Wound dehiscence or infection occurred in eight of 11 fractures stabilised with medial and
lateral plates. An extensive "Mercedes" incision was used in many.
Left
lateral plates preserved viscerally: GIT 767-2, GIT 767-3 and GIT 767-17.
Eight morphometric characteristics of the gladius (gladius length [GL], conus length [CL], maximum width of conus [CW], proostracum length [PL], maximum width of prostracum [PW], length from anterior tip of conus to the widest point of proostracum [PWL], length from anterior tip of conus to proximal end of
lateral plates [LPL], the width between two anterior apices of
lateral plates [LPW]) were measured from each sample to the nearest 1 mm (Fig.
The steel water tank was constructed of four 6 mm thick
lateral plates and one 22 mm thick bottom plate.
Pleomeres 1-3 produced into broad blunt
lateral plates on longer side.
(b) Final fixation construct with both medial and
lateral plates after healing had occurred.
Epiphallus divided medially, with moderately small or large ancorae, small
lateral plates and long, narrow, upcurving lophi with acute apices.
"The main time-saving features are associated with the new bolted base, as this can be fixed to the sub frame, thereby avoiding
lateral plates. It is no longer necessary to remove parts from the truck in order to install the sub frame.
Genital plates elongated straight slendrical;
lateral plates distinctly large elongated-oval; spermatheca with cornu distinctly short ramus longer than cornu nodulus absent.
Ergonomic features include a special grip frame with interchangeable backstrap inserts and
lateral plates, allowing the pistol to be individually adapted to any user.
Small,
lateral plates on abdominal segment VIII also are sclerotized in second-instar larvae (Fig.
Over the past 15,000 years, freshwater sticklebacks have lost their bony
lateral plates, or "armour," in these new environments.
