"Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 93% based on reviews from 177 critics, with an average score of 7.7 out of 10, with the site's consensus stating, \"\"Dallas Buyers Club\" rests squarely on Matthew McConaughey's scrawny shoulders, and he carries the burden gracefully with what might be a career-best performance.\"",
"On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 reviews from film critics, the film has a rating score of 84 based on 45 reviews, indicating universal acclaim.",
"Richard Corliss of \"Time\" magazine considered McConaughey's portrayal to be a \"bold, drastic and utterly persuasive inhabiting of a doomed fighter\", remarking that \"if the camera occasionally suffers a fashionable case of the jitters, the movie transcends its agitated verismo to impart dramatic and behavioral truth\".",
"Leto's portrayal of Rayon, a drug-addicted trans woman with AIDS who befriends McConaughey's character Ron Woodroof, received critical acclaim.",
"The writers created Rayon, to show \"Woodroof’s gradual acceptance of a subculture he had dismissed.\"",
"\"Time\"'s Richard Corliss noted, \"Leto captures the sweet intensity and almost saintly good humor of a glamorous, poignant and downright divoon creature — a blithe Camille who may surrender her health but never her panache.\"",
"Leto was awarded a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a variety of film critics' circle awards, including his first Academy Award.",
"After the Academy award, the casting of a non-transgender actor, as opposed to a transgender actor, was widely critiqued as a missed opportunity, with some LGBT activists criticizing the choice as misogynistic.",
"The \"L.A. Times\" compared the issue to white actors appropriating, and exploiting, people of color roles of East Asians, and Africans in the past; and \"The Guardian\" noted transgender actors are often relegated to roles such as prostitutes, corpses and \"freaks.\""

"During the Cold War, Western historiography of the October Revolution developed in direct response to the assertions of the Soviet view.",
"The Soviet Marxist-Leninist version of the October Revolution conditioned historical interpretations in the United States and the West.",
"As a result, these Western historians exposed what they considered flaws in the Soviet view, thereby undermining the Bolshevik’s original legitimacy, as well as the precepts of Marxism.",
"Far from being inevitable according the historical laws of Marxism, these Western historians presented the revolution as the result of a chain of contingent accidents.",
"Examples of these accidental and contingent factors that precipitated the Revolution include World War I's timing, chance, and the poor leadership of Tsar Nicholas II as well as liberal and moderate socialists.",
"According to this historical interpretation, it was not popular support, but rather Bolshevik manipulation of the masses and the organization’s ruthlessness and superior structure which enabled it to survive.",
"For these historians, the Bolsheviks’ defeat in the Constituent Assembly elections of November–December 1917 demonstrated popular opposition to the Bolsheviks’ coup, as did the scale and breadth of the Civil War.",
"These historians saw the organization of the Bolshevik party as proto-totalitarian.",
"Their interpretation of the October Revolution as a violent coup organized by a proto-totalitarian party reinforced the idea that totalitarianism is an inherent part of Soviet history.",
"For them, Stalinist totalitarianism developed as a natural progression from Leninism and the Bolshevik party’s tactics and organization."

