Telencephalic horseradish peroxidase injections in bichirs reveal projections from the dorsal thalamus, posterior tuberculum, nucleus of the torus lateralis, superior raphe and locus coeruleus. Comparison of these data with those from tetrapods reveals a number of diencephalic homologies. It has recently become obvious that olfactory input to the telencephalon in ray-finned fishes is quite Alth...

STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE There are two species of pilot whales in the western Atlantic — the Atlantic or long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas, and the short-finned pilot whale, G. macrorhynchus. These species are difficult to differentiate at sea; therefore, some of the descriptive material below refers to Globicephala sp., and is identified as such. The species is considere...

STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE There are two species of pilot whales in the Western Atlantic — the Atlantic or long-finned pilot whale, Globice phala melas, and the sh ort-finned pilot wha le, G. macrorhynchus. These sp ecies are diff icult to identify to the species level at sea; therefore, some of the descriptive material below refers to Globice phala sp., and is identified as such. Th...

This paper presents an interactive finned-tube evaporator and condenser design program, EVAP-COND (ver. 3), which incorporates a computational intelligence module, ISHED (Intelligent System for Heat Exchanger Design), for optimization of refrigerant circuitry. This paper presents ISHED’s design, its function, the parameters controlling an optimization run, selected examples of ISHED experimenta...

Ray-finned fishes are notable for having flexible fins that allow for the control of fluid forces. A number of studies have addressed the muscular control, kinematics, and hydrodynamics of flexible fins, but little work has investigated just how flexible ray-finned fish fin rays are, and how flexibility affects their response to environmental perturbations. Analysis of pectoral fin rays of blue...

Passive heat transfer from enclosures with rectangular fins is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Several sample enclosures with various lengths are prepared and tested. To calibrate the thermal measurements and the analyses, enclosures without fins (“bare” enclosures) are also prepared and tested. Surface temperature distribution is determined for various enclosure lengths and heat...

Utilizing thermal storage integrated into a solar air heater SAH is promising solution to enhance the performance of heaters. The present work experimentally investigated impact an absorber-finned heat exchanger-thermal unit inside heater. experiments were conducted under conditions Tikrit-Iraq in December 2021 and January 2022. RT42 RT50 used as PCMs two separate Each PCM filled SAH. A finned ...
