The sublimated gases carry micron-sized dust grains to form an observable coma and tail during their perihelion passage. Infrared observations show that many JFCs exhibit a debris trail of up to cm-sized particles along the comet's orbit. When the Earth passes through a comet trail a meteor shower is observed. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_astronomy |

A common example is the C-loop motif, where the bulging loop residues make non-canonical base pairing with the bases of double helical regions forming non-canonical base pairing (Figure 9).

By combining Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope data, astronomers previously estimated that RX J1856 radiates like a solid body with a temperature of 700,000 °C and has a diameter of about 4–8 km. This estimated size was too small to reconcile with the standard models of neutron stars, and it was ther... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RX_J1856.5−3754 |
Iodyl fluoride can be decomposed by iodosyl trifluoride heated to 110 °C in nitrogen. Since this reaction is reversible, the reaction requires constant removal of iodine pentafluoride.2IOF3 ⇌ IO2F + IF5Dissolving the anhydride of iodic acid, I2O5, in anhydrous hydrofluoric acid.I2O5 + HF → IO2F + HIO3 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodyl_fluoride |

Modern mainframes, notably the IBM Z servers, offer two levels of virtualization: logical partitions (LPARs, via the PR/SM facility) and virtual machines (via the z/VM operating system). Many mainframe customers run two machines: one in their primary data center and one in their backup data center—fully active, partial... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainframe_server |
For example, the waggle dance plays a significantly larger role in foraging when food sources are not as abundant.
