Several expeditions in recent years to Isla del Baby Diaper Coco have increased the total number of species of fishes known from the island.Several of these species have been described as new endemics (Bussing 1983, 1990, 1991a, 1991b, 1997).During the 1972 R/V Searcher Expedition to Costa Rica several trawl collections were made around Isla del Co
A period-sequential index algorithm with sigma-pi neural network technology, Foot Balm which is called the (SPNN-PSI) method, is proposed for the prediction of time series datasets.Using the SPNN-PSI method, the cumulative electricity output (CEO) dataset, Volkswagen sales (VS) dataset, and electric motors exports (EME) dataset are tested.The resul
ObjectivesWe established a Wistar rat model of asthma caused by toluene diisocyanate (TDI) exposure, and investigated the relationship between TDI exposure concentrations and respiratory hypersensitivity, airway inflammation, and cytokine secretions in animals, to better understand the mechanism of TDI induced occupational asthma.MethodsWistar rats
Dendritic coarsening in Al-2mol%Si alloy during isothermal solidification at 880K was investigated by phase field modeling.Three coarsening mechanisms operate in the alloy: (a) melting of Metal Desk Lamp (1/CN) small dendrite arms; (b) coalescence of dendrites near the tips leading to the entrapment of liquid droplets; (c) smoothing of dendrites.De
