This man’s wife was one of the few victims of a failed mass poisoning with arsenic-laced bread that aimed to bring down his government, the 1857 Esing Bakery incident. Jeremy Bentham died in the arms of this disciple of his, who was often critiqued by Karl Marx for his proclamation that “Jesus Christ is free trade and free trade is Jesus Christ.” This man negotiated with a father-and-son pair of ministers from the Persian Bunnag family to create a successor to the Burney Treaty. As the fourth governor of Hong Kong, this man and his envoy Harry Parkes used the Arrow incident as a pretext to shell Canton, kicking off the Second Opium War. This diplomat secured extraterritoriality and “most favored nation” status for Britain in a Treaty of Friendship and Commerce that was signed during Mongkut’s reign. For 10 points, what British political economist’s namesake treaty “opened” Thailand?

Michael Marissen called a rococo trio sonata on this theme for traverso, violin, and continuo “anti-galant.” Muted trombone begins and poco rubato horn and trumpet complete this theme via Klangfarbenmelodie in a chamber orchestra arrangement by Webern, who called it “unapproachable.” A very early piano piece on this theme that Schoenberg and Charles Rosen called a “miracle” was composed after a 1747 visit to Potsdam to try new fortepianos. This subject chromatically descends from G to low G after a rising C minor triad and leap from A-flat to low B. A canon perpetuus on this theme notated with extra clefs is one of ten unsolved riddles gifted to an amateur flutist with a title page whose acrostic puns on a Latin word for “seek.” A Prussian king challenged a composer to improvise a six-voice ricercar on this theme, which underlies a palindromic crab canon. For 10 points, what theme by Frederick the Great inspired the contrapuntal BWV 1079 and Gödel, Escher, Bach?

As a man in this novel hides in a flower garden, he becomes madly jealous after the protagonist tells her husband she’s in love with a man she refuses to name, not realizing she means him. In a sexually-coded scene in this novel, the protagonist and her lover flirt gleefully while forging a letter, resulting in a very bad fake that fails to convince the Queen and ends her affair with the protagonist’s uncle. Nancy Mitford’s introduction to her translation of this novel chronicles its author’s time with court ladies like Henrietta of England. This anonymously-published novel was likely revised by Rochefoucauld, its author’s lover. At this novel’s end, its protagonist chooses not to marry the Duke de Nemours after meeting him at Henry II’s court. For 10 points, name this novel about Mademoiselle de Chartres, which is often called France’s first modern novel and is attributed to Madame de La Fayette.

This scholar posited “antistate statism” as the ideology underlying the collapse of welfare and growth of the third sector. In one book, this scholar argued that the state makes inequality acceptable through the interaction of “welfare-warfare” and “surplus state capacity.” This scholar began and ended that book with short descriptions of buses carrying political activists. With Rose Braz and Angela Davis, this scholar co-founded Critical Resistance. Riffing on Foucault, this scholar called one region of America an “archipelago of concrete and steel cages.” This scholar distinguished decarceration from the end of prisons in the book Abolition Geography. This scholar is best-known for a 2007 book on the prison-industrial complex in California. For 10 points, what prison abolitionist and pioneer of carceral geography wrote Golden Gulag?

The mobster who bails the protagonist of Shantaram out of prison is based on a don of this ethnicity whose gang killed Dawood Ibrahim’s brother. A pacifist “red-shirted” movement of this ethnicity opposed the partition of India under the leadership of an activist nicknamed the “Sarhadi,” or “Frontier” Gandhi. A Rabindranath Tagore story about a fruit seller depicts Kolkata’s community of this ethnicity, who are known by a name following their nation’s capital with the suffix “wala.” This ethnicity’s largest diaspora in India inhabit Uttar Pradesh’s Rohilkhand region. This was the ethnicity of the assassin who killed Viceroy of India Lord Mayo, Sher Ali Afridi. This ethnicity addressed the partition with a 1947 loya jirga. The Indian street snack chapli kebabs originate from this ethnicity’s Peshawari cuisine. For 10 points, name this dominant tribal ethnic group of Afghanistan.

This is the city most associated with artisans called “little mesters.” In 1743, Thomas Boulsover discovered that copper could be fused with silver to produce a material now called “old [this city] plate.” Because he first synthesized it in this city in 1882, mangalloy is sometimes named for Robert Hadfield. In 1867, locations in this city like Sandygate hosted a competition that used a set of guidelines called this city’s “rules.” In the 1740s, Benjamin Huntsman helped establish this city’s primary industry by inventing the crucible process. This city’s working class citizens are the subjects of the films Threads and The Full Monty. In 1857, a solicitor for a silver company co-founded the world’s oldest football club in this city. A 1913 discovery by Harry Brearley enabled this home city of Henry Bessemer to produce stainless cutlery. For 10 points, name this “Steel City” in Yorkshire.

To solve indeterminate equations, Gauss introduced special bracket notation for approximating these expressions. When the private key in RSA is small, it can be exposed using these expressions in Wiener’s attack. The limit of these expressions’ geometric means almost always converges to Khinchin’s constant. A bijection between quadratic surds and the periodic class of these expressions is given by Minkowski’s question-mark function. Loch’s theorem produces asymptotics for these expressions’ convergents, which are subject to Legendre’s theorem in Diophantine approximation. It’s not a decimal expansion, but while there are two of these expressions for every rational number, every irrational number can be written uniquely as an infinite one of these expressions. For 10 points, name these sequences that express a real number in terms of an infinite iteration of sums and reciprocals.

A man with this job is hauled before a king on heresy charges, where he launches into a warning about girdle-wearing followers of Typhon being defeated by the god Agathos Daimon. Suntrobus, Smaragus, and three other daimones plagued ancient Greeks with this job. This job names an ex eventu oracle text in the tradition of The Admonition of Ipuwer from Hellenistic Egypt. This job’s main tool was installed at the Temple of Esna in an annual festival accompanied by a hymn to a god also invoked on the Famine Stela. A former quarter for people with this job was home to the Sacred Gate used during the procession to Eleusis, as well as ancient Athens’s main cemetery. A god performed this job to create people, whom his frog goddess consort Heqet then gave the breath of life, at his home on Elephantine Island. For 10 points, the Nile god Khnum was often depicted using what job’s “kick” wheels?

It’s not Amharic, but the term for double meanings in this language’s poetry is analogized to “putting feather on our words” in Brandy McDougall’s books. A poet of many “name songs” in this language wrote a poem addressed to a lawn sprinkler while under house arrest. Slam poet Jamaica Osorio titled her most famous piece after this language’s “creation chant,” whose 16 “eras” begin with the “slime which established the earth,” proceed through fish and birds, and end with a royal genealogy. This language’s word for sugar cane and the Japanese word for song, bushi, name a folk genre collected by Harry Urata. The epic Kumulipo was translated from this language by a 19th-century monarch whose prolific output as a composer and poet in this language includes a song that repeats “Farewell to thee, farewell to thee.” For 10 points, name this language used by Lili‘uokalani.

To correct data gathered from this process, the ASTM recommends using the Dickinson extrapolation method over the Regnault–Pfaundler method. This process is used to remove organic material in a “wet” method that uses perchloric and nitric acids, or a “dry” method performed in a “muffle” instrument. This process is done within a controlled jacket in model 6200 and 6400 isoperibol instruments. To calibrate this process, the Parr Instrument Company sells one gram pellets of benzoic acid. This process leads to rapid changes in sample mass in evolved gas analysis methods such as TGA. The composition of a sample is determined by undergoing this process, followed by gas chromatography, in CHNS/O analysis. This process is done to completion in a crucible in ashing. For 10 points, name this exothermic process whose internal energy change is measured in bomb calorimetry.

For the Walker Art Center, an artist with this surname created an “environmental space” that required viewers to crouch through a black hallway to enter a room dimly lit by green neon lights. A publishing imprint with this name used jagged, colorful covers designed by John Constable with inspiration from the op art of Oliver Bevan for its pocket guides to “Modern Masters.” An artist with this surname created 33 rough, bronze spheres for the series Nature. This is the surname of a painter who depicted a hairy daughter of Petrus Gonsalvus. An artist with this surname gave titles like Buchi and Tagli to the series of slashed canvases he made as the founder of Spatialism. A mannerist with this surname was trained by her father Prospero in Bologna. For 10 points, give this surname of the Italian artist Lucio and Europe’s first female professional artist, Lavinia.

This person held a namesake series of illegal price-fixing “dinners” in New York. Stalin’s plan to “catch and overtake” a place named for this American is documented in a Stephen Kotkin book. This man ineffectively tried to end convict leasing in the Alabama mines he acquired as chairman of a company that merged with TCI to stave off the Panic of 1907. This man names a platoon-based “plan” for “work-study-play” education created by John Dewey’s disciple William Wirt. This former judge’s “federal” company became part of a firm helmed by Charles Schwab after a 1901 merger planned by J. P. Morgan. The Jackson 5’s first record label was based in a “city of the century” named for this man, which inspired the Soviet city of Magnitogorsk before becoming a classic example of urban decay in the Rust Belt. For 10 points, what co-founder of U.S. Steel names a city in northwest Indiana?

