The Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet is a way to write the Romanian language that was used in the Soviet Union. It was officially used from 1924 to 1932 and from 1938 to 1989. It is still used today in the region of Transnistria. History. Before the 19th century, Romanian was written with a version of the Cyrillic alphabet. In the 19th century, Romania switched to a Latin alphabet. However, the Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet was created in the 1920s for the Moldavian ASSR. This was to make Moldovan different from Romanian. It was replaced by a Latin alphabet in 1932 but brought back in 1938.  After the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, it was used in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic until 1989 when it switched back to the Latin alphabet. Today, Transnistria still uses the Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet for official documents. Description. The Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet is mostly like the Russian alphabet, but it does not have the letters Ё, Щ, and Ъ. It also has the letter zhe with breve: Ӂ ӂ. Here is a table showing the Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet and its Latin equivalents:
"Fusarium" is a group of fungal species ("Fusarium" spp.) that can infect both plants and human beings. Two species of "fusarium" known as "Fusarium" graminearum ("F." graminearum) and "F." oxysporum were listed in the top ten for a list of molecular plant pathogens based on both scientific and economic importance. Their effects are almost worldwide as "Fusarium" infections of plants occur in almost all climates. They can infect a wide range of plants, as the American Phytological Society reports that 83/108 plant species have their production affected by "Fusarium". The genus "Fusarium". "Fusarium" spp. used to have two different names based on what reproductive stage they were in. However, this naming system was removed, so now most species only have their "Fusarium" name. There are more than 70 defined species of "Fusarium". "Fusarium" spp. can be identified in their spore form under the microscope by how they group up to form banana-shaped clusters. "Fusarium" disease in plants. The disease caused by "fusarium" in the plant are dependent on where the infection is. For example, there are head, grain, and seed blights in cereal crops. Different types of cereal crops are susceptible to specific species. For example, "F." graminearum targets wheat crops. Infection of the roots can cause vascular wilt, which is where movement of water to parts of the plant is blocked, causing wilting. For trees, canker disease causes lesions on branches. One of the most devastating diseases is "fusarium" head blight (FHB). FHB is also known as scab  The effect of "Fusarium" in agriculture. "Fusarium" has many negative impacts on crop production. It decreases global crop yield every year by up to 50%. This can be due to "Fusarium" killing the plant through something like stem rot causing the plant to collapse. Or, through stunting the growth of the plant. This is because "Fusarium"
Thiobacillus is a genus of bacteria which obtain energy through oxidisation of reduced sulfur compounds. This is sulfur with extra electrons. "Thiobacillus" species (spp.) exist in any environment with a source of reduced sulfur such as soils, hydrothermal vents, and sludge disposal sites. "Thiobacillus" spp. grow best in temperatures from 28-32 °C, and pHs 2-8.   To identify "Thiobacillus" spp., they can be viewed under a microscope. First, they need to be coloured with a gram stain. After staining, "Thiobacillus" spp. appear rod-shaped, and pink. Pink means gram-negative and indicates no outer cell wall. Classification. As of date, there are three established species of "Thiobacillus" genus: "T." "denitrificans", "T." "thioparus", "T." "thiophilus", and two candidates: "T." "plumbophilus", "T." "sajanensis". These candidate species need to have their research papers verified. Historically, many species were classified under this genus. However, after the development of a new RNA sequencing technology known as “16S ribosomal RNA sequencing”, most were reclassified into new or existing genera. Confusingly, the older names of these reclassified bacteria are still used in the literature. For example, "Acidithiobacillus ferooxidans" is sometimes referred to as "Thiobacillus" "ferooxidans". However, they are no longer part of the "Thiobacillus" genus.    Many of the former members were mixotrophs. However, the remaining three species are completely reliant on carbon fixation, meaning the entire "Thiobacillus" genus can now be described as obligate autotrophs.   Sulfur oxidisation. "Thiobacillus" spp. get their food by using the carbon from CO2 and turning it into other compounds. All "Thiobacillus" spp. use energy from sulfur oxidisation
The Cyrillic alphabets are based on the Cyrillic script. The early Cyrillic alphabet was developed in the 9th century and replaced the previous Glagolitic script created by Saints Cyril and Methodius. It's used in the alphabets of many different languages, both Slavic and non-Slavic. As of 2011, around 252 million people use it as the official alphabet for their national languages, with half of them being in Russia. Cyrillic is one of the most-used writing systems in the world. Some of these alphabets are shown below; for others, see the links. Sounds are written using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Most of these languages have phonemic spelling, but there are some very special cases. For example, in Russian, the letter "г" is pronounced /v/ in some words, like in его (yego), which is pronounced /jɪˈvo/ instead of /jɪˈɡo/. Unlike the Latin script, which adds marks to letters in order to change languages, the Cyrillic alphabet often creates new letter shapes instead. Common letters. The table below shows the Cyrillic letters used in most national languages with a Cyrillic alphabet. Exceptions and additions for particular languages are noted below. Language-specific letters. Some languages may have letters that are not listed above, or may use special marks in certain letters. These are listed below by language.
