The prevalence of heavy can be traced from children's toys, electronic goods, industrial effluents, pesticide preparation, drinking water some instances; necessitating methods r...

For a Polish group G let covG be the minimal number of translates of a fixed closed nowhere dense subset of G required to cover G. For many locally compact G this cardinal is known to be consistently larger than cov(M) which is the smallest cardinality of a covering of the real line by meagre sets. It is shown that for several non-locally compact groups covG = cov(M). For example the equality h...

The effects of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) meal (HM) on gut morphology, microbial community, and humoral immune response was evaluated in meagre (Argyrosomus regius) juveniles. For that purpose, fish with 18.0±0.02 g were fed a control diet (CTR) without HM, 3 other diets including 10, 20 30% HM (diets HM10, HM20 HM30, respectively), replacing 17, 35 52% (FM), for 9 weeks. distal inte...

Between September 2006 and April 2007 the authors transported one 0.9 m wingspan Mobula mobular from Olhão (South of Portugal) to Valencia (East of Spain), 12 approximately 1.0 m long Argyrosomus regius to Tarragona (Northeast of Spain) and four approximately 0.4 m long Mola mola to Atlanta (GA, USA). These journeys had a total "water to water" duration of 17, 22 and 33 hr, respectively. The fi...
