	Portia tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Portia tree ( Thespesia populnea ; family Malvaceae) is a small tree or arborescent shrub 5-10(-20) m high that is pantropical in littoral environments, although probably native only to the Old World.
		In Hawaiâi and elsewhere in the Pacific it is possibly indigenous, although may have been spread by early Polynesians for its useful wood and fiber.
		Throughout the 20th century, Pitcairners have sailed to Henderson Island to obtain miro wood.

		Joan Miro Ferra, the future artist was the son of a goldsmith and the grandson of a flsmith.
		Miro, who was notoriously taciturn, is quoted as saying, "When I see a tree, for instance a carob tree, which is a very typical tree at home in Catalonia, I feel that tree is talking to me. It has eyes.
		Miro was embraced by the Surrealists as one of their own and his successful exhibition at the Pierre Gallery, Paris in 1925, had the atmosphere of an official Surrealist demonstration.

	Joan Miro at Weinstein Gallery
		Born Joan Miro Ferra on April 20, 1893, in Barcelona, the future artist was the son of a goldsmith and the grandson of a flsmith.
		Miro frequently depicted birds throughout his long career, images that enable his pictorial fantasies to take flight and a viewer's imagination to soar.
		Miro found that by combining this new technique with other etching methods, especially aquatint (a painterly technique of engraving a resin ground on an etching plate rather than the plate itself), he could invent images to rival any painting, thereby ennobling the art of printmaking.

	"Alta and Miro" by California North Coast Author Joe Smith
		They would just be there, Miro with his battered guitar and Alta with her frizzy hair, resting on the porch of the defunct bar, waiting for the store next door to open.
		Miro might be strumming the guitar, coaxing unusual chords from the strings while Alta lilted formless melodies in her high, ethereal voice.
		Once one six-pack was polished off, Alta and Miro climbed the trail back into town, deposited the empties at the store and began the trek with the other six-pack up the county road twisting into the wooded ridges to the east.

	Joan Miro
		It has the obsessive documentation of visual reality that we find in primitive painting: each leaf on the dominating eucalyptus tree is separately painted, each rock in the stony field to the right is given an autonomous space, each blade of grass is given its own identity.
		The space recedes to distant mountains, but the trees and bushes at the horizon are treated with the same measured detail as the foreground objects, as if perception were indifferent to distance.
		Miro was a prolific writer on his art.

	M.Capan: Survey of Different Multicast Routing Protocols (MIPRO'98)
		This tree is rooted at the source of the multicast traffic and its leaves are subnetworks containing receivers of that traffic.
		Once the spanning tree has been built, a multicast router simply forwards each multicast packet to all interfaces that are part of the spanning tree except the one on which the packet arrived from.
		When compared to simple forwarding, spanning tree algorithm insures loopless multicast packet path to all routers in the internetwork, but drawbacks of this algorithm are traffic concentration on relatively small number of available links and failing to provide most efficient path between the source subnetwork and group members.

		He has used the metaphor to describe a tree: what a tree is, and what a tree means, for him.
		Scott's metaphor of the "tree as technology" expresses what he believes to be a truth about the way nature is organized and about how we -- as part of nature -- ought to organize ourselves -- if we are to remain part of nature.
		Scott chooses to express his intuitive understanding of "tree" in the metaphor: "tree as technology." He might have done it in a painting, or in sculpture.

		A tree in which such snares are set is called a rakau tahei, taumatua or toka a manu When feeding on the berries of the kohe or miro they put on a lot of weight.
		Miro berries made them so thirsty so that they headed for the nearest water and could be caught with wai taeke and weak snares (snares attached to feeding troughs or by water).
		Mutu, tumu and pewa snares are perch snares and were set in any tree such as the Miro that has foliage and fruits at the end of the branch.

		Rata stared at the trees around him and with a start, he recognised the totora tree that he had chopped down yesterday.
		He began to lift the heavy tree and then all at once he felt it move, turn slowly, lift off the ground and then settle on the stump he had cut it from.
		And as he held on to the tree, he felt thousands of little legs run over his body and on to the tree trunk.

	Collecting and Growing Native Tree Seed - Harmony Farm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Unlike many commonly used exotic trees and shrubs which are easy to propagate from seed the majority of native species require quite specific treatment from the time of seed collection right through to seed sowing and germination.
		The drupes of the cabbage tree, fivefinger, and pate are clustered in large numbers in clumps or panicles, whereas those of the other species are more generally scattered along branches.
		When the cone falls from the trees it invariably shatters on impact with the ground and the seed quickly disperses with the wind or is consumed by rodents.

	PhD. Dissertation of Miguel A. Alonso Pardo
		Tree adjoining grammars are an extension of context-free grammars that use trees instead of productions as the primary representing structure and that are considered to be adequate to describe most of syntactic phenomena occurring in natural languages.
		These grammars generate the class of tree adjoining languages, which is equivalent to the class of languages generated by linear indexed grammars and other mildly context-sensitive formalisms.
		In the first part of this dissertation, we introduce the problem of parsing tree adjoining grammars and linear indexed grammars, creating, for both formalisms, a continuum from simple pure bottom-up algorithms to complex predictive algorithms and showing what transformations must be applied to each one in order to obtain the next one in the continuum.

	RNZIH - Conference 1999
		This teaches that trees show external symptoms of internal characteristics, and just as doctors do with humans, we need to learn to read and analyse the body language of a tree to know what is happening inside.
		The crown of the tree appears to be turning clockwise or anticlockwise, which results in ridges of raised wood spirally around the trunk.
		It is less frequent in trees in dense stands of bush, more frequent in trees in exposed sites; leading to speculation that wind damage (or other damage) to growing tips of tiny seedlings may be a contributing factor.

		All trees removed are direction-felled to minimise damage and lifted from the forest by helicopter.
		At approximately one million rimu trees in Okarito and Saltwater forest and at a conservative estimate of an average life of 400 years, (assuming some sort of normality of age classes) every year would see nature itself fell 2, 500 trees in these forests each year.
		The felled trees will yield a total of 16,736 cubic metres of rimu timber and 1,131 cubic metres of miro.

		The green leaves are marbled white and deeply serrated when young, less so as the tree matures and the branches straighten to form a small, spreading tree of about 5.0m (16ft).
		Older trees have a wonderful knarled appearance and the thick glossy 'apple-green' leaves have made this tree a staple foliage plant abroad.
