wikipedia_2018-3308 | 2p − 3 + 1 . In the case of odd torsion there are more precise results ; in this case there is a big difference between odd and even dimensional spheres . If p is an odd prime and n = 2i + 1 , then elements of the p @-@ component of πn + k ( Sn ) have order at most pi ( Cohen , Moore & <unk> 1979 ) . This is in some sense the best possible result , as these groups are known to have elements of this order for some values of k ( Ravenel 2003 , p . 4 ) . Furthermore , the stable range can be extended in this case : if n is odd then the double suspension from πk ( Sn ) to πk + 2 ( Sn + 2 ) is an isomorphism of p @-@ components if k < p ( n + 1 ) − 3 , and an <unk> if equality holds ( Serre 1952 ) . The p @-@ torsion of the intermediate group πk + 1 ( Sn + 1 ) can be strictly larger . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3310 | In conjunction with his changes to poster display arrangements , Pick experimented with the positioning and sizing of station name signs on platforms , which were often inadequate in number or poorly placed . In 1908 , he settled on an arrangement where the sign was backed by a red disc to make it stand out clearly , creating the " bulls @-@ eye " device – the earliest form of what is today known as the roundel . In 1909 , Pick started to combine the " bulls @-@ eye " and the " UNDERGROUND " brand on posters and station buildings , but was not satisfied with the arrangement . By 1916 , he had decided to adapt the logo used by the LGOC , the Underground Group 's bus company , which was in the form of a ring with a bar bearing the name " GENERAL " across the centre . Pick commissioned Johnston to redesign the " bulls @-@ eye " and the form used today is based on that developed by Johnston and first used in 1919 . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3314 | Based on a decree by Emperor Francis II inflicting punishments on German subjects who collaborated with the French revolutionary government , Forster was declared an outlaw and placed under the Imperial ban ; a prize of 100 ducats was set on his head and he could not return to Germany . Devoid of all means of making a living and without his wife , who had stayed in Mainz with their children and her later husband Ludwig Ferdinand Huber , he remained in Paris . At this point the revolution in Paris had entered the Reign of Terror introduced by the Committee of Public Safety under the rule of Maximilien Robespierre . Forster had the opportunity to experience the difference between the promises of the revolution of happiness for all and its cruel practice . In contrast to many other German supporters of the revolution , like for instance Friedrich Schiller , Forster did not turn back from his revolutionary ideals under the pressure of the terror . He viewed the events in France as a force of nature that could not be slowed and that had to release its own energies to avoid being even more destructive . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3332 | Several critics have focused on the theme of motherhood . In " Mothers and Daughters / Aging and Dying " , Claire Sprague wrote that Lessing often dwells on the theme of mothers passing their behaviours onto their daughters , and how the cycle of daughters fighting their mothers permeates each generation . The British novelist Jane Rogers said that The Good Terrorist " is as unsparing and incisive about motherhood as it is about the extreme left " . She stated that motherhood here " is terrible " : Alice 's mother is reduced to despair continually yielding to her selfish daughter 's demands ; Alice mothers Jasper , and has a similar despairing relationship with him . Rogers added that motherhood is depicted here as a compulsion to protect the weak , despite their propensity to retaliate and hurt you . | wikipedia-2018 |

The dividend reached a maximum of 7 1 ⁄ 4 per cent in 1862 before dropping to 7 per cent the following year and 5 per cent in 1864 , but in 1865 the directors could not pay any dividend on ordinary shares . At the directors ' suggestion a committee was set up to look into their actions ; the report 's main recommendation was the abandonment of the Port Gordon extension . The opening of direct route over the Highland Railway to the south had lost the through mail business , resulting in the withdrawal of Sunday services , and had lost revenue equivalent to a five per cent dividend . Joining the Clearing House system had resulted in the loss of twenty @-@ five per cent of goods traffic income and the conflict over the joint station in Aberdeen had been expensive and resulted in an overpriced lease on the Deeside .

wikipedia_2018-3343 | The meat ant was first described in 1858 by British entomologist Frederick Smith in his Catalogue of <unk> Insects in the Collection of the British Museum part VI , under the binomial name Formica purpurea from a holotype worker ant he collected in Melbourne , Victoria . The type material is currently housed in the Natural History Museum , London . In 1862 , Austrian entomologist Gustav Mayr erected the genus Iridomyrmex , and reclassified the meat ant as a member of Iridomyrmex rather than the genus Formica . The ant was named Iridomyrmex purpurea in 1862 ; however , Mayr renamed the ant as Iridomyrmex purpureus one year after . I. purpureus was later classified as a synonym of Iridomyrmex detectus , and this taxon was designated as the type species of Iridomyrmex in 1903 . In 1993 , I. detectus was synonymised with I. purpureus and grouped into the I. purpureus species complex . I. detectus was described as a separate species by Smith the same year as I. purpureus from two syntype queens he collected from the Hunter River in New South Wales . Although the name I. purpureus was used by many authors , Karl Wilhelm von Dalla Torre reused I. detectus and this was adopted by several authors , replacing I. purpureus .