In a play set in one of these places, a man uses Paul Éluard and Tintin to explain a description given by someone from Shepherd’s Bush. A word for this sort of place titles a play in which a duchess is among several characters who have tufts of hair fall off while sleeping. Chiwetel Ejiofor debuted the role of Chris in a play set in one of these places that is titled for his description of a bowl of fruit, Joe Penhall’s Blue/Orange. A word for this sort of place titles a play in which Jesus, Queen Victoria, and Patrice Lumumba all appear in Sarah’s apartment, by the Black Arts writer Adrienne Kennedy. While being led to one of these places at the end of a play, a woman is handed a paper lantern and tells a man that “whoever you are – I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” For 10 points, name this type of place where Blanche goes at the end of A Streetcar Named Desire.

One instance of this operation is set equal to “negative one times the interaction Hamiltonian” to transform a system into a dressed ground state in the Schrieffer–Wolff transformation. Hadamard’s lemma, which expresses “e-to-the-B times A times e-to-the-negative-B” in terms of a series of this operation, is a special case of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula. The time evolution of operators in the Heisenberg picture is given by an instance of this operation containing the Hamiltonian. The expectation of “one over 2 i times an instance of this operation” all squared appears in the generalized uncertainty principle. Two variables are canonically conjugate if applying this operation to them yields “i times h-bar.” For 10 points, name this operation that takes “A and B” and returns “A times B minus B times A.”

The theory that this movement was an “antidote for Jacobinism” is known as the “Halévy thesis.” This movement is lambasted as a “ritualized form of psychic masturbation” that upheld the status quo by creating a “chiliasm of despair” in E. P. Thompson’s The Making of the English Working Class. In Wales, this movement was based in Howell Harris’s hometown of Trefeca, where it inspired “jumpers” and was sponsored by Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. “Connexions,” or offshoots, of this movement included the Kilhamites. This movement’s use of watch nights, love feasts, band meetings, and itinerant female preachers like Sarah Crosby helped it win popularity in 18th-century rural Britain, as fictionalized by George Eliot in Adam Bede. For 10 points, the Holy Club spawned what evangelical movement led by the hymnist Charles and his brother John Wesley?

The central concept of this school of philosophy is defined as “that which is manifest in itself and manifests others.” John Walbridge criticized Henry Corbin for calling this school a “theosophy” in his translation of its core text. This school posited a “world of images” in which souls reside before transmigrating. As leader of a Zoroastrian offshoot of this school, Azar Kayvan composed a set of Ordinances in an invented “heavenly language.” The founder of this school of thought had a “dream-vision” in which Aristotle gave him the doctrine of knowledge by presence. Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi wrote a commentary on this school, which began as a critique of Avicenna’s Peripateticism. The founder of this school was executed in Aleppo by Saladin’s son. Mulla Sadra was a “master” of this school founded by Suhrawardi. For 10 points, what Persian school of thought called God the “Light of Lights?”

While debating how long they have been engaging in this activity, a woman tells an aspiring clergyman, “Oh! Do not attack me with your watch.” A character’s love of this activity, which her rivals attribute to “conceited independence, a most country-town indifference to decorum,” is analyzed in a nonfiction book in a chapter titled for that character’s petticoat. A writer’s disregard of the Napoleonic wars is contrasted with her acceptance of the “cult of landscape” in a book on the “history of” this activity by Rebecca Solnit. Miss Hurst cattily says Elizabeth, “has nothing, in short, to recommend her but” her excellence at this activity, which Darcy says has “brightened” her “fine eyes” when she does it after Jane suddenly falls ill. For 10 points, Marianne is caught by a rainstorm while doing what activity favored by Jane Austen’s more free-spirited “genteel country ladies,” the subject of Solnit’s Wanderlust?

Rabbi Joshua told one of these people that bodily resurrection occurs via the almond-shaped luz bone. In the Talmud, these people include a ghost who inspires his nephew to write the Targum Onkelos and the convert ancestor of Rabbi Meir. After arriving in a coffin, Yochanan ben Zakkai prophesied that his host would become one of these people and requested him to “give me Yavneh and its sages.” One of these people indirectly names the standard system of niqqud diacritics, since a city named for him was home to scribes who used stringent error detection methods to create the Masoretic Text. The phrase “may his bones be crushed” follows Talmudic mentions of one of these people who executed the Ten Martyrs. Jews may avoid walking under a structure named for one of them that features a relief of a captured menorah. For 10 points, name these rulers whose forces suppressed the Bar Kokhba revolt and destroyed the Second Temple.

This was the main language of a jazz pop musician whose signature song calls his home city “a thousand colors, a thousand fears.” It’s not Spanish, but a quirky Guinness ad popularized Pérez Prado’s mambo version of a song in this language whose title means “boy” or “urchin.” A song in this language about an “evil woman” was first written on a cigarette pack by a comedian known by the mononym Totò. A 1956 song in this language uses English phrases like “I love you,” “whiskey,” “soda,” and “rock ’n’ roll” to satirize its speakers as wannabe Americans. Elvis’s single “It’s Now or Never” was based on a song in this language whose title means “my sunshine.” Richard Strauss’s first tone poem accidentally plagiarized a song in this language that celebrates a cable railway on a volcano. For 10 points, name this language used in “Funiculì, Funiculà,” “’O Sole Mio,” and other songs from Campania.

The apical side of this tissue contains Kolmer cells, a class of unique tissue-resident macrophages. “Strap junctions” join adjacent cells early in this tissue’s development, which follows the 4-stage Netsky model and is heavily dependent on glycogen accumulation. It isn’t in the thyroid or the liver, but epithelial cells in this tissue produce the thyroxine transport protein, transthyretin. A class of secretory cells in this tissue pass their output through the foramen of Monro. Aquaporins lining epithelial cells in this tissue provide convective input into the glymphatic system. This tissue is lined with a class of ciliated, simple columnar cells that secrete roughly 500 milliliters of fluid daily into the lateral ventricles, which are called ependymal cells. For 10 points, name this specialized network of capillaries and secretory cells that make new cerebrospinal fluid.

Bouchaud et al. proposed a hyperbolic differential equation to describe the stress distribution in one of these materials, whose characteristic curves can be interpreted as “force chains.” An early model of these materials that displays a pressure less than “rho g h” at the base of a cylinder is named after Janssen. Manna names a model of these materials whose sites “topple” when they hold two particles, an example of the “Abelian” models of these materials that display self-organized criticality. These materials’ velocity becomes non-zero in a density-dependent jamming transition. Reynolds described these materials’ change in volume under a shear stress, known as dilitancy. These materials may have a bistable angle of repose due to stabilization by internal Coulomb friction. For 10 points, in the Brazil nut effect, convection affects what materials composed of many large particles?

This man uses his “vigorous warmth” to scatter “his Maker’s image” in the opening lines of a satirical poem set before “priest-craft did begin” and “before polygamy was made a sin.” A poem attributed to this man was expanded into the first English sonnet sequence, a “meditation” by Anne Locke. In Renaissance Self-Fashioning, Stephen Greenblatt notes that a cycle by Thomas Wyatt may make a veiled comparison between this man and Henry VIII, since Wyatt could not safely say to Henry, “Thou art the man.” Pietro Aretino’s paraphrase of a set of “penitential” poems attributed to this man influenced Tudor poets. In the King James Version, this man tells Nathan that a thief who steals a ewe lamb “shall surely die,” not realizing he is judging himself. For 10 points, what king appears in John Dryden’s Absalom and Achitophel, and was thought to have sought forgiveness for seducing Bathsheba in his Psalms?
|
David [prompt on the author of the Psalms until “Psalms” is read or the Penitential Sinner until “penitential” is read by asking “who was traditionally credited with writing those poems?”; prompt on Charles II until “sonnet” is read by asking “who is the actual character in the poem?”]

In a paper on a new avenue for philosophy, this thinker distinguished the title relation from mere liking because it involves “identifying” with a subject and is “inherently prospective.” In one paper, this thinker noted that “my Jolly Roger is now unfurled” in a footnote admitting the boldness of not analyzing the term “morally responsible.” This philosopher complained that focusing on “what to believe” and “how to behave” means neglecting “The Importance of What We Care About.” This philosopher proposed a thought experiment in which, at the last moment, Black prevents Jones from acting in accordance with his will, thereby refuting the principle of alternative possibilities. This philosopher discussed “humbug” and “lying” in a book about “lack of respect for the truth.” This philosopher supported compatibilism with his namesake “cases.” For 10 points, name this philosopher who wrote the book On Bullshit.

The creation of a Guianese colony for this duchy was the aim of the Thornton expedition. This duchy signed secret anti-Ottoman treaties with the celali Ali Janbulad and the Druze emir Fakhr al-Din, who then had to flee to its capital. A science patron from this duchy, Christina of Lorraine, was the addressee of a letter reconciling Copernicanism and scripture. An enlightened despot from this duchy sponsored a Febronian church reform at the Synod of Pistoia and made it the first state to abolish the death penalty in 1787. France gave Spain territory in this duchy in exchange for Louisiana in the Third Treaty of San Ildefonso. This duchy was ruled by Ferdinando I and by Joseph II’s brother, Leopold I. This duchy home to Galileo became “grand” when it replaced a state named for its capital under Cosimo I. For 10 points, name this Italian duchy once ruled by the Medicis from Florence.

