Amathillopsidae is a widely distributed, but rarely sampled family of deep-sea amphipods.During a recent expedition to fbd191blrc 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 to science and is described in detail
Coincidence of low genetic diversity and increasing population size in wild gaur populations in the Khao Phaeng Ma Non-Hunting Area, Thailand: A challenge for conservation management under human-wildlife conflict.
The gaur (Bos gaurus) is found throughout mainland South and Southeast Asia but is listed as an endangered species in Thailand with a decreasing population size and a reduction in suitable habitat.While gaur have shown a population recovery from 35 to 300 individuals within 30 years in the Khao Phaeng Ma (KPM) Non-Hunting Area, this has caused conf
Shaking Table Tests of Curved Bridge considering Bearing Friction Sliding Isolation
Specific to severe damage to curved bridges in earthquakes caused by the excessive force of the fixed bearings and piers, a new seismic design method on curved bridges considering bearing friction sliding isolation is proposed in this paper.Seismic model bridge and isolation model bridge with similarity ratio of 1/20 were made and the shaking table
