Insularity also affects clutch size, with Great Tits on offshore islands laying smaller clutches with larger eggs than mainland birds.

In mathematics, a building ( also Tits building, Bruhat – Tits building, named after François Bruhat and Jacques Tits ) is a combinatorial and geometric structure which simultaneously generalizes certain aspects of flag manifolds, finite projective planes, and Riemannian symmetric spaces.

Initially introduced by Jacques Tits as a means to understand the structure of exceptional groups of Lie type, the theory has also been used to study the geometry and topology of homogeneous spaces of p-adic Lie groups and their discrete subgroups of symmetries, in the same way that trees have been used to study free groups.

Iwahori – Matsumoto, Borel – Tits and Bruhat – Tits demonstrated that in analogy with Tits ' construction of spherical buildings, affine buildings can also be constructed from certain groups, namely, reductive algebraic groups over a local non-Archimedean field.

Tits also proved that every time a building is described by a BN pair in a group, then in almost all cases the automorphisms of the building correspond to automorphisms of the group ( see ).

He also is blackmailed by a parole officer he calls Mucho, after she describes herself as " Mucho Hair, Mucho Tits ," and by Mel's old boyfriend, Jeff, now an ex-con.

Derivation and structure algebras also form part of Tits ' construction of the Freudenthal magic square.

During the 1970s Rivers worked closely with Diana Molinari and Michel Auder on many video tape projects, including the infamous Tits, and also worked in neon.

They were invented by the mathematician Jacques Tits, and are also sometimes known as Tits systems.

They also include the Varied and probably the White-fronted Tit ( which were sometimes separated in Sittiparus ), and possibly the White-browed and Caspian Tits.

Variations in the exploratory behaviour of Great Tits ( Parus major ) have been found to be linked with a gene orthologous to the human gene DRD4 ( Dopamine receptor D4 ) which is known to be associated with novelty-seeking behaviour.

The Critical Mass rides have inspired a number of other bicycle movements, that range from political movements to the " Critical Tits " ride during the yearly Burning Man festival.

Tits have settled North America twice, probably at some time during the Early-Mid Pliocene.

A few vagrant Crested Tits have been seen in England.

The results of Tits on determination of a group by its building have deep connections with rigidity theorems of George Mostow and Grigory Margulis, and with Margulis arithmeticity.

The group < sup > 2 </ sup > F < sub > 4 </ sub >( 2 ) is a group of Lie type and has a BN pair, but the Tits group itself does not have a BN pair.

Analogues of the Tits alternative have been proved for many other classes of groups, such as fundamental groups of 2-dimensional simplicial complexes of non-positive curvature.

Blue Tits, Great Tits and Tree Sparrows have been shown to prefer woodcrete boxes to wooden.

She wrote and drew short stories for Wimmen's Comix and many other anthologies, including Tits & Clits Comix, Wet Satin, and Anarchy Comics.

Plumage characteristics include the lack of a pale wing panel ( formed by pale edges to the secondary feathers in the Willow Tit ), the Marsh Tit's glossier black cap and smaller black ' bib ', although none of these is ' completely reliable '; for example, juvenile Marsh Tits can show a pale wing panel.

The study concluded that damage to the shrub layer, caused by overgrazing by deer, for example, may make woodland less suitable for Marsh Tits.

Marsh Tits are monogamous and often pair for life ; one pair stayed together for six years.

The Blue Tit will nest in any suitable hole in a tree, wall, or stump, or an artificial nest box, often competing with House Sparrows or Great Tits for the site.

Communication with other Blue Tits is the most important motivation for the use of calls.

The Handbook of the Birds of the World volume treating the Parus species went for the more traditional classification, treating the Turkestan Tit as a separate species but retaining the Japanese and Cinereous Tits with the Great Tit, a move that has not been without criticism.

The Eurasian Sparrowhawk is a predator of Great Tits, with the young from second broods being at higher risk partly because of the hawk ’ s greater need for food for its own developing young.

By treating these conditions as axioms for a class of simplicial complexes, Tits arrived at his first definition of a building.

Their most successful book to date, What Not to Wear, was published in 2002 which displayed striking chapters such as " Big Tits ", " No Tits " and " Big Bum " with fashion advice for each category.

It featured brash chapter headings such as " Big Tits ", " No Tits ", " Big Bum " and " Saddlebags " with style advice for each category.

In woodland, Eurasian Sparrowhawks account for the deaths of a third of all young Great Tits ; the two alarm calls given by Great Tits when mobbing a predator, and when fleeing from a nearby hawk, are within the optimum hearing range of both prey and predator ; however, the high-pitched alarm call given when a distant flying Eurasian Sparrowhawk is seen " can only be heard well by the tit.

As commanding general in Korea, Ridgway gained the nickname " Old Iron Tits " for his habit of wearing hand grenades attached to his load-bearing equipment at chest level.

Russo claims that the name " Total Nonstop Action " came from him and that the original concept was, as they were exclusive to pay per view, to be an edgier product than WWE ; the initials of the company " TNA " being a play on " T & A ", short for " Tits and Ass ".

The Gardens provides homes for a number of birds, including Great Tits, Robins, Magpies, and Blackbirds.

Most burrow-nesting birds excavate their own burrows, but some use those excavated by other species ; Burrowing Owls, for example, sometimes use the burrows of prairie dogs, ground squirrels, badgers or tortoises, China's endemic White-browed Tits use the holes of ground-nesting rodents and Common Kingfishers occasionally nest in rabbit burrows.

*' Tits oot for the lads ' ( tag line of Viz character Sid the Sexist ) becomes ' Remove your decollétage from its corsetry for the delectation of the gentlemen present '

Great Tits are primarily insectivorous in the summer, feeding on insects and spiders which they capture by foliage gleaning.

Great Tits combine dietary versatility with a considerable amount of intelligence and the ability to solve problems with insight learning, that is to solve a problem through insight rather than trial and error.

Most Marsh Tits stay in their breeding territories year-round ; presumably this is related to their food-storing strategy.

Marsh Tits do not usually excavate their own nest holes, though they may enlarge the hollow, carrying the chips to a distance before dropping them.

In autumn and winter, when insect prey becomes scarcer, Great Tits add berries and seeds to their diet.

In sites where the numbers of Willow and Crested Tits was artificially reduced, Goldcrests and Coal Tits extended their foraging to include the inner canopy, but did not do so where the larger tits were retained.

These lively songbirds are mainly solitary but will move around actively in small, loose flocks of their own species as well as Coal Tits and Eurasian Nuthatches.

On February 26, 2012, Sebastien Grainger announced on his Twitter account that Bad Tits had changed their name to Deserts.

Moreover, the exceptions, the sporadic groups, share many properties with the finite groups of Lie type, and in particular, can be constructed and characterized based on their geometry in the sense of Tits.

T & A had Trish Stratus as their team manager with their name being a pun on the initials of the two wrestlers and the slang expression " T & A " ( referring to Tits and Ass ), spawning numerous coarse jokes on fan's signs and from commentator Jerry Lawler in reference to the buxom Trish Stratus.

Records of the last eight species had been considered only outside their " normal " British range ( e. g. Crested Tits outside Scotland, and Red Kites outside Wales ).

* A small influx of Long-tailed Tits of the white-headed northern race caudatus in the early part of the year gave many British birders their first opportunity to observe this form in Britain.