Rachmaninoff’s fast recording of this sonata’s third movement grows to a roar that, after a tranquil trio, resumes at a roar then recedes. A final fortissimo is the only dynamic in this sonata’s presto, whose single line drifts up and down in unpedaled sotto voce e legato triplet 8th notes “gossiping in unison.” Some editions lack a repeat sign between this sonata’s 4-bar grave introduction and doppio movimento. This sonata’s 1½-minute perpetuum mobile finale was called the first atonal piece by Ligeti, “wind howling around graves” by Arthur Rubinstein, and sphinxlike by Schumann, who derided the composer’s discomfort with form and said this sonata “bound together his four unruliest children.” Its third movement, inspired by Beethoven’s 12th, is a morbid cortège in B-flat minor. For 10 points, what middle piano sonata written at George Sand’s house contains a march that was played at the composer’s own funeral?

This reaction occurs twice between a cuprate and an 8-membered enone ring in a total synthesis that starts with serine, whose namesake also modified this reaction. This reaction is the most common mechanism by which acrolein reacts with thiol groups on amino acids. An asymmetric example of this reaction attacks with 4-hydroxycoumarin to synthesize the anticoagulant Warfarin. Both the carbanion “donor” and the alkene “acceptor” of this reaction are stabilized by resonance and contain one or more electron withdrawing groups. It’s not the aldol reaction, but a titanium tetrachloride catalyst is used with a silyl enol ether in this reaction’s Mukaiyama variant. This reaction has a similar mechanism to the Stork enamine reaction. This reaction begins the Robinson annulation. For 10 points, an enolate is joined to an alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl by what 1,4-addition reaction?

In a chapter of Trout Fishing in America titled for this body of water, the narrator recalls discussing plans for a flea circus with his wino friends. A book set on this body of water inspired the title of a novel by William Melvyn Kelly in which Tucker Caliban leads an exodus of Black farmers. A narrator who lost a “hound, a bay horse, and a turtle-dove” before coming to this body of water compares the whistle of nearby trains to the “scream of a hawk.” Selin and Ivan swim in this American body in Elif Batuman’s The Idiot. An illiterate Canadian woodchopper who is “as bottomless as” this body visits it in a book that notes, “if a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.” The narrator of a book titled for this body of water watches a battle between red and black ants. For 10 points, name this body of water in Concord that titles a memoir by Henry David Thoreau.

A poem by al-Ḥallāj reports using the “eye” of one of these objects to see Allah, who answers his question “who are you?” by saying “you.” A hadith holds that dhikr polishes the “rust” of these objects, which can be shiny, tied with a knot, turned upside down, or wrapped. This sort of object names the “weakest” of three ways to fulfill the duty of ḥisbah, or “enjoining right and forbidding wrong.” A tiny black spot was removed from one of these objects by a pair of figures carrying a jug and a platter of snow while its owner lived with his foster-mother Halima. The Quran exclusively uses the verb ṭaba‘a to denote how Allah “seals” these objects. One of these objects belonging to Muhammad was “washed” by the angel Jibreel. These objects, called qalb in Arabic, name a personal form of jihad. For 10 points, the scriptures of the Abrahamic religions refer to the metaphorical “hardening” of what organs?

Two pieces of boxwood on ivory hinges from this archaeological site predate similar “books” from Nimrud and were compared by George Bass to Homer’s description of a “folding tablet” with “baneful signs” carried by Bellerophon. An early example of the mortise-and-tenon design was found at this site, predating Kyrenia by almost a thousand years. A scarab inscribed with Nefertiti’s name helped date this site, whose other finds include logs of African blackwood and dozens of jars filled with pistacia terebinth resin. This site superseded the importance of a similar find at Cape Gelidonya. Reports of “metal biscuits with ears” at this site led researchers to document its Cypriot oxhide ingots. This site’s likely Mycenaean cargo was first discovered by sponge-divers. For 10 points, what key archaeological site of the Late Bronze Age is a shipwreck off the coast of Turkey?

This event grew out of the “putting the baby down” strategy according to Dean Falk. A proliferation of books on this event, like Ernest Renan’s, led the SLP to ban all discussion of it in 1866. Naïve theories of this event were given mocking names like pooh-pooh, yo-he-ho, bow-wow, and ding-dong by Max Müller. A book titled for this event by Merritt Ruhlen uses “multilateral comparison” to speculate about its first results in a discredited extreme of the tendency of “lumpers” versus “splitters.” Robin Dunbar suggests that this event made “manual grooming” obsolete as a bonding mechanism. A just-so story that connects this event to mimicry of animals like sheep is offered in J. G. Herder’s treatise titled for it, which is often collected with Jean Jacques Rousseau’s. For 10 points, what event around 300,000 years ago saw humans gain a unique symbolic ability?

This process lowers the accuracy of the so-called Bootstrap algorithm that leverages dynamic tie points to cluster data plotted using 19V, 37H, and 37V channels. This process leads to “downwasting” that is often imaged using cyanotypes. A substance partially named for this process forms the upper interface of “false bottoms.” This process directly leads to the formation of cryoconite holes due to accumulation of particulates like soot. Resistance to this process differentiates the multiyear form of a certain substance from its first-year form. This process, which lowers albedo as it occurs, is the primary ablation process in “land-terminating” features. This process leads to the formation of namesake ponds during an annual cycle that alternates with the freeze cycle. For 10 points, name this physical process that leads to a rise in sea levels when it happens to glaciers.

In this series, a shipping clerk buys easily rippable tights for a women’s wrestling league that he tries to start to “save” Ilona from a knife-throwing act. In this series, a Bible study session formatted as a play script ends with men singing “Lord God of Sabaoth,” part of a Salvation Army motif that includes verse chapters about the girl Marie. The last part of this series contains many chapters reflecting on the role of “private theologies” in a 500-year-long process called the “disintegration of values.” Milan Kundera’s essays often praised this “polyphonic” series, in which Eduard von Bertrand’s homosexuality is exposed by Esch, who is later bayoneted by the deserter Huguenau. Lieutenant Joachim von Pasenow is the title “Romantic” of the first part of this series, which proceeds to parts on the “Anarchist” and the “Realist.” For 10 points, name this modernist trilogy by Hermann Broch.

A word from this language titled a Waldo Frank-influenced journal edited by members of the North Group. The oppression of speakers of this language by gamonalism was attacked in the essays of a wheelchair-using Marxist who was nicknamed for its word for “teacher.” This language provides the grammar of the “Half Language” spoken in a country where a neologism in this language for the “good way of living” was codified with the “rights of nature” in a 2008 constitution. The MUPP-NP party’s common name is a word in this language that’s gained popularity with indigenists for its connotation of “world reversal.” During the “time of fear,” speakers of this language were targeted by Sinchi paratroopers, the Chuschi ballot burning, and the Lucanamarca massacre perpetrated by Abimael Guzmán’s forces. For 10 points, the word pachakutik comes from what indigenous language of Ecuador and Peru?

While demonstrating one of these objects, an employee of William Penny nicknamed “Bobbie” fell ill in Aberdeen. John Brand documented 18th-century sightings of these objects in Scotland, where they were believed to belong to “Finnmen.” Pilots of these objects made tactile use of three-dimensional maps carved from driftwood that are celebrated in Bill Buxton’s book Sketching User Experiences. Users of these objects experience dizziness and panic in a culture-bound syndrome called their “angst.” “C-to-C” and “sweep” are methods for “rolling” these boats. In most versions of a myth, a disguised stormy petrel uses one of these boats to carry off a future sea goddess, who later clings to one of these boats belonging to her father until he cuts her fingers off. For 10 points, oiled sealskin was often used to make Inuit examples of what narrow, closed-top boats propelled by double-sided paddles?

In a June festival held in this region since 1992, dancers with scarecrow clappers lift and tug in a style developed at a school. A onetime forestry officer from this region used its ritual music in his primitivistic Sinfonia Tapkaara, scored 300 films, and won his mentor Tcherepnin’s award with an orchestral Rhapsody. In an edgier style pioneered in this region by the blind street musician Nitabo, a flared tortoiseshell plectrum is struck on the dogskin drum of a thicker-necked lute with 3 large pegs that is tuned while playing jongara. This region’s Yosakoi Soran Festival chants a call-and-response dokkoisho sea shanty by Takio Itō. Bukimisha sings a cappella renditions of the Godzilla score by a composer from this region, Akira Ifukube. The Yoshida Brothers’ percussive shredding exemplifies a shamisen style named for a peninsula in this region. For 10 points, name this region where upopo songs and yukar epics were sung in Ainu.

One of these proteins binds the scaffold protein MNAR and is co-activated by each of the three p160 proteins, such as SRC-1. Mutations in one of these proteins between residues 536 and 538 in helix 12 disrupt its binding domain and are particularly oncogenic. The presence of one of these proteins differentiates the cell line MCF7 from MCF10A. A G525R mutant of one of these proteins, which is sensitive to the metabolite 4-OHT, is commonly used to study embryonic-lethal genes since their expression can be controlled by administration of tamoxifen, which targets these proteins. The nuclear and membrane variants of these proteins each bind all four isoforms of their primary ligand, which are distinguished by their one to four hydroxyl groups. For 10 points, name these proteins that with HER2 and the progesterone receptor are commonly used to delineate breast cancer severity.

