M36 Tank Destroyer
The M36 tank destroyer, formally 90 mm Gun Motor Carriage, M36, was an American tank destroyer used during World War II. The M36 combined the hull of the M10 tank destroyer, which used the M4 Sherman, M4 Sherman's reliable chassis and drivetrain combined with sloped armor, and a new turret mounting the 90 mm Gun M1/M2/M3, 90 mm gun M3. Conceived in 1943, the M36 first served in combat in Europe in October 1944, where it partially replaced the M10 tank destroyer. It also saw use in the Korean War, where it was able to defeat any of the Soviet tanks used in that conflict. Some were supplied to South Korea as part of the Military Assistance Program and served for years, as did re-engined examples found in Yugoslavia, which operated into the 1990s. Two remained in service with the Republic of China Army at least until 2001. The vehicle is also known by the nickname ''General Jackson'', or just ''Jackson'', which was originally assigned to the vehicle by the United States Army Or ...

List Of Egyptian Hieroglyphs
The total number of distinct Egyptian hieroglyphs increased over time from several hundred in the Middle Kingdom to several thousand during the Ptolemaic Kingdom. In 1928/1929 Alan Gardiner published an overview of hieroglyphs, Gardiner's sign list, the basic modern standard. It describes 763 signs in 26 categories (A–Z, roughly). Georg Möller compiled more extensive lists, organized by historical epoch (published posthumously in 1927 and 1936). In Unicode, the block ''Egyptian Hieroglyphs'' (2009) includes 1071 signs, organization based on Gardiner's list. As of 2016, there is a proposal by Michael Everson to extend the Unicode standard to comprise Möller's list.

Symphony No
A symphony is an extended musical composition in Western classical music, most often for orchestra. Although the term has had many meanings from its origins in the ancient Greek era, by the late 18th century the word had taken on the meaning common today: a work usually consisting of multiple distinct sections or movements, often four, with the first movement in sonata form. Symphonies are almost always scored for an orchestra consisting of a string section (violin, viola, cello, and double bass), brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments which altogether number about 30 to 100 musicians. Symphonies are notated in a musical score, which contains all the instrument parts. Orchestral musicians play from parts which contain just the notated music for their own instrument. Some symphonies also contain vocal parts (e.g., Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, or Mahler's Second Symphony). Etymology and origins The word ''symphony'' is derived from the Greek word (), meaning ...

Mires In The British National Vegetation Classification System
This article gives an overview of the Bog, mire plant communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. Introduction The mire communities of the NVC were described in Volume 2 of ''British Plant Communities'', first published in 1991, along with the Heaths in the British National Vegetation Classification system, heath communities. In total, 38 mire communities have been identified. The mire communities consist of a number of separate subgroups. * five bog plane communities (British NVC community M17, M17, British NVC community M18, M18, British NVC community M19, M19, British NVC community M20, M20 and British NVC community M21, M21) * two wet heath communities (British NVC community M15, M15 and British NVC community M16, M16) * four bog-pool communities (British NVC community M1, M1, British NVC community M2, M2, British NVC community M3, M3 and British NVC community M4, M4) * four base-poor small sedge & rush communities (British NVC community M5, M5, Bri ...

Haplogroup M (mtDNA)
Haplogroup M is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. An enormous haplogroup spanning all the continents, the macro-haplogroup M, like its sibling the macro-haplogroup N, is a descendant of the haplogroup L3. All mtDNA haplogroups considered native outside of Africa are descendants of either haplogroup M or its sibling haplogroup N. Haplogroup M is relatively young, having a younger most recent common ancestor date than some subclades of haplogroup N such as haplogroup R. Origins There is a debate concerning the geographical origins of Haplogroup M and its sibling haplogroup N. Both lineages are thought to have been the main surviving lineages involved in the out of Africa migration (or migrations) because all indigenous lineages found outside Africa belong to haplogroup M or haplogroup N. Scientists are unsure whether the mutations that define haplogroups M and N occurred in Africa before the exit from Africa or in Asia after the exit from Africa. Determining th ...

Vollum Strain
The Vollum strain is one of the 89 known strains of the anthrax bacterium (''Bacillus anthracis''). It is named Vollum after Roy Vollum, the Canadian-born bacteriologist who first isolated it from a cow in Oxford, England. The "Vollum 14578" strain was selected for use in the bioweapons trials on Gruinard Island, which took place in 1942. Like other forms of anthrax, the Vollum strain becomes more virulent with exposure to more hosts. A sub-strain called Vollum 1B was weaponized and was used in American warheads during the 1960s, but its origin is controversial. One theory that originated from a bio weapons veteran, William C. Patrick III, is that Vollum 1B came from being altered when the microbiologist William A. Boyles inhaled anthrax spores on the job. According to him, the "B" is there to stand for Boyles. A competing theory is based on the fact that during the 1940s and 1950s, a British biological weapons program worked to enhance the virulence of the strain by passing i ...

Messier 36
Messier 36 or M36, also known as NGC 1960 or the Pinwheel Cluster, is an open cluster of stars in the celestial hemisphere, somewhat northern Auriga (constellation), Auriga constellation. It was discovered by Giovanni Batista Hodierna before 1654, who described it as a nebulous patch. The cluster was independently re-discovered by Guillaume Le Gentil in 1749, then Charles Messier observed it in 1764 and added it to his catalogue. It is about 1,330 parsecs, pc (4,340 light years) away from Earth. The cluster is very similar to the Pleiades cluster (Messier 45, M45), and if as far away it would be of similar apparent magnitude. This cluster has an angular diameter of and a core radius of . It has a mass of roughly and a linear tidal radius (cluster), tidal radius of . Based upon Photometry (astronomy), photometry, the age of the cluster has been estimated by Wu et al. (2009) as 25.1 Myr and Myr by Bell et al. (2013).

New South Wales M36 Class Locomotive
The M36 class (X10 class post 1924) is a class of steam locomotives built for the New South Wales Government Railways in Australia. History In the late 1860s, four more of the 1 class where manufactured by Mort's Dock Sydney in 1870-71. Another four locomotives of the M.36 class were manufactured at Eveleigh Railway Workshops in 1876-77 using re-built tenders from Locomotive No.1-4. Two of the class later had cab shelters fitted to the tenders for suburban running. Preservation All engines of the class were scrapped in the period 1891-1904 with the exception of No. 78 See also * NSWGR steam locomotive classification In the first 36 years of its existence, the NSW Railways introduced 42 separate classes of locomotives.
