Title: Candidatus Content: Candidatus Latin for candidate of Roman office, named after the white gown worn by Roman senators is a term in the taxonomy (scientific classification) of bacteria. It is a label put before the name of a bacterium which cannot be grown on an agar plate or in any other bacteriology culture. An example would be "Candidatus Phytoplasma allocasuarinae".Notice the Candidatus is italicised but the name is not. Candidatus status may be used when a species or genus is well studied but cannot be cultured. Nowadays much information is got by 16S ribosomal RNA sequence analysis. == History == For correct publication of a species, bacteria must be isolated, cultured, described, and deposited in a bacteriology culture collection. However, some bacteria require special tissue culture conditions and cannot be maintained in Bacteriology Culture Collections. This includes bacteria which live inside other organisms or cells. These include obligately intracellular pathogens and endosymbionts, insect symbionts, and populations from oceans or sludge. In 1994, Murray and Schleifer published a taxonomic note.Murray R.G.E. and Schleifer K.H. 1994 Taxonomic notes: a proposal for recording the properties of putative taxa of procaryotes. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 44, 174-176 They recommended that the new category of indefinite rank (Candidatus) be established for certain putative taxa that could not be described in sufficient detail to warrant establishment of a new taxon. It was also recommended that a Candidatus list should be established in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology.Murray R.G.E. and Schleifer K.H. 1995 Taxonomic note: Implementation of the provisional status Candidatus for incompletely described procaryotes ; Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 45, 186-187Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology. Minutes of the Meetings, 2 and 6 July 1994; Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol., 1995, 45, 195-196. According to the "IRPCM Phytoplasma/Spiroplasma Working Team – Phytoplasma taxonomy group" the abbreviation for Candidatus should be Ca.The IRPCM Phytoplasma/Spiroplasma Working Team – Phytoplasma taxonomy group: 'Candidatus Phytoplasma', a taxon for the wall-less, non-helical prokaryotes that colonize plant phloem and insects.

Title: Plane (mathematics) Content: A plane is a perfectly flat surface extending in all directions. It can be thought of as the ceiling of a room, only extended into all directions infinitely. A plane has two dimensions: length and width. All planes are flat surfaces. If a surface is not flat, it is called a curved surface. The tool plane can be used to create a flat, level surface like the mathematical plane—hence the name. In geometry, a plane is made up of an infinite number of lines (or points). It has no depth. It is absolutely flat and infinitely large. A plane figure is part of a plane. It is named by the capital letters (such as A, B, C, ...X, Y, Z) that are put at its corners. Sometimes, a single capital pi \Pi is also used to refer to a plane. A plane can also be named after three points that are not all on the same line. In general, two planes can be: * Parallel (they never meet) * Concurrent (they meet forming a line) * Coincident (they are one and the same) == Plane in mathematics == In mathematics, a plane is a fundamental two-dimensional object. Intuitively, it looks like a flat infinite sheet of paper. There are several definitions of the plane. They are equivalent in the sense of Euclidean geometry, but they can be extended in different ways to define objects in other areas of mathematics. The only two-dimensional figure in our three-dimensional world is a shadow. In some areas of mathematics, such as plane geometry or 2D computer graphics, the whole space in which the work is carried out is a single plane. In such situations, the definite article is used: the plane. Many fundamental tasks in geometry, trigonometry and graphing are performed in the two dimensional space, or in other words, in the plane. == Euclidean geometry == A plane is a surface such that, given any three distinct points on the surface, the surface also contains all of the straight lines that pass through any two of them. One can introduce a Cartesian coordinate system on a given plane in order to label every point on it with a unique ordered pair, which is composed of two numbers and is the coordinate of the point. Within any Euclidean space, a plane is uniquely determined by any of the following combinations: * Three points which are not lying on the same line * A line and a point not on the line * Two different lines which intersect * Two different lines which are parallel * A vector normal to the plane and a distance from the origin ==Related pages== * Point (geometry) * Line

