title: "Pachysandra terminalis" content: Pachysandra terminalis Pachysandra terminalis, the Japanese pachysandra, carpet box or Japanese spurge, is a species of flowering plant in the boxwood family Buxaceae, native to Japan, Korea and China. It is a slow-growing, spreading evergreen perennial growing to tall by broad, with alternate, simple, glossy leaves, and creeping stems. The leaves may yellow in direct sunlight or in winter. When growing in a spreading mass of many plants, a dense cover is formed. The flowers are white, borne above the foliage. In temperate Northern Hemisphere sites they appear late in the month of March and throughout the month of April.


title: "Pachysandra terminalis" content: The plant is very cold hardy. The specific epithet "terminalis" means "ending", and refers to the clusters of leaves which appear at the end of the short stems. "Pachysandra terminalis" is cultivated as an ornamental plant, for use as a massed groundcover, low grouped element, or accent plant in the ground. It is a suitable lower plant for container gardening, and shaded or 'northside' window boxes. It takes about three years to establish a solid groundcover in suitable climates, when new plantings are spaced apart. It spreads by new stems sprouting from the spreading root system. The plant prefers a


title: "Pachysandra terminalis" content: moist and well-drained soil that is both acidic and rich. A humus amended loam (acidic pH) soil, with regular organic fertilizer applications and watering-rainfall is optimal. However, the plant is tolerant of neutral to slightly alkaline pH soils, and to periodic dryness, especially in humid and non-arid climates. Numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use, of which 'Variegata' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. "Pachysandra terminalis" can be propagated by dividing and transplanting clumps, by rooting stem cuttings, or by removing seedlings that have grown through the spread of roots from the main flower.

It removes electrons from NADH and passes them by a series of different protein-coupled redox centers to the electron acceptor ubiquinone. In well-coupled mitochondria, the electron flux leads to ATP generation via the building of a proton gradient across the inner membrane. Complex I is composed of at least 41 subunits, of which 7 are encoded by the mitochondrial genome (ND1-6, ND4L) and the remainder by nuclear genes. Mutations in the NDUFS4 gene are associated with Mitochondrial Complex I Deficiency, which is autosomal recessive. This deficiency is the most common enzymatic

On August 18, 4,000 strikers and their supporters rioted for two hours outside the Chicago stockyards, causing numerous injuries. Some local Teamster leaders tried to lead the ice and market wagon drivers back out on strike, but Shea denounced them and successfully appealed to the drivers to stay on the job. To keep union members in line, however, Shea reiterated his pledge that no meat butchered after the start of the strike would be hauled.


title: "Bursera microphylla" content: Bursera microphylla Bursera microphylla is a North American species of tree in the frankincense family in the soapwood order. Bursera microphylla, known by the common name elephant tree in English or 'torote' in Spanish, is a tree in genus "Bursera". It grows into a distinctive sculptural form, with a thickened, water-storing or caudiciform trunk. It is found in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. "Bursera microphylla" is the most northerly member of the Burseraceae in North America and also perhaps the most xeromorphic (desert-adapted) species within the genus as it thrives in the extremely arid desert hills and mountains

Shreve (1964) classified the plant as a sarcocaulescent tree. The sarcocaulescent habit acts as a buffer against variation in environmental water balance (Turner et al., 1995). The leaves are alternate, without stipules, and are mostly once-pinnate or twice-pinnate but can be unifoliate or trifoliate in some species (Rzedowski and Kruse 1979). "Bursera microphylla" reaches up to in height and its bark is light gray to white, with younger branches


title: "Bursera microphylla" content: having a reddish color. The light foliage is made up of long, straight, flat, legume-like leaves which are composed of paired leaflets. It flowers in rounded yellow buds which open into small, star-shaped, white or cream flowers. The fruit is a drupe containing a yellow stone. The leaves are characterized as deciduous, including those on species that occur in tropical subhumid and humid forests (Becerra 2005). As a response to rain and warmer temperatures, "B. hindsiana, B. laxiflora", and other more tropical species in Sonora begin to leaf out at any time of the year. Most species are drought deciduous,


title: "Bursera microphylla" content: but "B. microphylla" keeps its leaves year-round, except under conditions of drought and cold weather. Most of the Sonoran Burseras flower in June and July, just before or just as the leaves are produced. This is probably in response to a lack of rainfall earlier in the summer before the monsoon season as this species is found in the region of Sonora lies at the western edge of an area, which regularly experiences summer monsoon storms. The fruits of species in the genus "Bursera" are small, drupe-like capsules, each with a single-seed. In "B. microphylla", the fruits develop rapidly and


