Quantitative anatomical characteristics of plantation grown loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bart. ex Marsh) and their relationships to mechanical properties
The anatomical properties of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and cottonwood (Populus deltoides Barto ex. Marsh.), both from intensively managed woodlands, were quantitatively characterized using the principles of stereology. Physical and mechanical properties were also determined for each growth …

The influence of the evolution of anatomical characters on leaf hydraulic capacity
… This thesis aimed to study the effect varying anatomical characters had on plant leaf function in different taxa. Atmospheric [CO2] at the crown group age of each species sampled made it possible to link anatomical and physiological variation to the different environmental conditions ([CO2]) …

Duct-to-Duct Biliary Reconstructions and Complications in 100 Living Donor Liver Transplantation
… with peri-operative, intra-operative, and anatomical characteristics, except types of duct-to-duct procedure. Group 1 and 2 patients had higher incidence of biliary stricture than Group 3 and 4 (43.1% vs. 4.7%, P = 0.00). And Group 3 patients experienced higher incidence of bile leakage …

Mapping viability and oxygen concentration in spheroids: A noninvasive approach with EPR imaging
… spheroid embodies many of the physiological and anatomical characteristics of in vivo tumors and provides an appropriate context for investigating the phenomenon of reoxygenation and the interplay of local (O$\sb2$) and cellular viability in the response of tumors to various therapeutic regimens. …

The Ape Ecological Niche: Posture and Hand Use in Gibbons and Macaques and the Influence of Manual Skill on Cognitive Development in Apes and Humans
Apes share a distinct set of morphological and anatomical characteristics that allow us to use our arms and hands in unique ways. Apes also have relatively larger brains with similar sulcal patterning indicating there is a distinctively hominoid brain structure. These features in great apes have …

Influence of site, clone, age, and growth rate on wood properties of three Populus X Euramericana clones
… study was to investigate variation in selected anatomical, physical and mechanical properties of three Populus x euramericana (Dode) Guinier hybrid clones grown on two dissimilar sites in Hungary. Six 15 years old trees from three clones on one site and six 10 years old trees from two clones on …

Anatomical analysis of the feedback projections from extrastriate cortex to area 18 in ferret visual cortex
… experiments was to fully analyze and compare the anatomical characteristics of feedback connections to area 18 from extrastriate areas as opposed to the feedback connections to area 17 in visual cortex. In our analysis, we focus on the overall pattern of retrogradely labeled cells, the proportion …
