Dryad
A dryad (; el, Δρυάδες, ''sing''.: ) is a tree nymph or tree spirit in Greek mythology. ''Drys'' (δρῦς) signifies " oak" in Greek, and dryads were originally considered the nymphs of oak trees specifically, but the term has evolved towards tree nymphs in general,Graves, ch. 86.2; p. 289 or human-tree hybrids in fantasy. Often their life force was connected to the tree in which they resided and they were usually found in sacred groves of the gods. They were considered to be very shy creatures except around the goddess Artemis, who was known to be a friend to most nymphs. Types Daphnaie These were nymphs of the laurel trees. Epimelides The Maliades, Meliades or Epimelides were nymphs of apple and other fruit trees and the protectors of sheep. The Greek word ''melas'', from which their name derives, means both apple and sheep. Hesperides, the guardians of the golden apples were regarded as this type of dryad.

William Scott Shipbuilders
William Scott Shipbuilders was a short-lived shipbuilder in Bristol, England in the 19th century and an early producer of steamships. The yard was important in the development of Bristol Shipbuilding. Scott's assistant, William Patterson, went on to build . History Origins & Shipowning The founder, William Scott (b. 1756), was part of a well known Scottish shipbuilding family from Greenock, and moved to Barnstaple, England, in the late-18th century to engage in the timber trade. With Christopher Scott (probably his brother) he purchased his first vessel in around 1810, the barque ''William'' for the New Brunswick to Baltic route. They later acquired a number of vessels including the sloop ''Pomona'' of 32 t, which they used as a packet on the Greenock-Bristol run. Shipbuilding Hilhouse vacated the shipyard and dry-dock at Wapping on the south side of the River Avon in 1824, and Scott seized the opportunity to enter shipbuilding with his son, James Mullen Scott, as Willia ...

Evelyn De Morgan
Evelyn De Morgan (30 August 1855 – 2 May 1919), née Pickering, was an English painter associated early in her career with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite Movement, and working in a range of styles including Aestheticism and Symbolism. Her paintings are figural, foregrounding the female body through the use of spiritual, mythological, and allegorical themes. They rely on a range of metaphors (such as light and darkness, transformation, and bondage) to express what several scholars have identified as spiritualist and feminist content. De Morgan boycotted the Royal Academy and signed the Declaration in Favour of Women's Suffrage in 1889. Her later works also deal with the themes of war from a pacifist perspective, engaging with conflicts like the Second Boer War and World War I. Early life She was born Mary Evelyn Pickering at 6 Grosvenor Street, to Percival Pickering QC, the Recorder of Pontefract, and Anna Maria Wilhelmina Spencer Stanhope, the sister of the a ...

Dryad Press
Dryad Press is an American small press and publisher. History Dryad Press got its beginning in 1967 when Merrill Leffler and Neil Lehrman founded ''Dryad'' magazine. Leffler was a writer and editor and is currently the poet laureate of Takoma Park, Maryland. His work has been published in books, and in journals like the Jewish Book Council's Paper Brigade. Lehrman was a partner in a CPA firm in addition to producing plays and poetry readings in San Francisco, where he lived. ''Dryad'' was originally a quarterly, but as time went on the issues were published on a more irregular basis. The magazine took its name from a line in the John Keats poem "Ode to a Nightingale." In 1974, ''Dryad'' began to publish books, including issues of ''Dryad'' that were published as books, leading to the establishment of Dryad Press. Dryad Press initially focused on poetry, but has since branched out to include both fiction and non-fiction. Dryad Press specializes in works relating to Jewish su ...

Dryad (programming)
Dryad was a research project at Microsoft Research for a general purpose runtime for execution of data parallel applications. The research prototypes of the Dryad and DryadLINQ data-parallel processing frameworks are available in source form at GitHub. Overview Microsoft made several preview releases of this technology available as add-ons to Windows HPC Server 2008 R2. An application written for Dryad is modeled as a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The DAG defines the dataflow of the application, and the vertices of the graph defines the operations that are to be performed on the data. The "computational vertices" are written using sequential constructs, devoid of any concurrency or mutual exclusion semantics. The Dryad runtime parallelizes the dataflow graph by distributing the computational vertices across various execution engines (which can be multiple processor cores on the same computer or different physical computers connected by a network, as in a cluster).
