The features of paca epididymis, based on its appearance in light microscope, is described in this paper. The cellular population of the epithelial lining comprises principal cells, basal cells, apical cells, narrows cells, and hallo cells. The epididymis is divided in five distinct and continuous regions, Zone I, or initial segment, and zone II, are both localized into the head. Zone III compr...

Interspecific hybridization may enhance the capacity of populations to adapt to changing environments, and has practical implications for reforestation. We use genome-wide estimates of admixture and phenotypic traits for trees in a common garden to examine the extent and direction of gene flow across a Picea hybrid zone, testing assumptions of the bounded hybrid superiority and tension zone mod...

We developed a method for reconstructing tree crown volume from a set of eight photographs taken from the N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE and SW. This photographic method of reconstruction includes three steps. First, canopy height and diameter are estimated from each image from the location of the topmost, rightmost and leftmost vegetated pixel; second, a rectangular bounding box around the tree is con...

To investigate and understand basic properties of non-radial solar p-modes with high wave numbers l, it is sufficient to consider only the outer layers of the sun. As an atmosphere, the upper part of the convection zone may be approximated by a plane layer with constant gravity. A simple standard model is a polytropic convection zone with an overlying isothermal atmosphere. In this case, the ad...

Airspeed and turbulence measurements were collected in a full-scale swine grower facility. Data were collected in three horizontal planes at eight axial locations from the inlet sidewall. Three inlet slot heights (20, 40, and 60 mm) and two fan stages resulted in six ventilating conditions investigated. The resulting 2x3 x 8 factorial experiment showed that fan stage, inlet height, and axial po...

In matrix acidizing operations, the main goal is increasing permeability. For production engineers, it is desirable that acid could be injected into whole [M.N.1] [amehri.gh2] pay zone. Sometimes, this pay zone has a long height and various sub-layers which have different permeability values. To prevent acid from going completely into the most permeable sub-layer, one of the useful techniques i...

This paper describes how high-precision DEMs are obtained over the Wadden Sea using the AeS-1 airborne interferometric radar. The Wadden Sea is an intertidal zone along the coast which has height variations less than 5 m over 30 km and is free of vegetation. The resulting DEM has a grid spacing of 2.5 m and an absolute height accuracy of 5 cm rms, as verified by theodolite measurements. The pap...

The nozzle shape was investigated in order to develop a high performance nozzle for pulsed Nd:YAG laser cutting, and its effect on fine cutting of thin metal plate was also discussed. In the case of 0.5mm throat diameter Laval throat nozzle with an initial expansion zone, the pressure on workpiece increased, and the straightness of gas flow was improved compared to a traditional straight throat...

BACKGROUND As patient demand increases for more natural restorations in the esthetic zone, clinicians must have the highest level of skill and knowledge to maintain or reform the interdental papilla between teeth, between implants and teeth, and between adjacent implants. To date, there are no reports that have measured the distance from the contact point to the bony crest between implants. One...
