Centipedegrass (Eremochloa ophiuroides) is a warm season lawn grass. It is a thick sod forming grass that spreads by stolons, and is medium to light green colored. It has a coarse texture with short upright seedhead stems that grow to about 3-5 inches.


Centipedegrass is a low maintenance grass.[1] It requires infrequent mowing.[2] Centipedegrass has medium shade tolerance and limited traffic tolerance.[3]


Centipedegrass is shallow rooted[4] and has poor drought tolerance.[5] During summer months soil moisture should be monitored. Centipede grass should only be watered when stressed, and only when the soil can be watered four to six inches.[6]


Centipedegrass survives in mild cold temperatures as long as there aren’t several hard freezes since it doesn’t go into a true dormancy. With light freezes it will turn brown but recover and re-green as the temperature rises.


Centipedegrass does well in sandy and acidic soils.[7] Centipede grass has low fertilization requirements. Too much nitrogen encourages the stolons to grow above the soil instead of on the soil which then reduces its cold and drought tolerance.


When healthy, this full sun and slightly shade tolerant grass is aggressive enough to choke out weeds and other grasses.


Centipedegrass seed is native to Southern China and was introduced to the United States in 1916.[8] It has since become one of the common grasses in the southeastern states and Hawai'i.


Centipede can also be considered a weed.[9]

Displaying single band from multi-band raster using QGIS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 1 How can I extract a single band from multi-band raster in QGIS? I have an remote sensed image which has 6 bands (including NDVI band), I want to display each band separately, but have no idea how to do. I have seen some questions similar here but none worked for me. The original image (has 6 bands) is: I want to display the band 6 which should be like this: But I tried gdal_translate, and couldn't get the correct result.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