This concept titles a book that analyzes Disney’s plans for a slavery-themed park and ends with a crowd throwing a statue of Columbus into the sea. Van Wyck Brooks wrote that this concept’s “inexhaustible storehouse of apt attitudes” makes it “usable.” An emotion aimed at this concept is instead paired with this concept’s opposite in the title of a 2001 Svetlana Boym book. Building on William James, Carl Becker argued that we “rob” this concept to create its successor’s “specious” form. The “silencing” of this concept was studied by Michel-Rolph Trouillot. Barack Obama’s “A More Perfect Union” speech paraphrased a remark about this concept from Requiem for a Nun. The first sentence of L. P. Hartley’s The Go-Between calls this concept a “foreign country” where “they do things differently.” For 10 points, name this concept that William Faulkner wrote is “never dead. It’s not even” this concept.

the past [or pastness; accept Silencing the Past or usable past] (The Boym book is The Future of Nostalgia. Carl Becker’s remark on “robbing the past” to create the “specious present” appears in “Everyman his Own Historian.”)

In a short story set in this city, Philemon humiliates his adulterous wife Matilda by forcing her to treat the suit that her lover left behind like a real person. A baboon terrorizes this city in the story “Something Out There.” Langston Hughes was a pen pal of many writers for this city’s Drum magazine, such as an actor nicknamed “Bloke,” a journalist who composed a jazz opera about the boxer King Kong, and the novelist of Mating Birds. In a story set in this city, a golfer watches an old man collapse while carrying what he thought was his son’s coffin. An author from a suburb of this city outlined “How [her country’s] Censorship Works” in an essay whose title asks, “What Happened to” one of her novels. That author, who was part of this city’s Sophiatown Renaissance, wrote the short story “Six Feet of the Country.” For 10 points, name this city home to the author of Burger’s Daughter, Nadine Gordimer.
|
Johannesburg [or Joburg; accept Sophiatown until read, but prompt afterwards; prompt on Springs] (The short story in the first line is “The Suit” by Can Themba. The Drum writers are Bloke Modisane, Lewis Nkosi, and Todd Matshikiza.)

One of these substances, like the telegraph, gastric physiology, and Lake Superior’s copper deposits, was the subject of a priority claim by C. T. Jackson. A monument celebrating these substances depicts a generic turban-clad “Good Samaritan.” These substances revealed the “gist of philosophy” to Benjamin Blood. Oliver Wendell Holmes coined the word for these substances after a demonstration at which John Collins Warren declared “Gentlemen! This is no humbug.” 19th-century hopes for a “unitary hypothesis” of these substances led to the Meyer–Overton correlation of their efficacy with solubility in olive oil. A “dome” in Boston celebrates William Morton’s work with these substances, which grew in popularity after John Snow administered one to Queen Victoria during childbirth. For 10 points, 19th-century doctors used ether and chloroform as what substances?
|
anesthetics [or word forms of anesthesia; accept ethers, chloroform, nitrous oxide, or laughing gases until read; accept local, regional, or general anesthesia; accept Ether Monument or Ether Dome until “ether” is read; accept The Anaesthetic Revelation: and the Gist of Philosophy; prompt on drugs or gases]

A reclining figure in a lost painting by this artist was repurposed as the subject of a lamentation this artist painted for the Bichi Chapel. A corridor dedicated to this artist connects the house and library at Harvard’s Villa I Tatti. The only artwork in the Sistine Chapel attributed to this artist was executed with Bartolomeo della Gatta and shows the Testament and Death of Moses. The presence of a laurel tree confirms that this artist’s lost masterpiece, The Education of Pan, was created for Lorenzo de’ Medici. Sigmund Freud failed to recall the name of this artist in the first example of parapraxis. This artist was hired to complete a fresco cycle begun by Fra Angelico for the San Brizio Chapel. This student of Piero della Francesca showed the devil whispering into the ear of the Antichrist. For 10 points, name this artist from Cortona who created huge frescoes of the Last Judgment for the Orvieto Cathedral.

Music theorists from this modern-day country notated dynamics in a 16-column table and drew tunings as concentric arcs in the influential treatise Book of Modes. Loris Tjeknavorian wrote an opera with Orff’s help based on an epic from this country and scored a film starring the singer Googoosh. A musicologist from this modern-day country designed the sori and koron, shaped like an angular P and pilcrow, when introducing Western notation and quarter-tone accidentals in the early 20th century. A 5-part suite’s free improvisation, tasnif, and rhythmic reng are based on modes like Shur and Dashti, two of the 12 avaz and dastgah associated with gusheh melodies collectively called this country’s radif. This modern-day country originated the double-bowled tar lute, santur dulcimer, and kamancheh fiddle. For 10 points, the reformer Ali-Naqi Vaziri and traditionalist Nur-Ali Borumand are from what country that outlawed Western music after an Islamic Revolution?

An essay contrasts the “immunity” felt by Trollope and Austen with this event’s intrusion into the writer’s daily lives, and wonders if this event will end the classism of the title “Leaning Tower.” Concerns about this event inspired a three-years-late reply to a letter “perhaps unique in the history of human correspondence” because it’s from an educated man asking a woman’s opinion. An essay about this event asks how we can free young Englishmen “from the machine” and ends by quoting Thomas Browne’s “half-forgotten” remark that “the huntsmen are up in America.” The leadup to this event inspired Three Guineas. This event led to the relocation of Hogarth Press when the Woolfs’ home in Mecklenburgh Square was destroyed. For 10 points, Virginia Woolf’s suicide is often attributed to despair brought by what event that inspired “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid?”

On the appeal of the freedman Louis Napoleon, a member of this family won the freedom of eight slaves in the 1852 “Lemmon Slave Case.” This family included William, the conservative abolitionist author of Condition of the Free People of Color, and his father, who founded the African Free School as the first president of the New York Manumission Society. A member of this family signed the 1799 Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery as Governor of New York and outraged Southern states with his unratified treaty with Diego de Gardoqui. A judge from this family argued that citizens could sue a state in his majority opinion for Chisholm v. Georgia. Alexander Hamilton misattributed James Madison’s argument for the Three-fifths Compromise in Federalist 54 to a member of this family, the third author of the papers. For 10 points, name this family of the first Chief Justice.

An equivalence denoted by this adjective in which two actors have the same ties is, along with automorphic and regular equivalence, a standard notion of similarity in networks. The CUSUM and Chow tests can be used to identify this type of “break” in a time series. Vector autoregressions denoted by this adjective have uncorrelated errors but relate contemporaneous variables, unlike reduced-form VARs. Ronald Burt theorized that “brokers” who exploit “holes” denoted by this adjective can accrue social capital. Broadly, econometric models denoted by this adjective relate exogenous and endogenous variables via “deep” parameters and, like simultaneous equation models, are abbreviated SEMs. For 10 points, what adjective appears first in a two-word sociological framework that emphasizes societal complexity, in which it precedes “functionalism”?

This is the heaviest element for which a solid trimethyl source is used to react it with group V materials in the MOVPE process. A lab at Oregon discovered a pigment in which this element and yttrium help expose the intense blue color of plus-3 manganese ions. The most common sources for this high-demand p-block element are leaching from zinc sulfide ores and recovery after its most notable compound is etched onto glass and wafers. This is the second of four elements in the name of a flexible semiconductor that competes with amorphous silicon and cadmium telluride for use in thin-film solar cells. Aluminum-doped zinc oxide is a cheaper alternative to a compound containing this metal and tin that is deposited to create transparent conducting films. This metal is named for the blue-violet line in its spectrum. For 10 points, name this metal found in LCDs as its tin oxide.

A poem about the defeat of this mythical figure was argued to be the source of the Iliad in Wolfgang Schadewaldt’s neoanalysis. This mythical figure was the namesake of the rhetorician Herodes Atticus’s adopted child, as well as the addressee of three epigrams carved by Julia Balbilla. This figure’s early appearances as a king of Susa are detailed in a Frank M. Snowden book. In the Metamorphoses, a flock of birds annually reenacts this figure’s death after rising from the ashes of his funeral pyre. Roman tourists flocked to a statue named for this figure that would “sing” when struck by the rising sun’s rays. This son of Eos and Tithonus kills Nestor’s son Antilochus after arriving at Troy with his massive army in the Posthomerica. For 10 points, name this Ethiopian king to whom the ancients attributed Amenhotep III’s “colossi.”

A woman with this name was said to be the Prophecy of Merlin’s “eagle of the broken covenant” that “shall rejoice in her third nesting.” A woman with this name was pelted with rotten eggs by Londoners who hated her court faction of Savoyard relatives. A woman of this name wrapped Guinevere’s bones in an elaborate reburial and supposedly sucked poison from the knife wound her husband received from an assassin sent by the Emir of Jaffa. A queen of this name added to her massive land holdings via her husband’s expulsion of the Jews and is memorialized at Giddesford by one of her namesake crosses. Edward I’s Provençal mother and Castilian wife both had this first name. A queen of this name added Gascony to the Angevin empire by marrying a man called FitzEmpress, then supported her son, the Young King, in a revolt against him. For 10 points, give this name of Henry II’s wife from Aquitaine.

In a poem in this form, Master Improbable, Lord No-Such, and Sir Vacuous debate the merits of their realms’ hunting parks. A critical work on this form, which is itself titled for and written in this form, has been translated as Essay on Literature and The Art of Writing, and inspired Gary Snyder with its notion that “the model is indeed near at hand” when using an ax to carve an ax-handle. Sīmǎ Xiāngrú was a master of this “epideictic” form, which typically presented descriptions of places or objects and were recited rather than sung. This form is variously translated as “poetic exposition,” “prose-poem,” and “rhapsody.” This dominant poetic form of the Han Dynasty is a homonym in English with the given name of the poet of “Spring View,” who suggested it was better to have daughters than sons who will be “buried amid the grass.” For 10 points, identify this given name of the poet of “Ballad of The Army Carts.”

