![]() Male mountain goats are typically larger, stronger, and heavier than females and have a longer beard than the females. Male goats also have longer horns and longer beards than females. Their coats help them to withstand winter temperatures as low as −46 ☌ (−51 ☏) and winds of up to 160 kilometres per hour (99 mph).Ī male goat stands about 1 m (3.3 ft) at the shoulder to the waist and can weigh considerably more than the female (around 30% more in some cases). Mountain goats molt in spring by rubbing against rocks and trees, with the adult billies shedding their extra wool first and the pregnant nannies shedding last. The fine, dense wool of their undercoats is covered by an outer layer of longer, hollow hairs. ![]() They are protected from the elements by their woolly greyish white double coats. General appearance and characteristics Mountain goat on Mount Massive, Colorado, United Statesīoth male and female mountain goats have beards, short tails, and long black horns, 15–28 cm (5.9–11 in) in length, which contain yearly growth rings. The name Oreamnos is derived from the Greek term ὄρος óros (stem ore-) meaning "mountain" (or, alternatively, oreas "mountain nymph") and the word ἀμνός amnós meaning "lamb". The mountain goat is the only living species in the genus Oreamnos. Ancient DNA studies suggest that this was the sister species of the living mountain goat, not its ancestor consequently, the living species would also date back to the Pleistocene at least. In the Pleistocene era, the small prehistoric mountain goat Oreamnos harringtoni lived in the southern Rocky Mountains. No Pliocene mountain goats have been identified yet the known fossil record is fairly recent, entirely from North America, and barely differs from the living animals. The mountain goat's ancestors thus probably crossed the Bering Strait after they split from their relatives, presumably before the Wisconsinian glaciation. Given that all major caprine lineages emerged in the Late Miocene and contain at least one but usually several species from the eastern Himalayan region, their most likely place of origin is between today's Tibet and Mongolia or nearby. The mountain goats probably diverged from their relatives in the late Tortonian, some 7.5 to 8 million years ago. The sheep lineage is also very closely related, while the muskox lineage is somewhat more distant. Other members of this group are the bharal, the true goats, and the Himalayan tahr. The takins of the Himalayan region, while not a sister lineage of the mountain goat, are nonetheless very closely related and almost coeval to the mountain goat they evolved in parallel from an ancestral goat. It belongs to the subfamily Caprinae, along with true goats, wild sheep, the chamois, the muskox and other species. The mountain goat is an even-toed ungulate of the order Artiodactyla and the family Bovidae (along with antelopes, gazelles, and cattle). Mountain goats generally avoid venturing down into lower elevations-except during seasonal food shortages or during particularly bad weather-as the extreme elevation which they inhabit is their primary defense against predators such as black and brown bears, pumas and wolves.ĭespite its vernacular name and both genera being in the same subfamily ( Caprinae), the mountain goat is not a member of Capra, the genus that includes all other goats (such as the wild goat ( Capra aegagrus), from which the domestic goat is derived) rather, it is more closely allied with the other bovids known as “ goat-antelopes”, including the European chamois ( Rupicapra), the gorals ( Naemorhedus), the takins ( Budorcas) and the serows ( Capricornis), of Japan and eastern South Asia. A subalpine to truly alpine species, it is a sure-footed climber commonly seen on sheer rock faces, near-vertical cliffs and icy passages. The mountain goat ( Oreamnos americanus), also known as the Rocky Mountain goat, is a cloven-footed mammal that is endemic to the remote and rugged mountainous areas of western North America.

The winter Adventure Pack debuted collaborations with NoDa Brewing Company of Charlotte, NC Sun King Brewery of Indianapolis, IN Surly Brewing Company of Minneapolis, MN Thunder Road Brewing Company, from Australia and Wicked Weed Brewing of Asheville, NC. The best beers were selected for inclusion in the Family Member Beer Project. Teams of non-brewers were paired with a brewer and each designed and brewed a beer. The summer offering will be the Family Member Beer Project. It will contain beers that won an internal competition among employees at the brewery. The spring pack, called Basecamp One-Offs, is now in the market and includes a delicious Pear Lager, the Five Apostles Saison, Golden Stag Blended Beer, and Black Rock Milk Stout. The first one, the Collaboration Sampler, arrived this winter and has proven quite popular. This year, West Virginia receives all the seasonal, specialty 12-packs in the Adventure Pack series. Adventure Packs add variety Photo courtesy of Devils Backbone Brewing Company It’s also possible that an occasional limited-release specialty product (something high-gravity or barrel aged) could find its way into the state for a promotion, beer festival, or similar event-but due to state beer registration requirements, these occurrences will be rare.

