Results of computer simulation of near Earth space is looked at in a new way to understand how energy moves around the global system. It is found that in addition to a pathway of energy from the outside into the system and back again there is an internal loop which recirculates energy. These new methods will greatly improve our understanding how the whole magnetosphere system evolves and will help address evolution of processes that have space weather impacts.

images of plants, in nature or specimens, of family Bixaceae. Cochlospermum tinctorium was photographed in an ethnomedicinal garden; it has not been observed in the wild in the zone covered.
images of plants, in nature or specimens, of family Zygophyllaceae, including Balanites ("wild date" tree). Only Balanites and Tribulus terrestris are common in Central Mali.
images of plants, in nature or specimens, of the family Zingiberaceae. In Central Mali, the relevant species are Zingiber (ginger) and melegueta pepper (Aframomum). Ginger is cultivated or imported, and melegueta pepper is imported and sold as a spice or medicine.
images of plants, in nature or specimens, of family Verbenaceae. This family has been sharply reduced by the transfer of many genera to Lamiaceae (Vitex, Gmelina, Clerodendrum).
images of plants, in nature or specimens, of family Turneraceae. Recently the family Turneraceae including Tricliceras was merged into Passifloraceae in one botanical system, but some botanists reject this. Tricliceras is a weed in villages.
images of plants, in nature or specimens, of family Solanaceae. Solanum nigrum and S. americanum belong to a tighly knit group whose taxonomy is unstable. Fruits of S. incanum and green fruits of S. nigrum/americanum are toxic. Datura spp. are narcotic. Capsicum spp. are chili peppers (and bell peppers). Solanum tuberosum is cultivated potato. Cultivated tomato is Solanum lycopersicum (or Lycopersicon esculentum). Cultivated tobacco is modern Nicotiana tabacum and the more traditional Nicotiana rustica.
