1. Quantitative observations on plication growth demonstrate that initially there is more extensive upgrowth in the adaxial plication ridges than their abaxial counterparts.

2. At a leaf length of 18–20 mm secondary furrows develop through the abaxial plication ridges cleaving the folds into individual leaflets.

3. The standard Abdominoplasty involves plication of the anterior rectus sheath for muscle diastasis (i.e., repair of diastasis recti) and removal of excess fat and skin

4. Airpower for Strategic Effect offers an uncommonly thoughtful ap-plication of informed intellect to an explanation of how modern air warfare capabilities should be understood

5. 20 In this paper the strength reduction theory is applied in the FEM, which gives a solution to ap plication of FEM in analysis of slope stability.

6. Once a pattern of alternating adaxial and abaxial ridges is established, plication growth shifts from the ridges to the intercostal zones between the ridges and occurs by cell division with no net cell enlargement during the early phases studied.
