A total 56 recorded out which 35 rotifers, 6 protozoan, 8 copepods, 5 cladocerans 2 ostracods species. During study, rotifera was most abundan...

OceanStore is an Internet-scale, persistent data store designed for incremental scalability, secure sharing, and long-term durability. Pond is the OceanStore prototype; it contains many of the features of a complete system including location-independent routing, Byzantine update commitment, push-based update of cached copies through an overlay multicast network, and continuous archiving to eras...

[1] A one-dimensional, thermodynamic, and radiative model of a melt pond on sea ice is presented that explicitly treats the melt pond as an extra phase. A two-stream radiation model, which allows albedo to be determined from bulk optical properties, and a parameterization of the summertime evolution of optical properties, is used. Heat transport within the sea ice is described using an equation...

POND, a KL-ONE based knowledge representation language, provides the underlying structure for GATOR, a system used to gather requirements of telephony features. POND differs from a standard KL-ONE language by dividing knowledge into three levels: a Concept Level, an Instance Level, and a Model Level. The Concept and Instance Levels correspond, respectively, to KL-ONE's TBox and ABox. The Model ...

Gametogenesis and the temporal changes occurring in the ovaries and testes throughout the reproductive cycle in the invasive alien bivalve, Chinese pond mussel Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea), from the heated Konin lakes system (central Poland) were studied using histological techniques. S. woodiana was confirmed to be a gonochoristic species with overall sex ratio of 1:1. The examined morphological...

Maintaining growth through intensification in the New Zealand dairy industry is a challenge for various reasons, in particular sustainably managing the large volumes of effluent. Dairy farm effluents have traditionally been treated using two-pond systems that are effective in the removal of carbon and suspended solids, however limited in their ability to remove nutrients. In the past these nutr...
