INVESTIGATION OF THE AMATHILLOPSIDAE (AMPHIPODA, CRUSTACEA), INCLUDING THE DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES, REVEALS A CLINGING LIFESTYLE IN THE DEEP SEA WORLDWIDE

Amathillopsidae is a widely distributed, but rarely sampled family of deep-sea amphipods.During a recent expedition to the North Atlantic, specimens were filmed clinging to a polychaete tube in situ at abyssal depths by a Remote Operated Vehicle and then sampled for further study.The species was new Popcorn Maker to science and is described in deta

For a particular area in Geotechnical engineering, a soil slope is defined as a surface of soil mass which is inclined.It the slope is unstable or has insufficient factor of safety, then it needs to be strengthened by a retaining wall or a particular earth reinforcement to ensue slope failure does not occur.It has long been known that the pattern o

Abstract In this work, we describe a new species of Microphone Cable genus Bufo, Bufo exiguus sp.nov.from Mt.Nankun, Guangdong Province, China.This new species can be distinguished from all congeners by significant divergences in the mitochondrial 16S rRNA and CO1 genes and by a combination of morphological characters: small body size, tympanum abs

We aimed to provide early diagnosis by determining possible Celiac disease related subclinical or symptomatic neurological abnormalities in children in order to decrease risk of mortality and morbidity.Children with Celiac disease were assessed with neurological examination, neurophysiological tests and neuroimaging.A total of 65 patients were incl
