title: "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" content: Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum "is a fern distinctive for its undivided, kidney-shaped fronds, which give the plant its English common name, the kidney fern. The fronds, or laminae, are 3–10 cm by 4–13 cm and are a shiny, translucent green. The translucent nature of the kidney fern’s fronds is due to them being very thin, only one cell thick as a sporeling, which increases to 3-4 cells when the plant reaches maturity. The fronds are supported on brittle stipes 5–25 cm in length. Mature plants have a row of sori (a collection of sporangia) crowning the upper margin of their

A feature "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" shares with some other filmy ferns is the ability to curl up tightly during dry conditions in order to reduce moisture loss; this gives kidney fern one of its Māori common names, kopakopa (to wrap or clasp). After rain or when conditions improve, it unfurls and recovers. The scientific names "Trichomanes reniforme" and "Cardiomanes reniforme" have previously been used for kidney fern. However, phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences have shown kidney fern to be part of "Hymenophyllum", and a name in that genus is what is


title: "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" content: used in the Flora of New Zealand. "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" is endemic to New Zealand, meaning it is native to and found only in New Zealand. Other members of the "Hymenophyllum "genus can be found throughout the world as well as New Zealand. "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" is found throughout the North Island and in northern, western, and southern regions of the South Island, as well as Stewart Island and the Chatham Islands. It is not recorded from the eastern side of the South Island. "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" is found in a wide range of habitats from wet forests to lava fields; however, it


title: "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" content: is most frequently found in moister forests up to an altitude of 780 meters. This preference for moist forest is likely the cause of its absence from most of the eastern side of the South Island; however, its ability to curl up is what gives it a tolerance to a wide range of habitats. "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" inhabits the forest floor where it will often form extensive mats, as well as on banks, rocks, fallen trees and as an epiphyte on lower trunks and branches. Like all ferns, "Hymenophyllum neprhophyllum" reproduces and disperses offspring through spores. It has tubular indusia (spore


title: "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" content: protecting structures) that stick out from the edge of the fronds. Stalks carrying sori, with sporangia that develop sequentially from base to apex, grow out of the indusia until at plant maturity they emerge and release their spores. "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" also spreads by vegetative reproduction, putting out far-creeping rhizomes (an underground stem that puts out adventitious shoots and roots) that form the distinctive mats of fronds on the forest floor. Little else grows in mats of "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" as the rhizomes produce a compound inhibiting the root growth of seedlings of other species The lifecycle of the fern could not

As "Hymenophyllum neprhophyllum" mainly inhabits moist forests, it requires a relatively damp soil; however, the kidney fern is poikilohydric and has adapted to a variety of habitats. This has given it the ability to store water in drier weather, which it does by shrivelling up and expanding again once rain returns. The caterpillars from the moth family Tortricidae are known to feed on "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum". The caterpillars of these filmy-fern leaf-tyer moths can be found in silk tubes attached to the plants fronds, which may have been woven together

Due to the specific climatic and soil conditions that ferns require human based threats to their survival include habitat loss through forest clearance and introduced invasive plants. The species epithet for "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" is a reference to its fronds: from the Greek "nephron" (kidney-shaped) and "phyllus" (leaved). The "reniforme" epithet of the two synonyms "Trichomanes reniforme" and "Cardiomanes reniforme" is also in reference to the frond shape. The genus name "Cardiomanes" also arises from reference to the distinctive frond shape: Greek "kardia" (heart) and "manos" (thin). "Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum" has several traditional

Jennings Osborne (1943–2011), along with his wife Mitzi, founded the "Arkansas Research Medical Testing Center" in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1968. The business' success allowed him and his wife to eventually purchase a large

In 1986, Breezy asked her father if they could decorate their home in lights. Osborne complied, stringing 1000 lights around their home. "Each year after that, it got bigger and bigger," Osborne would later recall. Eventually Osborne purchased the two properties adjacent to his own and expanded the display into them. By 1993, the display had over three million lights. Some of the more prominent features included: The lights were extremely popular in both in Arkansas and around the world,

