A cone (in formal botanical usage: strobilus, plural strobili) is an organ on plants in the division Pinophyta (conifers) that contains the reproductive structures. The familiar woody cone is the female cone, which produces seeds. The male cones, which produce pollen, are usually herbaceous and much less conspicuous even at full maturity. The name "cone" derives from the fact that the shape in some species resembles a geometric cone. The individual plates of a cone are known as scales.
The male cone (microstrobilus or pollen cone) is structurally similar across all conifers, differing only in small ways (mostly in scale arrangement) from species to species. Extending out from a central axis are microsporophylls (modified leaves). Under each microsporophyll is one or several microsporangia (pollen sacs).
The female cone (megastrobilus, seed cone, or ovulate cone) contains ovules within which, when fertilized by pollen, become seeds. The female cone structure varies more markedly between the different conifer families, and is often crucial for the identification of many species of conifers.

Structural steel for the Integrated Sciences Complex arrived on Wednesday, December 21, and the steelworkers have been busy erecting two stories of columns and beams on the north wing. The university community will see the ISC take shape as steel continues to go up and metal decks, concrete slabs and fireproofing are installed through the spring.

Deformed rocks are common in mountain belts. Deformation includes folding, faulting, and metamorphism. Seen here are structurally-tilted sedimentary rocks in western Colorado. All layered rocks rocks were originally oriented more or less horizontal - this is the Principle of Original Horizontality. The orientations of layered rocks that are tilted or folded cannot be original - they are the consequence of orogenic deformation. The Principle of Original Horizontality was first defined in 1669 by Nicholas Steno: “As regards form, it is certain that at the time when any given stratum was being produced its lower surface, as also it lateral surfaces, corresponded to the surfaces of the lower substance and lateral substances, but that the upper surface was parallel to the horizon, so far as possible; and that all strata, therefore, except the lowest, were bounded by two planes parallel to the horizon. Hence it follows that strata either perpendicular to the horizon or inclined toward it, were at one time parallel to the horizon.” (from a 1916 English translation of Steno, 1669)

G-FORCE ONE is a modified Boeing 727-200. An upgrade to G-FORCE ONE’s hydraulic system allows for continuous hydraulic pressure during parabolic performance. The modification, along with the addition of accelerometers in the cockpit, were tested and approved by the FAA. No structural modifications were made to the aircraft’s interior or exterior.
The interior of G-FORCE ONE has been altered to allow for maximum floating space. 38 seats are located in the rear of the plane. In front of the seats, three Floating Zones are divided by gold, silver and blue tape. Closest to the seats is the silver section. Directly after the silver section is the blue section, followed by the gold section. The Floating Zone is padded from floor to ceiling with one rope running down each side of the plane.
To board G-FORCE ONE, stairs open from the rear underbelly of the aircraft.

The eastern wall of the southern part of the warehouse has collapsed exposing the wood framing and contents to the outside. Bales of hay and some other items have been exposed to the elements for several years. I'm not sure how this happen but I'll propose a method - the roof was compromised first, allowing rain to enter, swelling the stored hay and pushing out the wall. A south wind would then catch the north half of the wall and bend it to its current position.

Design was for a lightweight 0.9m column to carry a load of 110kN (11 tonnes). The column was to be made from G250 steel sheets with a yield stress/strength of 310MPa. The maximum number of plate elements was 15.
Of the 6 columns short-listed for testing (out of approx. 40 designs), 4 columns were actually tested, all of which failed above 120kN.
