IDENTIFICATION OF A LOCUS CONFERRING DOMINANT SUSCEPTIBILITY TO PYRENOPHORA TRITICI-REPENTIS IN BARLEY


Three new Luticola D.G.Mann (Bacillariophyta) species from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) found in terrestrial diatom assemblages dominated by widely distributed taxa

Background Rapa Nui (Easter Island = Isla de Pasqua) here is of volcanic origin, best known for about 900 man-made stone statues known as moai.It is one of the most isolated inhabited islands on Earth and studies on the diatoms of Rapa Nui are very few.Methods Light (LM) and electron microscopic (SEM) observations of a single sample collected from

Scattering and Directionality Effects of Noise Generation from Flapping Thrusters Used for Propulsion of Small Ocean Vehicles

Flapping-foil thrusters are systems that operate at a substantially lower frequency compared with marine propellers and are characterized by a much smaller power concentration.These biomimetic devices are able to operate very efficiently, offering desirable levels of thrust required for the propulsion of small vessels or autonomous underwater vehic
