Weeping Forms of Elm

ELM physics and ELM mitigation in ITER

Edge Localised Modes are characteristic of the high performance, H-mode plasmas that are required for the attainment of Q = 10/500MW fusion power in the first phase of ITER operation. The energy released by a type I ELM, in good confinement plasmas, is typically 510% of the plasma stored energy; with low collisionality plasmas at the upper end of the range. Dimensional analysis, experiment and ...

Elm trees and elm leaf beetles: patterns of herbivory

New elm hopes

those of Brazil and Congo, and their biological diversity is unique. But logging is putting the forest ecosystems under unprecedented pressure — between 1990 and 2005, Indonesia lost 28 million hectares of forest, most of it virgin forest. The government has banned the export of unprocessed logs from the country but timber is regularly smuggled out via Malaysia and Singapore for processing in o...

Reconstruction of 3D Digital Image of Weeping for Sythia Pollen

Confocal microscopy, which is a major advance upon normal light microscopy, has been used in a number of scientific fields. By confocal microscopy techniques, cells and tissues can be visualized deeply, and three-dimensional images created. Compared with conventional microscopes, confocal microscope improves the resolution of images by eliminating out-of-focus light. Moreover, confocal microsco...

Transcriptional and Hormonal Regulation of Weeping Trait in Salix matsudana

Salix matsudana is a large and rapidly-growing tree, with erect or spreading branchlets (upright willow). However, S. matsudana var. pseudomatsudana is one of the varietas, with pendulous branchlets (weeping willow). It has high ornamental value for its graceful pendulous branches. In order to study the molecular basis for this weeping trait, leaves and stems collected at different developmenta...
