# Animesh Ray

**Animesh Ray** is a professor of computational and molecular biology at Keck Graduate Institute.

## Early life

Animesh Ray was born in a suburb of Calcutta (now Kolkata), which used to be a French colony in India, to parents both of whom had their ancestral homes in East Bengal (now Bangladesh). He studied in a Bengali medium high school, and then at Presidency College (now Presidency University). After his undergraduate studies, he went to Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, to obtain a Master of Science in the new School of Life Sciences. He obtained his Ph.D. in microbial genetics from Monash University. From 1984 to 1988 he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Molecular Biology at the University of Oregon, Eugene, USA, in the laboratory of Professor Franklin W. Stahl. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Biology of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 1989 to 1991, in the laboratory of Professor Ethan Signer. From 1991 to 1995 he was an assistant professor at University of Rochester and then was its associate professor from 1996 to 2001. He joined Keck Graduate Institute as a professor in 2001. From 2001 to 2004 he was also an adjunct professor at the University of California, San Diego and during the same years was a visiting professor at the University of Rochester. In 2009 he became a visiting professor at Institute for Systems Biology and University of Hyderabad and currently works as director of Ph.D. programs at Keck Graduate Institute as well as the Center for Network Studies. Since 2009, he also has been an adjunct professor at the Center for Computational Sciences, San Diego State University, San Diego, and at the School of Mathematical Sciences at the Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California.

## Career

Since 1985 Animesh Ray has studied the mechanisms of DNA recombination. In 1989 Animesh Ray published on mechanisms of homologous recombination induced by a DNA double-strand break using HIS3 gene of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* and suggested that its chromosomes produce double chain break during DNA recombination.

From 1995 to 2002, he conducted research on computing with DNA. In May 1997 he and Mitsunori Ogihara discovered DNA based computers can perform massively parallel computations.

In June 1997 Animesh Ray suggested that gametophyte is responsible for pollen tube guidance but also mentioned that it might be indirectly accomplished.

In 2002 he studied ovule of *Arabidopsis thaliana* and discovered a new type of gene regulation, involving post-transcriptional gene silencing, through a gene called DCL1 which is required for RNA silencing all multicellular organisms, including plants, in *Drosophila* and *Caenorhabditis*.

In 2007 he and his students used *Arabidopsis thaliana* to track a footprint of broken DNA and suggested that the genes move from one locus to another.

In 2011 he suggested that microRNA gene, miR-34b can be of use to diagnose melanoma.

## Awards

Animesh Ray has had numerous awards from the National Science Foundation since 1993, which include an over three million dollar research award in 2002 from the division of Computing and Communication Foundation (CCF), and a year 2005 award for over $4.8 million on a project within the Frontiers in Biological Research (FIBR) program of NSF. In 2009 Animesh Ray and Ali Nadim were awarded $100,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. Dr. Animesh Ray was awarded the NIH Director's award for innovative research in 2021 .

# Northampton-class cruiser

The ***Northampton*-class cruisers** were a group of six heavy cruisers built for the United States Navy, and commissioned between 1928 and 1931.

The *Northampton*s saw much action in World War II. Three (*Northampton*, *Chicago*, and *Houston*) were lost during the war. The other three were decommissioned soon after the end of the war, and scrapped in 1959–1961.

## Design

The design of the ships was heavily influenced by the Washington Naval Treaty, which limited cruisers to a maximum of 10,000 tons displacement and a maximum main battery caliber of 8 inches (203 mm). The *Northampton*s were a reaction to the weight and cost of the immediately preceding *Pensacola* class, differing in several ways. The *Pensacola*s mounted a main battery of 10 8-inch (203 mm) guns in four turrets, a twin and superfiring triple fore and aft. In contrast, the *Northampton*s mounted 9 8-inch (203 mm) guns in three triple turrets, two forward and one aft, the layout followed in all subsequent U.S. heavy cruisers.

