VARIABILITY OF SYMBIODINIUM COMMUNITIES IN WATERS, SEDIMENTS, AND CORALS OF THERMALLY DISTINCT REEF POOLS IN AMERICAN SAMOA.

Variability of Symbiodinium Communities in Waters, Sediments, and Corals of Thermally Distinct Reef Pools in American Samoa.

Reef-building corals host assemblages of symbiotic algae (Symbiodinium spp.) whose diversity and abundance may fluctuate under different conditions, potentially facilitating acclimatization to environmental change.The composition of free-living Symbiodinium in reef waters and sediments may also be environmentally labile and may influence symbiotic

Unresectable Recurrent Multiple Meningioma: A Case Report with Radiological Response to Somatostatin Analogues

Medical treatment of meningiomas is reserved for cases in which surgery and radiotherapy have failed.Given that a high percentage of meningiomas express somatostatin receptors, treatment with somatostatin analogues has been proposed.In addition, these medications have been shown to have an antiproliferative and antiangiogenic effect in vitro.To dat

Tribo-Brake Characteristics between Brake Disc and Brake Shoe during Emergency Braking of Deep Coal Mine Hoist with the High Speed and Heavy Load

The friction wear and thermal fatigue cracking of the brake shoe and friction-induced self-excited vibration (frictional flutter) of the disc brake can easily occur during emergency braking of a deep coal mine hoist with at high speed and with a heavy load.Therefore, tribo-brake characteristics between the brake disc and brake shoe during emergency
