These puzzles were created to be done using pencil and paper, and there are many books that contain collections of these puzzles with tips and strategies for completing them.
They also appear in newspapers and magazines: typically, a different puzzle appears every day and the solution is printed somewhere else or in the next issue.
Later, small handheld machines were created that generate Sudoku puzzles for the user to solve.
More recently, though, the game can be played on the Internet or on mobile apps.
There are many Sudoku variations that have been created since the original Sudoku's release.
The grid is most often 9 by 9, but can be different sizes, though, and separated into smaller grids in different ways.
For example, there is a 6 by 6 grid with dark lines between the third and fourth columns and between two pairs of rows: the second and third rows, and the fourth and fifth rows.
The numerals that must be filled in here are from 1 to 6.
Because no arithmetic is needed to solve Sudoku puzzles, the numerals can be replaced with letters or symbols.
It is only their position that changes the solution to the puzzle, not their value.
On educational websites, such as Math Playground there are Sudoku games, such as 3-d Sudoku.
Jigsaw Sudoku (also called Squiggly Sudoku, Odd Sudoku or JigSaw Doku) is just like a regular Sudoku puzzle, except that instead of the lines being perfect, they are different.
Like regular Sudoku puzzles, you have to complete the grid.
Samurai Sudoku is a Sudoku variation that has 5 overlapping Sudoku grids formed like a big X.  These puzzles are big and take a long time to complete.
Like regular Sudoku puzzles, you have to complete all 5 grids in order to complete the puzzle.
Mini Sudoku
Mini Sudoku is played on a 6x6 grid with 3x2 regions.
The object is the same as in Sudoku, but the puzzle only uses the numbers 1 through 6.

Boudica  (born about 25 AD, died 60/61 AD) was the queen of the Celtic Iceni people in Norfolk in the eastern part of Roman Britain.
Her husband Prasutagus ruled an independent client state of Rome.
When he died, he left his kingdom jointly to his daughters and the Roman emperor.
A statue of Boudica has stood in the Westminster area of London since 1902.
Death of Prasutagus and its aftermath
It was normal Roman practice to allow allied kingdoms their independence only for the lifetime of their client king.
For example, the provinces of Bithynia and Galatia, were made part of the Empire in just this way.
Also, Roman law allowed inheritance only through the male line.
When Prasutagus died, his will was ignored by the Governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, and his kingdom was annexed just as if it had been conquered.
To make matters worse, Roman money-lenders called in the debts which Prasutagus had borrowed during his life.
The Romans confiscated the lands and property of the Iceni and treated their nobles like slaves.
When Boudica protested, Paulinus had her flogged, and her two daughters raped in public.
Tacitus reports:
"Prasutagus, the late king of the Icenians... by his will he left the whole to his two daughters and the emperor in equal shares, conceiving, by that stroke of policy, that he should provide at once for the tranquillity of his kingdom and his family.
"The event was otherwise.
His dominions were ravaged by the centurions; the slaves pillaged his house, and his effects were seized as lawful plunder.
His wife, Boudicca, was disgraced with cruel stripes; her daughters were ravished, and the most illustrious of the Icenians were, by force, deprived of the positions which had been transmitted to them by their ancestors.
The whole country was considered as a legacy bequeathed to the plunderers.
The relations of the deceased king were reduced to slavery".
Revenge of the Iceni
Choosing a good moment, when the Governor was attacking Anglesey and another legion was in Bristol, Boudica led the Iceni and their associates, the Trinovantes, to war.
They destroyed Camulodunum (modern Colchester), and moved towards Londinium.
There was only the 9th legion (Legio IX Hispana) to defend it.
The tribes burnt and destroyed both Verulamium (St Albans) and Londinium and massacred all they could lay their hands on.
An estimated 70,000–80,000 Romans and British were killed in the three cities by those led by Boudica.
Battle of Watling Street
The final battle took place near Watling Street in the English Midlands.
Watling Street was an old trackway between Canterbury and St Albans.
The Romans rebuilt it their way, and took it through the Midlands into Wales.
While Boudica's army assaulted in Verulamium, Suetonius put together a force with his own Legio XIV Gemina, some detachments of the Legio XX Valeria Victrix, and any available auxiliaries.
Down near Exeter, The Prefect of Legio II Augusta, Poenius Postumus, ignored the Governor's call to arms.
Nonetheless the Governor was able to call on almost ten thousand men.