Although armor was increased, the *Northampton*s turned out to be lighter than the *Pensacola*s, and nearly 1,000 tons below the treaty limitations. Freeboard was increased in the *Northampton*s by adopting a high forecastle, which was extended aft in the last three for use as flagships. These ships were also the first U.S. ships to adopt a hangar for aircraft, and bunks instead of hammocks. Their lighter-than-expected weight caused them to roll excessively, which necessitated the fitting of deep bilge keels. The immediately-following *Portland* class was essentially a modified *Northampton*.

title: Unisolvent point set

abstract: In approximation theory, a finite collection of points X ⊂ R n is often called unisolvent for a space W if any element w ∈ W is uniquely determined by its values on X. X is unisolvent for Π n m if there exists a unique polynomial in Π n m of lowest possible degree which interpolates the data X. Simple examples in R would be the fact that two distinct points determine a line, three points determine a parabola, etc. It is clear that over R, any collection of k + 1 distinct points will uniquely determine a polynomial of lowest possible degree in Π k.

# Unisolvent point set

In approximation theory, a finite collection of points $X\subset R^{n}$ is often called **unisolvent** for a space $W$ if any element $w\in W$ is uniquely determined by its values on $X$.
$X$ is unisolvent for $\Pi \_{n}^{m}$ (polynomials in n variables of degree at most m) if there exists a unique polynomial in $\Pi \_{n}^{m}$ of lowest possible degree which interpolates the data $X$.

Simple examples in $R$ would be the fact that two distinct points determine a line, three points determine a parabola, etc. It is clear that over $R$, any collection of *k* + 1 distinct points will uniquely determine a polynomial of lowest possible degree in $\Pi ^{k}$.


title: Ghosts of the Abyss

abstract: Ghosts of the Abyss is a 2003 American documentary film produced by Walden Media. It was directed by James Cameron after his 1997 film Titanic. During August and September 2001, Cameron and a group of scientists staged an expedition to the wreck of the RMS Titanic. They dived in Russian deep submersibles to obtain more detailed images than anyone had before. Using two small, purpose-built remotely operated vehicles, the documentary offers glimpses into the Titanic wreck and, with CGI, superimposes the ship's original appearance on the deep-dive images. The film is narrated by actor Bill Paxton, who joined Cameron on the expedition and previously played Brock Lovett in the 1997 film. The film premiered for IMAX 3D and was nominated for a BFCA award for Best Documentary. The submersibles Mir 1 and Mir 2 carried the filming team on 12 dives.

# Ghosts of the Abyss

***Ghosts of the Abyss*** (also known as ***Titanic 3D: Ghosts of the Abyss***) is a 2003 American documentary film produced by Walden Media. It was directed by James Cameron after his 1997 film *Titanic*. During August and September 2001, Cameron and a group of scientists staged an expedition to the wreck of the RMS *Titanic*. They dived in Russian deep submersibles to obtain more detailed images than anyone had before. Using two small, purpose-built remotely operated vehicles, the documentary offers glimpses into the *Titanic* wreck and, with CGI, superimposes the ship's original appearance on the deep-dive images.

The film is narrated by actor Bill Paxton, who joined Cameron on the expedition and previously played Brock Lovett in the 1997 film. The film premiered for IMAX 3D and was nominated for a BFCA award for Best Documentary. The submersibles *Mir 1* and *Mir 2* carried the filming team on 12 dives.

## Plot

Director James Cameron returns to the site of the 1912 wreck of the RMS *Titanic*, aboard the Russian research vessel *Akademik Mstislav Keldysh* with a team of history and marine experts, and his friend Bill Paxton. Cameron and the crew document the interiors and exteriors of the wreckage using 3D technology designed for the documentary. While diving on September 11, 2001, the filming crew hears about the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon. Afterward, they compare and reflect on the tragedy of 9/11 with the tragedy of the *Titanic.*

## Cast

Throughout the movie, re-enactments of events that are discussed use CGI recreations of the interior of the *Titanic*.

## Release

The film was screened out of competition at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival.

Buena Vista Pictures Distribution handled distribution of the film in the United States and Canada with sister company Buena Vista International handling UK distribution, both under the Walt Disney Pictures banner. Summit Entertainment handled most international sales.

### Home media

The feature film on the DVD is 90 minutes long and is available in a two-disc edition and as the fifth disc in the *Titanic* five-disc Deluxe Limited Edition.

