Rod Saunders lost his hearing in a car accident 1976. Nearly two years later, Graeme Clark, an Australian ear, nose, and throat surgeon, Brian Pyman, surgeon assisting him, inserted into Saunders’s auditory canal prototype of multichannel cochlear implant. The implant was designed to wirelessly connect external microphone speech-processing unit. Several weeks came back the hospital determine if...

I t was pointed out by Osterhout I that substances which increase the electrical conductivity of tissues are antagonized by those which decrease it. An illustration of this is seen in antagonism between NaC1 (which increases conductivity) and Na taurocholate ~ (which decreases it). This case has additional interest as an example of antagonism between anions as well as of antagonism between orga...

We conducted a study of the patterns and dynamics of oxidized fatty acid derivatives (oxylipins) in potato leaves infected with the late-blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Two 18-carbon divinyl ether fatty acids, colneleic acid and colnelenic acid, accumulated during disease development. To date, there are no reports that such compounds have been detected in higher plants. The divinyl ethe...

We report new skeletal elements pertaining to the same individual which represents the holotype of Australovenator wintonensis, from the 'Matilda Site' in the Winton Formation (Upper Cretaceous) of western Queensland. The discovery of these new elements means that the hind limb of Australovenator is now the most completely understood hind limb among Neovenatoridae. The new hind limb elements in...

Bacteriol. 91:213-220. 1966.-Virus attachment of human cytomegalovirus to human embryo lung fibroblasts was found to be temperature-independent, from 4 to 37 C. Prolonged incubation at 4 C, however, resulted in inactivation of a hi...

Yucca starch (Manihot esculenta Crantz) plays several important roles in agroecological agriculture the tropics. It is an inexpensive source of carbohydrates high nutritional quality and easily accessible, if preserved stored. The process artisanal extraction carried out Latin America a rudimentary impractical way, with water raw material wasted, which generates losses ecological problems. This...
