Centre Pivots and Lateral Moves in the Australian Cotton Industry Centre Pivots and Lateral Moves (CP&LMs) or overhead irrigation systems have been successfully installed in every cotton growing district in Australia. This industry now has the capacity to broaden the uptake of this irrigation technology, and benefit from its simplicity and improved water use efficiency while moving away from fa...

Meloidoderita polygoni n. sp. is described and illustrated from roots of smartweed (Polygonum hydropiperoides) from Beltsville, Maryland. This new species is similar to M. kirjanovae but differs especially in having larger spines on the cystoid bodies, females with the anus much closer to the vulva, and more posterior excretory pore. M. polygoni differs from M. safrica particularly in having fe...

Blind Mexican cave fish (Astyanax fasciatus) are able to sense detailed information about objects by gliding alongside them and sensing changes in the flow field around their body using their lateral line sensory system. Hence the fish are able to build hydrodynamic images of their surroundings. This study measured the flow fields around blind cave fish using particle image velocimetry (PIV) as...

Recent findings have demonstrated that attention to visual events engages the lateral premotor cortex even in the absence of motor planning. Here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to explore acoustically triggered activations within the lateral premotor cortex. Temporal (when), object-related (what), and spatial (where) auditory patterns were to be monitored for violations in a ser...

The heart begins simply as a bilateral field within the lateral plate mesoderm (Figure 1.1, Table 1.1). As the early embryo undergoes formation of the gut-tube, these bilateral fields migrate toward the midline, where the cranial-most aspect of the fields will fuse ventrally to form the outer curvature of the heart tube.1 These fields will continue to migrate together, with more of the heart fi...

the normal and lateral line cycloid scales of a cyprinid fish; alburnoides bipunctatus (blotch, 1782) have been subjected to sem to study their detailed structure. it shows the general architectural pattern of a cycloid cyprinid scale. the focus of the scale is clear and sharp located in the anterior field. circuli are observed in all fields. primary radii which originate from very near the foc...

In gnathostomes, limb buds arise from the lateral plate mesoderm at discrete positions along the body axis. Specification of these limb-forming fields can be subdivided into several steps. The lateral plate mesoderm is regionalized into the anterior lateral plate mesoderm (ALPM; cardiac mesoderm) and the posterior lateral plate mesoderm (PLPM). Subsequently, Hox genes appear in a nested fashion...