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released the film on a three-disc Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD edition on September 11, 2012.

*Rolling Stone* included the documentary in its 2012 list of the best 3D movies.

## Reception

### Box office

The film grossed $17.1 million from a maximum release of 97 theaters in the United States. It also grossed $11.7 million internationally, for a total worldwide gross of $28.8 million.

### Critical response

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that the documentary earned 80% positive reviews based on 102 reviews and an average score of 7.10/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "The underwater footage is both beautiful and awe-inspiring." On Metacritic, the film has an average score of 67 out of 100 from 24 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

## Soundtrack

The official soundtrack's score was composed and conducted by Joel McNeely, and the orchestrations were conducted by David Brown, Marshall Bowen, and Frank Macchia. The album was also recorded and mixed by Rich Breen, edited by Craig Pettigrew, and mastered by Pat Sullivan. The album was ultimately produced by James Cameron, Randy Gerston, and Joel McNeely and released by Disney's Hollywood Records label. Part of the film was filmed in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.

Toad the Wet Sprocket lead singer and songwriter Glen Phillips wrote the opening track, "Departure". James Cameron loved the band's 1991 track "Nightingale Song," but found Columbia Records' licensing fee too high (it wanted over $5,000 for the one minute he wanted to use). In response, he contacted the band's management hoping they could re-record it for his film, only to find they had broken up in 1998 and could not. However, during the negotiations, Cameron asked if Phillips would be interested in writing a new track in the spirit of the older song, and "Departure" was created. It was produced, mixed, and all instruments played by Phillips in his garage studio, though this was not credited in the CD booklet.

The closing track is Darkness, Darkness by Lisa Torban.

title: Unison

abstract: In music, unison is two or more musical parts that sound either the same pitch or pitches separated by intervals of one or more octaves, usually at the same time. Rhythmic unison is another term for homorhythm.

# Unison

In music, **unison** is two or more musical parts that sound either the same pitch or pitches separated by intervals of one or more octaves, usually at the same time. ***Rhythmic unison*** is another term for homorhythm.

## Definition

> Two pitches that are the same or two that move as one.

**Unison** or **perfect unison** (also called a **prime**, or **perfect prime**) may refer to the (pseudo-) interval formed by a tone and its duplication (in German, *Unisono*, *Einklang*, or *Prime*), for example C–C, as differentiated from the second, C–D, etc. In the unison the two pitches have the ratio of 1:1 or 0 half steps and zero cents. Although two tones in unison are considered to be the same pitch, they are still perceivable as coming from separate sources, whether played on instruments of a different type: ; or of the same type: . This is because a pair of tones in unison come from different locations or can have different "colors" (timbres), i.e. come from different musical instruments or human voices. Voices with different colors have, as sound waves, different waveforms. These waveforms have the same fundamental frequency but differ in the amplitudes of their higher harmonics. The unison is considered the most consonant interval while the near unison is considered the most dissonant. The unison is also the easiest interval to tune. The unison is abbreviated as "P1".

However, the unison was questioned by Zarlino as an interval for lacking contrast and compared to a point in geometry:

> Equality is never found in consonances or intervals, and the unison is to the musician what the point is to the geometer. A point is the beginning of a line, although, it is not itself a line. But a line is not composed of points, since a point has no length, width, or depth that can be extended, or joined to another point. So a unison is only the beginning of consonance or interval; it is neither consonance nor interval, for like the point it is incapable of extension.

## Performance ensembles

> Several singers singing a melody together.

In orchestral music *unison* can mean the simultaneous playing of a note (or a series of notes constituting a melody) by different instruments, either at the same pitch; or in a different octave, for example, cello and double bass (*all'unisono*). Typically a section string player plays unison with the rest of the section. Occasionally the Italian word *divisi* (meaning *divided*, abbrev. *div.*) marks a point where an instrumental section, typically the first violins, is to be divided into two groups for rendering passages that might, for example, include full chords. Thus, in the *divisi* first violins the "outside" players (nearer the audience) might play the top note of the chord, while the "inside" seated players play the middle note, and the second violins play the bottom note. At the point where the first violins no longer play *divisi*, the score may indicate this with *unison* (abbrev. *unis.*).

