Set took the form of a black boar to swallow an entity identified as one of these objects. After returning to
Atum with Tefnut and Shu, a figure identified as one of these objects was placated with transformation into
the first
uraeus
(“yoo-REE-us”)
. During his battles with Horus, Set buried these objects on a mountainside,
where they grew into lotuses. Thoth journeyed to Nubia to convince the Distant Goddess, also known as one
of these objects, to return to Egypt, where she reverted to a more benevolent form after seeing music and
dancing. Sekhmet and (*)
Bast have been identified with that goddess representing the wrath of the sun, known as
one of these objects belonging to Ra. Thoth used minerals and plants to fill and heal one of these body parts, which
was depicted as the protective

Madagascar’s famine has been exacerbated by events of this type known as
tiomena
, which gain their
characteristic red tint from iron-rich laterite. Outbreaks of meningococcal meningitis in its namesake “belt”
correlate with increased instances of these events during the Harmattan. The Bodélé Depression of Lake
Chad feeds many of these events whose
simoom
variety can overwhelm the sweating response causing sudden
(*)
heatstroke. Thunderstorms may accompany instances of these events known as
haboobs
. They’re not floods, but
these events form the majority of loess deposits. Pneumonia and silicosis may result from excessive exposure to
these events that, in Africa, provide enriching nutrients to the Amazon Basin. For 10 points, the Sahara is plagued by

Styrene-maleic acid copolymers are used to create native nanodiscs that mimic the environment of these
structures. Partially immobilized annular shells may bind to this structure’s proteins while interacting with
certain “bulk” compounds. In models, these structures can coexist in gel, liquid-ordered, and
liquid-disordered phases. Eicosanoids are produced in a pathway that
[emphasize]
originates
from one of
these structures in which enzymes like ALOX5 and COX1 act on arachidonic acid, which is released from
that structure. (*)
Prostaglandins are derived from these structures, which contain sphingolipid-rich “rafts.” Unlike
peptide hormones, steroid hormones can cross these structures, which contain amphipathic molecules with

In 2020, Borry et al. developed an “ID” method for determining this substance’s source. Population trends
in ancient settlements can be determined by comparing the amount of a certain 27-carbon stanol with its
“epi” derivative in this substance. They’re not bog bodies, but “paleo” examples of this substance form
protective outer shells thanks to the Maillard reaction. An extremely large example of this substance
belonging to a Viking is named for Lloyd’s Bank. The presence of this substance in the Paisley Caves is some
of the earliest evidence of (*)
human habitation in North America. Mary Anning discovered the first coprolites,
which are fossilized examples of this non-hair substance that can be analyzed to determine parasitic infections or
diet. For 10 points, name this substance that, when used as fertilizer, is called manure.

One of these events concluded with the ascetic Koṇḍañña becoming the first stream-enterer. Because he was
not physically present for some of these events, Ānanda originated the formulaic phrase “thus have I heard”
at later events. The Dhamek Stupa commemorates the site of one of these events, which was also celebrated
by Ashoka’s Lion Capital. Another of these events opened with the proclamation that “all is burning.” (*)
Mahākāshyapa smiled after the central figure of one of these events silently held up a flower. The second of these
events promulgated the “no-soul doctrine” or anattā. The first of these events occurred at Deer Park in Sārnāth,
where teachings about escaping
dukkha
“set in motion” the wheel of Dharma. For 10 points, name these events,

A probability measure can be expressed as the sum of a singular measure and a measure with a kind of this
property according to Lebesgue’s decomposition theorem. In a compact set, the Heine–Cantor theorem
presents a statement about functions with this property that can be used to prove Cauchy’s Theorem. One
can prove that a sequence of functions converges to one with this property by applying the Weierstrass M-test
and uniform limit theorem together. An integral with non-infinite integrands is (*)
improper if this property
does not hold for at least one point in the interval of integration. Functions that scale distances by at most a constant
factor demonstrate a strong form of this property named for Lipschitz. For 10 points, name this property that holds at
a limit point if and only if the limit as the function approaches the limit point is equal to the function’s value at the
limit point.

A contributor to this poem joked that he had performed a “Caesarean Operation” on its author in the
poem “Sage Homme.” This poem’s author scrapped a stanza about “white-armed Fresca” in favor of one that
borrows from Spenser’s
Prothalamion
by asking a river to “run softly till I end my song.” A draft of this
poem shows the addition of the line, “Marie, hold on tight,” and reveals its Dickens-inspired working title, (*)
He Do the Police in Different Voices
. A poet who insisted on the importance of a “Phoenician, a fortnight dead” in
this poem was credited in its dedication as “il miglior fabbro.” A description of a time period “breeding lilacs out of
the dead land” opens “The Burial of the Dead,” the first section of this Ezra Pound-edited poem. For 10 points, name

Protestors chanted for this leader to go “to the Castle” almost 20 years after this leader was forced into
being a forestry official. Under this leader, former political dissidents formed into Klub 231 and the KAN
party. This leader’s policies were critiqued by a manifesto titled “The Two Thousand Words” and involved a
Constitutional Act that split his country into two federations. This Esperanto speaker brought in Ota Šik
(“oh-tah shik”)
and other political opponents of (*)
Antonín Novotný to execute his “Action Programme.” A
period instigated by this leader witnessed the self-immolation of the student Jan Palach
(“yawn pah-lock”)
in

This piece’s fourth movement contrasts a D-flat major chorale with a triplet “inferno” theme to represent
heaven and hell. This piece opens by establishing a two-note “nature theme” of descending fourths beginning
with A–E, which is interrupted by an “awakening call” from the clarinets before muted offstage trumpets
enter with a fanfare. The end of this piece’s fourth movement calls for the French horns to stand and “drown
out” the orchestra “including the trumpets.” This piece’s (*)
“Blumine” movement was removed after its third
performance in 1894. This piece’s third movement, which the composer described as a “tragic irony,” mimics a
klezmer band in its second section after its opening funeral march quotes “Frère Jacques” in D minor. For 10 points,

The Peano-Baker series is used to write the STM for general time-dependent systems with this property.
Because centers are periodic but not isolated trajectories, limit cycles do not exist in systems with this
property. This is the first of two properties that name a class of systems whose output can be obtained by
convolving the input with the impulse response; those systems have this property and (*)
time-invariance.
Thevenin and Nortons’ theorems apply to circuits with this property, which circuit elements like diodes and
transistors lack. Functions with this property satisfy additivity and homogeneity, or the principle of superposition. A
current-voltage plot for an Ohmic circuit element will have this property. For 10 points, give this property that

This state’s Bureau of Registry made copies of every single official document to ward off forgery. This
state's administration began to use the word
dīwān
for its agencies, leading to the word's modern dual
meaning as a bureau and as a collection of poetry. The Ghassanids, who widely converted to Islam under this
state, initially served it as non-Muslim bureaucrats called
mawālī
. This state unified its military and tax
bureaus under its ruler ‘Abd (*)

This thinker argued for a “science of man” that underlies mathematics, philosophy, and religion and
provides a “solid foundation” for all other sciences. This thinker’s account of definition considers whether the
term being defined is “annexed” to an idea. This thinker declared, “There be no such thing as Chance in the
world,” before immediately arguing that there is a probability arising from chances. All simple ideas are
derived from simple impressions according to this philosopher’s (*)
copy principle. This philosopher’s
distinction between relations of ideas and matters of fact has been dubbed their namesake “fork,” which this
philosopher used to argue causation was merely “constant conjunction.” For 10 points, name this Scottish empiricist
