sudd | part, the river meanders from side to side in the restraining trough in one or more channels, but further north the swamp is not limited by higher ground and the system of river channels becomes increasingly complex. the characteristics of the river with its network of channels and lagoons are distinguishable in satellite imagery and digital elevation models. the geology of the area is defined by heavy clay soils, highly impermeable with a top layer of " black cotton " vertisol of approximately 500 mm on average. sandy soils are found only at depths of approximately and below, as determined by well drilling profiles. this indicates a very limited groundwater influence on the area's hydrology. population nuer and dinka pastoralists use the sudd and the surrounding areas extensively. livestock and rain - fed agriculture are the dominant means of support for the largely rural population for which the seasonal flooded grasslands along the sudd provides valuable grazing lands. vegetation and ecosystem vegetation cover of the area can generally be classified in five categories which depend on the elevation of the area above river flood level : the lakes and rivers, the floating plant life of the swamp, river - flooded grasslands ( toic ), rain - flooded grasslands, and wooded grasslands on the fringes. grassland and woodland areas have been cultivated by local populations. the density of the grasslands along the sudd changes with the season, with tall grass in the rainy season and short dry grass in the dry season, when frequent fires also occur. the fluvial area is mostly overgrown with vegetation, with some main and side channels as well as lagoons of open water. the vegetation distribution is described in further detail in sutcliffe ( 1974 ) and petersen ( 2007 ). the main species are : phragmites communis ( shallow flooded, buried roots ) echinochloa pyramidalis ( shallow flooded, buried roots ) oryza barthii ( shallow flooded, buried roots ) echinochloa stagnina ( deep flooded, superficial / floating roots ) vossia cuspidata ( deep flooded, superficial / floating roots ) cyperus papyrus ( deep flooded, superficial / floating roots ) typha domingensis the first three species are anchored so their distribution is limited to | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudd | 4 |

gnu_go | gnu go is a free software program by the free software foundation that plays go. its source code is quite portable, and can be easily compiled for linux, as well as other unix - like systems, microsoft windows and macos ; ports exist for other platforms. the program plays go against the user, at about 5 to 7 kyu strength on the 9×9 board. multiple board sizes are supported, from 5×5 to 19×19. strength at this level of performance, gnugo was between six and seven stones weaker than the top commercial programs on good hardware as of early 2009, but comparable in strength to the strongest programs not using monte carlo methods. it did well at many computer go tournaments. for instance, it took the gold medal at the 2003 and 2006 computer olympiad and second place at the 2006 gifu challenge. protocols although ascii - based, gnu go supports two protocols — the go modem protocol and the go text protocol — by which guis can interface with it to give a graphical display. several such guis exist. gtp also allows it to play online on go servers ( through the use of bridge programs ), and copies can be found running on nngs, kgs, and probably others. versions the current ( stable ) version of gnu go is 3. 8. the latest experimental release was 3. 9. 1. there is also an experimental feature for using monte carlo methods for 9×9 board play. a version called pocket gnu go, based on gnu go 2. 6, is available for the windows ce operating system ( pocket pc ). versions based on the much weaker 1. 2 engine also exist for the game boy advance and palm pilot. see also computer go go go software gnu chess list of open source games references external links go engines go open - source video games linux games windows games macos games gp2x games game boy advance games | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU%20Go | 17 |
scalar_potential | ##al ( conservative ). scalar potentials play a prominent role in many areas of physics and engineering. the gravity potential is the scalar potential associated with the gravity per unit mass, i. e., the acceleration due to the field, as a function of position. the gravity potential is the gravitational potential energy per unit mass. in electrostatics the electric potential is the scalar potential associated with the electric field, i. e., with the electrostatic force per unit charge. the electric potential is in this case the electrostatic potential energy per unit charge. in fluid dynamics, irrotational lamellar fields have a scalar potential only in the special case when it is a laplacian field. certain aspects of the nuclear force can be described by a yukawa potential. the potential play a prominent role in the lagrangian and hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics. further, the scalar potential is the fundamental quantity in quantum mechanics. not every vector field has a scalar potential. those that do are called conservative, corresponding to the notion of conservative force in physics. examples of non - conservative forces include frictional forces, magnetic forces, and in fluid mechanics a solenoidal field velocity field. by the helmholtz decomposition theorem however, all vector fields can be describable in terms of a scalar potential and corresponding vector potential. in electrodynamics, the electromagnetic scalar and vector potentials are known together as the electromagnetic four - potential. integrability conditions if is a conservative vector field ( also called irrotational, curl - free, or potential ), and its components have continuous partial derivatives, the potential of with respect to a reference point is defined in terms of the line integral : where is a parametrized path from to, the fact that the line integral depends on the path only through its terminal points and is, in essence, the path independence property of a conservative vector field. the fundamental theorem of line integrals implies that if is defined in this way, then, so that is a scalar potential of the conservative vector field. scalar potential is not determined by the vector field alone : indeed, the gradient of a function is unaffected if a | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar%20potential | 5 |

