Heavy metals concentrations in bivalve Psammotaea elongata from five sampling sites in Semerak Lagoon were determined by ICP-MS. The mean concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe and Zn were 0.18, 4.42, 1.15, 1.47 and 46.35 μg/g in total soft tissue; 0.68, 20.08, 5.29, 85.5 and 9.06 μg/ g in stomach; 0.7, 17.05, 4.39, 84.15 and 8.62 μg/g in leg; 0.74, 15.19, 4.4, 80.69 and 8.6 μg/g in ligament, respect...

A new genus of soft-bodied oonopids, Gradunguloonops, is established for a group of goblin spiders found in the Amazonian rainforests of northern South America. Members of this genus differ from other oonopids in that the proclaw of tarsi I and II is notably larger than the corresponding retroclaw, a putative synapomorphy of the group. Gradunguloonops comprises twelve species, all new and descr...

Because levator ani (LA) muscle injuries occur in approximately 13% of all vaginal births, insights are needed to better prevent them. In Part I of this paper, we conducted an analysis of the bony and soft tissue factors contributing to the geometric "capacity" of the maternal pelvis and pelvic floor to deliver a fetal head without incurring stretch injury of the maternal soft tissue. In Part I...

Abstract We present a new set of soft generalized* β -locally closed ( here after mentioned as , g ∗ s - lc ), − ∗∗ ) sets in STS. Further to the above, relation between other notions connected with forms and some properties are studied.

Avila and Molina [1] introduced the notion of generalized weak structures which naturally generalize minimal structures, generalized topologies and weak structures and the structures α(g),π(g),σ(g) and β(g). This work is a further investigation of generalized weak structures due to Avila and Molina. Further we introduce the structures ro(g) and rc(g) and study the properties of the structures r...

The mechanisms of destabilisation the flow through soft-walled channels/tubes are qualitatively different from those in rigid-walled conduits. stability depends on two dimensionless parameters, Reynolds number $(\rho _f V_f h_f/ \mu _f)$ and $\varSigma = (\rho G h_f^{2}/\mu _f^{2})$ , where $\rho _f$ $\mu fluid density viscosity, $h_f$ $V_f$ length velocity scale $G$ is wall elasticity modulus....

In this paper, we introduce two different notions of generalized supra soft sets namely supra A--soft sets and supra soft locally closed sets in supra soft topological spaces, which are weak forms of supra open soft sets and discuss their relationships with each other and other supra open soft sets [{it International Journal of Mathematical Trends and Technology} (IJMTT), (2014) Vol. 9 (1):37--...

Studies of the magnetization of Fe2O3@Pt nanoparticles at room temperature showed that there is superparamagnetic contribution with high saturation magnetization about 12.35(emu/g), and soft ferromagnetic contribution with narrow coercive field about 58(Oe). In this paper we fitted the hystersis loop of sample with Brillouin function that demonstrating existence of superparamagnetic phase. Tota...

Numerical simulations of soft-core frictionless disks in two dimensions are carried out to study the behavior of a simple liquid as a function of temperature T, packing fraction φ, and uniform applied shear strain rate γ[over ·]. Inferring the hard-core limit from our soft-core results, we find that it depends on the two parameters φ and T/γ[over ·]. Here T/γ[over ·]→0 defines the athermal limi...

Evaluating the addition of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antifungals for Candida albicans biofilm on the hardness and roughness of temporary denture soft liners. Specimens (n=8; 36×7×6 mm) of tissue conditioner (Softone) and resilient liner (Trusoft) were produced either without (control) or with incorporation of drugs at MICs: nystatin (0.032 g/mL), chlorhexidine diacetate (0.064...
