Sella (grape)
Peloursin is red French wine grape variety best known for crossing with Syrah to make the red wine grape Durif (known in the United States as Petite Sirah).J. Robinson ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'' Third Edition pg 510 Oxford University Press 2006 Eric Asimov 'Petite Sirah's Extra Large Wallop'' ''The New York Times'' January 5th, 2005 The variety is believed to have originated in Isère from the northern Rhône-Alpes region. Today Peloursin can be found in some quantities in California and in the Australia wine region of Victoria.J.

Sella-class Destroyer
The ''Sella''-class destroyers were a group of four destroyers built for the (Royal Italian Navy) in the 1920s. Two of these ships fought in World War II and both were sunk after the Italian capitulation to the Allies. The two other ships were sold to the Swedish Navy in 1940 and were scrapped in the late 1940s. These ships formed the basis for most subsequent destroyers built by the Italians, but were disappointing in service with unreliable machinery. Design and description The ''Sella''-class destroyers were enlarged and improved versions of the preceding and . They had an overall length of , a beam of and a draft of . They displaced at standard load, and at deep load. Their complement was 8–9 officers and 144 enlisted men. The ''Sella''s were powered by two Parsons geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam supplied by three Yarrow boilers. The turbines were rated at for a speed of in service,Roberts, p. 298 although the ships reached spee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sella Italiano
The Sella Italiano is an Italian breed or stud-book of riding horse of sport horse type. It is bred to compete in showjumping, in dressage, in the three-day event and in endurance. History The stud-book of the Sella Italiano was established by ministerial decree in 1973, one of three sections of the ''Libro genealogico dei cavalli di razza'' to be administered by the Ente Nazionale Cavallo Italiano; the other two sections were for the registration of pure-bred Oriental horses (with separate sub-sections for Arab and Purosangue Orientale animals), and of Anglo-Arab stock. The breed blends the remnant indigenous Italian breeds of Maremmano, Salernitano and Persano horse with Anglo Arabo Sardo, Purosangue Orientale, Arabian and Thoroughbred. The progeny of these horses can be registered as Sella Italiano if they can pass a “performance test”. The stud book is open to other European warmbloods if they can pass the performance test and be approved by the breed regis ...

Sella Turcica
The sella turcica (Latin for 'Turkish saddle') is a saddle-shaped depression in the body of the sphenoid bone of the human skull and of the skulls of other hominids including chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans. It serves as a cephalometric landmark. The pituitary gland or hypophysis is located within the most inferior aspect of the sella turcica, the hypophyseal fossa. Structure The sella turcica is located in the sphenoid bone behind the chiasmatic groove and the tuberculum sellae. It belongs to the middle cranial fossa. The sella turcica's most inferior portion is known as the hypophyseal fossa (the "seat of the saddle"), and contains the pituitary gland (hypophysis). In front of the hypophyseal fossa is the tuberculum sellae. Completing the formation of the saddle posteriorly is the dorsum sellae, which is continuous with the clivus, inferoposteriorly. The dorsum sellae is terminated laterally by the posterior clinoid processes. Development It is widely believed th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Horseshoe Bat
Horseshoe bats are bats in the family Rhinolophidae. In addition to the single living genus, ''Rhinolophus'', which has about 106 species, the extinct genus '' Palaeonycteris'' has been recognized. Horseshoe bats are closely related to the Old World leaf-nosed bats, family Hipposideridae, which have sometimes been included in Rhinolophidae. The horseshoe bats are divided into six subgenera and many species groups. The most recent common ancestor of all horseshoe bats lived 34–40 million years ago, though it is unclear where the geographic roots of the family are, and attempts to determine its biogeography have been indecisive. Their taxonomy is complex, as genetic evidence shows the likely existence of many cryptic species, as well as species recognized as distinct that may have little genetic divergence from previously recognized taxa. They are found in the Old World, mostly in tropical or subtropical areas, including Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Horseshoe bats a ...

Parboiled Rice
Parboiled rice, also called converted rice, easy-cook rice, sella rice, and miniket (as predominantly called in West Bengal and Odisha in India, and in Bangladesh) is rice that has been parboiling, partially boiled in the husk. The three basic steps of parboiling are soaking, steaming and drying. These steps make the rice easier to process by hand, while also boosting its nutritional profile, changing its texture, and making it more resistant to Sitophilus, weevils. The treatment is practiced in many parts of the world. Parboiling drives nutrients, especially thiamine, from the bran to the endosperm, hence parboiled white rice is mostly nutritionally similar to brown rice. Given the pale tan color that results from these bran components, parboiled rice is sometimes called saffron sella. Process and chemistry The starches in parboiled rice become starch gelatinization, gelatinized, then retrogradation (starch), retrograded after cooling. Through gelatinization, amylose molecul ...
