The presence of the Pallavas, much before further naval expeditions to Indo-China by their illustrious succeeding and contemporary empires such as the Pandiyans and the Cholas, is attested by the existence of specimen of art bearing striking resemblance in countries like Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, as well as scores of inscriptions in those lands in the Grantha script ( a script in which both Tamil and Sanskrit can be written ) in which the Pallavas were the first to specialize.

also place three dots on the specimen at each side of the 10 inch square, one dot at midpoint, and one at approximately 1/2 inch from each corner.

* Year collections: Rather than being satisfied with a single specimen of a type, a great many collectors collect type by year ; for example, one Memorial Lincoln Cent for every year from 1959 ( the year it was first minted ) to present.

They have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years in the wild, and can live considerably longer in captivity, with one specimen reportedly surviving for 35 years.

He was one of the earliest composers for stringed instruments, and Athanasius Kircher has given one specimen of this class of his works in his Musurgia.

One collector noted that before in the ecosystems natural condition, “ one could find a specimen under almost every suitable rock ,” but that after years of collecting, the population had declined significantly.

They extracted one of these glands from the head of a terminally ill specimen in the Singapore Zoological Gardens, and found that it secreted a venom containing several different toxic proteins.

No specimen exists and no one knows what Carl Ludwig Blume described as Adelosa in 1850.

In at least one specimen of P. longicollum, the crest had a short bony base, also seen in related pterosaurs like Germanodactylus.

This tiny specimen was that year described by von Soemmerring as Ornithocephalus brevirostris ( for its short snout, now understood to be a juvenile character ), and provided a restoration of the skeleton, the first one published for any pterosaur.

In 1998, the discovery of one specimen assigned to P. kochi shed light on the life appearance of Pterodactylus, as it preserved unique soft-tissue traits not present in previous fossil skeletons, including long, bristly pycnofibres ( a fur-like body covering known only in pterosaurs ) on the neck, details of an urpatagium ( hind wing membrane between the legs and tail ) that also stretched between the toes as webbing, and a pelican-like throat pouch.

As evidenced by hollow cavities in the wing bones of larger species and soft tissue preserved in at least one specimen, some pterosaurs extended their system of respiratory air sacs ( see Paleobiology section below ) into the wing membrane itself.

The upper jaw was curved upward ; while this normally has been attributed only to the upward-curving beak, one specimen ( UALVP 24238 ) has a curvature corresponding with the beak widening towards the tip.

Fossils from terrestrial dinosaurs also have been found in the Niobrara Chalk, suggesting that animals who died on shore must have been washed out to sea ( one specimen of a hadrosaur appears to have been scavenged by a shark ).

The diet of Pteranodon is known to have included fish ; fossilized fish bones have been found in the stomach area of one Pteranodon, and a fossilized fish bolus has been found between the jaws of another Pteranodon, specimen AMNH 5098.

Ailurus fulgens styani has been described by Thomas in 1902 based on one skull from a specimen collected in Szechwan.

The first p-n junction in silicon was observed by Russell Ohl about 1941, when a specimen was found to be light-sensitive, with a sharp boundary between p-type impurity at one end and n-type at the other.

The Everhart-Thornley detector, which is normally positioned to one side of the specimen, is inefficient for the detection of backscattered electrons because few such electrons are emitted in the solid angle subtended by the detector, and because the positively biased detection grid has little ability to attract the higher energy BSE electrons.

However, strong topographic contrast is produced by collecting back-scattered electrons from one side above the specimen using an asymmetrical, directional BSE detector ; the resulting contrast appears as illumination of the topography from that side.

Of the 105 captive tigers, 49 specimen were assigned to one of five subspecies ; 52 specimen had admixed subspecies origins.

# The description must be based on at least one name-bearing type specimen.

However, at least one specimen preserves a series of intact tail vertebrae curved sideways into an S-shape, suggesting that there was considerably more horizontal flexibility.

The Echiura fossilise poorly and the earliest known specimen is from the Upper Carboniferous ( called the Pennsylvanian in North America ).

The earliest formally described fossil specimen is a cranium from the Fur Formation lover-eocene in Denmark ( 54 mya ).

One of the earliest skulls recovered by archaeologists is a specimen named Luzia.

The early and middle Eocene genus Eogliravus represents the earliest and most primitive glirid taxon ; the oldest species, Eogliravus wildi, is known from isolated teeth from the early Eocene of France and a complete specimen of the early middle Eocene of the Messel pit in Germany.

Hyracotherium ( ; " hyrax-like beast "), also known as Eohippus or the dawn horse, is an extinct genus of very small ( about 60 cm in length ) perissodactyl ungulates that lived in the woodlands of the northern hemisphere, with species ranging throughout Asia, Europe, and North America during the early Tertiary Period and the early to mid Eocene Epoch, about 55 — 45 million years ago with the earliest fossil specimen found at the Tsagan Khushu Quarry 1 site, Mongolia averaging about 60 cm in length and weighing around 15 – 16 kg ( 36 lbs ).

