Cox's Orange Pippin
Cox's Orange Pippin, in Britain often referred to simply as Cox, is an apple cultivar first grown in 1825 or 1830 at Colnbrook in Buckinghamshire, England, by the retired brewer and horticulturist Richard Cox (horticulturist), Richard Cox. Though the parentage of the cultivar is unknown, Ribston Pippin seems a likely candidate. DNA analysis of major apple pedigrees has suggested Margil as the parent of Cox, with Ribston Pippin being another Margil seedling. The variety was introduced for sale by the 1850s by Charles Turner, and grown commercially from the 1860s, particularly in the Vale of Evesham in Worcestershire, and later in Kent. Description and uses 'Cox's Orange Pippin' is highly regarded for its excellent flavour and attractive appearance. The apples are of medium size, Orange (fruit), orange-red in colour, deepening to bright red and mottled with carmine over a deep yellow background. The flesh is very aromatic, yellow-white, fine-grained, crisp, and very juicy. Cox's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cox Models
{{For, Cox models in statistics, proportional hazards models Cox Models, a former division of Estes Industries of Penrose, Colorado, was a multimillion-dollar hobby company, is one of the hobby industry's oldest companies and is noted for its production of miniature model internal-combustion engines. History The company, originally named The L. M. Cox Manufacturing Co, Inc., was founded in 1945 by the machinist Leroy_M._Cox, Roy Cox in Placentia, California. Cox grew up in and around his father's bicycle shop, and he developed an interest in mechanical devices. Cox's first products were wooden pop guns, produced in his home garage. Cox chose wood for his basic material, since metal was scarce during WW II. When metals became readily available in the United States in 1947, Cox turned his attention to new products, beginning with a die-cast toy, diecast metal car. This product was developed into a "whip car", a tethered vehicle which could be manually swung in a circle at high ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Proportional Hazards Models
Proportional hazards models are a class of survival models in statistics. Survival models relate the time that passes, before some event occurs, to one or more covariates that may be associated with that quantity of time. In a proportional hazards model, the unique effect of a unit increase in a covariate is multiplicative with respect to the hazard rate. The hazard rate at time t is the probability per short time d''t'' that an event will occur between t and t + dt given that up to time t no event has occurred yet. For example, taking a drug may halve one's hazard rate for a stroke occurring, or, changing the material from which a manufactured component is constructed, may double its hazard rate for failure. Other types of survival models such as accelerated failure time models do not exhibit proportional hazards. The accelerated failure time model describes a situation where the biological or mechanical life history of an event is accelerated (or decelerated). Background ...

Cytochrome C Oxidase
The enzyme cytochrome c oxidase or Complex IV (was , now reclassified as a translocasEC 7.1.1.9 is a large transmembrane protein complex found in bacteria, archaea, and the mitochondria of eukaryotes. It is the last enzyme in the Cellular respiration, respiratory electron transport chain of cell (biology), cells located in the membrane. It receives an electron from each of four cytochrome c molecules and transfers them to one oxygen molecule and four protons, producing two molecules of water. In addition to binding the four protons from the inner aqueous phase, it transports another four protons across the membrane, increasing the transmembrane difference of proton electrochemical potential, which the ATP synthase then uses to synthesize Adenosine triphosphate, ATP. Structure The complex The complex is a large integral membrane protein composed of several Cofactor (biochemistry)#Metal ions, metal prosthetic sites and 13 protein subunits in mammals. In mammals, ten subunits a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cox College is a private college associated with the CoxHealth System in Springfield, Missouri. History The college was established in 1907 as the Burge Deaconess Training School for Nurses. In 1996, the institution changed its name to Lester L. Cox College of Nursing & Health Sciences, and in 1997, it began offering the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.

The CoxHealth Board of Directors reaffirmed the decision, and the change became official when the Higher Learning Commission approved it. In anticipation of completing a $6.6 million renovation and expansion of the main campus in Springfield, the college received approval from the Missouri State Board of Nursing in 2019 to increase the size of its nursing classes from 250 to 400 students, making it the second largest nursing program in the state.

Coxswain (rowing)
In a rowing crew, the coxswain ( or ; colloquially known as the cox or coxie) is a crewmember who does not row but directs the boat. The coxswain sits facing the bow, unlike the rowers, and is responsible for steering the boat and coordinating the power and rhythm of the rowers. The coxswain's role while on the water is similar to that of an assistant coach or team captain, and they are sometimes also called upon to implement the training regimen or race plan. In most racing, coxswains may be of either sex regardless of the sex of the rowers. Often they are women, since women are more likely to be near the ideal weight of a cox, which is 110 lbs or 120 lbs for USRowing and 55 kg for World Rowing (see Sex, and Weight, below). Role The role of a coxswain in a crew is to: * Keep the boat and rowers safe at all times by properly steering the boat (according to the river or regatta rules and safety for the crew) * Be in command of the boat at all times * Co ...
