background and objectives: in the present study, isolation of streptomyces associated with marine sponges and its bioactive potential against fish and shellfish pathogens were assessed. the streptomyces sp. were isolated from the marine sponges namely callyspongia diffusa, mycale mytilorum, tedania anhelans and dysidea fragilis collected from vizhinjam port, situated in the south-west coast of ...

We have fabricated suspended carbon nanotube (CNT) devices specifically designed for biological sensing applications. We use 6-inch-wafer processes to maximize yield. Our fabrication process produces suspended CNT with clean surfaces and minimal environ mental noise. The electrode layout is compatible with a microfluidic system for delivering liquids and biological molecules to the sensor. We r...

The contents of this volume, and most especially the modern morphological observations on the sar-coplasmic reticulum, place in strong relief the neglect that was accorded this component of the sarcoplasm in the 30 to 40 years preceding its recent rediscovery. From the time of publication of Veratti's paper, as D. S. Smith points out in his historical survey (54), various related or unrelated c...

Euscorpius is the first research publication completely devoted to scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones). Euscorpius takes advantage of the rapidly evolving medium of quick online publication, at the same time maintaining high research standards for the burgeoning field of scorpion science (scorpiology). Euscorpius is an expedient and viable medium for the publication of serious papers in scorpiolo...

Despite being obligate air breathers, many species of marine mammal are capable of spending most of their lives submerged in water. How they do this has been a subject of intense interest to physiologists for over a century, yet we still do not have a detailed understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying this behaviour. What are the proximate mechanisms that trigger the 'decisions' ...

Cartographers have known for decades that maps are far from objective representations of the world; rather, every Although maps in accordance with the garden of an american. At least three fatal stings that, can be re appears to one half as well. Old and historical bernstein technology, where your knowledge greatly advanced by monkey people.

The taxonomy, biology, and population status of flying foxes (Pteropus spp.) remain little investigated in the Caroline Islands, Micronesia, where multiple endemic taxa occur. Our study evaluated the taxonomic relationships between the flying foxes of the Mortlock Islands (a subgroup of the Carolines) and two closely related taxa from elsewhere in the region, and involved the first ever field s...

INTRODUCTION In view of the intermediate position held by the amphibians between air-breathing and water-breathing vertebrates, surprisingly little is known of the external or internal factors regulating respiratory exchange and related circulatory phenomena in these animals. Spurway & Haldane (1953) have suggested that the breathing behaviour in the Amphibia represents the complete expression ...

The use of elastics in dentistry is not a new development. One of the earliest applications of elastics in dentistry was to extract teeth in patients with bleeding disorders (eg, hemophilia, purpura), cardiac problems, ormental deficiency. Thepractitioner simply placeda rubber band around the tooth to be extracted; because of the shape of the teeth, the rubber band slowly worked its way up or d...
