![]() ![]() These ranges are relatively large because this species occupies a large geographic range, and its body size is closely correlated with climate. However, while the bacterial composition of the pack rat microbiome is influenced by diet and geography, it is the animals’ genetics that has the most influential role on bacterial composition. The bacterial composition of the pack rat’s gut microbiome is affected by what it eats, and by association, the geography of where the animal is from. The pack rat microbiome has symbiotic roles in digestion, recycling endogenous nitrogen, and the detoxification of dietary toxins. Mexican woodrats eat seeds, fruits, acorns, and cactus. Diet īushy-tailed woodrats feed primarily on green vegetation, twigs, and shoots. Getting into everything from attics to car engines, stealing their treasures from humans, damaging electrical wiring, and creating general noisy havoc can easily cause them to become a nuisance. They can also be quite vocal and boisterous. A peculiar characteristic is that if they find something they want, they will drop what they are currently carrying-for example, a piece of cactus-and "trade" it for the new item. They are particularly fond of shiny objects. They use plant material such as twigs, sticks, and other available debris. They require adequate shelter among the rocks, though they are occasionally found inhabiting abandoned buildings as well.Ĭharacteristics Behavior They are cliff-dwellers and are often found on isolated, high-elevation exposed boulder areas under a variety of temperature and moisture conditions. The largest species, Neotoma cinerea, has a bushy, almost squirrel-like tail.īushy-tailed woodrats Neotoma cinerea occupy a range of habitats from boreal woodlands to deserts. lepida) will build dens around the base of a yucca or cactus, such as jumping and teddy-bear chollas. albigula), use the bases of prickly pear or cholla cactus as the sites for their homes, using the cactus' spines for protection from predators. Some Neotoma species, such as the white-throated woodrat ( N. Dens are often built in small caves or rocky crevices, but when close by human habitations, woodrats will opportunistically move into the attics and walls of houses. These contain several nest chambers, food caches, and debris piles. Pack rats build complex houses or dens made of twigs, cactus joints, and other materials. Pack rats live anywhere from low, hot, dry deserts to cold, rocky slopes above timberline. Habitat Įach species of pack rat is generally restricted to a given type of habitat within its range. Several species are also found in the deciduous forest of the east coast, juniper woodlands in the southwest, oak woodlands along the coastal western United States and in the Sonoran Desert, and in the forest and rocky habitats of the western United States and western Canada. Woodrats reach their greatest diversity in the deserts of the western United States and northern Mexico. In general, Pack Rats backs are notably a hybrid hue of brown and grey, but their underbelly tends to be a lighter shade. Long-haired pack rats specifically have tails that are adequately furry and are physically compared to the tails of short-haired squirrels. They grow to be approximately 30 cm long, with their tails making up about 50% of their size. In terms of size, they resemble Norway rats. They have large ears that extend outwards. Packrats typically have wide eyes accompanied with long whiskers.

If you're not familiar with the Office Deployment Tool, it's usually used to customize deployments of Click-to-Run versions of Office products, such as Microsoft 365 Apps. For example, you can configure it so that updates are automatically installed from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the internet, which is the default, or from a file share on your local network. You can also edit the Updates element in the configuration file to determine how the installation of Project or Visio is updated. For example, if you want to add Project to devices which already have Microsoft 365 Apps installed and configured for Monthly Enterprise Channel, you need to specify the same update channel for Project 2016 in the configuration file. If you are using the Office Customization Tool or want to specify the update channel manually, you must pick the same update channel as your existing Office installation is already using.