The Romans were heavily outnumbered.
However, the tribes lacked manoeuvrability.
They had no way to direct these numbers, which put them at a disadvantage to the Romans.
The Romans were skilled at open combat, and had better equipment and discipline.
Also, the narrowness of the field meant that Boudica could put forth only as many troops as the Romans at any given time.
First, the Romans stood their ground and used volleys of pila (heavy javelins) to kill thousands of Britons who rushed toward the Roman lines.
The Roman soldiers engaged Boudica's second wave in the open.
As the Romans advanced in a wedge formation, the Britons attempted to flee, but were impeded by the presence of their own families.
They had put their people in wagons at the edge of the battlefield, and were slaughtered.
Tacitus reports that "according to one report almost eighty thousand Britons fell" compared with only four hundred Romans.
Boudica fled, and her time and place of death is not known.
The Prefect Postumus, on hearing of the Roman victory, fell on his sword.
Fearing Suetonius' actions would provoke further rebellion, Nero replaced the governor with the more conciliatory Publius Petronius Turpilianus.
The historian  Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus tells us the crisis had almost persuaded Nero to abandon Britain.

A choir or choral group is a collection of people who sing together.
They typically rehearse together with a leader and perform concerts or sing during religious services.
Some choirs are professional (the singers are paid for their work in the choir).
Some choirs are semi-professional (the leaders are paid at a professional rate for their work with the choir but the singers are not).
Some choirs are amateur or recreational (the leaders are either not paid or are offered an honorarium and the singers are not paid).
Some amateur choirs invite anyone who is interested sing with them.
Professional, semi-professional, and some amateur or recreational choirs require interested people to audition and then select their members based on a set of audition criteria.
Parts of a Choir
The singers in choirs are grouped by their voice types and choral music is usually written with distinct lines or parts for some or all of these voice types.
Voice types are typically organized into four groups.
From highest vocal range to lowest, these include:
Soprano (S): typically sung by higher-voiced, adult females or children
Alto (A): typically sung by lower-voiced, adult females or children and less-typically by males who sing in their falsetto range
Tenor (T): typically sung by higher-voiced, adult males
Bass (B): typically sung by lower-voiced, adult males
Music composed for choirs, or choral music, usually has at least two distinct vocal lines or parts that create harmony with one another.
Although four vocal ranges are typically specified, composers of choral music often write more than four vocal lines.
If the music divides into more than four parts this subdivision is typically shown by repeating the initials of the four voice parts to show which singers should be assigned to these vocal lines, e.g. SSAATTBB (for music in eight parts: two soprano lines, two alto lines etc.).
Young children’s choirs may be unison choirs (all singing the same line), but older children will sing in two (SS) or three (SSA) parts or more.
Types of Choirs
A mixed choir is a group with changed (usually male) and unchanged voices (usually female or children); the voicing for this group is typically expressed as SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass).
An equal voice choir is a group for either changed (usually male) voices or unchanged (usually female) voices.
Sometimes these choirs are called men's choirs and women's/ladies' choirs.
Sometimes they are referred to by their voicing: a TB or TTBB choir and an SA or SSAA choir.
A youth choir varies widely in its voicing since adolescence is the period during which most male voices transition from the soprano or alto vocal range to the tenor or bass vocal range.
For this reason, youth choirs can have any combination of voice parts, including SA, SAB, and SATB.
A children’s choir is most typically an equal voice group for pre-pubertal singers.
Some children's choirs also include youth and, therefore, may include changed voices (tenor and bass).
A chorus, choral society, or large ensemble is usually a choir of 40 or more singers and often includes 100+ people.
These groups typically sing large works, including operas or oratorios or similar compositions.
A chamber choir will never include more than 40 singers and will often be considerably smaller.
A small vocal ensemble or vocal group typically ranges in size from 3 to 12 singers.
An a cappella choir sings only music that has no pitched instrumental accompaniment.
There are a vast number of choirs that organize themselves around specific cultural or religious music traditions.
Choir of a Church (Architectural)
The word choir can also mean the part of a church or cathedral where the choir sit.
The choir is between the nave (the main body of the church) and the sanctuary (where the altar is).
The singers will divide into two groups and sit facing one another on either side of the choir area in the “choir stalls”.
In cathedrals the singers on the left (when facing the altar) are called “cantoris” and those on the right are called “decani” (pronounce: dee-CAY-nye).