When an entire choir sings the main melody, the choir usually sings in unison. Music in which all the notes sung are in unison is called monophonic. In a choir with two or more sections, such as for different vocal ranges, each section typically sings in unison. Part singing is when two or more voices sing different notes. Homophony is when choir members sing different pitches but with the same rhythm. Polyphony is when the chorus sings multiple independent melodies.

## Synthesizer

On synthesizers, the term *unison* is used to describe two or more oscillators that are slightly detuned in correspondence to each other, which makes the sound fatter (Meaning- a richer denser sound, usually using more harmonics to seem as though its rings more in the ear, or fills more space coming to the ear which increases ear feel, term is mostly used with bottom 'low-mid' frequencies. Also is a Subjective term as it means different things for different people.) This technique is so popular that some modern virtual analog synthesisers have a special oscillator type called "super saw" or "hyper saw" that generates several detuned sawtooth waves simultaneously.

# Ian Morrison (journalist)

**Ian Ernest McLeavy Morrison** (31 May 1913 – 12 August 1950) was an Australian journalist and war correspondent for *The Times*. He was one of the first journalists to be killed in the Korean War. The Academy Award-nominated film *Love is a Many-Splendored Thing* is based on Morrison's love affair with author Han Suyin in Hong Kong.

## Early career

He was born on 31 May 1913 in Peking, as the oldest son to Australian adventurer and journalist George Ernest Morrison (1862–1920) and Jennie Wark Robin (1889–1923). His father had been living in Peking on and off since 1897, when he had been stationed there as *The Times'* first Peking correspondent. In 1919, the family moved to the United Kingdom, where the father died in 1920. Ian Morrison and his two younger brothers, Alastair Gwynne (1915–2009) and Colin (1917–1990), were all educated at Winchester College before continuing to Cambridge University.

From 1935 to 1938, Morrison was appointed English lecturer at Hokkaido Imperial University in Sapporo, Japan. From 1938, he was secretary to the British ambassador in Tokyo, Sir Robert Craigie.

In 1941, Morrison married the Austrian/Czechoslovakian Maria Therese Neubauer in Hong Kong. They had met earlier in Shanghai. They had two children, Nicholas and Petra. In 1946, his brother Colin married Maria's sister, Steffi.

## Second World War

During the Second World War, Morrison covered the Pacific Front, being promoted from freelance contributor to full-time staff correspondent of *The Times.* His first assignment was to cover the Battle of Singapore. During a November 1942 air raid during the Battle of Buna-Gona, he was mildly injured. In December 1943, he fractured his vertebrae and suffered head trauma as a result of a plane crash on New Guinea. He then telegraphed *The Times*:

> Regret involved in airplane accident enroute obtain eyewitness operational **full stop** hospitalised injuries seriouser than yestertime hope recover soon Dickson Brown newschronicler kindly consented cover next three days thereafter Curthoys sorry disappoint you good story

He did not return to combat journalism for seven months, and by the following December he had been shot once again, so he telegraphed *The Times*:

> Left hospital today. Thumb, in which fragments of Dutch bullet are lodged, will take at least a fortnight to heal up, but hope to resume filing about Thursday. Another bullet grazed side without doing any damage.

Morrison wrote four books related to World War II:

* *Malayan Postscript* (London: Faber and Faber Limited, 1942)
* *This War against Japan* (London: Faber and Faber Limited, 1943)
* *Our Japanese Foe* (New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1943)
* *Grandfather Longlegs: The Life and Gallant Death of Major H.P. Seagrim, G.C., D.S.O.* (London: Faber and Faber Limited, 1947)

## Between the wars

After the war, he was stationed in Singapore as a correspondent for *The Times* and travelled widely for them. While visiting Hong Kong, he met and had a love affair with local doctor and future author Han Suyin (according to his aunt, he was a *ladies man* with paramours all over the Far East and in Australia). Their story was told in her semi-autobiographical first novel *A Many-Splendoured Thing* which was made into a very successful film (with him now American and played by William Holden) in 1955.

