Para (currency)
The ''para'' ( Turkish , plural: pare . From Persian , 'piece'; Cyrillic: пара) was a former currency of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, Egypt, Montenegro, Albania and Yugoslavia and is the current subunit, although rarely used, of the Serbian dinar. In 1524, the Ottoman law code of Egypt (kanunname) referred to the Mamluk Egyptian coin ''medin'' as ''pare'' and set its value as 2.5 dirham. Since 1640 the value of para was settled relative to Ottoman currency, at 3 ''akçe.'' In the 16th and 17th centuries ''pare'' were minted in many parts of the empire, in Asia and north Africa. In 1688 the Ottoman ''kuruş'' was introduced, para equaling of a ''kuruş''. In 1844, a ''kuruş'' was, in turn, of the newly introduced Ottoman Lira. The modern Turkish lira is only divided into . In Serbia, the has been the subunit of the dinar since the 19th century. The Montenegrin perper was subdivided into 100 during its brief existence between 1906 and 1918. In Albania, the was used as a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Para- (chemistry)
Arene substitution patterns are part of organic chemistry IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry, IUPAC nomenclature and pinpoint the position of substituents other than hydrogen in relation to each other on an aromatic hydrocarbon. ''Ortho'', ''meta'', and ''para'' substitution * In ''ortho''-substitution, two substituents occupy positions next to each other, which may be numbered 1 and 2. In the diagram, these positions are marked R and ''ortho''. * In ''meta''-substitution the substituents occupy positions 1 and 3 (corresponding to R and ''meta'' in the diagram). * In ''para''-substitution, the substituents occupy the opposite ends (positions 1 and 4, corresponding to R and ''para'' in the diagram). The toluidines serve as an example for these three types of substitution. Synthesis Electron donating groups, for example amino, hydroxyl, alkyl group, alkyl, and phenyl group, phenyl groups tend to be ''ortho''/''para''-directors, and electron withdrawing groups such as nitro ...

Paralytic (gene)
''Paralytic'' is a gene in the fruit fly, ''Drosophila melanogaster'', which encodes a voltage gated sodium channel within ''D. melanogaster'' neurons. This gene is essential for locomotive activity in the fly. There are 9 different ''para'' alleles, composed of a minimum of 26 exons within over 78kb of genomic DNA. The ''para'' gene undergoes alternative splicing to produce subtypes of the channel protein. Flies with mutant forms of ''paralytic'' are used in fly models of seizures, since seizures can be easily induced in these flies. Gene The ''para'' gene is located on the X chromosome within the Drosophila genome. There are 26 ''para'' exons, 13 are constitutively expressed in the transcript, while 15 are alternatively spliced. Alternative splicing allows for the formation of 60 unique transcripts and 57 unique polypeptides. The independent splicing of 11 exons allows for the unique cytoplasmic loops, the alternative splicing also can effect the Na+ channel kinetics, such as ...

Ptisana Salicina
''Ptisana salicina'', or king fern, is a species of fern native to Norfolk Island, New Zealand and the South Pacific. Large and robust with a distinctive tropical appearance, it has fronds up to 5 metres (16 feet +/-) tall that arise from a starchy base that was a traditional food for the Maori. It has several other common names including para, tawhiti-para, and horseshoe fern. Distribution King fern is indigenous to Norfolk Island (the type locality), New Zealand, New Caledonia, Cook Islands, Austral Islands, Society Islands and the Marquesas. It is closely related to ''Ptisana smithii'' of Vanuatu, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Samoa and Tonga. In New Zealand it is found in lowland areas on the north-western half of the North Island from inland Wanganui northwards. It is most abundant in the western Waikato, where it is found in forests and forest remnants. It prefers limestone-rich soils, including the entrances to caves and shady stream sides. It often grows in New Zealand ass ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Parity (biology)
In biology and human medicine, gravidity and parity are the number of times a woman is or has been pregnant (gravidity) and carried the pregnancies to a viable gestational age (parity). These terms are usually coupled, sometimes with additional terms, to indicate more details of the woman's obstetric history. When using these terms: * Gravida indicates the number of times a woman is or has been pregnant, regardless of the pregnancy outcome. A current pregnancy, if any, is included in this count. A multiple pregnancy (e.g., twins, triplets, etc.) is counted as 1. * Parity, or "para", indicates the number of births (including live births and stillbirths) where pregnancies reached viable gestational age. A multiple pregnancy (e.g., twins, triplets, etc.) carried to viable gestational age is still counted as 1. * Abortus is the number of pregnancies that were lost prior to viable gestational age for any reason, including induced abortions or miscarriages but not stillbirths. The abort ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
