Cass (painting)
''Cass'' is an oil painting created by the New Zealand artist Rita Angus in 1936, depicting the railway station at the small mountain settlement of Cass, New Zealand, Cass in the Canterbury Region, Canterbury High country (New Zealand), high country. It has been described as "one of the defining works of the 1930s and indeed of New Zealand art history," and was voted "New Zealand's greatest painting" in a 2006 television poll. Creation In the mid-1930s Rita Angus was in her 20s and working as a freelance commercial artist, writing and illustrating stories in the ''Press Junior'' supplement, from a small studio in Christchurch's Chancery Lane. She was part of a network of independent women working in the arts, including Olivia Spencer Bower, Louise Henderson, cellist Valmai Moffett, and her friend Jean Stevenson, editor of the ''Press Junior''. Around this time she was taking regular trips to explore the New Zealand countryside; she would frequently visit her lover Harvey Gresha ...

Sonobuoy
A sonobuoy (a portmanteau of sonar and buoy) is a small expendable sonar buoy dropped from aircraft or ships for anti-submarine warfare or underwater acoustic research. Sonobuoys are typically around in diameter and long. When floating on the water, sonobuoys have both a radio transmitter above the surface and hydrophone sensors underwater. Sonobuoys are mission-critical platforms for enhancing Undersea Domain Awareness (UDA), providing an effective means to detect, locate, and track submarines and other underwater threats. Playing a key role in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and other naval operations, they support in maintaining naval security and in protecting naval carrier strike groups. Theory of operation Sonobuoys are ejected from aircraft in canisters and deploy upon water impact. An inflatable surface float with a radio transmitter remains on the surface for communication with the aircraft, while one or more hydrophone sensors and stabilizing equipment descend be ...

CASS Microscopy
CASS is an acronym of Collective Accumulation of Single Scattering. This technique collects faint single scattering signal among the intense multiple scattering background in biological sample, thereby enabling conventional diffraction-limited imaging of a target embedded in a turbid sample. Principle CASS microscopy makes use of time-gated detection and spatial input-output wave correlation. Theoretical description is given below. Input-Output Relationship for a given Object Function Let O(\mathbf) be a planar object function that we wish to reconstruct. Then, it is related to its Fourier transform \tilde(\mathbf_s) by ::O(\mathbf) = \int \tilde(\mathbf_s) e^ d\mathbf_s where \mathbf_s represents a 2-dimensional wavevector. Now, let's take a look at the relation between input and output wave in reflection geometry. ::E_o(\mathbf) = O(\mathbf) E_i(\mathbf) = O(\mathbf) e^ where we assumed the incoming wave is plane wave. Then, the angular spectrum of the output field with given ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
International Air Transport Association
The International Air Transport Association (IATA ) is an airline trade association founded in 1945. IATA has been described as a cartel since, in addition to setting technical standards for airlines, IATA also organized tariff conferences that served as a forum for price fixing. According to IATA, the trade association represents 317 airlines, including major carriers, from over 120 countries. The IATA's member airlines account for carrying approximately 82% (2020) of total available seat miles air traffic. IATA supports airline activity and helps formulate industry policy and standards. It is headquartered in Montreal, Canada, with executive offices in Geneva, Switzerland. History IATA was formed in April 1945 in Havana, Cuba. It is the successor to the International Air Traffic Association, which was formed in 1919 at The Hague, Netherlands. At its founding, IATA consisted of 57 airlines from 31 countries. Much of IATA's early work was technical and IATA provided input to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Caixa Andorrana De Seguretat Social
The Caixa Andorrana de Seguretat Social (CASS) is the public institution in charge of the Social Security system in Andorra. It was established in April 1968. Since the Constitution of Andorra was approved in 1993, the objective of the Andorran system is to implement Article 30: «The right to health protection and to receive benefits to meet other personal needs is recognized. To these ends, the State will guarantee a Social Security system ». That is to say, guarantee protection, in its contributory and non-contributory modality, of insured persons, direct or indirect, through the appropriate benefits. It is compulsory for salaried workers and also for those who develop an economic activity. Branches of the CASS Social security is made up of two different branches or strands of protection: * General branch covers reimbursement, temporary disability, maternity, paternity, risk during pregnancy, disability, capital death benefits and orphan's pensions. * Retirement branch cove ...

Coding Accuracy Support System
The Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS) enables the United States Postal Service (USPS) to evaluate the accuracy of software that corrects and matches street addresses. CASS certification is offered to all Advertising mail, mailers, service bureaus, and software vendors that would like the USPS to evaluate the Quality (business), quality of their address-matching software and improve the accuracy of their ZIP Code, ZIP+4, carrier route, and five-digit coding. For software vendors and service bureaus, CASS Certification must be renewed annually with the USPS to meet current CASS Certification cycle requirements. CASS Certified products are listed in USPS literature and on its web site. CASS software will correct and standardize addresses. It will also add missing address information, such as ZIP codes, cities, and state (US), states to ensure the address is complete.
