James Clark (horticulturist)

James Clark depicted in The Journal of Horticulture and Cottage Gardener, 1880

James Clark (1 May 1825 – 5 June 1890), was an English market gardener and horticulturist in Christchurch, Dorset who specialised in raising new varieties of potato. His most noted success was Magnum Bonum, described by The Times as "the first real disease-resisting potato ever originated and offered to the world".

Early life

James Clark was born in Tuckton near Christchurch, Hampshire (now Dorset) on 1 May 1825. His father Thomas was a farm labourer. Clark had only a poor education and at the age of nine was sent to work on a farm in the neighbouring hamlet of Iford. When he was aged twelve his family moved closer to Christchurch and his father became an under-gardener at nearby Sandhills, the seaside estate of Sir George Henry Rose, the Member of Parliament for Christchurch. Clark also became a gardener, working for the town's wealthier residents.

It was during this period that a fungus unwittingly transported to Europe from America devastated the potato crop in Ireland, causing the Great Famine of 1845–1850. In the wake of this tragedy potato breeders sought to find a reliable alternative to the disgraced Lumpers and Cups that had been the mainstay of the Irish planting.

Career

In 1855 Clark became the gardener at a local boarding school. It was there that he first developed an interest in growing potatoes and became fascinated by the varieties produced by a single root. However, the onset of a life-long heart complaint compelled him to quit this job and take on less arduous gardening work.

In 1869 Clark moved his family to Cranemoor, a hamlet a few miles east of Christchurch, where his wife became the caretaker at the small Congregational chapel. In return they were granted a cottage and three-quarters of an acre of land rent-free. Despite his continuing poor health, Clark began growing Early Rose potatoes. After lifting the first crop he discovered a few seed balls and from these, he raised forty-two roots of the seedling. He observed that these were all different from the parent plant.


James Clark (horticulturist)

In the following two seasons Clark saw that one of his new seedlings had survived when other local potato plants had been devastated by blight. He realised that this new variety held great promise, so he nurtured them and in the spring of 1874 he sent some of his seedlings to the noted horticulturist Shirley Hibberd for him to test at his trial-ground in Hornsey. Hibberd's tests confirmed the robust good qualities of the new variety and he recommended it to seed merchants Messrs Sutton & Son of Reading, who purchased Clark's entire stock and released it to the public as Sutton's Magnum Bonum in 1876.

Magnum Bonum indeed proved to be a commercial success and soon became the best-selling variety grown in Great Britain. Its ability to survive hard frosts recommended it to Scottish growers in particular. It was a white, kidney-shaped late maincrop with a floury texture and a blandly sweet flavour that grew vigorously, withstood disease, and gave good yields. In 1880, reporting on the 7th annual Potato Show held at the Crystal Palace, The Times said: "To ascertain and announce which is the most serviceable potato would be a great national service. There is a very considerable consensus of opinion that in a great number of soils Messrs. Sutton's 'Magnum Bonum' has survived in bad years, and yielded abundantly in good. It is a recent introduction, and the breeder who first raised it in 1871, Mr. Clark, of Christchurch, was present yesterday at the show. It has been supplied to the Marquis of Lansdowne and other landed proprietors in Ireland, and to one of the Dublin relief funds, and is stated to have answered admirably in the humid soil of Ireland."

The popularity of Magnum Bonum peaked in about 1890, after which it degenerated and became susceptible to blight. Nevertheless, it was used to breed numerous other disease-resistant varieties.


James Clark (horticulturist)

Clark subsequently produced a number of other varieties released by Sutton & Son. These included Maincrop/Langworthy (1876), Reading Hero (1881), Sutton's Seedling (1886), Abundance (1886), Best of All (1887), Satisfaction (1887), Masterpiece (1887), White Kidney (1888), Early Market (1888), Matchless (1889), Nonesuch (1889), Perfection (1892), Triumph (1892), Supreme (1893), Epicure (1897), No Plus Ultra (1897), Reliance (1897), Ninetyfold (1897), Ideal (1898), Inevitable (1898), Centenary (1900), and Favourite (1902).

James Clark died at his Christchurch home on 5 June 1890 aged 65 years.


