COMPARATIVE REPRODUCTION ASPECTS OF THE DEEP-WATER SHRIMPS ARISTAEOMORPHA FOLIACEA AND ARISTEUS ANTENNATUS (DECAPODA, ARISTEIDAE) IN THE GREEK IONIAN SEA (EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN)

Comparative Reproduction Aspects of the Deep-water Shrimps Aristaeomorpha foliacea and Aristeus antennatus (Decapoda, Aristeidae) in the Greek Ionian Sea (Eastern Mediterranean)

In the eastern Ionian Sea, the deep-water shrimps Aristaeomorpha foliacea and Aristeus antennatus constitute a virgin fishing resource, since their maximum abundance depth Headband exceeds commercial exploitation depths.The two sympatric species share a number of common reproductive features, such as summer reproduction.A slight temporal shift in m

Investigation of Mechanical Characterization of Transversely Isotropic Rock Mass Based on Rigid Block Discrete Element Method

The laminated joints of transversely isotropic rock mass show strong discontinuity, inhomogeneity, anisotropy, and nonlinearity.This paper proposes a novel rigid block discrete element method (RB-DEM) to simulate the transversely isotropic rock mass.The balls in traditional DEM simulation are replaced by rigid blocks generated using FEM Garden Scul