fourier_transform | drawback of course is that one must first calculate the fourier transforms of the boundary conditions, then assemble the solution from these, and then calculate an inverse fourier transform. closed form formulas are rare, except when there is some geometric symmetry that can be exploited, and the numerical calculations are difficult because of the oscillatory nature of the integrals, which makes convergence slow and hard to estimate. for practical calculations, other methods are often used. the twentieth century has seen the extension of these methods to all linear partial differential equations with polynomial coefficients, and by extending the notion of fourier transformation to include fourier integral operators, some non - linear equations as well. fourier - transform spectroscopy the fourier transform is also used in nuclear magnetic resonance ( nmr ) and in other kinds of spectroscopy, e. g. infrared ( ftir ). in nmr an exponentially shaped free induction decay ( fid ) signal is acquired in the time domain and fourier - transformed to a lorentzian line - shape in the frequency domain. the fourier transform is also used in magnetic resonance imaging ( mri ) and mass spectrometry. quantum mechanics the fourier transform is useful in quantum mechanics in at least two different ways. to begin with, the basic conceptual structure of quantum mechanics postulates the existence of pairs of complementary variables, connected by the heisenberg uncertainty principle. for example, in one dimension, the spatial variable of, say, a particle, can only be measured by the quantum mechanical " position operator " at the cost of losing information about the momentum of the particle. therefore, the physical state of the particle can either be described by a function, called " the wave function ", of or by a function of but not by a function of both variables. the variable is called the conjugate variable to. in classical mechanics, the physical state of a particle ( existing in one dimension, for simplicity of exposition ) would be given by assigning definite values to both and simultaneously. thus, the set of all possible physical states is the two - dimensional real vector space with a - axis and a - axis called the phase space. in contrast, quantum mechanics chooses a polarisation of this space in the sense that it picks a subspace of one - | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier%20transform | 9 |

" even though the health benefits are not established, the use of high doses of vitamins is also common in people who have been diagnosed with cancer. according to cancer research uk, cancer patients should always seek professional advice before taking such supplements, and using them as a substitute for conventional treatment " could be harmful to [ their ] health and greatly reduce the chance of curing or controlling [ their ] cancer ". medical and scientific reception methodology orthomolecular therapies have been criticized as lacking a sufficient evidence base for clinical use : their scientific foundations are too weak, the studies that have been performed are too few and too open to interpretation, and reported positive findings in observational studies are contradicted by the results of more rigorous clinical trials. accordingly, " there is no evidence that orthomolecular medicine is effective ". proponents of orthomolecular medicine strongly dispute this statement by citing studies demonstrating the effectiveness of treatments involving vitamins, though this ignores the belief that a normal diet will provide adequate nutrients to avoid deficiencies, and that orthomolecular treatments are not actually related to vitamin | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthomolecular%20medicine | 3 |

ktxa | sold the pair to the gulf broadcast group for $ 158 million in may 1984. the sale was held up for several months at the fcc, which conditioned the purchase on gulf divesting fm stations in both cities. the sale price was considered unprecedented given the short period of operation of the stations. gulf had scarcely owned the stations when it sold its entire stations group for $ 755 million to taft broadcasting in 1985. at the same time taft acquired a fort worth television station, it attracted the attention of an activist investor from the city who increased his stake over the course of 1985 and 1986 : robert bass, who sought to raise his ownership in the company to 25 percent. meanwhile, in addition to a worsening regional economy, the independent television market nationally was softening ; by this time, many believed that taft had overpaid for ktxa and that dallas – fort worth had become one of the worst markets for independent stations in the united states. bill castleman, ktxa's general manager, believed that the station's programming costs — estimated at $ 30 million a year — had been deliberately increased as part of a strategy by grant to pump the station up for a buyer by expanding its programming inventory, a situation which taft had not anticipated discovering prior to the acquisition. taft put its broadcast group up for sale in august 1986 due to agitation by bass, and while it asked $ 500 million for five independent stations, the winning bidder — tvx broadcast group — only paid $ 240 million, and taft estimated its after - tax loss for the sale at $ 45 to $ 50 million. ( one source believed that the buyers begrudgingly purchased ktxa in order to acquire the other four outlets. ) tvx implemented budget cuts, laying off about 15 percent of the staff at the acquisitions, and renegotiated programming costs, though tim mcdonald, the president of tvx, noted that ktxa was among the better operations taft had sold. through the 1980s, ktxa continued to air local sports programming. the nba's dallas mavericks moved to ktxa in 1984 after their previous station, kxas - tv, came under pressure to stop preempting nbc network shows ; channel 21 carried | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KTXA | 5 |

singular_spectrum_analysis | in time series analysis, singular spectrum analysis ( ssa ) is a nonparametric spectral estimation method. it combines elements of classical time series analysis, multivariate statistics, multivariate geometry, dynamical systems and signal processing. its roots lie in the classical karhunen ( 1946 ) – loeve ( 1945, 1978 ) spectral decomposition of time series and random fields and in the mane ( 1981 ) – takens ( 1981 ) embedding theorem. ssa can be an aid in the decomposition of time series into a sum of components, each having a meaningful interpretation. the name " singular spectrum analysis " relates to the spectrum of eigenvalues in a singular value decomposition of a covariance matrix, and not directly to a frequency domain decomposition. brief history the origins of ssa and, more generally, of subspace - based methods for signal processing, go back to the eighteenth century ( prony's method ). a key development was the formulation of the spectral decomposition of the covariance operator of stochastic processes by kari karhunen and michel loeve in the late 1940s ( loeve, 1945 ; karhunen, 1947 ). broomhead and king ( 1986a, b ) and fraedrich ( 1986 ) proposed to use ssa and multichannel ssa ( m - ssa ) in the context of nonlinear dynamics for the purpose of reconstructing the attractor of a system from measured time series. these authors provided an extension and a more robust application of the idea of reconstructing dynamics from a single time series based on the embedding theorem. several other authors had already applied simple versions of m - ssa to meteorological and ecological data sets ( colebrook, 1978 ; barnett and hasselmann, 1979 ; weare and nasstrom, 1982 ). ghil, vautard and their colleagues ( vautard and ghil, 1989 ; ghil and vautard, 1991 ; vautard et al., 1992 ; ghil et al., 2002 ) noticed the analogy between the trajectory matrix of broomhead and king, on the one hand, and the karhunen – loeve decomposition ( principal component analysis in the time | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular%20spectrum%20analysis | 12 |

easterlin_paradox | for less developed countries and countries transitioning from socialism to capitalism. the original conclusion for the united states was based on data from 1946 to 1970 ; later evidence through 2014 confirmed the initial finding — the trend in united states happiness has been flat or even slightly negative over a roughly seven decades stretch in which real incomes more than tripled. the time series conclusion of the paradox refers to long - term trends. as the economy expands and contracts, fluctuations in happiness occur together with those in income, but the fluctuations in income occur around a rising trend line, whereas those in happiness take place around a horizontal trend. possible explanations a couple of explanations for the paradox have been offered. the first explanation draws on the effect of social comparison. the effect of additional money on how we feel about our lives is not just about how wealthy we are in absolute terms, but how wealthy we are compared to other people. the second explanation appeals to hedonic adaptation and the fact that people get used to having more income and higher living standards. for example, the theory of hedonic adaption would suggest that progress from iphone 5s, to iphone 6s, to iphone 7s, to iphone 8s and so on, have not made a lasting improvement to happiness. criticism objections to the paradox focus on the time series generalization, that trends in happiness and income are not related. in a 2008 article economists betsey stevenson and justin wolfers state that “ the core of the easterlin paradox lies in easterlin ’ s failure to isolate statistically significant relationships between average levels of happiness and economic growth through time, ” and present time series evidence of a significant positive statistical association between happiness and income. a 2012 article by the same authors and daniel sacks returns to this time series criticism with new data, though at times the article asserts that the paradox is a contradiction between two types of cross - section evidence — data for persons and for countries. outside of economics, two founding fathers in the study of self - reported happiness, ed diener in psychology, and ruut veenhoven in sociology, have each, with their collaborators, also presented evidence of a significantly positive time series relationship. a rebuttal by easterlin points out that these studies do not focus on | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easterlin%20paradox | 5 |

