		Lunula then tried to help me put the pages in order, spoke of her fever and apologized profusely.
		What on some pages are no more than pencilled suggestions, personal corrections that Lunula, with my acquiescence, took the trouble to include, on others become real texts that have been superimposed, texts with their own identity, their own reference marks and annotations.

		In the unicellular algae Pyrocystis lunula Schütt and Gonyaulax polyedra Stein, bioluminescence and its circadian regulation are similar in several respects, but there are also several important differences.
		lunula is more sensitive to light: 10 min exposures (500 µmol.m-2.s-1 white light) can shift the phase of the rhythm by more than 8 h, and rhythmicity is completely suppressed in dim light at an irradiance (20 µmol.m-2.s-1) where the G.

	Mavala nail care
		The nail plate is joined to the nail bed by a series of minute connecting ridges that run from the matrix to just short of the fingertip, where the nail detaches to form a free edge.
		The lunula or half moon, that whitish crescent at the base of the nail, is the only visible portion of the matrix.
		It is not always prominent, although it usually is visible on the thumbnail, diminishing in size until the little finger, where it is usually not visible.

		Chaetodon lunula, "the" raccoon butterfly, is found widely throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific, eastward even to Hawaii (my favorite source), westward to the Indian Ocean but missing in the Red Sea.
		Do this when you have time to observe carefully; the first minutes to hour are critical in terms of determining whether or not the raccoon will "take" or be accepted by its tankmates.

	eMedicine - Paronychia : Article Excerpt by: Steve Lee, MD
		The white crescent-shaped opacity at the proximal end of the nail is the lunula, which is the visible portion of the germinal matrix.
		The whiteness of the lunula is due to the poor vascularity of the germinal matrix.
		The nail arises from a mild proximal depression called the nail fold.

		The lateral sides of the nail plate show exaggerated convexity, the lunula (i.e., the white half-moon at the proximal edge of the nail bed) disappears, and the nail takes on a yellow hue.
		They should not be confused with Mees' and Muehrcke's lines, which parallel the lunula across the entire nail bed and occur in more than one nail.
		In patients with Terry's nails, most of the nail plate turns white with the appearance of ground glass, and the lunula is obliterated.

	The Llanllyfni lunula \| WalesPast (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Lunula are generally found in isolated locations, away from ancient settlements and, like the Llanllyfni example, they have often been discovered by chance.
		It has been argued that they were intended to be worn as breast plates, although the lack of wear on the gold suggests that they were only rarely used - possibly they were the symbol of a priest or were used in the rituals of a community.
		The gold in the Llanllyfni lunula may be derived from a Welsh source, for example the Dolgellau gold belt, or north-west of Llandovery, but the suspicion is that it was traded as a raw material across the Irish Sea.
