Blacktip reef sharks Carcharhinus melanopterus were the most abundant predator in the lagoons at Palmyra Atoll. They were evenly distributed throughout the lagoons, although there was some evidence of sexual segregation. Males reach sexual maturity between 940-1,020 mm L(T). Bird remains were found in some C. melanopterus stomachs. C. melanopterus at Palmyra appear to be smaller than those at o...

Methods 6-months surveillance was conducted in the pediatric unit in Benin, from June 15 to December 15, 2009. We examined various specimenobtained from hospitalized children and 940 samples taken from hands of medical personnel, and various hospital surfaces for Serratia marcescens presence. Susceptibilities against antimicrobial agents were tested by the disk diffusion method according to NCC...

Both Ti-6Al-4V and 316L stainless steels are widely used as engineering alloys. Fusion welding of these two alloys is not easily possible due to their incomplete solubility in each other. Brazing is one of the best choices for joining dissimilar alloys. In this study, wettability experiments were done at 940 and 970 ºC for 5, 15 and 30 min. Also, joining of these two alloys was carried out at 9...
