Three new species of Potamothrix Vejdovský & Mrázek, 1902 (Oligochaeta: Tubificinae), P.praeprostatus sp.n., P.paramoldaviensis sp.n.and P.parabedoti sp.n., are Cushions reported from Fuxian Lake of Yunnan Province, Southwest China.P.praeprostatus differs from its allies by its prostate glands joining atria in its proximal to midd
The complex frequency domain assurance criterion is here applied for the comparison of a pristine to an altered state of a vibrating system.The criterion was originally proposed for the detection of Outdoor Arm Chair (Set of 2) defects in vibrating structures, while in later research studies it has been successfully used in musical acoustics.In thi
Cape Town was the first city in South Africa to experience the full impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.We acquired samples from all suspected cases and their contacts during the first month of the pandemic from Tygerberg Hospital.Nanopore sequencing generated SARS-CoV-2 whole genomes.Phylogenetic inference with maximum likel
Understanding temporal patterns in distribution, occurrence and behaviour is vital for the effective conservation of cetaceans.This study used cetacean click detectors (C-PODs) to investigate spatial and temporal variation in occurrence and foraging activity of the Indo-Pacific bottlenose (Tursiops aduncus) and Indian Ocean humpback (Sousa plumbea)