In addition to having long gestation periods, female mantas produce offspring infrequently: they may only reproduce every 2-5 years depending on environmental conditions such as food availability and water temperature. It’s fully formed and ready for life in the open ocean. When a baby manta ray is born, it looks just like a grown-up, except it’s a lot smaller. The birth wrinkles of a manta ray pup are adorable! If you’ve read my other article (and seen the pictures) on the topic, you already know that manta ray babies come out of their mother wrapped up like a burrito. This fascinating article tells us more about the evolution of the manta ray pup inside the womb, according to studies conducted in aquariums around the world. We don’t know this for sure, but assume that a manta ray female can carry two pups in her womb at one time, although the birth of twins is extremely rare two pups would take up so much room inside the mother! It is more common for them to give birth to just one manta ray baby at a time. No post-care is available to the pup, but the female manta ray provides her developing pups with nutrients and protection from predators until they are ready to go out into the ocean. ![]() Once born, the pup can measure up to 50 inches (130 cm) tip-to-tip and weigh over 20 pounds (9kg)! Manta ray embryos develop into pups and eventually emerge as fully-formed mini-mantas from the mother’s body. Read more here about the mating rituals and techniques of manta rays!Īfter the egg is fertilized, the female manta ray will carry it inside her body for 12-13 months before giving birth. This means that when it comes time for birth, the babies are fully developed and ready to be released into the ocean!Įxamples of ovoviviparous animals are several types of snakes, some salamanders, etc.ĭuring mating season, manta ray males will compete with each other for access to females in order to fertilize her egg sac. Unlike many other species that lay eggs outside their bodies and fertilize them externally with sperm from another fish, ovoviviparous fish (like mantas) produce eggs within their bodies that hatch while still inside the mother. You try and say that aloud five times in a row! There’s one word I usually avoid when talking about manta rays, even though it’s an important part of what mantas are: “ovoviviparous”. This makes them rather special! How the Eggs of a Manta Ray Develop: Inside their Body The main difference between holocephalans and elasmobranchs (and this is where we get to the point) is that while holocephalans lay eggs, elasmobranchs (including mantas!) give birth to live pups. There are two types of cartilaginous fish: elasmobranch and holocephalans. The cartilaginous skeleton gives manta rays and their fellow elasmobranchs even greater flexibility than other types of fish. ![]() However, Elasmobranchii are cartilaginous, which means their skeletons are made of cartilage instead of bone. When most people think of fish, they first think of “bony fish”: the skeleton of most fish is composed of bones. They belong to a group of cartilaginous fish called Elasmobranchs, which include sharks, rays, and skates. Let’s dive into manta ray reproduction and explore where little manta rays come from!

As a result, the Big Bang theory quickly became the most widely held view of the origin of the universe.Įinstein and his contemporaries believed in a static universe. These two theories were active contenders until the 1965 discovery, by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, of the cosmic microwave background radiation, a fact that is a straightforward prediction of the Big Bang theory, and one that the original Steady State theory could not account for. ![]() In 1948, Fred Hoyle set out his opposing Steady State theory in which the universe continually expanded but remained statistically unchanged as new matter is constantly created. In 1927, Georges Lemaître set out a theory that has since come to be called the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe. From then on, the beginning of the universe and its possible end have been the subjects of serious scientific investigation.īig Bang and Steady State theories In 1929, Edwin Hubble published his conclusion, based on his observations of Cepheid variable stars in distant galaxies, that the universe was expanding. In some of these solutions, the universe has been expanding from an initial singularity which was, essentially, the Big Bang. There are several possible solutions to the equations of general relativity, and each solution implies a possible ultimate fate of the universe.Īlexander Friedmann proposed several solutions in 1922, as did Georges Lemaître in 1927. General relativity can be employed to describe the universe on the largest possible scale. The theoretical scientific exploration of the ultimate fate of the universe became possible with Albert Einstein's 1915 theory of general relativity. See also: Timeline of cosmological theories and Chronology of the universe Theory ![]() ![]() įactors that need to be considered in determining the universe's origin and ultimate fate include the average motions of galaxies, the shape and structure of the universe, and the amount of dark matter and dark energy that the universe contains. There is a strong consensus among cosmologists that the shape of the universe is considered "flat" ( parallel lines stay parallel) and will continue to expand forever. Confirmation of the Big Bang mostly depends on knowing the rate of expansion, average density of matter, and the physical properties of the mass–energy in the universe. ![]() This suggests that the universe began very dense about 13.787 billion years ago, and it has expanded and (on average) become less dense ever since. Observations made by Edwin Hubble during the 1930s–1950s found that galaxies appeared to be moving away from each other, leading to the currently accepted Big Bang theory. Several possible futures have been predicted by different scientific hypotheses, including that the universe might have existed for a finite and infinite duration, or towards explaining the manner and circumstances of its beginning. Based on available observational evidence, deciding the fate and evolution of the universe has become a valid cosmological question, being beyond the mostly untestable constraints of mythological or theological beliefs. The ultimate fate of the universe is a topic in physical cosmology, whose theoretical restrictions allow possible scenarios for the evolution and ultimate fate of the universe to be described and evaluated. ![]() I don't know where they get the ID, but I'm guessing it's a randomly generated ID just for push notifications.

