Unreferenced date December 2009 Polar Studios is one of the most famous recording studio s in Scandinavia . Originally located in a former movie theater from 1934 at Sankt Eriksgatan 58 60 on Kungsholmen, Stockholm Kungsholmen in Stockholm , Sweden , Polar Studios was founded by Bj rn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson of ABBA in 1977 and had its grand opening on May 18 the year after. Led Zeppelin recorded their 1979 studio album, In Through the Out Door , at Polar Studios a few months after its grand opening. Artists such as Ramones the Ramones , Rammstein , Roxy Music , Genesis band Genesis , Adam Ant , Backstreet Boys , Beastie Boys , Belinda Carlisle , Burt Bacharach , Franki , Celine Dion , Roxette , Terra Firma , Entombed band Entombed , The Hellacopters and many major Swedish artists have worked at Polar Studios. The studio was generally regarded as one of the world s finest, and its centrepiece was a Harrison mixing console, which was modified by technician Leif Mases to give it a unique sound, that in some respects resembled a Neve. ABBA s 1981 album The Visitors ABBA album The Visitors marked a turning point for Polar, as it was recorded on the studio s new 3M digital recorder, thus becoming one of the first digital mainstream pop records. The interior of the studios provided the backdrop to ABBA s Gimme Gimme Gimme A Man After Midnight video in 1979, more than a year after they had opened in 1978. ABBA were depicted as though they were recording the song. In reality, the recording ... so the Polar Studios were used instead.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A polar filament is a structure found in the polar capsule of myxosporea n organisms, and is analogous to the penetrant structure found in cnidocyte s. The polar filament is coiled along the inner wall of the polar capsule, and is capable of rapid extrusion, during which it everts inside out . When everted, it is sticky, and probably serves to hold the spore on to the intestinal wall of the prospective host, and to help separate the valves of the spore. The polar filament is important in species classification. In some specied of Ceratomyxa , the polar filament forms a straight basal section, which the rest of the filament coils around, while in the genus Sphaeromyxa , the filament is folded in a zig zag arrangement, rather than being coiled.

The Global Geospace Science GGS Polar satellite was a NASA science spacecraft designed to study the polar magnetosphere and Aurora astronomy aurora . It was launched into orbit in February 1996, and continued operations until the program was terminated in April 2008. The spacecraft remains in orbit, though it is now inactive. Polar is the sister ship to WIND spacecraft GGS Wind . Launch It was designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin , and launched at 06 23 59.997 EST on February 24, 1996 aboard a McDonnell Douglas Delta II 7925 10 rocket from launch pad 2W at Vandenberg Air Force Base in Lompoc , California , to study the polar magnetosphere . The spacecraft was placed into a highly elliptical orbit with apogee at 9 earth radii and perigee at 1.8 earth radii geocentric , 86 degrees inclination, with a period of around 18 hours. The apogee was initially over the northern polar region, but has since been precessing south at about 16 per year. Operations Sensors on the spacecraft gathered multi wavelength imaging of the aurora astronomy aurora , and measured the entry of Plasma physics plasma into the polar magnetosphere and the geomagnetic tail, the flow of plasma to and from the ionosphere , and the deposition of particle energy in the ionosphere and upper atmosphere .

Image AntarcticaDomeCSnow.jpg thumb 270px Polar desert Polar deserts are areas with annual Precipitation meteorology precipitation less than 250 millimeters and a mean temperature during the warmest month of less than 10 C. Polar desert s on Earth cover nearly 5 million square kilometers and are mostly hard bedrock or gravel plains. Sand dune s are not prominent features in these deserts, but snow dunes occur commonly in areas where precipitation is locally more abundant. Temperature changes in polar deserts frequently cross the freezing point of water. This freeze thaw alternation forms patterned textures on the ground, as much as 5 meters in diameter. Most of the interior of Antarctica is polar desert, despite the thick ice cover. Conversely, the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica , although they have been ice free for thousands of years, are not necessarily polar desert they are kept dry by katabatic wind . Polar deserts are relatively common during ice ages , as ice ages tend to be dry.

Image Myxobolus spinacurvatura.jpg thumb 250px Alataspora solomoni , a myxosporea n parasite of Atlantic Horse Mackerel, showing the arrangement of the polar capsules on either side of the sutural line. Polar capsules are structures found in the valves of Myxosporea n parasites, which contain the polar filament . The polar capsule is constructed of a protein aceous and a polysaccharide layer, both layers of which continue into the polar filament. The mouth of the capsule is covered with a cap like structure. This structure may function as a stopper plug stopper , its digestion in the alimentary tract possibly triggering the discharge of the polar filaments. Two ideas have been proposed to explain the eversion of the polar filaments. Firstly, that the hydrostatic pressure in the polar capsule pushes the filament out, rather like the cnidocyst of coelenterate s. The second is that extrusion is an active process involving contractile proteins and is calcium dependent Uspenskaya, 1982 . References Uspenskaya, A.V. 1984 . Cytology of myxosporidia .

Unsourced date February 2012 Image Polar Membrane cut.png right thumb Sketch of a longitudinal ultrathin section through a typical motile bacterium bearing a flagellum and surrounding polar organelle at one end of the cell. Polar organelle also referred to in some microbiological literature articles as polar membrane or polar cap is a specialized region of the lipid cell membrane in bacteria l cells, usually located at or near the so called Cell biology pole s e.g. the ends of a cylindrical cell . This region can easily be distinguished from the normal membrane regions in ultrathin sections of embedded bacteria by electron microscopy when the cell membrane is orientated perpendicular to the viewing direction. There, the membrane appears slightly thickened with a finely frilled layer facing the inside of the cell. It is also possible to isolate these polar organelles from the bacterial cells and study them in face view in negative stain negatively stained preparations. The polar organelle bears a fine array of attached particles in hexagonal close packing and these have been shown to possess ATPase activity. Interestingly, the polar organelle is invariably found in close juxtaposition to the points of insertion of the bacterial flagella into the plasma membrane, especially where multiple flagella bases are grouped in a region of the cell membrane. It may thus be inferred that the polar organelle could be of importance in the supply and transfer of energy to the bidirectional molecular rotational motor situated at the base of each individual bacterial flagellum see also Electrochemical gradient .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The polar highs are areas of high atmospheric pressure around the north pole north and south pole s, south polar high being the stronger one because land gains and loses heat more effectively than sea. The cold temperatures in the polar regions cause air to descend to create the high pressure a process called subsidence atmosphere subsidence , just as the warm temperatures around the equator cause air to rise to create the low pressure intertropical convergence zone doldrums . Closely related to this concept is the polar vortex . Surface temperature s under the polar highs are the coldest on Earth, with no month having an average temperature of above freezing. Regions under the polar high also experience very low levels of Precipitation meteorology precipitation , which leads them to be known as polar desert s .
