NGC 2264
From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia
NGC 2264 is
the designation number of the New General Catalogue
that identifies four astronomical objects
as a single object: the Cone
Nebula, the Christmas
Tree Cluster, Snowflake Cluster,[2][3]
and the Fox Fur Nebula[1].
All of the objects are located in the Monoceros
constellation and are located about 800 parsecs
or 2600 light-years from Earth.
NGC 2264 is sometimes referred to as the Christmas
Tree Cluster and the Cone Nebula. However, the
designation of NGC 2264 in the New General Catalogue
refers to both objects and not the cluster alone.
15 monocerotis:
S Monocerotis, also known as 15
Monocerotis, is a massive variable star system located in the constellation
Monoceros
containing seven or more stars.
Cone
Nebula:
The cone's shape comes from a dark absorption
nebula consisting of cold molecular hydrogen and dust in front of a
faint emission nebula containing
hydrogen ionized by S
Monocerotos,
the brightest star of NGC 2264. The faint nebula is approximately seven
light-years long (with an apparent length of 10 arcminutes), and is
2,700 light-years away from Earth.
Fox Fur
Nebula:
This enigmatic formation of gas and dust lies in
the constellation of Monoceros
(the Unicorn) not far off the left arm of Orion. This is a
close-up of a small section of a much larger complex, generally known
as the Christmas
Tree cluster. The mysterious Cone
Nebula is also a part of
this same cloud.
The red regions of this nebula are caused by
hydrogen gas that has
been stimulated to emit its own light by the copious ultraviolet
radiation coming from the hot, blue stars of the cluster. The blue
areas shine by a different process: they are mainly dust clouds that
reflect the bluish light of the same stars.
Its popular name arises because the nebula looks
like the head of a stole made from the fur
of a red fox.

Welcome
to my internet site!
The
primary objective of ALBUM is to organize personal notes.
Notes are
composed of various kind of DATA that are based by remarks or comments,
and notes, in general, can be accompanied by a picture or other type of
DATA
as, for example, multimedia object. To assembly together those
DATA in a more completly form, ALBUM
define the REFERENCE,
to group
multiple note in a more generic single information.
If
photography or multimedia is your hobby or one of your interests, this
site is for you!
Organize your
precious pictures, any registrated OLE file extension, notes
and reference in an ALBUM stored in a CD-ROM or DVD.
|
|
The
resulting database is something like an ALBUM where to collect your
precious pictures, family movies, or any other kind of file.
With
ALBUM you
can search within notes or grouping them, and, it is
very small can be copied on CD-ROM or DVD.
The
technology I used to
build ALBUM is Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 2003
Standard, Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft Jet - OLE DB -
ADO.NET for the database, and Microsoft GDI+ for pictures.
Microsoft
Visual Basic .NET support THREADS, so there is a
THREAD per picture to display a page...very fast!
Microsoft
GDI+ have very powerful features such as high quality interpolation,
very useful when you resize small/big pictures, you have as a
result a picture without blocky edges (see "Screenshots" section for an
example).
Microsoft
.NET Framework,
Microsoft Jet - OLE DB - ADO.NET are used to collect all the
informations about the ALBUM in one small file, the ALBUM database, you
can copy it on the CD or DVD.
ALBUM record only
file names, notes and reference, all the rest is kept in a DATA
directory within the album directory, or, it is possible to insert the
file picture into the database file, in this case the performance are
similar.
The
database can be protected by a password and a picture can be imported
and exported into or out the database.
Many other
fetures are implemented in the
application, see the
"Features" section for more details.

One
of the useful features is the bookmark
and the bookmark type.
Pictures can be bookmarked by a standard or
customized bookmark type.
Standard bookmarks type are colored ("Black",
"Red", "Green", "Blue", "Indigo", "Yellow", "Ochre", "Magenta",
"Amaranth", "Cyan", "Fuchsia", "Violet", "Brown", "Gray", "Orange",
"Pink", "Turquoise", "Lilac", "Lime", "Tan", "Purple", "Amethyst") and
cannot be changed.
Customized bookmark type is White and the name
can be specified by a 255 byte characters string.

Artist's
conception of the 4C60.07 system of colliding galaxies. The galaxy on
the left has turned most of its gas into stars, and the black hole in
its center is ejecting charged particles in the two immense jets shown.
The galaxy on the right also has a black hole causing the galaxy's
central region to shine, but much of its light is hidden by surrounding
gas and dust. Vast numbers of stars are forming out of the gas and
dust, and some of the material is being pulled away from the galaxy.

Red
Gate has recently acquired .NET Reflector. We will continue to maintain
a free version for the benefit of the community. Over the next few
months we will be exploring how we can make Reflector even more useful
to .NET developers. We always welcome feedback from the community so,
if you have any ideas, please post them on the .NET Reflector forum.

In cryptography,
the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES), also known as Rijndael,
is a block cipherencryption
standard by the U.S.
government. It has been analyzed extensively and is now used
worldwide, as was the case with its predecessor,[3] the Data Encryption Standard
(DES). AES was announced by National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as U.S. FIPS
PUB 197 (FIPS 197) on November 26, 2001 after a 5-year standardization
process in which fifteen competing designs were presented and evaluated
before Rijndael was selected as the most suitable (see Advanced
Encryption Standard process for more details). It became
effective as a standard May 26, 2002. As of 2006, AES is one of the
most popular algorithms used in symmetric
key cryptography.
It is available by choice in many different encryption packages. This
marks the first time that the public has had access to a cipherNSA for top secret
information (see Security of AES,
below).
The cipher
was developed by two BelgianJoan
Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, and
submitted to the AES selection process under the name "Rijndael", a portmanteau
of the names of the inventors. (Rijndael is pronounced [rɛindaːl]).
Unlike DES (the predecessor of
AES), AES is a substitution-permutation
network, not a Feistel
network. AES is fast in both software and hardware,
is relatively easy to implement, and requires little memory.
As a new encryption standard, it is currently being deployed on a large
scale.
