Kaskara

A Sudanese Kaskara Sword with scabbard
Kaskara sword and wooden handle, Tropenmuseum, Netherlands.

The kaskara is a type of traditional sword, which is characteristic of Sudan, Chad, and Eritrea.[1] The blade of the kaskara was usually about a yard long, double edged and with a spatulate tip. While most surviving examples are from the 19th century, the type is believed to have originated around the early 14th century, and may represent a localized survival of the straight, double-edged medieval Arab sword. The kaskara was worn horizontally across the back or between the upper arm and thorax. According to British Museum curator Christopher Spring, "in the central and eastern Sudan, from Chad through Darfur and across to the Red Sea province, the straight, double-edged swords known as kaskara were an essential possession of most men."

The Kendrick mass is defined by setting the mass of a chosen molecular fragment, typically CH2, to an integer value in amu (atomic mass units). It is different from the IUPAC definition, which is based on setting the mass of 12C isotope to exactly 12 amu. The Kendrick mass is often used to identify homologous compounds differing only by a number of base units in high resolution mass spectra.[1][2] This definition of mass was first suggested in 1963 by chemist Edward Kendrick,[…
