This study demonstrates that elevated [CO(2)] has profound effects on cell division and expansion in developing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaves and on the quantitative integration of these processes in whole-leaf growth kinetics, anatomy, and carbon content. The expression of these effects, however, is modified by intrinsic factors related to genetic makeup and leaf position, and also by ex...

To reconstruct a surface of an object from a given series of cross-sectional contours, it is necessary to decide between which contours surface patches should be generated. Contemporary methods use only local information between consecutive contours and do not consider global information such as the topology of an object. This paper presents error detection and correction in surface reconstruct...

BACKGROUND Anatomy has always been considered as an essential basis for clinical sciences. In recent decades there has been an increased trend towards incorporation of clinical problems in the teaching of anatomy. To promote clinical knowledge clinico-anatomical conferences have been conducted in our department for the last five years. This study has been undertaken to determine perception of m...

OBJECTIVE This study analyzed the prevalence of work-related computer-user musculoskeletal discomforts, personal and computer-related risk factors.

A majority of the textbooks in histology and microscopic anatomy have been prepared for medical students with an emphasis upon human material. Aside from the German handbooks the're is really no comparative histology available. It is a pleasure, therefore, to find a readable exposition in English of the microscopic anatomy of forms other than man. A series of 167 quite adequate illustrations ma...
