Quasigroup
In mathematics, especially in abstract algebra, a quasigroup is an algebraic structure resembling a group in the sense that "division" is always possible. Quasigroups differ from groups mainly in that they need not be associative and need not have an identity element. A quasigroup with an identity element is called a loop. Definitions There are at least two structurally equivalent formal definitions of quasigroup. One defines a quasigroup as a set with one binary operation, and the other, from universal algebra, defines a quasigroup as having three primitive operations. The homomorphic image of a quasigroup defined with a single binary operation, however, need not be a quasigroup. We begin with the first definition. Algebra A quasigroup is a non-empty set ''Q'' with a binary operation ∗ (that is, a magma, indicating that a quasigroup has to satisfy closure property), obeying the Latin square property. This states that, for each ''a'' and ''b'' in ''Q'', there exist uniqu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Piqué Work
Piqué work was a type of decorative work made by inlaying tiny points or pins of gold or other precious metals in patterns or pictures on tortoiseshell from the now endangered Hawksbill sea turtle (''Eretmochelys imbricata'') or, less commonly, ivory. In 1770 Matthew Boulton Matthew Boulton (; 3 September 172817 August 1809) was an English manufacturer and business partner of Scottish engineer James Watt. In the final quarter of the 18th century, the partnership installed hundreds of Boulton & Watt steam engin ... (1728 – 1809) developed methods of producing piqué work panels in factories. The craft reached its height in 17th and 18th century France, and was highly prized. One remarquable workshop was working in Naples around 1740 and was headed by Giussepe Sarao.

Piqué (weaving)
Piqué, or marcella, refers to a weaving style, normally used with cotton yarn, which is characterized by raised parallel cords or geometric designs in the fabric. Piqué fabrics vary from semi-sheer dimity to heavy weight waffle cloth. Twilled cotton and corded cotton are close relatives. Name The name ''piqué'' is derived from the French word , meaning 'quilt'; late 18th-century piqué fabrics were considered to imitate a hand-made quilt. Piqué weave The weave is closely associated with white tie, and some accounts even say the fabric was invented specifically for this use. It holds more starch than plain fabric, so produces a stiffer shirt front; piqué shirts would go on to replace earlier plain-weave fronts, which remain a valid alternative. Use of piqué then spread to other parts of formal dress code, and it is now the most common fabric used in the tie and waistcoat of white tie dress. Piqué weaving Piqué weaving was developed by the Lancashire cotton indus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is also known in Latin America as the ''nigua'' and ''bicho de pie'' (Spanish) or ''bicho de pé'' (Portuguese), literally "''foot bug''". ''Tunga penetrans'' is a member of the genus ''Tunga'', which comprises 13 species.