Choir of an Organ
A large pipe organ may have three or more manuals (keyboards).
The third keyboard is called the "choir".
Traditionally the sound from the choir organ comes from pipes in a separate box behind the organist, facing the choir (the singers).
It is often used to accompany them.
Originally it was a separate instrument so that the organist had to turn round to play it.
Later it became possible for the organist to play it from the main console.

The motherboard, also known as a mainboard, is the main circuit board in any electronic system.
It's what holds together all the components needed for an electronic system to function.
Although there may be other circuit boards attached to the motherboard, the motherboard is the largest.
The painted, base material of a motherboard is composed of fiberglass yarn strands that have been woven together and coated with a liquid resin and set to dry.
This combination of woven fiberglass and resin is sent through an oven at a high temperature.
When it comes out, it hardens and becomes stronger than it was before.
This finished, very-hard, lightweight material, called pre-preg, is layered together and then painted, typically green.
It forms what is the base material of the motherboard.
This material acts as an electrical insulator and holds everything in place.
“On-board” is a term used to refer to anything that is permanently embedded onto the motherboard.
Electrical parts are soldered onto the motherboard.
These parts include transistors and resistors.
Other parts that are attached to the motherboard are able to be removed in the future so that they can be upgraded.
The CPU is an example of a part that is usually removable.
Parts that are not "on-board" can be bought as a card.
Some of these parts include RAM and CPU.
Computers today usually have a memory port, 2 or more USB ports, a parallel port (for use with old printers usually), audio & microphone jacks, a network port and ports for the keyboard and mouse.
There are also some rare motherboards that have plugs only for very specific parts.
All of the slots and plugs both inside and outside the computer case are shaped a certain way to accept a certain type of part.
Some will not even accept parts even one generation behind, such as the CPU and memory.
Others, like the video plug have not changed in years.
Some of the plugs, such as the video, keyboard and mouse plugs, are a special color.
These colors make it easier to pair the plug to the port.
The motherboard may also be referred to as the PCB which stands for ‘printed circuit board’, though it is essentially a gigantic PCB and can be considered the 'primary' PCB.
High-definition television (HDTV) is a new television broadcasting system which uses a higher resolution than a normal television.
With HDTV, people can watch television in higher quality than old television, giving a more vivid and clear screen.
Most HDTV systems use digital signals with a 16:9 aspect ratio (width to height).
This is different to SDTV (standard-definition television) which uses analog signals and a 4:3 aspect ratio.
HDTV picture resolution is at least twice that of SDTV, so it can present a more vivid screen than analog television or DVD.
HDTV can control resolution efficiently.
There are different standards.
Common ones are:
2560×1440, progressive scan, requiring about 3,68 Megapixels per frame.
This is known as 1440p or WQHD.
It is a new standard, which is slowly replacing many 1080p-computer-monitors in the household (everyday use).
1920×1080, progressive scan, requiring about 2,07 MPixels per frame.
This is known as 1080p or FullHD.
It has been used very frequently for different types of screens in the past few years.
1920×1080, interlaced, 1.04 MPixel per field.
This is known as 1080i.
1280×720, progressive, 0.92 MPixel per frame.
This is known as 720p.

Running is the way in which people or animals travel quickly on their feet.
It is a method of travelling on land.
It is different to walking in that both feet are regularly off the ground at the same time.
Different terms are used to refer to running according to the speed: jogging is slow, and sprinting is running fast.
Running is a popular form of exercise.
It is also one of the oldest forms of sport.
The exercise is known to be good for health; it helps breathing and heartbeat, and burns any spare calories.
Running keeps a person fit and active.
It also relieves stress.
Running makes a person thirsty, so it is important to drink water when running.
Benefits of running
Fitness – From wanting to lose weight to trying to fight disease and aging, there are lots of health benefits to running.
Mental health – Whether to help depression or find some time to think, there are large mental benefits to running as well.
Running is also fun and does not need special equipment to do it.
When running, the muscles, lungs, brain, heart and other organs get better.
Running is often used as cross-training for many sports, especially ones that require sustained endurance.
Ways to avoid injuries
Before going on a long run, do not forget to have a five-minute warm-up and some stretching exercises.
After going on a long run, do not forget to have ten-minutes of cool-down with some stretching exercises.
In the short term, try running on a flat surface.
In the long term coaches recommend cross-country running.
Running in a way to reduce loading on legs.
One method is to use a treadmill, the better is to run in minimal shoes.
