The most familiar of these is probably the presence of calcium (Ca 2+) and magnesium (Mg 2+) that interfere with the cleaning action of soap, and can form hard sulfate and soft carbonate deposits in water heaters or boilers. [13] Hard water may be softened to remove these ions. The softening process often substitutes sodium cations. [14]
The rainbow bee-eater is the only species of Meropidae found in Australia and is monotypic. [2] [3] Its closest relative is most likely the olive bee-eater (Merops superciliosus) of southern and eastern Africa, [3] but molecular phylogenetic analysis places the rainbow bee-eater as closest relative with the European bee-eater (M. apiaster).

Engine changes consisted of an increase in stroke by 2 mm, enlarging displacement to 1,340 cc (82 cu in). The compression ratio was boosted from 11:1 to 12.5:1 and the cylinder head was made more compact and was given lighter titanium valves, saving 14.1 g (0.50 oz) and 11.7 g (0.41 oz) on each intake and exhaust valve, respectively.
The idealized Diesel cycle assumes an ideal gas and ignores combustion chemistry, exhaust-and recharge procedures and simply follows four distinct processes: 1→2 : isentropic compression of the fluid (blue) 2→3 : constant pressure heating (red) 3→4 : isentropic expansion (yellow) 4→1 : constant volume cooling (green) [1]
