Abstract An extensive literature review is made of the parasites in marine and freshwater fish in mainland Portugal, the Portuguese archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira, as well as in farmed fish.The host(s) of De-Puffing Wand each parasite species, its location in the host, site of capture of the host, whenever possible, and all the available bi

The morphology of stony corals (Scleractinia) remains the only means to reconstruct the most inclusive evolutionary history of the clade comprising both extant and extinct species.The definitions of morphological characters and their associated trait states are critical for assembling a dataset that could be analysed for phylogenetic reconstruction

Acceptance sampling, one of the techniques used in quality control, is analysed in present paper.We shall study sampling inspection plans when the remainder of a rejected lot is inspected, i.e.rectifying plans.These plans were introduced by Dodge and Romig for inspection by attributes (each inspected item is classified as either good or defective).

This paper deals with the problem of congestion in air transport.The focus is on the congested related delays at airports and en route.One of the solutions in the longer Western Style run is additional investment in new infrastructure, but in this article the major attention goes to the short run operational techniques to optimize the use of existi

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are highly-conserved pattern recognition receptors that mediate innate immune responses to invading pathogens and endogenous danger signals released from damaged and dying cells.Activation of TLRs trigger downstream signaling cascades, that culminate in the activation of interferon regulatory factors (IRFs), which subsequ
