Cat Supplies Abstract: Analysis of the natural abundance 14C content of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) from two edible brown algae, Undaria pinnatifida and Laminaria japonica, and a green alga, Ulva sp., revealed that the DBP was naturally produced.The natural abundance 14C content of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) obtained from the same algae was abo
IntroductionThere is no universally appropriate basis for delimiting species in protists, including parasites.Many molecular markers used for species delimitation are part of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) array, with different regions of the array being used for different parasitic protist taxa.However, little is known about sequence variability across
Marine phytoplankton are highly diverse with different species possessing different cell coverings, posing challenges for thoroughly breaking the cells in DNA extraction yet preserving DNA integrity.While quantitative molecular techniques have been increasingly used in phytoplankton research, an effective and simple method broadly applicable to dif
This paper presents a comprehensive study in which non-destructive testing utilizing ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), considering both Top Load Washer pressure (P) waves and shear (S) waves, was used to assess the compressive strength (CS) of rubberized bricks.These innovative bricks were manufactured by blending lime kiln dust (LKD) waste with gro
This paper presents the development of a system for simulating and visualizing autonomous vehicle navigation using a single-beam LiDAR sensor integrated with an artificial neural network, implemented entirely in JavaScript.The single-beam LiDAR sensor in the simulation was configured to closely resemble real-world counterparts, such as the YDLIDAR
