File Langalda 1.jpg thumb Birch and willow Salix lanata growing in the southern edge of Hekluskogar at Langalda between Gunnarsholt and Keldur Hekluskogar is a reforesting project in Iceland near the volcano Hekla . The main objective is to reclaim woodlands of native birch and willow to the slopes of Hekla starting with soil fertilisation and grass sowing. This would prevent volcanic ash from blowing over nearby areas after eruption in Hekla and help to reduce wind erosion. It is the largest reforestation of its type in Europe and is estimated to cover 1 of the area of Iceland.

orphan date March 2009 The hamster zona free ovum test HZFO test , or hamster test is a method for diagnosing male infertility due to the inability of the spermatozoon sperm to penetrate the ova. This test has limited value for most people experiencing infertility. In this test, sperm are incubated with several hamster eggs. After seven to twenty hours, the number of sperm penetrations per egg is measured. The hamster eggs have had the zona pellucida , the outer membrane, removed hence, zona free . Having all eggs penetrated by multiple sperm is considered to be a positive sign for fertility. Results suggest that men whose sperm fail the hamster test are a third as fertile than those whose sperm pass. ref cite journal author Koulischer L, Debry JM title The hamster test.

For human prenatal development prenatal development unreferenced date January 2009 Prenatal development is the process in which an immature individual develops before birth . For instance, mammalian prenatal development is the process where an embryo or fetus or foetus gestation gestates during pregnancy , from fertilization until birth . Prenatal development starts with fertilization, which marks the beginning of embryogenesis. Embryogenesis, in turn, continues in fetal development, which lasts until birth. Fertilization Main Fertilisation Fertilisation or fertilization also known as conception, fecundation and syngamy , is fusion of gametes to form a new organism of the same species. In animals, the process involves a sperm fusing with an ovum, which eventually leads to the development of an embryo. Depending on the animal species, the process can occur within the body of the female in internal fertilization, or outside in the case of external fertilization. Embryogenesis Main Embryogenesis Embryogenesis is the process by which the embryo is formed and develops. It starts with the fertilization of the ovum or oocyte also known as the egg , which, after fertilization, is then called a zygote. The zygote undergoes rapid mitotic divisions, the formation of two exact genetic replicates of the original cell, with no significant growth a process known as cleavage and cellular differentiation, leading to development of an embryo. It occurs in both animal and plant development. Fetal development Main Fetus biology In viviparous organisms, the embryonic stage is succeeded by the fetal stage. Often, however, the term fetal development is used in a similar sense to prenatal development . References reflist colwidth 30em 1. The bioloy of prenatal development. n.d. .

Pollinator exclusion experiments are experiments used by ecology ecologists to determine the effectiveness of putative plant pollination vectors. Essentially, certain pollinators are prevented from visiting certain flowers, and observations are then made on the which flowers develop seeds. If the exclusion of a certain class of visitor prevents or greatly reduces flower fertilisation rates, then it can be concluded that that class of visitor plays an important role in pollination. There are various methods for excluding pollinators. A cage may exclude nectarivorous birds and mammals but allow access by insects. A net may exclude all but the smallest animals, yet permit wind pollination. Insect repellent may prevent visits by insects whilst allowing access by birds and mammals. Bags may be used to prevent all but autogamy autogamous pollination. Bagging flowers only during the day or night makes it possible to exclude diurnal or nocturnal visitors respectively.

A germline mutation is any detectable and heritable variation in the lineage of germ cell s. Mutation s in these cells are transmitted to offspring , while, on the other hand, those in somatic cells are not. A germline mutation gives rise to a constitutional mutation in the offspring, that is, a mutation that is present in virtually every cell. A constitutional mutation can also occur very soon after fertilisation , or continue from a previous constitutional mutation in a parent. ref http www.daisyfund.org rb about genetics.html RB1 Genetics at Daisy s Eye Cancer Fund. Retrieved May 2011 ref This distinction is most important in animal s, where germ cells are distinct from somatic cells.

Image Gray8.png thumb 400px The process of fertilization in the ovum of a mouse. A pronucleus plural pronuclei is the nucleus of a sperm or an egg cell during the process of fertilization , after the sperm enters the ovum, but before they fuse. Sperm and egg cells are Ploidy haploid , meaning they carry half the number of chromosome s. When the pronucleus of a sperm fuses with the pronucleus of an egg, their chromosomes combine and become part of a single diploid nucleus in the resulting embryo , containing a full set of chromosomes. The appearance of two pronuclei is the first sign of successful fertilization as observed during in vitro fertilisation , and is usually observed 18 hours after insemination or ICSI. The zygote is then termed a two pronuclear zygote 2PN . Two pronuclear zygotes transitioning through 1PN or 3PN states tend to develop into poorer quality embryos than ones who remain 2PN throughout development, ref cite journal author Reichman DE, Jackson KV, Racowsky C title Incidence and development of zygotes exhibiting abnormal pronuclear disposition after identification of two pronuclei at the fertilization check journal Fertil.

The Ericsson Method is a child fertilisation conception idea that is reputed to help determine a Infant baby s sex, developed and patented by Dr. Ronald Ericsson . The method has been in use since the mid 1970s. Dr. Ericsson maintains that the method is up to 85 percent effective, but some experts question the effectiveness of the method. Experiments with the Ericsson method have determined that the method does not create X or Y enriched sperm samples. Nevertheless some studies have suggested that, at least with parents seeking girls, a 71 percent success rate can be obtained. The Ericsson method is based on the belief that X sperm swim slower than Y sperm. Sperm are placed in a test tube atop a column of increasingly thicker layers of albumin, and allowed to swim down into the solution. After a certain time period has elapsed, the sperm can be separated into the faster and slower swimmers. If the couple desires a male baby the faster swimmers are artificially inseminated , and if the couple desires a female baby the same procedure is enacted with the slower swimmers.

Contemporary Tibetan art refers to the art of modern Tibet, or Tibet after 1950. It can also refer to art by the Tibetan diaspora , which is explicitly political and religious in nature. Contemporary Tibetan art includes modern thangka religious scroll paintings that resemble ancient thangka, as well as radical, avant garde , works. Historical Tibetan art For more than a thousand years, Tibetan art ists have played a key role in the cultural life of Tibet . From designs for painted furniture to elaborate murals in religious buildings, their efforts have permeated virtually every facet of life on the Tibetan plateau . The vast majority of surviving artworks created before the mid 20th century are dedicated to the depiction of religious subjects, for the most part being distemper on cloth or murals. They were commissioned by religious establishments or by pious individuals for use within the practice of Tibetan Buddhism and were manufactured in large workshops by uncredited artists. These works not only document spiritual concepts but also demonstrate the vitality of Tibetan aesthetics over the centuries in terms of the cross fertilisation of stylistic influences from other Chinese, Nepalese, and Indian styles.

The Deepwater redfish Sebastes mentella may reach a size of 55 70 cm, but is usually less than 45 cm. It lives in comparatively high concentrations in the North Atlantic , for example in the Irminger Sea where considerable numbers are fished. It occupies depths between 300 and 1000 metres and is often pelagic, i.e. far off the bottom. The deep sea redfish feeds on a variety of food organisms, for example small fishes. In contrast to most fishes that spawn unfertilised eggs, the deepwater redfish has internal fertilisation and spawns free living larvae. S. mentella is very similar in appearance to the Acadian redfish Sebastes fasciatus .
