One dish involves grilling patties made from "posto", sometimes frying them ("posto-r bora"). Another dish involves simply mixing uncooked ground poppy seeds (kancha posto) with mustard oil, chopped green chili peppers, fresh onions and rice. The cuisine of the southern part of the south Indian state of Karnataka includes a very popular dish called Gasagase Payasa (Kannada: ಗಸಗಸೆ ಪಾಯಸ). It is a liquid dessert made out of white poppy seeds, jaggery, coconut and milk. Andhra cuisine also uses white poppy seeds, called Gasaalu (గసాలు) in

But a poppy tea consumed in some areas and often referred to as "doda" has been controversial for containing ground opium poppy plant, especially the seed head, and contains significant levels of opiates. Popular in some South Asian communities, "doda" is created by grinding dried poppy husks or poppy seeds into a fine powder and then ingesting the mix with hot water or tea. In Canada, doda is made from poppy plants brought in from Afghanistan and Arizona under the guise of legal purposes such as

Kulcha can be salty (namkeen) or sweet (Qandi). Both kinds are covered on top with a layer of white poppy seeds. Eating large quantities of poppy seeds can cause a phytobezoar which can block the bowels. But, if the seeds are consumed in moderation as an ingredient in cooked or baked foods, phytobezoar formation is very unlikely. Allergy (type 1 hypersensitivity) to poppy seeds is rare, but has been reported and can cause anaphylaxis.


title: "Poppy seed" content: Although the drug opium is produced by "milking" latex from the unripe fruits ("seed pods") rather than from the seeds, all parts of the plant can contain or carry the opium alkaloids, especially morphine and codeine. This means that eating foods (e.g., muffins) that contain poppy seeds can result in a false positive for opiates in a drug test. However the results provided will not be the same for someone who uses opiates. Morphine levels in poppy seeds range between 4–200 mg/kg. According to an article published in the "Medical Science Law Journal", after ingesting "a curry meal or two

Another article in the "Journal of Forensic Science" reports that concentration of morphine in some batches of seeds may be as high as 251 µg/g. In both studies codeine was also present in the seeds in smaller concentrations. Therefore, it is possible to cross the current standard 2,000 ng/mL limit of detection, depending on seed potency and quantity ingested. Some toxicology labs still continue to

Discovery Channel's "MythBusters" series episode "Poppy Seed Drug Test" demonstrated that eating both poppy seed bread and poppy seed bagels resulted in both of the hosts testing positive for opiate use, 30 minutes later. To minimize the problems caused by false positives for competitive athletes, the USADA recommends that competitive athletes refrain from eating foods containing poppy seeds several days prior to a competitive event. A fictional example of such a false positive test in popular culture was in the "Seinfeld" episode "The Shower Head", where the character Elaine Benes was not allowed

The sale of poppy seeds from "Papaver somniferum" is banned in Singapore because of the morphine content. Poppy seeds are also prohibited in Taiwan, primarily because of the risk that viable seeds will be sold and used to grow opium poppies. China prohibits spice mixes made from poppyseed and poppyseed pods because of the traces of opiates in them, and has since at least 2005. Despite its present use in Arab cuisine as a bread spice, poppy seeds are also banned

In one extreme case in the United Arab Emirates, poppy seeds found on a traveler's clothes led to imprisonment. Concerns were raised in Malaysia by MP Datuk Mohd Said Yusof who claimed in 2005 that mamak restaurants used poppy seeds in their cooking to get customers addicted to it. As poppy seeds cause false positive results in drug tests, it is advised in airports in India not to carry such items to other countries, where this can result in punishments based on false positive results.

title: "Corbicula fluminea" content: Corbicula fluminea Corbicula fluminea is a species of freshwater clam, an aquatic bivalve mollusk in the family Cyrenidae. This species is often confused with "Corbicula fluminalis" due to the two species<nowiki>'</nowiki> similar colour and texture. The species is regarded as having originated somewhere in Eastern Asia, leading to the common names of Asian clam or Asiatic clam. In the aquarium and koi pond trade, it is often called golden clam or golden freshwater clam. In Southeast Asia, it is known as the prosperity clam or good luck clam. In Korean, the name is ("jaecheop", among other transliterations), and the species


title: "Corbicula fluminea" content: is used for a common dish called "jaecheop-guk" (clam soup). The species has been introduced into many parts of the world, including South America, North America and Europe. Right after reaching maturity, these clams produce eggs, followed by sperm. Even later, they produce eggs and sperm simultaneously. They can self-fertilize, and release up to 2,000 juveniles per day, and more than 100,000 in a lifetime. Juveniles are only 1 mm long when discharged, and take one to four years to reach maturity. At this time, they are about 1 cm long. Adults can reach a length of about 5 cm.


title: "Corbicula fluminea" content: The outside of the shell is normally yellow-green with concentric rings. The color can flake, leaving white spots. The shells are lightly purple on the inside. They feed primarily on phytoplankton (algae), which they filter from the sandy or muddy bottoms of streams, lakes, or canals. According to the United States Geological Survey, "C. fluminea" is likely to continue to expand its North American range until it reaches its lower temperature tolerance. The primary economic and social impact of the invasion of "C. fluminea" has been billions of dollars in costs associated with clogged water intake pipes of power plants,

This clam originally occurs in freshwater environments of Eastern Asia, including Russia, Thailand, the Philippines, China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan: "C. fluminea" also occurs naturally in freshwater environments of Africa. "C. fluminea" was probably brought to North America at the latest in 1924, by Asian immigrants who used the clams as a food source. It is abundant in the Albemarle region of North Carolina, as well as other areas along the east coast. In South America it was probably introduced in the

