Some other minerals, such as quartz, are triboluminescent, emitting light when rubbed together.

Some of these minerals are essential to human metabolism.

Some supplements, including the minerals selenium or zinc have been reported to extend the lifespan of rats and mice, though none have been proven to do so in humans, and significant toxic effects were observed.

Some habits are distinctive of certain minerals, although most minerals exhibit many differing habits ( the development of a particular habit is determined by the details of the conditions during the mineral formation / crystal growth ).

Some minerals may replace other existing minerals while preserving the original's habit: this process is called pseudomorphous replacement.

Some of them are obvious, such as the fact that we associate recorded and live music with our responses and behavior in different types of environments and social settings.

Some recreation features, such as scenic values and water interest, also have greater overall value than other interests.

Some such youngsters rarely smile, or they try to speak with the mouth closed.

Some anthropologists, such as Lloyd Fallers and Clifford Geertz, focused on processes of modernization by which newly independent states could develop.

Some, such as the spadefoot toads, have strong biting jaws and are carnivorous or even cannibalistic.

Some of these have specific adaptations such as enlarged teeth for biting or spines on the chest, arms or thumbs.

Some salamanders adopt defensive poses when faced by a potential predator such as the North American northern short-tailed shrew ( Blarina brevicauda ).

Some jurisdictions have specialized appellate courts, such as the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which only hears appeals raised in criminal cases, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which has general jurisdiction but derives most of its caseload from patent cases, on the other hand, and appeals from the Court of Federal Claims on the other.

Some adaptations of the Latin alphabet are augmented with ligatures, such as æ in Old English and Icelandic and Ȣ in Algonquian ; by borrowings from other alphabets, such as the thorn þ in Old English and Icelandic, which came from the Futhark runes ; and by modifying existing letters, such as the eth ð of Old English and Icelandic, which is a modified d. Other alphabets only use a subset of the Latin alphabet, such as Hawaiian, and Italian, which uses the letters j, k, x, y and w only in foreign words.

Some alphabets today, such as the Hanuno ' o script, are learned one letter at a time, in no particular order, and are not used for collation where a definite order is required.

Some of the oldest and most widespread stories in the world are stories of adventure such as Homer's The Odyssey.

Some are no more than a widening of a stream valley ; others, such as the Konya Ovasi, are large basins of inland drainage or are the result of limestone erosion.

Some of these churches are known as Anglican, such as the Anglican Church of Canada, due to their historical link to England ( Ecclesia Anglicana means " English Church ").