Arcadetar

Teapot Industries playing the Arcadetar at Hard Rock Cafe Rome, 10 December 2013

The Arcadetar is a music performance controller, developed in 2012 by the Italian engineer and composer Andrea Lomuscio. It consists of a 25-note keyboard embedded in a guitar body, and a guitar neck with position and pressure sensors.

Specifications

An Arcadetar wood carved by Vittorio Giliberti

The Arcadetar features two 50 centimetres (20 in) touch-sensitive strips that can sense position and pressure. The sensors and the 25-note keyboard are connected to the internal microcontroller enclosed in the guitar body which generates MIDI messages via USB connectivity.

Playing techniques

Frequently the Arcadetar is mistakenly defined as a keytar. The main difference, and peculiarity, is that the Arcadetar lets the performer play contemporaneously a guitar (using the left-hand on the sensors placed on the neck) and a keyboard (using the right-hand on the body). Nevertheless, the performer can also play with the right-hand the keyboard and use the neck to control the pitch-bend and modulation (or even other Control Changes) of the instrument.

The latter technique is more similar to the keytar's one. But, again, the remarkably long sensors (50 cm) allow the performer to modulate the sound in a much more accurate way.

Cala Arenas is a beach situated near the city of Algeciras in Spain, within the El Estrecho Natural Park. It is located at the southern end of the Bay of Gibraltar and faces the Strait of Gibraltar. It measures about 400 metres (1,300 ft) long by about 30 metres (98 ft) deep. The beach is somewhat difficult to access, but can be reached via coastal paths from Punta Carnero and Punta del Fraile.coves of similar appearance, with beaches of rocks and small stones. Both the terrestrial and marine environment of the area lies within the natural park.Getares, a small outlying development of the city of Algeciras located about 1 km to the north. The beach is framed by cliffs and the Isla de las Palomas (Pigeon Island) lies a short distance offshore.

Geologically Cala Arenas is located within the Algeciras-Los Nogales unit and is part of the Baetic System in the Campo de Gibraltar. The local rocks are mainly composed of flysch comprising marl, sandstone and mica, locally known as the Algeciras Flysch, that dates from the Eocene–Oligocene period. The rocks include various soft minerals, especially clays, marl, calcarenite and sandstones, that have eroded to leave behind the harder limestones and thus form the chain of alternate coves at Cala Arenas.

Several notable archaeological sites are located near Cala Arenas. The area has been inhabited for thousands of years, the result of its strategic position in the Strait of Gibraltar and the easy landing place that it has represented historically. A small Phoenician port existed there, probably with a watchtower.Torre del Fraile. The 18th century Fuerte de San Diego was also situated in the areaGibraltar, who sought to prevent the French using it during the Peninsular War.

This 18 hole course is set out on a clifftop location at the extreme western end of Buckpool. UK Golf Guide describes it as a links course with superlative view over Moray Firth

The course was created in the 1930s and part of the purpose of the project was to create jobs in a time of high unemployment, especially in the herring fishing industry. Golf website St Andrews.com for a course of this quality some of today's multi-millionaire course designers would be shaking in their soft-spikes if such schemes were resurrected. In the early sixties the Town Council, which had maintained both Buckpool and Buckie's other course Strathlene decided to close Buckpool due to economic reasons. A group of enthusiasts formed a private club and leased the course which has come a long way from the old farmhouse which was the clubhouse to the present building situated besides the 10th and 18th greens. In 1999 the land was purchased from Moray Council by the members.

Buckpool provides a full calendar of tournaments throughout the season for both Ladies and Gents sections and regular competition for Seniors and Juniors as well.

Today the course plays to a par of 70 and is 6127 yards in length.

Buckpool Golf Club is notable as being the venue for Paul Lawrie's maiden professional tournament victory when he won the 1986 Moray Seafoods Open

Karatal

The Karatal (Russian: Каратал, Karatal; Khalkha Mongolian: Хартал Hartal, "Black Steppe"), also known as the Qaratal River (Kazakh: Қаратал, Qaratal), is a river of the Balkhash-Alakol Basin, Kazakhstan. It originates in the Dzungarian Alatau Mountains near the border with China and flows into Lake Balkhash. It is the easternmost of two large rivers that flow into the lake; the other is the Ili.Zhetysu. The river is 390 kilometres (240 mi) long and has a basin area of 19,100 square kilometres (7,400 sq mi).

