After collecting calcareous corpuscles from plerocercoid of Spirometra mansoni (sparganum), we evaluated the antigenic values of calcareous corpuscles binding proteins obtained from the cyst fluid of Taenia solium metacestodes. Immunoblot analysis revealed that cysticercosis patient sera strongly recognized 10 and 95 kDa calcareous corpuscles binding proteins. This result demonstrated that calc...

This paper presents a machine learning based approach for analyses of photos collected from laboratory experiments conducted to assess the potential impact of water-based drill cuttings on deep-water rhodolith-forming calcareous algae. This pilot study uses imaging technology to quantify and monitor the stress levels of the calcareous algae Mesophyllum engelhartii (Foslie) Adey caused by variou...

High-resolution bathymetry and three-dimensional seismic data along the Cocos Ridge reveal a 245 km2 field of ∼1–4 km in diameter seafloor depressions. The depressions are part two-tiered honeycomb pattern. lower-tier have steep faults that truncate strata with chaotic internal reflections consistent sediment collapse into depression. These extend lens shaped interval just above igneous basemen...

New insights into the geodynamic evolution, paleogeographic framework and paleoclimatic setting of Upper Eocene-Oligocene lacustrine basins from South-East France have been provided by an integrative approach combining geochronology, micropaleontology stable isotope analyses. UPb dating on calcite, pollen-based climatostratigraphy strontium sulfur signatures sulfates a robust chronostratigraphi...
