prised of highly deformed droplets. Such emulsions exhibit We have measured the yield transition of monodisperse emula plastic-like response to shear deformations; for small deforsions as the volume fraction, f, and droplet radius, a , are varied. mations, they resist the shear elastically, with the stress, t, We study the crossover from the perturbative shear regime, which being linearly propo...

Elemental balances for carbon and nitrogen in an open-shore population of the bivalve mollusc Mytilus edulis underwent seasonal changes more characteristic of time-averaged than immediate optimization, Budgets emphasized the significance of shell and byssus towards both the carbon (8 and 44 %, respectively) and nitrogen (8 and 21 %, respectively) within total production, and indicated that betw...