## Korean War

When the Korean War broke out in 1950, Morrison was despatched there by *The Times.* He published his first article from the front on 10 July.

He died on 12 August 1950, when a jeep carrying him, Indian Colonel M. K. Unni Nayar, and British journalist Christopher Buckley, struck a landmine that killed all three. He and Buckley were buried together at a private mission cemetery in Daegu with other correspondents acting as pallbearers. An American Guard of Honour fired a salute, and the Last Post was sounded. His name is listed in the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents' Club as a member killed in the line of duty.

# Qasim Barid I

**Qasim Barid I** (r. 1489–1504) was prime-minister of the Bahmani Sultanate and the founder of the Bidar Sultanate, one of the five late medieval Indian kingdoms together known as the Deccan sultanates.

## Biography

Qasim Barid was a Sunni Turk domiciled in Safavid Georgia. He entered the service of the Bahmani sultan Muhammad Shah III and later became the prime-minister of the Bahmani sultanate.

### As Vizier

Qasim Barid I led one of the first revolts against the Bahmani Sultanate. He was able to get himself made vizier (chief of state) but had seriously undermined the stability of the kingdom. The Bahmani governors of Junnar, Bijapur and Berar refused to acknowledge the authority of Qasim Barid and declared independence. On 28 May 1490, Malik Ahmad Nizam-ul-Mulk, the governor of Junnar, founded the independent Ahmednagar Sultanate, followed by the foundation of the independent Bijapur Sultanate by Yusuf Adil Khan and the Berar Sultanate by Fathullah Imad-ul-Mulk in the same year. The founding of the dynasty occurred in 1492.

Qasim Barid died in 1504 and was succeeded by his son Amir Barid I, as the prime minister of the Bahmani Sultanate who also became the *de facto* ruler like his father.

# Laura Millard

**Laura Millard** RCA (born 1961) is a Canadian contemporary artist. She uses for her installations drawings and videos records of the marks left on the earth obtained from drones, such as traces of the tracks of skates and snowmobiles on ice in northern Canada in a long-term investigation of ways to reinvent the landscape tradition of Canada. She also is an educator with over many years of experience working at OCAD University (she began teaching there in 1995) and a writer; she lives and works in Toronto.

## Career

Millard was born in Calgary and attended the Alberta College of Art, Calgary (1970–1981). She received a BFA degree from NSCAD University in 1983 and an MFA degree from Concordia University, Montreal in 1992. She is an Associate Professor in the Graduate program at OCAD University where she has worked since 1995. She also has lectured and taught at art galleries and universities across Canada. In 1998, she was the author of *Algonquin Memories: Tom Thomson in Algonquin Park* and she has written other books and articles.

## Work

Millard was initially a landscape painter. In 1999, in the Burlington Art Centre's *Imagining An\[other\] Canada – Reconsidering images of Nationalism in the Canadian Landscape*, curated by Carol Podedworny, Millard was said to be rethinking landscape. Over time, she brought together in her art the contradictory ways in which landscape could be seen, altered and represented, varying her approach for different exhibitions to try and reinvent the genre. In 2004, she was said to have merged the arts of painting and photography to create a "highly evocative" body of work that concentrated on ice-frozen areas of the Bow River in Alberta. In 2016, in a group exhibition at Toronto's InterAccess Gallery, titled *Once Is Nothing: A Drone Art Exhibition*, she let a quadcopter fly at ankle height to record the leaves in Scarborough's Rouge Park for a video, *Passing*. In her solo exhibition *trace* at the McClure Gallery in Montreal in 2020, she used a drone to make drawings of the land below, marked them with different media, then printed selected images on fabric and used them in lightboxes which enveloped the viewer so that he or she could experience the place for themselves.

## Exhibitions

Millard began showing her work as an artist in group exhibitions in 1987 in Calgary. Since then, she has participated in many group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. In 2017, her work was included in *Every. Now. Then: reframing nationhood* at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. In 2020, her work was shown in *The Uncanny Outdoors* at the MacLaren Art Centre, Barrie. She has had solo exhibitions at galleries across Canada and internationally including such exhibitions as *Contrail*, at the Where Where Exhibition Space, Beijing (2011); *Crossing*, at the Whyte Museum, Banff, AB (2019) and in 2020, *trace*, at the McClure Visual Arts Center, Montreal, QC.

