Eriocaulon meenachilense, a new species of the family Eriocaulaceae from southern Western Ghats, India, is described and illustrated. The similar to idukkianum E. tuberiferum but differs in its short, linear-subulate, stiff leaves, solitary 6-angled peduncle, inflexed involucral bracts, eglandular petals, yellow anthers seeds.

anterior commissure, cc = corpus callosum, cp = caudate putamen, cpd = cerebral peduncle, em = external medullary lamina of thalamus, int = internal capsule, ml = medial lemniscus; fi = fimbria, fr = fasciculus retroflexus, fx = fornix, hf = hippocample fissure; mtt = mammilothalmic tract; sm = stria medularis, vhc = ventral hippocampal commissure.

A new species of the genus Munida Leach, 1820, is described and illustrated based on a single specimen from the deep-sea hydrothermal area in the southwestern Indian Ocean. Munida manqingae sp. nov. closely resembles M. tiresias Macpherson 1994, but differs in the morphology of the carapace, basal segment of the antennular peduncles, first segment of the antennal peduncle.

A new species of Moraceae is described, illustrated and compared to its close morphological relatives. Dorstenia triseriata presents similarities with Dorstenia turnerifolia but distinguished by size of peduncle, diameter of receptacle, number of bract rows, color of marginal bracts, and by an indistinct fringe on inflorescence. A conservation assessment based on IUCN criteria determines the ne...

We consider the motions and associated flow patterns of a swimming giant danio (Danio malabaricus). Experimental flow-visualization techniques have been employed to obtain the unsteady two-dimensional velocity fields around the straight-line swimming motions and a 60 degrees turn of the fish in the centerline plane of the fish depth. A three-dimensional numerical method is also employed to pred...

A procedure is presented to fit gridded molecular properties to auxiliary basis sets (ABSs) of Hermite Gaussians, analogous to the density fitting (DF) method (Dunlap; et al. J. Chem. Phys. 1979, 71, 4993). In this procedure, the ab initio calculated properties (density, electrostatic potential, and/or electric field) are fitted via a linear- or nonlinear-least-squares procedure to auxiliary ba...

Eighteen Sarpa salpa and fifteen Dentex gibbous fish collected randomly from the artisanal catch of Benghazi landing site, eastern Libya (32°36' N 20°03' E), during fall winter 2019 were used in present study. Morphogenic features, 21 key morphometric 6 meristic parameters established for each fish. S. was fusiform with a terminal mouth, narrow caudal peduncle bifurcate fin. The body silvery wh...

UNTIL a few years ago the only worth-while operation for Parkinsonism was complete division of the lateral column of the spinal cord at the level of the second cervical segment (Oliver, I950), but arrest of tremor was obtained at the cost of weakness of the arm and leg and some sensory loss on the opposite side and, furthermore, this operation was applicable to unilateral Parkinsonism only (Oli...

Comparative studies have usually shown higher yields in conventional cropping systems (CCS) than in organic cropping systems (OCS). By utilizing a long-term field experiment on silt soil with 18 years of cropping history (1982–1999), including three OCSs and one CCS, we studied if this is true also for strawberry. The strawberry experiment was conducted in 2000–2002. The experiment had one CCS ...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the frequency and pathogenetic factors of crossed cerebellar atrophy (CCA) in adult patients with epilepsy secondary to destructive brain insults of early development. METHODS We studied 51 adult patients with epilepsy and precocious destructive lesions. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to the topographic distribution of their lesions on magnetic resonance im...
