The spermiogenesis of Mytilus edulis (a marine mussel) has
been studied, employing techniques of light and electron microscopy
and cytochemical preparations. The observations trace the development
of the acrosomal complex, the nucleus, the mitochondrial
middle-piece, and the flagellum.
In early spermatids numerous membrane-bounded proacrosomal
vesicles arise from several Golgi complexes...
Primary monolayer cultures of chick renal epithelial cells
grown on plastic coverslips were reversibly dissociated with the
chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The cellular
responses during dissociation and reaggregation in Hank's balanced
salt solution (BSS) were observed with phase optics and recorded
by time-lapse cinemicrography.
The epithelial cells grow as...
The efficiency of powdered corncob as a tablet disintegrating
agent was compared to that of a number of wood products and to
starch, the most popular agent used today. Corncob appeared to
be superior in its disintegrating effectiveness.
The optimum particle size, at which powdered corncob produced
its best disintegrating...
Sand dunes are found along the coasts of most of the large land
masses of the world. Because of their proximity to man and his
activities, the maritime sand dunes of Europe, particularly Germany,
France, Holland and Scandinavia, have the longest history of stabilization
activities and botanical investigation. There are...
Three coleopterous predators associated with the Douglas-fir
beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins in a second growth
forest of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugae menziesii (Mirb. ) Franco)
in western Oregon are Enoclerus sphegeus Fabriciup, E, lecontei
Wolcott, and Thanasirnus undatulus Say. A study was undertaken
with the following objectives: (1) to determine the diurnal...
