Assessment of Alternative Substrates for Culturing Lumbriculus variegatus Assessment of Alternative Substrates for Culturing Lumbriculus variegatus
The freshwater oligochaete, Lumbriculus variegatus, is tank-cultured to provide organisms for aquatic-habitat assessments, regeneration research and as a clean source of live food for aquarium fishes. Shredded paper is the typical substrate in cultures used to rear L. variegatus for these purposes. However, the effort needed to separate large numbers from decomposing paper can be...

Borehole observations of continuous strain and fluid pressure: Chapter 9 Borehole observations of continuous strain and fluid pressure: Chapter 9
Strain is expansion, contraction, or distortion of the volcanic edifice and surrounding crust. As a result of magma movement, volcanoes may undergo enormous strain prior to and during eruption. Global Positioning System (GPS) observations can in principle be used to determine strain by taking the difference between two nearby observations and dividing by the distance between them. Two...