The river flows west-southwest from the border with China before turning northwestward south of Taldykorgan and then northward when it reaches the Saryesik-Atyrau Desert, a large sand desert south of Lake Balkhash. The river empties into Lake Balkhash near the centerpoint of its southern side. Karatal freezes up in December and stays icebound until March. Because of irrigation, the river's flow into Lake Balkash is limited.

Description

The Karatal is the second largest river after the Ili in the territory of Semirechye. Translated from the Kazakh language, the river is translated as "Black willow".

Fauna

From the South, the river Koksu flows into the Karatal. The river is home to pelicans, several species of ducks, herons, and other birds.

Buckow

For the locality in the Berlin borough of Neukölln, see Buckow (Berlin).

Buckow (German pronunciation: [ˈbʊkoː] or [ˈbuːkoː] (listen)) is a town in the Märkisch-Oderland district, in Brandenburg, Germany. The water cure resort is the administrative seat of the Amt (municipal association) Märkische Schweiz and located in the centre of the eponymous hill range, since 1990 part of the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park protected area.

Geography

Buckow beach on Schermützelsee

Buckow is located about 8 km (5.0 mi) northwest of Müncheberg and 45 km (28 mi) east of the Berlin city centre. The town is situated in a glacial trough between the Berlin Urstromtal in the southwest and the Oder Valley in the northeast, crossed by the Stobber River with its source in the Rotes Luch lowland. The trough comprises several lakes, of which Schermützelsee west of the town centre is the largest.

Overview

The town arose at the site of a former Slavic (Wendish) settlement which according to archaeological findings possibly arose in the mid 9th century, its name referring to the Slavic: buk, "beech". The Märkische Schweiz area was part of Lubusz Land held by Prince Mieszko I of Poland in the late 10th century, which later formed the northwestern part of the Duchy of Silesia. In 1224 the Piast duke Henry I the Bearded granted large estates to the Cistercian monks of Lubiąż (Leubus) and Trzebnica (Trebnitz) Abbey and had the lands settled with German-speaking colonists.

From about 1249/50 the Ascanian margraves of Brandenburg took control over Lubusz Land, initially rivalling with the Prince-Archbishops of Magdeburg. Buchowe was first mentioned in a 1253 deed issued by Archbishop Rudolf von Dingelstädt. It is also mentioned in the 1375 land register of Emperor Charles IV and already is called an oppidum in a 1405 purchase contract.

Buckow

Castle grounds

Buckow was devastated during a Hussite campaign on 17 April 1432. The House of Hohenzollern elector Frederick II of Brandenburg vested the farming citizens with market rights in 1465. During early modern times, Buckow evolved to a centre of hop growing and brewing. The town privileges were officially confirmed in 1550.

In the 17th century the estates were held by the Pfuel noble family and in 1688 were acquired by the Brandenburgian field marshal Heino Heinrich von Flemming, who had the Baroque Buckow Castle erected, which, rebuilt in a 19th-century Neoclassical style according to plans designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, was heavily damaged in World War II and demolished in 1948. The extended English landscape gardens have been preserved.

Brecht-Weigel-Haus

With the opening of the Prussian Eastern Railway station at neighbouring Müncheberg in 1865, followed by a direct narrow gauge railway connection to Buckow in 1897, the town due to its picturesque setting became a popular destination for daytrippers from Berlin and several well-off families had summer cottages erected. The writer Egon Kisch spent holidays here, as did the artist John Heartfield. From 1952 Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel had their summer residence in Buckow, where Brecht wrote his Buckow Elegies in response to the Uprising of 1953 in East Germany. The villa today is a memorial site and a place for readings.

Edinburgh Trade Union Council

The Edinburgh Trade Union Council brings together trade union branches in Edinburgh in Scotland.

The first permanent trades council in Edinburgh appears to have been formed in 1853, one of the first in the UK. However, the earliest records of the current council date to 1859, founded as the Edinburgh Trades Council, and it is to this date that a continuous existence can be proved.

The Scottish Land and Labour League, founded in 1884, started working closely with the trades council during the Broxburn miners' strike of 1887, and the following year the two bodies co-sponsored the first Scottish Socialist Societies conference, with the Social Democratic Federation and Edinburgh Christian Socialists; this led to the formation of the Scottish Socialist Federation (SSF).Independent Labour Party (ILP).Labour Standard, could continue, although it only survived three more years.

