The neural systems that control escape behavior have been studied intensively in several animals, including mollusks, fish and crayfish. Surprisingly little is known, however, about the activation and the utilization of escape circuits during prey-predator interactions. To complement the physiological and anatomical studies with a necessary behavioral equivalent, we investigated encounters betw...

AIMS To develop and determine the safety of gold nanorods, whose aspect ratios can be tuned to obtain plasmon peaks between 650 and 850 nm, as contrast enhancing agents for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. MATERIALS & METHODS In this study we compared the blood clearance and tissue distribution of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-capped and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated gold...

The genus Thunnus contains eight valid species with a fossil record extending back to the Middle Eocene, about 40 million years ago (Carrol, 1988, Benton, 1993). Collette (1978) distinguished tunas into the temperate subgenus Thunnus (bluefin tuna group) and the tropical subgenus Neothunnus (yellowfin group) by the presence or absence of a central heat exchanger. The yellowfin group contains bl...

We study geometrically thick perfect-fluid tori with constant specific angular momentum, so-called "Polish doughnuts", orbiting deformed compact objects a quadrupole moment. More specifically, we consider two different asymptotically flat, static and axisymmetric vacuum solutions to Einstein's field equation non-zero moment, the q-metric Erez-Rosen spacetime. It is our main goal find features o...

Abstract On 15 July 1908 The Times advertised a talk on ‘personal experiences in spirit-photography and the scientific aspect of spiritualism’, due to take place that night at Eustace Miles Restaurant. Attendees could look forward not only ‘exhibitions spirit writing’, but also enjoying ‘flesh-free’ meal afterwards. This entertainment speaks confluence spiritualist belief vegetarian ideals was ...

—The effect of feeding three commercial diets on production characteristics and body composition of juvenile cobia Rachycentron canadum reared using recirculating aquaculture systems (RASs) was assessed in a 56-d growth trial. Juvenile cobia (mean weight 6 SE, 29.2 6 0.7 g) were stocked into three 8-m tanks in each of four RASs at an initial density of 1.2 kg/m. After stocking, fish were fed on...
