SEXUAL DIMORPHISM AND SKULL SIZE AND SHAPE IN THE HIGHLY SPECIALIZED SNAKE SPECIES, AIPYSURUS EYDOUXII (ELAPIDAE: HYDROPHIINAE)

Sexual dimorphism and skull size and shape in the highly specialized snake species, Aipysurus eydouxii (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae)

Background Snakes exhibit sexual dimorphism in both head size and shape.Such differences are often attributed to different reproductive roles and VITAMIN D3 CREAM feeding habits.We aim to investigate how sexual dimorphism is displayed in the highly specialised fish-egg-eating snake, Aipysurus eydouxii, by analysing two complementary features: body

Identification of Aerodynamic Tonal Noise Sources of a Centrifugal Compressor of a Turbocharger for Large Stationary Engines

The aerodynamics of centrifugal compressors is a topical issue, as the vibrations and noise reduce the comfort of people who are in proximity to the compressor.The current trend in rotating machinery research is therefore not only concerned with performance parameters but also increasingly with the effect on VITAMIN D3 CREAM humans.An analysis of a

Automated analysis of Baffle Bolts

The Baffle bolts (BB) are components of the lower internals of the vessel of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants.They are subjected to ultrasonic testing (UT) inspection as part of the Long-Term Operation (LTO) of the PWR plants worldwide.Unlike other areas undergo inspection, usually there are more than one thousand bolts in a typ

Stress-induced chaperones: a first line of defense against the powerful oxidant hypochlorous acid [version 1; peer review: 4 approved]

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl; bleach) is a powerful weapon used by our immune system to eliminate invading bacteria.Yet the way Sleep Aid HOCl actually kills bacteria and how they defend themselves from its oxidative action have only started to be uncovered.As this molecule induces both protein oxidation and aggregation, bacteria need concerted efforts
