![]() ![]() Nuclear Throne is adept at making you feel unsafe. Depending on your character’s specific strengths and weaknesses, or your personal playstyle, you may not like the choices available.Īmmo and health pick-ups also expire shortly after dropping onto the field, which means even if you have carved out a secluded spot that enemies won’t wander into, you can’t afford to stay put. But you don’t get to pick a mutation until you have successfully obliterated everything and exited the level, and they’re presented in a random group of four. These grant powerful passive abilities like health or ammo regeneration, slower-moving enemy bullets, and better melee range. Once you’ve earned enough rads to level up your character, you’ll be able to choose a mutation (perk). They’re a type of collectible dropped by slain enemies, and you need to be quick to nab them because they fade after several seconds. Rads (experience points) are the other major piece of Nuclear Throne. There is a major downside to getting up close and personal, though: more than a few enemies explode when they die, and some bosses will even try to bring you down with them. Most of them can reflect projectiles back at enemies and, with sufficient reach, even attack through certain walls. They can be supremely useful in the right situation. There are also melee weapons, which are just as enjoyable as guns if not more so. It’s a clever way to encourage adaptability and it also helps the game maintain a sense of excitement over hundreds if not thousands of runs. You’re meant to continually cycle weapons in and out to match the situation at hand as well as what’s left in your ammo stockpile. But ammo is finite and the maximum amount you can store of each type (bullets, shells, bolts, explosives, and energy) isn’t very high. They’re all delightful to use, and once you’ve grown accustomed to the way combat flows, it’s so gratifying. You design to make things interesting, giving the player a melee weapon in a stealth section and more ammo than reasonable before a firefight.It’s a shame you can only hold two weapons at a time, because I never wanted to part with anything. Normally, when you make a game, you place the enemies somewhere interesting, make sure there are pickups in the right places and that the ammo is plentiful and the weapons nicely hidden. ![]() There are so many combinations, that we have no way of knowing how each of them works out. That means that in a single run, there so many possible variations that it’d require at least a line on this blog to write out just how many options there are. During the game, players can carry two out of more than 60 available weapons at once, mutate their character with more than 25 different mutations to gain new powers or buffs, collect rare crowns to modify the rules of the random generation, and try and take shortcuts through secret areas. Players pick from a variety of mutants, ranging from a fish with a guitar to a scientist turned muscular hulk, and head out into the wastelands to conquer the elusive Nuclear Throne.Įvery single one of the (now) eleven mutants comes with its own active and passive ability. ![]() The world as we know it is gone - destroyed by some long-forgotten disaster - and mutants roam the planet.

![]() We found that Trump and his team employed an increasingly disengaged style over the course of the campaign-essentially presenting their opinions as facts and ignoring alternative viewpoints. And I think we show there was an underlying strategy-that they were shifting the styles of their tweets to achieve certain communicative goals. So our aim was to describe how they used Twitter from a linguistic perspective-not to understand if it was effective but to understand why it was effective. We also know it was a big part of how Trump and his campaign chose to communicate with the public. The amount of free media coverage the account generated during the campaign is well documented. I think, to a large extent, we knew that was going on. For example, we found that a more informal and conversational style was used during the Republican primaries, compared with the general election.ĭid you discover that Trump and his campaign were successfully using Twitter as an alternative communication medium? Rather we found a lot of stylistic variation-and crucially, we found this variation was, on the whole, fairly systematic over time: the style of tweets changed in clear ways, depending on what was happening in the campaign. Our main takeaway was that Trump’s Twitter account wasn’t just a bunch of random attacks, as is sometimes claimed by the media. ![]() We then interpreted these dimensions stylistically and plotted them over time to understand how the style of the account changed. We thought that perspective was largely missing from the discussion-and important.īasically, we downloaded all the tweets that were posted on the account, removed the retweets, automatically identified a wide range of grammatical features found in each tweet (such as various parts of speech) and then conducted a statistical analysis to extract dimensions of linguistic variation, based on which features tended to occur together in tweets. But looking at the structure of language-how something is said-is what linguists do. In general, when most people look at language, they focus on what is said. The account was so important during the election and such a point of contention-we thought this was an area where linguistic analysis could be informative. Why did you think it was important to bring linguistic methods to the study of a president’s tweets? After that study, we decided to look at stylistic variation on account more generally-and especially to track changes in style over time. We found it was relatively unusual in its style, although we couldn’t rule out the possibility that Trump had written it. We do research on both social media language and authorship analysis, so we decided to look at that tweet. But his lawyer , John Dowd, then took credit for it. īack in 2017 there was a lot of talk about whether Trump wrote a specific tweet that might have amounted to an admission of obstructing justice. Scientific American asked Grieve about his trek through the Trump tweet corpus and the richness of Twitter as a source for linguists. (Such “style shifting”-how an individual’s language varies from one situation to another-is a subdiscipline in linguistics.) One tweet style transmuted into another-and then sometimes back-as Trump progressed from his role as peddler of a fake “birther” conspiracy theory to improbable presidential primary candidate to Republican nominee-and then to occupier of the Oval Office. Others dispensed advice or campaign rhetoric or simply signaled Trump’s engagement on a particular issue. The researchers categorized the different styles by scrutinizing the tweets’ grammatical structure. (“Linguistic style” here refers to the form of the text, not its meaning.) A study published Wednesday in PLOS One shows how the linguistic style of Trump’s 21,739 tweets from mid-2009 to early 2018 (excluding retweets) morphed as his strategy for reaching multitudes of followers changed. Now Grieve and his linguist colleague Isobelle Clarke have turned their analytic expertise to President Donald Trump’s Twitter account. Another study he conducted looked for new word usages spreading on American social media (“baeless” for single, for example, and “senpai” for elder or expert). (“crap” is big in the center of the country “f-” turns up more on the coasts). ![]() One of his projects examined the regional popularity of profanity in the U.S. In recent years, Jack Grieve of the department of English and linguistics at the University of Birmingham in England has embraced Twitter as a bountiful lode for looking at language-use patterns. ![]() ![]() These servos are manufactured for Vorpal Robotics, LLC by the actual Tower Pro corporation, and they use the same high quality gears and other components of the MG90 line of servos from Tower Pro.

