Khyber Pass
(noun)
A strategically important trade stop on the modern boundary of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Examples of Khyber Pass in the following topics:
-
Centralization in the Maurya Empire
- The Khyber Pass, on the modern boundary of Pakistan and Afghanistan, became a strategically important point of trade and interaction with the outside world.
-
Decline of the Maurya Empire
- In the east, the fall of the Mauryas left the Khyber Pass unguarded, and a wave of foreign invasion followed.
-
The Role of the Federal Budget
- However, Congress is the body required by law to pass a budget annually and to submit the budget passed by both houses to the president for signature.
- To help Congress pass the best budget possible, several government agencies provide data and analysis.
- If Congress fails to pass an annual budget, a series of appropriations bills must be passed as "stop gap" measures.
- Congress is responsible for passing the Federal Budget.
- If it cannot pass a Federal Budget, it must pass appropriation bills as a "stop gap. "

Polarization By Passing Light Through Polarizers
- What happens to these waves as they pass through the polarizer?
- The wave passes through untouched or manipulated.
- When wave b, the horizontally oscillating wave is passed through, the vertically polarized slot blocks the wave, and it is not passed through at all.
- Simply, passing light through a polarized material changes the intensity of the light.
- The original intensity of the light before it is passed through a filter is denoted by I0.
-
Phase-Contrast Microscopy
- In phase-contrast microscopy, parallel beams of light are passed through objects of different densities.
- The microscope contains special condensers that throw light "out of phase" causing it to pass through the object at different speeds.
- A phase ring in condenser allows a cylinder of light to pass through it while still in phase.
- Light that is slightly altered by passing through a different refractive index is allowed to pass through.
- Light passing through cellular structures, such as chromosomes or mitochondria is retarded because they have a higher refractive index than the surrounding medium.
-
Foramina
- The human skull has numerous holes known as foramina through which cranial nerves, arteries, veins, and other structures pass.
- The human skull has numerous foramina through which cranial nerves, arteries, veins, and other structures pass.
- Foramen magnum: Located in the occipital bone, it allows the passage of the spinal and vertebral arteries and the spinal cord to pass from the skull into the vertebral column.

Stem and Leaf Displays
- Consider Table 1 that shows the number of touchdown passes (TD passes) thrown by each of the 31 teams in the National Football League in the 2000 season.
- Together, they represent 12 data points, namely, two occurrences of 20 TD passes, three occurrences of 21 TD passes, three occurrences of 22 TD passes, one occurrence of 23 TD passes, two occurrences of 28 TD passes, and one occurrence of 29 TD passes.
- It stands for the last two entries in Table 1, namely 9 TD passes and 6 TD passes.
- The precise numbers of TD passes can be determined by examining the leaves.
- It compares the numbers of TD passes in the 1998 and 2000 seasons.

Problems
- Let's say that you have a blackbody spectrum of temperature $T$ of photons passing through a region of hot plasma ($T_e$).You can assume that $T \ll T_e \ll m c^2/k$.
- What is the brightness temperature of the photons in the Rayleigh-Jeans limit after passing through the plasma in terms of the Compton $y$-parameter?
- Let's suppose that the blackbody photons are from the cosmic microwave background.What is the difference in the brightness temperature of the photons that pass through the cluster and those that don't (including the sign)?
- What is the synchrotron emission from a single electron passing through a magnetic field in terms of the energy density of the magnetic field and the Lorentz factor of the electron?
- What is the inverse Compton emission from a single electron passing through a gas of photons field in terms of the energy density of the photons and the Lorentz factor of the electron?

Introduction to Sonata Theory
- Any dissonance must follow the pattern of the dissonant passing tone, explained below.
- All dissonant weak beats must be dissonant passing tones, so called because the counterpoint line passes from one consonant downbeat to another consonant downbeat by stepwise motion.
- The melodic interval from downbeat to downbeat in the counterpoint will always be a third, and the passing tone will come in the middle in order to fill that third with passing motion.
- A consonant passing tone outlines a third from downbeat to downbeat, and has the same pattern as the dissonant passing tone, except that all three tones (downbeat, passing tone, downbeat) are consonant with the cantus.
- A skipped passing tone outlines a fourth from downbeat to downbeat.

British Taxes and Colonial Grievances
- The soldiers' main purpose was to enforce the previous acts passed by Parliament.
- Following the Quartering Act, Parliament passed one of the most infamous pieces of legislation: the Stamp Act.
- Parliament repealed the Stamp Act but passed the Declaratory Act in its wake.
- The Townshend Acts, passed in 1767, taxed imports of tea, glass, paint, lead, and even paper.
- In 1773, Parliament passed the Tea Act, which exempted the British East India Company from the Townshend taxes.