This artist said of Peru, “the desert is more desert” and called Inca stonework “the finest thing I saw from the hand of man” on a trip that also produced a painting of Machu Picchu in “the morning light.” It’s not Joseph Cornell, but this artist wrote a letter to a young Yayoi Kusama that gave her the confidence to move to New York. This artist received an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii for an ad campaign but produced no relevant paintings, forcing Dole to ship her a reference pineapple in the mail. The view from a plane inspired this painter to create a series that includes a painting at the Art Institute of Chicago that was on loan there for 10 years because it was too large to fit into the SFMOMA. This artist of the Sky Above Clouds series spent four decades at her adobe home in Abiquiú. For 10 points, name this artist who painted many massive landscapes at her summer home in Ghost Ranch.

A mixture of chloral hydrate, phenol, and mercuric chloride colors this substance blue-green or magenta in Alexander’s stain. Either the nuclear stain TTC or the dye fluorescein diacetate are used in viability assays for this substance. In vitro culture of this substance uses a “hanging drop” technique in which individual drops of boron-rich media are loaded with it and placed into a cavity slide. Auramine and calcofluor stain this substance’s exine and intine layers, respectively, which begin to form after four callose walls are degraded. The enzyme callase and the protein RAFTIN are supplied by Ubisch bodies from the tapetum to strengthen this substance. The relative location of the stomium determines if this substance undergoes “extrorse” or “introrse” dehiscence from the anther. For 10 points, the pistil receives what substance that contains male gametes?

A mass grave from a town of this group near Lake Issyk Kul is the earliest evidence of the bubonic plague. A leader of this group transcribed his debate with the Abbasid caliph al-Mahdi. While traveling with this group’s future leader Yahballaha to meet Honorius IV, a member of this group documented the Sicilian Vespers and an eruption of Etna. This religious group included the Keraite princess who led the “Toluid revolution,” Sorghaghtani Beki, her uncle Toghrul, and her niece Doquz Khatun, who got Hulagu to spare this group during the sack of Baghdad. Táng Tàizōng’s patronage of this religious group under Alopen is recorded on the Xī’ān stele. The Yuán emissary Rabban Bar Sauma was part of this group, whose prevalence led to the Prester John legends. For 10 points, name this Christian church often misleadingly named for a 5th-century heresiarch.

A Tanner Lecture series ends by noting that the author of this argument “must have been alone in his room with the Scientific World View” while writing it, since it neglects “people, and the other animals.” Jonas Olson’s four formulations of this argument are targeted by the “partners in crime” and “companions in guilt” strategies. This argument points to Samuel Clarke’s theory of “fitness” and Plato’s Forms as a “dramatic picture” of intrinsic “action-guiding” requirements. This argument, which is critiqued at the end of Christine Korsgaard’s The Sources of Normativity, rejects the existence of a “special faculty” for perceiving entities that are “utterly different from anything else in the universe.” It occupies Chapter 9 of a book that opens, “There are no objective values.” For 10 points, what argument for moral error theory from J. L. Mackie’s Ethics is named for the strangeness of moral properties?

This character laments that men can’t buy babies at temples in a misogynistic rant he delivers after bursting through a palace door. In The Clouds, Aristophanes riffed on this character’s claim that “my tongue swore but my heart remained unpledged,” a line whose sophistic immorality scandalized Athenians. In the opening scene, this hunter explains that he worships “Cypris” from “a long way off” when asked why he doesn’t lay a wreath on her altar. In that play, a nurse pleads with this title man on behalf of a woman who is trying to starve herself to death out of love for him. This character angers Aphrodite with his chaste devotion to Artemis, setting off a chain of events that ends with a monstrous bull rising from the sea to capsize his chariot. For 10 points, name this title character of a Euripides play, a son of Theseus who is falsely accused of rape by his stepmother Phaedra.

This sort of person names the geonic conferences held biannually at the Sura and Pumbedita academies. A rabbi juggles three myrtle branches in front of one of these people in a Talmudic sugya that also reports on a dispute between Shammai and Hillel over telling white lies to these people. One of these people stands perfectly still and holds one end of a gartel or handkerchief while a dancer holds the other in a ritual sometimes directed by jesters called badchen. One of these people sits surrounded by family members in the bedeken ritual and is given a coin in Syrian and Yemeni variants of the erusin. A “beloved” is told to “go to meet” one of these people who metaphorically represents the Sabbath in the song Lekha Dodi. One of these people circles a man seven times after receiving seven blessings and drinking wine with him. For 10 points, women in what role might crush a glass under a chuppah?

Angela Ballara’s work on these events denies the “fatal impact” theory, stresses continuity with events like the “fall of parrots,” and is critiqued in Cannibal Talk by Gananath Obeyesekere. A “hairy man” who helped a leader hide in a pit during these events is celebrated in a song opening “I die, I die! I live, I live!” In the Elizabeth affair, James Stewart ferried men seeking utu during these events in exchange for a cargo of flax. These events are named for the objects that Baron de Thierry sold to a Christian convert ally of Samuel Marsden who was gifted a suit of armor by George IV while touring England. The weapons used in these conflicts were obtained at whaling stations in the Bay of Islands in exchange for pigs and potatoes and necessitated new fortifications for pa villages. For 10 points, Hongi Hika led troops in what bloody, early 19th-century wars fought by Māori iwi with flintlocks?

In this multinational region, Delfino plows have been used to dig micro-catchment systems like “half-moons,” contour stone bunds, and zai pits. A group named for this region was formed after committees for the “Salvation of the People” and the “Safeguard of the Homeland” met to sign the 2023 Liptako-Gourma Charter. A December 2023 statement announced plans to dissolve this region’s G5 organization, whose conflict with groups like Ansar Dine received foreign backing in Operation Barkhane. In July 2024, a mutual defense “alliance” named for this region formed a “tri-state confederation” and promised to exit ECOWAS. Most of the countries of the “coup belt” are in this geographical region, where rainwater harvesting initiatives and the Great Green Wall have tried to curb southward-creeping desertification. For 10 points, name this semi-arid region south of the Sahara.

A class of objects similar to this object occupies the upper boundary of the radius valley, which might exist due to EUV/X-ray photoevaporation. A so-called “desert” in mass–period space is either named for this object or a larger object. Extensions to a model developed by Kleomenis Tsiganis and colleagues propose a discontinuity during this object’s migration to explain the so-called “kernel” of cold classicals. A head-on impact upon this object could explain its large thermal flux, unlike a similar object that is in equilibrium with solar insolation. The Kepler space telescope discovered that the radius of most exoplanets is between that of the Earth and that of this planet. Cubewanos belong to a broad classification of Solar System objects named for this planet. This planet is orbited by the only large moon to have a retrograde orbit. For 10 points, Voyager 2 observed the Great Dark Spot on what ice giant?

This school of thought constitutes “an essay in the comical” according to a thinker who compared it to a massive castle whose builder opts to instead live in a nearby thatched hut. The jargon of this school of thought is parodied in The Battle between the Old and the New Soap Cellars. This school was championed by a pastor who turned against it after a divine revelation that is critiqued in The Book on Adler. This school’s “assistant professors” and “Herr Professor” were criticized by a philosopher who also hated “the crowd” and “Christendom.” This school’s aphorism that “the truth is the whole” is replaced with truth as subjectivity in Concluding Unscientific Postscript by Søren Kierkegaard, who attacked it as “the system” and used its terminology in phrases like “infinite absolute negativity.” For 10 points, what school of thought split into “left” and “right” branches after the death of the author of The Philosophy of Right?

The Besford lab uses this compound often sourced from oysters to create functionalized nanoparticles. Type V enzymes break down this compound using the phosphate moiety of pyridoxal phosphate. An enzyme that breaks down this compound has an active “A” tetramer form and an inactive “B” dimer form that are found in different cell types. This compound is a more efficient carrier than tRNA or linear polyacrylamide in the ethanol precipitation of DNA. The breakdown of this compound is activated by AMP and the modification of an enzyme’s serine-14 residue by phosphorylase kinase. Hers’ disease and McArdle’s disease are among a class of disorders named for this compound’s irregular storage. This multibranched compound is synthesized by adding UDP-conjugated monomers to create alpha-1,4 and alpha-1,6 linkages. For 10 points, name this polymer of glucose found in liver and muscle cells.

In a set of poems titled for this practice, the speaker hopes for “clouds of thy sweet Vapour” to “circumcise” his eyes before asking “shall spirits thus my Mammularies Suck?” Louis Martz’s work on the “poetry of” this practice traces Edward Baxter’s influence on a collection of over 200 poems titled for this practice, such as “I am the Living Bread,” that were discovered at Yale in the 1930s. This practice titles a poem that declares, “I can’t even enjoy a blade of grass unless I know there’s a subway handy, or a record store.” A poet who wrote several essays about Edward Taylor’s “preparatory” works titled for this practice also used it to title a poem that opens, “all the new thinking is about loss.” This practice “in an Emergency” titles Frank O’Hara’s follow-up to Lunch Poems. For 10 points, a Robert Hass poem set at Lagunitas is titled for what devotional practice?

