The flag of Chile consists of two equal-height horizontal bands of white and red, with a blue square the same height as the white band in the canton, which bears a white five-pointed star in its center. It was adopted on 18 October 1817. The Chilean flag is also known in Spanish as La Estrella Solitaria (The Lone Star). It has a 3:2 ratio between length and width, it is divided horizontally into two bands of equal height (the lower being red). The upper area is divided once: into a square (blue), with a single centered white star; and into a rectangle (white), whose lengths are in proportion 1:2. It is in the stars and stripes flag family. The star represents Venus, significant to the count…

The flag of Texas, also known as the Lone Star Flag, is the official flag of the U.S. state of Texas. Along with the flag of Hawaii, it is one of two state flags to have previously served as a national flag of an independent country. The actual designer of the flag is unknown. Some historians and the Texas Legislature in 1989 claim that Charles B. Stewart of Montgomery, Texas, is either the designer of the flag or drew the image used by the Third Congress when enacting the legislation adopting the flag. In 2001, the North American Vexillological Association surveyed its members on the designs of the 72 U.S. state, territorial, and Canadian provincial flags and ranked the Texas flag second,…

A national flag is a one that represents and symbolizes a country or nation-state. Flags—and the related (royal) standards, ensigns, banners, and pennons/pennants—come in many shapes and designs, which often indicate something about what the flag represents, but generally national flags are rectangular or sometimes square-shaped. Common design elements of flags include shapes as charges – such as crescent moons, crosses, stars, stripes, and suns – layout elements such as including a canton (a rectangle with a distinct design, such as another national flag), and the overall shape of a flag, such as the aspect ratio of a rectangular flag—whether the flag is square or rectangle, and how wide i…

Microalgal colony blot: A simple and rapid method for direct detection of recombinant protein production in microalgae colonies.. Microalgae have emerged as a versatile biotechnological platform, promising to become an efficient source of commodities such as food, feed, and biofuels, but these organisms have also sparked profound scientific and commercial interest for their potential in producing high-value recombinant proteins. Recombinant gene expression is highly dependent on the loci in which the transgene integrates, and in green algae transgenes integrate randomly into the nuclear genome, mostly through non homologous end joining. Therefore, recombinant gene expression varies greatly…

The flags of the Confederate States of America have a history of three successive designs during the American Civil War. The flags were known as the "Stars and Bars", used from 1861 to 1863; the "Stainless Banner", used from 1863 to 1865; and the "Blood-Stained Banner", used in 1865 shortly before the Confederacy's dissolution. A rejected national flag design was also used as a battle flag by the Confederate Army and featured in the "Stainless Banner" and "Blood-Stained Banner" designs. Although this design was never a national flag, it is the most commonly-recognized symbol of the Confederacy. Following the end of the American Civil War, private and official use of the Confederate flags, p…