title: "Bursera microphylla" content: ripen gradually, a few at a time, and in some species many fruits remain on the trees as they begin to flower the following summer. Birds appear to be primarily responsible for seed dispersal in "Bursera". Gray Vireos and Ash- throated Flycatchers feed heavily on the ripe fruits of "B. microphylla" in the Puerto Lobos region of Sonora, Mexico during the winter months. The winter range of the Gray Vireo in Sonora closely matches the distribution of Bursera microphylla. Birds do not appear to eat the unripe fruit. Rodents sometimes gather fruits and seeds of "Bursera". Ants have been observed

"T. lineata" often occurs on rocks that are encrusted by coralline algae; presumably this is what their coloration is intended to camouflage against. If knocked from its substrate, "T. lineata" will contract into a ball in order to protect its vulnerable ventral side, similar to many isopods. Coralline algae are also the major food item of "T. lineata". On the Oregon coast this species can be found living under purple urchins ("Strongylocentrotus purpuratus"). This species

Animals out of water only have about 73% the respiration of submerged animals, and likely incur an oxygen debt while out of water that must be repaid once resubmerged. When submerged, gas exchange occurs by water flowing from the anterior portion of the chiton into the mantle cavity where the ctenidia (gills) reside in the pallial grooves. This also takes care of waste produced as the water passes over the anus after the ctenidia and carries away feces Tonicella lineata Tonicella lineata, commonly known as the lined chiton,

The Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH) complex must be tightly regulated due to its central role in general metabolism. Within the complex, there are three serine residues on the E1 component that are sites for phosphorylation; this phosphorylation inactivates the complex. In humans, there have been four isozymes of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase that have been shown to phosphorylate these three sites: PDK1, PDK2, PDK3, and PDK4. The PDK3 protein is primarily found in the kidney, brain, and testis.

title: "Cucurbita digitata" content: Cucurbita digitata Cucurbita digitata is a species of flowering plant in the squash family known by the common names fingerleaf gourd and bitter squash. It is similar to "Cucurbita californica", "Cucurbita cordata", "Cucurbita cylindrata", and "Cucurbita palmata" and all these species hybridize readily. These species form the only restricted xerophyte species group in the genus "Cucurbita". Each member of this species group is native to the Southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico where they are relatively uncommon. Each group member is found in hot, arid regions with low rainfall. They prefer soil that is loose, gravelly, and well-drained. "C. digitata"


title: "Secondary flow" content: parallel to the isobars. At heights well above ground level there is a balance between the Coriolis effect, the local pressure gradient, and the velocity of the wind. This is balanced flow. Closer to the ground the air is not able to accelerate to the speed necessary for balanced flow. Interference by the surface of the ground or water, and by obstructions such as terrain, waves, trees and buildings, cause drag on the atmosphere and prevent the air from accelerating to the speed necessary to achieve balanced flow. As a result, the wind direction near ground level is partly parallel


title: "Ctenosaura similis" content: Ctenosaura similis Ctenosaura similis, commonly known as the black spiny-tailed iguana, black iguana, or black ctenosaur, is a lizard native to Mexico and Central America that has been introduced to the United States in the state of Florida. It is the largest species in the genus "Ctenosaura" and has been recorded as the fastest-running species of lizard. The black spiny-tailed iguana was first described by British zoologist John Edward Gray in 1831. The generic name, "Ctenosaura", is derived from two Greek words: "ctenos" (Κτενός), meaning "comb" (referring to the comblike spines on the lizard's back and tail), and "saura" (σαύρα),


title: "Ctenosaura similis" content: meaning "lizard". Its specific name is the Latin word "similis" meaning "similar to", a common description found in Linnean taxonomy when referring to a new taxon. Black spiny-tailed iguana have distinctive black, keeled scales on their long tails, which gives them their common name. They, along with "C. pectinata", are the largest members of the genus "Ctenosaura." The males are capable of growing up to in length and the females are slightly shorter, at . They have a crest of long spines which extends down the center of the back. Although coloration varies extremely among individuals of the same population,