Title: Antares Telescope Content: The ANTARES Experiment is a telescope that is built at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. But it is not a normal telescope that uses light to see distant objects. Instead, it uses neutrinos, very small and light particles that can fly through the earth. The name comes from Astronomy with a Neutrino Telescope and Abyss environmental RESearch project. There is also a star called Antares. == Functions == It uses 900 light sensors attached to 12 strings that float in the sea to detect neutrinos. The strings are held onto the sea floor by an anchor and straight up by a buoy floating in the sea. Although the neutrinos are invisible, they can create a different particle, a muon, in water. The muon then gives off light by the Cherenkov effect because it travels faster than light in water. The sensors are so sensitive that they need only very little light and can even detect single photons. This is necessary because the muons produce only very little light. == Location == The detector is located in the Mediterranean, about 40 kilometres off Toulon in southern France. There the sea is 2500 metres deep. It is built by a group of physicists from 12 European countries. Currently, 10 strings are running. The last two strings will be installed in May 2008. == Trivia == It is the largest neutrino detector in the Northern hemisphere. Two similar detectors are located in the ice of the South Pole (AMANDA and IceCube).
Title: Johanna Triebels-Koen Content: Johanna Elisabeth Triebels-Koen (1865 – 3 June 1955) was a Dutch swimming feminist and figurehead of Dutch swimming. She was the founder and president of the Hollandsche Dames Zwemclub, the first women's swimming club in the Netherlands. She became known as the "swimming mother". ==Biography== In 1886 Triebels-Koen founded the Hollandsche Dames Zwemclub (HDZ), the first swimming club for women in the Netherlands. She was until a late age president of the club. She was able that the club grew out to a leading swimming club. She made it possible for women participate in the swimming disciplines that was taken seriously within the world of Dutch swimming. For instance the club already started competing internationally in 1912 at the 1912 Kleve international aquatics competitions. The first time a British water polo team played in the Netherlands was against HDZ in 1914. In this match Triebels-Koen was the referee. Several members of the club won international medals, including Jo Evelein and Loes Brandt at the 1922 Women's Olympiad. Triebels-Koen was not only interested in the competitive side of swimming, but also in safety. In that era, many Dutch people could not swim and women could not swim at all. In 1889, the Hollandsche Dames Zwemclub started promoting swimming by offering free lessons to (underprivileged) women and girls. In the 1930s her swimming lessons became known undr the slogan "Elke Nederlander Zwemmer" (translated: "Every Dutch swimmer"). In July 1914 Anna Helweg saved a 21-year old maid from drowning in the in Gorredijk, while male bystanders who couldn't swim did't dare to jump into the water. In 1929 she became treasurer of the swimming federation. She hold that position for nineteen years. Triebels-Koen was also a promotor of the second women's swimming club in the Netherlands (A.D.Z.). The "Mother Triebels Cup", a cup that could be won at annual HDZ swimming competitions, is named after her. In 1935 Triebels-Koen became Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau for her work. She became also an honorary member of the Dutch national swimming federation (KNZB). Triebels-Koen died after a long illness in The Hague on 3 June 1955, aged 89.

He took part in the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD,p16 and the Jewish rebellion of 66 AD.p29–38 While Vespasian was preparing to besiege Jerusalem during the latter campaign, emperor Nero committed suicide, plunging the empire into a year of civil war known as the Year of the Four Emperors. After the emperors Galba and Otho died in quick succession, Vitellius became emperor in April 69 AD. In response, the armies in Egypt and Judaea declared Vespasian emperor on July 1.p43 In his bid for imperial power, Vespasian joined forces with Mucianus, the governor of Syria, and Primus, a general in Pannonia. Primus and Mucianus led the Flavian forces against Vitellius, while Vespasian gained control of Egypt. On 20 December, Vitellius was defeated, and the following day Vespasian was declared emperor by the Roman Senate.

Title: Naphthalene Content: Naphthalene is a crystalline, white hydrocarbon, with a strong smell. It is best known as the main ingredient in mothballs, urinal deodorizer blocks, and can be used as an antiseptic. In mothballs, it is used as an insecticide or pesticide. Naphthalene is toxic. In humans, being exposed to naphthalene can destroy red blood cells. Naphthalene may also cause cancer. == History == In the early 1820s, two different papers are published on something that matches the description of Naphthalene. Both groups made it by distilling coal tar. In 1821 John Kidd cited both reports, and condensed their results to accurately describe the properties of naphthalene, and how to make it. Kidd named it naphthalene because "naphtha" means any explosive hydrocarbon mixture. By 1826, Michael Faraday discovered the formula for it. Emil Erlenmeyer proposes that it is two fused benzene rings in 1866, and Carl Gräbe confirms this three years later.

Barrington Tops sits on top of a volcano and reaches an altitude of 1586 m. At 3 December 1969 the region between Mount Barrington, Mount Royal and the Gloucester Tops was declared a national park. Since 1982 the park has been listed as part of the Gondwana rainforests of Australia as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; as such, it is the southernmost of the affiliated national parks. == History == The Barrington Tops area was home to various Aboriginal countries, namely the Worimi and Biripi in the east and the Wonnarua in the west. From around 1820, European settlers began to settle in the region, using the areas to cut logs and as grazing land for cattle. Gold was also searched here.

At altitudes of 700 to 1400 m there is cool temperate rainforest, where Nothofagus moorei predominates. This is followed by an alpine zone with alpine woodland and subalpine peat bogs in the summit regions. Eucalyptus forests with various species predominate across all heights: Sydney and Messmate eucalyptus dominate the valleys and on the slopes, and the southern beech also dominates the higher areas. On the other hand, the cold-resistant snow eucalyptus predominates on the plateau.
