Thermoset, or thermosetting, plastics are synthetic materials that strengthen during being heated, but cannot be successfully remouldedor reheated after their initial heat-forming. This contrasts withthermoplastics, which soften when heated and harden and strengthen after cooling. Thermoplastics can be heated, shaped and cooled as often as necessary without causing a chemical change, while thermosetting plastics will burn when heated after the initial moulding.

Eating raises blood sugar levels, insulin stimulates the lowering of blood sugar level. In this example the response to the stimulus (increased blood sugar levels) opposes that stimulus (by lowering blood sugar levels).

Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.

Kelvin temperature scale is the temperature scale that is based upon absolute zero.

The India's commerce and industry ministry has started the exercise to revise base year to 2017-18 for computation of wholesale inflation with a view to present more realistic picture of the price situation

In May last year, the government revised the base year for WPI-based inflation to 2011-12 to give a better indication of changes in prices of commodities.

The new index, with 2017-18, is expected to have new items, which would provide a more realistic picture of price rise and its impact on people.

Most of the additions could be in the manufactured products category. Currently, the index has a total of 697 items, including primary articles, fuel and power and manufactured products.

To get the mass of a mole of NaCl, we need to add the molar atomic weights of the individual elements i.e, Na and Cl

Atomic weights of Na = 22.99 gm/mol  Cl = 35.45 gm/mol

Now, mass of a mole of NaCl = 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 gm/mol.

The ore which is found in abundance in India is monazite.
