Cover illustration. Notothenioid fishes lack swim bladders, but species live temporarily or permanently in the water column. Without swim bladder, skeletal mass becomes a key determinant of buoyancy. In this issue of the Journal of Morphology, Joseph Eastman and coauthors (pp. 841-861 10.1002/jmor.20258) quantify the degree of skeletal ossification in notothenioid fish and discuss it in phyloge...

This paper presents an interactive technique for the dense texture-based visualization of unsteady 3D flow, taking into account issues of computational efficiency and visual perception. High efficiency is achieved by a novel 3D GPU-based texture advection mechanism that implements logical 3D grid structures by physical memory in the form of 2D textures. This approach results in fast read and wr...

This study compared the performances of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) to sprinkler (SI) cool-season turf mix (CS) and warm-season (WS) turfgrass species while investigating their response different scheduling strategies. Moreover, suitability crop water stress index (CWSI) for monitoring was tested. Irrigation applied up field capacity when 30%, 50% 70% total available consumed. All paramete...

The terrestrial biosphere is subjected to a wide range of natural climatic oscillations. Best known is the El Niño-southern oscillation (ENSO) that exerts globally extensive impacts on crops and natural vegetation. A 50-year time series of ENSO events has been analysed to determine those geographical areas that are reliably impacted by ENSO events. Most areas are impacted by changes in precipit...

Molecular hydrogen is quite underabundant in damped Lyman-α systems at high redshift, when compared to the interstellar medium near the Sun. This has been interpreted as implying that the gas in damped Lyman-α systems is warm. like the nearby neutral intercloud medium, rather than cool, as in the clouds which give rise to most H I absorption in the Milky Way. Other lines of evidence suggest tha...

Considerable amounts of heat may be lost or gained through the extracorporeal circuit during hemodialysis and influence the hemodynamic stability of the dialysis patient. The effects of two levels of extracorporeal heat flux (Jtherm in W) on blood pressures and ultrafiltration-induced blood volume changes were studied in eight patients on conventional hemodialysis. Treatments were controlled au...

광질은 묘의 형태를 조절하는 중요한 환경 요인 중 하나이다. warm-white와 cool-white LED의 칩에 비율이 다른 bar type를 제작하여, 백색 광질에 따른 생육을 조사하고자 연구를 수행하였다. 오이, 토마토 및 수박의 접수와 대목의 종자를 파종하여, LED를 광원으로 하는 식물공장에서 재배하였다. 처리구는 W1C0(warm-white 단독), W1C1 (warm- white:cool-white=1:1), W3C1 (warm-white:cool-white=3:1), W5C2 (warm-white:cool-white=5:2)이다. 모든 처리구에서 재배한 묘목의 배축장이 가장 짧았으며, W1C0에서 재배된 길었다. 수박 접수, 대목, 그리고 배축장은 W1C1, W3C1, W5C2, W1C...

Predicting which ecological factors constrain species distributions is a fundamental question and critical to forecasting geographic responses global change. Darwin hypothesised that abiotic generally impose species’ high-latitude high-elevation (typically cool) range limits, whereas biotic interactions more often low-latitude/low-elevation warm) but empirical support has been mixed. Here, we c...

Rangeland plant productivity and species composition are affected by moisture availability and grazing intensity. We examined warmand cool-season grass productivity and relative distribution on grazed and ungrazed sites, receiving either natural precipitation or precipitation plus limited supplemental irrigation. The amount of additional water varied depending on rainfall during the previous we...
