The feeding habits of the stargazer Uranoscopus scaber Linnaeus, 1758 were analysed using 360 stomachs specimens collected in southern Adriatic Sea between October 2011 and September 2012. total body length ranged from 9.7 to 32.1 cm (18.89 ± 3.34 cm) weight 11.7 618.7 g (112.79 63.17 g). In sampled population there 213 females (59.17%) 147 males (40.83%). Stargazer is carnivorous fish its diet...

Four new species of Ceratomyxa Thélohan, 1892 are described from the gall bladders of fishes collected off Lizard Island, Australia. These species are characterised using a combination of morphometric and molecular data. Ceratomyxa bartholomewae sp. n. is described from Hyporhamphus dussumieri (Valenciennes) (family Hemirhamphidae); C. koieae sp. n. is described from Sphyraena forsteri Cuvier (...

We describe a new way to impart pH-responsive properties to gels of biopolymers such as gelatin. This approach involves the embedding of pH-sensitive nanosized vesicles within the gel. The vesicles employed here are those of sodium oleate (NaOA), a fatty-acid-based amphiphile with a single C18 tail. In aqueous solution, NaOA undergoes a transition from vesicles at a pH approximately 8 to micell...

For the past three years, students in ARCE 483 Seismic Analysis and Design in the Architectural Engineering program at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo have been designing experiments using K’nex toys. The resulting experiments have included the effects of fixity on natural frequency, flexible versus rigid performance, seismic activity on a bridge structure, soft story behavior in buildings, the effect...