effects_of_nafta_on_mexico | from united states agriculture. during the time following the passage of nafta, internal manufacturing employment fell by 44, 000 while employment at foreign - owned manufacturing firms grew by approximately half a million jobs. overall employment growth remained sluggish following the passage of nafta. additionally, the opening up of the mexican market decreased internal industrial production, as more international firms imported cheaper components into mexico to use at assembly plants ; despite increased manufacturing, firms used fewer mexican components. labor productivity growth has remained low, due largely in part to the dominance of foreign driven manufacturing and the stable but low wages that comes with manufacturing jobs. the labor side agreement within nafta also affected the ability of workers to organize into unions, which in turn affected the quality of work available for workers. this agreement, along with the rest of nafta, made it harder for the mexican government to neglect following its own labor laws. furthermore, the passage of nafta made it advantageous for established factories and manufacturing plants to move from southern and central mexico to northern mexico closer to the border where collective bargaining was harder due to migration and ease of recruitment for low - wage jobs. overall, unionization amongst the working population has decreased from 22. 4 percent in the early 1990s to 13 percent in 2012. wages for workers at jobs made possible by nafta have largely remained lower than at equivalent jobs in the united states. by permanently tying mexican economic growth to an export - heavy model, new jobs created under nafta have largely been in the low - wage manufacturing sector, with real manufacturing wages falling to 12 percent below the 1994 level by 2002. economists in mexico have argued that the growth and higher salaries that the act should have created have failed to materialize for the workers of mexico. wages in mexico have stagnated as well in the years following the passage of nafta, and inequality in the country still remains high, a trend that mirrors the economic trends in the united states. overall, new income is distributed upwards, so new wealth is not distributed to the vast majority of mexican workers. due to this phenomenon, those who would benefit the most by expressing themselves politically face increased barriers to entry into the political system due to social isolation and lack of influence | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects%20of%20NAFTA%20on%20Mexico | 8 |

reasons_for_the_failure_of_british_caledonian | scheduled route network in his capacity as that airline's managing director. in those days very limited opportunities existed for wholly privately owned, independent airlines to provide fully fledged scheduled air services on major domestic and international trunk routes. this resulted in a poor fit of many routes in bua's network of scheduled services, thereby making it difficult to offer sensible connections that could be marketed to the travelling public. it also represented the best network structure sir freddie was able to put in place under the then prevailing regulatory regime. the resulting network of domestic, european and intercontinental long - haul scheduled services from gatwick was a motley collection of routes. this made it difficult to develop profitable streams of transfer traffic using gatwick as a hub. therefore, it was a challenge to persuade people to fly to gatwick from relatively minor places like genoa or jersey in order to make an onward connection at the airport to secondary places in africa or south america, and an even greater challenge to do this profitably. at the height of its commercial success in the late 1970s and early 1980s, bcal focussed on those routes that carried a very high proportion of profitable, oil - related, premium business traffic. it even managed to become the preferred airline for high - ranking oil industry executives based in texas, by providing convenient, hassle - free connections between houston / dallas, lagos and tripoli via the airline's gatwick base. however, this initially successful strategy made the company dependent for most of its profits on a small number of markets whose fortunes were tied to the commodity price cycle, in unstable parts of the world,. although this worked in bcal's favour when the price of a barrel of crude oil was high during the late 1970s / early 1980s, it worked against it when the oil price collapsed in the mid - 1980s. it also further compounded the firm's growing financial problems at the time, culminating in the financial crisis that led to its takeover by ba. despite bcal being awarded several licences to commence scheduled services on a number of high - profile long - haul routes with a good mix of business and leisure traffic, the government made little or no attempt to assist the airline in obtaining reciprocal traffic rights from overseas governments that would have | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasons%20for%20the%20failure%20of%20British%20Caledonian | 4 |
