	Chinese calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beginning in 256 BCE with the Qin kingdom, which would later become the Qin dynasty, the intercalary month was an extra ninth month at the end of a year that began with the tenth month, now placing the winter solstice in the eleventh month.
		However, the conjunction of the sun and moon (the astronomical new moon) used the mean motions of both the sun and moon only until 619, the second year of the Tang dynasty, when both began to use true motions modeled using two offset opposing parabolas (with small linear and cubic components).
		The true motion of the sun was now used to calculate the jiéqì, which caused the intercalary month to often occur after the second through the ninth months, but rarely after the tenth through first months.

	Intercalation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In many calendars, this is done by adding to a common year of 365 days, an extra day (leap day or intercalary day): this makes a leap year of 366 days.
		In the Gregorian calendar, the intercalary day is February 29.
		The solar year does not have a whole number of lunar months either, so a lunisolar calendar must have a variable number of months in a year.

	Islamic calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Whether the intercalary month (Nasi) was added in the spring like that of the Hebrew calendar or in autumn is debatable.
		It is assumed that the intercalary month was added between the twelfth month (the month of the pre-Islamic Hajj) and the first month (Muharram) of this pre-Islamic year.
		On the other hand, Muhammad forbade the intercalary month (released the calendar from the seasons) near the end of his life, which implies a pre-Islamic year beginning near the vernal equinox because that is when the modern lunar year began during his last year.

		Intercalary is the adjective form of the verb to intercalate, which means to insert.
		This last name is derived from the location of the intercalary day every fourth year in the Julian calendar that was put into use by Julius Caesar in 45 B.C. He realized that a tropical year, the interval of time between successive beginnings of spring, is about 365 1/4 days.
		Since agriculture was the main occupation of most people in the world until 200 years ago, adjusting the calendar year to fit the seasons seems the most reasonable way to form a calendar.

		From the meaning of something inserted or placed between, intercalary is used for something which interrupts a series, or comes between two types.
		In botany, the term is used of growth which is not apical but somewhere between the apex and base of an organ, such as the growth in length of an Iris leaf, or of the internode of a grass-haulm.
		The intercolumniations of the columns of the Ionic Order are greater, averaging 2 diameters, but then the relative proportion of height to diameter in the column has tc be taken into account, as also the width of the peristyle.

		Once the intercalary meristem is removed the growth stops because the Source of regrowth is gone.

		The current year, 1996, is referred to as a "leap year" because we have inserted a "leap day" to make the length 366 days rather than the usual 365 days.
		The official name of the "leap day" is an intercalary day (with the accent on the second syllable).
		Caesar's intercalary day was inserted on what is now the day before February 24, thus making a second, sixth day (bissextile) counting back from March 1 -- the beginning of the Roman year.

		Antiates Maiores shows a fixed Intercalaris of 27 days, with the Kalends being assigned a nundinal letter of G, and ending with a nundinal letter of A, as in a standard Februarius, so we must conclude that the intercalary month itself was fixed, and the variability was handled in a different way.
		Macrobius, Saturnalia 1.13.19, describes an additional intercalary day that could be inserted, also around the Terminalia or into an intercalary month, in order to avoid having a market day fall on the Nones, or on the first day of the year.
		If the intercalary month was 23 days, the effect of the extra day would be to convert it to a 24-day intercalary month; since 24 is a multiple of 8, this would not change the relationship of the market day to the Nones.

		The intercalary phalangeal elements are very different than those of arboreal frogs such as hylids and centrolenids.
		The elongate nature of the intercalary element is unique among frogs, and suggests a role in increasing the length of the digit and area of the webbing in these highly aquatic frogs.
		Intercalary elements are also known in Hyperoliidae and Rhacophoridae, as well as mantelline ranids and phrynomerine microhylids.

		Beginning in 256 BC with the Qin kingdom, which would later become the Qin dynasty, the intercalary month was an extra ninth month at the end of a year that began with the tenth month, now placing the winter solstice in the eleventh month.
		His Tàichū 太初 (Grand Inception) calendar of 104 BC had a year with the winter solstice in the eleventh month and designated as intercalary any calendar month (a month of 29 or 30 whole days) during which the sun remained within the same sign of the zodiac throughout.
		Because the sun's mean motion was used to calculate the jiéqì until 1645, this intercalary month was equally likely to occur after any month of the year.

		We have investigated the effect of GA on cell division activity in the intercalary meristem and have correlated the progression of cells through the cell cycle to molecular events that regulate it, e.g., the expression of a cdc2 gene and of cyclin genes (9).

		In addition, an intercalary month, the Mensis Intercalaris, was sometimes inserted between February and March.
		This intercalary month was formed by inserting 22 days before the last five days of February, creating a 27-day month.
		According to the later writers Censorinus and Macrobius, the ideal intercalary cycle consisted of ordinary years of 355 days alternating with intercalary years, which were alternately 377 and 378 days long.

		Thus col appears to be specifically expressed in posterior cells of the intercalary segment (parasegment -1) and in anterior cells of the mandibular segment [the first pregnathal (in front of the mouth) segment], a region that possibly corresponds to parasegment 0 (Crozatier, 1996).
		Because the anterior compartment cells of the hypopharyngeal lobe primordium are not separated by intervening hh- or en-expressing cells from the anterior mandibular segment, the hypopharyngeal lobe should be considered nominally part of the mandibular segment, although it appears to be defined independently at blastoderm stages, as judged by kn activation.
		Col is ventrally repressed by ems and the mesodermal genes sna and twi; by the trunk pair rule gene eve in the posterior, and by a yet unknown factor in the anterior.

	Calendopaedia - The Julian Calender
		The intercalary month of twenty-three days fell into the year of course, so that the ancient year of 355 days received an augmentation of ninety days; and the year on that occasion contained in all 445 days.
		February having then twenty-nine days, the 25th was the 6th of the calends of March, sexto calendas; the preceding, which was the additional or intercalary day, was called bis-sexto calendas,--hence the term bissextile, which is still employed to distinguish the year of 366 days.
		In the modern calendar the intercalary day is still added to February, not, however, between the 24th and 25th, but as the 29th.

		The five are the apical meristem (meristem=tissues capable of growth), the intercalary meristem, basal buds, stolons, and rhizomes.
		Intercalary meristems begin in the primordium and are pushed upward to become the base of each leaf blade.
		This expansion is conducive for photosynthesis and, if a leaf tip is removed, the intercalary cells continue to increase the leaf blade although the leaf tip will not regrow.

		An intercalary year was normally 378 days long, and was preceded and succeeded by regular years.
		Although such a run could have occurred in the last decade of the second century, there was certainly one under Caesar's pontificate, apparently because of the desire to avoid a market day on Kal.
