Maximum “breaking stress” was measured using a cylinder of 2 mm diameter pushing onto the rostral plate with a speed of 1.0 mm s-1. Measured shell strength (in MPa) was further normalised by dividing by the maximum shell diameter of each individual barnacle. Reproductive maturity Twenty ...
We also found evidence for a possible trade-off between traits (e.g. shell strength and reproduction), which may have important consequences in coping with changing environmental conditions. Overall responses to different salinities were similar in all populations, although differences in shell ...
The as-deposited GST alloy is in the amorphous phase, and a 1.5 min annealing process at 180 °C on a hot plate is performed to obtain the crystalline GST in this paper. Absorptivity measurements The absorptivities of the GST–Au samples are derived by measuring the reflectivities. Because...
Please note that in this analytical solution we assume no coupling between the vibration modes along x and y directions; however, due to the asymmetric shape of the blade and its plate-like form, these crossing terms are expected to be smoothed out. Figure 5. The fluctuation of the natural...
Genomic DNA was extracted using DNeasy PowerSoil isolation kits (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions using an automated homogenizer (1600 MiniG Automated Tissue Homogenizer and Cell Lyser, SPEX SamplePrep, Metuchen, NJ, USA) and a robotic workstation for DNA ...
For analysis, 106 gated cell events for each sample were acquired using the forward-scatter (FSC) and side-scatter (SCC) detectors in a BD (Franklin Lanes, NJ, USA) FACSCanto II flow cytometer. Data were analyzed with FlowJo software (version 10.4.2; BD, Franklin Lanes, NJ, USA). ...