retrieval_data_structure | in computer science, a retrieval data structure, also known as static function, is a space - efficient dictionary - like data type composed of a collection of ( key, value ) pairs that allows the following operations : construction from a collection of ( key, value ) pairs retrieve the value associated with the given key or anything if the key is not contained in the collection update the value associated with a key ( optional ) they can also be thought of as a function for a universe and the set of keys where retrieve has to return for any value and an arbitrary value from otherwise. in contrast to static functions, amq - filters support ( probabilistic ) membership queries and dictionaries additionally allow operations like listing keys or looking up the value associated with a key and returning some other symbol if the key is not contained. as can be derived from the operations, this data structure does not need to store the keys at all and may actually use less space than would be needed for a simple list of the key value pairs. this makes it attractive in situations where the associated data is small ( e. g. a few bits ) compared to the keys because we can save a lot by reducing the space used by keys. to give a simple example suppose video game names annotated with a boolean indicating whether the game contains a dog that can be petted are given. a static function built from this database can reproduce the associated flag for all names contained in the original set and an arbitrary one for other names. the size of this static function can be made to be only bits for a small which is obviously much less than any pair based representation. examples a trivial example of a static function is a sorted list of the keys and values which implements all the above operations and many more. however, the retrieve on a list is slow and we implement many unneeded operations that can be removed to allow optimizations. furthermore, we are even allowed to return junk if the queried key is not contained which we did not use at all. perfect hash functions another simple example to build a static function is using a perfect hash function : after building the phf for our keys, store the corresponding values at the correct position for the key. as can be | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval%20Data%20Structure | 3 |

gene_regulatory_network | principle has been put in the service of gene cascades that control body - shape. each time a cell divides, two cells result which, although they contain the same genome in full, can differ in which genes are turned on and making proteins. sometimes a'self - sustaining feedback loop'ensures that a cell maintains its identity and passes it on. less understood is the mechanism of epigenetics by which chromatin modification may provide cellular memory by blocking or allowing transcription. a major feature of multicellular animals is the use of morphogen gradients, which in effect provide a positioning system that tells a cell where in the body it is, and hence what sort of cell to become. a gene that is turned on in one cell may make a product that leaves the cell and diffuses through adjacent cells, entering them and turning on genes only when it is present above a certain threshold level. these cells are thus induced into a new fate, and may even generate other morphogens that signal back to the original cell. over longer distances morphogens may use the active process of signal transduction. such signalling controls embryogenesis, the building of a body plan from scratch through a series of sequential steps. they also control and maintain adult bodies through feedback processes, and the loss of such feedback because of a mutation can be responsible for the cell proliferation that is seen in cancer. in parallel with this process of building structure, the gene cascade turns on genes that make structural proteins that give each cell the physical properties it needs. overview at one level, biological cells can be thought of as " partially mixed bags " of biological chemicals – in the discussion of gene regulatory networks, these chemicals are mostly the messenger rnas ( mrnas ) and proteins that arise from gene expression. these mrna and proteins interact with each other with various degrees of specificity. some diffuse around the cell. others are bound to cell membranes, interacting with molecules in the environment. still others pass through cell membranes and mediate long range signals to other cells in a multi - cellular organism. these molecules and their interactions comprise a gene regulatory network. a typical gene regulatory network looks something like this : the nodes of this network can represent genes, proteins, mrnas, | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene%20regulatory%20network | 3 |

first_person_shooter | a rudimentary space flight simulator for up to 32 players, featuring a first - person perspective. both games were distinct from modern first - person shooters, involving simple tile - based movement where the player could only move from square to square and turn in 90 - degree increments. such games spawned others that used similar visuals to display the player as part of a maze ( such as akalabeth : world of doom in 1979 ), and were loosely called " rat's eye view " games, since they gave the appearance of a rat running through a maze. another crucial early game that influenced first - person shooters was wayout. it featured the player trying to escape a maze, using ray casting to render the environment, simulating visually how each wall segment would be rendered relative to the player's position and facing angle. this allowed more freeform movement compared to the grid - based and cardinal maze war and spasim. a slightly more sophisticated first - person shooting mainframe game was panther ( 1975 ), a tank simulator for the plato system. atari's first - person tank shooter arcade video game battlezone ( 1980 ) was released for arcades and presented using a vector graphics display, with the game designed by ed rotberg. it is considered to be the first successful first - person shooter video game, making it a