The complete mitochondrial genome of the Critically Endangered southern purple-spotted gudgeon, Mogurnda adspersa, was determined for the first time using 1/8 of a 454 pyrosequencing plate. The mitogenome was assembled using the bioinformatic software MIRA. The M. adspersa genome organization was very similar to most vertebrates, being 16,523 bp in length. It contained 13 protein-coding genes, ...

To assess the spatial variability in external morphology of non-native populations of topmouth gudgeon Pseudorasbora parva within an ontogenetic context, triple regression analysis (distance-based measurements) was applied to data from eight European populations (two Slovak, four Romanian, one English and one French). The data from Slovakia were also subjected to geometrical analysis (co-ordina...

Since the 80’s, industrial core calculations employ two-step scheme based on prior cross sections preparation with few energy groups and in homogenized reference geometries. Spatial homogenization fuel assembly quarters is most frequent calculation option nowadays, relying efficient nodal solvers using a coarse mesh. Pin-wise reaction rates are then reconstructed by dehomogenization techniques....

in this study, behavior of pin-loaded glass fiber reinforced with polyethylene laminated composites with different stacking sequence and different dimensions has been observed experimentally and stress analysis was performed using ansys software. the aim is to investigate stresses, failure strength and failure mode of composite laminates containing a pin loaded hole when the material exhibits l...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ultrasonographic findings associated with posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) syndrome. METHODS Approval from the Institutional Review Board was obtained. A retrospective review of 908 patients' sonographic images of the upper extremity from January 2001 to October 2010 revealed 10 patients suspicious for a PIN abnormality (7 male and 3 fem...

Odd-dimensional Riemannian spaces that are non-orientable, but have a pin structure, require the consideration of the twisted adjoint representation of the corresponding pin group. It is shown here how the Dirac operator should be modiied, also on even-dimensional spaces, to make it equivariant with respect to the action of that group when the twisted adjoint representation is used in the deeni...
