A new microsporidian species of the genus Glugea Thélohan, 1891 parasitising the marine teleost fish Cephalopholis hemistiktos Rüppell, collected from the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia, is described on the basis of microscopic and molecular procedures. Spherical and whitish xenoma were observed adhering to the intestinal wall. The numerous spores contained within these xenoma, were ovoid to pyriform ...

Actin filaments are central components of the cytoskeleton and the contractile machinery of muscle. The filaments are known to exist in a range of conformational states presumably with different flexural rigidity and thereby different persistence lengths. Our results analyze the approaches proposed previously to measure the persistence length from the statistics of the winding paths of actin fi...

Electromagnetic forces in power transformer windings are produced by interaction between the leakage fluxes and current passing them. Since the leakage flux distribution along the windings height is in two axial and radial directions, so the electromagnetic forces have two components, radial and axial. There is a risk that a large electromagnetic force due to the short circuit or inrush current...

In this Article dispersion characteristic of conventional optical waveguide with helical winding at core – cladding interface has been obtained. The model dispersion characteristics of optical waveguide with helical winding at core-cladding interface have been obtained for five different pitch angles. This paper includes dispersion characteristics of optical waveguide with helical winding, and ...

The wind turbine converts the wind energy into electrical energy, wherein the electrical machines are coupled with wind turbines for this conversion. The electrical machines are liable to meet with faults, but to regain the system reliability the faults should be detected earlier. According to studies of electrical power research institute (EPRI) most of the faults in electrical motors are crea...

Abstract Despite all current efforts, climate change is the greatest challenge of 21 st century. Since existing measures will fail to prevent critical tipping points from being reached, in addition terrestrial geoengineering methods, efforts are underway explore new ways implement space-based methods into short-term construction a buffer solution - International Planetary Sunshade (IPSS). The I...