"With the Soviets wary of mounting tensions with Germany and the Japanese planning to take advantage of the European War by seizing resource-rich European possessions in Southeast Asia, the two powers signed the Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact in April 1941.",
"By contrast, the Germans were steadily making preparations for an attack on the Soviet Union, amassing forces on the Soviet border.",
"Hitler believed that Britain's refusal to end the war was based on the hope that the United States and the Soviet Union would enter the war against Germany sooner or later.",
"He accordingly decided to try to strengthen Germany's relations with the Soviets, or failing that, to attack and eliminate them as a factor.",
"In November 1940 negotiations took place to determine if the Soviet Union would join the Tripartite Pact.",
"The Soviets showed some interest, but asked for concessions from Finland, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Japan that Germany considered unacceptable.",
"On 18 December 1940 Hitler issued the directive to prepare for an invasion of the Soviet Union.",
"On 22 June 1941, Germany, Italy and Romania invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa, with Germany accusing the Soviets of plotting against them.",
"They were joined shortly by Finland and Hungary.",
"The primary targets of this surprise offensive were the Baltic region, Moscow and Ukraine, with the ultimate goal of ending the 1941 campaign near the Arkhangelsk-Astrakhan line, from the Caspian to the White Seas.",
"Hitler's objectives were to eliminate the Soviet Union as a military power, exterminate Communism, generate \"Lebensraum\" (\"living space\") by dispossessing the native population and guarantee access to the strategic resources needed to defeat Germany's remaining rivals.",
"Although the Red Army was preparing for strategic counter-offensives before the war, \"Barbarossa\" forced the Soviet supreme command to adopt a strategic defence.",
"During the summer, the Axis made significant gains into Soviet territory, inflicting immense losses in both personnel and materiel.",
"By the middle of August, however, the German Army High Command decided to suspend the offensive of a considerably depleted Army Group Centre, and to divert the 2nd Panzer Group to reinforce troops advancing towards central Ukraine and Leningrad.",
"The Kiev offensive was overwhelmingly successful, resulting in encirclement and elimination of four Soviet armies, and made further advance into Crimea and industrially developed Eastern Ukraine (the First Battle of Kharkov) possible.",
"The diversion of three quarters of the Axis troops and the majority of their air forces from France and the central Mediterranean to the Eastern Front prompted Britain to reconsider its grand strategy.",
"In July, the UK and the Soviet Union formed a military alliance against Germany The British and Soviets invaded Iran to secure the Persian Corridor and Iran's oil fields.",
"In August, the United Kingdom and the United States jointly issued the Atlantic Charter.",
"By October, when Axis operational objectives in Ukraine and the Baltic region were achieved, with only the sieges of Leningrad and Sevastopol continuing, a major offensive against Moscow had been renewed.",
"After two months of fierce battles, the German army almost reached the outer suburbs of Moscow, where the exhausted troops were forced to suspend their offensive.",
"Large territorial gains were made by Axis forces, but their campaign had failed to achieve its main objectives: two key cities remained in Soviet hands, the Soviet capability to resist was not broken, and the Soviet Union retained a considerable part of its military potential.",
"The \"blitzkrieg\" phase of the war in Europe had ended.",
"By early December, freshly mobilised reserves allowed the Soviets to achieve numerical parity with Axis troops.",
"This, as well as intelligence data that established a minimal number of Soviet troops in the East sufficient to prevent any attack by the Japanese Kwantung Army, allowed the Soviets to begin a massive counter-offensive that started on 5 December all along the front and pushed German troops west."

"It is often convenient to study a thermodynamic process in which a single variable, such as temperature, pressure, or volume, etc., is held fixed.",
"Furthermore, it is useful to group these processes into pairs, in which each variable held constant is one member of a conjugate pair.",
"Several commonly studied thermodynamic processes are:",
"Isobaric process: occurs at constant pressure",
"Isochoric process: occurs at constant volume (also called isometric/isovolumetric)",
"Isothermal process: occurs at a constant temperature",
"Adiabatic process: occurs without loss or gain of energy as heat",
"Isentropic process: a reversible adiabatic process occurs at a constant entropy, but is a fictional idealization.",
"Conceptually it is possible to actually physically conduct a process that keeps the entropy of the system constant, allowing systematically controlled removal of heat, by conduction to a cooler body, to compensate for entropy produced within the system by irreversible work done on the system.",
"Such isentropic conduct of a process seems called for when the entropy of the system is considered as an independent variable, as for example when the internal energy is considered as a function of the entropy and volume of the system, the natural variables of the internal energy as studied by Gibbs.",
"Isenthalpic process: occurs at a constant enthalpy",
"Isolated process: no matter or energy (neither as work nor as heat) is transferred into or out of the system",
"It is sometimes of interest to study a process in which several variables are controlled, subject to some specified constraint.",
"In a system in which a chemical reaction can occur, for example, in which the pressure and temperature can affect the equilibrium composition, a process might occur in which temperature is held constant but pressure is slowly altered, just so that chemical equilibrium is maintained all the way.",
"There is a corresponding process at constant temperature in which the final pressure is the same but is reached by a rapid jump.",
"Then it can be shown that the volume change resulting from the rapid jump process is smaller than that from the slow equilibrium process.",
"The work transferred differs between the two processes."

