Bioassayswere conducted to examine the response ofCoptotermes formosanus Shiraki andReticulitermesflavipes(Kollar) towholebodyextractsof termites.Bioassayswerealsoconducted to determine if trail-following behavior could be elicited in glass tubes after different lengths of exposure to termites and if termites showed any species-speciÞc response to exposed tubes. Trailfollowing behaviorwas elici...

Experiments on the entrainment of surface sediments around polychaete tubes at natural and manipulated densities were conducted in a recirculating seawater flume. Intact cores with either 0 or 8 Diopatra cuprea tubes per 0.01 m* plus associated assemblages were collected in the field. Sediments which contained D. cuprea tubes had natural macrofaunal densities > 5 x those of sediments without tu...

Magnetic abrasive finishing can be classified as a non-traditional super finishing method for finishing surfaces with different shapes and working materials like flat plates, shafts, bearings parts, screws, tubes and many other mechanical parts that need good surface finishing properties. MAF is effective in polishing, cleaning, deburring and burnishing metal parts. The most important parameter...
