The Orientale impact basin is the youngest and most well-preserved of lunar multi-ring basins. generally ring structures facies are distinctly anomalous in southwestern quadrant; outer Cordillera extends significantly outward, Outer Inner Rook mountain rings more poorly developed show characteristics, Montes Formation varies widely from its characteristics elsewhere interior. Based on gravity, ...

Quantitative models of the species-area-distance relation, based on equilibria between immigration and extinction rates, have been tested against data for birds on 52 Solomon islands. Biologically reasonable models account for 98% of the variance in species number. The data are adequate to permit determination of immigration and extinction curves and the values of seven associated parameters. T...

Oripavine is the major alkaloid of Papaver orientale. It is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of morphine alkaloids. Recently, new Papaver somniferum strains have been developed which accumulate thebaine and oripavine, but not morphine and codeine. Therefore, the chemistry of oripavine has been studied intensively to synthesize opioid pharmaceuticals such as oxymorphone, naloxone an...