Since their house was located on one of the busiest streets in Little Rock, it eventually caused severe traffic issues, and lots of complaints. The display grew bigger every year, and by 1993, was lit for 35 days during the Christmas season, from sunset to about midnight every day. Six neighbors filed a lawsuit, saying traffic congestion made trips to the corner store take two hours, and they feared emergency vehicles could not get down the street. Osborne responded by adding three million more lights. The county court ordered an injunction


title: "The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights" content: against the display, limiting it to 15 days and directing that it be lighted only from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Osborne appealed first to the Arkansas Supreme Court and lost, then in 1994 to the United States Supreme Court, where Justice Clarence Thomas refused to halt the order. In 1995, the state Supreme Court shut down the display altogether. The Osbornes continued to have a light display, but on a much smaller scale well into the 2000s. After the September 11 attacks of 2001, they erected an enormous lighted American flag with the words "God Bless America and God


title: "The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights" content: Bless George W. Bush" across the top and bottom of the flag. This display remained up for several years, even as the strands of lights went out and the message was barely readable. The story of the light display's court case brought national attention, including offers from several cities to host the display. Walt Disney World project director John Phelan contacted Osborne's attorney about moving the display to the Orlando resort, and eventually discussed the potential move with Osborne himself. Osborne was intrigued by the offer, but initially understood that Disney wanted to put the display on another residential street


title: "The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights" content: in Orlando. What Phelan actually offered was to install the display on "Residential Street," a back-lot section at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park (then known by its original name, the Disney-MGM Studios). Being a fan of the resort himself, and realizing where the display would go, Osborne accepted Disney's offer. In 1995, the display was set up on Residential Street as "The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights," becoming an immediate success. Residential Street was visited using the Studio Backlot Tour's tram vehicles. When the light display was in place, however, the tram tours would stop before sunset, allowing guests to

Initially the display was purely the original lights from the Osborne estate, but in subsequent years the display was augmented to its current size of over five million lights. The display's Disney caretakers have also added a number of hidden Mickeys into the lights. The 2007 edition of the display featured over 40 of the icons. The display was made up of over of rope lighting connected by another of extension cords. The extension cords and lights were held together using two million ties. It took 20,000 man-hours to install the display each holiday season, starting

The lights were turned on at dusk each night, starting in mid-November and running into the first week of January, and required 800,000 watts of electricity. In 2004, the park began construction on a new arena for its upcoming "Lights! Motors! Action! Extreme Stunt Show", set to open in 2005. Part of the construction included the demolition of Residential Street, thus necessitating another move of the display. The solution was to move it to another part of the park, the New York Street set (now known as the Streets of America). As part of the move, the Studios

For the 2006 edition, the park added over 1500 dimmer relay circuits and control switches to the display to enable the lights to dim on and off electronically. The relays were choreographed to a musical score, and the display was given its current

During this overhaul the lighting control was updated to a "state of the art" entertainment lighting system using light control boards from the company Light-O-Rama. This means all the previously choreographed dancing sequences had to be redone. While all these updates the production team wanted to change one more major element to the display, the canopy. The canopy in previous years was all red and separated in only 8 circuits, 4 on each side; now each light has

Since preservation needs usually well exceed an institution’s resources, the data acquired in an assessment can aid libraries in establishing priorities in regard to deteriorating materials. As Ross Harvey wrote in his "Preservation in Libraries", the data from surveys can "be used to plan how best to deploy available resources." The need for surveying library materials was born of the increasing awareness of the problem of brittle books. William Barrow’s "Deterioration of Book Stock: Problems and Remedies" from 1959 alerted the library world to the alarmingly short shelf

In recognition of his defence of Badajoz, Philippon was promoted to Major General ("Général de Division") on 9 July 1811, and he remained in command of the fortress's garrison. When the Allies returned to lay siege to the town in 1812, Philippon's defences once more obstructed attempts to capture it. The obstructions he constructed made the breaches in the fortress's walls impregnable, and Badajoz was only captured following the unexpected success of a diversionary escalade. When the town fell to the Allies on 6 April, following the Battle of Badajoz, Philippon retreated


