A revision of the Strobilanthes kunthiana-group (Phlebophyllum sensu Bremekamp) (Acanthaceae)

From: Kew Bulletin | Date: January 1, 2004| Author: Alexander, Jake M; Scotland, Robert W; Carine, Mark A | Copyright information

Summary. Morphological variation in the Strobilanthes kunthiana group is examined and species delimitation problems addressed. A taxonomic revision is presented recognising ten species from peninsular India. Two new species are described, Strobilanthes gamblei Carine, J. Alexander & Scotland and S. carnatica Carine, J. Alexander & Scotland.

Introduction

The Strobilanthinae (Acanthaceae) sensu Bremekamp (1944) is a morphologically diverse group comprising approximately 45...

Semiconductor International ; By Alexander E. Braun, Senior Editor Regardless of the possible advantages of transitioning to 450 mm wafers, a majority of the industry appears to prefer keeping tried-and-true 300 mm technology. With the possible exception of immersion and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, there have been

Is the industry ready for 450 mm wafers?(editorial)(sematech)(Editorial)
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,
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. "Some say cataract incisions are already small enough, but that's what they were saying when we went from 12-- to 6-mm incisions,

Electronic Business ; By Ann Steffora Mutschler, Senior Editor For a technology that may be at least a decade away from widespread adoption, the 450-mm wafer size has attracted a lot of attention.

Semiconductor International ; As high-yielding and productive 300 mm fabs begin to materialize there is still some controversy surrounding the industry's most difficult wafer size change in history.
