In plant anatomy, sieve tube elements, also called sieve tube members, are highly specialised type of elongated cell in the phloem tissue of flowering plants. The ends of these cells are connected with other sieve tube members, and together they constitute the sieve tube. The main function of the sieve tube is transport of carbohydrates, primarily sucrose, in the plant (e.g., from the leaves to the fruits and roots). Unlike the water-conducting xylem vessel elements that are dead when mature, sieve elements are living cells. They are unique in lacking a nucleus at maturity. | Sieve tube element |

response (also called hyperarousal, or the acute stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. It was first described by Walter Bradford Cannon. His theory states that animals react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system, preparing the animal for fighting or fleeing. More specifically, the adrenal medulla produces a hormonal cascade that results in the secretion of catecholamines, especially norepinephrine and epinephrine. The hormones estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol, as well as the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, also affect how organisms react to stress. | Fight-or-flight response |

Source port number This field identifies the sender 's port when meaningful and should be assumed to be the port to reply to if needed . If not used , then it should be zero . If the source host is the client , the port number is likely to be an ephemeral port number . If the source host is the server , the port number is likely to be a well - known port number . Destination port number This field identifies the receiver 's port and is required . Similar to source port number , if the client is the destination host then the port number will likely be an ephemeral port number and if the destination host is the server then the port number will likely be a well - known port number . Length A field that specifies the length in bytes of the UDP header and UDP data . The minimum length is 8 bytes because that is the length of the header . The field size sets a theoretical limit of 65,535 bytes ( 8 byte header + 65,527 bytes of data ) for a UDP datagram . However the actual limit for the data length , which is imposed by the underlying IPv4 protocol , is 65,507 bytes ( 65,535 - 8 byte UDP header - 20 byte IP header ) . In IPv6 jumbograms it is possible to have UDP packets of size greater than 65,535 bytes . RFC 2675 specifies that the length field is set to zero if the length of the UDP header plus UDP data is greater than 65,535 . Checksum The checksum field may be used for error - checking of the header and data . This field is optional in IPv4 , and mandatory in IPv6 . The field carries all - zeros if unused . | User Datagram Protocol |

In North American residential construction, aluminum wire was used for wiring entire houses for a short time from the 1960s to the mid-1970s during a period of high copper prices. Electrical devices (outlets, switches, lighting, fans, etc.) at the time were not designed with the particular properties of the aluminum wire being used in mind, and there were some issues related to the properties of the wire itself, making the installations with aluminum wire much more susceptible to problems. Revised manufacturing standards for both the wire and the devices were developed to reduce the problems. Existing homes with this older | Aluminum building wiring |

Eruptions of Etna follow a variety of patterns . Most occur at the summit , where there are currently ( as of 2008 ) five distinct craters -- the Northeast Crater , the Voragine , the Bocca Nuova , and the Southeast Crater Complex ( 2 ) . Other eruptions occur on the flanks , which have more than 300 vents ranging in size from small holes in the ground to large craters hundreds of metres across . Summit eruptions can be highly explosive and spectacular , but rarely threaten the inhabited areas around the volcano . In contrast , flank eruptions can occur down to a few hundred metres altitude , close to or even well within the inhabited areas . Numerous villages and small towns lie around or on cones of past flank eruptions . Since the year AD 1600 , at least 60 flank eruptions and countless summit eruptions have occurred ; nearly half of these have happened since the start of the 20th century . Since 2000 , Etna has had four flank eruptions -- in 2001 , 2002 -- 2003 , 2004 -- 2005 , and 2008 -- 2009 . Summit eruptions occurred in 2006 , 2007 -- 2008 , January -- April 2012 , and again in July -- October 2012 . | Mount Etna |

The designation "Linux" was initially used by Torvalds only for the Linux kernel. The kernel was, however, frequently used together with other software, especially that of the GNU project. This quickly became the most popular adoption of GNU software. In June 1994 in GNU's bulletin, Linux was referred to as a "free UNIX clone", and the Debian project began calling its product Debian GNU/Linux. In May 1996, Richard Stallman published the editor Emacs 19.31, in which the type of system was renamed from Linux to Lignux. This spelling was intended to refer specifically to the combination of GNU and Linux, but this was soon abandoned in favor of "GNU/Linux". | History of Linux |
