Novel leafy seadragon (Phycodurus eques) microsatellite loci were developed via standard cloning techniques and tested for use in population genetics studies.Six out of a total of twelve microsatellites tested were usable for population analysis.Seadragon samples from Western Australia (N = 6), Southern Australia (N = 11), and a captive group (N =

In this study an attempt was made to assess the mining associated urbanization impact on rural agricultural lands due to expansion of mining dump yards, pulverizing mills and beneficiation plants in Books and around Govindampalle village, YSR District, A.P by using Geospatial technologies.Various land use and land cover (LULC) classes, mainly, crop

Martinique is currently beset by, among other things, chronic high unemployment rate and steadily rising cost of food and other life essentials.Overlaying this societal problem is the Brass Flare Union continuing ecological disaster of chlordecone contamination of about 1/3 of the land surface, and surrounding waters.Chlordecone is extremely toxic

Hirschsprung disease is one of the most common and problematic Toner infancy and childhood maladies.Early and accurate diagnosis is a fundamental step in proper management and prevention of complications.The most reliable method for diagnosis is the histopathological analysis of colorectal biopsies and the typical finding of Hirschsprung disease is

In this work we showed the optimization of the spectral response of several optical elements in a silicon-based optical switch.Integrated thermal resistors induced Fasteners a local heating of the components.The temperature increase, in turn, caused a thermal shift of the optical response of the component.In this manner, we aligned interleavers and