In a shocking announcement, Rick says that not only is the console development even with PC but that if all goes well their goal is to release PC Alpha 22 as the Version 1 release for console. In the first Dev stream for Alpha 21, Rick and Joel showed A21 footage running on a PS5 to highlight the fact that they are developing the new console version concurrently with PC along with partner Titanium Games from Australia. ![]() TFP is committed 100% to that goal and it is the reason they purchased the console rights to their game so they could ensure that it would happen once PC development was finished. In a tweet, Rick Huenink made the comment that there will for sure be a port of the finished game for Playstation 5 and the new Xbox Series. But it also included help with easing the way for porting the game to consoles in the future once it was done. The main focus of this consult was to get the most out of the heavy optimization work they were planning starting with A20 until final release of the game. 7 Days to Die PS4 and 7 Days to Die XBox One were in their final form forever.Įarlier this year TFP scheduled a consultation with Unity Developers to get personalized help for using Unity optimally with their game. TFP made the tough decision to not find a new partner to continue updating the existing game. In the aftermath, TFP was able to secure the rights to their intellectual property ensuring that they would be able to port future versions of the game to future consoles. Telltale Games then went bankrupt which caused Iron Galaxy to cease work on the port. The port was completed and the game shipped to consoles and was subsequently updated over time with bug fixes as well as new content from Alpha 15 and a bit from Alpha 16. Telltale Games hired the studio, Iron Galaxy, to code the port and TFP assigned members of their own team to be liaisons with Iron Galaxy for giving support as needed from their end. This port would be based upon the Alpha 14 PC version. The Fun Pimps formed a partnership with publisher, Telltale Games, to bring a port of 7 Days to Die to Playstation 4 and XBox One. If you wish to comment on something you read here, do so in Console General Discussions. This is a locked thread so that only news will be posted here. In another effort to make sure accurate news about the console version of 7 Days to Die is being reported, I am posting the happenings that occur towards console owners being able to play a version of 7 Days to Die that has parity with the PC version. ![]() When fissionable material is in small pieces, the proportion of neutrons that escape through the relatively large surface area is great, and a chain reaction does not take place. The reaction can be controlled or moderated by introducing a substance that absorbs neutrons before they can react with more uranium atoms.\), a source of neutrons, and an explosive device for compressing it quickly into a small volume. Whether or not a chain reaction can occur depends on the energy of the neutrons that are released and how close the neighbor uranium atoms are. These two neutrons can go on to split other uranium nuclei, resulting in a nuclear chain reaction. In this particular reaction, one uranium nucleus breaks into a barium nucleus, a krypton nucleus, and two neutrons. A common fission reaction produces barium-141 and krypton-92. The term fission comes from the Latin word fissio, which means a cleaving or splitting. This process often produces gamma photons and releases a significant amount of energy. The energy from the neutrons can cause the uranium nucleus to break in any of a number of different ways. Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller, lighter nuclei. In nuclear power plants, energetic neutrons are directed into a sample of the isotope uranium-235. The critical mass of a fissionable material depends upon its nuclear properties (specifically, its nuclear fission cross-section ), density, shape, enrichment, purity, temperature, and surroundings. Other times, energy is added to a nucleus to overcome the nuclear binding energy holding the protons and neutrons together. In nuclear engineering, a critical mass is the smallest amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Sometimes this is supplied naturally, from radioactive decay of an element. What is a Chain Reaction A chain reaction in nuclear physics refers to the process during which nuclear fission reactions become self-sustaining. ![]() ![]() For example, the fission of one kilogram of uranium releases as much energy as burning around four billion kilograms of coal.Įnergy is required in order for fission to occur. The energy released by nuclear fission is considerable. This process is known as fission (see diagram below). However, the daughter nuclei may still be radioactive. When a U-235 nucleus absorbs an extra neutron, it quickly breaks into two parts. Other isotopes that can be induced to fission like this are plutonium-239, uranium-233, and thorium-232. The mass change and energy release yield smaller nuclei that are more stable than the original heavy nucleus. When nuclear fission is used to generate electricity, it is referred to as nuclear power.In this case, uranium-235 is used as the nuclear fuel and its fission is triggered by the absorption of a slow moving thermal neutron. The nucleus oscillates, so the repulsion may overcome the short-range attraction, causing the atom to split. The reason fission occurs is that energy upsets the balance between the electrostatic repulsion between positively-charged protons and the strong nuclear force that holds protons and neutrons together. In a nuclear power plant, this heat is used to boil water to produce steam that can be used to drive large turbines. One kind of nuclear reaction is fission, which occurs in a nuclear reactor and releases energy, usually in the form of heat and radiation. Fission is a type of nuclear reaction that may occur spontaneously or as a result of a particle striking an atomic nucleus. The energy that is released through a nuclear reaction or radioactive decay process. The original heavy atom is termed the parent nucleus, and the lighter nuclei are daughter nuclei. Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei accompanied by energy release. |
