What mountain is between France and Spain and Argentina-Chile ? Andes and Alps?

I asked this question on several forums and no one knows more than two examples. Those were history forums. Obviously historians doesnt know much about geography. Can someone knows examples where mountain ranges created borders between diffrent ethnic groups ? Any good geographer here? Thanx in advance and sorry for english.

Scientists speculate that the highest risk factor for a kidney disease common to five Balkan nations is a plant commonly used in various Chinese herbal medicines. First described in Bulgaria in the scientific literature in the 1950s, Balkan Endemic Nephropathy (BEN) caused individuals, usually aged in their 50s, to develop symptoms of uremia, a buildup of nitrogenous waste products in the blood that signal renal failure. The irreversible renal disease would lead to death. Certain villages have a high BEN prevalence, but other villages only a few kilometers apart may be unaffected. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/09/140930111421.htm "The toxicological and epidemiological evidence linking AA (aristolochic acid ) with BEN are convincing in terms of the strength of association, consistency, specificity, temporality, dose-response relationship, coherence, experiment, and analogy," the authors state,

"Those treated with both irradiation and the cannabinoids saw the most beneficial results and a drastic reduction in size. In some cases, the tumours effectively disappeared in the animals. This augurs well for further research in humans in the future. At the moment this is a mostly fatal disease. "The benefits of the cannabis plant elements were known before but the drastic reduction of brain cancers if used with irradiation is something new and may well prove promising for patients who are in gravely serious situations with such cancers in the future." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/11/141114085629.htm

By analyzing DNA from petrous bones of ancient Europeans, scientists have identified these peoples remained intolerant to lactose (natural sugar in the milk of mammals) for 5,000 years after they adopted agricultural practices. The scientific team examined nuclear ancient DNA extracted from thirteen individuals from burials from archaeological sites in the Great Hungarian Plain. The skeletons sampled date from 5,700 BC (Early Neolithic) to 800 BC (Iron Age). http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141021125935.htm

While a life in the slow lane may be easier, will it be any longer? It will if you're a reptile. A new study finds that reduced reproductive rates and a plant-rich diet are responsible for the increased lifespan of reptiles. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/11/141117111654.htm

Despite large temperature increases in Alaska in recent decades, a new analysis of NASA airborne data finds that methane is not being released from Alaskan soils into the atmosphere at unusually high rates, as recent modeling and experimental studies have suggested. The new result shows that the changes in this part of the Arctic have not yet had enough impact to affect the global methane budget. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/11/141113134856.htm

When food is scarce, tool use among non-human primates does not increase. This counterintuitive finding leads researchers to suggest that the driving force behind tool use is ecological opportunity -- and that the environment shapes the development of culture. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/11/141111205906.htm I dont understand this driving force named "opportunity". They would also name it "curiosity" imho.

thanx on your response. and what about oral sex? is it possible to get HPV with it?

Hi, Friend of mine went regulary, each year, to gynecologist. Doctor everytime for years said to her she is perfectly healthy. She have one partner for about 9 years. Then one day doctor said to her she have HPV. Doctor also said to not panic that many women get it and live normal life and often that organism heal from hpv on its own. My friend and I talked and she is sure that she didnt get from her partner becuase she is his first sexual partner. My friend have had sexual partners before marriage. Anyway what is mystery to us, how she could get it if for last cca 10 years doctor said she is healthy, she didnt cheated her husband, neither he cheated her... Is it possible that she get infection from exams...unsterilized equipment...? For how long incubation of hpv virus can last...?

What about Titan plate tectonics?

http://www.space.com/27059-jupiter-moon-europa-plate-tectonics.html Very interesting article. I would like to see your comments. How did Europa formed in the first place and how is this possible?

you forgot that absence of evidence isnt evidence of absence. so i will continue to disagree. correct answer is we dont know is there pattern or not. but defenetly not : "there is no pattern" or "if you dont show pattern there is none." i hope you see difference. random isnt valid description. we need to name things right names. "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose."

i totaly disagree with this kind of statements. because we dont understand formula behind them that doesnt mean thy are random. beyond our chaos universe is order. edit: as numero uno breaktrough in all fields of science we need math breaktrough. because with it we will have physics breaktrough. imho, solution to prime numbers is in geometry.

me too. and i dont like lesbians.