These allow the runner's feet to feel the ground and so not inadvertently overload the foot/ankle.
Over-cushioned shoes prevent the foot from feeling what it is doing and can also damage ones shins and knees.
This topic has been very controversial.
There are countless coaches, runners, and scientists who argue that minimal shoes are a main culprit in injuries in runners.
They highly recommend shoes that offer stability and cushioning.
Many runners with injuries have found that switching to cushioned shoes has improved/cured them of their injuries.
Environmental
In hot climates, it is better to run in the morning.
This will help to reduce fatigue and heat stress.
Do not run when pollution levels are high.
Run in the shade if possible, wear sunglasses, apply sunscreen and try to avoid direct sun rays.
Too much clothing can produce sweating, which causes the body to lose heat quickly.
Dress in layers.
Wear the correct footwear.
When running in cold weather wear hat, gloves and clothing that covers your neck.
Running is a part of many forms of competitive racing.
Most running races test speed, endurance or both.
Track and field races are usually divided into sprints, middle-distance races and long-distance races.
Races held off the track may be called cross-country races.
A marathon is run over 42 kilometres.
Footraces have probably existed for most of human history.
They were an important part of the ancient Olympic Games.
Monster is a 2003 American crime drama movie.
It is a true story about female American serial killer Aileen Wuornos.

A guard dog, sometimes called an attack dog, is a dog that is trained to watch for and guard against people or animals who should not be there.
Their main job is to keep their owner and the owner's property safe from danger.
A guard dog is not the same as a "watchdog".
A watchdog will let its owner know that a stranger is coming by barking.
Guard dogs, however, may be trained to attack if their owner tells them to.
A guard dog may also be trained to attack if a stranger comes too close.
If trained properly, they will give a warning before attacking.
A different type of guard dog is a livestock guard dog.
Certain breeds of dogs are natural guardians of livestock.
Their job is to stay with and guard a flock or herd against predators.
Types of guard dogs
Personal protection dogs are highly trained dogs who protect individuals or families against any threats.
Personal protection dogs are trained to go anywhere with their owners and in many different situations.
At home a guard dog may keep trespassers from entering.
They have better hearing than humans and are usually aware of what is happening sooner.
They act as a kind of home alarm.
A dog's bark lets the owner know someone is there and alerts the trespasser the dog knows he is there.
A guard dog can also provide protection should the intruder keep coming.
Larger dogs make for better personal protection dogs.
Some of the favorite breeds are German Shepherds, Boxers and Akitas.
They are very trainable and look very intimidating to strangers.
Livestock guard dogs also called livestock protection dogs are bred and designed for protecting livestock from predators.
In most cases their ability to guard their herd is instinctive.
The dog bonds with the herd from an early age.
They are not usually used to herd or move a herd.
Their only job is to guard the herd.
Many shepherds seem to match the color of the guardian dog to that of their sheep.
The theory is that it makes them less threatening to the sheep and harder to identify by predators.
This may explain why so many Livestock protection dogs are white.
Property guard dogs are trained to watch over property when the owner is not there.
They are selected for being both loyal and intelligent.
They often perform their job without someone giving them commands.
Military guard dogs, sometimes called war dogs, are dogs used for military purposes.
The US military requries they be 20 inches (51 centimeters) tall at the shoulders and cannot be more than five years old.
They cannot be afraid of loud noises including gunfire.
They are used for a wide variety of purposes and receive specialized training.
Similar to Police dogs they may be used to patrol an area and are used against criminals.
They may be used to detect harmful objects such as bombs, mines, harmful gasses and ammunition.
Military dogs are trained to watch out for enemies and attack them.
The US military used 32 breeds at the start of World War II but by 1944 the list was shortened to five breeds.
These were the Belgian Shepherd, German Shepherd, Doberman Pinscher, Collie and Giant Schnauzer.

}}The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a video game made in 1998 for the Nintendo 64.
It was the fifth Legend of Zelda video game and was the first to be in 3D. In the game, the player character Link goes on an adventure to save the kingdom of Hyrule from the evil Ganondorf.
To save Hyrule, Link must fight against Ganondorf and all his minions.
A special object in the game is the sacred Ocarina that Link can play after he learns the songs, causing different effects depending on the song he plays, such as moving him to certain places around Hyrule (making it much easier and faster to travel), and starting rain (for example to water plants or fill dry lakes).