" Alexander Korda's 1936 biographical film \"Rembrandt\" depicts the painting, shown in error in its truncated form, as a failure at its completion, perceived as lampooning its outraged subjects.",
" In King Crimson's song \"The Night Watch\", on its 1974 album \"Starless and Bible Black\", the lyricist Richard Palmer-James muses on the painting to capture a key period in Dutch history, when, after a long period of “Spanish Wars,” the merchants and other members of the bourgeoisie can turn their lives inward and focus on the tangible results of their lives’ efforts.",
"The song adopts a number of perspectives, including the primary subjects and the artist himself, and paints a mini-portrait of the emergence of the modern upper-middle class and the consumerist culture.",
"However, the song presents this portrait with a deft touch, and while not fully approving, is sympathetic in tone.",
" In Jean-Luc Godard's 1982 film, \"Passion\", \"The Night Watch\" is reenacted with live actors in an opening shot.",

"The cover illustrator, Paul Kidby, pays tribute to Rembrandt by placing him in the picture, in the position where Rembrandt is said to have painted himself.",
" \"The Night Watch\" is the subject of a 2007-film by director Peter Greenaway called \"Nightwatching\", in which the film posits a conspiracy within the musketeer regiment of Frans Banning Cocq and Willem van Ruytenburch, and suggests that Rembrandt may have immortalized a conspiracy theory using subtle allegory in his group portrait of the regiment, subverting what was to have been a highly prestigious commission for both painter and subject.",
"His 2008 film \"Rembrandt's J'Accuse\" is a sequel or follow-on, and covers the same idea, using extremely detailed analysis of the compositional elements in the painting; in this Greenaway describes \"The Night Watch\" as (currently) the fourth most famous painting in the Western world, after the Mona Lisa, the Last Supper and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.",

"\"Rembrandt\" is a modification of the spelling of the artist's first name that he introduced in 1633.",
"Roughly speaking, his earliest signatures (ca.",
"1625) consisted of an initial \"R\", or the monogram \"RH\" (for Rembrant Harmenszoon; i.e.",
"\"Rembrant, the son of Harmen\"), and starting in 1629, \"RHL\" (the \"L\" stood, presumably, for Leiden).",
"In 1632, he used this monogram early in the year, then added his patronymic to it, \"RHL-van Rijn\", but replaced this form in that same year and began using his first name alone with its original spelling, \"Rembrant\".",
"In 1633 he added a \"d\", and maintained this form consistently from then on, proving that this minor change had a meaning for him (whatever it might have been).",
"This change is purely visual; it does not change the way his name is pronounced.",
"Curiously enough, despite the large number of paintings and etchings signed with this modified first name, most of their documents that mentioned him during his lifetime retained the original \"Rembrant\" spelling.",
"(Note: the rough chronology of signature forms above applies to the paintings, and to a lesser degree to the etchings; from 1632, presumably, there is only one etching signed \"RHL-v. Rijn,\" the large-format \"Raising of Lazarus,\" B 73).",
"His practice of signing his work with his first name, later followed by Vincent van Gogh, was probably inspired by Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo who, then as now, were referred to by their first names alone."

" Alexander Korda's 1936 biographical film \"Rembrandt\" depicts the painting, shown in error in its truncated form, as a failure at its completion, perceived as lampooning its outraged subjects.",
" In King Crimson's song \"The Night Watch\", on its 1974 album \"Starless and Bible Black\", the lyricist Richard Palmer-James muses on the painting to capture a key period in Dutch history, when, after a long period of “Spanish Wars,” the merchants and other members of the bourgeoisie can turn their lives inward and focus on the tangible results of their lives’ efforts.",
"The song adopts a number of perspectives, including the primary subjects and the artist himself, and paints a mini-portrait of the emergence of the modern upper-middle class and the consumerist culture.",
"However, the song presents this portrait with a deft touch, and while not fully approving, is sympathetic in tone.",
" In Jean-Luc Godard's 1982 film, \"Passion\", \"The Night Watch\" is reenacted with live actors in an opening shot.",

"He instructs the viewer not to focus on the overall composition, but to approach his film as one would a Rembrandt and \"focus on the faces.",

" \"The Night Watch\" is a major plot device in the eponymous 1995-film, Night Watch, which focuses on the painting's theft.",
" \"The Night Watch\" is parodied on the British cover of Terry Pratchett's 2002 book by the same name.",
"The cover illustrator, Paul Kidby, pays tribute to Rembrandt by placing him in the picture, in the position where Rembrandt is said to have painted himself.",
" \"The Night Watch\" is the subject of a 2007-film by director Peter Greenaway called \"Nightwatching\", in which the film posits a conspiracy within the musketeer regiment of Frans Banning Cocq and Willem van Ruytenburch, and suggests that Rembrandt may have immortalized a conspiracy theory using subtle allegory in his group portrait of the regiment, subverting what was to have been a highly prestigious commission for both painter and subject.",
"His 2008 film \"Rembrandt's J'Accuse\" is a sequel or follow-on, and covers the same idea, using extremely detailed analysis of the compositional elements in the painting; in this Greenaway describes \"The Night Watch\" as (currently) the fourth most famous painting in the Western world, after the Mona Lisa, the Last Supper and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.",
" In 2006 \"The Night Watch\" has inspired the literary work A Ronda da Noite by the famous Portuguese writer Agustina Bessa Luís."