The council also helped organise unions in industries where there was no body in place; for example, in 1889, it organised a local branch of the National Union of Dock Labourers.

The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) was influential in the council from the 1920s, but it never held a majority, and the council repeatedly voted down proposals to affiliate to the CPGB.

By the 1950s, the council had been renamed the Edinburgh and District Trades Council, and in 1993 it took its current name.

HD 170469 b

HD 170469 b is a gas giant exoplanet located approximately 212 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus, orbiting the star HD 170469. This planet was discovered in April 2007. The star is 1.1 solar mass and the planet is at least 67% the mass of Jupiter, orbiting about half the distance of Jupiter from the Sun. The mass value is only minimum since the inclination is unknown.

The orbital distance is more than twice the distance from Earth to the Sun, although taking over three Earth years to orbit the star. The combined distance and period would make orbital velocity of 19.8 km/s, slower than Earth's 29.8 km/s.

Duarte Galvão

Galvão depicted in his Chronica

Duarte Galvão (1435/1440 – 9 June 1517) was a Portuguese courtier, diplomat and chronicler.

Duarte was born at Évora between about 1435 and 1440. His father, Rui Galvão, was a clerk of the royal chamber (escrivão da cámara) before 1429, then secretary of King Edward (1433–1438) and finally clerk of the purity (escrivão da puridade) under Afonso V (1438–1481). He led several embassies to the Kingdom of Castile. Duarte had an older brother, João Galvão, who was the bishop of Coimbra (1460–1481) and then archbishop of Braga (1481–1485). He served as legate to Portugal for Pope Pius II from 1461 until 1464.

From 1464, Duarte was a secretary and notary to the crown under kings Afonso V, John II and Manuel I, who entrusted him with many embassies. In 1489, he was sent to the French court to declare war on King Charles VIII of France. Between 1503 and 1505, at the request of Manuel I, Duarte wrote a chronicle of the reign of Portugal's first king, Afonso Henriques. Known as the Chronica do Muito Alto e Muito Esclarecido Principe D. Afonso Henriques, Primeiro Rey de Portugal, it is Duarte's only known literary work. The manuscript is kept in the Torre do Tombo National Archive. It was edited by Miguel Lopes Ferreira and printed in 1726, the first in a series of chronicles of Portugal's early kings.Rui de Pina.

At the court of Manuel I, Duarte favoured Portuguese involvement in the Indian Ocean. This he justified by appeal to the millenarian teachings of Joachim of Fiore and the objectives of recovering Jerusalem and blockading of the Red Sea. An undated letter by Duarte to Afonso de Albuquerque develops his religious conception of the Portuguese expeditions. Another letter of Duarte's, probably from 1514, was addressed to António Carneiro, the secretary of state.


Duarte Galvão

In 1515, Duarte led the embassy that accompanied Matthew, the ambassador of Queen Helena of Ethiopia, on his return journey to Ethiopia. Francisco Álvares took part in this mission. They embarked on 7 April 1515 with Lopo Soares de Albergaria, who was to replace Afonso de Albuquerque as governor of Portuguese India. Because of the rivalry between Albergaria and Albuquerque, Duarte's mission was stranded in Goa until early 1517. He died o 9 June 1517 on the island of Kamaran before reaching Ethiopia.

Duarte Galvão's first wife was Catarina de Sousa de Albuquerque, first cousin of Afonso de Albuquerque. They were wed on 11 April 1475, when she was between 19 and 24 years old. They had one daughter, Isabel de Albuquerque Galvão, who on 25 April 1504 married Jorge Garcês, secretary of Manuel I. He married his second wife, Catarina da Silva Vasconcelos, in 1486, when she was between 25 and 28 years old. She outlived him, dying on 23 February 1524. With her, he had three daughters (Isabel, Leonor and Violante, who married Pedro Anes do Canto) and seven sons (Guiomar, Simão, António, Jorge, Manuel, Francisco and Rui). He also had two illegitimate sons, another António and Pedro Vieira da Silva.

Circumflex scapular artery

The circumflex scapular artery (scapular circumflex artery, dorsalis scapulae artery) is a branch of the subscapular artery and part of the scapular anastomoses.

It curves around the axillary border of the scapula, traveling through the anatomical "Triangular space" made up of the Teres minor superiorly, the Teres major inferiorly, and the long head of the Triceps laterally.

