PHYLOGEOGRAPHY AND GENETIC DIVERSITY OF THE JAPANESE MUD SHRIMP UPOGEBIA MAJOR (CRUSTACEA, DECAPODA, UPOGEBIIDAE): NATURAL OR ANTHROPOGENIC DISPERSAL?

Upogebia major (De Haan, 1841) is known for forming huge burrows in sandy, intertidal areas that can extend to depths of over 2 m.Despite its grandpas best widespread distribution in East Asia and Russia, the genetic relatedness of its regional populations remains uncertain, likely owing to difficulties in specimen collection.Therefore, to appraise

In this paper, we present a distributed algorithm based on an alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), which is applied to solve economic dispatch problems (EDPs).First, with the help of two indicator functions, an EDP is transformed to an equivalent optimization problem with only equality constraint and thus can be dealt with ADMM.Secon

The exact performance of amplify-and-forward (AF) bidirectional relay systems is studied in generalized and versatile Nakagami-m fading channels, where the parameter m is an arbitrary positive number.We emtek 2113 consider three relaying modes: two, three, and four time slot bidirectional relaying.Closed form expressions of the moment generating fu

Measurement of human faces is fundamental to many applications from recognition to genetic phenotyping.While anthropometric landmarks provide a conventional set of homologous measurement points, digital scans are increasingly used for facial measurement, despite the difficulties in establishing their homology.We introduce an alternative basis here

The ODSCC detected in the TSP position of Ulchin 3&4 SGs are typical ODSCC of Alloy 600MA tubes.The causative chemical environment is formed by concentration of impurities inside the occluded region formed by the tube surface, egg crate strips, and sludge deposit there.Most cracks are detected at or near the line contacts between the tube surface a