This country’s 19th-century population boom is attributed to “peace, vaccines, and potatoes.” A feminist from this country influenced Frank Lloyd Wright with her theories of “collective motherliness,” “beauty for everyone,” and the “century of the child.” In this home country of Ellen Key, 30,000 farmers supported the funding of the “F-ship” by marching to its Royal Palace Yard, kicking off the “Courtyard Crisis.” This country’s second-largest city names a “system” for limiting per capita alcohol consumption that caught on in Scottish taverns in the 1890s. This country’s “parish granaries” failed to prevent its 1867 famine, which drove peasants to “bark bread” and was a factor in the wave of emigration that brought Joe Hill to the US. This is the northeasternmost of three countries whose culture was shaped by the late 19th-century Modern Breakthrough. For 10 points, name this country ruled by Oscar II and Gustav V.

According to one artist, these items “represented” a dimension of time that he managed to enter with the Minus Objects series. Douglas Gordon replaced the eyes and mouths of Bond Girls with these objects. These objects are present in the Self Deceit photographs by Francesca Woodman. The Dallas Cowboys own one of these objects commissioned by the Nottingham Playhouse. A man in a dark suit faces away from the viewer in Standing Man, the archetypal work in a series named for these objects by Michelangelo Pistoletto. A pink ribbon is draped over one of these objects held by Cupid in a painting named for a Yorkshire estate. The installation Chandelier of Grief plays with the mise en abyme effect that can be created by these objects, an example of which was created by Anish Kapoor and named for the Sky. For 10 points, identify these objects that Yayoi Kusama placed on walls, floors, and ceilings for the Infinity Room series.

In one therapeutic system, these phenomena name a “matrix” comprising arrows and circles labeled “P,” “A,” or “C,” representing “parent,” “adult,” and “child.” These are the first title phenomena in a book that extended one of its co-author’s theories of “Conceptual Dependency” into an analysis of “Knowledge Structure.” The Transactional Analysis methodology of Eric Berne posits a form of these phenomena described by the word “life.” Alongside “Plans, Goals, and Understanding” these phenomena title an early book on AI by Schank and Abelson. These phenomena name an extension to affect theory developed by Silvan Tomkins, which focuses on sequences of actions linked by affects. Sexual crimes are more likely to be unacknowledged if they do not fit these preconceived templates for how they are expected to happen. For 10 points, name these programs for behavior that can be broken down into scenes.

Kashmiri Pandits distribute soaked walnuts on a variant of this festival called Herath. In a story about this festival, a hunter is rewarded for inadvertently honoring it by dropping leaves from a bel tree. This is the most common festival on which the Mahāmrityunjaya Mantra is recited. Pilgrims visit a set of twelve temples including Somnāth and Rameswaram during this festival, which occurs two weeks before Holi. During this festival, devotees smeared with vibhūti ash engage in night-long jāgaraṇa vigils, during which they recite the five-syllable panchākshara mantra using a japamāla of 108 rudrāksha beads. During this festival, an aniconic, rounded mūrti is given abhisheka as part of linga pūjā to commemorate the anniversary of its central deity dancing the tāṇḍava, drinking halāhala, and marrying Pārvatī. For 10 points, name this “Great Night” of Hinduism’s god of destruction.

Since its 2005 FDA approval, a prodrug that competes with one of these compounds has been added to chemotherapy regimens to noticeably increase survival from T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. NBMPR inhibits a bidirectional transporter of these compounds, a family of which, exemplified by SLC28, uses a sodium gradient to move these compounds against their concentration. The pancreatic cancer drug gemcitabine is imported by transceptors that act on these compounds, which in humans are classified as either “concentrative” or “equilibrative.” The kinases TK1 and NME triply phosphorylate an antiviral drug resembling one of these compounds with a 3-prime azido group replacing a hydroxyl. A family of reverse transcriptase inhibitors, exemplified by AZT, disrupt DNA replication by acting as analogues of these compounds. For 10 points, name these phosphate-lacking metabolites consisting of a five-carbon sugar and a nitrogenous base.

This military action caused the “Dovecote” and “Rock” plans to falter, in part because the “totality of the tank” doctrine failed to account for the suitcase-like Sagger missile launchers used during it. The popularity of this action led the “open door” policy of Law 43 to be styled as an “economic” successor to it. During the 8th annual parade celebrating this action, followers of the author of The Neglected Obligation pulled up in front of an honorary podium in a military truck to throw grenades at its architect. The self-styled “hero” of this action was mockingly asked “where’s our breakfast?” by protesters during the 1977 “bread riots.” During this action, high-pressure water cannons blasted away sand walls. For 10 points, identify this surprise attack that opened the Yom Kippur War, in which Anwar Sadat’s army breached the Bar-Lev Line and used pontoon bridges to enter Sinai.

This character theorizes a figure who, like God, “remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible… indifferent, paring his fingernails.” This character declares “Aristotle has not defined pity and terror; I have” and uses a wastebasket to illustrate the roles of integritas and claritas in an aesthetic theory he calls “applied Aquinas.” This character retorts that his country is an “old sow that eats her farrow” when Davin declares that “a man’s country” comes before poetry. This character writes of a “eucharistic hymn” in a villanelle that asks, “Are you not weary of ardent ways?” This character asks an “old artificer” to “stand me now and ever in good stead” after resolving to “encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience” and forge the “uncreated conscience of my race.” For 10 points, name this protagonist of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce.

Noticing a certain symmetry of the simplicial k-module in Hochschild homology allows a generalization to a homology named for this property over objects with this property in an abelian category. If a Galois extension has this property, field elements of unit norm are characterized by Hilbert’s Theorem 90. Considering the Frobenius endomorphism shows that the Galois group of a finite field has this property. The multiplicative group of integers modulo n has this property if and only if n is one, two, four, or either one or two times a power of an odd prime. By a fundamental structure theorem, any finitely generated abelian group is the direct sum of groups with this property, which represent rotational symmetries of a polygon. For 10 points, name this property of groups such as the integers modulo n that are generated by a single element.

Vendulka repeatedly refuses to do this action because she thinks it would disturb the ghost of Lukáš’s dead wife in an opera titled for this action by Smetana. In Rusalka’s final scene, the Prince begs the title water nymph to perform this action, knowing it will kill him. This action titles a popular “vocal waltz” by Luigi Arditi. This action names a gentle E major theme introduced in the Act I duet “Già nella notte densa” that returns twice in Act IV during Otello’s entrance and suicide. A repeated note and a rising fourth represent this action just as the orchestra builds to a “sickening” 8-note polytonal chord that resolves to C-sharp major. While stabbing Baron Scarpia, Tosca shouts, “this is Tosca’s” this word. After experiencing fear for the first time, Siegfried does this action to wake Brünnhilde. For 10 points, what action does Salome do to Jochaanan’s plated, severed head?

An envoy claimed that these objects matter less than virtue after a king insolently asked about their weight and size. The caches of these objects found in the 19th century are thought to have been buried by nobles fleeing west from “barbarians” who worshiped dog totems. The Basic Annals claim that a group of these objects was reduced in number from nine to eight when a king captured them and accidentally dropped one in a river. A 2022 study revealed the mix of jin and xi used in a recipe for these objects from the Artificers’ Record. These objects typically feature a zoomorphic design later identified with the gluttonous evil spirit tāotiè. The most prestigious of these objects often had two handles and three legs. For 10 points, Shang and Zhou kings were buried with what ornate ritual vessels, also called dǐng, during China’s “age” named for their material?

The second clue refers to the Quǎnróng.)

In the 2010s, politicians from this city were wiretapped in the massive “middle world” investigation. Hood-wearing gapistas make illegal, nocturnal repairs to the potholes that cover 80 percent of this city’s streets. Metonyms for dysfunction in this city include an incomplete, sail-shaped sports complex designed by Calatrava and its fire-prone ATAC buses. Following the collapse of a national unity government in 2022, this city planned to build a waste-to-energy plant that would fix its perennial garbage fire problem, a symbol of its degrado. Wild boars invaded the streets of this capital city before its 2021 mayoral elections, which were won by a member of the center-left Democratic Party, or PD. This city’s first female mayor, Virginia Raggi, was a member of the Five Star Movement. For 10 points, name this capital city where a planned Archaeological Walk will give visitors access to the Imperial Fora.

In this story, an old man faints after the “companions” bring him before the “lord of perception.” After his “senses were disturbed, [his] arms spread out, and trembling came over every part of [him],” a character in this story passes the Walls of the Prince and is given boiled milk by a wanderer. Along with the Loyalist Instruction, this story is taken as an exemplar of the “king-guided” individual’s role in “connective justice” in Jan Assmann’s book on the “mind” of its country. While living among the “Asiatics,” the protagonist of this story defeats the champion of Retenu in a duel that may be the source for David’s combat with Goliath. Mika Waltari’s magnum opus retells this story, whose title character flees his homeland in a panic but returns as an old man during the reign of Senusret I. For 10 points, name this story that presents an autobiographical account of the title Middle Kingdom nobleman.

