Astrothelium laurerosphaerioides
Astrothelium laurerosphaerioides is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling),  crustose lichen in the family Trypetheliaceae. Found in Guyana, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Dutch lichenologist André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected by Harrie Sipman on Kusad Mountain (Rupununi savannah, Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo) at an altitude of 450 m (1,480 ft); there, it was found in a savanna growing on smooth tree bark. The lichen has a smooth and shiny, pale ochraceous-green thallus with a cortex, which covers areas of up to 15 cm (6 in) in diameter. An anthraquinone compound was the only lichen product detected in the collected specimens using thin-layer chromatography. The characteristics of the lichen distinguishing it from others in Astrothelium are its immersed-erumpent ascomata that have an exposed blackish area around their ostioles; the presence of two ascospores per ascus, and the dimensions of the spores (110–130 by 30–35 μm).

Cortex (botany)
In botany, a cortex is an outer layer of a stem or root in a vascular plant, lying below the epidermis but outside of the vascular bundles. The cortex is composed mostly of large thin-walled parenchyma cells of the ground tissue system and shows little to no structural differentiation. The outer cortical cells often acquire irregularly thickened cell walls, and are called collenchyma cells.
Boesenbergia rotunda
Boesenbergia rotunda (Thai: กระชาย, romanized: krachai, Khmer: ខ្ជាយ, romanized: k'jeay, Indonesian: temu kunci, Burmese: ဆိတ္ဖူး, romanized: Hsei' Hpu), commonly known as Chinese keys, fingerroot, lesser galangal or Chinese ginger, is a medicinal and culinary herb from China and Southeast Asia. In English, the root has traditionally been called fingerroot, because the shape of the rhizome resembles that of fingers growing out of a center piece.

Romanization of Khmer
The romanization of Khmer is a representation of the Khmer (Cambodian) language using letters of the Latin alphabet. This is most commonly done with Khmer proper nouns, such as names of people and geographical names, as in a gazetteer.

Canada has dominated both the men's and women's championships since their inception, although Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany (West Germany), Scotland, the United States, Norway and China have all won at least one championship.
Palicella lueckingii
Palicella lueckingii is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lecideoid lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. Found in Chile, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Pamela Rodriguez-Flakus. The type specimen was collected from the Malalcahuelo National Reserve, where it was found growing on the bark of Araucaria araucana in Valdivian temperate rain forest. It is only known to occur at the type locality. The species epithet honours German lichenologist Robert Lücking, "who has made an outstanding contribution to the knowledge of Neotropical lichens".

Characteristic features of Palicella lueckingii include its thick thallus, apothecia lacking pruina, and small ascospores (measuring 10.5–15.5 by 5–6 μm). Lichen products that occur in this species are atranorin, pannarin, and thiophanic acid.

Lichen product
Lichen products, also known as lichen substances, are organic compounds produced by a lichen. Specifically, they are secondary metabolites. Lichen products are represented in several different chemical classes, including terpenoids, orcinol derivatives, chromones, xanthones, depsides, and depsidones. Over 1000 lichen products of known chemical structure have been reported in the scientific literature, and most of these compounds are exclusively found in lichens. Examples of lichen products include usnic acid (a dibenzofuran), atranorin (a depside), lichexanthone (a xanthone), salazinic acid (a depsidone), and isolichenan, an α-glucan. Many lichen products have biological activity, and research into these effects is ongoing.

Rope start
Rope start (also called ripcord , pull start, or rewind start) is a method of starting an internal combustion engine, usually on small machines, such as lawn mowers, chainsaws,  grass trimmers, ultralight aircraft, small outboard motors and portable engine-generators. Also used on some small vehicles such as small go-karts, minibikes, and small ATVs.

String trimmer
A string trimmer, also known by the portmanteau strimmer and the trademarks Weedwacker, Weed Eater and Whipper Snipper, is a garden power tool for cutting grass, small weeds, and groundcover. Instead of a blade, it uses a whirling monofilament line which protrudes from a rotating spindle at the end of a long shaft topped by a gasoline engine or electric motor.

String trimmers are commonly used for cutting low foliage near obstacles or on steep or irregular terrain. Most professional-grade line trimmers take brush cutter attachments for denser vegetation.

Scheduling (production processes)
Scheduling is the process of arranging, controlling and optimizing work and workloads in a production process or manufacturing process. Scheduling is used to allocate plant and machinery resources, plan human resources, plan production processes and purchase materials.

It is an important tool for manufacturing and engineering, where it can have a major impact on the productivity of a process. In manufacturing, the purpose of scheduling is to keep due dates of customers and then minimize the production time and costs, by telling a production facility when to make, with which staff, and on which equipment. Production scheduling aims to maximize the efficiency of the operation, utilize maximum resources available and reduce costs.

In some situations, scheduling can involve random attributes, such as random processing times, random due dates, random weights, and stochastic machine breakdowns. In this case, the scheduling problems are referred to as "stochastic scheduling".
