In order to determine the age structure, growth, and length-weight relationship of the mudskipper, Periophthalmus waltoni, from coastal mudflats of Qeshm Island, Soroo and Bandar-pol, in Hormuzgan Province, Iran, we collected 192 individuals in February 2007. Age was determined using the second pectoral radial bone and year class was based on length-frequency distributions. Growth was descr...

We analyze the growth stability of an epitaxial strained film on a flat substrate by the elastic Green’s function force monopole approach. We calculate and compare the strain energies and growth instability of three different forms of surface undulations: sinusoidal waviness, surface faceting and island formation. In general, the instability occurs beyond a critical length scale, in agreement w...

Transport use in island states shares many of the same characteristics as other developing countries, but with added complications of geographic isolation and lack of capital for many islanders. This paper examines the influence of the automobile in 45 Small Island Developing States (SIDS), as defined by the United Nations, using multiple regression techniques. Under these cross sectional proce...

The evolution of the shape and size of TiSi2 islands on Si ~111! surfaces is explored with real time ultraviolet photoelectron emission microscopy. During continuous deposition of Ti at elevated temperatures, individual islands in a dilute surface distribution grow larger without island–island interactions. As they increase in size, symmetric islands transform into elongated shaped islands with...

Rasbora sp. is one of native fish species that inhabit in Tamblingan Lake. Several publication discussed about this other ecosystem was published, but very rare information The aims research ware determine the length-length relationships, growth pattern and condition Fish sampling conducted from January to December 2019 method purposive which did alternately every month on five station represen...

introductionpersian gulf is a water body at the margin of indian ocean which makes way to oman sea and indian oceanthrough the strait of hormuz with the minimum width of 56 km. specific condition of the persian gulf such ashigh evaporation, high salinity, aqueous species diversity, fisheries value and especially oil sources of the area,which have extra importance in the world, have made it a se...

Objective To explore the feasibility of the submental island flap in the repair of hypopharyngeal defects. Methods We collected wet specimens of fresh cadaveric heads from the Han Chinese adult population for applied anatomy of the submental island flap, and followed five patients with pyriform sinus carcinoma after reconstruction surgery using submental island flaps. Results We found that ...
