Basic oxide
Basic oxides are oxides that show basic properties, in opposition to acidic oxides. A basic oxide can either react with water to form a base, or with an acid to form a salt and water in a neutralization reaction.

Examples include:

Sodium oxide, which reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide

Magnesium oxide, which reacts with hydrochloric acid to form magnesium chloride

Copper(II) oxide, which reacts with nitric acid to form copper nitrate

Copper(II) oxide
Copper(II) oxide or cupric oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula CuO.  A black solid, it is one of the two stable oxides of copper, the other being Cu2O or copper(I) oxide (cuprous oxide).  As a mineral, it is known as tenorite, or sometimes black copper.  It is a product of copper mining and the precursor to many other copper-containing products and chemical compounds.
HMS Nerissa
Three vessels of the British Royal Navy have been named HMS Nerissa:

HMS Nerissa was an N-class destroyer launched on 7 May 1940 at John Brown, Clydebank and lent to the Polish Navy in October 1940 and renamed ORP Piorun. Returned to the Royal Navy in September 1946 the vessel was recommissioned as HMS Noble, and broken up nine years later in 1955.

J-, K- and N-class destroyer
The J, K and N class consisted of 24 destroyers built for the Royal Navy beginning in 1938. They were a return to a smaller vessel, with a heavier torpedo armament, after the Tribal class that emphasised guns over torpedoes. The ships were built in three flotillas or groups, each consisting of eight ships with names beginning with "J", "K" and "N".

Notitia ecclesiarum urbis Romae
The Notitia ecclesiarum urbis Romae ('list of the churches of the city of Rome') or Salzburg Itinerary is a pilgrims' guide composed in the mid 7th century, perhaps under Pope Honorius I. It was discovered in a codex in Salzburg and is now in the Austrian National Library.

It is the earliest surviving pilgrims' itinerary for Rome and was almost certainly written by an inhabitant of Rome who knew the sites described well. It lists the basilicas and Christian cemeteries in Rome. The cemeteries outside the walls are described, starting with the furthest from the centre and moving to those under the Aurelian Walls, as well as clockwise from the Catacombs of San Valentino to the Vatican necropolis.

Vatican Necropolis
The Vatican Necropolis is a necropolis that lies underneath Vatican City containing tombs dating from the first to fourth century AD, at depths varying between 5 and 12 metres (16 and 39 ft) below Saint Peter's Basilica. The Vatican sponsored archaeological excavations (also known by their Italian name scavi) under Saint Peter's in the years 1940–1949, which revealed parts of a necropolis dating to the Roman Empire. It is the home to the Tomb of the Julii, which has been dated to the third or fourth century. The necropolis was not originally one of the Catacombs of Rome, but an open-air cemetery with tombs and mausolea.

The Vatican Necropolis is not to be confused with the Vatican Grottoes, the latter of which resulted from the construction of St Peter's Church and is located on the ground level of the old Constantinian basilica.

N-ary associativity
In algebra, n-ary associativity is a generalization of the associative law to n-ary operations.

A ternary operation is ternary associative if one has always

that is, the operation gives the same result when any three adjacent elements are bracketed inside a sequence of five operands.

Similarly, an n-ary operation is n-ary associative if bracketing any n adjacent elements in a sequence of n + (n − 1) operands do not change the result.

Ternary operation
In mathematics, a ternary operation is an n-ary operation with n = 3. A ternary operation on a set A takes any given three elements of A and combines them to form a single element of A.

In computer science, a ternary operator is an operator that takes three arguments as input and returns one output.
