The fish body is entirely covered by a thin, smooth and glandular epidermis, closely attached to the scales inserted on the dermis. The descriptive work on this tissue dates to twenty or thirty years ago, bears very little ...

We develop a criterion based on a brute-force algorithm to systematically determine optimal fitting regions for fluctuation functions in Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) and Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis ...

In tetrapod squamates, the diversity of micro-ornamentations of the epidermis of the contact areas of hands and feet is generally associated with constraints and modalities related to locomotion. Polychrus acutirostris is ...

A scaling-up methodology for the design of large-scale slurry reactors for the photocatalytic oxidation of cyanide is proposed. The only experimental information required to be determined at laboratory-scale is the intrinsic ...

Oceanic and atmospheric global numerical models represent explicitly the large‐scale dynamics while the smaller‐scale processes are not resolved, so that their effects in the large‐scale dynamics are included through ...
