Validus


Validus is a fictional DC Comics supervillain, an enemy of the Legion of Super-Heroes and a member of the Fatal Five. Validus first appeared in "Adventure Comics" #352 and was created by Jim Shooter and Mort Weisinger. In the latter half of the 30th century, an entity known as the Sun-Eater threatened to consume Earth's sun, thus destroying the solar system. Desperate to stop the Sun-Eater's efforts, Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes recruited the aid of the Fatal Five

Validus remained a loyal member of the Fatal Five, always ready to do Tharok's bidding. During one memorable altercation with the Legion, Validus killed Lyle Norg, the original Invisible Kid. It was later revealed that Validus' origin supposedly stemmed from a diabolical plot by a powerful Legion foe. As revenge for his

Thus, it appears that Validus and Garridan are not the same being in current continuity; or that this Validus is from a different moment in time. The classic Validus possessed tremendous superhuman strength, enabling him to easily overpower even the Silver Age Superboy; in fact, on one occasion, it took the combined strength of Kryptonian-level heroes Superboy, Mon-El, and Ultra Boy just to knock him down, and on another, Superboy estimated that Validus

Calothamnus validus, commonly known as Barrens clawflower, is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an upright or rounded shrub with stiff, cylindrical but not sharply pointed leaves and red, 4-part flowers. The common name derives from the location, West Mount Barren, where it was found by Spencer Moore, the author of its formal description.

It was originally described from Icacos Swamp on the south-western peninsula of Trinidad Island and was for a long time believed to be endemic to the island.

In 1945, after examining casts of "T. formosus" and "S. validus" teeth, the American palaeontologist Charles M.

"Odontaster validus" does not attack members of its own species but can attack starfish of other species. This seems to be due to chemoreceptors which can identify conspecifics by their odour. Starfish often converge on food sources and a study was undertaken to examine how they do this. It was found that food-deprived individual "Odontaster validus" could distinguish between the odours emitted by satiated and by starved starfish of the same species. They were strongly attracted to the former and took little notice of the latter. "Odontaster validus

Doratorhynchus


Doratorhynchus is a generic replacement name for "Pterodactylus validus", in 1875 suggested by Harry Govier Seeley. Today it is considered a "nomen vanum". In 1870 Richard Owen named "Pterodactylus validus" based on holotype NHMUK 40653, a thirty centimeter long partial wing finger phalanx from the Purbeck Limestone (Britain), identified as that of a pterosaur. The specific name means "strong" in Latin. In 1868 Seeley had obtained a vertebra and lower jaw (catalogued CAMSM J.5340 and J.5339 respectively) from a quarry near

Langton Matravers; in 1869 he had informally named these "Pterodactylus macrurus". In 1875, he concluded that the remains were conspecific with "P. validus" (he re-identified the vertebra he had previously considered a caudal as belonging to the cervical region), erecting a separate genus name to the species: "Doratorhynchus", from Greek "dory", "lance" and "rhynchos", "snout", referring to the jaw form, so that the full species name became "Doratorhynchus validus".

However, this was largely ignored by later studies until a 2010 review of the Felidae as a whole brought up the proposal again, leading to some authors, though not all, recognizing the generic split. "Hyperailurictis validus" and "Hyperailurictis skinneri" are the earliest recorded species, both occurring in various late Hemingfordian localities; "H. validus" in New Mexico and Nebraska, and "H. skinneri" only in Nebraska.

If females emerge too early and their pollen hosts have not started flowering, they can wait for the flowering to begin by sitting in their nest entrance and nectaring on available flowers of other plants. Males disappear from the aggregation two to three weeks after emergence, leaving females as the only flying "C. validus" at the end of the season. Nesting proceeds between four and six weeks, with each nest taking between five to ten days to complete. Nests develop underground through the end of summer: eggs hatch into larvae,

larvae grow on the semi-liquid provisions provided by the parent bee, and larvae pupate into adults. Anecdotal evidence from nests excavated early March suggests that some prepupae (fully developed larvae) enter diapause before pupating. Whether these prepupa ever complete development is unknown as are the factors driving diapause initiation. "C. validus" is a gregarious nester, meaning that nests often occur in aggregations (≈5 nests/m ). Nesting sites are located in open sandy soils with sparse vegetation, often located close to their ericaceous hosts.

A signaling message typically never goes directly from a given SEP to the destination SEP: the message would normally have to pass through the initiating SEP's adjacent STP so that it can be routed to the destination SEP. In some applications, however, SEPs might be directly connected with signaling links; this would typically be done to enhance robustness or performance between two critical SEPs. Such mesh network configurations are also common in Europe, where STPs have not

Somatosensory evoked potential


Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP or SSEP) is the electrical activity of the brain that results from the stimulation of touch. SEP tests measure that activity and are a useful, noninvasive means of assessing somatosensory system functioning. By combining SEP recordings at different levels of the somatosensory pathways, it is possible to assess the transmission of the afferent volley from the periphery up to the cortex. SEP components include a series of positive and negative deflections that can be elicited by virtually any sensory stimuli. For example, SEPs can be obtained in

. SEPs send signaling messages to other SEPs, but the messages are normally routed via the SEP's adjacent STPs. An STP's main function is to identify the best path for two SEPs to communicate. A typical application would be for two SEPs to agree on the use of a shared data path (e.g., using ISUP to initiate a voice call between a user on one SEP and a user on the second SEP). In this way, STPs route signaling messages (for starting, maintaining or finishing any kind of

Near the southern extent of its range, adults fly in late-March, whereas further north flight occurs three to four weeks later. Males emerge precociously, i.e. a few days before females, and patrol nesting aggregations for mates. They locate females via pheromones and mate at the nest site. Females commence nest excavation upon emergence and can use their emergence burrow as the start of their nest. A high degree of natal philopatry, i.e. nesting in your birthplace, is not uncommon for aggregating bees like "C. validus".
