COMPOSITIONAL VARIABILITY OF MG/CA, SR/CA, AND NA/CA IN THE DEEP-SEA BIVALVE ACESTA EXCAVATA (FABRICIUS, 1779).

Compositional variability of Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, and Na/Ca in the deep-sea bivalve Acesta excavata (Fabricius, 1779).

Acesta excavata (Fabricius, 1779) is a slow growing bivalve from the Limidae family and is often found associated with cold-water coral reefs along the European continental margin.Here we present the compositional variability of frequently used proxy elemental North Dakota ratios (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, Na/Ca) measured by laser-ablation mass spectrometry (L

Preoperative evaluation of malignant pancreatobiliary obstruction: A novel technique for multiphase fusion 3D CT images

The purpose of this article is to describe a novel technique of PROGRESSIVE HALF CURE SET multiphase fusion three-dimensional (3D) images in patients with malignant pancreatobiliary obstruction.Multiphase fusion 3D images of CT arteriography, portovenography and hepatic venography combined with negative-contrast CT cholangiopancreatography can be d

Potential menace posed by invasive grass and water quality deterioration on macroinvertebrates structural distribution in a dam in North-Western Nigeria

Water bodies in the world have been studied for varied reasons based on their biota composition, diversity, and influence of environmental variables.A study was carried out to ascertain the probable menace posed by Typha grass and some selected environmental variables on the composition and diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates of Kalgwai Dam, Ji

Early Afterdepolarizations with Growing Amplitudes via Delayed Subcritical Hopf Bifurcations and Unstable Manifolds of Saddle Foci in Cardiac Action Potential Dynamics.

Early afterdepolarizations (EADs) are pathological oscillations in cardiac action potentials during the repolarization phase and may be caused by drug side effects, ion channel disease or oxidative stress.The most widely Miller Engine Drive Parts observed EAD pattern is characterized by oscillations with growing amplitudes.So far, its occurence has