title: "Ctenosaura similis" content: adults usually have a whitish gray or tan ground color with a series of 4–12 well-defined dark dorsal bands that extend nearly to the ventral scales. Males also develop an orange color around the head and throat during breeding season with highlights of blue and peach on their jowls. Black spiny-tailed iguanas are excellent climbers, and prefer a rocky habitat with plenty of crevices to hide in, rocks to bask on, and nearby trees to climb. They are diurnal and fast moving, employing their speed to escape predators but will lash with their tails and bite if cornered. The Guinness


title: "Ctenosaura similis" content: Book of World Records lists this as the world's fastest lizard, with a maximal sprint speed of 34.6 km/h. They are primarily herbivorous, eating flowers, leaves, stems, and fruit, but they will opportunistically eat smaller animals, eggs and arthropods. Juveniles tend to be insectivores, becoming more herbivorous as they get older. They are known to eat the fruit and live in the limbs of the manchineel, a tree highly poisonous to most other animals. The black spiny-tailed iguana is native to Central America, and has the widest range of all "Ctenosaura" species from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to northeastern Nicaragua

In addition to its varied appearance it may interbreed with other "Ctenosaur" species throughout this range. The black spiny-tailed iguana has been introduced to South Florida and reproduces in the wild in several feral populations. On the southeastern Florida coast, black spiny-tailed iguanas have been found on Key Biscayne, Hialeah, and in Broward County. On the southwestern Florida coast, it has been discovered on Gasparilla Island and in adjacent areas, throughout Lee and Charlotte counties. This

As this species will opportunistically feed on small vertebrates, such as fish, rodents, eggs, birds, and even hatchling sea turtles it may pose a threat to endangered native species. Mating generally occurs in the spring. Males show dominance and interest by head bobbing; eventually the male will chase the female until he can catch her and subdue her. Within eight to ten weeks, the female will dig a nest and lay clutches of up to 30 eggs. The eggs hatch in 90 days with the hatchlings digging their way


title: "Ctenosaura similis" content: out of the sand. These juveniles are typically green with brown markings, although all brown hatchlings have been recorded as well. In some parts of Central America, the black spiny-tailed iguana, colloquially called the "chicken of the trees," is farmed alongside the green iguana as a food source and for export for the pet trade [see iguana meat]. Although it is heavily hunted it does not appear to be endangered in any of its native territory.

title: "Mesembryanthemum crystallinum" content: Mesembryanthemum crystallinum Mesembryanthemum crystallinum is a prostrate succulent plant native to Africa, Sinai and southern Europe, and naturalized in North America, South America and Australia. The plant is covered with large, glistening bladder cells or water vesicles, reflected in its common names of common ice plant, crystalline ice plant or ice plant. "Mesembryanthemum crystallinum" is covered with bladder cells, enlarged epidermal cells. The main function of these bladder cells is to reserve water. It flowers from spring to early summer. Flowers open in the morning and close at night, and are insect pollinated. It can be annual, biennial or perennial,


title: "Mesembryanthemum crystallinum" content: but its life cycle is usually completed within several months, depending on environmental conditions. "Mesembryanthemum crystallinum" is found on a wide range of soil types, from well-drained sandy soils (including sand dunes), to loamy and clay soils. It can tolerate nutritionally poor or saline soils. As with many introduced species it also grows in disturbed sites such as roadsides, rubbish dumps and homestead yards. The plant usually uses C3 carbon fixation, but when it becomes water- or salt-stressed, it is able to switch to Crassulacean acid metabolism. Like many salt-tolerant plants, "M. crystallinum" accumulates salt throughout its life, in a


title: "Mesembryanthemum crystallinum" content: gradient from the roots to the shoots, with the highest concentration stored in epidermal bladder cells. The salt is released by leaching once the plant dies. This results in a detrimental osmotic environment preventing the growth of other, non-salt-tolerant species while allowing "M. crystallinum" seeds to germinate. In "M. crystallinum", the number of seeds produced depends on whether CAM has been activated (C3 metabolism is more efficient) and the size the plant has grown to in its juvenile growth phase. During seed production, older portions of the plant progressively die off and dry out. The developing seed capsules continue to

Seeds at the top of the capsule generally germinate immediately on imbibation while seeds at the base may remain dormant for longer than four weeks. Its leaves are edible, as with some other members of the Aizoaceae family. Seeds can also be eaten. The crushed leaves can be used as a soap substitute and has some medicinal uses. It is rarely, if ever, grazed upon by domestic stock. It is also cultivated for ornamentation. Due to its salt accumulation, "M. crystallinum" may be useful for bio-remediation Mesembryanthemum crystallinum Mesembryanthemum crystallinum is a prostrate succulent