In the Kokiri Forest, the Great Deku Tree asks the fairy Navi to tell Link to come to him.
When Link arrives, he learns that the Great Deku Tree is dying because of a curse placed on him by an evil man called Ganondorf.
Link is the only one who can save him.
Link must enter the Great Deku Tree in order to save him from the curse.
Although Link defeats the most of the monsters inside, he is too late to save the tree.
Before the Great Deku Tree dies, he gives Link the Kokiri Emerald, a magic stone, and tells him that it was a man in black armor who put the curse on him.
He also tells Link that he needs to go to princess of Hyrule at Hyrule Castle.
Before he leaves, Saria, Link's friend, gives him the Fairy Ocarina, a magic instrument.
At Hyrule Castle, Link sneaks pass the guards and meets Princess Zelda.
Zelda shows Link, through a window, a strange man with evil eyes.
She tells Link that the man is Ganondorf.
She also tells him that Ganondorf wants to steal the Triforce, a magic symbol of the Gods, and take control of the world.
To defeat him, Link needs to find three magical "Spiritual Stones" (Kokiri Emerald being one of them), six great medallions and the magical Ocarina of Time.
Ocarina of Time was a very popular game, and many people liked it.
Five million copies of the game were sold around the world after six months, and 7.6 million copies were sold in total.
Many people were happy with this game, although there were a few, small problems.
One problem was that players cannot skip through the parts where people talk.
Another was that players cannot play against the boss monsters that they have already killed.
Overall, many websites and magazines think that Ocarina of Time is one of the best games ever made.
GameSpot, Famitsu, IGN, Electric Gaming Monthly, and Edge all gave the game perfect scores.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D''''' is a remake made for the Nintendo 3DS console.
It was released on June 16, 2011.

The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) (, ) is a  partially-recognised country claiming Western Sahara, the SADR is controlled by the Polisario Front.
The Polisario declared sovereignty on Western Sahara in 1976.
The Polisario currently claims to controls about 20% of the territory it claims.
It calls the territories under its control "Liberated Territories" or as part of the Free Zone.
Morocco controls and administers the rest of the disputed territory and calls these lands its Southern Provinces.
The SADR government considers the Moroccan-held territory occupied territory, while Morocco considers the much smaller SADR held territory to be a buffer zone.
Plutonium is the chemical element with the atomic number 94 and chemical symbol Pu.
It is a highly radioactive metal, and is the metal used in most nuclear weapons.
The chemical element plutonium has some different isotopes.
The most important isotope of plutonium is 239Pu (or plutonium-239).
It takes 24,110 years for half of a sample of plutonium-239 to decay, which is called its half-life.
It can be made from natural uranium.
It is fissile and a nuclear fuel.
The isotope that has the longest half-life is 244Pu (or plutonium-244).
Plutonium-244 has a half-life of about 80 million years.
The half-life of 244Pu is long enough that some of this isotope of plutonium is found in very small amounts in nature.
Like other transuranium elements, plutonium can react with water, oxygen, carbon, halogens, nitrogen, and silicon.
It forms oxides and hydrides in moist air, causing the plutonium sample to expand by up to 70%.
Plutonium from the expanding sample can flake off and catch fire at room temperature.
Plutonium is also toxic, although it is less toxic than many people think.
The reactivity and toxicity of plutonium make it difficult to handle.
Superman Returns is a video game  based on the movie Superman Returns.
It is available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance consoles.
Some video game websites said this game would come out for computers (PC), but Electronic Arts chose not to make a PC version of this game.
There was going to be a Gamecube version, but it was cancelled because of a 2006 contract with Major League Baseball as well as to avoid competition with two other movie-licensed games (Charlotte's Web and Dreamgirls).

Al Jazeera (in Arabic: الجزيرة al-Jazi'yra) is an Arabic-language television channel from Doha, Qatar.
Al Jazeera means The Island in Arabic.
It is named that way because it claims to be the only independent news network in the Middle East.
At first it was a satellite TV channel which broadcast in Arabic only.
Now there is also a channel in English, a sports channel, a conference channel, a documentary channel and a children's channel.

The first Al Jazeera channel was created in 1996.
This was made possible with 150 million US$ from the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa.
In April 1996 the BBC World channel, which operated in Arabic, was shut down.
This channel was partly owned by Saudi-Arabia.
Many of the journalists from this station started working with Al Jazeera.
The channel started broadcasting at the End of 1996.
