the force that influences the movement of charges.
What are the differences between crystalline and amorphous compounds or elements?
Elements themselves are not crystalline or amorphous. Instead this describes the structure of certain elements and compounds in the solid state. For instance, a single element can be found in both a crystalline form as well as an amorphous form. A crystalline solid is one in which there is a regular repeating pattern in the structure, or in other words, there is long-range order. In fact, you can completely describe the entire crystal by describing the single "repeat unit." For instance, as a simple example, if I have the pattern ABCABCABCABCABC... (that repeats infinitely) I can completely describe it by just saying it is "ABC" over and over again. In a 3-dimensional crystal, this repeat unit is called the "unit cell." Some crystalline solids are diamond, table salt, and many types of minerals found in the earth. An amorphous solid is one which does not have long-range order. In other words, there is no repeat unit. To contrast the example above, it would now be: ABCBCABBCACBACBAC... where there is no way to figure out what will be the next letter. Some examples of amorphous solids are glass (in windows, for example), wax, and plastics. If a liquid cools very quickly, the molecules will not have time to arrange themselves in the most favorable pattern (which will almost always be crystalline), and so they are locked into a disordered solid. Silicon is a common solid that can be found in both amorphous and crystalline forms, depending on how it is manufactured. Crystalline silicon is much harder to grow, but it is what is used in computer chips. Amorphous silicon is much cheaper and easier to grow, and is commonly used in solar panels.
What is the difference between refineries and petrochemical plants?
A refinery processes crude oil into different components such as kerosene, gasoline, diesel, LPG (light petroleum gases), etc. A petrochemical plant is a chemical plant that will use a petroleum based feedstock, such as LPG or other products from a petroleum refinery to produce a chemical product, such as plastics for example.
What is the difference between a polar bond and a nonpolar bond?
In a polar bond, there is an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms due to differences in electronegativity, resulting in a partial positive and partial negative charge. This creates a dipole moment. In a nonpolar bond, there is equal sharing of electrons between atoms resulting in no dipole moment.
Can you tell me the difference between the lilium lancifolium plant and a hemerocallis fulva plant?
Lilium lancifolium is commonly known as Tiger Lily and has downward-facing blooms with dark spots, while Hemerocallis fulva is known as the Orange Daylily and has upward-facing blooms in a solid orange color. Tiger Lily has narrower leaves and grows from bulbs, while Orange Daylily has wider leaves and grows from rhizomes. Additionally, Tiger Lily is toxic to cats, while Orange Daylily is not.
What is the difference between a mixture or a solution?
Mixture refers to a more general cluster of items, including solids. For example a mixture of nuts. However, a solution is more specific and refers to liquids and things that will dissolve in liquids.
What is the difference between acrylic alkyd and modified alkyd?
Alkyds can be modified (blended with ) acrylic resins/emulsions or other polymers such as phenolic resins or urethanes, so all acrylic alkyds are modified alkyds, but not all modified alkyds are acrylic alkyds. Both are pretty general terms, but modified alkyd is much more vague and proprietary. The term "Acrylic Alkyd" is usually reserved for alkyds which have been chemically modified with acrylic monomers such as methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid, styrene, vinyl toluene, etc. These acrylic monomers are incorporated into the alkyd molecule by addition polymerization. Such alkyds are generally characterized by faster solvent release, quicker tack-free time, better hardness, blocking resistance, color and color retention, and durability, depending on the choice of monomers and amount of acrylic content. These alkyds are also more expensive than conventional alkyds due to higher cost of monomers and the additional manufacturing steps required.
What was the difference between Imperial Germany and Nazi Germany?
Imperial Germany came from the unification of the German kingdoms following the Franco-Prussian war of 1871 and went through the end of the WWI and the reign of Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II. Nazi Germany began with Hitler's ascent to power in January 1933 and ended when WWII ended on may 8, 1945.
Difference between semen and mho which are the units of conductance?
The correct spelling is siemens, and it is the SI unit for conductance -the reciprocal of resistance. The mho is simply an obsolete unit for the same thing, and is numerically equal to the siemens.
What is the difference between color and color?
There is no difference between "color" and "color." They are simply alternate spellings of the same word, with the former being the American English spelling and the latter being the British English spelling.
What is the Classification of iodine?

What is the difference between simulated an synthetic diamonds?
The difference is big: synthetic diamonds are real diamonds and repeat all properties of natural diamonds, simulants are just trying to copy the brightness of the valuable gemstone. Synthetic's price is usually much higher than simulants. For more information on simulants and real diamonds follow the attached link.
Are sensors and scanners different?
Yes, sensors and scanners are different. Sensors detect physical properties or changes in the environment, such as light, temperature, or motion. Scanners, on the other hand, refer to devices that capture and convert physical documents or images into digital formats for storage or processing.

What is the underlying principle of all the different sects of Hinduism?
There were four Indian Castes at the time of Buddha's birth. Buddha was born in the royal caste. Brahmin was the highest caste. Buddha learned everything about Brahmin teachings, but was not satisfied with them. He was also not satisfied with the teachings of other religions, and finally he found his own path towards englightenment to eliminate the sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
Brahmin religion later evolved into Hinduism, merging some of the Buddha's teachings. This happened after Buddha's death.
Enlightenment in Buddhism is the realization of the three law: (1) all things are impermanent, (2) all things lack inherent existence (no-self), (3) and that nirvana is perfect quiesence. It is attained via Prajna Wisdom.
When does chokecherry ripen in ND?
Usually anywhere from the middle of August until the middle of September, once the berries are dark purple or almost black, showing no red. I have read, once they reach that point, you should let them 'over-ripen' for another week to get the best flavor. Some parts of the trees, depending on height and exposure to elements will ripen quicker, so you can continue to pick as they continue to ripen. In 2009, I picked berries from late August to late September to make jelly with and did not notice any difference in the flavor of the jelly.
How do a meteor and an asteroid differ?
An asteroid is larger than a meteoroid, though the actual size requirement is not defined.
Difference between pitch and volume of sound?
Pitch- How high or low it sounds. The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency.
Frequency- The number of wavelengths in an area. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
How do you treat spent wash of distillary by reverse osmosis?
Spentwash is an effluent created by fermentation of sugar cane molasses to produce alcohol. It is also called dunder or vinasse. It has very high BOD & COD & it is difficult to dispose. Its volume can be reduced to minimum 50% by application of reverse osmois (RO) using special type of disc tube or plate tube membranes technology. It extracts colorless water form spentwash, which can be resued in mmolasses fermentation. The balance concentrated spentwash can either be composted or by mixing with biomass can be incinerated to achieve zero liquid discharge as desired by pollution control authorities. Rochem Separations Systems (I)P Ltd. has about sixty successful RO units processing spentwash for past several years in India, Mexico, Vietnam etc. This company also offers a technology to further concentrate the balance spentwash & gasify the same to achieve zero liquid discharge. ---Dr. H. M. Modak
Please clarify the units of concentration of carbonate and bicarbonate. "mgl" is not a unit of concentration (it's not a unit of anything to my knowledge. To answer this question, you need the concentration of both ions. So either provide the amount of both ions AND the amount of water, or just specify the concentration (in unit of molarity, or moles per liter preferably).
