Gaud Saraswat Brahmin
Gaud Saraswat Brahmins (GSB) (also Goud or Gawd) are a Hindu Brahmin community of the north. The Konkani speaking Gaud Saraswat of Goa and southern India claim to be descendents of these Gaud Saraswat Brahmins of the north that migrated to Konkan from Gaud, as per the Skanda Purana. Their traditional occupation was trading. Etymology There are many interpretations on how the Gaud Saraswat Brahmins received the name "Gaud" and the information about it is scant. Authors Jose Patrocinio De Souza and Alfred D'Cruz interpreters that the word ''Gauda'' or ''Goud'' may have been taken from '' Ghaggar'', with ''Goud'' and ''Saraswat'' having the same meaning, that is an individual residing on the banks of river Saraswati. Scholars write that "Shenvi" and "Gaud Saraswat Brahmin" are synonyms. Historically, Jana Tschurenev states that the Shenvis were a community that claimed to be Brahmins. The name GSB is a modern construction based on newly curated caste history and origin le ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Grivel Scarpa Binding
The Grivel Scarpa Binding, or GSB, was created in 2004 as a design collaboration between the companies Scarpa, an Italian shoe and boot manufacturer, and Grivel, an Italian manufacturer of mountaineering crampons, ice axes and other mountaineering equipment. The system involves combining a specially designed mountaineering boot sole unit with a tailored crampon design. The aim was to reduce the amount of time it took to mount crampons to boots, and to simplify the process, as well as making the combination of boot and crampon lighter. Another advantage is that the system removes straps and bails from the front of the boot reducing the risk of snagging these in use. One boot designed to use the GSB system was the (now discontinued) Scarpa Mirage GTX, a Gore-Tex lined 3-4 season mountaineering boot. A recess was created in the front of the sole unit which could accept a specially designed peg on the Grivel AirTech GSB crampon. This crampon did away with the plastic toe covering ...

Green Sulfur Bacteria
The green sulfur bacteria are a phylum of obligately anaerobic photoautotrophic bacteria that metabolize sulfur. Green sulfur bacteria are nonmotile (except ''Chloroherpeton thalassium'', which may glide) and capable of anoxygenic photosynthesis. They live in anaerobic aquatic environments. In contrast to plants, green sulfur bacteria mainly use sulfide ions as electron donors. They are autotrophs that utilize the reverse tricarboxylic acid cycle to perform carbon fixation. They are also mixotrophs and reduce nitrogen. Characteristics Green sulfur bacteria are gram-negative rod or spherical shaped bacteria. Some types of green sulfur bacteria have gas vacuoles that allow for movement. They are photolithoautotrophs, and use light energy and reduced sulfur compounds as the electron source. Electron donors include H2, H2S, S. The major photosynthetic pigment in these bacteria is Bacteriochlorophylls ''c'' or ''d'' in green species and ''e'' in brown species, and is located in t ...
