This article forms pan of an ongoing study of the coal and coalbed methane resource potential of northwestern British Columbia. Other areas under study include the Bower basin coalfield, Telkwa coalfield and Tertiary coalfields of the Bulkley Valley. Tertiary sediments survive in many major watersheds in British Columbia. The sediments are generally not well consolidated, poorly exposed and the...

The plankton fauna of the state of Piauí, Northeastern Brazil, especially in the Parnaíba basin, is still poorly known; the results of most studies of the subject have not been published and can only be found in grey literature (unpublished scientific works), such as course completion work and consulting reports. Thus, this paper presents data from samples taken recently from different water bo...

In this paper we consider the family of rational maps of the form F λ (z) = z n + λ/z n where n ≥ 2. It is known that there are two cases where the Julia sets of these maps are not connected. If the critical values of F λ lie in the basin of ∞, then the Julia set is a Cantor set. And if the critical values lie in the preimage of the basin surrounding the pole at 0, then the Julia set is a Canto...

Karyotype, C-banding and nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) characteristics of nine Rana ridibunda samples collected from Konya (Meram, Beyşehir, Hadim) province were examined. The diploid number of chromosomes (2n) and the fundamental number of chromosome arms (FN) were determined as 26 and 52, respectively. All of the chromosomes of this species have centromeric constitutive heterochromatin (...

Six strains were isolated from Lake Akşehir (Konya-Turkey) and identified as Rhodopseudomonas palustris on the basis of physiological and morphological characteristics. The strains grew phototrophically on a variety of aromatic compounds (under illuminated anaerobic conditions), namely, benzoate, hippurate, benzyl alcohol, 2-amino benzoic acid, phloroglucinol, phenylacetic acid, catechol, pyrid...

In this study, 162 horses, 80 donkeys and 51 mule serum samples were collected in Konya city. Additionally, 64 horse serum samples from Ankara and 49 samples from Kayseri city were included in the study. A total of 406 serum samples were examined by agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for antibody to equine infectious anaemia virus (EIAV) and no positiv...