title: "Xerocomellus chrysenteron" content: Xerocomellus chrysenteron Xerocomellus chrysenteron, formerly known as Boletus chrysenteron or Xerocomus chrysenteron, is a small, edible, wild mushroom in the family Boletaceae. These mushrooms have tubes and pores instead of gills beneath their caps. It is commonly known as the red cracking bolete. This mushroom was first described and named as "Boletus communis" in 1789 by the eminent French botanist Jean Baptiste Francois Pierre Bulliard. Two years later in 1791 it was given the specific epithet "chrysenteron" by the same author. The species name coming from the Ancient Greek words "khrysos" "gold" and "enteron" "innards". Almost one hundred years later


title: "Xerocomellus chrysenteron" content: in 1888 Lucien Quelet placed it in the new genus "Xerocomus", and retained the "chrysenteron" epithet. This binomial was generally accepted for almost another hundred years, until 1985 when Marcel Bon decided to resurrect the former specific epithet "communis", which resulted in the binomial "Xerocomus communis". It now resides back in the genus "Boletus", and sports its 1791 binomial, and authority once again, and is currently known as "Boletus chrysenteron" Bull. Recent phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of "X. chrysenteron" as the type species of the new genus "Xerocomellus", described by Šutara in 2008. Young specimens of "X. chrysenteron" often

When fully expanded, caps are 4 to 10 cm (1.6–4 in) in diameter with very little substance and thin flesh that turns a blue color when slightly cut or bruised. Caps mature to convex and plane in old age. Cracks in the mature cap reveal a thin layer of light red flesh below the skin. The 10 to 15 mm-diameter stems have no ring, are bright yellow and the lower part is covered in coral-red fibrils and has a constant elliptical to

"X. chrysenteron" has large, yellow, angular pores, and produces an olive brown spore print. Fruit bodies of "Xerocomellus chrysenteron " are also prone to infestation by the bolete eater ("Hypomyces chrysospermus"). Macroscopic observation of "Xerocomellus chrysenteron" is not sufficient to determine this species with certainty, as many intermediate forms occur between it and other taxa; in particular, some forms of "B. pruinatus" and "Hortiboletus rubellus" are hardly distinguishable from "B. chrysenteron" without the aid of microscopic characters. "B. porosporus" is also

Also this species is easily confused with "B. declivitatum". "Xerocomellus chrysenteron" grows singly or in small groups in hardwood/conifer woods from early fall to mid-winter. It is mycorrhizal with hardwood trees, often beech on well drained soils. It is frequent in parts of the northern temperate zones. The species has been recorded in Taiwan. It has been introduced to New Zealand, where it grows in groups under introduced deciduous trees. This species may not be as common as once

"Xerocomellus chrysenteron" is considered edible but not desirable due to bland flavor and soft texture. The pores are recommended to be removed immediately after mushrooms are picked as they rapidly decay. Young fungi are palatable and suitable for drying, but they become slimy when cooked; mature specimens are rather tasteless and decay quickly.

title: "Racial formation theory" content: The racial formation perspective emphasizes the extent to which race is a social and political construction that operates at two levels, the micro (individual identity) and the macro (collective social structure). The two levels interact to form a racial social movement when individuals at the micro level are mobilized in response to political racial injustice at the macro level. Becoming a citizen of this society is the process of learning to see race – that is, to ascribe social meanings and qualities to otherwise meaningless biological features. And in turn, race consciousness figures centrally in the building of a collective

The work replaced the courtyard's former parking lot and was designed to conceal ventilation shafts for an underground extension of the culture ministry's premises. Some of the columns extend below courtyard level and are surrounded by pools of water into which passersby toss coins. The project was the "brainchild" of the culture minister Jack Lang and elicited considerable controversy at the time. It was attacked for its cost and unsuitability to a historic landmark. Lang paid no attention to the orders of the Commission des Monuments Historiques, which objected to the plan.

Modern shock-capturing methods usually employ nonlinear numerical dissipation, where a feedback mechanism adjusts the amount of artificial dissipation added in accord with the features in the solution. Ideally, artificial numerical dissipation needs to be added only in the vicinity of shocks or other sharp features, and regions of smooth flow must be left unmodified. These schemes have proven to be stable and accurate even for problems containing strong shock waves. Some of the well-known classical shock-capturing methods include
