Celery
Celery (''Apium graveolens'') is a marshland plant in the family Apiaceae that has been cultivated as a vegetable since antiquity. Celery has a long fibrous stalk tapering into leaves. Depending on location and cultivar, either its stalks, leaves or hypocotyl are eaten and used in cooking. Celery seed powder is used as a spice. Description Celery leaves are pinnate to bipinnate with rhombic leaflets long and broad. The flowers are creamy-white, in diameter, and are produced in dense compound umbels. The seeds are broad ovoid to globose, long and wide. Modern cultivars have been selected for either solid petioles, leaf stalks, or a large hypocotyl. A celery stalk readily separates into "strings" which are bundles of angular collenchyma cells exterior to the vascular bundles. Wild celery, ''Apium graveolens'' var. ''graveolens'', grows to tall. Celery is a biennial plant that occurs around the globe. It produces flowers and seeds only during its second year. The first cul ...

Thermococcus Celer
''Thermococcus celer'' is a Gram-negative, spherical-shaped archaeon of the genus ''Thermococcus''.Achenbach-Richter, L., R. Gupta, W. Zillig, C. R. Woese. 1988. Rooting the Archaebacterial Tree: The Pivitol Role of Thermococcus celer in Archaebacterial Evolution. Syst. Appl. Microbial. 10:231-240. Print. The discovery of ''T. celer'' played an important role in rerooting the tree of life when ''T. celer'' was found to be more closely related to methanogenic Archaea than to other phenotypically similar thermophilic species. ''T. celer'' was the first archaeon discovered to house a circularized genome. Several type strains of ''T. celer'' have been identified: Vu13, ATCC 35543, and DSM 2476. Isolation ''T. celer'' was discovered by Dr. Wolfram Zillig in 1983. The organism was isolated on the beaches of Vulcano, Italy, from a sulfur-rich shallow volcanic crater. Original samples were isolated from the depths of the marine holes and inoculated into 10-ml anaerobic tubes.Zillig, W ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Misumenops Celer
''Mecaphesa celer'', known generally as the swift crab spider, is a species of crab spider in the family Thomisidae. Its range is quite large, and it is found throughout much of North and Central America. ''M. celer'' are sit-and-wait predators who hide out on the flowers and upper stalks of plants, waiting for prey to pass by. As a variety of crab spider, they have characteristically long first two pairs of legs which they use to grab prey. ''M. celer'' spin webs only for creating egg sacs and as part of mating, not for hunting. The spider is a notable example of a species that displays sexual size dimorphism (SSD), a phenomenon in which one sex is significantly larger than the other. In the case of ''M. celer,'' females are dramatically larger than males, sometimes over twice their size, making the species a case of extreme sexual size dimorphism. ''M. celer'' also displays sexual cannibalism, as the females have been observed to eat their male mates if the males are still i ...

Celeron
Celeron is Intel's brand name for low-end IA-32 and x86-64 computer microprocessor models targeted at low-cost personal computers. Celeron processors are compatible with IA-32 IA-32 (short for "Intel Architecture, 32-bit", commonly called i386) is the 32-bit version of the x86 instruction set architecture, designed by Intel and first implemented in the 80386 microprocessor in 1985. IA-32 is the first incarnation of ... software. They typically offer less performance per clock speed compared to flagship Intel CPU lines, such as the Pentium or Intel Core (microarchitecture), Core brands. Celeron branded processors often have less CPU cache, cache or intentionally disabled advanced features, with variable impact on performance. While some Celeron designs have achieved strong performance for their segment, most of the Celeron line has exhibited noticeably degraded performance. This has been the primary Market segmentation, justification for the higher cost of other Intel CPU ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Celer (group)
Celer was an American drone music project formed in 2005 by composer and musician Will Long and Danielle Baquet-Long, and concluded in 2022. History Founded in 2005, at the beginning of their relationship in Huntington Beach, California, U.S.A., Celer was created as a musical and artistic collaboration between Danielle Baquet-Long and Will Long. Between 2005 and 2007, the couple created 22 releases, which they self-released, packaged in handmade, hand-painted packages, with designs, and individual stencils. The handmade packaging designs have been described as "deliciously mysterious", where "Muted and bleach colours stretch as far as the eye can see in these panoramic paintings for the mind", and the music as "deeply personal, or unwittingly obscure", and "gentle, haunting and evocative", created "primarily from personal memories and thought experiments". After producing music for record labels, installations, and exhibits worldwide from 2005 to 2009, Danielle Baquet-Long ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Celeres
__NoToC__ The ''celeres'' () were the bodyguard of the Kings of Rome. Traditionally established by Romulus, the legendary founder and first King of Rome, the celeres comprised three hundred men, ten chosen by each of the curiae.Livy, i. 15. The celeres were the strongest and bravest warriors among the early Roman nobility, and were the bravest and most loyal soldiers in the army.Dionysius, ii. 13. The name of ''celeres'' was generally believed to have arisen from their ''celeritas'', or swiftness, but Valerius Antias maintained that their first commander was named "Celer", perhaps the same Celer mentioned by Ovid as the foreman of the first fortification built around the Palatine Hill; it was he, rather than Romulus himself, who slew Remus after he overleapt the wall. Unlike most soldiers of the period, who served only in times of war, the celeres were a permanent force, attending the king at all times, including times of peace. They are generally regarded as a cavalry unit, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Laosaurus
''Laosaurus'' (meaning "stone or fossil lizard") is a genus of neornithischian dinosaur. The type species, ''Laosaurus celer'', was first described by O.C. Marsh in 1878 from remains from the Oxfordian-Tithonian-age Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Wyoming. The validity of this genus is doubtful because it is based on fragmentary fossils. A second species from the Morrison Formation, ''L. gracilis'', and a species from the late Cretaceous Allison Formation of Alberta, Canada, ''Laosaurus minimus'', are also considered dubious. History and taxonomy Marsh (1878a) named his new genus from vertebrae ( YPM 1874) found by Samuel Wendell Williston at Como Bluff, Wyoming, from rocks of the Morrison Formation. The type material includes nine partial and two complete tail vertebral centra, which he concluded came from a "fox-sized" animal. In the same year, he named two other species: ''L. gracilis'', originally based on a back vertebral centrum, a tail vertebral centrum, and p ...

