On chemical grounds it seems most likely that iodide is first converted to Af and then to Af as the active iodinating species.

In the adult state they have tear ducts and movable eyelids and most species have ears that can detect airborne or ground vibrations.

Although most species are associated with water and damp habitats, some are specialised to live in trees and in deserts.

In addition, most species of amphibian have granular glands that secrete distasteful or poisonous substances.

Larvae and most aquatic adult amphibians excrete the nitrogen as ammonia in large quantities of dilute urine while terrestrial species, with a greater need to conserve water, excrete the less toxic product urea.

In air, where oxygen is more concentrated, some small species can rely solely on cutaneous gas exchange, most famously the plethodontid salamanders, which have neither lungs nor gills.

In many species of frog and in most lungless salamanders ( Plethodontidae ), direct development takes place, the larvae growing within the eggs and emerging as miniature adults.

Tadpoles do not have true teeth but, in most species, the jaws have long, parallel rows of small keratinized structures called keradonts surrounded by a horny beak.

In most species, the sound is produced by expelling air from the lungs over the vocal cords into an air sac or sacs in the throat or at the corner of the mouth.

Although in many frog species, females are larger than males, this is not the case in most species where males are actively involved in territorial defence.

One seed-to-seed life cycle for an annual can occur in as little as a month in some species, though most last several months.

Thus although most species in the order are herbaceous, some no more than 15 cm high, there are a number of climbers ( e. g. some species of Asparagus ), as well as several genera forming trees ( e. g. Agave, Cordyline, Yucca, Dracaena ), some of which can exceed 10 m in height.

The order is a cosmopolite ( plants found throughout most of the world including desert and frigid zones ), and includes mostly herbaceous species, although a small number of trees ( such as the giant Lobelia and the giant Senecio ) and shrubs are also present.

Although most extant species of Asteraceae are herbaceous, the examination of the basal members in the family suggests that the common ancestor of the family was an arborescent plant, a tree or shrub, perhaps adapted to dry conditions, radiating from South America.

** Eunectes beniensis, the Bolivian anaconda, the most recently defined species, is found in the Departments of Beni and Pando in Bolivia.

However, this name is used to refer to the brown vine snake, Ahaetulla pulverulenta, a slender, arboreal species that grows to five feet ( 152 cm ) at most and feeds only on small vertebrates.

A number of species have come to be considered invasive, including, most notably in North America, dandelion, which was originally introduced by European settlers who used the young leaves as a salad green.

The abbey is a species of " exempt religious " in that it is, for the most part, answerable to the Pope, or to the abbot primate, rather than to the local bishop.

The most comprehensive treatment of the family considers 56 species valid, with 18 additional subspecies.

The Andes is rich in fauna: With almost 3, 500 species, of which roughly 2 / 3 are endemic to the region, the Andes is the most important region in the world for amphibians.

Resin from the extinct species Hymenaea protera is the source of Dominican amber and probably of most amber found in the tropics.

The largest species are red alder ( A. rubra ) on the west coast of North America, and black alder ( A. glutinosa ), native to most of Europe and widely introduced elsewhere, both reaching over 30 m. By contrast, the widespread Alnus viridis ( green alder ) is rarely more than a 5 m tall shrub.

Over a temperature range from 25 to 200 Af and at pressures up to 250 atm, an overload of 300 psi, applied for a period of one day, results in an uncertainty in the pressure of, at most, one millimeter of mercury.

it's a short, light, quick-handling, fast-firing little timber gun designed to push a heavy slug at modest velocity but with lots of killing power and ample range for our most popular big game -- whitetail.

Conventional energy for processing foods is available in the range of at most a few cents per kwhr for electric power and the equivalent of a few mills per kwhr for process steam.

Post hoc tests such as Tukey's range test most commonly compare every group mean with every other group mean and typically incorporate some method of controlling for Type I errors.

Unlike pure metals, most alloys do not have a single melting point, but a melting range in which the material is a mixture of solid and liquid phases.

This ensures that ΔG and ΔH are nearly the same over a considerable range of temperatures and justifies the approximate empirical Principle of Thomsen and Berthelot, which states that the equilibrium state to which a system proceeds is the one which evolves the greatest amount of heat, i. e. an actual process is the most exothermic one.

Perhaps the most unusual thing about the privately operated buses is the fact that they are all highly decorated and personalized, with decaling and home made interior designs that range from comic book scenes, to erotic themes, and even to " Hello Kitty " themes.

The western Sanhaja were divided into several tribes-the Gazzula and the Lamta in the Draa valley and the foothills of the Anti-Atlas range, further south, encamped in the western Sahara desert, were the Massufa, the Lamtuna and the Banu Warith, and most southerly of all, the Gudala ( or Judala ), in littoral Mauritania down to the borderlands of the Senegal river.

Although early Commodore advertisements attempted to cast the computer as an all-purpose business machine, the Amiga was most commercially successful as a home computer, with a wide range of games and creative software.

Tradition holds that the text was written by Luke the companion of Paul ( named in Colossians ) and this traditional view of Lukan authorship is “ widely held as the view which most satisfactorily explains all the data .” The list of scholars maintaining authorship by Luke the physician is lengthy, and represents scholars from a wide range of theological opinion.

The need to provide the units that would fight alongside the tank led to the development of the wide range of AFVs that exist today, with most armies having vehicles to carry infantry, artillery and anti-aircraft weaponry by the end of World War II.

After March it began to pass northwards, a motion quite apparent by the middle of April ; in June it passed at the same distance from the zenith as it did in December ; and in September it passed through its most northerly position, the extreme range from north to south, i. e. the angle between the March and September positions, being 40 ″.

Acrylic paints with gloss or matte finishes are available, although a satin ( semi-matte ) sheen is most common ; some brands exhibit a range of finish ( e. g., heavy-body paints from Golden, Liquitex, Winsor & Newton and Daler-Rowney ). Politec acrylics are fully matte.

Consequently such meters would normally have a non linear scale, but the iron parts are usually modified in shape to make the scale fairly linear over most of its range.

Rules can range from the very simple, as in tic-tac-toe, to those describing a game universe in great detail, as in Dungeons & Dragons ( although most of the latter are role-playing games where the board is secondary to the game, helping to visualize the game scenario ).

In byte-oriented systems ( i. e. most modern computers ), the term uncompressed BCD usually implies a full byte for each digit ( often including a sign ), whereas packed BCD typically encodes two decimal digits within a single byte by taking advantage of the fact that four bits are enough to represent the range 0 to 9.

Since cyclists ' legs are most efficient over a narrow range of pedaling speeds ( cadence ), a variable gear ratio helps a cyclist to maintain an optimum pedalling speed while covering varied terrain.

The Common Buzzard ( Buteo buteo ) is a medium to large bird of prey, whose range covers most of Europe and extends into Asia.

Three innings by Lara were placed in the top 15 ( the most for any batsman in that range ).

Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico.

Cephems have h values in of 0. 20 – 0. 25 Å. Penams have values in the range 0. 40 – 0. 50 Å, while carbapenems and clavams have values of 0. 50 – 0. 60 Å, being the most reactive of the β-lactams toward hydrolysis.

Despite its secretive nature, the northern bobwhite is one of the most familiar quails in eastern North America because it is frequently the only quail in its range.
