Macrobenthos consists of the organisms that live at the bottom of the water column and are visible to the naked eye (usually >0.5mm in size) 2.About 80% of the benthic organisms are Epifauna that are living on or are attached to the surface of rocky areas or firm sediments play an important role in ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling,

A dumbbell-shaped lesion is a solitary tumour that is constricted as it exits the neural foramen. The constriction gives the neurofibroma the appearance of a dumbbell that is used by weight lifters. Neurofibromas that arise from the spinal canal may be intradural or extradural and most commonly in the cervical spine (44%), followed by the thoracic

An effort was made to assess the utility of 650 bp partial Cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (DNA barcode) gene in delineating the members of taxonomically ambiguous marine fin fishes (Family: Mugilidae). To address the issue we used all the 95 barcode sequences of Mugilidae family available at NCBI (National Centre for Biotechnological Information) a

Utilization of modified-polyHIPE polymer matrix in the immobilization cell system is probably can substitute conventional cell matrix. The confined microenvironment was designed to promote the bacterium growth and its metabolic activity. The applied forced-flow seeding technique yielded a more uniform distribution of cells within the polymeric supp

The challenges faced by journalists and mass media in war torn countries are serious. The same could be said to be the case in Afghanistan. Though freedom of speech and of the mass media are among the on-going struggles of the Afghan people after the fall of the Taliban regime, it is worrying that the initial success against the Taliban or other ne

Metal nitride materials are garnering interest in many fields including electrochemistry, although they are still at an early stage of investigation and underexplored. This mini review provides insights on the latest advancements in the field of electroanalytical chemistry based on metal nitride materials, specifically focusing on the best performi

An understanding of fluid flow in sudden expansion has resulted in a great deal of research work in this area. Of particular interest is the study of base drag which influences the performance of automotive vehicles, aircraft, and missiles. Problems of fuel mixing in combustion chambers and reduction of specific fuel consumption are also governed b

This paper aims to investigate the dimension of knowledge factors of Muslim society’s purchase intention towards Halal products. Knowledge and religious belief are used as the independent variable while consumers’ factor intention is the dependent one. A quantitative study in this research utilizes a purposive sampling method that will generate

A non-uniform current spreading in the current spreader can greatly reduce the effciency of the light-emitting diode (LED). The effects of the electrode contact area to the spreading layer towards extraction effciency of LED chips is analysed in analytical simulations. Length of current spreading and light extraction effciency is analysed for varia

Joint cartilage has been a significant focus on the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) since its inception in the 1980s. Represented by only one cell type, cartilage has been a simple tissue that is thought to be straightforward to deal with. After three decades, engineering cartilage has proven to be anything but easy. Wi