milestone for the genre. it was primarily inspired by atari's top - down arcade shooter game tank ( 1974 ). the original arcade cabinet also employed a periscope viewfinder similar to submarine shooting arcade games such as midway's video game sea wolf ( 1976 ) and sega's electro - mechanical game periscope ( 1966 ). battlezone became the first successful mass - market game featuring a first - person viewpoint and wireframe 3d graphics, with a version later released for home computers in 1983. early first - person shooters : 1987 – 1992 midi maze, a first - person shooter released in 1987 for the atari st, featured maze - based gameplay and character designs similar to pac - man, but displayed in a first - person perspective. later ported to various systems — including the game boy and super nes under the title faceball 2000 — it featured the first network multiplayer deathmatches, using | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-person%20shooter | 3 |

battle_circuit | venus flytrap with leglike roots, a small lizardlike growth on its neck and a large eye in its abdomen. its attacks mostly center around its vinelike arms, which it can quickly swing to create whirlwinds, as well as grab opponents and slam them against the ground. development battle circuit was initially developed as a racing game for up to 8 players, with artwork by haruki suetsugu. despite being completed, this version of the game was never released. in 1997, work began on a new version of battle circuit. this version was developed by producers noritaka funamizu and yoshiki okamoto of capcom's arcade production team. while structurally very similar to the company's early scrolling action games like final fight and alien vs. predator, battle circuit is set apart stylistically by employing a manga - style science fiction approach to story and character artwork. ikeno metaka, overseen by ohnishi hiroki and yamamoto kouji, created an assortment of characters with features reminiscent of older capcom characters and superfluous comic book elements. the game saw a speedy translation effort that effectively made the title available in both japan and parts of europe on the same day. though there are no game play differences between the japanese and english - language versions of the game, a few pieces of japanese dialogue were omitted from the european release. the game was not released in north american arcades or any other part of the world. moreover, even at the time of its release in arcades, capcom stated it had no plans to release the game for home consoles. on september 18, 2018, it was released on capcom beat'em up bundle digitally for the playstation 4, nintendo switch, xbox one and microsoft windows. battle circuits background music was composed by syun nishigaki of capcom arcade sound team, and has a recurring pop and electronic theme present throughout the game. the music was recorded using only synth - based computer generated sound, a common recording medium for arcade games on the cps - 2. an official soundtrack entitled battle circuit original soundtrack ( catalog number vicl - 60056 ) was released commercially in japan by victor entertainment on july 2, 1997 and retailed for ¥2 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle%20Circuit | 4 |
kathleen_rubins | analysis of a family of viruses including the smallpox virus. the researchers utilized fluorescent protein - based reporters to monitor and analyze the function of the vaccinia virus. this study was important in starting to work on treatment for diseases like mpox. the mpox is a zoonotic disease originating from the rainforest around central and west africa. one can contract mpox when coming in contact with the virus from an animal, human, or any material that has been infected with the virus. in 2003, there was a small mpox outbreak in the united states, which provided more motivation for the study to be conducted. the results of this study provided useful information for the tracking of viral activity and replication., there is still no cure for mpox, but it can be controlled. rubins was a part of the research team that investigated the effects of microgravity on rna isolation and pcr analysis. the experiments occurred between april 19 and may 3, 2017. operations required the use of the wetlab - 2 hardware suite consisting of microgravity - compatible stt ( act2 or finger loop syringe ), spm, bubble - removing pipette loader ( pl ), reaction tube centrifugation rotor and a cepheid smartcycler® for thermocycling / fluorescence readout. this study was conducted while on board the international space station ( iss ). the experiment performed was one of the first successful ones in the wetlab - 2, a research station built for microbiology in space. the results of this study were incredibly valuable for the future of space exploration and analysis of space environment samples. nasa career rubins was selected in july 2009 as one of 14 members of nasa astronaut group 20. she graduated from astronaut candidate training, where her training included international space station ( iss ) systems, extravehicular activity ( eva ), robotics, physiological training, t - 38 flight training and water and wilderness survival training. she also participated in the fourth edition of the esa pangaea training program ( september and november 2021 ). together with the esa astronaut andreas mogensen, rubins went to the italian dolomites, to the ries crater in germany and the volcanic landscapes of lan | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen%20Rubins | 2 |