A 1998 paper showing that two materials have this property from Gil Lonzarich’s group endorsed finding this property “at the edge of magnetic order.” Those materials are in the same class as cerium copper silicide, which was shown to have this property by Steglich et al. in 1979. In 2018, Jarillo-Herrero’s group demonstrated this property near a Mott insulator state in a material with a specific superlattice that drastically reduced the Fermi velocity. It’s not antiferromagnetism, but Anderson proposed an explanation for this property in terms of resonating valence bonds, in which superexchange through intermediate atoms provided coupling between spins. That account was devised for a system with d-wave symmetry arising from planes of copper and oxygen atoms. For 10 points, the BCS theory of Cooper pairs provides the “conventional” explanation for the behavior of what property?

A Black sailor who settled near the north end of this geographical area, James D. Saules, clashed with locals in the Cockstock affair. A “meridian” and “baseline” named for this geographical area defined the grid along which land patents were issued under the Donation Land Claim Act. In the 1850s, this specific geographical area’s native people, like the Clackamas and Kalapuya, were forcibly moved to the Grand Ronde Reservation, where they’ve more recently called for the return of this area’s namesake meteorite. The north end of the Siskiyou Trail ran through this geographical area, whose town of Champoeg was the site of 1840s “wolf meetings” that formed its region’s first provisional government. This valley was the endpoint of a route that passed landmarks like Fort Kearney and Chimney Rock. For 10 points, what fertile valley was the final destination for settlers on the Oregon Trail?

A book by this person often uses the hyphenated term “fleeting-improvised-men” and inspired Harry Smith’s film Heaven and Earth Magic with its notion of the “forecourts of heaven.” Alice Miller’s book on “poisonous pedagogy” cites Morton Schatzman’s work on the “soul murder” of this person by his father, a doctor who invented the community garden. The first paragraph of Anti-Oedipus proclaims that this man has a “solar anus,” referring to his belief that “searing” and “blessing” rays were preparing him to become God’s wife. Two chapters about this man end Elias Canetti’s book Crowds and Power. A 1911 book on this man’s “case” attributes his condition to infantile sexual fantasies via a dubious reading of his Memoirs of My Nervous Illness. For 10 points, name this German judge whose paranoid schizophrenia was analyzed second-hand by Freud.

In a book by this author’s nephew, this author yells “don’t strike!” before being murdered in a cellar. In a book by this author, a man “seeds” a plain with gold to slow a pursuing king who “grovels like a pig” to grab a ring. This author advised against “driven” phrases with more than six determinants in a commentary on a poem he wrote using “court meter” and 94 other verse forms. In a story recorded by this author, a character repeatedly wakes to wonder whether a leaf, bird droppings, or an acorn fell on his head as a traveler strikes it. A book by this author opens with a euhemerized account in which a king marries the Sibyl and leaves Troy to settle in Europe. A poetic guidebook by this author summarizes myths to explain kennings like “Sif’s hair.” For 10 points, name this author credited with writing the Heimskringla, as well as the Skáldskaparmál and the rest of the Prose Edda.

The lawns around one of these structures contain a former part of it whose failed renovation earned it the nickname “Smith’s Folly.” Michel Pinseau included a laser in his design for one of these structures adorned with seafoam-colored tiles. According to legend, a monarch covered up his laziness by claiming his tinkering with paper was a design for one of these structures. One of these structures inspired Philip Johnson’s 1976 design for an all-white building in Dallas’s Thanks-Giving Square. One of these structures in Seville was converted into the Giralda. Indian instances of these structures include four that comprise an iconic monument of Hyderabad and a brick one in Delhi’s Qutb complex. Ziggurats may have inspired the Malwiya, a spiral-shaped sort of this structure in Samarra. For 10 points, name these towers from which muezzins call for prayer.

A student in a café angrily points at a map after overhearing this place’s name and the word “crime” in a novel that calls an event here the “hinge” of its century and a “change of front on the part of the Universe.” A 17-year-old gets drunk by buying four glasses of brandy from a cantinière at this place, which he reaches after being imprisoned for claiming to be the barometer salesman Vasi. A 19-chapter digression set at this place uses a dash to represent the word “Merde!” spoken by the “titan” Cambronne and includes a scene in which Pontmercy asks the innkeeper Thénardier to check his pockets, not realizing he has already robbed him. At this place, a boy with diamonds sewn into his coat has his horse stolen and tries to shoot a trooper in a chaotic sequence that inspired Tolstoy’s depiction of Borodino. For 10 points, name this site of a battle depicted in Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables and Stendhal’s The Charterhouse of Parma.

Wertheim showed that systems named for this noun have an exact solution for the Percus–Yevick equation. A useful approximation model for ion energies in the primitive model is described by this word and “mean.” Berlin and Kac extended the Ising model to create a model of ferromagnetism named for this word. This is the second word of a model described by the Carnahan–Starling equation of state, which includes B-sub-2 equals “four times particle volume” among its analytical solutions for the first three virial coefficients. This is also the first word of a type of function that solves for the angular component of the wavefunction of the hydrogen atom. Those functions denoted “Y-sub-l-super-m” are “harmonics” described by this word. For 10 points, the kinetic theory of gases assumes that all molecules are what idealized “hard” shape with a consistent radius?

Valerie Hansen credits a wave of refugees from this region with bringing the practice of writing their language on “wedge-shaped” and “double rectangular” wood slips to cities like Niya. The language named for this region provides the local name Kroraïna for the Tarim Basin kingdom of Loulan, whose inhabitants used this region’s Kharoṣṭhī script. This historic region produced ornate stone “toilet trays,” as well the Shinkot and Bimaran casket reliquaries. This satrapy northwest of Arachosia lay just southeast of the Khyber Pass. This region’s loose topknots stood for the ushnisha cranial knob in works that replaced aniconic images of footprints in the 1st century CE. The Kushan Empire patronized artists from this region who used densely folded robes and haloes in their images of the Buddha. For 10 points, what ancient region names a Greco-Buddhist art style?

This ballet’s iconic pose features thumbs out, flat fingers angled down in profile, and bent knees and elbows. This ballet’s single high jump inspired a posthumous cast by Rodin. 90 rehearsals were required for the statuesque 2D choreography of this ballet, which inspired a 1953 duet set in a studio by Jerome Robbins. This ballet’s muted backdrop, which is hung from the second wings, depicts a paradise in flat bas-relief designed by Léon Bakst. At the end of this ballet, a danseur in a cream bodysuit with dark patches mounts a rock and lies erotically on a veil. Though this scandalous one-act ballet premiered weeks earlier in 1912, Michel Fokine accused it of stealing from Daphnis et Chloé and left the Ballets Russes. This ballet adapts a tone poem that closes in a very tonal E major after reprising a low chromatic flute solo. For 10 points, Vaslav Nijinsky chased nymphs in what ballet inspired by Debussy’s “Prelude to” a Mallarmé poem?

A book that divides a form of this phenomenon into “liberal” and “illiberal” types according to whether it emphasizes “ethnos” or “humanity” examines how Raphael Lemkin made use of the “language of transgression.” The “critical study” of this phenomenon is expounded by the Aberystwyth School, whose key figure, Ken Booth, describes this phenomenon in terms of “emancipatory realism.” In The Problems of Genocide, Dirk Moses posited a “permanent” form of this phenomenon pursued by paranoid states. The spiral model is alternately named for this phenomenon, since it involves states pursuing it and thereby influencing other states to do the same. A Stephen Walt paper on “The Renaissance” of the study of this phenomenon defines the field as “the study of the threat, use, and control of military force.” For 10 points, give this concept that names a UN body with five permanent members.

A cache of objects almost certainly from this modern-day country, as well as 2,000 brass rods, were found in Mauritania by Théodore Monod at the “wreck” site of Ma’adin Ijafen. A 14th-century account claims that this country is annually menaced by a lamp-filled ship that will land if its inhabitants abandon Islam. This country’s hawitta mounds date from before its conversion by a merchant possibly identical to the Somali saint Aw Barkhadle. While serving under Queen Khadijah in this country, Ibn Battuta was exasperated by its women’s custom of only wearing skirts. This country was the main source of objects used with horseshoe-shaped manilla bands as money in West Africa, cowrie shells. This country’s sultan Thakurufaanu patronized the Thaana script now used for its Dhivehi language. For 10 points, fishermen used dhoni boats to sail between the many atolls of what Indian Ocean country?

Animals that engage in this behavior exclusively host the parasitic ant species A. punctaticeps. The heavy zygomatic arch and small infraorbital foramen of bathyergids are adaptations that promote this behavior. Well-developed shoulder retractors and elbow flexors characterize animals that perform this behavior by using a “hook-and-pull” strategy. A rapid diversification of this behavior evident in the fossil record is linked to the Cambrian substrate revolution. The owl species A. cunicularia relies on animals that exhibit this behavior for its nests but, despite its common name, can’t perform it itself. Animals that engage in this behavior are distinguished by the elongation of the ulnar olecranon process and the distal phalanges, giving them robust forelimbs. For 10 points, name this characteristic behavior of fossorial mammals like naked mole rats and prairie dogs.

A folktale character with this name hides her wedding dress under a rock in the ocean, only for it to be fetched by an army of crabs at the behest of an archer’s talking stallion. A girl with this name is the subject of Chapter 3 in Clarissa Estés’s Women Who Run with the Wolves, which offers a Jungian analysis of her refusal to “know too much” by asking about three pairs of disembodied hands that materialize to press some poppy seeds. A king’s arrow leads his youngest son to a “frog princess” with this name. A girl with this name experiences day, sunrise, and night as men on white, red, and black horses ride past her in the forest. Ivan Bilibin’s illustrations depict a girl with this name walking by light of a flaming skull after her magic doll helps her sort corn for Baba Yaga. For 10 points, give this ubiquitous name for Russian fairy tale heroines, like ones nicknamed “the wise” and “the beautiful.”

