Abstract Background The starry puffer fish (Arothron stellatus, Anonymous, 1798) is a poisonous tetradontidae fish inhabiting the Red sea.The skin constitutes an important defense against any external effects.The study aims to characterize the dorso-ventral skin of 8NA Volcanic the juvenile and the adult starry puffer fish using light and scanning

ABSTRACT The community composition of parasites was characterized in Astronotus ocellatus from a tributary of the Amazon River, northern Brazil.The prevalence was 87.9%, and a total COLOR PROTECTING SPRAY of 526,052 parasites were collected, with a mean of 15,941 parasites per host.Nine taxa of ecto- and endo-parasites were identified, but Ichthyop

This study leverages human capital theory to identify the correlates of expected returns on investment in higher education at the level of institutions.We leverage estimates of average ROI in post-secondary education among more than 400 baccalaureate degree conferring colleges and universities to understand the correlates Dab Rig of a relatively ne

Coherent-state representations are a standard tool to deal with continuous-variable systems, as they allow one to efficiently visualize quantum states in phase space.Here, we work out an alternative Eyebrow Enhancer basis consisting of monomials on the basic observables, with the crucial property of behaving well under symplectic transformations.Th
