The effect of temperature on the rate of oxygen consumption and heart rate has been investigated in the Red Sea, inter-tidal wedge clam Donax faba. The 010 values for both oxygen consumption and heart rate were often < 2.5 and were relatively constant over a wide range of temperature. This suggests that wedge clam is well adapted for life in high temperature environment. It was noted, however, ...

The present study was performed to determine the depuration time and ability of Donax trunculus (Wedge Clam) and Tapes decussatus (Carpet Shell) contaminated with Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Clams were contaminated with each bacterium at the level of 7.0 - 8.0 Log10 cfu/g. After contamination, clams were analyzed every 3...

The coquina clam, Donax variabilis, rides flow from waves, migrating shoreward during rising tides and seaward during falling tides. This method of locomotion, swash-riding, is controlled not only behaviorally but also morphologically. The shape of this clam causes it to orient passively; a clam rotates in flow, usually in backwash, until its anterior end is upstream. Rotation is about a vertic...

background: in radiotherapy, wedge filters are used for optimizing the tumor dose distribution in patients. the attenuation in beam intensity due to the presence of wedge filter is compensated by means of a wedge factor measured at the central axis of the beam. the field size, depth and ssd dependence of wedge factor have been assessed for 9mv radiations of neptun pc linear accelerator. materia...

The aim of the present study was to carry out an initial screening trace metals bioaccumulation in soft tissues wedge clam ( Donax trunculus Linnaeus, 1758) from different localities Bulgarian Black Sea coastal area and evaluate bioindicator potential this species. Wedge clams were collected June September 2020 sublittoral sandy habitats at coast. Soft individual digested with nitric acid follo...
