Examination of the type material of Progrillotia dollfusi Carvajal et Rego, 1983, and of new specimens recently collected off the coast of Argentina (including plerocerci from 10 species of teleosts and adults from Squatina guggenheim Marini), allowed a detailed redescription of this species and the evaluation of its current taxonomic status. The following characters that have been treated inco...

The late Black feminist scholar, bell hooks, suggested that the margin can be a place of radical possibility, where marginalized people nourish their capacity for collective resistance. On margin, it is possible to generate counter-language. In this paper, we chronicle, describe and reflect upon how hooks' ideas inspired creation national 2-day conference titled, ‘Listening Margins’. This was f...

A recent study (Fish. Bull. 109:394–401 (2011)) purportedly tests two hypotheses: 1. that the capture of elasmobranchs would be reduced with hooks containing magnets in comparison with control hooks in hook-and-line and longline studies. 2. that the presence of permanent magnets on hooks would not alter teleost capture because teleosts lack the ampullary organ. Review of this paper shows some i...

Digital video has become a dominant form of student learning in and beyond the classroom, thus its pervasive nature contemporary environments commands scholarly inquiry. In this paper we explore participatory design-based research approach to integration hook technology post-primary science classroom (students aged 12–15). Video hooks were designed with intention engaging students augmenting th...

Watari T, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-222987 Description An embedded fish hook injury is a tough condition for clinical decision-making, as it needs to be determined whether to advance the hook or to pull it out. Patients or their friends usually attempt to remove a fish hook, causing more soft tissue trauma. There are many different sizes and types of fish hooks, and the fou...

Initial solidification in the meniscus region during continuous casting of steel slabs forms periodic surface depressions called oscillation marks, which are often accompanied by subsurface microstructural features called “hooks”. To understand their formation mechanism, a transient finite-element model, CON2D has been applied to compute temperature, stress, and distortion of a steel shell duri...

In this paper we present, for any integer d, a description of the set of hooks in a d-symbol. We then introduce generalized hook length functions for a d-symbol, and prove a general result about them, involving the core and quotient of the symbol. We list some applications, for example to the well-known hook lengths in integer partitions. This leads in particular to a generalization of a relati...
