Characterization of an Atypical Metalloproteinase Inhibitors Like Protein (Sbp8-1) From Scallop Byssus

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Adhesion is a vital physiological process for many marine molluscs, including the mussel and scallop, and therefore it is important to characterize the proteins involved in these adhesives.

Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.

An Integrated Assessment Model for Helping the United States Sea Scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) Fishery Plan Ahead for Ocean Acidification and Warming.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Ocean acidification, the progressive change in ocean chemistry caused by uptake of atmospheric CO2, is likely to affect some marine resources negatively, including shellfish.

Clues of ancient incomplete lineage sorting during bivalve evolution undermine support for Heterodonta

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract A long‐standing challenge in phylogenomics has been the resolution of relationships originated from ancient radiations. In these cases, phenomena such as incomplete lineage sorting can increase the support for conflicting resolutions. Most of the diversity in the Class Bivalvia originated during an Ordovician radiation; indeed, several deep ...

Scallop‐Related Airway Foreign Body in an Adult

Respirology Case Reports
A 65‐year‐old woman aspirated scallop‐containing rice porridge, presenting with dyspnea. Computed tomography revealed a foreign body in the right upper bronchus, which was removed using flexible bronchoscopy.

Identification of PARPs and their potential role in longevity for larger Argopecten scallops to increase production

Aquaculture Reports
The bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) is an important species in the fisheries and aquaculture industries. However, the bay scallop’s small size, short lifespan (less than 14 months), and severe inbreeding depression present challenges for its ...

Interactive Effects of Elevated Temperature and Moderate Hypoxia on a Shallow‐Water Bivalve, Fulvia mutica

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid progressing climate change, this study investigated the interactive effects of water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and shell length on Fulvia mutica, a shallow‐coastal water bivalve, focusing on the combined impacts of elevated temperature and moderate hypoxia.

Leakage and rotordynamic coefficients of labyrinth-scallop seals

Проблеми трибології
Reducing leakages and improving the rotor-dynamic damping characteristics of annular seals is an essential problem of sealing technology. A whole range of damping seals are used to seal the shafts of turbomachines, such as honeycomb, hole pattern, pocket,

Impact of Heat Block Drying on Morphologic Preservation and Staining of Peripheral Blood Smears

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Morphologic evaluation of the peripheral blood smear is critical for diagnosis and ruling out certain hematologic disorders. While air‐drying is standard, some laboratories may use heat blocks to expedite drying. Excessive heat may induce morphologic artifacts, but there is a lack of systematic literature on this practice ...

Structure and long-term dynamics of zoobenthos communities in the areas of scallop Chlamys islandica beds at Kola Peninsula

Известия ТИНРО, 2018
Current state of zoobenthos in the areas of scallop Chlamys islandica beds in the southern Barents Sea and eastern White Sea (Voronka) is described. The scallop stock is ex­ploited there with the landing by specialized vessels, without separation of ...