"Pathology began to develop as a subject during the 19th Century through teachers and physicians that studied pathology.",
"They referred to it as “pathological anatomy” or “morbid anatomy.” However, pathology as a field of medicine was not recognized until the late 19th and early 20th centuries.",
"In the 19th century, physicians realized that disease-causing pathogens, or germs (disease-causing, or pathogenic, microbes, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, amoebae, molds, protists, and prions) existed and were capable of reproduction and multiplication, and that evil spirits or humors, or even the signs and symptoms of the condition, were not the causative agent of a disease.",
"Through the new information gathered regarding germ reproduction, physicians began to compare the characteristics of one germ’s symptoms as they developed within an affected individual to another germ’s characteristics and symptoms.",
"This realization led to the foundational understanding that diseases are able to create themselves, and that they can affect human beings in unique ways.",
"In order to determine causes of diseases, medical experts used the most common and widely accepted assumptions or symptoms of their times.",

"During the 19th century, Rudolf Virchow gave the biggest contribution to the field by introducing the procedure of analyzing tissue and cells through a microscope to pathologists.",
"This greatly affected the discipline because it was another way to analyze objects, and it led to more advanced technological developments.",
"By the late 1920s to early 1930s pathology was deemed a medical specialty.",
"During the years following, the decision to split pathology into sub-specialties arose.",
"Today, anatomical, clinical, molecular, forensic, oral, dermatopathology, hematopathology, and neuropathology exist as medical specialties.",

"Scientists argue that there is an old valley, buried by glacial drift, at the approximate location of the present Welland Canal.",
"When the ice melted, the upper Great Lakes emptied into the Niagara river, which followed the rearranged topography across the Niagara Escarpment.",
"In time, the river cut a gorge through the north facing cliff, or cuesta.",
"Because of the interactions of three major rock formations, the rocky bed did not erode evenly.",
"The top rock formation was composed of erosion-resistant limestone and Lockport dolostone.",

"The aerial photo on the right clearly shows the hard caprock, the Lockport Formation (Middle Silurian), which underlies the rapids above the falls, and approximately the upper third of the high gorge wall.",
"Immediately below the hard-rock formation, comprising about two thirds of the cliff, lay the weaker, softer, sloping Rochester Formation (Lower Silurian).",
"This formation was composed mainly of shale, though it has some thin limestone layers.",
"It also contains ancient fossils.",
"In time, the river eroded the soft layer that supported the hard layers, undercutting the hard caprock, which gave way in great chunks.",
"This process repeated countless times, eventually carving out the falls.",
"Submerged in the river in the lower valley, hidden from view, is the Queenston Formation (Upper Ordovician), which is composed of shales and fine sandstones.",
"All three formations were laid down in an ancient sea, their differences of character deriving from changing conditions within that sea.",
"About 10,900 years ago, the Niagara Falls was located between present-day Queenston, Ontario, and Lewiston, New York, but erosion of their crest has caused the waterfalls to retreat approximately southward.",
"The Horseshoe Falls, which are approximately wide, have also changed their shape through the process of erosion; evolving from a small arch, to a horseshoe bend, to the present day gigantic inverted V. Just upstream from the falls' current location, Goat Island splits the course of the Niagara River, resulting in the separation of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls to the west from the American and Bridal Veil Falls to the east.",

"Highly elusive areas of study for astrophysicists, which are of immense interest to the public, include their attempts to determine: the properties of dark matter, dark energy, and black holes; whether or not time travel is possible, wormholes can form, or the multiverse exists; and the origin and ultimate fate of the universe.",
"Topics also studied by theoretical astrophysicists include: solar system formation and evolution; stellar dynamics and evolution; galaxy formation and evolution; magnetohydrodynamics; large-scale structure of matter in the universe; origin of cosmic rays; general relativity and physical cosmology, including string cosmology and astroparticle physics.",
"Astrophysics can be studied at the bachelors, masters, and Ph.D. levels in physics or astronomy departments at many universities.",
"Many such programs retain the name \"astronomy\" for historical purposes."
