Why the CERN buildings are so numbered?

Frequently Asked Questions by Visitors to CERN Guides
Les expériences du CERN sont également destinées à mieux comprendre le comportement de la matière, c'est à dire les interactions entre les différents composants de la matière. Le domaine de la physique englobant ce type de recherches fondamentales est appelé "Physique des particules".

How are the meteorites numbered?

ANSMET - Frequently Asked Questions
The ANSMET meteorite labelling system is distinct from that used for Apollo moon rocks in several ways. When a meteorite is found it is given a field number that we use purely for bookkeeping purposes- this number has no information concerning year, type, size, etc, and is used to correlate the specimen with our field notes. The specimen retains this number until all the meteorites arrive at the lab at Johnson Space Center.

What does CERN do?

Frequently Asked Questions by Visitors to CERN Guides
The aim of CERN is to study the nature and structure of matter. The CERN experiments are also designed to give a better understanding of the behaviour of matter, i.e. the interactions between the different components of matter. The branch of physics incorporating this type of fundamental research is called "Particle Physics". The reason why CERN's machines are so huge and complex is that the study of matter needs machines that can create ever greater energy densities at microscopic level.

What is the shortest numbered highway?

misc.transport.road FAQ
KY-2920 near Lawrenceburg in Anderson County is recorded as 0.007 mile (equal to 36.96 feet - see http://www.kytc.state.ky.us/planning/sprslistings/sprs.htm ). VT-26 in Lemington, formerly touted as the shortest, is officially recorded as a rounded 0.01 mile, equal to 52.8 feet (photos at http://www.roadgeek.org/waste_of_film/page5.html ), but is actually 69 feet long, making it longer than both KY-2920 and KY-2250 in Louisville (0.009 mile, equivalent to 47.52 feet).

What is the highest numbered highway?

misc.transport.road FAQ
VA's George Washington Memorial Parkway has the "secret" inventory number of 90005, with the Dulles Access Road and the Colonial Parkway elsewhere in the state being numbered 90004 and 90003 respectively. http://www.vahighways.com/route-log/va800-999.

Why is WY 789 numbered as such?

misc.transport.road FAQ
It was part of a longer multi-state SR 789. In the 1950s and 1960s it went from the Mexican border in Arizona to the Canadian border in Montana. The only state that didn't just multiplex 789 with other state/U.S. routes was Wyoming,and when Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Montana got rid of their 789s in the late 1970s, Wyoming was left with a weirdly numbered route, which remains to this day.

Why is FL A1A numbered (and lettered) as such?

misc.transport.road FAQ
Florida uses the grid system for its state highways, which puts 1 on the Atlantic coast. However, when U.S. Highways were created, US 1 was run into Florida parallel to and very close to FL 1. To avoid confusion, FL 1 was renumbered FL A1A (1A was already in use). (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_State_Road_A1A ) And yes, Alternate A1As have existed. There have also been a FL A19A and a FL G1A. Feb 1, 2005

How often are buildings added?

Frequently Asked Questions
Profiles are added weekly, as we receive data from property managers, developers and other sources. Coming are thousands more profiles in suburban Cook County, starting with more than 400 in Evanston.

How many people work at CERN?

What is CERN's power consumption?

Frequently Asked Questions by Visitors to CERN Guides
During 1996, in normal operation (of approx. 4000 hours), LEP consumed ? 262 GWh (262 million kWh), or less than 0.01 % of the electricity used in Europe. This rate of power consumption is lower than that of a jumbo-jet for the same operating time. It is slightly over half the power consumption for households in the Canton of Geneva which is some 483 GWh a year. For 1996, the total electricity consumption by CERN was ? 933 GWh (or 933 million kWh).

Why Geneva was chosen as the site for CERN?

Frequently Asked Questions by Visitors to CERN Guides
Orginally Copenhagen figured prominently among the list of candidate sites, due to the influence of Niels Bohr. For some time the Theory Group was at Copenhagen before moving to Geneva. Also the UK was a candidate, as Liverpool (Chadwick) already had one of the world's biggest synchro-cyclotrons. Heisenberg thought this machine should be used for CERN, at least temporarily.

Why are the yeast chromosomes oriented and numbered the way they are?

Frequently Asked Questions
The current orientation is nothing more than a historical accident. The first map with chromosome numbers was published by Hawthorne and Mortimer (Genetics (1960) 45: 1085-1110). There were earlier maps by Lindgren and others but they did not name the chromosomes. It is clear from the first map the chromosomes were oriented with the long arm to the right of the centromere and this orientation has not changed. Since that 1960 paper, chromosomes I through X have been in the same orientation.

Image file names have a numbered appended?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
This will happen for any image you have resized smaller in Cool Page, when you Preview, Publish or Export. This is necessary to output the optimized images. This optimization makes much faster loading web pages and better looking images. If you don't wish for an image to be optimized by Cool Page, then don't resize it in Cool Page.

Why doesn't the change log show more than one bug number and link? (Some change numbers address multiple bug reports.)

What is a Numbered Corporation?

Incorporation | Incorporate | NUANS | Trademark | Domain Nam...
To speed up the incorporating process and to permit immediate delivery of the Articles of Incorporation, a corporation can, at the request of the people who incorporate the corporation, be assigned a number as its corporate name (for example, 123456 Canada Inc.). The corporation may then register a trade name and be known to its customers as doing business under the trade name. Although the corporation must be identified by its actual name (i.e., the number followed by Canada Inc. or Ltd.