Over the past few months, DBBC has been reorganizing its line up a bit, putting more of its brews in cans, developing new one-offs, and dividing its offerings into new groupings. When it entered the state last October, DBBC only brought in four brands. Over the past few months, however, DBBC Adventure Packs, Cran-Gose and new canned packages have added greatly to the variety the brewery sells in WV. While the brewery will soon be adding a full-time sales representative here, Coe wants to get a head start on telling their story and getting more people tasting the beer. Patrons are enjoying Risen Brown Ale, a DBBC collaboration with Surly Brewing Company.Ĭoe is spending a good bit of time in West Virginia getting to know his wholesalers and familiarizing himself with the market. Devils Backbone pub crawl hits the Copper Pint Pub in downtown Charleston. ![]() ![]() Brian Coe, Sales Manager for Devils Backbone Brewing Company, led a Charleston, WV, pub crawl to highlight the variety of DBBC beer now available in the market.ĭevils Backbone Brewing Company (DBBC) is beefing up its commitment to the West Virginia market. The state is definitely seeing more Devils Backbone beer-variety that will soon grow even wider-and seeing greater promotional support too.Ī recent pub crawl in Charleston proved that you can already find at least seven types of Devils Backbone beer on draught in the city’s downtown bars and nightclubs. Brian Coe, Territory Sales Manager for Devil’s Backbone Brewing Company, who led the crawl, also made some very encouraging comments on DBBC’s commitment to supply beer to the state. The price level is quite standard for Chelsea, so expect to pay around $20 for a cocktail.If you haven't been eating tacos on Tuesdays, then you've been doing things wrong.

French Montana blessed partygoers at Tao Downtown in New York on Tuesday night (Aug. The club is located one stair down and it’s so intimate and dark, it almost feels like a speak-easy. ![]() A lot of people don’t even know there’s a nightclub, as it is tucked away in the corner of the huge Tao complex, away from the dining area. There’s a vegetarian menu also available. Now please note that it’s the nightclub and not the restaurant/lounge I’m talking about. The chef’s tasting menu is a whopping 310 per person 480 per person with the wine pairing. I think you can say that Tao is good looks without the attitude. ![]() Not because the club is full of old cougars, but because it’s a really cool place with a non-pretentious, yet super-chic vibe that I haven’t found at any other place in this part of the city. However, the nightclub at Tao Downtown is an exception. Tucked away within the grandeur of Tao Downtown’s restaurant is a hidden gem and in the know oasis called Tao Downtown Nightclub. Clubbing in Chelsea is fun when you are in your 20s, but nowadays, I feel too old for most of the venues. Senior Director New York - Connecticut at TAO Group. ![]() This is usually referred to as ICEO I C E O, meaning the C C ollector- E E mitter current with the base terminal O O pen (i.e., no base current). Ideally, the corresponding collector current would be 0 but a small leakage current occurs. The extracted device model indicates that, with further device fabrication technique development, Johnson's figure of merit (JFOM) of GaN/InGaN HBTs can be as high as 5 THz V. The off-state (or leakage) current of ATS-FET is commonly determined by the ultrahigh resistance of the TS, leading to a further decrease of I D to a lower level of 1 × 10 13 A m 1. The bottom curve results when IB 0 I B 0. Recombination current paths in GaN/InGaN HBTs are studied and small-signal equivalent circuits are developed. The maximum leakage at a Tj of 150C is 5uA which would be excessive. It will be less at 3V, but not necessarily proportionally less. ![]() Assume the base current is increased 10 A per trace. At room temperature the maximum leakage is 15nA at 30V, implying a 150mV voltage. If the device is placed in a curve tracer and the resulting family of curves appears as in Figure 4.3.2 4.3. Works great for 5V and lower voltage logic. However, it turns into a zener diode at around 6.8V. For example, a 3904 type transistor will have <1pA of reverse leakage using the Base Emitter junction. The purpose is to obtain a very low leakage diode. I am currently using BC546 or 556, and KSA992 or KSC1831 transistors, they leak too. It is a common practice in precision analog electronics to use Bipolar transistors as diodes. I have issue of transistors drawing collector current when the base is at about 0.25V that is way less than the normal turn on of 0.6V to 0.7V. This paper will describe the current development status of npn GaN/InGaN HBTs grown either on sapphire or free-standing (FS) GaN substrates using optimized metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and refined HBT processing techniques. Assume we have a BJT operating at VCE 30 V C E 30 V and IC 4 I C 4 mA. I am looking for small signal BJT that has very low leakage current when the base is biased at about 0.2V. Consequently, InGaN-base III-N HBTs are promising for next-generation high-power RF III-N systems. These are tiny leakage currents (10-15 A). For III-N HBTs, npn -GaN/InGaN heterostructures provide the benefits of mitigating the poor base electrical conductivity of p-type GaN and the problematic magnesium incorporation issues.