Similarly, The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has described NMs as a “material with any external nanoscale dimension or having internal nanoscale surface structure”. The US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) also refers to NMs as “materials that have at least one dimension in the range of approximately 1 to 100 nm and exhibit dimension-dependent phenomena”. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “NMs can exhibit unique properties dissimilar than the equivalent chemical compound in a larger dimension”. Different organizations have a difference in opinion in defining NMs. However, a single internationally accepted definition for NMs does not exist. Today, there are several pieces of legislation in the European Union (EU) and USA with specific references to NMs. In principle, NMs are described as materials with length of 1–1000 nm in at least one dimension however, they are commonly defined to be of diameter in the range of 1 to 100 nm. A nanometer (nm) is an International System of Units (Système international d'unités, SI) unit that represents 10 −9 meter in length. NPs and NSMs have gained prominence in technological advancements due to their tunable physicochemical characteristics such as melting point, wettability, electrical and thermal conductivity, catalytic activity, light absorption and scattering resulting in enhanced performance over their bulk counterparts. Nanoparticles (NPs) and nanostructured materials (NSMs) represent an active area of research and a techno-economic sector with full expansion in many application domains. Additionally, the types of toxic reactions associated with NPs and NSMs and the regulations implemented by different countries to reduce the associated risks are also discussed. The review presents an overview of the history and classifications of NMs and gives an overview of the various sources of NPs and NSMs, from natural to synthetic, and their toxic effects towards mammalian cells and tissue. The aim of this review is to compare synthetic (engineered) and naturally occurring nanoparticles (NPs) and nanostructured materials (NSMs) to identify their nanoscale properties and to define the specific knowledge gaps related to the risk assessment of NPs and NSMs in the environment. Due to increased growth of production of NMs and their industrial applications, issues relating to toxicity are inevitable. The ability to predict the unique properties of NMs increases the value of each classification. NMs are categorized depending on their size, composition, shape, and origin. Nanomaterials (NMs) have gained prominence in technological advancements due to their tunable physical, chemical and biological properties with enhanced performance over their bulk counterparts. ![]() ![]() Red maples are hearty trees that grow to 50-70 feet tall.

Rather than a fungal, viral, or bacterial infection, leaf scorch can occur in summer when the weather is hot and dry. Season: Lichen can occur at any time of year.Treatment: Prune affected branches manually pull off the lichen.Causes: An organism composed of fungi and algae or cyanobacteria.Symptoms: A crusty, leaf-like, or tube-like growth on bark may have a bluish tint to it.Since lichen doesn’t feed on the tree, no harm is done. Preferring moist environments, lichen thrives on tree bark and uses energy from the sun to make food. When fungi and algae or cyanobacteria couple up to form a symbiotic relationship, a new existence called lichen is formed.

Risk Level: Low most maple trees will not contract verticillium wilt.Season: Summer, typically July and August.The best treatment is prevention through proper maintenance. In severe cases, remove the tree, fumigate the soil, and plant a wilt-resistant species in its place. Treatment: No cure, but some trees recover with proper care.Causes: Soil-based fungus “verticillium dahlia” or “verticillium albo-atrum”.Symptoms: Wilted, yellowing leaves on one side of the tree stunted leaf growth and defoliation discolored wood under the bark.Dead leaves will fall to the ground and the soil reabsorbs the fungal disease, potentially setting off a wider verticillium wilt infestation.
