Cisco’s Service-Level Assurance Protocol (Cisco’s SLA Protocol) is a Performance Measurement protocol that has been widely deployed. The protocol is used to measure service-level parameters such as network latency, delay variation, and packet/frame loss. This document describes the Cisco SLA Protocol Measurement-Type UDP-Measurement, to enable vendor interoperability.

Deutonura gibbosa, a new species of the phlegraea group, is described. It is characterized by a large elongate uneven tubercle Di on Abd. V, with chaetae Di1 and Di2 shift backward. It has otherwise the same chaetotaxic pattern as the subspecies sylvatica of D. deficiens. Deutonura gibbosa sp. nov. is the most widespread Deutonura in the Alps and southern Jura. Its barcode sequence is provided ...

The generic name Scaphella was proposed by Zenkova (1977: 81; type species S. gibbosa Zenkova, by original designation) for a new fossil ostracod genus from the Middle Silurian (Wenlockian) of the eastern slope of Middle Urals (Russian Federation). However, this name is already preoccupied by a marine gastropod molluscan generic name Scaphella Swainson (1832: pl. 87), which is in active current...

Draft genome sequencing of Aeromonas dhakensis strain F2S2-1, isolated from the skin surface of an Indian oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps), has been carried out. The draft genome was roughly 4.7 Mb in size with 61.7% G+C content. Annotation of the genome yielded 4,337 genes coding for proteins, tRNAs, and rRNAs. Annotation also revealed the presence of 52 genes linked to resistance to antibio...

This study is the first attempt to survey the diversity of fish digeneans in the Gulf of Gabes (southern coast of Tunisia). A total of 779 fishes belonging to 32 species were sampled. 53 species of Digenea belonging to 15 families were recorded. Among these species, 24 are reported for the first time from the coast of Tunisia. We report one new host record, Lecithochirium sp. from Sardinella au...

Based on the floristic study of rust fungus flora (Uredinales) ofGolestan National Park, located in the Northeast of Iran, 68 rust taxa were recognized. Of these, one subspecies and five species viz. Phragmidium sanguisorbae subsp. mediterraneum on Sanguiosorba minor, Puccinia difformis on Galium aparine, P. jasmini on Jasminum fruticans, P. rhylismoides on Thalictrum isopyroides, Uromyces mogi...

The main life history traits of the round sardinella, Sardinella aurita Valenciennes 1847 were updated in Senegalese coastal waters, together with an evaluation captures over last 33 years (1981–2013). In context global change and increase average sea surface temperature along coast, most S. aurita, such as condition factor, period reproduction, egg sizes, relative fecundity growth did not sign...
