Mid-substance fibrocartilage develops in bovine deep flexor tendon at the point where the tendon wraps under sesamoid bones of the foot and receives transverse compressive loading during locomotion. Fibrocartilage extends several millimeters into the tendon at this location and the proteoglycan-rich tissue stains intensely with Alcian blue. Using histochemical techniques we demonstrate the pres...

This paper investigates a special type of recurrent expressions, lexical bundles, defined as a sequence of three or more words that co-occur frequently in a particular register (Biber et al., 1999). Considering the importance of this group of multi-word sequences in academic prose, this study explores the forms and syntactic structures of three- and four-word bundles in English abstracts writte...

Using digital image processing and pattern recognition techniques, a supervised classification procedure of bamboo vascular bundles was developed and tested on polished cross sections of bamboo culms from four different species. Results obtained for same species samples were similar and were consistent with visual observations.

A case of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome type A with coexisting ipsilateral bundle branch block is presented. The diagnosis was suspected because of subtle electrocardiographic changes and was confirmed at electrophysiological study. Necropsy showed a vascular anomaly of the coronary sinus that contained bundles ofmyocardial muscle which crossed the atrioventricular ring at a site that was cons...

This study presents ultrastructural confirmation of the embolic method of producing an ischemic lesion. The embolic method was shown to produce more advanced parenchymal changes than those reported for the same postocclusion period following vascular clipping. With this method there was less alteration in the morphological intergrity of occluded extraparenchymatous areas of the arterial bed, es...

Calamus is a climbing palm marked by considerable internodal extension and limited stem-thickening growth, but with a surprisingly discontinuous axial vascular system. Stem bundles end blindly in a basipetal direction and are connected to each other only by narrow and late-developing transverse commissures. Vascular connection via leaf traces between stem and leaf is made over about nine plasto...

DESPITE ITS SMALL MASS, the renal inner medulla plays a pivotal role in homeostasis. It adjusts the solute, water, and proton content of the final urine to match the excretory needs of the organism. The large glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed by highflow, low-gradient processing in the proximal nephron along with key transport steps that occur within the outer medulla. In combination, they prot...

connor et al. (2008) mention “specifying textual requirements of genres” (p.12) as one of the reasons which have motivated researchers in the analysis of writing. members of each genre should be able to produce and retrieve these textual requirements appropriately to be considered communicatively proficient. one of the textual requirements of genres is regularities of specific forms and content...

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Anthurium is the largest genus of Araceae, with 950 species distributed in the neotropics. Despite the great diversity of the genus, the knowledge of its floral vasculature is based on observations in only two species, viz. A. denudatum and A. lhotzkyanum, with remarkable variation in vascular carpellary supply: carpels are either vascularized by ventral bundles alone or b...
