Diplura
The Diplura are a biological order. It is one of the four groups of hexapods, with insects, springtails and Protura.
The Dipleura are sometimes called "two-pronged bristletails". About 800 species have been described, of which around 70 occur in North America, 12 in Great Britain and two in Australia.
Halloween (2007 movie)
The 2007 version of Halloween is a remake of the 1978 movie of the same name and the ninth in the "Halloween" franchise. This remake stars Tyler Mane as the adult Michael Myers. The 2007 remake follows the premise of the original movie: Myers stalks Laurie and her friends on Halloween night in Illinois. Despite mostly negative reviews, the 2007 remake grossed well over $80 million, making this the highest grossing "Halloween" movie of the series.
The movie was directed by Rob Zombie, who also directed a sequel released in 2009.
Halloween II (2009 movie)
Halloween II is a slasher movie. It is a sequel to the 2007 remake. The 2009 movie is a continuation of the 2007 remake and goes forward by one year. In the movie, Michael Myers continues his search for Laurie Strode so he can reunite with his sister. This movie got negative reviews from critics when it was released.
Yersinia
Yersinia is a bacterium in the large family of bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae. "Yersinia pestis" is the type genus. "Yersinia pestis" is also the cause of the bubonic plague, one of the most dreaded diseases of the 18th century. "Yersinia enterocolitica" causes the disease yersiniosis.
Gammaproteobacteria
Gammaproteobacteria are a large group of bacteria. They include important bacteria, such as "Pseudomonas aeruginosa" and "Fransicella tuarensis". They are gram-negative bacteria.
Francisella
Francisella is a genus of bacteria in its own family, the "Francisellaceae", which is placed in the "Gammaproteobacteria" order "Thiotrichales". "F. tularensis" is the cause of the serious infectious disease tularemia.
Flacourtiaceae
Flacourtiaceae was a family of flowering plants, whose former members have been scattered to various other families, are now divided into other families like the Salicaceae, in the willow family.
Crotonoideae
Crotonoideae is a subfamily of the large and diverse family "Euphorbiaceae", in the large order "Malpighiales". It includes Crotons ("Codiaeum") and Hogworts ("Croton").
Melastomataceae
Melastomataceae is a large family in the order "Myrtales". There are about 200 genera and 4,000 species. It is the eighth largest family in the basal Angiosperms. Plants in the family are called Melastomes.
Revolution (Six Flags Magic Mountain)
The New Revolution (formerly known as Revolution, Great American Revolution, and La Revolución) is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. Manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf and designed by Werner Stengel, the roller coaster opened to the public on May 8, 1976. The New Revolution is the world's first modern roller coaster to feature a vertical loop and has been recognized for that accomplishment by American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE), who awarded the roller coaster its Coaster Landmark status.
Ecological genetics
Ecological genetics is the study of genetics and evolution in natural populations.
This contrasts with classical genetics, which works mostly on crosses between laboratory strains, and DNA sequence analysis, which studies genes at the molecular level.
Research in ecological genetics is on traits related to fitness, which affect an organism's survival and reproduction. Examples might be: flowering time, drought tolerance, polymorphism, mimicry, defence against predators.
Research usually involve a mixture of field and laboratory studies. Samples of natural populations may be taken back to the laboratory for their genetic variation to be analysed. Changes in the populations at different times and places will be noted, and the pattern of mortality in these populations will be studied. Research is often done on insects and other organisms that have short generation times.
Although work on natural populations had been done previously, it is acknowledged that the field was founded by the English biologist E.B. Ford (1901–1988) in the early 20th century. Ford was taught genetics at Oxford University by Julian Huxley, and started research on the genetics of natural populations in 1924. Ford also had a long working relationship with R.A. Fisher. By the time Ford had developed his formal definition of genetic polymorphism, Fisher had got accustomed to high natural selection values in nature. This was one of the main outcomes of research on natural populations. Ford's magnum opus was "Ecological genetics", which ran to four editions and was widely influential.
Other notable ecological geneticists would include Theodosius Dobzhansky who worked on chromosome polymorphism in fruit flies. As a young researcher in Russia, Dobzhansky had been influenced by Sergei Chetverikov, who also deserves to be remembered as a founder of genetics in the field, though his significance was not appreciated until much later. Dobzhansky and colleagues carried out studies on natural populations of "Drosophila" species in western USA and Mexico over many years.
Many were influenced by Ford in the post WWII era. Collectively, their work on lepidoptera, and on human blood groups, established the field, and threw light on selection in natural populations, where its role had been once doubted.
Work of this kind needs long-term funding, as well as grounding in both ecology and genetics. These are both difficult requirements. Research projects can last longer than a researcher's career; for instance, research into mimicry started 150 years ago, and is still going strongly. Funding of this type of research is still rather erratic, but at least the value of working with natural populations in the field cannot now be doubted.
MP Xpress
MP Xpress is a steel roller coaster at Movie Park Germany. The ride is in "The Old West" section of the park and was previously named "Eraser" (2001–2004) and "FX" (2005).
MP Xpress has a length of 2,260 feet (689 meter), a max speed of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) and one ride takes 1 minute and 26 seconds. The coaster has 5 inversions, first, a "Roll Over", then a "Sidewinder" and finally a "Double In-Line Twist". MP Xpress rides with 2 trains, each having 10 cars, capable of carrying 2 people. MP Xpress can process 1040 people per hour.
Primula
Primula is a genus of 400–500 species of low-growing herbs in the family Primulaceae. They include primrose, cowslip and oxlip.
Many species are grown for their ornamental flowers. They are native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere, south into tropical mountains in Ethiopia, Indonesia and New Guinea, and in temperate southern South America.
Perennial primulas bloom mostly during the spring; their flowers can be purple, yellow, red, pink, or white. Generally, they prefer filtered sunlight. Many species are adapted to alpine climates.
The word "primula" is the Latin feminine diminutive of "primus", meaning first (prime), applied to flowers that are among the first to open in spring.
Primroses are used as food plants by the larvae (caterpillars) of some Lepidoptera species.
Some flowering forms of (cultivated) "Primula" are commonly known as polyanthus ("P. elatior" hybrids) as opposite to primrose ("P. vulgaris" hybrids).
The common primrose, "Primula vulgaris", shows heterostyly. This is a type of morphism with flower forms which differ in the lengths of the pistil and stamens.
