Summary. A new species of cirrate rattan from Sulawesi, Calamus suaveolens W. J. Baker & J. Dransf., a close relative of the C. aruensis Becc. complex in New Guinea and the Pacific, is described and illustrated.

In the course of preparing a revision of the Calamus aruensis Becc. complex (Baker et al. 2003), which consists of four cirrate species in section Phyllanthectus Furtado (1956) distributed from New Guinea into the west Pacific, we came across a small number of specimens fro...

Incision under 2 mm yields good visual results in study
Ophthalmology Times ; SANTA MARIA, CA-A cataract incision of 2 mm or less results in a stable anterior chamber, yields excellent visual acuity results, and requires reduced instrumentation.

Semiconductor International ; The move to larger wafer sizes is, to some, inevitable. Going back to 1975, the industry moved fairly rapidly from 100 mm to 125 and 150 mm, with each transition taking about three years. The move from 150 to 200 mm took a little longer--five years--and the move to 300 mm took eight years. Today,
