Wasp
A wasp is any insect of the narrow-waisted suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera which is neither a bee nor an ant; this excludes the broad-waisted sawflies (Symphyta), which look somewhat like wasps, but are in a separate suborder. The wasps do not constitute a clade, a complete natural group with a single ancestor, as bees and ants are deeply nested within the wasps, having evolved from wasp ancestors. Wasps that are members of the clade Aculeata can sting their prey. The most commonly known wasps, such as yellowjackets and hornets, are in the family Vespidae and are eusocial, living together in a nest with an egg-laying queen and non-reproducing workers. Eusociality is favoured by the unusual haplodiploid system of sex determination in Hymenoptera, as it makes sisters exceptionally closely related to each other. However, the majority of wasp species are solitary, with each adult female living and breeding independently. Females typically have an oviposit ...

The Wasps (Vaughan Williams)
''The Wasps'' is incidental music composed by the British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1909. It was written for the Cambridge Greek Play production of Aristophanes' ''The Wasps'' at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was Vaughan Williams' first of only three forays into incidental music. A later performance of the work was one of only a small number of performances conducted by Vaughan Williams that was committed to a recording.Alain Frogley: Liner Notes, UPC 094638215721. 2007. It was scored for baritone solo voices, a chorus of tenors and baritones (in two parts each), and orchestra. The complete incidental music is lengthy (about 1 hour and 45 minutes) and is not often performed. Vaughan Williams later arranged parts of the music into an orchestral suite (about 26 minutes), in five parts: # Overture # Entr'acte # March Past of the Kitchen Utensils # Entr'acte # Ballet and Final Tableau. The "Overture" is quite concise (about 10 minutes) and is a popular independent concert ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wide Angle Search For Planets
WASP or Wide Angle Search for Planets is an international consortium of several academic organisations performing an ultra-wide angle search for exoplanets using transit photometry. The array of robotic telescopes aims to Astronomical survey, survey the entire sky, simultaneously monitoring many thousands of stars at an apparent visual magnitude from about 7 to 13. WASP is the detection program composed of the Isaac Newton Group, Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, IAC and six universities from the United Kingdom. The two continuously operating, robotic observatories cover the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, respectively. SuperWASP-North is at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the mountain of that name which dominates La Palma in the Canary Islands. WASP-South is at the South African Astronomical Observatory, Sutherland, South Africa, Sutherland in the arid Roggeveld Mountains of South Africa. These use eight wide-angle cameras that simultaneously monitor the sky for pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome Protein
The Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) is a 502-amino acid protein expressed in cells of the hematopoietic system that in humans is encoded by the ''WAS'' gene. In the inactive state, WASp exists in an autoinhibited conformation with sequences near its C-terminus binding to a region near its N-terminus. Its activation is dependent upon CDC42 and PIP2 acting to disrupt this interaction, causing the WASp protein to 'open'. This exposes a domain near the WASp C-terminus that binds to and activates the Arp2/3 complex. Activated Arp2/3 nucleates new F-actin. WASp is the founding member of a gene family which also includes the broadly expressed N-WASP (neuronal Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein), SCAR/ WAVE1, WASH, WHAMM, and JMY. WAML (WASP and MIM like), WAWH (WASP without WH1 domain), and WHIMP (WAVE Homology in Membrane Protrusions) have more recently been discovered. Structure and function The Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome (WAS) family of proteins share similar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wasp 58
