The nucleus (atomic nucleus) is the center of an atom.
The number of protons in an atomic nucleus is called the atomic number, and determines which chemical element the atom is. For example, a nucleus with one proton (which is the only nucleus that may have no neutrons) constitutes an atom of hydrogen, with six protons, carbon, or with eight, oxygen.
A heavy nucleus can contain hundreds of nucleons (neutrons and protons), which means that to some approximation it can be treated as a classical system, rather than a quantum-mechanical one.

 Gene Therapy: Encyclopedia of Medicine
Within the cell's nucleus (the center part of a cell that regulates its chemical functions) are pairs of chromosomes.
These threadlike structures are made up of a single molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which carries the blueprint of life in the form of codes, or genes, that determine inherited characteristics.
In this type of gene therapy, therapeutic genes are inserted into tissue or cells to produce a naturally occurring protein or substance that is lacking or not functioning correctly in an individual patient.

William Herschel investigated the shape of our Galaxy during the latter part of the 18th century and concluded that its stars are arranged roughly in the form of a double-convex lens.
Basically Herschel was correct, although he placed our Sun near the centre of the system; in fact, it is well out towards the edge, and lies 25,000 light years from the galactic nucleus.
Herschel also studied the luminous ‘clouds’ or nebulae, and made the tentative suggestion that those nebulae capable of resolution into stars might be separate galaxies, far outside our own Galaxy.

 MILESAGO - Groups & Solo Artists - Max Merritt & The Meteors
Bands had to be able to play a wide variety of genres, including a lot of instrumental dance music, and have a wide repetoire of songs.
The first two programs were the band only, the third was the group augmented by a three-piece brass section, and the fourth presented them backed by a full show band.
For a band consistently hailed one of the best live acts of their era, it's particularly unfortunate that they didn't record a live album until 1976.

 Hillman Musical Odyssey: The Guess Who Connection - Chad Allan Years
The actual core nucleus band I considered to be the Silvertones in the late '50s.
There was an association there that seemed to stick and we were associated with heavy duty American bands or British bands in particular, and it seemed to me that we kinda passed that local plateau before people had a chance to realize that we were a local band and boom it was a hit.
Money wasn't a big factor with the band and it was a good tight friendly band at the time and then later on it got into heavier scenes when the money entered the scene and we got different management.

Purchased by Wurlitzer in 1909, the deKleist factory became the nucleus of Wurlitzer's automatic musical instrument division in North Tonawanda.
Eugene deKleist's use of brass trumpets, clarinets, and piccolos established the "American style" of band organ through the late 1910s.
Bruder organs in the early years, and later sold Wurlitzer band organs and Tangley calliopes.

 A Brief History of Jazz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In its beginnings jazz was more an approach to performance than a body of musical compositions.
The fl marching bands of New Orleans, which often accompanied funeral processions, played traditional slow hymns on the way to the cemetery; for the procession back to town, they broke into jazzed-up versions of the same hymns, ragtime tunes, or syncopated renditions of popular marches.
The instruments in the marching band--a cornet or a trumpet to carry the melody, with a clarinet and trombone to fill in, and a rhythm section of drums or a string bass--formed the nucleus of the first jazz bands, which usually added only a piano, guitar, or banjo.