It enters the infraspinatous fossa under cover of the Teres minor, and anastomoses with the transverse scapular artery (suprascapular) and the descending branch of the transverse cervical (a.k.a. dorsal scapular artery).

Branches

In its course it gives off two branches:

  * one (infrascapular) enters the subscapular fossa beneath the Subscapularis, which it supplies, anastomosing with the transverse scapular artery and the descending branch of the transverse cervical.
  * the other is continued along the axillary border of the scapula, between the Teres major and minor, and at the dorsal surface of the inferior angle anastomosis with the descending branch of the transverse cervical (dorsal scapular).

In addition to these, small branches are distributed to the back part of the Deltoid and the long head of the Triceps brachii, anastomosing with an ascending branch of the deep artery of arm.

Kosaka mine

The Kosaka mine (小坂鉱山, Kosaka Kozan) was one of the largest copper, lead and zinc mines in Japan.Tōhoku region of northern Japan in the town of Kosaka, Akita Prefecture. The mine had reserves amounting to 30 million tonnes of ore grading 2.84% lead, 8.48% zinc, 1.1 million oz of gold and 177.3 million oz of silver.

History

In 1816, development of gold and silver deposits began under the Nambu clan of Morioka Domain, with the mine under the control of the Fujita-gumi mining guild. After the Meiji restoration, in 1871, the mine was nationalized, and in 1873 the foreign advisor Curt Netto was recruited by the Japanese government was placed in charge of modernizing the mine. Dowa Holdings, one of the largest non-ferrous metals producers in Japan.

Following 1901, improvements in smelting technology enabled the company to exploit its large deposits of “black ore” (a mixture of copper, zinc and lead). In order to attract workers to the remote location, the company built much of the local infrastructure, including apartments, a hospital, theatre, as well as a railroad to connect the town to the Ou Main Line railway at Ōdate. By 1907, it was the largest producer of copper in Japan. Ashio Copper Mine.

Mining was interrupted during World War II due to gradual depletion of the mineral deposits. However, a new vein was discovered in the 1960s, which allowed mining to resume until 1990.

Status

The Meiji period Kosaka Mine Headquarters and Korakukan kabuki theatre have been designated Important Cultural Property in 2002. The mine itself is no longer an active mine, and its site is now occupied by Green Fill Kosaka, one of Japan's largest capacity private-sector final waste treatment disposal facilities

Ben Moss Jewellers

Ben Moss Jewellers is a Canadian jewellery store company.

History

Ben Moss Jewellers was founded by Ben Moss in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1910.

Upon Moss' passing in 1962, his son-in-law Sidney Trepel took over the single store. From 1962 till 1986, Trepel expanded Ben Moss Jewellers from one store to 17 stores in shopping centres across the prairies. In 1986, Moss' grandson, Brent Trepel, took over the running of the company due to his father's poor health, becoming president and CEO from May 1986 until July 2013, when the company was sold to JSN Jewellery, a manufacturer based out of Toronto.

During his tenure as president and CEO, Brent grew the company to become a leading national retail jewelry chain in Canada with 67 stores and over 600 employees. Under his leadership, Ben Moss Jewellers was named one of the "50 Best Managed Private Companies in Canada" for six consecutive years, "The Most Innovative Retailer of the Year" by the Retail Council of Canada, and "Jewelry Chain Retailer of the Year" by Canadian Jeweler Magazine for two consecutive years. Brent was also named one of “Canada’s Top 40 under 40” by the Financial Post and was a winner of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the business-to-consumer products and services category for the Prairie region.

In 2010, the company had 63 stores in western and central Canada.receivership in 2016. After over 100 years in business, the company announced in July 2016 that it would be shutting down its operations including all 54 store locations.

In January 2017, Halifax-based Charm Diamond Centres announced that it had acquired the brand rights to Ben Moss Jewellers. Charm rehired many former staff members and reopened 2 stores in Winnipeg, as well as announcing their intention to open several other stores in ensuing months.