The Wasp 58 is a 58-mm rocket launcher antitank weapon developed in France in the late 1980s. The weapon was, originally, privately developed by the French firm Luchaire SA, subsidiary of GIAT. History In the early 1980s, Luchaire's sales department had noted the rising costs of light individual anti-armour/assault weapons were to the point that fewer and fewer could be purchased and that there was a need for a one-man anti-armor/assault weapon which could be purchased for a cost slightly higher than that of a rifle grenade, but with the greater accuracy and ease of use of a one-man rocket launcher The world export markets was the major considerations behind the development of the Wasp 58 by Luchaire. Description The Wasp 58 is a direct-fire weapon used to attack lightly armored vehicles at ranges up to 300 metres. It can also be used against bunkers or as a fire support weapon. The Wasp 58 is a one-man disposable weapon system based on the recoilless principle. On ignition ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
AGM-124 Wasp
The AGM-124 Wasp is a missile developed by the United States. The Wasp grew out of the 1975 WAAM (Wide-Area Anti-Armour Munitions) program initiated by the US Air Force in order to develop a series of new air-to-ground anti-armour weapons for close-support aircraft. The three-pronged program led to the CBU-92/B ERAM (Extended Range Anti-Armour Munition), the CBU-90/B ACM (Anti-Armour Cluster Munition), and the Wasp anti-armour missile. The Wasp is regarded as the most advanced of these weapons. Development began in 1979, with Boeing and Hughes Aircraft as the primary contractors. The specification called for a small missile which could be carried in large numbers by attack aircraft in multiple dispensers - the A-10 was able to carry several 12 round launcher pods. The Boeing design was unsuccessful, and the USAF selected the Hughes Wasp missile. The AGM-124A was a small weapon with folding wings and fins to reduce storage space within the launcher. It was intended to be launched ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Web Standards Project
The Web Standards Project (WaSP) was a group of professional web developers dedicated to disseminating and encouraging the use of the web standards recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium, along with other groups and standards bodies, with a primary focus on web clients (web browsers). Founded in 1998, The Web Standards Project campaigned for standards that reduced the cost and complexity of development while increasing the accessibility and long-term viability of any document published on the Web. WaSP worked with browser companies, authoring tool makers, and peers to encourage them to use these standards, since they "are carefully designed to deliver the greatest benefits to the greatest number of web users". The group dissolved in 2013. Organization The Web Standards Project began as a grassroots coalition "fighting for standards in our ebbrowsers" founded by George Olsen, Glenn Davis, and Jeffrey Zeldman in August 1998. By 2001, the group had achieved its primary g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
WASP (AM)
WASP (1130 AM) was a radio station formerly licensed to Brownsville, Pennsylvania, United States. It served the Pittsburgh area. The station was owned by Keymarket Licenses, LLC. History WASP was one of the first stations in a last round of FCC daytime-only licenses granted towards the end of the 1960s, at the time that FM was beginning to gain momentum. WASP was granted a license to broadcast on 1130 kHz, with a power of 1 kW non-directional while WKEG was granted a license to broadcast on 1110 kHz, 1 kW directional from nearby Washington, Pennsylvania at around this same time. When WASP increased its power in the early 1970s to 5 kW and because of the close proximity of WKEG, WASP had to adopt a directional antenna pattern during daytime hours and 1 kW non-direction pattern during "Critical Hours" (2 hrs morning and 2 hours evening) to protect their adjacent competitor. WASP was founded by Carl Loughry in the late 1960s and formed Brownsville ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Wasp (newspaper)
''The Wasp'' (often referred to as ''Nauvoo Wasp'') was a weekly Latter Day Saint newspaper edited and published by William Smith (Latter Day Saints), William Smith in Nauvoo, Illinois, from April 1842 to April 1843. While it was not an official publication of the Church of Christ (Latter Day Saints), Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, ''The Wasp'' was consistently pro-Mormon and its primary target audience was the Latter Day Saint residents of Nauvoo. ''The Wasp'' ceased publication when it was replaced by John Taylor (Mormon), John Taylor's similarly themed ''Nauvoo Neighbor''. ''The Wasp'' has been described as the "secular counterpart" of the Latter Day Saint Church's ''Times and Seasons''.Ronald W. Walker, David J. Whittaker & James B. Allen (historian), James B. Allen (2001). ''Mormon History''. (Urbana: University of Illinois) p. 208. The newspaper dedicated much of its space to answering the criticism by Thomas C. Sharp, Thomas C.
