This review and data analysis outline how fish biologists should most reliably estimate the minimal amount of oxygen needed by a fish to support its aerobic metabolic rate (termed standard metabolic rate; SMR). By reviewing key literature, it explains the theory, terminology and challenges underlying SMR measurements in fishes, which are almost always made using respirometry (which measures oxy...

Electrical conductivity and permittivity of carbon black-polyvinyl chloride composites were studied over a wide frequency spectrum (dc, 1.3 GHz). Conductivity of the bulk composites increases with higher volume fraction of carbon black as expected. However, the functional dependence of the increasing conductivity with carbon black loading is different below and above the percolation threshold b...

Experimental data on the shape of hadronic momentum spectra are compared with theoretical predictions in the context of calculations in the Modified Leading Log Approximation (MLLA), under the assumption of Local Parton Hadron Duality (LPHD). Considered are experimental measurements at e+e -colliders of p , the position of the maximum in the distribution of p = log(1=xp), where xp = p=pbeam. Th...

a simple semi-phenomenological model, which accurately predicts the dependence of thresholdcurrent for temperature of resonant-phonon three well quantum cascade laser based on verticaltransitions is offered. we found that, the longitude optical phonon scattering of thermally excitedelectrons is the most important limiting factor for thermal performance of high frequency thz qcls.in low frequenc...

MEG studies have shown that the timing (latency) of the evoked response that peaks approximately 100 ms post-stimulus onset (M100) decreases as frequency increases for sinusoidal tones. We investigated M100 latency using a continuum of synthesized vowel stimuli in which the dominant formant frequency increases from 250 Hz (perceived /u/) to 750 Hz (perceived /a/) in 50 Hz steps. While M100 late...