## Selected collections

Her work is in the public collections Alberta Foundation for the Arts; the Glenbow Museum, Calgary, Alberta; the MacLaren Art Centre; and Museum London in London, Ontario.

## Awards

She is the recipient of grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. Millard has done artists residencies in the Arctic Circle Residency in Svalbard and the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture in Dawson City, Yukon, and in Canada at the Banff Centre and NSCAD University. In 2011, she was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.

# Oculoplasty

**Oculoplasty**, or oculoplastic surgery, involves medical and surgical treatment for deformities and abnormalities of the eyelids, lacrimal (tear) system, orbit (bony cavity around the eye), and the adjacent face. This specialized branch of ophthalmology requires adherence to strict medical guidelines and legal frameworks to ensure patient safety and professional accountability.

## Types of Oculoplastic Procedures

* **Eyelid Surgery**: Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is perhaps the most common type of oculoplastic procedure. It involves the removal of excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids to correct drooping lids and puffy bags.
* **Tear Duct Surgery**: When tear ducts are blocked or damaged, it can cause chronic tearing or infections. Tear duct surgery, such as dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), aims to create a new drainage pathway for tears to alleviate these issues.
* **Orbital Surgery**: Orbital surgery deals with problems within the eye socket, or orbit. This can include the removal of tumors, treatment of fractures, or reconstruction following trauma.
* **Cosmetic Oculoplasty**: Cosmetic oculoplasty focuses on enhancing the appearance of the eyes and surrounding areas. This can range from eyelid lifts to brow lifts and even procedures to reduce wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes.

# Odessa in Flames

***Odessa in Flames*** (Italian: ***Odessa in fiamme***, Romanian: ***Odessa în flăcări***) is a 1942 Italian-Romanian propaganda war film directed by Carmine Gallone and starring Maria Cebotari, Carlo Ninchi and Filippo Scelzo. The film is about the Battle of Odessa in 1941, where the city was taken in an operation that was primarily conducted by Romanian forces and elements of the German Army's 11th Army.

It is an anti-communist propaganda work focusing on a family trapped in Soviet-occupied Bessarabia and its eventual liberation by Axis forces during Operation Barbarossa. It was screened at the 1942 Venice Film Festival. It was made at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome. The sets were designed by the art director Guido Fiorini. Location shooting took place in Axis-occupied Odessa and Moldova as well as Romania.

## Plot

Maria Cebotari played the role of Maria Teodorescu, an opera singer from Bessarabia, who is in Chișinău with her 8-year-old son at the time of the invasion. The boy is taken somewhere in Odessa. The mother is told that he will be maintained in a camp where he will be educated as a man and a Soviet. To get her son back she agrees to sing Russian songs in theaters and taverns. There, she shares pictures of her past. One such image is found by chance by her husband, who is in the Romanian army with the rank of captain. In the end, the family reunites.

Because of the invasion of Bucharest by Soviet troops in 1944 the movie was banned and the actors were arrested. Many such movies were either destroyed or censored. Nothing was heard of this movie for more than 50 years. However, it was rediscovered in the Cinecittà archives in Rome and was shown for the first time in Romania in December 2006.

# United Kingdom commemorative stamps 1970–1979

The United Kingdom, known in philatelic circles as "Great Britain", released many commemorative stamps (postage stamps issued to honour or commemorate a place, event or person) in the 1970s.

## History

The first adhesive postage stamp, the Penny Black, was introduced in the UK on 6 May 1840. Until 1924, all British stamps only showed the reigning monarch's portrait, except for the 1913 "Sea Horses" design. The first commemorative stamp was issued in 1924 for the British Empire Exhibition, and since the mid-1960s, six to nine sets of commemorative stamps are released each year. PHQ cards, postcard-sized reproductions of commemorative stamps, have also been issued since the mid-1970s.