grabcut | grabcut is an image segmentation method based on graph cuts. starting with a user - specified bounding box around the object to be segmented, the algorithm estimates the color distribution of the target object and that of the background using a gaussian mixture model. this is used to construct a markov random field over the pixel labels, with an energy function that prefers connected regions having the same label, and running a graph cut based optimization to infer their values. as this estimate is likely to be more accurate than the original, taken from the bounding box, this two - step procedure is repeated until convergence. estimates can be further corrected by the user by pointing out misclassified regions and rerunning the optimization. the method also corrects the results to preserve edges. there are several open source implementations available including opencv ( as of version 2. 1 ). see also connectivity ( graph theory ) prim's algorithm edmonds – karp algorithm graph cuts in computer vision references c. rother, v. kolmogorov, and a. blake, grabcut : interactive foreground extraction using iterated graph cuts, acm trans. graph., vol. 23, pp. 309 – 314, 2004. image segmentation | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GrabCut | 7 |

gis_and_environmental_governance | geographic information system ( gis ) is a commonly used tool for environmental management, modelling and planning. as simply defined by michael goodchild, gis is as " a computer system for handling geographic information in a digital form ". in recent years it has played an integral role in participatory, collaborative and open data philosophies. social and technological evolutions have elevated digital and environmental agendas to the forefront of public policy, the global media and the private sector. government departments routinely use digital spatial platforms to plan and model proposed changes to road networks, building design, greenbelt land, utility provision, crime prevention, energy production, waste management and security. non - profit organizations also incorporate geospatial and web - mapping approaches into political campaigns to lobby governments, to protest against socially or environmentally harmful companies, and to generate public support. private business, whether in land management, resource extraction, retail, manufacturing or social media for example, also incorporate gis into overall profit - making strategies. citizen science and gis citizen science is part of the wider emphasis upon public involvement in expert fields across western democracies. the term is " often used to describe communities or networks of citizens who act as observers in some domain of science ". although more narrowly used to describe the shift to specifically user - generated forms of knowledge creation, it has been routinely invoked in both the public participatory gis and environmental governance literature at large. national audubon society : gulf spill bird tracker much of the citizen science literature is grounded in wildlife study. for example, goodchild references the national audubon society's christmas bird count ( cbc ) as a classic case of citizen science in action. each year over the winter period, the american conservation organization encourages volunteer bird - watchers to gather information on the number of bird species in their local area. once field data has been collected, each volunteer is able to submit their bird sightings into an online database, for the benefit of both scientific researchers and bird enthusiasts. the ebird project – enabling the general public to explore a range of map - and chart - based bird species datasets – is a result of these yearly mass volunteer events. of particular interest is the gulf | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIS%20and%20environmental%20governance | 8 |
polyadenylation | type of large biological molecules, whose individual building blocks are called nucleotides. the name poly ( a ) tail ( for polyadenylic acid tail ) reflects the way rna nucleotides are abbreviated, with a letter for the base the nucleotide contains ( a for adenine, c for cytosine, g for guanine and u for uracil ). rnas are produced ( transcribed ) from a dna template. by convention, rna sequences are written in a 5 ′ to 3 ′ direction. the 5 ′ end is the part of the rna molecule that is transcribed first, and the 3 ′ end is transcribed last. the 3 ′ end is also where the poly ( a ) tail is found on polyadenylated rnas. messenger rna ( mrna ) is rna that has a coding region that acts as a template for protein synthesis ( translation ). the rest of the mrna, the untranslated regions, tune how active the mrna is. there are also many rnas that are not translated, called non - coding rnas. like the untranslated regions, many of these non - coding rnas have regulatory roles. nuclear polyadenylation function in nuclear polyadenylation, a poly ( a ) tail is added to an rna at the end of transcription. on mrnas, the poly ( a ) tail protects the mrna molecule from enzymatic degradation in the cytoplasm and aids in transcription termination, export of the mrna from the nucleus, and translation. almost all eukaryotic mrnas are polyadenylated, with the exception of animal replication - dependent histone mrnas. these are the only mrnas in eukaryotes that lack a poly ( a ) tail, ending instead in a stem - loop structure followed by a purine - rich sequence, termed histone downstream element, that directs where the rna is cut so that the 3 ′ end of the histone mrna is formed. many eukaryotic non - coding rnas are always polyadenylated at the end of transcription. there are small rnas where the poly ( a ) tail is seen only in intermediary forms and not in the mature rna as | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyadenylation | 4 |
