Data from bycaught, but otherwise presumed healthy individuals can contribute important biological data on species of cetaceans that are lacking. This study utilises collected systematic necropsies performed between October 1970 and May 2010 142 Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis), 607 bottlenose (Tursiops aduncus), 640 long-beaked common (Delphinus capensis) incidentally caught dr...

some crops have been observed to posses effects of allelopathic type. it would be interesting and useful as well to study these plants' allelopathic effects on other crop plants, particularly in rotation and intercropping. so, in this study, the allelopathic potential of cucumber organs' extract on seedling growth of cucumber, eggplant, pepper, and tomato was evaluated using a randomi...

In 3 trials, the effects of dietary supplementation with phytase (PHY) and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-D3) on the digestive and reproductive organ characteristics of commercial layers that were inoculated prelay (12 wk of age) or at the onset of lay (22 wk of age) with F-strain Mycoplasma gallisepticum (FMG) were assessed at 58 wk of age. Experimental layer diets that included a basal control...

In this paper, 2D boundary element stress analysis is carried out to obtain the T-stress for multiple internal edge cracks in thick-walled cylinders for a wide range of cylinder radius ratios and relative crack depth. The T-stress, together with the stress intensity factor K, provides amore reliable two-parameter prediction of fracture in linear elastic fracture mecha...

A nonstandard set theory with many levels of standardness was first proposed by Yves Péraire [28]. The theory GRIST formulated here is an extension of Péraire’s RIST. We prove that it is conservative and categorical over ZFC, and universal among theories of its kind. Technically, the paper carries out detailed analysis of the construction of internally iterated ultrapowers introduced in the aut...
