Nix (moon)
Nix is a natural satellite of Pluto, with a diameter of across its longest dimension. It was discovered along with Pluto's outermost moon Hydra on 15 May 2005 by astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope, and was named after Nyx, the Greek goddess of the night. Nix is the third moon of Pluto by distance, orbiting between the moons Styx and Kerberos. Nix was imaged along with Pluto and its other moons by the ''New Horizons'' spacecraft as it flew by the Pluto system in July 2015. Images from the ''New Horizons'' spacecraft reveal a large reddish area on Nix that is likely an impact crater. Discovery Nix was discovered by researchers of the Pluto Companion Search Team, using the Hubble Space Telescope. The ''New Horizons'' team had suspected that Pluto and its moon Charon might be accompanied with other moons, hence they used the Hubble Space Telescope to search for faint moons around Pluto in 2005. Since Nix's brightness is about 5,000 times fainter than Pluto, l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nix (surname)
Nix (or Nicks) is a surname of English origin, which initially indicated that the person so named was the child of a person named Nicholas, traditionally shortened to "Nick". It is therefore closely related to Nixon and Nickson, which are derived from "Nick's son", and also related to Nicholl and Nicholson, derived from another variation of Nicholas.Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley, ''A dictionary of English and Welsh surnames'' (1901), p. 95: Notable people surnamed "Nix" Entertainment *Bern Nix (1947–2017), an American jazz guitarist *Cranford Nix (1969–2002), an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter *Don Nix (born 1941), an American songwriter, composer, arranger, musician, and author *Garth Nix (born 1963), an Australian writer who specializes in children's and young adult fantasy novels *Lori Nix (born 1969), a photographer and printer based in Brooklyn, New York * Martha Nix Wade (born 1967), an American actress sometimes credited as "Martha Nix" * Rosie Nix Adams ...

Nix Package Manager
Nix is a cross-platform package manager that utilizes a purely functional deployment model where software is installed into unique directories generated through cryptographic hashes. It is also the name of the tool's programming language. A package's hash takes into account the dependencies, which is claimed to eliminate dependency hell, as an alternative to the typical solution of installing multiple versions of dependencies at the same time. This package management model advertises more reliable, reproducible, and portable packages. Nix packages are defined through a lazy functional programming language specifically designed for package management. Dependencies are tracked directly in this language through an intermediate format called "derivations". A Nix environment keeps track of references automatically, which allows unused packages to be garbage collected when no other package depends on them. At the cost of greater storage requirements, all upgrades in Nix are guaran ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The community was settled in the early 1880s on the stagecoach and mail route that ran west from Lampasas. In 1883, David Coterell started a blacksmith shop, and Elizabeth Wallace opened a general store. Wallace was the first postmistress when she opened a post office in her store. The post office was discontinued in 1906. Nix had two mills and gins by 1892, and churches had been established by 1896. Considerable interest arose in drilling for gas and oil in the area during the 1920s and 1930s, though Nix was t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nix (gene)
Nix is a pro-apoptotic gene that is regulated by Histotoxic hypoxia. It expresses a signaling protein related to the BH3-only family. This protein induces autophagy, an intracellular function by which cytoplasmic components are delivered to the lysosome to be broken down and used elsewhere or excreted from the cell. This protein is important in development because it allows cells to have a consistent store of cellular components. It also holds an important role in the differentiation and maturation of erythrocytes and lymphocytes by the process of mitophagy with the help of its regulator BNIP3. Using a gene knockout technique in mice, scientists have been able to attribute this pruning of mitochondria and induction of cellular necrosis to the expression of the Nix gene. The Nix protein may be associated with certain kinds of cancer formation. In mouse models, loss of Nix resulted in a delayed onset of tumors for pancreatic cancer, and was additionally associated with reduced ...
