A stapler is a mechanical device that joins pages of paper or similar material by driving a thin metal staple through the sheets and folding the ends.
To make pulp from wood, a chemical pulping process
separates lignin from cellulose fibre.
In addition, the same atoms may be able to form
noncrystalline phases. Vertical cooling crystallizer in a beet sugar factory.
Phases do not need to macroscopically separate
spontaneously. Emulsions and colloids are examples of immiscible phase pair combinations that do not physically separate. Two special classes of emulsions – microemulsions and nanoemulsions, with droplet sizes below 100 nm – appear translucent. This property is due to the fact that light waves are scattered by the droplets only if their sizes exceed about one-quarter of the wavelength of the incident light.
The Gibbs phase diagram, however, is an empirical visual
observation of the state of the system and may, or may not express the true number of phases within a given composition. Apparently clear single phase formulations can still consist of multiple iso-tropic phases (e.g. the apparently clear heptane/AOT/water microemulsions consist multiple phases).
Acute appendicitis is typically managed by surgery.
The second figure of importance in this era was
Ambroise Paré (sometimes spelled "Ambrose"), a French army surgeon from the 1530s until his death in 1590.
The MPC runs a number of free online services for
observers to assist them in observing minor planets and comets. The complete catalogue of minor planet orbits (sometimes referred to as the "Minor Planet Catalogue") may also be freely downloaded. In addition to astrometric data, the MPC collects light curve photometry of minor planets.
Astronomers use astrometric techniques for the tracking
of near-Earth objects.
Asteroid impact prediction is however in its infancy and
successfully predicted asteroid impacts are rare.
Another possible position for a space telescope would be
even closer to the Sun, for example in a Venus-like orbit.

The Local Sheet in astronomy is a nearby extragalactic
region of space where the Milky Way, the members of the Local Group and other galaxies share a similar peculiar velocity. This region lies within a radius of about 7 Mpc (23 Mly), 0.46 Mpc (1.5 Mly) thick, and galaxies beyond that distance show markedly different velocities. The Local Group has only a relatively small peculiar velocity of 66 km⋅s−1 with respect to the Local Sheet.

In galactic astronomy, peculiar motion refers to the
motion of an object (usually a star) relative to a Galactic rest frame.
Galactic astronomy is the study of the Milky Way galaxy
and all its contents.
Anaxagoras is mentioned by Socrates during his trial in
Plato's Apology.
Socrates died in Athens in 399 BC after a trial for impiety
and the corruption of the young that lasted for only a day. He spent his last day in prison among friends and followers who offered him a route to escape, which he refused. The trials were publicly held at the Heliaia and were split into two steps: first it was established by the audience (heliasts or dikastes) through voting, whether the accused was found guilty; if the majority found them guilty, because the laws didn't prescribe a fixed punishment, the audience at the Heliaia would then, in the second step, decide on the punishment.
The dikastes received a fee for their attendance (τὸ
δικαστικόν or μίσθος δικαστικός).
The plays have a significance that goes beyond their
artistic function, as historical documents that open the window on life and politics in classical Athens, in which respect they are perhaps as important as the writings of Thucydides. Thalia, muse of comedy, gazing upon a comic mask (detail from Muses' Sarcophagus)
It has been argued that Thucydides was moved by the
suffering inherent in war and concerned about the excesses to which human nature is prone in such circumstances, as in his analysis of the atrocities committed during the civil conflict on Corcyra, which includes the phrase "war is a violent teacher" (πόλεμος βίαιος διδάσκαλος).
This opposition came to a head in the early part of the
7th century BC, when their fleets fought the first naval battle recorded in Greek history: 665 BC according to Thucydides.
Combining all the fragmentary evidence available, it
seems that his family had owned a large estate in Thrace, one that even contained gold mines, and which allowed the family considerable and lasting affluence. Bust of Pericles
Sections of Thrace particularly in the south started to
become hellenized before the Peloponnesian War as Athenian and Ionian colonies were set up in Thrace before the war. Facing starvation and disease from the prolonged siege, Athens surrendered in 404 BC, and its allies soon surrendered as well. The democrats at Samos, loyal to the bitter last, held on slightly longer, and were allowed to flee with their lives.
The Delian League in 431 BC
There was a school of sculptors and architects that
included Rhoecus, the architect of the Temple of Hera (Olympia), and the great sculptor and inventor Theodorus, who is said to have invented with Rhoecus the art of casting statues in bronze.
