In Indian aesthetics, a rasa () literally means "juice, essence or taste".Monier Monier-Williams (1899)Rasa Sanskrit English Dictionary with Etymology, Motilal Banarsidass (Originally Published: Oxford) It is a concept in Indian arts denoting the aesthetic flavour of any visual, literary or musical work that evokes an indescribable feeling in the reader or audience.Rasa: Indian Aesthetic Theory Encyclopedia Britannica (2013) It refers to the emotional flavors/essence crafted into the work by the writer or a performer and relished by a 'sensitive spectator' or ''sahṛdaya,'' literally one who "has heart", and can connect to the work with emotion, without dryness. Rasas are created by one's bhava (one's state of mind). The ''rasa'' theory has a dedicated section (Chapter 6) in the Sanskrit text ''Natya Shastra'', an ancient te ...

Raša (river)
The Raša (, Italian: ) in Croatian Istria is a major river of Croatia's Istria County. It is long, and its basin covers an area of . Its mouth is in the long ria of Raša Bay (, formerly ), which is a drowned river valley scoured out when world sea levels fell, then drowned by the rising waters of the post-glacial era. The Raša rises in springs near Pićan and flows south through a steep-sided valley before opening into the head of the Adriatic Sea. The river, although short in length, has an ancient history as a border. Border river By Roman times, the Arsia, as it was called in Latin, constituted the border between the Histri, who lived west of its banks, and the Liburni on the coast to the east, with the Iapydes in the upcountry valley behind them. After the Romans conquered the fierce and piratical Histri in 177 BC, the Arsia formed the '' limes'' of Roman territory in coastal Istria for a generation, until the gap between the Arsia and the northernmost Roman outposts ...

Relative Apparent Synapomorphy Analysis
Relative apparent synapomorphy analysis, or RASA, is a method that aims to determine whether a given character is shared between taxa due to shared ancestry or due to convergence. A synapomorphy is a shared trait found among two or more taxa and their most recent common ancestor, whose ancestor in turn does not possess the trait. RASA assigns a score to the character based on its potential to be informative. Limitations The method performs poorly when used to select an outgroup taxon, to quantify the amount of phylogenetic signal present, or to identify taxa that may be prone to long branch attraction In phylogenetics, long branch attraction (LBA) is a form of systematic error whereby distantly related lineages are incorrectly inferred to be closely related. LBA arises when the amount of molecular or morphological change accumulated within a lin .... References Taxonomy (biology) {{biology-stub ...

Relative Accessible Surface Area
Relative accessible surface area or relative solvent accessibility (RSA) of a protein residue is a measure of residue solvent exposure. It can be calculated by formula: \text = \text / \text where ASA is the solvent accessible surface area and MaxASA is the maximum possible solvent accessible surface area for the residue. Both ASA and MaxASA are commonly measured in ^2 . To measure the relative solvent accessibility of the residue side-chain only, one usually takes MaxASA values that have been obtained from Gly-X-Gly tripeptides, where X is the residue of interest. Several MaxASA scales have been published and are commonly used (see Table). In this table, the more recently published MaxASA values (from Tien et al. 2013) are systematically larger than the older values (from Miller et al. 1987 or Rose et al. 1985). This discrepancy can be traced back to the conformation in which the Gly-X-Gly tripeptides are evaluated to calculate MaxASA. The earlier works used t ...

Saint Jonas' Festival
Saint Jonas' Festival, also known as ''Rasos'' (''Dew Holiday''), ''Joninės'', ''Kupolė'', Midsummer Day or Saint John's Day) is a midsummer folk festival celebrated on 24 June all around Lithuania. The celebrations often involve flower wreaths, bonfires and torchlit processions, and music and dancing. Background The festival is a Christan festival celebrated widely in the Baltics, and is celebrated the night before the Feast Day of Saint John the Baptist. This coincides with the summer solstice, when the day is longest and the night the shortest in the year, and so the festival also has pagan roots. The festival is also called Rasos or Kupolė (the Feast of the Dews). Celebrations may include reference to the hunt for the magic fern flower, torchlight processions, and traditional dance and music. A bonfire or pyrotechnics shows are also common elements of the celebrations, as well as weaving flower crowns out of flowers and herbs. Some rituals involved girls decorating a ...
