Venus Cloud Properties from Venus Express VIRTIS Observations

Near-infrared spectra from the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS) on Venus Express have been used to investigate the vertical structure and global distribution of cloud properties on Venus. The spectral range covered by VIRTIS is sensitive on the nightside to absorption by the lower and middle cloud layers, which are back-lit by radiation from the lower atmosphere and su...

Social familiarity affects Diana monkey (Cercopithecus diana diana) alarm call responses in habitat-specific ways.

Male Diana monkeys produce loud and acoustically distinct alarm calls to leopards and eagles that propagate over long distances, much beyond the immediate group. Calling is often contagious, with neighbouring males responding to each other's calls, indicating that harem males communicate both to local group members and distant competitors. Here, we tested whether male Diana monkeys responding t...

Appearance of plica mediana dorsalis during epidurography.

To the Editor: The plica mediana dorsalis (PMD) is thought to be a band of connective tissue, which divides the epidural space at the dorsal midline. Existence of the PMD has been controversial since its first description in 1963 (1). The PMD has been regarded as a potential cause for unilateral epidural blockade (2, 3). For purpose of discussion, we present a case of a patient who presented fo...

Diana and Selected Applications *

New developments concerning the extension of the Feynman diagram analyzer DIANA are presented. We discuss new graphics facilities, different approaches to automation of momenta distribution and parallel processing facilities. Furthermore applications to t ¯ t production and Bhabha scattering are shortly discussed. The project called DIANA (DIagram ANA-lyzer)[1] for the evaluation of Feynman dia...