Electromanipulation

Electromanipulation is a micro-material analyzing method mostly used for manipulations of biological cells that uses properties of diverse electric fields. In nanotechnology, nanomaterials are so small that they can hardly be directly mechanically manipulated. Hence, electric fields are applied to them to make field-induced movements or deformations. It is a recently developed technology and is still in progress of widening applications. Types of Electronmanipulation includes dielectrophoresis, electro-rotation, electro-deformation, electro-disruption, electro-destruction, electroporation, and electro-fusion. Diverse electromanipulations are achieved using various electric fields including AC(alternating current), DC(direct current), and pulsed(deliver high-energy discharges at very short periods) electrical fields. Electromanipulation of cells permits diverse cell manipulations with minimal mechanical contact between cells and device structures. Although predominantly used in cells, elctromanipulation also contributes to other scientific fields such as Hybridoma technology and nanoelectronic devices development.

Types of Electromanipulation

There are seven types of electromanipulation, some are drastically different in purpose and function while some are closely related. The most developed and common type is dielectrophoresis. Various manipulations of micro-materials can be achieved using one or several of the seven electromanipulation. Distinct types sometimes require various electric fields or conditions.

Dielectrophoresis (DEP)

Electric field applied: DC or AC oscillating (most cases)

Purpose: displacement

Condition: suspension media of low electrical conductivity; spatially non-uniform electric field

Theory: DEP force is produced by differential polarizability of cells and their suspending medium. There are two types of DEP force, positive DEP(pDEP) and negative DEP(nDEP). pDEP points towards strong regions of the nonuniform electric field while nDEP points towards weak regions of the nonuniform electric field. Live cells can quickly be attracted to the electrode edge when applying DEP, thus separating live cells and dead cells. Dielectric properties of cells can be analyzed using measurements of DEP spectra of cells.

Electro-rotation (ER)

Electric field applied: AC oscillating

Purpose: rotation


Electromanipulation

Purpose: rotation

Condition: suspension media of low electrical conductivity; frequency is approximately the crossover frequency(DEP force is negligible)

Theory: ER changes the alignment of non-spherical cells by changing the frequency of the oscillating electric field.

Electro-deformation (ED)

Electric field applied: AC oscillating

Purpose: deformation; compare viscoelastic and power-law properties of cells

Condition: suspension media of low electrical conductivity

Theory: ED controls and deforms cells that being attracted to the edge of the electrode edge(by DEP) by increasing AC potential

Electro-disruption

Electric field applied: pulsed

Purpose: disruption of subcellular structures

Condition: non-uniform electric field

Theory: ED performs electromanipulation inside a cell which has compromised cytoskeletons and a detached nuclei. Deradated cells eject cytosolic contents and become "ghosts"(about 1.5 times the normal cell size). Ghosts can be deflected by pulsed fields and inflected by ac fields.

Electro-destruction (lysis)

Electric field applied: pulsed

Purpose: lysis (the disintegration of a cell by rupture of the cell wall or membrane.)

Condition: non-uniform electric field

Theory: pDEP is used to increase the occurrence of lysis, and nDEP is used to decrease the occurrence of lysis. Conditions of cell lysis can be studied by switching pulsing amplitudes.

Electro-poration (EP) and Electro-fusion (EF)

Electric field applied: pulsed

Purpose: Cell-membrane disruption

Condition: non-uniform electric field; dielectrophoretic alignment of cells


Electromanipulation

Theory: Cell membrane disruption can be achieved by switching amplitude, duration, pulses rate and number of pulses of the pulsed electric field. When cells' membranes are disrupted, some cells merge into one big cell which can be 3-4 times the size of a normal cell. There are two types of EP: One is irreversible EP which can lead to cytolysis(the bursting of cell membrane when excess water is in the cell); the other is reversible EP which helps maintain cells’ vitality while transforming molecules into cells.

Development

In the early part of 20th century, discoveries of irreversible membrane breakdown and dielectrophoresis are made. Those discoveries serve as fundamental ideas of cellular electromanipulation. In late 20th century, cellular electromanipulation techniques was developed based on the discovery of later discovered reversible membrane breakdown.

Devices

Devices for various kinds of electromanipulation are constantly updating, some of newly invented EM devices are introduced in this section. Each device is dedicated to perform a unique kind of electromanipulation.

Multilayer Micro-electrode Structure

This multilayer micro-electrode structure is designed for selective manipulation and separation of bioparticles using traveling field dielectrophoresis.

