Stomach contents of the long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas, are reported for the first time from New Zealand waters. Analyses based on two male and three female whales (2.5–5.3 m in length) that stranded on Farewell Spit, Golden Bay, South Island in December 2005 revealed a diet comprised exclusively of cephalopods (2−33 lower cephalopod beaks per stomach). Two genera of cephalopod fro...

This paper presents the results of numerical and experimental studies wind action on longitudinal finned tubes LNG ambient air vaporizers. The main objective study was to determine aerodynamic drag coefficients for with different number fins considering various directions action. Numerical calculations were performed using CFD analysis, while tests carried out in a tunnel test stand. obtained i...

El’gygytgyn, the only “ancient lake” in Arctic (3.6 MY), is a deep (176 m) and extremely cold (always ? 4°C) waterbody inhabited by unique salmonids, which colonized ecosystem stepwise during global fluctuations of Quaternary climate. The descendant first-wave-invaders (long-finned charr) dwells waters feeds on amphipods. second-wave-invaders (smallmouth consume copepods mid-waters. Recent thir...
