Plummer Terrier
The Plummer Terrier is a working terrier. It was originally bred by Brian Plummer to hunt vermin, especially rats. The breed, while unrecognized by any kennel club, is known for its rugged determination and hardiness. Origins and history In the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, Brian Plummer worked as a somewhat reluctant teacher of several schools throughout southern Yorkshire and the Midlands. He was already well-known in his local neighborhood for going around with a pack of terriers to catch rats, when he decided to create his own terrier breed in the 1970s. Well-versed in breeding, he strove to produce a unique strain of terrier by mixing the Jack Russell Terrier with the Beagle, Fell Terrier, and Bull Terrier. These terriers were worked hard and as the breed developed, so too did Plummer's reputation as a breeder of hardy terriers that bred true to type. Initially known as the Huddlesford Rat Pack, the breed is now named after him. The Beagle introduced to Plumm ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plummer–Vinson Syndrome
Plummer–Vinson syndrome is a rare disease characterized by difficulty swallowing, iron-deficiency anemia, glossitis, cheilosis and esophageal webs. Treatment with iron supplementation and mechanical widening of the esophagus generally provides an excellent outcome. While exact data about the epidemiology is unknown, this syndrome has become extremely rare. The reduction in the prevalence of Plummer–Vinson syndrome has been hypothesized to be the result of improvements in nutritional status and availability in countries where the syndrome was previously described. It generally occurs in perimenopausal women. Its identification and follow-up is considered relevant due to increased risk of squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus and pharynx. Presentation Patients with Plummer–Vinson syndrome often have a burning sensation with the tongue and oral mucosa, and atrophy of lingual papillae produces a smooth, shiny, red, dorsum of the tongue. Symptoms include: * Dysphagia (diffi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Plummer Peak
Plummer Peak is a summit located in Mount Rainier National Park in Lewis County, Washington. With an elevation of it is the seventh highest peak in the Tatoosh Range. It was named for Fred G. Plummer, a Forest Service cartographer who taught geography in Tacoma Public Schools. Hiking to the summit requires a mix of hillwalking and scrambling. The area is also used for skiing, though avalanches present a danger; in 1988, skier Pamela Benton Lee died after being buried by an avalanche on Plummer Peak. From the peak, views of Mount Rainier, the town of Packwood, the Goat Rocks, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Adams are visible. A small tarn is located on the side of the summit.

Plummer Model
The Plummer model or Plummer sphere is a density law that was first used by H. C. Plummer to fit observations of globular clusters. It is now often used as toy model in N-body simulations of stellar systems. Description of the model The Plummer 3-dimensional density profile is given by : \rho_P(r) = \frac \left(1 + \frac\right)^, where ''M_0'' is the total mass of the cluster, and ''a'' is the Plummer radius, a scale parameter that sets the size of the cluster core. The corresponding potential is : \Phi_P(r) = -\frac, where ''G'' is Newton's gravitational constant. The velocity dispersion is : \sigma_P^2(r) = \frac. The distribution function is : f(\vec, \vec) = \frac \frac (-E(\vec, \vec))^, if E < 0, and otherwise, where is the .
