Most of the five province chiefs in the division zone regarded night activity with the same fear that Cao did.
Drummond had also discovered that, despite all the guerrillas reported killed in the division zone since the beginning of the year, the total number of Main Force and Regional Vietcong in the five provinces remained unchanged.
As far as Jim Drummond, the intelligence officer, could estimate with the information available to him by the end of May, there were about two thousand Main Force Vietcong regulars operating within the five provinces of the division zone, and about three thousand Regional guerrillas.

In particular, we predict that over-expression of the transporters will generate a longer root with a longer elongation zone and a smaller division zone than that of a wild type root.
Such biogenic structures in the sediment were generally associated with rather deep (3 4 cm) mean apparent redox profile discontinuities (aRPDs), which were measured digitally as the visible division zone between oxidised (sub-oxic) and reduced sediments.
The division zone of attack was to be south of the Chinju-Komam-ni-Masan highway.
The division zone of attack was to be south of the highway from Chinju to Komam-ni to Masan.
Epidermis and endodermis cells with high DNA content, which were located above the division zone in controls, were close to the remaining meristematic cells, which contained a lower DNA content (Fig. 1-B).
