A FIRST PHYLOGENETIC STUDY ON STOLONIFEROUS OCTOCORALS OFF THE COAST OF KOTA KINABALU, SABAH, MALAYSIA, WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF TWO NEW GENERA AND FIVE NEW SPECIES

Sabah, Malaysia, is well known for its extensive and diverse coral reefs.It is located on the northwestern edge of the Coral Triangle, the region with the 5 highest marine biodiversity.Much of the marine fauna here is still unknown, especially inconspicuous animals, such as small stoloniferous octocorals, which are common on coral reefs.Here, we de

The use of cognitive multidisciplinary strategies represents a powerful tool to allow a communication system to transmit and receive data in a secure way by working in parallel with other electromagnetic devices, sharing the same frequency channels, without being affected by malfunctions caused by unintentional or intentional interferences (e.g.jam

Abstract Spatially resolved transcriptomics is an emerging class of high-throughput technologies that enable biologists to systematically investigate the expression of genes along with spatial information.Upon data acquisition, one major Trimpots hurdle is the subsequent interpretation and visualization of the datasets acquired.To address this chal

To solve problems of brightness and detail information loss in infrared and visible image fusion, Pie Press an effective infrared and visible image fusion method using rolling guidance filtering and gradient saliency map is proposed in this paper.The rolling guidance filtering is used to decompose the input images into approximate layers and residu

Directional detection of Dark Matter Throw Pillows particles (DM) in the MeV mass range could be accomplished by studying electron recoils in large arrays of parallel carbon nanotubes.In a scattering process with a lattice electron, a DM particle might transfer sufficient energy to eject it from the nanotube surface.An external electric field is ad