Because Al Jazeera was available in the whole region via satellite, it changed the television landscape of the region.
Before that people could only watch channels that were censored by the different states.
Al Jazeera brought a new level of freedom of speech in television to the Middle East.
Al Jazeera has always shown controversy on many governments in the Middle East, for example Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar.
It also was critical about Syria's relationship with the Lebanon and of the judiciary in Egypt.
For example, on January 27, 1999 Al Jazeera had critics of the government of Algeria on their live program El-Itidjah el-Mouakass (Arabic for The Opposite Direction).
To stop people from watching this program in Algeria, the government of Algeria cut the electricity in large parts of the country.
At that time many people outside the Middle East did not know about Al Jazeera.
Those people who knew it said generally good things about Al Jazeera.
Because of good reporting from the Lebanese Civil War in 2000-2001 Al Jazeera got even more viewers.
However it only became know worldwide after it broadcast statements from al-Qaeda leaders in 2001.
Viewership
Most people think that people that live in the Middle East are given little information and that what they get is biased toward the government.
Many people in the Arab world see Al Jazeera as a good and true source of information.
Some scholars use the word of contextual objectivity, which means that Al Jazeera shows both sides of a story, but still manages to be popular with the audience.
Because of this it is probably the most watched news channel in the Middle East.
The first Al Jazeera can be watched all over the world with several different satellite and cable systems.
In the U.S. Al Jazeera can be watched on DVB-S on the Galaxy 25 and 23 satellites.
In Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East it can be received via DVB-S on the Astra and Hot Bird satellites.
In Australia Al Jazeera can be watched via the Optus C1 satellite and in the United Kingdom it can be watched via Sky and Freesat.
Al Jazeera has had many controversies and criticism.

Boron is a chemical element.
It has the chemical symbol B. It has the atomic number 5.
It is a metalloid (it has properties of a metal and a non-metal).
Much boron is found in chemical compounds in its ore borax.
Boron is never found free in nature.
Two types of boron are found (allotropes).
Amorphous boron is a brown powder and metallic (crystalline) boron is black and hard and a weak conductor at room temperature.
Boron is the 5th element in the periodic table and is part of the earth's surface.
Pure boron is used as a dopant (a substance added to semiconductors to change how it behaves with electricity) in the semiconductor industry.
Chemical compounds of boron are important as to make strong materials not weigh very much, as nontoxic insecticides and preservatives, and for chemical synthesis.
Plants need boron in them to live.
Very small amounts of boron are needed in animal's bodies so that they are very healthy.
How it keeps animals healthy is not known in a lot of detail.
A fireplace is a brick or metal structure used to hold a fire.
Fireplaces are most often used for heating but they can also be used for cooking.
The part of the fireplace that holds the fire is called a firebox or a firepit.
There is a chimney or flue above the firebox that lets the smoke from the fire go outside.
Until the early 1900s, most homes had one or more fireplaces as a source of heat for the residents of the house.
In the mid-1900s, gas, oil, and electric heaters became more common and fireplaces were used less often as a source of heat.
In the late 1900s, fireplaces were less commonly built in new houses.
Dubnium is a chemical element.
It has the symbol Db and it has the atomic number 105.
It is a very radioactive element that does not exist in nature.
It has to be made in a lab.
It is a transuranium element created by bombarding californium-249 with nitrogen-15 nuclei.
The isotope that has the longest half-life only has a half life of 32 hours.
Dubnium is a transactinide element.
The Soviet Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) had said they first discovered the element in 1968, followed by the American Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in 1970.
Both teams shared their names for the new element and used them without formal approval.
The long-standing argument was settled in 1993 by an official investigation of the discovery claims by the Transfermium Working Group, formed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, resulting in credit for the discovery being officially shared between both teams.
The element was then named dubnium in 1997 after the town of Dubna, the site of the JINR.
There are no current uses for Dubnium seeing as its too radioactive and ts short half life makes it almost impossible to work with.
Hypothesized research says that dubnium is a member of group 5 in the 6d series of transition metals, placing it under vanadium, niobium, and tantalum.
Dubnium should share most properties, such as its valence electron configuration and having a mainly +5 oxidation state, with the other group 5 elements, with a few exceptions due to relativistic effects.
Limited research of dubnium chemistry has confirmed this.
Solution chemistry experiments have shown that dubnium often behaves more like niobium rather than tantalum, breaking periodic trends.
