The Barbary pirates , who had been marauding off the coast of Africa for centuries, encountered a new enemy in the early 19th century: the young United States Navy. The North African pirates had been a menace for so long that by the late 1700s most nations paid tribute to ensure that merchant shipping could proceed without being violently attacked.
The columns that hold up your porch roof may look simple, but their history is long and complicated. Some columns trace their roots to the Classical Orders of architecture, a type of "building code" from ancient Greece and Rome. Others find inspiration in Moorish or Asian building traditions. Others have been modernized from round to square.

The Dobzhansky-Muller Model is a scientific explanation of why natural selection influences speciation in such a way that when hybridization occurs between species, the resulting offspring is genetically incompatible with other members of its species of origin. This occurs because there are several ways that speciation occurs in the natural world, one of which is that a common ancestor can break off into many lineages due to reproductive isolations of certain populations or parts of populations of that species.

Phase Diagram Definition A phase diagram is a chart showing the thermodynamic conditions of a substance at different pressures and temperatures. The regions around the lines show the phase of the substance and the lines show where the phases are in equilibrium. Parts of a Phase Diagram Typically, a phase diagram includes lines of equilibrium or phase boundaries.