Purpose

Multilayer micro-electrode structure enables bioparticles to move in a stationary supporting fluid which lead to stationary separations of viable and nonviable yeast cells. It can also achieve transportation of bioparticles in suspended mixtures. It also plays an important role as an integral component contributing to the "biofactory on a chip" technology.

Structure

It contains a base portion and a top portion. Each contains one layer of electrodes. The base part consists(from bottom to top):

 1. One layer of glass
 2. One thin layer of chromium
 3. A 0.1μm layer of gold
 4. Base electrode structure

After the base portion, an insulating layer is applied. On top of the insulating layer is the top part which consists(from bottom to top):

 1. Top electrode structure
 2. Another layer of 0.1μm chromium
 3. Another layer of 0.1μm gold


Electromanipulation

It also contains four electrical busbars to energize traveling field electrode arrays. Electrodes on each side of a channel are aligned with windows between electrodes on the opposite side. Opposing electrodes on each side of a channel were designed to be offset from each other.

Advantages Compare to Old Devices

 1. Minimize voltage usage and heat loss.
 2. Perform particle selection on very small sample.
 3. Act as building blocks in other technologies like biopocessors or biofactory chips.

Electroporation Device

An improved device to conduct electroporation was invented by Andrew M. Hoff, Richard Gilbert, Richard Heller, Mark J. Jaroszeski from University of South Florida in 2010.

Purpose

This device is dedicated to deliver a molecule into a tissue using electroporation.

Advantages Compare to Old Devices

 1. Has a much smaller scale
 2. Has a lower risk of damage cell; low activation energy and minimize tissue damage and patient discomfort
 3. Has lower applied power, voltage
 4. Deal with multiple target tissues at the same time
 5. Includes a reservoir of chemical species

Other Applications of Electromanipulation

Electromanipulation of Spin Crossover Nanorods

Spin Crossover complexes are formed by transition metal ions. They can switch between high spin and low spin which leads to changes of magnetic, optical, mechanical properties and more. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is used to perform molecular spin-state switching. It organizes nano-objects between the electrodes. DEP force aligns the SCO nanorods with the direction of electric field applied. Electromanipulation of spin crossover nanorods is a new field of electromanipulation that are possible building block techniques for nano electronic devices.

Electromanipulation of Droplets for Microfluidic Applications

Electromanipulation of droplets refers to using electric fields to move or shape small quantities of liquids. When applying a low frequency AC electric field to a high conductive liquid droplet inside a parallel capacitor, the droplet deforms into a new shape. By conducting numerous experiments, an equation which describes the deformation of liquid drop can be summarized.


Hypocephalus armatus

Hypocephalus armatus, the mole beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Vesperidae. It is the only species in the genus Hypocephalus. Both the genus and species were first described by Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest in 1832. It is found in Brazil and is popular in museums and collections for its curiosity value and adaptations to digging in soil that make them appear outwardly similar to the mole crickets.

Description

Hypocephalus armatus can reach a body length of about 45–58 millimetres (1.8–2.3 in). This rare species has an evident sexual dimorphism, as the very strong legs of the males are more developed than in females. It is similar in appearance to a mole cricket through convergent evolution. In both sexes the flight wings are absent, the prothorax is ovoid and shiny black, the dark brown elytra are fused together and the hind legs are much heavier than the others and adapted for digging. Adult males can be found from November to March, usually after the rains, when they dig into the soil.

The exceptional adaptations and taxonomic features have puzzled taxonomists since its description in 1832. It has been placed in the past in a family of its own, Hypocephalidae,

Distribution

This species is found in Brazil, in the north of Minas Gerais and southern Bahia. It has a fossorial habit and lives in underground galleries.

Dr. Holbrook's Military School

Dr. Holbrook's Military Schoolmilitary academy and boarding school for boys. The school was located in the town of Ossining and overlooked the Hudson River. After the 1906 annexation of Scarborough by the village of Briarcliff Manor, Holbrook's became part of the village within Ossining.

The school was founded in 1864 as Mr. Tracy's School. In 1866, after David A. Holbrook purchased the school, it became known as Dr. Holbrook's Military School. The school ran until 1915, after which it was used in World War I as a field hospital and headquarters to a New York Guard regiment. From 1919 until at least 1927, the school served as the Teachers College Country Club.

