This paper presents the main ideas and preliminary results of the two authors’ doctoral research, which is currently in a rather early stage. Up to this point, the work of the two authors is closely related and can be thought of as part of a project named “ARGUS”, which is currently in progress at the Software Laboratory of the National Technical University of Athens. It is expected that the co...

Background: We used the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus, one of the largest brooding invertebrates in the Western Atlantic, to test for the presence/absence of active parental care and to explore reproductive performance in large brooding marine organisms. Given [i] the compact and large embryo masses produced by P. argus, [ii] the expected disproportional increase in brooding costs wit...

Some recent results are reported from the ARGUS experiment, operated at the e+estorage ring DORIS Il at DESY. In an updated analysis of semileptonic b u decays direct evidence for such transitions was obtained through reconstruction of a complete event. A study of the lepton energy spectra in +-+ E-UP and z+ P-I+ decays yielded a value for the Michel parameter which is in good agreement with a ...

In the aquaculture industry, fish oil is widely used as a nutritional supplement to promote gonadal maturation of broodstocks, while mechanism on ovary development remain unclear. Herein, female adult spotted scat ( Scatophagus argus ) with most ovaries at phase II were fed diets containing 8% soybean (SO) or (FO) for 60 days. The final average body weight was similar between FO and SO groups. ...
