    Effect of colony size and surrounding substrate on corals experiencing a mild bleaching event on Heron Island reef flat (southern Great Barrier Reef, Australia)

    In January–May 2006, Heron Island in the Great Barrier Reef experienced a mild bleaching event. The effect of colony size, morphology and surrounding substrate on the extent of bleaching was explored. In contr...

    Acquisition of symbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium) by juveniles of the coral Acropora longicyathus

    Scleractinian corals may acquire Symbiodinium from their parents (vertically) or from the environment (horizontally). In the present study, adult colonies of the coral Acropora longicyathus from One Tree Island (...

    Superior gluteal nerve: safe area in hip surgery

    Injuries to the superior gluteal nerve are very bad complications in hip surgery. An exact knowledge of its course may be helpful in avoiding such problems. Nineteen half pelvises from ten male and female adul...

    The axillopectoral muscle (of Langer) report of three cases

    Abstract The axillopectoral muscle, usually called Langer’s axillary arch instead of Langer’s arm arch, is a supernumerary muscle and is the principal anatomic variation of the axilla. Three cases of the muscl...

    Water Wave Modeling Using a Boundary Element Method with Overhauser Spline Elements

    A BEM system for modeling nonlinear, periodic water waves in the physical space has been developed. The system uses Overhauser elements to eliminate discontinuities of the slope on the water surface. It is sho...

    Ecological aspects of thermoregulation at high altitudes: the case of andean Liolaemus lizards in northern Chile

    We document activity field temperatures, daily activity patterns, and extent of thermoregulation in four species of Liolaemus lizards inhabiting at high altitude (above 3500 m) in the Andes of northern Chile. The...

    Development of Overhauser Splines as Boundary Elements

    The boundary element method (BEM) is being more and more routinely used by engineers to solve problems in both potential theory and elasticity. BEM is a numerical technique which ideally requires only a descri...
