The cross-rolling is a new process that results in significant evolutions in microstructure of the metallic sheets. In this study, an aluminium 1050 sheet was rolled up to 95% reduction in cross directions for ten passes. The rolled samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The rolled samples possess a high dislocation density and ultra-fin...

Sorbus torminalis (WILD SERVICE TREE) is described and illustrated. It a species relatively isolated from its relatives, but role as parental taxon of hybridogenic noted. Notes on usage, cultivation propagation are included.

The principal flows in and out of the East China Sea (ECS) are through channels penetrating the Ryukyu Ridge (Figure 1). Since ~20 Sv of Kuroshio mean flow enters and exits through two of these channels, they are especially well known: the East Taiwan Channel (sill depth 775 m) at the ridge’s southwestern end, and the Tokara Strait (sill depth 690 m) near its northeastern end [Choi et al., 2002...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare images of the retina and choroid obtained with Spectralis 1050-nm spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with and without enhanced depth imaging (EDI) to the commercially available 870-nm SD-OCT with and without EDI. METHODS Full-length 30° line scans were obtained with both 870- and 1050-nm Spectralis OCT instruments, with and w...
