The scleral spur and scleral roll together form a fibrous hoop which may be detached from adjacent structures as a unit. Tensile tests of the spur-roll resemble reported data on sclera. It is proposed that the circular structure of the spur-roll prevents action of the meridional portion of the ciliary muscle on the trabecular meshwork from collapsing the canal of Schlemm.

In this paper the safety of a double-dike system (or twin dikes) is assessed. Such consist two parallel lines flood defences. During storms combined strength defences must prevent flooding hinterland. A culvert can be implemented for tidal exchange sea water to enable new land-uses in area between dikes such as aquaculture, saline agriculture, salt marsh restoration and clay extraction. We deve...

Introduction: A wide variety of morphologic features representing a range of eruption styles has been documented on the Moon [e.g., 1-2]. We have characterized the nature of numerous steep-sided domes, small shields, cones, dark halo craters of internal origin, dark mantle deposits, linear rille-related deposits, and sinuous rille-related deposits on the Moon using Clementine multis-pectral, Ap...

New geologic mapping reveals that Artemis, a unique 2400-km-diameter feature on Venus, is much larger than previously recognized, including a wide outer trough (>5000 km diameter), a radial dike swarm (12,000 km diameter), and a concentric wrinkle ridge suite (13,000 km diameter). Artemis’s evolution included formation of its interior and chasma, accompanied by lateral propagation of radial dik...

The rate and duration of apple fruit growth, cell division, and cell expansion, were considered in relation to within-tree factors affecting them. Fruit size at harvest was found to be related to the position of fruit on the spur, seed number, spur size, number of fruits set on the spur, and the date of flowering. The position of fruit on the spur, and spur size, were related to blossom size, b...

background: ticks are obligate blood feeders that parasitize a wide variety of animals. hyalomma aegyptium, parasitize tortoises and other small wild life and livestock. this study was carried out to determine spur-thighed tortoise (testudo graeca) infestation to h. ageyptium in urmia region west azerbaijan of iran. methods: the study was carried out over a 16 month period from the spring of 20...

application of structures of flow pattern modification is one of the erosion control methods in bends. triangular vanes are among these structures which provide less scour depth compared to the other techniques such as spur dike. since little information on erosion and sedimentation pattern around triangular vanes are available, this study was conducted to study the effect of structure effectiv...

The role of petal spurs and specialized pollinator interactions has been studied since Darwin. Aquilegia petal spurs exhibit striking size and shape diversity, correlated with specialized pollinators ranging from bees to hawkmoths in a textbook example of adaptive radiation. Despite the evolutionary significance of spur length, remarkably little is known about Aquilegia spur morphogenesis and i...

We demonstrate that a recent dike intrusion probably triggered a slow fault-slip event (SSE) on Kilauea volcano's mobile south flank. Our analysis combined models of Advanced Land Observing Satellite interferometric dike-intrusion displacement maps with continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) displacement vectors to show that deformation nearly identical to four previous SSEs at Kilauea occu...