This is the first concept in the title of a book that opens with an analysis of Aeschylus’s Eumenides and how the family became “a place of philia.” That book posits a “Transition-” type of this concept that avoids two flawed “roads” in response to it. A work about this concept lists three “movements” that may distinguish between impulse and assent and a transition to “feritas.” This is the first title concept of a book that revises views about its “justified and right” forms expressed in Upheavals of Thought. The title of a book by Martha Nussbaum pairs this concept with forgiveness, echoing a Roman philosopher who followed up his treatise on this concept with one “On Clemency.” Roman Stoics argued against the Peripatetic claim that this emotion provides motivation for courage. For 10 points, name this destructive emotion that titles a work by Seneca.

A factory worker in this country becomes a scab to support his pregnant wife Maria in the play They Don’t Wear Black Tie. In a surrealist play from this country, Alaide obsesses over the mysterious Madame Clessi in fragmented memories while possibly undergoing surgery. A play from this country is titled for an action that Arandir does with a bus accident victim, which spawns a media frenzy. The plays The Wedding Dress and The Asphalt Kiss are from this country. A populist theater movement from this country highlighted the roles of the “Joker” and of audience participants, or “spect-actors.” A guitarist pines for his dead love in an all-black play from this country that adapts the Orpheus myth and was made into a 1959 musical film. For 10 points, name this home country of Nelson Rodrigues, where Augusto Boal led the Theatre of the Oppressed.

This theme’s final chord is produced by the guitar tab “0 10 9 8 7 x” in standard tuning. This theme begins with a line cliché of four smooth E minor chords topped with degrees 5, flat-6, 6, and flat-6, its “suspense motif.” This theme’s syncopated motif E G, high E-flat D recurs in trumpets’ high register before Vic Flick reprises a syncopated riff on the low E string of a distorted electric guitar. That riff was drawn from a song about an “unlucky sneeze” that imitates Indian classical music. A dissonant E major-minor ninth chord ends this theme by Monty Norman that John Barry arranged for big band. This theme gives way to silhouettes dancing to calypso during the first gun barrel sequence. For 10 points, what theme was introduced to a spy series in Dr. No?

During this conflict, the work of a kidnapped Radio Liberty journalist was called “more dangerous than firing a machine gun.” A general in the first stage of this conflict boasted that one airborne division could win it in two hours before drunkenly launching a New Year’s Eve assault that lasted for two months. Journalists who covered this conflict included Ann Nivat and a woman who was shot in her apartment elevator after being detained during it. This conflict included the first use of “filtration point” camps, as well the first “mopping-up” operations called zachistka. During this conflict, one side deployed “black widow” suicide bombers. During the guerilla stage of this conflict, a school in Beslan was seized by forces of Shamil Basayev, an ally of Aslan Maskhadov. For 10 points, name this pair of wars in which Russian troops destroyed the capital of the breakaway state of Ichkeria, Grozny.

Measurements of an effect named after this phenomenon and of a torsional oscillator were used by Bishop and Reppy to confirm the BKT theory. That effect named after this phenomenon is analogous to gravity waves and is exhibited in Rollin films. Landau predicted very-high-frequency oscillations in the orientation of the Fermi surface named after this phenomenon. The hydrodynamic modes corresponding to this phenomenon in a fluid arise due to coupling between the density and the momentum density. The two-fluid model of superfluids predicts a diverging thermal conductivity due to the existence of a temperature mode named the “second” kind of this phenomenon. A quantity associated with this phenomenon is equal to the square root of “adiabatic index times Boltzmann’s constant times temperature over mass.” For 10 points, Isaac Newton calculated the isothermal speed of what phenomenon, which he measured by clapping while walking around Trinity College?

Varieties of this activity like the “seven finger high-glister” are practiced by Maudy Ghamus and Gamby Gholar in a cave home to a giant, lazy snake. In a book titled for this activity, moaning and groaning in the walls of Marrabo McSwayn’s new kitchen leads it to be torn down and its wood used for a schoolhouse. A practitioner of this activity helps solve his own murder before actually being shot by a railroad man in a Rudolph Fisher novel. The title character learns this activity in the Great Dismal Swamp in Blake; or the Huts of America by Martin Delany. A collection titled for this activity includes “Po’ Sandy” and a story in which a man anxious to protect his crop of scuppernong asks Aunt Peggy to make it poisonous to interlopers. For 10 points, Uncle Julius tells stories like “The Goophered Grapevine” in a Charles Chesnutt collection titled for a woman who practices what magical art?

Jarrod Shanahan’s history of this place profiles the “welfarism” of former garment worker Anna Kross. A quilt by Jesse Krimes visualizes a 10-year deadline for this place that Jacques Jiha further delayed in 2024. In this place, members of the COBA union oversee the use of “the bing.” Until 2023, the main alternative to this place was a massive barge called the Vernon C. Bain Centre. An article by Jennifer Gonnerman drew attention to the case of a man who took his own life after spending three years in this place as a teenager, Kalief Browder. A 2014 report by Preet Bharara attacked the “culture of violence” at this place, whose sole access point is the Francis R. Buono bridge. This place has an average daily population of around 10,000 people, most of whom have not been charged. For 10 points, name this infamously hellish jail, the largest in New York City, which is located on an East River island.

The Hawthorne effect was discovered in a city named for this person, where a 4,000-person white mob attacked the home of the Clark family in a 1951 race riot. In The Souls of Black Folk, W. E. B. Du Bois describes translating a work by this person “into the simplest English with local applications” to teach sharecroppers’ children. This person’s advice on “motions of the body” is quoted in the “instructions” that open a “Columbian” schoolbook by Caleb Bingham that Frederick Douglass used to learn to read. The “Cross of Gold” speech favorably compares Andrew Jackson to this master of periodic sentences for his defeat of the “conspiracy” of the Second Bank. A Chicago suburb named for this person was Al Capone’s home base. Ted Cruz paraphrased a remark by this person as “Shame on the age and on its lost principles!” For 10 points, what orator exclaimed “O tempora, o mores!” while attacking Catiline?

This character and the narrator vehemently disagree over whether the funeral hymn sung by a group of peasants is “discordant” or “sweet.” The fictional introduction to a 2019 edition claims that this character was inspired by Veronika Hausle’s letters about Marcia Maren. This character claims to have once dreamt of hiding under a bed in an unfamiliar room, paralleling the narrator’s childhood vision of a young girl slipping into her nursery. In this character’s first appearance, she faints in her carriage after it crashes into a lime tree. This character kills General Spielsdorf’s niece Bertha. Dr. Hesselius’s notes provide the frame story for a book titled for this character, in which she saps Laura’s strength at a castle in Styria and uses obvious aliases like Millarca and Mircalla. For 10 points, a Sheridan Le Fanu novella is titled for what lesbian vampire?

To study these events, the Langley trajectory model may be combined with CALIOP data to estimate the “injection height” of a substance associated with them. The VPD and ERC are metrics used to predict the dynamics of these events, which are monitored in real-time through the 3.9- and 10.8-micrometer channels. The Van Wagner and Rothermel models may be used by FARSITE software to simulate “spotting” that occurs during these events. Features called snags increase the probability of these events, which are the most common mechanism for the formation of hydrophobic soil. The NWS may issue PDS red flag warnings for these events, which come in ground, surface, crown, and understory types. These events may paradoxically be exacerbated through their namesake suppression. For 10 points, name these events commonly initiated when lightning strikes dry vegetation.

A vulgar pun on this two-word term names a magazine whose founders, Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad, wrote the forthcoming book Poor Artists. In a section on “The Eye and the Spectator,” an essay partly titled for this term posits that modernism could be taught through fables like “How the Edge Revolted Against the Centre.” This term names a gallery founded by Jay Jopling that hosted My Major Retrospective, the first solo show by Tracey Emin. In 1976, Artforum published a three-part essay by Brian O’Doherty on “The Ideology of the Gallery Space,” which was titled “Inside” this term. This two-word term describes the components of Structure with Three Towers by Sol LeWitt. This two-word term describes a space that typically has unadorned walls and ceiling lights so as not to interfere with the art itself. For 10 points, give this generic two-word term derived from the typical shape and color of modern art galleries.

The “care” taken by this entity is seen in a bubbling pot of soup in the “Circle and the Square” chapter of a book co-written by Richard Erdoes. The term “four times four” refers to this entity’s manifestations, which include the four winds and all “two-leggeds.” This entity is beseeched “that the people may live” in a ritual preceded by the blowing of bone whistles and the cutting of a cottonwood tree. The task of “bringing the people back to” this entity is analogized to finding a “red road” in a book by John Neihardt. A word meaning “to address a relative” refers to prayers to this “grandfather” entity, which may be accompanied by smudging and smoking of a chanupa pipe. The most common English name for this entity is a phrase also used to translate the concept of Gitche Manitou from Algonquian languages. For 10 points, Lame Deer and Black Elk were devotees of what ultimate divine principle in Lakota religion?
