Moon, phase

To compare between days and locations I standardised visitation rates for each species by calculating visits to each odour type as a proportion of mean visits to the blank stations by that species, on that night, and at that location. By making the data proportional I removed effects of differing population size and density, as well as variation between nights, for example in moon phase. These data were checked for normality and symmetry, and subsequently analysed with a two-tailed Wilcoxon signed ranks test (Zar 1999) to determine whether visitation rate differed from a value of one (indicating no difference between visitation rate to an odour source... 

Moon phase tables for upcoming years are shown below. 

New Moon Phase This phase is considered a waxing phase, when everything feels an upsurge of energy. 

First Quarter Moon Phase The energy is rising the sap flow is upwards. The moon rises now at noon and sets at midnight. It is a phase to activate the activities of the Balsamic Moon Phase. A good time to start anything. If the herbs were plucked during Balsamic Moon, now is the time to... 

Full Moon Phase This phase has a peaking of electro-magnetic energy in all living things at the exact time of full moon. The sap flow is downwards. For two days before full moon, and at full moon, are times when herbs are plucked for medicinal and culinary use. They are most potent medically. Some say now is the time for picking for magical use. One must also realise that this depends on the nature of the herb, and operation for which the herb is... 

Last Quarter Moon Phase This is a barren phase where it is most appropriate to rest and plan. The moon rises at midnight and vanishes in the morning, and only at that time can one undertake anything that requires a moon... 

Balsamic Moon Phase The last three days before new moon, and the last three days of the last quarter... 

Another theory is that the Balsamic Moon phase is the culmination of all the powers collected by the completed moon cycle ... 

Beyond the simple resistance of a material of construction to dissolution in a given chemical, many other properties enter into consideration when makiug an appropriate or optimum MOC selection for a given environmental exposure. These factors include the influence of velocity, impurities or contaminants, pH, stress, crevices, bimetallic couples, levels of nuclear, UV, or IB radiation, microorganisms, temperature heat flux, stray currents, properties associatea with original production of the material and its subsequent fabrication as an item of equipment, as well as other physical ana mechanical properties of the MOC, the Proverbial Siebert Changes in the Phase of the Moon, and so forth. 

The kitchen has an ancient bottled-gas stove, a Formica table with an oil lamp on it and a scatter of jewelry tools and materials, a tiled fireplace laid ready with raw-smelling coal, and a beautiful inlaid Queen Anne wall clock tocking away in the corner, showing the phases of the moon and the movement of the sun through the zodiac. As I head out of the back door and find the privy, a black shadow of a cat with blue eyes slips past my legs and away like warm smoke. 

Robert Richards The phases of the moon probably have an effect on various traits that we exhibit, but we think them unimportant to consider. 

It is interesting to note that the action of the moon on the oceans is such as to excite vibrations approximating the I2 modes with a phase difference of a quarter cycle between them. This is why the period of the tides is 12 hours although the earth rotates under the moon with a period of 24 hours. 

A factor that is uncontrollable by the experimenter might nevertheless be controlled by some other forces. Incident gamma ray background intensity, fluctuations in the levels of the oceans, barometric pressure, and phase of the moon cannot be controlled by the experimenter, but they are controlled by the Laws of Nature . Such factors are usually relatively constant with time (e.g., barometric pressure over a short term), or vary in some predictable way (e.g., phase of the moon). 

When Forman wrote to Napier in September 1599, hundreds of astrological books and manuscripts could have been found in London. Astronomical primers often included astrological information. Almanacs were printed annually, containing calendars of ecclesiastical holidays, the phases of the moon, dates of fairs or other local information, and prognostications about the weather, harvest, disease, and politics. They also advertised the services of their authors.Extraordinary astronomical events, such as the conjunction of... 

When the elements are ejected from the stars where they were produced, they are in the gas phase. Subsequently, they combine in various chemical compounds and most condense as solids. The nature of those compounds and their behavior in the various environments encountered on their way to becoming part of the solar system can, in principle, be determined from the basic chemical properties of the elements. Evaporation and condensation are also important in the solar system and have played a defining role in determining the properties of planets, moons, asteroids, and the meteorites derived from them, comets, dust... 

Internal 87Rb-87Sr isochrons were particularly useful in unraveling the history of the Moon and Mars. As an example, consider mare basalts from the Sea of Tranquility collected by Apollo 11. These lunar basalts consist primarily of calcium-rich (anorthitic) plagioclase and low-calcium pyroxene, along with ilmenite, crystobalite, and other minor phases. Strontium is concentrated in the calcium sites in plagioclase and is excluded from most other phases, resulting in a variation of a factor of several hundred in the strontium...