In Islam, Prophet Abraham "(Ibrahim in Arabic)" is a very important and respected figure. In Islamic belief, he is one of the greatest prophets, and is a father of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. His story is written in the Quran and Hadith, which identify Abraham as a role model for all believers, and describe his strong faith and obedience to God. Early Life. Abraham was born in the city of Ur, in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), into a family of idol worshippers. Abraham thought that worshipping idols was useless and argued against idolatry. He began to question and reject the practices of his people. Calling to Monotheism. Abraham's mission was to get people to worship the One True God (Allah). He challenged his father’s idol-making business and the community’s beliefs. He was thrown into a fire by King Nimrod for his beliefs, but miraculously survived. Migration. In the Old Testament of the Bible, God commanded Abraham to leave his homeland and migrate to various regions, including Canaan (present-day Palestine), Egypt, and Mecca. Building of the Kaaba. With his son Ismail (Ishmael), Abraham built the Kaaba in Mecca. The Kaaba is the holiest site in Islam, and is one of Abraham's most important contributions. Muslims face towards the Kaaba during salah, their daily prayers.  The Quran recounts their prayer during the construction: “And [mention] when Abraham was raising the foundations of the House and [with him] Ishmael, [saying], ‘Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.’” (Quran 2:127) The sacrifice. According to Islam, God gave Abraham a test of sacrifice. In a dream, God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son, Ismail. Both father and son agreed to follow God's command. However, as Abraham was about to kill his son, God stopped him. God accepted Abraham's obedience and faith, and provided a ram (a male sheep) to be sacrificed instead. Muslims commemorate this event annually during Eid al-Adha: “And when he
The Campaign against Pratiharas was led by Devapala of Pala Empire against Nagabhatta II, Ramabhadra and Bhoja who were the rulers of the Gurjara Pratihara dynasty. Devapala's Campaigns began when Nagabhatta II tried to establish Pratihara rule over Kannauj after the death of Dharmapala who was the father of Devapala.  Background. When Govinda III went back to South India, Kannauj was left unguarded from Nagabhatta II and Dharmapāla. Nagabhatta II took control of Kannauj, but there was no battle fought between them. It is possible that Nagabhatta II attempted to take control of Kannauj after Dharmapala's death since Nagabhatta II relocated his capital to that location. However, Devapāla, Dharmapala's son, regained the Pāla rule over Kannauj by defeating Nagabhatta II. Ramabhadra, who was the son of Nagabhatta II, was also defeated by Devapala in his campaign. After Ramabhadra, Bhoja became the next ruler of the Gurjara Pratihara dynasty and he was defeated by Devapala too. Campaigns against Nagabhatta II. During the reigns of Dharmapala and Devapala, the Tibetans, led by Mu-tig Btsan-po, claimed to have subdued Dharmapala, while his successor Ralpacan claims to have boasted their success all the way to Gangāsāgara. These took place at the end of Dharmapala's reign and the beginning of Devapala's reign. Additionally, Tibet was allied with the Pratihāras in their attack on the Pala empire. But the Pratihāras under Nagabhatta II were successfully expelled from western territories of Bihar by Devapāla. Campaign against Ramabhadra. After the death of Nagabhatta II, Ramabhadra became the next king of Gurjara Pratihara dynasty.
