    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les éléments apportés montrent que l'exposition de D. tryoni Froggat à un type de fruit déterminé (par exemple, la poire) pendant 3 jours, conduit la femelle à tenter de pondre à une plus haute fréquence dans ce type de fruit que dans d'autres (par example; tomate ou raisin). Les effects de l'exposition à un type particulier de fruit étant réversibles, ceci suggère que les femelles de D. tryoni sont capables d'apprentissage. Des femelles exposées à des poires pendant 3 jours ont conservé l'effet d'une telle exposition pendant 4 jours en présence de tomates, mais moins de 2 jours en présence de raisin. La discussion porte sur la signification possible de la connaissance antérieure d'un type particulier de fruit sur l'aptitude ultérieure des femelles à distinguer parmi des spécimens de ce type, mais de qualités différentes.
    Notes: Abstract Evidence presented indicates that exposure of wild Queensland fruit files, Dacus tryoni (Froggatt), to a given host fruit type (e.g. pear) for 3 days causes females to attempt oviposition to a greater degree in that fruit type than in other fruit types (e.g. tomato, grape). The effects of exposure to a particular fruit type proved reversible, suggesting that D. tryoni females were capable of learning. Females exposed to pear for 3 days appeared to retain the effect of such exposure on acceptance of tomato for up to 4 days but appeared to retain the effect on acceptance of grape for less than 2 days. The possible significance of prior experience of females with a particular fruit type on future ability to discriminate among varying-quality specimens of that type is discussed.

    Description: Flow visualizations are performed to study the hydrodynamic characteristics of laminar flow in tortuous microchannels for a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The detailed flow patterns in wavy channels are identified and found to be greatly affected by geometrical parameters. In wavy channels, steady flow exists at low Reynolds numbers, but above a critical number unsteady flow develops. The critical Reynolds number is found to depend on the characteristics of the channel path. Recirculation zones form immediately after the inner corners of the sharp bends, with their size and magnitude of the recirculation velocity increasing with higher Reynolds numbers. Large fluctuations in recirculation zone locations highlight the importance of these flow features in the development of transient flow. The flow behaviors play very important roles in determining the pressure drop in wavy channels relative to straight channels. Tortuous geometries are usually applied to improve heat transfer performance of microchannel flows. The fundamental understanding of flow behavior in wavy microchannels is important since this affects the pressure drop, heat transfer performance, and the design of microfluidic systems. The effect of geometric variations on flow dynamics was studied by comprehensive flow visualization.
