Nanos (plateau)
Nanos (; it, Monte Re) is a karst limestone plateau at the eastern border of the Inner Carniola in southwestern Slovenia. Geography The plateau is about wide and long in the northern extension of the Dinaric Alps. The highest point of the plateau is Dry Peak ( sl, Suhi vrh, ). The plateau is traversed by the Slovene Mountain Trail, the oldest interconnecting trail in Slovenia. The most popular destination on Nanos and part of the trail is Pleša Peak () with the Vojko Lodge ( sl, Vojkova koča, named for the Slovene Partisan Janko Premrl, a.k.a. Vojko) below its summit. In 1987, the southern and western slopes of Nanos were declared a regional park with an area of . History In Antiquity, Nanos was known as ''Ocra''. Strabo reckoned it the last peak of the Alps. In the 1st century, the pass at Nanos was an important route for civilian and military traffic from Trieste (Tergeste) to Ljubljana (Emona) and beyond to Carnuntum at the Danube. It lost its importance when a faster r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Drosophila Embryogenesis
''Drosophila'' embryogenesis, the process by which ''Drosophila'' (fruit fly) embryos form, is a favorite model system for genetics and developmental biology. The study of its embryogenesis unlocked the century-long puzzle of how development was controlled, creating the field of evolutionary developmental biology. The small size, short generation time, and large brood size make it ideal for genetic studies. Transparent embryos facilitate developmental studies. ''Drosophila melanogaster'' was introduced into the field of genetic experiments by Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1909. Life cycle ''Drosophila'' display a holometabolous method of development, meaning that they have three distinct stages of their post-embryonic life cycle, each with a radically different body plan: larva, pupa and finally, adult. The machinery necessary for the function and smooth transition between these three phases develops during embryogenesis. During embryogenesis, the larval stage fly will develop and ...

George Peter Nanos
George Peter Nanos Jr. is a retired vice admiral in the United States Navy and former director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Early life Nanos is from Bedford, New Hampshire. He received his bachelor's degree and was a Trident Scholar at the United States Naval Academy in 1967 and received his doctorate in physics from Princeton University in 1974. Military career Nanos served for 35 years in the United States Navy and retired as a vice admiral. Nanos conducted many tours at sea aboard destroyers and carriers and is credited with the first-time application of systems engineering at the battle group level rather than just at the individual ship level. In 1989 he began ten years with the Navy's strategic programs overseeing the submarine inertial navigation and missile programs. In 1992, he became technical director of strategic system programs and, after promotion to rear admiral, was named director, where he served until 1999. Promoted to vice admiral, he served as the ...