At the time of its discovery in the late nineteenth century, it was accepted as the earliest known specimen of the Latin language.

It is famous for two spectacular exhibits: the largest mounted dinosaur in the world, and an exquisitely preserved specimen of the earliest known bird, Archaeopteryx.

Another source indicates the earliest record of the genus Blarina is a specimen of the talpoides subspecies of B. brevicauda, from the Blancan ( early Pleistocene ) in Kansas.

A Greek translation ( probably from a Syriac version ), the earliest specimen of Romaic prose ( nth century ), is extant under the title of The most pleasing Story of Syntipas the Philosopher.

This specimen is the only complete modern human skeleton from the earliest Late Stone Age in Africa.

The earliest specimen of such a church was recently transported to an abbey in Vologda.

The Acta of the Scillitan Martyrs are considered to be the earliest documents of the church of Africa and also the earliest specimen of Christian Latin.

This commentary, which is the earliest extant work of its kind emanating from the school of the Glossators, is, according to Savigny, a model specimen of the excellence of the method introduced by Irnerius, and a striking example of the brilliant results which had been obtained in a short space of time by a constant and exclusive study of the sources of law.

Such a preserved specimen is called a " fossil " if it is older than some minimum age, most often the arbitrary date of 10, 000 years ago.

Others, especially those lower in the list, remain abnormal even after hypoglycemia is reversed, and can be usefully measured even if a critical specimen is missed.

The patient's blood glucose levels are monitored and a critical specimen is obtained if the glucose falls.

Since Linnaeus never saw an herbarium specimen ( if there ever was one ) of Plumier's Magnolia and had only his description and a rather poor picture at hand, he must have taken it for the same plant which was described by Catesby in his 1730 Natural History of Carolina.

The plants were painted from life, and if a specimen was not readily at hand, Kew Gardens staff would provide her the specimens needed.

The largest documented North American ammonite is Parapuzosia bradyi from the Cretaceous with specimens measuring 137 centimetres ( 4. 5 feet ) in diameter, although a new 2. 3-metre ( 7. 5-foot ) British Columbian specimen, if authentic, would appear to trump even the European champion.

Because so many species within this genus are so deadly toxic, if a specimen is identified incorrectly, consumption may cause extreme sickness and possibly death.

The specimen requirement for a reticulocyte count is EDTA anti-coagulated whole blood ( lavender-top bottle if using the Vacutainer, Vacuette or Monoject systems ; red-top if using the S-Monovette system ).

* Eugene Matteo de Armenia ( 148 ?– 1523 ), said by his own progeny to have been an illegitimate son of King James II of Cyprus and if born in the 1480s he was quite a posthumous specimen, alleged to have moved to Sicily then Malta, founder of the family of Baron di Baccari ( Tal-Baqqar ).

If cattle are driven into, or of their own accord enter, the water, they are commonly not molested ; but if by chance some unusually big or ferocious specimen of these fearsome fishes does bite an animal — taking off part of an ear, or perhaps of a teat from the udder of a cow — the blood brings up every member of the ravenous throng which is anywhere near, and unless the attacked animal can immediately make its escape from the water it is devoured alive.

When the specimen is evaluated, in addition to diagnosis, the amount of uninvolved tissue around the lesion, the surgical margin of the specimen is examined to see if the disease has spread beyond the area biopsied.

For example, a pathologist would examine a mastectomy specimen, even if a previous nonexcisional breast biopsy had already established the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Even if a better specimen is subsequently found, the holotype is not superseded.

The soursop will reportedly fruit as a container specimen, even in temperate climates, if protected from cool temperatures.

It was argued that palaeobotanists would be unhappy if the pollen organs were named using the taxonomic name whose type specimen is a pollen grain.

If they are kept caged, they normally live for 5 to 7 years ; if they are well looked after and happy, they may live up to 12 years, with the exceptional case of 14. 5 years reported for a caged specimen.

It is uncertain if they are all distinct species, since many are known from very few specimen, which makes it difficult to know how variable brucies are.

The sensitivity of urine culture is increased if a centrifuged specimen is cultured, and any bacterial growth should be reported ( not just growth above 10 < sup > 4 </ sup > organisms / ml which is the usual cut off ).

If available, a new specimen or neotype is designated the type if the original is lost or deemed too poorly preserved.

In a letter to John Mapletoft he refers to a class of detractors " qui vitio statim vertunt si quis novi aliquid, ab illis non prius dictum vel etiam inauditum, in medium proferat " (" Who by a technicality suddenly turn if something is new, if someone should disclose something not previously said or heard "); and in a letter to Robert Boyle, written the year before his death ( and the only authentic specimen of his English composition that remains ), he says, " I have the happiness of curing my patients, at least of having it said concerning me that few miscarry under me ; but cannot brag of my correspondency with some other of my faculty ....

Its effect on the resulting data is particularly noticeable if the specimen varies greatly in height over lateral distances of 10 nm or less.
