Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) are ecosystem engineers with strong effects on species diversity and abundances.Mussel beds appear to be declining in the Gulf of Maine, apparently due to climate change and predation by the invasive green crab, Carcinus maenas.As mussels die, they create a legacy of large expanses of shell biogenic structure.In Maine,
Innovations in Raman spectroscopic techniques provide a potential solution to current problems in pharmaceutical drug monitoring.This review aims presonus eris e44 to summarize the recent advances in the field.The developments of novel plasmonic nanoparticles continuously push the limits of Raman spectroscopic detection.In surface-enhanced Raman sp
Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a hypersonic compressible flow over a blunt wedge with fast acoustic disturbances in freestream is performed.The receptivity characteristics of boundary layer to freestream pulse acoustic disturbances are numerically investigated at Mach 6, and the frequency effects of freestream pulse wave on boundary layer rec
This article determines the rate of growth to infinity of scalar autonomous nonlinear functional and Volterra differential equations.In these equations, the right-hand side is a positive continuous linear functional of f(x).We assume f grows sublinearly, leading to subexponential growth in the solutions.The main results show that the solution of th
