Regardless of the excesses of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, its eighth ruler, the empire founded by Seleucus I Nicator, along with others who have helped to build cultural bridges, played a pivotal role in the maturation of both humanity towards openness to adopt what's worth in almost any civilization, to see all of understanding as the patrimony of their everybody, and to respect the welfare of as a shared obligation.


Historical career and increase power


From the time of the campaigns starting late at 327 B.C.E. he'd climbed to the control of this élite infantry corps from the Macedonian army, the"Shield-bearers" (Hypaspistai), afterwards called the"Silver Shields." In addition, he took his future spouse, the Persian Lady Apama, together with him India because his mistress, where she had his own bastard eldest son Antiochus (325 B.C.E.), the later Antiochus. In the excellent unions ceremony in Susa in spring 324 B.C.E. Seleucus officially married Apama, and she later bore him two valid daughters, Laodike and Apama.

In the next partition, in Triparadisus (321 B.C.E.), Seleucus had been awarded the authorities of this Babylonian satrapy. In the war that followed between Antigonus and another Macedonian chiefs, Seleucus actively cooperated with Ptolemy and controlled Egyptian squadrons from the Aegean Sea.

The Winogradsky Column: an enclosed self sustaining microbial system.

 The Winogradsky Column: an enclosed self sustaining microbial system. Or, to put it differently, a microbial backyard. The columns are named for a famed Russian microbiologist, Sergei Winogradsky (his wikipedia page could be seen here). Winogradsky made lots of significant discoveries and is believed to be the father of sulfur microbiology. By analyzing nitrogen and sulfur determined microbes, Winogradsky managed to deduce that they got energy from chemical reactions and found that energy to grow carbon dioxide, a chemical procedure called chemoautotrophy. Before his suggestion, just plants and coloured bacteria were believed to rise by adjusting carbon dioxide using light energy; i.e. photoautotrophy. We people are heterotrophs, we must consume repaired carbon (i.e. crops, animals, candy bars) to find the electricity and carbon we utilize to grow. The columns were devised by Winogradsky as a means to enhance for germs out of sediments and soils. Enrichment method to develop certa...
