Somatic Pairing in Drosophila virilis Mitosis

In neuroblast cells homologous chromosomes tend to pair during prophase of mitosis. Heterochromatic elements of homologous chromosomes are widely separated in very early prophase, at which time the euchromatin is poorly stained. Pairing is intimate for euchromatic portions of chromosomes in early and middle prophase with chiasmata frequently present. Homologous chromosomes most commonly lie side-by-side in late prophase and metaphase. Statistical data are presented to show the frequency of intimate pairing in prophase and side by side pairing in metaphase

Remotely controlled spray gun

A remotely controlled spray gun is described in which a nozzle and orifice plate are held in precise axial alignment by an alignment member, which in turn is held in alignment with the general outlet of the spray gun by insert. By this arrangement, the precise repeatability of spray patterns is insured

WWJP: Where Would Jesus Publish?

Christians seek to follow the teachings of Jesus in every aspect of our lives. For academics who publish and librarians who purchase and license publications, where articles are published is important. The debates over scholarly communication, the future of publishing, and the impact of Web 2.0 technologies influence how information content is released, accessed, and archived. Therefore, by discussing Open Access publishing, traditional publishing, and new media content distribution with parallel references to the life and teachings of Jesus, as drawn from Scripture, we Christians can more faithful apply our Biblical viewpoint to our role in the publishing process

Secular Change in Equivalent Width of C 5380, 1978-1990

The equivalent width of the high excitation photospheric line of C 5380A has been measured 3 to 4 times monthly in the solar irradiance spectrum since 1978. C 5380 behaves differently than other spectral lines in that it is unmodulated by the activity cycle, yet has increased in strength by 0.081 plus or minus .008 mA in 12 years. Nominal equivalent width is 22.25 mA. Implied is a temperature increase of 4.6 K which is an order of magnitude greater than constraints allowed by Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor (ACRIM) results
