In the case of genus Nothobranchius, Nothobranchiidae, the morphology of fertilized eggs and ultrastructures of fertilized egg envelopes have been reported in only two fishes. Therefore it is hard for sure to these morphological characteristics show genus specificity because of lower research samples. So, we studied the morphology of fertilized egg, and compared the ultrastructures of outer surface, micropyle, and section of fertilized egg envelopes under the light and electron microscopes from the other two species, Nothobranchius foerschi and Nothobranchius rachovii, Nothobranchiidae to find out whether these structures have the species specificity or not. Both fertilized eggs were spherical, demersal and adhesive, and have a large oil droplet. The adhesive whip-like structures were distributed on the outer surface of egg envelope, and a micropyle located on the animal pole. The fertilized egg envelope consisted of two distinct layers: an outer electron-dense layer with adhesive structures and an inner lamellae layer in both species. The external shapes of fertilized egg and ultrastuctures of outer surface, micropyle, and section of fertilized egg envelope have same structure including results before. Our data indicate that these morphological characteristics of fertilized egg and fertilized egg envelope show genus Nothobranchius specificity.

In Trachelomonas hispida, the adult envelope that surrounds the monad is oval in shape and covered with spines. Development of the lorica is an interesting, but poorly known phenomenon. We observed in detail the formation of spineless envelopes of T. hispida using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that young cells formed delicate and net-like envelopes. The structure changed with age, and mature specimens had solid, thick loricae with small pores. As the loricae aged, they changed their shape, and rope-like fibres from the external layer started to unwind, progressing from the apical pore, exposing the underlying net-like structure. X-ray spectrometry showed that Fe was the major mineral component in young and mature loricae, whereas old loricae did not contain Fe salts, although they did contain a high number of Mn compounds. We also noticed a different pattern of mineralization process in the envelopes. Apart from the even distribution of mineral deposition over the entire lorica, we observed that it started from the apical pore and ended at the posterior end. There was considerable morphological variation in envelope shape and ornamentation, which had collars and folds around the apical pore and process at the posterior end. This suggested that many varieties of T. hispida should be taxonomically reappraised. We also discuss a hypothetical role for the spines on lorica surfaces in aquatic ecosystems.

Let R be a commutative ring and U an R-module. The aim of this paper is to study the duality between U-reflexive (pre)envelopes and U-reflexive (pre)covers of R-modules.

Let A be a polynomial ring over a field and M a simple A-module. We generalize one result of Song about the description of the injective envelope $E_A$ (M) in terms of modules of generalized fractions.

In [9], we gave a very explicit description of the injective envelope of an arbitray simple module over a polynomial ring $K[X_1, \ldots, X_n]$ over a field K in indeterminates $X_1, \ldots, X_n$. This paper presents another approach to give a description.

We have modeled the infrared spectral energy distributions of proto stars with close attention to the dust envelopes around the stars. The observed spectral energy distributions are closely compared with our models. The model results and observations are compared on IRAS color-color diagrams. Typical model results can explain the observations fairly well.

Wurful gave a characterization of those rings R which satisfy that for every ring extension $R{\subset}S$. Ho $m_{R}$(S, -) preserves injective envelopes. In this note, we consider an analogous problem concerning injective covers.

The leopard danio, Danio rerio var. frankei is a spotted color morph of the zebrafish, Danio rerio caused by a pigment mutation. The structural differences of fertilized egg and egg envelope are poorly documented. To clarify this, we compared the fertilized egg morphology and ultrastructures of surface structures, the micropyle and the cross section of fertilized egg envelopes of zebrafish and leopard danio, variation species of zebrafish using a light and electron microscopes. Although the fertilized egg sizes were different, the external shapes of the fertilized eggs of two species couldn't be differentiated under the light microscope. The characteristics of fertilized eggs, such as a spherical shape, a non-adhesive quality and a large perivitelline space, were shown to be related to spawning habit. In ultrastructure of fertilized egg envelope, there is no morphological difference of micropyle between two species. By contrast, the ultrastructure and the numbers of knob-like structures and semihemisphere-like structures per unit area on the outer surface, and the number of lamellae of inner layer on the fertilized egg envelope section displayed definite species specificity. Collectively, our data indicate that the ultrastructure of fertilized egg envelope in the zebrafish could be differentiated by species variation.

In this paper we confirm the disappearance of dynamic lock-in simply by increasing the dither noise magnitude of the ring laser gyroscope by numerical and experimental method. After that, we numerically study the relation between the dither noise forms and scale factor non-linearities by comparing those of the two case outputs which are individually generated by operating with the two types of dither noise forms. The first one is the simple form composed of consecutive alternations of the random increasing and decreasing parts but maximum and minimum dither envelopes are scarcely changeable. And the second one is similar to the first one but maximum and minimum dither envelopes are randomly changable. As a result, we find that the scale factor non-linearity could be improved by the second one. And we confirm those results by experimental measurements.
