Aops
''Aops'' is a monotypic genus of scorpions in the Urodacidae family. Its sole species is the troglobitic ''Aops oncodactylus'', which is endemic to Australia. It was first described in 2008 by Erich Volschenk and Lorenzo Prendini. Etymology The generic name ''Aops'' comes from the Greek prefix ''a-'' (‘without’) and ''ops'' (‘eye’) because the scorpion is eyeless. The specific epithet ''oncodactylus'' derives from the Greek ''onkos'' (‘hook’) and ''daktylos'' (‘finger’) for the hooked ends of the pincer chelae. Description The single specimen found, the holotype, is a juvenile female. It is the first troglobitic urodacid and the first troglobitic scorpion to be recorded from continental Australia. The specimen exhibits troglomorphic (adapted to cave-dwelling) features, including lack of eyes and pigmentation; it was blind, and its colouring was white to yellowish-cream. Distribution and habitat The species was discovered in the course of a biotic survey of the ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Advanced Oxidation Process
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), in a broad sense, are a set of chemical treatment procedures designed to remove organic (and sometimes inorganic) materials in water and wastewater by oxidation through reactions with hydroxyl radicals (·OH). In practice within wastewater treatment, this term usually refers more specifically to a subset of such chemical processes that employ ozone (O3), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and UV light or a combination of the few processes. Common AOP configurations often include Fenton and photo-Fenton systems, in addition to ozone/UV, TiO₂/UV photocatalysis, and Electro-Fenton systems. Description AOPs rely on in-situ production of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (·OH) or other oxidative species for oxidation of contaminant. These reactive species can be applied in water and can oxidize virtually any compound present in the water matrix, often at a diffusion-controlled reaction speed. Consequently, ·OH reacts unselectively once formed and contami ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ocean Optics
Ocean optics is the study of how light interacts with water and the materials in water. Although research often focuses on the sea, the field broadly includes rivers, lakes, inland waters, coastal waters, and large ocean basins. How light acts in water is critical to how ecosystems function underwater. Knowledge of ocean optics is needed in Water remote sensing, aquatic remote sensing research in order to understand what information can be extracted from the Color of water, color of the water as it appears from satellite sensors in space. The color of the water as seen by satellites is known as ocean color. While ocean color is a key theme of ocean optics, optics is a broader term that also includes the development of underwater sensors using optical methods to study much more than just color, including ocean chemistry, particle size, imaging of microscopic plants and animals, and more. Key terminology Optically deep Where waters are “optically deep,” the bottom does not refle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Harry DeWolf-class Offshore Patrol Vessel
''Harry DeWolf''-class offshore patrol vessels are warships of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) built within the Government of Canada Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship (AOPS) procurement project, part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy. In July 2007 the federal government announced plans for acquiring six to eight icebreaking warships for the RCN. The vessels are modelled on the Norwegian Coast Guard and as of 2007 were projected to cost to construct with a total project procurement budgeted to cost $4.3 billion in order to cover maintenance over the 25-year lifespan of the vessels. In 2018 it was reported that the cost of the first six ships had increased by $810 million over previous projections. In 2023 it was reported that the cost for the first six ships had increased by a further $780 million and that of the two envisaged vessels for the Coast Guard by an additional $100 million. The lead ship of the class was announced as in September 2014, and four additional ships we ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Richard Rusczyk
Richard Rusczyk (); born September 21, 1971) is an American mathematician. He was the founder and chief executive officer of Art of Problem Solving Inc. and a co-author of the ''Art of Problem Solving'' textbooks. Rusczyk was a national Mathcounts participant in 1985, and he won the USA Math Olympiad (USAMO) in 1989. He is one of the co-creators of the Mandelbrot Competition, and a former director of the USA Mathematical Talent Search (USAMTS). He also founded the San Diego Math Circle. Early life Richard Rusczyk was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho in 1971. He signed up for the MathCounts program when he was in middle school. As a high schooler, Rusczyk was a part of his high school math team and took part in the American Mathematics Competitions. Rusczyk would later go on to win the USA Math Olympiad (USAMO) and make the alternates for the USA team for the International Math Olympiad (IMO). Rusczyk would later go on to attend Princeton University, which he graduated from in 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Australian Open Pickleball Slam
Pickleball, a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, was invented in the United States in 1965, on Bainbridge Island, Washington. Labeled the fastest growing sport in the United States since 2021, the sport is rapidly gaining popularity in Australia. In September 2024 AusPlay, a report issued by Australia's Clearinghouse for Sport, in coordination with the Australian Sports Commission, found that as of June 2024 over 92,000 Australians had played the sport in the previous year. Trilogy Funds, the title sponsor for the 2024 Australian pickleball championships, declared pickleball as, "Australia's fastest growing sport". History The first time pickleball is known to have been played in Australia was in 2010 in the Sunshine Coast Region of Queensland, but it wasn't until 2015 that the sport started to be taken more seriously. The first purpose-built Australian pickleball courts were installed in 2016, in Caboolture, Queensland, with the first pi ...