History

[Uniformed men in formation on a field]

Students at the school, c. 1888

And so the end of October found the regiment in comfortable
quarters, more secure than ever before, its lines weakened by
the ravages of influenza and its hospitals crowded to capacity,
but fighting unhampered and with hope. On the big football
field on the flat to the east of the headquarters buildings the
pigskin thumped merrily after work hours, and in the early
mornings the Headquarters Company and patients found plenty
of room for their callisthenics. Baths, lights, steam-heat, and such
comforts as the men who had served with the regiment from its
first days had never dreamed of, made life worth while.

T. R. Hutton, page 135

Saint Denis Institute was said to have occupied the land prior to the school. It was founded in 1864 as Mr. Tracy's School, a seminary for young women on a 10-acre (4.0 ha) estate. In 1866, Reverend David A. Holbrook, PhD, purchased the school, turned it into a boys' school, and enlarged it to 25 acres (10 ha). It had 60 students.

After Holbrook's death in December 1898, Dr. Holbrook's sons Dudley and Henry became involved with running the school. They were joined in 1899 by their brother Dwight, and ran the school until its closure as Holbrook's Preparatory School for Boys. When it closed in 1915 the school had 80 students.


Dr. Holbrook's Military School

Shortly after the school's closure, in 1917, events in World War I led the New York Guard's First Provisional Regiment (1,500 men operating under Colonel John B. Rose)Croton Aqueduct. Captain Charles W. Baldwin, Chaplain of the regiment and Rector of Saint Mary's Episcopal Church in Scarborough and also in present-day Briarcliff Manor, arranged a deal with V. Everit Macy, then the owner of the school estate, for free use of the campus and buildings until three months after the war's end.

The regiment, originally headquartered at Pines Bridge Inn on Croton Lake, moved its headquarters to the Holbrook Military Academy,American Red Cross.

In June 1919, V. Everit Macy gave the property, buildings, and $7,500 for remodeling to the Teachers College Country Club; Macy was chairman of the college's board of trustees at the time. The club was founded on October 4, 1919, and initially used a building called Hill Cottage, which it outgrew shortly thereafter. The club opened there on September 1, 1919, and existed there until at least 1927.Walter W. Law gave the club's members (which numbered 200 in 1920) the right to use Briarcliff Manor's 9-hole golf course, the present-day Trump National Golf Club.

Curricula

The school as the First Provisional Regiment headquarters

In 1903 the school consisted of six forms, the first two making up the lower school and the remaining four making up the upper school; in the upper school students chose from three curricula: classical, Latin-scientific, or English-scientific. Students received grades for deportment, application, spelling, declamation and composition, church attendance, and skill at military drill, as well as in classes where they learned arithmetic, algebra, French, Latin, German, and Greek.

Hestan Island

Hestan Island is a small coastal island at the southern foot of the River Urr estuary in the Solway Firth, in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. This small island measures approximately 460 by 270 metres (1,510 by 890 feet) and at its highest elevation sits at just over 50 metres (160 feet) above sea level.

The isle of Hestan lies at the mouth of Auchencairn BayDumfries and Galloway in the former county of Kirkcudbrightshire. A lighthouse was built on the eastern side of the island by Alan Stevenson in 1850.

At certain conditions of low tide the island is accessible on foot as there is a natural causeway of shingle and mussels from Almorness Point to the northern tip of Hestan. The island can also be reached on foot from Rockcliffe during the time of spring tides, but requires wading (knee to thigh deep) across the lowest parts of the river Urr out on the mudflats. It is a two-mile walk and, unlike other parts of the Solway mudflats and, say, Morecambe Bay, you can walk faster than the incoming tide if you leave Hestan a bit late.

At the southern tip of the island is the notably-named "Daft Ann's Steps", a series of pinnacles where, legends say, a girl of lesser intelligence attempted to lay stepping stones ahead of her to reach the Balcary Point and drowned.

There are ruins of a manor house built for Edward Balliol near the north of the island.

In the 18th century the island was used as a centre of smuggling activity, with goods being stored in the caves on the south west of the island where there was reputed to have been shelves cut into the rock. Samuel Rutherford Crockett made great play with this in his novel The Raiders.

The island is a popular destination for sea kayakers.

Hestan Island is one of 43 tidal islands that can be walked to from the mainland of Great Britain and one of 17 that can be walked to from the Scottish mainland.
