Reproduction and spawning patterns of the Yellowtail scad (Atule mate) were studied in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea (Hormozgan coastal waters) from December 2016 to November 2017. A total of 447 fish were collected from Bandar Lengeh, Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, and Bandar Jask landing sites. Minimum and maximum fork lengths of this species were 10 and 33 cm, with average 20.63±1.73 cm. The to...

Scaling behavior of the island size distribution through a universal scaling function f(u) is demonstrated for submonolayer pentacene islands in the aggregation regime (0.1<theta<0.5) grown on oxidized silicon surfaces. The distribution of f(u) suggests that four molecules constitute the smallest stable island. The structure factor S(k) of the submonolayer films calculated from AFM micrographs ...

Ion diamagnetic effects on collisionless magnetic reconnection are investigated by means of numerical simulations of a Hamiltonian gyrofluid model. The work is focused in particular on the effects of inhomogeneous density equilibria in the large ∆′ regime. The linear growth rates predicted by asymptotic theory are recovered. Nonlinearly the island shape is strongly modified and the flow changes...

We consider the influence of realistic island diffusion rates to homoepitaxial growth on metallic surfaces using a recently developed rate equation model which describes growth in the submonolayer regime with hyperthermal deposition. To this end, we incorporate realistic size and temperature-dependent island diffusion coefficients for the case of homoepitaxial growth on Cu(100) and Cu(111) surf...

This investigation aimed to assess genetics of body conformation and feed efficiency traits in a control line of Rhode Island Red (RIR) chicken taking single hatched out pedigreed 100 chicks at Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar, India. Data was analyzed by least squares analysis of variance. Least squares means of chick weight (CW), body weight (BW), shank length (SL), keel length (KL...

This paper provides evidence for the presence of Gazella gazella on Fmur Island of Iran in the Persian Gulf. The species has not hitherto been reported from Iran. Based on univariate and multivariate analysis of a number of morphological features of the skull including horn length, premaxillae type, shape of nasal bones and skull breadth it is concluded that the Iranian population represents ...
