Splenic rupture can be categorized into two groups: traumatic and atraumatic.Traumatic rupture is Cali disc frequently associated with blunt abdominal trauma, while atraumatic splenic rupture (ASR) is more uncommon and has been associated with both benign and malignant hematological disorders.In general, most cases of splenic rupture are managed wi

Step-ratio automatic transmission upshift performance can be improved by modulating the off-going (OFG) clutch during the inertia phase.In this paper, a static powertrain performance model is derived and applied for the purpose of numerically efficient, multi-objective shift control parameter optimization for the inertia phase.The optimization is a

Scleractinian reef corals have recently been acknowledged as the most numerous host group found in association with hydroids belonging to the Zanclea genus.However, knowledge of the molecular phylogenetic relationships among Zanclea species associated with scleractinians is just beginning.This study, using the nuclear 28S rDNA region and the fast-e
