Specialty Definition: Plant stem

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A stem is the above ground axis of a vascular plant. The young stem develops in the germinating seedling from embryonic tissue known as the hypocotyl. Lengthening of the hypocotyl lifts the cotyledon(s), plumule (leaf precursor tissues), and terminal or apical meristem above the ground. The surface cells differentiate and mature into a protective epidermal layer. A few cells interior differentiate as chollenchyma, providing support to the young stem. Clusters of elongated cells appear — these are the provascular strands. The remainder of the stem consists of parenchyma cells: those lying between the epidermis and the provascular strands forming a cortex and those interior to the provascular strands forming a pith. Parenchyma radiating from the pith between the precursors of the vascular bundles are called pith rays.

These tissues are the early precursors of the mature stem tissues, and define the basic functions of the stem:

Stem (skiing)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Stem technique in Skiing is usually credited to Mathias Zdarsky, from Austria, who invented it in the 1890s. Its variations gradually replaced the telemark technique in Alpine skiing.

The technique involves "stemming" out the uphill ski - pushing it out from being parallel with the downhill ski to to form a V shape.

Stem varients

The three variations of the stem turn are:

The three variants together formed the basis of the Austrian Arlberg Technique and instruction system.

The collision occurred between the two ships in Coronado Roads, California. The sharp prow of the Percival punctured the port forward oil tank of the William Jones, in addition to cutting three deep gashes in the hull just above the water line and cracking several frame plates. William Jones was placed on the marine ways at the Destroyer Base for repairs, when spattered from stem to stern with oil that poured out from the leaking fuel tank, she returned to the harbor.
