maps whose rank is generically maximal , but drops at certain singular points , occur frequently in coordinate systems . for example , in spherical geometry , the rank of the map from the right pole to a point on the sphere ( formally , a map t² → s² from the left pole to the sphere ) is 3 at most points , but is only 1 at the north and south poles ( pole and pole points ) . a very simple example is in notation on so ( 3 ) , the orthogonal subgroup . this use occurs widely in engineering , due to 3 - dimensional spaces also being heavily used in engineering , nautical engineering , and mechanical engineering , among many other fields . in geometry , so ( 3 ) is the real projective space of points r , and it is often ===used=== to define a rotation by a combination of rational numbers , known as euler polynomials ( in some applications ) , both because this is conceptually simple , and because one can build a combination of three gimbals to produce rotations in 2 dimensions . thus , this corresponds to a map from the three - dimensional space t³ of three points to the real projective space rp³ of rotations , but this map does not have rank 1 at all points ( formally because it cannot be a covering map , as the only ( non - maximal ) covering space is the hypersphere of curves ) , and the case of the rank dropping to 1 at most points is referred to in literature as a minor - decomposition .

with few exceptions ( e . g . , deoxyribose ) , monosaccharides have this chemical formula : ( ch₂o ) ₓ , where conventionally x ≥ 3 . ( x ≥ 4 ) can be classified by the number number of carbons they contain : triose ( 3 ) , polyoseose ( 4 ) , polyose ( 5 ) , polyoseose ( 6 ) , heptose ( 7 ) , and so on . the most important sugars in the body , however , is a hexose . examples of such important acids are the methyl alcohols , the methyl ethers , and sedoheptulose . the same as in molecules with three or more carbons are rarely ===used=== as they are quite unstable . in well heated water , the three carbons cannot exist as rings if they have a few additional carbons .


in 2002 , rumors began about discoveries of a new type of large serrated shark teeth pertaining to an undescribed species of mackerel shark from miocene deposits in south carolina by amateur collectors and fossil dealers . while these fossils were often dismissed as teeth from other sharks such as the megalodon and the saber - toothed mako ( probably c . l . sp . ) , a consensus was made that they were distinct from a similar fossil specimen of the giant tiger shark , " the giant " shark . despite the large support received by many collectors and fossil dealers , such ===claims=== remained a controversial topic in the media for many years . in 2014 , a fossil dealer named david van santen showed a single tooth to another and fellow collector , david ward in hopes that it would receive a formal description . ward initially discussed its research with his friend bretton kent . the following year in october 2015 , ward and kent delivered a paper to the journal of comparative marine environmental biology , formally reporting the existence of a new species of thresher shark based on the owners ' ' tooth and skeletal remains recovered during research and in september , the two published a second description erecting the taxon a . major palatasi as a new species of a . majori .


the prospect of the introduction of a general circulation fourpence coin was raised in 1835 , when the mp joseph hume spoke in parliament in favour of its introduction . his recommendation was that the coin was suitable for collecting cab fare . the coin was first introduced in 1836 , but proved unpopular with cab drivers as they now only received a fourpence as payment , whereas previously they would often receive a sixpence without the demand for change . the threepence was introduced in 1838 to " obtain the convenience for the purpose of transportation " . this new coin was much more ===expensive=== than the original three shillings , and by the early 1850s it was decided there was no need for both types . the first regular issue of the new coins was made in 1854 , although new coins were minted in 1859 and 1866 . in 1888 a further request was made for a new variety to be minted for circulation in british guiana and the british west indies . the groat remained in circulation in british guiana until that country adopted the decimal system in 1971 .

following the defeat of the social democratic party of japan ( sdpj ) in 1948 at the hands of japan ' s two main conservative parties , the liberal party and the democrat party , the japan socialist party dissolved into chaos and internal bickering between moderates and marxist - leninists . as a result , the sdpj split : some of its members formed a moderate and almost universally right social - democratic party , while others formed a more conservative , liberal , and more strongly leftist organization . both groups claimed the name " the rightists " and are known as the rightist socialist party of japan and leftist party japan socialist party , respectively . the left - wing in japan was in turmoil with the communist party , and in 1960 , the rightist socialists and the democratic socialists ===left=== and merged to reform the party again , shortly before the liberal democratic party was formed through a merger of the liberal and democrat parties . the leftists now had the upper hand in the reunified party leadership , causing a few rightists to leave the party in 1960 to create the radical socialists party .

in greek mythology and religion , the thiasus ( greek thiasos ) , was the ecstatic retinue of dionysus , often pictured as inebriated revelers . many of the stories of the greek epic are connected with his triumph in the form of a procession . the grandest such ===event=== was his triumphant return from " exile " , which provided early visual evidence of the roman triumph and was described in rapturous terms in virgilius ' s poem ad 15 . in this scene , dionysus rides a chariot , often pursued by big animals such as tigers , wild boar , or lions . the thiasos of the sea of poseidon is depicted as a lavish wedding night , with amphitrite , attended by others such as sea - gods neptune and hippocamps . in historical athenian society , thiasoi ( plural ) were religious groups whose existence was restricted by tradition .


neodymium - doped yttrium lithium fluoride ( nd : ylf ) is a lasing medium for arc lamp - pumped and diode - pumped solid - state lasers . lithium aluminium chloride dioxide ( li - csf ) is naturally birefringent , and commonly used laser pulse occur at 1047 nm and 1053 nm . it is used in q - switched lasers in part due to its relatively long fluorescence lifetime . as with nd : yag lasers , harmonic generation is often used with q - switched nd : ff pulses to achieve longer pulses . a commercial application of frequency - ===switching=== nd : ff laser pulses is to power ultrafast ruby : sapphire , frequency controlled - power lasers . the sapphire diamond - based ruby laser pulses can achieve higher pulse energies than ruby diamond : sapphire lasers for pulse rates of a few khz or less . compared to nd : ff pulses , the nd : ylf crystal is very brittle and fractures easily . it is also slightly water - soluble — a heated ruby laser and may very easily dissolve in cooling water which surrounds it .


initial construction of the mahmoudiya mosque is said to have occurred in 1730 on the orders of governor sheikh muhammad al - khalili . a sabil ( inscription ) , carved in the west wall of the mosque , is attributed to ali muhammad ali pasha , governor of gaza in the period between 1775 and 1783 ce . most of the present structure was built in 1812 by the ottoman governor of gaza and its emir , ahmed ali bey of sanjak . the octagonal tower , located in the western part of the church , with its octagonal dome and large rectangular prayer hall covered by two smaller octagonal domes , and with its square tower , are accredited to him . traces of ===its=== construction are hardly noticeable , but research contends that abu - nabbut ' s mosque was built on the site of a previous mosque that belonged to the bibi family of gaza city . the mosque reuses roman columns from roman jerusalem and ashkelon .