Nonindigenous distributions of "C. fluminea" include: Two species are present in introduced populations, "C. fluminea" and "C. fluminalis". However, the two species are often mixed together. The names themselves are sometimes confused in the literature (e.g. by being called ""Corbicula fluminata""). Care needs to be taken to properly distinguish the two species. The ratio of width and height in "C. fluminea" is on average 1.1. In "C. fluminalis" it is smaller (0.97); still, there is much variation and considerable overlap in shape. Most easily, they


title: "Corbicula fluminea" content: can be distinguished by the amount of ribs on the shell; "C. fluminea" has 7 to 14 ribs per cm, "C. fluminalis" 13 to 28. This character is already clearly recognizable (albeit only by direct comparison) in very small (5 mm diameter) specimens. In addition, when viewed from the side (looking at the opening between the shells), "C. fluminalis" is rounder, almost heart-shaped, while "C. fluminea" has a slightly flatter shape like a teardrop with a notched broad end. Small specimens of "C. fluminalis" are almost spherical, while those of "C. fluminea" are decidedly flattened. All these differences except the

title: Briksdalsbreen content: Briksdalsbreen Briksdalsbreen () is one of the most accessible and best known arms of the Jostedalsbreen glacier. Briksdalsbreen is located in the municipality of Stryn in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. The glacier lies on the north side of the Jostedalsbreen, in "Briksdalen" ("the Briks valley") which is located at the end of the Oldedalen valley, about south of the village of Olden. It is located inside Jostedalsbreen National Park. Briksdalsbreen terminates in a small glacial lake, "Briksdalsbrevatnet", which lies above sea level. The size of Briksdalsbreen depends not only on temperature, but is also strongly affected by precipitation. Measurements

In the period from 1934 to 1951 the glacier receded by , exposing the glacial lake. In the period from 1967 until 1997 the glacier expanded by and covered the whole lake, with the glacier front ending at the lake outlet. The glacier attracted international attention in the 1990s, as it was growing at a time when other European glaciers were in decline. After the year 2000, the glacier once again receded. In 2004 it had receded to behind the lake


title: Briksdalsbreen content: outlet and in 2007 the glacier front was on dry land behind the lake. In this regard, its position approximated the situation in the 1960s. However, glaciologists speculate that the "size" of the glacier was at its smallest since the 13th century. In 2008, the glacier front had only receded by since the 2007 measurement. The slower melting is explained by the glacier being completely on dry land. The winter of 2007–2008 saw an increase in glacier mass, which was expected to move the glacier front forward around 2010. This was confirmed in the fall of 2010, when measurements showed


title: Briksdalsbreen content: that the glacier had advanced 8 metres over the last year This was however in comparison with the 2009 measurements, which saw the glacier being the most receded since measurements started in 1900. As the winter of 2009–2010 saw little snow and the summer temperature in 2010 was 2.5–3 degrees Celsius (4.5-5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) above average, Professor Atle Nesje predicts that further strong receding will be seen in 2013. As Briksdalsbreen is now very narrow at some stretches, it is possible that it will temporarily disconnect from the larger Jostedalsbreen.

title: Trumpetfish content: Trumpetfish The trumpetfishes are three species of highly specialized, tubular-elongated marine fishes in the genus "Aulostomus", of the monogeneric family Aulostomidae. The trumpetfishes are members of the order Syngnathiformes, together with the seahorses and the similarly built, closely related cornetfishes. The generic name, "Aulostomus", is a composite of two Greek words: "aulos", meaning flute, and "stoma", meaning mouth, because the species appear to have tubular snouts. "Flutemouth" is another less-common name for the members of the family (although this word is more often used to refer to closely related cornetfishes of the family Fistulariidae). Trumpetfishes are found in tropical waters


title: Trumpetfish content: worldwide, with two species in the Atlantic and one in the Indo-Pacific. They are mostly demersal reef-dwellers, where one species seems to prefer rocky substrate. They are relatively large for reef fish, where they reach almost 1 m in length. Bodies of trumpetfish are elongated, rigid, and pike-shaped. Their dorsal and anal fins are almost closely adjacent to the tail, where individual dorsal spines reach midway towards the head region. Similar to most members of the order Syngnathiformes, the bodies of trumpetfish are inflexible, supported by interwoven struts of bone. A distinct trait of the family is their long, tubular


title: Trumpetfish content: snouts ending with somewhat nondescript jaws. Members of the family have the capability to expand their jaws quickly into a circular, gaping hole almost to the body's diameter when feeding. Aulostomids are highly carnivorous fish. They stalk their prey by hovering almost motionlessly a few inches above the substrate, inching their way towards unsuspecting prey. Once close enough, they rapidly dart in and expand their jaws rapidly. Opening their tube-like mouths in quick succession creates a strong suction force, which draws prey straight into the mouth. Aulostomids are known to feed almost exclusively on small, schooling reef fishes. While they

title: Unstart content: definition, unstart is the supersonic choking phenomenon that occurs in ducts with an upstream mass flow greater than the downstream mass flow. Unsteady flow results as the mismatch in massflow can not gradually propagate upstream in contrast to subsonic flow. Instead, in supersonic flow, the mismatch is carried forward behind a 'normal' or terminal shock wave that abruptly causes the gas flow to become subsonic. The resulting normal shock wave then propagates upstream at an effective acoustic velocity until the flow mismatch reaches equilibrium. There are other ways of conceptualizing unstart which can be helpful. Unstart can be alternatively thought
