Two myxozoan species were observed in the kidney of topsmelt, Atherinops affinis , during a survey of parasites of estuarine fishes in the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve, California. Fish collected on 3 dates in 2012 and 2013 were sectioned and examined histologically. Large extrasporogonic stages occurred in the renal interstitium of several fish from the first 2 collections (5/8, 11/20, respe...

The production of shallots can still be increased through technical improvements in cultivation, such as the application organic fertilizers and eruption Mount Merapi (volcanic ash). Organic have a significant role improving chemical biological properties soil do not negative impact on environment, although nutrient content manure is high that artificial fertilizers. This study aims to determin...

DALE, V. H. 1989. Wind dispersed seeds and plant recovery on the Mount St. Helens debris avalanche. Can. J. Bot. 67: 1434-1441. Seed dispersal and plant establishment were monitored for 4 years on the debris avalanche created by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. The number of plants on the deposit increased over time to a high of almost 2 plants/m 2 by 1983. The number of species per 250-m...

PURPOSE To image the posterior zonular attachment site by using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). METHODS A custom-made device was designed to mount human cadaveric lenses, with the zonule, ciliary body, and sclera attached, inside an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). The mount was designed to allow radial stretching to enhance exposure of the accommodation a...

We used ground-penetrating radar (GPR), GPS and glaciochemistry to evaluate melt regimes and ice depths, important variables for mass-balance and ice-volume studies, of Upper Yentna Glacier, Upper Kahiltna Glacier and the Mount Hunter ice divide, Alaska. We show the wet, percolation and dry snow zones located below 2700ma.s.l., at 2700 to 3900ma.s.l. and above 3900ma.s.l., respectively. We succ...

OVER the last several years the Department of Chemical Engineering of Monash University has been studying the general problem of mineral beneficiation of cobalt minerals. As part of the investigation, samples were obtained from the cobalt-mineralized area around Mount Cobalt, which is situated some 11o km south of Cloncurry in north-west Queensland, Australia. The geology of the area has been d...
