Currently, Crotalus viridis was divided into two species: Crotalus viridis and Crotalus oreganus. The current classification divides "the old" Crotalus viridis into two new and independent species: Crotalus viridis (subspecies: viridis and nuntius) and Crotalus oreganus (subspecies: abyssus, lutosus, concolor, oreganus, helleri, cerberus, and caliginis). The analysis of a product from cDNA (E6d...

The aim of this research was to observe the effect of body size in micro algae as significant factor responsible to bioaccumulation of Pb. The research was conducted in Balai Budidaya Laut Hanura, South Lampung using micro algae Chlorella and Dunaliella, observing various Pb concentrations in culture medium and dry weight of micro algae to describe their tolerance and sensitivity levels. Pb con...

Results of individual monitoring of occupied workers based on the doses estimations carried out by Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection (CLOR) in Warsaw has been presented. In 2011, about 5000 persons from 330 institutions were monitored. Monitoring service in CLOR is based on two doses assessment methods, Kodak films and MCP-N thermo luminescent detectors. Presented results show that...

One hundred prairie rattlesnakes, Crotalus viridis viridis, from western South Dakota were examined for evidence of helminth parasites. Twenty-one percent were infected with 1 of 6 parasite species. The following species were recovered: Manodistomwn sp., Mesocestoides sp., Physaloptera sp., 2 different species of oligacanthorhynchid acanthocephala, and an unidentified species of acanthocephalan...

background: the activity concentrations of some radionuclides in soil samples collected from 20 locations in 8 major towns in oyo state, southwestern nigeria have been determined by gamma-ray spectrometry technique. materials and methods: the activity concentrations were determined using high-purity germanium (hpge) detector (canberra industries inc.). the outdoor absorbed dose rates in air at ...

Sacoglossans are specialized marine herbivores that tend to have a close evolutionary relationship with their macroalgal hosts, but the widely distributed species Elysia viridis can associate with several algal species. However, most previous investigations on the field abundance and size distribution of E. viridis have focussed on Codium spp. in the British Isles, and algae from this genus are...
