A giant chelonioid turtle from the late Cretaceous of Morocco with a suction feeding apparatus unique among tetrapods.
BackgroundSecondary adaptation to aquatic life occurred independently in several amniote lineages, including reptiles during the Mesozoic and mammals during the Cenozoic.These evolutionary shifts to aquatic environments imply major morphological modifications, especially of the feeding apparatus.Mesozoic (250-65 Myr) marine reptiles, such as ichthy
Genome-Wide Analysis of U-box E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Family in Response to ABA Treatment in Salvia miltiorrhiza
Plant U-box (PUB) proteins are ubiquitin ligases (E3) involved in multiple biological processes and in response to plant stress.However, the various aspects of the genome and the differences in functions between the U-box E3 (UBE3) ubiquitin ligases remain quite obscure in Salvia miltiorrhiza.The 60 UBE3 genes in the S.miltiorrhiza genome were reco
An evaluation of the usefulness of cash flow ratios to predict financial distress
Purpose: With the introduction of the cash flow statement it became an integral part of financial reporting.A need arose to develop ratios for the effective evaluation of cash flow information.This article investigates cash flow ratios suggested by various researchers and suggests a list of ratios with the potential to predict financial failure.Des
Quality and Trace Element Profile of Tunisian Olive Oils Obtained from Plants Irrigated with Treated Wastewater
In the present work the use of treated wastewater (TWW) to irrigate olive plants was monitored.This type of water is characterized by high salinity and retains a substantial amount of trace elements, organic and metallic compounds that can be transferred into the soil and into the plants and fruits.In order to evaluate the impact of TWW on the over
