Length–weight relations (LWR) were estimated for 45 fish species (27 families) from a tropical hyperhaline coastal lagoon and a protected biosphere reserve located in Yucatan Peninsula.The following species were studied: Elops saurus Linnaeus, 1766; Anchoa mitchilli (Valenciennes, 1848); Harengula jaguana Poey, 1865; Ariopsis felis (Linna
Sarcocystis falcatula is a well-known cause of fatal pneumonia in some Frypans birds, particularly Old World psittacines.Here we describe fatal sarcosystosis due to S.falcatula in 3 penguins (Family Spheniscidae) under managed care, including one African penguin (Spheniscus demersus), and two Southern rockhopper penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome).Rando
A numerical method is presented to investigate the dynamic response of uniform orthotropic beams subjected to an impact of a mass.Higher order shear deformation and rotary inertia are included in the analysis of the beams.The impactor and laminated composite beam are treated as a system.The nonlinear Bola Slide differential governing equations of m
This paper presents OntologyFixer, a web-based tool that supports a methodology to build, assess, and improve the quality of ontology web language (OWL) ontologies.Using our software, knowledge engineers are able to fix low-quality OWL ontologies (such as those created from natural language documents using ontology learning processes).The fixing pr
