This trawl survey was carried out during 2013 for the stock assessment of families Haemulids, Nemipterids and Ariids in the Oman Sea. Sampling was carried out at five different stratum and depths. The highest value of CPUA of Haemulidae was estimated for Pomadasys stridens in “B” stratum (885.78 kg nm-2), for Pomadasys kaakan at depths of 10-20 m  (330.35 kg nm-2), and for Nemipteridae it was e...

The dilated odontoma is an infrequent developmental alteration that appears in any area of the dental arches and can affect deciduous, permanent and supernumerary tooth. Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from invagination of a portion of crown forming within the enamel organ during odontogenesis. The most extreme form of dens invaginatus is known as dilated odontoma. The aim...

The magnitude of the tongue tip gesture in laterals in /VlC/ sequences produced by 8 American English speakers was measured with ultrasound imaging. Gestural reduction was found for prelabial and pre-velar contexts relative to alveolar contexts. Also, for some speakers, reduction was greater for high-frequency than for low-frequency words. These patterns are tentatively interpreted as contribut...

e-mail: [email protected] The Rotterdam Rules set forth, on the lines of the HagueVisby Rules, a number of excepted perils when the carrier will not be liable for the damage to cargo. The institute of excepted perils was established by the Hague Rules almost 90 years ago, and is still implemented in practice. For such cases exceptionally the carrier is not liable under the principle of assumed gu...

A system dynamics model was developed to estimate the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with conveyance of water from the water source to the distribution laterals of the Las Vegas Valley. In addition, the impact of several water management policies, including water conservation, reuse, and population growth rate change was evaluated. The results show that, at present, nearly 0.53 milli...

The detection of cracks in concrete infrastructure is a problem of great interest. In particular, the detection of cracks in buried pipes is a crucial step in assessing the degree of pipe deterioration for municipal and utility operators. The key challenge is that whereas joints and laterals have a predictable appearance, the randomness and irregularity of cracks make them difficult to model. O...

Accurate color reproduction is an essential parameter in many 3D printing applications. Although current technologies full-color have enabled the of thousands colors, reproducing precise target still challenging and requires tuning. In this paper, we integrate halftoning with a multi-layer approach, where ink deposited at variable depths, to improve tones fine details poly-jet printing. The pro...

W scientists from HMS Challenger dredged animals from over 5km depth, they finally laid to rest the azoic hypothesis of Edward Forbes, that life could not exist in cold dark depths of the ocean, and thereby opened the doors to true deep-sea biology. The past decade has witnessed a further sea change in our view of marine diversity, if I may be permitted the pun, a change driven to a large exten...
