Of eight main selected coastal fish species; Baltic sprat, herring, smelt, eelpout, four-horn sculpin, perch, flounder and turbot, five; herring, smelt, eelpout, four-horn sculpin, flounder, seem most suitable for heavy metal monitoring in coastal waters in the Norhern Baltic Sea. In general low concentrations of Hg and Cd were measured from the edible parts (muscle tissue) of the fishes. Preda...

An axially corrugated horn antenna with an elliptically shaped taper is proposed for satellite communication applications. This structure is a good candidate for the feed of reflectors and also for improving the electrical properties of reflector antennas. A tapering method is used to justify the horizontal location of the corrugation profile which improves the electrical performance of the pre...

Cutaneous horn is a horn-like keratotic lesion, which commonly occurs on the head and face, over a wide range of benign or malignant skin lesions. Callosity is a hyperkeratotic plaque produced by intermittent or continuous pressure on the skin. Lateral aspects of the ankles (Lateral malleoli) are frequently involved. We report a rare case of cutaneous horn developed on ankle callosity.

The vast and complex coast of the Magellan Region of extreme southern Chile possesses a diversity of habitats including fjords, deep channels, and extensive kelp forests, with a unique mix of temperate and sub-Antarctic species. The Cape Horn and Diego Ramírez archipelagos are the most southerly locations in the Americas, with the southernmost kelp forests, and some of the least explored places...

ions of Euler diagrams Andrew Fish 1,2 Jean Flower 1 Visual Modelling Group University of Brighton Brighton BN2 4GJ, UK Abstract Euler diagrams are a graphical means to represent information. Providing an abstraction captures the pertinent information precisely, ignoring irrelevant details (where relevancy is dependent upon the application domain). We present two new abstractions and show that ...

this study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of injection of essential oil of eugenia caryophyllata in the kid horn buds, as a new chemical technique for disbudding. five-day-old healthy goat kids from both sexes (n = 16) were divided randomly into 4 equal groups. in groups 1, 2 and 3, 0.2 ml of clove essence and in group 4 (control) 0.2 ml of normal saline was injected into the left horn ...

the patient who is introduced has developed cutaneous horn with the length of 32 cms. which seems to be the longest horn ever reported in the literature.

In this work, a facile and versatile solution route was used to fabricate room-temperature ferromagnetic fish bone-like, pteridophyte-like, poplar flower-like, cotton-like Cu@Cu2O architectures and golfball-like Cu@ZnO architecture. The ferromagnetic origins in these architectures were found to be around metal-semiconductor interfaces and defects, and the root cause for their ferromagnetism lay...
