At Standard conditions for temperature and pressure, it is a colorless liquid with a "sweet" smell that can be detected at low levels.
	Carbonara Carbonara is a traditional Italy pasta sauce. Carbonara comes from carbone, which is Italian language for coal, and many believe the dish derives its name because it was popular among charcoal makers. Others believe, however, that the dish is called carbonara simply because of all the black, freshly milled pepper that is used.

	Cardiac arrest A cardiac arrest, or circulatory arrest, is the abrupt cessation of normal circulation of the blood due to failure of the heart to contract effectively during Systole . The resulting lack of blood supply results in cell death from oxygen starvation. Cerebral hypoxia, or hypoxia supply to the brain, causes victims to unconsciousness and to respiratory arrest, which in turn causes the heart to stop.
	Cardiac cycle Cardiac cycle is the term used to describe the sequence of events that occur as a heart works to pump blood through the body. The frequency of the cardiac cycle is the heart rate. Every single 'beat' of the heart involves three major stages: atrial systole, ventricular systole and complete cardiac diastole. The term systole is synonymous with contraction of a muscle.
	Cardiac pacemaker The contractions of the heart are controlled by electrical impulses, these fire at a rate which controls the beat of the heart. The cells that create these rhythmical impulses are called pacemaker cells, and they directly control the heart rate. Artificial devices also called artificial pacemakers can be used after damage to the body's intrinsic conduction system to produce these impulses synthetically.
	Cardiacs Cardiacs are an England musical band formed in 1977. Combining the excitement and energy of punk rock with the intricacies and technical cleverness of early British progressive rock, a combination sometimes referred to as Pronk, although singer Tim Smith prefers the description psychedelic music, their sound is unique, varied, complex and intense.
	Cardiff Cardiff is the capital of Wales and its largest City status in the United Kingdom. Located on the south coast of Wales it is administered as a unitary authority.

That is, a cardioid is a curve that can be produced as a locus — by tracing the path of a chosen point of a circle which rolls without slipping around another circle which is fixed but which has the same radius as the rolling circle.
	Cardiology Cardiology is the branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the heart and blood vessels. The field is commonly divided in the branches of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology. Physicians specializing in this field of medicine are called cardiologists.
	Cardiopulmonary resuscitation Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency first aid protocol for an unconsciousness person on whom neither breathing nor pulse can be detected. The medical term for a patient whose heart has stopped is cardiac arrest , in which case CPR is used. If the patient still has a pulse, but is not breathing, this is called respiratory arrest and Rescue breathing is used.

While the flower buds can be eaten much as the artichoke, more often the stems are eaten after being blanching by being wrapped or buried in earth. Cardoon stalks can be covered with small, nearly invisible spines that can cause substantial pain if they become lodged in the skin of the hand.
