Sedna (mythology)
Sedna (, previously ''Sedna'' or ''Sidne'') is the goddess of the sea and marine animals in Inuit religion, also known as the Mother of the Sea or Mistress of the Sea. The story of Sedna, which is a creation myth, describes how she came to rule over Adlivun, the Inuit equivalent of the underworld. In sculptures, Sedna is often depicted with the head and upper body of a woman and the tail of a marine mammal, similar to a mermaid. Other names Sedna is known as Arnakuagsak or Arnaqquassaaq in parts of Greenland. She is called Sassuma Arnaa ('Mother of the Deep') in West Greenlandic and Nerrivik ('Table', Inuktun) or Nuliajuk (Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada). She is sometimes known by other names by different Inuit groups such as Arnapkapfaaluk ('Big Bad Woman') of the Copper Inuit from the Coronation Gulf area and Takánakapsâluk or Takannaaluk (Igloolik). In Killiniq, Labrador, she was referred to as 'Old-woman-who-lived-in-the-sea'. Myth More than one version of the S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sedna (dwarf Planet)
Sedna (minor-planet designation: 90377 Sedna) is a dwarf planet in the outermost reaches of the Solar System, orbiting the Sun far beyond the orbit of Neptune. Discovered in 2003, the frigid planetoid is one of the reddest known among Solar System bodies. Detailed spectroscopic analysis has revealed Sedna's surface to be a mixture of the solid ices of water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ethane (C2H6), along with occasional sedimentary deposits of methane (CH4)-derived, vividly reddish-colored organic tholins, a surface chemical makeup somewhat similar to those of other trans-Neptunian objects. Sedna has no detectable atmosphere, as its temperature is far too low for solids to volatilize. Within range of uncertainty, it is tied with the dwarf planet in the asteroid belt as the largest dwarf planet not known to have a moon. With a diameter of roughly 1,000 km, it is nearly the size of Tethys around Saturn. Owing to its lack of known moons, the Keplerian laws of pl ...

Sedna (beverage)
Sedna was an alcoholic beverage made in Belfast, Ireland, and sold as a " tonic". In its earlier days it was made from port wine with the addition of extracts of coca leaf, kola nut and beef. From around 1923 its only advertised additive was the kola extract. The brand name was later used in Australia for a similar product, locally produced. History Sedna was first manufactured by Snaed Manufacturing Company (later Deans, Logan & Co. Ltd.), of 16 Commercial Court, Belfast, and went on sale in 1897. In 1898 the company had secured 10 outlets, which had grown to 100 in 1899. It has been suggested the brand name was chosen as "Andes" (source of the coca extract) spelled backwards, but it may be significant that both "Sedna" and "Snaed" are anagrams of "Deans". Alex Deans was a principal of the company, and uncle of George Deans (1875–1938), head of Charles Moore and Co.'s Perth, Western Australia, emporium. The company was in the hands of a liquidator in 1932. Australia Sedna wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sedna (database)
Sedna is an open-source database management system that provides native storage for XML data. The distinctive design decisions employed in Sedna are (i) schema-based clustering storage strategy for XML data and (ii) memory management based on layered address space.Ilya Taranov et al.

''Doriprismatica sedna'' is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae.Bouchet, P. (2012). Doriprismatica sedna. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=597380 on 2012-06-17 Taxonomy This species was previously placed in the genus '' Glossodoris'' Ehrenberg, 1831, but it was transferred to genus '' Doriprismatica'' by Johnson & Gosliner in 2012 on the basis of molecular results. Distribution Originally described from the Eastern Pacific, records from the Caribbean are considered the result of a recent introduction, presumably human-introduced. The indigenous distribution of ''Doriprismatica sedna'' includes Eastern Pacific: from the Gulf of California to the Galapagos Islands and non-indigenous in the Western Atlantic: Florida, Belize, Bahamas and Panama.
