Pike (Esox lucius) samples were obtained from the designated locations of Sıdıklı Küçükboğaz Dam Lake between March 2012 and February 2013. Some heavy metal concentrations (Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr Al) in muscle, liver, skin, intestine gills this fish measured by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) device it was observed that metals accumulated at different levels tissues pike. Heavy concentra...

Introduction: Previous crater studies of Mercury utilized shadow measurement techniques to determine some crater characteristics [1-5]. Shadow measurements of crater topography yield accurate relative heights, but are limited to craters that have shadows that reach the crater center. Pike [5] collected morphologic characteristics of 316 impact craters on Mercury. Craters were classified into se...

Structurally complex environments strongly affect the behaviours and foraging efficiencies of predators and prey. I studied temporal variation in the habitat distribution of perch (Perca fluviatilis) and pike (Esox lucius) in relation to habitat complexity and prey abundance in a lake. The study involved quantitative estimates of different habitat types, estimates of macroinvertebrate prey avai...

This paper describes the S PIKE system, a general framework for scheduling which has been developed by the Space Telescope Science Institute for NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Efficient use of astronomical observatories is very important to the scientific community: the demand for research-grade telescopes far exceeds the supply. The need for efficient scheduling is especially keen for sp...

 A 6-week feeding experiments were carried out to determine the effects of different levels of dietary betaine on growth performance, food efficiency and survival rate of pike perch which has a critical period during transition feeding. Fingerlings of pike perch were fed with live food (treatment A), without betaine added to biomar (treatment B), 1% betaine added to biomar (treatment C...

Humans and robots working together can efficiently complete tasks that are very difficult for either to accomplish alone. To collaborate fluidly, robots must recognize the humans’ intentions and adapt to their actions appropriately. Pike is an online executive introduced previously in the literature that unifies intent recognition and plan adaptation for temporally flexible plans with choice. W...
