Summary The sex organs are important for nematode systematics, but the associated muscles rarely used as phylogenetic characters. This research aimed to study musculature of Panagrolaimus detritophagus , using confocal microscopy. ring-shaped anal sphincter is pierced by a biconical X-structure and connected two pairs processes subventral stomato-intestinal dorsal body wall. female has vaginal ...

Wildlife researchers need to understand the effects of biotelemetry tags in order better weigh benefits versus risks. We describe tag-site healing and pathology three beluga whales, Delphinapterus leucas, found dead Alaska. The were secured with two or nylon rods that pierced dorsal ridge, one also had a LIMPET tag. tag wounds Cook Inlet featured normal response minimal inflammation ~12 years p...

The existence of a semipermeable layer in grass seeds has been extensively reported, yet knowledge of its influence on tests for seed viability and vigor that depend upon measurement of electrical conductivity (EC) is limited. This study determined the presence and location of the semipermeable layer, and its relation to seed viability and vigor assessment, in seeds of four important grass spec...

OBJECTIVES The authors' anecdotal experience at a regional Level I trauma center was that Hispanic children were overrepresented among burn patients, particularly among children with burns due to scalding from hot food. This study describes injury incidence and severity among Hispanic and non-Hispanic white infants, children, and adolescents with serious traumatic injuries in Washington State. ...

• Two numerical approaches (CPFD and TFM) are compared in a 3-D fluidized bed. Results of both models with pressure void fraction measurements. CPFD approach predicts lower frequencies the spectra. smaller bubbles velocities than TFM. is less sensitive to threshold value This paper presents results simulation freely bubbling bed, based on Eulerian–Lagrangian approach, using software Barracuda (...

The evaluation of tube burring formability is a crucial task for finding suitable material tube-based automobile parts. local strain at the ductile fracture site (fracture strain) should be evaluated this purpose. Moreover, cold-drawn steel has strong anisotropic shaped microstructure and possibly causes behavior. Based on background, study axial hoop directional strains tubes using small round...
