high-pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction patterns of cerium-aluminum
Background: Ever since the Bronze Age, humans have experimented with combining different metals to create alloys having properties superior to either metal alone. But not all metals readily form alloys. For some pairs of elements the atoms are too dissimilar. Now, researchers in an international team, using high-brilliance x-rays from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory , have discovered that previously impossible alloys can be created by subjecting atoms to high pressure―opening possibilities for new materials in the future.
SUNCHI DC inverter house heat pump supplies the most energy saving hot water for house heating and domestic use in winter, and cooled water for air conditioning in hot summer. Inverter Heat pumps are among the most economical ways to supply heating and cooling on air and water, which can reduce the electricity costs up to 70%. It is much safer than the conventional way. Strong parts in building: Stable water flow switch, fully sealed control box with waterproof level IPX4, Intelligent controller and adjustment by the quick-mind microprocessor, carel digital control panel with remote wire LCD, air exchanger ( fin-coil ) with the hydrophilic coating.
The Open Source community has many influential and important people. Yet some individuals tend to hold a bigger megaphone than the rest of us. Some of these people are well recognized while others exist in open source niches. But collectively they’re all the most vocal, followed and re-posted open source commentators in the community today. These are people you need to know.

“Giuseppe Arcimboldo (born c. 1527, Milan [Italy]—died 1593, Milan) was an Italian Mannerist painter whose grotesque compositions of fruits, vegetables, animals, books, and other objects were arranged to resemble human portraits. In the 20th century these double images were greatly admired by Salvador Dali and other Surrealist painters.”

Parc des sources
Though it used to be a landscaped park, indigenous species have slowly re-invaded most of the areas of the park. The park gets its name from the numerous springs (sources in French) which used to supply drinking water to the area. The park has a wooded area close to the railway path and a small pond closer to the Boulevard de la Woluwe.

The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters).
The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. The surrounding area is contained within the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of the preservation of the Grand Canyon area and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.

Grand Canyon National Park is a national park of the United States located in northwestern Arizona, the 15th site to have been named as a national park. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World. The park, which covers 1,217,262 acres (1,901.972 sq mi; 4,926.08 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties, received more than 4.7 million recreational visitors in 2023. The Grand Canyon was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The park celebrated its 100th anniversary on February 26, 2019.

Entirely within the state of Arizona, the park encompasses 278 miles (447 km) of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands. Located on the ancestral homelands of 11 present day Tribal Communities, Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world—a mile deep canyon unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers visitors from both north and south rims.

Common Flax (Linum usitatissimum) was formerly grown as a crop in Maryland for both its fiber and seed. It can still be found growing in the wild near where it was once cultivated. Note -- at first glance this appears to have 4 petals, however there are really 5, one petal is mostly covered by another in the 8:00 o'clock position on this flower.

The first open(source).athon was held by Hacks/Hackers NYC and drew more than 40 attendees, with a couple out-of-towners from Chicago and Florida.
The day-long event, held at the OpenPlans penthouse and sponsored by the Google's Open Source Programs Office, involved gathering coders and writers to collaborate on open-sourcing code projects.

It is the first ornamental public fountain in Madrid from which water flowed from the Lozoya River. The wall fountain, made of stone and brick, was the artistic face attached to the side wall of the First Reservoir of the Canal de Isabel II (former Campo de Guardias), designed to bring water to Madrid. It is almost hidden behind a fence inside the Canal de Isabel II facilities, on Calle de Bravo Murillo, 49.
The Canal de Isabel II, which guaranteed Madrid the supply of water from the Lozoya River, was designed in 1848 by the engineers Juan de Ribera and Juan Rafo, following a commission from the Minister of Instruction and Public Works, Juan Bravo Murillo. It took about 10 years to build, and on June 24, 1858 it was inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth II in style, on Calle Ancha de San Bernardo.
THE FOUNTAIN
It is a sculptural ensemble conceived in the image of the classic triumphal arch. Made of granite stone with brick panels, with a central apse in which the main figure is housed, it is a monumental personification of the Lozoya River (a slender male figure of a young man who steps on a vessel seated on a set of rocks), carved by the Madrid sculptor Sabino de Medina Peñas; flanked on the left by another limestone sculpture, an allegory of Agriculture, by the Compostela sculptor Andrés Rodríguez, and on the right by another of Industry, by Madrid-born José Pagniucci Zúmel.
The pylon is made of limestone and has a semicircular geometry, with a straight profile towards the inside and a curved silhouette towards the outside. It has a depth of 70 centimeters, and a diameter of about 10 meters. The main fountain springs from the jar at the foot of the central figure, and cascades down the rocks carved in the style of European Baroque fountains.
MADRID AND THE WATER
In the first half of the 19th century, Madrid had some 200,000 inhabitants, and very few enjoyed water in their homes. The rest took water from one of the 54 sources scattered around the city. Inseparable from the pumps lived the water carriers, who at that time numbered about 920, dedicated themselves to the itinerant sale of water, which they transported to the cisterns of the houses. The guild had reserved a number of fountains in the city for their use.
At that time, the fountains in Madrid were classified as: neighborhood fountains (for the neighbors), neighborhood fountains (at least one spout exclusively for the neighbors and the rest was reserved for the water carriers), water carrier fountains, flying fountains (whose use could vary according to needs) and ornamental fountains.