Microvenator
''Microvenator'' (meaning "small hunter") is a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Cloverly Formation in what is now south central Montana. ''Microvenator'' was an oviraptorosaurian theropod. The holotype fossil is an incomplete skeleton, most likely a juvenile with a length of , and consequently, the adult size remains uncertain. ''Microvenator celer'' is primitive and may be the "sister taxon to all other oviraptorosaurs."Varricchio, D. J. 2001. Late Cretaceous oviraptorosaur (Theropoda) dinosaurs from Montana. pp. 42–57 in D. H. Tanke and K. Carpenter (eds.), Mesozoic Vertebrate Life. Indiana University Press, Indianapolis, Indiana. Discovery Barnum Brown collected the type specimen (AMNH 3041) in 1933 by a field party working for the American Museum of Natural History and he erroneously included ''Deinonychus'' teeth with the specimen. Because of this, Brown informally dubbed it "Megadontosaurus" ("big-toothed lizard"), Brown made illustrations of it, but ...

Trichoniscus Pusillus
''Trichoniscus pusillus'', sometimes called the common pygmy woodlouse, is one of the five most common species of woodlice in the British Isles. It is acknowledged to be the most abundant terrestrial isopod in Britain. It is found commonly across Europe north of the Alps, and has been introduced to Madeira, the Azores and North America. Description ''T. pusillus'' may be distinguished from other British woodlice chiefly by its small size, which reaches no more than . Its body is elongate and quite rounded in cross section, and typically purplish. It may be separated from related species in North America by its eyes of three ocelli each, rather than the single ocellus in the eyes of its relative '' Hyloniscus riparius''. Reproduction There are two distinct reproductive strategies within the species ''Trichoniscus pusillus''. Many populations are, like most metazoans, bisexual and reproduce sexually; in other cases, females reproduce parthenogenetically, creating clones of themsel ...

Saint Gelert
Saint Gelert, also known as Celer, Celert or Kellarth (see below), was an early Celtic saint. Several locations in Wales are believed to bear his name. They include Beddgelert ("Gelert's grave") and the surrounding Gelert Valley and Llangeler ("Gelert's church") where there is a church dedicated to him. Through the promotional efforts of an innkeeper in the early 1790s, St. Gelert, the human, has become much conflated with the legend of a saintly dog putatively from the same region, Gelert.The Story of Beddgelert: real tragedy or urban myth? accessed March 9, 2011.

Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer
Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer (before 103 BC or c. 100 BC – 59 BC), a member of the powerful Caecilius Metellus family (plebeian nobility, not patrician) who were at their zenith during Celer's lifetime. A son of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Nepos, or, according to some, the son of tribune Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer while the latter is the son of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Nepos, was an ancient Roman statesman and general during the First Century BC. He became consul in 60 BC and previously he held the offices of praetor (63 BC) and augur. During the Third Mithridatic War (73-63 BC) against Mithridates VI of Pontus and Tigranes the Great of Armenia, Metellus Celer was a lieutenant (legate) of Pompey during his eastern campaigns (66-63 BC). In the winter of 66 BC Oroeses, king of the Caucasian Albanians attacked the forces of Pompey while they were celebrating the festival of the Saturnalia in their winter quarters in Lesser Armenia.
