It's usually reserved for executive officers on Romulan ships ( Tal in TOS's " The Enterprise Incident " and N ' Vek in TNG's " Face of the Enemy "), but in rare cases, subcommanders may captain their own Warbirds ( Taris in TNG's " Contagion ").

The N ' Tal do not have bodies of their own, instead they require hosts to live — but they have the technology to reanimate, cure and occupy the bodies of the recently dead.

Dr. Michael Alders ( Mykelti Williamson ), an oncologist, is put in charge of the N ' Tal relocation project: the collection and use of human dead that are not too badly injured and therefore suitable for use as N ' Tal hosts.

Alders does not trust the N ' Tal and considers them parasites.

Despite his moral qualms over the project, Alders realizes how beneficial the N ' Tal technology can be for helping the living.

However, the project suffers from the logistical difficulties: There are approximately two hundred thousand N ' Tal needing hosts and the selection criteria for corpses are quite strict.

Without bodies to inhabit, the N ' Tal will die within two years — including Kadimas ( Richard Grove ), the N ' Tal liaison Alders has come to know well.

He survives, but his wife Karen ( Rae Dawn Chong ) is killed and her body is found suitable to act as a N ' Tal host.

He goes to see the N ' Tal now occupying his wife's body — something that is strictly forbidden.

He receives a complaint from the N ' Tal woman who, although sympathetic to Jim's loss, was given assurances that such a thing would never happen.

Jim tells him that he has seen the N ' Tal behaving suspiciously: gathering together, transferring computer discs, gaseous substances, and information about their mothership.

Alders, never fully trusting of the N ' Tal, begins to investigate them.

He discovers that the reanimated N ' Tal are collecting pressurised tanks and gases that could be toxic to humans in certain combinations.

Furthermore, the tanks are being shipped to a company Synergistic Technologies owned by reanimated N ' Tal.

Suspicious that they may be planning to kill large numbers of humans in order to provide the project with enough suitable hosts, he tries to contact and confront his N ' Tal liaison Kadimas ... but Kadimas, too long without a body, has become seriously weakened and is unavailable.

The new liaison is a harsher and less sympathetic N ' Tal who explains that Kadimas's position does not allow him any priority in the queue for new hosts.

He decides to arm himself and visit Synergistic Technologies, where he sees N ' Tal gathering.

Alders is invited inside and sees a ceremony in which a baby born to two N ' Tal is displayed — fully Human in both body and mind.

Writing about Hayden's role in the 1960s New Left, Nicholas Lemann, national correspondent for The Atlantic, said that " Tom Hayden changed America ", calling him " father to the largest mass protests in American history ", and Richard N. Goodwin, who was a speechwriter for presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy, said that Hayden, " without even knowing it, inspired the Great Society.

With but five characters left ( L, M, N, O, and P ), the elusive phrase is eventually discovered by Ella in one of her father's earlier letters with him knowing all along that this would happen: " Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs ", which has only 32 letters.

They started out translating N. W. A songs to Dutch, though later wrote their own rhymes in Dutch.

In their names, S stands for substitution, N for nucleophilic, and the number represents the kinetic order of the reaction, unimolecular or bimolecular.

* The cofinality of the real numbers with their usual ordering is ℵ < sub > 0 </ sub >, since N is cofinal in R. The usual ordering of R is not order isomorphic to c, the cardinality of the real numbers, which has cofinality strictly greater than ℵ < sub > 0 </ sub >.

In late November, the Second All-Russian Conference of the Extraordinary Commissions accepted a decision after the report of I. N. Polukarov to establish at all frontlines and army sections of the Cheka and granted them the right to appoint their commissioners in military units.

All of their hubs are at Kinshasa's N ' djili Airport

: This term is used both for conventional p – n diodes used to monitor temperature due to their varying forward voltage with temperature, and for Peltier heat pumps for thermoelectric heating and cooling .. Peltier heat pumps may be made from semiconductor, though they do not have any rectifying junctions, they use the differing behaviour of charge carriers in N and P type semiconductor to move heat.

The only requirements of these conventions are that the DFT and IDFT have opposite-sign exponents and that the product of their normalization factors be 1 / N.

The Boys countered with rules of their own, forbidding anyone in the Grants from holding " any office of honor or profit under the colony of N. York ".

In September 2010, it was reported that the U. N. General Assembly had appointed Mazlan Othman as their official extraterrestrial liaison by the UK paper The Sunday Times.

While the absorption of infrared radiation by many greenhouse gases varies linearly with their abundance, a few important ones display non-linear behaviour for current and likely future abundances ( e. g., CO < sub > 2 </ sub >, CH < sub > 4 </ sub >, and N < sub > 2 </ sub > O ).

A team of U. N. inspectors, led by Swedish diplomat Hans Blix was admitted, into the country ; their final report stated that Iraqis capability in producing " weapons of mass destruction " was not significantly different from 1992 when the country dismantled the bulk of their remaining arsenals under terms of the ceasefire agreement with U. N. forces, but did not completely rule out the possibility that Saddam still had Weapons of Mass Destruction.

U. N. inspectors have heard of the tunnels for years, but have not found their entrances.

This is because both YES and NO answers can be verified in polynomial time given the prime factors ( we can verify their primality using the AKS primality test, and that their product is N by multiplication ).

In 1972, John Bardeen shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Leon N Cooper of Brown University and John Robert Schrieffer of the University of Pennsylvania for their jointly developed theory of superconductivity, usually called the BCS-theory.

The historian N. J. Higham offers another explanation for their attendance, arguing that Æthelberht sent the pair to the council because of shifts in Frankish policy towards the Kentish kingdom, which threatened Kentish independence, and that the two clergymen were sent to negotiate a compromise with Chlothar.

Contemporary knitting groups may be referred to in the U. S. as a " Stitch ' N Bitch " where a group of knitters get together to work on projects, discuss patterns, troubleshoot their work and just socialize.

Using the names kilogram, gram, kilogram-force, or gram-force ( or their symbols ) as a unit of force is forbidden in SI ; the unit of force in SI is the newton ( N ).

In 1916, Gilbert N. Lewis formulated the octet rule, which concluded an octet of electrons in the outer shell was the most stable arrangement for any atom ; this arrangement caused them to be unreactive with other elements since they did not require any more electrons to complete their outer shell.

It is speculated that Semitic people working in Egypt adapted hieroglyphics to create the first alphabet, and that they used the same snake symbol to represent N, because their word for " snake " may have begun with that sound.

Fixation processes free up the nitrogen atoms from their diatomic form ( N < sub > 2 </ sub >) to be used in other ways.
