28 Bellona
28 Bellona is a large main-belt asteroid. It was discovered by German astronomer R. Luther on March 1, 1854, and named after Bellōna, the Roman goddess of war; the name was chosen to mark the beginning of the Crimean War. Its historical symbol was Bellona's whip and spear; it is in the pipeline for Unicode 17.0 as U+1CECE 𜻎 (). Bellona is a stony ( S-type) asteroid with a cross-section size of around 100–120 km. 28 Bellona is orbiting the Sun with a period of 4.63 years. Bellona has been studied by radar. Photometric observations of this asteroid at the Palmer Divide Observatory in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2007 gave a light curve with a period of 15.707 ± 0.002 hours and a brightness variation of 0.27 ± 0.03 in magnitude Magnitude may refer to: Mathematics *Euclidean vector, a quantity defined by both its magnitude and its direction *Magnitude (mathematics), the relative size of an object *Norm (mathematics), a term for the size or length of a vec ...

28 (number)
28 (twenty-eight) is the natural number following 27 (number), 27 and preceding 29 (number), 29. In mathematics Twenty-eight is a composite number and the second perfect number as it is the sum of its proper divisors: 1+2+4+7+14=28. As a perfect number, it is related to the Mersenne prime 7, since 2^\times (2^-1)=28. The next perfect number is 496 (number), 496, the previous being 6 (number), 6. Though perfect, 28 is not the aliquot sum of any other number other than itself; thus, it is not part of a multi-number aliquot sequence. Twenty-eight is the sum of the totient function for the first nine integers. Since the greatest prime factor of 28^+1=785 is 157, which is more than 28 twice, 28 is a Størmer number. Twenty-eight is a harmonic divisor number, a happy number, the 7th triangular number, a hexagonal number, a Leyland number#Leyland number of the second kind, Leyland number of the second kind (2^6-6^2), and a centered nonagonal number. It appears in the Padovan sequ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Australian Ringneck
The Australian ringneck (''Barnardius zonarius'') is a parrot native to Australia. Except for extreme tropical and highland areas, the species has adapted to all conditions. Treatments of genus ''Barnardius'' have previously recognised two species, the Port Lincoln parrot (''Barnardius zonarius'') and the mallee ringneck (''Barnardius barnardi''), but due to these readily interbreeding at the contact zone they are usually regarded as a single species ''B. zonarius'' with subspecific descriptions. Currently, four subspecies are recognised, each with a distinct range (biology), range. In Western Australia, the ringneck competes for nesting space with the rainbow lorikeet, an introduced species. To protect the ringneck, culls of the lorikeet are sanctioned by authorities in this region. Overall, though, the ringneck is not a threatened species. Description The subspecies of the Australian ringneck differ considerably in colouration. It is a medium size species around 33&nb ...

Twenty-eight (card Game)
Twenty-eight is an Indian trick-taking card game for four players, in which the Jack and the nine are the highest cards in every suit, followed by ace and ten. It thought to be descended from the game 304, along with similar Indian games known as "29", "40" and "56". Overview Twenty-eight originated in India. The game is believed to be related to the European family of Jass card games, which originated in the Netherlands. These games are believed to have been brought to India by Indian South Africans who were also influenced by the Afrikaner game of Klaverjas. Twenty-eight is a very popular game in the state of Bihar. Some believe that the game originated in the Lakhisarai district of Bihar. The game is also very popular in South India, particularly in the state of Kerala where it is known as ''Irupathiyettu'' ( which translates to 'twenty-eight') or ''Thuruppu'' (). Twenty-nine is a variation of the game that is popular in North India and Bangladesh. Both games are also rela ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Periodic Table
The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows (" periods") and columns (" groups"). It is an icon of chemistry and is widely used in physics and other sciences. It is a depiction of the periodic law, which states that when the elements are arranged in order of their atomic numbers an approximate recurrence of their properties is evident. The table is divided into four roughly rectangular areas called blocks. Elements in the same group tend to show similar chemical characteristics. Vertical, horizontal and diagonal trends characterize the periodic table. Metallic character increases going down a group and from right to left across a period. Nonmetallic character increases going from the bottom left of the periodic table to the top right. The first periodic table to become generally accepted was that of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869; he formulated the periodic law as ...

Transition Metal
In chemistry, a transition metal (or transition element) is a chemical element in the d-block of the periodic table (groups 3 to 12), though the elements of group 12 (and less often group 3) are sometimes excluded. The lanthanide and actinide elements (the f-block) are called inner transition metals and are sometimes considered to be transition metals as well. They are lustrous metals with good electrical and thermal conductivity. Most (with the exception of group 11 and group 12) are hard and strong, and have high melting and boiling temperatures. They form compounds in any of two or more different oxidation states and bind to a variety of ligands to form coordination complexes that are often coloured. They form many useful alloys and are often employed as catalysts in elemental form or in compounds such as coordination complexes and oxides. Most are strongly paramagnetic because of their unpaired d electrons, as are many of their compounds. All of the elements that are ...

Nickel
Nickel is a chemical element; it has symbol Ni and atomic number 28. It is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. Nickel is a hard and ductile transition metal. Pure nickel is chemically reactive, but large pieces are slow to react with air under standard conditions because a passivation layer of nickel oxide forms on the surface that prevents further corrosion. Even so, pure native nickel is found in Earth's crust only in tiny amounts, usually in ultramafic rocks, and in the interiors of larger nickel–iron meteorites that were not exposed to oxygen when outside Earth's atmosphere. Meteoric nickel is found in combination with iron, a reflection of the origin of those elements as major end products of supernova nucleosynthesis. An iron–nickel mixture is thought to compose Earth's outer and inner cores. Use of nickel (as natural meteoric nickel–iron alloy) has been traced as far back as 3500 BCE. Nickel was first isolated and classifie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Twenty Eight (song)
"Twenty Eight" is a song by the Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd, featured as a bonus track on the version of his debut mixtape '' House of Balloons'' (2011). It was released as the album's second single on November 13, 2012, by XO and Republic Records. The song only appears on the reissue of the mixtape that is included with his 2012 compilation album, ''Trilogy''. The song was recorded at Site Sound Studios and mixed at Liberty Studios in Toronto. Producers Doc McKinney and Illangelo co-wrote the song and performed all instrumentation. Many early songs by Tesfaye are about him tricking, manipulating and cheating on his girlfriends, but in "Twenty Eight" the roles are reversed. The song is named "Twenty Eight" due to there being 28 grams in an ounce, which is something important for drug dealers to know. The song is also the twenty eighth official release by Tesfaye. The song as a whole has been compared to Frank Ocean and Miguel, while Tesfaye's vocals specifically hav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
28 BC
__NOTOC__ Year 28 BC was either a common year starting on Saturday, Sunday or Monday or a leap year starting on Saturday or Sunday of the Julian calendar (the sources differ, see leap year error for further information) and a common year starting on Saturday of the Proleptic Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the First Consulship of Octavian and Agrippa (or, less frequently, year 726 ''Ab urbe condita''). The denomination 28 BC for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years. Events By place Roman Republic * Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian becomes Roman Consul for the sixth time. His partner Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa becomes Consul for the second time. * The Roman Senate grants Octavian Caesar ''imperium maius'' (supreme command) of the Roman armed forces (Around 28 legions). * Augustus initiates a census of the Roman Republic for the first time s ...
